After getting along with each other these days, Lin Huanran's mind has changed towards Ding Xiang, a playboy. Although he has never regarded him as a big brother, nor has he ever called him the word big brother. But Ding Xiang still stands as the big brother.
He took care of Lin Huanran from his own standpoint, but Lin Huanran owed a lot of favors along the way.
That's why the attitude of the two guards made Lin Huanran a little angry. But every time he saw the expression on Ding Xiang's face, Lin Huanran could only sigh and shake his head.
Talking and laughing, the two of them were soon standing downstairs at Piaoyanyunke.
Piaoyanyunke has a total of three floors, with unique decoration and simple and antique fragrance. The four characters on the plaque are also dancing with dragons and phoenixes. Even if you stand outside, you can smell the fragrance wafting out, which makes people move their index fingers.
"Let's go in." Ding Xiang took the lead and stepped in like a big brother. Lin Huanran followed behind with a smile and shook his head.
It has to be said that the interior of Piaoyan Yunke is even more unique, with a variety of private rooms that can meet everyone's requirements. Whether it's the romance of swords, guns, and sticks, or the scholarly door of piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, they are all available, no matter what you are
It seems that all careers can be found in such a place.
Each floor has a different decoration style, and it is very crowded and lively. It seems to dispel the cold chill a lot.
"How's it going? Is the elder brother's introduction correct?" Just as Ding Xiang said proudly, the waiter from the store also came over, "Two gentlemen, the weather is very cold, please come inside quickly."
"Prepare a private room for us. I don't want anyone to disturb you." After saying that, Ding Xiang threw out a silver coin, and the waiter nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face.
This period of time is definitely the peak season for Haoran City, and it is also the peak season for these waiters. As long as they are discerning and not stupid, the reward money alone will be countless.
This is the elegant room in the corner of the second floor. Ding Xiang ordered many specialties skillfully and fluently, and then served a few bottles of good wine. Then he tipped the waiter again and told him to close the door and leave without disturbing him.
"Eat, I will go to school with my eldest brother tomorrow." After Ding Xiang finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks to taste the food without ceremony, but Lin Huanran picked up the wine on the table first.
Ding Xiang's face looked a little strange, "I mean, little brother, I can't tell you are quite the drinker."
Lin Huanran didn't say anything. After pouring wine for Ding Xiang, he picked up the wine and tasted it. In fact, only Potian knew that he was not good at wine, but that he had to understand wine.
"Although this wine is fragrant and mellow, it has too many impurities, which is really a big failure." The impurities in the wine will directly affect the taste of the wine, but these people's brewing technology cannot remove the impurities at all, and there is nothing they can do about it.
Ding Xiang, who was on the side, heard Lin Huanran's decent comment and spit out the wine in his mouth, "You are so boastful. How many wines have you drunk? This Piaoyan Yunke's dripping green cloud dew is considered to be the best."
The wine is waiting for you, and you can still see its shadow even in the royal banquet."
"It turns out it's called Di Cui Yun Lu. It's a good name, but it's a pity." Lin Huanran put down the wine glass and seemed to have no interest in drinking anymore.
"Little brother, your tone is really louder than your elder brother and I. Don't say this when you go out in the future, otherwise your elder brother will be embarrassed along with you." Lin Huanran couldn't deny Ding Xiang's words. Now is not the time, and he will naturally do it when the time comes.
Let Ding Xiang see what real wine is.
After three rounds of drinking, Ding Xiang was already half drunk. Both of them had had enough wine and food, and it was probably time to leave with satisfaction. But they didn't expect that he would actually start chatting.
"Brother, do you know why I want to go to this martial arts academy?"
Lin Huanran shook his head honestly, and after Ding Xiang poured himself a glass of wine, he laughed at himself, "Everyone says that I am diligent and studious, and that I will go to Shangwu Academy to compete with the talented children of Haoyang Kingdom. But that family's
Will the young master go to a school at will?" After saying this, he let out a wine burp.
Lin Huanran secretly sighed, it is true. If the family is quite large and can be cultivated by the family, there is no need to go to a school. Unless you are interested in pursuing an official career, you will simply take over the honors.
"Actually, I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm not here to go to school. I was sent here. I'm afraid I will become an official of the imperial court and never go back." After saying this, Ding Xiang's usual smile disappeared.
All the faces were filled with sadness and sighs.
"This boy has endured a lot in his heart. Boy, you are very much like you before." Lin Huanran ignored Potian's words and just silently picked up food for him, but Ding Xiang had no intention of eating anymore.
No matter how delicious and delicious these dishes are, they are still like red and pink skulls in his eyes.
"My eldest brother, my eldest brother is the real genius, and I can't practice the Ding family's skills at all, hahaha." After saying that, he drank another drink. His voice became louder and louder, and he seemed very excited. This
After spending a few days together, it seemed that he regarded Lin Huanran as the only audience he could vent to.
Originally, this drop of Green Cloud Dew was not considered a strong drink, but after drinking it too much, I was still drunk. The ancients did not deceive me when it comes to speaking the truth after drinking.
Perhaps this was the first time in many years that he had revealed his true feelings, which was why he was so rude.
"Do you think I'm not angry at these guards for treating me like this? But what can I do? They don't look down on me at all. They look down on me." His voice became smaller and smaller. He was already asleep, but the corner of his eyes
The tears made Lin Huanran's heart shake.
After confirming that he was asleep, Lin Huanran came to him, and a small ray of true energy entered along his meridians.
"How?" Lin Huanran asked Potian. Although he is now very good at controlling the Qi and there is nothing to criticize about it, he still needs the more experienced Potian Sword to answer the internal situation of the human body.
Authoritative.
"The meridians are flexible and the talent is extraordinary. This guy has an extraordinary physique and should be very suitable for practice." Potian's voice was surprised.
But the reality is indeed the case, Ding Xiang was sent out. Could it be that there was a family conspiracy that prevented others from discovering it? Or is it that the Ding family's martial arts are not suitable for him?
"Boy, if Ding Xiang can find a good skill, his future will be limitless. This Ding family is really a blind eye." Potian was a little disdainful, but he still has a big family? He is really ignorant.
He nodded, Ding Xiang was already drunk now and it was not appropriate to stay here any longer. Then he carried Ding Xiang on his back and walked out of the private room.
After the waiter counted it, he found a total of twenty-six taels of silver, which made Lin Huanran's mouth twitch. This meal was really not cheap. It seemed that this drop of green cloud dew was really not suitable for a cow to drink. It was too expensive.
.
"Isn't his money in his arms?" Potian said.
Lin Huanran rolled his eyes. Why do you care so much about twenty or thirty taels of silver? After all, the Wang family and the Zixia family have contributed a lot of silver to themselves.
He took out thirty taels of small-denomination silver notes and handed them to the waiter, and the rest was naturally the waiter's reward. The waiter's face was red, and the rewards Lin Huanran and Ding Xiang gave him today were two or three times more than other guests.
, and his attitude became more and more attentive.
There are no silver ingots of more than 10 taels in Haoyang Kingdom. Even if there are, it is official silver and will not circulate in the market. Therefore, silver notes have become the best currency to replace silver ingots.
"I, I will definitely go back." Ding Xiang, who was on his back, would occasionally utter one or two drunken words while half asleep and half awake. People around looked at him in surprise. Lin Huanran looked embarrassed and walked down quickly.
Stairs, we can't stay here for long, we need to take him back as soon as possible.
But suddenly Ding Xiang's painful voice came from behind, "No way?" Lin Huanran's face changed drastically, and then a huge smell of alcohol hit his nose from behind, and he actually vomited directly.
The Qi on his back blocked the vomit, but it still made people feel sick, like a small waterfall rushing down. Lin Huanran felt that his stomach was twitching, but then a voice under the stairs yelled, "Who is it? How dare you
Vomit on this young master?"
"It's causing trouble." There was a black line on Lin Huanran's face. At this time, people are coming up to eat? It has been a long time since noon, and most people have finished eating and plan to leave.
Soon there was the sound of people going upstairs quickly. It looked like there were quite a lot of people.
"That's you?" There were five or six people in total, all of them were furious. One of them was covered in unsightly filth. It was obvious that he was the one who had been tricked.
Lin Huanran looked apologetic, "I'm really sorry, my friend is drunk. I will be responsible for everyone's food and drink today, and I will also give you your clothes."
"Come with me? Can you afford to pay for it? Do you know how much my clothes are worth?" This man was about the same age as Lin Huanran. Perhaps his voice was hoarse because he was too angry.
Frowning slightly, "I'm really sorry, I will compensate you according to the price."
"You think it's okay to just lose money? You're too naive." Several people around him looked unkind.
"I wonder what my brother is planning to do?"
"Your friend vomited it out, so he should eat it back, right?"
"Isn't this too much? We didn't do it on purpose."
The young master sneered, "Of course I know you didn't mean it, otherwise would I have been so polite to you?"
Sighing secretly, it seemed that these people really had nothing to do. Lin Huanran took out a three hundred tael silver note from his arms. Generally speaking, ordinary animal skin brocade clothes are worth only about a hundred taels, and three hundred taels is enough.
.
"The money here is enough to compensate for your clothes, and it's enough for you to eat today." Putting the banknote in someone's arms, the person subconsciously caught it, and Lin Huanran was about to leave with Ding Xiang on his back.
"Stop, do you know who I am? How dare you use such an attitude?" The young man gritted his teeth.
He turned around lightly, expressionless, "I don't know, and I don't want to know either."
"You." In anger, the young master couldn't bear it any longer and glanced at a few people around him, who immediately gathered around him with ill intentions.
