Changjing is the most lively Changjing at night. Autumn is known in every leaf and bustling in every restaurant.
It was just dark at this time, and the restaurant was crowded with guests, all wearing gorgeous clothes and jade belts. Chen Mo was also arranged by the Wu Mansion, and they were all new clothes, and they were dressed as human models and dogs.
That's right, no, the appearance is dignified, and the aura of a martial artist is somewhat concealed. Of course, he doesn't look like a scholar. You don't need to try it on to know that Chen Mo is not suitable for that kind of clothes.
"Bo'er~" With a sound, Wukou opened the lid of the wine jar on the table and said, "I want to try what this most expensive wine feels like."
The clear and refreshing wine like spring water was poured from the wine jar into the wine bowl. The wine circled in the bowl and swirled higher and higher. When it was about to overflow, the falling wine stopped and only what was left in the bowl was still there.
Wandering.
There are several kinds of containers for drinking, and there are also several ways to drink. In this restaurant, there are two kinds of containers, one is a cup and the other is a bowl, there are two sizes.
Wu Kou and the others chose bowls. The cups were a little too stingy for the two of them, and it was troublesome to pour wine. Of course, if there was a waitress at this time, this would not be a problem.
"Stop listening, try it. This is the wine you ordered. You have to drink it with tears in your eyes." Wu Kou gently pushed the bowl filled with wine to Chen Mo.
"With tears in your eyes? Does this wine make you feel distressed?" Chen Mo took the wine bowl, picked up the wine bowl, and walked around in front of him. The aroma of the wine spread freely and floated into Chen Mo's nostrils.
"It's nothing, how could it happen, just don't let my sister know about it." Wu Kou used Wu Ling'er as a shield.
There was a "pop" sound, and the old man on the stage downstairs slapped the table with his wake wood, and then he heard: "Please listen to the next chapter to explain the future events."
The restaurant was not only silent for a while, but also heard cheers or regrets from the audience. The old man looked calm and continued: "The chapter on Jianghu will come later. If you are interested, you might as well order more while I am resting."
Jar of wine, wait a moment."
After saying that, the old man walked towards the audience with steady steps. After the old man left the stage, the women played other famous songs, waiting for the next story-telling performance.
After eating a bowl, it doesn't feel hot, but has a cold feeling.
"Wine warms the body, but why does this wine make me feel cold? This thing has become the most expensive wine in Zuixianlou?" Wu Kou failed to finish the next bowl, but only drank half of the bowl, and then looked
With half a bowl of wine left, he frowned and said.
The wine is not bad, and according to Wukou's evaluation, it is not a very good wine. At least the wine is quite fragrant. Is it the cold feeling that makes the wine more expensive, and the selling is just a contrast?
"Well, the taste of money." Chen Mo put down the wine bowl, said a little playfully, and began to eat the food in this restaurant. It looked quite exquisite and very appetizing.
The sound of beautiful music is still floating in the restaurant, and the waiters and waitresses are also busy shuttling in the corridors. The people who can come here are either rich or noble. Of course, some of them appear here in front of others. Although they are also here.
I have lived in Changjing for a long time, but like Chen Mo, this was the first time I came to this "wine pool and meat forest".
"Hey, Wu Kou."
When Wukou and Wu Kou were "pointing" at the most expensive wine in Zuixianlou, a voice came into their ears. This sound made Wukou feel like he was electrocuted. He trembled and then covered his head.
He turned his head half-cheeked, as if he hadn't heard.
Chen Mo looked for the voice and saw that she was a woman with a well-proportioned figure. She was a little different from other women in the restaurant. Her dress was more masculine.
Chen Mo watched her say something to the two men next to her, and then walked towards Chen Mo. The steps she took were not like a woman's lotus, but more of a kind of heroism.
When he walked to where Chen Mo was, he didn't look at Chen Mo at all. Instead, he looked at the warrior who turned his head away, thinking that others couldn't see him. He raised his hands to his chest and said, "Why, am I a monster or something?
You have to avoid me."
Wu Kou looked back, looking at the woman who was smiling but not smiling, with a surprised face, and said: "Ah, Cheng Zhuzhu, what a coincidence, how come I meet you here, it is really a fate."
Chen Mo couldn't stand it anymore and kept eating his own food.
"Have you eaten? If not, there is a seat here." Wukou pointed to the stool on the side and said with a smile.
Cheng Zhuzhu let out a "hum" and sat down directly in that position without delay. At this time, only he knew the mood of the warrior.
"Drinker, please add more pairs of bowls and chopsticks."
Although there are no full-time bartenders to serve you, as long as you need it, just call and someone will respond. This is the difference between a real big restaurant and an ordinary restaurant. It is expensive for a reason.
"Okay." A passing wine girl responded. "Do you need to add anything else?"
Wu Kou glanced at Cheng Zhuzhu and said, "No need for the time being."
After the wine girl left, Wu Kou said: "Why are you keeping a straight face? How have I offended you? I really didn't see it just now. I was listening to the old man's story, and I was fascinated."
Wu Kou said shamelessly, but he didn't expect Chen Mo to make up for it with a stab.
"The storyteller hasn't come on stage yet."
"Ah, Chen Mo, I don't usually see you talk so much." Wu Kou glared at him, and then introduced to Cheng Zhuzhu: "Zhuzhu, let me introduce to you, my elder brother, Chen Mo, is a super fierce fighter."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Mo and said: "This second lady of the Cheng family, Cheng Zhuzhu, is my good friend. You can see from her dress that she is not the kind of woman who can't help but be frail."
Then he whispered: "She beat me terribly when I was a child."
"Meet Miss Cheng." Chen Mo said politely.
"I've met Mr. Chen." Cheng Zhuzhu also calmed down her domineering momentum a little and said a little more tactfully. Then because of Wu Kou's words, she watched him finish cutting more.
She knew that Wukou would not call others eldest brother casually. After all, due to his status, there was only one person he could call brother before, Di Yu from the Di family, and now there is another one.
She also didn't believe that just by saying "the fight is super fierce", the warrior called him brother. When she was a child, she beat him to a pig's head and never saw him call her sister.
"You've been back for so long and you still don't want to have a meal with me? Have we already been divided to this point?" Cheng Zhuzhu said, looking at Wukou.
"Look what you said, am I busy? You have to know that I am the head of the Wu Mansion now and have a lot of things to take care of." Wu Kou said helplessly. "I originally planned to wait until I have been busy for a while.
I’m just going to visit my uncle.”
"I'm busy, so why do I have time to come here to drink?" Cheng Zhuzhu squinted at him, not believing his lies at all.
"This is why I came here. If you don't believe me, ask my elder brother." From the beginning, Wu Kou called one elder brother after another, calling Chen Mo, just waiting for him to save him.
Chen Mo never admitted that he was a warm-hearted person, so he said calmly: "Really? Didn't you say that you were so busy that you came out to drink to relieve your boredom?"
"Chen Mo, you..."
"Mr. Chen is indeed refreshing. I, Cheng Zhuzhu, admire people who are frank." After saying that, Cheng Zhuzhu picked up the wine jar and added wine to the wine bowl she just got. Holding the bowl in both hands, she said to Chen Mo: "Mr. Chen, I'd like to give you a bowl.
"
Chen Mo also took a bowl and threw it away from Cheng Zhuzhu's bowl, and they both drank up the wine at the same time.
"Ha~, what? Wukou, why did you order this wine? It's expensive and tastes bad. Do you like to be taken advantage of so much? No, I have to report it to the princess." Cheng Zhuzhu was obviously not satisfied with the wine.
"Okay, okay, please don't cause trouble here." Wu Kou no longer wanted to explain. Anyway, whatever he said now was his own fault.
"Why are you here?" Wu Kou stopped pretending. He felt more relaxed without pretending. He regretted that he should not have talked to Chen Mo in the first place.
"I came here with my brother and the others." Cheng Zhuzhu replied.
The two of them were chatting, but Chen Mo couldn't get in. At this time, the old storyteller came back and returned to his table in a leisurely manner. He didn't even need to slap the log, so the noise in the restaurant became a little quieter.
It seems that many people are still waiting for him to tell stories.
What storytellers say are exaggerated, and some are even false. For example, when Yan Yu told Chen Mo the story she heard from a blind old man in an alley, she knew it was a bit outrageous.
Therefore, Chen Mo usually doesn't believe what these people say, and just enjoys it. But when he came, Wu Kou told him that what the old man said was not false, and nine times out of ten it was true.
To be honest, Wu Kou also wondered where he got such accurate information.
As the saying goes, snakes have their own ways, and rats have their own ways. This is why this old man can tell stories in this big restaurant and is so popular.
"Pa" thought again, the old man moistened his throat and said: "There are talented people from generation to generation, and there are also golden carps in the world."
"Yesterday, we mentioned that the new emperor will ascend the throne, and ten stars will bloom in the night sky to help the new emperor..."
"Do you know what he means by the ten stars?" Cheng Zhuzhu said at this time. Before Wu Kou could speak, she continued: "The ten stars are the new talents emerging in the court today, including you and Di
Mr. Di Di."
"Why are you using all these fancy names? Aren't they making enemies for me? No, let's find an opportunity to teach this old man a lesson." Wukou curled his lips and said.
"Do you know what His Majesty's reaction was?" Cheng Zhuzhu asked without asking him to answer, so she continued: "My father came out of the palace last night and said, Your Majesty is very happy."
"Your Majesty knows what the old man said yesterday. It seems that there are people of His Majesty here." The warrior looked around. Of course, he didn't think there was anything wrong before. Now that he is a person, the warrior suspects that it was arranged by your Majesty.
People are staring at the old man here to see if he has said anything about "the crime of deceiving the emperor".
