In the early morning, under the urging of the cockcrow, the sun stretched its arms lazily, smiling and shooting out the first ray of light.
"hurry up."
"Liuzi, are your things ready?"
"Not yet."
"Anan, is the donkey cart here?"
"I'll go out and take a look."
"Go quickly."
"Xiaoyu, have all your people arrived?"
"No---I don't know."
...
At this time, there was a chaos inside Zuixianju, with footsteps and shouts coming and going, making it very lively.
Wu Furong stood in front of the door, shouting and hurriedly directing everyone. This was the first time in his life to hold a barbecue party. He had no experience at all, so he was in such a mess now.
"Why hasn't Mr. Li come yet?"
Wu Furong began to feel a little powerless. He raised his eyes and looked at the street, thinking that if Li Qi were here, he might not be so panicked.
After a while, Li Qi finally appeared on Bianhe Street. He was seen riding the calm donkey alone, followed by Aunt Chen and seven or eight aunts who worked in the Qin Mansion.
This time at the barbecue party, Zuixianju really came out in full force.
"Master Li, you are finally here."
Wu Furong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Qilai, but he didn't see Mrs. Qin, so he asked curiously: "Huh? Isn't Mrs. Qin here?"
When Li Qi heard this, he looked depressed and shook his head and said: "From what I said last night to now, Madam just refuses to come. Forget it, there is a red slave at home with her, so it should be fine."
Wu Furong nodded slightly.
Li Qi glanced into the store and saw the bartenders running around in a disorderly manner. He frowned secretly and asked, "Uncle Wu, how are you preparing?"
Wu Furong sighed and glanced at Li Qi resentfully.
This look made Li Qi tremble, and he understood, and immediately went in to organize everyone. He first asked Xiaoyu to direct the bartenders to help Wu Xiaoliu and the others load the food needed for the barbecue later into the car, and then asked Aunt Chen to direct the rest of the party.
The uncles and aunties who got off the bus went to load the tools that would be used later into the car, and asked Chen Anan to watch at the door. Don't let others fish in troubled waters.
After this division of labor, the originally chaotic scene suddenly became more orderly.
When preparations were almost complete, the regular patrons who had been invited arrived one after another.
In fact, these regular patrons are basically gold members. Of course, there are quite a few people who did not come.
This was something Li Qi expected.
At this moment, a carriage suddenly stopped in front of Zuixianju, and soon, Bai Qiannuo and Xing'er got out of the carriage.
"Uncle Wu. Brother Li."
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "Qiniang, you are here."
Bai Qiannuo nodded and said, "Brother Li, do you need my help?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "Yes, just eat more later."
Bai Qiannuo felt very sweet after hearing this. She looked around and said, "Isn't Sister Wang here?"
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said, "You still don't know your sister Wang. With so many people showing off, can she come?"
After hearing this, Bai Qiannuo understood immediately. He rolled his eyes at Li Qi and feigned anger: "I don't allow you to say that to Sister Wang. She doesn't want to come, so she has her reasons."
"Okay, okay, I won't say."
Li Qi chuckled and said, "As long as you come."
Bai Qiannuo's face turned red, and she glanced at Xing'er and Wu Furong anxiously. Seeing that there was no difference between them, she felt relieved. She raised her mouth and gave Li Qi a sidelong glance.
Li Qi smiled and thought to himself, actually being sneaky is quite interesting.
Suddenly I heard the sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance. I turned around and saw four or five talented men in gorgeous clothes riding towards us from a distance. The leader was Song Yuchen, wearing brocade clothes and a jade belt, and a white horse under his crotch.
Ma, who was extremely handsome, was chatting animatedly with the fat man in blue robe on his left. Li Qi knew this fat man, it was Zou Zijian.
Seeing Song Yuchen's arrogant appearance, Li Qi felt quite disdainful. The person riding the white horse may not necessarily be a talented person, but may also be a loser.
"Qian Nuo."
When Song Yuchen saw Bai Qiannuo also there, he was immediately elated, jumped off his horse in a hurry, and shouted with a diligent look on his face.
Bai Qiannuo quickly glanced at Li Qi beside him and saw that there was nothing strange on his face, and then saluted Song Yuchen.
As everyone knows, in Li Qi's mind, how can an idiot like Song Yuchen, who picks up girls, be called a love rival? At best, he is just a useless embroidered pillow.
"Master Song."
Li Qi cupped his hands towards Song Yuchen, then cupped his hands towards Zou Zijian and said with a smile, "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing lately?"
When Bai Qiannuo heard this title, he almost laughed out loud.
A flash of resentment flashed in Zou Zijian's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Master Li, you are fine."
Song Yuchen also nodded and said hello: "Master Li, shopkeeper Wu."
At this moment, a cry suddenly came from the left, "Brother Li, Xiao Jiu is here too,"
Everyone hurriedly turned around and saw Hong Tianjiu and Gao Yanei riding a black horse and a white horse respectively, rushing towards this side, followed by Zhou Hua and Xu Fei, chasing each other as if they were chasing each other.
race.
Pedestrians on the road dodged left and right one after another, and they were in a panic for a while.
What Li Qi saw was frightening. This was a serious case of speeding.
In the blink of an eye, Hong Tianjiu came to Li Qi, tightened the reins, jumped off the horse with a very handsome gesture, strode to Li Qi, patted his chest and said proudly: "Brother Li, look at Xiao Jiu.
How is your riding skills?"
Damn it! I’ve never even ridden a horse, why are you asking me?
Li Qi broke into a cold sweat and said: "Very good, very good."
Gao Yanei arrived shortly afterwards, but did not dismount, and said to Wu Furong with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Shopkeeper Wu, why did you only invite Xiao Jiu to the barbecue party yesterday, but not me? Do you think you are looking down on me?"
As soon as Gao Yanei arrived, he launched an army to investigate the crime. The lively scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at each other in shock.
It turned out that when Wu Furong asked someone to send an invitation letter to Hong Tianjiu yesterday, Gao Yanei happened to be there. Seeing that the bartender at Zui Xianju only invited Hong Tianjiu but didn't say a word to him, he immediately became furious and had to come.
It’s impossible to ask for clarification.
Wu Furong opened his mouth slightly and looked at Gao Yanei blankly. He didn't know how to explain it. Yesterday, he just distributed invitations according to the list of gold members. How could he remember Gao Yanei?
When Li Qi saw it, he stood up and said: "Yameni, please calm down. In fact, this barbecue party is just a temporary decision of my wife, so I may not be able to take care of it at the moment. Uncle Wu asked someone to send invitations, and he also followed the golden rules.
I sent out the list of members, maybe because I was in a hurry, I omitted you in the yamen, I’m really sorry.”
Wu Furong listened and nodded hurriedly in agreement.
Hong Tianjiu suddenly let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "I understand. It turns out that it's because my brother is not a gold member of Zuixianju. So why is Shopkeeper Wu wrong?" He said to Gao Yanei: "
Brother, it seems that Zuixianju has not prepared anything for you, I think you should go back to Fanlou to find Feng Xingshou."
Sweat! This Xiaojiu is really a master who is afraid of chaos in the world.
Li Qi shook his head gently, feeling dumbfounded in his heart. Didn't you deliberately cause trouble for me?
Gao Yanei blushed and said disdainfully: "Isn't it just a gold member? What's so great about it, come here." As he said that, he stretched his hand to the side.
But after a while, no one came over.
When everyone saw it, they were confused about the situation. They didn't know who Gao Yanei was calling.
Hong Tianjiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Brother, Lu Qian and the others are still behind."
This Lu Qian, Li Qi also knew, was an idle guy next to Gao Yanei. They must have been riding too fast, and the idle guys hadn't caught up yet.
Embarrassing. So embarrassing.
Gao Yanei's fair complexion suddenly turned red like a monkey's butt.
The talented people on the side, headed by Song Yuchen, also reacted and burst into laughter.
Gao Yanei glared sideways and shouted angrily: "Why are you laughing?"
"It's so funny."
Song Yuchen opened his paper fan and said disdainfully: "If we laugh at us, what does it have to do with the office?" Then he turned to Zou Zijian and asked: "Zijian, do you know that there is one law in the Song Dynasty that prohibits people from laughing?
."
How could Zou Zijian not understand Song Yuchen's meaning? He pretended to be thoughtful. After a while, he said: "Zijian has little talent and little knowledge. He doesn't remember whether there is a law like this."
"Fat Zou, since you know that you have little talent and little knowledge, why don't you blush at all when others call you a genius? If I were you, I would be angry with anyone who calls me a genius." Hong Tianjiu Station
He came out to help. He and Gao Yanei broke up with each other. This happened from time to time, but when the critical moment came, they still agreed to speak out.
Gao Yanei turned from anger to joy and said to Hong Tianjiu: "Xiao Jiu, if you compare this fat man with us, isn't this an insult to us? Look at him with such a rough skin and thick flesh. He is blushing? I see him.
Eighty percent of the time it won’t work.”
"It's the best, it's the best."
Hong Tianjiu smiled and said: "It's okay not to mention a fat guy like this, lest he loses his status as an elder brother."
There was Fatty Zou on the left and Fatty Fatty on the right. Zou Zijian's face turned green and white at first, and he gritted his teeth and glared at Hong Tianjiu. He pointed his hand and said, "Who are you calling Fatty?"
"Who am I scolding?"
Hong Tianjiu shook his head and sighed: "Oh, you really have little talent and little learning, oh no, you should be more talented and less educated. Fatty, isn't it the fatty you are scolding? I don't even understand what you are saying, ugh."
His expression was very worried.
What he said made even Bai Qiannuo couldn't help laughing. He stood next to Li Qi and whispered: "Brother Li, if you don't stop me, I'm afraid they will start fighting."
Li Qi was enjoying watching it so much that he didn't want to stop it. He whispered back: "Anyway, everything is not ready yet and everyone is quite bored. Let's watch it for a while."
Bai Qiannuo rolled her eyes at him with a smile and said: "You are a person who just loves to watch the fun. No wonder Xiaojiu likes to stay with you. One loves to join in the fun and the other loves to watch the fun. It's a perfect match."
Li Qi shook his head and denied, "Don't insult me, okay? You and I are a perfect match."
This person really dared to say anything. Bai Qiannuo's face turned red with embarrassment and she didn't dare to answer any more words.
Seeing that Zou Zijian was at a disadvantage, Song Yuchen hurriedly stood up and said: "Zijian, the so-called gentleman is magnanimous and the villain has a relationship, we don't need to argue with them."
Hong Tianjiu laughed and said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Song is absolutely right. We don't need to argue with this hypocritical fat man."
Song Yuchen glared and said angrily: "Hong Tianjiu, don't push yourself too far."
"Oh, Mr. Song is so majestic."
Gao Yanei sneered and said disdainfully: "Don't think that because your father has been promoted recently, he can be arrogant. I really don't take you seriously."
At this moment, Lu Qian and a group of idlers had arrived, about five or six of them, panting and sweating like rain.
"Yamen ---Yamenei."
Lu Qian gasped, bowed and shouted.
Gao Yanei said angrily: "Why did you guys come just now?"
"me---."
"Cut the nonsense."
Gao Yanei glared at them, and then said to Lu Qian: "Go to shopkeeper Wu and get me a gold membership card."
"Yes, Yanei."
Lu Qian responded, then took the money and went to Wu Furong to apply for a membership card.
"Brother Li, everything is ready. When will we set off?" Xiaoyu suddenly walked up to Li Qi and whispered.
Li Qi nodded slightly, then stepped forward, cupped his hands to everyone and said, "Everyone, please calm down first. Today's fault is all the fault of the store. Please don't hurt your friendship over a trivial matter. I will apologize to you on behalf of the store."
Hong Tianjiu said: "Brother Li, what are you talking about? How can I ask you to apologize?"
Li Qi smiled and then said to everyone: "Are you ready? If you are, let's set off."
Hong Tianjiu was very interested in this barbecue party, so he didn't care about Song Yuchen and the others. He nodded quickly and said: "It's been prepared for a long time. Let's go quickly." He twisted his buttocks and got on the horse.
Dark horse.
Song Yuchen and the others also mounted their horses, raised the whips in their hands, and sneered at Hong Tianjiu: "Xiaojiu, are you interested in a competition?"
Hong Tianjiu smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
Gao Yanei said in anger: "Since we are competing, there must be some luck. I think it will be fifty guans. What do you think? Do you dare to compete?"
Song Yuchen cupped his fists and said, "I'll stay with you until the end."
Li Qi looked at it for a long time and saw some clues. He asked curiously: "You don't want to compete here, do you?"
"Why not?"
Song Yuchen raised the corner of his mouth and said to Hong Tianjiu: "Let's use the Suzaku Gate as the boundary. Whoever gets there first will win."
"Whatever." Hong Tianjiu shrugged.
After hearing this, Li Qi said with a depressed look on his face: "Well--there are so many pedestrians on the road. Isn't it too dangerous for you to race here?"
Hong Tianjiu waved his hand and said, "Brother Li, don't worry, I'll be fine."
Sweating! Of course I know you will be fine.
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Then it won't be good if you bump into someone else."
"What are you talking about? Those people don't have eyes or something. If they see the horse coming, they won't hide." Gao Yanei said with an unhappy look on his face. He was most annoyed by Li Qi's verbosity.
Yes. Just pretend I didn’t say that. I’m walking behind you anyway.
Li Qi nodded helplessly, and then told them the specific location of the barbecue.
"Qiannuo, I'm going to go ahead. We'll see you later." Before Song Yuchen left, he didn't forget to give Bai Qiannuo an electric eye.
Bai Qiannuo smiled faintly and nodded slightly, but his eyes were full of helplessness.
Hong Tianjiu and Gao Yameni took two steps forward on horseback. Over there, Song Yuchen and Zou Zijian also came forward and stood side by side with them.
When Lu Qian shouted, four horses ran out at the same time.
Zhou Hua, Xu Fei and several other talented men also rode after him.
This is indeed a dangerous morning.
Li Qi let out a long sigh, mounted the calm donkey, waved his hand and said: "Let's go." (To be continued)
