The word arrogance is never a good word, but when it comes from Zhu Zan's mouth, it seems to be a very honorable thing.
The young man sitting next to him also slapped the table.
"That's right, we are still sitting in the seats," he said.
When they were talking, the people on the second floor had already left the room. I don’t know what they said. Not only were they not angry, but they nodded and bowed to the three people like the store clerk.
"He seems to be a big shot." A young man said with raised eyebrows.
"There is such a big shot in the capital and we don't recognize him?" Zhang Baotang also said.
Sifeng watched a few shop assistants walking downstairs and simply raised her hand.
"Come on," he shouted.
The shop assistants naturally recognized these people and did not dare to rush forward.
"Fourth Master, what are your orders?" he asked with a smile.
"Who is that kid?" Sifeng asked, pointing to the second floor.
The shop assistant looked a little complicated.
"Yes, yes..." He hesitated and seemed afraid to say.
Zhang Baotang raised his foot and gave it to him.
"If you have something to say, drop it quickly," he cursed.
He couldn't afford to offend these people, so the shop assistant covered his butt with a grimace.
"It's Jiang Peng, the gatekeeper of the West City Gate." he said.
As soon as this statement came out, the young people at the table burst into laughter.
"Porter?"
"I'll go."
"When did this capital become like this?"
Everyone was laughing and making noise, and the shop clerk looked embarrassed and a little uneasy when he was laughed at.
"Who does this kid rely on?" Zhu Zan, who had been silent for the whole time, asked.
The store clerk looked even weirder and hesitated again.
"Don't you dare say?" Zhu Zan raised his eyebrows, "It seems you are acquaintances with us?"
The young people present were startled, and the store clerk's expression also changed slightly.
It turns out that the store clerk was hesitating, not so much because he was afraid of the other party, but because he didn't want them to know who the other party was.
Why are the store clerks afraid? It must be because they are afraid that they will conflict if they find out.
The young people suddenly became even more annoyed when they figured it out.
"Say it the hell." Sifeng even slapped the table.
"It's Mr. Lu Qianhu." The shop clerk had no choice but to tell the truth.
The young people immediately raised their eyebrows.
"So it's him," they said.
"That's not right. Mr. Lu Qianhu's eyes are as high as the sky. How can a small doorman rely on him?" Sifeng said.
"Fourth Master, you don't know." The store clerk lowered his voice, "Of course he can't rely on Mr. Lu, but he is lucky."
He said and winked.
"He bought a new concubine and Master Lu took a fancy to her."
Sifeng was drinking wine when he heard the words and spat on the ground.
"That's so fucking disgusting, are you kidding me?" he said.
The other young people also looked surprised.
"It's absolutely true. Lu Qianhu passed through the city gate that day and fell in love with the concubine who came to deliver food to the doorman. The doorman sent her there that night," the shop assistant said, although he was very scared, but
This kind of thing is really what people like to talk about.
The young people looked at each other.
"Like wives?" Sifeng said.
"That's not necessarily true. Wasn't there a tea girl before?" Another young man said.
Sifeng clicked his tongue twice.
"How arrogant and extravagant." He sighed, "I didn't expect that a child like Lu Qianhu, who came from a poor background, would become as corrupt as the rest of us."
Is this a compliment or a scold? The store clerk was stunned when he heard this.
"This is not okay." Zhu Zan stood up and said sadly, "How could such a good boy, a person working for His Majesty, be implicated by the people below?"
clean?
Who is innocent?
The store clerk was even more confused when he heard this, but when he saw several other young people standing up, rolling up their sleeves and clenching their fists, he knew what they were going to do.
I knew that if Prince Cheng Guo and Lu Qianhu met, there would definitely be trouble.
Anyway, I can't afford to offend either of you two, so the shop assistant shrank his head and ran away.
Soon there was a noise in the restaurant, and then many people ran out of the restaurant.
"There's a fight!"
People on the street suddenly rushed over. Before they could get in to take a closer look, they saw three people being thrown out of the restaurant. All their clothes were stripped off, except for a pair of shorts.
The people watching suddenly burst into laughter.
"Isn't this a Jiang official?"
Someone else recognized him and shouted.
As soon as these words came out, the man who was supposed to protect himself quickly covered his face with his hands and ran away amidst the laughter.
The excitement spread on the street in an instant, and when night fell, it reached an inner house.
The interior was magnificently decorated, with a round table set up and two people sitting across from each other to eat.
A young man wearing a homely green robe was none other than Lu Yunqi, and a brightly dressed woman in her twenties was naturally his new favorite.
Lu Yunqi's expression was not as dull as outside. Perhaps because of the lamp, his eyebrows seemed much softer. He stretched out his hand and gave a chopstick to the woman sitting opposite him.
"Try this," he said.
The woman sitting opposite looked very uneasy, as if she was happy but also a little afraid.
"Yes, thank you sir," she said.
"Call me Lu Yunqi." Lu Yunqi said, taking back his chopsticks.
There were only a few people who dared to call Lu Qianhu's name to his face. The woman's body was trembling slightly.
"Lu, Lu Yunqi." She shivered for a long time before shouting out tremblingly.
Lu Yunqi looked at her and smiled.
"Hey." He responded.
The woman opened her mouth slightly and looked at the smiling man opposite her. The smile spread across her porcelain-white face, lighting up the whole room.
God, who can see Lu Yunqi and Lu Qianhu's smile, such a smile.
There was a gentle knocking outside the door.
The woman saw that the smile on Lu Yunqi's face faded like a tide, and in an instant it returned to its previous dullness, and a cold gaze passed over her.
The woman's heartbeat stopped and she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look directly at him.
I heard someone walking in.
"Sir, Jiang Peng is here," the visitor said.
When she heard the name Jiang Peng, the woman's heart beat a few more times, and her face looked a little uneasy.
"What does he want?" Lu Yunqi asked, eating his meal slowly.
"He didn't say anything, he just said he wanted to see you," the visitor said.
Lu Yunqi picked up the brocade handkerchief beside him, wiped the corners of his mouth, and threw the brocade handkerchief to the ground.
"I don't want to see him anymore," he said.
The visitor responded without saying a word and turned around to go out. The woman sat in front of the table and clenched her hands tightly. The corner of her eye fell on the brocade handkerchief on the ground.
What do you mean if you don't want to see him? Is it just like this brocade handkerchief that was thrown away?
"What? Can't bear to leave?" Lu Yunqi's mellow voice sounded in his ears.
Such a pleasant sound made the woman tremble and stand up in fear.
"No, no, no, sir." she said repeatedly.
"Call me Lu Yunqi." Lu Yunqi looked at her and said.
The woman bit her lower lip.
"Lu Yunqi." She said in a trembling voice.
A smile appeared on Lu Yunqi's face again.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay, sit down quickly," he said.
The woman sat down in fear and watched Lu Yunqi pick up the chopsticks.
"Lu Yunqi." She boldly shouted.
Lu Yunqi raised his head and looked at her, with an even more joyful expression on his face.
"Huh? What's the matter? You tell me," he said.
Oh, my mother, who would have thought that King Lu Yan would talk to people like this, the woman said again in her heart, and the person who enjoys this attitude now is herself.
It's me.
I originally thought that I would be able to fly to the branches just because I was a child for that doorman, but I didn’t expect that due to the fate, I would reach the sky in one step.
The woman took a few deep breaths.
"I, I have no other interest in that Jiang Peng." She said boldly, "Don't be angry, he and I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Yunqi smiled.
"I know." He said, interrupting the woman's words, and at the same time gave her another chopstick of food, "Eat it quickly."
The woman's breathing was rapid, her eyes were bright, and she felt breathless with joy.
"Yes, yes." She could only say repeatedly, holding chopsticks and eating the food hurriedly.
Lu Yunqi looked at her with a smile, but under the lamp, his smile looked more and more sad.
…………………………………….
In a wine shop on the night market, Zhu Zan and others were sitting around drinking. Someone came quickly and whispered a few words to Zhang Baotang.
"Lu Qianhu threw Jiang Peng out of the capital." Zhang Baotang said.
Sifeng laughed.
"That's right, that's right." He looked at everyone, "Master Lu can do a lot to improve things if he knows his mistakes, and he will be a good official in the future."
Everyone laughed.
Only Zhu Zan touched his chin and looked unhappy.
"Still unhappy." He said.
Everyone's laughter stopped.
"How about we go beat this guy up again?" Sifeng said suddenly.
This kid naturally refers to Lu Qianhu.
The old man selling alcohol nearby tried his best to move out, as if hearing these words could get him into trouble.
It's a shame they dared to think about beating up Lu Qianhu.
"It's not impossible to beat him, but this kid is as timid as a mouse. He either doesn't go out or is protected by a large group of people when he goes out." Zhang Baotang said seriously, "Opportunities are hard to find."
Sifeng sighed.
"Yeah." He took a sip of wine, "I really miss that time, when I said I would beat him, I would beat him."
Everyone laughed, but Zhu Zan was still the only one who did not laugh.
"Second brother, don't you miss me?" Sifeng asked.
Zhu Zan took a drink from the wine bottle, looked at him and smiled.
"I think about it," he said, "I really want to beat him again, like before."
After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp and looked towards the river. The smile on his face disappeared, and his expression flickered brightly and darkly under the light of the river lantern.
