Chapter 2709: Being unreasonable
Hundreds of people blocked this long street. They were anxious to pass. At first, they pushed forward hard, cursing and dissatisfied. But when they pushed to the front, they saw hundreds of soldiers on the street wearing helmets and shaking armor. He was fully armed with a ferocious aura, and his legs suddenly became weak. He closed his mouth tightly, not daring to say a word.
Dark clouds were weighing down on the top of the head like plummets. More and more people and merchants gathered, but strangely no sound was made. Only the iron hooves of hundreds of war horses scratched the bluestone on the ground from time to time, making a "dah" sound, and An occasional sneeze or two...
The shopkeeper of Wangjiang Tower felt like there was a stone stuck in his heart. Although he was a shopkeeper, he had a high seniority in the family. Otherwise, he would not be in charge of such an industry that makes money every day.
The foundation of the Wuxing and Shen family is not in Suzhou City, but in Wucheng County on the south bank of Taihu Lake, which was called Wuxing County in ancient times. However, as one of the richest families among the Jiangnan gentry, the influence of the Wuxing and Shen family in Suzhou is not as great as that of Chen Xie, Wang Xiao and others. Individual overseas Chinese have poor surnames.
Money can make people go around, not to mention that the Shen family in Wuxing has a long and deep-rooted history, and there are many disciples and old officials...
Normally, he, the shopkeeper of Wangjiang Tower, could be considered a prominent figure in Suzhou East City. How had he ever encountered such a tyrannical person who whipped someone with a horse whip?
Seeing how arrogant this guy was in his brocade robes, he was able to lead hundreds of soldiers and ride down the street to stir up trouble. Coupled with his Guanzhong accent, he didn't dare to vent his anger no matter how much he had.
Holding back his anger, the shopkeeper covered his shoulders and smiled along with him: "Yes, yes, you have taught me the right lesson. This little old man is so dim-sighted that he neglected our distinguished guests. He really deserves to die. Why don't the few distinguished guests please move into the store and let me How about I prepare some of my specialty wine and food as an apology?”
Fang Jun played with the riding crop, laughed, turned around and said to Li Tai: "This old guy is very knowledgeable and understands that a local snake cannot suppress a dragon crossing the river. Since he can bend and stretch, wouldn't it be rude if we don't give him face?" Then he entered the store. Sit down and see if his Wangjiang Tower is worthy of its name.”
Li Tai finally saw Fang Jun's arrogance. He nodded and said, "You can make the decision."
Fang Jun threw the riding whip in his hand to the soldiers on the side, clapped his hands and said, "Then let's go in and take a look. We have nothing to do, so we might as well try the famous Jiangnan dishes."
Carrying hands behind their backs, they walked into the store first. Li Tai and Du He looked at each other and followed closely.
Xi Jun did not dare to neglect buying a military uniform. He took a few soldiers with the guards brought by Li Tai and followed him into the store. The rest of the soldiers were arranged in Wangjiang Tower under the leadership of their respective brigade leaders. Left and right, goose wing row Open, one by one, they are sitting high on their horses, with their hands on the horizontal swords, their sharp eyes are constantly scanning the surroundings, with murderous intent. It seems that if they find any abnormality, they will draw their swords from their sheaths, mount the horses, and kill the suspicious people on the spot. .
Have the common people ever seen such a formation? They were so frightened that they all moved away and hurried away around the other side of the street to avoid getting into trouble.
Of course, there are also many good-hearted people who are still standing in the distance, pointing with interest.
Since ancient times, watching and having fun has been a glorious tradition, and taking pleasure in misfortunes has been a perfect custom...
The shopkeeper of Wangjianglou followed closely behind. When he arrived at the entrance of the store, he grabbed a boy next to him and whispered a few words. The boy nodded repeatedly, then turned around and ran away.
Just as he was about to enter the store, a waiter came forward cautiously and whispered: "Shopkeeper, this person... I think I know him."
The shopkeeper paused, glanced at Fang Jun and others who had already entered the hall, quickly grabbed the waiter, and asked quickly: "Who is this?"
The biggest headache for him now is not knowing the identities of these people. The Wu Xing Shen family is a wealthy family in Jiangdong. Even the nobles in Guanzhong cannot be offended. But there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Guanzhong. What if he really offends people who dare not offend? Is it bringing trouble to the family?
Therefore, without knowing the identity of Fang Jun and others, he was deeply afraid and did not dare to make an easy decision whether to bow his head and admit defeat or to fight back...
The waiter hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I used to work as a porter at the pier of Huating Town. I saw Huating Hou Fangjun from a distance. I just took a look and thought he looked very similar..."< br>
The shopkeeper's eyes widened and he took a deep breath.
Fang Jun? !
He has much more knowledge than the clerk. The clerk still thinks that Fang Jun's title is still Marquis of Huating, but the shopkeeper knows that he has now been promoted to Duke of Yue, and is the top person in the entire Tang Empire besides the royal family!
The most critical issue is not the level of the title, but the mention of the name Fang Jun, I am afraid that the entire Jiangdong will tremble...
The most terrible thing is that there are rumors that Fang Jun is accompanying His Royal Highness King Wei to the south this time. If that arrogant and domineering black-faced boy is really Fang Jun, then the fair-faced and slightly fat nobleman behind him... wouldn't it? He is the biological son of His Majesty today...
……
"Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure. After all, I've only seen it from afar..."
The shopkeeper's heart was churning, and he would rather believe it or not. He waved the waiter away, took a deep breath, calmed down, and walked into the store.
Fang Jun and the others were already sitting at a table in the middle of the lobby. The shopkeeper walked up to him and asked with a smile, "I'm asking you to prepare special meals. Are there any taboos?"
While he was talking, his eyes were secretly looking back and forth.
For a person as prestigious as Fang Jun, it was inevitable that there would be rumors about his appearance. After a few sneak peeks, I felt that they seemed to be almost the same. I have never heard of the description of King Li Tai of Wei, but the other two people sitting there, Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi, had a calm demeanor. At first glance, they looked like noble and extraordinary people, and their hearts sank deeper and deeper.
Looking at this dark-faced boy, there is no doubt that he is Fang Jun...
Before Fang Jun could say anything, the sharp-faced young man on the side had already impatiently patted the table and shouted: "You're so verbose. Just bring the good wine and food. I'm afraid I can't afford the wine and I'll have to rely on you." Can’t settle the account?”
The shopkeeper was startled and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'll wait a moment. I'll make arrangements now."
He hurriedly walked to the back hall.
But I was thinking in my heart, this sharp-faced boy looks very impressive, but his tone is similar to that of those water bandits on Taihu Lake?
Is this the virtue of the noble people in Guanzhong?
It shouldn’t be...
He ordered the chef to prepare for the banquet. Regardless of whether this group of people was Fang Jun or the King of Wei, they were people who could not be provoked easily and could not be confused at all.
Over there, Fang Jun had already stood up, pacing around in the lobby with his hands behind his back, looking around. He came to the east window and looked out from the window. After looking for a while, he turned back and waved to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward, bent down and asked, "What are your orders, noble man?"
Fang Jun returned to the table and sat down, and said casually: "Your Wangjiang Tower is really good, with good feng shui and good terrain. I was very happy when I saw it. Make a price, and I bought it."
< br>
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent for an instant.
Even Wei Wang Li Tai and Du He stared at Fang Jun. Although we are here to cause trouble, it is not appropriate to buy someone else's restaurant without saying a word, right?
The shopkeeper's eyes twitched.
What do you mean by buying it if you like it?
No matter how arrogant a person is, he will never behave like this!
Bending down, the shopkeeper said: "It is really an honor for this small shop to be favored by a distinguished person... But I am just a shopkeeper, and I will never be able to sell the restaurant to you... Oops!"
A teacup was thrown at him, hitting him on the forehead with a "snap". The fragments were scattered on the ground, and blood gushed out instantly. He screamed in pain, stretched out his hand to cover the wound, and looked at Fang Jun in shock and anger. .
Fang Jun scolded: "You don't know how high the sky is! Since you know you can't make the decision, why are you making so much noise in front of someone? You deserve a beating! If you don't quickly find someone who can make the decision, is it possible that you are stuck here? A certain horizontal sword can’t see blood or kill people?”
The shopkeeper didn't dare to say a word, covered his head and ran towards the door.
He finally understood that he was not unjust at all with the whip and the teacup. They were just looking for trouble...
In the store, Li Tai looked at the arrogant Fang Jun and said speechlessly: "Why is this? After all, the Wu Xing Shen family is also a famous family. It should be beaten, but it is inappropriate to hurt people's faces like this."
Du He on the side didn't think so. He said excitedly: "Your Highness, what you said is wrong. We always have to act in such an unreasonable manner when we go out to let others know that there is no reason or affection in front of us. That It's useless. Since you can't offend us, just be obedient. If you like your shop, I'll give you a price and sell it immediately. If you like your concubine, I'll clean it up and bring it to my house! ”
Li Tai was speechless.
Damn it, I always thought that we were the most tyrannical beings among the royal family, but compared to these dandy boys, I am as pure and kind as a white lotus... (End of Chapter)
