Chapter 4 Business Banquet

Why is Brother Cheng's face so ugly?

Xiao Yaoyi shook the folding fan and looked left and right on Cheng Zongyang's face: His eyes were white and blue, his eyes were dark, and his forehead bones were red... Could it be that he had run into a ghost?

Xiao Yaoyi was just a joke, but Cheng Zongyang smiled bitterly.

Really a ghost?

Xiao Yaoyi suddenly felt energetic, male ghost or female ghost?

What do you think of a big bearded man?

A big bearded man on his face?

Xiao Yaoyi said seriously: That is a bearded female ghost.

Cheng Zongyang was amused by him. The boy saw that he was in a bad mood and deliberately came to tease him.

The haunted incident involves the secret of the palace ban. The Yun family and Yingyue Sect investigated the Linchuan King in private, without any news to the outside world.But Cheng Zongyang really wanted to hear Xiao Yaoyi's idea.

He thought for a while, and then said: There is something, I hope Brother Xiao will not be rumored.

Xiao Yaoyi closed the folding fan and said seriously: Brother Cheng can trust me.

Cheng Zongyang explained the whole story in detail, but skipped the relationship between Yun clan, Yingyue clan and Linchuan King.

While listening, Xiao Yaoyi opened and closed the folding fan, closed and opened again.

Finally, when he heard two figures appearing at the foot of the rockery, his folding fan was squeezing, his eyes shining: Brother Cheng, are you interested in visiting the palace ban at night?

Come less!

Cheng Zongyang refused, and I also saw Taicheng. There were at least a few thousand imperial guards inside, and they were very cautious, with open and secret whistles. I saw that even flies could not fly in.

Of course.

Xiao Yaoyi said: The imperial guards in the palace were all trained by my old man. The vigilance arrangements inside took him half his life to work. How could it be insufficient?I dare to guarantee that no one in Jiankang City can easily get into the palace except me, Xiao Yaoyi.

Then I dare not.If you really want to get in under the pretext of your name, everyone knows that it is your little marquis who did a good thing, and you will be sure to catch it.

What name is Ah?If I pull you into the palace by changing into the imperial guards' clothes, then you will jump into the fire pit.

With me, a great expert who knows the truth, we must ensure that we two gods sneak in without knowing each other and slip out easily without even touching the grass.

Then can't you go by yourself?

Xiao Yaoyi said with a saliva: Am I afraid of the darkness?To be honest, Brother Cheng said that if no one is with me, I wouldn’t even dare to go out even if I urinate in the middle of the night.

Cheng Zongyang didn't expect to find another errand for himself and said helplessly: Look at when.

This is not a good day to marry a wife and take a concubine.

Xiao Yaoyi said excitedly: It is better to choose a day than to meet the day. I think it is quite appropriate tonight!

Cheng Zongyang stretched: I only slept for two hours last night.Only by raising your spirit can you do this kind of stealing things.Now I'll sleep for a while, and call me again at night.

Zhuo Yunjun didn't hear the footsteps until they were close to their ears.She barely raised her eyes and saw the woman's face covered with white powder as pale as a mask.

The woman forgot the oil lamp on the table. When she saw the oil burning out, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken. She muttered for a while before adding oil, she lit the lamp.

In order to save fuel, she removed another lamp grass, and the already faint light became dimmer.

The woman held up the oil lamp and took a photo on Zhuo Yunjun's face, then spat: The vulgar and lewd ingredient, he even knew how to cry!

Zhuo Yunjun's hands and feet were tied up, and the tears on his face could not be wiped.When this vulgar rural woman saw herself crying, she couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry.

Zhuo Yunjun took a breath: What exactly do you want to do?

do what?I spent four silver baht to buy you, of course I want you to make money!

The woman cursed with her waist on her back: The left and right are just three inches of cheap meat under her belly. What's the price?If you figure it out, there is a wooden couch in front of you. Just lie on the couch, put your legs aside, let those men lie on your stomach, and arch it a few times in your dirty flesh.I got ten copper coins at a time. Where can I find such a lightweight way to make money?

Zhuo Yunjun's heart was cold.I am in Taiyi Zhenzong's fine clothes and food, and a sock alone exceeds this price a hundred times.Ten copper zhu at a time, only the lowest-class beggar women in the local prostitute will be so cheap.

Zhuo Yunjun was both ashamed and angry, and his voice trembled: You should just die of this heart!I would rather starve to death than earn a penny for you!

You are a naughty embryo!Being a Taoist nun is precious?Not a bad bitch whore can be suppressed by thousands of people!

The woman didn't talk nonsense to her, and picked up the door bolt and beat her up again.

Zhuo Yunjun was in a state of hunger, and the woman hit the pain in the front of her calf again. The door bolt fell down, and the bones on the calf seemed to be folded into two sections, and the bone marrow was splashed out.

Zhuo Yunjun couldn't help but scream.

The woman heard the scream and started to make a move more and more powerful; Zhuo Yunjun had no ability to resist and was beaten to the ground.

She had been suffering from the rude and could no longer hold back the sound of the sound. She screamed in pain after the woman was beaten rudely, and finally fainted again.

In the courtyard, the dim sunshine shines on the walls, which is at dusk.A door with thick felt hanging on the room was pushed open, and the woman came out of the room with an oil lamp and raised her hand to extinguish it.

Cheng Zongyang hugged his chest with one hand and touched his chin with the other: Is this your method?I thought it was so clever, but it turned out that I was just beating to death. This is too simple and crude, right?Just hit it, and you also use the door latch. You can change the whip and taste it a bit, right?

The woman stuck out her tongue and showed a pretty smile that was absolutely inconsistent with her vulgar outfit.She put down the oil lamp, took off the black mole next to her mouth, and washed away the thick powder from her face.

You don't understand.

While washing off the powder and revealing a delicate face like a gem, Xiao Zi said: A woman like her has high martial arts skills and prominent status. She has always been domineering and arrogant. You treat her as an extraordinary person and torture her seriously and severely. She really regards herself as a treasure, and the more she beats her, the more proud she becomes.Only after using the door bolt did she realize that she was a prostitute in the kiln and was not a noble person.

Cheng Zongyang looked at the bolt.Not iron either.Why can't she even stand this?I couldn't even listen to the call.You aren't really abusing you, right?

Xiao Zi bounced the water mark on Cheng Zongyang's face and said with a smile: Cheng Touer is heartbroken.

I'm afraid you will beat her to death.Just teach her some lesson. If you beat her to a half-dead, I can’t explain to Zhenren Wang.

Xiao Zi curled her lips: She didn't use any force at all.Don't worry, she is in good condition and doesn't even have any scars.

Then why did she call such a miserable sound?

Xiao Zi blinked.It's her that's too useless.

Cheng Zongyang snorted: If you don’t blink, I might believe it.Tell me, what tricks did you use, you dead girl?

Xiao Zi smiled and said: I just gave her a few injections while she was in a coma to make her feel more clear about the pain.This woman is so amazing. She fainted twice and was only screamed today.

I really don’t know what Xiao Zi learned from Guiwangdong and Shanghou, and tricks emerge one after another.

The day before yesterday, she grabbed Zhuo Yunjun and twisted her two thin needles into a hook shape, nailing her to the spine of Zhuo Yunjun's neck to control her skills.

With Zhuo Yunjun's cultivation level, he could not use his true energy at all, thinking that he had lost all his martial arts.

Then it stimulated her pain nerves and doubled her pain.

It fell into Xiao Zi's hands, so I can only say that Zhuo Yunjun owed her too much in her previous life.

Cheng Zongyang said: You used all my bedding, how can I sleep?

Xiao Zi touched Cheng Zongyang's cheek, her delicate fingers were as smooth as nephrite, and said in a sweet voice: Can you sleep in the same bed with Xiao Zi...

Cheng Zongyang was touched by her, but fortunately there was still a little bit of clarity on the spiritual platform, so he immediately said: I'm fine.

Xiao Zi withdrew her hand in disappointment: I've been waiting for the master for a long time.

Cheng Zongyang said cautiously: Are you waiting for me to die?

Xiao Zi stuck out her tongue: The master is going to die, would Xiao Zi be buried with her master?

Are you addicted to me?Don't let me go if I die?

Cheng Touer, you are so bored, there is no interest at all...

The house is located in the northeast of the house, next to the garden, and next to it is a small building at the corner of the courtyard.

Since no one lives in it, the house was only cleaned and not repainted when it was moved.

At this time, the doors and windows of the house were covered with bedding. Whether the wind was sunny outside or the moon was on the willows, the interior was dark.

Zhuo Yunjun thought that time had passed, but in fact she was imprisoned here for only two and a half days.

Xiao Zi calculated the time and went there every six hours, which made her mistakenly think that a day had passed.

Zhuo Yunjun's true energy was restrained, and his vision, hearing, endurance, and self-control were greatly reduced, and his resistance was even worse than that of ordinary people.

Xiao Zi applied thick powder to the surface, deliberately turning the light extremely dark, and then changed the sound. Zhuo Yunjun did not recognize her as the girl she had fought with.

Don’t forget that in seven days, you only have four and a half days left.

Xiao Zi smiled and said: She can no longer hold back and screams in pain. If she has hungry for another day, she will eat obediently on the fourth day.By the sixth day, I could ask her to call me Mom.

Cheng Zongyang said with concern: Thank you for having such a big daughter.

Xiao Zi spat, then turned her ear: The person named Xiao is here.

Cheng Zongyang said: You should go out to see him too.He hasn't seen you these days, and I see that he is worried about it. He runs here one by one, so he won't get sick.

Xiao Zi rolled her eyes: I didn't see him.Humph, he is like Xie Yi, and he is not at all kind-hearted.

Come on, you are the one with the most bad intentions in this world!There is also the face to talk about others.

As soon as Xiao Yaoyi met, he was stunned before he could speak: Brother Cheng, you...

Cheng Zongyang looked at himself: What's wrong?

Xiao Yaoyi pointed to his cheek, and when Cheng Zongyang touched it, there was a big black mole on his face.

Cheng Zongyang was so amused that the dead girl was so cunning that she said inadvertently.She just touched her face, and most of the time she deliberately put the mole on her face.

Cheng Zongyang took off the fake mole and smiled and said: How about it?It's eye-catching enough.Since you are entering the palace, of course you have to put on makeup.

Brother Cheng is meticulous.

Xiao Yaoyi apologized: But it won’t work tonight. I’ll apologize to Brother Cheng. Brother Meng has arrived and I’m going to pick him up.

Cheng Zongyang said: Boss Meng came to Jiankang, could he come to see me specifically?

Of course not.

Xiao Yaoyi said: Boss Meng’s trip was booked half a year ago. It was originally stated that tomorrow was coming, but it was just tonight because of Brother Yi’s business.

Seeing that Xiao Yaoyi's expression became dim again, Cheng Zongyang changed the topic: What's wrong with Boss Meng coming to Jiankang? He actually decided half a year ago?

Xiao Yaoyi wiped his nose and said with a barely smile: The Yun family's fleet is back.Tomorrow, Yun Mansion will invite guests and friends. Boss Meng is a guest of honor, so of course he will come.

Does the Yun family have any relationship with your Xingyue Lake?

Cheng Zongyang found it strange.Yun Cangfeng and Xie Yisu don’t know each other, and they don’t even know Xiao Yaoyi’s identity. But the Yun family invited Meng Feiqing to treat him. Could it be that they had a long time to be related?

Xiao Yaoyi was stunned, how could it be?

Then he understood and said with a smile: Brother Meng is the big boss of Pengyi Business. He has been doing business in Chang'an. The Yun family treats guests, so of course he has to give Boss Meng this face.

Only then did Cheng Zongyang realize that after Yue Shuai died, the people of Xingyue Lake were invisible in the market and changed their identities.It is hard for them to keep it so secret, and even Yun Cangfeng, who is very clear about his hands and eyes, doesn't know the details.

Xiao Yaoyi suddenly laughed and said: Brother Cheng, can you hear something interesting?The day before yesterday, the horse team of the Yun Chamber of Commerce returned to Jiankang. I don’t know which guy got rid of Xiong Xinbao’s gall, and actually teased the eldest daughter of the Yun family on the river.

Cheng Zongyang said in surprise: Is there such a thing actually there?Unfortunately, I was still in Qingyuan that day and missed this excitement.What a pity.

Xiao Yaoyi smiled and said: Miss Yun went to sea with the fleet at the age of fifteen. She was the one who led the team in person this time. She is a famous female hero in Jiankang City.The man didn't know what origins were, but he dared to tease him, but was beaten by Miss Yun and threw him into the river.

Cheng Zongyang smiled dryly and said: That person is really not very eye-catching.Ha ha.

The two of them laughed and talked for a few words, and Xiao Yaoyi said: Brother Cheng has a good relationship with the third master of the Yun family. You will be indispensable for tomorrow's posts.After the banquet ended, I took Brother Cheng to see Brother Meng.

Cheng Zongyang became very angry when he heard this. He had received the Yun family's post, but he didn't know it was because the Yun family fleet returned to treat him.

When I heard this, I would definitely be able to stay at the banquet tomorrow. I came to the banquet with great integrity. If I were recognized by Miss Yun at the banquet, my face would be thrown away in the Six Dynasties.

At this moment, Cheng Zongyang couldn't even find the excuse in front of Xiao Yaoyi, so he had to grit his teeth and smile: It's easy to say.

The Yun family is located in Yanfu Lane near the Qinhuai River in the south of Jiankang City. A slightly old house occupies the entire alley, and behind the house is the wharf.

Those giant sea-sea ships were unable to enter the Qinhuai River and were all moored at the mouth of the river. There were boats unloading valuable goods from the ships and transporting them directly into Yun’s house.

Yun Cangfeng personally greeted the guests in front of the gate.He wore an indigo-green robe and another emerald jade pendant hung on his waist.As for whether it is Longjing Jade, Cheng Zongyang couldn't tell it.

As soon as Cheng Zongyang entered the alley, Yuncangfeng came to greet him from afar: Brother Cheng, come late.

There were many guests in front of Yun's house, and the cars and horses were sailing more than two miles away. Seeing Yun Cangfeng so kind to this young man, the guests were secretly surprised that they didn't know which tycoon business he was.

Cheng Zongyang jumped off the horse and said with a smile: Brother Yun, congratulations on making money.

Yun Cangfeng held Cheng Zongyang's hand and said repeatedly: TOEFL TOEFL, Brother Cheng, please!

Cheng Zongyang knew that Yun Cangfeng gave him face in front of everyone and that he could get the recognition of Master Yun San, and that his business would have a foothold in Jiankang in the future.

Yun Cangfeng pulled Cheng Zongyang and called out: Brother Qin and Brother Wu, please!

Cheng Zongyang was somewhat wary of Qin Hui and Wu Sangui and rarely took them out for work.

But this trip was special. If Yun Danliu really recognized it and fought during the meal, he would be more than two more masters around him, so it would be safer to escape.

Brother Yun kept it secret. If it weren't for the little marquis talking about it, I wouldn't know that it was my brother's fleet that had returned.

Yun Cangfeng greeted the guests while walking, and said with a low smile: Why should you be distracted by this little thing?

It's not small, twelve sea ships, Brother Yun will definitely make a fortune this time.

Yun Cangfeng smiled and raised his voice: If Brother Cheng is interested, he might as well join the boat to go out to sea.I'm afraid that the guy will not take these ships seriously.

As soon as this statement was spoken, someone came to greet him. Mr. Yun, congratulations.

You are kind to the shopkeeper Wang.

When Master Yun San makes money, we Jiankang makes money.All of us are targeting the Yun family to live. The bigger the Yun family's business, the more we make.I, Lao Wang, can calculate this account clearly.

Manager Wang joked for a few words, and then said: This young man is a little jealous...

Yun Cangfeng took Cheng Zongyang's hand: This is the young master of the Cheng family.The Cheng family has always been doing business in the south. Although they are not well-known in Jiankang, they have extraordinary wealth.

Yun Cangfeng intends to take this opportunity to make famous in Jiankang for Cheng Zongyang. He is very kind, but he knows that Cheng Zongyang has a ghost in his heart. This time he only wants to be low-key, the better.

Seeing that more and more guests came to greet him, Cheng Zongyang smiled on his face, but secretly pulled Yun Cangfeng's sleeve.

Yun Cangfeng knew it, and then led Cheng Zongyang into the door after talking and laughing.

Yun Cangfeng walked into the side yard and whispered: Is there anything wrong?

Cheng Zongyang said sadly: My illness has not been cured yet, and I feel dizzy now. Why not go back first.

How did this happen?

Yun Cangfeng said: I specially arranged a seat for the guy, a mirage in the inner house.During the meal, there were the son-in-law of the Wang family of Langya, the Xie family of Chen County, the young master of the Shi family of Jingu, the Marquis of Zhang, the Marquis of Wudu, and the distinguished guests of the Yu family of Yingchuan, the Yuan family of Chen County, the Liu family of He family, and the Huan family of Qiao Guo.As for the little marquis you know, of course, they are here too.These families are all families with Jiankang. If the guy wants to do a jewelry business, this is an opportunity to get close to him.

When Cheng Zongyang heard this string of names, he was even more imposing. He was looking for excuses to refuse, and suddenly heard a long laugh: Brother Cheng!

Xiao Yaoyi was wearing a gorgeous dress and a golden crown on his head. Just like those trousers in Jiankang City, two maids were holding him, and he was waving to him with a slut.

Cheng Zongyang had no choice but to go over and smile bitterly: Little Marquis, you came early.

Yun Cangfeng politely bowed to Xiao Yaoyi and went to greet the guests.Behind Cheng Zongyang, Wu Sangui looked around with a pair of hawk eyes, while Qin Hui took a step forward and smiled and said: "Little Marquis."

It's fine.

Xiao Yaoyi said: Why did you come to the Yun family to attend the banquet and bring guards?You're too careful.

What I am guarding against is either someone else or the eldest lady of the Yun family.Unfortunately, this is not easy to say clearly. Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: I will lead Huizhi and Changbolai to see the world.

Xiao Yaoyi squeezed his eyes and laughed in a low voice: Why didn’t you bring that pretty maid?These people like to show off their wealth and fight for wealth.I heard just now that Shi Chao exchanged the fat man with ten beads for a beautiful maid, and he was extremely proud.When your pretty maid comes, they are shocked.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: If you think it's appropriate for her to show up, I don't care.

Xiao Yaoyi said dejectedly: I didn’t say anything.

Xiao Yaoyi waved his maid away and walked side by side with Cheng Zongyang to the garden next to the building, saying calmly: After the banquet, Brother Cheng and I walked together.

Boss Meng has arrived?

Xiao Yaoyi nodded. The building is full of children from aristocratic families, and Brother Meng is attending the banquet outside.

As he was speaking, a man in a gorgeous uniform walked into the yard with his servants, looked at Xiao Yaoyi from a distance, and then stepped into the mirage with his head held high.

Then another fat young man came in. He was carrying several guards behind him, surrounded by more than a dozen maids. A strong fragrance of powder came to his face more than ten feet apart.

Didn’t the one just now bring the maid?

nonsense.He is the prince consort, so it’s hard to take his maid to sway around the market.

Xiao Yaoyi said: Wang Chuzhong, from the Wang family in Langya.It's a talent.

Your seventh brother Wang Tao belongs to his family?

Xiao Yaoyi knew that he was not very clear about the genealogy of these noble families and explained: Although Wang and Xie were called together, the Wang family was actually two families.The seventh brother is the Wang family in Taiyuan, and his family is not much different from the Wang family in Langya.

As he said that, Xiao Yaoyi pointed to the fat young man and said with a low smile: That family is far from that. Although the Jingu Shi family is rich enough to rival a country, they have never produced any high-ranking officials.His Jingu Garden is known as the No. 1 Huayuan in Jiankang.When I met the prince-consor of the Wang family, I had a good show.

A man leaned out half of his body from the upstairs and shouted: Brother Xiao!Why did you get there?I'm telling you, how about we go to Xishan to hunt in two days?Let’s try your Haidongqing together!

Cheng Zongyang recognized that it was Zhang Shaohuang, the Marquis of Wudu. Before Xiao Yaoyi spoke, Shi Chao from the Shi family of Jingu applauded and smiled: It’s a coincidence that I have a new slingshot and I’m worried that there is no place to use it.

Zhang Shaohuang is also familiar with him: What kind of slingshot?

The fat man waved his hand, and a guard behind him ran two steps, opened his skin, took out a golden slingshot, and handed it to the young master.

The slingshot was twisted with golden wire, and the whole body was shining with gold. The projectile used was even more like a pearl with a longan eye, which was extremely valuable.

Shi Chao made a good posture, pulled away the slingshot, and squinted his eyes and hit a little girl holding wine.

Xiao Yaoyi remained silent, but Cheng Zong raised his eyebrows.

Shi Chao was not very strong, and he could only swollen his head when he hit him, but he was aiming at the little girl's eyes. If this shot hit, it would be a disability.

The projectile flew out, and when the little girl was scared, she suddenly saw a figure flashing. Wu Sangui grabbed the pearl used as the projectile and bounced towards Shi Chao with his fingers.

The force of his finger was no different from that of the young master. The wind brought by Mingzhu was strong and urgent. Once it hit, Cheng Zongyang could guarantee that he could make a clear hole in Shi Chao's forehead.

The guard behind Shi Chao did not react for a while, just watched the pearl break through the air with a sharp sound.

Cheng Zongyang said in his heart: OK, this guy is so angry that he is really angry about the beauty.This bullet killed the young master of the Shi family, and everyone could clean up and leave Jiankang and continue to run for their lives.

In the flash of lightning, Qin Hui rose up, grabbed Mingzhu with his backhand, tightened his palm slightly, and removed the force on the bead, and his movements were like flowing clouds and water without any fireworks.

He raised his hand calmly, handed Mingzhu to Shi Chao, and smiled and said: Mr. Shi is good at bullet skills.This pearl is of great value, please keep it.

Shi Chao didn't know that he had been walking around in front of the gate of hell, and said angrily: It's troublesome!

Xiao Yaoyi said suddenly: Fatty Shi, you have to look at the owner when you beat a dog!I'm standing here, you're cursing in front of me?

Wu Sangui's cheeks twitched, and Cheng Zongyang hurriedly said: That guy didn't mean that.Don’t go to your heart, Chang Bo.

Xiao Yaoyi is a famous romantic marquis in Jiankang City. He is regarded as absurd by the gentleman, but these trousers all have the same stinking taste as him.

Whether fighting dogs and horses, eating, drinking, gamblers, Xiao Yaoyi is a top-notch player. Although he is not old, he has a great reputation among these people.

At this time, Shi Chao did not dare to repay the lesson with his eyebrows and eyes. The fat on his face shook and said aggrievedly: I didn't scold anyone...

Xiao Yaoyi used a folding fan to shoot Shi Chao's head: Just your broken slingshot and still have a face to show your eyes!Gold is soft, can it be used to twist it into a slingshot?He also uses beads as projectiles, why don’t you use fish eyes?

Shi Chao had no temper at all to Xiao Yaoyi and said with a smile: Brother Xiao, don’t be angry, just give him this bead, and I’ll make it happen if I apologize?

Don't dare.

Qin Hui's smile did not change. Such beads were despised as the owner of the car, so there was no need for the young master Shi to spend money.

As he said that, he flipped his hand, threw the pearl into the guard's capsule, and retreated respectfully to the side with his hands hanging down.

Shi Chao didn't take these servants seriously, and just pestered Xiao Yaoyi and said: Brother Xiao, Xiao Master!You hunt and take me with you. I have all the food and drinks I have, and I don’t want any prey I have caught!I will give you another thousand silver baht as the lottery, can I do it?

Xiao Yaoyi pressed his chin with a folding fan and his handsome eyes turned slightly: Brother Cheng, what do you think?

The palace is haunted, the business is open, and the people from Xingyue Lake are going to meet, and there is a beautiful man at home. Where can I have time to hunt?

Cheng Zongyang said perfunctorily: That’s good.

Shi Chao was overjoyed: Thank you very much!Is this Brother Cheng?We meet for the first time, so we should get closer in the future!
