Chapter 515 Shopkeeper
Chapter 515 Shopkeeper
Wu Chengsi, who originally came to watch the show, did not expect Li Cunxi to have this idea. After thinking about it for a while, he nodded immediately.
"Well, if you don't plan to go out hunting for the emperor in the next period of time, then let my son Yanhao go to the governor's mansion to gain some experience."
"However, this matter still needs to be submitted to His Majesty in writing, and after His Majesty's approval, it will be sent to the Luozhou Governor's Office."
"You can only take my son Yanhao with you after the Luozhou Governor's Office has made preparations in advance."
"Yan Hao is your subordinate now. This is his first time going to the governor's office, so you have to accompany him."
Li Cunxi nodded hurriedly.
"Master, I am aware of this truth. I will discuss this with Brother Yanhao first, and when he agrees, I will write a letter to His Majesty."
Wu Chengsi nodded contentedly.
"So good."
Wu Chengsi, who is usually dignified and solemn, showed a proud look on his face.
He became more and more optimistic about Li Cunxi, even though the power and connections he now controlled were not as good as Li Cunxi's.
The teacher and the student understood each other tacitly, and did not break the thin layer of window paper.
The agreement made at the top of Xiaoshan Mountain in the past still counts today.
The only victim, Wu Sansi, was filled with hatred but was unable to break the relationship between the two.
In just half an hour, Wu Zetian reviewed the government affairs again and again, and finally sent back the government affairs she had reviewed and approved.
Everyone had nothing to do, so they left together.
Wu Sansi walked alone behind, very angry.
After leaving Taichu Palace, Wu Sansi got on his carriage without saying goodbye to anyone and told his servants to leave quickly to avoid being contaminated by bad luck.
Li Cunxi watched him leave, turned around and said with a smile:
"Uncle, mentor, Lord Zhang, shall we say goodbye here?"
Wu Chengsi nodded, and saw Wu Yanhao and Lu Dayou following him from afar out of the corner of his eye. He strode into the carriage and let a burly bald man drive away.
Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi laughed, got on their respective carriages, and went home.
Wu Yanhao, who arrived late, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My dad is gone, hahahahahahahaha hiccup..."
"My mentor should really teach you a lesson." Li Cunxi said, "Let's go to a restaurant and have a meal and a drink together."
"Okay, but you know, I, Lu Dayou, am a pauper, and I have an unmarried sister at home..." Lu Dayou was heartbroken.
"You, Lord Lu, naturally can't afford to go to the restaurants in the capital, and neither can I." Wu Yanhao said, "Isn't there You Cunxi?"
"Okay, I'll treat you. I'll talk to you guys while we eat."
Li Cunxi was not vague. He invited the two to get on the carriage, and asked Qiao Tai to drive, while Ma Rong sat on the side, and went to a famous restaurant in the capital.
After a while, the carriage stopped outside a restaurant called "Shili Xiang". Ma Rong helped Li Cunxi and others down, and then asked Qiao Tai to park the carriage.
Looking up at this restaurant which is said to be the most upscale restaurant in Luoyang City, Li Cunxi only paid attention to the name of the restaurant.
"Shilixiang, what a good name."
When he named Xize Bank, he took one character from each of the names "Li Cunxi" and "Li Zezhou".
He thought he was uneducated enough, but he didn't expect that the owner of this restaurant was even less educated than himself.
Why not choose "Shilixiang"?
"I guess this boss is also a person who knows how to return to basics." Wu Yanhao joked with a smile.
Ma Rong followed carefully behind, protecting the few people as they walked into the restaurant.
"Find a seat for Lord Li in the elegant pavilion on the second floor."
Wu Yanhao, who has not yet taken off his official robe, has not yet learned to behave like a human being, but he has mastered the authority of an official.
He held his head high and chest out, dragged Li Cunxi out, and let Li Cunxi walk in front.
"My Lords, please."
One of the waiters noticed the official uniforms these officers were wearing and without hesitation he slipped behind the counter.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a lot of fat came up to the second floor with a smile on his face. He stood outside one of the private rooms, brewed some emotions, and then knocked on the door with a smile on his face.
Soon, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Qiao Taihu stood between the door frames with a fierce look on his face, staring at the middle-aged man viciously, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"This great..."
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Qiao Tai immediately asked angrily: "Who are you and what do you want?"
The fat, big-eared middle-aged man did not show any anger after being interrupted, but instead smiled ingratiatingly.
"I am the owner of this restaurant. I heard that you gentlemen were coming, so I came here to serve you."
Qiao Tai closed the door and turned to ask Li Cunxi for his opinion.
Li Cunxi, who had been planning to mention the matter of entering the Luozhou Governor's Mansion for training to Wu Yanhao and Lu Dayou, stopped because of the sudden arrival of the shopkeeper and did not show any emotion.
At this moment, hearing that the other party wanted to come in and serve, he nodded.
"Then let him in and see what he is going to do."
Qiao Tai turned around, opened the door, and let the shopkeeper in.
As soon as the shopkeeper came in, he noticed Li Cunxi's official robe, and knelt down on his knees without caring whether he could see it clearly or not.
"My Lords, I am honored to be here."
"I heard that you all are here, so I dare not neglect you and come here to serve you."
Li Cunxi laughed but didn't care much.
"Boss, do you recognize us? Aren't you afraid of recognizing the wrong people?"
"You all are so busy every day, and you are always busy working for the country. I am naturally not lucky enough to see you. I only know that you are handsome, energetic, and heroic. It would be a great honor to see you in person, so I come to serve you."
The shopkeeper knocked it all the way down with a loud and clear sound.
Li Cunxi was very interested in this man who knew the current affairs. He held his chin and looked at the other person with a smile.
"What's your name? Who are you related to?"
Anyone who dares to open a restaurant in the capital city of Luoyang must be no ordinary person.
Even though the shopkeeper was so humble, Li Cunxi would not believe that he had no powerful backing.
"My surname is Zhang, so I am considered a distant relative of Lord Zhang."
The shopkeeper's face was filled with shame.
"It's just that I have no future, so I have to run a restaurant to make a living."
Wu Yanhao couldn't help but retreat tactically after hearing this.
He had guessed who the owner of this restaurant supported, but he did not guess that it was Zhang Jianzhi.
Even though this guy claims to be a distant relative of Zhang Jianzhi, if he is really pushed to the limit, he will kowtow hundreds of times at the door of Zhang Jianzhi's house, and officials below the fifth rank will have to pack up and die.
"So you are a relative of Lord Zhang. I don't dare ask you to serve me then."
Li Cunxi put down his wine glass, which was now empty.
The restaurant owner came over quickly, picked up the wine jug, and carefully poured it for Li Cunxi.
"It is my great honor to serve you, my Lord, at meals." The shopkeeper smiled and offered the wine glass with both hands.
"If you wear this official uniform, even a pig can fly." Li Cunxi sighed and raised his glass to drink it all.
