Jiangnan Road, Suzhou Prefecture, Wujiang County.

There was a lot of people in Jinquan restaurant, and the little buddies running the hall shuttled back and forth upstairs and downstairs, greeting the diners who came and went.The shopkeeper who greeted the door kept his mouth open for a moment, and while he was making calculations, he greeted and sent off.

Jinquan Restaurant is the largest restaurant with the best business in Wujiang County.

One is that the dishes taste good, are of high quality and low price, and no matter you are on the road or running a business, you can come in at any time for a tooth festival.The second is that the location of the restaurant is good, and it is built on the edge of Taihu Lake with the best scenery.On the second floor, facing the window, there are several places where you can enjoy the wonderful scenery of Taihu Lake, which attracts many literati who like to recite poems and compose poems.

The owner of the restaurant figured this out, and in order not to let the second floor be infected with the bustling atmosphere downstairs, he did not hesitate to increase the price of the vegetables on the second floor to double the price on the first floor.Food is also more particular, as long as you have money, you can also make dragon liver and phoenix marrow.

Therefore, in Wujiang County, those who can eat on the second floor of Jinquan Restaurant are either rich or noble.

Jin Liu is the big guy in Jinquan Restaurant who specializes in serving these nobles.

At noon, it was the busiest time of the day, two men walked up the stairs one after the other.

The one walking in front was very decent, wearing a crimson gauze round-neck gown, the color of sky and water, with wide sleeves that almost fell to the ground, a blue silk sash around his waist, and a sash hanging on his chest. The golden longevity lock looks at the noble son of some wealthy family.

The one walking behind was also pretty, wearing a tight-sleeve Kui-pattern blouse, official boots on his feet, and a jade pendant the size of a bowl hanging from his waist as if he didn't want money.

Jin Liu greets and sees off every day, and has long practiced a pair of piercing eyes to know people.But just looking at the clothes of these two people today, I really can't tell whether they are friends or master and servant.

"Guest officers, it's been a long time since I saw you. It's going to be hot to go out at this time?" Jin Liu took off the cloth scarf on his shoulders, bowed his body, and greeted the two of them courteously.

"It's not hot, it's just very stuffy. My younger brother and I just came from Huainan Road yesterday. When did you meet us?" Su Che gave Jin Liu a very unceremonious look.

Half a month ago, they set off from Bianjing Suiluanjia and left the imperial city under the banner of patrolling the southern border.

Ten days ago, he and Han Mochu brought enough money, changed their outfits, and quietly embarked on the road to the south of the Yangtze River to thoroughly investigate corruption.

Jin Liu was choked by Su Che, and he smiled happily.I thought to myself that these two people who are so different are actually brothers?Even brothers would never be born in the womb of a mother.

It is estimated that the older one must have been raised by the young lady.

Su Che squinted his eyes, looked around, and chose a seat that pleased him.

I saw that the tables and chairs on the second floor of Jinquan Building were very sparsely arranged, and each table was about five feet apart.Whether eating or talking, it is extremely quiet.

"Brother, should you sit there?" Su Che pouted at Han Mochu, and his eyes fell on the big table with the best view: "Blow the wind through the door to cool off."

Han Mo nodded with a slight shake of his fan, and was stopped by Jin Liu just as he took a step in the direction of the table.

"You two guests, I've offended you. This table is often reserved by someone." Jin Liu hastily stopped in front of the two of them and apologized repeatedly. He pointed to a smaller table next to the window: " You need to be cooler, sitting here is the same. How about a glass of snowflake wine for each of you from the store to quench your thirst?"

Han Mochu didn't make things difficult for Jin Liu, and happily walked to the table guided by Jin Liu, and let Jin Liu dust off the table and chairs before sitting down facing Su Che: "I don't drink crude wine, you serve two Luo Fuchun."

After Han Mo's first words, he took out a purse from his cuff and took out a gold ingot weighing one tael: "The dishes should be light, and the rest will be yours."

Jin Liu looked at the ingot of gold, and his eyes almost popped out with joy.Although it is impossible for all the rest of the gold to belong to him, according to the rules of the store, it will always fall into his hands for two or three taels of silver.He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, stretched out his hand and took the ingot of gold tremblingly: "Thank you! Thank you, guest officer, for the reward!"

Holding the ingot of gold, Jin Liu trotted to the top of the stairs, and almost fell off his feet: "Guests on the second floor, the first-class banquet table!!"

As soon as Jin Liu left, Su Che immediately bared his teeth and lowered his voice: "Han Ziran, you are too ostentatious, aren't you? That ingot of gold is enough to buy a small courtyard here. Still drinking Luofuchun? What if Mr. Huiyuan knows? "

"Sir? Why do you know, sir? It is more than 400 miles away from Guangling. You are drinking here, can he see it?" Han Mochu looked through the window, watching the steam on the Taihu Lake, passing by several ships from time to time. On the cruise ship, there are a few fishmen with bamboo hats fishing on the shore, which is a picture of a gentle and gentle water town.Seeing this beautiful scenery, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and said, "When you're fishing, you have to use the bait enough."

"It's just over 400 miles, and it will take two days and nights to ride a fast horse." Su Che looked at the empty second floor where there was only one table of guests, "Besides, how can there be any fish for you here?"

"Didn't you just see how many people are coming and going downstairs here? People here will know in three to five days that there are two rich people who want to do business in the county. The fish we are looking for, Focus on such rich people."

Just as Su Che was about to answer, he suddenly felt his nasal cavity itch, and then sneezed hard.

When Su Che sneezed, just in time for Jin Liu, who was serving wine downstairs, came up: "Oh, what's the matter, guest officer, why did you sneeze so well, what's wrong with you? "

"You have the nerve to say it? The convective wind here is so hard, I just broke out in a sweat, how can I not sneeze when the wind hits me?" Su Che waved his hands in disgust, and called the opposite person with a proficient Yangzhou accent. Han Mochu: "Brother, here comes the wine."

"Yeah." Hearing what Su Che said, Han Mochu glanced at the big table facing the lake view again: "Brother, there are no people there right now, why don't I add some money to you, you help us How about moving the table over?"

"Two guest officials, to tell you the truth. That table was booked by the second son of Mr. Zhou, the county magistrate of our Wujiang County. This second son is also the chief bookkeeper of the county government's tax collection, and is also in charge of it. The law and order on the ground is hard to say, and the business cannot be opened. We dare not offend him. The two guest officers are newcomers, so don't touch your brows." Facing such a generous and polite guest like Han Mochu, Jin Liu also talked more today.He decided that for this meal, he would make offerings to the two of them as if they were ancestors: "Come on, come on, the younger one poured wine for the two guest officials to make amends."

"If that's the case, then that's all. You pour the bar." Han Mochu's expression did not change, and he had already guessed something in his heart.

What this Xiao Er said was just a master book in a small county like Wujiang. If it goes up to Suzhou Prefecture, or even the entire Jiangnan Road, I don't know what it will be like.

The wine cup was half full, and Han Mochu picked up the small cup and put it under his nose to sniff, then took a shallow sip, with a mediocre expression on his face: "What do you think, brother?"

"The water is a bit poor, try to quench your thirst." Su Che also took a taste with his tongue, and said in a serious way: "Speaking of it, you are not as good as Guannei. The restaurant in Guannei, what Zihong Huaying, too There are clear red clouds."

"Yes, yes, our Wujiang is a small place, how can we compare with Guan Nai, and you two will make up for it when you are away from home." Jin Liu grinned, and brought a green one from the hand of the young man behind him. Red two dishes of cold dishes: "Judging from the accents of the two of you, you don't look like people from the customs."

"Where are people from the Guan, our two brothers are from Yangzhou." Su Che casually picked up a chopstick of green vegetables: "A few years ago, I did some medicine business in the Guan. Looking at the old house is not interesting after all. It is said that the business in Jiangnan Road is doing very well, and our two families urged us to come and have a look first. If it is good, we will move the property to do business. Isn’t it? Here we come ?”

"Oh, what a coincidence! My little ancestor is also from Yangzhou." After hearing this, Jin Liu quickly made a connection: "There is a Mr. Yi'an in Guangling Mansion of Yangzhou, do you two know about it? It's the student of that Mr. Yi Ji. Tsk tsk tsk, it's really a good name and a good show."

"I know, I know." Su Che glanced at the smiling Han Mochu, "My younger brother even had a drink with him."

"Really? I heard that Mr. Yi'an was born with the appearance of a fairy, and now he has become a high official in the court."

"Where is it? It's all rumors from the public." Su Che raised his eyebrows at Han Mochu: "That Mr. Yi'an is far worse than my younger brother. My younger brother is called a fairy."

"Brother, don't talk nonsense about this." Han Mochu closed the folding fan in his hand and tapped the back of Su Che's hand: "Be careful, I'll go back and tell Sister-in-law."

"You two guests, stop arguing. Since the wine is not good, I'll go and bring you two roses." Jin Liu served the guests at this table this afternoon, and the others The guests pushed it to the rest of the boys.

After the two had finished eating, Jin Liu sent them all the way to the door, and turned around until they were no longer in sight.

After the meal, Su Che supported his lower back. He ate more than half of the dishes on the big table just now, and now it was the time when he could not bear it: "Han Ziran, today's meal of one ingot of gold, you don't want to eat it. But have you caught any fish? If not, you should stop doing this as soon as possible, I am afraid that you will have to beg for food in the end if you fail to do your job. "

"I didn't catch anything today, but I can continue fishing tomorrow." Han Mochu raised his hand and slapped Su Che on the back, causing Su Che to stagger and almost spit out all the good food in his stomach: "Just let You come here with me to eat and drink, why do you talk so much? How come I don’t notice that you talk so much? If I hear you arrange me again in the future, I will..."

"What do you do? What do you do?" Su Che stood on tiptoe and forced himself to be the same height as Han Mochu: "I'm your elder brother now, the elder and younger are orderly, if you hit me in the street again, I'll report to the police. You beat up your parents, and you are sentenced to exile for three thousand miles!"

"Su Changru." Han Mochu spread the folding fan in his hand, and smiled clearly: "The chief assistant of the court is right in front of your eyes, may I ask which yamen dares to meddle in your business?"

"Tch." Su Che curled his lips and said, "I don't believe that no one can control you. If it's really impossible, I'll sue you to the little emperor!"

Su Che mentioned Gu Xiu inexplicably, which made Han Mochu think of the sudden deep kiss on the eve of his departure. He couldn't help but feel his heart warm, and he waved the folding fan in his hand with a happy face: "Do whatever you want. Let me write the booklet for you."
