I am not a good person

Xu Yuan pulled him back a step, pointed to the plaque above with embarrassment, on which were written the three characters of "Fuguiju": "Look at the decoration, this name, it must be very expensive..."

Just look at the storefront, with red paint and green tiles, carved beams and painted columns, two small lion stone sculptures in front of the door, and three big gold characters on the plaque with red background and black border, which shine golden without sunlight.

Looking into the door at a glance, it is facing the stairs leading to the second floor. The handrails are wrapped with red satin, and the ceiling is painted with white cranes playing in the water.

In the hall, the guests eating at the table are not comparable to ordinary people in terms of their clothes. The private rooms on the second floor are juxtaposed, and the people inside the door are probably either rich or expensive.

Zhao Zenian understood Xu Yuan's concerns, Xu Yuan was poor, and the food here was not something a poor boy in the countryside could afford.He said, "It's okay, I invite you."

Xu Yuan shook his head: "From yesterday to now, you have paid for the hotel before dinner, and I really can't let you spend any more!"

Zhao Zenian was not the one who wronged him, he covered Xu Yuan's vest with his hand, and pushed him into the store: "Don't talk nonsense, follow me, brother, you should be famous and hot!"

"Mr. Zhao!" Xiao Er warmly greeted him, "Is this your friend?"

Zhao Zenian didn't answer, but said, "Prepare the private room."

Xiao Er led them to the second floor: "Okay! Two gentlemen, please go upstairs!"

After going up the stairs, Xu Yuan looked even more uneasy, Zhao Zenian noticed it and asked, "What are you doing?"

After last night, Xu Yuan no longer regarded Zhao Zenian as an outsider, and said bluntly: "Every room here has a name, there are not many words, but I still can't recognize them all."

Zhao Zenian smiled indifferently, but in fact he was very contemptuous. It was just a few words, and he actually put on a look of dying!

"Master Zhao?" A suspicious voice came from one of the rooms.

Zhao Zenian stopped, and the person who called him was a middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s, who was sitting next to him in a private room called "Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia".

The man was big and round, with Taoist head combed, and two mustaches in the middle of the man. He was wearing a white gown, a brocade half-arm shirt with reflective fabric, and a gold-plated wide-brimmed belt. He looked like a rich man.

There is a young servant standing on each side of the door, not more than 20 years old.

Zhao Zenian was stunned for a moment, stood outside the door and rushed inside, clapping his hands: "Master Zhou..."

Master Zhou stood up from the big round table with a width of more than one meter, and walked out from the private room: "So it is really Mr. Zhao, I thought I misread the person!"

Zhao Zenian smiled lightly.

Master Zhou said: "Master Zhao, you once helped me, I still remember it!"

Zhao Zenian responded flatly: "It's all in the past, Master Zhou doesn't have to worry about it."

Master Zhou disagreed: "Hey, I will not easily forget anyone who has been kind to me Zhou Qingtian! Mr. Zhao is also true, since you are here, why don't you say hello, so that I can do my best as a landlord?" friendship?"

Zhao Zenian hesitated for a moment, then said: "This... I just passed by here for a short stay, and I am ready to leave."

Zhou Qingtian was shocked: "Why, are you leaving now?"

"Master Zhou, don't worry, that was my original plan, but now...the new friend I made here is in trouble, so I will naturally help him out before leaving." Zhao Zenian looked at him pointedly. He glanced at Xu Yuan.

Zhou Qingtian nodded understandingly, and said, "That's just right, I'll take this opportunity to invite you to this meal, Mr. Zhao, please don't refuse me any more!"

Zhao Zenian smiled helplessly as the other party was powerful, "Then we'd better obey orders than be respectful."

Zhou Qingtian also just arrived, and the dishes he ordered hadn't been served yet. Because there were two people added, he added a few more dishes and two jugs of fine wine.

Zhao Zenian looked at the environment of the private room. In addition to the round table and chairs for eating in the middle, there were two chairs and a square high table under the window. There are four pots of different plants.

Except for the two walls of the entrance door and the window, on the other two walls, there is an ink painting on one side, which is a carp playing in the water.On one side is a piece of cursive script, which reads: Heaven rewards hard work.

Zhou Qingtian was also sizing up, but it was Xu Yuan who was sizing up. After looking at the person, he said, "Young Master Zhao, tell me, what's the trouble with your friend? After all, Danxi Town is my territory. What's the problem?" You might as well speak up, maybe I can help a thing or two!"

"This..." Zhao Zenian hesitated, and Xu Yuan had to agree to say it.

Zhou Qingtian put on a very caring look: "Young Master Zhao, thanks to Mr. Zhou for treating you as a friend, but you... Forget it, it's also a difficult thing for me to force others to do!"

"No, Mr. Zhou is worrying too much. I definitely don't mean that." Zhao Zenian returned to his original indifference: "My friend came to Danxi Town to find relatives."

He looked at Xu Yuan and saw him nodding in agreement, so he gave a rough idea of ​​Xu Yuan's life experience.

Zhou Qingtian's expression can be described as exciting, at first he was puzzled, but when he learned that the relative Xu Yuan was looking for was from the Xu family, he started to be surprised, and when he learned about the relationship between Xu Yuan and the Xu family, he turned into surprise.

And after he understood the whole thing, his expression became more complicated, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised in mockery, and his eyes were glinting, obviously secretly delighted and calculating.

The change in his expression was so obvious that even Xu Yuan, who was unresponsive, could see it, and couldn't help but move his body uneasily.

Zhou Qingtian puffed out his chest and said, "I can help you!"

Zhao Zenian flatly refused: "No, we can do it ourselves. Master Zhou, although I have only been in Danxi Town for a few days, I know a little about you and Master Xu. How about it?" However, such enthusiasm is clearly seeking something.

Zhou Qingtian laughed out loud with guilt: "The relationship between the Zhou Mansion and the Xu Mansion is indeed not that harmonious."

He also understood why Zhao Zenian said that, so he said, "Okay, I promise you that I will never interfere in this matter."

Zhao Zenian cupped his hands again and glanced at Xu Yuan to reassure him.

After dinner, the two parties parted ways, and they walked towards the Yuelai Inn. Xu Yuan was still uneasy, and asked, "Zenian, how did you and Mr. Zhou meet? He doesn't seem to be short of money. I'm curious. What a great favor he will have!"

A gleam flashed in Zhao Zenian's eyes: "It happened two years ago. Master Zhou went out to buy goods, and when he came back, he met bandits. I happened to pass by there, and I helped him fight off bandits. Escort him for a while. His memory is really good, he still remembers my face."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to touch his face.

Xu Yuan looked adoring: "You are so powerful, you can even deal with bandits! My legs tremble when I hear the word bandits."

He looked at Zhao Zenian's profile with admiration: "So you have always been such an enthusiastic person!" So seeing that he was rejected by the Xu family, he was willing to help him generously.

Zhao Zenian lazily replied, "Anyway, I have nothing to do when I'm free."

Xu Yuan knew that he shouldn't gossip about people behind his back, so he hesitated for a while before saying: "I think Master Zhou is not a simple person, I...I'm worried that he will harm the Xu family because of my affairs."

Zhao Zenian turned his head and gave him a reassuring look: "Your suspicion is not unreasonable, but don't worry, a businessman like him pays attention to credit, and if he says he won't interfere, he won't cause you any trouble."

Xu Yuan smiled, and turned to talk about the meal just now: "I have learned a lot! I never knew that ordinary green vegetables can be made into various delicacies in various ways, and there are also things I have never eaten before. Shark's fin and bear's paw, I have never seen many dishes! Even that house, compared to the place where my mother and I lived, is really..."

In the afternoon two days later, Zhao Zenian found out accurate news: Xu Shaoliang had just returned to the residence.

Xu Yuan grabbed his shoulder in surprise: "Thank you for helping me, thank you for taking care of me these days!"

Zhao Zenian pretended to be cold: "What do you mean, you want to sever friendship with me?"

"No, no!" Xu Yuan shook his head like a rattle: "You are my best friend and the only one. I just thank you so much, but I don't know how to repay you!"

"I told you, don't be so polite with me."

Zhao Zenian really didn't care, but the more casual he was, the more Xu Yuan cared. After taking a deep breath, he said solemnly: "If there is a chance, I will definitely repay you!"

Zhao Zenian nodded copingly, but still didn't listen to his words: "Stop talking so much nonsense, let's talk about it after you enter Xu's house."

Xu Yuan took out a silver bracelet from his bosom, and remembered it infinitely: "My father gave it to my mother when they first got together. Even in the most difficult time, my mother was reluctant to exchange it for money."

The whole body of the silver bracelet is carved with flowers and flowers, surrounded by four words: All the best.

"Everything is going well, but in my life, nothing seems to be going well, let alone everything is going well!" Xu Yuan smiled wryly.

Zhao Zenian glanced at the fineness and production of the silver bracelet, shook his head, and looked down upon it very much.

He thinks that Xu Shaoliang and Bai Xiaoqin were not married when they were together, if he really likes this personal servant girl, he should give her more and better ones, it's too shabby for the huge Xu family to only give him a silver bracelet!

He found that Xu Yuan was particularly prone to falling into personal emotions, so he had to wake him up: "Let's go, let's go to Xu's mansion."

"Ah? Oh!"

It was a little lucky that the two servants guarding the gate were not the two from that day, and Xu Hai was not there, so Zhao Zenian handed over the invitation in his own name, saying that he had something to see Master Xu.

After a while, a servant came out and led them to the hall.

Along the way, Xu Yuan looked left and right, full of curiosity about the Xu Mansion.

Zhao Zenian looked relaxed, as if he was visiting his own garden. Seeing Xu Yuan's changing expression, he guessed that the guy must be melancholy that he couldn't grow up here, and at the same time envious of the wealth and splendor of Xu's mansion.

He is obviously a man, but he is even more sentimental than a woman!
