Chapter 182: Takaeda
Chapter 182 Gao Zhi
"Don't think about it, go to the door to attract customers. After a while, the shopkeeper comes out and sees you being lazy, and he starts to curse again."
“Alas, I...”
“Farewell to you, Uncle Wan Chang Quan Wan from Wan Mansion is here. Hurry up and greet him.”
“Oh! Let’s go.”
Gu Huayu looked at the door and saw a man in a moon-white gown coming into the store holding a folding fan.
The waiter who was soliciting customers walked towards the door, bowed and said with a smile: "Please, Mr. Wan."
Wan Changquan put away the folding fan in his hand, looked at the waiter sideways and asked, "Has Mr. Lu arrived yet?"
The waiter smiled apologetically and replied: "Here we are, here we are. We are already waiting for Uncle Wan in the private room on the second floor. Please come with me, Uncle Wan."
As he said that, the waiter led the way forward. When he turned around, the waiter couldn't help but look at Gu Huayu again.
Gu Huayu peeled the melon seeds, and caught the waiter's movements in the corner of her clear eyes.
The waiter led Wan Changquan upstairs, to the corner of the stairs, and looked at Gu Huayu again.
The corner of the stairs is facing Gu Huayu. Wan Changquan's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Xianshi's beauty.
The waiter saw Wan Changquan stop and looked up to see him staring at Gu Huayu intently and smiling knowingly. Sure enough, the man couldn't even move his feet when he saw the beauty.
After a while, the waiter shouted: "Uncle Wan, please!"
Wan Changquan came back to his senses and said, "Okay, please, please."
Wan Changquan followed the waiter upstairs, still staring at Gu Huayu.
Without looking at the road, Wan Changquan tripped over the stairs and almost fell.
The waiter reached out to hold a hand and reminded: "Uncle Wan, be careful."
Wan Changquan came to his senses completely and asked: "Whose family does the young lady at that table belong to?"
The waiter shook his head and said, "Back to Mr. Wan, I don't know, but this lady looks unfamiliar. I have never seen her before."
Wan Changquan nodded, "Oh!" He began to make calculations in his mind...
The waiter brought Wan Changquan to Yunping Hall.
Wan Changquan and Lu Zixun exchanged pleasantries and sat down.
After the waiter stepped back, Wan Changquan looked at the door and whispered to Lu Zixun: "Zixun, there is a girl in the lobby downstairs. She has a watery face and is so beautiful."
Lu Zixun suddenly became interested when he heard that there was a beautiful woman downstairs, "Really? Downstairs? I didn't see her when I came here."
Wan Changquan saw that Lu Zixun was very interested and knew that he was on the right track. Said: "Maybe you entered the store after going upstairs. The window facing the corner of the stairs is so beautiful that you can't even move your legs. Really, if you don't believe me, go and take a look."
“It’s so beautiful that you can’t even move your feet? Go take a look.” With that said, Lu Zixun stood up and walked out.
Wan Changquan looked at Lu Zixun's back and reminded: "Be careful, don't let this girl think you are a slut."
Lu Zixun replied as he walked: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Wan Changquan twitched the corners of his mouth, stood up, and walked out slowly.
Lu Zixun went downstairs and looked at the table by the window.
Xiaoxia was serving food to Gu Huayu, blocking Lu Zixun's view.
Lu Zixun held the handrail with both hands and stared at the table by the window, waiting for the waiter to retreat.
Here, Gu Huayu waited for the waiter to retreat, then picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Lu Zixun was so surprised when he saw Gu Huayu that he swallowed his saliva. There were only four words in his mind, beautiful and delicious.
Lu Zixun's actions attracted the attention of people in the lobby, and they all turned to look at Gu Huayu.
The shopkeeper returned to the front hall and saw everyone staring at a girl. Then he looked at the girl's appearance and murmured: "My dear, this is an immortal descending to earth!"
The shopkeeper looked up and saw Lu Zixun on the stairs, and had a bad feeling in his heart. Damn, with this **** here, I'm afraid something will happen today.
The shopkeeper smiled and greeted Lu Zixun: "The second master is here! Xiangzi, hurry up and wait."
The waiter who was serving tea responded: "Yes, Second Master, your private room is ready. Please come with me."
Lu Zixun ignored the waiter, walked to the shopkeeper, waved with his fingers, and asked in a low voice: "Old Zhang, is this girl from nearby? Why haven't I seen her before?"
Shopkeeper Zhang leaned towards Lu Zixun and replied in a low voice: "Back to the second master, this girl looks very unfamiliar. I'm afraid she's not from around here."
Lu Ziqin nodded and said, "I haven't even seen you, so you must not be from around here. There is no maid following you?"
Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head, "I just went to the kitchen, so I don't know. I'll ask you later."
With that said, shopkeeper Zhang waved to Xiangzi, "Come here."
Xiangzi responded and walked over.
Shopkeeper Zhang asked: "Is the girl by the window alone or is she followed?"
Xiangzi leaned forward and said, "Go back to the shopkeeper. The girl came here alone, and no one followed her."
Shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand, "I understand, go ahead and get busy."
Xiangzi bowed and stepped back.
Lu Zixun waved to shopkeeper Zhang, who leaned his head closer.
Lu Zixun said: "Help me find a seat in the lobby, and then help this girl add another dish."
Shopkeeper Zhang nodded knowingly, raised his head, looked around, and said, "Second Master, follow the younger one."
Shopkeeper Zhang led Lu Zixun to an empty table on the left side of the lobby.
“Second Master, the view here is excellent. You can have a panoramic view of the lobby. Are you satisfied, Second Master?”
Lv Zixun looked around, nodded and said, "Well, not bad, this is it. Thank you."
Shopkeeper Zhang leaned forward and said, "Second Master, your words are serious."
Wan Changquan was at the entrance of the stairs. He had not seen Lu Zixun coming up for a long time. He came downstairs to look for Lu Zixun. When he saw shopkeeper Zhang leading Lu Zixun to the wrong floor, he followed him.
"What? The second master is not going back to his private room?" Wan Changquan asked.
Lu Zixun pointed to the seat next to him, motioned for Wan Changquan to sit down, and said: "The private room is too stuffy and boring. It's nice here. You can eat and enjoy the scenery at the same time."
Wan Changquan sat down with a smile, nodded and said, "Well, the second master is right!"
Lu Zixun looked at Gu Huayu and said, "She is truly stunning!"
Wan Changquan looked at Gu Huayu and fanned the flames: "The food looks so beautiful, it makes people's hearts itch. What will it taste like if it is eaten in your mouth?"
Wan Changquan looked at Lu Zixun's expression as he spoke.
Sure enough, Lu Ziqin’s eyes showed greed.
Wan Changquan continued: "The west of the city is the second master's territory. How come the second master doesn't know there is such a beauty?"
Lu Zixun stared at Gu Huayu, "I've never seen him before. Either he's a new arrival or he's not from this area."
Wan Changquan nodded, "None of these are important. What is important is that today, the Second Master has met. What does the Second Master plan to do? Accept it?"
Lu Zixun withdrew his gaze, looked at Wan Changquan, and asked meaningfully: "What do you think?"
Wan Changquan smiled and said: "It is this girl's blessing to be favored by the second master!"
Lu Zixun smiled evilly, "Uncle Wan is my close friend, he understands me best."
Wan Changquan asked with a smile: "Shall the second master carry it back, or keep it outside?"
Lu Zixun looked sideways at Wan Changquan and said, "Since I have taken a liking to him, I naturally want to take him back."
Wan Changquan smiled apologetically, "Yes, that's right. Naturally, such a beauty should be kept in the house to make people feel at ease."
Lu Zixun was in a good mood. He turned his eyes to Gu Huayu again and said, "That's right. What you said about the horses, I think it can be done. Let's discuss it later.
Of course, if you can help me fulfill my current wish... the horse matter is just a matter of words.
I promise that as long as I am here, I will eat all the horses you have. "
Wan Changquan cupped his hands and said, "Second Master is very happy. With Second Master's words, Wan will try his best to fulfill Second Master's wishes."
Lu Zixun poked Wan Changquan's shoulder with a folding fan and said with a smile: "Uncle Wan is a smart man, and I like to deal with smart people.
One thing, let me make it clear first. If the horse is good, you cannot use a bad horse to trick me. "
Wan Changquan responded with an apologetic smile: "Second Master, don't worry about this. Wan guarantees that these horses are definitely of the best quality, and all of them are fat and strong."
In terms of price, if the second master can give a high-quality price, then after the project is completed, Wan Mou can pay the second master this amount for each horse. How about that? "
"Stop it, don't tempt me with money. I have never been short of money since I was a child."
Wan Changquan was afraid of offending Lu Zixun, so he quickly explained: "Wan knows that the second master is never short of money.
However, who doesn’t mind having too much money? The second master keeps the free money and can spend it on his beauties.
Women like to wear beautiful clothes and beautiful accessories. If a beauty like this is dressed up, she will have another look. Right? "
Lv Zixun nodded, "What you said makes sense."
Seeing that Lu Ziqian had listened, Wan Changquan continued, "If a beauty takes money from the second master, she will be more interested in the second master."
Lu Zixun looked at Gu Huayu, as if he saw her in gorgeous clothes thanking him and being obedient to him.
He nodded with a smile and said, "Chang Quan is right. Taipu Temple needs a batch of horses recently. Later, you can pick up a dozen and send them over for everyone to see."
Wan Changquan responded repeatedly: "Okay, Wan will make arrangements later. Don't worry, the second master. I guarantee that the quality and quantity will be maintained, and we will never embarrass the second master."
Lu Zixun pursed his lips toward Gu Huayu and whispered: "Tell me, how can I get this?"
Wan Changquan looked at Gu Huayu and whispered: "When this girl goes out to eat, she doesn't choose a private room, but chooses the lobby.
Either you don’t have enough money, or you don’t know how to get by. In fact, in the final analysis, it is all due to lack of money.
What is the identity of the second master? If she knew the identity of the second master, she would definitely try her best to climb onto the high branch of the second master. "
Lu Zixun's eyebrows were raised when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly, "Chang Quan, your analysis is reasonable. But how can I let her know my identity? I can't just run over and tell her that I am the second master of the British government."
Wan Changquan glanced at Gu Huayu and lowered his voice: "Of course it can't be like this.
Look at the way this girl eats, she is very well-educated and her movements are elegant. "
Lv Zixun nodded and said, "Well, what does this mean?"
Wan Changquan went on to say: "Such a person has a high spirit and a strong temper. He cannot be forceful and has to use detours.
Er Master, you have to make her fall in love with you, let her be fascinated by your majestic grace..."
Lu Zixun suddenly thought of something and said, "Well, Changquan, you are right. I asked shopkeeper Zhang to add another dish to the girl.
Shopkeeper Zhang is very polite and will naturally introduce me to the girl.
I just waited patiently, waiting for the girl to take the initiative to thank me. "
Gu Huayu ate leisurely, listening to the two of them talking while eating. When she heard this, she almost vomited. These two people refreshed her view of people.
Gu Huayu raised her head and glanced at Lu Zixun and Wan Changquan. She didn't understand how Wan Changquan could see Lu Zixun's majestic appearance from his fat body.
Lu Zixun saw Gu Huayu looking over and said excitedly: "Chang Quan, she just looked at me. Do you think she noticed me?"
“I seemed to see her smiling at me.” Lu Zixun continued.
Wan Changquan nodded cooperatively and said, "Yes, Wan also saw her smiling at the second master."
Shopkeeper Zhang walked to Gu Huayu's table carrying the dishes, leaned over and said, "Miss, Mr. Lu asked me to give this to the girl."
Gu Huayu raised her head to look at the jiaoliu meatballs on the tray and asked, "Who is Mr. Lu? I don't know him?"
Shopkeeper Zhang pointed sideways at Lu Zixun, who was high up on the left, and said with a bit of flattery: "The man sitting over there, wearing indigo brocade clothes, is Mr. Lu from the British Government."
Gu Huayu looked at Lu Zixun, and Lu Zixun quickly waved to Gu Huayu.
Gu Huayu looked away, pointed at the dishes on the table and said to shopkeeper Zhang, "I'm sorry, I'm full."
Shopkeeper Zhang advised: "This is Mr. Lu's wish. Miss, at least try it."
Gu Huayu said in embarrassment: "But I really can't eat any more."
As she spoke, Gu Huayu turned around and looked around, and saw a beggar across the street leaning against a tree and not knowing what to think.
Gu Huayu stood up, took a gold nugget from her purse, put it on the table, and said, "This is the money for today's meal. No need to change it. I think he is quite hungry. I will thank the beggar for the meatball." Mr. Lu."
Speaking, Gu Huayu took the meatballs from shopkeeper Zhang's hand.
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the gold coins on the table in a daze. This was the first time he met someone who paid gold for meals.
Similarly petrified are Lu Zixun and Wan Changquan on the high left.
Lu Zixun watched Gu Huayu take the dishes from shopkeeper Zhang, and was extremely excited waiting for Gu Huayu to come to him to thank him.
Unexpectedly, Gu Huayu brought the dishes out of Guiyun Pavilion and gave the plate of dishes to the beggar across the street.
The beggar stood up in shock. After listening to Gu Huayu's words, he turned to look at the store and bowed to Lu Zixun to thank him.
Lu Zixun's face changed wonderfully. He was so angry that his flesh trembled slightly. He pointed at the door and asked, "Chang Quan, what does she mean?"
Wan Changquan came back to his senses during Lu Zixun's question, and his mind started spinning rapidly.
“Second Master, don’t calm down. The beggar bows to Second Master to thank him.”
Lu Zixun cursed: "Damn it, I want a beggar to thank you with a hammer."
In order to get the opportunity to donate horses to Taipus Temple, Wan Changquan tried his best to get close to Lu Zixun.
It was hard to make Lu Zixun happy today. Just after he was relieved, Lu Zixun was annoyed again before the matter was settled.
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly, Wan Changquan was going crazy with anxiety.
With a smile on his face, he comforted him and said, "Second Master, don't be impatient. You need to listen to what Wan has to say first."
“You mean, what are you doing grinding like a girl?” Lu Zixun opened his mouth and complained.
This is the first time in his life that Wan Changquan was called a bitch, and the anger in his heart surged up.
