Xiliang Iron Ride

Chapter 569 IOU

The food in Fenglailou is really good, the service is meticulous, and Xu You's food is also very comfortable, especially wine, which tastes much better than that in Jizhou. I just don't know what the price is. Thinking that he has brought enough money, Xu You is also relieved a lot, but he sees a group of big soldiers eating oily. , siping wine and the spirits in Fenglai Building, my heart couldn't help trembling slightly. If I had known it, I wouldn't have invited these soldiers to dinner. What a waste.

After a long time, the group of people finally finished eating. Except for Xu You's table, the other four tables were all in a mess and unsightly.

"Accounting." Xu You burped with satisfaction.

The three maids came in a hurry when they heard the words. After some calculation, the maid said, "Your Majesty, it's a total of 300,000 yuan."

Xu You almost didn't swallow it in one breath, and his face turned red. He repeated, "300,000 yuan? Is it correct?" Even if Xu You has a lot of family resources, he is not generous enough to eat 300,000 yuan for a meal.

After all, it was such a big account. When the maid heard the words, she lowered her head and calculated it again. She raised her head and said, "It's exactly 300,000 yuan."

When the guards next to him heard these words, their faces turned pale one by one. They ate 300,000 yuan a meal. They may not be able to make so much money in their lives. Unconsciously, they need so much for a meal.

The general came forward and said, "Is it possible that the restaurant bullied us as guests from other places and deliberately raised the price?"

Xu You nodded slightly and said, "I'm the guest of the general. Let your shopkeeper come out."

After all, 300,000 yuan is a lot. The maid doesn't care if she makes a conclusion without permission. What's more, it is the distinguished guest of the general who chisel the dialect. This alone should not be underestimated. If you accidentally provoke the one above, maybe the building will close down the next day.

Seeing that there were changes in the restaurant, many guests who ate came out to see who they were.

After a moment, Feng Yalian moved gently and walked down from the third floor of the restaurant.

When Xu You saw Fengya, he was suddenly a little stunned. He was tall and smiling. Every step made people feel so comfortable and could not pick out any problems. What surprised Xu You was his elegant appearance. With a smile, he could seduce people to think infinitely. Such a character turned out to be the owner of the restaurant, Xu You's big My brain is a little short-circuited. I really want to pay generously and make a good impression on the beauty, but I thought that I brought so much money when I went out. After being generous, the group was waiting to drink the northwest wind. Looking at the reaction of the restaurant maid just now, as long as Jia Rong's name is reported, the owner of the restaurant will definitely give some face. Maybe Because of his identity as a messenger, what can happen to the owner of the restaurant? Such a role is rare even in Jizhou.

"I don't know what questions this distinguished guest has? When a small shop opens to do business, it pays attention to the word "integrity". It has always been a child without deception, and there is also a certain reputation in the city. Everyone present can be a witness. Although the elegant tone is plain, it is full of a faint anger.

The onlookers were pointing out and discussing, listening carefully, mostly accusing Xu You's words.

"I'm a guest of the general. I heard that Fenglailou is quite famous. I came to taste it, but I didn't expect it to cost 300,000 yuan for a meal." When it comes to this meal, Xu You couldn't help it.

Fengya said to the maid beside him, "What did these guests eat? Tell them the truth."

After a while, Fengya said, "Guest, there is no calculation error. Fifteen bottles of wine cost 120,000 yuan, and there are so many meals. Your guard broke a moonlight cup, and the shop didn't care about it."

Fifteen bottles of wine cost 120,000 yuan, which is already very fair in the Fenglai Building. It is also the same price for familiar guests to eat and drink. What's more, the price of the moonlight cup is not low. For a time, all the reasons are occupied by the elegant party. The rest of the diners have accused Xu You of being wrong. If it hadn't for Xu You's general guests. The identity has not been so polite for a long time.

"If you can't afford it, don't come to the building. You think anyone can enter this place. Before the next meal, ask for the price first, so as not to be unable to pay in the end, which is ridiculous." A guest said.

The guests who can enter and exit the Fenglai Building are both rich and noble, and have a certain reputation in the city.

Xu You's face turned red, and he didn't say that he was a messenger of Jizhou. It would only be more humiliating. In this way, if others don't know their identity, it's okay to expose the matter.

Gathering all the money together is only nearly 100,000 yuan, and Xu You attracted a burst of ridicule.

"If you are a distinguished guest of the general, you can make an IOU." He said coldly in an elegant tone that after such a disturbance, more people gathered, which was a very bad impact on the business of the restaurant.

Xu You asked how to write an IOU. After that, he left with a group of guards. He didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.

Fengya put away the IOU and said some decent words. The onlookers dispersed, but Xu You became the laughingstock in Chang'an City.

Xu You thought that no one knew his identity. Today, the name of the Jizhou messenger has long been widely spread in the city, and now such a thing has happened. The rumors about this Jizhou messenger spread in Chang'an.

Walking out of the windy building, there was a cold wind blowing on his face. Xu You couldn't help shrinking his head into his clothes and said secretly, "Now that you are shy, do you have to sleep on the street?"

The general seemed to see the difficulty of Xu You and came forward and said softly, "Your Excellency, when we left the general's mansion, the general once said that he would arrange food and accommodation for us. If it's not too dark, go back to rest as soon as possible. After all, it's the general's intention, and it's hard to refuse."

Xu You pondered for a moment and said slowly, "It makes sense. You can't live up to the general's kindness. We're going to the general's mansion, and you will be responsible for this matter."

The general bowed and said that Xu You was the leader, and it was impossible to do such a shameful thing. His status was low and he didn't care so much. He couldn't eat as a meal. The sky was approaching dusk. If he slept on the street, his face would only be even bigger.

Fortunately, the general in the general's mansion did not embarras Xu You. He still arranged accommodation for him and brought food, which made Xu You secretly relieved.

Thinking of the IOU in the hand of the beautiful woman, Xu You's head was a little big. He really wanted to redeem the IOU. He only hoped that after seeing Jia Rong, he would quickly leave Chang'an and leave the place of right and wrong after conveying Yuan Shao's meaning.

Like the major families of the Han Dynasty, there are many businessmen doing business in Chang'an in Jizhou. Among them, the Zhen family in Jizhou is the most popular and the closest to Chang'an. Many merchants in Jizhou rely on the doorway of the Zhen family to be able to do business in Chang'an. Yuan Shao can only open up on this. With one eye closed, he is also from a family. With this level of convenience, many things have been done smoothly. The Zhen family and other families have a great reputation in Jizhou. Even Yuan Shao does not dare to criticize too much. The big fist is the hard truth, but we also need to consider the consequences after the fist is waved.

Yuan Shao is naturally not willing to lag behind. There is also the Yuan family's property in Chang'an City, but Xu You did not dare to borrow it and spread it to Jizhou. Compared with the loss of money and fame, it is more regrettable. He is a literati and cares more about reputation. It can only be blamed that Jia Rong for not receiving him and pretending, otherwise how could such a thing happen?

Xu You was really wrong to blame Jia Rong. At that time, Jia Rong was in the barracks. When he got the news when he returned to the general's mansion, he also wanted to meet Xu You the next day. After all, after successive battles, the Xiliang army also needed a period of easing. The Xiliang army was very bordered by Jizhou, and Zhuo County in Youzhou was the first to bear the short time. There will only be small conflicts and no big wars. Jia Rong will not sit back and watch Youzhou Zhuo County fall into Yuan Shao's hands.

The next day, Xu You asked to see you again.

"Lord Xu came from afar from Jizhou. I don't know what's going on?" Jia Rong asked bluntly. The more Jizhou sent the messenger, the more he would show indifference. After all, Yuan Shao was the leader of the allied forces in the previous war, and Jia Rong was more or less angry.

Xu You did not dare to neglect. When he came, Yuan Shao urged him in every way. When he saw Jia Rong, he must show due etiquette. "General, the subordinate was ordered by the lord to come to discuss reconciliation with the Xiliang army. At that time, Cao Cao cleverly confused the master so that the master was deceived, so that there was something related to Hangu. I hope the general can clearly understand."

Jia Rong said lightly, "Oh, is there such a situation?" In my heart, I don't think so. For the sake of profit, the princes can fight against each other, regardless of the righteousness and the life and death of the people. If the Xiliang army is defeated in Hangu Pass and the allied army wins, the whole world is probably all unfavorable remarks to the Xiliang army. Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser has no chance to change anything.

Xu You hurriedly said, "That's right. Cao Cao's frame-up of the general is shameless. The subordinates have long hated him to the bone. When they see him, they will eat his meat and drink his blood."

"Lord Xu is really an ancient Taoist. If he sees Cao Cao's messenger, he will definitely tell him all these words."

Xu You was shocked. Seeing that Jia Rong's expression was just a joke, he was relieved. After all, Jia Rong's identity was there. How could the general fall into reality randomly?

"The general joked. The lord sent me here this time, but he was full of sincerity. I hope the general can agree for the people under the rule of the two armies." Jia Rong is famous for thinking about the people in the world. Xu You expects to say such words. For his own feathers, Jia Rong will reluctantly agree.

Who knew that Jia Rong sneered and said, "The Xiliang Army is different from the Jizhou Army. How can you know that the war is not for the people to completely return to normal life. Don't try to convince anything with justice. I'm afraid the people under the rule of this general have nothing to do with the people under the rule of Yuan Shao."
