Chapter 152 The Doubtful Shop Second
The most prosperous land in Kyushu is Southeast Yangzhou. Yangzhou is north of Bodang, south of Xuzhou, with flat terrain and fertile land. The river and Huai water rushed into the sea through this, so it got its name because of the water and light waves in the world. Among the four major cities in Yangzhou, the most prosperous city is Guangling City.
Guangling City is known as the first city in Kyushu, and it is not a false reputation. It is a huge city with a radius of hundreds of miles and the largest of all cities in Kyushu. And every spring, the flowers here are like brocade, the misty rain, like a fairyland on earth, which is extremely beautiful. Even at night, the city is still full of people and bright lights. It brings together tourists from all over Kyushu, often holding banquets and chanting the wind and moon. Since you drink, you must be accompanied by beautiful women. The brothel in Guangling City opened much earlier than Yuzhang City, and there are more. It is the highest in Kyushu, and there are many foreigners coming here.
While there are brothes, there are also ordinary inns. There are more than a dozen inns in Guangling City, the largest and most elegant of which is Changle Inn.
Changle Inn is located near the post station, with convenient transportation. Many outsiders came to Guangling City and saw Changle Inn at first glance, because these are two opposite five-story buildings. The south building is the inn and the north building is the restaurant. Among the many inns in Guangling City, it can be said to be the only one.
At this time, in the north building, the second child of a shop on the first floor was looking at a man drinking alone from time to time. As a clerk in Changle Inn, you can't look at guests with that kind of eyes. However, in the eyes of the second child of the store, the guest was really acting strangely.
Early in the morning, as soon as the restaurant opened, he walked to the door of the restaurant, looked at it, nodded, and walked in. Looking at his appearance and clothes, the second child of the store thought that he would go straight to the third floor, or even the fourth floor, because the third floor is the favorite of dignitaries and princes. The first floor is just a gathering place for ordinary people and tourists. Unexpectedly, the man went straight to a table by the window and sat down, ordered a few dishes, asked for a pot of wine, and began to drink.
Half a day passed, and it was noon. The dishes on the man's table did not move, but were full of wine pots. But looking at the man, his face did not change, his breath, and his eyes were clear, as if he had never drunk, so that the shopkeeper had to smack his drinking capacity.
What puzzled the second child of the store was that at this time, the end of the year was approaching. The people who came to the inn were either the tourists gathered together or the princes of Guangling City. The man came here alone to drink wine, but his behavior was strange.
In fact, it is no wonder that Xiao Er came here to drink, but to inquire about the news. If you want to know what relatively large businesses are in Guangling City, the easiest place to know is in the restaurant. There are many people coming and going on the first floor, and there are many people. Naturally, it is the man's first choice. Although he has been drinking, the movement on the whole first floor can't escape his ears. Even the shopkeeper kept staring at him, which was keenly discovered by him. However, even as a true person, you can't control a person's curiosity, can you? Therefore, the easiest way to deal with a curious shopkeeper is to turn a blind eye.
At this point, this person must have been blurted out. Yes, it's Linshang!
Linshang frowned and drank the last sip of wine in the lake, sighed slightly and smiled bitterly. After staying in the inn for a long time, I didn't hear any useful news. On the whole first floor, we talked about where to go during the Spring Festival, or about the business next year, or the nonsense of the seven aunts and eight aunts, and even two obscene guests whispered about finding a red girl in Yihongyuan... ...Yihongyuan? When you hear the name, you know that it is a place where it will be double-regulated in the previous life.
However, this time it is not without harvest. At least, after drinking this morning, Lin Chang knew that she had become more drunk. If she had been a barrel before, she had now grown into a wine jar.
"The second child in the store is still looking at me. Are you so curious? Look at me again, and I will eat you!"
The afterglow of Linshang's eyes swept over to the store Xiaoer and looked at himself again. He spit out a few words, and then stunned.
"Stupid! I've been sitting here all morning. Has someone's shopkeeper for a few years to stay here? If there is the best-informed person in this inn, it must be the second child in this shop!"
patted his head, put down the empty wine pot in his hand, and turned his head to look at the shop's second child before he was about to speak. A Nuo's voice sounded beside him.
"Uh, why are you drinking here?"
Lin Shang turned his head and saw an old man with black and white hair looking at himself with an uneasy and surprised face. It was Liu Xiangzhen's brother Liu Gushan.
"Ah, Uncle Shi, my little nephew came here to find someone. Where's Uncle Shi? The end of the year is approaching. Why did you still come to Guangling from Huiji City? Lin Shang knew that Liu Gushan didn't know his name, but on such an occasion, he did not dare to call himself immortal. He quickly stood up and changed the topic.
The wrinkles on Liu Gushan's face shook a few times and said with a smile, "The end of the year is approaching. Let's take a look at the business in Guangling City, my nephew alone?"
"It turned out that it was to inspect the work performance of subordinates."
Linshang nodded and said, "Well, this time it's only my little nephew."
Liu Gushan looked at the wine and dishes in front of Lin Shang, frowned slightly, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "If my nephew doesn't mind, he will go upstairs and sit with me. These are all giants in Guangling City, and there are no outsiders."
When Linshang heard this, she instinctively wanted to refuse, and she had to go to the second child of the store to inquire about the news. Where can I always drink with you? But when I heard the word "Giant Jia", my eyes lit up. If anyone is most familiar with the merchants in Guangling City, it is naturally the merchants themselves. After all, they are in a circle, either partners or competitors. You can know if there are any merchants. Thinking about it, he bowed his hand with a smile and said, "Uncle, please. Naturally, the little nephew can't refuse, so let's bother Uncle Shi."
Liu Gushan waved his hand repeatedly and said with a smile, "My nephew is polite. Let's go to the fourth floor with us.
With that, regardless of the giants of Guangling City behind him, he affectionately pulled Lin Shang up.
The four old men who originally followed Liu Gushan were full of surprise. They were all curious about the identity of the young man, which could make the business giant Liu Gushan treat him so affectionately. Is it Liu Gushan's illegitimate child? The four looked at each other, but didn't say anything. The people who could stand out in this smokeless competition were not stupid people. Naturally, they knew what to say and what not to say. Liu Gushan didn't say anything, and they didn't ask much, so they could only put their curiosity in their stomachs and follow them upstairs.
When the store's little two saw an old man pulling up the strange man and left, he was so anxious that he had to come forward to stop the overlord meal, er, the overlord's drinking behavior, but when he saw the four people following the old man, his face suddenly changed and he was stunned.
I don't know who the old man is, but the four people behind him are familiar. Those four people control the four major industries of Guangling City. They have a great reputation and everyone knows the whole Guangling City. However, they are now honestly following an old man, like naughty children who have seen their parents. No matter who the old man is, he is definitely a very high-ranking person, at least higher than those four. If a person with a high status treats a young prince so affectionately, isn't this prince a higher status? People like them will certainly not pay for a drink.
The shopkeeper turned his head and watched the six people disappear at the stairs and took a long breath. If you just go up and ask the prince for money for wine, I'm afraid your rich career will come to an end. When that happened, I'm afraid that no inn or restaurant dares to hire itself in Guangling City.
However, who is the prince?
