Chapter 128.1: 友人
[Friends]
Although Liang Hua City is not a big city, it has always been a prosperous place due to its proximity to Capital and the major transport routes (vital communication lines) of the provinces.
In the past, the news that circulated in Liang Hua City was the gossip that flowed in (take delight in talking about; dwell upon with great relish) from the outside, or the small things that happened around us, but now the most talked about thing in Liang Hua City is the Gu family that was once wiped out.
The only surviving only son of the Gu family, not only has he returned as a scholar, but he has also married a husband and dealt with the Chen and Zhao families, and has taken back all of the family’s original properties, becoming a newly appointed high official in the city.
While people are talking about this incident, they are also interested in the Gu family’s couple, especially after learning that the son of the Gu family has taken back his family’s original properties and handed them over to his Fu Lang to do business, and even did a good job, his interest in his Fu Lang has increased.
Both people in the city and people outside the city have great curiosity about Gu family’s Fu Lang, so after knowing that the husband and wife of the family will often visit the shop, these curious people will go to the shop and wait for a glimpse of them, which indirectly makes the business in the shop much better.
In the snowy street, the sound of horses’ hooves came from far and near, and finally stopped outside the most gorgeous three-storey restaurant in the city, and then soon the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and out of it stepped a pale-skinned gentleman who looked like Pan An [Pān Ān [潘安] (referring to a historical figure said to be extremely handsome)].
When that gentleman landed, he turned back to look at the red-clothed little Ger who came out of the carriage with a gentle look. The moment that little Ger landed, he smiled at him lightly and took his hand, and then the two of them walked towards the building together.
The pedestrians in the distance, looking at the charming appearance of the two, could not help but sigh, “Whose carriage is this? How did he come up with such a handsome Gong Zi?”
The person next to him glanced at the two people who had already entered the shop under the compliments of the waiter, and couldn’t help but snort a laugh, “You even don’t know these two, they are the famous Gu’s husband and wife in Liang Hua City!”
Hearing his friend’s words, the questioner’s face inevitably took on a bit of envy and sighed, “When I originally heard of their great names, I only thought that they were only famous, but not very good in person. Now, it seems that I have underestimated them, they can really be called the Dragon and Phoenix {prominent talent} amongst people, no wonder they can get the shop back after avenging his father’s death.”
“No.” The friend glanced at the three-storey restaurant, and his tone was also filled with envy, “What a difficult character Master Zhao is (to deal with)! Not only did they make him plead guilty, but they also got back his family’s property and became a new nobleman in a single leap, what an unbelievable thing!”
“Yes ah, if only I could have such a miraculous encounter, I wouldn’t be that greedy, I don’t need to be as rich as the Zhao family, just a little bit richer than them.”
“I think you are still faster than a dream.”
The two of them were fighting all the way back in the direction of their home, and the place where the carriage had just been parked, there were only a few shallow tracks left covered by the snow that slowly drifted down from the sky.
Gu Lang and Chen Xing, who had just entered the shop, were greeted by the shopkeeper as soon as they entered the shop, who then took them directly to the room reserved for them on the third floor.
The room was covered with thick carpet, and there was a charcoal fire that had been prepared long ago. As soon as they entered, they could feel that the temperature inside the shop was much higher than outside.
After the shopkeeper brought people into the room, saw that they did not have the intention to immediately sit down, immediately smiled at them, courteously asked: “Big boss, Little boss, what do you want to eat later? We call the chef to prepare.”
Chen Xing thought of what he said before he left the house, looked at the shopkeeper who was still waiting for his answer, and smiled and said, “We want to eat hot pot later.”
Upon hearing this name, the shopkeeper’s face immediately lifted up a smile, nodded towards Chen Xing, and couldn’t stop saying, “Okay, little boss, I know. It’s just that nowadays we have a few more soup base hot pots, I don’t know what kind of hot pot that little boss wants.”
“Oh?” Chen Xing heard the shopkeeper say so, then surprises surfaced in his eyes. This hot pot, for a period of time, he looked at the cold weather, specially formulated out of the food, to sell it in the restaurant also very popular, did not think that in that short period of time, this chef actually ‘cited one against three, and made a different flavor’ (draw inference about other cases from one instance; learn by analogy).
At once, Chen Xing became interested, he turned his head to look at Gu Lang and said to him: “I will go to the kitchen to see this new soup base, can you wait for me here?”
Gu Lang listened to Chen Xing’s words, smiled at him and nodded, then said in a warm voice: “Good, around this period of time you should read the books, you go ba!”
Hearing Gu Lang said so, Chen Xing also put his heart in ease, this restaurant, although in their arrangement luxury than the usual restaurant, the temperature inside is also higher than the outside, but in general is still a little cold, he is the most assured, if Gu Lang can stay in the room, Therefore, Chen Xing advised Gu Lang several times, telling him that it is okay to read those books slowly, and that they do not lack that much time anyway.
Gu Lang answered all of Chen Xing’s instructions, and then saw Chen Xing off.
When Chen Xing followed the shopkeeper downstairs, the shopkeeper only looked at Chen Xing and lamented: “The relationship between the little boss and the big boss, still that good ah!”
Chen Xing smiled and did not say anything.
The shopkeeper did not say anything more, but respectfully led Chen Xing down the stairs.
When they came to the hall on the ground floor, they found that there stood a Gong Zi wearing a white cloak, he was followed by two skilled guards, who were now talking to the waiter in the room. The waiter in the room was showing a difficult face, as if the guest in front of him had put forward some requests that he could not fulfill.
