Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Stop talking!" Guo Ye hurriedly blocked Shangchuan Meizi's mouth, and scolded in a low voice: "You Sang people are so open about matters between men and women? How can such a topic be discussed on the street!"

Meizi stuck out her tongue, and said: "Who told you to snub him. It turns out that the dragon and the tiger are fierce, and they don't stop tossing him all night. It's been half a year now, and I haven't touched a single finger of him. How can you let him go?" think?"

"Then..." Guo Ye knew he was wrong, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this, let's find a restaurant for dinner."

"It's okay to eat, but...you have to take me to the biggest restaurant in Banqiao Town and enjoy it."

"It's easy. The largest restaurant in Banqiao Town is called Tinghailou. I've been to this place before."

"Also ask my husband to lead the way."

The group of people walked for less than a quarter of an hour before they arrived at Tinghai Tower. Guo Ye was about to go in, but was stopped by the clerk at the door, saying: "Old customer, don't go in."

Guo Ye frowned and said, "What? You heard that Hailou's business is very good. It's full today?"

The clerk politely explained: "I'm really sorry for this old customer. It's not that it's full today, but someone booked us in Tinghai Building. If you have an invitation, I'll let you in. If you don't have an invitation card, I'm sorry, and I ask you to go up a step and go to another house to see."

"Been taken over by someone? Then I won't make it difficult for you... Let's go." Guo Ye is not an unreasonable person, he turned around and wanted to leave.

It's just that Yang Fengyi was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so she grabbed Guo Ye with her hand and said, "No, I want to have dinner in Tinghai Tower today, husband, please think of a way. We sisters, leave our hometown to be with you Returning to Datang. Originally, I hoped to enjoy the good food and spicy food with you. It is too disappointing to be kicked out of this first meal."

Meizi Shangchuan said: "That's right, that's right. You are not in good health, and Meizi can bear it. You have to discount every meal, and Meizi can't bear it. When the time comes, Meizi will be red and apricot..."

"Stop talking! We will definitely be able to eat at Tinghailou today!"

Guo Ye was so squeezed by Yang Fengyi and Meizi that he had no choice but to tell the clerk: "I said, brother clerk, you have also seen that the wives in my family... well, as the saying goes, a family has a good wife, a man Don't do unreasonable things. I have these prodigal girls in my family, so I can only be unreasonable."

"What on earth do you want to do? This old customer... don't do anything stupid, we heard that Hailou is not easy to mess with."

"Don't be afraid, buddy. I want to ask you something. How much will it cost for you to listen to Hailou for a day?"

The man stretched out a finger and said, "This number!"

"Ten thousand strings?"

"Old customer, you really know how to joke. We listen to Hailou as a serious business, not a black shop. To be honest, including food and drink, a total of [-] yuan can cover us listening to Hailou for a day."

Guo Ye nodded and said, "One thousand guan? That's not expensive. Dude, let me discuss something with you. I'll pay you two thousand guan for a day at Tinghailou. Make him another [-] guan, and let him go to another place to book the venue. In total, I will give you [-] guan, let us go in and eat."

"Four thousand strings? You are really rich. That would be [-] catties in gold. You only have six people in total. Even if you use gold to cook for you, we will all make a lot of money."

"So you agreed?"

The guy shook his head and said, "No, I absolutely did not agree. This old customer is not about money at all..."

"I pay [-] guan!"

"This... It's really not about money. To tell you the truth, we can't afford to mess with the guests who came to us to listen to the Hailou private room today. No matter how much money you pay, this matter is not negotiable .”

"Then can you tell me, who is booking the venue today?"

"Say it out and scare you to death. The one who asked us to listen to Hailou is the third master of our Mizhou Prefecture. How about it? Are you scared?"

"The third master? Which third master?"

"You don't even know Mr. Wang? It's Wang Shipu, Mr. Wang." Seeing Guo Ye's blank eyes, the man lowered his voice and said, "This Mr. Wang is a serious businessman on the surface, but in fact he is a serious businessman." He is the head of the underworld in Mizhou Prefecture. We heard that the shopkeeper of Hailou is a serious businessman, how dare he offend this kind of person? No matter how much money you give, I dare not let you book the venue today."

When the buddy talked about this, Guo Ye was in a different situation. He spent a lot of money for the beauty, and he did it unequivocally.But to bully a poor guy for a beauty, Guo Ye is not so cheap.

At this moment, a big fat man in satin came over and said, "Hello, little brother. Do you want to enter Wanghai Tower without an invitation?"

"good."

"That's easy!" The fat man stretched out his hand from his arms, took out a handful of invitation cards, counted out six invitation cards, and handed them to Guo Ye, saying, "Here you are!"

Guo Ye was puzzled and said, "This old man? Do we know each other?"

"I've never known each other."

"Then why..." Guo Ye raised the invitation in his hand and said, "Why are you so kind to Guo?"

"Come here with your ear!"

Guo Ye leaned forward, only to hear the big fat man whispering in his ear: "I followed you just now, and I heard what your little concubine said on the street! To tell you the truth, we share the same disease, we have sympathy for each other... ..."

Chapter 1658

"Same...sickness and sympathy?"

"Hush... Keep your voice down, what should you do if someone else hears you. I said brother, I understand your pain. You can understand even if you don't want to admit it. But, who is this score related to, and what is the relationship between us? Patient friends! Then you have to help each other. Brother, don’t be polite to the old brother, these invitations are for you to take and you can take them... Don’t compete, let outsiders see our jokes.”

"Then... alright! Then I'll thank you, old brother." Guo Ye thought to himself, for the sake of the beauty's happiness, it's okay to admit that his ability in that area is not good. Anyway, he put on makeup, and no one knows him.

"That's right, let's go in together."

"Brother, please go first."

Back when Guo Ye was negotiating with the patriarchs of the five great noble families in Banqiao Town, he had been to Tinghai Tower and was quite familiar with it.

Tinghai Tower is divided into three floors, ordinary people usually spend on the first floor.If you want to go to the second floor, you have to have some status.As for those who can get to the third floor, they are either rich or expensive.Of course, this is not to say that Tinghai Building can also verify the identity of guests, but that the meals provided on the three floors are different, and the prices are even more different.

Although Tinghai Building was booked out by Wang Shipu this time, the food provided on the third floor was the same as before.To say that this big fat man really has face, with a few invitations, he directly brought Guo Ye and others to the third floor.

The area on the top floor is very large, even if two or 300 people can be seated at the same time, there is no problem.At this time, there were not many guests yet, Guo Ye and his party found an empty table and sat down, and a guy offered fragrant tea.

Guo Ye cupped his hands and said, "I'm a merchant from Goguryeo, surnamed Guo Mingye. This old man, I haven't asked you how to address him yet."

"My surname is Wang and my name is Yu Cai. Others call me Fatty Wang. You can call me that too."

"How can I do that? I'll call you Brother Wang."

"That's fine too."

"Brother Wang, I want to ask you something."

"what's up?"

"I just heard from a buddy that today there is a man named Wang Shipu who has taken over Tinghailou. Then, I would like to ask Brother Wang, why is this Wang Shipu entertaining guests today?"

"To be honest... I don't know either!"

"You...you don't know?" Guo Ye asked suspiciously: "No way, if you don't have a deep friendship with Wang Shipu, how could you take out so many invitations at random? Besides, there is no Reason?"

"To tell you the truth, Wang Shipu and I have never met each other even though we have the same surname, and we have no friendship at all. Just a few days ago, Wang Shipu sent ten invitations to my home, asking me to I must go to the banquet today. Think about it, Wang Shipu is a gangster, so I dare not come?"

Guo Ye frowned and said, "Ten invitations? So, Wang Shipu is going to invite ten people. Why are you the only one here?"

"I'm also surprised. I, Wang Yucai, am the only son. I don't have any brothers and sisters. I have quite a few buddies, but they have no reason to eat at the same table with me. So I don't need these ten invitations at all. What a waste. It’s a coincidence, brother, you want to have dinner at Ting Hailou, so I even gave you six invitations. How about it? Interesting enough.”
