Dressed as Tang Bohu

"Ji Tong!" Tang Ziwei lifted the curtain, and saw Ji Tong's small body hanging in the air, fighting bravely with the man who was carrying him.

Ji Tong clenched his hands into fists, screamed and beat the guy desperately.

The faces of the guy and the cook behind him were all black. The kid ran in at some point, and when he was discovered, he just scolded and howled immediately.The man wanted to get him out, but he was beaten a few times as soon as he picked him up, and then he saw Tang Ziwei come in after the curtain was lifted, making him look like a villain, and the scene was extremely embarrassing.

The clerk met Tang Ziwei's sharp gaze, and felt bitterness in his mouth, "My guest officer, I didn't do anything to this young master..."

"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Yang De came out from the inner door with two jugs of wine. Seeing this, he burst into a smile on his face, and then reprimanded the guy: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up?" Return the young master to others!"

Tang Ziwei stood at the same place and watched the waiter hurriedly hand over Ji Tong, snorted softly, took Ji Tong over and hugged him.Only then did Ji Tong calm down, his small face was straight on the floor, only the eye sockets were still red.

Yang De accompanied him with a smile, and handed the two pots of wine to Zhu Zhishan who was behind him: "Young Master Zhu, your two pots of wine cost a total of six coins and silver taels."

"Two pots and six coins?" Zhu Zhishan was surprised.It's not that I've never seen such an expensive wine, it's just that I've never seen a pot of wine in an ordinary tavern cost more than one penny. ?

Yang De nodded, the expression on his face was perfect.

However, Zhu Chenhao misunderstood Zhu Zhishan's tone, recalling the information he had heard saying that Tang Ziwei's family was running out of money, so he quickly took out a piece of silver from his purse and handed it to Yang De, "This is a tael, there is no need to look for it." .”

Yang De weighed the silver in his hand, flipped his hand and put it into his sleeve, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is generous, I thank you very much. It's just that this place is the back kitchen. If you have nothing else to do, please move on." to the outer hall."

Tang Ziwei withdrew his gaze and retreated from the inside.But they didn't stay outside, and they left directly through the tavern, and arrived at Tang Kee Restaurant across the street.

There were no customers in the Tang family's restaurant at this time, only Tang Shen was sitting at the door worryingly with an unhappy expression on his face.

Only then did Tang Ziwei put Ji Tong down and asked Tang Shen to get the wine glasses, and they sat down around the table.Ji Tong stood aside obediently, spreading his white and tender hands to show off his achievements.

"I went to the stove house as my son said, and found that there was another door leading to the backyard. There were many large wine jars in the yard. When I went, someone was pouring something into the wine jars with a small porcelain bottle. At his feet A piece of sackcloth was spread out, and a lot of this powder was drying on it. When the door behind me suddenly opened, I was startled, so I grabbed a handful and ran back.”

The pinch of powder in Ji Tong's hand was fine and grayish brown.Tang Ziwei pinched a little bit with his fingers and sniffed it in front of his nose. There was an almost non-existent smell mixed with the smell of sunlight, making it difficult to distinguish anything special.

Tang Ziwei hesitated for a moment, then put his finger into his mouth.

Both Zhu Chenhao and Zhu Zhishan were looking at the powder, and when Tang Ziwei tasted it without paying attention, they were a little nervous.

"Why did you eat it? What if it's poisonous? It's not easy to provoke."

Zhu Zhishan threw the powder on his clothes to wipe his hands, pinched his mustache, and kept looking at Tang Ziwei's face.After a while, he asked, "How is it?"

Tang Ziwei smacked his lips, and then his face changed suddenly.

"Hmm..." He suddenly grabbed his front lapel, lowered his head in front of the table,

At first, Zhu Chenhao was holding the powder as if he wanted to talk to him, but when he saw his behavior, he was so frightened that he threw the powder out of his hand, and jumped up from his seat!The two guards also stepped forward quickly, looking alert.

Zhu Zhishan was also unsteady, he sat close, reacted very quickly, took Tang Ziwei into his arms with one step, raised his face with one hand, and was about to put his fingers into his mouth to rescue him.

Tang Ziwei quickly turned his head, spit out the powder in his mouth twice, stared over with restrained eyes, and stopped.

Zhu Zhishan let go of his hand, sat back on his chair, clasped the folding fan on the table with his hand, knocked on it one after another, his eyes drifted obliquely from the corner of his eyes, "Tang Ziwei, is it fun?"

Tang Ziwei licked the corner of his mouth, the tip of his tongue still had a slight numbness, and the familiar yet slightly different taste smeared in his mouth, and he felt hesitant for a moment.

He smiled slightly, and cupped his hands to the prince who was still standing beside him: "I was just joking, I'm sorry to have surprised the prince."

Zhu Chenhao didn't want to accept his apology, Shi Zi felt that he had lost face by reacting so badly and was very unhappy.So he sat down with a stinky face, and finally said nothing.It's just that his eyes wandered around Zhu Zhishan for a while, and then stopped on Tang Ziwei's face.

In fact, Zhu Chenhao didn't think there was anything wrong with his reaction at first, but after seeing Zhu Zhishan, he felt inexplicably unhappy.Why is his first reaction not to jump away but to move closer?Zhu Chenhao turned his head and glanced at his two guards, they were there for money and life, so why Zhu Zhishan?

Best friend?

Zhu Chenhao puffed his mouth, but immediately put away that look, and sat with a straight face.He has friends that you don't, and you have courtiers and guards that he doesn't, and that's only fair.I'm not envious at all...

This side is still minding inexplicable things, while Zhu Zhishan has already opened the next chapter.

He didn't see any Taoism from those powders, but he was very interested in the taste of this wine.He lifted the lid and sniffed it. Like last time, he couldn't smell anything special, but felt that the wine smelled light.

Zhu Zhishan raised his eyes and saw Tang Shen coming over with a cup, his eyes lit up immediately.

After taking the cup, Tang Shen's hesitant expression was so conspicuous that he couldn't ignore it.Zhu Zhishan asked him while pouring the wine: "What's the matter, Brother Tang? Just tell me if you have anything to say."

Tang Shen glanced at him, and said honestly, "I hope Brother Ziwei won't be involved in the restaurant affairs any more. Father's will entrusted me to handle the restaurant affairs, but I don't want elder brother to be distracted by it. Eldest brother only has to read poems and have fun, and I will take care of the rest. Even if I sell this restaurant and find another way to make money, I will support elder brother."

Tang Ziwei knew what he was going to say as soon as he opened his mouth, and his face darkened when he finished speaking.

If he had listened to Mr. Tang or his brothers who were full of bad things in his previous life, he would probably be happy and at ease.But now, hearing Tang Shen say that, he felt extremely irritable no matter what he heard.

Perhaps the familiar numbness in his mouth made the toughness in his bones come out again, Tang Ziwei said: "This is the last time I hear this, you are not allowed to mention it again in the future. As an elder brother, I cannot let you Do it alone."

"But--"

"If you can do it well, I'll leave it to you so what. But if you can't do it now, what else do you want?" Tang Ziwei interrupted him, speaking a little bluntly.He knew that Tang Shen could not be completely blamed for the current situation, but obviously this was the best way to persuade him.

Tang Shen was speechless for a moment, and stood aside, staring pitifully at the ground.

Seeing him like this, Tang Ziwei also turned his head.But maybe it's the body's instinctive memory, or maybe it's because he has a rare expectation for the so-called brotherhood...

Tang Ziwei pursed his lips, and raised his hand to cover his head. Only for a moment, seeing Tang Shen's eyes looking up like a puppy, Tang Ziwei's fingers slid down his hair and silently retracted them into his sleeves. .
