Although Lianghuacheng is not big, it has always been a prosperous place because it is adjacent to Kyoto and is also an important traffic route for various provinces.

In the past, the news circulating in Liang Hua City was all gossip from outside, or small things that happened around me, but now the most talked about in Liang Hua City is the Gu family who was once exterminated.

The only surviving son of the Gu family not only came back as the Juren lord, but also took care of the Chen family and the Zhao family after marrying a husband, took back all his original properties, and became the leader of the city. upstart.

While everyone was talking about this matter, they were also interested in the fact that the young master of the Gu family married his husband, especially after knowing that the young master of the Gu family was taking back his family's original property and handing over all those properties to his husband. After Lang started his business and did it well, he became more interested in his husband Lang.

Whether they are people in the city or outside the city, they are very curious about Mrs. Gu's family. Therefore, after knowing that the couple will often visit the store, these curious people will go to the store. Waiting in the store, just to see the demeanor of the couple, which indirectly made the business of the store a lot better.

On the snowy street, the sound of horseshoes came from far and near, and finally stopped outside the most gorgeous three-story restaurant in the city. Soon after, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a pale-skinned, resembling-looking man walked out from inside. Mr. Lang.

After the man landed on the ground, he turned around and looked at the little brother in red who came out of the carriage with gentle eyes.When the little brother fell to the ground, he smiled slightly at him, took his hand, and then the two walked towards the building hand in hand.

The passers-by not far away saw the graceful appearance of the two, and couldn't help sighing, "Whose carriage is this, how can there be such a handsome young master?"

The person next to him glanced at the two people who had already entered the store under Xiaoer's compliment, and couldn't help but sneered, "You don't even know them, they are the famous Gu family in Lianghua City ah!"

Hearing what my friend said, the person who asked the question couldn't help showing a bit of envy on his face, and sighed: "I heard their names at first, but I thought they were just famous, and I was not very good. Looking at it now, But I underestimated them, they really can be called dragons and phoenixes among men, no wonder they can take back the shop after avenging their father."

"That's not it." The friend glanced at the three-story restaurant, and his tone was full of envy, "Then what a difficult character the Zhao family master is! They not only made him confess, but also took back his family property. What an incredible thing it is to become an upstart in an instant!"

"Yeah, if only I could have such an adventure, I'm not greedy, I don't need to be as rich as the Zhao family, as long as they are a little rich."

"I think it's faster for you to dream."

The two bickered all the way, heading home all the way, and at the place where the carriage stopped just now, there were only a few shallow car marks left, covered by the snow slowly falling from the sky.

As for Gu Lang and Chen Xing who had just entered the store, the shopkeeper greeted them as soon as they entered the store, and then took them directly to the room reserved for them on the third floor.

The room is covered with thick carpets, and there is a charcoal fire that has been prepared a long time ago. As soon as you enter the door, you can feel that the temperature in the store is much higher than outside.

After the shopkeeper brought people into the room, seeing that they had no intention of sitting down immediately, he immediately smiled at them and asked politely: "Big boss, little boss, what do you want to eat later? Call the kitchen to prepare."

Chen Xing thought about what he said before going out, looked at the shopkeeper who was still waiting for his answer, and said with a smile: "We want to eat hot pot later."

Hearing this name, the shopkeeper immediately smiled, nodded towards Chen Xing, and kept saying, "Okay, little boss, I understand. It's just that we have a few more soup bases now. I don’t know what kind of hot pot the little boss wants.”

"Oh?" Chen Xing was a little surprised when he heard the shopkeeper say this. This hot pot is a special food prepared by him because the weather was cold a while ago, and it is also a big deal to sell it in restaurants It is very popular. I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, the cooks in this shop would draw inferences from one instance and make different flavors.

Immediately, Chen Xing became interested. He turned his head to look at Gu Lang beside him, and said to him, "I'm going to the kitchen to check out the new soup base. Can you wait for me here?"

Gu Lang listened to Chen Xing's words, smiled and nodded at him, and then said warmly: "Okay, it's time to look at the account books for this period of time, you go!"

Hearing what Gu Lang said, Chen Xing also felt relieved. Although the restaurant is more luxurious than ordinary restaurants under their layout, and the temperature inside is higher than outside, it is still a bit cold in general. , Gu Lang can stay in the room, he is the most at ease.So, Chen Xing told Gu Lang a few more words, telling him that it would be fine to read those books slowly, and they would not lack that little time.

Gu Lang responded to Chen Xing's instructions one by one, and then watched Chen Xing leave.

After Chen Xing followed the shopkeeper downstairs, the shopkeeper looked at Chen Xing and said with emotion: "The relationship between the little boss and the big boss is still so good!"

Chen Xing smiled and did not speak.

The tactful shopkeeper didn't speak any more, but respectfully led Chen Xing down.

When they came to the lobby on the first floor, they found a young man in a white cloak standing there, followed by two capable guards, who was talking to Xiao Er at this time, and Xiao Er was facing him right now. It seemed that the guest in front of him had made some requests that he could not fulfill.

As the shopkeeper saw this situation, he naturally needed to go forward to mediate, but he seemed to be scruples, turned his head and glanced at Chen Xing next to him, as if he was asking for his opinion.

Chen Xing received the shopkeeper's gaze, waved his hand indifferently, and said in a low voice: "Since you run a restaurant, it's natural that everything is based on serving customers. You can ask what's going on, and I'll just wait for you here." .”

"Yes." The shopkeeper responded in a low voice, then raised a smiling face and walked towards the young man.

The shopkeeper walked towards the young master, and after talking for a few words, he didn't know what was said between the two of them, but they walked towards Chen Xing one by one.

Seeing this, Chen Xing guessed in his heart that this young man came to discuss cooperation, or to ask for something.

Who knew that the young master came to Chen Xing, first bowed to Chen Xing, and then said politely: "This is brother-in-law, my name is Zhao Huan and I'm Gu Lang's old friend. Come here this time, It’s just to meet him, to catch up with him, and to ask my brother-in-law to show me the way.”

Hearing Zhao Huan's self-introduction, Chen Xing looked at his figure and saw that his face was like a crown of jade, and he looked like a well-clothed young man, so there must be no need to lie.Since they are Gu Lang's old friends, Chen Xing thinks it's okay to let them meet.

So, Chen Xing ordered Xiao Er, who was standing beside him, to bring someone up to catch up with Gu Lang, and he went to the kitchen as usual.After all, compared to their old friends, he is just a stranger, and it is not easy for them to talk when they go up.

Hearing Chen Xing's arrangement, Zhao Huan didn't know what the purpose was, so he took a deep look at Chen Xing, saluted again, and followed the little girl upstairs.

Chen Xing only felt that the way he looked at him was a bit inexplicable, with many indescribable things, like sighs and exclamations, and also with some kind of indescribable confusion.The only thing Chen Xing could be sure of was that there was no malice in the man's eyes.

After realizing that he had no malice towards him, Chen Xing also put this matter behind his mind, and gave instructions to the shopkeeper next to him, and the two headed towards the back kitchen together.

Chen Xing was still thinking that he would have to send someone up to ask Gu Lang whether his friends would eat with them, and if his friends stayed to eat, he would have to prepare a little more food, so he couldn't neglect Yuan Dao coming guests.

Chen Xing went to the back kitchen, and under everyone's fearful gaze, he first checked the sanitation of the kitchen, and after confirming that it was qualified, he went to communicate with the head chef about the new hot pot base.

And Zhao Huan had already arrived at the room on the third floor under Xiao Er's leadership. After Xiao Er knocked on the door and got a promise, he entered the room with Xiao Er.

Seeing Zhao Huan appearing here, surprise flashed across Gu Lang's face, and then quickly dissipated, and then he let Xiao Er, who was waiting beside him, leave.

Zhao Huan watched Gu Lang's movements, and asked the guards who followed him to go out and wait, while he stayed behind.

When only the two of them were left in the whole room, Zhao Huan said, "You will stay here for the rest of your life, and you are not allowed to go back?"

Gu Lang raised his eyelids, looked up at him, closed the account book in his hand, and said in a low voice: "What's so bad about staying here? I can also take care of my health. Now I don't need anything. Staying here is a good time to take care of myself." Just right."

"Isn't it appropriate for you to retire at this age?" Zhao Huan looked at him and teased, but he took a closer look at his complexion during this period, and found that this person was really much better than the sickly complexion before. On the way, he immediately thought of the brother who went down just now, and said in a half-joking and half-taunting tone: "It seems that you married a good husband!"

Gu Lang squinted at him, but did not deny it.

Looking at his appearance, Zhao Huan couldn't help being amazed, and sighed: "You will also have a wife one day. In the past, those ladies from famous families came to the door, and I didn't see any good looks from you. I thought you would be lonely all your life. Nah."

Gu Lang listened to the ridicule of his bad friend, and did not continue to answer the conversation, but changed the topic, and said calmly: "You came this time just to talk nonsense?"

When Zhao Huan heard the words, he immediately made an expression that how could you do this, that it hurt my heart so much, and then put away this expression under Gu Lang's stern gaze, and said embarrassingly: "Of course not."

Looking at his expression, Gu Lang knew that there was something in his words, so he said straightforwardly, "Why is that?"

Zhao Huan knew that his old friend was also a smart person. Even if he didn't say anything now, he would know the purpose of coming if he said a few more words later, so he stopped playing around in circles and said directly: "Of course I made a mistake again. Wrong, and then I thought about going out to avoid the limelight, and then just came to see you when I heard about you again."

Gu Lang stared straight at him, apparently still waiting for his next words.

Zhao Huan raised his hands and said helplessly: "Of course, I think if I can persuade you to go back, my mistake may be written off."

Hearing what he said, Gu Lang lowered his eyebrows, looked at the fox fur gloves that Chen Xing had just made for himself, and said softly: "I won't go back, I'm living a good life now."

Zhao Huan shrugged, and there was no disappointment on his face, he still had that cynical look, and said casually: "Before I came, I thought I might persuade you to go back, but after I came After coming here, I think it should be impossible for me, you are really living well here."

Gu Lang raised his eyes to look at him, both of them were smart people, and they understood each other's thoughts the moment they looked at each other.

"Don't worry, no one can force you to do what you don't want to do. It's just that if my brother is undecided, I may need your advice." Zhao Huan continued.

Gu Lang nodded, he understood that this was already the biggest setback for that person, if he could live a peaceful life, it would be no harm if he agreed to such a small matter.

Seeing him nodding his head, Zhao Huan wanted to say something more, but he heard a knock on the door.

"Big boss, little boss asked me to come up and ask a question."

"Enter."

Hearing Gu Lang's order, Xiao Er immediately opened the door and walked in, first bowed to the two people in the room, and then said what Chen Xing had ordered.

"The little boss asked the little one to ask the big boss if the young man wants to stay for lunch."

Before Gu Lang could speak, Zhao Huan said familiarly: "Of course I want to, but I heard that the food in Xianglou is outstanding this day, if you leave without having a meal, wouldn't it be a waste of time to come here. "

Seeing what Zhao Huan said, Gu Lang next to him did not refute, and immediately acquiesced that the big boss also agreed to this matter, so he continued: "The little boss also asked, is there any dish you should not eat?" ?”

Zhao Huan rubbed his chin, and said with a smile: "There are no taboo dishes, but I can't eat spicy food."

"Okay, the little one is done asking, and the little one won't bother the big boss and the young master."

After Xiaoer saluted and retreated, Zhao Huan stroked his chin, raised his chin to Gu Lang who was sitting on the seat, and said with a joke: "Your husband is very careful."

Gu Lang raised his eyelids, but didn't answer his words.

Zhao Huan was not angry either, he seemed to be used to his behavior, and then he seemed to think of something, and said in an insatiable way: "Since I ran away from home, can I stay at your house for a few more days?"

Gu Lang raised his eyes and looked at him coldly, just when Zhao Huan thought he would not agree, he heard him coldly say: "It's up to you, just be careful with what you say, Chen Xing only thinks of me as a juren now. "

Hearing Gu Lang's words, Zhao Huan was stunned for a moment, then covered his stomach and laughed, and couldn't help complaining: "You used to be a prime minister, but now you're just dismissed by a mere judge."

Seeing that Zhao Huan's smile became more and more wanton, Gu Lang's face became more and more ugly.

At the end, Zhao Huan sensed that something was wrong, and immediately stopped laughing, made a gesture of surrender to him, and quickly said: "Well, I promise not to reveal your identity, don't worry."

Just when Gu Lang was about to say something, the knock on the door rang again, but this time it was the shopkeeper who left just now, "Big boss, little boss asked me to ask you, it's almost time, you can eat now ?"

Gu Lang squinted at Zhao Huan, who was full of anticipation, then turned his head and said to the human outside the door: "Get ready to eat!"

"Yes."

After a while, all the meals were brought up one after another, and the most eye-catching thing was a hollow copper pot.

Looking at the white soup bubbling around the copper pot, and the plates of thinly sliced ​​vegetables and meat, Zhao Huan asked curiously, "What is this?"

Hearing his question, Chen Xing, who was instructing Xiao Er to serve the dishes, took the time to reply, "This is a hot pot, put these dishes in the white soup and cook for a while, after scooping them up, put them in your own dipping sauce. Dip it in, and the taste will be great."

Listening to the hot pot and dipping ingredients, Zhao Huan felt that they were very fresh. Under Chen Xing's guidance, he even prepared a dipping water by himself.

When he ate the first mouthful of hot-boiled meat, Zhao Huan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he repeatedly praised the chef's cooking skills.

Chen Xing only felt that Gu Lang's friend, although he looked like a nobleman, had a good temper, so he couldn't help feeling a little more fond of him.

While Zhao Huan was eating, he saw Chen Xing put a small pot of warm water on a small stove from the side, took out a small bottle soaked in it, opened the lid and poured out a stream of pink liquid Come.

Smelling the alluring aroma, Zhao Huan's eyes lit up again, looked at Chen Xing and asked, "What is this? Why does it smell like wine to me, but it smells a bit more than pure wine."

Chen Xing looked at him curiously, and explained to him: "This is the fruit wine I brewed myself. If you like it, I will give you a few jugs when you leave."

"it is good."

"Need not."

Two voices sounded simultaneously.

Chen Xing turned his head to look at Gu Lang beside him, with some doubts in his eyes.He could tell that Gu Lang liked this young master quite a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have let him be so at ease.

After receiving Chen Xing's confused gaze, Gu Lang seemed a little reluctant, but he still explained: "He will stay in our residence for a few days."

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, then he realized that since he was going to stay for a few days, he probably wouldn't leave just like that.Since he is not leaving so soon, the wine can be delivered at any time.

So, Chen Xing said to Zhao Huan: "Since that's the case, when the young master leaves, I'll give you a few more pots."

"Okay, then it's a deal."

Zhao Huan was very happy because he felt that Gu Lang was unhappy about it, but for some reason, he couldn't make a sound to stop it.Seeing that Gu Lang suffered from boredom and couldn't speak out, he really felt that he was outraged by himself in the past.

So that day, the three of them ate and had a good time, and when they finally returned home, Zhao Huan went back with them, but when they entered the door, Zhao Huan ordered the people he brought to find another place for themselves. He brought two personal guards into the mansion.

Seeing that Gu Lang and Zhao Huan were taking it for granted, Chen Xing didn't say anything more, thinking that they were just like this.

Fortunately, after Chen Xing got rich, he consulted Gu Lang's advice to renovate all the dilapidated houses in the mansion, and also remodeled the inconvenient bathrooms, toilets and other places according to modern places.

Therefore, Zhao Huan didn't raise any inconvenience about the living conditions. What's more, he felt that the layout here was too satisfactory. Get one at home.

Chen Xing felt that although this young man looked wealthy, he still got along quite harmoniously.It's just that he doesn't quite know what this young man is doing. The relationship with Gu Lang seems weird, and he doesn't know what the two of them are messing with every day. They are happy for a while and angry for a while.

It's just that no matter what, as long as it's time to eat, no matter what this young man is doing, he will always show up at the dinner table on time.

It's just that different from the elation in the past, today's Zhao Huan looks quite dejected, and he doesn't even want to drink the fresh shrimp porridge in front of him.

Chen Xing looked at him curiously, but was too embarrassed to ask.

Gu Lang raised his eyelids, and asked coldly, "What's wrong with you?"

Hearing Gu Lang's question, Zhao Huan burst into tears and said, "I'm going back, I won't be able to eat these delicious food again."

Hearing Zhao Huan's sad voice, Gu Lang just rolled his eyes, looking very disdainful.

Although Chen Xing didn't know where he was going back, seeing him in such a distressed state, he couldn't help but think about it and said: "If Mr. Zhao doesn't dislike it, how about I make some jars of meat sauce for you when I go back?"

Zhao Huan's eyes immediately lit up when he heard the words, and he kept nodding his head, "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it, it doesn't matter if you bring more."

Chen Xing smiled, and Gu Lang rolled his eyes beside him.

On the day Zhao Huan left, it happened to be just after the beginning of spring, and green shoots had already grown in many places on the road.

Chen Xing and Gu Lang sent Zhao Huan out of the city together.

Looking at the friend who was about to leave, Gu Lang's expression was always calm, as if this time he would see him again soon after parting.

When it comes to the parting money, Zhao Huan put away his usual indecisive expression, and looked at Gu Lang seriously and said, "I think you understand why you don't want to go back, if I can live your current life , I don’t want to leave either.”

Gu Lang looked at him coldly, and finally showed him a miserly smile.

Looking at Gu Lang's slightly smug smile, Zhao Huan endured and endured, and finally resisted the urge to beat him up.Finally, as if he thought of something, he turned his head to look at Chen Xing who was standing not far away and looked at them, and said loudly to him: "Brother, if there is a chance, I will come again, don't dislike me then! "After Chen Xing replied 'yes', Zhao Huan smoothly watched Gu Lang's darkened face, so he sat in the carriage very happily, and under Gu Lang's slightly threatening gaze, he leisurely thought maybe When he comes next time, he can bring his brother with him.

Gu Lang sent Zhao Huan away with heavy eyes, then returned to Chen Xing's side, held his hand, and said to him, "Let's go back!"

Chen Xing saw that Gu Lang didn't look unhappy, nodded, and said, "Well, let's go back and make sweet and sour fish later."

"it is good."

It's just that before Gu Lang could say anything, Chen Xing, who was still excitedly talking about what to eat later, retched for no reason.

Gu Lang's originally expressionless face immediately became anxious, and asked him, "Are you okay?"

Chen Xing didn't know what was wrong with him, he frowned and shook his head, and muttered strangely: "It's okay, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable for no reason."

Hearing what he said, Gu Lang's frowning did not loosen, but it became more and more tight, and then he said: "Later, let's go to the medical clinic first, and then go back after we're done."

"Okay." Chen Xing has no objection to this, and going to the medical clinic will not delay anything.

But what Chen Xing didn't know was that this trip to the medical center brought him a lot of surprises and shocks.
