The happy life of a prodigal

Zuihuage is a well-known restaurant in Kyoto. It is said that there is a shadow of Mr. Yang, Minister of Rites, behind it.

In addition to today's food, abalone, lobster, bird's nest and shark's fin are all available.

I drank two bottles of Houerniang in [-] alone.

1000 taels of silver is not just empty talk.

just myself...

Fang Xiu touched his pocket.

Shy!

Chapter 6 Conflict

"Master, only 100 taels..."

Bai Xiaochun rummaged through the pockets of several guards, and only managed to collect 100 taels of silver, which is far from 1000 taels.

Fang Xiu looked at the broken silver and banknotes on the table, feeling a little regretful.

If I had known this earlier, I should have asked the price before pretending...

Fang Xiu hesitated for a while, looked at the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and said, "How about..."

"This store does not accept credit, please forgive me, Mr. Fang."

Fang Xiu's eyes turned to the other four people.

The four of them shuddered in unison and remained silent.

The awkward atmosphere lasted for half a stick of incense.

Maybe it was because Fang Xiu stared at him a little bit, Wu Yi said: "I still have 50 taels on me, I gave it to you..."

The person next to him finally couldn't take it anymore and said, "I only have 20 taels here."

"You know my situation, I can't bring much money with me when I go out."

"..."

Fang Xiu rummaged through the clothes of the four of them, only finding a hundred taels of silver in total.

The sum of the four people's money is not enough to buy another hospital in the suburbs...

Is this still called a dandy?

he...tui!

Fang Xiu sighed, looked at the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and said, "I'll write you an IOU first, and you send someone to Fangfu to collect the money tomorrow."

The shopkeeper of the restaurant had a look of embarrassment on his face.

These few are the sons of honorable nobles who are well-known in Kyoto, and he, a commoner, really cannot afford to provoke him.

Can……

He recalled what Young Master Yang said before, and his hesitant expression gradually became firmer.

"It stands to reason that our Zuihua Pavilion will definitely satisfy Mr. Fang's request with all our strength, but... I really can't decide on the accountant's affairs."

The shopkeeper of the restaurant hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Those young masters who want to come here will know that although I am the shopkeeper, I am actually an errand runner. 1000 taels of silver is really not a small amount, I have to ask... the young master for instructions.

Hope you guys forgive me. "

"Go, I'll wait here."

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said.

Everyone knew that the Zuihua Pavilion was the property of the Minister of Rites, so they didn't make things difficult for him.

"Mr. Fang, go back as soon as you go down."

The shopkeeper saluted respectfully and hurried downstairs.

After he left, Fang Xiu glanced at the four of them and said, "Don't worry, a gentleman's words are hard to follow. Since I want to invite you today, I will do what I say. I will never charge you a tael of money. Sit down and continue drinking."

When the four of them heard this, they felt even more uneasy.

Wu Yi even muttered in a low voice: "You have to be a gentleman..."

…………

The Office of the Minister of Rites.

A young man in a fox fur was sitting on the grand master's chair in a certain study room, and asked casually, "Mr. Fang?"

"It's Fangxiu, the only son of Uncle Anping's family."

The shopkeeper of Zuihua Pavilion bent over and stood aside with a respectful expression.

A playful smile appeared on the young man's face, he thought for a while, and said, "Let him wait if he can't get the money, and send someone to Anping Bo's Mansion to inform him, and let him go when the money arrives."

"This...wouldn't be inappropriate, after all, Uncle Anping has been fighting abroad for many years, and won the respect of His Majesty, if..."

The shopkeeper of the restaurant was halfway through speaking, seeing the young man looking at him, he didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly made a bow: "The little one is talking too much, so let's do it now."

The young man picked up his teacup and sipped it, and said: "It's only natural to pay debts, even if your Majesty comes down, you can't say anything, just do it, with His Royal Highness King Ning backing you up, let alone Fangxiu, you can just do it." It's no big deal when Bo Anping arrives."

"Yes, son."

…………

Inside the Drunken Flower Pavilion.

Fang Xiu and the four of them exchanged cups and drank happily.

The wines in Chu State are undistilled low-alcohol wines, but they can't hold up to a large amount. After a few drinks, even Fang Xiu's face also showed a blush.

Not to mention the other four, if they hadn't been supported by the table, they would have fainted already.

About half an hour later.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant hurried upstairs, opened the door and entered, and said: "Young Master Fang, I have sent someone to Uncle Anping's Mansion. When the money arrives, you and the young masters can leave."

His words made the four other than Fang Xiu furious.

Wu Yi even slapped the table and got up, scolding: "What do you mean? Could it be that I want to leave now, but can't I?"

People are most likely to be irritable when they are drunk, let alone the domineering Lord Wu Xiaohou.

After Wu Yi finished cursing, he seemed to be still angry. He overturned the table and walked out, angrily saying, "I'm going back to the house now! I'll see who dares to stop me!"

Fang Xiu's sanity is still clear, when he heard the restaurant shopkeeper's words, his first reaction was that the Minister of Rites had spoken.

As for why they do it...

With Fang Xiu's experience, he didn't need to think too much to understand that it was nothing more than forcing his own father to stand in line.

The battle for succession has been going on for a long time, and now it has entered a white-hot stage.

Whoever can get the support of the generals is equivalent to sitting on the throne with half his ass.

However, neither the sixteen generals of the forbidden army nor the nine generals of important towns seem to have any intention of participating in it.

The second prince, King Ning, is in the limelight now, and he might not be able to bear it any longer. He wants to force the generals to make a decision!

Undoubtedly, this incident is King Ning's warning to Uncle Anping or the generals in important towns!

Otherwise, how dare a small restaurant shopkeeper stop them!

Sure enough, the shopkeeper of the restaurant turned cold and said, "This is what Young Master Yang meant, Young Master Wu, please forgive me."

Wu Yi walked unsteadily in front of the shopkeeper of the restaurant, put his face against his face, and breathed out a mouthful of alcohol: "I see Nima forgive me!"

"You, you..." The shopkeeper of the restaurant trembled angrily, "You're insulting gentlemen..."

"I insult your grandma!"

Wu Yi picked up the jug on the table and pointed it at the shopkeeper's head!

Snapped--

The restaurant shopkeeper's head was bleeding profusely.

Holding his bleeding wound, his body was like sifting chaff, and he shouted to the boy in green beside him, "Hurry up, hurry up and invite Xia Butou!"

Seeing that the face of the shopkeeper of the restaurant was stained red with blood, Wu Yi was more than half sober, and hurriedly threw away the bottle in his hand.

Immediately after hearing the words 'Xia Tutou', my legs went limp at that moment, and I slumped on the chair, as if I lost my soul.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant covered his injured head, pointed at Wu Yi, and tremblingly said: "The Emperor's feet are still so rampant, even if you are the son of Anqinghou's family, you can't act like this!"

After finishing the call tremblingly, he seemed to be afraid that Wu Yi would hit himself with a wine bottle again, so he fled downstairs.

Fang Xiu stared at Wu Yi who was slumped on the chair in a daze, and was startled.

An Qinghou, like An Pingbo, was born in the army.

Growing up in this environment, the children have more or less the resolute temperament of a soldier.

Wu Yi was like this, never had he looked so down and out.

Fang Xiu racked his brains, but he couldn't remember who 'Xia Tutou' was.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant just gave a name, and scared the always arrogant and domineering Lord Wu Xiaohou like this...

He hesitated for a while, and asked, "Who is Butou Xia?"

Chapter 7 Female Catcher

Another person explained: "You don't know Xia Motou is also normal, after all, you are not like us...cough cough..."

The man also knew that those things were disgraceful, coughed twice in embarrassment, and said in one stroke: "Xia Motou's father is a British prince, who knows what he thinks, it's not good to stay at home, and he has to go to the capital to be a shit catcher head……"

"I seem to have a little impression."

He was interrupted by Fang Xiu before he finished speaking, and his flushed face became even redder.

Fang Xiu had no time to care about him, and fell into deep thought.

He seemed to have heard it from others before.

This summer's headhunter is not weak in martial arts, plus he was born in the British government, so he is considered to be a leader in the capital government.

He will take care of other police officers, and he will also take care of what other police officers don't care or can't control.

You know, what is the city of Kyoto.

That is at the feet of the Son of Heaven!

If a brick is thrown down, nine out of ten people will have a relationship with the family.

The most indispensable thing is the dude.

The previous arresters were all forced to leave the yamen because they meddled in "nosy" and offended people they shouldn't.

But this Xia Butou is different, behind him stands the British government!

Although time has passed, the British government has long since lost the scenery of when the ancestors followed the ancestors to fight the country.

But after all, he is one of the founding fathers of the country, and his status and influence are far beyond that of ordinary nobles.

Therefore, it has only been half a year since Xia Tutou took office, at least half of the dandies in Kyoto have been imprisoned in Kyoto Prefecture.

Xia Butou also won the title of "Xia Motou" in the dandy circle of Kyoto.

It made the dandies immediately frightened out of their wits when they heard the word "Xia Butou".

Wu Yi had been planted in his hands before, so it's no wonder he was frightened like this.

Recalling everything, the corners of Fang Xiu's mouth turned up slightly, and he comforted Wu Yi: "What a big deal I am. It's just a headhunter. It scares you..."

Wu Yiteng stood up, and said angrily: "I was targeted by Xia Motou because of you, and you still make sarcastic remarks, do you have any conscience!"

Fang Xiu glanced at him and said, "If you want to say that, I won't help you."

"You have a way to deal with Demon Xia?"

Wu Yi's eyes lit up, then he looked at Fang Xiu suspiciously, and asked, "What can I do, don't hide it."

Fang Xiu smiled and said, "You first..."

After listening to Fang Xiu's words, Wu Yi's eyes became more suspicious, and he asked, "Is this possible?"
