In a private room on the top floor of Yunxi Pavilion.
Inside the room, the young master was fiddling with the wine cup in his hand and casually asked, "Our Yunxi Pavilion has already made a move. Is there no movement from the Drunken Immortal Restaurant?"
The middle-aged man respectfully replied, "Young Master, there is indeed no movement from the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. Neither Li Zexuan nor Manager Liu has made any special moves. "
"Then what has Li Zexuan been doing recently? Does he not care about his restaurant's business? "
"According to the reports from my subordinates, Li Zexuan has been busy with his new fief. Today, he even went to Plum Village and Han Village. Oh, right, Young Master, Li Zexuan has asked the villagers to pick some fruits. It seems that he wants Han Tianhu's family to help him brew wine. "
"What kind of wine?" the young master curiously asked.
"Young Master, this subordinate guesses that it should be the fruit wine that Han Tianhu and his daughter brewed. Our Yunxi Pavilion has also bought some before and the taste is indeed very good. However, Li Zexuan bought it at a high price and the father and daughter stopped supplying it to us. "
The young master stood up and muttered with a frown.
"Hmm? Could it be that Li Zexuan plans to use this wine to fight against our Yunxi Pavilion? No, this young master reckons that their wine is not that simple. Immediately send a flying snake to the Han Village and bring back a jar of their wine. "
"Yes, Young Master!"
The middle-aged man bowed and was about to leave.
The young master suddenly thought of something and suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
The middle-aged man quickly turned around and said, "Young Master, do you have any other orders?"
The young master thought for a moment and said, "We have to plan for both sides. Tomorrow, go and invite Xia Shengyuan from the western part of the city to our Yunxi Pavilion as a chef. Not only do we have to imitate the Drunken Immortal Restaurant's dishes, but we also have to create our own specialty dishes."
The middle-aged man hesitated and said, "Young Master, this Xia Shengyuan is an imperial chef from the previous dynasty. I'm afraid it won't be easy to invite him."
The young master sneered and said, "Hehe, if you can't invite him, can't you use money to threaten his family? Do you still need this young master to teach you what to do? "
"Yes, Young Master, this subordinate knows what to do."
"By the way, I heard that the Cheng Family has been following Li Zexuan and buying chicken seedlings on a large scale?"
"Reporting to Young Master, there is indeed such a thing! As a result, the price of chicken in Chang 'an has risen to one hundred and fifteen copper coins per chicken. "
The Young Master proudly said, "Since they are stupid and have a lot of money, and they want the chicken seedlings so much, you can go to my Second Uncle today and borrow several big boats. You can go to Jiangnan through the Grand Canal and buy eighty thousand chicken seedlings. You can ship them to Chang 'an and sell them to the two families. This way we can also make a lot of money. When the time comes, we will have more confidence to defeat my good Big Brother."
The middle-aged man exclaimed in admiration, "Young Master is truly far-sighted. This subordinate admires you!"
"What are you flattering me for? Hurry up and do your job!" The young master impatiently waved his hand and scolded. However, from the flash of joy in his eyes, it could be seen that he enjoyed the flattery very much.
After the middle-aged man left the room, the young master looked out of the window. Then, he seemed to have thought of something unhappy. His face was ferocious as he said hatefully, "My good big brother, this time I will definitely not lose to you."
.....
Chang 'an City, Azure Dragon Lane.
In the backyard of a luxurious mansion, there was a young girl in gorgeous clothes. She was riding a scooter and playing happily. Not far away in the corridor, there was a young master in white who was looking at the little girl with a smile on his face.
"Eldest Young Master, just now in the streets and alleys of Chang 'an City, some pieces of paper suddenly appeared. On them were notices about the Strange Interest Pavilion."
A young servant in green clothes quickly came over and reported to the young master in white. This young servant was Lu Yun, who had applied for a red supreme membership card in the Strange Interest Pavilion a few days ago.
"Oh? Let me see it! "
The young master in white withdrew his gaze and turned around to take the notice in Lu Yun's hand. After a while, he smiled and said,
"Second generation scooter? This Strange Interest Pavilion is really interesting! Scooter, curved shaft plow, it's really interesting! Lu Yun, take this young master's membership card tomorrow and buy Meng Er a so-called second generation scooter. This young master wants to see how different this second generation scooter is from the first generation! "
Lu Yun didn't understand his young master's strange behavior recently, but he didn't dare to ask. He quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Young Master!"
The young master in white nodded slightly, but when he saw that Lu Yun hadn't left, he frowned and said, "What, do you have something to say?"
A trace of struggle flashed across Lu Yun's face. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Reporting to Young Master, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."
The young master in white said unhappily, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't dawdle!"
Seeing that the young master was unhappy, Lu Yun quickly said, "Young Master, as far as I know, the second young master has taken a lot of measures recently to consolidate the position of the Yunxi House in Chang 'an City. Seeing that the Yunxi House is about to dominate Chang' an City, Eldest Young Master, why are you still … still …"
"Still what? Still idle around and have nothing to do, right? "
"Forgive me, Young Master, I didn't mean that. I'm just worried that if this goes on, Young Master will lose the family trial this time and lose the power!"
When Lu Yun heard what the young master in white said, he hurriedly bowed and explained in fear.
The white-clothed man sighed, but he didn't blame Lu Yun. He slowly said,
He said slowly, "You all think I haven't done anything? Uh, okay, it seems that I haven't done anything yet! "
Lu Yun was almost choked to death by the young master in white's sudden change in topic.
The young master in white was embarrassed for a while before he recovered and said, "I haven't done anything yet because the time isn't right yet. This second brother of mine has a very extreme personality. He has always liked to be brave and ruthless, and he is competitive. Some of the elders in the family even agree with his way of doing things. But you all don't understand. Now that the world is settled and the people are united, if we big families still can't see the situation clearly and put on a high and mighty posture and keep fighting with others, we will only make countless enemies. In the end, everyone will push the wall when it is down. At that time, the Li Tang royal family will definitely be happy to see it and hit us when we are down.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, all of you were afraid of the slightest thing and didn't dare to jump out to fight with the Li family to seize the country. Now that the world is stable, all of you jump out one by one. Aren't you tired of not dying fast enough? "
The young master in white was a little angry as he spoke. In the end, he couldn't help but hit the railing angrily.
Lu Yun saw that the young master in white lost his composure and hurriedly comforted, "Young master, please calm down!"
The young master in white calmed down and continued, "In a time of peace and prosperity, blindly being brave and ruthless can't be done. Cooperating with others to win is the smart thing to do and the way to survive!"
Lu Yun heard this and said in surprise, "Young master, do you want to cooperate with Li Zexuan? I'm afraid the family won't agree, right? "
The young master in white snorted angrily and said angrily, "Hmph, a bunch of stubborn old men, never willing to lower their arrogant heads and can't see the situation at all. However, this is only a small trial in the family. All the decisions are up to me. The family has no right to interfere! "
Lu Yun heard the young master in white's rebellious words and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
The young master in white stood in place. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, he snorted angrily and left with his hands behind his back!
