In front of the Golden Millet Stage, everyone is silent.
With Xiang Bei's arrogant and brave character, will he apologize?
After the battle, he was crushed without any suspense. Bowing to Jiang Wang is bowing to the strong and acknowledging the result of defeat. In essence, it is still an attitude of "the fist is the truth".
But in terms of fist, Xiang Bei is now stronger than Zuo Guangshu.
Will he be willing to apologize to Zuo Guangshu?
If he doesn't, what will happen to Jiang Wang's "don't want to humiliate others"?
Just thinking about it makes people nervous.
"It's my fault." Han Li takes the initiative to stand up, "I'm willing to …"
Xiang Bei reaches out to stop him.
The Xiang family doesn't have the tradition of letting others take the responsibility.
"I'm sorry for my rudeness today, Young Duke Zuo!"
Even without the Mighty Body of Seizing Thief, this man is still taller and more majestic than everyone present. He salutes Zuo Guangshu with hands folded to express his apology.
Then he turns around and leaves.
His friends also follow him and leave.
Whether Han Li or others, angry or worried, they all acquiesce to Xiang Bei's decision after his statement — from this, we can roughly see Xiang Bei's leadership.
His will can be carried out by the people around him. According to what Chongxuan Chu Liang once casually told Chung Geng Sheng, this is the foundation of military talent.
For a strong man like Xiang Bei who is good at war, his future can't be determined by his personal fighting capacity alone, just like Li Longchuan.
Although he lost to Jiang Wang again and again in duels, it doesn't mean that his future is not as good as Jiang Wang's.
For a cultivator of war, it is not strange to kill someone who is at a higher level when surrounded by an army.
When Xiang Bei apologized, Zuo Guangshu didn't speak.
After Xiang Bei left, Zuo Guangshu still didn't speak.
When his elder brother Zuo Guanglie was alive, he was never challenged. At one point, he thought that the world was peaceful and everyone lived in harmony.
After Zuo Guanglie died in battle, he was slowly getting used to these things — probing and challenging from all sides. Xiang Bei's rudeness today is just a microcosm.
As Duke Huai's grandfather, he wouldn't use his authority to help him suppress the matters of the younger generation. He knew very well that he had to take responsibility for the current Zuo Family … just like his elder brother had done in the past.
After his father died on the battlefield, his elder brother, Zuo Guanglie, reignited the flames of the Zuo family and rose to prominence like a blazing sun hanging high in the sky.
On this night when the sun was extinguished, he had to emit his own light.
He had put in a lot of effort for this.
He was facing these things now, and he would solve them sooner or later.
But sometimes …
Sometimes, he would secretly wonder … what would happen if his elder brother was still here?
He didn't dare to look at Jiang Wang.
"Looks like we won't be able to do business with this table." Right at this moment, a pleasant female voice sounded.
As his voice fell, Qu Shunhua walked out.
Today, she was dressed in luxurious clothes and light makeup, exuding elegance and radiance. She was different from yesterday when they had bumped into each other in the carriage.
Although the fight between Jiang Wang and North Xiang was short, it was sensational enough. Of course, she noticed it.
In fact, when she heard that North Xiang was invited to the table set by Han Li, she was ready to come out to welcome Zuo Guangshu and Jiang Wang in person.
But she didn't expect to bump into them so coincidentally, have a conflict, and end so quickly …
After a few steps, she heard that a fight broke out, and then saw North Xiang apologizing to Zuo Guangshu.
This Brother Jiang was really …
Full of martial virtues.
Jiang, who was full of martial virtues, apologized to the host. "I'm really sorry for delaying your business."
"It doesn't matter." Qu Shunhua smiled. "Our Huang Liang Tai always pays the bill first and serves the dishes later. If they don't eat, I won't lose anything. "
Jiang Wang thought this sister-in-law was really interesting. He waved his hand and took back his long sword.
A hole was left on the spot.
Qu Shunhua glanced at it.
Jiang Wang said awkwardly, "Well, I'll pay for it."
"We're all family. Brother Jiang, what are you talking about?" Qu Shunhua smiled generously and said to Zuo Guangshu, "Why don't you invite Brother Jiang in?"
Zuo Guangshu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, seemed to wake up from a dream. "Oh, oh!"
He tugged at Jiang Wang's sleeve and walked into the Huang Liang Tai.
The antique wooden door didn't have any inscriptions. After crossing the threshold, there was a big stone directly opposite.
Only then did the two words "Huang Liang" appear on the stone.
The words were like dancing butterflies, giving one a feeling of entering a dream.
It was indescribably lively and unrestrained.
Behind the long stone was a small pond.
It wasn't the season for lotus flowers to bloom, but there were lotus flowers in the pond.
A pair of water ducks were paddling, and a few fish swam in the ripples.
On both sides of the pond were elegant corridors, built around the pond and extending separately.
Zuo Guangshu walked to the left as soon as he entered the door. Jiang Wang walked behind him, silently admiring the scenery.
Qu Shunhua shook his head and went forward to grab Zuo Guangshu's hand. "It's this way!"
He pulled him in a different direction and walked straight to the right.
Zuo Guangshu's face immediately turned red. He struggled, but couldn't break free.
"Didn't I tell you? In the future, when you come to the Huang Liang Tai, you can have a seat in this courtyard. It's specially reserved for you, and only for you. Why are you still walking around? "
"I forgot, I forgot."
"What do you remember?"
Qu Shunhua complained. Then, he thought of Jiang Wang and immediately let go of his hand. He turned around and smiled like a flower. "Brother Jiang, come with us."
"Oh, okay," Jiang Wang replied.
Zuo Guangshu deliberately stopped for a moment. He waited for Jiang Wang to walk over and walk side by side with them before continuing to walk forward.
The three of them walked side by side along the long corridor. Although Zuo Guangshu didn't talk much, and Qu Shunhua took good care of this "Brother Jiang" and threw out a topic from time to time.
But Lord Jiang still felt very strongly that he was superfluous …
Although the two young people didn't have any private words. But each other's eyes intertwined, a collision as they walked, and a knowing smile …
Infinite tacit understanding flowed.
Jiang Wang was clearly walking with them, but he seemed to be isolated in another world.
It must be an illusion.
How could he have such an illusion?
Just now, he was still awe-inspiring, suppressing North Xiang of Tianjiao of the Chu Kingdom to stand up for his little brother. I'm Da Qi's young goat, how can I be superfluous?
I'm today's guest of honor!
"Cough!" Jiang Wang looked left and right, trying to find a topic. "Your Golden Millet Terrace is so big, but you only open three tables a day?"
Zuo Guangshu walked in the middle, and Jiang Wang walked on the left, close to the pond. Qu Shunhua walked on the right, on the other side.
Her gaze first swept across Zuo Guangshu's face, and then she explained to Brother Jiang, "Our Golden Millet Dream only has one head chef, and the other chefs are all assistants. We're already too busy to open three tables a day. "
"Moreover, pigs, dogs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, fish, vegetables, fruits … all the ingredients are grown and raised by our own family. They're all in this Golden Millet Terrace, and many of the environments need to be controlled by arrays. So, although the place is big, there are only so many seats to sit down and eat. "
It was really an eye-opener.
It was the first time he heard that a restaurant had to leave space to produce ingredients.
This was the Chu Kingdom!
Didn't the land cost money?
Jiang Wang really wanted to ask how much it cost to eat here, but after thinking about it, he held back.
If Qu Shunhua answered honestly, as the big brother, should he pay the bill or not?
Eating someone else's banquet, not caring about the price, vulgar!
The Qu Clan was not inferior to the Zuo Clan at all, and was also one of the top clans of Chu. How could they be treated as vulgar?
The three of them turned into a corridor, crossed a stone bridge, and went around a vegetable garden, chatting and laughing, until they arrived at a secluded courtyard.
In front of the courtyard stood Chu Yuzhi, who had been waiting for a long time.
This was a young man with a valiant temperament. His style of dressing was considered simple in Chu, with only a martial robe and a waist saber. He was so clean that there was not even a jade ornament on him.
"Brother Jiang!" As soon as he saw Jiang Wang, he took the initiative to greet him. "I can't forget the grace on the Riverview Terrace. I heard from Miss Qu that she and Guangshu wanted to invite you to a banquet today, so I shamelessly came to disturb you. I hope you don't mind! "
"You have an outstanding demeanor, so you must be Chu Yuzhi?" Jiang Wang returned the greeting enthusiastically. "It is my honor to meet you today. I have also heard of your name for a long time!"
"In front of the Yellow River's chief, who dares to use his name?" Chu Yuzhi stepped aside.
The two of them were polite here, flattering each other and carrying the bridal sedan chair. Finally, they had the rhythm of a normal person's greeting.
Only Zuo Guangshu silently watched Jiang Wang, afraid that he would find an excuse to throw a punch at Chu Yuzhi to test his skills.
"Let's go in and talk," Qu Shunhua said. "How long are we going to talk at the door?"
So everyone laughed and walked into the courtyard together.
There were trees in the courtyard, and caged jade birds were hanging from the treetops.
The birds had jade feathers and a red crown. When they saw strangers, they softly chirped three times, as if they were welcoming guests.
Stepping on the stone path in the courtyard, they walked into a small two-story building.
The structure was simple, but there were careful details everywhere.
The color was light, but it was not cold.
"What is the name of this building?" Jiang Wang asked.
Qu Shunhua said softly, "Meet me."
Zuo Guangshu's gaze was soft, but he did not say anything.
Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment before he thought of the name. He could not help but look up.
There was a couplet in front of the door, engraved on a wooden plaque. The words were clear and there was a sense of eloquence.
Zuo said: Spread the snow as paper, painting the rivers and mountains for thousands of miles.
You said: Spring comes when one's face is blooming, a lifetime of affection is the flower.
Horizontal inscription: Seeing words is like me.
Jiang Wang was hit by the huge and passionate emotion in this couplet.
This was a courtyard that belonged to Zuo Guangshu alone in the Golden Millet Terrace. This was a small building that was specially built for Zuo Guangshu …
Meet me.
Think of me come to meet me.
This building is mine.
This couplet is mine.
Every word is my heart.
The romance of the children of Chu is in this couplet, in this building.
Guangshu, this marriage, big brother will agree on your behalf.
The betrothal gifts, the betrothal gifts, the wedding ceremony, and the birth of a child, immediately!
Jiang Wang looked at Zuo Guangshu with the deep affection of an old father.
Zuo Guangshu felt very uncomfortable.
He thought for a moment, and very considerate of his big brother's face, he transmitted his voice, "Which word do you not recognize?"
Jiang Wang gritted his teeth and walked in.
He wanted to take out the "Historical Sword Chiseling the Sea" from the storage box and throw it in front of Zuo Guangshu one by one, to let this kid see Big Brother Jiang's knowledge.
But after all, his sister-in-law was still beside him. As Little Guangshu's maternal family, he had to be elegant, stylish, and able to support the situation.
So the group entered the building.
The layout of this "Meet Me" building was exquisite.
The hall on the first floor was very spacious, without any extra decorations, only murals painted on the four walls.
The murals were of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, beautiful mountains and rivers.
In the couplet, there was a line "painting the rivers and mountains for thousands of miles."
Jiang Wang looked left and right. In the romantic and exaggerated strokes, he saw passionate expressions.
In the middle of the hall, there was a wooden spiral staircase, which led to the second floor in a graceful manner.
The group walked up the stairs and came to the actual dining area of this "Meet Me" building.
The curtains on the four sides were tied up, and the view was very wide.
Looking around here, one could almost see the entire scenery of the Yellow Millet Terrace.
There were rippling lotus leaves, piles of fruits, flocks of chickens and ducks …
A cool breeze blew, unrestrained.
"What a good place!" Jiang Wang praised.
In the middle, there was a round table made of cold incense wood, and five chairs were evenly placed.
They sat down one by one.
Zuo Guangshu sat next to Qu Shunhua, and Jiang Wang sat on the other side of Zuo Guangshu.
"This is the best place in the Yellow Millet Terrace. Guangshu doesn't go out often, and I often want to come here, but I can't. Today, I'm basking in Brother Jiang's glory!" Chu Yuzhi laughed heartily, sitting on the right side of Jiang Wang.
There were a total of five chairs, and only the seat between Chu Yuzhi and Qu Shunhua was empty. Of course, it was empty for the number one beauty of Great Chu.
The four sides were wide, and it was a round table, so there was no distinction of priority.
Chu Yuzhi took the initiative to talk, and Jiang Wang was not arrogant.
The group sat down, and there was a harmonious atmosphere.
"To be able to get Brother Jiang's praise, our Yellow Millet Terrace is famous even in Qi!" Qu Shunhua said with a smile, and then ordered the waiter standing quietly at the side, "Tell the kitchen to serve the dishes."
Jiang Wang looked at the empty seat, and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there another person?"
"Miss Ye." Qu Shunhua smiled, "I told her the time, but she's always late, so I guess she'll be a little late today."
Jiang Wang said politely out of basic courtesy, "Then there's no harm in waiting."
Qu Shunhua waved his hand, indicating for the waiter to leave, and said to Jiang Wang, "Brother Jiang, you're the host today, how can we let you wait? She's late, and it's her own business, so let's treat her to some leftovers. "
Jiang Wang thought that Qu Shunhua and Ye Lan 'er's friendship was very good.
But he didn't say anything.
After all, he didn't want to wait for others. He was willing to be polite, and because he was in Chu, he showed some elegance.
No matter how many beauties you were, when it came to eating and drinking, the first one gets first.
However, a voice, like the wind playing the strings of a zither, fell comfortably by the ear.
"Who wants to eat leftovers?"
When the voice first sounded, it was still downstairs, but when it fell, a beauty in a gorgeous dress had already appeared on the second floor.
It was too contradictory.
You seemed to be able to hear her footsteps going up the stairs, but she was already close to you.
Her facial features were so perfect, without the slightest blemish.
Her beauty was strong and bright, with a dazzling brilliance.
Her eyes seemed to have seen you, but also seemed to have ignored you. Her gaze circled around and finally fell on Qu Shunhua.
Her smile was like spring.
She seemed to be angry and resentful, "Aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation of Yellow Millet Terrace?"
…
…
…
…
PS: This couplet was a Spring Festival couplet I wrote myself one year. Originally, I wanted to write a new couplet, but I thought that if I spent too much time on these words, I probably wouldn't be able to repay the debt. So I was lazy and used it. Fortunately, it was very suitable.
