Things didn't go well, and Jiang Yuebai was indeed deliberately avoiding him.

At noon on this day, Jiang Ronghua invited Lin Haoran to a restaurant called "Longquan".

Although this restaurant is far inferior to Pan Xian Restaurant, it is a century-old restaurant in Gaozhou Mansion and the oldest restaurant in the city.

The signature dish here is the sesame oil chicken, which is made of secret soybean oil and simmered with more than a dozen spices such as fennel and angelica.

As a foodie, Jiang Ronghua naturally knew about this place, so he brought Lin Haoran to taste it together.

Lin Haoran picked up a piece of oily chicken nuggets and put it in his mouth, first smelling a pungent fragrance, which made his appetite immediately open. After being put in the mouth, it is extremely smooth, oily but not greasy, and it is really a famous dish worth tasting.

It's just that after eating two pieces, he put down his chopsticks, picked up the water and wine in front of him and drank it, looking preoccupied.

These days, he has been trying to meet Jiang Yuebai, but the other party has always avoided him. Now the attitude seems to be getting clearer and clearer, the other party does not want to cancel the gambling contract with him, or to negotiate the conditions after the dust settles in the hospital test.

"What kind of thing is Lin Haoran, why is he competing with Jiang Yuebai for the little three yuan?" There were a few scholars sitting at the next table, and an elderly scholar who was drinking red suddenly said loudly.

But when he saw him stand up, he staggered and pointed to the person at the table and said, "Do you know who the person who came back with Jiang Yuebai is?" The top ten lifters in Guangzhou Prefecture, even he became Jiang Yuebai's follower, and he was impressed by Jiang Yuebai's article! ”

Seeing the surprised expression of his tablemate, he sat back triumphantly, but he sat down for a while, and fell to the ground heavily, so startled that his companion hurriedly helped him up, and tried to send him back.

Call!

Lin Haoran looked at the scholars who left, took a sip of the wine glass, and shook his head helplessly.

Now there is a saying circulating in the entire Gaozhou Mansion, that is, he and Jiang Yuebai are competing for Xiao Sanyuan, which is an act of inadequacy. Not to mention the previous scholars, even this year's scholars hold this view.

After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask seriously at Jiang Ronghua, who was eating vegetables on the side: "If I compete with Jiang Yuebai for Xiao Sanyuan, what are the chances of winning?" ”

"You ......" Jiang Ronghua glanced at him contemptuously, but seeing that he was asking seriously, he pondered for a moment before saying seriously: "You are a fool who moves mountains, so no one can gnaw through the four books and five classics better than you." He is the wisdom of millions of people, and his articles can be done in a decent manner, but also in a gorgeous rhetoric, and he can be unique. ”

"So what?" Lin Haoran frowned and asked seriously.

Jiang Ronghua picked up the water and wine in front of the table, took a sip slowly, and then sighed and said, "It mainly depends on Master Song Tixue, what problems he has and what kind of style he appreciates...... Your odds of winning can only be around 40%! ”

"Forty percent?" When Lin Haoran heard this, he drank the water and wine in a sullen voice.

This winning rate can't be considered low, he once shook the dice with a beautiful woman and lost only a pair of cartoon panties, but in the end, he completed a shocking counterattack and hugged the beauty to bed in one fell swoop.

"Eat like this every day, I'm ashamed!"

The scholar at the table had already settled the bill and left, and Xiao Er came to clean up the table, but the sloppy Taoist priest sitting at the table over there came over and took the rest of the dishes away, which made Xiao Er unhappy.

This sloppy Taoist priest is unkempt, with a full beard, and looks like he is in his forties, but his whole person is full of energy.

The sloppy Taoist priest was not embarrassed, picked up the wine bottle and shook it again, then raised his head and took a sip of wine, handed the wine bottle to Xiao Erdao: "Your strength is not good, if you don't change it, you will suffer a big loss in this life!" ”

"Phew! Bah! You crow's mouth! Xiao Er immediately said angrily.

The sloppy Taoist priest walked back to the table, pointed to the east and said: "You go to Luofu Mountain to inquire, the big families in the nearby hundred miles, who doesn't know that my Wu Daoxing is a quasi-one, and he is called a living immortal!" ”

"Since you are so powerful, why don't you stay in Luofu Mountain, but come here to eat other people's leftovers?" Xiao Er put away the dishes and immediately mocked sharply.

"Correct, I'm eating leftovers, I haven't touched leftovers, I'm principled!" The sloppy Taoist priest who claimed to be Wu Daoxing said solemnly, and then continued smugly: "Because I have already seen a glimmer of heaven, the noble person of my life has appeared, as long as I follow him, let alone big fish and big meat, in the future, the old Taoist will be able to eat and drink every day!" ”

"Just blow it!" Xiao Er left with dishes and bowls, still despising this old way of eating leftovers.

"The world laughs at me for being crazy, I laugh at the world for not being able to see through it!" The sloppy Taoist priest grabbed a piece of delicious buckle meat, snorted a word, and then opened his mouth beautifully and stuffed it into his mouth to eat.

Jiang Ronghua, who was eating vegetables, suddenly stopped, Lin Hao looked at him in puzzlement, and found that he was smacking, but saw the sloppy Taoist priest staring at them with a grin, more precisely, staring at his plate of sesame oil chicken.

Jiang Ronghua sighed and asked Lin Haoran if he wanted to eat it, and the negative answer was to bring the plate of sesame oil chicken over.

"You young man has a nice face! is a rich and noble minister, and he will definitely become a rich man in the future! The sloppy Taoist priest took the plate of chicken and said to Jiang Ronghua.

"Thank you, Dao Chang Jiyan!" Jiang Ronghua thanked him.

The sloppy Taoist priest ate a piece of chicken, and then said vaguely: "But you will encounter a great catastrophe, and you will have to pay attention to it then!" ”

Jiang Ronghua showed a faint helplessness on his face, this is the usual method of charlatans, first say some good things, and then scare you, so as to deceive you for some benefits.

After eating for a while, Lin Haoran looked up at him and said, "Why don't we go back!" I'll want to go there for a while, I don't believe he'll be able to hide from me forever! ”

"Do you really think I just brought you to dinner?" Jiang Ronghua said with a smile.

"Isn't it?" Lin Haoran asked suspiciously.

Jiang Ronghua was about to speak, but his eyes suddenly lit up, and he motioned for Lin Haoran to look over there.

They were sitting in the lobby on the second floor, when a group of people walked out of the private room in front of them, and a handsome young man came out surrounded by scholars and guards.

This young boy looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a blue satin robe, which was bordered by silver hollow hibiscus, his skin was very white, so that his handsome features were particularly distinct, his soft eyebrows, his high nose, his pointed jaw, and his eyes were as bright as stars, and he looked almost impeccable.

Although Lin Haoran didn't recognize Jiang Yuebai, almost the moment he saw this young boy, he knew that he was Jiang Yuebai. And when he heard the scholar next to him call him, he immediately determined the identity of this person.

He naturally didn't miss this opportunity, and wanted to step forward to stop people, but he gave people the first time, but it was the sloppy Taoist priest who ate leftovers.
