Gu Ju walked out of the gate of Tianji Mansion, and sat on the sedan chair prepared for him by Sima Qianhu for the first time, and it felt very comfortable to sit on it, and the four sedan chair men were obviously good martial artists, which didn't make him feel too much bumps at all, especially the sedan chair still exuded a faint aroma of fat powder, which made him feel refreshed after smelling it, and even the fatigue of a tiring day was reduced a little.

When the sedan chair walked forward to an intersection, Gu Juan suddenly opened the curtain and said, "If you don't go back now, take me to Juewei Jingpin." ”

"Yes. ”

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Juan was already sitting comfortably in the box on the second floor, which he was already very familiar with.

Obviously, Wang Huodao is a very good person, and he is also very good at pleasing people, since he has eaten two meals in it, this box has become a VIP room that can only be opened when he comes, and the furnishings inside are obviously one level higher than the other rooms, and it looks much more comfortable.

Gu Juan had just taken a few sips of tea, and Wang Huodao had already entered the door with two jars of cellar agarwood, followed by the guy who delivered the vegetables, and quickly laid out the cold dishes that had been made first, and retreated respectfully.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I'm here to take care of your business again. ”

As he spoke, Gu Juan took out a silver ticket from his arms and put it on the table, "Is this money enough?"

Wang Huodao slapped open the wine seal, poured a bowl for Gu Ju, and said with a smile on his face, "It's a lot, the fact that a thousand adults can come and sit down has already made the little ones cry out of gratitude, where can I collect the adult's money again?"

"This matter is one yard to one yard, eating to pay the bill, killing to pay for life, it is justified. Gu Juan took a sip of the wine bowl, sighed comfortably and said, "I always sit here alone to eat, you stand on the side and watch, it's embarrassing, sit down, drink with me." ”

"This ......" Wang Huodao hesitated, cautiously looked at Gu Ju's face, and then sat down diagonally, and poured a bowl of wine for himself, "Thank you for the grace of Lord Qianhu, and the little one will sit down bravely." ”

Gu Juan smiled, took the wine bowl and drank it all, sandwiched a piece of fish and meat and ate it slowly, and asked when he came over to pour the wine with the help of Wang Huodao, "Has your Holy Monarch shown his head recently?"

"Back to Lord Qianhu's words, the Holy Monarch has not responded to the villain since the last time he sent down the metaphor. ”

"Did the people you told me last time come to the restaurant for dinner and a party?"

"No, since the last time the Lord of the Thousand Households came to eat, their gang seems to have smelled something different, and they haven't come out again. ”

"Oh, it's okay, I just asked casually. Gu Juan nodded, without any uncertain expression on his face, and began to bury his head in eating and drinking.

After waiting until the hot dishes came up, and the guy who delivered the food withdrew, he finished the first stage of eating and drinking, and his mood seemed to have improved.

"Shopkeeper Wang, this dish tastes good today, and I am very satisfied. ”

"As long as the adults are satisfied and happy, the small ones are comfortable. ”

Listening to Gu Ju's praise, Wang Huodao's fat face suddenly stretched out, and as he spoke, he took out a few more silver tickets from his sleeve, and put them on the table respectfully with both hands.

"The money paid by the adults just now is too much, and if the small one is really all collected, it will be a black-hearted store, and he can't even sleep well at night, and after thinking about it, he still feels that he has to find the extra silver taels back to the thousand households, so that he can sleep with peace of mind. ”

Gu Juan glanced at the denomination of the top silver ticket, and then looked at the thickness of the silver ticket, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Although the meal money given by this official just now is indeed a little more, it doesn't seem to be much more, if you make change like this, won't you have to make a deal at a loss?"

"No loss, no loss, small and some earn, but also thank thousands of adults for showing compassion to the villains It is not easy to welcome guests. ”

"Well, that's okay, if you lose it, you squeak with me, and I'll make it up to you later, in short, my old Gu is a face-saving and righteous character, and I will never let my old friend suffer." ”

Gu Juan put away the stack of silver tickets, ate a few more mouthfuls of food, drank a bowl of wine, and then squinted his eyes and said drunkly, "I see that you are also a happy person who knows how to advance and retreat, and is sensible, there is one thing that the official thinks is that it is better to inform your family in advance, and it can be regarded as a complete deep friendship between you and me for so long." ”

"Thousands of households, please speak, the little ones listen to me. ”

"Shopkeeper Wang, do you want to open a branch?" he gently tapped his fingers on the smooth tabletop and made a tuk tuk sound, "I mean not to open another store in the capital of Great Wei, but a broader world outside." ”

"Or maybe it's more accurate to put it another way, that's the one behind you, does it want to open a branch?"

Wang Huodao lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and only after a long time did he become embarrassed, "If you return to the words of the Lord of the Thousand Households, the small one respects the Holy Monarch and can only gain a foothold in the capital, and now that he can't contact the Holy Monarch, he really doesn't dare to answer the adult's questions without authorization." ”

"A subordinate who does not have the ability to act independently and cannot spontaneously take the initiative to seek greater benefits for the lord is not a good subordinate. Gu Juan glanced at Wang Huodao with a smile, and said earnestly, "You must know that three-legged toads are not easy to find, two-legged people can be everywhere, if nothing else, just take a few from the crowd dancing and watching the dance by your Holy Monarch's bonfire, can't they do what you are doing now?"

"This, the Holy Monarch is far-reaching, and the small one really doesn't dare to speculate without permission......" Wang Huodao didn't dare to raise his head, and in a moment fine sweat was already pouring out of his forehead.

"You're wrong, you don't dare to speculate is not to speculate, not to be unable to speculate. Gu Juan slapped the table with some hatred, "Think about it, the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, even if it has lived for so many years, isn't this the pursuit?"

"Of course, it has lived long enough, so the direction and content it really pursues are definitely different from ordinary people like us, but you must know that the word profit is all-encompassing and covers thousands of things, not only power, money, wine and other things can be summarized...... As long as you can find what it really cares about, isn't that a good thing to be pursued for it?"

Wang Huodao was silent for a long time before he said, "I also ask the Lord of Qianhu to forgive the little one, I don't understand the meaning of the adult's words." ”

"Huh...... I think you can understand it, but you don't dare to say that you understand. Gu Juan picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, waved his hand and said, "That is, I see that it is not easy for you to climb up from the darkness, and we are also old acquaintances, so I thought that I could secretly pull you is a handful, and if you can help a help, if you don't appreciate it, then forget it." ”

He paused, lowered his voice and continued, "That is, through a few observations, I didn't smell the smell of that real existence from you, so I really saw you as the old acquaintance at the beginning, and I really wanted to show you a way, otherwise, I would have knocked you over early in the morning and talked to it directly, and what reason did I talk to you here?"

Wang Huodao's whole body trembled violently, and even his voice changed tone when he replied, "Go back to the Thousand Households, the villain is loyal to the Holy Monarch, and he will never dare to hide it in front of the Holy Monarch, nor will he dare to have the slightest betrayal." ”
