Chapter 79
"What's the hurry, I won't run away again."
After Chengfeng turned around under the stage and returned to the screen, judging from the shadow cast on the painting, he bent down and said something to the woman inside, and the woman whispered back to him, and then took the Feng has been standing beside her, waiting for her to read those coupon papers one by one.
After reading all of them, the owner of Huige divided all the coupon papers into two and handed them to Chengfeng. He got up and took a few steps back. The shadow left on the screen became farther and farther until it disappeared completely.
Cheng Feng turned around and walked out, appeared in front of everyone again, bowed and said: "My master has read your requests, and picked out three lists to take, please leave the guests whose names have been read, and the rest of the guests can gone back."
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.Someone immediately complained and became angry: "What? Only keep three? Your Hui Pavilion is too big, so why not take one more order, I have plenty of money!"
Followed by an echoing voice: "We are only willing to take three orders, but let many of us wait for a long time. It's really grand."
"That's right, in my opinion, the strength of this Hui Pavilion is no more than that. I'm afraid it's not that I don't pick up too much, but I dare not pick it up!"
"Hehe, who says it's not."
"My distinguished guests, please forgive me. My master has always kept his promise. If any guest still has objections, he can stay alone to discuss with the master later, but..." Chengfeng smiled evilly, "Hui Pavilion is not responsible for sending people away. back."
Those people who were shouting vigorously before suddenly shrank their heads and bowed down, and stopped talking.Chengfeng narrowed his slender eyes lightly, took out the three coupons and read: "Mr. Zhuge Wuyong, Mr. Dengtu Linfang, and Mr. Mu Rushan."
Mistress (13) No.[-] Hours ([-])
Gu Lan followed Chengfeng a few steps away, and Ye Qin walked side by side with him. The three of them boarded the second floor of the cabin and came to the door of the room at the end of the corridor.
Cheng Feng turned around and saluted Gu Lan: "The master is already waiting for the two distinguished guests in the room, please."
Gu Lan looked around and couldn't help asking: "Why don't you see Mr. Zhuge Wuyong?"
Chengfeng smiled meaningfully: "The master said that if you only keep the two of you, people will be suspicious. Zhuge Wuyong is a fabricated person, so please come in first."
After Ye Qin heard it, he couldn't help but think about it, what kind of old friendship did the owner of the Huige have with Gu Lan, and he was able to drive away all the business with a single word, and he was afraid that others would suspect it, but he was very thoughtful.
Gu Lan felt a chill running down his back, and when he raised his head slightly, he met Ye Qin's pretentious smirk.Ye Qin pressed his hand heavily on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter, Mr. Dengtu, go in quickly."
"Please, Mr. Mu first, please first." Gu Landui had a flattering face, completely ignoring the questioning look in Ye Qin's eyes.
The room was filled with a refreshing fragrance, the candles were bright, and the furnishings were elegant. The owner of the Gray Pavilion was sitting leisurely behind several layers of veils, still refusing to show his face, gently shaking a round fan in his hand.
Gu Lan had already thought of a perfect opening line, but for some reason, when he stood in front of this person, his heart was filled with a sense of unreality that could not be shelved. He felt that the room was a little strangely arranged, as if something was missing .
The owner of the Hui Pavilion opened his mouth first: "Qin doesn't know that the owner of the pavilion is here today, and he is far away from welcoming him. If the owner has any instructions, just ask."
Her voice is actually very young, even a bit delicate, emphatically biting the words "Qin" and "Gu", probably because she is dissatisfied with being called madam.
Gu Lan knew that his identity was exposed, and he also realized the disrespect just now, but what surprised him was that the owner of the Gray Pavilion was actually named Qin. "It's Gu Lan who is reckless. Wang Pavilion Master Haihan," Gu Lan said sincerely, "I just think that to be able to manage such a complicated organization well, he must be a mature and stable big man. I didn't expect the Pavilion Master to be so young at such a young age." What he did really made Gu feel ashamed."
"Haha," the owner of the Gray Pavilion smiled wildly, "The owner of the pavilion has never met me before, so how does he know that I am young? To be honest, I really like to hear you call me Mrs. Qin."
Ye Qin's breath suddenly turned cold, and his brows were deeply frowned.
Mrs. Qin said again: "I see the owner as before, and I am very willing to make another friend. The owner doesn't need to think too much, just explain the purpose of coming directly."
Gu Lan then explained the wandering situation to Mrs. Qin concisely and begged her to withdraw the deed before tomorrow: "As long as Madam agrees, no matter what the price is, Gu Lan will do his best."
After hearing his words, Mrs. Qin paused for a moment, and the wonderful shadow reflected on the lotus-colored veil suddenly leaned forward, and hooked her fingers at Gu Lan: "Do you mind talking about it soon, the owner?"
"Of course not..." Gu Lan was about to walk towards her without thinking, but Ye Qin grabbed his arm tightly.
Yeqin told him with mouth shape, be careful.
Gu Lan blinked, signaling him to relax.
One step, two steps, Gu Lan stopped at a suitable distance from the veil, and in the quietly hanging folds, it seemed that he could already glimpse the color of the person's clothes inside.
"Closer." Mrs. Qin said softly.
Gu Lan hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Ye Qin, and saw that he turned his face away coldly, walked to the wall and stood with his arms around his chest.Seeing that Gu Lan didn't move, Mrs. Qin smiled, lowered her voice, and leaned towards Gu Lan: "If you hadn't come today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the chance to see Lord Junzuo's true face, thank you to the owner first. "
Gu Lan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that she even knew Ye Qin's identity. He asked with a faint smile, "What does Madam want?"
"I don't lack gold, silver and treasures, and I don't care for any secret magical weapons." Judging from the distance of the voice, Madam Qin seemed to be speaking close to the curtain, but I don't know what kind of kung fu she used, and the light gauze curtain didn't feel the slightest. Being blown, "I'll keep this host in my heart. When I have difficulties in the future, I just ask the host to treat me like this good friend."
"Naturally," Gu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, "Gu Lan will never forget Madam's kindness."
Mrs. Qin said with a playful "Ai": "That's it, I can't talk to you anymore, that person by the wall seems to be eating me. Master, revoke the impermanence of the deed to go to the west of the city." Go down the street, Chengfeng will take you to find a man named She Youji, you just need to rest assured and follow him, but tonight is foggy, it may be slower to walk to the south of the city by water, but an hour is enough to go back and forth."
Gu Lan thanked Mrs. Qin again, and then left the room with Ye Qin.Chengfeng was waiting outside with a smile on his face. It seemed that he had received the arrangement from the pavilion master. He bowed to Gu Lan and said, "Sir, please come with me."
Chengfeng explained that Huige's usual transactions are settled on board. Mrs. Qin will carefully select some of the dozens of customer orders, and then discuss the specific rules and prices with them one by one. This process will continue. One hour, that is, the No.13 hour that belongs exclusively to Gray Pavilion.After this hour, all foreign passengers must disembark and are not allowed to stay for a while.
"It is said that after these people disembark, they will find that it is still the time before they got on the boat." Gu Lan's tone was half questioning and half statement.
Standing in the wind: "Don't you believe it, Mister?"
Gu Lan smiled and said, "Let me see it with my own eyes, and I'll be convinced."
"What's so difficult about this?" Cheng Feng couldn't hide his pride, "If you stay on the boat for an hour, sir, you'll find out when you get off the boat. But because you want to withdraw the contract, you have to go to the west of the city first, and the boat moves slowly in the fog. , I'm afraid there will be a delay."
Gu Lan said: "I understand what you mean, as long as I subtract the travel time after I go back, I can know the time I have stayed here so far, right?"
"Exactly. But Chengfeng wants to remind Mr. that after throwing away the time spent on the journey, all you can get is a blank."
The boat made a muffled sound after it started, and the time during the itinerary seemed more lengthy and boring than before. Gu Lan ate the peanuts that Yeqin had peeled for him, and asked, "From the place where we boarded the boat to Wuchang Street in the west of the city, what is the usual situation?" how long will it takes?"
Ye Qin squeezed the peanuts with one hand, and said impatiently: "Except for the rats in the stinking ditch, no one knows every corner, let alone such a poor and dirty place. .”
"Hey," Gu Lan dragged his chin and sighed, "Master Junzuo, is he saying that he doesn't know as many roads as stinky mice?"
Ye Qin snorted deeply, and his magnetic voice sounded irresistible: "Gu Lan, you are not an idler with nothing to do, and you have to pay attention to appropriate trade-offs when doing things. If you put so much energy into an unnecessary person, if In the end it's just a busy day, what are you going to do."
Gu Lan leaned on his arm and yawned lazily: "It's just for one night, don't be so stingy."
"You can do a lot of things in one night," Ye Qin said coldly, "The Saha Hall also has its own rules, that is, never do anything that loses money, owner, you should pay for your willfulness this night."
Gu Lan buried his face in his arms and couldn't help but chuckle.If the person sitting here at this time is someone who is not familiar with Ye Qin, he will definitely be frightened by his strong expression and cold words, and mistakenly think that he is really angry.But Gu Lan can't, he knows Ye Qin too well, he knows that as long as Ye Qin moves his eyebrows, he can know whether the person is surprised or happy, or if it's just a simple nose discomfort, he would rather bear it than Knead with your hands.
Ye Qin's implication was to tell Gu Lan that he was very upset now, and he was not Gu Lan's dog, so why should he be called around?
Man, I don't like you
