Chapter 50 Shameless? (Part 1)
Li Xun met up with Mao Anfu and others for a drink, and the newly recruited younger brother Jiang Daxiong naturally followed them.
Everyone didn't go to a very high-end place, they just found an ordinary restaurant.
The four of them found a table and sat down. Shan Qiu said, "This place looks average, but the wine is very good."
Li Xun laughed and said nonchalantly: "When people on the wrong side are together, no matter how good the place is, no matter how good the food and wine are, it will be boring."
Mao Anfu patted Shan Qiu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Li Xun is a free and easy man and doesn't care about those empty things."
Shan Qiu nodded.
The waiter came over and asked politely: "Guests, what do you want to eat?"
Everyone came here to drink. Shan Qiu said impatiently: "First, let's get ten jins of the best Sanlixiang."
Mao Anfu laughed and said: "Brother Shan, you are too anxious. How can you do it with wine and no food?"
Shan Qiu said: "I only care about the wine, you can take care of what you want to eat."
Li Xun said to Jiang Daxiong, who was silent on the side: "Daxiong, what do you want to eat?"
"White rice, you said you'd be satisfied."
Li Xun laughed loudly when he heard this, and said to the waiter: "First, five kilograms of beef, five kilograms of pork, and whatever delicious dishes you are good at, just bring them up, and then there will be white rice for ten people."
The waiter glanced at a few people and said hesitantly: "Sir, if you order so much at once, can the four of you finish it?"
Li Xun waved his hand: "As long as we don't miss your meal money, you don't need to worry about the rest."
The waiter nodded and stepped back.
The wine was brought up first, five jars of wine, each jar weighing two kilograms.
Shan Qiu couldn't wait to open a jar of wine, put it to his mouth, raised his head and started drinking. After half the jar of wine was consumed, Shan Qiu put down the jar of wine and said cheerfully: "It's so happy, it's so happy."
Li Xun and Mao Anfu drank separately, but Jiang Daxiong didn't drink. Li Xun asked him, but he shook his head and said that he rarely drank and had no interest in wine.
After a while, the food was served. Jiang Daxiong looked at the table full of food, looked at Li Xun, and asked thoughtfully: "Can I eat as much as I really want?"
Li Xun rolled his eyes: "I am your boss, can I still lie to you? Just eat and be satisfied."
There was joy on Jiang Daxiong's face, he took the rice pail and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Such a rice bucket was enough to feed Li Xun and the other three people, but Jiang Daxiong actually ate two large buckets and several kilograms of beef and pork. Then he wiped his mouth with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Li Xun and others were dumbfounded. Mao Anfu smiled bitterly and said, "No wonder your brother wants to give you away. Most people can't really afford to support you."
Jiang Daxiong put his head aside and giggled, obviously a little embarrassed.
Li Xun smiled, took a wine jar and pushed it to Jiang Daxiong: "Drink some!"
Jiang Daxiong nodded, picked up the jar of wine, drank it all in one gulp, smacked his lips, as if he was still unfinished, took another jar of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
While Shan Qiu was surprised at his drinking capacity, he said with some distress: "Why do you drink like water? Do you taste it?"
Jiang Daxiong curled his lips and said disdainfully: "What kind of wine is this? When I was a child in the Mobei grassland, the wine I drank was much stronger than this, so that's what I call wine."
Li Xun took a deep look at him. It seemed that Jiang Daxiong was also a person with a past story.
When paying the bill, Shanqiu suddenly had a wry smile on his face when he heard that it was twenty taels. He took out his wallet and said awkwardly: "I didn't bring that much money."
Li Xun chuckled, took out the banknote and gave it to the waiter.
Shanqiu said sheepishly: "I agreed that I would treat you."
"We are all brothers, so there is no need to be so polite. I will be the one to invite you next time."
Shanqiu nodded, glanced at Jiang Daxiong, and thought that if he was present next time, he would definitely bring more of this money with him.
After leaving the restaurant, Shan Qiu had to report to the Ministry of War, and Mao Anfu also had to go back to the military camp to deal with some matters. Li Xun said goodbye to them and prepared to go home. At noon, he had to go to the palace with his father to visit his aunt. He smelled of alcohol and had to go back.
Take a shower first.
As the two of them walked on the road, it must be said that Jiang Daxiong had a high rate of turning heads. In this world, people with such a height are really rare.
Li Xun was walking and suddenly stopped because he heard a familiar name, Fan Zhongyun.
From a nearby teahouse, several young people came out, chatting and laughing happily.
"Then Fan Zhongyun is brave enough to dare to break into the residence of the consort Xiong Haitao. Now it's good that he no longer has to be an official."
"I heard that he borrowed money everywhere, but no one was willing to lend it. It seems that this person has extremely bad character."
Li Xun walked up and asked loudly: "The one you guys are talking about is Fan Zhongyun, Zuotong Shi of the East Palace?"
Several young people glanced at Li Xun, and one of them nodded and said, "This is the man, do you know him?"
Li Xun's face darkened and he asked anxiously: "What happened to him?"
These people saw that Li Xun was dressed unusually and must be a son of an official, so they told what happened.
About five or six days ago, Fan Zhongyun's wife's condition worsened and she continued to vomit blood. Fan Zhongyun invited many famous doctors to treat her, but they were unable to do anything and her condition became more serious. He heard that the consort Xiong Haitao had a way to save his wife's life, so he went to plead for mercy, but was unable to do so.
Fan Zhongyun was so angry when he was rejected that he forced his way into Xiong Haitao's house and was beaten out by his servants. The matter was known to the imperial censor and was reported to the Ministry of Personnel, who sternly rebuked Fan Zhongyun and dismissed him from his official position.
.
"I heard that Fan Zhongyun's wife has been paralyzed in bed for more than ten years, causing him to owe a lot of debt. Isn't it a good thing to die now? Why be so persistent!"
"Hehe, Fan Zhongyun should be happy about the three great blessings in life: promotion, getting rich, and the death of his wife."
Several young people burst out laughing.
Li Xun clenched his fists, feeling extremely guilty. He had been back for three or four days, but he had not visited Fan Zhongyun. If he hadn't happened to meet these people today, he might not have known about it.
Li Xun glanced at these people and saw that they were making fun of Fan Zhongyun. There were many insults in their words. He suddenly became furious and stretched out his fist to hit a young man in the face.
"Ouch, why did you hit someone?"
"You are the one I'm beating."
Li Xun yelled and stepped forward and was beaten violently. After all, Li Xun had been on the battlefield and had been trained. How could a few weak scholars be his opponents? He beat these young men to the ground with a few blows.
Wail and beg for mercy.
"Boss, do you need my help?"
Jiang Daxiong said muffledly from the side.
Li Xun clapped his hands and glanced at him angrily: "Didn't you see that I have already solved them? What else can I do with you now? Please remember it for me. Next time I take action, you will immediately do it for me."
Follow up, don't stand there and watch the fun."
"I know, boss."
