Chapter 86 – Leading the Imperial Guards into a Fight
“Shopkeeper, do you still have rooms here?”
At this time there came a voice from downstairs that was clearly above the talking in the store. Zhao Su was carrying tea and glanced downstairs obediently, only to see that the ones coming were a young girl and a young man, both of them were notably dressed, and a group of slaves were following behind them.
“I’m sorry you two, today the room is full, I don’t know if it’s feasible for you two to sit in the store?”
“No, we have important things to discuss, we must have a room.” It was this young girl who spoke, “Our family is a regular customer here, you wouldn’t even recognize me, would you? Now that it’s still early in the day, there are bound to be some rooms that don’t have guests yet, so please make a room for us.”
Even if it’s still early and some rooms have no guests, it’s still a room that people have already booked, so if they come late, do they have to let you have it?
Zhao Su heard here in the guessing do not know which family out of the lady in here, this idea just fell, that girl just turned around, and also tilted his head to look upstairs.
This caused Zhao Su to instantly see her face without any cover or hindrance, and then her heart thumped! But before she could react, the woman downstairs had suddenly stopped looking and shouted out her name: “Zhao Su?!”
Who did you think it was?
It was He Wan Yu, the eldest granddaughter of He Zong, the Minister of Public Works, who had deliberately invited the original owner to the theater club to be taunted by all the children before she crossed over!
Right after the original owner was summoned to the palace by Empress Lu, they opened a bet on her life and death on the spot. Subsequently, Zhao Su came out of the palace unharmed, and this Miss He even made a special trip with her mother to the Marquis’ residence to find out what was going on!
So to put it mildly, Zhao Su still had a score to settle with them! I didn’t expect to meet them here today?
“I can’t believe it’s you here!”
After He Wan Yu shouted Zhao Su’s full name out of her mouth, she quickly revealed a smile and lifted up her skirt as if she had seen an old friend, briskly coming up the stairs.
When Zhao Su retracted her gaze, the door to this side room was pushed open, and He Wan Yu appeared in the doorway, smilingly nodding to the people present before walking over to Zhao Su’s side: “Sister Su, I’ve heard that you’ve been promoted to the rank of Imperial Guard, and I haven’t had the chance to congratulate you yet! I didn’t expect to meet you here today.”
Zhao Su put down her cup, “We are so close, how can you not come to congratulate me so late? If not, you can pay for this meal today!”
He Wan Yu obviously didn’t expect to get such a reply from her, a bunch of smiles froze on her face, half a day was not able to ease over.
Next to Pei Zhan, several of them couldn’t help but shake their fists and laugh lightly.
Previously He Wan Yu in the downstairs talk, they are not unheard, Dongxing building position difficult to book on, this is everyone knows, by what people easily snatched the room, because you have a special identity and let you?
At first glance, it is not a good deal of people, not to mention that we are all the children of the capital, each other are acquainted with.
But they didn’t expect He Wan Yu to face this choke from Zhao Su as soon as she came up. Seeing He Wan Yu speechless, it was really a relief.
He Wan Yu’s face instantly became embarrassed under this laughter. However, she was unable to refute Zhao Su’s words, earlier saying that she hadn’t congratulated her yet, wasn’t that exactly what she had said?
She straightened her face and looked at Zhao Su: ”Sister Su, you’re not someone who lacks money for this meal, so why say such words to make people look down on you? When I said I wanted to congratulate you, naturally I was turning around to come to your door to have fun.”
“I’m not the one who lacks the money for the meal, Miss He said to congratulate me again and refused to show sincerity, does it mean that you, Miss He, are the one who lacks the money for this meal?”
Pei Zhan and the others have never seen Zhao Su dislike anyone before, right now, seeing that he is so smart-mouthed, they feel joyful and happy, the laughter that they were hiding earlier can’t be hidden anymore, everyone looks at each other with a big smile on their face, and then all of them pick up their teacups to watch the show.
He Wan Yu was made to lose face by Zhao Su, and couldn’t help but get a little angry: ”Are you eating gunpowder today, and you’ve specifically come to spread fire with me? If you want me to invite you to dinner, I will invite you some other day. But today you have to let me have this room!”
“Why do I have to give this room to you? By virtue of the fact that your He Family is more powerful than our Zhao Family, or by virtue of the fact that you, Miss He, are better at putting on airs than I, Zhao Su?”
The He family is also considered a family in Yanjing, He Zong in the previous dynasty has been a big official, talent is still there, and then the court corruption, he also resigned and went into hiding, until later the late emperor on the way to set the country in need of talent, so he asked him to come out to help, and he just by a mouth on the previous dynasty of a general guarding the city bamboozled the city gates.
In terms of family lineage, in the past, the He family of the scholarly family was indeed more noble than the Zhao family of the military generals, but in terms of today, the He family had not yet reached the point where they were on par with the founding generals.
Zhao Su asking this was undoubtedly sticking He Wanyu on a rack and roasting her.
When Pei Zhan heard this, he probably also saw that Zhao Su and her had long been somewhat at odds, so he also opened his mouth, “Whether this room is allowed or not, it’s useless for you to ask Squire Zhao, this room is set by me, whether it’s allowed or not has to be up to me.”
He Wan Yu has already glanced a bellyful of anger, heard the words then towards Pei Zhan glared back. The young man who walked in behind him heard this and immediately said to Pei Zhan: “When is it your turn to interrupt when Wan Yu is talking to Miss Zhao?”
Hearing this, the few brothers standing next to the accompaniment put their cups on the table and made a gesture to stand up.
Pei Zhan reached out and held them down, looking back at the man with cold eyes, “So it’s Mr. Wu who follows his cousin around all day long, what’s the matter? The large He Mansion is not enough for you cousins to talk, and you have to specially run outside to rob other people’s compartments?”
Wu Gongzi is He Zong’s grandson Wu Xiuping, that is, He Wan Yu’s second aunt’s son, He Zong’s three daughters are the number of the second daughter married to the husband’s family’s status is the lowest, so Wu Xiuping the only son from childhood by his mother regularly sent to the He Mansion to live in the small.
He Zong probably owes something to his second daughter, so among all the grandchildren, Wu Xiuping is the only one who is a little biased.
It is no secret that Wu Xiuping has been following He Wan Yu around since she was a child, listening to her instructions.
When Zhao Su heard Pei Zhan say that Wu Xiuping always loved to run with this cousin, she suddenly remembered that she had asked Hua Qianrong to check the list of all the children in the theater club, and there was Wu Xiuping’s name!
Good fellow, still said that there is no opportunity to meet with these people, this came to two!
Zhao Su was instantly energized. “So Duke Wu is helping Miss He out to steal the territory? I also wonder how much Mr. Wu lost in gambling the last time I was summoned to the palace by the Empress Dowager?”
