Among the three hundred restaurants in Kyoto, Bamboo House is undoubtedly the number one.

The so-called manor pavilions are the four most famous places to play in Kyoto. Among them, the beauties leaving the garden are enchanting, the Qibao Pavilion contains treasures from all over the world, and the Bamboo Pavilion contains fine wines from all over the world. For example, the Pingjiang Double Steaming, a specialty of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, was originally intended by Pei Rong.

Mr. Xi once took out a pot of wine with a rather showy look on his face. It can be seen that this wine is difficult to buy in Daliang. However, in Zhulou, Pingjiang Double Steamed Wine is just a very common wine. As long as you

If you can get the money, you can drink till you die.

There is a rule in the Bamboo House that no matter who you are, you can only drink in the building and you are not allowed to buy the wine and take it back. Therefore, the business here is very lively, and the whole street is full of people.

At noon, Pei Yue led several soldiers and rode slowly forward.

"Master, everything you ordered has been completed." Qi Min followed Pei Yue and said in a low voice.

Pei Yue looked forward and said calmly: "It didn't arouse any suspicion, right?"

Qi Min is now in charge of many people. Although the business has closed down, these eyes and ears have not rested, but have continued their activities in secret. Looking back on the changes in the past year, the young man who wanted to compete with Deng Zai for favor has matured a lot.

Although the cleverness in his bones has not changed, the frivolity in his speech and behavior has become less frivolous. He is very satisfied with the current situation, full of motivation, and just wants to complete everything arranged by Pei Yue to perfection.

While controlling the horse, he leaned over and said: "According to the wishes of the young master, there is no concealment in Taige. I believe Lord Shen has already received the news. As for other places, we have done it very covertly, and the other party will never expect this.

This is information we proactively released."

"Good job." Pei Yue praised softly.

Qi Min's face was filled with joy, but he soon regained his composure.

The group arrived at the Bamboo House. After Pei Yue revealed his identity, he was immediately respectfully invited in by a distinguished guest. Qi Min and others went to the side building to have tea and wait.

As Zhike walked forward slowly, Pei Yue looked at the decoration inside the bamboo building, listening to the sweet sound of silk and bamboo in his ears, smelling the faint fragrance in the building, and the world's fine wines everywhere, as if he was in a drunken land.

Among them, I don’t know the time in the world.

On the top floor of the fifth floor, the door of the private room "Lanling" is open.

Zhike led Pei Yue to the door, bowed to the door, then stepped back more than ten steps and left.

Pei Yue raised his eyes and looked up. Although there was a picturesque screen inlaid with red sandalwood and hundreds of treasures blocking his view, he could still see that the interior of this elegant house was extremely spacious. It was no less spacious than the luxurious boxes he often went to in his previous life.

The furnishings and furnishings are several grades higher.

After walking around the screen, I saw a round table in front of me. A young man in regular clothes was sitting at the head of the table, looking at him from a distance.

Prince Palace Chief Shi Li Jinyan, whom he had met once before, was standing on the left side of the young man, and on the right side was a strong-looking man with a resolute face and shining eyes. In addition, there were more than ten people with graceful figures and handsome faces standing on both sides.

The good young maids all stood in solemn silence with their heads bowed.

There is no doubt that this young man who ate with great splendor was the eldest son of Emperor Kaiping, King Liu Xian of Lu.

Pei Yue, neither humble nor arrogant, stepped forward and saluted: "I have met His Royal Highness King Lu."

Liu Xian waved his hands with a gentle look on his face and said, "No need, today you and I are just talking about personal friendship, so sit down."

Pei Yue sat opposite him.

Two maids came to him, one helped him pour wine and the other handed him a warm towel.

After Pei Yue finished using the towel, he handed it back, took a steady look at the maid on the left, and said warmly: "Thank you."

The maid's cheeks were slightly red and she didn't dare to talk to her, so she left with a towel in hand.

Liu Xian, who noticed this scene, felt more and more relaxed. He pointed at the delicious food on the table and said, "Try it. If it doesn't suit your taste, ask someone from Zhulou to change it."

Although Pei Yue is not a young boy now, he has seen all kinds of banquets, but he is not that dignified yet. At the same time, he feels a little emotional in his heart, power in this world is the most important capital now, if he is not Viscount Zhongshan

, Without the respect of Gu Liang and the emperor, how could the eldest prince be so polite just as a merchant?

He picked up a dish with chopsticks with a calm expression on his face. After eating, he put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Your Highness, I know why you invited me here, but please forgive me for being rude. I don't want to sell my own property."

Li Jinyan and the mature man on the other side looked unhappy, as if they had guessed their reaction. Liu Xian raised his hand to stop their imminent move, and said with a smile on his face: "Do you think I want to seize your property?"

Pei Yue was slightly startled and looked at the other person blankly.

Liu Xian said calmly: "You are a minister that my father values. Even if you are still young and act a little arrogant, I will not care about you. I am afraid that you have misunderstood this matter. I heard that you have encountered some troubles."

, thinking that you are a younger generation and a descendant of Dingguo, so I want to help you. Since you don't want to, then let it go and we can just drink today."

These words were naturally watertight. Even if he was persuaded by Xu Song, he would not easily follow his words.

Pei Yue's cheeks turned red, and it seemed that he had not guessed the direction of the development of the matter, and was stunned on the spot for a moment.

Liu Xian stared into his eyes, smiled and said, "Just drink."

Pei Yue's eyes showed humiliation, grief and anger. It seemed that the pressure of the business during this period made him unable to stay calm. He drank the glass of wine in front of him in one gulp. He put the glass down heavily and said slightly sadly: "Your Highness, Li

Please forgive me for not accepting the price of one hundred thousand taels mentioned by Chang Shi."

Liu Xian suddenly felt a little bored. He had heard the story of Pei Yue before. He knew that this young man had renounced the Pei family and had the courage to start a business as big as Xiangyun Company. He thought he was a very difficult person to deal with.

With a green head, I never imagined that he would be such a waste. He couldn't hold himself back after just a few words and revealed all his trump cards.

As soon as he thought of this, he lost interest in continuing to serve Corporal Xian, and said with an indifferent expression: "Qibao Pavilion came to this king and wanted to help you solve your trouble. I thought about your origin and merits, so I reluctantly agreed to do it for you.

I'm a man. Nowadays, there are frequent problems with the business under your name. If you continue like this, you will suffer heavy losses sooner or later. One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, so you should be content with it."

Pei Yue gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, the business of briquettes is extremely profitable. The coal mine alone is more than one hundred thousand taels!"

Liu Xian sneered: "I heard that you bought the coal mine from the Ministry of Household Affairs for a total of thirty thousand taels of silver."

Pei Yue struggled and said: "It's because of my prescription that the coal mine becomes valuable. Doesn't Qibao Pavilion want the prescription?"

After Liu Xian was silent for a moment, he slowly said: "No need to say more, I have decided to let Qibao Pavilion add another fifty thousand taels. If you are unwilling, then I will not bother to care about these nonsense and let you fend for yourself."

After a long time, Pei Yue sat with a pale face, as if the last bit of strength had been sucked out of his body, and said silently: "Your Highness, please give me another five days to think about it carefully."

Liu Xian chuckled: "Okay."

If Pei Yue hadn't said the last word, he would still have some doubts, but after understanding the whole story in detail, and seeing with his own eyes today that this young man was not worthy of his reputation, Liu Xian felt that he had thought too much before.
