Chapter 121: Hanshan Pavilion

Li Qing's basic mission to return to Luoyang was completed. He accepted the emperor's imperial edict and reached a temporary strategic consensus with Li. He met his mother and successfully gave her a formal identity. He even accidentally knocked out ten thousand craftsmen from the emperor, which was overcompleted. The rest was to talk with his mother, and then play with the scenic spots in Luoyang. When he left, he saw the emperor and gave his words to him and then he could go back to Dingzhou.

Li Qing was particularly relaxed these days. Except for the necessary personnel around him, the rest of the guards were on vacation. However, Yang Yidao and Tang Hu were loyal to their duties. Although Li Qing asked them to travel to Luoyang, it would be worthwhile to go to the capital. He knew that both of them were born and raised in Dingzhou. He only heard of the name of the metropolis like Luoyang and did not see their appearance. But both of them refused. Tang Hu's answer made Li Qing laugh, "Master, what's the fun of it? It's just that there are many people. It's better for us Dingzhou. The sky is high and the earth is far away. It's a joy to ride a horse. Here, I don't dare to let the horse run, for fear of accidentally hitting someone and causing trouble for the general."

"Okay, okay, since you and the other two must follow me, let's accompany me to the famous Hanshan Pavilion in the capital today for a vegetarian meal. The vegetarian food there is a famous Chu."

"Suzhai?" Tang Hu glared at his one-eye and scratched his head, "Master, what is the delicious food in vegetarian food? Can it make people fade out of the birds in your mouth? It's a big fish and meat, and you can eat it happily."

Li Qing reached out and knocked his head hard, "You are a lump, not everyone can eat this vegetarian food. You have to book it several days ago, and it is extremely expensive. You are the lieutenant Zhenwu, and you will be a general immediately. You are no different from a soldier. You have never seen the world."

Tang Hu touched his head with grievance, "Are I just a soldier in front of the Grand Marshal? You said he was delicious, just go with you. I can only have one meal. When I come back, I will buy another roast chicken and add a meal."

Li Qing couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, when I come back, I will definitely buy you a roast chicken and add another hoof?"

"That would be better!" Tang Hu was overjoyed, his one-eyed eyes shining.

Everyone laughed, but Tang Hu looked left and right in confusion, "What's so funny? Roasted chicken and hoofs are really delicious. I used to want to eat it but couldn't eat it, but now I can't eat it."

Everyone shook their heads speechless.

Hanshan Pavilion is located near the outer city of the palace. In the Hanshan Pavilion, you can see the towering outer city of the palace and the imperial guards guarding the city gate. Although this is not the Juxiang Street where high-ranking officials gather, it is a prime location where every inch of land is valuable and huge merchants are everywhere. In ordinary places in Luoyang, it only costs a thousand taels of silver to buy a small courtyard with a garden, but here you don’t have a hundred thousand taels to take it down.

Therefore, although Hanshan Pavilion is very famous, it is quite small. A three-story wooden building has a simple and elegant shape. Compared with the large restaurants on both sides of it that are decorated with brilliant golden walls, it is like a small house with a graceful jade standing on the street. Although it is not a sexy figure, it is also attracted by people's eyes.

Unlike other restaurants who are recruiting business, outside the small door of Hanshan Pavilion, it seems very calm. Only the three big words "Hanshan Pavilion" on the lintel make people notice the difference between him and other restaurants. Those with a little knowledge can see that the person who wrote this plaque is definitely not ordinary people.

When you open the curtain, you can see the scene in the museum at a glance. There are no separate small rooms. Instead, you use pairs of landscape calligraphy and paintings to draw small independent spaces on the partitions. The calligraphy and paintings are also from famous artists. Looking at the signatures on those calligraphy and paintings, it will make people shocked.

No wonder the Hanshan Pavilion has such a huge reputation. Li Qing said in his heart that the calligraphy and paintings of these celebrities alone made the Hanshan Pavilion worth a hundred times the value. Li Qing, who came here for the first time, was also surprised. He really didn't know who the boss behind the Hanshan Pavilion was, and he could make people write and paint for his mere screens. Li Qing couldn't help but become curious.

"General Li!" A handsome servant came up, "The seat you booked is on the third floor and has been prepared for you."

"How do you know me?" Li Qing asked strangely. They were all wearing casual clothes today. Outsiders seemed to him and Qingfeng like a young couple, while Yang Yidao and other personal guards were like bodyguards. At first glance, they were no different from those ordinary young men of the noble family.

The servant smiled, "My master recognized the general and told us about the general's appearance. When the young man saw that you looked very good, he came to invite him with a courageous courage, but he didn't want to do so."

Li Qing stared at him for a while, and after returning to Luoyang, he did not see many people. How could a business owner know him? He was surprised and couldn't help but show his sharpness in his eyes. He looked at the servant a little furious and sling his hands uneasily. Li Qing nodded slightly and led everyone up one after another. No matter who the shopkeeper was, if he had any intentions for him, he would always jump out by himself.

After going upstairs, I was very happy when I saw it. This independent small room was very well located, just by the window, sitting here, the imperial city opposite was unobstructed, and even the scenery of the inner city could be seen. There were obviously people in the other compartments, but they were very quiet, with occasional whispers coming from the occasional occasion. The atmosphere made Tang Hu, who had always been very nervous, hold his breath, for fear of making some special sound.

The first thing that came to the table was a few plates of exquisite snacks and a pot of jasmine tea. The servant poured everyone into the cups attentively. A fragrance spread out with the rising water vapor. Qingfeng carefully picked up the small teacup, took a sip, and nodded and said, "Excellent, the tea is good, the method of making tea is better." As for Li Qing, he didn't understand these methods, and Tang Hu and Yang Yidao and others were even more unbearable. Tang Hu grabbed the water into his mouth with a sip, smacked his lips, and whispered in dissatisfaction: "Miss, what's the good about this tea? There is no tea smell at all, and the cup is so small. This little water is not enough to wet my old Tang's mouth." In Dingzhou, they always called Qingfeng the director. When they arrived in Luoyang, Li Qing ordered them to call Qingfeng as Miss.

The servant on the side was stunned and Qingfeng looked embarrassed, and a sneer came from the next door, obviously he heard Tang Hu's words.

As if he knew he was saying the wrong thing, Tang Hu lowered his head and rubbed the small teacup in his huge palm. The servant on the side was frightened. Don’t break it with force. This small teacup is very valuable, and it is a set. One set is broken and the whole set is useless.

Li Qing twisted a piece of dessert, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and said while eating, "Everyone can taste it, it's very good."

Tang Hu looked around and saw that everyone had one piece, so he stretched out two fingers and picked up one piece. He actually imitated Li Qing and Qingfeng, opened his big mouth lightly, and showed his two teeth politely, bit off a little, chewed slowly in his mouth, and a smug smile appeared on his face. Smile? Didn’t I not learn it?

It was not important for him to learn. Everyone was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter. Even the servants on the side were so angry that they could not bear it. Such a fierce man was imitating Qingfeng's arrogant and timid way to eat snacks. Wouldn't it be more unbearable than that?

Li Qing covered her stomach and bent down with a smile. Qingfeng couldn't breathe. She lay on Li Qing's shoulder and kept coughing while coughing. While coughing, she kept laughing. Yang Yidao was drinking tea. Seeing Tang Hu's appearance, a mouthful of tea sprayed on Tang Hu's face. Tang Hu, who was dripping with tea on his face, looked at everyone in confusion, with an innocent look on his face.

"Who disturbs the tranquility here?" A dissatisfied voice came from the next door, followed by a series of footsteps. Li Qing hurriedly said, "Shut up, we're disturbing others." He turned to the servant who was serving the side and said, "Sorry, please tell your shopkeeper my apology."

Everyone stood up and was about to apologize to those who came to seek revenge. Only Tang Hu struggled with one eye, "What's wrong, why are you laughing so happily?"

"Shut up!" Yang Yidao shouted in a low voice, and Tang Hu immediately closed his mouth.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a person appeared in front of everyone, "Who is so upbringing? Let's take this place..." He was stunned before he finished speaking. Both sides looked at each other, and Li Qing's eyes couldn't help but narrow. The one who appeared in front of him was his half-brother, Li Feng.

The two stared at each other, their faces were all awkward. When they met unexpectedly in such a scene, they didn't know what to say? To be honest, Li Qing had no hatred for this younger brother. When he was abused by his mother, he was not born yet. Even if he fell to the ground, he was still a baby who didn't know anything about it. Now he is only fifteen years old, and in Li Qing's heart, he still has no children to grow up.

"Ahem, it's my brother!" Slowly, he uttered a few words from his mouth with difficulty. Li Feng's face turned red. He had no impression of this brother at all. Occasionally, he heard a few words from his mother's mouth and cursed him for dying early and entrusting his life. However, during this period, his ears were filled with praise for Li Qing. When he heard Li Qing's deeds, his heart, which was not yet fully mature, was not only full of worship, but also full of jealousy. If it were himself, he might have done this. Whenever he was alone, he always fantasized about being the one who was the one who was dominating in Dingzhou and killing all over the world.

Li Qing nodded slightly, "Oh, it's Li Feng, it's a coincidence. I've disturbed you and your friends. Should I sit together?"

Before Li Feng could answer, his body was squeezed aside, and a man in his early thirties appeared behind him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Li Feng, let you teach these ignorant grandsons a lesson, why didn't you hear any movement for a long time?"

Li Qing jumped and looked at the strange face that appeared in front of him. He was not tall, with a huge emerald ring on his thumb and a jade pendant hanging around his waist. At first glance, he looked quite handsome, but his face was a little swollen. It was because of excessive indulgence and nostrils were facing the sky. He almost didn't look at Li Qing and others in front of him, but just looked at Li Feng dissatisfied.

"Uncle, this is the eldest brother!" Li Feng said softly.

"Brother, when did you have a big brother? Is it Li Zheng?" He then turned his head to look at Li Qing and others. After seeing Li Qing's appearance clearly, he was stunned at first, and then he reacted and couldn't help laughing: "Li Feng, is he the eldest brother of your family? Isn't he just a bastard born to a girl?"
