Chapter 315: Invitation

After leaving the palace with Yu Qian, it was already a little late. After leaving the palace gate, Jiang Lang was about to say goodbye to Yu Qian, but Yu Qian said first: "You have been in trouble on the way. I will be the host to invite you to dinner this night. It can be regarded as a welcome gift for you."

Jiang Lang originally wanted to postpone it, but when he came back, Yu Qian wanted to welcome him. He was not afraid of him, so he refused to refuse. He immediately bowed and said, "Then Mr. Yu will spend money."

Yu Qian laughed and said, "We have to say these polite words, so we can see each other. Let the coachman go back and say something to the princess so that they won't be anxious at home."

This sentence was very useful to Jiang Lang, and it also showed Yu Qian's carefulness. He was quite touched. He nodded and agreed, asked the driver to go back first, brought a message to Zi Ling and the others, and he sat in Yu Qian's carriage and drove towards the restaurant.

The nights in the capital city in early winter were already very cold, but they still couldn't stop its prosperity. People came and went up the streets, and the shouts of hawkers doing business were heard one after another, and a lively scene. This scene made Jiang Lang couldn't help but think of Chengdu in the original society. When he completed the task, he took it there for a while and also experienced the nights in Chengdu. It was said that Chengdu was the most leisurely city. As expected, all kinds of night markets were dazzling, and all kinds of snacks and food stalls were cheap, and the taste was also good. Now the nights in the capital city have the same taste as the original society.

Seeing Jiang Lang's deity, Yu Qian thought Jiang Lang was thinking about something, but he didn't disturb him at the moment. He pressed his eyes to take care of himself. Now the battle with Wats is about to be up, and he has to worry about many things. After a day, Yu Qian was also a little tired.

Along the street, the carriage arrived in front of a restaurant without any situation. The coachman stopped the car and shouted respectfully: "Two sirs, the restaurant has arrived!"

The two people in the car, each with their own thoughts, woke up all the time, and then got off the carriage after making some polite tricks.

After getting off the carriage, Jiang Lan looked at the restaurant slightly. It was not big, but there were many customers inside. It was also quite good on this cold night.

"Mr. Wang, please!"

Yu Qian said politely at this time, then walked inside, and said as he walked: "Don't look at this restaurant as small, but it tastes good. Moreover, I heard that the owner of this restaurant has some relationship with you?"

"oh?"

Jiang Lang thought for a moment and found that there were very few people who had direct relationships with him in the capital, and no one had any relationship with him. He was also a little surprised and said, "I don't have any relatives in the capital, how could I have relationships with me?"

Yu Qian smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't finish your words first, let's go in and take a look."

The two of them had just come out of the palace and were still wearing official uniforms. Although it was too late, they entered the restaurant and the lights in the restaurant also looked very conspicuous. Moreover, the official uniforms of the court were different due to their official positions. The patterns on the clothes were different. It was said that they only knew that there were many officials when they arrived in the capital. Although the waiters in this shop usually came to the hall, their knowledge was not necessarily worse than others. Moreover, when they saw the official uniforms, they knew what rank they were.

As usual, Jiang Lang and the other two entered the hotel, and the waiter came up. When they saw the patterns on the clothes, they couldn't help but be scared. The two came in and were both high-ranking officials, and the young ones were all third-rank officials. You should know that although some officials in this restaurant usually came in to drink, they were all small officials. Now when they saw two high-ranking officials, even though the waiter couldn't help but feel a little panicked at first, but he immediately calmed down and shouted loudly: "The distinguished guest is here, the elegant seat upstairs."

The lowest ones who come are third-rank officials, so naturally it is impossible for others to make a lobby.

After the waiter shouted, he immediately smiled and said with a charming smile: "Sir, there is a elegant seat upstairs, please go upstairs."

"No hurry, no hurry!"

Yu Qian waved his hand, with a smile on his face, and said, "Call your shopkeeper and say that an old friend is coming to visit."

The waiter couldn't help but be scared. It turned out that the two who came were still the boss's old friends. He didn't hesitate and hurriedly said, "Then wait, I'll call us the shopkeeper right away."

After saying that, he hurried to the boss like a burning butt.

Jiang Lang was full of doubts, but Yu Qian was reluctant to reveal anything, so he had to wait. The two of them were standing in front of the counter in official uniforms, which naturally attracted the attention of many people. Some curious people looked at the two of them carefully, but when they saw their clothes, they were so scared that they felt that they didn't see them and continued to eat.

After a while, the waiter walked out with a man in brocade clothes. Jiang Lang felt a little familiar with him, but he couldn't remember it. The owner of the store recognized Jiang Lang and immediately said, "Sir, why did you come to me today? This makes my small shop... bright and bright."

After saying that, when he saw Jiang Lang looking puzzled, he immediately realized that Jiang Lang might not know him anymore, and quickly explained: "Sir, you don't know villain anymore? I am Long Da, the one you picked up Xiaoling away."

"Uncle Long?"

Jiang Lang suddenly remembered that the boss in front of him was the Uncle Long who took Jiang Ling in the first place, but the Uncle Long in front of him was not talking about the Uncle Long who opened a small Chaos shop on the side of the road. Not only did his clothes have changed a lot, but he also gained a lot of weight.

When Jiang Lang recognized the person, his doubts were resolved. No wonder Yu Qian said that this person knew him. It turned out that this person was Uncle Long. However, what he didn't expect was that he could develop his small Chaos Store into such a restaurant. It was not easy for him to develop his small Chaos Store into such a restaurant in the capital. He smiled and said, "I didn't know that you didn't know that you opened this restaurant, and Lord Yu didn't say it."

"That's thanks to you!"

Uncle Long hurriedly thanked and said, "If you hadn't asked Xiaoling to give me a sum of money, I used this money to make some money in a small business, and now I'm still setting up a stall on the side of the road to buy Chaos. Okay, OK, it's cold outside, I've asked someone to prepare a private room above, go up and have a drink for two cups, and I'll treat you today."

Yu Qian smiled and said, "It's best to have you treat you. I didn't bring a copper cow today, so Lord Wang is not going there, so we ran to you to serve the meal."

Long Da waved his hand quickly and said, "You two are distinguished guests. I usually invite you and you will have time to come. Now you two are here in person. That is a great honor for the villain. The villain is so eager to ask for it! Come... Come... Come... Please."

Jiang Lang and Yu Qian looked at each other and smiled slightly, nodded slightly, and followed Long Da to the restaurant.

Many diners heard the conversation between the three people. Many people were surprised. They didn't expect that the backstage of the owner of this restaurant was so tough and knew both the two high-ranking officials of the court, so many people's eyes changed a little.

Jiang Lang and others didn't know what was going on below. Under the leadership of Long Da, the two of them climbed to a private room on the second floor and opened the door. Jiang Lang found that although the layout of the whole room was not luxurious, it was very exquisite and had a touch of elegant taste. There was also a small charcoal stove in the room. In this cold early winter, the room felt very warm, making people feel like home.

Because this is a hotel run by Uncle Long, Jiang Lang naturally wanted to praise it, nodded and said, "It's not bad, the layout is pretty good."

"You've been over the award!"

Long Da hurriedly said, "Because the money is not much, I can only set it up simply. Compared with those big restaurants, I am far behind."

Jiang Lang waved his hand and smiled, "That's not what it means. Those big hotels that are decorated very luxuriously are for the rich people to eat, but the capital is not all rich people, and there are some people with average income. If you decorate it simply, the food is naturally cheaper. Those people are treating guests to dinner, and those big taverns are not afraid to go to. The prices are high and they can't afford it. If you come here, will you feel embarrassed to come here. Over time, will you come here like a guest? There is no need for those big taverns to be bad for this business."

Yu Qian also echoed next to him: "Mr. Wang is right, and this is the reason. This big tavern makes big money from rich people. If you make small money, you will make small money. With less and more crowds, how can you end up being inferior to those big taverns?"

Long Da hurriedly bowed and said, "The two adults are very honest. I think so too. I thought about it when I opened a Chaos Shop, and the price was fair and there were many people who ate. Although I made some money, I could support my family. I could do it before, but now it is natural. To put it bluntly, I still support my family. I don't expect any wealth. I just hope that my own family can live a good life and be safe for the rest of my life. I am also content."

Jiang Lang nodded slightly. Long Da’s words made great sense. Ordinary people did not want anything, and they only wanted a peaceful life.

During the time I was chatting with Long Da, the shop had already brought the dish up. It was a small hot pot. There was a copper pot on a small charcoal stove. The soup in the pot had been boiled and was bubbling. As for the side dishes, the meat and vegetables were very well matched, it was naturally the best choice. In this cold season, eating some of these can not only warm your body, but also chat while eating, so you don’t have to worry about the cold dish.

Long Da is also a tactful person. After a few polite words, he knew that the two of them had some private words. He immediately said, "You two are slow. I'll ask someone to wait outside the door. If you have any questions, you can just tell me."

Yu Qian smiled and said, "You are going to work hard too. If you know Lord Wang, then we don't treat ourselves as outsiders, but we won't save it."

Long Da quickly replied, "Mr. Yu, you will be out of your way. You two are my distinguished guests. Moreover, Lord Wang has made another kindness to Xiaomin. I want you to come to my place for dinner every day."

After saying that, he bowed and said, "You two are here first, I'll go down and get busy."

After the two nodded and agreed, he left. After leaving, he carefully brought the door.

Yu Qian and Jiang Lang also sat down now, picked up the wine pot, and after Yu Qian poured a glass of wine for Jiang Lang, he said, "I have been to this tavern several times. The taste is pretty good and the price is fair. Later, after inquiring, I found out that I had supported them at the beginning, so I'll drag you here today."

Jiang Lang smiled and said, "I also gave him some money to thank him for taking in my wife's maid. However, this money is a dead thing. How to use this money depends on myself."

Yu Qian picked up the chopsticks, put some beef in the soup and cooked it gently, and then stirred it with the chopsticks, then said: "But this honest person will be bullied, so I called you here today, maybe you should ask someone to take care of it."

"oh?"

Jiang Lang's face couldn't help but sank slightly and asked, "Who are they?"

"You gangster who is the joint!"

Yu Qian replied casually, "They dare not act rashly for those restaurants with backstage, but they are very arrogant about small restaurants such as Longda. Because the business here is good, they have a bigger appetite. Longda is also an honest person. Although you give the money to open a tavern, you are unwilling to mention you, so you spend money honestly every time. Over time, those people's appetites have become bigger, and this Longda is not very easy to live. I originally wanted to interfere, but it is difficult to come. After thinking about it, it is best for your Dongchang people to come forward. They usually come once every three days. You are lucky. They may come tonight, so you can do it."

Jiang Lang's face darkened, and he naturally knew who Yu Qian said that those gangsters were, most of them were responsible for the local officials, so the government below turned a blind eye to them, and when they saw nothing, they let them do whatever they wanted, and most of the money they got was paid for 10% or 00%.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious!"

Yu Qian said slightly that the beef in the pot is now cooked. He picked up a piece and put it in Jiang Lang's bowl. Then he said, "You have asked someone to inform you just now and tell them that you are here. It may be time for them to do it. You are now a third-rank official and fighting with those gangsters. That is really inappropriate. If it is spread, it will be laughed at."

Jiang Lang was a little surprised by Yu Qian's arrangement, but he also felt that he was careful. As he said, it was indeed a bit inappropriate for him to come forward, and it was also a bit inappropriate for him to do it himself. It was best to leave it to the people below. In Jiang Lang's heart, the people he hated the most were these gangsters. They were young and did not rely on their own hands to make a living, but they were bullying ordinary people. This was angering.

However, Jiang Lang was born in a special forces force after all. He was born without practicing for three days. He was old and had fewer opportunities to do it. He left everything to the people below to find someone to learn martial arts. The people below were afraid of hurting themselves, so he was trembling and did not dare to work hard. He won every time he won and couldn't enjoy it. Later, he felt that the fight was meaningless.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lang couldn't help but sigh and said, "To be honest, I really want to do it. I haven't done it for a long time. I feel something is wrong with it. Sun Yuanbiao's bunny guys always dodge every time they practice with me. I was happy that day. I found a place where no one knew me and asked those bandits and bullies to vent."

Yu Qian couldn't help but shake his head, put a piece of beef in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and then he said, "You are now the head of the East Factory. Sun Yuanbiao and the others naturally have to be careful. Not to mention whether they can hurt you, what if they hurt you? If you really want to do it, I'll take care of it."

"oh?"

Jiang Lang suddenly became interested, looked at Yu Qian and asked, "Do you tell me quickly?"

Yu Qian laughed and said, "Isn't this simple yet?"

After saying that, he looked up and shouted out of the door, "Come."

The door was immediately pushed open, and a waiter came in. He immediately bent down and said respectfully: "My adults have any things that need small things to do, please explain it."

"It's not a big deal!"

Yu Qian smiled slightly and said, "Go and find a servant's clothes that are similar to Lord Wang. Go immediately, don't delay."

The waiter was very surprised, but he didn't dare to ask too much, so he hurriedly went out to find clothes.

Jiang Lang also understood at this time and smiled and said, "You said you want me to accompany the people."

"That's!"

Yu Qian smiled and said, "Your official uniform, let alone beating, this scare will scare those little bastards to death. Even if you beat them to death, they will not dare to fight back. What else do you mean? Only if you are a commoner, they will not have any concerns and you can have a good time! Besides, we will definitely eat other people's bosses for nothing to eat tonight, and we have to help. I have no power to tie the chicken, so I can only rely on you!"

Although Yu Qian looked a little scammered, Jiang Lang didn't feel anything wrong now. Instead, he felt a little grateful. He pinched the fist in his hand and smiled: "I hope those kids can have some effort, otherwise it would be a pity that the adults were kind!"

Yu Qian smiled and said, "I hope, but you should be more cautious when you start. Don't make a life. Although it is easy to solve even if a life is killed, the court is about to send troops. You may have to go to war with the army. At this time, some people in the court cannot catch the handle, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

Jiang Lang was a little surprised at this time and said, "I want me to go to the war with the army?"

Yu Qian nodded cautiously and said, "The Emperor and I discussed it carefully during the period when you went to Hangzhou. We thought it would be better for you to command the troops. The outstanding generals in the court suffered a lot in the last war. Now many of these have been promoted. In order not to happen like the last time, we finally decided that you should command the troops."

"This burden is a bit heavy!"

Jiang Lang couldn't help but sigh, "I'll ask me to command the troops, those people in the court may have quite objections."

Yu Qian nodded slightly and said, "That's true. The emperor mentioned this in the morning dynasty some time ago. The ministers in the court reported differently. Those who opposed it thought that you were young and might not have enough experience in leading the army, and they would repeat the same mistakes. There were also many people supporting you. However, generally speaking, the number of people on both sides was similar, and of course they were still a little unstable, probably waiting and watching."

Jiang Lang picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of beef, but he immediately put it down. To be honest, he was really not sure about the matter of commanding the army. The army of hundreds of thousands is not the commanding one thousand people. The greater the official position, the greater the responsibility. Although there is a saying that a general becomes famous, thousands of bones are woven, Jiang Lang is still worried that he will lose the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers by mistake.

Yu Qian saw the hesitation in Jiang Lang's heart and said, "What? Are you worried?"

Jiang Lang nodded, and did not intend to hide it, saying, "I am indeed a little worried. To be honest, I have not had the experience of commanding so many armies, and I am afraid that I will betray the holy grace."
