Chapter 96
The place where Zhang Yijiu treats guests to dinner is a Cantonese restaurant opened by Shisha Beach in the old palace.
If you can open a restaurant here and your business is booming, the boss has his own tricks.
When He Hanzhu arrived, he was no longer as sluggish as he was when he was at home in the morning, his clothes were neat and his spirits were full of energy.
Zhang Yijiu was waiting outside in person, and received someone, calling him brother, and chatting intimately. He walked through the garden and had a winding path. Finally, he came to a heavy building with a hard mountain and a ridge. He climbed the tower to the top private room and sat down. He followed up with a neat dressed waiter to make tea.
Zhang Yijiu smiled and said, "You must have never been here. It was only opened after you went to Tiancheng. After half a year, you became famous. Now it is the end of the year. If you want to have a meal, it is difficult not to say hello a few days in advance. I think you are tired of fish and meat, so let's change your taste today."
He Hanzhu sat leisurely and looked out the building through a flower window near him.
Near the front building, the waves are sparkling, and the west mountain is covered with snow in the distance.
"It seems that I have a good time today. If I don't have a few big dishes, I'll beat you hard. I'm sorry for this trip."
Zhang Yijiu made a call and smiled and said, "It's time to invite me long ago. I'll express my feelings. Today I'm getting my long-cherished wish."
Through He Hanzhu's introduction, Zhang Yijiu did things for the Fu family, and naturally he also made a lot of profits.
Since then, Zhang Yijiu has realized that he is unfathomable and has a sense of being clear and clear. He has completely attracted him as a confidant and wanted to treat him to a meal.
He said again: "It's a pity that you were injured a few days ago, so it's hard to persuade you to drink today, otherwise our brothers would not return without getting drunk. By the way, how are you in good health?"
He Hanzhu said it was okay, I would drink it next time and treat it myself. Zhang Yijiu happily agreed.
The two of them went back and forth, exchanged a few greetings, and ordered a few signature dishes from the menu, including floral chicken shredded chicken, five willow grouper, cabbage, and crab bird's nest. After serving, they chatted with the lake and mountains, and they were very speculative, and laughed in the private room.
After a meal, Zhang Yijiu ordered a pot of top-quality red-hearted Tieguanyin, the tea soup was clear and the orchid fragrance was refreshing. He stood up and poured tea for He Hanzhu himself.
He Hanzhu hurriedly pushed him, and Zhang Yijiu insisted.
"You only went to Tiancheng for half a year and then revealed the activities of East Asia pharmaceutical factories, and they have made great contributions to the country and the people. Now there is a great happy event soon. The so-called "good son-in-law by riding a dragon is like this man. I am just a mundane man who pours a cup of tea. Why are you polite to me?"
He Hanzhu no longer refused, picked up the teacup and tasted it.
"Brother Zhang, you are making fun of me. What a good son-in-law who rides the dragon? I don't have this blessing."
Zhang Yijiu glanced at him with a smile.
"Look at what you said! Brother, I'll treat you to dinner today. In addition to reminiscing about the past, I actually want to ask, what did you think about your marriage with Miss Twelve?"
He Hanzhu leaned in the chair, holding an empty tea cup in one hand, and turned the cup with a slender finger, smiling: "I said, I don't have this blessing."
Zhang Yijiu walked over and sent off the clerk who was standing outside the door of the private room waiting for the guests to call. When he came back, he handed He Hanzhu a cigarette, lit it, and lit one himself, chatting while sucking the clouds and smog.
"Yanqiao, I want me to tell you about this matter between you and Miss Tang, as a man, what's the point of being a show in such occasions? It's just that you are not lucky and are spreading when you see it. The Lu family knows that of course you have to make trouble and make trouble. There is also the incident of the son of the twelfth lady's nurse breaking his leg. My sister-in-law came back and told me that the twelfth lady himself wanted to hide it. He was found out by a cousin who usually disagrees with her and sued it in front of the old lady. The twelfth lady was very protective of you, and admitted to the family at that time, saying that she sent someone to follow her and was discovered by you. You were angry and taught a lesson, but the old lady in the mansion..."
Zhang Yijiu pointed at her finger.
"The old lady's mind was too twitching, and she felt she lost face and was unhappy. I really treated you as my brother and missed you, so I found you today and gave you a clear idea."
He whispered in a low voice.
"You don't have to panic. What a big deal, the president actually has no objection to you. When he knew, he even blamed Miss Twelve, saying that she was ignorant and had no rules. Yes, you said that she was not married yet, and she could not even stand it if she was a man, let alone your temper and you couldn't rub sand in your eyes. If others don't know, I wouldn't know?"
"My sister-in-law often goes to Cao's house and has a good relationship with Miss Twelve. Mrs. Cao doesn't blame you. Choose a time, and my sister-in-law will accompany you to Cao's house to see the old lady and give the Cao family a step. This matter will be over."
He was heartbroken. After saying this, he saw He Hanzhu holding a cigarette in his mouth and looking out the window, still silent. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. After thinking for a while, he advised: "Yanqiao, I know you are young and you will inevitably be angry, but I would like to remind you that if you refuse to bow your head and admit your mistake, the marriage will not be guaranteed to be in trouble. Although it is just a small matter that is harmless, it is spread like this. No matter how much the president appreciates you, he cannot be considered as nothing. I want to marry his niece like that, isn't this slap in the face? Besides, Miss Twelve has many suitors. As far as I know, there is a nephew in the Lu family. After studying abroad, the conditions are very good, and he is chasing Miss Twelve."
He Hanzhu's eyes finally turned back from the window and said, "I hope Miss Twelve will choose another partner, I will not delay her."
Zhang Yijiu was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't bite the cigarette in her mouth and fell to the ground: "Are you serious?"
He Hanzhu smiled, leaned over, picked up the cigarette butt that continued to burn on the floor, threw it into a plate of leftover vegetables, took another one from the cigarette box, and served it.
Zhang Yijiu looked at him and answered: "No, what are you thinking? Why can't I understand you anymore?"
He Hanzhu picked up a box of foreign matches on the table, pulled out a matchstick, slashed the fire, raised it over, continued to light a cigarette for him, and said, "So, Brother Zhang, if you don't treat me to dinner today, I plan to bother you in the past two days. I am an ordinary person, unable to be a saint, and I cannot guarantee that I will not make mistakes in the future. Since it is no longer pleasant and I can barely maintain it, I am afraid that the future will turn against you, which will do more harm than good."
"I have already thought about it, and this matter will be stopped. In front of the President, I hope Brother Zhang, you can say a few good words for me. If the President wants to punish me, no matter how much punishment I am, I will never complain. In short, it is all my fault. I have overestimated myself before and delayed Miss Twelve. This alone is a sinner."
Zhang Yijiu was surprised at first, and after looking at him for a moment, he suddenly realized something, pointed at him, nodded and smiled: "I understand, I understand! As a man, he can't help but get angry. What is one or two confidantes? Why haven't I renewed my marriage yet after I know that my wife has disappeared? It's better to raise it outside. If you like it, go a few more times, don't like it, just go less, save countless troubles in the backyard!"
He taught He Hanzhu earnestly, and his tone was a little proud.
"To be honest, even if you have a crony to borrow, the fairy will be fresh for a while after a long time. What's the difference? If you keep staring at it like this all day long, then no one can accept it? It's hard to be a prince consort! This bowl of rice is actually not delicious! I was unable to say it before. It's rare that Yanqiao, you are young and can think openly and get out early, is a wise move."
He Hanzhu smiled: "Brother Zhang, you are polite. Compared to Brother Zhang, I feel inferior. I will ask more advice on this in the future. So I would like to ask you about this matter, Brother Zhang?"
"It's easy to say. Since you have figured it out, I'll help you make a move in front of the President and explain it. Don't worry, the President is not a narrow-minded person. Besides, if you really blame it, you can't blame it on your head. It's not that you take the initiative to pursue Miss Twelve to be abandoned. Since there is something unhappy now, it's best to get married like this. It's just that outsiders say that you may be a bit ugly. The Cao family will not like you and give up the marriage."
"That's natural, that's what it is."
"Okay, no problem, I'll cover me, wait for my message to reply!"
Zhang Yijiu thought for a while and couldn't help but make fun of him again: "I have met Miss Tang before. She is indeed a top beauty. No wonder you can't even control me. I heard that this woman has some tricks and has a wide range of friends. She has washed her hands and went ashore in recent years. Not everyone can be the minister under her skirt. I didn't expect that Yanqiao, you go to Tiancheng, and you are close to the water tower and you have a blessing. I am really envious of my brother."
He Hanzhu smiled, walked to the door, asked the waiter to bring a pot of wine, poured it with his own hands, and toasted him, and drank three glasses in a row.
"Thank you, I have three glasses of wine today, I can't respect you. When will it be convenient for you next time, Brother Zhang, I will give you another wine to thank you."
After eating the meal, He Hanzhu returned to the residence of Ding's Garden.
Zhang Yijiu promised to help, so this matter should come to an end.
He always sets goals, plans carefully, and acts cautiously.
However, at this moment, when he was alone and looked back at the various things he had done in recent times, He Hanzhu had to admit that he had actually lost his goal, and he didn't know, nor did he want to think about what his goal was when he did those things.
He was pushed and encouraged by an irresistible force, obeying impulse, blindly and stupid, and gradually deviating from the most secure marriage path he had chosen. For example, on the night of the Fu party, he did not expect that his debauchery under impulse would not only be caught by her, but also continued to ferment, leading to the result today.
I don’t know when it started, but when he encountered something related to the Su family’s daughter, he seemed to have lost his rules and no plans.
Now he even went with the flow, not wanting to turn back, and just completely cut off his marriage with the Cao family.
Is this good for his revenge and his life?
Anyone who has a little bit of brain knows that the answer is obviously no.
What happened like this today is actually just the result of letting go of impulse again.
The price is fame. He became a complete wandering son.
The price is risk. It is possible that the opportunity he lost will be picked up by his enemies, and the Lu family and the Cao family will marry each other, and it will be even more difficult to move him.
But he didn't care much.
The cutting made him feel relieved, and even there was a kind of dark happiness in his heart that only he could experience.
But this happiness didn't last long. When she thought of this, her reputation was completely destroyed. The girl from the Su family should look down on her even more. He Hanzhu's mood suddenly became worse again.
He was staying in the study, with his legs on the table, enduring the faint pain that came from behind his back from time to time, smoking cigarettes one by one, looking at the pocket watch on the table in front of him, time passed by minute by minute. When he thought that today was the last day for her to come here and she should be leaving tomorrow, a new impulse suddenly arose in his heart.
He wanted to see her.
Even if you look at it from a distance.
As soon as this thought came out, it quickly took root and sprouted in his heart, and could not be curbed.
He looked at the time again.
He will be here now at four o'clock in the afternoon and should be able to catch up.
Anyway, I have done so many stupid things, so it doesn’t matter if I have one more. The end of the day judgment in the Bible has not yet arrived, and there is time to clean up the mess slowly, so there is no hurry.
He Hanzhu no longer hesitated, stood up with his legs closed, quickly pinched the cigarette, and walked down quickly. He met He's mother walking out of the kitchen with a tray on her face.
"Young Master Sun, are you here? Just as I was about to give you some snacks, I made your favorite osmanthus chestnut cake. The osmanthus was collected and dried by myself before, and the chestnut powder was freshly ground..."
