Chapter 21 Secret Articles
There are always several secluded private rooms in the large yard behind Banyuelou. If the man who comes to Banyuelou wants to find a secluded place to talk about private rooms, he will mostly ask the servants in Banyuelou to lead them into the private room to have a detailed chat.
It is also to make the man who talks about private conversation feel at ease. After entering the private room, the guys in the Banyuelou quickly put some tea and refreshments to the man who entered the private room, or as required by those men who want to talk about private conversation, they trotted to famous time-honored restaurants everywhere. Without a pot of tea, the guy carrying a big food box could stand in the private room and put four bowls and eight plates of delicious food on the Eight Immortals table!
After that, the young man from Banyuelou would tactfully leave the private room. He would not hear the copper bell ringing in the private room, and there would never be a idler within three meters of radius!
In the past, the private room of Banyuelou could never stop talking about private conversations. But in the Qi Chongshen's elegant gathering, the private room in the backyard of Banyuelou was empty, with few guests.
He occupied a private room alone. Master Qi San had already drunk a pot of jasmine tea with flaky water. He also wanted to stand up and walk out of the private room several times to see if the butler had returned to the half-moon building. But after hesitating for a while, Master Qi San slowly sat back on the chair and played with the two ancient jade walnuts in his hand.
After almost two meals, Master Qi San suddenly heard a burst of rapid footsteps and walked to the door of the private room. With a slight knock on the door, the butler's obvious nervous voice came in through the thick door panel: "Master, I've found out clearly!"
He suddenly stood up and Mr. Qi San was about to rush to the door!
Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Master Qi San reached out to hold the Eight Immortals Table beside him, but after taking a deep breath, he whispered in a steady voice: "Come in and talk!"
He reached out and pushed open the thick elm-wood door of the private room. The butler, who was sweating all over his head, didn't care about the young man who was standing in the building for a month and served the guests of the private room. He opened his mouth and wanted to speak to Master Qi San. But after seeing Master Qi San glaring slightly, the butler closed his mouth tactfully and turned around and closed the thick elm-wood door of the private room.
Extending two fingers, Master Qi San pushed a cup of cold tea on the table at the butler: "After drinking this cup of tea, you will talk! You have no idea about everything, and you can only make a bad thing if you are impatient!"
Maybe he was thirsty and anxious, and the butler didn't care about so much etiquette. He took the cup of cold tea and drank it all, then reached out and wiped his lips: "I understand what the master said! The female who broke into the Qiuzhu Club is outside the pass... Zhang Dashang's little daughter outside the pass!"
With his eyebrows raised, Master Qi San sneered: "Hmph... I'm so brave. I've been cheating people and I've come to the third master! Although Marshal Zhang from the outside of the pass is from a bandit, his family rules are extremely strict! The wives of several houses are also respectful and take care of their husbands and children, and never slackened! Such a willful and arbitrary little girl who shows up in Sijiu City... This is too careless to cheat people. She doesn't even know the details of her appearance, so she dares to come to Sijiu City to make a fortune?!"
As if he had already calmed down, the housekeeper standing in front of Master Qi San replied to his eyes and eyes, looking at Master Qi San respectfully, saying, "At first, I thought someone wanted to save a bureau and cheat people, but later I found out carefully that's not the case! The Six Kingdoms Hotel did receive a group of guests from the Northeast three days ago. Although the registration number book said that the owners of the Beijing Police Station were all guarding the Six Kingdoms Hotel these days. I heard from the tea room of the Six Kingdoms Hotel that these people all called a master the boss on the surface, but privately... they called a master from this group of Northeast guests - Dashuai! Besides, if you can book two floors of the Six Kingdoms Hotel to save a bureau, the expenses are too big?"
As he wandered around the two ancient jade walnuts in his hand, Master Qi San pondered for a moment, muttering as if he was talking to himself: "In this half-month day, there are really many guests from outside the city..."
As if he was showing off his merits, the housekeeper reached out to take out a broken piece of paper from his arms and respectfully handed it to Master Qi San: "This is something that was brought by the handyman who cleaned up the house in the Six Kingdoms Hotel. It looks like something... the constitution of the negotiation committee?"
After taking the piece of paper, Master Qi San just roughly swept the intermittent words on the piece of paper, and immediately changed his face: "North-South Consultative Conference? This National Government is really a big deal..."
He nodded more respectfully, and the pride in the butler's words was obvious: "I chased the girl all the way to the Six Kingdoms Hotel, and saw that girl enter the door of the Six Kingdoms Hotel with my own eyes. On the floor where the Marshal Zhang lived, the guards at the stairs did not stop her! I also came to Banyuelou to find her, so I also got on the line! It was said that Marshal Zhang loved this little girl the most, and sometimes he was so fussy that he was too irresponsible. At most, he just cursed a few words and was reluctant to move his fingers!"
As his eyes lit up, Master Qi San immediately put the broken piece of paper in his hand on the table beside him: "Do you understand the origin of the Seven Killing Scorpion?"
He nodded heavily, and the housekeeper couldn't help but lower his voice: "I figured it out! The little girl of Zhang Dashuai likes to play with eagles and dogs on weekdays, and tossed with some rare things. The people below made fun of it, so they spent a lot of money to give the lady the Seven Killing Scorpion and Stones. By the way, he also told the lady that there is a scorpion fighting autumn insect meeting in the Sijiu City every year! It happened that Zhang Dashuai was coming to the city of Peking to discuss matters, and the lady was so mean and forced to come with her..."
He raised his hand to stop the butler's nagging. Master Qi San slowly stood up and walked back and forth in the spacious private room. After a long time, he turned his head and shouted at the butler: "When will they leave Peking?"
"The train at 10 o'clock in the evening said it was going back to Fengtian directly!"
"That Seven Killing Scorpion, and that piece of gold and stone..."
"I'm looking at the door! The one who just looked for the lady of Zhang Dashuai's family in Banyuelou was a urging from a wife in Zhang Dashuai's family! Look at the one who was smoking teeth... I'm afraid he's not rich!"
Turning around neatly, Master Qi San waved his hand to the butler: "Go and do it! No matter the price! As long as you can get the Seven Killing Scorpion and the Stone, you can talk about the rules for fighting scorpions in Sijiu City. The way it comes from, the Deshengmen Qi family has the final say!"
Seeing the butler taking the order and leaving, Master Qi San sat down on the chair again, raised his hand and grabbed the bell that greeted the person and shook it gently. In less than a moment, the young man who specialized in serving the guests in the Banyuelou was already standing at the door of the private room and greeted respectfully: "Master San, what are you doing?"
Slowly put the copper bell in his hand back on the table. Master Qi San shouted to the young man who was serving outside the door: "Open another private room, pack up a good swallow wing mat on the table, and then ask the master from the private room No. 2 Tianzi to come over!"
He agreed quickly, and at most two bags of cigarettes, the young man's attentive and respectful voice came from outside the door of the private room again: "Master 3, the swallow wing mat you ordered is ready. Just in the Tianzi No. 1, the Tianzi No. 2 Master has come to wait for you!"
Walking around, under the diligent guidance of the young man, Mr. Qi San walked around the trees and walked towards the Tianzi No. 1 Little Room covered by the flower and rockery. He just saw the moon gate of the Tianzi No. 1 Little Room with the crowns of several precious flower trees. A young man in a suit, elegant and gentle man, who looked like a scholar, had already come out early, and he clasped his fists to Mr. Qi San and said, "The Third Master is here, and I will be in a far away and will be welcomed by you."
He also bowed his hand, Master Qi San also smiled politely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zuo has been waiting for a long time, so I'll be negligent!"
His face slightly sluggish. The young man who looked like a scholar reached out to Suke and smiled at Master Qi San and said, "Mr. Qi San is busy with his nobles. It is natural for me to wait for a while as a junior. How can I say something about negligence?"
At the Eight Immortals Table with the Swallow Wings Seat, the host and the guest sat down. Seeing the young man serving the private room closed the door of the private room, the young man called Mr. Zuo reached out and grabbed the old Fenjiu in Shanxi warmed up in the wine jam, and gently filled the cup in front of Master Qi San: "The scene of this autumn insect meeting really opened my eyes! Looking at the entire Beiping City, I'm afraid that only Master Qi San can fix such a show!"
He nodded humbly to the young man who poured wine for him. Master Qi San laughed in a harmonious voice: "It's up to Mr. Zuo to support him. This year's autumn insect meeting can be considered to be slightly larger! Not to mention it, I just say that the thirty-six southern scorpions that I got from the Qi family, and it's fortunate that Mr. Zuo took the lead! Otherwise, I would have been able to find these fighting southern scorpions from Yunnan... Even if I have great achievements in Deshengmen and Qi family, I am not strong enough!"
Listening to the noise coming from the half-moon building, Mr. Zuo first raised his glass and touched Master Qi San, and then he smiled at Master Qi San, "I just don't know if these thirty-six southern scorpions can win the insect king of this year's autumn insect meeting for Master San?"
Smacking his lips gently, while Mr. Qi San was savoring the mellow smell of Shanxi Laofenjiu, he smiled mysteriously: "The insect king of this year's Autumn Insect Club, my Deshengmen Qi family is sure to win! As for whether the thirty-six southern scorpions won the insect king of this year's Autumn Insect Club... what does it matter?"
Looking up at Mr. Zuo who was about to speak but stopped beside him, the strange smile on his face became stronger and stronger: "This is like the deal that Mr. Zuo is running - Jushe, mountains, seas, and various goods. As long as someone has heard of, Mr. Zuo can get it. It is really a perfect match! For those who buy goods, as long as they can buy the goods they need, it doesn't matter whether the sign of Mr. Zuo's deal is called Jushe or... Jushe, it doesn't matter!"
Appreciating the surprised expression on Mr. Zuo's face proudly, Mr. Qi San grabbed the small wine pot in Wen's wine plug and filled the cup in front of Mr. Zuo: "And you, Mr. Zuo! The city you came to Peking four years ago, your chrysanthemum club has been prosperous in just one month! Most of the men who do business in Beijing recognize the old brands and pay attention to the old friendship. If the new deal is not destroyed for three years, it is already the shopkeeper's management. But your chrysanthemum club can actually get the old brands, the three old brands that make north-south goods in one month Guan Zhang..."
He gently picked up the silver-inlaid ebony chopsticks, and Master Qi San picked up a piece of onion and roasted sea cucumber, and slowly put it on the small plate in front of Mr. Zuo: "It's very cost-effective, capable, and a big scene. Just like this, you are not afraid of Mr. Zuo, if you are not afraid of Mr. Zuo, even if you hand it over to the old shopkeepers of Shanxi merchants, Hui merchants or Zhejiang merchants, you're afraid that the owner will have to worry! But if the owner behind it is Japan, it would be natural to hand over this transaction to you! Do you think it's Mr. Zuo Nosuke Katsumasa?!"
A hint of green aura suddenly flashed across his face. Zuosuke Katsumasa slowly put his hands on his knees and stared at the Master Qi San who was smiling strangely: "It seems that the Qi family of Deshengmen does have the ability that only a big family can have, and Master Qi San, you are even more extraordinary! Well... Since Master Qi San, you chose to say these words at this moment, then I will just say something as the Chinese say - just say something! We will help Master Qi San, take down the insect king at this year's autumn insect meeting, and Master Qi San, you also need to do something for us!"
