Chapter 97 Deyunxuan
capital.
South Street.
Early in the morning, the people of the capital gathered on the streets one after another, gathered around the door of a shop, and peered inside.
Today, a new teahouse opened here called Deyunxuan.
The upper and lower floors are decorated with lanterns and colors, creating a magnificent atmosphere.
Li Wuji stood at the door in person, greeting the guests who came to congratulate him, with a smile on his face.
When the new store opened before, I didn't invite any guests to the ceremony because I wasn't a big figure yet and because I didn't want it to be troublesome.
But things are different now. Before it even opened, the news had already spread, and many people took the initiative to ask to come.
So Li Wuji sent out invitations widely and invited many well-known people. In addition to Luo Ping, the commander of the capital guards, there was also Lin Wang Liyuan, and he even didn't forget his new friend Xiao Hongxing.
Accompanying Li Wuji, in addition to Lu Yuan who was in charge of protection, there was also an old man dressed in simple clothes. He was the shopkeeper of Deyunxuan, Lao Feng.
As guests came to the door one after another, the whole Deyunxuan gradually became lively, and the opening cross talk was already in progress, attracting applause from the whole house.
In addition to cross talk performances, Li Wuji also held a banquet, and the dishes were Zibo Ju's barbecue.
At this moment, a lonely figure slowly walked out from the crowd of onlookers, carrying a box of snacks on his mobile phone, and slowly walked up the steps with a smile on his face.
It is Xiao Hongxing!
"You're here now, what gifts do you want to bring?"
Li Wuji looked at Xiao Hongxing, smiled and shook his head.
He knew that the second brother of the Xiao family did not live a wealthy life, and the monthly expenses were deducted by the first brother for various reasons. It was good for Xiao Hongxing to be able to take medicine for his mother on a monthly basis.
"Young Master's new shop is opening, so you can't come empty-handed. However, my small gift may embarrass Young Master in front of other distinguished guests."
Xiao Hongxing smiled sheepishly and said slowly.
"I'm very happy that you can come. Just saying this is a big deal."
Li Wuji smiled, took the snack from Xiao Hongxing's hand in front of everyone, and said seriously.
"Thank you, sir!"
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet! I wish you a prosperous business!"
Xiao Hongxing cupped his hands and said gratefully.
He knew that the reason why he was invited here was because Master Wuji wanted to tell the whole city and the Xiao family that he, Xiao Hongxing, was a friend of Master Wuji.
He has long understood this kindness and has it engraved in his heart.
"Look who this is?"
Li Wuji smiled, pointed at Old Feng beside him, and asked with a smile.
"How did you..."
Xiao Hongxing hesitated for a moment, then turned to look, and then his eyes widened in surprise.
"Young Master is kindly inviting you, but if I don't come, wouldn't it mean that I am an old man who doesn't know how to appreciate you?"
Old Feng showed a kind smile towards Xiao Hongxing and said slowly.
After hearing Lao Feng's answer, Xiao Hongxing looked at Li Wuji, his eyes instantly moistened, many thoughts came to his mind, and his gratitude was beyond words.
Old Feng was none other than the old man who ran a tea stall and sold wine to Xiao Hongxing. He was also the grandfather of Xiao Hongxing’s late beloved!
Originally, Lao Feng refused at first, but in the end Li Wuji persuaded him. The reason was simple. If he was willing, Li Wuji would help Xiao Hongxing change his humble life.
After all, the old man still regarded Xiao Hongxing as a family member in his heart, even though he was not destined to be married to his granddaughter.
"Such a good thing would be wasted if given to me. I'd rather leave it to you."
Li Wuji said, forcing the box of snacks Xiao Hongxing gave him into Old Feng's arms.
"Thank you, sir!"
Lao Feng and Xiao Hongxing looked at Li Wuji and said in unison, although they were thankful for different things, their gratitude was equally profound.
"From today on, that tea stall will not open. I have ordered people to build a high platform there and cast a female statue. Men and women who are in love with each other can write their wishes on the wishing board and hang it up.
I only hope that lovers will eventually get married."
Li Wuji looked at Xiao Hongxing and said meaningfully.
After hearing this, Xiao Hongxing almost choked up and said nothing. He just bowed to Li Wuji to express his gratitude.
Up until this moment, the heavy past that had accumulated in his heart seemed to be relieved a lot, and his whole person felt a lot more relaxed.
Immediately, Li Wuji asked Old Feng to lead the somewhat excited Xiao Hongxing in first, while he continued to stay at the door to greet other distinguished guests.
As soon as Xiao Hongxing entered with his front feet, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps and horse hooves.
Immediately afterwards, a group of officers and soldiers came from the other end of the street and stopped in front of Deyunxuan.
The leader was none other than Luo Ping, who was riding a tall horse.
"Congratulations, Lord Marquis! Congratulations, Lord Marquis!"
Luo Ping got off his horse, quickly came to Li Wuji, bowed respectfully and said.
"Does Mr. Luo attend an opening ceremony with such a grand ceremony?"
Li Wuji smiled and asked.
"Don't get me wrong, Lord Marquis. Isn't this official just trying to build up momentum for Lord Marquis and prop up the scene?"
Luo Ping smiled sheepishly and explained in a low voice.
"Then thank you Lord Luo for your kindness."
Li Wuji smiled bitterly and said, without really blaming him.
However, the appearance of this group of officers and soldiers did attract a lot of attention, and the surrounding onlookers began to whisper among each other.
But in terms of ostentation, there is one even bigger than Luo Ping!
Just as Li Wuji and Luo Ping were chatting, the sound of footsteps started again. Dozens of guards surrounded a carriage and slowly passed through the crowd and officers and soldiers, stopping in front of Deyunxuan's door.
King Lin has arrived!
When Li Wuji saw it, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and quickly went to greet him.
Luo Ping shrank his neck and hesitantly followed Li Wuji to the carriage.
As the brocade curtain at the door of the carriage opened, Lin Wang Liyuan, who had arrived in full dress, slowly walked out. When he saw Li Wuji standing beside the carriage, he naturally showed a friendly smile.
"Greetings to His Highness Prince Lin!"
As soon as Li Yuan appeared, everyone present knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully to Li Yuan. Only Li Wuji remained standing, only bowing slightly and offering his hands.
"Okay, everyone, please get up. The king is just here to watch the fun today, so there is no need to be polite."
Li Yuan smiled, slowly got out of the carriage with Li Wuji's help, and waved to the people kneeling on the ground around him.
As the words fell, everyone slowly stood up.
However, except for Luo Ping, no one else noticed that Li Wuji did not kneel down just now.
"I originally thought it was strange that a shop opened and attracted officers and soldiers, but I didn't expect that it was Commander Luo who was here."
Li Yuan took a look at Luo Ping, who stood up slowly, and said something neutral.
"I am also here to congratulate Marquis Liyang on the opening of his new store. I originally wanted to bring some people to support the scene, but I didn't expect that His Highness Prince Lin was also invited by the Marquis. I had no intention of quarreling with His Highness. I hope His Highness will be considerate."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ping hurriedly answered with his hands raised, a look of panic on his face.
"Okay, okay, I told you that I am just here to watch the fun today."
"Let's go in and take a look. I want to see what new tricks you have come up with."
Li Yuan waved his hand, then took Li Wuji's hand and walked straight inside.
Li Wuji frowned, casually broke away his hand, and led Li Yuan towards the building.
Luo Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly signaled his men to evacuate quickly, while quickly following him.
Li Wuji led the two of them directly to the second floor and entered a private room under the attention of all the guests.
After sitting down, Li Wuji immediately ordered people to prepare meals, and then personally poured a cup of tea for the two of them.
On the podium downstairs, two young men who had undergone strict training by Li Wuji were talking about cross talk. Maybe it was because they had met for the first time, or maybe the joke was really funny. There were constant cheers in the entire hall on the first floor, and some people even threw away the reward money.
Towards the podium.
Li Yuan and Luo Ping were gradually attracted, watching the cross talk performance attentively, sometimes nodding frequently, sometimes clapping and cheering.
Li Wuji sat aside silently, drinking tea and observing their reactions, smiling without saying a word.
He knew that with the arrival of Luo Ping and Li Yuan, Deyunxuan's business would soon be even more popular than that of Las Vegas and No. 1 in the world.
However, the reason why he invited these two people here was not to make more money, but to tell the entire capital, and even the person in the palace, that he was no longer the person in the Nine Nether Realm who only guarded a small
