The jade-white moon hangs high in the sky, and the bright moonlight sprinkles on the earth, adding a holy color to the Lujiang River at night.

Compared with the previous years, now that Wancheng is free from the threat of Shanyue and other forces, the lives of the people are getting better day by day. Many people already have some savings in their homes, some of which were quite large for them before. Extravagant behavior also became a means of improving life.

In addition, more than 9000 people from the four major security bureaus under the Lujiang Public Security Department worked hard day and night to make Lujiang's security a new one. Things like night banquets and parties have gradually become popular.

That night, a family did not know the background, but occupied the interior of the restaurant in the most prosperous area of ​​the entire Lujiang River. Countless scholars and celebrities were exchanging glasses, and the atmosphere during the banquet was extremely joyful.

It's just different from those who gather in groups of three or four or more than a dozen people to laugh and feast in front of a special round table. The man just sat there alone.

I saw that his every move was emitting a faint sour smell, and he didn't know how much alcohol he had drunk at the moment, his cheeks were flushed when he was drunk, and the stubble on his face made him look extremely sloppy.

A bartender passing by seemed to be a little frustrated, so he got up and wanted to call the other party and send him home to have a rest.But before he could make a sound, a sharp-eyed "colleague" next to him saw him and pulled him back.

……

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Some wanton middle-aged man's voice came from behind the bartender. He looked back, and suddenly found that the person in charge of the entire restaurant was looking at him in surprise.

He is familiar with this person, it is said that he is the son of a merchant in the capital of Luoyang, somehow he ran to the border of Lujiang and opened a restaurant, not to mention earning a lot of money, he also created a reputation among the local scholars in Lujiang , many young masters who came and went were very respectful towards him.

At this moment, seeing that the person holding him back was his immediate boss, the bartender, who didn't want to lose the job he had found so hard, cupped his fists respectfully, and then explained:

"Oh, it belongs to the shopkeeper..."

"It's nothing, I just saw that man has been working here for several days, and the clothes on his body are almost smelly, so I want to send him home to rest first."

"After all, our place is a restaurant, which is open to the entire Wancheng territory, so we can't let him destroy the nature of other customers, right?"

Putting away the rag in his hand, the bartender was a little strange at the moment, not knowing why the other party called him suddenly.

However, he had just entered this restaurant for a short time, and he rarely had the opportunity to talk to the upper-level speakers of these restaurants. At this moment, he blushed a little when he was questioned by the other party, as if he was a little embarrassed.

On the other hand, the middle-aged man's face immediately changed when he heard the words, and then he looked at both sides of the hall, and found that most of the customers were drinking and no one was paying attention to his side, so he pulled the bartender to his side, and then Pulling the other party towards the direction of the back kitchen and walking over.

……

"Hey, are you new here? Why don't you even recognize that person!"

"Let me tell you, it's good for you to be diligent, but you'd better leave that guy alone, just pretend you can't see him."

"... At least during this period of time, treat it as if that person doesn't exist!"

"Didn't you look at the scholars on the table next to him, all of them endured the smell on his body, but they didn't even dare to fart, and they didn't count in their hearts?"

"Well, I see that you are kind and hardworking, so I won't say much about you. From tomorrow onwards, you will not be a bartender. Follow me. I will teach you to recognize people. This is very important in our business. matter."

……

The two pulled each other and walked towards the back kitchen of the hotel, and their voices gradually faded away, and were soon covered by the noise around them, not to mention attracting no one's attention.

Only the extremely sloppy young man was left, still lying on the table like this, with his left hand resting on his forehead, while his right hand was dangling with the wine pot, murmured twice from time to time, and he didn't know what he said .

That beautiful long black hair was soaked in the mixture of wine and vegetable soup at the moment, and a large amount of juice soaked along the hair, which made outsiders feel numb all over and felt a little disgusted.

After a long while, a man with the appearance of a servant came in from the direction outside the door. After looking around in the restaurant, his face turned pale with shock, and he hurriedly sat opposite the young man.

……

"Huh? Young Master?"

"Young master, wake up!"

"Wake up, why are you drunk again, the lord is coming soon, what should you do now..."

"Wake up!"

……

I saw the man who looked like a follower stretched out his hand and pushed the other person very anxiously. At this moment, his face was full of urgency, and he looked at the man lying on the desk, no matter whether he tried hard or not, he just froze for a while. got there.

He is just the adopted son of a big family in Lujiang, the kind of homeless orphan that the owner buys from outside every year, and then adopted by the older generation of the family, usually as the companion of the main line of the family or helper.

People like them have a higher status than ordinary domestic servants, and they will also receive some basic education. It can be said that they can read and write.

However, compared to the real sons of the family, they lack a lot of spirituality. They were born to be trained as assistants, and their status is not comparable to those of the sons of the family.

Looking at the young master in front of him who was drunk and passed out on the table, the servant's face was sweating for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, it didn't take too long, at the same time as an old man outside the door slowly walked into the restaurant, the young man seemed to feel something, and slowly lifted his downcast head from the table. lifted up.

The eyes covered by the messy long hair are extremely clear, but a little scarlet.

Chapter 2 Are you awake?

"Yu'er, are you awake?"

The old man walked slowly to the desk, and he didn't feel the stench around him was unbearable, so he sat down slowly.

Accompanied by the old man's movements, the originally noisy voices in the entire restaurant suddenly fell silent, those scholars who were drinking and singing before seemed to be choked by their throats, and there was a brief silence It even made some unreal buzzing sounds in everyone's ears.

Turning around and taking a look at everyone present, the old man suddenly smiled, then stretched out his right hand and pointed in the direction of the restaurant's gate.

……

"Ha ha……"

……

Seeing him like this, the person in charge of the restaurant naturally sighed, and then closed the curtain of the back kitchen, completely pretending to be a dead person.

He does have some background in Lujiang, and he can't afford to offend that old man...

It's just not necessary.

It is really unnecessary to have a conflict with the other party for one night's business.

……

"Hehe, this old man should still have some reputation in this Lujiang River. Everyone here, don't you think you don't recognize me?"

"Today, my Zhou's family is doing business. This restaurant... please save face and let me wait. Of course, all the expenses tonight will be credited to my Zhou's family..."

"Okay?"

……

He gestured to everyone present with a smile on his face. Although the old man surnamed Zhou looked amicable at the moment, his outstretched fingers pointed to the door like a piece of green wood, without the slightest tremor, much less like It looks like an old man.

On the contrary, after his words fell, a wave of power from the superior quickly surged from him, not sharp, but oppressive and oppressive.

After the word "good" came out, someone finally couldn't bear the invisible pressure, got up first and walked out the door in a desperate manner.

This old man may be provoked by the owner of the restaurant, but if the other party is unwilling to intervene, there may not be too many people in Lujiang who are qualified to offend this old man.

And they are naturally not in this list.

With the first comes the second, and more.

When someone left first, everyone exchanged glances with each other and slipped out in the direction of the gate.

The other party's behavior of clearing the field may be a bit domineering, but it has already given them enough face. Naturally, they will not be unhappy and take the initiative to anger the old man.

After all, anyone can tell that there is something wrong with the atmosphere between the old man and the young man.

Those who had received some information from their relatives and friends, or were simply born in Lujiang, knew very well who those two people were.

Especially that drunk... Ah no, it was that drunk son, after everyone thought of some rumors about him, they felt a little helpless and sighed at the other person's appearance.

……

Leaving aside the people who had left, after the old man cleared the room, he sat back across the table and returned to his previous calm look.

Beside the old man, the servant was slightly relieved, then touched his forehead, and knelt down behind the old man.

8⑥[-] [-]③

It was just such a short period of time, even though it was the first month of the lunar year, there was still a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

To be honest, he is just a servant of the Zhou family.

After getting the order from Patriarch Zhou Zhong, he immediately searched all the way west from Shu County, and only a few days ago, he found his son who had been "missing" for several days in Wancheng, Lujiang.

But to his surprise, when he found Zhou Yu, the polite and handsome man from Jiangdong in his original impression looked extremely sloppy, and even drank a lot of wine, lying on the bed in Wanwan. In an alley in the city, he was drunk and unconscious.

This is thanks to the fact that the law and order in Wancheng is not as good as before, otherwise it seems that such a handsome man with thin skin and tender flesh died drunk on the street, and I don't know how many nasty things will happen.

But it's okay now, after his Patriarch arrived, he finally didn't have to worry about Zhou Yu's safety all day like he did two days ago, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to stop the other party, making himself in a dilemma.

That's right, it wasn't someone else who was sitting in the corner of the restaurant drunk and unconscious. It was Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, the eldest son of the Zhou family who had arrived in Lujiang years ago and planned to go home before the New Year.

It's just that after passing by one of his "acquaintances" that day, he seemed to be a different person. Not only did he start to drink too much to numb himself, but he also ignored everything in the outside world. I was drunk for almost half a month.

It wasn't until Zhou Zhong arrived that he sat up for a long time, and looked at the old man in front of him with a calm expression.

……

"Yu'er, are you awake?"

Sitting in front of Zhou Yu, this old man is naturally the other party's father, Zhou Zhong, who is also the contemporary head of the Zhou family, Zhou Yu's father, Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi's cousin.

Seeing that his suave and suave nephew in the past looked a little downcast and reckless, he opened his mouth for a while, but he didn't know what to say, he just felt that the emotions in his heart were a little complicated.

Zhou Zhong is naturally clear about what happened to the other party.

According to his decades of experience and experience, he only took a look at Zhou Yu's current appearance, and he guessed that the other party had already known something, and as he imagined, he was a little bit shocked by that man who fell from the sky. Can not accept.

The corners of his mouth dropped slightly, Zhou Zhong pursed his lips and looked at the other party, but in the end he didn't say much except for a sigh.

This matter is a hurdle for Zhou Yu. If he passes it, no matter what the outcome or choice is, Zhou Yu's future will naturally be limitless.

It's just that this matter is Zhou Yu's private matter.

Not to mention him as an uncle, even the other party's own father Zhou Yi came, and there was no way to get involved.

As the old saying goes, teenagers are sad about love, middle-aged are sad about breath, and old people are sad about greed.

Zhou Yu's age is now at the junction of youth and middle age, and this time he has suffered two setbacks in love and morale at the same time. Let alone being depressed now, even if the other party is directly unable to think about giving up on himself, or even committing suicide on the spot, Zhou Zhong will Nothing to be surprised about.

But now looking at the red-eyed young man sitting in front of him, and feeling the depression in him, Zhou Zhong felt that he still had to do something.

At the very least, as the elder of the other party, I couldn't bear to see that 17-year-old genius boy sinking completely because of a blow like this.
