I become a sage by eating books

Chapter 36

Xiao Renhuai saw Ning An and the others as soon as he entered, so he walked in Ning An's direction.Perhaps because of the system's charm value, Xiao Renhuai has complicated feelings about Ning An now. Judging from the situation when Ning An first entered Bailu Academy, it seems that he hates Ning An very much, but he doesn't know what happened. Ning An just can't hate it, and still wants to get close, but Ning An is always accompanied by Xie Yu and Xiao Li, whom he hates.

"Master Ning" Xiao Renhuai directly ignored Xie Yu and Xiao Li and only greeted Ning An.

The others were very polite to Xie Yu and Xiao Li, "Young Master Ning, Young Master Xie, Young Master Xiao."

The county lieutenant turned around and saw Xiao Renhuai and the others dressed in brocade clothes, their demeanors were all extraordinary, and he couldn't help being startled. He secretly sighed in his heart when Ning An knew so many rich men. After a jump, the one who walked at the end seemed to be the first son of the county magistrate's family.

The county lieutenant quickly stepped forward and said, "I've seen Mr. Gu."

"You are?" Gu Siyuan asked.

"Little man Huang Tian, ​​my father Huang Zhong is the county captain of Pingyao." Huang Tian smiled obsequiously, completely different from the aggressive one just now.

"Oh, what's the matter with you?" Gu Siyuan looked indifferent, obviously not wanting to talk to him.

"Is Mr. Gu also here for dinner? I'm afraid the mixed fish and dragons here will tarnish your identity as Mr. How about I book a private room upstairs for you?"

Although the county lieutenant Huang Tian said this on his lips, he was secretly counting the few taels of silver in the bag in his heart.

Although his father is a county lieutenant, his salary is not high, and he is not a direct son, only three taels of silver per month.Forget it, if he can make friends with the son of the county magistrate's family, then his father won't blame him either.

"Yes, yes, yes, there is a lot of fish and dragons here, you should go quickly." Xie Yu said casually after getting himself a cup of tea.

"Bold, don't be unreasonable to the magistrate, our account will be settled later." Huang Tian scolded.

"Oh, who do you want to settle accounts with?" It was Xiao Renhuai who spoke.

Although Xiao Renhuai and Xie Yu did not get along with each other on weekdays, the fellow students of Bailu Academy could not be bullied by people from other academies.

"Of course it's them..." Huang Tian pointed in Ning An's direction.Unexpectedly, Xiao Renhuai directly clamped Huang Tian's finger with his chopsticks, causing him to scream in pain.

"Young Master Gu, save me!"

"Brother Xiao, can you let him go for my sake?" Gu Siyuan didn't want to take care of Huang Tian's affairs, but he was the county captain's son, so he couldn't help but said.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Renhuai didn't intend to let go at all. Gu Siyuan stood aside with no change in his expression, but shook the hand hidden in his sleeve firmly, and then let go.

"Apologize!" Xiao Renhuai said.

Only now did Huang Tian realize that he seemed to have offended someone he shouldn't have offended, so he quickly said to Xie Yu, "I'm sorry, young master, it's because a villain has eyes that don't recognize Mount Tai and offended."

Unexpectedly, after he finished apologizing, the force of pinching his fingers not only did not decrease but became heavier, and he didn't know what he did wrong.

"Apologize to Mr. Ning!" Xiao Renhuai said coldly.

It was only now that Huang Tian remembered that the county magistrate and his party seemed to have greeted Ning An first, did they all know each other?

"Master Ning, I'm sorry..." After Huang Tian apologized, Xiao Renhuai let go of his hand.

Manager Xu had been told everything in the hall, and Manager Xu hurried over.

"Young masters, please forgive me for the lack of hospitality in the shop. Everyone has something to discuss slowly... Uh, my little boss!" Manager Xu recognized Ning An.

Little boss, who?
Ning An stood up slowly when everyone was dumbfounded: "Uncle Xu, long time no see."

Manager Xu said happily: "Little boss, why don't you let anyone notify you when you come, so that I can get someone to prepare. These are your classmates, right? I'll take you upstairs for dinner. My boss specially ordered you to The box has been reserved for you."

After the incident just now, Ning An didn't want to continue to eat in this hall, but she didn't expect Xu Zhijin to reserve a room for her, and a feeling of warmth surged into her heart.

Through Xu Zhijin, Manager Xu knew that Ning An is now studying at Bailu Academy and is highly valued. He was also lucky enough to learn a thing or two about his unique calculation method, and he also received an abacus from Ning An. Much faster.

Now Ruyilou is overwhelmed by the opponent, the business is getting better day by day, and it has become the number one restaurant in Pingyao. All of this is due to Ning An, who can afford it.

"Uncle Lao Xu will lead the way."

Ning An led Xie Yu, Xiao Li, Xiao Renhuai and others upstairs. Huang Tian wanted to follow, but he didn't want to be blocked by a servant, so he could only stand there with a resigned expression.

"Damn Ning An, when did he become the owner of Ruyilou? And when did he become a student of Bailu Academy and get so close to the magistrate and other nobles."

He knew how difficult it was to get into Bailu Academy. Back then, his father failed to get into Bailu Academy through countless connections. What on earth did Ning An rely on?
"Mr. Huang, don't be angry, wait for me to find out what's going on with this Ning'an." The gray-clothed scholar named Xiang Chengcai who spoke, his family owns a butcher shop, and he likes to flirt on weekdays. He entered Qingshan The academy is not for taking the imperial examination, but for making friends with noble people.

"Brother Xiang is a sensible person." Huang Tian patted Xiang Chengcai on the shoulder.

"Hehe, Mr. Huang, don't worry, I promise to ask you clearly." Xiang Changcai smiled obsequiously.

The other two didn't speak, but the scholar in Tsing Yi looked upstairs thoughtfully, and said, "Brother Huang, don't disturb our interest because of unrelated people, let's go have a drink."

The scholar in Tsing Yi's name is Zhang Yiming, his family is in the pawn shop business, Huang Tian still wants to give him face, who made him have a rich father?

Manager Xu brought Ning An and the others to a wing room on the third floor. The interior was very elegantly furnished, and it could be seen that the person who arranged it put their heart into it.

"Young masters, my little boss, please have tea. There is still something to be done in the restaurant, so I will go first." Manager Xu was very respectful.

"Alright Uncle Xu, you go first." Ning An got up and sent Guanshi Xu to leave.

As soon as Manager Xu left, Xie Yu couldn't hold back anymore. "An'an, so you are the owner of Ruyilou, then I will be lucky in the future."

"Why do you want to eat for nothing?" Xiao Li poured a cup of tea for Ning An and poured another cup for himself.

Xie Yu handed over his teacup, but Xiao Li directly put the teapot on the table, Xie Yu could only add another cup to himself angrily.

"Who said I'm going to eat for free? Since it's An'an's restaurant, I will certainly take care of you from now on."

Ning An shook his head, these two people really can pinch anything, they are not naive.

Xiao Renhuai looked at the interaction between the three of them and felt a little unhappy. He also added a cup of tea for himself and drank it in one gulp.

Wen Jinghui saw Xiao Renhuai's awkwardness, so he said, "I never thought that the young master would have such a property at such a young age. Jing Hui admires it. Since it is the property of the young master, I should wait for more patronage."

"Mr. Wen is polite, just call me Ning'an outside. I just have a small dividend in Ruyilou. It is not considered a boss. Everyone, please don't make fun of me. Thank you for what happened just now. Ning'an replaces wine with tea. A toast to everyone."

Although Ning'an would not have made her suffer without them, they helped her after all, especially Xiao Renhuai, didn't he always look down on him?
"Mr. Ning is polite." Several people toasted and drank.Noticing that Xiao Renhuai didn't move, Ning An said again: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."

Hearing that Ning An thanked himself alone, Xiao Renhuai raised his teacup.Ning An didn't know what Xiao Renhuai was thinking, he just felt that this person was a bit inexplicable, so he didn't notice the flash of cruelty in Xiao Li's eyes beside him at all.
