three kings

Chapter 23
Zuimenglou is the most luxurious restaurant in Luoyang. It is located in the downtown area of ​​Luoyang West Street. It has a good location and has a history of 200 years.

The people who come and go are either high-ranking officials or nobles, or wealthy businessmen and tycoons, and often only those with a lot of money are willing to enjoy it here.

Originally, Cao Cao's goal was a good restaurant, not so high-end.

It's all because Cao Cao is a good official, he is neither greedy for money nor amassing money, so he can't afford such a high-end place.

However, Yuan Shao disagreed.The so-called "face first, money second" is in his words, he is a person of status, how can he go to that kind of second-rate restaurants, and go to the most upscale restaurants, at worst, I will pay for it.My Yuan family is rich and powerful, so I don't care about these little money.

Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Sun Can knew that he did not take advantage of Yuan Shao's weakness of good face, and knocked out the money of this prodigal son.Of course, this cannot be said that Cao Cao is cheating.One is happy to pay, the other is happy to eat, who cares about these.

Zuimenglou is indeed the best restaurant in Luoyang, the tables and chairs in it are all very valuable.

Especially the light sandalwood in the restaurant makes people feel refreshed.It can be seen that the owner of this store has really put a lot of thought into this.

People have different preferences, some like the light tea fragrance, some like the strong floral fragrance, but some hate the tea fragrance and the floral fragrance, but this sandalwood is not repulsive.

Because in the Han Dynasty, filial piety to parents and ancestors was a virtue. Therefore, it was inevitable to have a stick of incense in front of the tablets of ancestors sooner or later.

If you smell more sandalwood, you will naturally feel that it smells good, and you don't reject it.

A guy with a hippie smile stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Yuan for his promotion. Mr. Cao may not have been here for a long time, right?" The people here and there are all dignitaries. Is it a secret about Yuan Shao's promotion? These things are news of their fortune, so they naturally remember them very well.

Sure enough, Yuan Shao was very generous and gave the assistant three big coins.

Arriving at a table next to the window in the private seat on the third floor, Yuan Shao sat at the top, Cao Cao and Sun Zhe sat on the left and right sides near the window, and the three of them spoke some unnutritious polite words.

Suddenly, Yuan Shao said loudly: "Brother Zhongdao, since you came to Luoyang, why don't you tell me, brother, you are not enough friends."

Sun Can followed Yuan Shao's gaze, and saw that the young master named Zhongdao was handsome, about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in brocade robes, luxuriously dressed, holding a folding fan and looking like a scholar.He couldn't help praising secretly in his heart: "What a good son in troubled times."

That person obviously didn't expect Yuan Shao to come back here, so he walked over unnaturally and said hello.

Yuan Shao enthusiastically introduced the man to Sun Can and Cao Cao.

Only then did Sun Can learn that this person was Wei Zhongdao, a descendant of the famous general Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty, the son of the Wei family of the Hedong family.

Wei Qing is a general that Sun Can likes very much. He is humble, benevolent, respects talents, and never overpowers others. He can be said to be a model of a famous general.

Sun Can loves Wu and Wu, so he wanted to make friends with Wei Zhongdao, before Yuan Shao introduced him, he said first, "My next son, Sun Can, met Mr. Wei."

"You are Sun Can?" Wei Zhongdao's eyes suddenly turned cold, and there were bursts of hostility.

Sun Can suddenly felt puzzled, he and Wei Zhongdao had never known each other before, let alone offended, he didn't even know if there was such a person in the world.Why is there such hostility in the other party's eyes?

Yuan Shaoqi said: "You know each other?"

Wei Zhongdao reacted immediately, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I admitted the wrong person."

Sun Can looked at Wei Zhongdao suspiciously, and the suspicion in his eyes became more and more serious. It is not the way of admitting mistakes. Wei Zhongdao is not blind. There are only three of them in the whole third floor. It is impossible for Wei Zhongdao not to see him. The hostility was revealed only after his name was mentioned, it was not as simple as admitting the wrong person.

Wei Zhongdao himself was very embarrassed, he just said a few polite words, and then left.

After Wei Zhongdao left, Cao Cao asked, "Ziyu, when did you offend him?"

Sun Can smiled lightly and said, "Leave him alone. I didn't offend him. It was the word 'Sun Can' who offended him. He and I have never met before, so don't mention any offense." Even so, Mind is full of doubts.

When Sun Can was distressed, Cao Cao suddenly pointed out the window and said, "Look, who is that?"

Sun Can looked around, and there was someone else besides the previous Wei Zhongdao, but there was another person beside him, and that person was Zhang Rang's nephew Zhang Sheng.

Cao Cao snorted coldly, and said: "The descendants of the dignified General Wei are colluding with Zhang Rang. It's really abominable." He and Zhang Rang's ten permanent servants had a bad relationship, so naturally he didn't like them.

Yuan Shao was also full of shame, and sighed: "I thought he was from a famous family, and he was a good person, but I didn't expect to be a villain." He who had such a good face made such a big shame in front of the two, he naturally said to Wei Zhong I hate it to the bone.

Sun Canzhe looked at Zhang Sheng and Wei Zhongdao thoughtfully, feeling uneasy in his heart, thinking that something must happen.

After this incident, the three of them lost their interest at the moment, they just ate some hastily and walked towards the street together.

At this time, an old farmer was walking leisurely on the street with two baskets of vegetables, and suddenly his feet fell, and he fell to the side, and a basket of vegetables immediately spilled on Sun Can's body.

Yuan Shao's body also gradually arrived.

Yuan Shao was furious: "Old man, you are looking for death!" He was very arrogant towards disciples of aristocratic families and famous families, but he was not so good towards the common people. Worth to talk about.Seeing an old man soil his luxurious clothes, he suddenly became furious.

Sun Can's reaction was quite different from Yuan Shao's. He immediately stepped forward to help the old farmer and asked, "Are you alright?"

The old farmer looked at Sun Can and Yuan Shao in fear, and seeing Sun Can's worried face, he quickly shook his head and said, "It's all right, it doesn't matter, it's just a leg-holding."

Sun Can smiled and said: "That's good, if you keep getting hurt because of this, it will be troublesome." He glanced at the ground and said: "Fortunately, these are green vegetables, as long as they are washed, they will be fine. "Speaking, Sun Can bent over and picked up the vegetables on the ground.

Seeing Sun Can's behavior, Cao Cao felt that this friend was a good friend. Although he was very close to Yuan Shao and others, it was just a means to protect himself.In fact, I still can't get used to some of their behaviors.Now that I have made Sun Can, a friendly, unassuming, and easy-to-talk friend, I couldn't help but feel a burst of joy, and I also bent over to help pick it up.

Yuan Shao was even more angry because he blew his beard and stared at his eyes. He didn't want to show off, and he didn't want to lose face with Sun Can and Cao Cao. He could only stand aside in embarrassment, which formed a sharp contrast with the busy Sun Can and Cao Cao .

In the distance, there was a person watching this scene with a smile on his face, and murmured: "Loving the people is the first condition for striving for world hegemony. Only by winning the hearts of the people can we achieve great things. No wonder Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao. In terms of virtue, they are simply Not on the same level."
