Chapter 110 Xu Huizhen Tavern
The two came to the tavern.
Wang Jianjun glanced at the name of the shop, Daqianmen Bistro.
Well, it is this drama after all.
As soon as she entered the door, Wu Jing shouted inside:
"Boss, bring us 4 liang of Erguotou, and a plate of braised pig's head and fennel beans. What would you like to drink, brother Ye? Besides Erguotou, they also sell beer."
"Then give me a beer. I'm not used to white beer."
"Okay, boss, give this gentleman a beer."
"Wait a minute."
While the wine was being served, Wu Jing led Wang Jianjun to a secluded table and sat down.
It's a bit late, but there are still quite a few people drinking here.
Wang Jianjun glanced at the private manager who was serving drinks at the counter.
A young woman, who looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, and quite pretty.
It looks much better than in the drama.
There was a man who looked anxious and was working silently nearby.
His face looks a bit like He Daqing in my memory.
This person should be Cai Quanwu.
When Xu Huizhen heard Wu Jing's words, she smiled and said,
"It's Wu Ge. I haven't seen you come here for a drink for a while. You brought a new guest to me today. Which friend did you invite tonight?"
"He's my friend. We just met and I came to catch up with you."
Private transactions can be done but not talked about, so Wu Jing naturally won't publicize it.
Xu Huizhen was a discerning person. When she saw that Wu Jing did not sit in the usual place but took Wang Jianjun to sit in the corner, she guessed that the two of them were talking and did not want others to know.
The wine and food were served and the two ate and chatted.
The atmosphere of the tavern is a bit like a bar in later times.
The drinkers at the table were drinking and chatting.
From time to time, he would give advice on the country's affairs or discuss national affairs.
Xu Huizhen is a very versatile person and can chat with anyone.
Plus, she's pretty, so many drinkers like to talk to her.
No one could have imagined that such a beautiful woman would choose a man like Cai Quanwu.
In the drama, even though she is married and has children, she still has many suitors.
In the future, she will definitely be regarded as a role model by countless fairies on Xiaohongshu.
Wang Jianjun took a sip of beer.
The taste is a bit like the craft beer of later generations.
A little bitter but very mellow in flavor.
The side dishes in the restaurant are quite good and are perfect to go with wine.
The two chatted for a while, and Wang Jianjun also had a general understanding of Wu Jing's situation.
His ancestors were wealthy and produced a second-rank official.
These family properties were also passed down from his ancestors through hard work and corruption.
But the younger generation is not up to standard.
I can’t be an official and I can’t make money in business.
But the days of debauchery and drinking continued as usual.
By the time Wu Jing's grandfather came around, they started selling off their property to maintain a decent life.
It was Wu Jing's father's turn and he lost part of the battle.
In other words, Wu Jing's ancestors were awesome.
When it's Wu Jing's turn, there will still be some family assets left for him to spend.
But the times were not kind to him.
With his status, it is difficult for him to find a job in this era.
There is no other solution except selling off all my belongings.
Living like this was not a solution, so Wu Jing decided to sell his ancestral property and move to the south.
Hearing about selling the ancestral property, Wang Jianjun asked calmly:
"Brother Wu, besides those antiques, do you want to sell your courtyard house?"
Wu Jing immediately waved his hand and said:
"Brother Ye, everything else is easy to talk about. But don't even think about this house. My family has an ancestral precept that the house cannot be sold. We will still come back in the future."
Wang Jianjun felt a little regretful, but he didn't force it.
He suddenly remembered a character named Pian Ye in the play Zhengyangmen.
This guy is a hidden boss.
A courtyard with three entrances and old furniture shows that the ancestors were obviously wealthy.
When Wang Jianjun walked towards the crowd, he saw a middle-aged man who looked somewhat like Yan Bugui acting as a supporting actor.
"Brother Wu, who is that man? He looks a bit like an old man in my yard."
Wu Jing looked in the direction of Wang Jianjun's eyes and said with a smile:
"I wonder who it is? We all call that guy Pian Ye. He is a bannerman like me, but his life is worse than mine. All he has left in his family now is an old house and some old furniture that is worth some money."
Knowing that he was Pian Ye, Wang Jianjun was not in a hurry to make friends with him.
Just by looking at the length of Xu Huizhen’s hair, you can tell that Pian Ye hasn’t sold the house yet.
There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Wang Jianjun and Wu Jing talked about the details of the transaction again.
Just then a hearty female voice came in.
"Xu Huizhen, I'm here to see you."
Arrive before anyone arrives.
Wang Jianjun glanced towards the door and saw a graceful woman walking in.
You don’t have to guess to know that this person is Chen Xueru.
As soon as Chen Xueru came in, she attracted the attention of some men.
Wang Jianjun also looked at the woman.
Although she is not the first female lead, in his opinion, Chen Xueru is much more beautiful than Xu Huizhen.
Whether it's in the play or outside the play.
But this woman has a bad eye for men.
The men I married several times were not good people.
Wang Jianjun glanced at her and then looked away. This woman was not his type. Like most men, he was not attracted by career-oriented girls.
Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen love and hate each other just like Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.
Of course, the competition between women is not so much a fight to the death.
It's more of a superficial sisterhood, with them playing dirty tricks on each other behind the scenes.
Wang Jianjun listened for a while. Although the two men spoke in a friendly manner, they clashed several times secretly.
The pretentious tone gave Wang Jianjun goosebumps.
Woman.
The two women competed for a while, and then Chen Xueru ordered a two-liang cup of Erguotou and a plate of side dishes, and found a seat to drink.
She doesn't like to sit at the same table with others.
With her strong personality, she immediately sent away the people who were drinking at a table and occupied another table by herself.
Coincidentally, her table was right next to Wang Jianjun's.
Chen Xueru just sat down and saw Wu Jing sitting next to her and greeted her:
"Brother Wu, why don't you sit in your old seat today?"
As he was speaking, he noticed Wang Jianjun standing beside him.
Looking at Wang Jianjun's face, Chen Xueru couldn't help but feel moved.
She is now divorced from her first husband and is looking for a new partner.
Although Fan Jinyou looks like a decent human being, he is actually a fool and a villain.
Manager Liao is a married woman.
For someone like Wang Jianjun, even if he makes some principled mistakes after marriage, I can forgive him just by looking at his face.
Thinking of this, Chen Xueru couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Wu, who is this young man to you? He looks really handsome but a little unfamiliar. Is this your first time drinking here?"
"He's a friend of mine. We just happened to meet here and catch up."
Wu Jing casually explained that tonight was also the first time he and Wang Jianjun officially met.
"I don't know what this guy's name is, but my name is Chen Xueru. I run a silk shop nearby, and the name is Xueru Silk Shop. If you have time, come and make a dress for me, and I'll give you a discount."
