I was a beauty blogger in ancient times

There were as many people in Lao Tie Tang as usual, Huang Huaijian followed Zhao Yiqing to his exclusive private room.

This was Huang Huaijian's first visit to Lao Tie Tang, and he ate at Zhao Yiqing's house before, so he couldn't help being a little nervous, and asked quietly, "Can I really jump in the queue?"

Zhao Yiqing nodded and said, "Yes."

Huang Huaijian narrowed his eyes when he smiled instantly, and he was a different person from when he was in the gambling house, and he returned to his usual cute and cute look.

Zhao Yiqing couldn't hold back and pinched his cheek.

Huang Huaijian:?

Zhao Yiqing coughed, changed the topic and said, "What's going on in Ji Maocheng's family?"

Huang Huaijian opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise, "You've been playing with him for so long and still don't know?"

Zhao Yiqing looked confused and said, "Why do I need to know?"

"Because their family's affairs are very famous!" Huang Huaijian said with a look of course on his face: "Almost the entire street of North Street belongs to their family, and their family has cooperated with the imperial court, and there are many people rushing to curry favor with their family. I went. I thought you had such a good relationship with Ji Maocheng because of this."

Zhao Yiqing thought about what happened in the gambling house today, and couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "Then what happened to those people today? Knowing that Bojin Casino belongs to their family, they still don't show face?"

"Because Ji Maocheng is not his own." Huang Huaijian gave an answer that Zhao Yiqing hadn't expected at all, as if everyone knew it.

Zhao Yiqing didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, so he could only say in a daze: "This, this is it..."

Seeing Zhao Yiqing's dazed look, Huang Huaijian understood that Zhao Yiqing really didn't know, so he said: "It's not right to say that Ji Maocheng is not his own. Ji Maocheng was born by a woman in a brothel. His mother gave birth to him and went there." , left a last word saying that he is the seed of Master Ji, so Ji's family took him back. He has been raised with delicious food and drink until he grows up, and he has never been too harsh, but after all, he was not born by a mother. He and his family members have a lot of relationship. Master Ji is a person who judges ability but not people. Apart from writing articles well, Ji Maocheng has nothing outstanding. How should I put it, anyway, he has always been a Dispensable existence, business or anything has nothing to do with him. Those who played with him before found out about this and gradually alienated him. Those real dude circles in Beijing are all linked to the imperial court, so they will naturally exclude him. .”

Zhao Yiqing, who was overwhelmed by the amount of information, didn't realize it, and asked after a long time: "Aren't they all running shops? Why are they linked to the court?"

Seeing that he really didn't know, Huang Huaijian looked at Zhao Yiqing in amazement for a while, making Zhao Yiqing feel uncomfortable, and then sighed: "I think Ningzhitang is so prosperous that even Qinfenglou has your shadow, and you are still there." Thought you knew everything!"

Zhao Yiqing, who never cared about other things, had nothing to say for a while.

Huang Huaijian looked at Zhao Yiqing with embarrassment, and then continued: "Naturally, it goes without saying that my family is an imperial merchant, so it's hard not to have anything to do with it. Ji Mao got married because of a gambling house. Although there are quite a few people who gamble, they are nothing compared to what they are now. The reason is that the imperial court has intervened, and the imperial court has even issued relevant laws. If you are not in debt, you will still go to jail, and the gambling house must be fair. You can't let people just pay but not earn. Every month, the imperial court will take a cut from the gambling house. Naturally, the imperial court takes the big money, but the remaining money makes the Ji family not to be underestimated, especially North Street. They take care of it. It's the same, only girls from Ji's family can become imperial concubines in the palace."

"However..." Huang Huaijian pondered for a moment, and said: "Now the Ji family seems to want to go to a serious shop, but apart from the rouge shop, there is nothing to sell, and for some reason, it is safe and sound to be a gambling shop How wonderful, it’s extremely rare to open a shop in central Beijing now, there are a bunch of time-honored brands.”

Zhao Yiqing summed it up, isn't this the so-called legal casino?For a while, the image of the holy gambler and god of gamblers flashed through his mind, and the image of Ji Maocheng grew up in his heart.

As for why Ji's family wanted to be a serious shop, Zhao Yiqing felt that there must be reasons of his own, such as the reason why the gambling shop would close down, so Zhao Yiqing couldn't help but conspiratorially speculate.

Suddenly, Huang Huaijian seemed to remember something

, said: "By the way, the Wei Qingmou you met today, you should stay away, he is sick, and the Wei family is different from those of us who run shops."

Zhao Yiqing couldn't help being curious, and asked, "What's the difference?"

Huang Huaijian didn't really want to talk about Wei Qingmou, but Zhao Yiqing really didn't know anything about these things. He thought for a while and concluded: "First of all, it's because of him. To be able to get along well with him, he only has interests in his eyes, and his personality is extremely bad, he likes to tease others, he thinks it is funny, but in fact he does things far beyond the ranks of teasing. Secondly, He grew up in the palace since he was a child, he has dealt with all kinds of people since he was a child, and his behavior is terribly tactful, the most important thing is that he grew up with the current emperor when he was a child, and he is the emperor's best friend."

"Finally, and the most crucial point." Huang Huaijian took a deep breath and said, "Their family is the largest grain merchant in Daxuan."

For a while, Zhao Yiqing felt that he was weak in selling beauty products, and the Wei family could be said to hold Daxuan's lifeblood. Compared with his Ningzhitang, it was nothing more than a child's house.

Seeing Zhao Yiqing's shocked look, Huang Huaijian shrugged his shoulders and said, "His family is more like an imperial merchant than mine, but his family is not. Because of this, Wei Qingmou didn't deal with my brother since he was a child, and he also didn't deal with me when he saw me later. , It’s just a brain problem.”

Just as he was talking, Xiaoer brought up the dishes.

Zhao Cai Jin Bao did not follow today, Zhao Yiqing went to order dishes from the shopkeeper himself.Huang Huaijian likes to eat food with strong taste, especially spicy and sour. Zhao Yiqing specially asked the cook to cook hot and sour dishes.

As soon as the dishes were served, they were all red, and Huang Huaijian's eyes lit up. He sat at the table with a bowl in his hand and looked at Zhao Yiqing with sparkling eyes, waiting for the meal to start.

Zhao Yiqing originally wanted him to talk about the so-called high-class dudes in Beijing, but because Huang Huaijian was sitting there waiting for the meal to be too obedient, Zhao Yiqing softened his heart and said, "Let's eat."

Huang Huaijian was overjoyed immediately, and his chopsticks moved quickly.

Zhao Yiqing also started to eat, but he forgot one thing, that is, he had never eaten spicy food since he was a child due to physical reasons.As soon as the chopsticks went down, Zhao Yiqing was immediately flooded with hot tears and snot, and his head became dizzy.

When Mu Di came, he saw Zhao Yiqing who had red eyes and nose and was still silently sniffling snot, so Mu Di decided to go to Wei Qingmou's house to take him out at night while eating their leftovers.

In the other room, Wei Qingmou sneezed suddenly, thinking: It's getting cold, it's time to add clothes.
