The luggage of the two young men was just some clothes. In a short moment, the two of them had already arrived in front of the door of the Tenghuang Restaurant with their luggage. Naturally, Lady Fang and Chi Yun had good intentions of staying, but the two brothers had already made up their minds. Once again, they thanked Lady Fang for her hospitality.
Lady Fang knew what the two of them were thinking as well. She felt that it would be difficult for them to keep the two brothers alive, so she said, "The two of you are young heroes, so you should start a new career outside. But remember, you must come back to our Tenghuang Pavilion as guests once you've achieved success.
"Of course, of course. The Lady Boss must also manage this Tenghuang Restaurant well. When the time comes, we brothers will have to keep our reputations in check and not make the store look shabby." Lu Zhe said with a mischievous smile.
"What future can you have? I don't mind you throwing our people away! " Scarlet Cloud didn't show any signs of weakness. At this moment, she was feeling quite reluctant to part with Niu Chong, but she didn't know what to say.
"Lady Fang, Lady Chi Yun, I and my second brother will take our leave now. In the past two days, we brothers have caused quite a bit of trouble for the Tenghuang Pavilion. Here is some silver taels, please accept them as compensation." Niu Chong bowed deeply and said.
"How could the mother and daughter pair accept it? Niu Chong had no choice but to take it back." In the future, Young Master Niu will make a name for himself and his wife, and that is naturally what we hope for the most. " Madam Fang quickly said.
"That's right, that's right. You must do something in the future!" When the time comes, you must come back and visit us. " Fang Chiyun's words were vague, but the truth was that the people around her, Lady Fang, and Lu Shisheng, already understood what he was thinking.
"Let's go, let's go. Don't worry, my big brother will definitely come back to marry you. Don't worry, we won't be able to get married." Lu Zhizhan said as he pushed the cow towards the east.
"You … What nonsense are you spouting? " Fang Chiyun said with a red face.
"Second brother, you …" At this moment, Niu Chong looked a little embarrassed.
"Lady Boss, we'll come back to your Tenghuang Restaurant in the future. It's good to eat and drink. We'll be leaving first." As Lu Caishi spoke, he had already pushed Niu Chong tens of meters away.
"Welcome at any time!" A smile blossomed on Lady Fang's face as she watched the two of them leave.
At this moment, the shop assistant, Xiao Zhang, walked in front of Madam Fang and said, "Madam, this was found under Young Master Lu's pillow." At the same time, two gold ingots were handed over. It was exactly what the Japanese lady refused.
"This Lü fellow." Madam Fang smiled. "Daughter, what do you think of this pair of brothers?"
"Even if he left silver notes, that boy surnamed Lu is still not a good person. Young Master Niu, on the other hand, is a heroic youth. I hope that he won't be led astray by someone surnamed Lu." Fang Chiyun pouted.
Lady Fang didn't say anything and only smiled. She was an experienced person, and her young heart wasn't in plain sight like this. It was hard for people to make heads or tails of her thoughts.
After leaving Tenghuang Restaurant, Lu Shishi and Niu Chong did not leave Chang An in a hurry. Instead, they stayed not far from Tenghuang Restaurant. This was Lu Shisui's idea. He wanted to confirm if the people from the Emerald Bamboo Gang would cause trouble for Lady Fang and the others. Three days later, the business of the Tenghuang Tower was still as business as usual, with no signs of activity.
"There shouldn't be any problems. Let's go." Lu Shishi said.
"Alright." Niu Chong admired the meticulous thoughts of this little brother of his. He completely listened to Lu Fusheng, but in his heart, he still thought of Miss Fang Chiyun from time to time.
"Eldest brother, since Chang'an City is so bustling and prosperous, why would we need to do anything about it?" Lu Caishi saw that Niu Chong had been unhappy ever since he left Crimson Cloud. Without a single word, he took the initiative to find some words to say.
"Brother, you are so smart, but you don't even know. Brother, where are we going next? Where is Zhang Yang?" Niu Chong gloomily replied.
"Big brother, don't worry. This second brother has already investigated thoroughly." Zhang Yang was the chief of the Martial Forest Association in Jiangdong and the head of the Taikang Escort Office. It was not difficult for them to find out where he was. The Taikang Security Office was located in Yangzhou, so there would be news of him wherever he went. But before that, I'd like to go home and see what has become of my family after leaving for three years. " Although there was a smile on Lü's lips as he spoke, his eyes were already filled with longing.
"Alright, I also happen to pay a visit to your esteemed father's hall. But I can't come visit you empty-handed, so what do you think I should give you? " At the mention of going to Lü's house, a hint of happiness flashed in Niu Chong's eyes.
Lu Jiexi knew his sworn brother's personality and couldn't stop him anymore. He could only smile and say, "There is a market in front of us. Second Brother needs to change his clothes as well. Otherwise, he would be too ashamed to meet his parents. Elder brother will take a walk with us and buy some pastries. " Niu Chong, of course, had no objections, so the two of them headed towards the market at the east side.
When they arrived at the market, they found a good tailor shop. Upon entering, Lu Shishi asked loudly, "Shopkeeper, is there anything suitable for me?"
Seeing his tattered clothes, the shopkeeper casually replied, "No, let's go somewhere else."
Lu Shishi took out two taels of silver from his waist and threw it on the table, "Shopkeeper, do you want to think it over carefully? Do you have it or not?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly put it away and said with a face full of smiles, "It doesn't fit you at all. There is a young master whose body is similar to yours. The custom-made clothes will fit you in after two hours."
"Then that's it." He turned around and said to Niu Chong, "Big brother, we still have two hours here. If you're bored, you can go to the market yourself. I'll wait for you here at the store. What do you think?" Niu Chong naturally had no objections, so he went to the market by himself to see what gifts he could bring to the Lu parents.
Two hours passed quickly. Lu Shicheng, dressed in new clothes, was waiting for Niu Chong in the shop, but he still had not returned. Lu Zhi Shi was worried. He thought to himself, "My big brother has a straightforward temper, could it be that he has a dispute with someone?" He left the tailor's shop and went to the market. As expected, just after walking a few steps, he saw a group of people gathered in front of him. Niu Chong was in the middle of this group, arguing with someone, and he was even holding a newly bought snack.
"Big Brother, what happened?"
"It's this meat seller. I just bought some pastries for your father and came back, but when I passed by his meat stall, I stepped on the pig water that was thrown on the road and fell down. The pastries were also dirty, but who would have thought that this guy would not only not apologize, but also say that I didn't know how to walk." Niu Chong said angrily.
"This is …" Only then did Lu Shisui look at the butcher. He was about seven feet tall, with round shoulders and dark skin. He had a pair of small round eyes that sparkled with spirit. He looked very familiar. "Fatty Yang?" Lu Zhizhan tried to shout.
At this moment, the butcher's face was filled with anger, but when he heard someone call him by his nickname, he revealed a look of surprise and began to size up Lu Shisui from head to toe. At the moment, Lü was wearing a newly bought white robe adorned with blue flowers. He wore a pair of white underpants with blue flowers on the bottom, and black shoes. Although his skin was somewhat dark, he looked like a wealthy young master.
"You are … "Toad?" Fatty Yang said with his eyes wide open.
"Are you really a toad?" Fatty Yang looked at it a few more times, as if confirming something, and said emotionally.
"That's right." When he met his playmates in the vast Chang'an City, the many years he had spent away from home had finally been somewhat relieved.
However, Niu Chong was confused and asked, "Brother, do you know each other?"
"Big brother, let me introduce you." Lu Caishi walked between the two and introduced them, "This is Mu Shan Village's Fatty Yang, he has grown up together with second brother. "Fatty Yang, this is my sworn brother, Niu Chong. We are brothers, let's not bother about what happened just now because of me, how about it?"
"Of course." Niu Chong and Fatty Yang were straightforward people, the anger on their faces had long been replaced by joy.
"Toad, where have you been these past three years? There's been no news at all, everyone thinks that you …" Aunt Lu could not sleep because she was thinking about you. A year ago, she fell sick, so go back and visit her. " Fatty Yang said anxiously to Lu Zhi Shi.
"My mother, she. Is she sick? " Hearing this, Lu Shishi was somewhat surprised. He couldn't help but reveal a nervous expression and hastily walked in the direction of the Mu Shan Village. Fatty Yang quickly closed his stall as well. Niu Chong bought another plate of pastries, and the two of them quickly walked towards Wood Mountain Village with Lü at their side.
