Chapter 411 - 326. Civil War
Li Shamao Alley, Chunfeng Courtyard.
The young man leaned against the window yawning, waiting from 5 p.m. to 9 to 11 p.m., bored to the extreme.
He sighed and said, "You shouldn’t have driven the girls from Chunfeng Courtyard away. It would have been nice to let them stay and sing a little tune."
Zhou Kuang sat beside him, eyes also lifeless: "Master, if we keep them here and they find out your identity and talk nonsense, am I supposed to silence them? It’s been five days now; you missed Lord Wu from the Ministry of Rites’ invitation, and you missed Lord Zhang from the Ministry of Personnel’s invitation, how many things have been delayed just to watch this show? If they don’t come today, let’s not come again."
The young man chuckled: "You fool, what do I need to meet so many ministry officials for? It only invites suspicion. Don’t worry, that group of people will certainly come."
Zhou Kuang looked up: "When will they come?"
The young man looked through the crack in the window down the alley: "Heji and Furui Xiang, hundreds of people stopped their business to guard here. How many days can they watch? Don’t they need the business from Chongnan Fang, Zhengxi Fang, Glass Factory? Is the Ghost Market in Panjia Garden still open? Let’s see who can’t hold on first."
Just then, sounds of a quarrel came from downstairs.
Zhu Guan was seen standing in Li Shamao Alley, arguing loudly with Qian Ping: "Don’t block me, it’s already the fifth day. You Heji aren’t doing business, but we at Furui Xiang still need to do business."
Qian Ping stood under the red lantern building and said calmly, "Steward Zhu, you and our Heji Dragon Head have sworn an alliance before Qigong; are you now going to break the promise?"
Zhu Guan sneered coldly: "I’m not breaking the promise, it’s just that business can’t be delayed. If this trivial matter ruins the business in Panjia Garden, I can’t bear the blame if the boss blames me. If that group comes again, just send someone to call me. We at Furui Xiang won’t just stand by and watch."
