Chapter 118 The Romantic Young Master Xi Yanzhi
As soon as Liu Nian finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the private room in Caiwei Pavilion.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaosi ran over and opened the door. Seeing a young man in a blue shirt and holding an ink-wash fan outside the door, he asked in confusion.
"This young master, who are you?"
"Sir, may Master Jin please stay in the private room?"
As soon as the young man's bright and gentle voice came out, the people in the private room knew that he was the enthusiastic storyteller on the high platform.
"Let him in!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jin spoke at the right time, his tone gentle but with a hint of majesty.
After hearing what Jiang Jin said, Liu Xiaosi stopped asking questions and stepped aside to invite the person outside into the private room.
"Sir, please!"
The storyteller nodded to him and walked into the private room. Liu Xiaosi closed the door of the private room.
"Huaizhi, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you doing well?"
The storyteller walked into the private room. He was Xi Yanzhi, dressed in a blue robe, with an upright figure, long hair like a waterfall, a fair face, and eyes that showed intelligence and determination.
He saw Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao, put away his folding fan, bowed to Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao, and then asked Jiang Jin.
Then he looked at Mu Jiaojiao. He had heard a long time ago that the famous Prince Jin was bought and married by a woman. This was a strange story in the world.
He had wanted to meet this legendary woman in Yudu for a long time, and now he finally saw her. She was wearing a veil, but one could tell that she had an extraordinary aura.
"Well, everything is fine, sit down."
Jiang Jin put down the teacup in his hand, motioned Xi Yanzhi to sit down, and then introduced him to Mu Jiaojiao.
"My lady, this is Xi Yanzhi, the one who manages Tianxia Diyi Lou and is also someone close to me."
"I am Xi Yanzhi, and I am honored to be here, my sister-in-law."
When Xi Yanzhi heard Jiang Jin introduce himself to Mu Jiaojiao, he immediately saluted Mu Jiaojiao again. As a person in his line of work, he is quite tactful.
"No need to be so polite, please take a seat, Master Xi."
Mu Jiaojiao stood up upon hearing this, looked at the tall and graceful Xi Yanzhi, and invited him to take a seat.
"So, Tianxia Diyilou is Ajin's property?"
After Mu Jiaojiao and the other man sat down, she immediately thought of his identity, and then her eyes flashed with deep thought, and she asked her man.
"Well, this is one of the industries I'm mainly responsible for gathering information about."
Jiang Jin confessed the truth to his wife. Actually, he was quite wealthy, otherwise his wife would always think he was poor.
"It is said that the best restaurant in the world is spread all over Dayu. The identity of the owner behind it is mysterious. I didn't expect it to be owned by Master Jin."
Liu Nian, who was sitting nearby, became upset upon hearing this. The No.1 Restaurant in the World gradually spread across Dayu about five years ago, and everyone thought it was a gang organization.
In the beginning, the royal family of the Dayu Dynasty carefully investigated the person behind such a behemoth, but they found no news after searching for a long time, and the matter was eventually dropped.
"Oh?"
Mu Jiaojiao looked at Liu Nian with shock, and only then did she realize that the No. 1 Building in the World was so extraordinary. She knew very little about these forces, and it was ultimately because she was out of touch with the news.
"Mr. Liu seems to know a lot about our No. 1 Restaurant Under Heaven."
When Xi Yanzhi heard Liu Nian say this, he naturally revealed Liu Nian's identity and expressed his admiration for the fact that he knew so much about Tianxia Diyi Lou.
"I believe that many people are not aware of the reputation of Tianxia Diyi Lou. I only know a little bit about it, but I can't say that I know a lot."
Upon hearing this, Liu Nian was not surprised that he knew his identity. After all, he was the person in charge of collecting information, and he probably knew his background thoroughly.
"Is Master Xi the fifth son of Duke Xi of Yudu?"
Zhao Xiangyi, who came in from the side and looked at him secretly, asked.
"Hahaha... Fifth Master Zhao has a good eye. I didn't expect my reputation to be so well-known that even Fifth Master Zhao knows about me."
Xi Yanzhi laughed heartily when he heard this. He knew Zhao Xiangyi and his sister, the fifth son and eighth daughter born out of wedlock of Zhao Qingshan, a fourth-rank General of the Imperial Guard.
It is said that the brother and sister were kicked out of the Zhao family five years ago and have not been heard from since. If he had not investigated Jiang Jin's wife Mu Jiaojiao and his subordinates had not searched all the people related to her, he would not have noticed the two brothers and sisters.
"The famous confidant, Mr. Xi, the elegant and handsome man in the eyes of the women of Yudu, the romantic Mr. Xi who said, 'I wouldn't give you a thousand pieces of gold, I'd rather have Mr. Xi's heart.' Xiangyi is naturally well-known."
When Zhao Xiangyi heard this, he thought of Xi Yanzhi's romantic affairs when he left Yudu five years ago, and how he was the ideal husband of thousands of brothel ladies, so he told her about it.
Moreover, Xi Yanzhi is the late-born son of Duke Xi. He has three older sisters and a half-brother. Naturally, the whole family dotes on him. He is the apple of everyone's eye.
But I didn't expect that he would develop the habit of being well-read, playboy, and spending all year round in red-light districts.
Duke Xi was very disappointed with this, and everyone in Yudu felt sorry for him as well. They were afraid that this young Master Xi would not be able to support the Duke's Mansion.
Zhao Xiangyi had never expected that Xi Yanzhi would be the manager of the No. 1 Restaurant in the World, and even a follower of Prince Jin.
After all, he was afraid that if this matter were to be made public, no one in Yudu would believe it. Xi Yanzhi's image as a playboy, amorous and talented man had already been deeply rooted in people's minds.
"Hahahaha...Mr. Zhao Wu, you are too kind to praise Jin Ge."
Xi Yanzhi's face was full of smiles. He couldn't help but open the fan in his hand and waved it, then he accepted the title of romantic young man that Zhao Xiangyi said in a romantic and affectionate manner.
Xi Yanzhi, whose courtesy name is Jinge, means to be cautious in words and deeds. It means "He Mu" (meaning "Ge"), but unfortunately it is far from the original intention of Duke Xi when he gave him this name.
"Ajin, isn't there a lot of gossip about Xi Yanzhi?"
Mu Jiaojiao drank tea and listened for a while, and she also realized that Jiang Jin's right-hand man Xi Yanzhi seemed to be a person who could walk through a field of flowers without getting a single leaf on him.
Then she turned sideways and whispered in Jiang Jin's ear, with gossipy sparks in her eyes.
Oh! There is no way!
No matter what era, girls love to eat melons. Basically all girls just want to be badger in the melon field.
There are melons everywhere!
"Hehe... Yeah~ it's quite a lot indeed!"
Jiang Jin looked at his wife's mischievous and cunning appearance and couldn't help laughing softly, then answered seriously.
Xi Yanzhi did have quite a few romantic affairs, which were what his wife called "gossip". Although he had never heard of this term, it did not affect his ability to guess and understand it.
"What's there?"
After hearing what her man said, Mu Jiaojiao sat up straight, speaking in a lazy tone, but with a hint of curiosity. At least on the surface, no one would notice that she was actually sitting on a small stool and eating melon.
