Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

Chapter 86 Old Friend



At this time, Heyu Tea House was surrounded.

At the back of Heyu Tea House, two guests came.

"Yun Jin, here we come!"

"Ah, Xin Yan and Xiang Ling, you are here!"

Yun Jin's brows were filled with joy, she stopped what she was doing, stood up and greeted them.

"Oops! Sit back quickly and get ready. Don't worry about us. There are many spectators waiting outside now."

"Yeah, that's right!"

After Yun Jin heard what Xin Yan and Xiang Ling said, she had no choice but to sit down again. Yun Ning, who was about to open her mouth to stop her, also closed her mouth.

"Bang! Yun Jin, my hall master is here!"

A girl broke into the backcourt, it was Hu Tao.

"Wutao, you're here too!"

Yun Jin was about to stand up, but was pushed down by Hu Tao again.

"Xin Yan, Xiang Ling, you are here too!"

Hutao raised his hand and looked at Xin Yan and the others with excitement.

"Of course! Today is Yun Jin's birthday, and we want to come over to celebrate her."

"Yeah, that's just right. Yun Jin, what show are you going to sing today? Do you still remember the last time you lost to our hall leader? It's agreed that the loser will sing the lyrics written by the other party in his own way. Oops. , the theatrical version of "The Ballad of Qiuqiu", I really want to listen to it once."

Hu Tao blinked and said the words to Yun Jin, but looked at Yun Ning aside.

As expected, Yun Ning said anxiously:

"No, no, no! Mr. Yun is Liyue's treasure! Everyone pays attention to every move he makes, how can he sing such a weird play? If it does, it will lose everyone's style... No, no!"

"Okay, okay, I will definitely not do this on stage. Yun Ning, Hutao is teasing you... Everyone knows that you care about me too much. You, care will lead to chaos."

"Oh! But as the manager of Yunhan Club, I have to protect your reputation and personal safety. This is my duty!"

Looking at the upright Yun Ning, the four girls all smiled.

……

Wu Ye and others arrived early, but some people came earlier.

The first five rows were all full. Except for the first and second rows, there were some empty seats. But strangely, no one sat there. It must have been reserved.

Wu Ye noticed that Zhongli was sitting on the seat closest to the stage in the first row, and there was an empty seat next to him.

"Xiao Ye, it seems that we are still a little late, but it doesn't matter. We can sit a little further back."

"But your eyesight is not as good as before... I will negotiate with the person in front and spend some money to change your seat."

"Hey, no need! Grandpa, my ears are very good. We are just here to watch a play, not people. We just need to hear the words."

"All right……"

"Old sir, why don't you come and sit here? I have an empty seat here."

Zhongli stood up and said to Wu Yong.

"Ah?" Wu Yong was a little in disbelief. He looked at Wu Ye in confusion, "Xiao Ye, is this your friend? Grandpa, most of my friends are no longer alive. I don't know that gentleman who is so young."

Seeing Zhongli nodding to him, Wu Ye returned the salute seriously.

"It's okay. I know that gentleman. Anyway, he has been very kind to me, but I will find a way to repay...so grandpa, just go and sit down."

"I see, then I have to go over and thank this gentleman!"

When Wu Yong walked to Zhongli's side, Wu Ye's heart suddenly lifted and he prayed that his grandfather would never talk to Zhongli as an elder, otherwise his life would be shortened!

Obviously, Wu Ye was worried too much.

"Oh! It's true! Sir, you look really...an old man. I thought I was dazzled when I looked at you from a distance. But now, when I look closer, I see that you, sir, are really a god."

"I estimate that Prince Yan's appearance was just like this when he was young! Sir, you are really like stones like jade, pine trees like emeralds, and your beauty is unique and unique in the world..."

Wu Yong always praised Zhongli loudly when he met him, and directly...well, praised Zhongli to his heart.

"Old sir, you're welcome, just sit down. This seat was originally reserved for you."

"Oh, that's great! You're such an old man, so I'd rather obey your orders and watch the show with you, sir."

"Hahaha, old gentleman, you don't need to call me husband. My surname is Zhong and my given name is Li. I am now serving as a guest minister in the Hall of Purity. You can just call me Xiao Zhong."

"No, no, no! How can it be like this! You are Xiaoye's benefactor, and you are my great benefactor. It is only appropriate for me to honor you as Mr. One Bell!"

"Mr. Zhong, although my Xiaoye is an ordinary person with limited abilities, he knows how to repay you. As long as you have any needs, just ask and he will do his best, including me."

"I don't know if you like drinking. I brewed some peach blossom wine myself. The taste is still very mellow. After watching the show, I will personally take it to the Hall of Life."

"...I'm sorry, I'm so rude, I just noticed that I was speaking all the time. I just thought you looked a bit like an old friend of mine."

Wu Yong patted his forehead and said apologetically.

"It's okay, old gentleman, I'm happy to listen to you... By the way, what are the characteristics of your old friend? Maybe I know him too."

"You probably don't know that my old friend, before Xiao Ye was born, had a gray-haired appearance and was older than me."

"His name is Zhai Jun. He met me because he happened to pass by me when I was selling copybook couplets on the street. He thought my calligraphy was very good and said it was the best in Liyue Port, so we became My friend...forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore, after all, I can’t write well now.”

"Zhai Jun, his biggest characteristic is that he is fastidious!"

"Actually, everyone is somewhat particular. For example, they can't eat spicy food, they can't eat fish, and their tofu must be sweet. But Zhai Jun is very particular about everything."

"His life is the kind of life where he orders the most popular celebrities when listening to operas, buys the most expensive thrush when walking around, and goes to the kitchen to personally instruct the chef on the proportion of shrimp to fish in the egg liquid to taste the authentic "Mingyue Egg."

"It was the first time I went to hear a Yunhan Society play, and he took me with him. Since then, I have loved going to the theater."

"He is one of the few good friends in my heart, but one day he told me... that my daughter-in-law's unborn child was an outsider and would be considered unclean and would be wiped out. He advised me to do it. Be prepared."

"Of course I didn't believe it at the time and even scolded him... I have never seen him again since then."

"Mr. Zhong, thank you for being willing to listen to my story. I have never told Xiao Ye this. Please don't tell him. I'm afraid Xiao Ye will be sad."

After Wu Yong told what he had buried in his heart, he felt much better. Zhongli had already made tea for his old friend.

"Mr. Zhong, thank you!" Wu Yong took the tea cup and took a sip, "Yes! Is this the best blue water green tea? It has a very long-lasting taste. I remember Zhai Jun also likes to drink this kind of tea."

"It's okay, old gentleman. If you want to drink it, I have a lot of tea. I'll prepare some for you later. You can take it back and drink it."

"How could it be possible? This tea is very expensive. You are still Xiao Ye's benefactor. I can't have it from you."

Wu Yong waved his hand quickly, shook his head and refused.

"Well, let's just use a new copybook you wrote in exchange for it."

"That's even worse. I haven't touched a pen in the past few years because my eyes are old..."

"It's okay, maybe you can write it after you go back and try it, old man."

Zhong Li smiled, and a golden light emerged from his hand, and then disappeared into Wu Yong's eyes. Wu Yong and the people around him did not notice it, only the ape god observed this scene.

"Okay, I'll give it a try when I get back. If I can really write it, I'll send it to you at the Hall of Purity."

"Okay, old sir, it's settled."
