He was just a poor man who owned a run-down tavern. How precious could he be to give him a gift?
For a moment, Li Shimin was only waiting to see Ye Fan make a fool of himself and then leave with his tail between his legs.
Gao Shilian asked curiously.
"I wrote a poem for Uncle Gao.”
As he spoke, Ye Fan stood up, cleared his throat, and read out loud,"The heart of ice shines through the universe, and the Han Garden is a collection of good people. A thousand pieces of paper flew into the sea house, and a hundred bottles of wine were played in Qionglou. I hope every year on this day, the wind blowing Wu Yuan recommended Lan Sun.”
The group of nobles, who had originally looked disdainful, were instantly shocked.
This poem was simply wonderful!
In an instant, the silent hall burst into cheers.
Everyone, who had been stunned, instantly looked surprised and clapped their hands.
"Good poem, good poem!"
"You really have some skills."
"I knew it. How could an ordinary person have the qualifications to come and congratulate Brother Gao on his birthday?”
Ye Fan used this poem to praise Gao Shilian's ambition, praise the Gao residence as a place where literary works gathered, and praise the home of loyal officials and good generals.
The last sentence,'I hope that every year on this day, Wu Yuan will recommend Lan Sun', was also a blessing to Gao Shilian that every year on this day, there would be a fragrant wind fluttering and his children would be handsome.
The concept within was simply breathtaking!
Gao Shilian was shocked.
Zhangsun Wugou was shocked.
Li Shi Min was shocked.
Everyone was shocked.
Was he really just a tavern owner?
"Wonderful, wonderful! This gift can be said to be special. This old man likes it very much!”
Gao Shilian stroked his beard happily and praised Ye Fan with a flushed face. It was obvious that Gao Shilian was very satisfied with Ye Fan's poem.
"As long as Uncle Gao likes it."
After Ye Fan finished speaking, he cupped his hands at everyone."I am not talented, so please do not blame me for using this humble work as a gift.”
"Brother Ye, your poem is too good, how can you say it's a poor work? Isn't that too modest?"
Zhangsun Wugou looked at Ye Fan with a slightly different gaze.
In the beginning, she looked at Ye Fan out of feelings for her benefactor and friend. However, after hearing Ye Fan's poem, Zhangsun Wugou's heart seemed to have been stirred a little. The way she looked at Ye Fan was a little subtle.
Seeing this situation, Li Shi Min was even more furious.
That was his beloved Sister Wugou!
But now, she had actually developed admiration for a brat who came out of nowhere and had become someone else's fangirl.
However, even though Li Shiming was very unwilling, he also knew that at this time, if he went to find trouble with Ye Fan again, he would inevitably be flustered and exasperated.
Therefore, Li Shi Min could only suppress all his anger and did not say anything else. He just stared at Ye Fan with a gloomy face.
Just like that, the banquet began.
Li Shi Min didn't eat a single bite of rice, and was drinking alone.
The more he looked at Ye Fan's success, the more unhappy he felt.
Unknowingly, the banquet ended.
Ye Fan left smugly while Zhangsun Wugou sent him out of the manor.
Li Shimin could only follow his father and leave after Gao Shilian sent him off. He didn't even have the chance to speak to Zhangsun Wugou.
In the following days, the news of Ye Fan writing a masterpiece birthday poem at Gao Shilian's banquet quickly spread to the ears of the nobles in Luoyang.
Even many people knew about this.
Two days later, Ye Fan went to Xiangyue Restaurant according to the agreed date, planning to take over his new shop.
However, when she arrived, she was told that the boss was not there.
Just like that, Ye Fan waited from morning to afternoon, but the owner of Xiangyue Restaurant still did not come.
What did this mean?
At night, Xiangyue Restaurant was actually open for business again?
Although there were only a few tables of guests, the girls were still very enthusiastic.
For a moment, Ye Fan could not help but fly into a rage and suddenly slammed the table.
Crash!
The table instantly exploded, and debris scattered all over the ground.
"Zhu Yiyang, if you still don't come out, I'll smash your lousy shop!”
Ye Fan had completely lost his patience. He had sat here for an entire day and drank pot after pot of tea, but he still did not see the manager of Xiangyue Restaurant, Zhu Yiyang.
At this moment, Zhu Yiyang was sitting on the second floor, looking terrified.
After saying that, Zhu Yiyang's fat body struggled to stand up and walked downstairs step by step. He walked in front of Ye Fan with an apologetic smile.
Shopkeeper Ye, Shopkeeper Ye, I'm sorry, I just came back…"
"You came down from the second floor and told me that you just came back. You have wings on your body, so you always come back from the roof?”
Ye Fan snorted angrily.
"Shopkeeper Ye, don't be angry. I'm really sorry, but I can't sell this shop to you…"
"This is the deposit, please keep it…"
As he spoke, Zhu Yiyang returned the 50 taels of gold to Ye Fan.
"What's wrong with your brain? Did someone bid a high price? Tell me the number and I'll pay you as much as you want!”
Ye Fan was a little unhappy.
" It's not like that. Sigh…I don't want to sell it. This shop is my father's property. Last night, he told me in my dream that if I sold it, he would…"
"Fine, fine, fine. You don't have to waste your breath. Whether you want to sell it or not, do you think I care?”
Ye Fan really couldn't be bothered to listen to his nonsense. He took 50 taels of gold and left.
Ye Fan had long been interested in this place and had always wanted it. But now, Zhu Yiyang said that he would not sell it. Ye Fan really could not understand what he was thinking.
Ye Fan could not be bothered to continue bargaining with him. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, Ye Fan would lose if they did not cut the price to 300 taels.
However, why did he suddenly go back on his word? Ye Fan could not figure it out and could not be bothered to think about it. This guy was too unreliable. He should find another person.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan returned to the tavern with a depressed expression.
At this moment, the tavern was under the management of Zhao Xiaohu. It was running in an orderly manner. At night, business was booming.
"Shopkeeper, Old Master Yang is here and is waiting for you on the second floor.”
As soon as he returned, Zhao Xiaohu said to Ye Fan.
"Oh."
Ye Fan nodded, thinking that it was just right. He was just about to find someone to drink with when someone came.
Then, Ye Fan directly instructed Zhao Xiaohu to bring a few more cans of wine and then went to the second floor.
