Chapter 110: Ningfu Banquet
Dongfang Yichen's heart was about to break, this morning was stirred up by Dongfang Yixian, but seeing that the eldest brother was going to the General's Mansion to withdraw from the marriage for the sake of Ruoxi girl, it was something he never dreamed of, the eldest brother was filial to his mother, and he was obedient, over the years, although he didn't like Yuan Qingxiao, but because of his mother, he was courteous and thoughtful to the mother and daughter of the Yuan family. Even if Yuan Qingxiao's cousin Yuan Qingmei abused Lianzhou in every way, she couldn't bear it, and she didn't want to tear her face with the Yuan family. She is uninhibited and uninhibited, the most unrestrained, even if she loves Ruoxi, she can't do such a thing for her, let alone the eldest brother who has always been respectful and polite? Dongfang Yichen sighed to himself, looked at Dongfang Yixian, and said: "What is the eldest brother's send, just say, I will do it." โ
Dongfang Yixian patted Dongfang Yichen on the shoulder and said: "We said in the car, I made an appointment with Huang Bai Daxian and are discussing a confidential matter, which is related to this divorce, we are good friends with the Yuan family, we can't regret the marriage for no reason, right?
"What did the eldest brother hear?" Dongfang Yichen followed Dongfang Yixian's footsteps closely, the two hurriedly went downstairs, got into the carriage, and the car quickly left Dongfang Huafu, Dongfang Yixian said: "I can't say this yet, but you will see the results soon." I want you to join me at the family banquet of Ning Gongzi, a newly arrived wealthy merchant in Fengxiang. Fengxiang's merchants have all received invitations, President Chu Yunpeng repeatedly invited me to go with him, saying that there is something to discuss, I rushed to see Huangbai Daxian, the old lady values time very much, I will go to Ningfu after I meet her, you go first, anyway, Uncle Chu is also familiar with you, he is busy with affairs, it is estimated that he will not be in Ningfu for a long time, what do you think he has to do?"
"Okay, big brother, you go get busy. I'm going to see Uncle Chu. Dongfang Yichen said: "I heard Uncle Liang say that this Ning Gongzi is very arrogant, he once went to our ready-to-wear store to buy clothes, it is said that because there is no suitable one, he is disrespectful, the guy waited for a long time, and received a slap, they brought a lot of people that day, and the shopkeeper was afraid of making trouble, so he sent someone to greet Uncle Liang, and when Uncle Liang rushed over, they were already gone." Kicked the clothes rack and made a mess. โ
"I already know about this matter, this person has no cultivation, the old man of Ningfu personally apologized to the shopkeeper for this matter, and compensated for the loss, the old man is a scene person, he doesn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, the invitation card is sent to the house by the old man himself, and there are Uncle Chu's repeated invitations inside, it doesn't look good if we don't go, it's a trivial matter, forget it in the past, if you tie the beam, everyone will feel awkward. It's just that, having said that, you still have to be careful, I'll finish my work and pass it quickly. After Dongfang Yixian finished explaining, he went down to a teahouse on the street and went to the appointment of Huangbai Daxian.
The carriage sent Dongfang Yichen directly to Ning's house, Dongfang Yichen didn't like to socialize, and he had prejudices against this Ning Gongzi, so he got off the car and handed over the post, and followed the endless stream of guests at the door to enter Ning's mansion. The housekeeper who received him at the door, when he saw that the invitation card was the second young master of Dongfang Huafu, shouted loudly: "Dongfang Huafu, the second young master has arrived." โ
Master Ning greeted him with a smile, hugged his fists and said, "Second Young Master is here, Ning Mansion feels very honored." Why didn't the eldest young master come with him?"
"Master Ning, okay!" Dongfang Yichen clasped his fists and saluted, "Brother will be here in a while, he is already on the way." โ
"Yichen, I haven't seen you for a while, and I'm getting more and more heroic. I saw a spirited, well-dressed old man walking over with a big smile, and he looked out the door and said, "Where is Yixian?"
"On the road, it'll be there in a minute. Dongfang Yichen hugged his fists and said, "Uncle Chu, how are you doing?"
"Good, good. Chu Yunpeng pulled Dongfang Yichen's hand, looked at Master Ning, and said, "Old Ning, you go and get busy, I'll chat with Yichen." โ
"Okay, President Chu, the second young master will talk first. Master Ning smiled and retreated, and went to the door to greet the guests, Dongfang Yichen was surprised that he didn't find that Ning Gongzi was present, it stands to reason that the work of receiving at the door is handed over to the juniors to do, and the elders are inside.
The guests were chatting in the courtyard in twos and threes, and Chu Yunpeng took Dongfang Yichen to a secluded corner and whispered: "Yixian, why didn't you come over? Master Ning has already taught Young Master Ning Qiang a lesson, this is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, don't be like him." โ
"No, the eldest brother will arrive later, he is in a hurry to sign some business, and he is afraid that you are busy, let me come early, if you are not in a hurry, wait for him to come, if you are in a hurry, tell me first, I will go back and tell the eldest brother." Dongfang Yichen said.
Chu Yunpeng's face was solemn, and he said: "The annual Fengxiang Chamber of Commerce will be held at the beginning of next month, this year's registration actually has Jin Gemen, his name is filled in the name of my son-in-law Jin Wan's Jishitang, if he is eliminated, Jishitang will undoubtedly be excluded, this is also inconsistent with the rules, I know that Yixian has always been shrewd, you tell him about this matter, let him get an idea for me, and check it." โ
"I must tell my eldest brother, don't worry. Does Sister Chu Meng know?" Dongfang Yichen whispered: "The evil art of the Golden Gomen is prevalent, you must give Sister Chu Meng a wake-up call and let her be careful in everything." โ
"Hey, no matter how the person next to the pillow is guarded, it can't be guarded against. Chu Yunpeng sighed sadly and said, "In this matter, I can only count on Yixian." Jin Gemen has done a lot of evil, I don't know how Jin Million has anything to do with them, I and Old Man Jin are very anxious, this is a terrible thing. โ
"Uncle Chu, don't worry, let's think about countermeasures slowly, there must be a way. Dongfang Yichen comforted.
The two of them were whispering, when they suddenly heard a commotion in the hall, laughter and noise inside, and the guests in the courtyard were curious, and they went into the house to see what was going on.
"What's wrong?" Dongfang Yichen saw that everyone had gone to the hall, and only the two of them were left. He looked at Chu Yunpeng and said, "Uncle Chu, let's go in and have a look?"
"Nothing unusual? it must be that Ning Qiang's little overlord came out, I don't know what strange things I got today, Master Ning is careful for this rebel to wipe his ass everywhere, hey, pity the parents of the world." Chu Yunpeng shook his head, sighed, and walked to the hall with Dongfang Yichen.
Dongfang Yichen said: "It's quite strange just now, why is the old man receiving outside, but his son is inside, what kind of rule is this?"
"Although this little overlord is doing nonsense, he is a good hand at doing business, and his eyes are poisonous? โ
Dongfang Yichen saw this Ning Qiang for the first time, Ning Gongzi. I saw that he was dressed in a light blue tie-dyed shirt, which was very elegant, and there was a big red carp tied on the placket. Everyone surrounded Ning Gongzi and was amazed, and couldn't help but praise, and said: "Ning Gongzi, this dress is so meaningful and so precious, you can see that this fish is worth a lot of money when you look at the painting work?"
Ning Gongzi is burly, and his facial features are also good. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "This is a secret, don't inquire, as soon as this master has a new work, it must be approved by my son Ning before it can be sold." You can't buy it. How can such exquisite clothes be made by these ready-to-wear stores, such as Jingjia Garment, Oriental Ready-to-Wear, etc., all of which look like they were dug out of a grave. โ
Dongfang Yichen listened to his derogatory reprimand, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Ning Gongzi's tie-dyed clothes are from Yunnan, Fengxiang is rare, and there is no need to belittle Fengxiang's ready-to-wear stores are all dug out of the soil, right?"
"Yo Yo, there is also the one who answers, which owner of the clothing seller are you? I look at the eyes? I dare to love that my face has not been massaged by the uncle, I feel uncomfortable, right?" Ning Qiang walked out of the encirclement of everyone and came to Dongfang Yichen's side.
"Ning Qiang, this is the second young master of Dongfang Huafu. You're rude. Chu Yunpeng frowned and reprimanded: "What about your father receiving guests outside? โ
Ning Qiang laughed and said, "You are Dongfang Yichen Shaoxia? You are a hero, I don't know the current situation of the business, I really don't mean to belittle the Oriental Ready-to-Wear, but the Oriental Ready-to-wear I went around, I didn't buy a decent dress, what can you let me say?" He raised his head lightly and said to everyone: "Hehe, I'm really embarrassed, master, I smashed the Oriental Garment Store last time, it's really rubbish." โ
"You ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Dongfang Yichen had never met such an arrogant person, and he dared to humiliate him in public, Dongfang Yichen's face turned blue with anger, and he grabbed Ning Qiang's arm and said, "Insolent boy, lack discipline." The round punch was about to be hit, and everyone screamed.
Where would Ning Gongzi be Dongfang Yichen's opponent, his arm was grabbed by Dongfang Yichen, and he screamed "Wow Wow", Master Ning hurriedly ran in when he heard the sound, and behind him was Dongfang Yixian, Master Ning shouted, "Second Young Master, look at the old man's thin face, and show mercy to his subordinates." โ
Dongfang Yixian hurriedly ran over, pulled Dongfang Yichen away, and said with a smile: "Yichen, don't play with Ning Gongzi, you two like to learn martial arts, and you have to find a spacious place." โ
"Who is learning martial arts with him? He is just a reckless man, if he can't do it, is it difficult, I am still afraid that you will not succeed?" Ning Qiang didn't look at it at all, and Master Ning's face was already the color of pig liver.
Dongfang Yichen has never been in his life, he was trembling by this kid, if it wasn't for Dongfang Yixian dragging him, he would have the heart to kill him with one punch.
"The eldest young master, the second young master, the old man is here to apologize to you, the child is ignorant, making nonsense, the old man has no way to teach his son, and he can't stand the two of you. "As soon as Master Ning arrived.
"Master Ning, this is unacceptable, you are serious. The two of them are playing, where is what, who is right and who is wrong?" Dongfang Yixian also returned the salute.
"This is like a human saying, you are the big boss of Oriental Ready-to-Wear, Dongfang Yixian, right?" Ning Qiang raised his eyebrows and said: "You are commenting, obviously you Dongfang Ready-to-wear is not good, and you can't say it?
Dongfang Yixian carefully observed his dress, in addition to the color, tie-dye, painting, these factors are eliminated, its workmanship, style, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the clothes of the Washington maid, thinking of the recent Dongmen Snow Fox report that the small dyeing workshop is selling a batch of tie-dye clothes, and there are long queues in the alleys, originally he wanted Asu to go over and buy one, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that Ruoxi would know that the matter would be revealed, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and cried, so he dispelled the idea.
Dongfang Yixian smiled and said: "The clothes on Ning Gongzi's body are actually from Dongfang Ready-to-Wear. It's just that we have a small dyeing workshop for the poor people, called "Sitian Cloth". The clothes there are very cheap, they are all old styles, but the price is cheap, ordinary people can afford to buy them, they really have no money, they can work for a few days, and they can also take a piece of clothing and go. โ
Ning Gongzi was said by Dongfang Yixian, and his face suddenly turned gloomy, and said: "This dress is indeed from the newly opened Sitian cloth clothes, but when did it become an industry under the name of your Oriental Ready-to-wear? Isn't Dongfang Ready-to-wear really ashamed and want to buy her? I have already given a fixed amount of money, and each of her works must be selected by me first, and I can only sell it to you if I don't want it, or, I will buy their small shop right now, what does Dongfang Gongzi think?"
"It is an honor for Oriental Ready-to-Wear that you like our clothes. Dongfang Yixian smiled: "It's just that nobles like Ning Gongzi should enjoy the higher-standard treatment of Dongfang Ready-to-Wear, and the next time you buy clothes, don't run to a place like a small dyeing shop." โ
"You, you really think of yourself as the boss. Ning Gongzi saw that Dongfang Yixian was calm and relaxed, and he was worthless in the wind and drizzle. He shook the big carp clothes on his body and said, "I have heard that Dongfang Yixian is very good at business? Why don't we take a gamble and see who can get a town shop baby with Sitian cloth clothes? If she is really your own, this matter is not difficult, right? Isn't it easy to get your own clothes?"
The more carefully Dongfang Yixian observed, the more confident he became, and said with a smile: "What are you betting on? I'm bullying you, there's nothing to bet on, you're a guest, I'm the host." โ
"Dongfang Gongzi, when did you open such a good ready-to-wear store, don't tell us, so you can go and cheer. "The merchants are also not used to Ning Gongzi's arrogance, and they all know that Dongfang Yixian has never been a.
"Haha, it's really interesting, you are the host, I am the guest?" Ning Gongzi had already inquired about this small dyeing workshop clearly, as soon as he saw this dress, he keenly discovered the value inside, this kind of fine tie-dyeing that is more superb than Yunnan tie-dye, must contain huge business opportunities, this is a virgin land that has never been cultivated, and it has nothing to do with any big business in Fengxiang. This Dongfang Yat-sen just saw a business opportunity and wanted to acquire this workshop, so he just made a gesture here. It's really shameless, Ning Gongzi's face was gloomy, his lungs were angry, and he said in his heart that I am the ancestor of the Mengren, and today you came to Mengren, it is simply too hateful, and said angrily: "I hate the most clever people in my life, if you are really the owner of this sweet cloth, tomorrow you wear one, my Ning Gongzi kowtows and calls you father." If you can't wear it, you Dongfang Yixian crawled under my crotch and kowtowed to call me Dad, how about it?"
"Bastard, I'll kill you rebel. "Old Man Ning was so angry that he almost turned his back on it, he saw that Dongfang Yixian had been pressing, gentle and polite, not like his bastard son, he left room for words everywhere, and gave him the steps, who would have thought that this bastard thing made his own ** bag, is this the rhythm of going to the sky? His father is not dead yet? In front of Quan Fengxiang's businessman, he said such bastard words, and Dongfang Yixian called Dongfang Yixian, didn't he want to be angry with me?
Master Ning rushed up, and wanted to hit Ning Qiang, but Chu Yunpeng hurriedly grabbed him, glared at Ning Qiang and reprimanded: "Ning Qiang, look at your father's anger, Brother Yixian can't give you the steps yet, what do you want to do? โ
