The ancestral house of the Xie family is located on the long-sleeved street in the east of Liangcheng City, which is not a prosperous area, let alone the so-called "rich area". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, the entire Xie family is not a wealthy family in Liangcheng, not to mention that it is on a par with the Li family, the Wang family and the Qu family, and even the Xue family, where Xue Erye is located, can throw it off several streets.

Let's put it this way, at the Star Hall auction last night, there were so many heroes from Qingzhou, and the Xie family didn't get an invitation from the Star Palace.

This is where the gap between identity and status lies.

Although the Xie family has produced an elder of the Ling Jian Sect, whether in terms of fame or strength, he is more than half a step stronger than the Li family for several generations, but Xie Kun is obsessed with Dan Dao, does not ask about the world, and is not as good at running the family business as Li Hong, so the Xie family has not been able to reap any substantial benefits except for taking advantage of Xie Kun's reputation to open a few pharmacies in Liangcheng.

In terms of development, it is far inferior to the former No. 1 wealthy family in Liangcheng.

But that's all in the past.

Now the Li family has been wiped out.

And the Xie family is at least still standing.

It also belongs to the impermanence of the world, and everyone has his own life.

And don't look at the Xie family's small business, although it is not as strong as the Wang family who owns the Dongsheng Restaurant, the Qu family who monopolizes the rice and grain business, etc., but after all, there is some background, and the news is quite well-informed, at least I have heard of Luo Chuan's name, so after learning that this famous man in Liangcheng is about to visit tonight, he prepared a wine banquet in the main courtyard early.

In addition, the Xie family room also invited a few small families who are good friends with them on weekdays to accompany them.

"Hmph, to put it bluntly, then what Luo Medicine Master is just an outer disciple of the Ling Sword Sect, not to mention his status, even if it is the medicine path technique that he is most proud of, how can it be compared to my father?"

It was Xie Kun's son Xie Changzhi, who was also Xie Changjing's eldest brother, who was sitting on the main seat with a graceful and luxurious middle-aged woman at this time, looking at Xie Changjing in the distance with a sneer.

When the words fell, one of Xie Changzhi's concubines immediately echoed: "That's it, besides, this is not Ling Jian Sect, but Liangcheng! What if Xie Changjing's little rabbit cub wants a fox and a fake tiger, wait for Naluo Pharmacist to pat his ass on the front foot and leave, and we don't have the final say in the back foot!"

Xie Changzhi snorted coldly: "So tonight, I called Shopkeeper Chen, Boss Xu, and all of them, just to let Naluo Pharmacist know who is really in charge of the Xie family in this Liangcheng City!"

When the words fell, the middle-aged woman on the side said cautiously: "Having said that, we still have to entertain the guests when they come, and I don't know, how did I hear that the Li family's incident seems to have something to do with this Luo pharmacist?"

The old lady of the Xie family did not participate in tonight's banquet, and the entire Xie family naturally took this woman as the head.

After all, he is Xie Changzhi's mother.

At this time, hearing the worry between his mother's words, Xie Changjing waved his hand indifferently: "Mother, don't listen to people's nonsense, it must be a rumor in the market." The reason why the Li family suffered such a catastrophe must have violated the taboo of the Star Palace, but many people witnessed it with their own eyes that day, the Li family was personally exterminated by the Lord of the Palace, what can it have to do with an outer disciple of the Ling Sword Sect?"

The concubine on the side also nodded and said, "Yes, if it is really like the rumors outside, the Li family was wiped out by a teenage child, wouldn't it be laughed off the big teeth of the whole world?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman also felt that this was the truth, and her heart suddenly felt a little relieved.

Almost all of the people who are qualified to sit at the main table today are the shopkeepers and stewards of the major commercial houses in Liangcheng, and although they have not yet had a banquet at this time, they are chatting happily.

In contrast, Xie Changjing, as the second young master of the Xie family, was arranged by Xie Changzhi in the position closest to the door, and the people at the same table with him were all young men who worked for the Xie family's pharmacy.

This is still for the sake of Luo Chuan, who is about to come to visit, otherwise, I am afraid that Xie Changzhi will directly drive his younger brother off the dinner table and eat with the next people.

Xie Changjing's heart was like a mirror, knowing that this was the eldest brother deliberately humiliating himself and trying to embarrass himself in front of Senior Brother Luo, so at this time, his face was also pale, and the anger in his chest seemed to gush out at any time.

But even so, Xie Changjing has been trying hard to restrain himself, because he believes that Senior Brother Luo will definitely earn justice for himself.

Seeing that the time passed minute by minute, the night was slowly falling, and the so-called distinguished guests still did not arrive, several people in the Xie family's room suddenly looked impatient.

Xie Changzhi's concubine said even more in a weird manner: "Little brother Changjing, don't you deliberately shake us together, could it be that you plan to let these guests here see our Xie family's jokes?"

As soon as the words came out, even a few young men at the same table as Xie Changjing couldn't help but laugh: "Second Young Master, I think that Naluo Pharmacist may have something to do tonight, but he won't be able to come." ”

"It's a shame that the eldest young master put on such a big battle, and after a long time, it turned out to be an oolong!"

As he was talking, someone outside the courtyard suddenly shouted: "Rongsheng Buzhuang Yang shopkeeper is here for the banquet!"

Suddenly, there was a crowd at the door, and the person at the head was wearing a set of brightly colored fur clothes, with an extraordinary bearing, and at first glance he was from a big family.

Seeing this, Xie Changzhi quickly stood up and walked towards the door, his face full of surprise.

After all, in terms of financial resources and influence, Rongsheng Buzhuang's business is much bigger than the Xie family, originally Xie Changzhi also sent an invitation to the shopkeeper Yang with the attitude of giving it a try, and did not expect the other party to really be there, but he never thought that this shopkeeper Yang was kind and kind, and he gave face like this, how could Xie Changzhi not like it?

"Oh, I didn't expect the shopkeeper Yang to be so appreciative, and I bothered you to make a trip in person. ”

Shopkeeper Yang arched his hand to Xie Changzhi with a smile, and said: "Anyway, everyone is a business house in Liangcheng, and it is right to move around more, the Lantern Festival has just passed, since Brother Xie has a heart, Yang also just takes this opportunity to give you a good old age." ”

Xie Changzhi laughed and welcomed Shopkeeper Yang in, and said again and again: "Shopkeeper Yang is really polite, please come in, please come in." ”

Everyone in the Xie family also got up to say hello, Xie Changzhi asked the shopkeeper Yang to take the main table to sit, and then walked to Xie Changjing's side with a smile and looked at him coldly.

"Changjing, do you see? This is the real big man in our Liangcheng, as for your Senior Brother Luo, don't be temporarily stage frightened tonight, don't dare to come?"

A young man next to him also said: "Hehe, the second young master also said just now that after the Naluo pharmacist arrives, even if all these distinguished guests present are added together, it is not as good as him, the little one is really curious, could it be said that the pharmacist has been so scarce and noble these years?"

Xie Changjing frowned and said nothing, but he was extremely sure in his heart.

Senior Brother Luo will definitely come tonight!

Since the senior brother promised himself, he will definitely not break his promise!

Xie Changzhi regarded Xie Changjing's iron-green face as cowardice, and immediately patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "That's it, wait for your senior brother's time for half a pillar of incense, you can't wait for him not to come, let's just wait, I can afford to wait, these distinguished guests present can't afford to wait, after half a pillar of incense, if he doesn't come, we will have a banquet." ”

After speaking, Xie Changzhi didn't wait for his brother to respond, and directly turned around and walked towards the main table, the smile on his face became much brighter.

"Shopkeeper Yang, come, let me introduce to you, this is Shopkeeper Zhou of Changlai Inn, this is Boss Wang who is in the iron business in the south of the city, and this Steward Sun, but he is on duty in the Mercury Division of the Star Temple......"

The atmosphere at the main table was getting more and more lively, while on the other hand, Xie Changjing's side was getting more and more deserted, and even many of the subordinates next to him began to point fingers on the side, completely ignoring him, the second young master of the Xie family.

Seeing that the time for half a pillar of incense was approaching, Xie Changzhi was about to announce the opening of the banquet, but he heard another roll call outside the courtyard gate.

"Dongsheng Restaurant, Wang Da Shopkeeper is here for a banquet!"

When the words fell, everyone in the audience suddenly showed a shocked look, and the people in the Xie family's room looked at each other, the former was because the name of Dongsheng Restaurant was too loud, and the latter was a little puzzled, because tonight Xie Jia's banquet, Xie Changzhi did not invite people from Dongsheng Restaurant.

It's not because the Xie family looks down on Dongsheng Restaurant, but on the contrary, Xie Changzhi knows very well that he can't climb to others.

Sending invitations rashly can only add to the laughing stock.

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became a little strange, and after a while, Xie Changzhi stood up and quickly sorted out his clothes.

"Some time ago, I heard that Dongsheng Restaurant has a new medicinal food, maybe the shopkeeper Wang wants to take advantage of this to cooperate with my Xie family......

Thinking so in his heart, Xie Changzhi hurriedly walked to the gate of the courtyard, ready to welcome Wang Dongsheng's arrival, you must know that Dongsheng Restaurant and these people present are not of the same grade, even if it is Boss Yang of Rongsheng Cloth Village, he has to perform the junior ceremony when he sees Wang Dongsheng!

Where does Xie Changzhi dare to slack off?

As he spoke, he saw a middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament and a spring breeze on his face walking in, and before he entered the inner courtyard, his eyes showed a ray of essence, and he glanced at everyone in the field, and then looked at one place and smiled slightly.

The next moment, the shopkeeper Wang didn't care about Xie Changzhi, who was greeting him with a smile on his face, so he walked directly to the table closest to the door in a few big strides, and bowed respectfully to Xie Changjing, who was blue with a blue face.

"This should be Xie Changjing, Gongzi Xie, Wang Dongsheng in Xia Dongsheng Restaurant, I took the liberty to come this time, and I hope Gongzi Xie doesn't mind. ”

When the words fell, everyone in the audience was stupid, and the smile on the corner of Xie Changzhi's mouth was even stiffer, and he looked at Xie Changjing not far away in great surprise, as if he was watching the most ridiculous drama in history.

In this regard, Xie Changjing was also full of suspicion, and asked a little inappropriately: "Shopkeeper Wang?" are you...... Know me?"
