Besides, he shook his arm and said righteously: "Big brother, I'm helping you, don't you know?"

"Are you scolding me or helping me?" said Wu Chenghou puzzled.

"Isn't it a day or two that the old lady is angry with you, and she has been saved in her stomach, maybe one day she will burst out and settle accounts with you, and you can stand it? Besides, the old lady is angry in her heart, and she will get sick after a long time, isn't that your business again? Now that I scold you and get angry, my mother will be happy, and your mess will be written off, isn't this a double win?" and explained.

Wucheng Hou touched his head, thought for a while, and said, "Well, what you said seems to make sense. But tell me first. ”

"How can I tell you? This matter has to be improvised, if our brothers collude, you think the old lady will not be able to see it. Wouldn't it be even worse if you saw through it? Besides.

"Well, yes, that's right. Wucheng Hou nodded frequently.

Not far away, the Marquise was talking to Xiao Nier, smiling at the negotiation between the two brothers.

"I really didn't expect him to suffer like that. The Marquise sighed.

"He has suffered a lot, and this is nothing, but he has never said or shown his suffering, and it is all pressed in his heart. Xiao Nier sighed too.

She was referring to the fact that she felt guilty every day because of Zuo Ling's incident, but she couldn't tell anyone, so she could only endure the torture of her soul. Every time she saw it in her eyes, it was also painful in her heart, but she couldn't help him eliminate it.

"That's what the old lady said, you don't have to pay too much attention to it. In the final analysis, the old lady is still the most distressed about the second uncle, and she will not rest assured without you serving him. The second uncle is dependent on you, and everyone can see it. "The Marquise is talking about the fact that the Grand Lady wants to keep Xiao Nier by her side.

Xiao Nier snorted, she also knew that Mrs. Tai would not really detain her in the mansion, Mrs. Tai wanted to see not her.

Besides, he was discussing with Wu Cheng Hou about running an auction house, and Wu Cheng Hou listened carefully. Besides, it means that he wants the Marquis of Wucheng to bring in all the sons and daughters of the prince he has befriended, or buy shares, or pay money to become members.

The children of these princes and nobles were originally big buyers of calligraphy and painting collections, and by pulling them in, they occupied a large part of the market. Besides, he is also going to go to the British Duchess and ask the British Duchess to help him pull people.

Wu Chenghou listened to it and explained for a long time, but he still didn't understand what was going on with this auction house, and he didn't bother to think about it, anyway, let him pull people, and it was a big deal to pull all the colleagues from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies over, what to do It was a matter of what.

Moreover, when he returned to his mansion with Xiao Nier, a housekeeper was already waiting at the door of the inner house, handing him a bill, which listed the cost of the renovation and decoration of the house he sold, as well as the list of beds, tables and chairs, and various antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and even all kinds of utensils.

This is not for him to reimburse, but he must review it, sign it and take it to the chief housekeeper for write-off, and the expenses will be recorded in the accounts of the second room.

Besides, he nodded, took a pen from the butler and signed his name.

He still doesn't know how much money the government has allocated to his second room every year, and it seems that it will not be less. He didn't care much about it, anyway, it was still in the Marquis's Mansion in the end, and he used it now, and he wouldn't take away a single item.

In a blink of an eye, it has come to the day of Tang Bohu's marriage.

On that day, I took Xiao Nier to Tang Bohu's new house to watch, but I saw that all kinds of work to welcome relatives here were ready.

More than a dozen trumpeters blushed and practiced vigorously, and firecrackers were also placed in bundles in front of the gate and the second gate, and there were special personnel in charge of all affairs.

Moreover, looking at the few people who played the trumpet, he had a feeling that he had not seen it for a long time, he had never seen it in his previous life, but he had only seen it in the movie, and this custom had slowly faded away, and only some areas still maintained this ancient tradition.

But this was a very high-end and serious band at the time, and all weddings and funerals could not be separated from the performance of these ancient instruments. As for the elegant musical instruments such as the chime, they are used exclusively for temples, temple sacrifices or celebrations, and there is no trace of them among the people.

Tang Bohu was wearing a big red groom outfit and a big red flower on his chest, and he wanted to laugh when he looked at it, how did he feel a little stupid.

"What are you laughing at, isn't it all your kid who made trouble?" Tang Bohu himself felt embarrassed, he was at this age, and being a groom was indeed not very elegant.

"If you get cheap and sell well, right? Why don't you take it off and don't marry?"

"No, it's just that I haven't been married for too long, and I'm a little uncomfortable. ”

Tang Bohu himself smiled bitterly, although the days when he accepted Yuchan as a concubine were not long, but it was just a concubine, there was no ceremony, just inviting relatives and friends to drink. Today is completely different, a full set of marriage ceremonies, not a single step is bad.

"You say it's good, people won't see through it, right? Shen Zhou still had a worried face.

"What if you see through it, you shouldn't care about Tianfu, can others manage it?"

In the courtyard stood several officials and servants who were appointed to the yamen, both from the town and from the court.

Lian Daning naturally would not attend this kind of occasion, and he was afraid that something unexpected would happen, so he could only send his subordinates and officials to help maintain it. These people naturally want to please their new bosses, and they are very hard-working, and they don't treat themselves as guests at all.

Shen Zhou looked at these people who were under inspection with his eyes, and he was relieved, but he was also a little more afraid of his audacity.

Moreover, it is very different from Shen Zhou's idea, he thinks that as long as both men and women are willing and do not hide the man's family, this matter is not a big problem. There used to be an old genius in Wuzhong, who held a wedding with his wife every year to highlight the deep love between his husband and wife, and he also regarded himself as a "talented man", but he was scolded by a new talent, saying that he didn't know what a romantic relationship was. Besides, I feel that these talented people actually don't understand the word romance, and romance has nothing to do with sex and beauty, otherwise would the eternal romantic figures in history have to marry every day? In that case, they will be tired to death.

"Brother Guo, are you going to play like this next month?" Wen Zhengming walked over and said expressionlessly.

Besides, he jumped up as if he had been trampled on: "Hey, how can you talk, I'm getting married, the first time, the most important thing in life, how can it be said to be fun?"

"That's it, I said Zhengming, your cynicism is too much. Tang Bohu was not happy with Wen Zhengming's arrangement.

Besides, the big wedding is fun, so what is it for him to marry Qiu Xiang? Although he feels that he is a little old, he still thinks that this marriage is more important than the last time, how can he use words to blaspheme?!

"Silver ticket. Wen Zhengming didn't defend either, and stretched out his hand directly.

Besides, he had no choice but to take out three silver tickets and pay them to the three of them: "Let's say first, I must come up with works of equal value to the silver tickets within three years." ”

Wen Zhengming didn't say a word, put the silver ticket in a purse embroidered with gold thread, and then stuffed it back into the front of his corset.

Shen Zhou pondered for a moment, took the silver ticket, stuffed it into his sleeve at will, and arched his hand towards the situation.

"Do you want to sign a note?" Wen Zhengming asked.

"Can we not be so vulgar?"

Besides, I don't know how the relationship between Wen Zhengming and Tang Bohu has recovered, on the surface, it looks okay, but as for the mustard, I'm afraid it will be difficult to eliminate it for a while. However, he and Wen Zhengming still don't talk to each other, and anyone who sees them feels unpleasant.

Hearing him say this, Tang Bohu and Shen Zhou were silent.

Tang Bohu has been busy chasing Qiu Xiang for more than a year, and basically has no intention of making money, or the last time he compared the painting, the Zhou family divided the reward between them equally, and got a windfall, which can be regarded as solving the problem of daily life.

But Na Yuchan is too extravagant for the concubine scene, and the money on hand is almost spent, although the dowry brought by Yuchan is worth a lot, but it can only be used in the family in Suzhou, he is embarrassed to use Yuchan's dowry to marry Qiuxiang, which is too much to say, so this time he really used the old money he had saved for many years, and then he faced the pressure of supporting two families, and this 10,000 taels of silver tickets is really a charcoal in the snow.

Shen Zhou didn't think so much, he just wanted to buy another house here, and live next to Tang Bohu, in addition, he had a good relationship with Lian Daning, and often helped the yamen to do something, Lian Daning rose to Nanjing, and he often traveled between Suzhou and Nanjing, either a guest house or a monk's temple, although there was nothing inconvenient, he still felt that he also had a home here.

Wen Zhengming is actually a different eye, because he spared Yuchan once, and fulfilled her long-cherished wish, which made Wen Zhengming grateful and admired, and sometimes he wanted to say something to enhance his relationship, but even he didn't feel it was a taste when he said it. What is the reason for this, even he himself can't say, but it's definitely not that literati are light, probably because the fate is wrong.

"You kid really has a good idea, and you monopolized the calligraphy and painting of these three people all at once, thanks to the fact that you are not dedicated to business, otherwise there would be nothing to do in our family. Zhou Dingcheng watched him pay the three people the silver tickets, and muttered behind his back.

Besides, he had already told him about opening an auction house, and he didn't understand how this method could make money after thinking about it for a long time, which couldn't be compared with Weng Yanling and Sun Guangshao's trading. When the calligraphy and painting shop encounters a seller who does not know the goods, as long as he finds a treasure, he can sit and eat it for a few years.

However, he saw that he had bought out the works of Tang Bohu and the three of them for at least three years at once, and he seemed to have some aftertaste, this guy simply raised prices to suppress those calligraphy and painting houses, and slowly, naturally everyone was willing to deal with his auction houses, and the business of those calligraphy and painting houses would naturally slow down.

In the art of war, it is a roundabout outflanking method and heavy clicking.

This is competition, defeating the opponent invisibly. This move is a bit of a loss, but how can there be a business that does not harm others and benefit himself? Not to mention that he has also taken a certain amount of risk, and the people who cooperate with him will not suffer a loss.
