Chapter 95: The Feast of the Hongmen
July 15, Lingshan Pharmacy.
That dog just had breakfast at noon and came to Lingshan Pharmacy, and made a special trip to send Ma Liu's invitation sticker, it turned out that Ma Liu "knew it" twice in Lindaofang to make trouble, causing considerable losses to Lingshan Pharmacy, so I wanted to hold a banquet in the largest restaurant in Linlongfang in Xicheng at night, on the one hand, apologize for Zhu Gui and Zhu Boss, resolve the misunderstanding, on the other hand, introduce Zhu Gui to know a few bigwigs who specialize in the business of medicinal materials, and everyone will live in harmony and make a fortune together in the future.
As soon as Zhu Gui saw the invitation, he immediately said that he would definitely go to the appointment. The dog also seemed to be a different person, and thanked Zhu Gui for his kindness and thanked him for taking care of his parents and brother and sister-in-law. That Zhu Gui also counted a few words about the dog, and the dog was submissive, saying that he wanted to be a new person and would never dare to do anything wrong again.
After the dog left, Zhu Gui went to the back yard to find "Wuji", and "Wuji" and Qiuming sat down on the stone bench in the backyard to discuss the matter. What kind of medicine is sold in this Ma Liu gourd, think about Ma Liu's two strong uses, the loss will be broken, how can you give up, this trip must be full of dangers.
Zhu Gui said: "It's to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I also want to break through, we can't be trapped in this Lindao Fang, besides, this is also an opportunity to get to know the big man of medicinal materials." ”
"Mowgli" said: "I still have to go, but how can Ma Liu sincerely apologize to us, I'm afraid that the weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting---- didn't have a good heart, safety still has to be considered, so let's do it, the safety on the scene is managed by Tyumen, and the safety on the road is managed by me." ”
At that moment, Zhu Gui went to prepare for the meeting, and the three of them made relevant preparations.
Just after the unitary time, Zhu Gui took his partner "Tyuming" to Linlongfang in the west of the city. Here is a few blocks away from Linlingfang, when Zhu Gui's carriage walked to the Qinlong Restaurant, he saw that it was not lively outside the door, there were a few people from other places playing acrobatics there, there were a few beggars on the east side of the door, one of them had a pig's waist face, and from time to time told a few little beggars the story of hunting for beauty, provoking passers-by to stop. Zhu Gui sent Qiu Ming to give some money to those beggars, and the beggars left happily.
Na Ma Liu and the dog waited in front of the door early, and when they saw Zhu Gui's car coming, the dog quickly led the horse, and after Zhu Gui and Tyumen got off, they led the carriage to the side door to feed the horse with good feed.
Na Ma Liu hurriedly ran up, stretched out his hand to help Zhu Gui out of the car while greeting, and then trotted Zhu Gui and Qiuming into the restaurant, and let Zhu Gui Qiuming into a private room called "Guan Shanyue" on the west side of the second floor. There were already a few strange-looking middle-aged people waiting outside, and when they saw Zhu Gui coming in, they all stood up together, welcomed Zhu Gui in, and invited him to the upper seat. ”
When Zhu Gui heard this, he insisted on asking an elderly man next to him to sit down, and that person said the same thing, after a few times, Zhu Gui no longer shirked and sat down, Ma Liu asked Qiu Ming to sit again, but Qiu Ming insisted on refusing to sit. Helplessly, I asked all the bigwigs to take a seat one by one.
That Ma Liuben introduced several local bigwigs one by one, one of them was the boss of Longzhou pharmaceutical merchant Ji Junli Ji, second, Jiang Lianshan Jiang boss of Qinzhou Pharmacy, third, Wei He, a famous doctor in Qinzhou, fourth, President Qiao Liminqiao, president of Qinzhou Medicinal Materials Chamber of Commerce, and fifth, there was also a cow catcher in Qinzhou Prefecture, which had met before, and the last one was Master Chen Shishun Chen, the state capital. Everyone said kind words to each other, and then they all took their seats.
Hagou then ordered people to fill everyone with wine, and Ma Liu stood up and said: "Everyone, just because Ma Liu was negligent, the subordinate wiring harness is not effective, which has caused a lot of impact on Boss Zhu's business, Boss Zhu is benevolent and righteous, repeatedly helped, and repaid grievances with virtue, Ma Liu is deeply ashamed, and tonight I specially invited several virtuous people to accompany me, apologize for Boss Zhu, and hope that Boss Zhu will accept the apology regardless of his previous suspicions!"
Several others also raised their wine glasses, some said that Boss Zhu was young and old, and he would definitely make a fortune in the future, some said that Boss Zhu gave free medicine, and his good deeds of helping the weak and the poor made people embarrassed, and some said that Boss Zhu had rich family resources, was good at control, and his business was thriving, and he hoped to give advice.
When Zhu Gui saw that everyone stood up, he also stood up, picked up his wine glass, and said unhurriedly: "Zhu Gui is stupid, he first came to Guibaodi, he should have visited all the virtuous people in time to seek protection, only with the courage of blood and blood to operate, it is really a newborn calf, I don't know the depth, it is my own rude first, Lao Ma boss recommended for himself, I am really ashamed, in fact, I should apologize to Ma boss." ”
When Ma Liu heard this, he said: "It's really not a fight and don't know each other, it's better now, everyone drinks this cup, and from then on turn the war into jade, what is the jade, anyway, in the future, everyone will work together, and everyone will make money together! As soon as he cocked his neck and grunted, a glass of wine was poured down.
They responded, and drank the wine together. Zhu Gui was just about to drink the wine, but he had already heard Qiuming cough behind him, so he stopped the wine glass, and Qiuming reached out and pulled out a silver needle from his sideburns, and tried it in the wine, the silver needle did not change color, indicating that the wine was not poisonous. The people around looked at Zhu Gui with a surprised look, Zhu Gui laughed, and said to Qiu Ming: "Boss Ma has always been upright, how can he poison the wine, you are too worried." He threw up his neck and drank the wine with a grunt. Na Ma Liu also laughed, so he called Xiao Er in, let him come in with a pot of wine, tore off the seal, and let Qiu Ming try it with a silver needle, and there was no sign of poisoning, so he said: "When you come down, Zhu Laiban will only drink this pot." ”
Then Zhu Gui still had to excuse himself, and the rest of the people also strongly persuaded him to come according to Ma Liu's arrangement, there was no problem.
Next, everyone toasted one by one, and within half an hour, everyone was a little drunk.
At this time, Zhu Guizheng wanted to leave the table under the pretext of excuse, but heard Na Ma Liu say: "What does it mean to just drink, it is better to call Qin Yan to sing it." "Everyone else said that Qin Yan was afraid that she wouldn't be able to invite her, and I heard that she had a hot fight with Taishou recently.
The dog said: "It just so happens that there is a new kid here in the sixth master, who is very good at sword dancing, and the sword dance is so good, even Chang'e in the moon is ashamed of himself." ”
As soon as he heard this, everyone became interested, Zhu Gui thought to himself, since ancient times, there has been no good banquet, and today I am afraid that it will be a Hongmen banquet, so he said: "The banquet is a peaceful place, and the sword and sword shadow are not good." ”
Na Ma Liu said: "Boss Zhu doesn't know, this kid's sword dance has no killing aura, it is purely a peaceful scene, and it is indeed worth seeing." Just that look, even Chang'e in the moon will be jealous. ”
Zhu Gui knew that it would not work to push it, after all, this banquet was set up by others, no matter what, let's take a look and talk about it. So he nodded in response.
