Chapter 54: A Visit to the Tang Mansion
At this point, they had no other way than gambling, so after thanking Xiao Chuxuan and others for their help, Tang Han and Mei Niang went back to the town first. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since you have to gamble, of course, you have to do everything comprehensively, so these two people can't see each other for a while. People who even have the heart of martyrdom can't see each other for a few days, what about the pain of lovesickness. After complaining about each other's tenderness, the two separated and returned home.
The Tang family vowed to be the right person, and felt that people from Mei Niang's background were not qualified to step into the door of the Tang family, and resolutely opposed this marriage. They should have felt that Tang Han would accept his fate, and he would only accept his fate, so the Tang family rulers never thought that this weak and incompetent son, who had almost no temperament in their eyes, would rather die than give in, and even thought about martyrdom.
So after escaping from the house that day and returning home, and calling Master Tang a heavy punishment, Tang Han no longer mentioned the love with Mei Niang, which was reasonable in the eyes of his family.
After two or three days of silence, a group of merchants from the south of Kyoto suddenly came to Qingzhen, although these merchants were businessmen, but the nobleness that could not be concealed between the raised hands made people with a heart know at a glance that the merchants who went south must be ordinary business people.
It also happened that day, Master Tang asked someone to go to the teahouse to drink tea, but who knew that the purse on his body was touched easily. It was also thanks to the help of these southbound merchants that the purse stolen by the thieves was returned.
Merchants and customers help each other, and they should be thanked, not to mention that Tang Guoan can also be called a gentleman and businessman in Qingzhen, and this thank you is even more indispensable. At that moment, he invited a few people to eat tea in the teahouse, at first just to thank him, but who knew that after a few words, he also talked to these people.
After a few jokes, Tang Guoan learned that these businessmen were surnamed Xiao, and they wanted to negotiate a long-term deal for business. The four families in Kyoto, King Li of Xiaojiang, look at the people who go to the whole world to do business, I am afraid that everyone in front of them is also surnamed Xiao, and between the raised hands is really not the ordinary traders who are expensive, Tang Guoan has already pondered in his heart.
Preserved fruit.
Qingzhen happens to be rich in preserved fruits, and although his Tang family is already one of the top squires in Qingzhen, after all, it is still a head in business. Tang Guoan is also an ambitious master, the reason why he let his family suppress himself in the past was because he couldn't find someone who had the ability to cooperate, such as today's distinguished guest, he naturally felt that this was a good time to pressure others.
If the few young ladies surnamed Xiao are really the Xiao family in Kyoto that he guessed in his heart, then if this business is discussed, no one else in this Qingzhen can climb to the top of the Tang family.
Tang Guoan is a cunning businessman, so the abacus in his heart naturally sounds. At the moment, he was even more enthusiastic, and he even made friends with them, and even took the initiative to shake his head and invite them to live in the house temporarily.
If Tang Guoan is an old treacherous and cunning master, then Xiao Chusu can be regarded as a human spirit, what kind of calculation is Tang Guoan making in his heart Xiao Chusu doesn't know, after all, this abacus is what she deliberately let Tang Guoan dial. If you want the son of the Tang family to change his male style justifiably, this Tang Mansion deserves to enter, but he has already made such calculations, so after snatching back the purse for Tang Guoan by the way and talking to him by the way, Xiao Chusu seemed to have unintentionally revealed the purpose of the trip, as well as faintly revealing his identity, which attracted Tang Guoan's heart and took the initiative to invite them to the mansion as guests.
The old man of the Tang family took the initiative to invite, which was a matter of right for them. At that moment, Xiao Chuxuan and the others did not refuse, but smiled at Tang Guoan, and asked him to help introduce the Qingzhen preserved fruit businessman, and then invited him to temporarily enter the Tang Mansion.
Tang Mansion is a well-known squire in Qingzhen, this mansion is a chess style, although it has nothing to say with the Xiao family in Kyoto, it can be regarded as a luxury in the local area. invited a few people into the Tang Mansion, Tang Guoan instructed his subordinates to prepare guest rooms, and then invited a few people into the main hall.
The lord was in a very good mood today, and invited a few merchants from Kyoto to stay in the mansion, and this matter soon spread in the Tang Mansion. Although the maidservants of the family were busy with their work, it did not prevent them from chewing on new things in the mansion privately, and this matter was soon introduced to the Tang Han Courtyard.
After escaping that day and then returning to Xiao's mansion, he was scolded by his father, but although the scolding and blame were heavy, it was not to the point where he had to stay in bed to recuperate, so Tang Han had already done well in the past two or three days. After being taught a good body, he did not go out to find Mei Niang as before, but stayed in the courtyard peacefully, but also made the family mistakenly feel that he wanted to open it, knowing that Mei Niang was just a vulgar thing, and he couldn't enter the gate of the Tang family.
It's quiet but not noisy, and many times it's not about wanting to open, but waiting for something.
After reading a book in the courtyard from this day, I heard the maids whispering privately at the three ends of the day, thinking that I didn't find that the young master was reading a book behind the flower bed, and the two maids chatted with interest. Whispering laughter, with a bit of girlish shyness in her tone, the maid said with a smile.
"Have you heard that there are a few businessmen from Kyoto in our house today."
"A merchant in Kyoto? I've heard of this, and it's said that I met on the street, and it seems to help our master snatch back the purse that the thief stole it. In order to thank him, the lord invited those merchants to stay in the house. ”
"That's it."
"The lord is hospitable, if the businessmen who come and go to Qingzhen can chat with the lord, they are always invited to stay in the house for a few days. However, the merchants who lived in the past have never seen the lord treat him so kindly, but I listened to what I said before, and the lord specially advised him to prepare the rain garden and let a few merchants rest. What kind of style do you say are the merchants from Kyoto, and how can the lord be so hospitable and bother? ”
"What kind of pie is this businessman from Kyoto, how can we who are maids know, I don't know the pie, but these businessmen are ......" I don't know what to think of here, and the girl's mouth is even more ashamed. This sudden embarrassment made the other maid feel surprised, and asked urgently: "What's wrong with those merchants, you are talking." ”
"When I passed through the front yard, I happened to see some businessmen from Kyoto. How can there be such a fairy-like character in this world? How can you be born so good-looking? ”
"Good-looking? Are you saying that the merchant from Kyoto was born like a fairy? ”
"Exactly." nodded in response, and said: "The merchants in Kyoto are really not comparable to our small place, in the past, I felt that the young master was good-looking, and he was the best-looking person in the world." But when I saw the businessmen from Kyoto today, I realized what it means to be really good-looking. One by one, like a fairy, as if they came out of a painting, not only did they look good, but even the clothes they wore on their bodies. I can tell you, the eldest lady of the Liu family, the clothes she wears are not among the merchants invited by the old lady now, the maid next to the young lady is beautiful, and the clothes are worn on the body, just like the painting in the lady's room. ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, you can go up to the front hall and have a look."
"The painting in the lady's room, the beauty of the painting is already very good-looking, and the maids who serve these merchants are just like the painting in the lady's room. If the maids are so good-looking, then Miss Gongzi is really a fairy in the world. ”
"It's the immortals in the world, although I only glanced at it from a distance at the time, and I didn't dare to take a closer look, but these businessmen are really handsome, especially ......"
Although she chews the root of her tongue with her sisters in private, most of them usually have no character, but after all, the maid is a teenage girl's family, and she can't help but show shame on her face when she mentions those sons. This rising shyness immediately caused the sisters to sneer, and said with a smile: "You nickname hoof, but what shameless thoughts do you have to think about, when you mention those sons, you are ashamed, what's the matter?" Didn't you move your heart in spring. ”
As soon as these words came out, the girl was so anxious that she hit her with her hand, but after some laughter, she also quieted down, and then said softly: "What nonsense, we are the maid's life, how dare you move those thoughts." Not to mention that he is a young master from Kyoto, even the appearance of a fairy, it is not something we can think about. ”
"Yes!"
The two maids had been stealing here for a moment, and after saying this, the two maids left here with their companions. Waiting for the two of them to leave the garden, Tang Han walked out from where Fang Cai was sitting. The pestle stood there, his eyes walking in the direction of the main hall.
He naturally listened to the words of the maid's laughter, and he already knew in his heart that he had been quiet for the past two or three days, to be honest, he always had no bottom in his heart, and he always guessed whether the young lady who saved him on the road that day would go to the house, whether it would just trick them, and finally not enter the house to help. But after listening to the laughter of the two maids just now, Tang Han's worries in his heart finally dissipated.
Fairy-like figures.
His father invited a few fairy-like businessmen to rest in Xiao's Mansion.
And those people.
Isn't it a fairy-like figure.
Hearing that the family invited a few guests, and his father specially asked someone to prepare a listening Yuyuan to let a few guests rest, Tang Han also had a bottom in his heart. For these merchants from Kyoto, I think my father likes it very much, and he also has the intention of making friends, so if he arrives, he should also prepare.
After all, according to his father's temperament, it would not be long before the family who wanted to come to the front hall should also come here to invite himself to be discharged, and he saw those merchants from Kyoto outside.
Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, in the same way, knowing the father Mo Ruozi, what kind of temperamental person his father is, of course Tang Han knows.
I went back to the room to freshen up, and after a while, I saw the family in the front hall hurrying over, saying that the master invited the young master to go up to the front hall to meet a few businessmen from Kyoto.
After listening to Jiading's words, Tang Han just nodded in response, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, and then left his other courtyard with the little servant.
Whether he and Mei Niang can have a lover and finally become a family depends on this time.
When Tang Han and the little servant arrived in the front hall, before anyone entered, Tang Han heard his father's hearty laughter in the front hall. Just listening to this laughter, I knew that my father was in a very good mood and wanted to come and have a good chat with those merchants. Smelling his father's hearty smile, Tang Han's uneasy heart settled down a lot, and he exhaled slightly, and Tang Han walked in.
Sure enough, as soon as he stepped in, he saw his father talking with a few people in the main hall. Xiao Chu's business skills are even amazed by the heads of the other three families in Kyoto, if he mentions business matters, he should have chatted happily with Tang Guoan, not only chatting happily, but even repeatedly making Tang Guoan look surprised. In my heart, I was even more determined that the young lady surnamed Xiao in front of me was probably the Xiao family in Kyoto, and I was even more determined that I must negotiate this long-term deal with them.
In business, Xiao Chu is more than enough, as for the side? As long as there are no bad ideas in their hearts, the two brothers Chu Heng and Chu Rui still know how to please people. Especially Chu Heng, that mouth is even better at this, and it doesn't take a moment to praise the Tang Mansion inside and out. And it was praised secretly and secretly, without any flattery, which made Tang Guoan feel very good.
But it's okay to chat, my heart is already refreshing, and I feel that the dragon and phoenix in such a person should be introduced to their own bastards, and they may be able to help each other in the future.
When they were talking, they also ordered the little maid to invite the young master in, because Tang Guoan said that there was still a blunt son in the family, so several of them also had the intention of making friends. After waiting for a long time but still not seeing the son of the Tang family come out, Chu Heng smiled at the moment.
"Master Tang, isn't it a coincidence, Gongzi Tang went out to do business for Master Tang today, so he is not in the house?"
"Xiao Sangongzi said that he laughed, how can that fool in my family have this ability, I will snicker if he doesn't trouble me, how can I expect him to share the difficulties in business for me."
"Master Tang, I'm afraid it's just a joke." Smiling and saluting, Xiao Chuheng said: "Master Tang is extraordinary, he talks elegantly, and his skills in this business are even more first-class, even if Tang Gongzi is not true, there is a three-point and four-point that can be compared with ordinary people such as me." inherited the ability of Master Tang for three or four points, and the things in the mall should be more than enough, how can you not share the worries of Master Tang. Could it be that Master Tang is too demanding, so he feels that Tang Gongzi is stupid. ”
The words that are pleasing to the ear are the most comfortable, not as good as a temperamental person, these words can make it pleasant, and the smile on Tang Guoan's face became heavier at the moment, and the smile should be said: "Xiao Sangongzi is serious, how can I have the ability to say what the son said, but just do some small business and support my family." But a few sons are the dragons and phoenixes among the people, and they went south from Kyoto to negotiate business, don't say that my family is a fool, it's me, and I don't have such skills. ”
"Master Tang doesn't have this ability, but he is content with Qingyou, he doesn't have such ambitions, if Master Tang is willing, he wants to come to this business all the way to Kyoto for only a few years."
"Hahaha, Xiao Sangongzi praised it falsely, praised it falsely." He smiled at his eyebrows, and sighed Xiao Chuheng's ridiculous words, how could he have that ability, and the son of the Tang family, who ordered the little servant to invite him, stepped into the main hall and came to the front of the people.
Dressed in green clothes, he still looks like a weak scholar, because he heard that several businessmen were invited to the house, so the first thing he did when he entered the hall was to confirm that the few businessmen who entered the house were the benefactors who saved him and Mei Niang that day. I forgot to salute, but looked first, after sweeping the people sitting in the hall, the last trace of uneasiness on the tip of my heart can be regarded as stable.
