No matter what kind of business you operate, you will be more or less involved in the industry next to you. For example, if you want to make a new sugar, you have to use other condiments, such as honey. Therefore, the emperor and businessmen often used such gatherings to communicate with each other, and if cooperation could be reached, then both sides could benefit.

Shu Jin took the post and watched it, with the names of Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng written on it, and the time and place of the banquet were also written.

"Then Quan Jiayou also asked me to tell you that at the banquet the day after tomorrow, the lord of the Imperial Eunuch who is responsible for leading the imperial merchants to meet will attend." Ge Cunzhong added.

When Shu Jin heard this, he blinked and understood what Quan Jiayou meant.

The eunuchs and eunuchs of the Taifu and the Shaofu were in charge of things such as the economy, people's livelihood and appliance manufacturing, and the products of the imperial merchants also had many things like this, so the imperial eunuchs were their subordinate institutions.

The imperial merchants said that they were ordered to thank them, but if they didn't get along well with the people of the imperial eunuch, then the consequences would be very serious. Either he will not be eligible to run for the throne next year, or he will be left in trouble by the officials when the delivery is made. Therefore, Quan Jiayou specially instructed Ge Cunzhong, just to tell Shu Jin to prepare a gift to the imperial officials in advance, so as not to offend people.

For Quan Jiayou's kindness, Shu Jin naturally understood it. I had also considered these issues before I came, so I had already prepared Chai Yanfeng with something. Now that Chai Yanfeng is here, Shu Jin simply doesn't worry about these things, and he will naturally handle them properly for you if they are handed over to him.

After receiving the post, she informed Chai Yanfeng, and she no longer worried about this matter.

The ceremonial official invited by Yong Lao to teach Shu Jin and the others etiquette in the palace was a man in his forties. Although when people arrive at the palace, they wear a regular dress. It's just a round-necked, narrow-sleeved robe and a hood, but his movements at a glance look like he's wearing an official uniform or even a crown dress.

The ceremonial official claimed to be Tang Wei and faced Shu Jin. Even when facing King Yong, the saluting action is very standardized, but the attitude is definitely neither humble nor arrogant. Tang Wei didn't talk too much nonsense, and after saying hello, he directly asked to start teaching etiquette.

Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng are also indispensable. Yong Lao had just eaten Shu Jin's meal, and there was nothing wrong at the moment, so he let Tang Wei start.

Next, Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng, and even Ge Cunzhong and Ah Wudu, who needed to follow Shu Jin to attend various occasions, were all taught by Tang Wei.

Tang Wei is not fierce. However, if the action is not standardized, he lowered his eyelids and said coldly: Please the county lord (county horse, Ge guard. Five guards, business guards) again. And then he won't let you go until your movements are up to standard.

Shu Jin's memory is good, and he learns seriously. But it has to be corrected many times repeatedly. Shu Jin, who didn't think much, suddenly thought of Mama Rong in the pearl that he saw in his previous life.

If this Tang Wei is not a man. If he didn't have a calm face, but was just teaching seriously, he really seemed to be the old pious woman who was embarrassing Xiaoyanzi.

"Okay, that's what I'll teach today. Please rest early with the county lord, and we will start again early tomorrow. When it got dark, Tang Wei offered to end the teaching. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Yong Lao's voice had already come in.

"I said Tang boy, let's stop here today. The lonely king is hungry and wants my good granddaughter to cook for me. Let's continue tomorrow! ”

Tang Wei listened to this. Chong Shujin, who did not move, made a double standard salute, and then opened the door and left. When the door opened again, it was Yong Lao who came in. Shu Jin greeted him with a smile, and then naturally went to the kitchen to make a sacrifice to Yonglao to eat.

In the next two days, Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng spent the next two days in various etiquette. Tang Wei is not only very good at etiquette, but also very clear about the restrictions on the rank of officials and the color and texture of official uniforms, and when teaching etiquette, he does not forget to instill these things into Shu Jin and the others.

Fortunately, Shu Jin's mental strength is strong and he almost never forgets it, otherwise ordinary people will definitely faint to death by him.

What made Shu Jin very impressed was that Chai Yanfeng was also extremely serious in his studies, and then he even memorized everything, and when he made a mistake, Tang Wei corrected it once or twice, and he would be able to remember it. By the evening of the banquet where they were supposed to go to the imperial merchant gathering, the two had already learned the basics of what they had learned. Although Tang Wei's face was still serious, it could be seen that he was still very satisfied with his teaching results.

When Tang Wei said goodbye to King Yong and Shu Jin and left, he rarely praised Shu Jin and the others with King Yong, and listened to King Yong as if he was praising him, and rewarded Tang Wei fiercely.

By the time Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng arrived at the banquet venue of the imperial merchants with gifts, many people had already arrived. Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng found a quiet place to sit at random, and then one after another people gradually arrived.

This is a private mansion located in Chongrenfang, and the royal merchants who came were not a hundred but eighty. Shu Jin and the others only brought Ah Wu and Shang Qiang this time, and most of the imperial merchants next to them brought one or two domestic servants, and there were only three or four. And those imperial merchants who bring a lot of people usually rely on them. For example, Shu Jin saw Hong Ruifeng, who was only famous before and had not met.

Hong Ruifeng is a middle-aged man with a big belly, after hearing about his deeds of annexing the Lin family's sugar mill, Shu Jin thought that he should be a hateful guy, but he didn't expect that he actually had a pair of eyebrows and smiling eyes, and with his big belly, he was like Maitreya. His appearance was definitely pompous, one person in the lead, followed by his son Hong Nan, and behind, eight tall and mighty guards.

Just look at the pomp, how does it look like a businessman, and those who don't know think that the officials of that house are patrolling with people.

This banquet is one person per table, and it is placed in a "convex" shape.

Shu Jin had already seen Quan Jiayou, so he sat closer to Quan Jiayou. They chose the seat on the left hand side of the main seat, Chai Yanfeng sat at the head of Shu Jin, Quan Jiayou was at the head of Shu Jin, and Ah Wu Shangqiang was behind Shu Jin.

The main seat was empty at the moment, thinking that it was reserved for the official of the imperial eunuch, and Hong Ruifeng greeted people as he walked, and walked straight to the seat next to the main seat. Thinking of what I heard from others, this Hong Ruifeng took refuge in a certain official, looking at the appearance of no one in Hong Ruifeng's eyes, the rumors seem to be true.

All the merchants present were royal merchants, although most of them were men, but some were women, and some of them came with their families. Therefore, Shu Jin will definitely not be the only woman on the field, but not long after Hong Ruifeng sat down, Shu Jin suddenly keenly felt that someone was looking towards him. Shu Jin looked back with his feelings and saw Hong Ruifeng's Maitreya face. Originally, a smile became a crescent moon eye, but when I looked at it at this moment, I didn't smile, and it was a little ruthless.

Shu Jin just looked back indifferently, but Hong Ruifeng suddenly smiled, nodded slightly, and looked away. (To be continued......)
