Wang Xuannian smiled and said, "Lower your head a little." ”

Zhong Xuanlan raised his eyebrows, lowered his head obediently, and leaned in front of Wang Xuannian.

Wang Xuannian leaned into Zhong Xuanlan's ear and whispered, "I want Lan'er's gaze." ”

After saying that, he took a step back.

Zhong Xuanlan's heart trembled, and he raised his eyes to look at Wang Xuannian's eyes.

After a long time, he asked, "What is love?" ”

Wang Xuannian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and looked at the person in front of him helplessly, obviously a shrewd person, why didn't he even understand this?

With a sly look in his eyes, he said, "Lan'er, has my mood ever affected you?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan's eyes flashed with scenes of getting along with Wang Xuannian.

looked at Wang Xuannian suddenly, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

Compromise, she is compromising with him again and again.

In the blink of an eye, Zhong Xuanlan restrained his expression.

But what she didn't know was Wang Xuannian's reaction to capture her.

The corners of Wang Xuannian's mouth rose slightly, and he said, "Lan'er, let's go." ”

Zhong Xuanlan was stunned and said, "Okay." ”

After speaking, he led Wang Xuannian forward, but his heart was a little unnatural.

In the banquet hall, people come and go, gathering in groups to chat.

Zhong Xuanlan and Wang Xuannian walked in from outside, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

From time to time, someone came forward to greet Zhong Xuanlan, and she responded kindly.

"Master Zhong, yesterday was really calculating!"

Zhong Xuanlan squinted his eyes, raised his eyes to look at the person who came, and said with a busy smile: "Yo, this is not Liu Shao's house, fortunately, I don't know how Liu Shao's family will go home, I heard that Brother Ling is going to take over the business in the south of the city, just as the so-called tiger brothers, father and son soldiers, my Zhong family has another strong rival!" ”

When Liu Yuan heard this, he was shocked and angry, his face was a little ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then the big boss Zhong should wait for it!" ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded slightly.

An Hong, who was in charge of An Shao, came in from outside, and seeing that their atmosphere was not good, he pretended not to know anything and asked, "Zhong Da is in charge, Liu Shao is in charge, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Yuan glanced at An Hong, completely ignoring Zhong Xuanlan's face, and asked, "When did the An family form an alliance with the Zhong family, aren't the An family afraid of being calculated?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan saw An Hong looking at her, and smiled indifferently: "You talk, I'll sit down first." As he spoke, he led Wang Xuannian to the seat that belonged to them.

Wang Xuannian knew that the Lu family and the Zhong family were world friends, and the Lu family often had friction with the An family because of business matters.

A few days ago, there was a dispute over the price of food. said: "Lan'er, you have formed an alliance with the An family, but there seems to be some friction between the An family and the Lu family." ”

Zhong Xuanlan looked at Wang Xuannian and said: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." If something happens to the Zhong family one day, the person who can stretch out his hand will not be more than a slap, and it is a blessing not to take advantage of the fire to rob. ”

Wang Xuan frowned young, a little unbelieving, and when he remembered Zhong Xuanlan's words, he understood the word "interests".

Zhong Xuanlan didn't say anything, led him to sit down, and tasted tea.

From time to time, deal with people who come up to greet them.

After a stick of incense, the maids entered the hall with wine and food, shuttled in front of each table, and began to set up a banquet.

It didn't take long for the banquet to begin.

Master Lu sat in the first place, raised his glass and said, "Thank you for coming to your grandson's 100th birthday banquet today, and Lu Mou respects you here." ”

"Congratulations to Lu Da for getting a noble grandson, congratulations to the princess, and a concubine for having a noble son." Everyone raised their glasses in congratulations.

Lu Da said: "The wine and food are simple, please don't be contemptuous." ”

"Where, where."

After a set of polite words, Zhong Xuanlan glanced at the food on the table with disgust.

Wang Xuannian saw that Zhong Xuanlan didn't move his chopsticks, but just gave him grapes or snacks, and asked, "Can't Lan'er eat these meals?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "The imperial chef made a move, it could have been eaten, but unfortunately it was cold." You eat some snacks to cushion your stomach, and after the feast, we will go to the food restaurant to eat. ”

Wang Xuannian shook his head slightly and said, "Okay." ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "Little guy, carefully observe everyone's words and deeds, if you are invited to the banquet, you can deal with it freely." ”

Wang Xuannian tilted his head to look at Zhong Xuanlan and said, "Aren't they all with you to participate in the banquet?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan said with a smile: "There is a poetry meeting after the New Year, which is a grand event for scholars in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom. ”

Wang Xuannian was a little puzzled and said: "We are merchants, this poem seems to have nothing to do with us, right?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan's eyes were slightly cold, he looked elsewhere, and said: "But you are still the county master, you and I have been married for more than half a year, and everyone can't find me trouble, so they will find it from you." ”

Wang Xuannian was stunned and said, "Do you have to participate?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan saw Wang Xuannian's solemn expression, a little funny, nodded slightly, and said, "If Xiaofujun can take the first place, no one will dare to underestimate you in the future." ”

Wang Xuannian's eyes lit up, and after a while, his eyes dimmed, and he said, "But I don't know how to compose poetry." ”

Zhong Xuanlan raised his hand and squeezed his hand, and said, "You don't have to participate, you just need to be an audience." ”

Wang Xuannian nodded slightly, a little nervous in his heart, and decided to go back to learn poetry, whether it was too late or not, it was good to hug the Buddha's feet.

Zhong Xuanlan turned his head to look at him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he thought in his heart: Little guy, I am looking forward to your growth.

About an hour later, the banquet dispersed, and Zhong Xuanlan and Wang Xuannian went to the food building to eat before returning home.

As soon as he returned home, Uncle Zhong came to report the matter.

Zhong Xuanlan led Wang Xuannian to the Qingyou Courtyard while asking Uncle Zhong what was the matter.

Uncle Zhong responded: "There is a letter from the summer solstice. As he spoke, he took out the letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Zhong Xuanlan.

Zhong Xuanlan took the letter and didn't open it, but asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Uncle Zhong responded: "The palace New Year's ceremony has been prepared, please take a look at it." As he spoke, he handed the list to Zhong Xuanlan.

Zhong Xuanlan took the list and glanced at it, and ordered: "Reduce another 200,000 taels of silver, ten jars of Tusu wine, and remove the night pearl." Tomorrow I will be sent to the palace. ”

After speaking, he handed the list to Uncle Zhong.

At the same time, Wang Xuannian saw the list without saying anything, the 600,000 taels of silver, 30 jars of Tusu wine, 60 soft tobacco horses, and lynx fur......

Seeing that his family Lan'er didn't care at all, he should not be surprised.

Maybe it's been like this all year round!

Uncle Zhong received the order and said, "How to prepare for the New Year's gifts of each family?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan frowned slightly, glanced at Uncle Zhong, and said, "Is this matter in my hands?" ”

Uncle Zhong heard Zhong Xuanlan's displeased tone, but as a loyal subordinate, it is better to explain what he should say. said: "In previous years, the lord was in charge, but this year the lord has returned to the ancient city of Anzhou." ”

Zhong Xuanlan thought that she still had a lot of things to do, glanced at Wang Xuannian, and said with a smile: "The little guy will be yours this year." ”

Wang Xuannian immediately refused: "Lan'er, I won't." ”

Zhong Xuanlan directly ordered: "Uncle Zhong, you and Chunzhi assist Gongzi in handling things, and all affairs in the mansion are under the care of Gongzi." ”

"Yes."

Seeing Zhong Xuanlan's face that could not be refused, Uncle Zhong took the order to retreat, and hurriedly went to tell the people in the mansion to be more long-sighted, and they must listen to the words of the son, otherwise the mansion will definitely have to undergo a blood exchange.

After the people left, Wang Xuannian knew that human relations were very important to Zhongfu, and he was a little panicked in his heart, and said nervously in his eyes: "Lan'er, I don't understand this, what if something goes wrong?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan touched his head and said with trust in his eyes: "Didn't you say you wanted to help me?" Now I believe in you, just let it go, if you don't understand something, you can ask Uncle Zhong and Chun Zhi. The inner house is also a place of fighting, if anyone doesn't provoke you with long eyes, they can be dealt with directly, I don't mind replacing the Zhong Mansion with a new one. ”

Wang Xuannian was silent for a while, nodded slightly, and solemnly promised: "I will get things done." ”

If you want to know how Wang Xuannian is in charge of the affairs of the Zhong Mansion, please see the next breakdown.
