Chapter 874: Red Tape

Lan Qianzhen laughed dryly when he heard this, and at the same time he turned his face sideways towards Lan Ziyi, Lan Ziyi understood what his father meant, and immediately gave up his hand and said:

"The Son of Heaven decreed, does my father dare to hurry? The younger generation has long told his father that Zhang Shoufu cares about the world and will never abandon important things to go home

Rest, so my father and son came at the same time, just to greet Shousuke again. Just imagine, if Shousuke-sama were waiting for my father and son in front of this door, it would hurt your face as a scholar. “

Zhang Mingyue smiled when he heard this, and Lan Qianzhen thanked him:

"There is no way to discipline the thousand arrays, and I let the dog speak disrespectfully, please forgive me for offending the first assistant."

Zhang Mingyue said:

"The tiger son of the prince is heroic, and he can be described as a good successor, but I don't know if the ambition of Weihou is inherited on behalf of the prince."

Lan Qianzhen said:

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I have done my duty to raise him to become, as for what kind of person he becomes, that's his business."

Zhang Mingyue said:

"Daigong is so free-range, it's really open."

Lan Qianzhen stretched out his arms at this time and stretched out his inner door to Caofumen:

"Shousuke-sama, please."

Zhang Mingyue turned to Cao Fu, only looking at the long porch but had no intention of stepping, he said:

"The acting father and the Cao family are familiar with each other, but the Cao family is regarded as their own home, but I am not as good as the acting father, this is the first time to come, even if the acting father is the east for Cao Jinbao, it is not easy for me to go in."

Lan Qianzhen knew that he was rude, so he didn't say more, and he didn't go in by himself, so he stood side by side with Zhang Mingyue at the door. However, Cao Jinbao did not let Lan and Zhang wait too long, and soon after the two of them finished speaking, they saw Cao Jinbao appear on the other side of the porch. This Cao Jinbao did not come alone, there were a large number of servants around him, some holding incense, some holding wine and hot tea, and some holding copper basins and towels. A cadre of people waited for people to come together, only the four servants who walked in the front were the most conspicuous, they pushed the huge rollers in their hands, the wheels were wrapped in a crimson Western velvet carpet, and pushed them all the way from the porch to the gate, Cao Jinbao walked on the carpet, and then tied his collar when he left, and a few small servants next to him were still busy tying his hair and tidling crowns. Cao Jinbao and his entourage were busy working on the road, and they came to the door one after another, and they actually finished the matter when they arrived at the door. Under the leadership of Cao Jinbao, many servants knelt on the carpet with Cao Jinbao and kowtowed:

"Cao Jinbao, a grass citizen, knocks to see the acting father, knocks to see Zhang Zhongtang!"

Lan Qianzhen and Cao Jinbao are old acquaintances, he couldn't see Cao Jinbao kneeling, as if he opened his mouth to let him get up, but who knew that Zhang Mingyue rushed in front of him and said:

"I have heard for a long time that Boss Cao is the richest man in the world, and today I can see that he is really extraordinary, there are so many servants in the family and they are all so well-behaved, even my house can't compare."

Cao Jinbao knelt on the ground with five bodies, and hurriedly thanked Zhang Mingyue for his words:

"Zhongtang has said it, how dare the villain be compared with the Lord Zhongtang."

Cao Jinbao's sentence was originally unintentional, but Zhang Mingyue didn't open his mouth to be polite to him, only to hear Zhang Mingyue sneer:

"I also know that Boss Cao doesn't want to be compared with me, you see, when you came out, you walked all the way on the carpet, kneeling on the carpet, and I waited for the soles of the lower riba people from the poor countryside to stain the dust, so naturally I didn't dare to pollute your house."

As soon as Cao Jinbao heard this, he knew that he had done something bad by painting snakes, so he got up in a panic and walked forward for a long time, and did not come to the street until he knelt down again and thanked Zhang Mingyue under his feet, this time he kowtowed to Zhang Mingyue's shoes. Cao Jinbao kowtowed and said:

"The villain should be damned, the villain is rude, and the villain will remove the carpet."

Zhang Mingyue looked down at Cao Jinbao under his feet, and then smiled:

"You don't have to withdraw, this is also a piece of your filial piety, just let me a countryman see your rich and noble family. Get up. ”

Tao Zhutu, who was following Lan Ziyi, had already seen that Zhang Mingyue was unhappy, and then he whispered in Lan Ziyi's ear:

"This chapter of Mingyue is so powerful! Laughing at people like this in public. ”

Lan Ziyi didn't take Tao Zhutu's words as a private word, he explained to Tao Zhutu in an appropriate voice:

"Zhang Shoufu is not an official authority, it is a dismount authority, first hit a hundred kills, so that Boss Cao will be obedient."

Zhang Mingyue's thoughts were explained by Lan Ziyi, and he immediately looked back, and Lan Qianzhen saw Zhang Mingyue looking at his son and said:

"Tong Yan is unscrupulous, please forgive Shoufu."

Zhang Mingyue laughed and said:

"What a big child, it's really childlike!"

After saying that, Zhang Mingyue strode onto the red carpet and went to the mansion, regardless of Cao Jinbao beckoning the servants to come up and freshen up.

Lan Qianzhen looked at Zhang Mingyue's back and smiled, he came to Cao Jinbao's side and patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Boss Cao, it's also hard for you."

Cao Jinbao patted the dirt on his legs, the expression on his face was completely unchanged, he neither felt gloomy for Zhang Mingyue's humiliation just now, nor was he relieved that Lan Qianzhen was comforted now, he didn't ask Lan Qianzhen and Zhang Mingyue's purpose for coming here, he just said indifferently:

"I, a peddler's pawn, a ninth-rate, it is a great honor to greet the acting prince and the first assistant in person, how can there be any hardship."

Saying that, Cao Jinbao waved his hand and motioned for the servants to go back, and he gave his hand to greet Lan Qianzhen and Lan Ziyi:

"Acting Gong, Wei Hou, please!"

The group entered Cao's Mansion in this way, and entered the Caojia watchtower after bypassing the deep alley corridor. The servants of the Cao family led the way in front of the five steps and one sentry, and everyone was led all the way to the reception hall upstairs. As soon as he arrived at the door, Cao Jinbao was about to beckon everyone to take their seats, when Zhang Mingyue suddenly spoke.

"Boss Cao's house is very chic, and it is unique in this capital."

Cao Jinbao stepped forward and said with a smile:

"The courtyard of the capital is beautiful, exquisite, my house is built in the style of my hometown, where good wood is scarce, and there are more bricks and fewer trees to build a house. Why, Shousuke-sama doesn't like this house? ”

Zhang Mingyue said:

"Like it or not, it's all upstairs with you, what's the point of talking about it? It's just that today's wind and sun are beautiful, and here with the green onion river and willows, the beautiful scenery is outside and the wine is in the crowd, and the wine can be held in the chest, and it won't work. I see that the roof of Boss Cao's building is flat, and there must be a rooftop, so I think we should change to the rooftop to eat and talk. ”

Lan Qianzhen said at this time:

"Lord Shoufu doesn't like the brick building in the north, but I'm kind to no, these days I live in the Taixie building every day, sleep at night feel the bed light, as if to float up, today it's hard to see the hometown landscape, and can eat and drink in the watchtower, very happy. Look, my lord, there is a window inside, and the green river is outside the window, and it is also a good place to look out of the window here, I don't see that I need to change it, so let's talk about it here. ”

Cao Jinbao stood with his hands in his hands, watching Lan and Zhang fight, but Zhang Mingyue had no intention of fighting with Lan Qianzhen, he just smiled after getting Lan Qianzhen's words:

"Since Daigong likes it, then let's be here. Boss Cao, lead the way. ”

Cao Jinbao didn't dare to delay, and after getting Zhang Mingyue's order, he personally beckoned a few people to take a seat.

Cao Jinbao didn't prepare a big table today, just a small table for four people by the window, Zhang Mingyue and Lan Qianzhen finally fell to the upper seat after pushing and conceding, Lan Qianzhen sat westward, Lan Ziyi sat eastward, Cao Jinbao himself sat in the lower seat, several servants brought by Zhang Mingyue sat at another table in the same room, and Tao Zhutu was too lazy to stand behind Lan Qianzhen with them, and he didn't sit down to eat and drink.

The four of them sat down, drank a cup together, and after drinking, Zhang Mingyue asked Cao Jinbaodao:

"Boss Cao, do you know why I'm here today?" ntent
