Chapter Forty-Eight: Treasures Are Inseparable

"Something's wrong?" Pan Xuezhong's heart sank. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Does anyone dare to make trouble?

If you want to say that someone came to play hooligans and make trouble, Pan Xuezhong didn't believe it.

Because, his Pan family is a wealthy family in Ningbo Mansion, and his Pan family is a real "underworld"!

Therefore, Pan Xuezhong is not in a hurry. After patiently comforting the fat man in brocade, the "second middle school boy", he followed the family unhurriedly.

I saw seven or eight richly dressed businessmen talking around the three servants of the Pan family.

"Hmph, dog! Why don't you let me wait in? But I'm afraid that I'll miss your Pan family's silver? A middle-aged fat man loudly questioned a few Pan family servants.

Pan Xuezhong squeezed in separately from the crowd, and at a glance, he realized that these people were basically acquaintances of the Pan family. For several generations, the Pan family maritime merchants have spread out in Ningbo Mansion, traveled to the sea, and there are many wealthy businessmen who have interacted with each other.

This era is not like the later generations, there are many outsiders. In the Ming Dynasty, if there was a city, every street and alley was a neighborhood that lived for several generations. It's not like in later generations, when people on the first floor didn't know each other.

"Uncles! The servants are ignorant, there are many slackness, there are many slackness! If you have any advice, you will be told! Pan Xuezhong bowed his hand and saluted.

"Oh! Virtuous nephews know that we are all friends of your house, how could we have been rejected by such evil servants? The middle-aged fat man glanced at the obstructing servant and said angrily to Pan Xuezhong.

When Pan Xuezhong heard this, his face was full of wry smiles, and he took out the words that fooled a few readers before. A businessman finally calmed down a little, so accompanied by Pan Xuezhong, he went to the viewing area on the other side to sit and wait.

Tossed like this several times, and invited several scholars and businessmen who came behind him into the viewing area to sit down, Pan Xuezhong was a little calmer.

At this time, the servant who was waiting in front hurriedly came to report: "Young master, Lord Prefect, Lord Tongju is here!" ”

When Pan Xuezhong heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned to Yale Curie to ask his father and uncle to go out to greet him.

A group of high-ranking officials of Ningbo Prefecture, senior officials of the imperial court, and senior Jinshi people, a total of about a dozen people, began to arrive one after another.

Pan Xuezhong's uncle is also a Jinshi, and now he is the Tongzhi of Ningbo Prefecture. Because the family is rich, they are working around recently, and it is rumored that they are expected to be transferred to Hangzhou as an official. With his reception, all the guests felt very glorious.

And this reception method is also very novel, the guests will walk through the long red carpet under the observation of the "melon-eating masses" around them. This feeling of walking by in the gaze of everyone really brings the most comfortable sense of accomplishment to everyone.

This "poetry tasting" has been made extremely high-end and high-grade. After everyone entered, Father Pan first came to invite the guests to sit down for a drink.

Wine is a mellow wine produced in the Western Regions. The cup is a crystal clear glass!

The glass, even if it is the best, will only cost more than 20 yuan a piece in the store in later generations. However, in this era, it is a rare existence.

Everyone followed the example of Pan's father, shook the glass lightly, and watched the red wine gently sway in the glass, feeling as wonderful as being a groom!

Drinking grape wine, admiring exquisite glass products and treasure mirrors, everyone can't help but feel poetry! Immediately, several people chanted a few beautiful and exquisite poems, and Pan's father immediately invited everyone to write them down and hand them over to the red card girls waiting in the back hall to learn to sing.

After everyone finished tasting, the uncle of the Pan family invited everyone to continue to sit down and feast.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the red card girls took turns to come out and chant the poems that everyone had just written.

There are Huazhang handed down, singing for the red card girl, life is like this, isn't it happy?

After the women sang, they served at the table and poured wine for the poet. There are beautiful women, and the interest of a group of people is even higher, and there are good sentences from time to time.

Yale Ju, a moment of laughter, is exactly "talking and laughing, there is no white ding"!

When everyone was almost full, Pan's father came to the display stage again and asked all the officials and dignitaries to comment on the poems sung by the girls, saying that the top three girls in the Pan family would definitely give heavy gifts.

Everyone exchanged their heads and discussed each other, just like the judges on the talent show in later generations, arguing for a while, and only then did they select three to be in the forefront. They are: Qiong Yao, Tonghua, and Zhaowei.

When the three girls heard this, they were all very happy.

Later, an award ceremony was held, and the prefect of Ningbo Prefecture, Tongzhi, and a Zhishi official presented awards to the three girls. This draws on the tricks of later competitions, so that both the awarders and the winners feel extremely honored.

The girl Qiong Yao, who won the first place, got a beautiful treasure mirror. When she got her hands on it, she was almost stunned, because she saw herself clearly in the mirror, and every strand of hair saw the real thing.

With such a treasure in hand, Qiong Yao's face turned red with surprise. I can't help but look back and forth in the mirror, and I can't put it down.

The other two girls had an expression of envy, jealousy and hatred. Such a childlike state caused everyone to laugh again!

The other two girls got two pieces of glass, and when they got them, they were also very surprised. Both of them are red cards in the Spring Building, and they are well-informed, how can they not know that this is a valuable thing. Even the guests who came to the meeting were quite rare for these prizes, but they were not easy to show for the sake of face.

The uncle of the Pan family asked everyone to select three poetry winners, and after several comments, the prefect was the most agreed, and the poetry of Hangzhou Mansion, who returned to his hometown and province, was the most exquisite.

This time, Pan's father was even more atmospheric, and he sent a treasure mirror respectively. Everyone was envious in their hearts, and they were praised again!

Pan's father did not disappoint the others, and ordered Pan Xuezhong to come up to meet the seniors and old friends one by one, and give each of the others a glass cup.

Everyone was happy in their hearts and praised Pan Xuezhong without hesitation. Pan Xuezhong knew that his father wanted to elevate himself, so he behaved very politely, and his words and deeds were extremely elegant and thoughtful.

The ancients attached great importance to the eldest son and often cultivated it as a family heirloom, and on occasions like this, the eldest son should have been present. However, this matter was handled by Pan Xuezhong, so this limelight can only be done by him.

This is not a regular meeting of a later generation of institutions, or a reception of a company, for the younger generations of a family, from a certain point of view, it is almost a declaration of establishing him as the future head of the family.

The three girls, Qiong Yao, Tonghua, and Zhaowei, looked at the handsome and elegant Pan Xuezhong, and also came forward to salute them one by one with a coquettish face, wanting to attract his attention.

Such a good man with such a talented family, if he can accompany him, it will be a blessing in life! The three beauties secretly agreed, and their cheeks were slightly red......

However, some of the guests who attended the meeting were worried: although this treasure was good, there was only one treasure. When I go home this time, I really don't know who to give it to. These old men are all three wives and four concubines, how do you let them do favoritism?

Of course, this is really the case, after everyone brought it home, it was really a treasure that was inseparable, and there were countless jealous jokes.

If there is a stupid director in the future, I think I can shoot countless palace fighting dramas. However, you really can't underestimate the palace fighting drama, that is also a battle of wits and courage! It's not the things that people are fighting for, it's the heart of the master!

When everyone was embarrassed, Pan's father came out again and announced that an exhibition would be held in Zhenhai Building the next day, and today's guests could buy one for free.

Yes, it's the entrance fee, but not everyone can be eligible to buy it, you have to pay ten taels of silver first, and it won't be refunded.

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief. But when they sent someone to Zhenhai Tower to buy it the next day, the news that came back made them dumbfounded!

Because the gift they got was sold for more than a few hundred taels, and those who didn't draw lots couldn't buy it. There were even people who paid a few hundred taels of silver to buy their shopping qualifications. It's crazy!

Of course, this makes everyone wait for them today.
