Chapter 250: Pie in the Sky?
Luoyang, Liufu.
Early in the morning, the rooster had just crowed twice, and the housekeeper ran from the front yard out of breathγγγγγ Sir,"
The old man of the Liu family frowned and reprimanded: "Early in the morning, what is there that makes you anxious like this?" β
This housekeeper is obviously only a little distance from the front yard to the back yard, and it is not Tai Chi Palace, but he is actually tired and a little panting, which shows that he is in a hurry to run.
"Master, by... Greetings. β
"Please? Whose worship stickers make you anxious like this, can the king of heaven come here? Just talking to see the material of the sticker but secretly surprised, ordinary people's name thorn sticker is usually made of wood and bamboo, but this one is white, faintly dark light floating, to the hand to know that it is carved with ivory.
Generally, people who are not familiar with it in ancient times must have a worship sticker before visiting, also called a famous thorn, a bit similar to a business card after a thousand years, generally speaking, the famous thorn received by the master will not be lost, but will be collected, Qin Hao originally wanted to make some jade in order to show his forced style, but unfortunately there was a rule in the Tang Dynasty that officials who were not above the first grade were not allowed to use jade as living utensils, so they had to retreat to the second choice of ivory, and for a time it actually led a trend, and the children of the powerful followed suit, and the price of ivory doubled in Chang'an. Even Li Chengqian felt that this was very compelling, and he actually made a few for himself, as if he still needed to hand over a sticker to someone's house.
The old man of the Liu family naturally didn't know all this, but he also knew that the steward sent to Luoyang in his small family was really nothing in front of the real cattle people, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he hurriedly opened it and took a look, but saw a small line neatly written on it: Qin, the master of the Qing Gang.
"Is it Qin Hao? He's back? β
"Yes, yesterday I heard rumors on the street that he accompanied His Royal Highness King Yue to visit Luoyang, but most people didn't take it seriously, I think it should be true, early in the morning, there was a young man singing in a big theater knocked on the door, threw down the sticker and left."
The housekeeper was obviously a little stunned when he spoke, but it was the master, who gave himself two slaps with his backhand and immediately said to the housekeeper urgently: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and get ready, tell the people, give me a little bit of speed, and sweep the street at the front door as quickly as possible!" Also, call me that rebel! β
It is said that people are old and fine, this old man can manage Luoyang for the Liu family, and he is naturally one of the best people in their family, this old man actually guessed Qin Hao's origin after only a while, otherwise with the strength of their family, how can they be qualified to let the family 'God Bestow Xiucai' come to their house?
Don't look at Qin Hao, who has only been a six-grade Feng Yanlang, and even now he doesn't even have an official body, but his status has actually declined, especially after marrying Li Xin, almost only those big guys.
Although the Liu family still calls themselves Hedong Liu's family, in fact, they have moved to the south since the Yongjia Rebellion, and the clan is peaceful and peaceful at the same time, they naturally lose the opportunity to get close to the center. If the head of the Liu family is here, it may be reasonable for people to deign to come over to meet, but themselves, hehe, I'm afraid the visit is fake, and the question is true.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
By the time the sun had risen and Qin Hao had finally been late, everyone in Liufu was already hungry with their chests and backs.
Chinese people have the habit of keeping guests to eat, whether it is a thousand years ago or a thousand years later, in order to treat Qin Hao, a distinguished guest, everyone in Liufu prepared a newly killed lamb, aged wine, white fish from Taihu Lake and fragrant flatbread, but this ancestor can't wait left or right, smelling the fragrance of those delicacies that have been wafting from the back kitchen, everyone in the Liu family feels like a year.
Seeing Qin Hao dressed in a white silk robe and holding an ivory bone fan and entering the door gracefully, everyone in the Liu Mansion was about to stay, and the lord of the Liu family almost shouted out a sentence to serve the food.
Qin Hao is polite and extraordinary, although his status is already quite high, he respectfully bent down and saluted the juniors: "Qin Hao has seen several elders of the Liu family, I am really sorry to bother the elders, when I passed by the Huai'an Mansion just now, I was pulled by the little prince and ate a sheep, I really ate a little, please forgive me." β
People in Liufu: "............"
Yes, everyone has eaten it, and it seems that this lunch will be eaten.
It was still Old Man Liu who was the first to recover from the loss of consciousness when he couldn't eat, and hurriedly greeted Qin Hao warmly into the house, and said after a few polite words: "Gang Master Qin, this is the dog Liu Lie, the dog doesn't learn and has no skills on weekdays, if there is a place that offends your relatives, please ask Haihan, and be careful not to be respectful." β
Qin Hao had already discovered a young man standing in the corner of the living room as if he was being angry, his face was blue and purple, and he looked as if he had been beaten, although he could still see traces of makeup if he looked closely, but at least it showed the sincere attitude of the Liu family, although Qin Hao was the same age as him, but the level of the two people was already very different, and no one in the world still regarded Qin Hao as a junior teenager.
opened the gift box given by Master Liu, and found that it was a Western Regions gem that was almost the size of a baby's fist, this thing is still worth a lot of money even if the Silk Road is reopened now, and it can be seen that the Liu family has indeed made a bloody investment.
Qin Hao smiled and put away the gem, he didn't mean to be polite at all, and he didn't say anything about Su Lie's harassment of Xiao Cui, just seemed to be casually playing haha.
After a long time, Qin Hao said: "Uncle Liu, your family has always had a saying that half of Xiangyang, the little nephew is going to Yangzhou on the same day, some people say that Yangzhou is not inferior to Luoyang's prosperous place, but the little nephew is not familiar with the place, I don't know if our Liu family has some business of their own in Yangzhou, and when the little nephew arrives at the place to restart the dock, can you let your house give you some pointers?" β
Although the words are polite, but there is a faint meaning of pulling them into the gang, the good news smashed down from the sky almost made Lao Liu's heart skip a few beats, who doesn't know, Qin Hao's family is the God of Wealth, and he can't keep up with the soup when he eats meat, and the world's gate valves have to hug his thighs at least in business.
It's just that there are still some doubts in my heart, it is true that the power of the wealthy clan in Jiangnan is a little greater than that of Guanzhong, but with Qin Hao's reputation and the ability of the Qing Gang, coupled with the full support of the imperial court, he does not have to rely on the local wealthy clan to avoid losing the tail in the future, why do you have to share their meat? Even if they want to divide the meat, they are far from the biggest one in Jiangnan, and there will be no fraud here.
Well, such a big pie in the sky smashed on his head, even if there was a moment of doubt in his heart, Comrade Lao Liu still ate it with great difficulty.
"This is natural, the Liu family also has some energy in Yangzhou, as long as the Qin gang leader gives you an order, my Liu family is naturally obligated to do the great cause of the imperial court."
