On the seventeenth day of the lunar month, Hangzhou City will be immortal building.

The sun is setting, the jade rabbit has not risen, the day is actually early, but the door is already full of all kinds of sedan chairs, these are invited by Zhang You to attend the dinner, and they paid fifty taels of silver in exchange for the qualifications.

The entire Huixian Building has been contracted by Cao Sheng, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, Anqing, Yingtian, Jiaxing...... Because of the time left, most of the rich gentry in the surrounding provinces got the news, some of them were farther away, and they lived in the Huixian Building early, Lin Lin finally came down, at least 200 people, Rao is the upper and lower floors of the Huixian Building are spacious, and they are still overcrowded. Everyone called friends to sit around the table, and more than 20 young men wore towels on their shoulders, and the summoned groups were spinning around, like spinning tops that could not be stopped.

On the platform on the second floor, the famous singers of Hangzhou in the railing are babbling and singing small songs under the accompaniment of silk and bamboo, and seven or eight girls dance around her, graceful and colorful, which makes people think about it.

Cao Sheng was the person in charge of the dinner, wearing a new silver satin brocade robe, stepping on foundation soap boots, wandering between the tables, exuding a confident glow all over his body.

"Zichu, when will Master Zhang arrive?" In the private room on the first floor, Chen Yongnian saw Cao Sheng passing by, and inquired with a smile.

Cao Sheng's footsteps stopped slightly: "It should be almost there, the son-in-law went out to greet him." He walked away with a attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant.

The figure was far away, Zheng Kuan smiled and said: "As the old saying goes, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, this feng shui is in turn, Lao Chen didn't expect that there would be a time to turn to Zichu's head, right?" ”

Chen Yongnian smiled at the naked ridicule of the head of the Zheng family in Hangzhou, but he was not annoyed, but said: "Brother Zheng, don't say it, besides, I really have to jump the Qiantang River, and when the time comes, no one will drink with you, won't it be lonely?" ”

The richest man in Hangzhou is not an easy person, and he can't be a little cheeky.

Zheng Kuan smiled when he heard this, and the rest of the people also laughed, so the topic moved on to something else-the aunt is now Zhang You's cronies, and now Weng's son-in-law is harmonious, and it is okay to joke about it, but it is not good to really offend him too hard, if it causes any trouble, it will be more than worth the loss.

Zhang You came late, and with him, there were Wei Yunzhen, the governor of Susong, Liu Quanlai, the political envoy of Zhejiang, and Wang Shizhen, the new prefect of Hangzhou. It is not surprising that these three people can come, but there are two others who make everyone a little embarrassed, one is Xu Bin, the prefect of Songjiang, and the other is Xu Bangrui, the prince of Wei.

Most of the merchants in the building have a close relationship with Wei Guogong and the Songjiang Xu family, knowing that the relationship between the two and Zhang You is like fire and water, they never imagined that such an important person would also be present.

Of course, the dinner has nothing to do with overseas trade, but everyone is still like a child who has been caught stealing food, especially Chen Yongnian and Zheng Kuan, both of whom started by Xu Jie, and when they saw Xu Bin, they were sweating even more, and they were a little at a loss.

Zhang You actually didn't expect Xu Bin and Xu Bangrui to attend the dinner, seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, he couldn't help laughing, waved his hand and said: "All sit, all sit, all of you are friends today, don't talk about humility and humility, and talk freely later...... Chen Yongnian, Zheng Kuan, you two come over and share a table with us. ”

Saying that, he was polite to Wei Yunzhen, and when he entered the box that had been prepared a long time ago.

Chen Yongnian and Zheng Kuan glanced at each other, and smiled bitterly at the same time, if this invitation was not Xu Bin and Xu Bangrui, it would naturally be enviable, but now it was put on fire, Zhang You's move must have been intentional.

But so what? What to say "not to talk about the superiority and inferiority" is just a scene, if anyone is serious, who will be unlucky.

The two gritted their teeth, and said in their hearts, Xu Ge really wants to blame it, it's a big deal to take refuge in Zhang You, look at his current momentum, who will dominate Jiangnan in the future.

With this thought, the two calmed down, looked at each other again tacitly and smiled, arched their hands with the people at the same table, and walked out of the private room one after the other.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, everyone already had a sense of wine between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Xu Bangrui suddenly said to Zhang You after drinking a glass: "Lord Zicheng greets these rich gentry and celebrities, and the face is not small, so my father and Xu Ge Lao came forward, I'm afraid I can't invite so many people......"

"Brother Xu, isn't he afraid that the younger brother won't be able to control the scene?" Zhang You interrupted him with a smile, he smiled proudly, and said: "Don't say it, the foolish brother is really a little worried, the people in this place in Jiangnan are bullying, don't look at the support of the Long Live Lord behind you, it is not easy to make them all obedient." ”

After a pause, he said again: "But it doesn't matter, after all, Brother Fool and Wen Hui are both courtiers of the Long Live Lord, if they dare to be disobedient, we will clean them up." ”

Co-author, are you two here to help Lao Tzu Town?

Zhang You slandered, and said in his heart that if Lao Tzu believed you, wouldn't he become a fool?

Wei Yunzhen and Xu Bin were smiling, Xu Jing, the richest man in Songjiang next to him, had a teasing face, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle, Wang Shizhen glanced at Zhang You with some concern, for fear that he was young and vigorous, and he couldn't hold back.

Chen Yongnian and Zheng Kuan were sandwiched in the middle, crying or laughing, secretly but a little strange, could it be that Xu Bangrui and Xu Bin were here purely to smash the field? Wei Guogong and Xu Ge are cunning and cunning, they shouldn't be able to do such a low-level thing, right?

Zhang You suddenly smiled: "It seems that Brother Xu really doesn't believe in the ability of the younger brother, so let's sit tastelessly, let me tell you a story, there was a prime minister in the previous dynasty, I won't say what it's called, he retired due to illness in his sixties, the emperor gave him gold, and returned to his hometown with courtesy, but this prince is an idle man, travels in all directions, and rarely stays at home......"

Everyone didn't know how he told the story, and his expressions were different, although Xu Bangrui and Xu Bin were a little unimpressed, they were embarrassed to interrupt, so they could only pinch their noses and listen.

"Once he went to a place, but the purse containing the money was stolen by a thief, and the local prefect and county were all his students, logically speaking, just one sentence, he must not worry about food and clothing, guess what?"

Speaking of this, Zhang You stopped.

At this time, Xu Bangrui was aroused: "What's the matter?" Is it difficult to beg or beg? ”

Xu Bin also smiled: "Xia Guan thinks that this duke used to be the prime minister, and he must be a face-saving person, and he may borrow it from a friend." ”

Wang Shizhen smiled silently, he admired Zhang You a little, he has the ability to control the overall situation at any time, in comparison, Xu Bangrui and Xu Bin don't look at him a lot older, but they are a little worse.

Zhang You shook his head: "Lord Xu's guess is more reliable, Brother Xu is far behind, to tell the truth, this prince is a strong seed, and he doesn't even want to ask his disciples for help, let alone borrow it from his friend Zhou, he actually found a rich family at random and applied to be a teacher." ”

This means something, everyone subconsciously looked at Chen Yongnian, Cao Sheng was even more moved, and said in his heart, how did the adult get to this point, although the father-in-law is not good, after all, he is the richest man in Hangzhou, and he should try his best to win over, and he shouldn't say a blow, right?
