Menzi hurriedly took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Master Tang, there is a shopkeeper, I am afraid that the chief shopkeeper must meet today." ”

The man's brows couldn't help frowning, secretly wondering why this door is so ignorant, he has said that the head shopkeeper of Tang will not see customers if he has something to do today, why does this door still let the head shopkeeper see customers? Could it be that this disciple has accepted the benefits of others?

Tang Xin'an is extremely strict. All the people who worked in his Daxing were given extremely high wages of silver, and some of them could get more silver every year than the four or five high-ranking officials, in order to prevent these people from secretly reaping benefits and doing things that were detrimental to the interests of the Daxing.

Whoever dares to accept benefits behind his back, not to mention that he can no longer work in Daxing in his life, even his sons and nephews and relatives want to work in Daxing again, so no one in Daxing dares to secretly accept benefits.

The guy didn't believe that this disciple dared to accept benefits, so this distinguished guest was not ordinary, and it was so important that the shopkeeper of Tang had to see it. He said, "Who is it?" ”

Li Feibai laughed and said: "Brother Tang is really a noble person who forgets things, we haven't seen each other for a few days, and you don't recognize me when I stand in front of you!" ”

The guy's surname is Tang Ziran, and he seems to be just a guy, but his identity is extremely unusual. Because he is the nephew of Tang Xin'an's eight classics, and Tang Xin'an only has a small pearl in his palm and no son, he deliberately took him with him and cultivated him carefully, and after Tang Xin'an was a hundred years old, the business of Daxing would be handed over to him nine times out of ten.

Tang Ziran also recognized Li Feibai at this time. Even though Tang Xin'an confessed in every possible way, he must not underestimate Li Feibai, but he looked down on Li Feibai no matter how he looked down. The small shopkeeper of a small county, even if he can do 60,000 taels of silver a year, is not because of the care of Daxing, how can such a person make him look high. However, Tang Xin'an also confessed that no matter when this kid came to see him, he didn't need to report it, and he was directly invited to see him. For Tang Xin'an's words, he could disdain it in his heart, and he still had to listen to it on his face, so he had to say: "It turned out that Shopkeeper Li was visiting, so come with me!" ”

The two of them walked towards the house, and passed through five or six courtyards and two or three gardens until they came to a small courtyard. This courtyard is also in the form of a quadrangle, and facing the gate of the courtyard is a hall for visitors. Through the open door, it can be seen that Tang Xin'an is glaring at a young girl sitting next to him with an angry face, and the girl does not show any emotion, but also glares at Tang Xin'an angrily.

Tang Xin'an said: "That's the eldest son of King Zhou, you married the princess of the county, such a good thing, you can't find it with a lantern." Why are you so stubborn! ”

The girl said: "What kind of prince and county king, usually can't even take a step out of the palace, daring to go out of Kaifeng without permission is equivalent to rebellion, isn't that equivalent to imprisonment?" Dad, what do you think, just thinking that you will climb the high branches of the king of Zhou, and after doing business, it will be more smooth, and you don't care about your daughter's happiness? Just sent her daughter to prison like this! ”

Tang Xin'an said angrily: "Nonsense, how can you be the princess of the county to send you to prison!" You don't need to say any more, I've made up my mind, and that's it! ”

The girl said, "I want to marry you, but I won't marry anyway!" If you force me, I will run away from home. If you dare to stop me, I will kill myself! ”

Tang Xin'an was so angry that she couldn't say a word, and glared at the girl angrily. The girl glared at him angrily.

Li Feibai said secretly, it was really not the right time for him to come today, how could Tang Xin'an have the heart to listen to his plan to make a fortune when he was angry. But if you come here, you can go home!

Tang Ziran entered the house at this time, walked in front of Tang Xin'an and said, "Chief shopkeeper, there are distinguished guests who want to see you." ”

Tang Xin'an's brows furrowed, and he glanced at Tang Ziran with a blaming look. Tang Ziran continued: "It's Li Feibai, the shopkeeper from Jiyuan. ”

Tang Xin'an's frowning brows immediately soothed, and he said to the girl: "Let's talk about this later, I have important things to discuss with the guests." ”

The girl said, "There is nothing in the world that cannot be known, so I will sit here and listen to what's wrong?" Could it be that you want to talk about murder and arson, and I'm afraid that I won't succeed in suing the official! ”

Tang Xin'an shook his head helplessly, got up and walked out of the house, and saw that Li Feibai had arched his hand, and said: "Little friends are here, the old man has lost his welcome, forgive his sins." ”

Li Feibai arched his hand and said: "The kid came uninvited, I hope the old shopkeeper will forgive me!" ”

Tang Xin'an said: "Xiaoyou is polite! "Let's talk about it, take Li Feibai to the house and invite it.

Li Feibai pretended to see the girl and exclaimed: "Mr. Tang, who is this fairy-looking little girl?" ”

Tang Xin'an said: "This is my little girl Tang Zilan!" The children's family is not sensible, and I hope that the little friends will not blame! ”

Li Feibai said: "It turned out to be the daughter of the chief shopkeeper, no wonder she looks so pretty." Only a person like the chief shopkeeper can give birth to such a beautiful daughter. ”

Tang Zilan glared at Li Feibai and said, "Flamboyant tongue, you are not a good person at first glance!" ”

Tang Xin'an said angrily: "Presumptuous! Do you treat your guests like this? And there is no tutoring at all! ”

Tang Zilan's eyes were red, and tears almost flowed out. She was silent, tilting her head back, holding back her tears.

Tang Xin'an said: "Little friend, please take a seat!" ”

Li Feibai sat down on the chair opposite Tang Zilan, and Tang Xin'an sat down in the main seat of the middle hall, and said, "Xiaoyou came to Kaifeng this time, is there any trouble with the stone carving, and he came to terminate the contract?" If that's the case, it's nothing, just if you and I made a joke before, it doesn't count! ”

Li Feibai said: "Mr. Tang said so, he looked down on me too much. Not to mention that there is no trouble at all in the stone carving, and it goes very smoothly, and it will never miss the matter of Mr. Tang's shopkeeper. Even if I get into trouble, I will do what I promised, and if I can't speak, it doesn't count! ”

As soon as Tang Xin'an saw Li Feibai, he thought that after Li Feibai had gone through these few days, he found that he was bragging, and he couldn't make so many stone lions in a year. This time I came to him to beg for mercy. Listening to Li Feibai's words, he was surprised, "oh", and said secretly: "That little friend came to Kaifeng this time, what happened?" ”

Li Feibai said: "I have been hired as a friend of Jiyuan County, and this time I came to Kaifeng to go to the political envoy to mention a sum of silver for repairing the Jidu Temple." ”

Tang Xin'an was slightly surprised. All the friends are people who have some real skills, and a county magistrate will not hire a friend casually. Since Li Feibai was hired as a friend, he thought he was a capable person, unless Zhao Xuefei was blind, he would hire someone who had no ability. A person who can pass five levels and kill six generals and become the ruler of Qipin County, will he be blind? No! It can be seen that Li Feibai is a capable person, and he estimated that he had underestimated this person before! said: "Can you go to see Qian Zhenfu?" ”

Li Feibai said: "Last night was the wine I drank with Qian Zhenfu!" ”

Tang Xin'an was overjoyed in his heart and said: "Tonight, if you can invite Qian Zhen to come out, the three of us will get drunk!" ”

How could Li Feibai not know Tang Xin'an's thoughts. He came to do business with Tang Xin'an to attract investment, not to be a broker, and said: "I sent Qian Zhenfu back last night, and Qian Zhenfu said that he was busy with official business, and I didn't have to say goodbye to him when I left." Come to think of it, you can't invite it out at night. ”
