Chapter Seventy-Nine: Red Face
"Two adults, the villain is saying that he is holding a banquet in the drunken red mansion today, and I hope that the two adults will appreciate it!" When the dust settled, the head of the Liu family could not hide his joy, and hurriedly ran to Su Guangyi and Fan Zeng to salute.
His Liu family can have the situation it is today, and it can win the championship in this bidding meeting in one fell swoop, all thanks to the care of these two adults. Otherwise, let alone winning the championship, it would be impossible to gain a foothold in this unfathomable business sea in Jiangning.
Then the Wang family and the Ouyang family, are they vegetarians?
Thinking of this, the expression of the head of the Liu family became more and more respectful.
Fan Zeng and Su Guangyi glanced at each other, then nodded and smiled at the same time.
The Drunken Red House is the largest Qinglou venue in Jiangning, and almost half of the flower boats on the Qinhuai River in Pingyue are the industry of the Drunken Red Mansion. Moreover, the famous Oiran women of the Jiangning generation are all from the Drunken Red Mansion.
When Fan Zeng was in Tokyo, he had already heard of the drunken Red Mansion, and when he came to Jiangning, he had long wanted to go and enjoy Jiangning's wind and moon.
Now that the head of the Liu family is very discerning to put forward this invitation, Fan Zeng is of course very happy.
"Even so, then it's troublesome Brother Liu!" Fan Zeng touched his beard and nodded with a smile.
"Master Su, what do you say?"
Su Guangyi hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists at Fan Zeng and saluted: "The lower officials are naturally only the heads of the adults and horses!" β
Fan Zeng looked at Su Guangyi so respectfully and nodded with satisfaction.
After standing up, when he walked past Su Guangyi's side, he whispered to him: "Master Su, when the official left Beijing, Elder An Ge asked the official to pass on a word to you!" β
Su Guangyi chuckled in his heart, raised his head and looked at the smile on Fan Zeng's face, his heart tightened, afraid that something bad was coming.
"Elder Ge, Elder Ge, what did he say, ......?" Su Guangyi raised his sleeves, wiped the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, licked his lips, and asked with difficulty.
Fan Zeng seemed to be very satisfied with Su Guangyi's sincere and fearful appearance.
He coughed, pulled down his face, and stared at Su Guangyi with a serious face: "Elder An Ge is not good for your Su family's relatives and disgraces Lord An, I am very annoyed!" β
When Su Guangyi heard this, he almost fell to his knees in fright.
I thought to myself, Lord An was really angry. Yourself, hey......
"Xiaguan, Xiaguan is really guilty of deserving of death!" Su Guangyi cried bitterly, and he didn't care about any etiquette at this time, so he hurriedly grabbed Fan Zeng's hand, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and looked at Fan Zeng with tears in his eyes.
"Hey, Master Su, it's not the official who said you. How can you go wrong with this kind of thing? Fan Zeng sighed, looking at Su Guangyi with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel.
"Xiaguan knows that it is wrong, and Xiaguan knows that it is wrong." Su Guangyi lifted his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes. The voice was grief-stricken
Fan Zeng smiled, stretched out his hand, put it on Su Guangyi's shoulder, and whispered to him: "However, when I left Beijing, I didn't seem to care too much about this matter when I saw Lord Servant. Moreover, he also asked the official to bring you a message"
Su Guangyi immediately tidied up his appearance, made a gesture of listening with his ears, and asked with a respectful expression: "What are the instructions of Lord Servant, and the lower officials will listen to them!" β
Fan Zeng touched his beard, nodded and smiled: "Lord Su doesn't have to be like this, Lord An said." You and I are both worried about Your Majesty, Your Majesty is happy, and everyone is well. The matter of children's love is just a side matter. Moreover, Lord An also said that Master Su, you are quite capable as an official, hehe! β
Fan Zeng said with a smile: "The meaning of Lord An's words is also known to Lord Su!" β
Hearing this, Su Guangyi was relieved. originally thought that An Peng would be worried about this matter, but he didn't expect that An Daren would be so open-minded. What a blessing in disguise.
Su Guangyi replied gratefully: "The grace of Lord An's knowledge will not give up in the next ten thousand deaths!" β
With a smile on his face, Fan Zeng looked at Su Guangyi's determination in front of him.
But there is some disdain in my heart.
Su Guangyi has always refused to return to Lord Shun'an before. It's not that this person is very popular, but that he is too cautious and suspicious. For fear of accidentally standing in the wrong line, and misfortune. Therefore, it has been in a wait-and-see mode.
However, at the beginning of spring this year. The emperor took the opportunity to mourn the deceased empress and pardoned the crown prince's previous mistakes. Moreover, the majesty of the crown prince was re-established.
What does this mean?
It shows that the crown prince has not fallen out of favor, he is still the prince of the Great Zhou and the future emperor.
As the father-in-law of the crown prince, Lord An, his power is also rising. Therefore, the ministers who saw the direction of the wind in the DPRK and China made overtures to Lord An one after another. Su Guangyi is also among them.
However, as the saying goes, it's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow.
These ministers, seeing that the status of Lord An was high, tended to be inflammatory. And when the prince fell out of favor, he avoided it. With such villains, how could Lord An really trust them?
Although Fan Zeng had a very friendly smile on his face, he despised this governor of the Jiangning Weaving Mansion in his heart.
"Hehe, good. Master Su has this confidence, and it is also the blessing of my Great Zhou. Fan Zeng had a hypocritical smile on his face, laughing and praising Su Guangyi's high demeanor.
Subsequently, after Fan Zeng and the merchants in Jiangning said goodbye, they went out and sat in a sedan chair, and under the leadership of the head of the Liu family, they went towards the drunken flower building in the city.
Along the way, the lights are everywhere, the family opens the road, and the gongs and drums are noisy, which is really a majestic atmosphere.
On the road, pedestrians avoided it. They looked down at the long procession, their hearts full of doubts.
Who's sitting in this sedan chair? Such a big show? It seems that no one has ever been like this.
Cut, what a bun of dirt buns. A little power has to be like this.
On both sides of the road, among the whispering pedestrians, a man with a hat on his head and dressed in a short suit raised his head and walked through the crowd in front of him, and looked coldly at the sedan chair walking in the front. After seeing the smug official in the wind-lifted curtain of the sedan chair, he stared deeply.
Then, he withdrew his gaze, lowered his hat, and turned and disappeared into the night.
In the long procession, the head of the Liu family rode a horse and was accompanied by a group of Fan Daren's guards, beside the sedan chair. From time to time, he took out some silver taels from his sleeve and gave them to the guards. smiled and asked the guards to say a few kind words for him in front of Lord Fan.
Before, he had always been Su Guangyi's caretaker. However, I heard that the Su family has been very bad recently. Therefore, in the prudence of the merchants. He began to look for a new backer.
In the sedan chair in the back, Su Guangyi lifted the sedan curtain, looked at the head of the Liu family like this, and smiled coldly. Then the curtain was lowered.
Hmph, the one who tends to be inflammatory!
Su Guangyi, who was sitting in a sedan chair, had a gloomy face. After squinting and thinking about it, he opened the curtain and called the chubby butler. After whispering a few words in his ear, he waved him away.
The butler's eyes flashed, and he nodded with a sly smile. Then, he walked towards the sedan chair of Lord Fan in front of him.
"Lord Fan, my family, let the villain tell you something!" The butler walked next to Lord Fan's sedan chair, covered his mouth with his palm, and said secretly on the opposite side.
After a whisper, the sedan curtain was still not lifted. It's just that after a long time, Fan Zeng's voice on the faΓ§ade came out. "Is it really that pretty?"
The housekeeper smiled, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes, touched his chin and exclaimed: "The country is beautiful and fragrant, unparalleled in the world 1"
"Hehe, that official wants to see what kind of woman can make Lord Su sway. Butler, you go, the head of the Liu family called over, and the official had something to say to him! In the sedan chair, Fan Zeng's voice came out lightly, with a hint of obscenity.
The housekeeper of the Su Mansion responded and walked towards the head of the Liu family who was chatting with the guards.
In fact, although the head of the Liu family has been chatting with the guards, his ears have been pricked up, listening to the sound here.
Seeing the housekeeper of Su Mansion, with a conspiracy look, he smiled very obscenely and said something to Lord Fan in the sedan chair. Then, he heard words like the Liu family, women, and appearance.
Looking at the sedan chair behind him, in the gently lifted sedan curtain, Su Guangyi's gloomy look. The heart of the head of the Liu family sank.
I thought in my heart when Su Guangyi passed on something to Master Fan. I saw the housekeeper of Su Mansion walking over with a smile.
He clasped his fists and smiled and said to the head of the Liu family: "The head of the Liu family, Lord Fan called you over!" β
The head of the Liu family took a deep look at the sedan chair behind him that had lowered the curtain, then turned around, clasped his fists at the housekeeper of the Su Mansion and said with a smile: "The villain will go over!" β
As he spoke, he drove the horses and walked to Lord Fan's sedan chair.
"My lord, are you looking for me?"
The sedan curtain opened, revealing Fan Zeng's smiling face.
He stared at the head of the Liu family for a while, until the other party lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, then he asked with a smile: "I heard that you have a daughter." Is this famous beauty in Jiangning City? β
The head of the Liu family moved, but then admitted calmly: "Hehe, don't hide it from the adult, the villain does have a daughter, but she was married three years ago, and now, she is already a wife......
"Hey, it doesn't matter if you get married. The official just wants to meet this strange woman, the others, hehe, Brother Liu, don't think about it! Fan Zeng smiled, touched his beard, and looked at the head of the Liu family.
"This!" The head of the Liu family was a little embarrassed in his heart, but he was very willing to let Liu Qingqing come out to meet this adult. However, there is a shadow of a person who has always made him feel very uneasy.
No matter how difficult the scholar was, he always had a very friendly smile on his face, the wind was light, and his gestures were clear, and his temperament of scolding Fang Xuan had always been imprinted in the heart of the head of the Liu family, like a nightmare that was difficult to wield, making him uneasy.
Some time ago, Su Fu's movements, he knew.
Such a large-scale push has not stirred up the slightest movement. Lu Heng is still going for a leisurely walk every day. Then when I go home, when I meet others, I also smile and say hello in return.
I don't see the predicament his family is facing at all.
Moreover, Su Guangyi is so calculating, but now, except for the notoriety of robbing famous women in the Weaving Mansion in Jiangning City, there is no benefit at all.
This is really weird.
