In less than half an hour, the brothers followed Zhu Daolin to bring 4 large grinding mirrors with a height of 5 feet and a width of 2 feet, a large mahogany pendulum clock with a height of 6 feet, 5 sets of exquisite bone china that had passed through Jingdezhen, Jun kiln and Yue kiln, 2 peacock peony enamel porcelain vases with a yellow background, 5 cans of first-class Longjing tea packaged in bamboo carving, 5 cans of first-class Tieguanyin tea packaged in wooden boxes, 2 cans of special black tea packaged in carved tin cans, 5 one-foot-high crystal statues of Our Lady, and 1 colored crystal Jesus carving painting nearly two feet high and more than a foot wide. After the two Tianshu Pavilion pocket watches with sterling silver shells were all placed on the long table covered with red silk, everyone who looked at them was dazzled.

A wealthy man like the little marquis Zhang Deyi has become a fool in the countryside in front of many treasures, not to mention other people.

Zhu Daolin didn't seem to be satisfied, and loudly reminded the two junior disciples who were standing in front of the incense case: "That crystal crucifix can't lean under the incense case, Yulong, you are tall, pick up the crystal painting and put it on the table of the eight immortals next to it!" ”

"Wait...... First spread the blue silk cloth on it, then put the painting on it, two girls, go and find out the few sterling silver plum blossom candlesticks I brought back last time, and put all the candles on the fire, and do what I told you to put ......"

"Yihe, don't stand stupid! Move the large vase next to you to the edge of the long table so that the two sides are symmetrical...... I almost forgot, there are still a few strings of crystal beads that I haven't taken out. ”

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Zhu Dao rushed into the inner room, took out 2 purple crystal bead chains, 2 agate-like crystal bead chains and 1 crystal crystal bead chain with crystal clear primary colors given by the proprietress of the crystal specialty store, and put them on the tray with blue silk in the middle of the long table.

After thinking about it, Zhu Daolin felt that it should not be mixed with the gems and jewelry in the tray, so he simply took a large plate from a complete set of gold-flowered and white porcelain tea sets displayed on the side, placed it on the edge of the tray, and put 5 strings of crystal bead chains into the dish and arranged them into petals. Only then did he take two steps back with satisfaction, and carefully admired his masterpiece, feeling a little bit of a taste of the sample display in the specialty store.

The three maids brought the five sterling silver plum blossom candlesticks with the candles, borrowed a fire from the small charcoal stove on the side with hay stems, and lit the fifteen large candles on the five candlesticks one by one.

Zhu Daolin went over and took the candlestick and placed it in different positions. Suddenly, the golden light in the hall was more luxurious, and the statue of Jesus erected on the table of the Eight Immortals was more conspicuous and more charming under the candlelight.

Zhu Daolin once again admired and commented on each other with the brothers, and when he saw the maid who lit the candle walking behind him, he grabbed her and said with a serious face:

"Next time I'll get some matches from overseas, and when I have matches, you can light candles or make a fire. Don't work as hard as you just now, at the end of the year at the latest, we will also open our own match factory, you will see! ”

"Alright, prepare two boiling charcoal stoves, put two jugs of spring water, and our guests are almost here."

"Yes."

The little girl was not afraid of her head of the house at all, and went to work with a smile.

Zhang Deyi was a little curious. He came up and asked, "What is the match that my brother is talking about?" A fire sickle that ignites the fire? ”

Zhu Daolin explained: "No, matches are made of potassium chlorate, sulfur, red phosphorus, glass powder and small wooden sticks through a special process. In fact, the manufacturing technology is quite simple, but it is difficult to explain clearly for a while, and you will understand when we build it at the end of the year, or I will bring you some back next time. ”

"It's very simple to use, it can start a fire with a single stroke, and the flame is similar to a candle flame. It's very convenient, I always felt like I forgot something, and I just remembered when I saw the little girl lighting a candle. ”

Zhang Deyi wanted to ask again, but the housekeeper Gu walked in and reported: "The host, the guest's carriage has arrived." Would you like to go out and greet you? ”

I don't know when the big housekeeper Gu has become accustomed to changing the title of Master Zhu Daolin to the owner.

Zhu Daolin shook his head: "You don't need to go out to greet you, just wait at the door of the main hall, and then you let the girls be smarter, don't be afraid if those foreign devils are shouting, they are just like that, they speak loudly, and the body smell is still very heavy, but for the sake of making money, patience will pass." ”

"Great!"

Zhu Daolin pulled up Zhang Deyi, Yan Yihe, Lao Shi and the two junior disciples, and the six of them stood neatly on the steps outside the main gate, and saw Ying Changpei and Feng Shengtai leading seven Francophiles across the middle gate and walking briskly along the smooth stone road in the middle of the garden.

The guests were still far away, Zhu Daolin had already shown a kind smile, and the brothers around him were also full of confidence, even the big butler Gu who was standing behind him was also infected, and he couldn't help but straighten his spine, showing a bright smile on his face that he hadn't seen for a long time.

The reaction of these Francophiles was exactly the same as Zhu Daolin's expectation, as soon as they climbed the stone steps in front of the main hall, they were immediately shocked by the dazzling porcelain and brilliant furnishings in the room, except for the Arab Sayid and Zhu Daolin to salute each other, Moreno, Aznar, Sanchez and others all poured into the main hall in a gaffe, and they were so excited that they exclaimed.

Zhu Daolin took Sayide's hand and greeted him warmly, and when he saw him say two polite words, he immediately looked nervously into the room, and immediately smiled and pulled him into the main hall:

"It was still drizzling in the morning, and it stopped almost at noon, and it was overcast, so in order to make you see more clearly, I deliberately lit a few candlesticks, and then used a few large mirrors to reflect the candlelight to make the room brighter...... I hope you don't misunderstand. ”

"Thank you very much! Mr. Zhu is always thoughtful. ”

Sayid squeezed out a smile, and seemed to be very appreciative, but in fact, he was full of criticism, thinking that although the sky was gloomy, the light was very good just after noon, and the large windows of your extravagant hall were all installed with top-quality crystal glass on both sides, could you use so much light?

But thinking so, after looking around, Sayide had to admire Zhu Daolin's meticulousness and shrewdness, and all the items displayed on the red silk table seemed to have magical power, which deeply attracted everyone.

"Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?" Zhu Daolin asked with a smile.

"Let's take a look at your furnishings first, it's so beautiful, the four big lace mirrors as tall as mine have dazzled me, and honestly, I'm deeply moved by your furnishings samples, so I can't let those hypocritical Europeans take the lead, haha!"

At this time, where is Sayide still in the mood to drink tea? Pointing to a few Francophiles who were already kneeling in front of the crystal carved crucifixion and drawing crosses, they spoke their hearts with great humor but straightforwardness.

Zhu Daolin smiled knowingly, made a gesture of please, and let Sa Yide take his assistant to visit and touch.

Zhang Deyi quietly walked to Zhu Daolin's side and whispered in his ear: "Brother, you look at the third brother's virtue, he looks like he has lost his soul and is full of hillbilly style, I'm afraid he never dreamed that we would put on so many treasures, haha!" ”

"He's okay, look over there, a few Francophiles who just got up immediately after kneeling down to worship their gods, even their necks are red, I'm really worried that a few little maids waiting will be frightened." Zhu Daolin, who was in a good mood, teased.

Some of the Franc machine people approached the colorful crystal carving paintings, their faces were full of shock, and some held the nearly five-foot-high enamel color floor-to-ceiling porcelain vase and shouted "buy cakes", and the eldest Franc machine man surnamed Mo held the statue of the Crystal Virgin for a long time, excited as if he was going to cry, Zhang Deyi looked funny, and laughed uncontrollably.

"Don't ......"

Zhu Daolin hurriedly grabbed this affectionate little marquis: "Let's drink tea, it is estimated that they can't take care of anything at this time, let's sit down and drink tea and wait slowly." ”

The two walked to the side of a temporary semi-circular row of chairs, Zhu Daolin patted the frightened little maid, signaled that she could also come forward to take a look at those things, and then personally brewed a pot of special Tieguanyin and enjoyed it slowly with Zhang Deyi.

Yan Yihe didn't know when he and Ying Changpei got together, and they both bent over at the other end of the long table, playing with the set of colorful gold bone china tableware.

Yan Yihe was a little better, with a smile on his face, and he kept whispering, but Ying Changpei, who was short of breath, had already fallen into a trance, not much better than those shouting Franc Jiren.
