Chapter 42 Zhao Ji

Hu Feng Liquor Shop, Lü Buwei's residence. Lü Buwei was enjoying the waitings of the green-clothed maid, moaning softly and comfortably.

"The old slave has seen the master." At this moment, Father Simon came in and saluted Lu Buwei.

"Daddy Simon, you're back just in time." Lu Buwei no longer ignored the usual attitude, pushed the maid away, his face was quite eager, and asked, "I want you to investigate, but can you find out clearly?" ”

"Master, I've made it clear." Father Simon's face was flushed with joy, his voice turned high, and he replied loudly: "The master has been widowed for many years and has never married. Now, there is such a lovely person in this Handan city. ”

"Say it quickly." Lü Buwei was a little impatient.

"This lovely person is the daughter of Handan Haoqiang Zhao, with extraordinary beauty, few people can match, can sing and dance, know books and etiquette, and have a good reputation, many people come to the door to propose marriage, but his father Zhao Xiong refuses." The more Father Ximen spoke, the more excited he became, his face flushed red, and he said: "Zhao Xiong said that if there is no family wealth, if you are a big family, you will not come to the door." Yes, he is eighteen years old and has never been engaged. ”

During the Warring States Period, a woman who had never married at the age of eighteen belonged to the "leftover woman", which was extremely rare at that time.

"Oh!" Lu Buwei was even more interested, and said: "Zhao Xiong is so confident, presumably this lovely person must have something extraordinary." What is the Zhao family's background? ”

"Although the Zhao family is a powerful man in Handan and owns a lot of real estate shops, the old slave is estimated to be only four or five thousand gold." Father Ximen didn't look like he took Zhao seriously.

"Four or five thousand gold can only be dominated in Handan, if you look at the world, it is not even it. Like our Lu trading company, it is famous all over the world and is a large businessman in the world. Lu Buwei was very complacent and said, "Well, what is the name of this person?" ”

"Known as Zhao Ji." Father Simon hurriedly returned.

"Ji is also beautiful, and those who dare to be called Ji must be beautiful." Lu Buwei made up his mind and said: "Prepare a generous gift, I will go to the Zhao family for a while, and if I like it, I will marry." ”

Ji, in the Warring States Period, was not a personal name, but a word of praise for women's beauty, which is equivalent to the current beauty and beauty.

Zhao Ji, in today's words, is "Zhao Da Beauty", not a personal name. It's just that because Qin Shi Huang's fucking name is not recorded in the history books, later generations call it a word of praise.

The south of Handan is the industrial and commercial area of Handan, if in normal season, people come and go here, the sound of selling is endless, and bargaining is a scene. Nowadays, pedestrians are sparse and deserted.

There is a house of hundreds of houses, covering an extremely wide area, repaired in a very grand manner, and the door plaque of the compound reads the word "Zhao Mansion".

Here, it is Handan Haoqiang, where the Zhao family is located.

A tall man with a mane that had already appeared in his hair came quickly, saluted Lu Buwei, and said, "In Xia Zhaoxiong, I have seen Mr." Zhao Xiong dared to ask Mr. Where is Xianxiang? ”

"In the lower defense of the country, the Puyang people's clan, the Lu clan, not Wei." Lü Buwei revealed his identity.

During the Warring States period, men were called by their first names but not by their surnames. For example, if Qin Yiren wants to introduce his identity, he should say "Win Stranger", not "Surname Win Difference".

"But the ...... of the Lu family trading company" The name of the Lu family trading company was outside, Zhao Xiong was startled, and his voice was a little high.

Lu Buwei was very satisfied with Zhao Xiong's reaction, and said with a smile: "It's Buwei." ”

"It turned out to be the big shopkeeper of the Lu family, please come in, please come in! Open the door and welcome the guests. Played! Before Zhao Xiong could speak, a man who was slightly younger than him, with a smile on his face, commanded loudly.

He is Zhao Xiong's second brother, Zhao Lie.

During the Warring States Period, guests should enter from different doors according to their identities, open the gate, and play music to welcome Lü Buwei, which is the highest courtesy.

"In the name of my Lu Clan's trading company, you can't do it if you don't do it." Lu Buwei held his head high, held his chest high, and entered the house surrounded by Zhao Xiong's brothers.

Welcoming Lü Buwei into the hall, Zhao Lie hurriedly moved a short table, wiped it with his sleeve again and again, and invited Lü Buwei to take a seat.

Zhao Xiong looked at it in his eyes, frowned, and was a little displeased. The Lu family trading company is rich and powerful, you can't please him like this, right?

Lu Buwei saw it in his eyes, he was very happy, Zhao Lie was currying favor, and he would take his lead as a leader.

Zhao Xiong personally sent the tea, and then asked what he meant, and said, "Dare to ask Mr. Lu when he comes to the cold house, what are you doing?" ”

Although the Zhao family is Handan Haoqiang, compared to the Lu family's trading company, it is not a fart. Lü Buwei suddenly visited, and Zhao Xiong was really confused.

Although Zhao Lie was extremely flattering, he was also curious, pricked up his ears, and listened attentively.

"Mr. inquired, don't you dare to say nothing?" Lu Buwei didn't beat around the bush, but came straight to his senses: "Buwei heard that the Zhao family has a daughter, who is beautiful and matchless, can sing and dance, and came here. ”

"Dare to ask sir, but you want to marry a niece?" Zhao Lie hurriedly asked, his eyes full of wonderful little stars.

The Lu family trading company is one of the few trading companies in the world, if you can get a relationship, this benefit does not need to be thought about, the Zhao family will take advantage of the east wind of the Lu family trading company to become famous and famous all over the world.

"If you like it, you can't do it." Lu Buwei nodded reservedly and said, "Buwei has been widowed for many years and has never married, because he has not liked a woman. ”

This is not to raise his value, his status is high enough, and he doesn't need to be raised again. With his eyes, non-stunning colors will not enter the eyes.

"Sir, although the little girl has a slight name, she is rude and willful, and I am afraid that she will not be called Mr." Zhao Xiong was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Lie, glanced at him, and then said to Lu Buwei.

"Big brother, what are you talking about? The niece is naturally beautiful, she is really stunning, and only a dragon and a phoenix like Mr. Lu can match it. Hurry up and ask for a niece. Zhao Lie shouted loudly.

That's my daughter, not yours, okay? Zhao Xiong was extremely dissatisfied with Zhao Lie's unauthorized decision, but the matter had already come, so he had to say, "Invite the young lady." ”

"No!" The servant departed.

Zhao Lie smiled and flattered Lu Buwei and said: "Mr. Lu, but please rest assured, if my niece does not call Mr. will, Zhao doesn't know who else in the world can enter Mr.'s eyes?" ”

Although these words were flattering, they were full of strong self-confidence, and Zhao Xiong raised his head. As a father, he was proud of his daughter, and his face was full of joy.

"Isn't it stunning?" Lu Buwei saw the actions of the two in his eyes and looked forward to it.

The sound of small footsteps sounded, and I saw a tall and beautiful girl, fluttering over, as smart as a butterfly wearing flowers.

"Boom!" Lu Buwei just glanced at it, stood up suddenly, didn't know that the teacup in his hand smashed on the ground, and exclaimed loudly: "It's really stunning!" It's stunning! ”

As if such praise was still insufficient, he chanted aloud: "An increase of one point is too long, and a decrease of one point is too short; The powder is too white, and Shi Zhu is too red. The eyebrows are like green feathers, the skin is like snow, the waist is like bundles, and the teeth are like shellfish. Yan Ran smiled, Lost Yang City, confused Cai. This is a famous sentence in Qu Yuan's student, the writer Song Yu of Chu State, in "Deng's Disciple Lustful Fu", which was very famous at that time.

"What a god! What a genius! Lu Buwei's mouth opened wider and wider, even with his rich experience of reading women, he was also confused by Zhao Ji's demeanor, and the corners of his mouth flowed out of shiny liquid.
