Qi Rong was very concerned about his own business, even so, as soon as he entered the main venue of the ball, he was still stunned. The attendants and maids who came to lead the way were all wearing a kind of small dress that Qi Rong had never seen, and they looked neat and tidy. This appearance alone made Qi Rong sigh in his heart, there were too many talents in the hands of the Zhao official family. Now that the business of the bank has increased dramatically, there is a need for competent people everywhere. And where is it so easy to find competent people?

As for the pomp and circumstance of the official family, Qi Rong didn't particularly care. The utensils inside the ball were good and the food was exquisite. It's just not enough to make Qi Rong, a wealthy man who can count in Quanzhou, feel breathtaking. The prom was originally established in Fuzhou by the Zhao Guanjia in response to Quanzhou's desire for luxury and entertainment, and this mode of communication soon became popular in Quanzhou.

The rich don't want to be left behind, and they compete for food and utensils. Looking at it, Qi Rong was still caught by the people at the Zhao Guan's ball. If such a young man is willing to work under Qi Rong, he looks better than many of Qi Rong's subordinates.

It didn't take too long for Qi Rong to covet it, and the dance began. This surprised Qi Rong even more, generally speaking, shouldn't it be started after the main family came forward? Qi Rong is also a talent, so he naturally asks if he doesn't understand such things. After hearing this question, Qi Ye glanced at his cousin, and then replied, "What kind of character is the official family?" It's not a national event, so why should he wait for us at such a time? ”

Qi Rong immediately understood the meaning of these words, and he couldn't help but hurriedly said, "I don't mean to be disrespectful to the official family. ”

"Brother, the official family is very big-minded. He was worried that he would come out late and asked everyone to wait. Now the dance party is to let everyone have fun. If you want everyone to suffer, why invite us to come. ”

After listening to his cousin's explanation, Qi Rong was a little stunned. Qi Ye made an explanation completely from the position of the Zhao official family, and this explanation is indeed very reasonable, echoing the status of the Zhao official family and the intentions of the Zhao official family. But this explanation is too sincere, so sincere that it is simply the meaning of blowing a conch.

Of course, if he lent Qi Rong ten guts, he didn't dare to openly express his doubts about the official family. If you question it, you are questioning the morality of the official. Even in the Great Song Dynasty, such words cannot be said. In the sound of music, someone had already started dancing, but Qi Rong refused to lag behind, he pulled the continuation of his new marriage not long ago, and stood in the dance hall.

It's a nice thing to dance in the dance hall with a beautiful woman in your arms. Qi Rong is over fifty years old, and he is very concerned about such new entertainment. Although Qi Rong's continuation has a good background, he has never had the opportunity to come to the palace to participate in the ball. The young woman's face turned red with excitement. To the sound of music, she soon twirled with her husband and stepped onto the dance floor.

Qi Ye did not participate in such activities. He was a lazy guy, so he had the urge to learn to dance, but he didn't really learn it. This time he just brought his wife and children with him and let them play. Now I casually look at the wives of adult officials, watching them chatting happily and pointing at young people. It's probably a bit of a son-in-law or a daughter-in-law. As for young people, they are divided into two broad groups according to gender.

It is the children who are not very gender-specific, and they have no idea about men and women. It's just because of my personal instinct and preference to be with the child I like. So the little ones gather around a buffet of dim sums, and sweets and sweet drinks have an irresistible attraction for them.

Seeing that his family was fine, Qi Ye went to the chat place on the side of the dance field. It's away from the band and can speak well. Not all of the people who come to the dance are willing to dance, and many people come for this kind of chat place. In many cases, people may not be able to meet with other department members who want to meet, and with the foundation of the prom, the social circle immediately becomes many times larger.

Sure enough, Qi Ye walked to the place where he was chatting, and immediately someone greeted him, and someone had already given up his place for Qi Ye. Qi Ye just said hello to everyone, and asked the friend next to him directly, didn't anyone come to the ministry this time?

The friend shook his head, "The Ministry of Officials only came to Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Rites." You also know that Liu Shilang's mouth is notoriously tight. ”

Qi Ye glanced around again and found that there were no officials in it at all. The Ministry of Officials is in charge of personnel, and all the promotion and evaluation of officials are managed by the Ministry of Officials. Therefore, the personnel of the Ministry have always been relatively low-key and unwilling to run out to show off. Now there are even fewer people in the ministry.

"Director Qi. Maybe the officials are busy. After all, after the Chinese New Year, so many officials over the age of 60 will pay tribute. The friend said to Qi Ye.

Qi Ye nodded slightly. However, this was just one of his more habitual actions, because Qi Ye found that nodding would make it easier for the other party to continue to express his attitude. And Qi Ye is more willing to listen to others talk to him, so he slowly developed such a habit.

In fact, Qi Ye may not agree with this reason in his heart. The ministry is always busy, and since this is the case, it means that the ministry doesn't care about attending one more ball. This time, there is only one official who is characterized by tight-lipped officials, which means that the officials really have a big move. As for what kind of big move it is, Qi Ye believes that this incident will never be a simple matter of letting officials over the age of 60 become officials. Although he was very concerned about this, Qi Ye didn't dare to ask Zhao Guan's family. A big Song general money village went to inquire about such a big matter, but he couldn't say anything. If Zhao Guanjia said, 'What does it have to do with you?' Qi Ye's face is really unbearable.

Since there was no way to verify his idea, Qi Ye simply joined the crowd of interlocutors. The interlocutors are divided into a number of different groups, each of which is concerned with different things. For example, the one that Qi Ye is participating in now belongs to a group of people who are very interested in handing over money.

"Director Qi. I heard that a new banknote is going to be issued? As soon as Qi Ye sat down, someone asked.

"The 24th banknote is supposed to be issued as scheduled, what's wrong with that?"

"How did I hear that the imperial court has plans to extend the use of banknotes?"

"That's the official business." Qi Ye gave a very ambiguous answer.

There are fools in this room, but there are also very smart people. Of course, there is no shortage of self-made smarts, such as a doll in her twenties whose eyes widened and said with some excitement: "Director Qi, is it really necessary to use a longer exchange period to pay bills?" ”

For such a stupid question, Qi Ye felt unhappy for a while. He's all said about it, is it necessary to finalize it like this? What's in it for everyone? Proof that this young man is more analytical than others?
