Nan Baoyi nodded and shook her head again.

She didn't want to show her timidity in front of him, so she changed the topic, "I didn't expect that this time the minister of the Qin Mission was actually nine thousand years old in Xichang." ”

"Yes, it's actually a delicate old friend."

Xiao Yi came to a sentence without yin or yang.

Nan Baoyi choked.

She did mention that her archery was taught by Gu Chongshan in her dream, but she is not an old man!

What Lord Quan Chen said is really wrong.

She lowered her eyes and took a few sips of almond tea.

The reception banquet was about to start, she raised her eyes and looked around, but she didn't see Xue Dudu and Cheng Taishou coming to the banquet, but she saw a lot of big businessmen in Shu County.

Especially the Shu brocade merchants, several of whom have also had business dealings with her family.

She was curious: "Second brother, nine thousand years old with a high status, why didn't he see Xue Dudu and Cheng Taishou entertain him in person?" ”

"No matter how high the status is, it's just a eunuch. Xue Dingwei and Cheng Taishou can't look down on it. ”

Nan Baoyi was silent.

Also, although Gu Chongshan is in a high position and power, even the prime minister has to call him "nine thousand years old" when he sees him, but in private, those courtiers often insult him as a rootless eunuch.

She added: "It's just that the two of them don't come to receive them, why are there so many businessmen?" Could it be that the imperial court is planning to deal with our Shu merchants? ”

"This time, Gu Chongshan went to Shu County, in addition to verifying the robbery of disaster relief silver, he also had to select imperial merchants to be responsible for the supply of Shu brocade in Shengjing City every year."

Imperial Merchant ......

Nan Baoyi's eyes were shining.

It's good to be an imperial businessman, in addition to getting a high amount of Shu brocade orders from Shengjing City every year, you can also be exempted from seventy percent of taxes!

And because of the backing of the royal family, the family's status has risen, and other merchants in the business field not only dare not default on their goods and debts, but even take the initiative to ask for cooperation!

In his previous life, the Xia family had been an imperial businessman, and later moved his family to Shengjing City.

If her family can also be an imperial businessman, then not only can she go to Shengjing City, but she can also have a relationship with the royal family, which is very beneficial to opening a money bank.

But......

She hesitated, "Second brother, why didn't our family receive the invitation?" Obviously, our family is the largest Shu brocade merchant in Shu County. ”

The voice landed, and a warm greeting came from behind:

"Jiaojiao!"

Nan Baoyi had a bad premonition in her heart.

She looked back slowly.

Her father came dressed in luxury and came over with a smile on his face.

"A few days ago, I was in the concierge and ran into someone sending an invitation full of gold and jade." Nanguang sat down with emotion, "I pondered, such a good thing is naturally indispensable to me, so I specially came to the banquet on behalf of the family." Don't tell your grandmother, I secretly intercepted the invitation, or I'll be scolded! ”

He reached out and pulled off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, "Hmm...... This rotisserie chicken is good! ”

He hurriedly pulled off the other chicken leg and put it in Nanbao's bowl, "Jiaojiao, eat quickly, don't be robbed!" ”

Nan Baoyi sneered.

She looked around.

The people sent to the banquet by other families are all ruthless characters in the family.

There are ancestors who have been operating Shu brocade for more than 60 years, there are family members who know everything about brocade, and there are big shopkeepers who are good at running business all over the country......

All of them are gearing up, planning to run for the imperial business.

Only their home......

She looked at her father in disgust.

Nanguang gnawed on the chicken thighs so fragrantly, and said with a mouth full of oil: "Jiaojiao, what do you see me doing, eat it quickly!" Such a good feast that cannot be eaten anywhere else! Nephew, can you fit in your sleeve pocket? Put that plate of hairy crabs back and don't waste it! ”

Nan Baoyi really didn't want to deal with him.

She said tactfully: "Second brother, what is the comparison between the imperial businessman campaign?" The scale of the family's business, or the delicacy of Shu brocade? ”

"Donate silver."

"Donate silver?"

"The imperial court allocated a million taels of disaster relief silver, and the old emperor was distressed. I don't know when the drought will end, and the old emperor is reluctant to continue to allocate funds, so he wants the rich merchants of Shu County to pay for it. This time, the quota of the imperial merchant will fall on the merchant who donated the most silver. ”

Nan Baoyi: "......"

With a glimmer of hope in her arms, she asked, "Dad, when you came in, did anyone ask you to donate money?" ”

"Whatever it takes? I'll do it! Nan Guang Zhen Zhen said, "With two taels of silver!" Jiaojiao, don't learn from your grandmother's extravagance, let's come out to eat and drink, with a gift of two taels of silver, it's already amazing. ”

Two taels, silver......

Nan Baoyi watched him gnaw on the chicken leg expressionlessly, and wanted to press his face into the rice bowl.

At this moment, a little eunuch sang loudly:

"The Overseer has arrived—"

Gu Chongshan is a eunuch.

Although many people despise him in their own hearts, no one wants to offend him to his face.

Except for Xiao Yi's status is high enough, everyone else stood up and saluted.

Gu Chongshan occupied a table alone, and sat with his sleeves brushed coldly.

He didn't bother to say anything about the scene, and poured himself a drink as if no one else was around.

An older eunuch said in a loud voice: "My lord came on the orders of the emperor to verify the theft of disaster relief silver, and to select the Shu Jin Emperor Shang. The emperor thanked the people for suffering from the drought and asked the wealthy merchants to donate two pieces of silver for disaster relief. The one who donated the most was the Imperial Merchant. In order to show justice, we will read out the amount of your donation in public. ”

The hall full of Shujin merchants were all nervous.

They don't know how much the other party has donated, but there is no doubt that the one who has the most hope of winning the top spot is the Nan family.

The family that has to allocate 600,000 taels of disaster relief silver every year, how can they stand idly by and watch this time when they encounter a drought?

Nan Baoyi felt the gaze from all directions.

Those eyes were full of jealousy, as if her family was a strong competitor.

Looking at his father's gobbling posture, Nan Baoyi said that he was tired.

"Wang family, 50,000 taels of snowflake silver!"

"Li family, seventy thousand taels of snowflake silver!"

"Zheng family, 100,000 taels of snowflake silver!"

With the singing, everyone's expressions were different.

The one who donated the least was the Ge family, with 20,000 taels of snowflake silver.

The Ge family felt embarrassed, and their cheeks were hot.

Mrs. Ge happened to be at the adjacent table, and she usually had a good relationship with the Nan family, so she smiled reluctantly at Nan Baoyi: "My husband lost too much money in the gambling house the day before yesterday, so he was a little tighter, and it was really embarrassing to say it...... Baoyi's family is rich and noble, and this time the Nan family will definitely become an imperial merchant in one fell swoop. ”

Nan Baoyi: "......"

No, not only can her family not become an imperial businessman, but she will also be ridiculed by the audience.

20,000 taels is already 10,000 times her family's donation!

She whispered: "Second brother, let's slip away?!" ”

"No, I don't."

Xiao Yi drank watermelon juice slowly.

"Then I slipped away ...... myself"

Nan Baoyi was bent on his waist like a thief, his hands drooping on his chest like dog's claws, ready to apply oil to the soles of his feet.

Nanguang finally realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly lowered his voice: "Jiaojiao wait for me!" ”

said, picked up the osmanthus puff pastry duck and the spiced braised chicken, "I can't take it, Jiaojiao helps my father!" ”

The hall was seated, and the old eunuch had already read aloud to the last two:

"Zou family, 200,000 taels of snowflake silver!"

"Nanjia, 200,000 taels of snowflakes - oh no, 20,000 taels - oh no, 2 taels, 2 taels?! Well, Nanjia, two taels of silver! ”

Two two?!

The audience was in an uproar!

All kinds of eyes fell on the father and daughter of the Nan family at the same time.

Nan Baoyi, who had just slipped out of two steps: "......"

In her hand, she was still holding a whole osmanthus puff pastry duck stuffed to her by her father.

And Nanguang cat followed behind her, holding the whole spiced braised chicken.

，

There will be a reversal, and the imperial merchant must be Jiaojiao's family, rest assured
