He stood on tiptoe and looked in the huge guest hall, and asked Master Li: "Uncle Li, the clothes that person is wearing look very decent, which master is it?" ”

After glancing at his eyes, he asked another young man in a leather jacket: "This one is better dressed, that fur is not cheap, whose family is it?" ”

Li Dadao: "You Lu doesn't have to be so curious, if it is a person with status, he will naturally be introduced later, and then the ordinary rich don't have to pay attention to it." ”

He is a five-grade acquaintance, not anyone who comes to give gifts can be personally received by him, but more Steward Li, Li Zhuang, and Master Yue, only the real big families in He'an Mansion will be brought over to see him.

Gu Youlu was very sorry to hear this, seeing that these guests were either rich or expensive, Lord Li even had to pick and choose, but he was not stupid, he knew that he could be curious, but he couldn't ask Lord Li to call these people to introduce them to him.

However, Lord Li was very fond of him and asked, "Youlu wants to talk to those people?" ”

Gu Youlu nodded, naturally he thought about it, they were all very rich. He had befriended these people with the grandson of Lord Li's life-saving benefactor, and they were not to kill him.

However, he spoke nicely and said with a smile: "We are new to the city, and I think it would be good to know more people." ”

Gu Chengzhi didn't want to follow Master Li, although he had silver flowers with this old man, he had to pretend. There are so many delicious foods in the living room, he wants to eat happily, don't follow the old man's rules, so he follows: "Grandpa Li, Brother Zhi also wants to get to know those people." ”

Master Li smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then your father and son will go with Li Bai to meet those merchants." ”

Gu Youlu was very happy, and hurriedly thanked Master Li: "Thank you, Uncle Li." ”

Master Li smiled and nodded, and asked a small servant next to him to take Gu Youlu and his son to meet those merchants, while he took Gu Youwen and his son to the room on the left side of the guest hall with Second Young Master Li, where they met the prominent families, big merchants, and people with official positions lower than him in He'an Mansion.

Second Young Master Li was very dissatisfied with Lord Li taking Gu Youwen and his son to meet these distinguished guests, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Dad, the visiting guests are here to see our Li family, not to meet other people with foreign surnames. ”

Gu Youwen's father and son's faces sank when they heard this, but they were very smart and didn't open their mouths to argue with Second Young Master Li, because Master Li would help them.

Sure enough, Lord Li was very unhappy when he heard this, and reprimanded Second Young Master Li in a low voice: "Youwen and Cheng Xian are the life-saving benefactors of our Li family, although they are not surnamed Li, they are the closest people to our Li family, why not take them to meet the faces of the people in the city?" ”

"It's you." Lord Li looked at Second Young Master Li, and really hated iron and steel: "A thirty-year-old person has not even been admitted to the fame, and he does not even have a son." There is no queen, there is no man, how can the father reuse you? ”

Since the death of Young Master Li, Third Young Master Li, and Young Master Sun of the Li family, Lord Li has been very afraid that the Li family will be extinct, and he desperately wants a man, although it is ...... But he still wants Second Young Master Li to give birth to a son, after all, Second Young Master Li is a son-in-law, and what is born is a grandson.

He is an official and knows the importance of his descendants.

Not being able to give birth to a son was the pain of Second Young Master Li, and when Lord Li took it out in front of Gu Youwen's father and son, his face was quite ugly, and he almost threw his hands and left. But the Li family wanted to stay in He'an Mansion for at least three years, and he couldn't give up this opportunity to get acquainted with the Fucheng clan and various officials, so he could only continue to stay in silence.

Seeing this, Lord Li snorted coldly and said, "When you don't have the ability, you have to be obedient." ”

Second Young Master Li hated him even more when he heard this.

Gu Youwen and Gu Chengxian listened beside them, and their hearts were extremely comfortable, Lord Li was really very good to their father and son, and even scolded his own son for their father and son.

"My lord, the uncle of the Liu family of the Fucheng Wang clan wants to see the adult, but he wants to see him?" Li Zhuang asked, and told a little about the situation of the Liu family.

The Liu family, a century-old family in He'an Fucheng, the ancestors used to be officials, and now there are three people in the clan, and there are countless fertile fields in the clan.

Master Li nodded after hearing this: "Since it is the uncle of the Liu family who personally came to visit the New Year, he naturally wants to see it." ”

Li Zhuang nodded, and picked out some guests with status, and brought them together to see Lord Li, among which there were many merchants, and Boss An was also there.

Boss An has no good impression of Master Li in his heart, this old man will not take office early or late, and he will come to the New Year, isn't this going to toss them to death?

But there is no way, they have to do business with the adults of the Yamen of Fucheng, even if it is the New Year, they have to carry generous gifts to pretend to be grandchildren.

Mr. Qi also came, although his eldest brother is a Beijing official, but his family lives in He'an Mansion, and the new Tongzhi of He'an Mansion came to take office, so he didn't want to come to the door.

The three major officials of the Fucheng Yamen: the prefect, the Tongzhi, and the general judge, it can be seen that the status of the Tongzhi Lord in the Fucheng, even Mr. Qi is going to come to visit.

Lord Li was very polite to Mr. Qi, and let him sit in the first seat on the right, and the first seat on the left was reserved for guests of higher status.

Mr. Qi thanked him and sat down. When I learned that the father and son next to Li Tongzhi were not Li Tongzhi's eldest son, but surnamed Gu, I was slightly surprised in my heart, there are so many people with the surname Gu, you can meet them anywhere.

However, he didn't mention Gu Jinli's family, just because he was wary of this new Tongzhi, for fear that this Li Tongzhi was a shallow eyelid, and after knowing that the business of seasoning and spices belonged to the Gu family, he would reach out to him to grab the goods.

Boss An didn't mention the Gu family, let alone bring ham.

Joke, that ham is not only expensive, but also hard to find, can he stupidly carry a ham to honor Li Tongzhi?

Impossible, he didn't even bring a plate of ham slices, so he brought beautiful jade, famous paintings, ancient books, and a few beauties who had been specially taught by his grandmother and gave them to Li Tongzhi.

Although neither Boss An nor Mr. Qi mentioned the Gu family, Gu Youlu still heard the news about the Gu family in the guest room.

"Brother Yu, what are you talking about, the crystal cake, roast duck, tofu, and lo-mei we eat now are all made by the Gu family?" Gu Youlu bit the roast duck leg and asked, very interested in this Gu family with the same surname as his own.

The young master of the Yu family in Fucheng said: "That's natural, not only these things are made by the Gu family, but even the seasoning spices and toothbrushes are made by the Gu family." ”

Gu Youlu stood up directly when he heard this, and exclaimed, "What did you say?" Even the spices and toothbrushes are made by this Gu family? Eh, that's amazing, I heard that the seasoning spices are as expensive as the fresh sauce, how much money did this Gu family make? ”

Young Master Yu's friend, Young Master Fu of Fucheng Fujia Inn, said: "The Qi family in Fucheng is the seasoning spice that the Gu family took, but in three years, the money earned is the sea." ”

He lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the uncle of the Qi family was promoted because he sent seasoning spices to Shangfeng. ”
