That's fine.

Xu Dafu's frustration that he couldn't monopolize the benefits finally dissipated slightly.

Although he was a businessman, he saw the fat that fell into his mouth, and most of it was cut out, and the flesh hurt so much that he wanted to hammer himself to death.

But now that the matter has come to this, as a businessman, it is still instinctive to maximize profits.

Give up a lot of benefits, and be able to have some relationship with these nobles, and the invisible wealth in them is also quite amazing.

Thinking of this, he became more and more attentive, and really politely entertained guests from all sides, saying that he would never eat alone, and as for how to divide the benefits, it still had to be discussed.

He was satisfied, and for now, no one else found the current situation unacceptable.

It can only be said that the timing of the Xu family catching up is not bad.

At this point in time, it is a little sensitive, and the thoughts of the big people above are resting on the court.

Just over half a year ago, King Qi was rewarded by His Majesty, and even gave him the right to control the guards, which was a great favor.

Now, the crown prince occupies the position of righteousness, the king of Qi is favored, and the two of them are fighting like black corns, waiting to catch each other's handles.

But because of this, inside and outside the court, there is an indescribable calm, and the powerful people who are attached to the two of them are tightened and try to cause as little trouble as possible.

Now that the Xu family is so acquainted, moreover, although their family has to honor the king of Nan'an County from time to time, the king of Nan'an County is very neutral on his face, only loyal to the monarch, and slightly biased towards the prince, but also because the prince is the prince ordained by His Majesty, there is really no problem.

His private deeds are still little known, at least at this time.

Then, it is quite appropriate to choose to cooperate with the Xu family.

In addition, all parties check and balance each other, and they don't want each other to get too many benefits, which makes the Xu family's status unique for a while.

Time passed day by day, the last big point of snow in Nan'an City also dispersed, most of the people took off their cotton clothes, pawned to the pawnshop in a precious and important place, exchanged for daily silver money, and some jackets, and showed a little happy smile on their faces.

It's a great pleasure to survive the tough winter.

For three days in a row, the Xu family sent more than a dozen handsome and well-mannered little maids, holding gold posts, to send them to the twelve top big families in Nan'an door to door.

Invite the celebrities and gentry of Nan'an City to come to Duxiu Villa in the spring season to participate in the promotion meeting of the shipyard, and the shipyard plan will be given to discuss the division of shares.

Receiving the post, there are businessmen, officials, and nobles, but before that, there was really no such unsophisticated, inviting so many kinds of guests, not a class of guests.

The people sent by the Xu family were humble and polite in their words, but they tempted everyone without a trace, not only to get down to business, but also to claim that they could let everyone enjoy the wonders of the world, and they would never disappoint.

Many family heads who were familiar with Nan'an thought it was funny, when did the Xu family dare to say such big things.

I really thought that the nouveau riche Duxiu Villa was a partridge garden!

If it weren't for the new ship, for the people who can build the new ship, who would rarely go to that broken garden!

There are ten famous gardens in Nan'an City, and the partridge garden of the king of Nan'an County can be called the first, which can be said to accept the world's strange flowers and plants in one garden.

Other famous gardens that can be arranged, or occupy strange mountains and strange stones, or are built by masters, or have been inhabited by great Confucian celebrities, the garden of the Xu family is no different from the gardens of many merchants in Nan'an City, only for their own family to enjoy, where is so much confidence, dare to say what wonders of the world!

But for now, he's happy to brag, and no one cares.

They don't care, but in fact, Xu Dafu doesn't want to say big things at all, he is very weak and confused in his mind.

Three days later.

Duxiu Villa.

The Xu family made a fortune not long ago, and there were not many scholars up and down, and their preference for the garden was just a love of stacking gold and jade.

Except for the mulberry picking garden that the eldest lady Dou Li often goes to, the entire Duxiu Villa has the atmosphere of a nouveau riche.

A few days ago, this place was requisitioned by Fang Ruohua, and he took people to clean it up inside and out, and either moved many luxurious gold and silver furnishings back to the furnace for reconstruction, or moved the next place.

There is no big construction, but after people pick it up like this, and then enter and leave the yard, even the subordinates do not feel that they have become tiptoeing, and the general layout has not moved, but as soon as the trees and flowers are pruned, they have changed from clumsy children's graffiti to carefully carved beautiful pictures, which make people look at it and feel relaxed.

The wooden tables and stone benches among the trees and flowers, the occasional wood carvings, swings, random strange stones, and the lotus platform floating in the stream are simple, but every line of texture that seems to be carved at will makes people feel very comfortable.

The rockery, ponds, marshes, forests, and bamboos are cultivated, revealing harmony everywhere.

Xu Dafu himself couldn't figure out how their sixth grandmother of the Xu family could reborn their broken garden in such a short period of time, and more importantly, what did they want to do like this?

And he made those posts and invited those people to come, and he was really a little worried.

"Sixth sister, they also sent a post to the Wang family, the Wang family recently came to a distinguished guest, from the capital, that is a difficult noble son, let's not be ashamed to throw it in front of others."

"Moreover, this person's identity is special, his father is responsible for domestic iron ore mining, and our family wants to build this shipyard, and we can't avoid this person."

"He has a bit of a twisted relationship with the Wang family, maybe he has a bad feeling for us, but it's not a joke."

Hearing what Xu Dafu said, Fang Ruohua raised his eyebrows slightly: "Welcome." ”

Even if she is the master who has seen the palace night banquet in the imperial capital, she can definitely suppress these cheating methods.

As for what she wants to do?

Hmm, it's just to let the people under your hands not be idle, they all have something to do.

Only when there is something to do can the morale of the army be stable.

Furthermore, cultivate the tacit understanding of these people.

When you work together for a period of time and do something together, you will naturally become familiar with each other and know each other's personalities and ways of doing things.

Fang Ruohua himself can see it more clearly.

According to her father Fang Xiao, there is no one in the world who is unusable, and it will be used or not.

Fang Ruohua was not a very good person before, she was more suitable for being used, and now she is also forced to get used to being a superior.

After really doing it so many times, she realized that people are forced to a certain extent, and they can really do anything.

Like her, the master who didn't like to talk to people in the past and was cold when she talked to outsiders can now naturally give orders, control and manage others, and be a good superior.

Of course, the most important thing is to make money.

Of course, shipbuilding is a very profitable thing, but you must go slowly step by step, you can't run fast, you can't make quick money.

Now everything needs money, the Xu family is the richest man in Nan'an City, but Fang Ruohua is now just a concubine and daughter-in-law in their family, except for his own dowry, in principle, he can't control other people's family property at all, even if the Xu family doesn't care, Fang Ruohua himself still wants to share it clearly.

Now, she has seriously drafted a contract to lease Duxiu Villa.

Of course, the rent is not available now, and it will be deducted when the shipyard has income in the future.

Xu Dafu definitely didn't care about her, at this moment, he had no opinion on giving Duxiu Villa to Fang Ruohua, he didn't even decide how much the rent was, and Fang Ruohua filled it by himself, fifty taels of silver a month.

One rent is half a year.

Because of this price, don't be scared, Fang Ruohua only smiled: "The entertainment industry is the fastest to make money, rest assured." ”

"With my shipyard hanging in front of me as a carrot, the important characters in Nan'an City must have arrived, and when the time comes, the effect of this advertisement will be great."

"Well, in addition to the powerful, I also wrote another invitation to invite our more influential literati in Nan'an City, their mouths are very strong, and they say one sentence and others say thirty words."

Fang Ruohua carefully calculated it, and felt that he had done his best not to say anything.

"It's going to be going well, you can all rest assured."

“……”

Yegu was not at ease at all.

Fang Ruohua blinked, she actually beat a drum in her heart, she had made a lot of money for this banquet.

In order to decorate the garden and design an unconventional 'show', which is impressive, it is guaranteed that this group of ancient guests will not forget it for more than ten years, but she has filled in a lot of money that she finally deducted from the water friends in the live broadcast room.

Near the lake on the central axis of Duxiu Villa, she cleaned up, arranged countless lights, led the sailors to do the design for several days, and secretly experimented for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that there are indeed a few masters and capable people who have mastered various light show techniques among the sailors, and they are willing to work overtime and stay up late to help, Fang Ruohua alone would not have been able to design such a light show stage that bullied the ancients.

March 19.

Light rain.

On top of the tall buildings of Duxiu Villa.

Xu Dafu could see the Wang family's carriage from afar.

After a short time, as soon as the carriage stopped, a young man of twenty-two or thirteen years old came down.

He looked a little tired and a little bored.

The arrogant head of the Wang family, bent down respectfully, carefully led the son, arrived at the gate of Duxiu Villa, and said in a low voice: "The garden of the Xu family is nothing to see, the second son of the road is patient, and when the matter is over, the little one will lead you to the recreation ......"

Lu Zhong smiled slightly, and didn't speak, he was indeed a little bored, but when he looked up, he saw that even if he heard the bad words of the family master, he still didn't move, neither humble nor arrogant, and his expression was calm, so he had a good impression of this Xu family.

Although it is a merchant, it knows etiquette in the end.

All the way into the villa, the oncoming family, the maid, the maid, each performing their duties, greeted so many people, and there was no chaos at all, and every guest got the best and most comfortable hospitality.

Lu Zhong was very interested in bringing hot water to clean his face, and he was not as picky as the Wang family imagined.

also took a maid's hand, a hundred birds towards the phoenix lantern.

"Not bad."

Lu Zhong nodded with a smile, looking at the portraits of beautiful and affectionate beauties with different shapes on the lanterns, the mood of the literati was a little soothed.

Also a little interested in enjoying the garden view.

This wait-and-see smiled at Wan'er.

This Duxiu Villa is really simple and elegant, and even some of the occasional gold and jade decorations are not the actions of the nouveau riche who add snakes, but the finishing touch, making the simple things in the whole garden more lovely.

Coupled with the well-trained, eagerly just right, compared with the maids and servants elsewhere, there is a different kind of outstanding temperament, he really feels the uniqueness of Duxiu Villa.

It seems that there is really no need to listen to the slanderous words of the Wang family.

Of course, Lu Zhong doesn't feel that the merchants who are attached to their families below have their own careful thoughts, which is worth making a fuss about.

Until Lu Zhong and the head of the Wang family entered the door.

Sun Zhijie and a few other literati and scholars, either riding a high-headed horse or sitting in a car, slowly walked to the gate of Duxiu Villa, and several people were really impatient.

They are all scholars, and they don't look down on this copper-smelling merchant, if it weren't for the fact that most of the people who want to enter the garden today are the famous bigwigs in Nan'an City, they will receive posts, and they will throw garbage cans casually, and they must be impatient to deal with merchants.

But now, those nobles have arrived, and they, the literati, have received the posts but refused to come, which inevitably seems ...... Inappropriate.

Just now, the son-in-law who was so flattered by the Wang family, thought he came from the capital?

Sun Zhijie slandered, but in the end, he still understood that the powerful could not be offended, even if he was a scholar, when he should bow his head, he still had to bow his head.

They think too much, in fact, it is estimated that none of those nobles would have thought that the Xu family would have invited a group of sour Confucians to the meeting, and if they knew it, they would only think that Xu Dafu was brain pumping, and they would not care about anything else at all.

The twelve heads of the families who received the post, as well as the literati who may not be very top-notch, but have absolutely a wide range of contacts, sat down in the garden peacefully, and everyone looked leisurely.

First, the garden scenery is really good, the lake and the mountains are worth admiring.

Moreover, the people who came to the banquet naturally thought about the shipyard in their hearts, but in the end, they were at the helm of the major families, and the frizzy ones would not be able to interfere in this matter today.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has always had the tradition of talking about things at the dinner table after they are full of wine and food, and none of them will be in a hurry, they can be very stable, and at this moment, they are not in a hurry to talk about business.

Waiting for Xu Dafu to hold his slightly round belly and come over to accompany the guests with a shake, several old family owners also teased Xu Dafu in a mood: "Brother Xu, you have made such a big battle, if you don't let us have a good time, then I won't spare you." ”

Xu Dafu smiled bitterly: "I'm just a person who listens to greetings, and I don't know anything." ”

While speaking, a group of dozens of service personnel came up from the left and right, half of them were holding brushes and cinnabar in their hands, and half of them were holding red ropes in their hands. ”

The so-called ordering is to take cinnabar and put a little bit on the live fish in the selected pond, the palm-sized prawns, and the golden pheasant in the garden.

Click which, follow the service staff and the one will be taken for the guest's dinner today.
