Chapter 70: The Feast
"Haha! Adults are really talented, Si heard that a big gambling house was being built, but he didn't expect it to be an adult's idea. ”
Ouyang was ashamed and said: "Xiaocai, partial talent." Brother Si don't want to be an adult, everyone is Han, if you don't dislike calling me Brother Ou Xian. ”
"How can this be done, adults are ...... parents of one party" Si Kan saw that Ouyang was embarrassed, and he also changed his mouth quickly: "Brother Ou Xian." ”
"Brother Si, I think I have to visit the Order Hall first." Ouyang felt so sour.
"Thank you Brother Xian for your concern, please come here."
Although Si Mu is relatively old, Ouyang can still see that she must have a little bit of a look when she was young. Si Mu is much worse than Si Kan, she doesn't know how to speak, and she doesn't know what to say. It only entertains guests, and not only that, but it also seems very reserved. Ouyang also casually said hello and went out of the house with Si Kan, and Si Kan saluted: "Brother Xian, I don't know if I will be free tomorrow night?" ”
"Yes, I'm idle." It's really idle now, but it's busy in a few days.
"Tomorrow night, my father will have a banquet, and each of our sons will find a friend to accompany us."
Ouyang Yi listened to it and asked, "Do you still have this rule in your family?" ”
"Brother Xian doesn't know...... "It turns out that the Si family is choosing an heir, although the Si family is not the richest man, but it is also quite imposing. The family is big and the industry is big, there are industries all over the Liao country, and after the Jin country occupied Tokyo, he was also polite to the Si family. Now there is a tea franchise in Liao, and it is not too much to say that it is the first merchant in Liao. When choosing an heir, naturally you will not choose a concubine, and concubines are generally a foil. And the Si family has a tradition of choosing an heir, that is, to look at the friends of the succession candidate first. There are four candidates, which of course is not the responsibility of the surveyor, but he also has to join in the fun. And Si Kan has been doing business in other places all the year round, and when it comes to Linhuang Mansion, most of them are friends with wine and meat vocal music, and they can't be on the stage. Now that Ouyang has sent it to the door, this is the champion of Jinke, how can he not let Ouyang earn some face for himself at the family banquet.
Si Kan said frankly, Ouyang did not refuse, and arched his hand: "I will be on time tomorrow." But...... Don't have too much hope for me, I'm a parallel import, and I can't get rid of it. ”
……
"The junior Ouyang, a native of Hangzhou, has seen Master Si." Ouyang gave a big gift to the elders.
Master Si looks like he is in his prime, but he is obviously very well maintained and full of energy. Seeing Ouyang's etiquette, he was very satisfied with this etiquette and nodded twice, but when he heard Ouyang say his name. Puzzled, he asked, "Ouyang?" Does the name sound familiar? ”
Ouyang Khan, this old guy is indeed a little interesting, and his hands have risen to the Song Dynasty. Ouyang hurriedly said: "The name of the younger generation is also the compound surname of others. ”
"Yes! Sit aside. ”
"Master Xie Si." Ouyang and Si Kan went to the eighth position on the right and sat down.
The Sijia banquet is a small table, with two people at one table. As for the daughter, it did not appear. Master Si sat with his wife and two wives. At that time, it was called Mrs. Left and Right, and the title of flat wife had not yet appeared, but that was what it meant.
I call myself Brother Sharp, that's. But Ouyang felt that this old man was a bit of a sharp brother. As he spoke, his eyes wandered around, observing the behavior of his group of sons. The first four dishes were served and then stopped, and there was silence in the hall. Master Si coughed and cleared his throat and said, "Boss, tell me what you have done in the past year?" ”
"This year...... "The eldest is in his fifties, and he sweats when he is asked. Do? What else can you do? Isn't it just eating, drinking, and having fun. I want to run my family's business, but do you let me?
"I'm asking your friend, see if your friend knows what you've done this year?"
The friend brought by the boss, he didn't have to say anything about his appearance, and he was also stunned on the spot when he was asked: Day, Lao Tzu was hired to support people, how do you know these Lao Tzu? He prepared a stomach full of good words, but he didn't expect to be blocked back by the first question.
The old man shook his head and motioned for the boss and his friend to sit. Then ask all the way down. It's either a question and a little bit of ignorance, or it's just having fun. None of my friends could say what their son had done this year. The old man was extremely disappointed.
When it was Si Kan's turn, Ouyang stood up and said, "Brother Si is a business in a different place, and I don't know in the first half of last year." Brother Si and I met in Yangping County in the second half of the year. To say that Brother Si's character is really wanted, he spent 600 yuan to buy a few acres of land, and also gave these fields to the local free school, which can be described as immeasurable. ”
"Oh? And why haven't I heard about it? Master Si asked, "Si Kan, why did you come up with that unjust money?" 600 guan, I'm afraid it's your business income for two years a year, right? ”
Si Kan got up and replied, "Back to my father's words." A few years ago, the child was in Yang's parallel business, not to mention being robbed of goods by horse bandits, and begging for help from the Yamen, then Liu Sinu also insulted the villain in every way. This time in Shanggu, I heard that Yangping Zhixian not only arrested 30 bandits, but also imprisoned Liu Sinu and set up a free literacy school, and the child thought that he should pay the money. ”
"Well, you're doing a great job. Our family needs to be benevolent for the sake of wealth. Master Si nodded and said smoothly: "Our Si family also has some contacts with the Song court, Liu Sinu I know, although she is not a great person, but this county is not afraid of the consequences and does things decisively, and has the heart to run a school...... By the way, what is the name of the county? ”
"......" Si Kan Khan, glanced at Ouyang and stammered and replied: "Go back...... When he replied to his father's words, the child did not inquire. ”
Ouyang stood up and replied: "If you go back to the master, the county name is Gan, and the single name is a letter." It is a native of Yangping. Married to the daughter of the Su family, a large local family. ”
"Well, the afterlife is terrifying." Master Si touched his beard, motioned for the two to sit down with his left hand, and continued to ask down. Ouyang sweated in his heart, this Liao country must know that there is a great Song Dynasty champion Jiazhi County to travel here, and he will definitely fight his own ideas, at least he will be named a spy.
The next meal was even more tasteless, and it was difficult for Master Si to remember the names of so many sons, and ask them one by one, how is his grandson, and so on. Ouyang Man sympathizes with this old man, several candidates are all straw bales, but a few concubines are good, and they can barely get on the stage.
……
A dinner party that seemed to be an episode did not delay the progress of construction. According to Ouyang's thinking, the sauna, massage, roulette, poker, and dice areas must be erected before they can be opened, and the racecourse is given priority to waitlist, while other facilities can be added slowly. And on the day of the opening, the on-site prize must not be missing. Xiao Ganyun thought so, the small bricks of more than 4,000 catties he ordered had been transported, and no one knew what these things were used for, so people thought they were a pile of garbage.
To say that the ancient architecture is relatively simple, the strength of the number of people, in less than a month, the casino has begun to take shape. At this time, Ouyang began to be busy, what was he busy with? Training.
