The second volume is surging, thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River Chapter 220 One Night Fish and Dragon Dance (1)
Nangong Wan has been preparing for the birthday banquet since the beginning of February, the banquet of sixty Jiazi, for the Nangong family, it is also the most important thing this year, the banquet is set at home, naturally Nangong Jing said that there is something to announce, but as for what it is, he doesn't say it, naturally no one dares to ask.
"Have you sent all the invitations yet?"
"You go and send these, stay these and I'll go personally."
"Is the chef in the restaurant here? Try the dishes tonight......"
"Put things in the front yard, Steward Wu, you are responsible for the front yard related matters......
Nangong Wan stood on the top of the steps, and there were dozens of people standing below, all of whom were the shopkeepers and stewards of the Nangong family, Nangong Wan held a notebook, which marked in detail the division of labor and docking matters of all the people, these problems have been said in advance, and when I called me over today, I want to tell you again, so as not to disclose that the birthday banquet ten years ago was not large, only good people came, and ten tables of banquets were enough, and she was still young at that time.
The current Nangong family is very different from ten years ago, the banquet has a full 168 tables, and the lowest invitation is also a figure with a face in Jinling, and the political, business, and literary circles have divided the seats according to human lives, and the preparation time of more than half a month is also a little stretched.
"Is it clear to everyone? Tomorrow morning, it will start, I will be at the door, if there is something I don't understand, just go to the door to find me. After Wang Ruoyan confirmed the division of labor for the last time, he shouted with his hands on his waist.
"Understood...... everyone said in unison.
Many of the people in the audience are the old people of the Nangong family, Wang Ruoyan will naturally be thoughtful when arranging work, the front hall is a gift, the middle hall is a place to rest and meet guests, the backyard is vacated, one hundred and sixty-eight tables are all arranged in the backyard and the private room on the second floor, against the back wall is the stage, please all the people in the pear garden, and all the top cards in the Qinhuai Eighteen Orchestra will also appear, after the banquet, these people will stay, it depends on the situation, and Bai Yiyi is the finale.
Nangong Wan remembered the little between Nangong Yaowen and Bai Yiyi, and was angry, and was thinking about going to Nangong Yaowen to explain, tonight is a big matter, don't mess around, just took two steps, and was stopped by Steward Wu.
"How?"
"That's naturally foolproof, as long as this glass of wine is drunk, whatever you say, that's what it is." He Youguang smiled and stuffed a packet of medicinal powder to Nangong Yaowen.
Nangong Yaowen also smiled, put the medicinal powder into his sleeve, his eyes wandered, as if he had seen Bai Yiyi lying on the bed at his mercy: "Okay, okay, the rest of the matter will be handed over to you, if it is done, the two docks will be yours." ”
"If the business is not business, I will talk about it later, the top priority, I have to go quickly." He Youguang said with a smile.
The entire Nangong Mansion was bustling, and He Youguang was just the tip of the iceberg among the busy people.
Jiang Ning and Wang Ruoyan prepared gifts, set off early in the carriage, and after completing this matter, they can return to Hangzhou one day, the business of the hot pot restaurant and the silk village has been stabilized, just leave the two shopkeepers to take care of, as long as they maintain normal operation, it should not be a problem to open two branches, this matter is a drop in the bucket with the Nangong family, plus the relationship between the two families, if it is not too much, it will not turn against each other.
At least Jiang Ning and Wang Ruoyan think so, at Jiang Ning's insistent request, Wang Ruoyan has agreed to use one-third of the annual gross profit to buy shops or land, mainly commercial land, in addition to losses, this policy must be implemented for at least ten years, the purchased land can be rented out, can also be used for personal use, but it is absolutely not allowed to be sold.
Although Wang Ruoyan also felt that the more land the better, but there was no need for this, but under Jiang Ning's repeated insistence, she had to compromise, after all, Jiang Ning left her a talent in business, which was very unique, and even Princess Changping's Liu Ji this time was also called the east wind of the hot pot restaurant, otherwise when these two restaurants were successful, it would take at least half a year, and they would have to stay here for half a year longer.
Just turn the street, you see the whole line within a few miles are full of lights, if it is not already the first month, but also thought that it is the New Year's season, the original spacious street is blocked by water, Jiangning's carriage since it arrived on the main street, it entered the ranks of the carriage of the birthday, originally a quarter of an hour to arrive, now blocked for half an hour, there is more than half of the distance.
Jiang Ning and Wang Ruoyan simply got off the carriage and walked ahead, all along the way, regardless of the size of the business, the level of the official, the talent and the lack of learning, they all came to celebrate the birthday, or celebrity calligraphy and painting, or bronze cultural relics, or silk silk, or jade pearls, all strange, all-inclusive.
Wang Ruoyan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The first in the Nangong family and the first in Hangzhou can be regarded as a lesson today." ”
Wang Ruoyan has had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and when he saw this kind of battle of the Nangong family, he was also very emotional, and his luxury can be seen.
After walking for half an hour, I finally arrived in front of Nangong Mansion, and some of the people who congratulated the birthday had invitations in their hands, and they had to check them one by one before entering, Nangong Wan stood in the door, and greeted these people who came to congratulate the birthday one by one.
"Sister Ruoyan, Gongzi Jiang ......" Nangong Wan waved her hand at Jiang Ning and Wang Ruoyan, signaling that the two of them didn't have to line up and came in directly.
Wang Ruoyan and Jiang Ning met, holding the birthday post, and entered the door, but heard Nangong Wan say: "If I let the carriage pick you up, but I really don't have the skills, don't be surprised......"
Wang Ruoyan said with a smile: "Where is this, my sister can't help, it's already ashamed, how dare you bother my sister to mobilize the public?" ”
Nangong Wan was about to speak again, but someone came in again, Jiang Ning hurriedly said, "Let's go in first, and you sisters will catch up in a while." ”
Wang Ruoyan nodded, Nangong Wan also nodded, and went to get busy again, Jiang Ning and Wang Ruoyan came to Nangong Mansion, went straight to the backyard, and sat down directly, it was almost noon at the moment, and the table was a fine food, and since Jiang Ning entered the backyard, he could see the stage of twenty zhang square, and Shengdan Jingmo Chou had already begun to perform, although Jiang Ning didn't know much about opera, but he also knew that at this time opera had not yet been divided into obvious types, but the singing tones were different between regions, and I listened to it for a while, I heard that this scene was singing about Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall.
"Isn't this Jiangning's great talent?" Someone walked by and recognized Jiang Ninglai, who was sitting on the right side of the front row on the first floor.
Jiang Ning frowned slightly, and before he could speak, he saw Nangong Yaowen coming from not far away: "Yo? Cousin Ruoyan, when did you arrive? ”
Wang Ruoyan got up and blessed slightly: "I've seen the eldest prince." ”
Nangong Yaowen hurriedly beckoned his hand, asked Wang Ruoyan to sit down, and then turned his head and said unhappily: "A few of you, I opened my eyes today, this is my cousin and husband from Hangzhou, if you don't have long eyes, don't blame me for being unkind." ”
Those people hurriedly apologized and walked away quickly, but Nangong Yaowen sat on Wang Ruoyan's left side and said with a smile: "How is it?" Are you satisfied with the dim sum? ”
Wang Ruoyan nodded and smiled: "The eldest prince has bothered, and he came here today, which can be regarded as a long experience." ”
"Haha......" Nangong Yaowen said with a smile: "Originally, it was going to be open for three days, but later, my father didn't let it, saying that Lord Taishou hadn't opened for three days, and our Nangong family couldn't set this precedent, so it was compressed into one day, and after a while, when the people were almost there, the banquet was opened, and my cousin waited here for a while, and I went and went back." ”
Wang Ruoyan got up and said, "The eldest prince is busy, I have nothing to do with Xianggong." ”
