Chapter 148: The Four Great Families
Yuan Zhenguo naturally agreed with Xiaodao's idea, Li Longgui knew the wealthy businessmen of Beifang City very well, and the errand of inviting the wealthy businessmen to participate in the Beifang Chamber of Commerce organized by Xiaodao naturally fell on him.
At the beginning of summer, fruits quench thirst, and Xiaodao ordered people to prepare all kinds of fruits, as well as boiled beef, and high-quality wine.
The venue for the banquet was on General Yuan's mansion! Li Longgui was already standing at the door waiting for the arrival of the distinguished guests.
"Li Dutong, I will be glad to meet!" The person who came was outside the Chen Yuanwai of Beifang City, who looked rich and noble, he had a lot of fields in his family, and he was a landowner who collected rents, and he was usually willing to give charity, and he would reduce or reduce the rent in case of natural and man-made disasters.
"Chen Yuanwai, you're here! Welcome!" Li Longgui greeted him, after all, Chen Yuanwai was one of the four major families in Beifang City.
"I heard that the new general is the civil and military prince of Ruiguo, which is really a blessing for the northern defense city!" Chen Yuanwai said with a smile.
"That's true, Chen Yuan, please go outside and inside. Li Longgui arched his hand.
"Li Dutong!Haha, I was out a few days ago and was not at home, and I heard the housekeeper say that you were invited, so I won't rush over right away!" shopkeeper Li walked over with a smile on his face. He is also one of the four major families, but he is known as the 'Smiling Tiger', and he smiles at everyone, and it is difficult to say when it is true and when it is false, don't look at him who is fat and short, and his appearance is average. Almost all of the more famous wine shops and inns in Beifang City are his.
"It's really good that Shopkeeper Li is willing to appreciate his face, how dare I invite you to a banquet! It's our general who invites you!" Li Longgui knew that Shopkeeper Li was a person, and he just said politely to him.
"I must have thanked the general in person, I heard that the general helped me find my exquisite jade pagoda, is it true?" The most important purpose of Shopkeeper Li's visit this time was to get back his beloved exquisite jade pagoda.
"That's true! ”
Shopkeeper Li just walked in, Boss Yang came over, speaking of Boss Yang, it is much more pleasing to the eye than Shopkeeper Li, especially dressed, unassuming, unobtrusive and noble, always just right! The silk business in Beifang City is his, and the Yang family's dyeing house is also famous.
"Li Dutong, let's meet again!" Boss Yang arched.
"Boss Yang, please come soon, Chen Yuanwai and Shopkeeper Li are already inside. "These three people are all one of the four major families, and they usually have dealings with each other.
"Okay, good!" Boss Yang politely walked in.
"Oops! Ye Shaoqing is here!" Li Longgui muttered to himself and trotted over.
"Li Dutong, don't come to harm!" Ye Shaoqing is a famous beauty in Beifang City, not only looks better than Tianxian, but also the head of the four major families, runs the largest silver village in Beifang City, and the semicolon is all over Ruiguo, Ye Siniang's own sister, but ten years younger than Ye Siniang, is still single, she is followed by two guards, tall, with a convex forehead, and looks like a practitioner.
"Miss Ye is here, it's an honor!" Li Longgui's face turned red when he spoke, and he couldn't wait to ask more, are you a fairy who came down from the sky?
"Li Dutong is polite!"
"Miss Ye, please!" The people in Beifang City all called Ye Shaoqing to be Miss Ye, although she was the boss lady, but the three words 'boss lady' showed her old age!
Then Lu Dayong, Jiang Fengzhu, He Shaocang, Miao Ruojun, Deng Suo, and Zhao Xian also arrived, they are all rich masters, but they are also all grass on the wall, they have already arrived, and they only came out when they saw from a distance that the people of the four major families had gone in.
"Everyone, please!" Li Yungui said casually, and then walked in first, he also looked down on these six people, but the general invited them to come when he had an order.
Fufu, Monk with Empty Belly, Zhang Niu, and Li Xiaomu also sat on the seats, and as soon as the people arrived, the knife came out.
"See the general!" Li Longgui took the lead in saluting.
"See the general!" everyone hurriedly got up and shouted, and was about to kneel and salute, when they were stopped by the knife: "Don't talk about state affairs today, you don't need to salute!"
"General Xie!"
"Ah Niu, go and take out the Qiankun bag!" shouted the knife, and Zhang Niu walked into the back room.
"Qiankun bag, isn't that Miss Ye's treasure? I heard that the exquisite jade pagoda, the pearl of the cold northern night, the golden bracelet, the vase of ten thousand flowers, etc., have all been recovered, the general is really powerful!"
"It's not easy to snatch the treasure back from the hands of the people of the Mountain Field!"
"That's right, our treasure has been recovered!"
Lu Dayong, Jiang Fengzhu, He Shaocang, Miao Ruojun, Deng Suo, Zhao Xian and others were talking softly.
At this time, Zhang Niu had already come out with a Qiankun bag and handed it to the knife.
"I heard that these treasures are all your beloved things, and the general didn't dare to stay more after getting them, so I invite you to come today, the first thing is to return them to their original owners!"
"The general is not only strong, but also open-minded, I admire it, Chen thank you general!" Chen Yuanwai bowed his hand and bent down.
"You are Chen Yuanwai, I heard Li Yungui say you, what you lost is this vase?"
"Ah!" Chen Yuanwai couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the vase, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's the vase!"
"Ah Niu, send it to Chen Yuanwai!"
The moment Chen Yuanwai took the vase from Zhang Niu's hand, he was so excited that he burst into tears, and looked at it carefully over and over again, just like finding his own son who had not been born for many years.
"Who is this Linglong Jade Pagoda!" Xiao Dao was holding the Linglong Jade Pagoda in his hand, he knew that it was Shopkeeper Li, but he asked deliberately.
"General, General, this is mine, this is mine!" Shopkeeper Li was anxious, stepped forward, and was stopped by Zhang Niu.
"Ah Niu, don't stop it! Shopkeeper Li, come, give it to you, and return it to its original owner!" The knife handed the exquisite jade pagoda to Shopkeeper Li.
"General Xie, General Xie!" shopkeeper Li said excitedly while holding the exquisite jade pagoda. He is doing the business of wine shop inn, this exquisite jade pagoda is his treasure of fortune, ten years ago after getting the exquisite jade pagoda, the business is getting bigger and bigger, since the Linglong jade pagoda is gone, the heart is always empty.
"Boss Yang, is this golden bracelet yours?" asked the knife. The gold bracelet is made of pure gold, but the craftsmanship is incredible, and it is engraved with a map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, which cannot be seen by the naked eye!
"It's Yang's gold bracelet, which is not a treasure in the first place, but the insider has always carried it, and after being robbed, he is not used to it, and he nagged in my ear every day, thank you for saving my ear, otherwise I would have to deaf her!" Boss Yang stood up and said with a smile.
"Boss Yang is a bold person, and General Ben likes to make such friends. Ah Niu, send the golden bracelet to Boss Yang!"
"Thank you for the general's praise! General Xie!" said Boss Yang bowed and saluted.
"This Cold North Night Pearl is really rare in the world, Miss Ye, is this yours?" The knife held the Cold North Night Pearl in his left hand, half the size of a palm.
