The specific process of discussing the world's major events in Luan's house, the moment the old gentleman left the Luan family's mansion, he couldn't remember it clearly. He asked his eldest grandson sideways, but the eldest grandson also shook his head with a sad face, saying that he couldn't think of anything.

The two of them just vaguely remembered that the lights in the Luan family's house were dim, and it was difficult to see the five fingers when they stretched out their hands, so they could only grope and stumble in. And in the courtyard of the Luan family's house, there are no dozens of servants in the courtyard of Ruru's own house-after walking a hundred steps, except for the young maid who showed them the way at the gate of the mansion at the beginning, there is not even a single person.

It wasn't until the main room that the two of them heard a faint 'please come in', wafting out of the house and reaching their ears.

The grandson of the Xu family immediately stepped forward, carefully opened the two paper doors, and looked into the house.

In the square room, there was a feminine woman with a green jade pipe in her fingers, sitting idly behind a low desk with a celadon ashtray. On her white and snowy keto body, she casually wore a golden silk robe, which seemed to be half-covered and half-exposed, ready to come out, but she was also generous and did not refuse to come.

I also saw a scarlet hairpin passing through the green silk behind her, and the hairpin tail had five feathers, which were green, red, white, black, and yellow, and a few points of fire lit up from the oil lamp on the wall, reflecting her eyebrows and red lips even more delicately.

Its posture and color, if you look at it separately, it must be glamorous and enchanting, much better than the Oiran head card in the capital, but if you take half a step back and only look at the person, you will unexpectedly perceive an indifferent quiet beauty, which makes people lose their blood and strength for a moment, and calm down.

So, when the woman smiled at them, the young and old of the Xu family immediately bowed, sat down respectfully on the table, and discussed with her about the future affairs of the world.

The next thing I remember is that at this moment, my head is standing at the door of the Luan family's house empty.

However, although the two of them were indeed empty at this time, it was not for nothing.

Mr. Xu slowly lowered his head and looked at his right hand.

I saw that in the palm of the old hand, which was as new as a withered tree, he held a long yellow flag that was rolled up.

The old gentleman, who still remembered that he came empty-handed, frowned slightly, and slowly stretched the yellow flag.

'Xujia Business Bureau'.

Above the yellow flag, there are four characters in black font.

The old gentleman was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly showed great joy, his hands tightly clenched the yellow flag covering his face, and his mouth could not help but say 'good, good, good!'.

Seeing that his grandfather was so happy, the grandson of the Xu family beside him also looked at the yellow flag in his hand, wanting to see what was wonderful about this disguise - but he didn't figure out why it was for a long time. The eldest grandson had to put on a puzzled look from the second monk, and muttered and asked, "Weng Weng, what's so good about this broken flag?"

"Hey!" saw that the old gentleman hurriedly waved his sleeves to cover his mouth, frowned and scolded: "Children must not talk nonsense." ”

The eldest grandson blinked, although he didn't understand the reason, but seeing that his grandfather was so excited, he didn't say anything more, just raised his hand and scratched his neck, and whispered a few words, 'I know, I know'.

Although the grandfather and grandson were smiling and sorrowful, they did not get the fruit of their joy, but there was no reason to stay too much at the door of Luan's house. So, after thanking the janitor of the Luan family, the two walked all the way back home - the head of the Xu family, who had to be supported by his eldest grandson when he came, walked in a hurry, leaving his young and strong grandson behind, and said breathlessly, "Slow down, Weng Weng slow!"

And when the two of them returned to the house quietly, the old gentleman immediately called dozens of family members up and down the Xu family, none of them were bad, and asked them all to sit in a circle and take a good look at the flag he brought back - naturally, the Xu family, who had never been to the Luan family, was also like the eldest grandson, and they looked at and even pulled this cover many times after turning over and over, but they still didn't know what the mystery was, and they were all confused.

But just when everyone looked at each other, they suddenly heard the old gentleman laugh a few times, squinted and said, "You don't understand, right? But you can listen well, this cover is the life-saving straw for our Xu family for the next hundred years! Why don't you hurry up and hang it at the door of the business bureau, and remember to take good care of it every day in the future! Don't let it be dusted!"

The old gentleman's instructions were in the clouds, but he didn't explain the reason at all. As soon as the old master's voice fell, the Xu family members hurriedly held this pretense with both hands, ran outside the house in three steps and two steps, stepped on the bench, and quickly replaced the original big red flag.

When everything was done, the old gentleman smiled contentedly, took the white porcelain teacup, and tasted the tea leisurely - in the days that followed, the old gentleman never mentioned this pretense again, nor did he worry about any big dreams changing the sky. Even though the master told him that the performance of the business bureau this year was bad again, the old master, who always looked anxious in the past, lay down on the couch and asked the master to hum him the most popular song in the city recently.

Seeing that the old master's temperament has changed greatly, everyone in the Xu family naturally discussed in private: I heard the eldest daughter say that her father was old and frail and couldn't afford the joys and sorrows, so he wanted to be a shopkeeper; ？

So, although the Xu family had a lot of incomprehension and doubts about the pretense, in the next ten years, they still followed the instructions of the old family owner to take care of the pretense.

In the past ten years, the stars have changed, and the world has changed greatly. First of all, the Great Dream annexed the True Dragon Guxian and became a great unified dynasty without any ancients; and then the Great Dream touched the Western Regions, and the Zhong Family Commercial Bureau 'Zhongyin Pavilion' in Lanting City next door sprung up, and gradually came from behind, making the business of other commercial bureaus more and more difficult to do, and the Xu Family Commercial Bureau was naturally no exception, and it was about to become a loss-making business.

I really don't know what the use of this disguise is.

The eldest grandson of the family, who was already in his thirties, sighed, looked at the eighty-year-old old man on the sickbed, and wanted to ask something about the future direction of the business situation, but he was worried that the old and frail grandfather would not be able to bear much thought, so he finally did not open his mouth and sighed softly.

But he suddenly felt an old but warm palm on his forehead.

"Shut down the business bureau. ”

These were the last words of the old master before he passed away.
