Hearing Zhu Zixu ask him what he meant by "acquaintances and distinguished guests", Xing Yusheng smiled and began to explain to him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Acquaintances! It's someone who has a good relationship with you. People are close to each other, distant and close. Bringing people who have a good relationship to your table can be understood. But you're new here, do you have any acquaintances?"

"Tie Zhutou, who is also the protagonist, has taught me for so long; those people at the Fumen Inn have known each other since the first day, and they are all very enthusiastic and have all instructed me; there are also Zhao Da and Wang Shan, it is not easy for these two people to carry me for a ride; and Liu Deren, it is very hard for people to repair this yard. When I first came here, I knew these people, if I could, I would invite them all, right?" Alas, I don't know the place well. You can't even call people for a treat.

"Iron catcher, that's a must. People from Fumen Inn can also be invited. Zhao Dawang Mountain?" Xing Yusheng thought of the situation of the two of them and shook his head, "Their lives have not been good lately!"

"What's wrong?"

"Their master and backer, Zheng Zhutou, died. Do you think they're going to get better?"

"No, it's not like that! Zheng Zhutou is dead, at most find another backer! What's the big deal?"

"You're thinking too simply. Zheng Zhutou's status at that time was not low. The two of them followed Zheng Zhutou, as confidants and apprentices, and the treatment was naturally not much worse. Now that Zheng Zhutou is dead, where can they find such a good backer? Okay, they can't look down on him, and they can't look down on the worse. If you can't go up or down, you're aggrieved. ”

Hearing the situation of the two, Zhu Zixu thought about it and decided to invite, "Then let's please." It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. These two people look pretty good, but now it's just a temporary predicament. In case someone is developed, I don't care, you can also get married. ”

A hint of emotion flashed in Xing Yusheng's eyes, and he nodded silently.

Seeing Xing Yusheng agree, Zhu Zixu suddenly remembered a question, "Old Xing, has your apprentice found it?"

"Found it!"

"When the time comes to send him two invitations, let your apprentice go. What do you think?"

"Okay!" Xing Yusheng pondered for a moment, understood what Zhu Zixu meant, and readily agreed. Secretly gave a thumbs up.

"By the way, Liu Deren, are you still invited?" Zhu Zixu thought of the person who impressed him again. I secretly said in my heart, did he do the blessing ceremony, why didn't I feel it?

"Please! Liujiacun has been commended by his superiors. Liu Deren himself is also a model of morality and has a lot of prestige in the county. ”

"I don't have any acquaintances here. Where's your side?"

"I'm not the main character. You should ask the Iron Catcher. See who he needs to invite. ”

"Okay!" Zhu Zixu nodded, "Distinguished guest, what do you mean?"

"It's a distinguished guest. ”

"Who, please?"

"Lou Zhi County, plus the county's high-grade officials. But that's not a good please. The limelight has been too tight lately. ”

"Well, I don't know. Let's leave it to the iron catcher. Is there anyone else?" Zhu Zixu pursed his lips secretly disdainfully, and asked me to invite them to dinner as a "little prince", can they afford it? Is there still a risk?

"I can't say anything else. Xing Yusheng hesitated for a moment and made a suggestion, "Why don't you invite those wealthy gentry and businessmen in the town as well?"

"What are you asking them to do?" Zhu Zixu frowned.

"Invite the gentry to give them some face, so that we can do our work in the future, and invite rich businessmen to raise their status, which will help us attract sponsorship in the future." ”

"Pull sponsorship?" Zhu Zixu looked at Xing Yusheng in disbelief, "The county is so poor that this one?"

"No! no!" Xing Yusheng waved his hand, "The main thing is that everyone does this. We're no exception. Besides, if we pull sponsorship, we will have more subsidies. Who's sick of money?"

Zhu Zixu's face was black. I wanted to refuse, after all, I didn't need this. But as soon as he saw Xing Yusheng, he secretly wondered in his heart, he didn't care, but Lao Xing was going to be here for the rest of his life. If you don't invite you, you are a newcomer, and that's fine--after all, those who don't know are not guilty; but what about Lao Xing? He is an old man here, and he is still in charge of this matter--isn't all this resentment directed at him? You can't be so selfish!

Thinking of this, Zhu Zixu nodded, "Okay." Lao Xing, do you think there is anything else to invite? It is better to invite more than to omit invitations. ”

Xing Yusheng thought for a while, "The rest is gone!"

"Don't think about saving me money, what's missing. Zhu Zixu asked uneasily. Don't be negligent for a while, Lao Xing will be unlucky in the end.

Xing Yusheng thought about it, and invited the Fumen Inn; Mrs. Qian, the shopkeeper of the money, is considered a wealthy businessman; the Hengshan faction, there are Xiaobei and Dong shopkeepers, just mention it; the White Horse Academy, the people are considered to be wealthy gentry and celebrities; as for the underworld, forget it! He nodded secretly and said with certainty, "It's really gone! I'm sure!"

"Okay!" Zhu Zixu was still a little uneasy in his heart. But Lao Xing himself was sure, and it was inconvenient to insist. Then he asked, "Is there anything else?"

"There are also some chores, such as hiring a cook, hiring a servant, buying utensils, buying ingredients, and so on. Xing Yusheng closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, and found that after the participants were confirmed, there were some chores left that Zhu Zixu couldn't help with, so he waved his hand, "These, I'll do it alone." Originally, you also had to be responsible for giving money. But now that the money has been given, nothing has happened to you. ”

"Can you do it alone? Why don't I do something for you? I can't just wait to eat, that's not good!" Zhu Zixu had a "bodhisattva heart". After calculating Lao Xing before, he was quite proud at first; but after the discussion just now, his mood gradually calmed down, and he also calmed down; at this time, thinking that Lao Xing was busy with so many things alone, his compassion began to attack, and he felt that it was very undesirable to let Lao Xing fight alone, and it was not in line with his own principles of being a man, so he decided to help Lao Xing share a part.

Xing Yusheng was busy with this kind of thing for the first time, and he was a little drumming in his heart. But when he heard that Zhu Zixu wanted to help, he was a little unhappy, feeling that he was looking down on himself. can hear the latter words, and then look at Zhu Zixu's expression, and understand that he sincerely wants to help. But the man can't say he can't do it, and shook his head, "No need." I can do it alone. If you really want to help, go and convince the Iron Catcher. Let him invite a 'distinguished guest'!"

"Oh!

The two of them finished deliberating. Xing Yu didn't eat any food, so he ran to prepare.

And Zhu Zixu, except for going out in the afternoon to get the Jiupin head-catching suit, has been thinking about the rhetoric of seeing Tie Youxia tomorrow.

The next day, after Tie Youxia assigned a task to Zhu Zixu, he was just about to leave when he was stopped by Zhu Zixu.

"Brother Tie, wait a minute. There's something I'd like to talk to you about. ”
