Chapter 478 New Force Appears
In addition, Quan Feng's family's property is the property of Lou Tongzhi's family. He dare not publicize it. In order to avoid it, Lou Tongzhi's family's property is mainly in specialty products, livestock trading, livestock breeding, and fine tools. It cleverly avoids the Liu family's property and the government's industry. In recent years, it has been quite comfortable. Two years ago, Lou Tongzhi's family built a large garden, which cost some money.
Behind them were some little-known people who were not well-known, but they were all members of the Chamber of Commerce, big and small, each of them could occupy a piece of land. After they entered, they came one after another for about three or four hours, and all the people arrived.
After Wang Qian entered, he saw Wan Hu standing next to Lou Tongzhi, standing up and bowing. Wang Qian entered and smiled slightly at Lou Tongzhi.
"Congratulations, sir, I am glad you are healthy."
After hearing this, Lou Tongzhi also nodded.
"Forget it. There is no need for any formalities today. It is just a gathering of family friends to celebrate my son's birthday. If I take off my official uniform, I am no longer an adult."
The Wanhu people nearby are all people who have been doing business for a long time, so they cannot avoid some formalities.
"What are you talking about, sir? Whether you take off your official uniform or not, you are still a sir in my eyes. Sir, a few years ago, a place called Yanwei Tower appeared in Jinling. It is said that the embroiderers in the tower embroider very delicately. A few days ago, I sent someone to take a look. They dragged back some cloth and checked it out. It was indeed a good material. I specially sent some to the old lady, the lady, the girls, the master and the son in the family. I hope that Lord Lou can accept it."
Lou Tongzhi glanced at him and closed his eyes. How could he mention the gift in public? Lou Tongzhi's eyes were filled with displeasure. Wan Hu was just that kind of person. He would talk about everything in public. As long as he had done something himself, he would not push it onto others.
Wang Qian, who was standing nearby, almost laughed out loud when he heard this, and immediately went over to pour a glass of wine for Lou Tongzhi.
"Master, how are you? I want to win the first prize in today's wine. I wonder if you can give me face?"
The word "master" means to break away from the reputation in official circles. Just now, Lou Tongzhi said that if you take off your official uniform, you are not an official. The implication is that we should never mention smuggling today.
But Wan Hu was very anxious and wanted to win the jackpot, but he didn't expect to hit a snag.
After hearing this, Lou Tongzhi immediately picked up the wine glass in his hand.
"Since it was given by Miss Qian, there is no reason not to drink it."
As he said this, he drank it all in one gulp. Wang Qian refilled the glass. Lou Tongzhi and Wang Qian continued to talk to each other.
"Aunt Mo An, are you feeling better?"
Wang Qian shook his head behind him.
"The report from the capital said that the emperor had ordered the imperial physician to check, but he still couldn't find out what was wrong. The old ancestor has been recuperating in the imperial temple these days. I think with the imperial physician by his side, it will only be a temporary thing. But a few days ago, he said he could eat porridge and rice. I thought that since he could eat, he was almost well."
Lou Tongzhi listened nearby and stroked his beard. He was thinking in his heart, if Aunt Mo An died, what would the Tea King family do next?
"Aunt is doing well, and I feel relieved. I have been in Gusu all this time, and have not been able to go to Beijing to visit her. I just hope Miss Qian can say a few good words to her, and mention her nephew more in the letters she sends to me. Say a few good words to me, so that I can also benefit from Aunt Mo An's blessing."
After hearing this, Miss Qian nodded.
"That's natural."
As they talked, the two of them drank another glass of wine. Wan Hu next to them lowered his head, and the two of them left him aside.
When Miss Qian stepped forward to pour the wine, Master Liu came in from behind. Seeing Master Liu come in, Lou Tongzhi also stood up, and the two people next to him bowed deeply to Master Liu.
Mr. Liu ran forward and came over to Lou Tongzhi to help him sit down.
"Today is the Master's birthday. Please forgive me for being late."
Mr. Liu is worthy of his reputation. He has been doing business for many years. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Tongzhi Lou was not wearing official uniform. He was naturally happy about this.
Lou Tongzhi laughed beside him.
"Brother Shengjun, what are you talking about? We are all celebrating together today. If you say something like that, it would be a little strange."
Mr. Liu, whose real name is Liu Tong, also known by his courtesy name Shengjun.
After hearing this, Mr. Liu held his beard and laughed, then picked up the wine glass beside him and poured himself a glass.
"It's my fault, it's my fault. I came late today. I will punish myself with a drink. I will punish myself with a drink."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp. Wan Hu and Wang Qian next to him looked at the scene and smiled beautifully.
"Master Liu, you are a step late. Not only are you behind Master Lou, but you are also behind the two of us. You should drink three cups as punishment."
Wang Qianjia was originally a nun. Although she lived in a nunnery, she was very worldly-wise and smooth in her dealings with others.
Master Liu heard this.
"Miss Qian, you are worthy of being Miss Qian. When she speaks, no one dares to disobey her. Three cups is three cups. But Brother Wan, how can you just stand there and watch? You took the lead, but you didn't say a few good words for us in front of the master. Don't you really deserve to be punished?"
After listening to the speech, Wan Hu probably understood the logic. Just now it was just a conversation between Miss Qian and the two of them, which completely left Wan Hu aside. However, Master Liu also wanted to promote Wan Hu, so Wan Hu naturally would not lose face.
"Yes, I deserve the punishment. I will drink three cups as punishment. I hope Master Lou, Master Liu, and Miss Qian will forgive me."
After saying that, he filled three cups, put them to his lips and drank them all in one gulp. Wang Qian looked at his clumsy appearance and laughed. Mr. Lou next to him also stood up and shook his head.
"This Wan Hu kid is really quite interesting."
While people were still talking, many people came in one after another. They all wanted to come forward and toast Mr. Lou, but Lai Fu immediately stepped forward and spoke in front of the master.
"Liu Yuan's family is here."
When Master Lou heard this, he gave Master Liu a look, and Miss Qian beside him, Wan Hu, naturally understood a little. The master ordered Lou Daguang to come over quickly. The dozens of people who came followed Master Lou and went downstairs first. Liu Yuan was sitting next to him, and Lou Tongzhi went over to bow to him.
"I didn't know Mr. Liu was coming. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you."
Liu Yuan beside him also returned the greeting.
Lou Tongzhi, followed by his son Lou Daguang, and the group of people behind them immediately bowed, and Liu Yuan said something.
"Don't be so polite. I came here today on your orders to wish the young master of the Lou family a happy birthday. Your Excellency didn't prepare anything, so I hurried over. I also have important things to do, so I can't stay long. I'm afraid I have to leave the banquet. Please forgive me, Master."
Mr. Lou nodded beside him.
