The infinite shock finally turned into a dry laugh: "Haha, have you heard about Zhong's ignorance when he was young? That was also a ridiculous and pretentious act when he was young. Ashamed, ashamed."
"Oh? But I don't think so. This is not the time to talk about this matter. I will return it when I get the chance.
I would like to discuss many issues with Mr. Zhong. "Seeing that many gentry, nobles and businessmen in the surrounding area have turned their attention to this place.
Here, Wu Feng smiled and changed the subject, "I would also like to ask Mr. Zhong to introduce the Xikang celebrities present to Li Wu Feng."
"Haha, it is an honor for Zhong to serve you. Although our Xikang is located in a remote place, we are still part of the empire.
The territory is always looking forward to its liberation. Being able to be liberated in the hands of Mr. Li is really a blessing for us, the people of Xikang.
So lucky. "The middle-aged gentleman politely saluted Situ Yutang to show respect, and at the same time extended his hand to invite Mr. Wu Feng.
The two women strolled forward. In front of them, the nobles, gentry and business tycoons in rich costumes had already lined up, waiting for Wu Feng.
Meeting of the couple. There was a flurry of pleasantries followed by countless compliments that had been prepared. Wu Feng was also someone who had experienced such scenes for a long time.
, but I can cope with it easily, just like seeing many old friends I haven’t seen for many years, asking for help, from weather changes to life events.
Business, from children's matters to romantic anecdotes, let these people who have been fascinated by this prince-in-law who has been very popular in the empire for many years
The gentry and businessmen all felt like a spring breeze and were particularly friendly.
Surrounded by a group of people, Wu Feng happily stepped into the middle hall of the banquet hall. The waiter had already brought him a wine cup.
Wu Feng was not polite and took the wine glass. After looking around, the people all focused on themselves and said smoothly: "Everyone
Ladies and gentlemen, today we are here to celebrate the restoration of Xikang Prefecture. First of all, I want to thank those who fought bloody battles on the battlefield.
Without them, Xikang would not be what it is today; secondly, I would also like to thank everyone present.
It is because of your vigorous resistance that the Taiping Rebellion Party was unable to gain a firm foothold in Xikang Mansion and our army was able to
The team successfully recovered the entire territory of Xikang. Come. Come, come, let us drink to a brighter future for Xikang Mansion! "
Wu Feng was already familiar with these extremely hypocritical words, and they poured out like flowing water without any preparation. Even Su Qin and Wang Liao couldn't help but admire the coach's ability. The audience immediately recalled a warm welcome, and the gentry and businessmen who received the courtesy were all overjoyed. Not only the gentry who had nothing to do with "resisting vigorously" were delighted, but also those businessmen who colluded with the Taiping Army. Just like letting go of the burden. They all raised their glasses one after another, and while cheering for the victory and recovery, they also sincerely praised Wu Feng's incomparably broad "mind."
The banquet started, combining Chinese and Western styles. There was both a Chinese banquet and a Western buffet. Wufeng was quite surprised. He couldn't believe it.
In such a remote small house, Western-style eating habits are still prevalent. It seems that all kinds of imported food from the West Road
The way of life had penetrated deeply into the interior of the empire and was accepted by many people. This not only shows that the frequency of exchanges between the East and West continents is
The complexity also shows that other civilizations in the Western Continent have vaguely surpassed the current civilization in the Eastern Continent, which made Wu Feng sigh with emotion.
I am also a little wary. The erosion of this kind of cultural customs may be more severe than anything else. It is gradually getting deeper into people's hearts and deserves my attention.
meaning.
There was a happy and harmonious scene as they drank and drank. Wu Feng also intended to get acquainted with and win over the Xikang gentry, so he raised his glasses.
, because this place is still under the direct control of the empire, and his foundation here is still shallow, and he still needs to make good use of these other forces.
He can firmly control this place and stand firmly on his side when facing the threat from the Lang family in the south.
As the heroine, Situ Yutang has other plans. On the one hand, she hopes that Xikang Mansion can support Wu Feng. After all, there is still the jurisdiction of the Taiping Rebellion between here and the center of the empire, and the Lang family from the south also Coveting this place, Situ Yutang felt that he might have a greater influence on Wufeng than Li Wufeng and Lang Yongquan. But Situ Yutang is a little worried that this place will become the next Northern Luzon, completely reduced to Li Wufeng's personal leader. She does not want to see this situation happen, and she hopes that Xikang will become an imperial leader first. However, it is an area that has a relatively good relationship with Northwest Protector. However, it is not clear whether this idea is in line with the ideas of her fiancé.
"Sir, the Lang family still has more than two thousand prisoners in our hands. I don't know how to deal with them?" After a banquet, the house was not drunk by alcohol. He and Xiong Daoyuan watched the seventeenth princess leave, who was a little tired and took a rest first. After only three people were left, he asked.
"Have any envoys from the Lang family come to negotiate?" Wu Feng also drank a lot. He was in a very comfortable mood. Although he remained calm on the surface, he knew that he had overdosed today. However, the battle in Xikang was indeed very good. Tiannan Fang came here in joy and returned in embarrassment. He also won the respect of these low-ranking gentry in Xikang Mansion. He was quite satisfied.
"Not so far. How about we transfer the prisoners back to the northwest first? I think it will never be safe to leave them here.
Too solid. "The people in the house are also skilled in long-term battles, and they are very thoughtful. "These gentry and businessmen of Xikang Prefecture, don't look at the current situation," he said.
It’s hard to tell what the intentions behind the people are flattering us like dogs. As far as my subordinates know,
Before the Taiping Rebellion withdrew from Xikang, many gentry and businessmen were inextricably linked with the Rebellion. It is said that the Taiping Rebellion
A large number of horses for the cavalry force formed came from Xikang merchants. "
"Well," he nodded slowly, and after drinking a cup of strong tea, Wu Feng's somewhat heated mind gradually calmed down, "Businessmen attach great importance to profits, and they will go wherever the profits lie. If the Taiping Rebellion Party can give them benefits, they will naturally They are excited, but they will also weigh the relationship between interests. If they lose much more things for a small profit, I believe they will give up without hesitation."
Shinai nodded thoughtfully. "By the way, what is Zhong Wenjing's influence here?" Wu Feng asked in turn.
"It's quite big. The Zhong family is originally a prominent family in Xikang. Zhong Wenjing is good at writing and is very smooth in dealing with people. In addition, he is good at management. The pastures and mountains left by his ancestors have been managed prosperously by him. And this person
He always had great ambitions and founded schools and pharmacies. Whenever there was a disaster, he opened a charity house and a warehouse to store grain. He also collaborated with the local common people.
The businessmen have close relations and have considerable influence among the upper class as well as the middle and lower classes. They can be regarded as the most influential people in Xikang Mansion.
The first outstanding person. "Although he has only been in Xikang for a short period of ten days, the basic situation of Xikang Mansion has been completely destroyed.
Familiar with chest.
"Well, Zhong Wenjing is a talent. I've heard about it in the imperial capital. But based on what you said, I'd rather
I have some doubts about whether this guy has other backgrounds. I can feel that this guy seems to be waiting for something.
I'm still a little unsure whether to sell at a high price or play hard to get, but as long as it's a character, I'm not afraid of him. I'm just afraid of him.
It would be a pity to waste my energy by not living up to the name. "Wufeng's eyes, which were a little blurry, suddenly became clear.
He never loses focus when thinking about business.
"You might as well find an opportunity to talk to him first and get to know him. I also feel that this person is not willing to live in idleness all his life. He may be waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Bole to discover him?" Schone agreed with the coach. view.
Slightly drunk, Wu Feng staggered into the inner courtyard that had been prepared. This was originally a wealthy place in Xikang Prefecture.
The commercial residence was temporarily used as a residence for Mr. Bai Shenggong and His Royal Highness the Seventeenth Princess and his wife. Elegant environment under the stars
It looked particularly fresh and peaceful below. There was still candlelight in the wing in the west courtyard, and a cool breeze blew past Wu Feng’s somewhat hot face.
Cheek, Wu Feng felt a little dazed in his heart, and unconsciously stepped towards the west wing. The door was pushed open, and there was someone sitting at the table in the room.
The girl who was reading by the stage looked at Wu Feng, who was unsteady at the door, with some surprise. She frowned slightly, her nose slightly raised.
, stood up, "Wufeng, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing. I'm in a good mood today. I'm very happy to be able to hold hands with Yutang like this." The drunkenness was rising, and Wufeng's tongue seemed to be less flexible, and his words seemed a little incoherent. He held the door with his hand, and his body was even more Shaky.
Seeing that Wufeng was really drunk, Situ Yutang was also a little nervous, with a look in his eyes.
A look of panic flashed across his face. He had already heard about his fiancé's romantic nature when he arrived, and was afraid that something might happen to him.
It was an appropriate move. After all, the two of them were still an unmarried couple. Secondly, this inner courtyard was originally the resting place for the couple. The guards
It was so tight that no one could enter. Except for her personal maid, there was no one else, but at this time, she didn't want to let anyone in.
The maid got involved in this scene.
Taking two steps forward, Situ Yutang quickly supported his fiancé-in-law, who was unsteady on his feet.
She wanted to help him back to her room, but Wu Feng's majestic body and her weakness after drinking were too much for a petite Ling like her.
Long was a weak woman who could hold her up, but her body pressed down, almost crushing Situ Yutang. Seeing that he could not be helped, Situ
Yutang had no choice but to help Wufeng to her bedside with one step at a time. In just a few steps, the girl was already exhausted. It was so easy.
Lifting Wu Feng onto the bed, and just as he took off his slippers, a thick arm suddenly grabbed his waist.
Hugging her, the girl was so shocked that she couldn't help but scream.
The sound of heavy breathing and the smell of alcohol, you don’t need to think about it to know that it’s the help of
Wu Feng, who was drunk, and the girl who lacked mental preparation was like a frightened deer, suddenly strung out from afar, almost overwhelming Wu Feng.
The girl took her body out of bed and saw that Wu Feng was just drunk and unintentional. The girl breathed a sigh of relief. If she was right
Fang did it intentionally, but he was afraid that he would have to rush out and keep his virginity first. Thinking of this, Situ Yutang also felt somewhat
It’s strange why Wu Feng didn’t even have a serving woman around him when he went out for an inspection this time. It was because he was afraid of someone like him.
What about the identity of the fiancée, or did she intentionally leave it out? Even the female secretary who is said to be deeply trusted by her fiancé didn’t show up this time.
It’s really puzzling to follow him on the trip. I heard that my fiancé is a man who never sleeps with his daughter, and has no pleasure with her, but
I've observed it myself these past few days, but that's not the case. Could it be that the rumors are wrong
