At night, the Zhao Mansion was brightly lit and full of guests. The outer courtyard was full of local tyrants and evil gentry, while the inner courtyard was full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Many people came to Ningzhou Mansion, and the three principals of the Bian Xie Han family, who were not supposed to come due to the custom, also sat there. on the main table.
"Why don't you make salt? I have an official in Beijing as a guarantor. What are you afraid of..."
Song Chizhu blinked his eyes in puzzlement. Lanshuihe Trading Company has been established. The three families of Bian, Xie and Han are all major shareholders. The marriage with Zhao Guanren is more like an alliance, and after the three families are twisted together, the strength and status Significantly doubled.
"Master Song! We are an innovative company, we don't do the old three..."
Member Xie said with a smile: "It depends on the face of the imperial court to make salt. We don't accept the bird's attitude. If we want to do it, we should do irreplaceable business. Not only do we not rely on the imperial court for food, but we also have to let the imperial court beg us in turn. It's time to fight a trade war with Kyrgyzstan, which is better than its imperial court's million soldiers!"
"What, what is a trade war?"
Several Ningzhou officials were dumbfounded, but Song Chizhu proudly said: "Anyway, the soldiers are useless, and you will be killed with silver, and you will call your father. The emperor of the Xiaoji Kingdom is not easy to handle in front of silver. Making money is like killing your parents, haha~"
"Does our Dashun have so much money? Little Chicken Country is not poor either..."
Several Ningzhou officials were a little unconvinced, but Bian Yuanwai shook his head and said with a smile: "This is a commercial secret. Let's watch it, my lords. You will know in two years. By then, our officials in Ningzhou will be popular everywhere we go." , Don’t forget about us, my lords!”
"The bride is giving a toast to everyone..."
Yuniang came out suddenly and yelled, all the guests put down their bowls and chopsticks and applauded together, only to see five brides came out in line, even Luo Tan put on wedding dresses, but the leader Gao Bi Grid bride, everyone is dumbfounded at once.
"Old Bian! Isn't this your eldest lady, when did you come in..."
All the guests looked at Officer Bian in surprise, but Officer Bian himself was also shocked, standing up hastily on crutches, while Bian Xianglan looked at him from behind the hanging bead curtain and smiled very shyly.
"Everyone! Miss Bian should be familiar to everyone..."
Zhao Guanren led Bian Xianglan forward and said with a smile: "The Bian Mansion has made great contributions to the imperial court and uncovered the real culprit who made the corpse poison. The Holy Majesty issued a special decree to exonerate Bian Xianglan from the teaching music workshop, and rewarded him I, Miss Bian is now my second wife, the daughter-in-law of my old Zhao family!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhao, congratulations to Yuanwai Bian..."
The guests stood up and applauded vigorously. In fact, they all secretly praised Zhao Guanren for being awesome. He was dismissed without even entering the door of the Jiaolefang. The emperor even issued a decree, turning the princess of the county into his concubine in a blink of an eye. This is really the first person in history.
"Unregistered! My daughter is unregistered..."
Bian Yuanwai was so excited that he burst into tears. He strode forward and grabbed Bian Xianglan's hand. He kept thanking Zhao Guanren, and Bian Xianglan who had just put on makeup also shed tears.
"Don't call me Master Zhao..."
Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "Your two daughters are married to me, and you will be my father-in-law from now on, but please rest assured, my son-in-law will treat them well. Bully them both!"
"I can't afford it!"
Officer Bian was so moved that he kept wiping away his tears, and said gratefully, "Master Zhao! I really can't afford to be so. The old man is very satisfied that my little girl can follow you!"
"You're welcome! After closing the door, you will call me son-in-law, and I will call you father-in-law..."
Zhao Guanren smiled and picked up the other bride, and said loudly: "This is my third wife Xie Yingying, fourth wife Bian Yulei, and concubines Zhao Luoshi and Zhao Hanshi,
Daughters-in-law! Come forward to toast to all distinguished guests, thank you for coming! "
"Go to toast, show your face more, drink more glasses..."
Officer Bian hurriedly pushed Bian Xianglan forward. Bian Xianglan's expression was like a dream, and she toasted with Zhao Guanren at the table in a daze, foolishly telling her to do whatever she wanted, as funny as a marionette.
"ah!"
Bian Xianglan suddenly exclaimed, and covered her pinched buttocks with her face flushed, but Zhao Guanren leaned into her ear and smiled, "Are you short-sighted, drink one cup at a time, and let me sleep to death in the bridal chamber later." Fish, your sister is smarter than you!"
"I-I'm afraid..."
Bian Xianglan said pitifully: "I'm afraid you're playing tricks on me again, and I don't feel wronged by being a concubine again, but my father is getting old and I really can't bear this humiliation!"
"What are you thinking, you are my daughter-in-law now, if you are ashamed, I am ashamed..."
Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "There is no conflict that can't be resolved by sleeping. If there is, then sleep again. I made Lantai County full of wind and rain, just to subdue you, the eldest lady, quickly lean your ass over and let me do it again." Squeeze it, it's so fucking enjoyable!"
"Don't! Let people see..."
Bian Xianglan shyly punched him, but she soon noticed that Zhao Guanren's hand had been wandering around him, either hugging or pinching him, holding her hand all the time and toasting all over the place. The bride has completely become a foil.
"Daughters-in-law! Come here..."
Zhao Guanren took the time to say to the new daughters-in-law: "From now on, the second child will be in charge of the housekeeper, and all the money books will be given to her, the third and fourth children will be in charge of the beauty and beauty, Yuniang will be in charge of the maids in the inner and outer courtyards, Aunt Luo will be in charge of Ding Nuyuan, and Aunt Han will listen to it." Second child's arrangement!"
As soon as this statement comes out!
Bian Xianglan straightened her back unconsciously. Zhao Guanren didn't have a wife in the house, and the housekeeper took care of money, which was equivalent to the status of a lady. .
"Eat and drink well, everyone, please bear with me if I don't greet you well..."
Bian Xianglan regained her self-confidence unconsciously, and turned back into a well-rounded businesswoman again, with her arm around Zhao Guanren all the time. with.
"Kiss one! Kiss one! Kiss one..."
The guests in the outer court were all uneducated local tyrants, and they began to boo after the toast. Zhao Guanren used the strength of the wine to kiss the beautiful wives and concubines one by one, and the shy girls all covered their pretty faces.
"Lord Zhao!"
A strange green-clothed scholar stood up, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Zhao has a brilliant literary talent, why don't we take this opportunity to compose a poem suitable for the occasion, and let us open our eyes!"
"Okay! Husband, quickly compose a poem..."
Miss Xie Er clapped her hands and cheered, she was Zhao Guanren's brainless fan, Zhao Guanren waved his hands and smiled, "Come on, let's start with a doggerel, all the brides have one husband, white robes and silver guns against red makeup, mandarin ducks are in double nights, a tree is red Apricot pressed crabapple!"
"Hahaha… "
A obscene poem made all the guests burst into laughter, and the brides who understood it were all so shy that they were too embarrassed to see anyone when they hid behind Zhao Guanren.
"Okay!"
The green-robed scholar clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Zhao is really talented, and he speaks eloquently. Any doggerel rhymes with the same rhyme. This officer really admires me. I hope you can teach me more in the future!"
"Master? Who are you, we haven't seen each other before..."
Zhao Guanren looked at the other party suspiciously. He was in his thirties and did not appear to be from an ordinary background, but the officials of Ningzhou Prefecture
He has seen almost all members, but this person has no impression.
"Yang Che, the new magistrate of Ningzhou, has met Chief Zhao..."
Yang Che clasped his fists in a very humble salute, and the local tyrant beside him spewed out his mouthful of white wine with a "poof", and more than a dozen people at the table hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"The next official, Li Mingde, the new magistrate of Lantai County, has met Chief Zhao..."
A middle-aged man at the next table also stood up and saluted. Everyone in the courtyard was dumbfounded. All the idiots in Lantai County already knew that these two old men were cronies sent by the emperor, and they were downgraded to act as eyeliners.
"Master Yang? Why are you here..."
Song Chizhu ran out scrambling. The magistrate of Ningzhou was an official of the fourth grade, and he came to drink quietly, clearly wanting to see the real situation in Lantai County.
"Why can't I come here? We gave gifts, and we didn't come here to eat and drink..."
Yang Zhifu laughed heartily, Zhao Guanren went up to meet him and said with a smile: "The two adults have come from a long way, and the next official is not far away to welcome you, but I am always afraid of trouble, and I will go to Beijing next month to take up my post. Two daughters-in-law married together, let the two adults laugh!"
"It's okay! How many big men are not attractive..."
Yang Zhifu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Chairman Zhao is both civil and military, and he is well-known in Lantai County. My trip with Mr. Li is really not in vain. Lantai County is indeed a model county for epidemic prevention. We have done all kinds of errands very solidly, but Chief Zhao can't treat one more favorably than another, other counties have to hurry up and rectify it!"
"We must do our best to do what we are supposed to do. Please..."
Zhao Guanren pushed Bian Xianglan smoothly, and Bian Xianglan hurriedly led the two into the inner courtyard, while Song Chizhu said in a low voice: "Yang Che! The number one scholar in the sixth year of Zhenwu, a celebrity around the emperor, will not go to Ningzhou to take up his post." , sneaking over to eat wine, this is to find out for the emperor!"
"Go and tell everyone in the business to shut up and stop talking nonsense..."
Zhao Guanren whispered: "There are a few guys I don't know sitting at the door. I guess they are the eyes and ears sent by the major factions. They are here to touch my old background. You should wipe your ass clean immediately. Leave, don't go to Ningzhou with me!"
"Don't worry! I've wiped it clean..."
Song Chizhu walked in quickly to connect with each other. Zhao Guanren led the brides to the flowing water banquet to toast. The people sitting at the door didn't take the initiative to reveal their identities, but one could tell from the sabers they showed that the ordnance banned by the people was by no means ordinary people.
"Yunxuan! I feel something is wrong..."
Song Chizhu ran over again and whispered in his ear: "The new magistrate Yang didn't say anything, but the people brought by the magistrate Li County went around to inquire about the news, and they kept talking in a strange way, which clearly meant that you colluded with merchants and amassed money in the name of epidemic prevention! "
"Let him talk about this kind of villain slowly. I will let all the businesses move to Yuzhou tomorrow. I will see what he will do if there is no tax..."
Zhao Guanren walked towards the inner courtyard disdainfully, took the brides and greeted them again, and finally cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone eat slowly, drink slowly, you will definitely not get drunk, but I can only stay here tonight , there are too many daughters-in-law, and if you don’t operate it, you can’t finish it at dawn!”
"Hahaha… "
Zhao Guanren entered the inner house amidst laughter, and the brides stood obediently in a row behind him, Bian Yulei said pitifully, "Master! We can't be together, it's too embarrassing for so many people to be together, why don't you come first?" Thank you, sister, I will have a conversation with my sister!"
"You still want to hide, the master will deal with you first..."
Zhao Guanren suddenly picked her up by the waist, kicked open the door and laughed loudly: "Everyone went to the room and waited for me. Bian Xiaosi came in and waited for me! Hahaha..."
