Xunwei Court
The man was invited, and he strode in in a black jade brocade dress, with his hands on his back, a stunning face, a hint of arrogance hidden between his brows, and a vague nobility in his gestures.
"Second Master Zhao?"
"Yo! Second Master Zhao! Come on, please come inside."
It's just that when people saw the man, they stood up quickly, with indescribable politeness and flattery in their voices. Several of them wore four or five emerald rings on their wrists, red and green. Wearing gold silk, she looks full of wealth.
Zhao Zun smiled, and when he was in the crowd, he looked like a son of a noble family, he couldn't find the slightest bit of wealth in his body, he was extremely expensive.
"Boss Chen, Boss Wang, and Boss Li, please stay safe."
Zhao Zun sat on the side, looking around, but there was no such person. It had been several days, Zhao Zun came every day, why didn't he see him once
Zhao Zun murmured in his heart,
Zhao Qi looked along the line of sight, except for some food, there is nothing special, although the food in Xunwei Pavilion is delicious, it is not necessary to come every day.
Zhao Qi was puzzled.
"Second Master Zhao, we are expecting you to come here. At the foot of the emperor in Kyoto, all the officials will look down on us for doing business."
"That's right, we keep suppressing and exploiting, and the monthly tribute is no less than this amount. We are all small businesses, so we can't afford it."
As the man spoke, he stretched out his palm and gestured, full of anger and unwillingness.
"Hey, don't mention it. Last month, Duke Jin's Young Master Sun went to the store and took away five thousand taels of silver antiques. Duke Jin is favored, and there is a lady in the palace to support him. Who would dare to offend him?" ?”
"If this continues, we will have to pack up and leave sooner or later. If we don't make money, we will lose a lot of money."
A few people said, sighing and looking helpless.
"Fortunately, Second Master Zhao is here. In the future, we are willing to do our best for Second Master. I hope Second Master will not dislike you."
"Second Master Zhao can come to the capital, and the future imperial merchants are just around the corner. I hope that Second Master can be promoted."
As they spoke, they stood up and bowed down to offer a glass of wine to Zhao Zun.
Zhao Zun pursed his lips, "Everyone sit down first, this is the first time Zhao has come to the capital, and he is familiar with him by accident, so how dare he trust you? You are all wealthy people, and they are also prominent figures in the business world. You have won and won in business. Lose, why bother."
After Zhao Zun finished speaking, the faces of several people felt bright. After all, they came a few years earlier than Zhao Zun, and the experience of fumbling and learning is not something that can be bought with money.
Thinking of this, a few people couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
"Hey, tomorrow is Princess Jinshu's birthday banquet, what gifts have you prepared?"
Boss Wang looked smug, and said softly, "I entrusted Mr. Zhang to send a Jade Guanyin, Hetian jade."
"Boss Wang is generous. What I have prepared is an authentic work by Wang Xizhi, which was also brought in by Mr. Towin."
"Boss Chen is also good. I heard that the new son-in-law is very fond of wielding knives and guns, so I specially found a sword."
Several people couldn't help but looked at Boss Li in unison, their eyes flickered slightly, who didn't know that the son-in-law was the princess' favorite.
"Boss Li, this gift is great. It will definitely make the princess happy. It's a pity that we don't have any invitations."
The corners of Zhao Qi's mouth twitched. His father was too calm. Seeing that Zhao Zun couldn't sit still, he was about to get up.
"This Concubine Liu is really capable of not only coaxing the princess around, but also holding his step-daughter like a treasure, and throwing his own Princess Qingle aside."
"Hehe, you guys don't know yet, Princess Qingle and Miss Jiu from the Right Prime Minister's family are very close, and they both have similar tastes. A few days ago, Miss Xiao Jiu punished the servants without mercy, like the Right Prime Minister!"
Zhao Zun was stunned for a while when he heard it, and sat back down again.
"Miss Ninth of the Xiangfu and Princess Jinshu's daughter-in-law are very close?" Zhao Zun asked.
"It's not just good friends, these two people have always been inseparable, and they are also called the twin sisters of Kyoto."
After Boss Wang finished speaking, Boss Chen continued.
"Miss Xiao Jiu went to the princess's birthday banquet this time. To put it bluntly, she just went to see her. She didn't even think about it. She resigned from His Highness's marriage. Even if the Right Prime Minister is so powerful, who would dare to offend His Highness?"
Zhao Zun was fascinated by this, his eyes were stained with sternness, the wine cup in his hand was placed on the table with a bang, and he stood up.
"Zhao has something else to do, let's go first, this meal is invited by Zhao, bosses, please do as you please."
After Zhao Zun finished speaking, he strode outside.
Several people froze for a moment, then their expressions changed slightly, and they pointed at Zhao Zun's figure.
"Hmph! Sooner or later he will suffer!"
Zhao Zun was walking on the road, and there were only two words in his mind, that concubine Xiao would also go tomorrow, and it was on a blind date.
Zhao Zun squinted at Zhao Qi, "Go and prepare congratulatory gifts, Nuanyu Guanyin and Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and painting, plus a bloody horse and a bronze sword."
The corner of Zhao Qi's mouth twitched, "Master, is this too much?"
Zhao Zun glared at Zhao Qi, "Don't talk nonsense, just go if you are told, and get an invitation card!"
Zhao Qi sums it up too much, his master just went to the birthday party for Miss Xiao Jiu.
"But Lord, that invitation has already been rejected by his subordinates."
Zhao Zun narrowed his eyes, and glanced at Zhao Qi, his expression was cold, and Zhao Qi's back felt chills from shock.
Zhao Zun looked at the sky in a daze, when a carriage came across, it happened to be Lian Jiming.
Zhao Zun's eyes sparkled, and his lips curled up.
Suddenly
The old lady named Xiao Shu and Xiao Shu, who only took concubine Xiao and the second bedroom, originally it was Xiao Ying's share, but when the eldest prince came, Xiao Ying's reaction was a bit too much, so the old lady temporarily erased it for Xiao Ying. .
After Xiao Ying learned about it, she clenched her fists tightly, lowered her head and took a deep look at Concubine Xiao.
She was dressed in goose yellow, delicate and charming, with delicate makeup painted on her face, not many jewelry on her head, but all of them were rare boutiques, embellished on Xiao Concubine's body, which made people's eyes shine unconsciously.
Tears welled up in Xiao Ying's eyes, fortunately she had already started preparing, she also wanted to go, and looked at the old lady eagerly.
The old lady just pretended not to know, and took the two of them out directly.
Of course, Xiao Shu didn't dare to steal Xiao Concubine's limelight, but she also had a special charm. She was dressed in light purple and was unassuming, extraordinarily gentle and generous. She was only three months younger than Xiao Ying and was the second child.
Concubine Xiao looked at it, blinked slightly, sat in the carriage in a well-behaved manner, just waiting to arrive at the house, the old lady gave her many instructions along the way, Concubine Xiao's face flushed red, feeling ashamed and helpless.
Concubine Xiao nodded her promise, and the old lady was relieved.
