After a night of tossing and turning, Zhao Zhenji finally understood. Now that you have fallen into this trap, the only thing you can do is how to get back a little bit.
Noon is the main meal of the birthday banquet. In the morning, the major theatrical troupes, storytellers, dramas, magic shows, and acrobatic troupes start at Chen time and end at You time.
Even Guo Xiaozi, the popular disciple of Yu Da in Hangzhou, also came over. Shen’s students also came over. There were even three red-haired Taishites.
I waited boredly until the second half of the night, when I saw Xu Kun walking out with a puff of cigarette smoke.
Xu Kun thought he had done a good job of oral hygiene, but Zhao Zhenji, who had never smoked, was particularly sensitive to the smell of smoke.
Enduring the stench, after Zhao Zhenji said hello, he joked in a low voice, "I am the gentry and celebrities in Jiangsu who should pay attention to me."
"That was also the case with Zhao Futai. Now, The gentry in Jiangsu are all united."
Obviously Xu Kun is not a show of weakness. Especially on this birthday, there are many stars supporting the moon, and you will make a fortune. In his opinion, Zhao Zhenji's shabby one thousand taels was as if he was using himself for nothing without giving any gifts.
The so-called non-speculation is more than half a sentence. Zhao Zhenji ignored Mr. Xu's domineering behavior. Instead, he took the initiative to move around. We went to say hello to one table after another to see where in Jiangsu they were.
These gentry merchants were happy to introduce themselves. They all thought that showing up in Xu Mansion meant they had a background.
Zhao Zhenji later asked the housekeeper of Xu Mansion to write a list of gentry merchants who supported Qingliu because he was afraid of omissions.
You won’t know if you don’t see it, but you will be shocked when you see it. There were over 300 families on the list, and only the first 30 families could enter the house for dinner.
According to the birthday gifts estimated yesterday, it would be no big problem for these people to have a thousand taels from a large family or a thousand taels from a small family.
The first five are all rare things from Yishui. Those are not things that can be done with money.
After finishing these alms lists, it’s time for lunch.
The master of ceremonies started his speech, and only then did he see Zou Yinglong rushing over with a pair of panda eyes, three steps at a time.
As colleagues and fellow disciples, Zhao Zhenji and Zou Yinglong naturally sat together.
When the two met, Zhao Zhenji found it difficult to speak. Facing a junior brother who is so deeply involved in the Xu family's money-making business, he is afraid that he will be dragged into the water as soon as he opens his mouth. There's a big look like, don't come over here, don't touch me.
Zou Yinglong didn't have any self-consciousness. He completely ignored Zhao Zhenji's micro-expression and took the initiative to say hello without any hesitation.
During the dinner, they exchanged glasses and asked Zhao Zhenji why he didn’t come to the inn to look for him first. As a junior, I always wanted to ask my senior for advice in advance. I'll definitely see you after the banquet.
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Zhenji was confused. Isn't Zou Yinglong not at the inn? Why is he at the inn again? Is he there or is there someone among them who is stirring up trouble? Or is it Zou Yinglong who is trying to beat him up? You don’t want to see me, and you put the blame on me after everything happened.
Zou Yinglong can be regarded as his junior brother who he had many contacts with in the imperial court. It was obviously good before, but why is it so mean now
At the birthday banquet, Zhao Zhenji couldn't say much about official matters. After a few polite words passed, he felt like an ant on a hot pot.
As soon as I finished eating, I made an excuse to leave.
At this time, Zou Yinglong followed anxiously. It turned out to be a carriage ride.
"Senior Brother Meng Jing, save me and save the teacher"
Zou Yinglong knelt down in front of Zhao Zhenji as soon as he got on the carriage. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
