Jiang Mantian stood up and smiled and said, "Tian Dongjia, your Tian Family Pharmaceutical Store will be a member of my Donghai Chamber of Commerce in the future. The purpose of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce is to enable every merchant in the Donghai to do business smoothly. If there are any difficulties in the Tian Family Pharmaceutical Store in the future, you can find me at any time. As long as I can help, I will never refuse."

"Thank you, President Jiang, I will be more careful in the future. "

"Tian Dongjia, you can sign and press the handprint to take effect." Jiang Mantian smiled and said, "After signing, you can keep it yourself. If Mr. Lu regrets and takes out the document, you will not be afraid of any place to fight the lawsuit."

Lu Feihang hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't dare, don't dare."

Jiang Mantian said to Qi Ning again: "Mr. Marquis, the banquet tonight in the humble house is considered to be apology to the Marquis and Dong's family. I wonder if the Marquis can enjoy the honor?"

"President Jiang, I have seen your sincerity today, so I won't need dinner." Qi Ning smiled and said, "I will always have a chance in the future. By the way, I heard that President Jiang and Mr. Zhuo Qingyang and Mr. Zhuo are old friends?"

Jiang Mantian nodded and said, "I have indeed received guidance from Mr. Zhuo. Mr. Zhuo has not abandoned him and has often taken a nap in the humble house."

"Mr. Zhuo is also my teacher." Qi Ning smiled and said, "I wonder if President Jiang and Mr. Zhuo have had letters recently?"

Jiang Mantian shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhuo came half a year ago. He was a kind person and recommended Dogzi to the court. It was so kind that Caomin couldn't refuse, so Dogzi went to the capital. Before leaving, Caomin also asked Dogzi to bring a letter, but Mr. Zhuo has not replied since then, and has never received Mr. Zhuo's letter." After a pause, he asked, "Marquis, Dogzi came with a letter not long ago. It is said that Mr. Zhuo left without saying goodbye. He has disappeared. I wonder if he has returned to Beijing now?"

Qi Ning sighed lightly: "Sir, I also want to know where he went."

"Yes, Mr. Zhuo is a master of literary world, but he is also a idle and wild crane." Jiang Mantian sighed: "He has been teaching in the capital for many years and has not seen each other for many years. Now he is leaving, I don't know when he will see him again." There was a little sadness in his words.

Qi Ning said: "Mr. and President Jiang are old friends. If President Jiang knows the whereabouts of Mr. Jiang one day, please let me know."

"The Marquis has given me the order, and I should obey my orders." Jiang Mantian stood up and bowed: "The Marquis is busy with all kinds of things every day, and the Cao people dare not disturb them too much. Another day, when the Marquis has time, I will ask the Marquis to visit the humble house. The Cao people will say goodbye first."

"Since that's the case, I won't send it." Qi Ning shouted: "Come here, see off the guests!"

Someone came outside to lead Jiang Mantian and the others away. After they left, Tian Xuerong frowned and said, "Marty, the Lu family's Lu family's gift shop is really inappropriate. I have been thinking about it and it's better to refuse."

Qi Ning didn't answer, and walked to the chair next to the wife, sat down, opened another brocade box, which was also full of high-end pearls, and asked with a smile: "Madam, you said before that the pearl powder applied to the noodles can delay aging, but now they have sent two boxes of pearls. It seems that these two people are really capable of predicting the future." He twisted a pearl with two fingers and asked: "Can these two boxes of beads make you ten years younger?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Tian Xuerong gave Qi Ning a blank look. Now he and Qi Ning are alone, no longer as nervous and relaxed as before. She said softly: "It just makes people's skin whiter and tender, but it's not really rejuvenation." She frowned and said, "But these things are too expensive. Marquis, this is all given by you depending on your face."

"You said that these two boxes of pearls really cost money to buy, how much money do you get?"

The lady thought for a while and said, "The pearls I bought before are far less color than these, and they are much smaller than this, and each one is three or four taels of silver. Some pearls are raised by themselves, while others are natural beads obtained from the sea. Natural pearls of this size are rare in the capital. Even if there are, they are taken away by dignitaries and nobles. We can't find them even if we want to buy them." After estimating, she said, "It will cost at least seven or eight taels of silver."

"Seven or eight taels?" Qi Ning looked at it: "This box is about sixty, and the two boxes are about one hundred, which is only seven or eight hundred taels of silver, which is not very expensive."

The lady smiled helplessly and said, "Marty, you are from a wealthy family, and money is naturally nothing to you. For an ordinary family of six, twenty taels of silver are enough for them to spend a year. Take out two of them at will, which is their annual expense. Do you think it is still less?"

Qi Ning smiled, then pointed to the blood coral and said, "How much is that blood coral worth?"

"I have seen a blood coral in the capital a few years ago. It is much smaller than this one and is far less exquisite. It was bought for 3,000 taels of silver." The lady said: "If you put this one in the capital, you will be bought by someone who will be offered 10,000 taels."

Qi Ning said "Oh" and suddenly reached out and held the wife's hand. The wife was surprised. Her first reaction was to look out the door. Seeing that there was no one outside the door, she felt a little relieved and said in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

However, Qi Ning pulled to his previous seat, opened the brocade box that Jiang Mantian gave him, pointed to the book Donghai Dizhi and asked with a smile: "Madam, how much money do you think this book is worth?"

The lady pulled out her tenderness without hesitation, blinked her eyes, shook her head, Qi Ning had already picked up the book, and sighed: "I guess it's worth a few thousand taels of silver."

The lady was stunned and wondered if the little marquis had a fever. Even if it was out of print, it would not be worth so much money. However, when Qi Ning opened the book, took out a few silver notes from it, and shook the silver notes. The lady glanced at it and was shocked. Then she realized that Jiang Mantian had actually put the silver notes in the book, and Qi Ning seemed to have known it for a long time. Qi Ning handed the silver notes to his wife. The lady was stunned and did not dare to pick it up. Qi Ning had already said, "Please put it on your side, I will ask you for it when I want it."

The lady hesitated for a moment and then took it. She clicked it, no more than no more, exactly ten thousand taels.

The lady was a little shocked. Although she knew that there were so many such things in the officialdom, Jiang Mantian's actions were really generous. A blood coral plus a thousand taels of silver would cost nearly 20,000 taels of silver. She was the richest man in the East China Sea and was indeed well-deserved.

"Marty, we really want to accept these things?" The lady was a little nervous: "Add all of them, they sent tens of thousands of taels of silver. If someone knew about it, would it be?"

"Are you worried that someone would report me to take bribes?" Qi Ning asked with a smile.

The lady thought to herself that this was not an obvious matter? But it was hard to talk directly and would not repeat.

Qi Ning's expression gradually became colder, and she said lightly: "These gifts must be collected!" Without the relaxed expression on his face when he had previously teased his wife, the lady naturally saw that she thought Qi Ning's words were not simple, and she whispered: "Marty, what's wrong with you? Why do you say you must be collected?"

"Madam, how do I think I'm doing just now?" Qi Ning stared at the lady's eyes, and before she could speak, she added: "Don't agree, let alone tell lies."

The lady hesitated for a moment before saying, "If you don't know the character of the marquis, you still think that the marquis is a greedy person, and there is something you don't need to say before."

"Are you saying that you will explain it?" Qi Ning asked: "You have made contributions to the epidemic in Beijing, so the Imperial Hospital used the medicinal materials from your Tian Family Medicine Store?"

The lady was stunned. He thought Qi Ning had not noticed this, but he didn't expect Qi Ning to know it. He frowned and said, "Since the Marquis knows, why do you want to say it? After all, you are the Marquis of Jinyi after all, so there is no need to explain these to them."

Qi Ning nodded and said, "Mrs. What's right. In fact, in theory, I don't have to explain anything to them."

"Then the Marquis is still for me?" The lady said ashamed: "The Marquis has done a lot for me, but there is no need to explain it to them for me."

"Does that lady think I'd be a little childish when I explain it to them?"

The lady was stunned, thought for a while, and then said softly: "There are some, but!"

"In this way, I can do it well." Qi Ning smiled faintly: "The first time I met today, at least they would feel that I, the man in the Jinyi, were not only greedy for money, but also childish, and also childish."

After all, the lady was also a smart person. After understanding something, she said in surprise: "Mr. Marquis, are you acting just now?"

Qi Ning whispered: "Qin Yuege just said that since the Golden Sword Hou pacified the East China Sea, the Han family has been completely eliminated, and the remaining three major families have rarely had contact with each other. Do you still remember?"

"Remember." The lady nodded and said, "Mr. Qin said that they no longer have a marriage."

"Recently in Guanchao Tower, you can see clearly that when Chen Kun and Lu Ziheng met, they were very close and seemed to be saying hello, but in their words, the relationship between the two families was not alienated." Qi Ning thoughtfully and said slowly: "Today, Jiang Mantian and Lu Feihang came together, what can you see?"

The lady thought for a while before saying, "Lu Feihang seems not good at speaking, and he seems to be obedient to Jiang Mantian."

"Madam's observation, it is indeed the case." Qi Ning chuckled: "But Lu Feihang is the head of the Lu family. The Lu family is in the East China Sea. As long as the business of making money is profitable, it will interfere. And it has become the second richest family in the East China Sea after the Jiang family. Do you think Lu Feihang is a person who is not good at speaking? His wife was just living in the boudoir at the time, but in order to support the Tian family's medicine business, she personally manages the business. Now when talking to outsiders, she can advance and retreat in an orderly manner without being confusing. How could such people as Lu Feihang not speak?"

"Mr. Marquis, are you saying Lu Feihang did it on purpose?"

"He may not have done it on purpose," said Qi Ning: "But before they came here, they naturally discussed it. Looking at his son, he can tell that his father, Lu Ziheng was domineering. Although Lu Feihang is old, he must be very domineering. Such a person has one of the biggest weaknesses, do you know what it is?"

"This kind of person is self-righteous and does not care about other people's feelings when speaking." The lady said carefully.
