Are the servants of Tantai and Linghu following me? Nangong hired to pick me up? Is there any connection here? Such a childish move of using servants to follow Commander Huben would not be a decision made by an experienced person.
The accident should be that those juniors are up to something. Maybe Nangong Pin is in the same group with them, but that guy is more upright. BiquΩ Δ Ge
Ding Kui slowly straightened out his thoughts.
How do I attract my future wife’s parents? Even if I don’t like them, it’s not their turn to get ahead. No, I have to pay close attention to their movements. Stupid people often do stupid things, and there is no guarantee that they won’t act excessively.
.
The Inspection Office and the people with unknown origins need more clues to determine. It is always easy to have problems when there is no one around me. Last time I came back, I didn’t feel that the water in the capital was so deep. Before I got stronger, I should
Leave the capital as soon as possible.
"Young Master, I would like to see Mr. Dong from Lu's Chamber of Commerce." He Laizi was very efficient in his work. He found people from Lu's Chamber of Commerce not long after he left.
"Please." Ding Kui put aside the matter of the stalker.
A thin man who looked like a monkey walked into the study quickly. He glanced at Ding Kui and bowed immediately, saying: "The villain Dong Song, the dean of the VIP Hall of the Shaodian Guo Association of the Lu Family Chamber of Commerce, came here at the request of Ding Kui's consort.
Come and meet me."
Ah ha, what a good name. Just look for him when playing mahjong. He knows how to give.
Ding Kui secretly laughed in his heart, and responded seriously on the surface: "It turns out to be Mr. Dong. I'm glad to meet you. Please take a seat."
"Ah, haha, there is no place for me to sit in front of you. I just need to stand." Dong Song is a person who specializes in serving high-level VIPs. His speech and etiquette are impeccable.
Ding Kui knew that the duty of a person like Dong Song was to please others, so he was not polite to him and asked directly: "What is the status of your annual auction? Are there any additional conditions for my participation?"
Dong Song shook his head and waved his hands and said: "Don't joke around with me. We can't even invite a distinguished guest like you, so why do we need any additional conditions?"
Every year we collect a group of relatively rare items for sale. Since there are more VIPs coming, those who have valuable items that are not seen on the market will be given to us for sale. This is how this annual auction is held.
of.
This year coincides with a small reward that occurs once every five years. The prices of items auctioned at our annual auction are all 10% off. The Lu Chamber of Commerce will pay 10% of the money for all distinguished guests, so there are more people participating than in ordinary years.
, there will be even more people when the big feedback comes once every ten years.”
“What’s the discount for big rewards?”
"Twenty percent off."
"Twenty percent off. If you pay 800,000 for a million gold coins, you can take it away. This is a great reward. You can get a lot of money without the shipping fee. Lu Guoren really knows how to do business.
." Ding Kui couldn't help but be speechless.
Auctions are basically large-scale transactions, and a 10% or 20% discount involves a considerable sum of money. It can be said that the Lu Chamber of Commerce gives away large profits and rewards guests.
"As long as the distinguished guests are satisfied, it's worth the loss for us." Dong Song said with a smile on his face.
"Well, can I bring some people in?" Ding Kui became interested and decided to go to the auction.
"How many people do you want to bring? I will go back and apply to the Chamber of Commerce and do my best to meet your request." Dong Song was afraid that Ding Kui wouldn't go, so why not bring more people to see more things.
"About seven or eight friends, but most of them should have invitations."
"That's no problem at all. The Chamber of Commerce has specially reserved a VIP room for you. It can seat more than ten or twenty people. As long as you leave a servant at the door, you can take your friends to the VIP room through a special passage. No need
Invitation card."
When He Zizi told Ding Kui that he wanted to know about the auction, Lu's Chamber of Commerce had already reserved a VIP room.
"How can it be so simple?" Ding Kui blurted out.
"This year's auction is scheduled for August 5th. I will send you the auction list three days before it starts. If you need to transfer funds, you can tell me at the scene at any time." Dong Song could tell that Ding Kui was going.
"Haha, I just went to take a look and choose a gift for the princess." Ding Kui didn't want to buy a lot.
After seeing Dong Song off, Ding Kui kept circling in circles, muttering: "I just remembered something important? How could I forget it in the blink of an eye?"
He Guangsheng passed by the door and saw Ding Kui looking strange. He ran into the study and asked, "Master, what has been dropped? Let me help you look for it."
"I just can't remember what I dropped."
"What else is there besides books in the study?"
"Book! Lose! Haha, I remembered it, I know how to give it away, why didn't I think of this thing?" Ding Kui slapped his head, and the important thing was mahjong.
"Ah, you found it now?" He Guangsheng looked confused.
"Yes, you have made great achievements. Let your grandpa reward you later." Ding Kui put his arm on He Guangsheng's shoulders and led him out of the study, "Go and ask Butler Jiang to come."
Mahjong is a tool for entertainment and gambling. Mahjong parlors are not uncommon in areas where Chinese people live. It is a good business if it is run well.
In the past, there were mahjong parlors everywhere in the city where Ding Kui lived, and he had never seen any boss losing money. He picked up a pen and started writing on a white paper, and drew the appearance of mahjong in his memory.
Jiang Nai was in Ding's house. He rushed over after receiving the notice from He Guangsheng and saw Ding Kui concentrating on drawing something.
"What is this?" Jiang Nai couldn't help but ask as Ding Kui finished half of the painting.
"This is a kind of chess tile. I believe many people will like it. It is called Mahjong tile." Ding Kui finished drawing the southeast, northwest, middle and white, and was drawing ten thousand and one tubes.
"Chess and card game? Do you want to make it?" Jiang Nai is indeed an old butler, and he can tell at a glance why Ding Kui came to him.
"That's right, it's best to use high-grade materials and let rich people learn how to play it first." Ding Kui saw the look of doubt on Jiang Nai's face, so he explained, "This thing is addictive and easy to use.
When it comes to gambling, poor people are already struggling to make a living and have no time to play this. Rich people are different. Spending money in different ways is their entertainment, so we make money from them."
"Wonderful, the young master's business acumen is outstanding. Magazines and chilled food stores are things that no one else has thought of or would do. Now he has come up with some kind of mahjong. You have all the food, drinks and entertainment. You haven't compared it to the traditional
There is a conflict between business overlords, and it will be difficult for you not to accept it." Jiang Nai has a unique vision, and after hearing what Ding Kui said, he felt that mahjong has a bright future.
"The annual auction of the Lu Chamber of Commerce is less than ten days away. There is no time to promote it. There is no need to rush to make this mahjong. First, make a few samples for me to see, and I will choose the best version." Ding Kui.
After a quick calculation, I realized I didn't have enough time.
"Well, high-end materials need to be carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen, otherwise the materials will be wasted and the work will not be done well. It just so happens that I have a familiar craftsman, so this matter is taken care of by Lao Nu." Jiang Nai knew what he was doing.
After settling the quota for the auction, he also thought about mahjong. Ding Kui was in a good mood and wanted to invite a few acquaintances to his home for a drink. He chose to stay at home as much as possible before he could find out the threats outside.
"It's okay for the young master to come back and sit with his friends, but..." He Laizi hesitated before he started to speak.
"Huh? If you have something to say, you can just say it. My family doesn't have so many scruples." Ding Kui noticed that He Laizi had something to say and didn't want to say it.
"Master, you went to the battlefield right after your wedding. There are certain etiquettes that you didn't do that no one can blame. But now that you are in the capital, if you don't do it, you will attract criticism." He Laizi hesitated, hoping that Ding Kui would know even if he didn't explain too clearly.
"What happened? Did I fail to do something well?"
"Um, um, should you pay a visit to the Long family?"
"Ah!" Ding Kui slapped his thigh, "Yes, yes, thank you for reminding me. What on earth am I thinking about every day? I must go to see my father-in-law, otherwise if he really doubts that I am engaged to the princess, I will not let Long Yan go.
.You go and prepare a generous gift immediately, and we will head to Duke Wei's Mansion."
Ding Kui was so confused by the betrothal issue recently that he even forgot to go to the Long family. He was too embarrassed to come over and urge the consort to visit his father-in-law. Isn't this a competition for status with the king?
He Zizi immediately went to the warehouse to prepare gifts for Ding Kui to take to the Long family, leaving Ding Kui alone at the gate.
"Would you like to change some clothes? Forget it, this outfit looks good today, save yourself some trouble." Ding Kui looked down at the clothes on his body and said to himself.
At this time, a man walked in from the door. He was a short man with a black and yellow face and a very ordinary appearance. You would not be able to spot him in the crowd at a glance.
"Who are you? Why do you want to come to my house?" Ding Kui tilted his head and looked at the visitor.
The visitor said in a low and hoarse voice: "My name is Hua Nuan, and I'm here to apply for a nursing home. Please take me to meet the owner of this place."
"Hua egg?"
"Yes, warm and warm." Hua Nuan was slightly stunned.
"Oh, haha, I'm sorry. Brother Hua came to apply for the nursing home, but your head is not good enough." Ding Kui puffed up his chest.
In fact, Hua Nuan is not very short, about 1.65 to 1.7 meters tall, but he looks short in front of Ding Kui, and he only barely reaches Ding Kui's chin.
"I am a knight, please don't insult me!" Hua Nuan stood with his feet shoulder-to-shoulder and his arms naturally drooped, ready to take action if he disagreed.
Ding Kui saw this and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, Knight Huanuan, Ding Kui shouldn't judge people by their appearance. Please accept my apology."
"You, your, your name is Ding Kui? Are you the owner of this place? Ding Kui, the Crown Prince?" Hua Nuan trembled as if he was hit by an electric current.
Oh, my fame is so great, it scares people.
Ding Kui thought that the self-registered number had calmed Hua Nuan, and thought it was a bit interesting, and said: "I am also a knight. It is my fault that I cannot remain humble in front of you. You don't need to worry about my other identities. Look at your actions.
And exhale, you should be a fighting blade knight, and from now on you will be a guardian of the Protector's Mansion."
"Ah, ah, ah, what should I do?" Hua Nuan looked a little flustered.
"Well, I happen to be going out, so you can be my escort first." Ding Kui raised his hand and patted Hua Nuan on the shoulder.
