It was already the afternoon of the second day when a group of people arrived in the capital. I was not in a hurry to see the little emperor. I had to settle these people first. Lu Gaoxuan and the others would be easy to handle. They could just find a house. Shuang'er and Wenjuan could
How can I make arrangements? In the past few months since I have been away, I have brought two beautiful girls home. I wonder what Xiaolian will think. When I was in Wutai Mountain, I had already sent five Persian women to Beijing to find her.
Although it was in the name of giving away the forty-two chapters of the Sutra, I still felt a little guilty after all.
But I don't worry about putting Shuang'er and people like Fat Toutuo together. I don't care, just take it one step at a time, Xiaolian is well-educated and sensible, and everything should be fine.
He led everyone directly to Huafeng Tower, but did not see Li Yapeng. After asking a female hall owner, he found out that the heaven and earth run by Qian Laoben had actually opened. Qian Laoben did not have much experience in this area.
Li Yapeng has been helping there these days.
I was so happy that I didn't expect Qian Laoben to move very quickly. Not long after I went out, the world was in full swing. Without stopping, I went straight to Suk Saha's Lao Ben.
Go down on the ground.
When I arrived at the place, I saw the gate was wide open, with lights and colorful decorations in front of it. It seemed that it had only been open for a few days. There were dozens of large sedan chairs and several carriages parked along the roadside, but there was no official sedan chair.
Officials did not dare to come here to play blatantly, so they did not come here in official sedans. On both sides of the gate stood a tall and handsome man, who was very impressive. Before we got off the horse, a man shouted: "Go away, go away,
This is not the place for you to come, so don’t get in the way."
I was stunned by his drink, and asked curiously: "Hey, what kind of place is here, why can't I come?" Before this man could speak, another man said first: "Oh, isn't this Mr. Wei? I'm blinding you.
With his dog eyes, even Mr. Wei didn't recognize him." As he spoke, he ran over quickly, took the reins from my hands, helped me dismount, and then said: "Sir Wei, I haven't seen you for several months. You must be old.
What big thing happened again, tsk tsk, Brother Zhang has been talking about you all day long."
I took a closer look at him, and he seemed to have a kind face. He seemed to be a warrior under Zhang Debiao, so he laughed and said: "I went out to do the emperor's errands. I just came back today. I heard that the Heaven and Earth World has opened. I brought a few friends over to have a look."
He looked back at Lu Gaoxuan and the others.
I haven't told them anything about heaven and earth, so they don't know what I want to do by bringing them here. Seeing that this warrior is arrogant and respectful towards me, they are quite confused.
The warrior shouted to the other: "What are you doing standing there? Why don't you go in and report that Master Wei is back?" The man came to his senses and flew in. The warrior continued: "Sir, follow me.
.” led us inside.
Mr. Qian is really capable, and the garden has been completely renovated. Compared with when he first got this yard, it is like heaven or earth. Money is really a good thing, and it will be comfortable wherever you use it. It used to be a dilapidated garden.
Now it really feels like a fairyland on earth.
Among the four of them, Wenjuan was the only one who had seen some big scenes. She had received training at Pingxi Palace and lived in the garden given to me by Wu Yingxiong for a while, so she was not very surprised. The other three had their eyes opened.
.
Although Shuang'er had lived a good life with the banker for a few days in her childhood, she was too young at that time. Except for the clear memory of Wu Zhirong, the place where her family arrested people, she had no memory of other places. Furthermore,
No matter how lavish the banker is, it is just a mansion of celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River. How can it be compared with a Zhengbai Banner owner like Suk Saha? Not to mention that Qian Laoben has put so much effort into renovating it, this garden alone
The size and grandeur were enough to surprise her. Not to mention Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo, even the main hall of their leader was made of bamboo. She had never seen such a gold-selling den before.
Several people were amazed along the way, especially Fat Toutuo, who thought he had entered a prince's house, and kept asking questions. I was so proud that I pointed everywhere and introduced them to them. But Fat Toutuo
Refusing to give in to me, I said, "It's not your garden. How come you know everything?" I smiled and didn't answer. The samurai who led the way said, "You don't know this yet, sir. This garden is not like that."
It's Mr. Wei who runs the business. His business in the capital is quite big."
Wenjuan listened and said, "Master, this yard is yours too." I was about to reply when I saw Qian Laoben and Zhang Debiao running over to greet them. Behind them was the older Li Yapeng.
Now, my legs and feet are weak, so I follow behind like a somersault.
Good guy, three people are gathered here, it seems that they have put in a lot of effort.
The three of them came to stand in front of me, panting, and said, "Sir, you are back." I nodded and said with a smile, "Look at how panicked you are. I just returned to the capital and heard that this place has opened, so I came over to take a look."
Qian Laoben looked embarrassed and said: "Originally, I was going to wait until you came back before opening the business, but Prince Kang has always been worried about this place and insisted on opening the business in advance. We couldn't defeat him, so we had to follow his wishes." I
He waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter what day it is opened. King Kang likes to be lively and can do whatever he wants. Our business already has someone's share of it."
Seeing what I said, Qian Laoben's expression softened, and he led us to a flower house in the garden and said, "This flower house is specially reserved for you to entertain distinguished guests, so I put a lot of effort into cleaning it up." I hehe.
He smiled and said, "Really? Then I want to take a good look." Then he walked in.
When we entered the flower building, we saw that it was beautifully decorated and magnificent. When we went up to the top floor, it was a flower terrace. The view from all sides was extremely wide, and the scenery of the garden was unobstructed. I was very happy and praised Mr. Qian repeatedly.
Doing things, making an old boy happy as if nothing.
We hurried all the way back to the capital and couldn't find a place to eat at noon. At this time, we were already hungry, so we invited everyone to sit down and ordered the banquet to begin. Because they were sitting there because they were rich, Shuang'er and Wenjuan refused to join us.
I also felt that it was inconvenient to sit at the same table. These two girls were considered my family members after all. How could I let them sit with such big men? So I opened another table for them next to them. Anyway, there were women.
When serving in the hall, they will not be neglected.
Li Yapeng gave a few instructions to the female hall who was waiting on the side, and soon he brought the wine and delicacies to the table. Li Yapeng said with a smile: "In addition to more than 20 imperial chefs from Huafeng Tower, this garden has
We also specially invited dozens of famous chefs from all over the country. It can be said that as long as you can name the dishes from the north and the south, we can make them all in our garden, but in the Qing Dynasty, we can't find another one."
I smiled and said, "Wouldn't that mean that your business in Huafeng Building is also affected?" Li Yapeng looked a little uncomfortable and said, "Young man is incompetent, but the business in the past two months is really not as good as when we first opened."
It's been a while." I said: "You don't have to feel bad. My son was very popular when he first opened the business because the emperor had been there. How could you continue to be so popular? I have to do the same business as you did when you opened the business.
In two years, you have made all the money in Beijing. How can this be true in the world? Tell me, how much income can you make in a month now?"
Li Yapeng said with a bitter face: "It was more than 500,000 taels last month, and only 300,000 taels last month." I laughed and said, "That's right, for a business like yours, every day
It's enough if you can maintain two hundred thousand taels per month. I think the minimum consumption you set should be waived." Li Yapeng said: "It has been waived since last month." I nodded with satisfaction and said: "
You've done a good job, and I really saw you right, you are a business material."
When Li Yapeng was praised like this by me, his old face suddenly smiled like a flower. Zhang Debiao on the side didn't say anything for a long time, but now he wanted to express his gratitude. Seeing that he was about to speak, I waved my hand in a hurry.
He said: "We will discuss the business matters later. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Lu Gaoxuan. He is both civil and military and is a good friend of mine." Lu Gaoxuan was savoring the skills of the royal chef. Listen to me.
After saying this, he quickly stood up and clasped his fists. Among the three, Qian Laoben, a man from the Jianghu community, stood up and returned the salute and said: "I have admired you for a long time. I am Qian Laoben, and I will work with Mr. Wei." He saw that Lu Pang Er was doing things.
I am not an official, so I no longer call me Mr. Wei. I also introduced Fat Toutuo, and everyone secretly expressed surprise when they saw that he was called Fat Toutuo despite his extremely tall stature.
Although Fat Lu and the two have extremely high martial arts skills, they will definitely look down on the three people in front of them, but these three people have made a lot of money since they joined me, and they are naturally well-dressed. In addition, they usually deal with officials.
There was more or less some magnificence. But since the two of them entered this heaven and earth, everything they saw was novel, and their words and actions were somewhat restrained. I looked at them and felt secretly funny in my heart.
After thirty years of drinking, I said to Qian Laoben: "Brother Qian, I have something to bother you with." Qian Laoben said hurriedly: "Young Master's orders." I said: "Mr. Lu moved his family to the capital at my invitation.
Please help me find a bigger house to settle in." Before Qian Laoben could say anything, Zhang Debiao rushed over and said, "No need to bother, I have a ready-made yard here." I wondered: "Why do you have a yard? Could it be that you have a yard?"
After getting rich, you started buying houses and land everywhere?"
Zhang Debiao was very proud and said: "What's the point of spending money to buy land? In my place, there are often some prodigal children. After losing all their family property, they also pledged the houses and courtyards left by their ancestors. Now I have several
The house at the house was just taken over a yard of the Wang family in the west of Beijing a few days ago. My ancestors were originally engaged in Buchou business. Although it is not a luxurious house, it has seventy or eighty houses and is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.
, if Mr. Lu doesn’t dislike it, then move in.” Lu Gaoxuan was startled, stood up and said: “There are only eight people in my family, how can we live in many houses? It’s absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible.”
