This money will naturally be used to fund Cao Bailu and others. After all, these more than 300 people will have to stay in Qi for a long time.
After drawing the sketch in the room, Zhao Kang handed it over, "I have marked all the temporary target candidates, and I will add them later."
Cao Bailu glanced at it and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. The sketch of the terrain was really too horrible to look at.
However, which store is at which location and which street is clearly marked, you can recognize them all after staying there for a while.
"Okay, I'll let them write it down when the time comes."
After putting away the sketch drawn by Zhao Kang, Cao Bailu was about to say something when shopkeeper Ma knocked on the door outside, "Boss, the Zhou family sent someone to send an invitation."
Zhao Kang was a little surprised, "Is it so formal to send an invitation?"
He stood up, opened the door, took the invitation, looked through it and couldn't help but click his tongue.
"What's wrong?" Cao Bailu asked.
Zhao Kang chuckled and said, "It's done. Liu Yanran gave Zhou Ming the official position of Huang Meng. This guy is really lucky."
Shopkeeper Ma said, "Huang Menlang? If he's lucky, Zhou Ming might be able to soar into the sky."
He and Zhao Kang explained the official position of Huang Menlang of Qi State.
Cao Bailu exclaimed, "The emperor's personal servant is an incredible person. Isn't it similar to the Shaobao Shaoshi who was one of the three orphans of the Qian Kingdom?"
Zhao Kang closed the invitation and said, "Don't think about it. Liu Yanran gave it to this Huang Menglan. It shows that it is basically impossible for our Young Master Zhou to skyrocket in the future. This official position is used to make children happy."
"That's true."
Cao Bailu, who knew everything at once, smiled and said, "So we have helped so much, and the Zhou family plans to treat us?"
"That's right. Get dressed up and go to the banquet with me. Lao Ma will take out a thousand taels of silver from the accounting office and take it as a gift."
Cao Bailu pursed his lips and said, "Send money."
Son? It’s really tacky.”
"Tch, what do you know? In this world, only money is real, and everything else is imaginary."
After a while.
Cao Bailu followed Zhao Kang out of the house. The sky was getting dark, and her pink and white dress was very conspicuous. Following Zhao Kang, the two of them really looked like a couple of gods.
Zhenwei Building.
A high-end restaurant in Shengjing City was directly booked by Song Qingyan tonight to celebrate Zhou Ming.
Far away, Zhao Kang saw Zhou Ming waiting at the door.
Putting on a smiling face, he waved, and Zhou Ming responded immediately, running over in three steps.
"Ba Ba, sister-in-law, you are here. You must have a good drink tonight."
Zhao Kang laughed and said, "Do you have to call me Master Zhou from now on?"
"Hey, what do you mean, why are our brothers so polite?"
Zhou Ming leaned closer and whispered, "Besides, I don't want to be such a bad official in the first place. It's not interesting."
Cao Bailu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and Zhao Kang was also a little speechless: "You guy, I promise you a congratulatory gift."
"Oh, how embarrassing is this!"
Looking at the one thousand taels of silver notes, Zhou Ming's little heart skipped a beat, and he quickly pulled Zhao Kang, "Let's go, let's go, my mother and the others are waiting up there. Just waiting for you to come."
Arriving at the top floor of the restaurant, Zhao Kang saw Song Qingyan, Zhou Gui and several women wearing gold and silver.
Over the past few days, Zhao Kang has also learned the details of the Zhou family.
In Zhou Ming's generation, in addition to the two brothers Zhou Gui and Zhou Ming, there are four sisters.
It's just that since Song Qingyan came to power, this woman has used various means to remove Zhou Yue's wives and concubines from the Zhou family.
Several sisters also directly married out of town. If the eldest young master Zhou Gui had not been a man, he might not be able to escape now.
"Master Ba is here."
Seeing Zhao Kang, Song Qingyan stood up from her seat, her pretty face full of smile, and her charming eyes fell on Cao Bailu.
He is really a lovely person like a fairy.
She was dressed in noble and brocade clothes, with the cheap gift from Zhao Kang stuck in her hair. Her makeup was a little more colorful than before, and she really looked like a fox that had become a spirit.
"Madam." Zhao Kang responded with a smile.
There was nothing awkward about the two of them looking at each other.
Song Qingyan groaned, looked at Cao Bailu and said, "This must be Mr. Ba's wife, she is such a beautiful lady."
Zhao Kang smiled and said, "This is my wife Bai Lu, haven't you met my wife yet?"
"I have met Mrs. Zhou, and her appearance is even more stunning." Cao Bailu gave a graceful blessing ceremony.
"Come on, come and sit down. I'm waiting for you two. Mr. Ba, please sit here. I have to thank you very much today."
Song Qingyan arranged the seats, and after Zhao Kang took his seat, he sat next to Zhao Kang.
The people at the same table looked at the two people behind them curiously, especially the chubby Zhou Gui.
There was a bit of confusion in his eyes, and Zhao Kang couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile when he thought of the time this guy called him Uncle Zhao.
"Everyone is here, it's time to serve!" Zhou Ming said to the waiting restaurant waiter.
The waiter responded quickly and went to inform the chef.
Song Qingyan now began to introduce, "Master Ba, this is Mrs. Li, that is Mrs. Zhang, Nuo and her daughter Wanrong..."
"This overbearing young master is my partner tomorrow. Those fragrant skin jade and fragrant water that you had yesterday were all brought by the overbearing young master."
Hearing this, all the girls' eyes lit up. Zhao Kang glanced at Song Qingyan and understood what she meant.
She paved the way for Zhou Ming, and she also opened up connections for herself.
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Master Ba, we are all Zhou Ming's aunts. You can't overprice the fragrant water that day."
Zhao Kang hurriedly said, "Madam, what you said is serious. Let alone selling it, it's all my own. It's okay to give it to all the ladies for your own use."
Mrs. Li covered her mouth and smiled, "This can't be done. After all, this is Zhou Ming's first time doing business. Even if you agree, we elders can't take advantage of your juniors."
"That's what I said." Zhao Kang sneered a few times.
The atmosphere suddenly became lively. At this time, Zhou Gui, who was sitting opposite, looked at him and said in confusion, "Master Ba, have we met somewhere?"
Zhao Kang raised his eyebrows, "How could the young master have such doubts?"
"Guier, have you met Mr. Ba before?" Song Qingyan frowned.
Zhou Gui scratched his head and said, "Sanniang, not really. I just think that Mr. Ba's figure is somewhat similar to that of Zhao Long. By the way, that guy is also from Jingguo."
Zhao Kang barely managed to stop himself and said, "Maybe it's because they look a bit similar. This is my first time coming to Qi. I didn't visit Mr. Gui some time ago, so I hope you're not surprised."
Zhou Gui let out a silly laugh, "This man speaks very nicely. He is much better than that bastard Zhao Long. They are both from Jingguo. The difference is so fucking big!"
He said, "Master Ba, please be polite. From now on, my third brother will ask you to take care of me."
