When Wang Pang entered the palace to talk to Renzong, Wang Anshi and Mr. Bao Zheng were arguing in Kaifeng Mansion. They were arguing over who would host Wang Pang's wedding.

Mr. Bao and Wang Anshi were also worried about Wang Pang's wedding. They were vying to host it, but they couldn't manage it no matter what. This guy had made many friends in both official circles and shopping malls. There was no one in either house.

To arrange this marriage, Kaifeng Mansion is a large place, but only the south inner residence is Mr. Bao's private residence. If it were in Meyer Mansion, it would be a bit difficult.

It doesn't make sense not to have a banquet, but a rough calculation of the banquet would require forty or fifty tables. Wang Pang suggested having separate banquets, but Mr. Bao said that the groom couldn't ride back and forth on horseback to toast.

Bao Zheng proposed to hold two batches on separate days, but Wang Anshi said that it was impossible to perform the ceremony twice.

The two were arguing when a government official came and reported: "The right general has been summoned by the emperor."[

After hearing what he said, Bao Zheng, who was writing something unknown on the writing desk with a pen on the straw, put down his pen. He and Wang Anshi looked at each other, and the person waiting to report the news left the room. Bao Zheng said: "I said Jie Fu

, you have also heard about the burning of the boat by the king."

Wang Anshi sighed and said with a look of frustration: "Look, sir, I really hope that Wang Pang's son is your own son. This kid's ideas are not ordinary."

Master Bao said: "I still tell this kid to keep a low profile, and he will always do something unexpected for you."

Wang Anshi smiled slightly: "Forget it, everything is just left to chance. If he makes too much trouble, I will just resign. According to the current court laws, the court will not be too involved. But my only worry is that it will affect Yuanze in the future."

Bao Zheng asked: "Yuanze is going to take the autumn exam this year. It would be great if I take the exam with him."

Wang Anshi shook his head: "You still don't know that child. Firstly, he doesn't like to study, and secondly, he doesn't like to be an official. He is crazy all day long. This kid is quite big now. I don't know what the outcome will be if I enter the palace at this time."

Bao Zheng waved to Wang Anshi: "Come, let's have tea and wait. It's useless to be anxious. Besides, I'll let you and I discuss his marriage for a long time. In the end, he will make his own decision. You, my dear father, and I

Even this foster father has no idea about him."

Wang Anshi was helpless, and Master Bao was right at all. Despite this, both of them were still sweating for Wang Pang. They waited and waited until noon, but Wang Pang still hadn't come back.

Master Bao couldn't sit still. Could it be that he had a disagreement with the young master in the palace, or was punished by the emperor. He stood up and wanted to go into the palace to see what happened, but he saw someone reporting that the emperor was staying by his side.

Dinner with the right general in the palace. When Bao Zheng and Wang Anshi heard the news, they let out a long sigh.

News from their side was quick, but Yue Xia and the others at the Meyer Mansion were even more anxious.

Wang Pang was busy. He had the imperial meal with the emperor, and then went to Kaifeng Mansion to report that he had met the two elders. As they expected, Wang Pang made a surprising statement again.

"I plan to take care of this myself."

Master Bao glanced at him: "You are so capable, but your father and I are worried. We only care about providing money, and we don't care if you fail."

Wang Pang chuckled: "It is up to the children to start a family and start a business. My parents already have a lot of trouble with me, so let the children do it themselves."

After hearing what he said, Wang Anshi and Mr. Bao didn't say much. They just made a plan. If he messed up the matter in a hurry, the worst he could do was hold a banquet to entertain his colleagues.

After returning from Kaifeng, Wang Pang returned to Meyer Mansion first. Seeing everyone telling him that he was safe, he took Xiao Lu Helibao to collect the banknotes. Even the banknotes were full of boxes, and Xiao Lule was speechless.

No. I have never seen so much money in my whole life.

He went back to Prince Meyer's house and asked Xiao Lu to return all the money to the accounts. Xiao Lu was making abacus while checking the accounts and writing in the account books. In the end, he stared at the abacus in a daze.

Wang Pang had already planned the banquet in his mind. When he looked back, he saw Xiao Lu staring blankly in a daze, so he asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Xiao Lu pointed at the abacus, and then pointed at the remaining banknotes after all the costs and expenses were deducted: "Everything, everything, is correct." [

Then why are you so dazed? Wang Pang came over and took a look in confusion. To be honest, the number made his heart beat. This money was clearly given to him by Jianzhou. If it weren't for Cai Xiang's guarantee, the cost of such a large number and such a

I have never thought about how much profit I can make.

Originally, Wang Pang didn't think that tea would be such a financial investment. Even when he was rich, he only drank tea worth a hundred or ten yuan. Before leaving, he even made some calculations and purchased the first batch of qianjin for the palace.

The tea in the inner courtyard was nothing. But during the trip to Jianzhou, I discovered that the Song Dynasty people drank tea very extravagantly, but it made Wang Pang look exaggerated. What was originally a simple and fragrant thing, became complicated.

As a result, after the whole trip to Jianzhou, the gross profit was about six to seven thousand taels of silver. No wonder Renzong said at that time that if he did not give the reward, the business he handed over to Wang Pang would be enough for him to go to Xixia.

Xiao Lu was so surprised that he was speechless. He had never seen so much money in his life. This year's net income from just supplying the palace tea was basically equivalent to Mr. Bao's annual income. But Wang Pang knew that this

It's just gross profit. Now it's a big house, so many people feed horses, and they also need to buy a tea factory. Jianzhou is also planning to buy a tea base. Basically, there will be nothing left in the first year or two.

He patted Xiao Lu and said, "This is nothing." Xiao Lu stared at him. How did he know that the young master in front of him had the appearance of seventeen or eighteen years old and the mind of more than thirty years old? He didn't even know what Wang Pang had.

past life experiences.

At this time, there was another person in the room, who had been sitting there silently. That person was Yuexia. The king saw that Yuexia was sitting opposite Xiao Lu. He did not watch Xiao Lu settle accounts, but just looked outside. The door was open at night.

Extraordinarily bright, it seems that these money matters have nothing to do with her.

Knowing that Xiao Lu called him: "Boss lady, boss lady?"

Yuexia didn't understand at first, but then she came to her senses after hearing two or three calls that didn't sound like calling someone else. Xiao Lu had already placed the banknotes and other items in front of her.

Yuexia took it over and frowned: "It must be your young master who asked you to call it that, it sounds weird."

Wang Pang chuckled: "You will have to pay more attention in the future."

Seeing the two of them talking, Lu Shenyan finished his work and stood up to leave. Before leaving, he wrote a note of payment in a decent manner. Wang Pang stamped it with his seal and debited the money from Yuexia to be used before Wang Pang's wedding.

The house was decorated. After receiving the money, he went back and gave it to Yan Zhihu.

Seeing Lu Shenyan leaving, Yuexia put the silver coins in the box in the secret cabinet of the room and locked it. Yuexia handed the key to Wang Pang. Wang Pang said, "Just put it away." That's what he said, but

I have seen this ancient lock-headed king before, but it is basically in name only.

Yuexia asked: "I don't know that you are busy with getting married, but I'm afraid you have to travel far away again."

Wang Pang said: "It's not urgent. I still have some things to do. Now that the waterway is convenient, it only takes a day or two to go back and forth to Jincheng. There is no need to go to Jianzhou this year. I can only finish the things that need to be done in the capital."

, it’s just the right time to go to Xixia in autumn.”

Yuexia didn't ask much after hearing this, but he was curious about why Wang Pang didn't start organizing a banquet when the wedding date was set.

Wang Pang had his own plan. The next day, he asked Xiao Lu to wander around the capital. He wanted to find a hotel where banquets could be held. In ancient times, banquets were held in the house, which was very troublesome. Wang Pang was going to come.

an innovation.

The two of them walked around the street but were still not satisfied with Wang Pang. Either the store was too small or the decoration was too tacky. After walking two streets, they arrived at the entrance of Renhe Building. I haven't been here for more than half a year. Renhe Building

There is this notice posted at the door, saying that the shop owner wants to sell this restaurant.

Wang Pang didn't know what happened. He had always had feelings for Renhelou. This was the place where he saw Yuexia for the first time. Looking inside, he saw that the shopkeeper and the waiter were both taking a nap. There was no one in the hotel. Wang Pang stood at the door.

After coughing, the waiter opened his eyes first and saw Wang Bian. He came up to him, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Young Master is here to see the shopkeeper."

Manager Cui of Renhe Building also woke up. He had known Wang Pang for a long time and hurriedly came to greet him. "Master Wang, you haven't been here for a while."

Wang Bian cupped his hands and said, "Shopkeeper Cui, I have just returned to the capital from an outing. I wonder why Renhelou quit?"

The shopkeeper asked the king to sit down and ordered the waiter to serve tea and said: "Young master, you don't know. Although my Renhe Restaurant is not the first brand restaurant in the capital, it is still good in terms of area and reputation of the dishes. It's just that.

Because it’s a time-honored restaurant, it probably won’t be as fancy as those newer restaurants.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the sign with the name of the dish on the wall and said: "In the past six months, many fresh shops have opened in the capital, and the dishes are always updated. Our cooks are getting older, and the price of hiring a new cook is high.

High. For one cook and one firewood maker, the cost is higher.[

This ordinary dish will attract fewer customers."

The king listened to him, and when he saw the shopkeeper, he said again: "Our decoration is not as good as those of new hotels, and there are no famous singers and geishas stationed there. If we can't keep up with the colorful products, will it decline like this?"

Wang Pang nodded: "If the shopkeeper doesn't sell out now and persists for a few more months, even if the autumn exams are held, the business will be easy to do."

Cui Fu said: "If you don't sell it, you will have to pay the fee if you open the door. I can't bear it now. Only the waiter is still following me. Everyone else has left. I have to pay the tax whether I open the door or not. Anyway, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."

In a few months, we might as well go out and save some money, find a small place where just the two of us can have a snack."

Seeing Cui Fu's frustration, Wang Pang asked Cui Fu to show him the restaurant. The restaurant has three floors.

There are nine private rooms. Wang Pang calculated it, and it should be enough for a wedding banquet.

Xiao Lu and Na Renhelou's waiter chatted lively down below. The waiter asked Xiao Lu: "Why does this prince, who has such a big business, hang out in our restaurant?"
