Wang Jing and the others were born in Qiwang, the fifth surname! Today’s Qiwang, with the fifth surname, a few generations ago were the pillar states of the Sui Dynasty... In fact, Li Er and Li Yuan were also the pillar states of the Sui Dynasty, and further up.
Counting ten or twenty generations, everyone is still from Daijun Wuchuan. Come to think of it, who hasn’t chosen a strong person or something? Haha!...
Li Er, you are not afraid at all.
Pei Ji's ingenious way of livening up the atmosphere made Wang Jing and others even happier.
But just then...
Suddenly, a servant came to the flower hall and reported, "Masters..."
Everyone was busy admiring the snow and the moon, and thinking about the future, when a boy came to report, but no one reacted for a while.
You drink yours and I laugh at mine, but the oldest man on the edge of the crowd, Mr. Zheng Taishan, still noticed, "What's wrong?"
Zheng Taishan's voice was very soft. There was no doubt that he was in a good mood at the moment. He didn't want the servant to spoil the atmosphere, which would result in the servant being punished and the fun of the big guy being ruined.
"Just listen to me and don't make any noise. What's the matter?"
The next moment, the boy smiled awkwardly, and then said...
"Master, this is Butler Liu. He fainted on the street and was carried to the hospital..."
"Take him to the hospital?" Zheng Taishan was startled, and the image of a middle-aged man in his fifties with a very mediocre face but still very shrewd eyes appeared in his mind.
Butler Liu was from Wang Jing, and he was considered a junior to him. However, Zheng Taishan still admired Butler Liu very much and thought he was a good talent.
but……
Butler Liu fainted and was taken to the hospital. What was going on?... No, the main thing is that Butler Liu is just a housekeeper after all. If he is sick, as the master, he has to be concerned, but since he has been sent to the hospital, his life is not in danger, so...
…
If this is the case, then why are you here to report it? Tonight, the scenery of snow and moon in the sky is rare. Everyone was drinking and I told them not to disturb you, so why...
Zheng Taishan was a little confused, what does this mean...
But after a few seconds of confusion, he suddenly felt something bad in his heart.
Wait, that doesn’t seem right...yeah.
There is no special situation, and it is impossible for a housekeeper to report such a trivial matter without warning.
Now that I have reported it...
Does this mean that it is indeed a "special situation"?
Zheng Taishan is also old, and his thinking speed is not fast. These ideas emerge from his mind one sentence after another, which is really a bit laggy.
But just as the conclusion came to mind, Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others also discovered the situation here and came over.
Before Wang Jing could say anything, Zheng Taishan subconsciously asked,
"What on earth is going on? What did Butler Liu say?"
Zheng Taishan subconsciously asked this question. Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others who were about to ask with a smile also subconsciously focused their attention on this question, their eyes...
They all looked at the face of the young boy who came to report the news impatiently.
Then, seeing the young man's flattering smile, he bowed his hands again, and then said, "I just heard that Butler Liu went out to discuss business this morning, but for some reason he suddenly left the shipping company, and in the afternoon...
I heard that more than a dozen merchants ran away at once, and at night..."
Wang Jing and others were confused after hearing this. This... this seems to be quite routine. What is there to say?
Of course, visiting more than a dozen maritime merchants in one afternoon can be said to be quite dedicated at least.
But what is there to report? Although fainting from overwork is very touching, is this a big deal? I didn’t see the old man enjoying the scenery...
This unpleasant thought gradually emerged in his mind as the boy reported it, but then, the boy said,
"At night, Butler Liu continued to go out for a visit, but when he was halfway there, he seemed to hear some words and fell to the ground on the spot... This led to him being sent to the hospital."
"ah?"
Wang Jing's brows furrowed.
This sounds really unusual... It seems that Butler Liu is in a hurry. But is it so urgent to contact the maritime merchant to sell goods? After all, this is Wu Xing Qi Wang's big noodles, and the caramel and sugar in his hand are
The wine is also of good quality. Do you need to rush?
I'm afraid something is wrong here...
Before Wang Jing could ask, the boy had already said, "... Butler Liu was sent to the hospital and was rescued by the doctor for half an hour. He finally regained consciousness, but as soon as he woke up, he gave the doctor twelve bare feet.
I asked the doctor to find someone to tell me that the business was over..."
Speaking of "twelve pairs of pure gold", the boy's eyes were a little dodgey, and it was obvious that he had done a lot of work in this matter... He was nervous and even his voice was much lower.
However, after this small murmur, Wang Jing, Pei Ji, Zheng Taishan and others were all stunned.
It couldn't be said that the voice was too low and couldn't be heard clearly, or it was something else... Everyone felt that there was something wrong with their ears for a while.
The originally bustling flower hall fell silent for a moment...
The snowflakes are flying, and the beautiful scenery is beautiful. The best thing is... silence. But the silence at this moment seems a bit strange and penetrating.
Wang Jing swallowed subconsciously and looked at the boy with dumbfounded eyes, his brows furrowed like some kind of mythical creature in Lovecraft's works... "What did you say? What did Butler Liu say?"
"Uh..." Being stared at by the eldest master, the young man became more and more nervous, fearing that the matter of those two pairs of pure gold would be discovered, but since he was asked this question, he still had to say, "Sir, Butler Liu said...
'The business is all over', that... is just a commoner, I don't dare to deceive the master..."
The boy said this tremblingly.
And then... what he worried and feared did not happen. Wang Jing and others did not ask about the gold or silver at all, but just stayed where they were.
This time it was a long period of nearly twenty seconds...
After this period of sluggishness, Wang Jing, Pei Ji, Zheng Taishan, Cui Baihe and other talents looked at each other in confusion.
Pupil earthquake.
What... is "the business is over"??
Butler Liu is responsible for selling candy and wine, so when Butler Liu said that the business is all over, doesn't that mean...
After a moment, Wang Jing's eyes were full of fear. He took a deep breath and glanced around. He looked at Pei Ji and others with great solemnity and said, "Brothers, I'm afraid this matter may change. We need to go and take a look immediately!"
Of course Wang Jing's intention was to go to Butler Liu and ask clearly what he meant. Pei Ji and others were convinced.
However, when everyone was about to nod at Wang Jing's suggestion, they heard a noise in front of them...
