Chapter 127: The Birthday Banquet of Lin Mansion (2)
At this time, a family member came in and said, "Report to the old master, the eldest master, the eldest girl, and the second master have all arrived."
After hearing this, Lin Zhiyang quickly got up, looked happy and said, "They finally came back, and there was no time to miss."
After Lin Zhengshuo heard this, he said, "Let them come in. It's all for the Lin family's business. It's not easy to run outside."
After the family went down, Lin Zhihu said to Lin Zhiyang: "Brother, Xu Sheng is a man of his life and should be a family. Forget it, but Xu Jin was young and was the time to read more of the Four Books and Five Classics and study hard.
, In the future, you can also compete for our Lin family, but you let him learn how to use the world and learn about things. Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse? What’s more, Feng Wu, a girl, and you let her show up outside, which is also
It’s too despicable to our Lin family.”
Just as Lin Zhiyang was about to speak, Lin Zhengshuo waved his hand and said, "I won't talk about these things today, aren't you afraid of letting Lord Shang laugh at me?"
As he was talking, two men and one woman walked in from outside, and three men and one woman were about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He grew up to be sixty or seventy percent similar to Lin Zhiyang. Behind him, a woman was followed, about seventeen
At the age of eight, her eyebrows are picturesque, her skin is as clear and bright as snow, and she is bright and radiant. She is so beautiful that she is so beautiful that she is wearing a Western-style white long skirt, long
The long skirt was dragged to the ground, covered with complex and beautiful lace, and the waist was tied tightly with a wide band, revealing a slender figure; it was two strands of embroidered hair that drooped from both sides to the chest,
It was burnt into the shape of a cloud roll, and there was a cross in sterling silver around its neck, which was dressed as a European noble woman. Behind the girl, there was also a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, still with a childish look on his face.
Everyone present was stunned by the girl in dress. Even Shang Yi almost had an illusion of having met his time traveling peers.
The three of them went straight to the house, fell to the ground together, gave Lin Zhengshuo a big gift, and said, "Grandpa."
Lin Zhiyang was sitting on the side, his face was also very embarrassed. Lin Zhibo couldn't help it and said, "Feng Wu, what kind of clothes are you wearing? It's really frustrating. He Ti Tong."
This girl is Lin Zhiyang's daughter Lin Fengwu. Because she often lives in Manila, she often wears Western styles. Lin Zhiyang knows it, but she thinks about following the local customs and doesn't care too much, but she just doesn't expect that
She actually came back wearing a Western-style outfit today.
After hearing Lin Zhibo's words, Lin Fengwu said: "This is the clothes related to the lagoons. I came back from Manila. What's the matter with wearing this clothes? Didn't King Wuling of Zhao learn to ride and shoot in Hu clothes back then?"
Lin Zhibo was about to say something else, Lin Zhengshuo hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, Feng Wu, go and change clothes. It's not just our own family, there are so many customers here."
Lin Fengwu then got up and went back to her embroidery room to change her clothes. Lin Zhibo also chased her and said, "Remember, I have straightened my hair. If I don't learn, I will go to learn from Yi Pozi. Isn't a human being a ghost?
What does it look like if you don't want to be a ghost..."
He wanted to say something else, Lin Zhihu hurriedly pulled him and said, "Fifth brother, let's say less today."
Lin Zhengshuo also smiled bitterly, turned to Shang Yi and said, "Sir, I'm making you laugh. Zhiyang is really not strict in his teachings!"
Shang Yi smiled and said, "What's wrong with just wearing a piece of clothing? Women from all over the countries of Taixi are dressed like this. I used to travel to all over the countries of Taixi and saw many of them. I saw each other today, but I thought about it again.
Few past events.”
Lin Zhiyang didn't think it was strange when he saw Shang Yi, so he was relieved. He hurriedly called the two young people to see Shang Yi again. The older one was Lin Zhiyang's eldest son Lin Xusheng, and the younger one was Lin Xujin.
Lin Xusheng is Lin Zhiyang's capable assistant, mainly in charge of overseas businesses. Lin Fengwu and Lin Xujin often live in Manila. This time, their brother and the other two made a special trip back from Manila.
At this moment, another family member came in and said, "Report to the old man, Mao Xiang, Mr. Mao, and Mr. Chen Zhenhui, are here to pay your birthday to you."
Shang Yi was also stunned. The name Mao Xiang might be a little unfamiliar, but his other name was very famous in later generations, namely Mao Pijiang. These two people were among the four great princes in the late Ming Dynasty called later generations.
Both of them were moved. Mao Yujiang and Chen Zhenhui were not old, but they were quite famous at this time. Because they were both members of Fushe, they were in the clear stream in the south.
, very famous. Lin Zhibo specially invited him to add glory to Lin Zhengshuo's birthday party.
Therefore, Lin Zhibo looked even more happy and said, "Father, Mr. Mao and Mr. Chen are the children's friends. This time, I will come to pay my birthday to you. You should go and greet me in person." He stood up and said that,
It seems to be impatient.
Lin Zhengshuo looked at Shang Yi and was quite hesitant. When Shang Yi saw it, he also stood up and said, "Old man, today is your birthday. There are many guests. You can't be rude to the public just for me, so I don't have many.
To worry, please go and greet other guests.”
Lin Zhengshuo hurriedly said, "It's my old man who is rude. Lord Shang invites you to visit the mansion for a while. When the banquet starts, you also want to invite Lord Shang to drink a few more drinks." As he said that, he called two servants over and accompanied Shang Yi.
The Lin family was traveling around the mansion. Then he took his five sons and a group of grandsons to welcome Mao Yujiang and Fang Yizhi.
Although the Lin family is a businessman's house, the large mansion covers a large area, with layers of courtyards and lots of houses. At this time, many guests who came to pay their birthday toured the courtyards everywhere, gathered in groups of three, three, two, and talked about the sky.
In terms of land, there were also people serving tea, snacks, chairs, small tables, etc., and the service was very thoughtful. After Shang Yi came out, under the guidance of his family, he found Wang Fuzhi and Aconia. At this time, the two of them were also
I was walking around in the yard and saw Shang Yi coming.
Hearing Shang Yi that Mao Yujiang and Chen Zhenhui were coming, Wang Fuzhi also showed a hint of enviousness in his eyes, and he wanted to make friends. Shang Yi was also secretly amused in his heart, although Chen Zhenhui's fame is not as good as Mao Yujiang and
Fang Yizhi, but his status in China's future and future Chinese thinking is much higher than these two people. However, it cannot be explained for the time being.
At this time, someone said behind him: "Master Shang, it turns out you are here."
Shang Yi looked back and saw that Li Gefei and Zhang Gengqiu were accompanying the other two, right behind him. Shang Yi also smiled and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang, when did you come?"
Li Gefei said: "I came for a while. Just now, Brother Lin followed the old man to welcome Mao Yujiang and Chen Zhenhui. He had no time to greet us and told me that you were here, so he came here."
Then he pointed to the two people around him and said, "This is Brother Cheng Xiexiang, this is Brother Wang Bai, both famous big businesses in Suzhou. They also have business dealings with us, and their friendship is very shallow. This time they are also
We are here to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Lin.”
The two of them hurriedly bowed and said, "General Shang, I have long admired Daming."
Shang Yi nodded, knowing that this was the partner brought to Li Gefei, but there were so many people here that it was not advisable to talk about these things, so he just nodded and said, "You two, lucky to know."
Li Gefei hurriedly said, "Come on, let's find a place to sit down and talk."
Because he had a close relationship with Lin Zhiyang, he could be considered half of the owner of the Lin family mansion. He immediately asked someone to bring in a round table, a few chairs, and brought tea and snacks from him. Then everyone gathered around
Sitting down in circles, the sea and the sky started to chat.
Cheng Xiexiang said: "This time in Zhejiang rebellion, Suzhou was spared from being looted by the rioters. It was all due to the arrival of the merchant army in time, so that the city was guarded and the people of this city were saved. Speaking of our wealth and life, all of us were adults.
Give it!”
Wang Bai also said: "Yes, yes! And after the merchant army entered Suzhou, not only did the military discipline be strict and there was no violation, but also bought and sold the public, and also built roads and walls in the city, doing a lot of good things that benefit the people.
It is indeed worthy of being a benevolent and righteous army. Recently, all the people in Suzhou said that after our Ming Qi army, another merchant army was launched to protect the country and safeguard the people. It is really a blessing for us and other people. We are also right to be able to govern the army in this way.
Lord Shang deeply admires it!"
Shang Yi also smiled and said, "Two people have been awarded too much. The court has raised troops for a thousand days. It is used for a while. As soldiers, we should report to the country, safeguard the people, and protect the country and the people, so that we can not lose our true nature as soldiers. In the future, merchants will not lose their true nature.
The army will be stationed in Suzhou for a while, and I'm afraid there will be many things to bother you to help me.”
Cheng Xiexiang and Wang Bai naturally knew that they were both local businessmen in Suzhou. Although they were not big businessmen, they were also considered number one in Suzhou. There were more than ten between Lin Zhiyang and Li Gefei.
The business deals and cooperation with each other was pretty good, so the friendship was established. This time I found a partner, Lin Zhiyang and Li Gefei, first of all, because they were locals in Suzhou. With their participation, many things were easier to handle.
.
Cheng Xiexiang and Wang Bai have long wanted to get involved in the silk business. However, although Suzhou's silk weaving industry is developed, it now has a monopoly operation. The two have no way to go and can't get in. Therefore, Li Gefei looks for him.
When they talked, it was said that Shang Yi planned to invest in the silk business, and the two immediately agreed to join the group. First, they were to see Lin Zhiyang and Li Gefei's face, and second, they also wanted to take this opportunity to enter the silk business circle.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Shang Yi's current hot news in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. At least on the surface, Shang Yi is not only the general of Zhejiang, but also supported by Wu Di, while Wu Di is not only a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and Supervisor.
The teacher also belongs to Donglin Yitian, and this backstage is also strong enough, so the two of them are very optimistic about Shang Yi's investment behavior this time. So they also took this look at Lin Zhengshuo's birthday celebration and rushed to Hangzhou to discuss cooperation and plan in detail.
.
While several people were talking and laughing, a crisp and beautiful woman heard a voice from her: "Uncle Li, Uncle Zhang, you are here too."
