()That slap-in-the-face Simon is going to have a big wedding!
This news spread at an extremely fast speed in Bianliang City. Except for a small number of distinguished guests, Ximen Qing and others personally sent invitations, and a large number of other invitations were sent everywhere through the black-clothed inspectors of the Imperial City Department.
Thirty-six shopkeepers were given one, and no one was left behind.
More than half of the shopkeepers received the invitation as if they had received a hot potato and didn't know how to deal with it.
As a result, everyone gathered in the private room on the fourth floor of Fengle Building to discuss how to respond.
"The invitation said clearly that tomorrow, the fifth day of June, will be at Chuixuelou." A fat shopkeeper flicked the invitation in his hand: "It seems that everyone has received it."
Another shopkeeper asked: "Where is Chuixuelou? The thirty-six main stores do not have this name. In my opinion, there is no need to go there."
"I think you are getting too old, Old Li, and you are confused." The fat shopkeeper from before said: "Who is Ximen Qing? The new commander of the Imperial City Division, the celebrity in front of King Jia! This Chuixue Tower is said to be the one he is about to enter.
It was opened by my concubine, but who doesn’t understand that it is Ximen Qing’s own property?”
Can Mr. Liang be proud of our visit?" Hehe." Shopkeeper Hu touched his chin: "Once Chuixuelou opens, not only us, but all the thirty-six main stores will be unable to sit down."
I heard that several of the chefs at Fengle House were poached. I’m afraid that Mr. Liang’s face will no longer be able to show off.”
As soon as this statement came out, other shopkeepers also started talking about it.
"Master Liang has been living in seclusion recently, and I don't know what he is doing. If this continues, won't we be given the upper hand by those people?"
"What if Chuixuelou and that gang of people get together?"
"You know what the heck, Mr. Liang has recently taken a beautiful concubine. He is just having fun at home. How can he have the time to care about this?"
"In that case, why not appoint a new leader?"
"I think Shopkeeper Hu is pretty good!"
"Everyone, everyone!" The more shopkeeper Hu listened, the more unpleasant he said: "Hu's family is in trouble for one-third of an acre of land. How can he lead everyone? In my opinion, Mr. Liang is the best. But Mr. Liang has become depressed recently.
Quite a few, everyone still needs to think of a way."
"You, Shopkeeper Hu, can be considered to be self-aware." Shopkeeper Li mocked: "The two concubines in your house have been very noisy recently?"
"Li, what do you mean?" Shopkeeper Hu slapped the table: "I'm just trying to be polite, but you're trying to bully the boss? You have the ability, so you can be the boss!"
Shopkeeper Li was about to speak when he saw the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open. Liang Le came in wearing single clothes and waving a fan. He shouted: "If Liang is not here, everyone has rebelled!"
Shopkeepers Hu and Li suddenly fell silent, and everyone present stood up and saluted.
Liang Le waved his fan and asked all the shopkeepers to sit down. He took the seat himself. He looked around and sneered: "It seems that you have been thinking about Liang's position for a long time. Let me declare that Liang who is willing to take this position will give up at any time!"
"Don't dare! Don't dare!"
"It would be better for Mr. Liang to take the lead."
"Then you still say that Liang is depressed!" Liang Le chuckled and said, "Look at Liang, does he look depressed?"
When the shopkeepers looked at it, Liang Le seemed a little thinner than before, but his energy was exceptionally good. He even felt a little dizzy.
Since taking the "spiritual medicine" provided by the Shenxiao Sect, Liang Le feels very good about himself. Of course, bathing three times a day is a bit troublesome. There is nothing he can do because his yang energy is too strong.
Take clothing as an example. The shopkeepers still wear loose clothes and long sleeves. Liang Le has already changed into single clothes, and even wearing a gauze jacket feels hot.
Even so, Liang Le had to keep the fan in his hand and drink iced sour plum soup every time.
"Everyone must have received the invitation." Liang Le saw that everyone bowed their heads, and then he said: "Ximen Qing opened Chuixuelou in my concubine's name. He didn't even put up the plaque at the moment. He clearly wanted to take advantage of it.
This opportunity to hold a grand wedding will make Chuixuelou famous!"
"That's what Mr. Liang said." Shopkeeper Li flattered him: "We shouldn't go. If we go, wouldn't it make Ximen Qing look bad?"
"No!" Liang Le said with a smile: "If you want to go, no one should be missing! We are all colleagues, so we should support you."
Shopkeeper Li suddenly felt flattered, and didn't know what to say for a moment. Liang Le looked at it and sneered: "You all think that Liang has suffered a lot recently, and even several cooks have been poached? This is Liang."
Do you understand the way of promoting first and suppressing later?"
"Those cooks were apparently poached by Chuixuelou, but in fact Liang still has a firm control over them. Now he will use them at the critical moment, and now he will make Ximen Qing proud.
A few days!”
"Oh I got it!"
"I mean, how could Mr. Liang suffer a loss in vain?"
Liang Le looked condescendingly at the shopkeepers with a look that looked like idiots, and continued: "What Liang gave away must be repaid twice as much! Ximen Qing is going to have a big wedding, so Liang gave him a gift!"
"Everyone, wait and see the show tomorrow!"
.

"Tomorrow is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Fortunately, everything was done in a hurry." Jiang Jing, the magic fortune teller, took a long list and sketched it out with a pen: "Master, please place orders for all the shopkeepers of the thirty-six main stores.
I received the invitation, is this appropriate?"
"We are all colleagues, what's inappropriate?" Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Don't forget that at least half of them are standing opposite Liang Le. At the same time, this is also an opportunity for them to get to know Jingyang, the thirty-six family members.
All the shops have to sell it. Not only did I invite thirty-six regular shops, but I also sent invitations to those Goulan brothels. "How can we supply it?" Jiang Jing, the divine fortune teller, looked worried: "Another one is for sale.
Will it affect the price if there is too much? "Of course it is a high-priced product, so sell it at a high price." Ximen Qing chuckled and said, "Mr. Jiang, has he forgotten how we did business in Qinghe County?"
Jiang Jing suddenly said: "The Hunger Method! The boss is talking about the Hunger Method!" Don't forget that we also have the tonic wine made by Doctor An! The price is at least ten times more than the ordinary Jingyang Chun! I plan to promote these through Goulan Brothel
To replenish wine, not to sell it in Chuixuelou."
"The Anshen Medical experiment has been completed, and the results are very good." Ximen Qing continued: "These tonic wines are all added with ingredients. Those high-ranking officials need them most!"
"Not only these, Mahjong should also take the opportunity to promote it!"
The more Ximen Qing talked, the more excited he became, talking out ideas one after another. Jiang Jing, the fortune teller, was so stunned that he even forgot to nod.
"Why, Mr. Jiang, don't you write it down?" After Ximen Qing talked for a while, he saw Jiang Jing was dumbfounded and reminded him.
"Yes, yes, these should be written down." Jiang Jing hurriedly took the Four Treasures of the Study and scribbled.
Ximen Qing took a deep breath to calm down. There will be a big wedding tomorrow, and not only friends will come, but also enemies!
But if you are afraid of them, why bother sending invitations?
"Sir, there is a Huangmen official at the door."
Ximen Qing's thoughts were interrupted by the painting boy.
"Guan Huang? Could it be that Zhao Kai is looking for me?" Although Ximen Qing went to Prince Jia's Mansion in person, since Zhao Kai was not there, he just asked the concierge to hand over the invitation.
When I walked to the front yard, I saw a middle-aged Huang gate official waiting in the yard. His face seemed quite anxious.
"Sir Ximen, please follow me. Your Majesty has urgently summoned you."
When the Huangmen official saw Ximen Qing coming out, he stepped forward and saluted.
"So it's not Zhao Kai, but his father Zhao Ji who is looking for me?" Ximen Qing was confused: "And you're in such a hurry?"
"This father-in-law, what did the Holy Spirit say?"
When Ximen Qing asked him, Huangmenguan replied with a sharp voice: "I just want to pass on a message, I don't know anything else."
Before he finished speaking, Ximen Qing handed over a note in his sleeve, and the Huangmen official immediately changed his words and said: "Maybe it was something that happened to the General Bureau's spies some time ago. Sir, you'd better pack up quickly and go with the villain. King Jia is also going.
of."
"Father-in-law, please come to the study for tea while I change my clothes."
Ximen Qing shook his head secretly. He had already met Zhao Ji at Master Li's office on Maxing Street, and he didn't know how the Taojun Emperor would react to this meeting.
King Jia Zhao Kai also wants to go together.
While Ximen Qing was thinking about it, he walked behind and changed into his official uniform. After saying a few words, he turned back and came out. The Huangmen official was having tea in the study and had secretly looked at the Zhang Jiaozi and saw that it belonged to Zhang Wuguan. He was very happy.
Not Zisheng, he was even more polite when meeting Ximen Qing.
Money can make the world go round. Ximen Qing smiled slightly at Huang Menguan's reaction, then asked Shutong'er to prepare his horse and entered the palace with Huang Menguan.
The two dismounted from Donghua Gate and walked in. Ximen Qing came in for the first time, so he looked around and saw the majestic Zichen Hall and the resplendent Chongzheng Hall, so his steps slowed down.
“In the past, you had to pay a ticket to go to the Forbidden City, but this time it’s completely free, and you’ll also get an audience with the emperor. The Forbidden City doesn’t have this kind of service. The most you can do is wear a fake dragon robe and take silly photos.”
The Huangmen official rushed all the way, and the officials summoned him on weekdays. Even Master Cai rushed there in a hurry. This was the first time that Ximen Qing was treated as a tourist.
When you turn around, you will see the Ruisi Hall in front of you. Zhao Ji usually works and eats here after retiring from the imperial court. Huangmenguan took Ximen Qing nearby and saw a young man pacing back and forth in front of the hall. It was not the Jia Wang Zhao Kai.
But which one?
Huang Menguan came forward to salute and then went on his own. Ximen Qing also saluted in a formal manner. Zhao Kai frowned and said, "Why did you come here? The Holy Father asked me twice!"
"The lower official came in a hurry when he was summoned. He didn't delay on the way." Ximen Qing said: "Is it because of the general affairs bureau that the emperor summoned me?"
"That's about it. Don't talk nonsense for a while." Zhao Kai said: "When the Holy One asks, this is my response. Remember!"
When Ximen Qing heard this, he knew that this fifteen-year-old boy had some ideas, so he immediately agreed. The fastest way to read the novel "Master" is at Kanshula.com. Welcome to log in to read the full text!
