"Run Chen, I have to say that you really have a solution. Then Xia Shan, who is about to be beheaded, can be exempted from his guilt with this request, and he will only be imprisoned for six months."
At the dinner table, Master Su Yunqi looked at his eldest son Su Runchen with a smile on his face.
Hearing his father's compliment, the eldest young master Su Runchen raised his head, looked at his father's usually stern face, and only replied: "It's useless to beg you."
After hearing this, Mrs. Fan on the side gave her son Su Runchen a push with her elbow. Although she didn't say anything, the look in her eyes was an exhortation.
"Indeed. It's useless to beg me." After saying this, Mr. Su Yunqi raised his glass of wine, took a sip, and ate the food without saying anything more.
After meeting the two ladies on the side, they competed for favor as before.
"Come on, sir, try this Dongpo meat." The second lady, Lan, smiled and held a piece of Dongpo meat and handed it to Master Su Yunqi's bowl.
Unexpectedly, whether it was the second lady Lan's hand shaking or the master Su Yunqi's influence on the second lady Lan, the piece of Su Po meat fell onto Su Yunqi's clothes.
After seeing the meat falling off, the second lady Lan looked at the master anxiously and kept apologizing: "Master, master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Seeing the second lady Lan in a hurry, Mr. Su Yunqi became a little angry and said, "I won't eat."
After saying that, Mr. Su Yun stood up, glanced at Lan with a sideways glance, and then walked to the study.
When Mrs. Fan saw it, she remained silent and concentrated on eating.
However, at this moment, a wealthy family in Yanyang City was having a celebration party happily.
"Today! It's my father's 60th birthday! Thank you all for coming to participate in my father's 60th birthday!"
The speaker was Liu Zhiyong, the son of Liu Hongyuan, the richest man in the Liu family in Yanyang City.
I saw that the lobby was full of guests. Most of the people attending the meeting were relatively famous people in Yanyang City.
Liu Hongyuan, the eldest master of Liu Mansion, was sitting in front of the hall like a birthday boy, looking at all the guests in front of him with his old eyes.
After listening to the words of the eldest son of the Liu family, several guests raised their heads, saluted, and said, "It should be right."
After being entertained over and over again, Liu Hongyuan, the eldest son of Liu, raised his glass of wine and said, "Today! Everyone, you can eat as you like! Drink as you like! We will entertain you with good wine and good food! Eat well and drink well!"
"Yes Yes Yes."
For a moment, all the guests raised their glasses of wine and toasted.
"Mr. Liu, it's September now, my Zhang family's profit has dropped a lot this month. I wonder what happened to all of you sitting here?" said the Zhang family.
The person who spoke was Zhang Yongwang, the master of the Zhang family.
At this moment, the people sitting in the huge lobby of Liu Mansion are all famous cloth merchants in Yanyang Chengzhong.
Most of what these merchants sell are clothes. However, these clothes are not used by the imperial court, but are used by dignitaries and ordinary people in Yanyang City and the people of the Great Mo Dynasty.
As it happens, the weaving industry in Yanyang City is second only to Jiangnan.
After hearing this, other merchants smiled slightly and started talking about it.
At this time, a merchant named Ding started talking to him: "The Zhang family is telling the truth, and so is my Ding family."
Listening to several merchants talking incessantly, Rich Man Liu finally spoke: "Are all of you sitting here like this?"
Several merchants nodded.
"It's true. I heard that the silk has been growing in value in the past few months. I wonder if it's true?" the Wang family said.
"Everyone, I am also aware of this matter. Regarding the silk, I heard that it is the rainy season in some areas. It has been raining non-stop, which has affected the silk. The supply is in short supply, so the price has increased." Liu Dacai Smiled slightly.
After hearing what Rich Man Liu said, several merchants began to speak their minds.
"Rich Man Liu, your family has the largest business in this capital, and is also a role model for dozens of merchants in this capital. Please tell me, should the price of our clothes increase, or should they not grow longer?" said a man named Ruan. the merchant asked.
"That's right, Rich Man Liu. We know that your family is the richest in the capital. The increase in the price of silk may not matter to your family, but to us small businessmen, it is the breadwinner of our entire family. .”
"that is."
Listening to what one family after another said, the rich man Liu smiled slightly: "In that case, let the Liu family think about the silk price for a while before making a decision. We will definitely make a unified price at that time. Do you think it is okay? "
Hearing such words, a merchant was a little unhappy: "Mr. Liu, according to what you said, the price is unified, but each store's techniques are different, how can we do business?"
"that is."
After hearing this, the wealthy merchants on the side burst into agreement again.
Hearing the merchants in front of him talking incessantly, as if they were here to celebrate his birthday, Rich Man Liu became a little angry.
After hearing this, the son of the rich man Liu on the side looked at the merchants and said: "Today is my father's sixtieth birthday. We will discuss the business matters another day!"
"Yes Yes Yes."
"Yes, that's true."
After the son of the rich man Liu said this, these merchants just stopped talking about business matters.
After a long time, the celebration gradually came to an end.
"Everyone! My father is celebrating a banquet today! We have prepared fireworks! I hope you will step outside and watch them together." said the son of Rich Man Liu.
After hearing this, these merchants who had eaten and drank enough just moved slightly and headed outside.
Rich Man Liu followed behind and walked slowly forward.
Then, a large group of beautiful fireworks bloomed in the sky in front of him.
Some of the fireworks are like blooming flowers, some are like big mushrooms, some are like a silver waterfall, and some fireworks have spread out and I can't describe their appearance. Red, blue, yellow, green, several colors mixed together, colorful and very beautiful!
"Dad, the wishing lantern is ready." The son of the rich man Liu on the side said.
"Okay." Rich Man Liu said with a slight smile.
Later, the servants of the Liu family presented the unfinished wishing lantern.
This wishing lantern is a Kongming lantern, wrapped in a yellow skin, like a colored cicada pupa.
"Dad, the wishing lantern is ready, but the word has not been written. Come and pick up the pen." said the son of wealthy man Liu.
After hearing this, Rich Man Liu smiled slightly and looked at the servant beside him: "I will serve you with pen and ink!"
Then, the pen and ink were delivered.
Looking at the moonlight in the sky, Rich Man Liu looked at the dozens of merchants in the capital beside him and murmured to himself: "Everyone, since my Liu family has become a big business, I have always called me Rich Man Liu. In fact, I He is not considered a rich man, he just has a big family and a big business."
"Rich Man Liu, you are so humble. I heard that Cen has collected many rare and precious treasures in Liu's house, how could it not be the case?" Merchant Cen said with a smile.
Hearing Merchant Cen's words, Rich Man Liu smiled slightly: "Since everyone wants to get rich, let me write about the time of getting rich."
After saying that, Rich Man Liu picked up his pen and started writing on the Kongming Lantern.
Seeing Mr. Liu writing something with a pen, the merchants on the side gathered around to watch.
After writing, several merchants on the side smiled slightly and read: "Wealth and prosperity, peace and prosperity for the country and the people."
After hearing this, Rich Man Liu smiled slightly, stroked his black and white beard, and said: "Wealth and glory are not only for my Liu family, but also for you all. However, the peace and prosperity of the country is the hope of the people of the Mo Dynasty."
Hearing the rich man's words, dozens of merchants smiled slightly and praised him one after another.
"Click it." Rich Man Liu said.
"Okay." Rich Man Liu's son looked at the servants on the side and said, "On it."
Then, the servants of the Liu Mansion lit up the Kongming Lantern, and the two of them held the Kongming Lantern and slowly let it fly up.
The sky lanterns flew higher and higher with the wind. At first they were very big, making people feel like a house floating in the air, emitting a charming light.
Gradually it becomes thinner and thinner and begins to blend into the night sky, becoming a star in the sky. The lights turned into stars, and the stars floated in the night sky with their blessings.
Unconsciously, the Kongming Lantern flew higher and higher, and seemed to become smaller and smaller, heading upward instead of going up.
The Kongming Lantern carries blessings and keeps flying farther and farther.
Then, a gust of wind blew, blowing the Kongming Lantern, causing the Kongming Lantern to change its direction.
The Kongming Lantern followed the direction of the wind and flew all the way over the Su Mansion.
Then, the Kongming lantern landed on the roof, and the light of the candle burned along the wooden boards.
Coupled with the blowing wind, the fire spread more and more.
"It's gone! It's gone!"
After seeing the fire, the servants of Su Mansion shouted at the fire.
Through the window of Mr. Su Yunqi, I saw the faint fragrance of bamboo filling the house around me. The hollow carved window canopies were filled with tiny bits of sunlight. I took a closer look and saw that under me was a piece of soft green gauze. The wooden bed is decorated with exquisite carvings. It is covered with a brocade quilt. Turning sideways, an ancient woman's boudoir comes into view. The guqin stands in the corner, and the bronze mirror is placed on the wooden dressing table. The house is so fresh and relaxing.
Everywhere on the dressing table was clean, but the rouge products on the table seemed to have never been moved.
It seems that this old man, Su Yunqi, has been sleeping alone for a long time.
Then, the door of Su Yunqi's room was opened, and two people rushed in.
"Master! Master! Master! Master!"
"It's not good! It's not good! It's not good!"
Two people yelled for a long time before Su Yunqi woke up from his deep sleep.
Looking at the two people standing aside, Master Su Yunqi looked confused and scolded: "Don't sleep well in the middle of the night! You are panicking! Yelling! How unbecoming!"
After listening to Master Su Yunqi's words, someone boldly said: "Master! You're out of luck."
"Take the water? Where to take the water?" Mr. Su Yunqi looked confused.
"Master, there's something wrong with the house." Another servant said.
"It's gone." After hearing this, Mr. Su Yunqi got out of bed in a panic, grabbed some clothes, put them on quickly, and ran out.
Looking at the master who moves faster than himself, it is indeed the first time for the two of them to see each other.
