This stationery store is not small in scale, and it also runs a calligraphy and painting business. It also supplies various valuable inkstones and other stationery, which is very famous! However, these valuable stationery are usually placed on the second floor. The gang leader didn't want to cause too much trouble, so he had already told the gang members that they could only harm things on the first floor, and they were strictly prohibited from going to the second floor.
When they rushed in, the shopkeeper was chatting and laughing with the two scholars, while the waiter was waiting on the side. The boss knows that everyone who comes to buy stationery has their own preferences, which almost remain unchanged all year round, so there are very few people in the shop, and it is normal for there to be only one shopkeeper and one clerk in front of him.
As soon as the gang leader rushed in with his people, he ordered the gang to push the shopkeeper and the waiter to the ground. Then he said to the two guests: "I will wait for the payment to do the work. You just stand still and it will be fine! Otherwise, there will be collisions." I can’t blame anyone else for it!”
At this time, the gang behind him had rushed in, removed the oilcloth from the earthen jar in his hand, and began to splash water-mixed paint everywhere!
This stationery shop mostly contains various kinds of paper, brushes and other stationery. The rest is fine, but paper and brushes cannot be stained with paint! If it is stained with paint, the brush will no longer be usable, and the paper is even worse. Not only is it stained by paint, rice paper also absorbs water very easily! Once a can of paint is removed, a shelf of thick white paper will basically become completely unusable!
The shopkeeper and the waiter shouted for help, but they were punched so hard that their noses and mouths bleeded! When the two guests saw their miserable state, they were so frightened that they stood there trembling and silent!
When the gang leader saw that the gang members had splashed all the paint quickly, he squatted down and said to the shopkeeper: "You are reluctant to part with a small amount of money. Now you have lost more, right? Someone asked me to tell you, should you give up money? Yes! Let’s go, brothers!”
When the other gang members heard the gang leader's instructions, they threw the empty paint jars against the wall! With the sound of a series of broken earthen jars, the remaining paint inside also painted colorful colors on the wall, making a final contribution! Then these gang members rushed out the door and disappeared with the gang leader in his arms!

As soon as Father Liu sent the first batch of guests in, the second batch of guests arrived! This time it was Zhang Shunping and Heng Heng’s family who came here.
Although Zhang Shunping gave great support to the Liu family when they were in decline, the two families later became extremely close. But the mark of his business background can never be washed away! So whenever something like this happens, he always has to arrive early because of his status.
However, he didn't bring a gift at all when he got off the car, because his family's gifts had already been delivered to the Liu family in advance, and today he was just here for a wedding banquet.
When he got off the bus, Liu and his father hurriedly came forward to greet him. Liu's father said, "Xiandi, why did you come so early? Didn't I tell you the time?"
Zhang Shunping knew that this was the Liu family's promotion of his status, but he couldn't do this! If he comes late, he will have a bad impression in the eyes of other nobles. So he still smiled and said: "I was in a hurry to have a wedding banquet, so I rushed here first!"
Both Liu and his father knew that Zhang Shunping was telling a joke. He came from a wealthy businessman family and had never seen anything to eat or play. How could he care about a wedding banquet! However, they still thanked Zhang Shunping for doing things in a measured manner. So Liu's father said: "It doesn't matter who comes first, but we will leave later tonight. We must have a few more drinks after everyone has left!"
After speaking, Father Liu accompanied Zhang Shunping and walked inside. Zhang Shunping looked at the newly renovated mansion and said with emotion: "Now Gu Ningbo's Mansion has completely come to life! Now that the eldest brother is married, I hope that he will hold the two of them in the next three years, and Gu Ningbo's Mansion will be in full bloom." !”
Father Liu also agreed and said: "Yes, I didn't expect that my Liu family has been passed down alone for several generations, but I only have two sons! When they get married and have children in the future, I will be worthy of my ancestors!"
Having said this, Zhang Shunping opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but did not say anything. But Liu's father guessed what he meant and whispered: "Don't worry about my waiter and your daughter. The waiter has already agreed to this matter! I'll just ask a matchmaker to come and settle the matter after a while!"
Zhang Shunping's face turned red immediately after hearing this! Now his mind was completely at ease! Now that Gu Ningbo's mansion is gaining momentum, everyone can see that the mansion has a bright future! At this time, as a merchant, marrying the legitimate son of Gu Ningbo's house was a great help to him! In the future, not only will he have a backer for business, but his voice in the family will also be greatly improved!
So when he thought of this, he hurriedly said: "Good thing, good thing! I will inform my mother-in-law when I get back, and I must prepare a thick dowry!"
Father Liu said: "It's easy to talk about the dowry! How can we discuss this between brothers? It will never be a loss for the child! It's just that the waiter has a very good idea. He told me that it is okay to get engaged first, but the wedding day must be postponed. !”
Zhang Shunping said anxiously: "The date will be postponed? When will it be postponed?"
Father Liu said: "This stubborn guy actually said that he would not marry a girl until she is twenty years old!"
Zhang Shunping stopped and said in surprise: "Isn't that an old girl?"
Father Liu said helplessly: "That's what I said too! I also advised him not to delay the girl, but this bastard said that the woman is too young and the baby she gives birth to is unhealthy! She has to wait until she is twenty years old. The body needs to grow! What’s more, giving birth to a baby is like planting a field. The crops grown in the cultivated field will be strong! If there is not enough compost in the field, the crops will not grow!”
Zhang Shunping said strangely: "Why is there still such a statement?"
Father Liu sighed and said, "Don't tell me, it's really true! I also asked several imperial doctors in the palace, and they all said the same thing! And haven't you noticed that the children of the imperial doctors in the palace all get married?" It’s relatively late!”
Zhang Shunping walked forward in small steps, looking thoughtful. But he was not familiar with the imperial doctors in the capital, so he couldn't think of anything. Liu's father comforted him and said, "Don't worry, dear brother, since I have agreed to this marriage, there will definitely be no other changes! Moreover, the engagement should be done in a high-profile manner so that more people know the news." That’s it!”
Zhang Shunping knew that Liu's father had good intentions, and he also knew that the situation was stronger than the person. He could only helplessly turn his head to look at Liu Haojia who was standing at the gate, and then nodded in agreement.
However, he was still thinking that in the future, the girl should find more excuses to visit Uncle Gu Ning's house, so as to enhance the relationship between the children. But it would be great if something happens with Liu Hao’s family in advance!
