However, after these people discovered this, not only did they not restrain themselves, but they thought why the little lady smiles when facing other people, but turns pale when facing us! So instead, they started shouting and yelling even more loudly, which frightened the little ladies who brought the food in. Each one of them was more frightened than the other! This is probably why the monk can’t touch me!
The Jiangnan Building really deserves its reputation. A dozen young ladies came in and out like wearing flowers, filling the two tabletops in the blink of an eye! At this time, the shopkeeper of the restaurant showed up and said: "Everyone, Butler Xu asked me to give you a message, so that everyone can eat and drink as much as they want without any scruples! He will come naturally after he has finished the things at hand!"
These commanders had no intention of ridiculing the shopkeeper, because they also knew that Jiangnan Tower had been dominant in Nanjing for many years and naturally had a strong background. So after the shopkeeper bowed his hands and left, everyone started eating and drinking one cup at a time. ! Fortunately, everyone knew that there must be something important to do today, so they ate a lot of food and only drank a little bit of wine.
After everyone got a little drunk, they obviously spoke a lot more unscrupulously. They discussed among themselves what order the Duke would give this time? Soon everyone reached a consensus, guessing that the Duke was probably on the side of Uncle Wu Ning, so people felt a little bitter in their hearts!
In previous years, the wealthy gentry had a lot of money for expenses. Without this money, life would be much more difficult! However, some people think that although they have never been in contact with Uncle Wu Ning, they are probably from noble families, so they should not be too stingy, and the missing money will probably be made up for!
Although everyone agreed with this point of view verbally, they felt guilty in their hearts! After all, I still know what kind of virtue I have, and if I think about the military households under my command, I can probably get a result!
Just when everyone was chatting enthusiastically, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a very rich old man walked in. When everyone saw him, they all stood up and saluted, almost in unison: "I've met Mr. Xu!"
The person who came in was the steward of the Duke of Wei's Mansion. This man was very famous in Jiangnan. He handled everything outside the Duke's Mansion! However, he rarely directly participates in actual affairs. Generally, he only needs to send one of his subordinates to take care of things, and the matter will almost be settled! But now that he is here in person, it can be seen that he takes this matter very seriously!
The person who followed him was unknown to anyone! But judging from his attire, he must be a famous businessman! This person is none other than Li Dezhou, one of the owners of Liansheng Hao!
But no one here recognized him, and naturally he was dressed like a businessman and was completely ignored. Everyone only focused on getting close to Butler Xu. Butler Xu waved to everyone one by one and could call everyone by name. He would even make some jokes when meeting a junior, which made everyone feel flattered. It was completely impossible to tell that he was the majestic butler in the Duke's mansion!
After the greetings were over, everyone gathered around him and sat down. Some people quickly removed the remaining dishes and served new ones. Some even took the initiative to pour him wine. But Butler Xu said with a smile: "There is no need to change the food and wine. I won't be able to stay here for long. I will just drink two glasses of wine with you!"
Someone in the crowd immediately said: "Master Xu, how can I let you come here and not even have a bite to eat?"
Butler Xu said with a smile: "I don't want to eat. I'm old and don't eat much. And I won't hide it from you. I'll have to sit at the naval table opposite in a while, so I'll explain the matter." That’s all for you!”
He persisted and did not dare to persuade anyone, but someone still said: "Master Xu, if you say that, I really can't help you!"
"Yes, I have to trouble you to make a trip for our business. It really makes you worry!"
"Just give your orders! As long as it's something you give me, I'll definitely do it properly!"
Butler Xu smiled and nodded repeatedly when he heard this, looking very satisfied. Finally, he said: "You may not know the person next to me. Let me introduce you to him. He is one of the owners of Liansheng Hao. His surname is Li, his given name is Dezhou, and his pseudonym is Fangyuan!"
No one even raised their heads while listening to Butler Xu's introduction, and no one said hello! But Li Dezhou didn't seem to see this scene. Instead, he stood up and bowed his hands all around.
At this time, I heard Butler Xu say: "Some of you have heard of Liansheng, some of you have not.
I have heard of it, so let me tell you that the biggest boss in Liansheng Hao is Wu Ningbo. Moreover, before long, our government will also cooperate with Lend Lease Bank to open a Lend Lease Bank, which is what we usually call a gold and silver shop and a money shop! "
As soon as Butler Xu said these words, there was a commotion in the crowd! First of all, the name of Wu Ningbo and Liu Haojia is shocking enough. He is simply a legend of Wanli and even the Ming Dynasty! He was awarded the title of Bo for his meritorious service when he was just a teenager, making him the number one daimyo!
Everyone here is a warrior, and they value status and military merit more. But let alone this aspect, Wu Ningbo single-handedly commanded an army and killed countless pirates, and his achievements far exceeded everyone here! Moreover, Butler Xu revealed that Cai Lai’s intention was actually to cooperate with Liansheng Hao, rather than Liansheng Hao and the government. This shows that Liansheng Hao is the dominant one, which is even more surprising!
This shows that Lianshenghao is also a real behemoth! So it was only then that Li Dezhou's figure became taller in everyone's eyes! But he still looked like a smiling businessman at this time, no different from before.
At this time, everyone realized that Li Dezhou had Beijing, so they simply responded to him according to etiquette. But Li Dezhou saluted again with a smile on his face.
At this time Butler Xu picked up the wine glass and said: "Come, come, come, the introductions have been completed, it's time to have a drink!"
Everyone immediately grabbed their wine glasses and toasted, and someone loudly said, "May the Duke of the country be a noble prince forever!"
Others said: "I wish you good luck and long life!"
After everyone congratulated them, they drank the wine first, and Butler Xu laughed twice when he saw this and drank the wine in the glass. When he put down the wine glass, he twirled his beard and said: "I think you have already guessed it by now. I will not hide it from you, and ask you to do things. What you do is what you often do in the past! But the specifics are Li Dongjia, please speak to you slowly!"
Li Dezhou stood up and bowed his hands to everyone again and said: "My lords, this time I have been entrusted by our great master to shoulder the responsibility of you! It's not a troublesome thing. I just ask you to do the same thing as in previous years to protect safety, but there are some differences. . But don’t worry, everyone, my uncle will not let you lose!"
