After Mr. Sheng and his party left Kyoto.
Wen Jin sent her son to study, and she left the house dressed in men's clothing.
Her carriage stopped at a fork in the road.
Because there was a carriage waiting for her there.
The curtains of the carriage were lifted.
Inside, Feng Yuan's face was revealed, which was charming and charming.
He smiled brightly and said, "Song Tao was very happy when he heard that you were willing to meet him and discuss cooperation with him in person. To show his attention and solemnity, he booked three boats for a banquet."
"Let's go." Wen Jin said.
"You come over and sit down? Or should I go over?" Feng Yuan said with a smile.
Wen Jin looked at him lightly and said, "You go ahead and my carriage will follow."
Feng Yuan curled his lips and said, "Two men, do you still need to ride in two carriages? You are too foreign."
Wen Jin put down the car curtains, leaned on the soft pillow, closed his eyes and rested, and ignored him.
Fengyuan smiled and told the driver, "Let's go."
The carriage went on for a while.
Wen Jin fell asleep on the rocking carriage.
When she woke up, she didn't know how long the carriage had been stopped.
She opened the door and saw the coachman Zhang Liang and Fengyuan's coachman sitting on the grass nearby, eating sunflower seeds and chatting.
"Why didn't you call me?" Wen Jin jumped out of the carriage.
Fengyuan glanced at her, "It's still early, don't delay the business."
There were many carriages parked by the water, but they were neat and not noisy.
Fengyuan took her towards the river.
Fengyuan said "three painted boats", in Wen Jin's imagination, they were three boats with gorgeous decorations.
But seeing these three huge three-story cruise ships in front of her... she was really shocked.
"Does Song Tao have any other guests?" Wen Jin asked.
If she were to be invited alone, there would be no need to prepare three such large cruise ships, right?
Just after visiting the three cruise ships, everyone was too tired to discuss business!
"I haven't heard of it." Fengyuan shook his head. He glanced at the boat and couldn't help but smile, "It's really grand. I'm afraid such a big boat is not from Kyoto. He brought it here from other places.
"look!"
Fengyuan pointed upstream.
Wen Jin looked in the direction of his finger.
I saw a group of small boats with black awnings moored upstream, but they were all decorated with brightly colored silk flowers.
"What is that? Which boat should I get on?" Wen Jinzheng was confused.
I saw a thin young man, surrounded by people, walking down from the huge boat in the middle.
"Brother Feng." The young man nodded.
"This is Mr. Song, the young master of Dadexing."
Fengyuan introduced, "This is Mr. Jin, the master of Yaowang Valley whom you have been asking about for a long time."
Wen Jin looked at Song Tao calmly.
Song Tao is tall and lean, and his skin is very fair. His facial features look like those of a mixed race, with a high nose bridge, slightly deep eye sockets, and very deep eyes.
His eyes were not the dark brown that is common among Han people, but were actually pure cobalt blue.
When Wen Jin looked at him, he also looked at Wen Jin.
"Ahem!" Feng Yuan coughed heavily.
Song Tao politely turned away and said, "Master Jin, please come this way. Because I don't know Master Jin's preferences, I have made many preparations."
"On that boat, there are famous chefs from all over the country gathered. Later they will show their special skills to see which taste Mr. Jin prefers.
"On the painting boat over there, there are beauties singing and dancing in different styles. Each flower is in their eyes. When the flowers are ready, they must be folded."
Song Tao smiled, and as the host, he walked in front and led the way.
Wen Jin took a deep look at Fengyuan... weren't we talking about business?
It’s just a matter of preparing the cook. Since ancient times, Han people like to talk about things at the wine table and dinner table... It’s an old custom.
But to prepare for singing and dancing, a whole boat has been prepared! That's a big three-story ship... Even if it's a honey trap, isn't it too exaggerated?
Fengyuan immediately whispered, "I don't know, he didn't tell me in advance."
Song Tao invited two people to board the big ship in the middle.
Exquisite snacks and refreshments have been set out.
In addition to Song Tao, Wen Jin, and Fengyuan, Song Tao also called several big shopkeepers to accompany his guests.
After a few people sat down, Song Tao looked over and the shopkeeper immediately clapped his hands.
A group of singing and dancing beauties appeared as usual.
The sound of silk and bamboo sounds, the graceful and enchanting dance of the dancer is accompanied by the enchanting music, which is dazzling.
Wen Jin: "..."
She really doesn't like this, thank you!
"I'm here to discuss business with Mr. Song. I don't need these fancy things." Wen Jin said.
Song Tao smiled and looked at her with cobalt blue eyes.
I don't know if it's because his eye sockets are slightly deep or because his eyes are different colors, but the way he looks at people seems particularly focused and deep.
"Master Jin, if you don't like this? Then change it to something else.
"I have prepared many programs for Mr. Jin! Originally, I arranged the appointment in the evening. The painting boat and the cruise ships outside are the most beautiful at night.
"As soon as the lights were turned on, the candlelight reflected in the water, shadowy and beautiful... But Brother Feng said that Mr. Jin was inconvenient at night, so he changed it to daytime.
"Later, the boats upstream will perform a show while rowing by. Mr. Jin will ask whichever one he likes to stop. I will also reward you with more money."
After Song Tao finished speaking, he smiled and took a sip of wine.
"Young Master Song, you are polite," Wen Jin said, "If you are serious about business, there is no need to be like this..."
Feng Yuan grabbed the corner of her clothes and shook his head at her.
"It's rare for us to meet each other, and meeting each other is fate. Let's make friends first!"
Fengyuan stood up and pushed Wen Jin back to his seat.
He whispered in Wen Jin's ear: "He put so much effort into preparation, how about you give me some face?"
"You can prepare, but I don't have to accept it." Wen Jin smiled lightly, with a cold expression.
"Auntie, can't you just watch the show? Talking about business has a lively atmosphere, which makes it easier to talk about business, right? Don't worry about what he has prepared.
"You just have to think clearly about how much benefit you want to fight for, and how to discuss this business is the most beneficial to both parties... If you don't give me any face when you come up, is there any business to discuss?"
Fengyuan finally persuaded Wen Jin to stay.
I don’t know if Song Tao and his boss made a mistake, or did they do it on purpose?
The next singing and dancing beauties became more and more explicit... They were dressed in tulle, and through the tulle, the amorous feelings underneath were vaguely visible.
One by one, the beauties stepped forward to pour and serve the wine in a weak and boneless manner.
Meiji leaned against Wen Jin and brought the wine glass to her mouth.
"I don't drink." Wen Jin pushed her away.
Meiji looked very frightened, "Sir... please, if I don't serve you well... not to mention getting the reward, I'm afraid I'll be beaten, and I'll inevitably suffer physical pain!"
Wen Jin didn't want to make things difficult for Mei Ji who had no right to speak.
But she didn't want to wrong herself.
She took the wine glass and looked at Song Tao.
I saw that the big shopkeepers at Song Tao's side had already had several glasses of wine with the beauties in their arms.
The atmosphere was indeed... very hot.
But Song Tao didn't have Mei Ji by his side.
There was even a look of disgust and disdain on his face.
"Mr. Song, thank you for your hospitality. But I really don't like talking about business like this. If I ruin your interest today, I will have to visit you another day."
Wen Jin stood up and left the table, "You guys are just playing, take your leave first."
Fengyuan was startled, and he pushed Meiji away from his arms.
"Master Jin..."
"Master Jin, stay here." Song Tao waved his hand.
The big shopkeepers didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore and quickly let go of the beauty in their arms.
Within a moment, tranquility returned to the big ship, and the drinks and beauties were all removed.
Song Tao smiled, "So you..."
