Sun Houpu is not good at anything else, but his execution efficiency is extremely high. This is probably an excellent habit cultivated through many years of business.
Efficiency is the most important thing in the market. If you miss the timeliness of products, you will lose huge profits. If you don't like it, you will fall behind others and you won't even be able to eat.
In one night, Sun Houpu mobilized the Sun family's servants and everyone in the Forbidden City to go to the market in Bianjing City to buy various fruit gifts for the wedding banquet.
Sun Houpu has made money all his life, but he has never been extravagant for himself. This time, he will spend all the money he has not spent in this life to his fullest!
Bianjing City gathers goods from all over the world. It is more convenient to buy anything than Qingyuan Port! Sun Houpu didn't know what the Xia family needed, but he thought that the Xia family would never be short of anything. The people who usually gave gifts almost broke through the back door of the Xia Mansion, and mountains of gold and silver seemed to be piled up. Missing items! .
Even so, Sun Houpu had to follow the etiquette. In addition to the expensive betrothal gifts listed in Liang Chuan's draft engagement letter at that time, he also prepared sufficient scented tea, fruit plates, three animals, fine wine, chickens and geese, plus hundreds of pieces of fine silk. Materials, the bright materials are not betrothal gifts for the Xia family, but gifts for the servants of the Xia family. On the big day, everyone pulls a few feet of cloth to make a beautiful new dress, and everyone is happy together!
High-spirited Sun Houpu!
Sun Houpu's mouth was crooked all day long, and he never closed his smile at all!
Sun Houpu was not a nouveau riche, but his style was even better than that of a nouveau riche. All day long, all the wedding items in Bianjing City were dragged to the Xia Mansion, and the betrothal gifts were piled up in a large yard.
Many gift-givers thought that this gift-giving method was a bit blatant. They stuffed treasures into Xia Song's yard in broad daylight as if they were moving house. Should Xia Song be happy or unhappy? Later, these people who used the back door discovered something was wrong. It turned out that the Xia Mansion was preparing to hold a happy event!
Damn it, this news is too late. It fills up the whole yard before other people see it, and they don’t even get the slightest hint of it!
Happy events of a wealthy family are always a good opportunity for everyone to congratulate each other (receive gifts), and it is also an important moment to test the ability of the cadres below to do things (pay bribes). I usually don’t pay attention to the leader’s personal life, family dynamics, how much attention is paid to the leader, from sending gifts to The gift can be seen at a glance!
If you fall behind, you will fall behind every step!
Those who arrive early can give any gift they want, but those who arrive late can’t take second place, so they have to bite the bullet and give something more practical! Otherwise, the faces of those servants would be so ugly!
Especially when singing a hit, the servant of the emcee sang particularly hard! It's his fault if all the guests can't hear clearly! The first one was about singing about the Song family, the head of a certain department, who gave away twenty-eight pairs of pure gold pigs! Then the next song was about a certain pavilion waiting to thank you for giving me ten kilograms of abalone. How can I get it? The difference in comparison will make gift giving embarrassing!
These guests completely underestimated the financial resources of Sun Houpu, who was marrying the daughter of the Xia family this time! Not counting the tens of thousands of yuan in betrothal gifts in the engagement letter, there are also nearly ten sets of twelve zodiac signs made by excellent goldsmiths and silversmiths! There are nearly a hundred kilograms of gold! The fabrics include eighty-eight pieces of silk yarn from Huzhou, eighty-eight pieces of feather yarn from Huai'an, nearly a thousand pieces of Hunan embroidery, Cantonese embroidery, cloud brocade and Sichuan satin, countless red gold bracelets with dragon and phoenix, and red gold hairpins with dragon and phoenix inlaid with beads!
Preserved with ice, a series of top-quality seafood such as abalone, oysters, clams, prawns, squid, sea cucumbers, shark's fins and fish maws are shipped from Jingdong Road. There are also fresh matsutake, hazelnuts and fungus picked from Daliang Mountain. There are various game meats including frozen hooves! As for other types of fish, wine, four seasons tea, candies and other items, there are countless others!
The guests stretched their necks at the door, then stuffed the gifts back at the door in a daze, and hurried back to the house to buy new gifts. There was nothing they could do. Comparing people with others is irritating, so you have to compare goods. Throw! They underestimated the ability of this person to marry a relative, and in comparison, their gifts were completely useless!
The person who gave the gift didn’t know Sun Houpu’s true identity! But looking at this pomp and circumstance, it’s even more grand than an official’s daughter marrying. Even an ordinary marquis’ family can’t afford such a large betrothal gift!
The servants of the Xia Mansion originally heard that the marriage between Song Qi and Zhao Gai's family and their girl was not successful, and then heard about the uproar in the Bianjing matchmaker circle, and thought that their girl might be in Bianjing for the rest of her life. There was no good family to be found in Beijing, and many people felt sorry for Xia Xue.
The people in the house are with Xia Xueyuan all day long. They know best what kind of outspoken and kind-hearted girl Xia Xue is. Although they are dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do about it!
This time it was better. I don’t know how many eyeballs this seemingly over-the-top pomp stung! I once thought that the entire Bianjing would shun the news of the Xia family coming to propose marriage. But now, in contrast, someone actually married Xia Xue in such a luxurious way. Wasn't it because they were born in Bianjing that they looked down on Xia Xue at first? A snowman’s face?
Many people were waiting to see Xia Mansion's joke, but now this resentment has burst out, and everyone in Xia Mansion is proud of Yun Shu Yuji!
The large rosewood carved lacquer boxes in the Xia Mansion's own inventory couldn't hold so much gold and silver jewelry, so they went to Shunfeng Escort Bureau to order dozens of large boxes! The door of Xia Mansion was open, and the singing stars were counted one by one in front of outsiders, and then packed into boxes and carried into the warehouse!
Every time the Sun family's servants entered the Xia Mansion and saw the servants of the Xia Mansion, they would give another reward. Each time, they would carry an extra bamboo basket with a basket full of copper coins. The servants who came to help did not need to Say, just take the money and leave happily!
With just one move, the future uncle won the favor of everyone in the Xia Mansion!
Then, Sun Houpu laid red silk carpets from the Forbidden City to the Xia Mansion, hung up the entire Bianhe Street with colorful silks, and hired all the flower boats on the Bianhe River, decorated with red and green lanterns!
A few guys were also responsible for handing out wedding money at the Bianhe River. Each person only had a few pennies, which almost paralyzed the traffic on Bianhe Street for an hour. People in the city heard about the wedding money and came to fight for it. How many pennies!
The adults may look down on this small amount of money, but the children are very active. With a smile on their face and a few words of auspicious congratulations, they can take the money to buy some snacks. Not happy!
This move has won the hearts of many people and gained many blessings!
The marriage in the Xia Mansion caused quite a stir in Bianjing City. This lavish ceremony can be called the most luxurious since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Who is Xia Song? People in the world usually know that he is greedy for money. He does not cherish his reputation so much that he ruined this lavish ceremony. No one is surprised that it is so big.
But when the red silk blanket was rolled out to the Forbidden City, everyone was confused. Could it be that the banquet was going to be held in the Forbidden City? That would be a bit troublesome for Kong Fang. Not to mention banquets, even an ordinary banquet in the Forbidden City costs a lot of gold and silver. It is said that the prince goes in and the eunuch goes out!
After asking around, I found out that this was not the case!
Because those betrothal gifts were picked out from the Forbidden City in boxes and loads, and then transported into the Xia Mansion, everyone came to their senses. Could it be that the young master of the Sun family in the Forbidden City wanted to marry Xia Xue!
This detonated the whole Bianjing, not the whole Song Dynasty!
Xia Song, the daughter of a dignified deputy prime minister, was actually willing to marry his daughter to a nouveau riche!
It is undeniable that the Forbidden City triggered a fashion trend throughout the Song Dynasty as soon as it opened. Everyone was proud to go to the Forbidden City to eat hot pot, smoke cigarettes and watch movies. What famous drama has the Eight Beauties of the Forbidden City lined up today? If there is no No. If you don’t go to see one, you won’t be considered a true fan! The Forbidden City is also making a lot of money with these tricks that are absolutely not found in other places, making a lot of money!
But no matter how much money you have, what can't be changed is Sun Houpu's humble status!
Many people have inquired. Sun Houpu and Liang Chuan are just ordinary people from the south. In the twenty-eight generations of their ancestors, there has not been a decent figure, let alone fame. One of them only became successful when he fell in love with Ding Wei!
No one with a decent status like them in Bianjing City would even look at Sun Houpu!
Xia Song actually married his daughter to such a young man! What is the picture? Did Xia Song have a reputation? Could it be money? Tsk, tsk, Xia Song soon gained a reputation as a money-grubbing prostitute!
But after all, Sun Houpu's wealth has irritated many people. Many people are talking about Xia Song's greed for money, while their eyes are red. Those real money is really domineering. If he has more daughters, he can spread it. It seems not bad to marry such a good son-in-law. .
Xia Xue is also an ordinary person. She is also very tempted when she sees gold, silver and jewelry. When she saw the pile of betrothal gifts, her heart fluttered for a while. Just the gold beads and jewelry among them made her squat in front of the warehouse. After half an hour, the large black rosewood dows box and cage left behind by the last relative finally came into use and were filled to the brim.
She had known that a woman like herself who had not practiced feminine virtues since she was a child was an anomaly in Bianjing City. Uncle Qiu had been scolding her since she was a child. If she didn't become a good girl, life would be very difficult in the future. She didn't expect that the old man's words came true. Prophecy, after arriving in Bianjing, she was first targeted by several interested families. After the marriage fell through, no one dared to come to propose marriage. With such a good appearance and such a good family background, he has become a person that everyone is afraid of!
That is to say, Sun Houpu had been fooling around with Liang Chuan for too long. He was fooled by Liang Chuan to the point where he even abandoned his biological father and left the Sun family. Then, the more rebellious the girl, the more he liked her. When he saw Xia A girl like Xue, who has a good family background and doesn't follow the ordinary path, just looked at Mung Bean, and she was right!
It’s hard to buy the love of your heart!
