Chapter 286: Catch Zhou at the Hundred Days Banquet
The banquet was full of guests and very lively.
"Come on!!"
"drink!!"
"Let's drink!!!"
"Hiss! This wine is so good!"
“Great wine!!”
"Why do these dishes taste so familiar?"
"The taste of these dishes is truly outstanding. They are exactly the same as those made by the chefs at Zuixianlou and Jixianlou!"
"It's true!!"
"I heard that the chefs from Zuixian Tower and Jixian Tower were specially invited to cook this."
"No wonder it tastes exactly like the ones made by the chefs at Zuixianlou and Jixianlou."
"But it's not cheap to invite these chefs, isn't it?"
"Ye Xuan's father-in-law is Shen Wansan, the richest man in Jiangnan. To Ye Xuan, this is just a drop in the bucket. The wine alone is also very extraordinary. It is a fine wine, so it is certainly not cheap.
"I'm afraid after eating this time, I don't know if I can have such good food next time."
"Well, with our salary, we can barely have enough food and clothing."
The wine is in full swing.
The Ye Mansion was very lively.
Ye Xuan sat above, looking down at the officials below, thoughtfully.
He had just traveled through time, and he was just an ordinary fifth-rank official.
Although he is only 17 now, he is only a junior official of the fourth rank.
But things are not what they used to be.
He has gained the attention of the emperor, and even the princes, prime ministers, and princes have to be in awe of him. And now he is still the teacher of the emperor's grandchildren, and the emperor's grandchildren are also in awe of him.
Now, the Ye family is considered a powerful family in the capital.
When the big shots in the capital met him, they would politely call him "Ye Tianping" for Erzhou.
Even if he is only a fourth-grade official.
But with the emperor's favor.
You can also act like a fox or a tiger.
This is the benefit of power.
Shen Wansan and Shen Jin sat next to Ye Xuan.
Shen Wansan was dressed in luxurious silk, broad and fat, with a kind face. There was a cunning businessman in his eyes.
He is currently helping Ye Xuan to entertain these visitors.
Relying on the good manners he had honed in shopping malls, Shen Wansan entertained these guests in every possible way.
This saves Ye Xuan the trouble of entertaining guests.
Much more relaxed.
Shen Wansan entertained these visitors.
This group of visitors are all officials in the officialdom.
Shen Wansan could feel the contempt these officials had for him as a businessman.
However, because he is Ye Xuan's father-in-law.
So this group of people behaved very flatteringly.
"Mr. Shen turned out to be the richest man in Jiangnan."
"It's really admirable."
"It's amazing that the business can grow so big."
"I heard that Mr. Shen is also involved in the maritime trade?"
"Navigation trade is very popular."
"If you need help, just ask and we will definitely help you."
...
Shen Wansan smiled and said, "Thank you all, sir."
He said this on the surface, but in his heart he thought that if he encountered a problem, he would definitely go to his son-in-law. After all, the son-in-law was one of his own. If he asked for help from others, who knows what the other party's intentions were, and whether they would trick him.
After many years of fighting in the mall, he knows that people's hearts are hard to guard against.
As for what this group of people said, except for those who flattered him, he regarded them all as bullshit.
This group of people did not hide their disgust and disgust towards the businessmen very deeply.
Shen Wansan could see through it at a glance.
He could guess what the other person was thinking about him in his heart.
Probably because he felt that he was lucky enough to marry his daughter to Ye Xuan and become Ye Xuan's father-in-law.
Shen Wansan saw through it without telling the truth.
Shen Wansan's son Shen Jin also helped Ye Xuan socialize.
A crowd of officials surrounded him.
Flattering Shen Jin.
"Mr. Shen Jin is indeed a talented person, but I don't know if he is married or not? I have a younger sister who is expected to be my best friend."
"Mr. Shen Jin, I have a daughter..."
This group of people rushed to give Shen Jin a woman.
He also kept flattering Shen Jin.
This group of people all want to use Shen Jin as a breakthrough to establish a relationship with Ye Xuan.
In this way, they can also rise with the rising tide.
Shen Jin was so flattered by this group of people.
At the same time, I was very excited.
He was originally a prodigal who regarded women as clothes, but now that these people were rushing to give him women, he had no reason not to accept them.
Just when Shen Jin was about to nod and accept [Fangzhu Shen came over.
"Jin'er is already married."
"There are also many concubines."
"Some time ago, this boy even took in several concubines."
"This boy is very carefree."
"So I'll let him settle for now."
"There is no need to take in wives and concubines for the time being."
The group of officials immediately dispersed when they heard that Shen Jin was so carefree.
They are right to want to have a relationship with Ye Xuan.
But Shen Jin is really bad.
And they are all respectable people.
If such a person became their in-laws, it would be really troublesome. They might as well go directly to Ye Xuan to get married.
Plus Shen Jin is just a businessman.
If they want to marry a daughter or a sister, they must become Shen Jin's head wife.
Being a concubine?
That's an insult to their daughters, their sisters, and themselves.
Of course they refused.
ite:......
Why did they all run away?
Shen Wansan reminded in an annoyed voice:
"Don't mess around!"
"Although our Shen family now has a son-in-law to help you, if you want to commit suicide and act recklessly, my father will not be able to help you!"
After being scolded by Shen Wansan, Shen Jin sobered up a bit.
He immediately understood the intentions of those people.
Those people were just trying to curry favor with Ye Xuan through him.
"Yes, Fourth Son understands."
Seeing that he was awake, Shen Wansan reminded him a few more words to calm down and stop messing around, and then went to entertain the guests.
Shen Jin looked at the officials who kept flattering Shen Wansan and Ye Xuan, and felt extremely emotional in his heart.
That year, my sister married Ye Xuan.
He still had resentment in his heart.
Think Ye Xuan is not worthy.
However, the status of merchants was low.
Even if the Shen family has tens of millions of wealth, it is still not as good as a small seventh-rank sesame official. But now Ye Xuan is favored by the emperor, which is extraordinary.
Even the emperor's eldest grandson, the prince and the important officials of the court wanted to give Ye Xuan face.
It's the Shen family that isn't worthy of Ye Xuan.
Then, the week begins.
There was a large plush red carpet spread on the open space, and Ye Xuan's son Ye Rong was sitting on it.
This milk dumpling is surrounded by paper, ink, pens and inkstones, gold ingots, abacus, food boxes, general helmets, cooking utensils, books and other items.
A group of people gathered around the milk dumpling, watching as the milk dumpling caught Zhou Zhou.
"Son, come and grab something you like."
Ye Xuan shouted to the milk dumpling.
Naituanzi raised his head in confusion, his eyes clear and confused.
"Grandson, grab the book, or grab the general's helmet!"
Shen Wansan also shouted.
People around were talking in low voices.
"What do you think Young Master Ye will catch?"
"Maybe it's books. After all, Mr. Ye took the imperial examination career.
"The Shen family is a family of businessmen. I think it may be a calculation."
They were all very curious about what Ye Rong, the naughty dumpling, would catch.
Then, this milk dumpling grabbed a gold ingot and tried to put it in its mouth.
Ye Xuan quickly stopped Nai Tuanzi's movements.
This is not fun to eat.
Ye Xuan looked at the gold ingot in Naituanzi's hand and felt happy.
This child will be destined to be rich and noble in the future.
