Working Emperor of the Northern and Southern Dynasties

Dongfu Tower in Jiangling City was renovated half a year ago, and it has only been open for three months. It is full almost every day, and there are no empty seats.

Jiao Feng, his wife, his wife's uncle and a group of more than ten people slowly walked into the gate of Dongfu Building.

There are scattered tables on the first and second floors, and many people are having drinks. From the sounds of it, they are probably children from rich families.

There was a lot of commotion among those who played guessing games, those who made orders, those who recited poems, and those who wrote poems. The bartenders and tea doctors were interspersed among them, selling their own snacks, drinks, side dishes, and dried fruits.

Under the guidance of the waiter, we went up to the top floor, where there was less noise and became much quieter and more elegant.

Everyone sat in the elegant rooms of Tianzi Room 1 that had been reserved for a long time. The newly installed red pine floor had just been beaten with tung oil, and the stone base lacquered wooden screen was polished to be spotless and shiny.

There is also a large file specially set up in the corner, with all the pens, inks, paper and inkstones on it, which is for people to come here to eat, drink and write poems.

Although Jiao Feng didn't show it on his face, he was secretly happy in his heart. Although he came from a wealthy family, he was rich but not expensive. I heard that the people who booked the Tianzi rooms in Dongfu Building were all high-ranking officials. A merchant like his,

Even if you have a lot of copper coins, the restaurant will not agree to the reservation.

Jiao Feng heard that there were big figures behind the Dongfu Tower, and they didn't care how much money they made, but simply regarded this place as an elegant place for princes, princes, and grandsons to have banquets and communicate.

To put it bluntly, you have money, but it may not be easy to use here.

But the more this happened, the better the business here became, which made Jiao Feng jealous.

Jiao Feng and others arrived at a stick of incense earlier than the agreed time. Although it was a woman, the marriage was considered a high-profile one. The Lou family has deep roots in Jiangling, and they will become in-laws in the future, so they can focus on the Jiao family's business.

Fuzhao.

Therefore, Jiao Feng refused to ask for help and insisted on bringing his family here early to wait for Lou Shubi.

Lou Shubi came here well prepared, but he was caught off guard by a temporary errand assigned by his father. He finally persuaded his second brother and hurried over.

Seeing that Jiao Feng and others had already arrived, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed and was busy apologizing.

Jiao Feng looked behind Lou Shubi, but did not see his daughter or Lou Ming.

Lou Shubi said hurriedly: "Brother Jiao, brother Jiao, they will be here in a moment. Come, come, come, let's take a seat first!"

Jiao Feng laughed and did not blame.

Daughter Jiao Xiaoman has great feelings for Lou Ming. Although Lou Ming is a bit promiscuous, he is still a young man after all. Besides, he is very well-behaved in front of Xiaoman. After getting married, Xiaoman will definitely control him tightly.

.There is no need to worry too much about this.

Not long after, there was a dazzling array of dishes on the table, mountains of fresh fruits and vegetables, Qinzhou spring wine and summer chicken wine overflowing with the fragrant fragrance.

Lou Shubi proposed to start the banquet first. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Lou Shubi coughed lightly: "Brother Jiao, I invite you here today to discuss the marriage between Ming'er and Xiaoman. I wonder if you, the Jiao family, have anything to do with it?"

What conditions?"

Jiao Feng only drank three or four drinks, and he was already familiar with the wine. He quickly waved his hand and said: "Oh, Mr. Lou, you are out of touch when you say this. As long as their children are happy to be together, what else can we parents say?"

What about the conditions?"

Although the Lou family is no longer what it used to be, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. He dare not negotiate any conditions in front of Lou Shubi.

Lou Shubi nodded, and Jiao Feng understood the point, so he raised his glass to toast again, and drank several more cups, but Lou Ming and others were not seen for a long time. Lou Shubi couldn't sit still. Today's discussion is about a small business.

What’s going on when the son is not present at the wedding of his children?

Besides, as his son grew up, Lou Shubi deliberately asked him to attend more formal occasions so that Lou Ming could gain more experience.

Yesterday, I specially told Lou Ming to come over early and wait for my future father-in-law, Mr. Taishan. But this boy followed his wife out early in the morning. When he learned that they were going to the big house to ask for things from the village outside the city, Lou Shubi

I won’t be angry until I get angry.

Taking advantage of the convenient opportunity to leave, Lou Shubi ordered his family to urge his wife and Lou Ming to come quickly.

But after two sticks of incense, the two of them still hadn't arrived, so Lou Shubi couldn't help but feel worried.

The wife is short-sighted and doesn't realize it, and the son is very much like his wife in this regard, unable to distinguish the important from the important.

When Jiao Feng saw that Lou Ming hadn't arrived yet, he didn't say anything, and didn't show it on his face, but he already started to curse in his heart.

This Lou Ming doesn't know etiquette too much, so he left this old man here to hang out.

Lou Shubi hurriedly explained: "Oh, don't be surprised. Today, my niece disappeared. Ming'er and his mother went to my sister-in-law's place to visit. They are all a family. You said, my sister-in-law's body and bones are not good."

It's not good. She might be very sad that something like this happened to her daughter. If Ming'er and the others go, they might be able to make my sister-in-law feel at ease."

Jiao Feng nodded repeatedly: "Ming'er is a pure filial piety, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry..."

Just as they were changing cups and talking, the door was pushed open with a bang from the outside.

Lou Shubi didn't even turn towards the door, he smiled and said to Jiao Feng: "Look, I said they will be here soon!"

But he saw Jiao Feng holding up chopsticks and staring blankly in the direction of the door.

Lou Shubi hurriedly turned to look, and saw his wife, son and future daughter-in-law appearing at the door of the private room. The three of them were gray-haired, the two women had messy temples, Lou Ming had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and there were two plasters on his face.

, the three of them came in with the support of their family members.

Lou Shubi and Jiao Feng stood up in a hurry and said in shock: "This... what on earth is going on?"

Jiao Xiaoman felt extremely wronged and threw herself into her mother's arms with a cry. Mother and daughter held each other's arms and cried.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

When Lou Shubi asked, he found out that after his wife Li, Lou Ming and Jiao Xiaoman left Dafang's mansion, the ox pulling the cart suddenly went crazy for some reason and ran wildly on the street until the car overturned.

All three of them were seriously thrown.

Fortunately, the Jiao family had a Jishengtang drugstore nearby, so they went to the drugstore to bandage it and then hurried over.

Lou Shubi was puzzled. The oxen that pulled the cart were all carefully selected. They were docile and hardworking. Nothing like this had ever happened to them before.

Jiao Feng felt relieved after confirming that his daughter only suffered some superficial injuries and fright.

Lou Shubi is paying compensation again and again.

When Mrs. Jiao saw Lou Ming covering his buttocks, she ordered the waiter to bring him a soft cushion.

The two families made a real fuss before they sat down again.

Lou Shubi ordered his waiters to remove all the dishes they had eaten, and asked them to make fresh dishes and serve them again, and frequently toasted to Jiao Feng to apologize.

After going back and forth, Jiao Feng actually drank too much.

Not only him, but also Lou Ming was unhappy and resorted to drinking to relieve his sorrow. Who knew that the more he drank, the more depressed he became.

When Lou Shubi saw his son looking drunk, he secretly scolded him for being useless.
