Before they even reached the small island in the middle of the lake, Yue Jiushao had already hurried over to greet them. "Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu. Come, come this way."
He was dressed in a red brocade robe, with a golden belt that shone brightly in the sun, and a emerald green hairpin on his head, one end of which was inlaid with a ruby.
A whole outfit that is very sexy.
Every time Su Qi saw Yue Jiushao, she was always struck by his flamboyant red. Of all the people, he was the first one she saw, flying around like a peacock with its tail spread out.
Gu Beiheng clasped his fists and returned the greeting to Yue Jiushao.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries as they walked, and Yue Jiushao briefly introduced who were there today.
Came to the private room on the second floor.
The private room is very large.
There are tables and chairs in the huge place, and the antique shelves inside are filled with various antiques.
There was a large open space where a guzheng (Chinese zither) was played, and a young girl of about 28 was dancing beside her.
Su Qi didn't let Bai Zhi bring Dabao and Erbao in, and told Bai Zhi and Zeng Wuming to take Dabao and Erbao to sit in the pavilion in the middle of the island.
There will be people there to entertain children like Dabao and Erbao.
With Bai Zhi and Zeng Wuming by her side, Su Qi was not worried about the safety of Dabao and Erbao.
Yue Jiushao specifically asked people to pay attention to Dabao and Erbao.
Don't let anyone bully you.
Sitting at the top of the private room on the second floor was a man in a lake blue brocade robe, about thirty years old. Next to him sat a man in an indigo brocade robe.
The two were talking quietly.
In addition to these two sitting at the top, there were five or six other young men sitting at the bottom.
Xie Yi also took a seat among them.
Yue Jiushao laughed heartily towards the room, "Young Master Zhang, Master Yuan, let me introduce my friends to you two."
Young Master Zhang leaned on the armrest of the chair, his eyelids slightly raised.
His expression relaxed, and he pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down and talk. Don't be shy, we're on the same page. Jiu Shao and I have been friends for many years."
"Jiu Shao, can you introduce your friend?"
Yue Jiushao first introduced Yue Qinggang.
Later, when Gu Beiheng and Su Qi were introduced, they didn't mention that he was once a great general in the Northwest. They were just merchants from Yun County, and they had a good impression of collaborating on business.
When Young Master Zhang heard this, he knew it was more than that.
Merchants in the countryside wouldn’t need such a grand introduction.
Looking at Su Qi and Gu Beiheng, it was obvious that they came from wealthy families.
That calm confidence and noble temperament are different.
Gu Beiheng clasped his fists and saluted. Young Master Zhang's eyes were always on Gu Beiheng intentionally or unintentionally.
"This Mr. Gu made me feel like I've known him for a long time. I always felt like we were old friends."
"Then consider it a long-awaited reunion."
Young Master Zhang laughed and ordered someone to serve some wine.
It is said that the merchants from Dongqi got the fine wine from the outer sea and poured it into the glass cup.
It is amber in color and looks very nice.
The amount of nectar is very small.
Each person was given only a small cup, and everyone cherished the wine in the cup.
Su Qi took the cup in her hand and shook it gently. Then she put it to her nose and smelled the scent.
Gu Beiheng knew that this was called wine.
The two of them would occasionally drink a little, accompanied by the steak fried by Su Qi.
Have a romantic date.
When others saw the wine, they would be amazed and ask about its origins.
Praise it to the skies again.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng were not surprised.
Seems like common
The man in a white brocade robe opposite had been watching the actions of Gu Beiheng and the other man, sneering in his heart.
How could two people from Yunxian County not be surprised?
"Mr. Gu, Madam Gu. Have you ever drunk the nectar?" The man in the moon-white brocade robe was named Jiang, and his father was the magistrate of Jinyang Prefecture.
He is an old friend of the Zhang family. To put it bluntly, his father is Zhang Shuishan's lackey.
Su Qi knew that this person looked down on them.
She took a sip of the wine and held it in her mouth, savoring the taste before swallowing it.
"Nectar wine has a nice name, but another common name is wine. Since this wine is made from grapes, it's not an exaggeration to say that I can also make this wine."
Su Qi took another sip of the wine in the glass.
Young Master Jiang pointed at Su Qi and laughed so hard that he almost died.
"Mrs. Gu, you're exaggerating a bit too much. You're just exaggerating."
Yue Jiushao put his fist to his nose and coughed deliberately, saying, "Mrs. Gu loves to joke around. Young Master Jiang will understand how lovable Mrs. Gu is from now on."
"Isn't it just making wine? Ask Bei Heng if he has ever tasted this nectar wine and how it tastes compared to this one."
Yue Jiushao looked at Su Qi again and it didn't look like he was joking.
Gu Beiheng nodded, "The nectar that Qiqi gave me tastes better than this."
Yue Jiushao knew Gu Beiheng.
Never tell a lie.
He really wanted to drag Gu Beiheng out for a fight.
He didn't even know about such a big thing.
He looked at Yue Qinggang and saw that he also had a confused look on his face.
Young Master Jiang glanced at Su Qi with disdain. "Does Yun County have grapes? Only Yunwu Villa in Dongqi Country has grapes. You are just country folk from Yun County."
"So what if I'm a country boy? I can still grow grapes." Su Qi raised his eyelids and snorted coldly.
Young Master Zhang seemed to be in the mood.
Where does this couple get the confidence from?
"I have so many things planted in my greenhouse. I originally brought some grapes for Master Jiu, but I didn't have time to give them to him in the house." Su Qi remembered that she had taken a bunch of grapes from the fruit bowl in the room and had not had time to eat them.
"Young Master Jiu can send someone to our yard to get it."
Yue Jiushao was a little hesitant.
Is what Su Qi said true or false? Why does it sound so true?
He hesitated for a moment and asked Gu Beiheng, "Do you really want to send someone to get it?"
Young Master Jiang spoke first, "Of course we have to send someone to get them. There are no grapes this season, so let Young Master Zhang try some too."
Young Master Zhang glanced around the room and saw no fruit. Where would he get any fruit this winter?
"Young Master Jiu. Send someone."
Yue Jiushao was also surprised by Su Qi and his wife's tendency to cause trouble, so he had no choice but to clasp his fists and agree. He went to the door and asked his men to rush back to Su Qi's yard and bring back some grapes.
Young Master Jiang still spoke in a sarcastic tone.
He had already known the kind of people this couple was like from Young Master Zhang and Young Master Liu.
They actually dared to deal with Master Liu and made him suffer a loss. He didn't believe that they were from the Southern Li Kingdom, or Master Liu was looking for the wrong person for revenge.
In that case, he has to take action.
A few people listened to the guzheng, watched the dance, and talked about business matters.
Young Master Zhang shook his wine glass, looked at Young Master Yue Jiu and said, "Young Master Jiu, I need your help with the food this year. You know that our Dashun Kingdom is short of food right now."
Now that there is war, everyone knows that food and herbs are the most profitable.
"Young Master Zhang, that's easy to say. But the price of grain this year is different from the past. It's 10% higher than before."
"Is the price of grain so high?" Master Yuan frowned and said, "You should know that our quantity is not small."
Master Yuan glanced at Gu Beiheng and smiled. "Master Gu, how are the grain prices in Yun County?"
"Thanks to the previous county magistrate, the price of grain has stabilized. I won't have to talk about it much in the future." Gu Beiheng did not say that he opened a grain shop.
Not to mention that he stabilized food prices.
Master Yuan nodded, "The current county magistrate is Wang Fenghe. Stabilizing grain prices is important, but we also have to adapt to market demand."
