The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2012 Banquet
In the private room, Zheng An had already sat down, and there were many people sitting around the table, but Xuan Shijing didn't know these people.

This is a banquet organized by Zheng An. As for who these people are, we will know in a while.But what is certain is that today's banquet is definitely not as simple as eating and drinking. These people came with things, and the things they brought were related to themselves and had needs. to myself.

Xuan Shijing stood at the door, and after just a moment, she understood something in her heart.

When the people in the room saw Xuan Shijing standing at the door, they all stood up one after another, and Zheng An also stood up.

"Grandpa." Zheng An bowed his hands and saluted, then left his seat, walked up to Xuan Shijing, and personally invited Xuan Shijing to take a seat.

"Master Zheng, why are there so many people?" Xuan Shijing asked, "It seems that I have never seen these people before."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zheng An responded again and again: "Grandpa has indeed never seen these people, but these people want to see you, Gongye, but they have no way to get them. I heard that you are in Suzhou City. So I found Xiaguan here, and wanted Xiaguan to recommend it for you. Xiaguan originally didn't want to disturb you, but you see, with so many people, Xiaguan made the decision without authorization. I have been in Suzhou City for such a long time, and I should do my best as landlords for both public and private purposes. Originally, these people should be brought to your father-in-law’s house. However, I feel that if these people are rashly let If you go to visit, I'm afraid it will disturb your cleanliness, my father-in-law, so it's convenient and easy to take advantage of this meal and get together."

Xuan Shijing nodded upon hearing this, and said with a smile, "You have considered everything thoroughly."

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with Zheng An's approach. The news sent by someone was to invite Xuan Shijing to the banquet. As for the dishes and people at the banquet, Xuan Shijing didn't know, but , since it is a banquet, it must not only be Xuan Shijing and Zheng An, but it is normal for other people to be present.

Xuan Shijing didn't pick Zheng An on this point.

"Thank you for your praise, my lord, please take a seat." Zheng An asked Xuan Shijing to sit on the main seat.

Today's banquet was clearly aimed at him, so Xuan Shijing didn't refuse, and sat on the main seat, while Zheng An sat beside Xuan Shijing, and Gao Jun stood on Xuan Shijing's side. Behind him, holding his weapon, his face was expressionless and he didn't say a word.

"Since Duke Xuan has arrived, let's have a banquet." Zheng An said.

This banquet was organized by Zheng An, so of course he has to speak and continue. Xuan Shijing just needs to sit there. Whatever Zheng An says, just follow him. Xuan Shijing wants to see, this gang People say they want to find themselves, but what is the matter with finding themselves?

"Come on, let's raise our glasses and respect Duke Xuan first."

During the banquet, everyone raised their wine glasses one after another, and Xuan Shijing also raised his wine glass to signal to everyone.

After drinking a glass of wine, it was time for Xuan Shijing to speak.

"No need to be cautious, everyone should eat and drink." Xuan Shijing said.

After finishing speaking, Xuan Shijing first picked up the chopsticks and ate the dishes on the table.

If Xuan Shijing didn't move his chopsticks, no one in this circle would move his chopsticks.

After Xuan Shijing understood the chopsticks and ate two or three dishes, the atmosphere of the banquet was officially opened.

"Zheng An, I don't know much about these people, why don't you introduce me?" Xuan Shijing put down his chopsticks and asked.

"Yes." Zheng An responded, "Grandpa, this is Shopkeeper Fang who is in the silk business in Yangzhou."

When Zheng An introduced someone, the person who was introduced would stand up and bow to Xuan Shijing.

"This is shopkeeper Liu from Jiangsu who is in the porcelain business." Zheng An pointed to another shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Liu also stood up and saluted Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing nodded slightly in return.

"Who is this"

Following Zheng An's introduction, Xuan Shijing also knew that these are people who do business in various states of the Tang Dynasty, or people who do big business. Some of these people may have business contacts with the Xuan family, but Xuan Shijing didn't even know, because he didn't care about business matters at all.

But why did Zheng An let him meet so many businessmen?

"Now, everyone's introductions are over, and I'm also curious. Why do you want to see me?" Xuan Shijing asked directly.

"This" said something serious, and the people at the table began to look at each other.

"Since Duke Xuan asked, you just tell the truth, otherwise what are you doing here today?" Zheng An said: "If you don't say it, how can Duke Xuan decide for you?"

oh?Hearing Zheng An's words, what happened to them, did they come to let themselves decide?
However, if something happens, the most important thing to look for is the local government, right?People from all over the world gathered in this city of Suzhou, and they all came to look for me. Why?

For a moment, Xuan Shijing seemed to understand something in his heart.

Instead of looking for the local government, but instead gathered from all over the city to look for me in Suzhou City, what else could be the reason?
It's about the bank!
After all, he was investigating the matter of the bank now, probably because he knew what he was doing in Luoyang and Dengzhou, and knew that it was right to find him about the matter of the bank, so he came to Suzhou City.

When everyone heard Zheng An's words, they put down their wine glasses and chopsticks one after another, got up, and fell to their knees on the ground.

"Everyone, what are you doing? Get up first, get up and talk." Xuan Shijing also stood up from his seat, trying to help the person kneeling in front of him.

"Please Xuangong be the master for us." said the man kneeling on the ground.

"Yes, please ask Xuangong to be the master for us." Everyone said one after another.

"No matter what's the matter, get up first and then talk. Everyone sit down and talk while sitting down. I will listen to you." Xuan Shijing said.

"Everyone, get up first. If you are like this, the father-in-law is not easy to do." Zheng An also chimed in.

"Gao Jun, quickly help everyone up." Xuan Shijing said.

Gao Jun stepped forward to help the person, and the person kneeling on the ground got up and returned to his seat.

"Tell me, what's the matter? Tell me one by one." Xuan Shijing said.

"Caomin heard that Xuangong was investigating the affairs of the bank. The Caomin wanted to report the dirty things about our local bank, so they traveled thousands of miles to come to Suzhou City. As for the local government, they have long been with them. The local nobles and nobles are colluding and wearing a pair of trousers, Cao Min and the others have complaints and can’t speak, there is no way to go to the sky, and there is no way to go to the earth.” Shopkeeper Liu said.
