Compete for the Song Dynasty

When Wang Pang entered the palace to talk with Renzong, Wang Anshi and Master Bao Zheng were fighting in the Kaifeng mansion, their faces were red.At this time, it is nothing else, but who will host the marriage next to the king.

Lord Bao and Wang Anshi are also worrying about Wang Pang's wedding, and they are vying to host it, but they can't do it no matter what.This kid has made many friends in both officialdom and shopping malls.There is no way to arrange this marriage in any mansion. Kaifeng mansion is a big place, but only the inner house in the south is Mr. Bao's private residence.If it's in the Meyer Mansion, it's a bit difficult.

It’s unreasonable not to hold a banquet, but the layout of the banquet can be roughly forty or fifty tables, Wang Pang suggested to hold a separate banquet, Master Bao said that the groom can’t ride back and forth on horseback to toast.

Bao Zheng proposed to do two batches on separate days, but Wang Anshi said that it is impossible to salute twice.

The two were arguing, and a yamen servant came and reported: "The right general has been summoned by the emperor." [

Hearing what he said, Bao Zheng, who was writing something on the straw paper with a pen on the desk, put down his pen.He and Wang Anshi looked at each other, and the person waiting for the report left the room. Bao Zheng said, "I said Jiefu, you also heard about the burning of the boat next to Wang."

Wang Anshi sighed, and said with a nasty face: "Look, my lord, I really hope that Wang Pang is your parent and son. This child's ideas are not generally righteous."

Master Bao said: "I'd better tell this kid to keep a low profile, and he will always do unexpected things for you."

Wang Anshi smiled slightly: "Forget it, everything depends on fate. I will resign if he gets too troubled. According to the current court law, the court will not be too involved. It's just that my only worry is that it will affect Yuanze in the future."

Bao Zheng asked: "Yuanze is going to take the autumn exam this year, it would be nice if I take the exam with him."

Wang Anshi shook his head: "You still don't know that child, one is that he doesn't like to study, and the other is that he doesn't like to be an official, and he is crazy all day long. This is a big problem right now, and the father-in-law doesn't know what the result will be when he enters the palace."

Bao Zheng waved to Wang Anshi: "Come on, you and I can drink tea and wait quietly. I'm afraid it's useless to be anxious. Besides, I see you and I discuss for a long time about his marriage. In the end, he will make up his own mind. Your dear father and I This adoptive father has no idea about him."

Wang Anshi said nothing, Mr. Bao was right, even so, both of them were still sweating for Wang Pang.Waiting left and right until noon, the king still didn't come back.

Lord Bao couldn't sit still, could it be that he had a verbal disagreement with the father-in-law in the palace, or was punished by the emperor.He stood up and wanted to go to the palace to see what happened, but someone reported that the emperor stayed with the king to eat with the right general in the palace.When Bao Zheng and Wang Anshi heard the news, they hissed for a long time.

The news from their side is fast, and Yuexia and others at Mayer's mansion are even more anxious.

Wang Pang was busy, he ate the royal meal with the emperor, and then went to Kaifeng mansion to report to see the two elders.Sure enough, as they expected, Wang Pang spoke surprisingly again.

"I plan to handle this myself."

Master Bao cast a glance at him: "You are so capable, your father and I don't have to worry about it, we just pay the money, we don't care if you screw up."

Wang Pang chuckled: "It's for the children to do it by themselves to start a family. The two elders are already a lot of trouble for me, so let the children do it by themselves."

Hearing what he said, Wang Anshi and Mr. Bao didn't say much, they just made plans, if he messed up and messed up, it would be a big deal for the family to hold a feast for his colleagues.

After returning from Kaifeng, Wang Pang went back to Meyer's Mansion first, and when everyone told him it was safe, he took Xiao Lu He Libo to collect the bank note Jiaozi.Even the silver bills were so full that little Lu Le couldn't close his mouth.I have never seen so much money in my life.

Go back to the king of Meyer's mansion and ask Xiao Lu to return all the money to the account.On the other hand, Xiao Lu was crackling with the abacus, checking the accounts and writing the account books.Finally, he stared at the abacus in a daze.

The banquet that Wang Pang had planned in his mind was almost done in his head. When he turned around and saw Xiao Lu staring blankly, he asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Lu pointed to the abacus, and then pointed to the banknotes that were left after deducting the cost and expenses: "But all, all, are all right." [

Then why are you in a daze, Wang Pang came over to have a look in confusion, to be honest, the numbers made his heart beat.The money was obviously given to him by Jianzhou.If it weren't for Cai Xiang's guarantee, I would never have imagined such a large number of costs and so many profits.

Originally, Wang Pang didn’t think that tea would be so expensive. When he was alive, even if he was rich, he would only drink tea worth a hundred or so yuan. The tea in the inner courtyard is nothing.But during the trip to Jianzhou, I discovered that drinking tea was a luxury for people in the Song Dynasty, but it made Wang Pang look exaggerated. What was originally a simple and fragrant thing was complicated.

As a result, the whole trip to Jianzhou made a gross profit of about 7000 taels of silver.No wonder Renzong said at the time that he was not offering rewards, and the single business that he handed over to Wang Pang was enough for him to go to Xixia.

Xiao Lu can be speechless in surprise, he has never seen so much money in his life, this year's net income from palace tea is basically equivalent to Master Bao's annual income.But Wang Pang knew that this was just gross profit. Now it is a big house, so many people eat horses, and a tea factory needs to be added, and he is going to buy a tea base in Jianzhou.Basically, there is nothing left in the first year or two.

He patted Xiao Lu and said, "It's nothing, Xiao Lu stared at him, how did he know that the young man in front of him has the appearance of seventeen or eighteen years old, and the mind of more than 30 years old; Past life experience.

At this time, there was another person in the room, who had been sitting there without saying a word.That person was Yuexia, Wang Bang saw Yuexia sitting opposite Xiaolu, he didn't look at Xiaolu to settle accounts, but just looked outside.With the door open, the night is extraordinarily bright, it seems that these money matters have nothing to do with her.

Knowing that Xiao Lu called him: "Boss lady, boss lady?"

Yuexia didn't understand at first, but after hearing two or three calls that didn't sound like calling someone else, she came back to her senses.Xiao Lu has placed the bank notes and other things in front of her.

Yuexia took it over and frowned: "Your young master must have asked you to call me that, it sounds weird."

Wang Pang smiled: "In the future, you will have to worry more."

Seeing the two talking, Lu Shenyan got up and left.Before leaving, Wang Pang wrote a payment note in a decent manner, and Wang Pang stamped the seal, and paid the money from Yuexia, which was used for the decoration of Wang Pang's house before the wedding.He took the money and went back to give it to the rouge tiger.

Seeing Lu Shenyan leave, Yuexia put Yin Liangjiaozi in the box in the dark cabinet of the room and locked it, and handed the key to the king.Wang Pang said: "Just put it away." That's what he said, but this ancient lock Wang Pang had seen it a long time ago, and it was basically useless.

Yuexia asked: "I don't know that you are busy with getting married, I'm afraid you have to travel far again."

Wang Pang said: "It's not urgent. I still have some things to do. Now that the waterway is convenient, it only takes a day or two to go back and forth to Jincheng. I don't need to go to Jianzhou for the time being this year. I can only finish the things I need to do in the capital." , go to Xixia in autumn, the time is just right."

After hearing this, Yuexia didn't ask any more questions, but he was rather curious. Now that the wedding date was set, why didn't the king start to arrange the banquet.

Wang Pang had his own plans. On the second day, he asked Shang Xiaolu to go around the capital. He wanted to find a hotel that could hold banquets.The ancients held banquets by setting tables in the mansion, which was very troublesome. The king is going to make a change.

After walking around Erren Street, Wang Pang was still not very satisfied, or the store was too small, or the decoration was too vulgar.After walking for two streets, I came to the gate of Renhe Building.I haven't been here for more than half a year, and this notice was posted at the entrance of Renhe Building, saying that the shopkeeper wants to sell this restaurant.

Wang Pang didn't know what happened, he had always had feelings for this Renhe Building, and this was the first time he saw Yuexia.Looking inside, the shopkeeper and the waiter are both dozing off.There is no one in the hotel.Wang Pang stood at the door and coughed, Xiaoer first opened his eyes and saw Wang Pang.He came up to meet him, rubbed his eyes and asked, "The young master is here to find the shopkeeper."

Manager Cui of Renhe Building also woke up, he had known Wang Pang for a long time, and hurriedly greeted him. "My lord, you haven't come for a while."

Wang Pang cupped his hands and said: "Master Cui, I just returned to the capital after going out, I don't know why this Renhe building has to be quit?"

The shopkeeper asked Wang to sit down, ordered Xiao Er to serve tea and said, "Young master, I don't know. Look at my Renhe Building. Although it is not the first brand restaurant in the capital, it is still good in terms of area and food reputation. Because it is a time-honored brand, it probably can’t compare to those newly established restaurants.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the sign on the wall with the name of the dish, and said: "In the past six months, there have been many new shops in the capital, and the dishes have always been renovated. Our cook is getting old, and the price of hiring a new cook is high." High. A cook is paired with a firewood, and the cost is higher.[

This ordinary dish attracts fewer customers. "

Wang Pang listened to him, saw the shopkeeper and said: "Our decoration is not as good as those new hotels, and there are no famous singing girls stationed here, and the prizes can't keep up, so it is declining."

Wang Pang nodded: "If the shopkeeper doesn't sell it now, if he insists on it for a few more months, it will be the big exam in autumn, and the business will be easy to do."

Cui Fu said: "If you don't ask for it, opening the door is just asking for a fee. I can't make it through now. Only this little girl is still following, and everyone else is gone. I have to pay taxes whether I open the door. Anyway, I'm afraid I can't make it through." For a few months, it's better to go out and save some money, find a small place, just the two of us, and have a snack."

Seeing Cui Fu's disheartened heart, Wang Pang asked Cui Fu to show him the restaurant. Nine private rooms.Wang Pang summed it up, and it should be more or less enough for the wedding banquet.

Xiao Lu and the Xiaoer from Renhe Building chatted quite lively below, and the Xiaoer asked Xiao Lu: "This prince has such a big business, why are you hanging around our restaurant?"

Lu Shenyan pursed his lips and said, "You are lucky to be in charge Cui this time. Our son is like this, and we don't mind too much business. Most likely, you will follow our Mayer Mansion in the future."
