Early in the morning, Zhang Yan and Xia Lao left the villa for the merchants in Xiangyang City.

The merchant is not in Xiangyang City, but in the suburbs. It is a huge manor, covering an area of ​​at least a hundred acres, and you can see imposing ancient buildings standing in the manor everywhere.

"What a magnificent manor, what a magnificent building." I couldn't help the excitement in my heart, and sighed from the bottom of my heart.

Xia Yu also looked envious. After the Xia family and the merchant were both famous doctors, if not for the accidents many years ago, perhaps the Xia family would not have ended up in the current land. I am afraid that it is more luxurious than the current merchant.

"Zhang Yan, this is the merchant's manor in Xiangyang City. The merchant's Chinese medicine business spreads all over the country, and it is also the largest force in Xiangyang City."

Xia Yu's introduction made Zhang Yan feel very unhappy. Is it interesting to talk about it now? If you lose, it's okay, but you will lose face. If you win, you will undoubtedly offend the merchant.

"Let's go in! Don't make the merchants wait in a hurry." Xia Yu greeted Zhang Yan, and the two walked towards the gate of the manor.

There were two security personnel at the gate of the manor. Seeing Xia Yu and Zhang Yan approaching slowly, they stepped forward to block their way, and only let them in after handing over the merchant's invitation card, and waited for them to enter the manor Only after that did the two security officers discuss it.

"Hey, isn't Xia Yu bringing his granddaughter to the competition every year? What's wrong with bringing a boy this year?"

"The devil knows, it doesn't matter to us, let's watch the door carefully and wait for the salary increase! Grandma, half of the current salary is used for renting a house, and the other half is used for food. I don't plan to do it if the salary is not raised. Why? The merchant has served for so many years, and the monthly salary of 2000 yuan is too much!"

"You complained, so as not to be overheard and tell the young master."

"So what if you tell him, it's a big deal not to do it."

Under Xia Yu's leadership, he walked through one garden after another and entered a wooden gazebo. In the gazebo, an old man and a young man sat smiling and talking, drinking tea leisurely.

The wooden gazebo is facing a small garden, the scenery is beautiful, and the air is very good. Zhang Yan can't help sniffing his nose because of the fragrance that hits his face. There are several exquisite pastries on the table. Outside the gazebo, several servants are waiting On the side, it can meet the needs of two people at any time.

The old man in the gazebo noticed Xia Yu who was walking slowly, and got up to greet him. The young man beside him also got up and came outside the gazebo.

"Brother Xia, stay safe and sound!"

"Hehe, thanks to Brother Tuo Shang, his body is quite tough. This is Shang Yun, right! He's getting more and more handsome."

"Hehe, if you're not handsome, how can you marry your granddaughter! Shang Yun, hurry up and meet Mr. Xia."

With his grandfather's order, Shang Yun bowed down reluctantly and called out to Mr. Xia.

When Shangzu saw the young man next to Mr. Xia, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Xia, this is the helper you invited! He doesn't look old, you really have confidence that he can Won Shangyun."

"Brother Shang, it's a competition if you can't win! This is the rule set by the ancestors, and I dare not violate it."

Shang Zu sneered in his heart. Even if Xia Yu found a helper, he didn't believe that the other party could win his grandson Shang Yun. If it weren't for the Xia family's profound medical background, he would never let Shang Yun marry the Xia family. Girl, as long as Shang Yun marries Xia Shang and Xia Yu dies, the entire Xia family will become the merchant's pocket, and its strength will increase by leaps and bounds.

"Young man, do you feel uncomfortable getting up so early?"

"No, I have the habit of getting up early since I was a child." Zhang Yan smiled and waved his hand to indicate that it doesn't matter.

On the surface, Shang Zu is very friendly, giving people a kind feeling, but Zhang Yan has a feeling that Shang Zu is not as simple as it seems on the surface, especially the sneer on the corner of his mouth, which makes Zhang Yan have a feeling Kind of creepy feeling.

"Sit down and have a cup of tea first, and have some breakfast, and we will arrange a competition between the two later."

Xia Yu bluntly accompanied the two of them to sit on the wooden stool in the gazebo, and Zhang Yan also sat down carelessly. Without being invited by the merchant, he grabbed a plate of dim sum and started to gobble it up. starving.

Shang Yun glanced at Zhang Yan, who was devouring and impolite, and sneered disdainfully. In his opinion, such a young man was simply vulnerable.

Sensing the boy's actions, Shang Zu also frowned.

"Young man is also from Wutai County? Why haven't I heard Brother Xia mention you before!" Shang Zu asked Zhang Yan, who was buried in the pastry.

As if being asked by Shang Zu's words, Zhang Yan's throat was choked by the pastry, and he took a drink of the tea on the table unceremoniously. A famous little doctor can't get on the stage, it's just that Mr. Xia appreciates it."

Zhang Yan's words not only gave Xia Yu face, but also sealed Shang Zu's questioning, and his answer can be said to be watertight.

"What a young man who can speak well." Shang Zu praised from the bottom of his heart.

"So that's the case! No wonder brother Xia recommended you so much."

Seeing that Shang Zu was not asking questions, Zhang Yan swept the pastries on the wooden table again, until the last pastry entered his stomach, and then he burped in satisfaction.

"This pastry is so tempting and delicious."

"Young man, do you want to play a game again?" Shang Zu asked politely when he saw Zhang Yan's unfinished expression.

"Then thank you, Mr. Shang. You don't need too much, just one set. By the way, Mr. Xia, do you want more? If you want, you can have two sets."

"I don't need it anymore." Elder Xia replied.

"Mr. Xia doesn't need it, just give me a plate!"

Shang Zu didn't expect that the young man who was politely dismissing him would actually take it seriously, with a look of anger on his face, he asked his servants to bring a plate of pastries.

Shang Zu and Xia Yu talked, Zhang Yan was only eating the delicious cakes, while Shang Yun stared at Zhang Yan with disdain and said nothing, those who didn't know thought he was a starving ghost.

"Young man, are you full?" In order to avoid what happened just now, Shang Zu simply did not continue to ask.

"It's really delicious. Thank you, Mr. Shang, for the breakfast. If I knew there were such delicious pastries, I wouldn't have eaten last night. I would save my stomach to eat your pastries."

The three people present were speechless. They had seen thick-skinned ones before, but they had never seen such brazen ones.

"Brother Xia, since Dr. Zhang Yan is full, shouldn't it be time for us to have today's competition?"
