Divine Doctor Poison Concubine: Miss Waste

Chapter 498 Seeing off (2)
After the man who looked like a housekeeper walked up to the third floor, they turned around the corridor and walked all the way to the door of the northernmost room. The man knocked lightly, and after a while, the door creaked and opened.

Xia Qingge stood behind the man, looked up when he opened the door, and happened to meet a pair of bright eyes that were smiling.

"Miss Xia, long time no see."

"I'm going to the border, is Master Wan safe?" Xia Qingge smiled when he saw Wan Tianlin who opened the door.

Although the two are not very familiar with each other, she also contacted Wan Tianlin through Yunzheng and Wan Tianlin when doing business half a year ago. To be a good friend in the tea ceremony naturally has an extra heartfelt feeling of sympathy.

"Miss Lao is concerned, everything is fine." Wan Tianlin replied very politely, then turned to look at the man standing beside him, "Uncle An, you can order the food."

"Yes, young master and Miss Xia wait for a while." Wan An nodded respectfully, gestured to the two of them, then turned and left.

"Come in with me, my grandfather has always wanted to see you."

"Ok!"

Xia Qingge was a little excited. The Wan family had always kept a low profile. Although the family was rich, they hadn't seen the family members attending any celebrity banquets in the capital, let alone the Wan family's children stepping into official careers.

The people's livelihood in the Qin and Wu Dynasties was open, and merchants were not lowly and low-class people in this era. In addition, the Wan family was an imperial merchant. Although there were countless nobles in the capital, they were all closely related to the Wan family. In the past half a year, I have become very familiar with the various businesses operated by the Xia Mansion, and have also discovered that many businesses in the Xia Mansion are related to the Wanjia Bank. From this point of view, the strength of the Wanjia lies in the strength of Panza among the nobles in the capital. very deep.

Such a wealthy businessman can still stand tall after living in the capital for a hundred years, which can be seen from the connections.

Xia Qingge sent someone to investigate the Wan family a long time ago, but the news sent back surprised her. Such a rich family has never found any clues, and it is even difficult to find out how the ancestors of the Wan family made their fortune. As long as she wanted to know about the big families in the capital and even the nobles in the palace, she would be able to track them down, but this Wan family was so mysterious that she had nowhere to find them.

As Wan Tianlin entered the Tianzi No. [-] room, she smelled a faint fragrance as soon as she entered the room. , the carving work is very exquisite, the couch is covered with soft silk, satin and cotton cushions, a prepared chessboard is placed in the middle, and there is a large square window on the west side of the house. Looking at the vast and boundless Dongping Lake, there is a vast expanse of white scenery outside the window at this time.

Although the windows and doors are open, the stove in the house makes the whole house warm like spring. The cabinet is covered by a wooden carved screen, and a light blue brocade curtain is hung. You can vaguely see that there is a round table inside. table.

After Wan Tianlin walked around the screen, the scene of the cabinet also came into Xia Qingge's eyes. At this time, besides her three masters and servants and Wan Tianlin, there were four other people in the room. The man sitting next to the round table has gray hair and is about eighty years old. There is a wise color between his eyebrows and eyes. He is wearing a navy blue satin cotton gown and a mink hat on his head. His eyes are slightly closed , his lips were tightly pursed, as if he was resting at this time.

The three men standing behind the old man were tall and burly men, all dressed in black and wearing a high-quality sword around their waists. Their eyes were cold and their faces were hard. They looked like they were warriors who had undergone years of hard training.

"Grandfather, Miss Xia has arrived." Wan Tianlin walked to Mr. Wan's side, bowed his head and lowered his voice to report.

The old man's eyelids trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes, and a pair of Shunzi with the wisdom of the deep sea appeared in front of him.

"My daughter Xia Qingge has met Mr. Wan." Xia Qingge greeted him very politely.

Mr. Wan stared at Xia Qingge closely, fixed on her slightly drooping face with scrutiny, and finally said: "Miss Xia, you are welcome, although we have never met, but this time the business in Youzhou is very important." Thanks to Miss Xia for pointing it out!"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Wan mentioned the tea horse business in Youzhou directly. Xia Qingge's eyelids twitched slightly, and then he raised his head to meet Mr. Wan. The meaning inside the smile.

"Mr. Wan is too flattering to my daughter. My daughter thinks that even if my daughter didn't find Mr. Wan back then, according to your sharp eyes, you will definitely do this business. My daughter still thinks that my daughter has taken advantage of it."

After listening to Xia Qingge's words, Mr. Wan also had a smile on his face: "Miss Xia is too modest. Your intelligence makes me admire. I think you and our Wanjia will definitely have other business cooperation in the future."

"My little girl is also looking forward to cooperating with Wanjia. Just because of your generosity and righteousness in this dividend, old man, my little girl admires you very much."

"Hehe, Miss Xia is really different from those ladies who go through the needles in the boudoir in the capital. Please sit down. The old lady and I hit it off right away. We really want to have a good chat."

Xia Qingge nodded slightly, looked up at Wan Tianlin, and saw that he was also smiling at him at this moment, with admiration in his eyes.

The three of them sat in the banquet, and after a while, Wan An, who had left, came in with a few staff from Fengxianlou. The staff carefully placed the various dishes in their hands on the table before withdrawing respectfully. Go down, and then two groups of people came in a row to deliver the food and wine.

Xia Qingge glanced at the dishes on the table, all of them were Fengxianlou's top signature dishes, and even Fengxianlou's hard-to-find "thousand-faced red hand" was placed on the table early, which shows the strength of Wanjia How far has it reached.

Speaking of this "thousand-faced red waving hands" is a famous dish that the nobles in the capital are chasing after, this dish has actually been passed down for hundreds of years. It is rumored that it has something to do with an eminent monk who got it at that time. She doesn't know exactly how , but she knew that this dish disappeared 100 years ago. Since then, this "thousand-faced red waving hands" can only be found in some biographies and celebrity poems, but since this Fengxianlou After the opening, "Thousand Faces Red Whispering Hands" was born, which caused quite a shock, but Fengxianlou has a signboard, this dish is only prepared for a few nobles in Fengxianlou, and it is difficult for outsiders to taste this dish even if they are very rich. The taste of a dish.

Xia Qingge knew that this dish was made after he got to know Murong Yu. He once ordered someone to arrange the cook for this dish to Xiafu, and now this person still goes to Xiafu every now and then to cook for her.

Although this dish is no longer so attractive to her, and even Qiaolan, Wushuang Hibiscus, Twelve Immortals and Twelve Stars around her have tasted it, but the value of this dish in the world is indeed extremely precious .
