Train to Another World

Chapter 561 Greengrass

(Two in one)

There were only a few five people sitting on the wide dining table. One end was Li Zhuoguang and his two dog legs. Li Zhuoguang was dressed in daily life. Malfoy used double oil on weekdays and splits when flies stood up.

As for Percy, it can be seen that he has put out his best outfit, but the effect is similar to Li Zhuoguang's regular clothes.

On the other end of the long table is an old man and a girl. The three girls have seen them. They are Daphne Greengrass, the eldest daughter of the Greengrass generation. A man who is crazy and obsessed with pure blood, if nothing unexpected happens, is another Bella.

The old man is the old patriarch of the Greengrass family, the one who sold the seat of the congressman to Wei Changfeng. The Greengrass family is special. They did not express their position either when Voldemort was at its peak or after Voldemort fell.

Just like a spectator, watching everything happen. But they were not targeted by Voldemort. The reason may be that the Greengrass family began to decline more than ten years ago.

Like Malfoy, although there are few people, they are quite wealthy. For example, Weasleys are not very rich, but they have a large population. Greengrass almost absorbed the characteristics of these two families. He had few people and little money. The only valuable one was probably the position of the old patriarch as the MP.

And the reason why this time only the old patriarch and Daphne were sitting on the table is that except for Astoria who is still young, there are probably no other family members.

Daphne looked at Li Zhuoguang curiously. In his opinion, this person was her future brother-in-law. Although it is not one of the 28 pure bloods of the Holy World, foreign pure blood is also pure blood.

However, the old patriarch, after eating half of the steak on the plate, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and pushed the plate aside. He looked at the bottle in the wine basket by the table. One of the bottles had a blue ribbon tied on the neck. It was brought by Li Zhuoguang as a souvenir, and he just put it into the wine basket.

Now seeing this bottle of wine, the old patriarch frowned unhappily, then calmed down and said to Li Zhuoguang calmly: "Are you here to break the engagement? No, no, you don't even have a marriage contract, so why? What about breaking the engagement?”

Li Zhuoguang was stunned, but Percy next to him had already spoken: "Mr. Greengrass, Mr. Li came to visit this time as a junior, with kindness..."

The old patriarch waved and interrupted, "Percy Weasley, right? I've heard of you. You are very famous during this period. The first time the head of the Li family visited the outside world, I only brought you and the Malfoy family. The only youngest son, and in most cases, you are responsible for foreign exchanges.

When I visited those three congressmen before, everyone else praised you. But at this time, I want to hear him say more. ”

Percy shut his mouth and glanced at Li Zhuoguang helplessly.

Li Zhuoguang straightened up slightly and looked at the old patriarch: "How did you see that I don't want to marry the Greengrass family?"

The old patriarch said casually: "This time you single-handedly dealt with the basil monster in the Slytherin secret room is not a secret for all of us. Your strength and the strength of your family have been recognized by all of us.

Every member of Wiesengamor has sent you an invitation. But in the past two days, you have visited four families. The first three are the families of the three strongest members. I am the fourth one. I have even left Wisengamo and have never posted it to you. invite.

There were only three of them in fifty invitations, and each family only stayed for half a day, and let someone from another family speak for themselves. It seems that you really hate this kind of social activity. But at the end, you chose to visit me, that is, there is indeed something important to come to me.

Your souvenir is only one bottle of wine. Of course, I don’t dislike your souvenir being shabby. Latu in 1980s, no matter who he took it to visit, it was enough.

I mean, even if I explicitly imply that I want Astoria to marry you, you have never responded to anything there. And this time you came, you didn't prepare even a gadget for girls.

In my opinion, the meaning is already very obvious. ”

Li Zhuoguang wiped his mouth with a napkin: "The old man in Wiesengamo is indeed not simple. I came here, and I really meant to speak. Actually, I should have been here for a long time, but I had some... Not very mature, so I can't figure out a lot of things."

The old patriarch sneered: "I remember it was just last year. Why did you become mature after a year?"

Li Zhuoguang shook his head with a wry smile, not knowing how to explain, so he could only say perfunctorily: "I have entered adolescence, and there are new changes every day. But what I can assure you is that I am definitely not an ungrateful person, although the position of MP It's not within my plan, but since you give it, I will give you a good reward."

The old patriarch has reached this age, of course it can be seen that Li Zhuoguang has not lie, but his face is still quite gloomy, and even a hint of sadness: "Actually, I have prepared a lot. Although the position of a member of the Wiesengamo is precious , but it is not necessary to a powerful family. You just let the butler of your family take over the position of parliament.

As you can see, the Greengrass family has long been in decline. The Malfoy next to you, his father, had offered a price before, and wanted to use Jin Jialong to buy the position of MP, but I refused.

Although our family doesn’t have much money, luckily there are not many people, so it’s enough. What I really want is an opportunity for the Greenglass family to rise again, so I am willing to bet with a member of parliament. ”

Malfoy shrank his neck. He seemed to remember that his father said he was going to marry the Greengrass youngest daughter.

But since the Li family won the position of member of the Greenglas family, it has never been mentioned again. Even when he learned that the boss might marry Astoria, Malfoy decided to ruin this matter in his stomach. .

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhuoguang confirmed to the old patriarch: "So your appeal is the rise of the Greengrass family?"

The old patriarch frowned: "What do you mean?"

"I have said that there will be a reward for you. Since your appeal is to make the family rise and marriage is just a means, then I will just skip the intermediate process and help you rise."

The old clan was shocked: "Do you know the rise of a pure blood family..."

Smack, a stack of parchment was thrown directly to the old patriarch's table by Li Zhuoguang. The old patriarch looked closely and seemed to be a thick stack of contracts, but he clamped them together with a clip.

The old patriarch picked up the contract, opened the clip and read it page by page: "Is this?"

"I'll give you the industry under the name of the Black family. I checked it with Gringott and it's still running, but because the Black family members are withering and being suppressed by others, you have to find a way to make them stand up.

As long as it can run well, it can support a Black in the past, and now it can support a Greengrace. I will give you another 100,000 gold Gallon. As the starting capital, the rest depends on you. ”

The old patriarch frowned and looked at Li Zhuoguang in surprise: "What does this mean? Do you think Greengrass is not worthy of marrying you, so you want Greengrass to become your vassal?"

Li Zhuoguang waved his hand: "You think too much, I don't need you to become my vassal, and you don't need to over-understand it. As the literal meaning is, 'There will be a reward'. After that, do whatever you want. , I have no requirements for you either."

Suddenly, the old patriarch laughed out loud, and then shook his head helplessly: "That kind of help will not be supported by ordinary families. Can I ask why you are unwilling to marry my family. ? ”

Li Zhuoguang shrugged: "No matter at any time, my marriage is not a bargaining chip. If one day I really marry, I will marry love too.

Marriage is annoying just by hearing it. ”

"That's right." The old patriarch looked at Li Zhuoguang deeply: "Then I'll remind you too, you have offended many people after your previous actions."

Li Zhuoguang scratched his chin: "I have been very restrained since I came here. How could I offend people?"

The old patriarch pointed at Percy: "Because of him."

Passi was a little confused and frightened: "Is there any problem with me?"

The old patriarch talked: "Weasley is one of the twenty-eight pure bloods, but weasley has many branches, and Arthur's branch also has many sons.

So don't talk about Weasley, you can't represent even Arthur's one. It can be said that you followed the patriarch of the Li family to visit the congressmen of other families, and your role is even worse than that of the youngest son of the Malfoy family. ”

Malfoy started to start with a daze, is it that important for me?

The old patriarch continued, “The Malfoy family has always been a single lineage, and each generation has only one son, so the son of the Malfoy family must be the next generation patriarch, and he can completely represent the Malfoy family.

He only had to follow him to visit, without even saying a word, which showed that the Malfoy family, its allies and vassals were all advancing and retreating with the Li family. He is extremely important.

But you are different. ”

Percy was a very smart person, and when he heard this, his face turned pale. He wanted to take this opportunity to meet more capable people, but he didn't expect...

"If you go with me, there is nothing. Everyone will only think that this is Weasley. No, no, it should be a signal that Arthur's Weasley team is approaching the Li family.

But you took the initiative to take on the responsibility of foreign exchanges. The patriarch of the Li family is on an equal position. Although the children of the Malfoy family are a little bit worse, they can barely do it. Do you think you are equal to them? ”

Percy's pale face began to turn red. The answer was right next to him, but he couldn't say anything. He was the one who was most uneasy about Weasley. He longed for power and wanted to be successful. He The most unacceptable thing is the fact that you are a small character.

The old patriarch smiled and said, "The truth is a bit uncomfortable, right? But that's the truth. Everything you feel now is what I have felt for decades."

Percy looked at the old patriarch in surprise.

No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!

I heard the old patriarch continue, "You just feel uncomfortable, and you get used to it after a while, but he..."

The old patriarch pointed Li Zhuoguang: "I didn't say anything nonsense just now. Others' evaluation of Weasley is indeed quite approving, and no one will hold a grudge against him.

Although he has never attended a high-class banquet, he is neither humble nor arrogant, has a well-founded approach and precise wording, and even expresses many of your perfunctory meanings in an acceptable way.

But no matter how good he performs, others will only think that you took Weasley to the banquet just because you don’t want to talk too much with them, which is a kind of contempt for them.

You have this attitude towards those three families. It is also conceivable how other families who have not attended the banquet will view this matter. ”

After listening to the old patriarch's analysis, Li Zhuoguang said: "So that's the case, let them see it."

The old patriarch sighed helplessly: "You can't pretend at all if you have your attitude."

Li Zhuoguang shrugged: "I just don't bother to pay attention to them. Voldemort would kill people if he didn't throw himself at him. You Greengrass escaped because of his small population and weak strength.

Back then, they could even tolerate Voldemort like that, why are they so harsh to me now? ”

When the old patriarch suddenly heard Voldemort's name, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he still said, "I don't deny that you may be stronger than the Dark Lord in the future, but you have not grown up yet."

Li Zhuoguang scratched his chin: "I believe they will change their wrong views."

"You...ah! Forget it, I will explain it to you privately, just be careful in the future."

Li Zhuoguang did not refuse the kindness of the party, but just chatted for a few more words before saying goodbye, and the old patriarch did not try to keep him.

When Li Zhuoguang left Greenglas' old house, the old patriarch heard a series of subtle footsteps, as if he was away. He shook his head and said to Daphne, who had not spoken out from beginning to end, "You go and persuade your sister later. It's not because she is not willing to marry, nor because her family is weak. Someone said just now If that's the case, she should have heard it, she's not without a chance."

Daphne nodded coldly and left the dining table.

The old patriarch was left in the living room. He recalled the meeting just now and couldn't help but murmur: "Weasley and Malfoy, the most faithful and the most judging situation, interesting..."

It was already dusk when the three of them returned to Hogwarts, and the students around them ignored it. However, when Iron Triangle was walking outside the castle, he saw the behavior of the three of them. Ron widened his eyes. He didn't understand why Percy was also mixed with Li Zhuoguang.

As he was about to approach the castle, Li Zhuoguang heard Percy whisper to him, "I'm sorry."

Li Zhuoguang turned around and said, "I'm sorry?"

Percy gritted his teeth: "It's all because of me..."

"You did a good job, Old Greengrass is praising you. And I really don't want to play diplomatic rhetoric with others, which is why I took you to the banquet. You did a good job, and I will still be there next time. Looking for you."

"Old Greengrass didn't say..."

"Ha, I care about them. When we went to the banquet, did they express their dissatisfaction when facing us?"

"without."

Li Zhuoguang said indifferently: "It's like socializing with people like them. You have to live up to your face. Just like I don't want to deal with them, so I will look for you. Although they are dissatisfied, they will only greet you with a smile.

I have nothing to ask for, but they want to contact me. I don’t know the resources I have. If you have time, you can ask Wei Changfeng yourself. If you have more than 40 families, you can visit them yourself. Of course, you can also take Malfoy with you.

You all know about resource integration and interoperability. Don’t do business at a loss, just let the rest. Anyway, Wei Changfeng is almost busy, and he wishes he had an assistant to share his worries. ”

Percy said stutteringly, "But I'm a Weasley."

"What's the matter?"

Percy suddenly felt that he couldn't repay him: "No... nothing, then after I graduate?"

“Tsk, don’t always think about hugging your thighs, think more about how you become your thighs.

With your current authority, if you can't even get your foothold after visiting these forty-seven companies, then you should stay away from the world of fame and fortune, which is not suitable for you.

I told you from the beginning, "Don't do business at a loss." Doing business is profitable. As long as you don't lose money, it is a regular operation for you to extract reasonable parts from the profit as your performance. ”

Percy was stunned. He stood there blankly, watching Li Zhuoguang walk into the castle gate.
