Chapter 472 "Kung Fu" is online, is Chen Wen the peerless master?
"I almost forgot something important. Today is your uncle Lou's son, Daguang's birthday. He was afraid that you might be a little awkward, so he didn't invite you. So, your uncle Lou specially asked me to come and pick you up so that you two brothers can have a good chat and improve your relationship. Your uncle Lou specially booked ten tables in Sui Lou today, seven or eight tables for the Chamber of Commerce people, and one or two tables for your brothers. He specially asked me to take you there. Hurry up and pack your things. It's time to go to the party in the afternoon."
If Liu Yaner had heard in the past that she was going to have a dinner with Lou Daguang, she would have been annoyed to death. But today, since Si'er said that there was a Peking opera coming from the footsteps of the Emperor of Heaven to watch there, how could she not be happy?
The master left after he finished speaking. When he left, he came back and drank half a cup of tea in one gulp. He felt refreshed all over. When he looked up, he saw the dust under the flower table, glared at it and said.
"How did you serve your master? There's dust under your master's fate, why don't you clean it up? What did the old lady say to you? This is Yan'er's life, how come it has become a waste in your hands? Be careful, it's a good thing that I discovered it today. If the old lady sees it, you guys will never get out alive."
Seeing this, many servants knelt down immediately.
"Master, please spare me, Master, please spare me. I think it was that woman who accidentally dropped some dust on the table when she was cleaning it for you. I'll be right over."
Si'er immediately knelt down and gently swept up the dust with his sleeves. It would have been fine if he didn't sweep it, but after sweeping it up, a few pieces of clay appeared. Afraid that the master would see it, Si'er swept it up immediately and put it in his hands.
The master seemed to be a little cleaner and nodded.
"Okay, I don't have time to deal with you little brats today. If there really is a next time, please be careful."
With two light snorts, the master left in a hurry. Lou Daguang's birthday was no small matter. Lou Tongzhi lavishly entertained various people from the Chamber of Commerce, as well as colleagues in official uniforms. It was said that the prefect was also among those invited. Whether he came or not was another matter, but there were countless officials under him, both big and small, so three or four tables were needed.
Together with the Chamber of Commerce and others, there were two or three tables. This was a great opportunity for a meeting, so of course etiquette was essential.
The master ordered Uncle Wang to make some arrangements in the house, take out all the valuable things, and wrap them up so as not to ruin his reputation.
All the big and small things must be gathered, all kinds of birthday banquet stuff are indispensable, and the etiquette can only be more, not less, the more etiquette is not strange, and Uncle Liu is the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, so naturally the etiquette is more than others.
After seeing the master off, Yan Er was already sweating profusely and sat down on the ground.
"Si'er, quickly bring me a bowl of that snowflake water."
Si'er took a deep breath.
"Mudan, go and bring a bowl of water to our master."
After hearing this, Mudan went to the cellar at the back and fetched a bowl of plum blossom snow water. Liu Yaner drank it immediately after getting it, feeling extremely refreshed.
Si'er was standing next to him, looking at his grandfather and shaking his head.
"Master, look what this is."
As he said this, he took out three or two grains of clay from his arms. After Liu Yaner looked at them, he loosened his hands and half a bowl of snowflake water was spilled on the ground. The bowl was smashed into pieces.
"Master, did you see it?"
Si'er shook his head.
"I didn't see it. I almost did. I picked it up. I'd better ask the old woman to clean up the study room. Otherwise, if she sees it next time, it will be all over."
Liu Yaner thought it made sense, and ordered the maid to come in and clean up the place, but it was a pity that the half bowl of plum blossom snow water was spilled all over the floor and could not be eaten.
There was a banquet to be attended in the evening, which was a great thing. Even though it would be a bit disgusting to see Lou Daguang's face that seemed to be superior to everyone else, Yan Er felt a little happier when he thought of those good excerpts.
When it was lunchtime, the old lady didn't ask anyone to serve the meal. Instead, a maid came over with a bamboo box containing a few exquisite side dishes. The maid said to Yan Er.
"Master, today the whole family is busy preparing for the birthday of Mr. Lou's son. We will probably have to eat in the evening. You will be attending the banquet with the master, so Madam asked me to prepare some exquisite side dishes to fill your stomach first and then eat some when we get there in the evening."
After Yan Er heard this, he sent her away. His mind had long been on the opera in Sui Lou, so he had no mood to eat, so he took a few bites and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Yan Er deliberately dressed up early, and Uncle Wang also prepared a generous gift for him as a birthday present for the young master of the Lou family.
It was said to be a birthday party for the young master of the Lou family, but this was actually an official ceremony and a meeting between business people. The status of the business community has always been low, and even if one is extremely wealthy, one cannot look down on others.
Now that I know some people in the officialdom, I think it should be easier to get things done. This is also what Lou Tongzhi is doing to benefit the Chamber of Commerce. As the vice president, Mr. Liu naturally cannot look down on this night banquet. If he treats it as an ordinary night banquet, then his head is really full of mud.
When Master Liu heard the news, he came back immediately, packed up everything, took away countless valuable things, bought exquisite, naughty and unusual things, various fabrics, and fine horses, and sent all of them to Tongzhi Lou's home.
These things should not be exposed to the public. If others knew about them, they would seem to attract attention.
Therefore, they sent it to Lou Tongzhi's home, forcing Lou Tongzhi to do this favor. There were also a lot of gifts, both large and small, pulled by three carriages. The carriages were filled with various brocade boxes, wrapped in plain cloth, for fear of being seen by others.
Uncle Wang prepared a carriage and waited outside for the master. The master came in a hurry, followed by the first wife and a few servants. The master was not dressed so ostentatiously this time, but rather more plainly. Yan Er was not the master, who was dressed in gold and silver, standing at the door in colorful clothes, waiting for the master.
The master came over, looked at him and shook his head.
"You go to wish someone a happy birthday, and you dress so ostentatiously. You're stealing the spotlight. Go back and change."
After hearing this, Liu Yan'er hid aside and didn't move. The eldest lady behind came over and saw that Liu Yan'er was wearing this dress, so she naturally didn't like it and dragged him away.
"Yan Er, why are you still so ignorant? Today we are going to the birthday party of the son of the Chamber of Commerce president. His son is the protagonist, and businessmen have always had a low status. If you show off your wealth, it will bring disaster. Go back and change quickly. Put on some simple clothes and come here."
