Return of the Swallow

The Lu family promoted officials, and even if they are still new and new, they will gradually become fans of the Lu family in the future.

I don't know how many people the Lu family has placed in the court and how much money they have earned.

In the blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of October, when Qiu Feishan told Pang Xiao Qiu's family to negotiate business with the Lu family.It is also the day when the Dingsheng restaurant holds a water table.

Because it was announced early that anyone can come to eat wine and food today, as soon as it opened early in the morning, many people gathered outside the Dingsheng restaurant.

When people were released in the restaurant, many people in Danzhou City poured into the restaurant like a tide, and the people were saying "Congratulations, Wanfu, happy birthday!"

Pan Xiao and Qin Yining stood in the lobby on the first floor, next to the counter.

Pang Xiao wore a jewel-like flower and splendid arrow-sleeved gown. With such a fancy color, coupled with his deliberately hooked waist standing posture, Pang Xiao made a three-pointer performance for the image of a beauty who is spending a lot of money.

He seemed to be holding a water table at home, grinning triumphantly, and unceasingly said, "Thank you, thank you!"

Many people looked at him curiously, and others came forward to talk.

Pang Xiao didn't care at all, chatting with people openly, and often showing off the beauty of the beautiful concubines around him.

Qin Yining was happily watching the play, and she often held Pang Xiao's arm. She was so charming and undisguised that many people who came to eat the water table were dumbfounded.

Near noon, a pair of masters and servants in front of the door attracted Pang Xiao's attention.

The master is not confused about the new year. He is dressed in a brocade uniform with a solid body and a gentle complexion.Behind him was a young man in his early twenties.

It's not uncommon if only this is the case, but Pan Xiao keenly observed that when they entered the door, they were supposed to be the master but asked the opinion of the young man behind him. The young man had outstanding temperament and could not hide his arrogance.

Pang Xiao and Qin Yining looked at each other, and the two of them went around the round table in front of them and walked two steps closer to them.

As soon as the other party entered the door, they noticed Pang Xiao and Qin Yining. It was true that the appearance of these two people was too outstanding to be ignored.

The two came closer, and the down-to-earth middle-aged man arched his hands and said with a smile: "I heard that it is the birthday of the beautiful concubine in the mansion? I will ask for a glass of drink, the son will not mind."

When Pang Xiao heard that this person had some Jianchuancheng accent, he confirmed that the person here was indeed from the Qiu family. He smiled and said, "Well, how can I just drink and drink?" He approached the person and asked in a low voice: "But the Guangtong number came to do business?"

The other party was taken aback, then he folded his hands and smiled: "Forgive me for my blindness, are you?"

Pang Xiao smiled, and whispered: "The person next to Master Xialu." He said loudly: "There is still room upstairs, please go upstairs."

The two looked at each other, then looked around, carefully confirming that it was OK before they went upstairs.One is to meet strangers for fear of being untrustworthy, and the other is to be afraid of being noticed by someone who is interested. After all, buying an official is not a trivial matter. Of course, this kind of business is done under the covers, so who will make it public?

The people who watched Lu's "joint" are so cautious, knowing that they are going to talk about business today, and specially created such a lively and chaotic scene to cover people's eyes, the two masters and servants have become more careful.

Watching the two go upstairs, Qin Yining leaned close to Pang Xiao, climbing his shoulders to his ears, as if joking with Pang Xiao, but in fact asked: "Will they believe you?"

Pang Xiao squeezed Qin Yining's cheek, and his smile was very rippling.

"What are you afraid of? Isn't this right? They came to do this kind of business, naturally hoping that the more confidential the better, we did this, just to follow their guess, they should have believed in our identity."

Qin Yining couldn't help but sneered, "Hurry up and let them leave when the business is done. Otherwise, the night will have many dreams and the stuffing will be omitted."

"I know, I have a sense of measure."

While they were speaking, the two reached the second floor and saw that the two were already sitting at a table in the corner.They were eating tea and other dishes, and they didn't know that the guests who came to eat at the tables on this floor were Pang Xiao's subordinates.

Pang Xiao walked over with Qin Yining, and said with a smile: "You are willing to appreciate your face. It's really a honour for a kid. It's a good time to see you in the next, you haven't asked for advice?"

"The surname in the next is Qiu." The shopkeeper Qiu showed a kind smile on his round face, "Sit down, please.

Pang Xiao nodded and took a seat openly.

As a female generation, Qin Yining is naturally not easy to participate in the conversation between men, so he retreats very interestingly.

Pang Xiao smiled, and whispered: "The person next to Master Xia Lu is surnamed Wan. It's a coincidence, but it's Lianzong, the owner of your Guangtong number. Maybe it was still my own a hundred years ago."

Pan Xiao smiled and looked at the young man behind the shopkeeper Qiu, "You said that?"

The shopkeeper Qiu was taken aback, turned around and looked at the young man hesitantly.

After thinking about it, the young servant smiled calmly, stood with his hands folded, and nodded and said: "If it is true, it is fate."

Pang Xiao could be sure that this young man was the one sent by the Qiu family to negotiate this time, and the one sitting down was the entourage.

Pang Xiao smiled and asked, "Why don't you sit down and talk?"

Wan Gongzi stood still and smiled: "Just talk like this."

Pang Xiao knew that the other party was cautious and did not force it, and said directly: "In this case, it would be a problem. I will make a long story short. This number will be delivered to my designated location within ten days. You can go back and wait for the good news if you provide a candidate." Pang Xiao stretched out a slap to compare.

Lord Wan and the shopkeeper Qiu were a little dumbfounded.

"This number? Five million taels of silver?" The shopkeeper Qiu asked tentatively.

Pang Xiao blinked.

so much?

He originally only wanted five hundred thousand taels.

"Yes." Pang Xiao nodded calmly, with a natural look.

Lord Wan and the shopkeeper Qiu looked at each other again, silent for a while, and secretly slandered: Lu Family's hundred-year-old family, but that's it. Five million taels of silver can be spent?

Before they came, they thought how much it would cost to buy an official with the Lu family, but the reality is so preferential treatment.It would be a great thing if they could settle a clear settlement with five million taels of silver at a time, and then let go of each other in the future.

Pang Xiao condensed his eyebrows and said: "What? Do you think too much?"

As soon as the shopkeeper Qiu was about to speak, Young Master Wan already said: "There are indeed many, but I don’t want to join hands for a while. I don’t know if we can allow some time, or we can prepay a part of the deposit. We can pay another part of the money."

Pang Xiao remembered the attitude of the other person when he talked to Lu Zheng that day, and immediately learned Lu Zheng’s expression by ten percent.

"Pay part of it in advance? Sorry, our Lu family has never seen anyone pay this way." Pang Xiao's eyes were full of gaze, and said indifferent, "Or you are worried that my Lu family will not be able to do something, and you are greedy for your money ?"

Young Master Wan was a little embarrassed to be poked.

Five million taels of silver, if it were the original Qiu family, it would be a drop in the bucket.After all, there is a lot of heritage, and there are a lot of possessions, and in recent years, the operation of the Four-way has been booming. When has the Qiu family been short of silver?

But now, Qiu's family has been divided into several factions, and the Four-way has established itself with Qiu Feishan, and it is not as simple as half of the gold and silver taken away.

Qiu Yuanqing has been controversial, and there are many voices of opposition in the family.The silver in Qiu Yuanqing's hands is really not as rich as before.

The Lord Wan's thoughts were in vain, "Where can it be, the Lu family has a great career, and will not be greedy for such a bit of silver. It's just..."

"It doesn't matter. If you feel worried, then let this deal go." Pan Xiao smiled, but his eyes were unabashedly contemptuous and impatient, "I don't want to conceal it, I still have a few more students on hand. If it fails, I have to meet with the next customer."

Pang Xiao stood up.

Wan Gongzi was extremely surprised, why the other party didn't care if things could be negotiated!

Or in the eyes of the other party, their Qiu family's business is not worth mentioning?

Thinking of this, Lord Wan was immediately frightened, and took a step anxiously: "Hold on!"

Pang Xiao raised an eyebrow and looked.

Lord Wan thought for a while, after all he couldn't come here in vain, nodded and said, "Alright, we have to set up a document, we have given the money, and you have to write a receipt..."

"This kind of thing doesn't need a paperwork, it's a verbal agreement. The receipt is even more unnecessary. Let me say it again. Our Lu family is doing a lot of business. If you are worried about denial, you really don't need it."

The son of Wan immediately understood that the other party was afraid of guilt.

"It's just that there is no paperwork, no receipt, only a verbal agreement. If something goes wrong, we don't know who to go to."

Pang Xiao smiled, "Such a problem, can you go to the government to file a complaint?"

The son of Wan choked, completely at a loss as to how to answer.

"No matter, the transaction is all voluntary. If you feel wrong, let's meet again." Pang Xiao smiled and handed over and left.

The Lord Wan and the treasurer Qiu were a little anxious now, and it seemed that the Lu family really didn't take this transaction in their eyes.

"Wait," Wan Gongzi said solemnly, "I agree."

"The son is really happy." Pang Xiao's lips curled up, "In this way, you will send the bank notes to a newly opened food shop in Guangqing County called Guangqing, where the treasurer Zhao Da is ours. When I got the news from the treasurer of Zhao Da, I immediately started to work for you. Just listen to the news."

This Guangqing County is not far from the old one.

It is not surprising that the Lu family's industries are spread all over the country.

Young Master Wan nodded and leaned close to Pang Xiao's ear and whispered a few words, "...This is the person, so, we are waiting for good news."

"It's easy to say." Pang Xiao was a little at a loss when he heard what the other person said. He had no impression of this person at all, just an inconspicuous sixth-rank official.

Pan Xiao looked as usual, without the excitement of making a big deal, turned around and went downstairs.

The shopkeeper Qiu took a long sigh and said in a low voice, "It's really rich."

"Yes." The negotiation process has been suppressed, and the ten thousand sons are angry and helpless. "Now it is us who ask for help, nothing else, as long as it can be done. Let's go out of the city immediately and go back to prepare for the silver, and send it as soon as possible."

Shopkeeper Qiu hesitated, "This situation is really unreliable, there is no proof at all, and the money is given for nothing. What if they deny it?"

"The knife is in someone else's hands. We have other ways besides obeying the mercy? The Lu family is a big business, but it's not enough."
