Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Dou Dan sat in the guest seat, his face full of embarrassment.

Beside him is Wang Hongzhi.

Liu Bai took a deep breath, didn't even look at Wang Hongzhi, his eyes were fixed on Dou Dan.

"Liu doesn't owe favors easily. As a person, you know that Liu's favors are valuable. You just wasted this favor because of this person?"

At the beginning, the five-toothed ship was bought from Dou Dan.

That kind of thing can definitely be included in the top secret of the family, and even passed down!

It can be said that Dou Dan's willingness to sell did give Liu Baitian great face.

Dou Dan smiled coyly, and said: "There is no way, my Dou family and the Wang family are three generations of relatives, brother Changzong came to the door, I can't see you?"

"You still have this relationship?"

Liu Bai was a little surprised, but not very confused.

A big family pays attention to spreading branches and leaves.

This is how a network of relationships is formed.

If you check carefully, you will find that more than half of the 72th road against the king and the [-]nd road in the late Sui Dynasty were relatives.

Li Yuan's mother and Yang Guang's mother are still sisters.

Wang Hongzhi remained silent all this time, as if he was waiting for Dou Dan to introduce himself.

But Dou Dan never introduced him.

This made the well-trained Wang Hongzhi feel a little angry.

In the end, it was Liu Bai who took the initiative to bring the topic to Wang Hongzhi.

"Liu, the Patriarch of the Wang family, did have some important matters to attend to, so it is inconvenient to see each other, so please bear with me."

Liu Bai was very polite.

From the moment Dou Dan appeared, he knew that the Wang family had escaped.

Maybe they will bleed profusely, but it is impossible for the court to do anything to Wang.

Liu Bai's attitude surprised Wang Hongzhi.

He hurriedly got up, cupped his hands and said: "Patriarch Liu, you are being polite. I heard that the Supreme Emperor lives in your residence, so it is normal to be entangled in many things."

These words greatly increased Liu Bai's affection for him.

It seems that Wang Hongzhi is a person who can use very ingenious methods to avoid embarrassment for both parties.

Chapter 832 Loving Money Is Not A Problem

Liu Bai didn't know much about Wang Hongzhi.

There is only this vague name in my mind.

However, he is quite familiar with his son.

In history, his son Wang Fangqing was the prime minister during the Wu Zhou Dynasty.

The merits are quite satisfactory, compared with Fang Xuanling and the others, it is a hundred blocks behind.

Liu Bai's calligraphy is the master of a hundred schools of thought. Among the rewards given by the system, he has practiced almost all the famous people's calligraphy.

There was one of them that Liu Bai liked very much.

That is Wang Fangqing's "Wang's Eight-Title Book Fan".

It can be said that Wang Fangqing's copybooks are also the best of all kinds, and they have mastered the essence of many predecessors.

The origin of Wang's family education, in the Tang Dynasty alone, Wang Fangqing can be regarded as a master.

It seems that having a good father is really important to children's education.

Just by looking at him, one can tell that Wang Hongzhi is a polite and sincere gentleman.

It is very different from those veterans in the court who are well versed in thick and black.

"Perhaps it's time to find an ally in Jiangnan."

Liu Bai was thinking about important matters in his heart, but he didn't speak.

Dou Dan and Wang Hongzhi didn't dare to speak, they quietly waited for Liu Bai's next words.

Liu Bai didn't pay attention to the Jiangnan Chinese because they didn't have any military power in their hands.

Without military power, they are cattle and sheep at the mercy of others.

But if you can use this power for your own use, why not do it?

Judging from Taiji's information, Langya Wang's family style is quite good.

Aside from being a little greedy for money, they are not like those rich families in Hedong who can bully men and women.

Besides, being greedy for money isn't a problem, is it?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Liu Bai's face.

Dou Dan and Wang Hongzhi both breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this smile.

They are all understanding people, some things don't need to be said at all, and they can understand each other's meaning.

Wang Hong came to Liu's house to beg for mercy.

Coupled with Dou Dan's face, this matter is basically stable.

The only variable is Liu Bai's plot.

In case, he really wanted to swallow Wang Shi alive, Dou Dan's face would not be of any use.

Now it seems that Liu Bai is quite kind-hearted.

"It's almost time, how about we chat while eating?"

Wang Hongzhi was overjoyed, he got up hastily, and said: "Don't dare to refuse!"

Since the juniors moved to the academy, a large group of people in the Liu family basically didn't eat together.

Li Yuan and Mrs. Wan thought it was too far to go to the dining room, so they would have food delivered to their small yard every day.

Liu Wan'er and Liu Rong'er didn't move much either.

Because Li Chengqian said early on that when he returned from Gaochang, he would marry Wushun.

Several women, big and small, stayed in the house all day long, and they heard that they were going to embroider Wu Shun's wedding dress.

Recently, Li Yin and Li You moved back.

Still, it's been a busy day.

The supermarket will officially open in the morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest.

There are too many things that need them to handle.

Therefore, it was said that it was a family banquet, but actually only Liu Bai, Dou Dan, and Wang Hongzhi ate it.

In the dining room, except for the little pillar lying on the ground with his tongue sticking out, there was no one else.

Three bowls of noodles, a pot of saozi, two or three side dishes, plus a few bottles of unopened grape wine.

This kind of dish is what Liu Bai eats most often.

As a person, he doesn't like gourmet delicacies, delicacies from mountains and seas, but he can't get enough of noodles and dumplings.

As an authentic Guanzhong person, you should know that simplicity is beauty.

After Dou Dan saw the three large bowls, his face was full of displeasure.

He felt that Liu Bai didn't give him face.

Wang Hongzhi, at any rate, is also the patriarch of the Jiangnan Chinese family, and has seen the world.

Traveling thousands of miles to Chang'an, Liu Bai used noodles to fool people?

Wang Hongzhi was overjoyed!

He is more sensible than Dou Dan.

The simpler the dishes served, the more Liu Bai didn't treat him as an outsider!

Although southerners are not used to eating noodles, this bowl of noodles is extremely delicious in Wang Hongzhi's mouth.

This is Wang's future!

Although the Dou family are not authentic Guanzhong people, their branch has lived in Guanzhong for thousands of years.

I also have a soft spot for pasta.

How can you eat noodles without garlic?

While peeling the garlic, Dou Dan said, "The opening of the supermarket has been delayed again and again. I heard from that boy Li Yin that it will open the day after tomorrow. Is it right?"

The group of them had already turned their eyes back from Lingnan.

Maritime trade has entered into a regular state. As a representative of the ministers of the DPRK and China, Zhang Liang personally sits in Lingnan to coordinate the overall situation.

Fang Xuanling granted him a vacation of more than three months at once.

They just need to wait at home to receive the money.

Supermarkets are a heart disease.

It was said to open in March, but it ended up with a lot of messy things.

Said to open in May, and had a conflict with Changsun Wuji again.

Dou Dan felt that [-]% of the opening the day after tomorrow was just nonsense.

Liu Bai snatched two cloves of garlic from him, went to the pool to rinse them, and came back and said, "The day after tomorrow it will definitely open. I was planning to send invitations to you tomorrow morning to invite you to participate in the opening ribbon-cutting. You Now that I know, I won’t send the invitation.”

"do not!"

Dou Dan put all the peeled garlic in front of Liu Bai.

"If you wrote the invitation yourself, you must give it to me. It's a big deal. Please come and pick it up tomorrow!"

Liu Bai's handwriting is not worth a thousand gold, but at least nine hundred and ninety gold.

Furthermore, the opening of the supermarket also has a high commemorative value.

Liu Bai shrugged indifferently.

"I don't know Patriarch Wang, do you intend to come?"

Wang Hong swallowed the noodles in his mouth, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then spoke.

It seems that he is not used to talking while eating.

Eating and sleeping without talking is the basic rule among the Jiangnan Chinese.

"Patriarch Liu can just call the words on the table below."

Liu Bai smiled casually, and said: "Then Liu will call Mr. Changzong."

Wang Hong arched his hands and said, "I don't know what the 'supermarket' that Patriarch Liu and Brother Dou are talking about is?"

Dou Dan glanced at Liu Bai, with a questioning look in his eyes.

Liu Bai raised his eyebrows as an answer.

Dou Dan had a solid idea in his mind, so he introduced the "supermarket" to Wang Hong directly.

He also saw that Liu Bai wanted to bring Wang into this group.

The more Wang Hongzhi listened, the more frightened he became.

"Such a whimsical idea, I am afraid that only the master of the Liu family has such a brain."

He felt a little uneasy.

The Wang family prides themselves on being a farming family, but that doesn't mean they don't do business.

On the contrary, if there were not a few pillar industries in hand, the members of the Wang clan would have starved to death.

Moreover, the Wang family's business is even bigger than that of the nobles in Chang'an!
