Chapter 40
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, Wei Ziqian was handed an invitation for a merchant gathering in Chuanzhou City.

The person who posted the post was Zhang Jiayin, the richest man in Chuanzhou City, a salt merchant.

When Wei Yi saw a little smile on their master's face, he suddenly realized that the target of their master's beauties was not Miss Jiang's Mansion, but a wealthy businessman in Chuanzhou City.

Thinking about it carefully, the sale of private salt requires the collusion of officials and businessmen.It is not easy to check the magistrate, but it is much more convenient for the merchants to check.

Seeing his belated appearance, Wang Lin silently groaned.

Unexpectedly, Xia Sichan also received an invitation card from Zhang Mansion.

She knows the communication between noble ladies and is not familiar with them, so she really doesn't want to go.

So I asked Shiju to show the invitation to Wei Ziqian.

Wei Ziqian was also surprised that in the usual gatherings of merchants and merchants, only the heads of each family went there alone. Could it be that this place is different from other places?
After pondering for a moment, he only thought that the atmosphere of Chuanzhou City was different.

Since he was going, Wei Ziqian thought for a while, the wives and ladies in this gathering among merchants must not know the rules like the ladies of the official family.

He also annoyed those cheeky ladies to come to his side, with Xia Sichan's ready-made shield, it was useless.

Thinking about it, he walked up to Xia Sichan and explained the truth to her briefly.He didn't ask for anything else, he just told Xia Sichan not to be bullied at the meeting.

Xia Sichan showed a face of resistance: "Master, can you not go?"

Regardless of past and present lives, she was really afraid of banquets with various names.

Especially with the dazzling existence of Wei Ziqian, who attracted the admiring eyes of many unmarried women, it just so happened that he became the target of those women's jealousy!
She doesn't want to be a target!

Wouldn't it be nice to eat and sleep in the inn?
Wei Ziqian looked at Xia Sichan who had a reluctance and refusal on his face, and said softly, "Madam, please try to deal with it."

Xia Sichan thought for a while, forget it, when she was away from home, she could only listen to him.

Besides, before reconciling and leaving, the two still have to deal with each other.

······
The twilight merged, the carriages and horses shone, and the wind lamp hanging from the eaves of the carriage radiated a bright yellow halo. This halo broke through the night and slowly moved forward to stop in front of Zhang's mansion.

At first, they thought they were newcomers, and the two of them were afraid that no one would care about them.

However, the reality is quite the opposite.

As soon as Wei Ziqian and Xia Sichan stepped into the other courtyard, a pair of dazzling Bi people instantly attracted the attention of more than half of the people in the courtyard.

What's more, Zhang Jiayin, the owner of the Zhang Mansion, came to greet him in person.

"Hey, brother Wei is such a blessed man to marry a wife like this!" Zhang Jiayin, the richest merchant in Chuanzhou City, is a refined man with phoenix eyes and white face who is nearly forty years old.Seeing the warmth on their faces, he cupped his hands and praised Wei Ziqian for his good fortune.

Wei Ziqian was a little displeased, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became weaker and weaker.

Large families pay attention to different seats for men and women. When entertaining guests, they will walk on two sides from the moment they enter the door.

This unruly businessman just keeps men and women together, and dares to stare straight at other women's relatives!

He cupped his hands rather coldly, his tall body completely covering Xia Sitong.

Seeing his haughty posture, the Zhang family thought of Mr. Jiang's words, and they probably guessed right.

This must be some noble son from the capital, look, even in his bones reveals the domineering aura of gold.

So, not only did she stop sneaking glances at Xia Sichan, but her posture became more modest.

He warmly said: "Young Master Wei, please come inside, please come inside."

Wei Ziqian swung open the gold-sprinkled folding fan in his hand, nodded lightly, and walked in with a detached and reserved manner.

These were seen by Cuiyu who had been sneaking here for a long time, pulled up the hem of her skirt, turned around and trotted to the backyard...

Because the Zhang family is a merchant, the renovation of the mansion pays more attention to arty.

The backyard is even more of a well-kept garden, with all kinds of flowers and plants competing in splendor.There are all kinds of pavilions, rockery, flowers and stones, and they are exquisite everywhere.

In the exquisite gazebo, Jiang Yuqian, the prefect's lady, is being surrounded by a group of wealthy merchants.

Jiang Yuqian's expression was haughty, and she was careless in dealing with the compliments from everyone.

Her girl Cuiyu trotted all the way, panting still, she leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Miss, that Mr. Wei is here."

"Huh? Where is he?"

Jiang Yuqian was so excited that she shook her small hands and almost knocked over the tea on the desk.Imagining the appearance of Zhilan Yushu on the high platform that day, my heart feels like a deer.

Cuiyu immediately replied to her: "It's in the front yard, it's coming here."

Cuiyu saw her young lady showing a rare daughter-like shyness, and recalled just now when she saw the stunning woman next to the tall man, her throat was sluggish, and her expression was a little anxious: "Well, miss, Mr. Wei brought his wife..."

"What?" Jiang Yuqian frowned, and a look of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

She lowered her voice and reprimanded: "Didn't I tell her not to send invitations to her?"

I clearly ordered Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei to be left out, so how can these people do things!
Cuiyu explained: "Miss, Madam ordered it. Madam said that if Mr. Wei is really good, she has her own plans."

The magistrate's wife didn't pay much attention to the "Miss of the Wei family". She had a wishful thinking, and when the time came, she would give more money and tell the wife of the Wei family to leave voluntarily.This is already very generous

Hearing this, Jiang Yuqian's brows loosened and she felt relieved.

She waved her hand and accepted the explanation: "Go to the front yard and have a look."

Jiang Yuqian's rejection of Wei Ziqian's invitation from Lantern Night was immediately known to Mrs. Xu, the magistrate's wife.

Immediately, they sent someone to inquire about the news, who knew that the young master surnamed Wei already had a wife in his home, so he naturally disagreed.

Could it be that her precious and delicate daughter was sent to someone to fill in a house?
So he scolded his daughter severely.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuqian heard that the person she likes was married, and when she was heartbroken, she thought about the elegant demeanor of the person on the high platform, and said to her mother: "I am willing to fill in the house!"

"Nonsense!" My mother scolded me immediately...
This Jiang Yuqian is also a spoiled master. Hearing her mother's accusation, she picked up the scissors and twisted her hair, saying that she was going to be a maid in the nunnery.

Seeing this, Xu, who doted on her daughter, let go, thinking about seeing her in person tomorrow.If it is really Mr. Pianpianjia, then it is not impossible to fulfill her daughter's wish.

It was the prefect's wife who personally spoke to invite the women's family members to this gathering.

······
Wei Ziqian is tall and tall, noble and unparalleled, showing his innate temperament in the crowd, standing out from the crowd.

As soon as he entered the backyard, many people gathered together, their attitudes were very enthusiastic.

After all, it is a merchant's family, but the rules are still loose.

If not, how would the servants dare to walk around at will?

Xia Sichan followed closely behind, watching him greet them from time to time, with a cold but not rude attitude.

However, everyone kept praising him for his good fortune, and when he was married like a flower, a trace of impatience flashed in their eyes very quickly.Merchants are superficial, and they really don't know the rules when speaking!
 Wei Ziqian: After all, merchants don't understand etiquette at all!
