Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 66
"Zhenyuan Escort Bureau Zhao Qianhai is here! A special gift of 1000 taels of silver to congratulate the Noble Hall on its opening!"

"Zheng Chengyun, the Hanlin scholar, has arrived! A special gift of [-] taels of silver to congratulate His Highness Prince Ning on the opening of the Noble Hall!"

"Master Xu Jin, the Minister of Rites, is here! A special gift of one thousand taels of silver to congratulate His Highness Prince Ning on the opening of the Noble Hall!"

"Master Zhao Ziyi is here! A special gift of one thousand taels of silver to congratulate His Highness Prince Ning on the opening of the Noble Hall!"

The sound of the arrival of distinguished guests came from the mouth of the shopkeeper. Countless people were already sitting in the lobby. At first, no one paid attention. When the important officials of the court appeared one by one, the wealthy businessmen all stretched their necks and looked back. The lowest ones were all in the fourth grade. The imperial official!

You must know that the status of merchants in the Qian Kingdom is not as good as that of farmers. Now so many dignitaries suddenly appeared, so even these wealthy merchants with great wealth could not help but panic at this moment, and they stood up to show their respect.

I thought these dignitaries had other places to sit, but the maids brought them into the hall one by one and arranged them around the wealthy businessmen.

This made a group of wealthy businessmen even more surprised that they were actually sitting together with these court ministers. Among them was even the Taifu, one of the three princes!

This alone makes tonight worthwhile, and I can go back and brag to others!

At this moment, many businessmen got up and got close to those first- and second-level officials. However, the other party's eyes were high and they were not very cold. They just talked softly to the bureaucrats around them. Even so, they did not make the wealthy businessmen feel their warm faces. Affixed to cold ass.

At this moment, a loud shout sounded from outside the door, immediately alarming everyone in the house.

"Liu Hanlong, King of Han of the State of Qi, has arrived and presented 1 taels of silver to congratulate His Highness Prince Ning on the opening of the Noble Hall!"

Everyone stood up together. Except for a group of court officials, not many people knew about the Yunshan Iron Mine. At this moment, Prince Han of Qi State unexpectedly appeared.

It immediately aroused the interest of many people.

But this is not over yet!
"General Ye Hongxue of the State of Jing has arrived. He has given a special gift of 1 taels of silver as a congratulation. I wish His Highness Prince Ning the opening of the Noble Hall!"

"Prince Li Muqing of the Kingdom of Zhou has arrived. He is sending a special gift of 1 taels of silver. I congratulate His Highness Prince Ning on the opening of the Noble Hall!"

The entire lobby was silent for a moment until the envoys from the Three Kingdoms entered the lobby, and everyone stared at them blankly.

It was Xu Jin, the Minister of Rites, who reacted first and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "His Royal Highness, General Ye, and His Highness the Third Highness, I didn't expect that you are here too!"

Liu Hanlong smiled slightly: "I was invited by His Highness Prince Ning. I didn't expect it to be so lively."

"Please come quickly, you three!" Xu Jin greeted warmly like a host.

The group of people attracted the attention of countless people. Li Muqing enjoyed the attention and nodded to the people around him from time to time.

The visitors alone stayed for half an hour until it was dark.

Just when everyone thought that no one would come again and that this mysterious noble hall should reveal its true face, three people came outside.

Two women and one man.

When the shopkeeper saw the name on the invitation, he was so frightened that he knelt down and shouted: "Prince Xuance is here!"

The corners of the mouths of the civil and military officials twitched, why is this guy here? What on earth is King Ning going to do?
Li Muqing's expression moved slightly, and Mr. Zhang beside him turned to look behind him, "Prince?"Could it be that guy?
All the wealthy businessmen looked excited, there was another prince!We still belong to our country!
Today’s gift is worth it!Worth it!

The person on the third floor spat out a sip of tea, looked at Xiao Feiyu opposite in shock, and quickly wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth: "What's going on!"

Xiao Feiyu pretended to be innocent: "The two of us have made such a big fuss, and we must give His Majesty an explanation, so after much thought, I decided to send an invitation to His Highness the Prince."

Zhao Kang frowned and walked to the window to look down, but Xiao Xuance and his party had already entered the lobby, so he observed a lonely scene.

"Forget it, that's fine. It will save you trouble in the future."

Xiao Feiyu stood up: "Then I'll go down first, and you get ready."

Zhao Kang hummed.

... Xiao Xuance was in high spirits in the lobby. He hadn't left the palace for a long time since Zhao Kang left. It was still such a lively scene. He looked at everyone present with excitement and shouted for people to arrange their seats.

A subtle warning sound came from behind him: "Be careful!"

Xiao Xuance trembled and almost forgot that there was a tigress behind him, and he coughed twice.

One of the two women behind him is a green mandarin duck, and the other is wearing a white veil covering her face and wearing a bamboo hat. You don't need to think about it to know who it is.

However, Taifu Zhao, Taishi Yang and others had already figured out who she was, and they rushed over and were about to salute, when Xiao Linglong coughed.

The two old men understood instantly and just went to say hello to Xiao Xuance.

All the people who had received the invitations had arrived, and the servants stepped forward to close the door and light bright lights.

The red cloth was torn off, and a high platform appeared in front of everyone.

Xiao Xuance had no knowledge and quickly said excitedly: "What kind of show are we going to perform!"

Green Yuan looked at the long table and wooden hammer on the stage and whispered: "It seems to be an auction."

Xiao Linglong was thoughtful. She really couldn't hold it back, so she came to see what kind of medicine Zhao Kang and Xiao Feiyu were selling in the gourd.

And many people around have already recognized that this is a unique decoration for the auction.

The wealthy businessmen who were aroused were gearing up one by one, wanting to see what good things this noble hall could come up with.

Money?Dude, there are plenty of them.

The more important thing is whether I can accumulate some connections here.

At this moment, Xiao Feiyu went downstairs step by step and walked to the high platform. Looking at the huge number of people, Xiao Feiyu's mood was not aroused at all. He smiled and said hello to everyone.

"Thank you very much for your compliments. Feiyu would be very grateful to you for coming to this noble hall, Xiao Wang!"

Everyone stood up in a hurry: "I have met His Highness Prince Ning."

The wealthy businessmen shouted particularly hard.

Xiao Feiyu responded with a smile, then clapped his hands: "Tea."

A group of women in cool clothes came out like colorful butterflies, holding trays to serve tea to the guests present, which was naturally Peiyuan tea.

Many people who had drank Peiyuan tea narrowed their eyes as soon as they took a sip of the tea. As expected of His Highness Prince Ning, he was serving such expensive tea to guests.

This thing is now sold for 180 taels of silver per tael of tea, and it is still expensive but not marketable!

"Well, this tea is sweet and refreshing, with endless aftertaste. It tastes so good without adding any seasonings. It's such a good tea!" Mr. Zhang next to Li Muqing couldn't help but admire it.

Liu Hanlong, the king of Han, also said: "Indeed, I have tasted many fine teas in Qi, but I have never tasted this tea. May I ask His Highness Prince Ning?"

"What's the name of this tea?"

Xiao Feiyu smiled playfully: "Your Highness, the King of Han, this tea is called Peiyuan Tea, and it was planted by Lu Yu, the Daqian Tea Fairy!"

Tea Fairy Lu Yu?

Liu Hanlong was a little confused when he heard this name for the first time. He was also a tea lover, but he had never heard of this person.

Xiao Feiyu clapped his hands: "Gentlemen, please enjoy the singing and dancing."
