In Chang'an City, everything is silent.

In Huaiyuanfang below the west city, the gate is closed, but there is still a faint light.

This is the settlement area of ​​the "Persian merchants" in Chang'an City. There are many Hu merchants with a net worth of less than one million. In addition, there are descendants of the Persian royal family living here. Any foreign sect in the Tang Dynasty has temples built in Huaiyuanfang.

There is a curfew in Chang'an City at night. There are no people on the streets of the market except for the patrol soldiers, but those markets look different.

The Shi Mansion is considered a big house in Huaiyuanfang. Even the houses of descendants of the Persian royal family who were granted the title of the Tang Dynasty may not be comparable. Tonight, the Shi Mansion is brightly lit, and all the well-known Hushang and merchants in the western city have arrived to celebrate Shi Jian, the owner of the Shi Mansion.

The two east and west cities in Chang'an are the Fan City, and all the people doing business are Hu merchants and foreign tourists. Even the officials under the Western City Order are mostly Hu people.

Shi Jian joined the rank of Li Xiang of the current dynasty several years ago and was willing to drive him. Even if he was ridiculed as Hu Gou, he didn't care. Now he has finally received a reward. His predecessor, Xishi Ling, was old and weak, could not take matters. He was recommended by Li Xiang and became the sixth-rank Xishi Ling.

For the Hu merchants and merchants in Xicheng City, Shi Jian became a model for the Tang Dynasty officials. More importantly, Shi Jian became the one who could decide or even dominate their destiny after he made the order of Xicheng City in the future.

Therefore, all Hu Shangs who came to congratulate him brought great gifts to congratulate him, and some people even regretted not having flattered this "Golden-eating Hu dog under Li Xiang's disciple".

Shi Jian, who was in the high position, looked at the guests in the hall and felt that all the rolling eyes he had suffered over the years was worth it, but deep down he wanted to show off in front of these colleagues.

Just as everyone was raising their glasses to toast Shi Jian, a confidant suddenly walked to the side next to Shi Jian and whispered in his ear with ecstasy faces.

"This is serious?"

The guests in the room saw that the new Xishi Ling, who had been reserved and elegant in the face of their compliments, somehow excitedly knocked over the wine glass in his hands and spilled the table.

"It's true. I've read it carefully. It's Dalang's handwritten letter, so there will be no fake one."

Hearing the whisper of his confidant, Shi Jian didn't care about his demeanor, so he pushed the table up directly. Then all the musicians who played music stopped during the meal, and the originally noisy atmosphere was interrupted. The guests in the hall also stood up and looked at the Xishi Ling.

"Everyone, I feel a little uncomfortable and can't accompany you anymore. I hope you will forgive me."

"Mr. Shi is ill, so he should come and see him quickly..."

"Mr. Shi, go and rest, I'll wait..."

For a moment, the guests in the hall spoke one after another. Shi Jian didn't say much, but just left directly and asked the manager of the family to continue to entertain the guests. He went straight to the wing room of the back house.

In front of the gate of Bairifang City, his eldest son's confidant followed him and ran into the horse. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he fainted. After seeing the doctor, he said it was caused by fatigue. Because his life was not hindered, Shi Jian was a little worried, but he still had a big banquet for guests at the banquet.

"Meet the master."

In the room, Shi Rong's confidant who had already used food after waking up, saw Shi Jian, quickly saluted. He said that since he had Dalang's orders, he changed horses from Kucha to Chang'an and sent a letter back, but he didn't know what was going on to make Dalang so nervous.

"Leave Dalang to me."

As Shi Jian ordered someone to worship Shi Rong's handwritten letter. After Shi Jian looked carefully, his face became more and more ecstatic.

He worked hard in Chang'an for several years before he received the Western Market Order and became an official of the Tang Dynasty. But after all, he was a Hu Shang family. Even though the court was rich in Hu, Shi Jian never thought that such wealth could last. Maybe one day the saint was in a bad mood and thought that Hu Shang paid too little taxes. Which of the Hu Shangshang masters in Huaiyuanfang was not a pig and sheep to be slaughtered.

Their wealth was like a pile of gravel. If it weren't for the saints, the powerful people of the Tang Dynasty could have swallowed them alive. That's why he tirelessly wanted to integrate into the Tang Dynasty and become a real Tang Dynasty man.

Now his eldest son is favored by the legitimate daughter of Gao Dadu Protector, and Gao Dadu Protector did not dislike their Shi family as Hu Zong, and he actually acquiesced to this marriage. How could he not make him ecstatic?

"Master, this is a double happiness!"

In the room, several Shi family servants who were standing by beside him also showed joy and congratulated their masters.

"I have to go to Yancheng in person. You can go and prepare the gifts quickly. I will go to see Li Xiang tomorrow."

Shi Jian said in a deep voice that he knew that his eldest son was having a good relationship with the Han girl in Yancheng. Although with the current wealth of the Shi family, he could also choose a marriage for his eldest son in Chang'an City. After all, there is never a shortage of families in Chang'an City who are willing to sell their daughters for money, but this family may not be his son's good match.

But he never expected that the Han girl who should have been an ordinary Anxi Army family suddenly became the legitimate daughter of the Anxi Deputy Dadu Protector's Family. This marriage was definitely the best match for his Shi family.

Shi Jian knew that the 200,000 betrothal gift he had prepared was far from enough. Two million bets were almost the same. Who told the Gao Dadu family to be fine? He was the dignified daughter of the guardian. Although the Gao Dadu family was born in the survivor of Goguryeo, it had been three generations since he moved to the Tang Dynasty. Those ministers in the court could privately scold Gao Rio slaves, but in the eyes of ordinary people, the Gao family was a famous family in Anxi.

Shi Jian couldn't get two million chunks of money, but he could get it into his own various industries, including the warehouse shops in the West City, jewelry and antiques, as well as the huge camel caravans and the goods in his hands, which would be a bit of a damnation.

But he can afford this betrothal gift and must also obtain it!

Shi Jian knew that during the recent few casual conversations, Li Xiang mentioned this tall guru. The saint was already quite dissatisfied with the Great Jiedu of Hexi. It was imperative to conquer Xiao Bolu, and his future in-laws would be the head coach who would take charge of Xiao Bolu...

Thinking of this, Shi Jian was in a hurry. Once the marriage was completed, the eldest son would go directly to his father-in-law to be a soldier. As long as he successfully conquers Xiao Bolu, he can reward his honors and win titles. This is the beauty of glorifying his ancestors.

"You might as well go and sort out all the accounts at home for me..."
