Beijing Flavor Building, a private room.

Feng Baiwan "rejected" everyone's suggestion to go to Feng Shuai's Mansion and asked someone to greet the waiter in: "Is the old shopkeeper here? If you are here, please ask Mr. Guo to see him and say that his old friend Feng Zhaoyang is here!"

The waiter responded and went down to pass the message.

Restaurant business, entertaining guests from all over the world, and making friends widely.

This Mr. Feng dressed simply, but he sat in the main seat, and the others were like stars and had different identities, so the waiter dared not neglect it.

Mr. Guo had already heard that Yangzhou "distinguished guest" had come to Yashi.

As for whether to say hello or not, he did not hesitate.

Yangzhou is now hot yam, which is not easy to touch.

When the waiter came to pass the message, Mr. Guo couldn't help but frown.

The Feng family is in the private restaurant where guests are entertained in Yangzhou, where Mr. Guo’s brothers are included.

They are all in Huainan. In his early years, he met Feng Baiwan, the president of the Huainan Chamber of Commerce, but he was just a nod and could not be considered an "old friend".

After all, he was a rich man in the world. When the other party arrived at the Beijing Flavor Building, he took the initiative to invite him. Mr. Guo, the boss, would not come forward.

Mr. Guo did not delay and immediately asked the waiter to drive a jar of "Shenxianzui" with nine steamed and nine brewed wines and followed him to the private room.

"No wonder the magpies shouted this morning, but the distinguished guests fell down, and the small shop was full of glory!"

Mr. Guo entered the private room and took a little earnestness, clasped his fists and said to everyone: "I have met President Feng, and I have met you all..."

Feng Baiwan stood up and bowed and said, "I haven't seen you for eight years, Brother Guo is still in good spirits!"

Mr. Guo smiled and said, "President Feng is still as handsome as he was, and he is still the same as before!" While speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Feng Baiwan's Confucian shirt.

If I remember correctly, Feng Baiwan wore this Confucian uniform at the Mid-Autumn Festival party at the Huainan Chamber of Commerce eight years ago.

Feng Baiwan's reputation as "frugal" is really well-deserved.

After Feng Baiwan stood up, no other gentry and merchants sat down.

Although I didn't know that Feng Baiwan was very proud of this, no one was worried about it.

The man sitting in Feng Baiwan's head, he consciously gave up his seat and asked Mr. Guo to take his seat.

Feng Baiwan also pulled Mr. Guo’s arm and said warmly: “It’s rare to see you and I’ll see you again. I’ll have to have a few drinks today!”

Mr. Guo was flattered, but his heart became more and more alert, and he hurriedly said, "I didn't know that the president was here before, so I came too late. I respected President and guests with a cup!" After that, he personally put the cup on everyone.

Feng Baiwan held the wine cup and moved his nose, with intoxication on his face: "This is the 'Shen Ji' exclusively brewed 'Immortal Drunken'? It's true that it is well-deserved!"

Mr. Guo nodded and said, "It's just this wine... There are not many outside, I'm also thick with dough, so I snatched two jars to wait for distinguished guests. I've only opened the jars today..."

This wine was made by Huo Bao after Niu Qing was injured, which made Xue Biao fall in love with it and became exclusively for sale on "Xue Ji".

Because the food is expensive nowadays, there is no ban on wineries in the city, but they cannot be brewed at will, and they all have to be approved.

It is the "Xue Ji" winery, and it is no exception.

This "godian" with nine steamed and nine brewed wine is a priceless wine.

It is just a circle bigger than an adult fist, one pound per jar.

Feng Baiwan smiled and said, "Brother Guo is from Chuzhou and has a friendship with Taiwei Huo. I think Mr. Xue Qi will give Brother Guo some face."

Mr. Guo quickly waved his hand and said, "I dare not, I am just a chef, how dare I marry the Taiwei Mansion?"

Feng Baiwan shook his head and said, "Brother Guo is so polite... Who doesn't know that the Guo family is no longer the same as before. After changing the family, the old man is still modest... Not to mention that the two nephews are both civil and military, one is a county magistrate and the other is a deputy general. They all become talents, and they are grandchildren. There are also two people who are accompanying the Grand Prince, and their future is unlimited!"

After hearing this, everyone on the table looked at Mr. Guo.

No wonder Feng Baiwan treated him differently, he turned out to be a "upstart".

Not to mention that my son served as a civil and military position in the Chuzhou Army, my grandchildren would be so awesome.

Just a restaurant owner, how can the Taiwei Mansion treat each other so differently?

Mr. Guo became more and more alert and said, "The dog is just making up the numbers. How can he be the praise of President Feng? The Chuzhou Army is so rules. The gentry children in Chuzhou City either summoned to the military or took the civil servant exam... As for those two grandchildren, they can't be considered a companion. It was just that when the Taiwei first entered Chuzhou in June, the young master had no companionship. He found several local children as his companionship, and they were all sent in less than two months..."

Feng Baiwan was paying attention to the Guo family before, so he had inquired clearly. He knew that he had not lie, but he also said: "Even if it was two months, it would be a rare blessing. I heard that the child of the Yu family of Chaohu Navy is now around that young man... Yu Dutong is lucky and can marry the Taiwei Mansion!"

Others were so moved that they could not help but feel moved.

It seems that the children's entry into the Chuzhou Army as officials seems to be a good way out.

The Chuzhou Army's official test has been reported.

Not only the gentry pays attention, but also the merchants pay attention.

Children of merchants do not understand the Four Books and Five Classics, but they do not understand the numerology.

The Chuzhou Army officials' examination requires the students to register above the Confucian scholars, but the children of merchants can pass the pre-examination to obtain qualifications.

When the formal exam is held, the literature and art exams will be taken separately.

The ratio of Confucian scholars to children of merchants is 8 to 2.

The proportion seems to be low, but for the children of merchants, it is already a rare ladder to climb the clouds.

There is also the companion of the young master of the Taiwei.

It is also the way out for children and grandchildren.

But everyone knows that this way out is not something you can have if you want.

Especially before, twenty cannons were circulated in Yangzhou and bombed in Chushan, which was a big taboo.

Another deputy general led 20,000 soldiers to Taizhou, which also made the Chuzhou army doubt the position of Yangzhou.

Let’s look at the Chuzhou Army’s style earlier. Among the more than a dozen gentry and merchants in Chuzhou, four families were valued, namely the Song family of the gentry, the Wu family of the gentry, the Guo family of the merchant, and the Bao family of the doctor.

The Song family has Mr. Song Lin, and the Wu family was the descendant of the generals of the previous dynasty. He has a connection with Taiwei Huo. The Bao family has a skill. What does the Guo family have?

There is only one possibility, the Guo family donated the most money!

The Guo family also received generous rewards.

The third son is now the deputy general, the eldest son is the county magistrate, and his grandchildren are also beginning to emerge.

Everyone is not unhappy when they think about their future.

...

Mr. Guo toasted two rounds of wine, and a jar of "God-drunk" came to the bottom, so he avoided it because he couldn't bear to drink.

When he returned to the tea room, he was a little annoyed.

Since Feng Baiwan pushed him to the front stage, he thought he would not be able to get quiet for a while.

Those Yangzhou merchants were worried that they could not find a way in Jinling, knowing that the Guo family is now decent, isn’t it a waste of time to be a living?

Mr. Guo secretly grind his teeth, not being happy about everyone's closeness, but instead cursed in a low voice.

Others can’t find the way, but Feng Baiwan can’t find the way?

Although Monk Feng joined the Chuzhou Army late, he was not one of the few heroes, and his ranking was not low.

Feng Baiwan went far and went, but asked Mr. Guo to pass on a message to the Taiwei Mansion. He wanted to imitate the Guo family and was willing to donate silver to help the army to seek official positions for his children and grandchildren. He also wanted to marry the Taiwei Mansion like the Yu family.

Mr. Guo was so angry that he did not dare to delay major issues and went to the Taiwei Mansion himself.

Not only was he afraid that his son would not understand the message, but he also did this on purpose.

Since Feng Baiwan pointed out the Guo family, if the Guo family does not show their strength, they may be jealous and bullied.

...

The tea room of the Taiwei Mansion.

Monk Feng had already left, Xue Biao pulled the leader of the Ma village and Du Laoba came to find Huo Wu, first talking about the banner of the Chuzhou army.

"Fifth Brother, our territory is so big, we can't be called the Chuzhou Army. It sounds not so arrogant!" Xue Biao said no.

Huo Wu said curiously: "Why did you think of mentioning this? It's not called Chuzhou Army, what's the name? It's like Xiaobao's side, and each department has its name?"

Xue Biao shook his head and said, "No, bad! It's a mess! You can't just remember the Chuzhou army, but also remember the fifth brother. He asked me to tell me that our military flag will be written in the word "Huo" in the future, so that the soldiers will know whose job they are holding!"

Huo Wu looked at Xue Biao, saw that his face was flushed and smelled of alcohol on his body, and looked at the leader of the village: "What's wrong with Lao Qi? If you drink too much, what are you talking nonsense?"

"Fifth Brother!"

Xue Biao bulged his cheeks and was unhappy.

The leader of the village rolled his eyes and said, "What else can you do? I heard that Xiaobao has recruited more than 100,000 new recruits, and I am afraid that the fifth brother will give up once he lets go!"

Xue Biao snorted: "If you are assigned to the Sixth Brother and the Eighth Brother, you won't be afraid of anything, but don't be too real when dealing with others!"

Xue Biao was not just drunk and crazy, but saw that he had brought his brother Ma Village Master and Du Laoba to the second line. Huo Wu was increasingly using Deng Jian, Monk Feng and others, and he felt uneasy.

Huo Wu is the leader, and he is the fourth leader, sits down.

If the Chuzhou Army changed its head, who would know who Xue Qi was?

Why can't the Hangzhou suppression army do its best?

The emperor temporarily transferred the main general, not only because he did not want the descendants to make contributions, but also because he wanted to replace him with the deputy general. He had many slander in the court's memorials.
