Chapter 253: Stealing Relatives (Part 2)

The capital of Jizhou, Yecheng. This is one of the most powerful cities in the Han Dynasty. It stretches for hundreds or thousands of miles. The city is full of traffic and people are crowded with people. The crowds entering and leaving can squeeze out four city gates. The shops, shops, tea shops, medicine shops, and grocery shops in the city are covered with rows and different decorations. Various types of merchants, hawkers, civilians, and wanderers hawking, shouting, and walking like thunder. This prosperous trade atmosphere appears on the faces of every household. Yecheng is worthy of being called the northern business capital, and is known as the five major commercial areas of the Han Dynasty, along with Xuzhou Xiapi, Jiangnan Jianye, Sili Luoyang, and Yizhou Chengdu.

And every important commercial area has an invisible sky, and the sky in Yecheng is the Zhen family.

The Zhen family is engaged in business. Under the influence of Confucianism, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are probably the lowest level. However, no one dares to deny that when the height of business has surpassed everything, business is no longer business, but is tied to supreme power and status. The Zhen family's wealth is really a lot, and even the contemporary head of the Zhen family, Zhen Yi, has only a roughly vague impression, because the Zhen family's business names all over the country, the things that can be called fixed assets, and the amazing benefits they can generate as long as they operate one more day, all indicate the endless growth of the Zhen family's wealth.

When the invisible heaven in Yecheng, the news that the old man of the Zhen family held the 70th birthday was spread, almost the whole city of Yecheng was in full swing, because the old man of the Zhen family can be said to be the wisest pioneer of the Zhen family today. Countless people want to pay attention to his appearance, and countless people want to take advantage of the old man's birthday to board the Zhen family and board the huge ship that is as stable as Mount Tai. Even in Jizhou, there was news that the old man of the Zhen family held the birthday, which shows how terrifying the influence of the Zhen family has reached in Jizhou.

On August 12, the second year of Zhongping, the weather was sunny and there was wind.

In the center of Yecheng, less than a street from the prefect of Jizhou, a huge manor stood quietly, and at first glance, it was boundless. The tall walls were comparable to the city walls, and the crowds entering and leaving and watching could already have a riot of ten thousand people. The clever vendors set up various stalls outside the manor, and all kinds of fancy gambling games were also varied. The shouts of buying big and buying small and buying hands shook the sky, making the already lively atmosphere push to the top.

Lu Bu walked boredly in the courtyard of Zhen Family Manor. He touched the bamboo in the bamboo forest, observed the willow branches on the willow trees, and then looked at the century-old ginkgo trees in the backyard. The little maid from Zhen Family who accompanied him was red, and could not conceal her sincere look at the earthen buns.

"My grandpa, the birthday party tonight is about to begin. Are you not preparing for it?" she said.

"The Zhen family is really rich, but one day, I will be even richer than them!" Lu Bu withdrew his gaze and immediately changed into an indifferent look. It seemed that the Zhen family, which was high in the eyes of civilians, was just like this.

"The birthday party is about to begin! Your lady is dressing up, so I am not idle either. In this way, you can go out and buy a birthday gift!" Lu Bu said lightly.

Don't you want to be idle? Buy a gift? The oval maid little rooster rolled her eyes. You did nothing during the day all day today. You were wandering around and you were almost able to walk your birds. I didn't see you in a hurry to buy gifts, but it was almost time for the birthday party to remember to buy gifts. Can you buy any good gifts? It's not that the street stalls just bought something to make up for the numbers. I don't know where this person is good, so I asked the lady to take special care of him!

"Let's go, come with me, Xiaozhu, you have a share too!" Lu Bu pulled Xiaozhu and walked out of the manor.

There were crowds of people outside, and the vendors were laughing from ear to ear. The little whispered face looked cute and puzzled, and was also curious about what gifts Lu Bu would buy to celebrate his birthday. The two of them looked left and right and were having a great time.

After a while, Lu Bu led the little tug to stay in front of a small stall, then waved his hand and said: That's it, it's simply a masterpiece of God! Merchants, this big one is wrapped in a gift box, and the little one is given to this girl directly.

"Okay, it's five jin of money in total." The vendor weighed it and said with a smile.

"Well, I'll give you it! There's no need to make change." Lu Bu threw out six guan of money casually, then grabbed the crawling little thing in the trumpet and handed it to the little whisper.

The little whip's bright eyes were wider than cat's eye, and his mouth was so surprised that he could stuff two goose eggs into it.

"You, you, you are not going to take this gift, right?" she said tremblingly.

"Yes, what a perfect birthday gift, it's simply a masterpiece of God. It's all!" Lu Bu looked satisfied.

The confused little goblet was pulled away by Lu Bu. She felt dizzy and was so surprised that she felt that she was in a bad mood.

Behind him, the vendor muttered in confusion: The birthday gift is not a birthday gift for the old master of the Zhen family, right? It must not be, otherwise wouldn’t this person be crazy? But if it is true, wouldn’t that mean that the things I sell are going to make a fortune!

…………

The gongs and drums were loud, and the firecrackers did not ring together. With the loud welcome of the host, the Zhen Mansion birthday banquet began. The guests arrived one after another, carrying carefully prepared gifts. Officials, merchants, and military, almost every person who arrived was a big boss. At least the county magistrate, the Shang family was at least one or two levels, and the army was at least one or two levels above the lieutenant. The reason for this is that, according to some exact news, tonight was not only the birthday party of the old master of the Zhen family, but also the engagement day of Zhen Jianger, the third eldest daughter of the Zhen family. The Zhen family wanted to take advantage of the birthday party to select a wishful husband for Zhen Jianger.

These people from all walks of life with great status led a junior's anxious face that was redder than a monkey's butt.

Zhen Jianger, the daughter of Zhen’s family, is talented and beautiful, gentle and quiet, and is known as the number one bell in Jizhou. I don’t know how many pretentious young heroes, and the talented young masters want to repay the beauty. What’s more, marry Zhen Jianger, not only can you get beauty, but also the support of countless wealth in the Zhen family!

But no one knew at this time that Zhen Jianger, who was flocking to countless young talents, was trying on gorgeous and prosperous clothes with a frown on her face, secretly worried about the upcoming birthday ceremony. When she grew up in a big family, she knew since she was a child that her fate was not allowed to be decided by herself. For the benefit of the Zhen family, when she grew up, she would be treated as a bond of marriage by the Zhen family to promote the sailing of the Zhen family.

She suddenly felt a little regretful and confused. She met Lu Bu for the first time and was only concerned about fighting. She forgot to ask about Lu Bu’s origin. If Lu Lang had a humble background and was just a wanderer who likes to travel, could he take him away? Can he be accepted by the Zhen family? If he insisted on taking him away and the Zhen family intercepted him, he would have no power or power, so would he put him in a dangerous place?

With the thoughts of girls who can only swallow bitterness by themselves, she quietly waits for the judgment of fate!
