The Dan Tai family, one of the four major families of the Ganyuan Empire, is ranked alongside the Xiao family, Mu family, and Cang family. The Dan Tai family is the largest financial giant in the Ganyuan Empire. It has wealth that is as rich as a country and also controls the economic lifeline of the entire empire.

Since its establishment, the Dan Tai family has not allowed their clan members to enter the official career path, and everyone is diligently exploring their own business empire. But unfortunately, the one who will be engaged to the future head of the Dan Tai family tonight is Li Zhaiwen, the pearl in the palm of the imperial general Li Danghua.

It is still unknown whether the Dan Tai family wants to use the Li family as a springboard to enter the officialdom, but this engagement banquet not only attracted the attention of business celebrities, but also attracted the attention of many dignitaries.

At six o'clock in the evening, Mu Fan came to the Dantai house alone, and Mu Xue was arranged by him to make some preparations. When Mu Fan was young, he had a lot of contact with the two brothers of the Dantai family, so he did not need to hand over the invitation to the main entrance like other guests, but went directly from the back door to the dressing room dedicated to Dantai Mingshu.

Mu Fan opened the door of the dressing room and happened to see Dan Tai Mingshu standing by the door to explain to his servants. Dan Tai Mingshu was four years older than Mu Fan and was a senior who had a good relationship with Mu Fan when he was at the Royal Academy. So Dan Tai Mingshu was also happy to see Mu Fan, so he hugged Mu Fan.

"Congratulations, Brother Mingshu, the five-year long-distance love run is finally coming to fruition. This is my little intention."

"Hey, why are you and I talking about money?" Dan Tai Mingshu pushed back the red envelope handed over by Mu Fan, "Take it back, take it back."

"It's OK, it's OK. I just happened to ask you about something, Brother Mingshu."

"Okay, then you ask." Dan Tai Mingshu still accepted the red envelope, "I'll give you a double letter when you get engaged."

Mu Fan laughed happily: "Why is Sister Zhaiwen not here?"

"Is it important that she is putting on makeup and trial dressing in the next room?"

Mu Fan and Dan Tai Mingshu found a place to sit down, and then Mu Fan asked, "It's just strange that Brother Mingshu said that the wedding date would be postponed for two years, so why did he suddenly come to this year earlier?"

"It's not that the nobles bully too much." Dan Tai Mingshu was so angry that he didn't hide it in front of his friends. "They had no choice but to steal money from the merchants. His father was afraid that the nobles would attack our family, so he wanted to find a backer as soon as possible."

Mu Fan shook his head: "Even if you become in-laws with the Li family, the nobles will still do it when they should."

"It's better to have it than not." Dan Tai Mingshu wanted to light a cigarette, but he still held it back. "I thought we were just in a simple relationship, but I didn't expect it to be a marriage in the end."

"You at least have a companion, and I haven't settled yet."

"Hahaha, when Xiwu's junior sister was always yelling that she would not marry you. I think Feng Sect can't stop you two."

"Speaking of this, I probably have to slow down the issue of the Dan Tai family entering the officialdom."

Dan Tai Mingshu also knew that he couldn't be anxious about this kind of thing: "Is it because of Mu Zhengsi?"

"Not only, I'm afraid there will be no peace in any place this year."

“…”

The two of them chatted for more than ten minutes, and Mu Fan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is Ziyu here today?"

"I guess in the room, my father would not allow Ziyu to attend to the dinner."

Dan Tai Ziyu is the younger brother of Dan Tai Mingshu, two years younger than Mu Fan. He cannot have an engagement banquet from his brother, definitely not because he has a bad relationship with his father, but because the mall has been divided into black and white markets since ancient times.

If Dan Tai Mingshu is the most dazzling rising star in the white market of the Ganyuan Empire, then Dan Tai Ziyu is the most mysterious supernova in the black market of the Ganyuan Empire.

Since its establishment, the Dan Tai family has been cleared from the black market, so Dan Tai Ziyu's identity is the highest secret even in his own family, and only a few people know it.

Mu Fan often went to Dan Tai Ziyu to play when he was young, so most of the servants in the family knew Mu Fan.

Therefore, Mu Fan found Dan Tai Ziyu's house with ease. When he was about to knock on the door, he heard a female babbling sound from the door. Mu Fan shook his head and still knocked on Dan Tai Ziyu's door.

"Who, I'll go, it hurts."

"I, Mu Fan."

"Mu...Mu Fan. Day, don't stick to me, lie down here and wait for me to come back."

After a while, Dan Tai Ziyu's door opened, and he walked out with a lewd smile on his face and closed the door.

Mu Fan was leaning against the pillar outside the door and looked at the disheveled Dan Tai Ziyu and said helplessly: "Why do you always encounter me whenever you do such a thing?"

"How could I know." Dan Tai Ziyu lit his pipe casually, "Do you want to buy intelligence or weapons this time?"

"Buy a new simple spiritual gathering array."

“Didn’t you just bought it last month?”

"I didn't find it in the cabinet today. I guess it was secretly sold by the old man a few days ago."

"Hahaha, forgive me for laughing shamelessly." As he said that, Dan Tai Ziyu flipped through his pocket, took out a booklet and flipped through a few pages, "It's true that there is still there. A mysterious seller went to the underground market to auction a string of necklaces, and was stopped by my people. The necklaces can achieve the effect of the spirit gathering array as long as the source power is injected into it, allowing you to practice at any time."

"I only have 100,000 source stones."

"Then you should buy the simple spirit gathering array."

"I owe it first."

"Brother, you haven't even paid the final payment for the last batch of goods."

"I helped you get your brother and sister Zhaiwen together, and the previous money has been cleared."

"You are so embarrassed to mention this matter, did you instigate the nobles to rob the chamber of commerce?"

Thinking of this, Mu Fan smiled and didn't respond: "What about the things you asked you to prepare?"

Dan Tai Ziyu also knew Mu Fan’s thoughts. He took out a small box from his arms: “This thing took a lot of effort, what are you going to use for?”

Mu Fan took Dan Tai Ziyu's box and confirmed: "You will know when you go to the same place with me tonight. By the way, help me prepare some more weapons."

"Weapon? It's simple. If you want me to beat you up, just say it. You don't have to spend money."

"It's not to beat anyone." Mu Fan sighed and shook his head, "I just prepared in advance. I haven't had peace recently, so I have to buy something to defend myself."

"Recently my laboratory developed a new set of equipment, which can be used after the test stage. I can lend it to you in advance."

"How long will it take?"

“At least one week.”

"I'll come to your place to pick up the goods the day after tomorrow." After saying this, Mu Fan turned around and left.

"I'll go, how can you do this? Hello!" But at this time Mu Fan walked away without looking back.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The Dan Tai family held an engagement banquet in their own home. This pavilion has three floors, which are specially used for banquets, but only the first floor is used to hold dinners tonight.

The first floor is nearly 400 square meters full of small round tables, and the round tables are filled with snacks that no one goes to eat. For those officials and merchants who are busy with socializing, as long as they can promote a cooperation tonight, this trip will not be in vain.

The round table surrounds an area in the middle of the banquet hall, which is a place to be used for ballroom dance for guests in a while.

There is also a band next to the wall behind the dance floor. The music camp composed of instruments such as guzheng, guqin, chimes and other instruments is creating an atmosphere suitable for chattering.

But in a corner of the banquet hall, I didn't see any acquaintance, Mu Feng, the second son of the Mu family, was sitting at the table with a depressed look on his face, and complaining:

"Brother Stinky, I agreed to attend the dinner together, and I haven't seen anyone yet, hum."

"What are you thinking about?"

Mu Feng's head was suddenly knocked. He turned around and saw that the person was his brother Mu Fan. But Mu Feng, who was angry, did not give Mu Fan a good look, pouted and said:

"Why are you always so late?"

"Something was delayed on the road." Mu Fan also sat down on the chair.

But before the two of them had a few words, a sarcastic voice from a woman came from beside her: "Oh, this is not President Mu, it's not easy to meet you."

The person who came was the daughter of the Yan family, and the wife of the national player Nie Qiuyi, Yan Ke and Mrs. Yan. She sat next to Mu Fan and put on an expression of "You want to give me an explanation."

"Where is it? I want to buy some gifts for my sister, so I came a little late."

As he said that, Mu Fan took out the small box that Dan Tai Ziyu gave him and handed it to Mrs. Yan. Yan Ke opened the box and saw that it turned out to be a piece of dark yellow amber with half a fist. In the center of the amber, there was a small white dot that was not easy to detect.

"Your gift is too expensive, I can't afford it." Yan Ke's face was heavy, and he couldn't guess what Mu Fan meant.

Mu Fan pushed the box that Yan Ke pushed back: "Today my cousin caused a lot of trouble to Lord Nie, which is my apology."

Yan Ke looked at Mu Fan with a suspicious look, but she couldn't stop the temptation of the pearls and gems, but she still took the box: "Then I'll keep it for my husband..."

It happened that the music played by the band at this time became a relatively light music. According to the customs of the Qianyuan Empire, the people attending the banquet needed to dance a ballroom dance in pairs on the dance floor in pairs to welcome today's new couples.

Mu Fan invited Mrs. Yan to dance together very gentlemanly, leaving Mu Feng alone. Mu Fan even said to Mu Feng: "If you have enough fun, go back quickly." It is really something that only brothers can do.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of being alone in the audience in the end, Mu Feng looked around and wanted to find a dance partner. His eyes passed through the crowd and saw the girl at a glance, and the girl also looked at Mu Feng.

The girl's name is Xiao Ya, one year younger than Mu Feng. Tonight, she was wearing a purple gauze dress with peonies engraved on the collar of the gauze dress and red lotus embroidered on her chest; a hairpin of beads and flowers was worn on her black shawl, and her gem-like eyes were shining, which made people's hearts look; her slightly tender face was slightly decorated. For Mu Feng, this might be a fairy.
