In the afternoon, Tan Zong brought the supplements and went to Piaoxiangyuan to visit Manluo. On the way, he looked through Bi Xizhi's little jade Buddha in the sedan chair and found a small "phoenix" engraved on the back of the jade Buddha.

Looking at the word "phoenix", Tan Zong remembered what Fatty Wang said to him. When Aunt Mei was young, she had the reputation of "Jiangnan Fire Phoenix". "Phoenix" is very likely to refer to Aunt Mei.[]

It is true that one has the same father as one, one has the same son. I remember that Bi Shijie had an unforgettable relationship with Aunt Mei, and now Bi Xi is in love with Ruixue again. The father and son are really a couple.

Because the small courtyard where I lived before was dead, Manluo changed to an elegant and exquisite courtyard. When Tan Zong walked into the courtyard, Manluo was playing Go with Green Willow under the pavilion.

"Young Master Huang." Lu Liu looked up and saw Tan Zong entering the yard, and stood up in surprise.

Manluo turned around and looked at it, then stood up, led the green willow to meet him, and put it on Tan Zongfu, "Young Master Huang is here, and the humble house is full of glory."

"Are you better?" Tan Zong nodded at Manluo and Lu Liu and asked with a smile.

"Thank you, young master, for your concern, Manluo has recovered." Manluo turned sideways and made a gesture to Tan Zongxiang's house, "Young master, please have tea inside."

"The weather is good today. I think it's good in this pavilion. Take the things in." Tan Zong glanced at the pavilion, gave instructions to the person carrying large and small bags of supplements behind him, and then walked towards the pavilion.

Manluo and Luliu hurriedly followed Tan Zong, and a maid led the person carrying the supplements into the house.

After entering the pavilion, Tan Zong saw a Go board on the stone table in the middle, and the white pieces and black pieces on it were tangled into a ball, and it seemed that the battle was in full swing.

"Young master, how about the game in one game?" Manluo brought Tan Zong a cup of tea and said with a smile.

As a popular girl in brothel, in order to vass the literati, poets and powerful gentry, this chess, calligraphy and painting is absolutely indispensable. The "chess" in chess, calligraphy and painting refers to Go. After professional training,

Tan Zong played chess on a computer later generations. Although his skills were not very good, he could at least pretend to be fooling people. As for this Go, his understanding of it was limited to Goji's level, and he was completely a layman.

"Since the two girls are playing, I won't do that thing that will ruin people's interest." Tan Zong smiled slightly, found a reason to shirk it off, then took out a small brocade box from his body and placed it on the table, "This is a small lottery. If any girl wins, this lottery will be hers."

Manluo picked up the brocade box and opened it. It was a crystal clear ruby ​​inside, the size of a pigeon egg, which looked very valuable.

"Young Master, this lottery ticket is too expensive. Should I change it?" Manluo knew that the ruby ​​of this type of quality was worth at least 200 taels of silver. After she gave the brocade box to Green Willow, she looked at Tan Zong with a smile.

"Just be happy, just be happy." Tan Zong smiled disconcerted and sat down on the stone bench next to the stone table, while drinking tea, waiting for the two of them to continue playing chess.

Manluo and Lu Liu looked at each other, sat down in their respective seats, and devoted themselves to the game. Their chess skills seemed to be equal, and they were hard to solve for a moment.

Although Tan Zong's eyes fell on the chessboard, he was thinking about how to deal with Aunt Mei later. In any case, he must take Aunt Mei down and unlock the deadlock he is currently facing.

"I lost." Just as Tan Zongshen was wandering outside the sky, Manluo suddenly let out a sigh and said with a smile.

Tan Zong looked closely and saw that the black pieces and white pieces on the chessboard were densely entangled, forming a black and white pattern. At first glance, it looked like two dragons intersecting each other.

"It's my sister who was careless." Lu Liu smiled at Manluo, with a look of gratitude in her eyes. Although Tan Zong may not know, she had been with Manluo for so long, so she naturally knew that she was not Manluo's opponent, but that Manluo deliberately gave her to her in order to help her get the ruby.

"Miss Green Willow, this is yours." Tan Zong smiled slightly and pushed the small brocade box in front of Green Willow.

"Lu Liu, thank you young master." Lu Liu took out the ruby ​​and looked at Tan Zong with a clever smile, "Young Master said, where is the most suitable decoration?"

"Let's be a necklace, it should be good if it's a pendant." Tan Zong thought for a while and said with a smile, "If the girl gives her a song, she can make it into a necklace for her."

"Then I'll be a hard-working young man." Lu Liu giggled when she heard this. Actually, she was not focusing on rubies, but establishing a good relationship with Tan Zong through rubies.

The musicians then rushed over with musical instruments. In the beautiful musical sound, they were like a beautiful butterfly, and the green willows danced in the pavilion. Tan Zong smiled and admired her dancing skills.

"I'm telling me why I heard the magpies screaming on the branches just now? It turned out that Mr. Huang is here." After the green willow dance, just as Tan Zong was applauding, Aunt Mei walked into the yard with a smile.

"Boss Mei, I have a reluctant request. I hope Boss Mei will agree." Tan Zong stood up with a smile and arched his hand at Aunt Mei.

"Young Master, it's okay." Aunt Mei looked at Tan Zong with some surprise. She couldn't think of anything Tan Zong had to bother her.

"Tomorrow night, Lord Lu invites me to go to the family dinner. I have no wife yet. I hope Boss Mei will be proud and let Miss Manluo go with me." Tan Zong smiled slightly and said.

When Manluo heard this, she was stunned for a moment. Attending the prefect's family banquet was a great honor. She couldn't help but look at Lu Liu, and saw a gloomy look on Lu Liu's face.

"I thought it was a difficult thing. It turned out to be a family dinner for Lord Lu. This was a great thing. Of course I agreed. It was her honor for Manluo to be lucky enough to accompany the young master. I was just so eager." Manluo felt unbearable when she saw this. She was about to refuse on the grounds of physical inconvenience and gave the opportunity to Lu Liu. Aunt Mei had already agreed with a smile.

When Manluo heard this, she had to swallow the words that came to her mouth and smiled at Lu Liu helplessly. Since Aunt Mei asked her to go, there must be Aunt Mei's plan.

"Tomorrow night, I'll be here to go downstairs." Seeing Aunt Mei agreeing, Tan Zong turned around and said to Manluo with a smile.

"Men Lou Xie, Mr. Man Lou smiled and put it on Tan Zongfu.

In the evening, Tan Zong stayed in Piaoxiangyuan. He called Fatty Wang and Gu Tianyi, and the three of them drank and had fun together. Manluo and Luliu sat with him. The two sang and danced, and performed a wonderful performance.

Since the fire broke out between the City Defense Forces and the Salt Tax Department in Piaoxiangyuan, the business has become extremely bleak. Except for Bi Dongcheng who always supported the market, almost everyone else chose to retreat, fearing that it would be bad luck.

If Tan Zong could come to Piaoxiangyuan as often as Bi Dongcheng, then under the influence of him and Bi Dongcheng, the two masters, at least the grain merchants and salt merchants would choose to have fun here and then lead other people. In this way, Piaoxiangyuan should be able to recover soon.

"Brother Huang, I, Gu Tianyi, will follow you in the future. Wherever you point, I will follow you to fight." After three rounds of wine, Gu Tianyi, who was already a little drunk, picked up a glass of wine and said to Tan Zong with a smile.

Gu Tianyi has been proud these days. Not only did his colleagues flatter him, but he expressed his intention to be close to him. Even some officials and merchants from Suzhou Prefecture visited him with gifts, enthusiastically covering him, making his home crowded and lively.

In the "Hou Dehai" incident, Gu Tianyi's contributions were clearly placed there, and no one could erase them, nor dared to erase them. The dignitaries and nobles in Suzhou Prefecture knew that he had made great contributions this time and would definitely make a fortune, especially because he was Tan Zong's person. Many people wanted to use him to catch the line of Tan Zong, and if there was anything in the future, they could have a help.

Gu Tianyi enjoyed this situation of being surrounded by stars and holding the moon. Looking at the guys who could only look up at him before, flattering himself with a smile on his face, it felt so wonderful.

Gu Tianyi knew very well that everything he had given to him today was given by Tan Zong, so he had made up his mind to hold Tan Zong's thick legs firmly in the future. His glory and wealth depended on Tan Zong's wealth.

Tonight, Gu Tianyi originally had a drink party in Yihonglou, but when Tan Zong sent someone to call him, he came without saying a word. At the same time, someone told the person who set up a drink party in Yihonglou that he said that Tan Zong invited him to drink. He was really sorry and could not come to the bureau.

Therefore, in front of Fatty Wang, Gu Tianyi did not mind sincerely serving Tan Zongbiao, knowing that others do not have the opportunity to be loyal to him.

"Brother Gu is so serious." Tan Zong smiled and raised his glass to touch Gu Tianyi, "If you need help in the future, I will do your best."

After saying that, Tan Zong raised his head and drank all the wine in his glass.

"With Brother Huang's words, Gu will be relieved!" Gu Tianyi looked happy when he heard this. Although Tan Zong did not say it clearly, he had already expressed his intention to accept him as his younger brother. So he drank the wine glass in his hand and said to Tan Zong with some excitement.

"Gu Guiss, I wish you a prosperous future." Seeing this, Fatty Wang smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand to Gu Tianyi.

He is different from Gu Tianyi and represents the interests of a certain force in the capital. Therefore, although he has maintained a good relationship with Tan Zong, he also maintains a certain distance. Unlike Gu Tianyi, he has no relationship with all the forces in the capital, so he can express the meaning of surrender so explicitly.

"Thank you, Boss Wang, Ji Yan, I wish Boss Wang a prosperous business and a prosperous fortune." Gu Tianyi laughed when he heard this, touched the wine glass with Fatty Wang, and the two of them drank it all in one go.

At midnight, Fatty Wang and Gu Tianyi went to rest with a beautiful woman. They drank a lot of wine and walked shakingly.

Tan Zong also drank a little high, not only vomited a lot, but also had a little fluttering legs when walking. According to normal circumstances, he did not stay overnight outside. However, because he was drinking too much this time, he stayed overnight in Piaoxiangyuan and was supported by Zheng Hu and a big man into Manluo's boudoir.

Lu Liu did not follow him and returned to his room with a sad look on his face. Manluo was the top player in Piaoxiangyuan, so Tan Zong naturally had to stay at Manluo.

"I can go by myself." After entering Manluo's boudoir, Tan Zong pushed Zheng Hu and the big man away, walked staggeringly to the table, sat on a stool, reached out to pick up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea. After smiling, he said to Manluo who followed in, "I'm sorry, I'll show off tonight."

"Young Master, go to bed and rest." Manluo smiled slightly, got up and walked to Tan Zong, and said softly.

"Okay!" Tan Zong burped, stood up, and staggered towards the bed.

As he walked, Tan Zong's feet suddenly became soft and his body fell down like noodles. Man Luo, who was standing behind him, quickly reached out to help him.

Tan Zong subconsciously hugged her in his arms and hugged her tightly, causing Manluo's body to tremble slightly, and a strange warm current rose in his heart.

If Manluo hadn't stepped forward in time, Tan Zong would have fallen to the ground. Zheng Hu hurriedly brought people over and mixed Tan Zong to the edge of the bed. Tan Zong fell down and lay on the bed with his back.

"Get water." Manluo came to his senses and greeted the maids beside him. The maids immediately brought clear water.

Manluo first wiped Tan Zong's face with a wet towel, then washed his feet personally, and then gave Tan Zong a wide dress, the little jade Buddha fell out of Tan Zong's clothes and fell on the bed.

"I heard that the girl is proficient in painting, but I don't know if she can draw it on paper." Seeing this, Tan Zong picked up the little jade Buddha, smiled and handed it to Man Luo's hand.

"Which temple is my request, I will ask for one tomorrow." Manluo looked through the little jade Buddha and asked with a smile.

"I'm not asking for it, but I came out of a stinky brat who doesn't know how high the sky is. If I don't give him some color, he would think I'm going to bully me." Tan Zong smiled slightly, shook his finger at Manluo, then fell on the bed, put his left arm on his forehead, and slept soundly.

Shun means "steal", commonly known as "steal". Man Luo smiled and shook her head. I don't know which playboy from a family was not open and even provoked Tan Zong.

After Manluo covered Tan Zong with a blanket, he got up and walked to the table, asking the maids to bring pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and prepared to draw the little jade Buddha on the paper.

"Girl, I'm in the yard. If there is anything, I'll shout." Zheng Hu bowed to Manluo, led the men out, and guarded the yard.

"Young Master Huang fell asleep?" Not long after, just as Manluo was carefully painting the little jade Buddha, Aunt Mei pushed the door and walked in, looked at Tan Zong who was sleeping soundly on the bed, walked to Manluo and asked quietly.

"Just just sleeping." Manluo raised her head and smiled at Aunt Mei, "Young Master Huang and Boss Wang and Counselor Gu drank a lot of wine in the evening, and almost fell down just now."
