At the end of June, several rains continued, and the annual Lotus Watch Festival was also in ruins.

The Tang family simply changed the banquet to early July. The girls also had summer vacation and were calm in time.

There were no wide posts at this banquet. The range of guests was very small, but it was a real banquet for old merchants. Those who came to celebrate Mr. Tang's appointment as the "jewellery manufacturer" were all people of the same age as him, and the family business he was hosting is still standing firm today.

In other words, these families have been glorious for at least fifty years.

Once you have been rich for three generations, your behavior is far different from those of those newly rich families. You can more or less always be polished into a noble flavor by time.

Therefore, at today's banquet, we can't see too bright and beautiful dresses and bling jewelry. Many of the family members wear old banquet clothes. It is not easy for those wives to be too exaggerated, so they can only secretly take the low-key and luxurious route.

The banquet format is very traditional. The old men gathered in Ruiyang Hall, the old ladies gathered in Ruiyun Hall, and the grandchildren also stayed in the elders and listened to the teachings respectfully. They were full of hearts and knew how to learn skills by observing words and expressions.

Today's theme is not a flower banquet, and young people can't even think about it too much - such a once-in-a-lifetime moment, it's just once in a few decades. It's just a matter of time. It's the only one in Kyoto's merchant family that can bring together the Tang family and even the founders, except for the Tang family, is the only one in the Jin family.

Xiaoxiao has gained some knowledge. In the past, I thought that merchants only recognized their business and family background. Today I realized that merchants are also divided into classes.

I'm afraid that only when you come to the Yuanlong Dynasty can you understand this kind of experience. Xiaoxiao felt the paleness of later generations for the first time.

Although the country was already prosperous before the Yuanlong Dynasty, because it had been a period of time in the past few decades, those rich people who grasped the lifeblood of the economy could not be rich for three generations even if they had the wealth that was soaring to the sky. The years were in charge. The spring breeze of reform and opening up had only been blowing for many years, and no one could break out of this circle.

Therefore, what Xiaoxiao learned in modern times is only the "rich second generation", and the so-called rich third generation, four generations, and five generations, are exclusively owned by veteran European capitalists.

The younger generation who came to the Tang family today was at least rich enough for three generations. Xiaoxiao stood among his sisters and looked at these people, and found that most of them didn't recognize them, and she was a little confused.

For example, I can't see the people of the Wen family. Although the Wen family is a spice family run by their ancestors, it cannot be counted since Uncle Wen's generation moved from Yunnan to Kyoto. This cannot be counted; I can't see the Shen family, which is now dominating the shopping mall. After all, the Shen family has developed from Shen Yingbai. In the eyes of these tycoons today, they can only be considered as juniors who can make money. As for the Ruicai family and Nijie family, which have only established themselves in Kyoto in recent years, they cannot be ranked...

"With this sense of identity, it is easier to get close to you." Huanyan said this, with a clear attitude of bystanders.

The marriage between Huanyan and Young Master Weng has been decided and they will get married at the end of the year, so at this time, there is more calmness.

In fact, the person who knows the most about the current affairs among the sisters is Huanyan. Unfortunately, he met the evil star in his best years. In front of him, all fame, fortune and money were zero. He just wanted to go through fire and water with him, and he was willing to do whatever he wanted.

However, ability is ability, and things that have been honed since childhood cannot be thrown away. Therefore, Huanyan has a lot of research on these guests today.

"The ancestors of the Bai family had two Jinshi, and they were engaged in pen, ink, paper, ink, ink, antiques and cultural relics in business. They belonged to the Qingliu family in the business world. The Meng family was different. Their great-grandfather started a casino. Although they gradually established other businesses, they could not get rid of the bandit spirit on their bodies. Look at the Mengqian and look at that look, they could coax the girls from those small businesses..." Huanyan said these things as if they were aware of, and the rare sisters were willing to listen.

In Shu Yan's eyes, these people are the best writing materials, both rich and violent. If you add a few love stories, you can publish a bestseller in a blink of an eye;

Zhan Yan was a little unwilling to accept it, but his sister had already made such a bad start, so she had to care about it even if she didn't care about it. As for Jin Zhonglun, let's treat him as a dream first;

Xiaoxiao was still wandering outside the gate of the old merchant class in a daze, and today I would like to see it more often;

Yanran is the most concerned among the sisters. She even made a list of the people she thought of half a month ago. Who is the first choice and who is the reserve? After careful consideration, I feel a little more confident when I listen to my second sister's words;

Smiling is heartless, but she also knows who is the strongest and who is going downhill. She knows more about it and talks with her classmates in the future;

I was very happy but I didn't understand it, but I listened quietly from the side.

The sisters were sitting in the small flower hall at this moment. As the girls from other families walked in one after another, Huanyan gradually stopped talking, with a just right smile on her face, and she brought her sisters forward to welcome the guests.

Xiaoxiao finally saw a familiar face, who was the eldest daughter of the Lu family, whose boudoir was named Juanjing, who was the senior sister who opened a clinic in Dawangzhuang.

Just now, Huanyan mentioned the Lu family, which was built by medical skills. It opened the largest clinic in Kyoto, and several imperial doctors also appeared in the family.

This senior sister Juanjing is a little talkative, and the other girls don’t talk much. I don’t know if they really don’t like to talk or are holding airs. They can only gather together in groups of three or three to chat softly, talking about the weather, business, or even talking about chess. Anyway, they can’t hear gossip rumors at ordinary banquets from them.

Everyone is quiet and adaptable, saving trouble.

"Compared with others, we are all vulgar." Smile ate a melon seed.

"Who doesn't know who, everyone is holding it, for fear of being ridiculed." Yanran glanced at the dress of these girls and knew that everyone was scheming.

Today's banquet only invited a few old men and ladies. I don't know who proposed to take grandchildren out to open their horizons, which led to today's grand occasion.

Therefore, among young people today, there are far more men than women. Taking grandchildren out means learning skills from old seniors. Taking grandchildren out is a little impure in their purpose, but the old ladies are all secretly ventilated. I will take care of grandchildren as well. You can’t afford the girls in the Tang family for nothing. So many shopping mall elites are allowed to choose from.

Therefore, these girls who are not reserved must also pretend to be reserved and elegant, as if they were forcibly pulled by their elders, with a distant and polite smile on their faces. They must not be in front of others and have a pity to hate marriage.

Suddenly, there was a burst of unscrupulous laughter from girls outside the flower hall. The girls in the hall covered their lower half of their faces with fans and flew out of the window.

Xiaoxiao was just thinking that the laughter was very familiar, and suddenly the owner who heard the laughter shouted: "Stop teasing, who are you? Meng Qi'er? I don't know you!"

This arrogant, octave-high voice, who else could it be if it weren't for Dan Tai Furong?

That's right, the Dan Tai family is also a veteran businessman, so naturally it is among the guests.

Unexpectedly, the Dan Tai family released Furong out like this. It can be seen that they were still unwilling to accept it. They hoped that their daughter could recognize her true destiny at today's banquet. From now on, Ning was a passerby.

I don’t know what Meng Qi said to Furong again, which made her laugh again: “I don’t like to eat candy! There are many girls sitting in the flower hall, all of whom are big families. If you have the ability, you can grab a handful of everyone!”

Some girls in the flower hall couldn't sit still. Today, they pretended to be reserved and were a little too much. Instead, they would rather be more lively than pleased. Seeing that Dan Tai Furong was crazy, she fell into someone's blue eyes... As soon as the girls were thinking, their aura changed. It seemed that they used chopsticks to pierce the film outside the raw egg, and "poofed" them all out.

Xiaoxiao was already lying on the window and waved at Furong, but felt a sharp look shot at him. It was the man who was guarding Furong, with a burly figure, sharp eyebrows and eyes, and he tilted his lips to show a smile. Xiaoxiao didn't know what expression he should have, so he smiled and said nothing, which was the politeness of the master. - I remembered that Furong called him Meng Qi just now, and that was the young master of the Meng family who started his career as a gambling shop. It really exuded an unblocked banditry.

This kind of banditry and wealthy background is very suitable for the current women's tastes.

When Dan Tai Furong saw Xiaoxiao, she walked towards her happily. Today, she was dressed brightly and dazzlingly, wearing a hibiscus flower woven with silver silk on her head.

I don’t know what Meng Qi said to Furong, Furong stopped and sneered: “You’re so broad about asking. This is the girl from the Tang family, the one who got the Jin Zhonglun wreath at the Bitao Banquet of the Jin family!”—The implication is that if you don’t have any show, stay wherever you are cool.

Meng Qi still raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiaoxiao. Suddenly, a small thing was thrown over and almost hit Xiaoxiao's elbow. The thing fell on the windowsill, but it was a candy wrapped in flower paper.

As Dan Tai Furong walked towards this side, she turned around and spitted on him: "Jin Er beats you up."

"He can't beat me." Meng Qidao.

Furong has already walked here, picked up the candy and threw it back: "Be careful that he will arrange you into a big show. When you go to various halls, you will be embarrassed to death~"

Later, Meng Qi was called away by someone, so he was considered calm.

Xiaoxiao finally had a lovely companion at the banquet this time. The rest of the time was basically to go to the garden and chat with Furong. There were not many guests today, and the sisters at home wanted to show their hospitality skills, and they just ended up in peace.

"Meng Qi just now looked like a tough guy, so it's better to avoid him." Xiaoxiao pulled Furong and found a pavilion to sit.

"The more you hide from him, the more excited you become!" Furong pinched a candy lotus seed to eat. "It is said that he is proficient in martial arts and is good at archery. He made a mistake in the archery field two years ago and it is rumored that he deliberately wanted that person to die."

Xiaoxiao didn't feel the hair was standing upside down. Isn't the business district just talking about business? Why did he even get killed?
