Troubled World Merchant

On the day of Chinese New Year, the heavens looked bright, the sky cleared, and the sun came out. Several servants of the Duan family tidied up the Duan family inside and out. The New Year’s Eve dinner in the north was at night, and the cook did his best. Duan Jintang invited several stewards and managers for this New Year's Eve dinner.

Wang Guisheng, Wang Guanshi, Liu Guanshi, etc. were a little flattered to see Duan Jintang toasting with them. Duan Jintang had never treated them with such courtesy in these years. Their old man passed away for three years. They were not very optimistic about this young master. Thin-skinned people can't restrain these people, but he has done well in the past three years, he should be too strict, even more powerful than the old man.

This made the managers breathe a sigh of relief. It is a good thing that the new boss is powerful, but no matter how powerful they are, they are still old people, and they are the heroes of their Duan family. They should be respected. Fortunately, it is okay. He is not very close to people, and he has never scolded them. They are a little happy to invite them to dinner today, which is not bad.

Duan Jintang held his wine glass and smiled: "Everyone has worked hard in the past few years. My father passed away for three years, but the income in these three years has not decreased. I have read every account of Mominglou and Duan's tea shop, and they are all very good. , These are all thanks to everyone, Jintang is very grateful, today is this reunion festival, I will toast everyone with a glass of wine, thank you."

He held the wine in his jade hand, and drank it down, his ivory-like skin was stained with a blush. Everyone was a little flattered when the high-ranking person stepped down from the altar. Duan Jintang, who had never toasted a toast, now made a toast. Immortal, several managers quickly responded to him: "Master, I dare not do it, I dare not do it, we should."

Duan Jintang toasted three cups in a row: "This cup is my toast to everyone. I have thought about the scene like this tonight, and I have wanted to invite everyone to gather a long time ago. It's just because my father has only passed three years, and I have three years of filial piety." I have not passed, and I can’t drink, so I owe you three years, and I have wronged you for these three years.” Several stewards looked at him and were very moved: “Master’s filial piety is so filial, he is really a filial son, we old people are really happy.”

Duan Jintang smiled impeccably: "I know that a few of you are old people from our Duan family. I am very relieved to hand over the Duan family's property to you. Today, I, Duan Jintang, offer a toast to everyone present. Today we just drink and don't talk about state affairs. Come, let me do it first."

Wang Guisheng just watched him drink three glasses of wine without pausing in between, except for a few words, the amount of alcohol is... not bad.Wang Guisheng was also quite surprised to see how powerful he is. Duan Jintang used to be like the sky, but now there are many unexpected things on the ground, like a crabapple blooming in the snow overnight.

He never thought that a delicate young master like him would personally deliver the goods, read the accounts line by line, and write the accounts line by line. The clean and delicate accounts were clear, as if they had been written for decades. I used to think that such a clear account was written by someone else, but I never thought it was written by him. There are so many accounts, one for each month, one for each shop, not only for writing and calculating, but also for maintaining the income. Balance of expenditure, what a huge amount of work, but he did it neatly, as if it was printed from a mold.

Wang Guisheng watched him raise money with these people, the smile on his face remained undiminished, and he drank the wine glass by glass without ambiguity at all. He respected them sincerely and sincerely wanted them to earn money for him. After drinking so much, he was still standing and smiling, the only thing that could be seen was his face, the blush was spreading upwards layer by layer, Wang Guisheng's heart couldn't help but feel hot when he looked at him, he toasted his wine as if he drank it The world's most precious nectar and jade wine.

Duan Jintang poured a cup of white wine into his belly, like a flood. He wasted a little too much for this afternoon's meal, but he had no choice but to drink what he had to drink. Ye Shaojun used to help him make some, but from now on it was only him.Seeing him drinking so hard, the old housekeeper couldn't help but be concerned, is his master drinking so much?Has this been secretly drunk before?

This banquet was led by a hospitable host, Duan Jintang. Needless to say, Duan Jintang, the rest of the managers were all too drunk, and those who were not drunk in the wine hall were not sincere enough, so they were very sincere. Duan Jintang told them to lie down, and when he was about to stand up to send them off, he was staggering. Wang Guisheng helped him up: "Master, are you okay, slow down, slow down."

Steward Wang did not dare to drink too much because of his poor health. He was still awake at this time, so he told him: "Guisheng, take care of the master. I will help steward Zhang to send them home together." Wang Guisheng hummed and leaned on the sofa Duan Jintang on the bed, Duan Jintang was drunk and honest, lying on the sofa quietly, Wang Guisheng was afraid that he would fall asleep here and catch a cold, so he helped him to the bedroom: "Master, I will help you to rest."

Duan Jintang couldn't stand up anymore, and helped him to slip to the ground. Wang Guisheng couldn't hold him up sideways, and when he wanted to say something, he saw him rubbing his face against his chest a few times, probably looking for a comfortable place. To be honest, Wang Guisheng walked upstairs step by step with him in his arms. Duan Jintang was not heavy, but he still walked very slowly, as if he was hugging a precious piece of porcelain.

The little maid led the way and helped him open the door. Wang Guisheng put him on the bed and helped him take off his shoes. The little maid twisted a hot towel, and Wang Guisheng took it over: "I'll do it." He was willing to serve Duan Jintang, Although this job should be handed over to this beautiful little maid beside him, Duan Jintang felt that the towel on his face was more comfortable, he touched his face, and muttered something, but Wang Guisheng couldn't hear him and asked him again: "Master, what are you talking about? Duan Jintang repeated again: "Ye Shaojun, look at my house is not deserted at all, many people come to drink."

Wang Guisheng laughed after hearing this: "You mean Manager Ye, yes, why isn't he here today?" Duan Jintang didn't say anything more, and fell asleep peacefully. Wang Guisheng didn't want to sit too much, so he followed the little maid out up.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year's Day, Duan Jintang fell asleep with a hangover and wanted to sleep more, but the old butler insisted on waking him up from the bed. There were many New Year's greetings today, and he couldn't sleep. Duan Jintang's face was pale, Dimly sat down at the table: "Uncle Zhang, bring the wine." The old butler was startled: "Master, I can't drink any more, you drank enough last night." It's scary, I don't drink it on weekdays, and I accumulate it as if it's just for the one time at the end of the year, drinking enough at once, this kind of drinking is very disapproved by the Pharaoh Steward.

Duan Jintang didn't care about his worries, he just said sleepily: "Didn't you hear that the best way to sober up is to drink a little the next day? Bring it to me." The old housekeeper dubiously went to get it for him. Watching him drink the wine, Duan Jintang suddenly opened his eyes after drinking three cups, and the phoenix eyes were shining brightly. The old butler sitting opposite him was startled by him. sharp?

After Duan Jintang woke up, he didn't drink any more. He started to eat breakfast, which was still dumplings. Duan Jintang hated eating dumplings the most on New Year's Day. He didn't like stuffing. It's the same this time, the old butler looked helpless at seeing him picky eaters.

Duan Jintang had just finished his breakfast, and put on new clothes. The snow-blue robe was well cut and tightly tied at the neckline. Every button was made of twisted gold threads. It was dignified and expensive, which made him even more handsome Looks good, the old butler carefully looked at it, what he said that day was not against his will, his master's appearance is really good, at most... he has a bit of a temper, but this can be ignored.

After Duan Jintang was dressed neatly, he sat in the living room, waiting for the New Year greetings. Wang Guisheng came early this year. He came soon after Duan Jintang sat down. Seeing his enthusiastic smile, the simple and bright smile, Duan Jintang was attracted by his big Zhao Zao was stunned for a moment with a smile, and laughed along with him. Wang Guisheng did not leave in a hurry even after greeting him. Duan Jintang asked him to sit down, and he sat down politely. Melon seeds, I ate melon seeds for a long time, because I couldn't find anything to say to him, it's hard to talk about things in the shop this year, but he really didn't have much to say other than this, and he refused to leave, Duan Jintang was thinking about it after sitting for a long time, eating a big plate of snacks from him, when the cold Wang Guisheng said, "Master, don't you have a headache?"

Duan Jintang looked at him suspiciously: "It doesn't hurt." Wang Guisheng looked at him and smiled shyly: "Master drank too much last night." Duan Jintang coughed, what do you mean, he drank too much?Have you made a fool of yourself?Wang Guisheng's eyes lit up when he saw a trace of blush fade on his face, Duan Jintang looked exceptionally good-looking today, he had never seen a person who looked so good-looking in this kind of snow-blue dress, and the white jade revealed a trace of snow-like clarity.

Wang Guisheng explained to him: "Master drinks a lot, I don't even know it." Duan Jintang was a little uncomfortable seeing his eager eyes, he likes men, and he can't stand the overly direct eyes on men, no Too willing to face it squarely, I always feel that they offend him, but it's not good to scold them because of this, there is no silver 300 taels here, and Boss Dong came when the two of them were embarrassed.

Because Boss Dong wanted to marry him, he came here very attentively, and he heard his voice before entering the room: "Brother Chaoxi, I'm here to wish you New Year's greetings."

With such a loud voice, Duan Jintang had no choice but to get up to meet him. Wang Guisheng stood up with him. Boss Dong was wearing a very happy outfit today. His upper body was a black double-breasted Tang suit, and the lower part was a skirt. It was very formal. The pattern on the clothes was embroidered with gold thread. The wishful pattern of the finished copper coin is very rich and noble. Looking at the golden light from a distance, when seeing Duan Jintang come out, he stretched out his hands from a distance: "brother, the new year is new, and the wealth is rolling in." Duan Jintang held his hand and smiled: " Boss Dong, come in quickly, I recruited you, the God of Wealth, early in the morning."

Dong Lin liked Duan Jintang because Duan Jintang could speak, and the two of them seemed to be congenial. Although they were engaged in elegant cultural works of art, they both regarded money as life and turned all this ancient culture into money.

Dong Lin is twice as old as Duan Jintang, but because of his like-mindedness, he wiped out the age gap. If he didn't want to marry his daughter to him, for fear of messing up the seniority, he would really worship him as a brother up.
