Xu Lingji didn't even take a penny of deposit from Tang Jian.

This surprised Tang Jian.

The last time he helped her kill Gui Lan and Dai Yuan, she had cheated him.

Is this little beauty so kind?

Is she trying to take the lion's share after the success?

This little beauty is not an ordinary mountain crab.

She has many tricks!

So, for the sake of safety, Tang Jian said:

"Then, all these matters will be handled by Madam."

"After the matter is completed, Madam and I will each take 50% of the income."

"What do you think, Madam?"

However, what Tang Jian did not expect was that Xu Lingji actually smiled and said:

"General, have you forgotten? I told you that I would meet a noble person today after fortune-telling early in the morning."

"As long as the general comes often in the future, my restaurant business will not be bad."

"I will do my best to manage this business, and all the income should be handled by the general at that time."

"It's enough for me to take the capital."

Huh!

This, this, this!

Tang Jian couldn't believe his ears.

This restaurant costs 20 gold just to rent for a day.

Not to mention holding a banquet, entertaining guests, and finding someone to bid up the price.

This is also a huge expense.

I'm afraid I'll have to pay at least a few hundred gold.

And this little beauty was so generous to give it up?

Or did she fancy me?

If I really married Xu Lingji as my wife, it would undoubtedly be of great help to my career.

She is good at calculating, tough, and good at business.

Most importantly, she has a beautiful face!

It is definitely the configuration of a heroine.

If you get such a smart, beautiful and capable woman, I am afraid she will not be worse than the first wife of Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Empress Ma!

So Tang Jian stopped being polite.

He secretly made up his mind to get her in the future.

Won't yours and mine be the same by then?

What's the difference between each other.

"Then thank you, Madam."

After the two of them finished talking about the matter, Tang Jian saw that it was getting late, so he said that there was something important in the military camp, and left.

People should always know when to leave.

Leave a few words between each other and wait until the next time you meet.

Don't wait until you have said everything, otherwise the anticipation for the next meeting will not be so strong.

Xu Lingji stood on the third floor, watching Tang Jian's back as he left.

The weather was getting cold, and the maid brought her a cloak. Following Xu Lingji's line of sight, she saw Tang Jian riding a horse and walking away.

The maid stuck out her tongue and said:

"Madam, are you still looking?"

"If you don't want to leave, I will go and call General Tang back."

Xu Lingji glared at her and said:

"Silly girl, don't talk nonsense."

But the maid didn't care about Xu Lingji's gentle reproach, blinked, and continued:

"I think Madam and General Tang look like a couple."

"Last time in Wanling, I dressed him up, and he looked like Madam with Madam's phoenix hairpin."

After hearing this, Xu Lingji immediately remembered the scene of Tang Jian peeking at her.

Her pretty face immediately blushed and said:

"Silly girl, don't talk nonsense, I won't fall in love with that scoundrel!"

…………

When the scoundrel returned to the camp, many people came to pass on the message.

Many of them were invited to the banquet by the major families in Jiangdong jointly or privately.

The ceremony was quite grand, and almost all the great scholars in Jiangdong gathered.

Please be sure to attend the meeting.

After that, there was another letter from Zhou Yu.

It said that Sun Quan had decided to fight Cao Cao.

He would return to Chaisang tomorrow and prepare to lead his army to fight Cao Cao on the river.

So, please ask Tang Jian to meet again.

After reading it, Tang Jian said:

"I have rejected all the invitations from the so-called aristocratic families."

"Just say that I have to discuss important matters with Zhou Yu and I don't have time to see them."

"By the way, reply to them and say that after I finish discussing important matters with Governor Zhou, I will host a banquet to invite them. The address is the largest restaurant in East City."

After Tang Jian finished speaking, he brought Lu Kuang to Zhou Yu's house.

After all, Zhou Yu's face cannot be ignored.

It is also a good opportunity to use Zhou Yu as a shield to reject those so-called Jiangdong aristocratic families.

"Ah, Jianming, come quickly."

Tang Jian and Lu Kuang rode horses and just arrived at Zhou Yu's door.

Zhou Yu came out to see off the guests and happened to see Tang Jian at the door.

So he quickly called Tang Jian and personally came over to pull the reins for Tang Jian.

Such an intimate gesture was also a sign of his great respect for Tang Jian.

The people who had just come out of Zhou Yu's house saw it and couldn't help but say: "It seems that Governor Zhou really values ​​this Tang Jian."

Among them,One person said, "That's right. Tang Jian refuted Kong Ming. Just based on this point, it is enough to make people look at him with new eyes."

"Hey? I heard that the major nobles in Jiangdong held a banquet in Nancheng and invited Tang Jian to go. Why is he here?"

Another person replied, "Oh, how can those so-called nobles compare to the respect of Governor Zhou?"

"If I were Tang Jian, I would naturally choose Governor Zhou instead of those so-called nobles."

Zhou Yu personally helped Tang Jian pull the horse and tied it to the horse tying stone.

Tang Jian turned over and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Gongjin."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Alas, why do we have to say these things between you and me."

Then he pulled Tang Jian and said, "I will set off to Chaisang tomorrow. I don't know when we will meet again in the future. Tonight, you and I must get drunk!"

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he did not forget Lu Kuang behind Tang Jian:

"General Ziling, come and join us for the banquet."

Tang Jian and Lu Kuang followed Zhou Yu to the banquet hall.

Seeing that the maid was removing the food that others had just eaten.

Then wiped the small table and put the wine and food on it again.

Although Zhou Yu was the most powerful person in Jiangdong besides Sun Quan.

But his food was still not very good.

In this day and age, as long as people were full and the food they cooked could maintain their vital signs, it was basically enough.

Few people would work hard on food.

Zhou Yu invited Tang Jian and Lu Kuang to take a seat.

The so-called sitting down means that each person is given a small stool and then sits behind a small low table.

It is not kneeling.

Kneeling is only required in some important ceremonial occasions.

The three of them sat down, and Zhou Yu raised his glass and said happily:

"Jianming is indeed a genius."

"Last night, it was just as Jianming said."

"When Kong Ming saw me, he recited a Tongquetai Fu and insisted that Cao Cao attacked Jiangdong to rob my wife."

"Fortunately, I had Jianming's reminder and was well prepared, so I didn't get angry."

"Today, I sent someone to check, and it turned out that the two bridges mentioned in the Tongquetai Fu were just the two bridges next to the Tongquetai."

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he still laughed.

Tang Jian also smiled and asked: "If Kong Ming's plan doesn't work, he will probably doubt his life."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu laughed even more:

"Yes, yes, doubt life! This word is used brilliantly, brilliantly!"
