Chapter 476 Pain
Wan Hu is a good businessman. Silk and satin are also the inheritance left by his ancestors. Thanks to his ancestors' support, it is not difficult for him to run the business now. However, it is difficult for him to get along in the officialdom.
However, this man's lust is unparalleled. When it comes to women, Wan Hu's mind becomes open, and he is much better at business than them.
"If you want to know, why don't you go over and take a look tomorrow? What's the matter? Can a little nun like you not even enter the Wan family's door? Can I, the Wan family, do anything to you, a little nun?"
After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again, which attracted the attention of Master Lou and his men. Seeing their laughter, the usually cold atmosphere in the officialdom became a little more lively.
Miss Qian, who was standing next to him, looked at Wan Hu fiercely and twisted his arm.
"How can this guy be so eloquent? He's even more noisy than a woman."
Looking at the two of them arguing with each other, Wan Hu took a breath. This must have been painful. Wan Hu almost got angry. Master Liu saw that the situation was not right and went over immediately.
"Come on, come on, it's someone's birthday, why are we making a fuss? If you're going to have a party, then do it in style. Don't be like last time when you got drunk, took off your clothes and fell asleep on the floor, leaving others there. That's not okay."
When it came to this, Miss Qian became excited.
"It's not true. Fortunately, I didn't go there that time. Otherwise, I, a little nun, would have committed adultery."
A group of people started laughing again. This Wang Qian was really out of his mind. Master Liu next to him gave him a test look, and Wan Hu finally quieted down.
Master Liu's mind was not on this table, but on the table opposite where his colleagues were sitting.
The group of people sitting at the top were all subordinates to the prefect, and they all held official positions.
Mr. Lou is a Tongzhi, which is a fifth-rank official position, and the prefect is a third-rank official position.
There are legal advisors, jailers, the state-run salt and iron bureaus, water conservancy projects, and private farmland irrigation projects in the underground world. Except for the prefect, all the top officials in the government were invited here today.
This legal advisor and the associate magistrate belonged to the same rank and were both fifth-rank officials.
It's just that the legal advisor was a confidant of the prefect and did not hold a position in the court, so he was ranked second, and the one sitting in the main seat was still Master Lou.
The master saw that it was almost time, and then said to Lai Fu who was behind him.
"Call the young master up to thank you all."
After hearing this, Lai Fu backed away and went downstairs to call Lou Daguang.
Many of Lou Daguang's brothers also came, and all the private rooms on the second floor were fully occupied with tables of different sizes.
They were just waiting for the words from Lou Tongzhi upstairs, the show was about to begin, and they were going to watch the show.
Liu Yan'er was standing nearby, feeling a little hungry. He had not eaten anything at noon and had been thinking of coming here to watch a play. However, he did not expect that this place was somewhat different from what he had imagined. It was nowhere near as joyful as when he listened to songs in Yanlai Tower before. Now he felt like sitting on pins and needles. All the people below who were of the same age as him were speaking in clichés.
He had heard some of this official language at home, and at first he found it interesting, but later it became commonplace. But when he came here and found that everyone spoke official language, he felt annoyed. He turned his head and looked at Si'er, who came over immediately.
"What time is it now? When will this end?"
Si'er was eating a chicken leg nearby. After he came over with his mouth full of oil, he rubbed his greasy mouth on his sleeve and said to Liu Yan'er.
"Master, it will probably take some time today, maybe until three o'clock in the morning. The real event hasn't started yet, and there's no movement upstairs, so it will probably take some time. Besides, the young master of the Lou family hasn't gone up to toast yet, so things won't end so easily."
Liu Yaner didn't know what to do here, mainly because she was bored. As she spoke, she picked up the side dishes and started eating. She drank two sips of sake to smooth her throat, looked at Si'er's eyes, staring blankly downstairs, and waved her hand to let him go down.
Si'er left, and he was alone, looking at the postures of everyone at the table, which seemed like a play.
Lou Daguang in the middle played the role of the host today. He has been running his father's business for almost a year, and he has come into contact with people from all walks of life. After being in the business and official circles for a long time, he is familiar with the official language.
Lou Daguang met Wan Ronggui, the nephew of the Wanhu family in the south of the city. All the names of the Wanhu family were like this, either rich or noble, and they were all supported by their ancestral property, so naturally there was wealth and nobility in their names.
Lou Daguang stood up and came to Wan Ronggui while playing drinking games.
"Brother Ronggui, today is my birthday. I am naturally happy to see you here. I will remember your kindness. Let's drink together today to show our brotherly love. The friendship between you and me is all in this glass of wine. We have deep feelings for each other and I can finish this glass of wine in one gulp."
After that, Lou Daguang picked up the wine and drank the whole bowl of wine. Wan Ronggui, who was sitting opposite him, had a slightly red face and was obviously a little drunk. But Lou Daguang had already finished his wine. If he didn't drink it, it would be embarrassing. Seeing that Lou Daguang had already drunk it, how could he easily avoid the bowl of wine?
Wan Ronggui picked it up and pinched his nose, then gulped it down. After drinking it, he burped. The air was filled with the smell of his stomach. With all the meat and wine mixed in his stomach, how could the smell that he vomited out be good? Liu Yaner next to him frowned and covered her nose.
Lou Daguang was extremely happy to see Wan Ronggui making a fool of himself. Among Lou Daguang's friends there was a relative of the Liu family named Liu Sangui.
Liu Sangui was the brother of Liu Yaner's grandfather, but later they branched out and gradually became distant relatives. Those within the fifth degree of mourning could not figure out what generation Yaner was in. According to his wife, Liu Sangui had to call Liu Yaner uncle when he saw her.
Liu Sangui muttered something next to Lou Daguang's ear. Lou Daguang glanced at him and when their eyes met, Liu Yan'er knew that nothing good would happen. Lou Daguang's group of friends all stood up and came to Wan Ronggui, Wan Hu's nephew.
Wan Ronggui is not as powerful as his uncle. Wan Hu's family has no children, only girls. Wan Hu is about 30 years old, and his nephew is almost 20 years old.
