Chapter 3 Please help Yu's family

It was eight o'clock at this time, a bunch of big crabs, steamed and cold, but I learned that in Hangzhou, known as the Buddhist land, there are people cannibalizing people, up and down, no one can eat.As the host, Grandma Qigu had no choice but to persuade her, but she ended the table hastily, just as a reproach. Among those who were full, there was only one You Wu, who came over after hearing the news, to eat his apprentice's wedding wine, and he was naturally regarded as the guest of honor.Hearing the news that Hu Xueyan had arrived during the banquet, he was eager to get out, but he was still drunk a lot before he could leave the banquet.Seeing him at this moment, the drunkenness went away, and he just stared at Hu Xueyan in a daze.

"Uncle, how did you make it like this?" "Fifth brother, don't ask him anymore. It's a real hell on earth, and you're close to death. Let's discuss business now!" "Come inside, please." Grandma Qigu said, "I've made arrangements for my grandpa." She arranged Hu Xueyan's bedroom in a hut next to Gu Yingchun's study.The window was pasted snow-white, with a huge brazier, and a Western copper bed with extremely thick quilts.At the same time, he also prepared "solitary ginseng soup" and nourishing and easy-to-digest food for him to eat and talk at the same time.

In fact, it was Gu Yingchun who spoke for him. "Fifth brother," he said, "the people in Hangzhou are going to starve to death. My uncle was entrusted by Wang Futai. The more people who come to Shanghai to handle rice, the more The better, the sooner the better." "The Zhejiang treasury distributed 20,000 silver, but I can't take the silver with me now, so I came here empty-handed." Hu Xueyan said, "I don't know what to do with my bank, fifth brother, I have to settle this account later." "It's a small matter of money," Gu Yingchun said, "I'll pay for it."

"You don't need to pad it," You Wu said, "Tongyuzhuang has a thousand shi of rice in the warehouse, and you can get another thousand shi at any time. If it is not enough, you can find a way. The rice is always easy to handle, but how to transport it? " "If the canal is blocked, we will not be able to pass through the barrier of Jiaxing." Hu Xueyan said, "There is only one way, which is to take the sea route and pass through the Biezi Gate." Biezi Gate is located in Haining, where the Qiantang River enters the sea. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the first gate for preventing Japanese invaders in Hangzhou.You Wu is quite familiar with the canals, but the sea roads are very unfamiliar, so he said honestly: "I don't understand this. I need to find a way to find the sand boat."

The Shachuan Gang took the sea route. From the discussion of Caomi shipping, the Cao Gang and the Shachuan Gang seemed to be at odds with each other.Now asking him to deal with the Shachuan Gang would be difficult.While drinking the ginseng soup, Hu Xueyan was still thinking about how to proceed, but Gu Yingchun spoke first. "Boss Yu of the Shachuan Gang, I also know a little bit. Now that things are going on, I can't be presumptuous. I'll go!" With that said, he stood up.You Wu pulled him, and said slowly: "Don't be busy, let me think about it." Hu Xueyan was still very alert, seeing what You Wu meant, he struggled to get up.Grandma Qigu quickly supported her and asked, "Uncle, what do you want?"

Hu Xueyan didn't answer her, stood up, called out: "Fifth Brother!" and knelt down. You Wu was startled, jumped all the way, and said loudly: "Uncle, Uncle, what are you doing? You're killing me." Gu Yingchun and his wife both helped him up, when Grandma Qigu wanted to speak, he waved his hand and said, "I'm begging Fifth Brother for the people of Hangzhou!" "Uncle, why are you doing this?" You Wu could only speak happily, "As long as you say something, even if Boss Yu and I are inseparable enemies, I have no choice but to speak nicely to him."

He and Boss Yu are indeed inseparable enemies - Boss Yu's name is Yu Fushan, he lives in Qiaojiabang inside Xiaonanmen, and he made a fortune by sailing the North and South Oceans.Originally, one traveled by sea and the other by canal. The so-called "river water does not violate well water", there is no grievance at all, but after shipping from Nancao, the situation is very different.You Wu still understands the truth, the general trend is inevitable, it is not that Yu Fushan intends to take on this business and break the job of the Cao Gang.But his little brother didn't think so.In addition, the sailors of the Shachuan Gang are arrogant, and the teahouses and wine shops are generous, and the brothers of the Cao Gang are dwarfed by each other. They are more and more jealous and often friction.

There was a gang fight between two gangs. Speaking of it, the reason is that the Cao Gang is lacking.But the Jianghu matter, the Jianghu matter, Yu Fushan listened to the words of a few alternates in the Jiangsu Maritime Bureau, and turned a few brothers under You Wu to the Shanghai County Yamen.Liu Xunjiao, the magistrate of the county, is a capable member of Jiangsu, and he also knows that the Cao Gang in Songjiang is "a centipede, dead but not stiff", and he doesn't want to be troublesome.At the same time, Gu Yingchun was able to enjoy himself in the Shanghai County Yamen, and was entrusted by You Wu to talk about favors.After two meetings, Liu Xun made big things into small things, and small things into nothing. He told You Wu to go to the hall, warned him face to face, told him to "don't make trouble anymore", and took him back.

This time the resentment deepened.In You Wu's mind, even the county magistrate knew that the Songjiang Cao Gang was not easy to mess with. On the other hand, Yu Fushan didn't care about loyalty in the rivers and lakes.That being the case, the two do not go back and forth.You Wu specially summoned the brains of the wharf to which he belonged, and solemnly announced: Anyone who belongs to the Shachuan Gang and the Songjiang Cao Gang are not allowed to participate.Those who change jobs and change jobs to work as sailors in the Shachuan Gang will be regarded as "breaking the door", and they will not recognize them when they meet from now on.

Yu Fushan himself knew that he had done something wrong, and felt deeply disturbed. He asked someone to pay tribute to You Wu several times, hoping to fix it.You Wu ignored it, but now he had to violate his warning and bow his head to the other party. "Because of my uncle's matter, I have made three stabs and six holes. I also gritted my teeth and 'rejected'. But in the past two years, my banner has been too much, and I can't get off the tent for a while. The difficulty is here." "Fifth brother, you are for the people of Hangzhou." Hu Xueyan said, "I have a leg injury, so I can't negotiate with Boss Yu—that being said, it doesn't matter when you go out to sea and enter the Biezi Gate. Once you enter the Biezi Gate , there is a risk, Boss Yu is too happy to nod, only you can entrust him, if he wants to sell you a friendship, he has to agree to it if he refuses. As for you saying that the banner is too high, it is true. There is a way to let you down, not only let you down, but also make you face, what do you think?"

"Uncle, don't ask me, just do what you say. In fact, I'm just talking. I really have no choice but to bite the bullet and go see Boss Yu." "I won't make you too wronged." Hu Xueyan turned his face and said, "Old Gu, I ask you to write a letter to He Zhitai—" "To He Zhitai?" Gu Yingchun said, "Is he hiding now?" "Can't you hear this?" "Inquiring about it is certain." You Wu interjected, "Although he has been dismissed and needs to be investigated, no one will know whether he was a platform maker. However, my uncle, he is on official business in Jiangsu. It’s out of control, why did you write to him?” "Although he can't manage Jiangsu's official business, he still has to buy the old officer's account." Hu Xueyan said, "I want to ask him to explain to Xue Futai or Shanghai Road, and let them come out to cheer for Brother Wu and Boss Yu. " "No, no!" You Wu shook his hands wildly, "The current officials, I am not worthy of their status. This kind of entertainment is very embarrassing on the scene, one more thing is worse than one less thing." Gu Yingchun felt that Hu Xueyan's words were very reasonable, so he said, "It's better to settle the enemies than to tie them up. If some local officials come forward to mediate, both sides will have face, so they should take advantage of the situation." "That's the second thing," he continued with the second reason, "For my uncle's business, Boss Yu's sandboat is indispensable anyway. But the risk is too great, even if you buy Fifth Brother your face, you owe him It will be difficult to make up for this kind of love in the future. If the government comes forward, half of it will be equivalent to arresting the wrongdoer. Fifth Brother, won’t your debt of favor be much lighter?” "Old Gu's words are correct." Hu Xueyan nodded again and again, "That's exactly what I mean." Since they all said so, You Wu naturally agreed.So Hu Xueyan dictated the general idea, and Gu Yingchun wrote the letter to He Guiqing on his behalf, and agreed to split up the next morning and finish it by noon.As for the details of rice transportation, we can only talk about it after You Wu and Yu Fushan reconcile. After the two groups of guests had been settled, it was past midnight when Grandma Qigu went to bed.I asked my husband about Hu Xueyan's official business, and when I heard that there was a twists and turns in writing a letter to He Guiqing, I "jumped" at that time. "When is this? It's enough for you to 'get out of the coffin from the top of the city and go around'!" Not to mention the people in Hangzhou, who are starving to death, just looking at the appearance of my uncle to beg Rescue soldiers, you should work overnight." She said angrily, "Really, look at you guys, why are you so sissy when you do things?" Gu Yingchun laughed, "Don't dance with me, you go and ask your brother!" He said, "I didn't persuade, Fifth Brother and Boss Yu are still unwilling to solve the festival!" "Wait for me!" Grandma Qigu said without hesitation, "Wait for me to tell Fifth Brother." She didn't need to go, You Wu happened to have something private to say to his brother-in-law, and met her as soon as he opened the door, and couldn't help but be surprised to see her displeased face. "What? Who are you angry with?" Upon hearing this, Gu Yingchun hurriedly stopped him: "Seventh Sister, talk to Fifth Brother carefully. Fifth Brother has difficulties with Fifth Brother, as long as you make sense, Fifth Brother will listen." "Okay, I'll be reasonable. Fifth brother, come in and sit down. Let me ask you a question. Is it the friendship of the young grandpa that matters? Or is it the face of the table-making and maintenance that matters?" "What do you mean by that?" "Naturally, you have to pay attention to it. You answer my words first, and I will tell you the reason." "Of course my uncle's friendship is important." "Okay!" Grandma Qigu's face softened, "Let me ask again, the lives of the people in the city of Hangzhou have a festival with our Cao Gang and Boss Yu, fifth brother, you weigh it upside down on the balance, which side is it?" Is it heavy?" You Wu was dumbfounded, being refuted to the point where he had nothing to say.Gu Yingchun was happy, but also a little uneasy.Because even though I am a close relative of my uncle, I have to maintain a polite manner, and some things are inconvenient to speak frankly.Now with the quick words of "female Zhang Fei", it is enough to convince You Wu, but I am afraid that her wife will be unreasonable, and if she continues to talk, it will make You Wu resentful, and I hope she will stop in moderation. Grandma Qigu is a few years older and has a child again, so naturally it is not what it used to be.At this time, the voice became calm: "According to me, my uncle is trying to save face for you, but his idea is actually not very clever." "If you say that, you must have a brilliant idea?" Gu Yingchun pointed at her, "Why don't you tell Fifth Brother slowly to see if it works?" "If you want to be an official, come out to pull the show, it's a bit like drinking fine wine, if you don't eat it, you can't—" "Yes!" You Wuyi patted his thigh, appreciating it greatly, "Ah Qi's words touched my heart, I can't refute my uncle, it really feels like that." "It's about Jianghu, it's about Jianghu." Grandma Qigu became a little impassioned again, "Fifth brother, you go to see Boss Yu tomorrow, and you only say that for the lives of the people in Hangzhou, and the friendship of my uncle, bow to him and ask him for help. If this word gets out, who doesn't say you are benevolent and righteous?" You Wu thought about it for a moment, got up suddenly, and left without saying a word—the private message he wanted to say to his brother-in-law was that he didn't need to alarm the government, to see if there was a better way?There is no need to say this anymore. As soon as he arrived at Qiaojiabang inside Xiaonanmen, he saw Yu's house from a long distance, which was new and big.Not long after the completion of Yu Fushan's new residence, the Little Knife Society rose up and occupied Liu Lichuan head to tail for three years.On the first day of the fifth year of Xianfeng, the governor of Jiangsu Gilhanga, with the help of the French navy admiral Lanier, overcame the county seat of Shanghai. It was the first time for You Wu to come to Yu's house, and no one recognized him.He never prepared name cards, he just pointed to his nose and said, "My surname is You, from Songjiang." You Wusheng has a restrained energy, a humble appearance, and very plain clothes.The servants of Yu's family couldn't help but look down upon him, thinking he was here to ask for a job, they said flatly: "Our master is not at home, you come back tomorrow." "No, I have something very important. I must see your master. Please send someone to look for it. I will wait here." "Where can I find it?" The Yu family's servant's voice became unpleasant. You Wu is a very cultivated person, and now that he has made up his mind to achieve what he wants, he is easy to accept grievances, so he said in a discussing tone: "In that case, let me sit and wait for the bench you have here. ,Yes or no?" There are two benches more than ten feet long in the door of Yu's house, which were originally used for the attendants and bearers brought by the visitors to rest their feet. Why not sit on it if You Wu wants to sit on it?Just please. After sitting for an hour, I saw a very beautiful carriage coming, and the handsome servant who crossed the shaft jumped out of the carriage, put a step stool at the door of the carriage, and a handsome man came out of the carriage Conquer the youth and start boldly. This handsome young man is Yu Songnian, the eldest son of Yu Fushan, who is known as "Yu Family Scholar". Song Nian came to an end to study hard.However, "Mo papers in the field" has not been able to win even a scholar, so he donated 50,000 yuan to repair the Confucian Temple.When the imperial court encountered this kind of righteous deed, there were no more than two kinds of rewards. One was to order local officials to set up a memorial archway to reward this person, and the other was to increase the number of "advanced students", that is, the number of scholars.Yu Fushan hoped to get the latter kind of reward, and after some management, he got his wish. This is for the benefit of the local area, but it is actually for oneself.Now that the number of places has increased, "enrollment" is easier.After all, Yu Songnian will be young again.The official title of a scholar is "shengyuan", and there are various differences among them. Those who take up the extra quota are called "Zengsheng", but no matter what, they are always scholars.Calling Yu Songnian a "Yu family scholar" means that this scholar's quota was donated by the Yu family with a huge sum of money, which of course is a bit meager. But Yu Songnian is not an idiot, although he can't help being a playboy, he is eager to learn and polite.At that time, amidst the greetings of "Eldest Young Master" from the servants, he entered the screen door, suddenly noticed something strange, stood still, turned around to watch, and sure enough, he saw You Wu. "Fifth Uncle You!" He rushed forward, greeted him, and asked with mixed surprises, "Why are you here, old man?" "I came to see you, old man." You Wu was very generous, and refused to speak ill of the servants of the Yu family, "I heard that you are not at home, so I will wait." "Why are you sitting here?" Yu Songnian turned his face away, angrily reprimanded the servants, "You are too unruly, Fifth Master You is here, why don't you please come in and let the distinguished guests sit here?" The servant who had originally answered the question realized that he "has eyes but does not know Mount Tai".My master had a grudge with You Wu, and the story of how he hoped to fix it but failed, I had heard it more than once.Now when people come to ask for advice, they are slow customers instead, thus offending You Wu, it's too bad, maybe they broke a good job, so they turned pale with fright. Seeing this situation, You Wu simply decided to be a good person, "Don't scold him, don't scold him." He hurriedly stopped in front, "The butler has invited me in again and again, and I am willing to wait here, which is more convenient." Hearing this, Yu Songnian remained silent, "Uncle You, please sit inside!" He said, "My father is surveying the city wall, I will send someone to invite him back immediately." "Okay, okay! It's really important, otherwise I wouldn't dare to disturb your old man." "What's Uncle You talking about? You can't even invite me." When Su Ke entered the hall, he saw a flat forehead with gold characters on a blue background hanging in the middle of the hall, with four large characters in imperial pen: "Gongxiang Baochi".This is why Yu Fushan went to investigate the city wall at this moment. When Shanghai was recovered, foreign warships fired artillery at the Pujiang South Wharf. Liu Lichuan was entrenched, and Yu Fushan was inevitably suspected of being a bandit. He was fined 100,000 taels of silver to repair the city wall.Now there are reports of Changmao besieging Shanghai, Yu Fushan is afraid that the part of the city wall he has built is not strong enough, if it is breached in the future, the responsibility will not be light, so he has been surveying for days and taking precautions. After hearing what Yu Songnian said, You Wu took the opportunity to make a foreshadowing, "My father has always been enthusiastic about public welfare, very, very good!" He said, "Saving people is saving oneself, and I came here today for this matter." "Yes!" Yu Songnian asked respectfully, "Should Fifth Uncle You give orders first, or wait until my father arrives?" "It's the same with you first." So You Wu recounted the situation of Hu Xueyan's begging for food in detail from the beginning.Halfway through the conversation, when Yu Fushan arrived home, he interrupted the conversation. "Fifth Brother You," Yu Fushan was a medium-sized fat man who was out of breath and said with a smile and panting, "Which gust of wind brought you here. Rare, rare!" "Go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, I have something to ask you, and I am talking to your boss." Yu Songnian interjected: "It is to transport food to Hangzhou——" Yu Fushan had a quick mind and a very smooth wrist. When he heard what his son said, he immediately guessed more than half of it, and hurriedly interrupted: "It's easy to talk, easy to talk! It's always easy to discuss matters with Brother You. Sit down first. I won't see you for a long time. Let’s talk about the current situation. Brother You, you look good, you’re going to be lucky!” "TOEFL, TOEFL. Boss Yu, I'm here today—" "I know, I know." Yu Fushan didn't allow him to talk about business, turned to his son and said, "Go in and tell your mother that Fifth Uncle You is here, please invite Fifth Uncle You to cook some dishes, and ask your mother to make it yourself. Use the ready-made 'Bao Botou' to drink, and I will have a good talk with you Fifth Uncle You today." You Wu had heard a long time ago that Yu Fushan was worth millions and lived in luxury.Now that he is asked to marry his wife to cook, cook the meals and entertain the guests by himself, it shows that he is not proud of his wealth, it seems that he never forgets the meaning of friendship between the poor and the poor. The wine is served, and the host and guest sit facing each other.Yu Fushan imitated the style of being an official, and his children stood on duty, no matter what You Wu said, Yu Songnian did not dare to accompany him.When he held the pot and filled it up for the guests, Yu Fushan solemnly raised his glasses with both hands up to nose level, respecting You Wu, naturally he had two important things to say. "Fifth Brother," he said, "There are many places that I haven't been able to in the past few years. Please bear with me. The Jianghai family has no distinction between north, south, east, and west. In the future, I will ask Fifth Brother to guide and take care of me." Wine, turn over the glass and take a photo. Since You Wu came here for repairs, he also toasted naturally, "Boss Yu," he also took a glass, "The past will be wiped out today. The Jiang Hai family's saying is true, but in some places, the boss must also be invited." Brothers under your command, raise your hands high!" "Heavy words, serious words!" Yu Fushan said this in fear, then turned his face and asked, "Is Fuquan here?" You Wu also knew that this person was the right-hand man who helped Yu Fushan start his own business.Now he is also the rich man of Dough.At that time, he was called here, without waiting for Yu Fushan to say anything, he put his head in his arms and made a big bow, and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Uncle You, do you still recognize me, old man?" "Oh," You Wu blinked intentionally, with an air of surprise, "it's Brother Fuquan, you've gained weight." "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. Uncle You, you can call me by my nickname." "Really, they are juniors, Brother You, you are being polite." Yu Fushan then turned his face and warned Fuquan, "You take care of it, the Jianghai family, the brothers of the Songjiang Cao Gang, should be like our own, respect and be courteous everywhere .If Uncle You has any orders, just follow my instructions." He said something, and Fuquan agreed, his expression was not only serious, but also sincere.In Jianghu, the emphasis is on "receiving a foot from others and giving back to others." When You Wu saw this situation, he couldn't help but confess with sincerity and humility. Once the long-standing grievances were resolved, Yu Fushan was very happy.In terms of interests, although the Shachuan Gang was prosperous for a while, the Cao Gang was deeply rooted and had different forces, so the two gangs reconciled, especially in the Shachuan Gang.Yu Fushan is a very calculating person, he thinks this matter is worth a lot of extravagance, if it is spread that You Wu himself is willing to fix it, wouldn't it be a good thing to increase the brilliance and momentum? After making up his mind, he immediately stated that in the next few days, he would choose an auspicious day, hold a big banquet, and pay a little respect.The words are sincere, You Wu cannot and should not refuse, thank you before eating, it is a foregone conclusion. This time, the relationship was even more different, Yu Fushan drank and chatted quickly, in great interest.You Wu was rather anxious, he had something important to discuss, so how could he be in the mood to reminisce about the old days?But it is inconvenient to sweep his happiness.If things go on like this, wouldn't it be a waste of time for the master to get drunk? After waiting and waiting, he endured and endured, and when he could not bear it any longer, Yu Songnian saw the signs and reminded his father, "Dad! Fifth Uncle You has something to discuss with Dad!" "Oh, oh, yes." Yu Fushan could no longer pretend to be sloppy, and then turned around and said, "You Fifth Brother, please say it again." "It's like this. There is a batch of rice that needs to be borrowed from your boat to take the sea route from Haining to Biezimen, enter the Qiantang River, and transport it to Hangzhou." You Wu also said, "The people in Hangzhou do not only eat grass roots. The bark is eating human flesh. Therefore, we must ask the boss for help in this matter, and the sooner the better." "Fifth Brother You, your business, in a word. However, the situation of the Shachuan Gang cannot be hidden from you. I have never been to the road of Biezimen before. I am not familiar with the water, so I will be stranded. Wouldn't it delay the big thing?" He said nervously. Then he said, "Of course, brothers from the Cao Gang can lead the way, but the sand boat is going on the river, and the road is wrong. In this case, I will find someone to discuss it immediately, and I will always come up with a plan. Can I call you back tomorrow?" Hearing this, You Wu was quite displeased, thinking in his heart, in this kind of time of chaos, it is risky to go everywhere, even in peacetime, when the wind and waves are dangerous, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen.To say that you want a perfect plan, isn't it just a deliberate evasion? If you think this way, of course there is absolutely no reason for it to happen, but I want to point him out, "Boss Yu," he said, "Brothers, settle accounts clearly, favors belong to favors, and business belongs to business. Please calculate carefully, the shipping fee is out of business. Why don't you let the river water wash the boat?" "Heavy words, serious words! Brother You, you misunderstood, I am definitely not planning on this. The reason is—" Yu Fushan felt that it was inappropriate to say anything, and he wanted to ask about the situation on the road, so he asked , "Brother You, that Hu Daotai, I have admired his name for a long time, can you guide me to meet him for a while?" Hu Daotai is Hu Xueyan. In the past few years, he has made donations and guarantees, and his official career has prospered. He has become a special person who is both an official and a businessman in the city of Zhejiang Province.You Wuyuan intended to bring them together for a meeting, but now Yu Fushan spoke up, of course without any excuses, and said: "Leave as soon as you say, as you please." "Today is too hasty! One is drunk, and the other is hasty and disrespectful. I will definitely visit tomorrow morning. I don't know where Hu Daotai is delaying?" "He lives in Sheqin Gu Yingchun's house. I'll pick him up early tomorrow morning." "It turned out to be Lao Gu's place. We are also acquaintances. I have been to his house. Don't bother me, I will go by myself." Speaking of this, it came to an end, and there was enough wine, You Wu got up to leave.Once back at Gu's house, Grandma Qigu came forward to meet her. Although she didn't speak, her eyes were more concerned than she spoke. "How about it?" You Wu didn't answer, just asked how is Hu Xueyan's injury?This made Grandma Qigu happy, and praised the traumatologist for his ability.Hu Xueyan's pain was greatly relieved, and the wound healed very quickly. It is estimated that in three days, he will be able to get out of bed and walk around. "This is also when people come here, they feel at ease." Grandma Qigu said again, "People feel refreshed on happy occasions. If Boss Yu is willing to help, it will be more useful than any medicine." "I am willing to help. Things are not so fast. Talk to my uncle first." So start over.Grandma Qigu, who was listening quietly, kept smiling at first, and jumped up when she heard Yu Fushan said that she would not reply until tomorrow. "This is obviously a pretext!" "Seventh Sister," Hu Xueyan hurriedly stopped her and said, "There is something embarrassing for someone, don't worry, just discuss it slowly." "I'm worried for you, little grandpa!" "I know, I know." Hu Xueyan still calmly said, "If I were Boss Yu, I would have to be careful. There is nothing on the sea. Once you enter the Biezi Gate and walk in the Qiantang River, there are long hairs on both sides of the river. Naturally, we have to worry about things. This is the only way to do this matter. On the one hand, we have to tell him the truth, where is the danger, where there is no danger, and how to deal with it? Take risks. As the saying goes: 'Think about others in the first half of the night, and think about yourself in the second half of the night.' Now we think about ourselves first. If there is any benefit to go to others, they will be willing to take a risk because of their friendship." "Yes!" You Wu was overwhelmed, "These two words of my uncle are reasonable, if you think about it this way, the matter will be settled." "Okay!" Grandma Qigu had no choice but to change her mind that she, a woman of the generation, should not have to deal with this important matter, so she said, "When the sky falls, there will be an elder to support it. It has nothing to do with me. You can discuss it." She said. Turn around and leave. "Seventh Sister!" Hu Xueyan shouted hastily, "I have something to discuss with you. Please come back!" She naturally stood still.Hu Xueyan had listened to her words and was almost angry. In fact, he didn't have anything to discuss with her, but now that he had said it, he had to find something to discuss with her. With an idea, I said, "Seventh Sister, I haven't been to Shanghai for half a year. Is there any good restaurant recently?" "Yes!" Qigu's grandma replied, "A new Taihe restaurant has been opened, which combines the tastes of the north and the south. I have eaten it a few times, and the dishes are delicious." "What about the place, is it spacious?" "Not only is it spacious? Qingxing Building, Fuxin Garden, Hongyun Building, among the many big restaurants that can be counted, none of them are as elegant as it." Grandma Qigu asked, "Uncle, do you want to treat someone?" "I can't hide my thoughts from Seventh Sister." Hu Xueyan replied with a smile, intending to compliment her.Then he turned to look at You Wu and said, "Fifth Brother, since you have been wronged, you can simply look at the people in Hangzhou City and see your grievances to the end. Please come forward and invite a guest, and invite all the big and small characters under Boss Yu's subordinates. We Cao Gang brothers, it’s best to be there too, to give him enough face, let’s see what he says?” "Okay. One word." "Then I'll leave it to Seventh Sister, Ding Taihe Pavilion. The name goes to Fifth Brother, and I give the money—" "You don't need to explain this." Grandma Qigu hurriedly said, "I don't know how many people there are, and how many tables do you want to reserve?" Of course you have to ask You Wu about this, and he replied slowly: "Either you don't invite, or if you invite, it doesn't matter how many people he has. I just prepare a post to invite all the brothers of the Shachuan Gang. Take the Taihe Pavilion and book it. For flowing water seats, one table counts as one.” "It's a joy. That's all." Hu Xueyan cupped his hands to Grandma Qigu, "Please, please!" Grandma Qigu likes to have a lot of spectacles the most, and she promises nothing but details, so she thought about it and asked, "Which day will you please?" "Isn't it fast!" You Wu replied, "Tomorrow is the fast time." Grandma Qigu kept silent, took down the imperial calendar lined up behind the door, flipped through it and said, "Tomorrow is a good day for fear of failure, and there will always be someone who will make a marriage and treat guests there. It's not appropriate to make an alliance.' I don't know if it's okay or not?" "Yes!" Hu Xueyan said immediately, "This is considered an 'alliance'." Without further ado, Qigu's grandma took a silver envelope and took a carriage to the Taihe Hall to reserve a seat.You Wu went to Mr. Zhao, the accountant of the Gu family, wrote a full letter, and sent it to Qiao Jiabang Yu's house. At the same time, he sent someone to find his beloved apprentice, Li Delong, to handle the matter.
