Chapter 887: Deserving Treatment
"It's delicious. Although these seafoods look weird, they taste really good."
"Hahaha... As long as you like it, please bring more friends to eat, I will give you a 30% discount."
"That's good. This seafood meal is extremely delicious. I'm afraid I'll talk about it often when I look back."
In Vientiane City, several merchants who had just finished their meal walked out of the restaurant with their stomachs shyly.
Several more people were going in for dinner. When the manager who saw the guests changed his face and hurriedly bowed to the merchants.
"Everyone, you have a lot of food and there are still distinguished guests there, so I won't disturb you."
The full merchants looked back curiously and saw a young man dressed in a white-faced scholar walking towards him with a few middle-aged men with glorious faces. The merchant's eyes were stunned at first, and then hurriedly pulled several companions to make way.
"Mr., please come in."
The manager looked at the middle-aged merchant with gratitude and slapped his waist to lead the way for the newly arrived people.
When they walked into the restaurant, several friends behind the middle-aged merchants asked curiously: "Lao Gu, do you know those people?"
The middle-aged merchant in the lead kept watching the people disappear at the end of the porch of the restaurant. When he heard his friend ask, a hint of respect appeared on his face. Then he reached out and patted his chest and said to them:
"Several people, we have not come in vain this trip. Have you seen that the young man in charge just now is the young man Shuofang... The identities of those behind him are not simple. The slightly younger person on the left is Cui Shang, the contemporary head of the Cui family of Boling, and the old gentleman on the right is Wang Shou, the contemporary head of the Wang family of Taiyuan, and the slightly rich one. It is said that Lu Huan, who just took the position of the head of the Lu family this year."
When several friends heard this, their expressions changed drastically. They looked into the restaurant, but there were no more figures of Xi Yunfei and others.
One of the slightly younger young men said with some annoyance: "Uncle Gu, you are not kind enough. Such a good opportunity, why don't you let me wait for a visit? Even if you leave an impression, it's good."
When the other people heard this, they nodded repeatedly. They were familiar with the middle-aged merchant and said that he was confused and did not know how to seize the opportunity.
Seeing them like this, the middle-aged merchant said angrily: "Who do you think you are? We are just small vendors from Yizhou. Who do you think you can get to know those noble people at will?"
Someone heard that he was called a small vendor and muttered unhappily: "What kind of noble people are not noble? We are also a well-known grain merchant in Yizhou. Our family talks about less than 10,000 mu of fertile land, and the money we earn in a year is less than 200,000 chunks, which is not much worse than them."
"That's right, Lao Gu, don't belittle yourself. We have been to Chang'an for so many days. To be honest, we have known so many so-called big shots, but I really haven't seen many richer people than our brothers."
Even the young man who said he wanted to know Xi Yunfei at the beginning was straightening his chest and his face was full of rebelliousness.
The middle-aged merchant glanced at them, raised his lips and sneered, pointed at the young man and said, "In terms of assets, Liu is the second in our Yizhou Prefecture, so I am afraid he doesn't dare to say first, right?"
The young man was stunned. He didn't think it would be a good thing for middle-aged merchants to raise their family at this time.
Sure enough, the middle-aged merchant continued, "I will ask you, if the ten Liu clans combined, dare to destroy a big country!"

"Hmm..."
"Why is the Empress laughing?"
"Dad, you haven't heard what those Sichuan and Shu merchants said just now."
Wei Ruyi walked into the restaurant with a steady step and looked back at the people at the door.
"What if I don't hear it? It's the Tang Dynasty that destroyed Goguryeo and His Majesty. Don't talk about this for laughing."
Concubine Wei, who was walking side by side next to him, hurriedly put away her smile and said curiously: "Dad, you said that the husband asked you out today, is it for the marriage of that girl in naive?"
Wei Ruyi shook her head and frowned and said, "It shouldn't be the case. The sender said there was something important to discuss. I think it should be related to the Electric Power Department."
When he mentioned the Electric Power Department, Concubine Wei tightened her expression, looked at Wei Ruyi with a dodge, and asked with concern: "Dad, I heard that the Electric Power Department invested a lot in the early stage. Is the family's money enough?"
"Don't worry, I, Jingzhao Wei, can still take out this little money." After a pause, Wei Ruyi's gray-white eyebrows frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at Concubine Wei: "Is it your Majesty who asked you to ask?"
Concubine Wei's expression changed slightly. She looked at Wei Ruyi and nodded honestly: "Dad, Your Majesty has no other intentions. It's just that before leaving the palace today, I gave a casual instruction and you just pretended that your daughter didn't ask."
"Haha, so casual..." Wei Ruyi continued to walk forward calmly, thinking that the married daughter, who was poured out of water, actually helped her husband's family dig the corner of her own father.
The two followed the servant to the door of a private room, and the servant knocked on the door twice.
"Mr., I've brought it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Yunfei's voice came from the private room: "Haha, the head of the Wei family is late."
With a clamor, the wooden sliding door opened from the inside, and Xi Yunfei smiled and greeted him.
Wei Ruyi bowed and Concubine Wei next to him also bowed. Those who could receive such treatment in the Tang Dynasty could count even if they could slap them. Now, Xi Yunfei took one, and everyone present thought it was natural.
"The Imperial Concubine is here too. It's just as soon as possible to get a table. Please come in quickly!"
After entering the door, Wei Ruyi's expression changed, and then he bowed to greet him again.
Cui Shang and others, who are from the same family, are from the five surnames and Qi Wang, are much higher than the Wei family in Jingzhao. Wei Ruyi should be careful when he sees them.
Concubine Wei was also frightened at first. Anyone in the room, she took out any of them, and they were all big names that she couldn't offend.
Fortunately, the etiquettes that several heads of the family should have were still there, and after meeting each other, they took their seats.
Xi Yunfei raised his glass to invite him, and everyone drank it all in one go.
After three glasses of wine, Xi Yunfei started to focus on the topic. He put down the glass and was the first to find Wei Ruyi.
Xi Yunfei seemed to have found a topic casually and said, "Master Wei, how do you think my business in Vientiane City?"
Wei Ruyi hurried from home and was taken to the restaurant on the third floor to meet Xi Yunfei. Before he had time to visit Vientiane City, he was asked at this time and could only give up and praise him.
Xi Yunfei smiled without saying a word, looked at Cui Shang and others, and then said, "That's right. I have a profitable deal with several heads of the family. I plan to find one or two partners in Chang'an. I wonder if the head of the Wei family is interested?"
"A business that makes money?" Wei Ruyi was stunned. This was too straightforward, but I like it. Who would dislike making too much money? As soon as he thought of this, Wei Ruyi stood up and said gratefully: "It is my honor to be able to consider my Wei family in Jingzhao."
