Tie Hetong was very proud, today was a good day for him, a happy event was coming, and he was bracing himself to welcome the guests, but naturally he had no time to deal with it.
There were a lot of guests coming to congratulate him this time, which is a symbol of his growing business over the years.
Because in the past two years, he had caught up with the trade middlemen between Daxia and Daqi, and transshipped the goods needed by both sides. The profits brought by this transshipment were extremely generous.
He didn't seek out this marriage from the Wu family, it was the Wu family who brought it to their doorstep.
He was reluctant at first, but after taking a look at Miss Wu's third daughter, he immediately agreed to the marriage.
The third young lady of the Wu family was well-born, and her scholarly temperament attracted his heart even more.
This is much better than the concubines from small families, and is not on the same level.
"Congratulations to Mr. Tie on your wedding."
Another guest walked in from outside.
"Okay, Mr. Qi, please come in." Tie Hetong couldn't help but bend down, with a flattering look on his face.
Mr. Qi works as an errand in the Yamen, and is also a nobleman of Tie Hetong.
If it weren't for Mr. Qi's help, he wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the transshipment trade, and he wouldn't have been able to develop the Tie family to this extent.
It's really a great honor for Mr. Qi to come and attend his wedding banquet today.
He waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to receive other guests, and then he personally led Mr. Qi to the VIP room inside.
With such a noble status as Mr. Qi, naturally he cannot stay with ordinary people.
The VIP rooms are specially built for distinguished guests. The servants here are carefully selected to satisfy the distinguished guests without being picky.
"Hetong, after a while, your caravan will be able to travel." Mr. Qi picked up the teacup, took a satisfied sip, and said slowly.
The various furnishings in this VIP room are indeed to his liking.
Not only were all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings displayed, but there were also two beautiful maids who served me personally, one squeezing the shoulders and the other rubbing the feet. Their techniques were all top-notch. It was so pleasant.
"Mr. Qi, has the county governor resolved the matter of the caravan being intercepted a while ago?" Tie Hetong's face showed joy.
The reason why he has free time to get married and renew his relationship is because his caravan has not been able to travel recently. Not only is it a weather problem, the mountains are only closed for a short period of time due to heavy snowfall. The bigger problem is that horse thieves intercept and kill the caravan.
Many caravans were intercepted and killed by horse thieves.
After he heard the news, he decisively stopped the caravan and did not dare to continue its operation.
Compared to those real aristocratic families, there is still a huge gap between his family's fortune. Not to mention it has been robbed several times, as long as it is completely robbed once, the Iron Mansion will be almost destroyed.
Therefore, he was very careful when traveling in the caravan and did not miss anything.
Now that he got this good news, he was even more excited than a wedding.
"It's almost solved. Soon the county governor's office will announce a trustworthy decree. Those who do business between Daxia and Daqi can register at the county governor's office. Any registered caravan that reaches a certain size can use money to trade.
Hire the Thousand Machine Army to protect you, so that you can protect everything." Mr. Qi said carefully.
Tie Hetong hesitated...
It is a good thing that the caravan registered and was escorted by the Thousand Machines Army of the County Governor's Office, but if you think about the commission, it will never be low. This will cost you a lot of money.
Tie Hetong felt a vague pain in his heart when he thought about giving a large chunk of the money he earned to the county magistrate's office.
However, he only hesitated for a moment and then turned into a happy face.
He knows how to deal with Mr. Qi and will never look bad.
He was prepared to wait and see how this matter would be handled, but there was no need to say it explicitly here.
After chatting for a while, Tie Hetong resigned and left. He also had to receive other guests, so he couldn't stay here all the time and only entertain Mr. Qi.
Among the guests who came, there were still some important ones who could not be easily offended.
At this time, people from the Wu family also arrived in advance.
Wu Qin from the Wu family came in person. He was obviously only a few years older than Tie Hetong, but now he was his father-in-law. His generation had doubled out of thin air.
"My father-in-law is here, please take a seat." Tie He Tongming still had a good attitude on his face and greeted him very attentively.
"Xian son-in-law, I will leave this third daughter to you. She is impatient, so please be more considerate of her in the future." Wu Qinren said with a smile on his face.
The Wu family has not been doing well recently. Now that they can join the Tie family, they don't need to go out to do anything. This difficulty has been overcome.
"Don't worry, father-in-law, marry me and keep his favorite things. I haven't read many books and am a rough person, but I am a real person. One thing is one thing and another thing is another thing."
Tie Hetong patted his chest and assured.
"From now on, the affairs of the Wu family are the affairs of my Tie family, and our two families will be one family from now on."
Tie Hetong's words reassured Wu Qin a lot. In this way, the debt crisis of the Wu family can be alleviated. As long as the turnover of goods is good, the debt crisis can be completely eliminated.
The smiles of both of them contained some kind of sincerity, but they also secretly concealed their own plans.
"Counting the hours, it's almost time."
Tie Hetong glanced at the sun outside and estimated that the sedan chair would be coming soon. He greeted the guests for a while, then went out to check again, so that the firecrackers, suonas and the like were ready.
He must seek a good outcome when getting married, so nothing will go wrong.
After a while, there was a whistle at the door and a team came.
"I'm coming!"
Firecrackers started ringing outside immediately, and there was a commotion outside.
Various traditional wedding ceremonies in Qianji City began to take place, and the famous local elders invited by Tie Hetong also stood up.
"Let's go and meet the bride."
The hall was already full, but there was one person sitting at the top. Wu Qin from the Wu family, as the master of the Wu family, sat on a chair and accepted the worship from the newlyweds.
What replaced the Tie family was a portrait, a portrait of Tie Hetong's father. Tie Hetong's parents passed away in his early years, leaving Tie Hetong with a rather generous family fortune. This was also Tie Hetong's business.
The basics to get started.
Therefore, Tie Hetong was very respectful to his parents, and that was from the bottom of his heart. For such an important matter, of course he had to invite his father out.
The maid and the nanny supported the bride and walked out of the red sedan.
The bride, with a graceful figure and a red hijab on her head, walked forward slowly with golden lotus steps.
At this moment, a big stone fell in Wu Qinren's heart. He had always been worried that this matter would happen again.
Regarding this third daughter, he knew that she was extremely stubborn.
It was absolutely not allowed for her to fall in love with a poor boy.
