"That's it!"

Zhen Qian didn't believe that Zhang Tianbao invited him here today for this matter, otherwise he would have thought too highly of these maritime merchants, but he didn't want to speak easily before he figured out the other party's intentions.

At this time, Qi Hou, a slightly obese middle-aged maritime merchant sitting in Zhen Qian, said: "We maritime merchants have been running around the ****** all year round, although we have accumulated some wealth over the years, but we have also contracted a body of problems, thinking that when we are old, we will be able to make fun of our grandchildren and let young people take over the business at sea, but we are all dragging our families and mouths, and we have to support a large family, thinking that we can also play on the land, and we can also earn some pension money for ourselves!" ”

Listening to these words, I know that the maritime merchants are not ready to put their eggs in one basket, which is true, after all, it is much safer to walk on two feet than to set foot in maritime trade with one foot, Zhen Qian nodded yes.

Qi Hou picked up the topic, and the surrounding maritime merchants poured bitter water, as if the maritime trade was the Longtan Tiger's Den, he got on the thief ship at the beginning, and now he wants to get off the thief ship after making a little money, and they want to change careers to become rich on land, so they almost complain about the difficult world and the sinister people with a handful of snot and tears.

However, Zhen Qian listened and understood a little, these maritime merchants are all looking forward to Zhang Tianbao, and they belong to the top category in Yangzhou and even Huainan maritime merchant groups, partly because they are getting older and have the intention of retiring, and some want to hand over the maritime business to the young people in their own family, and they are ready to do some other business on land to see if there is a suitable business for themselves.

Zhen Qian's head grew up all of a sudden, listening to the meaning of these maritime merchants, it was obvious that he didn't want to continue operating on the sea, but what did it have to do with him, he was not Zhuge Liang who was counted as an omission, or Fan Li, who was regarded as the God of Wealth, these maritime merchants plucked a cold hair thicker than their waist, even if they wanted to find someone to ask, their hairy boy obviously couldn't get into the eyes of these maritime merchants.

The more the maritime merchants poured bitter water, the more difficult it was for Zhen Qian to express his position easily, adhering to the true meaning of not saying good, he quickly gritted his teeth and did not speak.

Zhang Tianbao saw that Zhen Qian's words were getting less and less, and he didn't mean to ask, the two sides met for the first time today, and they couldn't say that they knew each other very well, especially Zhen Qian had only learned about the situation of the Zhang family in advance, and knew little about other maritime merchants, so after a short exchange, everyone turned the topic back to Fengyue Field again.

A short time later, a group of singers dressed in Silla's characteristic costumes walked into the hall and presented a song and dance performance of the Silla nation to everyone.

It was the first time for Zhen Qian to enjoy Silla's song and dance performance, and he watched it intently for a while, and after a few taps with the music, he blended into the atmosphere.

In the Tang Dynasty, when the wealthy families went to the banquet, the singing and dancing performances were naturally not less, many wealthy families had a group of singers and dancers, and the banquet was a performance to help the fun, and some families themselves had a deep attainment in singing and dancing, especially the men of the Tang Dynasty would take the initiative to dance on such an occasion, and dance together with the singers to add to the banquet.

Zhang Liang danced a Silla dance on behalf of his father, and then pulled the helpless Yuerong to dance the Hu Xuan dance together, everyone picked up the chopsticks in their hands and knocked on the dishes in front of them, and for a while all kinds of sounds echoed in the hall, and the atmosphere became lively all of a sudden.

Needless to say, Zhang Liang danced really well, complementing Yuerong's beautiful dancing, the two were surrounded by Silla singers like butterflies in the middle, one was suave, the other was glamorous and moving, a pair of talented and beautiful golden boys and girls, Zhen Qian couldn't help but applaud.

"Zhen Lang, are you willing to show your talents?"

Zhang Tianbao smiled and asked Zhen Qian to dance a song, but unfortunately Zhen Qian, in addition to the twisting ass in later generations, his eyes were black for the Tang Dynasty dance, standing in the center of the field like a stubborn stone, not moving, not jumping, shaking his shoulders and finding that it was not in tune with the music at all, kicking and shaking his hands, feeling similar to the square dance of later generations, so he brought up Fujiwara Shuxiong, who was watching the excitement on the side, and took the opportunity to slip away.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was a custom for guests to dance at the invitation of the host, which was similar to howling in the song and dance hall in later generations, and it was not an embarrassment to make the guests ugly, but it could narrow the distance between the two parties and contact the feelings.

For a while, everyone danced one after another, and some old perverts jumped up and down in their arms for the old disrespectful girl, and took the opportunity to rub oil on the dancer's body, causing everyone to laugh.

I have long heard that the Tang Dynasty is extravagant, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by myself today, and suddenly remembered the Haitian feast introduced by friends in later generations, what Russian roulette, depth charges, eel and so on, and even a group of people took out a huge amount of money to bet on who the child born after the woman was pregnant in October, although Zhen Qian did not participate in such an event, but he couldn't stand the people around him boasting in their ears, as a way to show off his hunting history.

Obviously, today's scene has the same effect, the graceful singer wearing green yarn clings to Zhen Qian's body, her eyes are full of expressions, and a few maritime merchants are even directly holding the Silla girl into the house to vent ****, there are no good contraceptive measures in this year, as for whether the beautiful maid will conceive in October afterwards, no one seems to care, even if she is born, it is the son of the Zhang family, and it is not uncommon for a mother to have a father in the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Tianbao turned a blind eye to this, and saw Zhen Qian sitting there entertaining himself, holding a beautiful maid in his hand, leaning his head on the beautiful maid's chest, raising a glass and toasting: "Let Zhen Lang see and smile, they are all ordinary family banquets, these Silla maids are also carefully selected talents, if Zhen Lang likes it, just pick a few?" ”

It's not that Zhang Tianbao is boasting, these Silla maids are indeed capable of singing and dancing in all their talents, and they have been trained to be cute, and anyone will be moved.

It's a pity that Zhen Qian is just acting on the spot, and he doesn't want to sweep away Zhang Tianbao's interest, so he hugged a Silla maid and followed the customs.

"Thank you Master Zhang for your kindness!"

Zhen Qian thanked him and said: "Zhen Lang is a layman, these beautiful women can sing and dance, but unfortunately I don't know the rhythm, isn't this a pearl secret cast?" ”

Zhang Tianbao also smiled: "Zhen Lang is really funny, it's natural to look down on these rouge fans, but it's a pity that these beautiful maids are not blessed to serve Zhen Lang, I just don't know how many will secretly cry ......."

Saying that, Zhang Tianbao's face was full of gloomy clouds, and he sighed lightly: "Last year, Yangzhou was gale, and the sea ships lost two or three out of ten, and many sea ships were temporarily unable to trade due to grounding, and I am afraid that business will be more difficult to do this year?" ”

Zhen Qian suddenly had an extremely bad premonition, he had heard Yuerong mention the typhoon in Yangzhou last year, and Yangzhou maritime merchants suffered a lot of losses, but he didn't expect to hear about it again today, and he couldn't help but pause, and asked casually: "I also heard about the strong wind in Yangzhou last year, but I didn't expect it to have such a great impact on maritime business, I don't know if the maritime trade this spring can be carried out?" ”
