Chapter 863 Jiang Yuhan Starts a Society at Wangjiang Tower (Part 3)
Wangjiang Tower is located in Room Ding.
A middle-aged man with a beard occupied nearly half of the window horizontally. He did not even glance at the performance that was being applauded by the crowd. His cunning eyes kept scanning the ground, as if he wanted to drill into the eyes of the money on the ground.
"Damn it!"
After a while, he suddenly cursed angrily, saying in a dirty way: "This butt-selling bunny is actually an expert at making money! If I had known that this babbling thing was so profitable, I should have bought a share!"
Apart from him, most of the people gathered in front of the window were drama fans. They couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard him disparaging Jiang Yuhan on the stage. However, due to his usual arrogance, no one dared to refute him to his face.
The bearded man was still unaware that he had offended everyone. He turned around and looked around the room with sleepy eyes, then asked the guests at the table who were busy enjoying the wine and meat: "Where is that southern barbarian? Why hasn't he come back for so long? Could he have slipped away?"
Most of them kept silent. Only one man with greasy hair and powdered face wiped the grease on his hands on the tablecloth and sneered, "Xie Lao Si, you used to call him a southern barbarian, and Master Jia didn't care much about this brother-in-law anyway. But now that Old Xing has found a better wife, aren't you afraid of his cheap son-in-law..."
"Bah!"
Xie Laosi spat on the ground and cursed, "What a bastard son-in-law! He's just a concubine to someone else, and he still has the nerve to brag about it!"
After a pause, he turned his anger on Sun Shaozong again: "The second son of the Sun family is now prosperous, but when my mother saw me in Rongguo Mansion, didn't she call me Fourth Uncle? At that time, I didn't hesitate to pay attention to him!"
This was not necessarily a lie. After all, when the Sun brothers were down and out, they were of no importance in Jia She's eyes. When they ran into Jia She's cronies, they naturally had to deal with them carefully.
However, the Sun brothers are now considered top figures in the capital, so it would be inappropriate for Xie Laosi to bring up the old matter again.
Especially since he was able to come to Wangjiang Tower this time because of Sun Shaozong and Xing Zhong, his behavior of cursing his mother as soon as he put down his bowl and chopsticks was also shameful .
However, when everyone saw that this guy had obviously lost control of his mouth after drinking a few glasses of wine, they became more afraid to provoke him and each of them just pretended not to hear anything.
But the man with greasy hair and powdered face refused to give up and deliberately provoked, "Fourth Uncle? Aren't you afraid that the wind will blow your tongue away? Seeing that the second son of the Sun family is about to arrive, if you really have the guts, try to act like a senior in front of him!"
“Just give it a try!”
Xie Lao Si was not one to be provoked, and he was already drunk and bewildered by the copper coins on the ground. He patted his chest and said, "I'm going to say this today. Not to mention Sun Er, even Sun Da who comes back from outside the Great Wall has to respectfully call me 'Fourth Uncle'!"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open by someone outside. Xing Zhong rushed in with an excited look on his face, and shouted triumphantly: "Everyone, everyone, I have invited the people here!"
Then, Sun Shaozong came in from outside, holding a wine glass and smiling. His strong body stood in front of the door, blocking it tightly.
Everyone in the room stood up hurriedly, calling out "Master Sun" and "Young Master Sun". Some who were related to the Sun family hurriedly introduced themselves.
Seeing Sun Shaozong chatting and laughing, responding to everyone's chat, Xie Laosi froze in place for a moment, not knowing whether to move forward or backward.
At this moment, the greasy-haired and powdered man quietly approached her and jokingly asked, "What's the matter? Isn't Fourth Uncle Xie going to make some relatives?"
Xie Laosi glared at him, then grabbed the blanket from the table, gritted his teeth and pushed everyone away, then asked in a muffled voice in front of Sun Shaozong: "Does Erlang still remember me?"
Not to mention that Sun Shaozong only has most of his memories left now, even if he was replaced by the original version, how would he remember Xie Laosi?
Seeing that he had a frown on his face, as if he was up to no good, he turned his gaze to Xing Zhong who was standing aside.
The reason why Xing Zhong invited Sun Shaozong before was because he had endured the sarcasm and ridicule from Xie Laosi. When he saw him jump out again, he was a little timid at first, but when he thought that Sun Shaozong was right beside him, he became braver again.
Seeing Sun Shaozong's inquiring gaze, he hurriedly introduced: "This is the fourth-generation grandson of Dingyuan Earl's family, commonly known as Xie Laosi."
Dingyuan Earl?
Fourth generation grandson?
Sun Shaozong thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered someone. He smiled and said, "It turned out to be Captain Xie's younger brother. Two years ago, when I went to the city defense camp to recruit people, Captain Xie almost became my personal guard. Unfortunately, he was too old."
As he spoke, he shook his head with some regret, and then asked casually, "I wonder what position you hold? Are you also serving in the City Defense Battalion? My old subordinate Han Bang is returning to Beijing this time, and he will probably be promoted to a captain of the City Defense Battalion. When the time comes, it would be a good idea to get closer to your brother so that we can take care of each other."
In fact, Captain Xie did not participate in the selection of the Ministry of War at all, let alone serve as Sun Shaozong's personal guard.
The reason why he said this was that he was just too lazy to get entangled with the ruffian opposite him - with his current status, if he really wanted to argue with a pauper, he would lose his status.
Only when you can control the opponent so easily and skillfully can it be considered as having some skills.
As expected, facing Sun Shaozong's nonchalant attitude, Xie Laosi on the opposite side felt a rage stuck in his throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it, and his face turned red.
He had just boasted that he wanted Sun Shaozong to call him "Fourth Uncle", but he never thought that the other person would casually associate him with his own brother.
He even implicitly asked his old subordinates to take care of his two brothers.
The contrast was so great that Xie Laosi felt quite embarrassed.
But Sun Shaozong's words were full of good intentions, and this involved his eldest brother's future, so even if he wanted to turn against him, he couldn't find a reason to do so.
Just as he was struggling, someone next to him suddenly nudged his waist with his elbow and said disdainfully: "What are you doing standing there alone? They are almost done with the show."
Without even looking, Xie Laosi knew that the person who instigated him to take the lead must be the greasy-haired and powdered Wu Junxiong.
He looked up subconsciously and saw Sun Shaozong being surrounded by many people, talking and laughing. Everyone present looked flattered.
At that moment, Xie Laosi suddenly lost his temper. No matter how carefree he was, he now clearly realized that the two sides were from two completely different classes.
Especially after hearing what he said just now, if he really continued to act recklessly, Sun Shaozong might not even have to do anything, before his own brother would come to his house and fight him to the death.
Thinking of this, Xie Lao Si sighed dejectedly, suddenly grabbed Wu Junxiong by the collar, dragged him to the banquet without any explanation, and shouted: "Drink! If you can leave upright today, it will be considered that Fourth Uncle didn't accompany you well!"
Wu Junxiong struggled desperately, but how could he get away?
…
After dealing with that group of bad friends and following Sun Shaozong out of the T-shaped private room, Xing Zhong was still a little confused.
Xie Laosi came with great momentum, and he thought there would be a fierce fight, but he never expected that after Sun Shaozong's few gentle words, the opponent was stunned like a stupid goose.
When did Xie Laosi change his temper?
"Uncle Xing."
At this time, Sun Shaozong said, "You'd better have less contact with these people in the future."
His daughter and wife had said similar things countless times, but each time Xing Zhong turned a deaf ear to them.
But coming from Sun Shaozong's mouth, Xing Zhong's face turned red, and he explained hesitantly: "I have only been in the capital for more than a month. Apart from these people, I don't have any other friends..."
Halfway through his speech, he quickly changed his words and said, "But since my nephew has said so, I will have less contact with them in the future."
Seeing his fearful look, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but smile and said, "From now on, when uncle is in charge of Wangjiang Tower, he will naturally have no shortage of friends."
Xing Zhong was very surprised when he heard this: "Sitting in Wangjiang Tower?"
"Exactly."
Sun Shaozong said, "I bought a stake here, but I'm too lazy to take care of it, so I want to ask my uncle to help look after it. The shopkeeper is responsible for welcoming and seeing off guests on weekdays, so there's no need for my uncle to come forward."
"You just need to manage a few private rooms. Who can enter and who can't enter, who to rent to and who not to rent to, will all be decided by my uncle."
When Xing Zhong heard this, he felt his blood boiling.
Although he was not shrewd, he was used to doing business after all. He knew that although this power seemed insignificant, according to the current popularity of Wangjiang Tower, those who were qualified to book these private rooms must be either rich or noble.
If I get this job, there will be real benefits in terms of money and real gold, not to mention the opportunity to expand my network in Beijing.
It turned out to be a good bet to hand my daughter over to Sun Jia Erlang!
But when he thought of his daughter, he couldn't help but feel worried, and said in amazement: "This is of course very good, but Xiu Yan once said in front of my sister that she would never give my nephew any benefits..."
"This is the benefit I asked my uncle for help, how do I calculate it?"
Sun Shaozong asked in a surprised tone, and then did not allow Xing Zhong to hesitate any longer, and said directly: "Uncle, don't be in a hurry to leave tonight. I will take you to see Mr. Jiang and finalize this matter while it is hot."
This time, Xing Zhong hesitated for a moment, then nodded excitedly in response.
