Chapter 137
September [-]th, the autumn air is crisp and clear, which is a good day for traveling.

Early in the morning, Wang Yang, the largest grain merchant in Suzhou City, received an invitation from the prefect's mansion.

"The opening ceremony of Dongshu Senior Club?"

Wang Yang looked confused, what is a high-end club?Thinking of the tragic experience of being occupied by the "Liu Xuncheng envoy" before, Wang grain merchants can say that he has no good impression of the government.

It won't be another trap, right?It is said that Lu Taishou and Liu Xuncheng envoy are the same.

Wang Yang read the invitation carefully again, and there were a few words on it: "Decline the gift."

Could it be that Prefect Lu just wanted to receive gifts?Oh, the government.

Wang Yang sent his servants to prepare gifts indiscriminately, and then set off to attend the opening ceremony.

According to the invitation, Wang Yang came to a small pier in Suzhou City.I bumped into an acquaintance.

"Hey! Shopkeeper Wang!"

"Boss Du!"

"Look at the invitation card in your hand, could it be you too?"

"Yes, the prefect's mansion posted a post, who dare not go!"

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Wang Yang said in a low voice: "The fate of this trip is uncertain. Do you have any news from Boss Du?"

"I don't know either." Boss Du spread his hands, "It's nothing more than a little blood, and he can still eat us?"

Wang Yang nodded, still feeling uneasy.

At this time, a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi walked up to them with a smile on his face: "Are you two members attending the opening ceremony of the Dongshu Senior Club?"

"Yes."

"Little Ah Fu, under the order of Prefect Lu, I am here to welcome all the bosses. Please come with me."

Wang Du silently followed.

But the servants who were traveling with them were stopped by Ah Fu. Ah Fu said with a smile: "My lord has repeatedly told me to decline the congratulatory gift. In addition, all the bosses will be picked up by the prefect's mansion. Please stay behind."

Wang and Du looked at each other, turned around and sent the servants back.

Boss Du teased: "Brother Wang, this prefect Lu will not kidnap the ticket, right?"

"Yes, there is nothing to be afraid of."

They walked to the pier and saw a painting boat decorated with colorful silk parked in the canal. The boat planks had already been set up.Standing next to them were two enchanting women wearing strange costumes, with their arms and thighs fully exposed, and their body curves also exquisite.

Wang Yang said in surprise: "Hey, isn't that the green willow in Chunfeng Building? Didn't it mean that Chunfeng Building has been converted into a theater, and seeing her like this, why is she back to her old business?"

"Brother Wang, you don't know that this dress is called the Bliss Robe, which is a new thing from Donghai County. It is said that the noble ladies in Donghai County wear this at home."

"Really?" Wang Yang stared at Luliu intently, "So, I have to buy a set for my wives and concubines at home."

"Hey! Shopkeeper Wang, why do you have a nosebleed!"

Wang Yang was embarrassed.

At this moment Ah Fu appeared at the right time, handed Wang Yang a silk handkerchief, and guided them onto the boat before turning around and leaving.

The painting boat is luxuriously decorated, and there are several young men in green clothes serving in the cabin.

"Boss, please take a seat."

Wang Yang wiped away the nosebleed and sat opposite Boss Du, with an ebony coffee table in the middle.

The young servant in Tsing Yi immediately offered tea.

The tea water is clear and the tea leaves are green, which is very different from the cloudy tea soup that was popular in the previous dynasty.Even the decoration on the teacup is very elegant, Wang Yang couldn't help but nodded.

At this time, fried tea has become popular, and Wang Yang knows a little bit about it.He stretched out his hands to pinch the teacup, the temperature was moderate, and he took a sip, leaving the fragrance on his lips and teeth.

"Good, good tea!"

The seats are upholstered in cashmere, soft and comfortable.Coupled with the unique fragrance that filled the cabin, Wang Yang's nervous mood relaxed.

Soon, three more guests came on the boat. They were all well-known wealthy businessmen in Suzhou.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone quietly discussed the intentions of Prefect Lu, but none of them were quite clear.

At this time, the boat left the shore and headed east of the city along the canal.

Wang Yang wondered: "Wait for no one? I see there are still many guests on the shore?"

The young man in Tsing Yi explained: "Bosses, my master has explained it. If a painting boat carries too many people, the comfort will be reduced. Don't worry, there are more than a dozen such boats, which are enough to transport today's distinguished guests. .”

The bosses calmed down a little, and turned to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the canal.

An hour later, the boat docked at the outskirts of the city. As soon as Wang Yang and the others landed, there was already a carriage on the side of the road to meet them.Not only are there young servants in Tsing Yi waiting here, but even the drivers driving the carriages are very polite.

After another quarter of an hour's car ride, I finally arrived at the gate of Dongshu.

This garden was originally a masterpiece of Suzhou gardens, and Wang Yang was once invited to come here.However, the current appearance of Dongshu is somewhat different from what Wang Yang remembered.

I saw lanterns and festoons in front of the round gate, and the plaques above were covered with red cloth.

There is also a colorful silk hanging in the middle of the door, and an hydrangea hanging in the middle.Two rows of beautiful women in bliss robes stood on either side, looking dignified.

Wang Yang took a closer look, at least half of them were old acquaintances of Chunfenglou.My memory is full of vulgar fans, why do I look beautiful and confident now, and still have a feeling that I can only watch from a distance and not play with it?
The young prefect Lu hurried over in casual clothes, and greeted everyone from afar: "It's a great honor for you, bosses, to visit you."

Everyone returned the salute one after another, thinking that the prefect seemed quite kind, it seemed that the rumors were not true.

"Wait a moment, everyone, the ceremony will begin soon."

At this time, carriages arrived one after another, and in just one cup of tea, 42 gentry and celebrities gathered.

When everyone saw this battle, they felt that it was new, and there were many discussions.

Under the guidance of a dozen young men in green clothes, the crowd stood in a row on the grass.Lu Yuan lowered his voice, and said loudly: "Everyone, I am Lu Yuan, the Acting Governor of Suzhou! I was busy with work a few days ago, so I couldn't visit the homes of various gentry and celebrities. Please forgive me. Some people must have known me already, and rumors about me He is eight feet tall, and his waist is also eight feet. And he is extremely hostile to the rich, and he ransacks his home and destroys his family at every turn."

"System: Host, isn't it?"

Lu Yuan ignored her and continued: "Actually, I am also a businessman myself. Before I became an official, I was the richest man in Donghai County. Why should I hate the rich?"

Everyone quieted down and listened to him quietly.

"Our Lu family has a group motto, which is called 'Everyone is rich only when they are truly rich'. We, the Lu family, are willing to work hand in hand with all of you to make a fortune together." After Lu Yuan fudged a few words, he turned around and pointed at the Dongshu Gate, " Everyone, please see, this is the shining pearl in Suzhou gardens, the East Villa. The Suzhou government office signed a lease in a cordial and friendly atmosphere with Cai Daxun’s widow. Within ten years, the right to use the East Villa will belong to the government office. I was thinking that this garden should be open and shared with everyone. So I worked hard to plan and establish the first high-end private club in Jiangnan and even Daxia Kingdom. Please witness the history of this ribbon-cutting A sexual moment!”

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he picked up the paper-cuts presented by the people around him, cut off the colored silk in front of the gate of Dongshu, and at the same time pulled off the red cloth covering the plaque of the gate of Dongshu, revealing four large characters: "Heaven and Earth".
