Chapter 159 is still in shock
"Sis, look over there!"
"Ok??"
"That's Miss Hong from the Hong Clan Chamber of Commerce!" Song Yun nudged her sister. "You'd better hurry, or Uncle Fengxian might fall for her. You need to be on high alert..."
boom! !
Another brutal beating.
"You little brat, are you trying to sell me out?" Song Yunjin raised her fist. "If that's the case, you're not allowed to say it again. As for the military expenses... I'll think of another way."
"What do you mean by 'selling'? I mean helping you make connections. Uncle Fengxian is a Heavenly Rank expert, and he's incredibly wealthy. He's practically my ideal sister-in-law!"
"Let's go, let's go say hello to my future brother-in-law."
After saying that, Song Yunqi pulled Song Yunjin over.
Seeing this, Kong Fan's mind raced.
"Times have changed. The Lü family has now aligned itself with the Hong Clan Chamber of Commerce, and their future is limitless..."
Ugh……
It seems my vision and determination are far inferior to my father's…”
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. Looking at Kong Xinxin, who was inexplicably annoyed, he sighed again.
"Hmph..." Kong Xinxin gritted her teeth and drank her tea in silence. "The Hong Clan Chamber of Commerce is rich and powerful, but they are just businessmen!"
Moreover, this Miss Hong is just a person in charge of Nanzhou. There are countless other members of the Hong family like her!
Lü Fengxian, it seems this is your most trump card. A mere businesswoman, what good is her wealth? I…”
Suddenly, she could no longer continue speaking.
Because... she seemed to have no leverage to look down on these so-called "minors".
"Kong Xinxin, I absolutely 'love' you to death." Lü Fengxian glanced behind her. "You'd better keep it up and resent me. The more you resent me, the better my harvest will be, hehehehe..."
"Distinguished guests from the Gu family of Nanzhou have arrived!"
The Gu family of Nanzhou congratulates her with 250 million gold coins, and Dean Gu of the Nanzhou Martial Arts Academy congratulates her with 100,000 gold coins!
Xu Jiansheng, He Wuqianjin
Mr. Cheng, instructor of the Martial Arts Academy, congratulates you on receiving 250 gold coins…
Upon hearing this, Kong Xinxin inexplicably gained confidence.
"The Gu family? The dean?"
ha?
This is hilarious! It seems Lü Fengxian really has no one else to ask, she even had to call on the instructors from the Mecha Martial Arts Academy to help her out…
"Hmph, what can these few people possibly be worth? Compared to the high-ranking officials of my Kong family clan in the court, they're nothing but ants..."
Boom!
Boom! !
Boom! ! !
The majestic sound of bells rang out, signaling the arrival of the imperial delegation's flying boat.
call--
As the plane landed slowly, the honor guard and officials from the six ministries marched out in a solemn procession.
"The imperial delegation has arrived! All bystanders, please step aside!"
"The imperial delegation has arrived! All bystanders, please step aside!"
Two eunuchs holding ceremonial fans shouted loudly.
At this moment, the Lü family stood in neat rows before the delegation, bowing respectfully. "The Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, Lü Zhongying of the Lü family, leading the direct descendants of the Lü family, respectfully welcomes the envoy!"
"Lord Lü, it's been a long time." Eunuch Lin stepped forward from the end of the line.
"Your subject," Lü Zhongying bowed respectfully, "Lü Zhongying greets the Grand Eunuch..."
"No, Lord Lü, you mustn't be so polite," Eunuch Lin said with a smile, his eyes half-closed and half-open. "I am carrying an imperial decree and cannot help you. Please, no need for formalities..."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lü Fengxian.
"This handsome young man with striking features and a commanding presence must be Young Master Lü Fengxian, right?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, this is indeed my son, Lü Fengxian."
"Lu Fengxian greets the Grand Eunuch." Lu Fengxian politely bowed, thinking to herself, "If I weren't afraid of gossip, I would never bow to a eunuch like you..."
"Quickly, no need for formalities..." Eunuch Lin's smile widened. "Young Master Lü is truly a man of exceptional talent, a dragon among men, and truly extraordinary!"
Lu Fengxian cupped her hands in greeting, "You flatter me, Grand Eunuch."
"That's good, he's humble..."
Eunuch Lin paused for a moment, then asked, "Is everything prepared, including the sealing jar and incense table?"
"Everything is ready, this way please..."
Then, Eunuch Lin nodded and walked toward the sealing altar accompanied by the honor guard.
It can be described as having a very high-class feel.
At this moment, all the guests stood up respectfully, their faces solemn.
"Huh?" Kong Xinxin was completely shocked. "Red...red-robed official? Father, as the lord of a city, you can only wear a green robe..."
Why! ?
Why are so many high-ranking officials in red robes attending a mere ceremony to bestow titles upon Lü Fengxian?
"Ah!!" She frantically pulled at her hair.
Kong Fan grabbed her shoulder and said, "You better behave yourself and don't mess around in this situation!"
at the same time…
The outer courtyard of the Lü family home, and the back kitchen courtyard.
"Hurry up!"
We must have 250 plates of cold dishes ready before the auspicious time!
Under the head chef's direction, the entire courtyard was bustling with orderly activity, as plates of cold dishes were carried into the preparation area by maids.
"Xiao Ye, don't you dare steal any food!" The head chef grabbed Niu Xiao Ye by the back of the neck. "These are all for the conferment banquet. The young master has strictly forbidden you from stealing any food, especially you!"
"Hmph..." Niu Xiaoye crossed her arms, looking displeased, and flailed her delicate feet wildly.
Immediately afterwards, the head chef looked at a new maid who looked unfamiliar and said, "Xiao Zhan, go and see if you need any help in the food preparation area."
“Okay.” Sun Xiaozhan nodded.
……
Leaving that aside for now, let's turn our attention to the sealing altar.
"Grand Eunuch, and esteemed gentlemen," Lü Zhongying bowed, "please rest for a moment, the auspicious time is still a little while away..."
At this moment, the two from the Lower Domain Kingdom slowly arrived at the venue with Da Meng.
"It seems the awarding ceremony is about to begin. We've arrived just in time..."
Naira looked around and thought, "As expected of the Heavenly Capital Kingdom, which values etiquette and is the most respected among all the kingdoms, even the bestowal of a title upon a mere mortal is done with such grand ceremony!"
"Hurry, hurry, hopefully we can still make it..."
Zhang Dagui and two bald men followed closely behind.
"Miss Naira from the Samarin family of the Lower Realm Kingdom presents a gift of ten million gold coins, along with a cat-eared demon slave!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guests all started discussing it.
"A lower realm country?"
"The Samarin family? Could they be the legendary wealthiest family in the Lower Realm?!"
"Demon slave?"
The barbarians were indeed satisfied, and they even used a demon slave as a congratulatory gift!
But...she's so cute!
"Young Master Lü is truly enviable!" a certain LSP exclaimed.
"Heh, I knew it!" Kong Xinxin's lips curled into a cold smile. "As expected, you have no one else to rely on. You've even brought in a barbarian. By now, you should have revealed all your trump cards..."
"Ha ha……"
Although he was secretly laughing to himself, his face looked slightly ferocious.
"Damn it, why am I always one step behind them!" Zhang Dagui gritted his teeth as he looked at the two from the Lower Domain Kingdom who were keeping accounts in the accounting room. "Doesn't this make my congratulatory gift seem insincere..."
The first person to send a demon slave was considered innovative.
The second person to send a demon slave was called "copying homework".
"Huh?" Lü Fengxian turned around and thought to herself, "A cow-eared cat girl? Could she really be 'sick' like a cow cat? What if she destroys the house?"
Well, never mind, we can just reinforce the formation...
