The next day.

Guo Dan got up early and was preparing to go to Jinyulou to negotiate, but just after leaving his own courtyard, he met the butler Kou Yi.

"Son-in-law, where are you going?"

Kou Yi asked.

"Go to Jinyulou to discuss business!" Guo Dan smiled.

Kou Yi hurriedly reminded: "Son-in-law, you are not talking about business, you are just learning experience."

Haha, this housekeeper is really dedicated and a good housekeeper. Guo Dan gave full marks on Kou Yi's professional qualities. In view of Guo Dan's previous deeds, he could understand Kou Yi's concern and nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm just going to learn."

Kou Yi said again: "But it's still early now!"

Guo Dan said: "I've been bored at home for a few days and want to go out for a walk."

Kou Yi said oh, and said a little worriedly: "Son-in-law, you will... then..."

"I know, talk less and listen more."

Guo Dan patted his shoulder with a little comfort, and then walked towards the door.

Kou Yi looked at his shoulder for no reason, and when he came to his senses, Guo Dan was already out.

The Kou family's mansion is in the most prosperous area in Nancheng. After leaving the gate and walking through two alleys, Guo Dan came to the bustling Mashi Street. Although it was still early now, the street was already full of traffic, with shops and buildings on both sides of the road lined up one after another. It looked like a prosperous era, but from the historical process, it was now the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Guo Dan was not very interested in history. He had only had a strong interest in money before, but he had also read history books and still had some understanding of it, so he felt it was more novel and wanted to know how his ancestors lived. His mentality at this time was not for employment, but more like he was coming to travel.

The result surprised him a little because he found that the business in the Ming Dynasty was very developed and everything was sold in the market. Although there was no capitalism, the commodity economy was already relatively developed.

After wandering around for a while, Guo Dan saw that the time was almost done, so he went to Jinyu Tower.

After a stick of incense, he came to the front of a three-story, very grand building.

"It's here."

Guo Dan looked up at the plaque hanging on the eaves of the second floor, with three big words "Jinyu Tower" written on it.

Behind the Jinyu Tower is a lush and green, full of flowers, plants and trees, with rockery, and it is said that there is an artificial lake in the middle. In this downtown, the scenery is even more charming and rare.

Just as he was about to enter, a twelve or thirteen-year-old beggar suddenly ran over and held a broken bowl, "Big brother, give me some charity. I haven't eaten for a day."

"Oh, wait a moment."

Guo Dan quickly took out two cents of silver from his purse and threw it into the bowl.

Silver? The little beggar suddenly opened his eyes, as if he couldn't believe it.

Guo Dan didn't care about him either. This was just a habit. In the past, if a beggar took the initiative to ask him for money, he would usually give it some, because he felt that spending the change on the beggar would be more valuable. Otherwise, it would be cheaper for those dry cleaning shops and walked straight to the gate of Jinyulou. However, after just two steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back. Seeing that the little beggar was still dazed there, his eyes suddenly flashed a few times, as if he was thinking about something.

The little beggar suddenly noticed that Guo Dan was looking at him, and hurriedly ran over and asked, "Big brother, are you giving more?"

"No, that's not." Guo Dan smiled awkwardly and asked again: "You said before that you haven't had a meal for a day?"

The little beggar nodded.

Guo Dan said: "Then you go and wait behind, and I will get some food for you later."

"Really?"

The little beggar said excitedly.

"Wait."

After saying that, Guo Dan stepped into the Golden Jade Tower.

"Customer, please come in."

A handsome young man in front of the door hurriedly met Guo Dan.

When Guo Dan was observing, he knew that there was a handsome man standing in front of the big restaurant to welcome the guests.

"Son-in-law of the Kou family?"

The shopkeeper in the building was surprised when he saw Guo Dan and said, "Guo Tongsheng, you seem to have come earlier, our boss..."

Guo Dan did not pass the scholar, but after the children's examination, he was qualified to pass the scholar. Such people are generally called Tongsheng, but few people call others Tongsheng because this is a little too low-level, so whether outsiders call him the son-in-law of the Kou family or Guo Tongsheng, it is a satirical way.

Guo Dan came to the counter and interrupted him, "I don't miss your Jinyulou food, so I'm just coming soon. You can give me a few of your signature dishes first. I haven't eaten breakfast now."

The shopkeeper didn't say much when he heard this, and immediately called a bartender.

The bartender took Guo Dan to the second floor. Since it was still early, there were not many guests in the restaurant. Guo Dan picked a seat by the window and sat down. While serving, he raised his eyes to look at the interior decoration.

The Jinyulou gives Guo Dan the feeling that it is not like a restaurant in the pure sense, but more like a club, because it seems to contain a theme. The dining tables here are not neatly arranged, but are arranged in an orderly manner, with copywriting, piano tables, and four treasures of the study everywhere, and whether it is the walls, beams and pillars, they are full of poems and articles.

The sense of art is overwhelming.

Guo Dan nodded in admiration, only to feel that the Jinyu Tower could have such a scale, it was definitely not up to those who were left-wingers.

Soon, three dishes were served, one roasted goose, one bamboo shoot, and one yam soup.

The dishes are very exquisite. You should know that Guo Dan did not order dishes before, but they did not serve a few more dishes. This is just one or two people. It can be seen that Jinyulou is really unique and has its own style.

Guo Dan actually had breakfast, and he was trying it more. He felt that although these dishes were very delicate, the taste was not as bright as that, and the aftertaste was endless. It can only be said to be average.

Suddenly, a cheerful laugh came from the upper floor, and then I saw a middle-aged man in his forties, straight waist and a young man with a sharp look and a handsome and handsome man who was a little older than Guo Dan.

These two are Zhou Feng, the owner of Jinyulou, and Liu Chengbian, the eldest son of the Liu family.

The shopkeeper just now followed them and went up the second floor, so he pointed his hand at Guo Dan.

When Liu Chengbian saw Guo Dan, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Zhou Feng just nodded slightly, and then walked to the third floor with Liu Chengbian. It can be seen how despised Guo Dan is.

The shopkeeper came to Guo Dan’s table and said, “Guo Tongsheng, my master invited you to come.”

"But I haven't had enough food yet!"

Guo Dan pretended to be depressed.

The shopkeeper was so depressed. Are you here to discuss business or have a meal? However, given that Guo Dan’s reputation is beyond his reach, he didn’t think it was very inappropriate. He just said, “After the talks, my master will definitely host a banquet for the young master.”

But it may not be. Guo Dan pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying, "Well, you wrap these dishes for me and I'll take them back for food, don't waste it."

The shopkeeper was speechless, but he nodded and agreed.

Guo Dan then went to the third floor with him.

The pants on the third floor are even taller, with no chairs, only seat cushions, forming a circle, the middle is empty, and there is a faint fragrance in the air. I believe that singing girls usually come here to perform to cheer up, and those slutty literati cannot be without girls.

"Zhou Yuanwai, Brother Liu."

Guo Dan bowed to the two of them with a stern look.

Liu Chengbian also stood up and bowed, "Brother Guo, don't be fine."

Zhou Feng just reached out and said, "Guo Tongsheng, please sit down."

In Guo Dan's impression, Liu Chengbian respected him more on the surface and always called him a virtuous brother. But Guo Dan knew that Liu Chengbian actually looked down on him, but the two of them were not on the same level.

After Guo Dan sat down, Zhou Feng said, "You two should know why I invite you to come today. Then I will go straight to the point. What can you do to help me buy Chenlou?"

Liu Chengbian smiled at Guo Dan and said, "I wonder what Brother Guo Xian is thinking?"

My idea is not to make money from your errands. Guo Dan pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Brother Liu said it first."

Liu Chengbian smiled and said, "Brother Yu has just told the official to tell him some ideas about our Liu family, so you can say it's okay."

Zhou Feng nodded and looked at Guo Dan.

No, don’t you even give me a chance to study? Didn’t you intend to anger my father-in-law to death? Guo Tan’s face showed a depressed look.

Liu Chengbian asked, "Doesn't you have any hidden secrets in your words?"

Guo Dan said honestly: "I will not hide it from Brother Liu. My father-in-law once reminded me several times to come here, and listen more and talk less, or even not talk."

Zhou Feng and Liu Chengbian immediately understood when they heard this.

Liu Chengbian showed a little slight pride, and Kou Shouxin made him not speak, obviously he didn't plan to compete with their Liu family.

Zhou Feng snorted, "You Kou family really sees us Mr. Zhou!"

Guo Dan pretended not to understand and looked at Zhou Feng blankly.

Zhou Feng waved his hand and said, "Since you have nothing to say, then you can go back first."

"oh."

Guo Dan immediately stood up, bowed and said, "Goodbye to me, brother Liu, brother Yu."

This was the case with Guo Dan in the past, very dull. If someone asks him to leave, he will really leave. As a scholar, it is indeed correct to do this. Scholars must always be a little arrogant, but as a businessman, they must have to be thick-skinned and have to fight for it in front of customers. There is no commission for face.

"My brother, go slowly." Liu Chengbian also stood up, bowed and bowed, and suddenly asked, "By the way, I wonder if my brother and sister are going to be fine lately?"

"Neizi is very good!" Guo Dan nodded, "Brother Liu has something to do to find Neizi? If so, I can make an appointment for you."

"ah?"

Liu Chengbian was stunned.

Zhou Feng couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Chengbian looked at Zhou Feng with embarrassment, his handsome face turned red, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, I'm just asking casually."

"oh."
