"The Lu Family!" Meton frowned. According to the intelligence of the Mo Family's village, the Lu Family was probably the one who attacked the Mo Family's business the most in Luoyang City. However, he met Lu Shuang for the first time and did not have much interaction with the Lu Family. He did not expect that the Lu Family would be so hostile to him.
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Lu. Although the Mo Family Village has encountered some small problems, it's nothing more than a small itch. I didn't think that Brother Lu would be more anxious than I am." Modun sneered.
Lu Shuang's face stiffened and she could not help but snort. Chai Lingwu leaned over and whispered, "Brother Mo, you have made a lot of trouble. The Lu Family had an engagement with Miss Zheng when they were young. However, because of Brother Mo, the imperial court changed the marriage law. Originally, the two families could have rearranged the engagement, but Miss Zheng was not willing to do so. The engagement was completely broken."
"Ah!" Only now did Moton understand where this unexpected disaster had come from.
"Miss Zheng is Zheng Chang's younger sister. She is the lineal daughter of the Zheng Family. She is extremely beautiful. Look, the one beside Changle. If I had not been engaged to Princess Baling, I would have been attracted to her. Now, Miss Zheng has come to Chang 'an City for sightseeing, and Brother Lu has just come along. I didn't expect to see Brother Mo, so I naturally feel a little resentful." Chai Lingwu pointed at a beautiful woman in a mink coat beside him and said with a smile.
Meton turned his head and looked at her. Her appearance was indeed stunning. No wonder Lu Shuang could not forget her.
Zheng Chang and Lu Shuang were best friends. Seeing this, he quickly stood up and mediated. "It's just a few small businesses. Brother Mo has dealt with a lot of money. He raised the money for the flood in Shandong and built the silk system of the Tang dynasty. What he has done is a big deal. How can he take such a small thing to heart?"
"Of course. A few days ago, I tried my best to invite Brother Mo to join the Western Region Merchant Association and get 10% of the shares, yet Brother Mo wasn't moved in the slightest. Such bearing is something that ordinary people can't compare to." Chai Lingwu laughed loudly.
Naturally, everyone had heard about the Western Region Chamber of Commerce, and the profits from the Silk Road were even more well-known. Ten percent of the shares was an extremely large sum of wealth in the future. The fact that Meton could remain unmoved was indeed impressive.
The women at the side also couldn't help but cast inquisitive gazes.
"Hahaha, Brother Mo, you have the ability to turn stone into gold. How can the Village of Mo be difficult for you? I've worried too much. "Lu Shuang lowered her head and admitted defeat, but anyone could hear the unwillingness in her voice.
"Of course. As long as Brother Merton asks, my promise is always valid. Even if it's the situation of the Village Mo, as long as Merton asks, my Guanlong Family will help Brother Merton!" Chai Lingwu said with a righteous look.
"If I have to trouble the Guanlong Family for such a small matter, wouldn't it be like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?" Meton laughed.
The current situation of the Village of Mo wasn't without the Guanlong Family behind it. As long as the Village of Mo asked for help from the Guanlong Family, they would definitely be controlled by the Guanlong Family. It would be impossible for the Village of Mo to maintain its independence.
Chai Lingwu suddenly felt a wave of disappointment, but he quickly concealed it. He believed that as long as the Village of Mo couldn't hold on, there would be a day when they would ask him for help.
"I also want to see the ability of the Village of Mo." Lu Shuang and the others said.
"Alright, today I invited everyone to the Hibiscus Garden to recite poems and taste wine. Let's not talk about these troublesome matters anymore." Chai Lingwu waved his hand and said.
"That's true!" The group of people said one after another.
"It's not suitable for us to drink to our heart's content today. That's the best wine in the world. Today, we are just here to have a drink. I have specially found grape wine from the Western Region. Please have a taste! "Chai Lingwu waved his hand, and immediately, the servants presented jars of precious grape wine from the Western Region.
Meton suddenly realized that today's banquet wasn't as simple as it seemed. Chai Lingwu was probably looking for a market for the Western Region Chamber of Commerce, and most of the market in Shandong was controlled by the Shandong Aristocratic Families.
"It's really good wine!"
Cups of bright red grape wine emitted bursts of wine fragrance. Paired with the top-grade delicacies, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
Most of the people from the Aristocratic Families were knowledgeable people, and not some useless people. Especially in front of the ladies of the Aristocratic Families, they tried their best to perform.
In front of the beautiful scenery and wine, the Aristocratic Families' young masters were in the mood to write poems. In particular, Lu Shuang wrote two poems consecutively, taking the opportunity to express her feelings for the Zheng Clan's Young Miss. She immediately won the applause of the entire banquet. She couldn't help but look at the Zheng Clan's Young Miss proudly. However, she didn't get any response, and she couldn't help but feel vexed.
This caused the ladies of the Aristocratic Families to snicker. The Zheng Clan's Young Miss couldn't help but snort coldly and say, "Back then, Merton wrote 'Yuanxi', 'Yanqiu Ci', and 'Ten Li of Red Makeup' to express his deep feelings for Elder Sister Changle. With such a gem in front of you, writing poems in front of Merton is simply displaying your slight skill before an expert."
When Meton heard this voice, he couldn't help but feel shocked. However, he couldn't recall when he had met the Zheng Clan's Young Miss before.
"That's right. Who wants to listen to your lousy poems? If they want to listen, they have to listen to Merton's." The other ladies of the Aristocratic Families clamored.
Lu Shuang and the others couldn't help but feel embarrassed. They had written poems consecutively but neglected Meton. They were probably afraid that they would feel embarrassed. Unexpectedly, the Zheng Clan's Young Miss pointed it out on the spot.
Chai Lingwu laughed and tried to smooth things over. "Isn't it still not Brother Mo's turn yet?"
"That's right. Brother Mo's talent in poetry is well-known throughout the world. We are also looking forward to it." Zheng Chang also looked forward to it. Regardless of their prejudice against Meton, they had to admit that Meton's talent in poetry was recognized by the world.
Meton shook his head, not wanting to be in the limelight. He said, "This little brother has already been out of school for close to a year. I'm afraid that I'm already rusty when it comes to writing poems. Please forgive me."
"Brother Mo is busy. We can understand!" Chai Lingwu heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't want to embarrass Lu Shuang and the others. After all, he still needed their help in the Shandong market in the future.
However, he didn't expect Lu Shuang to be unforgiving. She said, "Could it be that Brother Mo's poems are endless? Yet, you are pushing it away now. Could it be that you are not giving us face?"
Meton's hand paused. He didn't expect Lu Shuang to press on. His expression immediately turned cold. He thought of something and said, "I'm not being humble. It's just that the poems I wrote recently all have a hidden secret."
"Hidden secret!"
After Modun finished speaking, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Meton nodded solemnly and said, "I don't know why, but the poems I wrote seem to be advertising for the Village of Mo. However, I have already decided not to interfere in the affairs of the Village of Mo. This is not good!"
Chai Lingwu suddenly looked at each other and couldn't help but recall that the Village of Mo used a peerless poem to advertise the Village of Mo's Snow Salt and Gourmet City of Mo's Gourmet City. At that time, many people in the poetry circle of Chang 'an City went on a crusade against it and almost caused public outrage.
"Then we will look forward to it!" Lu Shuang said maliciously.
Chai Lingwu suddenly felt that something was wrong. After all, Brother Mo's advertising poem was a peerless masterpiece! If something went wrong, all their previous efforts would be in vain. However, he couldn't stop it at this time.
Hearing this, Meton suddenly showed a mysterious smile. He waved his hand and made a gesture to Tie An, who was waiting by the side.
Soon, Tie An took out an exquisite brocade box from the carriage that was waiting outside.
Under the astonishment of the crowd, Meton opened the brocade box. There were six beautifully packaged glass wine glasses.
"This is the Mo's Glass Ink Technique!" Chai Lingwu was shocked and his eyes shone as if he had seen a peerless treasure.
Meton nodded and said, "This is the latest product of the Village of Mo's Village, the glass wine set. It is crystal clear, without a trace of impurity. It is a rare fine product in the world. In my opinion, this glass is the perfect match for the grape wine of the Western Region. "
The bright red grape wine was poured into the crystal clear glass. Meton raised the glass high, and the wine in the glass was clearly visible. Meton drank it up, and the crowd could clearly see the wine flowing into Meton's mouth.
Meton drank three glasses in a row and said with great enthusiasm, "The grape wine is in a luminous glass, the pipa urges me to drink, lying drunk on the battlefield do not laugh. Since ancient times, how many people have returned from the battle?"
"Good poem!"
All of the young ladies of the aristocratic families cheered. Carefully savoring this poem, they could not help but feel carefree and unrestrained. Similarly, Princess Changle gazed lovingly at the heroic Modun. However, she did not notice that beside him, the young miss of the Zheng clan was hiding a peculiar expression within her eyes.
"It is indeed a peerless poem!" Chai Lingwu could not help but sigh. As expected, Meton's poem surprised the crowd again. However, Chai Lingwu's attention was focused on the glass glass in Meton's hand. He believed that once the poem spread, the glass wine set would be very popular. This was a great business opportunity. The Village of Mo's Village would not give up the market in the Tang dynasty, but he owned the Chamber of Commerce of the Western Region. If he could send the glass wine set to the Western Region, where grape wine was more popular, it would be worth a lot.
"Can the Chamber of Commerce of the Western Region purchase a batch of this wine set?" Chai Lingwu could not wait to ask.
"Brother Chai, you don't have to ask me for such a small thing. You can just send someone to the Village of Mo's Village." Meton did not care.
"Brother Mo, you are so righteous!" Chai Lingwu was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Brother Chai!" Lu Shuang was dissatisfied. At this moment, they were jointly besieging the Village of Mo's Village, but they did not expect that Chai Lingwu would take the initiative to betray them.
Chai Lingwu smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm happy to see you."
However, it was impossible for him to give up such a profitable thing as the glass products.
Lu Shuang suddenly regretted and wanted to slap herself. She did not expect that Meton had another peerless poem to advertise. This time, she went for wool and came home shorn. Not only did Meton gain the limelight in front of Miss Zheng, but also the Village of Mo's Village had another source of income.
