Chapter 799: Gift From the Jiangdong Family

Gu Quan and Zhu Jing looked at each other, led everyone to walk forward quickly, bowed deeply to Huangfu Chaobo and said: "Greetings, Lord!"

"Please stand up, both family heads! I am sorry to bother you!" Huangfu Chaobo said, and helped them up.

"It is a blessing for all the families in Jiangdong to have the Lord come here in person. How can I say I am bothering you. Lord, please go inside." Gu Quan led everyone to walk inside.

Huangfu Chaobo smiled and walked inside. Gu Quan and Zhu Jing followed him quickly. Dian Wei and Shi A also followed quickly. The head of the Gu family was about to stop the two, but was frightened by Dian Wei's eyes and his legs went weak. He almost sat on the ground.

The aura that suddenly emanated from Dian Wei was felt by Huangfu Chaobo and Zhu Jing in front of him. Huangfu Chaobo just looked back and didn't say anything. Dian Wei has been with him for so many years. He is not a person who doesn't know how to advance and retreat. Since he did so, he must have his reasons.

Zhu Jing was shocked. He was also a military commander. His intuition made him feel that the black man behind him was so strong that he had never seen him before. He was almost certain that the black man had reached the level of the emperor. Moreover, he could also feel the other tall and thin man behind him. Although he was not as tall as the black man, the aura he exuded had also reached the level of the king.

In an instant, Zhu Jing had a deeper understanding of Huangfu Chaobo's strength. At this time, he was already thinking about how to get closer to Huangfu Chaobo.

Under the leadership of Gu Quan, the group entered a waterside attic in the manor. It was already late April, and the weather in Jiangdong was very comfortable, so as long as the weather allowed during the day, it was completely possible to hold a banquet in the attic outside.

It happened that the weather was very good today, so Gu Quan arranged the banquet in the attic. The attic is divided into two floors, the lower floor is larger, enough to hold more than a dozen tables of banquets, and the second floor is smaller, which can only accommodate a few tables.

Huangfu Chaobo and others were arranged on the second floor of the attic. In addition to Gu Quan and Zhu Jing, the banquet was attended by Gu Quan's eldest son Gu Yong and a young general beside Zhu Jing. In addition, there were three Jiangdong families who had dealings with the Gu family. Huangfu Chaobo led Jia Jing and Pang Tong to sit with them.

As for Dian Wei, Shi A and the guards, they were arranged on the first floor of the attic. The Gu family had prepared a banquet, but Dian Wei had the wine removed.

The banquet had not yet started. As soon as they sat down, Gu Quan introduced the people present to Huangfu Chaobo. In addition to Zhu Jing, the head of the Zhu family who had been introduced at the door, the other families were Zheng Xian, the head of the Qu'a Zheng family, Tao Hong, the head of the Dantu Tao family, and He Zhun, the head of the Piling He family.

If Gu, Lu, Zhu and Zhang can be called the four major surnames in Wujun, then the Zheng, Tao and He families can be said to be second-rate and third-rate families that depend on them.

Huangfu Chaobo only nodded and greeted these noble families, but the young general next to Zhu Jing did arouse his interest.

Seeing Huangfu Chaobo looking at the young man next to him with an inquiring look, Zhu Jing quickly stood up and saluted Huangfu Chaobo and said, "Hello, Lord. This is my son Zhu Huan, whose name is Xiumu. He is now a naval commander under Liu Yangzhou. Because he admires the Lord's style, I brought him here to see the Lord's face."

As he said, he said to Zhu Huan, "Rebellious son, you haven't met the Lord yet."

"Zhu Huan has met the Lord." Seeing this, Zhu Huan quickly stood up and saluted Huangfu Chaobo;

He is indeed a famous general in history. You should know that there is more than Zhu Huan in the Jiangdong Zhu family. There is also Zhu Ju, who should be his cousin and a famous general under the Sun family. In addition, Zhu Huan's son is also a famous general in history.

Huangfu Chaobo thought to himself, but smiled and nodded to him, saying: "You are indeed young and promising. You are already a naval commander at such a young age."

Seeing this, the father and son of the Zhu family said repeatedly: "My Lord, you are too kind!"

"There are two generals in the navy under my command, both of whom are no more than 30 years old.

They will visit Xiumu. Xiumu can have a good communication with them when he has time."

Everyone present was stunned. Huangfu Chaobo's words clearly showed his intention to recruit.

Zhu's father and son reacted first. Zhu Jing quickly stood up and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord. But my son is young and can only gain a foothold in Liu Yangzhou's army with the care of his elder brothers. If he goes to the Lord's army, I am afraid that he will miss the Lord's important event. When he is a little more mature and stable in the future, I will definitely let him go to Luoyang to visit the Lord."

Huangfu Chaobo didn't care much about the refusal of Zhu's father and son. As early as when he was with Gu Yong, Huangfu Chaobo knew that these generals in Jiangdong were not easy to recruit, so he just nodded slightly, then sat down and didn't say anything.

When everyone saw that Huangfu Chaobo didn't mention the matter of recruiting again, they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Although Jiangdong people were not afraid of offending him, after all, the two sides were about to have a commercial cooperation. If there were some unpleasant things in this regard, it would not be appropriate after all.

Gu Yong saw this and immediately winked at his father. Gu Quan immediately reacted and signaled the servants to bring up the wine and food immediately.

At the same time, he stood up and took a jar of wine from the maid, filled the glasses of Huangfu Chaobo and the others, and then raised the wine bottle and said: "Come on, everyone, let us toast to the Marquis! We have been very rude before, please forgive us!"

"Cheers to the Marquis!" Everyone stood up and raised their glasses to Huangfu Chaobo;

"Drink to victory!"

After a few rounds of drinking, the atmosphere of the banquet immediately changed. The banquet in the game is not like the one in history, which adopts the system of separate seats, but the system of surrounding seats, so the banquet is a good time for everyone to communicate.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Gu Quan clapped his hands, and saw several maids immediately brought up several plates with several items on them.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on this, Gu Quan said no more and said: "Thank you for your attention, Lord. After discussing with you, I will prepare a small gift. Please accept it!"

As he said, several maids walked lightly to Huangfu Chaobo and raised the plates in front of Huangfu Chaobo.

Huangfu Chaobo was stunned, and quickly reacted. He reached out and took out an item from one of the plates. These were two drawings.

A small sand ship production drawing: a small sand ship of 3,000 stones can be made.

A medium-sized sand ship production drawing: a medium-sized sand ship of 4,500 stones can be made.

Seeing this, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but be overjoyed. As soon as he fell asleep, someone came to send him a greeting. He had just started shipping, and the Gu family actually sent him the production drawings of the sand ship. It's a pity that there are no drawings of the large sand ship of 6,000 stones, but this also solves the problem of Huangfu Chaobo's commercial transportation to Jiangdong.
