"Aiya! When are we going to receive guests!"
"That's right! We've already waited for so long."
"I sent a visiting card three days ago, but there's still no reply.”
"What is this? I sent a visiting card ten days ago, but there hasn't been a reply yet.”
"Sigh! This Lu Gong has been in Pei County for more than half a month, but he doesn't see anyone. Isn't he fishing for fame?”
"If we don't see each other again, we won't visit in the future.”
……
At the entrance of the Lu Residence, many of Pei County's renowned squires gathered once again. They were discussing with each other. It was obvious that their patience had been worn out over the past few days.
If Lu Gong still did not receive them, it would mean that he did not give them face, although he would not do so openly.
However, if Duke Lu wanted to develop in the future, it was certain that he would make things difficult for them. After all, they had been blocked outside the door when they came to visit. It would be a lie to say that they were not angry.
"Geji!"
At this moment, the main door of the Lu Residence suddenly opened.
"Sigh! Look, the door is open."
Isn't that Wine God Young Master?"
"Young Master Jiu Xian, will this Lu Gong see us or not? No matter what, you have to give me an answer!"
"That's right! That's right!"
……
When the door opened, the local tycoons immediately perked up, but when they saw Xiao Han, they were a little disappointed.
Although Xiao Han was regarded as the Wine God's Young Master by Pei County, he was not famous outside the county. To these local tycoons, he could not be compared to the world-famous Lu Gong.
However, since Xiao Han was a guest of the Lu Residence and often went in and out of the Lu Residence, it was necessary to ask him.
"Everyone, calm down."
"As everyone knows, Duke Lu encountered bandits on his way to Pei County. He was injured and was not feeling well, which is why he was unable to receive guests.”
"That's why I'm here to apologize to everyone. I'm really sorry.”
Xiao Han went out and asked everyone to be quiet. Then he found an excuse for Master Lu, saying that Master Lu could not meet guests because he was not feeling well, not because he looked down on them, and asked him to apologize to everyone.
This explained why Lord Lu hadn't received any guests, and also let everyone know that Lord Lu felt guilty.
These words were flawless, and it immediately eased the originally irritable attitude of the crowd.
"But we can't wait forever!”
A squire stepped forward and said.
They could understand that Lord Lu could not meet guests. After all, they knew that Lord Lu was attacked by bandits. It was not surprising that Lord Lu's body could not take it because of his old age.
But he couldn't just let them wait like this forever!
"I understand, and so does Duke Lu. That's why he asked me to come out and inform everyone that he will be holding a feast at the Lu Residence on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the Double Ninth Festival.”
"However, the seats in the Lu Residence are limited, so I have come up with a plan. Everyone can choose a seat according to their ability. The price will go from high to low. The closer you are to Duke Lu, the higher the price.”
"Why is that? Because you can not only see Lu Gong, but you can also talk to him, discuss academics, and even shake his hand.”
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't see him this time. There will still be opportunities in the future. After all, Duke Lu lives here.”
After Xiao Han obtained everyone's understanding, he threw out the Double Ninth Festival banquet and said that he would meet them together. His words were also flawless.
"Hahahaha!"
Hearing Xiao Han's words, all the local tycoons present laughed. The atmosphere immediately became lively. Xiao Han also took the opportunity to unfurl the seating map that he had prepared.
"Yes! Alright, that's not bad. I support it. I'll buy one.”
"I support it too. I'll buy one."
"I'll buy one too."
……
When the local tycoons saw the seats, they saw that the prices were different. If you had more money, you could buy the seats in front, and if you had less money, you could buy the seats in the back. All of them could enter and see Lu Gong. They would not say that they would not allow anyone to enter.
As for those who had no money, hehe, how could they be called local tycoons if they had no money?
Even if he really did not have money, he would not say it. Whoever said that he did not have money in front of the other local tycoons would definitely be laughed at. Besides, Lu Gong would not run away. If you did not have money, you could just wait until after the banquet.
Just like that, Xiao Han used a few tricks to let all the visiting local tyrants achieve their goals and return satisfied.
Soon, the seats were settled. Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Xiao Han handed over the trivial matters to the butler and turned around to return to the Lu residence.
The butler couldn't say anything. After all, Xiao Han was a guest. It was already good enough for him to come out and help. The rest of the things could be handled by the servants.
"Duke Lu, what do you think?”
Xiao Han entered the hall and smiled at Duke Lu.
"Good, this is great. I didn't expect that Young Master Xiao could come up with this idea of selling seats.”
Master Lu stroked his beard and nodded, revealing a satisfied smile.
Xiao Han might have just gone out for a while and said a few words.
However, not only did his few words satisfy all the local tycoons, but he also volunteered to pay for the Lu residence. It was simply amazing.
If this matter was done by someone else, even if they paid money, they would not be satisfied with these angry squires, let alone take the initiative to pay.
"Then I'll go play with Su 'er."
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Xiao Han prepared to look for Lu Su to improve their relationship.
"Young Master Xiao!"
At this moment, a servant walked in quickly and said.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem with the squire?”
Xiao Han was a little confused. The matter should have been settled, so why was he still looking for him?
"No, there's a man outside saying that he's from your hometown and wants to visit you.”
The servant quickly told him what had happened. As soon as Xiao Han returned to the manor, a young man came to his door and said that he was from the same hometown as Xiao Han.
Xiao Han was the most distinguished guest of the Lu Residence. Since he was Xiao Han's fellow countryman, he naturally did not dare to neglect him. He came over in such a hurry to report.
"Hey, Brother Xiao Han, I'm also from the 21st century. We're from the same hometown!”
Yi Xiaochuan took the opportunity when the servant came to report and followed him in. He shouted at Xiao Han in the hall.
"Hey, hey! Didn't I tell you to wait at the door? Why did you barge in?"
The servant hurriedly stopped Yi Xiaochuan.

Looking at these two choices, Xiao Han sneered. Many people wanted to get close to the main character, Yi Xiaochuan, but Xiao Han scoffed at them.
No matter how he did, he, Xiao Han, would never become sworn brothers with Yi Xiaochuan.
