"Everyone has weaknesses. As long as you find their weaknesses and cater to their needs, you can succeed." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"You mean Xiao Gai's weakness is eating, drinking, having fun and enjoying the pleasures of life, so why not give him a beautiful woman?" Li Quan said.
“There is no shortage of beautiful women in the family, just look at the servants , they are all beautiful.
Besides, there is no shortage of beauties in the brothels and singing and dancing halls in the provincial capital.
He probably goes there often, so this won’t work.” Tang Wen shook his head.
"Everyone is beautiful, but I don't think they are that good." At this time, Gu Hanyan suddenly interrupted. Obviously, there was a hint of sourness.
"Of course I can't compare with you, but your face, haha." Tang Wen laughed dryly.
"I'm like this. If you don't like it, you can assign me to do other chores. I'm too lazy to see your ugly face every day." Gu Hanyan didn't seem to be fooled.
"Master, he will probably get tired of eating, drinking, smoking and drinking with us alone, and we still won't be able to take over the island," said Luo Yiwu.
“Don’t worry, I’ll stay with him for a few days.
We need to cultivate his hobbies, and then he will be free from wine and delicious food.
A person who loves delicious food will be anxious if he gives up his hobby.
Then, let's talk about the Turtle Island first. So, invite him to our house for a drink in the evening." Tang Wen said.
Sure enough, Xiao Gai arrived early in the evening.
Tang Wen did his best to pick out modern delicacies and asked the chef to prepare them carefully.
"Come here, Lord Xiao, this is grass carp head stewed with caviar, spicy and delicious, try it. Also, this is called boiled duck head, it tastes particularly stimulating, this is called goose liver..."
"Sir, this is salmon, dip it in some sauce and eat it raw, try it."
"Oh, so aggressive."
"Of course I did. It makes me feel better. How do you feel now?"
"It feels so good. It feels like my nose has opened up all of a sudden."
"Sir, this is..."
As expected, Xiao Gai came back drunk, but of course, he had a great time.
Of course, Tang Wen, the guest, was also drunk and fell asleep in a daze.
However, in the middle of the night, he felt someone touching him again. He was so scared that he quickly got up, but still didn't find anything.
So, he fell asleep again while drunk.
However, just as he fell asleep, he felt someone pinching him, and this time Tang Wen felt it very clearly.
So I turned on the light and checked inside and outside, but still found nothing.
The next day, when everyone was gathered together and questioned, Li Quan hesitated for a long time before finally saying that he had seen a ghost again or something.
He was afraid of being laughed at by everyone, so he didn't dare to scream. As a result, he couldn't sleep the whole night. Later, he kept the lights on.
However, Gu Hanyan, Luo Yiwu and the others thought it was an illusion and believed that the master was dreaming after getting drunk.
"Luo Yiwu, send a message back immediately and ask Zhan Dongwen to send a few people over to install some high-definition probes and bring the computers and other equipment over. You arrange for people to take turns watching over them for me at night."
Tonight, Xiao Gai invited Tang Wen to his house again to drink, listen to singing and dancing, and Tang Wen happily went forward.
Of course, he brought a few boxes of red wine, champagne, and some canned food before leaving. When he arrived at his house, he found that several of his friends were sitting at the same table with him.
"Lord Tang, this Li Zitong is my brother.
His father is Li Xinyang, vice president of Linghai Academy.
He is well-known in our Linghai, and his students are all over the world. "
Xiao Gai pointed at a tall, thin, handsome young man who looked like a scholar and introduced him.
“Wei Kang, he is very skilled in martial arts and he is only 27 years old this year.
He is already a sixth-rank expert and passed the military examination last year.
His father, Wei Chengzhong, is the chief clerk of the Six Gates Provincial Hall. Otherwise, who could have taught such a capable son?" He pointed to a young man with a broad waist and strong arms.
"Li Kongfan, son of Li Dechao, the leader of Qianbing Pavilion, and the future young leader.
Nearly 20% of the weapons used by warriors across the province are provided by Qianbao Pavilion.
Even some of the court's weapons were provided by them." Li Kongfan was of medium height, neither fat nor thin, with a slightly pointed nose.
"Sun Tianjun, my father, Sun Hongdong, is the Deputy Provincial Judicial Commissioner." Sun Tianjun was dressed in white, a handsome young man.
"Brother Xiao, why don't you mention yourself? Your family is not low-ranking either. Not to mention anything else, there are few people in Linghai Province who have more silver than you." Sun Tianjun said with a smile.
"What's the use of having more money? We've tried all the food, drinks, beauties and everything else. How many things in this world can interest me, Xiao Gai?" Xiao Gai looked melancholy.
"Excuse me, you are all young masters from the provincial capital." Tang Wen didn't want to listen to their flattery anymore, so he clasped his fists and said.
It was clear to everyone that Xiao Gai's introduction of these friends was mostly for showing off.
"I heard from Brother Xiao that Lord Tang is not even seventeen yet, but he's already a first-class earl. We admire him." All four of them stood up and replied with a fist salute.
"Lord Xiao, there's nothing much to bring. I just brought a few boxes of wine. Sorry for the embarrassment." Tang Wen said, and Luo Yiwu quickly ordered people to bring the wine up.
"Let me tell you, all of the Lord's wines come from the West, and they're all top-quality stuff. You're in for a treat tonight." Xiao Gai swallowed and smiled.
"Is this Western wine champagne?" Wei Kang asked.
"Have you ever drunk it?" Xiao Gai was surprised and asked.
"Someone gave my father a bottle last time. I tasted it and it was sweet and delicious with a unique flavor. Unfortunately, by the time I arrived at Duobao Pavilion, they had all been snatched away." Wei Kang said with a look of regret.
"Isn't Duobao Pavilion opened by the villain Shen Xihe?" Li Kongfan asked.
"Of course it was him. Later, I went to find him in person and he said he would have to wait for a while," said Wei Kang.
"He's not the only one selling this wine. There must be other stores selling it. Why are we looking for him?" Li Kongfan said somewhat unconvinced.
"No one else has it, only his family." Wei Kang shook his head.
"How much does he sell a bottle of champagne for?" Tang Wen asked.
"It's quite expensive, five taels of gold per bottle." Wei Kang said.
Damn, this guy really dares to sell it? Tang Wen couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Because I gave him three taels of gold for each bottle, but he sold it for five taels, and I actually sold them all, so I made a lot of money.
"I'm sorry, Lord Tang, I drank thirty taels of your gold yesterday." Xiao Gai said apologetically when he heard it.
"What do you mean by thirty or fifty taels? You two are..." Wei Kang asked in confusion.
"Lord Tang entertained me yesterday and I drank six bottles. Do you think it is thirty taels?" Xiao Gai said.
"Is there really champagne in this box, Lord Tang?" Li Kongfan became interested and stared at the cardboard box on the ground.
"Of course, Yiwu, open it and bring the wine up. Not only champagne, but also wine, dry red wine and white wine." Tang Wen said with a smile, and Luo Yiwu quickly opened the bottle and brought the wine up.
"Hmph, not bad, not bad, with a mellow taste and a long aftertaste." Li Zitong praised loudly after drinking it.
"This wine seems to have a lingering flavor." Sun Tianjun shook his head.
"The word 'mellow' alone is incomparable to ordinary wines. This taste is difficult to describe in words. In one word, it is a long aftertaste." Wei Kang said with a smile.
"There's something more exciting." At this time, Xiao Gai smiled.
"Oh? Brother Xiao, you and I have tried all the delicacies in the world, but we are tired of the dishes in this provincial capital. Is there any dish that can excite us?" Sun Tianjun said with a smile.
"Your Excellency has it at home, but I don't have it here." Xiao Gai shook his head.
"Where does your lordship live?" Sun Tianjun asked.
"The Mei residence on East Street." Tang Wen said.
"Mei's house?" Sun Tianjun suddenly widened his eyes and his pupils twitched.
Tang Wen glanced at the other guys and saw something was wrong. So he asked with a smile, "Haha, what's going on at Mei's house?"
"This..." Sun Tianjun hesitated.
"Don't be embarrassed to say that, but that's a haunted house!" Li Kongfan said.
