On this day, the Xiangyang Prefecture’s Yamen and Sheng trumpets sounded in unison, and the gongs and drums were noisy!

On the day when General Chariot and Cavalry led the herdsman of Jingzhou and Marquis of Xiangyang Liu Qi got engaged, the whole city was filled with joy and celebrities from all walks of life were present.

There is a lot of traffic and people outside the government office. The people who come today are all of high status and have great wealth.

Xiahouba and the other three were also invited. Seeing this, they sighed. When they entered the gate, they saw Liu Qi in a purple gown welcoming guests in the lobby.

Amidst the cheerful singing, the three of them were instantly attracted by the furniture in the courtyard. Those tables and chairs they had never seen before filled Guanzhong with admiration.

"Oh, water bed!" Xia Houmao's eyes suddenly widened and he was about to run to the side.

"Zilin, don't be rude!" Xiahou Ba hurriedly grabbed him, and the three of them stepped forward to greet Liu Qi.

After delivering the gifts and exchanging pleasantries, the three of them couldn't wait to squeeze in and have a look, not knowing what was so strange about these things.

"Hey, this bench is really exquisite. Eating like this is not only comfortable, but you can also eat one more bowl."

"Tch, how many bowls of dry rice can you eat? In my opinion, the chair is the best. It will be more comfortable if it has a backrest."

"This statement is extremely true. When I sit on it while reading and discussing matters, my legs no longer hurt and my waist no longer aches!"

"Hiss—which brand is Hanxingtang? Could it be that these tables and chairs are from Hanxingtang?"

…

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd, pointing to the tables and chairs and expressing their opinions. There was even a long queue of people in the row of test chairs, everyone wanted to try it out.

Xia Houmao rushed directly to the water bed, pushed through the crowd and stretched out his hand to press it. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what he had seen in the water clouds, and he suddenly beamed with joy.

In the past few days, I have been fighting Black Pearl in the wing room, and I feel that the waterbed is half of the credit.

He asked Black Pearl and Zhang Wei several times, but he didn't know where the waterbed came from. He scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously, but he didn't expect to encounter it here.

"What is this... soft and cold, what is its use?" Xiahou Ba looked confused.

"This is called a water bed. Look at your unexperienced look!" Xia Houmao curled up his lips and said proudly: "What if this thing..."

Halfway through, I suddenly realized something was wrong, stopped, and asked the people around me: "Where did you buy this bed?"

"This young man has really good eyesight!" The person introducing the introduction immediately came over and introduced enthusiastically: "The water bed is not only soft and can fit the body at any time, but also full of elasticity, which can promote harmony between husband and wife. It can also inject hot water for heating in winter.

You can all lie down and experience it yourself!”

Xiahou Ba frowned and said: "There is water in here, how can you sleep?"

"Brother Xiahou, let's try it first!"

"Hey, it's really comfortable!" Xiahou Ba's eyes lit up and he praised: "Don't tell me, this water bed is better than my soft bed. My father has been fighting all year round, and he often suffers from pain in his back and cannot sleep. If there is this water bed, wouldn't it be alleviated?

pain?"

"You haven't experienced anything more comfortable yet!"

Xiahou Ba was excited for a moment, and quickly grabbed the person who introduced him and asked, "Where can I buy this waterbed?"

"You can book a small one here!" The man nodded and said with a smile: "When buying waterbeds, furniture, tables and chairs, please remember the Hanxingtang brand name, since the products are genuine and genuine."

Xiahou Mao asked anxiously: "How much?"

The man raised his hands to the people who were watching eagerly around him and said: "General Liu is very happy today. It is the time when new products are on the market. The whole store is half price. The price is behind you. If you miss today, you will regret it for the rest of your life..."

Everyone turned around and saw a sign standing behind them, which had already explained:

Item: Waterbed.

Material: Nanhai Jiao, beef tendon, cooked copper mouth.

Price: Thirty-nine thousand.

Xia Houmao was looking forward to it. When he saw this, he exclaimed: "A mere bed costs 30,000 yuan. Is this a money grab?"

The man smiled and said: "Young master, don't be surprised. The most important thing about this water bed is its sealing. If water leakage occurs if it is not sewn well, wouldn't it be worth the loss? The South China Sea Jiao is extremely rare and naturally has a high price. There are also cooked ones here.

It's made of cowhide, but its elasticity is much poorer. It only costs three thousand dollars, but as a young master, I'm afraid I won't consider it."

"Well, ahem...of course!" Xia Houmao nodded calmly and said with his hands behind his back, "I naturally want to choose the one with the best quality."

The man ordered two sets of waterbeds to be brought in. As expected, the textures of Nanhai Jiao and cooked cowhide were very different. When not filled with water, they were like quilt covers and did not weigh much when rolled up.

Xiahou Ba touched it with his hands for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and pointed at the Nanhai dragon skin and said: "Half price, I'll order a set."

Xia Houmao patted his chest: "One set is not enough. I want to order ten sets. I will just give one set to my uncle."

The man smiled and said: "This young man has good eyesight and courage. If you buy ten sets today, you will get a set of cooked cowhide waterbeds as a gift."

"Hahaha, this Han Xingtang business is really good!" Xia Houmao seemed to have gotten a big deal. He turned to look at Cao Tai who was hesitating behind him: "If you are familiar with the cowhide, I will give it to you."

Cao Tai snorted coldly: "Thank you for your kindness, I will order three sets myself."

"Okay, three gentlemen, please come here and pay the deposit!" The man greeted the three of them warmly and went to the account book.

…

The furniture exhibition area on the other side is the most lively. Not only are the furnishings here dazzling, but also officials and celebrities such as Kuai Yue, Liu Xian, Song Zhong, etc. are here, and they are attracted by the furniture.

Liu Neng held up the newly made tin trumpet and shouted: "Come on, come on, come and take a look, take a look, Hanxingtang furniture is coming out, new products are big rewards - not ninety-nine eight, not eighty-eight, just four hundred and eighty"

Eighteen, take home a table and four chairs!”

When the shouting ended, there was a burst of cheers. Everyone was shocked by the price of tens of thousands. When they heard the tables and chairs costing hundreds of dollars, they gathered around and shouted to buy them.

"Every bustle in the world is for profit; the bustling world is for profit!"

Liu Qi was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but he stood alone at the entrance of the lobby, looking at the lively crowd and sighing.

Liu Pan folded his arms and shook his head, laughing: "Today is the day of Da Lang's engagement. Jingzhou's celebrities gather together, drink wine and compose poems. Isn't this a scene that overshadows the guests?"

Liu Qi said with a smile: "It's just an engagement, not a marriage. To give Hanxing Hall's name today and accept a large number of orders is the best betrothal gift for the Xi family."

Liu Pan puzzled: "These tables and chairs are novel and comfortable, but now that they are made public to the world, every family will rush to imitate them. How can they still enjoy their exclusive benefits?"

But Liu Qi smiled and said: "It's really good to be good to everyone! I just want everyone to come and create business and promote it, so that today's etiquette can be changed."

The furniture of the Han Dynasty is called a table, and its shape is very simple. It is a short long table with a cushion for sitting on.

No matter in court, government offices or at home, people always kneel down at the table when discussing matters or entertaining guests.

Liu Qi was afraid every time he met with guests and discussed matters. He would sit on his knees for too long, and his legs would feel numb and his knees would ache. He would rather stand than sit on his knees.
