Chapter Ninety-Four: Lotus Mulan
Shrinking the neck is a knife, stretching the neck is also a knife, Bai Yuan figured it out, and also calmed down: "What Wen Shu did before, I did too much......" He was only halfway through his words, and he read from Wen Shen's eyes that he was completely unclear So, he subconsciously asked, "You don't know?"
Wen Shen shook his head, "Xiao Shu didn't tell me. 」
He walked up to Bai Fall's side and asked, "Have you offended her?"
The events of that day were like that, and it was impossible for Wen Shu to take it seriously, but she didn't even say a word to Wen Shen. A girl's family, not long after coming to Beiping, may not have any friends who can make friends, so it can be seen that the grievances of that day are borne by herself.
Bai Yuan blamed himself more and more, and didn't even reply.
The news that he was going to marry had already spread loudly, and he was cautious and clear-minded, but he said that he had figured it out, so he said helplessly: "Emotional things are the most undemanding, no choice you make, you don't have to be weak in the face of me, just a little," he raised his eyes and said solemnly: "Xiao Shu has been spoiled since he was a child, and when he grew up to such a big age, he has never suffered a little grievance, but after knowing you, he has tasted all the sad tastes." 」
He just sighed, and didn't mean to blame, in the end, it was just that his brother felt more distressed about his sister, but these words entered Bai Yuan's ears, and he couldn't take it anymore.
"A girl like her deserves to live neatly. I can't do it for anyone, and I toss and turn. Bai Yuan deliberately made a decision, and his eyes became calm and resolute: "I'm tired of the fourth brother to go back and help me bring a word, just say that you don't have to see you again in the future." 」
"You'd better work less," Wen Shen rejected him, "you have to tell her what you want, and what you should do in the future." 」
As soon as Bai Yuan wanted to ask for a few more words, the person on the other side waved his hand, pressed the matter, and started to speak, "Recently, there is a foreigner named Henry Kerr, have you heard of it?"
It seems that he came for this, although Bai Yuan didn't know about it, the two of them couldn't stand in the big wine shed and talk. He led Wen Shen all the way out, and he didn't think of a place to go, but it happened that there was a lot of wine piled up on the side of the stone steps at the door, which was ready to be carried to the cellar for aging.
Bai Shen dismantled an altar, Lawen Shen raised the steps and sat down, and the two parted a few mouthfuls before he asked, "What kind of person is it?
Wen Shen shook his head and chuckled, "It seems that you really don't hear anything outside the window in order to get married, and now everyone is rushing to him, do you really know anything?"
Bai Yuan was curious by his question, and urged again and again: "Don't sell Guanzi, you tell me, everyone is not good at winemaking, why are they all worried about a foreigner?"
"It's about the money in his pocket. Wen Shen handed the jar back to Bai Yuan, and said, "I don't know what the background of this Monsieur Henry is, but he has two ocean ferries in his hand, and they stop at Tianjinwei, one to France and the other to England, and he has been using these two ships to bring foreign wine......
"I've had a bright head lately, and I'm going to take some of our wine out, right?" Bai Fall patted him on the jar, interrupting him, "And then these guys just sent it up, right?"
Wen Shen was amused by him, "Why, listening to this, Shopkeeper Lin doesn't seem to look down on it too much?"
Bai Cheng raised his head and drank, but did not answer.
Wen Shen deliberately whetted his appetite and asked, "Do you know what price people give?" Without waiting for the Lin family's shopkeeper to pour out the emptiness, he immediately said, "A piece of the ocean, one or two. 」
"Poof-" Bai Yuan squirted out a mouthful of wine, and he coughed for a while, "Doesn't this Mr. Heng know how to settle accounts?"
He rarely choked on wine, when the tears were already coming out, but he still had to ask.
Wen Shen slapped him twice on the back, and after meaning it, he explained: "He was supposed to carry passengers on this ferry, and the cost of the journey was almost negligible with him along the way, and the foreigners in Shanghai had to spend a lot of money just to transport the wine to the place. 」
"That's not supposed to be," Bai Yuan quickly settled the account, "He just buys it at the market price, and raises the price for nothing, where is the merchant?"
Wen Shen nodded, "I also asked about this, this piece of ocean is not all given, when you pick up the goods, only."
Pay 20%, and the rest will be sold, and then settled, if it can't be sold, the wine will be returned. 」
This would minimize the risk.
Bai Yuan smiled a little, thinking it was a little interesting, "That means that the small brewery is excluded." 」
If it is really returned in the end, the small wineries cannot afford it, only the big wineries have their own regular customers, and the big wineries will be piled up first, and they can be sold sooner or later.
"So there are less than ten companies that can compete for it now. Wen Shen understood what he meant, "I didn't have any ideas, but yesterday my uncle's foreigner talk broke down, and I just had nothing to be polite about. 」.
This is strange, Nian Yansen has been a businessman all his life, and the wine that pays him well is good, how can he talk about it?
Bai Yuan asked, "Do you know because of something?"
"It was said that Mr. Naheng fell in love with my cousin, and my uncle's family was such a child, where was he willing to give up, and after being pestered a few times, he slapped the table. Wen Shen said, somewhat crying and laughing.
Bai Yuan didn't expect it to be because of this, and he listened to it while having fun, "That's also because his family can't make this money." When he had had enough, he asked, "Since the fourth brother has this intention, why are you telling me about this? I am not as good as you in business, isn't this covetous of me?" 」
Wen Shen glanced at him, and easily dismantled another jar, "Now that the sword Gu can't sell Yuquan Gong, why are you not as good as me in business?" When he threw the altar seal, he unconsciously used some strength, like a child who was angry.
"That's different," the sun not far away was already gone, and the remnant sun was burning lively, "Yuquan Gong relied on the old men of Sijiu City to lift it, and Jian Gu was the one who killed a piece of the world by himself. 」
After he finished praising this, Wen Shen was not modest and polite, but said, "You also know that the sword gu can be killed, it depends on the wine and the business, so if the sword is scattered and left alone, it may not be able to sell well. Its cost is higher, and if it is transported from Qiandi, if it is really not sold and then returned, I will pay to die. 」
He has a good account, and if he does something too risky, he is easy to shake his foundation and can't do it.
Bai Yuan thought about it, and pushed down according to this account, Yibin's Xihua would probably not fight. That means there aren't many of them.
He immediately understood what Wen Shen meant, "Fourth Brother wants me to try?"
Wen Shen smiled and nodded, "The cost of your family's wine is not high, and Lin Zhiyue gave you the foundation before, in many people's impressions, Yuquan Gonggui should be, not to mention that if you really can't eat it in the West, you won't have any burden to return, if you don't try it at this time, when will you stay?"
Bai Yuan was moved by what he said, he had to applaud for brewing wine and selling wine, and he couldn't do anything without these two things, so he immediately asked, "Does the fourth brother have a way?"
"This Mr. Henry is very big," said Wen Shen, laying down the jar, and rising, as he went, "but next month he will set up a few tables in Renyihe, and everyone is waiting for this opportunity." After he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows slightly, meaning something.
Bai Yuan understood what he meant almost instantly, and answered, "So we have to find a way to get him next month. 」
"Yes!" Wen Shen slapped his face, "This person likes some strange things, and he has access to all three religions and nine streams, and I heard that he spent a lot of money a few days ago to ask Wan Heng from the black market to do something for him, no, let's go this way." 」
Bai Yuan also stood up, full of energy, "Then let's go see Master Wan tomorrow?"
Wen Shen laughed at him for being too anxious, "I inquired, and said that there was something going on in Hongmen, and he couldn't even get out recently. As if thinking of something, he asked, "Is the day of your marriage near?"
Bai Yuan then remembered that everyone's invitations had already been sent, but he was worried about Wen Shu, and Tai Yongde's post had not yet been released.
"Right away, on the third day of next month. Bai Yuan smiled a little weakly, "Fourth brother...... You'd better come alone. He was afraid that Wen Shen would misunderstand, so he explained, "Wen Shu definitely won't make trouble, I'm just afraid of her...... I'm afraid she's in a bad mood. 」
Wen Shen raised his eyebrows unconsciously, and a trace of indescribable emotion flickered in his pale pupils, both helpless and incomprehensible,
"You believe her? I don't believe she can control it. He asked.
"She's not going to lose her proportions. Bai fell back with great certainty.
Wen Shen smiled playfully, didn't say more, only explained that as soon as Wan Heng had time, he would go together, and then go back in the last daylight.
As soon as their side ended, Jin Su followed and searched for him from the account room.
Bai fell to see her, and the tiredness of a tired day hit her instantly, and unconsciously took the person into his arms, tilted his head on her shoulder, and didn't want to say a word.
Jin Su stood silently with him for a while, looked up and saw the stars lit up in the dome, and suddenly smiled, "Young Master," she said, "I am looking at this sky full of stars now, especially like an abacus bead that has been fiddling with all afternoon. 」
Bai Yuan couldn't help but be happy, "It seems that Mr. Lu is embarrassed by you. He recovered a little, and took her with him, and slowly fetched the horse to the stable, "Tomorrow I have to lecture him so that he can treat you better." 」
"Only a strict master can produce a high apprentice," Jin Su followed him on the horse, "Since you have put this matter in the hands of Mr. Lu, you can't ask any more questions, otherwise it will be like you don't believe him." 」
Bai Cheng felt sorry for her, and secondly, he didn't think much when he spoke, and when she mentioned it, he promised: "Don't worry, I won't ask." 」
The first quarter moon hung high, the light was extremely soft, and when the two arrived at the forest house, the red lanterns in the courtyard had already lit up.
Bai fell and helped Jinsu get off the horse, and then slowly accompanied her to the courtyard where she lived before.
Walking and walking, the evening breeze hit, Jin Su suddenly smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, she looked around with some doubts, and didn't see anything special, but the more she walked, the more fragrant the fragrance became.
When she walked to the courtyard gate, before she could push it, someone inside opened the door from the inside to both sides, so that she could see the lotus magnolia in full bloom in the courtyard at a glance.
These palm-sized flowers, with a plain white color, bloomed vigorously. Under the night breeze, the fragrance of the branches swaying filled the entire courtyard.
She was stunned for a moment, and Bai fell to her side and smiled, "The day I just came back, you said that this year's flowering period is short, I have been looking for a long time, and finally planted a new one for you. 」
