189 The low-key and luxurious Zhu Mansion
Xu Yu was stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't see any discomfort on his face, and quipped: "It seems that Shopkeeper Zhu is really going to wash his hands in a golden basin." ”
She didn't agree, let alone refuse.
Zhu Shang is a smart person, and he knew that Xu Yu didn't want to talk about this matter now, so he said: "Naturally, although I, Zhu, am not a man of his word, but he is also a gentleman who is difficult to follow. ”
He said that he would no longer engage in business when he re-entered Bianjing, and he would abide by this oath.
As soon as his voice fell, he lowered the curtain and went to talk to Hu Ling instead.
Although Zhu Shang returned to Bianjing because of Hu Ling, he would not return to Hu Mansion with Hu Ling, but wanted to return to the house where he lived in his early years.
He drove his horse in front of him, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar streets all the way, and his heart was no longer as calm as before entering Beijing.
Bianjing is as prosperous as ever.
Like smoke, like brocade......
And he has changed a lot.
He rode into an inconspicuous alley and stopped at the innermost point.
Xu Hu Ling and the others got out of the carriage, laughed and stood arm-in-arm, looking at the place where Zhu Shang once lived.
They originally thought that with Zhu Shang's financial resources, the Zhu Mansion would inevitably be splendid, and as magnificent as they wanted.
However, at this moment, what was in front of them was just the most ordinary people's house, which did not match the identity of his Wanguan family property at all.
There is a plaque on the door, but there is no lacquer lettering.
Standing outside the door, you can see a few shades of greenery through the low wall.
Two wooden doors were open, and the view inside was obscured by a small wall.
Zhu Shang jumped from his horse and patted his sleeve. Squinted his eyes and asked with a smile: "Thank you two ladies for escorting Zhu back to the house, do you need to go into the house to drink hot tea?"
Xu Yu and Hu Ling are both armed with martial arts, and Zhu Shang said that the word escort is not bad.
Promise nodded. When he raised his feet and was about to go in, Hu Ling followed.
Since the door of Zhu Shang's house is open, I think someone has come to clean it up in advance.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered, someone greeted them.
"Grinding and chirping, I'm only here now, and the food is cold. ”
The tone of the person who came out of it was extremely impatient. But I can also hear that he is familiar with Zhu Shang enough.
Xu Len stayed in place, and Hu Ling, who was behind her, called out crisply: "Second senior brother." ”
When Xiao Yuan went to Suzhou, he stayed in Zhu Shang's Tiansheng gambling house all day long. Xu Promise has always known that the relationship between the two of them is not ordinary, and now it seems that the two have a very good relationship.
Xiao Yuan didn't expect Zhu Shangshang to come back with the two of them, shook his head and said, "There are two more rubbing rice." ”
Say no more hello after the conversation. Turning his head and walking into the house. There was a smile on his lips.
The three of them all knew Xiao Yuan's cooking skills, and when they heard that there was a cooked meal in the house, no one said a word more, and they flew in.
Xiao Yuan's meal was extremely sumptuous, with eight dishes and one soup, and the meat and vegetables were very harmonious.
After the four of them had a meal, they promised to order tea, and Xiao Yuan played music. Hu Ling dances the sword, and the scene is very casual and elegant.
No one talked about Zhu Shang's return to Beijing. Just quietly enjoy the late spring breeze.
Zhu Shang's house, from the outside, seems to be no different from an ordinary house, and after entering the door, you will find that it is not as simple as it looks on the outside.
The rudimentary gates and walls obscure the original appearance of the house.
The house behind the wall is very exquisite, each of which can be a scene of its own, with lush trees and two rows of begonias blooming just right.
Zhu Shang's house has three entrances and two exits, and the furnishings in the house are all high-quality products.
On the high feet of the two huanghuali are respectively placed in the six-tube bottle of sealing kiln three-color ware, glaze green color pearl ground scratching flowers and entwined branches.
The green glazed Jomon incense pot in the corner of the room may seem inconspicuous, but it has a great background.
Xu promised to have seen an identical incense cup in the mansion of the eldest princess of Sui Kingdom, the eldest princess is a person who loves incense, and she also pays attention to the incense cup that burns incense.
She once said that the incense cup was originally a pair, and she always wanted to find another one, but she only knew that it was collected at a high price, and her identity could not be revealed, so she didn't want to be here.
In Zhu Shang's house, whether it is an object used as an ornament or a tea cup and saucer for drinking tea and eating, someone will rush to collect every piece taken out.
The two had never been together before, and today they had a meal together for the first time, but they were also very harmonious.
After drinking tea, it was already dark.
That's when we got down to business.
Just didn't say a few words, Hu Ling was annoyed by Xiao Yuan, and pulled out the whip and threw it directly at Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan easily dodged and walked towards the courtyard.
The two fought in the courtyard.
Indoors, Zhu Shang sat cross-legged on the seat, his slender fingers turning the tea cup, and the milky white tea soup moved with the shaking in the cup, not affected by the fight outside.
"Xu Liuniang, I will entrust you with some of my business. ”
Zhu Shang was talented when he was young, and he was once praised by everyone Mr. Beijiang, but after leaving Beijing, he monopolized the cultivation of Maojian tea in just five years, and became the owner of the five major kilns, and his status in the business world was so high that everyone knew it.
Today, for the second time, he mentioned to Promise about the transfer of his inheritance.
Among the few people here today, he promised to think that he had the shallowest friendship with Zhu Shang, but he didn't know why he made this decision.
"Don't ask me why I'm looking for you, the others either don't love money, or don't know how to write the word business, and you're the only one left. Zhu Shang's narrow phoenix eyes opened for a moment, stretched out his finger and pointed at the two figures fighting outside, and smiled very indifferently.
The other people in his words naturally referred to Xiao Yuan and Hu Ling.
Promise smiled and agreed.
She's bored and tight here, and if she starts dealing with the business of Maojian and Junyao, then her life will be much more interesting, and her brain won't rust.
However, she is not a person who occupies the fruits of wisdom in vain, stared at Zhu Shang and said seriously: "Within a year, I will turn over the money you have earned over the years and return all the money to you." ”
Zhu Shang listened, put down the teacup in his hand, tapped his fingers, and thought for a moment before saying, "Will a year be too tight?"
He is not a decent man, and it is one thing to keep his oath, and quite another to take the money he deserves.
Since he promised to return his past assets to him, he would certainly not refuse.
There was only one reason why he chose Promise to accept the property he had built over the years, and he could see that Promise was a person with ideas and ambitions, and she would not waste all these years of hard work after she took over.
"The time is just right, you don't have to worry about this, it's just those stewards under you, as well as various channels......"
When Zhu Shang heard the promise question, he even decided that he had found the right person, propped his hands behind him, and said: "You don't have to worry about this, those stewards listen to the words of the jade pendant in my hand, as long as you hold the jade pendant, they will listen to you, and I will write to you another day for other things." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhu Shang took out a few jade pendants from his arms.
The person who takes the jade pendant can see Zhu Shang, and Zhu Shang can also order his subordinates to do things through the jade pendant.
Xu promised to see these jade pendants, when she first crossed over to Xu's mansion, she took the same jade pendant to find Zhu Shang.
The jade pendant was given to her by Jingping.
Now that Zhu Shang has returned to the capital, he doesn't know where Jingping, who swore an oath with him, is located......?
