Chapter 209: The Great Change
The carriage soon arrived at the side gate of Yang's mansion, and Jiang Chengzi asked Chai Lingwu not to get out of the car first, so as not to stay in the car, so as not to be seen by General Chai and scolded him.
Chai Lingwu laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's different now." ”
"Brother Yi's mind has changed, but this behavior has not changed, and businessmen are the most taboo and informal. Jiang Chengzi said without being salty.
Chai Lingwu was stunned, thinking carefully about what this girl said, it seemed that he was criticizing him for acting recklessly, and he couldn't bear his so-called dream at all.
And Jiang Chengzi had already opened the curtain, put on a hat, and instructed the porter to go to the eldest prince to get the robe and cloak.
"You just say, Chai Gongzi wants to use it. Jiang Chengzi said to the porter, and then advised, "It's late at night, don't shout about such a trivial matter, just tell the son." ”
"Yes, little one understands. The porter replied, and trotted all the way to the inner house.
Jiang Chengzi then gathered his clothes, took out a few copper coins from the money bag and gave them to the old man who was driving the car, and said very politely: "Thank you old man for sending us back, and I bothered the old man to wait for a while, and the slave Rong family sent clothes for my brother." ”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Yang County Cheng has been here for less than a year, but let the people of Jinyuan County afford to eat salt and eat good salt, which is a great blessing. I can't even ask for the money. The old man who was driving the car suppressed the excitement all the way, and finally broke out at this moment.
Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said with a smile: "Old man, one is one, two is two. What Yang Xiancheng did was the duty of an official, so how could he use it for personal gain? And what the old man did was to earn money by his strength, and the money is what you deserve, so how can you not do it? ”
When the old man in the car heard this, he hurriedly apologized and said: "It's old and stupid, like this, but it blasphemed Yang Xiancheng, it really shouldn't be, it really shouldn't." ”
Jiang Chengzi smiled and didn't speak again, just stood at the side door of the Yang family's sixth room, waiting for the porter to fetch the clothes and let Chai Lingwu return to the mansion smoothly.
But where did he go, and what happened?
Jiang Chengzi's heart was still hanging, and he was getting more and more panicked.
The wind was blowing tightly, the sky was pitch black, and the light reflected by the lantern hanging in front of the gatehouse looked miserable.
"It looks like it's snowing. The old man rolled up his sleeves and muttered to himself.
Jiang Chengzi came back to his senses and took a closer look, in the dim and dim light, there were really sporadic snowflakes falling down.
"It's such a cold day, such a dark night, I'm afraid it's going to snow. The old man still muttered to himself.
Jiang Chengzi didn't speak, she listened intently, wanting to hear the sound in the distance, she expected to hear Li Ke's whereabouts, even if it was a little clue. But there was the sound of the wind whirring, and the sound of someone nearby whispering about the family's shortcomings and even flirting, but there was no slightest movement, nor a little words and voices about Li Ke.
After a moment of silence, Chai Lingwu couldn't sit still in the car, opened the curtain a little, and talked to the old man.
"Old man, I see that you are also a veteran of driving cars. Chai Lingwu said very boringly.
The old man replied very humbly: "Don't dare, don't dare." I grew up driving with my father, and I did a lot of work, and I had a little experience in driving cars. ”
"That's a specialization in the art industry, it's really amazing. Chai Lingwu admired.
"Don't dare, don't dare. The old man replied again.
Chai Lingwu said with a smile: "The old man is modest. Let me tell you, do you dare to follow me to Chang'an to make a fortune?"
"Huh?" the old man was startled, then shook his head and said, "The old man has no ability, where can I go to a place like Chang'an? Besides, what can I do if I go to that kind of place? ”
"Hey, old man, how can I coax you. I look at your ability to drive a car, and you have so many years of experience in driving a car, so I want to ask if you are willing to go to Chang'an to catch a car?" Chai Lingwu asked.
The old man shook his head and replied, "Childe, don't laugh, I'm old and don't want to leave my hometown." My wife, children, and grandchildren are all in Jinwon County. ”
"That's right. Chai Lingwu was quite disappointed.
Jiang Chengzi was originally concentrating on exploring Li Ke's location, but at this time, he was also disturbed by Chai Lingwu and couldn't concentrate, so he had to listen to him.
Hearing this, she probably understood that Chai Lingwu wanted to start business from food, clothing, housing and transportation. But he did business, he had a keen sense of business, but he didn't know anything about business. It seems that if you want to cooperate with Chai Lingwu in the future, you have to train him, otherwise this guy will be a loser every minute.
At this moment, the porter returned, and Yang Qingrang came with the porter. Yang Qingrang knew the size of Chai Lingwu's clothes, so the clothes he took fit very well.
After Chai Lingwu finished dressing, he tied his hair with strips of cloth for the time being, and then jumped out of the car, and did not forget to tease the old man who drove the car: "Old man, seriously, why don't you go to Chang'an with me to make a fortune." ”
"Thank you for the kindness of the son, the wind and snow are tight, and the old man is leaving. The old man immediately turned the head of the car, although he was very polite, but there was already contempt for Chai Lingwu between his eyebrows, and he almost scolded "snake spirit disease".
The old man turned the head of the carriage, shook a few whips, and drove the carriage away as if flying.
After the old man left, Yang Qingrang, who had always been serious, actually joked with a smile and joked with Chai Lingwu, saying, "I have always felt that something is wrong, and I can only figure it out now." If Brother Ah Wu said something to a young girl, it would not lose his elegance. Hahahaha. ”
Yang Qingrang couldn't help laughing, Jiang Chengzi also hid his face and laughed, and said, "What the eldest brother said is very true. ”
Chai Lingwu reacted at this time, his eyebrows were cold, he pretended to be angry, and said, "Hmph, I didn't expect Qing Rang to learn badly." ”
Yang Qingrang didn't speak, but entered the Yang Mansion with Jiang Chengzi smiling all the way. Chai Lingwu was still unrelenting, and pulled Jiang Chengzi to say that the idea he had just thought of, if a new type of carriage could be implemented in Chang'an for passengers, the price was cheap, and the time was fixed, it would also be a way to make money.
His uncle, isn't this a bus?
Chai Lingwu meant to implement buses and horse-drawn carriages in Chang'an to facilitate the masses to travel, and also made money with good quality and low prices.
This Chai Lingwu is really a business genius. Although he does not understand the specific principles and means of business operation, his business vision and business sense can make many people who have studied business all their lives despair.
"Ah Zhi, do you think it's feasible?" Chai Lingwu asked excitedly.
Jiang Chengzi nodded and said, "Sounds good." ”
"Hey, that sounds good, it seems to be doable. Yang Qingrang also interjected.
"Ah, you think it's okay, that's great. Chai Lingwu laughed.
"My brother has a keen sense of business and knows what makes money. However, whether it can be implemented depends on the specific situation, and it will be said in Chang'an. Jiang Chengzi replied.
"That's natural, after I go back, I have to learn from the old businessmen in the family. Chai Lingwu said very modestly.
"Brother Wu, is this going to be a businessman?" Yang Qingrang also saw it.
"Yes. I'm going to make lots and lots of money. Chai Lingwu was very happy.
Jiang Chengzi was bent on remembering Li Ke, and he didn't want to feel his happiness, so he said to Chai Lingwu: "Brother Yi is a business wizard, but today, you have to remember one sentence: Business needs secrets." For example, the public carriage that you just came up with. ”
Chai Lingwu was stunned for a moment, and pondered the meaning of this girl's words for a while, so that he didn't want to say these ideas casually.
"Big brother, if you send my righteous brother back, I won't do it. Jiang Chengzi said, without waiting for Yang Qingrang to agree or not, he turned a corner and strode towards the side of the Yang family's inner house.
She seemed to be in a hurry. Chai Lingwu muttered.
Yang Qingrang looked at her steps, only frowned, and said to Chai Lingwu: "Let's go, Fang Cai, General Chai is already asking where you went." ”
Jiang Chengzi turned a corner and entered the Yang Mansion, but instead of going straight to the inner house of the female dependent, he went straight to Li Ke's residence. Usually, the little guy who was waiting for Li Ke to freshen up was wiping the case.
"Xiao Qi, has your son-in-law come back?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
The fair-eyed little guy hurriedly ran over and replied respectfully, "Childe hasn't come back yet." However, he asked the Nine Girls to light a fire to warm the wine, cook a pot of delicious food, and wait for him to come back to enjoy the snow. ”
He was in such a hurry, since he had never returned, how could he leave such words?
Jiang Chengzi said unhappily: "Xiao Qi, your skin is itchy, you dare to make up nonsense to bluff me." ”
When Xiao Qi heard this, he was so frightened that he shook his head again and again, and said, "Nine girls spare their lives, how dare I make up nonsense." This is what Gongzi asked Yun Ge'er to pass back. ”
"Hey, Yun Ge is back?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
It's been a few days since I've seen this parrot. Previously, she also asked Li Ke where Yunge went, but Li Ke only said that he had returned to Chang'an, probably homesick. She didn't ask much, except for when she was in the army, she really didn't like animals, let alone animals like human spirits.
"It's not like I'm back, ha, Azhi, don't come unharmed. Yun Ge fluttered his wings and flew out of the house and stopped on the windowsill, cowering and saying, "Ah, no, there is no floor heating outside, it's too cold, it's cold." ”
Jiang Chengzi didn't listen to its nonsense, but instead stepped forward, picked it up, and said, "Okay, you have such a fat body and feathers, so don't pretend." Serious matters. ”
"Azhi, you're being too rude. What about aristocratic etiquette, what about aristocratic etiquette?" Yun Ge made a noise.
Jiang Chengzi made a face and scolded: "In the dead of night, the noise disturbs the people, you want to wake everyone up and lose your son-in-law's face?"
As soon as Yun Ge heard this, he immediately stretched out a wing to cover the bird's beak, pretending to be afraid.
Jiang Chengzi was quite satisfied with its obedience, and whispered: "This is good, my sister will invite you to eat delicious food in a while." ”
"I'm older than you. Yun Ge argued softly.
"Don't tease. Jiang Chengzi patted its forehead.
Yun Ge didn't speak, and one person and one bird went to the wing of the Yang family's inner house in the cold wind in the middle of the night when the snowflakes were blowing up.
Jiang Chengzi's wing still has no one on duty here, and she doesn't need to light the lamp, and her good night vision allows her to walk in the dark as if she were in the daytime.
"Lighting the lamp, I don't have good eyes. Yunge protested.
Jiang Chengzi put it on the table, and the fire folded and lit the oil lamp. Then, she picked up the scissors and cut the lantern flowers, and asked, "Yunge, what Fang Cai Xiaoqi said is true?"
"Of course it's true, aren't you ready yet?" Yun Ge angrily combed the feathers that had been messed up by Jiang Chengzi.
"Aren't you in Chang'an, why did you come back suddenly?" Jiang Chengzi asked. In fact, she has always felt that Yun Ge is not an ordinary parrot brother, or that returning to Chang'an is also a heavy responsibility, of course, she has always hoped that she has thought too much.
Yun Ge straightened his feathers and said vaguely: "I'm a migratory bird, I want to fly south for the winter, can't I?"
Jiang Chengzi was taken aback and asked, "Who taught you this knowledge?"
The term migratory birds should not exist in the early Tang Dynasty.
Yun Ge snorted disdainfully and said, "It was said in the classics left by Childe's fairy sister. The kind of bird that flies to the south to spend the winter in winter is called a migratory bird. ”
Oh, did it turn out that it was left by oneself in one's previous life? Why did one's self in one's previous life leave this knowledge in every detail? Did you ever think about making Datang a different prosperous era?
Jiang Chengzi couldn't remember the things in her previous life, not to mention, she always vaguely felt that the things in her previous life had little to do with her.
"Oh, I see. Jiang Chengzi put down the scissors and replied to Yun Ge.
"Hmph, aren't you ready yet? Childe will be back in a while. Yun Ge urged again.
Jiang Chengzi took off the big hat before asking, "Why should I trust a bird's words?"
"I, I'm an ordinary bird?" Yun Ge asked indignantly.
Jiang Chengzi Shi Ran sat down next to the case, and didn't care about Yun Ge's chatter, only asked softly: "Yun Ge, why did you come back from Chang'an?"
"Say, winter. Yun Ge's mouth was stiff.
"Believe it or not, I can break your wings right now, cut a knife on your back, smear it with sugar, and throw it outside. Jiang Chengzi made a face, and the dagger in his hand turned upside down.
"Yang Minzhi, you, don't be complacent, I'm a bird with discipline. Yun Ge was a little frightened, flapped his wings and wanted to fly.
Jiang Chengzi continued: "Look at how fast you fly, or how fast my dagger is." ”
Yun Ge thought about it again and again, gave up struggling, and said frustratedly: "It's nothing, it's just to accompany Gongzi's mother and watch the emperor's movements." ”
When Jiang Chengzi heard this, isn't this spying on Li Shimin? Get such a bird to spy on his father, someone with a heart knows, you Li Ke said that you have no second heart, and no one will believe it. Yes, even she Jiang Chengzi doesn't believe it.
Li Ke is so confused!
Jiang Chengzi frowned and shouted, "You don't want to do this again." ”
"I, what did I do? I'm just helping Childe to see if his mother is angry. Yun Ge muttered, "I'm keeping a low profile outside. It's basically like those stupid birds in a cage. ”
Jiang Chengzi lowered his eyes, and also felt that he was too worried, after all, the bird that could make Li Ke feel at ease and enter the palace should also be measured. However, no matter how measured it is, it is just a bird.
"So, when you come back this time, is there an emergency in Chang'an? Also, where did you meet your son-in-law?" Jiang Chengzi no longer continued to discuss Yun Ge's work. But when I thought of it suddenly appearing this time, I was afraid that something big had happened.
