Chapter 124: Why Not (Third Update)
What Mr. Liu is worried about is the current situation of the Cheng family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Cheng family is no longer the grand scene of hundreds of doormen and nearly 1,000 guards, and the dozen or so people can only be used to do more important things, and the others are no longer powerless.
Silence enveloped the room like a cold night.
Cheng Tingzhen stood in the darkness of the room, and the whole person seemed to be swallowed up by the night, with an indescribable loneliness.
Mr. Liu stared at him, his face showed a little gloom, and then he sighed silently.
What he was going to say next was another heavy blow to the Cheng family, although he already had a countermeasure, but that strategy was also dangerous, and Cheng Tingzhen might not use it.
Thinking about it in his heart, Mr. Liu turned his head to look at the door, and saw that the little servants were very far away, so he picked up the flint on the case, and took the opportunity to go to the candlestick to light the candle, and whispered: "There is another extremely secret matter, which needs to be ordered by the Lang Zhong." ”
Cheng Tingzhen sighed, seemed to cheer up some spirits, took his robe and sat down on the armchair beside him, and said in a faint voice: "Please sir." ”
Mr. Liu lit a red candle on the candlestick with a flint, and the voice as thin as a gnat also reached Cheng Tingzhen's ears: "I inquired about a news from the Qin family, and the Qin family seems to want to pay for a joint clan study with the He family." ”
Cheng Tingzhen was stunned when he heard this, and then Huo Ran got up, and the breath on his body was instantly cold.
"Is the news true?" he stared at Mr. Liu with burning eyes, his calm face was already clouded, and he no longer regained his composure and calmness.
"Lang Zhong ordered not to worry. The matter has not been clarified, and now it is just a rumor. Mr. Liu whispered, setting the flint aside.
The room was much brighter, however, Cheng Tingzhen's face was so heavy that it seemed to be able to wring out water.
"The Qin family is rich, Zuo Dalang really found a good lady. He said coldly, a flash of green energy on his face.
In the end, I still lost.
And in his heart, he also knew that he was helpless.
Even if he found the fault of Zuo Sikuang's unstable house and poked this matter out, he would not be able to compete with the Qin and He families who jointly organized the clan study. In comparison, what are these little things of private morality? Ethnography is the foundation of a family's prosperity, and it is also the embodiment of the glory of a family, and this credit is something that the Cheng family can never grab.
He looked at the red candle on the case in a daze, and the green aura on his face quietly faded, replaced by a touch of melancholy and confusion.
If the Cheng family wants to go up, they can only rely on the He family. However, the Cheng family's family background is not as good as the Qin family's, and what is needed to run a clan study is more than a thousand gold? The Cheng family can only barely be regarded as poor now, where can they raise so much money for a while?
As soon as he thought of this, he only felt full of depression and bitterness, looked up and sighed, and said gloomily: "If it is not my lack of wisdom, I will not be weak after all." Nai, nay. ”
If it comes to ingenuity and resourcefulness, he thinks that he will never lose to Zuo Sikuang, Zuo Sikuang has a strong wife, and his wife is not as good as him, compared with the two, the strength and weakness are immediately revealed, how can he not feel sorry for himself?
When Mr. Liu heard this, his face showed a little deep groaning, and he was silent for a while, and Fang said in a deep voice: "Lang Zhongling doesn't have to be like this, I have another news here, although it is not very accurate, I feel that this is an opportunity." ”
When Cheng Tingzhen heard this, his spirit perked up slightly, and he looked at Mr. Liu and said, "I hope Mr. will teach me." ”
Mr. Liu hurriedly bowed down and said, "Don't dare", and then Fang lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Since Zuo Sikuang's plan was disrupted halfway that day, I have been sending people to keep an eye on the Qin family. The Qin family is now about to become a merchant, and I always think that the merchant's mistake is the easiest to catch. However, after staring at it for nearly half a month, although the mistake was not stared, my people reported a news, saying that the Qin family had explored an excellent clay place, and it was in Huangbaipi, Hanjia County, and his family intended to open a kiln there next year to burn porcelain. ”
Cheng Tingzhen listened quietly, and when he heard this, the excitement on his face faded, and his disappointed expression flashed: "Is this the opportunity that Mr. said?"
Mr. Liu nodded, and said in a low voice, "I know what Lang Zhongling is thinking. It is not surprising to think that the Qin family has already opened a porcelain kiln, but now it is just a few more. However, I found out that the Qin family had changed to a new porcelain kiln master before, and the master whose surname was Wu was replaced, it was said that he had committed something and was stabbed out of the industry by the Qin family. Since the Sunset Stone, I have been asking people to inquire about the Qin family, and now I have invited the Wu craftsman. ”
"Craftsman?" Cheng Tingzhen involuntarily repeated, a pair of lying silkworm eyebrows gathered in the center of his eyebrows, with a little doubt: "What did Mr. invite him to do? We don't want to open a kiln......
When he said this, he suddenly stopped, and a pair of eyes gradually shone under the candlelight, and he looked at Mr. Liu and said, "What does Mr. mean is not ......?"
Mr. Liu nodded heavily and said, "Exactly." Previously, I came to Master Wu, originally to dig up some news from him, but now it seems that this person has another use. ”
At this point, he paused slightly, as if he wanted to set aside time for Cheng Tingzhen to figure out the key, and after a while, Fang said: "Lang Zhongling, please think, that Huang Baipi has good clay, and it just so happens that we have a very experienced craftsman in our hands, if we can hold these two things together, why can't we also go to open a kiln factory? If it really burns good porcelain, it is stronger than the Qin family's porcelain, and the He family jointly organizes a family study, it may not be the turn of the Qin family to pay and the Zuo family to come out." ”
After a pause, he said again: "Take a step back and say, even if we don't open the kiln factory, we can send a few people to Huangbaipi first, and either buy the clay land, or destroy it, or simply let the wind out, attract other families to fight with the Qin family, or temporarily block the Qin family." In addition, we can also send a message to the Hou Mansion of Han'an Township, if the Fan family knows that the He family wants to abandon them and run their own clan school, this matter will be another direction. ”
These words seemed to open a window for Cheng Tingzhen, allowing him to see another scene, and his heart beat fast.
Mr. Liu added: "In the opinion of the servant, it is still easy to open a kiln factory by itself. After all, the Cheng family now needs to find another way to find some ways to get rich. I also asked Master Wu about the kiln, and according to him, the cost of firing porcelain to open a kiln is not large, the heaviest is the soil, followed by skilled craftsmen. Lang Zhongling, now that we are one, we may not be indispensable. ”
These words were very agitating, Cheng Tingzhen's expression gradually loosened, and his eyes became brighter and brighter in the candlelight. (To be continued.) )
