Zhang Xing and Fu Xianglian were talking, and Wei Minwen came in. Fu Xianglian saw Wei Minwen's face was heavy, turned Zhang Xing, and said, "I'll go first, and you will come to talk in a while." ”

Zhang Xing smiled and nodded. After Fu Xianglian went out, Wei Minwen said, "What's the matter with this golden shopkeeper? What about the stone? Why didn't he come with you?"

What happened in Jiangling Village, Shi and Zhang Xing decided not to tell Wei Minwen and the others about it, so as not to worry them. Zhang Xing stepped forward and poured Wei Minwen a cup of tea, and said, "The golden shopkeeper is from the Shen family in the northwest, and he is here to collect grain. ”

Wei Minwen stood up in shock. Back then, Zhang Xing decided to buy and sell rice and grain, and told Wei Minwen in advance that they planned to use the name of the Northwest Army to make this matter bigger. Now Zhangji's rice grain accounts for more than half of the Jianghuai area, and the Shen family in the northwest has really come to the door.

"Big brother, drink tea. Zhang Xing smiled and brought it to Wei Minwen.

Wei Minwen realized that he was at a loss, glared at Zhang Xing, took the tea in her hand, took a big sip, sat down, and asked, "Since you are from the northwest, what are you going to do with the stone?"

"Naturally, it is necessary to give. Zhang Xing said halfway, Wei Minwen's brows furrowed, businessmen pursue profits, there is no reason to make wedding dresses for others. Zhang Xing laughed again: "If you have money, you will naturally give it, but if you don't have money, don't talk about it." ”

Wei Minwen had no intention of laughing with Zhang Xing, and said with a frown: "You are so foolish when you are in the Northwest Army?

"Why don't I dare? I didn't have this grain falling from the sky, Shen Huaijin wanted food, so he naturally had to come up with the money. The Shen family's affairs can't be done in a day or two. Shen Huaijin also hoped that Zhang Ji, the golden rooster, could keep laying eggs. Not only can it not be slaughtered at this time. You have to feed it well. Of course, I don't expect them to make me a lot of money to keep track of the grain at today's market prices. But the money is less and the amount is more, and it is also profitable. Zhang Xing didn't want Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu to be too involved, so he only said on the surface.

After Wei Minwen heard this, he thought about it for a while, his face finally softened, and when he thought of the stone, his brows furrowed again. "What about the stones, why didn't you come with you?"

"He still has some things to do in Gangneung, so he came over when he was done. Zhang Xing said vaguely.

"Can you still stay over there in Gangneung? Didn't your shop close early? What else could he do there? Let him come back quickly?"

Zhang Xing had to push it on the head of the Shen family, "It's not about the shop, it's that he has another military order and has to stay." ”

Wei Minwen saw that Zhang Xing was cautious, and looked at her suspiciously. Zhang Xing has never been in line with his heart. Wei Minwen looked at her for a while, and finally stopped bothering about this question, and asked Zhang Xing again: "How much grain do you plan to ask for in the northwest this time?"

Zhang Xing shook his head, "I don't know either, I need the stone to come back to know about this." "After the stone came back. only revealed a rough idea to her. As for Jin Yao, Shi didn't plan to let Zhang Xing have too much contact with this person.

"You have to have a number in mind. Give the back food to the war, it's an invincible hole. It's also not safe. If you can avoid this, I advise you to stop it as soon as possible, this money is not easy to earn. ”

"Which piece of money is easy to make now?" Zhang Xing said with a smile.

Wei Minwen thought about it and sighed. Nowadays, the world is not peaceful, it is true that no money is made, the income is small, the heart is unwilling, and if you make it big, you can become a sweet and sweet in the eyes of others if you are not careful. He carries the life of a family on his back, and now he can only shrink in Yuxian County to make some money.

"Don't touch the rice grain, I think it's okay to make cloth, although it can't make a lot of money, it's enough to support the family. Wei Minwen said.

"Big brother, do you think we can still get out?" Zhang Xing whispered, "The stone is in the Northwest Army." ”

Wei Minwen was choked by her words, and wanted to say that of course it would be better not to marry a stone, but when he touched Zhang Xing's eyes, he finally swallowed the words - the matter has become a foregone conclusion, what is the point of talking about it at this time? He has no second way except to stand by her side.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, what are you going to say?"

"I was about to tell my eldest brother about this. Zhang Xing Zhengse said, "Big brother, can you let Shopkeeper Zhao avoid outsiders and meet me alone?"

Wei Minwen was shocked by Zhang Xing's words, "The shopkeeper of your shop, you can see it if you want, why do you need to avoid others? What are you hiding from us?"

Zhang Xing pondered it in his heart and said in a low voice: "Shi and I both think that this golden shopkeeper is probably not only here to collect grain, but he is afraid that he also wants to collect Zhang Ji's rice and grain shop." ”

Wei Minwen's eyes widened suddenly, "Is there anything else?"

Zhang Xing shook his head slowly, "Big brother, have you ever heard of the saying that a cunning rabbit dies and a lackey cooks? We handed over the chapter, will the Shen family definitely give up? ”

"Isn't the stone in the Northwest Army?" Wei Minwen said in surprise, "Isn't he the general banner?"

"But there is no one in the Northwest Army, and there is such a great profit as grain and grass in front of you, what is the calculation of such a person?" Zhang Xing said in a low voice.

In fact, Shi was already the head of a hundred households, and he was arrested because he had some disputes with another hundred households in the army, and he was recently demoted. Shen Huaijin took the opportunity to temporarily transfer him out of the army, handed over a group of men and horses with him, and the hundreds of households under Shi's original management were also among them, and let him bring them over to collect grain.

Zhang Xing had only seen Shen Huaijin a few times, and she had never spoken in person, and she had a hunch that this person was unfathomable. For example, this time, if you want to say that he took a fancy to the stone, he sent him over to collect food, but he secretly wanted to take over the seal, and he had the intention of kicking them away. I really don't know what medicine he sells in his gourd?

For such a person, there is only caution everywhere.

"I said a long time ago, I won't let you touch this, but you won't listen. Now it's okay, I can't retreat, and I don't know how to go in, so I can only be trapped in this. Wei Minwen couldn't help but say angrily, "The chapter can't be handed over." Drag it out, after all, you didn't pick the wrong person to be the shopkeeper. ”

There is Zhao Zixing sitting in charge of the chapter. The people of the Shen family in the northwest want to get their hands on the seal. Nine times out of ten, it won't be done.

The next day. Uncle Fu came, and when she saw Zhang Xing returning to Yu County, she was also very happy and wanted to invite her to Fu's house to sit together. Fu Xianglian also pulled Zhang Xing and didn't let go. Zhang Xing smiled and agreed.

The Fu family has now also moved to Yu County, several streets away from the Wei family. Fu Xianglian's pregnancy is hard, and Ye Hexiang is not worried. Aunt Fu took her daughter home from time to time.

The three of them got into the carriage, talked and laughed, and arrived at Fu's house after a while. Uncle Fu said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Zhao is waiting inside." ”

Zhang Xing looked up at Aunt Fu. Aunt Fu secretly pinched her, laughed and went in together. When she arrived in the courtyard, Aunt Fu pointed to the study and nodded to Zhang Xing. Zhang Xing understood, and after glancing at Sun Baozhu, he pushed the door of the study and went in.

Zhao Zixing, who was fidgeting inside, immediately raised his head and shouted, "Madam!"

Zhang Xing waved his hand and motioned for him not to say anything yet. She is not careful now, and she was already shocked on Chinese New Year's Eve. Who knew if it was someone from the Shen family who was staring at him from the tree that night. Sun Baozhu squatted down among the flowers at the door of the study. Zhang Xing closed the door of the study, and then said, "Shopkeeper Zhao, please take a seat." ”

Zhao Zixing sat down. Wei Minwen avoided people when he was invited out. only said that Zhang Xing wanted to see him, and there was nothing else.

He has also experienced ups and downs. Seeing Wei Min's cautiousness again and again, I guessed something. Before his butt fell off the stool, he said, "Madam, is it from the Shen family?"

Zhang Xing nodded, "They sent a rice merchant to collect grain." ”

Zhao Zixing calmed down and asked calmly, "What is Madam going to do?"

"Food is to be given, as we have seen before. But this time they didn't just come for the grain, they also seemed to have taken a fancy to the rice grain shop in Zhangji. ”

Zhao Zixing took a breath of cold air, and said angrily with a blue face: "They don't want to think about it! Cross the river and tear down the bridge, and only take ready-made, this is their Shen family style! Madam, you must not agree to this! After they get the Zhangji, they will definitely not allow the Zhangji to get involved in the rice grain business again, I am afraid that the master and the uncle will be implicated." ”

Zhang Xing looked at Zhao Zixing and said word by word: "Who wants to give away their hard-earned belongings to others?" It's just that I don't agree, and it's hard to guarantee that they will find another way." ”

Zhao Zixing glanced at Zhang Xing in a daze, suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Madame doesn't believe Zhao?

Zhang Xing said softly: "Zhang Ji's rice grain shop, Shopkeeper Zhao knows more than our husband and wife. ”

Zhao Zixing stood up straight, raised his head and said: "Madame, just rest assured, as long as Madame doesn't nod, his Shen family will not want to get involved in Zhangji! Even if his Shen family forcibly gets the Zhang family's shop, it will be an empty shell, and he will not be able to buy and sell rice and grain." ”

"With the words of Zhao's shopkeeper, I am relieved. Zhang Xing smiled and said, "The Shen family's surname is Jin, and I heard that they are also engaged in rice and grain trading in the northwest. ”

"Surname Jin?" Zhao Zixing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "As far as I know, there are no rice merchants surnamed Jin in the northwest." Those who can help the Shen family sell grain must not be ...... unless they are rice merchants."

Zhang Xing waited quietly. The Zhao family is not in the rice grain industry, and since they can do Jianghuai here, they definitely have a certain understanding of rice merchants in other places.

Zhao Zixing thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Could it be the Northwest Mo family?"

"Mo family, the person who came is indeed surnamed Jin, there is no doubt that the surname is Mo ......" Zhang Xing was also surrounded by Zhao Zixing's words. But she knew that Jin Yao was seven or eight years ago, and if Jin Yao had changed his name and surname, he would not have taken precautions so early.

"Mrs. didn't know, Zhao said that the Mo family in the northwest was indeed one of the top rice merchants in the northwest twenty or thirty years ago, and he also had a close relationship with the Shen family in the northwest, but Mo Zihan, the head of the Mo family, only had one daughter, and married a family surnamed Jin in the northwest as his wife, and his rice grain shop also made a dowry for his daughter. This surnamed Jin is also a powerful person with a head and face in the northwest territory. After Mo Zihan's daughter only gave birth to a son, she died early, and the Mo family's rice grain shop also declined. Mo Zihan, the son raised by this daughter, heard that it is not good to be in good health, and he worships a master from outside the world as a teacher, and he left home when he was young, and he has not heard anyone talk about him over the years......"

Zhang Xing hurriedly said: "This golden shopkeeper looks like about twenty-three or four. ”

When Zhao Zixing heard this, he nodded slowly and said: "The age is right, if Mo Zihan's grandson is still alive, he should be this age." After he finished speaking, he slapped the table and affirmed: "This golden shopkeeper is sent by the Shen family in the northwest, and he is also known as a rice merchant, so there is a good chance that he is Mo Zihan's grandson." ”

Zhang Xing thought so too. As soon as the Shen family moved, the world knew it. They only dared to sneak to Jianghuai to raise grain and grass. The demand for partial production is large, so I have to sacrifice rice merchants to do this.

The Mo family is a rice merchant in the northwest, and it is reasonable to collect grain on a large scale.

Zhang Xing's face was sad again, the Mo family is a rice merchant in the northwest, and they understand the essence of the rice and grain industry, if this Jin Yao really takes a fancy to Zhang Ji and takes over, it must be easy.

Zhao Zixing saw Zhang Xing's face and said, "Madam is worried that since this surnamed Jin is a genuine rice merchant, it must be easy to take over Zhang Ji, right?"

Zhang Xing said frankly: "Shopkeeper Zhao also said that the Mo family is also a rice merchant in the northwest, and if you want to come to this golden shopkeeper, you must also know the rice and grain industry." ”

Zhao Zixing shook his head with a smile, and said confidently: "Madame is too worried, not to mention the difference between the north and the south, as far as my Zhao family is concerned, no one can take the grain line of the chapter that I have done with the foundation of the Zhao family, without the approval of Madame." I still say the same as before, unless the Shen family is strong, it can only be an empty shell, and Zhangji Rice Shop will never change the owner. ”

Zhang Xing's face was relieved, and he said with a smile: "That's good, Shopkeeper Zhao has worked hard." ”

Zhao Zixing bowed for a long time, "Zhao is a slave of Zhangji, now and in the future, the slave works for the master, it is his duty, not hard." If the lady is fine, Zhao will leave first. "Since the Shen family is eyeing the chapter, they really have to be careful.

After Zhao Zixing left, Zhang Xing sat in the study again. Fu Xianglian came in, and as soon as she came in, she didn't ask when Zhao Zixing was leaving, she only pulled Zhang Xing and said, "Xing'er, is the stone still in Jiangling?"

Zhang Xing saw that Fu Xianglian was not good, so she hurriedly helped her sit down, and replied, "Yes, he will also come to Yuxian in two days." ”

"There was an accident in Gangneung again, and there was another fight over there. Fu Xianglian's face was pale, and she said tremblingly, "Xing'er, do you think the chaos over there in Jiangling will spread to this side." ”

Zhang Xing paused, and silently calculated the days in his heart. Today is indeed the third day of the accident with Zhuangzi on the Jiangling side. She was also a little nervous. The stone is still over there, facing the Red Lotus Sect. However, in front of Fu Xianglian, she didn't dare to show anything on her face, and only said with a smile: "Where did you get the news? Are you sure? I just came from Jiangling." Speaking of this, she paused deliberately, and then said, "Have you heard about Jiangling City being occupied by the Red Lotus Sect? It's been a few days!"
