Ninety-five, Zhu family
The accumulation of wealth over several generations has allowed the Zhu family to enjoy the reputation of Vermilion Bird in the Song Land, and at the same time, the Zhu family is also subject to the Song Land. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Qingshanjun asked the Zhu family to spread the word, but the Zhu family didn't dare not pass it on, Yao Xitong knew this, but he didn't know how close the Zhu family and Qingshanjun were.
He asked: "The Zhu family brocade can become tribute satin, is it because of Qingshanjun's mediation in the court?" ”
Zhu Zhigao shook his head and said, "The matter of tribute satin is all mediated by the Zhu family, and it costs a lot. To tell the truth, compared with other wealthy businessmen, the Zhu family's foundation is too weak, and everything has to be settled with money, and they have felt that they can't make ends meet over the years...... The Zhu family spent a lot of money to develop shipping, and the martial arts also did it, and they didn't deal with the Zhu family, so it has been really difficult in the past few years. ”
The pot of water on the stone table was boiling, Yao Xitong helped Zhu Zhigao pour out the residual tea and replace it with new water, but he continued to use Xiao Baoer's cup, refilled some hot water and covered his hands. He asked, "If I can help you win the brocade business of Liangdi and Qidi, can you use this to become the principal of the Zhu family?" ”
Zhu Zhigao looked at Yao Xitong dumbfounded, exclaiming that he was so big. If the Zhu family can take these two places, it is equivalent to doing business all over the entire territory of Great Xia, how is this possible!
It was inconvenient for him to hit Yao Xitong, so he only said: "If Brother Yao can do this, Zhigao is willing to go back and fight for it!" ”
"What I want is not to fight, I want you to be the head of the Zhu family, no matter what means you use."
Zhu Zhigao faintly heard a bit of threat from Yao Xitong's words, this person really has such a great ability to make the Zhu family's business all over Daxia, but I am afraid that what he wants is not the principal, but a puppet who obeys his words.
He said: "Brother Yao, what you asked, Zhigao didn't dare to promise. ”
Yao Xitong clasped the stone table with his hand and said slowly: "I am a businessman, and I know that doing business is fair. My people have left because of you, and you owe me; I helped the Zhu family to do business in Liangdi and Qidi, which you owe me; If these are not enough for you to make up your mind, I will take a step back and tell you the news of Zhu Zhijuan. ”
Zhu Zhijuan is Zhu Zhigao's own sister, and things about her have always been on Zhu Zhigao's mind.
Hearing Yao Xitong mention it, Zhu Zhi suppressed his desire to know everything, and asked: "My sister died of illness in the temple not long ago, I heard that some people who don't deal with the Zhu family are chewing their tongues indiscriminately, shouldn't the nonsense in their mouths be listened to by Brother Yao?" ”
Yao Xitong admired Zhu Zhigao very much for keeping his sanity at such a time, and calmly took words from him.
He said, "The person who killed your sister is in the martial family, and if you are willing to cooperate, I will tell you where that person is hiding." ”
"Everyone in the world knows that the Wu family and the Zhu family don't deal with each other, but if you want to say that the people of the Wu family will kill my sister, I don't believe it!"
"Whether you believe it or not, this is a fact, and the Zhu family knows it." Yao Xitong said that he told Zhu Zhigao the truth about what they saw and heard at the post station. And said: "The post house is between Dadu and Song Land, the main and the little guy are all alive, do I have to lie to you about this kind of thing that can be easily verified?" ”
Zhu Zhigao never knew that Zhu Zhijuan and Wu Jun had received private teachings, and he didn't know that Zhu Zhijuan had hidden his younger brother from the divorce, pretending to be sick, and eloping. In addition to these, the attitude of the family is also very strange, why no one told him the truth, and how long are they going to deceive him?
"Why did they lie to me?"
"You are the concubine of the Zhu family, they are afraid that something will happen to you, and the three heroes of the Wu family are not easy to deal with."
"Can you give me news of Wu Guo?"
"Not to mention Wu Guo, I can give you all the news of the Wu family, provided that you become the head of the Zhu family."
Zhu Zhigao has always regarded himself as a businessman, and before he had a deep understanding of Yao Xitong, he felt that he was very good at doing business. The tea in hand was already cold, but the business in front of him, which only made money and did not lose money, made him hesitate.
He came to Yao Mansion to resign, and by the way, he completed the task assigned to him by Qingshanjun. Somehow, the task was completed, but he was stumped by Yao Xitong and was never able to get out of Yao's mansion.
Bypassing the wall is the gate, and the driver who has been waiting there must be anxious. What to do? knew that this business was not easy to do, but he couldn't hold back the idea of wanting to trade with Yao Xitong. It's just that Yao Xitong understands people's hearts too well, and every transaction proposed can poke at the deepest desire in his heart.
Another cold residual tea was splashed into the corner by Yao Xitong, and the steaming new tea was poured into Zhu Zhigao's teacup again. Looking at the rising white vapor, this young man who wanted to avenge his sister's grievances and help his family finally accepted Yao Xitong's proposal and tried to use his own strength to change some things.
Before that, he asked a question, "Since it is a business, the buyer and the seller must trust each other, is your information and ability to do things worthy of my trust?" ”
Yao Xitong showed the first smile after entering the door, "The bun shop is not a century-old brand, but it has always pursued Tongsuo's non-deception." If I give you false information, you can have someone take down the sign of the bun shop. ”
"You...... You ......"
Zhu Zhigao finally understood what kind of troubled waters he had stirred into, and the matter of Princess Beiliao was by no means as simple as it seemed.
The Zhu family has an unwritten family motto that the children of the clan should not be involved in political struggles at any time. Silver is inexhaustible, risks and benefits coexist, and behind the monstrous wealth are thousands of cliffs. The Zhu family only earns hard-earned money, not rich money.
Yao Xitong saw the fear that Zhu Zhigao tried to hide, and comforted: "Brother Zhu, out of this door, I am just the son of a squire of Qidi, and I married the princess's Tanhualang. The Zhu family has nothing to do with the bun shop, and you can lead the entire Zhu family to the Ming master you think. ”
This kind of comfort is worse than inconvenience, what is the matter with defecting to the Lord? Is the world going to be in chaos?
Yao ...... Tanhualang, what do you mean by that? ”
"The bun shop only does business, ignoring the court. The Zhu family must also have this kind of plan, and we have a happy cooperation. ”
Zhu Zhigao is not happy at all, if it is really like what he said - the troubled times are coming, the Zhu family's top priority is to find forces to take refuge in order to survive in the troubled times.
"Tanhualang ......" Zhu Zhigao still wanted to ask for more information, but Yao Xitong brought the residual tea that had been in his hand for a long time to his mouth.
Serve tea and send it off!
Zhu Zhigao sighed and said softly: "The son of Lord Song is marrying Princess Xisu, this is the news that Qingshan Jun asked me to tell Princess Beiliao." I think it was not Qingshanjun who let Princess Beiliao leave, but Wan Yanzhao. ”
Zhu Zhigao left, and half of the spirit that Yao Xitong had supported was instantly discharged. He walked slowly into Xiao Bao'er's room, looking for something in the room without any purpose.
He Bo followed behind him ghostly and reminded: "Childe, the old slave has searched before, and the princess has not left any letters. ”
"Who let you in?"
"Childe, old slave, this is ......" Yao Xitong, who seemed to be calm, suddenly roared at Uncle He: "Get out, get out, I don't want to see you today." ”
The small courtyard that Xiao Baoer once called home was quiet again, and Yao Xitong sat in the patio with Yin Yao in his arms and watched the stars.
Yin Yao is still not used to prosthetics, and he gnaws with his mouth when he has nothing to do, often a freshly healed wound that is bloody in the blink of an eye. It's the same today, the thick wolf blood makes the forelimbs look hideous.
Yao Xitong did not treat its wounds as he did in the past, but calmly said to it, "The prosthesis is not comfortable tied to the leg, it will make you look stupid, not at all as majestic as your father." But a prosthetic leg can make you walk steadily, exercise regularly, and even run and jump. Without this foundation, how can you be the wolf king and how can you return to the ice field? ”
Yin Yao lay in Yao Xitong's arms and arched his arm with his head, he used to cheat like this, this trick was very useful to Yao Xitong.
"Xiaoxiao is gone, I have no interest in cooking, you can be hungry with me! Actually, I like her a lot, I like to see her eat, and the feeling of satisfaction seems to be complimenting me on my good cooking skills. ”
"I knew she was leaving, but I didn't expect it to be so sudden, and she left without anything. When I left Dadu, she also brought a bow and arrows, but I am definitely not as good as Dadu here, and she didn't even bother to take the bow and arrows. ”
"If she's still around, I'll tell her that if I wait another year, I'll be able to accompany her to the end of the world. Her dream is also my dream, and every time I read the travelogue, I am deeply immersed in the famous mountains and rivers described in the book, as if that can make up for my distress of being trapped by myself......"
Yin Yao arched for a while and didn't ask for food, and couldn't help but scream at Yao Xitong a few times, who patted it on the head and said gently, "We have only been in contact for a few days, you don't know me very well, in fact, my temper is not very good, I am a person with strong emotions but pretending to be very indifferent......"
As he spoke, Yin Yao suddenly pricked up his ears and looked out the door vigilantly.
There was a knock on the door, Yao Xitong carried Yin Yao to open the door, and Er'er, who was white and chubby like a bun, stood outside the door. Seeing Yao Xitong, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the human-tall bamboo basket again, and asked, "Where do you put the things?" It took me a lot of effort to find that many. ”
Yao Xitong pointed to Xiao Bao'er's room, "Put that room!" ”
Erer put his things away and left, as if there was something in the house that would chase him. Yin Yao has been in a nervous state since he entered the door on the second and second, and his eyes have always been fixed on the bamboo basket placed in Xiao Bao'er's room.
Yao Xitong walked into Xiao Bao'er's room again, patiently closed the window, and sealed every gap in the room with a wooden plank. While working, he said to Yin Yao: "I hate Yelu Bao'er, I hate her princess status, and I hate her behavior of leaving without saying a word. Not everyone will spoil her, at least not me, this room is yours. ”
With that, he let go of the hidden chain, and the latter cautiously ran to the bamboo basket and sniffed carefully.
"Mark my words, I'm not a good-tempered person. The bamboo basket contains a mountain mouse, an animal that is very timid on weekdays, but dares to eat a tiger when it is very hungry. I've starved them for a while, and I guess I've smelled your blood by now. ”
Yao Xitong closed the door and left, and when he left, he glanced at the fur cloak that Xiao Bao'er said he wanted to give him, and then grinned bitterly. He actually believed that Xiao Bao'er would obediently stay here and change his life, believed in this person's oath and promise that he had been talking about all day long, and believed that they could wander the world together......
Lies, all lies, the more beautiful a woman is, the more she will lie.
The sound of closing the door sounded, and Yin Yao, who was staring at the bamboo basket, did not turn around and chase after Yao Xitong. It smelled the smell of food in the bamboo basket and missed the feeling of being able to bite raw meat, completely unaware of Yao Xitong's intention of locking it in the house alone.
The bamboo basket is so tall that it can only reach the middle of the basket when it stands upright, and the heavy basket cannot be overwhelmed by its weight. It circled around the basket like a child, wondering how to eat the animals inside.
There was always a sound in the basket, the sound of mountain rats gnawing on bamboo. Seeing that the basket was quickly gnawed out of a big hole, Yin Yao leaned over and grabbed a mountain mouse, and excitedly bit it into two pieces and swallowed it. It felt so good to have food in the stomach, and before it could digest the rats, the human-high baskets finally broke, and hundreds of rats covered the ground like a black tide, chirping and gnawing at everything in the house.
Yin Yao is a smart wolf, and his intuition tells him that Yao Xitong will not open the door, and there can only be one life between it and the mountain rat. The prosthesis is gone, the forepaw is still bleeding, can it survive in this situation?
The next day, Yao Xitong calmly drank porridge and read a book, as if life had always been like this, Xiao Baoer never appeared and never left.
Uncle He said with a smiling face, "There was no movement in the next room this morning, only rats were gnawed, do you want me to go in and have a look?" ”
"No, the deserving ones won't die."
He Bo said again: "Lord Fanghua's people have already taken the medicine, and the news has also spread, do you need me to keep an eye on Lord Chen's mansion?" ”
Not long ago, Xiao Huafang came to the bun shop to buy medicine, all kinds of medicines, crazy, sleepy, forgetful, and spring-like. The bun shop took a large sum of money and sent her a message by the way.
Yao Xitong once said that he would kill Gao Wenyu to help Xiao Bao'er change his life. For a long time, he has been looking for Gao Wenyun's weaknesses, wondering where this unsmiling iron-blooded general will vent his tender side.
Gao Wenyu has an outer house, and Lord Chen's mansion knows it up and down, but no one knows who the outer house is and where he lives.
Gao Mian's mother was Gao Wenyun's outer house, and Gao Wenyu protected them very well, until Gao Mian's identity needed to be recognized by the clan, he took the outer house and Gao Mian back to the house to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.
In Chendi, Gao Wenyu didn't trust his family, he only trusted the private soldiers he brought out, and this group of people guarded his safety in two groups, light and dark. Everyone can see the soldiers in the light, but no one knows who the soldiers are or how many they are, and he will only show his strength when necessary.
In the last equestrian competition, the people who saved Xiao Bao'er were Gao Wenyu's private soldiers, and he used his behavior to warn everyone in the mansion, and he had the final say in the mansion!
In short, Gao Wenyu is the king of Chendi, and it takes luck to dig his secrets on his territory.
Yao Xitong was lucky, but it was by accident that he found Gao Wenyu's outer house. He went to the pharmacy to dispense medicine for Xiao Bao'er, and accidentally found that someone grabbed medicinal herbs to make sauce soup, and knew that there was a delicious dish called sauce plate duck, so he took the opportunity to return to the village with the duck seller, wanting to see if the sauce plate duck was delicious.
