Chapter 80: Longshan Black Pottery
Wang Ye was trained by Murong He as a grandson in public, Wang Hong hung his head, his hands clenched under his sleeves, at this moment, he somewhat understood why his father was bent on letting him marry the daughter of the prince, looking at these people present all sneering at their Wang family, as well as his uncle Jiyang Hou's contempt for their Wang family, Wang Hong felt sad in his heart, thinking that his uncle Murong He was inferior to them, and after spending all the money, he would only wag his tail and beg for mercy in front of the late Jiyang Hou Murong Su, and use Murong Su's reputation to deceive, also went to their royal house many times to borrow money. Over the years, it turned out that his uncle Murong He had been pretending, and in vain he thought that his uncle had to do those things as a last resort, Wang Hong, Wang Hong, when do you still have to deceive yourself, today's uncle and aunt are no longer the uncle and aunt of five years ago, you should wake up.
The atmosphere in the main hall was depressing, and with so many people present, how could Murong He let go of such a good opportunity not to reprimand the Wang family a few words, in order to show that he was just doing things and never shielded himself for personal gain, even if Wang Ye was his brother-in-law, he would treat everyone equally and impartially.
Jiyang Hou understands the righteousness, Lu Shanchang admired, and said to Du Yanshe, "Brother Du, you have a good vision for marrying Murong Houfu." ”
The Jiyang Hou Mansion and the Bianzhou Du family are sons and daughters, and the people here look at Murong He differently, who doesn't know that Mr. Du is now highly valued by the emperor, and sooner or later he will enter the cabinet, and he is the best candidate for Zaifu, climbing the Du family, this Jiyang Hou Mansion will inevitably be a rising tide, and the future is limitless.
"Congratulations to Mr. Du, congratulations to Jiyanghou."
"Miss Chang of the Murong Hou Mansion is a match made in heaven with Du Gongzi."
……
All of you here are the heads of the famous families of Qizhou, they were not close to Murong He in the past, to be exact, they are still waiting, betting on whether this Qizhou is Dingyuan Bo Ma Rong, or Jiyang waiting for Murong He, but today I saw Mr. Du talking everywhere to defend Murong He, they each have an idea in their hearts, although the prince of Qi is respected, but the Du family should not be underestimated, and the King of Qi is old and mediocre, suspicious and heavy, in recent years, it seems that there is a meaning to change the prince, so to speak, or Jiyang Hou Murong He is better.
Murong He was proud, but his face was more modest and cautious.
Wang Ye was so angry that his eyes were on fire, villain, whole villain, begged their Wang family when he was down, well, now that it is developed, he looks down on their Wang family, and if he doesn't help their Wang family, forget it, and seize the opportunity to say that their Wang family relies on the Jiyang Hou Mansion to collect money everywhere, and tramples on their Wang family to improve his reputation in Jiyang Hou, despicable.
Wang Hong shook his head while helping Wang Ye to calm down, preventing Wang Ye from clashing with Murong He again. With the strength of their Wang family, how could they compete with the Jiyang Hou Mansion, no matter how much money there is, it will always be less than a power word, and when the Jiyang Hou asks the Qizhou prefect to seize their Wang family, they will have nothing.
But Murong He did not leave the Wang family in three sentences, and trained the Wang family to be greedy, Wang Hong couldn't listen to it, greedy, no matter how greedy the Wang family was, if the Jiyang Hou Mansion was greedy, half of the silver earned by the Wang family went into the pocket of the Jiyang Hou Mansion. On the surface, his uncle Murong He said that it was for the people of Qizhou, but he didn't know how much it was used on the people.
Alas, he persuaded his father not to have anything to do with the Jiyang Hou Mansion anymore, but his father didn't listen.
"Hong'er, where are you going?" Seeing Wang Hong get up to leave, Wang Ye stopped him and asked.
Wang Hong smiled bitterly, "It's stuffy here, my son goes out to breathe." ”
The housekeeper of the Xiao family waited aside, saw Wang Hong stand up, and sent a small servant to follow, "My son-in-law has ordered, Wang Gongzi is an old acquaintance, so you don't need to see too much." ”
Wang Hong has always been generous, and he has helped Xiao Yan in Jiangnan, but he didn't expect Xiao Yan to repay the favor, and he actually specially ordered his subordinates to lead him into the back garden of Xiao's house. Wang Hong was not polite at the moment, and went out with the little guy.
The Xiao family's house is not big, and there are two entrances before and after. The main hall in front, the inner house in the back, and a bridge and pavilion were built in the middle.
Wang Hong walked casually, during which he asked a few questions to the little guy, and the little guy answered it well, Wang Hong was secretly surprised in his heart, even a little guy was hidden, and he spoke cautiously, this Xiao family is not simple.
"Where is that?" Wang Hong turned around and found that there was a small door in the house that was closed. Outside the small door, there were more than ten people standing in the nursing home, as if all the nursing homes of the Xiao family had been called to one place.
The little servant said respectfully, "Back to the prince, that's where my lord lives." ”
Master Xiao doesn't ask about world affairs, and all things inside and outside the house are handed over to Xiao Ergongzi to take care of, Wang Hong glanced at it, and secretly thought that if it was just Master Xiao's residence, he would not send so many people to guard, most of it was related to the mysterious owner of Qishan. If he remembered correctly, the place where the Thirteenth Prince led Miss Murong Fifth into just now happened to be in this courtyard.
Wang Hong glanced at it again silently, took a few steps back, and felt more and more strange as he walked. From Jiangnan, to Qizhou, and then he sued his uncle Murong Hexiao's family, this series of things seems to be so coincidental.
What went wrong?
Wang Hong suddenly felt a little worried about the fifth cousin Murong Qingran, who had lost his parents, she was the most reluctant to discard a chess piece by his uncle Murong He, with her, those who were loyal to the late Jiyang Hou Murong Su would not dare to act rashly.
"Brother Wang Hong." At this time, Xiao Yan walked out of the small door.
Wang Hong arched his hand, "Brother Xiao brought me here, I don't know what to teach." "Ordinary people's inner house, outsiders are not allowed to enter at will, he and Xiao Yan at most have a few sides in Jiangnan, not to mention deep friendship, Xiao Yan asked the little guy to take him into the inner house, by no means simply let him come to the inner house to enjoy the scenery.
"In business, Brother Wang Hong and I are both businessmen, hehe, naturally what we are talking about is business."
Xiao Yan's speech is weak, and his voice is also weak, with a sick attitude, but every word he said made Wang Hong more vigilant, Wang Hong is a genuine businessman, for businessmen, if you don't find out the details of the other party, you will talk about business, most of them will lose, Wang Hong smiled, "Our Wang family and your Xiao family don't seem to have any business to discuss." ”
The Wang family does business if it is, no matter what kind of business it is, and the Xiao family is low-key, and the business they do is also in order, compared with the Wang family's daily progress, it is fundamentally different. As soon as Xiao Yan proposed to do business with the Wang family, Wang Hong didn't take it seriously, only Xiao Yan said a joke.
Xiao Yan pointed to the stone bench not far away and said, "Brother Wang Hong, let's sit down and talk." ”
"Our Xiao family has a mountain villa in Longshan Town......"
Longshan Town, the most famous is rice and black pottery, Xiao Yan revealed a little, Wang Hong guessed, "Longshan black pottery belongs to your Xiao family!" ”
In the states and counties near Qizhou, who does not use Longshan black pottery, all kinds of pots, pots, cups, and tripods...... Almost every family has it, and the best black pottery is only Longshan. Wang Hong was shocked, a single Longshan black pottery, is decades of industry, although the Wang family has risen rapidly in five years, but the foundation is still shallow, if it is really hard to fight, it will never be cheap.
"Brother Xiao, I have been in business with my father since I was a child, I haven't read much, and I always don't like to beat around the bush. In the past few days, you have publicized the whereabouts of the master of Qishan, attracting people from these noble families near Qizhou to come to visit, I think, your main purpose is to attract the attention of my uncle Jiyanghou. "It's a good thing for the world to drop pies, Wang Hong thinks that it won't happen to him, Xiao Yan talks to him about business, it should be his relationship with the Marquis of Jiyang.
"Murong He, heh..."What Jiyang Hou, a villain who occupies a magpie's nest, Xiao Yan laughed, and then said, "Brother Wang Hong, your Wang family helped Jiyang Hou in times of crisis, but now, the little brother sees that Jiyang Hou does not have much protection for your Wang family, I heard that your Wang family just earned a sum of money last month, and was treated as a favor by Jiyang Hou, sent it to the people, and bought people's hearts." ”
Good information, where the money went, he had just heard his father mention it, Wang Hong was surprised, "You are sending someone to follow our Wang family." ”
Xiao Yan was cold, and coughed a few times, "Brother Wang Hong doesn't need to be too surprised, Jiyang Hou is so fanfare, how can such a thing be hidden." Ahem...... To tell the truth, my Xiao family has the goods, but we need your Wang family's way, as for the profit after the transaction, we can discuss it again. Brother Wang Hong, although the Jiyang Hou Mansion is powerful, what does it have to do with your Wang family, to put it mildly, he Jiyang is waiting for him to be the king of the day, can your Wang family still be able to rise to prominence and get rid of the identity of a businessman? ”
Murong He now looks down on the Wang family, and when the position of the marquis sits firmly, he will not take the Wang family in his eyes, Wang Hong thinks of the many difficulties and scoldings of his uncle Ji Yanghou to the Wang family in the main hall, and his heart is not a good feeling, but his aunt Wang is good to him, Wang Hong hesitated, "Brother Xiao, you let me think about it." "If you have money to earn, you are a fool not to make money. Wang Hong thought of the thirteen princes, as well as the master of Qishan behind the thirteen princes, and a cold air rose in his heart, and it was really for his uncle Murong He.
"That's good, buying and selling is what you and I want, and my Xiao family never buys and sells." Xiao Yan said weakly.
Wang Hong got up, bowed his hand, took two steps, as if thinking of something, and couldn't help asking, "Can you tell me, who is the thirteenth prince taking Miss Murong Fifth to meet?" "If there were still a few doubts just now, but now, Wang Hong dares to be 100% sure that the master of Qishan is not in the Xiao family at all. I heard that the master of Qishan was the most disdainful of participating in secular disputes, if he was here, how could he allow the Thirteenth Prince and Xiao Yan to behave like this in Qizhou.
"Brother Wang Hong, she seems to be related to you." Xiao Yan kindly reminded him, and after speaking, he re-entered the small door.
Wang Hong was stunned, indeed, the daughter of the late Jiyang Hou had nothing to do with him, but in the past five years, because he has been to the Jiyang Hou Mansion many times, in addition to seeing his fourth cousin Murong Qingluan, the most he has seen is the lonely little girl. Every time, she was reluctantly dragged in front of him by her fourth cousin, and when she saw him, she didn't even bother to lift her eyelids. Give her a gift, and she accepts it lukewarmly; Talking to her, she pretended to be deaf and stupid......
Alas, he was only ten years old.
Wang Hong sighed, and finally felt a little uneasy, so he quietly followed Xiao Yan and followed.
