Chapter 146: Elders
Since the well-known dart bureau was rejected by Zhao Ye, the news that a secret caravan was willing to pay out of his own pocket to transport goods for Zhao Ye for free for March has spread, and after everyone knows about this matter, the entire business community in Huanjing has exploded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoEveryone has speculated, who is so generous and dares to throw such a long line?
In terms of financial resources and background, the suspicion of the Shen family is the greatest. People in the business world know that Zhao Ding and the deceased Shen Zishan once dealt with each other, and the two once had a disagreement, and his son took the initiative to show favor to Zhao Ding after his death, which was simply slapping him in the face in public.
Outsiders just gossip and talk about it, don't dare to do anything. But those elders of the Shen family can't be listened to as a joke, and they can't ignore such a thing that endangers the Shen family's face. No, Shen Zhaoyan had just gotten the news, and they had already gathered in the Shen Mansion.
Shen Zhaoyan was busy outside, and Cheng Yizhi sent someone to call him back.
The elders of the Shen family gathered in the front hall of the Shen Mansion, and before Shen Zhaoyan came back, Cheng Yizhi asked Zhong Liyue to take the top hair tips that Shen Zhaoyan usually drank to the front hall to serve tea.
"Did something big happen?" Zhong Liyue asked suspiciously, and asked the little girl who came to call her.
The little guy flicked his sleeves, threw down a sentence of 'how do I know', and then urged him to leave.
Zhong Liyue was a little uneasy in her heart, went to the master bedroom to get the tea leaves, soaked them in hot water, and hurriedly walked out of the bamboo garden and walked to the banquet hall of the Shen Mansion.
Cheng Yizhi was standing at the door, and when he saw her coming, he raised his chin at her and motioned for her to go in quickly.
Zhong Liyue hung her head, moved her steps slightly, and walked into the hall unhurriedly.
The last time she came to this hall, it was when she first entered the Shen Mansion and the big kitchen caught fire.
As soon as she entered the house, Zhong Liyue saw a room of older men, sitting on both sides, hooking their heads to each other, talking, all wearing brocade clothes. Visually they are in their thirties and fifties. However, it seems that the youngest ones are all old-fashioned, Zhong Liyue can't help but sigh: Ancient people are really precocious!
But who are they?
At this time, Shen Zhaoyan must be busy outside, so they can't be the shopkeeper, and they don't seem to have come to him to talk about business. Who could that be? Zhong Liyue was a little worried, it couldn't be something big, right? Looking at their faces, it doesn't seem to be very good, and it must not be a good thing.
Walking through the hall, Zhong Liyue walked to the side of the first seat with doubts and stood still.
Standing still, she listened carefully to what they were saying.
Although their voices were not loud, Zhong Liyue still heard them talking about Shen Zhaoyan's establishment of a shipping dart bureau. Looking at Cheng Yizhi talking to one of them, as if he was calling him 'uncle', Zhong Liyue suddenly understood that these people were all elders of the Shen family. They didn't seem very happy when they learned about Shen Zhaoyan's establishment of the Shipping Dart Bureau.
Zhong Liyue couldn't help but sigh, could it be that as the head of the family, couldn't he even make his own decisions about this matter? Do you want them to jump out and oppose it en masse? Zhong Liyue began to sympathize with Shen Zhaoyan a little.
After listening for a while, Zhong Liyue couldn't help but light up when she heard that someone of them mentioned the name of 'Zhao Ding'.
The more she listened, the happier her heart became.
It turned out that they were not crusading against Shen Zhaoyan for setting up a shipping dart bureau, but because of the matter of consignment for Zhao Ding for three months for free. They suspected that Shen Zhaoyan had done this.
Oops, she did it, so she has the ability to come to her! Zhong Liyue was so unhappy, Ping Yuyao got this thing done, they were half of the success, as long as the next things were done well, turning over would be just around the corner. She almost couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and jumped up and cheered.
But at the same time, she was a little apologetic.
Zhaoyan, they have wronged you, but I can't stand up and clarify for you, you must be considerate of me!
The joy of victory quickly overcame that little guilt, and Zhong Liyue actually had the leisure to admire the luxuriously decorated hall in front of him at this moment.
The last time she came, because of the urgency of the matter, Zhong Liyue didn't dare to take a few more glances at this magnificent and wealthy banquet room. This time, as a tea maid who specializes in serving Shen Zhaoyan, she only needs to stand there and wait for the arrival of her master, and she doesn't need to greet other visitors.
Therefore, Zhong Liyue couldn't help but roll her eyes and began to look at the hall of this ancient wealthy family in detail.
"What's the matter with you, girl? Don't even have a standing photo? An old man sitting on the right noticed that Zhong Liyue's eyes were looking around, not like an honest maid, and he couldn't help but reprimand angrily.
Zhong Liyue hurriedly retracted her gaze, lowered her head, and replied respectfully: "The old man is angry, the slave maid has sand in her eyes, and she is a little uncomfortable, so she turned her eyes and wanted the sand to run out." ”
The old man leaned at her dissatisfied, how unpleasant it was. After a pause, he asked Cheng Yizhi, who was waiting on the side: "I heard that Zhaoyan accepted a concubine, is there such a thing?" ”
"Uh~~~" Cheng Yizhi's tone was stunned, and his eyes swept over Zhong Liyue, a little hesitant. To say or not to say? Let's say, Zhaoyan hasn't been officially announced yet, don't say it, who doesn't know? Uncle Tai has heard about it, if he doesn't say it, wouldn't he be suspected of deception?
"Tell you, what's going on, spitting?" The old man smacked his lips dissatisfiedly and said.
"Back to Uncle Tai's words, Zhao Yan has never said this to his juniors." Cheng Yizhi pondered for a moment and replied.
It turns out that this old man is an uncle! Zhong Liyue couldn't help but raise her eyes curiously and glanced at him. His hair is only half white, and there are not many folds on his face, and he looks like he is only fifty years old. So young!
Looking at the big housekeeper again, he looked frightened when answering the question, and the position where the uncle was sitting, Zhong Liyue judged that he should be the highest among all the elders of the Shen family. There are a total of eight people who came today, each of them is above Shen Zhaoyan's age, and two of them look only three or five years older than Shen Zhaoyan, and they are also elders?
Just when she was curious about the identities of these people, Shen Zhaoyan came in.
shouted to Uncle Tai first, and then bowed to the other seven in order. Judging from the ranking of the elders he called, the Shen family is a super family, and what came today is just the tip of the iceberg.
It's strange, Second Master Shen's family lives next to here, which is the closest, why didn't he come to join in the fun this time?
Zhong Liyue had doubts in her heart, but her behavior did not stop for a moment, Shen Zhaoyan came to the top and was about to sit down, she poured a cup of tea in time, and then served it with both hands.
Shen Zhaoyan took it and took a sip, then put the teacup on the coffee table beside him.
With a sigh of relief, everyone began to ask questions.
"Zhaoyan, it is rumored outside that you are transporting goods for Zhao Ding for free for three months, but is there such a thing?" Uncle Tai asked first.
"Outsiders know that my father and Zhao Ye are not in agreement, how dare Zhaoyan take the initiative to show favor to him after he passes away?" Shen Zhao's tone was quite displeased, "Elders, in your eyes, Zhaoyan is such an unscrupulous person? ”
"No, of course it's best." The third uncle said openly: "We know that you are filial, and in order to keep filial piety for your father, even the marriage has been completely postponed." In fact, even if this is true, I don't think it's anything, if your father is still alive, maybe he can also make friends with that Zhao Ding, in the business field, how can there be any enemies? Harmony can make money! (To be continued.) )
