Huang was notoriously harsh, and she replied that since the sales contract had been made, it had to be executed in accordance with the articles of association. If you want to open a teahouse, you can also do it, as long as it is your own family member of the Huangfu family, but it doesn't hurt to open it! ”

"Does she mean she wants to join forces with us?"

Hua Jingtian looked at Xia Qingyun and looked a little nervous.

"It's not about mergers. What she meant was to let Qingyun marry her eldest son, Huangfu Xiangdong, as a concubine. Otherwise, it must be in accordance with the contract, and the tea can only be sold by the Huangfu firm. Not only can't the teahouse in Zhili be opened, but I'm afraid that the teahouse and teahouse in Yuzhou will also have to close, otherwise she will sue the government and sue Qingyun for not keeping the contract! ”

Xia Qingyun's face sank, "Uncle, did Uncle Zheng say that this is the meaning of the Huang family, or the meaning of Huangfu to the east?" ”

"I didn't ask. However, Uncle Zheng wants me to remind you that if the Huang family invites you to come to the door to negotiate, you must be careful. ”

While the three of them were talking, the letter from the emperor's family was also delivered.

Xia Qingyun opened it and saw that it was indeed written by the Huang family, inviting her to Beijing to discuss the teahouse.

Yao Xili and Hua Jingtian immediately said that they would accompany her. Xia Qingyun thought about it, Zhengbo and Yao Xili are relatives, and the Yao family and the Hua family are the same spirit, with this relationship, even if the two of them go, it is not easy to talk.

"Big uncle, third uncle, I'd better go by myself. If you go, it will make it difficult for Zhengbo. ”

If it weren't for Huang Fuzheng, she wouldn't have been able to earn the first pot of gold, and this kindness has always been in her heart. So, she can't embarrass Zhengbo.

In the Huangfu mansion, there is a huge Nanmu tea table in the flower hall. Huang sat on the phoenix wing chair and soaked a pot of the best white peony and tasted it slowly.

"Mother, are you sure to convince Miss Qingyun?"

Huangfu Xiangdong sat opposite, put down the teacup in his hand and asked.

Huang said unhappily: "A country girl, as for making you so nervous!" There is a contract in our hands, and calling her to discuss it is to promote her! ”

"Mother! I'm not talking about teahouses. is based on her temperament, maybe she will not agree to be only a concubine. ”

"Why, she still wants to be a flat wife! Don't even think about it. It would be a great blessing to be able to give her a name. A peasant girl, how can she be compared with the third lady of the governor of Jiangbei! ”

Huang took a sip of tea and said earnestly, "To the east." I'm just a son like you. You have to know how many grievances I have endured for you over the years, and I hope that you will be able to become an official. When the time comes. This great family business that I am guarding for you. It's not all yours! ”

Huang is the wife of Huangfu Huazang. He has the eldest son, Huangfu Xiangdong, and the second empress, Fu Yuqing. In addition to her, Huangfu Huazang also married a two-room concubine, and was later raised as an aunt.

To the south of Huangfu is the second aunt Shen. He followed merchant ships to sea all year round. He is not involved in any other family business.

In Huang's words, a good man has ambitions in all directions, and it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, see a lot of knowledge, and help the family take care of business in the future.

In fact, she wished that the merchant ship would be sunk at sea, and the emperor would never come back to the south, and all the property in the family would rightfully belong to her own son.

Shen naturally guessed Huang's crooked thoughts, and she also cried and begged Huangfu Huazang to ask him not to let him go to sea in the south again. Huangfu's firm is all over the country, even if he is assigned a small shop to operate.

But the Huangfu Huazang's mind has been on making friends with the court officials over the years, and most of the business is handed over to the Huang family, and some is handed over to the Huangfu Xiangdong, which is assisted by Zhengbo.

Huangfu Huazang was impatient with Shen's crying, but felt that she didn't know what was going on, and gradually didn't go to her, and Shen couldn't see him a few times in a month, so the matter of Xiangnan was naturally over.

Now that Huangfu is preparing to participate in the palace examination in the east, he will hand over the business at hand to his mother.

Huang is an extremely strong and top-notch woman, and she will not let go of anything that comes into her hands without benefits.

As soon as she heard Zhengbo mention the opening of a teahouse, she was the first to disagree.

The profit of tea is quite huge, and the Huangfu firm sells it exclusively, and the price is several times higher than the purchase price. When it comes to the fat in the mouth, how can it be justified to spit it out again?

Huangfu Zheng explained that Xia Qingyun's teahouse was not mainly for selling tea, and the sales volume would not affect the business of Huangfu's firm. Moreover, after drinking tea in the teahouse, tea customers will find the Huangfu firm to buy tea, which is good for business.

Huang categorically disagreed, the reason is, isn't the tea in the teahouse also made from tea? As long as it is tea, it can only be sold exclusively by Huangfu Firm, which is the contract signed by her Xia Qingyun in black and white! If we hadn't sold it for her, I'm afraid she wouldn't have seen so much silver in her life!

She said not without meanness: "I heard that Xia Qingyun has opened a tea house and a teahouse in Yuzhou, and he is still a shareholder with the Yao family of the Hua family, are you also a piece of the pie?" Don't forget, who is your master! ”

Zhengbo's face was pale for a while, but he didn't expect Huang to be so unsympathetic. Under the eaves, he had to bow his head, he could only swallow his anger, and wanted to go and talk to Huangfu Xiangdong again, begging him to say good things to the Huang family.

After Huangfu Xiangdong came back from Hejian, the first thing he did was to find the Huang family, but he not only talked about opening a teahouse, but also tactfully said his thoughts about Xia Qingyun.

The Huang family laughed when they heard it, if Xia Qingyun was married into the door, wouldn't the Qingyun Tea Garden naturally become the property of the Huangfu family?

But there is one rule, you can only enter the door as a concubine, and the position of the young grandmother of the Huangfu family is to be reserved for Jiang Meirong, the third lady of the governor of Jiangbei.

As long as Xia Qingyun agrees to enter the door, she is a member of the Huangfu family, and she can open as many teahouses as she wants!

When Huangfu Xiangdong heard that his mother had agreed, he was overjoyed to find Zhengbo and tell him the good news.

But to Zhengbo's ears, this is not good news. With his understanding of Xia Qingyun, she would never agree to be a concubine for others.

He came to the flower hall and wanted to talk to Huangfu Xiangdong again, but he didn't expect to hear the secret conversation between their mother and son.

"What if Qingyun doesn't agree, mother, I really like her very much!"

"Don't say yes? As long as the raw rice is cooked into rice, see how pretentious she is. Huang smiled contemptuously, "She doesn't want to discuss the teahouse, then I'll invite her to dinner." ”

She lowered her voice and said, "When the time comes, drink the secret acacia wine, and the next thing is not up to you." ”

"This and that"

"What this and that, a manly man, I don't have any courage at all, how can I bear the great cause of the emperor's family in the future! It's just a country girl, and it's not as good as your two roomboys! That's it, I'll write to you. ”

Huang said and stood up. Zhengbo hurriedly hid to the side, and after the mother and son left, he hurriedly found Hua Sedum and asked him to rush to the river to remind Xia Qingyun. (To be continued......)
