1248, favors
- After Yan Yu became the head of the Zhongzhou Branch, he almost became the spokesperson of the Yan family's business affairs in the Nanzhao realm, and often came to Kyoto to meet with the emperor of Nanzhao, who was very interested in the strategy of rejuvenating the country through commerce, to discuss some things, but he never set foot in the Dongfeng Tower. Even if a businessman recommended it to him more than once, saying that the fun show in Dongfeng Building and Qinglou are completely different things.
Ruan Luo stood on the side of the door of the private room on the second floor and glanced out. Confirming that among the several people in the hall, there was indeed Yan Yuqi, he withdrew his gaze and couldn't help but stare at it.
The middle of the first floor and the second floor of the Dongfeng Building is opened, so the hall on the first floor is very open. Usually, there are dancing girls performing songs and dances on the small high platform in the center of the hall on the first floor, and guests in the high and low places can watch it, and it is convenient to directly throw silver to reward. And if you are sitting on the first floor, if you have a sharp eye, you can see the guests sitting in the private room on the second floor when you look up.
Of course, the second floor is equipped with some more enclosed private rooms for some guests who need to spend money. At this time, Ruan Luo stayed in such a private room. It's just that after a while, Dongfeng Building will officially start today's business, and he is afraid that he will have to show up in front of Yan Yu.
After knowing Ruan Luo's predicament, Mo Ye also felt that this matter was a little difficult to handle. Because of the semi-open architectural pattern on the first and second floors of Dongfeng Building, as soon as Ruan Luo walked out of this door, Yan Yu in the hall on the first floor would definitely be able to see him.
It's just that he really has to avoid Yan Yu like this?
Maybe when we really met, everyone sat down calmly to talk about gossip, that little old summary. Can it be completely healed?
Just as Mo Ye thought of this, a person's voice suddenly came from downstairs. With a certain firm and confident emotion, but not from Yan Yu.
"Three times to determine the winner, if you win in the next place, you can take Miss Xie away. If you lose it, then ...... That's impossible. ”
In the last half of this sentence, a kind of madness suddenly appeared. The two people in the private room on the second floor immediately looked downstairs together, and in the hall downstairs, all the women also showed their anger when they heard this.
This uninvited guest, there is a bit of a hard way to take people away in his tone! But what is Dongfeng Tower? What kind of place are these people in Dongfeng Tower?
At this time, it is not the official opening time of the building. And in the face of the group of guests who suddenly arrived in front of him, there was a certain momentum in his tone. Of course, the women refused to buy it. And the confrontation is not allowed at all.
It is still the center of the eleventh hairpin in the east wind, and the old three heads are relatively straight and hard. Standing up and taking a step, he glanced at the young man in front of him, who was dressed in gray linen, had a square face, a serious expression, and couldn't help but show a crazy attitude in his tone, and suddenly hooked his lips and smiled contemptuously, and said, "What did this little Langjun say?" Are you all tradable goods for the girls in our building? ”
The young man in Mai stared slightly. Then he spoke: "Miss Xie is the woman that Yi cherishes in his heart. Priceless can be exchanged for the emperor of the ancient times to read the full text. If you have to change it. Then I had to take Yi's heart away. ”
As soon as he said this, his tone seemed to have completely reversed, and even Sanniang was stunned. There was silence for a long time before he subconsciously glanced behind him.
Xie Lianyi, the fifth of the eleven hairpins in the east wind, has disappeared.
The two people in the private room on the second floor had already retracted their eyes into the room, and the two words that the young man surnamed Mai surnamed Yi had said before and after, and both of them had heard them. It may be that the previous round of kissing has just left, and the atmosphere is still in the building, so after hearing the words of the Mai humans who arrived later, the two are vaguely aware of a problem.
Mo Ye stood on this side of the door frame, looked at Ruan Luo opposite, and hissed: "It's not going to be another trip, right?" ”
Ruan Luo, who was standing on the other side of the door frame, raised his hand and touched his chin: "Maybe ......"
Immediately, the two walked to the window opposite the door, and looked out, except for a few people who looked like domestic servants standing on the street in front of the building, eighty percent of them were brought by the group of people who were standing in the building at this time, and there were some petals on the ground that were spilled when the silk merchant Hu Xun came to pick up the relatives, and there was nothing else.
The two retracted their gazes, walked to the table and sat down, thinking for a moment, Mo Ye hissed again: "I didn't bring a dowry." ”
"Maybe ......" Ruan Luo shook the hand holding the walnut tongs and pinched a walnut, but he didn't say anything more.
Because downstairs came the voice of the young man in sackcloth.
"Ripples, don't avoid me, I have already negotiated an agreement with Yan Shao, if I succeed in the challenge today, I will ......"
"Fool!"
Before the young man in Mai finished speaking, he was blocked by a sudden woman's voice, although the woman was reprimanding, her tone was very delicate and soft.
When Ruan Luo and Mo Ye approached the door again and looked out, they happened to see light Luo Caiyi floating through the corridor on the second floor, as if a woman had entered another private room, and closed the door with a "bang-" sound.
Seeing this scene, Mo Ye couldn't help but say, "If the group of people downstairs really came to pick up relatives, it might be difficult for you to avoid Yan Yu." ”
Ruan Luo made a gesture of spreading his hands, did not speak, and looked a little helpless.
If the young man in Mai downstairs also wants to take over the kiss, then he will definitely go up to the second floor, and the private room that Wuniang Xie Lianyi hides in will become the party that receives the relatives to "overcome" the defense, and another "war of hatred and marriage" will be staged in the Dongfeng Building.
At that time, the man's group of helpers will go up to the second floor to help, and Ruan Luo is likely to meet Yan Yu in the round corridor. When the time comes, let Yan Yu know that Ruan Luo has been upstairs all along, and deliberately want to avoid him, I am afraid that the knot in his heart a few years ago will not only not be unsolved, but the estrangement will deepen even more.
After hesitating for a moment, Mo Ye finally couldn't help but say, "Maybe you come forward to have a good talk with Yan Yu, maybe nothing will happen." With such a big family business, they may not necessarily care about that little thing. ”
Ruan Luo pondered for a moment, then hesitated and said: "Maybe what you said is a solution, just blame me for not playing that little slippery head back then, Buddhism often says that cause and effect, it seems that this truth is showing to me." ”
Mo Ye smiled and said: "How can it be so serious, if Yan Yu is a friend of you, you won't really care about this little thing at all." ”
"I'm sorry for his father's ......" Before he finished speaking, Ruan Luo stopped his voice. In his opinion. This old thing is really not suitable for discussing more with Mo Ye in this occasion, let's think more about the things in front of us.
After pondering for a moment, Ruan Luo breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then said to Mo Ye: "Look again, if they are here to pick up relatives, they can't interfere with this atmosphere because of my business." ”
Mo Ye felt as if he had just said this, and when she thought about it, she remembered that it was just now that he had a headache and mentioned a similar sentence, which made her feel a little emotional. Ruan Luo has this kind of temperament. It seems that others are more anxious than him in everything. And now that both ends of the matter are in front of him, the good and bad of his character can also be fully reflected.
She knew that she would have to wait for the young man surnamed Yi to get things done before Ruan Luo would come forward to solve his own old summary.
So she didn't continue to force him. I just looked downstairs again with him.
The atmosphere in the lobby on the first floor has changed a bit. The small high platform in the center of the hall was originally used for the singing and dancing performances of the women in the building. By this time, all the fancy furnishings had been removed, and only two wooden tables remained, one of which was piled with a stack of booklets.
Ruan Luo was extremely familiar with this kind of booklet. They were the white books that merchants used to use, and the pages were all white paper, with only neat long lines printed. The biggest difference between the numerical writing of accounts and ordinary books is that the writing of account books is based on those printing lines as the path, which is written horizontally, not vertically.
Looking from the side of the stack of account books, it is not difficult to find gray marks, and even one or two of them have some yellowed paper, which is not a short time to shelve. Even without opening them, Ruan Luo could deduce that these white books had been filled in with dense numbers and were no longer white books.
Ruan Luo condescendingly looked at the young man who had not said a word in the hall on the first floor since he entered the building, but was standing a few steps behind the young man in Mai, and suddenly said in surprise: "I am suddenly very curious, what is the agreement negotiated with Yan Yu that this young man in Mai said just now." ”
Even if Ruan Luo didn't take words as a point, Mo Ye had already discovered Yan Yu's location at this time, and this person's unique dress made him stand in that pile of people, but he looked extraordinarily outstanding.
Maybe it's because of the precious and dazzling green jade on his crown, maybe it's because of his glorious Qingtuan brocade, maybe it's the kind of calmness and confidence that he naturally hides between his eyebrows, so he just stands there quietly, even if he doesn't say a word, his whole person naturally glows with an aura completely different from the people around him, a veteran's top-secret file - the latest chapter of history that should have been sealed in the dust.
But he came to Dongfeng Tower with the young man in Mai, and it seemed that he had been just a foil and a spectator, but his foil was too conspicuous, which made the young man in Mai singing the home at this time a little shabby.
Such a seemingly reversed relationship between primary and secondary also vaguely reveals an unusual atmosphere.
Therefore, when Mo Ye heard Ruan Luo's sudden surprised words, she was also suspicious in her heart, and couldn't help but say, "Yan family...... Also do 'usury'? ”
'Usury' is a business that uses money to make money, and the principal is released, and when it is recovered, in addition to returning the principal, it can also earn a high amount of interest. However, it is not easy to make a big business because it will involve many disputes.
How can ordinary people borrow 'usurious silver', only when they are cornered. And if the borrower is unable to get through even his relatives and friends, then his so-called desperate situation may really become a point of no return.
As the proprietor, once the silver is released, it may be like a basin of water spilled out, and it cannot be recovered. Unless there is that kind of carpet power, scraping the skin...... The Yan family seems to have this ability, but the Yan family has made the family business so big, which is the true nature of their family's business, but it is not for the convenience of doing 'usury' business.
What's more, with the strength of the Yan family's family background and the stability of the family industry, they can completely disdain to do that kind of side business.
Just listening to the tone and content of the Mai young man surnamed Yi at the beginning, it seemed that he had 'borrowed' something from the Yan family, but he was unable to repay it at this time, and he only had the courage of Yibo. If you lose, you will fall to the bottom of the cliff.
But if this young man in Mai really borrowed something from the Yan family, it seems that the purpose of his 'borrowing' is not for business, but for a woman named Xie Lianyi in Dongfeng Tower.
Debt-ridden, just for a woman? When you think about it, you can't help but cry out crazy. Although the women in Dongfeng Tower want to have a good home for the rest of their lives, they definitely don't want to marry such a husband, because the wealth and family business they enjoy in this way are all beautiful in appearance but no real bubble.
The life in the Dongfeng Building is full of luxury, but if the women in the building really want to leave here. The first condition for marrying a wife may be just to seek peace of mind.
Just now he swore the same words as the young man in sackcloth, but Wu Niang Xie Lianyi walked away and slammed the door to avoid seeing him. Maybe it's because you see through this, right?
And if the young man in Mai had prepared such conditions, that is, if he wanted to come to pick up his relatives, the women in the Dongfeng Building would probably be difficult to let go.
Facing Mo Ye's questioning question, Ruan Luo pondered for a long time, and finally said softly: "It may not be a matter of silver. Possible...... This young man surnamed Yi will be the next me. ”
"What?" Mo Ye's mind couldn't turn for a while.
Ruan Luo said slowly: "Favors outweigh debts, Yan Yu helped him today, and he may have to serve the Yan family all the time after that." If this is the case, your Fifth Aunt Xie marrying him can be regarded as being able to sit back and enjoy wealth. ”
Mo Ye glanced downstairs into the hall. I saw that on the two tables on the small high platform, there were already servants of the Yan family who had put an abacus on each other. Seeing this scene, Mo Ye vaguely understood. said softly: "What you said about service, do you mean entering the Yan family's computing group?" ”
Ruan Luo nodded, and explained slowly: "The treatment given by the Yan family to the members of the calculation team is the most generous among all employees, and the 'three salaries a year' is their family's original dream, a woman said that my roommate was a serial murderer, and later I really found a bloody dress!" Read the full text. If you do something for one year, you can get three years of salary. At the current age of the young man of the Yi clan. Entering the Yan family's computing team until he retired at the age of 40 was only one or twenty years of hard work, but he didn't have to worry about his livelihood for the rest of his life. ””
Mo Ye had a look of surprise on her face, it was the first time she had heard of such a thing.
However, the calculation team of the Yan family, which is talked about by people in the business community, is only based in the Xiaoliang Guo Yanjia General Chamber of Commerce, and it is the only one, and no other branches have been established.
In terms of distance, the Yanjia calculation group, which is stationed more than 1,000 miles away from Nanzhao Kyoto, can have some data outflow, and cross the border into Kyoto across such a long distance, and the nature that can be left behind will be weakened a lot. Mo Ye is not involved in business, and it is even more difficult to understand this-
