Runzhou City, Tianfu Building.

This is one of the five major restaurants in Runzhou City, the building is four floors high, carved beams and painted buildings, the internal layout is exquisite, very magnificent, and the word Fu can be seen hanging high everywhere.

In the night, this Tianfu Lou is still brightly lit, business is booming, all kinds of meals and guest catering are overwhelmed, relying on cooking and tea art, because the Lu family behind Tianfu Lou is also one of the nine families in Jiangzuo, with tea sales as the largest main business.

The first and second floors are more noisy and lively, and the third floor is less noisy, becoming quiet and elegant.

At this time, in a private room on the fourth floor, Ding Yuexi, Ding Yin, father and son of the Ding family invited Bai Shouyi, the second room of the Bai family, to eat and negotiate.

Ding Yuexi felt that the dinner was almost over, and went straight to the point: "The dog originally liked Bai Susu very much, but the old man Bai did not agree to the Ding family's courtship, and Bai Susu also chose a Su Gongzi who was entangled, and a good family affair was not negotiated, and the marriage between the Ding and Bai families was yellow, and my Ding family could only salute first and then soldier, and speed up the pace of merger." ”

Bai Shouyi was half drunk and asked, "What kind of annexation!" ”

Ding Yuexi said earnestly: "Brother Bai Jiaxian, now the northern porcelain organ kilns are being produced one after another, going to sea for trade, and for trade in the Western Regions, they are not as good as before, my Tang official kilns are not prosperous, they are all private kilns of the Hao family in production, the scale is not enough, it is difficult to save the development and growth of Tang porcelain, therefore, my Ding family intends to produce celadon and white porcelain at the same time, to achieve interoperability and assistance, reduce costs, and expand the scale!" ”

"And then, what does this have to do with my Bai family?" Bai Shouyi was a little stunned, and he didn't understand it yet.

Ding Yuexi smiled and said: "Naturally, it has a lot to do with it, but we can't hide it, the secret recipe of the Bai family, we already have it, and the fine white porcelain has also been tested many times, just this afternoon, the production of high-quality fine white porcelain, not inferior to the white porcelain of the Bai family, in this way, your Bai family's porcelain business will soon be intercepted and cut in half." ”

Bai Shouyi was originally a little drunk, but after hearing the words, he woke up in fright, and he was just about to get up, but he was stopped by Ding Yuexi and said with a smile: "Brother Shouyi, it's not too late to listen to my brother's words before leaving!" ”

"This ......" Bai Shouyi hesitated, nodded and sat down again.

Ding Yuexi said with a smug expression: "The celadon and white porcelain of the Ding family will soon cut off the Bai family's market and sales, and with the assistance of Lord Thorn Shi's connections, your Bai family's porcelain foreign trade and tribute to the royal family will not work, you will retreat and leave now, it will not help your Bai family, why don't you cooperate with me?" ”

Bai Shouyi was puzzled: "How to cooperate with the law?" ”

Ding Yuexi smiled mysteriously and said, "We will help you regain the power of the family and help you sit on the position of the head of the family!" ”

Bai Shouyi was stunned, and he was a little moved, and asked, "What can you do?" ”

"As long as Old Man Bai is sober and alive, he will appoint Bai Susu to take power, you, the Erlang of the Bai family, have no chance, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your son!"

"You're going to let me murder my father?" Bai Shouyi's face changed.

Ding Yuexi chuckled and said: "It's not that you want to murder, just let you give your father a medicine, so that he will induce a stroke, and when the time comes, the person is still alive, but it is difficult to speak, you take the opportunity to win over the elders of the Bai family to seize power, and it will be easy to sit in the position of the head of the family." ”

Bai Shouyi's face changed, and his introversion was also struggling, although he knew that he was seeking to hide the tiger's skin by doing so, but he could regain the position of the head of the family that was originally his turn, and he was also very excited.

Ding Yuexi saw that he didn't turn his face on the spot, which means that there is a drama and he can continue to lobby.

In fact, before the banquet, the Ding family had already studied Bai Shouyi, the second room of the Bai family's descendants, who ate, drank, prostituted and gambled when he was young, did not do his job, had no ability, and was typically ambitious and talented, and his ambition was not small. After Bai Shouren, the big house of the Bai family, was disabled, Bai Shouyi wanted to control the Bai family's business, but was directly denied by the old man Bai, who did not let him manage any major affairs of the family, and launched Bai Susu to take care of the family business.

As a result, Bai Shouyi has a grudge against the old man and Bai Suju, and has been holding a pocket money of one hundred taels per month, and he has long been resentful in his heart.

Today is an opportunity, Ding Yuexi coerced and lured, and Bai Shouyi was ready to move in his heart.

Ding Yuexi continued to induce and said: "You don't need to kill your father, just let him have a stroke, stop giving orders, and just point fingers at family affairs." If you feel guilty, after getting the position of the head of the family, you can also pay more filial piety in front of the bed, as for the porcelain business of the Bai family, it will definitely plummet, there is no way, but in addition to porcelain, your Bai family also has so many side businesses, handed over to you, and still belongs to a second-rate family in Jiangzuo, which is enough for you to take care of. ”

"But porcelain has always been the main business of my Bai family!" Bai Shouyi also has some reluctance.

Ding Yuexi smiled coldly and said: "I have said, your Bai family's secret recipe, my Ding family has already controlled it, and soon my Ding family's white porcelain will cut off most of your Bai family's sales shops and channels, and the blue and white porcelain will be mixed and sold at the same time, and the price will only be lower than yours, and the road of the Bai family's porcelain making is about to be broken." You took the opportunity to make the family mess at this time, Ling Zun had a stroke, and you stood up to seize the position of the head of the family, which is justified and easy to do, otherwise, you will not have a chance! ”

Bai Shouyi thought about it for a while, it is indeed this truth, after the secret recipe of the Bai family's porcelain was leaked, it was doomed, there was no room for resistance, it was better to think about how to continue to operate on the sideline, even if the porcelain sales were reduced, it was only one-third of the original, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and it fell from the nine families of Jiangzuo, at least it was still a second-rate family, and it was also a merchant family, which was not comparable to the ordinary rich squires.

"Let me think about it!" Ding Yin was a little upset, making a trade-off between interests and family power and family morality.

"Don't hesitate, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, Ling Zun is already seventy, life is seventy years old, life is enough, the glory and wealth that should be enjoyed are also enjoyed, and now the children and grandchildren are full, and the family property is tens of millions, and it is time to be content. It's not going to kill him, it's just for him to lie down and rest. Ding Yuexi smiled lightly, and then stuffed a powder packet into Bai Shouyi's hand.

Ding Yin, who was at the same table, also said with a smug smile: "Nephew, congratulations to Uncle Bai on taking the position of the head of the family, when the time comes, if the Bai family still wants to be friendly with my Ding family, the younger generation can still come to the door to ask for marriage, and marry Su Su back to the Ding family, and in the future, the ceramics of the Bai family can also be produced in small quantities, and the impact on the Bai family will not be too great, and our two clans will be a family in the future." ”

Ding Yuexi nodded and said: "Yin Er is right, if it becomes a family, then the Bai family's ceramic market will also give some gaps to the Bai family, so that the Bai family's industry, in fact, does not have a big impact, you only need to finish this vote, as the so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, what are you hesitating about, no poison and no husband!" ”

After Bai Shouyi heard this, his palms clenched, and his eyes gradually became cold, and he was already moved by what the Ding family father and son said.
