Out of the house, Guo Dan did not go directly to Yaxing, but called Kou Yi to walk around the vicinity of Yaxing.

"Uncle, what are you looking at?"

Kou Yi saw that Guo Dan was suddenly standing in front of a tea shop next to Yaxing, and he didn't enter the door, but just stood in front of the door and watched, and couldn't help but wonder, is this little tea shop hiding a mystery?

Guo Dan closed his eyes and said with a smile: "I didn't see anything, I just wanted to buy everything around here." ”

Kou Yi was immediately taken aback and said, "Both... Buy them all? What do you do when you buy it? ”

Guo Dan wrote lightly: "Because I think our tooth line is still a little too small, and it is very uncomfortable for my wife to sit in it." ”

This is really a powerful favorite wife.

Kou Yi was stunned for a while, and said, "Uncle is really thoughtful, but... But this is not a house that we can buy if we want to. ”

Guo Dan looked at him suspiciously.

Kou Yi said: "To buy and sell any house in this horse market street, you must go through the permission of the government, which is generally difficult to pass, and even if it is passed, this procedure is very troublesome." ”

This ancient common people didn't like to deal with the government, so there was a saying that "you can't enter the official family".

"Really?" Guo Dan frowned slightly, when he couldn't solve the problem with money, he would become very depressed.

Kou Yi glanced at Guo Dan, and saw that he really didn't seem to be joking, and carefully persuaded him: "Uncle, the most taboo thing for us to do business is to show our wealth, our current tooth shop is already considered big in the capital, and if we want to expand it again, I am afraid that it will attract jealousy." ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "If you can't keep your money in broad daylight, then what's the difference between showing and not showing?" If we want to go to the next level, then we must make it possible to live a happy life even if the scale of our dental business is larger than all the official teeth combined, and if we can't do this, we might as well hold on to this little money and live a happy life. ”

Kou Yi was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and looked at Guo Dan in shock.

My uncle has really changed.

I used to be cowardly and incompetent, but now I don't want to die.

The scale of a private tooth is greater than all the official teeth, isn't it just a desire to die?

But in Guo Dan's opinion, if he can't even do this, then why did he come out? As soon as you raise your hand slightly, the result will be at the top, and it is better to be an idle son-in-law.

But Kou Yi couldn't understand this.

"Brother Guo Xian."

Suddenly, I heard an excited shout.

Guo Dan turned his head and saw Liu Chengbian walking quickly this way.

Kou Yi said in a low voice: "Uncle, this person is not good. ”

"The fish in the pond, good or bad, are just meat on the chopping board."

Guo Dan threw out this sentence lightly, then stepped forward quickly, and bowed: "Brother Liu, don't come unharmed!" ”

Liu Chengbian smiled heartily and said, "Brother Xian, you have deceived my brother miserably." ”

Guo Dan asked blankly, "What did Brother Liu say about this?" ”

Liu Chengbian looked at him with such a stunned expression, he was very annoyed in his heart, and said with a smile: "So far, does the virtuous brother still plan to continue pretending?" Now I'm afraid that the whole capital knows that the champion red is actually from the hands of the virtuous brother. ”

Guo Dan didn't make a sound.

Liu Chengbian sighed, and said with a little regret: "It's a pity that I knew it relatively late, if I had known that Brother Xian had this means, I really wanted to compete with Brother Xian openly, whether I won or lost." ”

The implication is nothing more than sarcasm for you, Guo Dan is victory.

Now, of course, he also knows that Guo Dan is the master behind the scenes, and while he is shocked, he is very angry in his heart, especially when he thinks that he has been played by Guo Dan one after another, but he feels that Guo Dan is invincible, you are sneakily hiding behind, I am completely defenseless against you, so I fell for your trick.

Guo Dan smiled slightly: "Actually, Brother Liu and I have won and lost a few years ago. ”

Kou Yi almost didn't laugh out loud, this uncle is really direct enough.

Liu Chengbian was also stunned, couldn't help frowning, and asked, "I don't know where Brother Xian started with this?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Of course, it started when I joined the Kou family, I remember that Old Man Liu also wanted to marry the Kou family, and almost everyone at that time was optimistic about the marriage of the two of you, after all, you are also a good match, and I was just a child from Nanjing, but in the end, I married a beauty, and the reason was that I pretended to be stupid." ”

I see.

Kou Yi nodded secretly, if Guo Dan showed his ability at that time, then Kou Shouxin really didn't dare to recruit Guo Dan as a son-in-law, an important criterion for Kou Shouxin to choose a son-in-law at that time was that he couldn't be better than their father and daughter, otherwise, he would really be making a wedding dress for others.

Guo Dan continued: "As for the things that Brother Liu refers to, in fact, I really don't care if I win or lose, in the past three years, how many deals have your Liu family robbed of the Kou family, oh, I am still an accomplice in a few times, but I have never taken it to heart, this is because money is too easy for me to come by, causing me to look at it very lightly. I prefer others to call me a 'love saint' than a champion red. ”

Liu Chengbian clenched his fists when he heard this, Guo Dan's words undoubtedly told him that in terms of trading, he didn't take him seriously at all, if you want to lie to me, I will let you lie, so what, even before I die, I can turn the tide, what you think is winning or losing is meaningless in my eyes.

"Brother Xian's words made Brother Wei suddenly open."

Liu Chengbian changed his words and said: "But for the elder brother, I still hope to have an upright contest with the virtuous brother." ”

Guo Dan shook his head with a wry smile and said: "This is impossible, because Brother Liu, what you think you think is winning or losing, in my opinion, is meaningless, I only care about whether Mrs. she is happy or not." ”

When he said this, Kou Yi couldn't help but shout "Love Saint".

"But I believe there will be a chance."

Liu Chengbian arched his hand and said: "I will leave for my brother first." ”

It's really humiliating.

After Liu Chengbian left, Kou Yi suddenly laughed happily: "I didn't expect this Liu Chengbian to have today, uncle, you are really amazing." ”

For a long time, it was my uncle who was teased by them, and now that it was finally my uncle's turn to pretend to be forced, he naturally felt very happy, and said: "But uncle, this mountain does not allow two tigers, I think their Liu family will definitely not let us go, and we can't always be beaten passively." ”

Guo smiled indifferently and said: "If their Liu family is a person with their tail between their legs in the future, it will be fine, otherwise, they will be the first stepping stone for me to expand my tooth line." ”

Kou Yi was slightly surprised, what this uncle said was true, and what he said was false.

At this time, a carriage stopped beside Guo Dan, and Guo Dan said to Kou Yi: "I have something to go out." ”

With that, he got into the carriage and drove away.

.....．

"Virtuous nephew, isn't there a big deal?"

When Chen Fangyuan saw Guo Dan coming, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Guo Dan wondered, "Uncle Chen, how do you know?" ”

That's true. Chen Fangyuan immediately couldn't help laughing: "Needless to say, the virtuous nephew is so busy, if there is no big deal, how can he come to me." ”

"Uh... Uncle Chen, in fact, I have always thought that I have a deep friendship with Uncle Chen, and money is secondary. Guo Dan smiled awkwardly.

"Nephew, are you telling the truth?"

Chen Fangyuan choked up.

"Of course... Of course it's true. ”

"Virtuous nephew, ----!" Chen Fangyuan suddenly burst into tears.

Guo Dan saw that the fat old man seemed to be about to pounce, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Chen, let's talk about the deal first." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, talk about business, I don't know what kind of big deal it is?" Chen Fangyuan's expression changed, and he looked at Guo Dan very expectantly, after all, he was a businessman, if he only talked about friendship, he would not be so close to Guo Dan.

Guo smiled lightly: "I need to get the detailed information of all the wealthy merchants in the capital in a short time." ”

"All the big rich merchants?"

Chen Fangyuan took a breath of cold air.

Guo Dan nodded and said, "And it's the kind of person who won't blink if you throw two or three thousand taels." ”

Chen Fangyuan was surprised: "Virtuous nephew, what kind of deal is this?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Super big deal. ”

......．

East Pavilion.

"Judging from the news from the inner court, His Majesty seems to have made up his mind to canonize Concubine Zheng as the imperial concubine, and even the auspicious day has been chosen."

An old man who was over the age of sixtieth birthday said with a solemn face.

The old man's name was Yu Youding, and he was one of the cabinet ministers.

And next to him sat a tall and thin old man in his fifties, this person is also a cabinet minister, Wang Jiaping, he said: "Now the eldest son of the emperor has reached the age of five, and his mother Wang Concubine Gong has not yet been crowned, however, Zheng Guifei gave birth to three sons only a few days, if Zheng Guifei is canonized as the imperial concubine first, living above Concubine Gong, this ethics is not smooth, and people's hearts are uneasy!" We, as Cabinet Ministers, must not allow His Majesty to make such unethical decisions. ”

With that, he looked at Shen Shixing, who was sitting directly above.

Shen Shixing was silent for a while, and sighed: "I understand the worries of the two, but ..... But you must not forget that recently those officials and imperial historians have been impeaching our cabinet for arbitrariness, if it weren't for the fact that a few of us have always acted above board, and we can't say anything to others, I'm afraid that we won't be able to sit here today, and Your Majesty has only canonized the imperial concubine in this matter, and has not mentioned anything about the establishment of the prince, if we are too radical, I am afraid that they will impeach again. ”

Wang Jiaping shook his head and said: "This should be impossible, those officials and imperial historians are also ready to swear to ask His Majesty to retract their orders, although there has been a lot of friction between our cabinet and them recently, but this move is related to the country, I think we should temporarily put aside our prejudices against each other." ”

He smiled and said: "Uncle Zhong, I think you misunderstood what Brother Shen meant, Brother Shen didn't mean to ignore this matter, Uncle Zhong should not have forgotten, a few years ago, it was Brother Shen who took the lead in asking His Majesty to canonize the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince as soon as possible, although it was unsuccessful, but it can also be seen that Brother Shen is a pure heart!" Brother Shen just hopes that we don't be too radical, I also agree, those officials and imperial historians will definitely play against this matter, why don't we take a look at it first, if it doesn't work, then make plans. ”

This person's name is Xu Guo, and he is also one of the cabinet ministers.

The cabinet minister sitting next to him was named Wang Xijue, and he also nodded: "I am also in favor of waiting and seeing what happens." ”

Wang Jiaping and Yu Youding glanced at each other, and then nodded slightly, but their expressions were slightly helpless.

Shen Shixing, Xu Guo, and Wang Xijue are considered fellow villagers, and their relationship is extremely close, so the current cabinet is basically controlled by Shen Shixing.

And he now hates those officials and imperial histories, and he will never stand on the same front with them.

It turned out that before this, the cabinet headed by Shen Shixing had already launched a head-on struggle with the Yanguan Imperial History, and the reason was because of the late Zhang Juzheng.

After Zhang Juzheng's death, he immediately suffered from liquidation, and those Yanguan Yushi were the backbone of supporting the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng, because when Zhang Juzheng was alive, it was in power, and the Yanguan Yushi was oppressed very miserably, whoever dared to raise objections, get out immediately, if not, Zhang Juzheng's reform would not have succeeded.

Since you can't fight you in your lifetime, then you can only wait for your family and your corpse to take revenge after you die.

And after Shen Shixing became the first assistant, he initially hoped to make peace with these officials, and he didn't want to make such a stiff scene, and he didn't have Zhang Juzheng's means, so he couldn't suppress them, so he agreed to the request of the officials and the imperial historians, and opened up the way of speech, so you can talk about it as much as you want.

Where do you know that these Yanguan Yushi is turning their faces and not recognizing people, after opening up the way of speech, they first made trouble for Shen Shixing, because Shen Shixing was Zhang Juzheng's side before, and naturally he had to liquidate him, which was to cause Shen Shixing to die, fortunately, Shen Shixing was not a good class, and he turned defeat into victory several times, but this also made him completely give up making peace with Yanguan Yushi, and the two sides are now fighting to the death in the court.

In this case, how could Shen Shixing support these officials, if it weren't for the fact that this matter was really sensitive, he wouldn't dare to risk the world's condemnation, otherwise, he would definitely support Wanli.

It can be seen that Wanli chose to canonize Zheng Guifei as the imperial concubine at this time, not because he was carried away by love.

That's the perfect time.

PS: I'm really scared to death today, I received a call early in the morning, my sister's daughter was lost, and I was out all day to help find it, but fortunately, I found it. Hurried home at night, while eating a boxed lunch, while coding words, alas... It's really terrible not to save the manuscript. Why is there no deposit? It's just to fight for the length of the damn day.
