Chapter 454: Heaven on Earth
In a reception room in Cuizhu Ruan, Liu Xian met Wang Xian, the owner of the Qinglou here.
Because Shan Yong, Li Yuan and others had already heard a lot about this green building, Liu Xian didn't plan to pull too much for Wang Xian.
Liu Xian said directly: "Shopkeeper Wang, this time my son came with sincerity. I hope you will seriously consider it and transfer your Cuizhu Ruan to Zaixia. ”
"Liu Xian's son, it is really Wang who runs this green building, although it cannot be compared with the four famous buildings in Luoyang, but it is good, and there is a satisfactory income every year. You must know that opening a green building in the capital is not something that can be opened casually, and Wang has also experienced a lot to develop this green bamboo ruan to its current scale. So...... Wang really can't think of a reason why he wants to sell and transfer this green building. ”
Wang Xian looked regretful and politely rejected Liu Xian's request.
In fact, for businessmen, especially for people in this ancient era, no matter what kind of business they make, as long as they can still operate, then they generally will not easily transfer the business they have worked hard to run to others.
What's more, the green building industry in the capital is indeed relatively prosperous, if you have the ability to open a green building, just find some looks even if it is an ordinary lady, it is also a lot of money.
As long as a gray industry like Qinglou Gambling House is developed, then the income is indeed extremely considerable. Wang Xian really has plans to operate this Qinglou as his own property, and he is also ready to pass it on.
However, Wang Xian's ability is indeed very average, and he has a stronger background than Jiaojiao, but he still only manages this Qinglou as average, although he has money to make, but compared with the four Qinglou, it is really far from it. And whether such a gray industry can develop and operate, in fact, the main thing depends on whether its background is strong enough. Once the background is lost, then the business of the Qinglou will definitely be difficult, and I am afraid that there will be nothing in the end.
This Wang Xian didn't see the situation clearly, and he didn't have enough foresight.
In fact, the four major Qinglou, in addition to the draft workshop, which belongs to the official court of the imperial court, the other three, the backstage of the Qinglou, are actually eunuchs, relatives, and ministers. Each of these three forces has its own family.
It can be said that the Qinglou in Luoyang City is actually a small gray court, which is the continuation of the imperial court party.
Seeing that he was unwilling to sell, Liu Xian changed the topic and said: "Shopkeeper Wang, Dongjia Wang, I heard that you have something to do with Lord Yang Ci in the current court, right?" ”
"Oh? The little marquis is really well-informed, and it seems that he has secretly investigated Cuizhu Ruan. Wang Xian raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Xian, then nodded and said, "That's right, it's not a secret, Wang's cheap is Lord Yang's wife and sister." When Wang ran this green building, there were many people who asked Mr. Yang to do things for Wang, so he ...... Part of the income of this Qinglou is Yang's. If the little marquis wants to buy Cuizhu Ruan, even if Wang Xian agrees, Lord Yang may not agree. Therefore, if the little marquis also wants to get involved in the Qinglou industry, it is better to take a look at the second one, maybe, there is really a Qinglou that wants to change hands. ”
"Oh? It is actually equivalent to Lord Yang Ci's industry...... That's a bit of a problem. Liu Xian seemed to be talking to himself, and his expression seemed to be a little disappointed, but after finishing speaking, Liu Xian suddenly said: "Wang Dongjia, this son also heard about it occasionally, it seems that Yang Ci Situ's body has a lamb, you and Lord Yang are brothers-in-law, and the relationship is relatively close, are these rumors true?" Oh, don't mind, my son just thinks it's more convenient to visit Lord Yang Ci when it will be. ”
Liu Xian saw Wang Xian's face change, and he knew a little in his heart, knowing that Yang Ci would die in the near future, these should be some signs, and it was estimated that Yang Ci's body was indeed in trouble.
"Who did the little marquis listen to these rumors? These are unfounded things. Wang Xian looked a little annoyed and a little panicked, trying his best to hide something.
"Lord Yang is really okay? That's for the best. Liu Xian seemed to be a little relieved and said, "Then when it is, let's go and visit Lord Yang Ci." ”
"No, you don't have to." Wang Xian saw that Liu Xian really wanted to visit Yang Ci, so he said impatiently: "If you really want to fight this Cuizhu Ruan's idea, then you don't need to disturb Lord Yang." Even if he agreed, Wang would not agree. ”
"Alas...... Wang Dongjia, there are some things, don't say it so absolutely. Liu Xian sighed and said: "I, Liu Xian, really come to buy it sincerely, and I will not be ruined by Wang Dongjia." In fact, if you transfer Cuizhu Ruan to this son, it is actually equivalent to saving yourself and saving your life. If you have to hold on here, then ...... Hehe. ”
Liu Xian said, smiling.
"Self-help? Save my own life? Heh, little marquis, you're joking. Otherwise, so be it, Wang has other important things to do. ”
Wang Xian didn't plan to talk to Liu Xian anymore, he felt that there was nothing to talk about, especially when Liu Xian was there, and he seemed to be a little threatening. Standing behind him, Sikong Yang Ci, he was not afraid of Liu Xian at all.
"Okay, but the sky is unpredictable, people have good and bad luck, and the world is unpredictable. If the time comes, the Wang Dongjia still wants to sell Cuizhu Ruan, and he can go to the Marquis Wuyong Mansion at any time. ”
Liu Xian pretended to leave, stood up, but continued: "People have no long-term worries, they must have near-term worries. Wang Dongjia, let's assume it, let's say, in case, in case Lord Yang Ci is gone......"
"Shut up! Little Marquis, please be careful! Wang Xian couldn't help but interrupt loudly.
"Let's assume it, actually...... Wang Dongjia, you know better in your heart. This person, birth, old age, sickness and death are indeed the normal state of human beings. No one can avoid such laws of nature. What if this is ...... Wang Dongjia, have you ever thought about your future situation? ”
"Wang's future situation is just Wang's business, and the little marquis doesn't bother. Little Hou Ye, please go slowly, don't send it! ”
"In Luoyang Beijing, if there is no background that can be relied on, then a business like the Qinglou industry will not be able to operate. This Cuizhu Ruan, in fact, is really not very good, but the location here is excellent, I believe, this is not this son will see such a situation, I believe it will not be long, there will definitely be other people to come to the door to buy. However, their acquisition conditions will definitely not be as good as Ben Gongzi. ”
Liu Xian walked to the door, raised his hand with his back to Wang Xian, as if signaling that Wang Xian didn't need to send it, but continued to speak, regardless of whether Wang Xian listened or not.
"If others want to lose the background of the Qinglou and can't operate, it's really very simple. Generally speaking, with a two-pronged approach, it won't be long before this green building will definitely not be able to open. On the one hand, let some ruffians and hooligans come to make trouble, a small trouble a day, and a big trouble in three days. On the other hand, poaching people! Cuizhu Ruan is not a real official building, and the young lady you raise can be redeemed at any time. Think about it, you young lady Cuizhu Ruan originally had an average appearance, and occasionally there were a few pillars with good appearance, but they were ransomed, how much revenue do you think Cui Zhuruan will have? ”
"My son is a serious businessman, so he will only talk about business seriously. But what about others? What kind of means will some people use to look at this place? Wang Dongjia, be careful, in case Lord Yang ...... Oh, don't talk about this, my son welcomes Wang Dongjia to the Marquis Wuyong Mansion at any time to discuss the transfer of Cuizhu Ruan. ”
Liu Xian really left and went back to the Marquis Wuyong's mansion directly.
Buying a place here, Liu Xian really didn't have to be in a hurry, he had already given Wang Xian words, and Liu Xian believed that he would definitely come to him.
Wang Xian has been running the Qinglou in Luoyang for so long, and he must know better what is at stake. Sooner or later, he will understand that if he still wants to hold Cui Zhuruan at that time, he may really be killing himself.
Once he loses Yang Ci's backer, what does he Wang Xian have in Luoyang?
Wang Xian naturally knows Yang Ci's physical condition, this person, when he gets old, it's really hard to say, he may be bedridden if he is blown by a gust of wind.
After listening to Liu Xian's words, Wang Xian was indeed a little flustered. Liu Xian left with his front foot, and he went out from the back door with his back foot and rushed to Yang Ci's mansion.
His wife is also there, and at this time, Yang Ci is indeed on the occasion of your stay.
As for what Wang Xian said to Yang Ci, it doesn't matter anymore.
Liu Xian returned to the house, Princess Wannian followed, and after she arrived at the Marquis Wuyong's mansion, she found that she liked it here.
The Marquis of Wuyong's Mansion is indeed extremely exquisitely built, every flower and grass here, every building seems to have been carved with ingenuity, and in terms of some details, it seems that it is no worse than the palace.
What Princess Wannian likes the most is that the atmosphere in the Marquis Wuyong's Mansion is very good.
The people in this place all seem to have a feeling of overflowing feelings, without so many rules in the palace, some of the servants will laugh at each other. Anyway, it is to have more life than she is in the palace.
Of course, Liu Xian let her meet Ma Guiren, who stayed in the Marquis of Wuyong's Mansion and was unwilling to return to her Plain Palace, and introduced Huang Wudie and Yi Ji to let her know. Naturally, there are also Diao Chan in the dance practice room by the artificial lake.
Princess Wannian saw that Yi Ji and Huang Wudie were both beauties who were not inferior to Lai Ying'er, especially when she happened to see Huang Wudie practicing martial arts in the back garden, and Yi Ji playing the piano.
Watching Huang Dance and Butterfly practice dance is as if she is dancing with butterflies, and she really has never heard the piano music, Princess Wannian really said that she was as surprised as she was.
Later, I saw Diao Chan, and saw this stunning little beauty who was younger than herself, but when she saw it, she was ashamed of herself. Princess Wannian is really not confident. You know, she is actually a very beautiful woman.
At this time, Princess Wannian also understood why Liu Xian didn't even want to watch Ying'er's dance. Because he has a singer beauty in his family who is no worse than Lai Ying'er.
Especially after eating some of the meals in the Marquis Wuyong's mansion that she had never seen before. Princess Wannian felt that this Marquis Wuyong's Mansion was simply a paradise on earth.
Look, there are exquisite buildings, beautiful environments that are pleasing to the eye, happy moods, all kinds of beautiful women, big and small, singing and dancing to enjoy, all kinds of different foods, and good wines......
Princess Wannian has decided, and she will come to the Marquis Wuyong's Mansion to play if she has nothing to do in the future.
However, before dark, she reluctantly left and returned to the palace.
In fact, in the palace now, in addition to Princess Wannian, there is also a woman who is obsessed with the Marquis of Wuyong's mansion.
This woman is naturally the queen.
She came to the Marquis Wuyong's mansion on the day she was established, and at that time it was to win over Ma Guiren and Liu Xian, hoping to get the help of Ma Guiren and Liu Xian to help her push her son to the crown prince. But this matter, Liu Xian has made it very clear that at this time, she should not make too many moves, but should keep her head in obscurity and wait for the opportunity.
After she returned to the palace, she did calm down. But as soon as this person calmed down, he didn't have the sense of urgency of being prepared for danger in times of peace. But unnaturally cranky thinking about something else.
In fact, even if she didn't think about it, she recalled that day in the Marquis Wuyong Mansion, she thought of Liu Xian, a young man who obviously looked old, and he didn't seem to be a weak-crowned teenager at all.
Then she thought of the food in Marquis Wuyong's mansion, and she found that she really missed it.
It's a pity that she didn't dare to sneak out of the palace like Princess Wannian.
The queen is not useless in the palace.
During the years when she was favored by the emperor, she really did a lot of evil things. For example, whoever dares to compete with her for favor, she will definitely take revenge with her favor, and suppress other concubines so that they don't dare to raise their heads.
If there is a woman in the palace who can still get along well with her, it is Princess Wannian.
In the eyes of Empress He, Princess Wannian is a woman and poses no threat to her son's position as the crown prince. Another reason is that in the years when the emperor favored her, he also favored this eldest princess very much. And Princess Wannian's biological mother died early, and she had no intersection with the queen. After she became the queen, she was naturally equivalent to the mother of the princess of Wannian.
At that time, there were still few princesses in Wannian, a little girl, whoever was good to her, then she would naturally be good to whom. At that time, Princess Wannian did feel her mother's love from Queen He.
In this way, although Queen He and Princess Wannian are not biological, the actual relationship is relatively harmonious.
The queen no longer worries about setting up her own son, so she thinks of Princess Wannian, who has a decent relationship with her, and remembers that she hasn't cared about Princess Wannian for a while. As this girl grows up year by year, her dependence on her mother is not so strong.
She sent someone to summon Princess Wannian to speak, but she reported that Princess Wannian was not there and secretly left the palace.
When the queen heard this, did she still have it? A daughter's family, actually left the palace?
She went directly to Princess Wannian's palace and waited until after dark before Princess Wannian returned to the palace.
