Chapter 137 Hands for Rain
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't squeeze me.................."
"Xiǎo sound a little."
"What's the matter, I can't hear ......... over there", the thin and fragmented voice. The boy and xiǎo Shao nv hid by the pillars of the eaves of the porch on the third floor and looked down at the afternoon time.
Located in Dongji, this street is a relatively quiet block in Jiangning City, suitable for leisure, but there are not many green buildings that prevail here, teahouses and restaurants are lined up, and the shops below are not wide, and there are often xiǎo sellers who sell all kinds of special snacks, and there are many singing or storytellers gathering in the taverns and teahouses. At present, this fragrant tea shop is the largest and most famous tea house in the vicinity, and the rooftops and pedestrian scenery of many nearby tea houses can be seen on the third floor, but the third floor is a private room, and the price is also expensive.
"Ahhh............hhhh He actually poured tea for someone, he must not be saying anything good......", "That guy's face became so strange, red and white at once......"
"Smiling Tiger, he must be pretending to be stupid again, that person from the Wu family is going to be angry to death......
"Sister, you are often angry with the teacher............ Well, I won't say it, I was wrong......"
xiǎo Shao NV glared at the male hacker hard.
Diagonally across the street, at the teahouse called Jing Zhulin, two men appeared to be sitting by the window on the second floor drinking tea and chatting, and soon after, one of the men left the other and began to look down and write and draw. The two sisters and brothers in the restaurant here began to discuss whether to run over to say hello.
"Maybe I'm writing something interesting...... " said the xiǎo boy, holding his chin by the railing.
Before he could speak, a voice sounded from behind: "Hmm? Who is that? ”
The two children hurriedly turned around, but saw that many people had appeared behind them in silence. At this time, leaning over them was a middle-aged man about forty years old, with a Chinese face, a beard nearly three inches long, and a bit of richness in his majesty, with a smile on his face. When he asked like this, the xiǎo shao nv named Zhou Pei blinked his eyes and seemed to not want to tell the truth, and the boy named Zhou Junwu pursed his lips abruptly and began to shake his head quickly. The middle-aged man was slightly stunned with a smile.
"Oh, I can't say ......"
"No, we don't know." Jun Wu grinned. , The elder sister next to her purred luàn's gaze suddenly stopped. The middle-aged man nodded "oh", and glanced at the second floor of the teahouse over there: "However, for my father, this person is young, and he wants to get married." Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, leaned down, and said in a tone that only the other party could hear: "Speaking of which, Pei'er has two years to go, and she is about to reach the age of Jilu, so many talented people are chatting with you and you don't want to go in, could it be that you are here with Junwu...... Only "How is it possible!" Zhou Pei suddenly opened. Then he was stunned, and then turned his face to the side in annoyance and patted his forehead. The middle-aged man laughed and looked at some of the people accompanying him: "In this way, I really don't know who that person is in Lu Dao, do you know Lu Dao?" ”
"Back to the prince's words, this person is the son-in-law of Su Mansion, Ning Yi and Ning Liheng." An old man in his fifties beside him smiled and replied in a low voice.
"Oh? The first talent? The middle-aged man known as the prince was also stunned, and then looked over there, but in this way, the figure with the bandage on his hand looked too young anyway Of course, it was also a feeling that only arose when compared with the name of this first talent, he looked at the pair of xiǎo er nv next to him, and there was some clarity in his eyes, and some doubts.
"I've long heard that this person has an amazing poetic talent, but I haven't seen it, and everyone present is also a well-educated person, I don't know if there is anyone who knows him......" He wanted to say that if this was the case, he could introduce the king of xiǎo, but when he caught a glimpse of the attitude of a pair of nv, he changed his mind again, "I don't know...... Is this man rich? ”
The middle-aged man in front of him is indeed the father of Zhou Pei and Zhou Junwu, and Zhou Yong, the king of Kang, who is also one of the several royal idlers living in Jiangning. In fact, it's not good at poetry.,I like to hang out and listen to dramas on weekdays.,Things like walking jī fighting dogs are also skilled.,There's nothing to do to go hunting.,Occasionally you can shè one or two rabbits.。 ,
Of course, things like poetry have always been a pastime for the whole people to appreciate both the elegant and the vulgar, and he will be more or less elegant every once in a while. With this identity, when you want to be elegant, there will always be some elegance coming over, and the few people who followed him this time are basically Jiang Ning's talents, he asked, and one of them smiled and came out: "Ning Yi is indeed quite talented." This is a good thing, if there are a few gentlemen of the Su family here, most of them will be startled, because the person who came out in front of him turned out to be Liu Qingdi, who had some festivals earlier, but after saying this, he also smiled and said: "It's just recently, uh...... Oh, this matter has nothing to do with poetry, but don't say it, Ning Yi's poetry has always been admired. ”
"Oh? Is this Ning Yi going to do something? Qingdi, it's okay to listen to it, let's listen to it together......,...... Zhou Yong looked at him with a smile.
Liu Qingdi's face changed, and he hesitated for a while before he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then ......... In fact, this is nothing new, but His Royal Highness King Kang may not have heard of it yet, and the matter has to start from two months ago, when there was an accident in the Su family of the cloth merchant......"
In the past two months, the battle that happened within the scope of Jiangning Buxing really has a good story, first the Su family was assassinated, and it was exposed that it was framed by some opponents, and then the Su family became stronger and stronger in the stubborn situation, creating a momentum to win the imperial business, but it was still overturned at the most critical moment. Although it is not true that stealing other people's formulas is not moral, due to the twists and turns of this matter, at this time, everyone is amazed by the open and secret battles in all aspects. However, it wasn't until Liu Qingqiu finished speaking that everyone realized that the role played by Ning Yi in it really didn't make much difference.
The first genius may do a good job in poetry, but if other aspects are mediocre, it makes people feel that this person is only good at rhetoric, and it is inevitably a little interesting. Look at the young man over there, this is also true, even if this kind of person is a poet, it is also because of his good talent, so he is worried about giving new words, and his experience is not enough after all. And in the teahouse over there, I saw that Ning Yi's figure had already collected things to settle the bill, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Oh, that's a pity.........
Zhou Yong sighed, and he didn't know whether he was talking about the fight between the Su and Wu families when he had no chance to meet Ning Yi or the fight, but in the middle of these words, he looked at the pair of disapproving children next to him, and his eyes were a little complicated, so that in the gap between the entourage greeting everyone, he lowered his head and pondered.
Liu Qingdi looked at the direction in which Ning Yi had disappeared, and a trace of pride and hatred flashed in his eyes.
On the side, the pair of sisters and brothers pursed their lips and exchanged glances, a little cunning.
……………………
When the coachman lifted the curtain to tell him that he had arrived home, Uclon lifted the curtain. As it approached evening, the sunlight began to slant and look less harsh, pouring a golden sè light from the other end of the Wu family's mansion. The gorgeous mansion mén was particularly solemn, and whenever he saw this scene, he "couldn't help but think of the family"... A sense of majesty or honor, I remember that when he had to go back and ask his mother, "Why is our yard very big?" Mother would say that because our Wu family is the No. 1 cloth merchant in Jiangning.
The Wu family is the No. 1 cloth merchant in Jiangning......
In fact, especially in the recent period, when he has been busy for more than a month, this feeling in his heart will become extremely clear, remembering the scene from Xiǎo to the time when the eldest parents and the people next to him said those words "taught him these cognitions."
Jiang Ning, the first cloth merchant.
This is the position that has taken many people's efforts to reach, from xiǎo to big, what he thinks in his heart is how to turn this perception into not only the number one cloth merchant in Jiangning. From Xiǎo, he was confident that he would be able to do this, and even in the previous period, he felt that he had seen a sure success.
All this, the light, suddenly went dark in the afternoon.
By this time, he was cold.
I hardly know what I was thinking during my time in the carriage, and I can hardly remember how I got downstairs and got into the carriage, my steps and body were a little ungraspable, and I was fluttering.
None of this will exist...", he thought, walking towards where the family might be.
He didn't even know how to open his mouth and tell his father or others about these things, but there were indeed things that he couldn't help but say......,........................
When Wu Qihao returned home, he had already begun to hold the lamp, and the atmosphere at home was a little wrong, a family member told him to let him go to the main hall, and when he passed by the [Guang] field, he saw that the fifth uncle who had not come out for a long time was being helped by two maids to come here. The lights of the Wu family are a little brighter.
He knew that something big had finally happened. In the warehouse in the past few days, Canjin Jin continued to fade, and he knew that Lu Dao might develop into this situation one day, but when it came, it still made his heart sink suddenly, and for a while, it was too late to say hello to the slow fifth uncle, and ran over to the main hall.
Father, brother, eldest uncle Wu Chengjian, third uncle Wu Chengyuan, and even two very close cousins in the family have arrived, and these two expressions also have a considerable share of participation and dividends in the family, but none of the shopkeepers who participated in important decisions, such as Li Minzhi, came. At this time, the people who came may not have eaten yet, everyone has a simple meal by their side, but no one is in the mood to eat. Wu Qihao glanced at it and walked forward.
The matter was even more serious than he imagined, because if it was just a matter of the cloth fading, everyone should have been mentally prepared a few days ago. But at this time, his father's face was obviously a little wrong, because the people were not there, he was just sitting on a chair next to him at this time, although he was still subconsciously maintaining majesty and composure on the surface, but his eyes were a little wrong, Wu Qihao walked closer to him before he reacted, only to hear his father is subconsciously sneering.
“………… Zhu Mén laughed and played the crown ......, and Prime Minister Bai knew that he was still pressing his sword ........., and he ......... "That sneer is not a hostile laugh, it sounds just a little tired." He looked at the second son in front of him and shook his head.
"Everyone was deceived by him alone............ People didn't take us seriously at all...... oh, Qihao......"
"Dad, how to ping"
"Have you eaten?"
"Tell someone to bring food and eat it first. Something happened, ask your big brother......"
Wu Qihao saw his father close his eyes, róu róu forehead, and when he opened it again, his gaze had stabilized, erasing the trance of Fang Cai for a moment, and turned back to the restraint and ferocity of the head of the cloth line and the first head of the cloth merchant in Jiangning, only walked for a moment, looked at the corner of the room, and still exhaled a long breath.
That's not a good sign.
Wu Qihao turned around and walked towards his brother who was sitting next to the mén mouth, at this moment, the figure was a little quiet, but his eyes were a little cold.
Fortunately, my brother was calm at this time, and he was thinking about countermeasures.
"Brother."
"Sit." Wu Qilong glanced at him and patted the seat next to him. His panic period has passed, and he can calm down at this time. When his younger brother sat down, he opened his mouth lightly: "The cloth in the warehouse is still faded, I was outside this afternoon, I met Ning Liheng, and then ........." He paused, and saw the elderly fifth uncle come in from the mouth of Mén, and stood up with everyone, "Then we said something, and I learned the whole thing"..."
The light in the day had completely faded, the lights were getting brighter and the night was getting deeper, and in the Wu family's mansion, the sound of the wind shook a little bit of firelight, and a person who occupied an important position in the Wu family began to gather in the main hall.
Just like the brothers who are in charge of the family with Wu Chenghou and are qualified to participate in important things, the cousins and cousins who really participated in the business of this family, or the younger generation who have really been reused and can already enter the house, or the predecessors of the Wu family who once competed with Su Yu in the shopping mall. The Wu family, the No. 1 cloth merchant in Jiangning, these participants who are calling for wind and rain in the mall or have been calling for wind and rain, have been alarmed by the crisis at this time, and they must gather together and work together to discuss and deal with it.
More than two months ago, even when fighting for the imperial merchants, the Wu family did not gather even a quarter of the people here, especially the veteran figures of the Wu family, such as the fifth uncle and the eighth uncle, who used to be the ones who could make the Jiangning weaving world shake three times with a stomp of their feet, and at this time they had already retired to enjoy their old age, but at this time, they had to come out again to deal with this crisis.
More than two months ago, the people of the Wu family easily competed for the things they wanted, and the scholar appeared in a child's play, but did something that made everyone laugh, just like the understatement chatting, talking, and pouring tea in the teahouse today, no one found anything, but for more than two months, the hand that poured the tea finally turned over at random in the process of this understatement, turned into a killing machine, and pressed down on these many people!! ~!
