The Zhong Mansion family is warm and calm, but the Liu Mansion is different.

In the study of Liu's mansion, a father and son sat face to face and drank tea, the tea mist curled, and the fresh smell of tea wafted in the study, but it could not let them suppress the boredom in their hearts.

Liu Yuan frowned and said, "Father, what do you mean by Zhong Da marrying a poor boy?" Is it to deal with the palace people? ”

Master Liu pondered for a while, frowned and said, "Is it because of the 500,000 taels of congratulatory gifts?" It's unlikely, she doesn't care much about it. Yuan'er, why didn't the Queen Mother stop it? ”

Liu Yuan was displeased when he heard his father mention the 500,000 taels, and he planned to calculate the Zhong family, but he lost 500,000 taels, and the jokes were gone.

And he was also used by Zhong Xuanlan, and he was depressed when he thought about it!

With some unhappiness on his face, he said: "The princess inquired about the news that the queen mother was going to stop it, but the news that she and the poor boy were going to marry was already flying all over the sky, and it was inconvenient to make another move." ”

Master Liu put down the teacup, squinted his eyes, and said, "This matter is a foregone conclusion, and we can't do it anymore." However, we can do something to the poor boy and leave her in trouble. ”

Liu Yuan twisted his eyebrows, thought for a while, and said, "Dad, what if she doesn't care?" ”

Liu Da master's eyes lit up and said, "If you don't try, how do you know if you care?" We must win the president of the Chamber of Commerce next year, and we must not lose to that girl again. By the way, the Chu family is willing to join forces with us, and there are some things for them to do. ”

Liu Yuan nodded, showing a fox-like smile, Zhong Xuanlan took it.

At this time, Chu Yun, the leader of their alliance, was talking about business with people......

In the Yunwu Teahouse, Chu Yun was talking about business with Boss Li, a cloth merchant from Suzhou, and after the two talked for a little while, Boss Li began to loosen.

Chu Yun thought that he could negotiate with a little more effort, but he never wanted to be intervened by Zhong Xuanlan.

Zhong Xuanlan, who was standing next to the screen, said with a smile: "Boss Li, Chu Da is fortunate to be in charge." I didn't expect to meet us here, so could you please go in and have a cup of tea. ”

Boss Li said, "Are you?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan introduced himself: "Boss Li, my surname is Zhong. ”

Boss Li knew who this person was, and said with a kind smile: "It turned out to be Zhong Da's master, congratulations to Zhong Da's family for finding a good son-in-law, come, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you." Zhong Xuanlan sat down.

Chu Yun was very annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't, this situation was broken by Zhong Xuanlan.

"Boss Li, I was busy with marriage a few days ago, I didn't know that you came to Kyoto City, I heard the steward say today, I wanted to make an appointment with you tomorrow, but I didn't expect us to be so fateful, and we met today."

Boss Li had a guess in his heart, and he didn't know what to do with him, and asked, "What is the big boss looking for me?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan said directly: "I heard that Master Li transported three boatloads of fabrics into Kyoto a few days ago, and I want to talk to Boss Li about cooperation." ”

Boss Li came to Kyoto to inquire, and the Zhong family had the best development in tea, jade and ceramics, followed by food, jewelry, rouge and gouache, and finally clothing. But the Chu family is better than the Zhong family in terms of clothing, but the price is too low.

Thinking of this, Boss Li had a calculating plan, and asked the Chu family to raise the price through the competition between the two families, and if he was satisfied, he would cooperate with the Chu family, and if he was not satisfied, he would be replaced.

He wanted to look at the price offered by the Zhong family first, and said, "Oh? Does Zhong Da have to look at the goods first? ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded.

Boss Li ordered someone to get the fabric.

Chu Yun squinted his eyes, tsk, it was difficult to calculate the little fox opposite, but it would be nice if the price could be lower.

The two foxes looked at each other and decided to cooperate first and then divide the soup.

After Zhong Xuanlan looked at the fabric, the two cooperated, and you and I talked to Boss Li one sentence.

On the other side, Zhong Xuanli and Wang Xuannian were sitting in a carriage and heading towards the lively commercial street, South Street.

Wang Xuannian looked out through the window screen, the street was very quiet, there was a big mansion on one side of the street, there were two big lions squatting at the door of the house, and there were a few people in gorgeous clothes sitting in front of the door, but the main door was not opened, and there were people entering and exiting the small door.

Zhong Xuanli introduced: "This is Prime Minister Sun Cheng's house. It is the home of the current queen. ”

Wang Xuannian nodded.

The carriage walked forward for a long time, and Wang Xuannian saw two squatting lions in front of the first mansion, and the soldiers standing on both sides of it were different from other mansions.

"This is Wucheng Houfu, our Eastern Yuan Dynasty borders Mobei and Hu in the north, Nanliang in the south, and Xifan in the west. And Wucheng waited to guard the border city adjacent to the Xifan Kingdom. ”

Wang Xuannian nodded.

About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage came to South Street, the bustling street market, the crowd of Fusheng, Wang Xuannian's heart was full of novelty, his eyes were excited, and he wanted to go down immediately.

Zhong Xuan said, "Stop." ”

The coachman stopped the carriage on the side of the road, and the two stepped out of the carriage.

Zhong Xuanli took Wang Xuan to visit Kyoto City for a long time......

Wang Xuannian looked at the wide variety of stalls and shops, which was both novel and dazzling.

This is the second time he has come to Kyoto City, the last time he came, he and his father came to see the leg injury, and the family spent five or six days from Lujia Village to Kyoto City, and left without looking much at Kyoto City.

But fortunately, with the help of the Zhong family, they were able to take the carriage home, and because of the cloth, rice and noodles and the silver coins sandwiched inside, my father could continue to treat his leg injury, I wonder how my father is now?

Zhong Xuanli saw that he suddenly became uninterested, and asked, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wang Xuannian saw Zhong Xuanli's concerned eyes, shook his head, stretched out his right index finger and pointed in one direction and said, "Let's go over there." ”

Zhong Xuanli glanced at him, nodded without finding anything, and agreed.

Wang Xuannian found that Zhong Xuanli was like a child, and took him to play crazy, lose circles, watch acrobatics, eat sugar gourds, sugar people, buy mud color people, buy juju......

At this time, in front of the barbecue stall, Zhong Xuanli and Wang Xuannian were waiting for the barbecue skewers.

The people around kept looking at them back and forth, but there was no way, there were two people standing in brocade clothes, one handsome and chic, and the other delicate and lovely. The combination of these two tall and one short is too attractive to the eye.

Wang Xuannian was a little uncomfortable with these people's gaze, and unconsciously leaned towards Zhong Xuan.

Zhong Xuanli noticed Wang Xuannian's discomfort, reached out and touched his head, Wang Xuannian was stunned, looked up, and found that just like Zhong Xuanlan touched his head, he was a little uncomfortable and wanted to avoid it, but he thought that this person was her younger brother, so he let him go.

"What's wrong with you, brother-in-law?" Zhong Xuanli didn't respond to him when he saw the people, and said: "Brother-in-law, don't be afraid, these people can see it if they want to, you have to adapt, our family is destined to live under the eyes of others." ”

Wang Xuannian frowned slightly and nodded.

"You," Zhong Xuanli hadn't finished his words.

Before he could say a word, the peddler interjected: "Childe, the barbecue is ready." ”

Zhong Xuanli took two skewers of barbecue and handed one to Wang Xuannian before saying, "Are you okay?" ”

Wang Xuannian shook his head.

"Let's go, let's go to the food restaurant for dinner."

Wang Xuannian hesitated: "Dad let us go home for dinner." ”

Zhong Xuanli pursed his lips and said, "Without me, he would eat more deliciously." ”

Zhong Xuanli dragged people to the food building......

Here, Boss Li finally realized what others told him, the streets of Kyoto City are full of "foxes", and if you are not careful, you will fall into the pit.

"Master Zhong, this batch of fabrics is high-quality silk, if it is at your price, I might as well sell it in Suzhou."

"Boss Li, the shipping fee from Suzhou to Kyoto City is about 1,000 taels, and this fabric, although it is a high-quality silk, it is not as good as Nanliang in Kyoto City." Zhong Xuanlan's price was one thousand taels of silver higher than that of Chu Da's master.

Chu Da said: "Yes, now the ladies and ladies in Kyoto City like the silk of Nanliang, which is affordable and comfortable to wear. In Kyoto City, my Chu family cloth village is the most famous, can Boss Li consider my Chu family, your Li family is famous, and the business is more long-term, isn't it? ”

"Boss Li, sometimes, it's a good thing that Buzhuang is not famous, and its reputation has to be passed. You can inquire about the credibility of my Zhong family, and then decide who you want to work with, right? It's noon now, and today I'm going to do the east, and I invite the two of you to go to the noodle restaurant to eat, and I hope the two of you will be sluggish. ”

Boss Li knew that he couldn't talk about the results today, so he agreed to eat.

Chu Da was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he didn't want Zhong Xuanlan to take the lead, so he agreed.

As soon as the three of them walked into the Taste Building, they met Zhong Xuanli and Wang Xuannian, who were being led upstairs.

Zhong Xuanli saw Zhong Xuanlan as if he was seeing a savior, and shouted excitedly: "Sister, you are here." ”

Zhong Xuanlan frowned slightly and nodded.
