Chengfu Hall

Several people sat down according to the host and guest, and Yahuan served tea.

After Yahuan left, Master Cheng said, "What is the matter with everyone coming to Handi?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said: "First, to complete the entrustment of the Wang Da family, send Yang'er to your mansion, the second is to send a letter to the Wang Da family, and the third is to talk about a business with Master Cheng." ”

After speaking, Zhong Xuanlan took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Master Cheng.

Master Cheng took the letter, glanced at the words on the envelope, and found that it was indeed the handwriting of the king's master.

He didn't open the letter immediately, but said: "As far as the old man knows, the Zhong family didn't do the grain business more than ten years ago, and now they want to start it again?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan said half-truthfully: "Isn't this the menacing Mobei soldiers, the big boss of my family is still stable when he sees the world, and he wants to save a sum of food to leave a way back for the Zhong family." ”

The Zhong family is only storing food and does not plan to do business, is this really the case? Cheng Da thought to himself.

However, he was never at ease, compared with the Zhong family, the family was nothing at all, if the Zhong family hadn't given up the grain business that day, the family would not have been as prosperous as it is today.

Zhong Xuanlan picked up the teacup and drank tea, covered it with the teacup, looked at Master Cheng, saw his changing expression, and promised: "The Zhong family will definitely not compete with the Cheng family." ”

Master Cheng was surprised in his heart, he could see through him in such a short period of effort, this person's eyes were really vicious, no wonder all the merchants admired the Zhong family, this Zhong family is really talented!

"I wonder if the steward can represent the meaning of Zhong Da's master?"

Zhong Xuanlan said sincerely: "Yes." ”

Master Cheng hesitated again and again, and invited: "Let's go to the study to discuss." ”

"Good!" Zhong Xuanlan agreed.

Master Cheng instructed Ah Cai: "You take Yang'er and Wang Gongzi to the backyard to see Mrs., and let the second young master accompany the guests by the way." ”

"Yes."

Zhong Xuanlan looked at Wang Xuannian and said in a low voice: "This Cheng family background is not clear, we must hand Yang'er into the hands of Mrs. Cheng." ”

Wang Xuannian nodded, indicating that he knew.

Master Cheng and Zhong Xuanlan went to the study, Wang Xuannian hugged Yang'er, and went to the backyard under the leadership of Ah Cai.

Wang Xiao wanted to follow Zhong Xuanlan, but was stopped by Zhong Xuanlan and asked him to follow Wang Xuannian.

Backyard hall.

Mrs. Cheng, Second Young Master Cheng Yulin was already waiting in the backyard hall.

After Wang Xuannian and the others visited Mrs. Cheng, Yang'er immediately stuck to Mrs. Cheng's side.

Wang Xuannian was very happy to see this.

Last night, he heard Zhong Xuanlan and Yang'er's conversation, and they said that if Yang'er didn't like Chengfu, then take him for a few more days.

Because Wang Shaodang's family will be able to rush back from Kyoto City in a few days.

Now, Yang'er and Mrs. Cheng get along happily, and now they can get rid of Yang'er and leave him in Chengfu.

Mrs. Cheng said with a grateful face: "Thank you Gongzi for taking care of my grandson these days." ”

Wang Xuannian said with a smile: "Entrusted by others, loyal to people." Yang'er is very well-behaved and obedient, and she likes it very much. ”

Yang'er pouted, his brother lied, he obviously disliked himself the most!

Wang Xuannian noticed that Yang'er was glaring at him and smiled kindly at him.

This surprised Yang'er, but his brother had never given him a good look.

Seeing that Wang Xuannian didn't seem to be lying, Mrs. Cheng's face was more kind, and the sincerity in her eyes was even worse.

At this time, Cheng Yulin said: "Today, what happened to the prince at the gate of the mansion, I apologize to the eldest brother for the eldest brother, and hope that the son Haihan." ”

Wang Xuannian said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's because we didn't make it clear with Young Master Cheng that led to the misunderstanding." ”

The ensuing small talk was harmonious.

And on the other side, in the study.

Master Cheng recognized Zhong Xuanlan and said affirmatively: "You are the master of Zhong?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded at Master Cheng opposite, acknowledging his identity.

Master Cheng said: "I don't know what the big boss Zhong is doing here?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan didn't respond and asked, "Do you plan to enter the Imperial City?" ”

Where did she hear the wind? However, he is only a businessman, and he does not intend to ask for that share of the dragon's work. Master Cheng thought to himself.

"In the old man's lifetime, he has no intention of entering the imperial city when he gets married."

Zhong Xuanlan saw that Master Cheng's expression was sincere, and it didn't seem like he was lying. After pondering for a while, he said: "As far as I know, the Wang family and the Wanjia family are already friends in the world. I believe that Wang Da is in charge, so I believe in Cheng Lao once. ”

Master Cheng's heart froze, he knew that the next thing was very important.

"The old man will keep it a secret."

Zhong Xuanlan nodded, she knew that even if the negotiation could not be achieved, Master Cheng would not say it.

"Master Cheng, I need to provide 500,000 catties of food per month for my family."

When Master Cheng heard this, he was shocked, this amount is not low, where is she going to send it?

After thinking about it for a long time, Master Cheng couldn't understand why the Zhong family wanted so much food?

Now that Prince Lao Gong doesn't lead soldiers, where will she send it if she buys it?

"Can Master Zhong reveal where this batch of grain is sent?"

Zhong Xuanlan hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "I think Master Cheng should have a guess in his heart, but don't get involved too much in the Cheng family, I guarantee that they are used to protect the country." ”

Although her maternal grandfather's family withdrew from the court, those subordinates who had followed her grandfather for many years, her grandfather could not ignore it.

First, she didn't want her grandfather to buy grain, which made that person feel guilty.

Second, the one in the palace allocated silver, which was only enough to pay the military salary, and there was no extra money to buy food.

Third, now the household department has asked people to send moldy grain to the border gates, and if there is a war, I am afraid that there will be chaos.

Therefore, she had to pay for a batch and wait for the evidence...... She didn't want to suffer this loss.

Master Cheng stared at Zhong Xuanlan for a long time, although he didn't know much about the current court, he still knew some things, the treasury was empty, the Mobei royal court was competing for the throne, and the new emperor would definitely have a big war.

His family sells grain, and when the time comes, he doesn't know how much he will lose?

It seems that it is necessary to dispose of some food and collect the family business.

Zhong Xuanlan saw that Master Cheng was distracted, she didn't bother, picked up the teacup and drank tea, and slowly waited for Master Cheng's response.

After a long time, Master Cheng came back to his senses, "Master Zhong, can you really guarantee that the Cheng family will not be implicated?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan sneered in his heart, he wanted to cooperate with the Liu family and get benefits, but also wanted her to help protect her, how could there be such a good thing in the world?

"Isn't your mansion still going to entertain Liu Gongzi?

Master Cheng, can you also ask the Liu family to guarantee to protect the Cheng family?

I'm afraid that when the time comes, the Liu family will not abandon you, and the Wang family will be the first to abandon you.

After all, the Wang family will never be on the side of power. ”

Master Cheng glanced at Zhong Xuanlan, this person has never been underestimated, whether it was her three years ago or her today.

Where is his family going?

"The Wang family also has food, why doesn't the Zhong family buy it from the Wang family?"

Zhong Xuanlan said: "The Wang family has been sold to the border soldiers the day before yesterday. ”

Master Cheng was stunned, why didn't he have any news at all, was this the Wang family deliberately hiding it from him?

Then, Zhong Xuanlan reminded again: "You can take a look at the letter of the king master." ”
