Chapter 77: The Eve of the Storm (2)
Ye Qinyu saw her suddenly hang her head lonely, and she was also a little sad in her heart, but she still wanted to persuade her a few words, so as not to make it difficult for her to return, "I don't know if Xueqian has learned badly, but since he is Xue Huijian's person, he is destined to be a stranger to us, if you are not deep enough, quickly pull yourself out." Later...... I asked your young master to help you find a good family and let you be the housewife. What do you think of Yi Ruhai? Chunyue said that he is also a business family on the outlying islands, and he has always been the right-hand man of Master Su since joining Xihexing, he is young and promising, and he is very attentive to you, okay? ”
Xinyan's face flushed, and he hurriedly turned his face away. When she was on the island, Yi Ruhai had some feelings for her, and Xuecheng, as Yi Ruhai's good brother, also helped him several times intentionally or unintentionally, but he was bypassed by Xinyan. To be honest, she still has some shadows of Xueqian in her heart, and in this unclear situation, she doesn't want to think about lifelong events, after all, rash decisions are unfair to anyone.
"Xinyan doesn't want to be a housewife, Xinyan just wants to serve the young master and Mrs. for the rest of his life, and he hasn't thought about the other words!"
"What a stupid thing! I'm afraid that in the future, we won't be able to stop you if you want to marry. ”
"Madame is laughing again! You can go to sleep quickly, if there is anything wrong, you can't explain it to the young master. ”
In the blink of an eye, it was three days later, Xuecheng and Du Juan packed up, took Xi Hexing's remaining family and left Luo'an, and traveled all the way north to Xingdong.
Ye Cizhun and the others looked at the remaining two or three Cheng family members and were worried, relying on this money alone, they couldn't buy a boat, and they would definitely not be able to do shipping business anymore. But Luo'an is almost saturated, what can he do to make a fortune quickly.
Ye Qinyu suddenly had an idea, "What is the most profitable thing to do in Luo'an, we definitely can't think of a reason here, it's better to go to a place where merchants gather and listen to what they do, don't you know." ”
Su Yuming twisted her eyebrows, "Merchants gathered? You mean......"
"Drunk, Spring, Garden."
When Ye Qinyu came out with these three words, everyone suddenly realized, but Ye Cizhun had a gloomy face and was silent.
"Uncle Jung, what are you thinking?"
"Are you going to find Lian Jinsan again?!" Ye Cizhun thought of Su Yuming's sacrifice and begging Lian Jinsan to take them out of the city, and his heart was very unhappy.
"Definitely not", Ye Qinyu pouted, "We went in disguise, quietly drinking tea in a corner and listening to people chatting, who cares about us?" Even Jinsan, the kind of big manager, didn't pay attention to the guests in the corner at all. ”
Su Yuming held Ye Cizhun's hand with some apprehension, she knew that when he was still in the ninth year of junior high school, he was full of hostility towards Lian Jinsan, "Cizhun, if you don't like it, I won't go, I'll wait for you to come back at home." ”
Ye Qinyu immediately vetoed this plan, "No, we are all gone, there is no one at home, what if there is danger?" ”
"Then why don't you go with Ci Zhun and I will be at home with Xinyan?"
"I don't think there's any need to go", Ye Cizhun suddenly spoke up and stopped everyone's argument, "What kind of business to do, listen to other people's leftovers at most, you can only pick up other people's leftovers to do, and it's okay to support your family, but you can't do the second Xihexing, let alone compete with Dingtaihe." Only by identifying what you want to do can you make a lot of money. Ye Cizhun appeased Su Yuming and raised his eyebrows and said.
"Then tell me, what are we doing with this little money?"
"Eight things to go out, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and wine, don't dare to hold anything else, I'm still good at tea and wine, and these two things can make quick money and make a lot of money if they see the right time. When we have some savings, we will continue to do our old business, silk, shipping and import and export trade, and within a year, we will be able to reproduce the prototype of Xihexing. ”
Ye Cizhun's business sense has always been accurate, and everyone must pay attention to it, so Yi Ruhai and Xinyan came forward to reorganize the team left by Xi Hexing, and established Taixiangxing, a commercial bank, which is mainly engaged in tea and wine and goods from the north and south, and soon went on track. Although Luo'an is prosperous, but all walks of life are saturated, although the island is sluggish, but the time and place are favorable, the market is promising, so although Taixiangxing is quite profitable, but it is not as large as Duan Xi and Xing in the outlying islands at the same time.
The tea of Daye country, Haidong Province, Jiangnan Province and Jingnan Province are prosperous, the tea produced by these three provinces accounts for more than eighty percent of the inland and export markets, and the similarity of the products on the market is extremely high, and the quality of the products can only win, so the source of goods is extremely important. The supply of high-quality and low-cost or top-notch goods was monopolized by the old Xingzun early on, and newcomers like Taixiangxing could not get a piece of the pie if they did not have a strong backing.
Tai Xiangxing couldn't raise the flag of Xue Chunyue, so the only way to break through was to find another way.
Ye Cizhun and Su Yuming fell in love with Guannan Province.
The history of winemaking in Guannan Province is more than 1,000 years, but due to the remoteness of the place and the difficulty of Shu Road, many of the good wines are unknown in the boudoir, and Ye Cizhun and Su Yuming have heard of it during their seclusion by the Yujiang River. In addition, Guannan Road is shrouded in clouds and mist all the year round, and there must be a lot of precious tea on the high mountains, and it is also suffering from the difficulties of Shu Road, which is not known to outsiders. If all the good things in Guannan Province can be excavated, then Taixiangxing will be able to stand out and gain a firm foothold in Luo'an. Therefore, it is imperative for Ye Cizhun and Su Yuming to leave Luo'an and go to Guannan.
There is another important reason for the two to leave. Although the people who chased and killed Ye Cizhun had searched at the bottom of the cliff, after all, they had not seen their corpses with their own eyes, and there were still doubts about their life and death, so the deployment and search around Luo'an would not be relaxed, and the two of them should not appear in Luo'an in the short term. Only when the killer turns Loan over and can't find any trace of them will he believe that they have sunk to the bottom of the pool.
This time in Shu, Xue Chunyue also sent a helper to help the two, that is, Miss Wei Jia, who grew up in Guannan Province since she was a child and knows Guannan Province well, Wei Zhiyu.
Not long after Xue Chunyue's letter arrived, Wei Zhiyu appeared in Luo'an, and after some conversation, everyone finally knew the reason why Wei Zhiyu left Changxing. It turned out that King Jing intended to match his sons Liu Yi and Wei Zhiyu, and explicitly hinted that he had said more than once to Emperor Hongyuan, but Emperor Hongyuan couldn't, so he had to ask Wei Yingshi for an accurate word in private.
Wei Yingshi delayed several times, but the news still reached Wei Zhiyu's ears. After she knew about this, she was about to leave Beijing without saying a word, but Wei Yingshi couldn't stop her. Instead of letting her go to a dangerous and unknown place, it was better to go to Xue Chunyue, who was quite familiar, so she persuaded her to go to Xingdong Dao to make Xue Chunyue live first, and the marriage would be discussed after he had dealt with the relationship with King Jing's Mansion.
The excavation of the copper mine in Xingdong Road is still a secret, Xue Chunyue naturally can't let her come, it just so happened that Ye Cizhun was about to enter Shu, so he revealed to him the news that Ye Cizhun was still alive, hoping that she could help Ye Cizhun and Su Yuming.
Wei Zhiyu was very happy when he saw Ye Cizhun, after all, he was still alive, which was more important than anything else. After eating a meal, Wei Zhiyu pestered Ye Qinyu and talked about a lot of recent things in Changxing, including the strange things that Wei Shaoqing encountered in Dali Temple, so it was quite harmonious at the dinner table, and Su Yuming was not unable to melt in except for occasional distractions.
Seeing Wei Zhiyu's natural and free appearance, Ye Cizhun knew that she had let go of her old feelings, so she felt a lot more comfortable during the banquet, and drank wine and tea with relief.
Soon after dinner, Ye Qinyu wanted to ask Xinyan to arrange for Wei Zhiyu to stay, but Wei Zhiyu asked Su Yuming to help her take care of it. Although Su Yuming was a little surprised, she still nodded and took her to the guest room to check in.
Soon after entering the door, Wei Zhiyu pulled Su Yuming to sit down and confessed to her.
Ye Cizhun, she has already let go, her feelings for him may have gradually disappeared when she thought he was buried in Yujiang. If it weren't for that, Xue Chunyue wouldn't have let her go to Luo'an.
Looking at the lively and hearty Wei Zhiyu, Su Yuming was inexplicably touched. In fact, she could already vaguely feel the openness of Ye and Wei during the banquet, after all, if she hadn't put it down, Wei Zhiyu would not have behaved so naturally. Thinking about it, she should be glad, glad that Wei Zhiyu just had a change when his love for Ye Ci was at the beginning and ended this relationship, if it developed to the point where the love was deeply rooted, then she really didn't know how to deal with herself.
"Actually, this time in Shu, Lord Xue also explained me an important matter."
Su Yuming vaguely felt that it was related to Ye Cizhun, and asked a little nervously, "What's the matter?" Is it dangerous? ”
"I believe you also know that Lord Ye's assassination in Shuzhou is not simple. When Lord Xue entered Shu to search for and rescue Lord Ye, he laid out some investigation eyeliner, and all kinds of signs indicated that the person who Lord Ye was going to enter the city to meet should be from Nanzhao. ”
Su Yuming was slightly surprised, "Nanzhao Kingdom? Is it a vassal state in the southwest of the state? ”
Wei Zhiyu nodded, "Lord Ye entered Shu this time, and he also wanted to find a way to connect with them again. Those people should have something very important to trade with the imperial court, so they are cautious and will not reveal their whereabouts easily. ”
"You tell me these things because ......"
"I'm worried that you will misunderstand Lord Ye and me! After all, I had ...... Lord Ye before. But it's really in the past, now, I just want to escape from Changxing, the farther away the better, if I can still cooperate with Lord Xue and Lord Ye to do a little thing in the opportunity to escape the world, it would be great. ”
"It's not a trivial matter for you to help Zhun and Chunyue. First, we have to help Tai Xiangxing find a source of goods, and second, it is not easy to find out the reasons behind the assassination. ”
"When I enter Guannan Road, there is no confusion that I Wei Zhiyu is not clear, don't worry."
Hearing that she was so confident, Su Yuming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and told her a few more words before leaving the room.
On the way back to his room, Su Yuming's heart suddenly lifted, it turned out that there was another reason for this trip to Guannan. She thought that she would be able to live with Ye Cizhun from now on, but it turned out to be just a dream......
Just thinking about it, she had already arrived at the room, and when she entered the door, she was hugged by Ye Cizhun and startled her.
Ye Cizhun frowned slightly, "What do you think, so distracted?" ”
Su Yuming broke free from his embrace and sat down at the table, "No, nothing ......"
As soon as he heard her speak in a knot, he knew that something was wrong, Ye Cizhun hugged her behind his back, leaned over and said in her ear, "Do you want to say it?" You're welcome if you don't say it......"
