In the inner living room of the Song family, Song Renjie was drinking tea leisurely on the surface, but there were countless thoughts rolling there in his heart, and it was the first time in these years that he was so entangled.

There are no secrets in Nanjing City, let alone ordinary things, even the major events of the Southern Sixth Department will reach Song Renjie's ears in less than an hour, but even the usual major events may not make him like this

"Why hasn't Qiyu come back yet?"

After a while, I saw Song Qiyu walking in panting.

"Dad, it's been found out, Zhiyuan did offend Zhao Enhui, and this time he can be offended to the family!"

Then Song Qiyu came out with the news he had just heard. The more he spoke, the tighter Song Renjie's brows wrinkled.

“…… This is not a bitter case, this matter will naturally be over, but it is Zhao Gongzi, Zhiyuan is plain and hateful, and now Zhao Lang Zhongzheng is asking him around, Dad, do you want to talk to Zhiyuan and let him go to other places to avoid the limelight? ”

Song Renjie glared at him angrily.

"Qiyu, you can hide from this matter, who is he Zhao Enhui? On the surface, he seems to be generous, but in fact he is a guy with a small belly, even if he hides in other places, how can he stop there! ”

"Dad, what should I do? Could it be that he just watched him attack Zhiyuan? ”

Song Qiyu hurriedly said when he heard this.

"Dad, otherwise, Dad will go to Zhao Lang Zhongzheng all the way, make peace with them, and let Zhiyuan go to apologize in person, so ......"

"That's going to be on our heads!"

Song Renjie's face changed.

"Qiyu, don't forget, seventy percent of the more than 300,000 taels of cotton cloth purchased by the Ministry of War every year are through our hands! It is his Zhao Enhui's hand! ”

The Song family and Zhao Enhui have a direct interest relationship, of course Song Qiyu is very clear about this, and it is precisely because of this that Song Renjie understands that person.

"Who is he Zhao Enhui? A person who turns his face and doesn't recognize people, and doesn't think about it at all, such a person is usually not in a hurry, and he takes the initiative to provoke him? Is it possible to repeat the mistakes of the past? ”

"But, Dad, we can't just ignore it, if Zhao Enhui attacks Zhiyuan, if we don't turn a blind eye, won't it chill his heart?"

His son's rhetorical question made Song Renjie brush his goatee and groan.

"Chilled?"

With a sneer, a fine light flashed in Song Renjie's eyes.

"Qiyu, do you know how much soap is sold for in the capital now? Last month, it was still 30 Wen, and this month it suddenly dropped to 20 Wen, which is the same price as Nanjing, why did the Tang family suddenly drop the price? Is it really trying to squeeze us out at any cost? ”

"Dad, at this price, we're going to lose a lot!"

Song Qiyu's heart couldn't help but tighten, in order to provoke the contradiction between Tang Ziqi and Shi Yiwen, his father instructed Chen Fangshi to transport the soap to Beijing and Tianjin and other places for sale, but the freight of the soap to that place was too high, that is, with the current high price, he barely maintained a loss.

"It's a big loss, no, it's a few thousand taels of silver a month, but how did the Tang family lower the price? We are only 5,000 boxes, but her soap factory in the capital is tens of thousands of boxes a month, if they can afford it. At the beginning, he would not have taken the initiative to withdraw from Jiangnan, and agreed with Zhiyuan to take the river as the boundary. ”

"Dad, what do you mean...... She has the same soap recipe as us? ”

Song Qiyu's brows tightened, and his face became a little ugly.

"It's not with us, it's Zhiyuan! That's his recipe, what does it have to do with us? ”

When it comes to Zhiyuan, Song Renjie sighed.

"Actually, in the final analysis, he still didn't regard himself as a member of the Song family, otherwise what would ......?"

Father's sigh made Song Qiyu say.

"Dad, didn't you say in the past that talents like Zhiyuan will not be used by my Song family, but will also be recruited by others?"

"If you are talented, you can go all over the world, there is not only one Song family in Nanjing, the Tang family, as long as he is willing, the Tang family will not turn him away...... Besides......"

Glancing at his son, Song Renjie picked up the teacup and said.

"Tang Ziqi is not married yet!"

Belch!

Suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking at his father, Song Qiyu seemed to understand why his father was deliberately separating the two of them. Here's why! One of them is unmarried, the other is unmarried, and the man has no family ties. Isn't it just right!

"Daddy......"

Without waiting for his son to speak, Song Renjie sneered.

"Do so much for your father, not for you, but for the Song family, the Tang family has been in business for generations, and her generation is thin, and there are no brothers, the whole family refers to her as a woman, the woman is the head of the family, even if she is shrewd, what can she do? It stands to reason that in a few years, the Tang family will automatically fade out of the business world, but as soon as Zhiyuan comes out......"

Pursing his lips, Song Renjie's brows furrowed.

"Zhiyuan is alone, has no relatives, and has no foundation, but he is good at business. If you were Tang Ziqi, would you choose him? The foundation of the Tang family coupled with Zhiyuan's talent, in less than ten years, this Nanjing may only know the Tang Dynasty, but not the Song Dynasty......"

As a parent, Song Renjie has a more far-reaching view of some issues than his son, otherwise he would not have tried to promote the marriage of the two families back then, but then everyone knows his thoughts, and it is naturally a bamboo basket for nothing.

And now, the proximity of Shi Yiwen to the Tang family has made him feel an unprecedented crisis. This kind of crisis is not just because Shi Yiwen wants to get rid of the Song family's behavior, but because he and Tang Ziqi are the same age, and they are both unmarried. Once the two of them get married, it will be a problem for the Song family.

Thinking about it, Song Renjie stood up, shook his head and sighed lightly.

"Hey, there's no smart person in the world!"

Dad's sigh made Song Qiyu frown.

"Dad, you mean that Zhiyuan has already thought about the Tang family?"

"Qiyu, we think Zhiyuan is our own person, but what can we give him? Let's just say that those who went out of the Song family, even if they have never sold themselves to the Song family, don't forget, in the eyes of outsiders, they are also half of the Song family's domestic slaves, how can Zhiyuan, who is so arrogant, think of himself as a half-slave? But if he can marry Tang Ziqi, the Tang family will naturally become his bag! How can you not know the wisdom of Zhiyuan? ”

Song Qiyu's face changed sharply and he thought about it.

"Dad, what should we do this time? Is it true that you can't sit idly by? ”

After sighing, Song Renjie walked back and forth, sometimes standing thoughtfully, his face gloomy. After a long time, he said.

"Ask, of course you have to ask, but it depends on how you ask, and it's ......"

After a moment of silence, he sneered again.

"Maybe, this is also an opportunity!"
