Chapter 396: The Old Man Reunites
Zhao Mingsheng walked into Wufangzhai, the business inside was very busy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Wufangzhai is the most popular store in the entire capital. He looked at the people inside with smiles on their faces, and his attitude was very good, but it was very different from the owner here.
The little guy came over and said, "Is there anything you need me to do for you?" Seeing that the person who came was either rich or noble, and even very noble, he cheered up the spirit of hospitality.
Zhao Mingsheng said: "I want to see the big shopkeeper here." The little guy seemed to be accustomed to seeing this kind of person who wanted to see the boss directly when he came in, and he replied stylized with the clichΓ© taught to them by the shopkeeper: "The boss has some things that are inconvenient to meet guests recently, please forgive me." You can sit in the shop first. β
Hongmeng saw that this person was so perfunctory, and just wanted to go up to teach a lesson but was stopped by Zhao Mingsheng, he said: "Xiao Qian thinks it's a misunderstanding, I'm not one of those crazy men and women outside, you go back directly to report to your boss, and say that there is a person who has posted four times to find it." β
Xiao Qi looked at Hongmeng, who was not kind and very burly, and was a little afraid that he would do anything out of the ordinary in the next moment, so he had to go into the back and report to Zhang Jinsheng in embarrassment. Zhang Jinsheng's eyelids jumped, with a hint of distress in surprise, he said, "What? The one himself came?! β
He wiped the cold sweat from his face, picked up the pendulum, and hurriedly ran to the account room to discuss the matter with Yunyan. The little guys looked at the shopkeeper Zhang, who was usually calm and relaxed, and now he looked like a demon, and they were all a little puzzled.
In the account room, Yunyan was crackling and settling the accounts, looking very bad. It's not that the accounts are wrong, it's not that the profits are not enough, it's just that when she settles the accounts, the atmosphere around her body becomes very anxious. The people below didn't dare to get angry, and they all did things carefully.
Zhang Jinsheng gasped and said, "The big boss, the one above is here." β
Yunyan put down the ledger with a "snap", and glanced at her sharply: "Zhang Jinsheng, who are you talking about!" The dignified shopkeeper can't say anything clearly! β
Zhang Jinsheng glanced at the people around him, wiped the sweat on his forehead anxiously, lowered his voice and said, "That's the one!" Got four posts! β
Yunyan was stunned for a moment, and the brush in his hand fell straight on the table, splashing a piece of ink. A thousand countermeasures flashed through her mind, but none of them could get her out of the way this time.
This time she was too anxious, she wanted to let Wufangzhai open as soon as possible, but she was afraid that the opening effect would not be good and she went into battle herself, which was obviously the face of Zhao Mingsheng, Zhao Mingsheng didn't find an excuse to kill her. Combining medicinal herbs and food, two aspects that she was very good at, she only had great expectations for Wufangzhai at that time, and completely left Zhao Mingsheng's matter behind. Misstep, blunder.
She pressed her eyebrows and asked tiredly, "Where are the people now?" Zhang Jinsheng said: "The guests are in the VIP reception room - Fantine. β
Yunyan got up and straightened his clothes and said, "Let's go, everyone who comes is a distinguished guest, how can there be a reason not to entertain." β
The crystal door curtain rattled, and a man with a face like a crown of jade, unparalleled in the world, shook his fan and entered Fantine. Zhao Mingsheng's eyes lit up, and he felt that the moment this man in white came in, the whole room became bright.
Yunyan laughed at himself: "No, I just stumbled over trivial matters, so I made the distinguished guest wait for a long time and punished myself with a cup." She lifted the corner of her robe and sat down, poured herself a glass, and drank it generously.
Zhao Mingsheng lowered his eyes and looked at the wine in the cup, the color was pure and it was a good wine, and said slowly; "Yun Gongzi has rejected the post of the main hall four times, but it is not something that can be paid off with a glass of wine."
Yun Yan's hands clenched tightly in her sleeves, and she smiled and said: "Yun Mou is really busy with Wufangzhai in the past few days, and he thought that he would go to visit His Highness in the next few days, but I never thought that His Highness would be here today, it is really not an honor." She arched her hand, and then said: "It's rare for His Highness to show love, and in the future, Wufangzhai and the Hanging Pot Pharmacy will always be free for you." β
Zhao Mingsheng chuckled, he had no sincerity at all, knowing that he lacked nothing, but he pretended to give in calmly and sincerely repented. He said: "That's it, you Wufangzhai and the Hanging Pot Pharmacy donate a lot of taxes to the treasury every year, and the people of the entire Hu Kingdom love Yun Gongzi so much, if the palace is harsh, it will cause the world to be dissatisfied." He stared at her fiercely like a falcon, and he always felt that these eyes were familiar to him, but he couldn't remember them at all.
Yunyan looked at Zhao Mingsheng, with a familiar voice in her ears, but the goodbye between the two was-for-tat and a knife hidden in her smile, her heart seemed to be cut by a blunt knife, and her heart was slowly dripping blood.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness." She restrained the slight trembling of her hands, raised her glass and drank it down, hiding the fleeting bitter smile on her face.
Zhao Mingsheng instructed Hongmeng: "You can step back for the time being." Hongmeng looked at Yunyan, nodded and retreated.
Yun Yan was a little nervous in his heart, and pretended to be relaxed: "It seems that His Highness is finally planning to get into the main topic." β
Zhao Mingsheng saw that she was outspoken, so he didn't even bother to pretend to have the only soft smile on his face, and said coldly: "Yun Gongzi is such a smart person, he must have guessed who I am." Without further ado, I have a deal to do with you. β
cloud flue; "Your Highness, please speak."
Zhao Mingsheng said: "Your medicinal diet can pay tribute to the royal family all year round, but correspondingly, the hanging pot pharmacy must be hung in the name of the royal family." β
Yun Yan's eyes darkened, thinking about the power. Zhao Mingsheng had the idea of the Hanging Pot Pharmacy, which was nothing more than that the Hanging Pot Pharmacy was now so big that it affected the business of the Royal Pharmacy. Zhao Mingsheng's move is not only to control the Hanging Pot Pharmacy, but also to indirectly affect the business fortune of Wufangzhai, if she rejects Zhao Mingsheng, she will definitely not be able to stop the tilt of imperial power with her own strength. But she is unwilling, the Hanging Pot Pharmacy and Wufangzhai are her painstaking works, and she must not let others spoil them, especially Zhao Mingsheng.
Zhao Mingsheng looked at her and shook her fan silently, the grade is quite light, and his mind is very good at hiding, whether this Yun Gongzi agrees or not, he has already won this battle, because he has no choice at all.
He smiled happily: "Young Master Yun doesn't need to reply to the main hall immediately, you can think about it carefully, and I hope to get your satisfactory answer at the summer banquet on the eighth day of the first lunar month next month." His bony hand pulled a gilded yellow post from his sleeve and placed it on the table, then got up to leave.
Zhao Mingsheng, do you know that you are forcing me to death again and again. Yunyan closed his eyes, didn't speak, and didn't get up to see him off, looking very rude.
Zhao Mingsheng turned sideways, looked at her thin back and said, "This hall always feels that it seems that I have known Yun Gongzi before. Then he laughed at himself: "However, such an unruly person as Yun Gongzi is always impressive, but I have no impression at all, I don't know it." He lifted the curtain and strode out.
Yunyan exhaled straight, she stared blankly at the kind of post like Zhao Mingsheng on the table, and kept wiping the tears on her face, her heart was so painful that it was so difficult to even inhale.
"Yun Gongzi's unruly person is always impressive, but I don't have any impression at all, I don't know it." "I don't know."
The words echoed in her ears like a spell, and her person slipped from her chair as if she had been drained of her strength. Zhang Jinsheng saw Yunyan who fell to the ground and shouted at her, Yunyan only felt that the surroundings were very blurry as if covered with a mist, and gradually the sound was inaudible, and she fainted.
On the carriage back to the palace, Zhao Mingsheng looked at the few pieces of information that he had already rummaged through, where there was all the information about Yun Gongzi in the famous capital. He didn't have any past, only suddenly appeared in that plague and saved everyone, and then opened the Hanging Pot Pharmacy and Wufangzhai. A man who looks like even women are very envious, but he doesn't have any family and friends, and he behaves in a different way. He is like a shining star, suddenly appearing on the continent of Hu State, seemingly doing business simply, and not liking to cling to the powerful.
If it can be used by him, it is the best, if it can't be used by him, it is also a hidden danger to keep, just kill it.
A hint of murder flashed in his eyes, and a dangerous smile crossed his lips.
Yunyan woke up again, and it was night. The sound of drums and seals whispering softly in her ears came from the side, and it was time to watch the horn and listen to the play. It was so late, she had slept for a long time, and she had really been busy enough during this time.
She asked Wufangzhai's little man to make her a bowl of chazuku, and ate a few salty snacks to fill her stomach at will. She changed into a light dark red silk robe, and walked into the lobby to take a look.
The ladies and ladies came here to buy a few pieces of snacks and bags, and went to the sleepgarden next door to pass the time when they were listening to the play. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, she put on a veil and simply went to the rumored No. 1 Theater in Beijing to listen to the play and relax.
She stood there to buy a ticket, and when she heard the lady next to her talking, she couldn't help but listen patiently.
The woman in the bright yellow shirt said, "Today is the first time that Boss Qin has performed on stage after five years!" The hairpin next to her was red and green, and some elderly women sighed: "Qin Mo is an excerpt, singing the best people in the world~"
Yunyan thought about it, maybe Wufangzhai was too popular, so Qin Mo had to go to the town, originally wanted to buy a side seat to listen to the fun, she added another stack of money, and said, "The first seat." The little guy looked at the clouds, struck the golden gong, and said in a loud voice; The first one is sold today! He hurriedly sent a white and pure little servant to lead Yunyan to the first seat: "Master, please be good inside." β
There is a tradition in the Garden that when the first one is bought, a servant will ring a golden gong to tell all the guests that it is a sign of status. Of course, the first one in the Dream Garden is also very expensive, with a starting price of 1,000 taels of gold, and the price is marked upwards with the fame of the singers, and there is no upper limit. So this time, Yun Yan spent a lot of money, which caused everyone present to talk about it.
