Chapter 33: If One Plan Fails, Another Plan (Part I)
The Qian family's caravan set off early in the morning, and Wu Yi rode on a horse and looked at the stretching caravan, very excited. When he came, he met the "unlucky" Zhou Governor's Mansion, and he was so nervous that he entered the city, and now riding a high-headed horse, Wu Yi feels that life is really wonderful. Qian Ning and the Zhang family brothers and sisters said goodbye to Qian Wanquan and led the caravan to the capital.
Wan Ting hasn't come out of the room yet, and Zhou Qi has never seen Wan Ting compete with anyone like this. Zhou Qi went out to walk around Huizhou City, and saw the caravan of the Qian family, Zhou Qi saw Wu Yi looking around on the horse, and the posture of riding a horse was very rusty at a glance, and it was a matter of time before he fell. Zhou Qi didn't want to care about others for the time being, so he seemed to be leisurely all the way to the small tea tube diagonally opposite Chen Ji Qian Zhuang and sat down.
"Guest, do you want tea?"
"Anything."
"This objective, new arrival in Xinyang Maojian, do you see?"
"Yes." Zhou Qi didn't care about eating and drinking, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Chen Ji. After a while, Chen Mingyang came, and Chen Ji also came in and out of many guests.
Zhou Qi observed while drinking tea, Chen Mingyang would look at the account book for a while, greet the guests for a while, and go into the inner hall for a while, there was nothing abnormal. Zhou Qi even observed Chen Mingyang's appearance, more than two feet tall, with a face with distinct facial features, although the cheekbones are a little high, which does not affect the overall coordination, the lips are a little thick, and the neck is slender. Zhou Qizheng was staring at Chen Mingyang with a teacup, and a person came to the side, "Lord Zhou? ”
Zhou Qixun looked at it, and it was Qian Wanquan, "Boss Qian." ”
Qian Wanquan sat directly next to Zhou Qi without waiting for a greeting, "Why is Lord Zhou drinking tea here?" It's better to go to my counter, the best Tieguanyin, please Zhou adults to taste. ”
"No need." Zhou Qi took a sip of tea and glanced at Qian Wanquan slowly, "Boss Qian, what you asked Wu Yi to tell the official, the official didn't quite understand." ”
"Huh? Xiaomin didn't say anything! ”
"Hmph, well, in that case, why did you tell the Chincha?"
"Chincha?"
Zhou Qi has been in the palace for a long time, and he is the best at looking at his eyes, before he said that Wu Yi passed the word, Qian Wanquan's appearance was that he didn't want to muddy the waters, and now when he said Li Bo, Qian Wanquan really didn't understand.
"Boss Qian, look at the other side."
Qian Wanquan glanced at Chen Ji and then at Zhou Qi.
"You Qian Ji and Chen Ji jointly pay tribute to tea, why doesn't Chen Ji have anything, whether it is the official or the Qin Cha, they are all checking your Qian Ji?"
"What do you mean?"
"The official is just curious, the two of you are trading in opposite directions, and there is a lot of friction in the mall! Why are you willing to let Chen Ji share a piece of the pie offered by your court? ”
"Lord Zhou, thirty years ago, our Hui merchants were still just living in a corner, and the Jin merchants were alone in the world, but in just 30 years, the Hui merchants have surpassed the Jin merchants, and they are only able to help each other outside. It is true that there is a lot of friction between our Qian Ji and them Chen Ji, but this is the first time in 20 years that Chen Qianlang has taken the initiative to come to me to discuss cooperation, and I can't help but give him this face. ”
"For the first time in twenty years? What's the inside story? ”
Qian Wanquan was stunned for a moment, "My lord, there is no problem with Qian Ji and Chen Ji's tea, this is a certainty." ”
"It's hard for people to believe in themselves, but Boss Qian believes in Chen Ji like this?" Zhou Qi saw that Qian Wanquan didn't speak, so he got up and left. Zhou Qi understands a truth, people standing on high places only need to muddy the water to see the situation clearly, people are not afraid of many things, they are afraid that everyone will do nothing, and now Qian Ji and Chen Ji are doing nothing, so Zhou Qi will find something for them to do.
Zhou Qi didn't go far, a little beggar ran over and handed Zhou Qi something, and ran away without saying anything. Zhou Qi took a look, isn't this the little canine tooth hanging around Li Bo's neck! It was the first tooth that fell out of the first dog he raised when he was a child, and Zhou Qi had only seen it twice, but fortunately, no one would take this thing on his body, Zhou Qi was startled, because this was something that Li Bo had always carried around his neck, and he had basically never taken it off.
Zhou Qi hurriedly went to the post station, and went upstairs, and Li Bo was packing up his things inside.
"Huh? What are you doing here? ”
Zhou Qi instantly understood that something was wrong, turned around and left, and in an instant, two sword slaves with anesthetic medicine shot Zhou Qi and Li Bo, and the two lost consciousness instantly.
Qian Ning and his party hurried up, and at noon they were sharpened at the inn. Channing looked around the goods and finally sat down to eat.
"Shaodong, I kept it for you, it's all your favorite food."
Everyone had finished eating, and Wu Yi took it out for Qian Ning and put it on a plate, "How do you know that I love to eat these." ”
"I asked Sister Bai Zhi last night, Shaodong, don't worry, I'll take care of you on the way."
"Yo, when do we need someone to take care of our business?" , Zhang Ling walked over, different from the ladies in the Qian family, and now Zhang Ling is wearing a short fight, clean and neat.
"Miss Zhang, I can take care of you too." Wu Yi said with a smile.
Zhang Ling glanced at Wu Yi and then at Qian Ning, "Qian Shaodong, we still have to hurry." ”
"Well, okay, let's go after half a pillar of incense!"
After Zhang Ling left, Wu Yi sat next to Qian Ning, "Shaodong, people are iron rice and steel, and then leave when you are full, it's too late!" ”
"Wu Yi, Sister Zhang Ling is right, we are not so particular about running businesses, hurry up and eat two bites and hurry up, and spend an extra day of money for one more day, then the profit will be less and less, and we can't take it lightly before we find a buyer this time."
Wu Yi heard that it was not easy to do business, "Then the young owner, you can eat quickly!" I won't bother you. ”
Qian Wanquan paced back and forth in the flower hall, calculating Zhou Qi's words, not knowing who told Qin what to cha, and he didn't know why Chen Ji was able to stay alone. He even thought carefully about the situation: Chen Qianlang took the initiative to talk to him about cooperation, Zhang Hai came to him to cooperate, the tea in the palace was in trouble, several Qin Cha had an accident, and finally Zhou Governor and Yu Nian investigated and found rat droppings, Zhang Hai and Yu Nian met privately, Zhou Governor was framed, and Qin Cha came forward to calm the incident. What are Zhang Hai and Yu Nian planning together, this is for sure, but what about Chen Qianlang? Has Zhang Hai ever looked for Chen Qianlang? If you have found someone who wants to bring down the Qian family together, then Chen Qianlang should not hand over the tea with Qian Ji. If you haven't looked for it, how can Chen Ji be calm? Chen Mingyang came that day, which means that Zhang Hai must have also looked for Chen Ji, so will they get together?
"It's hard enough for people to believe in themselves." Qian Wanquan thought of Zhou Qi's words, and remembered that the Qian family and the Chen family had had a lot of contacts in the past 20 years, but he and Chen Qianlang rarely moved. It's all because of a love word, the two people who were once inseparable have become strangers, will he want to restrain himself to death?
"Sir." The Qian family's wife, Wang, walked in, "Master, what's wrong with you?" They said you didn't come out of the flower hall all the time. ”
"Oh, it's okay, Qian Ning has already gone to the capital, and when the tea is sold, our crisis will be over."
"Master, but the matter of the tea garden is not clear after all, no matter who the court enshrines this year, it will be more difficult for us to get it back in the future than to ascend to the sky."
"In business, there is always a time for customers to run, and then look for it, the important thing is that our Qian family can survive."
The Wang family felt stable by Qian Wanquan's side, because the man opposite had also gone through strong winds and waves for so many years, and this time, the Wang family believed in him like every time in the past twenty years, and believed that the Qian family would definitely be able to get through the difficulties.
In the capital, the household department finally agreed on the imperial court to worship and be replaced by the Qi family in the capital. Hubu Shangshu originally strongly advocated that Huizhou Chen Ji take over, because the tea handed over by Chen Ji was also excellent, and the problems were all handed over by Qian Ji, which was also intentional, to keep Chen Ji and destroy Qian Ji. But the emperor vetoed it, although the prime minister didn't know what the hell was going on in the household, but he was always right to stir up yellow.
The household department is not unprepared, and the Qi family is an alternative, because the Qi family does not have a tea garden, and the tea leaves are circulated. The plan of the household department is to find someone who has no goods, find someone who has goods to cover each other, and hide from the world.
Qian Ning, who was on the way, got the news and felt that this was simply an unexpected joy, and he just sold his goods directly to the Qi family.
"Qian Ning, my sister and I continue to press the goods forward, you hurry up to Qi's house to discuss with them. If they have already circulated the goods, it will be difficult to keep track of the money. Zhang Hao is also very decisive in doing things, and he made a decision immediately.
"Okay, then I'll go to the capital to find the Qi family immediately." Qian Ning took Wu Yi and left the army as soon as possible, and marched towards the capital.
At this time, Zhou Qi felt confused, and the noisy movement outside made him upset, as if a light shone in through the window, but no matter how hard he tried, his eyes still couldn't open.
"Oh, Lord Zhou, this is really, this is this, this is really insulting Sven and insulting Sven!" It was Yu Nian's voice, "Fellow villagers, this is nothing to look at, everyone, give someone Yu a face, don't talk nonsense!" ”
The noise was louder, and it seemed like a swarm of flies buzzing. Zhou Qi finally opened his eyes, and there was a group of people standing in front of him, vaguely, and the fat figure of Yu Nian came into view, as if he was beckoning people out, and he didn't forget to instruct, "Don't give face, don't talk about it......"
Zhou Qi felt that he had no strength in his body, so he raised his head vigorously and saw Li Bo lying on the side, both of them were disheveled, and Zhou Qi's brain buzzed.
"Oh, Lord Zhou, my Lord Zhou! Why, heck, you shouldn't be seen! What does it look like to pass it out! Let the people think of us! Zhou Qi pounded his chest and said, "Lord Zhou, the lower officials must try their best to appease the people and cover up this matter." With that, Yu Nian shook his head and turned to leave.
Zhou Qi finally sat up, wanting to call Yu Nian but didn't know what to say, seeing that Li Bo was still asleep, he was angry, and kicked Li Bo under the bed with enough strength.
Li Bo woke up suddenly and got up, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
