Huizhou Qian family said that it is three courtyards, in fact, there is a large garden behind it, into a circular structure, there are three main roads around the half-moon pavilion in the middle, the three main roads divide the courtyard into three pieces, during which there are various paths leading to each courtyard, ensuring that they are interconnected with each other and relatively closed, the main road is full of flowers and trees, also known as the flower path.

The daughter of the prefect's family came, which was a big face among the merchants, and Mrs. Qian naturally welcomed her warmly.

"Miss Zhou, this is Mrs. Chen, that's Mrs. Li and her daughter Liuli, that's Mrs. Yue and her daughters Kui'er and Juanzi, that's Mrs. Ma and her daughter Xiaoyatou, that's ......" Mrs. Qian showed the demeanor of the master and introduced them one by one, "This is my daughter Qian Duo." ”

Zhou Huanting wrote them down one by one and nodded, and activities are often held in the palace, and the royal smile Huanting is a child.

Everyone sat down and greeted each other, Qian Duo took the ladies of each house to the garden to play, everyone has actually known each other since childhood, but Huanting is new, so they all surround Huanting to inquire about the affairs of the capital, the things in the north make people feel fresh, but Huanting knows less, and the things in the palace can't be said, so soon everyone scattered to play.

Qian Duo naturally walked around privately with Wan Ting, "Sister Zhou, your brother was admitted to the top prize, and now you are also a lady of the official family." ”

Wan Ting thought to herself that I was so happy that a princess was an official lady, but she still showed a royal smile on her face, "My brother is naturally good at everything, whether he is good at learning or character, and good for us sisters." ”

"The young man of the Zhou Governor's Mansion has the ambition, and he will definitely become the pillar of the country in the future, although our merchants are rich, they are not as good as your official family, and you will have a place in the history books in the future."

"Your Qian family is also the richest man in one party, how many people point to you to live, even the court will give you three points of face."

The two were touting each other, a group of young ladies came to invite the two to go to the poetry club to compose poems, Wan Ting didn't like to read the most, and finally pushed it away, and came to the lake to watch the fish by herself, and saw a person fishing with Erlang's legs crossed in the pavilion from a distance.

"Who should I be, everyone is a girl in this garden, why did you come in as a big man?"

When Chen Mingyang heard Wan Ting speak, he only glanced at her, and didn't stand up and continue fishing, "Who should I be, it turned out to be the sister of the prefect's family, no wonder it was so noisy and scared away my fish." ”

"Hmph, Miss Ben is in a good mood today, so I don't care about you."

At this moment, the fish bit the hook, Chen Mingyang slowly lifted it up, Wan Ting got up in a hurry, and pulled a fishing rod hard, "Hurry up, I'm going to run!" As he spoke, the fish unhooked and left.

"Look, let's run!"

"If you hadn't pulled it hard, how would it have run!"

"It's just that you ran away slowly, I was kind enough to help you, why don't you appreciate it?"

"Kind? If you can stay away from me, I will thank you! Chen Mingyang stepped over the railing to reach the hook, intending to get another fish food to continue fishing.

Wan Ting was angry when she saw him, and now that the fish was unhooked, she blamed her for being even more angry, and raised her foot and kicked Chen Mingyang's buttocks, "Fuck you!" ”

Chen Mingyang originally leaned forward to reach the fishhook, and was suddenly kicked and fell into the water.

Wan Ting turned around and left, and heard the sound of water waves again, "Help, help, I don't know water!" Wan Ting turned around and saw Chen Mingyang floating and sinking, and the water was about to go over her head, so she hurriedly went into the water to save her. Finally pulled Chen Mingyang up, Chen Mingyang coughed violently a few times, and pushed Huanting with his hand, "You're crazy!" ”

"Who knew you couldn't swim as a southerner?"

"Then do you northerners all harness horses?"

"That's the Prairie Talent Club!"

Chen Mingyang really wanted to scold her, but he didn't know how to scold people, "It's better not for the two of us to meet in the future, and if we do, we will pretend not to know each other, I beg you, Miss." Chen Mingyang clenched his fists with both hands and gave Wan Ting a blow.

"Hey, I just rescued you, why don't you know what's wrong?" Wan Ting stood up and pointed at Chen Mingyang condescendingly and reminded.

Chen Mingyang also stood up angrily, "Then who pushed me down!" ”

The two were soaking wet, and they felt that the other was simply unreasonable, so they glared at each other and walked away.

Wan Ting went back to the house to bathe and change clothes, while scolding Chen Mingyang, Zhou Qi was still in the office of the mansion and didn't hear it, and the guards didn't know what the eldest lady was losing her temper again, so she pretended not to hear and didn't dare to speak.

The queen checked the palace and reported that the palace people were fine, and the problem with tea might be in the Qian family. Many ministers were also worried about the quality of tribute tea, so the imperial court sent officials to Huizhou to investigate. When Qian Wanquan got the news, he hurriedly checked all aspects of tea production and transportation, and felt that there was no problem, so he waited for someone from the capital.

"Dad, didn't you say last time that Uncle Qian handed over our family's tea?"

"Our tea is fine!"

"But it's no problem to remember your own tea every year, what's wrong with this year?"

Chen Qianlang was puzzled in his heart, and he was also worried about whether the Qian family was a ghost, and he was thinking that someone outside the door asked to see him.

It turned out that Zhang Hai had already known about the affairs of the capital, and when he entered the door, he looked at the Chen family father and son with a smile. "Boss Chen, how are you doing lately?"

Chen Qianlang was suspicious of Qian Wanquan before, but when he saw Zhang Hai, he suddenly understood, "Thanks to you, it's not good." ”

"Hahaha, Boss Chen, the solution is at your fingertips, as long as you agree."

"Boss Zhang, how much business have you done? How much money have you earned? Or how many times have you succeeded? ”

"Zhang is not talented, he has never done business or made money, but Boss Chen, this time Zhang will make you successful."

"Huh, huh? Do you know how much money Qian Wanquan has earned? You know that when he took over the Qian family, his Qian family was not the first in Huizhou, and even our Hui merchants were not the opponents of the Jin merchants. ”

"What? Boss Chen is willing to live in Qian Wanquan for the rest of his life, and he is willing to listen to the Qian family's shouts for your children and grandchildren? ”

"Yes, I want the court to worship, but you must know that Qian Wanquan is not so easy to fall! You should also understand that one hand cannot cover the sky. ”

"Hahahaha, Boss Chen, I only understood today how you became the second in Huizhou, not because Qian Wanquan is powerful, but because you are timid! If you and Qian Wanquan's positions are reversed today, do you think the Qian family will seize this opportunity? ”

"Even if you get rid of the Qian family, my Chen family doesn't have so many goods to fill the big appetite of the imperial court."

"The Zhang family in Jinzhong has no goods by itself, relying on circulation, his Zhang family is close to monopoly in Xiliang, Boss Chen should know, otherwise your Chen family would not run into walls in Xiliang now, and you will compete with the Zhang family for the market."

"Can the imperial court worship be the same as the circulation of ordinary goods? If the goods are not good, I have a hanging neck knife for myself when I have the imperial court, Boss Zhang, are you helping me or am you hurting me? ”

"What if I have the goods?"

"What?"

"The Qian family's tea garden! If they fall, isn't the tea garden a treasure trove of things? ”

As soon as these words came out, the father and son of the Chen family gasped, this person already has the ability to reach the sky, and the palace has sent personnel to investigate, if it continues to develop like this, the Qian family will definitely be defeated, and now the question is, if the Chen family does not agree with Zhang Hai's proposal, can this Zhang Hai let them go?

After Zhang Hai left, the father and son analyzed for a long time, thinking that Zhang Hai came this time to talk about cooperation, and definitely not to put both families to death.

"Dad, we still have to tell Uncle Money."

Even if you tell him, will he believe it? Even if he believed, what could he do? Our business is nothing in the eyes of the official family after all! ”

"That's better than not knowing anything, not preparing anything, and being checked by Qin! Dad, although you and Uncle Qian rarely interact now, Grandpa said that you used to be very good! Besides, didn't Uncle Qian take us to fight for the imperial court worship this time? ”

"Oh, if he hadn't taken me, I would have lived for two more years!"

"Daddy! This is what you asked Uncle Qian to take with us, and now that something has happened, Uncle Qian can't predict it! No, I'll have to tell Uncle Chamber. ”

"Stop!"

"Daddy!"

"You let me think about it again, this Zhang Hai wants to take over the Qian family's tea garden, if he doesn't cooperate with us, he can also go to the imperial court to worship, why do he want to cooperate with us?"

"Daddy?"

"I'll have to figure it out."

In the dead of night, Chen Qianlang was sitting alone in the shadow of the hall, and Chen Mingyang stumbled in, "Are you back?" ”

"Hey, it scared the hell out of me. Dad, what are you doing sitting there? I didn't even see you. ”

"I'll sit here when you go out."

"Huh? You know I'm out? ”

"Tell you Uncle Money?"

"Well, Dad, I thought that if I didn't tell me, I really wouldn't want to go. So what are you thinking about sitting here? ”

"Zhang Haibei."

"Have you figured it out?"

"This Zhang Hai, why did you say he went to the Qian family before coming to our house?"

"Uncle Chen didn't agree, so he came to our house."

"Hmph, silly son! If he wants to bring down the Qian family, the best way should be to hide the Qian family's whereabouts and directly find someone who can take over, but he didn't. And he wanted to take over the Qian family's tea garden, and he didn't serve as a court worshipper himself, so he had to find us to cooperate, and we obviously didn't look for him, and he didn't look for anyone else. ”

"Dad, what do you mean?"

Chen Qianlang glanced at Chen Mingyang, "Your grandfather is really old and confused, and he still says that you are smart!" You're just not bright! I said a long time ago that this Zhang Hai is a big-tailed wolf, he wants to bring down the Qian family, but he has no money to take over the Qian family's business, so he needs our Chen family to take over, and he wants to make dry shares with two hands. ”

"Oh, no wonder! Dad, your kung fu is really top-notch! Admire, admire! ”

"Cut, you just knew what your dad is capable of? Hey, let me tell you, I still know why he went to Qian's house first. ”

"Why?"

"The first time he came out of the Qian family, he came to us, he brought an entourage, but today, he came alone."

"Dad, what do you mean?"

"Hmph, think for yourself, I'm going to sleep." Chen Qianlang stood up and walked to the backyard, leaving Chen Mingyang and the second monk, confused.
