Chapter 9 Boiling Tea and Talking about Waiting for Half an Hour, Fortunately, before coming, Wang Siming had already expected what kind of treatment he would receive, so he was not in a hurry at this time, and he survived this half hour by admiring the new mansion built by Shen Chongming at great expense.

In the past half a day, Wang Siming has not gained anything. From the solemn mansion in front of him, he saw something, and that was Chen Dui's qi. This is probably a true portrayal of Shen Chongming's mood now, the hero is in the twilight, and now the big tomorrow is no longer his stage.

"Governor Wang, Grandpa Guo is invited." Just when Wang Siming was full of emotion in his heart, Brother Erdan didn't know when he was standing behind him.

"Oh, there's Rauma-sama." Wang Siming nodded with a smile, raised his feet and walked towards the solemn gate. Today's Shen Chongming only has such means, and the method of hanging visitors out of the door is not from everyone's hands.

"Governor Wang, the threshold of the Guogong Mansion is high, you can be careful, don't trip." Watching Wang Siming walk to the door, the second brother behind him kindly reminded.

Wang Siming's figure was for a while, and he stopped and looked back and said with a smile: "The threshold of Zhang Ge's hometown in the capital is higher, and the official has never been tripped in and out from time to time, so I don't have to worry about Lord Ma here." ”

Looking at Wang Siming's smug expression, Brother Erdan couldn't help but secretly spit in his heart, a dog who only knows how to slap horses, waiting for my family to take power again, you must be good-looking!

Striding into the door, the situation in front of him made Wang Siming secretly envious. This Shen Chongming is really a rich man, until he has spent a lot of money on the construction of this mansion, but he didn't expect that the furnishings inside will cost more money than this courtyard. Just such a front yard, he was transformed into a back garden, strange flowers and trees abound, all of which are famous treasures in various places.

Amazed, Wang Siming involuntarily removed the arrogant look on his face, it seemed that he had underestimated him before.

"Hehe, it's fun to have friends from afar, Brother Siming, rare guest." Shen Chongming, who was standing in front of the main hall, was full of spring breeze, and this performance once again exceeded Wang Siming's expectations.

According to his previous thoughts, Wang Siming can be very sure that Shen Chongming will definitely hate him when he sees himself now, after all, he has robbed him of the throne of the governor of the maritime yamen, and now when he is down, he can be regarded as a stone.

Surprised in his heart, Wang Siming didn't show it on his face, bowed slightly and smiled: "Grandpa Guo, it's been a long time, I don't know how Grandpa Guogong is doing recently?" ”

Shen Chongming laughed, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Siming, I, Shen Chongming, am in the prime of life, so naturally I am very good." You came all the way from the capital, please have a cup of strong tea inside. ”

"Grandpa Guo, please." Wang Siming stretched out his hand and said, Shen Chongming was not polite, turned around and strode in. "Erdan, go to the backyard teahouse and bring my babies and the rest of the big red robes, and let Brother Siming taste them and see how they taste."

It's okay to be idle all day, Shen Chongming can only find some fun for himself, dancing and playing the piano is not his forte, and an elegant thing like the tea ceremony has naturally become the best choice, after all, he is also a noble person now, and he can't be vulgar like before.

Shen Chongming's tea set was also selected by Brother Erdan, and he just took a look at it for the first time, and it was made of silver by Shen Chongming's old hat.

But if you take a closer look, you can see that this pot is full of vermilion grains, and it is clearly a rare silver sand pot, which is commonly known as a sand pot with a skin, and the rest of the tea sets are also fired with silver sand!

These things are priceless and rare in the world, but anyone who reads books hopes that they can have a set, even themselves. And he has lived for nearly thirty years, and he has seen a small teapot like this on Feng Bao's Mansion before. It's just that I didn't expect that Shen Chongming's entire set of tea sets was made of silver sand, which was even rarer in the world.

Ignoring Wang Siming's surprised look, Shen Chongming skillfully picked up the fire fold and lit the small furnace that Brother Erdan ordered to bring, Wang Siming clearly found that this little Lu was clearly made of gold!

Jealous in his heart, Wang Siming couldn't help but slander: It is said that businessmen are full of copper smell, and it seems that Shen Chongming, who is full of poetry and books, has not been able to get rid of this cliché.

"Brother Siming, this water is the flower dew collected by my brother in the early morning, you smell it, is it fragrant?" Shen Chongming didn't seem to notice the envy, jealousy and hatred in Wang Siming's eyes, and handed the dew that had just been poured into the silver clay pot in front of Wang Siming.

At this time, Wang Siming was already surprised, and nodded without hearing it: "Sure enough, Brother Shen, you will enjoy it." ”

"Hehe, it's just so-so." Shen Chongming pretended to be modest, and said while busy pouring the things in his hand: "Brother Siming Xian came all the way to Nanjing City, it shouldn't be just to visit his brother, right?" ”

Wang Siming smiled contemptuously in his heart, and finally got to the point. "Hehe, coming to visit Brother Shen is just one of them, don't hide it from Brother Shen, you said, this time, the little brother really needs your help with something, Brother Shen."

"Hehe, you and my brother have been friends for many years, even if there is anything, if you can help as a brother, you will never refuse." Shen Chong's name didn't raise his head, what came to ask him for help, it was obvious that he was looking for trouble.

"Since that's the case, then the little brother won't hide it." Wang Siming smiled and nodded, "Junior brother heard that Brother Shen's Tongda car immediately holds a hundred percent of the shares of the Royal Commercial and Trade Bank, I don't know if this matter is true?" ”

Shen Chongming's body was stunned, then he raised his head and said with a smile: "It's true that Yicheng dry shares are not fake, but this Tongda car and horse shop is not for brothers, it is Pengcheng's industry, and this Cheng dry stock is naturally his." Brother Siming, why did you suddenly ask about this? ”

Wang Siming smiled, "Brother Shen, everyone knows whose industry is Tongda Carriage and Horse Shop, and you don't need to hide it here from the younger brother." Don't hide it from Brother Shen, the younger brother came this time for the sake of the dry shares in the hands of the Royal Trade House. ”

Shen Chongming smiled, put down the things in his hand and said, "Could it be that Brother Siming, what do you think of that Yicheng dry stock?" ”

"Wrong, it's not that the younger brother has any thoughts about the Yicheng cadre stock in Brother Shen's hands, but that the imperial court has ideas. In the past two years, the Royal Trade Bank has earned a lot of money, and Brother Shen must have made a lot of profits, and the younger brother can't even think of it. Wang Siming smiled, such a good thing will end here, how can you make Shen Chongming always go on without work like this.

"Even if you're right, I won't tell you the truth, I spent more than 300,000 taels of silver for my brother in this house." Shen Chongming no longer played any tricks. He already understood Wang Siming's intention, and he must have been ordered to come here to snatch a hundred percent of the shares of the royal trading house!

A mansion costs 300,000 taels of silver, and if Wang Siming had been killed before, he would not believe it, unless the mansion was made of sterling silver. But today, when he saw Shen Chongming's Guogong Mansion, even if it was built for 500,000 taels, he would be convinced.

"Brother Shen, please forgive the little brother for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, now the people's lives are still difficult, although the imperial court is much more prosperous than in previous years, but there is still not much silver in the household department. For this reason, Zhang Ge Lao has been thinking hard all day long, but you are spending money in this Nanjing City, don't you feel guilty? ”

"Lord Wang, my family uses his own money, and it is not obtained from corruption, why can't he use it?" Before Shen Chongming could speak, Brother Erdan couldn't listen to it. Bullshit, you came here to pretend to be a good person, and I don't know why you didn't think about the difficulties of the court when you shamelessly accepted bribes!

"Erdan, how can you talk to Brother Siming like this?" Shen Chongming reprimanded, then turned his head to Wang Siming and smiled: "Brother Siming, this person has such a temper, don't be surprised." However, although his words are ugly, they are also reasonable. This silver was earned by my Shen Chongming, so why can't I use it? Besides, the 300,000 taels of silver were spent, other merchants had profits, and the court also collected taxes from it. ”

Shen Chongming's eloquence is well known, and Wang Siming also knows that fiddling with these truths is not his opponent at all, so he has to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses and not talk about this topic. "Brother Shen, even if you are right, but are you really getting these silvers in the right and bright?"

Without giving Shen Chongming a chance to speak, Wang Siming then said: "As far as my junior brother knows, the dry shares of the Royal Trading Bank in your hand had a dividend of nearly three million taels last year, and Brother Shen, you didn't do anything to have this income. With such a free get, do you think Brother Shen is bright? ”

"I didn't steal or rob, why can't I call it above board?" Shen Chongming didn't bother to make a big point, and once again left Wang Siming speechless with a simple sentence.

His heart was in a hurry, and Wang Siming said shamelessly: "But you get it for nothing, but it is the interests of the court that you get, don't you feel a little guilty in your heart?" ”

"Nope." Shen Chongming immediately shook his head and said, almost blowing up Wang Siming's lungs alive! has no face and no skin, it has to be the person in front of him!

Taking a deep breath to calm down a pounding heart, Wang Siming finally revealed his original scoundrel face. "Grandpa Guo, this official is not here to talk to you about the scriptures and the Tao, and the future generations will have their own public opinions, and you and I don't have to waste my saliva here. I might as well tell you the truth, the imperial court has decided to take back the forty percent of the shares held by the royal trading house in the people, and no one can stop this decision. Of course, the imperial court will not have a moral bottom line like some people, and the dry shares you bought at whatever price you bought at the beginning, the imperial court will definitely take them back at the original price. If someone dares to disobey, the court is not a compassionate Buddha! ”
