Just when Liang Qingchuan's mind was flickering, he saw a carriage slowly coming from the street, and when he arrived in front of the building, he stopped the horse with his hand, and said to the carriage: "Governor, uncle, there is a friend building here." ”

As soon as the words fell, the curtain moved slightly, and Cui Wenqing had already lifted the curtain and walked out, jumping out of the carriage with the support of the driver.

When he just stood firm on the ground, Cui Wenqing turned around again to help Zhi Zhao who followed him to get out of the car, and the two talked and laughed, looking very intimate.

Seeing this, Liang Qingchuan suddenly perked up, looked around at the three grain merchants on the left and right, motioned for them to follow, hurriedly trotted briskly, and said with a smile: "We are here to welcome the Metropolitan Governor and Cui Gongzi, and it is really our honor to be able to enjoy the faces." ”

Hearing this, Cui Wenqing smiled, and said sarcastically to Zhi Zhao: "Lady, please look, today is the same place and the same person as that day, but the attitude is very different, and I don't know why!" ”

Zhi Zhao smiled slightly, but he didn't speak, and his beautiful eyes fell on Liang Qingchuan and the others, and they were also full of ridicule.

Liang Qingchuan's old face turned slightly red, and he forced himself to smile and said: "Cui Gongzi, it was a rude grass people to be rude before, and today I specially set up a banquet to accompany the two of you, and please don't be surprised by the Metropolitan Governor and Cui Gongzi." ”

Cui Wenqing sneered: "In this way, Shopkeeper Liang specially set up a banquet to compensate us, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, please be sure to appreciate your face." Liang Qingchuan's old face was full of embarrassed smiles, and the ravines looked like chrysanthemums blooming in August.

Cui Wenqing snorted coldly, frowned and said: "Shopkeeper Liang, I, Cui Wenqing, am a cheerful person, if I have anything to say, I will say it directly, we pay attention to your love and my willingness to do business, since the shopkeeper Liang has made it clear that he will not sell us the grain and grass of the Zhenwu Army, then we don't have so much spare time to come and accept your apology, after all, my lady is a busy person, responsible for military affairs, and commanding tens of thousands of troops, how can I have time to eat and drink with you, a small businessman?" ”

Liang Qingchuan's old face turned red when he said this, but his heart was full of anger, but he didn't dare to show his seizure at all.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said with a smile on his face: "Cui Gongzi is quick to talk, the grass people really admire it very much, in fact, in addition to apologizing to the two today, the grass people still have one more thing to discuss with the two." ”

The sneer overflowing from the corner of Cui Wenqing's mouth became even more obvious, and he said lightly: "It turns out that Shopkeeper Liang wants to hold Buddha's feet temporarily today, lady, what do you think?" What do you think? ”

Hearing this, Zhi Zhaoyan smiled, and suddenly remembered Cui Wenqing's teasing of her yesterday, so she pretended to be serious: "What do I think? Naturally, I am standing here and watching, today's affairs, the husband has full authority to decide, and whether to go or stay is all based on respect. ”

This girl, she has such a strong sense of revenge!

Cui Wenqing couldn't help but smile, and then coughed lightly and said: "Shopkeeper Liang, the governor has clearly told a few people that everything is decided by me, Cui Wenqing, I don't know if you understand?" ”

Liang Qingchuan hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the grass people have heard the order of the Metropolitan Governor just now, Cui Gongzi, please be sure to appreciate your face, so that we can express our apologies." ”

Cui Wenqing saw that Liang Qingchuan's attitude was so low, and knew that if he didn't have a conspiracy in secret, if he didn't really ask for something, with the purpose of probing, he simply nodded and smiled: "Okay, this son has a lot of adults, and I will give you some face." ”

When the words fell, Liang Qingchuan immediately raised his eyebrows, nodded and said: "Thank you Cui Gongzi for discussing, Cui Gongzi, the metropolitan governor, please two inside."

When you come to the private room on the second floor and sit down, you will be accompanied by a maid with wine and food.

Zhe Zhao didn't drink alcohol and didn't have the heart to eat, he picked up the fragrant tea alone and tasted it slightly, keeping his mouth silent and not opening his mouth at all, as I said just now, whether to leave or stay today, completely depends on Cui Wenqing's decision.

Liang Qingchuan and the others drank a few glasses of apology wine first, and saluted Cui Wenqing a few glasses with a shy old face, and then smiled a little embarrassedly: "Don't hide it from Cui Gongzi, in addition to apologizing to the two of you today, the grass people also want to talk to the two of you about the business of military food supply, and I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

Cui Wenqing secretly sneered in his heart, but he said with a surprised smile on his face: "Oh? Didn't Liang Weng say that he wouldn't talk to us about business that day? Why is it that the order has changed again? ”

Hearing this, Liang Qingchuan looked even more embarrassed, and said, "Actually...... When discussing the purchase of military rations that day, the old man accidentally drank a few more glasses, dizzy, confused, and didn't know what he said at the time, after going back to sober up, the grass people were startled, and they already regretted it, but they were afraid that the governor and Cui Gongzi were still angry, and they did not come to apologize to the two in time. ”

Cui Wenqing laughed and said: "I see, the shopkeeper Liang was drunk and lost his temper that day, which made me think of it, but then again, the high price of your bucket of grain is forty Wen, and our Zhenwu Army can't afford it, so we can only refuse the kindness of the shopkeeper Liang." ”

"No, no, no, the grass people didn't quote the wrong price that day." Liang Qingchuan was so anxious that he shook his hand again and again, "In fact, the price of grain this year will not exceed 20 wen and one bucket, if Cui Gongzi comes to buy sincerely, the price can still be discounted." ”

"Oh, that's it?" Cui Wenqing showed a look of interest, and then sighed as if he thought of something, and shook his hand and said: "But it's too late to say these things now, don't hide it from the shopkeeper Liang, in fact, we have already bought the military rations that the Zhenwu Army needs this year in Luoyang City, and the shopkeeper who sold the grain also gave a great discount, and the price is still good." ”

Hearing these words in Liang Qingchuan's ears, it was no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and there was a burst of indescribable panic in his heart.

If the Zhenwu Army really negotiated this business with the Luoyang Grain Merchant, then he would definitely not be able to supply the Zhenwu Army with military rations, so he would lose a lot of silver taels a year.

And if the forces of those Luoyang grain merchants are allowed to enter Hedong Road, it will also be very unfavorable to him, and maybe it will shake his position as the first grain merchant on Hedong Road.

Thinking of this, Liang Qingchuan was even more uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Cui Gongzi, as far as I know, all those grain merchants in Luoyang City are not kind people, and cooperating with them to sell grain is tantamount to using a tiger to seek skin, so you have to be cautious." ”

Cui Wenqing nodded and said: "How can the shopkeeper Liang not know this, but ah, some time ago, we couldn't buy a grain on Hedong Road, and we had no choice but to go to Luoyang to sell grain, which was really helpless!" ”
