As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Yang Congyi and introduced: "This is Shiro's friend for many years, Lord Yang in front of the palace!" ”

As soon as everyone heard that the young man sitting next to Father Tang and dressed in ordinary clothes was actually an official of the imperial court, they immediately stood up and saluted, and said, "I've seen Lord Yang!" ”

Yang Congyi didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and said hurriedly: "You can't be like this, I am a friend of Tang Xun, and I am also an equal friend with him, presumably you are all his elders, and naturally they are also my elders, how can you accept the gifts of your elders?" ”

"Okay, since they are not outsiders, let's listen to the virtuous nephew, let's sit down, take this opportunity, and tell you a good news." As soon as Father Tang said a few words, everyone sat down one after another after Yang Congyi sat down, and their attention turned back to him.

I only heard Father Tang say: "Renhe Pharmacy has been in the medicinal material business for a hundred years, from practicing medicine to a small medical hall in Zhangxuda, and then slowly making a pharmacy, and now the business is all over Nanjianzhou, and it has also done it in other states and counties, and it is also a little famous in Nanjianzhou, but in recent years, no matter how hard you try, the business can not go further, and it is even more and more difficult to do, and you have lost a lot of old customers for no reason, what is the reason, you can't say too clearly, but now the opportunity has come." ”

Everyone looked at him in unison, just waiting for his next step.

He continued, "I'm sure some of you have already heard that our business will double in the future!" Today, Renhe Pharmacy sold a high price to order a peer medicinal material business, their assets are relatively rich, nine business roads, 24 warehouses, more than 100 high-quality carriages, 160,000 catties of medicinal materials in stock, more than 400 skilled employees, although the scale is comparable to Renhe Pharmacy, but they have not been doing it for a long time, but they have just begun to make profits, once we successfully take over, it will not be long before we are the largest pharmaceutical merchant in Jianzhou, Huinan. This matter was also facilitated by Yang Xian's nephew. After speaking, he glanced at Yang Congyi again to show respect.

Hearing the news, everyone's faces were happy or worried, and some people's faces were calm as usual, as if they had nothing to do with him.

"Big brother, isn't it too risky?" One of them had no smile on his face and immediately questioned it.

"We can't even take care of the current business, how can we care about anything else. It cost a lot of money to make such a big mess, and when we spend money, my eldest brother doesn't talk to us, and he spends the money casually, so he has to give us an explanation! The other man immediately attacked, apparently not optimistic about the matter.

Except for the two of them, the rest of them were silent with their eyes flashing.

Father Tang said loudly: "I have made the decision on this matter, the contract has been signed, and I called you here today to tell you the good news, not to discuss with you whether this matter should or should not be discussed!" Renhe Pharmacy has been stagnant for several years, for many reasons, I won't talk about it here, but now this opportunity is rare, such a big business needs everyone to work together and take it over, not to pour cold water! When the business grows bigger, we have more opportunities to make money, don't stick to the pursuit of comfort in one acre and three points, and think about comfort, otherwise the final result will be destruction, I hope you can understand this truth. Let's get moving from tomorrow onwards, sort out the errands in hand, and then we'll discuss how to take over those businesses in a few days! ”

When everyone saw his tough tone, the people who had just put forward a different opinion immediately shut up and stopped talking, but looking at the expressions on their faces, they didn't seem to be very convinced.

"It's a good thing to be able to expand the medicinal herb business in Nanjianzhou, and you all cheer up. In the past, we relied on hard work and our own ability to occupy a place in Nanjian Prefecture, but now we have Shiro and Yang Xian's nephew, and the road will definitely be smoother in the future, what are you worried about? "Father Tang's ambition, few of the dozen or so people here understand, and not many people agree.

Yang Congyi saw it in his eyes, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to push the medicinal herb business of the Divine Cavalry Army to them, and Father Tang tied him to Tang Xun in their medicinal herb business, how much impact this move would have on his future career, and he couldn't figure it out now. But in order to facilitate the smooth transfer of the business of the Divine Cavalry to Father Tang, he had promised to take a percentage of their profits, and this rope tied to him was difficult to break free in a short time, and he didn't know who was more beneficial, and he didn't know if it was good or bad for him to be involved in this matter.

From the eyes of everyone looking at him, he knew that it would be difficult for him to break away from Renhe Pharmacy, there was a relationship between Tang Xun in the open, and a contract in secret. For the sake of his career, now he only hopes that Renhe Pharmacy and the Divine Cavalry will not find trouble for him in the future, and as for the profit, he would rather not.

After that, Yang Congyi did not listen carefully to the matter of Renhe Pharmacy that Father Tang discussed with everyone, and he had been thinking about the gains and losses of this trip to Nanjianzhou. But in the end, he found that he might have been caught in a battle that involved the government and the opposition, and he simply had no ability to break free from it.

When they had finished their business, the feast began.

Yang Congyi, the official of the court in front of the palace, and Tang Xun's friend, naturally became the protagonist of this banquet, and everyone surrounded him, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and drinking round after round, until he forgot the reason for drinking.

More than a dozen people raised their glasses, all of them were elders, he did not refuse, no matter how large the amount of wine could not stand drinking water and poured it into the stomach, the table was full of food, and without moving a few chopsticks, he was already drowsy, drunk and fell on the table.

How to go back, Yang Congyi can't remember it at all, and he slept very peacefully this night.

When I woke up the next day, I was still a little drunk and dizzy, but fortunately the servant brought the decanting soup in time.

After resting for another hour or two, he came to his senses, but his head still ached, and he had this problem after drinking too much, and he was still drunk for two nights in a row.

It was originally scheduled to leave early in the morning, but it was delayed for several hours due to an uncontrolled drink.

After washing, I just rested for a while, took my luggage and was about to say goodbye to Father Tang, but saw him walk into the courtyard.

"Is the virtuous nephew okay?" Father Tang entered the door and asked with great concern.

Yang Congyi smiled: "After drinking the sobering soup, it's fine." The little nephew was about to say goodbye to his uncle, and he didn't want his uncle to come first. ”

Father Tang asked in surprise: "The virtuous nephew is really going to leave in such a hurry, don't stay for a few more days?" ”

Yang Congyi replied apologetically: "I have an errand to do, and my little nephew has no choice, so I have to leave Jianpu today." ”

Father Tang was a little disappointed and said: "I originally thought that if the business was settled with the help of the virtuous nephew, it would definitely go well, but I didn't want the virtuous nephew to leave in such a hurry." ”

Yang Congyi hurriedly bowed down and apologized: "The little nephew really has to leave immediately, otherwise he will definitely stay for a few more days, and ask my uncle for forgiveness!" ”

Father Tang sighed and said: "The virtuous nephew has important matters in the court, and the uncle can't delay you, so I can only hope that you can stay for a few more days next time you come to Jianpu." ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "The next time the little nephew comes back, he will definitely stay until his uncle gets bored." ”

Father Tang laughed and said: "No, no, as long as the virtuous nephew lives, the uncle will not be annoyed, the virtuous nephew can come when he has time, and he can live as long as he wants." ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "That little nephew is serious!" ”

Then he picked up the luggage and said, "Thank you uncle for your hospitality, it's not too early, the little nephew should leave." ”

"Since there is something wrong, my uncle will not force him to stay. Let's go, I'll give you a ride! Father Tang got up after speaking.

The two of them passed through the doors of the inner courtyard, chatting as they went, and walked until they reached the gate amid the sound of greetings.

"Since the virtuous nephew is going to take the waterway, my uncle will take you to the ferry." While Father Tang was talking, the servant had already driven the carriage and stopped in front of the door.

"It's good for the little nephew to leave by himself, and the uncle also has a lot of things to deal with, so he can't send it anymore." Yang Congyi excused himself, and then bowed and saluted: "Thank you uncle for your hospitality, my little nephew has left!" ”

Seeing this, Father Tang couldn't force it anymore, so he said, "Okay, that virtuous nephew has a good trip!" If you find out where Shiro is, please ask your nephew to send a message to his uncle! ”

Yang Congyi replied: "Uncle, don't worry, as soon as there is news, the little nephew will immediately ask someone to tell his uncle!" ”

"Okay, good news for my uncle and other virtuous nephews." Father Tang smiled, then beckoned to the servant, "Send Lord Yang to Sungai Ferry." ”

The servant answered, then took the pedals from the carriage, placed them under the carriage, and stood aside.

"Thank you, uncle, it's not too early, so don't leave it at that!" Yang Congyi gave another salute.

"Okay, pay attention to safety on the road, and stay a few more days next time." Father Tang admonished.

"The little nephew knows." After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he strode forward and quickly boarded the carriage.

After putting down the salute, Yang Congyi poked his head out and said with a smile: "I don't know when I will see you again, the little nephew wishes that my uncle will be in good health and have a prosperous business!" ”

Father Tang smiled and said: "I wish my nephew no disasters and no diseases, and he will be prosperous!" ”

The curtain was lowered, and the carriage started slowly.

Father Tang stood at the door, uncertain, and watched the carriage go away.

Nanjianzhou is thousands of miles away from Lin'an, and goodbye is indefinite. Lord Yang is already a seven-rank official in front of the palace, and I don't know what rank Tang Xun is, but I hope to get news of him!

The carriage quickly disappeared from sight, and Father Tang turned around and walked into the door, and it was time to do a vigorous battle.

In the backyard of the inner house, a woman was concentrating on painting, preoccupied, all her attention on the stroke in her hand and the paper that had not yet been painted.

The maid on the side held a fan and gently sent a breeze to the woman who was painting.

The maid looked at the part of the painting that had been presented, it was a young and handsome man, and suddenly couldn't help but shake her head and sigh secretly.

After a few moments, the woman put down her brush and stared at her painting closely, a faint flush on her face, revealing a slight smile.

"Yun Niang, what is written on this painting?" Seeing that the painting was finished, the maid who had been holding back for a long time was finally able to speak.

"You don't understand." The woman turned her head and asked, "How's it going for you to inquire about the news?" ”

The maid replied: "I don't know if I have a family, I don't have children anyway." ”

After hearing this, the woman was silent.

The maid persuaded: "That man is not a small official, although he has no children, it is estimated that there are several wives and concubines, so you should not think too much." If you want to get married, let the master choose an innocent son for you. ”

The woman suddenly said in a cold voice: "I want you to talk more!" ”
