Text Chapter 52 Discuss the opening of northern Xinjiang and lead to Yaotai
Shortly after the opening of the first branch of Fan Xue Lou, the Nie family's carriage procession finally arrived from the north. A sturdy man, a high-headed horse, and thirty or forty carriages lined up, which fully show the profound heritage of the Nie Yi family.
Nie Yi commanded people to unload half a cart of white flowers and silver one by one with a smile and pile them into the yard. Fan Xuelou was stunned from the money shopkeeper to the little fat man, this ...... So much money? What the! Or is it just a deposit?
The money shopkeeper's heart is a little messy! He looked at Yuan Zhao, who just smiled and nodded at him, indicating that the money was now ours, and he heard it right.
Everyone was busy, and the carriages were filled with tea, wine jars, and various edible products, which were the first goods to be prepared for Nie Yi. And he will follow him back to the north.
Before leaving, this chubby northern man was a little reluctant, and he didn't get along with Yuan Zhao for a long time, but Nie Yi felt that he had learned a lot.
Yuan Zhao said many words to him, and when he thought about it carefully, he often felt suddenly enlightened, even though Nie Yi had traveled north and south for so many years, some new words and unexpected ideas he had heard in the past few days had benefited him a lot.
Nie Yi walked back step by step, and the smoke and dust from the distance of the convoy gradually dissipated. The middle-aged man sitting on the thick mattress in the carriage would never have dreamed that from this moment on, his life would no longer be mediocre and destined to shine in the annals of history at some point in the future.
It's just that now, all he calculates in his heart is how much profit he earns from this trip, looking forward to the wonderful future that Yuan Zhao has depicted for him.
"The way of businessmen, Brother Yuan is so proficient, it's very rare!" Someone behind him sighed in a faint tone.
Yuan Zhao turned his head and saw the depressed face of an old scholar named Buyi Yan who he hadn't seen for a few days.
"Mr. Buyi hasn't seen me for a few days, I don't know where to go to find friends?"
"Haha, in this prosperous place of Chang'an, how can I have any friends! It's only been a few days, but I didn't expect you to make another big deal! Fanxue Lou is really getting more and more prosperous. ”
"It's just a little money, and the trail is not worth mentioning." Yuan Zhao was noncommittal.
"It's not a trail. The way of the businessman is really the university question of Jesahbang! Small can rejuvenate the family, big can rejuvenate the country. Bu Yiyan became a little serious and stroked his beard.
"Thinking about the Spring and Autumn Period, Fan Li, the doctor of the Yue Kingdom, assisted the King of Yue for ten years to gather ten years of lessons and revenge with the ministers of strategy. After the success, he retreated incognito, traced between the five lakes, specialized in the business industry, and accumulated huge wealth, contacts across the world, people all over the world called him Tao Zhu Gong, this is the person who has done the ultimate in business. ”
Naturally, he had heard of these stories, and nodded his head in agreement.
"Mr. Buyi is not only good at handwriting, but also knows the past and the present, discerning things, and thinks he is a talented person, but why has he been stumbling to this day?" The money shopkeeper next to him arched his hand to the cloth clothes.
When Bu Yiyan heard such a question, it seemed to arouse his sad heart all of a sudden, and his eyebrows were full of gloom.
"It's infinitely sad...... Don't mention it! Alas. ”
"Then, why don't Mr. Buyi stay in Fanxue Tower for the time being, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you will try to forge ahead." The money shopkeeper asked tentatively.
Bu Yiyan understood what he meant by settling down, he thought about it, and said solemnly to the two of them: "I think that when I first arrived in Chang'an, when I was down, I was taken care of by Fan Xuelou, and this kindness is unforgettable. It's just that this time, after all, there is still a trace of thought in my heart, and if I don't give it a try, my heart will be uneasy. ”
When the money shopkeeper heard him say this, he couldn't be reluctant anymore, smiled and talked for a while, and went to get busy.
Yuan Zhao looked at Bu Yiyan, in this era, businessmen did not have any identity, and Bu Yiyan could have such a deep understanding of business, which made Yuan Zhao value his knowledge a little more.
In the Jianzhang Palace, Liu Ju ran into his room from the back garden in a panic, looked around, and saw that there was a gap behind the couch, so he hurriedly hid and hid, but he was not at ease, and stretched out his head again, pointing his fingers and signaling to several palace maids and guards at the door, not to say that he was hiding here.
As soon as he retracted his head and hid it, the figure in the pale green shirt had chased after him from behind.
"Xiao Ju'er, you come out for me! Look where you run. Chased to this vicinity but disappeared, Su Xi looked left and right, and asked the guards at the door if they saw anyone, the guards and palace maids all laughed in their stomachs, and shook their heads together to say that they didn't see it.
The two princesses of Jianzhang Palace, the elder sister Suxi has a lively personality, and even a little rude. And Yunxi is much quieter and more stable. But compared to Yunxi's shyness, people in the palace still prefer Suxi more.
Su Xi took a look in the room, but did not find Liu Ju's shadow, and couldn't find where he was hiding for a while, and when his eyes rolled, he changed his gentle tone again.
"Xiao Ju'er, come out obediently! Sister won't grab chess pieces with you anymore, it's a big deal to let that kid make another box! Well, I won't play tricks anymore, come out and have a good game with me, okay? ”
Liu Ju, who was hiding in the gap behind the couch, desperately resisted the idea of going out, he knew his eldest sister too well. Don't look at the drizzle now, when she is tricked out, what awaits will be a thunderstorm! It was an experience that he remembered countless profound lessons.
But because of his careless movements, the curtain shook slightly a few times, and Su Xi, who was sharp-eyed, immediately found out.
Liu Ju suddenly felt a shadow enveloping him, and before he could look up, his ears hurt, and he was twisted by a slender little hand.
"Wow, I'm getting better and better, right? I didn't even listen to my sister's words, so I have to teach you a good lesson today. ”
Liu Ju's ears hurt, and he felt that little hand was dragging him out, and he couldn't help screaming.
"Oops! It hurts, it hurts! Who told you to always want to take my stuff and stop playing with you!"
Su Xi didn't let go, he had to force him to take out the hidden chess box, or he would never give up. Liu Ju was afraid that she would occupy it but didn't give it to her, and when the two were fighting, he suddenly heard someone snort coldly at the door, and when he looked up, it was his mother-in-law Mrs. Wei who arrived.
Mrs. Wei was followed by a little girl in pink clothes, it was Princess Yunxi, and it was commonplace to see that the eldest sister was abusing Xiao Ju'er again, she didn't help each other, she only pulled the corner of Mrs. Wei's clothes, and secretly pursed her lips and laughed.
"Look at the two of you, there are no palace rules! All day long knowing to play and play. Mrs. Wei was a little annoyed.
Her position in the palace is a little delicate now, so she is cautious in her words and deeds on weekdays, lest she be caught.
The three children, Yunxi and Xiao Ju'er are quite obedient, but only Su Xi is out of touch and too lively, and Mrs. Wei looks at her very strictly, lest she accidentally cause any trouble.
The day before yesterday, she dared to sneak in the team out of the palace and go out to play for a long time! After coming back, she was naturally scolded, but she had already been accustomed to these punishments from Mrs. Wei since she was a child.
Xiao Ju'er is an obedient good child, and when she saw her mother coming, she hurriedly pretended to be a good baby and fell into Mrs. Wei's arms.
"Mother, don't blame the eldest sister, it's Xiao Ju'er who is not good, and she didn't give her what the eldest sister also likes. Forget the meaning of harmony between the brothers and sisters taught by my mother on weekdays, if you want to blame Xiao Ju'er!"
Liu Ju has experienced a lot of similar situations, and he knows how to sue this unreasonable eldest sister best, and sure enough, the next scene is as he expected.
"Suxi! You're bullying Xiao Ju'er again. Say, what do you fancy about him and want to keep it for yourself? ”
Su Xi pursed her small mouth and glanced fiercely at Liu Ju, who was hiding behind Mrs. Wei and grimacing at her.
"I just want Xiao Ju'er to play with his new toys with me, who knew he was so stingy! The mother will be eccentric. Hum! ”
Madame Wei naturally understood the thoughts of these two little men, and although she wanted to laugh a little, she had to put her face on her face, in case they would become even more naughty in the future.
"What toy? Ju'er, hand it over, and your mother will keep it for you. ”
"Humph! Don't give me your stinginess!" Su Xi endured the pride of succeeding in his scheme, raised a pair of thin willow eyebrows, and looked at Liu Ju provocatively.
Liu Ju looked bitter: "Mother! That one...... That chess piece was given to me by Brother Yuan, I cherish it so much, just let me keep it, okay? ”
"Brother Yuan? That Brother Yuan? How I don't know. Mrs. Wei was slightly curious when she heard her son call so kindly.
"Brother Yuan is Brother Yuan of Fan Xue Building. Oh, it's the Fanxue Lou that paid tribute to the kind of tea that my father liked last time, and the delicious tea you said was the first to be made by Brother Yuan! ”
Speaking of Yuan Zhaolai, Liu Ju's eyes immediately lit up, and he looked adoring.
"Oh, really?" Mrs. Wei heard Xiao Ju'er talk about tea, and her heart moved, she was deeply impressed by this matter, and speaking of which, she was secretly grateful to the person who researched this kind of tea.
Just because the emperor gave the Empress Dowager Dou the new tea to her appetite and won the favor of this old ancestor, and the emperor pushed these credits to his favorite Mrs. Wei, from that day on, Mrs. Wei sensitively sensed that some of the stiff relationships in the harem had been loosened.
Not only did Changle Palace release a signal of goodwill, but even when she went to greet the Queen Mother, she also saw a rare smile. These all made this beautiful woman with a sensitive heart secretly happy.
Therefore, when he heard the name of Yuan Zhao from the mouth of his youngest son again, this peerless beauty, who was famous for her unparalleled dancing skills and finally collected the favor of the three thousand people of the Han Palace, couldn't help but be curious.
