Chapter 219: Limelight

In the west of Chang'an City, the chariots, horses and horses, and pedestrians bow and arrow are at their waists. Even Jiang Fei didn't expect that when she set off, the team would be so huge; The new Gaochang County Kai Cao Shen Military Yuan Renhui and Yuwen Hu all walked with her.

Yuan Renhui is the son of Wuling County Yuan Zhou, and Yuan Zhou was removed from his official name because of his dealings with Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, during the time of Emperor Wen; After Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, Yuan Zhou could not be transferred, and finally because of the exile of the official government in the history of Cizhou's assassination of Lingnan, he was betrayed by his friend Qiu He and ended up killed. This time I came to Gaochang County, or Yuan Shou helped, otherwise Yuan Renhui would still be idle at home; Yuan Renhui is the eldest son of the Yuan Zhou branch, even if he is a petty official of the eighth grade, the retinue sent by the clan has reached as many as 100 people, and there are six carriages alone.

Jiang Fei himself is also six carriages, and the great Confucian Liu Zhuo took the initiative to ask to go along, plus Jiang Fei's younger sister Hao Ting, Miao Yun and other members of the Yang Mansion; The guards were thirty guards led by Wei Chi Li, Wei Chi Chong, Wei Chi Xiao, Tie Di, and Miao Kuangshan. Luo Shixin and other 20 students led by Mao Wei each had a horse, and a carriage was specially reserved for the students to take turns to rest when they were tired on the road.

The more than 50 people accompanying Yuwenhu are all vigorous people, who should be the elite of Yuwenkai's subordinates, this time they received a letter from Yuwenkai to go to Gaochang County to protect Yuwen Rutong, and when they heard that Jiang Fei was leaving, they specially postponed the date and only brought a carriage to transport the goods. Changfeng Carriage Company specially arranged a caravan of more than 60 people to accompany him, not only to lead the way for Jiang Fei and his party, but also to transport the goods of the carriage by the way, and take care of each other.

Yuan Renhui's attitude is very correct, Jiang Fei is the wife of the top boss, and it is necessary to tie the knot, Jiang Fei is still saying goodbye to Meng Kunpeng, Zhou Qian and others, and Yuan Renhui has already taken the people of the Yuan family to the forefront. Yuwenhu and the other convoys all set off, and then led people to press the formation at the end and slowly let the horses go.

Unexpectedly, on the way back to the city, Yuan Hongzhao hurried over, and when he saw Meng Kunpeng, he said: "Oh no, Yuan Raider mixed in Yuan Renhui's team and went to Gaochang." She asked her personal maid Qingyan to send a letter to the old disabled man in the morning, saying that she would go to the Western Regions to play, and by the way to attend the wedding of Yang Chong and Jiang Fei, the cowboy workshop was handed over to Miao Aimei, and the design was handed over to Qingyan and the two painters she invited. ”

Miao Aimei is Miao Yun's daughter, it turned out to be Jiang Fei's assistant, his brother Miao Kuangshan went to Gaochang to join the army this time, and Jiang Fei arranged for Miao Aimei to temporarily manage the cowboy shop. Duhu Hong followed Duhu Yu's carriage first, Zhou Ru was so angry that he smoked, Zhou Qian grabbed his daughter's wrist, and listened to Meng Kunpeng say: "That's it, Yuan Xianren didn't even bring Qing Yan, and they couldn't stop him from coming back, just see what Jiang Fei said after meeting her, just do what you should be busy with." ”

After Jiang Fei left, Meng Kunpeng was the person in charge of the Yang Mansion in Chang'an, and as soon as he said this, everyone dispersed; Only Zhou Ru was still angry, Zhou Qian and the three brothers took a look, shook their heads and took Zhou Ru home. The three of them entered the study, Zhou Ru's anger had not subsided, and Zhou Qian said slowly: "Do you feel that the limelight was attacked by Yuan, and you are very aggrieved in your heart." ”

Zhou Ru's eyes were red and said, "Who in Chang'an City doesn't know that you have the heart to let me be a concubine for Yang Chong." ”

Zhou Qian was speechless for a moment, at that time, in order to avoid the prying eyes of King Qi's subordinates on Zhou Ru, he did ask Jiao Jun to propose marriage to Yang Chong; Wednesday smiled reluctantly and said, "Girl, this time and that time." Originally, in Chang'an, we were Yang Chong's best partners, even if it was for the sake of your father's face, Yang Chong and Jiang Fei would not refuse; But now, the friendship between the two of us has ended, and Jiang Fei gave you the shares for nothing this time, which is a kind of settlement, so Yuan Xiancai went to Gaochang regardless of it. But she can go, you can't. ”

"The friendship is over." People who can be bankers are not stupid, Zhou Ru immediately heard the meaning of Wednesday's words, and said unconvinced: "Why can't I, she is a young lady from a big family, and I am a wild girl." ”

Wednesday pondered and said: "Girl, don't be unconvinced, several powerful people led by the Yuan family established the Changfeng Commercial Bank in Gaochang, which is known as the three major trading houses in the Western Regions together with Yang Chong's Turpan Commercial Bank and Yang Yichen's Qinghai Fang. If Yang Chong wants to gain a foothold in the Western Regions, he must rely on the Changfeng Trading House to continuously deliver food to him, so the Yuan family is very important to Yang Chong now; Meng Kunpeng did not arrange for anyone to chase him, because he expected that Jiang Fei would definitely agree to Yuan raiding people to go to Gaochang. And we, because of the glass workshop, it is difficult to have a relationship with Yang Chong. ”

Zhou Ru knew these things, and while Zhou Qian's brother was cultivating her, he didn't hide many things from him; At first, it was his father Zhou Qian who leaked the secret of Yang Chong's glass, and finally his uncle Zhou Zhou Zhen came forward, and Yang Chong did not quit the glass workshop for a penny. Although the Xiao family and other wealthy families are behind it, everyone knows that Yang Chong has sold the face of the Zhou family brothers; Wednesday Zhen estimated that the annual profit of the glass workshop is around 80,000 yuan, and if Yang Chong operates, more than 100,000 yuan will definitely not be a problem.

The three of them fell into silence, Zhou Qian sat on the chair for a long time, and said weakly: "That girl of the Yuan family is amazing, I thought it was Yuan Shou or Yuan Min who came up with the idea of partnering with Yang Chong to do business, but now I think it was this girl's own idea." Ru'er, don't look at you as shrewd, if you talk about vision and ideas, you are still not as good as Jiang Fei and Yuan Xianren. ”

Jiang Fei saw Yuan Raider, and sure enough, he didn't drive Yuan Raider back, but let Yuan Raider get into his carriage, and together with Hao Ting, the three of them talked and laughed. Yuan Renhui heard the report of his subordinates, and immediately put his heart at ease, his own clan sister is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows, no wonder the older generation of people muttered behind their backs, saying that Yuan Xianren is the second ghost Ni Yuanhui.

Liu Zhuo and Miao Yun shook their heads and laughed when they heard it in the carriage, and Liu Zhuo joked: "Yang Chong is not a romantic talent, but he is young and in a high position, and debts are indispensable. ”

"People are not romantic." Miao Yun responded and asked, "Liu Lao is willing to go to Gaochang County this time, but I didn't expect it, otherwise there would be no one to chat with on the road." ”

Liu Zhuo laughed and said, "I want to see Yang Chong's last killing move." ”

In anyone's eyes, Yang Chong, the county guard, is uncomfortable, but Yang Chong behaves like a veteran of officialdom, and there is no obvious failure so far, which is amazing. In the eyes of ordinary people, the expansion of Gaochang County is the expansion of Yang Chong's power, but in the eyes of those who care, it is a burden thrown to Yang Chong; The investment in food and management will make Gaochang County's finances even more strained.

The reason why Li Yuan was transferred away is not a secret at the top level, that is, because Yiwu County occupies a favorable time and place, and is closest to the Central Plains, and has always asked the imperial court for blood transfusions, and the county said that there is no money to buy grain. This is to compete for resources with the conquest of Goguryeo, so Yang Guang's choice is to replace; If Yang Chong's financial support cannot be met, Emperor Yang of Sui will also be replaced. The imperial court sent so many eyeliners, Yang Chong had no room for fraud, and even forcibly apportioned them would be accused to the center.

Miao Yun believed, like Liu Zhuo, that Yang Chong must still have the means to change the situation, and Liu Zhuo's words were just exaggerations.
