Chapter 329 Curiosity kills the cat
The fifth Ling Ruo, who has always been disdainful of men and even a little morbid and hateful, suddenly became inexplicably interested in Li Yu, and actually called him to his room in broad daylight with bad intentions, Li Yu was loyal and disobedient, so she ordered the four corner fighting masters to catch Li Yu, and wanted to come to a bully to make a bow.
The above news, originally written by Li Bohao, edited by Li Zhongxuan, and the two brothers were jointly responsible for publicizing it, and it soon spread in the West Market.
In fact, many people don't know that there are four beams and eight pillars in the West Market, which is a structure that only some upper-level people in the industry know, and even these upper-level people, many of them don't know the fifth-level Ling Ruo and Yang Siqi, who are relatively low-key high-level.
However, this does not affect the vigorous spread of this kind of news, after all, the news stained with pink lace is always the joy of the broad masses of the people. And this time the drama is actually a woman to a man, this novel character design makes this "unspoken rules of the office" even more refreshing.
The news spread throughout the city through the mouths of merchants and customers in the West Market, and at this time this story actually had nothing to do with the story of Li Yu and the fifth Ling Ruo.
If the original story was only played on the basis of misunderstanding, now the content of this story and the protagonist of the story ensure that when they themselves arrive, they will not feel that there is any plot in this story that alludes to them.
No one can determine what kind of story will be formed by the enthusiastic participation and collective creation of the broad masses of the people.
However, fortunately, Chang Jiannan lives in the West City, and he is like a giant spider that has a web in the West City, even if this giant spider is about to die soon, its ears and eyes are as clear, and its hands and feet are still strong and powerful. Therefore, Chang Jiannan heard a version that was closer to the original work.
At this time, it was the second day after the news came out of the two brothers, Li Bohao and Li Zhongxuan.
The reason why this news is lagging behind is because it involves the current three-in-command of the West Market. Those who serve the four pillars have all become fine, and it is their consistent way of being cautious in words and deeds and not leaving a handle to speak, who will chew this tongue with others?
What's more, among the four major beams, although the fifth Ling is the most low-key one, it is almost unknown to the outside world. Even if some people know that she exists, most of them position her as Chang Jiannan's big account, just like the accounts around those big beams and pillars, but the people who are "upstairs and upstairs" know very well how ruthless she is.
Among the people who are now serving on the third floor, the oldest ones have heard their old-timers say that because of the beauty of the fifth Ling Ruo, there were once some people who took her as the goal after tea and dinner. As a result, these people have all ended badly! It's miserable! It's really miserable......
When those seniors usually said this, their faces were already pale, and their eyes showed a frightened light, and they refused to say any more. So, the story that those officials know now ends here, they still don't know what those predecessors have experienced, although the history is not very long, at most it is only ten years ago.
All they know is that the fate of those people is miserable, miserable, very miserable. This was enough to make them maintain enough awe for the Fifth Ling Ruo. The clerks upstairs were updated in large numbers almost every one and a half years or at most, so that later people didn't even know about it.
They had just arrived "upstairs" to do their work, and they found that their seniors had a heartfelt sense of awe for Fifth Ling Ruo, so this sense of awe was passed on to them like the genetic genes of living beings. So for the fifth Ling Ruo, they didn't even dare to mention his name.
Therefore, Chang Jiannan was the one who heard the news late. Chang Jiannan was also very curious when he heard the news, although his stubborn illness was about to attack, he was already a person who counted the days and lived his life, and he still inevitably became curious.
He didn't believe that Fifth Ling Ruo would become a nymphomaniac, so ......
Could it be that this is the first time she has seen Li Yu? And Li Yu is her lover? No way! The age is not right, ten years ago, Li Yu was only ten years old, how could the fifth Ling Ruo like a little boy who didn't have any hair, she was not in love. Childishness.
Could it be that Li Yu and her lover are extremely cool? This is the closest thing to the right answer. However, even if Li Yu looks very much like her lover, she can hate him, but she can also feel very kind, so she can't wait to pick people's clothes as soon as they meet, right?
Chang Jiannan was very curious, really curious, but as the boss who has always been high, how could he lower his price to inquire about this kind of pure gossip? He had to hold it in order to keep the city of the superior one, which was a price that the superior had to pay.
There are some mass entertainments that they are not blessed to participate in.
Of course, the entertainment they can enjoy, the public is not able to enjoy.
Because, there is no such condition.
For example, at this moment, Chang Jiannan was actually dealing with official business, and he just listened to the lace news about the fifth Ling Ruo, and his attention quickly focused on his work.
On his desk, there are three kinds of paper with different textures: mulberry paper, bamboo paper, and parchment paper.
Each paper with a different texture means something different.
Mulberry hemp paper is destroyed after reading, bamboo paper is short-lived, and parchment paper is long-term archiving.
As for the ...... of its importance, in fact, there is no one that can be sent to Chang Boss in the form of paper for him to read, but of course, none of them are imminent. The really imminent news will be reported to him in person.
Among these important news, the news that was burned immediately after reading is not necessarily the most important, but it is obviously the most important one, but it obviously has the highest requirement for confidentiality.
Chang Jiannan picked up the bamboo paper first, it looked small and thin, but it was a long fold when it was unfolded.
Chang Jiannan only looked at a few lines before frowning slightly.
This was an investigation made by his subordinates on the two brothers Li Bohao and Li Zhongxuan in accordance with his orders.
A father who is about to reach the end of his life, a pair of daughters who are like flowers and jade, how can a father not worry about his own aftermath and not care about their future belonging? As soon as Li Bohao and Li Zhongxuan entered the West Market Bureau, they entered his sight, and Chang Jiannan immediately paid attention to them.
In fact, for Chang Jiannan, it is not difficult to find a good son and wife for a pair of beloved daughters. The difficult thing is that he has two daughters, and in the future, will the two sons-in-law be able to love each other and be close to each other as the two daughters are now, and share power and wealth?
If they have different hearts for each other, will their twin daughters also be affected by it and eventually turn against each other? When I thought that one day the two sisters would turn against each other, Chang Jiannan, who had killed people all his life, felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Therefore, in the will he made, he revealed to his daughters the secret that he was their biological father, and in the name of his father, he set up the only rule: a good day and a beautiful scenery, a husband is allowed!
In fact, in the heart of Chang Jiannan, who is proud of himself, he does not think that this is a husband shared by two daughters, but that two daughters share a husband, this man is actually going to be rich, his role is only to inherit the Chang family, not to teach his pair of baby daughters to be desolate, and to avoid the two sisters from being emotional, that's all.
But the appearance of the two brothers, Li Bohao and Li Zhongxuan, gave him another possibility.
However, when he saw this information, he was disappointed.
It is easy for him to find two brothers, and it is easy to find twin brothers, but if the family is higher than him, he will not covet the wealth he left to a pair of precious daughters, and it is especially difficult to find such brothers who are not married.
The Li family in Longxi is undoubtedly a good match. But in Chang Jiannan's thoughts, it had to be the side branch of the Li family. However, the results of the investigation showed that the two brothers were actually the descendants of the Li clan in Longxi, so there was no need to consider it.
Because, high can't be, low can't be. This is a high failure.
How noble the gate valve family is now, do you know it? Even if Emperor Li Shimin wants to marry his daughter and be a daughter-in-law in the past, he has to be careful with a smiling face, for fear that people will dislike your bloodline is not pure enough and your family background is not long enough......
In the history of the Tang Dynasty, there are even many prime ministers who have become extremely popular ministers, and they can't be promoted, so they put their goal in life on being able to climb relatives with the Gaomen surname, and even some people die because they have not climbed relatives with the seven clans and five surnames until they die.
Let's ask, in such a situation, people are picky and selective about the royal family, how can Chang Jiannan be qualified to climb relatives with others, don't think about it, even if she is a concubine for others, she has to obediently come to the door to give birth to children and wait for her husband, how can she allow them to be free in the West Market.
Chang Jiannan only looked at the pedigree, and it was indeed a descendant of the Li clan in Longxi, so he didn't look any further, he sighed silently, and threw the paper into the red clay furnace.
Afterwards, he picked up the mulberry hemp paper that represented the burning after reading.
There were no words on the mulberry linen paper, only one picture was drawn.
The paper is very thin, the light shines through the paper, reflected from the back, you can see that there are just a few very simple clues on the top, but the painting is clumsy, the pen is not skillful, some places have deep lines, some places have shallow lines, you can't see what it is, faintly, like two fish. Looking at the painter who looked like a naughty boy, Chang Jiannan smiled: "This guy has been in the army since he was a child, he doesn't know a single big character, he drew such a bullshit thing, and he also told me to burn it immediately after reading it, I just posted it, who can understand what it means?" ”
Saying that, Chang Jiannan still picked up the painting with two fingers and threw it into the stove.
************
Zhang Eryu, the lord of the East City.
Compared with Wang Changjiannan in the west market, the east city is much more stable.
After all, the East Market is not that big, and there are not so many forces in the rivers and lakes, and the East Market specializes in high-end luxury goods. The people who set up shops here also have a lot of backgrounds and backgrounds.
For example, many people in the royal family, and even relatives of the royal family, will use their housekeeper status to open a shop here and make some profits to supplement their families.
How can this kind of place tolerate restless forces in the rivers and lakes to fight and kill?
Therefore, Zhang Eryu married the daughter of the former mayor of the East City Bureau, became the son-in-law of the mayor of the East City Bureau, and later took over his class step by step and became the lord of the East City.
He didn't need to be as cautious as Chang Jiannan and deal with so many layers of trouble. Because those people in the royal family, relatives of the royal family, and powerful families did not allow their property to be in such a turbulent environment, he was very idle.
If the East Market and the West Market are compared to two bays, then the West Market is Muddy Waters Bay. The water is muddy, there are many fish, shrimp, and many vicious catfish.
In the East Market, the clear water ripples, the hibiscus blossoms, and at most some palm-sized silver carp with shiny scales leisurely spit bubbles under the lotus leaves, playing in life.
Therefore, Zhang Eryu, who was a general under Princess Pingyang, has lived a very peaceful life over the years. has a wife, secretly raised two concubines, and from time to time went to Pingkangfang to secretly fish, raised three children, two sons and a daughter, lived a comfortable life, and gradually became rich.
The sturdy man who was fascinated by the goddess of the former king of Dongshi is now like a Buddha, a Buddha with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, fat head and big ears.
He now has a nickname, "Old Buddha!" ”
Lao Buddha looked at the God of Wealth sitting in front of him with a smile: "Brother Qiao, you and I live in the same city, although we are close at hand and have been famous for a long time, but the number of times we have seen them is only a handful." ”
Qiao Xiangrong looked at Zhang Eryu vigilantly: "But I don't know what the old Buddha is calling, so what's the matter?" Qiao, but the people of the West City, our East and West Cities, have always been well water and river water......"
Zhang Eryu interrupted him: "But you're still here, aren't you?" ”
Qiao Xiangrong was silent for a moment, and said frankly: "Not bad! Because, I ......"
"You're curious! You don't know why I'm looking for you, and you're worried about missing some important news, so you still came quietly and didn't tell you Boss Wang Chang of Xishi. ”
Zhang Eryu hit the nail on the head, Qiao Xiangrong's old face couldn't help but turn red, and he said calmly: "That's right!" I am indeed curious, what can the old Buddha invite? I believe that Lao Buddha will not be idle and bored, and talk to Qiao about some small things that are not salty or light. ”
"Of course! When I look for you, there will be earth-shattering things to discuss, you should understand this! ”
Zhang Eryu picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and asked with a smile: "What do you think of my East Market?" ”
"Rich and prosperous!"
"But it's not as colorful as the West Market, and the wealth and power are much worse!"
Zhang Lao Fo had a stupid face, and his fat face drooped down a little: "I always feel that I am just a big housekeeper stationed in the West City by the children of the major clans, the relatives of the emperor, and the powerful and nobles, once, I was a member of the battlefield of a hundred battles, you look at me now......"
Zhang Laofo patted his big belly: "Life has lost its dreams and pursuits, and this is how it ends." ”
With this beat, even his chest and belly rippled.
Qiao Xiangrong wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help it, but the lines of his lips still quietly rose up.
"I'm tired of days like this......"
Zhang Laofo's eyes were a little stunned and a little longing: "I want to do something, and I think about it quietly!" ”
Qiao Caishen frowned, and said cautiously: "Lao Buddha wants to do things, why did he find Qiao?" ”
Zhang Eryu glanced at him, smiled mysteriously, and leaned forward slightly.
Usually at this time, it is the time when the villain confides in the big secret, so Qiao Xiangrong is very cooperative.
Zhang Eryu said softly: "Do you know, Liangchen Meijing, who is Chang Boss?" ”
