Chapter 213: Fighting Wife with Wisdom
Of course, this big deal, Qiao Mao is in charge of Qiao Feng. This weekday is dominated in shopping malls, and it can almost be said that Qiao Feng, who is calling for wind and rain in the shopping malls around Dongjun, is a little passive in front of this young man in his twenties. First, although this young man is young, his terrible is by no means clear in a few words, his ghostly martial arts, young and old wisdom, and the fierce generals under his command are like clouds, and he also has a powerful army, all of which make Qiao Feng have to restrain his usual lofty posture.
"General Ma, you and I are almost family. You even call me uncle, I don't think I need to speak a foreign language. This big purchase, my family has long been preparing when they learned that General Ma was gathering huge amounts of grain, but the amount of silver taels involved is too large, you see that I am also old, and it is inevitable that I will be a little procrastinating. And the meaning of the clan elder is also to take the lead for General Ma, the future son-in-law, and do his best, and there is no intention to take advantage of General Ma in the slightest. After Qiao Feng sat down, he held his beard, worthy of being a master of the shopping mall for many years, and if Ma Zongheng refused to correct his attitude, it would be rude.
Ma Zongheng listened, but his heart was hot, he didn't believe Qiao Feng's other words, but Qiao Xuan's kindness, Ma Zongheng thought it was true.
"Hehe, what did Uncle Qiao say. However, the price is too low for you, you see that so many soldiers and soldiers under my command have to be raised, and the price of grain and the expenditure of grain stacks for each of the people alone are nearly 100,000 taels of silver. I am also about to rely on this transaction to fill this vacancy and military spending, and I am really a little powerless. Ma Zongheng smiled lovely, and said helplessly, but he spoke unhurriedly.
"This!" When Qiao Feng heard this, he couldn't help frowning, after all, since Ma Zongheng took over Changyuan, the displaced people and people in Dongjun, including the neighboring counties, have improved their lives a lot with his relief, and it can even be said that it is because of Ma Zongheng that many people have been able to survive this turbulent situation. Qiao Feng, who has studied Confucianism since he was a child, also admires it from the bottom of his heart. And the original meaning of the Qiao family this time was to use the marriage of the two families to buy huge grains from Ma Zongheng at a slightly lower price to make a fortune, which can be described as ill-intentioned. Of course, if their bridge family could come and buy it before Cao Cao and Ma Zongheng completed their first big deal, the situation would be very different.
Thinking of this, Qiao Feng couldn't help but sigh secretly, admiring Qiao Xuan's foresight, but also regretting it. At the beginning, Qiao Mao was discussing with him, and from the position of a businessman, Qiao Feng naturally waited and watched for a while, after all, the amount of silver involved at that time was too large. But he didn't expect that with this hesitation, the whole situation would change dramatically!
"No wonder the clan elder said that I lack decisiveness and ambition in doing things, at most I can only be a businessman who runs around for petty profits, and it is difficult to inherit the Qiao family's business! I was not convinced at the time, but now it seems that the clan elders still have a unique vision. ”
"I don't want to embarrass Uncle Bridge, why don't you and I make a bet?" Suddenly, Ma Zongheng smiled and asked. Qiao Feng, who came back to his senses again, had a much clearer look in his eyes, and it seemed that his whole person had changed a lot.
"General Ma, please say, no matter what, I hope it won't hurt your relationship with my bridge family." Qiao Feng said in a deep voice. Ma Zongheng listened, and when he saw the sincere expression on Qiao Feng's face, he couldn't help but feel a little good, so he smiled and said: "But if the war ahead is successful, the princes and families from all over the country will flock to Changyuan to buy grain. No, I'll make a bet with you. If within ten days, the news of the victory at the front has not yet come, I will sell you 120,000 taels at the price of 45 taels per 50 quintals, as you said. Otherwise, I will only sell you 60,000 quintals, and of course the price will be the same as before. ”
When Qiao Feng heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he knew that as long as the news of the victory on the front line, the price of grain would not be doubled, but at least the price would rise to eight taels per fifty quintals. When Qiao Feng came, he also deliberately went to the vicinity of the military camp with his subordinates to take a look, and when he found that many of Ma Zongheng's troops were even far superior to Puyang's army, and the new army team was at least the quality of Puyang's army. From that moment on, Qiao Feng understood why Ma Zongheng was able to make this earth-shattering deal so surely! Because he is not afraid of Fan Hou at all, and he has the strength to protect Changyuan's huge grain. At the same time, I have to say that his vision is also extremely terrifying, because he just saw that Dong Zhuo and the princes of various places did not dare to raise troops and horses in this sensitive period, so this big deal could be done!
This is said to be simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult to operate, in addition to courage, you also need to have this capital!
Qiao Feng secretly synthesized this situation, so it sounded like this, no matter what, he would make a profit or a loss. Looking at Ma Zongheng's confident appearance, Qiao Feng was shocked, and thanked him: "General Ma is righteous, this good intention, the Qiao family has written it down." ”
Qiao Feng is not stupid, not only eloquent, but also very spicy, he believes that Ma Zongheng has already seen that the Qiao family is here with the idea of taking advantage, the reason why he did not debunk it is probably because of Qiao Mao's recommendation in the past, and Qiao Xuan's appreciation of him.
Now, the mind of repaying grievances with virtue is even more admired by Qiao Feng.
Ma Zongheng listened and smiled: "Uncle Qiao is polite." Business is business, after all, Miss Qiao Wan and I have a marriage contract, and after getting married, I am also half of the Qiao family, which is naturally to help each other and win wealth and glory together, which can be described as a win-win situation. ”
When Qiao Feng heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head, smiled bitterly, and groaned: "No wonder the clan elder appreciates you so much, just with your words, even if you can't be a warlord, at least you can be a wealthy businessman." ”
Ma Zongheng's words are very skillful and reasonable, and it is easy to win the favor of others. With such eloquence, Qiao Feng asked himself if he really didn't have it.
At that time, the bridge was praised. By the way, not long ago, someone sent me a gift, and there is a pair of pear blossom golden phoenix pianos that are particularly exquisite, and I was about to give them to Miss Qiao Wan. In addition, there is a Yue Nu sword that is as sharp as clay, and I also want to give it to Miss Qiao Ying. In the past few days, I can't get out of the way, I wonder if Uncle Qiao can transfer it to the two young ladies for me? Ma Zonghengying smiled. When Qiao Feng heard this, he was slightly stunned, and said secretly: "Qiao Wan is good at the qin, Qiao Ying is good at the sword, and this Ma Zongheng also understands the two of them." And Qiao Wan has always loved Qiao Ying, but Qiao Ying doesn't like it, and she also knows to prepare a good gift for her. With such a careful and capable man, Qiao Wan is blessed to marry him. ”
As soon as his thoughts turned, Qiao Feng smiled and said, "Then I will thank General Ma for my two nieces." ”
"You're welcome, you're welcome." After Ma Zongheng smiled faintly, he asked people to pack all the pianos and swords, and when Qiao Feng returned, they were sent to Qiao Feng's mansion. The Qiao family's family business is all over the East County, and they also have purchased mansions in Changyuan.
After the order, the two talked for a while. Qiao Feng saw that it was not early, so as not to disturb, so he just got up and retreated. At this time, a handmaid with a rather beautiful appearance suddenly came in a hurry and whispered a few words in Ma Zongheng's ear. Ma Zongheng, who was personable and unruly just now, suddenly changed color, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Qiao Feng and said, "Uncle Qiao, I have some urgent matters, so I won't send them away." ”
After that, Ma Zongheng didn't wait for Qiao Feng to agree, and left in a hurry.
"Oh, good." Qiao Feng replied, but Ma Zongheng had long since disappeared, and he couldn't help but be suspicious, thinking about such a character, what was the big thing that made him so flustered?
"Yinhuan, Madame is not very good on weekdays, why do you suddenly have pain in your abdomen!?" But seeing that Ma Zongheng, who was walking in the corridor of the backyard, was so anxious that he was in a cold sweat and asked anxiously.
The old man was angry, and Yinhuan didn't know, Mrs. was fine just now, but her face suddenly changed greatly, and she only said that she had severe pain in her abdomen. Yinhuan saw that his wife's whole face had changed, and he was so frightened that he had no master, so he had to rush to find the master. The silver ring is not well served, the lord forgives the sin! "Not long ago, the first family of Shanyang sent dozens of maidservants, all of whom were fifteen or sixteen years old, and this handmaid named Yinhuan was one of them, because she was not only beautiful, but also well-behaved, so she was selected by Wang Ying to be her personal maid. At this time, Yinhuan was so frightened that the pear blossom brought rain, and he was busy kneeling. Ma Zongheng grabbed her hand and said, "This has nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself." Go and call the doctor for me, and I'll take care of it, madame!" ”
Yinhuan saw that the horse was looking at the horse, how dare he disobey, and he hurriedly ran away.
"God, although Lao Tzu has messed up your original track and messed up some history, I also try my best to do good deeds to make amends, for the sake of me saving a lot of lives, don't hurt their mother and son, bless me a lot!" The so-called concern is chaotic, Ma Zongheng's mind is in chaos at this time, he has never believed in gods and ghosts, and he actually begged God to bless him.
Ma Zongheng thought about it, and even stepped up, and soon came to the bedroom, and as soon as he opened the door, he rushed in.
"Ying'er~!!" The horse screamed. saw Wang Ying sitting on the bed, with a cold and arrogant face. At this time, Wang Ying saw that Ma Zongheng was sweating profusely, and his face rarely showed an extremely flustered look, and the cold color on his face faded a little, and said: "Even if you have a little conscience, you still know that you are worried about our mother and son." ”
Ma Zongheng hurriedly walked to Wang Ying's side and sat down, grabbed her hand, and said: "Ying'er, what's wrong with you, Yinhuan said just now that your abdominal pain is unbearable, but there is something unexpected in your body, you lie down quickly, I have taught Yinhuan to call the doctor to come and treat you." ”
After that, Ma Zongheng stretched out his hand to help Wang Ying lie down, but Wang Yingdai frowned and said coldly: "Don't touch me!" ”
Ma Zongheng was startled, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and said with a pleading face: "My little aunt, what are you worried about, you are vindictive, don't hurt your body." ”
"Hmph, I don't dare. My family is romantic, merciful everywhere, and I only got married to the eldest lady of the bridge family not long ago, but even the little sister of the other family is also concerned. A few days ago, I took a fancy to the Yue Nu sword in the treasure house, and saw that its quality was very good, so I wanted to use it. I didn't know that Wei Fei was so stubborn that he didn't let me take it. Later, I realized that I was not reasonable enough, and it turned out that my father-in-law instructed me to give this thing to the beauty! ”
Sure enough, there is not a single woman who is not jealous. Since she is pregnant, she will also be particularly sensitive. Listening to Wang Ying's strong vinegar taste, Ma Zongheng couldn't help but secretly complain, and said with a smile: "I see, Madame, although I gave this thing to Qiao Feng just now, as long as Madam likes it, I will send someone to retrieve it, and I will find some treasures and treasures to replace it in a few days!" ”
"Really?" When Wang Ying heard this, most of the jealousy on her face suddenly faded, revealing a little joy, she smiled brightly, her eyes flowed, shimmering, and bloomed like an epiphany in an instant, extremely beautiful.
"If Madam doesn't believe me, I'll fetch it for you myself!" Ma Zongheng's eyes were clear, his face was sincere, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he got up immediately and made a gesture to leave.
