Chapter 154: Three Men Upstairs
Jiangning's circle is actually not very large, regardless of the ups and downs of the merchant sea, there are only a few cloth merchants, and there are only a few silkworm merchants, although the cloth merchants have been trying to mix in the silk business, but some people who tried to do so later paid an extremely heavy price, so no one dared to do this again! After that, they naturally did it in their respective industries, and they were on the same chain, and for the same interests, some cloth merchants and silkworm merchants also united with each other. The Xue family and the He family are such an alliance.
Of course, there was naturally some unpleasantness between the two families in the previous turmoil, but it did not prevent the movement between the juniors of the two families, especially for the Xue family, the close relationship between Xue Lin and He Guangting was actually an extremely rare thing.
The He family is a descendant of He Guangting, and he will inherit the He family's industry in the future. This can be described as an opportunity for the Xue family to rise again.
Xue Lin and He Guangting themselves are also friends who have played together to the end, and they have a friendship of touching fish in the river with their bare butts, so they naturally know each other very well.
Like many merchant children, they have been thinking about Su Xiaoyan, the woman of the first cloth merchant in Jiangning, since they were children, in addition to the power that is revealed and hidden behind it, naturally because Su Xiaoyan is really a very good girl. Of course, when she grew up, when Su Xiaoyan came out to preside over the affairs of the Su family, many people who admired her had already put their minds away, and no one wanted to be pressed on the head by a woman, in other words, they were also afraid that Su Xiaoyan's ability was too strong and would eventually damage the interests of the family.
He Guangting knows his friend's mind very well, and he has also helped to do something over the years, of course, the harvest is naturally minimal, and the other party is not right-hearted to look at him as a friend, and there is really no way to work for a while.
To be honest, Xue Lin is not young anymore!
"You want to hear the truth? Or is it a lie? He Guangting furrowed his eyebrows, as if unwilling to answer the question.
Xue Lin said: "Tell the truth!"
"Hey......" He Guangting snorted, straightened up, and said helplessly: "You should know the truth yourself, that person really doesn't have that kind of mind for you, why are you persistent?"
After a pause, he looked at his friend's expression, sighed, and solemnly reminded: "Xue Lin, you are not the only one in your family, if you drag it like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult in the future."
Xue Lin knew the meaning of He Guangting's words, but he didn't care much: "If those people in the family can really keep their inheritance, I don't want to fight for this." Last year, I was studying outside, and I also planned to go to the imperial examination, but if it wasn't for the letter from home later, I'm afraid I would still be studying abroad at this time. ”
Speaking of this, Xue Lin had already retreated from the previous loss, and said with some nostalgia: "During that time, I walked through some places and saw some people, and I knew in my heart that the outside world was quite big, and I wanted to do something I liked for a while, so why should I be limited to this place in Jiangning?"
He Guangting nodded: "This heart is of course. It's just that you and I are a merchant family, it's not easy to really take that road, Shinong is a businessman, a businessman is the cheapest, and the court law is also very restrictive...... That's not a good way to go......"
Speaking of this, He Guangting smiled bitterly, and the tea in his mouth was more bitter for a while.
Xue Lin is probably in this mood too.
"Hey, Brother Xue, look, is that the owner of Yunji?" He Guangting realized the change in the atmosphere in the room and hurriedly changed the topic.
Xue Lin raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said helplessly: "That guy is elusive, you are wrong!"
The meaning of the words was that he didn't believe He Guangting's words at all.
He Guangting stood up, grabbed Xue Lin, and pointed at the man on the street: "Oh, isn't that?"
Xue Lin didn't care about He Guangting's indecent movements for a while, let the other party grab his hand, looked down from the window, and indeed saw that person.
"Yo, is that molesting a woman from a good family?" He Guangting sneered, as if he thought it was funny.
Xue Lin broke free from He Guangting's pull, straightened his clothes, left his seat and walked through the window, looking down: "I just said that the rumor can't be believed."
It sounds like a bit of a sigh of relief.
He Guangting sighed silently in his heart, unwilling to extinguish his friend's high fighting spirit with a basin of cold water, so he picked up the two teacups on the table and walked over there.
handed over a cup, he held his hands in front of his chest, held the teacup and blew carefully, perhaps because he was afraid that the tea would be too hot, and after a while, he spoke: "Do you want to tell that person?"
Xue Lin shook his head: "It's not a gentleman's doing."
He Guangting snorted: "I've become a villain."
But said that Wang Ning was stopped by the woman in front of him for a while, although there were not many people on the street, but it still attracted a lot of attention, he didn't think there was anything in the scene in front of the public, he was surrounded by everyone since he was a child, and when he grew up, he could be calm and calm in the face of this kind of scene.
It's just that for the young woman in front of him, he was a little embarrassed. What's even more embarrassing is that the woman stopped him and didn't speak well, but he just cried vigorously, and now his eyes were red.
Wang Ning was one head and two big, and he estimated that he would say something, and after thinking about it, he couldn't open his mouth in the end.
sighed in his heart, "The woman is really troublesome", and there is no follow-up.
Naturally, some people around noticed this scene, and some of them were already eager to try, if they didn't know that only those rich people would do this kind of thing in front of them, and behind them were forces that they couldn't afford to offend, I am afraid they would have rushed up.
"If you don't say it, I'll go." Wang Ning finally opened her mouth, trying to make her tone sound gentle.
The woman raised her eyes to look at him, perhaps afraid that he would leave, so she threw herself on him, hugged his waist, looked up at him, shook her head vigorously, and tears splashed in her eyes.
Wang Ning was embarrassed, tried a few times and couldn't break free, and said with a bitter face: "I don't know the girl in Xia, you did this to make people meet, how should you say me?" Although I don't care about fame, the girl should be self-respecting......"
The woman shook her head, and there were already people talking around her.
He Guangting, who was upstairs, laughed: "I'm afraid that the woman who played before came to the door...... Unexpectedly, he is this kind of man who abandons from the beginning. ”
Xue Lin ignored He Guangting's joke and pointed to the figure in the alley behind her: "That woman should be in trouble."
He Guangting looked over, and sure enough, there were two people discussing something over there, looking at the pair of men and women in the crowd from time to time.
"Even if you are in trouble, how can you find him when there are so many people on the street? Isn't he outstanding? He Guangting said sourly.
Xue Lin said: "The appearance of his old god, who doesn't think it's a fool when he sees it?" If it is a, how dare those people provoke? If it weren't for his identity, how could those people not dare to step forward? ”
Saying that, Xue Lin left from the window and walked downstairs, He Guangting took another look and followed.
Wang Ning noticed the two people who came down upstairs, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, it was good for anyone to see this appearance, but these two were always a little awkward when they saw it.
"Brother Wang is in a hurry!" Xue Lin greeted warmly and went over there, and He Guangting nodded and followed.
Seeing that two more rich men came over, the people gathered around still left.
Xue Lin never looked at the alley again, in fact, it was not in sight from below.
Wang Ning smiled bitterly: "Coincidentally, the two of you are here to drink tea?"
Xue Lin smiled: "Yes, but I never thought that I would be able to meet such a romantic side of Brother Wang."
Wang Ning was helpless and gave a look.
Xue Lin didn't plan to make fun anymore, and knew that this was not a place to talk, so she said: "The tea upstairs is just washed away, Brother Wang doesn't dislike it, why don't you go up and sit down?"
"I can't move an inch like this."
Xue Lin chuckled: "Take this girl with you."
As he spoke, he looked at the woman, who seemed to have recovered a little, and looked at Wang Ning again.
Wang Ning nodded: "It's okay."
The three of them had to go upstairs, and the woman took him by the sleeve and pressed her against him.
Naturally, some homely trivial things were talked about on the road, and although the two parties were opponents, they still maintained an absolute demeanor at this time.
"I heard that the marriage between Brother Wang and Miss Su has been decided, I don't know if it should be serious?" Xue Lin finally asked the question she was most concerned about.
