Chapter 258: The Transformation Goes Faster
The door of Zhuo's Mansion, which had been closed for half a year, squeaked open. [Ran^Text^Library] Several guests who were sitting in the Cuixiang Building opposite to eat wine turned their heads one after another. Since Cuixiang Building opened here, the gate of Zhuo's Mansion has been closed, and even if Taishou comes, he has to go through the back door. Suddenly, it was opened, and these diners were baffled.
Zhuo Wenjun wiped his hands on his apron, and hurriedly called Dong Qian: "Sister, you go to the barracks immediately, ask my husband to come back, my father is coming!" ”
Dong Qian was so smart, she knew that there must be something big when she saw this posture, so she agreed, turned around and walked out the door.
Zhuo Wangsun shook his robe and came out of the house with his legs raised. First looked left and right at the housekeepers standing on both sides of the gate, pouted, and raised his feet on the road in front of the house. He didn't stop, crossed the main road, and went straight to the Cuixiang Building opposite. It's just a person, not wearing any particularly formal clothes, and his face is also very good, with a faint smile, and greeting the stunned diners.
"Father, you're here!" Zhuo Wenjun hurriedly came over and bowed down.
Zhuo Wangsun grabbed his daughter. For half a year, Zhuo Wenjun has been staying in this wine shop, no matter the wind or rain, she has taken care of this wine shop conscientiously, and the people in the whole alley know this second lady of Zhuo Mansion, they will come here to sit no matter what they have to do, even if they want the cheapest water wine in the corner, Zhuo Wenjun is smiling.
In half a year, Zhuo Wenjun has long since changed from a rich lady who does not touch the water with ten fingers to a wonderful person in the wind and sun, although the appearance is still pretty, the skin is still tender, and the smile is still so bright, but the perennial work can still see some doorways, and the meat cocoons in the hands have been ground out a lot.
Zhuo Wangsun was a little moved, and touched his daughter's face: "You have lost weight!" ”
Zhuo Wenjun smiled slightly: "Father, don't be too tired, you are old, and it is not good for your health to be so tired, if you have anything in the future, you will leave it to the younger brother, if you can come to me to sit here in your spare time, I will get my father some wine and food!" ”
Zhuo Wangsun nodded: "Okay, it's better to be a daughter!" ”
An elderly man next to him came over with a bowl of water and wine, and handed it to Zhuo Wangsun with a smile: "Zhuo shopkeeper, the second lady has taken good care of us in the past six months, she often comes here for the old man, it is not easy to look at this child, this time the shopkeeper Zhuo can come over, it means that the second lady has been forgiven, how can the father and daughter have any deep hatred, and it will still be a family in the future, come, the old lady respects Zhuo's shopkeeper for a cup, and I wish Zhuo's shopkeeper a harmonious family!" ”
Zhuo Wangsun took the water and wine with a smile, whether it was good or bad, he raised his neck and drank it, and there was not a drop left in the drink: "Thank you old man, Zhuo Wangsun has written it down!" ”
The people in the liquor store applauded. The world respects filial piety, not to mention a businessman's family, even His Majesty the Emperor also emphasizes filial piety, otherwise the Empress Dowager would not dare to blatantly control the government, all because His Majesty is the grandson of the Empress Dowager, and in terms of filial piety, he is two generations older than the emperor. Even if you are the Son of Heaven and the emperor of the world, you have to kowtow and kneel when you see the Queen Mother.
The sudden reconciliation of Zhuo Wangsun and Zhuo Wenjun's father and daughter did not have any warning. Others may think that they don't know how many confrontations and negotiations have gone through in between, but the housekeeper of Zhuo Mansion understands that this matter is completely the whim of Zhuo Wangsun.
Hiding in the gate of Zhuo's house, the housekeeper looked at the wine shop across the street, quite confused, he didn't understand what was wrong with Zhuo Wangsun at all? He was the one who was going to close the door half a year ago, and he was almost angry, and he was the one who was going to open the door half a year later. As if the whole thing had never happened, the door of the Zhuo Mansion was never closed, and the second lady of the Zhuo family married Sima Xiangru, who opened a wine shop opposite.
A fast horse rushed over, with a great pace and a very fast run. Sima Xiangru was sweating profusely, he couldn't guess what Zhuo Wangsun was doing, and suddenly it didn't make sense to reconcile with his daughter. After receiving Dong Qian's news, Sima Xiangru came on horseback, and when he came, he thought all the way, but there was no result at all, and he didn't know what Zhuo Wangsun was going to do.
Walking into the door, those who were sitting in the wine shop and eating wine hurriedly got up, and Sima Xiangru thanked him politely. Hearing the movement outside, Zhuo Wenjun walked out of the room, Sima Xiangru confessed to everyone and walked towards Zhuo Wenjun.
Standing at the door of the inner room, Sima Xiangru straightened his clothes, and the new son-in-law couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw his father-in-law.
Zhuo Wangsun was sitting at the table eating wine, and there were two wine glasses on the table, facing each other, obviously reserved for Sima Xiangru.
Glancing at Sima Xiangru, Zhuo Wangsun nodded: "Sit down!" ”
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Zhuo Wangsun took a deep breath: "Okay, since you are called so, I will admit it, from now on we will be a family, sit down!" ”
Sima Xiangru thanked him again and sat opposite Zhuo Wangsun in a regular manner. Weng and his son-in-law didn't speak, and Zhuo Wenjun filled Sima Xiangru's wine glass with wine and gave Sima Xiangru a look. Sima Xiangru hurriedly picked up his glass: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law respects you, thank you for forgiving me for my recklessness, and my son-in-law promises that I will be wholeheartedly devoted to Wenjun in the future and will never let it down!" ”
Zhuo Wangsun glanced at Zhuo Wenjun and smiled: "It is indeed not easy for the two of you to get to this point, such tricks can be made, I believe that you treat each other sincerely, this daughter is my favorite one, tomorrow I will prepare a set of dowry, and send my daughter to your house in a beautiful manner, you are still living in the Su family temporarily?" ”
Sima Xiangru was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly.
Zhuo Wangsun shook his head: "How can I say that my Zhuo family is also a wealthy family in Shu County, how can my daughter and son-in-law send someone to the fence, I also have a house in Xishi, so I will give it to you as a gift, and now you are also the governor of the school governor's mansion, and you should also have your own home." ”
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Zhuo Wangsun waved his hand: "Su Ren's talent is obvious to all, needless to say in the future, I heard Su Ren tell you that he will let you be the marquis and worship the prime minister one day?" Although you can't really worship the prime minister, it's still possible to be a marquis, maybe at that time, the old man will go to you, and I don't know! ”
"Father-in-law is serious!"
Zhuo Wangsun smiled: "I can also see your talent clearly, my daughter should not worry about food and clothing in this life, since I have already done this, there is no need to open this Cuixiang Building again, it is an industry given to you by Su Ren, can it be handed over to the old man to take care of?" Guaranteed not to be worse than you are now! ”
Sima Xiangru hesitated a little and turned his head to look at Zhuo Wenjun.
Zhuo Wangsun laughed and said: "Don't worry, the old man will not take away your property, when you want it, the old man will return it with both hands, hey!" After these things, the old man can see clearly, this contest with Su Ren, the old man is convinced, and in the future, he will still count on the virtuous son-in-law to open up for my Zhuo family in Su Ren, and my Zhuo family's future business will also depend on the virtuous son-in-law. ”
"Father-in-law, what do you mean ......"
"Huh!" Zhuo Wangsun smiled: "What do you say? ”
and Zhuo Wangsun sat face to face, speaking and listening one by one. Sima Xiangru was like a primary school student, listening to Zhuo Wangsun talk endlessly, analyzing the things between him, Su Ren, and Zhuo Wenjun. What Zhuo Wangsun said was all good words, and it can also be said that it was all flattery. Zhuo Wangsun, who was shouting that he was going to fight and kill yesterday, actually admitted defeat in this way so easily today, not to mention that Sima Xiangru didn't expect it, even Su Ren felt incredible.
It was already night when Sima Xiangru returned to the barracks, and he had not yet woken up from the shock that Zhuo Wangsun had brought him, and he had not yet accepted Zhuo Wangsun's sudden retreat for a while. He said with some hesitation: "Captain, what do you think Zhuo Wangsun means?" Is it really admitting defeat or is there another plan? ”
Cui Jiuming smiled: "What other plans can he have, the Zhuo family's industry has reached the verge of collapse under our suppression, I think he can't support it, there is no other way than to admit defeat." ”
"But this is too fast to admit defeat!" Huo Laosi was still skeptical.
Cui Jiuming said: "This is Zhuo Wangsun's superiority, when he is against us, he will not be merciful, and if he wants to let go, he will be neat, this is a qualified businessman, and it is difficult for mother-in-law and mother to achieve great things." ”
"I still think there is a problem in it, although the Zhuo family was passive from the beginning, it didn't hurt its muscles and bones, so it was impossible to admit defeat so easily!"
"Nothing is impossible, businessmen do things like this, as long as they feel that they are powerless to support them, they will let go immediately, and they will never be as stubborn as Meng Ji to the end, Meng Ji is a stupid approach, and Zhuo Wangsun is a good businessman."
After arguing a few words, everyone's eyes looked at Su Ren, waiting for Su Ren to make a final summary. Su Ren lived up to expectations and touched his nose: "Whether it's true or not, it's a good start, Lao Cui will go and contact Zhuo Wangsun tomorrow, if he is willing to join our Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, even if he has any tricks, we can deal with it, if he has any concerns, it is natural to pretend to surrender!" ”
"Okay, this is good!" Huo Laosi hurriedly agreed: "Whether it's true or not, let's try and try first." ”
Cui Jiuming nodded: "Okay, I'll go tomorrow." ”
Su Ren made a summary, Sima Xiangru thought for a while and said, "If my father-in-law is fake, how is Mr. going to deal with it?" ”
Su Ren glanced at Sima Xiangru and smiled: "It's only been one afternoon that I changed my name to father-in-law, it seems that Zhuo Wangsun's bitter trick is a complete victory in you, as long as you are sure that he is fake, then don't blame me for being ruthless, I will definitely let him join the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce obediently!" ”
Cui Jiuming also glanced at Sima Xiangru: "Mr. Sima, don't worry, I won't squeeze your father-in-law too much, as long as he is willing, I won't embarrass him." ”
Sima Xiangru nodded: "There is a shopkeeper of Lao Cui!" ”
"That's it!" Su Ren waved his hand: "This matter is like this first, tomorrow is the beginning of the suppression of bandits in Shu County, according to the distribution map of the bandits that Li Sima obtained, I chose Heifengkou in the first battle, Xiong Baisui of Heifengkou is the largest bandit near Chengdu, as long as he is in addition to him, even if the reputation of our county soldiers is out, other cottages will also surrender, and we will exterminate the province one by one, and the affairs of the family will be left to you, no matter what happens, the Chamber of Commerce and the county soldiers can not have any problems!" ”
