Chapter 124: The Rough Paper Mill in the West Market

Looking at Yan Ming's bewildered appearance, Tian Wen patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to sit down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Yan Ming obediently sat on the opposite side, waiting for Tian Fengshi to calm down.

After a long time, Tian Feng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, sighed and said, "My maiden name is Feng, and Princess Yanran's biological mother is also surnamed Feng." Xi'er and Yanran are the same age, you should be able to guess the relationship between me and Yanran! ”

Yan Ming opened his mouth wide, Tian Xi's mother Tian Feng's maiden family was naturally surnamed Feng, but if she didn't say it, Yan Ming would not have linked this Tian Feng family with Feng Gong'e in that palace.

"Actually, my Tian family was not originally in the rough paper business." Tian Wen said: "At first, we were just an ordinary resident in Chang'an City. If there is anything special about it, it is that the family background is slightly better. Xiao Wu, that is, your aunt, and Xiao Liu'er, who have no parents since they were young, were taken in by my father. ”

"That year, Emperor Xiaojing elected a beautiful girl in the palace. Originally, it was time for Xiao Wu to enter the palace. It's just that at that time, Xiao Wu and I had made a private agreement for life. Xiao Wu said that if he forcibly entered the palace, it would be better to die both. Tian Wen sighed again and said: "Xiao Liu heard this, and said that he would not allow his sister to enter the palace." She took the place of her sister and entered the palace. ”

"When I started to enter the palace, it was fine. Letters from home are often coming. said that life in the palace is the same as always, and in a few years, the emperor will let some palace maids out of the palace, and then Xiaoliu will also come out and find a good family to marry. Tian Wen said.

"I also hope that my sister can find a good family to marry, but who knows that her letter will change later. said that Wang Mei, who served by herself, gave birth to a prince. Later, Li Ji and Wang Meiren in the palace competed for the back position, and she, as the palace maid next to Wang Meiren, was inevitably involved. At that time, I felt that Xiaoliu was a little dangerous! When Tian Fengshi said this, he wiped his tears with his hand, obviously distressed about what happened to his sister.

Until one day, the current emperor became the crown prince of the year. But since then, we have never received any more letters from Xiaoliu. However, the palace came to the chamberlain, saying that the queen was grateful for everything Xiaoliu had done, and specially sent a person surnamed Cai to teach us to only make rough paper, and helped us open this workshop that sells rough paper in Chang'an! Tian Feng said.

"Now that I think about it, it was that Wang Meiren, that is, the current Queen Wang, who hurt Xiaoliu, and she couldn't get over it in her heart, so she gave us this rough paper business-woo-" Speaking of this, Tian Fengshi cried.

She cried sadly, Tian Wen was a little at a loss, and coaxed Tian Fengshi and said: "Don't cry, don't cry, this rough paper business was bought by Xiaoliu with his life, we can't continue to do it with a clear conscience." It's sad when you think about it, let's just not do this business! ”

Tian Wen gently patted Tian Feng's back and whispered comfort.

"Not anymore. These days, another shop selling rough paper has opened in the West Market. People say that paper is much better than ours. I wondered if the technique of this rough paper had been taught to us by someone from the palace, how could anyone else? Tian Feng said with a sob.

"When I inquired these days, I learned that the rough paper workshop in Xishi was under the name of Tian Wei. Tian Wei, that is the younger brother of the current empress and the uncle of the emperor. Now what Yan Ming said is obviously aimed at us! Tian Fengshi shook his head and sighed.

The palace competes for the storage position and the rear position, which is bloody and bloody. Don't say that you are a palace maid. Even the death of hundreds or thousands of people is normal. As far as Yan Ming knew, Li Ji's relatives were killed and wounded, which shows the danger of the harem.

But what I never dreamed of was that this incident of fighting for storage in history, which can be used as a textbook, had something to do with me.

If he didn't marry Tian Xi, he would naturally not interfere too much. Even if he is happy to marry, without Yanran's fetters, Yan Ming can guarantee that he will not interfere in these dirty things.

But now, Wang Huan, the old woman, not only brings up the old things again, but also grabs Yanran, and also involves the Tian family, which is not right.

In Yan Ming's heart, being a man should advance and retreat to a certain extent, this is the right reason.

Wang Wan's approach contradicts Yan Ming's principles of life. If it were someone else, he wouldn't ask. But now Wang Wan has threatened the Tian family's business. He couldn't ignore it.

Fighting with Wang Huan, Yan Ming thought that he was purely touching a stone with an egg. He wasn't stupid enough to go against the emperor's mother in this era.

"Tian Wei, is it? Is papermaking made? Yan Ming frowned slightly, didn't say much, just wrote down this matter in his heart.

"The paper-making business, when Xi'er's marriage is over, we won't do it. The savings of these years are enough for us to live. Tian Wen indulged and comforted Tian Feng.

"Hmm!" Tian Fengshi completely lost his former calmness, like a little woman.

"But now I have to come forward and talk to Xi'er about this matter. I don't know if this kid can get through this hurdle! Tian Wen said.

"You guys wait outside, I'll go in and see Xi'er." Tian Feng knew what Tian Wen meant. Although his daughter has been knowledgeable since she was a child, she is open-minded and generous. But in this kind of personal affairs of children, they may not be able to afford to let go.

Tian Fengshi wiped away his tears, calmed down, and walked into Tian Xi's boudoir. Tian Wen and Yan Ming were left outside.

"Your aunt was here just now, and I didn't say anything. After your marriage, you can't stay here. I'm thinking, go to Maoling, you see......" Tian Wen was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Yan Ming.

"There is a house in Maoling, and I have left a set for the second elder. You can go over and retire at any time. But we can't let go of the rough paper business here. These more than ten years of operation are also painstaking efforts. If you don't want to run it, you can keep it for your children, and you can watch it, and I will close the West Market of Tian Wei. Tian Feng's left, and Yan Ming had no scruples.

There are some things that can only be negotiated between men.

"What?" Tian Wen's eyes suddenly lit up.

This rough paper mill in Dongshi is his hard work, and if he says to give up, he will give up, and it is difficult for Tian Wen to give up. Now looking at Yan Ming's swear, his already stiff heart instantly became a little more alive.

"Can you really get Tian Wei to close the door?" Tian Wen asked.

"This business is not bigger than anyone else! If there are customers, that's called business. Where do customers come from? For the same goods, the customer picks the owner. But if the goods are different, then the customer picks the quality of the goods! If the quality of our goods is higher than that of the West Market, and our service attitude is better than that of the West Market, what will happen to the outcome? Yan Ming asked with a smile.

"Needless to say, if this is the case, plus the old customers in our hands, it is also a matter of course to squeeze out his West Market." Tian Wen slapped the table and smiled.

"I'll solve the technical problems of rough paper. The rest is for sale. If you are always willing, we will fight with them. If you don't want to, then go to Maoling, drink tea there to retire, and watch the kid sing you a good show. Yan Ming smiled.

"Pension? Who wants to retire? Do you see I'm old? Tian Wen blew his beard and glared: "If you can make better paper than Taxi City, the old man will spend it with them here." If nothing else, all this in exchange for Xiao Liu'er can't just collapse like this! ”

Yan Ming nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry." It's not just paper. I'll ask those who can read and write to come to you to buy from you, and you can just count the money. ”

Tian Wen laughed, he had always trusted Yan Ming. Just because this kid can get the emperor and the princess in a short time, there is nothing that can't be done.

The two of them were chatting happily, Tian Feng came out of the house, looked at Yan Ming, and said softly: "Tian Xi said to let you in, I have something to say to you." ”

Yan Ming was stunned, but Tian Wen kicked him lightly and said with a smile: "My daughter I know." That's what promises you. It's just that you don't have any energy in your heart, you can just coax it! ”

Yan Ming glanced at his old father-in-law gratefully, and felt that this old Tianwen was about to catch up with his son.

arched his hand, and Yan Ming entered Tian Xi's boudoir.
