Chapter 44: Li Quan
Shen Wuyan couldn't explain who Old Joe was who sold apples, but everything he said to Shen Wuliang today was true, and he really planned to do so.
After walking out of the study, Shen Wuyan hurriedly walked towards the account room on the first floor.
Although the bookkeeper of Hanyan Building is no longer the person he was back then, the Li Quan who changed him is quite a businessman, at least Shen Wuyan has only been to the restaurant a few times, and he found that Shen Wuyan's status in this restaurant is not so simple.
So that now Li Quan is already compared with Shen Wuyan, but Shen Wuyan also admires this old gentleman who has been researching for more than 40 years, so much so that every time he comes to the store, he will chat with him for a while.
Today is no different from usual, Shen Wuyan chewed the apple he took down from the second floor, and slowly walked to the front of the account room, and called softly: "Mr. Li is busy."
Li Quan's temples are gray and his face is lean, like a boatman who manages accounts on the ferry. However, his slender and white hands can confirm that he is indeed a frustrated scholar who has tried and failed.
Li Quan raised his head slightly, swept Shen Wuyan, couldn't help but show a smile, and said lightly: "Yo, Mr. Shen is here, this is a rare guest." ”
Shen Wuyan shook his head, glanced at his mouth, and muttered: "Mr. Li is really a noble person, it has only been a few days since I came over to eat and drink a few days ago, and you have forgotten it."
Li Quan suddenly waved his hand and sighed lightly: "It's just a greeting, Mr. Shen is so serious, but compared to the past, Mr. Shen is really a little less these days." ”
Shen Wuyan nodded, but he didn't hide it, but said: "These days, Honglu Temple is very busy, and a group of North Korean missions are coming, and you also know that these North Koreans are not unable to find time, so why don't you come over today to see that you are old." ”
Li Quan listened to the other party's words, and immediately frowned, and then unhurriedly threw the account book in his hand beside him, and chuckled: "Mr. Shen took the time to come over, the old man really believes it, but you believe it when you come to see me."
Shen Wuyan was suddenly dumbfounded. But he didn't laugh after all, he nodded and said: "You have been in Hanyan House for some years, and business is indeed not as prosperous as in previous years."
"Now that Wanjia is becoming more and more prosperous in the capital, those old shops are naturally not afraid, but Hanyan Lou does not have that Liu girl, how can Hanyan Lou gain a foothold" Although Li Quan is a scholar, he is more proficient in businessmen.
So after Shen Wuyan complained, he could already guess a little, and continued: "Mr. Shen wants to make the shop prosperous, but now I am afraid it is very difficult."
"There are several ways. Mr. Li gave Pinpin" Shen Wuyan smiled mysteriously, and then moved closer. deliberately lowered his voice and said, "You can just listen to it, but don't stretch it." ”
Li Quan saw that Shen Wuyan was so mysterious, but he was also a little more curious, and he also knew Shen Wuyan very well.
Especially the other party's fame in the capital these days is even louder than Li Panlong's fame in Beijing back then. Nowadays, the literati in the capital, who doesn't know that golden thread song.
After a pause, Li Quan nodded hurriedly, looked at Shen Wuyan with a slow expectant face, and asked, "Mr. Shen is still selling Guanzi, it's just that people are talking about it." How can an old man be like this?"
Shen Wuyan smiled slightly, and even whispered in Li Quan's ear for a while, but when he saw Li Quan's face change for a while, he couldn't help asking, "What do you think this is just the first step?"
"There is a second step" Li Quan suddenly exclaimed, and suddenly felt that he was a little out of shape, and he couldn't help but look around and found that he hadn't attracted the attention of others, so he lowered his voice again. said: "Mr. Shen's first step is really novel, although these sour and rotten literati in the capital disdain these small cheaps, but if they change their tricks, they will really scramble."
Shen Wuyan suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then sighed: "It's really a bit troublesome to implement this matter, although I also know some literati, but most of these people won't come, and it's really difficult to do these small activities." ”
Li Quan pondered for a while, and nodded in response: "Mr. Shen said so." But it's the same thing with your friends, but they don't notice these little things. Besides, it's really uncomfortable for you to do these things again with your current status, isn't it?"
In the end, Li Quan smiled deliberately, as if he was making fun of it. In fact, it shows that the relationship between the two is also very close.
In fact, these things can also be handed over to Cai'er to do, and the restaurant that has been running for so long has really cultivated a little business knowledge, and those simple things are not too difficult to complete.
It's just that Shen Wuyan thinks that it would be better to leave this matter to Li Quan, at least it may be more convenient for Li Quan to do this.
Of course, Shen Wuyan also came out of other considerations, such as some of Li Wan'er's explanations, such as Wang Tian and Cai'er who have been married but still have no children, so they plan to take advantage of the current situation to solve this matter.
After leaving the restaurant, Shen Wuyan went to Wenyuan Pavilion.
Since the night of playing the Hanyan Building, Gao Gong has never met Shen Wuyan, and he has never mentioned this matter in ordinary times, and the two have been safe and sound.
As if nothing had happened that night in Yue Yun Restaurant, Gao Gong did not force Shen Wuyan into a desperate situation, and Shen Wuyan did not leave angrily on the spot.
In short, everything is so calm, this kind of calm wants to be as before the Duanyang Festival, even more silent than that. The high arch seemed to have disappeared from this world, and Shen Wuyan had never seen it.
Probably because Shen Wuyan didn't go to Wenyuan Pavilion, and Gao Gong was not here to come to Xiyuan, so that the capital was so big, and the two had no chance to meet.
There was nothing to do when Shen Wuyan went to Wenyuan Pavilion today, although it was said that it was for the Korean mission in a few days, in essence, he still wanted to see what Gao Gong meant.
Because Shen Wuyan found that the North Korean mission's entry into Beijing this time was also somewhat interesting, and he still sent a letter to the capital. If it was at a normal speed, I would have been able to get to the capital a long time ago, but this time it was really a long walk.
Therefore, Shen Wuyan planned to let the capital send an army to meet it, but the transfer of troops required the military department, and this matter still had to be ordered by His Majesty, so it was inevitable to pass through the hands of Gao Gong.
The vicinity of Wenyuan Pavilion was quite quiet, and after passing through a few corridors, Shen Wuyan saw the familiar palace, and immediately felt a little heavier in his heart.
He took a deep breath and walked towards the cabinet with the officials in the cabinet. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation
