Chapter 620: Fighting West (2)
Keep in mind!
Ha, the thirteenth is really a wonderful person!
Hongqing thought that the old thirteen was a child to celebrate his birthday, and he should have had a big feast like the old fourteen, but he didn't expect to get out of the carriage, except for seeing a carriage with the sign on the fourth master's mansion parked at the wall, there was no rest, obviously, the old thirteen was sending out a notice, that is, the reason why his old thirteen did the east this time was to help the fourth master and Hongqing pull a line, implying that Hongqing had to have a mental preparation, as soon as he thought of this, the corners of Hongqing's mouth immediately picked, There was a hint of a playful smile. {}
"The little one knocks to see the prince."
As soon as Hongqing's heels stood firm, he saw that a porter had already led several stewards to greet him, and he bowed in a proper manner.
"Excuse me, I'll bother Raul and wait to get through."
Hongqing raised her hand with a smile, signaled everyone to be flat, and then casually commanded.
"So that the prince will know that my master has an explanation, saying that if you come, you don't need to pass through, you can just enter directly, the prince, please."
As soon as he heard Hongqing's words, the porter hurriedly responded with a smile, and as soon as he got up, he was about to let Hongqing go inside.
"Well, I'm tired."
This Yongjun Palace, Hongqing is a frequent place, and the old thirteen family are familiar with each other, they are very casual, indifferent to the whisper, leading Li Minxing and a few other henchmen carrying the gift box into the gate of the mansion, all the way through the hall to the west flower hall at the second gate, across the distance I heard the old thirteen hearty laughter.
"Uncle Thirteen, what's so cola, it's also said that you can have fun with your little nephew."
Fang and his entourage entered the West Flower Hall, and saw the old thirteen sitting on the main seat, and Hongli, who was dressed in a white robe, was sitting sideways, laughing with the old thirteen, Hongqing saw this, and there was a flash of essence in his eyes, but the foot was not a little slow, and he entered the hall proudly, smiled and saluted the old thirteen, and said a casual greeting in his mouth.
"Ha, you kid is finally willing to come, why, the wine at the end of the old fourteen is not as fragrant as the one at the master's end?"
Seeing that Hongqing had arrived, Lao Thirteen didn't talk to Hongli anymore, but got up, tilted his head and looked at Hongqing, and then said with some taste.
"Uncle Thirteen, you have wronged the little nephew, the fourteenth uncle said that he wanted to have a treat, how dare the little nephew not go, but when I thought about the thirteenth uncle, there was an appointment here, but the little nephew left in advance, and the fourteenth uncle was full of unhappiness, if you want to say this again, this day may have to snow in June."
Hongqing and Lao Thirteen have always been used to laughing, how could they care about Lao Thirteen's ridicule, and they talked a lot nonsense.
"Gotcha,, what, your kid is not Dou E, and the master is not a dumb official, don't talk so much nonsense with the master, if this gift is not pleasing, there is no wine, but there is a big stick waiting."
The reason why the old thirteen have a treat today is that they can't cut Hongli's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and they feel that they owe the love of the fourth master - since the death of the old thirteen's mother, it has always been the fourth master's mother Wu Yashi who is taking him, and the fourth master has also helped the old thirteen who are often excluded by the brothers in previous years, although the alliance with each other has broken down a few years ago, but the feelings over the years will not be said to be gone, this time entrusted by Hongli to invite Hongqing to come to the house, the old thirteen is actually very worried that Hongqing will not give face, and now, Hongqing is not only here, The performance is still as close as ever, which makes the old thirteen's heart warm, laugh and scold, and reveal a strong sense of closeness.
"Hey, I know that Uncle Thirteen will say this, don't be afraid, the little nephew is here prepared, come here, and present all the gifts to the master!"
Hongqing didn't mind the old thirteen's scolding words at all, patted his chest confidently, and broke off with pride, and several of his own guards hurriedly lifted up a few gift boxes, and after uncovering the lids, they all bowed down and retreated from the hall.
"Hey, even if you kid has a heart, yes, you have to ask the dog if you like it, you kid can do it yourself."
There are a lot of things in the gift box, all of which are the four treasures of the study and all kinds of delicate toys, to say how precious it is, it really can't be talked about, at most it is more than three hundred taels of silver, but most of the things are high-quality products, to collect them, it is obviously not an easy matter, there is no doubt that Hongqing has spent a lot of thought on such a gift, the old thirteen is not very dissatisfied, but the old thirteen invited Hongqing to come, not for such gifts, but to create an opportunity for the interview between Hongli and Hongqing, Now, after the greetings are over, the old thirteen don't plan to talk more, so he dropped a sentence of explanation, and ordered people to carry the gift boxes to the back hall.
"The younger brother has seen Brother Qing."
When the old thirteen and Hongqing were laughing and arguing before, Hongli couldn't interject at all, so he could only stand aside and wait with jealousy, until the old thirteen went, he could be regarded as having a gap, Shi Shiran walked forward, arched his hand towards Hongqing, and greeted him very politely.
"Brother Li is polite, you and I are both guests, so you don't have to be polite to go, it's okay to be casual."
Hongli is thick-skinned, Hongqing is also not thin, at the beginning of the year, although the two sides tore their faces because of the marriage dispute in front of the palace, but later, they did not attack each other, but they all seemed to be nothing, and when they met, they would also say a few words of greetings, of course, but in private, there was no contact, and those greetings in public were actually just a gesture, put it for outsiders to see, and now they gathered together in the old thirteen mansions, and they all wanted from each other, but Hongqing knew what Hongli wanted. And Hongli's possible requirements for Hongqing are not at all underpinning, in such a situation of absolute superiority, Hongqing is happy to show a generous style, and did not show Hongli's face, but smiled and waved his hand, and politely replied.
"Since Brother Qing said so, then the little brother is respectful and might as well obey his fate, Brother Qing, please take a seat."
The capital injection of the "Eight Banners Firm" is too important for Hongli, and there is nothing to do, just because his voice in the central bank has been weakened a lot, if the capital injection of the "Eight Banners Firm" is obtained by the ninth master, the consequences must not be easy to play, and the foundation of its many years of operation has the possibility of collapse, because of this, even if the hatred for Hongqing in his heart is as deep as the sea, he has to beg the whole land to ask the old thirteen to come forward to help, and now, The old thirteen had already created an opportunity for him to meet with Hongqing alone according to the agreement, and Hongli didn't want to miss it, so he sent a signal to sit down with each other and discuss.
"Well, Brother Li, sit down too."
Hongqing is going to catch the two big fish of the fourth father and son this time, and before he succeeds, he will not deliberately embarrass Hongli, besides, this time it is in the old thirteen mansions, if they really make trouble with each other, the face of the master's family is not good-looking, right? Of course, Hongqing didn't deliberately curry favor with Hongli, just snorted indifferently, and then, regardless of whether Hongli sat or not, he walked to the side, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down.
"Brother Qing, the younger brother heard that the 'Eight Banners Firm' has been making a lot of profits recently, and the annual income is expected to exceed 20 million, I don't know if it's true?"
Seeing that Hongqing had already sat down, Hongli smiled, didn't say much, walked to the chair opposite Hongqing, and sat down with the same hem of the robe, and then, towards Hongqing again, he asked casually.
"Heh, Brother Li's question, I really can't answer it for my brother, the matter of the 'Eight Banners Firm' is in the hands of the fifteenth uncle, and the price of the brother is buried in the Ministry of Industry all day long, I really don't know the details."
Regarding the operation of the "Eight Banners Firm", Hongqing has a very good idea in his heart - since the conquest of Dongying, the profit of the "Eight Banners Firm" has taken a big step forward, and counting the dividends of the "Industrial and Commercial Bank of China" in the past year, the profit of the entire "Eight Banners Firm" has exceeded 16 million, which is equivalent to more than a quarter of the annual revenue of the national treasury! Of course, Hongqing's heart is clear, but he doesn't want to tell Hongli clearly, there is no side, just because Hongli's question seems random, but in fact, it is another pivot, in order to introduce the topic to the capital injection, in this regard, Hongqing's heart is as clear as a mirror, but he doesn't intend to just follow Hongli's meaning, so he played a haha, perfunctory nonsense.
"Brother Qing is too humble, no one in the world knows that the 'Eight Banners Firm' is managed by you, and my Eight Banners disciples can enjoy wealth and health, all of which are the merits of Brother Qing."
Hongli actually didn't care much about the real profit of the "Eight Banners Firm", all he wanted was to lead the conversation, although Hongqing came to a Tai Chi wrist with a push of three, four or five, but Hongli didn't care at all, and flattered Hongqing with a smile.
"Brother Li can't say anything, my Eight Banners disciples can enjoy health, all thanks to the grace of Huang Marfa, how can others dare to say this, Brother Li said so, don't you plan to put a fire on your brother, huh?"
Hongli's flattering words, regardless of whether they are sincere or false, are not something that people can afford, if they really want to admit themselves, then there is a suspicion of disobedience, in this regard, Hongqing has a clear understanding, how could he be poured down by Hongli's soup, his face was even a shock, and he reprimanded Hongli unceremoniously.
Hongqing's reprimand was obviously not joking, although the volume was not high, but the murderous atmosphere inside was very strong, Rao is Hongli is also a very deep person in the city, but he couldn't help but be stunned, his face changed, and he really didn't know how to explain it for a while......
