Chapter 113: Uncle, which adult is it?
Wei Qiao pinched this brightly colored, firm, and wear-resistant rag in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh. He spent so much effort to make a dyeing formula, and indeed dyed an extremely good cloth, and the effect of the blue stone was indeed a catalyst, but the stall owner didn't know where the stone came from, and he asked people to search all over Jinling, but they didn't find any clues.
In other words, there is no treasure mountain, and there is no key to entry, Wei Qiao can only look at Yinsheng and sigh.
Wei Qiao threw down the cloth and looked at the pile of gifts on the table.
For Zhou Tai's visit, Wei Qiao had already expected. After all, his mother, Princess Li, is not a simple person. She knew that the gold medal was in her hands, so she would never allow Zhou Tai to treat herself like that.
Because, this gold medal does not represent the future prince's attendant, but means the trust of the current emperor! Therefore, it is almost inevitable that Zhou Tai will come to the door today. What's more, Princess Li knows that this gold medal may not necessarily fall into Zhou Tai's hands.
Zhou Tai, as the only son of the late King Li, did not inherit the throne, but was deprived of the qualification to be crowned, which in itself is unreasonable.
There is an unwritten rule in Daqi, that is: the prince is not the king, and the king is not the prince!
The emperor often summoned Zhou Tai to ask the right, entered the palace frequently, and the relationship between the princess and the queen was very close, and Jinling did not know when the emperor wanted to pass the season Zhou Taili as the crown prince.
This kind of thing naturally can't refute the rumors, the court has taken a cold treatment, and over time, almost everyone is accustomed to thinking that Zhou Tai is the best candidate for the crown prince.
But last night, Wu Qingning's words shocked Wei Qiao's heart. Looking at the golden gold medals on the table, Wei Qiao could feel that a silent storm had quietly gathered not far from him.
But what surprised Wei Qiao the most was the reaction of the Chen family.
Just now, Yu'er sent someone to report that Master Chen, who was staying at home in the Chen family, made an exception and personally visited a shopkeeper Xie from Jinlingdong. This shopkeeper Xie does not have Li Yuanfeng's influence in the neutral shopkeeper, but his influence in Jinlingdong is second to none, if he says a word, almost all the shopkeepers in Jinlingdong will follow him.
Jinling Chamber of Commerce is not just a Jinling, it refers to the scope of Jinling can radiate, within this certain range, there is enough strength of the cloth merchant shopkeeper to participate, after all, the development of this Chamber of Commerce is closely related to them, can not be ignored.
There are also the same chambers of commerce, Chongzhou Chamber of Commerce, Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, Tanzhou Chamber of Commerce, but these chambers of commerce are in the south of the Yangtze River, and the North Chamber of Commerce is still dominated by Jinling.
Recently, a series of actions by Wei Qiao, Li Xiluan and the Wei family have shown that Wei Qiao's relationship network is extremely large, and the background is also extremely tough, Li Xiluan may not have noticed it, but the Chen family must be able to feel something different.
However, the Chen family didn't seem to see it at all, not only did it not converge, but it became more and more tightly arranged.
Either the Chen family is crazy, or they have no fear.
Wei Qiao hoped that the Chen family was crazy, but unfortunately, no one would think so.
Wei Qiao thought for a while and shook his head, these things are messy, until the Chamber of Commerce starts, no one will reveal their hole cards, and it is useless to think about it.
Wei Qiao put the things on the table into the drawer and said to the door: "Xiangling, is my sister-in-law back?" ”
I walked with Wu Qingning for a while last night, and the two didn't talk much, Wei Qiao used to be very neat, but recently he was extremely lazy. In addition, Wu Qingning was as cold as a cloud, and the relationship was not broken, so it was difficult for him to say anything.
However, Xiu'er's pretty face in the back was a little strange, remembering that Zhou Taiti had not yet entered the door and was sent back by the master, his eyes suddenly stared at Wei Qiao's back.
The two walked for a while, Wu Qingning said goodbye softly, and after Wei Qiao nodded, he looked at him for a while before turning over and quickly disappearing into the night.
Later, I went shopping with the two little girls for a long time, and I didn't come back until late at night. At that time, it was naturally not good to disturb Li Xiluan, and I wanted to look for her this morning, but Zhou Tai came too early and had to delay, but Li Xiluan was extremely busy recently and went out without breakfast.
Fortunately, there was a message over there to come back at noon, so Wei Qiao had to wait for her at home.
When Xiangling, who was flipping through the account book at the door, heard this, she quickly patted her little ass and stood up, ran in quickly, and said with a smile on her face: "Young master, I haven't yet." ”
Wei Qiao nodded and said, "Well, go ahead, tell me when you come back." ”
The little girl said 'oh' and quickly turned back. She has been making great progress lately, and the most skilled gentlemen in the account room are not as accurate as she can do quick calculations. The people who used to laugh at her are now cheeky to ask her for advice.
The little girl's little head was raised to the sky at that time, and she let them serve them with good water and delicious food, but in the end she still leaned back her nostrils and didn't say a word. Those people were depressed as if they had taken aphrodisiacs and couldn't vent them, their faces were flushed but they couldn't say a word.
She held a thick stack of ledgers, a pencil in her hand, and calculated quickly.
Wan'er, who was not far away, was still holding a piece of paper, pursing her small mouth and whispering, 'One by one, one by one, one by two, two......
Wei Qiao locked the drawer, but he was worried again. There have been too many things that have happened to him recently, and he doesn't know how to explain them to Li Xiluan, and the Chamber of Commerce is about to be held, if he doesn't explain it now, something will happen when the time comes, Li Xiluan is completely unaware, not to mention that it is easy to do bad things, and it will be even more difficult for him to explain in the future.
Wei Qiao thought in his heart, took out a book from the shelf, put it on the table, and looked at it with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Young Master, Madam is back." Wei Qiao didn't look long, Xiangling ran over again and said in a low voice.
Wei Qiao said 'um', raised his head, and said with a smile: "Well, you can eat lunch, I'll eat at my sister-in-law's." ”
The little girl smiled and nodded, and the little head melon.
Wei Qiao stretched his waist and walked towards Li Xiluan's small building.
Wei Qiao estimated that Li Xiluan was coming back at noon, and he must have heard something this morning. After all, the Wei family, as the No. 1 cloth merchant in Jinling, has some connections in the DPRK or now. She will definitely get some news about such a big thing last night.
As Wei Qiao walked, he was still muttering in his heart, what should he say to Li Xiluan, what should he not say, and how to say it.
Yu'er stood at the door, and when he saw Wei Qiao climbing the stairs, he hurriedly walked over and said softly, "Young Master, the meal is ready, Miss is waiting for you." ”
Wei Qiao said 'um', swept on her fresh and pretty dress, and said with a smile: "Yu'er, this dress is good, it suits you." ”
The fish pursed her mouth with a pretty face, and then couldn't help but smile.
Li Xiluan seemed to have just come back, changed into a simple dress, and was sitting at the table, looking a little dazed.
Wei Qiao walked over with a smile and walked down beside her, Li Xiluan found Wei Qiao and hurriedly said, "Yu'er, uncover, uncle, let's eat." ”
Wei Qiao nodded, picked up the chopsticks, watched the fish uncover the lid on the plate, turned his head and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, do you have something on your mind?" ”
Li Xiluan had recovered, exhaled softly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, everything has been going well recently." ”
Wei Qiao took the bowl handed over by Yu'er and said with a light smile: "Do you know what happened last night?" ”
Li Xiluan's face turned red when she heard this, the chopsticks were placed in the bowl, her head was lowered, and she said in a mixed voice: "No..."
After the fish served the meal, he stepped aside vividly, and when he heard Wei Qiao's words, he hurriedly withdrew and walked to the door.
Wei Qiao saw that Yu'er was already standing outside the door, and he was suddenly stunned, and then the chopsticks tossed in the bowl, and he sighed a little in his heart.
He said that last night's incident refers to the slap of Wang Yuanhui with Fu Mingzheng, and what Li Xiluan thought of was estimated to be Wu Qingning's matter.
Wei Qiao thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "If it's her, do you think it's okay?" ”
Li Xiluan wasn't jealous or anything, but when she heard about it last night, she covered the quilt and thought about hanging the red lantern high, but she had a somewhat ashamed dream at night.
Soon Li Xiluan calmed down, raised her pretty face and blushed slightly, and said softly: "Uncle, which lady is it?" ”
After all, it was the emperor's marriage, and it was definitely not an ordinary family.
Wei Qiao also scratched his head a little in his heart, the marriage partners all listened to what others said, although ** was not far from ten, but the emperor did not speak, and he always felt a little unsafe in his heart. Moreover, saying this will definitely add too much pressure to Li Xiluan, and now is the critical juncture for the Wei family, I am afraid that it will backfire.
Wei Qiao thought about it in his heart, and suddenly said with a low smile: "Sister-in-law, let's not talk about this first, at night, I will tell you a very important thing." ”
Li Xiluan's face flushed, she glanced at him very charmingly, bit her cherry lip and said, "Uncle, I have something to do at night, you better talk about it now." ”
Wei Qiao shook his head affirmatively, leaned closer and whispered, "Very, very, very important. ”
Li Xiluan's face was crimson, and her ears were red, but she still shook her head and didn't agree. That night, Wei Qiao used all kinds of strange excuses to insult her, and almost went to her room, if she hadn't begged softly at the last moment, Wei Qiao really succeeded.
Wei Qiao saw that Li Xiluan's expression was more resolute, and he regretted it a little in his heart, and he was a little carried away that night and frightened this big beauty.
Wei Qiao sat back again, groaning in his heart, and said, "Sister-in-law, I said, you have to be prepared." ”
Li Xiluan pursed her lips and tapped her head. The pretty face is flushed, her eyes are like spring, and she is glamorous.
Wei Qiao glanced at her and said, "Last night, I met with a few adults who appreciated my poetry and persuaded them to hand over the business of this year's cotton clothing gap outside the customs to our Wei family. ”
When Li Xiluan heard this, her first reaction was that she was stunned.
Because these businesses are generally controlled by the royal family or large merchants who are extremely close to the royal family, it is difficult for others to meddle in, even if Master Wei was in Jinling at the beginning, he only got the official business of the forbidden army's winter clothes. Like others, they can't get involved at all, let alone garrisons outside the gates!
Li Xiluan was stunned, and then frowned and said, "Uncle, which adult is it, can he make a decision?" ”
