After the seizure of Chongzhou and the resealing of the Jinling store, the Wei family was already stormy, but it gradually became stable and quiet. But there is always a gloomy cloud pressing on the hearts of the Wei family, the more quiet and uneventful, the more dignified and depressed, there is a kind of tranquility before the storm.

Some of the Wei family's shopkeepers seem to be determined to usurp and seize power, I don't know if they were provoked by others or they don't know what happened to Wei Qiao when he left the Yushitai, and they kept forming gangs and spreading rumors in the Wei family's shopkeepers, and there was a big deal about pulling Li Xiluan off the stage and not giving up.

Wei Sanye, who is so important that even Li Xiluan has to deal with carefully, has always been silent, and Wei Kai, who controls nearly one-fifth of the Wei family's business, has a lot of words because of Wei Qiao's performance, but unfortunately Wei Sanye has too much influence, and he usually doesn't pay attention to family relationships. And another cutting-edge Wei Fa has become more and more high-profile recently, and a group of shopkeepers followed him to wave their flags and shout, making extremely high profits in the rotten Wei family's business, which was extremely abruptly revealed, which covered up Li Xiluan's edge.

With the 'lifting' of the external threat, all kinds of struggles within the Wei family have intensified, and most of the shopkeepers directly rejected Li Xiluan's request for auditing.

Blatantly resisted, secretly stumbling up, and all kinds of means emerged one after another.

Li Xiluan was indifferent to the usurpation of power within the Wei family, went out early in the morning, and visited some of the old friends of Master Wei non-stop, and soon visited several other major cloth merchants in Jinling, and even the Chu family went to it in person.

It is rumored that Master Chu even praised Li Xiluan, and several places where the two Wei and Chu families were fiercely contested made concessions, and there were faint signs of rebuilding for good.

Then Li Xiluan visited the Jiang family again, and talked secretly with the head of the Jiang family for most of the hour, and the Jiang family made concessions in many aspects, and even the eldest prince of Jiang visited the Wei Mansion on the same day, and they talked secretly for most of the hour.

Then Li Xiluan visited some officials, among which the most difficult Dyeing and Weaving Department of Jinling cloth merchants to overcome, Li Xiluan was welcomed in as a guest, and it is said that when leaving, the dyeing and weaving envoy personally sent it to the door!

At the same time, the shops controlled by Li Xiluan and the shopkeepers who tended to Li Xiluan began to rectify internally, stopped production, and carried out drastic reforms, as if they were making some kind of preparations.

Li Xiluan's series of actions in one day, almost all the cloth merchants in Jinling stabbed the tense nerves again, in the past, although Li Xiluan was strong, but it was used to barely maintain the Wei family's business, but this time, such a high-profile big move to the outside world, it is the first time.

Li Xiluan's actions caused a huge shock in the Jinling business community, and the related ones quickly reacted, and then took action again and again.

The Chen family was naturally not to be outdone, and contacted the Jinling cloth merchants one after another, and even made up an alliance to advance and retreat together, and for a time many shopkeepers were attracted to the past and joined the Chen family's camp. The Chen family even led some Jinling officials to frequently meet with some shopkeepers who had always had an ambiguous attitude, and then these people stood on the side of the Chen family.

The momentum of the Chen family has risen greatly, and it is like Zhongtian among the cloth merchants in Jinling.

Compared with the high-profile of the Wei and Chen families, the Chu family is much more low-key, but in some places where they tacitly advanced and retreated together with the Chen family, the Chu family suddenly refused to cooperate without warning, which made the Chen family, who had won the victory but failed, very embarrassed.

The intrigue between the three major cloth merchants in Jinling has set off a monstrous wave in the Jinling business community. But this is also in anticipation of the mainland affairs, the Jinling Chamber of Commerce is about to be held, this series of actions is nothing more than fire reconnaissance, testing each other's hole cards, not a real fight.

Compared with the invincible Chen family, the low-key Chu family, many people are more interested in the glorious Wei family in the past, how majestic and domineering the old man Wei was, the Chen family of Jinling's time-honored brand was pressed to death, and the president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, who had almost been occupied by the Chen family, almost forced the Chen family into a corner, and even some orders from the government were taken by the old man Wei.

At that time, Master Wei made friends all over the world, decisive and resolute, heroic, and could be said to be invincible in Jinling.

It's a pity that the day is not a holiday, just when he died suddenly in the prime of life, but the methods in front of Master Wei were clean and unpredictable, and he was sober for half a month before he died, and no one knew if he had left a back hand, especially the Chen family, who was forced by Master Wei to almost jump off the wall, was even more jealous.

Of course, these fears will be delayed until the end of the Chamber of Commerce at most, and at that moment, everything will be clear.

Whether to see the dagger in the end, or continue to endure hibernation, everything depends on the situation of the Chamber of Commerce.

Although the water outside had reached the door of the house, Wei Qiao was unmoved, and ran to the backyard when he had nothing to do, holding a pen and constantly remembering something.

Although the two little girls didn't know the inside story, they were under the same roof as Wei Qiao, and they faintly noticed something, and they were no longer as worried and scared as before.

The next afternoon, Wei Qiao had just read the book for a while, and the family came to report that someone had visited.

A canal of clear water flows slowly along the winding hills and stones, rockeries surround the forest, dense layers, and a pavilion is hidden in it. The edges and corners are curved, and the bricks and tiles are green. The four pillars are all fine locust wood, standing all around, and the pavilion has four round stone benches and marble square tables.

The breeze is cool and the shade is cool, but it is a good place to escape the heat.

"Brother Wei, this is what you want, I wrote it down, if Brother Wei has any questions, let someone send me a letter, and I will inquire about Brother Wei." Han Won sat across from Wei Qiao and handed over a stack of rice paper.

Wei Qiao nodded, took it and put it aside, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Han." ”

"Brother Wei is polite, just tell the younger brother if you have something." Han Won's expression was excited and high-spirited, and the famous post obviously played a role.

Wei Qiao smiled faintly and said, "Brother Han, you are helping to collect information about the court, I will be in the office soon, it is always good to know a little more." ”

Han Yuan immediately nodded and said without hesitation: "Well, what Brother Wei said is that the younger brother will inquire when he goes back, and he will definitely give Brother Wei the most detailed information." ”

Wei Qiao smiled and said, "Then thank you Brother Han, by the way, how is Miss Yao Yu?" ”

Han Yuan's face was embarrassed, he waved his hand, picked up the teacup and said, "Brother Wei, drink tea, drink tea." ”

Wei Qiao also has some understanding of the actions of these romantic talents, which is nothing more than liking the new and hating the old, and hunting for novelty.

Wei Qiao also picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, and said with a smile: "By the way, Brother Han, how is Master Yinkong lately?" ”

Han Yuan was stunned, Wei Qiao jumped too much, and then hurriedly said: "Master Yinkong has always been in the Cloud Buddha Temple, and his body is very healthy. ”

Wei Qiao smiled and nodded, thinking about going once, but he never succeeded. took out a roll of rice paper from his arms, handed it to Han Yuan, and said, "Brother Han, please help me transfer it to Master Yinkong when you are free." ”

Han Yuan nodded and took it, although he was also randomly named by the Indoku Master that day, but he would not be absent if he asked to see the Indoku Master. When he opened the rice paper, he saw three poems written on it.

The mountains are colored from afar, and the water is silent.

The flowers are still there in spring, and people and birds are not surprised.

The head and head are all revealed, and the objects are flat.

How to say no, just to make it clear.

It's not all beings, it's not the phase, the spring is warm and the yellow warbler cries on the willows.

Speaking of the mountains, rivers, seas and moons, I will not be melancholy before.

Rest and melancholy, like a cloudless sky.

Half window pine shadow half window moon, a futon and a monk.

After sitting cross-legged in the middle of the night, the moth extinguishes the Buddha's headlamp.

The three capitals are Buddhist poems, Han Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Wei, don't worry, the younger brother will send it to you tomorrow." ”

Wei Qiao smiled and was about to say thank you, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps behind him. Wei Qiao turned his head curiously, under normal circumstances, the two little girls would not come over to disturb their guests.

A tight-sleeved shirt with a close-fitting short gown.

Fish?!

Wei Qiao was stunned, and hurriedly stood up and walked out of the pavilion to greet him: "Yu'er, what's wrong?" ”

The fish's big eyes flickered, and two red clouds dyed his pretty face, he looked behind him angrily, leaned closer and whispered, "Young Master, our family's dye formula has been stolen." ”

Wei Qiao raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not ......"

"Fake." As soon as Wei Qiao finished speaking, Yu'er pursed his mouth again and said in a very low voice.

Wei Qiao glared at her angrily, and said thoughtfully: "Well, I know, let my sister-in-law accidentally leak the news." ”

Yu'er pursed her mouth and looked at Wei Qiao, somewhat understanding Li Xiluan's thoughts, and then thinking about the meaning of Wei Qiao's words, she couldn't help but secretly slander in her heart: "The young master is too bad." ’

seemed to see what Yu'er was thinking, and said with a smile: "Go ahead, tell my sister-in-law, and let her wait for me at night." ”

This sentence is very common, and Wei Qiao actually doesn't have any bad intentions, but when Yu'er heard it, he immediately stared at him and clenched his silver teeth.

- This sentence is not ambiguous, it is simply provocative, and even a bit of a hooligan!

Just as the fish was puffing up for her young lady, Han Yuan came over, hugged his fists at Wei Qiao and said, "Brother Wei is busy first, and the younger brother will leave first." ”

Wei Qiao smiled and hugged his fists, and said, "Then Brother Han walks slowly, I'm tired of Brother Han." ”

"Brother Wei doesn't have to be polite, junior brother farewell." Han Won smiled again, hugged his fists, and strode away with rice paper.

Wei Qiao turned his head and saw that the little girl was still staring at herself, if it wasn't for herself, the maid naturally couldn't shake the chestnut, so he smiled and said: "What are you staring at, if you want to stare at your sister-in-law, don't go back to pass the word." ”

The little girl's eyes blinked, as if she felt that Wei Qiao was right, the little head nodded, and walked away with a tangled face.

Wei Qiao looked at the back of the fish and smiled, the customs here are not as strict and harsh as in later generations, Confucianism is not as perverted as the queen, and a few little girls in the family are quite suitable for his taste.

As for who stole the formula, Li Xiluan, who had talked to Jiang You, knew it in his heart, and Wei Qiao also knew it. Now there is a lack of opportunity to sweep away the hidden dangers within the Wei family in one fell swoop.

Sitting on the stone bench, Wei Qiao picked up the won and brought him rice paper.

Wei Qiao doesn't know much about the specific background of Chen Chu's two families, if he wants to win the president of the Chamber of Commerce in one fell swoop, he can win all battles by knowing this and knowing the other.

Wei Qiao flipped through them one by one, with thoughtful expressions in his eyes from time to time.
