Forget it, I don't want to do it, I think too much Wei Hong is angry. After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Wei Hong turned to ask Li Xuanqing: "I've been away from Beijing for a while, can the eldest lady handle the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce properly?" ”

Li Xuanqing was about to ask this question, but when he saw Wei Hong ask first, he didn't hesitate and said straightforwardly: "There is basically no problem, and now the entire cloth industry in the capital needs to follow the instructions of our Hongyuan Commercial Bank." However, outside of the cloth industry, there are some undisciplined. Tea merchants and porcelain merchants, in particular, were the most difficult to manage. Although we have been involved in the two industries of tea and porcelain, we have been involved in Hongyuan Commercial Bank, but neither the scale nor the experience can be compared with the big merchants in the capital. So much so that we are pointing fingers at their business, but some of them are counterproductive. ”

Hearing this, Wei Hong nodded thoughtfully, thought for a moment and said: "We don't need to worry about the problems of technology and experience, they have their way, and we don't need to worry about it at all." However, in terms of big business strategies and rules, there must be no concessions! Now that you are the president of the Chamber of Commerce, you should not just manage a specific industry, but should formalize the business model of the entire capital and even Datang. ”

"yes, I see." Li Xuanqing replied and completely accepted Wei Hong's meaning.

Later, he discussed business with Li Xuanqing for a while, and Wei Hong took his second daughter back. Originally, Li Ruohua wanted Wei Hong and Wanniang to sleep alone, so she didn't go to the meeting, after all, Wanniang was a genuine lady, and Wanniang should be served by Wanniang on the first night of her husband's return. But Wei Hong didn't care so much, and threw Li Ruohua on the bed. As a result, Wei Hong tossed until the second half of the night, and then fell asleep exhausted.

The next morning, when Wei Hong opened his eyes, he found that the second daughter had already gotten up and was packing up the court clothes and breakfast for Wei Hong. Seeing that Wei Hong woke up, the second daughter hurriedly put down the work in her hand and waited for Wei Hong to wash her face and eat. After eating, Wan Niang showed Wei Hong the court clothes, and said with a little apprehension: "The official positions on the husband's body now are only the township tribute and a household marquis, and no matter which of these two identities is qualified to enter the palace to face the saint, Wan Niang doesn't know what kind of court clothes to prepare for the husband." The surname Suo changed the white shirt that Fu Junping said was his favorite, not seeking to conform to the rules, but only to get on the table. I wonder what my husband thinks? ”

Wei Hong looked at the so-called court dress prepared by Wan Niang, which was actually a white shirt, the fabric was very thick and warm, and the corners were trimmed with silver silk threads. In Wei Hong's words, low-key luxury has connotation, which is very good. Wei Hong smiled very satisfied: "Yes, yes, as a husband, he is not an official of the court, he doesn't need to wear any official mansion to face the saint in the court, it fits very well when he wears this, and Mrs. Lao bothered." ”

After putting on the clothes, Wei Hong kissed the second daughter on the forehead and said goodbye.

Li Xuanqing had already ordered someone to prepare a carriage at the door, and after getting into the carriage, he went straight to the palace, now Wei Hong is just a small marquis, and the last dynasty can be described as a big thing, it is better to arrive an hour earlier than a minute late. Wei Hong tossed with his second daughter last night until the second half of the night, slept very little, and was a little tired, so he leaned on the carriage to take a nap. I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly the carriage stopped, followed by the anxious voice of the coachman: "Sir, there are a lot of people in front of you, and it seems that they are all coming for you, what should we do?" ”

Wei Hong rubbed his eyes, stuck his head out of the car, and sure enough, as the coachman said, he saw a large number of people gathered in front of the carriage not far from the carriage. Most of these people are young young masters, bustling on both sides of the road, looking at the posture as if they were star chasers in later generations, it was very lively.

Wei Hong has always been a low-key person and a high-profile person. This road is the main way to enter the palace, many officials of the court have to pass through here, if the official finds out that there are so many people surrounded here, even if he does not impeach himself now, he will definitely be haunted in the future. For the sake of safety, Wei Hong didn't want to entangle too much with these hot-headed fans, so he casually said to Ma Fu: "Take a detour!" ”

Wei Hong had already given the order, but the groom did not move, but was very embarrassed: "Sir, if you take a detour, you will have to walk for half an hour." In case the other officials have arrived, but Mr. has not arrived, even if he has not yet gone to the court, the other officials will also say that Mr. is so happy with his achievements, relying on his merits and not taking the rest of the officials in his eyes, if he falls into the hands of others, it is extremely inappropriate. ”

What this groom said is reasonable, so there is no way to detour, but Wei Hong can only nod stubbornly: "That's it, then let's go from here." ”

The groom replied and drove forward again, and as the crowd got closer and closer, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic. The young lady on both sides of the road kept shouting at the carriage: "Mr. Wei, I have long admired Mr. Wei's name, and I also ask Mr. Wei to come out to meet us." ”

Wei Hong ignored the fans' demands at all and urged the coachman to hurry up. As the carriage got deeper and deeper into the crowd, there began to be a stirring at the scene, and a large number of young talents who admired Wei Hong began to crowd onto the road, surrounding the carriage in the center, saying that they would not let the carriage go any further. Helpless, Wei Hong could only reluctantly get out of the carriage, after all, if he continued to be entangled like this, he would definitely delay the early dynasty.

The moment Wei Hong appeared in everyone's sight, the scene was boiling, and the voices of discussion and cheers were endless. Before Wei Hong could speak, an old man in his sixties came to the carriage tremblingly, and said with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Wei, I finally see you." In the next life, I have no interest in anything, but I am very interested in painting, since I saw Mr. Wei's sketches, I can't think about it, I can't sleep at night, and my admiration is beyond words. Please also ask Mr. Wei to accept him as an apprentice no matter what! ”

In the past, Wei Hong didn't believe in the saying 'live to learn all the time', but now that he sees this old man, Wei Hong believes it! But while the old man's spirit was commendable, it was impossible to take him as a disciple. After all, Wei Hong has always defined himself as a 'mercenary' businessman, and he only has three apprentices, Zhang Ling'er and Fang Du, all of whom are beneficial to Wei Hong. If this old man can also benefit Wei Hong in business or life, Wei Hong can naturally consider accepting him.

Before Wei Hong could reply, the old man was squeezed by the surging crowd, and then a young girl squeezed at Wei Hong's feet. This girl is about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she looks quite standard, and when she saw Wei Hong, she immediately put on a beautiful posture and said coquettishly: "The little girl has seen Mr. Wei, but I don't know ...... Mr. Wei."
