Chapter 187: The Emperor Leaves the Palace
According to the lively street by the canal of the mansion, this wall alone can show the momentum of the owner, a zhang high white wall stands majestically, making people look a little depressed under this wall, the main entrance is an archway, on the book: "Jubao Building" three words
Although this name is cheesy, but when I looked at it carefully, I found that this gold lacquer character was a little extraordinary and very imposing.
There are two side buildings next to the main gate, there are already a lot of guys in the busy work, see Liu Chengfeng coming, one by one came to greet, Liu Chengfeng ignored it, just told them to do their own thing, with a pair of uncles continue to go deeper, the facilities inside are not luxurious, and even because there are too many buildings in the courtyard wall, even the fake stones, streams, and gardens in the ordinary courtyard have no place, what catches the eye is only a row of painted houses, each row of houses has dozens of small rooms, the small rooms are not spacious, but the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are complete, There are even abacus beads, in addition to pear wood chairs and screens, a table of eight immortals is particularly conspicuous.
Zhang Heling frowned constantly when he saw it, and said in his heart, this is also called a tea shop? Who will come to this place? It's ridiculous! The original man surnamed Liu can also do business, who knows that it is also in vain, and it is difficult for me to still stammer.
Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't show it, in fact, it was not just him, even Zhang Yanling felt that something was wrong, if it was a tea shop, this tea shop was neither a silk bamboo prostitute, nor was it elegantly decorated, and it was even ...... It's a bit cheesy, and the furnishings in this tea room are too simple, and it's a bit comfortable to say, but if you want to say what benefits it can be, you really can't think of it.
For example, the face of the door is obviously still good, but when he raised his legs to come in, he found that there were two black boards hanging on the walls of the gatehouse on both sides. How do you look at how it feels awkward, and there's. This large courtyard occupies a large area, and it could have been used to make a garden, plant some potted plants, and build a few pavilions. But this Liu Chengfeng actually took all the land to repair the house, as if he was afraid that this tea room would not be enough.
That's fine, if the tea room is elegantly decorated, you can always find a little bit of shine, but this tea room is no different from the tent room, this ...... This......
Although the two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling are not elegant people, they have never seen a pig run or eaten pork, and they slandered Liu Chengfeng, the so-called tea shop, in their hearts.
Liu Chengfeng looked very proud, and looked at it as if he was looking at the flowers, and a person who looked like a shopkeeper came. This shopkeeper is called Wen Feng, a distant relative of the Wen family, this kind of business, of course Liu Chengfeng can't be handed over to others, this Wen Feng's wife is Wen Chenxi's nurse when she was a child, she is quite honest, follows the rules, and never makes mistakes in doing things. Because of this alone, Liu Chengfeng decided to use him. After all, looking for someone to do things, smart or not is secondary, the most important thing is to be honest and kind, if you meet someone who is not kind, even if the business is good. I'm afraid it's also a wedding dress for people.
Besides, this Wen Feng's wife and son are still working in the Wen Mansion now, and they know the root cause and use it with confidence.
Wen Feng saluted Liu Chengfeng and said, "Uncle." According to your orders, the people sent out have already been on the road, and there will be news in the next few days, and all the major provinces in the world have also contacted the carriage and horse shops, if the news is delivered, this speed is only afraid that it is not slower than the post station of the imperial court. ”
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "What about the other people?" ”
Wen Feng said: "I am practicing, and I will be able to open in a few days." ”
Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "You just do what I say, and I will handle the rest." ”
After sending away Wenfeng, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were confused, and Zhang Heling couldn't help asking: "Liu Baihu, why do you still have to contact Chemahang and send people to the provinces in this business?" So, how many people do you have to hire? ”
Liu Chengfeng said lightly: "Not much, not much, a total of three or four hundred, it will be used first, if you want to expand in the future, you will have to recruit some more people." Okay, I don't have much time, I'll go back to the duty room later, if you are willing to buy shares, send the money directly to the Wen family tomorrow. ”
Liu Chengfeng didn't say anything, and left alone.
The pair of brothers looked at each other, and then they caught up and wanted to ask something more, but they made it clear that the secret of heaven could not be revealed, so that Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling wanted to ask but didn't know how to speak, so the two had to return to the Shouning Marquis Mansion in frustration, asked someone to pour tea, and began to discuss.
"I don't think this Liu Chengfeng looks like a businessman, you look at his tea shop, hum, it's ridiculous, the tea shop on the street is also better than him, at least it can be lively, he is good, he opened the tea shop to the edge of the dock, wasted such a good land, it was tossed like that, Trillium, in my opinion, let's still have less to mess with him, this person is crazy to speak, I feel a little problematic at first glance."
Zhang Heling was angry, took a sip of tea, and complained.
Although he and Liu Chengfeng's previous festival was smoothed, Liu Chengfeng showed his mouth, which made him excited for a night, who knew that this business was like this, and he wanted to enter the gold bucket every day by relying on this tea shop? It's just wishful thinking!
Moreover, the tea shop was originally a low-profit business, and I didn't see anyone who could make a fortune by opening a tea shop, Zhang Heling felt that this Liu Chengfeng was not very reliable.
Zhang Yanling said: "What the eldest brother said is not bad, but as long as a thousand taels of silver are shared, you have to try it, maybe this Liu Chengfeng really has a way?" After all, people have studied and reported, how good is this business of learning and reporting? Who doesn't know about the Jingshi? ”
Zhang Heling blew his beard and glared, and said, "Try? Hmph, you don't want to think about it, a tea shop has recruited hundreds of guys, can this tea seller afford to raise so many mouthfuls? ”
The two brothers were arguing over this matter, and the porter came to report and said, "Master Hou, the queen called a father-in-law to instruct, saying that Master Hou will enter the palace if he is free, and the mother has something to say to you." ”
Zhang Heling's face was swollen red, but it was not surprising for Empress Zhang to ask him to enter the palace, after all, he had been detained in the Baihu Institute for a few days, and he always had to be comforted as a sister, so he had to say: "I know, prepare the car." ”
After that, he said to Zhang Yanling: "Does Yanling go to the palace?" ”
Zhang Yanling said: "Naturally, let's go." ”
The two went out of the house and got into the car again, passed the noon gate, and then walked to Kunning Palace. When Empress Zhang saw Zhang Heling, she naturally smiled kindly. comforted him well, and then said: "That Liu Chengfeng is too ignorant, but then again, this time it was your fault first." This matter, from now on, it will be settled, but you have also suffered, and in a few days you will ask the emperor to find something from the inner treasury to reward you, your pair of brothers are also the eldest of the eldest, and there is nothing to do all day long, that is, to make this palace a sister's worry, even Houzhao has been born in peace for a few days, but you are not happy. ”
With that, Empress Zhang sighed. continued: "Daddy left early, the palace naturally wants to take care of you, but you also have to be a bit like an uncle, and you are not allowed to mess around like this in the future." ”
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "Niangniang, the eldest brother and that Liu Chengfeng have already agreed, don't worry about it." ”
Zhang Heling had a bitter face and said, "What treasure do you want the emperor to reward?" It is better to simply give some silver. When he said this, the old face couldn't help but blush. But then again, usually the reward in the palace is either a book or a pearl, this thing is a gift, can not be sold or eaten, can only be stacked in the warehouse moldy, and now he plays mahjong by himself and owes Liu Chengfeng a debt. Although Zhang Heling is not very kind, but it is a matter of course to repay debts, and at this time, he thought that his sister could reward him with some real money and silver, and give him a flower.
When Empress Zhang heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned: "What? Crane Ling is short of money to spend? You have so many granges. How is it not enough to overhead? ”
Zhang Heling smiled bitterly, he didn't know how to answer for a while, if he didn't say enough, Queen Zhang would definitely reprimand him for being extravagant, but if he said enough, he couldn't do it, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
It was Zhang Yanling who relieved him, and said with a smile: "That's the case, didn't that Liu Chengfeng offend the eldest brother?" Now everyone is okay, but well, this Liu Chengfeng said that he wanted to do some business, in fact, doing business is a cheap business, we also know about this, but it's not bad to enter some shares, but this principal is ......"
Empress Zhang couldn't help but be surprised: "Liu Chengfeng wants to do business again?" But there's nothing wrong with doing business, and you're on your own. Just like the Xueer newspaper he opened in the past, the palace looks very good, and they all say that doing business is a cheap business, but who reads those newspapers and writes articles for the newspapers, which one is not a reader? Not only is this not tacky, but it is very elegant, and it can not only earn money, but also gain fame, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. What about you, you are the royal family, it stands to reason that the court can't give you errands, so it is also difficult for you, so that you usually have nothing to do, now since you want to do some business with Liu Chengfeng, then do it, if the principal is not enough, just come to the palace to get it. ”
Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were overjoyed when they heard this, at this time, the principal of two thousand taels of silver for the two of them was settled, and the two of them were still arguing about whether to buy shares or not, and now since my sister is willing to pay for the silver, there is no need for this argument.
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "Sister, if you really make money, we will pay you back as soon as possible." ”
"Borrowing money? Who is going to borrow money......"
At this time, Zhu Youzhang's voice came from outside Kunning Palace, Zhu Youzhu had just come back from noon, and his spirit was fine, Empress Zhang was startled by him, and then lost her laughter, and hurriedly went over to give Zhu Youzhu a crown and took off the crown of Tongtian, this pair of brothers was still a little afraid of Zhu Youzhang, and hurriedly saluted: "Weichen has seen Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Youzhu waved his hand with a smile and said, "It's all your own people, you don't have to be polite, by the way, what did you say about borrowing money?" Is Heling going to borrow silver? Heling, isn't the hundreds of farms I gave you enough to cover your expenses? You're using too much. ”
Zhang Heling was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, but Queen Zhang relieved him and said with a smile: "It's not that he doesn't have enough expenses, but he heard that Liu Chengfeng wants to do some business, so he wants to join the shares. ”
Zhu Youjiao's face softened, and he smiled faintly: "Oh? What kind of business does Liu Chengfeng want to do? ”
Zhang Heling Ai said: "Tea ...... Tea shop ......"
When he said this answer, even Zhang Heling was a little unconfident, if the emperor saw Liu Chengfeng's tea shop, he would probably laugh and follow that Liu Chengfeng to go crazy.
Zhu Youzhu did not pursue the matter of the tea shop, but said with a smile: "Tea shop? Is it the treasure building in the newspaper this morning? Yes, most of it is it, it is said that it will open in three days, there is nothing wrong with opening a tea shop, if you are interested, just join a share, by the way, queen, anyway, I have some free time these days, and I have neglected the queen for so long, it is better to go three days later, let's go and see together, but to see what Liu Chengfeng's tea shop looks like, besides, your Zhang brothers have also become shareholders, and it is also our own industry, and the right is to go out to relax, and take a look at the business by the way. ”
Empress Zhang said in surprise: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, the holy car will come over and disturb the people." ”
Zhu Youzhu said: "Naturally, you can't take Luan to go, plainclothes is, in fact, it's not a big deal, when the time comes, just bring a few more guards, this ordinary person walks outside the palace day and night and doesn't see any accidents, what's the problem with me taking so many guards?" ”
Empress Zhang said: "If this is the case, I'm afraid I can't talk to the cabinet, otherwise I will definitely make trouble, speaking of which, since the concubine entered the Forbidden City with His Majesty, in addition to going home once a year, she has never left the palace gate for half a step, which is really boring, and it is good to go out for a walk with Your Majesty." ”
The couple had a very happy conversation, but Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were startled, and they were thinking: out of the palace...... Go to the tea shop...... My mother, can you also watch the tea shop? When the time comes, let them see, and they don't know how to make fun of them in the future.
Both of them had a bitter face, but then again, it's too late to persuade even if they want to.
"Liu Chengfeng, this guy, if he messes things up at that time, our Zhang family will have to accompany him and lose face, hey......"
Both of them thought to themselves, and they both sighed secretly in unison. (To be continued)
