Under the care of Yang Zhi, Sihailou's business is becoming more and more prosperous day by day, and it can reach a new level almost every month. In the eyes of outsiders, this young master of the Yang family has a diametrically opposite temper to the old man, always with a lazy smile that makes people feel kind, generous and humble, and does not have the slightest bit of a rich young master.

Yang Zhi not only greatly improved the Yang family's previously despised public image, but his way of being a person and doing business also touched Yang Yan a lot: Are the things I did in the past really so hateful?

At the same time, Yang Yan began to worry about another matter. This night, I discussed with Yang Zhi: "Zhi'er, you have run Sihailou very well in the past few months, and you have earned money and face for our old Yang family, I feel very grateful." But Dad has always remembered something more important than business in his heart, and wants you to take a few days to come out to Luzhou. ”

"What are you doing in Luzhou?"

Yang Yan sighed: "Son, our Yang family's heirs are thin, and my father only has you as a single seedling." There are three so-called unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater. You'll be eighteen in the New Year, and it's time to get married. If my father can hold his grandson as soon as possible, he will also have a wish. When I was young, I went to Luzhou and booked a family affair with the old Shen family in Dongcheng. Although the Shen family is a dilapidated official family, it is also a scholarly family with a solid family. ”

"In the early years, the two families moved around a lot, and since you fell ill when you were ten years old, they have rarely interacted with each other. A few years ago, you were sick, and you were still young, so I didn't mention it to the Shen family. I estimated that the Shen family was afraid that they would regret it, so I wanted you to pretend to be a merchant passing through Luzhou and go to the door to find out. ”

In Yang Zhi's view, for a seventeen-year-old young man, marriage is still a very distant thing, and he didn't expect to go there at all. said with a bitter face: "Dad, think about it, who wants to marry their daughter to a fool?" The two families have not been in contact for many years, and the girl may have married a long time ago. Besides, I'm too early to get married now, so let's talk about it in a few years! ”

"No! You have to listen to your dad about this! Not only are you sick now, but you are also a good person, who dares to say that you are a fool? In fact, I am not unfamiliar with this family business, but if someone regrets the marriage, then it is not our Yang family's fault. If the other party is willing, it is best, if you are unwilling and not reluctant, your father should ask someone to find another match for you as soon as possible. ”

“…… Then you don't have to go all the way to Luzhou! Why don't you just send a letter and ask? ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "That's what I said." It takes five or six days to go back and forth from Xinyang to Luzhou at the earliest, and it takes a lot of entanglement on the road. This matter can't be delayed any longer, I'll ask my master to write a letter tonight! ”

Only then did Yang Zhi realize that he was still shouldering the grim task of inheriting the Yang family! Now it can only be delayed for one day. Even if the wife in Luzhou is willing, she can't ask for it. I don't even know whether the other party is round or flat, so I want to marry back and live a lifetime in a daze, which is called harming others and myself!

Unexpectedly, Yang Yan's letter was sent to Luzhou for nearly a month, and there was still no reply. Yang Yan was so anxious that he jumped up and scolded his mother, but Yang Zhi was just happy.

In July of the twenty-fourth year of the Xia calendar, Great Xia promised to pay a number of tributes to the Turks every year, and the peace agreement was concluded, and the Turks withdrew from Shuofang. In September of the same year, the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty got married, and Emperor Xia sent an envoy to Jinling to congratulate him, wanting to reconcile with the Southern Tang Dynasty. Since Emperor Xia's second son, King Ning Li Dang, led his army to capture Suizhou, Southern Chu has been on the defensive.

There is no war in the vicinity of Great Xia, and the people sincerely hope to live a quiet life for two years. Yang Zhi was not so optimistic, and during this time, he was wandering the streets almost every day, and he was conducting a very important price survey.

In the afternoon of that day, Yang Zhi was analyzing and sorting out the investigation data at home, and a junior from Sihailou came to him in a panic and said, "Young master, it's not good!" Someone comes to the store to make trouble, the shopkeeper asks you to go quickly. ”

Sihailou, which was originally not salty or light, suddenly had a booming business, and it was inevitable that some people would be red-eyed. Usually, there are often ruffians who come to the door to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, which is nothing more than knocking on some bamboo poles and mixing a few meals and drinks. Yang Zhi is a long-term plan, and he doesn't want to dwell too much on these trivial things, as long as it is not too much, the requirements of the ruffians can usually be satisfied. The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling face person, came and went, and fell into a good reputation of boldness and righteousness.

"What are you panicking about? At most, give them a meal to eat and drink, and send them away quickly, so as not to affect our evening business. ”

"The shopkeeper didn't want to alarm you, and he did as you just said. But...... No, young master. ”

Yang Zhi frowned and asked, "Oh? Tell me, what's going on? ”

"Young master, these two people are clearly here to find the ballast. It's two young people who look about the same age as you, and from the accent, they don't look like locals. The two asked for a private room on the third floor, and before they entered the door, they thought that it was not clean here and there, and the tea was either too cold or too hot. After serving, it was obviously a good Daqu, but it was said that it was mixed with water, and the dish was either light or salty. The tea, wine and food have been changed several times, and it is still the same. One of the young men asked the boss to apologize by name, or else...... So they smashed the shop. ”

Yang Zhi couldn't help but be a little annoyed: two outsiders dared to come to the door to toss like this, and the strong dragon didn't suppress the head snake! What are they? He lowered his face and said, "Let's go!" Check it out! ”

When Yang Zhi rushed to the private room on the third floor of Sihai Building, he saw a person pacing around angrily, and a person drinking tea leisurely with a smile. Yang Zhiwei arched his hand and said: "Below is Yang Zhi, the young owner of Sihailou, and I have seen two sons. ”

The tea drinker stood up, and the other stopped. The two glanced at each other, stared at Yang Zhi together for a long time, and the slightly thin young man raised his head very impolitely and asked, "You are Yang Zhi?" ”

The man was fair-skinned and had no Adam's apple, his chest was noticeably fuller than that of an ordinary man, his buttocks were wide, and his earlobes were pierced. Yang Zhi saw at a glance that she was a Xibei woman dressed as a man, and said quietly: "It's like a fake." The wine and food in the small shop are vulgar, and it is difficult to enter the eyes of the two. Although I don't know each other, I'm ashamed. Since the two of you have come from afar, please give me some thin noodles with your face, and I will apologize for this meal, how about it? ”

Yang Zhi's words gave the two of them enough face, if they didn't know how to go down the stairs, then they would have to accompany them if they wanted to fight or kill.

The thin young man ignored the glances given to her by her companion and said contemptuously, "Who rarely let you have a treat?" Why should we give you face? ”

Yang Zhi pondered, my father has done those immoral things for so many years, and the two of them are here for the old man. smiled: "Those two are here today because they have made a special trip to find my bad luck in Sihailou." I don't know what my father or has offended in the future, but I hope the two of you will say it clearly. ”
