Chapter Twenty-Six: The Olive Branch Covered with Thorns

The ruined and dilapidated house was replaced by a mansion, but the Xie family's "family of three" still lived in the same room and slept on the same kang.

Although Fangze's plan failed to be achieved, at least a phased breakthrough was made, and the sister-in-law's attitude finally changed.

Although the two months have been a little difficult, there is finally a hope, and it will not be far away.

This requirement for Du's family, as well as the way of filial piety, should still be respected. Xie Yi had no choice but to suppress the flame in his heart, and after surviving the difficult two months, the bright spring came.

In order to avoid defaulting on the debt, under Xie Yi's "coercion and temptation", Du Shi failed to move out, and still slept with the kang, a few feet apart.

Dry firewood is always available, so as to ensure that the spirits are burning, and the charming atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, and it will naturally come into effect when the time comes. In order to avoid accidents or release pigeons.

In this way, it would be nice if the gun went off in advance.

However, Du Shi's attitude was resolute, and Xie Yi had no choice but to obediently abide by the agreement. However, since the two-month appointment, there have been many more opportunities to make some jokes that are a little too much and behave a little more intimately.

Although Du Shi was annoyed and scolded a few words, most of the time, he blushed with shame, and the result could only make Xie Yi even worse.

Inside the house, above the hot kang, the atmosphere is becoming more and more beautiful, except that the last layer of "window paper" has not been pierced.

However, Xie Yi, who was in a happy mood, did not notice that when no one was around, Du Shi always sat in front of the window and looked at the sky blankly. Sometimes smiling sweetly, sometimes blushing shyly, sometimes sad and sad......

……

Qionghua brewing sells very well, and it can already be called popular.

In Chenzhou City, there are not many people who ask about the original elegant rice wine and fruit wine. Qionghua has become the first choice for New Year's hospitality, and it is a must-have for wine tasting in restaurants.

With the exchange of merchants and merchants, it has gradually spread to nearby places. North to Luoyang, south to Yangzhou, Danyang have been heard, and there are not a few admirers.

Before the Shangyuan Festival, in less than a month, Lu's firm made a lot of money, and half of the money also flowed into Xie Yi's pocket.

In the full moon time, the era of being surrounded by walls and having no money is gone, and Xie Yi has become a wealthy man.

Lu Tong, who was smiling from ear to ear, was not satisfied with this, and was expanding the workshop on a large scale to ensure sales after the Shangyuan Festival, as well as opening up new markets.

Even if it was the New Year's Day, there was no work stoppage, as a benevolent boss, although Datang did not say that the salary was triple on holidays, Xie Yi and Lu Tong still gave generous remuneration and rewards.

Yuezhou has taken over the business of porcelain bottle firing, and began to work overtime to make embryo firing, and there will be celadon wine on the market in February and March.

Everything was carried out in an orderly manner, but Lu Tong took precautions and said: "Gongzi Xie, although it has been expanded, I am afraid that the workshop is still not enough......"

"What? Lu Dongzhu plans to continue to expand? ”

"At the current scale, the amount of alcohol produced can only barely supply all parts of Jianghuai, and other places may ...... I don't know what Gongzi Xie has planned? Lu Tong felt that Xie Yi had something to say, so he cautiously consulted for advice, and in the wine business, he always took Xie Yi as the leader.

"Well, expansion is necessary, but..."Xie Yi said: "However, the new workshop does not necessarily have to be built in Chenzhou, if you think about it, it costs a lot to transport goods from Chenzhou to all parts of the country...... For the same liter of wine, the price of Chang'an may be two or three times that of Chenzhou, is that good? ”

"Yes...... Lu Tong nodded and said, "The price is too high, and it is not conducive to selling." ”

Xie Yi sighed: "Not only that, food is the foundation of the country, when the price of a liter of wine is several times that of a liter of grain, I am afraid that the government will also intervene." ”

"Yes, yes, then Gongzi Xie has a solution?"

In this way, the whole country is divided into regions, and workshops are built in different regions, such as the Chenzhou workshop to supply Lianghuai. Danyang workshop supplies Jiangnan like this. ”

Xie Yi said: "Chang'an, Luoyang, Jinyang and other northern capitals are also the top priority, you can choose a place with high-quality water sources and convenient water and drought roads to build workshops, brew on the spot, and sell on the spot." ”

"Yes, yes, what should I do, what Mr. Xie said is very true, so that the transportation cost can be reduced, the price is low, and the profit is small but the sales are high." Lu Tong was a shrewd businessman, and he immediately understood the truth.

Xie Yi smiled: "Well, come here and there!" ”

"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Xie, the old man will do his best." Thinking about the broad prospects of business and the huge profits, Lu Tong is old and strong, full of energy.

……

The business is well arranged, and the Shangyuan Festival is approaching.

At this time, although Huaiyang is not as lively as Chang'an, there are also some places to play, after all, it is a festival day, so it is better to celebrate.

Xie Yi's original plan was to take his sister-in-law and sister out to play together and enhance their relationship. It's a pity that before he could go out, an invitation was sent to the Xie family's old house, signed by Helan Chushi.

I do this again, and every time I don't pick a good time, I disturb people and good things.

Xie Yi had to curse a few words secretly, but it was just the east bed of the Assassin Mansion, and the invitation of the henchmen of the East Palace was openly refused.

At present, the wine business is getting better and better, and the contradictions and antagonisms between the Zheng family are becoming more and more strict, and at this time, it is necessary to rely on some strength.

Therefore, it is necessary to make false promises with Hou Junji and Helan Chushi and others to maintain a good relationship, and this date still has to go. As for the location, it is still in the Red Mansion.

Recently, for more than a month, the business of the Red Mansion has been extremely hot, and there are thousands of Lian'er sitting in the town overnight, and there are countless P customers who come here. It's just that for more than half a month, no one has seen Lian'er's face at all.

After inquiring in detail, it is said that he was booked by a high roller for half a month. Others don't know, but Xie Yi knows in his heart that it must be Helan Chushi, but the person who paid is Zheng Bin.

Helan Chushi passed half a month of ecstasy, and it wasn't until his old father-in-law Hou Junji mentioned that he reluctantly left the pink boudoir.

Lian'er, who just got free, has no rest time at all, without it, there are already hundreds of rich P guests queuing up behind it, all of them holding real money, but they want to see the beauty and spend the long night together.

I have to say that the taste of the Tang Dynasty and the rich is really ...... Gee!

The old/bustard sees the money, and he doesn't understand any brand maintenance, hunger marketing and other truths, almost no one refuses, and Lian'er is not hard in the meantime. It wasn't until the sunflower turned red that I had to rest for a few days, and it didn't stop completely until the day of Shangyuan.

The original intention of the old bustard is to take advantage of the full moon and the beautiful scenery of the good day to make a good profit. Unfortunately, Helan Chushi and Xie Yi came. Lian'er didn't say a word, pushed away the other guests, and went to serve the two benefactors, and didn't take a penny.

The old/bustard had a lot of pain, but after thinking about it, he recognized the identities of the two. Lian'er is even more attentive, after all, one is the first man to occupy her body; The other is the benefactor who has achieved her current status, and she serves as a good student.

When Helan Chushi saw the wonderful people of the past, his heart was filled with a different taste, but he remembered his father-in-law's advice, so he had to suppress his thoughts.

"This woman is a stunner, on the couch...... Ahem, can San Lang have a heart for Fangze? Helan Chushi immediately turned into a leather/tiaoke and sold to Xie Yi.

Lian'er on the side had a hint of shyness on the scene, looking at Xie Yi's handsome face, she was very willing to thank her.

Belch......

Xie Yi laughed dryly in his heart, although Lian'er said that she was a little beautiful, she didn't know how many men she had been under in the past few days. Such a woman really has no intention of suffering!

And Helan Chushi, what do you mean, humiliating people? Who's going to do this kind of brother-in-law with you?

Xie Yi was a little angry in his heart, and said with a calm face: "I understand the kindness, but my father's death has not passed, and I am still in the process of filial piety, so I ......"

"Oh, I see, San Lang is really sincere and filial." Helan Chushi laughed dryly.

Lian'er didn't seem to give up, and said leisurely: "The slave family is waiting for the son, and after the death of the honorable man, he should serve the pillow with all his heart." ”

Ahem! Do you want to be so direct? Xie Yi sneered in his heart, after Daddy's death, there are naturally people waiting for the pillow at home, which can be compared to a vulgar fan like you?

"Okay, Lian'er go first, I'll drink and talk with San Lang." Helan Chushi waved his hand, and Lian'er reluctantly left, not forgetting to throw two winks when leaving.

……

"San Lang, has Qionghua been selling well lately?"

Xie Yi's expression froze slightly, and he smiled: "It's okay." ”

"San Lang is not only talented, but also has a wonderful idea and a good way of doing business!" Helan Chushi praised repeatedly.

"Helan's guards praised it."

"What are San Lang's plans in the future, do you have the heart to go to Chang'an? At the age of tomorrow, the imperial court will open a department, and with Saburo's background and talent, he must be in high school. ”

Xie Yi sneered, "Uh...... For the time being, I don't have the idea of leaving my hometown. ”

"Are you going to live in Chenzhou for a long time?" Helan Chushi smiled: "Then you can't concentrate on business matters, right?" There is still a vacancy in the Assassin's Mansion, can San Lang have the heart to experience first? ”

Is that what he came for?

There is no doubt that Helan Chushi has extended an olive branch on behalf of the crown prince and Hou Junji. Xie Yi was a little puzzled, could it be that Li Chengqian and Hou Junji haven't come together yet?

This is not important, the key is in the future, when he thought of their deeds and fate, Xie Yi felt a chill in his back.

Helan Chushi handed over an olive branch, yes, but there were thorns on it, as a person with "see-through eyes", wouldn't it be stupid to reach out and hold it?
