Chapter 185: Not an ordinary commodity
Fang Yingwu walked to the Deyi Building in a car, but after all, the distance was not far, and it was still not slow. When he entered the Proud Building, there were already a number of dishes in the Accord, but he had not yet moved, apparently waiting for him.
Fang Yingwu and the other three said a few polite words, and after apologizing for being late, they entered the table. He and Mr. Zhang sat on one side, while Tang Steward and Wang De and Wang Yuanwai sat on the other side.
Mr. Zhang, a scholar, was romantic, and called a few fans who accompanied the wine to come in, one by one's side, and accompanied everyone to eat, drink and talk.
Fang Yingwu has not been close to women for a long time, and the turmoil in his heart is needless to mention, but his willpower is not bad, and he refuses to come to his side.
The reason is that Wang De is still watching here, he is not only the father of Wang Xiaoniang, but also the elder of his fellow villagers, Fang Yingwu's skin is not thick enough to laugh and eat wine with prostitutes in front of him.
Eating and running errands are often combined, but generally at the beginning of the meal when it is not about business, it is usually always at the end of the meal that a few words of topic are discussed.
Even if you can't wait for the end, it will have to wait until the middle of the banquet when everyone is drunk and hot after a few rounds of drinking. Otherwise, it will seem a little less subtle and too utilitarian.
But in today's Accord in the proud building, Wang De is a little anxious, after all, this deal with the political envoy Si Lufu is too rare, and it is really difficult to say whether there will be such an opportunity next time.
So after the four of them had drunk for three rounds during the banquet, Wang De took the initiative to raise the conversation and asked carefully to Steward Tang, who was in charge of procurement affairs: "In yesterday's post, Steward Tang mentioned that your mansion needs silk?" ”
Steward Tang said unhurriedly: "My eldest lady of the Lu family is married." Of course, you need to use all kinds of silk satin, and not in small quantities. My lord spoke. The dowry must not be lost to the eldest lady and the dignity of the Lu family. ”
Wang De hurriedly said: "My Wang's silk and silk yarn are all of the highest quality. The suit is also good, and I dare to pack a ticket to Steward Tang. No matter how much it is, I am willing to sell the capital price to your mansion, and the profit saved can be regarded as congratulating the eldest lady of your mansion on her marriage. ”
Mr. Zhang, who was pulling the Four Books and Five Classics with Fang Yingwu, suddenly turned his head and said to Tang Guo and Wang De: "I suddenly remembered something, a few days ago, I heard that the Weaving Bureau issued an ultimatum to your Wang family, and asked your Wang family to hand over tribute within a time limit, or to levy your Wang family's small workers to serve in the Weaving Bureau.
Can your Wang family still run it? If you miss the great joy of the Lu Mansion because of this, wait until the wrath of Dong Weng Thunder. No one can afford that! ”
Steward Tang pretended to be surprised when he heard this, and said loudly: "There is such a thing? I didn't know beforehand, that's why I found your royal family, if that's the case, I shouldn't have come tonight. ”
Wang De was speechless for a while, and the Weaving Bureau was looking for trouble, which he couldn't deny if he wanted to. He said a few times: "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you hand it over to me, you will not make a mistake, and you are willing to write a contract!" ”
Wang De's idea is simple. If you still can't ship to Zuihou, then find a peer to transfer a batch of goods to fill the number. As for whether to make money or not, it is secondary, the key is to win this business.
Fang Yingwu watched coldly, Mr. Zhang and Steward Tang were just helping each other. It is estimated that the ultimate goal is to lead to the topic of the Weaving Bureau.
Sure enough, I saw that the Tang steward asked Mr. Zhang, "Mr. Zhang, you are an understanding person." What do you think? ”
Mr. Zhang pondered for a moment, "What Wang Yuanwai said is indeed good. But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if. For the sake of safety, I think it's better to find another home. ”
Wang De was in a hurry. was about to say something, but Steward Tang first helped him say a few good words: "Wang Yuanwai's family has a good reputation, and it is also famous outside Beiguan, and I think Wang Yuanwai is also a good person tonight." Don't bother the two masters, it's best if you can fix it in the Wang family this time.
In fact, the weaving bureau has not made trouble for people once or twice, and I heard that the old man is talking to the eunuch in the town. Mr. Zhang's status in the Lu Mansion is noble, why don't you go and talk to the lord for a few words, let the lord talk to Eunuch Li for a few words, and avoid making things difficult for the Wang family, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”
Wang De was in a happy mood, cast a deeply grateful glance at Steward Tang, and recited a few good words in his heart, thinking about how to not treat Steward Tang badly afterwards.
Mr. Zhang sighed and said, "You say that I am noble, but in fact, I am just a Qing guest raised by the Lu Mansion, and I am not all people who receive silver from the Lu Mansion?" What is the essential difference from a housekeeper like you?
Dong Weng came forward to intercede, and he owed others favors. It must be known that the money is easy to repay, but the favor is the most difficult to repay, how can I be qualified to say that I owe others favors? ”
This seemed to be very reasonable, and Manager Tang was speechless for a while, and then said helplessly: "Then there is no way to help?" ”
Wang De saw that Mr. Zhang pushed left and right, and refused to help him to say something, and his disappointment was overflowing. If this continues, today's business will be considered useless.
There is a risk that the weaving bureau will make things difficult, and the other two can't trust themselves at all. And they don't feel that they are worth letting the Lu Mansion consume favors, and helping them tide over the difficulties is something that outweighs the losses, which is a rational idea that normal people have.
After all, in the city of Hangzhou, there are not 100 but 80 companies in the silk industry. From their point of view, there is really no need to hang themselves on the tree of the Wang family, just change a supplier, and some businessmen come to find it.
Just as the atmosphere was dull, Mr. Zhang suddenly patted his forehead and exclaimed softly, "There is!" Don't worry, this matter may still turn around! ”
Wang Dezheng sighed to himself that he had recently memorized words, raised his head when he heard the words, and listened to Mr. Zhang continue to speak expectantly and worriedly.
Mr. Zhang smiled at Fang Yingwu and said: "My identity is a little worse, so naturally it is not good to open my mouth to Dong Weng, but there is a friend of Fang here, but he is a suitable person." As long as Friend Fang opened his mouth to Dong Weng and asked Dong Weng to come forward and talk to Eunuch Li, presumably Dong Weng would not refuse! ”
"He? Do you have the ability? Wang De didn't understand Mr. Zhang's proposal.
Fang Yingwu, who had been silent for a long time just now, smiled secretly in his heart, he really guessed right. Tonight, these two people are step by step, and now the fox's tail is finally exposed!
Probably from the beginning they were waiting to get the word here? It's really just to let yourself open your mouth to owe Lord Lu a favor, and then you can let yourself give back.
coughed to indicate that he appeared on the stage, and Fang Yingwu said lightly: "Mr. Zhang's words are inappropriate. I have never met Lord Lu in Xia, and I have no friendship at all. How can I talk to Lord Lu? ”
Mr. Zhang provided warm and thoughtful service, "If you don't dislike it." I can refer you to your friends. ”
Fang Yingwu still shook his head, "It's not proper, it's not proper, in the lower district, how can you dare to bother Lord Lu!" ”
Mr. Zhang daxiao a few times, and praised him very warmly: "Friend Fang, how can he be too humble!" After the Ru Ming Gate, the house of loyalty, poetry and literature also spread to Hangzhou, widely praised. It's a local celebrity!
What's more, Lord Lu has always admired each other's friends and Ling Zun very much, and praised that the father and son are the pillars of this dynasty, so Fang friends, please rest assured, you don't have to meet Lord Lu.
Moreover, in the matter of the Wang family, Friend Fang can go to ask Lord Lu, presumably Lord Lu is very willing to owe favors to Friend Fang. Wouldn't it be nice to have the best of both worlds? ”
The eyes of the woman who was accompanying the wine next to her lit up, and she asked softly, "Is Fang Gongzi really so good?" Master Zhang, you won't be exaggerating, right? ”
Mr. Zhang pretended to be angry and said, "What a little lady, don't you believe me!" In fact, half a point has not been exaggerated. This friend is very talented, and his poetry is also outstanding, and he will become famous sooner or later in the future. ”
The woman who accompanied the wine threw a wink at Fang Yingwu and giggled a few times. Jiao said in a coquettish voice: "Then I have to meet my son tonight, the slave family is really fortunate to have three lives, and I have also gained knowledge." ”
Mr. Zhang lifted the object. Wang De's heart is very complicated, this treatment is too bad, right? These two people shirked themselves in every way. They don't want to get into trouble, but they are very invited. A different face!
Steward Tang waited for Mr. Zhang to finish speaking, and then said: "Friend Fang and Wang Yuanwai are fellow villagers, and now if they reach out to help, who can not boast of righteousness?" Presumably, the king must be grateful to the outside! ”
Fang Yingwu was watching the fire, this Zhang and Tang boasted about it, and unconsciously set up themselves to help, and there were women coaxing beside them, which was a seamless cooperation.
If it weren't for the fact that he had investigated the inside story in advance, he would have been vigilant in his heart, and in this situation of even boasting, maybe he would really want to eat them, and use his own face to ask Lord Lu.
It is difficult for a normal young person to control himself in this atmosphere, and many impulsive and stupid things are done in this way. But he's the right thing!
If he went to ask Lu Bu's political envoy, it would be tantamount to owing him a favor, and if he asked for something, how could he refuse?
In the critical period of plotting to make the political envoy of Zuobu, Lord Lu's requirements are bound to be embarrassing, and he really can't easily participate in it, and if he doesn't get it right, he is not a person inside and out. For example, Lord Lu begged him to say good things to Shang Xianggong, did he agree or not?
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu looked around with the eyes of a cat and a mouse, got up and said, "I understand the kindness of the two, but there is no need to trouble Lord Lu." ”
Mr. Zhang was puzzled by Fang Yingwu's thoughts, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go back and rest! Tomorrow I will personally visit Eunuch Li. ”
Steward Tang was stunned, and Mr. Zhang was also stunned, if Fang Yingwu really had the ability to talk directly to Eunuch Li, then why bother to intercede through Lord Lu as an intermediary?
Steward Tang and Mr. Zhang glanced at each other, guessing that this was Fang Yingwu's bluffing technique?
Fang Yingwu said lightly: "I saw Eunuch Li the day before yesterday, so Eunuch Li personally admitted a lot, so I don't need to elaborate below, right?" ”
In fact, Li Yi, the eunuch guarding the town, did not admit anything, Fang Yingwu just drove a wedge between Lord Lu and Eunuch Li, and did not provoke anything.
Of course, Fang Yingwu didn't want to completely tear his face, so he didn't directly expose Lord Lu's tricks and save some face.
Mr. Zhang, the leader of tonight, couldn't help but be suspicious, what did Eunuch Li admit? Could it be that Fang Yingwu has already understood the truth?
Damn it! He didn't know such important information! Tonight is completely self-inflicted, one move is miscalculated, and the whole game is lost!
Those who dared to love him and Steward Tang jumped up and down, all of them were watched by Fang Yingwu in a monkey show! This young man is really good enough to sit still, and Zuihou can hold back without tearing his face until he reaches the point.
Seeing that Fang Yingwu didn't look back, he had already walked to the door, Mr. Zhang suddenly got up and stood up, and said loudly: "Friend Fang stays!" There is also a confidential matter below, please move to a secluded place to discuss. The stakes are very high, friends Fang, it's better to listen! ”
Fang Yingwu turned to look at Mr. Zhang, and found that the other party's expression was serious, not like empty words. Could it be that this is the main drama tonight?
Mr. Zhang also secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, if the first set of plans can be squared, why use the second set of plans? This party is really not an ordinary thing, and it must be treated with all its might. (To be continued......)
