Chapter 249: You've Caused Trouble
Who wants to talk to her about business?
Qiao Zhengyuan stared at the tea in the cup in front of him, and the girl opposite was dressed in a blacksmith's robe and had not yet been changed, sitting calmly opposite him, drinking tea.
"Master Qiao, things here have always been good." The girl put down the teacup in her hand and looked at him with a smile.
She was at ease, but now with him, a guest was more at ease than his host.
"There are countless people who are killed or injured in playing polo in Chang'an every year, although there are also ordinary families who have won the eyes of those powerful people with their first-hand skills, but those who can play polo, especially in places like Huiyuan, are deployed from ordinary families." Qiao Ran picked up the half-beaten mold on the table and carefully rubbed the holes left on the mold, "This is for inlaying gold, silver and jade!" Master Qiao's hand is ready to do those powerful businesses, right? ”
I guessed this, and naturally there was no need to hide it anymore, Master Qiao nodded: "What you said is good." ”
This is also the most important move he is going to use to open the business of the Chang'an City.
How about being famous in Jinling, if you change places, you will naturally have to start again. What he lacks is not the two cars and horses, but an opportunity to gain a long-term foothold in Chang'an City.
"The idea is very good, but isn't Master Qiao afraid of being cut off halfway or secretly manipulated?" Qiao Ran played with the mold in his hand, looked at him, and said meaningfully, "The villain is difficult to guard!" ”
"I know what you say." Qiao Zhengyuan looked at the girl in front of him, and was in a trance for a while, as if sitting opposite was a veteran who had been involved in business for many years.
Her deeds, the whole Jinling is afraid that everyone knows about it, and she has never been in contact with such a thing as doing business.
Is this a legendary talent? Qiao Zhengyuan's face was a little delicate, and many thoughts flashed in his mind for a while, but after a while, he still nodded at her slightly, and said, "There are villains everywhere, this is inevitable." ”
After so many years of rolling over the business field, have you met fewer villains?
"The only thing to be thankful for is that Chang'an's laws are strict, and it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, as long as you don't get in the way of others and be cautious, there will probably be nothing wrong." Qiao Zhengyuan said.
It's just that when the time comes, it will inevitably be constrained, but this is also inevitable.
"Master Qiao thinks very well," the girl said affirmatively, "but there are exceptions to everything, I remember that a few days ago, Master Qiao did something in order to attract attention in Chang'an City." ”
Qiao Zhengyuan's side may be lacking, but money is never lacking.
So in order to make the first name in Chang'an City, he naturally chose to spend money.
The way he threw money was also interesting, set a limit of three days, and used 3,000 gold as a note to let people compose poems in the Hewen Museum, where literati and ink writers gathered in Chang'an City, and then let the people in the Hewen Museum evaluate the best poems, and the 3,000 gold was awarded to the owner of the best poems.
This practice spread among the literati in Chang'an for a while, and many people knew that the richest man in Jinling was a rich man, who did not understand poetry and literature, but was vassally elegant, of course, Qiao Zhengyuan was not really vassally elegant. If he really likes any poetry, he won't be silent in Jinling. He just wanted the name Qiao Zhengyuan to be known to more people.
Then he evaluated the poem or something, Qiao Zhengyuan didn't pay attention to it, and just gave money.
This is the matter that Dr. Feng mentioned drunken before, "Qiao Zhengyuan has a lot of fame among Chang'an businessmen these days".
"Any questions?" Qiao Zhengyuan asked her, "I haven't heard anything about what happened. ”
"Not really." The girl nodded, looked at him, paused for a moment, and spoke again, "Not yet." ”
"What do you mean?" Qiao Zhengyuan's brows furrowed.
For some reason, the words that came out of her mouth, no matter how incredible, felt like they were true. For example, in Jinling, before the incident happened, who would have thought that she would fight the old lady of the Fang family?
"Who is the one who got the 3,000 gold, can Master Qiao remember?" Qiao Zhengyuan thought for a while and said, "Feng ...... I remember the surname Feng, oh, Feng Jincai. ”
"Do you know who he is?"
Qiao Zhengyuan shook his head: He doesn't understand this, and he doesn't care about this, so he finally decides this person and gives money to others. He is used to measuring things by doing business, and it couldn't be simpler to have both money and goods.
"The king of Wu'an County has a very favored side concubine, and she loves her so much that this side concubine is just an ordinary woman, but she was exceptionally mentioned to the position of the side concubine, this Feng Jin is the only younger brother of this side concubine, and the relationship between the sister and brother is very good."
Qiao Zhengyuan let out an "oh" and looked at her, although he didn't know what she was doing when she suddenly mentioned this, but she didn't think she was idle enough to run over and talk nonsense with him, saying that there should be a reason for this.
"Feng Jincai's poems were rated as the best by 211 people, and do you know whose poems were rated as the best by 210 people?"
Qiao Zhengyuan shook his head, how could he pay attention to this?
"The second in line is called Zhou Kai, and he is the nephew of the Great Governor Zhou Shilin." Qiao Ran said.
"So what?" He hasn't seen these complicated relationships yet, after all, there are so many big and small officials in Chang'an City, and just listening to them is big.
"It's a big deal." Qiao Ran said, "Zhou Shilin's daughter is the concubine of the king of Wu'an. ”
Qiao Zhengyuan was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly said: "It turned out to be a competition for favor between the concubines of the king of Wu'an County, what does this have to do with me?" I just calculated according to the number of people evaluated, Feng Jin is one more person than Zhou Kai, so naturally he wins. ”
"But Zhou Kai complained to the Hewenguan before, saying that Feng Jincai found someone to come to the evaluation, and Hewenguan naturally knew about the disagreement between the two early on, so he found an excuse and asked him to find out the three-thousand-gold Master Qiao, do you know about it?"
Qiao Zhengyuan's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "I haven't heard of this at all!" ”
"It's normal that you haven't heard about it, because no one reported this matter to you, Master Qiao, and the letter Zhou Kai wrote to you was intercepted." The girl said and took out a crumpled letter from her sleeve and put it on the table, "Coincidentally, the person who took the letter gave him a large sum of money because of Feng Jincai, and he went to the tavern to drink in a happy way, but he was beaten and imprisoned, and then the letter went to the hands of Dali Temple." ”
Qiao Zhengyuan's face became more and more ugly, so many things have happened behind this, but he has not received any news until now, how is this possible?
Although he is known as the richest man in Jinling, he is just a foreigner with a little money when he comes to Chang'an, and he has no power at all.
Fools know that persimmons pick soft pinch, and he himself is a soft persimmon right now.
"So, Master Qiao, do you think it doesn't matter if you're careful? Actually, you're in trouble! Qiao Ran said, "No matter how big or small things are, the competition between women for favor will lead to big disasters." ”
