Chapter 168: An Embroidered Shoe
Yang Ping continued: "Of course, this price is really expensive. However, if the price is pushed too low, it will ruin the business of peers and be boycotted, and the future business will not be good. ”
Not all businessmen are like Changjiabao, who can be self-sufficient and have strong military and financial backing.
Ordinary merchants, as long as there are one or two forks in the road of goods delivery, I am afraid that they will not be able to bear it and close their doors.
Chang Qianfo said: "As Uncle Yang said, that shopkeeper Song is a capable person, even if his business is affected for a while, he can settle it when he wants to." As for the Yingshui Wen family, they will not be afraid of these local snakes. ”
In the final analysis, no matter how kind the two families are, they are also businessmen, and businessmen do not take profits.
Chang Qianfo was not afraid of them seeking profit, but he was afraid that they would have nothing to ask for, so he pondered for a moment and said:
"In this way, Uncle Ling took the time to go to the official office, and asked Su Hongyu to call on the rich to donate grain in the name of the imperial court, and give him a package ticket, as long as he is willing to come forward to organize, I guarantee that he can raise food, even if he can't raise it, Huairentang can make up for this gap for him."
However, there is one point that the attitude of the government must be tough, and if there are large and stingy households who are unwilling to donate grain, they must send people to build fortifications on the embankment, and enforce a batch of them, and the rest can be bluffed.
On the other hand, I will personally go and talk to Taiyu and Dao Fengnian's shopkeepers tomorrow and persuade them to take the lead in donating. The problem of the hungry will be solved. ”
Ling Fu said: "That's very good. Lao Yang, you work hard, collect the relevant information of Taiyu and Dao Fengnian, sort it out tonight, and let Gongzi take a look. ”
Chang Qianfo smiled: "It's still Uncle Ling who thinks thoughtfully. ”
Yang Ping smiled and agreed, stood up with Ling Fu, and was about to say goodbye, when he saw Li Xiaoxiao striding in with a jujube gift box. The ponytail is high, the red clothes are sassy, and he has a heroic posture that even men are ashamed of.
Seeing that the two elders were there, Li Xiaoxiao smiled and called, "Uncle Ling! Uncle Yang! ”
There are many elders in Changjiabao, and the children of each family are together, and some people call the same person "uncle", some people call "uncle", the older children are fine, and the younger ones are simply dizzy.
Later, it was proposed that no matter how young or old, they should all be called uncles. Only some elders who are really old, like Fu Bo around Chang Jihai and Uncle Zhang, in order to show respect, they are commensurate with Bo.
Li Xiaoxiao has a hearty temperament, Yang Ping likes this eldest niece with a different surname very much, and laughs happily at the moment, and quipped: "What are you carrying here?" But a gift for your eldest brother? ”
Li Xiao smiled and said, "It's true that the gift is fake, but I didn't give it." It was a patient's family who specially sent it to the front hall to thank the eldest brother. I was just about to come to change the four dressings, so I brought them with me. ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward, put the gift box on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Big brother, open it and take a look." The man said mysteriously, saying that this gift was not good for others, and that he wanted my eldest brother to open it himself, which made me a little curious. ”
After all, Ling Fu is a person who has been rolling in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has seen more conspiracy methods, so he is more cautious.
With such a large gift box, it is enough to set up a mechanism in it, not to mention the poison hidden weapon and other means of hurting people.
quietly took a step forward and said with a smile: "So I'll take a look at what it is."
Grabbing the lid of the box, he paused in mid-air.
Li Xiaoxiao saw Ling Fu's face frozen, and he didn't know what was going on, and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Leaning over to take a look, I saw that there was an embroidered cloth shoe in the exquisitely framed gift box, and the tip of the shoe was broken with a large hole. The flowers are mixed flowers, demon peaches and plums, willow catkins chasing the wind, floating lotus stamens, a mess and mess.
It is the meaning of floating flowers and waves.
Chang Qianfo's face was pale.
Li Xiaoxiao's face also changed, and her eyes were full of anger. She has always been simple-minded and frank, how could she have thought that someone would have such a filthy mind and use such vicious means to humiliate people.
Without waiting for Chang Qianfo to speak, Ling Fu pressed his hand down, closed the lid of the gift box, and said in a deep voice: "Go and call Lou Zhong." ”
The iron guards were guarding the council chamber, and Antiru went out for a moment before coming in with Lou Zhong.
Although Lou Zhong is ugly, he has a smart mind, a noble character, and a calm temperament, and he was favored by Liangqing and Yumin early on, and planned to train him to be his successor.
With the deliberate cultivation of Liangqing and Yumin, Lou Zhong has made rapid progress, and many things have been able to replace Liangqing to handle independently.
Ordinary trivial things, Ling Fu would not look for him at all.
As soon as Lou Zhong heard An Tiru say that Ling Fu was looking for him, he didn't dare to slack off for a moment, and quickly followed.
Before you even enter the door, you can feel the dull and oppressive atmosphere in the room. Chang Qianfo stood in the center of the hall with a blushing face, his right hand clenched into a fist, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were raised.
It's moving, I'm really angry.
Ling Fu didn't wait for Lou Zhong to step into the door, so he hurriedly greeted him.
He was going to deal with this matter in front of Chang Qianfo.
Chang Qianfo's love for Mu Dianke is clear. Yesterday, just because she suffered a little skin injury, Chang Qianfo almost recklessly killed Tan Mansion in a fit of rage.
This time Mu Dian can be so humiliated, that is, he can't stand it as an outsider, how can Chang Qianfo tolerate it?
Anger is easy to make mistakes, and it is more appropriate for him to deal with it.
Ling Fu handed the gift box to Lou Zhong and said, "You immediately take this box to the front hall, check it out, and find the person who gave the gift." What the person's intentions were, and whether there was someone behind it, all had to be interrogated clearly, and there was no need to show mercy. ”
Lou Zhong responded: "Yes." ”
Ling Fu pressed the lid of the box with his palm, quite solemnly, and said: "What is in this box, you can only know it, and you don't need to show it to others." ”
Lou Zhong was ordered to leave.
There was an eerie silence in the hall.
Ling Fu knew that this matter could not be solved, leaving him embarrassed, and instructed Li Xiao to smile: "Xiaoxiao, you stay with your eldest brother." ”
turned his head and called Yang Ping: "Let's go, Lao Yang, we have to hurry up on the thing we talked about in the morning." ”
Yang Ping couldn't ask for it, so he walked out: "There is another thing, Yang Ye's kid told me at noon that he would buy a house around Huairentang and turn it into a medical garden, and we have to sum it up."
The second elder went out as he spoke.
Li Xiaoxiao saw that Chang Qianfo's face was terrifying, and he must have been very angry when he thought about it, so he turned around and poured a glass of water and handed it over, explaining:
"Big brother doesn't have to be angry, it's just some villains with ulterior motives, using some pickling methods to respond to people. If the eldest brother is really angry, he will fall into their way. ”
That makes sense.
Chang Qianfo is not a person who can't see it, but when he thinks of how many pairs of quenched eyes are staring at Mu Dianke in the dark, and he wants to harm her anytime and anywhere, his heart tightens.
It's just that the current anti-plague task is heavy, and there is no room for half a point difference, and it is not the time for liquidation.
