Chapter Seventy-Six: Woman, You Succeeded in Getting My Attention
Hearing this, Yi Yan's iceberg face, which had not changed for thousands of years, finally rippled, revealing a slightly melancholy expression. But the expression disappeared in a flash, and his face returned to calm.
The corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a hint of mockery: "What if you are unwilling?" β
He Daoan couldn't help but feel a little remorseful in his heart, regretting that he shouldn't have brought up this topic.
Yi Yan's situation is different from him. His parents are still alive, and although the family disciplines him strictly, he still has family affection, is willing to care for him, and his means of fighting for power and profit are relatively gentle, so as not to hurt his life. But Yiyan's family has a stepmother and younger brother who want to compete for the position of the prince of Houfu, forcing him to fight as a child in order to survive, commit himself to the prince's companion, join the quagmire of the struggle for imperial power, and life and death are involuntary; Rao is so, his stepmother will order a family affair with a trap for him at some point, and let him get into trouble.
He Daoan wanted to say two words of apology, but seeing that Yi Yan's gaze had already returned to the book, and he didn't seem to care about what he just said, He Daoan shook his head with a smile, turned his head to Tang Liu, and said, "You're tired for a while, go home and rest for a while." Over there in Bacheng, you don't have to go anymore. β
He asked Tang Liu to inquire about Zhong Lingyu, not because he had any thoughts about her, but because she saw that she was a little girl who was so calculated and supported by others, but her cousin Sun Xuewen was ignorant and compassionate, so he sent Tang Liu to follow, and if there was anything that needed to be reached out, it was good to help. Of course, there was also Zhong Lingyu's performance in the tea garden, which made him a little interested in this girl, what kind of means would she use to eliminate her second uncle's calculations, now that the crisis has been lifted, He Daoan naturally does not want to send people to keep an eye on it, otherwise it will be worth the loss for Yi Yan to feel that he is interesting to the little girl, and Yi Yan will see the joke in plain terms.
The pond responded and retreated.
He Daoan looked at Yi Yan: "Let's go to the tea house to have a look?" β
The He family is an imperial merchant under the command of the eldest prince, mainly engaged in silk and ceramics business. In recent years, pineapple tea has become famous, and they have started a tea business. Before I went to Ba County, I went to check the situation of Songluo Mountain, and wanted to buy some tea plantations there. However, growing tea is lucrative, and people with tea gardens are reluctant to sell, so the two of them took advantage of the excitement and returned in defeat.
However, despite this, the He family also opened two tea estates, specializing in the sale of tea. Yi Yan came here to follow the order of the eldest prince to urge the He family to make the business bigger.
Yi Yan didn't seem to hear his question, holding the book in his hand, frowning and thinking about something.
He Daoan had no choice but to raise his voice: "Brother Yi? β
Yi Yan came back to his senses at this time, but he didn't look at He Daoan, but instructed his entourage: "Quan Bu, you go to the Zhong Family Tea House and ask if there is any tea made by the new method." If so, buy some back. β
"Yes." Quan Fu took the order and left.
When He Daoan heard this, his heart moved, and he asked, "Brother Yi, do you want to make a big deal with the Zhong family?" β
Yi Yan shook his head: "The Zhong family's strength is limited, and there is not much tea to stir up. It was sold in three batches of bidding, and then some of its own tea houses and teahouses were left, and there was not much left. Even if we could afford to buy it, they wouldn't have any tea to sell. β
"Then what are you ......," He Daoan wondered.
Yi Yan looked at him: "You said, pineapple tea must be made from the tea leaves of Songluo Mountain?" Isn't it okay to change to tea from Fuling County? β
He Daoan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up: "Brother Yi, good idea!" β
Seeing Yi Yan nodding approvingly, he immediately ordered: "Zhuyu, you give the order to go down and go to Bacheng as soon as possible to find a pineapple tea roasted tea master and send it to the tea garden." β
The bamboo fish went out in response.
He Daoan excitedly walked back and forth in the room a few times, and then said: "If it can be done, our tea business will be promising." When the time comes, buy a large tea garden here, and then find a way to buy the secret recipe for roasted tea in Miss Zhong's hand, and the tea business of the Daxing Dynasty will have nothing to do with others. β
Yi Yan sat there quietly, contemplating this possibility, and did not speak.
The east of Fuling Mansion is the area where the powerful people live, and the high-grade tea houses are generally opened in the prosperous areas in the east of the city, and the tea houses of the Zhong family are no exception. In other words, Gardenia Tea House is not far from He Mansion, and he thought that Quan Bu would buy tea back soon, but he didn't want him to go for an hour before he bought the tea back.
As soon as he came back, he said: "Some time ago, the news of the bidding for the sale of the newly made tea of the Zhong family in Bacheng has spread, and the tea merchants who got the news have gone to the Gardenia Tea House to buy new tea, and when the villain went to buy tea, there were more than a dozen tea merchants in the tea house. However, the shopkeeper of Gardenia Garden said that his young lady had instructed that each tea merchant could only sell two catties of tea, and the supply was limited to a limited supply, while supplies last. Fortunately, the villain went in time and was in front. When the villain left, there were more than a dozen people in the back line, and it is estimated that by tomorrow, the newly made tea will not be sold. β
He Daoan and Yi Yan glanced at each other, patted the folding fan in their hands, and sighed: "This Miss Zhong is not simple. β
Yi Yan nodded.
Whether it is the previous auction sale or the current limited supply, Zhong Lingyu is earning word of mouth. Once the reputation of Gardenia Garden comes out, the sales of tea produced in their tea garden will no longer have to worry about it in the future.
If you heard Tang Liu's description earlier, you still think that Zhong Lingyu is just very smart, but now, both of them feel that Zhong Lingyu is a genius in business.
Giving up immediate interests and laying out a big game of chess is something that many adult male businessmen can't do, but Zhong Lingyu is doing it, and it is conceivable that she will get huge benefits. This vision, this mind, is destined to be a woman who is not a thing in the pool, and as long as she is not a person entrusted to her in the future, she will definitely be a character. Whoever really thinks of her as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boudoir girl will suffer a big loss. The example of Zhong Deqing is in front of you.
If He Daoan didn't have any other thoughts about Zhong Lingyu before, he just took pity on this little girl, thinking that it would be good to give her a little help, then at this moment he really became interested in this girl.
He is the eldest grandson of the He family, and he shoulders the family's high hopes. If it weren't for the death of his fiancΓ©e a year ago, he would have married and had children. Now the family is looking for a wife for him. He didn't have any ideas at first, thinking that as long as his mother thought it was good, he wouldn't be bad if he wanted to, and when the time came, he would make do with it, and there would be nothing wrong with respecting each other like his father and mother.
Of course, in terms of business, he never thought of letting his wife share it with him.
But at this moment, thinking about it, if he could marry Zhong Lingyu home, work side by side with her, support each other, and support a piece of the world with him, he would be excited in his heart.
Thinking of what Tang Liu told him about the current situation of the Zhong family having a hundred women in the family, and then thinking that his mother was going to the capital tomorrow and planned to say that he would have a noble girl in Beijing as his wife, he couldn't sit still any longer, stood up and said to Yi Yan: "Brother Yi, I'll go to my mother's place, and I'll come back at lunch." β
