Chapter 59: The Mountain Rain is Coming
Su Cardamom was taken aback: "Daddy, what's the matter?" ”
"Speaking of which, something similar happened eight years ago. You were young then. Su Youting said, "I haven't been the master of the Agarwood Pavilion yet, the head of the Su family is still my father, your grandfather." ”
Cardamom Su nodded thoughtfully and retorted, "I'm not small. ”
Su Youting glanced at her, as if she wanted to see Lin Wuwu's shadow on her face, but unfortunately the part that belonged to Lin Wuwu was too thin, but her expression was rare and carefree.
In fact, Su Cardamom's personality is really more with her mother, stubborn, strong, assertive, and uncompromising - hers is more distinct, but Su Youting doesn't want to admit it.
"I vaguely remember some," Su Cardamom ignored the melancholy and entanglement in his father's heart, and followed Su Youting's words, "Was it the one that did it against Agarwood Pavilion?" rented a shop next to the Agarwood Pavilion, sold the same thing cheaply, and then disappeared inexplicably! She snorted contemptuously, "Sneaky things that hide their heads and tails, how can such a trick be put on the table!" ”
Su Youting nodded: "That's exactly that." For some reason, they come and go as fast as they come, like a dream, which makes people have no sense of reality. Fortunately, the loss of the Agarwood Pavilion was not large, but later the management was strengthened, and your grandfather sent your Uncle Youchuan Tang to Kyoto to specialize in the Agarwood Pavilion in the entire Jingzhou. ”
Su Cardamom nodded again and again.
Su Youchuan, the eldest son of Su Youting's uncle, has poor incense-making skills and has a good set of management shops.
Su Youchuan was originally able to make incense, although he was not a genius, not as good as Su Youting, but he was also good at making perfume balms and the like, and he won the appreciation of his eldest uncle,—— the head of the Su family, and Su Youting's father, and he was a promising teenager. However, there are unforeseen circumstances, Su Youchuan had a serious illness when he was sixteen years old, and after he recovered, he lost two of his five senses, his nose did not smell fragrant, and the tip of his tongue was difficult to taste sweet and sour. Later, I invited a lot of famous doctors to recuperate, but the good news is that I can distinguish between sweet and sour, bitter and salty, but unfortunately my nose still can't smell it.
Incense making is not done.
Eight years ago, after the end of the inexplicable malicious run, Su Youchuan was sent to Jingzhou to deal with the affairs of the Agarwood Pavilion in Jingzhou and the counties and counties under it.
Su Youting continued: "In recent months, there have been people in all counties and counties in Jingzhou who have secretly intermittently bought and sold the incense products of the Agarwood Pavilion, buying more at low prices and retailing at low prices, in a vain attempt to disrupt the business of the Agarwood Pavilion without us noticing. - Why, you don't seem surprised that your father is here? ”
Cardamom closed her eyes and laughed, "What's so strange about this? I heard about these things outside a few months ago," she deliberately leaned over to Su Youting, her face mysterious, "Daddy, not only that, but I've also experienced it myself!" ”
It was Su Youting's turn to be surprised when she said this: "What did you say?" ”
"Yuhe County, some time ago I went there to pick incense, and I saw the Agarwood Pavilion merchant on the main street of Yuhe County, and I was very kind, and I wanted to pull my legs in to take a look, guess what?" Su Cardamom sold Guan Zi and stared at his father's face.
Su Youting frowned, pretending to be angry and glared at her: "Say it quickly!" ”
Su Cardamom slandered: "It's not interesting at all, it's so old-fashioned, how did A-Niang fall in love with you back then?" ”
I had to continue: "I haven't lifted my feet yet, a man came over beside me, dressed cleanly, and not like a hooligan ruffian, politely asked me if I wanted the cosmetics of the Agarwood Pavilion, to ensure authenticity, the price is cheap." When I heard it, of course it was good! ”
"Where's the good!" As soon as Su Youting heard this, he was angry and didn't come out, is this girl deliberately angry or stupid? couldn't help but interrupt her and asked, "The words 'ruffian hooligan' will be written on the face?" You are not afraid that people are charlatans! What about your vigilance! ”
Su Cardamom was in the mood for reminiscence, Leng Buding was interrupted by her father, she paused speechlessly, swallowed her saliva, forgave her father's untimely worries, and continued: "Don't worry, I'm not good!" Can I afford to lose? It's him who should be worried! ”
These words made Su Youting, a father, feel better.
Su Cardamom: "I'll follow him to an alley not far away, enter and have a look, oh!" There are a lot of incense products from the Agarwood Pavilion, the price is cheap, and none of them are fake! I pretended to be interested in picking a few pieces, and pretended to be weak and kind, and I didn't know anything about the world by the way, and as a result, he said that not only Yuhe County, but also more places to sell incense products from Agarwood Pavilion! As for the way to get it, people don't say it, and it's inconvenient for me to startle the snake. To be honest, Dad, why don't you come and see for yourself? ”
"This time, we must figure out the reason, our Agarwood Pavilion has a lot of business in Jingzhou, besides, there are many relatives and nobles in Jingzhou Wangcheng, once something goes wrong, it is not only the reputation of our Agarwood Pavilion for a hundred years, but also the life and death of the entire Su family. Any problem with the Agarwood Pavilion is not a trivial matter. After listening to Su Cardamom's words, Su Youting's face was serious and his tone was solemn.
He stays in Beijing for at least three or four months a year before returning to Fuzhou to deal with other affairs, both business and family.
Although Agarwood Pavilion has developed for a hundred years, all kinds of things are relaxed and orderly, and the family rules are clear and clear, but people need to be sophisticated, and all aspects of the relationship need to be balanced, which is also a worrying thing. In his position, he seeks his own government and fulfills his duties.
Because of this, in the past hundred years, Agarwood Pavilion has seen a lot of big and small storms, and they have survived the danger, not to mention the wisdom and efforts.
"Daddy, I'll help you!" Cardamom Su lost her mother since she was a child, but this father is good to her.
"Daddy is my dearest person, and I can't let him worry too much. If Ji Zhenming is ......" Su Cardamom thought about it, and suddenly thought of Ji Shu, her heart moved, why did she think of Ji Shuming?
"What is he doing now? If I have something to do with him, he'll help me, right? She thought again.
A-Niang's death and the painful experience of the first contact with horses left a lot of shadows in Su Cardamom's heart, and the experience of lying in bed and dying made her learn to doubt, speculate and be cautious; Thank you Daddy and Auntie, she was born smart, nervous and not cowardly, and she was not frightened from then on by this horse trampling, so that her relatives and enemies were happy; Thank you for teaching her before going to Huangquan to teach her brightness and self-reliance; also thanks to her so-called "mother" Li Silan for paying attention to the subtle "care" everywhere, so that she learned to be inconsistent with what she looks and what she says, and calls the woman surnamed Li "mother" in front of people, and then disdains it; Thanks to her half-siblings for their secret "care", let her grow savagely and circuitously in the troubles they keep creating!
She grew up and was whole. When I grow up, I can follow my father away from the Su family in Fuzhou to come to Jingzhou, and I also met Ji Zhenming.
So, how well it is said that the tree moves the dead and the living!
"Based on what I know about Ji Zhenming, there is no doubt that he will help me."
At this time, Ji Zhenming just sent away Yu Qian'er, who seemed to be reluctant to give up on the surface but had a firm goal in the army, and was with his senior brothers Ji Mo and Bai Mei. A Ning said that he would make a taste of the medicinal materials on the "Codex of Materia Medica", and not be in the same stream with them for the time being.
To Bai Mei's surprise, Brother Xuan Ming actually put on makeup for himself under his stunned eyes, changed his face, took Shaoguang, grabbed a dagger, and Shi Shiran left through the back door.
That behavior was exactly the same as when Ji Mo came to the royal city!
It is said that Ji Shu practices swords and makes swords, but he prefers to use relatively short weapons, which feels more convenient.
And Mo Shao was not surprised by Ji Xiaoming's behavior, did not ask, did not accompany, and let him go like this!
What's the situation?
But after two or three hours, Ji Zhenming came back, and his first sentence was: "Senior brother, I already know the general appearance of Wangcheng," and then pointed to his chest, "Yu chest!" ”
