Yan Yunge took a carriage and went to Fugui Villa.
I vaguely heard someone calling her.
After thinking about it, she felt that it was impossible, so she thought she was an auditory hallucination.
She also laughed at herself, "I'm so narcissistic that I can hallucinate that someone is calling me." β
It wasn't until the guards reported that Zhong Shuhao and the eldest prince were looking for her that she suddenly realized that it was not an auditory hallucination before.
"What did he ask me for?"
Yan Yunge was a little puzzled, and the relationship between her and Zhong Shuhao was limited to acquaintance.
"Let him come!"
Yan Yunge still decided to see Zhong Shuhao, and he paid all the courtesies.
As you get older, you can no longer be as willful as when you were a child, and you still have to pay attention to the necessary etiquette.
The guards took the order and led Zhong Shuhao to the carriage.
"Fourth girl, what a coincidence today. Knowing that you are going to Nirvana Villa, can we go along? It just so happens that I also want to go into the mountains and take a walk. β
Zhong Shuhao has a smiling face, which is very kind.
Yan Yunge looked at him through the car window, "Isn't Zhong Gongzi bad?" β
Zhong Shuhao shook his head, "The court is in a mess, I can't be an errand now!" The days were not peaceful, and I was irritable, so I decided to go into the mountains to live for a few days. Just on the same road, if the four girls don't dislike it, it's better to go together. β
Yan Yunge said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, the villa in the princess's mansion is far away from the rich villa, separated by dozens of miles. β
"Out of the way! It's only a few dozen miles away, not far. Zhong Shuhao understated.
Yan Yunge thought about it, but he was just on the same road, so he agreed, "Zhong Gongzi doesn't dislike it, I naturally have no opinion." β
"Thank you, four girls! Everyone walked together, and the road was more lively. β
Zhong Shuhao rode a horse and kept following the side of the carriage, chatting with Yan Yunge without a single sentence.
Passing by the post station, he will preemptively arrange accommodation and food, and he is particularly thoughtful and enthusiastic.
Staying at the post station at night, the maid Abei muttered, "Seeing that Zhong Gongzi is so familiar with all aspects of the post station, does he stay away all year round?" β
Yan Yunge smiled softly, "Don't be naΓ―ve. The head of the post station was originally the Zhong family. Don't look at the Zhong family, it seems to be stained with the light of Princess Chengyang, in fact, the Zhong family itself is a big family, and the people in the clan are all over the yamen of the imperial court. It's just that the official position of the Zhong family is not big, so it is not very noticeable. But they are all urgently needed positions with abundant oil and water. β
I see!
"So the Zhong family is rich?"
Yan Yunge nodded, "The accumulation of several generations is not ordinary rich, but super rich. Many of the properties under the name of Princess Chengyang are operated by the Zhong family, and the annual profit is very considerable. Do you know who the biggest grain merchant in the capital is? β
Ah Bei shook her head, how could she know about this!
Yan Yunge quietly told her, "The real proprietor behind the largest grain merchant in the capital is actually the Zhong family. Last year, His Royal Highness went out of Beijing for disaster relief, and Princess Chengyang didn't blink her eyebrows, and took out nearly 10,000 loads of food support, relying on the Zhong family's inventory. It is equivalent to exchanging the old grain in the Zhong family's warehouse for a splendid future for the three highnesses. It's a good deal! β
Ah Bei secretly stammered, "I didn't expect the Zhong family to be so rich!" Compared with the Ling family, I don't know who is richer? β
Yan Yunge pondered for a moment, "It's really hard to say who is richer between the Zhong family and the Ling family. However, the Ling family has a deeper heritage, more accumulation, and involves every industry. Almost all commodity trading has the shadow of the Ling family. In this way, it may be that the Ling family is richer. β
Raw silk, cotton and linen, cloth, tea, grain, ceramics, wood, salt, iron ore......
Where there is commodity trading, there is the Ling family.
The Ling family prides themselves on cultivating and reading heirlooms, and considers themselves to be scholars.
In fact, it's all about business.
The Zhong family is also wealthy, but the Zhong family's involvement in industries is not as extensive as that of the Ling family.
Moreover, the Zhong family is rooted in the north, and the output in the north is limited, which is not as good as the south.
The Ling family is rooted in the south, with more abundant materials and higher profits.
After all, the Ling family is still stronger, in all aspects!
Ah Bei exclaimed a few times, "According to the girl, the post station is equivalent to being opened by the Zhong family?" β
"The Zhong family took the money of the imperial court to open a post station." Yan Yunge changed his words.
Abei understands in seconds.
The family is rich, Yan Yunge only has envy and jealousy, but she doesn't hate.
Her rich villa is not bad, give her a few more years, her savings will increase, and the industry will become bigger and bigger.
One day, she will surely become a force that others cannot ignore.
β¦β¦
On the second day, we continued on our way.
At the fork in the road, Yan Yunge asked the driver to stop and say goodbye to Zhong Shuhao.
Zhong Shuhao smiled and asked, "Miss Yan Si don't mind if I visit Nirvana Villa for two days?" I often hear people talk about Nirvana Villa, but they have never had the opportunity to see it. I finally ran into it, and I hope Miss Yan Si will give me a chance. β
Yan Yunge refused, "The villa has been unusually busy recently, and there is a mess everywhere. Not just next time! When I have a chance in the future, I will invite Zhong Gongzi to come to the door as a guest. β
Zhong Shuhao was stunned, he didn't expect to be rejected.
He smiled, "Now that the scenery in the mountains is just right, it's a pity that we can't go to Nirvana Villa in this season." I also heard that there is a huge horse farm on the side of the villa, and I love horses the most, so I wonder if I can go to the horse farm of the four girls and gallop around? β
Yan Yunge refused again, "This is really not good!" Now is the time for my horse farm to grow pasture. If you want to ride a horse, you might as well wait until after the autumn harvest. At that time, the racecourse will be open to the public, and you can gallop around for a small fee. β
Zhong Shuhao failed twice in a row, and he felt very shameless!
He smiled bitterly, "Miss Yan is really dedicated to doing things, and she refuses to be accommodating at all. No wonder the world misunderstands you. β
Yan Yunge smiled at him, "I don't care about other people's misunderstandings about me. Zhong Gongzi, let's say goodbye, you go to relax, I go to farm. Leave! β
Zhong Shuhao rode a horse and stopped on the side of the road, watching the Yan family's convoy leave.
The steward stepped forward and asked, "Childe, what should I do next?" β
Zhong Shuhao looked ahead and smiled, "Sure enough, oil and salt don't enter, soft and hard don't eat, and there is no affection left." This temper, no wonder it offends people. β
"Changing to someone else, Childe offered to be a guest, and I don't know how happy he was. Only Miss Yan Si is not uncommon for sons to come to the door as guests. It really doesn't make sense. A broken mountain villa, is it remarkable? β
The steward was upset for Zhong Shuhao.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Shuhao didn't appreciate it at all, but reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense!" The vigilance and defense of Nirvana Villa, you have seen it with your own eyes. Give you three thousand, can you take it down? β
The steward bowed his head in shame.
Because he can't beat it.
Fugui Villa is indeed nothing remarkable, in the eyes of the family, it is a broken farm.
In the first year, it was worth a lot of money to make a greenhouse vegetable.
In the years that followed, there was nothing to worry about.
However, it is such a broken mountain villa, the defense is tight, and the number of heavily armed guards is staggering.
Last year, when the Gyeonggi homeless people and bandits were at their worst, there were mountain bandits who tried to attack Fugui Mountain Villa to rob food and people, but they were killed by the mountain village guards and suffered heavy casualties.
The courage of the homeless people and thieves was killed by the guards of Fugui Villa.
Its combat effectiveness can be seen.
A noble son like Zhong Shuhao, if he didn't have Yan Yunge's consent, he wouldn't want to enter the Rich Villa.
There are three roads in and out of Nirvana Villa, and each road is checked by guards.
Those familiar merchant faces, the nearby villagers, are easy to pass.
Strange merchants, unfamiliar convoys, unfamiliar faces, if you want to enter Nirvana Villa, you must have an introducer and confirm your identity before you can enter.
Yan Yunge refused Zhong Shuhao's visit to Fugui Villa, which means that through normal channels, Zhong Shuhao could not step into Nirvana Villa at all.
He can't get into the abnormal channel.
Because of the 3,000 stewards, he couldn't beat the rich villa.
In vain!
Zhong Shuhao said: "Don't blame Yan Yunge for having confidence. She now supports so many people that she has long been self-sufficient. There is another group of loyal guards. For anyone, with such conditions as her, nine or eight times out of ten are even more arrogant and arrogant than her. β
If you want to refuse, you can refuse, and no one will give face, there is nothing wrong with it.
Unless the emperor comes in person, it will be Empress Tao who comes, Yan Yunge disagrees, and the guards will also block Empress Tao from the gate of the villa.
If there are soldiers, there will be confidence.
If you have confidence, you dare to be arrogant!
Dare to be arrogant, because she can bear the consequences of arrogance.
It's a big deal, and it's impossible to say who wins or loses.
β¦β¦
Yan Yunge got rid of Zhong Shuhao and walked very briskly all the way.
She and Zhong Shuhao are not familiar with each other, and most of the time they are talking awkwardly along the way.
Between the two, they haven't found a topic of common interest yet.
Although, Zhong Shuhao's speech is not boring, and it can be regarded as having something to say.
It's just that Yan Yunge doesn't like to talk to people awkwardly on the way to the road!
Tired!
If it is a different occasion, such as when she is idle and has nothing to do, she can still talk patiently, find common topics between the two, and promote harmonious, friendly and neighborly relations.
I'm in a hurry now, and I don't have the heart to deal with it.
Dozens of miles of journey, until the sky is about to dark, before arriving at Fugui Villa.
Yan Sui and Ji Ping took their men and greeted them at the gate of the villa.
Yan Yunge got out of the carriage, and his first sentence was teasing, "Why are you so grand?" Do you have nothing to do? β
Yan Suile hehe, "The girl hasn't come to the villa for more than half a year, and everyone misses you." β
"You're all worried about the money in this girl's pocket, counting on me to give you a reward."
"If the girl really gives the big guy a reward, everyone will wake up laughing tonight."
"Wait! I'll see how you've been doing for the past six months! β
"Girl, please!"
Yan Yunge settled down in the villa, and began to ask people that night to understand the situation.
The next day, he began to inspect the workshops, the market shops, and the fields to check on this year's planting.
It's not going to be good!
