Chapter 277: My Three Aunts and Six Mothers-in-law All Say That
As Red Sleeves said, if she stays here any longer, she will get moldy, but the dog hole is blocked, and now that the old lady's birthday banquet is coming, it will be even more difficult for her to get out of the house.
She wanted to go out for a walk, but so many people and so many pairs of eyes stared at her and couldn't get out, and if she went out under their noses, she was afraid that something would happen again.
She wanted to go to see how the gambling house was doing, and what was going on on Tang Moshu's side.
She had warned Tang Moshu earlier that Chu Yan might want to attack him, but now she doesn't know what the situation is.
She was sure that Chu Yan would definitely make a move against the Tang family, but she didn't know what method it would take.
According to her understanding of Chu Yan, the most likely thing is to be framed.
However, as Xiao Changge thought, something did happen to the Tang family......
The things that the Tang family sent into the palace had been divided into pieces and handed over to other merchants, and it was still a little difficult for Chu Yan to start from this aspect.
But now it is the Tang family's big business, except for salt, gambling houses, and money villages, everything else is involved, and it is their restaurant that has caused the accident, many people have been poisoned after eating, and now the restaurant has been sealed.
This matter is also being verified, if it is clear that there is only one end to this restaurant, that is, it is sealed, and it is still a trivial matter if it is sealed, and the reputation of their Tang family will also be affected.
The other thing is that all the tea leaves they buy from outside are moldy! This is a lot of losses for the Tang family, and the main business of the Tang family is not only tea is the restaurant, but now the two are all in trouble, and the impact on the Tang family is not ordinary.
Now Tang Moshu is still running around for this matter, and at this time, Chu Yan came to visit.
Inside the Tang family
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drove to the grass people and missed the welcome, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive his sins."
Tang Xianzheng walked out of the side hall with the support of his subordinates, dressed in blue, wearing a pipe on his waist, his temples were white, wrinkles appeared on his face, and he even limped when he walked.
"This prince came uninvited, it should be that Master Tang should not be angry."
Chu Yan got up, folded his hands, smiled, and looked kind.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to make my Tang family shine, how can the grass people be angry? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sits. ”
A low voice came from his throat, but his tone was happy.
The loud laughter resounded throughout the hall, and Chu Yan laughed in agreement when he saw Tang Xianzheng laughing.
"Someone, tea."
Tang Xianzheng shouted at the people waiting outside the door, his voice was loud and loud, and after a while, he served tea for Chu Yan.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, try it, this is the fresh tea that the grass people asked people to pick a few months ago, and the taste is light and mellow."
Tang Xianzheng said kindly, if Tang Moshu saw it, he would definitely think that he had seen a ghost, the old man in his family who had been smiling with a strained face and not smiling was smiling so kindly today, what is this not a ghost?
"Master Tang, this prince is not beating around the bush anymore, today this prince came to visit because he had something to talk to Tang master."
Chu Yan stopped laughing, he didn't say those polite words to Tang Xianzheng, Tang Xian is a businessman, more shrewd than anyone else, saying those polite words may make him disgusted, it is better to get straight to the point.
Tang Xianzheng saw Chu Yan's serious appearance, he also put away his smile and listened seriously.
"If the prince has something, he might as well say it directly, as long as Tang can do it, he will definitely do it."
Tang Xianzheng said politely, and Chu Yan laughed.
"Master Tang doesn't have to be so nervous, only Master Tang can do this, and no one else can do it."
Chu Yan said seriously, Tang Xianzheng raised his eyebrows, and became a little interested in what Chu Yan said.
"This prince needs the help of Master Tang, if there is Master Tang to support this prince, then the prince's hegemony will be twice the result with half the effort."
Chu Yan squinted his eyes and said seriously, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, these Tang Xianzheng were looking at it in his eyes.
He knew that Chu Yan's ambition was not small, but since ancient times, there were two merchant officials, and Chu Yan had set his sights on them.
"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?"
Tang Xianzheng asked unansweredly, Chu Yan had a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the people standing outside the hall.
Tang Xianzheng noticed it, and hurriedly asked the people waiting outside the hall to retreat, and there were only two people left in the entire hall.
The first to break the deadlock was Chu Yan, he coughed twice, and seeing Tang Xianzheng looking at him with both eyes, he continued the topic just now.
"This prince wants to bring the Tang family into the pen, and as long as the prince is here in this capital, he can ensure the safety of the Tang family and a prosperous business."
Chu Yan looked at Tang Xianzheng's expression, wondering whether Mr. Tang would agree.
Tang Xianzheng's expression moved, and his heart had a little change in his opinion of Tang Moshu, he thought that this stinky boy was a second ancestor who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, but he didn't expect that he knew this way of government and business better than anyone else.
As early as when Chu Yan came to him, Tang Moshu had already told him that the prince was about to act, and then asked him to disperse the things that belonged to the Tang family who were responsible for paying tribute to the palace, but he didn't expect that as soon as the front foot finished speaking, Chu Yan came to the door with the back foot.
Moreover, Tang Xianzheng was sure in his heart that their restaurant was sealed, and the fact that the fresh tea suddenly became moldy tea was inseparable from Chu Yan.
"Under the pen? Shu Caomin was unable to accede to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's request. ”
Tang Xianzheng refused directly without hesitation.
This answer to Chu Yan was not surprising, he had repeatedly looked for Tang Moshu before, and sent him an invitation, hoping that Tang Moshu would move Tang Xianzheng, but Tang Moshu had been dragging and avoiding him, presumably there were still people behind him, otherwise how could he dare to delay making a decision like this?
Since looking for Tang Moshu was fruitless, he could only talk to Tang Xianzheng in person.
Now the power of the Tang family is still in the hands of Tang Xianzheng, as long as Tang Xianzheng agrees, who in the Tang family will dare to be disobedient?
"This prince knows that Master Tang can't accept it for a while, but this prince sincerely wants the Tang family to join the pen, so Master Tang can think about it first before answering."
"Naturally, this prince will not let Master Tang suffer, I heard that something happened in the Tang family's restaurant recently? If Master Tang agrees to Prince Ben's request, Prince Ben can help you solve this matter, and ensure that the reputation of the Tang family will not be affected in the slightest. ”
Chu Yan threw out the bait, only to hear Tang Xianzheng laugh twice.
Chu Yan's words seemed to be helping him, but he was actually threatening him.
If you promise that the restaurant will be safe, but what if you don't agree? Isn't this restaurant sealed?
Unfortunately, what wind and waves has he never seen before? However, a restaurant Chu Yan wanted to seal it, so he sealed it, and he was not stingy yet.
And what he hates most in his life is being threatened.
"Master Tang, think about it first, this prince promises you that if you choose this prince, you will definitely not regret it."
Chu Yan saw Tang Xianzheng's expression move, thinking that he was shaken, but he didn't know that Tang Xianzheng was thinking about other things in his heart.
Throwing out so many bait, he thought that Tang Xianzheng should think about it carefully.
Tang Xian's forehand clenched slightly, and his kind eyes instantly became a little colder, and his expression was a little abnormal.
Looking at Chu Yan, there were too many questions.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the grass people can't agree to you about this, and the grass people don't have this right."
It was not within Chu Yan's expectations, but decisively refused.
In an instant, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, and the eyes that looked at Tang Xianzheng were not as friendly as before.
"Master Tang, are you serious?"
eyes, squinting slightly.
Steady as a warning.
Does he know what he's talking about? Is it that you can't even think when you're old?
"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't be angry, there is a reason why Tang said this, everything in the Tang family Tang has long been handed over to the dog to be responsible, Tang didn't care about the Tang family's business a year ago, and all of it was handed over to the dog to take care of, so Tang couldn't make this decision at all."
Tang Xian replied in a straightforward manner, and Chu Yan was surprised in his heart.
He hadn't heard of this news, Tang Xianzheng was talking nonsense with his eyes open?
If he handed everything over to Tang Moshu, it was impossible for others not to know!
The Tang family is not a small nouveau riche, it is the person who controls one-third of the industry in the capital, if Tang Xianzheng really handed over all the rights of the Tang family's stewardship to Tang Moshu, then the people outside must know.
"It's not a secret, this prince is also interested in making friends, and there are one or two businessmen among them, none of them have heard of Master Tang giving way to Young Master Tang, this is really not an excuse that Master Tang made temporarily in order to avoid this prince?"
Chu Yan squinted his eyes and asked coldly.
Tang Xianzheng didn't give him face, so why did he have to give him face?
Tang Xianzheng was shocked, it seemed that Chu Yan came prepared today, and as a prince, he stooped down to make friends with a businessman, and when he thought about it, he knew that things were not simple.
He is the crown prince, the candidate for the prince, and he may become the emperor of Chu in the future, so he went to make friends with lowly businessmen like them, if he said it, it would only make people laugh and be generous, but he took this risk to make friends with those merchants.
What does this prove? It proved that those businessmen could bring him great benefits.
It's just that even if he understands these things in the officialdom, he has to pretend to be confused, otherwise he will only make himself suffer.
"Haha, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know anything, the dog has always been low-key and doesn't want those people to know, so only a few people know about this matter, if the prince doesn't believe it, you can go to them and ask, as early as a year ago, the dog started to deal with them, and even the things that entered the palace were all the responsibility of the dog."
Tang Xianzheng said unfazed, even in front of Chu Yan, he was not nervous.
Even though he is the crown prince, in his opinion, he is just a little hairy child as old as Tang Moshu.
Even if he didn't agree, Chu Yan wouldn't dare to mess around, after all, the Tang family's foundation in the capital was more than one or two years, and it could occupy one-third of the capital's industry, and it would take a lot of effort to shake the Tang family.
So Tang Xianzheng is not afraid!
"In other words, we still have to talk to Young Master Tang about this matter today?"
Chu Yan asked, and Tang Xianzheng nodded.
"I heard the voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before I came in, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really made our Tang family shine."
Tang Moshu walked in from outside the door, still holding a half-eaten apple in his hand, and his tone of voice was a little soothing, but his voice revealed a little tiredness, and even the handsome face was haggard.
It can be seen that for these two things, he has been running back and forth a lot these days.
"Young Master Tang is really similar to Master Tang, even the words he says are similar."
When Chu Yan saw Tang Mo Shu coming, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Speak of the devil.
"That is, my family's three aunts and six mothers-in-law usually say this when they ask my father for something."
