Chapter 16 This is a human design

The Tao family's former residence is not big, three before and after, and the Sheng family's people come to live, just full.

The steward Sheng Tong has always been cautious and cautious, it was the master of the Sheng family who specially pointed out to help the two masters, today he trained the little guy who measured the wrong rice, and his mouth was dry, and the two masters came back, he went to serve, only to hear that Anqiu was here, and no one could eat the food they brought.

The two young masters were depressed, and the second master even scolded Master Anqiu Tao behind his back.

He persuaded Sheng Qiming, "Why should the second master be angry with the Tao family, they can't eat our grain, Laizhou will definitely be able to eat it, and the second master can't be angry." ”

Sheng Qiming was angry, and snorted: "Although Laizhou is big, there were many people who sold grain in the past, and one can't run away from the price!" Besides, the family that his father contacted was equal to the Tao family in terms of family property, how many rich people could he know? ”

There is one more important thing, Sheng Qiming doesn't want to say it.

Because Master Tao was the most urgent, they came to Anqiu first, doing business one day at a time, and they went to Laizhou the day after tomorrow, and it would take several days to do business, who knows what the price of grain was at that time? Maybe it's going to drop to seven bucks!

Sheng Qiming snorted angrily, and pulled Sheng Qixian, "Big brother, let's find a way and make some moves in private, even if we get to Laizhou, we can straighten our backs and talk to them." ”

Sheng Qixian frowned and thought, the steward Sheng Tongke was frightened, "Second master, I can't help it!" We are secretly here to sell grain, this Shandong boundary is strictly controlled, let's not make a fuss here, when the time comes, we are not familiar with the place, but how can it be good? ”

"You say that as if I was going to be caught!"

Sheng Tong hurriedly came up to cover his mouth, but he avoided him, so he had to hurriedly say: "How can you talk nonsense, my second master, let's go to Laizhou honestly, maybe we will all take action." ”

"It's impossible," Sheng Qiming shouted, "At dinner just now, the old man of the Hao family has already said that his brother-in-law is from Laizhou, and they have been to many grain merchants in Laizhou, and there is no shortage of food at all, so we will either be stopped and bargained, or don't think about making a move!" What do you say about a bucket of rice and a tael of silver, Anqiu can sell it for ten yuan, and I see a maximum of eight yuan when I arrive in Laizhou! ”

Sheng Tong is still very optimistic, "Eight dollars is good, the price of rice in Jiangnan is only two dollars and one bucket, we still make money." ”

"Earn what? is to sell all the remaining rice, three hundred taels can't be earned, plus the money Anqiu earns, it is only more than four hundred taels of silver, how much does it cost us to go back and forth by water and land, and how much does the little guy eat and drink, not to mention that it can't be sold at all, and it has to be transported back, which is another loss! ”

Sheng Qixian was listening to his younger brother's irritable calculations, the accounts were clear, and even the steward Sheng Tong couldn't say words of comfort, he sighed, "Let's go to Laizhou first, if you don't find some private way, you can't transport it back." ”

As soon as he said this, Sheng Qiming breathed a sigh of relief, but when Sheng Guan Shi said this, his heart was like a rabbit jumping, not steady.

He went out here, and was just about to step back when he saw the little guy Erheng running over in a hurry.

He glared when he saw Er Heng's frizzy appearance, "What's the hurry?" Let you measure the rice, you are hairy, and you are still in a hurry to see the door? ”

Er Heng was just scolded by him at the door with his collar, and now he couldn't help shrinking his head when he saw Steward Sheng, and walked to the side of Steward Sheng, "Master Tong, there are two people at the door, saying that they are the servants of Seventh Master Cui's family, and they want to see our second uncle." ”

"What Cui Qiye? Where did Cui Qiye come from? Why don't I remember that there is a master surnamed Cui here in Anqiu? ”

Erheng hesitated, "Let's just say that Cui Qiye is here, and he is here to find our two young masters......"

"You don't even ask clearly, you dare to spread it casually? You are really ......" Sheng Tong glared at Er Heng vigorously and went straight to the door, "Look at the door and I want to teach you personally?!" ”

As he walked, he shouted to the door, opened the door and looked, only to see two children in tattered clothes standing in front of the door, still eating pancakes under the tree just now. Steward Sheng ignored it directly, and looked back and forth in the alley, and there was not a serious servant dressed as a servant.

He turned his head and asked Erheng, "What about people?" ”

Er Heng pointed at Cui Zhi and Wei Ming, "Just the two of them!" ”

", you! Are you underwhelmed?! Sheng Tong rolled up his sleeves, pulled Erheng and was about to fight, and heard someone outside call to stop.

"This steward, the two of us were sent by Cui Qiye to inquire about things, and that little brother didn't deceive people."

The clear voice of the female doll is just the calmness and conditioning in the voice that people can't help but take seriously.

Steward Sheng turned his head to look at the two dolls up and down, "Didn't you two pass by eating pancakes?" This is not the realm of jokes. ”

Cui Zhi said that it was not a trouble, "Our seventh master has instructed us to take a look at your mansion first and then come to the door." ”

Steward Sheng frowned and looked at her, "Who is your seventh master?" This has to be made clear. ”

"This is the most unspeakable, our seventh master said, we only do business, regardless of the side."

Steward Sheng was even more puzzled, "What kind of business are you going to do with the Seventh Master?" ”

"Grain."

As soon as these two words landed, Steward Sheng was shocked.

Finding the door to do the grain business, of course, is a good thing, but this seventh master's identity is not revealed, how can he make a living in private!

He immediately thought of the attitude of the Sheng family brothers, especially Sheng Qiming, what kind of seventh master is simply Sheng Qiming's way!

Either or not! What kind of business can a person who doesn't even reveal his identity do?

What if it's fishing?

Cui Zhi looked at Steward Sheng's face full of surprise, and couldn't help but feel happy, she ran back and forth several times, the information was not collected in vain, and it was most important to do what she liked.

She glanced at Wei Ming proudly, and waited with her head held high for the steward to invite her in, who wanted to take charge of the matter and shook her hand suddenly.

"I think you two children just listened to two sentences and came to the door to fool people! What Cui Qiye? What grain? If you don't have anything, hurry up! ”

Talking and shouting.

Cui Zhi was dumbfounded, did she miss a flaw, why did she have such an attitude?

It's just that she doesn't know that this Sheng steward, who has no intention of telling the truth, is just worried that the two masters in the family have taken over the business and something has gone wrong.

It's a blind cat that meets a dead mouse.

Cui Zhi became anxious all of a sudden, and was about to step forward to say more, but was grabbed by someone.

At this time, Steward Sheng snapped and closed the door.

"Huh? What's going on? Don't do business? Didn't the two brothers say that just now......" Cui Zhi looked confused, "Has Cui Qiye's character collapsed?" ”

Wei Ming motioned for her to come aside, remembering the word "persona" she had just told herself, saying that the persona must be set up, and the person must be set up, and everything will definitely work according to the persona, but once the persona collapses, the contrast between the front and back is too great, and the image will be irretrievable.

He sounded reasonable.

I still remember that when I first learned the Tang poem "Compassion for Nong", the poet Li Shen said "Who knows that Chinese food on the plate, every grain is hard" has been passed down for centuries, and country children can memorize two sentences without knowing poetry. It was only later when he studied history that he learned that Li Shen was an official who was cruel and violent, and the people under his rule fled in fear.

It is exactly what Cui Zhi said, the character collapsed.

Seeing that Cui Zhi was confused, he said, "Cui Qiye's personality has not collapsed, and it is not that the Sheng family brothers do not do business, but that this steward has made his own decisions." ”

"Huh?" Cui Zhi was stunned, "He dares to be such a big master?" It's really a seven-rank official in front of the prime minister! ”

"It's not ......" Wei Ming looked in the direction of the Sheng family's gate and said, "Wait a little longer." ”

"Do you have to wait until the day after tomorrow for them to set off?" Cui Zhi puffed up.

Seeing her puffing out her cheeks, Wei Ming couldn't help but want to laugh, he didn't explain, just said, "As Cui Qiye's domestic servant, you shouldn't be in a hurry or impatient, and you can't give up at will, this is a human design." ”

Cui Zhi raised his head and glanced at him in surprise.

If you're really a top student, you learn too fast, right?
