At the end of the song, the surroundings returned to calm, the sound of gurgling water gently hit the ears, the lake in the distance was crowded with people, colorful, and the noise was isolated by the lake on the shore, and the shore and the shore seemed to be two worlds.

"I have long heard that Miss Xun Zhi is good at music, and sure enough, it is better to see than to hear, and the girl's piano skills are more refined than rumored." Tan Baiyu praised with a smile.

Xun Xuan gently withdrew her fingers and said with a smile: "The people's girls are just playing the piano for fun on weekdays, and occasionally offering ugliness is not worth mentioning, how can it be compared to President Tan who works day and night on the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, you are the one who really does great things." ”

Tan Baiyu smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Miss Xun Zhi, don't be humble, although you are a woman in the boudoir, you are not inferior to a man in terms of talent, learning and resourcefulness, if it weren't for the inconvenience of your identity, Tan really hopes that there can be helpers like you around to help take care of the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, so that I can save a lot of worry." ”

Xun Xuan's eyes moved slightly, and she said quietly: "I heard that there is an old precedent, the winner of the Lantern Festival, has a chance to join the business alliance?" ”

Tan Baiyu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xun Xuan to mention this, and hurriedly nodded: "There is indeed such an old precedent, could it be that Miss Xun Zhi is planning to enter the business alliance?" ”

Xun Xuan smiled: "I'm afraid that I don't have that blessing as a female streamer, but there is a pharmacy in the hands of the people's daughter, and she intends to belong to the name of the Shang Alliance, I don't know what President Tan wants?" ”

"You want to put the pharmacy under the name of the Shang Alliance?" Tan Baiyu raised his eyebrows, and there was a little more interest in his eyes, "Miss Xun Zhi knows that all stores that join the business alliance must pay half of the profits to the business alliance, which is not a small amount!" ”

Xun Xuan smiled calmly and said, "The world's business alliance walks in the Great Wei, who doesn't give a few thin noodles to the officers and soldiers?" I put the pharmacy under the name of the business alliance because I wanted to use money to seek stability. ”

"What's more...... The world's business alliance is famous in the grand Wei, the merchants have their own set of rules, and the people also trust the business alliance very much, if my pharmacy can be hung under the name of the business alliance, it will be able to attract more people to trade, and the profit of fifty percent is nothing in comparison. ”

After all, today's Miaoshengtang has no owner behind it, everyone can be bullied, and it is about to close, if it can seek the protection of the Shang Alliance, then the situation will be very different.

"It seems that Miss Xun Zhi has already figured out this transaction." Tan Baiyu was holding his clothes in both hands, his face seemed calm, but in fact, he was already surprised in his heart, but it turned out that Xun Zhi tried his best to win the lantern championship in order to hang Miaoshengtang under the name of the business alliance.

This person has been scheming since he got on the boat, and he is really a thoughtful girl......

"Since Miss Xun Zhi is determined to put the pharmacy under the name of the Shang Alliance, why doesn't President Tan laugh?" Jing Ying, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up, and he said that Xun Zhi was interested in the World Business Alliance for no reason, but it turned out that he was making this calculation.

Tan Baiyu glanced at Jing Ying lightly, did not say a word, and secretly said If you say that you can laugh, you will laugh, what do you think of my world business alliance?

This Jing Ying was talking to Xun Zhi as soon as she opened her mouth, and she didn't see anyone Jing Ying so kind to help anyone on weekdays, plus Jing Ying intentionally or unintentionally shielded Xun Zhi on the lightboat, but Tan Baiyu was already able to see some fame.

In addition, Jing Ying's words mean something, King Zhao, who never bows to people on weekdays, actually opened a golden mouth to him for a little girl? The more Tan Baiyu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, it was about King Zhao, the God of Wealth, and he had to reconsider Xun Zhi's proposal.

It's just that the business alliance has the rules of the business alliance, how can it receive a store that has been losing money for a long time under its own name? Isn't that asking for trouble for yourself?

After thinking about it, Tan Baiyu still said: "It's not impossible for the business alliance to accept Miaoshengtang, but the monthly profit of Miaoshengtang must reach at least 50,000 taels of silver, if it can't be reached, even if Miaoshengtang is included in the name of Shangmeng, it will be abandoned in the future." ”

"What's so hard about that? This king believes that with Xun Zhi's means, a mere 50,000 taels of silver is not a problem, even if it can't be reached, how much is left, and this king will make up for you the world's business alliance. Jing Ying opened the back door in such a grand manner, but even Xun Zhi and the three of them were frightened.

Tan Baiyu was stunned and speechless for a long time, and always felt that Jing Ying's words were more like what he said, compared to him, the president of the Central Plains Chamber of Commerce, Jing Ying was more like the person who made the decision behind the scenes.

Jing Ying...... This is to imperceptibly extend his power into the business alliance!

After a while, Tan Baiyu pulled the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Then according to the prince's meaning, Tan can only laugh?" ”

"It's up to President Tan to decide whether this business is done or not, but in case the Miaoshengtang is developed in the future, the president doesn't blame this king for not reminding you in advance." Jing Ying is still the same understatement, and she has the posture of a lobbyist in and out of her words.

But when Tan Baiyu heard this, he had to be worried, after all, what businessmen were most afraid of was pressure from the government.

He has relied on Jing Ying for many years, and he has long been inseparable from his help, and if he wants to be alone and take care of each other at this time, I am afraid it will be too late.

Tan Baiyu is a businessman who only cares about money, and there is no reason to cut off his wealth for the sake of face.

After thinking about it left and right, Tan Baiyu chuckled: "Since it is the prince's kindness, Tan does not dare not accept it." ”

Xun Xuan came to her senses, and quickly reacted, Jing Ying was borrowing her to suppress Tan Baiyu, and wanted to use this to tell Tan Baiyu who was better in this Jingshi.

But she has invisibly become a pawn in his hands again!

Although she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she thought that she could successfully join the World Business Alliance because Jing Ying was a bridge from it, so she didn't plan to care about it anymore, and looked at Tan Baiyu with a smile: "President Tan, rest assured, Xun Zhi will never let you down." ”

Although the matter was negotiated, the atmosphere on the lotus boat became dull again.

An Xinyue is also a person who observes words and feelings, and can see that the three people on the boat have their own thoughts, and it is not interesting to continue swimming in the lake, so she hurriedly got up with a smile and reminded: "It's not too early at this hour, why don't we put the dragon and phoenix lanterns here." ”

Tan Baiyu wiped the gloom on his face, and said with a gentle smile: "Then according to Miss An's wishes, let's put the lights here." ”

Xun Xuan silently picked up the dragon and phoenix lantern on the boat, and lit the candle in the lamp with a fire fold, the fire illuminated the red lamp paper, emitting a gorgeous light, and the dragon and phoenix statue made of gold on the lamp looked more gorgeous and noble and shining under the light of the candle.

Xun Xuan bent down and gently put the lantern into the water, and the beautiful lantern slowly drifted away with the water waves, submerging into the countless lanterns on the lake.

Xun Xuan stood indifferently on the boat, her eyes quietly fell on the lanterns floating away, and she suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart, in the six years of the Queen Mother of the Deep Palace, she would lead the palace people to put lanterns on the Jinshui River every Lantern Festival, so as to beg for the peace of the people of the Great Wei Kingdom, and the wind and rain were smooth.

The funny thing is that now her fate is like a lantern on the river, and she is helpless.

"If she is still there, I am afraid that the Jinshui River will not be lively at this time." A sigh suddenly sounded in Jing Ying's ears, but the helplessness between the words could not be hidden.

Xun Xuan was stunned, turned her eyes and looked at Jing Ying beside her silently, but saw that the man's eyes were gloomy, and said with a wry smile: "She left in a hurry, and when she was mourning, Jing Yi almost burned her Cining Palace, and she didn't even leave a decent thing." ”

Xun Xuan was stunned, looking at Jing Ying's face, she only felt a faint pain somewhere in her heart, and after a while, she exhaled lightly and barely restrained her emotions: "The emperor is filial, just to let my sister go clean, don't make people sad anymore." ”

The corners of Jing Ying's eyes twitched, a trace of coldness flashed on her face, and then she said indifferently: "Now there is only one Miaoshengtang left, and it is right to treat it as a thought for you, you don't want to disappoint your sister." ”

Xun Xuan hooked her lips and smiled, and teased: "Listening to the tone of the prince, it looks like my brother-in-law." ”

Jing Ying lowered her eyes, but smiled helplessly, and it was rare that she did not refute it.

……

The lotus boat soon docked, and the pedestrians on the shore came up to see the excitement.

"This is the Lotus Boat, right? The people on the boat must be the winners of this year's Lantern Festival, right? ”

"The lightboat of the World Business Alliance has docked, and there is already news that the winner is Miss Xun Zhi of Anfu."

"Xun Zhi? Isn't that the woman who won the first place in the Chongyang Poetry Conference a while ago? ”

Everyone talked about it, and when they saw Xun Zhi and the four of them getting down from the lotus boat, they all stretched out their heads to see the demeanor of this talented woman in Beijing.

Today, Xun Zhiyin went out with Mrs. Xing, representing the façade of Anfu, and was naturally carefully dressed, wearing a moon-white plum blossom pattern robe with the hollow orchid beads on the bun.

Coupled with the backdrop of the lotus boat behind him, the whole person is like a hibiscus fairy coming out of the lake, so beautiful that it is suffocating.

"This Xun Zhi girl is really beautiful!"

"Yes, not only talented, but also outstanding, God is really unfair."

"It is said that the second lady of Anfu is the first beauty of Jingshi, in my opinion...... This Xun Zhi girl is no worse than that An Xuehan! ”

The position where the lotus boat docked was not far from the Shangmeng lightship, and after walking a few steps at this moment, it bumped into Xu Xuetang and Cheng Xun who came down from the ship.

"How did Mr. Xu have the leisure to come to the Lantern Festival today?" Cheng Xun teased as he walked.

"I'm just curious, what are you doing for the World Business Alliance?" Xu Xie Tang brushed his clothes, answered casually, paused, and added, "I saw Xun Zhi on the boat today." ”

Cheng Xun paused for a moment, and his tone was a little lower: "What is she here to make a fuss?" ”

Xu Xie Tang sighed twice and sighed: "She won the first place, your sister...... There are really two hits. It seems like...... Even Zhao Wangye is secretly helping her, you still tell me that your sister is simple-minded? That's it...... I don't even believe it! ”
