Chapter 169: Return to Beijing

Jiankang, in the courtyard of the deep mansion with the word "royal house", everything is full of spring, but the servants who come and go have a trace of trepidation.

In the spacious hall, the already dreary atmosphere was even more oppressive because the room was full of people.

At this time, everyone's faces were lifeless.

"In this way, the price of medicine has dropped by another ....." Wang Hongbin's face was stiff, and he clutched the teacup tightly in his hand, and those who stood close could even hear the sound of the teacup cracking due to the external force.

Everyone in the hall nodded with a dejected expression, as if they didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Damn it, don't think that this will make us sell at a low price" Wang Hongbin finally broke out in anger, he stood up, slammed the teacup on the ground and roared, "Buy, buy again, we will buy all the cinnamon branches in the medicine market...."

As soon as these words came out, the people in the hall looked horrified.

"Second master, I can't buy it anymore...."The two older people said with trembling hands, "Our capital investment is too large, and the turnover is not working....."

The capital turnover is not good, which is a taboo for merchants.

"Afraid" A man sitting next to Wang Hongbin also stood up, his chest rose and fell violently, and there was a sneer on his face, "They are now lowering the price, the first is nothing more than that our family has a large amount of cinnamon hoarding, and they think that we want to sell goods in a hurry, so they repeatedly lower the price, wanting to pick up a big bargain, and second, there are still cinnamon branches in this medicine market, and they believe that even if we don't sell them, we can buy them from other places..."

Speaking of this, he laughed a few times, slapped the table and stood up, his eyes swept over everyone.

"So the more this time, the more we can't back down, we have to buy, buy a lot, tell them that we are not in a hurry to sell the goods, and also tell them that apart from us, they can't buy Guizhi" The middle-aged man said coldly, "This is called a strange commodity to live in"

There was a buzz in the hall, and it was obvious that everyone understood this truth, and it was all recognized in a moment.

"But, our available money," the older man asked with some hesitation, "is not much...."

"I have already borrowed money from those commercial banks, and with our many years of friendship with them, and with the credibility of our Baohetang, they will definitely ..."The middle-aged man said with a confident face. The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

"Second uncle and third uncle..."Wang Jinyi rushed in suddenly, full of excitement, "Quick, quick, grandpa..."

This sentence made everyone's faces in the hall change greatly, and Wang Hongbin rushed out with the middle-aged man.

The room with a strong smell of medicine was crowded with people, rubbing their hands with their heads down, sighing from time to time.

The gray-haired, old-fashioned old doctor in an official robe came out tremblingly, and everyone cheered and surrounded him.

"How's it going, sir?"

"Doctor Zhou, how is the old lady?"

The voice of inquiry rang out low and chaotic.

With a habitual smile, the old lady nodded and said that she was awake, but she did not directly answer everyone's questions.

"Second Master Wang, Third Master Wang, the old lady will let you in." He looked at Wang Hongbin and said.

Wang Hongbin and the others immediately rushed into the inner room.

Wang Yizhang was lying under the thick quilt, his face was gloomy, and in just a few days, the old man seemed to have been suddenly drained of his soul.

Wang Hongbin and the others only felt choked in their throats, and knelt in front of the bed on the left and right.

"Daddy..."

"Uncle..."

The two called in a low voice.

Wang Yizhang slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a cloudy breath.

"How?" He asked, hoarse.

Wang Hongbin forced a smile, "Second uncle, you take care of it, don't worry, there is no business..."

"Can you hide it now?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Wang Yizhang interrupted him, "I'm sick, but I'm not blind or deaf..."

"Dad..."The middle-aged man looked confident, "Don't worry, this time it's a little difficult, but we can definitely get through it...."

"Sell it." Wang Yizhang interrupted him and said briefly.

The middle-aged man's face stiffened, "Dad, I'm fighting. …”

"You're angry." Wang Yizhang said.

"To be angry is to be angry, and to be angry is to be angry," the middle-aged man said with a red face.

"If you don't know how to fight, you are angry," Wang Yizhang still said briefly.

After saying that, he coughed heavily.

Wang Hongbin and the others were shocked, they were too busy to argue, they took the tea in the maid's hand, fed the water smoothly, and after a while of being busy, Wang Yizhang relieved himself.

"What are you going to do?" He asked slowly.

Wang Hongbin told him about his previous plans one by one.

"Just this time, hold on for another month, if they don't let go, they can't hold on anymore, even if they lose half of it, they have to sell..."Wang Yizhang said in a trembling voice, looking at the two people in front of him, "Baohetang is a hundred years accumulated by our Wang family, people say that the wealth is not more than three generations, if it is really fulfilled, it is not, keep our roots, there will always be a time to grow again..."

Wang Hongbin and the others nodded, their faces ashamed and anxious.

As he spoke, a tall, slender man rushed in, looking anxious and about to speak.

Wang Hongbin chuckled in his heart when he saw his face, and immediately glanced at him.

The man understood, turned and walked away.

"Stop me." Wang Yizhang saw it and said.

The man turned around, hung his head, and called out to the old woman.

"Say, what do they say? Is it asking for a high interest rate? Wang Yizhang asked slowly.

The man raised his head and glanced at Wang Hongbin and the others.

"Say, how high is the interest," the middle-aged man asked through gritted teeth.

The person who came looked extremely ugly, bit his lower lip, looked at the two of them, and then looked at Wang Yizhang, who seemed to be unable to speak, and his voice was like a mosquito and a fly.

“？” Wang Hongbin asked, "Be louder." ”

The man gritted his teeth, his heart crossed, knelt down and said, "They... I don't even borrow it...."

"How is that possible?" The middle-aged man's face changed suddenly, and he asked in a lost voice.

"Have you ever gone to faith in righteousness?" He stepped forward and asked.

"Go, go, the third master, I'm gone, no one can see it, saying that Old Man Nie is not at home..."

The middle-aged man took a few steps back, his face full of disbelief.

"Impossible, impossible...."He muttered, "they, how could they have been with us for so many years, how could they not be saved at this time...."

"In the face of sufficient interests, there is impossible" Wang Yizhang said with a long sigh, his eyes were even more cloudy, his gaze swept over the two in front of him, although Wang Hongbin still remained sitting, but a layer of cold sweat had appeared on his forehead, and the third master was already trembling slightly, and the two of them had obviously been hit by the sudden situation.

"It seems that those people are blocking our back road...."Wang Yizhang sighed, and planted people before he finished a word.

After a period of panic, the old lady who had left and was invited back was retreating the others and shook his head at Wang Hongbin and the others.

Wang Hongbin and the others suddenly turned pale and sat down.

"He has a poor foundation, and he has been holding on hard all these years, and this is the limit..."The old lady doctor said in a low voice, accustomed to life and death, and there was no special emotion on his face.

"Old fellow, I'm going to go first this time..."Wang Yizhang's voice came faintly from the bed, with a little smile.

The old lady smiled, "It's your old fellow's blessing....finally you can rest, you can let go of these things outside your body." ”

"Daddy... The two of them knelt down at the same time, and choked on their heads and hands.

Wang Yizhang smiled weakly, and after ordering someone to send the old lady out, he looked at the two people who were kneeling and crying, and slowly exhaled: "Stop, we can't fight this time, no matter what, we must keep the name of Baohetang, even if there is only one name left..."

"Second uncle, second uncle... I've already asked Gu Niangzi to help...."Wang Hongbin knelt down, grabbed Wang Yizhang's hand and choked up.

"Do you want Gu Niangzi to help?" Wang Yizhang asked suddenly.

"Money" Wang Hongbin said, looking at Wang Yizhang with some expectation.

"Yes, Dad, she is Liu Gong's apprentice, and she inherits not only her skills, but also Liu Gong's money, Liu Gong has been in the pharmaceutical industry for decades, and she doesn't know how much money she has... And as long as she threatens to concoct cinnamon branches, everyone will definitely rush to send them, then the price of this cinnamon branch will definitely be rolling..."Wang San Master was also excited.

Wang Yizhang smiled with self-deprecation and shook his head, "Hong Bin, if the doctor does not cure the person who will die, don't you understand, the inside of our Baohetang has been rotten for too long, and if you move first, you may be able to save your body, if you are angry again, then it will be ......"

"Dad, as long as we survive this breath, as long as we hoard another batch of cinnamon branches, the situation can be reversed...."Master Wang San was already excited by his words, and said with his fists clenched.

Wang Yizhang looked at Wang Hongbin, although Wang Hongbin didn't speak, the expression on his face was obviously the same idea.

"That's it, you guys go..."Wang Yizhang slowly closed his eyes and whispered, "I'm tired...."

Wang Hongbin and the two glanced at each other, and finally bowed their heads in response, and retreated.

"The so-called competition, one must have the conditions for a fight, the second must have the means to win, and the third must have the opportunity to win...."Xin Chaoyang sat in front of the table, and the two beautiful maids beside him made tea with elegant movements.

"This move of the Wang family is really as the eldest young master expected, and it has committed the taboo of merchants not to be rash and not to fight in anger." Across from him sat two old men, smiling, holding teacups and tasting them gently.

Hurried footsteps sounded from outside the door, and Xin Chaoling rushed in with two older men.

"So we're going to take our leave." The two old men stood up and said with a smile.

Xin Chaoyang stood up, looked at the two maids beside him with a smile, and the maids understood, put down the tea set in their hands, and stood behind the two old men obediently.

The two old men glanced at each other, looked at Xin Chaoyang and said with a smile: "What does this mean, young master?" ”

"These two girls cook a good hand of tea, I don't know how to make tea, it's a waste to keep it, I heard that the second elder knows this well, the so-called sword gift hero, and I hope the second elder smiles." Xin Chaoyang said with a smile.

The second elder laughed, and Chongxin Chaoyang arched his hand, "Then thank you for the kindness of the eldest young master." ”

Xin Chaoyang returned the salute with a smile, and the second elder turned around and walked out, and the two maids followed each other in broken steps.

"This letter is a young man..."One of the old men looked back at the small pavilion surrounded by green bamboos, and nodded with a bit of approval, "Knowing the interest, knowing the people, knowing the heart, it is really not a busy person." ”

The other old man nodded, twisted his beard and said: "This medicine store in the capital is also time to be fresh, Baohetang, old...."

Seeing the two old men leaving, Xin Chaoling hurriedly said, "Big brother, it's not good, Gu Niangzi has returned to Beijing." ”

Xin Chaoyang sighed and looked at him, "This is a good thing, haven't you missed her for a long time?" ”

Xin Chao Ling sneered, and glared at the two young men next to him who were covering their mouths and stealing fun, "I want to take care of Niangzi's money, but since that time, Gu Niangzi has quit the casino, it's a pity....."

Xin Chaoyang smiled slightly, "It's not embarrassing, you're not the only one thinking about her money...."

Without waiting for Xin Chaoling to say more, he reached out and picked up the dark green cloak on the side and strode out.

"Hey, big brother, where are you going?" Xin Chaoling hurriedly asked.

"I miss her too, see you."

Throwing down this sentence, the letter went away.

Xin Chaoling had a strange face and looked at the two young people beside him, "Really? ”

"Fake." The two young men shrugged their shoulders and said in unison, "Big brother never thinks about people. ”

"Also, for the eldest brother, people have something to think about, it's too simple...."Xin Chaoling also shrugged his shoulders and patted the shoulders of the two, "Go, go, let's not be like him, we have to think about it, there is a new sister in Yihong Mansion, I'm in for a treat...."

Hearing that Xin Chaoyang was coming, Gu Bainiang, who was saying goodbye to Lingbao, couldn't help but be stunned.

"Please." She stood up, straightened her clothes, and greeted her with a smile.

Outside the door, Xin Chaoyang stepped over, looking at Gu Bainiang and standing with a smile.

"What, the eldest young master has come to invite me to appreciate gardenias?" She laughed.

The figure has not changed, and she is still wearing the old year's spring shirt, but Xin Chaoyang flashed a trace of thought, this girl has changed.

As for what had changed, he couldn't tell, and he couldn't help but carefully sweep his gaze over her eyebrows.

Sitting in the living room, Lingbao took the maid to pour tea, then retreated left and right, and stood behind Gu Bainiang.

After a simple greeting to each other, Gu Bainiang took a sip of tea and said, "There is something I want to ask the eldest young master." ”

"Please." Xin Chaoyang replied.

"I don't know much about business, I heard that Boholtang fought with the medicine shed because of the purchase and sale of cinnamon branches, what's going on?" Gu Bainiang looked at him and asked.

"You're right." Xin Chaoyang smiled, "This is what we have done in a lifetime." ”

Gu Bainiang's face was slightly stunned.

"Isn't that unusual?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Xin Chaoyang turned the teacup and said with a smile, "The world's business is for the sake of interests, and there are so many benefits in total, if you make more, I will earn less, but if you do business, you want to make more money by yourself, it shouldn't be strange, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

"Nope." Gu Bainiang smiled bitterly, "I'm not surprised by this, but the strange young master told me so happily that it was for." ”

Xin Chaoyang put down the teacup, looked at her plastic surgery and said, "If I want to say, don't meddle in this matter if you want Gu Niangzi, what does Gu Niangzi think?" ”

"My idea is that the eldest young master guessed that." Gu Bainiang also replied slowly with a solemn expression.

"I can tell Gu Niangzi, this time even if you go bankrupt, you can't keep Baohetang." Xin Chaoyang said lightly.

Gu Bainiang nodded, "I know." But something has to be done, isn't it? ”

"Yes." Xin Chaoyang nodded, "So, I don't want Gu Niangzi to give up helping..."

Gu Bainiang was stunned again, with a little puzzlement on her face.

"I just want to tell Gu Niangzi that I am a businessman who only knows how to turn his head in the eyes of copper coins, so this time you do what you should do, I don't blame you, I do what I should do, and you don't blame me." Xin Chaoyang raised his eyes to look at her and said slowly.
