Chapter 18 The Gentleman
At this moment, Qin Kang and Qin Guoliang both understood. It had been several days since they arrived in Ba and they naturally knew that this place was an extremely closed place. It is not easy for outsiders to open up the situation here, let alone find out the news. The only way is to really use this method of doing business and making friends, and slowly explore.
Qin Kang nodded and asked, "Then what am I going to do?" ”
Wu Yuan said: "Talking about business, selling goods, selling goods, and buying goods are all things that I, a housekeeper, do." As for you, young master? Naturally, you have to be a good third young master of the Ming family, so that the families in Ba Province will not be vigilant, so that they can be willing to get close to you and tell you all kinds of news at the wine table. ”
To be a gentleman?
Qin Kang has never been a gentleman in his life, and Qin Guoliang has no chance to be a gentleman. However, Qin Kang is confident that he can play this role well. Because, if you haven't eaten pork, can you still see a pig run?
In the first half of Qin Kang's life, the person he dealt with the most was the gentleman. This includes his father, the former Duke of Liguo. That's a flower. Still a super loser. Influenced by his old man, this generation of the Qin family, except for a few, is basically a gentleman. This includes Qin Ping, the Duke of Liguo of this generation. That is, Qin Mingyue's father.
After watching too many performances of his father and brothers and brothers, can Qin Kang still play this role?
Qin Kang and Qin Guoliang memorized their own information with their hearts and figured out their roles with their hearts.
Seeing Qin Kang and Qin Guoliang so serious, Wu Yuan and Hong Yi were very satisfied.
In the evening, Wu Yuan found Qin Kang and Qin Guoliang and said, "It's only been a day, and we have received a lot of invitations from trading houses and families. Among them, I have been in contact with several commercial houses as a housekeeper. I chose one, please Third Young Master, you'd better participate today. ”
Qin Kang asked, "Which one is it?" ”
Wu Yuan said: "It is the ancient family of the Eight Great Families. The eight families in Ba Province are basically indigenous and all of them are people of the hundred ethnic groups. Among them, this ancient family, specializing in all kinds of medicinal materials, opened a shop such as Derentang. Of course, the family has all kinds of grocery stores. Therefore, there is also a great demand for various specialties in the capital and Zhili Province. They had already done business with some families in the capital. Most of the medicinal materials exported from Ba Province are exported by the ancient family. ”
"The name of the current head of the Gu family is Gu Chuanshi, and the young master Gu Weixiong. Gu Chuanshi is not only a master of the apricot forest, but also a first-class master of the seven grades of martial arts. Gu Weixiong heard that he also entered the martial arts three products. They were all the wind wolf clans with a medium number among the hundred clans. Although they are not many in number, they have a good relationship with all ethnic groups because they are good at medicine. He can receive excellent medicinal materials from all ethnic groups, and often treat people of all ethnic groups. It has a great reputation and is very respected in Ba Province. Its stronghold is mainly in the Northwest Wind Bamboo City. ”
"The ancient heirloom is stationed in Wind Bamboo City all year round, which is the territory of the Wind Wolf Clan. In the big mansion in the provincial capital, it is the young lord Gu Weixiong who is in charge. His medical Tao is also good, but he is sitting in the Deren Hall in the provincial capital Jiangcheng, but there are several medical masters from the clan. Gu Weixiong is only responsible for all aspects of business and the management of various general affairs. ”
"Since we want to buy all kinds of good medicinal materials, we naturally have to deal with the Gu family more."
"In addition, to find an opportunity, we also have to get in touch with the people of the Shui family. Among the eight great families, the Shui family is not as popular as the Gu family. The race of the Shui family is the eerie and terrifying, brave and ruthless Yin Snake Clan. They are better at making drugs. Since ancient times, everyone who has made poison is a person who is skilled in medicine. Therefore, they can often find another way to cure some diseases that the ancient family can't cure. It's just that there are still a few such cases, and most of them directly kill people. Therefore, the people of all ethnic groups did not dare to offend the people of the Shui family, nor did they dare not befriend the people of the Shui family. ”
"If we want to collect more precious medicinal materials, it is not enough to be an ancient family, but also rely on a strange family like the Shui family to have some rare medicinal materials to treasure."
"By the way, I forgot to tell you, this ancient family has believed in Taoism for generations. It has a good relationship with the Central Plains Daomen, and even has a good relationship with the national teachers of the past dynasties. They are also responsible for providing some special medicinal herbs from Ba Province to the Star Picking House every year. The current head of the Gu family has also received guidance from Shen Guoshi. He has great respect for Shen Guoshi. ”
"The Shui family is the opposite, most of them believe in mysterious and weird witches. It is said that there are several masters of witchcraft in the clan. That's exactly what we're going to look at in detail. ”
"In addition, I want to talk about the situation of the Yun family. The affairs of the Yun family, we know the most about the Qin Wangfu. His Royal Highness King Qin specially explained that he had a close relationship with the Yun family, and when he and Miss Mingyue arrived in Ba Province, they would take a trip to the Yun family's Cloud City. Therefore, we don't need to investigate the affairs of the Yun family along the way. Of course, if there's anything, it's good to know about it. Let's focus on the Gu family and the water family first. ”
"There is also the Bai family, the Bai family is the family of the Bai Feng clan, the Bai Feng clan is the largest hundred ethnic groups in Ba Province, with the largest population and the most widely distributed. Second only to us Han Chinese. Unlike the other seven families, the Bai family's clan land is Dujiang City. Therefore, the most powerful person in Dujiang City is the Bai family. Their family mainly deals in goods from the north and south, and this time it is also the object of our observation. ”
Qin Kang and Qin Guoliang listened carefully.
After Wu Yuan finished his introduction, he said to Qin Kang: "Please prepare the third young master, and go to the Linshui Restaurant in Dujiang City for a banquet in the evening, right?" ”
Qin Kang nodded and said, "Isn't this the period of the national funeral?" Dujiang City, I still think it's singing and dancing? ”
Wu Yuan said with a smile: "This province is a semi-foreign place that the national dynasty acquiesces into, and even the jurisdiction of the government is much smaller than that of ordinary places, not to mention such a thing as a national funeral." People of all ethnic groups don't care about the affairs of the Queen Mother in the capital. Naturally, they live as they should. Let's do as the locals do. ”
Qin Kang thought about it, but he still turned out a newly made brocade robe embroidered with dark patterns on a white background and put it on. These luxurious clothes were made recently. After all, Qin Kang's family was not wealthy before, where were these gorgeous clothes, but now that he wants to play the luxurious third young master of the Ming family, he naturally buys a lot of things from the inside out. Among them are all kinds of clothes, all kinds of jade pendants, tiaras, hairpins, etc. Even the fan in your hand is the most exquisite.
Qin Kang and Qin Guoliang were well dressed, both of them were white or cyan dresses, wearing a crown of gold and jade, a jade belt tied around their waists, a jade pendant of good color, and a scribe's fan in their hands. Above is a flower and bird pattern. It looks like a dirty son.
