Chapter 9: The Big Backer
Lin Qingyu wanted to go out, but Su Liyun persuaded her not to go out.
She felt strange, so she pulled Su Liyun's arm with a smile and said, "Why doesn't my mother let me go out, I'll go buy a gadget and I'll be back soon, with the maids with me, can I still get lost?" β
"There was a bit of chaos outside, and there were a lot of people gathered at the door to watch the excitement, and it was blocked. This incident also made the Lin family restless, how can you rest assured if you want to go out like this? Su Liyun sat on the chair, looked at the delicate and moving daughter in front of her, patted the back of her hand, and coaxed her: "You, just stop for two days, and then go out to play when the limelight is over." β
"Why are there so many people at the door?" Lin Qingyu blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes swept over the lower eye sockets of some slight green shadows, and a trace of depth flashed in her eyes: "Look at the excitement? Is it because of Lin Suyao's matter? β
Su Liyun nodded, got up and walked to the dresser, opened a box, took out a jade Buddha pendant worn on a red rope, and walked to Lin Qingyu: "This is the jade Buddha that my mother begged, you wear it to reassure my mother." β
Lin Qingyu let Su Liyun put a pendant on her, put the pendant close to her clothes, and pretended to pout dissatisfiedly: "It's strange, why are these people so bored to come to our house to watch the excitement, but our house is not lively." β
"Who knows." Su Liyun sighed: "Maybe it was instigated by someone, and I don't know who it was aimed at." β
Lin Qingyu thought about it for a while, Lin Suyao is like this now, who else will add this fire? smiled slightly, there should only be Zhao Changge, right? At this time, Meng Dong had already left the Zhao family, and Zhao Changge couldn't find anyone, so he was annoyed and naturally had to settle accounts with Lin Suyao.
It was indeed as Lin Qingyu expected.
Meng Dong got back the deed of sale after leaving the Feng family that day, but the butler of the Zhao family didn't have time to inform Zhao Changge, so he rolled up and left. The big shopkeeper of the Snow Pavilion visited in person, and Zhao Duhu naturally sold this face directly.
Besides, the housekeeper didn't know about those things in the inner courtyard, thinking that he was just a little guy and didn't take this matter to heart. Until Zhao Changge found him with a frosty face, he just told him truthfully that it was the meaning of the head of the family.
Meng Dong hid in the backyard of the Snow Pavilion and didn't wait for Lin Qingyu until noon.
"You go and take a look too, I want to see for myself."
"Miss really doesn't need us to accompany you?" Miao Gui stood at the door of the Snow Pavilion, pouting in protest.
A dry maid was placed at the door of the Snow Pavilion, and they were naturally a little uneasy, and now that the Lin family was in an eventful autumn, they all wanted to follow Lin Qingyu step by step, for fear that something would happen again.
"No need." Lin Qingyu frowned: "If you don't worry, just wait here, but it may take a while." β
After she finished speaking, she entered the Snow Pavilion.
Snow Pavilion sells women's fat powder and delicate items, all of which are shipped from the north, and everything is very expensive here in Kyoto, the southern country, and it is a place where rich women come. And the person behind the shopkeeper is the leader of the Su Gang, the largest imperial merchant in the north, Su Liuzhuo.
The northern kingdom attaches great importance to commerce, and it is better to offend the Hou Wang than to offend the Su Gang.
Su Liuzhuo controls the passage of the commercial exchanges between the three countries, and his status is very high, so the shopkeeper of the Snow Pavilion is very comfortable here in Kyoto.
"Miss Six is here." The old shopkeeper of the Snow Pavilion, Ji Lao, walked out and was respectful to Lin Qingyu: "The person you want is placed in the backyard, do you want to go over now?" β
"No need, I think grandpa is already here." Lin Qingyu walked into the Snow Pavilion, ignored the dazzling things, and looked directly at Ji Lao: "I want to talk to my grandfather." β
"Second floor, please." Ji Lao made a gesture of please, but he didn't mean to go up. Looking at Lin Qingyu's back, the smile on her face was replaced by contemplation.
Su Liyun is Su Liuzhuo's lost daughter, Su Liuzhuo has looked for her for several years, but after finding someone, he didn't recognize Su Liyun's meaning. Su Liuzhuo did not hide his henchmen, and said that Su Liyun was useless to him.
He has many daughters and sons, and he is not bad for this one.
Su Liuzhuo is a good businessman, but he is just a businessman, Ji Lao knows, and Lin Qingyu naturally knows it.
Because it was Su Liuzhuo who rescued her from the Lin family in her previous life, she got the light, but she became Su Liuzhuo's pawn. Su Liuzhuo is a very ambitious person, who started from scratch and became a well-deserved first person in the shopping mall.
The Snow Pavilion is just a small flag that Su Liuzhuo placed in the southern country, and the relationship between the southern and northern countries is gradually stalemate, and a small snow pavilion has already been pressured by the southern court. If he wants his forces to penetrate the country, he can't swim against the tide like this.
So Lin Qingyu in her previous life was polished into a very good flag, but unfortunately later Lin Qingyu fell in love and slowly broke away from the Su Gang. Although Su Liuzhuo was helpless, with the channel that Lin Qingyu slowly gathered in his hands, he had already controlled half of the shopping mall in the south in his hands. Lin Qingyu is not so important to him.
Lin Qingyu sat on the side of the rosewood table, opposite Su Liuzhuo, whose hair had been mottled, and the mist of tea steaming from the mist was in the middle. Smoke rose from the small incense burner at the four corners, and the smell made people feel a little calmer.
"My grandfather was willing to see me, but I was flattered." Lin Qingyu was still a little apprehensive in the face of Su Liuzhuo, holding the lid of the teacup in her hand, she opened the tea leaves floating on the water, sniffed the smell, took a sip and didn't move again.
Su Liuzhuo likes to drink tea with a strong taste, but Lin Qingyu doesn't like tea, and she has no research on tea. Su Liuzhuo joked that she was a layman...... It's all a matter of a past life.
Lin Qingyu was worried about what Su Liuzhuo would see, after all, she also knew that the news of their mother and daughter had always been returned to Su Liuzhuo, although it was not a matter of detail, but Su Liuzhuo still knew a rough idea.
"You are different from your mother, I was very interested in what you said to Ji Xiu before, and I happened to be in Nanguo these days, so I came to talk to you." Su Liuzhuo is a majestic-looking man, wearing dark satin clothes, although his appearance is ordinary, his eyes are very sharp and deep, and he can see that he is a restrained and complex person: "If you have that ability, I am looking forward to multiple small shopkeepers." β
Lin Qingyu is small and looks aura, but some of them are not in line with the maturity of her peers. Su Liuzhuo is a person who loves talent and money, he has worked hard for most of his life, and he has seen all kinds of people and things, so he naturally will not underestimate anyone who may bring benefits to him.
"My grandfather has already established a trade channel between the three kingdoms of Loulan in the north and the three kingdoms in the south, and it would be better if there were more channels for the eastern kingdoms." Lin Qingyu smiled, directly said what Su Liuzhuo thought in his heart, and considered the words: "But it's just like the Silk Road in ancient times, not to mention how much financial and material resources it will cost, and it will be thankless if you don't do it well." β
"That's right" Su Liuzhuo squinted his eyes, playing with a small jade arc in his hand, and felt a little regretful: "The situation in the Eastern Countries is complicated, it is a combination of many small countries, if it stabs the hornet's nest, is it not a joke, the shopping malls in the Eastern Countries are chaotic, and it is not easy for a person to give up the place at his doorstep." β
"Everything is a good word." Lin Qingyu lowered her eyes and pursed her lips a little dry: "If there is a greater benefit, they will take the initiative to back down." β
"Oh?" Su Liuzhuo raised his eyebrows, and the movements in his hands paused.
"Grandpa is putting them under pressure, right?" Lin Qingyu asked suddenly, and the hand hidden under the sleeve tugged at the hem of the skirt, trying to keep her face from changing color, and showing some momentum to talk.
"Yes, if they are not forced by the water, how can they back down?" Su Liuzhuo nodded and laughed: "Do you have a better idea?" β
"Let them use the channels of the Su Gang." Lin Qingyu raised her eyes and looked directly at Su Liuzhuo's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts at a glance.
"Are you kidding?" The smile on Su Liuzhuo's face faded, his tone became a little colder, and his face was much more majestic: "Your idea is still too naΓ―ve, once they develop and fight against the Su Gang, this is playing with fire and self-immolation." If you want to conquer the wolves driven by profit, you don't feed your own meat! β
"Let them come out in order to open the barriers of the eastern kingdoms and slowly occupy this country." Lin Qingyu's palms were full of sweat: "Trading with them and issuing Su Bang's coins is not only a country in the east, it is only the first step." It is easiest to start from a closed country, and I believe that my grandfather's ambition is not only to seek profit among the great powers, but also that the era of conquering the country with weapons will pass, and it is the interests that really accommodate people's hearts. β
Lin Qingyu stopped after finishing speaking, and didn't say anything else.
Su Liuzhuo looked at Lin Qingyu for a long time, and suddenly slapped the table and laughed: "Okay, now it is the Su Gang that only relies on shops and the circulation of goods to make profits, and uses connections to scrape the market, if it is to use coins to ......" His shrewd eyes became very bright, although Lin Qingyu's statement sounded very naΓ―ve and rude, but for a careerist, it was enough enlightenment.
"This jade arc is given to you, and in the future, you will be the thirteenth leader of the Su Gang, but anyone on the road will have to call Miss Thirteen when they see you."
Lin Qingyu's name as the sixth lady in her previous life came from the ranking of the Su family, and in the end, she was just a chess piece on the surface. This time, it was unexpectedly reused by Su Liuzhuo.
This thirteen, what it means, she naturally knows.
Su Liuzhuo didn't decide casually, his generation was slowly getting older and needed young people. He felt that Lin Qingyu was a person who could be cultivated as a successor, if he looked away...... If it's a big deal, just destroy it with your own hands.
Lin Qingyu was holding a cold jade arc, the white jade surface was carved with complex patterns, and there was a trace of blue inside, which looked extremely beautiful and precious. She trembled a little in her heart, she just wanted to ask for protection, but now she was planted, and she didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.
"By the way, since you are the bloodline of my Su family, talk to your mother and put your name in the Su family tree." Su Liuzhuo said slowly, looking at Lin Qingyu, who was still young, was in a complicated mood, and if he rushed into the ambition of this little girl, he would also let her enter the Su Gang.
"Genealogy?" A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Qingyu's eyes, and her heart was filled with some joy: "Okay."
She understood why Su Liuzhuo would let her mother recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, it was nothing more than trying to use her mother to contain her. But for Su Liyun, who has a shaky background and is oppressed, he has a backer who is no less than the Kyoto Feng family.
Although I can't let the people of the south know, otherwise with the relationship between Lin Qingyu and Su Liuzhuo, there will be no way to make this chess piece, but there must be a lot of help in other aspects, and her mother will definitely be very happy.
