【Chapter 59】Stir up trouble
That expression was really exactly the same as when he squeezed the appearance of the ink marks back then.
The second son of Zhang's face immediately couldn't hold back, and he snorted for a while before he said, "Nanping is a small place, and Wei Gongzi probably hasn't heard of it......"
"No," Wei Linyuan shook his head and said, "Although Nanping is not a big place, it is also a town that must be passed through on the trade roads in the Juping area. I used to pass by several times when I was shopping for my uncle. I haven't heard of any big families in the area. ”
This time, even the ink marks that have not seen much of the world can be heard. Wei Linyuan deliberately embarrassed Zhang Ergongzi.
She immediately felt something strange. Although Wei Linyuan occasionally speaks freely in front of acquaintances, his personality can be said to be quite mellow, which is much better than Yan Zheng, who is also young and frivolous. Wei Linyuan made it so difficult for Zhang Ergongzi, didn't he have any special meaning?
"Hahaha, don't laugh at Gongzi Wei." After all, the owner of the Chamber of Commerce is an old man, and he started a round when he talked and laughed, "Although Zhang Ergongzi is not from a famous family, and his age is probably only a few years older than Wei Gongzi, he is already a small and accomplished businessman. It can really be said that there are talented people in the country. I'm afraid that an old bone like me will retire in a short time. ”
He deliberately diverted the topic, but Wei Linyuan had no intention of stopping.
"Shi Bo should be strong and energetic. I don't dare to say anything else, but my Wei family's business in Qiongmen will have to trouble you to take care of it for a few more years. Wei Linyuan responded to the master of the Chamber of Commerce with a gentle smile, but he obviously didn't intend to let Zhang Ergongzi go. His eyes flashed with a kind of determination that belonged to a young man, so he turned back and asked Zhang Ergongzi, "But I don't know what kind of achievements Shibo said?" ”
"This ......" Zhang Ergongzi was speechless for a while, and didn't speak for a long time.
The master of the Chamber of Commerce sighed softly and gave Wei Linyuan a look. Even Yu Moji, who has never been very skilled in terms of human feelings, can see that it means that Wei Linyuan is forgiving and forgiving.
Wei Linyuan seemed to be blind.
The owner of the Chamber of Commerce had no choice but to explain, "All of us here are our own people, so I'll just say this matter: the philosopher's stone that General Yuan wants to see is from the treasury of Zhang Ergongzi." ”
"It turns out that Second Prince Zhang has such a rare thing." Wei Linyuan made an expression of admiration, and said, "Although I am not talented, when I was studying, I also participated in some Yanjia studies in the martial arts hall. As far as I know, this is extremely rare. Since ancient times, there has only been one mecha box, which is still stored in the cardinal's house; After that, many people went to look for it, but they were never found. But I don't know how Zhang Ergongzi's piece of philosopher's stone came about? ”
Most of the Yanjia that Wei Linyuan learned in the lecture hall were second-hand goods that had been relayed by Yu Moji. But Yu Moji heard that the Jinshi was already a matter after she left Aige. So, where did Wei Linyuan know?
The more Yu Moji listened, the more puzzled he became, and he held a piece of fried duck breast with chopsticks in his hand, and he didn't eat it for a long time.
Next to her, Yuan Pingzhi poked her lightly, and said with a low smile, "Eat first, don't delay." ”
Over there, Zhang Ergongzi was already anxious for Wei Linyuan, and finally spoke, "Wei Gongzi, don't deceive people too much." For merchants, sourcing information is the most important thing, how can I talk to you? ”
In fact, his words were quite shrewd, and those who were interested in hearing them would definitely get the topic over. But Wei Lin is far from being interested.
"Second Prince Zhang's words are wrong." Wei Lin said from afar, "Although the philosopher's stone is a strange commodity, after all, it is something that the government is staring at, and I am afraid that only an institution like the Cardinal Council can afford to be a buyer." As for the others, even if they buy this thing, to put it bluntly, they can only be second-hand dealers. Therefore, if General Yuan is unwilling to buy the philosopher's stone in the end, I am afraid that all the uncles and uncles here will not have any special interest. ”
When Zhang Ergongzi heard this, he glanced at Yuan Pingzhi very worriedly, as if he was afraid that he would suppress the bid because of Wei Linyuan's words. The master of the Chamber of Commerce smiled bitterly, and had to admit that Wei Linyuan had a point.
"But if Zhang Ergongzi is willing to sell the source information, it will be different." Wei Linyuan slowly scooped a spoonful of soup and continued, "Even though I don't know the specific location of the philosopher's stone, I have also roughly heard that this product is produced in the high mountains of Xiliang. It is a place where Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and there are many legends from ancient times to the present. In addition to philosopher's stones, there must be other special products. If Er Gongzi Zhang can reveal one or two, my Wei family is interested in cooperating with you. ”
He paused, and then said with a smile, "I just tried my best to interrogate Second Prince Zhang's family history, and I also hope that the person I will work with in the future is a real and reliable person." Don't be angry. ”
Yu Mochen looked at his face that suddenly became very sincere, and he didn't understand what Wei Linyuan was doing.
Zhang Ergongzi seemed to have been moved by what he said, he stopped talking for a while, and then said, "Wei Gongzi's proposal is really attractive. But I still have to ...... first Let's talk to my brother first......"
"Oh?" Wei Linyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "It turns out that you can't make your own decisions, Second Prince Zhang?" ”
"Nature...... Naturally, you can. Zhang Ergongzi's face was distorted because of anxiety, "It's just a brother......"
"Zhang Ergongzi behaved like this, but I was a little puzzled." Wei Linyuan didn't give him time to explain, and interjected quite strongly, "This is just my young and reckless, everyone laughs when I say it, please don't be surprised - Zhang Ergongzi, you are really a seller?" Isn't someone pushing him out and posing as a puppet? ”
Before the second prince could speak, the master of the Chamber of Commerce had already changed color and said, "Wei Gongzi's words are too much. He stroked his long beard and said solemnly, "Although the old man has always admired Wei Gongzi's young talent, since he has some friendship with your uncle and is also an elder, he still has to be verbose at this time, don't speculate so groundlessly......"
Wei Linyuan seemed to really think he was verbose, and even interrupted, "Unprovoked? I know the details of this second son. He smiled very coldly, and then said to Zhang Ergongzi, "You are indeed from Nanping, and you are indeed the second in line." Your name is Zhang Ergou, isn't it? ”
When Wei Linyuan said the three words "Zhang Ergou", he was particularly serious; When Yu Moji heard this, he almost laughed.
Yuan Pingzhi suddenly coughed lightly, so frightened that Yu Moji immediately stuffed a venison patty into his mouth, forcibly blocking back the smile that was about to fly up his cheeks.
Yuan Pingzhi didn't seem to notice her, but just smiled faintly, "This is a very interesting name." However, I have also heard that in many places south of the Jiayuan River, in order to raise the male in the family safely, there will be some special comparisons...... Bizarre nicknames, even dressed as little girls' homes, are also available. ”
When Zhang Ergou heard this, he immediately cast his grateful gaze. Yuan Pingzhi didn't pay attention to him, but deliberately glanced at Yu Moji, as if Yu Moji was the unlucky child who was raised by his parents as a little girl.
"I have always heard that General Yuan is familiar with the customs and customs of various places, and when I see it today, it is true. It's just that the general has lived in the imperial capital for a long time after all, and there are some details, I'm afraid that there are some omissions. Wei Linyuan looked like a white-eyed wolf at this moment, as if he had completely forgotten the teacher-student relationship between him and Yuan Pingzhi in the past.
He explained in a serious way, "We southerners do give children nicknames that don't stand on the stage; But once you grow into a man, you have to use a scientific name anyway. I am nearly seventeen this year, and this Zhang Ergou son is a few years older than me, and he has long been an adult. The word 'two dogs' is a big name. ”
"Young Master Wei," the master of the Chamber of Commerce looked already ugly, "You are the son of a dignified family, how can you be so stubborn that you even have to make fun of other people's names?" ”
"Alas," Wei Linyuan suddenly sighed and said in submission, "Shibo, you are an elder after all, and if you want to teach me a lesson for my father, I can only obey." Although he said this politely, he completely disliked the other party's nosy tone.
Yu Mochen didn't know why his attitude suddenly turned around again, and when he was puzzled, he turned his head and saw Yuan Pingzhi's finger tapping on the table "unintentionally", and suddenly guessed something.
The owner of the Chamber of Commerce was about to have another attack, but Wei Linyuan rushed to say, "Come on, I know that our Qiongmen pays attention to a 'don't sigh when eating', since Shibo wants to be angry, then the next words that will hurt the peace, I will keep it when I use tea." Let's eat first. ”
But after Wei Linyuan's stirring, except for the ink marks that have never seen much of the world and are almost conquered by food, who else can eat it?
Yuan Pingzhi looked around and understood everyone's thoughts, so he took the lead in gently putting down his toothbrush and said gently, "Thank you for your host's hospitality." After using this meal, Yuan was quite happy physically and mentally. ”
Although the number of etiquette should be at the discretion of the host, everyone knows that in this table, Yuan Yizhi is the real superior. Now that he has put down his chopsticks, the rest of the people are as good as a stream, and they have urged this troublesome banquet to end quickly with praise.
Yu Moji was originally very interested in the Longjing Zhusun that had just been presented, but when he saw this, he had to swallow his saliva silently.
As soon as the incense piece was served, Yuan Yizhi opened his mouth and made a step for Wei Linyuan, "If Wei Gongzi has anything to say, according to the rules here, he can talk about it now." ”
His style of looking lively and not thinking of a big deal at the moment was rare in the past. Yu Mojin also said before that today, Yuan Pingzhi and Wei Linyuan both collided with evil, and they said some inexplicable things one by one; But at this moment, no matter how slow Rao is to react, she also saw some clues.
Wei Linyuan was really good, he thanked Yuan for it, and said, "Before speaking, I also asked Shibo to borrow me a rope to tie the dog and tie this Zhang Ergou son." ”
