Chapter 19 The East Window Incident
Xu Changting did not bring He Chengtian's daughter He Ye'er back to the house on the same day, he still needs to ask his eldest sister Xu Changhong's opinion on this matter, and also ask He Chengtian to discuss it with his daughter.
If people are unwilling, they will naturally not be reluctant, if they are willing, and the eldest sister has no objections, then everyone will naturally be happy.
But in any case, today's trip to Banlong Village still made Xu Changting very satisfied.
The idea of the brewery combines the topography and mountain springs of Banlong Village, which can be described as unique, and He Chengtian's discovery made Xu Changting quite confident in opening an academy, but all this in the initial stage, in addition to manpower, also requires a lot of money.
And Xu Changting is now ...... It can be described as a poor jingle rattle.
As soon as the three of them rode three horses into the city, they saw a carriage on the opposite side hurrying away, raising gusts of dust, frightening chickens and dogs on both sides of the street, and pedestrians frowning and looking sideways to avoid.
When he saw Xu Changting and the three of them riding horses to make way for him, Li Chengxin hurriedly slapped the carriage and signaled the driver to stop quickly.
When the carriage stopped, it had already staggered a long distance from Xu Changting and the others, which showed how fast the carriage was.
"Xu Gongzi ......." Li Chengxin roared in the street, Xu Changting hurriedly tightened the reins of the horse, and looked back at Li Chengxin who got out of the car and ran to his side.
"What's wrong? Is the Lanting cloth shop on fire? Before Li Chengxin ran to him, Xu Changting condescendingly ridiculed.
It's rare to see Li Chengxin, who has always been steady and methodical, so anxious, why can't he let go of this opportunity to ridicule and ridicule?
"No, it's ...... It's your eldest sister who went to Lanting Cloth again today. Li Chengxin tilted his head, then patted Xu Changting's leg and motioned for him to dismount and speak.
"Just go, what? Could it be that I am afraid that my sister and they will use your cloth and use the Lanting cloth shop poorly? Xu Changting said lightly as he dismounted.
"Xu Gongzi, it's exposed. You still have the heart to tease me, you better take care of your own situation first. Li Chengxin held the reins of the horse for Xu Changting, and said with a difficult face: "In addition to your eldest sister today, there is also your mother, and then ...... The little girl in Jiangnan didn't pay attention, so she said that she leaked her mouth. ”
"What did you say?" Xu Changting was in a trance, and a bad premonition faintly rose in his heart.
Yesterday, Xu Changting bought a lot of good fabrics at a price of ten cents, and the eldest sister Xu Changhong felt a little uneasy at that time, and even thought that Xu Changting was relying on his father's power to oppress the good.
It's just that he happened to run into Liang Xingwen when he stopped it, and Xu Changhong, who didn't want to have more contact with Liang Xingwen, gave up, so he thought about coming over today to make up for the Lanting cloth line.
And after Xu Changting went out today, Xu Changhong told his mother Chu Ying about it, just as the so-called knowing son Mo Ruo's mother, Chu Ying felt that things should not be so simple after listening to the eldest daughter's story.
It is impossible for Xu Changting to know any businessmen in Danfeng City, as for Xu Changhong's speculation of bullying and goodness, Chu Ying is even more 10,000 disbelief, and out of curiosity, he came to Lanting Cloth with Xu Changhong.
Li Chengxin happened to be out of the cloth, Wu Jiangnan was stunned for a moment when he saw Xu Changhong, and after Xu Changhong expressed his intention and introduced Chu Ying's identity, Wu Jiangnan's attitude towards the two of them immediately changed greatly, and it can be said that he became extremely respectful and humble.
This made Xu Changhong feel surprised, and it made Chu Ying feel a little flattered.
As the saying goes, the best "weapon" to deal with women in the world has to be women, and in the face of the inquiries of the two women, Wu Jiangnan, who was already very nervous, was quickly defeated and became a spurned "traitor".
"You mean...... Your young lady and Changting have made a private agreement for life? Chu Ying unconsciously raised her voice, fortunately, in the morning, there were not many guests in the cloth shop.
Wu Jiangnan was a little nervous and tugged at the corners of her clothes, looking at the middle-aged beauty in front of her who was very temperamental, although she was very kind, but for some reason, Wu Jiangnan had a feeling of seeing her mother-in-law for Miss, which made her feel that she had been in a state of scrutiny.
"No, no, no, no......." Wu Jiangnan hurriedly waved his hand to deny that the two had made a private agreement for life, and said, "But ...... But I know that my young lady's affection for her son ....... ”
"How old is your young lady?" Chu Ying asked with a pleasant face.
"Sixteen." Wu Jiangnan raised his head and said hurriedly.
"You can make such a big business at the age of sixteen?" Xu Changhong was not only a little surprised, but felt incredible: "Your mansion has always been a businessman? ”
Wu Jiangnan was entangled, and then nodded and acquiesced: "Yes, we are businessmen, but ...... But the business of the Northern Wei Dynasty has always been taken care of by the young lady, but ...... In fact...... Our young lady is not an ordinary businessman...... either. Wu Jiangnan was a little incoherent and stammered.
The status of businessmen in society is very low, even the powerful people like wealth very much, even if everyone is inseparable from wealth, but the word businessman is often smeared with a derogatory color in the eyes of the world.
And Wu Jiangnan obviously didn't want Xu Changhong and Chu Ying to look down on their young lady, and he didn't want to hurt the young lady's heart because of other people's disagreement.
"Dare to ask your young lady's name?" Xu Changhong looked at his mother's gaze, and instantly asked.
"Miss's surname is Li, and her maiden name is Tsing Yi." Wu Jiangnan said seriously.
"I'm afraid it's not an ordinary businessman in Nantang, right?" Chu Ying asked softly, seemingly asking Wu Jiangnan, but also seemed to appease Wu Jiangnan's anxiety about the identity of a businessman.
Wu Jiangnan nodded hurriedly, as if he wished for the beautiful women in front of him, and did not treat them as ordinary businessmen.
At this time, Li Chengxin, who was holding the horse slowly for Xu Changting, continued to explain to Xu Changting: "Apart from these, I didn't ask anything else. Wu Jiangnan had no choice, so he had no choice but to accept the cloth money made up by your eldest sister. ”
"Wu Jiangnan, this traitor!" Xu Changting said speechlessly.
Li Cheng smiled knowingly, he knew that although Xu Changting said so, he would never regard Jiang Nanzhen as a traitor in his heart.
"Childe, you still have to think about it, after returning to the house for a while, how to deal with your eldest sister and mother. On my side, it is naturally based on what Wu Jiangnan explained today...... Li Chengxin said worriedly for Xu Changting.
Xu Changting nodded subconsciously, then suddenly stopped, stood on the crowded street, turned his head to look at Li Chengxin suspiciously, and asked, "What do you mean that your side is naturally based on what Wu Jiangnan said?" Could it be that Wu Jiangnan told my sister and my mother that it was fake? Li Qingyi is not a businessman? ”
Li Chengxin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, the son misunderstood, I mean that the matter between you and our young lady is naturally based on what Wu Jiangnan said." I'm not afraid...... I'm afraid that your eldest sister and mother will misunderstand that you and your young lady have made a private lifelong ....... ”
"Is that what you mean?" Xu Changting still asked with some disbelief.
"That's what it means! Or else? Li Chengxin spread his hands and looked honest.
Xu Changting took a deep breath, continued to walk forward, and after thinking for a while, asked, "When will Xie Jingyao come back?" ”
"Soon, it's estimated that it's only a few days." Li Chengxin hurriedly said, and secretly let out a sigh.
Li Chengxin's carriage followed far behind, Huo Nuer and the mallet also led the horse behind, and Li Chengxin kept helping Xu Changting lead the horse and walk in front with him.
"By the way, there is a brewing business, are you interested in Lanting Cloth Shop?" Xu Changting asked quietly.
"The winemaking business? Doesn't Childe dislike drinking? Why do you still think about the sake brewing business? Li Chengxin asked a little strangely.
"Am I poor because I don't like money? If you don't like to drink, can't you start a sake business? Xu Changting asked rhetorically.
"This ...... That's right. Li Chengxin smiled and said, "Then I don't know what Childe's plans are?" Or the same rules you made with your young lady before? ”
"What are you thinking, you used to let your young lady take advantage of it, but this time it's not so easy. Besides, if you go and see our family, how poor they have become? How long has it been since I returned to Danfeng City, and the addition at home is still empty, if I am not short of money, I will not buy your fabric for ten cents. Two-one adds five, you pay for it, and I will do the rest. Xu Changting said lightly.
"Twenty-one is added to five, you and Miss are one and half, then it is naturally possible." Li Chengxin replied without hesitation.
Then Xu Changting said casually: "But this matter is also very anxious, you have to come up with five thousand taels of silver within three days, otherwise, I am afraid that after missing the opportunity, I will have to make plans next year." ”
"No problem, I don't need to ask Miss about this matter, I can make the decision. By the way, whether the five thousand taels of silver will be sent to the house or to the ...... designated by the son. Li Chengxin was straightforward for a while, and after saying half of it, especially when Xu Changting slowly turned around and stared at him, Li Chengxin realized that the lie he had just told yesterday had been exposed.
"Hey...... Xu Gongzi, here's the thing...... You'll have to listen to me...... Xu Gongzi, slow down, you listen to me ....... Li Chengxin held nine catties and struggled to catch up with Xu Changting, who was speeding up.
After Li Chengxin caught up, Xu Changting sneered, and his originally pale face looked particularly mad: "If it weren't for the public, I would definitely let Huo Nuer beat you Li Chengxin into a pig's head!" ”
"Xu Gongzi, listen to my explanation, here's the thing, there is indeed something wrong with Miss's side, otherwise Xie Jingyao would not have gone back. Yes, I'll admit it, it's not about money, but Mademoiselle doesn't want you to worry...... So ....... Li Chengxin quickly explained.
Xu Changting slowed down, but didn't pay attention to Li Chengxin.
Li Chengxin's words, and the fact that he ran over to tell himself very nervously just now that his mother and eldest sister knew about his relationship with Li Qingyi, seemed a little unusual.
Yes, because of the war between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty, as well as the reason why his father was assassinating in Xining, the matter between himself and Li Qingyi could not be made public like ordinary people.
The war between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty was a matter between the two countries and had nothing to do with the people.
But his own people, after all, are the sons of Xu Zhongli, the assassin of Xining Prefecture, once this matter is taken to the court by someone with a heart to make a fuss, I am afraid that it will be really indisputable for their family.
couldn't stand Li Chengxin's noise in his ears, Xu Changting snatched the reins, waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't waste your tongue here, I don't blame you for this matter." ”
"Thank you, Childe." Li Chengxin immediately smiled, and then continued to ask: "What the boy just said about the brewery was to deceive me, or is it true?" ”
"No wonder Li Qingyi is relieved to be in charge of business in the Northern Wei Dynasty." Xu Changting said with a smile: "It's true, but this matter, I will mention it in the letter to Li Qingyi, as for what you need to do, just prepare the silver." ”
"Okay, I'll be at my son's orders at any time." Li Chengxin said modestly: "But if the amount of silver used by the prince is large, I hope that the son can inform me in advance, so that I can prepare in advance, so as not to miss the big event of the son." ”
Xu Changting waved his hand impatiently, making Li Chengxin quickly flash.
Mention the silver two Xu Changting is also a big head, this period there is no money, let alone silver tickets or anything, if someone uses a large amount of silver two, in fact, just the transportation is a very laborious thing, so that the dart game is particularly popular at this time.
