Sheng Wei also realized that he was a little out of shape, smiled awkwardly, and sat back in his seat. After a short period of calming down, Sheng Wei quickly regained the bearing that a wealthy businessman in Youyang should have.

He retreated left and right, and asked solemnly, "I don't know what the virtuous nephew has?" The old man listened attentively. ”

Wei Chen said: "It's very simple, starting a fruit wine workshop specializing in the production of fruit wine, this shouldn't be difficult for uncle, right?" ”

"It's not hard." Sheng Wei said without thinking, "But according to the old man, it is tedious and time-consuming to start from scratch, so it is better to buy a ready-made fruit wine workshop directly and save a lot of trouble, what does the virtuous nephew think?" ”

"Uncle can do these things by himself." Wei Chen waved his hand disapprovingly, and said: "This workshop is here, where is the fruit wine produced and sold, and my uncle has a way?" ”

Sheng Wei said confidently: "Virtuous nephew, rest assured, my Sheng family firm is all over the south of the Yangtze River, with strong strength, and has close contacts with various restaurants and inns, as long as the fruit wine produced by the winery is the same as what you and I drink today, even if there are many old husbands, they can sell it." ”

Hearing this, Wei Chen smiled noncommittally.

The Sheng family is indeed a bull's ear in the Youyang business community, but when it comes to Jiangning Mansion, the influence is a little insufficient, let alone the entire Jiangnan? Sheng Wei: This is simply bragging, not playing drafts!

Wei Chen knew that Sheng Wei was showing off his strength to himself, so that he could take the initiative in the next negotiations.

However, in Wei Chen's view, this is just a clear proof of Sheng Wei's weakness, if Sheng Wei is really as confident as he shows, why should he deliberately exaggerate his own strength?

Sure enough, seeing that Wei Chen didn't speak, Sheng Wei couldn't hold back a little and asked, "Virtuous nephew, after talking so much, you haven't said how to divide this sub?" ”

Wei Chen took a sip of the tea bowl and said leisurely: "The Sheng family is forty percent, I am forty percent, and the rest is my aunt and uncle's." ”

"What?" No matter how good Sheng Wei is, he can't help frowning at this time: "The old man has to be responsible for sales when he contributes money and efforts, and only accounts for forty percent?" That's it, why did Wei Ruyi and Zhang Ming take up 20% for nothing? ”

Wei Chen smiled slightly: "I can make the fruit wine of three cents reborn, it is worth a hundred times, and I am the only one in the world, the kid thinks that it is worth sixty percent." As for my aunt and uncle's share, it was divided from my sixty percent. ”

Sheng Wei fell silent, and after a long time, he spoke again: "What if the old man doesn't want to?" ”

When Wei Chen saw Sheng Wei's expression, he knew that he had already moved, but he felt that Wei Chen had too many shares, and he was still a little unwilling in his heart, and he was unwilling to agree so easily.

Wei Chen suddenly said: "Dare to ask uncle, why did you spare no effort to set up a righteous school?" ”

Wei Chen's topic jumped too far at once, Sheng Wei didn't react for a while, and subconsciously replied: "Naturally, it is to contain Gu Han, there is no class of education, and there is no class to make up for what the officials can't learn." ”

Wei Chen said: "Uncle, there are only you and me here, why do you deliberately make such an official article?" Please also tell my uncle the truth. ”

Sheng Wei was silent, but the expression on his face betrayed him, proving that he was not at peace at the moment.

Seeing that Sheng Wei refused to say, Wei Chen didn't ask again, but continued: "Uncle knows, when Master Xuezheng asked me what reward I wanted that day, why didn't I want it, but gave the reward to Yixue?" ”

Sheng Wei's expression changed again and again, gritted his teeth and said: "In this matter, it is the old man who has accepted your love, the fruit wine workshop counts you as thirty percent, and the Zhang family and his wife are one percent, no more!" ”

When Sheng Wei said this, he looked in pain, but Wei Chen didn't answer his words, smiled noncommittally, and said, "Dare to ask uncle, why did you marry Ling Aixu to Sun Zhigao?" ”

"Wei Chen!"

Hearing Wei Chen's words, Sheng Wei's face suddenly became gloomy, and the cold glint in his eyes made people shudder.

Wei Chen didn't see Sheng Wei's ugly expression, and continued to take care of himself: "The kid dared to guess, probably because Sun Zhigao was twelve years old when he was in Xiucai, and my uncle felt that he had a bright future, and in the future, he would become another towering tree that sheltered the Sheng family, just like the grand adults in Yangzhou, right?" ”

"It's a pity that it's too late, and it's not necessarily good, Sun Zhigao still disappointed his uncle in the end."

When Wei Chen said this, his words changed abruptly, his eyes looked directly at Sheng Wei, and asked, "Uncle thinks that I am higher than Sun Zhigao?" ”

Sheng Wei was stunned, and said in a softened tone: "You also want to be my son-in-law?" I have a little daughter, who is about your age......"

"Ahem, uncle laughed."

Wei Chen coughed a few times embarrassedly, hurriedly stopped Sheng Wei's words, and continued: "The kid is not talented, he is only ten years old this year, and he has already been appreciated by the Xuezheng Adult. ”

Sheng Wei nodded secretly, and said that Weichen was right.

When Wang Xuezheng took the school Weichen exam that day, Sheng Wei saw that he had the intention of accepting apprentices, and the reason why it didn't happen in the end, Sheng Wei guessed that it was probably because Wang Xuezheng was the chief examiner of the college examination, and Wei Chen was likely to take the college exam soon, and Wang Xuezheng could only be forced to avoid suspicion.

But even if he doesn't have the name of master and apprentice, Wang Xuezheng's appreciation and support for Wei Chen has already been overflowing, and everyone in the officialdom of Jiangnan Province knows it.

In the first three passes of the imperial examination, the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination are all not vague, the main examination of the county examination is the county, the main examination of the government examination is the prefect, and the main examination of the college examination is the study of politics.

Needless to say, Wei Chen is almost stable, so will the prefect and the prefect risk offending Xuezheng and depose Wei Chen in the first two rounds of exams?

Nine times out of ten, the answer is no.

As long as Wang Xuezheng is in Jiangnan Province for one day, Wei Chen's talent and fame are booked, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can be caught.

At this point, Sheng Wei finally understood what Wei Chen was trying to say.

Sheng Wei's running a righteous school, marrying a daughter, and befriending his cousin, all kinds of behaviors are all for one thing in the final analysis, that is, to build a political umbrella for himself.

And today's Weichen has the potential to be as good as Sun Zhigao back then.

Wei Chen was asking, did Sheng Wei dare to bet on him in advance, betting that he would not repeat Sun Zhigao's mistakes!

As for the part of the fruit wine workshop, it is not only a bet, but also a favor, Sheng Wei takes a step back now, and he will get more generous returns in the future!

Sheng Wei stared at Wei Chen's eyes, trying to see if there was an old monster's soul living in this small body.

A mere ten-year-old child can see the world to such a point, what kind of evil is this?

Wei Chen smiled, Shi Shiran looked at Shang Shengwei's gaze, his eyes were full of greenness and innocence.

The two looked at each other for a long time, but after all, Sheng Wei was defeated first, and sighed dejectedly: "That's it, just do as you say." ”

Wei Chen was also relieved when he heard this.

Don't look at the appearance that he was calm and relaxed just now, pointing out the country, but in fact, he has been carrying a heart, trembling, walking on thin ice, for fear of showing cowardice in front of Sheng Wei.

Sheng Wei is an old fox like him, the profundity of the city is not comparable to Wei Chen, if it weren't for the previous Yixue's favor, even if Wei Chen held the glycerin formula in his hand and Wang Xuezheng was covered by it, Sheng Wei would never be so good at talking.

"In the final analysis, I am still too weak and lack of confidence!"

Wei Chen sighed secretly, and became more and more determined in his belief in gaining fame.

After the discussion of the fruit wine workshop, Wei Chen will not stay longer, it is not too early, he has to return to Yixue today, and he will get up and say goodbye immediately.

Just walked a few steps, but heard Sheng Wei behind him suddenly speak: "Virtuous nephew, the old man was not joking when he talked about the little girl before......

Wei Chen's figure stagnated slightly, and then he hurriedly quickened his pace and went out as if he had fled.

Sheng Wei sat upright in the hall, looked at Wei Chen's back, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and muttered: "Young man, after all, he is still a young man......"
