Chapter 161 lure him away
The next day, Yu Qingzhi sent Baicao to Yuanzhou City, and when he turned around, he met the brothers and sisters of the Zhuo family, Zhuo Wei and Zhuo Rou, who had not seen him for a long time.
"I've seen Yu Niangzi."
Yu Qingzhi smiled back, and asked with some curiosity, "Where are you going?"
Zhuo Rou pursed her lips and smiled, "We are preparing to go to Jiangfu."
"Jiangfu?"
Yu Qingzhi's eyes condensed slightly: "But there is a banquet in Jiang Mansion?"
Zhuo Rou shook her head: "It's not a banquet, it's Lord Jiang who asked us to go and discuss the merchants of Shuozhou City, and he said that he wants to gather all the merchants of Shuozhou City in one place to facilitate future management."
Yu Qingzhi was stunned, isn't this an alternative chamber of commerce?
Unexpectedly, Jiang Dingzhong actually wanted to control the merchants of the entire Shuozhou City.
At this moment, Zhuo Wei took over: "In fact, it is not only management, but also mutual advice and communication, as long as it is handled well, we can establish a connection between the merchants of Shuozhou City."
Yu Qingzhi smiled slightly: "I see, but I haven't been notified, I don't know if I can go to the Jiang Mansion with the two of you to observe?"
Zhuo Wei and Zhuo Rou exchanged glances, and both said that there was no problem.
"Lady Yu, please."
"Please, both."
Jiangfu.
Yu Qingzhi followed the Zhuo family brothers and sisters into the hall, and there were already many businessmen sitting inside, and when they saw the three of them, they got up to say hello.
After taking his seat, one of the middle-aged men pointed the finger at Yu Qingzhi.
"This is Yu Niangzi, right? He Ji's shop is still sealed by the government, right? Lady Yu is not in a hurry?"
Yu Qingzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, and instead of answering, he asked, "Why should I be in a hurry?"
As soon as these words came out, all the eyes in the hall fell on her.
After a short silence, the middle-aged man snorted coldly: "Yu Niangzi, don't be hard-mouthed, no one can keep calm about this kind of thing."
Yu Qingzhi shook her head with a smile, just as someone brought tea, she took it with both hands, took a shallow sip, and then set her eyes on the middle-aged man. Look at the book
"Ordinary people are really anxious when they encounter this kind of thing, but for me, it's just a few shops that can't do business, and the shops I own are not just these few in Shuozhou City."
The hall fell silent again, and the middle-aged man spoke several times, but he didn't know what to say.
When the atmosphere was awkward, Jiang Dingzhong stepped into the hall with the support of the two.
At a glance, he saw Yu Qingzhi sitting in the middle, and his eyebrows were slightly raised.
"One person dares to step into my Jiang Mansion, Yu Niangzi is really bold."
Yu Qingzhi replied lightly: "This Jiangfu is not a Longtan tiger's den, it can make people come and go, why don't I dare to come?"
Jiang Dingzhong smiled: "What Mrs. Yu said is reasonable, but can Mrs. Yu know the purpose of today?"
Yu Qingzhi raised his eyes and slowly straightened the hem of his clothes.
"I've heard a little, but I think that Lord Jiang's idea is a little too idealistic, and I'm afraid the truth will not be as Lord Jiang wishes."
"Oh?"
Jiang Dingzhong dragged out the end slightly, and his gaze fell on Yu Qingzhi's face with a bit of calculation.
"Then according to Yu Niangzi's thoughts, how can we realize what this official thinks?"
Yu Qingzhi stared at him, and after a brief pause, raised an eyebrow.
"This is a question that Lord Jiang should not ask me, but to all of you here, and ask them if they really want to join the place that Lord Jiang said is convenient to manage."
There was silence around them.
Jiang Dingzhong looked around, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Did you hear Mrs. Yu's words?"
A few moments later, an intermittent response rang out.
"I hear you."
"Master Jiang, I think your idea is very good."
"Yes, very good."
There are those who cater to Jiang Dingzhong, and there are those who point the finger at Yu Qingzhi, especially the previous middle-aged man
Sharp.
"If Yu Niangzi has a better way, she will come up with it, if not, let's say a few words, although Shuozhou City does not have a big defense of men and women, but women are still not as good as men in business."
Yu Qingzhi looked at him fixedly: "It's good to say that women can't do business as well as men, why don't you tell me about your business, so that I can look up and pay respect?"
The middle-aged man glared at Yu Qingzhi fiercely: "Why should I tell you about my business?"
At this moment, a soft voice sounded.
"Yu Niangzi, this family is in the restaurant business, but the restaurant can't keep customers, and it has been in a state of loss, as far as I know, it's almost time to close."
Zhuo Rou got up, obviously weak and delicate, but her eyes were full of indescribable sharpness.
"Lord Jiang invited me to come and form a cooperative relationship, and my Zhuo family agreed, but do you have to choose the people who are added here? You can't get anything in, can you? In that case, it would be unfair to the powerful party."
Zhuo Rou was neither humble nor arrogant, and the words hidden in the cotton made Jiang Dingzhong's face change, but more annoyed.
"There are a number of invitations sent by this official, where did you jump from? Come, throw him out."
"Yes!"
The guards of the Jiang Mansion rushed in, grabbed the middle-aged man and pushed him out.
"Wait, I have an invitation, I have an invitation, Master Jiang, don't you......"
The middle-aged man's mouth was covered and he quickly disappeared around the corner.
Yu Qingzhi looked fixedly at the place where the man had disappeared, and sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Dingzhong wouldn't think that everyone present was stupid, and he had to be able to believe it by pretending.
However, after such a thing, the businessmen present would not trust Jiang Dingzhong.
That kind of chamber of commerce can't be built.
As Yu Qingzhi thought, the atmosphere of the conversation after that seemed very strange, it was the one who catered to Jiang Dingzhong before, and the words at this time were also ambiguous.
Yu Qingzhi saw it in his eyes, and tasted tea by himself, as if he didn't care about the surrounding situation at all.
In just half an hour, the businessmen who came to Jiangfu offered their farewells one after another.
Yu Qingzhi fell last and was stopped by Jiang Dingzhong.
"Mrs. Yu's behavior today, this official has written it down."
Yu Qingzhi smiled lightly and nodded: "Got it, Lord Jiang, the people's daughter has retired."
Jiang Dingzhong couldn't wait to grit his teeth and kicked heavily on the pillar next to him.
"Who the hell put her in? Beat me, to death!"
The sound of begging for mercy resounded throughout Jiangfu.
On the other side, Yu Qingzhi returned to the He Mansion, and not long after he sat down, he heard a report from the porter.
"The brothers and sisters of the Zhuo family came to visit."
Yu Qingzhi raised his eyes slightly, why did they come?
After a moment's thought, she waved her hand and said, "Invite them in."
Not long after, the Zhuo brothers and sisters entered the hall.
The subordinates of the He Mansion brought tea and respectfully retreated.
Zhuo Rou took a sip of tea, and a smile spread from the bottom of her eyes when she raised her eyes.
"Mrs. Yu is jealous of Lord Jiang."
Yu Qingzhi smiled, gently brushed aside the tea leaves above, and took a sip.
"I have always been at odds with Jiang Dingzhong, shouldn't I be afraid of him?"
Zhuo Rou smiled and shook her head: "That's what I said, but I don't think it's necessary, Lord Jiang is indeed difficult, but it's not enough to make Yu Niangzi jealous, and the people behind Yu Niangzi are not simple."
The person behind her is not simple?
Yu Qingzhi seemed to hear the joke, shook his head and said, "Miss Zhuo is wrong, there is no one behind me, He Ji, it's just a shop that came out of the county town, it's very ordinary."
The two looked at each other, Zhuo Rou pulled the corner of her lower lip, and did not go around this matter again, but mentioned the closure of He Ji Shop.
"Yu Niangzi didn't find a way to move around?"
Yu Qingzhi thought to herself, the person who sealed her shop was Song Chi.
Even if she wanted to move around, she couldn't find anyone who could match Song Chi, Jiang Dingzhong might be one, but the relationship between them was not something that could join forces.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Yu Qingzhi said lightly, "There's no need."
Zhuo Rou raised her eyebrows: "Is it unnecessary, or is it that Yu Niangzi can't find a relationship to be able to move?"
Yu Qingzhi: "......"
This Zhuo Rou spoke, and it was really a pot that could not be opened.
"Miss Zhuo."
"Lady Yu, please speak."
Yu Qingzhi got up and looked at Zhuo Rou condescendingly for a moment: "Did someone say that you can't speak?"
Zhuo Rou: "......"
On the side, Zhuo Wei, who had been silent, laughed.
Zhuo Rou was annoyed: "What is my brother laughing at?"
Zhuo Wei's eyes were full of smiles: "It's nothing, Lady Yu, I'm bothering today, say goodbye."
He pulled Zhuo Rou away.
Yu Qingzhi shook his head, a little speechless at the two brothers and sisters.
Forget it, regardless of them, let's go and see how Bai Xiaoer's injuries are doing.
…
"I heard from my eldest brother that it was my sister-in-law who saved my life with very precious medicine, thank you sister-in-law."
Bai Xiaoer leaned on the edge of the bed, and there was no blood on his pale face.
Yu Qingzhi looked at him and asked Bai Xiaoer to lie down immediately.
"If you call me sister-in-law, you are my family, what are you polite to your family? But you're sick from this injury, do you need to send a letter back to your family and tell them to come home later?"
Bai Xiaoer nodded: "I really need to reply to a letter, and I have Sister-in-law Lao to help me write it."
Yu Qingzhi wrote a reply letter for Bai Xiaoer and handed it to the guards below to send it to the post station.
When he turned around, he saw Bai Xiaoer closing his eyes, looking very tired, and couldn't help sighing.
"Little Er, you are here to recuperate, and I will go to see your eldest brother."
Bai Xiaoer opened his eyes: "Got it, sister-in-law."
I don't know if it's because he walked around on the edge of death, Yu Qingzhi always felt that Bai Xiaoer was much more stable.
When she saw He Lianjun, she told her feelings.
He Lianjun was a little surprised: "If it is really stable, then this injury is not in vain."
Yu Qingzhi glared at He Lianjun speechlessly: "Is that an injury?" If it weren't for the medicine, Xiao Er would be ......."
In the middle of her words, she suddenly paused.
He Lianjun raised his eyes and held Yu Qingzhi's hand: "Are you afraid?"
Yu Qingzhi nodded, turned around and leaned into He Lianjun's arms.
"Husband, I'm glad I had that pill, otherwise I would have a bad conscience for the rest of my life."
He Lianjun tightened his arms and whispered, "He saved your life, and you also saved his life, so don't take it to heart."
Yu Qingzhi didn't make a sound, just leaned on his arms without saying a word.
Time passed little by little, and after another moment, Yu Qingzhi told the man about Jiang Dingzhong's actions today.
"That Jiang Dingzhong's ambition is not small, if it weren't for the chance encounter, I'm afraid Shuozhou City would have to be messed up by him again."
Yu Qingzhi turned sideways and frowned: "Husband, is there a way to get Jiang Dingzhong out of Shuozhou City?"
He Lianjun groaned, "There is a way, but ...... There aren't enough bait."
"Not enough bait?"
Yu Qingzhi repeated the man's words and held He Lianjun's hand: "What do you say?"
"There are still fifty days to go is the emperor's birthday, Jiang Dingzhong has lived in Shuozhou City for a long time, and he must want to go up, so he ......."
Yu Qingzhi narrowed his eyes and took He Lianjun's words: "So he will prepare a congratulatory gift for the emperor, and this congratulatory gift must be rare and special."
He Lianjun bowed: "Not bad."
Yu Qingzhi pursed her lips, she could exchange some things from the system mall.
The problem is that she doesn't know what kind of congratulatory gift Jiang Dingzhong wants to prepare.
"Husband, do you know what kind of congratulatory gift Jiang Dingzhong is looking for? Or rather, what
What kind of congratulatory gift can get him out of Shuozhou City?"
