Shen Xuan saw Xu He nodding, and then fell silent, only the sound of him tapping the table with his finger knuckles in the hall.

Xu He waited for about Mo tea, and Shen Xuan was embarrassed: "If my father is in the pavilion, my brother will help you with this kind of trivial matter immediately, but ...... You also know that people go to tea and cool! ”

Xu He had long known that this kind of upper-level interpersonal communication was absolutely impossible to introduce to others easily, but he obviously saw that Shen Xuan was about to speak at the beginning, but after hesitation, it turned into a difficult word.

It is estimated that when entering the alley at the beginning of the conversation, Shen Xuan almost introduced Ma Liangbi to Xu He, but in the end he gave up after careful consideration.

What does this mean?

Let's not talk about his Shen family's activities in Songjiang Shipyard, it must be operated only with the nod of Caodu, and the two must have been familiar with it for a long time.

And Shen Xuan definitely has a channel to meet Ma Liangbi directly, but he either has some concerns, or he cherishes himself, and he doesn't want to let the Xu family, who are also in Lianghuai, become familiar with this path.

"Sure enough, Uncle is right, Shen Xuan can't have deep friendship!"

The so-called knowing people and knowing faces do not know their hearts, friends are expensive in a sincere word, eating and drinking on weekdays, bathing and prostituting that is a friend of wine and meat, and really pulling you without hesitation at a critical time, that is a true friend worthy of deep friendship.

Xu Song has really been in the sea for a long time, and it is really accurate to see people.

Xu He looked at Shen Xuan with a [sincere] face, smiled slightly and changed the topic: "The reason why I know that Brother Zongqi is coming to Huai'an is because I saw Brother Zongqi at the gate of the Yanyun Branch Office two days ago, what's the matter?" The wine vinegar noodle bureau is urging very tightly? ”

Both of them know what bullshit wine and vinegar noodles are, in fact, Emperor Zhizheng is short of money to spend, so they have been urging their Shen family to start working.

Sure enough, Shen Xuan talked about his difficulties, and immediately sighed for a long time: "It's not, it's still that sentence, the official salt is not on the right track, the private salt, those stoves don't do anything for a while, our Shen family people go to the major salt farms to buy salt, these people say no, only three or two kittens sell some salt, a drop in the bucket, not enough to run a trip to Jiangxi, Huguang Road!" ”

Xu He suddenly smiled without warning, and he clapped his hands in Shen Xuan's surprised gaze.

After a while, Wu Decao walked in with a cloth bag and put it in front of the two.

Shen Xuan looked at Xu He with a question mark on his face.

Xu He said: "Brother Zongqi, look at what this is?" ”

Shen Xuan stared at Xu He for a while, and then untied the hemp rope on the cloth bag, and when he opened it, he saw that it was snow-white salt particles!

"Liangsheng, ...... are you?" Shen Xuan hurriedly asked.

Xu He smiled: "Coincidentally, what your sect brother lacks is salt, but I can ask you as much as you want!" ”

With a "bang", the official hat chair was almost knocked down by Shen Xuan, who stood up suddenly.

I saw Shen Xuan excitedly holding Xu He's hand and said, "Brother, I didn't misread you, every time my brother has something to worry about, you will descend from heaven and help my brother pass this level!" ”

Xu He smiled and withdrew his hand from his hand without a trace.

Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then said embarrassedly: "Liangsheng, you blame me for being my brother, I don't want to help, right?" ”

Xu He didn't reply, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

Shen Xuan looked at his slow and logical appearance, and he was in a hurry, but he couldn't urge him, so he could only wait patiently for Xu He to finish tasting the tea before he said: "Brother, it's really not that I'm not interested enough to be a brother, what's going on in the officialdom, you should know that if I come forward, Ma Liangbi may not be willing to see me!" After all, they are the imperial history of the right capital, a high-ranking official of the imperial court! I'm just a little person......"

Xu He saw that he was still not telling the truth, so he simply stood up, arched his hand with a smile and said: "Brother Zongqi's tea is good, and my brother has also drunk this tea, so I won't bother!" ”

"Don't, don't!" Shen Xuan was anxious, and grabbed Xu He and said, "I remember, before leaving, my father gave me a copy of his name post, saying that if there is anything, he will find Governor Ma, and it is useless to put it on me, or give it to you, brother!" ”

Seeing that Xu He still didn't speak, he smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, Ma Liangbi received the favor of my father back then, and when he saw his post, even if he was an enemy, he would put it in to see him!" ”

Xu He smiled at this time: "Brother Zongqi, you give me the post first!" ”

Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then scolded with a smile: "Okay, you Xu Liangsheng, you don't even believe me!" ”

But having said that, he still asked Xi Xima to raise people during the previous Yangzhou Cultural Conference, and brought the name card of Shen Xuan's father Shen Han!

Xu He saw that the things were in hand, so he also smiled and said: "Brother Zongqi, I have a batch of Huai salt here, and the price is one penny and one pound!" ”

Shen Xuan almost fainted after hearing this, only to see him almost scold in a roaring tone: "Xu Liangsheng, why don't you go and rob it?" A penny of silver? Do you know how much a pound of salt sells for when the year is good? ”

Xu He said lightly: "Four cents, five cents, no more than six centi!" ”

Shen Xuan said angrily: "Do you still know? How dare you sell me double the price? ”

Xu He shrugged his shoulders: "Brother Zongqi, you said it, it was a good year, last year, this year were all flooded, and in the spring, the stove Ding was almost reversed, do you think the price of salt will be the same as in the past at this time?" ”

Shen Xuan said angrily: "That can't be a penny of silver and a catty, eight cents, at most eight cents!" ”

Xu He smiled and looked directly at Shen Xuan, until he looked at Shen Xuan all over his body before he spoke: "What if I tell you that the private salt in my hand is all the private salt in the entire Lianghuai Salt Farm in the past two months?" ”

"What?" Shen Xuan sat down in the official hat chair with empty eyes, muttering to himself, not knowing what to say.

Xu He was not in a hurry, he sat there drinking tea and smiled at Ma Juren, until Ma Juren was looked at by him, Shen Xuan came back to his senses and said, "Liangsheng, this price can't be lower?" ”

Xu He shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't dare to guarantee anything else, but I said, I won't take a penny from it, do you believe me?" ”

Shen Xuan stared at him for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I believe you!" ”

When Xu He heard this, he got up and arched his hand towards him and said, "Brother Zongqi, thank you!" ”

Shen Xuan's mouth was full of bitterness, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and finally thought about it, although a penny of silver and a pound of salt didn't make a lot of money, but in addition to the part handed over to the person, there was still a profit, so he finally laughed, it was this laugh, which was more ugly than crying!

When Xu He and Wu Decao walked out of the Shen family's courtyard in Huai'an, Wu Decao whispered: "Liangsheng, you are still ruthless, Lao Zheng Tou said that a pound of salt will be covered for a while, and it will only be sold for eight cents, and you will sell it for one cent; But for this matter, there is a rift in the relationship between Shen Gongzi and you, which is not cost-effective! ”

Xu He looked at Zhumen Gaodi behind him and sneered: "Those who have a relationship with Israel will be cut off if they have all their benefits, isn't it normal?" ”

Wu Decao smashed it, smashed it, and after a while, he said angrily: "We are not a relationship of interests!" ”

After speaking, he took a look at the silver he had saved in his sleeve in the past few days, and decided to take it out for a while and invite Xu He and the two of them to have a meal or something.

Xu He laughed and said, "Of course we are not, let's go, Brother Yaochen, let's go and meet the hemp girl in the boudoir!" ”
