Swagger Transit Section 42
The slaves all showed a look of admiration, and praised the little servants, "The prince is famous!" β
His voice turned a corner, and he asked cautiously, "Thenβwhy did we go to the door of the Ye family so late?" β
Qi Tang said arrogantly, "Since I am the great patron of the Ye family, why wait until tomorrow?" Knock on the door of the Ye family now and tell her immediately! β
The time is right, the twilight is heavy, and the sunset is all over the sky. A group of slaves gathered at the door of Ye's house and shouted in unison:
"Open the door! My master intends to do a few businesses with the Ye family, the bigger the better! What kind of big business does your Ye family have, if other families can't eat it, my master can do it! β
Ye Fuliu, who was sitting around the table and raising chopsticks to feed: ?
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Ye Fuliu's whole person was in good spirits. and Shen Jiahuang's Han brick business...... Isn't it just a rare big business! Who said that the bricks dug under the Qi family's house could not be sold to the original owner?
She snapped and threw the chopsticks on the table, stopped eating, and immediately sent a message to the door.
"Yes! There is a big business at hand, and the price is 230 taels of gold, and no one else can eat it! Does the Qi family do it? β
Chapter 38
Ye Fuliu washed his face, put the person into the front hall, and went out to meet the guests in high spirits, and Su Qiu brought hot tea.
Qi Tang sat in the flower hall of the Ye family, enjoying the treatment of a big customer, drinking the fragrant tea sent by the Ye family, Ye Fuliu sat opposite with a smile and politeness, no longer doubting his identity, taking a sip of the honorific title of "Shizi", and came out to talk to him about business at night.
Qi Tang's whole person seemed to have eaten a mouthful of ice melon on a hot day, and he was completely comfortable.
His heart was relieved, and the bold words in his mouth began to be stacked out.
"The business of two hundred and thirty taels of gold is not small to ordinary people. As far as the Xinguo Mansion is concerned, heh, it's just barely in the eye. β
Qi Tang cocked his long legs, put on his usual posture when he was in Jiangning Mansion, and took a sip of tea casually, "It's rare for the cloth business to have such a large amount of money, what kind of rare business does it sound like?" Talk about it and look at it. β
Ye Fuliu smiled and complimented him, "The son of the world is wise, and it is indeed a rare livelihood. In addition to the main business of the cloth business, the Ye family occasionally collects antique furniture from the passing townships. Recently, I had a batch of goods in my hand, and I originally agreed with the Shen family, but who knew that Shen Da couldn't eat it, so he temporarily regretted the deal, and there was no good place for good things, which made me worry day and night. β
Qi Tang heard Shen Li mention that the Ye family occasionally made a living as an antique furniture business, and became a little interested.
"What kind of good thing is it, talk about it, look at it."
Ye Fuliu leaned closer and solemnly told in a low voice, "Han bricks." More than 200 beautifully carved Han bricks. β
Qi Tang perked up, "Two hundred Han bricks? It's big business indeed. Han bricks are rare, how did you get them? β
"Don't hide it from the world, you got it by accident." Ye Fuliu pointed in the direction of his backyard and said to him.
"The ancestral house of the Ye family was purchased by the ancestors three generations ago, and it has been deserted for many years. Thinking about the inheritance left by his ancestors, he spent a lot of money to clean up the house by hand a while ago. As a result, I accidentally found a large wooden box buried under the pear blossom tree, which sank very much! I finally opened the wooden box, and the two hundred and thirty Han bricks collected by my ancestors were neatly stacked inside. β
Qi Tang appreciated, "So it's a relic left by the ancestors of the Ye family?" It's rare. β
The atmosphere on both sides was obviously relaxed, Ye Fuliu smiled and chatted a few words, Qi Tang regained his arrogance and talked about inspecting the goods.
Su Qiu walked to Ye Fuliu's side at this moment, and whispered in his ear, "Wei Langjun next door sent Wei Da over." Now people are waiting outside the flower hall. β
"Huh? What's the matter? β
"Wei Da came with a knife."
Ye Fuliu glanced at Qi Tang, who was drinking tea with his legs crossed, and got up and walked to the side, "Wei San Langjun knows that Qi Shizi is here?" β
"The movement of the Qi family shouting at the door was too big, and it had already alarmed the next door. Wei Jialangjun asked, is Qi Shizi embarrassed by Little Lady Ye? The lady doesn't have to be reluctant, let Wei Da drive people out of Wukou Town. β
"You tell Wei Da to go back. Tell Wei San Langjun that Qi Shizi came to talk about business, and he was the big patron of the Ye family. If he thinks crookedly halfway, the Ye family has their own way to clean him up. β
Su Qiu hurriedly went out to spread the word.
Ye Fuliu sat back opposite Qi Tang with a smile and continued to talk with him.
"For such a big business, the inspection is certain. It's just that the goods are not with me for the time being. If you don't mind, wait a while, and I'll go get a brick. β
Qi Tang is not a fool after all.
Although the business of two hundred and thirty taels of gold is not an earth-shattering amount, it is not as "worthless" as he has shown.
Last time Qin Shuiniang, he had already been deceived once, and he had palpitations. A little lady of this age, one is more likely to deceive than the other!
He glanced at the little guy who followed him, and the little guy understood and stepped forward and said, "Of course, the inspection must inspect all the goods, how can there be a reason to only look at one brick." We sincerely do business with the Ye family, and the little lady Ye should not have a heart of fraud and coaxing. β
Qi Tang opened his mouth and said, "Two hundred and thirty Han bricks, all of which will be inspected. β
"All Inspection ......"
If the goods are in the backyard of the Ye family, it is not impossible. But all the goods are now in the Wei family.
Ye Fuliu's mind was like electricity, and his thin white teeth bit his lower lip, revealing a contemplative look.
Qi Tang pretended to bow his head and drink tea on the surface, and his eyes drifted to the opposite side. Where do you know whether to drink cold tea or hot tea, and forget what it tastes like.
It's like it, and the side face is especially like!
A heart in his chest was pounding, and he couldn't tell for a moment whether it was because the similar face in front of him reminded him of Qin Shuiniang, who he loved and hated, or because the little lady of the Ye family was naturally bright and moving.
Although the reputation of the merchant is unpleasant, I have to say that Ye Xiaoniang is focused on business when talking about business...... Really recruiting. No wonder it attracts a swarm of wild bees and butterflies.
Qi Tang pretended to drink tea, and the corner of his eyes almost stuck to Ye Fuliu.
He calculated in his heart that two hundred and thirty taels of gold was not a small amount, and the account office of the Guogong Mansion would definitely report it to his father. Han bricks are rare, and the selling price of one or two gold is not expensive, even if it is reported to the father's side, his waist plate is still worth it. This big business that shows its strength must be done!
At this moment, Su Qiu hurriedly walked in again, and said in his ear, "Wei Da is here again!" On behalf of his family, Langjun said that Wei Sanlangjun was on the wooden building at the moment, and asked the lady to go to the backyard to talk in person. β
"Wait a minute, Shizi, there is a little little matter at home." Ye Fuliu politely went out of the flower hall in the front yard and went straight to the second courtyard.
As soon as he walked into the Hanging Flower Gate, he felt the gaze from a high place fall on him, and Wei Huan stood under the long eaves, watching the railing from a distance. Ye Fuliu raised his voice to greet, "San Lang! Listen to Wei Da said, are you looking for me? β
Hearing the familiar "San Lang," the brisk figure running across the courtyard with a long skirt appeared in front of him, and the gloomy color between Wei Huan's eyebrows gradually stretched a little.
"What business do Qi Tang and the Ye family do?" The slender fingers stroked the wings of the big gray dove that surrounded him, "No matter how much he pays, the Wei family will pay twice." Give me his business. β
For a moment, Ye Fuliu was really moved. Two hundred and thirty taels of gold doubled, that's a lot of money!
The next moment he came back to his senses and waved his hand.
"I'll give you the rest of the business, this one really can't work. Let's tell San Lang the truth, I'm cheating on Qi Shizi's side. Everything is in the making, don't meddle. β
Wei Huan didn't answer, and scattered rice grains to the pigeons gathered under the long eaves.
After a while, he slowly persuaded, "No matter how you plan." The Qi family is powerful, and the Ye family is thin. It is risky to lure a wolf into the house, and a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wallβ"
Ye Fuliu laughed when he heard it. "Okay, okay, Saburo, it's rare to hear you talk to me at length, it's one thing to say it right or not, I know how much you want to persuade me. Again, don't interfere. β
Wei Huan railing lowered his eyes. The two sides looked at each other for a moment, and then opened their mouths to call her name, "Furu." β
This is the first time Ye Fuliu has heard his name from his mouth.
It feels a little strange, a little tingling and itching in my ears, and a little hot.
Ye Fuliu raised his hand and rubbed the faintly hot earlobe, and instantly paid attention.
"There's something you just happened to be here, so I'd better discuss it with you in person."
"You say."
"I negotiated this business with Qi Shizi. However, it is about to get night, and it is not good to talk about business at the Ye family. I want to borrow the Wei family's wooden building for one use. There are Wei Da and Wei Er of your family sitting downstairs, forgive him The Hao slaves of the Qi family dare not mess around. β
Ye Fuliu finished speaking, looking up with anticipation and waiting for a reply. The smart and clear round eyes brought out three points of cunning, and they turned around.
Wei Huan's heart moved slightly.
In the flash of light, he guessed a few points of the reason why Ye Fuliu wanted to borrow his wooden building to talk about business.
No more attempts were made to persuade him, and he acquiesced.
He turned and went down the wooden building.
A quarter of an hour later. The door of the Wei family was open, and Qi Tang was politely sent out from the Ye family, and Wei Da led the way in front, accompanied by Ye Fuliu, and entered the Wei family inexplicably.
When the wooden plaque of the pitching building appeared in front of him, Qi Tang's patience and anger exploded.
The last time he was humiliated in the wooden building, he had already sworn that he would never see the sinister and cunning third cousin of the Wei family again.
"I talked about business with your Ye family, why did you come to the Wei family's wooden building to talk!"
He suppressed his anger and asked Ye Fuliu with jealousy, "Could it be that your Ye family is talking about business, and you still need my good cousin to act as a witness?" You two neighbors are so close?! β
Ye Fuliu was not in a hurry and walked to the wooden building first, ignoring the questioning.
"The prince is at ease. First, Wei Sanlangjun was not on top of the wooden building. Second, it was the prince himself who asked for the inspection, so I brought you over. For the sake of the prince's request, I still owe San Langjun a favor. β
As he spoke, he walked up to the rosewood covered ice guard, bent down and opened the secret door, revealing a neatly stacked wall of ice inside.
Under Qi Tang's staring gaze, he removed two pieces of ice and found a beautifully carved stone brick from the inner layer of the ice block.
"Wow. The goods that the prince wants to inspect are here. β
Qi Tang was incredulous, and his grievances were mixed with bitterness, "You even have such important and expensive goods in the Wei family?!" You and himβ"
Ye Fuliu turned sideways.
Qing Qing's eyes were calm and scrutinizing, and he unceremoniously cut off, "The relationship between me and the Wei family Saburo is good or bad, and it has nothing to do with you. If you want to do my Ye family's business, I will come to inspect the goods. I don't want to do the Ye family's business, the Ye family doesn't want extravagance, and the prince can go. β
Qi Tang: "......"
Qi Tang took a deep breath in aggrieved terms. Although he had only dealt with Ye Fuliu three or two times, he knew her nature to some extent. He couldn't hold his breath right now and walked away, and the beauty in front of him was no longer his!
Qi Tang endured his anger, forcibly turned his head back, and bluntly praised,
"ββWhat a neighbor's friendship, what a place to hide! Who would have thought that there would be a hole in the ice cube interlayer? Ye Xiaoniang is shrewd. β
Ye Fuliu didn't pay attention to his anger just now, and he didn't accept his praise at this moment, only curled his beautiful lips.
"Well said. Han bricks are valuable, and the deal of Shen Da's boss has collapsed again. The Ye family is thin, if someone robs them of good goods, wouldn't they cry to death. Thinking about it, it is best to hide it in the Wei family. β
After that, she urged, "The sincerity of the Ye family has been revealed in front of the prince." How can the sincerity of the prince be revealed? Check on the spot, and the silver and goods are gone? β
Qi Tang took it for granted, and proudly promised, "Check on the spot, and the silver and goods will be lost!" β
The wooden floor is brightly lit, and the half-rolled bamboo curtain reflects more than a dozen busy figures.
Wei Da hugged his arms and watched downstairs, discussing with Wei Er beside him, "What are they busy working upstairs?" β
"Lang Jun has agreed, you and I don't care."
