Chapter 44 Naming Rights

After noon, the wind and snow in Pixian County were even worse.

In just half a day, the snow in the courtyard of the Lin Mansion has already covered the boots.

The family who was still clearing the snow one moment ago, and when he looked back the next moment, the ground he had cleaned was pressed again.

It was flawlessly cold.

Even if they nested in the house, the fire also froze people into a ball.

In the young lady's boudoir, Xiang'er wrapped in a quilt, sat by the fire, and hugged Bai Rou together by the way.

Bai Rou felt that her sister-in-law was getting along with her more and more easy-going, and she was happy in her heart, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, you are so good." ”

Xiang'er smiled and didn't speak.

"Sister-in-law will be able to sit with my brother like this."

Xiang'er's face was slightly red when she heard this, and she wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say.

"My brother asked the old man about it, but I don't know what it is."

Lin Xiang'er still didn't speak, but her thoughts were brought to Bai Song's gambling contract by Bai Rou's words.

I wonder what this man will say to his father.

I wonder what my father will think when he hears this?

You don't get angry and hit that guy, do you?

Can that guy make fifteen hundred dollars?

"Oops! What was I thinking? Fifteen hundred yuan, how is it possible? He's not a god! ”

Lin Xiang'er thought for a while, her face turned red, and then she shook her head vigorously.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as Bai Rou's words fell, Xiaocui suddenly knocked open the door and shouted in shock: "Miss! Miss! ”

"What's so alarming?"

"That bad guy is crazy!"

"Bad guys?"

"It's that bad uncle......"

"What's wrong? Was he beaten by his father? ”

"It's not! He said that he could earn 1,500 yuan in just one day, otherwise he would leave the Lin family and never contact the young lady again. ”

"What?!"

Lin Xiang'er got up suddenly, the quilt on her body slipped off, and she almost fell into the brazier.

There was a lot of panic on her face, Lin Xianger only thought about the first half of the gambling game, but never thought about the second half of the condition.

"Miss, you have to think of a way, my uncle has already left the house. He didn't use it at all, he couldn't earn 1,500 yuan in his life, how could it take him a day...... Did he want to run away alone? ”

Xiao Cui was so anxious in the room that she stomped her feet, and she didn't know why she was so flustered.

Lin Xiang'er clasped her hands, and she didn't know why she was empty in her heart.

How is it possible to make fifteen hundred dollars a day?

"What the hell is he trying to do? Is it suddenly disgusting with others, and you are about to run away if you find a reason? Lin Xiang'er was in tears and her heart was numb......

"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense, I'm still here, why did my brother run away?"

"But what is he gambling on, why should he make an appointment to leave the Lin family?"

Lin Xiang'er was anxious, ignoring the strong wind outside the house, and walked out quickly.

Trotting all the way, turning a small courtyard, a corridor, Lin Xiang'er's little face was frozen white, and when she arrived at the main hall, she was too late to count the courtesies, and stood in front of her father and said:

"Daddy! How can you let him do nonsense? ”

"Xiang'er, what are you doing when you go out of the house on such a cold day?"

"Daddy! Don't count! Don't count! ”

"What don't you count?"

"Daddy and his bet, my daughter doesn't recognize it! How can such a major event be judged by a bet? ”

Lin Tingzheng understood at this time, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Father didn't force him, it was a gambling contract made by himself." ”

"Anyway...... Anyway...... Not counts! ”

Lin Xiang'er didn't know what to say, stomped her feet, and returned to the boudoir angrily.

……

Heavy snow covers the sky, and the sky and the earth are vast.

Thick snow walks, like a deep mud swamp.

In the middle of Pi County, there are thousands of hoarfrost in large and small houses, as if all the clouds in the sky have fallen on the roofs of the people, and large and small white mushrooms are sliced together, looming in the white mist.

Bai Song shrank his body, and there was no leisure to enjoy the scenery.

It's the first time I've encountered such heavy snow, and I've lived for two lifetimes.

If it weren't for Xiang'er, who would have braved such a heavy snow to go out?

It's a sin.

Looking for the memory in his heart, Bai Song walked for half an hour.

Then stop at the door of a large mansion.

The plaque hanging in the courtyard of the house has two words written on it.

Xia Fu.

This is the first time Lin Xianger went out and took Bai Song to visit the merchants.

The son-in-law Xu in it is Lin Xianger's old lover.

If it weren't for the stakes, Bai Song wouldn't want to come here.

But in Bai Song's memory, the only rich family in Pi County is the Xia family who sells wine.

Today, it is snowing heavily, the gate of the Xia Mansion is closed, and not a single family member is gone.

Bai Song stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon a family shrank out and asked impatiently, "Who?" ”

"Bai Song, the son-in-law of the Lin family, is visiting."

"Lin Family ......"

The weight of these two words is not small, and the family immediately restrained his disdain and looked at Bai Song a few times.

"What is the matter with the son of the Lin family here?"

"Meet the master of the Xia family and talk about a big business."

Seeing that Bai Song was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary bearing, the family was a little shocked, so he whispered: "The son will come in first, and the villain will go to report." ”

The name of the Lin family is easy to use.

The housekeeper led Bai Song to the living room and quickly brought a cup of hot tea.

The Xia family's house is slightly smaller than the Lin Mansion, but the furnishings in the hall are quite extraordinary, and at a glance you know that it is a precious thing, which is incomparable to the Lin Mansion.

Bai Song waited for a while, and it was not Master Xia who came, but the fat woman he had seen before.

Bai Song recognized her, and the fat woman also recognized Bai Song, and immediately exclaimed: "It's you!" ”

Bai Song has a request for others today, so naturally he will not be so reckless, and he arched his hand with a smile: "Miss Xia, don't come to harm?" ”

"Who should I be? It turned out to be the son-in-law of the cold family of the Lin Mansion! ”

"Exactly ......"

"Aren't you quite arrogant when you meet in the courtyard that day? How dare you come alone today? ”

"Miss Xia, it's serious, we don't know each other if we don't fight."

"Who doesn't fight with you doesn't know each other! Say! What the hell is going on? ”

"Naturally, there is a great good thing to send to Miss Xia."

This Miss Xia is a little fatter, but she is obviously a businessman, as soon as she heard Bai Song say that there is something good, she no longer shows an angry look, and walks to the main seat in a few steps and sits down, with the style of the head of the family.

"I heard there's a big deal?"

"The Lin family is about to hold an annual Little Year review, Miss Xia has heard of it, right?"

"Little old review? The people of Youzhou, who doesn't know, who doesn't know? ”

"The Xiaosui review brings together young talents from Youzhou, and wine and food are naturally indispensable in the assembly. I heard that the Xia family wine is the signature of Pi County, and the Lin family hopes to have some cooperation with the Xia family. ”

"The Lin family wants to purchase Xia family wine?"

"Procurement is a trivial matter, how can I let my aunt come to the door in person? Is it natural to be a bigger thing than procurement? ”

Seeing that Bai Song said mysteriously, Miss Xia was a little curious: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"The Lin family wants to hand over the naming rights of this little year review to the Xia family, Miss Xia, do you think this is a great thing?"

"Crown...... Name...... Right? Miss Xia has been in business for many years, but it is the first time she has heard such words.

"The so-called naming right is to put the name of Xiajiajiu everywhere on the Xiaosui review, so that all the talented young talents and famous Confucians who participate in the Xiaosui review know the name of Xiajiajiu. Miss, what do you think, what is the identity of the people who come and go to the young age review? That's all the famous homes in the ten counties of Youzhou, if the Xia family wine makes a name for itself among them, are you still worried about the future sales? ”

Miss Xia thought thoughtfully: "This matter is not bad, but the Lin family is really willing to let the Xia family put their name on the Xiaosui review?" ”

"Of course, such a good thing will naturally not be given to the Xia family for no reason. If you want naming rights, you naturally need a little bit of naming fees. ”

"How much?"

"No more, no less, just fifteen hundred."

"Poof!"

Miss Xia was so frightened that she snorted: "What did you say?" Fifteen hundred...... Nothing more?! Are you crazy? Or when I'm stupid! Come on, blast this bastard out! ”

Several family members rushed in with a fierce attitude.

Bai Song did not lose his momentum, and said coldly: "Hmph! I thought that the Xia family was the first merchant in Bi County, and when I saw it today, it was still a mouse-eyed person, so I would go farther, this Youzhou restaurant is not only your Xia family. When the time comes, let's see how other people's wine has made a name for itself in Pi County, and how the Xia family's wine is still sold. Don't push, I'll go myself! ”

"Wait!" Miss Xia frowned, and after thinking about it, she felt that things were not so simple.

"What? What else does Miss Xia have to say? ”

"Tell me more about it."

Bai Song didn't hold it either, and sat down again: "Miss Xia, I said that this is a great thing, and it is definitely not a lie." This naming right is by no means more than 1,500 yuan, and those who know how to do it can get it even if it is 5,000 yuan! It's nothing more than my own private affairs, and I urgently need 1,500 yuan of money, otherwise how could I send this cheap for you to pick up? ”

"Heh, do you know fifteen hundred, how long will it take for my Xia family to operate to make enough money?"

"That's because Xiajia wine is only sold near Pi County, and it has not opened up trade routes in other cities for a long time. Over the years, the poems of various literati and the comments given by famous scholars will be widely circulated in Youzhou counties. If Xia Jiajiu can take this opportunity to appear on the Xiaosui review, and then be praised by those literati and ink writers, wouldn't the reputation of Xia Jiajiu have to ride the wind and waves, and hang on the clouds and sail into the sea? ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying......"

"What?! This time will not only open up the sales channels of Xiajia wine in Youzhou, but also the entire Datang. The more important thing is to enhance the brand value of Xiajiajiu...... Forehead...... It's fame. Do you think, if the wine that can be recognized by so many celebrities can be formed into poems and circulated in the world, wouldn't it be better than other wines? Those literati are the free spokespersons of Xia Jiajiu, and a small investment is an endless return. The price of Xia family wine alone will at least double. ”

Miss Xia was slightly excited when she heard this, got up and walked back and forth in the hall for a while, and suddenly stopped and asked: "What you said is good, but who can guarantee that those literati will compose poems for the Xia family's wine?" How to ensure that it can be circulated? ”

"Huh!" Bai Song smiled disdainfully, "Eating people with short mouths and soft hands with people!" The Xia family's money is not given in vain, the Lin family is a guarantee, and the most important part of the next year is to use the Xia family wine as the theme, let those literati write poems, let those famous people evaluate, how much more than a poem when the time comes? There are not hundreds or thousands of poems written about Xia Jiajiu? There are always one or two songs that will last forever! ”

"Good! What kind of naming rights is this, my Xia family wants it! ”
