"Sir, here it is. ”

Du Haizhou, dressed in casual clothes, stepped out of the carriage and looked at the cloth shop in a small village on the outskirts. It's not as big as a guest room in Du Mansion, and the finished cloth is placed in the courtyard in front of the store. Du Haizhou began to feel a little disliked, who is the boss here? So he doesn't care about the fabric, he really can't imagine that the best-selling Caiyun cloth in the city actually comes from here. He was a little skeptical that his butler had made a mistake.

Originally, Du Haizhou didn't care about a shop that sold fabrics, he definitely sold more than one kind of fabric, and most of the large-scale enterprises in Binzhou City cooperated with the Du family, even if there was no one on the surface, there were also private. After all, the Du family is not a monopoly, and there is also the business of the Cao family and the government.

is such a best-selling cloth, but the day before yesterday suddenly unilaterally interrupted the cooperation with the Du family. This made him very faceless and wanted to use the contract to suppress people, but when the people below took the contract to claim for liquidated damages, the boss smiled and suddenly pointed out that the original extra clause was that when the business reached the standard for two consecutive years, the owner of the cloth shop could unilaterally terminate the contract without any reason and compensation.

Because it was mutually beneficial at that time, everyone was trying to make money, and the Du family felt that as long as they were not fools, they would not give up cooperation, so they didn't care about the increased terms. But who would have thought that they would really unilaterally terminate the contract, the Du family is still pressing the order of 50,000 taels, if the cloth shop does not ship, the Du family will compensate the buyer for double the liquidated damages.

It seems that the owner of the cloth shop had planned for such a day for a long time, so he added such a clause at that time. This made Du Haizhou's heart very unhappy, 100,000 taels, the Du family lost money, and he didn't care, but the feeling of being calculated was really infuriating!

"Go, go in. Du Haizhou waved his hand and strode into the store with his sleeves flicked up.

As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned, is this still a shop? The shopkeeper who was sleeping at the counter was sleeping, and there were some faded cloth patterns on the wall. There are flies on the teapot and teacup on the square table in the middle!

"Little Er!" Du Haizhou couldn't help but roar.

The shopkeeper who slept with Zhengxiang was startled, his arm was crooked, and his head hit the counter directly.

"Hey, what's the ghost called!, come to buy rainbow cloth?" the shopkeeper asked very politely while rubbing his head.

"Rainbow cloth?" Du Haizhou wondered, isn't it called Caiyunfang, the Caiyun cloth for sale?

"Isn't it? I said, how could anyone ask for such a cloth, and sure enough, a smart man came today, don't you know, a fool came yesterday and took away a cart of rainbow cloth. Seeing Du Haizhou's puzzled and hesitant look, the shopkeeper gushed endlessly. He also pulled out a "rainbow cloth" like a Dalmatian dog from the counter, on which was a random splash of various colors of paint.

"What did you say? Is it the first time that the people who came to Jinfu yesterday?"

"It doesn't seem to be the first time, there are two times, the first time they pulled away two carts, and yesterday's cart pulled away the last inventory, and thanks to them, since they pulled away two carts for the first time, many small cloth vendors have all come to the rainbow cloth. I heard that one of them also made a fortune and married a girl in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. ”

Du Haizhou's beard was about to be cocked up angrily, they were tricked, the other party had long known that they would investigate today's matter, and they had already begun to arrange troops as early as when they were cooperating.

"It's interesting, it's so interesting. Du Haizhou sneered.

"Master, it's a dereliction of duty on the part of a minion!" The housekeeper was just about to kneel down when he was helped up by Du Haizhou.

"Okay, I know you've done your best, after so many years, can you change your problem of kneeling at every turn?" Du Haizhou looked back at the shopkeeper again: "In the future, if the previous people come to enter the rainbow cloth again, they must keep the people, and then send someone to Tiantong Qianzhuang to report the news." After speaking, Du Haizhou threw a bag of silver to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper, who was originally disdainful, immediately smiled when he saw the silver: "Don't worry, guest officer, if the previous person comes again, I will definitely leave someone for you!"

"Let's go. Du Haizhou and the housekeeper walked out of this cloth shop that didn't look like a cloth shop.

"The two masters go slowly!" The shopkeeper actually walked out of the room, Du Haizhou was a little disgusted with the flattering look, he wanted to take a look at the surrounding situation again, and after seeing the shopkeeper, he walked directly into the carriage. Soon the carriage was far away from here, and the flattering expression on the face of the shopkeeper disappeared, replaced by coldness and disdain. Turned around and bowed down to the house: "Young master, the person has left." ”

As soon as the words fell, Du Ziteng and Wu Qin walked out of the room.

"If your father knew that you were the one who made trouble, he would have beaten you half to death first, and then regretted half to death. Wu Qin held the fruit plate in his hand and couldn't help but tease.

"He doesn't regret it, he's never regretted his decision for as long as I can remember. Even if it is the wrong path, he will grit his teeth and walk it until the voices against him disappear completely. I think it is precisely because of this character that my grandfather will choose him as the heir of the Du family. People will always make mistakes, and people must not only have the courage to know their mistakes and change them, but also have the courage to keep making mistakes, because some decisions cannot be changed and cannot be stopped. Du Ziteng's eyes carried a maturity that did not belong to his age.

"Don't you think about what if you think back one day, what if you made the wrong decision today?"

"I don't want to admit it, but I'm very similar to him. It may feel like a mistake, but it will be finished, no matter whether the end of that path is for me to climb to the sky or fall into the abyss. Du Ziteng looked at Wu Qin with a smile and said.

"I suddenly thought it was scary for you to laugh like that. Wu Qin returned to the house with the fruit plate.

At the end of what appears to be a dilapidated hut is a wooden door with a mechanism, and behind it is a passage leading to a small manor house in the back, with peach trees, apple trees, and a flower pond, and a two-story wooden house in front of it.

"Du Ziteng, you can have such a good place, even the old ...... No one knows!" Qin Xian'er looked at Du Ziteng very resentfully. She was a little glad that she had taken sick leave at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, otherwise how would she know that Du Ziteng still had such a place? No wonder she said before that she couldn't use her money.

Sure enough, no matter how down-and-out he is, no matter how unpopular he is, the young master of the rich family is not comparable to ordinary people.

Du Ziteng introduced this and that while leading the way in front, this tree was planted a few years ago, and where this flower was picked. When I walked into the house, there was a painting hanging above the main seat in the living room, the back of a beautiful woman, why did it look so familiar?

"Lao Du, who is the person in that painting?" Wu Qin looked at the painting with relish and asked, not to mention that the painting is really good, but it's a pity why didn't he paint a straight face?

Qin Xian'er looked at the painting and pouted, but when she saw the plum blossom on the right shoulder of the person in the painting, she immediately blossomed, because there was a plum blossom mole on her right shoulder, which was originally black, but then she found someone to tattoo it light red. But that was a long time after she became an Oiran, and the plum blossom mole in that painting was black, which means that Du Ziteng painted it a long time ago.

Qin Xian'er found Du Ziteng pouring tea on the side to hide his embarrassment, slowly walked to his side, and immediately hugged his arm: "Say, have you been plotting against this girl for a long time?"

Du Ziteng smiled awkwardly and didn't answer, did he let him say that when his brother took him to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion for the first time and saw Qin Xian'er's embarrassed appearance for the first time, he already liked her? Qin Xian'er would definitely laugh at him, he would, he couldn't say it, he couldn't say it even if he was killed!

"Ahem, why are the grapes on my plate so sour? Senior brother, you can also taste one, is there something wrong with my mouth?"

Gu Zhengcheng looked at the two people opposite, then looked at the fruit plate, and said lightly: "Don't taste it, senior brother, there is no problem with your mouth, don't talk about the grapes on the plate, even the peaches and apples in the yard are sour." That, Brother Du, I'm thirsty, can you give me a cup of tea?"

"Ahh Gu Zhengcheng could only take it helplessly, and Qin Xian'er on the side looked at the situation in front of him with a smile.

"Speaking of business, isn't your rainbow cloth really as unbearable as it is outside?" asked Wu Qin seriously as he put down the fruit plate.

Du Ziteng smiled mysteriously: "Brother Wu come with me." ”

Several people returned to the courtyard.

Du Ziteng took off the rainbow cloth like a dalmatian-like from the wooden frame, put it on the smooth and clean floor, and then took out a scoop of water from the water tank next to it and splashed it on the cloth, and soon the paint on it spread out unconventionally.

Seeing that the paint was almost scattered, he opened the small wooden barrel on one side, which was as transparent as glue, and Du Ziteng brushed the slime on the cloth with a brush. Quietly waiting for the cloth to dry, the rainbow cloth glows with dazzling color under the sun.

Soon, the color was fixed. Du Ziteng picked up the cloth sample and showed it to the people present, it was really like a rainbow in the sky after the rain, which made people look comfortable. And it's slippery to the touch, not the kind of annoying slippery.

"How is it?" Du Ziteng looked at the three people in front of him with a proud face.

"You have to brush every batch of cloth yourself? ”

"Haha, brotherless, you underestimate me too much. This is just the place where I experiment, rainbow cloth will become obsolete sooner or later, and I want to use it to develop different pigments. And I seem to have said before, I have a dyeing shop in the mountains, right? The water, the paint, the gelatin, is taken from that forest. After all, there are outsiders in the dyeing workshop, and I have to do some of the key batching processes here. ”

"Why don't you just dry the cloth dyeing business, what kind of fleet are you fighting for with such talent?"

Du Ziteng's eyes suddenly dimmed, and then he raised his head to look at the sky: "The property and power of the Du family are not what I want to pursue, I just want that person to bow his head and admit his mistake." This is much more difficult than fighting for the Du family's property. Du Ziteng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"If I wanted to, I would have left the Du family a few years ago and left Binzhou City with Sister Xian'er. But I can't get over that hurdle, even if I will explain to this prosperous Binzhou City, I will continue to do it. What's more, Sister Xian'er isn't so easy to take away, is she?" Du Ziteng looked at Qin Xian'er meaningfully, and Qin Xian'er lowered her head directly.

......

"If this mission is not successful, I will not have the face to go back!"
