The night is quiet, the wind is slightly cool, and there are bursts of floral fragrance.

In the study of the Huo Mansion, Huo Xi, the head of the Huo family, sat at the tea table with a dry tobacco in his mouth.

A maid next to him lit the tobacco leaves in the smoke pot with a fire breaker, he took a deep breath, and then spit out a long white mist.

Sitting across from him was his nephew, Guangling Tong sentenced Huo Chuanming.

"He didn't even sell the wine, you say...... Then what does Li Chenan mean by this?"

"Uncle Hui, I think one is that he doesn't have the money to expand the scale, and the other is that the Shen family let go and let the grain merchants in the entire Guangling City not sell grain to him. ”

Of course, his tavern didn't need much food to sell ten pounds of wine a day, and he could buy it secretly from some small traders. But if he wants to become bigger, it is absolutely impossible, so his painting Ping Chun will not pose any threat to our Guanglingsan. ”

Horsey took another puff of his cigarette, and the smoke hazy his old face.

He squinted, looked out the window, and after a moment asked, "Shen Qianshan...... Shen Qianshan has done well over the years. But in this Guangling City, he can't control all the grain merchants single-handedly, such as his old rival Cai Zhengyao. ”

"Uncle, Shen Qiaoxi mentioned that Cai Zhengyao had been to the tavern, and the little nephew also sent someone to investigate, Cai Zhengyao did go to his tavern to drink in the past few days. ”

"But...... Cai Zhengyao's business in Guangling City is quite large, and he thinks he can't look down on the dozens of catties of grain that Li Chenan needs. ”

"Even if he can take a fancy to it, it doesn't hurt if he really cooperates with Li Chenan. ”

"As long as Shen Qianshan does a good job of this year's autumn grain in Jiangnan, his Cai Zhengyao's business will have no supply, and it will be too late for him to protect himself, let alone sell grain to Li Chen'an. ”

"Well," Huo Xi nodded, and asked again, "Is Cheng Guogong gone?"

"Back to Uncle, I heard Zhongli Qiuyang say that Cheng Guogong will probably stay in Guangling City for three or five days. ”

"You say...... This Cheng Guogong brought his grandson Cheng Zhe to Zhongli Mansion to propose marriage, it has been five or six days, why haven't you heard any news?"

"This ...... After all, that Miss Zhongli has a tough temperament, and she shouldn't like that Cheng Gongzi either, otherwise she wouldn't have done that thing of recruiting a son-in-law with literature. ”

This is obviously a loss of face for Cheng Guogong, and it is normal that there is no news coming out. ”

Horsey took another puff of cigarette, the tobacco leaves in the pot had burned out, he turned the pot over, knocked it on his heels, and handed the cigarette stick to the maid behind him.

"This thing is still a little weird, the old man thinks that since Cheng Guogong has arrived in Guangling City, then the Huo family should go and visit him, after all, Cheng Guogong's mansion, one of the five major mansions, still has a great influence in our Ning country. ”

"Mingyang has a close relationship with the Luo Guo Mansion in Kyoto, but if he can get closer to the Cheng Guo Mansion, it will help his career to some extent. ”

But the old man asked the chief butler to send the prayer post to Zhongli's mansion...... I didn't send it out, and I didn't even see Cheng Guogong's face. ”

"It is said that this Cheng Guogong has been in Guangling City for a few days, and he has been living in Zhongli Mansion all the time, and he has not even left the door...... What does that mean?"

Huo Chuanming thought for a while, "Xu is talking to Zhong Lisu about the marriage, or the little nephew will probe Zhong Liqiuyang's tone another day." ”

"Well," Huo Xi nodded, "Zhongli Mansion is too high, and Cheng Guogong's Mansion is too high, if they really marry...... It's a huge pressure on the Luo Guogong Mansion. ”

"Fortunately, the third young lady from Zhongli Mansion had no intention of this, but this was a good thing. Let's not talk about this, after all, the strength of Huo Mansion is still far from them. ”

Huo Xi took a sip of the teacup, looked at Huo Chuanming and asked another question:

"Has the flower elder left Guangling City?"

"Hua Lao has left Guangling City for Kyoto today, and Liu Chu personally sent him off. ”

Huo Xi pondered for a moment and nodded, he sat up straight from his chair, "Then wait for Cheng Guogong to leave Guangling City, and then ...... I'm going to draw the brewing method of Ping Chun. ”

"The little nephew knows!"

"In addition, although it is only the end of March, the matter of autumn grain in Jiangnan must be ordered to Shen Qianshan to hurry up, and there must not be the slightest mistake in that matter!"

"Write two letters, one to the fifth child in Huyin County, and one to the eighth child in Yi County, these two counties are the largest grain-producing counties in the south of the Yangtze River, so that they can also keep an eye on it. ”

"In addition, I also got a news that the daughter of Lord Cao of Jiangnan Weaving happens to be in harmony, which means famous...... Let the old man go to Pingjiang to propose to Huo Zigui. ”

"You should prepare more gifts these days, and the old man will bring them when the time comes. ”

Huo Chuanming's eyes suddenly lit up, although Jiangnan Weaving was only a five-grade official, but it was one of the two fat differences in the entire Ning Kingdom!

The other is the Salt Iron Division.

If the Guangling Huo family can marry the Cao family in Jiangnan, this will of course be of great benefit to the Huo family.

Cousin Huo Baiyang is in Kyoto, although he is a close minister of the crown prince, he still needs a lot of help.

Another question suddenly occurred to him, so he leaned over and asked in a low voice:

"Uncle, little nephew heard about Kyoto...... His Royal Highness the Second Prince seems to have overpowered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Horthy raised his eyes, his eyes a little cold.

"Don't ask, don't tell, and don't care about these things!"

"You just need to do your part, and the rest will be arranged by Baiyang. ”

"The most important thing now is the matter of our Guangling City, and the painting screen spring is pressed on our Guangling San's head, which makes me a little uneasy!"

"Li Chen'an, this person, also makes the old man a little uneasy!"

"I can't touch him for the time being, but ...... You can also lick and block him, for example, aren't there a lot of ruffians in Guangling City?"

Huo Chuanming bowed down, his face was ruthless: "The little nephew knows what to do!"

The Huo family in Guangling is playing with Li Chen'an's idea, and there are also people in Zhongli Ruoshui's Peach Blossom Villa with his idea.

"I said, Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, you really don't want to taste it?"

Peach Blossom Villa, a large peach forest with a large red lantern hanging.

In one of the pavilions, Zhongli Ruoshui looked at Ning Chuchu opposite with a smile, and said with his eyebrows fluttering: "It's really delicious, Cheng Zhe and Qi Zhixue almost didn't fight because of that wine, and the two of them have been waiting in front of the door of his tavern every day to open the door." ”

"Because it's a little late, it's gone. ”

"Hey, I said, what do you think he ...... What about him?"

Ning Chuchu pursed his lips, "What?"

"It's just compared to Shang Shang Cheng, how is it?"

Ning Chuchu immediately glared at Zhongli Ruoshui, "Isn't it just a good wine?" This is just a small road, the thing that Prime Minister Shang did is a real avenue!"

Zhongli Ruoshui shrugged his nose, "But Qi Zhixue said that if you can walk out of a big road from the path, it is also a great ability!"

"Besides......" Zhongli Ruoshui bit his lip, "Once the people of the entire Guangling City thought he was a fool, who would have thought that he would be able to make such a good wine?"

"Now everyone thinks that he is the little shopkeeper of a tavern, who knows if he has a chance one day, will he also have the great ability to govern the country and level the world?"

Ning Chuchu felt that Zhong Liruo had been poisoned by that person these days.

However, if you think about it carefully, although Zhongli Ruoshui's fantasy is a little unrealistic, Li Chenan's kid does have some ability.

Since he made such a good wine in one go, it means that he already knew that this is a better winemaking technique than Ruilu, but he has been low-key and forbearant for seventeen years, and would rather sell the steamed cakes and grass cakes with very low profits than sell this profitable wine.

He knew what was going on.

It wasn't until he had the identity of the embroidery envoy of the Lijing Division that he brewed the wine, which was to plan and then act.

Therefore, his temperament is really as calm as Hua Lao said, and his actions are not as frivolous as most teenagers in the world.

In this way, the difficult task of the Reikagin Division could be given to him.

Ning Chuchu leaned over and looked at Zhongli Ruoshui, his face did not have the slightest seriousness of the leader of the Lijing Division, revealing a playful appearance that belonged to a girl: "Hey, I said, if you really like him, in order to show your Zhongli Ruoshui's unique vision, and also to let the entire Zhongli Mansion have no gossip about you......"

"Shouldn't you help him?"

"If he can really be the prime minister, I think that is the most perfect, after all, the identity of the shopkeeper of a tavern...... Even if you don't dislike it, don't you have some regrets after all?"

When Zhongli Ruoshui heard this, he thought for a moment and nodded, "Who in the world doesn't want her husband to be dazzling?

"Think about it, is his painting screen spring in short supply now?"

"Yes!"

"Drawing Pingchun is so good, but his backyard is so small......"

Zhongli Ruoshui understood.

She suddenly let out an oh of realization, and her eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light.

"Build a brewery!!"

"Build a big brewery!"

"Increase the output of the painting screen spring above Guanglingsan!"

"Higher selling prices, higher profits, bigger market ...... Even if he has no ambition to be a marquis and worship the prime minister, there is no problem in becoming the richest man in Guangling...... Great idea!"

Ning Chuchu laughed.

Zhongli Ruoshui fell into the girl's fantasy: "I will build a workshop for him on the thousands of acres of land outside!"

"It's just...... It is definitely not possible to sell it in a tooth shop, firstly, he does not have so much silver, and secondly, what if there are other businessmen who want to buy it?"

"By the way, you can lend it to him. ”

"But he doesn't like to be favored, so what if he doesn't?"

The girl was talking to herself, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, and finally her eyes rolled around, "I almost forgot, I can be his friend!"

"He doesn't know my name, and he can't let him know my name just yet. ”

"That drama of heroes saving beauty hasn't been acted yet...... He had already met Cheng Zhe...... In the past two days, I will arrange a few generals to let Cheng Zhe wear a scarf, and let's go to the door of his tavern to perform this play!"
