Need for a Guard

He Dan suffered from Shi Yue's secret loss, and was so angry in his heart - for so many years in the officialdom, others have always suffered from him, and he has never suffered from others. will lose face. i^

However, now, it is really embarrassing to fall in the hands of a barbarian.

He Dan's face was red and white, and he knew how wronged Meng Jiao's eyes were, but he didn't dare to look at Meng Jiao—he took the money from others, but messed up things, and let the Meng family take away the money all at once. The tea business, which had a full [-]% share, was lost. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he still couldn't help feeling smoky.

With his eyes closed and silence for a long time, He Dan just recovered from the hysteria, and hummed to Shi Yue: "Shi Qianhu, it's getting late now, and we should follow Fu Wang's orders and settle the matter of Mingyue Tower, shall we? Fu Wang Still waiting for my reply."

Meng Jiao also held back his resentment, and said with a smirk: "Prime Minister He is right, Shi Qianhu, take out the account books, let's check the accounts, my Meng family's property must not be sloppy, and be ignored by others." My Meng family will never follow if the money is blackmailed."

In the words, there is actually a strong threat.

Shi Yue smiled, "Okay, since Mr. Meng is in a hurry to reconcile the accounts, let's reconcile the accounts, but..." He glanced sideways at Yan Tong, and said with a smile: "The eldest princess seems to have something else to say to Mr. Meng , Is Mr. Meng ignoring it?"

"what?"

Meng Jiao asked in surprise, "Eldest Princess, you...do you have...something to do?" Meng Jiao was already frightened by Yan Tong at this moment, and he was really afraid that something bad would happen to him again.

Yantong smiled and nodded, "That's natural, tea is just one of the things, I have other things, after the discussion, you can solve the problem of Mingyue Tower with Shi Qianhu, there is no rush."

When Kong Liren heard the words, he couldn't help feeling a little hopeful.

"Ah! This..."

Really afraid of something, Meng Jiao almost had a premonition that there must be nothing good, stammering: "Princess, I'm afraid that King Fu will not be able to wait..."

"What are you afraid of?"

Yantong pursed her red lips, and said narrowly: "If the emperor is angry, I will naturally bear the burden of this palace, and I can't blame you and Prime Minister He. i^"

He Dan hesitated and said, "Eldest Princess, it's getting so late..."

Yantong smiled and said: "Master He has worked hard, if you feel unwell, please go back first, I will take care of the unfinished business of Mr. He, how about it?"

How could Meng Jiao allow He Dan to go back?

This critical stall is exactly when He Dan is needed, who knows what kind of moth the eldest princess will use?

Meng Jiao hurriedly said: "If there is anything for the eldest princess, please tell me. Naturally, Prime Minister He can also consult for the eldest princess."

Yantong smiled, "En! This matter really requires Prime Minister He to come to understand it, and it depends on whether Prime Minister He can see it."

When He Dan heard it, he couldn't help paying attention, and cupped his hands and said, "Princess, you might as well speak up."

Yantong smiled charmingly, looked back at Shi Yue, and then said softly: "Mr. Meng, it has been five years since I handed over the official ceramics business to the Meng family? But Mr. Meng should remember that I taught the ceramics business to the Meng family. What did you say when you were there?"

When Meng Jiao heard this, her calves twisted in fright, and she burst into a cold sweat, "Princess Hui, I still remember."

Yan Tong said: "How did I explain to you at that time?"

"The eldest princess told me to triple the size of the ceramic business within five years, and sell it to the Western Regions, Tubo and other places."

"But did your Meng family do it?" Yan Tong continued to ask, her eyes became much sharper.

"No...no, but there is a reason for this, let me explain to the eldest princess..." Meng Jiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, organized his thoughts, and tried to explain the reason.

"You don't need to explain. I have heard of some things before."

Yantong said with a cold face: "I remember that the special envoy of Tubo once visited Jiangnan, and he was very interested in ceramic art, and he wanted to develop it in Tubo, but after all, because your Meng family's asking price was ten times higher than the market price, we stopped halfway. It’s not wrong to die young, right?”

"That...that's right! That was my greed, so..." Meng Jiao stammered, trying to explain.

Yantong interrupted Meng Jiao with a wave of his hand, and said, "I don't care about throwing out the Tubo special envoy. In the past five years, the price of ceramics market has risen again and again, but the sales of ceramics have been declining year by year. Although the Meng family's profit is much higher than before, But is this a move to kill the goose and take the egg?"

"In a few years, the pottery business might be extinct in Jiangnan, right? Mr. Meng, do you think that this palace is scaremongering?"

"Princess, this... this cannot be concluded simply, some things require long-term discussions."

Meng Jiao was stunned by Yan Tong's two consecutive questions, unable to answer at all, so he had to use the word "long-term plan" to push back.

"I don't have time to discuss with you for a long time."

Yantong laughed disdainfully, and said to Kong Liren: "Young Master Kong and Shi Qianhu are friends, and Shi Qianhu's friend, I can trust him naturally."

"This pottery business, I will leave it to you. You must give me pride. Earning money is a small matter, but it is a big thing to carry forward the treasures of your ancestors."

Kong Liren couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly responded: "Thank you for your love, princess, I will definitely live up to your expectations. I will definitely sell ceramics to Tubo and the Western Regions, and make the craftsmanship handed down from my ancestors famous all over the world."

"So good!"

Yantong encouraged Kong Liren a few words, but smiled at the frowning He Dan: "Prime Minister He, what do you think about this matter? Have you understood the knowledge involved?"

He Dan saw Yan Tong's burning eyes staring at him, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he suddenly understood, and finally understood Yan Tong's "good intentions".

He has been expressing doubts about Yan Tong's actions just now!

Although Yantong has an overview of the economic power and secretly controls the business of the four families of Kong, Meng, Xun, and Han, he has never questioned him so severely today.

And regarding the matter of the tea business, if Yan Tong wanted to resolve it, she would not delay until today, not to mention that this matter is not necessarily so urgent, why must she resolve the matter of tea before solving the matter of Mingyue Tower? Lose?

And when this matter was resolved, it was repeatedly advertised that it was because of trust in Shi Yue's character, and Kong Liren was a friend of Shi Yue, that he handed over the tea business to the Kong family-this means that the tea business changed hands, and Shi Yue There is a great relationship.

It can be said that Shi Yue completely influenced Yan Tong's decision.

But now, after the tea business has just been settled and Meng Jiao suffered a loss, the eldest princess still doesn't talk about the Mingyue Tower, and she actually uses the ceramic business as a handle to pull it out.

And the ending is also within my own expectations - Yan Tong shows that she trusts Shi Yue's character, and then wins the ceramics business from Meng Jiao, and hands it over to Kong Liren.

In this matter, Shi Yue completely controlled Yan Tong's decision.

Through these two things, one will find that Yan Tong is vaguely implying one thing, that is: she unconditionally believes in Shi Yue's character.

Thinking of this, He Dan finally sorted out the clues, and Yan Tong's fundamental purpose was ready to come out.
