Chapter 14 Let me do this business

After all, Jing Dabao is an old businessman who has worked hard for many years.

I muttered in my heart, but the smile on my face was still as warm as the spring breeze, blowing just right, without the heat of the summer breeze at all.

He invited Chen Gui to take a seat, and asked Xiaoer to add a pair of chopsticks.

Chen Gui didn't dare to show his timidity, so he took the chopsticks and thanked him: "I don't know if you have tried white-cut mutton. Jin Manlou's mutton is very good."

Jing Dabao said: "Taste it, it's really good, I've been in Beijing not long ago, can you introduce me to various delicacies?"

At this time, neither business nor background is mentioned, so there needs to be a topic.

Chen Gui took the words and said while eating the dishes.

After a meal is used up, the business may not be successful, but the friendship of the meal partner is still there.

The night is darkening.

Jing Dabao left the inn, looking like he was digesting food, walked along the long street with his hands behind his back, and walked straight into a Wenwan shop.

The shopkeeper sat behind the table, stretched out his hand and pointed to the depth: "Brother came at a coincidence, the master just arrived."

There is a second floor in the front and back room of the shop, and a cloth curtain hangs behind the stairs, through which is the backyard.

Jing Dabao walked to the side of the curtain, gently opened a corner to look into the yard.

There is no moon today, and the stars are so faint that you can't find a few. The courtyard is dark, only illuminated by two lanterns under the porch.

With that little light, he recognized the figure of the person sitting at the stone table.

That was Xu Jian.

Jing Dabao stepped back a little, turned his head to look at the old wooden stairs, and asked the shopkeeper softly, "Your legs are not feeling well?"

The shopkeeper nodded with a wry smile.

After all, he was seriously injured. Thanks to his youth and good foundation, he was not completely disabled. With perseverance, he stood up again, and he was able to walk steadily by himself. As long as he didn't stare at him, he wouldn't notice his lameness.

But it is impossible to say that there is no other influence.

It is still a strong character, good or bad will not talk about it.

That is to say, those who are familiar with them can see some clues.

For example, right now.

What is there to sit in the yard where the moon is dark and the wind is high?It stands to reason that you should go upstairs and sit in the private room, flipping through books and playing chess.

But he was still sitting there, obviously because of a bad leg injury, and he had to walk less stairs if he could.

After straightening out the clothes, Jing Dabao lifted the curtain again and went out.

At the table, Xu Jian heard the sound and turned around: "The great good man is here?"

Jing Dabao hurriedly saluted: "Don't make fun of me."

Xu Jian smiled lightly, picked up the jug on the table, and filled the empty wine glass: "Sit down and talk."

Jing Dabao sat down as he said: "During dinner, someone came to Jinmanlou to look for me, and I invited him to sit down and have a drink. The person called himself Chen Gui, and said he wanted to get a share of the business in Honest Alley."

With a slightly raised eyebrow, Xu Jian said, "Chen Gui? He's in his early thirties and has a mole on his right forehead?"

As she said that, Xu Jian stretched out her hand and gestured twice on her forehead.

Seeing Jing Dabao nodding, Xu Jian clicked his tongue: "He is well informed, what exactly did he say?"

When Jing Dabao heard this, he groaned in his heart.

The Duke of the State has really heard of Chen Gui's name, that young man, it seems that he has some background.

Jing Dabao repeated Chen Gui's original words.

After Xu Jian listened, she didn't answer right away, she twisted the rim of the wine cup with her fingertips, and lowered her eyes to think.

Jing Dabao didn't want to interrupt his thoughts, so he sat quietly, looking at Xu Jian's legs involuntarily.

In terms of status, he called Xu Jian "Master of the State", and in terms of age, he was from the generation of the other party's grandfather, the deceased old Lord of the State. He had met Xu Jian when he was a child. Say something like "watching grow up".

Therefore, Jing Dabao was very distressed and concerned when he saw that Xu Jian was seriously injured and the root cause of the disease had fallen.

This leg injury, not to mention a cure, it would be good if it can reduce the pain a few times.

A while ago, I heard that there was an old doctor in the Northeast who saw severe bone injuries. I wondered if he could be invited, and sent someone to look for him. Even if he couldn't find anyone, he would look for a few tiger bones.

"Herring Alley..."

When Xu Jian spoke suddenly, Jing Dabao hurriedly recovered and listened carefully.

"If I remember correctly, the household in Qingyu Alley, on the west side of the well mouth, is Chen Gui's home," Xu Jian said, "Tell him, if you want a piece of the pie, it's fine, as long as you find a guarantor with a name and surname."

Jing Dabao understood immediately.

He was right when he saw people before, Chen Gui was also running errands for noble people.

The Duke of the State has heard of Chen Gui's name, knows his background, and knows who is behind him.

After finishing talking, Jing Dabao got up first.

Stepping up to the corridor, seeing that Xu Jian didn't intend to leave, Jing Dabao subconsciously wanted to persuade him to "go home and rest earlier", but swallowed the words back.

There is only such a master left in the entire Duke's Mansion.

What's the difference between drinking in the mansion or in the courtyard alone?
Unlike himself, he didn't like to go out when he was in Yuhang, and he was willing to go back to the house after the work was done, talk to his old wife, and tease his grandchildren.

Hey!
The second watch was approaching, and Lin Yunyan was about to go to bed, when her grandmother sent someone to invite her.

Walking all the way into Zaishouyuan, and entering the East Second Room, I saw Mrs. Xiao Duan wearing a coat, sitting cross-legged on the arhat bed.

Lin Xun sat with his hands and feet bound, obviously, he disturbed Xiao Duan's sleep, and before Lin Yunyan came over, he had already been criticized by his mother.

Lin Yunyan sat down and asked, "Chen Gui replied so soon?"

"He just came to look for me, saying that Jing Dabao went to his house," Lin Xun said, and after explaining the ins and outs in detail, he smiled at Xiao Duan, "Mother, Chen Gui does things very quickly. "

How could Xiao Duan fail to see what his son was thinking?
I just received a few words just now, and wanted to seize the opportunity to praise—Chen Gui did a good job, and I, who was in this business with Chen Gui, also had merit.

Xiao Duan's family is clear, but he didn't answer Lin Xun's words.

Lin Xun was not discouraged when he failed to please, and hurriedly said: "You and Yunyan are right, the nobleman behind Jing Dabao is really willing to form a good relationship with the uncle's mansion and us. After the cooperation is finalized, they will decide If Jing Dabo comes forward, you can order another stranger, put them together in the yamen and press their fingerprints, and it will be done."

Xiao Duan laughed, angrily.

It's a good relationship, that's what Yun Yan said to coax people!
How did she teach such an innocent son?

After thinking about it, this son has nothing wrong with him other than being naive and mellow, so Xiao Duan didn't try to reason with him, but only said to Lin Yunyan: "After all, it is a business in an alley, and there are many details that need to be paid attention to. .

When the two parties negotiated, Chen Gui and Jing Dabao always let Chen Gui and Jing Dabao spread the word in the middle, which was the reason for the delay.

If we sit down and have an interview, what age is the other party, and only your uncle will come forward, is it appropriate? "

After Lin Yunyan listened, she bent her eyes and said, "Look, you're not going straight with me again, are you?
What you want to say is that when negotiating money and signing a contract, if you are of the same generation as you, you can still have the cheek to speak up, but if you are a junior, you certainly don't have the cheek to bargain with him, you are a bully.

But if only uncle goes, you don't worry, for fear that he will be coaxed into a loss-making deal.

You might as well just say it, let me talk about the deal. "
