Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 43 Robbery (1)

"Since it's an old rule, why does shopkeeper Zhao keep silent? I've asked you about this three or four times." Li Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at shopkeeper Zhao and asked straight away, shopkeeper Zhao laughed dryly: "Now we You can't brew wine without Qu Yin, Wu Niangzi should think about this important matter, what's the use of entangled with those past events, she really is a long-haired woman."

"What did Shopkeeper Zhao say? Or close this Qianchunfang?" Li Tian's voice was full of anger. Shopkeeper Zhao crossed his legs, picked up the tea bowl, sipped the tea soup loudly, looked at Li Tian and said, "This is easy." The Quyin at the checkpoint is still the same as last year, and there is no shortage of one. If we don’t have it, someone must have it. Whoever has the Quyin, let’s use Qianchunfang to do business with her. .”

"Business Manager Zhao's words don't make sense. The one who took Qu Yin doesn't have his own winery? He doesn't have enough Qu Yin, why would he join us in making wine together?" Li Tian sighed, frowning, With a low voice, shopkeeper Zhao chuckled, looked at Li Tian with half disdain and half pity, and said, "Firstly, no new wineries have opened in this capital, and secondly, there have been no changes in the old wineries. This Quyin...cough." Shopkeeper Zhao almost blurted out: "The person who has taken the Quyin must open a new wine shop, Wu Niangzi will take money lightly, and this difficulty will be over."

Shopkeeper Wang raised his head and glanced at Shopkeeper Zhao, then glanced at the other shopkeepers who were drinking tea more attentively, lowered their eyelids, and continued to concentrate on drinking tea, but secretly sighed inwardly. Everyone could tell that shopkeeper Zhao was usually a shrewd person, so why did he lose any sense today?Really dizzy!
"Qu Yin is in someone else's hands. How can it be a good place to do business? Besides, it's hard for you to have two shopkeepers in one place. If not, I don't want this Qianchunfang. Let's see if anyone is willing to take over. Just sell it and forget it." Li Tian seemed angry and sad at the same time.Shopkeeper Zhao said with a smile: "This is also a way. I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it at a high price. The owner thinks about it, what's the use of buying Qianchun Fang from those old wineries? This new guy who took Qu Yin and wants to open a wine shop, knowing that we don't have Qu Yin, Why are you willing to bid? Besides, there are still a lot of grain, wine bottles and barrels in Qianchunfang. The wine bottles and barrels are fine, but the grain can't be saved. Originally, Wu Niangzi was sure, seeing the first batch of new wine brewed No, without Qu Yin, this wine would have to be poured into the Bian River, don’t you think so? Ah? Haha.” Shopkeeper Zhao looked at the shopkeepers and laughed.

Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Sun lowered their eyelids as if they didn't hear Shopkeeper Zhao's words. Some of the other four shopkeepers aimed at Li Tian, ​​and some laughed and entertained Shopkeeper Zhao.Li Tian sighed, looked at Shopkeeper Zhao who was in high spirits and asked, "What do Shopkeeper Zhao think?"

"This... Let's discuss it, let's talk about it first, it depends on what the owner means." The eyes of the shopkeeper Zhao were shining, and Li Tian lowered his eyes and sighed: "The shopkeeper Zhao has been in charge of Qianchun Fang for many years. I know the key to the market in the brewing industry, so I would like to ask shopkeeper Zhao to give me an idea."

"Hey, well, since the boss said so, I can't refuse anymore. It's really hard to talk about it." Shopkeeper Zhao seemed extremely embarrassed: "I think it's not like this, people have Quyin, we have a winery, why not Two in one."

"How is it legal? Shopkeeper Zhao will explain in detail." Li Tian said in a soft voice with coldness, Shopkeeper Zhao said with a relaxed smile: "To be honest, we are begging for this combination, and it is really not our turn to talk about it." What is legal is not so legal. In the wine industry, the most important thing is Quyin, just like the salt. The most valuable thing is that Zhangyan. Don’t expect too much from the owner. I think so, I will take [-]% first. Talk to others and see if we can discuss it, it's still the same, on this document." Shopkeeper Zhao said with embarrassing canthus: "This Qianchunfang has to be divided into two according to this, and I'm afraid they have to send The tent and the manpower come..."

"The 'family' that Shopkeeper Zhao is talking about is Duke Wen's Mansion." Li Tian interrupted Shopkeeper Zhao coldly. Shopkeeper Zhao frowned and looked at Li Tian and said, "My master is also a smart person."

"I'm not smart, this Qianchunfang, I plan to set it on fire." Li Tian shook his sleeves, looked at Shopkeeper Zhao and sneered, and Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Li Tian with a dry smile as if someone had slapped him: "My boss, why bother to bet on this, chickens can't touch rocks."

"How much benefit has Duke Wen's Mansion promised you?" Li Tian looked at Shopkeeper Zhao, and asked in a flat voice, "You were asked to do such a thing to deceive the seller? I met Princess Ningguo in Dongyang County's mansion a while ago. , Princess Dachang asked me, Qianchunfang had a profit of 1 taels in previous years, why was it only [-] taels last year? I can’t answer this question, and you don’t take me seriously. I dare not ask you this. Let me ask you for the Eldest Princess, and answer your new master's question."

Shopkeeper Zhao's face turned from red to white and then to gray, staring straight at Li Tian, ​​his hands subconsciously clenched into fists, Li Tian looked at him sympathetically, "Just to make this 1 taels of silver a mess I can make you confused, your new owner won’t allow you to be confused about her half of the money, the eldest princess doesn’t have a shop, don’t you know whether her shopkeeper is easy or hard to do? Or I’m wrong, shopkeeper Zhao Are you going to take this ten thousand silver and go back to your hometown to retire?" Li Tian laughed softly: "The eldest princess has to nod her head, but for ten thousand silver, the lady Wen Guogong misses so much is worth exactly one thousand dollars now. Ten thousand."

"My boss is in a hurry, why are you talking nonsense!" Shopkeeper Zhao was stern, and shopkeeper Wang straightened up and scolded: "Are you talking to my boss? You can't tell the difference between superior and inferior?" Shopkeeper Zhao neck Just as he was about to stop him, Li Tian raised his hand to stop him and said, "Since he joined Duke Wen's mansion, he and I can no longer talk about being the host and guest."

Shopkeeper Wang stared at Shopkeeper Zhao, and hummed heavily. Li Tian looked at Shopkeeper Zhao, who was blushing, and said, "I understand Duke Wen's government and your plan, do you also understand?" Li Tian Tian turned his head and looked at the other four shopkeepers and asked, the four shopkeepers were uneven or "yes" or "uh ah", Li Tian didn't pay much attention to it, just looked at shopkeeper Zhao and said with a smile: "Qianchunfang can't keep any more You, shopkeeper Wang, send a message for me. From now on, shopkeeper Zhao will not be allowed to step into Qianchunfang. As for the [-] silver, you can take it back for retirement. Grandma has always been generous to the shopkeeper and the staff, I can’t let it go her reputation."

"You?" Shopkeeper Zhao stood up with a 'huh', and the development of the matter had completely deviated from his imagination: "Without Quyin, you just watch Qianchunfang to see it rot!"

"As I said, I'd rather burn it with a fire." Li Tian said with a leisurely smile, "Shopkeeper Zhao, go slowly, and Shopkeeper Sun will give me a gift for Shopkeeper Zhao." Shopkeeper Sun hurriedly stood up and raised his hand to signal Shopkeeper Zhao Shopkeeper Zhao stared at Li Tian fiercely and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, a chicken can't touch a rock." After finishing speaking, he raised his head and gave a 'hum', brushed his clothes vigorously, and left with his hands.

Li Tian exhaled softly, turned his head to look at the other four shopkeepers and said, "There are not many nobles in this world who are as good-tempered as I am, and I messed up my job..." Li Tian laughed softly: "This I've heard too much about this kind of thing, alas, there are not many bosses who are as talkative as grandma and me."

After saying that, Li Tian stood up, and while motioning for Cao Si's daughter-in-law to put on the veiled hat, he looked at shopkeeper Wang and said, "They want to be lively, and we should also be lively, so the more lively the better."

"Yes!" Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly stood up and crossed his hands and agreed respectfully. The other four shopkeepers also hurriedly stood up, watching Shopkeeper Wang respectfully lead Li Tian out the door, you look at me, I look at you, standing tacitly Waiting for Shopkeeper Wang to come back to speak.

When Li Tian returned to Qingtongyuan, Yue Niang came in, waved Yingluo and the others away, looked at Li Tian and said, "Just let that Zhao go? It's too cheap for him! He's not the same as Huang, who is Running away, he stabbed a knife in the back! I don't think he can be taken advantage of, just kill him!"

"If shopkeeper Zhao has any troubles, anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that it is either the Duke Wen's mansion or ours. Don't underestimate the Yamen of the Beijing government. There are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers inside. It may not be possible to find out who did it. "Li Tian held the cup in both hands, looked out of the window for a while, and then continued: "Now the eldest prince will go to the government office in the middle of the month. Simple, besides, we can only show weakness now, and we are asking for pity and sympathy from others, if something like killing shopkeeper Zhao happens, then the loss outweighs the gain."

"It's really cheap for him." Yue Niang regretted, "Don't worry, his life may not be easy." Li Tian tilted his head and thought for a while, and then ordered: "You find Sun Liu and let him watch him for a few days. Tight shopkeeper Zhao, if something goes wrong, we can't be planted."

"Okay, I'll go now." Yue Niang stood up and lifted the curtain to go out. Li Tian leaned on the kang, staring at the flowers outside the window in a daze.

The post celebrating the merger of Qingfenglou and Qianchunfang was sent to Princess Ningguo. Princess Ningguo read it several times and couldn't believe what she said. She hurriedly sent three or four people out to inquire. His throat was sweet, and he couldn't breathe in one breath, and almost passed out.

Wen Guogong Wu Chenglin and Dai Guanshi followed his mother-in-law and hurried to Princess Ningguo to go to the room. Princess Ningguo drank a few sips of Suhexiang wine and was already recovering. When she saw Guanshi Dai enter the door, she pointed at him and cursed: "Useless bastards! You don't know about such a big thing! What's the use of raising you trash? Come on, drag me down and beat me, you count as dead!"

Steward Dai was so frightened that he shuddered into a ball, threw himself on the ground and kowtowed, Wu Chenglin dodged a few steps to the side, avoiding Princess Ningguo's swearing, glanced at the frightened Steward Dai, who was so frightened, he begged for mercy: You can't blame him entirely, I think it's Zhao who is in the middle of the trouble, didn't that Zhao say yesterday that it was the young lady of the Li family who insisted on a gamble? Or arrest Zhao and beat him to death to relieve his anger. "

Princess Ningguo raised her hand to stop the thick woman who was about to drag Steward Dai down, closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, raised her hand and said, "Get up first!" Trembling, standing by with hands down, Princess Ningguo pointed at him viciously and asked, "Tell me, what's going on? Why did Qingfenglou take over Qianchunfang?"

"Aniang, I think it's not a big deal." Wu Chenglin said lightly and nonchalantly: "The Qingfeng Building is the property of the Huang family, and the Huang family is like a dog in front of the fifth child. A Niang called the fifth child over. Give me an order, Qianchunfang is still ours."

"You're confused!" Princess Ningguo was so angry that she had a headache and chest tightness: "Qingfenglou clearly and clearly knew that we took the song quotation from Qianchunfang, so how shrewd is Huang Jingjie, can't guess our plan? How dare he take over Qianchunfang, he did it knowingly!"

"This yellow net festival is really not a thing!" Wu Chenglin hurriedly said with righteous indignation: "Isn't this intentional to make you look bad, Auntie? Why don't you go to the palace to find officials to talk about this, and let the officials comment on this truth." Ningguo Grand Master The princess looked at her son disappointed and sad, took a long time to take a deep breath, looked at her son and said coldly: "What do you say to the officials? You said that we wanted to plot the property of the orphan girl, but they were robbed by the Qingfeng Building halfway? "

Wu Chenglin was too shy to answer, Princess Ningguo raised her hand and patted her chest, coughed a few times and ordered: "You go over now, go find fifth brother, and tell him that we will take over the Qianchunfang this year. Qu Yin, just waiting to take over Qianchunfang for wine business, the Huang family intercepted Qianchunfang, this is to let us have no way out, so just tell him! I think he can pull this face and say 'no' !"
