Chapter 132 Taking the Food Bank Into the Bag
Chapter 132 Taking the Food Bank Into the Bag
Xiao Gao didn't expect that, with his own words of support, he would actually lead the fire to Lu Xinwan!
In the previous marriage proposal, she still had an excuse that she couldn't be Lu Xinyan's master, but Lu Xinwan is her own daughter, how could she not be the master?
But how could she just helplessly push her daughter into the fire pit and be a widow for the rest of her life?
what to do?Now how to do?Xiao Gao was so anxious that he didn't know what to do!
"Aunt Gao, Mr. Shen is still waiting for your reply? Have you thought about it for so long, is it because you don't like the disciples of the Shen family, or do you think Mr. Shen... can't do it, so you don't like him?" Lu Xinyan added fuel to the side.
"Mrs. Ankang! I, Shen Qingzhu, are here today. If your family does not agree to my Shen family's marriage proposal, it will be an enemy of my Shen family, of scholars, and of all students in the world! You have to weigh it yourself." Weigh it! Three days later, when I come to the door again, I hope to hear a satisfactory answer!" After Shen Qingzhu said a harsh word, she shook her sleeves and left.
Xiao Gao rolled his eyes and passed out.
When Matchmaker Liu saw this, she was afraid of killing someone and getting into trouble or a lawsuit, so she didn't dare to stay for long, so she said goodbye with a smile, and left quickly.
Lu Xinyan glanced at Xiao Gao who was being helped up by the anxious Nanny Ling, shook her head and left, she didn't expect Xiao Gao to be so careless!If you say dizzy, you will be dizzy!
Shen Qingzhu left Ankangbo Mansion angrily, and asked the coachman to detour to Yicuilou, intending to find someone to vent his anger.
As soon as he got out of the carriage and walked to the door, he collided with someone, causing his shoulder to hurt.
The two yelled at the same time, "Which bastard doesn't have eyes when he walks?"
After yelling, he realized that the other party's voice sounded familiar, so he took a closer look and exclaimed at the same time, "Brother Shen?" "Ting Yu?"
The person who bumped into Shen Qingzhu was a 17-year-old young man, dressed in purple costumes, with handsome features. He was Kong Tingyu, the eldest grandson of Kong Zhiren, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, nephew of Concubine Kong Shu, and cousin of the fourth prince Wu Yun. Kong Xinwen, the left servant of the father's household department, came back from Yanxi for disaster relief.
Most of the children of the Kong family work in the household department. At a young age, Kong Tingyu is already the head of the sixth-rank household department. For the best!
With his grandfather and father escorting his official career, his future is limitless. The young Kong Tingyu is full of ambition and high spirits. The year-old Shen Qingzhu hit it off at the first sight, and they talked very happily.
Kong Tingyu said happily: "Brother Shen, you also go to the brothel, let's go together! I heard that there is a new batch of girls here in Yicuilou, all of them are pretty, Brother Shen is very knowledgeable and good-looking, help me to palm my eyes , choose the one you like, and my younger brother will be the master!"
He just came back yesterday, and he hasn't heard the latest rumors about Jingzhong, and he doesn't know about Shen Qingzhu's dismissal.
Shen Qingzhu's face froze, and she quickly returned to normal, "Tingyu, you just came back from Yanxi, and it's been a hard journey, so it's my elder brother who will be the host!"
Kong Tingyu smiled heartily, "Hahaha, since that's the case, I won't be too polite, brother Shen will be the host today, and brother Shen will be the host another day! Brother Shen, please!"
"Tingyu, please!"
The two of them went in together, and Yicuilou's mother couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and immediately arranged for the room without waiting for orders, and personally picked out a few of the most outstanding new girls.
The new girls are all charming and beautiful, seeing their mothers are so fancy, they know that they must be sons of noble families in the middle of the capital, and they all try their best.
The girls are new here, and they have never seen Shen Qingzhu's perverted methods. Seeing that he is as handsome as a bamboo, with outstanding demeanor, a few of them who fell in love with him leaned on his side, whispering softly and winking.
The other few saw Kong Tingyu's handsome young man, and his funny words, they were all happy and rushed to flatter him.
Shen Qingzhu was so excited physically and mentally, thinking of the invincibility in the past, compared with the powerlessness of the present, this made the violent spirit in his heart more and more serious. If Kong Tingyu was not there, he would have hit two girls casually, and began to vent his heart. I'm angry.
But now that Kong Tingyu is here, he can only endure it, show a modest smile, and deal with those girls.
However, her thoughts drifted to Lu Xinyan, the chief culprit who caused him such a thing.
Thinking of this, he thought of the matter of asking for marriage just now, and now he understood that he was put on by Lu Xinyan.
However, the proposal to marry Miss Lu has already been released, and he will not change his mouth. As for Lu Xinyan, he will not let it go, and he must find another way to deal with it!
"Master Shen, come, I'll give you a drink." The seductive woman in her arms showed half of her wrist, raised her slender hand, and brought a glass of wine to his lips.
Shen Qingzhu smiled slightly, drank the wine in the glass along her hand, and frivolously licked her fingers.
The woman giggled coquettishly, her voice was crisp and flattering, "I hate it~"
The unique voice made Kong Tingyu who was opposite him couldn't help but look over.
Shen Qingzhu suddenly had a thought, and said lightly: "Everyone go out first."
The few women didn't understand why they were asked to go out suddenly, but they were all trained people, they got up one after another, quietly left the room without saying a word, and closed the door behind them.
Kong Tingyu looked at those slender figures going away, and swallowed frequently, "Brother Shen, just now those younger brothers thought it was pretty good, didn't Brother Shen look down on any of them? Compared with the women in the brothels along the west side of the capital, they are really inferior." It's too far away, and the little brother has no interest at all, and daddy is strict, but the little brother hasn't tasted a woman for a long time."
Shen Qingzhu smiled mysteriously, "Tingyu, do you trust Brother Shen's taste?"
Kong Tingyu laughed out loud, and only men could understand the deep meaning in it, "Of course I believe it. Brother Shen's introductions before are all top quality."
"If you talk about the best, the best in the world is not the brothel girl, but..." Shen Qingzhu deliberately kept it a secret.
Kong Tingyu said anxiously: "Brother Shen, don't be fooled, just say it!"
Shen Qingzhu lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious and said: "Naturally, those women in the deep boudoir who cannot be satisfied."
Kong Tingyu stepped down his shoulders with some disappointment, "Brother Shen, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I'm not married yet. If my grandfather knows that my younger brother is now ambiguous with those women, which affects my marriage, grandpa and father still don't want to marry me." With Concubine Shu, I will not let my little brother go!"
The disciples of the high school seem to have unlimited scenery, but in fact they are also subject to many restrictions.
For example, Kong Tingyu, Kong Zhiren and Kong Xinwen were very strict in order to be able to marry a family in the capital, and the family had to have one room.
Kong Tingyu was at the age when he was interested in women. Although the Tongfang had caught his eye, he would get tired of eating too much delicious braised pork. He was not allowed to accept the Tongfang at home, forcing him to go out seek development.
Although the reputation will also be damaged, the thinking of people in this era is: it is a romantic affair for a man to go to a brothel occasionally, and it is harmless, because there will be no sequelae!However, if there are many houses in the family before marriage, firstly, it is easy for the regular wife to fail to come to the house, and concubines and concubine daughters will be born.
Therefore, when many rich families choose a son-in-law for their daughter, the number of houses the man has in his home before marriage is one of the important considerations. One or two connecting rooms are the most reassuring.
As for being entangled with a married woman, that is even more disdainful than having countless rooms in the house!Because that has touched the bottom line of morality!
Shen Qingzhu also came from a family, so she understood Kong Tingyu's worries and worries, "Tingyu, how could I not understand your difficulties? But since I said it, there are naturally candidates who will not affect your marriage."
Hearing what he said, Kong Tingyu became interested, "Who is it?"
"Miss Lu Xinyan from the Ankangbo Mansion who came back to the mansion the day before yesterday." Shen Qingzhu showed a strange smile on his face, "You are not in Beijing. There are some things you don't know. The prince, Xiao Shizi, Gongsun Gongzi and others are not clear, Guangping Marquis originally wanted to divorce her, but because of the identities of the three of them, they ended up reconciling and leaving her."
"Third Prince, Xiao Shizi, Gongsun Gongzi!?" Kong Tingyu stared wide-eyed, "Where is that woman so sacred that she can make three people's hearts move at the same time?"
Shen Qingzhu then praised Lu Xinyan's appearance and style, and finally said: "Tingyu, with your appearance and family background, as long as you are willing to throw an olive branch, Miss Lu will definitely throw you in my arms! She used to be Married woman, now you are waiting to be married, if you don't make a good thing, it's useless to play, and you don't have to worry about causing trouble to your upper body."
Kong Tingyu was heartbroken and puzzled, "Brother Shen, such a good candidate, why did you..."
In his impression, Shen Qingzhu's fondness for sex is even worse than him, especially those married women, whom Shen Qingzhu loves the most. Now that there is such a beautiful woman there, Shen Qingzhu Why not?
Shen Qingzhu sighed, "Tingyu, you have been away for a few months, and there are some things you don't know."
Kong Tingyu said: "I would like to hear the details."
"Your sister-in-law Shen and I have reconciled a few days ago because of our disagreement, and when a servant was serving me, he accidentally poured hot water on my lap, so people with bad intentions from the outside world accused me I have lost my masculinity, that's why your sister-in-law left me! I couldn't justify all this, so I had to acquiesce. But my grandfather couldn't bear my being wronged, so he ordered me to go to Ankangbo Mansion to marry Second Miss Lu. Once everything is done, Miss Lu has become my sister-in-law, how can I show my affection to her now?"
After Kong Tingyu heard this, he sympathized and said: "It's all because Brother Shen is too good and makes people jealous, so such rumors spread! Brother Shen, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person, and I won't believe those nonsense! If someone says it in front of my younger brother, my younger brother will definitely reprimand me!"
Shen Qingzhu was overjoyed in his heart, and said gratefully on his face: "Thank you Tingyu for your trust!"
Kong Tingyu said: "Brother Shen, Miss Lu is now out of the gate, how can I meet her?"
Shen Qingzhu said: "It's simple, let Ms. Kong hold a flower viewing banquet and invite the ladies from all families to participate. Isn't it enough to have a chance encounter at that time?"
Kong Tingyu chuckled, "Brother Shen still has an idea, I will ask my sister to write a post after my younger brother returns! But those beauties just now..."
"There are two that I think are good," Shen Qingzhu roughly said with a face in clothes.
"As Brother Shen said, you and I will be alone." He was about to call someone in, Shen Qingzhu said: "I came out today by the order of my grandfather, I have to go back and report to my grandfather."
"Then elder brother Shen, go slowly, younger brother will not hinder you from doing business." Kong Tingyu was anxious to do business with the beauty, so he didn't want to keep her.
Shen Qingzhu left contentedly.
When Kong Tingyu saw Lu Xinyan and was attracted by her beauty, he urged Kong Tingyu to pretend to go to the Ankangbo Mansion to propose a marriage. He took this opportunity to seize the secret of Lu Xinyan and Kong Tingyu's secret exchange, and then he was afraid that she would not let him do whatever he wanted?
Shen Qingzhu thought viciously: Lu Xinyan, you wait, I won't play with you and your surname to death!
In Uncle Ankang's mansion, as soon as little Gao woke up, she ran to Gao and cried, "Auntie, you have to make up your mind for Xinwan!"
Mrs. Gao already knew about this matter, and she was very angry at first, but under the persuasion of Madam Che, she slowly returned to calm.
Madam Che said, "Old lady, this Shen family is not an ordinary family. Mr. Shen is a contemporary literary figure, the leader of scholars, and the entire Tianwu Kingdom students look up to him! Standing in the wrong team, the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, and if he fails, he will be killed all over the house. Which of the dynasties is not like this? But if he joins the Shen family, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne in the future, he must respect and respect the Shen family. The in-laws of the family will be valued by the new emperor, so this Shen family is an excellent life-saving talisman!"
When Gao heard this, she felt that it was reasonable, but after all, Lu Xinwan was her beloved granddaughter, so she couldn't bear to send her to be a widow! "But Mr. Shen heard that he was already inhumane, and wanted me to push Xinwan into the fire pit with my own hands..."
Mother Che said: "Old Madam, the Shen family has a high reputation, maybe some people are secretly fabricating rumors about Mr. Shen in order to damage the prestige of the Shen family! Besides, if Mr. Shen really has a secret illness, the second young lady will marry him." After the past, the Shen family felt ashamed of the second lady, and would definitely find a way to make it up to our Uncle Ankang's mansion. The position of the uncle might be promoted, and the title of the uncle might be repeated again. Three generations! Although it is a little wronged by the second lady, but as the young lady of the uncle's mansion, the second lady has to sacrifice for the future of the uncle's mansion to enjoy the wealth of the uncle's mansion! Except for that matter, the servant believes that after the second lady is married, she will live a happy life. better than anyone!"
Lu Congyuan's official position is promoted, and the uncle's title will be repeated for three generations. This is something that Gao has dreamed of!When Mother Che said this, Gao's heart became more and more moved, "I will discuss this matter with Ah Ning."
Mrs. Gao has always been the same in the Uncle Ankang Mansion. She said that she had discussed with Mrs. Gao, but she had already made up her mind. Madam Che sneered in her heart, madam, don't you want to get rid of me?Then I'll let you taste what it's like for a daughter to be a widow!
Mrs. Gao had already made up her mind, so when the little Mrs. Gao came to complain and asked Mrs. Gao to be the master, Mrs. Gao frowned and said, "A Ning, the Shen family is willing to marry Xinwan as the eldest grandson-in-law. This is a big deal. Good thing, why are you crying?"
Xiao Gao looked at Gao in disbelief, "Auntie, haven't you heard about Mr. Shen being abolished? If Xin Wan married, she would be a widow for the rest of her life!"
"If Mr. Shen is intact, will such good things come to our Uncle Ankang's mansion?" The Gao family is still very self-aware of this, "If Xin Wan married in the past, Cong Yuan's official position can be promoted, and uncle's The title can be inherited for three generations! No matter who will be the emperor in the future, our Ankang Mansion will have nothing to worry about! Besides being unable to have children, Xinwan will enjoy glory and wealth forever. Tell me, what’s wrong with this?"
"Auntie!" Xiao Gao couldn't believe her ears, "Are you trying to push Xinwan into the fire pit in exchange for the wealth of Uncle Ankang's mansion? Xinwan is not only your own granddaughter, but also your grandniece! How can you be so cruel?"
"Shut up!" Gao said angrily, "As the daughter of the Bofu, Xinwan has been pampered since childhood, shouldn't she contribute to the future of the Bofu?"
Xiao Gao realized that the words were indiscriminate just now, and immediately lowered her voice, "Auntie, my niece was agitated just now and said something wrong, don't take it to heart! That's not what my niece meant. In order for her to fulfill her responsibilities as a daughter of the uncle's mansion, so that her husband's family can become the support of the uncle's mansion! But Xinwan came out of the belly of my niece, and my niece doesn't want her to be a widow for the rest of her life."
Seeing that her attitude was low, Mrs. Gao's tone became better, "Why don't I think like you? I hope Xinwan can marry a good and powerful family! But after these two years, you have also seen that the third-rank and above No one from a wealthy family, or a powerful family, wants to deal with our Ankangbo mansion! By then, Xinwan will at most marry a fourth-rank man, so what good will it do for our Ankangbo mansion? Now that the Shen family has thrown an olive branch, after this There is no such store in the village, so I can only feel sorry for Xinwan, and I will definitely have her dowry at that time!"
Seeing that her begging was useless, Xiao Gao shook her head, "Auntie, my niece has to be Xinwan, and my niece will never agree to it no matter what!"
Seeing that her persuasion was ineffective, Gao snorted coldly, "If you don't agree, you have to agree. I have the final say on this matter!"
The two aunts and nephews have been fighting secretly for the past two or three years, and it is the first time that they broke up openly.
When Lu Xinwan learned that because of Lu Xinyan, she was about to marry Shen Qingzhu, a useless person, she pulled Lu Xinhan and ran to Huanxiyuan to settle accounts with Lu Xinyan regardless of the date.
The two daughters of Xing Luo Xiazhi stopped him from the door, and Lu Xinwan yelled and scolded outside, "Lu Xinyan, you shameless, useless man you hooked up with yourself, why should you push it on me in the end? If you want to marry, you can marry yourself. I will definitely not marry, and I will not marry even if I die!"
Qingtong said inside: "Miss, I will send them away."
"No need." Lu Xinyan stopped her, walked out of the house, walked to the gate of the courtyard, looked at Lu Xinwan with a half-smile and said: "I don't want to marry, so I push it on your head, if you don't want to marry, you can push it on someone else's head what!"
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lu Xinhan who had been watching the show, Lu Xinhan was startled, and then her face changed drastically, "Second sister, don't listen to her nonsense!"
Lu Xinwan stared blankly at Lu Xinyan, "What do you mean?"
Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows, and then took another look at Lu Xinhan.
Lu Xinwan followed her gaze, and when she saw Lu Xinhan with a pretty face, she suddenly understood, "Yes, I don't want to marry, so I can find someone to marry for me! Xinhan, you marry me!"
Lu Xinhan said anxiously: "Second sister, the one Mr. Shen is asking to marry is the second daughter of the Lu family, I... how can I replace you?"
Lu Xinwan couldn't help looking at Lu Xinyan, as if she wanted to ask her what to do, Lu Xinyan said leisurely: "Who is the second daughter of the concubine, it is not our Ankang Manor who has the final say!"
"That's right!" Lu Xinwan said loudly, "I'm only five months older than you, and I don't know who is older if you don't tell anyone else! I will immediately ask Auntie to adopt you as my daughter-in-law, so that you can replace me. Married!"
"No, don't, I don't want it!" Lu Xinhan was so panicked for the first time, because she knew that if Lu Xinwan said it, Xiao Gao could do it! "Second sister, I don't want it, please!"
If Lu Xinwan had said before that Xiao Gao would adopt her to become a daughter-in-law, Lu Xinhan would not have been happy in time, but in this situation, she would rather be a daughter-in-law for the rest of her life than a daughter-in-law married on behalf of her, marrying and staying widowed for the rest of her life!
"That's it!" Lu Xinwan said decisively, "I'm going to find Aunt now!"
After Lu Xinwan finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and quickly ran towards Jinse Courtyard. Lu Xinhan didn't even have time to stare at Lu Xinyan, so she quickly chased after her, "No! Second sister, stop, listen to me..."
Seeing that Lu Xinwan and the others came and went in a hurry, Qing Tong couldn't help giving her thumbs up, "Miss, your two tricks of diverting people from one another are really clever! First, make Mr. Shen propose marriage to the second lady, and then let the second and third misses bite dogs! so amazing!"
There was a sneer on Lu Xinyan's lips, "This time I won't be as passive as I was in the Hou's Mansion. I will get back the hardships my mother and I have suffered before!"
-
In the eastern district of the capital, in a hidden house.
Grain merchant Wan Jin came, and after receiving the letter from Fei Ge, Yuanyuan showed a proud smile on his face.
He walked through the corridor and came to a courtyard in the north, knocked on one of the doors, "Master, are you there?"
"Come in." A gentle male voice said.
"Master, good news, all the shops of the Lin Family Grain Shop have been acquired!" Through the screen, Wan Jinlai excitedly waved the note in his hand.
"Great!" The joy in the man's voice was obvious.
Wan Jinlai beamed and said: "Master, the other party proposed to increase the price by [-]%. This subordinate agrees to avoid long nights and dreams! This subordinate has calculated an account, and now the late rice harvest in the central part of the south is not long. Three-thirds of the grain shops are in the hands of the master. As long as the cost is lowered by one cent when buying grain from the grain farmers, and the price is raised by one cent when selling it, the extra tenth will be paid quickly. You can earn it back, so the subordinates did not discuss it with you, but the master agreed!"
"Since my son entrusts you with the full power to take care of the food, it is trust in you. As long as you think it is right, go ahead and do it!" The man praised: "Soldiers are expensive, and shopping malls are like battlefields. , you can seize this business opportunity and act decisively, well done!"
Wan Jinlai couldn't help but say, "Thank you, master, for the compliment!"
At the same time, Lu Xinyan received a letter from Mr. Li. After reading it, she curled her lips and put the note into the lamp, watching it burn slowly.
"Miss, is it done?" Qingtong couldn't help asking.
"It's done, the other party bought all my grain stores at a price that was [-]% higher." The light in Lu Xinyan's eyes was brighter than that of the lights, "Tomorrow, the show will begin."
"By the way miss, last night I asked Xing Luo to look around the house, and Xing Luo discovered something." Qing Tong said.
Lu Xinyan asked casually, "What's the matter?"
Qingtong looked at Lu Xinyan, her eyes were a bit complicated, she said slowly: "There is no madam's tablet in the ancestral hall."
The wife she was talking about was Lu Xinyan's mother Lin Ruyue.
Hearing this, Lu Xinyan couldn't help frowning, "How could this be?"
No wonder Lu Congyuan's face became so ugly yesterday when she proposed to go to the ancestral hall to offer incense to Lin Ruyue!
It turned out not only that the rules of the Ankangbo Mansion did not allow her to enter, but also because there was no memorial tablet for Lin Ruyue in the ancestral hall!
Lin Ruyue is the married wife of Lu Congyuan's Mingmei matchmaker. Xiao Gao's death as his stepmother can have no tablet, but Lin Ruyue shouldn't have one. Why is it like this?
Could it be that Gao actually hated Lin Ruyue to such an extent?But if he hated her so much, why didn't he just let Lu Cong divorce her?Or like Aunt Feng or Jiang Shi, who kept framing Lu Xinyan for the dowry, made Miyata Yu cuckold, tried their best to divorce Lin Ruyue, and took her dowry?
The original owner, Lu Xinyan, was already thirteen when she left the uncle's mansion. She said she was big or small, but she understood many things. In her impression, no matter how Gao and Xiao Gao bullied Lin Ruyue, they never gave Lin Ruyue the crown. Put on the hat of adultery!
Could it be that because Lin Ruyue let him take away all the dowry, Gao was resentful and asked Lu Congyuan to remove Lin Ruyue's tablet?
"Could it be Madam who doesn't want to?" Qingtong guessed.
Lu Xinyan shook her head, "Auntie was born in a merchant family. Although she has extraordinary vision and insight, it is unmatched by ordinary women! But she is still a traditional woman. Otherwise, it would not be because Gao is her mother-in-law and Lu Congyuan is her husband-in-law, and because Care about my future, I have been humiliated in this Ankangbo mansion and will not leave."
"Then it can only be one of the old lady, master, and Aunt Gao." Qingtong said bitterly.
"Aunt Gao doesn't have this ability, it can only be Gao Shi and Lu Congyuan!" Lu Xinyan sneered, "I don't care for my mother enjoying the fireworks in the Ankang Mansion, but I don't care for it. It's the same thing. Not giving it is another matter! I must find a way to get A Niang's tablet, and let Lu Congyuan welcome her in with dignity! When I can leave one day, I will take my mother out of this dirty place!"
-
On the second day after the grain shop under the name of Lu Xinyan of Wu Kingdom was acquired, all the shopkeepers, accountants, and key staff resigned collectively.
When Wan Jin came to the Wan's Grain Company, the people in charge of the purchase from all over the place were shocked, and they all tried to persuade them to stay, saying that the conditions were easy to negotiate.
The shopkeeper of the Lin Family Grain Shop said with a bitter face: "You don't know about the new owner. Ten days ago, I signed an agreement with the old owner. If the grain shop changes owners, I must resign, otherwise I will have to pay 50 years of compensation. moon silver!"
The other party obviously didn't believe it, and snorted coldly: "You will also sign this kind of treaty?"
"If I didn't sign it at the time, my old employer asked me to find another job! But if I signed it, one day the grain shop changed owners, and after I resigned according to the contract, the old owner would reschedule a new job according to the terms of the contract. Give me my current position and monthly bank job! In this case, how can I not sign it?" The shopkeeper spread his hands, "New boss, if you want to keep me, you can only pay me 50 years of monthly payment. Silver, about... not a lot, plus the monthly bonus every year, about 2000 taels!"
2000 taels?Enough to buy dozens of grain shops!
The shopkeeper, accountant, and key staff of the original Lin's Grain Shop all took out the contracts signed ten days ago, and the people from Wan's Grain Shop had to let them go.
After Wan Jinlai received the news, he showed disdain on his face, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Temporarily divide half of our grain shop guys into Lin's grain shop. At the same time, we are urgently recruiting people for the grain store! Our Wanshi grain shop has always been operating steadily, as long as there are people in the store, the poor service will not affect much!"
With this little trick, do you think you can bring him down?It's so ridiculous!So experienced in doing business with ten thousand gold, he didn't take such trivial matters to heart at all!
Immediately after that afternoon, not far from all the Lin family's grain shops, a new grain shop appeared one after another, with the same name as the original ones, such as Liu's grain shop, Li's grain shop, Zhang's grain shop... The guy is still the same guy!
At the same time, the Xinlin Family Grain Shop specially asked people to distribute leaflets in the streets and alleys, announcing that the grain shop had moved to a new address, that there were not one old customers missing, but also many new customers.
Why is this so?Because the newly opened grain shop is holding an event: buy five get one free, buy five catties get one catty free, buy five bags get one free!
Food is the foundation of the people, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has always been very strict with food prices. They can drop prices, or increase prices by more than one cent, but they have to go through strict audits!
However, the profit of grain is not high, so the price has been very stable.
After Wan's Grain Shop purchased all the Lin Family Grain Stores at a high price, it originally planned to slightly increase the price to make up for the loss. As a result, they not only opened a new Grain Shop that day, but also organized a similar [-]% price reduction event as soon as they came.
This is an unprecedented low price!
This time, the whole city was a sensation, crazily grabbing food!
Of course, it was the food from the Xinlin Family Grain Shop!
Unexpectedly, that yellow-haired girl has two points of ability, but unfortunately, Jiang is still old and spicy!After Wan Jinlai received the news, he remained calm and said coldly, "I have collected all the surplus grain from the grain farmers this year. I think they have no grain. What are they going to sell?"
The subordinates were crying, "The master, the food in the hands of the grain farmers has been bought by the other party!"
"What?" Wan Jinlai finally changed his expression, "Why is this happening?"
The subordinate said: "As soon as the other party's grain store opened, the subordinates felt that something was wrong, so they immediately contacted the grain farmer, but the grain farmer said that they had signed a contract with him, and every year from now on, the grain would belong to the other party!"
"Then raise the purchase price, increase by one point if it doesn't work, increase it by three points, and increase it by three points if it doesn't work, increase it by five points! Those food farmers are all for money, I don't believe that they can't buy it!" Wan Jinlai roared.
He who has not stumbled in the mall for a long time, how can he be convinced when he loses to a yellow-haired girl whom he doesn't care about?No matter how much wronged money he spends, he will get it back!
"The boss, the other party signed an agreement with the grain farmers at a higher price, and promised that if they don't take the grain away within two months, the grain farmers can dispose of the grain in their hands, otherwise...otherwise they will have to pay three times the compensation!"
"Three times?! Pfft!" Wan Jinlai spat out old blood on the spot and passed out.
The subordinate hurriedly said: "Big boss! Big boss! You can't be dizzy at this time. We have bought so many grain stores now, and we don't have much grain in hand. Every day we open the door is an expense, and we are losing money every day. Hundreds of shops together lose hundreds of taels of money every day, so you have to explain what to do first! Big boss... big boss..."
After Wan Jinlai was rescued by the doctor, he dragged his disabled body to the house.
The man behind the screen heard that Wan Jinlai wanted to see him, so he immediately put down his work and brought Wan Jinlai in immediately.
He asked kindly, "Jin Lai, but do you have any good news to report?"
Wan Jinlai trembled all over, his knees involuntarily softened, he knelt on the ground, and cried bitterly, "I'm sorry, master! This subordinate messed up this matter!"
"Do it. Smash it?" The man didn't seem to believe it, and asked very slowly word by word.
Wan Jinlai did not dare to conceal what happened at the Lin Family Grain Shop, so he told it in detail.
The voice fell behind, and the room was eerily silent and cold.
The air seemed to freeze, and the sound of the burning wick crackled in my ears, like the fire of hell burning.
The sweat dripped from Wan Jinlai's forehead, drop by drop, and fell to the floor, reflecting his pale face.
He heard the sound of his own heartbeat, gradually accelerating and accelerating, as if it would jump out of his chest in the next second.
Just when Wan Jinlai was about to be unable to bear the torment, the man finally spoke, his voice was so calm as if nothing had happened, "You said that your ancestors have been in business for five generations, you have been in business for more than 20 years, and you have bought countless grain shops , There has never been anything wrong! You said that you guarantee that this acquisition will be foolproof! You said that you are just a little girl with yellow hair. Even if you started doing business from the womb, it has only been a dozen years. You are confident that you will definitely win this acquisition! City! What happened?"
At this moment, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, and the lights swayed for a while, Wan Jinlai shivered, and a bone-chilling chill hit his whole body.
He didn't dare to stretch out his hand, but he could feel his neck covered in cold sweat, "Master, I'm sorry, it was my subordinate's carelessness that made me fall for that yellow-haired girl!"
"Careless? My son has repeatedly reminded you of the importance of mastering the Tianwu Grain Shop. How dare you be careless? Yellow-haired girl? At this time, you still dare to call the other party a yellow-haired girl? It is this yellow-haired girl you look down on, who will give you a hard blow , Let you know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people!"
The man's voice was still calm, but Ren Sui could hear the anger in his voice.
Wan Jinlai didn't dare to refute any more, and leaned down, "Master, please give this subordinate another chance to save me!"
"No chance." After the man murmured these words, before Wan Jinlai had time to react, a black shadow appeared out of nowhere and stabbed him in the chest with a sword.
The sword pierced straight through the heart, Wan Jinlai didn't even have the time to cry out, and fell to the ground in an instant, blood gushing out, blooming enchantingly like flowers under his body.
The man looked at Wan Jinlai's body, and said coldly: "You know that you lost this round, not only the grain shop, not just the silver, but the capital of the world! I spent countless hours In the past few years, I have only mastered nearly half of Tianwu's grain business, but in the end, you lost all games with one bad move! If I don't kill you, how can I save my lord's grievances?"
"My lord, what should we do next?" the man in black asked.
"Sell all the food stores quickly!" the man said in a deep voice.
The man in black seemed to be unable to bear it, "Master, you have spent countless efforts on this..."
"Abandon the car to protect the handsome man! One arm has been poisoned by the poison, so the only way to cut it off is to prevent the poison from spreading! Nowadays, money is used everywhere, and the current grain store has become a bottomless pit, so we cannot let it affect my other sons. The plan! Now that the opportunity has been lost, then simply give up and plan again in the future!"
"This subordinate understands, this subordinate will do it right away!"
"Wan Jinlai's family members, kill them all, and leave no one behind!" The man's voice was cold, "I want everyone to know what will happen if I do things carelessly! This incident of grain transportation will never be allowed to happen again!"
"Yes!" The man in black responded again.
"Call all the big bosses in the capital, come here tomorrow, and discuss how to deal with Lin's firm!" The man's still gentle voice revealed coldness, "I don't believe that so many experienced business leaders will not be able to deal with one of them!" Just Lu Xinyan!"
"Yes, Master!"
The next day, Wan's Grain Shop, which bought the Lin Family Grain Shop for a day, began to sell the shop, not only selling the purchased ones, but also selling its own grain shop at a discount of [-]%.
Grain shops generally don’t have a big facade, because there are few varieties, mainly because the warehouses are large, and there are not many industries suitable for them, so many people ask, most of them don’t have any details.
And other small grain merchants smelled the smoke of gunpowder, who dared to step forward?
The master only gave him three days to sell it at all costs. The person in charge of selling the shop lowered it again and again, until it finally dropped to [-]% of the reserve price given by the master, and there was still no one to patronize.
In the end, the people from the Lin family's grain store came out and expressed their willingness to buy it at [-]% of the price, not just one, but all the grain stores, including Wan's grain store!
While asking for instructions urgently, the person in charge of selling the shops held onto people and negotiated hard. You came and I fought several times, and finally bought all the hundreds of shops in the hands of Wan's Grain at [-]% of the original price. !
That sum of money happened to be the amount of money that Wan's Grain Bank bought Lin's Grain Bank back then, and there was still more!
A takeover battle that was thought to be a sure win, but at the cost of the purchaser paying all the grain stores, it finally came to an end!
This caused an uproar in that master's team, as well as the entire business world!
What is even more infuriating is that as soon as the grain store was in hand, the people from the former Lin family grain store returned to their old store one after another.
It turned out that the newly opened grain shops they opened were not rented out on a monthly basis, but on a temporary daily basis, at a daily rate twice as high as the monthly rent!
If it is a long-term lease, the doubled rent will make the Lin Family Food Store unable to sell, but if it is only a few days, it is really a big profit!
The man far away in the capital was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard the news.
If he holds back the loss and insists on it for another month, it is still unknown who will win at that time!
But the huge loss of hundreds of taels a day made him panic all of a sudden, and he immediately decided to cut off his arms and stop the loss, which was what Lu Xinyan said!
This trip only took a few days, and Lu Xinyan easily earned hundreds of shops. What's more, now three-quarters of the grain shops in the country are all in her hands!
Mr. Li was so excited that he praised Lu Xinyan in his letter, making no secret of his admiration for Lu Xinyan's business ability.
Lu Xinyan looked at the letter, and burned the letter without expression. There was nothing to be surprised about, as expected!
At the same time, Qi Fei also learned about the wonderful acquisition and anti-acquisition battle between Wan's Grain Company and Lin's Grain Shop, including the process of Lu Xinyan finally posing with the people behind the scenes. Feeling agitated, he immediately wrote Write it down, and use Zhuquetang's special communication channel to deliver the letter to Xiao Yichen immediately.
At this time, Xiao Yichen was braving the heavy rain, and with [-] soldiers, he had just arrived at the southwest border, and there were still about three days before the battlefield.
After reading the letter, he who was slightly tired showed a smile on his usually cold face.
That woman, fought a good fight!Next, it's up to him!
Xiao Yichen was full of enthusiasm, and he waved his arms: "Soldiers! Old General Li and his brothers are looking forward to the arrival of the army! There are still three days at most, all the soldiers hold on! Let's go with all our strength!"
"Yes, General!" Qi Shuhua replied loudly, shaking the world, and startled the beasts in the forest on both sides that were about to enter hibernation and fled in all directions.
(End of this chapter)
Xiao Gao didn't expect that, with his own words of support, he would actually lead the fire to Lu Xinwan!
In the previous marriage proposal, she still had an excuse that she couldn't be Lu Xinyan's master, but Lu Xinwan is her own daughter, how could she not be the master?
But how could she just helplessly push her daughter into the fire pit and be a widow for the rest of her life?
what to do?Now how to do?Xiao Gao was so anxious that he didn't know what to do!
"Aunt Gao, Mr. Shen is still waiting for your reply? Have you thought about it for so long, is it because you don't like the disciples of the Shen family, or do you think Mr. Shen... can't do it, so you don't like him?" Lu Xinyan added fuel to the side.
"Mrs. Ankang! I, Shen Qingzhu, are here today. If your family does not agree to my Shen family's marriage proposal, it will be an enemy of my Shen family, of scholars, and of all students in the world! You have to weigh it yourself." Weigh it! Three days later, when I come to the door again, I hope to hear a satisfactory answer!" After Shen Qingzhu said a harsh word, she shook her sleeves and left.
Xiao Gao rolled his eyes and passed out.
When Matchmaker Liu saw this, she was afraid of killing someone and getting into trouble or a lawsuit, so she didn't dare to stay for long, so she said goodbye with a smile, and left quickly.
Lu Xinyan glanced at Xiao Gao who was being helped up by the anxious Nanny Ling, shook her head and left, she didn't expect Xiao Gao to be so careless!If you say dizzy, you will be dizzy!
Shen Qingzhu left Ankangbo Mansion angrily, and asked the coachman to detour to Yicuilou, intending to find someone to vent his anger.
As soon as he got out of the carriage and walked to the door, he collided with someone, causing his shoulder to hurt.
The two yelled at the same time, "Which bastard doesn't have eyes when he walks?"
After yelling, he realized that the other party's voice sounded familiar, so he took a closer look and exclaimed at the same time, "Brother Shen?" "Ting Yu?"
The person who bumped into Shen Qingzhu was a 17-year-old young man, dressed in purple costumes, with handsome features. He was Kong Tingyu, the eldest grandson of Kong Zhiren, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, nephew of Concubine Kong Shu, and cousin of the fourth prince Wu Yun. Kong Xinwen, the left servant of the father's household department, came back from Yanxi for disaster relief.
Most of the children of the Kong family work in the household department. At a young age, Kong Tingyu is already the head of the sixth-rank household department. For the best!
With his grandfather and father escorting his official career, his future is limitless. The young Kong Tingyu is full of ambition and high spirits. The year-old Shen Qingzhu hit it off at the first sight, and they talked very happily.
Kong Tingyu said happily: "Brother Shen, you also go to the brothel, let's go together! I heard that there is a new batch of girls here in Yicuilou, all of them are pretty, Brother Shen is very knowledgeable and good-looking, help me to palm my eyes , choose the one you like, and my younger brother will be the master!"
He just came back yesterday, and he hasn't heard the latest rumors about Jingzhong, and he doesn't know about Shen Qingzhu's dismissal.
Shen Qingzhu's face froze, and she quickly returned to normal, "Tingyu, you just came back from Yanxi, and it's been a hard journey, so it's my elder brother who will be the host!"
Kong Tingyu smiled heartily, "Hahaha, since that's the case, I won't be too polite, brother Shen will be the host today, and brother Shen will be the host another day! Brother Shen, please!"
"Tingyu, please!"
The two of them went in together, and Yicuilou's mother couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and immediately arranged for the room without waiting for orders, and personally picked out a few of the most outstanding new girls.
The new girls are all charming and beautiful, seeing their mothers are so fancy, they know that they must be sons of noble families in the middle of the capital, and they all try their best.
The girls are new here, and they have never seen Shen Qingzhu's perverted methods. Seeing that he is as handsome as a bamboo, with outstanding demeanor, a few of them who fell in love with him leaned on his side, whispering softly and winking.
The other few saw Kong Tingyu's handsome young man, and his funny words, they were all happy and rushed to flatter him.
Shen Qingzhu was so excited physically and mentally, thinking of the invincibility in the past, compared with the powerlessness of the present, this made the violent spirit in his heart more and more serious. If Kong Tingyu was not there, he would have hit two girls casually, and began to vent his heart. I'm angry.
But now that Kong Tingyu is here, he can only endure it, show a modest smile, and deal with those girls.
However, her thoughts drifted to Lu Xinyan, the chief culprit who caused him such a thing.
Thinking of this, he thought of the matter of asking for marriage just now, and now he understood that he was put on by Lu Xinyan.
However, the proposal to marry Miss Lu has already been released, and he will not change his mouth. As for Lu Xinyan, he will not let it go, and he must find another way to deal with it!
"Master Shen, come, I'll give you a drink." The seductive woman in her arms showed half of her wrist, raised her slender hand, and brought a glass of wine to his lips.
Shen Qingzhu smiled slightly, drank the wine in the glass along her hand, and frivolously licked her fingers.
The woman giggled coquettishly, her voice was crisp and flattering, "I hate it~"
The unique voice made Kong Tingyu who was opposite him couldn't help but look over.
Shen Qingzhu suddenly had a thought, and said lightly: "Everyone go out first."
The few women didn't understand why they were asked to go out suddenly, but they were all trained people, they got up one after another, quietly left the room without saying a word, and closed the door behind them.
Kong Tingyu looked at those slender figures going away, and swallowed frequently, "Brother Shen, just now those younger brothers thought it was pretty good, didn't Brother Shen look down on any of them? Compared with the women in the brothels along the west side of the capital, they are really inferior." It's too far away, and the little brother has no interest at all, and daddy is strict, but the little brother hasn't tasted a woman for a long time."
Shen Qingzhu smiled mysteriously, "Tingyu, do you trust Brother Shen's taste?"
Kong Tingyu laughed out loud, and only men could understand the deep meaning in it, "Of course I believe it. Brother Shen's introductions before are all top quality."
"If you talk about the best, the best in the world is not the brothel girl, but..." Shen Qingzhu deliberately kept it a secret.
Kong Tingyu said anxiously: "Brother Shen, don't be fooled, just say it!"
Shen Qingzhu lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious and said: "Naturally, those women in the deep boudoir who cannot be satisfied."
Kong Tingyu stepped down his shoulders with some disappointment, "Brother Shen, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I'm not married yet. If my grandfather knows that my younger brother is now ambiguous with those women, which affects my marriage, grandpa and father still don't want to marry me." With Concubine Shu, I will not let my little brother go!"
The disciples of the high school seem to have unlimited scenery, but in fact they are also subject to many restrictions.
For example, Kong Tingyu, Kong Zhiren and Kong Xinwen were very strict in order to be able to marry a family in the capital, and the family had to have one room.
Kong Tingyu was at the age when he was interested in women. Although the Tongfang had caught his eye, he would get tired of eating too much delicious braised pork. He was not allowed to accept the Tongfang at home, forcing him to go out seek development.
Although the reputation will also be damaged, the thinking of people in this era is: it is a romantic affair for a man to go to a brothel occasionally, and it is harmless, because there will be no sequelae!However, if there are many houses in the family before marriage, firstly, it is easy for the regular wife to fail to come to the house, and concubines and concubine daughters will be born.
Therefore, when many rich families choose a son-in-law for their daughter, the number of houses the man has in his home before marriage is one of the important considerations. One or two connecting rooms are the most reassuring.
As for being entangled with a married woman, that is even more disdainful than having countless rooms in the house!Because that has touched the bottom line of morality!
Shen Qingzhu also came from a family, so she understood Kong Tingyu's worries and worries, "Tingyu, how could I not understand your difficulties? But since I said it, there are naturally candidates who will not affect your marriage."
Hearing what he said, Kong Tingyu became interested, "Who is it?"
"Miss Lu Xinyan from the Ankangbo Mansion who came back to the mansion the day before yesterday." Shen Qingzhu showed a strange smile on his face, "You are not in Beijing. There are some things you don't know. The prince, Xiao Shizi, Gongsun Gongzi and others are not clear, Guangping Marquis originally wanted to divorce her, but because of the identities of the three of them, they ended up reconciling and leaving her."
"Third Prince, Xiao Shizi, Gongsun Gongzi!?" Kong Tingyu stared wide-eyed, "Where is that woman so sacred that she can make three people's hearts move at the same time?"
Shen Qingzhu then praised Lu Xinyan's appearance and style, and finally said: "Tingyu, with your appearance and family background, as long as you are willing to throw an olive branch, Miss Lu will definitely throw you in my arms! She used to be Married woman, now you are waiting to be married, if you don't make a good thing, it's useless to play, and you don't have to worry about causing trouble to your upper body."
Kong Tingyu was heartbroken and puzzled, "Brother Shen, such a good candidate, why did you..."
In his impression, Shen Qingzhu's fondness for sex is even worse than him, especially those married women, whom Shen Qingzhu loves the most. Now that there is such a beautiful woman there, Shen Qingzhu Why not?
Shen Qingzhu sighed, "Tingyu, you have been away for a few months, and there are some things you don't know."
Kong Tingyu said: "I would like to hear the details."
"Your sister-in-law Shen and I have reconciled a few days ago because of our disagreement, and when a servant was serving me, he accidentally poured hot water on my lap, so people with bad intentions from the outside world accused me I have lost my masculinity, that's why your sister-in-law left me! I couldn't justify all this, so I had to acquiesce. But my grandfather couldn't bear my being wronged, so he ordered me to go to Ankangbo Mansion to marry Second Miss Lu. Once everything is done, Miss Lu has become my sister-in-law, how can I show my affection to her now?"
After Kong Tingyu heard this, he sympathized and said: "It's all because Brother Shen is too good and makes people jealous, so such rumors spread! Brother Shen, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person, and I won't believe those nonsense! If someone says it in front of my younger brother, my younger brother will definitely reprimand me!"
Shen Qingzhu was overjoyed in his heart, and said gratefully on his face: "Thank you Tingyu for your trust!"
Kong Tingyu said: "Brother Shen, Miss Lu is now out of the gate, how can I meet her?"
Shen Qingzhu said: "It's simple, let Ms. Kong hold a flower viewing banquet and invite the ladies from all families to participate. Isn't it enough to have a chance encounter at that time?"
Kong Tingyu chuckled, "Brother Shen still has an idea, I will ask my sister to write a post after my younger brother returns! But those beauties just now..."
"There are two that I think are good," Shen Qingzhu roughly said with a face in clothes.
"As Brother Shen said, you and I will be alone." He was about to call someone in, Shen Qingzhu said: "I came out today by the order of my grandfather, I have to go back and report to my grandfather."
"Then elder brother Shen, go slowly, younger brother will not hinder you from doing business." Kong Tingyu was anxious to do business with the beauty, so he didn't want to keep her.
Shen Qingzhu left contentedly.
When Kong Tingyu saw Lu Xinyan and was attracted by her beauty, he urged Kong Tingyu to pretend to go to the Ankangbo Mansion to propose a marriage. He took this opportunity to seize the secret of Lu Xinyan and Kong Tingyu's secret exchange, and then he was afraid that she would not let him do whatever he wanted?
Shen Qingzhu thought viciously: Lu Xinyan, you wait, I won't play with you and your surname to death!
In Uncle Ankang's mansion, as soon as little Gao woke up, she ran to Gao and cried, "Auntie, you have to make up your mind for Xinwan!"
Mrs. Gao already knew about this matter, and she was very angry at first, but under the persuasion of Madam Che, she slowly returned to calm.
Madam Che said, "Old lady, this Shen family is not an ordinary family. Mr. Shen is a contemporary literary figure, the leader of scholars, and the entire Tianwu Kingdom students look up to him! Standing in the wrong team, the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, and if he fails, he will be killed all over the house. Which of the dynasties is not like this? But if he joins the Shen family, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne in the future, he must respect and respect the Shen family. The in-laws of the family will be valued by the new emperor, so this Shen family is an excellent life-saving talisman!"
When Gao heard this, she felt that it was reasonable, but after all, Lu Xinwan was her beloved granddaughter, so she couldn't bear to send her to be a widow! "But Mr. Shen heard that he was already inhumane, and wanted me to push Xinwan into the fire pit with my own hands..."
Mother Che said: "Old Madam, the Shen family has a high reputation, maybe some people are secretly fabricating rumors about Mr. Shen in order to damage the prestige of the Shen family! Besides, if Mr. Shen really has a secret illness, the second young lady will marry him." After the past, the Shen family felt ashamed of the second lady, and would definitely find a way to make it up to our Uncle Ankang's mansion. The position of the uncle might be promoted, and the title of the uncle might be repeated again. Three generations! Although it is a little wronged by the second lady, but as the young lady of the uncle's mansion, the second lady has to sacrifice for the future of the uncle's mansion to enjoy the wealth of the uncle's mansion! Except for that matter, the servant believes that after the second lady is married, she will live a happy life. better than anyone!"
Lu Congyuan's official position is promoted, and the uncle's title will be repeated for three generations. This is something that Gao has dreamed of!When Mother Che said this, Gao's heart became more and more moved, "I will discuss this matter with Ah Ning."
Mrs. Gao has always been the same in the Uncle Ankang Mansion. She said that she had discussed with Mrs. Gao, but she had already made up her mind. Madam Che sneered in her heart, madam, don't you want to get rid of me?Then I'll let you taste what it's like for a daughter to be a widow!
Mrs. Gao had already made up her mind, so when the little Mrs. Gao came to complain and asked Mrs. Gao to be the master, Mrs. Gao frowned and said, "A Ning, the Shen family is willing to marry Xinwan as the eldest grandson-in-law. This is a big deal. Good thing, why are you crying?"
Xiao Gao looked at Gao in disbelief, "Auntie, haven't you heard about Mr. Shen being abolished? If Xin Wan married, she would be a widow for the rest of her life!"
"If Mr. Shen is intact, will such good things come to our Uncle Ankang's mansion?" The Gao family is still very self-aware of this, "If Xin Wan married in the past, Cong Yuan's official position can be promoted, and uncle's The title can be inherited for three generations! No matter who will be the emperor in the future, our Ankang Mansion will have nothing to worry about! Besides being unable to have children, Xinwan will enjoy glory and wealth forever. Tell me, what’s wrong with this?"
"Auntie!" Xiao Gao couldn't believe her ears, "Are you trying to push Xinwan into the fire pit in exchange for the wealth of Uncle Ankang's mansion? Xinwan is not only your own granddaughter, but also your grandniece! How can you be so cruel?"
"Shut up!" Gao said angrily, "As the daughter of the Bofu, Xinwan has been pampered since childhood, shouldn't she contribute to the future of the Bofu?"
Xiao Gao realized that the words were indiscriminate just now, and immediately lowered her voice, "Auntie, my niece was agitated just now and said something wrong, don't take it to heart! That's not what my niece meant. In order for her to fulfill her responsibilities as a daughter of the uncle's mansion, so that her husband's family can become the support of the uncle's mansion! But Xinwan came out of the belly of my niece, and my niece doesn't want her to be a widow for the rest of her life."
Seeing that her attitude was low, Mrs. Gao's tone became better, "Why don't I think like you? I hope Xinwan can marry a good and powerful family! But after these two years, you have also seen that the third-rank and above No one from a wealthy family, or a powerful family, wants to deal with our Ankangbo mansion! By then, Xinwan will at most marry a fourth-rank man, so what good will it do for our Ankangbo mansion? Now that the Shen family has thrown an olive branch, after this There is no such store in the village, so I can only feel sorry for Xinwan, and I will definitely have her dowry at that time!"
Seeing that her begging was useless, Xiao Gao shook her head, "Auntie, my niece has to be Xinwan, and my niece will never agree to it no matter what!"
Seeing that her persuasion was ineffective, Gao snorted coldly, "If you don't agree, you have to agree. I have the final say on this matter!"
The two aunts and nephews have been fighting secretly for the past two or three years, and it is the first time that they broke up openly.
When Lu Xinwan learned that because of Lu Xinyan, she was about to marry Shen Qingzhu, a useless person, she pulled Lu Xinhan and ran to Huanxiyuan to settle accounts with Lu Xinyan regardless of the date.
The two daughters of Xing Luo Xiazhi stopped him from the door, and Lu Xinwan yelled and scolded outside, "Lu Xinyan, you shameless, useless man you hooked up with yourself, why should you push it on me in the end? If you want to marry, you can marry yourself. I will definitely not marry, and I will not marry even if I die!"
Qingtong said inside: "Miss, I will send them away."
"No need." Lu Xinyan stopped her, walked out of the house, walked to the gate of the courtyard, looked at Lu Xinwan with a half-smile and said: "I don't want to marry, so I push it on your head, if you don't want to marry, you can push it on someone else's head what!"
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lu Xinhan who had been watching the show, Lu Xinhan was startled, and then her face changed drastically, "Second sister, don't listen to her nonsense!"
Lu Xinwan stared blankly at Lu Xinyan, "What do you mean?"
Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows, and then took another look at Lu Xinhan.
Lu Xinwan followed her gaze, and when she saw Lu Xinhan with a pretty face, she suddenly understood, "Yes, I don't want to marry, so I can find someone to marry for me! Xinhan, you marry me!"
Lu Xinhan said anxiously: "Second sister, the one Mr. Shen is asking to marry is the second daughter of the Lu family, I... how can I replace you?"
Lu Xinwan couldn't help looking at Lu Xinyan, as if she wanted to ask her what to do, Lu Xinyan said leisurely: "Who is the second daughter of the concubine, it is not our Ankang Manor who has the final say!"
"That's right!" Lu Xinwan said loudly, "I'm only five months older than you, and I don't know who is older if you don't tell anyone else! I will immediately ask Auntie to adopt you as my daughter-in-law, so that you can replace me. Married!"
"No, don't, I don't want it!" Lu Xinhan was so panicked for the first time, because she knew that if Lu Xinwan said it, Xiao Gao could do it! "Second sister, I don't want it, please!"
If Lu Xinwan had said before that Xiao Gao would adopt her to become a daughter-in-law, Lu Xinhan would not have been happy in time, but in this situation, she would rather be a daughter-in-law for the rest of her life than a daughter-in-law married on behalf of her, marrying and staying widowed for the rest of her life!
"That's it!" Lu Xinwan said decisively, "I'm going to find Aunt now!"
After Lu Xinwan finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and quickly ran towards Jinse Courtyard. Lu Xinhan didn't even have time to stare at Lu Xinyan, so she quickly chased after her, "No! Second sister, stop, listen to me..."
Seeing that Lu Xinwan and the others came and went in a hurry, Qing Tong couldn't help giving her thumbs up, "Miss, your two tricks of diverting people from one another are really clever! First, make Mr. Shen propose marriage to the second lady, and then let the second and third misses bite dogs! so amazing!"
There was a sneer on Lu Xinyan's lips, "This time I won't be as passive as I was in the Hou's Mansion. I will get back the hardships my mother and I have suffered before!"
-
In the eastern district of the capital, in a hidden house.
Grain merchant Wan Jin came, and after receiving the letter from Fei Ge, Yuanyuan showed a proud smile on his face.
He walked through the corridor and came to a courtyard in the north, knocked on one of the doors, "Master, are you there?"
"Come in." A gentle male voice said.
"Master, good news, all the shops of the Lin Family Grain Shop have been acquired!" Through the screen, Wan Jinlai excitedly waved the note in his hand.
"Great!" The joy in the man's voice was obvious.
Wan Jinlai beamed and said: "Master, the other party proposed to increase the price by [-]%. This subordinate agrees to avoid long nights and dreams! This subordinate has calculated an account, and now the late rice harvest in the central part of the south is not long. Three-thirds of the grain shops are in the hands of the master. As long as the cost is lowered by one cent when buying grain from the grain farmers, and the price is raised by one cent when selling it, the extra tenth will be paid quickly. You can earn it back, so the subordinates did not discuss it with you, but the master agreed!"
"Since my son entrusts you with the full power to take care of the food, it is trust in you. As long as you think it is right, go ahead and do it!" The man praised: "Soldiers are expensive, and shopping malls are like battlefields. , you can seize this business opportunity and act decisively, well done!"
Wan Jinlai couldn't help but say, "Thank you, master, for the compliment!"
At the same time, Lu Xinyan received a letter from Mr. Li. After reading it, she curled her lips and put the note into the lamp, watching it burn slowly.
"Miss, is it done?" Qingtong couldn't help asking.
"It's done, the other party bought all my grain stores at a price that was [-]% higher." The light in Lu Xinyan's eyes was brighter than that of the lights, "Tomorrow, the show will begin."
"By the way miss, last night I asked Xing Luo to look around the house, and Xing Luo discovered something." Qing Tong said.
Lu Xinyan asked casually, "What's the matter?"
Qingtong looked at Lu Xinyan, her eyes were a bit complicated, she said slowly: "There is no madam's tablet in the ancestral hall."
The wife she was talking about was Lu Xinyan's mother Lin Ruyue.
Hearing this, Lu Xinyan couldn't help frowning, "How could this be?"
No wonder Lu Congyuan's face became so ugly yesterday when she proposed to go to the ancestral hall to offer incense to Lin Ruyue!
It turned out not only that the rules of the Ankangbo Mansion did not allow her to enter, but also because there was no memorial tablet for Lin Ruyue in the ancestral hall!
Lin Ruyue is the married wife of Lu Congyuan's Mingmei matchmaker. Xiao Gao's death as his stepmother can have no tablet, but Lin Ruyue shouldn't have one. Why is it like this?
Could it be that Gao actually hated Lin Ruyue to such an extent?But if he hated her so much, why didn't he just let Lu Cong divorce her?Or like Aunt Feng or Jiang Shi, who kept framing Lu Xinyan for the dowry, made Miyata Yu cuckold, tried their best to divorce Lin Ruyue, and took her dowry?
The original owner, Lu Xinyan, was already thirteen when she left the uncle's mansion. She said she was big or small, but she understood many things. In her impression, no matter how Gao and Xiao Gao bullied Lin Ruyue, they never gave Lin Ruyue the crown. Put on the hat of adultery!
Could it be that because Lin Ruyue let him take away all the dowry, Gao was resentful and asked Lu Congyuan to remove Lin Ruyue's tablet?
"Could it be Madam who doesn't want to?" Qingtong guessed.
Lu Xinyan shook her head, "Auntie was born in a merchant family. Although she has extraordinary vision and insight, it is unmatched by ordinary women! But she is still a traditional woman. Otherwise, it would not be because Gao is her mother-in-law and Lu Congyuan is her husband-in-law, and because Care about my future, I have been humiliated in this Ankangbo mansion and will not leave."
"Then it can only be one of the old lady, master, and Aunt Gao." Qingtong said bitterly.
"Aunt Gao doesn't have this ability, it can only be Gao Shi and Lu Congyuan!" Lu Xinyan sneered, "I don't care for my mother enjoying the fireworks in the Ankang Mansion, but I don't care for it. It's the same thing. Not giving it is another matter! I must find a way to get A Niang's tablet, and let Lu Congyuan welcome her in with dignity! When I can leave one day, I will take my mother out of this dirty place!"
-
On the second day after the grain shop under the name of Lu Xinyan of Wu Kingdom was acquired, all the shopkeepers, accountants, and key staff resigned collectively.
When Wan Jin came to the Wan's Grain Company, the people in charge of the purchase from all over the place were shocked, and they all tried to persuade them to stay, saying that the conditions were easy to negotiate.
The shopkeeper of the Lin Family Grain Shop said with a bitter face: "You don't know about the new owner. Ten days ago, I signed an agreement with the old owner. If the grain shop changes owners, I must resign, otherwise I will have to pay 50 years of compensation. moon silver!"
The other party obviously didn't believe it, and snorted coldly: "You will also sign this kind of treaty?"
"If I didn't sign it at the time, my old employer asked me to find another job! But if I signed it, one day the grain shop changed owners, and after I resigned according to the contract, the old owner would reschedule a new job according to the terms of the contract. Give me my current position and monthly bank job! In this case, how can I not sign it?" The shopkeeper spread his hands, "New boss, if you want to keep me, you can only pay me 50 years of monthly payment. Silver, about... not a lot, plus the monthly bonus every year, about 2000 taels!"
2000 taels?Enough to buy dozens of grain shops!
The shopkeeper, accountant, and key staff of the original Lin's Grain Shop all took out the contracts signed ten days ago, and the people from Wan's Grain Shop had to let them go.
After Wan Jinlai received the news, he showed disdain on his face, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Temporarily divide half of our grain shop guys into Lin's grain shop. At the same time, we are urgently recruiting people for the grain store! Our Wanshi grain shop has always been operating steadily, as long as there are people in the store, the poor service will not affect much!"
With this little trick, do you think you can bring him down?It's so ridiculous!So experienced in doing business with ten thousand gold, he didn't take such trivial matters to heart at all!
Immediately after that afternoon, not far from all the Lin family's grain shops, a new grain shop appeared one after another, with the same name as the original ones, such as Liu's grain shop, Li's grain shop, Zhang's grain shop... The guy is still the same guy!
At the same time, the Xinlin Family Grain Shop specially asked people to distribute leaflets in the streets and alleys, announcing that the grain shop had moved to a new address, that there were not one old customers missing, but also many new customers.
Why is this so?Because the newly opened grain shop is holding an event: buy five get one free, buy five catties get one catty free, buy five bags get one free!
Food is the foundation of the people, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has always been very strict with food prices. They can drop prices, or increase prices by more than one cent, but they have to go through strict audits!
However, the profit of grain is not high, so the price has been very stable.
After Wan's Grain Shop purchased all the Lin Family Grain Stores at a high price, it originally planned to slightly increase the price to make up for the loss. As a result, they not only opened a new Grain Shop that day, but also organized a similar [-]% price reduction event as soon as they came.
This is an unprecedented low price!
This time, the whole city was a sensation, crazily grabbing food!
Of course, it was the food from the Xinlin Family Grain Shop!
Unexpectedly, that yellow-haired girl has two points of ability, but unfortunately, Jiang is still old and spicy!After Wan Jinlai received the news, he remained calm and said coldly, "I have collected all the surplus grain from the grain farmers this year. I think they have no grain. What are they going to sell?"
The subordinates were crying, "The master, the food in the hands of the grain farmers has been bought by the other party!"
"What?" Wan Jinlai finally changed his expression, "Why is this happening?"
The subordinate said: "As soon as the other party's grain store opened, the subordinates felt that something was wrong, so they immediately contacted the grain farmer, but the grain farmer said that they had signed a contract with him, and every year from now on, the grain would belong to the other party!"
"Then raise the purchase price, increase by one point if it doesn't work, increase it by three points, and increase it by three points if it doesn't work, increase it by five points! Those food farmers are all for money, I don't believe that they can't buy it!" Wan Jinlai roared.
He who has not stumbled in the mall for a long time, how can he be convinced when he loses to a yellow-haired girl whom he doesn't care about?No matter how much wronged money he spends, he will get it back!
"The boss, the other party signed an agreement with the grain farmers at a higher price, and promised that if they don't take the grain away within two months, the grain farmers can dispose of the grain in their hands, otherwise...otherwise they will have to pay three times the compensation!"
"Three times?! Pfft!" Wan Jinlai spat out old blood on the spot and passed out.
The subordinate hurriedly said: "Big boss! Big boss! You can't be dizzy at this time. We have bought so many grain stores now, and we don't have much grain in hand. Every day we open the door is an expense, and we are losing money every day. Hundreds of shops together lose hundreds of taels of money every day, so you have to explain what to do first! Big boss... big boss..."
After Wan Jinlai was rescued by the doctor, he dragged his disabled body to the house.
The man behind the screen heard that Wan Jinlai wanted to see him, so he immediately put down his work and brought Wan Jinlai in immediately.
He asked kindly, "Jin Lai, but do you have any good news to report?"
Wan Jinlai trembled all over, his knees involuntarily softened, he knelt on the ground, and cried bitterly, "I'm sorry, master! This subordinate messed up this matter!"
"Do it. Smash it?" The man didn't seem to believe it, and asked very slowly word by word.
Wan Jinlai did not dare to conceal what happened at the Lin Family Grain Shop, so he told it in detail.
The voice fell behind, and the room was eerily silent and cold.
The air seemed to freeze, and the sound of the burning wick crackled in my ears, like the fire of hell burning.
The sweat dripped from Wan Jinlai's forehead, drop by drop, and fell to the floor, reflecting his pale face.
He heard the sound of his own heartbeat, gradually accelerating and accelerating, as if it would jump out of his chest in the next second.
Just when Wan Jinlai was about to be unable to bear the torment, the man finally spoke, his voice was so calm as if nothing had happened, "You said that your ancestors have been in business for five generations, you have been in business for more than 20 years, and you have bought countless grain shops , There has never been anything wrong! You said that you guarantee that this acquisition will be foolproof! You said that you are just a little girl with yellow hair. Even if you started doing business from the womb, it has only been a dozen years. You are confident that you will definitely win this acquisition! City! What happened?"
At this moment, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, and the lights swayed for a while, Wan Jinlai shivered, and a bone-chilling chill hit his whole body.
He didn't dare to stretch out his hand, but he could feel his neck covered in cold sweat, "Master, I'm sorry, it was my subordinate's carelessness that made me fall for that yellow-haired girl!"
"Careless? My son has repeatedly reminded you of the importance of mastering the Tianwu Grain Shop. How dare you be careless? Yellow-haired girl? At this time, you still dare to call the other party a yellow-haired girl? It is this yellow-haired girl you look down on, who will give you a hard blow , Let you know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people!"
The man's voice was still calm, but Ren Sui could hear the anger in his voice.
Wan Jinlai didn't dare to refute any more, and leaned down, "Master, please give this subordinate another chance to save me!"
"No chance." After the man murmured these words, before Wan Jinlai had time to react, a black shadow appeared out of nowhere and stabbed him in the chest with a sword.
The sword pierced straight through the heart, Wan Jinlai didn't even have the time to cry out, and fell to the ground in an instant, blood gushing out, blooming enchantingly like flowers under his body.
The man looked at Wan Jinlai's body, and said coldly: "You know that you lost this round, not only the grain shop, not just the silver, but the capital of the world! I spent countless hours In the past few years, I have only mastered nearly half of Tianwu's grain business, but in the end, you lost all games with one bad move! If I don't kill you, how can I save my lord's grievances?"
"My lord, what should we do next?" the man in black asked.
"Sell all the food stores quickly!" the man said in a deep voice.
The man in black seemed to be unable to bear it, "Master, you have spent countless efforts on this..."
"Abandon the car to protect the handsome man! One arm has been poisoned by the poison, so the only way to cut it off is to prevent the poison from spreading! Nowadays, money is used everywhere, and the current grain store has become a bottomless pit, so we cannot let it affect my other sons. The plan! Now that the opportunity has been lost, then simply give up and plan again in the future!"
"This subordinate understands, this subordinate will do it right away!"
"Wan Jinlai's family members, kill them all, and leave no one behind!" The man's voice was cold, "I want everyone to know what will happen if I do things carelessly! This incident of grain transportation will never be allowed to happen again!"
"Yes!" The man in black responded again.
"Call all the big bosses in the capital, come here tomorrow, and discuss how to deal with Lin's firm!" The man's still gentle voice revealed coldness, "I don't believe that so many experienced business leaders will not be able to deal with one of them!" Just Lu Xinyan!"
"Yes, Master!"
The next day, Wan's Grain Shop, which bought the Lin Family Grain Shop for a day, began to sell the shop, not only selling the purchased ones, but also selling its own grain shop at a discount of [-]%.
Grain shops generally don’t have a big facade, because there are few varieties, mainly because the warehouses are large, and there are not many industries suitable for them, so many people ask, most of them don’t have any details.
And other small grain merchants smelled the smoke of gunpowder, who dared to step forward?
The master only gave him three days to sell it at all costs. The person in charge of selling the shop lowered it again and again, until it finally dropped to [-]% of the reserve price given by the master, and there was still no one to patronize.
In the end, the people from the Lin family's grain store came out and expressed their willingness to buy it at [-]% of the price, not just one, but all the grain stores, including Wan's grain store!
While asking for instructions urgently, the person in charge of selling the shops held onto people and negotiated hard. You came and I fought several times, and finally bought all the hundreds of shops in the hands of Wan's Grain at [-]% of the original price. !
That sum of money happened to be the amount of money that Wan's Grain Bank bought Lin's Grain Bank back then, and there was still more!
A takeover battle that was thought to be a sure win, but at the cost of the purchaser paying all the grain stores, it finally came to an end!
This caused an uproar in that master's team, as well as the entire business world!
What is even more infuriating is that as soon as the grain store was in hand, the people from the former Lin family grain store returned to their old store one after another.
It turned out that the newly opened grain shops they opened were not rented out on a monthly basis, but on a temporary daily basis, at a daily rate twice as high as the monthly rent!
If it is a long-term lease, the doubled rent will make the Lin Family Food Store unable to sell, but if it is only a few days, it is really a big profit!
The man far away in the capital was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard the news.
If he holds back the loss and insists on it for another month, it is still unknown who will win at that time!
But the huge loss of hundreds of taels a day made him panic all of a sudden, and he immediately decided to cut off his arms and stop the loss, which was what Lu Xinyan said!
This trip only took a few days, and Lu Xinyan easily earned hundreds of shops. What's more, now three-quarters of the grain shops in the country are all in her hands!
Mr. Li was so excited that he praised Lu Xinyan in his letter, making no secret of his admiration for Lu Xinyan's business ability.
Lu Xinyan looked at the letter, and burned the letter without expression. There was nothing to be surprised about, as expected!
At the same time, Qi Fei also learned about the wonderful acquisition and anti-acquisition battle between Wan's Grain Company and Lin's Grain Shop, including the process of Lu Xinyan finally posing with the people behind the scenes. Feeling agitated, he immediately wrote Write it down, and use Zhuquetang's special communication channel to deliver the letter to Xiao Yichen immediately.
At this time, Xiao Yichen was braving the heavy rain, and with [-] soldiers, he had just arrived at the southwest border, and there were still about three days before the battlefield.
After reading the letter, he who was slightly tired showed a smile on his usually cold face.
That woman, fought a good fight!Next, it's up to him!
Xiao Yichen was full of enthusiasm, and he waved his arms: "Soldiers! Old General Li and his brothers are looking forward to the arrival of the army! There are still three days at most, all the soldiers hold on! Let's go with all our strength!"
"Yes, General!" Qi Shuhua replied loudly, shaking the world, and startled the beasts in the forest on both sides that were about to enter hibernation and fled in all directions.
