Fierce prodigal son: pick up a cheap and beautiful wife at the beginning

As the cloth merchants arrived one after another, almost all the invited merchants arrived at the end of the hour.

A rough calculation showed that there were almost 200 people gathered in the hall and outside. Half of them were merchants, and the rest were the followers they brought with them.

At this time, Wu Anhou and Cheng Ying slowly walked out of the inner hall, and sat on the main seats, one on the left and the other on the right. Wu Anhou is sitting on the left, and Cheng Ying is on the right.

Sitting in the lower position is Lu Qing, the prefect of Danyang. He looked at Wu Anhou respectfully, and when he saw him nodding slightly, Lu Qing turned to look at the crowd and said:

"This New Year's Cloth Party is divided into three chapters. The first one is the cloth art display. Each family will put the cloth they want to display on the table in the middle, and then someone will taste it."

The first of the three charters of the Sui Cloth Association is to see if there is a more suitable fabric that can outperform the previous winning bidder. If it is better, the quota for the Sui Cloth Royal Merchant will also fall there. The head of a family.

However, this possibility is basically non-existent. The fabric merchants who can win the bid in the first time must have better fabrics than other merchants.

The second item is actually to determine the qualifications of the imperial merchants. Which family will be selected? Cheng Ying, the envoy of Suibu, and Wu Anhou, who was in charge of Suibu, signed a contract with each other.

As for the third item, it was actually a cooperation negotiation between various cloth merchants.

Thirty-six cloth merchants placed their respective boxes in the middle On the table, there were boxes for the selection of cloths. Each of the three colors of cloth was actually only three feet long. It was just right to fold it into a box about the size of a foot. The

Huang family looked at Ye Ziyan mockingly. Here, Huang Lang sent up the wooden box belonging to the Huang family and placed it first. This position is the first selection position.

Almost everyone has sent the selection box up, but Ye Ziyan has not moved yet.

Huang Xiong saw this and taunted:"Niece Ye, are you ready to give up on the selection? Everyone has sent fabrics, what are you doing?……"

He is not worried that Ye Ziyan will bring out the three-color cloth again. Moreover, if he brings it out again at this time, it will be suspected of plagiarism from his Huang family.

In that case, not only would he not be qualified as an imperial merchant, he would even become the laughing stock of others' contempt and ridicule. The reputation is ruined. If Marquis Wu An and Cheng Ying were to investigate, they might even face a lawsuit.

Therefore, Huang Xiong was not worried at all. He even looked forward to the Ye family actually taking out the three-color cloth. In this case, he could take the opportunity to make Ye Ziyan irreversible.

The people around looked at Ye Ziyan with even more strange expressions. Those who knew that the Huang family might steal the Ye family's formula sighed and shook their heads. Ye Ziyan was really unlucky to meet such a shameless and despicable person like Huang Xiong.

Some people who didn't know the reason looked at the Ye family with ridicule and joking. They knew that the Huang family had taken away the cloth business from the Ye family.

This is tantamount to taking away the qualifications of the royal merchant. This time, Ye Ziyan is afraid that the Huang family will be severely humiliated again. Moreover, when the cloth year is completed, the Huang family will join forces with other cloth merchants. The Ye family will soon collapse.

Even if there are people who sympathize with the Ye family and want to help the Ye family, it is estimated that no one would dare to do so, because if they are not good, they may be involved.

"Give up, Huang Xiong, you are thinking too much……"Hearing this, Ye Ziyan glanced at Huang Xiong coldly, and nodded to Xiao Tao behind her.

Xiaotao took one of the two wooden boxes in her hand to the last position. As for the remaining wooden box, it was placed on the table beside it.

The eyes of the people around him flashed, but they didn't expect that Ye Ziyan would bring two wooden boxes, and they didn't know what was in the two wooden boxes.

Huang Xiong's eyes flickered, and there was a sarcasm in the corner of his mouth. No matter what tricks Ye Ziyan plays, she won't have any chance this time.

Cheng Ying and Wu Anhou Tongming, who were sitting at the front, looked at each other and nodded. Cheng Ying waved to a middle-aged man standing behind him, who walked out and walked towards the long table in the middle.

He opened the first wooden box. What appeared in front of everyone's eyes were fabrics in three bright colors. Bright yellows, purples and rainbows.

The moment these three colors appeared, everyone present had a look of surprise on their faces. Everyone stood up unconsciously, wanting to see the true colors of these three colors.

These three colors are really too bright, and they look amazing as soon as they appear. It's strange not to attract attention

"Such beautiful colors. No wonder the Huang family was able to take away the Ye family’s business. It turns out that they actually have such colorful fabrics. Sigh... It seems that the Huang family is the imperial merchant this time."

"Yes, what other company can compare with such a colorful fabric? If the Huang family doesn’t win the qualification of imperial merchant, who can?"

"Congratulations to the head of the Huang family, this time Huang Shang, your Huang family is stable!"Yes, yes, congratulations!""

There was a burst of exclamation from all around, and everyone was fawning over Huang Xiong. Listening to the compliments from everyone, Huang Xiong's face reached the peak of pride, and he nodded to everyone one by one.

"Rejoice together, rejoice together! When my Huang family becomes an imperial merchant, I will definitely encourage everyone to make a fortune together! Ha ha……"He smiled proudly. It seems that the Huang family's qualifications as an imperial merchant have already passed into his hands.

While everyone praised Huang Xiong, they looked at Ye Ziyan playfully, with ridicule on their faces. Of course, it's more about mercy. The Huang family has such a good reputation, who else can snatch the imperial businessman away from him.

After most people marveled, they looked regretful and helpless. They are doomed.

As for the main seat, Cheng Ying showed a sense of pride on his face. He had changed the cloth for the Huang family himself, and the Huang family's cloth made him feel relieved, and he also felt bright on his face.

Wu Anhou also nodded, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes. Even if it was not shown on his face, he was still proud in his heart. Speaking of which, the three-color cloth from the Huang family was the best he had found since he became the Minister of Suibu. The cloth is discolored.

Not only will the Khitan side be satisfied, but even the royal side will definitely be satisfied with this three-color cloth. By then, as soon as these cloths enter Beijing, he will have made a great achievement.

The possibility of being promoted to a higher rank is gone, but getting promoted and making a fortune is certain. However, the next process still needs to be done.

The middle-aged man inspecting the cloth also had a look of amazement in his eyes, but he quickly turned his attention to the remaining wooden boxes of the cloth merchants.

He opened the second wooden box. Although the color of the cloth inside was not bad, it was far inferior to the three-color cloth of the Huang family. He shook his head and opened the third one...

Until he reached the penultimate wooden box, no cloth dealer sent a cloth to compete with the Huang family. Therefore, the Huang family would win the throne. Shang is almost certain.

The only wooden box left was the Ye family's wooden box. Before this person could open the last wooden box, the surrounding cloth merchants had already congratulated the Huang family again. The flattery made Huang Xiong feel happy!

He looked at Ye Ziyan and then at the wooden box that Ye Ziyan sent up, with a mocking look on his lips. At this time, the middle-aged man had already opened the wooden box. When the cloth in the wooden box appeared in front of everyone's eyes, everyone looked stunned! His face was filled with astonishment!
