Chapter 51 Lingzhou Negotiation

After dinner, Yan Ling returned to the outer courtyard, and Xiaoyue and Xiaojuan returned to "Xiao Yaxuan". Mei Chai led the peach hairpin to clean up the accommodation in the wing, and Rong Hui's family gathered on the hot kang in the west for tea. Xiao Xuan took the opportunity to discuss her mother-in-law: "Mom, how about I find someone to serve you?"

Li's mother politely refused: "It's good for you to be by my side!"

Xiaoxuan didn't hear the meaning of refusal and kept this matter in her heart. Rong Hui also discussed: "At the beginning of spring, Dad and uncle's family are coming. Where do you think it's better to live?"

"Didn't you say that you are in charge of the mountain and I am in charge of the bottom of the mountain?" Rong Hui kicked the problem back with a smile: "This is the mountain. It's up to you, you say!"

"There are many places to live in. I think the 'Ziwei Hall' is very good. It is neither smaller than here, but also in the right position. Add three pairs of wing rooms in the front and a row of covered rooms in the back. Finally, frame the upper wall and you can move in!" Xiaoxuan said his worries again: "It's just that the mountains are poor, and parents can naturally spend their old age in peace. But my uncle is rich and powerful, and it's okay to escape the summer heat. If you live in the mountains for many years, I'm afraid you won't get used to it.

Rong Hui said, "Then it's good to buy a big house in Qiyi Town and let the eldest brother's family live on the mountain for half a year and at the foot of the mountain for half a year?"

Li's mother saw that her son and daughter-in-law had a good time, and her smile overflowed from the bottom of her heart to the corners of her eyes. Rong Xue asked, "Then where do I live?" You all have a new place, please find me a place!" I'm afraid that she will be missing.

Rong Hui was stunned and wanted his sister to live in the east wing. Xiaoxuan said first, "Mom, she is going to host the feeding. It's better to let her follow me to take care of the common affairs in the morning and follow Xiaoyue to class in the afternoon. Xiaoyue's knowledge is very good. From now on, she will teach her father-in-law every morning. In the afternoon, she will take Rong Xue to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knitting female workers.

This sentence went straight to Li's mother's heart. The old man smiled and could no longer care about the little girl's eyes and eyebrows. He nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

When the four people discussed to Xu, Li's mother knew that Xiaoxuan was going to live a "dust-free house" to live a small life. It's a little unhappy, let alone incomprehensible, but it has to be pressed in my heart. Xiaoxuan arranged Li's mother and Rong Xue to sleep in the big bed in the west room, and let Rong Hui sleep in the big bed in the west. After the three men finished grooming, they took Mei Cai and others to the "dustless house".

The next morning, big shopkeepers from all over the world came to the "Insurless Pavilion" to say goodbye. After practicing, Rong Hui invited everyone to have breakfast and personally sent them down the mountain. Everyone once "co-been with their son", and when they parted ways, they suddenly felt a little reluctant. They were polite to each other for a long time before they dispersed one after another.

After returning to the "Imless Pavilion", Rong Hui followed Xiaoyue to check the warehouse. After searching, the two found a three-dimensional map pinched with mud under the old mantle tent in the corner. Although the soil is cracked and damaged, as long as it is pinched according to the outline, it can still recover. So he happily carried back to the "Insurgance Pavilion" study.

Shanzhong affairs began to get on the right track, and Xiaoxuan still set the "deliberation hall" in the west hall of "Taishimen" and showed it every day. Her "small day" just left last night, and she was going back to the "Insurmount Pavilion" for the night tonight, so she let Li's mother live in the "dustless house".

She also found a girl from the "needle room" to tailor her mother-in-law's clothes. She made twelve sets of big jackets. Another Dusha came to serve Li's mother and gave her a fifteen-month case, all from Mei Zai.

Dusa is very good at serving people, and she has a pair of children under her knees. Li's mother did not have the air of "Mrs." as soon as she saw her, she had endless words. There were children playing around, and the former head of Qingxiu's residence suddenly became lively.

Rong Xue lived directly in Xiao Yaxuan and accompanied Xiaoyue and Xiaojuan. Three people are born in the same year and will be late next year. Compared with the ability of Mei Kap and others, they prefer to be frivolous. Now living together in the same room, they naturally form a small group. There is not only nothing to say, but also endless words.

It took Xiaoxuan more than half a day to sort out the affairs on the mountain. After a short rest, it's dusk again. My mother-in-law lived here alone, and my daughter-in-law had no reason to eat a small stove, so she asked Su Zai to send the food to Wuchenju. She went back and invited Rong Hui and Rong Xue to Wuchenju for dinner together.

Xiaoyue cooks one less meal, which is naturally easy. Dusha was flattered: "If I had known you were coming, I would have made more dishes in the evening." After setting chopsticks for everyone, he went to have dinner with Brother and Seser.

After dinner, everyone talked again. Li's mother wanted to let Dusha walk and eat with her, and the rest of the people dispersed. Wuchenju is in the west of Taishimen, and the Infinite Pavilion is in the east of Taishimen, two or three miles apart. Li Chu and the two walked leisurely, just in time to eat.

Rong Hui suddenly had a strange thought and discussed Xiaoxuan: "Do you remember that Dusha's tour car? The wheels are three feet high and four feet wide. It was pulled by a mule and could just sit two people. We might as well make one, pull it with goats and milk it!"

Xiaoxuan thought it was a good idea and readily agreed: "Then make a few more cars and give each of those elderly stewers one, and no one said anything about us."

After the two returned to the "Imeasurable Pavilion" and washed them one after another. When Rong Hui walked to the west room in pajamas, Mei Jian was laying a quilt on the soft couch in the outer room. Pushing the mirror door into the inner room, Xiaoxuan was also bowing to make the bed. Behave lightly and in an orderly manner.

He was slightly stunned, and a warmth came to his heart, and then he felt that this "insurgable pavilion" was his home. Looking at Xiaoxuan spread the pillow and quilt to be used, folded the spare bedding aside, and then gently hugged her from behind. Her hands took the opportunity to lean into the two pages of clothes, and gently praised, "How long is your heart? Several quilts can be folded neatly like tofu pieces!" With that, he crossed the two small cherries.

Xiaoxuan was very glad that he could find his efforts and blushed in an in an moment. For a moment, my head was hot and my skin was tight. I couldn't help raising my voice and telling him, "Mei, go to bed!" It has trembled a little.

She used to feel that there were familiar people sleeping outside the account, and she didn't have to be afraid of anything. Now as a woman, she is ashamed to let people know the secrets of her boudoir. Hearing Mei Cai answer, she took a deep breath and tried to relax.

Rong Hui tasted the sweetness, where there was still patience. He picked her up and fell back, and got into the quilt together. After coaxing and teasing her little by little, she began to take care of her feelings. But the more depressed you are, the more you can't do whatever you want. Finally, the embankment collapsed and began to ask for it.

Rong Hui was satisfied and took the initiative to get out of bed and poured a glass of water for Xiaoxuan. Looking back, he saw her frowning, tears in her eyes, and her heart melted: "It's impossible to admit this kind of thing!" I only regret that I only care about my own addiction and impulse for a moment. So he personally fed her tea and coaxed her to sleep as comfort.

The problem between the two people is that one is slow, and his heart is burning, but he doesn't feel it. The other one is too fast, and his heart is turbulent, but he can't stand it;

One can begin to suppress himself, but once the embankment collapses, the nine cows will not pull him back. The other can begin to accept the other party, but before he can taste it, he has to endure it;

A person is partial and scrupulous about her and can't always have fun. The other still tolerates him, let alone happy.

The two of them struggled for more than half a month, and finally gave up halfway. Rong Hui comforted Xiaoxuan softly: "Go to sleep. I went to order the silver library today, plus the 250,000 taels of silver tickets you issued, which is enough for 500,000 taels. There is still work next!"

Explanation? Comfort? At this time, he can still think about this, which is too..." Xiaoxuan couldn't help slandering, but at the thought of letting him serve him for so long, he couldn't help but feel sad. I just wanted to explain a few words, but I blurted out, "I... didn't mean to."

Rong Hui laughed: "Silly girl, go to sleep..." He couldn't help laughing at himself: "Look at my hard work, but he is not confused. I can lie on the beauty and retreat freely."

"Yes, if he wants himself, he has neither the ability to argue with him nor refuse!" Xiaoxuan's mind flashed and immediately relieved. That care and respect made her even more gratified. So he took the initiative to get into Rong Hui's arms, closed his eyes, smelled the thick sweat, and then the curls surged up.

As soon as Mao arrived, the drum sounded six times. Rong Huiyou woke up, the light outside the tent was bright, and the little man who snuggled beside him still slept soundly. He simply stayed in bed for a while before he got up lightly. Looking back, Xiaoxuan frowned and moved her body, found a comfortable position for herself, and then spread her eyebrows to sleep.

He couldn't help laughing. He only felt that the girl was getting more and more clingy. He tucked the corner of the quilt for her, put the curtain, opened the wardrobe and found a set of coarse cloth and short brown to change it, and then opened the mirror door.

It's not yet dawn, and the room is brightly lit. Mei Jian and others were busy dressing up. When they saw their uncle coming out, they shouted "Second Master" one after another. Rong Hui raised his finger and said quietly, "She hasn't woken up yet. You'll go in later." After saying that, he went out of the gate and practiced boxing in the open space in the garden.

He practiced "two-arm boxing", which followed each other quickly and slowly, and the fists were long and round. It is both strong and soft, and the meaning is continuous and in thousands of forms. In the past, he was single-minded. Even if he was based on internal skills, he practiced paradoxical and was quite far-fetched. Nowadays, I have no heart and lungs. Even if I practice it, it is wonderful and skillful to play out.

Whether it's good or bad, whether it's false or real, whether it's strengthening the body or reaching the peak... It's all life. Not only boxing, but also writing practice, classes, common affairs... but also life. Let the maid serve, collect money from the estate, eat grains... or live. Rong Hui's mind was empty-minded and punched casually. He felt sweaty before he stopped. When I came to my senses, it was already dawn. So he restrained his breath and went back to the house to wash and change clothes.

Xiaoxuan has already got up, just combed her "flying fairy bun" and still wearing a snow dress. She saw that Rong Hui was refreshed and restrained. Suddenly, she knew that his cultivation was refined, so she came forward to greet him: "Have you finished practicing boxing? It seems that kung fu has made progress again.

Rong Hui saw her tie her long hair into two strands and arched it on her head. It made her little body look extraorcative, her eyes lit up, and she happily said, "I don't think it's just that her whole body is comfortable, really." Seeing that she was better than snow in white and her hair, like a goat sent the day before yesterday, she laughed with joy and turned to the clean room.

Xiao Xuan was stunned and asked Mei Qian, "What is he laughing at?"

Mei was also confused, so she had to bravely say, "May be happy to see you dressed well!"

"Happy, very happy! But it's by no means happy to see Bao, but it smells like a joke!" Xiaoxuan slandered and asked Taohai, "Which dress should I wear today!"

Peachpin immediately came up with an idea: "At this time, it's too late to wear autumn colors, and it's too early to wear pine green. It's better to wear yellow and green, bright! It's just right with your bun!"

Xiao Xuan happily agreed: "Then take a newly modified yellow-green dark coat." She was small and couldn't stand the big sleeves. After passing through several times, she let the sewing room shrink all the big cuffs three times.

After Rong Hui washed out, he saw Xiaoxuan's bright clothes, jewels and treasures on her head. Only then did he feel that she had a little charm and sincerely sighed: "You want to fly!"

Xiaoxuan nodded with a smile, and the unhappiness just now was swept away. When the two had breakfast in the middle hall again, Mei Jian suddenly came and said, "Master, stewor Yan said that he had moved in a guest last night and said that he came to congratulate you on behalf of Boss Shi. He came again this morning and asked if you were there."

They took back 200,000 taels of cash from HSBC Bank, and the Shi family came back. The two looked at each other and smiled. Rong Hui said, "See, let him drink tea in the front study first. I'll go after breakfast." Meicha nodded.

Rong Hui chewed more slowly and thought about the stubble while eating. After thinking about it, he went to the study. Sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man in a cashmere hat standing in the east. He wore a large coat and looked shrewd and calm. When he saw Rong Hui, he bowed his hand: "Congratulations, prince, you are in charge of the gate of Lianshan Mountain. The small one is Shi Quan, the shopkeeper of the general number of HSBC Qianzhuang. He came here to pay his peace!" With that, he picked up a red sandalwood tree on the table and opened it with his hands, showing a palm-sized jade in the box.

"Then take me to thank Boss Shi!" Rong Hui nodded and took over. Seeing Yan Ling bring tea, she put it on the tray and sat down and said, "You sit down too!" Come on, what does Boss Shi have to say?

Shi Quan half sat in place and waited for Yan Ling to go down before saying, "The owner wants to make an appointment before the New Year to invite the prince down the mountain for a meal. I don't know when it's convenient for you!"

"Don't worry, he won't send you here, and I'm going to find him!" Rong Hui promised, "That's it!" Straight to the topic: "Can you tell me about your bank's business? I want to hear the truth."

"The little one must know everything and say everything." Shi Quanru said to several treasures: "There are four yuan in our Qianzhuang business. One is the exchange of gold, silver and copper, and there is a difference of four millimeters in and out. Gold and silver exchange is not for those small banks, so business has been good. The second is to recast gold and silver, and the silver casting furnace is everywhere, which can be compared with this house, and there are absolutely no three. There are not many gold casting furnaces, and more than half of the dog-headed gold are cast. The red gold cast by this village can definitely be directly handed over to the gold shop for jewelry!"

"The stone is light and heavy. Only by melting gold and silver into water can the impurities on the surface be removed. The higher the temperature, the better the rest of the color. The gold shop uses a stone pot and stone furnace to melt gold, and uses stone chopsticks to pick out impurities, which can only be melted twice. When the scale of the gold casting furnace melts, one scale is 30 jin, which is directly cast into a large gold column, and then divided into color sawing and remelting. Only by repeating in this way can more red gold be cast. Rong Hui remembered the insights Xiaoyue told him, smiled, and then asked, "There are also Huiyin and deposit and loan. Please talk about it carefully."

Shi Quanyi is happy: "The owner has repeatedly explained that as long as he can partner with Lianshan, he will not only solve the crisis, but also make a lot of money in the future!" At present, when he heard Rong Hui take the initiative to ask, he immediately cheered up and said, "'Exchange Silver Bill' is generally used to settle big deals between the two places, and can only be withdrawn at the appointment time. However, this village has to pay one cent of freight, at least one cent, with a maximum of ten taels. This business is also something that those small money can't afford. Even if they give money to others, they also take accounts from this village. In addition, deposits and loans, such as silver notes circulating on the market, are all current deposits issued by the general number, and you can still get a dividend of five milligrams in a year. If you withdraw money, you also need to pay the freight in advance..."

Rong Hui suddenly asked him, "I heard that your business of the subcolon is not easy to do, is it?"

"It's all crowded by those small banks!" Shi Quan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The foundation of those squires and landlords is there, and we only have a storefront. Ordinary people can't walk a hundred miles in their lives, so they naturally believe in them more. However, their business is small, so they have to save more money to prevent people from exchanging money. If they count the cost of people, it will be difficult to develop. We have a big business. Although we leave a lot of money, we can take up a much smaller share than them and can lend more money. Everything is big and small, and it is reasonable.

Rong Hui remembered it in his heart and then asked him, "A big shopkeeper like you has also occupied the share! Tell me how many stocks you have."

Shi Quan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This..." It's not true, it's okay to talk nonsense, and he is frozen in his position.

Rong Hui couldn't help laughing: "I heard that the Shi family was separated once when he was the old master. Boss Shi got five members, and the remaining 50% either fell aside or flowed out. Your surname is also Shi. Are you the one who fell next to you..."

Shi Quan bowed his hand and said, "The little master often follows. If you don't come to help the boss, how dare you get the honor of the old master."

"Then I'll come straight to the point!" Rong Hui said about the topic: "Those old masters of Chendu, as soon as they heard that you had lost the business of the household department, they saw the rudder and turned their faces. The gold signboard of HSBC Qianzhuang was earned by several generations of the Shi family. If it collapses, not to mention your pity, even I will pity you. Tell Shi Wanxin what I said, and I can take your money, but I have to account for six of you.

"This..." Shi Quan sweated through his back and summoned up the courage to ask, "How to occupy the law, you say..."

Rong Hui smiled and shouted sideways, "Yan Ling, come and settle the bill!"

Yan Ling answered in the front hall, brought the four treasures and abacus of the study, and Ying Chengrong Hui: "You say, I'll write!" Just put the paper inkstone on the coffee table.

Rong Hui said solemnly, "Your total number is on Qianmen Street, and the land is quite valuable. Let's call it 10,000 taels!"

"10,000 taels?" Shi Quan barely squeezed out a smile, but it was worse than crying.

Rong Hui nodded slightly and then said, "You all have a subcolon in nine cities, but the location is far away, and the decoration is not as good as the total number, even if it's 2,000 yuan!" He asked Yan Ling again, "How much is it in total?"

Yan Ling blurted out: "28,000 taels."

Rong Hui continued: "In addition to your gold casting workshop and silver casting workshop, it will add up to 2,000 taels! A total of 30,000 taels, plus the principal of your bank. I will buy your bank at this price.

Although the transaction of HSBC Bank is big, it is valuable, and the real principal is only 200,000 to 300,000 taels. Shi Quan argued with reason: "Mr. Son, we are a time-honored brand and a gold signboard."

"Without the protection of the court, you are almost rotten!" Rong Hui said angrily, "Brother, I bought your mess and took the risk!" He also told Yan Ling, "If you ask for six big tickets for my wife, we have to return the gift, right?"

Yan Ling answered and left, and Rong Hui changed the topic again: "Is there anything serious in Chen Du recently? Tell me!"

Shi Quan suffered in his heart: "The biggest thing that Chen Du has spread is that the master opposite cut off 2,500 mountain thieves with one sword, and the eighteen villages of Jiuling have been unimpeded since then." At present, he can only bravely respond: "I heard that the eldest grandson of the Duke of Cheng is very beautiful and can speak before he is half a year old. There are four words to open my mouth. I want to breastfeed. Clear and bright, it is said to be a 'divine power' reincarnation.

"Isn't that child born on the mountain?" Rong Hui suddenly remembered the Wei girl who lived in the "Linfei Pavilion" and hurriedly chased him and asked, "How tall is the child? Is it white..."

Yan Ling brought a lacquered wooden box, and Rong Hui opened it on the spot and showed it to Shi Quan: "You know, I took 200,000 taels from Boss Shi for nothing. I don't like to take advantage of others. This is 60,000 shares. Please help me transfer it to Boss Shi. Every year, eight dividends will be regarded as interest. If he agrees, I'll have another meal together."

Shi Quan frowned in his heart: "This is still not like to take advantage of others, so if you take advantage of it..." He didn't dare to think further, so he had to stand up and take it with both hands. After a few words of greeting, when he saw Rong Hui bring tea, he picked up the box and staggered away.
