In the side hall of the teacher's house, Shi Youqian set up a banquet to entertain Zhen Jian, in order to repay Zhen Jian's life-saving kindness, and Hou Chongwen and Gai Tong were at the same table.
Shi Youqian just invited Zhen Jian, but Zhen Jian called these two people to eat, which is very bad, but after Shi Youqian learned the identities of Hou Chongwen and Gai Tong, I don't know how excited he was, he has been doing business in the capital for ten years, and he has also given gifts to many officials, but even if those officials receive gifts, they still look at him with their nostrils, so arrogant that they can't do it, although Hou Chongwen and Gai Tong are not officials, but they are people from the two major mansions, this is amazing, getting acquainted with them, it is equivalent to climbing to the mansion, can Shi Youqian not be happy.
At the banquet, although Shi Youqian was the oldest, he frequently raised his glass to toast, no way, his status was the lowest, Hou Chongwen and Gai Tong were full of doubts, but they knew that Zhen Jian had never been unpurposeful in doing things, since he specially called them over this time, he must have had a good intention, and Shi Youqian was present, so they endured it and didn't ask.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhen Jian smiled and said: "Uncle Hou, Gai Tong, I called you over this time, in fact, I want to introduce you to the seniors, and in the future, I also hope that the two major princes will take care of the seniors." ” Hou Chongwen and Gai Tong glanced at each other, nodded and smiled: "It's easy to say, let's do our best." ” Shi Youqian was excited when he heard this, he didn't know why Zhen Jian was so good to him, and he didn't have time to ask so much, so he toasted and thanked him first.
After another toast, Zhen Jiancai said: "Senior and I hit it off at first sight, I want to let the two Guogong Mansion give him a little bit of perfume and spirits business, Uncle Hou, Gai Tong, can you go back and discuss with the two Guogong?"
” "This ......"
Hou Chongwen suddenly frowned when he heard this, "Zhen Jian, you promised my father and Ming Guogong that this perfume and spirits business would only be done by the two of us, and now you are ......
Broken my promise. ” Zhen Jian smiled and waved his hand: "Uncle Hou is wrong, I didn't break the promise, if I deliver the goods to the seniors, it will be a breach of the promise, I am now praying for the two princes, get rich and bring the seniors, let the seniors climb the two big trees, I will give the two princes corresponding benefits, such as ......
The supply price of perfumes and spirits has been reduced by one percent, and the price remains the same. ” Gai Tong heard this: "If the purchase price can be lowered by one percent, and the price remains the same, grandpa should agree, after all, the profit in this is very large." ” Hou Chongwen also said: "Yes, the purchase price has been lowered by one percent, this is a huge profit, Zhen Jian, are you really willing to do it?"
” "Naturally, I am willing to do it."
Zhen Jian raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I hope that the two Guogongs can take more care of their seniors, and set aside some other businesses to cooperate with their seniors, and there is no need to make too many profits, as long as they declare to the outside world that the two Guogongs value their seniors very much, it's fine." ” "No problem."
Hou Chongwen and Gai Tong both nodded, they could see that Zhen Jian wanted Shi Youqian to attach to the two princes, but the two of them were full of questions, why Zhen Jian was so good to this Shi Youqian, and even Shi Youqian was very puzzled, why Zhen Jian was so good to himself, saving his life and helping him match, looking for the two princes to be backers.
Zhen Jian's purpose is very simple, he just wants the two Guogongs to be Shi Youqian's backers, Zhen Jian's business relationship with the two Guogongs will spread throughout the capital next year, and Shi Youqian is the person of the two Guogongs, Zhen Jian can enter and leave Shi Youqian's house openly under the guise of talking about business, so that he can come to meet his mother in a grand manner, even if Qin Huan will move the people around Zhen Jian, but he can't move Zhen Jian's business partners, even if he wants to move, he has to worry about the two Guogongs.
Gradually drunk, Hou Chongwen and Gai Tong were too strong to drink, and left first, Zhen Jian continued to drink with Shi Youqian, Shi Youqian is usually very modest, and rarely drinks so much, but he is so happy today, and he toasts frequently, and he is already so drunk that he shakes his head.
Although Zhen Jian was a little drunk, his consciousness was still clear, and with the strength of the wine, he suddenly asked: "Senior senior, I don't know if you have heard of a businessman, his name is Zheng Youwei." ” Zhen Jian has always wanted to inquire about his father, but he usually has little opportunity to contact big businessmen, and the two princes are from the imperial court after all, so it is inconvenient to ask, so he plans to ask Shi Youqian, maybe he will have heard of it, after all, Zheng Youwei was also a very successful big businessman back then.
Sure enough, Shi Youqian said: "Zheng Youwei?
That's a big businessman. ” "Oh?"
Zhen Jian was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "Is his business very big?"
How big is it?
” "His business is mainly cloth grain."
Shi Youqian shook his tongue and said, "Seventy percent of the grain and silk business in the Jianghuai region is his, not only that, but he also does business with the Liang people, selling silk, cloth, ceramics, tea and other goods to the Liang country, and it is rumored that his annual profit is more than one million." ” Zhen Jian was quite surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect his father to be so awesome, in just ten years, he could not be surprised to make the business so big.
At this time, Shi Youqian said again: "I heard that he has the support of high-ranking officials of the imperial court behind him, so it is smooth sailing to do business, but unfortunately, such a big businessman was suddenly beheaded by the imperial court." ” Zhen Jian froze when he heard this, frowned slightly and asked, "Senior knows the cause of his death?"
” Shi Youqian said, "He secretly sold military armor to the enemy country, committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, he was found to have hidden military armor in the goods at the Jiankang River Ferry Pass, and he was arrested on the spot. ” Zhen Jian frowned and groaned when he heard this, and finally got a useful clue, his father was in Jiankang, if he was free, he had to go to Jiankang.
After drinking with Shi Youqian for a while, Shi Youqian couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked people to arrange a room and let Zhen Jian live in the house, after all, it was too late, and Zhen Jian also drank a lot of wine, it was inconvenient to go back, Zhen Jian naturally agreed, live here, and have time to meet his mother tonight.
The servant took Zhen Jian to the prepared wing, and after the servant left, Zhen Jian found a no-man's corner and slammed his throat, induced most of the wine and food in his stomach to vomit, and immediately felt much more comfortable, and then went out of the courtyard and went to the inner courtyard.
The master's house is not big, only three into the courtyard, he escaped a few courtyards with the help of the night, came to the inner courtyard, and saw that there was a courtyard guard at the entrance of the inner courtyard, he originally wanted to climb over the wall to enter, but it was too rude to think of climbing over the wall into the inner courtyard, so he stepped forward and said: "I want to ask to see your second lady." ” The nurse's face changed when he heard this, and he came to find the second miss of their family in the middle of the night, isn't this a hooligan, I saw that this guard was wearing a green coat and looked very young, only in his twenties, when he stepped forward to look at Zhen Jian, he said coldly: "In the middle of the night, ask to see the second miss of our family?"
What are your intentions, go away!
Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!
” Zhen Jian said with a smile on his face: "I am the old lady of your family, you just need to report it and say that Zhen Jian wants to see you, and your second lady will definitely come out to meet." ” Hearing this, the Tsing Yi guard looked at Zhen Jian suspiciously, he knew that the second lady of their family had always paid attention to etiquette, so late at night, how could he come to meet a man, he glared at Zhen Jian, and snorted coldly: "Don't think that if you save our master, you can come here, I advise you to go back and rest quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
” Zhen Jian just wanted to speak, but he heard a gentle voice say, "Zhen Jian?
Is it Zhen Jian?
Shi Xiaowan walked to the door of the inner courtyard with the support of the maid.
It turned out that Shi Xiaowan had been walking in the courtyard, she knew that Zhen Jian was having a banquet with her father in the front yard, and naturally she wanted to see him very much, but there were guests at home, and because of the etiquette, she couldn't go out to see him, so she could only wander in the courtyard, and when she heard a voice at the door, she came over.
"It's me, Second Miss."
Zhen Jian saluted respectfully.
Shi Xiaowan saw Zhen Jian, not to mention how happy she was, and hurriedly said, "Come in." ” "Second Miss!"
Hearing this, the Tsing Yi guard hurriedly bowed his head and said, "This is not in line with etiquette!"
If the lord knows about it......"
"If Dad knows, I'll take care of it, you don't have to worry about it."
Shi Xiaowan made a gesture of invitation to Zhen Jian and said, "Please come in." ” "Thank you, Second Miss."
Zhen Jian smiled lightly and walked into the inner courtyard.
Shi Xiaowan invited him to sit down in a pavilion in the courtyard, sent the maid to make ginseng tea, and then looked at Zhen Jian happily and asked, "Drink a lot of bars?"
” Zhen Jian grinned, scratched his head and said, "I drank a little, but it didn't get in the way." ” Shi Xiaowan said: "Don't be greedy for a cup in the future, wine is not a good thing." ” "Got it, mother......" he casually called out his mother, which was almost subconscious, without thinking much about it in his brain, and it may also be the reason why alcohol slowed down his thinking.
As he spoke, Zhen Jian and Shi Xiaowan were stunned at the same time, and after a long time, Shi Xiaowan smiled and asked, "You know everything?"
” "Hmm."

Zhen Jian nodded, and after saying it, his heart was much more relaxed, and he said, "Dad told me." ” "Your father?"
Shi Xiaowan was stunned, then reacted and said, "You're talking about your second uncle." ” "No, he's my father."
Zhen Jian suddenly said with a solemn face, "He has raised me for so many years, and he has cared for me so much, and he is as kind as a mountain, in my heart, he is my father." ” Shi Xiaowan couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, her face showed bitterness, and said, "Mother and your father are also involuntarily......"
Zhen Jian raised his hand and said, "Mother, don't mention the past, I haven't resented you." ” "Good boy, you have been wronged."
Shi Xiaowan couldn't help but feel sad when she heard this, took Zhen Jian's hand, rubbed it on her cheek, felt Zhen Jian's temperature, and crystal tears slowly drooped.
Zhen Jian persuaded: "Mother, it's a good thing that our mother and son can reunite, we should be happy, why are you crying." ” Shi Xiaowan raised a hand, gently wiped away her tears, and said with a smile: "My mother is so happy that she cried, my mother is so happy."
As she spoke, she took Zhen Jian's hands with both hands, leaned on her cheeks, rubbed them slowly, and muttered in her mouth, "This is my son's hand, it is different from the dream, this hand is hot, it is alive, it has been sixteen years, I have been looking forward to it for sixteen years......"
Because she was too excited, tears came out of her eyes again.
The maid was about to come over with the ginseng tea, and happened to see their mother and son doing this, and was immediately stunned, almost knocking over the ginseng tea, she hurriedly shrank back into the corner, looking at the scene in front of her in disbelief, although she was far away, she couldn't hear what they said, but she felt that all this had subverted her cognition.
After a while, she slowly frowned, gritted her teeth and said coldly: "This little white face, it turns out that saving our master is to plot against our second miss, he doesn't learn well at a young age, he seduces women everywhere, and the young lady can be his mother, he is so shameless, he must be the same as Bao Dingyun, hmph, I must not let Miss be fooled!"
