[Red House] Second Master Liangshang Lian

Sun Quan sat in Sun Shaozu's room with a gloomy expression. He glanced at the dark sky outside, his brows were furrowed, and the melancholy on his face became even worse.

Sun Shaozu came back from watching a big show after eating and drinking. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Sun Quan sitting in the dark, "Why are you sitting here? You didn't turn on the lights, you scared me."

Sun Quan asked in a deep voice, "Where did you go today? Didn't I tell you that I would take you to see Jia She today? You're better off, take my words as a deaf ear, and I disappeared early in the morning. I didn't see you, tell me, where have you been fooling around all day today!"

Sun Shaozu didn't always respect Sun Quan very much, and he didn't feel scared after hearing the reprimand, "I'm going to do something big today!"

"It's just you? Are you still doing big things?" Sun Quan scoffed at this answer.

Sun Shaozu was very dissatisfied with Sun Quan's reaction, obviously he just looked down on him, "Isn't it a big deal, whoever asked me to help my father who can't help anything and only talks sarcasticly, my future depends on me Focus on yourself, and count on you to be hopeless."

When Sun Quan heard this, he immediately became angry, "You are an unfilial son, how dare you say such heartless words! In order to donate an official to you, I put a smile on Jia Amnesty every day and try to please him in every possible way. It’s all for you! I heard what Jia She said yesterday, so I should have agreed, so today I’m going to take you to Rongguo Mansion again to settle the matter of donating officials. But you are too unmotivated , I paved the road, but you just didn't go, and you blamed others in the end, why did I give birth to such a wicked person like you!"

"Donate officials? How many senior officials can Jia Amnesty help me donate? With our family background, if you can donate a sixth-rank official, you will be regarded as a high-ranking incense in your ancestors. But what right does a small official from the sixth rank have? With a powerful family background and a powerless official position, when will I be able to rise to the top and become rich? So I decided not to be an official, I want to open a shop and start a business."

Sun Quan suddenly felt dizzy for a while, and the whole person fell down on the chair without standing still, and the hand that pointed at Sun Shaozu was trembling, "What did you say? Say it again."

Sun Shaozu was very obedient and repeated loudly, "I am no longer an official, I want to open a shop to do business!"

"Where did you go today?" Sun Quan tried hard to calm down before thinking of this crucial question.The matter of donating an official was a matter that both father and son had already decided on, and it was about to happen now. Why did Sun Shaozu suddenly go back on his word?This is not right, very wrong.

Sun Shaozu didn't intend to hide it from Sun Quan, so he said honestly, "I went to Wangshui Pavilion."

"Wangshui Pavilion?" Sun Quan sounded familiar, but couldn't remember where he heard it before, "A newly opened gambling house?"

As soon as he said this, Sun Shaozu looked at Sun Quan with even more disdain, "Why don't you even know about Wangshui Pavilion? Who are they? You don't know anything when you look like this."

Sun Quan clutched his heart and almost passed out. If Sun Shaozu wasn't his only heir, he wished he could kill Sun Shaozu right now, "What does it matter to you whether his shop is booming or not? I understand, you just look at it today. Jia Lian's shop has a good business, and you can get acquainted with dignitaries from all over the world, so you just want to learn from him, don't you? Can you think about it, who is Jia Lian, and who are you? He is Jia She's eldest son, Rongguo Mansion His eldest grandson, do you think Mrs. Jia and Jia Amnesty will help him when he runs a shop? Maybe a good part of the people who go to his shop are for the face of the Rongguo Mansion. With his family background, even if the shop If you can’t keep driving, it means losing a little money for him, but you are not, if your business fails, then our family will be finished!”

In Sun Quan's perception, Jia Lian was just a dude, how could such a young man from a family understand business, and Wangshui Pavilion would be closed sooner or later.

Although Sun Quan said so, after all, only Sun Shaozu had seen it with his own eyes. Looking at the bustling scenes of Beauty Hall and Wangshui Pavilion, and Jia Lian's conversation, Sun Shaozu would never believe that Jia Lian had no business sense.But he also knew that no matter what he said, Sun Quan couldn't understand or listen to him, "No matter what you say, I must open a shop and start a business. Do you know that Jia Lian and I are brothers and sisters now?" , just like a brother, today he not only invited me to eat roast duck, but also took me to the theater to watch a play. You don’t know how delicious the roast duck is, and how beautiful the play is. If I listen to your request, donate a small official , then I don’t know when I will be able to live such a life in my life.”

And Sun Shaozu's "rhetoric" really shocked Sun Quan, he didn't even know that his son still had such a big "ambition".

For a while, the father and son looked at each other speechlessly.

"Get along like brothers? Really?" After a while, Sun Quan asked dully.

Because he wanted Sun Quan to agree with his words, Sun Shaozu exaggerated when he said this. Now that he thinks about this issue, he really has no idea, but seeing that Jia Lian took him to eat and play with him today, he should have no idea Misunderstood, "Of course it is true!"

At this moment, Sun Quan finally felt less pain in his chest. He looked at Sun Shaozu and said earnestly: "If you give up the chance to be an official now, it might be even more difficult in the future. Besides, have you ever thought about it? If you need a lot of silver taels, as far as our family is concerned, where can I get you some silver taels?"

Sun Shaozu really didn't think much about this question. He only saw what he wanted to see this day. As for the difficult things Sun Quan mentioned, he didn't care too much. He looked at Sun Quan and immediately became very gentle, "Aren't you friends with Mr. Jia? Why don't you just tell him to forget about donating officials, but let him lend us a little silver... .”

Sun Quan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Then what business do you want to do?"

Sun Shaozu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I want to open a jewelry shop."

He doesn't understand how to play Wangshui Pavilion, but it's not easy to open a jewelry shop, as long as Jia Lian sends him some jewelry design drawings, will his shop still have no business?Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing a smug smile, as if he had already envisioned how successful he would be in the future.

"Why do you want to open a jewelry shop?" Sun Quan expressed his incomprehension.

"You don't need to know that. I have my own reasons. You, just sit at home and count the money."

Sun Quan couldn't help pouring cold water on him: "The cost of opening a shop has not yet been fixed, so don't get too excited."

Sun Shaozu didn't care much, "The Rongguo Mansion has a lot of money, and Mr. Jia is careless. How can I say that you know better than me."

Although Sun Shaozu had made up his mind, Sun Quan still felt that he was unreliable, "There is no rush for this matter, you have to let me think about it."

"Okay, you just think about it. It just so happens that I can visit the shop these few days. The location of the shop must be chosen well, and it must not be sloppy." Sun Shaozu seemed to know how to open a shop and do business.

After several days, Sun Quan was worried about this matter, so worried that he didn't even go to the casino.He has been hesitating whether he should support Sun Shaozu's decision to open a shop. His greatest wish has always been that Sun Shaozu can become an official, and he doesn't care about his official position. After all, their Sun family is in decline. That is of course the best.But now that he is suddenly told to go into business, he always feels uncomfortable.

Sun Shaozu is the opposite of him. Ever since he told Sun Quan that he wanted to open a jewelry shop, he has been running to the Hall of Beauty every day, asking Dou Craftsman how the business of the Hall of Beauty is on the sidelines for a while, and coming to buy jewelry for a while. The girl showed lewd eyes, and craftsman Dou looked at that wretched look, wishing he could just throw him out.But when he thought of Jia Lian's advice to him, he swallowed his anger and could only stare at Sun Shaozu fiercely.
