The road to get rich through salted fish

Standing in the crowd of onlookers, Liang Feng witnessed the hustle and bustle, heard the discussions in his ears, his face was unpredictable, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"What the hell is going on, I don't know, I thought we opened another branch?" Yun Qing looked at this so-called "Linlang Pavilion", very indignant.

Because it is exactly the same as Muyunzhuang, whether it is the opening promotion method, the goods sold, or the embroidery, which is too low.

"The business is so good, this guy wants to follow suit to pick up the bargain!" Yun Chen said with a smile, he just has an unscrupulous temper.

The corner of Liang Feng's mouth twitched into a sneer, and he remained silent.

After turning around, but with a generous and gentle expression, he smiled and hugged their shoulders, and comforted him, "Don't be in a bad mood, today is the holiday, let's go guess the lantern riddles first, and put the lanterns in the river later, little guy, Don't you don't guess one by then, you can only look at us helplessly from the sidelines."

Yun Chen knew that he was changing the subject on purpose, so he didn't let himself think about it, so he responded with his usual temper, "Don't look down on people."

After that, the three of them returned to their previous state of mind, laughing and playing all the way. In the riddle guessing meeting, although Yunchen did not win against those aged talents, he still managed to win a big lantern. He was very proud. Liang Feng and Yun Qing showed off for a while.

In a teahouse not far away, Xie Heng was sitting on the street by the window, holding a small teacup in one hand, but he was concentrating on staring at the family of three in the shadow of the lights in the book street.

It was rare for Li Dan to see his husband like this, and said with a smile, "Husband, did you fall in love with that kid from the Liang family?"

Xie Heng tilted his head and chuckled, but said tacitly, "That kid is very nice, with a smart mind and a likable temperament."

Sometimes the eye edge is such a strange thing, when you look at him, you feel kind-hearted, and when you look at him, you feel familiar, and you feel that you are the kind of late-born child you want to cultivate.

Seeing his statement like this, Li Danyi was even more surprised.

"It's a pity that our family doesn't have a girl or brother. Otherwise, my husband likes it so much, so we might as well let him belong to our family."

"That's not enough," Xie Heng smiled again, "Besides, he's still young, so it's hard to tell what will happen in the future, and our two families..."

Li Danyi also nodded lightly. She naturally understood what her husband meant. The status of the two families was too different. It can be said that the Xie family could crush them to death with just one finger. Harm him, such a long-term plan, is the right way.

However, Liang Feng has helped the bookstore earn a lot of money recently, and she is not stingy to say a few more obedient words, "Don't worry, my husband, I heard that this little guy has a bit of talent for reading, teach his wife Qin Hua, yes He greatly praised him, saying that his talent is a hundred times greater than his own."

"is it?"

Xie Heng saw him for the first time today, and he felt that Yunchen, a young boy of eight or nine years old, could handle a group of old masters and sour scholars on the stage. .

Although he came to Tong'an County not long ago, Qin Hua is a well-known scholar here, and he has taught many young talents, and he also knows a little bit about it. That little guy can be praised so much, he should really be outstanding.

Li Danyi nodded. She is a mother, and she always has some kindness towards the child. "Yes, the shopkeeper seems to have mentioned that the Liang family asked him a lot. About the matter of Cixi Academy, Master Qin should have plans to let Xiao Guys go to the test."

Xie Heng was a little happy about this, and clapped his hands with an unexpectedly good-looking expression, "If that kid is really talented in the imperial examination, it's okay for the Xie family to give him some convenience."

This is not his personal likes and dislikes, although the Xie family is a powerful family, they have always been generous in promoting the younger generations, and the old disciples are all over the world.After all, who can tell clearly about personal encounters, and now His Majesty is enlightened and sage, and pays special attention to people from poor families.

Li Dan thought, "It's really a blessing for this little guy to have my husband's words."

Xie Heng still smiled, "I earned all my blessings. He is indeed good. It makes sense to look at him from a young age."

Li Danyi smiled softly, "Well, after he has some grades, my husband must also be promoted at that time. If you are really happy, you might as well accept him as a disciple."

Xie Heng shook his head, thinking of something, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "This little guy is smart, handsome, and has such a free and easy personality. If Master, the old man sees it, he will definitely like very much."

Hearing this, Li Danyi's hand that was pouring the tea trembled, and almost spilled it on her body, but the upbringing she received since she was a child made her calm down quickly, and continued her previous actions dignifiedly.

Husband himself is a direct descendant of the Xie family, Xiande's 17-year second-best Jinshi, second-best, compared to the No. [-] ranking No. [-], it may not sound so good, but this is a legitimate Jinshi and the first!

How many candidates are there every year, how many scholars are there in the world, not to mention millions, there are hundreds of thousands. The imperial examination is held every three years, and the Jinshi and the ranks are only a few dozen people in the end. Most of them are candidates from the south of the Yangtze River. For ordinary aristocrats, it is a big surprise to have one every year.

With such an achievement, teaching a kid from the countryside is already a big compliment!

But, does my husband still want to introduce that little guy to his master? He is a real great Confucian in the world, how many people can't meet him, even Xie's family paid a lot in the first place, so that my husband can successfully worship him It is a teacher.

"Danyi, Fifth Uncle will go to Xuanzhou to investigate the case in a few days, and may transfer to Tong'an. Uncle's whereabouts are top secret. The family members don't need to be restrained these days."

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted, Li Danyi was shocked for a moment, and nodded quickly, "Okay, I will make arrangements."

She naturally knew what kind of character the fifth uncle was mentioned by her husband.

After watching the Lantern Festival on the day of the Lantern Festival, it was already late at night. Fearing that driving in the dark would be dangerous, Liang Feng asked his family to find an inn in the county town to rest.

The next day, the sons and daughters drove the little one home to go to private school. The shops and workshops they were in charge of would officially open tomorrow, and they had to start preparations. He and Yun Qing went straight to Muyunzhuang.

When Liang Feng entered the shop, he didn't feel that his business had deteriorated much. There were still people coming and going, and He Qi and his wife were busy all the time.

During lunch, He Qi took the initiative to mention this "Linlang Pavilion" to him.

Linlang Pavilion was opened yesterday in time for the Lantern Festival. In the morning, when a customer came to buy something, he mentioned a few words to him. He was extremely alert, and immediately went over to take a look after receiving the news, and then said I started to inquire with all my heart.

He Qi's foundation in Tong'an County is shallow, and it's only been half a year, so he didn't hear even a little bit of rumors until the opening of Linlang Pavilion, but after all, he is in charge of this shop that is making money every day. There are some benefits and face.

Now that the incident has happened, those people simply stopped hiding it and said that this is the business of the Hu family. They are greedy for your interests and deliberately opened such a store to squeeze you down.

As soon as He Qi heard that it was the Hu family, he knew that the problem was not small. The cloth and needlework in their shop were all imported from the Hu family. Now that the Hu family insisted on messing with them, it would definitely make things difficult for them.

He originally planned to find someone today to pass the news to Liang Feng as soon as possible, but he didn't expect Liang Feng to come by himself today, which was just right.

After Liang Feng heard about the incident, a few sneers appeared on the corners of his mouth unconsciously, and there seemed to be a faint blue light flickering in the depths of his eyes.

He suddenly remembered what the eldest son's family said casually when they came back from Sujia Village on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

In a village that doesn't even rest for a few days during the Chinese New Year, the Hu family's desperate request to catch up with the goods must have something to do with the current situation.

But there is one thing that is very strange, Liang Feng frowned, "Does the Hu family have any incredible backstage? Doesn't he know that our Muyunzhuang is cooperating with Xuelin Bookstore? He has the courage to dare to talk to the county magistrate Right?"

He Qi reacted quickly, and immediately interjected, "About this, I was also very puzzled at the beginning, so I simply spent a lot of money to bribe a servant of the Hu family, and then inquired about a piece of news."

Liang Feng glanced at him approvingly, indicating to continue.

He Qi's voice became lower and lower, "The concubine of the head of the Hu family went to Fucheng with the head of the Hu family a few years ago, and never came back. It is said that she was given to the magistrate as a concubine. .”

The magistrate is the magistrate of Shuzhou, who is in charge of the government and is a senior official of the fifth rank. Although the Xie family is a wealthy family, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the local snake.

Not to mention, they didn't do anything to Xie's family, their business would not hurt Xuelin Bookstore, only Muyunzhuang.

Liang Feng frowned slightly, hoping that the county magistrate can be trusted. He believes that his business will not be taken away easily, as long as he does not use official power to intervene forcibly.

Power overwhelms people!

On the way home, Yun Qing held his hand by the corner of his clothes and walked silently without speaking, with obvious worry in his eyes.

Liang Feng touched his smooth and smooth face, "Baby, don't worry."

Yun Qing was very frustrated, and complained dissatisfiedly, "I really don't understand, the Hu family is already so rich, but they just don't want to be satisfied, and they will jump on every small profit."

Liang Feng chuckled a few times, "People's hearts will never be satisfied."

Yun Qing sighed, "I'm just worried. The Yun family was also defeated because of this little trick, and then various forces fought against each other."

Liang Feng supported him by the shoulders, calmed and analyzed, "Actually, it's not that terrible. Muyun Village sells all gadgets, and it's inconvenient to do anything, and it's impossible for the magistrate to go to this small place openly." Come to embarrass us, even if something happens one day, if we have to go to court, it is a matter under the jurisdiction of Xie County Magistrate. , To put it bluntly, in the end, it depends on the quality of the goods, depends on the customer, and competes fairly.”

Yun Qing was smart at first, and he understood after listening, but he still puffed his mouth, "It's just that the Hu family came here suddenly, it's too disgusting, and when I usually meet those shopkeepers, they still smile so kindly!"

However, Liang Feng's guess was right, the matter was soon resolved, blessings are covered by misfortunes, and misfortunes depend on blessings.
