Prodigal Goro-kun

The first meeting of the Chamber of Commerce on the first day ended in an ambiguous conversation among the people. The problems that should be solved were not resolved, and the things that should be discussed were not discussed.After a group of people had lunch together on the painting boat like a routine, they left separately.

After Feng Yu and the others tactfully dismissed the crown prince and the ninth prince, they dragged Yan Sheng back to the painting boat hall.

"Patriarch Yan, why did the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince join the Chamber of Commerce?" Feng Yu couldn't help asking.

Yan Sheng, who was pushed back to his seat, looked up and found that most of the people sitting in the innermost circle were still sitting on their seats with sad faces.Yan Sheng looked around again, only to find that Yan Qiuer was gone.

"Yuan Xu." Ignoring Feng Yu's question, Yan Sheng frowned and called Yuan Xu to come in.

"Master." Yuan Xu was taken aback as soon as he entered the door.Why haven't these Patriarchs left yet?Look at their faces... Did something happen?

Yan Sheng looked left and right again, and said: "Put down the bamboo curtains on all sides, and the people outside will leave after packing up. Don't let people see that there are still people left in the painting boat."

spy?This is the first time since the Chamber of Commerce.

Yuan Xu's complexion changed, and he cupped his hands and said: "Yes, my lord, I will arrange it now."

Seeing Yuan Xu turn around and leave, Yan Sheng hurriedly called Yuan Xu to stop, and asked, "Where's Qiuer?"

Yuan Xu was taken aback for a moment, turned around and opened the curtain to take a look outside, then heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and answered Yan Sheng, "Pavilion Master Yan just went out with the flow of people, and he is still on the bank of the Luo River. Is the master coming in?"

"...Mmm." Yan Sheng hesitated for a moment, then looked at the people on the left and right, and finally ordered.

Yuan Xu answered yes, and hurried to call Yan Qiuer.

After a while, Yan Qiuer opened the curtain and stepped into the hall again, but Qian Wu and Lan Feng were nowhere to be seen.

Yan Sheng raised his eyebrows, waved to Yan Qiuer, and asked, "Where are those two people?"

Yan Qiuer bowed to the people in the hall, and then walked towards Yan Sheng, but her pace was extremely slow, and she walked around the edge of the hall, looking outside while walking, not saying anything. Forgot to answer Yan Sheng's question: "Send the two of them to do something."

Seeing Yan Qiuer staring at somewhere outside, Yan Sheng asked suspiciously, "What are you looking at?"

"Yi Family and Zuo Family." These are the only two Patriarchs in the innermost circle who are not present at this time.

"Have you found anything?" Yan Sheng raised his eyebrows.

"Hmm..." Yan Qiuer frowned, "Is there any? It's not as expected."

It seems that Qiu Er sent Qian Wu and Lan Feng to investigate to verify his conjecture.

Since someone went to inquire, it is useless for him to care about it at this time, so Yan Sheng patted the seat next to him, and said to Yan Qiuer: "Come and sit."

Only then did Yan Qiuer look back, and found that he had already walked beside Yan Sheng, and then looked at the other people in the hall who had been watching them curiously, Yan Qiuer looked slightly embarrassed, and said, "I'll find out by myself. Just sit somewhere and don’t disturb your business discussions.”

Yan Sheng pursed his lips and looked straight at Yan Qiuer.

Yan Qiuer, who wanted to find a place to sit down, couldn't bend his legs and scratched his head, so he had to follow Yansheng's wishes and sit behind Yansheng where Fang Yao was sitting just now.

The bamboo curtains on all sides were lowered one by one, and the whole hall was plunged into darkness.

"Ah Sheng, you and your boy seem to be plotting something." Patriarch Wu, who had been silent since the beginning of the meeting, suddenly spoke.

As soon as Patriarch Wu opened his mouth, the rest of the people sat upright in an instant, bowing their heads respectfully.

Yan Sheng remained silent.

Patriarch Wu continued: "If you don't speak, is it acquiescing?"

Yan Sheng remained silent.

Patriarch Wu's voice became colder again, and said: "Ah Sheng, you were pushed into the shopping mall by Mrs. Yan when you were seven or eight years old. Although you are only 28 or [-] now, you are the senior of many people here. , You should know better than them how difficult it is for merchants to make a living."

"...Well, I understand." Yan Sheng replied in a deep voice.

Patriarch Wu nodded, but his tone was still so serious that it was a little scary: "Then you also know that our relationship with the housekeeper is not that simple. As a merchant, if you have money, the housekeeper can still be kind to you when he is in a good mood." A few cents, but if you don’t have any money, you have to bear with it even if the housekeeper casually says it will ruin your family business.”

"I understand." Yan Sheng was still listening to the training.

"Ah Sheng, those who have money, don't forget those who don't. It's not for the so-called morality, it's the way of life." Patriarch Wu tilted his head and looked at Yan Sheng meaningfully.

"I understand what Patriarch Wu said."

Do you understand?Patriarch Wu gave Yan Sheng a sneaky look, and continued, "Then, Ah Sheng, what's going on with the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince?"

Yan Sheng thought for a while, then said: "Political matters. Cathay Pacific, the people are safe, and the people are safe, and there are business opportunities. Just in Chang'an, you can't get away from yourself, but you won't hurt others."

When Yan Sheng said this, everyone present probably guessed what was going on.

"It turns out the sky is about to change." Patriarch Cen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Ah Sheng is young after all, and has extraordinary courage."

Feng Yu sneered, and said mockingly in his tone: "Anyone who sees a mountain of gold under their noses will want to knock off two pieces of gold and hold them in their hands. Even if the family is rich, it can't match the power. Then The Yi family and the Zuo family are also involved in this matter, right?"

Yan Sheng was silent again.

Patriarch Cen and Patriarch Wu looked at each other, and then said: "Ah Sheng, as the patriarch of the Yan family and the leader of the business world, you should know that every decision you make is of great importance. You have always admired me like Patriarch Feng. Your people, but you are the only one who follows the lead."

"I know……"

Yan Qiuer, who had listened for a long time, gritted his teeth, suddenly interrupted Yan Sheng, raised his head and said with a smile: "The Yan family's affairs are naturally resolved by the Yan family. If you don't ask today, the owner of the Yan family didn't intend to talk about it with you." Listen, everyone, after all, anyone who hears such a thing will be frightened, and no one needs help from the left and right, so why bother?

Patriarch Cen said that there are seniors in the business world who follow Patriarch Yan's lead, but no one is a fool. If there is a chance to make money, someone will follow, but when it comes to losing their lives, who will take the pole and force it?When to follow and when not to follow, I think you have your own steelyard in your heart.What's more, there is only one life, everyone has to be precious, does Patriarch Cen say this is the reason?

Qiu'er is a junior, and also a junior, so I shouldn't say too much.It's just that Patriarch Yan is not good at words, but this matter is too difficult to explain clearly, and there are only a handful of people who know about it, so Qiu Er just said a few more words. If you offend Patriarchs, please forgive me. "After that, Yan Qiuer kowtowed to make amends.

Although Yan Qiuer suddenly spoke up, this behavior was a bit over the top, but Yan Qiuer's words were decent, and finally apologized, not to mention Yan Sheng's face, how could they open their mouths to blame?So after Yan Qiuer finished speaking, Patriarch Wu and Patriarch Cen both shut up, acting as if they hadn't said anything before.

The rest of the people also had different expressions.

Yan Qiuer straightened up, raised her head, still smiling, and seeing that no one was talking, she said, "As for the crown prince and the ninth prince, Qiu'er thinks that you don't need to worry about it. The prince wants to make a difference, so he intervened However, what he can intervene in is limited to what he can do. The prince may not understand what is really related to business, and the part he understands is also a problem that we cannot solve, such as the pirates in the South China Sea. , this matter..." Yan Qiuer's words suddenly stopped, his eyes rolled, he didn't know whether he should say the next thing, what to say, how to word it.

Yan Sheng glanced at Yan Qiuer, then took the conversation, and said: "Jiangnan Road is a place rich in grain and rice in Tianlan Kingdom, and the coastal defense is empty. It would be a good thing if the prince reports this matter. It's just that it may not be possible in the short term. Solved, I advise everyone to evacuate inland for a while, and it’s okay to go back after the matter is resolved.”

Luo Shi lowered his eyes and smiled: "What Patriarch Yan said is true, the purpose of the pirates' invasion this time is not pure, and Luo also advises you not to make private deals with pirates like in previous years, otherwise you will lose your wife and lose your army." .”

Feng Yu raised his eyebrows, turned to look at Luo Shi, and said: "I forgot that the Luo family is famous for wine, but they are still doing shipping. Since Patriarch Luo said so, what news did he get?"

Luo Shi rushed to Feng Yu with a mysterious smile, and said: "I can't say, otherwise the Lingnan coast will not be able to continue to be peaceful."

What kind of deal did the Luo family make with the pirates?Yan Qiuer suddenly remembered the fact that Patriarch Luo was kidnapped to the islands in the South China Sea some time ago, and wondered if it was time to spy.

Now that the Crown Prince, Huai'an King, and Ninth Princes are all gathered together, the struggle between the three is inevitable, but what should be arranged in order to win the throne must be arranged. If we can know the intention of the group of pirates going north, maybe Still can take advantage of it.

Xiu Niang suddenly giggled, and said: "You men, you just like to ask for trouble. I think it doesn't make any difference whether the two Highnesses are present or not. When they are away, the main event of the Chamber of Commerce is not in our gossip. Even if they get together, they just talk about innocuous things. No one will talk about real business opportunities and economics, but they just recognize new people. Isn't this the highlight of the next big episode?

But they are here, so they talk about things that need them to do, even if the Ninth Prince doesn't seem to be doing a proper job, but he has come, and he will not give all the credit to the prince, right?If those two compete for merit, they may solve many of our problems.

You guys, it's just uncomfortable being watched by others, why are you talking so seriously?

The slave will not mess with you. "

After finishing speaking, Xiu Niang got up and slipped out cautiously.She is an embroiderer who makes clothes for others, and those natural disasters, pirates, etc. can't hinder her business, so what does she care about so much?

As soon as Xiu Niang left, a few more like Xiu Niang got up and left without being affected by their business.
