Farmhouse is so old

"Ziyu, are you really leaving?" In the private room of a good restaurant in Shangjing, Ying Linfeng poured wine for Cheng Ziyu and asked repeatedly.

The one named Cheng Ziyu didn't speak, his eyes were only on the bustle of people below the restaurant.Shangjing was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and this place happened to be the most prosperous restaurant in Shangjing——Yuexianglou.

The upper floor is for VIPs, and generally powerful people cannot go to the private rooms in Yuexiang Tower, so those who can get in this private room are all very expensive.

Cheng Ziyu thought to himself, if it wasn't for Ying Linfeng, he wouldn't be able to get into this private room.

The private room is extremely elegant, each piece of wood is carved from peach wood, with various flowers, birds, grass carp carved on it, and each piece of wood has a different style.

According to the shopkeeper of Yuexianglou, none of these pieces of wood are repeated, and hundreds of them were hired by carpenters alone when they were built.So every damaged piece is worth a thousand gold.Of course, this daughter is mixed with some water. No matter how exquisitely carved a piece of peach wood is, it will not cost much. It's just that every piece of carving on it can correspond to each other, and more thought has been spent.

Cheng Ziyu touched the table where he was eating with his fair and slender hands again.This table is made of high-quality huanghuali. It is a pity that it is used for eating like this.

The patterns on it are very beautiful, like flowing clouds and flowing water, which is pleasing to the eye.I remember that my father also had a desk made of huanghuali. It would be very distressing to put a few drops of ink on it. This time, Yuexianglou took it out as a dining table carelessly.

Sure enough, the imperial merchants were really rich, and even the families of the eight major merchants couldn't be so rich.Cheng Ziyu sighed in his heart, Cheng Jiagui was the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, and he only had a little money when he came to Shangjing.

Ying Linfeng waited anxiously for Cheng Ziyu's reply, but saw that he just lowered his head and did not reply.I scratched my head in distress, not knowing what to do.

Cheng Ziyu didn't care how anxious Ying Linfeng was, he just picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, then continued to think about his own affairs with his head down.

"Sure enough, the things in Yuexianglou are not ordinary." The clear aroma of the wine filled the taste buds, unlike ordinary wines that are spicy and tasteless.The wine was slightly bitter at first, but after drinking it, the tip of the tongue began to return to sweetness, and there was a sweet taste.

When Ying Linfeng heard Cheng Ziyu speak, he was overjoyed: "If you like Ziyu, I will bring you to Yuexiang Tower every day from now on."

After Cheng Ziyu heard this, the tip of his tongue, which was already permeated by the aroma of wine, became slightly bitter again.Sure enough, compared with the high bar of the wealthy family, the family of merchants is still far enough away. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants will always be lowly merchants.

For a family of wealthy businessmen like Chengjia, they have to make reservations in advance to come to Yuexianglou. The shopkeeper said that there are vacancies on that day, so they can come on that day. Cheng Ziyu, the future Lord, can come whenever he wants. It really is an insurmountable gap.

"I can't go back, my parents have kicked me out of the family." It took Cheng Ziyu a long time to express his heart.

"Ah? How could your uncle and aunt kick you out of the family? I'm afraid it was just an angry word. You must be messing around again. Go home and apologize to them."

Ying Linfeng was a little surprised, there were only three sons in the family, two boys, and one elder brother, and Cheng Ziyu was that elder brother.Usually, Aunt Cheng and Uncle Cheng dote on Zi Yu, so how could they drive him out of the house?

Ying Linfeng grew up in the south of the Yangtze River since he was a child, and he and Cheng Ziyu can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and he is the clearest about his family's affairs.

Cheng Ziyu poured himself another glass of wine, and after drinking it all, he reluctantly said, "This time is different, it's because I quarreled with my eldest brother and my second brother."

Ying Linfeng was even more puzzled. Since he was a child, Cheng Ziyu had quarreled with his elder brother and his second brother, so why was it different.

When they were young, they caught and roasted the precious goldfish raised at home. Although their uncles and aunts were angry, they didn't punish them. The elder brother and the second elder brother even helped to say good things. Now they have changed in less than a year?

Ying Linfeng couldn't believe it, Cheng Ziyu was usually good at coaxing people, and made his uncle and aunt happy, how could he be kicked out of the house suddenly, he is not an unfavored bastard, Cheng Ziyu is a serious son What about the son-in-law of Jing.

"But I was kicked out." Seeing that Ying Linfeng didn't believe it, Cheng Ziyu lowered his head and muttered to himself.

Ying Linfeng scratched his head, thinking that Cheng Ziyu usually likes to joke with him, this meeting might also scare himself, so he won't be fooled, and said with a smile: "Ziyu, are you playing tricks on me again, don't make trouble, come on Let's continue to drink, the wine in Yuexianglou is famous for its good wine."

After hearing this, Cheng Ziyu's pupils closed tightly, he looked at Ying Linfeng with a serious face, and said solemnly: "I didn't make trouble, I meant what I said, I! Cheng Ziyu! I was kicked out of the family!"

"No, why is that? How could you be kicked out when you are so good." Ying Linfeng felt that his head was not enough, and he scratched his head but couldn't think of the reason.

Cheng Ziyu lay on the huanghuali with blurred eyes, and with a silly smile in his eyes, said: "Because I like someone, they don't allow it."

Cheng Ziyu was already seven or eight points drunk at this meeting, he was not very strong at drinking, but after drinking so much Yuexiang wine just now, his stamina has already picked up.Crossed his hands, crawled on his arms with his head sideways, staring straight at Ying Linfeng.

Fall in love with someone?who is it?Ying Linfeng became dazed, would Cheng Ziyu fall in love with someone else? He frowned and asked anxiously: "Who is it?"

"Cheng...Hai." Before Cheng Ziyu finished speaking, he passed out drunk and passed out.This month's fragrant wine has the strongest stamina, Cheng Ziyu seldom drinks alcohol, and he may not be able to wake up from this drunk until tomorrow.

"Cheng Minghai?" Before hearing Cheng Ziyu's explanation, Ying Linfeng guessed this person.

"Cheng Minghai! I·#￥%~·#￥Mom, if you dare to steal someone from me, just wait!"

Ying Linfeng will be very angry now, he and Cheng Ziyu have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, but they never thought Cheng Minghai would be cut off from him after only a year of separation, how can he not be angry.

Thinking of seeing Cheng Ziyu loving others in the future, Ying Linfeng's heart throbbed, wishing he could kill Cheng Minghai at sea and tear Cheng Minghai to pieces.

But even if he was beaten to death, Ziyu wouldn't like herself!what's the function?Ying Linfeng's face was full of bitterness, and when he turned his head and thought that his uncle and aunt would rather drive Ziyu out of the house than Cheng Ziyu marry Cheng Minghai, Ying Linfeng felt joyful again.

Really well done, as long as Cheng Ziyu doesn't return to the Cheng family, the old lady who values ​​birth most in the Cheng family will definitely not agree to this marriage.

During this period of time, I must take good care of Ziyu and try to win him back.

The next day, Cheng Ziyu woke up groggy, and saw himself in the wing room of Yuexiang Building, only to realize that he was drunk yesterday, probably Ying Linfeng had greeted Yuexiang Building.

Still a little dizzy, the servant waiting outside heard the commotion inside and knew that the distinguished guest had woken up, so he quickly ordered everyone to prepare their things, and then knocked on the door.

Cheng Ziyu looked at the crowd, those who served sober soup, those who took clothes, and those who prepared water for washing were lined up in front of him.

"This..." Cheng Ziyu took a deep breath. He heard his mother say that the high-ranking officials in Beijing were like this. He still didn't believe it. He didn't expect to appear in front of him in such a real way now. enjoy it.

In fact, Cheng Ziyu didn't know that this was not the custom of Yuexiang Building, but was specially arranged by Ying Linfeng, who knew that Cheng Ziyu misunderstood, thinking that Yuexiang Building often had hangover guests staying overnight, that's why it happened.

After being served and washed, Cheng Ziyu's personal servant appeared, holding a large stack of ledgers in his hand, panting and said to Cheng Ziyu, "Master, this is all the ledgers of Huichuntang."

Cheng Ziyu was kicked out by the Cheng family, but he was also the son of the married family after all, so his father still gave him some of the family property, giving him the Huichun Hall.This time, Chuntang has been running poorly all year round, and my father wanted to sell it long ago, but he never found an opportunity. If he hadn't been too stubborn, this time, Chuntang would not have fallen into his hands.

Thinking about it, Cheng Ziyu cheered up. Now that he has left the family, don't think about the past glory and wealth, everything has to start again.

Cheng Ziyu opened the account book, typed quickly on the abacus with one hand, and wrote notes with the brush in the other hand.It's just that the more he counted, the more his frown became tighter. The expenditure and income were completely out of proportion. After the calculation, he checked it again carefully and checked the source.

"How can there be such a big gap between purchasing medicinal materials and making medicinal materials?" Cheng Ziyu asked the boy, pointing to the place he had calculated.

This young man is called Cheng Rong, he is the son of Cheng's family, he was raised to be Cheng Ziyu's assistant since he was a child, he can be regarded as Cheng Ziyu's confidant.

"Master, the source of this piece has always been very big. The main reason is that the medicinal materials are collected from various places, and then processed in various pharmacies before they can be turned into medicines. There will be a lot of loss." Cheng Rong looked at it. Glancing at the ledger, he explained to Cheng Ziyu in a low voice.

Cheng Ziyu thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, is it also the case in other pharmacies?"

"Yes, but other pharmacies recruit people every year. It's not like you don't know about our family. The master wants to resell it. It's just that we haven't found a buyer for a while, so we haven't recruited people anymore."

Cheng Ziyu nodded after listening, stopped talking, and carefully turned over the ledger again.

"Hey, the income of this small pharmacy is still on the rise in the past few months." Cheng Ziyu looked at the account book. Many of the big pharmacies in front of him can barely maintain, but this small pharmacy is showing signs of recovery. Monthly income has an upward trend, which can't help but make him curious.

Although this benefit is nothing, compared to other pharmacies, it must have its own unique features.

"Cheng Rong, go and tidy up, we'll go to Wenshui County right away." Cheng Ziyu ordered, and Cheng Rong went out to prepare.

"I'd like to see what you can do to revive the dead." Cheng Ziyu looked at the account book, seeing that it had been unable to make ends meet, but the business has been very good in the past two months, so he decided to pay attention to it.

After Ying Linfeng knew that Cheng Ziyu was going to leave, he followed Cheng Ziyu with his own burden.
