I married the sect leader home

An old tree was painted on a small handkerchief, and a handsome boy sat on a low branch.

The young man was dressed in indigo brocade clothes, with his head tilted and resting in his arms, and a pair of clear and smiling eyes looked at somewhere in front of and below.

That gentle and tender appearance seemed to be looking at some treasure.

Cang Ming's painting style is extraordinarily delicate, and every part of the whole painting reveals warmth.

White background, black ink, monotonous color.

There is only one place, which is bright and glaring.

It was a cinnabar mole under the corner of the boy's eye, the size of a needle tip, with bright red rouge as the paint, lightly dabbed on it, it turned into a finishing touch.

The more Zhang Lanyu looked at it, the more he felt that the red was an eyesore.

He asked again: "Who are you drawing?"

Zhang Lanyu looked worried, and looked up at Cang Ming.

"Didn't you say paint for me?"

Which little fairy is this painting!

Cang Ming glanced at the painting on Zhang Lanyu's desk, then raised his head, with suppressed anger mixed with traces of grievance.

"Didn't you also draw me?"

He raised his hand and threw his pen, covered his face and rushed out.

Zhang Lanyu was stunned by this unexpected operation, and froze in place, watching Cang Ming as a little doormat who finally couldn't bear the bullying and broke out.

wronged, pitiful;

Cute and painful.

He shook the ink stains that had been thrown onto his clothes, and his eyes fell back on the painting. The young man's expression was vivid, and his smiling and tender appearance was clearly the mentality of the painter.

A sour feeling suddenly appeared in my heart.

Zhang Lanyu pinched the veil with two fingers and waved it in front of his eyes, the corners of his lips barely curled into a stiff arc.

"...the drawing skills are good."

Children must be properly boasted in order to become talented.

Putting the handkerchief in his arms casually, Zhang Lanyu stepped out of the study, it was time for him to coax the child.

As for the sourness in his heart just now, it was ignored by Zhang Lanyu.

It's just a stranger he just met, how could he really put it in his heart?

Cang Ming's beauty is indeed overwhelming, and he really likes it, but...

Also just liked it.

Superficial likes.

……

"Hey! Isn't this Brother Tian?"

Tian Rongtian came out of the doctor's pharmacy cursing, and bumped into the friend he made a few days ago.

"So it's Brother Hirano."

Tian Rongtian's expression eased a little.

Hirano waved his folding fan gracefully. On the snow-white fan, the four big characters "Looking for Flowers and Asking Willows" are particularly eye-catching.

Hirano looked Tian Rongtian up and down, raised his eyebrows.

"Who is this who offended Brother Tian?"

Tian Rong frowned subconsciously: "Don't mention it, today is really bad luck."

He didn't intend to say those embarrassing things in front of his friends, but he was really panicked and couldn't vomit.

"It's not because of Zhang Lanyu's bitch sister..."

He added fuel, distorted the facts, and portrayed himself as a generous husband who still cared about his wife's safety even though she was cheating on her. He even humiliated him wantonly.

Tian Rongtian vomited out his complaints to Hirano.

"...That's it, such a heartless and unrighteous thing, even let the servants do something to this young master, I'm so mad at this young master!"

Hirano closed the folding fan with a slam, and tapped Tian Rongtian's shoulder with the folding fan with a sympathetic expression on his face.

"Brother Tian has been wronged, let's go, let's have some fun, let's vent all our unhappiness."

"Spring Breeze Pavilion?"

Tian Rong subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed the back of his neck lightly, it still hurt a little, if he went to Chunfeng Pavilion to find girls, why would he play with them on the bed?

Hirano laughed.

"Brother Tian is confused, the girls in Chunfeng Pavilion are still sleeping."

"Then?"

"Thousands of gold gambling house."

……

"Buy big and buy small?"

"Open! Open!"

"big big big!"

"Small! It must be small!"

Qianjin Gambling House is very lively, it is the biggest gambling house in Xiajing City, the boss behind the scenes is very mysterious, it is said that he is a great big shot.

Tian Rongtian and Hirano stepped into Qianjin Casino, as if entering another world.

The passion and roar here, and the wholehearted venting, made Tian Rongtian finally relax his depressed mood. The oppression in his chest seemed to have found a leak, and the feeling of suffocation disappeared little by little, finally letting him relax.

"Master Tian, ​​honored guest! Come, please go upstairs to the private room."

Manager Liu of Qianjin Casino is warm and courteous.

Hirano patted Tian Rongtian on the shoulder.

"Brother Tian, ​​go up and play first, I'll go over later."

Seeing him glance around and rubbing his hands excitedly, Tian Rongtian couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Hirano still likes these gadgets so much."

Hirano's eyes lingered on the gambling tables one by one, and he laughed.

"You know, little brother, I like this one."

Tian Rongtian followed Guanshi Liu upstairs, the upper floor was dedicated to entertaining distinguished guests, and the downstairs was mixed with dragons and snakes, and Hirano quickly blended into the rough and unrestrained gambling table.

He tilted his head slightly, with a focused expression, as if he was listening to the sound of rolling the dice, but no one noticed. He glanced at Tian Rongtian's back from the corner of his eye, and showed a rather strange smile.

Hirano stayed downstairs for more than an hour before going upstairs. When he found Tian Rongtian, he was sweating profusely, staring at the cards in the dealer's hand.

The dealer with a loyal and steady face slowly put down the cards in his hand.

"Take it all."

Tian Rongtian threw out the chips in hand, his eyes were red, and the whites of his eyes were covered with bloodshot like spider webs, which looked really scary.

"One more round!"

"Mr. Tian, ​​your bargaining chips are gone." Guanshi Liu had no choice but to remind.

"Besides, you already owe 1 taels. According to the rules of the gambling house, unless you pay off the 1 taels, you can no longer pay on credit."

Tian Rongtian almost stared out his eyes, and subconsciously roared out.

"1 taels? How is it possible!"

Guanshi Liu winked, and the recorder next to him handed over an account book. He spread it out in front of Tian Rongtian, and the items on it were clearly listed. There was more than 1 taels. face was erased.

Tian Rongtian's face suddenly became very ugly.

The boss behind the Qianjin Gambling House is unknown, and there are people above him, both openly and secretly. If anyone wants to default on his gambling debts, he has to weigh it carefully.

Tian Rongtian gulped down a mouthful of saliva.

"I don't have that much money at the moment, can you give me some grace..."

It was at this time that Hirano uttered his voice, he leaned close to Tian Rongtian's ear, his voice was soft, as if bewitching.

"Brother Tian, ​​don't you have a cloth shop in your hand? The cloth shop is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, why not use the cloth shop to pay off the debt?"

"But..." Tian Rongtian hesitated, "Buzhuang is my mother's dowry."

"But didn't Brother Tian tell me last time that the cloth village has been sent to your name by your mother?"

Hirano's voice was full of persistence and contempt.

"Could it be that Brother Tian is lying to me? The dignified young master of the Tian family can't even get a mere 1 taels of silver, and he is being chased by a thousand gold gambling house... If people spread such rumors, Brother Tian..."

Hirano leaned on the edge of the table with one hand, stared into Tian Rongtian's eyes, and said word by word: "Where is your face?"

Tian Rong's body trembled in consciousness.

Gossip is terrible.

Sometimes gossip can kill.

No blood!

"What's more, although the cloth village has a large area, its location is not good, and its business is not very good. It's better to keep it and lose money in the future."

Hirano almost whispered into Tian Rongtian's ear, as if to prevent Liu Guanshi and the others from hearing.

"Why don't you take the opportunity to sell it for a good price and kill two birds with one stone, Brother Tian, ​​do you think it is right or not?"

Tian Rongtian's mind was chaotic, like a puppet pulled by a string, he nodded involuntarily.

A gloomy color flashed in Hirano's eyes.

"Brother Tian, ​​I still have some money here, you can continue to play with it, and send the boy back to get the land deed, house deed and so on!"

Tian Rongtian moved his lips.

Hirano glanced at him: "Just take something, Brother Tian, ​​don't lose your identity."

"This young man said so."

Manager Liu next to him agreed.

Tian Rongtian lost his ability to think, he agreed to the other party's proposal in a daze, and sat back at the gambling table.

By the time Tian Rongtian left Qianjin Gambling House, he had already lost a large cloth shop and owed the gambling house several thousand taels of silver.

Guanshi Liu put the land deed of Buzhuang and other official contracts in a brocade box and put them away, changed his clothes, and went to Zhang's mansion in person.

"My lord, this is Tian Rongtian's cloth shop on South Street."

Manager Liu respectfully presented the brocade box with both hands to the person in front of him.

"Got it?" Zhang Lanyu lowered his eyes, obviously surprised by the speed, after all, when Tian Rongtian left Zhang's mansion today, his neck was still crooked.

Xing Chui stepped forward to take the brocade box from Guanshi Liu, opened it and put it in front of Zhang Lanyu.

Zhang Lanyu glanced casually, with a slight smile in his eyes, but when he looked carefully, there was no warmth.

He nodded and waved his hand, Xing Chui immediately closed the lid knowingly, took the brocade box away from Zhang Lanyu's eyes, held it with both hands, and obediently stood beside him.

"Thank you, Manager Liu."

"Don't dare, tell my son that this is all due to Hirano." How dare Liu Guanshi take the credit, his son is young, but his methods are astonishing.

Zhang Lanyu picked up the tea and blew it lightly.

Seeing his young master's expression, Xing Chui immediately understood, raised his head and smiled at Guanshi Liu.

"Our young master clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments. Who has done what, what merits and merits have been achieved, young master is very clear in his heart. Liu Guanshi does not need to be modest, it should be your reward, and young master will definitely not miss it."

Guan Liu should be right again and again.

While rejoicing for the upcoming reward, he raised his vigilance in his heart.

What Xing Chui said obviously had something to say.

There are clear rewards and punishments. Since there are rewards, there are of course punishments. If anyone has done something wrong to the young master, the punishment must be...

Liu Guanshi secretly shook his head in his heart, anyway, he would not do anything to offend the young master.

Lucky?Of course not, I didn't hear Xing Chui say "Young master is very clear", this is not just a casual talk.

His thoughts flew away, and Liu Guanshi hurriedly pulled him back. He couldn't be rude in front of the young master.

Xing Chui led Liu Guanshi to receive the reward, Zhang Lanyu put down the teacup in his hand, and tapped the brocade box lightly with his fingers.

"Duk, duk, duk..."

The rhythmic voice made Zhang Lanyu's thinking clearer. He quickly recalled the news about Buzhuang that he found earlier in his mind, and a series of money-making plans were quickly formed and deduced in his mind.

That's right, Zhang Lanyu deliberately designed Tian Rongtian to get the cloth village. How could he give money to someone who violated his sister?

Take him 1000 taels?Then he will get it back ten times.

He, Zhang Lanyu, is not a merciful person.

Tian Rongtian's cloth village is now owned by him, and the name must be changed first.

But this is not urgent, the first thing to solve is the source of cloth Zhuang raw materials.

The business of the cloth shop is bleak, which is related to the poor quality of the cloth and the lack of new ideas. If you want to revive the cloth shop, you must find a good source of goods.

The bright and beautiful face of Liu Ruoyue, the eldest daughter of the Liu family appeared in Zhang Lanyu's mind.

Although the Liu family deals in medicinal materials, it is also involved in other industries.

Especially the weaving workshop run by Liu Ruoyue is famous far and wide.

There are hundreds of embroiderers under her control, not only in the lower capital, but also in the upper capital hundreds of miles away, there are dignitaries who come to order.

Currently, Liu Ruoyue's Embroidery Village is competing for the qualification of an imperial merchant, and no surprises, there will be results within this year.

Zhang Lanyu thought about the fabric industry in Xiajing City that was almost monopolized by Liu Ruoyue, competing with her was obviously overthinking.

Therefore, even if a source of supply is found, it may not be easy to carve up the meat in Liu Ruoyue's hands.

Zhang Lanyu's eyes drooped, it seemed that he had to find another way.

In fact, the fabric business is already saturated in the current market, and it is not very useful to make patterns.

Zhang Lanyu glanced down at the clothes he was wearing, and a flash of light flashed in his mind.

Tailor shop!

Liu Ruoyue has high-quality fabrics and a handy embroiderer, why doesn't he cooperate with them and sell ready-made clothes exclusively?

This market is still in the development stage. After all, poor people do not have extra spare money to find tailors and embroiderers, all of which are done by themselves.

Not to mention rich and noble families, who only find famous embroiderers to customize clothes, or simply raise a group of people in the mansion to serve them.

Therefore, although this market has just started, it is not easy to develop it.

But Zhang Lanyu already had a rough plan in mind.

The future of ready-to-wear must be held in his hands!

Zhang Lanyu immediately wrote a post and ordered someone to send it to Liu Ruoyue in the Liu Mansion.

……

"Miss, Mr. Zhang from the Zhang Mansion sent a post for you."

The maid Taozi, who was wearing a lotus-colored dress, ran into the young lady's yard with a post in one hand and a skirt in the other.

Liu Ruoyue was pruning flower branches, seeing Taozi who was in a hurry, she couldn't help scolding: "Young lady, you are so rude, what do you look like?"

Taozi stopped instantly, let go of the skirt in her hand, and moved lightly with lotus steps...

Liu Ruoyue glanced at her, her eyelids twitched.

"Forget it, come here quickly."

Taozi laughed, lifted her skirt and ran over.

As if asking for credit, he handed the invitation to the young lady.

Xindao: Miss also said that I was rude, obviously I learned it from you.

Thinking of the lady who was once as gentle as water, a lady, and dignified, Tao Zi felt uncomfortable.

If it wasn't for that heartless Mr. Wen, how could the young lady use such a self-destructive reputation to discourage those young masters?

Miss is nineteen this year, for the sake of Mr. Wen, she is going to turn herself into an old lady!

Tao Zi is very displeased with Mr. Wen.

Now, Mr. Zhang Lanyu from the Zhang Mansion sent a post to invite Miss, she is very happy.

As for Zhang Lanyu, she and Miss met once at the Lantern Festival last year.

She still clearly remembered Mr. Zhang's extraordinary temperament and his unparalleled handsome appearance... How do literati describe it?

By the way, it is as bright as a jade tree before the wind.

The end is called "stunning"!

Tao Zi shook her head, suddenly sobered up, and suddenly realized that the last adjective was a little... Meng Lang for a little girl like her.

oops!It's all the fault of the young lady, she's so good-looking, she ruined her own reputation, and let her follow suit.

While Taozi was thinking wildly, Liu Ruoyue had already read the invitation card sent by Zhang Lanyu, and slowly closed it, while frowning slightly, guessing Zhang Lanyu's intention of coming.

Taozi blinked her bright eyes.

"Miss, you've seen that young master before, he looks good, why don't you accept it?"

The little girl pursed her lips and smiled teasingly.

"The master mentioned to you two days ago that the Zhang family intends to propose marriage to us, and asked you to think about it. How do you think about it?"

"If you want me to tell you, miss, don't wait for Wen Shaojin, that heartbroken man. Mr. Zhang is much better than him, and he is a good match."

Liu Ruoyue ignored the little girl until she heard this sentence and sneered.

"Zhang Lanyu? That's a cold-hearted person, how can there be a good match?"

Taozi slowly rounded her almond eyes.

Fickle and cool?This... how to say?
