When rivals dress as husband and wife

Chapter 66

"What's the good idea, nephew?" Zhang Linyuan frowned when he heard that, if Gu Jiangwan really had some useful solution, it would be considered a solution to his big problem.

Gu Qiaowan straightened up and bowed to King Dingxi, "Will the lord allow this junior to take three steps forward to speak?"

Zhang Linyuan nodded slightly, Gu Qiaowan came over and whispered in his ear, "Does the lord know Zhuohua?"

Zhang Linyuan looked puzzled, the courtiers and even ordinary people with a little knowledge knew about the Zhuohua sword, but Gu Jiangwan's mention of Zhuohua here made him very puzzled.

"Did King Dingxi know the secret of Zhuohua? About water?" Gu Jianwan smiled slightly and left another question. Mrs. Gu told him back then that when the emperor ruled the world, it was a coincidence Meet Zhuohua, a peerless and famous sword.And at that time, the ancestor of King Dingxi happened to be by his side, so Gu Jianwan can be sure that Zhang Linyuan definitely knows the secret of Zhuohua.Fortunately, he knew it well, otherwise he would not be able to make King Dingxi fully trust him.

Gu Jiangwan chose to come to King Dingxi as his first "base" for three reasons. First, the relationship between King Dingxi and Zhao Jian is not good. To be more precise, the relationship between King Dingxi and Zhao Huan is not good. This had already begun to appear before Zhao Huan ascended the throne.After Zhao Huan ascended the throne, the one who rejected the most among the four kings with different surnames was King Dingxi.If the ancestor of King Dingxi had not sacrificed his life to save the emperor, and the king had made it clear that he would not allow future generations to withdraw the title of King Dingxi, Zhao Huan might be the first to attack King Dingxi.Now King Dingxi's army is here to contend with Wuyue, but the reinforcements from the imperial court have not arrived for a long time. The snowstorm in the south made the army unable to arrive as an excuse. It was okay a few days ago, but now I am afraid that even a three-year-old child cannot be fooled.Second, Chang'an is the home base of the Gu family, and a lot of money is hoarded in Chang'an, and the Liangzhou area is the closest continent to Chang'an, so it is very convenient for food and troops to move around; thirdly, Gu Yunxiu and King Dingxi It's relatively easy to get his trust if you make friends.

Sure enough, King Dingxi's pupils shrank suddenly. He knew the secret of the Zhuohua Sword, but the only people in the world who knew about it were the emperors of the past and the King of Dingxi. The person in front of him was just the son of a merchant. , How could even such secrets be clear.

Seeing Zhang Linyuan's dazed face, Gu Jiangwan also secretly smiled inwardly, "Dare to ask my lord, did the younger generation's father ever tell you anything else, something a little strange?"

Zhang Linyuan frowned, and his eyes unconsciously turned elsewhere.Gu Yunxiu did say some strange things to him, but it was too long ago, so he can't remember them now.I can only vaguely remember that he said that maybe there will be a real noble person to see him in the future, and I hope that I will not reject him at that time.At that time, I should have laughed it off, the majestic Prince Dingxi, sitting in several big states in the northwest, he himself is a nobleman, so there is no need for others to meet again.Just thinking about it at this moment, it seems that, could it be that the person in front of him is the person Gu Yunxiu said.

"Does the prince have any impression?" Gu Jiangwan asked softly.

Zhang Linyuan hadn't spoken to him yet, but Gu Jiangwan continued, "Then, does your lord know that Emperor Hongyuan's concubine Qing is actually named Gu Yunqing?"

Zhang Linyuan looked at Gu Jiangwan with dull eyes, countless thoughts turned in his mind, Gu Yunqing, Gu Yunxiu, Zhuo Hua, the words of old friends who kept their heads and tails hidden, Gu Jiangwan kept hinting.Finally, King Dingxi walked up to Gu Jiangwan step by step, knelt down slowly and said, "The old minister sees the second prince."

Gu Jiangwan smiled lightly, with a smile on his face, and stepped forward to help King Dingxi up, "You don't need to be too polite, my lord, it's already my blessing to get this respect from my lord."

"Don't dare." Zhang Linyuan took a few steps back and bowed again, "Can the old minister ask the prince to tell the whole story?"

"nature."

Gu Jiangwan told King Dingxi the whole story, and King Dingxi still had doubts, but when he took out the Zhuohua Sword, King Dingxi no longer had any doubts.As a descendant of Zhang Xianzhong, he already knew the specific shape of the Zhuohua Sword, and even more knew the secret of the Zhuohua Sword turning water into ice.The things that have always appeared in the letters of his father's generation now appear in front of his eyes at this moment, which makes people have to secretly sigh at the wonder of the Burning Brilliant Sword.

The matter has been made very clear, but this is not a good time to announce Gu Jiangwan's identity in the army or even to the whole world. After all, the war is about to break out, and there is no sign of Gu Jiangwan's appearance. No matter how many people will be convinced I know, it's better to keep it a secret, and wait until the battle is over before it's too late.

Gu Jiangwan's progress went smoothly, but for Lin Mu'an, it was not like this.He has never been in contact with business matters since he was a child, and now he has taken over in an instant. It is still such a big business, and the burden on his shoulders can be imagined.In addition, Xiao Gu is only that old, although Mrs. Gu is taking care of him, but he is the father of the child after all, so he can't leave the baby who is still in his infancy alone.So he basically wakes up every morning to inspect the shops, then meets with the housekeepers in various places, and occasionally talks about business with others. Of course, he always brings Uncle Cheng with him at such times.Otherwise, if it is sold, it will have to count the money for others.And at night, he took the child to check the books in the study.

The little baby's eyebrows and eyes have grown, and it is becoming more and more beautiful. Although it is not appropriate to use this word to describe a boy, Lin Mu'an thinks that these two words are more appropriate.Sometimes when he returns home after a tiring day, as long as he sees his son's peaceful sleeping face, he feels that his fatigue has been eliminated.I just want to hold him in my arms and give him a good kiss.

This child is actually very strange, no matter how hard other people hold her and cry, as long as she is in Lin Muan's arms, the tears in her big eyes will be stopped immediately, Lin Muan will feel miraculous when she looks at it.Mrs. Gu often lamented that she raised a little white-eyed wolf, and she worked hard to serve him for nearly two months, but when Lin Muan arrived, the little guy immediately became restless.While complaining, Mrs. Gu couldn't hide the smile on her face. During the days she lived in Chang'an, she met quite a few people, most of whom were introduced by her former friend. When she went out with her little grandson, hearing the compliments from others really made her enjoy it.

"Young Master Lin." Uncle Cheng knocked on the door, "This is a letter of resignation from the shopkeeper of Shanci Pharmacy."

Lin Muan put the child on the newly installed bed in the study, took out the envelope from Uncle Cheng's hand, glanced at it roughly, Lin Muan sneered, and said the same thing again.Since he took office, many people under him have been dissatisfied, and the reason is that they feel that it is unreasonable for a handsome man to be suppressed by an Asian man.Those people even said that if they don't change, they will resign and leave.It's just that Lin Mu'an was not moved by it at all, he was still doing what he should do, no, the first letter of resignation finally arrived.

"Young Master Lin, what do you think we should do?" Cheng Shu stood aside respectfully and asked.

Lin Muan glanced at Uncle Cheng, "Tell him, I'm sure."

Uncle Cheng asked, "How about the final reward?"

"Remuneration?" Lin Muan sneered, "It is he who should pay, not us. It was clearly written in the contract back then. We can agree to resign without reasonable reasons, but there is no reward. Uncle Cheng, you won't Do you think the excuse he gave me is a reasonable reason?"

Uncle Cheng didn't say a word, Lin Mu'an continued, "I know, they want me to give them a raise, so they come here to make such excuses, this person is obviously here to test the waters, if I really give him a salary, the other What if everyone followed suit?"

Uncle Cheng said yes, took the letter and went on, he was just a servant, even though he was an old servant who had served the master for many years, he was still not qualified to question the master's decision.

Sure enough, the next day, the Gu family's pharmacy was in chaos, and many people even came to the door directly. Lin Muan stood at the gate of the Gu family, holding the contract written last night in his hand.A three-foot-long white declaration, on which was written only the sentence "Unreasonable reasons, please resign without remuneration." Lin Muan directly asked someone to hang the white declaration on the door. The words on the top make the people below hate it.

"Mr. Wang's resignation is a reasonable reason." Dozens of people stood and confronted each other, and finally someone spoke. This sentence stirred up thousands of waves with one stone, and people spoke endlessly. Of course, most They all agree with what that person said.

"Really?" Lin Muan laughed coldly, "Then tell me, what is the rationale?"

At this time, another person stood up and said, "We are men who stand up to heaven and earth, why do we need you, a man, to tell us what to do!"

The people below all echoed, Lin Mu'an said, "If I remember correctly, the Zaifu during the Mingzong period was a man, why don't people in the world say that they are dissatisfied, they rebelled, and they want to leave my Great Xia; if I remember correctly , the prince Taifu in Jingzong period was also a man, why didn’t the prince say that he didn’t want to learn how to govern the country from Taifu? Although I can’t compare with Zaifu Taifu, I don’t think I’ve done anything to be sorry to everyone. Why do you bother?"

The people under the steps were silent for a while, Lin Muan looked around for a week and continued, "If you want me to raise my wages, then show your sincerity and strength."

"What sincerity and strength?" After discussing for a long time, someone finally asked.

Lin Muan narrowed his eyes and said, "From next month, we will distribute salaries according to the income of each medical center and pharmacy and the reputation of the surrounding people. However, the price must be set by us uniformly. I will send someone to monitor this. If someone dares to change the price at will, don't blame me for being merciless."

Dozens of people looked at each other, and finally agreed. Uncle Cheng, who was next to him, was relieved to see people leaving one by one. Fortunately, a large-scale strike was not caused.
