Master of Rebirth

Chen Xiu couldn't get used to Wang Qi, and had corrupted him behind his back for several years.Dong Jue was very clear about the reason.For this brother-in-law, he also felt helpless.

Four years ago, Pingyao County organized a caravan to go to Shuzhong. Dong Jue was going to go with the caravan to collect a batch of goods. fruits, and bring back some rare ones by the way.

Dong Jue originally agreed, but Wang Qi firmly disagreed when she found out that he was going to Shuzhong.The reason is that I feel that there is going to be a war over there, and it is not safe to go at this time.

Although there were some small frictions between Tubo and Daliang at that time, the relationship between Tubo and Daliang had eased on the surface.There are rumors in the gossip that the two countries will marry each other, and they will have a good relationship for a hundred years.In the eyes of many people, a strike and truce is a certainty, but Dong Jue naturally didn't believe it.

But what Wang Qi said was categorical, thinking that he has unique insights on many things, just like a prophet, and there is also a third uncle who is an official in the capital, so the news is inevitably better than others.Dong Jue was a little hesitant. Seeing that the caravan was about to leave, Dong Jue was really unsure, so he went back to discuss with Dong Chen.

When the two brothers thought about it, they both felt that life was the most important thing, and the matter of earning money could be discussed slowly.Unexpectedly, this delay really saved lives.A month later, the caravan in Pingyao County was attacked by a large number of bandits in central Shu. All the goods were robbed, and none of them came back.It was later learned that the bandits were the advance troops disguised as Tubo soldiers.Also because of this incident, the Tubo and Daliang armies officially took over the fire, and the fight lasted for four years.

Of course, Wang Qi didn't know that Tubo would send troops ahead of time, but because Dong Jue died in Shuzhong in his previous life, he was very afraid of him going there, so he tried his best to stop him.

Having recovered their lives, Dong Jue and Dong Chen are naturally grateful to Wang Qi.But I don't know where Chen Xiu heard the news, insisting that Wang Qi was against him and broke his business many times.From then on, Chen Xiu and Wang Qi did not get along, and always spoke ill of him behind his back.In addition, Wang Qi fell out with her family later, and without her backer and support, Chen Xiu became even more confident.

Fortunately, the two of them seldom met each other. Although Wang Qi knew about Chen Xiu's slander behind her back, seeing that Dong Jue didn't have the same knowledge as him, they lived in peace.For this reason, Dong Jue always felt that he owed Wang Qi.

"My brother-in-law drank too much, and I hope that Mr. Li will not be offended." Dong Jue smiled and apologized to Mr. Li on Chen Xiu's behalf.

How Chen Xiu is, Mr. Li naturally knows.He didn't invite Chen Xiu in the first place, but he came here uninvited, and in front of so many guests, he was too embarrassed to go outside.Now that Dong Jue sent people away for him, Li Daguan was naturally happy, and said with a smile: "Young Master Dong, don't mind, hurry up and take your seat, the girls will be here in a while, let's enjoy the dance."

"Second Master Dong, sit here." The others followed suit.

Dong Jue quickly took his seat on the steps, and not long after, the singers came on stage.The beautiful singing and dancing quickly diluted the unhappiness just now.

Chen Xiu returned home with a face full of gloom. Seeing that he came back so soon, Chen Dong couldn't help being surprised: "Why did Mr. Xiang come back so early? The dinner party is over?"

"Let's talk about it." Chen Xiu said with a sullen face: "I just passed by, and I haven't had two glasses of wine. Your good brother insisted that I was drunk and dragged me back."

Chen Dong said angrily: "Why is Dong Jue so ignorant? My brother-in-law is in trouble. He doesn't say to help, but rushes to slow down. No, I have to tell my parents tomorrow, so that they can take care of him. .”

"What's the use of telling them? Your younger brother has grown up and his wings are hardened. He can ignore the words of the elders." Chen Xiu took off his coat and threw it on the bed, and said angrily: "After I leave, why don't you pay attention?" I don’t know how your brother arranges me with Mr. Li.”

Chen Dong hurriedly sat beside Chen Xiu, and said, "Although my younger brother is headstrong, he wouldn't cheat his brother-in-law like this. Why don't we prepare a gift and go to Mr. Li's house tomorrow."

"Hey, I've looked for him several times. He either used words to perfuse me, or he just avoided seeing people." Chen Xiu said sourly, "Dr. Li has high eye sockets, and he doesn't like a small family like us. .”

Although disappointed in her heart, Chen Dong still cheered up and comforted her: "Don't bother me, my husband. If it doesn't work, I will go back to my mother's house tomorrow, and I beg my parents to let my elder brother help us find a way. My parents will not refuse .”

"Farewell." Chen Xiu lay on the bed and rolled her eyes angrily, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law have nothing to say to me, but the two elders don't care after all. Now the business of the Dong family is in your elder brother's hands." In the hand, which time did he not do one thing to the face and another to the back? He promised well in front of his father-in-law, but turned around and turned his back on him. Forget it, I, Chen Xiu, am not a person who judges the face, since they are not willing to help I, I won't put my face on someone's cold buttocks, and rush to find shame."

Chen Dong couldn't help but said: "Then what are you going to do? The business in the store is not getting better day by day. We bought those apples with real money. If they can't be sold, they will definitely rot in the store." .”

"Don't worry, look at the season, the apples will go down soon, and next summer, the watermelons in Niu Daguan's garden will definitely make us a lot of money. We just need to grit our teeth and get through this time." Chen Xiudao: "Do you still remember the one named Hu? A few years ago, he came to Pingyao County, and we entertained him in Orchid Garden."

Chen Dongshi had an impression of that person, and hurriedly said: "Of course I remember, that person is very greedy. Last time he came to Pingyao County, he did not miss us."

"I heard that he got involved with the imperial court and did business with the military. The military spends a lot of money. If we can catch up with him and sell our apples to the military, the market will open up." Chen Xiu said: " Take a look at the Wang family, they just hooked up with the military and made a lot of money."

Chen Dong's eyes lit up, and he said, "Hey, this is an idea, what is Xianggong going to do?"

"I've already written to invite Boss Hu to come over. When he comes, we will naturally treat him well." Chen Xiu said as it should: "Food is enough, wine is enough, beauties are enough. As long as he is comfortable serving him, Can you not accept our love and do business with us?"

Chen Dong said with a smile: "There is still a way."

When the couple thought about it together, they both felt that this method was very clever, so they happily prepared to welcome Hu Cai.

In a few days, Hu Cai was really invited.

"Brother Hu, long time no see, please take a seat." Chen Xiu graciously supported Hu Cai to sit down, and greeted Xiao Er with a smile.

In the past few years, Hu Cai only had some contact with Chen Xiu occasionally, but not much.Knowing that Chen Xiu would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and writing to invite him, he must be asking for something.Since Hu Cai took the military's goods route, many businessmen have asked him to bring goods.Hu Cai was used to eating and drinking around.Upon receiving the invitation, he happily went to the appointment.As for whether the deal can be negotiated, it's a later story.

Accepting Chen Xiu's flattery calmly, Hu Cai said: "Brother Chen wrote a letter to ask my brother to come over, saying that there is a profitable business, but what kind of business is it?"

"We haven't seen each other for so long, let's drink first, and we'll talk about business matters later." Chen Xiu poured wine for Hu Cai.

In order to coax Hu Cai to come, Chen Xiu lied in the letter.Naturally, he didn't dare to play rogue to Hu Cai like he did to his brother-in-law. He just wanted to eat and drink first, and then take the opportunity to discuss business after making people happy.

How could Hu Cai fail to see Chen Xiu's careful thinking, since there was a deal of good food and drink, he would naturally not refuse.

"Okay, I haven't seen Mr. Chen for a while, today we only talk about friendship, not business." Hu Cai picked up his wine glass and said with a smile.

After that, there is a staggering of toasts and cups, pushing cups and changing cups.Seeing that Hu Cai really only talked about friendship and never mentioned business matters, Chen Xiu panicked instead.Halfway through drinking, Chen Xiu saw that Hu Cai was happy, so she took the opportunity to ask for help.

"Since my brother can find my brother, it shows that I have some vision." Although Hu Cai was a little drunk, his mind was very clear.

He laughed, and said with his tongue out: "But our friendship is friendship, and business is business. Knowing that my brother and I got involved in the business of the court, many fruit merchants rushed to deliver things to me. There is no benefit, no one. I am willing to contribute my efforts in vain. Now the war between our Daliang and Tubo is over, and the army has to retreat. Some time ago, they notified me to send a last batch of fruits there. This is a rare opportunity, and many people are staring at him eagerly. That's right. Apple's market is so bad this year, if Boss Chen wants to accept this business, he has to show some sincerity."

Seeing that Hu Cai had spoken, it was the last chance, and it was a one-shot deal.Chen Xiu immediately said: "As long as Boss Hu can help my brother and I broker this business, even if you want the moon in the sky, I will pick it off for you."

"Although I don't dare to think about the moon in the sky, I've seen the moon on the ground, so it's not unusual." Hu Cai waved his hand and said, "It's not that my brother is bragging, I've been tired of other people's flattery over the years. Brother, let me see some fresh ones."

Chen Xiu didn't know what Hu Cai wanted, and she was afraid that it would be a mess if she decided to make the decision without authorization, so she couldn't help but wonder: "My little brother has little knowledge, what is new, please tell me clearly?"

"Fine wine, delicious food, and beautiful women are all common, and they are not new." Hu Cai said, "Have you heard of Yangzhou skinny horse?"

"Yangzhou skinny horse?" Hu Cai was taken aback.

Hu Cai sighed, and said: "I went to Nanyue country to do goods some time ago, and I saw the brothel there. The men there are more charming than the women, and they have a special flavor when they sleep. After returning to Daliang, I have been obsessed with it. It's a pity that the folk customs here are too It's too rigid, and even if there is a husband in one or two brothels occasionally, his appearance is really shabby, so he can't do it."

Seeing that he actually likes masculinity, Chen Xiu was very surprised, but she didn't dare to show her disgust in her heart, so she could only endure the disgust and said: "Our Pingyao County is small and there is no prime minister's mansion. Let little brother let you know about it slowly. .”

"No hurry." Hu Cai smiled generously, "However, Mr. Chen also knows that I have too many business matters, and some people line up to invite people to drink. I can only stay here for a few days. No wonder Mr. Chen ah."

Although he said he was not in a hurry, the time had already been stipulated inside and outside the words.Chen Xiu scolded her mother in her stomach, and had to smile along with her face, "It's not difficult, but my brother just didn't think of a suitable candidate for a while. But don't worry, brother, these few days, my brother will definitely satisfy you."

"Naturally, I feel very at ease with Mr. Chen, and drink and drink." Seeing that he agreed, Hu Cai said contentedly.

The two continued to eat, but it was a pity that Chen Xiu's heart was hit too hard, and for a while, she couldn't think of anything close to Hu Cai.

When the atmosphere was awkward, there was a crisp greeting from the waiter of Furong Zhai shop opposite, "Hey, Prince Wang and Manager Qi are here, please come inside."

"Second brother, do you have glutinous rice and lotus root today?" Not long after, Wang Qi's cold voice came, as ethereal and pleasant as spring water hitting jade, which immediately attracted the attention of both of them.

The waiter in the shop said enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, it's just out of the pot, and it's just right to eat now."

Chen Xiu was already in a bad mood, when she heard Wang Qi's voice, she subconsciously looked downstairs.Sure enough, Wang Qi led Qi Xing into the opposite Furongzhai.

"Bad luck." Chen Xiu cursed inwardly.

Hu Cai also saw Wang Qi, and couldn't help saying, "Yo, I've seen that man before."

"How did you know him?" Chen Xiu asked quickly.

Hu Cai said: "The last time I came to Pingyao County, you gave me a singer. After a few days, your brother-in-law brought that person over to ask for it."

"What else?" A few years ago, Chen Xiu used Dong Jue's place and people to entertain Hu Cai, which made Dong Jue very dissatisfied.Although Chen Xiu never remembered the bad things he did, but after all he cheated Dong Jue and often slandered Wang Qi with bad words, he was naturally afraid that the two of them would trip him up.

Thinking that it was Wang Qi who urged Dong Jue to go to Hu Cai to ask someone to dismantle her platform, Chen Xiu was afraid that Hu Cai would hold grudges and affect the current business, so she hurriedly said: "My brother-in-law is too ignorant, Boss Hu, don't worry, I will definitely Buy a few more divas and send them to you."

"It's been several years, there's no need for Mr. Chen to care about it." Seeing Chen Xiu's trembling look, Hu Cai rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I heard that the prince is a scholar in the county, and he is very knowledgeable and reasonable."

Seeing that Hu Cai had a good impression of Wang Qi, Chen Xiu hurriedly said: "Boss Hu, don't be fooled by him, he is just a fake and lofty man."

"There are some scholars who are not fake and noble, but I still like their kind of nobleness. They must have a different style when they play. Unfortunately, the men in the prime minister's mansion are too vulgar. Even if they have a good-looking face, it is meaningless." Hu Cai After taking a sip of wine, his eyes began to shine, "To be honest, I have never seen a man more handsome than Wang Gongzi in my life, and he is also a master of poetry and literature. It is really rare. Brother, if you can't find a suitable person , why don't you bring him here. As long as you let my brother have fun, our business is easy to talk about."

Seeing that he wanted to hit Wang Qi, Chen Xiu didn't dare to accept, let alone refuse, and could only say dryly: "Brother Hu, let me think about this matter. Let's drink first."

"Alright, let's drink first." Knowing that Chen Xiu would probably agree, Hu Cai was not in a hurry.

Wang Qi, who came out for a rare time, didn't know that he was already missed by others. At this time, he was waiting for his glutinous rice lotus root with peace of mind.
