Great Song

To welcome the honored guests, the welcome banquet will naturally not be shabby.And because Mrs. Han believed it, no matter how delicate the food was before, it still tasted light, with more vegetables and less meat.But this time, Han Miao arranged all the fashionable dishes, including chicken and duck, fresh fish and sheep, which made people dizzy.

Sitting at the table, Zhen Qiong felt her whole body come alive, and the slander spewed out after starving for more than ten days without seeing meat, how could she care about others?For a while, spoons danced wildly, bamboo chopsticks flew, and eating was a joy.

Faced with such a way of eating, no amount of politeness will be a waste of effort.Han Miao just sat on the side, with a smile on his face, preparing dishes for the guests, and occasionally explaining how to eat them just right, making people feel at home.

Han Miao asked with a smile, "Is today's food suitable for Daoist taste?"

"The meat is so delicious!" Zhen Qiong replied with tears in her eyes. "The Han officials don't know it. The people on the mountain are very poor. I can't even see oil flowers on weekdays. I haven't eaten meat for several days!"

How can such a grand view of Changchun Temple be poor?Han Miao also had a feast on the mountain, and the food in the temple was exquisite and elegant, which was better than ordinary temples.After a moment of hesitation, he tentatively asked, "Guannei is so poor? What does the Taoist leader do on weekdays?"

"Alchemy." Zhen Qiong answered as a matter of course, "Master Uncle specially set up a alchemy room for me, with enough medicine materials, and my own alchemy furnace, so it is convenient to make alchemy. But the disciples of the alchemy room can't eat meat, alas, It must be disgusting that we spend too much money."

Han Miao: "..."

Wait, how did he hear that alchemy requires fasting and bathing?With a sudden realization in his heart, Han Miao said again: "Is the Taoist priest wearing old clothes for alchemy?"

Zhen Qiong glanced at him: "Otherwise. The alchemy room is full of fire and acid, and the clothes have to be washed every day. What a waste to wear new ones."

Such rich people, of course, would not understand their hard work in alchemy.Changing a set of clothes until they are worn out is the basic way to save money!

Han Miao couldn't laugh or cry at once, he didn't expect that with his eyesight, there were times when he could see faults.Daoist Zhen obviously had a good life on the mountain, so what's the use of showing him off?But people are also cheated, since it is so easy to raise, he is not polite.

With a proper smile on his face, Han Miao said, "Don't worry, the Taoist priest. Since he is staying in the mansion, regardless of food and clothing, Mr. Han will make arrangements for him, and he will not let the Taoist priest worry about it."

Don't need to do laundry?At this time, Zhen Qiong was able to understand the implication of others, and immediately became excited again: "Where is the alchemy room arranged? It can't be too close to the place where people live. Alchemy is easy to produce poisonous smoke, and sometimes it will explode. Find a remote place Just where you want it to be.”

Han Miao: "..."

Isn't it just refining a pill?Why did the poisonous smoke explode? How can people feel at ease letting him mess around at home?Is this person too sincere, or does he simply not know what to do to be enshrined in someone else's family?

Han Miao maintained his smile after spending almost his whole life in cultivation, nodded and said, "Since the Taoist priest likes to be secluded, let's choose a side courtyard. The west courtyard is suitable."

Therefore, when Zhen Qiong stuffed some dim sum and fruit into the gaps and made sure that half of the mouth would not be filled, the place they went to was not the courtyard of the inner house that had been arranged before, but the westernmost corner of the Han family mansion. a small courtyard.Once entered independently, there are three or four rooms and two side rooms.The area is small, and the furnishings are very simple, but there is not a single tree in the courtyard, and the outer wall is still a eaves used to insulate the fire, even if it is burned, it will not spread to other places.

Seeing this small courtyard, Zhen Qiong's eyes lit up: "This place is very nice! Not to mention the seclusion, there are still so many rooms, the Han officials have to worry about it!"

Hehe, he knew that this trail would not disappoint him.It can be regarded as having caught some ideas of the other party, Han Miao said with a smile: "There are cooks and maidservants in the courtyard, who will serve you with food and daily life. If you need anything, just talk to this young man."

The clever young servant at the side immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Young Anping, the Taoist priest will just send you orders."

The owner has arranged everything up to this point, so what is there to complain about?Zhen Qiong smiled like a flower: "Official Han is worrying!"

Obviously she is out of tune, but Zhen Qiong's smile is bright and straightforward, and she lives up to her good looks.Seeing that the other party was about to wag his tail, Han Miao couldn't help laughing and said, "As long as the Taoist priest likes it."

After the distinguished guests were settled, Han Miao left the side courtyard with a smile, and was about to go to the study, but Han Zhong rushed up to greet him: "Ah Lang, the clan elder invites you to go over."

"Oh?" The smile on Han Miao's lips changed slightly, with some sarcasm, "It's coming soon."

It's only been a few days since he came back, so he can't sit still?Well, let's meet the new manager of the tea shop for a while.

■

"Boss, since the elders of the family have agreed, why don't you run the tea shop first, and then seek the power of the business? Looking for Han Miao, I'm afraid there will be changes..." In the small courtyard of the third house of the Han family, a man dressed in a straight suit and a bit rich The middle-aged man persuaded in a low voice.

The man called "Boss" was probably in his early thirties, with a thin build, wearing a wide-sleeved shirt, a lacquered gauze cape on his head, and a mustache on his lips.This person is none other than Han Lin, the current head of Sanfang.

Hearing this, Han Lin smiled coldly: "It's been so many days since Steward Xiao has been in Dazong, and that guy didn't dare to say a word. He must have a guilty conscience. If this is the case, we must clearly explain the affairs of the tea shop, and don't let a Outsiders took advantage. Besides, the elders of the clan have agreed to change hands of the tea shop, so is it possible that he, a kid from Western Korea, dares to make trouble?"

"One more thing is worse than one less thing, besides..." Xiao Nian sighed in the middle of speaking, unable to continue.

As the manager of the tea shop, he was single-handedly promoted by Han Yu, the patriarch of Xihan, and he was his serious benefactor.Now that the old master had just passed away, and Han Miao had not taken power yet, he had defected to someone else.It's just that as the owner of the tea shop, he also watched Han Miao grow up, and he knows his tricks.However, Han Lin is too greedy. Having a tea shop is not enough, and he has to plan other things.Ten thousand self-defeating, I'm afraid it's not easy to clean up.

Hearing this, Han Lin's face became even colder, and he asked, "Could it be that Manager Xiao still thinks about Xihan and doesn't want to do his best for Dazong?"

"How dare a villain!" Xiao Nian quickly denied, "The tea shop has always been a big business, and the villain also manages and makes a living for the Prime Minister."

I really can't blame him for his soft bones. Now Xiangye Han, who was born in Dazong, is the most powerful prime minister in the court, and even the official family is supported by him.Even if he was given a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to betray Dazong Han.

"Haha, this is knowing the current affairs." Han Lin laughed, and said, "Since everyone knows the tea shop belongs to, calling Han Miao over is just to explain the matter, so why worry? You can bear it Temperament, manage the tea shop well. If you can successfully enter the business by relying on the tea shop, I will definitely reward you!"

What Han Lin valued in his heart was never just a mere tea shop, but the huge industry of Han's Commercial Bank.Han Yu was able to run the business back then, why couldn't he?Besides, Di Zhi and Shu Zong have never been in the same position. How can there be any reason for a side branch to intervene in the real Han family business?Only by switching to the management of the family can the elderly in the clan feel at ease.Han Yu didn't know how much profit he had made from the business back then, and now he called Han Miao here just to let him understand that the tea business his father established was a big deal.He has to spit out what he once ate!

Now that he has failed in his studies, Yin Bu has no turn, so he can only earn the power of the firm.When he completely subdued Han Miao, seized the remaining wealth of Western Han, and then used this as a foundation to expand the tea shop and increase the source of wealth, he could rise to the top and completely ascend to the position of the master of the business.If you can make your uncle Han Qi look at you differently because of business, why worry about the third house being unhappy?

Thinking of this, Han Lin's slightly sharp face also showed a dark smile.

■

Han Lin didn't have to wait too long. The clan elder had just summoned him, and the kid obediently sent him to the door.Looking at the young man who was alone and didn't even dare to bring a servant in, Han Lin felt more confident in his heart. He couldn't help but straighten his back and sit beside his uncle, putting on a majestic air.

It's really a feast without a good feast.

Looking at the few people sitting in the hall, Han Miao already knew it in his heart.It stands to reason that for an asset of the scale of a tea shop, at least three or five clan elders and seven or eight household heads should gather together to open an ancestral hall to discuss matters.Now there are only a few idlers from the big family elders and the third house, are you really planning to bully yourself as an ignorant child?

Without moving his face, Han Miao first stepped forward and saluted: "Grandson Han Miao, pay homage to Great Uncle."

This elder of the rich family is Han Xianggong's cousin, and his status is also one of the best in the Han family.Seeing him being respectful, the elder Dazu chuckled: "Get up, I have something to look for you today."

Han Miao got up obediently and sat down neatly. His eyes were clear and steady, and he didn't even look at those who were sitting with Sanfang.The fox pretended to be a tiger, but he didn't pay attention to it. Han Lin's complexion immediately sank, but as a junior, he couldn't disturb the old man's conversation at this moment, so he clenched his fist secretly.

The elders of the clan didn't seem to notice the strange atmosphere in the house, and slowed down their voices: "Now that your father is gone, and you are young, I'm afraid you won't be able to support the stall. I discussed with several clan elders that this tea shop, Let Qilang of the third room take care of it first."

Han Lin stood up in response: "Uncle, don't worry, the grandnephew will definitely take care of the tea business!"

As he spoke, he looked at Han Miao provocatively.Han Miao didn't do what he wanted, showing surprise or hatred, and just nodded lightly: "It's all under the arrangement of Grand Uncle."

Just admit it?Hearing this, Han Lin couldn't help but feel happy, but his face sank: "Although the tea shop has been handed over to Da Zong, Xihan has been in charge for so many years and has benefited a lot from it. Should it be returned together? "

The author has something to say: Daoist Zhen: You are such a good person!

Han Miao: ... (smiling)
