Chapter 129 Nervous about entering Beijing for the engagement period
After hearing this, the tea merchant did not speak, and they had nothing to say about this kind of thing.
Because there was still a place to use them, Zhang Yi quickly restrained his emotions and asked the tea merchant what was going on.
After the tea merchant said it, Zhang Yi understood two things, one was that Sai Meng's goods were better than his side, and the other was that Sai Meng's capital was lower than him.
Zhang Yi asked the tea merchants to leave, forget it this time, and hope that these tea merchants can prepare the tea before the rain and not let themselves down again.
After the tea merchant left, he had other ideas.
On the seventeenth day of the lunar month, Sai Meng tasted the New Year's wine. This is a unique custom in Yi'an Province, where a banquet is set up to entertain relatives and friends before the Chinese New Year.
This time, Sai Meng did not invite relatives and friends, but those tea merchants.
After the tea merchant received the post, except for a few people who were inconvenient to go because they were from the Zhang family, the others went.
After the tea merchant arrived that day, he was warmly entertained by Sai Mengwei, and Sai Meng's biggest skill is self-cooking, no matter who it is, if you chat with him for a few words, you will feel that he is a friend and a trustworthy person.
At the dinner, Sai Meng asked Ge Guangmu to toast and make amends for everyone, these tea merchants didn't even dare to say it, and some people directly explained that this shopping mall is like a battlefield, with open knives and hidden arrows, as long as it is not a means of indiscriminate, it can be used.
The tea merchants have long honed their good temperament, and they have other things to do, so this little thing is revealed.
After the feast was dispersed, Sai Mengwei told the tea merchants the purpose of this time.
He hoped that the tea merchant would supply tea to his family, and he could use it to increase the original price by 10%.
The tea merchants did not answer immediately, and one of the tea merchants told Sai Mengwei that they often did business with the Zhang family, and if it was for a little money, they would give up the Zhang family, and they would be laughed at if it was spread out.
Sai Mengwei told them that the Zhang family was at the end of the road, and the so-called good birds chose trees to perch on, so why did the tea merchants stay on a tree?
After hearing this, the tea merchant still did not answer, and Sai Mengwei said to them: "Let's say so, what about Sancheng?" ”
After Sai Meng finished speaking, the tea merchant and the others nodded and did not speak again.
Sai Mengwei said to them: "Ladies and gentlemen, this business is about the word credit, and we have made a written deed for a period of three years. What do you think? ”
The tea merchants were naturally willing, and they were also worried that Sai Mengwei would bring down the Zhang family and bring down the price.
In these three years, they can earn an extra 30% each time, and after three years, even if they no longer sell tea, it will be enough for them.
Sai Mengwei wrote a deed with them, and these tea merchants promised that their tea would only be sold to Sai Mengwei and would never be sold to Zhang Yi.
Sai Meng tried to make a bloody alliance with them, and this matter was done.
This matter spread quickly, and Zhang Yi knew the news at noon on the eighteenth.
When Sai Mengwei set up a banquet, Zhang Yi knew what Sai Meng's idea was, but he didn't expect these tea merchants to betray so quickly.
Next, because his tea is not very good, the original customers have left, he can only push down the price in order to fight, he doesn't believe it, Sai Meng has no silver, and he dares to fight with himself.
However, there was no price reduction on Sai Meng's side, and Sai Meng's taste was still the original price, but the business was still prosperous.
Zhang Yi learned about this situation, thought about it for a while, and realized that he had a wrong idea. This winter film is basically bought by high-ranking officials and nobles, as for the ordinary people, they all buy spring tea, because spring tea is cheap, and they buy it for a year.
Even if Zhang Yi overwhelms the lowest price, that is, the common people come to buy it, it will not affect Sai Mengwei at all.
He knows that whether the Zhang family's tea business can continue this time depends on spring tea, as long as he can get through it, then he can fight back.
Zhang Yi was looking forward to the arrival of the Spring Festival, but Lin Shaowen was panicking.
The time of three years has arrived, and Lin Shaowen can be promoted and return to the capital no matter what his skills are.
But Lin Shaowen was reluctant to go back, he thought of Princess Jianwen, and he was always a little panicked.
Ye Shixi also sensed his emotions and comforted him, if Princess Jianwen got married, she would naturally listen to him.
Lin Shaowen didn't believe this statement.
However, this matter cannot be avoided, on the ninth day of the lunar month, the sage issued an edict to let Lin Shaowen return to Beijing.
Lin Shaowen wanted to go home for the New Year, so he could only hurry up and enter the capital on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.
When he returned home that day, Le Qiong saw that he was not as immature as he left, and couldn't help but feel relieved, thinking that after going out to practice, Lin Shaowen would also grow.
Lin Shaowen asked Le Qiong, how is his brother's marriage? Le Qiong said that everything is fine, the husband and wife are harmonious and happy.
Lin Shaowen sighed, thinking that it was better for Lin Duowen to be able to choose a wife he liked, not like himself, and he wanted to marry someone he didn't like.
Lin Bingmei also came back, I heard that Lin Shaowen came back, and also came out to meet, after the two sides saluted, Lin Shaowen took out a set of books, saying that this is a collection of Li Haiyu's son in Xijing City, but unfortunately his descendants are not good, and the board was engraved, but in the end it was not printed.
Lin Bingmei thanked happily, Lin Shaowen asked how the history of this country was repaired, Lin Bingmei said that Emperor Ren had completed the cultivation of one dynasty, and now the Xiuwu Emperor has one dynasty.
"Sister, this Emperor Zongren has only been in power for thirteen years, and my father also has a foundation, why has he been cultivating for so long."
It was inconvenient for Lin Bingmei to tell Lin Shaowen that there were too many mysteries about Emperor Ren's succession to the throne and his death, and it was very difficult to find a reasonable explanation for these mysteries.
Moreover, the history of this country is not written impartially, the three emperors must be wise and martial, and there can be no immorality, so it is difficult to choose historical materials.
Sometimes Lin Bingmei and the pavilion officials thought that there was no problem, but the sage still called back and asked them to revise it.
So the national history of Emperor Ren's dynasty has been repaired for so many years, as for the national history of Emperor Wu, they have to relax a lot, after all, the defeat of Dangshan is there, and it is also a fact that the world is withering. Of course, during the time of Emperor Wu, the world was not affected much, and in order to set off the achievements of today's saints, it was allowed to exaggerate some things a little.
This is much easier to write, after all, it is very difficult to write a Holy Lord Mingjun.
Le Qiong saw that Lin Bingmei was not easy to say, so she changed the topic and asked Lin Shaowen about it.
Lin Shaowen told what he had encountered, and when he heard Ge Guangmu's name, Le Qiong smiled and said to Lin Shaowen: "Speaking of which, this Ge Guangmu and you are quite fated, Ge Jing also investigated the Thirteen Tianma families with your father back then, and he is a minister of Geng Jie, and your father still admires this person." ”
"So that's the case, it's a pity that this Ge Guangmu is not worthy of his ancestors, and the people of Xijing City are all sorry when they mention him. But now that he is a monk, it is a good thing, at least the family business can be saved. ”
When Lin Shaowen said this, he thought of himself, how could he not be like this.
He didn't want to talk about Ge Guangmu anymore, and the next thing was nothing more than to talk about what he had seen and heard in Xijing City.
Le Qiong also stayed in Xijing and asked about the situation in some places, and Lin Shaowen also answered them one by one.
On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, he did not go to the court, and on the first day of the first month, the courtiers visited the saint and set up a banquet to entertain him, and the saint let Lin Shao smell Tianhe Zhai.
The sage looked at Lin Shaowen and asked how Lin Shaowen had governed the school in the past three years.
Lin Shaowen also said it one by one, including Yun Siyi, who came thousands of miles away to teach himself to read.
After hearing this, the sage couldn't help but smile and said, "Lin Nianxiu, Lin Nianxiu, the students are studying in the front hall, and you are studying in the backyard, what is this called?" ”
The sage didn't know how to describe it for a while, and after laughing, the sage said to Lin Shaowen: "However, since ancient times, there has never been a person who has become talented without reading, and I don't expect you to be able to become a scholar like my father, but Chen Taizong, as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, is almost immaculate, and he still has to read three books every day." Yuhuan, this girl, is a little anxious, after you get married, if you don't study, when she comes to me, I will also have a headache. ”
Lin Shaowen said that he had a headache now, and after the sage finished speaking, he told Lin Shaowen that after fifteen, the marriage would be held, and after the wedding, Lin Shaowen would be on an errand in the Guozijian.
Lin Shaowen naturally didn't dare to say anything, after thanking the saint, the saint asked Lin Shaowen to leave, and Lin Shaowen was summoned by Princess Jianwen not long after he walked out of Tianhezhai.
This time it was in the Imperial Garden, and Lin Shaowen also saw Princess Jianwen for the first time.
Princess Jianwen's appearance was not as disappointed as Lin Shaowen, like the osmanthus tree reflecting the moon dance, and like the peony elegant and shy.
Princess Jianwen looked at Lin Shaowen's appearance, but she cared. After letting Lin Shaowen sit down, Princess Jianwen said to Lin Shaowen: "I invite you here this time because I want to ask you a question." ”
"Princess, may I ask, the lower officials know everything and say everything"
Princess Jianwen asked Lin Shaowen what books he had read in the past three years, and Lin Shaowen answered them one by one.
Princess Jianwen saw that Lin Shaowen's answer was not like a lie, but she was a little happy in her heart, thinking that if Lin Shaowen could read well, it would be a good thing.
Next, Princess Jianwen asked a few questions, some of which Lin Shaowen could answer, and some of which he really didn't know.
After Princess Jianwen heard this, she didn't make it too difficult, let Lin Shao smell it.
Concubine Wen arrived at the Imperial Garden and said to Princess Jianwen: "My son, you husband, just a stubborn young man, don't know the value of reading, now understand it, study hard, and the future is still expected." ”
Princess Jianwen nodded and said to Concubine Wen: "Queen Mother, even if he doesn't study, the child doesn't want to marry him, isn't this matter already decided?" ”
"My son, how do I not know your mind? Even if you don't marry Lin Shaowen, you can't marry Ye Shixi. He is a man of a humble family, how can he be worthy of heaven. ”
