Lin Ke opened his mouth, speechless. The current situation is really not easy to deal with, and Lin Jue caught Zhang Yanei, Zhang Tongju is the younger brother of Zhang Jun, the third envoy today, and it is his matchmaking that has the Cao Yun business arranged by the Lin family. If this matter is not handled well, it will cause big trouble.

Lin Boyong frowned and thought for a moment, then turned around and walked back to Zhang Yi, who was huffing, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Zhang, don't be angry, don't be angry." ”

Zhang Yi said angrily: "I've lost my face, do you still care about this?" ”

Lin Boyong stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Yi's sleeve and said, "Lord Zhang, please take a step to speak, and the old man will tell you the truth of the matter." ”

Zhang Yi ignored it, Lin Boyong had to lean into his ear and gently tell him what had happened, and finally said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, the whole thing is actually a misunderstanding. Steward Huang was trying to correct the family rules with the concubine in the third room of my Lin family, but somehow, he pulled out the son of the Yanei by mistake for Lin Jue. You said that you did this, it is simply laughable. Don't worry, this matter is out of the way, and I, Lin Boyong, will never say a word. Even if you want to kowtow to the prince of Yanai, it will be done. In short, the son of Yanai must not be wronged. Tell me, what can I do to dissipate my anger with my lord and my son? ”

Zhang Yi frowned and was silent, he was indeed very angry about this matter, but he thought that this was the Lin family's deliberate humiliation of himself. But now that I calm down and think about it, I have already figured out that the Lin family will definitely not do this. After listening to Lin Boyong's explanation, it made sense. The Lin family's family law is severe, and he knows the rules that children are not allowed to enter and leave the land of fireworks. Such strict rules are actually rumored to be jokes in weekday banquets and gatherings. Someone gave Lin Boyong the nickname of 'Tu Lao Hat', which Zhang Yi thought was very appropriate. It's really incredible that the children of the family are not allowed to visit the Qinglou this year.

Lin Boyong's explanation can be said, this is indeed a misunderstanding. Holding on to it by yourself doesn't really make much sense. The matter has come out, and his son has lost a lot of face on weekdays, although today's incident is a big shame, but it will pass after enduring. But the problem now is that you can endure it, but you must have the right conditions to pay for it. Zhang Yi is a practical person, but what if he can use interests as an exchange to achieve a balance, let alone his son's bare ass, what if he is humiliated by his crotch? In life, the most important thing is to seize the opportunity. The opportunity is right now.

"Lin Weng, it's not that I, Zhang, can't speak. Look at my unsuccessful son, naked in the streets, watching the crowd of the people. What a humiliation it is. I can take him home immediately without pursuing it, and act as if nothing had happened. But what if he can't stand the humiliation and the outside world, and has three longs and two shorts? My Zhang family is such a lone seedling, if he has any three longs and two shorts, I will fight with your Lin family. Zhang Yi smacked his lips and sighed.

Lin Boyong is such a shrewd person, the son of Yanei is notorious, and his skin is thicker than the city wall of Yangzhou, how can he care about any humiliating words. Listening to what Zhang Yi meant, he was worried that Zhang Yanei would go back to find a short term or something, this is simply a joke. People all over the world have looked for short-sightedness, and this young man of Yanai will not kill himself. But Lin Boyong knows Zhang Yi too well, and once this person starts to mess around, he has some ideas.

"What Master Zhang said is, how can you comfort your son? Why don't you apologize to him in person and compensate for some psychological damages? ”

"What did you say? How can Lin Weng make an apology to him, this matter is not what Lin Weng thinks. Don't talk about compensation or anything, people will think that my Zhang family is greedy for your Lin family's silver. No talk, no talk. Zhang Yi waved his hand.

Lin Boyong frowned and said, "Then how can I express the old man's apology?" ”

Zhang Yi smacked his lips and said: "Since Lin Weng is so sincere and wants to apologize, this official can't help but give Lin Weng this opportunity to make you feel at ease." Well...... In this way, this year's Caoyun will soon be escorted. The proportion of previous years has not moved for a few years, but this year it will move a little, how about raising it by one percent? ”

Lin Boyong was stunned and said, "What? ”

Zhang Yi smacked his lips and said, "Is Lin Weng behind his ears?" ”

Lin Boyong almost cursed. The Lin family's Caoyun business was obtained through Zhang Yi's matchmaking, and of course, the Zhang brothers were absolutely unwilling to work in vain, so the court remuneration obtained by Caoyun was agreed to be divided into three or seven. The Zhang brothers don't have to give anything, they can share 30% of the net profit. Taking the proceeds of Cao Yun escort after last autumn as an example, the Lin family dispatched more than 60 large and small ships to transport the southeast Cao Yun to Bianliang, the capital, with a profit of 100,000 taels. According to the agreement, the Zhang family got 30,000 taels of silver, all of which were put into their pockets and not spent. The Lin family's boat labor and expenses along the way were nearly 30,000 taels, and the net profit of the Lin family was only 40,000 taels. The Lin family mobilized dozens of ships and nearly 2,000 shipwrights, risking the risk of loss compensation, and spent more than a month, and the final income was actually similar to that of the Zhang family.

Zhang Yi and Zhang Jun, who don't have to worry about anything, just wait for the silver to go into their pockets, and they don't need to spend any energy at all. Last year, the Lin family got more than them, which is reasonable and psychologically acceptable, but now, Zhang Yi is about to increase by one percent, that is, four or six points. In other words, the Lin family's remuneration for Caoyun this year is less than that of the Zhang family. Not every year, but every year after the beginning of this year. Zhang Yi's appetite is really too big.

"Master Zhang, I'm afraid this won't work. The division was all agreed upon before, so it is not easy to change it. Besides, your appetite has grown. Lin Boyong said coldly.

Zhang Yi sneered: "Then forget it, Lin Weng thinks so, when I didn't say it." At present, this matter is on official business, and I took Huang Changqing and those servants to the yamen for interrogation. This official is not a fool, is it a misunderstanding for Huang Changqing to do this, this official can't listen to you. The official believed that he must have been instructed to do so, and that the purpose was to target him. The official vowed to dig up the person behind the command and bring him to justice. ”

The muscles on Lin Boyong's face trembled, and he glared at Zhang Yi fiercely. Zhang Yi changed his smiling face and said in a low voice: "Lin Weng, I don't want to, everyone is their own person, so you don't have to tear your face." Everyone wants to do this business of Caoyun, but you don't do it only others. But you and I have been friends for many years, and I wouldn't do that kind of thing. In the future, I will find something to make up for somewhere else and come back. For example, on the 50th birthday of the saint next year, it is said that the saint plans to build a garden in the western suburbs of the capital, which requires a lot of flowers, trees and stones, which may have to be transported from the south. This Hua Shigang strives to let your Lin family carry it, isn't this all earned back? How can you, a businessman, not be able to settle this account? ”

Lin Boyong was indignant in his heart, there was no shadow of Hua Shigang or anything, Zhang Yi was just painting cakes to satisfy his hunger. But in the current situation, I am afraid that I can only agree to him, after all, he is in charge now. If you really tear your face, the Lin family will suffer a big loss. Lin Boyong never wanted to tear his face with Zhang Yi.

"That's it, just do what Master Zhang said. Lord Zhang, I have something to tell you. ”

"You say, you say." Zhang Yizhi was satisfied, with a smile on his face.

"There is a saying that moderation is enough, and there is also a saying that one loss is lost. Master Zhang, there is mutual benefit between us, if only one family benefits, and others are busy, then it is not called mutual benefit. When the time comes, some things will not be easy. When the old man is in a bad mood, if he leaks something in front of others, it's not good. Very bad. ”

Zhang Yi smiled and glared at Lin Boyong, and Lin Boyong glared at him fiercely. Zhang Yi suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, okay, there won't be that day." Why do you say such things? The official is going back, so many people are watching, and the official doesn't want to be laughed at by them. Drink tea together another day and say goodbye. ”

"Good to go, adults!" Lin Boyong bowed his hand.

Zhang Yi turned around and ordered his entourage to help Zhang Yanei and leave, Zhang Yanei was wearing a hollow robe, and shouted to the courtyard gate of Wangyue Tower: "Xie Yingying, Lao Tzu will come to you next time, I only played half of it just now, and I don't count." ”

Standing at the door and looking at the lively Xie Danhong, he said coldly: "Gongzi Yanei, don't you want to ruin the reputation of my Yingying girl, you are the right person to order the little jade girl, and my Yingying girl is not a performer."

"What? What Xiaoyu? Isn't it Xie Yingying? ”

"Yo Yo, is the son of Yanai confused? The room in the east head is Xiaoyu's room, and the son of the Yanai is not good at talking nonsense. The son of the Ya Nei is a person with an identity, but he can't be a bad person. Xiaoyu, don't come out to make it clear. This young man of the Yanai regards you as a warbler. ”

An eighteen or nineteen-year-old disheveled woman squeezed out with a smile and smiled at Zhang Yanei: "Yanei Gongzi, have you forgotten about others so quickly?" I told people to be careful of the liver and meat in the room just now, why did they forget it so quickly? ”

Zhang Yanei was stunned, and his mind was confused. The surrounding onlookers laughed, Zhang Yi was really ashamed, and scolded angrily with a cold face and ordered someone to drag his son away quickly.
