Early in the morning, Yan Shikuan rushed to wait outside Yifu as usual, as long as it doesn't rain these days, he is like this, he rushed over early in the morning, accompanied Yi Zhixin out for morning tea and then wandered around, his purpose was very simple, urging Yi Zhishu to take out the repayment plan as soon as possible.

Yesterday, Yi Zhi's contentment proposed to start a newspaper, and he once again really understood the power of Yi Zhi's contentment, ordinary people don't have such a unique vision, nor do they have as much courage as him, which makes him even more eager for Yi Zhi's repayment plan.

In fact, these days, the Yan family has not been idle, and has also come up with a repayment plan, that is, Xingtai Bank will charge two taels of silver per load of tea sold to foreign businessmen, and the tea merchants supplied to Xingtai Bank will be cheaper by two taels per load, so that for each load of tea, Xingtai Bank will have an extra four taels of silver profits, and other bulk commodities such as cotton and raw silk will also be handled according to this, so it will only be a few years, and Xingtai Bank will be able to pay off the arrears.

Seeing the repayment plan, Yan Shikuan shook his head and sighed in addition to sneering, but he was extremely disappointed, he really didn't have the courage to tell Yi Zhixin about the repayment plan.

A crisp bell sounded, which was particularly pleasant in the quiet morning, and the little guy who followed hurriedly reminded: "Young Master, Young Master Yi is out." ”

Listening to the reminder of the little girl, Yan Shikuan raised his eyes and saw Yi Zhifen, who was wearing a royal blue robe, walking out of the door, he hurriedly walked up and said with a smile: "Third brother, Sifangju Teahouse, someone please drink morning tea today." ”

Yi Zhi'er was carefully groomed today, and his whole body was meticulously cleaned up, but there was a trace of tiredness on his face, and he looked around for a while before he said, "You didn't call a sedan chair today?" ”

"Sedan chair? It's not a car every day, how do you want to take a sedan chair today? Yan Shikuan glanced at him and said with concern: "Didn't you sleep well last night?" Tossed all night? ”

"You've only been tossing all night." Yi Zhishu said and turned around and instructed Li Wang: "Go and call two small sedan chairs." As he spoke, he asked as he walked, "Who wants to take the shares?" ”

"Big-eyed boy, the second child of the Wu family who is the same as the one who goes forward." Yan Shikuan replied and asked, "Why do you want to sit in a sedan chair today?" ”

Yi Zhizhi said: "Wu Changqing sent someone to deliver the message last night, please have morning tea in the Tianhai Pavilion Teahouse this morning." ”

"What's the situation? He wants to add shares? Yan Shikuan tilted his head and asked.

Yi Zhisuff glanced at him and explained: "It was the old man of the Wu family who invited me to drink the big red robe, Wu Changqing was afraid that we would run away early in the morning without a trace, so I asked for morning tea, he must have arrived early, and it would be rude for us to go late." ”

"Wu Bingjian took the initiative to invite you to tea?" Yan Shikuan's small eyes immediately widened, and after being surprised, he said with envy: "Third brother, you really have a face...... ”

Yi Zhi was content to listen to his ramblings, and directly interrupted: "Big Eyed Boy, you go and deal with it, the matter of buying shares, no problem, we will give priority to the people of the Thirteen Lines." ”

"Okay." Yan Shikuan responded, and then said: "Wu Bingjian, can the third brother say a few good words for Xingtai?" ”

"A few nice words can solve the problem?" Yi Zhicontent rolled his eyes angrily and said, "It's all May, why haven't you seen Ling Zun's self-help?" ”

"Why not?" Yan Shikuan explained: "Most of the servants in the family have been dismissed, and the fields and shops that were originally hidden in their names are also being sold. ”

"The property has been sold." Yi Zhizhi said simply: "That's the most eye-catching." ”

"Huh?" Yan Shikuan was stunned, "Then where do we live as a family?" ”

"Can't rent?" Yi Zhicontent said disdainfully: "When is it, still holding the shelf?" Let me make it clear first, the repayment plan is not just a written thing, you have to really come up with something to be convincing, to put it bluntly, you have to invest money! ”

Yan Shikuan said in surprise: "The repayment plan, the third brother has a spectrum in his heart?" ”

"It's a bit of a spectrum, don't run around today, just wait for my news at home."

"Third brother, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere today, I'm just waiting at home." Yan Shikuan said with a happy face, he naturally understood that it was not him who Yi Zhizhi wanted to see, but the old man of his family, from these words, he also heard that Xingtaixing's repayment plan was related to the Wu family, and if he could get the help of the Wu family, then Xingtaixing would not collapse even if he wanted to.

Yi Zhizu rushed to the Tianhai Pavilion Teahouse in a sedan chair, and as soon as he got off the sedan chair, the little guy who delivered the letter yesterday walked up quickly, bowed down and said with a smile: "Yi Gongzi is here, my young master is already waiting in the private room on the third floor, Yi Gongzi, please——。 ”

As the little servant climbed to the third floor, Yi Zhishu took a slight look, the so-called private room was just a small room isolated by a screen, which was not the same as the private room of later generations.

In addition to Wu Changqing, there was a young man in his early twenties in the private room, and when he came in, the two hurriedly got up to greet each other, "Brother Yi is here." Wu Changqing took two steps forward with a smile and introduced: "This is what Fang just mentioned, easy to be content." As he spoke, he turned to the young man and said, "This is Pan Shiming, the word is sincere, and he is also a disciple of the Thirteen Lines, studying at Wenlan Academy. ”

Yi Zhizu glanced at him slightly, wide forehead and thick eyebrows, big nose and thick lips, but his bearing was calm, and he was bookish, this is Pan Shiming, recently, he has been collecting information on the thirteen lines, and he mostly remembers the situation of the children of the merchants, Pan Shiming, the third son of Pan Zhengwei, a merchant in Tongfu Bank, was admitted to the student at the age of twenty-three and fourteen this year, and is now studying in Wenlan Academy, and has been named Sun Shan for two consecutive township examinations.

After Wu Changqing's introduction, the two of them exchanged greetings and courtesies, and the three of them sat down one after another, Pan Shiming naturally poured tea for Yi Zhicontent, and after reaching out to ask for tea, he smiled and said: "I have been listening to Changqing talk about you these days, and I have long wanted to get acquainted, but I have never had a suitable opportunity.

It's really better to be famous than to meet, contentment is a table of talents, they are all children of the thirteen lines, and they are not polite in the next, and the foolish brother will do the east at night, and I hope that contentment will not be pushed. ”

Yi Zhixin knew that he was definitely for the newspaper to buy shares, and he had already intended to make friends with a group of scholars, so he naturally would not refuse, so he immediately smiled and said: "Brother Zecheng is so gracious, contentment dares to disobey his fate." ”

"Refreshing." Pan Shiming said with a smile: "If you weren't going to see Pinghu Gong later, I really wanted to float three glasses with you now, and we wouldn't get drunk at night." ”

As they spoke, all kinds of colors were sent up like flowing water early, and the three of them chatted while eating, and soon became acquainted.

After drinking morning tea, the three broke up at the pier, and Yi Zhixiang and Wu Changqing took a boat down the river to Henan Island.

Wujia Garden, Yanhui Building.

Wu Bingjian got up early and walked around the garden and came back, and after drinking morning tea, an old housekeeper in his fifties walked in in a hurry and said softly: "Master, the report is here." ”

Wu Bingjian glanced at him and said, "Hurry, but there is something important?" ”

"There is nothing big about the court, but there are things that the lord cares about." The old steward bowed down and said: "The imperial history Zhu Chenglie played "The price of silver is expensive, and the disadvantages are deepening, please investigate and deal with it." ”
