Chapter 486: Partnership
So the two changed their clothes, and while killing fish and cutting vegetables in the kitchen, they sorted out the accounts of Wei Youqing's several shipments, and when a pot of fragrant mandarin fish came out of the pot, their accounts were finished. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After settling accounts like this, Wei Youqing was a little depressed in his heart. I thought that this coming and going should make a lot of money, but going to Beijing is not as good as other places, the rules of the Beijing officials, and the kickbacks of the internal affairs government must be from these profits, and the cost itself is high. In this way, after removing taxes, the surplus is far less than Wei Youqing estimated.
But Wei Youqing expanded the post station into a guild hall and opened an inn restaurant, and the money was borrowed from Pin Tingju in the early stage. Pintingju's branches everywhere have special transactions for account release, and the interest on Wei Youqing's loan is also calculated.
Wei Youqing and Pin Tingju agreed that the money earned from this trip to Beijing would be used to repay Pin Tingju's loan, but after such a calculation, they couldn't pay it off at once. If it is deferred, the interest will roll over and go up.
"Youqing, what do you want to do after making money?"
Zhang Ruoshui's words interrupted Wei Youqing's thoughts, "I want to be a spinning factory," Wei Youqing shook his head, not thinking about Pin Tingju's loan. He told Zhang Ruoshui about his plans, and used his brains as he spoke, "If Brother Ruoshui is interested, how about we do it together?" ”
"Okay!" Zhang Ruoshui said happily, he took a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, "Chu Di is tea leaves, and cotton cloth is the lifeblood of money and grain." Doing these two kinds of business is a sure way to make a profit. I went back to my father and I consulted with him, and he would have agreed. ”
Zhang Ruoshui said, his expression was a little gloomy, and he sighed in frustration: "But my favorite thing to do is a restaurant, but my father doesn't allow me to open a restaurant." He didn't like me to be nostalgic for cooking. ”
Wei Youqing smiled: "What do you care about him?" You open your shop, he grows his tea, as long as you can do a good job, what does he have to say? ”
Zhang Ruoshui shook his head and said: "You don't know, although my father said that he didn't care about me, but in fact, I have to listen to him for everything." You said let me open a store, but where do I have the capital? He even sold my store in Lingnan. ”
Wei Youqing listened to Zhang Ruoshui's complaints, and felt that it was really rare for Shi Wen'er to let herself do what she wanted to do like this. He glanced at Zhang Ruoshui sympathetically, turned his brain, pointed to the shop in front of him, and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this?" If you don't feel wronged, how about helping me make this restaurant? ”
Zhang Ruoshui's eyes lit up, but then they dimmed again, shook his head and said: "Forget it, my father knows, even you will be complained by him, why bother with you." ”
Wei Youqing shook his head and smiled: "I didn't change the name of the guild hall to Zhangjia Restaurant, you just wanted to have a good time and came over to help guide them, what does it matter?" ”
Zhang Ruoshui hesitated again and again, and finally nodded in agreement.
The two of them talked and drank like this, thinking about opening a restaurant and a spinning factory, and in a blink of an eye, the sun set. The two of them talked about whether to add gold and silver thread after weaving twine and silk thread into the cotton cloth, but they didn't realize it until it was completely dark, and Wei Youqing was shocked.
He jumped from the table to the window, and said regretfully: "Oh no, I haven't seen His Royal Highness King Chen yet." It's tomorrow. ”
Zhang Ruoshui said with a smile: "Your Highness is always very busy during the day, and if you go a little late, you won't be able to see him." You have a different relationship with His Highness, and there is nothing wrong with going to see His Highness at night. If you wait for tomorrow, you have to go early in the morning. ”
Wei Youqing thought about Zhang Xiaosong's face during the day, pursed his lips secretly, and sighed: "That's no way." In the evening, I am afraid that His Highness will return to the inner court, so I will not go to annoy people. ”
"Annoying?" Zhang Ruoshui smiled puzzledly, "Will anyone hate you?" Speaking of the inner court, Ruobing also mentioned you today, saying that the clothes you gave her were so beautiful, she was reluctant to wear them, and she gave them all to the county magistrate. She said that it is inconvenient for her to go out now, and when you come back, go to the house to see her. ”
Wei Youqing heard Zhang Ruoshui mention going to the mansion to see the princess, evoking the grievances of the day, and sneered again and again: "How good is it to meet you earlier?" With your words, I went into the house to see Sister Ruobing, but I stammered and looked at the daughter of the prime minister's house, and was embarrassed by others. ”
"Prime minister's daughter?" Zhang Ruoshui said strangely: "Princess? What's going on? ”
Wei Youqing angrily told the events of the day, and her anger still did not decrease in the slightest: "Brother Ruoshui, where do you say her arrogance comes from?" None of her brothers and sisters are like her......"
Zhang Ruoshui said: "Youqing, the princess may be worried about her sister's affairs, so she is in a bad mood, don't take it to heart." The sisters of the Zhang family have always had a good name, and they are all very angry, and there is no disrespect from top to bottom. ”
Wei Youqing sneered and said, "What do you mean, I am to blame, and I shouldn't go to see her?" Or really, as she said, I, a little governor, have no qualifications to meet her. ”
Zhang Ruoshui couldn't help but laugh, shook his head again and again, and said, "Youqing, you really look like a child sometimes." The princess is not familiar with you, she doesn't know your relationship with the two princes in Lingnan, you have always been the most considerate, why are you so angry for a few offensive words? ”
Wei Youqing was speechless, and Zhang Ruoshui saw that he was no longer angry, so he said goodbye and left. Wei Youqing thought about Zhang Ruoshui's words, and couldn't help but think about herself, thinking that she had already thrown away her hand, how could she still be angry when she brought it up? Come to think of it, it's all for the word "foreign minister".
In the dark night, Wei Youqing sighed. This long sigh startled even himself. Hurriedly throw it away, and don't think about it anymore.
Early the next morning, Wei Youqing got up early, asked the little maid to fetch water and freshen up for him, and prepared to go to King Chen's Mansion. Last night's thoughts did not affect his sleep, and after washing his face, the young man in the mirror was full of energy.
Suddenly, another person's face appeared in the mirror. Wei Youqing was startled, hurriedly turned around, and looked at Li Chengyu in front of him in surprise.
"Your Highness, how did you get here?"
Lee Seung-woo was a little haggard and looked a little tired. He was dressed casually in a green robe, without a crown, and his hair was braided into thin braids from all sides, gathered to the top of his head, and tied up with a hosta.
Li Chengyu looked around Wei Youqing's room, took a deep breath, and said with a slight smile: "You have a good layout here, it looks very comfortable." ”
Wei Youqing looked at the uncleaned bed with some embarrassment, and said, "Your Highness laughs at me, it's too messy." Your Highness, please sit outside, and let the little servant clean up the house. ”
Who knew that Li Chengyu was half-lying down on Wei Youqing's bed, leaning on the pillow behind him, pointing to the chair next to him, and motioning for Wei Youqing to sit down.
"Youqing, Concubine Zhang was not sensible yesterday, aren't you sensible either? If it weren't for Jingbao telling me, would you be angry and leave? ”
