Wu Ruotang knew in his heart that according to the market value, the value of that courtyard house alone exceeded 5,000 taels, plus 1,000 taels of silver tickets, which was enough to buy four Lingyue Fang. www.biquge.info He naturally understood that Wen Xuan's move was so generous, firstly, he hoped to use his wisdom to deal with Wen Heng so as to seize the position of the head of the Wen family;

Wu Ruotang coughed and deliberately exclaimed: "How dare you do this? To be honest, the contemptible people bought this Lingyue Boat in the first place, but it was only worth 1,800 taels ......"

Wen Xuan smiled slightly, interrupted Wu Ruotang's speech, and said, "Brother Lin doesn't have to be polite. The reason why the younger brother was willing to spend such a big price to buy Lingyue Boat was not because of this ship, but because of Brother Lin. ”

As expected, the show is about to begin. Wu Ruotang smiled secretly in his heart, but he was surprised in his mouth: "How can the son say this?" Contemptible people have no talent and no virtue, where is it worthy of the son to treat me so well? ”

Wen Xuan laughed and said, "Brother Lin is too modest. Don't hide it from Brother Lin, after the younger brother went back last night, he immediately told his father about Brother Lin's suggestion to set up a carriage shop at Dongcheng Wharf, which was deeply appreciated by his father, and handed over the specific matters of preparing for the carriage shop to the younger brother to take care of. Through this incident, my father's impression of my younger brother has changed greatly...... Brother Lin, the reason why my little brother is here today is all because of your guidance, and this mere courtesy is nothing. If Brother Lin can continue to mention more by my younger brother's side in the future and help me achieve great things, then I will enjoy endless glory and wealth......" Speaking of this, Wen Xuan's eyes were firmly fixed on Wu Ruotang, full of longing.

Wu Ruotang was silent for a long time, and said with a smile: "Childe means ......"

Wen Xuan clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "My father handed over the family business to my younger brother for the first time, but my younger brother didn't know anything about economics. Brother Lin, you will be able to help me. I hope that Brother Lin will not refuse for the sake of the younger brother's sincere invitation. ”

Wu Ruotang smiled and said: "It's not that I stand on my own, the way of business is a small way, although the contemptible people are not talented, they don't disdain it." If Gongzi is just thinking about the Wen family's business, he can find someone else. ”

As he spoke, he paused, stared at Wen Xuan, and continued: "But if the prince wants to seek the high position of the head of the Wen family, I don't dare to boast, I am quite interested in this kind of trickery and trickery......

Wen Xuan, who was exposed by Wu Ruotang's words, changed his face slightly, and said: "Don't dare to deceive Brother Lin, the younger brother is about to use Brother Lin's power to seek the position of the head of the family, I hope Brother Lin will help me." After the deed is accomplished, there will be a great reward. ”

Wu Ruotang looked up to the sky and sighed: "I was originally just a pimp who had suffered from the white eyes of the world, but the son knew people with a good eye, and he didn't care about my humble identity and status, and invited me to join." How can I refuse to do this again? As the so-called soldier dies for his confidant, from now on, I Lin Siruo must do my best to serve my son, bow down and die! ”

Wen Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, took Wu Ruotang's hand and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Lin!" If there is a big thing in the future, the glorious and rich brother should share the ...... with Brother Lin."

The two hugged each other and rejoiced. One is like a master who is eager to seek talent, and the other is like a talented person who does not meet and finally meets appreciation, a touching scene, just like Uncle Liu Huang looked at Zhuge Kongming three times. It's a pity that at this time when people should have been moved to tears together, Wu Ruotang's eyes imperceptibly revealed a trace of ridicule.

Wen Xuan, Wen Xuan, this is you crying and shouting to ask me Wu Ruotang to join your Wen family, if something bad happens, don't blame me!

Yongfuli in Xiangyang City. Although this elegant and small, two-in, two-out courtyard house covers an area of not very wide and there are not many rooms, but after living in, Wu Ruotang realized that the real value of this courtyard house is definitely more than the five thousand taels he estimated.

Because, it is located in the north of the business district in the east of Xiangyang City, there is a horse road about four zhang wide in front of the door, which leads directly to the main road of Xiangyang City, it is very convenient to go out and shop, it is the place where the middle and upper class residents in the city live, it should be regarded as a prime location, and its real value can be bullish a lot.

In addition, the newly purchased furniture, potted plants, calligraphy and paintings in the house are all of the highest quality, and it seems that it cost some silver taels. The best thing is that I specially purchased all kinds of feminine products for Danyue and other women, such as dressers, copper mirrors, large and small bathtubs, and even as small as a comb, an accessory, etc., which are considerate and thoughtful.

No matter which angle you think about it, Wen Xuan doesn't look like the kind of person who regards talent as his fate and is willing to condescend to the dignity! Moreover, he humbly hired only himself as a pimp. But the facts just proved that Wen Xuan did regard himself as a guest and obeyed his words.

But is it really that simple?

Wu Ruotang stood in the courtyard in a light purple brocade robe, looking at a plain Cambodia in his hand and silently distracted. This is an invitation sent by Wen Xuanshi, and the letter named him and Danyue to go to Wen's mansion for a banquet tonight.

Wu Ruotang, who once thought that it would take a lot of hands and feet to get in touch with the power center of the Wen family, never imagined that in just three days, he would be able to walk into the most gorgeous mansion in Xiangyang City.

Although in order to hinder the plan of the Tianshan Sword Sect and Meng Caiyi to enter the Central Plains north, the sooner he enters the Wen family's power center, the more favorable the situation will be for him, but this is also too fast, so fast that people feel incredible.

Looking back on the past three days, except for helping Wen Xuan prepare for the construction of a carriage shop at Dongcheng Wharf, there were no eye-catching achievements at all. The only thing worth boasting about is that when I negotiated the price of horses with the Kanto horse dealer yesterday, I bargained and nagged all afternoon, so that the horse dealer's head was about to explode, and I looked like "If you cut my price again, I might as well hang myself", and finally with a sad face, he reluctantly sold himself 100 good horses at a low price of 50 taels of silver.

If Wen Xuan can also see a person's intelligence and strategy from such trivial things, it is simply a joke.

So what is it that makes Wen Xuan trust himself so much? As the saying goes, "B is ruthless and unjust". Wen Xuan is a frequent visitor to the Qinglou, so he naturally understands this truth, isn't he afraid that he will betray him by doing this? Most importantly, he persuaded Wen Xuan to accept that his reason was to set up a carriage shop on the dock of Dongcheng, breaking the Wen family's principle of only operating water transportation and concurrently operating land transportation. This point may not be imagined by the playboy Wen Xuan, but it is absolutely impossible to imagine it with the shrewd business acumen of Wen Shizhong, the head of the Wen family, who single-handedly established the Wen family's Yangtze River water transportation hegemony.
