"Menghua" is the name of a clothing store.
This store is located at the entrance of Dongjie Street, and you have to turn two alleys to see it.
The scale is not big, and the business doesn't look like much. Of course it just "looks".
Only guests with a certain status are accepted here.
All of Chong Xuan Zun’s clothes are produced by this store.
Looking around the world, "Yunxiangzhai" is certainly a place that nobles flock to. But in Linzi, the reputation of "Menghua" may not be that weak.
Dongjiekou is considered a busy city, and its prosperity is not inferior to the "treasure bowl" in Xicheng.
People are coming and going, and traffic is busy.
The Chongxuan family's carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, and Chongxuan Sheng and the black-armored Shi Shixia got the carriage.
The accountant in the carriage behind, as well as other people who were preparing to take over the operation of "Menghua", also got out of the carriage.
As soon as the coachmen stopped the carriage, Zhong Xuansheng led a group of people into the alley.
Surrounded by a small courtyard, with a few old vines and potted flowers, it is a good place to relax in the midst of the bustle.
"When you walk into this courtyard, people seem to feel more relaxed."
Chong Xuansheng said something casually, which caused his subordinates to agree, such as "elegance" and "taste", it was a mess.
When such a large group of people came, the shopkeeper in the inner room led people to welcome him out. Seeing Chong Xuan Sheng, he bowed bitterly: "Young Master Sheng."
This is a fair-faced, beardless, middle-aged man with somewhat feminine looks, who looks very gentle.
Chong Xuansheng waved his hand: "Pay the account, and my people will be responsible here from now on."
There is no favor left, and there is no favor left.
These people are all following Zhongxuan Zun wholeheartedly, and they must wait until Zhongxuan Zun comes out of Jixia Academy.
Chongxuan Sheng is not used to it. If he is willing to wait for Zhongxuan Zun, he will let them wait. Anyway, the Chongxuan family will definitely not support them during this period. Let's see how many people can be left by then.
The waiters in "Menghua" were like roosters that had lost a fight, and they were all dejected. However, the shopkeeper was kind-hearted and respectfully invited Zhong Xuansheng and others into the store and handed over the account books that had been prepared long ago.
Chong Xuansheng's accountant was checking accounts, while Chong Xuansheng looked around at the furnishings in the store.
The shopkeeper of "Menghua" hesitated for a moment and asked aloud: "Sir Sheng, I wonder how you plan to run this place in the future?"
"How to run a business?" Zhong Xuansheng was impatient.
Knowing that Chongxuan Sheng didn't want to talk to him, the shopkeeper still took out a brochure and handed it to him with both hands: "Mr. Sheng, I have been running 'Menghua' for many years, and I have some experience. The specific business strategies are in this brochure.
, as long as your people follow these instructions, there will never be any compensation."
Zhong Xuansheng didn't answer, just glanced at him: "No need."
The shopkeeper did not take back his hands and said sincerely: "It's not easy for Menghua to be what it is today. I don't dare to have bad intentions, I'm just afraid that it will collapse like this... I never meant that your people are not doing well in management.
!It’s just, it’s just, every other line is like a mountain, after all, there is no second home in Linzi.”
He is indeed sincere. He also has deep feelings for "Menghua" and is afraid that it will be spoiled. He believes that Zhongxuan Zun will definitely win the final victory, but he is afraid that when Chongxuan Zun comes out of Jixia Academy, "Menghua" will be destroyed.
"It's gone.
So he did not hesitate to reveal all his years of business experience, just asking Zhongxuan Sheng to help him "keep it safe".
Chong Xuansheng smiled playfully: "I'm not being polite to you. It's really not necessary. We won't sell clothes here anymore."
The shopkeeper was shocked: "If you don't sell clothes, what are you selling?"
Chong Xuansheng thought for a moment with a serious expression to show that he was thinking seriously, and then said: "Selling roast chicken!"
At this time, his men came over and whispered: "Mr. Sheng, you were talking about selling roast duck. We have all ordered ducks."
Another person knocked him on the head: "Sell whatever Mr. Sheng says!"
The shopkeeper's face was ashen.
The former "Menghua" guys all dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
"I said, do you feel a sense of accomplishment by showing off your power in front of these little people?" Wang Yiwu's voice sounded at this moment.
He walked in from outside the courtyard and stood at the door, his tall figure casting a shadow.
The store fell silent.
Zhong Xuansheng turned around and looked at him with squinted eyes: "I thought you should go back to the military camp now."
Of course, he didn't come here specifically to show off his power in front of the little people, but he did it specifically to show to those who were watching. Let them see what would happen to Zhongxuanzun, and let them know that Chongxuanzun couldn't even save his favorite store.
Let them know how to stand in line.
Zhongxuanzun is not here, and Wang Yiwu and Wen Lianmu have lost. It is a good time to gradually crush Zhongxuanzun's influence. Although this method is not very popular, it will be very effective.
Otherwise, for such a fat man, even if he really likes the feeling of showing off his power, he would not bother to make this trip.
He was a little envious of Jiang Wang, who did nothing but practice all day long, never leaving the door or taking a step forward. How leisurely!
"I did go back to the military camp. But after thinking about it, I came back again." Wang Yiwu said.
"Is something wrong?" Chong Xuansheng asked.
"That person. The person who arranged for the Hellless Assassin to enter the city, has he surrendered to you a long time ago?"
"I don't know what you are talking about." Chong Xuansheng looked directly at him: "You are boring, Wang Yiwu."
"You know I'm telling the truth."
"Before my brother went to Jixia Academy, when he asked you to take care of the business, you should have said, 'No, how can I play with Chongxuan Sheng with a pig brain like me?'. In this way, he might think of a way not to enter Jixia Academy.
palace."
Chong Xuan Sheng said sarcastically with an expressionless face: "If you can't afford to lose, don't come to play."
"Ha!" Wang Yiwu stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhongxuan Sheng: "You will never be as good as A Zun. Do you know what it is?"
"I don't want to know, and I don't agree with this, so why don't you say anything?" Chong Xuansheng crossed his arms: "I want to see if I can suffocate you to death."
"You are so naive." Wang Yiwu said: "Azun is very aware of how much capital the Battle of Qiyang will bring to you and how much money it will make you. But he has never thought about doing anything in the Battle of Qiyang.
"
"What is the overall situation? The overall situation is that we are all in Linzi, and we are all Qi people. If Qi is strong, I will be strong, and if Qi is weak, I will be weak. A Zun recognizes Qi's victory, even if you will get the most benefits from it. He recognizes the importance of Zhong
The growth of the Xuan family, even if you can draw enough capital from it.
And what about you? Do you really not know what kind of negative impact it will have if a dignified fourth-grade official is assassinated in the capital?
Do you really not know how seriously the Emperor would feel ill if the Chongxuan family were involved in this matter?
You know it, but you do it anyway.
You gained a short-term upper hand, but the Chongxuan family lost their long-term trust.
You put your personal interests above the interests of the family, and even the interests of the country. You only want to defeat A Zun, and you do whatever it takes to do so, without considering the future of the family at all.
You and your father have the same virtue!
Thirty years ago, the Chongxuan family lost His Majesty's trust due to Chongxuan Futu. Your Chongxuan family risked their lives and fought for thirty years to regain their current status. Thirty years later, you let the story repeat itself.
Chong Xuan Sheng, you can’t even compare to one of Zhong Xuan Zun’s hairs!”
Chong Xuan Sheng listened quietly to what he said, without any change in his expression. He just frowned: "If you want to anger me, then you failed. Because I don't understand what you are saying at all."
"Yes, yes, you don't understand. I can't find any evidence. What I said is all nonsense."
Wang Yiwu shook his head and smiled, as if he was laughing at himself.
When his smile stopped, he looked at Zhong Xuan Sheng very seriously.
"Do you still remember what I asked you on the day A-Zun went to Jixia Academy?"
