Harsh voices rang in Chen Mu's ears. When he turned around, he saw two well-dressed young men walking slowly towards him.
Holding a folding fan and with a hint of sarcasm on their faces, these two people are the eldest sons of the second and third families.
"Qi Ye, Qi Hao, keep your mouths shut!"
Qi Yue angrily rebuked, but the second and third bedrooms had a long-standing grudge with the eldest family, so how could they let go of the gimmick of welcoming an outsider as a son-in-law instead of ridiculing them?
"Qi Yue, if you don't want a man, you can tell your brothers. Isn't it better for you to find a servant from outside the house than to find a stranger?"
"That's right, in the remote area of ​​Yizhou, I can smell the smell of Saturn even from such a distance."
Qi Yue just glared at the two of them before pulling Chen Mu away.
Although she was angry, it didn't mean that Qi Yue didn't agree with the meaning of her words.
In Yangzhou, a place where the economy and culture rank first in the country, people like Chen Mu who come from the Yizhou mountainous area are really inferior to others.
But at the moment, Chen Mu did not move, just watching the two of them quietly.
"Ms. sir, let's go, don't pay attention to them!"
"Haha, is it possible that you, a foreigner, want to take action?"
After he finished speaking, Qi Hao whistled for a while.
The next moment, a dozen thugs ran out from all around.
He glared at Chen Mu with a ferocious expression, as if he wanted to scare Chen Mu to the point of peeing with his eyes.
But instead of being frightened, Chen Mu walked forward step by step.
"I really don't understand, but where does the son of a salt dealer get his sense of superiority? He doesn't say anything about outsiders, so why bother? Yangzhou's economic prosperity has nothing to do with you two!"
After being scolded by Chen Mu like this, the two of them were a little at a loss.
The outsiders I met on weekdays all admired and flattered the locals. Now that this person dared to scold them, I guess he was jealous.
"You have worked hard all your life in Yangzhou, but you can't even afford a toilet. Now that you have married into my family, how dare you scold us, you despicable idiot?"
Being scolded one by one, Chen Mu also became angry.
"Believe it or not, I, this lowly child, can ask you to kneel down and talk to me later?"
Upon hearing this, the two people's expressions froze, and then they started laughing.
"Haha, are you really good at fighting?"
"You need to have a powerful background to work out. You little brat, can you knock down all the dozen or so people behind me?"
The dozen or so people all smiled contemptuously. They naturally had a detached sense of superiority towards Chen Mu, an outsider.
But soon, Chen Mu slowly took out something from his bag, causing everyone to freeze on the spot.
"This...is this, a waist badge?"
"Where did he get the waist card? What kind of waist card is this?"
Qi Yue on the side also had a look of disbelief when she saw this sudden scene.
The waist medal is entirely made of gold, with two dragons hovering in it.
This is no ordinary waist badge...it is a royal waist badge!
Everyone was stunned, but Chen Mu scolded: "This is the waist card of the current King of Shuchuan, you common people, don't you dare to kneel down!"
In ancient times, there was a rule that seeing someone's personal status was like seeing someone else.
If the common people do not kneel down and bow down when they see the prince's token, they will be punished!
All of a sudden, the figures of dozens of people in front of them suddenly trembled!
The next moment, they all knelt down towards Chen Mu.
Before, he was still mocking this outsider, but now he knelt down. He was already embarrassed at his grandma's house.
Although they knelt down, Qi Hao and Qi Hao still asked curiously: "Where did you... get the Sichuan King's belt?"
Chen Mu smiled and said: "I was in Yizhou and I was kind to the King of Shuchuan. He rewarded me. Do you have any objections?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two young masters could not help but sink.
How could they have expected that this son-in-law would be related to the current King of Shuchuan?
A businessman facing that unique king with a different surname is really not worth mentioning.
Even if it's just such a token, it's not something they can afford.
"Madam, let's go."
After saying that, Chen Mu took Qi Yue's hand and crossed the crowd to go to a jelly shop.
"You are really kind to the current King of Shuchuan."
There was a bowl of jelly in front of her, but Qi Yue had lost interest now.
After that incident, I gradually became interested in this man named Xiaobai.
Chen Mu kept chewing the jelly, facing these common people, he did not want to reveal too much.
"Yes, I happened to save his life before, so he gave me the token."
"Then tell me, what does King Shuchuan... look like?"
Chen Mu smiled and said, "Are you curious about him?"
Qi Yue pouted and smiled, with a look of reverence on her face.
"Your Majesty, his poems shocked the world, and his martial arts defeated the Northern Grassland Cavalry. I wonder if there is any woman in the world who is not curious about him. Could you please tell me, does he look very iconic?"
Chen Mu took a sip of water: "Want to know? Then answer my question first."
"What?"
"What kind of family is this Mu family?"
"The Mu family? They are the head of the three major salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. Haven't you heard of them? They produce two-thirds of the salt in the country. Right now, the source of salt for my Qi family is supplied by the Mu family."
"So that's it..."
Chen Mu instantly understood that since the local salt merchant giant was responsible, everything could be explained clearly.
Now that the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce has formed a monopoly, the entire salt industry will be reshuffled.
These old salt giants are bound to be hit hard or even go bankrupt.
So he prepared to attack himself and eliminate the crisis directly at the source.
But he was just a salt merchant, so he would definitely not have the courage to attack Wang Ye.
And along the way, to be able to find myself so accurately would have been impossible if there weren't high-ranking officials behind the scenes planning.
"Okay, let me tell you, what does Chen Mu look like?"
Seeing the curiosity on Qi Yue's face, Chen Mu pointed at himself playfully.
"That's just me."
"Pfft, these girls will cry to death if they find out about it that day. But by the way, you shouldn't be called Xiaobai, right? How could anyone choose this name?"
Chen Mu said solemnly: "My name is Xiaobai, which means face."
In the following period, the entire Qi family was anxious about the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce.
Businessmen have a keen sense of smell, and the birth of fine salt means the coming of a new era.
Nowadays, there is a saying circulating in the entire Erdao Salt Business District.
Whoever gets the share of salt from the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce will win the world.
If you do not seize this trend, you will be abandoned by the times.
But it is too difficult for a second-rate family like the Qi family in Kuaiji City to get the share of salt from the Shuchuan Chamber of Commerce.
During this period, countless people were sent to discuss cooperation, but all came back in vain.
This is a major event related to the future trend of the family.
On this day, the old head of the Qi family called everyone together and held a clan meeting.
Even Chen Mu, who was the son-in-law, also left with Qi Yue.
There were dozens of people in the clan, and the head of the Qi family was sitting at his rightful place, looking solemnly at everyone.
"We usually fight openly and secretly in the clan, and they are so powerful. How come you are like a bunch of losers when you are fighting for the share of salt this time?"
The old man scolded, causing everyone in the third room to lower their heads.
Chapter completed!
