On the Qinhuai River, in the small boat that was a little dim because some lanterns were turned off, Xi Junyu looked around. Wu Qilong smiled and took a rice pot from the side and set it out. He went over to fill it with rice, and then put it in
He sat down at the table next to him and poured a plate of food into a bowl.
"It's like this every time after a lively meal. The food on the table is staggered here and there, but I don't know who is really full." In the flickering light, Wu Qihao picked up a handful of green vegetables and threw it into his mouth, making a crunching sound.
"At least I'm not hungry." Xi Junyu replied calmly.
"I feel hungry every time... Once I was very envious of Ning Liheng. Not long ago, we invited him to dinner, Shopkeeper Liao, Shopkeeper Luo..." Wu Qilong thought for a while, "He has been eating
Something, he is really eating something.”
"Irrelevant people will naturally be full."
"Too."
After a simple conversation, the two of them sat there and ate the food. Although it looked like some leftovers, it was indeed carefully cooked by famous chefs. It still tasted quite good. There was a sound of chewing.
The sound echoed in the cabin, and the water rippled gently. After a while, Wu Qilong put down his chopsticks and tapped his fingers on the table.
"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the night after tomorrow, everything will come to a showdown. At this time, no news is good news. Brother Xi, there shouldn't be any changes, right?"
"No." Xi Junyu shook his head, "Chen Er confessed that the assassination was instigated by others. The crisis before him has been resolved. There is no obstruction from Huang Shang. Everyone is happy. Although they are not going to get carried away, at least
Everyone can see clearly that if the emperor's business is taken down, everything in Dafang will be solved. From now on, there will be no retreat. Right now... they have no retreat and can only follow the current trend. Really
It’s impossible to change anything.”
"This is the good news." Wu Qilong poured himself a glass of wine, smiled, and drank it in one gulp, "I have already made preparations here. I won't say much. My father just asked Mr. Dong to make arrangements that night.
Let’s put it in order, haha, the weavers of our Wu family have always surpassed those of the Su family, so we just need to take advantage of it, and the rest will be left to you, the heads of the Weaving Bureau..."
After he said this, he smiled. After Xi Junyu over there finished eating and put down his bowl and chopsticks, he shook his head: "Two days later, Su Tan'er has basically no possibility of taking over the Su family. The Su family is fighting internally. Then
Helping idiots will only ruin all the family fortune. There is no future there. Do you really want to come to my Wu family?"
Xi Junyu glanced at him: "You know what I'm going to do."
"You and I have known each other for many years. I invited you to my Wu family a few years ago, but you refused because of Su Tan'er. I understand. Now you are a woman who has become another woman's wife. Tsk, you are really good..." Wu Qilong
He sighed, then looked at Xi Junyu's expression and smiled again, "Okay, I know that they haven't consummated their marriage yet. After the royal merchant ownership is decided, of course you can also manipulate some shopkeepers to deal with Ning Liheng so that they will never consummate their marriage.
Given the opportunity, Su Tan'er had to waste years of hard work, and she would definitely find someone to vent her anger on. But in the end, this is really difficult. Once Xi Junyu and the Su family collapse, with Su Tan'er's temperament, she will definitely still bear it with gritted teeth.
Get up, and you will help behind the scenes. After a few years or more, if she accepts your love, you may be able to be together, but it will be really difficult..."
Wu Qilong paused. Here, Xi Junyu said calmly: "By then, the Wu family has become an imperial merchant. The time has come. You can go to the world's number one cloth shop. And the Su family has accumulated decades of accumulation
With such a large scale, once the old lady dies, it will collapse and it will not be able to rise again for decades. We will no longer be rivals, and I am no longer a threat to you."
"I have never cared about such threats, it's just a pity." Wu Qilong frowned, "In Jiangning, I, my second brother, Xue Yan, and you, can't compare to Su Tan'er. Honestly speaking, in a few years
Time, she seizes one item and keeps pushing it until this point. This is the right way in the shopping mall. She is really good, and none of us are as good as her. When it comes to shopping malls, except for Su Tan'er, the younger generation only has Puyang Yi from the Puyang family, Tang
Tang Xu makes me feel ashamed. But she is a woman after all. Although I may not be able to do what she does if I put me in her position, she still has limitations after all and has many extraneous troubles."
Wu Qilong took a breath: "To be honest, I have never had the idea of dealing with the Su family specifically. If it weren't for this situation, the Xue family here would have been eyeing Huangshang, and Su Tan'er has been prepared
, then it was her who earned it, and no one competed with her. When she wanted to take action, everyone was focused on it. It can only be said that she was not lucky at the right time. Since she was in the game, she was deceitful.
That's it. But I never thought about who I was dealing with, it was just business. My Wu family has long been the number one cloth merchant in Jiangning. Brother Xi, Jiangning is just a pond. You could have gone to the sea, but do you really want to stay in this pond?
Where?"
Xi Junyu smiled: "It's just doing things, there's no big reason."
"That's true." Wu Qilong smiled and shook his head, "I know what you think. Life is just about doing things. If you want to do something, do it. But... you are just a woman. One day you can go higher.
When you are young, you may feel that these things are boring. Or if you find that this woman is ordinary a few years later and no longer has the same feeling as before, you will regret it. Do you know? I got married when I was eighteen years old, and it lasted three years.
After she passed away, I vowed never to touch another woman, but one year later, suddenly one day, when I thought of her, I forgot what she looked like, and I married two concubines... all women are the same."
"People are like this." Wu Qilong said, "Men like us can do big things if we want to. Women can't do anything, and they are all the same. If you let go of Su Tan'er, you will find that there are many more
Just like her. You know, many women like to show off and show off, whether she is pretending or real, as long as it happens once, I will never put my mind on her the second time. These are all small things, but
I have a message for you on these matters: It’s pointless to miss lovesickness. Since you don’t care, I’ll give up!”
"A lot of nonsense today."
"Oh, I know you may not listen, but I have to say it whenever possible, because there are still three days before this matter will be resolved. You plan to hang around her for ten or twenty years just because she didn't consummate the marriage.
Year? If you take one step forward, you can see the sea. Just one step is enough, and you will be completely different in the next ten or twenty years. It is good that the Su family's matter has been completed this time, but even if the emperor's business is given to the Su family, I will not
Keep it in mind, our Wu family is still the Wu family. If you and I join hands, the situation will never be limited to Jiangning."
Wu Qilong smiled: "Whatever this matter is, you have to consider it yourself."
The more someone knows how to do things, the firmer his will is. It’s not that Xi Junyu doesn’t know how to think about things. It will definitely be difficult to convince him, but he still has to speak when it’s time to speak. After he said this, Xi Junyu’s expression remained calm. After a long time
, just said.
"In the last two or three days, don't make any extraneous matters. Su Tan'er is not simple, and she may not have no plans. She has been preparing for more than two years by withdrawing funds from various places for the annual cloth. At this time, she has hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
They have all been smashed down, and when Huang Shang reveals it, all her expectations have been dashed, and no one can tell what she will do."
"Haha, Brother Xi, are you talking about lowering prices to increase sales?" Wu Qilong laughed happily, "I really wish she would do this, break the rules, everyone will come together to beat her, and the Su family will collapse faster. Your old man won't
Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang would not agree to let her do this. If she does this, she will drive the entire Su family crazy."
He shook his head, and his voice became louder due to happiness and confidence: "As for what I am wary of now, Su Tan'er and Shopkeeper Liao have tried their best to bring the Su family's reputation to such an extent. Su Yu is the most powerful person.
, back then, one person supported the Su family and established the third largest position in the Jiangning cloth industry. After that, he might be able to turn the tide, but he is old and the Su family cannot last long. Of course, this is a matter of the future, and now he has let go.
, the role it can play is also limited, who else is there? Could it be Brother Ning, who was ordered to do so at the critical moment, attracted everyone's attention, and turned the tide?"
Xi Junyu narrowed his eyes and looked tired. To be honest, he didn't like hearing this name very much. He was an incompetent person, but he married Su Tan'er anyway. At this time, the Su family actually pushed him out to temporarily take charge of the situation.
An incompetent person just took away what he could have had: "Don't be arrogant, I am the most talented person in Jiangning, and you are full of poetry. If you do dirty things secretly, be careful that he will criticize you later."
"Haha, that makes sense, that makes sense." Wu Qilong slapped the table and laughed, then looked slightly solemn, "This person is not stupid. Judging from his demeanor, he is actually much more sensible than everyone else in the Su family. How he behaves these days
Although he is clumsy, he is not very reckless. It shows that he still has the intention to think and learn with heart. However, the Su family's situation is such that he is inevitably anxious. If he is allowed to take charge of the situation for a few hours during normal times, it will be difficult to make a big difference.
Wrong, but now...he is a scholar in such a situation, and his opponents are not on the same level. What role can he, a smarter beginner, play? He is not involved in this matter from beginning to end.
All I can say is...it’s not the right time.”
"After this time, I believe he will understand a lot." Xi Junyu thought about some of Ning Yi's actions in the past few days, then shook his head lightly, then turned and walked out, "As long as there is nothing else, thank you for the hospitality."
"I don't say thank you for the kindness, you should repay it with a spring of water." Wu Qilong joked, then waved his hand, "Think about what I said, there is the sea in front of you, it's not worth it for a pond, the gate of Wu's house is
, open to you at any time. Oh, and there’s that sentence... It’s useless to just miss lovesickness..."
"Since you don't care, I'll give it up." Xi Junyu repeated as he walked out, his back melting into the darkness on the side of the ship, "It's best not to have such meetings again."
"The matter has been decided, and there will be no more accidents." Wu Qilong replied. When the hazy figure followed the boat and disappeared, he sighed, put aside the bowls and chopsticks in front of him, and stood up.
He came and turned to leave: "What a pity..."
The voice murmured and sighed, no matter what, Xi Junyu is the talent he has always wanted to recruit. If he wants to take charge of the Wu family in the future, he must have his own team. It is gratifying that the Wu family has the imperial business now, and some plans can be advanced.
The icing on the cake, but even if he can't get it, the Wu family is still the Wu family. He is still young, and there will be many opportunities to explore in the future. Only such talents are rare. What he really values is the future, not the current interests.
.
However, since there is such a benefit, of course there is no point in taking it. He stood on the side of the ship and thought of the panic that the Su family had been in for more than a month.
The old lady Su at the top of Jiangning was running anxiously, and the Xue family opposite was gloating about their misfortune, making them laugh and shake their heads.
How ridiculous.
The light on the river dimmed a little more, and the small boat sailed forward amid the waves.
It was bright and dark again. It was the 24th of August. When it was bright again, it was the morning of the 25th. Ning Yi slept in and missed the morning meeting. That night, it was the weaving
Since autumn is the harvest season, such a general meeting will be held every year among various industries.
Tomorrow's flight will be last year. The update may be unstable in the next few days. I will take my handbag with me. Uh, try to make it stable. If there is any problem, I will notify you in advance^_^ro
