There is a beautiful woman, and you will never forget her when you see her. If you don’t see her for a day, you will miss her like crazy. The phoenix is soaring, and the world is looking for phoenix. But the beauty is here, and she is not on the east wall. Use the qin to say something to her, and write down your heartfelt words. When will you see her? , Comfort me in my hesitation. May your words be worthy of your virtue, and join hands to fight. Don't let me fly, and I will perish.
After one piece of music was played, Sima Xiangru became very excited about the piano, and then played another piece.
The phoenix comes back to its hometown, and travels all over the world to seek its phoenix. I haven't met you at that time, and I have no generals. How can I realize that I am now rising to the hall? There is a beautiful lady in the boudoir, and the room is close [ěr]. People are wandering [iá] poisoning my intestines. Why do we meet? The necks are like mandarin ducks, and we are soaring together! The phoenixes and phoenixes come to rest on me, and we have the entrustment of breeding [zī] and we will always be our concubines. Friendships are harmonious, and the hearts are harmonious, and we know each other in the middle of the night. Who is it? Both wings are raised and flying high, without feeling, my thoughts make me sad.
Su Ren didn't understand music. Seeing that Zhuo Wangsun across from him was as confused as himself, he felt funny in his heart. No wonder Sima Xiangru dared to ask for a phoenix and tease his daughter in front of his father. It turned out that Zhuo Wangsun also didn't understand music. .
Wang Ji on the side was twirling his beard with his hands and was attracted by the sound of Sima Xiangru's piano. He had a smile on his lips and closed his eyes to listen, feeling very comfortable.
Su Ren was bored as they played the piano and sang songs. He stared around at Zhuo Wangsun's house with his big eyes. It was really a wealthy family in Shu County. The furnishings and items in the house were all of good quality, but it was a little messy. At first glance, he was in trouble. The behavior of a householder is that he doesn't understand art at all, but he has to imitate others and pretend to be polite.
There is a sword hanging on the wall facing the door, and there are piles of bamboo slips on the left and right sides, with occasionally a few bronze or gold objects interspersed among them. Jiang Nuo's big house is covered in darkness, and lamps have to be lit in broad daylight. It was very uncomfortable. A black shadow appeared on the window, and Su Ren roughly guessed who it was.
More than a dozen servants stood behind a few people in a polite manner, with their hands on their lower abdomens, lowered their heads, and respectfully. Su Ren waved to one person, and the servant hurriedly came forward, saluted and whispered in a low voice: "Su Xiaowei" What are your orders?"
Su Ren pointed to a dark figure behind the window: "Go and see, who is that?"
The servant nodded, glanced around, and whispered a few words in Su Ren's ear. Su Ren's face lit up with joy, and he reached out and took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and handed it over. The happy servant quickly knelt down and kowtowed. , causing several servants standing not far from Su Ren to glare angrily.
Fuqin pays attention to the artistic conception. Ever since Sima Xiangru saw Zhuo Wenjun, he could never forget that person and those eyes. Zhuo Wenjun was beautiful, but he was not to the point where he could conquer a country or conquer a city. It can only be said that Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun are bastards who look at each other with mung beans.
After playing the last note, Su Ren stood up and clapped. The sound of his two palms clapping shocked everyone in the room: "Okay! It's really the best in the world. Brother Sima's piano skills are extraordinary. Don’t know what the song means?”
Wang Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The sound of the piano has been disturbed by your slaps, and the original artistic conception is gone."
"Ah! Aren't we supposed to applaud and congratulate good things?"
"Hey! Play the piano to the ox!" Sima Xiangru stood up, saluted Wang Ji, and walked back to his seat.
Although Zhuo Wangsun didn't understand the sound of the piano, he still heard Sima Xiangru's singing clearly. After just listening to a few sentences, he already guessed that these two guys didn't have good intentions. He also saw the figures outside the window, and he was even more angry. He had just suppressed The anger that had gone down rose again.
Before Wang Ji could say anything, Zhuo Wangsun said, "Huh! Your disciple has come to humiliate me again. Don't you think it's too much?"
Su Rendao: "One of the talented and beautiful ladies is unmarried and the other is unmarried. No, married is the same as unmarried. It is normal for Brother Sima to pursue your wife. Why is Shopkeeper Zhuo so angry?"
"Exactly! Wenjun is both talented and beautiful, and he and Mr. Sima are a perfect match. This is a good thing." Wang Ji chuckled. The main purpose of his visit today was to agree to Su Ren's proposal to marry Sima Xiangru.
Zhuo Wangsun waved his hand: "You said the same, Lord County? My daughter is a widow at home. Not to mention that she doesn't want to get married now. Even if she wants to get married, she must have her parents' orders and a matchmaker. We..."
Su Rendao: "This is exactly why I invited Mr. Wang to come here today. Why does Shopkeeper Zhuo have to be so tough? To be honest with Shopkeeper Zhuo, we have already brought all the betrothal gifts."
With a wave of his hand, Huang Shisan handed the gift list in his hand to Su Ren, and Su Ren handed it to Zhuo Wangsun again. Zhuo Wangsun raised his hand and knocked the bamboo slip to the ground. Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Zhuo Wangsun to be like this.
unreasonable.
"Please, everyone, you are not welcome in our Zhuo family!"
As Zhuo Wangsun's friend and county magistrate, Wang Ji looked a little embarrassed. Being kicked out by others was the biggest insult to him as a county magistrate, not to mention that the person who drove them out was a businessman. Wang Ji was furious as he flicked his sleeves.
He walked away hummingly.
Su Ren glanced at Zhuo Wangsun, shook his head and sighed, lowered his head and picked up the bamboo slips on the ground. He pulled Sima Xiangru's clothes: "Let's go, don't worry, I will definitely let you hold the beauty back home!"
Sima Xiangru smiled helplessly and followed Su Ren out of Zhuo Mansion.
Zhuo Wangsun was furious again. Before the guests could go out, he started to lose his temper. The servants and servants in the room seemed to be running out one by one. Zhuo Wenjun stepped in the door and was about to give his father a few words of advice.
Zhuo Wangsun pointed at Zhuo Wenjun and roared: "Listen to me, if you dare to do anything that insults the Zhuo family's family tradition, I will not recognize you as my daughter!"
Zhuo Wenjun's tears flowed down his cheeks. Zhuo Wangsun gritted his teeth. His daughter was indeed interested in that Sima Xiangru. She raised her hand and threw a tea bowl towards Zhuo Wenjun. Fortunately, the old housekeeper beside him had quick eyesight and quick hands.
, otherwise Zhuo Wenjun will have to break up.
Su Ren and Sima Xiangru returned home. When they talked about Zhuo Wangsun's sudden outburst, they both felt that this guy had a split personality. The marriage between the Zhuo family and the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce was actually the best choice. It only had benefits and no harm to both parties. With their son-in-law and
With Su and Ren, who else would the Zhuo family be afraid of among the merchants in Shu County? But why Zhuo Wangsun didn't agree and didn't even give Wang Ji face, this made Su Ren feel strange.
"Lao Liu, what progress have you made over there? What can you find out?"
Liu Gao hesitated for a long time: "It's nothing else, it's just a little strange."
"Tell me?"
"According to our information, the Zhuo family was an iron smelting master in Shu County as early as the period of Emperor Wen. They not only manufactured weapons to supply the army, but also made a large number of agricultural tools, and many of them were shipped to Yelang and Qiang areas. Even the Southern Barbarians had theirs.
people."
"Is there such a thing? Not to mention other places, our merchants have not found anything suspicious in Yelang and Qiangdi, let alone the Zhuo family's farm tools."
"They don't transport it themselves, someone picks it up somewhere regularly."
"Can you find out where it is?"
Liu Gao shook his head: "I haven't found out yet that the Zhuo family made their fortune precisely because of doing business with these foreigners."
Sima Xiangru breathed out: "Hey! That's it. Because we manage the Yelang and Qiang lands and induce people from the two lands to kill each other. Who has the heart to farm? The Zhuo family's farm equipment business will naturally plummet. He can't be angry.
This is weird!"
Su Ren smiled: "This old guy hid it so well, he even hid it from us. Now that he has discovered it, he will be more confident. As long as the Zhuo family's business is cut off, I don't believe that the Zhuo family will not give in!"
"Absolutely not! The Zhuo family not only makes farm tools but also weapons for the Han army. The Zhuo family has some connection with the army. If you offend him, you will offend the army!"
"Are you talking about Tang Meng?" Su Ren looked at Sima Xiangru: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion!"
Sima Xiangru shook his head: "With the Zhuo family's business, I'm afraid Tang Meng will not take it seriously."
"It's true that the Zhuo family has been smelting iron for generations, from the former Zhao State to the current Han Dynasty, at least for hundreds of years. With such a family background, a military general like Tang Meng who became a monk on the way will definitely not take it seriously. At least
He is also a powerful person in the court, and he must be a powerful person in the military!"
Sima Xiangru nodded: "You have just become a captain. If you offend some powerful people in the military, it will not be of any benefit to you. In my opinion, let's forget about it? A man should be able to conquer the world, so why worry about being homeless?"
"
Su Ren looked at Sima Xiangru's lonely eyes and put his arm around Sima Xiangru's shoulders: "Stop pretending! With such a good marriage, I think that Zhuo Wenjun may not have this intention. As long as you two are interested, I will."
Find a way to snatch Zhuo Wenjun away from Zhuo Wangsun."
"Snatch it?"
"Yes! Grab it! I have asked Hawking to step on the plate, and we will do it tonight. Do you want to follow me and have a look?"
"Ah! Do you really want to rob someone?"
Su Ren smiled and did not answer. Sima Xiangru hurriedly caught up and grabbed Su Ren: "This is too exaggerated. If others find out, how can you, a dignified captain of Shu County, still have the nerve to walk on the street?
"
"Can I take a car? I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Don't worry, if you really take it back, it will definitely be Zhuo Wangsun who is embarrassed. Men should be a little shameless."
Before dinner, Huo Jin came back with Shi Bao. Both of them were sweating profusely and looked happy. They couldn't wait for dinner and reported the good news to Su Ren. Although the Zhuo family was powerful, it was a pity that there were few people. When they arrived at Zhuo Wangsun's place
There are only one boy and two girls in one generation. The Zhuo family has been in business for generations and has never offended any ruthless people, and they don't pay much attention to the care of the home.
"I took a good look and went in from the backyard. Mrs. Sima's room is in the east courtyard. No one was watching along the way. There was only a gardener and a few servants serving Mrs. Sima. I found people, went out the back door, and turned into Liuyuan.
As long as you go to the street, they can't chase you even if they want to!"
Shi Bao nodded: "Exactly, we don't need a few people, just me and Hawking are enough, I guarantee it won't take more than a stick of incense!"
Hawking also nodded repeatedly.
Su Ren shook his head: "No, you two can't handle a gardener and a few servants. You can't hurt anyone this time. You have to get them out and let Zhuo Wangsun know that it was us. As long as Zhuo Wenjun
Stay one night with us, even if Zhuo Wangsun doesn't want to, Brother Sima will become his son-in-law, hahahaha..."
Huo Jin and Shi Bao looked back at Sima Xiangru and giggled along with Su Ren. (To be continued)
