On the Qinhuai River, Xi Junyu looked around in the small painting boat, which seemed to be a little dim due to the extinguishing of some lanterns. Wu Qilong smiled and took a rice pot and put it out from the side, he also went over to fill the rice, then sat down at the table next to him, and poured a plate of vegetables into the bowl.
"It's like this every time after a lively event. The table is full of food, but I don't know who is really full." In the flickering lights, Wu Qihao threw a piece of green vegetables into his mouth, making a thud.
"At least not hungry." Xi Junyu replied lightly.
"I feel hungry every time... Once I was very envious of Ning Liheng. Not long ago, everyone had dinner and invited him, shopkeeper Liao, and shopkeeper Luo..." Wu Qilong thought for a while, "He has been eating, He's really eating."
"Irrelevant people will naturally be full."
"Too."
After a simple conversation, the two sat there and ate their food. Although it looked like some leftovers, it was indeed carefully cooked by a famous chef. At this time, it still tasted quite good. The sound of chewing sounded in the cabin, and the water wave swayed gently. After a while, Wu Qilong put down his chopsticks and tapped his fingers on the table.
"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, 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 ordered by others, the crisis in front of him has been broken, and the royal merchants are no longer obstructed, everyone is very happy, although they will not be dazzled, but at least Everyone can see clearly that after winning the imperial merchants, everything in the big house will be solved, and there is no way to retreat. It's impossible to change anything."
"This is the good news." Wu Qilong poured himself a glass of wine, smiled, and drank it, "I have already prepared it here, not to mention more, my father just asked Master Dong to arrange that night. Let’s start with the order, hehe, my Wu family’s weavers have always surpassed the Su family’s, so it’s enough to take advantage of preconceived ideas, and the rest will be handed over to the weaving bureau adults…”
After he said this, he smiled, and when Xi Junyu over there finished eating and put down the tableware, he shook his head: "Two days later, Su Tan'er basically has no chance of taking over the Su family. Helping the straw bag will only ruin all the family business, there is no future there, really don't 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. A few years ago, I invited you to come to my Wu's house. You refused because of Su Tan'er. I understand. Now you are a woman who has become someone else's wife, tsk, you really can..." Wu Qilong was all dressed up. Sighing, then looking at Xi Junyu's expression, he smiled again, "Okay, I know, they haven't consummated yet, after the ownership of the royal merchants is decided, of course you can also manipulate some shopkeepers to deal with Ning Liheng, so that they will never be consummated. Opportunity, Su Tan'er has put a lot of effort into the flames for several years, and she must find someone to vent her anger. But in the end, it's really difficult, Xi Junyu, once the Su family collapses, with Su Tan'er's temperament, she will definitely bear it with her teeth. , then you will help behind the back, after a few years or more, she will accept your love, you may be able to be together, but it is really difficult... "
Wu Qilong paused, here, Xi Junyu said indifferently: "And when the time comes, the Wu family has become a royal merchant, the time has come, you can go to the world's first cloth shop. And the Su family, accumulated for decades Fang has such a scale, once the old lady dies and collapses, he will not be able to get up again for decades. Everyone will no longer be opponents, and I will naturally have no threat to you. "
"I never cared about such threats, it's just a pity." Wu Qilong frowned, "Jiangning is the place. I, my second brother, Xue Yan, and you are no better than Su Tan'er. When it comes to time, she won't let go of one item, and has been pushing it until this point. This is the right way for shopping malls. She is really powerful, and we are not as good as her. When it comes to shopping malls, apart from Su Tan'er, the younger generation has only Puyang Yi and Tang Tang. Family Tang Xu can make me feel inferior. But she is a woman after all, although I may not be able to do what she does when I put me in her position, but she also has limitations and many extra 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, I and the Xue family would have their eyes on the royal merchants. Now that Su Tan'er is ready, , then it was her who earned it, she earned it, and no one competed with her. When she wanted to make a move, everyone was watching, and she could only say that her fate was not at the right time. Since she entered the game, she was intrigued That's it. But I never thought about dealing with anyone, it's just business. My Wu family has long been the number one cloth merchant in Jiangning. Brother Xi, Jiangning is just a pond. You could go into the sea, but you really want to stay in this pond. in?"
Xi Junyu smiled: "It's nothing more than doing things, how can there be so much truth."
"That's true." Wu Qilong shook his head with a smile, "I know what you think, life is just doing something, and if you want to do it, do it. But... just a woman, one day you will walk a little higher. At times, you may find these things boring. Or after a few years you find out that this woman is ordinary and no longer has the same feeling as before, and you will regret it. You know? I got married when I was eighteen, and three years later She died, and I swore never to touch other women, but a year later, one day, when I thought of her, I forgot what she looked like, and I married two concubines... all women are the same."
"Everyone is like this." Wu Qilong said, "Men of my generation, if you want to do something big, women can't do anything, and they are all the same, let go of Su Tan'er, you will find that there are many more Same with her. You know, a lot of women like to scratch their heads and make poses, whether she's pretending or being real, just one time, the second time I'll never put my mind on her. It's a small thing, but I'll send you a word on these things: It's useless to think straight, and if you don't care, I'll leave!"
"A lot of nonsense today."
"Oh, I know you may not listen, but as long as it is possible, I have to say it, because there are still three days before this matter will be resolved, and you plan to be around her for ten or twenty years because they don't have a consummate house. Years? Take one step forward and you will be able to see the sea, just one step, and you will be completely different in the next ten or twenty years. This time the matter of the Su family has become a good thing, but even if the royal merchants gave it to the Su family, I have never Take it to heart, my Wu family is still the Wu family. You and I will join hands, and the pattern will never be just in Jiangning. "
Wu Qilong smiled: "How about this matter, after all, you have to think about it yourself."
The more people who know how to do things, the more determined their will is. It's not that Xi Junyu can't think about things. It must be difficult to convince him, but he still has to speak when it is time to speak. After he said this, Xi Junyu's expression was still flat, and after a long time, he said.
"In the last two or three days, don't try to be extravagant. Su Tan'er is not simple, and she may not have nothing to do. She has withdrawn funds from various places for the Suibu matter, and has prepared for more than two years. At this time, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver have been prepared. It has already been smashed, and when the royal merchants are announced, all her expectations will be in vain, and it will be difficult for anyone to say what will happen."
"Hehe, Brother Xi is talking about lowering the price to make the goods?" Wu Qilong laughed happily, "I wish she did this, breaking the rules, everyone came to beat her, and the Su family collapsed faster. Your old man does not Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang will not agree to let her do this, if she does this, she will drag the entire Su family into the water and go crazy."
He shook his head, his voice raised with happiness and self-confidence: "I want to say that what I'm on guard against now, Su Tan'er and Shopkeeper Liao have done their best to bring the Su family's momentum to such a level, and Su Yu is the most powerful person. At that time, one person supported the Su family and established Jiangning's position as the top three. After that, he may be able to turn the tide, but he is old, and the Su family can't support it for long. Of course, this is something in the future, and now he has let go , can play a limited role, the rest, who else? Could it be the Ning brother who was ordered in danger, attracted the attention of everyone, and turned the tide?"
Xi Junyu squinted his eyes and looked lazy. To be honest, he didn't like hearing this name very much. The incompetent, but married Su Tan'er, and at this time the Su family even pushed him out to temporarily take charge. An incompetent generation took away what he could have: "Don't be arrogant, he is the number one talent in Jiangning, and his poetic talents are overflowing. You secretly do dirty things, and be careful that he will criticize you afterwards."
"Haha, it's reasonable, it's reasonable." Wu Qilong patted the table and laughed, then slightly solemn, "This person is not a fool, judging from his demeanor, he is actually much more sensible than everyone in the Su family, and he has been acting these days. Although he is clumsy, it is not very reckless. It can be seen that he still thinks and learns with heart. It is just that the Su family is in such a situation, and he is inevitably anxious. Wrong, but right now... He is a scholar in such a situation, and his opponents are not at the same level. What role can he play as a smart beginner? He is not able to participate in this matter from beginning to end, only Can say...it's not the right time."
"After this time, he must understand a lot." Xi Junyu thought about some of Ning Yi's actions over the past few days, then shook his head lightly, then turned around and walked out, "It's fine if there is nothing else, thank you for your hospitality."
"You don't say thank you for your kindness, you should repay the spring." Wu Qilong made a joke, then waved his hand, "Think about what I said, the sea is in front of you, it's not worth it for a pond, the gate of Wu's house , open to you at any time. Oh, and that sentence... It's useless to think straight..."
"If you don't care, I'll leave." Xi Junyu, who went out, repeated it, his back disappeared in the darkness on the side of the ship, "It's best not to have such a meeting again."
"This matter has been decided, when there will be no more changes." Wu Qilong replied, and when the hazy figure followed the boat away, he sighed, pushed aside the tableware and chopsticks in front of him, and stood up. Come and turn away: "It's a pity..."
The voice murmured, in any case, Xi Junyu is the talent he has always wanted to poach, and he will have to have his own team to take charge of the Wu family in the future. It is gratifying that the Wu family has won the royal merchants now. Some plans can be advanced and the icing on the cake, but even if they can't get it, the Wu family will still be the Wu family. He is still young, and there are many opportunities to open up in the future. Only such talents can be encountered. What he really values is the future, not the current interests.
However, since there are such benefits, of course, it doesn't matter if you take it easily. Standing on the side of the boat, he remembered the panic of the Su family for more than a month, the fear implicit in the radicalism, the anxious running of the old lady Su who had brought the Su family to the top of Jiangning by one person, and Xue Xue on the opposite side. With a gleeful smile on his face, he couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
It's ridiculous.
The light on the river dimmed again, and the small painting boat sailed forward amid the waves.
When it gets bright, it gets dark again. This is the twenty-fourth day of August. When it dawns again, it is the morning of the twenty-fifth day. Ning Yi slept late, so he missed the morning meeting. This evening was the annual general meeting of the cloth line held by the Weaving Bureau. Because autumn was the harvest season, in each line, such a general meeting would be held once a year.
