Chapter 118: Hands-off shopkeeper
Ever since what happened on the night of June 7th, Li Chenan's life has become peaceful and peaceful.
The neighbors in Guangling City found that the peach blossom wine was selling very well these days, but the Huo family still did not do anything to Li Chenan.
I even heard that the old head of the Huo family invited Li Chenan to the Huo Mansion as a guest. After that, Huo Chuanming and Huo Tongpan went to the tavern in Erjinggou Alley many times, but instead of drinking in the shop, they drank in the backyard. Chatting over tea with Li Chenan.
When I came to the Huo family, I was also afraid of the reputation of the Fish and Dragon Society, so I resorted to wooing Li Chenan.
But if this happens, it will probably be a matter of time before Guangling Powder is replaced by Peach Blossom Brew.
Nowadays, more than 2,000 kilograms of peach blossom wine are supplied to the market every day, and they are all sold out in a short period of time. This leaves a huge space for Guangling Powder, so the two families can still live in peace.
Can the output of peach blossom stuffing be increased in the future?
This has become a speculation among people after dinner.
In addition, after the Shen family's granary was burned down, Shen Qianshan, the head of the Shen family, was so angry that he suddenly fell ill in bed and could no longer take care of business, so the purchase of autumn grain fell on Shen Qiaodie's shoulders.
That girl Shen left Guangling City on the ninth day of June and went to various places in the south of the Yangtze River.
I heard that the Huo family and the Shen family were also engaged, but the eldest daughter of the Shen family was not the eldest grandson of the Huo family, but a concubine.
This makes many people feel sorry for them, and they feel that if the Shen family had not broken off the engagement to the Li family at that time, and if Miss Shen had married Li Chenan, how could the Shen family be in such embarrassment as it is now?
With such a strong son-in-law, the Shen family was originally in the grain business, and the two families complemented each other well. This son-in-law's wine shop was able to expand a lot, and both parties could make a lot of money.
Nothing in the world is what it is, so it boils down to the fact that the Shen family is too powerful. They never expected that Li Chenan would rise to prominence, so they lost a lot of sympathy for the Shen family, and their words were more ridiculing.
The head of the Huo family, Huo Xi, and his grandson Huo Shufan also left Guangling City on the tenth day of June. It was said that they were going to Kyoto. They heard that the eldest grandson of the Huo family had been smitten by Concubine Li and was very likely to become the sixth princess's consort.
The Huo family is really very lucky. With the status of being a royal relative, I don't know if they will come back to bite Li Chenan again.
The granary of Cai Zhengyao, another grain merchant in Guangling City, was also burned down by a fire that night, but Cai Zhengyao didn't seem to be sad when he woke up.
He would still go to the tavern under the banyan tree to drink Huapingchun, which was now three hundred cents a tael, and even brought his son Cai Qizhi with him.
On June 13th, Cai Zhengyao also left Guangling City and traveled to various places in the south of the Yangtze River, while Cai Qizhi became the new shopkeeper of the Banyan Tree Bistro.
After that, Li Chenan, the upstart from Guangling, spent more time in Zhuoyu Xiaozhu.
Boil Yu Xiaozhu has a concierge. The people in Guangling City don't know him, but Huo Chuanming knows him. He is Ye Po, the former guest of the Huo family!
This made Li Chenan become even more mysterious in Huo Chuanming's eyes.
He didn't know how Li Chenan conquered Ye Po. He only knew that there were really great people around that boy.
With the Guanglingzhou branch of the Fish and Dragon Club in his hands, I am afraid it can really reach a higher level!
…
…
Boil the rain small building.
The rain fell softly.
So water flowers bloomed on Huaping Lake.
The rain washed away the dust on the bamboo leaves. Looking around, the bamboo clump on the shore became greener, and the old willow was also newer.
Sitting on a balcony near the lake in Boi Yu Xiaozhu, Wen Xiaowan neither went to Huaping Lake, which had a unique smell in the mist, nor to the lush green willow bamboos.
Her eyes fell on Li Chenan's face, and there was already a look of surprise on her face, which was wearing a scarf.
Li Chenan was making tea, using bamboo leaves brought by Shang Di.
Of course he knew that Wen Xiaowan was looking at him intently, because the moment Wen Xiaowan came in, he had already recognized her——
Because she is wearing a hijab.
What's more, this woman's eyebrows are very beautiful, and there is a conspicuous mole on her right earlobe!
She was the heroine I met on the second floor behind the Boiled Rain Villa that night!
But, how could she be with the Shang family?
She seemed to recognize herself when she got up.
Li Chenan didn't try to poke holes in it. He poured two cups of tea and handed them over to Shang Di. He smiled and said: "Brother, if you talk about the tune of this poem, I really don't understand it. I just heard you hum it casually.
Come on, I think it’s pretty good. If it’s paired with musical instruments...especially Xiao, it will definitely become famous all over the world!”
Shang Di laughed and said, "You are so humble, let me introduce you."
He pointed at the girl next to him, "Her name is Wen Xiaowan, and she is in the Ningxiang Pavilion... Although she is in the Ningxiang Pavilion, she is innocent because she has a mission!"
Li Chenan was shocked, and then he realized that this girl was actually the top boss of Ningxiang Pavilion!
The appearance fee starts at 100 taels of silver, and reservation is required for this popular top spot!
He turned to Wen Xiaowan, who smiled slightly, arched her eyebrows, and took off her face towel, revealing her delicate and beautiful face.
She bowed slightly and spoke a gentle word between her lips and teeth: "My little lady has met Mr. Li!"
Li Chenan smiled brightly, "I've heard about this girl for a long time, and I'm honored to meet you today."
Shang Di picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Brother, I won't hide it from you. Miss Wen is a member of the Imperial City's outer sect. I'll bring her here today. I'm afraid it won't be good for you to take over the Ningxiang Pavilion."
Familiar, but Xiaowan is very familiar with it."
"Secondly... I'm also worried that there will be some misunderstandings. After all, the Imperial City Division is not very friendly to the Fish and Dragon Society. If Xiaowan does something unfavorable to you without knowing it, then things will be big."
Saying this, Shang Di turned to Wen Xiaowan again, "There is a mixed bag of fish and dragons in the Fish and Dragon Club, but this Captain Li... you can rest assured of his actions. I mean, in the future in this Guangling City, if he needs
It’s your duty to help with some help!”
"Slave, you obey!"
Wen Xiaowan raised her eyes at Li Chenan again, feeling increasingly curious.
"Thank you, brother. Don't tell me, I'm a little worried about the account books of Ningxiang Pavilion."
"You know I'm very lazy, otherwise..."
Li Chenan turned to Wen Xiaowan again, "I will leave all the matters related to Ningxiang Pavilion to you to help me take care of it. You only need to make an account book every month and tell me the income and expenditure status. How about it?"
Wen Xiaowan was startled, thinking that the Ningxiang Pavilion was making a lot of money every day, and he would actually hand over this business to herself!
She turned to Shang Di, who pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's fine, he will go to Kyoto with me in a few days. You will be a big help to him by helping him take care of the Ningxiang Pavilion."
"Then the matter is settled."
Li Chenan waved his hand and threw the account book to Wen Xiaowan, "For wine at Ningxiang Hall, you go to Taohuaxi Winery to find Su Muxin."
The three of them listened to the rain, drank tea, and chatted for a while. Shang Di and Wen Xiaowan left Zhuyu Xiaozhu in a carriage.
On the carriage.
Wen Xiaowan said to Shang Di: "The boy who killed Song Yuanping that night should be Li Chenan!"
Shang Di was surprised, "That's right?"
"Reply to Your Majesty, this slave is not wrong!"
"...This matter is rotten in your stomach!"
