Chapter 170: Negotiations (Monthly Pass)

When I arrived at the Xun family, it was still early. The reason why Chen Kaizhi came early was actually thinking about whether he could meet Ya'er.

After making a date, Xun Ya seemed to be always in the boudoir, but it was difficult for her to meet. Xun You and Xun's mother seemed to feel that they should avoid meeting each other for the time being, so they would never mention this.

But he is a future son-in-law, so he should be thick-skinned. If you pretend to be deaf and dumb, then he will come early. Anyway, the salt merchant will definitely not arrive so soon, so it is hard to keep asking his room to wait.

But after arriving at the small hall and sitting down, the one who received him was not Xun’s mother, but Xun You and Xun You’s nephew.

Chen Kaizhi recognized this person, and called Xun Congwen. Both sides nodded their heads. Chen Kaizhi greeted Xun You. Xun You smiled and said, "Come, come, come, nephew, have tea. Today I have invited several old families to come. You will be here to accompany you later. Oh, have you had breakfast?"

Chen Kaizhi shook his head and said, "I came urgently, I didn't eat it."

Xun You angrily said, "How can you not eat it? Alas, you kid don't care about your body at all."

After saying that, Xun You ordered Xun Congwen to go to the kitchen to explain and bring the breakfast.

As soon as the nephew left, Xun You looked around and suddenly turned into a sneaky look: "How strange, nephew, something strange happened."

Seeing that he looked scared, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but feel a little shocked. Did something happen?

Chen Kaizhi hurriedly said, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

Xun You frowned and said with a distressed look: "Damn it, in the past few days, Zhuo Jing has not only not lost his temper, but has also become much gentler to me. Do you think it's strange?"

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Ah...Is this... weird?"

Xun You lamented: "How isn't this strange? Isn't there a saying that if you don't beat me for three days, you can lift the tiles in the room? Zhuo Jing is used to being hot-tempered. He will touch him if he doesn't agree. But three days have passed. In the past three days, he has never even blushed. Kaizhi, is this your credit?"

Chen Kaizhi was speechless, and he suddenly felt strange: "Uncle, can you say the truth? Let the love's personality...but what the students have seen before, gentle and virtuous?"

Xun You suddenly blushed: "This... what are you talking about? My husband's daughter, who looks the most like me, has no one with a better temperament than her. You... don't slander Ya'er's innocence, nonsense, and nonsense out of thin air."

Chen Kaizhi had to beat him up. This was just his suspicion. Thinking about the time he spent with Xun Ya, it was pleasant, and his shy and elegant look made people feel like he was a good wife and mother.

OK, it’s more important to do a serious matter.

After sitting for a while, Xun's mother came, but still no longer saw Xun Ya. Chen Kaizhi felt a little disappointed.

Chen Kaizhi bowed to Xun's mother and said, "I wonder what the salt merchants are reacting?"

Xun's mother said: "I have posted a post. The Xun family is also a family with a surname. I want to ask them to touch me, but how should I tell them at that time? I am a woman after all, and it is not convenient to meet them, but I still have to rely on you."

A trace of cunning flashed through Chen Kaizhi's eyes and said with a smile: "Please leave it to the students."

After Chen Kaizhi and Xun's mother made some arrangements, the salt merchants arrived.

The three major salt merchants in Jinling reluctantly arrived at the Xun family. The Xun family is a tribe in Jinling, and the status of salt merchants is a bit more despicable than that.

But this is just the surface. If salt and iron are involved, if there is not enough backer behind it, how can you get enough official salt and salt attractions?

Whether it is a salt farm, local officials, or even the court, if the relationship is not strong enough, this transaction cannot be interfered with.

Therefore, the salt merchants looked down upon by the aristocratic families, but the energy behind them was amazing.

Of course, the three major salt merchants are led by the Lu family. In addition, there are the Liu family and the Yang family. The official salt operated by these three companies account for more than half of the Jinling official salt market. However, now, these three people come together, but they are quite worried.

The imperial court issued an edict, and the layout of the salt affairs in Jinling changed drastically, and the management rights of the salt farm were actually in the hands of the county prince's mansion.

In the past two days, they have visited His Highness the Prince, but it seems that His Highness does not look like a reliable person.

You talked to him about salt, he talked to you about hunting, you talked to him about Fengyue, he changed his mind and suddenly said that one must have IQ, what is IQ, and then he met a man named Mr. Fang, who said something in a fog, but he didn't understand what it meant.

However, his own business should not be a problem. However, I heard recently that the prince seemed to have to add a salt merchant to a good piece of cake, but suddenly one more person came to eat it, which made the three major salt merchants feel uneasy.

The Xun family posted a post and they had to give this favor. The leader was Lu Qian, followed by Liu An of the Liu family, and Yang Xiong of the Yang family. They fell into a sedan chair, and then Xun You took Chen Kai to the middle gate to greet each other and greeted each other.

Chen Kaizhi stood behind Xun You, without showing any sign of dew, but was secretly looking at the three people.

Among the three, Yang Xiong looked like he was empty-handed, while Liu An seemed to be a smart person. He was not good at speaking, or he was deliberately hiding his shortcomings, and was also looking at something. Such people are often very cunning.

Lu Qian is a versatile person. He and Xun You seem to have some relationships. After talking and joking, they are welcomed into the hall.

The guest and the host sat down, poured the tea, and then some dried fruits.

"Brother Xun, who is this son? Why did he look at him before?" Lu Qian looked at Chen Kaizhi and was with him.

Xun You said with a red face: "This is my son-in-law, I believe you have heard of it a little, and you are called Chen Kaizhi."

Chen Kaizhi...

All three of them looked at Chen Kai's eyes more.

Since he mentioned himself, Chen Kaizhi quickly got up and saluted them one by one: "I have met you all the uncles."

Lu Qian smiled and said, "This is a talented man from Jinling."

"Uncle Shi laughed." Chen Kaizhi said: "I'm asking you all Uncle Shi to come today, because you have something to ask for."

Lu Qian and the other two looked at each other and looked at each other. You are a scholar, what are you asking us for?

However, such a salt merchant was the most skillful person. Lu Qian stroked his beard and said, "I just said it's okay."

Chen Kaizhi said: "Don't you, uncles, know that His Highness, Prince Dongshan, has taken over the salt affairs now?"

Lu Qian and others frowned slightly, "What are you talking about salt?"

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "Students are not talented, so they interact with His Highness. In order to rectify the salt affairs, His Highness ordered the students to get involved."

It's him!
