The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​making friends with this prince? This matter..." Elder Tian hesitated for a while, and said, "You can't do more."

"We, as literati, need to take the right path of the imperial examination and behave properly so that we will not be talked too much."

He made a proper call, knowing that Tianyou could understand.

"Teacher, you can't be too correct. Just talk about today's matter. Didn't you listen to the prince? If you come to visit the prince in the future, go to him directly. Don't wait like we are today...

Didn't you catch what he said?

The prince may not even know that you came this morning...

Teacher, there is a steward Zheng in the palace, do you know about it? This person has a problem. "

Grand Master Tian: "Guan Zheng?" He said slowly, "It's Guan Shi who is in charge of the inner courtyard of the palace, I've heard of it."

He said softly: "The princess's natal family is also surnamed Zheng."

Yan Laoer understood now that he was not a close person, nor could he be an internal manager.

"You said he has a problem, what problem?" Mr. Tian asked.

Yan Laoer then talked about what he did in the morning, and that Guanshi Zheng came to have a conversation with him out of nowhere.

"...I'm waiting for the person behind this business who has the final say. The amount reported to the grain store is not low. Ordinary grain stores can't carry so much goods. There are two grain stores with relatively large plates that can eat it." , but you have to wait a while, they want to transfer the goods, and they also inspected my money, afraid that I don't have the money to pay the deposit, so I will toss them to play, hehe!"

Thanks to his daughter, he brought so much silver with him, hahaha!

Mr. Tian nodded: "You revealed your wealth, and you said at the grain shop that you want to collect a large amount of grain. If they want to sell it, they will find you. Before that, they will definitely get to know you first."

"I feel that when I came out from the government office and went to the street to inquire about the grain store, some people followed. As for our bottom line, it's all on the bright side. It just depends on whether they dare to sell it." Yan Lao Er said with a smile.

"In God's favor, do they dare?" Elder Tian asked with a smile.

"Why don't you dare? Teacher, you know about this. I think they are not strict in their actions. I can see that they are relying on, courageous, and overstretched after going through the palace today." Second Yan touched He touched the baggage beside him, which contained fifty taels of cash that his daughter-in-law asked his daughter to bring.

"Teacher, how much does the prince give you?" He asked.

Master Tian smiled and shook his head: "You, you guessed it through the wooden box?"

"Didn't the teacher talk about raising money before..." Yan Lao Er laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to come to the palace to raise money."

"Your teacher has been an evil guest who hit the autumn wind today." Grandpa Tian sighed softly: "It's not easy for the prince, just look at this wooden box..."

There was a little more emotion in his eyes: "It's much smaller than it was three years ago."

Second Yan: ...

It turns out that this is not the first time for you.

"Teacher, can I open it and have a look?"

"Open it."

Yan Laoer slowly opened the wooden box, and Yan Yu also came over, looking at it without blinking.

One five hundred taels, four fifty taels of silver bills.

"Seven hundred taels!" Yan Lao Er was a little excited, hey, isn't there enough money to buy grain?

"These are given by the Fu Zun, no, he said he lent them to me." Mr. Tian took out the bank notes in his sleeve.

Two hundred and two silver notes.

"Teacher, you are amazing!" Second Yan exclaimed.

"Well, since we're all exposed, we might as well go a few more places, God bless, let's stay for two more days."

"Stay back at the hotel?"

"live."

"Teacher, why is this? Is it because the teacher's house can't accommodate us? Then Xiao Er and I will go back to the village. Come early and leave late, so there will be no delay."

"Go home and live. If your mistress knows that I have the cheek to go door-to-door, she will definitely go with me. It's fine to go back to Huju for the teacher, but your mistress lives in the city, and her face...

I live in the inn, so that people will know that I am seeking for the public, not private. "

"Then teacher, let me change the room." Second Yan said.

He thought the price of the house was too high, so he wanted to lower it.

Mr. Tian: "No, whose property do you think the inn we are staying in is owned?"

Yan Laoer blinked, "It can't be... Wangfei's?"

Master Tian just looked at him and didn't speak.

"Teacher, you are an official in Huju, how do you know so much about the situation in Fucheng?" Yan Laoer asked in surprise.

"Of course someone told me to be my teacher." Elder Tian said, "It's not convenient these few days. I'll take you to see me when I have a chance in the future."

...

Back at the inn, after a brief meal, Mr. Tian began to visit his colleagues.

He didn't want the old woman at home to follow him, and he didn't even want to take Yan Lao Er with him, so he went out alone, returned after dark, washed up and went to sleep, and went out again at dawn...

What Yan Laoer can do is to try his best to handle the matter of buying grain.

He didn't go anywhere today, and has been waiting in the inn.

When it was almost noon, the clerk brought him a message saying that he was invited to drink tea in a teahouse two streets away.

After Yan Lao Er arrived, a grain merchant who claimed to be surnamed Mi was waiting there.

This surname is really simple and clear.

The rice and grain merchant said that he had heard on the street that he wanted to buy grain, and that he had grain in hand, and that he needed money urgently because of family problems, so he could sell it at a low price.

One to sell and one to buy.

Both sides know it well.

Yan Laoer didn't say a word of nonsense, first asked him how much he had, and then negotiated the price.

The other party wanted to sell more, but Yan Laoer was too difficult to deal with. In the end, the two parties settled on a figure, which was higher than what they sold in previous years, but not too much higher, and both parties were satisfied.

Once the time and place are agreed upon, the money will be paid and the delivery will be delivered. This deal is considered a deal.

That person didn't ask for a deposit to sign the contract, and Yan's second son didn't mention it, and left the teahouse one after another in a tacit understanding.

Yan Laoer took the first step and walked back to the inn quickly.

Yan Yu kept looking down from the window, and waited in the room when she saw her father walking this way.

"Father, why are you walking so fast and someone is chasing you?" Yan Yu was slightly excited.

"No, I'm afraid I'll be slow to pay for the tea." Yan Laoer said casually.

Yan Yu: ...

"Father, you did the right thing, and you'll hold them accountable for every cent!" Yan Yu clenched her small fists.

"Have we finished talking?"

"Well, three days later, at Dashiqiao, we will trade in the middle of the night, paying the money with one hand and the food with the other." Yan Lao Er said after drinking a glass of water.

"Hey! It really feels a bit sneaky to do bad things." Yan Yu laughed and said: "Don't be depressed, dad, first pass this level first, and don't think about other things first."

Yan Lao Er turned the teacup, "Your master is someone who can shout 'swear to defend the city', but now you are going door to door to collect money, I don't feel good in my heart."

Yan Yu was silent.

"This batch of food should not be enough. In a few days, I will take some people to Longxing and Fengming. I took them to Guiyuan last time. Let them go this time. In the future, we will go separately and blossom in multiple lines.”
