Chapter 15 Breaking off the Engagement

Shen Qianshan has actually been in the front shop for a long time.

There were still some doubts in his mind at this moment, because the craftsmen said that the layout and decoration of the shop were designed by the young master of the Li family himself.

This made him feel a little strange, because the decorations were very strange.

The craftsmen said that Li Chenan was going to sell wine——

Is wine so easy to sell?

The most famous wine in Guangling City is Guangling San brewed by the Huo family.

The Huo family in Guangling has been brewing wine for hundreds of years. Ever since Huo Yao, the previous head of the Huo family, brewed Guangling San eighty years ago, the Huo family has almost occupied the huge wine market in Guangling City.

The contemporary head of the Huo family, Huo Xi, is an even more powerful figure. He expanded the scale of Huo's winery, improved the brewing equipment, and greatly increased the output of Guangling powder.

Nowadays, Guangling San is not only famous in the south and north of the Yangtze River, but also has entered the Jade City of Kyoto, taking away half of the market share from Kyoto Qujia.

Ruilu is Qujia's signature product. The quality of the wine is slightly better than Guangling Powder, but the output of Ruilu is limited and the price is much more expensive than Guangling Powder.

So there is a saying in Jade City - princes, princes and ministers drink auspicious dew, and ministers and ministers like Guangling.

After all, there are not many princes, princes and ministers, but there are many officials below the rank of minister.

So in fact, Guanglingsan has become the largest-selling wine in Ningguo.

There is no one!

In addition, the Huo family is a businessman who excels in business. Starting from Huo Yao's generation, they have paid special attention to the cultivation of family children. By Huo Xi's generation, there have been many talents under the sect.

There are those who passed the scientific examination and became officials.

There are also people who become officials through donations.

Among them, Huo Xi's eldest son Huo Baiyang is the most dazzling. He is only thirty-six years old now. He was a Jinshi in the third year of Zhaohua. He has been promoted to Shaozhanshi of Zhanshi Mansion. He is a true close minister of the prince and is in the fourth rank.

With a strong official background and the huge profits brought by Guangling Powder, the Huo family has become a wealthy family in Guangling City.

The third generation of the Huo family has also begun to rise to prominence. Huo Baiyang's eldest son Huo Shufan is already a member of the imperial family at the age of seventeen, and is the first of the three great talents in Guangling. His future is limitless!

Huo Shufan is interested in his daughter Shen Qiaodie, he is his son-in-law who can ride a dragon!

Compared with Huo Shufan, this Li Chenan is not even worthy of carrying shoes.

Li Chenan, a fool who can't read, is planning to sell wine...

Shen Qianshan showed a sarcastic smile and shook his head, feeling that he was overthinking——

Li Chenan just opened a tavern, so of course he had to go to Huo Ji's shop to purchase goods.

But in this way, he has no advantage at all in terms of price. Why should people spend more money to drink in this tavern?

Wouldn't it be more comfortable to buy a bucket of wine from Huo Ji's shop and drink it slowly at home?

Therefore, when Shen Qianshan came, this tavern had closed down before it even opened!

Where does this fool have any business credentials?

Even if he has a huge fortune, he will lose it all. No wonder Li Wenhan wants to drive him out of the house. Fortunately, his daughter has not officially married him yet.

Otherwise, it would be a miserable life.

This marriage certificate must be taken back today, otherwise even the Shen family may be implicated by him.

Shen Qianshan walked towards the pavilion in the corner of the yard.

There was a warm smile on that chubby face.

"My dear nephew, how are you doing these days?"

Li Chenan also smiled.

"Uncle, please sit down... Uncle is here to retrieve the marriage certificate, right?"

Shen Qianshan didn't expect Li Chenan to go straight to the topic, which was good, as it saved a lot of hypocrisy.

"Ah, this... this little girl has no virtue and is really not worthy of my nephew. My uncle thinks that this twisted melon is not sweet either. It cannot delay my nephew from marrying a better wife and pursuing a better future. So, …”

Of course, these words were sarcastic. Shen Qianshan thought that Li Chenan could not understand the meaning, because this fool did not understand the world and would feel that he had lowered his stature.

Li Chenan interrupted Shen Qianshan's words because it was not his character to be grinding and complaining.

"Thousands of dollars are indeed not worthy of me."

Shen Qianshan was startled when he saw Li Chenan take out the red wedding document from his arms and place it on the table.

For the sake of the marriage certificate, Shen Qianshan didn't care about Li Chenan's words. He said haha, "My wise nephew is broad-minded. Thank you very much, uncle!"

He stretched out his hand to get the marriage certificate, but unexpectedly Li Chenan pressed it on the marriage certificate, "Wait a minute!"

His hands froze in the air, and he asked doubtfully: "What does this mean, nephew? My uncle thought that since we hate each other, it would be better to break up on peace."

Li Chenan nodded, "What my uncle said is absolutely true. My nephew thinks that since this matter is going to be broken up, we should not owe each other anything... I will return this marriage letter to you, but I can't let you owe me my love. I have to let my uncle." I can take back this marriage certificate with peace of mind, so that my daughter can find a good son-in-law with no guilt, so..."

Li Chenan smiled at Shen Qianshan, and three words popped out between his eyebrows: You understand!

Shen Qianshan was stunned for three breaths. First, he did not expect that Li Chenan would speak these words very naturally and smoothly, not as stupid as before.

The second is that it took him three breaths to understand what Li Chenan meant——

This guy actually knows how to beat around the bush?

Don’t they owe each other?

He returned the marriage letter and the Shen family indeed owed him a favor, so how should they repay his debt?

Shen Qianshan also laughed, "There are only two of us here, uncle and nephew. You make a price!"

Li Chenan raised a finger.

"One thousand taels of silver?"

The price was a bit high, but it was worth it to get her daughter out of this trap. Shen Qianshan was about to say deal, but Li Chenan shook his head.

"Ten thousand taels? This...nephew, this is not how a lion opens its mouth, right?"...

"No, your daughter is worth one hundred taels of silver!"

The smile on Shen Qianshan's face faded for an instant, but then it grew again. He was a shrewd businessman, and he decided to put up with his daughter's humiliation until he got the marriage certificate.

Wait until my daughter regains her freedom.

Wait until her daughter gets married to Huo Shufan.

The third bedroom of the Li family is not welcomed by the other two bedrooms. I think if I use the Huo family's help to tidy up Li Chen'an's two bedrooms, there will be no reaction.

"make a deal!"

"Uncle, please be happy!"

Shen Qianshan took out a one hundred tael silver note, and Li Chenan pushed the marriage certificate over.

When Shen Qianshan got the marriage certificate, a stone fell from his heart.

Li Chenan took out a hundred taels of silver notes, and everything in the tavern will proceed smoothly.

This is a win-win situation.

Shen Qianshan put the marriage certificate into his arms and without saying a word, he stood up and glanced at Li Chenan with disdain in his eyes.

Li Chenan raised his eyebrows but didn't take it seriously.

"Uncle, I'm going to make wine. How about selling me your grain at a cheaper price?"

Shen Qianshan had already walked out of the pavilion, wondering what other wine you could make.

No matter how good it is, can it be better than Guangling Powder?

He turned back and glanced at Li Chenan: "I, the Shen family, will not sell you the food to feed the dogs!"

"You, a businessman...can't become a great person!"

"When did you learn to be sharp-tongued? But this tavern of yours... will be closed down within a month!"

"What if it doesn't go bankrupt in a month?"

This was not what Li Chenan said.

These words came from behind Shen Qianshan.

Shen Qianshan turned around and saw a man and three women walking in.

They passed by Shen Qianshan. Shen Qianshan was stunned for a moment. The girl who just spoke seemed to have seen him before. She...she seemed to be the third lady of Zhongli Mansion!

How did she end up in this shabby place?

Judging from what she said...it seemed like she wanted to stand up for Li Chenan!

When did this silly boy lean against the big tree in Zhongli Mansion?

In just a moment, Shen Qianshan thought a lot. He quickly bowed and said, "Hello, Miss Third."

Zhongli Ruoshui turned back and raised his eyebrows, "Do you know me?"

"Back to Miss Third, I will sink into Qianshan."

"Oh, Qiaodie's father... then you go, remember not to speak ill of this tavern again!"

Shen Qianshan's bowed body was slightly startled, "The villain knows."

He exited the small courtyard and walked out of the small shop outside. He stood in front of the shop door for a while and took a rough look at it. Only then did he suddenly realize that this fool was completely different from the past.

Of course, this was not the most important thing. What surprised him was that given her status as the third young lady of Zhongli Mansion, why would she condescend to come to this tavern?

When she entered the small courtyard, Li Chenan was sitting in the pavilion without moving.

Who gave him the courage?

You have to ask your daughter about this!

Shen Qianshan left in confusion, and Li Chenan looked at the handsome young man in the small courtyard with a wry smile.

He had already heard about the results of the literary meeting on the third day of March. There was no leader, which meant that at least one poem was comparable to his own song "Die Lian Hua".

This handsome young man didn't get the leader. Did he come here to get back the hundred taels of silver?

"Brother, there is an unwritten rule in the eyes of those of us doing business."

Ning Chuchu was startled: "What are the rules?"

"Honest and trustworthy, clearly stated at the actual price, sold... and will not be returned!"

"..." Ning Chuchu was stunned for three breaths before she reacted. She smiled and almost showed her daughter's attitude, but just like that, Li Chenan's heart suddenly tightened——

Could this handsome young man be a eunuch?

Such a girl!

There is no hair on the mouth.

The voice is shrill.

Well, not even an Adam's apple.

What is this if not a eunuch?

From the palace!

It's a pity that such a handsome young man was forced to enter the palace because of life... In the dramas of his previous life, it was said that people with such physical disabilities also have some perversions in their hearts.

Then you have to be more careful in dealing with it.

Best to give it a wide berth!

Ning Chuchu never expected that Li Chenan regarded her as a eunuch in the palace. She was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Li Chenan stood up suddenly.

"Everyone... there is no tea in this humble house, and it takes two days to drink."

"I'm really busy and don't have time to chat with you here, so please go back, I have to go out."

When Zhongli Ruoshui heard this, he suddenly felt a little anxious, "Hey, hey, hey, no matter how anxious you are, there is no need to rush now."

Li Chenan smiled apologetically and walked out of the pavilion, "But I really have a lot of things to do."

He remembered Shen Qianshan's respect for this woman just now and called her third lady. This third lady was with the eunuchs in the palace... She was probably the daughter of a noble noble.

"Seeing that it's almost noon, I don't have anything to entertain you in my humble house. I'll open my tavern in two days and welcome you to come and join us."

"Farewell!"

He just walked out.

When I arrived at the door, I suddenly remembered that this was my own shop.

He looked back and saw that the little father-in-law and the beautiful lady had not come out. He shrugged and headed towards the West Market.

You have to buy back all the grain and distiller's yeast needed for brewing.

There is already koji in this world. How about trying this koji first? If you can’t make good wine, you have to make your own koji.

Some trouble.

The main reason is that it takes a long time.

That girl is so beautiful. If she had the same personality in her previous life, she would have tried every means to get her.

But in this life...

Don't be a stranger, don't bury yourself in a grave, and don't cause unnecessary trouble.
