Chapter 16: What an accident

It was getting late and the matter was done. Chen Wanrong promised to attend the meeting tomorrow. Li Qingquan was satisfied and stood up and said goodbye: "Wanrong, I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow. I will leave first!"

"I'm here for myself!" Chen Wanrong thought to himself that he was not a big man, so he didn't need to "single car to pick him up" when he went on a trip.

Li Qingquan disagreed: "Wanrong, you are all for me. Can I make you suffer?"

When the two left the house, Li Qingquan jumped into the carriage and waved at Chen Wanrong: "Wanrong, please come back. See you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!" Chen Wanrong waved. Li Qingquan drove the carriage until no one was seen. Chen Wanrong turned around and saw Chen Zairong standing behind him and asked, "Brother, are you really going?"

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Is it okay if I don't go? He ran three times, and I can't bear to ask for this love. Besides, I have something to do to find Mr. Zheng."

"Brother, I'm not saying this, am I confident?" Chen Zairong said with concern: "I have heard it all. According to Mr. Li's words, it is difficult to get the Zheng family's old house."

This is really a worry. No matter what, you should try it. Chen Wanrong touched his forehead: "It may not be successful if he tried it. If he didn't try, he would definitely not succeed. At least he had to work hard. If it really doesn't work, he will find a way."

This is very reasonable, Chen Zairong reminded him: "Brother, you can do all your strength to convince Mr. Zheng."

It would be impossible not to use all his skills. Chen Wanrong didn't say much and helped clean the house. There should be no one in the house. Even if there was no one for a day, it would be messy. The whole family took action together. After cleaning up, it was already dark. After making dinner, I said a while, and then I went to bed.

Chen Zairong was about to rush to the county hall, but he got up the next morning and rushed to the county town with breakfast.

Chen Wanrong gave him five taels of gold as pocket money. Chen Zairong knew that his family had money now, and Chen Wanrong must have given him a lot of pocket money. But he didn't expect it would be five taels of gold, which is fifty taels of silver. He was shocked and refused to accept it: "Brother, this is too much."

"There are so many. You have also made a lot of efforts to this trip to Chang'an. If you weren't familiar with Chang'an, you wouldn't have been so smooth. In order to help your family, you didn't go to enjoy the scenery with your classmates. This is a reward for you." Chen Wanrong stuffed the gold into Chen Zairong's hands.

Holding the gold, Chen Zairong didn't believe it was true and was stunned. Chen Wangshi's face was filled with joy: "Zairong, your brother will give it to you, just take it. Study hard is better than anything else."

Chen Laoshi also agreed: "Yes! No matter how glorious you have, you have suffered so much over the years. You are so generous." The previous words are not bad, very pleasant, but the latter words are different. His face darkened and he said sternly: "No matter how glorious you are, you must be obedient. Now that you have money, you can't spend random flowers. You should only spend what you shouldn't spend. Don't spend what you shouldn't spend. Even if you don't use it, you can't use it randomly. If you can't use it, there is no place to exist. You have to know how hard your brother has made this money. If you run up and down, your feet will be blistered."

Chen Wangshi likes to listen to this and comes to tutor: "All right, your father is right, you have to listen. You are not at home, and I don't know how much hardship your brother has suffered to make soap. This money is not easy and he has to save money."

It is true that you run away. Since you don’t need wastewater, you don’t have to smell the unpleasant odor. Chen Wanrong didn’t feel that it was hard, and smiled and said, “No matter whether you have money or not, saving is always a virtue! You just look at the money, it’s not enough to tell me, I’ll give it to you again.”

This was very skillful. It not only diluted the strict discipline of Chen Laoshi and his wife, but also reminded Chen Zairong to be frugal. Chen Zairong nodded happily: "I know, brother! Dad, mother, brother, I'm leaving!" He waved his hand, turned around, and left quickly.

Chen Wangshi was very reluctant and looked at Chen Zairong's back with tears in his eyes. Chen honestly looked at Chen Wanrong with a stern face: "Wanrong, it's not that my father told you that you can't treat Zairong like this. The family is rich now, but we can't forget the hard days before. You are too ruthless. I didn't say it because I was afraid of hurt Zairong's heart, so I didn't say it."

He spoke very harshly, his intentions were very good, and he showed his good character. He did not feel complacent because his family had money, nor did he have the habit of a nouveau riche. Chen Wanrong not only did not feel harsh, but he was very helpful and nodded and was taught: "Dad, I remember!"

Chen Wangshi hurriedly protected Chen Wanrong and glanced at Chen Houshi: "Old man, do you say less? Wanrong can't believe it? Wanrong can't save money? Wanrong, you have to save money!" He didn't want Chen Houshi to play on this issue anymore, so he told him endlessly, changing the topic: "Wanrong, you want to make soap, where can you find this man? "

There are so many things to do when starting from scratch. In the past, I was worried about not having the capital. Now, with the capital, I was worried about not having a good place. I was worried about not having a good place and I was worried about being in the place and having to worry about people. It really hurts my mind. Chen Wanrong thought for a while before saying, "I think about it before talking about it."

Chen Houshi thought it much simpler: "What are you afraid of? Can't you find someone if you have money?"

Chen Wangshi's thoughts became much more detailed: "Old man, if you want to think of a reason, people must be reliable, they must be tight-lipped and cannot tell the secrets. Of course, it is better to be smarter. Where can you find such a person?"

This is officially put into production, and it is very important to keep technical secrets. Chen Wanrongda admired her meticulous thoughts from the bottom of his heart: "Mom, you are right, people must be reliable. This matter will be selected slowly after you find the place."

Chen Wang's brows frowned and didn't say anything. Chen Zhongshi thought he was thinking about his words just now, and he no longer spoke too much, so he went to work in the house. Now that his family is rich, he no longer has to make money by making money, but Chen Zhongshi is a trustworthy person and has to do the next job.

Chen Wanrong praised Chen Hushi's approach from the bottom of his heart. If a person has no faith, he will not stand. He should do what he promised. There is nothing to do now, so Chen Wanrong will help him.

While we were working, only a young man's voice sounded outside the house: "Master Wanrong is here?"

Chen Laoshi, who was working hard, raised his head: "Wanrong, someone is looking for you."

Chen Wanrong had already heard it, and the sound was very familiar. He hurriedly ran out and saw that it was either Li Qingquan's friend Xiao Linzi, who drove Li Qingquan's beautiful carriage in front of the house.

Kobayashi quickly stepped up and saluted Chen Wanrong: "I've seen Master Chen."

"It's Brother Kobayashi! Please sit in the room quickly." Chen Wanrong invited him warmly.

Xiaolinzi stood still and said, "Thank you Master Chen! Master Chen, I am here to pick up Master Chen on the order of the shopkeeper and ask you to get on the car."

The genius was dawn for a while, and it was still early. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "No, no hurry. Mr. Zheng came only at noon, so it was time."

"Master Chen doesn't know anything. The shopkeeper has given me instructions and asked me to take Master Chen over earlier." Kobayashi had to tell the truth: "The shopkeeper said that he would be relieved to see you."

After saying that, he will definitely go! Before Chen Wanrong could speak, Chen Wang came out of the house: "Wanrong, Brother Xiaolin is waiting, you go, don't make things difficult for him."

"Thank you!" Xiaolin Zi was very smart and hurriedly thanked Wang Chen.

I thought that Li Qingquan must have issued strict orders, otherwise Xiao Linzi would not have acted like this. If he had gone too late, he would have made things difficult for him. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Okay, I'll change my clothes." After returning to the house, changing clothes, he jumped into the car.

Chen Laoshi and Chen Wangshi came out of the house to see him off, and they did not turn around until no one was seen. Chen Wanrong looked at the layout in the car, there was a soft couch, a soft mattress, and a few small and unique chairs. There were fruit trays on the table and some fruits were placed on it.

Li Qingquan really enjoys this. He was so thoughtful. Chen Wanrong was a little funny. He only heard Xiao Linzi say: "Master Chen, the fruits in the car were prepared for you by the shopkeeper, please use them."

When did you care so much about yourself? Chen Wanrong remembered that when he first met, he looked over his head. How long has it been since he treated himself like this? These fruits are a kind of etiquette, not necessarily for people to eat, but for people to see, which means that I respect you very much. Chen Wanrong responded and fell on the soft couch and fell asleep.

I got up too early today and was really sleepy. I fell asleep in a daze before I lay down for a while. When I was sleeping, I heard Li Qingquan's surprise voice drilling into my ears: "Is Wanrong here?"

This is a question knowingly. If Xiao Linzi didn't come, would she dare to come back? Xiao Linzi hurriedly replied: "Go back to the shopkeeper, Master Chen is in the car."

Chen Wanrong rubbed his eyes and got out of the car. As soon as he poked his head out, he saw a big hand reaching in front of him. It was none other than Li Qingquan. The smile on his face was layered layer after layer, and he smiled like Maitreya Buddha, and reached out to help Chen Wanrong.

He was a young man who was young and strong, so he didn't need him to help him. Chen Wanrong could not help him, so he had to accept his kindness. Under Li Qingquan's "help" and got out of the car: "I've seen the old man!"

Li Qingquan hurriedly grabbed Chen Wanrong and felt relieved: "Wanrong, I will be relieved when you come, don't worry."

Zheng Jianqiu is his big customer. If he can't even meet this small requirement, what else can he do in the future? Last time he invited Chen Wanrong to drink, he almost became a scalper. How could he feel at ease if he met Chen Wanrong earlier?

Chen Wanrong naturally knew his thoughts, and did not even tick it. He smiled and said, "Old Master Lao is worried and he is sad."

"Don't stand and talk, go to the house to sit!" Li Qingquan took Chen Wanrong's hand and walked straight to the house. Chen Wanrong had been here many times and was very familiar with the table, chair, teapot and tea cups. The table was different from the past, and there were several plates of fruits, pastries, and croquettes on the table. I don't have to think about it and know that he was going to welcome the VIP.

The term dim sum appeared in the Tang Dynasty, which is different from the dim sum we understand in modern times. Chili is dim sum. As for pastries, they are the more refined foods among the staple foods, but not dim sum.

Zheng Jianqiu is a big customer, and it is normal for him to welcome him grandly. Isn’t modern enterprises also very thoughtful about important customers? Chen Wanrong admires him very much. His business is so prosperous, which is not unrelated to his flexible skills.

Li Qingquan seemed to guess Chen Wanrong’s thoughts, and explained to Chen Wanrong with a smile: "Wanrong, Mr. Zheng is coming today, of course I have to prepare well. But it is not all for him. He is so familiar with me, it doesn’t matter at all. He is generous and will not take it to heart. But today is the day when you meet him, one is my big customer and the other is my good fellow villager. He gave me a good idea. Why don’t I prepare well, can it be reasonable?"

I really didn't expect that I would have a contribution to myself. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "You are polite, I am all from the villagers. Who else can I help you if I don't help me?"

Li Qingquan liked this, laughed loudly, and hurriedly sifted a cup of tea for Chen Wanrong: "Wanrong, drink a cup to moisten the throat. Old Master Zheng is coming, and I specially prepared the Qingcheng Snowball that he likes."

Just by smelling the tea fragrance, Chen Wanrong knew it was Qingcheng Xuebu. He thanked him and took a sip. It was still as fragrant as usual, and he drank it to make his spirits.

Li Qingquan sifted a cup for himself, held it in his hand, and half laying on the chair: "Wanrong, let's have some tea first, and you can have a good chat when Mr. Zheng arrives."

"I'll ask the old man to introduce him." Chen Wanrong replied casually.

Li Qingquan smiled and said, "Where is the introduction, you can recognize him at a glance. Although Wanrong is from a farmer, he is different from farmers. He is smart and confident, and has a gentle spirit, which looks very similar to a scholar. Mr. Zheng's eyes are like a torch, and he will definitely recognize you."

He was really good at talking, and he praised the two of them all after the call. Chen Wanrong's top students at the Higher Education College had a gentle temperament, and this was not nonsense.

Before the two of them had finished drinking a cup of tea, Xiao Linzi's urgent voice rang out of the door: "Shopkeeper, Mr. Zheng has arrived."

"What do you say? Old Master Zheng has arrived? It's still early." Li Qingquan was still a little disbelief.

Kobayashi had to repeat: "Shopkeeper, it will be too late if you don't go to greet me again, and you will arrive at the gate soon."

"Come here!" Li Qingquan hurriedly put down the teacup, stood up and rushed out. Chen Wanrong drank the tea in one sip, and then followed behind slowly and brought the door with him.

Li Qingquan ran very fast, and Chen Wanrong had to speed up to keep up. If the distance between Li Qingquan was too far, he would not respect Zheng Jianqiu. First, this was not good at Li Qingquan's face, and second, he also wanted to talk to Zheng Jianqiu. Chen Wanrong, who knows etiquette, would never do rude actions.

As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw a beautiful carriage coming in. The horse pulling the horse was very majestic. Li Qingquan greeted him happily and shouted: "Old Master Zheng, you are here, I miss you so much!"

A man's voice came from the car: "It's a sin to make Mr. Li worry."

"Mr. Zheng, your words are heavy, your words are heavy!" Li Qingquan hurriedly grabbed the reins and stopped the carriage. A man came out of the carriage. Chen Wanrong looked at the man in his forties, with a white face, wearing a silk coat with a ball of flowers, and a round felt hat. His eyes were bright and clear as water. The three long beards under his chin were combed neatly and beautifully, so it was not an exaggeration to call him "Beautiful Bearded Man".

One word, handsome! He must be a handsome guy when he was young. A handsome man like him is knowledgeable and rich. How many women's dream lovers will come to him automatically as long as he is willing to do so, but he doesn't like to mess with relationships between men and women. It's such an abnormality, but it's a pity that he has such a good appearance.

What's even more rare is that he has a sense of aura of being out of the world. If Chen Wanrong hadn't known that he was a businessman, he would definitely regard him as a Taoist cultivator. Chen Wanrong thought with his temperament, if he had changed into a Taoist robe and played Jiang Ziya in "The Investiture of the Gods", no one would have said that he would not be like him.

"I've seen Mr. Zheng!" Li Qingquan's smiles piled up layer by layer, and he bowed to Zheng Jianqiu with his fists.

Zheng Jianqiu got out of the car and bowed his fists and replied: "Mr. Li is exempted from the gift. Zheng Jianqiu has met Mr. Li!" The courtesy is very thoughtful and deserves to be from the Imperial College.

The bright eyes looked at Chen Wanrong and laughed and said, "This is Brother Chen, right? Zheng Jianqiu is polite here."

As Li Qingquan predicted, he guessed that it was Chen Wanrong without anyone introducing him. Chen Wanrong hurriedly replied: "The rough people in the countryside dare not call him such a master, just call me Chen Wanrong."

He looked at Chen Wanrong and smiled and nodded and praised, "It's not bad! He was born in a farmer's family, but he had a bookish spirit. He had never read books but could recite poems, "The immortal tea comes from the immortal family". What a poem! Qingcheng snow buds come from Qingcheng Mountain. I'm so happy that this tea has been going on for decades, but I haven't recited such a good poem. I've drunk Qingcheng snow buds for so many years."

For this word, Li Qingquan had to give in and let Chen Wanrong raise the price of the barrel to 120 s. He must have read this word to Zheng Jianqiu. Chen Wanrong was not surprised at all: "The old man has been awarded, and he accidentally got it. He dared not humiliate the old man Qingting!"

"It's good to be talented but not arrogant!" Zheng Jianqiu praised it very much: "Young people are often arrogant and arrogant. Any talented people are even more arrogant. They don't know the principle of "the best is like water". If you are younger brother Chen, you are rare!" Turning his head to Li Qingquan, he said, "Mr. Li has been bothered. Please invite Brother Chen. Thank you here."

Li Qingquan hurriedly returned the gift: "You have something to tell me, can I not do it for you?" He was even more grateful for the fact that he brought Chen Wanrong to come early.

"I came early today, just thinking that if Brother Chen didn't want to see me, I had to ask Mr. Li to lead the way to visit you. Unexpectedly, Brother Chen came very early, so I feel relieved." Zheng Jianqiu laughed constantly and was very happy.

Unexpectedly, he had this intention. Chen Wanrong hurriedly said, "You are so proud of me that you can give me face. You are summoned by the old man, and I dare not come." These are all scenes, just talk, and you can't take it seriously.

However, what surprised Chen Wanrong was that Zheng Jianqiu grabbed Chen Wanrong's hand: "Brother Chen, go and talk to the house. I'm not talking casually, but I have something to discuss with you."
