Chapter 123: Brewing wine

On the Qinhuai River, Xi Junyu looked around in the small pleasure boat that looked a little dim because some lanterns were turned off. Wu Qilong smiled and took a rice cooker from the side. He went over to serve the rice, then sat down at the table next to him and poured a plate of dishes into a bowl.

"It's like this every time I've been busy. The food on the table is full of food, but I don't know who's really full." In the swaying lights, Wu Qihao picked up a piece of vegetables and threw them into his mouth, making a clatter.

"At least I can't be hungry." Xi Junyu answered lightly.

"I feel hungry every time... Once I envy Ning Liheng. Not long ago, everyone had dinner and invited him, Manager Liao, Manager Luo..." Wu Qilong thought for a while, "He has been eating, he is really eating."

"Ignorance of people can naturally eat enough."

"Too."

After a simple conversation, the two sat there and ate the meal. Although it seemed to be some leftovers, they were indeed carefully cooked by the famous chefs. At this time, the taste was still quite good. The chewing sound was heard in the cabin, and the water waves swayed gently. After a while, Wu Qilong put down his chopsticks and beat his fingers on the table.

"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the night after tomorrow, everything will be about to showdown. At this time, there is no news, it is good news. Brother Xi, there should be no change, right?"

"No." Xi Junyu shook his head, "Chen Er confessed that the assassination was instructed by someone. The crisis in front of him was broken, and the imperial merchant had no obstruction. Everyone was very happy. Although he would not be blinded, at least everyone could see clearly that if he took down the imperial merchant, everything in the Great House would be solved. In the future, there would be no way out. At present... they had no way out, and they could only follow the current trend. It was impossible to change something."

"This is good news." Wu Qilong poured himself a glass of wine, smiled, and drank it in one sip. "I have prepared it clearly. Not to mention the more, my father just asked Lord Dong to arrange the order that night. Haha, my weaver in the Wu family has always surpassed the Su family, so I can take advantage of preconceived things. The rest will be handed over to all the weaver bureaus..."

After saying this, he smiled. When Xi Junyu, who was there, finished eating, put down the bowls and chopsticks, he shook his head: "In two days, Su Tan'er has basically no chance of taking over the Su family. The Su family is fighting in the internal struggle. Those candids will only defeat all the family business. There is no future there. Isn't you really coming to my Wu family?"

Xi Junyu glanced at him: "You know what I'm going to do."

"You and I have known each other for many years. A few years ago, I invited you to my Wu family. You refused for Su Tan'er. I understand. Now you are a woman who has become a woman. Tsk, you are really good..." Wu Qilong sighed, then looked at Xi Junyu's expression and smiled again, "Okay, I know, they have not yet fulfilled their families. After the decision to belong to the royal merchant, you can of course manipulate some shopkeepers to deal with Ning Liheng, so that they will never have the chance to fulfill their families. Su Tan'er's efforts have been burned for several years, and they must find someone to vent their anger. But in the end, this is really difficult. Xi Junyu, when the Su family collapses, with Su Tan'er's temperament, you will definitely grit your teeth and carry it. Then you will help behind your back. In a few years, she will accept your love. You may be together, but it is really difficult..."

Wu Qilong paused, and here, Xi Junyu said calmly: "When the Wu family has become an imperial merchant, the time has come, you can go to the world's number one store. And the Su family has accumulated over decades of accumulation to such a scale. Once the old lady dies, she will collapse and will not be able to get there for decades. Everyone will no longer become opponents, and I will naturally not threaten you."

"I never cared about such threats, it was just a pity." Wu Qilong frowned, "Jiangning. My second brother, Xue Yan, you are not as good as Su Tan'er. To be honest, she has grasped one for a few years and kept pushing it to this point. This is the right way for the shopping mall. She is indeed powerful, and we are not as good as her. If we talk about the shopping mall, the younger generation except Su Tan'er, only Puyang Yi and Tang Xu of the Tang family can make me feel inferior. But she is a woman after all. Although I may not be able to do what she does when I put me in her position, she has limitations and many troubles that arise from the trouble."

Wu Qilong took a breath: "To be honest, I have never had the idea of ​​dealing with the Su family specifically. If it weren't for this situation, the Xue family had targeted the imperial merchants. Since Su Tan'er was ready, it should be what she earned, and no one would compete with her. When she wanted to take action, everyone was targeting her. It can only be said that she was in the wrong time. Since she entered the game, it was like this. But I never thought about dealing with anyone, it was just a business. My Wu family has long been the number one cloth merchant in Jiangning. Brother Xi, Jiangning is just a pond. You could have gone to the sea, would you really want to stay in this pond?"

Xi Junyu smiled and said, "It's just about doing things, there are no big principles."

"That's true." Wu Qilong smiled and shook his head, "I know your idea. Life is just about doing something, and you do it when you want to do it. But... it's just a woman. One day when you go higher, you may find these things boring. Or a few years later you find that this woman is ordinary and no longer the feeling she used to be, and you will regret it. Do you know? I got married at the age of eighteen and passed away three years later. I swear to never touch other women again, but one year later, when I remembered her, I forgot what she looked like, and I married two concubines... women are the same."

"It's all like this." Wu Qilong said, "My men, if you want to do something big, women can't do anything, and they are all the same. Let Su Tan'er go, and you will find that there are many like her. Do you know that many women like to make pretentious gestures, whether she is pretending or real, as long as there is one time, I will never put my mind on her the second time. This is all a small matter, but I will give you a sentence on these things: It's useless to miss you, and I'll stop if you don't care!"

“A lot of nonsense today.”

"Ha, I know you may not be able to listen, but as long as it is possible, I must say, because there are three days left, this matter will be resolved. You are planning to be with her for ten or twenty years because they have not fulfilled their family? You can see the sea one step forward, and you will be completely different in the next ten or twenty years. This time the Su family matters have become good, but even if the imperial merchants give it to the Su family, I have never taken it to heart. My Wu family is still the Wu family. If you and I work together, the pattern will never be in Jiangning."

Wu Qilong smiled: "You have to consider this after all, you have to think about it yourself."

The more you know how to do things, the stronger your will. Xi Junyu is not unable to think about things. It will definitely be difficult to convince him, but he still has to speak when it is time to speak. After saying this, Xi Junyu's expression was still dull. After a long time, he said.

"Don't let the scoops come from the last two or three days. Su Tan'er is not simple, and it may not be a future. She has been preparing for the sake of the Year cloth for more than two years. At this time, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver have been spent. When the imperial merchants announced, all her expectations were gone. No one could tell what she would do."

"Haha, Brother Xi is saying that you are cutting the price to make a purchase?" Wu Qilong smiled happily, "I wish her to do this. If the rules are broken, everyone will beat her together, and the Su family will collapse faster. Your old man will not let her do this, and Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang will not be willing. If she does this, she will pull the entire Su family into the water and go crazy."

He shook his head, his voice raised a little by the happiness and confidence: "If I want to be wary of now, Su Tan'er and the shopkeeper Liao have tried their best to make the Su family so powerful. Su Yu is the most powerful person. Back then, he supported the Su family alone to establish the position of Jiangning Buxing and San. After that, he may have barely been able to turn the tide, but when he is old, the Su family can't hold on for long. Of course, this is the future. Now that he has let go, the role he can play is limited. Who else? Could it be that Brother Ning, who was ordered to be in danger, won the attention of everyone, and turned the tide?"

Xi Junyu narrowed his eyes and looked lazy. To be honest, he didn't like to hear this name very much. The incompetent person, but he just married Su Tan'er. At this time, the Su family even pushed him out to take charge of the game temporarily. An incompetent person took away what he could have: "You are arrogant. He is the number one talented man in Jiangning, and you have great poetry. You do dirty things secretly, beware that he will criticize you later."

"Haha, it's reasonable, it's reasonable." Wu Qilong slapped the table and smiled, then looked slightly solemn, "This person is not a fool. Judging from his demeanor, he is actually much more sensible than the Su family. Although he has been acting clumsy these days, he is not very reckless. It can be seen that he still thinks and learns with sincerity. However, the Su family is in such a situation. He cannot help but be anxious. If he spends some hours in normal times, it will be difficult to make a big mistake. But at present... he is in such a situation in front of a scholar, and his opponents are not people of the same level. What role does a smarter introductory man play? This matter is not something he can participate in from beginning to end. It can only be said... it is not at the right time."

"After this time, I believe he will understand a lot." Xi Junyu thought about Ning Yi's actions over the past few days, then shook his head lightly, then turned around and walked out, "Just have nothing else, thank you for the hospitality."

"I will never thank you for your kindness. You should repay it with a spring." Wu Qilong joked and waved his hand, "Think about what I said, there is the sea in front of me. For a pond is not worth it, the door of the Wu family will be open to you at any time. Oh, and there is that sentence... It is useless to say that missing you..."

"I'll stop if you don't want to." Xi Junyu, who walked out, repeated, and his back melted into the darkness on the side of the ship. "It's better not to have such a meeting anymore."

"This matter has been settled, and there will be no more changes." Wu Qilong replied. When the hazy figure passed away with the boat, he sighed, pushed away the bowls and chopsticks in front of him, stood up and turned around and left: "What a pity..."

The voice of the words murmured and sighed. In any case, Xi Junyu was the talent he had always wanted to poach. In the future, he had to have his own team. The Wu family is very happy to take over the imperial merchants now. Some plans can be advanced and icing on the cake, but even if they can't get them, the Wu family will still be the Wu family. He is still young and has many opportunities to explore in the future. Only such talents can be met. He really values ​​the future, not the current interests.

However, since there is such a benefit, of course it doesn't matter to take it. He stood by the side of the boat, remembering the panic of the Su family for more than a month, the panic implicitly in radicalization, the anxious running of the old lady Su who claimed to have brought the Su family to the top of Jiangning with one person, and the silly smile on the opposite side of the Xue family, and the silly smile on his face, couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

It's really ridiculous.

The light on the river surface became darker again, and the small pleasure boat sailed forward in the waves.

It was dawn, and it became darker. It was August 24th. It was dawn again. It was the morning of the 25th. Ning Yi slept in a nap and missed the morning meeting. That night, the annual general meeting of the Weaving Bureau was held by the Weaving Bureau. Because autumn is the harvest season, there will be such general meetings in various industries once a year.
