Hu Yantong frowned, "Third uncle, why did you get involved with the Qi family? Be careful that grandpa will be angry!"
Huyan Zhengyan smiled bitterly and said: "This is what your grandfather meant, but the negotiation failed. The Qi family was only willing to pay 10,000 yuan and insisted on taking away the title. How is it possible?"
Hu Yantong whispered to Chen Qing: "This Qi family is the family of Qi Yun, one of Wang Bo's best friends. My fourth aunt is Qi Yun's aunt. My father has always disliked the Qi family."
Chen Qing's heart moved and he asked with a smile: "What's going on? Do you want to do business together?"
Hu Yanzhengyan has a very easy-going personality and does not put on any airs of eldership. Although Hu Yantong is his nephew, their relationship is like brothers.
Since Chen Qing asked, Huyan Zhengyan did not hide anything and said to Chen Qing: "Our Huyan family basically spends all their money on purchasing land. We have purchased a large amount of land in Suzhou and Lin'an City. Now we want to open more Hukou Restaurants, but the money is not available."
It’s not enough, so we are considering a partnership. We will provide the land, and the other party will provide the money. Today we are talking to the Qi family. We will provide five acres of land, and the other party will provide 10,000 yuan. Each party will have a half share. The shopkeeper can give it to the other party, but the title will be given.
It belongs to us, but the Qi family insisted on naming it, so the discussion was no longer possible."
Chen Qing hesitated and asked: "If I also want to vote, can I?"
Chen Qing had just received three thousand taels of silver as a reward from the emperor. He wanted to invest it, but there was no way. He happened to meet Hu Yanzhengyan.
Huyan Zhengyan said with a smile: "General Chen is Wulang's friend. Of course you can invest if you want, but at least 10,000 yuan is required."
"Excuse me, Third Uncle, what is the current price ratio of silver to money?"
Huyan Zhengyan blurted out, "The official price is one to two, but the market price is still one to five. In business, we usually follow the market price!"
"What if I put in fifteen thousand dollars?"
Huyan Zhengyan's eyes lit up, "If I'm willing to invest fifteen thousand guan, I can partner with you on the Fengyu Gate land, half for the whole family. It's close to the West Lake and the location is the best. I wonder what conditions I have for you?"
"I don't have any conditions. My third uncle just pays me dividends every year."
Huyan Zhengyan smiled so much that he did not interfere in the business and only paid dividends every year. Such a partner was simply hard to find.
Hu Yantong was anxious. Chen Qing was his friend. How could he decide to invest money so hastily? He quickly said: "Old Chen, let's go to the hut!"
The two walked out of the private room, and Hu Yantong complained in a low voice: "Our family only spent more than a thousand guan to buy that piece of land, but you have to invest 15,000 guan. Don't be hot-headed!"
Chen Qing smiled slightly, "How much is it worth now?"
"It's worth more than 10,000 yuan now, but this kind of restaurant investment is very risky. If the business is not good, you will lose your money. You'd better think about it before making a decision. Don't be impulsive."
Chen Qing also felt that he was a little impulsive. He didn't even know where the restaurant was. Even if he cooperated with the Huyan family, he needed to be cautious.
"I understand, let's go and take a look!"
Chen Qing suddenly remembered something again and asked, "Have you ever asked about your grandfather's halberd technique?"
"I wasn't promoted before and didn't go home. Now that I've been promoted to one level for meritorious service, my father has nothing to say. I'll go back and ask my grandfather tonight."
...........
At the same moment when Chen Qing was celebrating his victory at Hukou Restaurant, in Wang Bo's house, Wang Huan slapped Wang Bo hard and knocked Wang Bo to the ground.
Wang Huan said angrily: "You bastard, you have dragged me down for your bad things. Now that I have been dismissed from office, you will be happy!"
The slap was so severe that Wang Bo's cheeks swelled up. He covered his face and said angrily: "It's because of your own incompetence. If you can find evidence, why are you in such a mess today?"
"Fart! Chen Qing can't find any evidence at all. How can I find evidence? Your uncle asked me to go, but in the end he trampled me to death. Who will be willing to sacrifice their lives for you in the future? Today you must give me an explanation.
I lost my official position for you, what do you think I should do?"
Wang Bo also knew that he was in the wrong. He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you wait a little longer? When the limelight is over, I'll go and ask my aunt to find a job for you. Don't blame him."
This was what Wang Huan wanted. Although he hated Qin Hui to the core, he also knew that he had to rely on Qin Hui if he wanted to be reinstated, so he could only suppress this hatred in his heart.
"Brother, I heard that Fan Zongyin resigned as prime minister. Is it true?"
"He resigned as prime minister, but the officials did not approve it. They just called him and scolded him. Fan Zongyin is really an idiot. This kind of thing should be done privately, but he insisted on debating it in the court, and finally it was made public.
Slap in the face!”
When Wang Huan talked about slapping him in the face, Wang Bo couldn't help but touch his burning face. He was angry again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sooner or later I will take care of this Chen Qing!"
"You should try your best! Otherwise, even ten thousand cruel words will be useless."
"What can I do? The emperor has already received him and made him the commander..."
"Hmph! That's because you won't seize the opportunity. If you don't go to the military camp for a day in the military training competition next month, what are you going to do? Let alone the first place in martial arts, you may even be in the top ten.
No."
Wang Bo also snorted, "I have my own arrangements for the training and competition, so I don't need you to worry about it!"
.........
At night, Qin Hui lay down tiredly, only to see his wife, Wang, with her back on her back and ignoring him.
Qin Hui laughed. His wife was unhappy when she returned home today. Of course he knew the reason.
"Wang Huan is only temporarily dismissed. I will arrange a small position later and then gradually promote him, so you don't have to worry."
Wang turned around and glared at her husband and said: "He is doing things for you. Even if he has no credit, he still has hard work. How can he directly dismiss others from office like you? Who will dare to do things for you in the future?"
"What you said is wrong. No one outside knows that he is working for me. Everyone in the court will only praise me for my righteousness in killing my relatives. This time it was also my miscalculation. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been implicated by Fan Zongyin today. Don't worry! Wang
Huan has been wronged on my behalf, and I will make it up to him in the future."
Although Mrs. Wang was angry with her husband, since he promised to compensate her, the anger in her heart disappeared.
"Husband, what is going on today? I heard that the official family is actually helping this Chen Qing. He has such a great reputation? He is not even as good as his father-in-law?"
"Don't listen to the rumors outside. They are just the opinions of some stupid men and women. If you really believe what they say, you won't know how you died in the end. How can the official family offend the Prime Minister for a young Western Army general!"
"Then what's the reason?" Wang was somewhat interested.
"I told you last time. On the surface, this matter was against a young general of the Western Army, but in fact it was a struggle between Fan Zongyin and Zhang Jun. Fan Zongyin became the prime minister because Zhang Jun went to Sichuan and Shaanxi. Once Zhang Jun
When Jun returns to the court, Fan Zongyin is very likely to be dismissed as prime minister, and the two have opposing political views, so they have always been political enemies."
"Oh! I understand. On the surface, the emperor is helping that Chen Qing, but in fact he is helping Zhang Jun."
Qin Hui sighed, "I have never understood why the emperor favored Zhang Jun and refused to hold Zhang Jun accountable. Only today did I understand that I am afraid that the battle of Fuping was actually arranged by the officials, and Zhang Jun's defeat of Fuping was for the officials.
He just took the blame, so the officials tried every possible means to downplay the Battle of Fuping. Fan Zongyin didn’t understand, and he had to focus on Zhang Jun’s defeat of Fuping, which led to what happened today.”
"It seems that Commander Chen Qingfeng is just unlucky!" Mrs. Wang thought of her nephew Wang Bo's cry today.
"That's not necessarily the case. It's obvious now that civilian officials can't fight, and they have to rely on generals in the end. Liu Miao's change made the officials not trust these generals, so he wanted to personally promote a group of young generals. Yue Fei was promoted because of this
Because of this, Chen Qing is also like this this time, but..."
Speaking of this, Qin Hui sneered, "That Fan Zongyin is famous for being narrow-minded. If Chen Qing slaps him in the face in front of everyone in the court, he will definitely not let Chen Qing go. Chen Qing will have some shoes to fill in the future."
"Farewell Chen Qing, Chen Qing's, I'm not interested in him, I'd better take care of my nephew!"
Mrs. Wang said to her husband unhappily: "Chen Qing has been promoted. Doesn't Bo'er have no chance at all?"
Qin Hui thought for a while and said: "There is an opportunity. The next military training competition is arranged by the government. It is very popular. We must let Wang Bo take advantage of this opportunity."
Wang hesitated and said: "Bo'er came to me specifically to ask for this today. I promised him that I will definitely help him."
Qin Hui's face sank, "If he wants me to help him with everything, why can't he rely on himself?"
"Husband, if Wang Bo is reused, won't he work for you in the end? Helping him is also helping yourself!"
There is no better way to know a husband than a wife. Wang is very aware of her husband's biggest weakness at present, which is that his officialdom is shallow and he has too few confidants. Wang's arrow hit Qin Hui's heart.
