"Wait!"
Liu Qing followed up from behind and saw the scene in front of him. He was so frightened that he lost half of his soul!
"stop!"
"This is the fourth prince of the current dynasty, Prince Rong, whom His Majesty personally conferred!"
"How can I allow you to be so arrogant here!"
The middle-aged man who took the lead had an arrogant look on his face, and he thought he was some young man who came to join in the fun.
Upon hearing Liu Qing's words, the middle-aged man's face froze, and then his body softened and he knelt on the ground.
"The villain has eyes but cannot see Mount Tai!"
"I didn't know Prince Rong was coming!"
"I have offended you so much, please please calm down Prince Rong!"
Song Huan was traveling incognito today, so it was a bit unreasonable to break into someone else's mansion so rashly.
Seeing that the middle-aged man was kneeling down quickly, Song Huan didn't say much: "It doesn't matter, get up!"
"I am here today because I want to discuss something with Boss Shen Wanshan."
"I don't know who is..."
According to Liu Qing's previous description, Shen Wanshan came from a poor family and gradually built the Shen family into the largest tea merchant in Daliang. He was a unique merchant of the generation in Daliang.
Even though he is over sixty years old, he is still busy in shopping malls, making the Shen family's golden brand name bigger and stronger, which can be said to be getting stronger with age.
However, Song Huan looked around the audience and saw that the eldest person present was this middle-aged man. He did not see Shen Wanshan anywhere.
When Song Huan mentioned Shen Wanshan, the middle-aged man sighed heavily.
"Your Majesty, you..."
"I'm afraid you're a step too late!"
"I am Shen Wanshan's eldest son, Shen Shuo."
"The old man left last night. He left so suddenly that people felt caught off guard!"
"As soon as the old man leaves, our Shen family... sigh!"
What? !
The legendary tea merchant Shen Wanshan passed away so suddenly?
He didn’t even give himself a chance to discuss cooperation with him!
Song Huan felt a little regretful that he could not meet this legendary businessman in person.
However, although Shen Wanshan is no longer here, we still have to talk about cooperation!
Just as Song Huan was about to speak, he saw a slightly younger middle-aged man standing behind Shen Shuo, who looked like he was carved out of the same mold as Shen Shuo.
"Brother, I don't like hearing what you say."
"Although dad is gone, he has already intended to hand over the family business to me!"
"Our Shen family hasn't broken up yet!"
"Who are you showing that grief-stricken look?"
"Give you the Shen family's property?" Shen Shuo put away his sorrow for a second and put on an extremely sarcastic expression, "What are you dreaming about!"
"You are neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son. No one will be responsible for the Shen family's inheritance!"
As soon as Shen Shuo finished speaking, a man under thirty stood up: "Brother, I agree with this!"
"Our Shen family was founded by my father. If he wants to pass on the family business, he must pass it on to me as his legitimate son, right?"
"..."
Song Huan was a little dumbfounded when he heard several people arguing fiercely.
No wonder Song Huan had just heard a lot of noise coming from outside. He thought these people were mourning for someone.
After the quarrel for a long time, the old man's body was still cold, and these unfilial sons were eager to fight for the family property in front of his soul!
Song Huan felt that this scene was extremely ironic.
"Ahem!"
Seeing that Shen Wanshan's sons were arguing fiercely, Liu Qing quickly stood up and coughed twice.
"Prince Rong is here, now is not the time for you to quarrel!"
"Your Majesty has something important to discuss with you, the head of the Shen family. Who among you three can do the math now?"
It was okay that Liu Qing didn't ask. As soon as these words came out, Shen Wanshan's three sons looked at each other and instantly started fighting over each other in front of Song Huan.
"Your Majesty! I am Shen Shuo, the eldest son of Shen Wanshan, the eldest master of the Shen family! The well-deserved head of the Shen family!"
"Your Majesty, don't listen to him! My name is Shen Teng, and I am my father's favorite son during his lifetime! My father has long been interested in leaving the Shen family's business to me!"
"Fuck you! Stop talking nonsense in front of the prince! Prince Qi, my name is Shen He, and I am the son of Shen Wanshan's wife! The legitimate son of the Shen family! If the Shen family doesn't hand it over to me, how can it still be handed over to me? to whom?"
"..."
Seeing the three filial sons talking to each other and vying for the position of the head of the Shen family, Song Huan felt a headache.
Needless to say, you know that these three people are full of petty ambitions and will never readily agree to cooperate with them!
Song Huan was extremely disappointed and quietly retreated while the three of them were arguing.
"Liu Qing, the Shen family is obviously unreliable and useless!"
"Are there any big tea merchants in the capital?"
Liu Qing looked troubled: "Your Highness, your requirements are too high. Ordinary tea merchants will definitely not be able to meet them!"
"Mr. Shen is a man of integrity. If he were still here, he would definitely agree to your request without hesitation."
"But if it were replaced by other short-sighted tea merchants in the capital..."
At this point, Liu Qing couldn't help but sigh.
Song Huan was walking forward on his own, looking down and thinking about what to do next, when he heard a crisp sound from behind.
"Prince Rong, can I discuss business with you?"
Song Huan turned around in surprise, only to find a woman in full mourning clothes standing behind her, slowly bowing to him.
The woman is about twenty-five or sixty-six years old. She is beautiful, elegant, and very bookish.
At this moment, she was wearing a pure white mourning dress, which made her appear even more graceful and graceful, like a jasmine flower that newly bloomed after the rain.
Especially when facing Song Huan, his attitude of being neither humble nor arrogant, humble and polite made people even more fond of him!
Song Huan was startled for a moment, then said: "Who is Mr. Shen's lady?"
The woman leaned forward slightly and replied: "To tell you what the prince is saying, I am Shen Wanshan's only daughter, Shen Mei."
"My father was feeling a little unwell a few months ago and asked me to take care of some of the family business for him."
"If I can add a little bit of help to the prince, it can be regarded as our Shen family's contribution to Daliang!"
After hearing Shen Mei's words, Song Huan's eyebrows moved slightly.
Although this woman doesn't seem to be fighting for anything, she looks like she has spent her time peacefully.
But her ambition and even strength are definitely far ahead of the three men of the Shen family!
Seeing Shen Mei, Song Huan, who was already disappointed, once again ignited a glimmer of confidence.
"Changchunfang is just ahead. If Miss Shen is free, please follow me to Changchunfang to talk about it."
"Follow the prince's arrangements!"
…
Changchunfang, private room on the second floor.
Her beautiful eyes widened with deep eyebrows, her face full of surprise and confusion.
"My lord, what do you mean, you need me to collect five thousand kilograms of tea leaves within ten days?"
Song Huan nodded slightly: "I know that this request is a bit excessive."
"But the incident happened suddenly. I believe that with the strength of the Shen family, it shouldn't be anything difficult!"
