Yan Qi smiled slightly: "I am Wu Meizhi's brother-in-law, and I am also Yuanbao's brother-in-law... let's call him brother-in-law."
"oh?"
Wan Niang was not panicked, but surprised: "Are you Meizhi's brother-in-law? When did she have a sister? Also, how could Meizhi tell you that I am here? What on earth do you want to see me for?"
Yan Qidao: "I will take you to meet someone."
Wan Niang asked: "Who?"
Yan Qi pointed at the person in the painting: "Peng Ran."
Wan Niang was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly sighed: "I have gone to the east of the Yangtze River to find all the things in the world. The past is gone and will never come back. The old things have long been forgotten."
"forget?"
Yan Qi pointed at the portrait: "I really forgot about Peng Ran. Do you still have his portrait?"
"I……"
"I really forgot about Peng Ran. Why do you need to wear hair when you practice?"
"this……"
"What does it mean to have mandarin ducks embroidered on your embroidered shoes? Buddhist nuns, are you still thinking about mandarin ducks playing in the water?"
"You and I……"
Wan Niang was asked three questions in a row by Yan Qi, but couldn't answer any of them.
Yan Qidao: "Wan Niang, don't deceive yourself anymore. Don't you know that wine has the fragrance of old wine, and true love is like a pot of old wine, which will become more fragrant over time and have endless aftertaste."
Wan Niang lamented: "Who are you? Peng Ran and I have ended a long time ago. We have not been in contact with each other for a long time. It is useless for you to talk more."
Yan Qidao: "Peng Ran will return to Beijing tomorrow and will never set foot in Suzhou from now on. Do you want to see him?"
"ah?"
Wan Niang was stunned and sat on the bedside, silent for a long time.
"Hey, it's gone. The past is gone. It's gone. It's gone."
Yan Qi's face was full of evil smile: "You just said you can't see me? Hey, silly woman, you don't even know how to grasp the opportunity given to you, but you are still here feeling sad about the spring and autumn, looking forward to self-pity?"
Watching Yan Qi approaching step by step, Wan Niang was a little panicked: "What are you going to...what are you going to do?"
Yan Qi blinked: "I'll help you realize your dream."
He reached out and tapped Wan Niang's sleeping point.
Wan Niang fell asleep.
Yan Qi grabbed the quilt and wrapped Wan Niang in it. Before leaving, she had not forgotten the pair of embroidered shoes.
Got on the carriage and ran all the way.
The horse galloped and galloped, getting whipped on its buttocks.
When we arrived at Peng Ran's residence, it was already dark.
…
Early this morning, Peng Ran will leave Suzhou and return to the capital.
The servants are busy.
Peng Ran's mansion is very simple and the area is very ordinary.
For an official like him, who has real power and is supported by everyone, his house should be very spacious. At least two lions would look good.
However, there was nothing in Peng Ran's house, it was all alone.
There was a long queue at the door.
There are many officials and many businessmen.
They were grateful for Peng Ran's contribution, and Peng Ran's former subordinates came to see Peng Ran off.
However, Peng Ran was nowhere to be seen.
At the door, there was a butler in his forties, and behind him stood a tall and thick samurai.
The butler waved to everyone patiently: "Dear bosses, gentlemen, the master said that he will not see anyone. The master also said that it is his honor to work with you all these years and do something within his ability, and he will always Remember the past years and please don’t miss them.”
These people were all Peng Ran's close friends or close subordinates. Seeing that Peng Ran refused to let them in, they felt very unhappy.
However, Peng Ran has always been true to his word and will never change what he has said.
Very principled.
Everyone sighed, but there was nothing they could do.
Yan Qi looked at the bosses and officials and said hello one by one.
"Hello bosses, hello adults."
The officials looked at Yan Qi: "This is..."
Several businessmen recognized Yan Qi: "Ah, you are... You are Yan Qi, Mr. Yan. Last night, you seized the flower-picking order and became the guest of Miss Wu Meizhi. Mr. Yan, you are so lucky."
"Yes, Mr. Yan, this early in the morning, why don't you and Miss Wu Meizhi spend the night together and come here to enjoy the cool air? Don't you feel that you are neglecting a beautiful lady?"
…
Yan Qi laughed and looked at him.
Unexpectedly, someone actually knew him. It seemed that these people must have participated in the flower picking order last night.
Those adults also knew Yan Qi's name and hurriedly came over to say hello.
"It turns out to be Young Master Yan. I have admired him for a long time."
"Master Yan, it turns out that you have arrived in Suzhou a long time ago? I thought you didn't come."
"Mr. Yan, you also know that Caoyun and the Lin family's workshops have been closed down, right? Hey, there's nothing we can do about it. Who allowed Xie Sanjia to take power?"
…
Yan Qi remembered everyone's names and greeted them cordially.
In Yan Qi's opinion, most of these people are reliable.
There is a saying in official circles: When the tree falls, the hozens scatter.
In other words, once it loses momentum, all the cheers and cheers of the younger brothers below will disappear, and the hot dishes will immediately become cold.
For example, now that Peng Ran has stepped down and Xie Sanjia has come to power, those snobs with foresight will definitely go to Xie Sanjia to flatter him. How can they come to Peng Ran's house to fight in the autumn breeze?
In particular, today is the big day for Jie Sanjia to preside over the Chamber of Commerce. If we don’t flatter him now, then when will we wait?
However, these people came to see Peng Ran off.
It can be seen that these people have a true temperament.
It can be said that he gave up his future for the sake of old love.
Because I didn’t go to support Xie Sanjia today because Xie Sanjia’s temperament will definitely be recorded in the notebook.
When the time comes, I will give you some shoes to wear, which is normal.
If you want to make friends, you should make friends with these people.
Yan Qi met each other and got to know each other.
Everyone was clamoring to leave.
Yan Qidao: "Boss and lords, can you wait a little longer? I'll go in first and tell Master Peng Ran that I'm sure Master Peng Ran will meet you. If you have nothing to do, just wait a little longer, okay?"
Everyone was very surprised.
There was a businessman named Deng Hong, who was also a local tycoon in Suzhou and was engaged in the grain business.
He was in his forties, had no chin, and looked very steady. He looked sideways at Yan Qi and said, "Master Yan, I would like to ask, are you familiar with Master Peng?"
Yan Qi shook his head: "I haven't met him yet."
"Haven't we met yet?"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, but it was just a kind smile.
Deng Hong couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Yan, please forgive me for being direct. Mr. Peng doesn't even see me, a close friend. How can I meet Mr. Yan, who I have never met before?"
Yan Qi said seriously: "Master Peng will meet with me."
Everyone shook their heads.
"Master Yan, why are you doing this? It's impossible."
"Although Young Master Yan is alert, his words are really incomprehensible."
…
Deng Hong looked at Yan Qi with great interest: "Young Master Yan can do such a big business, so he won't do anything wrong. However, with my shallowness, it is really difficult to understand the meaning of Mr. Yan's words."
"Ha ha!"
Yan Qi smiled calmly: "Boss Deng, let's make a bet. If I can meet Lord Peng and persuade Lord Peng to summon everyone, Boss Deng will treat me to a drink. How about that?"
Deng Hong nodded meaningfully: "We are waiting for Mr. Yan's good news."
Yan Qi walked to the gate.
The butler has gone back.
Standing at the door was a man in his thirties. He was strong, tall, and 1.9 meters tall. He was bumped like a calf. He blocked Yan Qi with his body.
This is a situation where one man is in charge and no one can break it.
