After sending Pei Shun away, Tian Shenglan returned to her study with a gloomy face.
"Master, it seems that Mr. Pei can't wait to take action against the Tiger Flag." Butler Tian who was accompanying Tian Shenglan said.
Tian Shenglan sat back on the main seat, looked at the steaming tea on the table, and said disgustedly: "Why is this thing still here? What do the servants do for food?"
Pei Shun's arrival made him very unhappy.
The other party is just a servant, but he, a dignified Shanxi merchant, has to smile all over his face in front of a servant, and not only that, he also has to be ridiculed by the other party.
If it weren't for the fact that the tureen on the table was his favorite blue and white tureen, he would have thrown it to the ground.
"Here comes someone." Butler Tian called out the door.
A servant of the Tian family ran in.
Butler Tian said with a straight face: "Put away all the tea cups on the table. Remember to rinse them several times to remove the nasty smell."
The servant hurriedly came to the table beside Tian Shenglan, carefully put away the bowl on the table, and then left the room.
Tian Shenglan looked at Butler Tian and said, "Get the car ready and go to Liang's house."
"Yes." Butler Tian agreed, turned and left the study.
Tian Shenglan left all the smuggling matters to Liang Binbin. He didn't know when the caravan would go to the grassland. He could only go to Liang Binbin and urge Liang Binbin to send a caravan to the grassland.
After a short time, Butler Tian came back from outside and said respectfully: "Sir, the car is ready."
Tian Shenglan stood up from his seat and walked out of the study.
As he was walking towards the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped and said to Butler Tian who was following him: "Ask the driver to drive the car around outside the city, come back before closing the city gate, and then arrange another sedan chair." Wait for me outside the backyard door."
"Sir, are you not going to take the carriage?" Butler Tian was stunned for a moment.
Tian Shenglan said impatiently: "There's so much nonsense, go get ready."
"Master, please wait a little longer. I will arrange for my servants to find a sedan outside." After Butler Tian finished speaking, he trotted away in a hurry.
Tian Shenglan turned around and returned to the study.
After almost half a stick of incense had passed, Butler Tian came running from outside and said breathlessly: "Master, the sedan is ready and parked in the backyard."
"Let's go!" Tian Shenglan walked out.
In the backyard near the courtyard gate, there was a small sedan carried by two people, and two sedan bearers with thick hands and feet occupied the side.
"Master, please get on the sedan." The bearer opened the sedan curtain and asked Tian Shenglan to get on the sedan.
Tian Shenglan stretched her legs and sat in the sedan.
At this time, Butler Tian arranged for someone to open the courtyard door, and at the same time said to the bearer: "Go to the Liang Mansion on East Street."
Two bearers lifted the sedan one after another.
The curtain of the window on one side of the sedan was suddenly opened. Tian Shenglan looked at Butler Tian outside the sedan and said, "Just arrange for a servant to follow you, so you don't have to go."
"Master, you'd better let me go with you! I'm afraid that other servants won't be able to serve you well, sir." Steward Tian bowed and said to the side of the sedan.
Tian Shenglan said: "I don't want people to know that I went to Liang Mansion. Your face is easy to be recognized by others, especially people from the Tiger Character Flag."
"Young master, I will listen to you." Butler Tian had no choice but to stay.
Two bearers carried the sedan out of the courtyard gate, one behind the other, carrying the sedan toward East Street.
Liang Mansion is the largest house on East Street, surrounded by mostly ordinary families.
The sedan stopped outside the gate of Liang Mansion.
The servants of the Tian family brought by Tian Shenglan stepped forward and slapped the nose of the door to open the door.
Soon, someone walked out of Liang Mansion.
"My master has something urgent to see Mr. Liang, so go in and report it quickly." The servants of the Tian family said to the servants who came out of the Liang residence.
The servants of the Liang Mansion stretched their necks and glanced at the sedan outside the door of the mansion.
At this time, the curtain of the sedan window was opened, revealing Tian Shenglan's face.
The servants of the Liang Mansion recognized Tian Shenglan and said to the servants of the Tian family on the side: "Wait here, I will go in and report."
After saying that, he turned around and walked inside.
Not long after, the servants of the Liang Mansion came out again, and at the same time, Liang You, the chief steward of the Liang Mansion, also walked out.
Liang You walked down the steps, came to the side of the sedan, and said with a smile: "My master can't come out to greet you, but I hope that the owner of the land, Haihan, will come out."
"Carry me in," Tian Shenglan in the sedan said to the bearer.
Liang You stepped aside.
Two bearers carried the sedan and walked in from the gate of Liang Mansion.
After entering the first courtyard, Liang You stopped the bearer of the sedan chair and said to Tian Shenglan in the sedan chair: "Please, Mr. Tian, take charge of the sedan chair and I will take you to see my master."
Tian Shenglan walked out of the sedan.
Two bearers were left here waiting.
Liang You took Tian Shenglan to the hall where the Liang family entertained guests.
As soon as he entered the hall, Tian Shenglan saw Liang Binbin in the hall and Wang Dayu sitting next to Liang Binbin.
"Master Tian, please take a seat quickly, Friends Liang, and serve tea." Guest Liang greeted him warmly.
After sitting down respectively.
Tian Shenglan looked at Wang Dayu on the side and said, "I didn't expect that proprietor Wang was here too."
"Proprietor Wang is here for the caravan business. You know this well, Proprietor Tian. The Liang family alone cannot do such a business." Liang Jiabin explained with a smile.
Liang You brought over the brewed hot tea.
Tian Shenglan withdrew her gaze from Wang Dayu and turned to Liang Jiabin and said, "Dragon Master Liang has been preparing for so long, when are you going to take action?"
"It seems that Boss Tian is a little anxious, but we can't rush this kind of thing." Liang Jiabin picked up the tureen on the table and blew the hot air from it.
Tian Shenglan said: "It's not that I'm anxious, it's Mr. Pei who is. If it were me, I would naturally be fully prepared and not too late to take action. But Mr. Pei doesn't have that much time to give us, so I can only come to you, Mr. Liang."
"It turns out that Mr. Pei urged Mr. Tian." Liang Binbin smiled.
Tian Shenglan frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, and couldn't help but said: "Dr. Liang, I hope you can open up the smuggling business route faster, and open up the smuggling business route earlier. This is a good thing for you and me."
"Mr. Tian, you are too anxious." Liang Jiabin shook his head slightly and said immediately, "The more careful you are about this kind of thing, the better. At this time, you must not be anxious. Although the power of the Tiger Character Flag in Xuanfu is not as good as that of Datong, it can It should not be underestimated either. If we are not careful, what we are doing may be discovered, so at this time, we must be more careful."
Tian Shenglan frowned deeply and said, "Don't you hear clearly, Mr. Liang? It's not that I'm anxious, it's Mr. Pei who's anxious."
"Of course I heard it clearly." Liang Jiabin said with a smile, "I also know that Mr. Pei is anxious to take action, but at this time, I can't be anxious. At least I can't move until Mr. Yang says something."
