The construction of the new palace has been going on in an orderly manner over the past few days. The three-month deadline has roughly passed by one month. All materials have been put in place one after another, and the first batch of bricks have been fired. The site of the new palace is filled with materials.
However, Liang Chuan has been looking for opportunities to take advantage of Cai Men and Ding Zhaohua in the past few days.
It's a pity that Su Wei is not here, otherwise Su Wei can help and come up with ideas. This old man has a lot of bad ideas. He is surrounded by warriors, and Qin Jing and Yu Chi are all enemies. The only thing he lacks is a think tank like Su Wei, and the old man's body is not as good as After that, it would be better for him to retire in Qingyuan.
In fact, the Little Heavenly Master has a lot of evil in his belly, but Liang Chuan doesn't know the details of the Little Heavenly Master now, so he doesn't dare to ask him to help, otherwise he will be no worse than that old man Su Wei.
Ding Zhaohua also wanted to kill Liang Chuan.
She had no grudge against Liang Chuan, it was Cai Men who was instigating her behind the scenes.
Anxiety leads to chaos, and Ding Zhaohua is also afraid that outsiders will see her scandal. There can only be one person taking the blame for this matter, and it just so happens that Liang Chuan, an outsider, hits the tip of the knife!
In the past few days, Ding Zhaohua ordered the kitchen to cook all kinds of delicacies. After they were cooked, they were delivered to Liang Chuan's wing under various names. He said that Liang Chuan had repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and made many contributions to the Ding family. I need to replenish my body, and all kinds of delicious food come in like water.
Liang Chuan knew that the food was either poisonous or drugged without using a silver needle to test it.
Cai Men and the others planned to take Liang Chuan to Ding Zhaohua's room and pretend to have him break in and rape him. How could Liang Chuan eat their food again?
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. Just like what is said in Dream of Red Mansions, there may be some dirty things hidden within the high walls.
Ding Wei was also a poor man. He worked hard to climb up the ladder, but the daughter he had raised for so long did shameless things behind his back. This daughter was not even his own!
Liang Chuan asked Sun Houpu for a large amount of tea. He hadn't been to Zhao Yunrang's house for a few days, and he didn't know what his current situation was. It happened that Sun Houpu's tea had arrived, so he sent him some.
It was just a little bit, but in fact there was nearly a large pile, at least twenty kilograms, all of which were pressed tea bricks.
Liang Chuan thought for a while, and simply asked Sun Houpu to join him. He promised that Sun Houpu would make his tea more popular, and he couldn't let him continue to owe him favors. He had to walk some roads by himself. How far can he go? It depends on his own ability.
Shuanglong Lane is not very prosperous!
The two people walked around and around in Shuanglong Lane. Sun Houpu couldn't understand why Liang Chuan paid so much attention to this down-and-out prince who lived in a dilapidated alley. Zhao Yunrang's mansion was in dilapidated condition. It would be more difficult to turn a family like this around than it would be for him to turn his own. It is even more difficult to promote the family’s tea.
Sun Houpu looked at the gate of Zhao Yunrang's house and felt a little uneasy. Although he was a descendant of a fallen prince, he was also a member of the royal family. A skinny camel was bigger than a horse, which was not something that businessmen like them could compare with. But this royal family member is too bad to live in a place like this!
Before entering the door, Liang Chuan specifically told Sun Houpu: "When you meet the people of the Zhao family, adults and children, you must be polite, especially his youngest son Zhao Zongshi. Even if he shits on your head, you still have to laugh. Continue with a straight face, you know?"
Sun Houpu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His grand Sun family also had a fortune in Qingyuan. If things got worse, they would just do this business. Why would they come here to pick up other people's shit?
What did Liang Chuan like about this family that he valued so much?
Seeing that he didn't answer, Liang Chuan asked again: "Do you remember what I said?"
Sun Houpu couldn't help but refute him and said, "I've written it down."
After a while, Zhao Yun stepped out and opened the door.
"Master Zhao, I haven't seen you for many days..." Liang Chuan smiled and saluted Zhao Yunrang. Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Yunrang saw Liang Chuan and immediately slammed the door and closed it again!
What a big rejection!
Even Sun Houpu, who had come with him, felt that he was so embarrassed. He came to visit someone and didn't even get in. He was given such a big look.
Liang Chuan looked puzzled, why did Zhao Yunrang, who used to be modest and polite, become so angry now?
"There is probably some misunderstanding. I must explain it clearly, otherwise we will really not be able to survive in Bianjing City after offending this man."
"Then what do we do now?"
Liang Chuan looked at the closed door with a serious face and said firmly: "You go back first, I will wait here, and when Zhao Yunrang speaks, I will explain to him personally!"
During his absence, someone must have said something detrimental to him to Zhao Yunrang. Otherwise, Zhao Yunrang was originally polite to him, but now he has changed so much?
"I'll wait with you!"
Naturally, Sun Houpu couldn't retreat alone. He also wanted to see what was so great about Zhao Yunrang that made Liang Chuan value him so much.
Now the more Liang Chuan attaches importance to him, the less he dares to despise him. The two have different visions. Liang Chuan can see many things that he cannot see.
The two of them waited from three o'clock in the morning until the sun set in the west. Liang Chuan was like a tree stump, motionless with roots under his feet. The two of them had not dripped water. Sun Houpu's foundation was not as strong as Liang Chuan's, and his lips were slightly white.
With a creak, the door of Zhao's house suddenly opened.
Zhao Yunrang sighed heavily and said, "Come in."
Several people entered the main hall. Zhao Yunrang told Zhao Zongshi: "Go and make some tea. They have been standing outside the door for a day. Put some more ginger to relieve their fatigue."
Zhao Zongshi snorted angrily and went into the house to make tea.
Liang Chuan hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhao is so polite that we are not thirsty. This friend of mine came from Qingyuan and brought the best tea from his family to pay homage to Mr. Zhao. Why don't Mr. Zhao try his tea?"
Zhao Yun said: "It seems that Mr. Ding is used to drinking the good tea from my family and dislikes the bad tea from my small courtyard. Liang Chuan, let me tell you, if you don't like my tea, you don't have to come here and show off!"
Liang Chuan was so frightened that he knelt down quickly. Sun Houpu had never seen Liang Chuan like this before. What Liang Chuan told him was still fresh in his memory. Before his mind could react, he knelt down too!
"Why did Mr. Zhao say this? Why did Xiao Min make such a gaffe that made Mr. Zhao resent Xiao Min so much? It is a blessing for Xiao Min to drink Mr. Zhao's tea for three lifetimes. It is really not as good as the tea from my friend's house." I am a member of the official family, and I also want you to taste what I have sent all the way here."
Zhao Yunrang didn't even look at Sun Houpu. Although he was from a declining royal family, he had his own arrogance in his blood, and he still looked down upon the businessman.
"Liang Chuan, let me ask you, since you have climbed the big tree like Ding Wei, why do you still come to me? I, Zhao Yunrang, can give you nothing that Ding Wei can give you!"
It seems that Zhao Yunrang thought that he had taken refuge with Ding Wei. Ding Wei had a reputation as a treacherous person and most of the loyal people in the court were at odds with him. Although Zhao Yunrang did not seek political power, the world belonged to his Zhao family. They would both be prosperous and suffer losses. The Zhao family Who cares if you don’t care?
Liang Chuan did not rush to explain, but straightened his waist, stood up and said: "Master Yi Zhao, what kind of person am I? Am I a villain who pursues inflammation, or a treacherous person who clings to the powerful?"
Zhao Yunrang had no comment.
Liang Chuan continued: "The Mr. Sun next to me has a fortune worth tens of millions, and there will be even more in the future. If I need money, I can just go to him, so why should I go to Ding Wei.
Ding said that the world is full of arrogance at the moment, but when the moon is waxing and it loses everything will turn back. Ding said that the time of arrogance is not long. There are many promising people in the dynasty, so why should I depend on him? "
Ding Wei's time to be arrogant was not long, and he said such rebellious words. Zhao Yunrang finally believed that if Liang Chuan really wanted to rely on Ding Wei, he would never say such words.
Zhao Yun gave way: "Then why are you..."
Liang Chuan told him from beginning to end how he met Ding Wei. Everything Liang Chuan said was true. Zhao Yunrang nodded repeatedly after hearing this. It would be strange if a person like Ding Wei didn't get punished if you went against his will. Liangchuan people are so weak that they can only accept compromise. This makes sense. .
"In this way, I wrongly blamed you. Sitting around, I accidentally lost control of my mood. Don't be offended, Sanlang! It's a pity that a capable minister like Lu Yijian has to retire and return to his hometown, while a person like Ding Wei can continue to control Government affairs, how can we not be impatient!"
Liang Chuan said: "Your Excellency, you are aware of this."
"Now the whole city is saying that you are going to be Ding Wei's son-in-law. At first, I thought I had mistakenly identified the person. There are so many people with the same name in the world, but then I heard that they are from the south, so I guessed that it was you, because you His accent is also obviously from the South.”
Zhao Yunrang looked at Sun Houpu and said, "Who is this brother...?"
Sun Houpu stood up, bowed his hands and said, "Sun Houpu, a humble citizen, meets Mr. Zhao!"
"I heard from Saburo that you come from a tea family?"
Sun Houpu said: "I can't say that I am from an aristocratic family. I just make a little money to make ends meet. Sir, you are serious!"
"The imperial court has very strict control over tea. Brother Pu, what is your tea? As far as I know, most of the Fujian tea in Bianjing is Jianzhou tea. There is not much tea in Quanzhou Prefecture, but it is rarely sold in the north?"
Naturally, Sun Houpu did not dare to tell him in front of others that my tea was specially smuggled. That would be asking for death.
Zhao Yunrang heard that Liang Chuan had taken refuge with Ding Wei and was about to break off relations with Liang Chuan. He wouldn't even let him in. How could such an upright person eat smuggled tea?
Sun Houpu said: "Our Sun family's tea is collected from the Changkeng Tea Mountain. The quality is comparable to that of Jianzhou tea. Although most of the tea seedlings are imported from Jianzhou, the improved tea seeds and soil quality of our hometown Changkeng are better." The climate is even better than Jianzhou tea."
Sun Houpu continued: "It's a pity that the times are bad. The world only knows Jianzhou tea as tribute tea and ranks it as the best in the world. Other teas are not looked down upon. Naturally, our tea is not looked down upon by the wealthy people in Bianjing." It’s worth mentioning.”
"How about I really want to try your Ye family's tea?"
Liang Chuan winked at Sun Houpu, who quickly moved the twenty kilograms of tea bricks to the back hall.
At this time, Zhao Zongshi came out holding the brewed ginger tea and offered a bowl to each of the three people.
Liang Chuan looked at Zhao Zongshi, who was not too young, and said: "Master Zhao, the young prince has reached the age to study in the school, right? Can there be guidance from famous teachers?"
Zhao Yun gave way: "All the famous teachers in Bianjing City have their quotas filled up, or they are asking for high prices. Let Shi'er go to an ordinary school, but I am afraid of damaging the face of our Zhao family. I have always been worried about his studies. Worry, Saburo has a good idea!"
Naturally, Liang Chuan couldn't directly say that big brother, you don't have money, but I do. I'll pay for your son to go to school. That would be extremely disrespectful.
Liang Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I do know a gentleman who is very knowledgeable and has an outstanding personality. Why not introduce him to the young prince as a teacher?"
Meng Liangchen, Meng Liangchen, you have been studying with your children in Fengshan for long enough, it’s time to show up!
