Chapter 38: Start reading

The wine table in the elegant room is not that big. In addition to Liu Tongyi, Bai Rujin and me, there is only one account room in Ruihe. After being seated, Bai Rujin said, "Master Bo, thank you for asking me to have this meal with boss Zhao. I'm just a helper in the middle of the matter of silk. I really want boss Mei to talk to boss Zhao. They are both doing business, and making money, and making money. "
When Bai Rujin spoke, I looked at Liu Tongyi a little.
Three years ago, Liu Xiangcheng was busy with government affairs and described it as rigorous. Three years later, Mei Yong was not constrained and looked like a lot of people.
Liu Tongyi was also looking at me with openness. Mei Yong and Zhao Cai met for the first time and looked at each other, which is a matter of course.
After Bai Rujin finished speaking, Liu Tong relied, "Boss Bai and Zicheng first use the seats. I want to talk to Boss in another quiet room first, I don't know if it is convenient."
I said, "It's okay to talk to Boss Mei first." Ruihe's account room immediately arranged a small room. This room was like a place to discuss secrets. There was only a bunch of bonsai, a square table, a few Just a chair.
Liu Tong and I sat across from the square table and sat down. The guy knocked on the door and brought in a few dishes and a pot of wine, bent down, and brought the door.
I glanced at the dishes on the table, and couldn't help laughing, "I just said I had to talk about something, instead of sending tea and wine, but it was a restaurant feature."
Liu Tongyi also laughed, raising his sleeves and pouring wine: "Well, since it was sent, I went to the countryside to follow the custom. I heard that there is a kind of private brewed wine in Chengzhou. I wonder if it is this wine?"
I held up the filled wine glass and brought it to my nose: "No, the local brewery in Chengzhou is rice wine. Maybe the shop saw that we came from outside to discuss the business, and specially sent the local imitation bamboo leaf green."
Liu Tong leaned back: "It seems that Boss Zhao has lived in Chengzhou for some time."
I said, "Yes, I came here before I got water. Because these silks have been delayed here."
Liu Tongyi smiled and looked at me: "I took the liberty to ask, Boss Zhao hadn't been in the business of collecting silk before."
At this time, if I followed the words and said something, why did Boss Mei see that there must be something like Liu Tongyi who looked familiar to me. This is a routine. But I was not in the court for a few years, and I was too lazy to talk in circles. He asked in vain, and I just answered.
I put down the glass and said, "Yes, the Tiannanhai is going north and north, and everything is by the way. However, because I go northward, I often bring some furs and wild ginseng and so on. This time it was sent for approval. For medicinal materials, I saw that Xia Si could be brought, and I was waiting to collect a batch. "I looked at Liu Tongyi and smiled again." No more than boss Mei, who is serious about making a big deal. This batch of silk can be collected or not. If Boss May wants it, I will withdraw the list. I don't do it in the line. "
Anyway, as soon as Dashui retreats, I will gather up and gather up my uncle's family for the past two years, and go to Java to avoid it. This is nothing more than buying and selling. I can give it to "Mr. Mei" as a generous person.
Liu Tong leaned back, "Boss Zhao said this when I was grabbing business. I had a talk with Boss tonight to explain it. We did n’t want to dig a corner, but wanted to negotiate with Boss Zhao makes long-term business. "
Maybe I have n’t run a business for a long time, and I ’ve heard for the first time that there is such a saying about high-price rush sales.
Liu Tongyi took out a small piece of silk from the sleeve, a piece of cloth: "This is a sample brought by Boss Zhao when we went to our weaving shop to discuss the sale. Boss Zhao may not know that if you walk on your front foot, the man on the back foot will put it These are sent to me. "
I took the silk and cloth, and Liu Tong leaned back, "Boss Zhao probably doesn't know what kind of silk it is."
I said, "I really do n’t understand silk cloths and so on. I only listen to what Brother Bai said. Chengzhou people call this butter butter. Because they are not good, they are not white, so they did n’t dare to take them out. It ’s better to make clothes than cotton cloth. It ’s called linoleum. It ’s stronger than ordinary silk. It does n’t wrinkle very much. Maybe you have seen this kind of silk produced elsewhere in the south of you.
Liu Tong listened to me silently and sighed, "This silk has a name called amber golden silk. The silkworm is called amber golden silkworm. This silkworm cocoons only eat in late summer. The leaves of the golden silk mulberry wood are as shiny as amber, so it is called amber gold silk, and the brocade made of amber gold silk is called amber gold silk brocade, which is generally only used as tribute brocade.
Liu Tongyi looked at the stunned me and added: "His Royal Highness King used to wear a robe made of amber and gold silk."
It turned out that butter cloth was still my old friend, no wonder I was so attached to it. Until then, I really didn't see how kind it was.
In this way, the butterwood that feeds leaves of Chengzhou native silkworms as rations is actually Phoebe nansi. It is often used as a coffin. When the king's ashes were picked up and buried in a beautiful scenery, I heard that he used a large coffin made of golden silk. I also used a python robe to make a shroud to wrap the ashes jar. I do n’t know if it was made of amber gold silk brocade.
If this is the case, when I am going to Nanyang, I will pick up a few pieces of amber gold silk cloth by the way, and bring a few butterwood along the way and sell them along the south, and I will probably make a profit.
I didn't hear the right of Liu Tongyi's back, but only touched the silk and preached: "No wonder that the owner of Ruihe, the big treasurer of Ruihe, came to set a high price himself when the flood occurred."
Liu Tong replied, "This is where the explanation is needed. Boss Zhao also knows that there are a lot of businesses like Ruihe in Jiangnan, and some spies will be placed in our weaving shop. I am afraid that Chengzhou will have amber gold. It is already known in the industry. If you use the price offered by Boss Zhao to collect the silk, it will be cut off. Or the silkworms think we are doing unscrupulous trading, and this time, we will not sell it to us. We I still want to take in Siyuan of Chengzhou as much as possible, and have been in business ever since. But I did n’t know Boss Zhao and did not know the temper of Boss Zhao. I was afraid to discuss with Boss Zhao to raise the price of silk collection. Boss Zhao would not agree That ’s why it ’s the case. I did n’t intend to it. In fact, I just wanted Boss Zhao to talk to us and agree to raise the price. It ’s an offense to do business in the long run together in the future.

He slowly explained this, saying a few words, then paused, and finally took out a folded paper from his sleeve. I took it and opened it, but it was a document he had signed to rob Rui He Set the silk back one by one. The handwriting of the entire document and the word Mei Yong are still the strength of Liu Xiang.
I couldn't help saying, "It's really safe to do business with Boss Mei. No wonder Ruihe's business is so big."
Liu Tong relied on raising the hip flask: "Or, like Boss Zhao, it's comfortable." He brought the wine glass to his mouth, and then put it down again, "Boss Zhao, has been traveling like this all the time?"
I said, "Just walking around and mixing some food by the way."
That year, I raised my legs, came out and dangled, and decided to run some business. At that time, the charges for washing King Huaiqing had just ended. When I went north, I deliberately passed not far from the capital and wanted to feel the aftermath of the incident. Although it has been considered as a new life from the beginning, I would like to know the news of my life behind me. Only I heard that Liu Tongyi resigned. After the emperor sinned, he continued to wisely administer the country. After taking all the remaining money from the palace of the King, the emperor decided to go to Henan to work diligently. He should finally realize that the trafficker is unreliable and ready to dig. King Zong no longer asked the government and returned to his home for retirement. The queen mother said that she would have to be vegetarian for the second half of her life. The princess's child had already been born. She was a boy and was taken over by the Li family to raise her. The princess said that she would read the scriptures for a lifetime for King Huai. The others didn't hear anything.
There should be no more. The Middle East is stable and there is no major trouble. It should be comfortable and comfortable, and it should be a good life. Everyone is happy.
I went north all the way, and my broken sleeve was fine. After experiencing all kinds, she suddenly pulled away, or folk women like flowers, such as sweet springs, such as Bai Cheng's Little Butterfly, Qinzhou's Wanwan, Frontier Xue'e, Desert Alena, Koryo's Kimiko ... or gentle, or caring , Or not knowing the world, or lively and charming. It was so warm and soothing to me.
The sound of rain outside the partially covered window was gradually rushing. I looked out the window and said, "I heard that Boss Mei wants to go back tomorrow, but I don't know if rain will stop tomorrow."
Liu Tong leaned back, "I may live in the city for a few more days."
I said, "Then you can talk more about this sale." It's okay to stay for a few more days. After Chengzhou bids a farewell, it is not necessary to see it in my life. "
Then I leaned to Liu Tong again, "Boss Mei who manages such a large business must be very tired. How did Boss think of doing business?"
Liu Tongyi also looked out the window: "When I was young, I read a legend with a knight inside. After breaking through the rivers and lakes, I switched to trading. But ..."
I said, "However, that knight was selling antiques?"
Liu Tong leaned his head and smiled, "Yes."
I got up and reached to the window. Liu Tong leaned to my side and pushed the sash completely open. The rain hit the eaves and wet the window sill.
When we went back to finish eating that out of Jiqingfang, it was already dark and it was raining harder. Liu Tongyi and Ruihe lived in the inn not far from Jiqingfang before leaving.
Bai Fu prepared two boats to pick up. Bai Rujin and I took one each. Bai Rujin said, "Brother Taiwan, it's raining heavily. I'm not polite to you either. Hurry and go home first." The fork turns back separately.
The boat was dangling in the pouring rain. I looked out in the warehouse and was about to go to the small building. The boatman said, "Master Zhao, there is a boat at your door. Is there a passenger?"
I pulled out my umbrella and opened an umbrella. Sure enough, a boat was mooring in front of the building. The bow stood alone in the rain.
I had thought about it, I would meet again one day, what would I say to him.
It's about being a stranger, chuckling a smile, and leaving it alone. But now I know I'm wrong.
I saw him and couldn't say anything at all. I didn't know what to say.
Say, who is your Excellency?
Say why are you here?
What am I going to say to you and how to tell you.
On the first day of my mission to Chengzhou, I stood here on a rainy night, the local prefecture, and all the officers and men. I must have become a person to watch closely.
What is the intention?
Grab me back for Qiyu, and ask me for the crime of bullying? Or, find an old person to tell the old story, and then let me go back.
Or just come to ask me, who are you, to investigate the truth?
I stood and listened to him on the opposite boat, "You are back."
After a while, I heard myself saying, "It's raining heavily, advanced house."
When I entered the building, I touched the table and turned on the fire lamp to light the fuel lamp. When looking back in the dim yellow light, he had sat down at the place where I ate barbecued meat day by day, picked up the side of the jar and shook it, "There is still wine. Can I drink?"
I remember that a few years ago, it was also a summer day, but it was during the day, Yun Yu came to my house, forgetting why it was, just remember that when he was about to leave, it suddenly rained heavily, Yun Yu was standing in the corridor The front road: "It just happens that I can't get away." I said: "This is God for the King to stay guests. Just did not prepare a seat in advance." Yun Yu laughed: "You can have wine."
At that time, the wine cellars of King's Palace were full of aged wines. It is not that only half of Chengzhou Bamboo Leaf Green is left at this time.
Yun Yu at that time was not Yun Yu at the moment either.
Just as Liu Tongyi in my eyes was just a phantom I painted in the mid-sky, not the real Liu Tongyi.
Yun Yu of the day was the only Yun Yu who could often gossip and talk with the king. The likes of Yun Yu were nothing but a phantom, a fake portrait painted on paper.
However, Liu Tongyi's illusion was painted by myself, and Yun Yu's virtual image was painted by Yun Yu for me.
From beginning to end, everything is false, and the virtual image has already dispersed, just like the clouds, it has disappeared without trace. That is, a mark remains in my heart.
Because that Sui Ya is nothing like Jing Chengjun.
Originally, what real person is better than the painting?
Jing Chengjun died three years, and these old talks are meaningless.
Sui Ya, Sui Ya.
In the dungeon that day, I shouted the last time. After that time, I couldn't call these two words again.
I stepped forward two steps and arched my hand: "Excuse me, who is the Lord of your government? Only when it was dark didn't he see clearly, he was indifferent, disrespectful and disrespectful. I wonder if Yu Ye is here, what's the matter?"
