Yaoyao said, "I have also used Boss Lin's material. She is a very good person. She went to the imperial capital. Even though the material is still good, she always feels something is a bit short."
Zhao Changqing said, "Mrs. Luo from Boss Luo's newly taken over is also kind, but she doesn't feel the same as Sister Lin."
Yaoyao smiled, "That's what it said."
Zhao Changqing said goodbye from Yaoyao, and was lamenting that Boss Lin had gone to the imperial capital and had another friend missing in the border town. He had met Boss Lin again in unknown years. He heard a burst of gongs and drums, and the crowds were crowded, and he stopped with the carriage. Yongfu asked, "What's wrong?"
The driver outside said, "There is a wedding party passing by on Paifang Street, and the brides are catching the road. Madam, I can't see that it will be dispersed for a while, so why don't you take a detour."
Even if the wedding team passed Paifang Street, it wouldn't be impossible to even walk on the road. Zhao Changqing lifted up the curtains of the car and looked out, and saw the joy team being so generous. It was not so majestic. The wedding was originally a matter of lively excitement, but the joy team was walking, and there were eight servants riding black horses behind it constantly spilling money on the street, attracting the people to rob. Zhao Changqing couldn't help but frown and asked, "Whose family is getting married?" Even if he wanted to distribute money, go to the temple to donate school, donate schoolhouses, and donate military rations to the army, isn't it better than spilling money on the street? How much money can be spilled like this? But the people robbed it and it is easy to get into trouble. I really don't know if it is true and good or false good.
Because Paifang Street was so lively, the coachman grabbed someone nearby and asked, and replied to Zhao Changqing, "It was said that the cousin of the general's mansion married Mr. Feng, who was engaged in military ration business in our border town."
I couldn't find out anything on the street, so Zhao Changqing just asked casually and ordered the coachman to tell him, "Let's take a detour."
The coachman was also smart and sent Zhao Changqing home. He then found out the whole story of the marriage on the street. In the evening, he told Zhao Changqing carefully, "The cousin of the general's mansion is the girl from the general's wife's family, the sister of the major general's wife. He was originally raised in his hometown and was a marriage facilitated by the major general's wife's wife's brother, Mr. Li. Mr. Feng is in the military ration business. He heard that he made a lot of money, so he married the lady of the official family."
Zhao Changqing asked, "Do you know which Mr. Feng is it?"
The coachman said, "It is said that it is the son of a widowed wife of the Zhu family."
Zhao Changqing immediately thought of Feng Jian, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, but he couldn't be anxious about this matter. Zhao Changqing said, "I understand. When you have dinner, go to Lizi's house and tell Lizi, when will you have time to go to my pharmacy? I have something to discuss with him."
The coachman took the order and went there.
Xia Wen was sorting out his bookshelf, but he couldn't hear it clearly, and asked, "What's wrong? Is it Mr. Li and Mr. Feng's?"
Zhao Changqing went over to help organize and said, "It's not a big deal. Today I came out of Qingyun Lane and saw a wedding party passing by Paifang Street. It was such a big show."
"It's not uncommon to have a big show. But while the wedding team was walking, there were people riding on horseback and spilling money, which caused many people to bow their heads and fight for it." Zhao Changqing handed the book in his hand to Xia Wen. Xia Wen said, "Is this family sick? If you have money, you don't have to scatter everywhere like this. Ordinary people earn a few hundred yuan a month. When they see someone spilling money all over the floor, they won't be red. If you fight, you can easily make a fight. It's a happy event. It's a natural thing to do to make a fuss. What's the fun of fighting?"
Zhao Changqing said, "Who said it was not?"
Xia Wen arranged the books neatly and said, "I feel familiar with the major general's wife, Mr. Li, the younger brother of the major general, is he the one who troubled his father before?"
Zhao Changqing smiled, "You have a good memory."
"I remembered him as soon as I heard it." Xia Wen laughed, "It's the man named Feng who has some relationship with the Zhu family. I'm still a distant relative to us." The Yue family's grandmother came from the Zhu family. Two old men from the Zhu family passed away the previous year. Zhao Changqing was extremely sad. Xia Wen remembered it in his heart.
Zhao Changqing's face was slightly cold, "What kind of shit is he a distant relative." He told Xia Wen about how Feng Jian designed her secret recipe for her bun shop and how Li Hua escaped, and said, "When he was a child, he had trouble with Aning Abai in school. Aning Abai was almost abducted when he was young, and they all aroused because of him."
Xia Wen suddenly cursed with a very ugly swear word. Zhao Changqing looked at him blankly, and Xia Wen asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Changqing laughed, "I didn't expect Dr. Xia would even curse people."
Xia Wen laughed, "I haven't heard Dr. Zhao say 'bullshit' before."
The two looked at each other and smiled, Xia Wen asked Zhao Changqing, "Do you think I am not as gentle as you think?"
Zhao Changqing smiled, "I am not as gentle as water, so don't bother anyone."
After a few gossips, Xia Wen mentioned the old words again, "Our family and the one named Feng are not ordinary grudges. Moreover, although my father was implicated last time, you often went to Qingyun Lane. Uncle Li couldn't like us, and this grudge had long been formed. You should not have the intention to harm others, and you should be careful of others. When Li Zi comes, you should also ask me to listen. Although I have no idea, I can't ask you to take this matter alone."
Zhao Changqing laughed, "Okay."
The two men kept the bookshelf, Zhao Changqing ordered the maid to bring warm water. After washing their hands, Xia Yu asked them to go for supper.
The pear came at noon the next day and happened to have dinner in Zhao Changqing's villa.
When Zhao Changqing talked about Feng Jian's marriage with the Li family, the coachman could only inquire about the surface, but Li Zi was familiar with the inside story, saying, "The General's wife and the Young Lady are relatives and nephews, and they were from the Li family in the imperial capital. The Li family was in decline. Now the largest official in the family is the sixth-rank editor of the Hanlin Academy. Otherwise, Li Yun could not go to the border town to find a mission. The Li girl who married Feng Jian was indeed Li Yun's sister and the general's wife's niece. But the same is true, she was born in a vassal, so she was not as good as the General's wife and the Young Lady. Li Yun was originally a small official in the military commander, but she was not very strong, but she was a first-class fat man. Feng Jian leaned on the big tree of Li Yun when he went to the General's Mansion to curry favor with him."
Zhao Changqing said, "It is not surprising that Feng Jian is engaged in military ration business and currying against Li Yun. Just a businessman, how can he marry the real lady of the Li family? Even if he is a concubine, I feel strange. If Feng Jian gives his sister to Li Yun, it would be very clear."
Li Zi laughed mockingly, "Feng Jian has a sister who married a grandson from the seventh house of the Zhu family early. He wanted to flatter Li Yun, so he bought a few beauties in Jiangnan, so he recognized one of the most iconic appearance as his sister and became a concubine for Li Yun."
Zhao Changqing laughed, "This Feng Jian is not worthless."
"These methods are not too rare," Li Zi said. "Our business is now big, but it cannot be compared with his military ration business. Even the big grain merchants in Huguang have to rely on Feng's expression to make a living, but his hand is getting longer and he has to be even accustomed to the medicinal material business."
Zhao Changqing was puzzled, "The Feng family came from an ordinary family, and even some of their old foundations were limited. No matter how capable Feng Jian was, I heard that the price of military rations is much cheaper than the food on the market. The Chen family has only been in the border town for more than six years. How could Feng Jian have so much money and be able to interfere in the medicinal materials business?"
Lizi said, "The business in his grandson's hands is not his own business. As far as I know, the money he has made up, and the profit of five cents per month is borrowed from everywhere."
Xia Wen said in surprise, "Such high interest."
"It's hard to borrow this silver at the beginning. Feng Jian sends the interest from each company every month. For example, if you give your family 10,000 taels of silver, the monthly interest will be 500 taels. The shops in the archway are the best location, and each store is only 500 taels." Li Zi said, "Feng Jian pays interest every month. Nowadays, some people who want to lend him money are three cents of profit and two cents of profit. Even if they have one cent of profit, some people still want to lend him."
Zhao Changqing thought, "I wonder if he dared to interfere in the medicinal materials business."
Xia Wen was born into a family of scholarly officials, and was also sensitive to this, saying, "Business money is still a small matter. For example, Feng Jian used the money from an official and general to give him high profits. To put it bluntly, he would benefit equally. Not only did he earn money, but his relationship with officials and generals in various border towns would naturally be better."
"Yes." Zhao Changqing was worried. Her hatred with Feng Jian had already been formed, and it was impossible to resolve it. It was just that it was due to all parties at the beginning. At that time, when Feng Jian was young, he could do something to buy people and cause trouble for Zhao Changning. To this day, Xiao Lihua'er's affairs were still unfinished. Even if she was willing to take a step back, Feng Jian would not be able to prevent the root cause from being eradicated!
Lizi didn't want Zhao Changqing to be upset about Feng Jian's affairs and said, "Don't worry, I'm staring at this kid. Even if he married the Major General's cousin, I might not be afraid of him!" Lizi has experienced a lot in the same place as Manager Li in recent years. He remembers his own grudges clearly. Therefore, when Zhao Changqing asked him to inquire about Feng Jian, he knew them as much as possible.
Zhao Changqing had no good idea for the moment, so he had to remind Li Zi, "No matter how much Feng Jian has any movement, don't tell me, you should be careful when you go out yourself."
Zhao Lizi smiled, "It's so long-winded. If you can't even arrange your own safety, how dare you go out?"
Just as Zhao Lizi was about to say goodbye, Zhao Changqing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Lizi, do you think I'm good at mixing it in the medicinal material business?"
Zhao Lizi grabbed the teacup and drank half a cup of tea, saying, "To be honest, this military business is no different from ordinary business, but it must have a good relationship with the army. If there are no acquaintances in the army, the business will be difficult to do. Furthermore, if there are acquaintances in the army, where do the medicinal materials come from? You also have to have a way to medicinal materials. This is the way to enter bulk medicinal materials, not a small matter of going to any medicine in your pharmacy for dozens of kilograms."
