Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the prosperous concubine!Ye Li suddenly realized that Zhang Wanwan had made a fortune yesterday, and the people in the mansion were afraid of obstructing the eyes of the master, so they only found these clothes to wear, so as not to make the master feel unhappy.
Ye Li smiled and said, "It's impolite to be in the next. It is always good to be thrifty."
The housekeeper smiled helplessly.Diligence and frugality are naturally a good thing, but with the wealth of the Zhang family and their status in Nanjing, they are often ridiculed for this, and they have long been used to it.
Zhang Wanwan had already waited in the hall with his wife and daughter.Looking at Mrs. Zhang and Ms. Zhang, who were dressed in common clothes, Ye Li suddenly had a better understanding of Zhang Wanwan's stinginess.Because of the injury, Zhang Wanwan's face was still a little pale, but when Ye Li came in, he smiled and was very attentive. "Master Chu is here. Please forgive the old man for not being able to go out."
Ye Li folded his hands and smiled and said, "Master Zhang is polite. In Xia Chu Junwei, I have met Madam, Miss Zhang."
Zhang Baiwan said to his daughter happily, "Jiu'er, don't you soon meet Lord Chu."
Miss Zhang was very shy and stepped forward with a small shattered step, and bowed Yingying, "Pearl has seen Master Chu." When she saw this young lady, Ye Li could finally understand the face of Master Lin when he mentioned Zhang Wanwan's daughter. Why is it weird?
In all fairness, Miss Zhang is not ugly.Although not a stunning beauty, she should also be a delicate beauty.But this young lady gave people a very weird feeling, and her staring gaze made her feel like sweating secretly even if she was calm as Ye Li.Ye Li twitched the corners of her eyes, and took a step back inadvertently, "Miss Zhang is polite." Then she turned her gaze to Zhang Wanwan who was next to her, swearing not to look at that lady Zhang again.
Seeing that Ye Li didn't look at herself, Miss Zhang couldn't help but reddened her wronged eyes.Zhang Wanwan looked at Ye Li and then at his daughter. He couldn't help but sighed in his heart and smiled at Ye Li: "Master Chu, why don't we sit in first?"
Ye Li smiled and said, "Master Zhang, please."
Because only Ye Li was in the banquet, Master Zhang took Madam Zhang and Miss Zhang into the table together.The banquet is not very rich but it is not rude. It seems that Master Zhang is not ignorant of the situation even though he is stingy.After Ye Li took the seat first, Miss Zhang happened to sit beside her, which made Ye Li's body stiff again.
"Mr. Chu, Pearl will pour wine for you." Miss Zhang picked up the jug and eagerly wanted to pour the wine for Ye Li. Ye Li had to thank him, and sighed and went straight to the subject with Master Zhang. If she really made Master Zhang say It would be ugly to plan to marry her daughter, "Master Zhang, in fact, I am visiting today. I want to discuss business matters with Master Zhang."
Master Zhang was taken aback, and smiled: "What's the matter, why don't we talk about it after we have eaten it?"
Ye Li said lightly: "What if it is about the one million deniers of grain donated by Master Zhang to King Li yesterday?"
Zhang Wanwan's face suddenly sank, as long as he thinks of that one million deniers of grain, his heart is bleeding.
"What does Master Chu want to talk about?" Zhang Wanwan looked at Ye Li in confusion, and Ye Li asked with a smile, "I wonder if it is convenient to talk here?" Zhang Wanwan hesitated, and finally looked at his wife and daughter. Madam takes Pearl down first. I have something to talk to Young Master Chu." Madam Zhang is just an ordinary woman in a boudoir, who just thinks of her husband as the heaven and she doesn't understand business matters at all.I had to pull Miss Zhang, who was still a little unwilling, down.
"I don't know what Lord Chu wants to talk about with Lao Yu?" Zhang Baiwan asked.
Ye Li smiled and said: "Yesterday Master Zhang donated one million deniers of food to King Li. But as far as I know, King Li has sent at least 800,000 troops this time. Even if everything goes well, you can promise the Mo family in the shortest time. It takes at least half a year for the army to come and go. During this period, the ration required is at least about 3 million deniers. And this is the most conservative estimate. Master Zhang thinks... the Royal Palace of Li might win the battle within half a year. The palace?"
Zhang Baiwan stared at him with some caution and said, "What do you mean, son?"
Ye Li smiled and said: "There is still another news. This time... the army is out, but the court has not transferred much grain from the granaries. Because... this year's drought in Xiling and lack of harvest, the situation in Bei Rong is also not very good. Presumably, Mr. Zhang also knows a little about the food business. The imperial court sold a large part of the grain that had just been put into storage to Xiling a month ago. Therefore, this conservative estimate of 3 million deniers... I am afraid that Mr. Zhang will be required. And the grain merchants in Jiangnan."
Zhang Baiwan's face turned dark when he heard it, "Wang Li... Wang Li is going to break my Zhang family." One million yuan donation has already hurt Zhang's vitality. If all the rations are to be paid Assuming the family's responsibility, the Zhang family is really going to be over.More importantly, the Zhang family couldn't raise so much food at all for a while, and when he was accused of delaying the military plane, he would still have to die.Sure enough... Wang Li hadn't planned to let him go from the beginning.
"Not only that, but... Honestly speaking, I can say that this battle will not be completed in a year or a half. By then, the Zhang Family..." Zhang Wanwan's face was earthy, looking at Ye Li. "Young Master Chu specifically talked about this, isn't he just trying to scare the old?" Zhang Baiwan is also a shrewd businessman, naturally knowing that Ye Li can't specifically talk about this for him.
Ye Li looked down and said lightly: "There is indeed a way to help Master Zhang, but I don't know if Master Zhang is willing?"
"Also ask Master Chu to save me." Zhang Baiwan said quickly.
Ye Li smiled and handed out an envelope, Zhang Wanwan took it in his hand and looked at it at ten lines, his face changed involuntarily, and he stared at Ye Li and said, "You...Mr. Chu, you are..." Ye Li smiled and said, "Zai Xia is surnamed Chu. The Chu family... and the Xu family are related by marriage."
Zhang Baiwan was clear, the expression on his face changed, and it took a long time before he asked, "Can Master Chu be the master?"
Ye Li smiled and took out a token from his sleeve and put it on the table.Zhang Wanwan stared in astonishment at the murderous fixed character on the token made of black jade. Although he had never seen the token of Ding Wangfu, Zhang Wanwan really didn’t think anyone in the world would dare to imitate the order of Ding Wangfu. brand.And... The Chu family and the Xu family are indeed relatives by marriage. With the Xu family’s status in Licheng, how is the possibility of such an outstanding talent of Chu Jun serving for the Ding Palace much higher than that of traveling thousands of miles to the south of the Yangtze River? Take refuge in the Royal Palace of Lebanon.
"How does Master Zhang feel?" Ye Li asked.
"If... the old man disagrees, what is Young Master Chu going to do?" Zhang Baiwan asked.
Ye Li said indifferently: "Then I will ask Master Zhang to forget what happened today." Zhang Wanwan said in a deep voice, "The old man has to think about it." Ye Li didn't get too wordy, and stood up and said, "In that case, let's leave now."
Zhang Baiwan looked at Ye Li and said with some fluke: "Actually, if Master Chu can agree to a request from the old man, the old man can reply to the young man now." Seeing Zhang Baiwan's satisfied and expectant look in Ye Li's heart Rolling his eyes, he quickly said, "Master Zhang, forgive me, I'm actually doing errands for.... If Master Zhang has any requirements, I can convey it to the next, but if it's related to the next, I'm afraid it's... Please forgive me. "
