Chapter 230: The strange old friend

However, Tan Zong's age still surprised everyone. After all, Tan Zong looks young. Some well-informed people immediately remembered the new Koyayuan in Nanjing Prefecture this year, which seemed to be the name Tan Zong and Tan Menghua.

At this time, a young man suddenly came out of the crowd. The young man looked average but had a flush face, which seemed to be caused by excitement. Before everyone could come back to their senses, Huang Jingqi said something that shocked everyone: "Menghua, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Someone immediately recognized him, as if he was the eldest son of Huang Jingqi, the old fox of the Huang family in the city.

When Tan Zong heard someone greeting him, he was slightly stunned. He turned his head and found out that it was Huang Jingqi, a classmate at Bailu Academy. Strictly speaking, the relationship between the two was not good, mainly because Tan Zong felt that Huang Jingqi was too merciful. At that time, Huang Jingqi realized that he was from a wealthy family and was unwilling to date ordinary people like Tan Zong, but was much worse than Xu Wen.

However, no matter how Huang Jingqi is, he was one of the top people on the list that day. So if we count it, his relationship with Tan Zong is much higher than that of ordinary classmates, and he is also considered to be a young age.

"It turned out to be Jingqi, but I didn't want to meet you here." Tan Zong did not show too much joy on his face, but he just nodded slightly. He also had an extremely plain tone when speaking, obviously he was unwilling to communicate more. In fact, Tan Zong himself has this kind of temperament. Since he had an average relationship with Huang Jingqi, he would not take care of his face at this time.

It is impossible for a person who hasn't even drunk a few times before to get Tan Zong's friendship.

Although Huang Jingqi still had a smile on his face at this time, his heart was filled with embarrassment.

Before this, he was unwilling to speak this way. He knew that he had not had enough relationship with Tan Zong. Judging from his experience at Bailu Academy, it was very likely that his greeting would not be effective. But Huang Jingqi could not resist the urging of me beside him, so he spoke. The result was obvious that Tan Zong's attitude had already determined everything.

But Huang's father Huang Wenda smiled over there.

Huang Wenda had never expected Tan Zong, a dignified sixth-rank Jiangnan guerrilla, to have a good relationship with his son who had just passed the imperial examination. He had been fighting in this mall for decades and was very clear about this. This is reality. But he still asked his son to say hello, with the simple purpose, which was to give everyone present an impression: the Huang family could hand over the words to this Lord Tan Zong.

This fact may be very inconspicuous at this time. Some people even think that Huang Jingqi was neglected by Tan Zong and ridiculed him by Huang Wenda. But in Huang Wenda's eyes, these are all done by people without eyes. Real smart people have already taken all of these, and they will naturally ask for help from the Huang family in the future.

"If you do business, you are bold, careful, thick-skinned, and have to have a long-term vision." Huang Wenda stood behind the crowd, watching Tan Zong and Lin Qingyun get on the flower boat surrounded by everyone, and then turned to his son beside him and said, "Dad asked you to study hard in the academy to avoid socializing in order to have a good foundation. Since you have passed the imperial examination, you have to change it. Remember, you are the only juren in Wuxi County this year, and you are also a classmate of Lord Tan."

"Dad, the child doesn't understand." Huang Jingqi did not understand Huang Wenda's meaning: it was easy to understand the first half of the sentence, but he was a little confused afterwards. Tan Zong's meaning was already very obvious just now, and he didn't understand why Huang Wenda still mentioned this.

Huang Wenda smiled and said, "I remember you said that he was from Yuhang and was not familiar with Wuxi County. As a classmate, you must have the fullest friendship as a landlord." After that, Huang Wenda stopped talking and caught up with everyone moving forward. He greeted several business members who were also behind him enthusiastically.

Seeing his father's harmonious appearance with others, Huang Jingqi smiled bitterly, and then he understood what Huang Wenda meant. Huang Jingqi was used to being arrogant and withdrawn in the academy. Not to mention Tan Zong, he didn't take it seriously at the beginning, even Xu Wenchang, the Jinke Jie Yuan, at the beginning. Now Huang Wenda asked him to take the initiative to come to Tan Zong, so how could he not smile bitterly? But he was not brainless, knowing that doing this would be of great benefit to the Huang family, so he smiled bitterly, but he had already agreed in his heart.

"Tan Zong is an interesting person. This time, this old fox from the Huang family was afraid that he would not catch a chicken but lose a handful of rice." Yao Yu, who was standing at the edge, saw everything in his eyes, especially the passage of Tan Zong snubting Huang Jingqi in public, and he even savored more information from it.

In the past few days, news of the robbery of Changzhou and other places has been spread. Basically, as long as some families have obtained the news, the Huang family's shop has continuously adjusted the price of prices, making the rice price too 40%. The Huang family's move directly led to the market price of Wuxi County, and almost everything began to rise rapidly, which means that the Yao family's grocery shop is still strong. However, in the past few days, the goods of several shops were basically bought as soon as they were put on the table. Even if a shop secretly raised half the price, it was the same. Such a large pick-up volume made Yao Ji of the Yao family unable to hold on.

Every morning meeting, the shopkeepers in the shop would bring up this matter and sing it out. By the way, they sighed and missed such a great opportunity to make money in vain. They said bluntly that they would not increase by 40%, even if it increased by 20%. There was even an old shopkeeper who held the relationship and invited the clan elders in the clan to persuade Yao Yu to raise the price.

Yao Yu knew very well that although Yao Ji belonged to him, he also lived in the Yao family. Yao Ji had to hand over a considerable share of the profits of each year for the clan. If Yao Ji could make more money, the clan's share would naturally rise, and the benefits of the old shopkeepers there were naturally the same. So it is really not wrong for these people to have this idea.

However, Yao Yu still insisted on that idea. His Yao family has been trapped in Wuxi for several years. Although the branch in Changzhou has been open for two years, it has been suppressed by its peers there. It is basically just a profit and no small profit. However, this time, Wuxi County and other counties were robbed at the same time, which gave him an opportunity to expand rapidly: as long as he assisted the court in doing his duty as a merchant at this time, the court will naturally not forget him when he rewarded him in the future.

After receiving Lin Qingyun's post the day before yesterday, his idea became even stronger. Even the wife and two concubines in the room were useless. Today, Lin Qingyun invited everyone again, especially Tan Zong came over. After Yao Yu thought about it for a while, he felt that this was a signal that the court wanted to rectify the market price.

In other words, Tan Zong's appearance was not to appease the wealthy families in Wuxi County, but to send news: the court was dissatisfied with the behavior of some people in Wuxi County.

Just now, Tan Zong's neglect of Huang Jingqi fell into Yao Yu's eyes, which deepened the signal that Yao Yu thought: Even though he was a classmate with Huang Jingqi and had a relationship with the same age as the same year, the Huang family was the first culprit of the soaring prices in Wuxi County and the city. Tan Zong would not let him go easily because of his classmate and his classmate!

When Yao Yu thought of this, he felt relieved. Seeing that the people on the dock had already left, Yao Yu hurriedly got on the boat.

At this time, the flower boat had already sat in the seat.

Those who can be invited by Lin Qingyun’s posts are naturally the top figures in Wuxi County. However, this time, Lin Qingyun was not invited by everyone. Except for a few county-level scholars, most of them are members of Wuxi Trading Club. As for medical clubs like Wu Xingwen, no one came.

When Tan Zong entered the flower boat, he found that the person who greeted the cabin was Lin Qingyun's master Li Fuxiu. Seeing Lin Qingyun and Tan Zong approaching, Li Fuxiu hurriedly came forward and invited everyone to enter the inner cabin one by one to sit down. At this time, Tan Zong realized that there were only a few people just now, but most of them followed him to shine. It was also a way to support the younger generation. The people who could really sit in the inner cabin were just one table.

After everyone sat down one by one, Li Fuxiu gently slapped her high-fives, but many women came in from the cabin door next to her. These women were all light in shape, young and beautiful, but the one who was in charge was Xiao Ping'er who had met Tan Zong.

This time, Xiao Ping'er was dressed in a gorgeous dress, with gold paint on his forehead, red powder on his face, and slightly exposed shoulders. The plain white strapless breast only reached his chest, revealing a pair of extremely beautiful collarbones. The outer cover was covered with gold-patterned floor skirts, and hundreds of birds were embroidered on it. Especially when Xiao Ping'er raised her hands lightly on her chest, her sleeves were placed together, revealing a huge blue phoenix bird, which was very beautiful. Even Tan Zong, who was used to the beauty of the three girls in the family, was also amazed at Xiao Ping'er's outfit at this time.

Especially the exposed collarbone, which attracted even more attention. Tan Zong knew that although Dashunchao could not help but defend against men and women, he was just showing his arms. At most, he showed his feet. The one who showed his collarbone was already very bold. What's more, Xiao Ping'er's appearance was extraordinary, and her appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people.

But after all, Tan Zong is a person who has lived in later generations for decades. The online information in later generations is extremely developed. I have never seen any beauty. Whether it is clothes or clothes, whether it is Chinese or foreign, I have seen it with my own eyes. Even places like Amrotterdam have been visited in person, so Tan Zong was just amazed. But he realized that compared with the three girls in his family, Xiao Ping'er was still a little different.
