Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 158: Why do you need so much money? (Total 8k today, no more)
Zhen Shixuan smiled and said, "I have something to ask Master Su."

Su Yun understood and said, "Zhen Zhonggui, please come in."

When Ah Hui, Ah Hu and others saw Su Yun being so polite, they immediately realized that this person was an honored guest. They quickly cleaned up the mess and then quietly closed the door. Except for Ah Hui, everyone else went home.

Su Yun and Zhen Shixuan sat down in the courtyard.

Zhen Shixuan looked at the courtyard and said with a smile: "Mr. Su, maybe you should change the courtyard? This courtyard is not worthy of you."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Oh, what do you mean?"

Zhen Shixuan said with a smile: "When the Su family passes the imperial examination in the spring, they will become officials. Such a small courtyard will not be able to accommodate many people."

Su Yun smiled and said, "I am thinking of changing one. I am already looking for one."

Zhen Shixuan nodded and smiled, "That's good, that's good."

These were just idle talk. Zhen Shixuan changed the subject and said, "The egg-filled pancake business of Mr. Su is a good business."

"Hmm?" Su Yun looked at Zhen Shixuan.

Zhen Shixuan said sincerely: "Since I met Mr. Su, you have given me too many gifts. I really don't deserve them. So I always wanted to provide a little help to Mr. Su, so I did a little research, haha.

Mr. Su, your egg-filled pancake business has encountered a lot of troubles recently, why don’t you let Shixuan help you to smooth it out, which is also a little thought from Shixuan. "

Su Yun originally guessed in his heart that Zhen Shixuan might be a member of the Imperial City Bureau. Now that he dared to say so, it was probably certain.

Su Yun was surprised and asked, "Can Zhen Zhonggui influence the situation outside the palace?"

Zhen Shixuan smiled softly and said, "It could have a slight impact."

Su Yun felt a little strange. In the past, when he came into contact with Zhen Shixuan, Zhen Shixuan always showed the image of a little eunuch in the palace. But today, Zhen Shixuan seemed calm and composed, and had the image of... a big spy.

Su Yun's heart moved, and he said happily: "That's great. Those people just now are the ones who help me. Many of their men have been injured or killed recently. They were also telling me about this today. If Zhen Zhonggui can help, that would be great."

Zhen Shixuan nodded and said, "I will take care of this matter. No one will disturb your business anymore. Just do your business."

Su Yun was surprised and said, "That involves the local tyrants in the entire Bianjing City. Can Zhen Zhonggui be influenced by it?"

Zhen Shixuan glanced at Su Yun and said with a smile, "Master Su, are you testing my ability?"

Su Yun waved his hand and smiled: "No, I just think it's too magical..."

Su Yun paused and said, "...Zhen Zhonggui, I happen to have something I want to do, but I'm not sure about it. You are knowledgeable and can you help me with it?"

Zhen Shixuan nodded and said, "Master Su, please go ahead."

Su Yun told Zhen Shixuan about the plan he had made with Ah Hui, Ah Hu and the others. Zhen Shixuan frowned slightly and said, "It's a bit troublesome."

Su Yun nodded and said, "It is quite troublesome, so I am not sure about it."

Zhen Shixuan smiled and said, "It's just a little troublesome. If Zhang Canzheng is willing to help, then there won't be any trouble."

Su Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Zhen Zhonggui probably knows Uncle Zhang well. He is not the kind of person who abuses public power for personal gain."

Zhen Shixuan looked at Su Yun with a half-smile and said, "Why, do you think that I, Zhen Shixuan, am someone who abuses public power for personal gain?"

After Zhen Shixuan changed his clothes, he became unusually sharp.

Su Yun was not afraid, he laughed and said, "Zhen Zhonggui, you are joking. I just want to ask you for advice. If you know, please tell me. If you don't know, forget it. There is nothing else to say."

Zhen Shixuan smiled and said, "But you are all very good at judging people. I, Zhen Shixuan, am indeed someone who can abuse public power for personal gain. Otherwise, why would I settle the matter for you?"

Su Yun was stunned, and then the two of them looked at each other and laughed, showing that they had similar interests.

Stop laughing.

Zhen Shixuan thought for a while and said, "If, as everyone says, we want to force Zuo Dihu to give up part of the market he controls, then we really can't just give him a warning and let it go.

To achieve this goal, you have to let your men fight against the local tigers. Once you defeat them, you can just take it away.

By then, the boss behind Zuo Di Hu will definitely make a move, and then I can come forward to negotiate, and I can get a certain percentage, but..."

Zhen Shixuan kept silent.

Su Yun understood what he meant and asked with a smile, "Zhen Zhonggui, how much do you want to take?"

Zhen Shixuan frowned and said, "There are risks if we intervene in this matter, and it is not a one-time thing. From now on, we will be the background behind the Su family's business. According to the industry rules... we have to take 70%."

Su Yun also frowned and nodded, "I have heard of this rule, but it is too high. My men are risking their lives. Only 30% is too little."

Zhen Shixuan did not look annoyed, and nodded with a smile, saying, "It is a bit high, but please understand, Master Su, this kind of thing cannot be accomplished by me alone, I need the help of the forces behind me, so I cannot act on my own.

If the people under your command come to me to ask for protection, they have no power and influence. If they have no support, even if they defeat those local tyrants, they will not be able to keep this business.

However, if you, Mr. Su, come and can persuade Zhang Canzheng, then even if they are all taken down, it probably won't be a big problem.

Mr. Su, if that is the case, I will not interfere. If I show up, it will be detrimental to your plan."

Su Yun nodded and said, "I understand." Zhen Shixuan stood up and said with a smile, "I originally wanted to help Su Dajia solve some problems today, but I didn't expect that I couldn't help. I can only repay Su Dajia's kindness when I have the chance in the future."

Su Yun also stood up and said with a smile: "Zhen Zhonggui, don't be polite. I will rely on you for many things in the future."

Zhen Shixuan nodded, and then said: "Mr. Su should have done well in the exam today, so I wish you all the best in advance."

Su Yun saw Zhen Shixuan off.

Then he returned to the yard and thought about Zhen Shixuan. Zhen Shixuan's arrival tonight was really beyond his expectations.

Zhen Shixuan came over, saying that he wanted to repay him for his previous gift, but he probably also wanted to make friends. The reason why Su Yun mentioned his plan was actually to prevent Zhen Shixuan from having to take action to settle the matter.

Zhen Shixuan asked for 70% and explained that it was the power behind him that wanted it. Su Yun understood this. The meaning of his proposal was to reject Zhen Shixuan's intention to settle the matter. Zhen Shixuan also understood his intention.

So although it seemed that nothing was accomplished tonight, the relationship between the two of them was closer, and Su Yun gained even more, because he knew that the power behind Zhen Shixuan was quite powerful, and it could actually intimidate the bosses behind those local tyrants.

Knowing this, maybe I can get help from the forces behind Zhen Shixuan in the future.

However, what he was planning might still depend on Zhang Dun.

However, Su Yun was not sure whether Zhang Dun would use his influence to help Su Yun do this.

Su Yun stayed in the yard for a while, then stood up and said to Ah Hui, "Let's go to Zhang's house."

Su Yun arrived at Zhang's house, and Zhang Ruo and others also returned.

Zhang Yuan laughed when he saw Su Yun and said, "Brother Yun, your glory today may spread throughout Bianjing City. Haha, catching Su Lang under the list is actually a storm in the Imperial Examination Hall. Tomorrow, it will be a big wonder in Bianjing."

Zhang Ruo was also trying to hold back his laughter while standing beside him.

Su Yun smiled and said, "The people of Bianjing are really too enthusiastic. It's frightening."

Su Yun shook his head repeatedly as he spoke.

Everyone laughed together.

Zhang Dun came out after hearing the voice, smiled and waved to Su Yun, asking him to follow him to the study.

Su Yun hurriedly followed, and the two of them came to the study.

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "You did well in the exam, didn't you?"

Su Yun nodded and said, "Uncle Ziyou did well in the exam."

Zhang Dun laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "You can prepare for the Spring Examination."

Su Yun nodded and said, "I will start preparing from tomorrow."

Zhang Dun nodded and said, "Let Ziyou teach you poetry and essays, and I will teach you the Spring and Autumn Annals. It is August now, and the Spring Examination will be in early February next year, so you still have a full six months.

You have basically understood the meaning of the Three Commentaries on the Spring and Autumn Annals, and your foundation has been laid.

Next, I just need to help you improve. Half a year is more than enough.

If you still don’t get a high score on this sutra in the Spring Examination, don’t blame me for spitting in your face.”

Su Yun nodded repeatedly and said, "It's not a big problem, it's not a big problem."

Su Yun was really confident. He had already mastered the three commentaries on the Spring and Autumn Annals, and with the help of Zhang Dun, who took the Spring and Autumn Annals as the main text, he had half a year to practice with a large number of question types. It would be strange if he still couldn't master it.

In fact, his current level is not very low, and he may not fail if he passes an examination, but it is obvious that no one, whether it is the housekeeper, Zhang Dun or Su Che, wants him to pass at the last place.

Alas, fame is tiring.

Seeing Su Yun's confidence, Zhang Dun was also satisfied and said, "Okay, let's just say it's a military order. If you don't do well in the exam, I'll sacrifice your head."

Su Yun nodded with a smile, and then said: "Uncle, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Zhang Dun looked at Su Yun and nodded, "Go ahead."

Su Yun introduced his egg-filled pancake business, and then told Zhang Dun about the recent conflicts.

Zhang Dun just listened without saying anything, waiting for Su Yun to talk about what he wanted to discuss.

After Su Yun finished talking about the first two things, he talked about his next plan.

Zhang Dun frowned as he listened and said, "You mean, you need to use my power to intimidate the forces behind the sitting tigers?"

Su Yun nodded and said, "Without your support, uncle, I still can't hold on even if I defeat those tigers."

Zhang Dun frowned and said, "Are you short of money? When the spring exam comes, if you pass the exam and become a Jinshi, you can become an official and enjoy the salary of the imperial court.

Don't tell me what will happen to Ruo'er after she marries you. I have raised my daughter not to be extravagant, so why do you need so much money?"
