Troubled World Merchant

The nephews and uncles here didn't know that the people at this table slandered them like this. When the two of them went upstairs to the office, Duan Jintang's smiling face drooped, and his mood was even worse because of his distress.Ye Shaojun secretly looked at his face, wondering whether he was jealous or distressed, probably because of distress, Ye Shaojun comforted him in a low voice: "Uncle, it is good for us to win over the Feng family. The situation is not stable recently, and there is another war in the south There is a war, and we have to go through several levels to transport our tea, and we need a backstage."

Duan Jintang glanced at him, Ye Shaojun bit the bullet and said good things, he really wanted to make a good relationship with the Feng family, although the purpose was not pure.Duan Jintang was very angry when he saw his earnest appearance, and he knew that what he said was right, but he hated Miss Feng Er, and even the Feng family didn't like it anymore. Duan Jintang said very unreasonably: "Our Duan family and the Feng family are well Don't violate the river, don't need to climb high, and my Duan family's business doesn't need to be borrowed from the Feng family. I have done very well these years, and you don't have close contacts with the Feng family. My Duan family is a scholarly family, and I have nothing to do with those warlords. relation."

Ye Shaojun was choked by his unreasonableness, he gritted his teeth and thought, how could he have such an uncle who was born to restrain him.

Ye Shaojun turned around angrily and left just as Mrs. Feng and Miss Feng were about to leave. Ye Shaojun greeted him with a smile. Mrs. Feng looked at him and smiled: "Manager Ye is so polite, you don't need to come here specially." Ye Shaojun looked She glanced at Feng Wanying and smiled: "Wanying is my classmate, you are her sister-in-law, I should." Mrs. Feng smiled while holding a handkerchief.

Feng Wanying didn't see Duan Jintang coming out, she was a little disappointed, she glanced upstairs, Mrs. Feng pulled her into the car, Ye Shaojun opened the car door for the two of them, Mrs. Feng saw that he was very handsome, so she kept being kind to him: " Please trouble Manager Ye." Ye Shaojun smiled and sent the two of them to the car, watched them leave and stood at the door of the teahouse for a long time, not very affectionate, purely did not want to see his uncle.

Mrs. Feng saw him standing for a long time from the rearview mirror of the car and smiled: "Our family Wanying is still charming, you see another one who can't walk." Feng Wanying couldn't help but look back, feeling a little happy Yes, a girl naturally likes being held by everyone.Mrs. Feng saw her smile and took her arm: "Okay, don't be angry, your brother runs out every three days, and our aunt and sister-in-law are the only ones at home. If I don't love you, who will love you? Tell your sister-in-law Which one do you like, my sister-in-law will make a plan for you." Feng Wanying couldn't laugh or cry: "Sister-in-law!" She didn't even look at the driver in front of her, it was true.

Mrs. Feng saw that she was really blushing, so she didn't bother her anymore. Anyway, she already knew that her sister-in-law had fallen in love with his uncle. Mrs. Feng smiled thinking of Duan Jintang. Her sister-in-law's vision is really sharp. The etiquette is impeccable, and as the head of the Duan family, he is much more promising than his nephew.

The two aunts and sisters-in-law went back home arguing, and Duan Jintang also left in a fit of temper. Of course, he left alone. Ye Shaojun didn't coax him anymore, and he didn't care. If you can have five days of peace and harmony in a month, then you have burned a high incense.

When Duan Jintang went out, he had the same mentality as Ms. Feng, and went to cheer for the person he liked, but when he came back, he was similar to Ms. Feng. He returned disappointed, even angry. The strong gap made his face extremely ugly. After getting out of the car, he went straight to the yard. The crabapple trees all over the garden had fallen leaves, which was very romantic. Unfortunately, Duan Jintang didn't care to appreciate it. He patted the broken leaves on his body and scolded the servant: "I'm so lazy, right? No matter what you look at, you are waiting to die."

The servant swallowed his words and let him scold him, for the sake of his money they could pretend they didn't hear it.Duan Jintang was just cursing and cursing all the way, all the servants were smeared and listless from beginning to end.

Duan Jintang entered the room, the old housekeeper saw his expression and poured him a cup of tea: "Sir, what's the matter?" The Duan family earns a lot of money, so they have already been scolded and ran away.Duan Jintang still didn't dare to scold the old butler, nor did he dare to explain that he and Ye Shaojun had a quarrel, so he had to drink tea in a fit of anger. The old butler brought him a few plates of dim sum, and Duan Jintang ate it all afternoon. Distressed.

Ye Shaojun didn't come back for several days, and Duan Jintang's backbone was also pissed off by him, so he didn't go to him either. He put all his energy into making money. It's almost the end of the year, and the tea business will be easy to start. He There are a wide range of customers, ranging from high-ranking officials and dignitaries to common people. Who doesn’t buy some tea for Chinese New Year? They also bring it with them when greeting relatives and visiting relatives. As a result, there are more accounts. Net profit, plus a lot of things up and down the shop.

He is in Tianjin, but the three tea gardens are not here. It is in the south. Now that the war is in chaos, it is not easy to buy goods once. You have to be extra careful. Duan Jintang is very worried about this. The source of goods is the foundation of making money. To grab it, his father wanted to sell the tea garden far away, saying that it was inconvenient to take care of it, and he refused to agree if it was too far away. If there is anything far away, he should send a reliable person to take care of it and give him some tea every year. The benefits are not enough, it is great to have a tea garden at home, as long as it is still raining, the supply of goods will never be cut off.

The person Duan Jintang sent over was Lao He. Lao He was the head of their Duan family's tea shop. He had worked in their Duan family for many years. Now that he was old, his family happened to be from Anhui. Give him a pension and ask him to help take care of the tea garden over there. The tea garden is leased to tea farmers, and he signs a contract with Duan Jintang every season. He gave all the hard-earned money. He is stingy, but here is fair. He knows how the money is earned. He doesn't have a long-term vision, but he has figured out this small business in his own family.

Duan Jintang thought that he could do it without relying on the power of any warlords. However, the current situation is not always calm. On this day, Duan Jintang finally encountered trouble. Three tea shop stewards came and said that winter tea should have arrived I haven't come here yet, after so many days, I'm afraid I may have encountered trouble on the road.

Duan Jintang calmly asked: "Guisheng has always been in charge of serving the tea, and he should not have made any mistakes after so many years." Steward Wang sighed: "That's why I'm worried, my son, thanks to the master for seeing Since then, he has been doing his best all these years, and he has hardly made any mistakes. He came back in a few days for the last autumn tea, but this time he hasn't come back for half a month, and he hasn't even hung up on the phone."

Duan Jintang heard him say that it had been half a month and stood up. He was walking up and down the hall with his hands behind his back. A few managers were sitting on the comfortable sofa at a loss. The sofa was a bit soft. They were used to hard wood. I'm really not used to it.Many people in charge come to Duan's house. Their master likes to be at home, but they are still not used to such a western-style room no matter how many times they come. It is obvious that Duan's house used to look very bookish, but now it is so western-style, with a sofa and coffee table. , a gorgeous chandelier, a thick carpet, and the piece under the coffee table is still white and fluffy. The several managers in uniform shrank their feet and hands for fear of getting dirty by him.

Duan Jintang stopped after turning around a few times: "I want to go to Anhui in person." Steward Wang said aloud and reacted: "Master, the journey is long, this..." Duan Jintang seldom travels far, and besides, this is not a big deal. Knowing the situation and not knowing what's going on over there, how dare you let him go rashly.Duan Jintang shook his head, he is going, the tea garden is his lifeblood.

Several stewards finally came to a conclusion. Steward Wang followed Duan Jintang and took two smart fellows with him, and headed south together.

Before going south, Duan Jintang didn't wait for Ye Shaojun to come, and he couldn't lower his head to look for him. If he told him that something happened to the tea shop, he would laugh at him even more. Duan Jintang gritted his teeth and got on the train very quickly. Jintang had already left. When Ye Shaojun heard that he was going to Anhui, he jumped up immediately: "Housekeeper, how can I let him go! He has never been out before!"

Seeing him, the old housekeeper sighed eagerly: "Master, you are in a hurry." Ye Shaojun was even more anxious when he figured out the ins and outs: "He goes to Anhui, and the train route will pass by the warlord of the Yan family. That place is in a state of chaos! Really, why didn't he Discuss with me!" Ye Shaojun spun around angrily, he was particularly worried about his uncle, who grew up like this and is a young master, and there are robbers everywhere outside, what a good thing!

Ye Shaojun immediately wanted to chase his train, but the old housekeeper couldn't help but laugh: "Master nephew, master has been walking for a day, and I can't catch up. How can these four-wheeled trains outperform countless ones?" Ye Shaojun listened to him. The analogy is also dumbfounding, the train and the car can still be compared in this way.

Ye Shaojun didn't make it in the end, so he was anxious for a while at the beginning, and he recovered after he was anxious. He thought again, how could he be robbed when he was so big? Who would snatch his bad temper? The most important thing is that there are three people around him, so it should be fine. Ye Shaojun felt that he wanted to go to the tea shop while his uncle was not at home, and it was meaningless for him to be here.

Duan Jintang's road was not smooth. To go to Anhui, he had to pass through the junction of Feng's warlords and Yan's warlords. Every station was searched rigorously, especially the stations in Tianjin and Shandong. Holding a gun is also really scary. Although Duan Jintang had expected it, he didn't expect such trouble. Fortunately, he was sitting in the VIP room.What he held in his hand was the certificate of supervision brought by the shopkeeper Wang. The soldiers saw that he was sent by Hu Dutong, so they didn't search him to salute him. It seems that he is also a well-known businessman. It is scary to have soldiers in this era. , Those who have money can enjoy happiness.

Duan Jintang was drinking tea and looking at the account book. He had to calm himself down. Seeing so many officers and soldiers, he was also a little scared. Steward Wang couldn't sit still and walked around in his box. Duan Jintang glanced at him : "Steward Wang, sit down." Steward Wang rubbed his hands together: "My lord, something happened outside, why are there so many officers and soldiers? It's not yet Xuanzhou, so it's so troublesome, but Don't let anything happen."

Duan Jintang lifted the curtain and looked outside. He had arrived in Qingdao. There were more officers and soldiers on the platform. It was winter now, and there was a layer of snowflakes floating outside. Under the dim light, two rows of soldiers were carrying guns on their backs, looking at each other. They are all straight, and the thin military uniform looks like they are not afraid of the cold. Duan Jintang feels uncomfortable looking at the bleak outside. He tried his best to think about the good. Much, he couldn't get away.

Duan Jintang also comforted Wang Guanshi in the same way, and Wang Guanshi sighed: "That's the only way to go. I asked Xiao Liang and Xiao Liu to go outside to find out, and they should be back soon."

The two guys were cleverly selected by Duan Jintang, and they came back soon after inquiring. It turned out that they were looking for someone. The search was so strict that they were looking for someone. All checkpoints were blocked, and the investigation was rigorous. Duan Jintang heard the news He let out a sigh of relief, it turned out to be like this, then his tea should be fine.Guanshi Wang also breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at this battle, I don't know who is looking for an important person. His son can't handle so many officers and soldiers.
