squeamish bag [rebirth]
Chapter 93
Lou Wen sneered and stared at him: "Don't forget, you are a servant of my Lou family, and you have to do whatever I tell you to do. If you are disobedient, what will happen to the disobedient servant? Did I say?"
"Master..." When the servant heard this, he knelt down trembling all over.
Seeing his useless appearance, Lou Wen's eyes became more and more contemptuous, and he snorted angrily: "As long as you handle this matter carefully, no one will find out about you. , you have the young master on top of me, so what are you afraid of?"
The servants didn't dare to disobey the Lou Wen, so they could only accept it as a fluke, "Then, then I will find someone to do it right away!"
"Go!"
An invisible crisis is slowly multiplying.
Yan Qinghe didn't know anything about it, he was busy developing his new business.
In the past few days, he has traveled all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and found a new business opportunity. Although the population of the capital is dense, the arable land is very poor. The food and medicinal materials in the city are almost all brought in from outside. of--
With an idea in his mind, he immediately began to make detailed plans.
This era is not as convenient and developed as it used to be. There is no network communication, and market research depends on a pair of legs. For the time being, he can't travel too far. He just wanders around the outskirts of the capital and asks about the prices of various grains.
Go out to do market research during the day, and come back to write a plan at night.
Lou Jing looked at Yan Qinghe who was busy under the light, and felt a little distressed, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
"Well, I'll go to bed later, I'll finish this first." Yan Qinghe rubbed his eyes while writing and drawing on the paper, and touched his stomach from time to time.
Lou Jing noticed his small movements, smiled and shook his head, he didn't bother Yan Qinghe much, just turned around and left silently.
After a long time, he came back with a bowl of noodles.
As Yan Qinghe was writing, a faint scent suddenly wafted from his nostrils. He raised his head subconsciously, and saw Lou Jing approaching with a bowl of noodles, "For me?"
He asked knowingly.
Lou Jing responded softly, "We'll be busy after eating."
"Yeah!" Yan Qinghe nodded, happily took the noodles and started eating.
While eating, he looked at the building view openly and aboveboard.
The more he looked at the building view, the more he liked it.
Why is the building view so good!
Whatever he wants to do, he will personally support him.
What he lacks, he is always the first to deliver.
……
This meticulous care and support made Yan Qinghe deeply addicted to it.
After he finished eating the noodles, Lou Jing put away the bowl and left, and came back after a while, sitting silently beside Yan Qinghe.
Yan Qinghe was worried that Lou Jing would be bored, so while writing the plan, he shared his thoughts with Lou Jing, Lou Jing occasionally nodded, and occasionally gave Yan Qinghe some advice——
The night is getting darker, but the love is getting stronger.
Yan Qinghe's plan was quickly completed, and when he was about to flex his muscles, something happened to the firm suddenly.
Overnight, rumors about the unlucky three-piece warm suit of Dayan Trading Company became widely known in the capital, and the business and reputation of Dayan Trading Company plummeted in an instant, sinking to the bottom of the valley.
As soon as this incident happened, almost no customers came in at Dayan Commercial Firm, but Yan Qinghe didn't react at all. When he was using Hongxiufang, he had already expected such a day.
On the other hand, Pang Xie, angry and impatient, wandered around in the store analyzing the source of the rumors: "We are the only ones who know about our cooperation with Hongxiufang. If we don't investigate, no one will know! No one can eat enough Are you going to investigate this? This must be a conspiracy!"
"Someone must be jealous of our good business and jealous of our large number of customers, so they want to make trouble!"
"What should we do now? People outside say that our things are unlucky and bad luck, and there are no customers here!"
"Or, let's suspend our cooperation with Hongxiufang and find a new one..." Pang Xie couldn't help discussing with Yan Qinghe.
Yan Qinghe subconsciously refused: "The embroidery in Hongxiufang is very exquisite, and the handwork is also good. We have no reason to change them!"
"But they are widows..." Pang Xie muttered subconsciously.
Yan Qinghe heard the words, subconsciously gave Pang Xie a look, and said sternly: "Your idea is wrong! If people can control the fate of others, who would like to lose their dearest and most loved ones? It was not caused by them, it was caused by natural disasters, man-made disasters, diseases and accidents. They lost their husbands and losers, and their families lost their pillars. Fate was unfair and cruel enough to them. What right do you have to despise them and think they are unlucky and unlucky?"
When Pang Xie, one of the bystanders, heard this, his face flushed instantly.
Yes, if people can control the fate of others, who wants to lose their dearest and most loved ones!
Like Fatty, he wasn't orphaned by choice.
The fate of the embroidered mothers in Hongxiufang is bad enough, but he actually wanted to replace them just now——
Pang Xie deeply realized his mistake, he couldn't even lift his head in shame, "It's my fault!"
"Just don't think about it again in the future!" Yan Qinghe could see that Pang Xie had no evil intentions, but he was born in such an era and was influenced by this era to have such thoughts.
When the two hadn't discussed a solution, Chunniang from Hongxiufang suddenly came.
The rumors were a big deal, so she naturally heard about it. On the one hand, she was worried that Dayan Trading Company would refuse to use Hongxiufang, and on the other hand, she felt that even if Dayan Trading Company did this, it was only natural.
After all, businessmen seek profit.
When Chunniang arrived at Dayan Commercial House, there was no one in the shop, it was deserted and very quiet.
She tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and a wry smile flashed in her eyes.
It seems that this business is really done!
Chunniang took a deep breath, she found Yan Qinghe, and explained her intention: "Mr. Yan, Mr. Pang, I have heard all the rumors, and I also know that you have suffered losses because of our Hongxiufang, so I am here today. I want to give this back to you!"
As Chunniang said, she put a piece of paper on the table.
Yan Qinghe and Pang Xie were shocked when they saw it. It was actually a contract signed by them.
"What do you mean?" Yan Qinghe asked Chunniang in confusion.
Chun Niang lowered her head to hide her wry smile, and said in a flat tone: "Our Red Show Square has a bad reputation, which has affected your business and reputation. If you don't want to cooperate, the previous contract can be voided, and you don't need to pay any compensation!"
Yan Qinghe heard the words, his eyes fell on the contract.
According to the contract, they entrusted Hongxiufang to make three batches of goods in total. Currently, only two batches have been shipped, and there is still a batch left——
Originally, he planned to sign a long-term contract with Hongxiufang after the last batch of goods came out, but he didn't expect this to happen halfway!
Yan Qinghe didn't speak, he just looked at Pang Xie and said, "You decide."
"Me?" Pang Xie was taken aback, "I can't..."
"You are the other boss of Dayan Commercial Bank, and you also have the right to make decisions. I don't care about this matter, you are fully responsible!" Yan Qinghe stood up, turned and left.
Pang Xie: "..."
He really didn't care! ! !
Pang Xie stared blankly at Yan Qinghe's back, and didn't speak for a long while.
"Master Pang?" Until Chunniang called him.
Pang Xie came back to his senses, he looked at Chun Niang embarrassingly, "Ah, this..."
He opened and closed his mouth for a long time, but he didn't know what to say.
Oh, what the hell is going on with this Yan Qinghe? How can you leave such an important matter to yourself?I don't understand anything, I have no experience at all, I'm sure I can't...
The more anxious Pang Xie became, the more speechless he became.
Chun Niang only thought that his hesitation was embarrassing, she smiled immediately, "Young Master Pang, you don't have to be too polite, I understand the difficulties of Dayan Trading Company, it makes sense that you don't need us—"
"I didn't say I don't need you!" Pang Xie immediately expressed his position when he heard this: "We will not take back this contract. The quality of your embroidery and workmanship is very good, and the price is more reasonable than other Xiufang. There are many, we have no reason not to use you! Of course, if your quality can be maintained, we will hand over all the follow-up goods to you!"
"But, we are all widows..." Chun Niang couldn't help reminding Pang Xie.
Pang Xie said disapprovingly, "What's wrong with widows? You didn't become widows because you wanted to be widows! Birth, old age, sickness and death are commonplace in the world. No one knows when they are going to die. What does this have to do with you!"
"Those who say you are unlucky and unlucky, their thinking is wrong!"
"You don't cheat, and rely on your own hands and labor to earn money to support your family, so it's unlucky, it's unlucky..." Pang Xie said what Yan Qinghe taught him without hesitation.
He didn't just talk about it, he thought so in his heart.
As Chunniang listened, her eyes gradually turned red.
No one had ever said anything like that to her.
Others would only say that she was hard-fated and killed her husband-in-law.
Or, she is a broom star, and no one who gets close to her will end well.
or...
The more Chunniang thought about it, the more sad she became, her tears kept flowing.
When Pang Xie saw Chunniang crying suddenly, he panicked, "I, did I say something wrong? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me if I said something wrong..."
Seeing him like this, Chunniang laughed through her tears. She wiped away her tears and said with a look of embarrassment: "You didn't say anything wrong, I just remembered some old things for a while."
Maybe it was because Pang Xie's words narrowed the distance between the two of them, Chunniang talked a lot to Pang Xie one after another.
For example, her husband is a small soldier who once guarded the city gate, and later went to the border with the army to quell the chaos, but he never came back after this trip. son, just started to embroider——
When Pang Xie first listened, he still felt a little emotional, but when he heard the latter, he suddenly had an idea.
He seems to have a solution to the rumors!
Pang Xie took the opportunity to ask Chunniang about the experiences of other embroiderers in Hongxiufang. Chunniang didn't know why, but she still told everything she knew.
"I have a solution!" Pang Xie suddenly shouted.
Chun Niang was stunned.
Pang Xie knew that he had lost his composure. He coughed dryly and said some polite words, then returned the contract to Chunniang, and sent Chunniang away. Immediately afterwards, he found Yan Qinghe and said excitedly, "I have a way to solve these problems." Gossip!"
Yan Qinghe also had a headache about the rumors. He didn't plan to change Hongxiufang, but he hadn't figured out how to solve the rumors.
Hearing what Pang Xie said, he immediately asked curiously, "What way?"
Pang Xie said with a mysterious expression: "I'll ask someone to make preparations first, and I'll tell you when everything is ready."
As he spoke, he rushed out excitedly without waiting for Yan Qinghe to speak.
Yan Qinghe: "..."
So, since you are not going to tell him, why do you want to start it?
Yan Qinghe shook his head helplessly, and continued to fall into deep thought.
After Pang Xie left the firm, he immediately went home and asked the housekeeper to investigate some matters for him.
The housekeeper didn't ask anything, and went to the household registration officer himself. After a long time, he came back with a stack of papers dripping with sweat.
Pang Xie took the paper and went out immediately.
For the next few days, Yan Qinghe didn't see Pang Xie, and didn't know what he was busy with.
As for the rumors, it has not subsided, and even intensified, but obviously, many people have no good impressions of Dayan Trading Company. Some people know that there is General Weiyuan behind Dayan Trading Company, and they dare not offend him publicly, but secretly they also do small tricks .
For example, when Yan Qinghe went to the store every morning, he could always see a few puddles of dust in front of the store.
At first, he thought that someone had deliberately dumped the ashes at the door, until one day when he saw the clerk cleaning up the ashes, there was unburned cloth in the ashes——
Isn't that picture color the picture color of my own warm three-piece suit!
It seems that these ashes were not deliberately obtained from other places by others, but were burned directly at his door by others.
It stands to reason that this is a matter of both money and goods. When others buy things back, they can do what they want to do with them, burn them if they like, but if they have to burn them at the door of the store, Yan Qinghe is very reluctant.
On the same day, Yan Qinghe asked his clerks to put up a big-character poster at the entrance of Dayan Commercial Firm, which specifically stated: All products sold within one month, as long as they are brand new, can be returned.
As soon as the big-character poster was posted, Dayan Commercial Bank suddenly became lively.
Many people have come to return the goods.
Yan Qinghe sent out those guests who were obviously worn out. Those who were brand new seemed unused at first glance, and he refunded them without saying a word.
When the account was settled in the evening, the clerk looked pale and said hesitantly, "Boss, we didn't sell any of them today, and... we pushed more than 100 items!"
In other words, today they didn't make a penny, and retreated more than 500 taels.
Yan Qinghe listened, and it took a long time before he said: "Business will get better."
Will business really pick up?
Yan Qinghe knew very well that in order to improve the business, the rumors outside must be resolved first——
It's just that the group of stubborn old feudalism he faced was not easy to deal with!
For several days in a row, many people came to Dayan Commercial Bank, all of whom came to return the goods. Seeing that all the money they had finally earned were all withdrawn, Yan Qinghe was anxious, but he couldn't think of it. What a good way to do it.
Lou Jing saw Yan Qinghe's anxiety in his eyes, and he tried to suppress the rumors several times, but Yan Qinghe refused.
The suppression will indeed make the common people dare not talk about rumors, but it will definitely affect the reputation of General Lou Jing Weiyuan - Lou Jing has already helped him a lot, and he cannot let his reputation be damaged by his own affairs.
Even if the store doesn't open, he can't hold Lou Jing back!
Way, way, he has to figure out a way to solve this matter quickly.
At this moment, Pang Xie finally came to the store, with a cheerful face, and with a stack of papers in his hand, he entered excitedly.
When Yan Qinghe saw him, he didn't regain his energy. He asked wearily, "I haven't seen you these few days. Where have you been?"
"Didn't I say that I thought of a way to solve these rumors? I've been busy with this for a while!" Pang Xie said while handing the stack of papers to Yan Qinghe, "Here, take a look at this."
Yan Qinghe picked it up for unknown reasons, and saw the word Chunniang at the front of it.
He suppressed his doubts and continued to look down.
This first piece of paper is Chunniang's experience for most of her life, from getting married to losing her husband——
The second piece of paper is the experience of another woman for most of her life.
……
Yan Qinghe read it one by one, and at the end, it was not anyone's life experience, but a love letter similar to a love letter that was moved with emotion and understood with reason.
Yan Qinghe faintly guessed what Pang Xie wanted to do.
but--
He tapped the stack of papers and asked: "The people on this paper are all embroiderers from Hongxiufang?"
Pang Xie: "Yes!"
"You write these and plan to publish them, do they agree?" Yan Qinghe asked again.
Pang Xie nodded, and said with a serious face: "These experiences were told to me by each of them. Before asking them about their experiences, I had already told them my plan, and they agreed!"
Yan Qinghe felt relieved.
If the parties agree, then they have nothing to worry about.
Next, Yan Qinghe discussed with Pang Xie the method of announcement.
Pang Xie had already had an idea, and he said with anticipation: "We can ask General Lou to hand over this letter of love to the emperor. If the emperor is moved, he will definitely do something. At that time, whether it is rumors or other widows , there are only advantages and no disadvantages.”
"This..." Handing the letter of love to the emperor is indeed the best way, but if the emperor doesn't move, what if he becomes angry from embarrassment?At that time, will the scene of the building where the love letter is handed in be affected?
Yan Qinghe hesitated.
Seeing that he was silent, Pang Xie hurriedly asked, "Are you afraid that General Lou won't agree? It's okay, I'll go tell General Lou!"
"I'm not afraid that Lou Jing won't agree..." But Lou Jing will definitely do whatever is good to him, Yan Qinghe said hesitantly: "I'm worried that the emperor will read this petition, not only not Moved, but turned into anger from embarrassment, when the time comes, Lou Jing will be blamed."
"Probably not, my father said that the emperor is a good listener to advice, and General Lou has made great military achievements. Even if the emperor is really angry, he will not blame him... Big deal, big deal, I will go to see the emperor when the time comes, just say I wrote all this!" Pang Xie patted his chest with a majestic expression.
Yan Qinghe was dumbfounded by him.
This is the best way after all, Yan Qinghe and Pang Xieyi made up their minds, and they planned to discuss it with Lou Jing after he came back.
So, as soon as Lou Jing came back, he bumped into two pairs of shiny black eyes.
He walked to Yan Qinghe and sat down beside Yan Qinghe calmly, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Yan Qinghe opened his mouth, but the words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them.
Seeing this, Pang Xie could only take the initiative, "General Lou, we have something to ask you, but I don't know if it's convenient for you..."
Lou Jing looked at Pang Xie, and said concisely: "Say."
"It's like this..." Pang Xie said his plan again. He was worried that Lou Jing would think that Yan Qinghe would not know how to advance or retreat because of his friendship, and he emphasized: "This is all my plan. It's causing trouble, so I don't really want to tell you..."
"General Lou, if you think this is troublesome and it's inconvenient for you to do it, then I'll think of another way..." Pang Xie had already prepared for the worst.
At worst, he stalked his father and asked his father to help pass it on.
If his father refused to help, he would try every means to see the emperor——
Just as Pang Xie was thinking about it, his hand suddenly lightened, and Lou Jing took the stack of papers in his hand and read them carefully.
a long time passed.
Lou Jing had already glanced at it roughly. He looked at Yan Qinghe and said, "This letter of love is very good, but it is not appropriate to hand it over to the emperor directly. I will present it to the queen first."
Women are most likely to sympathize with women. If the empress is moved, then she is the most suitable candidate for the emperor.
Suddenly, Pang Xie was overjoyed, "What General Lou said is very true, then there will be General Lou Lou!"
Yan Qinghe was worried: "It really won't affect you?"
"Don't worry, it won't affect me!"
Despite Lou Jing's comfort, Yan Qinghe was still very worried.
In the evening, he talked with Lou Jing Bingzhuye for a long time, Lou Jing had no choice but to smile bitterly, "Are you so unconfident in me?"
"It's not that I don't have confidence in you, I'm just worried about you..." Yan Qinghe said with a worried look on his face, "If this matter will affect you, I'd rather do nothing, even close Dayan Commercial Bank..."
"Heh..." Lou Jing suddenly laughed lowly, he couldn't help hugging Yan Qinghe, and said, "You care about me that much? I'm more important than Dayan Trading Company?"
When Yan Qinghe heard his analogy, he immediately rolled his eyes angrily, "Dayan Trading Company is nothing but a dead thing, if it is closed, it will be closed. How can you compare Dayan Trading Company to you!"
Lou Jing laughed again.
During this period of time, Yan Qinghe put all his energy on Dayan Commercial Bank, and Lou Jing was also worried that his position was precarious and very unstable.
Hearing what Yan Qinghe said, he instantly felt that his position was as stable as Mount Tai.
Lou Jing tightened his hands around Yan Qinghe's waist, and he made a firm promise: "You really don't have to worry, it's just a letter of love, even if the emperor is furious, I won't be involved."
"Really?"
"real!"
Seeing Lou Jing's determined appearance, Yan Qinghe finally believed him, but even so, he was still a little queasy.
In such apprehension, Lou Jing handed the love letter to the queen through the female officer in the palace.
When the queen looked at the experience of the king in the embroidered mother of Hongxiufang, she didn't know how many times her eyes turned red. After reading the last sentence of the love letter, she couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Let's go, let's go to see the emperor." The queen tidied up her appearance, took the letter of love, and went to see the emperor.
The queen's personal nanny couldn't help persuading: "Your Majesty, think twice before acting, if the emperor sees this and becomes furious..."
"So what if you get angry? At most, it's just a few sentences to reprimand me, but if the emperor can feel something, to me, there are only benefits and no harm! Firstly, this move of my palace can be regarded as helping General Weiyuan." In the future, General Weiyuan will more or less sell the favor of the palace, and secondly... If the emperor is moved by this petition and promulgates some measures, then the prestige of the palace among the people will definitely be much greater."
These kinds of benefits are really too much for her!
The queen took a deep breath and repeated: "Let's go, go see the emperor."
Immediately, the queen went directly to see the emperor, and saw that the stack of love letters was handed over to the emperor.
After the emperor saw it, he didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing this, the queen felt a little uneasy, but she saw that the emperor didn't seem to be angry, so she said boldly: "Your Majesty, some of these women's husbands are soldiers who have dedicated themselves to the country and the country, and they can't even find their bones when they die, and some are lingering sick beds. There were those who could not be rescued by medicine and stones, and those who lived a hard life and died unexpectedly... They left, and the whole family relied on women to earn money to support their families. Let’s just say that the embroidered women of Hongxiufang, some of them almost lost their eyesight just to make money. blind……"
"They didn't commit any crimes, and they didn't despise themselves, but what they got in exchange was the disgust and taboo of others..." The queen's tone gradually became serious, "Don't talk about others, just talk about our soldiers, they are fighting for the country and society What happened to the horse leather shroud, in exchange for their own wife being criticized and bullied by others, how chilling they must be!"
When the emperor heard the back, his face became serious.
The queen knew that the emperor had listened to her own words, so she didn't say anything else, but left space for the emperor to think for himself.
It has to be said that the queen's words really touched the emperor's heart.
Let’s just talk about these women in Hongxiufang. They are all loyal to their husbands, and they also make money to take care of their elderly parents and raise their young children...
The husband died for the country, but the woman who is his wife has become an unknown woman in the eyes of others because of this, and has been bullied!
If things go on like this, will there still be soldiers who will serve the country wholeheartedly?
The more the emperor thought about it, the more serious his face became.
That night, he wrote an imperial decree, and in the morning of the next day, he promulgated the imperial decree in front of all civil and military officials.
The central content of the imperial decree is mainly about widows, to the effect that people in the world must not bully, argue, and avoid widows, and there is a ten-year tax exemption for steadfast widows. Among them, the embroidered mothers of Hongxiufang are used as an example to praise them. For his conscientious and industrious virtues, he also praised Dayan Trading Company in particular. When everyone was jealous of Hongxiufang, Dayan Trading Company threw out an olive branch.
This imperial decree was harmless, and the officials had no reason to stop it. Soon, this imperial decree was announced and posted all over the streets and alleys.
When he retired, the emperor left the building alone and called him to the study.
"You gave this thing to the queen, right?" The emperor pointed to the pile of love letters with a half-smile.
Lou Jing was not surprised that the emperor could guess this, he said truthfully: "It was presented to the empress."
"I heard that when Dayan Trading Co., Ltd. opened, you gave a golden signboard with your own nomination?" The emperor said with interest, "Are you presenting this out of selfishness, for Dayan Trading Co., or for those widow?"
Lou Jing knelt down without thinking, and said without changing his face, "It's out of selfishness, and it's also for those widows!"
The emperor stared at the view of the building for a long time, making sure he was telling the truth, and then told him to get up.
"Okay, I didn't ask you to come here because I was just curious... You said that you have never been selfish for anyone, even if the Lou family begged you, you have never been soft-hearted! This time, you I am very curious about your relationship with the boss of Dayan Trading Company." The emperor stared at the building with interest.
The emperor could investigate these matters, but he didn't. Instead, he asked Lou Jing directly.
Firstly, it was out of his trust in Lou Jing, he believed that Lou Jing would never do anything that would harm his country.
Secondly, he is really curious about who can make Lou Jing so interested, and what is the relationship between that person and Lou Jing.
Lou Jing naturally knew what the emperor was thinking. He was silent for a moment without hiding anything, and said bluntly, "The boss of Dayan Trading Company is called Yan Qing, and he is the minister's husband."
As soon as the word "Xianggong" came out, the emperor's body tilted and he almost fell to the ground.
"You, you, you... Are you married? Or with a man?" The emperor stared in astonishment, the eyeballs were about to fall out.
Lou Jing responded in a low voice.
The emperor was silent for a long time, full of regrets, sighs, and disbelief.
Lou Jing is actually married!
Lou Jing actually married a man!
"I still plan to give you a marriage..." the emperor said with regret.
Lou Jing subconsciously refused, "I only need Yan Qing alone."
The implication is that no one is wanted except Yan Qinghe.
The emperor was surprised, "The heir..."
"I'm not the only one with the surname Lou, and it's not up to me to carry on the family line!" Lou Jing spoke decisively with a firm expression on his face.
The emperor couldn't help but sigh.
A person like Lou Jing actually fell in love with a man...
While sighing, the emperor couldn't help being curious about Yan Qinghe, who is this Yan Qinghe who can make Lou Jing so determined that even his heirs can give up——
The emperor squinted his eyes, looked at Lou Jing and said, "If there is a chance, I would like to meet this Yan Qing."
When Lou Jing heard this, the hands beside him tightened.
The emperor noticed his small movements, and couldn't help explaining with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to him, I'm just curious about what kind of person he is."
Lou Jing said seriously: "He is a very good person!"
The emperor who was forced to eat dog food: "..."
The imperial decree issued by the emperor was soon posted all over the streets and alleys, causing a sensation.
If other people said these things and praised the widow, most of the common people would scold them, but this was said by the popular emperor and the empress. The common people felt that the emperor was kind and tolerant, and the empress was virtuous and virtuous.
For a time, most people's impression of widows has changed a lot.
In the past, those who followed the trend and hated and insulted widows even brought gifts to apologize——
In the imperial decree, the emperor specifically mentioned the embroidered lady of Hongxiufang and Dayan Trading Company, and because of this, the embroidered lady of Hongxiufang was on the rise, and there was an endless stream of people who came to cooperate.As for Dayan Commercial Bank, it quickly returned to its former glory, and its business became more and more prosperous.
The crisis was so narrowly escaped.
Yan Qinghe couldn't help but praise Pang Xie, "I didn't expect you to do a good job in crisis public relations!"
Pang Xie could tell that Yan Qinghe was praising himself, but——
"What is crisis public relations?" Pang Xie, the curious baby, asked.
Yan Qinghe patiently explained the meaning of crisis public relations to Pang Xie, and then praised him in all kinds of rainbow farts.
"Actually, I'm not as powerful as you said..." Pang Xie rubbed the back of his head shyly, "This is a mistake, I'm really not as powerful as you said."
Yan Qinghe twitched the corners of his mouth, "Don't be modest!"
To be able to come up with such a good solution in such a short period of time, and to completely change Dayan Trading Company and Hongxiufang, and even the fate of the widow, Pang Xie's ability is really good.
However, Pang Xie waved his hand and said, "I'm not humble. I didn't like reading when I was young. The gentlemen didn't say anything on the surface, but they said behind my back that I couldn't support the wall. And my father, although he didn't say anything about me What, but every time he looks at me, there is something ineffective—"
It was supposed to be a very happy moment, but when Pang Xie mentioned these things, he felt very depressed.
Pang Xie lowered his head and said dejectedly, "I'm actually quite useless."
Yan Qinghe: "..."
It turns out that this child is really not humble, but inferior!
As soon as he noticed that Pang Xie had a tendency to feel inferior, Yan Qinghe immediately paid attention to it, and said with a straight face: "You are too arrogant, you are useless, you are obviously very useful!"
"You found all our storefronts and warehouses, right?"
"Our cloth merchants and accessories merchants are all negotiated by you, right?"
"And this crisis, most of the credit is on you!"
"You see that you have done so much and done so well, why do you think you are useless?!" Yan Qinghe looked at Pang Xie in disbelief.
Pang Xie had previously felt that he had done nothing, and that Yan Qinghe was the one who set up the Dayan Trading Company. Thinking of sharing the profits, he still felt that the money was hot, and he wanted to find a reason to reject the money. Said, he was stunned immediately, "I did all these?"
Yan Qinghe nodded, affirming: "You did all of this!"
Unknowingly, he did so many things?
Pang Xie couldn't believe it, but when he thought about it carefully, he really did these things himself.
It's just that things are too complicated and fragmented, and he has never paid attention to them.
After Yan Qinghe said this, his confidence that had been drilled into the soil suddenly sprouted a little bud.
"I seem to be quite useful..." Pang Xie said to himself with a silly smile.
Yan Qinghe patted him on the shoulder, affirming: "You are not only useful, you are capable! Very capable!!!"
With Yan Qinghe's affirmation, when Pang Xie came home, he was a little bit swaying when he walked, and he would giggle from time to time.
Seeing him like this, Pang Huan unconsciously thought of Yan Qinghe.
Thinking about Yan Qinghe's age and deeds, and then looking at his own son, Pang Huanqi didn't hit the same place.
"You went to Dayan Commercial Firm again today?" Pang Huan called Pang Xie to stop him.
Pang Xie couldn't wait to share his joy with Pang Huan, "Yes, I went to Dayan Commercial Firm today. Dad, do you know? The emperor praised our firm, and that..."
Pang Xie was about to say that he prepared the love letter, but was interrupted by Pang Huan, "Every day you go to Dayan Commercial Firm without doing business. When will you make progress? Can you do something serious?"
"I went to Dayan Commercial Bank to do a serious business, these few days I..."
"Okay, okay, you don't need to say anything. The Dayan Commercial Firm was run by Yan Qinghe. What does it have to do with you? You just paid for it! Don't go to the Dayan Commercial Firm tomorrow, come with me Officials, I'll find you an errand!"
Being denied by his father, Pang Xie tried to explain several times but was interrupted by his father, and when he heard his father's last words, he was immediately a little annoyed, "I'm not going! Didn't I tell you? I won't go!" I like those things in the court..."
"Don't like it? It's a job that others can't ask for. If it weren't for your father, I would be a minister of the official department. If you want to work for someone else, don't you want it? Don't you like it? I don't care if you like it or not, you have to go to the official department with me tomorrow! "
"I won't go!" Pang Xie resolutely refused to go.
With a dark face, Pang Huan said angrily: "If you don't go, don't stay in this house!"
"If you don't wait, don't wait, you think I'm a rarity!" Pang Xie was so angry that he turned around and left.
"Master..."
The butler wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Pang Huan, "Don't stop him, I want to see what he can do outside this house!"
When Pang Huan spoke, he deliberately amplified his voice in order to scare Pang Xie and make him change his mind.
Who knew that when Pang Xie heard these words, his steps of leaving became bigger and bigger. In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of Pang's mansion.
Pang Huan: "..."
housekeeper:"……"
Really gone?It's really long-boned!
Pang Huan was so angry that he looked at the housekeeper angrily: "Why didn't you stop him from ordering? Where can he go in the middle of the night?"
The butler looked aggrieved, spread his hands and said, "I always wanted to
"Master..." When the servant heard this, he knelt down trembling all over.
Seeing his useless appearance, Lou Wen's eyes became more and more contemptuous, and he snorted angrily: "As long as you handle this matter carefully, no one will find out about you. , you have the young master on top of me, so what are you afraid of?"
The servants didn't dare to disobey the Lou Wen, so they could only accept it as a fluke, "Then, then I will find someone to do it right away!"
"Go!"
An invisible crisis is slowly multiplying.
Yan Qinghe didn't know anything about it, he was busy developing his new business.
In the past few days, he has traveled all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and found a new business opportunity. Although the population of the capital is dense, the arable land is very poor. The food and medicinal materials in the city are almost all brought in from outside. of--
With an idea in his mind, he immediately began to make detailed plans.
This era is not as convenient and developed as it used to be. There is no network communication, and market research depends on a pair of legs. For the time being, he can't travel too far. He just wanders around the outskirts of the capital and asks about the prices of various grains.
Go out to do market research during the day, and come back to write a plan at night.
Lou Jing looked at Yan Qinghe who was busy under the light, and felt a little distressed, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
"Well, I'll go to bed later, I'll finish this first." Yan Qinghe rubbed his eyes while writing and drawing on the paper, and touched his stomach from time to time.
Lou Jing noticed his small movements, smiled and shook his head, he didn't bother Yan Qinghe much, just turned around and left silently.
After a long time, he came back with a bowl of noodles.
As Yan Qinghe was writing, a faint scent suddenly wafted from his nostrils. He raised his head subconsciously, and saw Lou Jing approaching with a bowl of noodles, "For me?"
He asked knowingly.
Lou Jing responded softly, "We'll be busy after eating."
"Yeah!" Yan Qinghe nodded, happily took the noodles and started eating.
While eating, he looked at the building view openly and aboveboard.
The more he looked at the building view, the more he liked it.
Why is the building view so good!
Whatever he wants to do, he will personally support him.
What he lacks, he is always the first to deliver.
……
This meticulous care and support made Yan Qinghe deeply addicted to it.
After he finished eating the noodles, Lou Jing put away the bowl and left, and came back after a while, sitting silently beside Yan Qinghe.
Yan Qinghe was worried that Lou Jing would be bored, so while writing the plan, he shared his thoughts with Lou Jing, Lou Jing occasionally nodded, and occasionally gave Yan Qinghe some advice——
The night is getting darker, but the love is getting stronger.
Yan Qinghe's plan was quickly completed, and when he was about to flex his muscles, something happened to the firm suddenly.
Overnight, rumors about the unlucky three-piece warm suit of Dayan Trading Company became widely known in the capital, and the business and reputation of Dayan Trading Company plummeted in an instant, sinking to the bottom of the valley.
As soon as this incident happened, almost no customers came in at Dayan Commercial Firm, but Yan Qinghe didn't react at all. When he was using Hongxiufang, he had already expected such a day.
On the other hand, Pang Xie, angry and impatient, wandered around in the store analyzing the source of the rumors: "We are the only ones who know about our cooperation with Hongxiufang. If we don't investigate, no one will know! No one can eat enough Are you going to investigate this? This must be a conspiracy!"
"Someone must be jealous of our good business and jealous of our large number of customers, so they want to make trouble!"
"What should we do now? People outside say that our things are unlucky and bad luck, and there are no customers here!"
"Or, let's suspend our cooperation with Hongxiufang and find a new one..." Pang Xie couldn't help discussing with Yan Qinghe.
Yan Qinghe subconsciously refused: "The embroidery in Hongxiufang is very exquisite, and the handwork is also good. We have no reason to change them!"
"But they are widows..." Pang Xie muttered subconsciously.
Yan Qinghe heard the words, subconsciously gave Pang Xie a look, and said sternly: "Your idea is wrong! If people can control the fate of others, who would like to lose their dearest and most loved ones? It was not caused by them, it was caused by natural disasters, man-made disasters, diseases and accidents. They lost their husbands and losers, and their families lost their pillars. Fate was unfair and cruel enough to them. What right do you have to despise them and think they are unlucky and unlucky?"
When Pang Xie, one of the bystanders, heard this, his face flushed instantly.
Yes, if people can control the fate of others, who wants to lose their dearest and most loved ones!
Like Fatty, he wasn't orphaned by choice.
The fate of the embroidered mothers in Hongxiufang is bad enough, but he actually wanted to replace them just now——
Pang Xie deeply realized his mistake, he couldn't even lift his head in shame, "It's my fault!"
"Just don't think about it again in the future!" Yan Qinghe could see that Pang Xie had no evil intentions, but he was born in such an era and was influenced by this era to have such thoughts.
When the two hadn't discussed a solution, Chunniang from Hongxiufang suddenly came.
The rumors were a big deal, so she naturally heard about it. On the one hand, she was worried that Dayan Trading Company would refuse to use Hongxiufang, and on the other hand, she felt that even if Dayan Trading Company did this, it was only natural.
After all, businessmen seek profit.
When Chunniang arrived at Dayan Commercial House, there was no one in the shop, it was deserted and very quiet.
She tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and a wry smile flashed in her eyes.
It seems that this business is really done!
Chunniang took a deep breath, she found Yan Qinghe, and explained her intention: "Mr. Yan, Mr. Pang, I have heard all the rumors, and I also know that you have suffered losses because of our Hongxiufang, so I am here today. I want to give this back to you!"
As Chunniang said, she put a piece of paper on the table.
Yan Qinghe and Pang Xie were shocked when they saw it. It was actually a contract signed by them.
"What do you mean?" Yan Qinghe asked Chunniang in confusion.
Chun Niang lowered her head to hide her wry smile, and said in a flat tone: "Our Red Show Square has a bad reputation, which has affected your business and reputation. If you don't want to cooperate, the previous contract can be voided, and you don't need to pay any compensation!"
Yan Qinghe heard the words, his eyes fell on the contract.
According to the contract, they entrusted Hongxiufang to make three batches of goods in total. Currently, only two batches have been shipped, and there is still a batch left——
Originally, he planned to sign a long-term contract with Hongxiufang after the last batch of goods came out, but he didn't expect this to happen halfway!
Yan Qinghe didn't speak, he just looked at Pang Xie and said, "You decide."
"Me?" Pang Xie was taken aback, "I can't..."
"You are the other boss of Dayan Commercial Bank, and you also have the right to make decisions. I don't care about this matter, you are fully responsible!" Yan Qinghe stood up, turned and left.
Pang Xie: "..."
He really didn't care! ! !
Pang Xie stared blankly at Yan Qinghe's back, and didn't speak for a long while.
"Master Pang?" Until Chunniang called him.
Pang Xie came back to his senses, he looked at Chun Niang embarrassingly, "Ah, this..."
He opened and closed his mouth for a long time, but he didn't know what to say.
Oh, what the hell is going on with this Yan Qinghe? How can you leave such an important matter to yourself?I don't understand anything, I have no experience at all, I'm sure I can't...
The more anxious Pang Xie became, the more speechless he became.
Chun Niang only thought that his hesitation was embarrassing, she smiled immediately, "Young Master Pang, you don't have to be too polite, I understand the difficulties of Dayan Trading Company, it makes sense that you don't need us—"
"I didn't say I don't need you!" Pang Xie immediately expressed his position when he heard this: "We will not take back this contract. The quality of your embroidery and workmanship is very good, and the price is more reasonable than other Xiufang. There are many, we have no reason not to use you! Of course, if your quality can be maintained, we will hand over all the follow-up goods to you!"
"But, we are all widows..." Chun Niang couldn't help reminding Pang Xie.
Pang Xie said disapprovingly, "What's wrong with widows? You didn't become widows because you wanted to be widows! Birth, old age, sickness and death are commonplace in the world. No one knows when they are going to die. What does this have to do with you!"
"Those who say you are unlucky and unlucky, their thinking is wrong!"
"You don't cheat, and rely on your own hands and labor to earn money to support your family, so it's unlucky, it's unlucky..." Pang Xie said what Yan Qinghe taught him without hesitation.
He didn't just talk about it, he thought so in his heart.
As Chunniang listened, her eyes gradually turned red.
No one had ever said anything like that to her.
Others would only say that she was hard-fated and killed her husband-in-law.
Or, she is a broom star, and no one who gets close to her will end well.
or...
The more Chunniang thought about it, the more sad she became, her tears kept flowing.
When Pang Xie saw Chunniang crying suddenly, he panicked, "I, did I say something wrong? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me if I said something wrong..."
Seeing him like this, Chunniang laughed through her tears. She wiped away her tears and said with a look of embarrassment: "You didn't say anything wrong, I just remembered some old things for a while."
Maybe it was because Pang Xie's words narrowed the distance between the two of them, Chunniang talked a lot to Pang Xie one after another.
For example, her husband is a small soldier who once guarded the city gate, and later went to the border with the army to quell the chaos, but he never came back after this trip. son, just started to embroider——
When Pang Xie first listened, he still felt a little emotional, but when he heard the latter, he suddenly had an idea.
He seems to have a solution to the rumors!
Pang Xie took the opportunity to ask Chunniang about the experiences of other embroiderers in Hongxiufang. Chunniang didn't know why, but she still told everything she knew.
"I have a solution!" Pang Xie suddenly shouted.
Chun Niang was stunned.
Pang Xie knew that he had lost his composure. He coughed dryly and said some polite words, then returned the contract to Chunniang, and sent Chunniang away. Immediately afterwards, he found Yan Qinghe and said excitedly, "I have a way to solve these problems." Gossip!"
Yan Qinghe also had a headache about the rumors. He didn't plan to change Hongxiufang, but he hadn't figured out how to solve the rumors.
Hearing what Pang Xie said, he immediately asked curiously, "What way?"
Pang Xie said with a mysterious expression: "I'll ask someone to make preparations first, and I'll tell you when everything is ready."
As he spoke, he rushed out excitedly without waiting for Yan Qinghe to speak.
Yan Qinghe: "..."
So, since you are not going to tell him, why do you want to start it?
Yan Qinghe shook his head helplessly, and continued to fall into deep thought.
After Pang Xie left the firm, he immediately went home and asked the housekeeper to investigate some matters for him.
The housekeeper didn't ask anything, and went to the household registration officer himself. After a long time, he came back with a stack of papers dripping with sweat.
Pang Xie took the paper and went out immediately.
For the next few days, Yan Qinghe didn't see Pang Xie, and didn't know what he was busy with.
As for the rumors, it has not subsided, and even intensified, but obviously, many people have no good impressions of Dayan Trading Company. Some people know that there is General Weiyuan behind Dayan Trading Company, and they dare not offend him publicly, but secretly they also do small tricks .
For example, when Yan Qinghe went to the store every morning, he could always see a few puddles of dust in front of the store.
At first, he thought that someone had deliberately dumped the ashes at the door, until one day when he saw the clerk cleaning up the ashes, there was unburned cloth in the ashes——
Isn't that picture color the picture color of my own warm three-piece suit!
It seems that these ashes were not deliberately obtained from other places by others, but were burned directly at his door by others.
It stands to reason that this is a matter of both money and goods. When others buy things back, they can do what they want to do with them, burn them if they like, but if they have to burn them at the door of the store, Yan Qinghe is very reluctant.
On the same day, Yan Qinghe asked his clerks to put up a big-character poster at the entrance of Dayan Commercial Firm, which specifically stated: All products sold within one month, as long as they are brand new, can be returned.
As soon as the big-character poster was posted, Dayan Commercial Bank suddenly became lively.
Many people have come to return the goods.
Yan Qinghe sent out those guests who were obviously worn out. Those who were brand new seemed unused at first glance, and he refunded them without saying a word.
When the account was settled in the evening, the clerk looked pale and said hesitantly, "Boss, we didn't sell any of them today, and... we pushed more than 100 items!"
In other words, today they didn't make a penny, and retreated more than 500 taels.
Yan Qinghe listened, and it took a long time before he said: "Business will get better."
Will business really pick up?
Yan Qinghe knew very well that in order to improve the business, the rumors outside must be resolved first——
It's just that the group of stubborn old feudalism he faced was not easy to deal with!
For several days in a row, many people came to Dayan Commercial Bank, all of whom came to return the goods. Seeing that all the money they had finally earned were all withdrawn, Yan Qinghe was anxious, but he couldn't think of it. What a good way to do it.
Lou Jing saw Yan Qinghe's anxiety in his eyes, and he tried to suppress the rumors several times, but Yan Qinghe refused.
The suppression will indeed make the common people dare not talk about rumors, but it will definitely affect the reputation of General Lou Jing Weiyuan - Lou Jing has already helped him a lot, and he cannot let his reputation be damaged by his own affairs.
Even if the store doesn't open, he can't hold Lou Jing back!
Way, way, he has to figure out a way to solve this matter quickly.
At this moment, Pang Xie finally came to the store, with a cheerful face, and with a stack of papers in his hand, he entered excitedly.
When Yan Qinghe saw him, he didn't regain his energy. He asked wearily, "I haven't seen you these few days. Where have you been?"
"Didn't I say that I thought of a way to solve these rumors? I've been busy with this for a while!" Pang Xie said while handing the stack of papers to Yan Qinghe, "Here, take a look at this."
Yan Qinghe picked it up for unknown reasons, and saw the word Chunniang at the front of it.
He suppressed his doubts and continued to look down.
This first piece of paper is Chunniang's experience for most of her life, from getting married to losing her husband——
The second piece of paper is the experience of another woman for most of her life.
……
Yan Qinghe read it one by one, and at the end, it was not anyone's life experience, but a love letter similar to a love letter that was moved with emotion and understood with reason.
Yan Qinghe faintly guessed what Pang Xie wanted to do.
but--
He tapped the stack of papers and asked: "The people on this paper are all embroiderers from Hongxiufang?"
Pang Xie: "Yes!"
"You write these and plan to publish them, do they agree?" Yan Qinghe asked again.
Pang Xie nodded, and said with a serious face: "These experiences were told to me by each of them. Before asking them about their experiences, I had already told them my plan, and they agreed!"
Yan Qinghe felt relieved.
If the parties agree, then they have nothing to worry about.
Next, Yan Qinghe discussed with Pang Xie the method of announcement.
Pang Xie had already had an idea, and he said with anticipation: "We can ask General Lou to hand over this letter of love to the emperor. If the emperor is moved, he will definitely do something. At that time, whether it is rumors or other widows , there are only advantages and no disadvantages.”
"This..." Handing the letter of love to the emperor is indeed the best way, but if the emperor doesn't move, what if he becomes angry from embarrassment?At that time, will the scene of the building where the love letter is handed in be affected?
Yan Qinghe hesitated.
Seeing that he was silent, Pang Xie hurriedly asked, "Are you afraid that General Lou won't agree? It's okay, I'll go tell General Lou!"
"I'm not afraid that Lou Jing won't agree..." But Lou Jing will definitely do whatever is good to him, Yan Qinghe said hesitantly: "I'm worried that the emperor will read this petition, not only not Moved, but turned into anger from embarrassment, when the time comes, Lou Jing will be blamed."
"Probably not, my father said that the emperor is a good listener to advice, and General Lou has made great military achievements. Even if the emperor is really angry, he will not blame him... Big deal, big deal, I will go to see the emperor when the time comes, just say I wrote all this!" Pang Xie patted his chest with a majestic expression.
Yan Qinghe was dumbfounded by him.
This is the best way after all, Yan Qinghe and Pang Xieyi made up their minds, and they planned to discuss it with Lou Jing after he came back.
So, as soon as Lou Jing came back, he bumped into two pairs of shiny black eyes.
He walked to Yan Qinghe and sat down beside Yan Qinghe calmly, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Yan Qinghe opened his mouth, but the words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them.
Seeing this, Pang Xie could only take the initiative, "General Lou, we have something to ask you, but I don't know if it's convenient for you..."
Lou Jing looked at Pang Xie, and said concisely: "Say."
"It's like this..." Pang Xie said his plan again. He was worried that Lou Jing would think that Yan Qinghe would not know how to advance or retreat because of his friendship, and he emphasized: "This is all my plan. It's causing trouble, so I don't really want to tell you..."
"General Lou, if you think this is troublesome and it's inconvenient for you to do it, then I'll think of another way..." Pang Xie had already prepared for the worst.
At worst, he stalked his father and asked his father to help pass it on.
If his father refused to help, he would try every means to see the emperor——
Just as Pang Xie was thinking about it, his hand suddenly lightened, and Lou Jing took the stack of papers in his hand and read them carefully.
a long time passed.
Lou Jing had already glanced at it roughly. He looked at Yan Qinghe and said, "This letter of love is very good, but it is not appropriate to hand it over to the emperor directly. I will present it to the queen first."
Women are most likely to sympathize with women. If the empress is moved, then she is the most suitable candidate for the emperor.
Suddenly, Pang Xie was overjoyed, "What General Lou said is very true, then there will be General Lou Lou!"
Yan Qinghe was worried: "It really won't affect you?"
"Don't worry, it won't affect me!"
Despite Lou Jing's comfort, Yan Qinghe was still very worried.
In the evening, he talked with Lou Jing Bingzhuye for a long time, Lou Jing had no choice but to smile bitterly, "Are you so unconfident in me?"
"It's not that I don't have confidence in you, I'm just worried about you..." Yan Qinghe said with a worried look on his face, "If this matter will affect you, I'd rather do nothing, even close Dayan Commercial Bank..."
"Heh..." Lou Jing suddenly laughed lowly, he couldn't help hugging Yan Qinghe, and said, "You care about me that much? I'm more important than Dayan Trading Company?"
When Yan Qinghe heard his analogy, he immediately rolled his eyes angrily, "Dayan Trading Company is nothing but a dead thing, if it is closed, it will be closed. How can you compare Dayan Trading Company to you!"
Lou Jing laughed again.
During this period of time, Yan Qinghe put all his energy on Dayan Commercial Bank, and Lou Jing was also worried that his position was precarious and very unstable.
Hearing what Yan Qinghe said, he instantly felt that his position was as stable as Mount Tai.
Lou Jing tightened his hands around Yan Qinghe's waist, and he made a firm promise: "You really don't have to worry, it's just a letter of love, even if the emperor is furious, I won't be involved."
"Really?"
"real!"
Seeing Lou Jing's determined appearance, Yan Qinghe finally believed him, but even so, he was still a little queasy.
In such apprehension, Lou Jing handed the love letter to the queen through the female officer in the palace.
When the queen looked at the experience of the king in the embroidered mother of Hongxiufang, she didn't know how many times her eyes turned red. After reading the last sentence of the love letter, she couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Let's go, let's go to see the emperor." The queen tidied up her appearance, took the letter of love, and went to see the emperor.
The queen's personal nanny couldn't help persuading: "Your Majesty, think twice before acting, if the emperor sees this and becomes furious..."
"So what if you get angry? At most, it's just a few sentences to reprimand me, but if the emperor can feel something, to me, there are only benefits and no harm! Firstly, this move of my palace can be regarded as helping General Weiyuan." In the future, General Weiyuan will more or less sell the favor of the palace, and secondly... If the emperor is moved by this petition and promulgates some measures, then the prestige of the palace among the people will definitely be much greater."
These kinds of benefits are really too much for her!
The queen took a deep breath and repeated: "Let's go, go see the emperor."
Immediately, the queen went directly to see the emperor, and saw that the stack of love letters was handed over to the emperor.
After the emperor saw it, he didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing this, the queen felt a little uneasy, but she saw that the emperor didn't seem to be angry, so she said boldly: "Your Majesty, some of these women's husbands are soldiers who have dedicated themselves to the country and the country, and they can't even find their bones when they die, and some are lingering sick beds. There were those who could not be rescued by medicine and stones, and those who lived a hard life and died unexpectedly... They left, and the whole family relied on women to earn money to support their families. Let’s just say that the embroidered women of Hongxiufang, some of them almost lost their eyesight just to make money. blind……"
"They didn't commit any crimes, and they didn't despise themselves, but what they got in exchange was the disgust and taboo of others..." The queen's tone gradually became serious, "Don't talk about others, just talk about our soldiers, they are fighting for the country and society What happened to the horse leather shroud, in exchange for their own wife being criticized and bullied by others, how chilling they must be!"
When the emperor heard the back, his face became serious.
The queen knew that the emperor had listened to her own words, so she didn't say anything else, but left space for the emperor to think for himself.
It has to be said that the queen's words really touched the emperor's heart.
Let’s just talk about these women in Hongxiufang. They are all loyal to their husbands, and they also make money to take care of their elderly parents and raise their young children...
The husband died for the country, but the woman who is his wife has become an unknown woman in the eyes of others because of this, and has been bullied!
If things go on like this, will there still be soldiers who will serve the country wholeheartedly?
The more the emperor thought about it, the more serious his face became.
That night, he wrote an imperial decree, and in the morning of the next day, he promulgated the imperial decree in front of all civil and military officials.
The central content of the imperial decree is mainly about widows, to the effect that people in the world must not bully, argue, and avoid widows, and there is a ten-year tax exemption for steadfast widows. Among them, the embroidered mothers of Hongxiufang are used as an example to praise them. For his conscientious and industrious virtues, he also praised Dayan Trading Company in particular. When everyone was jealous of Hongxiufang, Dayan Trading Company threw out an olive branch.
This imperial decree was harmless, and the officials had no reason to stop it. Soon, this imperial decree was announced and posted all over the streets and alleys.
When he retired, the emperor left the building alone and called him to the study.
"You gave this thing to the queen, right?" The emperor pointed to the pile of love letters with a half-smile.
Lou Jing was not surprised that the emperor could guess this, he said truthfully: "It was presented to the empress."
"I heard that when Dayan Trading Co., Ltd. opened, you gave a golden signboard with your own nomination?" The emperor said with interest, "Are you presenting this out of selfishness, for Dayan Trading Co., or for those widow?"
Lou Jing knelt down without thinking, and said without changing his face, "It's out of selfishness, and it's also for those widows!"
The emperor stared at the view of the building for a long time, making sure he was telling the truth, and then told him to get up.
"Okay, I didn't ask you to come here because I was just curious... You said that you have never been selfish for anyone, even if the Lou family begged you, you have never been soft-hearted! This time, you I am very curious about your relationship with the boss of Dayan Trading Company." The emperor stared at the building with interest.
The emperor could investigate these matters, but he didn't. Instead, he asked Lou Jing directly.
Firstly, it was out of his trust in Lou Jing, he believed that Lou Jing would never do anything that would harm his country.
Secondly, he is really curious about who can make Lou Jing so interested, and what is the relationship between that person and Lou Jing.
Lou Jing naturally knew what the emperor was thinking. He was silent for a moment without hiding anything, and said bluntly, "The boss of Dayan Trading Company is called Yan Qing, and he is the minister's husband."
As soon as the word "Xianggong" came out, the emperor's body tilted and he almost fell to the ground.
"You, you, you... Are you married? Or with a man?" The emperor stared in astonishment, the eyeballs were about to fall out.
Lou Jing responded in a low voice.
The emperor was silent for a long time, full of regrets, sighs, and disbelief.
Lou Jing is actually married!
Lou Jing actually married a man!
"I still plan to give you a marriage..." the emperor said with regret.
Lou Jing subconsciously refused, "I only need Yan Qing alone."
The implication is that no one is wanted except Yan Qinghe.
The emperor was surprised, "The heir..."
"I'm not the only one with the surname Lou, and it's not up to me to carry on the family line!" Lou Jing spoke decisively with a firm expression on his face.
The emperor couldn't help but sigh.
A person like Lou Jing actually fell in love with a man...
While sighing, the emperor couldn't help being curious about Yan Qinghe, who is this Yan Qinghe who can make Lou Jing so determined that even his heirs can give up——
The emperor squinted his eyes, looked at Lou Jing and said, "If there is a chance, I would like to meet this Yan Qing."
When Lou Jing heard this, the hands beside him tightened.
The emperor noticed his small movements, and couldn't help explaining with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to him, I'm just curious about what kind of person he is."
Lou Jing said seriously: "He is a very good person!"
The emperor who was forced to eat dog food: "..."
The imperial decree issued by the emperor was soon posted all over the streets and alleys, causing a sensation.
If other people said these things and praised the widow, most of the common people would scold them, but this was said by the popular emperor and the empress. The common people felt that the emperor was kind and tolerant, and the empress was virtuous and virtuous.
For a time, most people's impression of widows has changed a lot.
In the past, those who followed the trend and hated and insulted widows even brought gifts to apologize——
In the imperial decree, the emperor specifically mentioned the embroidered lady of Hongxiufang and Dayan Trading Company, and because of this, the embroidered lady of Hongxiufang was on the rise, and there was an endless stream of people who came to cooperate.As for Dayan Commercial Bank, it quickly returned to its former glory, and its business became more and more prosperous.
The crisis was so narrowly escaped.
Yan Qinghe couldn't help but praise Pang Xie, "I didn't expect you to do a good job in crisis public relations!"
Pang Xie could tell that Yan Qinghe was praising himself, but——
"What is crisis public relations?" Pang Xie, the curious baby, asked.
Yan Qinghe patiently explained the meaning of crisis public relations to Pang Xie, and then praised him in all kinds of rainbow farts.
"Actually, I'm not as powerful as you said..." Pang Xie rubbed the back of his head shyly, "This is a mistake, I'm really not as powerful as you said."
Yan Qinghe twitched the corners of his mouth, "Don't be modest!"
To be able to come up with such a good solution in such a short period of time, and to completely change Dayan Trading Company and Hongxiufang, and even the fate of the widow, Pang Xie's ability is really good.
However, Pang Xie waved his hand and said, "I'm not humble. I didn't like reading when I was young. The gentlemen didn't say anything on the surface, but they said behind my back that I couldn't support the wall. And my father, although he didn't say anything about me What, but every time he looks at me, there is something ineffective—"
It was supposed to be a very happy moment, but when Pang Xie mentioned these things, he felt very depressed.
Pang Xie lowered his head and said dejectedly, "I'm actually quite useless."
Yan Qinghe: "..."
It turns out that this child is really not humble, but inferior!
As soon as he noticed that Pang Xie had a tendency to feel inferior, Yan Qinghe immediately paid attention to it, and said with a straight face: "You are too arrogant, you are useless, you are obviously very useful!"
"You found all our storefronts and warehouses, right?"
"Our cloth merchants and accessories merchants are all negotiated by you, right?"
"And this crisis, most of the credit is on you!"
"You see that you have done so much and done so well, why do you think you are useless?!" Yan Qinghe looked at Pang Xie in disbelief.
Pang Xie had previously felt that he had done nothing, and that Yan Qinghe was the one who set up the Dayan Trading Company. Thinking of sharing the profits, he still felt that the money was hot, and he wanted to find a reason to reject the money. Said, he was stunned immediately, "I did all these?"
Yan Qinghe nodded, affirming: "You did all of this!"
Unknowingly, he did so many things?
Pang Xie couldn't believe it, but when he thought about it carefully, he really did these things himself.
It's just that things are too complicated and fragmented, and he has never paid attention to them.
After Yan Qinghe said this, his confidence that had been drilled into the soil suddenly sprouted a little bud.
"I seem to be quite useful..." Pang Xie said to himself with a silly smile.
Yan Qinghe patted him on the shoulder, affirming: "You are not only useful, you are capable! Very capable!!!"
With Yan Qinghe's affirmation, when Pang Xie came home, he was a little bit swaying when he walked, and he would giggle from time to time.
Seeing him like this, Pang Huan unconsciously thought of Yan Qinghe.
Thinking about Yan Qinghe's age and deeds, and then looking at his own son, Pang Huanqi didn't hit the same place.
"You went to Dayan Commercial Firm again today?" Pang Huan called Pang Xie to stop him.
Pang Xie couldn't wait to share his joy with Pang Huan, "Yes, I went to Dayan Commercial Firm today. Dad, do you know? The emperor praised our firm, and that..."
Pang Xie was about to say that he prepared the love letter, but was interrupted by Pang Huan, "Every day you go to Dayan Commercial Firm without doing business. When will you make progress? Can you do something serious?"
"I went to Dayan Commercial Bank to do a serious business, these few days I..."
"Okay, okay, you don't need to say anything. The Dayan Commercial Firm was run by Yan Qinghe. What does it have to do with you? You just paid for it! Don't go to the Dayan Commercial Firm tomorrow, come with me Officials, I'll find you an errand!"
Being denied by his father, Pang Xie tried to explain several times but was interrupted by his father, and when he heard his father's last words, he was immediately a little annoyed, "I'm not going! Didn't I tell you? I won't go!" I like those things in the court..."
"Don't like it? It's a job that others can't ask for. If it weren't for your father, I would be a minister of the official department. If you want to work for someone else, don't you want it? Don't you like it? I don't care if you like it or not, you have to go to the official department with me tomorrow! "
"I won't go!" Pang Xie resolutely refused to go.
With a dark face, Pang Huan said angrily: "If you don't go, don't stay in this house!"
"If you don't wait, don't wait, you think I'm a rarity!" Pang Xie was so angry that he turned around and left.
"Master..."
The butler wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Pang Huan, "Don't stop him, I want to see what he can do outside this house!"
When Pang Huan spoke, he deliberately amplified his voice in order to scare Pang Xie and make him change his mind.
Who knew that when Pang Xie heard these words, his steps of leaving became bigger and bigger. In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of Pang's mansion.
Pang Huan: "..."
housekeeper:"……"
Really gone?It's really long-boned!
Pang Huan was so angry that he looked at the housekeeper angrily: "Why didn't you stop him from ordering? Where can he go in the middle of the night?"
The butler looked aggrieved, spread his hands and said, "I always wanted to
