Su Huaizhi began to think about any special stranger he had met a few days ago. He didn't know whether the owner of Bamboo Mirror Shop talked to him or just looked at him from a distance.
"I wonder if Shopkeeper Sun's boss is a man or a woman?" Su Huaizhi wanted to narrow down the scope of his speculation.
Sun Fugui took back his hand on the table and put it on his knee, "It's a woman."
Su Huaizhi's eyes widened instantly, and his brain was as energetic as if it was watered with mint juice. It turned out to be a woman.
A beautiful face appeared in his mind, and the one who left a deep impression on him was the woman he saw at home that night.
Other than that, they are just passers-by on the street, or kabuki dancers in restaurants and brothels. They definitely don't have that ability.
Although Su Huaizhi asked Su Qingli who the man and the woman were when he woke up the next day, Su Qingli did not tell him and only told him not to meddle in his own business and run his own business well.
Su Huaizhi excused himself that he needed to think about it, and immediately rushed home after sending Sun Fugui away.
"Dad, who were the man and woman who visited you that night?" Su Huaizhi had to ask clearly. Now the two princes in the capital were already fighting over each other.
The Su family had left the court for many years, and he was a conscientious businessman who didn't want to cause trouble at all.
Su Qingli was reading the letter from the capital city. Ever since he decided to help Li Junche, the messages from the capital city had not stopped, "I have been shouting all day long, didn't I tell you to leave it alone?"
Su Qingli knew that his son was not ready to enter the officialdom, so there was no need to tell him these troublesome and deceitful things, which would only increase trouble and worry.
Su Huai sat down on the chair next to him, frowning like a caterpillar, "Now I have to take care of it. Just now the shopkeeper of Zhujingfang came to me, saying that he was from the Eight Imperial Merchants You want to do business with me, open a shop, and capture the entire Shuonan City market."
Su Qingli folded the letter and held it in his hand, looking at his thoughts, "Didn't you say last time that Huang Shang's partners were saturated, didn't you grab it?"
Su Huaizhi patted his thigh and said with determination, "Yes, our Su family's business is not big, and it is not one of the best in the entire Shuonan City. They just came to me, and even came to the door in person, and even brought the goods. , I had a few words with the shopkeeper of Zhujingfang.”
"Dad, you know, the owners behind the eight royal merchants selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs this time are actually the same person, and she is also a woman. Shopkeeper Sun said that their owner met me when he came to Shuonan City a few days ago. Decided to cooperate. After thinking about it, I haven’t seen any capable woman, which is the last possibility of the woman I saw in the house that day.”
At that time, he just said that he could not get the goods from the imperial merchant, which must have been remembered by the other party. After returning to the capital, he sent someone to hurriedly come to ask for cooperation.
Su Qingli's hand holding the letter couldn't help but clenched, and her brows and eyes were filled with thoughts.
Royal merchant?
Does Princess Che have that ability?
Seeing that his father was silent, Su Huaizhi couldn't help but feel a little irritated. He was so old, but he didn't tell him anything. He just didn't trust him and felt that he was unreliable!
Su Huaizhi looked at Su Qingli with pleading eyes, "Dad, can I do this business? Just tell me who that woman is, okay?"
Putting aside the potential danger, he still wanted to cooperate with Huangshang.
Su Huaizhi has been determined to become a wealthy businessman since he was a child, and this opportunity will allow him to easily achieve this goal.
Su Qingli looked at Su Huaizhi, "That is Prince Che's princess Wen Jinhe, who is also the third princess of Linyue Kingdom."
Su Huaizhi blinked and couldn't help but swallow, "Is the man following him Prince Che?"
Su Qingli nodded and admitted.
Su Huaizhi's vision began to become unreal.
Seriously injured and unconscious, Prince Che, who was supposed to be praying to gods and worshiping Buddha at the temple, showed up at his home with his princess unknowingly at night. What was he doing?
What did dad think?
"Dad, are you planning to help King Che fight for the throne?" Apart from this, Su Huaizhi really couldn't think of any other possibilities.
Su Qingli handed the letter in his hand to Su Huaizhi, "Yes, my father has decided to side with King Che."
Su Huaizhi opened the letter and read ten lines. The Prime Minister knew that it was his father's disciple.
It seems that after that day, my father began to contact his old ministers.
Su Huaizhi returned the letter to Su Qingli, stood up, straightened his sleeves, and prepared to go out.
Su Qingli stared at him, confused, "What are you doing?"
Su Huaizhi said enthusiastically: "I'm going to find shopkeeper Sun to discuss opening a shop together. Since you are already on Prince Che's side, it will be no problem for Princess Che and I to do business together."
"Don't you want to be a father and have contact with the old ministers of the court? Why do you seem to be very happy now." It was the young Su Huaizhi who clamored to move back to Shuonan City, otherwise even if Su Qingli was not the prime minister, he would not be the prime minister. He will stay in the capital, after all, all his connections are there.
Su Huaizhi counted his hands and said: "There are only two princes in the court now. The future emperor will be either the eldest prince or the second prince. Originally, there was one civil and one military. King Heng had more supporters in the court, while King Che held a heavy army and had outstanding military achievements. . Now that you side with King Che, he has both military power and court officials, so the possibility of ascending to the throne is greatly increased."
Seeing that Su Qingli was listening patiently, Su Huaizhi continued: "My emperor does not care about the distinction between legitimate concubines, which means they are the same. After King Che woke up, he killed King Heng's father-in-law in a fight. Che Although the princess is the princess of Linyue Kingdom, she has strong business skills and holds a lot of money and food. When we start fighting with Linyue Kingdom, she can provide both money and food. Neither husband nor wife is easy to mess with. As mentioned above, the possibility of King Che ascending to the throne is very high, and since Dad has already made a decision and taken action, I have no choice but to compromise. "
Su Qingli was stunned. He didn't expect Su Huaizhi to say such a thing, "Huaizhi, after King Che ascends the throne, you can join the court as an official. My father thinks you are actually quite talented."
"No, when King Che becomes emperor, maybe I will become the richest man in Shuonan City." Su Huaizhi shook his head repeatedly. Being an official does not have the freedom and wealth of being a businessman.
"If the boss behind the eight royal merchants is really Princess Che, she has a purpose for cooperating with you. Don't rush in and lose your sense of proportion." At that time, Su Qingli only noticed that Wen Jinhe was beautiful and Li Junche loved her very much. She never imagined that such a thin and beautiful woman would have the ability to control the world's money.
And as a princess, she doesn't have to go into business.
Of course Su Huaizhi knew it well, "I know she is here for you, dad. Since we are already on the same boat, it doesn't matter if I take advantage of her."
If Wen Jinhe was the owner of Zhujingfang, he would know if he tested Sun Fugui.
When Li Junche ascends the throne, he may not have a chance to occupy it.
