MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 97

Jinzhou, Wei Mansion.

"Why are you sleeping here?"

"Tired from playing, the two little ones fell asleep. It's cool here, so let the little glutinous rice **** and the little buns sleep here."

In the waterside pavilion in the backyard, there was a big children's bed, and two baby babies were sleeping soundly covered with a small quilt. Looking at the two babies sleeping with bulging bellies, Wei Cheng smiled gently.

"Husband, do you think things are going well in the imperial city?" Zhou Yuan raised his head with a worried look on his face.

Wei Cheng walked over and sat beside him, and put him in his arms: "Yuan Yuan, why do you ask this?"

"I'm worried. You dare to come up with ideas on such a big matter." Zhou Yuan leaned on his shoulder and said.

Wei Cheng smiled and said: "Don't worry. I just came up with an idea, and the one in power is the one who ultimately decides. An idea, even if it doesn't come to fruition, nothing will happen. Besides, if the one in power is dissatisfied, blame him , we can't get along in Fucheng anymore, at worst we can go back to Nanshan County to farm. How about it?"

Zhou Yuan laughed when he heard this, and went back to the countryside to farm, so his husband didn't care about the fame and wealth in front of him.

Zhou Yuan smiled lightly and said softly, "Okay!"

The couple jokingly discussed the days of farming, thinking about where to build a house with various fruit trees, flowers and plants. They chatted warmly, but they didn't know that the boat to Jinzhou had already docked with the imperial decree.

Yan Yi rushed back to report the news, the Wei residence was boiling, not long after:

The imperial decree has arrived, Wei Cheng please accept the decree—

"—Huai, who is both talented and virtuous, is the pillar of the country. He has made an indispensable contribution to the country. He is specially named a first-rank imperial merchant and rewarded with a hundred acres of fertile land. This is my honor!"

First Grade Royal Merchants! !

This is not only a special seal of leapfrogging, it is a great honor to be named a first-rank emperor merchant—! !

With the status and background of the Yun family in the imperial city, it is also the title of a first-rank imperial merchant.

 …

The father-in-law who passed the decree was sent away, and the Wei Mansion thanked the guests behind closed doors.

Yin Chengfeng's family, Wei Lei's family, and Wei Hu's family all gathered in the main hall, staring wide-eyed, overwhelmed with surprise, and happy for Wei Cheng.

Wei Cheng took the imperial decree, and to his surprise, he became an imperial merchant.

It's just that, as an imperial merchant, it seems that his idea should not be so honored.

"Chengfeng, how did the emperor award you a first-grade imperial merchant? Isn't this honor beyond the scope of the award?"

"I don't know. If you ask, my elder brother asked me to tell you that you deserve it." When he learned that the reward given to Wei Cheng was a first-rank imperial merchant, he also felt it at the time.

Wei Cheng suddenly understood.

In the case of the new emperor, his actions will undoubtedly help that person not only obtain cooperation with foreign countries, but also involve more levels of interests...

Forget it, the one who said he deserved it didn't need to think too much.

I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see the real imperial decree in this life.

Wei Cheng raised the imperial decree in his hand, and said to his wife: "Yuan Yuan, our farming life can only be carried out after we get old age!"

Zhou Yuan burst out laughing, at such a serious and surprising moment, only his husband was different, he wasn't nervous at all, and even joked at him with the imperial decree.

If someone else gets the imperial decree, they are not careful and become respectful. Even when he accompanied him to receive the imperial decree, my heart trembled, and now I feel shocked!

"Husband, you haven't put the imperial decree away yet."

Now Wei Cheng was a little stumped, he really didn't know how to put the imperial decree, if he arranged it according to his idea, he would definitely find a place to put it in the study.

It's definitely not going to—

It was Yin Chengfeng who told him how to place the imperial edicts, which were to be enshrined, and then the housekeeper was left to do the work, leaving a place for enshrining the imperial edicts.

"By the way, what are those boxes?" After processing the imperial decree, Wei Cheng looked at the large boxes in the hall and asked Yin Chengfeng, "The souvenir you brought back for me?"

Yin Chengfeng showed a joking smile: "No, this is what my nephew asked me to bring to you and your husband. Oh, and half of it is small glutinous rice balls. My nephew said these are for his future father-in-law and small glutinous rice **** A gift from a baby."

Wei Cheng directly blacked out, he'd better ask his servants to throw everything out!

"Uncle Mao, ask the servants to throw..."

"You can't throw it away, this is Xiaolin's wish. Husband, you are really serious about the child!" Zhou Yuan held back a smile and stopped him.

"That cold-faced boy has bad intentions." Wei Cheng said disgustedly, "My family doesn't lack these, throw them to the Yin Mansion." Then he looked at his wife, "Yuan Yuan can do this!"

"No!" Yin Chengfeng objected, "What your family doesn't want, my family won't want!"

"What belongs to your eldest nephew belongs to your Yin family!"

"What is given to your home is your home!"

"I do not want-"

He won't accept the brat who misses his little baby if he sends it to him!

"I don't want to—"

His indifferent nephew doesn't want anything!

"..." A row of black lines slid down the foreheads of the others in unison.

Isn't the point the imperial decree?

Why did it start arguing!

Zhou Yuan and Qi Yihan looked at each other, and then—

"Husband, if you keep arguing, you will go home alone today, and Xiaotuanzi and I will stay here for one night."

"Husband, I have accepted the gift from Xiao Lin." Zhou Yuan ordered, "Xiao Liu, ask your servants to move all the boxes into the Xiao Tang Yuan's room. They all belong to my Xiao Tang Yuan!"

Well, the daughter-in-law has spoken, how can I be noisy!

Okay, let's stop arguing and talk about business. The Wei Mansion has won the award, so there are many things to do next!

Feast, socialize, receive visitors...

Of course, as an imperial businessman, he has the right to refuse when dealing with these, but he can't refuse all of them, and he still has a lot to do.

Yin Chengfeng said: "You have been named an imperial merchant, and the dignitaries in Fucheng have already heard the news. Next, you have to deal with it well, and don't be in a hurry."

Wei Cheng pondered for a moment, then asked: "Is there a regulation? Or is it just a banquet?"

"Uh, this..." Yin Chengfeng never cared about things, and this really stumped him.

Wei Cheng rolled his eyes angrily.

"...The banquets of the imperial merchants belong to the category of official banquets. The Wei Mansion is officially listed as a powerful family. Official banquets are very particular. I will draw up the regulations, and then follow the regulations I have drawn up. There will be no mistakes." It still depends on Qi Yihan, the brother who really came from a wealthy family, to teach him.

Zhou Yuan said: "Yi Han, it's good to have you. Without you, I really don't know what to do, I definitely can't handle it!" His family has the status of an imperial merchant, and he will have to learn the official etiquette sooner or later. While this is happening, he has to study hard!

Qi Yihan said: "Okay. Yuanyuan, you can learn from me, it's not difficult! I will also help you to receive them together."

"Can we help?" Ren Nianluo and Lin Xiyu asked.

Qi Yihan nodded lightly: "How could we leave you alone? If Yuan Yuan and I were the only ones to deal with the female relatives of those famous families, we wouldn't be able to handle them." Otherwise, it would be bad for them to help.

Here at Zhou Yuan, with a few friends helping out, he didn't worry much about being unable to cope.

In Wei's mansion, everyone is discussing the banquet arrangement.

Outside the gate of the Wei Mansion, the Wei Mansion closed the door to thank the guests, but it was much calmer. But the entire Jinzhou prefecture city is boiling because of an imperial merchant!

The common people enjoyed talking about it, but to the upper-class families in Jinzhou Prefecture, they were all shocked.

How could he be specially designated as an imperial merchant without making a sound? He is still a high-grade imperial merchant!

Those who inquire about the news go to inquire, and those who order people to prepare gifts prepare gifts. Even the prefect of Jinzhou rushed to the Wei mansion as soon as he received the news. The Wei mansion closed its doors to thank the guests, but when the prefect arrived, the door would definitely be opened to welcome him.

The magistrate came to visit and brought the magistrate's wife with him. He knew that Wei's mansion needed help at this time, and the magistrate's wife knew how to organize official banquets.

With the guidance of the elder, Mrs. Zhifu, the post of the banquet and the reception etiquette at the banquet are all arranged properly.

The wealthy families who received invitations from the Wei Mansion were all happy to prepare gifts and dresses for the banquet.

At this time, the Jin family, the Xu family, and the Wen family were all still in decline, and among the three families, only the Xu family was not eligible to receive invitations. Even if they were eligible, Wei Cheng would not send invitations to the Xu family.

The Jin family can receive it. The head of the Jin family is currently the chairman of the Jinzhou Chamber of Commerce. As an imperial merchant, Wei Cheng has the direct right to be the chairman of the Jinzhou Chamber of Commerce. The Jin family has controlled the Jinzhou Chamber of Commerce for so many years, and the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce must be understood better through the head of the Jin family, so Wei Cheng sent invitations to the Jin family.

Wei Cheng had no intention of being the president of the chamber of commerce, but the Patriarch of the Jin family was doomed to be stripped of his title of president. He became an imperial merchant, the largest in the chamber of commerce, and the title of president of Jinzhou would inevitably fall on him. Get to know the chamber of commerce by contacting the Patriarch of the Jin family in advance, so that you can clean up the mess later.

As for the Wen family, Wei Cheng was not familiar with them. The magistrate's wife gave the list of banquets for the Wen family, and the Wen family was on it.

The banquet is in five days.

The news was sent back to Nanshan County on the second day.

Father Wei, Mother Wei, Uncle Wei, Uncle Wei and the others got the news that they couldn't sit still on the seat under their buttocks.

Second-rate Wei Yexuan withdrew his jaw in shock: "Brother Cheng, this is soaring into the sky!"

After finishing speaking, Uncle Wei burst into tears, "How can you talk nonsense, where is the calmness you learned before?"

Wei Yexuan covered his head and muttered: "I was scared away by the news!"

Uncle Wei San: "..."

As for Zhou's father, Zhou's mother and Zhou Yuan's friends, they were so shocked that they were dumbfounded for a long time.

Then discuss who will go to Jinzhou Fucheng to attend the banquet.

The people attending the banquet this time will definitely not be ordinary families. They can't all go there. If there are too many people, there will be chaos. If there are chaos, it will be rude.

After the discussion, the Zhou family was left by three uncles.

Also, Zhou Qiu and his wife, Zhou Muzi and Wei Yuan were present.

Except for Zhou's father who received the post, the uncle Zhou's relatives didn't know about it.

On the side of the Wei family, Wei's parents, Uncle Wei, and Uncle Wei's family only received the post. Uncle Wei and younger sister Wei Zhen got the news and made a fuss about going to participate.

There is no reason for the two families to go, so needless to say Fourth Uncle Wei, Wei Cheng just doesn't give face, and doesn't send any posts.

On Wei Xiaomei's side, Wei Cheng remembered that she didn't respect his daughter-in-law at all.

The Min family and the Lin family also received invitations.

The Cao family and the Cui family have long since regretted their youth, and there is no way to get in if they want to make a relationship.

In the end, the banquet went smoothly, and everyone was very respectful. Flattery and flattery were everywhere at the banquet, and they were all thinking about how to make friends with the Wei family, how could they offend Wei Cheng, an imperial merchant.

The first-rank imperial merchants had the same status as the third-rank officials of the Jing Dynasty.

In Jinzhou Fucheng, Weicheng, the imperial merchant, had a higher status than the magistrate.

Wei Cheng jumped from an official businessman to the most powerful person in Jinzhou Prefecture within a day.

—

After the Wei Mansion banquet.

Wei Cheng and Yin Chengfeng were busy.

They have to personally supervise the goods ordered by various states, and there is no room for any mistakes.

Wei Cheng was busy going in and out every day, and Zhou Yuan received invitations from various famous families while in the mansion.

It seems that he intends to bully Zhou Yuan as an ignorant brother, who dares to post a post to him.

From Qi Yihan and the magistrate's wife, he learned the rules of the rich and powerful. With his current status, he can refuse any banquet at will in the entire Jinzhou city.

Those famous wives who sent invitations to Zhou Yuan were still secretly laughing at his ignorance, thinking that he would definitely attend, and then they were slapped in the face.

Not only did the person not come, but he also asked the servants in the mansion to return the invitation card. The meaning is obvious, and those famous wives dare not do it again.

After Weicheng was busy supplying foreign countries with goods, the rich and powerful families in Jinzhou Prefecture could guess that Weicheng's status as an imperial merchant must be related to foreign missions.

After Wei Cheng delivered the goods on time, he formally took over the Chamber of Commerce.

As soon as he took over the Chamber of Commerce, he directly used the high-pressure policy to suppress it with his identity, giving the officials and businessmen of the Chamber of Commerce a blow. If you don't listen, then withdraw resources, he has the right. Then it took a month to take control of the chamber of commerce vigorously,

After that, the Jin family fell.

Officials and merchants of the Chamber of Commerce were terrified of being suppressed by Wei Cheng's direct means.

How dare he not compromise with Wei Cheng's threats of interests and wealth.

Both Yin Chengfeng and Wei Lei thought that he wanted to drastically rectify the chamber of commerce, so as to control the resources of the Jinzhou prefecture, and then use his identity to coerce those people to obey orders, thereby gaining greater power and status.

Who knows that Wei Cheng snorted and said with disdain: "I want to be able to accompany my wife and children safely. If no one is the president of the chamber of commerce, I wouldn't be too lazy to take over. This group of people is all about their interests, so don't scare them all." Come on, after I delegate power, give me a positive obedience and a negative violation, then the matter will be a big deal."

"To truly control is to make them feel fear. When they are afraid, they will know how to obey!"

Yin Chengfeng and Wei Lei really thought for a while that this guy would become an imperial merchant because of his interests, but they didn't expect that it was a game for him to be the shopkeeper.

Yin Chengfeng was speechless: "You are really 'deliberate'!"

Wei Lei is drinking tea, he has been taught!

Therefore, when Wei Cheng started to be the shopkeeper, he delegated the power of the chamber of commerce to a few people. Those people thought that Wei Cheng was plotting something, and they were trembling for a while.

Later, Wei Cheng really let go, no one believed his actions, after all, he summoned some power-distributors to discuss matters in his mansion from time to time. Still come one by one, no one reveals the slightest bit of content.

Yin Chengfeng and Wei Lei are also members of the chamber of commerce. They saw how Wei Cheng used 'methods' to punish people, and they both felt that the merchants in Fucheng lacked IQ.

The officials and merchants in the chamber of commerce all believed that Wei Cheng had deep thoughts. In order to keep their status, no one dared to disobey Wei Cheng's orders.

As the shopkeeper, Wei Cheng often stayed at home with his wife and children, drinking tea leisurely, and taking control of the Jinzhou Chamber of Commerce.

It is convenient to have the title of Imperial Merchant!

Such a comfortable life!

Zhou Yuan was with him, watching how his husband played tricks on others, and he also benefited a lot.

Wei Cheng looked at his daughter-in-law's eyebrows and eyes, with a smile in his eyes and mouth, his expression was still so gentle and bright.

He found that his daughter-in-law has become more confident and independent in this year, and her temperament has become more gentle and elegant, like a book like jade.

Wei Cheng thinks of the busy years, he seems to have never taken his daughter-in-law around.

If you take your daughter-in-law out to play, his daughter-in-law should like it very much!

Thinking of this, Wei Cheng put down the teacup in his hand, and said softly: "Yuan Yuan, I heard that each prefecture has its own beauty, and small glutinous rice **** and small steamed buns can also travel with us. How about we visit each prefecture? Take a look along the way!"

Zhou Yuan said softly, "Is it just our family? Do you want to call the others?"

"No need!" Wei Cheng didn't want to drag a bunch of tails behind him, "They're too busy, they don't have that much time!"

Wei Cheng didn't ask any questions, and directly made a conclusion for those couples.

Zhou Yuan's smile deepened, and he didn't expose his husband's intentions.

His husband said that Yin Chengfeng, Wei Lei, and Wei Hu were busy talking nonsense, they all followed their husband's example, learned to be a shopkeeper, and left the busy work to others. It's just that he is not as chic as his husband is when he is a shopkeeper.

"Husband, Wei Hu is your personal bodyguard, you must take it with you, right?" If others don't call, the bodyguard must take it.

Wei Cheng didn't even think about it: "He's not free, he's busy taking care of his son at home, just let Wei Tai and a few accompany him!" , was rescued by Wei Cheng and became a subordinate.

Zhou Yuan had black lines on his face, Wei Hu's son was still in Lin Xiyu's stomach. However, Lin Xiyu was really not suitable for traveling with her pregnant body.

"That's fine, just listen to your husband!" Zhou Yuan responded with a smile.

Hearing his wife's agreement, Wei Cheng's lips curled up slightly.

Now, you can have fun with your wife!

A family of four, sneak away!

When I came to Wei Mansion to look for someone, he was not at home!

Steward Mao put on a smile on his increasingly experienced face: "Masters, master brought the master and the two young masters to the south for inspection!"

inspection? !

He Weicheng will inspect?

What a joke! He will only be the shopkeeper!

Yin Chengfeng didn't believe it, "Uncle Mao, tell me, where did that guy from Weicheng take his husband and son?"

Butler Mao smiled and said: "I know I can't hide it, the master has an account, if I can't hide it, I will tell you the truth, the master took the master and the two young masters south to play."

Yin Chengfeng: "..." This is not concealment, this is called changing ways to show off!

Wei Lei: "..." Why didn't Chengzi call him secretly! His family, Nian Luo, also likes to play!

Wei Hu jumped: "Master, how can you not call me? I am his guard, how can you not call me. Call me and I will take my husband to play together!"

"..." Several people were speechless!

Your husband is pregnant, how can you go!

Wei Cheng has all gone south, so they had no choice but to go back home, wait for someone to come back and then settle the score after autumn—

Wei Ji on the second deck of the merchant ship.

The little glutinous rice **** and the little buns ran around curiously on it. There are maids and guards around to take care of them.

Wei Cheng sat on the cushion with Zhou Yuan in his arms, admiring the scenery on both sides of the river.

"Husband."

"Ok?"

"That's great!" Zhou Yuan sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing this, Wei Cheng lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms. Surprisingly, his wife's eyes were also looking at him.

Wei Cheng looked at the smile in his daughter-in-law's eyebrows, lowered his head and kissed his ruddy lips lightly.

The arms are slowly tightened.

yes.

They can meet each other, live their lives at this moment, in such wealth, they can always be together at any time, not because of the distance between those wealth.

very nice!
