Chapter 58
Yan's firm.

"Ha, is that kid leaving now?"

In the wing room on the second floor of the firm, stood a middle-aged man leaning against the window, admiring the farce downstairs.Seeing He Xin and Uncle Qian stumbling away, a mocking sneer appeared on his face.

"This kind of brat, really thinks he can compete with Yan?"

Yan Zhengchang, who was beside him, immediately stepped forward to please him and said: "Cousin, you are right, like his shabby incense shop, only those few incense prescriptions are worth a bit. I have already found someone to come back silently. His mind is still engaged in business, and he is still counting the money after being sold, so we are saving him."

"Well, you did it neatly." The man whom Yan Zhengchang called his cousin was Yan Hongxin, the behind-the-scenes boss of Yan's Firm.

Yan Hongxin didn't have any good background or talent, but fate gave him a good sister.His younger sister, Yan Shi, married Yin Hongzhi, the younger brother of Concubine Yin De, one of the four concubines of the current emperor.And he, also benefited from Yin Hongzhi, was not only recommended by him, but also became the confidant of Li You, the son of Concubine Yinde, the fifth prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he also used this relationship to establish Yan's business firm among the people, and used various means to attack Or annex potential emerging merchants in various industries, thereby hoarding a lot of wealth.

The one they were targeting this time was the Pengyun Fragrance Shop, which had become famous in the past few years.This is their usual method. There were dozens of merchant shops planted here before, if not hundreds.This is why their Yan's firm can master the latest core technologies in various industries in such a short period of time.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, I'm at ease, you can deal with it according to your needs. By the way, the birthday of Empress Defei is coming soon, do you have any clues about the birthday gift I asked you to prepare?" Yan Hongxin restrained his expression, and asked in a deep voice .

Mentioning this matter, Yan Zhengchang suddenly showed embarrassment: "I have already spread the news about buying Yin Niangzi's embroidery, but no one has contacted me so far..."

After hearing this, Yan Hongxin snorted softly: "This is the most important thing right now, you can put other things aside for me. I will give you another half a month, if you still haven't disappeared, the position of the manager of Yan's Commercial Bank , let’s change to someone else.”

After saying this, he walked out without looking back.Only Yan Zhengchang was left without daring to take a breath, and sent him away respectfully.

※※※※

He Xin, who was kicked out by Yan's firm, ran into trouble again at Yinglin's in Pingkangli.It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he had been played and applauded by Yan Zhengchang from the beginning to the end.He first lied to himself to let their people enter the fragrance shop with a clever tongue, learned the location of the new shop and the rental price, and looked through the account books and spice formulas.At the same time, she let Yinglin trick her into beauties and coaxed herself into obsession, so she didn't even realize that Xiangpu was in a dangerous situation.

Thinking of this, deep despair welled up in He Xin's heart.

Before he left, Aye still kept talking about his entrustment, how could he live up to the trust and expectations of Aye and Qiu Sanniang?
By the time Qiu Mo found He Xin, he had already been drinking in Beiqu's restaurant in Pingkangli for three days.

When the drunken He Xin looked up at Qiu Mo, his eyes were already red.

"Third lady...I...I'm sorry for you and Aye...I'm really useless..."

Seeing He Xin's embarrassed appearance, Qiu Mo couldn't help sighing.

She herself is also responsible. During this period of time, she has been worrying about her marriage, but ignored the matter of the incense shop.Now that this is the case, there is no other way but to unite and face it together.

Qiu Mo ordered the wine doctor in the restaurant, found an empty room for He Xin in the restaurant, and asked Uncle Qian and Shuanghan to carry him in together.

Looking at He Xin who was lying on the bed so uncomfortable, she found a chair in the room and sat down, and said softly to Uncle Qian: "Ah Weng, I will ask you to take care of He Xin today. When he wakes up , Just tell him what I said, stop drinking, things don’t necessarily turn around. Let’s find a way together.”

"Hey! Good! Good!" Uncle Qian hurriedly responded.

Qiu Mo saw that the arrangements here were basically in order, so she took Shuang Han and left the wine shop.

※※※※

Pingkangfang is only one street away from Chang'an East City.It was still early, and Qiu Mo suddenly had the idea of ​​investigating this "Yan's Firm".She took Shuanghan into Dongshi, turned a corner along the alleyway, and soon arrived at the entrance of Yan's business house.

At this time, there were many people standing at the entrance of Yan's Commercial Bank, all gathered around the bulletin board outside the commercial bank to watch the excitement.Seeing this, Qiu Mo raised her eyebrows, and motioned for Shuanghan to step forward to check what happened.

Shuanghan understood what she meant, squeezed up quickly, stood on tiptoe and looked over the bulletin board, discussed with the people next to her, then turned around and walked towards Qiu Mo.

"Third lady, the daughter of Yan's Trading Company is begging for Lady Yin's embroidery." Shuanghan said in a low voice, "I heard from people around me that Yan's Trading Company is in a hurry to buy this, and the price is extremely high."

"Lady Yin..." Isn't that the Lady Yin, the first wife of Chang'an City's No. [-] Xiuyan Mansion, who once taught embroidery in Qiu's family for a while, and later took Su Qian as her apprentice?
Qiu Mo and Shuanghan looked at each other, and they both thought it was such a coincidence.

Sure enough, there are no doubts and no way out, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers.

"Third lady, do you want to...?"

"I'll go to Susie tomorrow." Qiu Mo immediately made a decision.

********
Su Qian accompanied Qiu Mo to Yan's mansion to meet with Mrs. Yin, and told the whole story in detail from beginning to end.When Mrs. Yin heard that it was Yan's firm that was asking for the purchase, her face became unhappy.

"Yan's bastards again..."

Both Qiu Mo and Su Qian looked at Lady Yin in puzzlement, waiting for her to continue.

"As early as half a year ago, the Yan family had been sending people to Yan's mansion to deliver invitations, hoping that I would embroider a neon golden peacock feather trailing skirt for them. But I had too much embroidery to do at that time, and what they wanted Time was tight, so I declined their invitation." Recalling the scene at that time, Lady Yin couldn't help but gritted her teeth and continued, "Who would have thought that they would use some indecent means to put my husband in a difficult situation and threaten me to push him away?" Forget about others, come and embroider for them first.”

Speaking of this, Lady Yin became even more angry.Her husband and son-in-law are full of economics, and they know everything about ancient and modern biography.But no one is perfect. Although he is talented, he loves antique calligraphy and painting, which is exactly what Yan's firm has grasped for this hobby.After they gave Yan Shigu two pieces of calligraphy by Xue Daoheng, a famous Sui Dynasty master, they used it to threaten Lady Yin instead.If she refused, she would report to the government that her husband-in-law took bribes.Mrs. Yin was not convinced, but Princess Xiangyang came forward and Yan Shigu returned the two pieces of calligraphy, and the matter was settled.

This involves family ugliness. Of course, Madam Yin will not go into details about it to the two apprentices, but since then, Yan's firm has completely offended Madam Yin, and it has become impossible to get another pair of embroidery from her. up.

"Sanniang didn't know that Mrs. Yan would insult Master so much, and she came to ask Master for embroidery. It's really impolite." Qiu Mo frowned. It seemed that this method would not work, and she did not want Mrs. Yin to go against her wish to help her busy.

"It's not your fault. Besides, your friend is also a victim." Lady Yin always thought that Qiu Mo was standing up for her friend, just like she was helping her apprentice Su Xi.

"Xi'er, I have some embroidery that I have embroidered before. It was originally used as a demonstration for the embroiderer and you. You can take Sanniang to pick it out. If you can use it, you can take it." Just go."
