Mr. Fang and Mr. Du stood at the yamen gate waiting for Fang Liangji with expectant faces.
Mr. Fang: "I heard that there are a lot of shops for rent this time. It's a pity. It doesn't matter if you and I are here. Otherwise, if we open more shops, we can make more money."
Mr. Du had a look of envy on his face: "If you ask me, the Fang family is really lucky. After marrying the Li family, they directly joined the Yan family."
"Now the Yan family is getting better and better, and they even have a princess. Prince Weiyuan is in charge of all affairs in Xiliang. With the relationship with Prince Weiyuan's house, the Fang family will be able to establish a firm foothold in Xiliang in a short time. ¡±
Mr. Fang was also very envious of this: "I can only blame you and I for not being as sharp-minded as Lao Fang." Back then, the Li family's business was not as big as theirs.
But now, it has long been incomparable!
Not long after, Fang Liangji came out of the yamen.
Mr. Fang and Mr. Du hurriedly stepped forward. As soon as they got closer, they saw Fang Liangji's face full of sadness: "Xiannie, has the shop been rented?"
Fang Liangji had no intention of talking to the two of them at the moment, but thinking of the ten thousand taels of silver they had given them before, he said perfunctorily: "All the shops for rent this time have been rented out."
Mr. Fang and Mr. Du's expressions suddenly changed. They pulled Fang Liangji and asked, "Xiannie, can we still rent a shop? You promised us before that you would help us rent a shop."
Fang Liangji was annoyed and said impatiently: "The shops have all been rented out, and there is nothing I can do. Even I can't rent a shop myself."
Mr. Fang and Mr. Du's hearts sank. Seeing Fang Liangji's face looking very ugly, they quickly said, "Xiannie, this is not the place to talk. Why don't we go back to your shop first."
Fang Liangji also wanted to go back to the shop and think about what was going on? It was clear that the mayor Ma Teng was polite to him when he last saw him, but this time he met again and he was indifferent to him.
Several shops that had been reserved for a long time were directly told that they were no longer available.
What went wrong?
?¡
Fangji Silk Shop.
Sun Jiayue was happily instructing the maid to pack the items bought from merchants in the Western Regions: "Send all of these back to Fang's family."
Maid: ¡°Girl, with so many things, why don¡¯t you give some to the master and his wife?¡±
Sun Jiayue said with a smile: "Brother will be here soon. Let me buy it for my parents. This time my husband agreed to help my brother get the qualification to sell tea. I also have to show my filial piety to my parents-in-law."
The maid smiled and said: "I am so kind to the girl. I have heard that the qualification to sell tea is very rare. But when the girl mentioned it, I agreed without saying a word. It can be seen that I put the girl at the top of my heart."
Sun Jiayue liked hearing such words, and glanced at the maid with a smile. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Fang Liangji's voice from ahead, and her face suddenly became happy: "My husband is back!"
After saying that, he walked out quickly.
As soon as Sun Jiayue arrived, she saw Fang Liangji sending Master Fang and Master Du away with an unhappy expression: "Ms. sir, why are you back so soon? Didn't you say that you rented a shop and you wanted to go up to the shop to have a look? "
Fang Liangji waved his hand: "Forget it, we didn't rent a single shop this time."
Sun Jiayue's expression changed: "How could this happen? Didn't you say that the mayor promised you that he would leave a shop for you?"
Fang Liangji frowned: "I'm also thinking about the reason. This time I met Mayor Ma, his attitude towards me was completely different from the last time."
As he said that, he looked at Sun Jiayue.
"Jiayue, please help me think about it. Did I offend him somewhere during this time?"
Hearing this, Sun Jiayue's heart skipped a beat, and her mind couldn't help but think of the lady she met when she was buying a tapestry.
"During this period, my husband, you have been busy with things in the store. You have no chance to offend Mayor Ma, right?"
Fang Liangji shook his head: "Mayor Ma can't ignore me for no reason. There must be something going on here." After saying that, he called the boy and asked him to go out and inquire about the news.
Watching the boy leave, Sun Jiayue's heart suddenly started pounding, and she quickly recalled the tapestry purchase that day.
Although she wanted to buy a tapestry that day, after the lady spoke, she stopped pestering her and she probably wouldn't offend anyone.
Therefore, her husband's failure to rent a shop should not be her fault.
Thinking of this, Sun Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Fang Liangji's worried face, her eyes flashed and she asked tentatively: "Mr. sir, is it possible that someone doesn't want you to open a shop?"?
Fang Liangji suddenly raised his head: "Who?"
Sun Jiayue's face showed guilt: "Because of my affairs, the Li family has always been dissatisfied with my husband." At this point, she said no more.
"Whether it is the Li family or not, it is always right to blame the Li family. Anyway, the Li family has been operating in Xiliang for several years, so it is not impossible.
Fang Liangji really started to think deeply. After a while, he shook his head again: "Probably not. I asked, and the Li family did not open a store in Bamu Town."
At this moment, the boy sent out to inquire about the news came back.
Fang Liangji asked hurriedly: "How's it going? Did you find out anything?"
The boy looked at Sun Jiayue and didn't dare to reply.
Sun Jiayue's heart became tense when she saw it.
Seeing the boy dawdling, Fang Liangji said angrily: "I'm asking you, why are you dawdling?"
The young man then spoke: "Sir, I gave the hundreds of silver notes you gave me to Mayor Ma's personal attendant. Then the young man spoke and said" He looked at Sun Jiayue again.
This time Fang Liangji also realized that something was wrong, and said in a deep voice: "What did you say?"
The boy said bravely: "A few days ago, King Weiyuan accompanied the princess to come here to relax, and they met Aunt Sun on the way."
Fang Liangji¡¯s heart trembled. Last time he went to the palace, the princess talked about his wife in two out of three sentences, which showed that he had a good relationship with his wife.
The princess met Jia Yue
Fang Liangji did not dare to think deeply and turned to look at Sun Jiayue: "Have you met the princess?"
Sun Jiayue's face turned pale and she instinctively denied: "I don't know, sir, I haven't seen the princess a few times. Even if I did, I wouldn't recognize her."
Fang Liangji¡¯s face looked very ugly, and he didn¡¯t need to ask anything about what happened next.
Regardless of whether Jia Yue offended the princess or not, because she was his concubine, if he took her with him, the princess would be fed up with him.
Now how to do?
If he offends the princess, he will never be able to gain a foothold in Xiliang.
The young man thought for a while and reminded: "Master, when you come here this time, you haven't gone to see my third uncle yet."
Fang Liangji¡¯s eyes lit up. Yes, his third uncle is in Ganzhou. Maybe he can ask his third uncle to help him make peace.
"Get ready now, I'll go to Ganzhou tomorrow."
Before he finished speaking, a group of patrol officers and soldiers entered the store.
Fang Liangji: "Master, what are you doing?"
The officers and soldiers took out a piece of paper: "Some people said that your store does not comply with the rules. Now we are taking it back. You hurry up and move the goods out of the store. We will seal the store tonight."
Fang Liangji¡¯s expression changed drastically, and Sun Jiayue on the side was also frightened. She didn¡¯t expect that things would become so serious.
?¡
Fang Ji¡¯s silk shop was sealed, which surprised Mr. Fang and Mr. Du. Both of them were human beings, and they soon realized that Fang Liangji might have committed something.
The Fang family and Prince Weiyuan's family had been kissing each other in succession, and their shop was sealed. This showed that the matter was serious. After the two received the news, they immediately came to Fang Liangji to get back the 10,000 taels of silver.
Fang Liangji angrily returned the ten thousand taels of silver notes to them, arranged the frightened Sun Jiayue in the inn, and then rode to Ganzhou. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
