Chapter 59 Fishing with gold bites, those who wish to take the bait (Part 1)
Chapter 59
In Cheng's mansion, today is different from usual.
The whole Cheng Mansion was a very busy scene with people coming and going.
However, the head of the family, Cheng Yaojin, was drinking tea under the sun.
A big black face was sunburned blacker than the bottom of the pot.
Everyone else came prepared, but Cheng Yaojin played the role of Jiang Taigong today.
On the surface, it seems that Cheng Yaojin is drinking tea with an old god, but in fact he is fishing.
And still catching big fish.
I just got the news that the bait has been released.
Just wait for the fish to take the bait.
Cheng Yaojin's task is very important.
It was His Majesty's trust in him that allowed him to do this fishing.
Of course, there is another reason, because his current wife belongs to the Cui family of Qinghe.
I can be regarded as a person of half a family.
Bang bang, bang bang, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Sir, do you want to see who knocked at the door?"
Cheng Daniu, the steward of the Cheng residence, asked.
The housekeeper's surname was not Cheng, but he had followed Cheng Yaojin for many years, so he applied to change his surname.
"Daniu, go and have a look. No matter who it is, don't let them in this time. Just say that it's not convenient for the master to meet guests now. Let them go back where they came from."
Cheng Yaojin had an inscrutable attitude.
The housekeeper Cheng Daniu was deeply surprised, but as a housekeeper, obeying the master's orders is the basic requirement for a qualified housekeeper.
What's more, Cheng Daniu is determined to be a gold medal butler.
"Master, Daniel understands what to do."
Cheng Daniu walked quickly to the door.
"Who knocked on the door so loudly?"
"Having been here for most of the day, are you still letting our master sleep?"
Cheng Daniu has been in Cheng Mansion for a long time and has a loud voice.
With such a voice, Cheng Yaojin almost spit out after taking a sip of tea.
Talent, what a fucking talent.
Sleeping in broad daylight has become such a justifiable reason.
Cheng Yaojin was delighted in his heart, and gave Cheng Daniu a thumbs up.
Wang Changyuan, the patriarch of the Wang clan, and Lu Guiling of the Lu clan, who knocked on the door, were also in a cold sweat when they heard Cheng Daniu's words.
After Cheng Daniu opened the door, seeing that it was the heads of two aristocratic families, he immediately changed his tone.
He still knew these two people. After all, when the master and his wife got married, they both sent congratulatory gifts and attended the wedding banquet.
As for whether all of this is for Cheng Yaojin's face, or for the Cui family's face, everyone is as clear as a mirror.
"It's really not the right time for the two Patriarchs to come."
"My master said that he has already fallen asleep, and he cannot receive the two masters for the time being."
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
That's it, that's the butler, what a fucking pit.
Can I still tell him when I'm asleep?
There is really no silver 800 taels here.
For a moment, Cheng Yaojin felt like he was about to pick up the teapot and run away.
When Wang Yuanyuan and Lu Guiling heard this, they were also confused.
However, they have received definite news that the Cheng Mansion has shipped a large amount of refined salt today.
Thinking that this is Baihuahua's money, after the two met for a while, they made up their minds that they must take the opportunity to make a fortune.
After all, Cheng Yaojin didn't have a shop, so Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to put it on the face of selling illegal salt.
Even if he asked his wife to go to Cui's to sell, the size is a bit big.
We all come from aristocratic families, so we eat meat together and gnaw on bones together.
Why do you eat meat this time and don't give us some soup.
"Daniu, can you inform General Cheng?"
"Just say that the two of us have something urgent to discuss."
After Lu Guiling finished speaking, he quietly stuffed a piece of broken silver into Cheng Daniu's hand.
Cheng Daniu held the broken silver tightly in his hand, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
Good guy, this piece of silver is enough for me to marry a wife.
"Don't worry, two heads of the family. Daniel will definitely inform the two heads of the family."
"When the master wakes up, Daniel will naturally tell the two families about his visit."
Cheng Daniu gleefully closed the door with a bang.
Wang Changyuan and Lu Guiling were shut out.
"Did you take other people's money again, kid?"
As soon as Cheng Daniu returned to Cheng Yaojin, Comrade Old Cheng spoke.
Daniu was startled, maybe the master has eyes behind his back.
Even if he has eyes behind him, he can't see it.
"Master, it's just a piece of silver. The two of them are so rich, so they don't charge for nothing."
"Haha, haha, what you say makes sense. If you don't accept it, you won't accept it for nothing."
"These two old boys must not have left yet. I'll go take a nap. Remember to wake me up next time you knock on the door."
Wang Yuanyuan and Lu Guiling really haven't left yet. They won't give up on such a big piece of cake no matter what.
A few wagons of salt are more than a few wagons of copper.
This profit is simply too great. Once they get it, they can sell it for whatever price they want. Rare things are more expensive.
What's more, now is the time when everyone is short of salt.
Wang Changyuan and Lu Guiling just sat at the gate of the Cheng Mansion basking in the sun.
This drying time is more than half an hour.
Not to mention, the warm spring sun almost put the two of them to sleep.
"In the near future, it's almost time. Let's knock on the door again. I don't believe that Cheng Yaojin can sleep so well."
Boom, boom, knock on the door sounded again.
Cheng Daniu appeared in front of the two again.
"The two families are here again, the master is still sleeping, this time Daniel decided to wake him up even if he offends the master."
"However... but when the master gets angry, the consequences are very serious..."
"Thank you for your hard work, great guy, thank you for your hard work..."
This time, it was not only Lu Guiling who gave Daniel a piece of silver, but also Wang Changyuan.
Cheng Daniu was so happy in his heart, he closed the door again happily.
"Two families, please wait a moment. Even if Daniel is risking his life this time, he still wants to wake up the master."
But it was time for tea, Cheng Daniu walked over quickly and opened the door.
"Two heads of the family, I was woken up by Daniel. His temper may not be very good now, and his mood will naturally not be that good."
"However, Daniel said that the two patriarchs came to visit, and the master's mood has improved a lot."
"Two Patriarchs, please go inside, Daniel will go and make tea for you."
Wang Changyuan and Lu Guiling finally stepped into the gate of Cheng Mansion.
"Old Wang, Lao Lu, what kind of wind is blowing from southeast to northwest today, and it actually brought the two of you here together."
Cheng Yaojin's words were so shocking that he couldn't stop talking.
Wang Changyuan and Lu Guiling were embarrassed as soon as they opened their mouths.
"Zhijie, we are here today to discuss an important matter with you."
