    Chapter 182

    After Qin Tian and the others left, Xie Wenjun left Nicholas Tse: "Tingjun, the second uncle has something to tell you."

    Under Xie Wenjun's gesture, the two uncles and nephews sat down across a small table.

    "Sima Jun, the boss of Changxinghang, came here before." Xie Wenjun said.

    "What's he doing here?"

    "He came to marry his eldest son Sima Chang. They want to marry Wanjun. I think your parents should know about this!"

    Nicholas Tse knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and immediately sneered: "It's really good for them to go to Changxing. We will tell my parents in Yangcheng about such a big event. It will take a lot of time for them to go back and forth. Letting out the rumors of marrying our Xie family to let the dealer know that it will definitely cause a rift between us, as long as we can no longer be of one mind, they will be able to dominate the tea business in Mobei." He looked at Xie Wenjun: "I know two Uncle is not good to reject them face to face, so let me go to Sima's house in person tomorrow, and say that Wanjun has already arranged a marriage, let them die!"

    After speaking, Nicholas Tse stood up, but was stopped by Xie Wenjun: "Nice nephew, don't be impatient. Sima Jun's proposal this time may not be without sincerity."

    Xie Wenjun pulled Xie Tingjun to sit down again and said slowly: "Sima Jun understands that with the combined strength of our Xie family and the banker, we really want to get a piece of the pie, even if we lose this time, we will definitely succeed next time. Instead of getting a third of the world by then, it's better to take out the Zhuang family when he has no foundation in Mobei, and form an alliance with our Xie family to gain two shares of the world. Wouldn't it be more beneficial?"

    Saying that, Xie Wenjun raised his eyes and thought of Nicholas Tse: "Actually, the same is true for us. Our purpose is only the tea business in Mobei. As long as this purpose can be achieved, what is the difference between cooperating with Shengshi or Changxingxing? We have formed an alliance with the Sima family, and in the future, we can use our strength to jointly suppress all businesses who dare to covet our business. Under our suppression, other businesses can only do some piecemeal business at most, which is not harmful to us. Tingjun, Don't you think that's actually a good idea?"

    Nicholas Tse was silent, as a businessman, as the future head of the Xie family, he was naturally not an emotional person. At the beginning of his cooperation with Shengshi, he also saw that Shengshi's strength could bring a lot of benefits to the Xie family. But when it comes to strength, the Sima family seems to be superior. Before, the Sima family had a posture of not allowing others to 'intervene', so they chose Shengshi, and now the Sima family is willing to take a step back...

    Two parts of the world is naturally much more 'tempting' and 'bewildering' than three parts of the world...

    Only in this way, the banker learned after the fact that he was bound to turn against the Xie family. If the banker is offended, he will be offended. He hasn't put them in his eyes yet, but... Qin Tian...

    She was afraid that she would hate him.

    Thinking of this, Nicholas Tse was indecisive and hesitant for the first time in his life.

    "But Sima Chang's uncle also knows it. I won't say whether he is a good character or not. Before we got married, the 'daughter' party died of illness. Although my sister's marriage can't be considered to fill the house, she always doesn't. It sounds good. Besides, Sima Chang is in his twenties. Although he has been married, I am afraid there are many people in the room. My parents will not agree with such people."

    Xie Wenjun picked up the teacup in his hand, 'touched' the tea cover and smiled, "It's because you know Sima Chang, so your father will definitely agree." He raised his head and looked at Nicholas Tse with a smile, but not a smile: "I'm more You know your father better, the Sima family has a great career, and the heir is not up to expectations, so how could he give up such a good opportunity? As for Wanjun..."

    Xie Wenjun put down the tea cup in his hand, and said lightly, "Who is she married to is still your father's 'daughter', your sister? Could it be that she will have a hard time in the future? To put it horribly, even if she remarries later difficult."

    Nicholas Tse lowered his eyes. He had to admit that the second uncle was right. Their Xie family has never been a family of good deeds.

    "Just in this way, our Xie family has always lost faith in the banker..." Nicholas Tse said softly. His psychology at this time is very strange, he seems to be looking for various reasons to shirk this matter.

    "Jun Ting, what's the matter with you today?" Xie Wenjun looked at him in surprise, "Why does this sound like what you said? Xinyi is for others to see. As long as we do things beautifully, who can say that? We have no faith? We still follow the plan and take the banker to the temple fair in seven days, pretending to do our best. If we still lose to the Sima family, even the banker can’t blame us, maybe you can continue with them Business cooperation in the south! Even if we cooperate with the Sima family in the future, we can only say that our plans have changed, and who can say that we have played tricks in it?"

    I have to admit that the second uncle is very reasonable. Nicholas Tse also understood why the second uncle worked so hard on this matter, even though it was their house who married the Sima family. But in Mobei, the second uncle's house has a deep foundation. In the future, they really want to eat the elephant of the Sima family, and they cannot do without the help of the second uncle, and of course his share.

    The Xie family are all "smart" people, otherwise there would not be today's prosperity.

    Xie Tingjun had no choice but to tell his father about this matter, and he had no way to stop it. Is it just that he really wants to stop it? Can he really resist the 'temptation' and 'temptation' of the Sima family? He couldn't figure it out himself for a while. But he knew that he had never had a choice as difficult as today.

    But because of a 'female' person...

    Nicholas Tse smiled bitterly.

    Coming from Xie Wenjun's study, Nicholas Tse saw a maid carrying Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan's luggage. He stopped and summoned one of the maids.

    "Where is this going to move?" he asked.

    "If you go back to the second young master, the wife has arranged a small courtyard in the east for the young master and his wife to rest. We are sending their luggage there." This is equivalent to Xie Tingjun's home in Mobei, where he is still ranked second. Still the second young master. The maids here also knew and respected him very well.

    "Why, did the wife arrange them together?" Nicholas Tse's expression sank.

    The maid was stunned, and said cautiously, "Madam said, they came from a long way, so don't pay too much attention to the hard work..."

    Customs vary from place to place. Like here, couples are generally not arranged to sleep in the same room, and they will find someone to accompany them separately. Unexpectedly, the second aunt will arrange them in the same yard.

    Isn't that, isn't that...

    Heart beats uncontrollably

    Although it is said that people who know a little bit of etiquette are unlikely to have anything in other people's homes, but along the way, they have never had the opportunity to get close, who knows...

    Thinking of the love between the two of them, Nicholas Tse's heart rose up with an unnamed fire. Seeing that the maid was about to leave, she was called back again. He called her to a remote corner, lowered his voice and ordered a few words.

    The maid's face was full of fear, and Nicholas Tse took out a silver note from her waist and stuffed it into her hand. The maid's eyes lit up, she nodded, and turned to leave.

    Lin Yong, who was standing not far behind him, saw everything in his eyes and couldn't help but say, "Young Master, you said that a 'woman' is nothing." I have never seen him as a 'woman'. There have been such emotional repetitions.

    That's because he didn't know before that there would still be such a 'girl' in this world who thought about her husband wholeheartedly. Even if she was ridiculed by everyone, she didn't want her husband's talent to be buried. Not for status, not for glory and wealth, but just because she was willing to be nice to him.

    Why can't such a 'woman' be his wife?

    Nicholas Tse put his hands behind his back and walked slowly forward with a sullen face. After a long time, he asked lightly, "Lin Yong, how do you think I compare with Zhuang Xinyan?"

    Lin Yong, who was following behind him, was stunned, and then replied: "How can Young Master Zhuang compare with you, Young Master? Don't talk about his own shortcomings. In terms of background, Young Master has a prominent background, and in the future...he will be even more of a human being. , and Zhuang Xinyan's son is just the son of a tea merchant. In terms of talent, the son's talent is obvious to all, and he is a person who does great things, but that kid can only make tea. In terms of appearance, the son is dignified and mighty, it is true The style of a man is not like that boy Zhuang Xinyan, who is marked like a bitch." Lin Yong said and shook his head: "How does the son compare himself to that kind of person, it's simply lowering his identity!"

    Nicholas Tse stopped, raised his head, and a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth: Yes, how does he compare with himself? If she comes to her side, she will definitely find that he is a man who is more worthy of her sincere treatment and entrusted to her life!

    Thinking of this, Nicholas Tse was relieved and couldn't help laughing twice.

    He hurried back to his yard, but saw his sister Xie Wanjun standing in front of the 'door' of his yard. He restrained his smile and walked over.

    "Brother..." Seeing him, Xie Wanjun burst into tears.

    "Go in and talk." Xie Tingjun said.

    The two entered the yard and came to Nicholas Tse's room. Lin Yong closed the 'door' and kept it outside the 'door', and Xie Wanjun's cry came from inside.

    "Brother, my cousin told me that people from the Sima family came to propose marriage to me today, saying that Sima Chang wanted to marry me, right?"

    Inside the house, Xie Wanjun pulled Nicholas Tse's sleeve and cried so much that the pear 'flower' brought rain.

    Seeing that his brother didn't say anything, he knew this was true, and Xie Wanjun cried even more.

    "Brother, Sima Chang is not a good person, I don't want to marry him, brother...he is a scoundrel and a disciple!"

    "If you listened to my words and stayed at home, how could this happen today!" Nicholas Tse said solemnly.

    Xie Wanjun stopped crying and her face was ashen, "Brother, brother, you have the heart to watch your sister marry someone like that..." She choked.

    "I can't do anything about marriage, or what my parents ordered the matchmaker to say." Nicholas Tse said softly, showing that his sister's face was getting paler and paler, and he couldn't bear it: "No matter who you marry, you are my sister. Don't worry, my brother won't let you suffer."

    Listening to his brother's tone, Xie Wanjun knew that this matter would be settled. Thinking of Zhuang Xinyan, there was a sharp pain in heart. Her 'legs' softened, and she sat on the ground and cried while covering her face. Nicholas Tse looked at her and just sighed. He really couldn't make up his mind about his sister's marriage. The Sima family's 'temptation' and 'temptation' are too great, believe father will have plans.

    Suddenly, Xie Wanjun knelt down in front of Nicholas Tse, and Nicholas Tse said in shock: "Wanjun, what are you doing? Even if you do, I can't do anything for you."

    "Brother, Wanjun asks you one thing." Xie Wanjun raised his head and cried and said, "Brother, please take me to the grassland, don't leave me behind. If everything is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed, at least... at least …”

    At least let me look at him a few more times...

    Xie Wanjun burst into tears and was speechless. But Xie Tingjun didn't understand what his sister meant. His heart softened, and he bent down to help her up.

    Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan were arranged by Mrs. Xie Wen in a quiet and spacious courtyard.

    Along the way, Qin Tian was seasick and forced to separate rooms with him. Later, although she was in better health, the two were embarrassed to propose to move back together because there were only two days to go by boat. Then they met people from Changxinghang on the road and went on the road together. Rooms are always scarce, and the two of them were embarrassed to ask for a room.

    The two of them wanted to get closer, and they only needed to hide in the carriage during the day and hug and kiss quietly, but after all, the carriage was not a car, and the sound insulation was not good, so Qin Tian didn't dare to go too far with him. In order to avoid being heard by outsiders and making jokes.

    How can a young man and a woman who love each other not want to rub each other's ears and be affectionate? Now it's really hard to have the opportunity to get along alone, and the hearts of the two are not not 'swaying'. But also know that this is a guest at someone else's house, so don't dare to overdo it.

    The two of them went back to the room after grooming.

    It is late autumn now, and the night is very cold. There was a charcoal fire in the room, and the kang was burning warmly.

    The two sat on the kang, you look at me, I look at you, blushing, with a smile on their faces, obviously not the first time in the same room, but they are a little embarrassed.

    At this time, Qiuju, the maid of the Xie family who was in charge of serving them in the yard, knocked on the door with a black lacquered wooden tray. On the tray were two green bamboo cups with 'flowers' in glaze. She put the tray on the red sandalwood carved 'flower' square table, turned around and smiled at the two of them and said, "This is the sweet soup with white fungus and red dates. My wife specially asked me to bring it here. My wife said that the climate here is dry, so drink a sweet night before going to bed. The soup moistens the intestines and lungs, and you can sleep well at night.”

    Saying that, he delivered the sweet soup to the two of them and urged them with a smile, "Master Zhuang, Master Zhuang's milk, drink it while it's hot."

    Thinking that it was Mrs. Xie's kindness, the two of them couldn't refuse, so they both drank the sweet soup. After Qiu Ju put away the cup, she left with a smile.

    The sweet soup is warm in the stomach, but it is very comfortable.

    Zhuang Xinyan glanced at Qin Tian next to him, and saw that she was wearing a snow-white coat, her long glow was hanging down smoothly, her face was like a hibiscus, her eyes were like autumn water, and the candlelight not far from the head of the 'bed' was quietly sprinkled on her body, Indescribably cute.

    With a sway in his heart, he couldn't help leaning over and kissing her cherry red mouth, only to feel the taste was as sweet as honey, he raised his head, it was so good to meet her eyes, her eyes Wu Yoyo, 'dang' rippling with fluorescent light, seems to have endless affection.

    He really wanted to put her under him to cherish and love her, but he still remembered that this was a guest at someone else's house. He took a deep breath, turned his face ruthlessly, picked up a 'bed' quilt from the 'bed', and went to sleep on the long couch next to him.

    When Qin Tian saw it, he quickly grabbed him.

    The couch is cold, how cold is it to sleep on it? He hadn't slept well for several nights in a row, and he was finally able to fall asleep on the 'bed', how could he be allowed to deal with the past like this again?

    She took the quilt from him and said that she went to sleep on the long couch, and he came to sleep on the 'bed'. But how could Zhuang Xinyan agree?

    In the end, in desperation, Qin Tian put the quilt back on the 'bed' and said with a smile, "Forget it, we can all sleep on the 'bed'."

    The second is not sure what time it is, try to be as early as possible~~o(∩_∩)o~~~ Please remember the URL, if you like "The Tea Fragrance of the Prosperous Age" written by shisan
