Chapter 210
In front of the Zhao Mansion.

Yan Chongluan got off his horse and threw the rein freely.

"Find an inn to settle down first, and we'll talk about other things tomorrow."

The staff of Yan's Chamber of Commerce responded and led the large team to a nearby inn.

Raising his hand and knocking on the door, Yan Chongluan soon heard footsteps coming from inside.

The old housekeeper looked at the unfamiliar face, cleared his throat and said, "Who are you looking for?"

Yan Chongluan politely cupped his hands, showing a gentle smile.

"Please also inform me that my friend Yan Chongluan is visiting, Brother Zhao will naturally understand."

Hearing Yan Chongluan directly uttered his master's surname, the old butler let go of his guard and hurried in to report.

At this time, Shen Xian had just picked up the first piece of mutton, and before the meat fell into the pot, he got the news that Yan Chongluan had arrived.

Shen Xian put down his chopsticks and couldn't help laughing, "Master, I think when we want Mr. Yan to appear, we might as well cook the hot pot directly. He arrived first before the meat was put into the pot, obviously he didn't want us to Eat alone."

Zhao Shun laughed and stood up immediately.

"Brother Yan has come from a long way, I'll go meet him."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Shun went out, Shen Xian and Liu Qing also put down their chopsticks and followed.

Seeing this, the old housekeeper quickly opened the door.

Zhao Shun greeted the door with a smile, looked him up and down, only to see that Yan Zhongluan was full of dust, and he suffered a lot on the road.

"Brother Yan, you've worked hard, go into the mansion to warm up."

Yan Chongluan stepped over the threshold, cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to everyone for welcoming you, it really gave Yan a lot of face."

Shen Xian looked at Yan Chongluan with a full smile and asked: "Young master Yan, what a coincidence, this is the first time we have eaten hot pot since we arrived in the capital, and you arrived as soon as the pot was hot."

Yan Chongluan laughed, with a happy expression.

"Ever since you left, I've been craving this. I didn't expect this wish to come true just after I arrived in the capital."

Shen Xian asked curiously after hearing the words: "I announced the ingredient list of the hot pot in Yongle County, isn't there any delicious bottom ingredient that spread to the prefecture?"

Yan Chongluan shook his head with a wry smile, "It's not that it doesn't exist, but the taste is very different from what Madam Sister-in-law makes."

"Okay, it's windy outside, Brother Yan invites you inside, let's chat while eating."

Zhao Shun made a "please" sign, and Yan Chongluan did not refuse, and strode ahead.

Brother and sister Niu Yu and Niu Lei only met Yan Chongluan once, they just smiled and said nothing.

Everyone sat down one after another, and the steaming stove warmed everyone up.

As soon as Yan Chongluan sat down, he glanced at Liu Qing and Yuechan, keenly aware of the unusual relationship between these two people.

Slowly raising the wine glass, Yan Chongluan joked: "It seems that after leaving Yuhua Prefecture, Brother Liu already has a sweetheart."

Liu Qing smiled embarrassedly, and introduced: "Her name is Yuechan, and she is the maid of Brother Zhao's family. Thanks to her willingness to pay attention, my younger brother made a lifelong contract with Yuechan."

Yuechan stood up, and obediently gave a blessing.

"I've met Mr. Yan."

Yan Chongluan nodded again and again, "Congratulations, I offer a toast to both of you."

After drinking the hot wine, the atmosphere gradually became active, and while the few people chatted, they also satisfied their hunger.

Niu Lei sat on the side, looking at Yan Chongluan. He had a handsome face and a decent speech. He looked like the son of a wealthy family.

Looking at Niu Yu, Niu Lei coughed and gave his sister a wink.

Niu Yu looked at him winking, raised her foot and stomped on him hard. Isn't this a mess, she is not worthy of such a young man.

Niu Yu took a peek at Yan Chongluan from the corner of his eye as he picked up the small fish balls, then sipped the hot soup.

Seeing that his younger sister was so disappointing, Niu Lei felt a little worried, when would his younger sister get married if things went on like this.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

After everyone finished talking about some interesting things, Yan Chongluan finally brought the topic to the point.

"Brother Zhao, Mrs. Sister-in-law, you hurriedly summoned me to Beijing, and you didn't specify the reason in your letter. Can you tell me clearly now?"

Shen Xian and Zhao Shun looked at each other, and then opened the conversation.

"Young Master Yan, it's a long story, let's start from the beginning."

It took about two quarters of an hour for Shen Xian to tell Yan Chongluan the ins and outs.

Yan Chongluan nodded after listening, it turned out that Zhao Shun wanted to use Gu Hanlin to pass the examination to enter the officialdom, and he didn't want to offend him right now, so he needed a reason to reject Gu Hanlin.

"Brother Zhao, Mrs. Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will deploy the Yan's Chamber of Commerce in the capital tomorrow, and produce perfume as soon as possible. I will definitely not give Gu Hanlin any chance."

Zhao Shun slowly raised his wine glass, "Brother Yan is here, so I feel relieved at this moment. Come, let me offer you a toast, and wish Brother Yan a prosperous future in the capital."

"Haha, let me borrow some good words from Brother Zhao."

After finalizing the matter of the chamber of commerce, several people ate for an hour, knowing that after a while, Yan Chongluan came out of the Zhao residence and was picked up by the chamber of commerce to the inn.

The next day.

When the sky was getting dark, Yan Chongluan left the inn, went to various shops, and bought a large luxurious shop.

This time he went to Beijing, Mrs. Yan and Master Yan gave him the greatest support, almost half of the savings accumulated by the family over the years were handed over to him.

Regarding the development of Yan's Commercial Firm in the capital, Yan Chongluan has his own considerations. If he wants to quickly occupy the market, he must be willing to spend money without giving Gu Hanlin an opportunity.

It took almost only one day for the plaque of Yan's Chamber of Commerce to be erected in the capital, from warehouses to perfume workshops, everything is available.

Such a big move naturally attracted the idea of ​​Huang Jinsheng from the God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce. He only found out about the origin of the Yan's Chamber of Commerce after a little inquiring.

Turning two jade beads in his hand, Jin Jin snorted coldly.

"The native turtle from Yuhua Prefecture dares to rob me of my wealth."

As soon as the words fell, I thought a long and slim little maid in a tulle skirt walked into the room.

"Master, Mr. Gu is here."

Huang Jinsheng stretched out his hand and grabbed the little maid, then pouted and said, "Tell him to come in."

The little maid responded shyly, and went downstairs to invite Gu Hanlin up.

Gu Hanlin walked into the room and squeezed out a three-point smile.

"Shopkeeper Huang, do you have time to go for food today? Let's settle the matter of perfume earlier."

There was a hint of disdain in Huang Jinsheng's eyes, and he said arrogantly: "Master Hanlin, haven't you heard of it?"

"What did you hear?" Gu Hanlin heard something bad from Jin Jinsheng's tone.

"Hehe." Huang Jinsheng picked up the snuff bottle and took a sip, then said lightly, "Yan's business has entered Beijing, even the perfume workshop has been set up, and our source of income is gone."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Hanlin's face sank like water.
