Chapter 510: Sai Weng Lost His Horse
Ruan Tiehua is the least well-known of many disciples included by Tang Rui. He was originally the uncle-brother named Ruan Zhifei, who married into the Tang Sect of Sichuan. Ruan Zhifei was originally a cloth merchant of one of the sixteen wealthy families who jointly issued Jiaozi by Chengdu Prefecture. Ruan Mansion was once one of the royal merchants who purchased cloth in the palace of the Wei Dynasty. However, since merchants in Zhejiang developed a large spinning wheel and more important officials of the Wei Dynasty court appointed southerners, the purely hand-made Ruan family was already much worse than before when Ruan Zhifei's father Ruan Shurui was born. When the fabric sent to the palace for the last time by the nobles, the Ruan family was completely thrown out by the royal family and never recovered.
In fact, this is not a wonder Ruan Zhifei's father Ruan Shurui, who was sending cloth to the palace for thousands of mountains. Compared with other businessmen, Ruan Shurui is actually the least suitable for being a businessman. Compared with the surrounding merchants who spent a lot of money to bribe those Jiangnan merchants who bought adults, he has a natural arrogance in his bones. He persistently believes that as long as the cloth he sent was of quality, there is absolutely no need to flatter these eunuchs. In Ruan Shurui's heart, eunuchs are an incomplete person. No matter how much money he gave him, he would not be able to pass it on to his future generations. This is completely unnecessary. What's more, Ruan Shurui's cloth sent to the palace this year. He has long been full of confidence. Compared with the yellow cloths sent to the palace in the past few years, Ruan Shurui has changed the original large workshop-style production to small workshop-style refined and fine-quality processing. In order to send these pieces of cloths to the palace, the Ruan Mansion can be said to have spent nearly a year on it. The manpower, material resources and energy he invested in can no longer be measured by money. It can be said that things made with his life and life have already made Ruan Shurui feel the joy of victory in advance. What's more, compared with the fabrics sent by other merchants, the texture and gloss of the Ruan family's fabrics are completely outspoken.
It was precisely this that when Ruan Shurui later turned the unrecognizable cloths sent back to his hand into ashes with a handful of fire, he didn't understand what was going on.
Now the eunuchs around the official family have already been in love with Cai Jing and Gao Qiu. The various royal goods purchased by the people have been secretly removed by these people and sent to the nobles. The reason why they did this was not only because they gave Ruan Shurui and others who were ignorant of the current affairs was mainly because they wanted the official family to spend the second or third time to purchase it, so that they could collect a few more benefits. The royal cloth that was abandoned by the official family and sold it at a high price, which made them more expensive. It can be said that they deserved the price as a national worm.
For the fabrics sent by Ruan Shurui to the palace, whether the royal family uses them or not, they have actually paid enough money. The reason why they returned the cloth with ink to Ruan Shurui was to tell the other party that you don’t have to come to deliver cloth every year in the future. For a businessman like you who is not a good person and self-righteous, you have been removed from the list of the royal merchants by the government.
Ruan Shurui, who was hit hard by this incident, fell ill on his way back to Chengdu. Because of the complete failure of the cloth supply, the Ruan family never raised their heads in Chengdu Prefecture, and the royal family dared not use anything. The dignitaries and nobles in Chengdu Prefecture dared not reach out. When Ruan Shurui took the step of quality, he had actually blocked his retreat. He originally hoped to fight a beautiful turnaround in front of the official family, but now it is not high or low. In order to study the new cloth for more than a year, he has been in debt. When the Ruan family's family business was passed to Ruan Zhifei, except for the so-called "long cloth" formula he had already remembered to Ruan Zhifei before his death, there was only a broken house several feet square.
Ruan Zhifei can be said to be born at the wrong time. Compared with his father, he has a somewhat inexplicable Ruan Zu legacy in his bones and blood. He is smart and smart, adaptable. When Tang Wei thought about Tang Wan and his old love married him in another way, he began to show his strength in another place.
Tang Rui can be said to be completely unaware of business. After the scum Tang Rui broke into his family, he had to sell his old face and wipe his butt for the grandson.
It was not until one day that he accidentally heard about Ruan Zhifei's so-called one penny as a two penny, that Tang Rui slowly began to hand over some spare money at home to Ruan Zhifei for use. When Ruan Zhifei made small and grew bigger, he slowly turned the one penny that Tang Rui gave him into ten guan coins, and ten guan coins turned into hundreds of guan coins, that Tang Rui realized that he had picked up a treasure.
But Miss Tang Wan was sneering at this man who was weak and full of strange ideas. When the grandfather who once loved her the most slowly began to speak good things for the man who despised from the bottom of her heart, Tang Wan began to torture the man in disguise in order to become more and more respectful to the man in front of her. In addition, Ruan Zhifei later frequently traveled between various prefectures and counties. Both of them could not meet several times a month, and they could not speak several times after meeting several times. When Tang Wan found that this man whom she looked down on in her bones actually sneered at her, her standard of revenge became even bigger and bigger. The two finally became the most familiar strangers in the Tang family.
Ruan Tiehua met Mr. Tang Rui when Ruan Zhifei first came to recognize his relatives. As a matter of marriage to shame his ancestors, the so-called relatives and friends of the Ruan family were unwilling to come. As a cousin who had played with Ruan Zhifei since childhood, Ruan Tiehua was not a brother but better than a brother. The moment Ruan Zhifei spoke, Ruan Tiehua agreed without hesitation.
When Ruan Tiehua, who looked heroic, appeared in front of him, Tang Ruiju regretted giving his baby granddaughter a wrong person.
"Grandpa, I remember you once said that as long as I enter your Tang family's door, you will agree to me with a condition. Can you take this seriously?"
Tang Rui frowned and said in a gentle tone: "The family doesn't speak two families, just ask for any requests."
"The man next to me who was liked by you at first sight was Ruan Tiehua. When he came, he told me that I hope I would ask you to beg you and accept him as an apprentice. I just thought, my grandfather owes me a wish. If you are willing, I hope you will realize my request now and accept him as an apprentice. Except for the three of us, no one else needs to know about this. I secretly teach him a few tricks so that he can also make a name for himself. From now on, I can also stand up in the Tang family as a human being. I want to prove to you that the grandson-in-law you didn't like at first sight will always make you look at with admiration."
