Chapter 59: 30.1

Chapter 30          Backer (1/2)

In the capital of West City.

A rich and gorgeous carriage was parked outside the entrance of Wen Silk Store, and a woman in a light stone blue and white brocade dress came out and got out of the carriage with a maid’s help.

The shop assistant who was waiting at the Silk Store entrance saw that her clothing must be from a female family member of the noble family. And this noble person must be here for the first time.

With a smile on his face, the shop assistant walked forward, bowed, and said, “Distinguished guest, please come inside. Our Silk Store…” But the words were interrupted by the maid’s mouth.

“My lady wants to see the shopkeeper.” The maid said coldly.

The lady mentioned by the maid was looking at the inside of the Silk Store, and Wen Luo, who was wearing a plain brocade robe, was engrossed in checking the newly arrived batch of satin.

Wen Luo seemed to sense something, he looked up and saw the visitor. He frowned slightly, it was her.

——

The person who came was Wang Jingyan, the second daughter of the Left Prime Minister Mansion, and also the adopted daughter of Yu Shenghai, a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou who was now the head of the family. And Wen Luo, the adopted son of the late Old Master of the Yu family in Yangzhou, was once regarded as the uncle of Wang Jingyan.

Wen Luo’s Wen Trading Establishment entered the capital with great fanfare and fought a big battle with Song Mei’s shops. It was no longer a secret in the capital, and it certainly could not escape Wang Jingyan’s eyes and ears.

After Wang Jingyan got the news, she immediately informed her father, the Left Prime Minister, Wang Xian.

Since several generations of the Wang family were prime ministers, the Left Prime Minister, Wang Xian, had an extremely keen political sense of smell. Wen Luo’s incident in the business world targeting Song Mei of the Right Prime Minister Qin Mansion, might implicate the Left Prime Minister Mansion.

Those who were interested would find out that Wen Luo was from a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, the adopted son of the late Old Master of the Yu family, and the adopted brother of the current head of the family Yu Shenghai.

And the Yu family in Yangzhou, because of the adoption of the second daughter of the Left Prime Minister, Wang Jingyan, had a close relationship with the Left Prime Minister Mansion.

Now that Wen Luo had entered the capital, and had made frequent actions that pointed directly at the businesses of Song Mei, the wife of Right Prime Minister Qin, which made people wonder if it was the Left Prime Minister Mansion who was targeting the Right Prime Minister.

The Left and Right Prime Ministers often had different political opinions in the court, and their opinions were contradictory. It was a good thing for the government to have different voices in the court, but this was only a matter of officialdom.

If the contradiction between the two rose to the point where they had to forge a personal grudge after leaving the court, it wouldn’t be a trivial matter, and even the Emperor and the Taizi would not be happy.

Therefore, the Left Prime Minister, Wang Xian, asked his second daughter, Wang Jingyan, to immediately write to her adoptive father in Yangzhou, Yu Shenghai, to ask what was going on.

——

Yu Shenghai was shocked when he received Wang Jingyan’s letter.

Wen Luo was sent to Gu City in Northwest by him three years ago, and Wen Luo had been very honest in recent years.

His youngest son, Yu Qing, also followed Wen Luo to Gu City before. Although he didn’t stay for too long, Yu Qing returned to Yangzhou because Gu City was too boring. But Yu Qing came back and said that when he was there, he saw that Wen Luo was indeed running a business honestly in Gu City.

But now, Wen Luo quietly went to the capital, and the business was still so big.

Moreover, there were many noble families in the capital. To do business in the capital, it was not just relying on the capital. Without a powerful backer, probably he couldn’t even buy a shop. Not to mention that Wen Luo suddenly got so many shops with excellent locations.

Needless to say, Wang Jingyan’s letter stated that Wen Luo was purposefully fighting against the shops of the Right Prime Minister Qin Mansion. It was like telling everyone blatantly that he was targeting the Right Prime Minister.

Yu Shenghai also understood the sensitivity of this matter. Wen Luo was nominally still a Yu family member, and the Yu family had close contact with the Left Prime Minister Mansion, which indeed made people suspect that the Left Prime Minister was targeting the Right Prime Minister.

Yu Shenghai immediately wrote back that he really didn’t know why Wen Luo would enter the capital, and this was not his arrangement. He had sent Wen Luo to Gu City three years ago, and Wen Luo had nothing to do with the Yu family’s business for a long time.

After receiving Yu Shenghai’s reply, the Left Prime Minister Wang Xian was relieved.

The letter said that Wen Luo went to Gu City three years ago. Oh, Gu City, could it be the eldest daughter of the Right Prime Minister Qin Wenzheng, the Princess of Zhaoren, Qin Yan?

Qin Yan, the Princess of Zhaoren, had been making trouble at the Right Prime Minister Qin Mansion since the first day she returned to the capital a few months ago. No one in the capital knew that the father and daughter had a bad relationship. It seemed that the person behind Wen Luo might be Qin Yan, the Princess of Zhaoren.

Qin Wenzheng was not of high birth, but he was able to become the Prime Minister through Hanlin Imperial Academy and be on an equal footing with him. Besides the salary and rewards, the source of income in Prime Minister Qin Mansion was the dowry from his former wife, Shen Shiying. All these made the Left Prime Minister Wang Xian look down on the Right Prime Minister Qin Wenzheng.

This time, the person who could settle the account rightfully was back. Hehe, the Left Prime Minister Wang Xian was happy to watch the good show.

However, on the downside, Wen Luo was still related to his Left Prime Minister Mansion, which made Left Prime Minister Wang Xian a little worried, so he asked Wang Jingyan to deal with it as soon as possible.

It was okay to watch the fun, but he didn’t want to get himself involved.

——

Previously, Wang Jingyan had sent invitations to Wen Luo Mansion several times, but Wen Luo avoided them.

Today, Wang Jingyan sent someone to stare at Wen Luo and knew that he had arrived at the Silk Store in West City, so she personally came to block him.

On the second floor of the Wen Silk Store, there was an elegant room by the window, which was used to receive distinguished guests.

Wen Luo and Wang Jingyan sat opposite each other, each drinking tea, neither of them spoke, and the room was quiet.

After a while, Wang Jingyan broke the silence.

“Uncle Luo, is this the superior Mingqian Longjing tea?”

Wen Luo didn’t answer.

In the beginning, when his adoptive Old Master Yu was alive in Yangzhou, he gave him a lot of monthly money, and he also had some properties, so his income was not low. However, when in other people’s homes, it was always right to keep a low profile. Even when drinking tea, Wen Luo only drank very ordinary ones.

But now, since he had become independent, he had been doing business openly and honestly and no longer rely on others. Naturally, he could follow his own preferences, and no longer depend on that Yu person…
