While Xiao Li was having fun in Chang'an, Cui Ran also entered Qi County, Shanxi with Wu Chen.

The entire Qi County can basically be seen as a Wang family courtyard. From the county magistrate to the peddler and pawn, no matter who it calls, it has some inexplicable relationship with the Wang family.

No one can tell how many descendants of a family will have for thousands of years. After all, there was no measure of family planning in ancient times.

He took Wu Chen and some servants to find an inn to stay in, and Cui Ran began to prepare for visiting the Wang family’s old house. There are many rules like this, and they cannot be visited by knocking on the door casually.

Lao Cui is also from a noble family. How could he not know the rules here? Not to mention visiting, even the rules for going home are all sets. If you do something bad or wrong, your legs will be light if you are broken.

When he arranged for the servants to vote for a visit, Cui Ran started to toss in the inn, bathing and burning incense, making him extremely pious.

The inn often seems to receive people visiting Wang's old house. All the products are available. As long as Cui Ran can be famous, she will definitely prepare for it in a very short time.

Wu Chendao had an indifferent attitude. Cui Ran asked him to do whatever he asked him to do. After walking in the world for a while, he knew the reason why a strong dragon did not defeat a local snake, let alone Wu Chen was not a strong dragon, but the Wang family was much stronger than a local snake.

Three days, Cui Ran and his group waited in the inn for three days. Three days without leaving the gate, a guy dressed as a servant brought them back: Before tomorrow, the head of the family will receive them personally.

This news made Cui Ran like him. Originally, he didn't expect that he would be surprised to meet the head of the family, but he didn't expect that there would be unexpected joy. Could it be that God gave him a chance when he saw him pitiful?

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, a night has passed.

Cui Ran actually took Wu Chen outside the Wang family's old house after breakfast after dawn, and the time was far earlier than the agreed time.

But even so, when I arrived at the Wang family's old house, I saw that there were already many people waiting outside waiting to post to pay a visit.

Wu Chen's eyes twitched, and he squinted his eyes slightly, thinking that the thousand-year-old family was indeed well-known, and the lively atmosphere in front of the door was no less than that of ordinary prefectures.

But Cui Ran was waiting here so early, where did she put Li Chengqian's face?

It should be noted that Cui Ran came here this time, representing Li Chengqian. He was the crown prince of the country. He was squatting at the gate of a family and waiting to be summoned. He Ti Tong, is the thousand-year-old family really awesome?

But after thinking about it, Wu Chen did not show any dissatisfaction. Li Chengqian instructed him that he only had his eyes and ears on this trip, just follow Cui Ran, and let everything else develop.

Time passed by hour, and Cui Ran and his party ignored it.

It was not until less than a moment that an old servant came out and asked, "Is that Mr. Cui from Chang'an?"

"Cui is here, the old man is polite." Cui Ran was very polite and stepped forward to salute first. Wu Chen even gritted his teeth secretly and thought to himself: Damn this bastard really intends to put the prince's face under his feet and step on it to death.

"Mr. Cui is exempt from the gift!" After returning the gift with great ancient style, the old servant made a hand gesture of inviting him.

Wu Chen didn't know this old servant, but Cui Ran knew that he was the personal servant of the current head of the Cui family. Although he did not have the title of housekeeper or manager, he was deeply trusted by the head of the family. His status in the Wang family is not even worse than those of the illegitimate sons.

In other words, if Cui Ran’s status in the Cui family was placed in the Wang family, this old servant would have a much higher status than him.

Following the old servant, Cui Ran and Wu Chen entered the Wang family's old house. After a long journey, they entered the yard in countless ways, and they were considered to be a quiet courtyard.

But what's so fucking is that Wu Chen was stopped outside the courtyard.

"Let him come in. You have to let him listen to some things, otherwise he will be afraid that he will not be able to explain when he returns." The old servant didn't even look back, but just gave a light command.

"Here!" The two guards at the door responded, took down the horizontal sword in their hands, and compared a hand gesture to Wu Chen.

"I'm afraid this trip is not as simple as visiting me?" In the room, after Cui Ran saw the ceremony, the old man with long beard in brocade clothes and long beard on the first seat slowly spoke.

"Report to the head of the family, this time we are mainly discussing a deal with the mansion on the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Cui Ran replied respectfully.

Although the old man in the main position was not very tall, he was not angry and powerful. His years of mastery of the Thousand-year Age family made him feel an indescribable aura, and his eyes often made Cui Ran tremble.

"But for the charcoal matter?" The old man didn't even look at Cui Ran, but just turned the tea bowl on the table gently.

"That's right." Cui Ran nodded and replied, and then spent about a quarter of an hour to tell Li Chengqian's request for 30% of 70% of the total. Even the matter of the new salt bill that he later explained clearly.

After listening to Cui Ran's narration, the old man was speechless for a long time. Until Wu Chen was a little impatient, he slowly spoke: "My Wang family has agreed to this matter. Someone will come to you to sign a contract in two days."

"Uh, did you agree?" Cui Ran looked up in shock, never expecting that things would be so easy.

The old man glanced at Cui Ran and Wu Chen and continued, "Yes, I agreed. But when you go back, you must make it clear to His Royal Highness the Prince. I want all the salt and charcoal businesses in Shanxi, and no one else is allowed to enter the country."

"Yes, Cui Ran understands." His mind was covered in mud, but Cui Ran still bowed his body to agree.

"Is it very strange?" The old man seemed to suddenly be interested in speaking, turned his head and looked at Cui Ran and asked.

"Yes." Faced with this old fox, Cui Ran did not hide her thoughts at all. It was useless to conceal them. These old things could see everything in your heart from your eyes and the corners of your mouth.

"Where is this little brother?" The old man turned his gaze to Wu Chen.

"It's just a knife." Wu Chen's answer was abrupt and direct.

The old man nodded, expressed his understanding, turned his head to look at Cui Ran and said, "Do you really think that my Wang family is really incompatible with the prince?"

This question is extremely difficult to answer, because Wu Chen's existence, no matter Cui Ran's answer, it will reach Li Chengqian's ears, and the consequences will be unpredictable.

Fortunately, the old guy didn't really want Cui Ran to answer. After asking, he sighed and said, "The prince is very smart, far beyond what you imagined, so I advise you to do things honestly and not always be clever in the morning."

The old man's implication clearly means that Cui Ran squatted outside early in the morning and waited for a clever act. Although it seemed to have damaged the prince's face on the surface, it was actually causing trouble for himself.
