Master Song is less than forty years old, his face is red and black, and his hands are rough. He completely relied on his own hands to make pottery kilns, self-made, so his face left too much experience of hard work, at this time the younger generation greeted him, he also cheered up and smiled, and because Zhao Yanheng and Li Fei walked side by side, Master Song saw that he was wearing a moon-white dark silver line robe, wearing a crown and jade, handsome appearance, and extraordinary bearing, but he treated him with the heart of his peers, and bowed his hand.

Zhao Yanheng immediately returned the salute, and introduced himself seriously: "The surname is Zhao Ming, the word Chubi, who sold some medicinal materials from Huguang, and now lives next door to the Li family. ”

"Where, where, Zhao Gongzi has already compensated for a brand new saddle harness......"

The two of them talked, and now Li Fei knew Zhao Yanheng's thoughts, and he also knew how the Song family's carriage and his carriage collided together, and he really didn't want to hear this, so he walked a few steps behind and Song Duofu.

Song Duofu said curiously: "Fei Fei, why did you walk with him and still appear in Chengjiang?"

"There's something that bothers him. Li Fei didn't want to talk about it.

Song Duofu and Li Fei walked slowly, and the people in front of them widened the distance, Song Duofu said earnestly: "I saw a peach-colored jade doll's jade pendant hanging on his waist last time, the doll hands and feet seem to be shrunken in the mother's body, it is used by Baoquan Temple to worship and ask for children to keep safe, and let the woman wear it after the family holds the blessing, asking the man to get the man, the woman to get the woman, and the size is safe." My mother had one, and my father begged for it. ”

The businessman who traveled south and north looked handsome and had a good bearing, but unfortunately he didn't know the roots, Song Duofu said this, which was to warn Li Fei that this Zhao Gongzi might have a wife.

"You misunderstood, I ...... him" Li Fei was about to say, talking to Master Song, but Zhao Yanheng, who was thinking behind him, turned around and said: "Miss Song misunderstood, I don't have a wife yet." If I had a wife, I wouldn't dare to say that I was still a good age. The jade pendant is for my mother, my mother is not in good health, and she has an heir, I ask for peace of mind. ”

Zhao Yanheng only said the first six words to Song Duofu, and then his eyes moved to Li Fei, his eyes were clear and bright, and a cluster of fire light ignited from the depths of his eyes.

Li Fei avoided looking at Zhao Yanheng in general, such an atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Mrs. Song gently slapped her daughter, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, how do you talk nonsense, Zhao Gongzi don't mind." ”

Song Duofu stuck out his tongue.

Zhao Yanheng still looked at Li Fei with burning and said, "Don't mind, in fact, I am also looking for an opportunity to explain this misunderstanding." ”

In this life, Zhao Yanheng is not married yet, how much Zhao Yanheng wants to tell Li Fei about this matter in person.

Li Fei was finally forced to look up by Zhao Yanheng's persistence, but quickly moved away and said separately from Mrs. Song: "Aunt Song, I want to go back to the front inn, and I will go back to Kunming after settling the bill today." ”

"We're also going to the inn for a break. Mrs. Song said with a depressed expression: "It just so happens that I also have something to ask Miss Li for help." ”

Li Fei looked at Song Duofu, Song Duofu looked like he was crying, if Li Fei remembered correctly, Song Duofu's fiancé was from Chengjiang, the Xu family was in Chengjiang Mansion, and the Song family went to the guest house in the morning.

Li Fei had this doubt and walked to Mrs. Song's side.

Mrs. Song asked, "When will your mother come back?" ”

Li Fei said with a smile: "In February this year, my second sister got married, so my mother wants to stay in Jinling for a few more days, and there should be 20 days on the agenda." ”

Mrs. Song's face was embarrassed, and she pretended to be as usual: "That's the case, the porcelain that your family asked for calcination in January this year has been fired, if it is convenient for your family, come and inspect it." ”

After the inspection, if the calcination is successful according to the requirements, the Li family will of course carry the porcelain away, and then settle the wages to the Song family. This is the Song family's urging for this salary again, and Li Fei also responded on the spot: "That's okay, I'll go back today, when you go back to Kunming, I'll bring someone to check it." ”

Mrs. Song said gratefully: "Then admit it." ”

This is a polite remark in the mall, and Li Fei can also say a few polite words: "Our two families have been cooperating for seven or eight years, and I can trust the porcelain calcined by the Song family." ”

The meaning of this is that the Song family can't even wait for twenty days, and wants to collect the payment back, Zhao Yanheng made a modest appearance and asked, "Master Song seems to have encountered a setback, but he has encountered trouble in business?"

Doing business, there are losses and gains, relying on vision, wealth, courage, and experience, experience has success and failure, become a lesson from this, defeat with this as a warning, this is learning.

Li Fei also showed interest, the Song family has been operating steadily for so many years, and this is the first time that the loss has urged the Li family to settle their wages.

"It's a long story. ”

Zhao Yanheng claimed that he was in the medicinal materials business, and there was no invasion of the Song family's porcelain business, and the Song family was very willing to confide in this junior, but the Song master was holding back a breath of depression, the women in the family were not used, and the son was only two years old, and he really needed an object to confide in.

As soon as Master Song entered the inn, he opened his mouth and called for wine.

Mrs. Song hurriedly stopped: "Master, take care." ”

was unhappy, and Master Song's face showed a gloomy color, Zhao Yanheng had already called a table of one or two silver seats, and said with a smile: "Today I am the east, there is wine and food, please Song Jiahe...... Miss Lee. ”

Zhao Yanheng is a drunkard, he doesn't mean to drink, he simply doesn't want Li Fei to return to Kunming so soon.

Song Duofu seemed to have been greatly wronged, holding Li Fei's hand, reluctant to give up, so Li Fei realized what Zhao Yanheng meant, and he couldn't bear to leave his good friend alone.

The banquet is placed in a stilted wooden house in the inn, the wooden house is surrounded by irises, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, the colors are wrong, like a rainbow surrounding the wooden house, during which colorful butterflies dance among the flowers, but no one is in the mood to appreciate this exquisiteness.

Master Song lost two orders of business in a row.

The first order was a porcelain business of 3,000 taels.

This should start from a year ago, a year ago, there was a merchant named Hu Zhen in Chengjiang Mansion, who used his family property as a guarantee to take porcelain worth 3,000 taels from Master Song, saying that he wanted to sell this batch of porcelain to Wusi Zang, and when he came back with the money, he would deliver the money to the Song family, and calculate two cents of interest, totaling 3,600 taels. Master Song thought that 3,000 taels would become 3,600 taels a year, and Hu Zhen also had a mortgage on his family property, so he had the courage to buy this batch of porcelain on credit.

Now a year has passed, the surnamed Hu is at home to drink and take concubines, he has the money to take concubines and concubines, but he did not come first to repay the three thousand six hundred taels of silver owed to the Song family, and Master Song came to the door many times to ask for it, but Hu Zhen did not admit the account. And the Hu Zhen family property that was mortgaged before was not Hu Zhen's at all, but a person named Qi Songnian, who was good friends with Hu Zhen.

This is the partnership between Qi Songnian and Hu Zhen to make a bureau. Hu Zhen took Qi Songnian's family property and bought a batch of porcelain on credit from Master Song, no one knows whether this batch of porcelain was sold to Wusizang, it may be sold cheaply everywhere, and the silver obtained was divided between the two of them, and Master Song couldn't take Qi Songnian's family property, and the mortgage was invalid. To make it clear, this is a partnership between Hu Zhen and Qi Songnian, who made a transaction without capital, and how much money they sold for three thousand taels of porcelain was earned by them, and it was lost to Master Song. You want silver?

It was Lao Tzu who owed the money, and Master Song wanted to spit out the swallowed silver from Hu Zhen's mouth, no way!

Yesterday, Mr. Song came to Chengjiang, not to ask Hu Zhen to collect debts, but to find Xu Zhonglian to write a lawsuit, and Mr. Song decided to sue the official. And this Xu Zhonglian, who has a talent and fame, is the quasi-son-in-law of Master Xu, Song Duofu had a marriage contract with him when he was thirteen years old, and the two will soon get married.

Hearing this, Li Fei finally knew where Song Duofu's grievances were.

Xu Zhonglian was reluctant to write the complaint.

Why?

The Song family lived in the Xu family last night, and today because of this incident, the two families quarreled, and Master Song's face was as ugly as swallowing a piece of: "The reason why the two of them are so arrogant is that I only found out afterwards, the mother-in-law of Qi Songnian's family, and the eldest son of the governor, ......."

At this point, you can already know what it means.

The nephew of the eunuch Qian Tong, the son of Zhou Yuanji, the governor of Yunnan, these two are hungry ghosts in color, and the smell is the same, but the smell is a little different, a good twenty-eight girl, a good charming wife.

Mrs. Song couldn't help but scold angrily: "What a thing, a half-opened prodigal, the governor's eldest son is just a prostitute." ”

Zhao Yanheng observed Li Fei and saw that Li Fei listened calmly.

Li Fei turned his head consciously, and smiled warmly at Zhao Yan: "Zhao Gongzi, the Li family is no longer a famous scholarly family, and I am not a pampered young lady, such a dirty thing, not only do I know, but our family must also beware of such a trap." The merchant, with one eye on the buying and selling market, and the other eye on the villain of the government, stepped on the stinky ditch without seeing clearly. ”

Master Song nodded with deep sympathy.

Zhao Yanheng shook his head and said, "It's not something I can manage. ”

He is the king of Xiang, not the emperor, looking at the eldest brother and second brother in front, it is not easy for them to be princes.

Li Fei was noncommittal, and turned to the second elder of the Song family and said: "Zhou Xi treats women, that's if you use it, you can throw it away." This matter is just the other party pulling the tiger skin to pull the banner, if you don't feel sorry for the silver, you can fight for a breath back. ”

Zhou Xi is Zhou Yuanji's son. Li Fei's identity is embarrassing, and the benefits are also good, and people from the upper and lower levels can access it.

"Yes, three thousand taels of silver, the official word has two mouths, if you have money or not, don't come in, don't you sue the official for the silver to get out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth, spit out from the mouth of Hu Qi Songnian to the mouth of the prefect of Qian. Mrs. Song said with a painful face. She just felt sorry for the silver, and before her husband opened his mouth to the Xu family yesterday, he was also opposing the lawsuit.

Master Song looked at his old wife like this, and said with a deeper and deeper face: "The three thousand taels of silver are seeing that they are going to come back, since I don't want to come back, I have to listen to the sound, I have to insist this time, I don't know if I don't open my mouth, and I don't know when I open my mouth, Xu Zhonglian is really an ungrateful person." ”
