Chapter Ninety-Eight: Qi II

Jin Daniu no longer has the joy of entering a big family in his heart, only a stomach full of grievances, carved beams and paintings, what about ten steps and a pavilion, five steps and a pavilion, after all, it is not theirs, he thought in his heart that Su Xiujin was also a big lady at the beginning, this should have seen a lot, sure enough, he turned his eyes and saw that Su Xiujin looked at his nose and nose, and his nose looked at his heart, and there was no surprise in his eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info From the high bed soft pillow to the thatched hut and small room, Rao is situation is much better now, Jin Daniu always felt that Su Xiujin was suffering when he compared it in his heart. He looked at Su Xiujin with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

The soft sedan chair walked around, and Su Xiujin and Jin Da Niu walked for half an hour before they reached a small hall.

Su Xiujin was also not polite, pulled Jin Da Niu and the two to sit down, and waited for a while and a half, and there was no maid to serve tea and snacks, Su Xiujin's heart was cold.

After a long time, when Su Xiujin could see the flowers coming from the porcelain vase on the table, there was a sound of thin ropes outside.

"Second master, you slow down."

"It's up to you." The voice was clear, with a hint of laziness.

Ruyan is a pair of white jade boots decorated with fingernail-sized pearls, dark purple soft cloth brocade robe, the whole body has no color, only the gold thread is rolled up, and a piece of clear white jade is worth a lot of money around the waist, and a pair of flounder double wear with red thread around the waist is even more rare, and the whole body is rich, Su Xiujin also thought that the legendary second young master of the Qi family was a businessman like Su Fugui, but he didn't want to come to look so handsome.

In his early twenties, he was full of nobility, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and only occasionally with a hint of laziness in his eyes. Qi Er yawned lightly, and Su Xiujin's heart moved, this person was like the Persian cat she raised in her previous life, noble and lazy.

"I thought it was Miss Su Si." Qi Er said lightly, "I don't think I've ever seen this lady before." ”

Su Xiujin handed over the letter, Qi Er saw the familiar font on it, and gently clamped the envelope with two fingers.

He took it apart and glanced at it, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"This girl, who is calculating, casually said kind words, which is serious."

Su Xiujin raised her eyebrows and stepped forward and said, "There is a lot of trouble, the second son of Qi asks for forgiveness." ”

Qi Er was just looking at the "poor and sour" two people in front of him. Su Xiujin was dressed in a pale cyan coarse cloth shirt, her head was full of green silk neatly coiled behind her head, there was no bead on her head, and she had a small and delicate face, although her beauty was only half that of Su Xiuyuan, but her temperament didn't look like a merchant girl at all, and a rough man next to her looked like her husband, looking at Su Xiujin, this rough man glared at him unceremoniously.

Qi Er secretly said in his heart that it was funny, sat down lazily, and handed the jade in his hand to the little guy.

"What's the matter with the two of you? I can afford to give 1,800 taels of silver for Su Si's sake, if I am asked to find you a job, the house can also give you a place. ”

Su Xiujin hurriedly shook his head.

"The second son of Qi misunderstood, this time, my husband and wife don't ask for money, and they don't ask for position, they just ask for a business route for us."

"Trade routes?" Qi Eryi raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised, "You want to do business?" ”

Jin Da Niu Su Xiujin glanced at each other: "Please also ask the second son of Qi to help me, I will be grateful in the future." ”

Qi Ermei's eyes were full of smiles, and he said to his little servant: "Bird, listen, they asked me to give them a trade route." ”

Que'er sneered and said, "Master, I can understand it, these two are just afraid that they don't know the Spring and Autumn Period." ”

Su Xiujin sank his face: "The second son of Qi may not be able to give it, and we are not unreasonable." ”

Qi Er sat upright: "Do you know what my "trade route" refers to? ”

"The Qi family is still half black and half white, I have inquired, the Qi family is now the young master of Qi in charge, specializing in silk, jewelry, spices, this is a clean business, as for this black, the Qi family only has three sons-in-law, except for the young Qi third son, there is only the outside world rumored to be the second son of Qi who never cares about you, if you don't go ****, how can the Qi family hide people's eyes and ears, and it will gain a foothold in Suzhou City in just a few decades."

Qi Er squinted at Su Xiujin, and his whole person was full of danger.

"I can look at Su Si's face and ask the eldest brother to give you a silk or spice road, but this matter, Mrs. is still rotten in her heart."

Su Xiujin met Qi Er's gaze without fear.

"Don't hide it from the son, our husband and wife are also running a little business now, although they are not as rich as the second young master Qi, but they can be regarded as having food and clothing. If you are doing spice and silk business, it is just another small business of trivial matters, rich and dangerous, and please ask the second young master Qi not to hide his secrets. ”

Qi Er suddenly laughed, and his whole body trembled slightly.

"You are very similar to Su Si, but Su Si doesn't have the courage to follow me to do business, so he can only guard the Agarwood Pavilion, and now he is married to the Ouyang family, and he is also the dead fish eyeball, so he is not angry at all."

"It's okay if you follow me to do business, but I'm going to test you, and if you can answer it, I'll give you a deal."

Su Xiujin raised her eyebrows slightly: "You say." ”

"According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, any smuggling and concealment of prohibited goods in the imperial court should be sentenced to at least several years."

Su Xiujin said without thinking: "The weight is more than eighty catties, ranging from more than ten years, three to ten years below eighty catties, and the value is more than one hundred taels, ranging from more than ten years, less than one hundred taels, and one to ten years." ”

A hint of appreciation flashed in Qi Er's eyes.

"The Great Zhou Statute, how to convict an accomplice who repeats the offense?"

"If it is heavy, the house will be raided, the master and accessory will be beheaded, and the lighter one will have all the money confiscated and exiled for three thousand miles."

Qi Er played with a folding fan, and didn't even raise his eyelids: "In this way, does Madam still have the courage to do this deal?" ”

The corners of Su Xiujin's mouth hooked slightly: "If I didn't have the guts, my husband and wife would not have entered this door." ”

Qi Er opened the folding fan, with a lazy smile on his face: "What courage!" Then guess what kind of business I'm doing, ma'am. ”

Su Xiujin looked at his dress and said with a smile: "It will not be a smuggling of jade, jade has a very low profit in recent years, and the rich and noble are now turning from antiquesβ€”β€”"

Qi Er looked at her with a smile.

"Nowadays, there are only a few profitable trades in Suzhou, black antiques, nanmu and mahogany, and then Wushisan and Dayan..."

"And there's private salt!"

Qi Er's smile became thicker and thicker: "You're right. We are all involved in these businesses. He didn't seem to be worried that Su Xiujin would expose him.

"But the main thing is private salt. I heard that private salt is prevalent in Suzhou, and even the surrounding towns and villages are secretly buying private salt, and there are a few big families in Suzhou who can afford private salt, the Zhao family, the Qian family, and the original Su family, and the rest is your Qi family. The Zhao family is mainly in the timber and garment business, and if you want to choose, it is also Nanmu and mahogany, the main ticket number of the Qian family, and they have always been very good at secretly laundering money and evading taxes, and the Su family was overturned, and the only thing left was the Qi family. ”

Qi Er was a little admired: "Madam, you are very smart. ”

"If Childe can trust us, why don't you give us a deal?"

Qi Er thought for a while, asked the little guy to get the account book, and picked it for a long time.

"Three days later, there is a deal from Jinzhou to Suzhou, and now the official road is very tight, if you can transport this batch of goods to Suzhou safely, I will choose to believe you once."

Su Xiujin's fingers moved slightly: "How many catties?" ”

Qi Er raised his eyebrows: "Eighty pounds." ”

This just happens to be the standard of heavy punishment, and Qi Er is trying her.

"Good. We will be sure to deliver it on time. ”

Qi Er got up and explained the simple process of receiving and receiving.

"After the matter is completed, the commission is two hundred taels, paid in cash." (To be continued.) )
