Zhu Fei didn't seem to notice his coldness, only smiled lightly, and said casually: "It turns out that there is no contact." It's just that you also know that Shu has always been barren, and our Shu Wangfu has managed Shu for many years, and it is really impossible to make ends meet. It would be great if I could get the light of the bosses today and make more money on this downwind boat. Just buy some head jewelry for my Xue Ji and Yu Ji, and they can only dress up as men with me, a master who has no money, don't you say? ”

When Xue Ji and Yu Ji heard this, they covered their mouths and giggled, and then blessed together, and said: What the prince said is very true, Xue Ji (Yu Ji) thanked the prince in advance. ”

If Zhu Yi and Guo Chenghe, who have already seen his extravagance, hear it, they will definitely laugh three times to show their disdain.

After greeting everyone, Pu Yan and the brothers he brought with him each found a chair and sat down, and immediately a maid brought them a fruit plate and fragrant tea. A few of them were already thirsty after walking for a long time, so they immediately picked up a few sips of fragrant tea and drank it.

Although Pu Yan didn't know the details of Zhu Fei, he also didn't see the scene that night, when Xue Ji didn't agree with a word, she almost smashed the green yiqin worth 10,000 gold. Of course, he didn't know that the Piaoxiang Building, which was making money every day, was just the private property of one of his servants.

Pu Yan still subconsciously frowned and said to Boss Long: "Boss Long, there is no Shu Wangfu in the few shops we talked about before. Now that my gang has forty empty cargo ships, how can I get this? ”

A smile appeared on the Maitreya Buddha-like face of the dragon boss and explained: "Don't blame the Pu Helm Master. In fact, we have already talked about it in private. Originally, each of our households was to charter ten cargo ships, but now that the Shu Wangfu also wants to have fun, we decided to let two cargo ships come out of each household. So we'll have eight cargo ships per household. The prince of Shu is also eight cargo ships, and the total is still forty cargo ships, so there is no problem at all. ”

"Now that you've all discussed it, I don't have any opinion." Pu Yan frowned and said, "Then according to the rules, I will inspect your goods first, and then come to negotiate the freight." ”

Because the goods transported are different. So the shipping cost is also different. If it is to transport porcelain, gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin and other valuables. Then the shipping cost will definitely be higher. Because once there is wear and tear on the road, the Cao Gang has to pay their own money to accompany the merchants. If you are transporting grain, lacquerware, bronze and other daily necessities that should not be damaged, the freight is relatively cheaper.

"Shipping costs are non-negotiable. I'm ready on behalf of all the merchants here. Boss Long clapped his hands with a smile.

I saw everyone Cui who was originally sitting on the stage. With a shy smile, she held a wooden box in front of her with both hands. walked down from the stage lightly and gracefully, and then put his hands in front of Pu Yan.

Pu Yan took the wooden box in Cui's hand in surprise, opened it and saw that there was actually a stack of thick silver tickets inside. All of them are 1,000 taels per piece, and if you look at it roughly, there are at least 50,000 taels.

Even if these forty cargo ships were carrying porcelain, they would not need so much freight. Pu Yan frowned. Quietly covered the wooden box and put it on the table next to it. asked, "What does Boss Long mean by this?" ”

Boss Long said with a smile: "Of course, it is the freight of this batch of goods, and please don't be too little." ”

"It's not a lot, it's too much." Pu Yan sighed and said, "Please also ask Boss Long to tell me the truth, what kind of goods do you want our Cao Gang to transport?" ”

"Salt." Boss Long said without changing his face: "In addition to salt, what else is worth our high freight?" In the past, when we cooperated with Lord Sun Helm, we would give him two or thirty thousand taels of silver for forty ships of private salt. Master Pu Helm, your price is twice as high as Lord Sun Helm. Of course, the money is yours and your brothers. On the bright side, we will also give another one according to the price of grain, so that you can pay for the public. I don't know what Pu Duo thinks? ”

Before Pu Yan could speak, the Cao Gang brothers who came in with him suddenly made an uproar. When Sun Yuan gained power, like Pu Yan, they were all rough people who buried their heads in work. They may not have seen so many silver tickets in their lives, and some of them are already starting to get excited!

Pu Yan showed a trace of hesitation on his face, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "But I heard that the imperial court is now severely cracking down on the fleet of smuggling and selling smuggled salt, the horse team and the shops, once caught, they will all be punished with capital punishment. I have no background, no money, if I am caught, I am afraid that it will be a dead end! ”

This box of silver tickets Dragon Boss did not give it to him privately, but chose to take it out in front of all the Cao Gang disciples, using a discord strategy. Although Pu Yan looked rough, his scheming should not be underestimated, and he had already guessed Boss Long's plan in this lightning flash. At the same time, he noticed that some of the brothers he had brought with him were already moved. This is very bad for him. So he couldn't refuse in person, so he could only use a delaying tactic to temporarily stabilize them.

"You don't have to worry about that." The dragon boss said arrogantly: "Let's not mention that the prince of Shu who is sitting here is a real royal prince and nobleman, that is, our four bosses, all of whom are supported by big people you don't expect." No matter how severely the imperial court suppresses it, it will definitely not suppress us. This is a golden rice bowl that can't be broken, it depends on whether you are willing to hold it. ”

Pu Yan's swarthy face trembled, he showed a meaningful smile, and said: "I don't know which big names are behind the bosses, can Boss Long tell each other a word or two, so that Pu can also be relieved." ”

Boss Long's white fat face showed a hint of vigilance, and he said with a smile: "This, Master Pu Helm doesn't need to know for the time being." All you have to do is get paid for it. And also. Boss Long pointed to the charming Cui family and said: "Cui family is both beautiful and artistic, and he is knowledgeable and interesting. The most rare thing is that she is still a Qing museum. My master knows that there is only one wife, one concubine and two daughters in the Pu Duo master's family, so he is a little quieter. It's better to let this Cui family go to the house to be a concubine who makes a bed and folds quilts, maybe there will be a chance to give you a big fat boy, what do you think? ”

The white and tender cheeks of the Cui family suddenly turned red with shame. More radiant. She bowed to Pu Yan Yingying, and said timidly: "Please also ask Master Pu to have mercy." ”

Pu Yan frowned and looked at Cui and everyone carefully, and saw that she was smiling like a flower. His eyes looked at himself like water. Unexpectedly, there was infinite joy, and there seemed to be no trace of unwillingness. Coupled with her flower-like face and graceful posture, it is really fascinating.

Seeing Pu Yan staring intently at Cui's family, the corners of Boss Long's mouth twitched disdainfully, and then showed a smug and reserved smile.

Under Pu Yan's eagle-like gaze, Cui everyone pursed their lips. The flush on his cheeks increased. She smiled shyly, lowered her eyes with affection, and said coquettishly: "Master Pu Helm." Why do you look at people so much? ”

Pu Yan sighed and said, "Sure enough, it's much better looking than my tigress, and it's also much more knowledgeable." ”

Did he say yes? Cui's eyes trembled slightly, and they seemed to be a little excited. I saw her full of blessings. Man Sheng said: "Thank you" Before she could say the word Xianggong, Pu Yan raised his hand to stop him: "Cui, don't be in a hurry to change your words, I only ask you a few words, and please tell me the truth?" ”

Cui pursed her red lips, she tilted her head, and said puzzledly: "I don't know if Master Pu has any other questions to ask?" ”

Pu Yan looked at her seriously and asked, "You are both beautiful and artistic, not only have you made everyone's name. He still retains his innocence. must want to marry into the Gaomen Mansion, or find a handsome talent. For example, such a noble figure as the prince of Shu. seems to be worthy of Cui's talents. ”

Cui smiled slightly, she fanned her long eyelashes, and said faintly: "What Lord Pu Helm said is just the opinion of ordinary people. But I'm different, what I've admired most since I was a child are those heroes and heroes who are happy in the rivers and lakes. A hero like Pu Helm is the husband in my heart. She said this with a lot of affection.

The corners of Pu Yan's mouth hooked, revealing a sarcastic smile. He said lightly: "I'm really ashamed, I'm just a rough man who has been drifting on the water all year round, and I really can't afford the word hero in Cui's mouth." ”

Cui everyone opened their mouths when they heard this, and they wanted to say something, but Pu Yan preemptively said: "Not only am I not a hero, but I am not at home for ten months a year. The mother-in-law in the family is very fierce, except for the concubine she found herself, other women don't let me look at it at all" Before he finished speaking, the surrounding people immediately burst into laughter. Although everyone Cui also had a flattering smile on their faces, they looked a little stiff, not as sweet as before.

However, Pu Yan didn't seem to hear the ridicule around him, and still stared at the cowardly beauty in front of him with blazing eyes, and continued: "If you take you back without her consent, she will definitely try her best to torture you." For example, let you do all the housework at home, for example, let you weave fishing nets with her, for example, let you go with her to take care of the orphans left behind. Of course, this was not actually torture, because she did it herself every day. At that time, your little face will become rough due to the wind and sun, and these white and tender little hands may not have the opportunity to stroke the qin again, and you can't wear such silk and satin on your body, even so, are you still willing to enter my door to be this little concubine? ”

After Pu Yan finished speaking, the scene fell into a deathly silence. Zhu Fei stopped shaking the fan and sat up straight. Boss Long also withdrew his contemptuous look.

Cui's bright and delicate faces have completely frozen, which is completely different from what the master said before! Of course, she is not really willing to marry such a vulgar man, if she can choose freely, she will definitely choose the handsome and noble prince of Shu.

But the master gave her many promises, including that as long as she entered Pu Yan's door, he would help her get rid of Pu Yan's current wife, and then help her become the head of the house.

Although she doesn't look down on Pu Yan, she rarely knows his identity. But after all, he is the number one person in the Cao Gang, as long as he finds out his heart, and then gets rid of the main mother. Although there will be no glory in the future, wealth is absolutely indispensable. In fact, it is much better than entering those high-gate courtyards and becoming the playthings of the princes and grandchildren.

It's a pity that she didn't have to calculate, but she was still frightened by Pu Yan's cruel words. And Pu Yan was able to say this, which proved that his mind was very sober and he was not confused by his beauty. If beauty, the most beneficial weapon for her, has no effect on Pu Yan at all. Then she really doesn't have the ability to hold Pu Yan and live the life she wants.

Looking at Pu Yan's eagle-like insightful gaze, Cui gradually became desperate, she suddenly covered her face, and two lines of tears leaked out of her fingers. Her soft voice came faintly from between her fingers: "Lord Pu is so ruthless, since you look down on me, you clearly say, why bother to bluff me with this." ”

Pu Yan frowned and shouted: "Don't be so twisted, although I, Pu Yan, am not a hero, but I spit and smash a pit, and never bluff people with lies." Cui everyone only needs to answer me if they are willing to enter my house and live the life of my mother-in-law. ”

Cui is really completely desperate, she really doesn't know how to answer this. Answering yes, that is definitely against her will, she is afraid that she will really be sent to the Pu family by her master to live such an inhuman life. If she answers no, then the image of Qinggao that she has worked so hard to maintain in the past two years will collapse. So she covered her face and pretended to cry, intending to be vague. Who knew that Pu Yan, who was stunned, didn't know that he had pity for the fragrance and cherished the jade, and he had to force him to tell the truth, and he didn't even give her a chance to be vague.

Finally, Cui stomped their feet, didn't say anything, and ran out crying. But Pu Yan still said with a blank face: "She hasn't answered my question yet, why did she run away like this?" If she wants, I'm going to get a sedan chair and carry her back when I go ashore? There are many people working in this house, maybe my tigress will not be angry, but will be very happy. ”

The corners of Boss Long's mouth twitched when he heard this, he really didn't know if this second stunned person was really stupid or fake. But Zhu Fei clapped his palms and laughed wildly: "Exactly, exactly, this son is still waiting for a glass of wine!" Let's go and see, are everyone Cui overjoyed, and they are already crying and marrying there? ”

However, Xue Ji also said crisply and funny: "The prince said again, crying and marrying, but the bride to be married thanks to her parents and elders for their nurturing grace and the care of her brothers and sisters-in-law; Crying about the sadness of the joyful life of girlhood and the confusion and anxiety before the arrival of a new life. There are also outpouring dissatisfaction with marriage, lifelong hatred for matchmakers, and so on. None of this exists for everyone in Cui! ”

"Who said there is no zài?" Yu Ji immediately answered: "Maybe this Cui family is hating the matchmaker's mess for life." After speaking, she also glanced at Boss Long meaningfully.

At this moment, Boss Long's face turned iron-blue, and his white and chubby face almost distorted. (To be continued......)
