Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but look at the person who shouted.

I saw that the person who shouted was in his early twenties, wearing a beautiful blue coarse cloth short brown, and was tall, although he could not see his face clearly because he was too far away, he was very sensitive in his gestures.

Hearing Qin Ziping's answer, he immediately ran over, stood on the shore and saluted respectfully towards the bow of the boat, and said loudly: "I am a guy from Jiaxing Fangji Silk Cloth Village, our owner is purchasing goods in Changzhou, I heard that the fourth master and the old lady of the Cheng family are passing by Changzhou, and they specially ordered me to wait here, and the fourth master and the old lady went back to him as soon as they arrived......"

As he was talking, a fat man wearing a blue lake silk jacket wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and ran over shaking his fat flesh while shaking, and said, "I don't know what this little brother is called?" I am Du Ming, the big shopkeeper of Fangji Silk Cloth Village, and our owner will come over soon, and I will ask my little brother to pass it on my behalf. ”

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Qin Zi'an.

Qin Zi'an said with a smile: "It turned out to be the shopkeeper and buddy of Master Du's family in Jiaxing. Wait a minute, I'll go to our family's fourth master and old lady. ”

Zhou Shaojin already understood when he heard this.

If she is not mistaken, Jiaxing Fangji Silk Village should be the industry of Fang Xintong, the richest man in Jiaxing.

She thought of the elegant lady of the Fang family.

Another year has passed, and the eldest lady of the Fang family has also grown by one year, I don't know if the eldest lady of the Fang family is married?

She thought about it, closed the window of the boat, and instructed the Spring Festival Gala and others: "The fourth master has guests, and maybe he will come on the boat to greet the old lady later, don't walk around." ”

The Spring Festival Gala and others should all be.

After a while, she heard the sound of Hoho's footsteps coming from the deck.

Zhou Shaojin is even more closed.

It wasn't until Mama Lu came over to invite her to dinner that she followed Mrs. Guo's cabin.

Cheng Chi is also there.

Old Madam Guo's expression was a little displeased, but Cheng Chi was as usual. Seeing Zhou Shaojin coming in, he even smiled and nodded at Zhou Shaojin. But such an ordinary and simple act somehow touched Mrs. Guo, who suddenly burst into tears and choked up: "Shiro, are you out of office?" You don't care about the mess in the house, go and live your own little life. Fang Xintong is just a little showman, he actually dares to make a show for you, and he doesn't look at what he is, can he ...... it?"

"Mother, mother," Cheng Chi stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Guo's shoulders and comforted her mother in a low voice, "It's not as strict as you said." They just said a few things that made you uncomfortable to listen to. Unless it is locked up at home for a lifetime, how can people not listen to some wronged words and suffer some wronged anger in this life. Don't worry about me. I know my business. As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Shaojin and said, "Look, there are juniors here, you are going to frighten her like this." ”

Mrs. Guo finally stopped her tears when she listened.

Zhou Shaojin thought that he couldn't avoid it anyway, so he simply took out a handkerchief and handed it to Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo took Pa Wu and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to Zhou Shaojin: "Good boy, I'm in a bad mood today, so I won't have dinner together." Whatever you want to eat, let the kitchen cook it for you. Tomorrow morning you will come and recite the sutra to me. ”

Zhou Shaojin obediently responded "yes" and returned to the house with the Spring Festival Gala.

The Spring Festival Gala was holding Zhou Shaojin's dinner, but Zhou Shaojin was thinking about Fang Xintong.

Last time, when the ancestor of the second room was on his 80th birthday, the Fang family also went to pay homage to the ancestor of the second room, and the two families should have a good relationship even if they are not good friends. Why did Mrs. Guo dare so much this time?

She hastily ate dinner and went to find Jihotaru.

Hotaru was standing in the middle of the cabin with her legs slightly apart, twisting her body back and forth.

"Can you help me ask Qin Ziping," Zhou Shaojin said straightforwardly, "See if he knows what Fang Xintong said to Old Madam Guo and Fourth Master Cheng?" Why is Mrs. Guo so angry! ”

"Okay!" Ji Hotaru replied casually.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but push her and said, "You are serious." It's a big deal. ”

"I know, I know." Ji Hotaru hurriedly said, "You can wait for my good news tomorrow." ”

Zhou Shaojin wanted to ask Cheng Chi, but when she thought of Cheng Chi's expression just now, she obviously didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she had to go back to the cabin with a heavy heart.

Before dawn the next day, Ji Cocoon came to look for her and said, "The Du Tongxin you said, the fourth master didn't see him at all." It was he who chattered in front of the old lady for a long time, saying that the two families were world friends, and the fourth master wanted to buy a loom in Hangzhou, and he intended to take it down, but in those days, the stall was too big, and the silver could not be turned over for a while, so he did not dare to talk to the fourth master about buying a loom. A few days ago, he just took over the errand of Jiaxing Mansion to weave tribute for the inner palace, who knew that the loom was not enough, and wanted to take this opportunity to ask the fourth master if there was any extra loom in his hand, so that the fourth master could find a way to give him an average point. ”

That sounds normal!

Why is Mrs. Guo sad?

Zhou Shaojin was very confused.

Ji Ying quietly told her: "Our fourth master has done a great thing - he thinks the loom is too troublesome, so he sold several weaving yards under the name of the Cheng family. Before that, the fourth master asked Huai Shan to greet the Fang family first, and the businessman was profitable, and the Fang family actually bargained with Cheng Ye! The fourth master sold all the looms to a man named Zheng Si in a fit of anger. That Zheng Si was originally from the grassroots, and this kind of thing of weaving tribute to the imperial court naturally can't talk about him. But he has a loom and a weaver in his hands! Du Tongxin didn't take over the work of the official office, it is good to say, he took over the work of the official office with the scale of the Fang family weaving factory, but if it is divided to others, Zheng Si is now the largest weaving factory in Jiangnan, and he has the best weaver in Jiangnan, he wants to bypass Zheng Si, then wait until the time comes, and he can't hand over something to lose money! But if he gave the job to Zheng Si, it would be equivalent to taking a job for Zheng Si, and Zheng Si not only didn't have to be grateful to him, but he could also bargain with Fang Xin at will...... He's here to be soft. Who knew that Mrs. Guo heard it but felt that he slapped the fourth master, and now she knows that something bad is happening, and the weasel greets the chicken, and she doesn't have a good heart......"

It's complicated!

Zhou Shaojin told Ji Ying for a long time, "Don't run around outside, be careful to let the people of the Cao Gang find out", and the two dispersed. square

As a result, early the next morning, first that Zheng Si rushed over from Hangzhou Mansion, and then the eldest lady of the Fang family wanted to get on the boat to greet Mrs. Guo.

Zhou Shaojin was speechless, and said to the Spring Festival Gala in private: "Who said that it is easy for businessmen, I don't think it is easy for them to make money!" ”

The Spring Festival Gala said with a smile: "Fortunately, that Zheng Si came by himself, if he brought his wife to kowtow to our old landers, wouldn't the two families collide together." ”

"So what?" Zhou Shaojin sighed, "Look at the eldest lady of the Fang family, such an elegant person, for his brother, can he stand on the deck and blow the wind for half an hour, see Zheng Si's wife, and greet Zheng Si's wife, what's so difficult!" ”

When the eldest lady of the Fang family came to visit, Mrs. Guo excused herself that she was about to leave, so she was not entertained. Who knew that she would be able to stay on the pier all the time, saying that she would not return to the temple until the Cheng family's boat was far away.

As a result, Mrs. Guo asked her to stand there blowing the cold wind.

Zheng Si came to see Cheng Chi, but Cheng Chi didn't see him, and even used the same excuse as Mrs. Guo to hang Zheng Si on the dock.

Looking at the rising sun, Zhou Shaojin opened the window and looked outside.

The eldest lady of the Fang family was still standing on the dock, but Zheng Si was nowhere to be seen.

"Sure enough, it's a businessman." Zhou Shaojin muttered a few words and went to accompany Mrs. Guo to breakfast.

Mrs. Guo had already regained her calm, she smiled and asked Zhou Shaojin if she had slept well yesterday, and made pickle buns in the kitchen, let her taste it if it was delicious, and did not mention what happened yesterday evening.

Zhou Shaojin also seemed to have forgotten about it, and talked to Mrs. Guo with a smile.

The boat started slowly.

Zhou Shaojin found an opportunity to look out the window and saw Miss Fang, who was standing on the dock a little dazed and watching the boat drift away.

She sighed in her heart, a little despised Fang Xintong.

Solve the things you do by yourself, what is the matter with pushing the eldest lady of the Fang family out like this?

This thought is only hidden in the bottom of my heart.

In the evening, they stayed on a small pier called Yiqiao, which was more than 100 miles away from Changzhou, and Zheng Si asked to see Cheng Chi.

Zhou Shaojin was stunned.

She didn't expect Zheng Si to chase after her all the way.

But Cheng Chi still didn't see him.

Zheng Si left disappointed.

They crossed Wuxi safely all the way to Suzhou.

Zhou Shaojin follows Cheng Chi to watch chess games every day and gets along well with Cheng Chi.

Her courage grew. told Cheng Chi: "I promised to bring Tuyi back to my grandmother, aunt and sister, and when we get to Hangzhou Mansion, can we go shopping in the streets?" I've heard people say that there are a lot of things in Hangzhou, only you don't know, and there is nothing you can't buy......"

After Cheng Chi finished talking about a few chess moves, he went with Zhou Shaojin to ponder on his own, and he took a book to read on the side.

He raised his head when he heard this, and said, "It's not too late for us to buy it when we go back, lest we get all the things you bought." ”

Zhou Shaojin thought about the long list of orders drawn up in front of the door, and his ears were hot.

Cheng Chi instructed Huaishan: "You go and tell the boatman, we will not dock in Jiaxing Mansion, but directly in Hangzhou Mansion." ”

Zhou Shaojin counted the days and said, "Are we going to stay in Hangzhou Mansion for a few days?" ”

"Let's go directly to Jintuo Mountain." Cheng Chi said with a smile: "Let's go and see the tide of the Qiantang River when we go back!" ”

And so it goes!

Zhou Shaojin smiled embarrassedly.

But Cheng Chi underestimated the resilience of Fang and Zheng.

They soon chased to Hangzhou Mansion.

Zhou Shaojin said: "Is it really impossible to see them? Wouldn't it be too good! ”

Cheng Chi sometimes felt that Zhou Shaojin's flags made him not interested in taking a second look, and he didn't know where to take out the chessboard, and when he was tired of reading, he would occasionally put on an endgame to try to continue playing. He was playing chess at this point. After listening to Zhou Shaojin's words, he didn't raise his head, and said, "Can I get Zheng Si to return the loom and weaver to me?" If you can't, what are you doing with them? And it doesn't solve the problem! I don't have the time to listen to them arguing! ”

Zhou Shaojin listened, thoughtful.
