Cui Fengming's ancestral home is Zhejiang, and his ancestors came to Beijing to do silk cloth business during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. At first, he did wholesale trading from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the capital, and traveled between Hangzhou and Beijing for many years, and later simply settled in Beijing and opened a small silk shop on the commercial street in front of the drum tower. The Cui family's silk cloth business has been doing well, but it can't be passed on to Cui Fengming's father's generation. In the early years of the Republic of China, the printed foreign cloth produced by the Japanese was very popular with the people of the capital, and the silk cloth business was much worse than before. Cui Fengming's father saw that he was making money in the foreign cloth business, so he always thought that his silk shop would change to selling foreign cloth in the future. While in the Japanese printed cloth business, he met a businessman named Lu Ping. As soon as the two met, they talked very speculatively, and they became good friends after coming and going.

Cui Fengming's father is called Cui Liangquan, which means loyalty and filial piety. He honors his parents and is good at business. His wife is five or six years older than him, with a strong body, simple and diligent, can do all kinds of work, but she is uneducated, and she is the daughter of a landlord at the foot of Xiangshan. Cui Liangquan didn't like her, but he couldn't disobey his parents' orders, so he married this wife when he was less than twenty. After marriage, he used his wife as a tool for laundry, cooking, and childbirth, and he had no feelings for this woman at all. Outside of business, he spends most of his hobbies eating, drinking, and having fun. The Cui family has been in business for several generations, and the family has a solid background, and Cui Liangquan is an old customer who is willing to spend money in several kilns.

One day, that Lu Ping found Cui Liangquan, he said that he found a beautiful woman in a kiln near Xidan, who was good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and had a good temperament, and it was said that she was once a Gege in the palace. Lu Ping said that he had soaked her a few times, which was really unique! He described it vividly, and Cui Liangquan was itching in his heart, and he went to meet the woman with Lu Ping that night.

Cui Liangquan has the feeling of seeing that beauty late, and the beautiful Miss Jin is not only talented, but also gentle and understanding. After several exchanges, he couldn't let go of Miss Jin. However, Miss Jin can't let him be favored alone, rich and powerful people all ask Miss Jin to accompany him, and sometimes Cui Liangquan has no chance to see Miss Jin with a stack of oceans in his hands. So at the instigation of Lu Ping, Cui Liangquan started the idea of ransom Miss Jin from the kiln to be his little wife.

One day Cui Shuangquan met Miss Jin, and after some warmth, Cui Shuangquan said that he wanted to redeem Miss Jin. After hearing this, Miss Jin fell into his arms, moved to tears. She said that she was from a princely family, and she was originally a golden branch and jade leaf, but she was reduced to red dust because of the corruption of her family and the harm of bad people. The men who went to the brothel to prostitute her were all acting on the spot, just wanting to have fun with her, and only Mr. Cui used his true feelings for her. If Mr. Cui can rescue her from the fire pit, she is willing to repay her by making a cow and a horse for her life. Miss Jin said a lot of sweet words to Cui Liangquan in the clouds, he hugged the beauty in his arms and said, "I'll talk to you bustard about ransom you, and I'll give you as much ransom as you want!" ”

Miss Jin put her hand on Cui Liangquan's neck and asked delicately, "I'm very expensive, how much money do you have?" ”

Cui Liangquan couldn't help laughing when he saw her ask, and he said: "Although my family has been in business for generations, I still have the money to ransom you!" Then in the chat, Cui Liangquan told Miss Jin about what he was going to do with Mr. Tolu from Shanghai, and Miss Jin seemed to be very knowledgeable after hearing that buying and selling Oriental cloth was a lucrative business, and she said that she knew a Japanese prostitute who was specialized in exporting Chinese foreign cloth business, and she could give Cui Liangquan a direct lead line, why let Mr. Lu earn the middle price difference! Hearing Miss Jin say this, Cui Liangquan couldn't help but be overjoyed, he felt that Miss Jin was not only a beauty but also very business-minded, and marrying her home in the future would definitely be a good hand to help him run a cloth shop.

Regarding the ransom of Miss Ransom, the brothel boss set the price at two hundred dollars. Cui Liangquan thought that the ransom was too high, and the bustard said that Miss Jin was the top brand in the brothel, and Cui Liangquan finally admitted the ransom.

Under the guidance of Miss Jin, Cui Liangquan also met with the Japanese businessman, and he negotiated a deal at a very low price, but the Japanese businessman said that the supply price was very low and his profit was too small, so Cui Liangquan could sign a supply contract only if he purchased in large quantities, and each purchase cost more than 1,000 yuan. Cui Liangquan didn't agree to do this at first, and his idea was to try a few small businesses first, not wanting to take too many risks. Japanese businessmen did not want to negotiate business with him when they saw that he was so cautious. Miss Kim was a little unhappy when she learned about this, she complained that Cui Liangquan did not give herself face and offended her Japanese friends, and in a fit of anger she wanted to cut off relations with Cui Liangquan. Cui Liangquan, who was fascinated by Miss Jin, saw that his heart and soul baby was upset by himself, so he hurriedly pulled Miss Jin to find a Japanese businessman, signed a purchase contract according to the Japanese businessman's requirements, and paid a 10% deposit in advance. Miss Jin then turned her anger into joy and said: "Lao Cui, this is actually a good deal, although the purchase volume is large and occupies more than two silver, but because the price of the first-hand goods is very cheap, you can't digest it yourself, you can increase the price and wholesale to other merchants to make money, which is much faster and easier than simply making money in retail, don't you say?" ”

"Yes, or my heart is smart!"

"I've always been thinking about your business, you have made a lot of money, but thank me for being a matchmaker!"

Cui Liangquan happily hugged Miss Jin and said, "In the future, you will be my second wife, and my money will be your money!" Miss Kim was overwhelmed.

Cui Liangquan's wishful thinking is to finish the business first, make a lot of money, and then marry Miss Jin into the door, and Miss Jin will not do it. Ms. Jin said that she had never been to Shanghai before, and she wanted to see what the Ten Mile Ocean Farm was like. She coquettished Cui Liangquan and asked him to redeem himself before going to Shanghai Wharf to pick up the goods, and then take her to Shanghai to pick up the goods and take out to visit Shanghai, Cui Liangquan happily agreed.

After Cui Liangquan received the notice of the Japanese merchant to pick up the goods, he brought two silver tickets, one for ransom and one for purchase. He happily came to the brothel that night to find Miss Jin for the night, and prepared to take Miss Jin to Shanghai the next morning, and Miss Jin happily entertained her. Cui Liangquan looked at the beauty in his hand, thinking about the beautiful scenery of making a fortune, holding a wine cup and drinking wildly, he couldn't help but get drunk, and when he was woken up by the bustard the next day, it was noon.

When Cui Liangquan opened his sleepy eyes, he found himself lying naked on the bed, and he hurriedly wrapped himself in a quilt. He reached out again and touched Miss Jin beside him, and he didn't even see Miss Jin's shadow after shouting a few times. When he saw his bag being opened and piled up haphazardly next to his pillow, he had a premonition that something was wrong. He grabbed the package and saw that the two silver tickets totaling 1,500 taels were gone, the fragments in the bag were entangled, and then he saw that the ancestral jade ring on his hand was gone. He suddenly panicked, shouted Miss Jin at the top of his voice, and the old bustard standing next to him said, "Don't shout, you can't hear her if you shout louder!" ”

Cui Liangquan hurriedly grabbed the old bustard's sleeve and asked anxiously, "Where is my Miss Jin?" Where did she go? ”

The old bustard impatiently shook off his hand and said, "What a fool! Your sweetheart was picked up early this morning! ”

Cui Liangquan was stupid when he heard it, he looked at the old bustard in a daze, and waved his hand again and again and said, "I don't believe it!" No way! We drank together last night, and I said okay, I'll redeem her today and go to Shanghai together! ”

The old bustard told Cui Liangquan to get dressed and sit on a chair, and then asked someone to serve a pot of hot tea before telling him: This morning, a man took money to ransom Miss Jin. Seeing Cui Liangquan's resolute disbelief, she told the truth about the incident. It turned out that in addition to Cui Liangquan, there was also a man who also wanted Miss Ransom.

After hearing this, Cui Liangquan angrily pointed at the old bustard's nose and scolded: "You old demon woman! Didn't we talk about Miss Ransom first! How did you get someone else to ransom her? ”

The old bustard pouted disdainfully and said, "You were still sleeping when people led people, I thought you had changed your hexagram!" Besides, I don't recognize money but not people, whoever gives me money first, I will let whoever redeems it! And they have twenty more oceans than you! ”

Cui Liangquan was even more angry when he heard the bustard say this, and he patted the table with the bustard and said, "Don't you want to ask for more ransom!" I can give you more, as long as I can find Miss Jin, I will give you another fifty yuan! ”

The old bustard laughed when she heard Cui Liangquan say this, she looked at Cui Liangquan like a monster: "My stupid old Cui yo, since the day you saw Miss Jin, you have been poured sweat medicine, and you haven't woken up yet!" Let me tell you the truth, that Miss Jin didn't plan to go with you at all, she has long been famous! The old bustard pointed his finger at Cui Liangquan's head: "I also want to tell you that the man who ransomed Miss Jin is your good friend Mr. Lu." Ha ha! I can't think of it! Hearing the old bustard say this, Cui Liangquan's eyes turned black and he felt that the world was spinning, and he fell on the table with his head tightly with both hands.

The old bustard smiled and comforted Cui Liangquan and said: "I am an outsider who can see it very clearly, you are lustful and they are greedy for money, and it is strange if you don't have an accident when you encounter a piece!" Later, I'll ask someone to make you another pot of strong tea, and you can wake up and go home!" In addition, I have one more sentence of advice: this has already happened, and there is no use in worrying. There are beautiful women in this world, and in a few days, I will find you a woman who is better than Miss Jin, and it will be over. After she finished speaking, she twisted her fat ass and pushed the door away.

Cui Liangquan was indeed deceived, Miss Jin put sweat medicine in the wine he drank last night, and he was ransacked by Miss Jin and her lover when he was unconscious. This Miss Jin, who cheated Cui Liangquan of his money, is not a flag person, let alone a character, she is a native of Chengde and was born in a family of small businessmen. Miss Jin was the fifth wife of a warlord before she became a prostitute in the Red Mansion, and because she was young and beautiful, she was very well-read among the many wives and concubines of the warlord. During the warlord melee during the Republic of China, the husband of the fifth aunt often fought outside for the sake of grabbing land, and the fifth aunt who was alone in the empty house couldn't bear the loneliness and went out of the wall, and her lover was her cousin Lu Ping. She and Lu Ping's childhood sweethearts had no guesses, and they had already made a private decision for life, but the parents of the fifth aunt married her to a warlord Commander Xie for the sake of money. The young and beautiful fifth aunt really couldn't accept the rough and cheesy martial artist who was more than 20 years older than herself, and felt like a flower being inserted into cow dung, but the words of the matchmaker could not be disobeyed by her parents' orders, so she had to bury her grievances in her heart and endure it silently. After marriage, she has never let go of her feelings for her cousin, and her cousin can't stop missing her cousin. Lu Ping, who couldn't stand the pain of being separated from his cousin, asked his parents for some money to do some business in Beiping, he actually wanted to be closer to his cousin in the name of doing business.

After Lu Ping arrived in Beiping, he often came to visit his cousin in the name of visiting relatives, and at first the two of them restrained themselves, but there was always a day when the dry firewood was burning, and it didn't take long for Lu Ping and his cousin to get together. They often take advantage of Miss Kim's warlord husband's expedition to cheat on her. Over time, the adultery between the two was revealed. Commander Xie, who was cuckolded, was furious, and he was going to shoot and kill the fifth aunt in front of his wives and concubines to warn others. But Miss Jin hugged the thigh of her warlord husband and cried heartbreakingly, begging him to spare her life, and many wives and concubines also knelt on the ground to plead for mercy. Miss Jin was exempted from the death penalty and the crime of living is inevitable, Commander Xie has never been able to swallow the evil breath of his little wife cuckolding him, ** like changing clothes, he decided to sell his fifth aunt to a brothel as a prostitute, and use the money from selling her to marry a young and beautiful woman.

After entering the brothel, the fifth aunt, who used to be the wife of the official, became the oiran in the brothel with her unique temperament, and earned a lot of money for the bustard. But the arrogant fifth aunt is too unwilling to be a plaything in the hands of a man, and she doesn't want to spend her youth in the prostitution hole. Miss Jin used some silver to find someone to contact her cousin who ran back to her hometown in Chengde to hide. After Lu Ping learned that his cousin had been sold into a brothel, he hurried from Chengde to Beiping, and after the two met in the brothel, they hugged and cried. Lu Ping thought that he had hurt his cousin, and said that he must rescue his cousin from the fire pit, and then take his cousin away to live a happy and loving life. However, this Lu Ping's business is a way of only losing money and not making money, and he himself can't take out the money to ransom his cousin, and it is even more impossible to ask his family for money. As a last resort, Lu Ping told his cousin a clever plan he had deved, and then the two set up a set for Cui Liangquan to drill. The Japanese businessman who was talking about business with Cui Liangquan was dressed up by a Japanese-speaking friend of Lu Ping, and Lu Ping's trick came to fruition, and he gave the friend ten oceans as a reward. From then on, Lu Ping and Miss Jin were no longer seen in Beiping City, and the two of them ran to a place where no one could find them.
