Four. Pu family

Some handsome readers have paid attention, the contemptible person is the second master, not the second child, not the second wife, and not the second dog.

Don't make a name!

Zhu Wu's governor's mansion is eating, nothing more than a big bowl of meat, a big bowl of meat and a big bowl of meat.

The family banquet of Xie Mansion is full of dazzling delicacies and delicacies from the mountains and seas. If Zhu Wu was here, he would definitely be staring at him and not knowing anyone.

In addition to the dishes, there are more than a dozen maids standing outside the house, holding all kinds of gold and silver tableware.

Zhu Wu really eats, and rich people eat pomp.

Xie Guangkun sat on the main seat, and set his hands on a middle-aged man who was forty years old, gentle and elegant.

"Brother-in-law, after a long time, the old father at home often talks about you and Lian'er." The middle-aged man raised his glass and said, "The younger brother came this time, and my father also said that if there is a chance, I will invite my brother-in-law and Lian'er to go home and have a look." As he spoke, his eyes were a little red, "When people get old, they miss the old, and in recent years, my father's health has become more and more poor, and he always thinks about the children!" ”

Xie Guangkun also sighed with emotion, "Ashamed, ashamed, let my father-in-law remember, ashamed!" ”

"Hmph, don't worry about it early or late, worry about it at this time, your Pu family is really good at picking the time!"

After holding a cup with everyone, Xie Guangkun slandered in his heart.

The person in front of him is none other than Xie Guangkun's brother-in-law, Xie Lian'er's nominal uncle, Pu Chongmo.

At that time, Xie Pu's family was just a commercial marriage, but after marriage, Xie Guangkun and his wife were deeply in love, and they were compatible.

But when his wife was alive, he still had some contacts with the Pu family, and after his wife died, he communicated with the Pu family every year, and gradually became estranged.

Xie Lian'er wrote a letter to the Pu family last time, begging to borrow the craftsmen of the Pu family, but this time she suddenly came to the door thousands of miles away.

The reason for this, Xie Guangkun does not know.

In fact, he looked down on the Pu family a little. Although the Xie family is also a businessman, there are celebrities on their ancestors, the Xie family, and the poetry and books are heirlooms.

Even if he has a single lineage, he only has one daughter, but the Xie family in Guangzhou and other places is prosperous.

What is the Pu family?

said that he couldn't live with his deceased wife, if it wasn't for the old lady who set the marriage, he really couldn't look down on the Pu family.

"Why don't you see your niece Lian'er?" Pu Chongmo said with a smile, "They all say that my nephew is like an uncle, I haven't seen him for a few years, and I don't know what my niece has become!" ”

", Lian'er has no blood relationship with your Pu family, but your name is affectionate."

This secret, few of the Pu family know, Xie Guangkun did not break it, and said with a smile, "Lian'er has been spoiled since she was a child, and these days she has learned the rules of being a daughter in the backyard, you and I will eat and drink first, and after eating wine, I will let her come." ”

Pu Chongfu smiled and said, "In the blink of an eye, my face has become a big girl, it's time to learn the rules." As he spoke, he leaned forward, "Brother-in-law, did the younger brother hear that Lian'er and Jinling, the Han King, ........?" ”

Your Pu family's nose is so good, no wonder Baba came over, I heard the news.

Xie Guangkun didn't hide it from him, and said with a smile, "Yes, when King Han was still the governor of Jinling, he fell in love with Lian'er!" ”

"Oh, brother-in-law." Pu Chongfu said, "This is a big happy event, we must make Lian'er's happy event beautiful." Saying that, he paused and said, "Brother-in-law, don't blame, I'm just this niece, there is a way that my mother's uncle is the eldest and my sister is gone, and the younger brother naturally has to bear the niece's happy event." Lian'er's dowry, how can you let the little brother contribute! ”

Vulgar!

Xie Guangkun sneered in his heart, if you want to send money to Zhu Wu, you will say it clearly, why bother to make so many detours.

Zhu Wuyi destroyed the imperial army of 600,000 in the battle, shaking the north and south of the river. It is also known as the king dividing one side, and the army under his command is hundreds of thousands, and the Great Yuan is divided.

Dayuan is not good, at least not in the south. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhu Wu, the king of Han, has become a wing.

It's hard to say in the future, but the current Zhu Wu is covering the sky in Jiangnan. If you take 10,000 steps back, even if the imperial court goes south again in the future, there is no certainty of victory.

Zhu Wu went to the king and returned to the imperial court, which was also the king of Jiangnan who was really unknown.

There are soldiers, food, and territory, and there are civil ministers and military generals. Zhu Wu, a thief, is already a real prince.

In the eyes of a speculative businessman like the Pu family, Zhu Wu is now a strange commodity.

Moreover, Zhu Wu was about to control Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which was equivalent to grabbing the neck of the maritime merchants.

Silk is gold in the eyes of maritime merchants.

There are also tea, porcelain, paper, various handicrafts and other things, and after going to sea, it is money.

To put it mildly, Zhu Wu wants whoever sells more of these things, whoever he wants to buy and sell more.

Although the Pu family is far away in Quanzhou, if Zhu Wu does not give it, Quanzhou's business share will plummet.

But if Zhu Wu belongs to Quanzhou, wouldn't the Pu family be able to go to the next level?

These businessmen are the most shrewd, who will have trouble with money?

Besides, marrying the King of Han is harmless.

Eggs can't be put in one basket, speculation has existed since ancient times.

The two were gossiping, and the old housekeeper walked over lightly and whispered a few times in Xie Guangkun's ear.

Pu Chongmo pricked up his ears and vaguely heard the word Dao Chang.

"Brother-in-law, is there someone from the house?"

Xie Guangkun stood up and said, "Little brother take a moment, brother-in-law will be absent for a moment!" ”

"Brother-in-law, I'm not an outsider, since I have a guest invited in! Who's coming? ”

Xie Guangkun's mind spun around and said with a smile, "Yes, it's not an outsider, Xi Zhenren next to King Han!" ”

Suddenly, Pu Chongmo was overjoyed.

Xi Yingzhen?

This person started with Zhu Wu, and he was also a teacher and friend in Zhu Wu, and he was deeply respected.

After a while, Xie Guangkun led the way with a smile, and a thin old man with a dirty face and a wrinkled face walked in.

"Who is this?"

Xi Yingzhen put his hands behind his back, first looked at the dishes on the table, then looked at the people, squinted, and asked with a smile.

"But Danyangzi is really a real person?" Pu Chongmo said respectfully.

"Do you know the old way?" Xi Yingzhen sat down with a grin, "Are you?" ”

"This is my brother-in-law." Xie Guangkun said.

"Down there, Lian'er's uncle!" Pu Chongmo added.

Xi Yingzhen seemed to suddenly realize, and arched his hand, "Quanzhou Pushi, disrespectful and disrespectful!" As he spoke, he said intentionally or unintentionally, "When I returned to Jinling with King Han yesterday, King Han also talked about Pu's!" ”

Pu Chongmo was shocked, there was something in the old saying. He wasn't afraid of Zhu Wu, he was afraid that Zhu Wu would get stuck in the silk goods in Jiangnan in the future.

wanted to ask something, but saw Xi Yingzhen holding chopsticks, frowning at these meals, and didn't move the chopsticks for a long time.

"What is going on?" Xie Guangkun sat next to Xi Yingzhen, and said to the old housekeeper in a cold voice, "Withdraw, come up with a new dish!" ”

"No!" Xi Yingzhen smiled, "I haven't touched the chopsticks yet, why did you withdraw it!" As he spoke, he smiled at the old housekeeper, "Excuse me, there is a stewed mutton for Lao Dao, Lao Dao is not used to drinking rice wine, and it is best to burn a knife!" ”

After speaking, he looked at the two of them again, "The old man is from a slightly cold background, and stewed mutton is a good dish, don't joke about it!" ”

"Where, where!" Pu Chongmo said with a smile, "Real people are heroes, how can we be vassals and elegant, and the food is all flashy things!" ”

Xi Yingzhen smiled and took a sip of tea, "You're from Quanzhou?" ”

"Just arrived yesterday!"

"Hey? It's really hard for you, not far away. ”

Pu Chongmo said with a smile, "This niece should be shared!" ”

"But King Han has some thoughts about the Pu family!" Xi Yingzhen held the tea bowl, blocked his face, and said as if unintentionally, "I complained yesterday!" ”

"How can this be?" Pu Chongmo exclaimed.

I heard Xi Yingzhen say, "Last year, the King of Han wanted to build a sea ship, and Miss Lian'er said to send a letter to the outside family and borrow some craftsmen. To borrow or not to borrow, to give a sentence is always OK, right? But who knows, there is no news, and the stone sinks into the sea! ”

Pu Chongmo really wanted to strangle those short-sighted people in his family to death, and he said at the beginning that he should not have anything to do with the thieves.

Now the thief is king, and he still chokes the neck of the Pu family's merchants.

It's a good family, but it's just like this.

But now, Pu Chongmo can only pretend that he doesn't know.

"The conscience of heaven and earth, I haven't received it!" Pu Chongmo shouted, "Aren't they just craftsmen, if you receive a letter from your niece, why don't you borrow it." Saying that, look at Xie Guangkun, "Yes, brother-in-law!" ”

At this time, I remembered my brother-in-law! Xie Guangkun sneered in his heart.

"Does King Han still want to build ships now? Write back to Quanzhou in the next letter! Is a thousand craftsmen enough? ”

"Two thousand craftsmen!" Xi Yingzhen stretched out two fingers and said with a smile, "Not only that, but there are also drawings of sea ships." ”

The craftsmen in Jinling can build big ships, but they can't build sea ships, especially sea warships.

The Pu family has been the head of Quanzhou's maritime merchants for hundreds of years, and they were able to ship ships and go to sea during the Great Song Dynasty.

The sea route is the top priority of the Dingyuan Army in the future.

However, it is too expensive to build a sea ship, and the sea is different from the river, and it has to be tested. If there are ready-made drawings, it is better to do more with less.

Pu Chongmo hesitated a little, two thousand people, sea ship drawings. This is the foundation of the Pu family, and more importantly, what does Zhu Wu want to do with the sea ship?

He also wants to go to sea to be a maritime merchant?
