Compared with the dark waves in the capital, March in the south of the Yangtze River is bright and bright.

There are clouds in the Song Dynasty: heaven in the sky, Suzhou and Hangzhou underground. In fact, now Suzhou has surpassed Hangzhou, Suzhou with the actual payment of spring and summer taxes and grain 2,52,900 stone crown of the world's state capital, Suzhou silk and other handicrafts are at the leading level in the country, Suzhou and Hangzhou Weaving Bureau in Suzhou City.

When there are clouds: the Hanchuan Kou, the Huaxing but not the Guanglingfu, the world will be the most prosperous, except for the Beijing Wuxia.

Suzhou Mansion belongs to Nanzhili, so the situation is somewhat similar to that of Shuntian Mansion, and it is not subject to the constraints of the Sansi Yamen. In response to the establishment of the Heavenly Inspector's Yamen, it was an effective curbing of social injustice and maintaining local political clarity.

Suzhou city has eight gates, the circumference is 47 miles, it is located on the east side of the Grand Canal in the capital, and the west gate of the city is also called the big wharf of the world, and it is already a prosperous block outside the city.

Because of the countless goods that are loaded and unloaded here, the docks adjacent to the city gate are very busy, and a dock that can berth large ships is worth thousands of dollars.

"Listen up! All the goods in hand are put down, and everyone stands to the side! ”

The steward helped a group of his men to hurry to the docks, and stopped the merchants and Lifu who were busy loading and unloading their goods, and instructed his men to clear the goods that stood in the way.

"What's the matter, what are you doing? I still have to rush to send the goods to Nanjing! A businessman who was in the middle of the sun squinted at Steward He and complained.

Steward He had a straight face, and said to all the businessmen present: "Everyone, I have offended someone today!" However, this is the rule that my dock has already set, once the big owner disembarks here, the pier will be suspended! ”

"Who is your big boss? Is it necessary to put such a large score? Another fat businessman coaxed.

Steward He's face was slightly cold, and he looked at the fat businessman and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, my big proprietor is not a character you can talk about!" If you want to load or unload from my dock in the future, you'd better keep your mouth shut! ”

"I don't mean to be offended, I'm just curious! Okay, okay, I'll shut up now...... Shut up! The merchant looked at Steward He as serious as he had never been, and hurriedly apologized.

The merchants looked at Steward He like this, and knew that the identity of the person who came must be extraordinary.

The fat businessman was tired of eating, but he said to others in private: "I remember that this wharf is the property of the Feng family in Suzhou City, isn't his big proprietor Feng Yuanwai?" ”

"Feng Yuanwai? This is last year's old yellow calendar, this wharf to the wealthy Hangzhou United Money Zhuang, has long been someone's industry! "A short, thin businessman seems to know his roots.

"And who is this big boss?" The fat merchant was secretly startled, and immediately asked curiously.

"United Money Village is set up by the United Business Group in Guangdong, and their big proprietor is naturally the core personnel of the United Business Group, but I don't know which one it is!" The short, thin merchant shook his head with a serious face.

Rather than officials focusing on political news, they are more concerned about economic news. With the opening of Guangdong and Hangzhou, the financially strong joint merchant group in Guangdong quietly entered the south of the Yangtze River, and this joint bank is the financial performance of the joint merchant group.

At about half a pillar of incense, a luxurious building ship headed south from the canal and slowly moored at this empty dock.

The surrounding merchants stood at a distance, but they couldn't help but look at this luxurious building ship curiously. But I saw a group of wolf-like guards coming down from the ship, with swords and axes in front and muskezeers in the back, and firecrackers with flintlock pistols in the back, looking murderous.

The merchants and entourage looked at this posture and couldn't help but swallow and spit secretly. The status of their businessmen has always been low, even if it is the huge wealth of Suzhou, they do not make such a show, and now they are not afraid of being remembered by those greedy officials!

The style of painting abruptly changed, a group of maids of different colors walked down from the boat, each maid is not very old, the figure looks very slender, and there are quite rules in the gestures.

With the appearance of the main master, everyone's eyes were attracted.

A slender and beautiful woman came down from the boat, wearing a standard woman's headdress, embellished with two golden hairpins, and wearing a dark brown ornate hairpin, giving people a sense of elegance and not eating the fireworks of the world.

Although she was wearing a scarf on her face, just that tall and proud figure was already heart-wrenching, and even felt suffocated.

For Steward He's barbaric approach just now, they already felt that it was excusable, not to mention the identity of the other party, just such a national color and natural fragrance, but it was not something that their group of businessmen could get close to.

Steward He stepped forward respectfully and welcomed the person to the luxury carriage that had been waiting for a long time.

With the departure of the gang, the ban on the docks was lifted, but many of the merchants looked at the distant carriage as if they had been hooked.

"If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you really wouldn't have imagined what a peerless woman there is in the world!" A businessman reluctantly withdrew his gaze and said with emotion to his companion next to him.

The merchants nodded their heads, and they pondered for a moment, and found that they had never met such a thrilling woman in their lives, let alone such an unattainable elegance.

An old businessman frowned slightly, looked at everyone and said solemnly: "If the old man is not wrong and guessed wrong, this should be the little lady of the Hangzhou flower family!" ”

Although Suzhou and Hangzhou are under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili and Zhejiang, they are connected by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the economic and trade exchanges between the two places are frequent, so many levels of things are naturally known.

The so-called little flower lady is not a flirtatious word. In the past, when Hua Yingrong was not married, she took care of the business for the Hua family, and because she was very good at business and made the Hua family's business flourish, she also won the title of "Flower Little Lady".

"Huh? Isn't it because she is a daughter, so she married the old man Hua to Guangdong, and the Hua family declined? Someone immediately asked suspiciously.

The old businessman nodded lightly, stretched out his hand and stroked his beard and said, "Yes, she was married to Guangdong, and now she is also a human being...... Concubine room! ”

"Huh...... Such a beautiful and fragrant business wizard is willing to be a concubine, you old man is obviously here to talk nonsense! As soon as the words fell, they were immediately questioned by others, and the businessmen next to them also nodded in agreement.

The old merchant looked at the merchants coldly, but said in a surprising voice: "She is the wife of Lin Haoranru, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites of the Dynasty, and now the actual helmsman of the United Silver Trumpet!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence everywhere.
