Rested at the Suzhou wharf, the next morning, a group of people boarded the ship and went straight to Hangzhou, before the boat, the horse steward kept looking at whether anyone would come to stay, but unfortunately in the end there was no one.

Qian Yuan doesn't care, people are helping the coffin to return to their hometown, and there is no need for him to ask for this boring.

What's more, this kind of favor is like old wine, the longer the time, the more mellow the wine, he is already a showman, and at least ten years in the southeast is in turmoil, the risk of doing business is too great, he still has to take the career, this kind of favor to use to the critical time.

The most important thing is that Qian Yuan didn't stop Steward Ma from inquiring...... Shaoxing Yuyao Sun family, pomp is not small, living in the water station, it is said that the family is famous for filial piety, Qian Yuan, who has been very interested in history since childhood, has faintly guessed the origin of this family.

Three days later, Qian Yuan finally arrived in Hangzhou, and the boat did not stop until the Gongchen Bridge at the end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, where the Qian family's cotton cloth shop was not far from the east end of the Gongchen Bridge.

After entering the shop and looking at it, Qian Yuan was very satisfied, two entrances before and after, the front is a storefront, and the back can live in people, the place is not small, and there is a small yard.

"The list of the five guys and the address of their family members are here." didn't have time to drink tea, Qian Yuan handed Steward Ma a piece of paper, "The silver brought this time is all here, 20 taels of silver per family." ”

"It's really a big deal...... "Steward Ma took the paper, hesitated and asked, "What about the shop?" Before Madame came, it was best to transfer it out, Young Master Yuan should be filial piety first, and study second. ”

Qian Yuan waved his hand, "I'll take care of the shop, you just have to distribute the bereavement pension, and the shop will reopen in another ten days, and you take care of it in front." ”

Before going to Hangzhou, Masteward De Madam Lu mentioned that he wanted to bring Qian Yuan back to Songjiang as soon as possible, but what he saw and heard along the way, he no longer dared to treat this young master Yuan as an ordinary young man, and after hesitating for a moment, he stopped talking.

Qian Yuan no longer paid attention to the horse steward, beckoned Zhang San and the others and went straight to the backyard.

What do you want to do?

To make money, of course.

A modern person can lack anything, that is, he can't lack money, and in the past six months, the empty pocket has always made Qian Yuan feel precarious.

What's more, after the next three years of filial piety, he is the only man in the family, there are a lot of acres of land, but most of them are planted with cotton, and some mulberry gardens, but the southeast is chaotic together, the trade route is cut off, and the sales of cotton cloth and silk will be greatly affected.

Father and brother died in the field, a large amount of silver taels, goods were lost, more than a dozen men were buried together, if it were not for the private support of my uncle and mother, this time the Qian family was not far from the broken family.

And Qian Yuan knows very well that in the next southeast war, Songjiang will become the hardest hit area, and now Taozhai Town, a famous commercial town in Songjiang Prefecture, has been reduced to ashes in the war.

Therefore, Qian Yuan came to Hangzhou this time for three things, one is to make money, the second is to try to find out the reason for the death of his father and brother, and the third is to prepare to move.

Now that the imperial court has not torn his face with Wang Zhi, it is possible to make money, once the face is torn, there is almost no safe place on the southeast coast, but at least the inner city of Hangzhou is safe, Qian Yuan does not remember that Hangzhou City has a record of being attacked by the Japanese in history.

How to make money?

This problem is not difficult for a famous traverser, the difficulty is how to sell it, so the shop cannot be disposed of for the time being, and Qian Yuan also tried to use this shop to hook those who have a heart.

However, before Qian Yuan could start to do it, an uninvited guest came uninvited that afternoon.

"This is Young Master Yuan, the head of the Songjiang Mansion trial last year." Steward Ma introduced: "This is the boss of Jin Hongjin, who became friends with the uncle more than ten years ago, and he also came to Huating to report the funeral after he sent a boat to salvage for more than ten days without success. ”

Qian Yuan's lips moved a few times, he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, he looked like he was not good at socializing and talking.

Jin Hong, whose body was round into a ball, arched his hands with a sad face, he has been in contact with the Qian family for more than ten years, not only has a personal relationship with Qian Yuan's father, but also has business dealings between the two families.

Boss Jin waved his hand to let the servants behind him come in to help clean up the courtyard, and asked the entourage to go out to buy daily necessities such as bedding.

The backyard was lively, Steward Ma and Qian Yuan accompanied the guests to drink tea in the front hall, and the Jin boss burst out a few sentences from time to time, "The widow who kills a thousand knives", and Qian Yuan trembled from time to time.

Steward Ma reluctantly pulled the topic away, and glanced at Qian Yuan who was pretending to be out of the corner of his eye, he really didn't dare to underestimate this now, he just received the news, just five days ago, a small group of Japanese robbers went ashore from Haiyan County to Tonglu, Jiaxing, killing more than 100 officers and soldiers.

After the backyard was cleaned up, Boss Jin ordered someone to buy daily necessities such as bedding, and then took people away.

Steward Ma was still there and felt that there were still many good people in the world, but Qian Yuan was thinking in his heart with a dark face, how could there be so many good people in the world?

"Stop for now." Qian Yuan paced a few steps in the courtyard and ordered: "Li Si, you take people to stay, Zhang San, you disperse people to see if anyone is watching at night." ”

……

It's been half a year since he came to this era, but Qian Yuan still can't adapt to some aspects, such as diet, such as work and rest time.

Huating Qian is a scholarly family in Songjiang Mansion, whether it is a branch or a side branch to achieve merit first, helpless will take other roads, Qian Yuan is a famous young talent of this generation of Qian, the most praised is no matter the wind and rain, the cold winter wax moon, get up early every day to read hard.

But on the current Qian Yuan, it is simply killing him, four o'clock, it is really not called early morning, it is called late night...... In his previous life, he might not have gone to bed at two or three o'clock, and he was still enjoying the colorful nightlife!

So when Zhang San pushed the door and walked into the study room that had been temporarily sorted out, it was not surprising to see Qian Yuan who was waiting for news.

"There's a catch." Zhang San nodded, "A secret whistle, I'll let them not do it." ”

"Well, where is the touch, if you can't keep up, don't follow, don't be discovered, it's far from you."

"Don't follow." The swarthy Zhang Sanyi grinned, "I saw it in the afternoon, oh, the lamp oil in this lamp was sent by him, and it was quite polite." ”

The corners of Qian Yuan's mouth hooked up slightly, his group arrived at noon, and the boss Jin came to the door in less than an hour, it seems that he has been sending someone to keep an eye on it, this is a snake that can come out of the hole without being led.

After pondering in his heart, Qian Yuan had already listed this Boss Jin as the most questionable target, and the most critical point was that as an elder who cared for the younger generation, he did not ask a word about the purpose and reason of Qian Yuan's trip to Hangzhou today.

"There are a total of eight people coming here this time, divided into two groups, you and Li Si take turns to be on duty at night, except for the secret whistle, to see if anyone is watching."

Qian Yuan couldn't be sure that this Boss Jin was the murderer, but he had already locked down the reason for his father's death, and he knew that he had underestimated the weight of that secret recipe.
