Volume 3 Pen Knife Spring and Autumn Chapter 288 The son of the richest man in Yangzhou
“…… Why don't you come with me to sit at home today, let's get to know each other and study what the child's name should be......"
Cao Yi and the others didn't take a few steps before they saw a fair-skinned and unusually handsome young man speak.
Underneath a pair of sword eyebrows are a pair of peach blossom eyes, thin lips, and a wicked smile on a bohemian face. But as soon as you look at your face and vain steps, you know that you are a happy nobleman who is overindulgent.
The noble son ignored Cao Yi and the others, walked quickly to Yu Youwei, with a gentle and elegant expression, made a scholarly salute, and said with a smile: "This girl, I forgot to introduce myself, my surname is Liu, my name is Chengze, the word Shengxu, my father is Liu Defa, the richest man in Yangzhou, the first salt merchant, I saw the girl today, shocking the world, I really saw the most beautiful person in the next, even the first Oiran Minyue is slightly inferior to the girl, and I fell in love with the girl at first sight, I don't know the ......girl's name."
If this Liu Chengze just said that, without the lustful eyes and the action of licking his lips after speaking, then at least he would be a handsome boy, but the last two behaviors completely destroyed his image, and even made him look a little perverted.
Yu Youwei looked at the other party's expression, and unconsciously took a step back, a little panicked, and even a little scared, shrunk behind Cao Yi, not daring to answer, and not daring to look like Liu Chengze.
Yu Youwei's move made Liu Chengze's face instantly cold, and the originally gentle and elegant smile gradually disappeared, squinting slightly, staring at Yu Youwei like a cold poisonous snake......
Then his gaze shifted to Cao Yi, and at that moment, his face was gloomy and his eyes were fierce, but immediately a warm smile appeared on his face, as if the gloomy expression had never appeared before. "What do you call this brother?"
"Under Cao Yi! I don't know if the kidney-deficient son has and advice? Cao Yi also squinted his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he spoke.
That Liu Chengze's eyes flickered instantly after hearing the word "Cao Yi", and then a smile appeared on his face: "It turned out to be the famous No. 1 talent in Jiangning, and he has admired Brother Cao's name for a long time." ”
Cao Yi excused himself, and then said, "That kidney-deficient son, let's leave first." ”
"Wait! Brother Cao, won't you introduce the next few people? Liu Chengze said with a playful look in his eyes.
Cao Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally introduced them one by one, Liu Chengze also nodded, and finally said: "Brother Cao, I don't know if I should say a sentence in the next sentence?"
"Hehe, then there's no need to talk about it, Brother Liu, we still have something to do, so let's go first." As soon as Cao Yi gave up his hand, he wanted to leave.
"......" Liu Chengze was stunned for a while, why didn't this first genius from Jiang Ning do things according to common sense, shouldn't he say "But it doesn't hurt" at this time.
Liu Chengze saw that Cao Yi was about to turn around and leave, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it, and said with a smile: "Brother Cao, what I want to ask is that Miss Yu Youwei is Brother Cao's wife...... Or a concubine? ”
When Cao Yi heard this, he narrowed his eyes, and was silent there, without saying anything, but Yu Youwei herself said to Liu Chengze: "Back to Liu Gongzi, the cheap maid is the concubine of the official......
Originally, Yu Youwei didn't want to talk to Liu Chengze, but she saw that Cao Yi had been there without speaking, she knew that Cao Yi was currently in a dilemma, and if she said that her wife would be in Yangzhou, her identity would be concluded, and there would be a lot less flexibility in the future.
If she is a wife, then if the Drunken Immortal Building opens in the future, she will not be able to come out and show her face, otherwise she will not abide by the woman's morals, and it will bring a lot of trouble and criticism to Cao Yi, who is Jiangning's first talent.
But if it is a concubine, Cao Yi is afraid that Yu Youwei will have ideas at that time, or it will be looked down on, after all, the concubine does not have any status and dignity in this era, so Cao Yi will keep silent.
However, Yu Youwei naturally exercised the character of observing words and controlling the situation in Jinfeng Building before, so on the premise that she has not yet torn her face with the other party, she still does not have a conflict with Da Shao, who introduced her father as the first salt merchant in Yangzhou, that is, the first rich merchant.
Liu Chengze smiled happily when he heard this, bowed to Cao Yi, and did enough of the demeanor of a gentleman, but the words he said instantly made everyone present change their faces.
"Brother Cao, I fell in love with your concubine Youwei at first sight, why don't Brother Cao give her to me? In return, I will give Brother Cao another ten beautiful women and 10,000 taels of silver, whether it is accepted as a concubine or transferred by Brother Cao to her, it is up to Brother Cao to decide......"
Cao Yi's original smiling face instantly turned cold, and he said in a cold tone: "Brother Liu, your joke is not funny at all, if you are serious, I will not hear it, and I will talk about it again at this time!" I still have something to do, so I'm leaving. U9 eBook
"Wait! Cao Gongzi, if you think the price is not enough, you can also say that in Yangzhou, there are few things that our Liu family can't do, money, people, things, as long as you say it, as long as the price is right, you can exchange it, it's just a mere concubine, Cao Gongzi won't know this truth, right? Liu Chengze stepped forward quickly and stretched out a hand to stop Cao Yi,
At this time, he also had a sneer on his face, and threatened: "I heard that Cao Gongzi came to Yangzhou to open a restaurant to do business, Cao Gongzi agreed, then everyone will be happy, and after your restaurant opens, our Liu family will come to the door to send a big gift!" If not...... I'm going to be unhappy, and then something bad might happen...... I think with the ingenuity of Cao Gongzi Jiangning's first talent, he should know what kind of harm I will do if I am unhappy, right? ”
Cao Yi looked at Liu Chengze coldly, turned his head sideways and said lightly, "Finished?" ”
"That's it, Brother Cao, you have to take the ...... exam" Liu Chengze was interrupted by Cao Yi's cheers before he finished speaking.
"When you're done, you can step down!" Cao Yi glanced at Liu Chengze one last time, said lightly, and then ignored his outstretched arm, and directly knocked away.
"Cao Yi! You even toasted and didn't eat and drink, and a poor sour scholar who came from other places actually dismissed my face, and when the time comes, you will kneel down and beg me! Liu Chengze, who was knocked away, first showed a surprised expression on his face, and then slowly became gloomy and violent.
"Cao Yi, I kindly remind you that in the next Yangzhou, you must pay attention to safety, don't be beaten up when the time comes, or your five wives and concubines are taken captive when they go out, and they are sold to Qinglou after playing with them...... Hahahaha...... Wanton humiliation, hahahaha! After speaking, Liu Chengze turned out to be a little crazy and nervous.
Cao Yi, who was walking away, suddenly stopped, and when Liu Chengze saw Cao Yi stop, he laughed a few more times and said, "What? Isn't it so quick to soften, even if you know the current affairs, what's the matter, the conditions I just said remain unchanged, if you transfer Yu Youwei to me, I will let you go, and your business in Yangzhou will be booming......"
When Liu Chengze was still chattering, Cao Yi suddenly spoke: "Gongye Yuanzhou, palm mouth!" ”
"Childe?" Gongye Yuanzhou can know from the title that Cao Yi called him, Gongzi is already very angry, if it is usual, he is called his eldest brother Gongye. But just now he was called with his first name and surname, which can show from the side that the son is angry and extremely angry in his heart. It's just that this Liu Chengze is the son of the first salt merchant in Yangzhou, if he really slaps his mouth, it is inevitable that there will be trouble.
"Say it again, slap!" Cao Yi's tone became even more cold, and he even turned his head slightly to glance at Gongye Yuanzhou.
At this glance, he could see Gongye Yuanzhou's heart suddenly, the glance just now was really too majestic, he didn't expect that the little boy, who had always been gentle to others, would be even more infiltrating than the old general Cao Bin......
"Yes!" Gongye Yuanzhou responded with a fist clenched, and then turned around and walked towards Liu Chengze with the two guards.
"Cao Yi, you dare!" Liu Chengze pointed at Cao Yi with his finger, and the expression of disbelief on his face was mixed with anger.
He usually relies on his identity as the third son of the Liu family, the richest man in Yangzhou, to do evil in Yangzhou City, and usually does some things that bully men and women, anyway, everything that can be solved with money is not a matter for him, and all those who are bullied by him often take money and stop talking. This further led to Liu Chengze's perverse character and tyrannical behavior.
If it weren't for the mysterious background of Hua Manlou and the Alum Tower in the capital behind Min Yue, he would have poisoned Min Yue a long time ago, don't look at these Oiran in Yangzhou are just famous prostitutes of various green buildings, but the forces behind each green building are intricate.
As for those oirans are either supported and held by a certain family, or they are forbidden by a powerful person in Yangzhou City, so Liu Chengze's father has long warned this young son who does not seek to be motivated, who can be bullied casually, and which people must not be touched, such as the six major Oiran in Yangzhou and some people in Yangzhou officialdom and their descendants are not touchable.
Although their Liu family is the richest man in Yangzhou, they are only helped by the current vigorous development of the economy of the Great Yan Dynasty, and their business has been greatly developed, so their family has hoarded a staggering amount of wealth by selling salt through the "salt introduction" issued by the imperial court.
But as long as it is under the current system, having money does not mean that you can do whatever you want, even if their Yang family is already the richest man in Yangzhou, but they will not be looked down upon by the real elite.
Although no money will definitely be looked down upon, having money does not necessarily mean that everyone will value it. Because wealth does not necessarily mean unlimited resources, power is the most real thing in this era, otherwise there would not be so many scholars and talents for more than ten years, just for the sake of a gold list title and fame.
Just like a court official with assets of tens of thousands of taels would never envy a businessman worth hundreds of thousands or millions of taels, whether it is the status of the society, the rights behind it and the resources that can be obtained, the former occupies an absolute advantage.
Therefore, Liu Chengze's father, Liu Defa, the head of the Liu family, once sternly told him that the children of the powerful should not be provoked, the Qinglou Oiran should not be provoked, and the court officials should not be provoked, and as for the others, it was not clearly stated.
So in his opinion, Cao Yi, an alien talent, is naturally not on the list of "can't be messed with", so what happened just now.
