In the west of Xinyi City, Jiang Anyi, who was thousands of miles away in Xinyi City, didn't know that the Son of Heaven who had the grace of knowing him had died, and at this moment he was looking at Chen Han with a sigh. Time has turned the sturdy man into a fat man with a big belly, Chen Han in front of him is fatter than Guo Huaili three times, the bulging belly makes him unable to bend down at all, the flesh on his face squeezes his eyes into a slit, but fortunately, there is a fine light shining in the slit.

Jiang Anyi supported Chen Han, who was struggling to bow forward, and sighed: "Chen Han, if you don't lose weight, the whole person will be wasted." ”

Chen Han patted his stomach and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Thanks to the lord, Chen is full of food all day long, enjoying the wealth of the world, even if he dies, he will not lose." ”

The whole building is mostly made of white stone, decorated with colored glass and golden copper ornaments, and even the corridor under your feet is carefully polished, and the trees in the pavilion are full of sculptures that are spraying water outward.

The room was covered with soft carpets, silk curtains hung from the windows, made of Zheng Guo's finest silks, and on the square table in the middle were delicate utensils, although it was winter, and all kinds of fruits were piled up in them. The square table is surrounded by cushions, embroidered with various flowers, rich and intense, as if exuding a faint fragrance.

Chen Han let everyone sit on the cushions, patted his palms lightly, and a line of beautiful women walked out with a tray in their hands, and the tea on the plate exuded fragrance, Jiang Anyi took it and took a sip, and said in surprise: "It's actually Ansan Silver Needle." ”

Moving his fat body with difficulty, Chen Han smiled and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the lord, with Her Majesty the Queen taking care of it, Xiangyuxing's business is very prosperous, and the lord's three-point bonus is enough for Chen to spend all day and wine in Xinyi City." ”

Xiangyuxing is the Jiang family's business, which is managed by Tong'er, but Jiang Anyi does not allow anyone to interfere, and only asks Chen Han to bring back the dividends to the Guo family's caravan once a year. In recent years, Xiangyuxing's annual income has been more than 500,000 taels, and Jiangjia has opened up a new source of wealth in addition to Jiangjia perfume.

"Big brother, a guest is coming." A man in a shirt in his thirties walked in outside the door, Chen Han frowned slightly imperceptibly, and said, "Third brother, this is my old friend when I was in Zheng Guo, and I passed by Xinyi City to see me." Pointing to the man, he introduced to Jiang Anyi: "This is my third brother Chen Qiu." ”

Jiang Anyi listened to Chen Han talk about family affairs, he is a native of Leizhou, the eldest in the family, practicing martial arts and causing trouble will make the family fall into the middle, and later enter Longwei will fight for his family to seek wealth and wealth, and when he met Jiang Anyi, he changed his way of life, and it seems that Chen Han brought his family in Xinyi City.

This time coming to Xinyi City is a top secret, Jiang Anyi didn't want to reveal his identity, so he stood up and said to Chen Qiuli: "Third Master Chen, An is polite." ”

Chen Qiu looked Jiang Anyi up and down, arched his hand casually, and said to Chen Han: "Big brother, three hundred bottles of perfume sent by the Guo family have entered the warehouse, Wang Cheng said half a month ago that he wanted us to keep a hundred bottles, and the prime minister's family also said that they wanted a hundred bottles, and some nobles have reservations, three hundred bottles are not enough, what do you think about it?" ”

Chen Han waved his hand a little impatiently: "Don't you see that I have a guest here, how to assign you is the master." ”

Chen Qiu glanced at Park Tianhao and the others again, and turned to leave. Chen Han smiled bitterly: "Lord, after I settled down in Xinyi City, I sent someone to Leizhou to send money, my parents heard that I was doing a big business in Shasu Country, so they hurriedly sent my third brother over, saying that I was alone outside, and I would not be deceived if my brother stared at me." Alas, I can't let him go back when everyone comes, so I let him help take care of the business, and the lord can rest assured that my third brother doesn't know what happened between me and the lord. ”

Jiang Anyi smiled: "If you are alone, you will not be lonely if you have your family by your side, how can I blame you." Have you ever married and had children over the years? ”

Chen Han said with some twist: "Marrying a wife Zhu is ordered by my parents, the eldest male baby was born to my wife, who is eight years old, and the concubines have also given birth to four, five and six years old are daughters, three years old are male babies, and one male baby is only six months old, these children are all born to concubines." ”

Jiang Anyi looked at Chen Han's demeanor and understood, eighty percent of the other children were born to him and the dancing girl of the Western Regions, and there were many mixed-race babies in the Western Regions.

Chen Han held a banquet to entertain Zheng Guolai's friends, and Chen Qiu appeared again, toasting Jiang Anyi and the others with a warm face, and asking about the origin of Jiang Anyi and the others. Chen Han noticed his younger brother's abnormality, and said with a displeased face: "Chen Qiu, you go and get busy with you, I'll talk to An Ye." ”

Chen Qiuman reluctantly put down the wine jug, gave a salute and left, his residence was in the west corner of the house, with all the buildings and pavilions, which was thousands of times more luxurious than the old house at home. Chen Qiu has been in Shasu Country for seven years, he didn't bring his wife, Chen Han was afraid that he would be lonely, so he stuffed ten beautiful women in his courtyard, and later Chen Qiu bought a few more by himself. As soon as the buttocks fell on the cushion, a group of concubines flocked to his side, pinching his arms and rubbing his legs, this one wants to buy a headdress, that one takes a fancy to the earrings, if Chen Qiu is up and down on weekdays, he is enjoying it, and he agrees casually with a little request, but he is in a bad mood today, and he shouted with a cold face: "Get out!" ”

The room was quiet, and Chen Qiu cried and thought with a sad face, thinking that today's group of visitors should not have come to withdraw money. He has been in Shasu Country for many years, and he knows that this Xiangyuxing brother is only three components, and the rest of the money Zheng Guo will come and transport it away every year, so this group of people should not be here to transport money.

Xiang Yuxing's belongings Chen Han handed over to him to take care of, because most of the income in the spring of this year was reduced by the war, and Chen Qiu's hands became tighter. Chen Qiu has in his hands the sought-after goods from Zheng Guo, and the princes and nobles of the palace and Xinyi City have a lot of dealings, and the second housekeeper of the Great Prime Minister Tule Zan family said that because of the tight treasury of the war, he is raising money everywhere, and the prime minister said that he will lend money to the treasury at the moment, and when the time comes, he will double the repayment after winning the war, and Bayan said that he will tell Chen Qiu the news for the sake of the old friend, and he can hand over the money on behalf of Chen Qiu, but in the future, he will pay it back, and he will receive a benefit fee.

Chen Qiu knew that his brother had a relationship with the queen and the Tule family, and the reason why Xiang Yuxing's business was so good was because the queen took care of him, so Bayan would not lie to him. Because of the war, last year's dividends were not shipped back to Zheng Guo, Chen Qiu knew that there were money bags stacked in the treasury, one bag was a thousand gold coins, a total of thirty-eight bags, thirty-eight thousand gold coins, seventy percent of the profits of last year, if it was temporarily borrowed and borrowed, it would be doubled in less than half a year.

Chen Han did not treat his younger brother badly, and gave him a thousand silver coins every month, and the expenditure of ordinary people in a year was only fifty or sixty silver coins, which was enough for him to spend all his time in Xinyi City. However, Chen Qiu was a restless master, dealing with major trading houses for Xiang Yuxing on weekdays, and seeing the bosses of those trading houses spending extravagantly and extravagantly, his expenses of 1,000 silver coins became inconspicuous. The price of a bottle of perfume he handled to these rich merchants was three hundred and sixty silver coins, but as soon as these fellows opened their mouths, there were dozens of bottles, all kinds of fragrances, and the number of perfumes was limited, and sometimes in order to get the goods from their own hands, they inevitably stuffed themselves with a hundred and ten favors.

If you see more, your heart will be bigger, with these bosses and wealthy businessmen coming in and out together, thousands of silver coins will be spent in a few times, and it is really detrimental to the face of Boss Chen Er that he always lets others pay for going out to socialize. So as soon as Ba Yang said that Chen Qiu was moved, he secretly allocated the key to the treasury, did not dare to steal all the money, and exchanged ten bags of fakes for 10,000 gold coins.

In April, Bayan said that the coalition forces were about to defeat the Huazhou Huiye Mansion, and that at this time the borrowed money could have a double and a half profits, and that the money could be repaid only when the Huiye Mansion was defeated. So Chen Qiu stole ten more bags out. After Chen Qiu calculated the capital of more than 200,000 taels, he also opened a commercial bank and sold some auspicious goods, ensuring that he could save a lot of money.

The abacus plan is very good, who expected Jiang Anyi to arrive in Huazhou to serve as a strategic envoy, and soon launched an attack, the Western Regions coalition army stole chickens and rice, Lang Luo also recognized the opportunity, and after learning that Jiang Anyi arrived, he took 10,000 soldiers and horses of Shasu Country to retreat, and after the counterattack began, Lang Luo did not hesitate, and directly led people out of Jingmen Pass to return to Shasu State. More than 8,000 soldiers and horses came back, the loss was not large, the money and food for sending troops to fight were clean, and the money and money that Chen Qiu lent to Bayan became meat buns.

200,000 taels, what will Chen Qiu take, if the eldest brother knows about it, he will have to skin himself. Thinking of Chen Han's personality when he was young, he drew a knife to face him without saying a word, although he was his brother, but he stole so much money from him and estimated that the end would not be much better, even if he didn't die, he would be driven home, he was used to being a dog and horse in Shasu country, Chen Qiu said that he didn't want to go back to Leizhou to live a hard life.

I was worried in the house for a long time, poured two pots of wine, and didn't think of any way. Chen Qiu felt more and more bored in the house, so he simply went out to the tavern where he was used to playing.

The stirring music and writhing body immediately made Chen Qiu leave his troubles behind, and the waiter recognized the rich uncle, and led him to leave the noisy lobby and go upstairs, upstairs are private rooms, each room is luxuriously decorated, there are several beautiful women to serve, of course, the cost of a night is not low, three gold coins, as for the reward Mei Ji is still another calculation.

Chen Qiu, a frequent visitor here, walked down the carpeted corridor and asked, "Is Yanu free?" ”

The waiter knew Chen Qiu's identity, and said in a stiff Zheng language: "Master Chen, Master Bayan is in Yanu, why don't you go to Martha?" ”

As soon as he heard that Bayan was at Yanu's place, Chen Qiu was full of wine, pushed the waiter away, and strode towards Yanu's room. The more Chen Qiu thought about it, the more angry he became, his own money was rolled away by Ba Yang, although Ba Yang was the second housekeeper of Tule Daxiang, he only had a salary of thirty gold coins a month, and he dared to spend on Yanu, and he used to treat himself by himself.

In the waiter's exclamation, Chen Qiu pushed Yanu's room open, the faint sound of the piano stopped, and Chen Qiu saw Bayan raise his head on Yanu's lap, looking at himself with a shocked face.
