Volume 2: The Beginning of the Foundation, Lu Gifts. Chapter 66: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow.
After Liuli ran out in a hurry, Shen Wansan sat quietly in the room by himself, with a smile on his lips.
He was not angry with Liuli, but Liuli's lively personality made Shen Wansan's depressed psychology no longer so uncomfortable.
Now he is carrying too many things, the blood feud of the Shen family, the overthrow of the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty, the whereabouts of Lingyun Palace, and the recovery of Wan'er who was taken away.
Thinking of this, Shen Wansan always had a feeling of not knowing where to start, which was really confusing.
But Shen Wansan knows that no matter how complicated or difficult it is, he must go step by step, even if he takes a step, he will be one step closer to success.
Now I am too weak, and everything in front of me is like an insurmountable mountain.
You must make yourself stronger, whether it is in strength, skill, or money, you must make yourself the best in order to have the capital to knock down all difficulties.
Thinking of this, Shen Wansan took out the token that Wei Lao left for him when he left, and he would carry it with him every day.
In the past, this token has always been lit with a white dot, but today he found that there is another white dot next to this white dot, which should represent the glass.
Looking at it, Shen Wansan smiled and said to himself:
"In the past, you didn't want to leave, but now even if you leave, I won't let you go, because you are also the hope of Lingyun Palace."
"Tuk Tuk!"
A knock on the door interrupted Shen Wansan's musings.
"Come in."
"Young master, let's go to Nantong." The steward said.
"I see. Dock your boats. Shen Wansan said.
Shen Wansan knocked on Liuli's door, only to hear the sound of Suosuo in the room, and Liuli's sleepy-eyed beautiful face appeared in the crack of the door.
"It's time to Nantong, let's get off the boat." Shen Wansan said.
"Oh, good. So fast. I just fell asleep. Liuli said in a daze.
"It just so happens that I'm hungry, let's go, eat something delicious." Speaking of eating, Liuli immediately came to the spirit.
When I got out of the cabin, I saw that the sun was almost below the ground level, and the whole sky was dyed red by the setting sun.
Nantong is a big port, and the port is crowded with people, all of whom are businessmen coming and going, and sweaty workers, which seem to be very busy.
Shen Wansan took Liuli to a table where a large number of workers had gathered, and when the people inside saw Shen Wansan, they quickly stood up and said:
"Hey, Third Young Master, have you arrived?" With that, he separated the crowd with his hands.
"What is this for?" Shen Wansan asked.
"Ah, isn't this our Shen family's cargo ship here, these workers have unloaded their goods for a day, and they are paying for their wages."
Shen Wansan nodded and asked:
"Will you be alive tomorrow?"
"Of course, as long as the cargo ship is on this day, the work on our dock will not be stopped. Today is mainly to unload the goods we shipped today.
The shopkeeper explained, and the goods purchased tomorrow will be loaded on the empty ship. Don't you still have to pull the goods to the capital? ”
"Yes, since there are still goods in the past few days, you can add ten more cents to the big brothers when you settle the bill today." Shen Wansan said.
"It's... It's hard to repay this time? The bookkeeper said.
"It's okay, just say what I said, and tomorrow I will go to the counter and talk to your shopkeeper in person." Shen Wansan said.
When the account office heard Shen Wansan say this, he immediately agreed:
"Well, young master, I'll do what you say."
When the workers heard that they were going to give money for processing, they were very happy, and they thanked Shen Wansan loudly.
"Thank you, Young Master Shen!"
"Young Master Wansan, you are really a good person!"
"The Third Young Master is a living Bodhisattva."
"What a living bodhisattva, that's the God of Wealth."
Shen Wansan hugged his fists at everyone, and then walked out of the crowd with Liuli.
"Brother, why did you give them processing money?" Ruri asked curiously.
"Because we still have to load a lot of goods these days, there will be a lot of people on the dock tomorrow during the day, but the number of workers on the dock is limited, and some people will have goods and cannot find workers to load the ship.
And if we pay more when we settle the bill, tomorrow the workers will be willing to load our ship first.
And as long as they pass by the port, the seller who does not live there will be willing to sell the goods to us who are fast on the ship, if they don't have to worry about it, they will finish the transaction after going to have a meal, and the price will be relatively cheap, so that we will earn back the wages we give the workers. ”
Ruri exclaimed:
"It turns out that you won't lose money if you calculate it, and it saves time. Can you still make money like this? ”
Shen Wansan nodded.
"Then I'll go to be a thief, and I'll learn to do business with you in the future."
"Good!" Shen Wansan readily agreed.
The two of them chatted and walked, and suddenly, Liuli suddenly hid behind Shen Wansan and whispered:
"Don't speak. Get in my way. ”
Although Shen Wansan was a little puzzled, he also followed Liuli's instructions and did not make any special moves. To outsiders, it looks like a girl is coquettish there.
After a few black-clad people passed, Liuli quickly walked in front of Shen Wansan.
"Do you know those people?" Shen Wansan asked.
Liuli hurriedly put her index finger on her lips, motioned to Shen Wansan to make a small sound, and lowered her voice and said:
"I don't know."
"And what are you afraid of?" Shen Wansan asked.
Ruri quickened her pace and walked forward, and only after she had distanced herself from the group of lustful people did she turn around and answer:
"Do you remember the portrait of the woman I picked up that night?"
"You say this? I threw it away. As he spoke, Shen Wansan took out a piece of paper from his arms.
Liuli's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly stuffed Shen Wansan's hand back:
"Don't take it out, that's it."
Shen Wansan says:
"So what are you afraid of? Didn't he drink too much that day? By not knowing you. Doesn't this make people more suspicious? ”
Liuli seemed to have just reacted, straightened her chest and said:
"yes, I don't have anything to fear. It's just that I'm used to it, and I always have to hide when I see the bitter master. ”
"But your courage is big enough, when I passed by just now, I felt that there is a master among those lustful people, and his strength is above me, you dare to steal such a person!" Saying that, Shen Wansan subconsciously glanced back.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw that one of the people with yellow eyes was also looking at him.
Shen Wansan didn't panic, and naturally turned his head to me and looked at Liuli with a smile.
"What are you afraid of? I have a nameless body, and he can't catch me. Liuli didn't see this scene, and was still bragging triumphantly.
Shen Wansan shook his head helplessly, and he didn't mean to break the glass.
This time, Shen Wansan didn't take Liuli to turn around, and came directly to a restaurant, which is called Drunken Immortal Residence.
Although the situation of the restaurant is not as big as that of Guangyuan Building, the decoration is antique and very exquisite, and there are only almost all private seats in the house, and only a few scattered tables.
Shen Wansan walked to the second floor with a glass car, and the little two in the store were just about to greet him, but when he saw that it was Shen Wansan, he didn't say a word, and ran straight to the innermost seat on the second floor.
Liuli wondered:
"This shop looks quite classy, but this little two really doesn't know how to be polite, not only does not receive customers, but also runs in front of customers."
Shen Wansan smiled and didn't speak, but also walked towards the elegant seat where Xiao Er went with Liuli.
There was still some distance from the seat, and I heard someone inside shouting:
"Is there anyone you do this to buy and sell? Halfway through a meal, you're going to change the table for us? I don't think you want to do it. ”
"But Childe, I told you when you came to beat me, this seat is not open to the public, and you still have to come in." Xiao Er said to me in embarrassment.
"Young Master, I just want to sit here. How? Do you open for business, do you still have seats that don't sell? The voice rang out again.
"But Childe, didn't we talk about it? If our host comes, can you change the table? ”
"It was just now, and it's now. Young Master, I don't want to change it now. As soon as the words fell, there was a crisp sound of "pop" in the room. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Er covered his face and was pushed out.
"How can you hit someone?" Xiao Er said with a crying voice.
Shen Wansan smiled and was about to step forward to comfort him. The people in the house walked out scolding.
"What's wrong with beating you, do you know that I am ...... young master"
Before the word "who" came out, this person met Shen Wansan's gaze.
When Shen Wansan saw this person, the smile on his face became even brighter, and he raised his voice and said:
"Isn't this the Murong son of the Pingjiang Murong family?" After speaking, he also hugged his fists and gave a salute.
Murong Yucheng's arrogant face just now suddenly stiffened, and he stammered:
"How about you."
But seeing Shen Wansan's polite appearance, he turned around and looked inside the seat, and immediately had confidence again, and said:
"Isn't this Shen Wansan from Zhouzhuang, Changzhou County? What a coincidence. Can you, a country man, come to such an elegant restaurant to eat? The words were full of contempt.
When Liuli saw Murong Yucheng's appearance, she couldn't wait to go up and give him a slap. was stopped by Shen Wansan's outstretched hand.
Shen Wansan was not angry, and said with a smile on his face:
"I didn't expect that the restaurant I personally designed could be called "elegant" in the eyes of Murong Gongzi, I am really ashamed. ”
Murong Yucheng was stunned:
"You designed it?"
"Yes, not only the design, but the whole restaurant is built with silver? Let Childe see and smile. ”
Murong Yucheng pretended to be calm and said:
"It's... What's the matter, you see that you don't understand the rules, it must be that you are usually negligent in discipline. ”
"That's really sorry, it affects Murong Gongzi's Yaxing, although this elegant seat is reserved for his own family, but since there are guests already seated, he shouldn't disturb the guests anymore."
Shen Wansan's words obviously meant to show weakness, and the Murong Yucheng he said was very useful.
Shen Wansan continued:
"Moreover, I must have known that it was Murong Gongzi......" Speaking of this, Shen Wansan paused.
Murong Yucheng also took advantage of this moment to straighten his back, ready to listen to Shen Wansan say a few more good words.
But Shen Wansan's expression changed,
"I would have ordered someone to blast you out, get out."
