The bright moon hung high, and a small boat slowly rowed towards the river in the reflection of the moonlight on the calm river.

On the boat, a pair of boys and girls sat opposite each other, the girl closed the moon and was ashamed, with ice muscles and jade bones, as if she was talking to the boy.

And the young man has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he seems to be a little shy when he hears the girl's love words, and he is blushing, lowering his head, and rowing hard.

It's a beautiful picture of a concubine.

On the boat, Shen Wansan's face was already flushed, and since the girl woke up, she had been sarcastic all the time. Words such as "obscene" and "pervert" are endless, but what the girl said sounds reasonable, Shen Wansan really can't refute it, so he can only bear it silently.

Sometimes Shen Wansan really regretted saving her, and even had the urge to kick her off the boat.

The boat finally rowed to the shore, and Shen Wansan couldn't wait to jump onto the shore with an arrow step.

When the girl saw that Shen Wansan was about to leave when she went ashore, she hurriedly shouted:

"Stop, where are you going? You're gone, what should I do? ”

Shen Wansan stopped, did not look back, and said:

"I don't need to tell you where I'm going, I've got you out, and it doesn't matter to me what you do."

The girl said angrily:

"Sure enough, it's a ruthless pervert, and you don't need to be responsible for doing that kind of thing to others?"

Shen Wansan couldn't bear it, but he couldn't get angry at a girl, so he could only say:

"The one who is clear is self-purifying, I have done nothing to you, and there is no need to take any responsibility to you." After saying that, lift your legs and leave.

Seeing that Shen Wansan was really going to leave this time, the girl hurriedly said:

"Then even if I'm a passerby, and now I'm injured and can't move, you can't die without help, right?"

Shen Wansan was very helpless, but what the girl said made sense, so she had to turn around and say to the girl:

"It's okay if I take you away, but you have to promise me not to mention anything about the island again."

The girl nodded and didn't speak, and Shen Wansan walked towards the girl.

When the girl saw Shen Wansan coming, she raised an arm and wanted Shen Wansan to help her up, but who knows, Shen Wansan hugged her, and the girl was frightened and exclaimed:

"Ahh What are you doing? ”

Shen Wansan said solemnly:

"This place is only half a river away from the White Lotus Sect's stockade, it's really dangerous, it's inconvenient for you to move, we have to leave quickly, you can bear with it."

The girl whispered in her mouth:

"Excuses are just ......"

Without waiting for the girl to finish speaking, Shen Wansan glared:

"What is it?"

The girl hurriedly changed her words with a smirk on her face:

"Good people, good people are not good."

Shen Wansan's internal strength was running fast in the woods, and the girl was very light, so it didn't have much impact on the speed.

After running for a while, Shen Wansan felt that the girl in his arms was very quiet, so he secretly glanced at the girl by checking the gap in the road.

I saw that the girl's face was flushed, and she pressed her head tightly against Shen Wansan's chest, without saying a word.

Shen Wansan felt that what he had just said might be too heavy, so he found a topic and asked:

"What's your name?"

The girl replied:

"Glass."

"Is your surname Liu?" Shen Wansan asked.

Liuli paused and said:

"It's called Liuli, I don't have a surname, I was picked up by an old beggar when I was a child, he kept calling me a girl, and when I was seven years old, the old beggar died, so I begged by myself, and then I gave my own name."

"I'm sorry for mentioning your sadness." Shen Wansan said.

"Nothing, get used to it." Ruri said

"Then where is your home, I'll send you back in a moment." Shen Wansan said.

"I don't have a home, and now I live in a ruined temple east of Zhouzhuang, where I was caught by that mad nobe." Ruri said.

Shen Wansan thought for a while and said:

"I know that temple, I always went there to play when I was young, but you can't go back, it's too dangerous there now, I'll take you home in a while."

Ruri's eyes widened and she said:

"That's not going to work, how can I be in the same room as you."

"Don't worry, there are other houses at home, and there are special people to take care of you." Shen Wansan explained.

"Oh. Then bother you. Liuli said in a whisper, but there was a smug look on her face, which was undetectable.

At the door of Shen's house, Steward Liu looked at Shen Wansan with a puzzled face, and asked puzzledly:

"Young master, is this young lady ......?"

"Ah, Uncle Liu, this is the sister of Zhang Shide at the bow of the boat, I went out with them to play, the conditions on the dock are too poor, a girl's house, I am afraid that she is not used to it, so I took her home to live, and it is also the friendship of the landlord."

Seeing that Liuli was so beautiful, he looked at Shen Wansan again, and then looked at the high moon in the sky, Steward Liu seemed to understand something, and hurriedly said earnestly:

"Understood, understood!"

Shen Wansan looked at Steward Liu's expression and asked in confusion:

"Uncle Liu, what do you understand? Don't think in the wrong way. ”

When Steward Liu heard Shen Wansan say this, he seemed to have confirmed the idea in his heart again:

"Clearly, young master, which room do you think is appropriate for the young lady to arrange?"

"Uncle Liu, you can do it." Shen Wansan was a little helpless, and said as he walked towards the courtyard.

Behind him came the voice of Steward Liu:

"Understood, understood. Then young lady, you can come with the old man. ”

"Then there is Uncle Lao Liu." Liuli said gently.

Shen Wansan was slightly stunned when he heard Liuli's voice, and couldn't help but look back, Liuli was facing Steward Liu, very decent, like a lady of everyone, where is there still a little bit of a poisonous tongue woman on the boat.

Shen Wansan returned to his room, just about to change into his practice clothes and go to practice the Imperial Spirit Heart Sutra. But he found that he still had the gown of the mad nobunaga in his hand.

A sense of disgust came out of my heart, and I was about to throw it aside, when suddenly a paper bag fell out of my gown.

Shen Wansan curiously picked up the paper bag, and the word "rejuvenation" was written crookedly on the paper bag.

When I opened the paper package, I saw a pile of white powder, and it seemed that this was the rejuvenation of the ecstasy.

Shen Wansan took out a white porcelain bottle from the cabinet, carefully poured the powder into it, plugged the spout again, and then took a wooden box and packed it before putting it back in the drawer.

At this time, noisy footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and Shen Wansan opened the door a crack and looked outside.

A group of maids and women were busy carrying hot water and walking towards the side house in the courtyard, and their whispers were heard from time to time.

"That young lady was brought back by the young master?"

"Isn't it? It seems to be called Ruri. ”

"Is it called Ruri? What a good name, and the person is very good-looking. ”

"Yes, yes, look at the thin skin and tender meat, the young master also said that it was the sister of the bow of the boat, who would believe it."

"Is it possible that the family that runs the boat can teach such a polite young lady?"

"Forget it, don't say it, they're all from here, the young master is young, I'm sorry! Hehehehehe......"

……

Shen Wansan secretly screamed in his heart: There are so many empty rooms at home, why does Uncle Liu have to arrange her in my courtyard? It's over, this time it's completely unexplainable.

Early the next morning, Shen Wansan called Steward Liu to the hall and said:

"Uncle Liu, I'm leaving today, how are the goods prepared?"

Steward Liu replied:

"According to the young master's orders, the cotton and silk section had already set off for Dadu's business half a month ago, and the tea, rice, and cultural antiques were all on the ship last night. Now it's time to go. ”

Shen Wansan nodded, and then asked:

"I've got all the silver tickets ready, right?"

"It's all ready, there are 800,000 taels here. If it's not enough, there are still businesses in Dadu, and last year you notified them that they would not use Changzhou to report accounts, and there should be about 50,000 taels of businesses over there. Steward Liu replied.

Shen Wansan took the silver ticket, took out a few more pieces of paper and continued:

"Uncle Liu, I will be here for a few months, or more than a year, and I will leave the affairs outside the family to you, this is the plan of the various trading firms after I leave, and I will leave it to you to arrange. Thank you for your hard work. ”

"Knowing the young master, you have to be more careful along the way. Belch...... Did you have a good night's rest last night? Miss Liuli hasn't gotten up yet? Steward Liu asked meaningfully.

"Good, good!" As soon as Shen Wansan saw Steward Liu's expression, he turned around and walked out of the hall.

In Daru Huachi Mansion, Changzhou County, Shen You and Shen Wansan, father and son, stood respectfully in the middle of the hall, sitting with Daru Huachi in their hands, looking at him with a smile on their faces.

"Shen You, you sit there and talk, I called your father and son over this time because I want to discuss something with you." Daru Huachi said.

"Master Xie." Shen You bowed, then sat on the chair on the side of the hall, while Shen Wansan stood aside.

"If your lord has something to tell you to do, how can you discuss it?" Shen You continued.

"Eh, this is different, we have to discuss it together. You know, my lord, I have been fighting all my life, and there are many cronies around me. Over the years, with the help of your father and son, I have earned some more money. However, yesterday my subordinates proposed that they also want to take out some silver and let your father and son help operate the operation, you see this matter......" Daru Huachi did not finish speaking, and deliberately pulled a long tone.

Shen You glanced at Shen Wansan next to him, Shen Wansan naturally understood, and hurriedly answered:

"Dare to ask your lordship, who are they? Is it reliable? ”

"They are all my subordinates for many years, loyal to me, and absolutely reliable." Daru Huachi said.

Shen Wansan thought for a moment, and then asked:

"Then there's no problem. We Han people have a saying that one sheep is also driven and two sheep are also released. It's okay on my side. ”

"I mean, adding so many people at once, will it affect our ......" Daru Huachi stopped talking.

"I understand what my lord means, it stands to reason that the more principal we have, the greater the profit. But you know, there must be profits and losses in doing business, like we have cooperated for so many years, this year's earnings and next year's losses, all said in the past, but others are not necessarily, after all, personal interests are involved. That's why I asked the adults if these people were reliable. Shen Wansan said.

Daru Huachi listened to Shen Wansan's words, nodded thoughtfully, and then said:

"What you said is indeed reasonable, if you lose some, I believe that your Shen family will be able to earn it back sooner or later, and others will not be sure. Is there anything you can do to minimize the risk? ”

Shen Wansan thought for a while, and then said:

"It stands to reason that as long as it is a transaction, there is a risk, but although the risk of a transaction is not low, it can make people willing to use their own money to earn silver for us."

As soon as Daru Huachi heard Shen Wansan's words, he suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked:

"Is there such a good thing in the world? Let others willingly take money to transfer money for us? Let's hear it. ”

Shen Wansan nodded with a smile, then took out a silver ticket from his arms and said:

"My lord, what do you think this is?"

Daru Huachi replied in confusion:

"Silver ticket, what's wrong?"

Shen Wansan says:

"Yes, this is a silver ticket of 1,000 taels. I'm going to Dadu, it's a long way away, and I have to carry a silver ticket, which is convenient and safe. But you must know that most of this trip is thousands of miles away, and during this time, someone is taking my money to make money. And I have more than a thousand taels here, and I am not the only one who uses this silver ticket. Do you understand this time? ”

Daru Huachi said with understanding:

"You mean the silver number?"
