Yongyang City is the capital of Chuzhou, with a population of 15,000 households, twice the size of Quyang County and more than three times that of Binjiang County.

Out of the state ya, walk a street to the south, and you will arrive at yaqian street.

Here, there are many shops, and it is the most lively and prosperous place in the entire state capital.

Huo Bao and Huo Bao's uncle and nephew walked in the crowd, dazzling.

"Uncle Bao, starting from this rouge shop, to the southern goods shop at the other end, there are five shops in a row...... The first four shops were all rented out before, and this southern goods store was run by themselves...... These shops are the property of the beheaded state, and the third master confiscated them when they entered the city......"

After speaking, the uncle and nephew walked to the southern goods store.

The young man in front of the door recognized Huo Bao and hurriedly greeted him: "You can come, the shopkeeper has been looking forward to it for a long time......

When the shopkeeper heard the movement, he also came out, and when he saw Huo Bao, he was surprised: "Bao Ye is also here!" ”

The shopkeeper was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was one of the first child soldiers. Because of his previous physical weakness, he was assigned to the auxiliary team.

is a literate person, and when the child soldiers in Quyang County expanded, he was already a tun chief.

Huo Bao recognized it and nodded: "Seal it!" ”

"Hey, it's the little one!"

The shopkeeper was very excited.

Bao Ye remembers his name, enough to brag about himself for half a year, and he is a soldier brought out by Bao Ye himself.

Huo Bao didn't rush to speak, but looked into the store.

It is said that it is a southern goods shop, but it is a circle of Duobao Pavilion attached to the wall, and the layout is very elegant, more like a cultural and antique shop.

Today, the shelves are empty.

Huo Bao smiled and said, "Uncle Bao, our business is good!" ”

Speaking of this, he felt that it was wrong again, and asked Feng Suan: "Didn't there be five truckloads of southern goods coming over yesterday afternoon, why didn't they put them on the table?" Still in a hurry to spread the word to me? ”

Feng Suan took the account book and said, "Brother Leopard, it's all sold out...... The previous inventory, the one we brought last time, and the one that was put into storage yesterday afternoon, were all sold out...... Not only was the spot sold out, but seven or eight families paid a deposit, and then booked a batch of southern goods, rouge, lacquerware, silk, nanmu boxes, snail carving, coral, ......"

Huo Bao was surprised, took the account book, and looked carefully: "Such a big capital? What's the picture? Even if you are well-informed and want to please the fifth grandfather, you don't need to have such a big capital here! ”

Huo Bao sensed that something was wrong.

What's the flattery to buy something?

If the Huo family is doing business, this can be regarded as a method; But the Huo family is not, which is unusual.

He asked for the account book, and he saw the one that paid the most deposit at the back, and the deposit was only 3,000 taels, and the order was silk, including Luo and yarn that can be worn now, and there are many satin, tweed and other materials that cannot be worn now.

Coincidentally, a familiar surname.

Especially!

Second Sister You, Third Sister You, is that You?

"Dream of Red Mansions" did not explain the origin of the You sisters' family, only that this You family was nominally a fallen official family, but looking at their sisters' upbringing, unruly, shameless, they really don't look like they were born in a serious scholarly family.

Even Mrs. You only knows how to enjoy it, and she takes the initiative to give her daughter to Jia Zhen's father and son to play, which can be described as wonderful.

The door style of the You family is all bad.

There is nothing obvious wrong with Jia Zhen's wife, You Shi, and she is in the book, but she has no wind and bones.

Whether it is cheating on the previous daughter-in-law, or ignoring the later father-son "gathering and talking", where is this acceptable to a serious woman?

The ancestors of the You family were born in businessmen?

Only the merchants will have no rules.

Look at the You family in the shop, there are other goods, and there are ten pairs of Nanmu boxes.

Nanmu boxes are precious, rich and noble families marry daughters, there is a pair of Nanmu boxes, and the dowry is brought up.

The You family is rich and rich, and they ordered ten pairs in one go.

"This You family is a big merchant in the city?" Huo Bao looked at Feng Suan.

"Yes, it's an old household in Chuzhou...... I couldn't get in line before, and Tang Ye only came out a little last month...... "Speaking of this, Feng Suan suddenly realized: "The people who come to our shop to buy things are all people who are involved with the state capital, and the people who are involved with Jiang Erye buy more things, and those who are involved with Ma Liuye and Master Lin buy less, but the You family has come out this time!" ”

Huo Bao said: "Uncle Bao, but what's wrong with the You family?" ”

Huo Bao nodded: "This is bold, you want to use us as guns!" ”

Huo Bao was furious: "Is this relying on Tang Ye's momentum? Deceived our family? ”

Huo Bao glared at Huo Bao: "Where did you get so much anger?" What I told you yesterday was all in the dog's head? It's just a businessman who climbed up, and he just got carried away for a while, so don't pull it on Tang Ye! ”

Huo Bao was still indignant, but he didn't dare to speak.

Feng Suan's eyes lit up: "Bao Ye is really discerning, isn't that the case!" The You family made a fortune by opening a wine shop, because the store was narrow, they wanted to expand the store in the early years, and negotiated the transfer with the people next door, but they were cut off by the Zhang family...... The Zhang family opened a silk shop, and their in-laws, the Li family, were a carpentry shop......"

Huo Bao looked at Feng Xuan carefully: "Are you a merchant's child?" ”

Feng Suan nodded, with a little sadness: "The small one is a businessman, the cloth village opened by the family, my father is kind-hearted, once he helped a Shu merchant in trouble, got the supply of Shu brocade, and offended his peers...... was set up to gamble, lost the family business, and sold our mother and son...... My mother told me to hide and jumped into the river by myself......" In the end, I couldn't cry anymore.

Huo Bao was dumbfounded when he heard this: "This ...... Don't they all say 'harmony makes money'? Why is this business done, and you still make you live and die? ”

"Shopping malls are like battlefields!" Huo Bao Dao.

Huo Bao regretted a little: "Uncle Bao, is my nephew causing trouble?" My nephew just wanted not to suffer a loss last time, so he asked for these shops...... I didn't expect people to take advantage of the loophole......"

All this bullshit has come to the fore.

How many big things are waiting, who is impatient to worry about this.

"There are pros and cons to everything...... It's just that we make quick money, and there's no need for bad people to ......"

Speaking of which, Huo Bao explained to Feng Suan: "Go back and return the deposits of each family, set a rule, and do not accept the reservation ......"

Feng Shu bowed down.

Huo Bao said to Huo Bao again: "Rouge, silk, and Nanmu boxes, which are operated by shops in the city, don't buy them next time...... Looking for Uncle Seven, his foreign goods store in Jinling was closed in a hurry, and he couldn't say that there was still stock in the warehouse......"

"Uh-huh!" Huo Bao's eyes lit up, this seventh master is a maritime merchant, even if the inventory is gone, the purchase door is there.

Feng Shu said: "Master Bao, Brother Leopard, the Zhang family also came over yesterday, and I want to ask if I can go to Jinling with our grain transportation team to sell goods......

In March, when the trade was cut off, many shops were running out of stock, and the shops on the street were already closed, and it was urgent to buy goods.

Huo Bao looked at his cousin.

Huo Bao said: "You make the deal, and you make your own decisions." ”

"Then should I go down? But we can't let them be in vain, and we have to think about how to charge on the way. Huo Bao rubbed his hands and said.

Huo Bao was kind, took the initiative to take a step back, and did not compete with these businessmen for profit, so he had to make a good profit here.

Huo Bao looked at Feng Shu again and said, "Are you from Hezhou?" ”

Zhen Shiyin lost his daughter, and went to his father-in-law with his wife Feng, and went to Yamato Prefecture.

I don't know if it's talking about Hezhou, which is next to Chuzhou.

Feng Xuan said with surprise on his face: "Exactly." ”

Huo Bao didn't mean to explain and went out of the shop.

……

Huo Bao was curious: "How does Uncle Bao know the roots of this kid?" But what's wrong? ”

"No, it's just that the accent has a smell over there!" Huo Bao Dao.

This seal is clever, but his background also limits his vision and development.

It seems that he was frightened by the ups and downs of the business sea, and did not let his children and grandchildren do business again.

It's just that there is no way to teach his son, and he raised Feng Sulai, who wants money and is shameless, and he pits Zhen Shiyin and Feng Shiyin.

Huainan is next to Jinling, and the surnames in the Dream of Red Mansions have appeared one after another.

Huo Bao was faintly excited.

Everyone looks at the Red Mansion, some people are "supporting Dai and depreciating Dai", and some people are "supporting Hai and depreciating Dai", but Huo Bao feels that "it is both beautiful".

The two heroines created by Cao Dada have their own style.

Xue Biao has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, that is, he is covered in brocade, with gemstone rings on his hands, and a nouveau riche posture; Now that he has changed to sea green and hung with Buddha beads, his eyebrows and eyes are less calculating, and he is really a little dusty.

Xue Biao's son has not been seen so far, and his daughter Sister Jin is six years old, but her eyebrows and eyes are not bad.

When Huo Bao thought of this, he inexplicably remembered what he had seen and heard on Xianhe Street in Jinling.

The boys and girls who were tied up were all Xue Biao's adopted sons and daughters.

There is also Xiaoxing, the former prefect of Jinling, who is said to be Xue Biao's sister to the outside world, but is actually Xue Biao's adopted sister.

The businessman's family, training such a woman, is specialized in "sex supply".

Such a specially trained woman has her own set of serving men, and she is more innocent than a dusty woman, and when she is sent to the inner house, she will be dumped as a prefect, and ordinary men can't resist it.

Almost overlooked!

Huo Bao didn't take the women in the state government seriously, but only thought that the gentry went out in order to curry favor with the white-shirted army.

Now it seems that it has to be screened well.

If someone behind the scenes has bad intentions and uses the "beauty trick" to provoke everyone's relationship, isn't it capsizing in the ditch?

Don't talk about others, let's just say Tang Guang, before he sent his nephew for the concubine, it is not unusual to be hooked to do next.

also used the excuse of "asking for a child", using the daughter of the You family to ask for a child, which is ridiculous.

Huo Bao already had a bad impression of the You family, and when he thought that Tang Guang was involved, he was even more concerned about the You family.

He was muttering in his heart, there was movement in his head, and a white shadow fell in front of him, and he hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it.

"Ahh With a scream, a small figure fell to the ground.

Huo Bao had a cold face, looked up, and there was a rope hanging on the second floor of the street, did this person climb the rope down and accidentally get out of his hand?

Huo Bao stood in front of his cousin, glaring at the figure lying on the ground, and his face was not good-looking.

If this happens to Uncle Bao......

Even if the oily skin is broken, it won't work!

Pedestrians on the road heard the movement and gathered around.

"What's going on?"

"Bumped into someone?"

"Why is this little lady lying on her stomach?"

There was a Confucian scholar who took pity on the fragrance and cherished the jade, dissatisfied with the appearance of the two uncles and nephews of the Huo family, and said righteously: "The blue sky and the white sun, what are you bullying the little lady?" ”

Huo Bao said angrily: "Where did the sour life come from? Blind, mouth full of feces! Obviously, this guy fell from above and almost smashed someone, why can't we innocent passers-by bear it? ”

He was articulate and spoke clearly.

There is also the hanging rope as evidence, and there are fewer people who suspect this uncle and nephew.

"It's really going to smash people, but it's amazing!"

"Yes, Zhao Er's father in the back street, he smashed something back then, and he was paralyzed directly!"

Huo Bao's eyes turned black when he heard this, and he was terrified, and he looked at the person on the ground even more unkindly.

The mouthy Confucian lost his body and ran away with a smoke.

Huo Bao deliberately looked at the shop where the rope was located, and the pretense was picked, and he couldn't see any livelihood when he was closed.

There was a sudden silence all around, and only the sound of saliva swallowing remained.
