Chapter 371: Zhu Guobi's Gift
Taipingfang, the original Wei State Mansion, should be called Pingnan Hou Mansion at this moment, on the lintel of the wide gate, the plaque of "Pingnan Hou Mansion" four gold characters has been hung up, and the font is actually the current emperor Chongzhen mentioned, rewarding meritorious heroes.
Several wounded and disabled soldiers were left behind as the gatehouse of the Hou Mansion, and the traces of the original raid in the Hou Mansion have been completely eliminated, and the maids and servants walked during the walk, a harmonious scene.
The old marquis Chen Jianghe refused to come here anyway, he himself had the title of Marquis of Zhongyi, and Chongzhen also gave him a mansion, although the scale and scenery were far from here, Chen Jianghe was willing. Although he is developed, he has not forgotten his roots, and has married Aunt Zhang to fill the house. Naturally, he didn't want to stay with his son.
In the Hou Mansion of Nuoda, there is only one master, Chen Yue, and Wu Wan'er, who is half the master, after all, Wu Wan'er is not the main house. But in the Hou Mansion, Wu Wan'er was the most talkative, because Chen Yue was the shopkeeper and handed over many things to her.
Chen Yue was about to go to Yangzhou, but Wu Wan'er was left in Nanjing to manage the business of the firm, which made Wu Wan'er really uncomfortable and angry at Chen Yue.
"Wan'er, what is the most profitable business in the world?" Chen Yue asked with a smile.
"If you buy grain in summer and autumn and sell it in spring when it is not green, you can get 50% of the profit, but if you transport the grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the border and even the grassland in the north, you can get 50% of the profit.
There is no business that is the most profitable, just the way to do business. ”
Wu Wan'er glanced at Chen Yue and said.
"Okay, good, don't say the most, just say that the business is the most profitable." Chen Yue said with a smile.
"If you want to say that the most profitable thing to make money is, of course, salt, as long as there is a salt quote issued by the government, you can earn silver even if you lie down, and you can earn millions of dollars a year." Wu Wan'er thought for a moment and said.
"Master, you mean?" Wu Wan'er's eyes lit up suddenly.
"Haha, the master is about to go to Yangzhou to be the governor of Jiangbei, and he will be the biggest official in Huaiyang in the future, how can he let go of Huaiyan's business?" Chen Yue said with a smile.
"If you can really monopolize the business of Huaiyan, then you will really be rich!" Wu Wan'er was overjoyed.
"Wan'er, hurry up and get the Sihai Commercial Bank in Nanjing, wait for the master to gain a firm foothold in Yangzhou, and take all the Huaiyan business, and then you will go to Yangzhou to help me."
Chen Yue gently picked up Wu Wan'er's chin with his hand and said with a smile.
"Master ......" Under Chen Yue's unscrupulous gaze, Wu Wan'er's body softened.
"Lord Binghou, Funing Hou Zhu Guobi sent an invitation." Just then, an untimely voice sounded outside.
Chen Yue sighed and gave up the idea of prostitution during the day.
......
This time, Zhu Guobi invited Chen Yue to a place not a green building, but a quiet courtyard. The small courtyard is not big, only two entrances, but it is extraordinarily chic.
Zhu Guobi greeted him with a smile on his face at the door and welcomed Chen Yue into the house. Under Chen Yue's recommendation, Chongzhen had appointed him as the governor of Caojiang, responsible for the defense of the Yangtze River.
"Brother Chen is about to go to Yangzhou to take office, brother, I will give my brother a big gift." Zhu Guobi said mysteriously.
"Yes, brother, I'll see." Chen Yue said with a smile.
In the living room, Zhu Guobi asked Chen Yue to be the master, but Chen Yue had to sit down.
Soon, several handsome maids entered, serving plates of dishes, and a sumptuous banquet was served.
"Brother Zhu, where are the gifts?" Chen Yue asked with a smile.
Zhu Guobi didn't speak, clapped his hands, and with his applause, the sound of "Zheng Zheng" pipa sounded, melodious and tactful, and then a girl in a white dress walked in with a pipa in her arms, with a beautiful face like a fairy who descended to earth.
Kou Baimen!
He had already vaguely guessed what Zhu Guobi was going to give him, and when he saw the real person, Chen Yue couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Brother Chen, how's it going?" Zhu Guobi asked with a smile, in order to redeem Kou Baimen, he had spent too much thought.
"Brother Zhu, you hurt me, and I was impeached by hundreds of officials in the court." Chen Yue's eyes were staring at Kou Baimen, who was playing the pipa, but he said in his mouth.
Zhu Guobi smiled embarrassedly, it was he who sent someone to beat that Fang Mingxia, but he let Chen Yue take the blame and let Yushi impeach.
The two stopped talking, silently listening to the melodious sound of the lute.
After playing the song, Chen Yue applauded gently, "Baimen girl, you play so well!" As for what is good, it is not clear with Chen Yue's artistic level.
"Baimen has seen Master Hou!" Kou Baimen held the pipa in his arms and bowed to Chen Yue reservedly.
"Brother, you and Miss Kou have a good chat, brother, I have to take a step in advance." Zhu Guobi stood up with interest, said goodbye and left, leaving Chen Yue with a piece of paper before leaving.
When Chen Yue picked it up and looked at it, it was Kou Baimen's deed, Kou Baimen's body was in prostitution, and this deed was proof that she had sold herself.
"Miss Baimen, you are free from now on." Chen Yue gently placed the deed in front of Kou Baimen.
Looking at his deed of sale, Kou Baimen was filled with joy and sorrow, but he didn't take it, but said miserably, "The concubine was born in a prostitution family, even if she is a free person, who will treat the concubine as a good family, how can you talk about freedom!" ”
Chen Yue smiled, "You see yourself as a free person in your heart, that is, you are free, and you can naturally live happily." ”
Kou Baimen pondered for a while, then smiled, like a flower blooming, "Master Hou, let the concubine sing a song to you." ”
"Sorry for the years,
The jade step snubbed people and was emaciated
Begonia spring painting,
Wandering on the carving for a long time.
Sorrowful silver bed,
Tear-wet double red sleeves.
After the lamp is disabled,
Dream back to Wuyou,
The light moon is sparse and the curtains are transparent.
......
”
Chen Yue still left, he forcibly suppressed the desire he left behind and left.
Kou Baimen is a wonderful person, a woman who is as tender as water, although as long as she moves her fingers, she can be taken down. But Chen Yue still hesitated, there was still Wu Wan'er at home, Princess Kunxing in the palace, and she had just been impeached by the imperial historians, which made Chen Yue feel a hurdle in his heart.
There are many beautiful women in the world, if you like it and include it in the harem, won't you become a legendary stallion? This is what Chen Yue does not want.
Although he is also lustful and has a love for beauty, his soul comes from the afterlife, and there is a principle that cannot be surmounted, that is, he can't do "popping" without feelings.
Some people may say that he is pretentious, and some people may say that he is hypocritical, but Chen Yue himself thinks so. Although in another time and space, he has a few G island country literary films in his computer, although he knows everything about men and women, but he is still a pure person in essence, at least Chen Yue himself thinks so.
ps: Dizzy, I found that I really can't write emotional dramas, and I don't want to write a plot that directly pushes down such a LO, so be it. Change the map in the next chapter.
