The day after Liang Shishi returned to Beijing, the Hongji shop officially began to sell grain, and the Hongji guy and the shopkeeper Sun who came back with her rushed over, only to send her back to the house in the inner city, what happened in Zhouzhuang, she naturally didn't talk to others, first, she had doubts in her heart, and didn't know what kind of mentality she should use to face what Hongji did, on the other hand, she didn't want to cause trouble for that person. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since returning to Beijing, Liang Shishi's house has been visited from time to time, she was originally recognized as a talented woman in Beijing, and now has the reputation of Jade Bodhisattva, naturally more favored by literati and Confucians, a few familiar Qing people also took advantage of her acquaintance, or invited her to her own literary meeting, or directly brought people over, she also took this opportunity to publicize what she saw and heard outside Beijing, all of which were seen with her own eyes, and the natural reason was reasonable, but it shocked the literati and Qing people in Beijing, and there were many donors for a while.

"Shishi also bought grain from Hong Ji? I heard that my sister knows someone from Hong Ji? "The Oiran of Shangjing, the twilight rain of Pinxianglou, good at singing and dancing, and the figure is also the best, today she took a few familiar sons to Liang Shishi's party here, not just curiosity or other reasons, she asked about the relationship between Liang Shishi and Hong Ji.

"Well, if I know the shopkeeper Sun there, I will let him help deal with it." Liang Shishi responded with a smile. Twilight listened with a confused look on her face, "Now Hong Ji is the only one who sells grain in Shangjing, and other people's families either give porridge or simply send some money and grain, but they will do business." The more Twilight Yu spoke, the more angry she became, and several sons also listened attentively.

"A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and now the hungry people are everywhere, and they are still selling grain there at a high price, which is really disgusting."

Liang Shishi listened to Twilight's words, and then looked at the people around her from time to time, and felt that something was wrong, "That's not what they said, what they did was trading, and they ...... at the beginning."

"At the beginning, there was no grain in the grain shops in the city, and since they didn't take it out early, they sold it, and they sold it at such a high price, which was really profit-seeking." Twilight Yu said and turned her head to look at Liang Shishi on the side, "My sister spoke straight, and it wasn't to my sister, but what Hong Ji did was too uncomfortable, and now that it has been sold for so many days, other families have started to give porridge, and I don't see them opening a porridge shack, sister, did you say they did too much." ”

Liang Shishi looked at the other party, her face had become gloomy, and at this moment, she could naturally hear the meaning of Twilight Yu's words, but she couldn't argue with anything, how could what Hong Ji did be able to say on the surface......

"My sister is not easy to say, I naturally understand, I have heard it a long time ago, Hong Ji is the property of the poet fairy Li Taibai, he has a relationship with you, you don't want to say that he is not, I can understand." Twilight Yu looked like I understood, and turned her head to look at the few people around her, "People outside call Sister Liang a jade bodhisattva, she has her own bodhisattva heart, but it's a pity that she was used by Hong Ji and wasted her hard work, I'm a straight person, as long as my sister says a word, I will replace her in the future, so that she will have less trouble, and everyone will save everyone a piece of money to cheapen those profiteers." ”

"Okay, good, Miss Dusk is really righteous, Miss Shishi is not easy, and we don't embarrass her, since Miss Dusk is willing to come forward, we will naturally help each other." A few sons who came with Duyu said loudly, but they didn't mean to let Liang Shishi speak.

Looking at the appearance of everyone in this room, Liang Shishi was full of anger at first, but finally laughed, the laughter was crisp, but it instantly quieted everyone in the room.

"Shishi, what are you laughing at, do you think I can't do anything in the twilight rain, or are you laughing at the few sons here?" Twilight looked at her with a cold face, and Liang Shishi stopped.

"Sister, don't blame, I just suddenly thought of two lines of poetry, the more I taste, the more interesting it becomes."

"Oh? Could it be that it is the masterpiece of that poet fairy again? If it's so interesting, let everyone listen to it too? ”

Liang Shishi stood up, straightened her clothes, looked at the room of people, and couldn't help but shake her head, "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through it." I'll also write down these two sentences, everyone? Then he left the people behind and departed......

In the next few days, the news about Hong Ji's mercenary and high-priced grain sales spread among the literati in Shangjing, and various porridge shops were also in full swing, and even some had hung up slogans to boycott Hong Ji, and some good literati were directly blocked at the door of Hongji's shop, which was also a unique scenery in Beijing.

"I'm sorry I got you in trouble." Seeing that things were getting worse, Liang Shishi went to Wangyue Tower in person, looking at the young man who was busy with green in front of the bookcase, and felt more and more guilty, "I only recently inquired about the shares of several grain merchants in Pinxiang Building, and Duyu should be ......"

"I know from that Oiran contest." Li Huai motioned for her to sit down, "She's also a poor person, but she's just a marionette, now Hong Ji can be said to be fighting, shopping malls are like battlefields, these means are not excessive, I also expected it." ”

The shopping mall is like a battlefield, Liang Shishi also has a lot of emotion, and when she thinks of Zhouzhuang's affairs, she seems to be able to understand a little, "So, you are also a general?" Shopkeeper Sun, they are your generals? ”

Li Huai smiled, "Just say you're smart." Li Huai walked out from behind the bookcase and stretched, "Zhou Zhuang's matter, Sun Gui told me, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it, and I've always wanted to talk to you." ”

"Childe is a friend to me, and Shishi is willing to trust a friend." Liang Shishi likes the tone of the young man's speech, not showing off, not proud, but like a chat between two friends, "Actually, today's situation is inevitable, the reason is not outside, but in the imperial court, how many years of operation of the Yan family, several big families have long been hugging together, the prince wants to take power, naturally there will be a fight, just like this grain price, the prince wants to control it, they will let him rise, and it will rise more than in previous years, more menacing." Liang Shishi also heard many literati talk about the situation in the imperial court on weekdays, knew the relationship between the two forces, and nodded after listening to what Li Huai said.

"And what I want to do is to prepare in advance, I can't hide it, Zhouzhuang's matter is not the first, nor is it the last, Hong Ji wants to be big, to fight with these big clans, to break a way in this troubled world, I must do something that others dare not do, can not do. If it's just conformism, I'm afraid that the signboard will be torn down. Li Huai said and smiled, but Liang Shishi could feel the hardships behind it.

"What about the people of this world, can't Gongzi find a way to live for them?"

"Poetry, I believe in natural selection, survival of the fittest, the struggle between the prince and Yan Xiang is a catastrophe for the Hua Dynasty, compassion for the world can not save the world, what I want to do is to inspire this catastrophe when the Hua Dynasty still has the strength to spare, there is a new life after the pain, rather than muddy, it is better to be reborn from the fire."

Liang Shishi's eyes widened, she couldn't have imagined that the gentle young man in front of her actually had the heart of Shura, which made her feel cold all over her body.

"Red sleeves said that I am Shura Dao, I think it is good, you are a jade bodhisattva, you should not be afraid of my asura, right?"

Liang Shishi shook her head, "Asura also worships the Dharma, doesn't the son know?" ”

Li Huai was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the other party was a real talented woman, and couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

Since they can tolerate each other, the conversation after that is much easier, Li Huai said some things that Hong Ji did in other continents, the details of which naturally cannot be explained clearly, but it is enough to make Liang Shishi either surprised or shocked, but Liang Shishi did not have much disgust in her heart, but felt that these methods were more upright than the slander and curse in Shangjing.

From the conversation, she also gradually learned that there are several sources of Hong Ji's grain, some of which were infiltrated by Hong Ji in various places like Zhouzhuang granary, and then sold by force or voluntarily, and some were contacted by large households in the south, or cooperated or traded, so that there are more than a dozen grain shops in Shangjing today, of which Hong Ji pays more than money.

"Those words outside are getting more and more outrageous and ugly, you don't want to do anything?"

"Hey...... If they are willing to say it, let them say it, the province will cause other things, it is estimated that it will only be a few days, and the place in Beijing is originally used to delay some time, and the real show has not yet been staged. Li Huai said and glanced at the letters on the bookcase, although Liang Shishi couldn't see what was written on it, but she recognized that those were all hemp paper from the south.
