Under the careful care of Qingyang and He, the Luo sisters' lives are very peaceful.

Yue'er temporarily stopped for a few days, and Tang Jing became more and more fearless, often not returning at night, and He couldn't always sue in front of his mother-in-law, not to mention that it was useless to sue, so he had to count on Zhu Hui, hoping that he could persuade Tang Jing.

In the evening of this day, Tang Jing took a lot of silver from home, and after scolding the He family, he went out angrily, and Zhu Hui quietly chased him out, following him all the way to the bank of the Qinhuai River.

At the beginning of the lanterns on both sides of Qinhuai, the gold powder buildings were lined up one after another, and the unruly Tang Jing went straight to the Lingbo painting boat. Zhu Hui followed behind him, only to see him beckoning to the painting boat, and the two warblers walked up to him, and the three of them hooked their shoulders and made love for a while, and the two warblers took him away.

They came to the green building not far away, only to see a red lantern hanging in front of the door, with a gold-lettered plaque on it, covered with a big red peony knot, with three big characters written: Cuihualou!

Seeing Tang Jing enter the Cuihua Building, Zhu Hui wanted to rush in to stop him, but he didn't have the courage, so he kept wandering in front of this building.

Looking left and right from the front of Cuihualou, the streets and alleys are on both sides of the Spring Flower Garden, Huaiyang Building, Jinfeng Pavilion, Manchun Garden and so on......

In the fireworks willow alley, people come and go, the girls are all charming and hide spring, the curling piano sound and the heavenly singing, such as the yellow warbler out of the valley, like the milk swallow returning to the nest, in the antique carved hollow window, the pink light yarn swaying with the wind, bursts of rich fragrance blowing in the face......

Looking at this world of flowers, the young man couldn't help but feel spring, and at this moment, there was a girl wearing a light veil and a delicate posture, fluttering like a colorful butterfly.

The girl had a panicked expression on her face, and she was followed by two women with light pink makeup, it was obvious that those two were the fans of Cuihualou, and they surrounded Zhu Hui and pushed the girl closer to him.

"Yu'er, how to attract guests, do you want us to teach you again?"

The girl, who was called Yu'er, suddenly turned red, her expression was very painful, she sank her head, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "This son, the slave family ...... for the first time today."

found that Zhu Hui was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged, and Yu'er deliberately chased after him.

A fan laughed out loud when he saw this, and asked, "Yu'er, could it be that you have fallen in love with this son?" Don't chase it, I sent you out to let you practice your courage, it seems that your face is really not thin. ”

"Xiaoyu, let's go, there are several groups of distinguished guests coming tonight, all of them are live-in, and there is no need to pull business at all." Another fan shouted.

Xiao Yu ignored them, chased Zhu Hui closer, and begged: "Childe, please save me, I can see that you are a good person with integrity, Childe ......"

Zhu Hui, who didn't know what was going on, hurriedly got rid of Xiao Yu and got into an alley, and at this time, the two fans took Xiao Yu away.

When Zhu Hui came to Cuihualou again, he saw a blue sedan chair parked in front of the door, and a large group of thugs with swords and swords stood on both sides, all of them like fierce gods.

There was a man who looked like a nest melon, wearing a green scarf and an embroidered red robe, and greeted him with a smile on his face, this person was Liu Bao, the old bustard of Cuihualou.

A hand-cranked fan walked down from the sedan chair, only to see him with his head in a bun, a lean body, and a white robe, Zhu Hui recognized at a glance that he was Wu Xiang, the brother-in-law of the former governor of Yingtian, Master Cai.

When this group of people entered Cuihua Building, Zhu Hui thought to himself, Wu Xiang's courage is really big enough, I heard that Lord Hai has already participated in his brother-in-law, Cai Dezhong was questioned by Dali Temple in the capital, if Tang Jing hadn't bought his mansion, I'm afraid he would have been imprisoned by Hai Rui, and now, he still hasn't let him go, he is still in the mood to come here for recreation?

Just as Zhu Hui was thinking wildly, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and in the blink of an eye, a group of richly dressed wealthy businessmen arrived in front of Cuihua Building, and the person led by Zhu Hui was scared enough, this person was Chen Yuanhua, the shopkeeper of Lin Feng stationed in Ningbo!

Chen Yuanhua once worked as a porter in the Matsuura family of the Hirado Domain, and he also had a name called Matsuura Yuanhua, who had traveled back and forth between Hirado and Akimeura to deliver goods, Zhu Hui was very impressed by him, and he didn't expect that Matsuura Yuanhua, Wu Xiang and Tang Jing gathered in Cuihualou, what was wrong with this, which aroused Zhu Hui's interest.

So, Zhu Hui held his breath, strengthened his courage, and tried to sneak into Cuihualou to find out, at this time, a prostitute came out of it, walked crookedly, and was helped to the door, it was Tang Jing who was drunk and dreamed of death.

Tang Jing came out of Cuihualou, Zhu Hui hurriedly hid, followed behind him, only to see him come to the alley, hire a sedan chair to go home, and then came up and patted him on the shoulder.

"What are you stinky boy doing with me?" Tang Jing scolded.

Zhu Hui squeezed into the sedan chair and whispered, "Uncle, it's okay if you're okay, let's go home and talk." ”

At this time, I only heard the sedan chair man shouting: "If more than one person comes up, at least fifty yuan will be added." ”

"Boy, if you go down for me, more than one person will get fifty yuan, which is enough to buy three catties of good rice......"

Without waiting for Tang Jing to finish speaking, Zhu Hui leaned in his ear and asked, "Uncle, do you know who entered Cuihua Building?" ”

"Who?"

"It's time to come, it's going to come sooner or later, I can't escape, the person we both worry about all day is finally here!"

Since they returned to Nanjing, what he was most afraid of was Chen Yuanhua in the Ningbo base, and when he learned that Chen Yuanhua had entered Cuihualou, Tang Jing suddenly shook his spirit, and the wine also woke up, and asked with wide eyes: "You mean, he, he's here to arrest me?" ”

Zhu Hui nodded earnestly.

Sure enough, Lin Feng's wife had just been locked up in his own home, and the pirate leader Chen Yuanhua came to the door, scared Tang Jing into disarray, and shouted: "Get up the sedan chair!" ”

Not long after Tang Jing and Zhu Hui left, Huang Bingwen, dressed as a scholar, also arrived at Cuihualou.

Liu Bao nodded and stepped forward to salute, and said, "Lord Huang, they have all arrived. ”

Huang Bingwen nodded reservedly and replied, "It's not early, let's prepare for the banquet, finish talking about business, and then let them go to ecstasy." ”

"Yes, sir, please." Liu Bao said, and took Huang Bingwen to the flower hall behind Cuihua Building, at this moment, Wu Xiang and Chen Yuanhua were drinking tea, and their subordinates were all ecstatic.

After a while, all the wine and food were served, and in order to facilitate their conversation, Liu Bao personally acted as a partner, and the three of them were polite to each other and began to chat while drinking.

"Brother, how is the matter entrusted to you?" Huang Bingwen asked.

Wu Xiang looked at Huang Bingwen reservedly, and also asked, "Lord Huang, what progress has I made in the things I entrusted you with?" ”

"Gonggong Huang wrote from the capital that because the emperor trusted Hai Rui too much, if he wanted to rescue Cai Dezhong and revoke his impeachment charges, he had to find a way to drive Hai Rui out of Yingtianfu. However, if you still can't find the woman surnamed Luo in Huizhou Mansion, it is difficult for Gonggong Huang to explain to Long Live Lord, I am afraid that this official will also be affected, and if you want to save Cai Dezhong, you don't even have a door. Huang Bingwen replied.

"Please rest assured, Lord Huang, it won't be too long before this woman can be sent to the Forbidden City." As he spoke, Wu Xiang raised his wine glass.

At this time, Chen Yuanhua raised his glass and raised his eyebrows, and gave Huang Bingwen a toast diligently: "It is a blessing for the grass man Chen to meet Lord Huang today!" I would like to take this opportunity to toast Mr. Huang first. ”

Wu Xiang seemed to be very proud, and said loudly: "I wish Lord Huang a straight rise and a full house of gold and jade!" Take down this hateful Hai Jui as soon as possible. ”

The three of them clinked glasses and drank them all, Liu Bao was responsible for pouring them wine, and listened to them talk about some ups and downs.

After three rounds of drinking, Huang Bingwen cut to the chase and asked: "Shopkeeper Chen, the reason why I invited you from Ningbo all the way is because I heard that you are also in the business of absorbing and saving, how much silver have you collected now?" ”

Lord Huang smiled, and opened an inn in Ningbo, to be honest, small trading is not profitable. Now that the imperial court has lifted the sea ban, I am ready to do some trade, Guangdong and Fujian need our cotton, cotton, raw silk, silk, and pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and we need wood, dyes, sugar, flowers and fruits, iron goods, and foreign goods in Guangdong and Fujian. Chen Yuanhua replied.

Listening to him talk about the business in a rambling manner, Huang Bingwen laughed loudly and said seriously: "You don't have to be afraid, I know a little about your details, and I know that you are not only engaged in trade in Guangdong and Fujian, but also that merchant ships often go overseas, and I came here today to help you raise more money." But first, you'll have to do me a favor! ”

Chen Yuanhua asked with trepidation: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't know what I can do to help Lord Huang in the future?" ”

At this time, Wu Xiang took out two paintings and handed them to Chen Yuanhua.

Chen Yuanhua opened it and saw that there was a pure girl in one painting, who looked familiar, but he couldn't recognize who it was, and the person in the other painting surprised him, this person was Xu Kun who was kidnapped by Lin Feng!

"Shopkeeper Chen, come and see, have you ever known these two people in the painting?"

Chen Yuanhua looked at these two portraits, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass, but he shivered, and half of the wine in the cup was spilled, so he pretended to be calm and asked: "I am sincerely afraid, it is said that Xu Ge's nephew has been missing for a long time, and no one knows his whereabouts, but I don't know what the purpose of the elder brother is to show this portrait to Xia?" ”

"Without him, it is said that the two people in the painting were kidnapped overseas, and the shopkeeper Chen also ran the Oriental business, please help inquire, inquire." Wu Xiang replied.

Listening to what they said to find a woman surnamed Luo in Huizhou, Chen Yuanhua carefully confirmed again, and found that the girl in the painting looked more and more like Luo Amin, the beads of sweat on her forehead suddenly rolled down, and the back ridge began to cool down, pointing to the person in the painting, and asked puzzledly: "May I ask Wu Gongzi, who is she to you?" ”

"The woman surnamed Luo in the painting is our old friend of the saint today, Dongchang sent people to search all over the north and south of the river, but they couldn't find her, it is said that she has been living overseas for many years."

"So, may I ask Wu Gongzi, where did this painting come from?" Chen Yuanhua continued to ask.

"I and this woman surnamed Luo are fellow villagers in Huizhou, a few days ago, I went back to my hometown, found the Luo clansman, asked the painter to paint this portrait, if you can find her from overseas, hehe, let's get promoted and make a fortune together."

Huang Bingwen looked very excited, and said: "Yes, as long as we get this done, the current saint will be able to crown Huang Gonggong 9,000 years old, and the power will tilt towards the harem of the government and the opposition, Cai Dezhong will not only be able to reinstate the official, but may also be able to enter the Wenyuan Pavilion as a scholar of the first auxiliary university, as for our brothers, hehe, I will ensure that you Wu Gongzi will be the champion and the first in the future, and enter the Hanlin Academy to honor the ancestors, as for the Chen shopkeeper......

Wu Xiang took over the words: "Chengguo Gong Zhu Xizhong is old, and he can live for a few years, Lord Liu Shouyou will inevitably take over the command of Jinyi Weidu, when the time comes, Lord Huang is at least the commander of the three products, if you can find the woman on the painting, it will be a miracle, let Lord Huang get you a Jinyi Wei Zheng Sipin to do it, you have both power and money, even if you want to walk sideways in the future, who can stop you?" ”

It seems that in the future, if you follow Huang Bingwen and Wu Xiang together, you will not only be able to make a fortune, but also have the possibility of entering the career and glorifying your ancestors.

After a moment of silence, Huang Bingwen asked, "Shopkeeper Chen, have you ever heard that there is a family in Nanjing?" ”

"I haven't heard of it yet." Chen Yuanhua was very cautious.

"Tomorrow I have time, I will take you to Xingji Money Village to see, I am also ready to open a money village in Nanjing, the name has been given, it is called Xinglong Money Village, open to the opposite side of Xingji Money Village, when the time comes, the future business needs silver turnover, and you don't have to raise money yourself, you all come to me, I must crush Xingji Money Village!" His grandma's! Huang Bingwen scolded.

"Hehe, Lord Huang still has a vision, fortunately, my silver has not been shipped away, and I am the first to deposit the silver in Xinglong Bank."

"Good! I just came back from Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, and the former head assistant Xu University scholar is also ready to save 100,000 taels, and I won't tell you that the portrait of this man is Xu Jie's own nephew Xu Kun, who is said to have been captured by pirates who mistook him for Tang Jing, and people can count on us to rescue him. ”

Chen Yuanhua naturally understood the reason, what he was most worried about was that Lin Feng sent him to arrest Tang Jing, fortunately, he heard that Lin Feng died suddenly in Jinjiang Bay, and the Ma Wu of the Ryukyus took over the merchant group, gave up all violent actions, and turned to maritime trade, however, taking this opportunity, he was ready to break away from the Ma Wu merchant group.

"Since the Xu family trusts us so much, we must not disappoint the former Shoufu University Scholar. Shopkeeper Chen, I am also going to open a money bank branch in Ningbo, you also take out some silver ginseng, you don't have to bother to raise money yourself in the future, in the future, we Xinglong money all over the world, no matter where you go, you don't need to take cash to trade, directly use our money bank's banknotes, how about? Huang Bingwen asked proudly.

Chen Yuanhua understood everything, had an idea in his heart, and hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said, "I will give another glass to Lord Huang and Wu Gongzi in the future." ”

The three of them drank it all, and at this time, Huang Bingwen and Wu Xiang were all staring at Chen Yuanhua, wanting to get his final answer.

"Good! When Lord Huang came to Ningbo to open a bank, I would like to take 100,000 taels of silver to buy shares, and contact the overseas brothers as soon as possible to help find the person in the painting. "How dare Chen Yuanhua disobey.
