Xie Da's arrival not only gave Zhou Zhong an ultimatum, so that he could withdraw from the Wang family's marriage within a month, but also discussed with Zhou Zhong the cooperation between the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce.

However, Xie Da had already handed over most of the things of the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce to Xie Lingyun, so he only asked about the general intention of the cooperation between the two chambers of commerce, and as for the specific cooperation matters, it was up to Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun, the lovers, to talk about it themselves.

Although Xie Da has always wanted to show his value and appreciation for Zhou Chong since then, Zhou Chong always felt that Xie Da was too deep in the city, and people couldn't guess what he really thought in his heart. At the same time, he finally understood where Xie Lingyun's city government came from, speaking of which the personalities of the father and daughter are really similar, but Xie Lingyun is much more immature than her father.

Zhou Zhong and Xie Da have been discussing in the middle of the night, then they went back to their rooms to rest, early the next morning, when he was sleeping soundly, he suddenly felt that his nose was pinched, for this familiar action, no need to ask to know that it was Xie Lingyun, when she was on the island before, she liked to use this method to wake herself up.

I saw that Zhou Chong didn't open his eyes, he reached out to wrap his hand around Xie Lingyun's slender waist by feeling, and then suddenly hugged her on the bed, which made Xie Lingyun scream in fright, and beat Zhou Chong's chest while laughing. The two played around in bed for a while, although Zhou Zhong wanted to do some exercises in bed that were beneficial to his body and mind, but considering that the time and place were not right, he still held back.

After the last day, Zhou got up and got dressed, then washed up again, and was about to have breakfast with Xie Lingyun. However, at this time, Xie Lingyun suddenly pulled him and asked in a low voice, "Xianggong." Yesterday my father told you something. Originally, I wanted to come to you last night, but because it was too late, Aunt Shui wouldn't let me come, but this morning I looked at my father's appearance, it seems that you talked about it well? ”

Zhou Zhong had already agreed with Xie Lingyun that as long as there were no outsiders, she had to call herself a father-in-law, and he liked to listen to it very much. In addition, Zhou Zhong also guessed that Xie Lingyun would definitely ask about yesterday when he came to him. Therefore, I saw him smile and said, "What else can Uncle Xie talk about with me, it is naturally about our marriage, and there are also some things about the Chamber of Commerce." ”

Zhou Zhong said and told Xie Lingyun the original content of the conversation with Xie Da last night, after all, there was no need to carry her behind her back on these things, but when Xie Lingyun heard that his father asked Zhou Zhong to withdraw from the marriage of the Wang family within a month, he said softly: "Xianggong, my father is too anxious, anyway, we won't be able to complete the marriage for a while, so don't be too anxious about the affairs of the Wang family, just think of a way when you have the opportunity in the future." As for my father, I will help you persuade him. ”

Hearing Xie Lingyun think about himself like this. Zhou Zhong couldn't help but be very moved, grabbed her little hand and looked at Xie Lingyun affectionately for a while, and then reluctantly let go.

But just as he was eating breakfast, Xie Lingyun suddenly remembered something, and winked at Zhou Zhong a little mischievously at the moment and said, "Xianggong, do you remember when we were held hostage, I told you at that time that our Xie Family Chamber of Commerce and the Hong Family Chamber of Commerce had actually been married, and the same person was behind them?" ”

When Zhou Chong heard Xie Lingyun take the initiative to mention this matter, he immediately lifted his spirits, when they were stranded on the island, Zhou Chong did not forget this matter, and asked Xie Lingyun at the beginning, but unfortunately she never said it, and then the two broke through to the last layer of the relationship, and the two talked to me all day long, and Zhou Chong also left this matter behind.

"Who the hell is it? I've asked you before, but you just won't tell me! I saw Zhou Zhong ask curiously.

Xie Lingyun smiled, although she knew that there were only the two of them in the entire restaurant, she still turned her head to look at it, and then said: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but this person's identity is too amazing, when we were under the storm, I thought we were going to die, and I was very scared, so I talked to you about it, mainly because I wanted you to talk to me more." ”

When Xie Lingyun said this, she also showed a sweet expression on her face, because she knew that when she was at the moment of life and death, she could really see a person clearly, and Zhou Chong's performance not only made her very satisfied, but even directly conquered her heart, that is, from then on, she really liked the man in front of her.

Compared with the sweetness in Xie Lingyun's heart, Zhou Zhong thought of the beautiful scene of the two in the cabin, although they already had the reality of husband and wife, but that was the first time he despised each other, it was really an unforgettable memory for him.

Xie Lingyun didn't soak in the sweetness for too long, only to see her quickly say with a solemn face: "Xianggong, I am my father's only daughter and the only heir of the Chamber of Commerce, but the situation of our Xie family is not as simple as it seems on the surface, the main reason is because of my clan uncle, he is extremely famous in our Ming Dynasty, and together with the other two ministers, he is known as the Three Sages of Hongzhi, now you should know who he is, right?" ”

"The Three Sages of Hongji?" Zhou Chong was stunned for a moment when he heard this title, and then he was shocked to stand up all of a sudden, stared at Xie Lingyun and said, "You...... The person behind your Chamber of Commerce turned out to be Xie Qian! ”

"Yes, the famous Xie Qian is my clan uncle, although our family's Chamber of Commerce is owned by our father and daughter in name, but in fact, we only control the operation of the Chamber of Commerce and a small number of shares, most of the shares belong to the Yuyao faction officials headed by the Yuyao Xie family, and the Hong family is almost the same situation, of course, we have the support of the clan uncle behind us, and it is very convenient to do anything in the whole Ming Dynasty, and no one dares to card our business." I saw Xie Lingyun nodding and said.

Zhou Zhong still didn't recover from the shock at this time, he really didn't expect that the person behind the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce and the Hongjia Chamber of Commerce turned out to be Xie Qian, and it was not just Xie Qian alone, but an official interest group divided by regions, no wonder the smuggling business of these two families was so big, it turned out that there was such a powerful force behind it.

Speaking of Xie Qian, some people may not know much, but in the Hongzhi Dynasty and Zhengde Dynasty, this person was an extremely remarkable figure, when there was a sentence in the Ming Dynasty: 'Li Gongmou, Liu Gongju, Xie Gongyou Kankan'. Li Gong in this sentence refers to Li Dongyang, Liu Gong refers to Liu Jian, and Xie Gong refers to Xie Qian.

Li Dongyang is resourceful, Liu Jian is good at making decisions, and Xie Qian is extraordinary, these three people are cabinet scholars in the Honghan Dynasty, in fact, it is equivalent to the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, the three are very capable people, jointly assist Zhengde's father, that is, Xiaozong Majesty governed the country, so that the Ming Dynasty once appeared in the situation of Zhongxing, Xiaozong's year name is Hongzhi, so it was called "Hongzhi Three Sages" by the people at that time.

And what's even more remarkable is that at the time of Xiaozong's death, Xie Qian and the three of them were designated as ministers of Gu Ming, and the three of them were ordered to assist Emperor Zhengde wholeheartedly, but it is a pity that the old man Zhengde was full of playful thoughts, and he handed over the government to the eunuchs headed by Liu Jin to deal with, which caused Xie Qian's ministers to be dissatisfied, and repeatedly clashed with Liu Jin and others.

In October of the first year of Zhengde, the conflict between Xie Qian and Liu Jian's ministers' group and Liu Jin's eunuch group reached its climax, Xie Qian and others directly wrote to Zhengde to kill Liu Jin and others, but the result was unsuccessful, so they wanted to resign as a threat, but they didn't expect Zhengde to directly agree, so Xie Qian and Liu Jian, as well as a group of Hongzhi old ministers, were forced to resign and return to their hometowns, and only Li Dongyang was left in the court to support alone.

Don't look at Xie Qian has resigned and returned to his hometown, but he has a very high reputation among scholars, he and Liu Jian are one south and one north, it can be said that they are the two leaders of the north and south of the Great Ming Shilin, and their power in the officialdom is even more intertwined, no matter who has to give a little face, with such a person as the backing, it is difficult for the Xie family Chamber of Commerce not to develop.

"I see, no wonder you and the Hongjia Chamber of Commerce can become two of the four major chambers of commerce in Shuangyu Port." Zhou Zhong thought of Xie Qian's identity, and this Jin also said to himself thoughtfully, but then he thought of one more thing, and immediately asked, "Lingyun, our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce was not weaker than you before, and the business was also very large, so do you know Lu Dao, do you have any supporters behind our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Hearing Zhou Zhong ask this question, Xie Lingyun suddenly showed a wry smile and said: "Xianggong, in fact, there are some things I didn't tell you before, these things are related to your father, originally I guessed that you should know some things about your father, but I didn't expect you to know very little about your father, and even I told you about the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce." ”

"About my father?" Zhou Zhong was also very solemn at this time, as he took over the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, he felt more and more that his cheap dad he had never met was very mysterious, and the people in his family didn't know that he had such a powerful smuggling chamber of commerce outside, and they didn't know where all the money he earned went. What's worse is that many of Zhou Hai's henchmen in the Chamber of Commerce in the past died with him when they went to sea, although Sanniang has a close relationship with Zhou Hai, but she doesn't know much about his affairs, although the finances in the Chamber of Commerce are managed by her, but a lot of money is directly transferred by Zhou Hai, and she doesn't know where Zhou Hai is used?

"Lingyun, what do you know about my father?" Zhou Zhong frowned and asked, although he and Zhou Hai have no feelings, but now that he has taken over the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, he needs to know more about him, especially about the Chamber of Commerce, and he needs to know more about the Tao, which is related to the development of the Chamber of Commerce in the future.
