Bucket corner cornice, main hall cloister. This is a typical Han architecture. The rockery garden, surrounded by clear streams, is a quiet and peaceful scenery. This is the view of Beppu, Hou of the Bohai Sea.

Shen Mu walked here with Shen Yun. The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

"Yun'er, let your Uncle Wu take you to our Bohai family's port warehouse in the canal later, and then go back to school!"

"Father, what about you?"

"I'll stay here and wait for Your Majesty to summon me...... It's closer to Mr. here, and it's better to go over to the pillar incense every day. Shen Mu said gloomily.

Just now, Uncle Zhong asked them to go in and offer incense, and Shen Mu almost fainted from crying in front of the spiritual seat of Du Sacrificial Wine. This kind of teacher-student friendship is somewhat difficult for Shen Yun to understand, but he can feel that --- Bohai Hou, who has always been elegant and noble, cried like a child. There are no outsiders around, it's not a show, it's a heartfelt feeling.

The environment of Beppu is quite quiet, and a few servants left by the wood correction clean it every day, but it is still clean. Shen Yun didn't know how to comfort his father, so he had to come out with Shen Wu.

On the street at the entrance, pedestrians are sparse. Whether it is the Marquis of Huainan or the Marquis of Linzi, they rarely return to live in this Beppu. Like Shen Mu, they only stay here for a short time when they go to Beijing to pay homage to the saints.

However, today the gate of the Linzi Marquis Mansion is open, and many subordinates are building wooden ladders, preparing to clean the dust from the high part of the mansion gate. There are also people who come in and out, looking very busy.

A slightly chubby white-faced middle-aged man, wearing a dark green robe, stood in front of the door and commanded loudly: "Over there, oops, why are you so stupid!" It's the top of the plaque! ”

"Hang the lantern on me, hurry."

"You dead girl, your hands and feet are so bad, you break things, if Madame doesn't beat you, I will kill you!"

……

Shen Yun's heart moved, and he turned to Shen Wu and said, "Uncle Wu, is Mrs. Linzi the Marquis of Linzi my father's aunt?" ”

Shen Wu was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yes." But it's not a close relative, it can only be regarded as an aunt. The prince asked why? ”

"Are the two still moving?"

"Nope. When the marquis inherited the title, there was no male in the line of Miss Ru, so he only sent people to congratulate him. Not long after, Miss Ru married the Marquis of Linzi and married her husband, and the two families had no contact after that. ”

"The relationship between the Bohai Hou family and the Linzi Hou family is not harmonious?" Shen Yunqi said.

Shen Wu smiled bitterly: "It's not just discord. Originally, the Marquis of Linzi and the Marquis of Bohai were supposed to come together once every three years, but because of some things back then, the disputes between the two families have not been reconciled until now, so the two families no longer interact. ”

Shen Yun didn't ask what the dispute was, but said strangely: "Then why did they start cleaning Beppu this time?" Could it be that the Marquis of Linzi is coming? ”

Shen Wu thought for a while and said, "It should be." Mrs. Linzi taught at the Imperial University and usually had a place to live, so she would not come to live in Beppu. That Zhang Jiong was in such a hurry to clean, presumably because the Marquis of Linzi was about to arrive. ”

"Zhang Jiong? That chubby man? ”

"Hmm. He is the treasurer of the Marquis of Linzi in Kyoto, which is similar to the wooden correction. ”

The middle-aged man named Zhang Jiong on the opposite side was busy with his feet not touching the ground, and he didn't notice that there were two people here who couldn't stop looking here.

Shen Yun was just puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. Got on your horse and prepared to leave. Shen Wu instructed Shen San, one of the remaining three family members, to take good care of Hou Ye. After that, he also followed in the footsteps of Shen Yun.

Shen San is a sturdy young man, and he always has a kind of honest smile when he sees Shen Yun. He is Shen Wu's cousin. After listening to Shen Wu's instructions, he only agreed straightforwardly.

……

The bustle around the canal is at its peak at noon. The walking porters, the tents with abacus, the overseers riding on horses and wielding horsewhips, and the pedestrians coming and going, constitute an incomparably magnificent scene of the prosperity of the divine capital.

Shen Yun and Shen Wu were crowded in the crowd and had to dismount and walk. After a while, you can still see a group of bearded Hu merchants, also wearing Han costumes, shouting hoarsely at the merchant ships on the canal. The eccentric tone is similar to James's.

The shortest long-distance merchant ships on the canal were ten meters tall and more than twenty meters long. It is said that the warships of the Empire are even larger, and the most majestic Empire is even more giant, with a length of 120 meters, a width of 50 meters, and a height of 18 meters, almost the size of a modern aircraft carrier!

It is impossible for so many merchant ships to dock at the wharf, so the canal of more than 200 meters is densely covered with merchant ships, and they enter the port wharf in order to unload. And some merchants who can't wait will hire some small boats to sail over from the shore to unload the goods first. Of course, this behavior is also subject to the approval of the shipping department.

Under the canal tower, there are always many officials of the ship department wearing vermilion official uniforms and official hats, and they are shy and patrolling. Every merchant who saw them politely stepped aside and stretched out his hand under the wide robe with a smirk on his face. The officials of the ship department smiled kindly and proudly, and also stretched out their hands, and after a few words of greeting, they withdrew their hands and continued to move on.

As for whether there was any complicity between the two under the sleeves of the robe, it is unknown.

"Uncle Wu, we have a port here?"

Although it was only a glimpse of the leopard, Shen Yun had already seen that this canal port was definitely an extremely lucrative place. There are so many merchant ships, but there are only seven regular ports, and it is only a matter of time before anyone owns a port here.

Shen Wu replied, "Yes." We have a port to the south, but there are three merchant ships. ”

Shen Yun suddenly pointed to a flag over a port and asked, "Uncle Wu, what kind of flag is that?" ”

It was a character written in bird seal script on one side, but it was twisted and twisted, and Shen Yun didn't know it very well. He knows that there is an imperial flag in this era, but this flag is golden all over, but the font is black, it is obviously not a royal flag, why can it be hung so high?

Shen Wu said: "That's the Yan family's business flag. These three ports all belong to the Yan family! ”

Yan family? Yan Ruyue's father, Yan Zhun?

For the first time, Shen Yun realized what Fang Cheng said, the Yan family is rich and rivals the country, which is the specific concept of the richest man in the Han Dynasty. Of the seven ports of the canal, the Yan family monopolizes the third, and it is already a naked insult and slander to describe the wealth of the Yan family with daily progress and gold, and the rich can be regarded as light.

Shen Yun was even thinking, I don't know who is richer than Bill Gates and Yan Zhun? The later conclusion is: as rich, maybe Yan Zhun is slightly better. Because Bill Gates runs a company, a lot of property belongs to the company, but Yan Zhun is a financial giant in feudal society, as long as it is the Yan family's industry, it is his own.

The port of the Shen family is in the southernmost part of the canal, and it is also full of merchant ships and people. In charge of this place is Shen Zhan, a family member of the Shen family, who is over fifty years old.

This is an extremely shrewd old man, his two eyes often release the unique shrewdness and cunning of a businessman, seeing Shen Wu bringing his son over, he hurriedly sent someone to manage it first, and led Shen Yun and the two to a big restaurant by the port.

"Hongqing Building?" Shen Yun was taken aback when he saw this name, wasn't this the place where he had fought with James in the first place? Tony Kony also said that the food here is the best in the whole of Kyoto!

"Is this restaurant also our property?" Shen Yun asked.

It was Shen Zhan who answered, and he said with a smile: "What did the prince say, this Hongqing Building is the property of the Yan family, but it is opened here, and our Shen family is cheap nearby, and it only takes one gold coin to charter this floor. From here, you can overlook the whole port, and there are so many people below that it is not good to let the prince crowd. ”

Shen Yun nodded. Hongqing Tower has six floors, which is only four or five meters lower than the lighthouse at the highest point of the canal. Looking down from the top, the voices below are indeed much rarer, and the porters who sell coolies come and go like ants.

Shen Yun thought, wasn't he also a member of the ants below? Have those high-ranking rich people ever looked down on them like their current self?

Just then, a strange tone sounded at the top of the staircase.

"We want to go up there, why don't we go up?"

Shen Yun suddenly felt that this voice was a little familiar, and was about to go to take a look, when a more familiar voice sounded.

"This cousin, I am the son of the Jin Gong, Ma Gu, and I want to drink and feast here with a few friends, and there is silence on it, there must be a vacant seat, right? Since there is a vacancy, why not wait for me to have a seat? I'm willing to pay double the price! ”

The cousin said in an embarrassed voice: "Ouch, it turned out to be Ma Gongzi!" The villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and hopes to forgive his sins...... It's just that this upstairs has indeed been taken over. The host doesn't want to be disturbed...... We pay attention to the integrity of doing business, enter the door is a guest, since we have promised others, even if you pay ten times the price, we dare not transfer it to you! Otherwise, please be early next time! ”

I have to say that this cousin is still very good at talking. Moreover, the businessmen of this era pay attention to promises, and there is a bottom line for profit.

Shen Yun smiled slightly, the shrewd Shen Zhan had already seen it, and asked in a low voice, "The prince knows someone from the Jin family?" ”

Shen Yun snorted coldly, but did not speak. He really didn't want to see Magu. This kid thinks he is the descendant of Jin Gong, and he has some literary talents, so he often sees himself as unhappy, and he still remembers the scene at the bonfire party that night.

Shen Zhan had already seen that his family didn't like Ma Gu, so he didn't move. In the past, if Shen Zhan encountered such a thing, he was still easy to speak, let one table let one table, businessmen pay attention to harmony and make money, not to mention that the descendants of Jin Gong also have some background, maybe this face is sold, and they can still have a relationship with the Jin Gong family in the future!

The quarrel at the staircase continued, and the strange tone was Xiao Tony when Shen Yun heard it. There were a few other people, a little messy, and Shen Yun didn't carefully distinguish who was who. No matter what they said, the cousin just wouldn't let them go up, and even if Ma Gu threatened to go to the shopkeeper, the little two were still stubborn and didn't give in. In modern times, there are very few people who are so faithful.

"Uncle Zhan, if the shopkeeper of this restaurant really wants to resign from this little second, we have to invite this person. Talent! Shen Yun said lightly.

Shen Zhan understood, nodded shrewdly, and said, "What the prince said is true." The villain understands. ”

Just then, a familiar voice appeared.

"Little boy, go up and discuss with the guests above! If they don't agree, let's go! ”

The second cousin, some people can also call it a child. The little second seemed to be surprised, and suddenly said, "Ah, it turned out to be Miss...... Okay, okay, I'll go up and discuss with the guests! ”

"Yan Ruyue? How did she get mixed up with Ma Gu? Shen Yun's mood became gloomy for no reason.

The second cousin walked over, and before he could speak, Shen Yun had already walked to the staircase and said loudly downward: "It turned out that the gentlemen had arrived, Yun came first, but he was a little more self-contained." Come on, come on, please come up! Cousin, good wine and good food! ”

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute. Come now! When the cousin saw that the matter was settled, he was happy and went away.

"Shen Yuanrang, why are you here!"

There were five people who came up, in addition to Ma Gu and Xiao Tony, as well as Zhou Hui and Yan Ruyue, and the other one was not Bu Chan, but Zhuge Yun. In the blink of an eye, Shen Yun already somewhat understood why Yan Ruyue was with them.

It must be that Ma Gu wanted to date Yan Ruyue, but he was afraid of being rejected, so he asked Zhuge Yun to invite his cousin Zhou Hui. And Zhou Hui will definitely bring her good sister Yan Ruyue. As for Little Tony, I heard that Little Tony is in the same dormitory as Ma Gu. Little Tony has a soft spot for the dishes in Hongqing Building, so it is logical that the five of them will come here.

Thinking about this, Shen Yun also felt a little relaxed. smiled at the five of them: "I came to see my own port today, so I came here by the way." Ruyue, I heard that this Hongqing Building was opened by your family, hehe, I invited you to dinner, is it considered to borrow flowers to offer Buddha? ! ”

Yan Ruyue was a little excited when she saw Shen Yun, seeing that he was talking and laughing, she seemed to get rid of Murong Wanying's influence on him, and she was immediately extremely happy, and said with a smile: "If you think it's inappropriate, I'll ask the shopkeeper to give you a pot of aging wine." In this way, I can be considered to be in the gang, what do you think? ”

"Haha, wonderful!" Shen Yun clapped his hands and smiled, "Then it's disrespectful, come, sit!" ”

Over there, Zhou Hui also jumped over and said with a smile: "Shen Yuanrang, what about Bohai Hou?" You didn't come back last night, but you went to Beppu? ”

Speaking of Beppu, Yan Ruyue suddenly remembered something and asked, "Yuan Rang, your Beppu is at the foot of Gongyu Mountain, opposite to Linzi Marquis Beppu?" ”

"yes. How? ”

"Oh, are you going back to Beppu later?"

Shen Yun scratched his head: "I should go back!" ”

Yan Ruyue smiled: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Shen Yun was stunned: "What are you doing?" That's going with me? I don't have the money to pay a dowry! ”

Yan Ruyueqiao's face flushed, and she said angrily: "What nonsense, you, it's my tutor who went back to live in Beppu today, and I just want to ask her some questions, so I want to pay a visit!" ”

Shen Yun pretended to be annoyed and slapped his head, and said dejectedly: "Alas, I am self-inflicted!" ”

provoked Zhou Hui and Yan Ruyue to laugh in unison.

The three of them laughed as if no one was around, as if they had forgotten Ma Gu, Zhuge Yun, and Little Tony. Shen Wu and Shen Zhan had already gotten up before those people came up, standing behind Shen Yun, and at a glance they knew that they were subordinates, but no one looked at them.

Ma Gu angrily pulled Little Tony to sit down at another table, and said hatefully: "Yuan Rangjun, the scenery from the window here is good, why don't you sit down together!" ”

Shen Yun glanced over there and said with a smile: "No, the river breeze here is blowing, and it's cool!" ”

The two of them are almost inseparable. Zhuge Yun didn't speak coldly to Shen Yun this time, but said with a smile: "Yuan Rangjun, today is in the east, can you take a step forward?" ”

His smile was sincere, but it made Shen Yun a little embarrassed. was about to agree, and suddenly a person came up from downstairs, it was Shen San, who had just been separated in the morning.

Shen San looked at Shen Yun, ran over and knelt on one knee, and said with a worried face: "Shizi, hurry, Master Hou, he's dying!" ”

"What?!" Shen Yun stood up suddenly. Everyone was amazed.

Shen Wu even grabbed Shen San and roared, "Shen San, what nonsense are you talking about? Hou Ye, why can't Hou Ye? ”

Shen San was lifted in the air by Shen Wu, and said with a crying voice: "Uncle Wu, after you and the prince left, the Hou Ye was uneasy, saying that he wanted to go to Mr.'s house again, but he didn't let me follow...... However, within half an hour, Tadashi broke into Beppu covered in blood, shouting that there were assassins. When I led people over, I saw that Hou Ye's whole body was broken, and there was a sword stuck in his vest...... Shizi, go back quickly! Hou Ye, he ...... He's dying! ”

Speaking of which, Shen San couldn't cry anymore, and as soon as Shen Wu let go, he cried and collapsed to the ground.

And Shen Yun rushed downstairs like crazy before he finished speaking. Shen Wu and Shen Zhan followed.

Yan Ruyue and Zhou Hui were also shocked and inexplicable, and they hurriedly followed each other after each other.

Zhuge Yun muttered: "The Marquis of Bohai was assassinated in Kyoto? Oh my God, this is ...... No, I'll have to go with it! ”

Ma Gu also looked anxious, pulled up little Tony and ran down.
