Chapter Forty-Eight: Miss

Six days later, as soon as the sky was bright, a luxurious carriage pulled by four Dawan horses, under the protection of four cavalry and a young man on horseback, slowly drove into the city gate of Hangzhou. The merchants who opened their doors early to do business saw at a glance that this was the carriage of the Hongyuan merchants' luggage, and in addition to envy or envy in their eyes, they wondered when their business would be like this? In the carriage sat Li Xiehe and a woman. The woman was about 20 years old, with a goose egg face, willow eyebrows and starry eyes, reddish cheeks, a small cherry mouth, lips like painted vermilion, and a yellow and red skirt. The temperament exuded by his body is very similar to Li Xiehe, unfathomable and introverted. The appearance is somewhat similar to Li Qiulan. The carriage was large, with a soft and smooth silk quilt inside, and four pillows made of fox skin piled up in the corner. The woman ignored Li Xiehe next to her, leaning lazily on the pillow, looking at the street scene outside the car window in a daze.

"Hangzhou City has not changed at all, it is still the same as it was three years ago. I don't know how the two sisters are now. Is the third sister more slim? Is the second sister still so resolute? The woman's voice is very good, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, jumping smartly. It is also like a mountain stream, which has a long history.

Li Xiehe looked at the woman in front of him, and infinite honor and pride rose in his heart. Let's ask the entire city of Hangzhou, who can give birth to and raise a woman like their eldest daughter? At the age of two, she could read and write, at the age of five, she could memorize the Analects upside down, at the age of ten she showed an amazing talent for business, at the age of fifteen she was named the first talented woman in Hangzhou, and at the age of sixteen she was accepted as a student by the Guozi Priest Wine. Now twenty years old, he has a wide range of contacts in the capital, and he has made countless celebrities. can have such a daughter, so that Li Xiehe will walk in the world in vain.

"Xuanqing, this time my father asked you to go back to Hangzhou together, one is to worship your ancestors, and the other is to let you meet Wei Hong. Wei Hong, this kid, although he is young, has a little bit of a sense of business and is even a little ashamed of being a father. And this person's surname is good, and there is no suspicion of being on the sidelines. In the future, with his help, our Hongyuan Commercial Bank can be described as a tiger with wings and is invincible. When he thought of Wei Hong, Li Xiehe was like digging a treasure, full of joy, and he was very happy when he spoke.

When he was in Jinling, Li Xiehe mentioned Wei Hong more than once. This time, I changed my original itinerary and hurried back to Hangzhou, also because of this Wei Hong. Li Xuanqing reluctantly raised some interest in the man named Wei Hong: "The emergence of sewing machines will have an impact on the cloth industry that will subvert the surname." Our Hongyuan firm can control the sewing machine for the first time and use it for its own use, which is indeed the blessing of the Li family. As for whether this Wei Hong has other advantages worth flaunting in addition to the sewing machine, it is up to her daughter to discover it herself. By the way, I heard that this Wei Hong moved to our house? Father, is there something wrong with this? After all, the two younger sisters have not yet left the cabinet, and there is a man with a foreign surname living in the family, no matter whether he becomes a family or not, spreading it will ruin the reputation of the Li family. ”

Li Xiehe looked at Li Xuanqing and smiled slightly: "Don't say that your two younger sisters, even you, have not been married yet, haven't you been showing up in the capital for many years?" I'm afraid I know a lot of all kinds of sons, but there are outsiders who gossip about you? In terms of dealing with people, being a father can vouch for that Wei Hong is definitely a hundred times stronger than those pampered sons and brothers in the capital, so you don't have to worry about this. ”

Li Xuanqing doesn't know why his father favors Wei Hong so much, I'm afraid that a sewing machine alone is not qualified, could it be that Wei Hong is really a rare talent? Since Li Xiehe has said such things, Li Xuanqing has nothing to say: "Since my father has said so, then this matter will be discussed later." ”

A simple 'let's discuss later' shows that Li Xuanqing did not completely agree to Wei Hong's stay in the Li Mansion. Li Xiehe knew Li Xuanqing's temper very well, so he didn't say anything more, believing that Li Xuanqing would be relieved after learning about Wei Hong's personality.

"By the way, Qing'er, I have something to tell you for my father." Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Li Mansion, Li Xiehe suddenly remembered the incident mentioned in the letter, when Li Ruohua smashed the jade bottle. In order to prevent these two little enemies from pinching each other as soon as they met, Li Xiehe decided to give Li Xuanqing a vaccination in advance.

"Father, please."

This is a difficult thing to do, and Li Xiehe really doesn't know how to talk about it. These two girls, from childhood to adulthood, used to be teenagers, they could roll all over the ground for small things, without the slightest girl-like appearance. Now that I'm older, the fighting methods between them have intensified, and the war of words is simply commonplace. Li Xiehe knew the weight of that jade net bottle in Li Xuanqing's mind, if she knew about it, it was really unknown whether she could calm things down.

Li Xiehe, who has been riding the wind and waves in the business sea for many years, can be said to have a landslide in front and no change, and a tsunami in the back, and I am calm. But he is a father after all, and he has become a little incompetent in dealing with his daughter's nervous concerns. Speaking and slurping: "Qing'er, do you still remember the jade bottle that the prince gave you when he accepted you as an apprentice?" ”

Li Xuanqing nodded, and a bad premonition rose in her heart: "Of course I remember, what's wrong?" ”

Li Xiehe hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "A few days ago, Mr. Li sent a letter, and the letter said that the jade bottle was broken by Ruohua......

Really! Although Li Xuanqing had been preparing for the bad news for a long time, she was still stunned for a long time after learning that the jade bottle had been broken. Li Xuanqing's appearance made Li Xiehe tremble, sweating on his hands and feet, for fear that Li Xuanqing would suddenly go berserk. But after thinking about it, Li Xuanqing is gentle and elegant, generous and virtuous, and it is impossible for her to run wild. But as soon as he thought about it like this, Li Xiehe was even more afraid, for fear that Li Xuanqing and Li Ruohua would play yin, if this was the case, Li Ruohua would not be able to resist Li Xuanqing's revenge at all.

Time condensed, and under the pressure of the tense atmosphere, Li Xiehe simply lived like a year. Under the gaze of Li Xiehe, Li Xuanqing did not get as angry as expected, but shrugged her shoulders and smiled helplessly: "If it's broken, it's broken, otherwise what can I do with her?" ”

Hearing this, Li Xiehe breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't dare to dwell too much on this topic, so I opened the curtains and said to the young man riding a tall horse next to the carriage: "Fang Gongzi, there is a cold house in front." Although it is not as grand as the mansion of the young man, it can barely be lived, and the young man should not be disgusted. "What kind of character is Lee Concord? The richest man in Hangzhou!. In the face of this handsome boy, he actually said such words, which shows that this young man's identity is by no means ordinary!
