Chapter 80: Bridge Repair Storm (3)

At night, Yang Jingzhou took the lady to Qi Dafu Village, Qi Dafu Village after half a year of construction, has reached the final stage of sweeping, the wide front hall is being renovated, it is very surprising that this Qi Dafu Village did not install an iron fence, and the Zhu Qi Nanmu counter is only Qi people's chest, which is completely different from the kind of one-person high counter in other money villages, the iron fence with a thick thumb is completely different, people can't believe that this is a money village, and there are nearly twenty chairs in front of the counter, The rounded back of the chair can completely surround the person who saves and withdraws money, so that people can't see the customer's appearance at all, and it will give the customer a sense of security.

This is naturally Wujin's creativity, which was learned by Miss Qi and directly applied to this Qi Dafu's money bank.

The lobby is brightly lit, more than a dozen carpenters are busy nervously, basically completed, and the last little finishing decoration, the shopkeeper is the shopkeeper Liu who visited the Jin Fu Ji pawnshop last time, he is carefully checking every detail.

On the bench against the wall sat a middle-aged man, tall and fat, thick eyebrows and big eyes, lion nose, quite majestic, he held his hands in front of his chest, although he was looking at the counter, his eyes seemed a little absent-minded, his name is Qi Huan, is the fourth son of the old lady Qi, the entire Qi family almost moved to the capital, the old house in Pingjiang County only left four sons Qi Huan to guard, he is responsible for the acquisition of raw silk and white silk in the industrial chain of the Qi family, it is now the beginning of May, it is the first period of the listing of fresh cocoons, the Qi family has hundreds of cocoon collection points in various parts of Chuzhou, At this time of year, Qihuan inspects all over Chuzhou.

But this year, he stayed in Weiyang County for a particularly long time, the reason is that this Qi Dafu Money Village is about to open the day after tomorrow, and the Qi family is in charge of the money village business is the second Qi Wei, and Qi Wei can't catch up in the capital, so he entrusted the fourth child to come forward and preside over the opening ceremony of the new money village for him.

The opening of an important store must be presided over by an important person of the Qi family, which has always been a practice, and this time is no exception, Baxianqiao Qianzhuang is undoubtedly an important store.

"Proprietor Yang, and Mrs., come over so late!"

The respectful greeting of Shopkeeper Liu came from the door, interrupting Qi Huan's contemplation, he raised his head and saw the pleading eyes of Yang Jingzhou and his wife, looking at him.

Qi Huan's right eyelid jumped twice, he didn't like the couple very much, although Mrs. Qi was his sister, although Yang Jingzhou was his brother-in-law, and was the son-in-law of the Qi family, but Yang Jingzhou's small businessman nature and the style of the Qi family have always been incompatible, and he didn't have the courage to expand, so he guarded his small restaurant on two acres of land, and counted all day long. 'Birthday gift of 500,000 Wen', which seems to be a huge amount, but in fact it is only five hundred taels of silver, this kind of face-saving and stingy approach makes many people in the Qi family shameless towards Yang Jingzhou, and naturally includes Qi Huan.

Although he didn't like it in his heart, he couldn't help it, after all, it was the clan sister and the clan brother-in-law, he stood up and barely squeezed out a smile, "It turned out to be you!" Is there something wrong with coming so late? ”

Yang Jingzhou gently pushed the lady from behind, and Mrs. Qi Yang immediately covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and cried sadly, "Fourth brother, you have to be the master for us!" Someone bullied us on the head. ”

Yang Jingzhou also followed behind and howled, "Bullying the Yang family is also bullying the Qi family, is it tolerable or unbearable!" ”

"That's it! All right! Don't you cry, don't you feel ashamed of so many people? ”

Qi Huan's brows have been wrinkled, his little clan sister was very lively and lively when she first got married five years ago, he still likes it, but it has only been five years since he married this surnamed Yang, what has become of this? Applying such a bright grease, smearing such a thick powder, as soon as he cried, the fat powder on his face fell down, extremely vulgar, it was originally a pearl, but now it has become a dead fish eyeball, it is really marrying a chicken like a chicken, marrying a dog like a dog, he pressed the unhappiness in his heart, and comforted their husband and wife, "Isn't it the broken bridge?" Wait for half a year at most, and after half a year, the new bridge will be completed, isn't the business better? ”

"But fourth brother, we can't afford to wait for half a year!"

Mrs. Qi Yang said with a handful of tears and snot: "If the temporary bridge is built on the edge of the old bridge, it doesn't matter, but it can be repaired on the side of Hu Min Lane, which is obviously bullying our restaurant, fourth brother, you can't ignore it!" ”

"What are you arguing about? It's so late. ”

A young girl came out of the back room, her appearance was beautiful, her skin was as delicate and crystal as ice jade, without a trace of flaw, but her eyes were very cold, holding a pen in her hand, looking at Yang Jingzhou and his wife unhappily, she was Qi Fengwu who Wujin had met several times, she was only sixteen years old this year, she was the third daughter of Qi Mao, the son of the Qi family, and the most precious granddaughter of the old lady Qi, she had a superb business talent since she was a child, especially good at calculation, and her heart was as careful as a hair, plus her surname was arrogant, jealous and hateful, Old lady Qi gave her a very important errand to inspect Qi Ruifu's industrial account books, especially the income and expenditure of money and goods.

Qi Fengwu has been conducting internal audits in Qi Ruifu's shops in various parts of the Daning Dynasty since she was thirteen years old, she is not fake to anyone, she is used to putting on a cold face, plus she is extremely shrewd, any clues will be investigated to the end, so no one in the Qi family is not afraid of her.

This time the money village of Baxian Bridge, the Qi family even bought a house to build, plus 50,000 taels of silver start-up capital, the Qi family invested a total of 100,000 taels of silver, and the Qi family is also a big investment, seeing that it is about to open, Qi Fengwu settled in, reviewing the various expenses in the past six months, she came three times, each time she came to stay for a few days, and met Wu Jin in the noodle shop when she came for the second time, if you don't count the previous time you temporarily stayed in Beishi to buy diamond earrings, then this time is the third time, this afternoon just arrived, she is verifying the key accounts, but was disturbed by the crying of Yang Jingzhou and his wife.

She came out to see Yang Jingzhou and his wife, this is also the person she dislikes the most, she is not like the fourth uncle who reluctantly smiles, she never pretends to like and dislikes in her heart, and suddenly her face is like ice, and she snorted heavily.

Yang Jingzhou and his wife saw that she was also there, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything, and at this moment, there was a sudden 'boom!' There was a loud bang.

A loud noise in the dead of night shocked everyone in the room, looking at each other, Yang Jingzhou was the first to react, "Not good!" He shouted, pulled his legs, and ran out.

"Husband, wait for me!"

His wife also ran out, and not only them, but all the men and carpenters put down their work and ran out to see the excitement.

"Fourth uncle, what's wrong?"

Qi Fengwu asked with some surprise, she entered the city directly from the east gate today, and she didn't know about the bridge repair.

"It seems that the Eight Immortals Bridge is going to be demolished and rebuilt, which has affected the business of Yang Ji Restaurant, and I don't know too much about the specifics."

Qi Fengwu's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Demolishing the Eight Immortals Bridge, didn't it say that it would destroy feng shui?" Who's doing it? ”

Qi Huan shook his head, "I don't know, let's go take a look!" ”

He instructed a few guys to take care of the shop, and then walked out, Qi Fengwu also wanted to take a look, but when her account was at the most critical, she hesitated for a moment, and finally she was still worried that the land she had fancied last time would be robbed, so she put down her pen and hurried away.

The Eight Immortals Bridge has been filled with a lot of people, they are all attracted by a loud noise, the Eight Immortals Bridge on the Zitong River has been demolished, the guardrails and bridge plates on both sides have been removed, the loud noise just now is the sound of the main beam falling into the river, the main beam of the general wooden bridge is a huge iron pillar, the Eight Immortals Bridge is no exception, after nearly two hundred years of wind and rain erosion, the iron main beam has been seriously corroded, and there is a danger of breaking at any time.

The iron pillar weighs 10,000 catties, and it is impossible to drag it with more than 20 bridge repairers, Wu Jin asked Heimi to help, and found more than 100 dock porters, who are working together to dismantle the bridge, dozens of thick ropes are set on the iron main beam, and more than 100 dock workers are dragging the north bank of the bridge, shouting slogans, and slowly dragging the black and swarthy huge iron main beam ashore.

"You can't! Can't be dismantled! ”

Yang Jingzhou cried and jumped and shouted by the bridge, grinning and howling, he held a handrail of the old bridge in his arms, as if his beloved woman had parted with him, but unfortunately he was on the south bank and couldn't get through, otherwise he would really rush over and fight hard, his wife persuaded him on the side, "Master, anyway, if you want to build a new one, you can tear it down!" ”
