Xia Benyu took the newspaper with both hands, read it intently, and found that this was a story about an honest teenager who overcame thousands of difficulties and dangers to complete the task. I don't know who wrote it, but reading it always has the taste of a novel, just like the remodeled "Journey to the West". But after reading the back, he realized that this article was telling the truth.

The young man was helped by the righteous in Liujiagang before returning to Songjiang. The answer is the same as Xia Benyu's memory, not at all. It was also when he saw this that Xia Benyu completely remembered the "little beggar" he met when he was walking with his wife and brother that day, and remembered that he casually gave him three or five taels of silver to help him go home.

"He's your buddy?" Xia Benyu suddenly felt that life was really unpredictable, who would have thought that the previous unintentional move would have an echo thousands of miles away.

Gu Shuisheng was not very familiar with Xing Mingfan. This unfortunate kid is an intern in his department, and maybe he will become a young man in the future. Before that, he didn't even know the name Xing Mingfan.

"Exactly." Gu Shuisheng said with a smile: "Where do you not meet in life." Mei Yigong's righteous deeds that day were remembered by the top and bottom of the contempt. All the expenses of the public here are borne by the contempt, and I would like to express my gratitude. ”

"How is this a good ......" Xia Benyu was a little overwhelmed.

How much silver did he give? Is it three taels or five taels? He doesn't even remember it himself. It was a very small matter to him, and the owner of this room had raised it so high—the price of an inn was probably higher than that little silver.

"Could it be your ......" Xia Benyu recalled Xing Mingfan's appearance, and only had a black and thin beggar figure in his mind, and he didn't even remember his eyebrows. Such an image really doesn't look like a person who matters. Besides, how could a really important person be reduced to that point?

"He's really just a little guy to the disdain." Gu Shuisheng said: "But the contempt is one and the same, Your Excellency's righteous help to the contemptible young man." It is the righteous help to the contempt. It's just that I didn't find your Excellency in Jiangnan, and I can't repay my kindness, and now I can't miss it. ”

Xia Benyu said embarrassedly: "Actually, this matter ...... I didn't pay much attention to it at the time...... Besides, it is also a merit of mine that ministering according to circumstances can really help others. How can you ask for a reward from your account? ”

"If you don't accept it, you can't report it." Gu Shuisheng said with a smile: "Anyway, from today onwards, no one in this village will charge you a penny." If your Excellency is really determined to go north, you can't stop it below, but please stay for a few days to see if you can wait for your companion. The boundary of Liaodong is really not as peaceful as Guannei. ”

Xia Benyu saw that Gu Shuisheng said so decisively, and he had no way to refuse, so he had to say in a loud voice: "It's okay." I took it. He knew that Liao Haixing didn't want others to get involved in this emerging place, but judging from their current attitude, it seemed that they wouldn't secretly use any means to corrupt others. As for whether to wait for someone to go with him, Xia Benyu was a little hesitant. He didn't know when he would be able to wait for someone, and if no other businessman came, would it be possible to keep waiting? Besides, isn't it just to take the sea route by yourself to take the first step from others?

"I'll leave tomorrow. so as not to make mistakes. Xia Benyu said.

Gu Shuisheng nodded slightly: "After all, the contempt still has to follow Your Excellency's wishes." In addition, can you see the address of Suzhou, and there is another gift presented to you. ”

Xia Benyu did not give in this time. He left his address in Suzhou. Because of the exchange of gifts, accepting gifts from others is not taking advantage of others, but also returning more on the basis of sending gifts. In this way, the relationship is closer. Being able to enhance friendship with a Jiangnan family is definitely a meat pie that fell from the sky.

Gu Shuisheng and Xia Benyu exchanged addresses and business names, and by the way, Xia Benyu introduced the organizational model of Yunjian Group. Xia Benyu then understood. It turned out that the young man he had helped was a young man from Renshoutang, and Gu Shuisheng was the shopkeeper of Liaohaixing, but because they both belonged to the Yunjian Group, they were still a family.

This made Xia Benyu a little awe-inspiring, just Renshoutang and Liaohaixing were already very amazing. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Isn't the Cloud Group a real giant? Only when he really faced it, he sincerely felt a feeling of looking up at the mountains, as if he was on the edge of the abyss, and his legs were a little weak.

The stall where the two were talking, the guest room had already been arranged. Gu Shuisheng saw that the topic was finished, so he motioned to the store manager to come over and take Xia Benyu to the room. Xia Benyu originally planned to live in a standard room, which was clean and bright, and the price was moderate, which was in line with his social status. However, this time they discovered the relationship between each other, and the inn forced him to change to a suite in an independent courtyard. This kind of high-standard guest room is not available in Jiangnan, where every inch of land is expensive, and only the Liangfangkou store is unique.

Xia Benyu entered the courtyard and found that the people at the inn had already settled his entourage and men. Looking at the furnishings here, although it is not as fine as the Jiangnan side, it is spacious and clean and has surpassed many middle and upper houses. Even if it is placed in Jiangnan, it can be called a fine house.

"This is a wooden cabinet from Jiangnan, but the materials are limited, and it is not as good as Jiangnan." The store manager said politely.

Xia Benyu is away all the year round, and the conditions for staying in the temple and Taoist temple are already good. He has no fame, and he can't borrow the mansion of a local wealthy family in his spare time. Even if someone pulls the strings, the price is expensive. At this moment, it was a little unbelievable to see that this small courtyard was placed for me like this, and there was a guy in the store who was following at any time.

Xia Benyu originally just wanted to stay overnight and leave, but he was trapped in this small courtyard. During the day, someone came to invite him to watch the wind around, and at night there was a banquet for Gu Shuisheng. Before you know it, seven days have passed in the blink of an eye. In the end, Gu Shuisheng got the news that there was a group of businessmen in Yaozhou who also wanted to go to Liaoyang. This is an unexpected joy, how many caravans can there be in the reckless north country in a year? It's good to be able to put together one.

Xia Benyu was also quite excited, and he was going to Yaozhou immediately. Gu Shuisheng sent supplies along the way, and assigned him a guide to Yaozhou, and sent horses and mules to the vehicle, which allowed him to go north. Xia Benyu really hasn't spent a penny these days, and his relationship with Gu Shuisheng has deepened, and he is quite reluctant to leave when he leaves, and he almost burst into tears.

Gu Shuisheng sent Xia Benyu away, and when he went back, he immediately repaired the book and sent a letter to report the situation here. The letters were first sent to Beijing by sea ship, and then they were sent back to Jiangnan by flying pigeons. At the current fastest speed of the Ming Dynasty, it will take about seven to ten days to be delivered.

"I have a favor in the clouds, I will repay my debts, and now I believe it!" Gu Shuisheng said at the end of the letter.
