Chapter 294: A good start
When Xu Liang walked out of the governor's yamen, it was already dark. Dai Yingying mentioned that she would go to the hotel first, and then return to Pingliang early tomorrow morning.
Naturally, the inn does not go to live. Although the post house of the court is free for officials, Xu Liang is also eligible to stay, but there are more officials who stay in this kind of place on weekdays, and it is very easy to meet people in the officialdom.
After dinner, Dai Yingying saw that there was nothing to do, so she wanted to ask Xu Liang to accompany her to the street to have a look.
took off his official robe and changed into civilian clothes, Xu Liang didn't look like an official at all, with a jade face, a scarf on his head, a white dress and snow, and then a gold-painted folding fan in his right hand, shaking it twice from time to time, he was really a handsome young man.
Dai Yingying walked beside Xu Liang, feeling the amazing gaze that stayed on Xu Dagongzi from time to time, and her vanity was greatly satisfied. When passing by a small building full of lights, there was a delicate and sweet greeting from the second floor near the window: "This son below, come up and have fun?" ”
"My sister can sing!"
"My sister can give a!"
Yingying Yanyan, affectionate, and enthusiastic appearance is almost making people suspect that if Xu Dagongzi raises his feet to go in, there will be a girl inside!
Several guards in disguise who accompanied him were reddened when they saw this, and Dai Yingying saw this and cursed in a low voice: "Shameless!" Hurriedly stepped forward and wrapped one of Xu Liang's arms tightly with both hands, as if he was afraid that Xu Liang would suddenly fly.
Xu Dagongzi smiled, his eyes glanced at the second floor, and muttered: "Too enthusiastic, too enthusiastic......"
Immediately, Dai Yingying was stunned by a white eye.
I walked leisurely for a while. Xu Liang suddenly set his eyes on the two men selling knives on the side of the street. Although these two people were wearing clothes backwards, Xu Liang could see it at a glance. These two people must be people in the army, and then look at the two simple knives placed in front of them. The system is also a thing in the army, Xu Liang watched from a distance of ten steps, and after a while, a strong man stepped forward to ask for the price, talked a few words, threw down two taels of silver, and bought the two knives.
I saw the two men who sold knives take the money and rushed to a nearby hotel, and as soon as they entered the store, they opened their throats and shouted, "Shopkeeper, bring two catties of beef to grandpa." Ten big buns, damn it, I haven't smelled meat in months......"
Dai Yingying asked strangely, "Xianggong, what's wrong?" ”
Xu Liang sighed lightly, and said as he walked: "I didn't expect that the shortage of salaries in the army has been strict to this point, and some people dare to take a saber out to exchange for food money." ”
Dai Yingying glanced back at the restaurant where the two men entered, snorted lightly, and said disdainfully: "The court is incompetent, and the traitorous ministers are in charge." The Ming Dynasty can't even support the army, where will it care about the people, no wonder the people are vying to rebel. ”
Xu Liang sighed lightly, Daming was short of finances. It didn't happen overnight. Xu Liang didn't want to pursue it, he could only take care of his own one-third of an acre. I just thought of seeing Li Ying, a guerrilla general in Guyuan, in the afternoon, and I was a little worried. The Governor's Mansion also has no money, and General Li Ying is afraid that he will have to run in vain. Returned empty-handed.
Nothing to say one night, the next day. Xu Liang and the others set off early in the morning and rushed back to Pingliang Mansion.
As soon as the carriage entered the door, the head of the Xu Mansion leaned forward and whispered, "Young Master, after the eldest lady returned to the house last night, she was not very interested. ”
Xu Liang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he was originally going to the groundbreaking ceremony of the Pingliang soap paste factory yesterday, but he was called by Governor Wu.
Xu Liang probed into the inner courtyard and asked where Feng Suqin, who was passing by, and learned that Feng Suqin was still in her own house, so Xu Liang put on a smile on his face and paced into Feng Suqin's small building.
Feng Suqin was dressed in close-fitting beige clothes and pants, as if she had just gotten up, combed in front of the mirror, long hair hanging down her shoulders, a black light supervisor, a waist that Ying Ying held in her hand, and two round buttocks squeezed the mahogany round stool, her eyebrows were green, as if she hadn't seen Xu Liang enter the room, and she looked intently at the bronze mirror.
Xu Liang remembered that someone once said that the most ambiguous moment in the world is when men cut their beards and beauties comb their hair. Then he stepped forward with a smile, wrapped his hands around Feng Suqin's slender waist, sniffed the beauty's hair, and said with a fascinated face: "I am so blessed with eyes, I rushed back early in the morning, and when I entered the door, I saw the beauty dressing in the mirror...... Lady, such a beautiful day, if we don't do something, wouldn't it be worth this great time? ”
Feng Suqin was still expressionless at first, but when Xu Liang finished speaking, his hands were still scratching lightly around his waist, and he couldn't hold back his expression anymore, and turned his face as if he was complaining: "Xianggong is busy with something big again, and he said that he was going to attend the commencement ceremony of the soap paste factory, but the result is always gone." It hurt the concubine to be a woman, and the family was alone in the scene. ”
Xu Liang glared at him and shouted fiercely: "But someone bullied the lady? Or did someone smash the field? Suqin, tell me quickly, I'll take someone to pick their skin! ”
Feng Suqin glanced at Xu Liang and muttered, "Hindsight." ”
Xu Liang chuckled, hugged Feng Suqin and said the reason why he summoned Governor Wu for questioning. Feng Suqin heard that Xu Liang did have something, so she didn't care. When Xu Liang asked about the start of the Pingliang soappaste factory, the expression on Feng Suqin's face really came alive, raised his head lightly, and said proudly: "Xianggong, you didn't go to the ceremony site, you didn't see the situation at that time, but it was lively." On that day, there was a long queue of people who wanted to order our soap cream, and finally considering that our own store still had to reserve some for sale, we signed a few orders and then suspended, and many people did not order and still had to make an appointment with us. ”
Xu Liang nodded, soap paste sells well in the northwest, Xu Liang has already guessed that soap paste is a thing that everyone can use, the price is not expensive, four cents a box, buy a box to save a little can be used for almost a month, so cheap and good, economical and practical things are naturally very popular.
"Who went to the ceremony?" Xu Liangruo asked again unintentionally.
"Well, several adults have gone, like Lord Huang of Pingliang Tuiguan, Lord Guo of Pingliang Zhi County, Lord Cheng He of Zhenyuan County, and Lord Qin Feng Qin of Huating Zhi County...... Several generals in the Liang army basically went. Feng Suqin chuckled, "However, the concubine knows that these adults can go to appreciate their faces, mostly because of your face." ”
Xu Liang laughed and said, "Then in the end, they found out that Xianggong and I were not there, are you particularly disappointed?" ”
Feng Suqin shook her head and said, "That's not it, even if there is, how can a few adults do it so obviously?" Oh yes, Xu Qianhu from the Jinyi Wei Xi'an Office actually came, and when he saw that the prime minister was not there, he deliberately left a letter to ask the concubine to hand it over to you. With that, Feng Suqin took out a fire-painted letter from the drawer of the dresser and handed it to Xu Liang.
Xu Liang was a little surprised, Jin Yiwei found him, isn't there something difficult to fall on him? took the envelope, checked the fire paint mark, and was about to open it, when Feng Suqin hesitated and said, "Xianggong, yesterday at the scene, my cousin Feng Min'er also came." ”
Xu Liang was shocked, looked at Feng Suqin, and said in a deep voice: "What is she here for?" ”
Feng Suqin whispered: "Cousin, she sold the house in Zhenyuan with a piece of the land, took 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and wanted to mix a share in the Pingliang soap paste factory and account for 10% of the shares. ”
"You promised?"
"Nope." Feng Suqin's voice became lower and lower, and said, "I said that this matter must be done with your nod." ”
Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said categorically: "Next time she looks for you again, you will sue her, and she will not want to get involved in all the properties under my Xu Liang's name." Just 10,000 taels of silver, I want to sit on a hundred percent of the shares, and dream of it. ”
Feng Suqin listened, remembered Feng Min'er's uneasy appearance when she found her, and couldn't bear it, and said: "I think my cousin is quite pitiful, she said that Huang Ziren is an official in Anton Zhongwei, and he spends a lot of money on weekdays, and they don't have a decent livelihood under their names...... Xianggong, why don't you let them participate in it? ”
Xu Liang's face sank, and he brushed his sleeves and scolded: "Confused! It's so good that the scar forgets the pain. Have you forgotten how the two of them treated us when your father-in-law was in trouble? This thing just doesn't work! Not negotiable! ”
Feng Suqin saw that Xu Liang was so angry, so she didn't dare to insist anymore. Combed his hair sullenly, changed into clothes, and saw that Xu Liang was looking through the letter sent by Xu Changqing, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei, so he didn't disturb him, took out an account book on the table, grabbed the abacus, and checked it carefully.
After a while, Feng Suqin raised her head and shouted in surprise: "Xianggong, come and see, the order we received yesterday alone is enough for the soap paste factory to produce at full strength for two months." This profit must be at least more than 20,000 taels...... Uh, Xianggong, what's wrong with you? ”
Feng Suqin shouted in surprise for a while, didn't hear Xu Liang's response, looked up, and saw Xu Liang pinching the letter, with a strange expression on his face, gritting his teeth for a while, and crying and laughing for a while.
I only heard a bang, Xu Liang smashed his fist on the round table next to him, shaking a box of rouge gouache on the table and shifting a few inches, Xu Liang sneered: "Good, good, very good!" (To be continued......)
