Chapter 504: Yangzhou Night
On the tenth day of the fifth month, Feng Jinde, the cousin of Feng Shaoxian, the current head of the Feng family, came to Xuzhou City, and with it, there were thirty boats of salt and dozens of carts of goods, which suddenly compared the other families.
These thirty ships of salt were unloaded at the Hejia ferry in the north of Hejiazhuang and transported to the salt market, and the price of the salt market was reduced by 20% on the same day.
In addition to the salt goods, three-quarters of the goods transported by the dozens of carts were the goods of the Feng family's various commercial banks, and the Feng family was also optimistic about the prospects of Xuzhou Salt City.
As for the remaining quarter, it is a gift from the Feng family to Zhao Jin, Jiangnan brocade, ginseng outside the Guan, gold, silver and jade are all available, and there are four fourteen-year-old girls selected from Yangzhou and Nanjing Qinhuai River, all of whom are first-class beauties.
This harmony really has an attitude of seeking peace, this heavy gift is given, Jin Ye must be very satisfied, the relationship between the two families will be quickly closer, and the rest of the salt merchants and salt lords who came here have also given gifts, and they are also consciously able to get their hands on it, compared with the Feng family, it is nothing.
Jin Ye is when he is young and vigorous, when he sees the gold and silver treasures, how can he bear it when he sees this stunning beauty, the eldest lady of the Xu family is old and has big feet, and she will definitely not look for a liking, the Feng family came like this, and squeezed everyone away.
Zhao Jin's attitude towards the Feng family proves everyone's speculation, Zhao Ziying not only arranged the best shop for the Feng family in the salt market, but also heard that Zhao Jin put those girls into his house that day.
"Take a good look at these women, I can help you do things, if you can't help, you can be encircled inside, and arranged in the future, but the news must be kept confidential, if I don't use it, then I must strictly investigate and deal with it!" Zhao Jin and Xu Zhenzhen said it very clearly.
Zhao Jin's attitude made several of Xu Zhenzhen's henchmen stunned, when they heard the news outside, they came over nervously to report, Xu Zhenzhen was indifferent to this matter, and said that she couldn't manage it, so why bother.
When Zhao Jin threw these stunning beauties into the inner house, these henchmen vaguely felt a little disappointed, their own master was not even tempted by such a posture, and he had no chance.
Xu Zhenzhen also did things properly, saying that it was an important place in the inner house, and the access control should be strictly enforced, the female dependents were not allowed to go out, and all the drinking and water consumption had to be handed in through the wall.
Even Zhao Zhentang and his wife knew about this matter, and specially arranged for someone to bring a letter from the city, asking Zhao Jin to take care of his body and not be too indulgent, but He Cuihua also said that it is good to have a child as soon as possible, if Xu Zhenzhen is old, find something else to try.
This message made Zhao Jin cry and laugh, but he didn't let Xu Zhenzhen know it, and he still understood this kind of proportion.
Liu Yong went to Xuzhou City on an errand, Chen Sheng went back to Xuzhou to visit his family, this is also a common thing, Zhao Ziying was closed as usual, and some people moved to Pizhou and Kongjiazhuang, which is also a common thing.
Feng Jinde, who came to the Feng family, didn't leave when he came here, and arranged for someone to buy land near the left of Xiaoshi Village, preparing to build a mansion and courtyard, and sold a fairly clean courtyard to live in, looking like he was going to stay for a long time.
In Xuzhou, Feng Jinde's attitude is polite and humble to the extreme, he has to come to the door every day to greet him, and he has to give gifts and banquets every few days.
This Feng Jinde has a very high status in the Feng family, and the pomp is not small, and the entourage and servants that come with him, the Zhao Ziying of the mansion can't arrange people to get in, and it is not easy to inquire about the news, but he also knows a little bit about it, for example, Feng Jinde thinks that Xuzhou is a good place.
"Although it is a little poorer, it is finally a situation, Yangzhou side of their long house is too close, do not let outsiders interfere, can run this salt market well, is also the foundation of the heirloom."
Feng Jinde lives very comfortably in Xuzhou, but the Feng family's own family in Yangzhou is very troublesome, the people of the Feng family are trembling, and there is this trouble in doing things for big families.
The old lady Feng has punished a few stewards with heads and faces, the old man of the Feng family does not dare to go out, he calls the church all day long, the famous girls on the shore of the ship go in and out, and the courtyards even fight for this, who is called into the door by the Feng family It is a supreme brilliance, and there is naturally no crying in the Feng family's inner house.
It is now the middle of summer, the canal is sailing, the news of the Beijing division has been passed back, after the Beijing inspection, there are not many people in the south of the court and the officials of the Jing, the Feng family in the court, one of the two backers in the court, one of them did not dare to move, according to the legend of the Feng family's inner house, the letter of the Feng family to ask for help was returned intact, and the Feng family father and son lost their temper.
The Feng family has been in business for so many years, it is not that there is no official relationship without these two people, even the inner court yamen can speak, but inexplicably, the sticks in the poor place of Xuzhou are actually related to the inner court, it is said that the support is still the red man who is about to enter the ceremonial supervisor, no one dares to come out in the outer court, and there are hard ideas in the inner court, and the Feng family has nothing to do in the officialdom.
Although the people in charge of the family refused to give up, the rest of the Feng family felt that they should not continue, that day, Feng Shaoliang, together with the guards around him and the outer house, a total of more than a dozen lives, the people sent by the Feng family to clean up and check were often woken up by nightmares in the middle of the night, everyone usually felt that Yangzhou City was peaceful for ten thousand years, and there would be no fighting and killing at all, who would have thought that the other party would come to the door directly, and even everyone felt that this Feng family mansion was not safe.
No one thought about returning to the city, Feng Shaoliang was in the city, and it was not safe to take it in the city.
To say that the boat leak happened to hit the headwind, the Feng family was in chaos like this, but Feng Bao, the leader in charge of the guard, was caught raping, and someone saw him hooking up closely with a maid in the inner house, and this maid was used by Feng Shaoxian, after receiving dozens of whips, Feng Bao was sent to Haizhou, and the guards on the Feng family's side were stared at by the housekeeper Feng Da.
It is said that after Feng Jinde went to Xuzhou to make peace, the wife of the head of the family, Feng Shaoxian, once said that they had already made peace, so why should they be so trembling, but Feng Shaoxian slapped him a few times.
After suffering such a big loss, there is no actual action until now, the Feng family has been treated as a paper tiger, and the Pan family, the second-ranked salt merchant in Yangzhou, said unceremoniously in private, if he changed his family and encountered such a thing, he would have already scattered his family wealth, or gathered officers and soldiers, or mobilized green forest figures, how could he have to fight with that Zhao Jin endlessly, the Feng family is purely a bad seed that has been peaceful for a long time.
In Yangzhou's salt industry, everyone began to do their own thing, the original Feng family set the share and price, and now no one cares, and some people begin to think about the Feng family's buyers.
Yangzhou on May 25 has been hot, the painting boat on the Baoyang River is floating, and the scene of the so-called fireworks Yangzhou has begun to show, but it has not yet reached the most prosperous and lively moment at this time, so there are not so many indulgent drinking carnivals and sleepless nights.
Why is there no prosperous scene on the Feng family's side, there is indulgence in the house, and it is also closed and nonsense, and it will not expose people, and the scene of the crowd of guests in the past is naturally gone, and no one will touch this mold, and the streets around are deserted.
When I arrived, both the river and the street were already quiet, and no one could be seen passing by, and a few carriages ran slowly, not to mention that there were no people on the street, even if there were people, they wouldn't care.
A carriage stopped at the intersection, the rest of the carriages continued to move forward, a carriage stopped the intersections, jumped off the carriage, someone ran quickly towards the Baoyang River behind the Feng family compound, came to the river and whistled a few times, the river came to the unreal bird call, not long after, there were boats docked, and a dry person went ashore lightly.
Feng Mansion at night, there is a big lantern hanging at the main gate, and there are four guards on duty in front of the door, but it is really useless, at most it is just a style, and it will be over, everyone can't stay up, and they can't stop napping there.
Hearing the sound of footsteps in front of them, these nurses hurriedly opened their eyes, but saw two husbands and the accompanying Zhuang Yong coming not far away.
"Come here and be thirsty, beg for water!" The man said with a grin.
"Go, go, there's no water for you to drink here." A nurse who was woken up said impatiently.
What kind of door is the Feng family in Yangzhou, how can there be a little husband in his eyes, although the housekeeper Feng Da has restrained and admonished him several times, saying that everyone is polite to the errand, but the nostrils of the Feng family have always been facing the sky.
The husband was not angry after being rejected, the three people behind him also lowered their heads, and the husband took a step up the steps and pleaded: "This dark sky, why is it late, there is no water elsewhere, a few people are doing well......"
The nurse frowned, there are people who are so short-sighted to take a good nap, and this husband and his three companions are too ignorant, so they came up directly.
"Go down, go down, do you know whose house this is? Are you new here? The nurse said politely.
"No, your accent is a bit weird, you're not ......" Someone finally saw that something was wrong, but they only had time to say half of it, and the husband and three companions were already standing in front of them, one to the other, and pushed the person violently, and in this gap, the short knife had already pierced into the chest.
It was too late to call out, and the four people who did it had already taken out a handkerchief with the other hand and covered their mouths directly.
