When Mrs. Gu arrived at the banquet hall, she was about to bow to Shen Shaozhou when she saw him: "Second master, thank you for saving the little girl." ”
Seeing this, Shen Shaozhou hurriedly held her up: "Old lady, aren't you going to break my life!" ”
Qi Xiangdi looked at Shen Shaozhou. Thick eyebrows and big eyes, high nose and wide mouth, a square face with Chinese characters. This looks decent when it looks decent. Of course, people are not disguised. Only by digging deeper can we know whether this person is really reliable or not.
Qi Xiangdi walked over and helped Mrs. Gu sit down, "Auntie, let's sit down first, and say something slowly." ”
After everyone sat down, Qi Xiangdi looked at Shen Shaozhou and asked, "I don't know how Shen Er's family saved my cousin?" ”
He didn't doubt Shen Shaozhou, he just wanted to know how Gu Xian was saved.
It's actually a coincidence. Two years ago, a merchant ship was hijacked by Huo Kee Trading Company, and only a few survived. A month ago, he led a team to the South Seas and encountered a sea boat at sea.
Shen Shaozhou said: "It's also a coincidence that my subordinates recognized the person standing on the deck as the leader of the robbers who hijacked the ship that day. ”
This maritime merchant and pirate, that is incompatible. Since he was sure that the ship was a good guy who killed them and robbed their merchant ship, how could Shen Shaozhou let it go.
Qi Xiangdi was furious after hearing this: "These pirates are really daring, they dare to enter the city. ”
What made him most angry was that the government didn't even know about it, or that someone knew about it but didn't report it.
Shen Shaozhou said: "They are dressed as businessmen, and if they haven't seen them, they will be difficult to recognize. ”
"Do you know what they're here for?"
Shen Shaozhou smiled and said, "Isn't it about to be the New Year?" They're here to procure goods. ”
The merchant ships raided by pirates were loaded with valuables such as silk, satin, porcelain, etc., so the food, oil, and salt needed by the pirates still had to be purchased from outside.
Normally, pirates do not come inland, and they are purchased through Chinese. Otherwise, once the identity is revealed, if you are caught by the government, you will definitely die.
"Have all those pirates been killed by the second master?"
Shen Shaozhou nodded: "After solving all the people on the boat, we found out that there were eight women on the boat." ”
Eight women, five girls, six women. Gu Xian is the most beautiful, so she lives with the five girls. The other two women were ruined by the pirates, one was unconscious when rescued, and the other jumped into the sea when rescued.
Old Madam Gu felt fortunate again.
Shen Shaozhou explained why he didn't send Gu Xian back in time: "Our ship was full of goods, and we only returned after sending the goods to Nanyang, so we have been delayed until now." ”
After explaining everything clearly, Shen Shaozhou went back. Although the subordinates are all competent, such a large cargo still needs to be watched to rest assured.
Old Lady Gu took Gu Xian's hand and said, "Don't run out in the future, this time you want half my life." Again, I can't stand this old bone. ”
Gu Xian looked at the old lady Gu, whose hair was half white, how could she refuse: "I will accompany my mother at home in the future, and I will never run out again." ”
"I hope you can do what you say."
Mrs. Gu prepared a heavy gift for the Shen family, and also posted a post to invite Shen Shaozhou to come to the door.
Normally, Shen Shaozhou saved Gu Xian, they should have come to visit. It's just that the Shen family doesn't have a female dependent, so it's changed to the next post.
The Huo family firm has always wanted to have a relationship with Qi Xiangdi but has no way, and now that he has this opportunity, how can he refuse. Not only Shen Shaozhou came, but Huo Yan, the big boss of Huo Ji Commercial Bank, and his wife also came.
Huo Yan's wife, Ning's long-sleeved dancer, was commensurate with Gu Xian's two sisters in one morning.
After going back, Ning said to Huo Yan: "In charge, Sister Gu is at home." You say, how about giving her to Shaozhou? ”
Huo Yan hesitated a little: "People are the cousins of the prefect, how can they afford to look down on a big man like us." ”
Ning didn't like to hear this: "What's wrong with the prefect's cousin?" We are a talented person and a lot of money, why can't we look down on it? Moreover, Shaozhou can save her life. ”
Huo Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, the Qi family and the Gu family will think that we are begging for retribution!" ”
He also wants to have a good relationship with the prefect of Qi, but he can't annoy the prefect because of this.
Ning knew what he was thinking and took a bite out of him: "Am I such a brainless person?" I'm sure I'm going to probe them. ”
Huo Yan nodded.
The Zong family got Ning's tone, and it took two days to talk to Qi Xiangdi: "I asked people to inquire, this Shen Er is a decent person, he doesn't gamble and won't look for flowers and willows, and his only hobby is to raise flowers." ”
"Are there any concubines?"
Zong smiled and said, "No." Since the death of his wife, the housekeeping has been done by the housekeeper and his mother. ”
"Are you sure there are no other bad habits?"
This Zong clan didn't dare to guarantee it. After all, what she found was only on the surface, and what was hidden could not be detected.
"What is the evaluation of him by the people of Huo Ji Trading House?"
Zong said with a smile: "Affection and righteousness are also very generous, the only bad thing is that I don't like to smile and always have a straight face." ”
Qi Xiangdi knew that Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Gu both wanted Gu Xian to remarry: "You tell your aunt about this and let her decide." ”
On the same day, the Zong family told Mrs. Gu about this: "Mrs. Huo also likes her cousin very much and wants to be this matchmaker." ”
Old Madam Gu was surprised, but she still asked, "Is this what Mrs. Huo means, or does Shen Er mean to be in charge?" ”
Zong said with a smile: "Mrs. Huo said that with her understanding of Shen Er's family, he must have intentions for his cousin. It's just that I'm afraid that we will misunderstand the coercion, so I don't dare to show my thoughts. ”
Although Gu Xian is twenty-eight years old, she is still as delicate as a flower. Shen Shaozhou would take a fancy to her, and the Zong family was not surprised at all.
It is also Qi Xiangdi who is upright and upright, and he doesn't get along with Gu Xian alone on weekdays, otherwise the Zong family would be worried.
Mrs. Gu has also picked several these days, but she is always unsatisfactory, and she finally picked one Gu Xian but didn't like it. This is about to become a piece of her heart.
"Let me think about it for two days."
As soon as the Zong clan heard it, he knew that Mrs. Gu was moved, and immediately said all the things that he was about to inquire about: "As far as I heard the news, this Shen Shaozhou is okay in all aspects, but there are only two bad points, the first is that he is not smiling, and the second is that he has two sons. ”
Through getting along these days, Mrs. Gu knew that the Zong family was a very proper person, and it was okay for her to say this: "The flamboyant tongue is unreliable, and the most important thing for a man is to have a sense of responsibility and responsibility." As for children, Gu Xian also has Qingshu and An An. ”
It will be difficult for Gu Xian to give birth after being injured. Shen Shaozhou has two sons, and Gu Xian will not have the pressure of heirs in the future.
"But I still have to ask Shen Er about this. If people don't mean this, wouldn't we be bald and shaved hot? ”
Zong said with a smile: "My cousin's character and appearance are all first-class, unless Shen Er is blind, how can there be any reason to be unwilling." ”
