Li Tao paced back and forth for two steps and said, "If I don't go, there are still people waiting for me in the restaurant!" I can't accompany you anymore, so you can go back first. ”

Murong Baotong pouted and said stubbornly, "Don't go back." I've traveled thousands of miles to get here, and I just saw you, can't you stay with me a little longer? ”

Li Tao said that he had to accompany Zheng Hao to finish this meal before he could accompany her, and his goods were still on someone's ship! It's not good to cross the river and tear down the bridge at this time.

But at this moment, Zheng Hao's voice came from behind him.

"What do you do? Leave me there, and don't drink with me. Zheng Hao said, Zheng Laojiu followed him two or three steps away.

Zheng Hao walked closer and saw a beautiful woman standing next to Li Tao, seeing that she was dressed luxuriously, not ordinary people's clothes, and knew that her identity must be extraordinary.

He has been in the market for many years, and he has some ability to watch people's faces, and every time he sees a person's clothing and behavior, he can infer the approximate identity and status of this person.

He arched his hand to Murong Baotong, looked at Li Tao and asked, "Which daughter is this?" ”

Li Tao looked at Murong Baotong and thought about how to introduce her, saying that she was the lord of the palace, and it was really insulting to the dignity of the royal family to run around with a prince and county lord.

"I'm his cousin." Murong Baotong said, she looked up at Zheng Hao, a person who was more than half a head taller than Li Tao, with wide shoulders and a wide body. There is a heroic atmosphere when it looks like it.

Zheng Hao saw Li Tao's hesitation, and knew that there must be something inside, he looked at Li Tao and said with a smile: "Cousin Ling is really a fairy-like person!" He looked at Murong Baotong again and said, "You're here to pick him up and wash the dust, right?" Then take me with you! I've also come back from far, far away. ”

Murong Baotong raised his head and looked at Zheng Hao, "Are you the sixth elder of the Zheng family, or the ninth elder of the Zheng family?" She said.

Zheng Hao said with a smile: "I'm the sixth child, I don't know where you heard my name, are there any bad words that tarnish my reputation?" ”

"I just heard your name." Murong Baotong said.

Murong Baotong looked at Li Tao, and said that he didn't see him when he went to the dock in the morning, and he didn't find him after looking for a long time, and just now he asked someone to look for him, and the man came back and said that Li Tao followed the sixth master of the Zheng family, and the ninth child of the Zheng family was eating wine in Qingyun Tower.

After two days, Zheng Hao chartered Qingyun Tower as a bidding place to sell the two ships of seafood he brought back.

Several big businesses in the north and south were notified in writing by the Zheng family a few days in advance.

All converge on this day to Qingyun Tower.

After another four or five days, Zheng Hao negotiated the price and quantity with the merchants, and sold most of the goods.

Ruoxue also bought more than 200,000 taels of goods from Zheng Hao, mostly jewelry and jade.

"When will the prince pay me back 500,000 taels of silver?"

In a private room in Qingyun Building, Ruoxue sat on a high-backed chair at the round table, looking at Li Tao sitting by the window.

Ruohong sat on her right, smiling and watching the male and female protagonists perform, and there was a female supporting actress next to her.

Mei Zhigao sat on Ruohong's right, holding the jade cricket in his hand, listening to a few people.

Today, he was good-natured and didn't quarrel with Murong Baotong, and he could only see where he was sitting.

Murong Baotong sat sideways on Ruoxue's left, so that he could see Li Tao sitting at the window drinking tea, and he could also look at Ruoxue head-on.

A round table that could seat a dozen people, and at this time there were four of them.

Zheng Hao, who was sitting on Li Tao's left, said with a smile: "Miss Mei doesn't need to be in such a hurry, right?" He is very rich now, and he will not be able to pay back your money. ”

Ruoxue gently stroked the mutton fat jade bracelet on her left wrist, and said with a smile: "I know he has silver, so I don't care if he wants it!" You can't wait until he runs out of money, can you? ”

"Is it easy for me to make some money? Can't you wait for me to warm up the silver? Li Tao said.

Murong Baotong followed and said: "Brother Tao is not not going to pay you back the silver, what are you anxious about?"

Doesn't that mean there's still two months left to go? Brother Tao will definitely return it to you when the time comes. ”

Ruoxue smiled, did not dwell on this question, but looked at Zheng Hao and asked the boutique to press the bottom of the boat.

She thought that Zheng Hao would definitely leave some of the amazing items in order to give them away or enjoy them for herself.

When Zheng Hao heard her ask, he smiled and said: "There are really a few rare things, I want to keep them and give them away, since you asked, I'll give you a few!"

It's just that they're all on the ship, and it's already twilight at this time, so it's better for me to have someone pick it up and send it to you tomorrow,"

Murong Baotong felt that Ruoxue was really boring, and there seemed to be nothing else to talk about except business.

She waved her hand and Ruoxue didn't talk about business, she was busy for five or six days, she didn't have time to listen to Li Tao talk about the process of fighting pirates, and today she was finally free, so she had to listen to Li Tao talk about the process of fighting pirates.

"Sixth master, you also tell us to listen to the things about going overseas, and let us have a long experience." Murong Baotong said with a smile.

"Don't do it!" Zheng Hao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I know how I got there and how I came back, let him tell you." ”

"Alright then!"

Murong Baotong wished he could stay with Li Tao for a while and talk to him more, and he was naturally very happy to hear Zheng Hao say this, so that he could talk to Li Tao a lot.

Ruohong remembered the rumor a few days ago, so she asked with a smile: "Some people say that the prince of the world has taken in more than ten or twenty pirate women, and he hasn't even let go of other people's daughters, but is it true?" ”

Li Tao frowned when she asked, "This is what the person who should be killed said, let me know who he is, and see if I don't pick his skin!" He said.

When Zheng Hao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Murong Baotong turned his head and glared at Ruohong, blaming her for not opening which pot to mention, "Brother Tao, don't listen to their nonsense, this is someone who has tarnished your reputation." I don't believe it anyway,......" she said.

"Zheng Laojiu said this in the lobby of the Yuelai Inn a few days ago, and many people heard it at that time." Mei Zhigao said.

When Zheng Hao heard him talk about himself, he smiled and yelled outside: "Zheng Laojiu, you let Lao Tzu come in." ”

Zheng Laojiu heard someone calling him, so he pushed the door in, "Sixth brother, is there something wrong?" He said.

"Did you say that the prince took all the pirate women?" Zheng Hao asked with a cold face.

Zheng Laojiu heard him ask about this, and saw that Zheng Hao's face was not good, so he knelt down, "Yes, I said it......"

Li Tao went up and kicked him, shouting, "Where did you hear that? ”

It turned out that when Zheng Laojiu was at Penglai's house, he heard that his sixth brother's cargo ship had been recovered from pirates, and he heard that five or six hundred people had been killed, and only a few dozen women and children had survived.

That day, because of the rain, he was trapped in the inn, and he had nothing to do, so he used the story of the pirate fight as a story, and it was inevitable that he would suddenly add fuel and vinegar.

Because he asked for something, he didn't dare to smear Zheng Hao, so he touched a handful of ashes on Li Tao.

Li Tao angrily kicked him twice more before sitting down with his eyes open.
