"Do you think our mother will like it?" Chen Youyi asked Qin Ziheng, he was concentrating on a hand-carved pattern, listened to the lady's words, and nodded busily, "Don't talk about our mother, I like this wardrobe, the workmanship is really good, I'm afraid that our mother will say that you are wasted again." ”

"It's not wasteful, as long as she likes it. Okay, you move this wardrobe to the old lady's house, be careful not to stumble when you move, the old lady and the young lady are in the room, you go to say hello in advance, don't scare the old man and children. Chen Youyi gave an order, and asked them to move the wardrobe to Mu Xiulian's room in the back.

"The lady has a heart."

"That's as it should be."

Chen Youyi smiled lightly, before she came to the capital, she had only one purpose in her heart, that is, to do her own business and live her own life, she was unwilling to let the people in the village look down on her, and she was not willing to be overstretched, but now when she came to the capital, she found that the whole world was not as simple as she imagined.

originally thought that when I came to this era, with my hard-working hands, I could make a difference, and I could get what I wanted, and even a rich party.

But things are far from being as simple as you think.

It was morning, Chen Youyi got up early in the morning, and Qin Ziheng, who was still a little dazed, was a little puzzled, "Where did the lady go so early?" It wasn't dawn yet. ”

"Today is the opening day of the wharf, I want to go to see it in person, because the wharf is relatively remote, and the building situation over there is not, so I set up a banquet in the largest restaurant in the capital, and invited a few people who have a face in the city, you will get up in a while, and when I come back from the wharf, I will go directly to the restaurant, you also go in advance, and some things are ordered to those people to arrange."

Qin Ziheng got up and remembered what Chen Youyi said to him last night, "Look at me, I'm dazed, I forgot such an important thing, I'll get up and go to the restaurant now." ”

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, just let Bai Tiesheng go to the restaurant first and keep an eye on it for a while, and you will go over later." Chen Youyi got dressed and hurried out, and before dawn she took a carriage to the dock.

There are not many people on the pier, most of them are their own guys, and here they just walk a form, hang up the lanterns that are only used for the opening, and some red silk, and set off a long firecracker.

Few people came here, Chen Youyi glanced at the empty surroundings, the cold river breeze blew her skirt, and the cool breeze drilled into her body, making her can't help but shiver.

"You guys are here and watching, and in a moment a cargo ship will come here, and when the time comes, it will unload the goods into our warehouse, and then have someone send me the list." Chen Youyi instructed a person in charge here, and stood by the river for a while, and saw the Yongle Wharf with flickering lights in the distance, which was brightly lit over there, but it was dim and dark, and there were almost no other people except his own buddies.

An inexplicable touch of sadness was born from the heart, Chen Youyi immediately suppressed this feeling, it will be fine in the future, as long as you manage it well, the wharf will definitely become prosperous, just like the wharf in Linjiang Town.

She secretly cheered herself up in her heart, knowing that there were many people in the capital who were suppressing her business, and among these people, there were some people who had a grudge against Qin Ziheng.

After standing here for a while, wrapping the shawl on his shoulders, he turned around and got into the carriage and returned to the capital.

She booked a banquet in the best restaurant in the capital, asked Bai Tiesheng to contact a few more famous businessmen, and invited Li Batian to come, although there were not many people, but she was already content to have a few people come here to cheer for herself.

But when Chen Youyi arrived at the restaurant, he saw that the front of the restaurant was empty, except for the two people who greeted him, there was no one else, let alone a sedan chair or a carriage.

Her first reaction was that she felt that something was not right, and after getting out of the car, she hurriedly walked into the restaurant, and saw Qin Ziheng sitting at a table, frowning and listening to the reply of the next person.

Seeing Chen Youyi come in, he hurriedly stood up, "What's going on?" Why didn't anyone come at this hour? She looked around, and she had invited many guests, but none of them.

Qin Ziheng grabbed Chen Youyi's hand, walked towards the inner hall, and only stopped when he reached a place where there was no one, and lowered his voice, "Those guests you invited have all sent people to say that there is something to do today." ”

"How so? If there is something, it won't be something for everyone......" As soon as the words fell, Chen Youyi saw the reason from Qin Ziheng's face, "Someone deliberately stopped them from coming over behind their backs." ”

"It's not necessarily that they deliberately stopped it, maybe these people didn't dare to offend those powerful people so they didn't dare to come over easily, and they also made people apologize."

Biting her lower lip tightly, blood appeared, and Chen Youyi's hands were clenched tightly, "It's Yuefu, right?" ”

"I'm afraid there is no one else besides them."

"What about Mr. Lee? He promised me that I would come. ”

"He hasn't sent anyone yet, he doesn't know yet."

At this moment, Bai Tiesheng hurriedly came in from outside, "Mrs. Mr. Li is here, and the sedan chair has just fallen." ”

"Quick, go out and greet you." Chen Youyi and Qin Ziheng hurried to the front hall and saw Li Batian walking in.

"Mr. Li, you're here."

"Congratulations, I didn't expect your dock to really open, I wish you a prosperous business in the future." Li Batian clasped his fists with both hands and politely congratulated, he glanced around, and seemed to understand something, but he didn't say anything.

"Mr. Li, please take a seat, I will have to rely on Mr. Li's help in business matters in the future."

"Where is this, you don't let the women shave your eyebrows, I am very optimistic about your horse head, but ......" Li Batian glanced around again, there were words in the words, but in the end he didn't say it, the situation in front of him seemed to be very clear without explanation.

"I won't sit down, I still have some business matters to deal with at home, so I came over to congratulate me, and we will meet again another day."

Chen Youyi frowned and hurriedly stepped forward, her voice was very low, she didn't want to embarrass Li Batian and force him to stay, she just wanted to ask clearly, "Mr. Li, is there something difficult about it?" ”

"Madame, some people don't want to see you do business here, and they don't want to see you do a good job here, Madame's road may be a little difficult in the future, and those who can't get used to you are not only some people in business, but also some people in the court, and they can only talk about it here, and I hope Madame understands."

Chen Youyi took a step back and saluted Li Batian, "Thank you Mr. Li for coming to congratulate me in person, this friendship has been accepted, Mr. Li will go slowly, and he will definitely come to the door another day to thank you." ”
