Although Chen Youyi didn't say it so clearly in front of Li Yan, Li Yan was a smart person, and when he said this, he basically understood what it meant.

Chen Youyi also reminded him that he would pay attention to his behavior in the future, not that he couldn't find out, but just didn't investigate, this is trust.

Even if there is really something, it must be done in moderation, Chen Youyi can turn a blind eye, but it does not mean that everything is acceptable.

By the time she returned to her residence, Wang Da had already prepared the gifts, and the time was almost up.

"Madame, do you see enough of this? If that's not enough, I'll prepare some more. Wang Da put the gifts he bought in front of her for her to see.

Chen Youyi briefly glanced at the gifts prepared by Wang Da, and nodded with satisfaction, "That's all, you are going to buy a car, and we will go over now." ”

Wang Da immediately replied, "The carriage is parked outside, we can go at any time." With that, he began to pack up the gifts, and Chen Youyi didn't hesitate, so she and Wang Da came out and got into the carriage together, and went straight to the fruit merchant's house.

When the fruit merchant saw that it was Chen Youyi coming, he was quite surprised, "Why is Madam here, please come quickly." As he spoke, he immediately called out to someone to serve the best tea.

Chen Youyi was not in a hurry to explain his intentions, but after sitting down, he asked a few words of warmth, and said a few words about business, and then asked slowly with a teacup, "Have you been going to the south for business recently?" ”

The fruit merchant didn't think of Chen Youyi's purpose of coming here at that time, but when she came here to see herself, or because of business cooperation, she came to sit down, so she replied casually, "I've been doing it all along, but now the business over there is getting more and more difficult to do, and the fruits transported from Chen to the south will always be stopped and interrogated when they pass through Zhao State, if it weren't for some relationship, I'm afraid that the things here won't be used over there at all." ”

Chen Youyi's eyebrows moved, and a smile appeared on his face, "So, you have something to do over there, I heard that the people of your cargo ship Zhao Guo won't stop it, right?" ”

Hearing that Chen Youyi seemed to be very interested in the cargo ship, the fruit merchant subconsciously thought of the purpose of her coming here, "Madam, are you also interested in business in the south?" ”

"I'm interested, the market in the south is very large, I also want to go over and have a look, but I'm afraid I can't go over there at the moment, after all, Chen Guo and Zhao Guo are now at war, and it's not so easy to open up the market over there, not to mention that I don't have as much to do with you."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a compliment, but it made the fruit merchant laugh happily, "With Madame's ability, it is easy to win over some relationships over there, not to mention that the two of us have business dealings, if you need it, I can help you continue to open the market over there." ”

Chen Youyi understands that this fruit merchant is not just selling fruits and the like, most of them also rely on relationships to do business, and make money between some merchants and businessmen, this is because he understands this, so Chen Youyi specially came here to find him.

"The business over there is to be done, but the current situation is not very good, so I don't plan to expand immediately, just think that if there is a chance, I must go there to develop and develop, before the development, I also want to investigate the market over there, but if I want to go over there, I'm afraid there is some trouble, you have a relationship over there, and it is convenient, so I came to ask you today to see if I can take us to the south for a turn."

The fruit merchant had just picked up his teacup, and his brows furrowed slightly after hearing this, "Madame mean, you are going to the south in person?" ”

"Yes, only by going to see it in person can we understand the market situation over there, and only after understanding can we make the next countermeasures." Chen Youyi completely described the purpose of her coming here as a commercial purpose.

But these words made the fruit merchant hesitate a little, he slowly put down the teacup, looked a little embarrassed, and said apologetically after thinking for a while, "Don't hide it from Mrs. Madame, it's not that I don't want to help Madame, it's just that now Chen Guo and Zhao Guo are at war, although there have always been business dealings over there, but the people of Zhao Guo have a record of the business under Xia, that is to say, on the next ship, except for the few people who should be, there can be no other people, if there are other people, but they are not registered, It's bound to be detained, it's risky. ”

Before Chen Youyi could speak, he said, "Madame wants to know what the situation is, just ask me directly, I can help Madame explain the situation over there, and if Madame wants to do business, I can also help Madame pull a line, but at most, it can only be sent on my cargo ship, and I am afraid it will not work if I release people." ”

When it came to his mouth, he finally swallowed it, Chen Youyi's brows furrowed even deeper, if he couldn't let himself go to the south to see it in person, it would be meaningless.

Seeing that Chen Youyi stopped talking, the fruit merchant lowered her head slightly as if she was thinking about something, so he knew the real purpose of her coming here, and also persuaded her, "It's not that I don't want to be a lady, but the things here are too complicated, if the lady wants to go in person, Zhao Guo will be very sad, in case something happens to the lady over there, I really can't afford it." ”

Chen Youyi naturally understands this, there is no need for the fruit merchant to take such a big risk for himself, in case something really goes wrong on the merchant ship because of himself, the fruit merchant's business will also be affected at that time, that is not what Chen Youyi thinks.

She then stood up, and let go of the idea of letting the fruit merchant take her to the south, and saluted, "I'm sorry to embarrass you, and I'll think of another way to take my leave." ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave here with Wang Da, and the fruit merchant felt a little apologetic in his heart, and stepped forward to ask, "Is it really for business that Madame went to the south?" ”

"It's just for business." Chen Youyi replied, "I want to broaden my business, I have a wharf in Wangjiang Town, I have a wharf in Beijing, if I can build a wharf of my own in the south, then the whole river, back and forth freight will be much more convenient." ”

This made the fruit merchant quite admired, "Madame is really far-sighted, but I am afraid that it will not work at this time, after all, Zhao and Chen are still at war, and it is difficult to pass through there." ”

"You've already said that, I'm thinking of another way, and I'm leaving." After Chen Youyi finished speaking, he left here, and on the carriage back, he kept sighing.

After hearing this, Wang Da persuaded, "Madam, why don't we wait for Chen Guo and Zhao Guo to finish the war and then we will develop business over there, it is not unreasonable for me to hear what the fruit merchant said just now, it is really risky for us to go now, in case it is really discovered by the people of Zhao State, if something happens, we have no way to explain it to Brother Qin." ”

This is true, Chen Youyi also knows that the risk of going this time is too great, it is better not to go, but if you don't go, she really can't let go of it, this trip from the capital, she is ready to go to the south to have a look, first to see the market situation over there, and also to see the situation of the war between Chen Guo and Zhao Guo.
