But since Lord Cai spoke, he couldn't just quit, besides, this Zeng Gongzi was really too young, even if he had some knowledge, Lin Zhaoqing didn't believe that he really had the ability to do a profitable business, and he could make himself give up his ambition to go to sea and cooperate with him.

"Well," Cai Junmo twisted his beard and smiled, "When you are free tomorrow, you two young people can talk, let's make an appointment to talk about it, it's not too early today." I think it's time for Li Yongxing to invite us to the table. ”

said, and glanced at Banniang, which means that I have built a bridge for you, as for whether you can walk this bridge, it depends on your own ability.

Banniang smiled, the doubt in Lin Zhaoqing's eyes about her ability, she saw it clearly, but she was not in a hurry to explain. If it is true, she believes that she has the ability to persuade Lin Zhaoqing, but the matter of cooperation is Cai Junmo's temporary idea, and she herself has never thought about it, and what is there to say, so she said: "Listen to my father-in-law, I will definitely make an appointment with Brother Lin to ask for advice another day." ”

After chatting a few more words like this, Lin Zhaoqing was about to leave, and Li Yongxing had personally come to invite Cai Junmo and a few people to the table.

The banquet was full of businessmen from all walks of life, and Lin Zhaoqing naturally couldn't sit with them. Banniang is going to accompany Cai Junmo, a dinner, from time to time someone comes to toast Cai Junmo, Banniang saw that he was about to get drunk, so as a righteous son, he helped Cai Junmo drink a few glasses, originally thought of such a low-alcohol wine, drinking a few glasses is no problem, but I didn't expect this body to be successful, only a few glasses, I felt my heart beat faster, my head was dizzy, fortunately, the banquet was almost over. Cai Junmo has been being dragged to talk, and when he was about to disperse, he noticed Banniang's strange appearance, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You kid, if you are not good at drinking, what is the strength?" Although my father-in-law and I are not massive, is it possible that I can't even survive this scene? ”

I want to say goodbye to Li Yongxing.

Where will Li Yongxing let him go back?

Cai Junmo thought that he also had something to discuss with Li Yongxing, so instead of coming back tomorrow, it would be better to stay, so he asked Banniang: "Or, you will stay here with your father-in-law for a night today." ”

Banniang was unwilling, she was afraid that Uncle Liu and the others would be worried, and then she would have to go back and ask about the wood. Then he said: "Father-in-law, Hachiro still has something to go back to deal with, and he didn't explain his place to the people who accompanied him when he came, if he doesn't go back, won't they be worried?" I'll pick you up tomorrow when Hachiro comes back. ”

Li Yongxing persuaded: "It's okay, which inn is the person accompanying the son-in-law?" I'll send someone to say it. ”

Banniang politely refused: "I really have something to go back and deal with." ”

Cai Junmo said: "If she wants to go back, let her go back." ”

Li Yongxing wants to send someone to send her again, because it is a coastal city, the population in the city is complex, in case something happens, the person leaves from his house, and it is Cai Junmo's righteous daughter, although she is wearing men's clothes, she is afraid that it will not be safe, if something really happens, it is also his responsibility.

Banniang thanked him for his kindness and insisted on leaving the house.

At this time, she was really dizzy, so she wanted to go out for a walk alone and let off the smell of alcohol.

Staying under the guidance of the people of the Li Mansion, out of the Li Mansion with bright lights and graceful Nine Heavens Garden, walking on the edge of the East Lake, blowing the cool summer breeze of early autumn, Banniang couldn't help but feel a chill.

The temperature difference between morning and evening in coastal cities is large, but she ignored it herself, and after drinking alcohol, she felt a little uncomfortable under the heat and cold. Hurriedly quickened his pace, staggered all the way to the west, and before he reached Renfeng Gate, he heard someone behind him shouting: "Zeng Gongzi? ”

Banniang sounded a little familiar, so she turned around and saw that in the faint night, someone was hurrying towards her.

The only one who can call himself "Zeng Gongzi" is Lin Zhaoqing, who I only met today.

When the people came to the eyes, with that ridiculous hairstyle and a cold and hard face, who else could there be besides Lin Zhaoqing?

"Uh, Brother Lin?"

Banniang felt that her eyes were a little shaky.

Lin Zhaoqing grabbed her, frowned and asked, "Why are you alone?" The Li Mansion didn't send someone to send you? What about Lord Cai? ”

"I want to go alone, my father-in-law stays in the Li Mansion."

Banniang struggled for a while, but Lin Zhaoqing grabbed it very tightly, and she couldn't break free for a while, so she smiled at Lin Zhaoqing.

Above the nine heavens, there was only the faint moonlight of the thin crescent moon at the beginning of August, but Lin Zhaoqing saw clearly that the smile was like a pair of eyes in the sky, and he couldn't help but tighten his chest, and quickly let go.

The faint aroma of wine, accompanied by the unique fragrance of the woman's body, penetrated into his nostrils, and the inexplicable softness of his chest due to the touch.

After all, Lin Zhaoqing was a monk since he was a child, and he only came out of Kaiyuan Temple three years ago, although he has been walking outside for nearly three years, but he is only seventeen years old, how can he know about this man and woman? I wondered for a while, and my face turned red inexplicably, but fortunately, there was a night to hide, and Banniang was also a little dizzy, where would I notice his face. just fell into someone else's arms, although it was only this other person, it was only a half-grown teenager, which also made her very embarrassed for a while.

He stretched out his hand, pushed Lin Zhaoqing's chest, and left his arms. Lin Zhaoqing exhaled a breath at this time, and felt that the hands on his chest were also extremely soft. There is a feeling of nephrite warmth. When Banniang left him, he felt relieved and felt inexplicably lost.

I heard Banniang say: "I'm sorry, I just got a little dizzy, I didn't stand firm, and I was rude." Brother Lin, don't mind. ”

Lin Zhaoqing coughed and was silent for a moment before saying, "Since you have drunk, how can you walk alone in the night?" The population of Quanzhou is complex, and you are not a local, in case something happens...... I see you've drunk a lot of alcohol too, where do you live? I'll send you back. ”

"Aren't you alone too?"

Lin Zhaoqing choked.

Can I be the same as you alone? If he also had an accident in Quanzhou City, where he had lived for more than ten years, it would really have become a joke.

However, this Zeng Gongzi looks too weak.

Lin Zhaoqing was afraid that she would fall again, so he took her hand with him, and felt that the hands in his palm were as soft as boneless, and his heart couldn't help jumping again.

Banniang raised her face and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, although we are all men, it is a little inappropriate for you to hold my hand like this." If someone sees it...... You're afraid you'll regret it in the future. ”

Lin Zhaoqing: ......

Banniang pulled out her hand and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I didn't meet you just now, haven't I also walked so far?" It's better to talk while walking, and Brother Lin will also talk to me. ”

When Lin Zhaoqing saw her insistence, and when he heard him say the word "regret", the expression on his face that seemed to be smiling was also a little stunned. The feeling of strangeness in my heart is even worse. And he followed her.

"I heard my father-in-law talk about you, I was very curious, if Brother Lin didn't blame me for being presumptuous, can you tell me, how did you become a monk in Kaiyuan Temple since you were a child, and then you wanted to entangle the caravan business?"

Why? Lin Zhaoqing smiled bitterly.

Why else, the monk lived a rich life, but his family was poor, his parents were helpless, and they believed in Buddhism, so they sent him to the temple as a monk.

He is a monk with Du Die. And a Du saucer, worth a thousand gold, is something that many people can't ask for. Now that he has returned to the world, it is also because his family is too poor, although he has entered the empty door, he is far from reaching the point of six pure roots, how can he bear it when he sees his parents living a difficult life?

The original wish was actually very simple, but I hoped to improve the life of my family with my own efforts. But when he really started business, traveled all over the north and south, and saw the vast scenery on the sea, he fell in love with such a life of air, sea and sky.

It was also a good time for him, if it were not for Lord Cai to open up trade routes, support Quanzhou's commercial exhibitions, and provide various convenient policies to Quanzhou merchants, and the Great Song Dynasty tax law was strict, he would not have developed a caravan to today's level in such a short period of time. is also the reason why he has the courage to say thank you to the outgoing Lord Cai in person.

From a small monk to a businessman who is now one of the largest in Quanzhou, how can a son like Zeng Balang understand it?

"Without him, poor ears."

Lin Zhaoqing lightly spit out four words.

The reason is similar to my original reason.

Banniang smiled: "I can't imagine that the reason why you and I do business is the same." ”

"You're not a rich boy? How can you do business because of poverty? "He thought he was just going to be a businessman, just idle.

Banniang glanced at him: "Brother Lin, where did you see the appearance of my rich son?" ”

If you are like yourself, born in a slightly cold background, you will have such delicate skin like a little lady, and such a soft body? The hands...... Lin Zhaoqing touched his head, could he have seen it wrong?
