Cheng Ziyu wanted to find a corner to stay for a while, but Wan Erye, who was not far away, saw her but took the initiative to come up and say hello.

Wan Er Ye congratulated her a few words, and said that he would send her a congratulatory gift next time.

Cheng Ziyu excused herself.

Last time, she got a jade from him for no reason, how could she accept something from him again.

"Okay, then I'll give the county lord of Jinxi a suggestion."

"Please teach Second Master Wan."

"If you want to stand firm, you must never forget who you are and where you are!"

"This ...... Ziyu understood. ”

"No, I mean, don't take sides in any situation. You are a businessman, not a ......"

Wan Mingyang looked at the sky, and then sighed.

"I hope you get it. As a businessman, if you want to be safer and more comfortable for a longer time, you must think carefully and stand in a good position, so that you can be more able to protect yourself and help more people at the same time. If you're smart, you should have something to deal with! ”

Cheng Ziyu understands this advice. He saw her situation and sweated for her. He, who was also a merchant, saw that she was walking on thin ice, and he was admonishing her in his way that she should not wade into the troubled waters of her inheritance. Let her stay where the merchant is!

He's right!

She knows it too!

It's a pity that she used blood and human life to understand this truth.

"Second master, ask for advice."

Wan Mingyang looked around and laughed in a low voice.

"The girls of the Wanjia family all marry early, so no girl in the Wanjia family has never been blessed to marry highly. Only my stupid niece, who had the opportunity to enter Beijing three years ago, met thieves on the road. The coachman was killed, and the girl was disfigured and stained with blood, and the matter was stopped......" he said with regret, but there was joy on his face.

Cheng Ziyu took a deep breath. Where are the Wanjia families unblessed, they are cautious.

The Cheng family is still like this, and the rich side of the family will naturally be favored by people. If in order to grow further, they should wish to marry their daughter in Beijing, but they are trying their best not to wade into the water. The early marriage of daughters should be just a means for them to avoid being bound by others. The so-called thieves should also be their last resort.

They are loyal to the imperial court, not a certain person or a certain force, Wan Erye is teaching her to protect herself.

"Thank you for the teachings of the second master."

"I didn't teach you anything, just small talk. However, I'm afraid that the situation is beyond your control at this moment. I hope you are auspicious! ”

"But why are you ......," Cheng Ziyu glanced at him carefully.

But the two of them are only two-sided, why should he kindly remind himself? It is not an exaggeration to say these words, what is the reason for him to admonish himself so bluntly? It can't be a good intention, right? He was a businessman, one of the most successful businessmen in the whole Great Zhou!

"I know what you're thinking. Very good! I'm not mistaken, you have the acumen and skepticism to be a good businessman. Then I'll explain a few words to myself:

First, it is indeed well-intentioned. It's not easy to see you step by step. I am also the head of the family, and I am deeply aware of the burden and pressure on you. And you are a daughter, and you are bound to face more difficulties and efforts than me. Therefore, I don't want to see you and the Cheng family fall. I did have some pity.

Second, good deeds. You've done so much and helped so many people, so you should keep doing it. This matter is your beginning, others can participate and help, but if the Cheng family has a situation, those good halls will definitely fall. That's a shame.

Thirdly, I have heard that your imagination and ability are good, and I am also somewhat interested in the pottery objects you have recently made, and I want to see if there is a chance to participate. But don't worry, my market is different from yours, and I'm all about trading. So, I sold my favor to a potential partner. ”

Second Master Wan laughed.

"Now that it's been mentioned, Miss Cheng might as well think about it. In return, I can promote some of the Cheng family's industries. You also know that people love porcelain, but they don't understand that pottery and porcelain are the same family. If I want to push, your Cheng family's future market will be different. Maybe in a few years, you won't have to be manipulated by the big week market.

In addition, Mrs. Cheng has been buying pangol from our Wanjia, so I don't need to talk about the benefits in it, right? ”

Cheng Ziyu's mouth opened several times, but she didn't know where to start.

She was shocked. He was amazed at the well-informed information of the Wan family, and he already knew about the pottery object that had just been set more than an hour ago. And he can speak out and cooperate, obviously because he has a preliminary understanding, and has made judgments and analyses, so that he can talk to himself in such a crowd.

And what she was even more surprised was that the Cheng family had the opportunity to do all kinds of business.

The reason why Tongfan is profitable is precisely because of its difficulty.

Of course, she wanted to have the opportunity to sell the Cheng family's ceramics to Da Zhou. In the past, Cheng's goods were all carried out through the hands of traders and foreigners, and the profits were not high and the quantity was not large.

If you have the help of Wanjia, you will be able to open up a huge overseas market, which you can't ask for. Who called Wanjia to have resources, connections, connections, and merchant ships in hand!

And in fact, the benefit he pointed out that the old man wanted to buy was enough to make her heart move: Fankuang!

The Great Zhou Sea sold porcelain and tea, and resold spices and ores. Especially among them, Su Ni Boqing, Zishen, Gimblestone, Wind Mill Copper, Purple Stone, Lan Sha, and Su Ma Liqing! These scarce ores are excellent colorants. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and these are indispensable ores for ceramic glaze.

The Cheng family spends a lot of manpower, material and financial resources on the purchase of these ores every year, and if there is support from 10,000 families in the future, it will not only reduce the cost, but also really solve a major difficulty for the Cheng family......

However, what Cheng Ziyu was thinking about at this moment was not this one!

What she didn't dare to think about before, she can suddenly think about now.

That's a way back!

In the troubled times of the previous dynasty, many merchants and clans of the merchants who went to Fanban in order to avoid wars and disasters, took gold and silver to withdraw from the Great Zhou by boat, and they had already purchased their own industrial land in Fanguo, and took advantage of the war in Fanguo to recuperate, buy low and sell high, and hoard capital.

Wait until the troubled times are pacified, and then return to the Great Zhou. After showing their sincerity by offering gold and silver to the new emperor and new dynasty, they continued their trading in the Great Zhou and returned to their estate......

Cheng Ziyu couldn't help but think that if there was chaos in the future, if he couldn't compete with Zhu Changan and others, maybe leaving, it would be a way out. At least it can be preserved......

Of course, this is only a worst-case scenario, but it is an arrangement that is not necessarily impossible.

And Wan Jia, after Wan Er Ye took power, focused on overseas trade, so he may not have this plan, right? Once the court changes, they still have a way to go.

"Wan has a lot of wine, and if there is any collision with nonsense, I hope the county lord will take care of it." Wan Mingyang saw that she didn't reply for a long time, so he immediately changed his head, skimmed it out, and his title to Cheng Ziyu also changed to "county lord".

"How so? Wan Er Ye is a genius, and the wine talk is also a good word, and Ziyu has benefited a lot. Thank you for your kindness and advice. Ziyu understood. After solving the immediate problem, Ziyu looks forward to the opportunity to cooperate with Wanjia. ”

"Well, when Wan passes by Jingxi again in the future, if Miss Cheng is still there, Wan will come to the door to ask for a glass of wine?"

"The Cheng family and Ziyu are waiting for the second master at any time!"

"Jiangnan Shantang is waiting for the support of the county lord, and I hope that Miss Cheng can be safe and satisfied! I hope you and I still have the opportunity to meet in Jiangnan! ”

Cheng Ziyu thanked her again, and Wan Mingyang hugged his fists and left......

Even Wan Mingyang can see that as soon as her identity changes at the moment, she has to look at the royal family, so to put it bluntly, although he has the intention of cooperating, he has no heart to talk to her in detail, just because in his opinion, she may not be able to control her own destiny.

No!

She must not become someone else's pawn, no matter whether she is the emperor and queen or which prince. Her fate can only be controlled by herself! ……

Cheng Ziyu soon saw that the Queen Mother and the Emperor were not going back to their residence, but talking in a triangular pavilion not far away. There were no servants with them, only Li Chun and Yu Gonggong were on the periphery, prohibiting anyone from approaching.

Her instincts told her that it had something to do with her.

The feast continued, and before the fireworks show began, both the Queen Mother and the Emperor returned.

Cheng Ziyu quietly glanced at Li Chun.

Li Chunwei nodded, his face was calm, the corners of his lips were relaxed, and Cheng Ziyu finally relaxed a little......

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the ceremonial officer stepped forward to congratulate the Queen Mother.

Subsequently, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor personally lit the first set of fireworks.

In an instant, golden lights burst into the night sky, and colorful and enchanting fireworks bloomed in the night, dazzling the entire sky. There are blooming flowers, shooting stars with long tails dragging by, and golden waterfalls pouring down from the sky...... The entire city of Jinling was boiling......

The Queen Mother muttered: "The last time it was so lively was when the first emperor and the mourning family were married. It's like a world away. ”

It's like a world away, Cheng Ziyu thinks so too!

It's only been a few years since she saw this firework, but it's no longer human! ……

It was lively for more than an hour, and the queen mother was a little physically exhausted, so she left the banquet first. The emperor and all the princes were very drunk, and they all left one after another. After a lot of guests dispersed, Cheng Ziyu got up and took Liu Er to change clothes.

In that empty yard, arrangements have been made.

When Cheng Ziyu came out, she had already removed her headdress jewelry, changed into the palace maid's dress, and carried some things behind the two palace maids.

There were a lot of drunken people, and there was a mess outside the second gate, and she didn't get the slightest attention when she hung her head, so she followed the flow of people out of the second gate and got into an ordinary carriage......

The hour is late, but the thousand autumns are a great joy, the night market of the whole Jinling City does not stop, the celebration is not stopped, the street is just more lively than Shangyuan, the flow of people is bursting, laughter and laughter.

Cheng Ziyu was slightly speechless, there were people coming and going here, and I didn't know where Li Chun had arranged to meet her.

The Pan family's banquet was held all night, and Cheng Ziyu's residence couldn't go, so it wouldn't work for her and Li Chun to meet and talk in the Pan family. So Li Chun had people arrange to take her out early.

The carriage entered a clean and refined house.

She was about to lift her skirt and get out of the car when she fell into an embrace, and then easily fell to the ground. Li Chun has been waiting here for a long time.

And around, not only are there no minions, but even the coachman has disappeared.

"This will be three o'clock, let's go back before the hour!" Li Chun took her.

The faint smell of wine lingered on her, but he only stared at her and smiled.

"Silly fun?"

"I'll just see whose palace maid this is, she looks so delicate and handsome, so that General Ben fell in love at first sight, and just wanted to marry home overnight!" He chuckled and spoke lightly, but his eyes, which were brighter than the fireworks above his head, spoke of affection.

"Marry overnight? Where's the dowry? Where is the sedan chair? Where is the house? ……”

"Didn't you receive the dowry early? Didn't the sedan chair just come down? Isn't this my home? You're a mere little palace maid, so it's enough pomp and circumstance, so it's hard to accept it, right? If you respond, the master will let people prepare the cave room! ”

It can be seen that he is really happy.

Cheng Ziyu's heart was not so relaxed, and she quickly straightened her color.

But he still smiled and helped her brush her hair, which was blown by the wind.

"I'm happy, Le's appearance of your palace maid is also so good-looking, Le, you thought of coming to me when you had difficulties, Le, you didn't ask anything and changed your clothes and came here, Leyou became a civil county lord who has to be mentioned in the history books today, Leyou and I don't have to hide it soon, Le......"

"Wait! It's not necessarily a good thing that I became the lord of the county, I always felt that something was wrong. I'm not ...... upset."

"I know! I know! He smiled and looked at her fixedly.

"But I've been waiting for an opportunity! You know, if you are a businesswoman, you will never be able to marry me. The emperor is suspicious, in order to protect you, I can't show that I am familiar with you, and I can't ask to marry you.

So if I'm going to marry, you'll have to find another way. The elevation of your identity is also an opportunity for us. Originally, I was thinking about how to speed up the progress of my plan, and this is just the right time! I've figured it out, don't you trust me? Everything is wrapped up in me, you listen to me, I feel that it is just a day or two of hard work, you are mine! Fair and square! ”

"Really?" In a day or two, will they be able to settle their affairs?

Cheng Ziyu was very skeptical.

"When did I lie to you?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, but the queen and the emperor are clearly ......"

Two pieces of softness pressed against her frowning eyebrows, and she couldn't say a word when she came to her lips.

He kissed her brow gently. The cool and soft lips made her feel at ease.

"Just believe me! If I'm here, I'll leave it all to me! Don't frown in the future, I love to see you laugh. He pulled her into his arms, stroked her head, and pressed her head to his chest.

Before Cheng Ziyu could react, the whole person had been hugged by him and sat down on the horse's back, he quickly turned over and got on the horse, put on a black cloak, and took her into his arms again.

"Where are you going?"

"Master is happy and wants to take you out for a walk."

"I still have something to ask you, can you just stay in this house?"

"Are you sure?" His lips came closer, and accidentally touched her earlobe, leaving a tingle. "I only have one room in this house cleaned up, and it's okay to stay, but first, do you want to talk to me at night? Or is it a candle in the cave? ”
