Chapter 84: The Salt Merchant

Some of the crowd began to laugh with a hint of color, and others snickered along with them.

But they still didn't dare to let go of laughing, after all, they didn't know what kind of temper the eighth master was, and they all kept the rules. This year, it was also the first time for them to enter Beijing collectively, and it was the first time for them to meet the eighth and ninth masters collectively like this.

In the past, Lao Jiu asked them to go to the Ninth Master's Mansion to meet, and some of them had never seen the Eighth Master at all. Although they know that the biggest master is actually the eighth master, not the ninth master. Because this ninth master is a loyal eighth master party.

"You all report to your own home and give me mystards." The ninth master said, "My starling brother is the most humble and approachable to others. Come to him today, too, and know with open hearts who you will be loyal to in the future. ”

The eighth master sat on the top, his face was gentle, and he exuded an aura of royal relatives and nobles, but it was not the kind of cold and rejecting people thousands of miles away, which made people want to get closer, but with a little timidity.

After listening to the words of the Ninth Master, they looked left and right one by one, and no one seemed to dare to stand up first.

"Ahem, what's wrong with all of you, but I still want my starling brother to get to know you one by one! Damn, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to your master! Seeing this, the ninth master reprimanded loudly.

After listening to Lao Jiu's words, one of the middle-aged men, who was a little fatter, stood up first, stepped forward in a few steps, and knelt down with a puff.

The fourth master and the thirteenth master, who were hiding in the window, heard such a conversation, and they all glanced at each other, and they all understood where Lao Jiu's hand had reached. These people are actually local salt lords, and their annual income is only worth a prefect. The salt of the Qing Dynasty was mainly operated and governed by the government, and some places also had private salt, but that also had to be approved by the government. These people here now are all Lao Jiu's tentacles. The private salt he sold was only cheaper than the salt of the government, so he occupied various places for a long time, and the amount of silver he collected was a very large amount.

"Tonglu Gao Bao just gave the eighth and ninth masters a greeting!" He prostrate on the ground and kowtow to the ninth and eighth masters.

Bang bang bang! The three rings are genuine. These people are usually divided from each other, have their own ways, and they also know each other. They all understood that they were able to sell salt in their own way, and it was all dependent on the two princes who were now sitting high at the top.

The Ninth Master beckoned to him with great satisfaction: "Okay, Gao Baogang, you can get up." ”

When the others saw him start, they all stood up one after another, lined up one by one, and they all came to kowtow to the eighth and ninth masters.

I saw that the eighth master was wearing a stone blue dragon embroidered python robe, and the ninth master was also wearing an indigo blue dragon embroidered python robe.

When the two people hiding in the room heard this, Thirteen showed a trace of indignation, lowered his voice and said to the fourth master: "The two of them, what a big show!" ”

The fourth master hurriedly raised his fingers and made a silent gesture.

"Everybody, get up. Today, Lao Jiu arranged this banquet for everyone to meet Ben Baylor. I am a believer in Buddhism, but when I saw you today, I made an exception and drank it. Come, all toast! The eighth master picked up a wine glass on the table and said.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank.

"Don't just drink, the song and dance will start!" Lao Jiu suddenly waved his hand and glanced at the minion standing aside.

The people in the seat became active one by one, and they began to greet the eighth master alone with their wine glasses, and reported their scenery to the eighth master, and even invited the eighth master to visit the local area.

The eight masters catered to them one by one, and they were really as humble as the rumors. The ninth master began to drink wildly, he usually likes to drink, and at this moment, he is even more sexual, pulling these salt merchants to drink violently.

The two brothers who were hiding under the window in the room listened to the movement outside, and Thirteen couldn't hold it back. He clenched his fists and winked at the fourth master, but the fourth master kept pressing his shoulder with his hand to calm him down.

The wine was drunk, and the girls in the Qinglou who were invited by the ninth master also appeared one by one. According to the instructions of the Ninth Master, they sat beside these salt lords one by one to serve. Although these people have seen a lot of stunning beauties on weekdays, but here is the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the beauties on their bodies are full of charms, which makes them so tempted that they can't wait to hug the beauties and kiss them a few mouthfuls immediately, but after all, because the ninth and eighth masters are here, they still don't dare to make a mistake.

"Xu Jingshan, come here, my starling brother has something to say to you!" The Ninth Master walked to a table, grabbed a man's collar, and pulled him out of Meiji's side.

Before Xu Jingshan made his fortune, he was just a local gangster, and when he learned that his younger sister had entered the mansion of the ninth master as a concubine, he tried to come to the capital to meet this sister who had never met at all, and cried to her that his livelihood was difficult, and asked his sister to help him or two.

The Xu family was also favored by the ninth master in the ninth master's back house, so he recommended this cousin to the ninth master. The ninth master saw that he was a smooth person, a flexible mind, and a businessman, so he arranged him to the local area step by step to operate salt for himself.

Xu Jingshan followed the ninth master to the eighth master and talked to him. The others were already drunk at the moment, hugging the beautiful women around them and whispering. The singing and dancing were going on as usual, and the whole banquet was buzzing, and nothing could be heard.

The fourth master looked up, and through a gap in the window, he just saw that the eighth master was talking to a man. The fourth master wanted to listen, but he couldn't hear clearly.

At that time, Fu Jin waited until noon, and sent someone to invite the fourth master, but the fourth master did not come back. Fu Jin was so angry that she couldn't eat alone, she was afraid that the Li family would escape this one, and she looked forward to the fourth master coming back as soon as possible and tearing the true face of the Li family.

Over there, Xijun was served by a few maids, and after finishing the meal, she left Qingqi alone, and the others went out. It turned out that after Qingqi sent Xiqin back, he made up a reason to stay in the house for two days, and then returned to Xijun's side.

"Gege!" Qingqi said, she understood that Xijun was going to ask her about sending Xiqin back.

"Qingqi, Ama and Eniang are all right?" Xi Jun held a cup of hot tea, picked up the lid of the tea with her hand, and paused.

"The lord and the lady are fine. Just worried about Gege. Qingqi replied truthfully.

"Yes. What I asked you to do, can you get it done? "Xi Jun is back to preaching," did Dr. Chen say anything? ”

"Gege, Doctor Chen gave the slave a prescription. He said leave it to you, and you will surely understand. "Qingqi Dao.
