The boat slowly docked in the early afternoon.

Zhu Youning, Bai Ling, and Thrush rested in the cabin, and from the narrow window, you could see the bustle on the dock outside, and the noise gradually replaced the sound of the water and got closer and closer.

Zhu Youning followed behind Old Lady Zhu and left the cabin.

As soon as I arrived on the deck, I saw Miss Cheng and Cheng Gongzi coming downstairs one after another.

Behind Cheng Gongzi, there were two strong men who were tied up with five flowers, and the old lady Jiang who was gagged.

Zhu Youning was slightly relieved to see that Old Lady Jiang only had messy hair and clothes, no external injuries on her body, and her spirit was still good.

Old Lady Jiang was a little surprised when she saw Zhu Youning.

Zhu Youning gave Mrs. Jiang a reassuring look.

Cheng Gongzi brushed off the folding fan, shook it in a chic manner, and blew up the broken hair on his sideburns, "Oh, isn't this the girl of the Zhu family?" ”

Zhu Youning frowned slightly and stood in place quietly.

Cheng Gongzi didn't seem to see Old Lady Zhu, bent down slightly to look at Zhu Youning, shook his head and smacked his tongue.

"Didn't you still have someone to support you that day? Why is no one taking care of it today? Just like you, do you really think you're the best in the world? How dare you use money to slap Ben Gongzi's face? How about it, now Old Man Jiang is in my hands! Who the fuck dares to fart? Don't you have a capable backer? You let him come to the rescue! Hurry up and let him come! I'm waiting! ”

Zhu Youning's brows tightened when he listened.

Before she could speak, Miss Cheng scolded angrily: "Shut up!" You're not ashamed enough! ”

Cheng Gongzi turned around, looked at Miss Cheng with his neck stalked, and sneered: "Do you know who you are talking to?" Do you really use yourself as a dish? Old women, don't pretend to be tender, go back and think about how to get married! ”

"You ......" Miss Cheng's face flushed with anger, and she almost turned her back on it.

Cheng Gongzi sneered, shook the folding fan and turned around, "Bring that old man to me!" ”

"Yes!" The entourage and guards pushed Doctor Jiang off the boat.

Miss Cheng was humiliated in public, and her face was already red, but she still blessed Mrs. Zhu with a cold and dignified appearance: "Please also ask Mrs. Zhu not to go to your heart, don't be like a child." ”

Old Lady Zhu smiled gently and kindly: "Miss Cheng's words are serious, it's okay." ”

Miss Cheng's face turned purple eggplant skin at this time, and she hurriedly saluted and fled with the people.

Old Lady Zhu shook her head, turned to look at Zhu Youning, and saw that her expression was calm, and she had no intention of rescuing Old Lady Jiang, so she nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go." ”

"Yes." Zhu Youning obediently kept up with Old Lady Zhu's pace. But she was wondering why she didn't see Lady Rose get off the boat.

and Yan Sui Gongzi and his housekeeper entourage and others, who also did not get off the boat. Maybe I'm still packing my luggage.

Zhu Youning and his entourage followed behind Mrs. Zhu and stepped on the bumpy-shaking pedal to the dock.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue round-necked shirt with big sleeves and a net scarf coming towards him, and when he saw Mrs. Zhu, he swept the floor and said, "Uncle is well." ”

"Brother Liang is here. Please, don't be so polite. Old lady Zhu smiled and held Zhu Hualiang's arm, "We haven't seen each other for two years." You're still so chic. Is it customary to live in Hangzhou? ”

"Back to my uncle, although I am not used to it, but everything is for the sake of the family, and it is nothing to work hard." Zhu Hualiang had already noticed Zhu Youning, so he asked with a smile: "This is Fu Ya'er, right?" ”

"Yes." Old lady Zhu turned around and instructed Zhu Youning, "Why don't you give a salute to Uncle Liangtang?" ”

Zhu Youning finally remembered who this was.

Zhu Hualiang is the third son of the second old lady and Zhu Yanpeng's father, who was arranged by the old lady Zhu to manage the Zhu family's business in Hangzhou.

"Uncle Liangtang is well." Zhu Youning saluted respectfully.

Zhu Hualiang hurriedly held his hands and said approvingly: "I haven't seen you for two years, and Fu Ya'er has become a big girl." Brother Peng also praised Fu Ya'er for her excellence in the last letter, I am not in Fuyang, and Fu Ya'er will take care of you Peng Cousin more in the future. ”

"It's Cousin Peng who takes care of me a lot." Zhu Youning smiled shyly.

Zhu Hualiang smiled and praised Zhu Youning a few more words.

Old lady Zhu smiled and said, "She's a little smart. It's also an obedient child. ”

Old lady Zhu and Zhu Hualiang walked forward while talking, and Zhu Youning also led people to follow behind and listen to their greetings.

Zhu Hualiang's praise for Zhu Youning in his words was quite modest, expressing kindness without being too courteous. The conversation between him and Mrs. Zhu can always grasp Mrs. Zhu's psychology, and the old man is in a very good mood.

Zhu Youning felt that this cousin's behavior was completely different from those Zhu family members in Fuyang.

Perhaps in Fuyang, the Zhu family is the richest man, and the children of the Zhu family have a sense of superiority. But when he arrived in Hangzhou, if he wanted to do a good job, it would not work just to rely on his prestige, so he chose a sleek person like Uncle Liangtang to manage the Zhu family's industry in Hangzhou.

The group boarded the carriage and went all the way to the Zhu family's house in Hangzhou.

The house is a courtyard with a big three, Zhu Youning followed Mrs. Zhu to get out of the car, and saw a woman standing in front of the mansion wearing a light green gown, looking like a woman in her prime, her lower abdomen was slightly bulging, obviously pregnant.

"Sir, you're back." The heroine stepped forward to salute.

Zhu Hualiang bowed lightly and said casually: "This is the Cao family." ”

Zhu Youning had met Zhu Yanpeng's biological mother. Thinking about it, this Cao family should have been newly bought by Zhu Hualiang in Hangzhou.

"Uncle, there are still nine days before the Imperial Business Conference, so you can rest today. Tomorrow, let's go out for a walk. Zhu Hualiang followed and spoke respectfully beside Old Lady Zhu.

Cao Shi held his waist and took the initiative to greet Zhu Youning: "You are Miss Nine, right?" I didn't expect to be so cute. ”

Zhu Youning smiled, and didn't know how to call Cao's for a while, and didn't know whether she was lifting her aunt now, so she hesitated and reported before saying, "Aunt Cao is good." ”

Cao smiled sweetly and said, "Don't dare to be, please rest inside." ”

Zhu Hualiang and a concubine live in such a huge mansion, which is really a little empty, Zhu Youning is placed in the guest house, and the old lady Zhu lives in the main courtyard.

When the wind was picked up that day, Zhu Hualiang once again showed his tactfulness, and after dinner, he went to discuss business in Hangzhou with Mrs. Zhu.

Zhu Youning returned to the guest house to rest.

From the next day, Zhu Youning took his maidservants and entourage out to see Jing'er, ate all the food, and observed the cloth and money industry in the city. I found that there was no business model of Chang'an Qianzhuang here, and I was a little relieved.

The idea of opening a branch of Chang'an Qianzhuang to Hangzhou is also gradually taking shape in my mind.

In the blink of an eye, it is July 20, the first day of the Imperial Merchant Conference.
