He didn't have a grudge against Madame Pearl, on the contrary, he was full of gratitude, far more than his own parents, without her, he was still the poor, ridiculous and insulted blue-eyed little bastard, and not the little eleventh master that everyone respected. But maybe it's because he knows that he won't live long, so he really wants to live in the Three Lions Hall, even if he dies the next day, this life is complete for Nanquan, whose surname is Bai.

Xia Qiao was born in an internal prison, and he was dying after being tied up for a few days with fine skin and tender meat, and he didn't even need to do more, just need to find him two days later. Bai Lin led people back from Changwei Island, saying that they searched all over the island and did not see the figure of Lord Xia.

Madame Pearl is really anxious, Li Chun is fresh game in her opinion, and it is good to taste it occasionally, Xia Qiao and her relationship is not ordinary. Now she deeply regrets that she shouldn't anger Li Chun, she is looking for Mrs. Seven, and she must contact Li Chun to get Xia Qiao's accurate whereabouts.

The news from Li Chun is still: I'll throw people on Changwei Island. Do you want me to tell a lie? Maybe he rolled himself into the sea.

Bai Lin comforted Madame Pearl, took more people to Changwei Island again, carefully did not let go of every crack in the stone, and finally found Xia Qiao, who was dead. Xia Qiao's body was stuck in the gap between the two stones, still tied up, and the body had begun to swell in the hot temperature, which was miserable.

Hearing the bad news, the legendary woman Lady Pearl fainted on the spot. Xia Qiao is the internal eunuch, and Mrs. Pearl went to the capital in person, and with the approval of Zheng Quan, the chief eunuch of the celebrant and the chief eunuch, she got the right to dispose of Xia Qiao's ashes. Bai Lin naturally accompanied Madame Pearl into Beijing.

In Bai Lin in the capital, there are still some things to do. When Mrs. Pearl was accompanied by her old friend King Kangjun to relieve her grief, Feng Jinshan of Songning Mansion Tongfa Commercial Bank, Fangjia of Jingcheng Qizhen Pavilion, and Boss Zhu of Sihai Commercial Bank all quietly set off for Nanquan.

Bai Qi finally caught Li Chun, since this guy's mother-in-law arrived by his side, he was simply not ashamed, sticking to his mother-in-law day and night, completely ignoring the melancholy and hunger of the other bachelors on the island. Bai Qi spread out the list: "Li Chun, who do you say we give the big head?" "Whoever you give a large share also means who you are looking for as a backer, at least you must have the ability to compete with the Three Lions.

Li Chun touched the short hair stubble on his head: "Aren't you arranging everything that uses your brain?" Ask me what to do. Well, Feng Jinshan was kind to me in the past, especially the two brothers took care of Xiaozhi in the past few years, and now they take care of him more. How about you tell Feng Jinshan to stop eating jewelry and spices and change to a specialty seller of Fran machine groceries. ”

Spices are naturally the treasure Zhai Ping Jiuye continues to have priority, and the Bai family's Shuangyutang only gets one percent of the goods, and also throws out three layers to balance the market. In the past, the Bai Family Jinxiutang, which had absolute power over the South Sea pearls, was defeated by the Treasure Pavilion, which from now on had the right of first refusal to select South Sea pearls and ruby sapphires.

The backers behind the Treasure Pavilion are the three princes and Miao Guifei, and Boss Fang is rich and wealthy, not afraid of people and things. The Four Seas Trading House ate ebony sandalwood.

Ebony sandalwood is also a specialty of Annam, the king of Yunnan from the land in the previous dynasty hit Annam, and when he returned to the dynasty in victory, he cut down more than 100 ebony sandalwood trees that were held by more than one person, and he made private property, paid tribute, and bribed other dignitaries. As a result, the ebony sandalwood forests of Annam now have empty stubble like shaved heads.

Feng Jinshan is an authentic grass people, he was taught a lesson in the very beginning, just caught the line of the Nanquan Bai family, he didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick and tried to snatch food from the mouth of Zhenbao Zhai, and he almost lost money in Zhang Tong's dowry of the second lady. If it hadn't happened that Li Chun came back and asked Zhenbao Zhai to give him some pearls, maybe he would have rolled back to Huashi County with a cover.

So now he is very content, very grateful. Grabbing Bai Qi's hand, which was much younger than himself, he kept calling the master, Feng Jinshan's commendable point is that the rich and powerful are the masters, which he has always known neatly.

Every year, a boatload of foreign gadgets of the Fran machine came to Luzon, the original intention was to enrich the lives of the Fran machine nobles and men who were far away from home, and the governor of Luzon, Andres, saw that Li Chun liked it very much, so he said that he would keep it for him in the future. At that time, Li Chun was purely picking toys for willow branches. These things are basically music boxes, small jewelry boxes painted with gold and colored white porcelain, small porcelain figures with Western shapes, porcelain cats and dogs that can sing and move, colored glasses, mercury mirrors, crystal lenses, and Fran armillary spheres are actually globes, clairvoyance, and so on.

Some of them are not only toys for women and children, but also quite useful tools, and they are very famous in the Ministry of Industry. Most of these things are not valuables, but they are novelty and do not worry about sales, so the profit margin is huge. But these objects are many and miscellaneous, and they are not matched, and predators like Ping Jiuye, Fang Liuye, and Zhu Baye will not look sideways for these minced meat. Feng Jinshan earns this money very safely.

Andrés also told Li Chun that it would be best to exchange it for beautiful chintz and silk. Songning Mansion is a big weaving province, and Feng Jinshan is happy to see his teeth and eyes, and he keeps secretly admiring in his heart how he is so witty and discerning, and he was willing to help Li Chun, especially his eldest sister. This reward is tsk, and in the future, he must insist on doing a good deed every day.

Feng Jinshan didn't see Li Chun or Bai Lin during his trip to Nanquan, and he was quite interested in not going to find his sister Feng Jiaojiao, he only signed a detailed contract with Bai Qi, paid the fixed silver, and went back quite satisfied. His interest in this kind of knowledge is also rare.

In this way, under the collusion of Bai Lin inside and Swallow Island outside, the Three Lions Hall gradually lost its right to speak. However, Mrs. Pearl has been in business for many years, and the Bai family's century-old foundation can not fall overnight.

Li Chun usually doesn't deal with Bai Lin, and it is Bai Qi who deals with Bai Lin and secretly deals with various business matters. Just look at the name, you can know that Bai Qi and Bai Lin are of the same generation, and the outer room of Bai Qiye, who once didn't know which tablet was on, is now infinitely beautiful. Li Chun was responsible for the security of Swallow Island, and he was training a musket team that was not so skilled and well-equipped.

Although he knew that this guy was a grasshopper on a rope, but because of Feng Jiaojiao, Li Chun always had a little bit of a diaphragm against Bai Lin, but fortunately, their daily activities did not intersect at all, and they also avoided looking at each other.

Now that Li Chun saw that Bai Lin didn't speak, he only stared at himself intently, without blinking his eyes, he couldn't help but be creepy: "What do you want to do with cat eyes?" Lao Tzu has no interest in men. ”

Bai Lin had indeed been distracted just now, and he imagined in his mind that the noble and arrogant Yan Hou was also sitting on his table like this, leaning over to talk to himself, thinking about it, he almost laughed out loud. Coming back to his senses, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm really curious how people like you can survive until now. ”

Li Chun was a little impatient: "It's your business." ”

Bai Lin asked again: "Li Chun, I remember that you are fatherless and motherless, right?" Do you remember how old you were when you became an orphan? Do you really have no memory of your biological parents? ”

"Cat's eyes, what are you doing so much crooked? There are a few parents floating on the sea, Zhang San and Li Si are all singles with six dead parents, what's wrong? You're not much better than those of us who don't have parents. "Li Chun is not angry. He's going to yawn. But Willow Branch is here for real this time, and it is not something that can be coaxed back with one or two sweet words.

"Mao'er eyes, you still owe me a favor, always remember" Li Chun said, "You give the child to Jiaojiao, and I will carry it for you to the end." ”

At the beginning of Xia Qiao's death, Bai Lin pushed the boat to Li Chun's head. Li Chun never admitted it, but he never denied it. But he didn't care about one more charge on his head.
