CHAPTER XIX

When Wang Muran heard the first sentence of Shang Yuyue's words, his expression softened, and when he heard the latter sentence, his face darkened again, what did the girl's family say?

was about to reprimand, but he couldn't bear it, almost forgetting that he was still the housekeeper of her family, and then chewed her words carefully, yes, people just said a word of impatience, and didn't say anything inappropriate, even if he took out his brother's posture, he didn't know how to reprimand.

Seeing that he choked, Shang Yuyue raised her eyebrows, put the child in the cradle, and left.

Looking at her brisk back, Wang Muran sighed lowly, "I don't know what ...... in the future."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yan clenched his hand, and she said, "Yes." ”

Wang Muran hugged Lu Yan and did not speak.

"Are we leaving?"

"Shang Jinyan has returned, I have already told him, and I will leave tonight."

Lu Yan was taken aback, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Wang Muran narrowed his eyes and looked at the dark night, "My father wrote that my mother had already done it. ”

Lu Yan bit his lip and asked him, "Please ...... her We're gone, what will she do? ”

Wang Muran's expression softened, "She has a little friendship with Tang Ning, the new owner of Mingyue Tower, those four secret guards should be the people Tang Ning gave her, and with the people of Mingyue Tower to protect her, please Yue will be fine." ”

A month ago, he knew that the four people were from Mingyue Tower, so he set out to find out the new owner of Yuelou, and after checking for nearly a month, he found out that the new owner was actually the daughter of the Tang family who had been in Bird Hutong for a month, Tang Ning!

He heard those secret guards call her the master that night, so he guessed that maybe Tang Ning gave the secret guard to Shang Yuyue, although he didn't know why Tang Ning gave Shang Yuyue such a big face, you know, the previous deputy landlord set a high value for a secret guard.

A dark guard for a thousand taels of gold!

Tang Ning gave four thousand taels of gold to Shang Yuyue for nothing.

What's more, if he guessed correctly, those four Dark Guards were more than one level higher than the fifty Dark Guards he had bought.

Shang Yuyue only knew about Shang Jinyan's return on the second day, and he went straight into Shang Jinyan's courtyard before breakfast.

"Daddy......"

As soon as he entered the courtyard and saw Shang Jinyan, Shang Yuyue was distressed.

Shang Jinyan left home for Liuzhou since the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was two months before he returned home.

Now Shang Jinyan has lost his slightly bulging belly, the whole person is so thin that he can't speak, and the tiredness on his face is hidden when he sees her, he beckoned, "Ning Bao'er, come here." ”

Shang Yuyue sat beside Shang Jinyan and said distressedly: "Daddy, what happened, why did you lose weight like this?" ”

Shang Jinyan grinned, "Daddy is deliberately thin, do you think it's Yushu in the wind now, handsome and extraordinary?" ”

Shang Jinyan was already handsome, and his posture was even more magnificent, and now he has lost that big belly, which is indeed handsome and extraordinary, but such thinness is definitely not intentional in his mouth, otherwise, why is there a trace of sadness hidden between his eyebrows?

"Daddy, my daughter is not young, why do you have to hide it from me?"

Seeing that Shang was not speaking, Shang Yue was anxious, "Daddy, is there something wrong with your body?" ”

Before Shang Jinyan could speak, Shang Yuyue had already gotten up and said hurriedly: "Nian Nu, Nian Nu quickly show my father ......"

"Ning Bao'er." Shang Jinyan was helpless, but he smiled happily, "Daddy is fine." ”

Shang Yuyue looked at him.

Shang Jinyan knew that if he didn't tell her, this girl would not be at ease, so he told him about the past two months.

Originally, this year's rainy season is frequent, the traffic arteries of several state cities around Ningcheng are blocked by the collapsed mountain, because the collapse is serious, the local government can not rush to repair, and encounter the heavy rain for several days, the mountain collapses, the officials and personnel in various places have been killed and injured, and the people in some places also die, it is the autumn harvest season, so the heavy rain for months has caused the fertile fields everywhere to be flooded, and the people have not received a grain of rice, among which the most serious in Lanzhou.

As early as when the heavy rain became more and more serious, Shang Jinyan received a large amount of rice grain from Beijing, Manchuria, Jinzhou and Jinzhou, he was a well-known rice merchant in Ningcheng, and it was normal to collect rice grain, but with the surge of rain, many businessmen saw business opportunities.

The cities around Ningcheng, the most affected by the rain are Lanzhou, Xiangcheng, Luozhou, Linxian and Luzhou, these state cities are all rich places in the land of fish and rice, and now in the rain disaster, it is the time for profiteers to make a fortune.

Coincidentally, the number one person among these profiteers is Jia Song, the other richest man in Ningcheng.

Shang Jinyan said that part of the rice and grain purchased before was stored in Ningcheng, and the rest was stored in Liuzhou.

Liuzhou was originally the place where Shang Yueyue's maternal ancestor lived, and Shang Jinyan said that in addition to operating the name of the richest man in Ningcheng in Ningcheng, he also ran a lot of world in Liuzhou.

He had already received the news that Chen Shaoyou was about to take office in Liuzhou after the New Year, and thinking about his daughter's thoughts, he intended to focus on the development of Liuzhou, so he thought about expanding Liuzhou's business a little more, so he collected countless rice grains in other towns and stored them in Liuzhou.

Shang Jinyan is not the kind of profiteer who makes money from natural disasters, but he also has his own little Jiujiu, seeing that this year's rainy season is different from the past, he thinks about those grains in Liuzhou, and sells them at market prices for disaster relief in the government, hoping to make a lot of money at that time, which can be regarded as making a lot of achievements in Liuzhou, which will help him stabilize his position in Liuzhou in the future.

But who knew that the heavy rain blocked all the transportation arteries in Liuzhou, and the only way to transport grain was the Su Canal Road, that is, the waterway.

The Su Canal runs through ten state cities, and the above severely affected state cities can use the Su Canal to transport goods and grain.

But Huaguo is very strict with the waterway, to cross the waterway, there must be a state decree, originally as long as the formalities are complete, the state government's decree is not difficult to do, but unfortunately, just more than a month ago, Jia Song's second son Jia Ye hurriedly married the daughter of Zhao Xiaoyi, the prefect of Ningcheng.

Now, the Jia family deliberately prevents Shang Jinyan from taking the waterway, in order to suppress the merchants whose strength is already above the Song family.

The two families of Jia and Zhao were married, and Jia Song deliberately prevented Shang Jinyan's grain from going through the waterway, and it was expected that Shang Jinyan could not get the order of the Ningcheng government.

And Tao Zhengyuan, the prefect of Liuzhou, and Zhao Xiaoyi, the prefect of Ningcheng, are brothers-in-law, there is no doubt that the government order of Ningcheng did not get it, and the government order of Liuzhou did not have it.

Shang Jinyan visited many ways, but all the land routes are still being repaired, and he himself spent a lot of money to find people to repair a lot of roads, but the rain was too fierce, this side was repaired, and that side collapsed, coupled with landslides from time to time, no one dared to repair the road.

Therefore, although Shang Jinyan's granaries were piled up, none of them could be transported out of Ningcheng and Liuzhou.
