Sheng Jing's news arrived with Fu Jingchao's box of gifts, and Shen Xingwan took a look at some beautiful and delicate jewelry, and some interesting objects.

"Is there a girl who has a marriage contract with the prince now?" Banxia said excitedly.

Shen Xingwan let out a calm "um", theoretically yes.

Probably because Shen Xingwan was too calm, and her subordinates couldn't figure out her attitude, so they soon stopped mentioning this matter.

But this news made the Shen family very satisfied, although it was a compromise to pick Shen Xingwan, but with the blessing of the marriage contract with the prince, her value also increased.

Followed by invitations to various banquets, and the date of the genealogy that had been dragged on was also decisively set after the release of the autumn list.

Compared to these disturbances, Shen Xing's mind was on another matter.

What Fu Jingchao had promised her was finally going to be fulfilled.

Shen Xingwan still chose the location in the secret Luoxia Pavilion, and this time the table was placed in the Hundred Gardens.

Shen Xingwan sat on the second floor, looking at the beautiful scenery of the entire Hundred Gardens.

The wind was blowing, and a woman in the flowers walked slowly, with a slender waist and a skin. Approached and looked up at Shen Xingwan and smiled, bright and charming.

Shen Xingwan also smiled, the good-looking beauty was really pleasing to the eye.

The beauty quickly went up to the second floor and handed Shen Xingwan a white camellia in her hand, "First time we meet, please advise." ”

Shen Xingwan took the flower, "Girl, please take a seat." ”

The gaze was not taken back on the face of the beauty, and the beautiful forehead was delicately depicted with the pattern of "butterfly love flower", which added a bit of enchantment and delicacy to the already good-looking sight.

"Is it pretty?" The beauty smiled at her.

"It's good-looking, and the flower is not what I thought." Shen Xingwan said softly.

Hua Yan, the only one of the four wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan who is in charge of the house as a woman, controversy and ability coexist, and it is rumored that the iron and bloody wrist is not inferior to the man.

In this Jiangnan salt case, the Jiang family, the four wealthy businessmen, had already been destroyed except for one daughter, Jiang Shangmanmen, and the other two families were also more or less involved, and their vitality was greatly damaged.

Only the Hua family was alone from beginning to end, and was not involved at all.

Shen Xingwan lowered his eyes, of course, this is because the Hua family or Hua Yan is doing things for the Zhennan Palace.

Although Fu Jingchao is gone, he has not forgotten the benefits promised to lure her into the game.

Although the appearance of Huayan is unexpectedly charming and charming, she can share a piece of the Jiangnan officialdom as a woman, and she is by no means an idle person.

The means of doing things are natural and sophisticated, and he said to Shen Xingwan straight to the point, "The things promised by the prince will be fulfilled by the Hua family instead of the prince." ”

Shen Xingwan drank a glass of wine before saying, "It's not a good time to get involved in the salt matter now." ”

While the benefits are indeed tempting, this is a real plucking of the feathers.

The emperor is so happy this time, in addition to the fact that the prince is too wasteful and public opinion is also pressuring, the biggest reason is that the silver money involved in the salt market in the salt field is huge, and the emperor has always wanted to hold this piece of fat firmly in his hands.

He was ruthless and sent his own people over. At this time, if anyone has this kind of thought, it is to snatch meat from the emperor's mouth.

The smile on Hua Yan's face was a little sincere, "In the face of such a big interest temptation, the girl is sober. ”

"Silver is important, but life is even more important." Shen Xingwan smiled lightly, "The most important thing for people is to recognize the situation. ”

From the beginning, what she wanted was not a salt market soup, less meat and more wolves, and high risk.

She just wanted a chance.

Hua Yan can be regarded as having dealt with countless people, and I have to say that Shen Xingwan can climb so high in a short period of time, and there is really a reason.

Hua Yan didn't mention the plan she had prepared, but asked Shen Xingwan, "Since she is not interested in Yanshi, what is the girl interested in?" ”

In fact, even if Shen Xingwan didn't refuse today, Hua Yan would not really let her interfere in the affairs of Salt City.

Even the Hua family will not officially end up on the surface, the risk of robbing the emperor's fat is too high, the Hua family is an important part of the Zhennan Royal Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is absolutely impossible to risk accidents.

"It's the Jiangnan people who are in charge of the flowers." Shen Xingwan said with a smile, "What do you think is the most famous thing in Jiangnan?" ”

"It is said that the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are of course the most famous for water. There is also an ancient saying that relying on the mountains eats the mountains, and relying on the water to eat the water. This side of the Jiangnan has nurtured the people of Jiangnan. Hua Yan's heart moved, and she laughed, "Isn't the girl aiming to be in the sea?" ”

Jiangnan is more developed by sea than by land, and there are caravans that take huge risks to go to sea in exchange for high returns.

Shen Xingwan raised his glass to the money, "The flower master really has a delicate heart." ”

Hua Yan threw a wink at her, "That's still a girl's eyes!" ”

The two of them have a bit of a feeling of seeing each other late.

The path taken by the two is, in a sense, deviant in ancient times.

"I have a ship for the sea, but my ability is limited and it's just a small fight." Shen Xingwan explained.

Even so, her first pot of gold came from the sea. All the accumulation of capital came from her taking out the silver from her, looking for the old sailor and the helmsman, buying a small boat, starting to travel from south to north, and reselling goods.

Shen Xingwan knew that the real big cake was the caravan going to sea and foreign trade.

This is the way to make a lot of money and high returns.

But this part is now a gray area. The official court did not formally intervene except for tax collection.

Therefore, it is up to each according to his ability.

When a large fleet goes to sea, the price of shipbuilding alone is prohibitive, not to mention that there are many other things involved.

Shen Xingwan's start was too low, and it was difficult to intervene.

Both in terms of money and experience.

Hua Yan analyzed seriously, "Now the main way to go to sea is to go out with the major chambers of commerce as a team, they have the best fleet, the most experienced boatmen and helmsmen, and the best equipment, and they have an absolute advantage in this regard." ”

This also leads to the fact that this piece is controlled by the Chamber of Commerce, and it is difficult for ordinary merchants to get this piece of the pie.

The main reason is that the cost of going to sea is too high, and ordinary businessmen dare not bet.

"Are you interested?" Shen Xingwan was tentative.

Hua Yan laughed, "How can any merchant think that there is a lot of silver, of course I am interested." ”

The most important thing is that although the Hua family is also one of the four wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan, the Su businessmen in Jiangnan exclude the Hua family on the grounds that the Hua family is a woman in power, and do not take the Hua family to play.

Blatant discrimination.

The relationship between the Hua family and the Zhennan Royal Mansion cannot be easily exposed, and the Zhennan Royal Mansion will not interfere in the affairs of the Hua family at will.

So this breath, Hua Yan has been holding back.

Over the years, countless people have stared at her, as long as she takes a wrong step, she can't wait to pounce on her and eat the Hua family.

Huayan can be regarded as under pressure, and it is difficult to walk step by step.
