Guangfu was originally an unnamed fishing village in the south of the Yangtze River, but it was a necessary place for north-south transportation. In the ninth year of Kangxi in the previous dynasty, the water was flooded here, and Emperor Kangxi was set up here

"Factory" soup kitchen, the people are grateful to the imperial court for the blessings, and they called this place at the beginning

"Guangfu". In the Tongzhi period, a dock was built here to process ships for the arsenal, and gradually the market prospered, making this area

The "vast blessed land" has become the first of the seven towns in the south of the Yangtze River. In the early autumn of the previous year, Li Shanren went to the arsenal to receive dividends, and by the way went to Guangfu to visit his friend Boss Shen, who was one of the best ship owners in Guangfu Town, but he didn't expect that when Li Shanren met Boss Shen, his father had just died, and the Shen family was close to bankruptcy.

Boss Shen, who is also a shareholder of the arsenal, is actually a member of the Kang Party, and the Wuxu Reform failed, and Boss Shen secretly sold a newly built rowing boat in the family because of the funding of the Kang Party's reform, and his old father vomited blood to death.

After Li Shanren learned about it, he immediately came to his aid and bought the ship at a high price, so that the Shen family could make a comeback, and Boss Shen took Li Shanren as his life-saving benefactor.

Li Shanren came to Shen Mansion with his family, and he didn't see him for two years, Boss Shen has become a sand boat tycoon, and he also opened a commercial bank and a silver account in Guangfu.

Boss Shen couldn't imagine that Li Shanren had also experienced such a catastrophe, and was very surprised that he could come to Guangfu with only two servants who were not familiar with waterways.

Li Shanren said with a smile: "This is thanks to Boss Shen for leaving a map of the river on the boat, this map is extremely accurate and consistent with the field, otherwise I will inevitably be like a headless fly." Only then did Boss Shen remember that he did leave a map on the boat, which was bought by Mr. Kang to give to Boss Shen when he saw that the Shen family had built this unique rocking wooden boat from Japan, which was much more detailed than the "Imperial Opinion Panorama" of the Qing Dynasty.

Boss Shen wondered, what was the intention of the Japanese to draw a map of China, and how did it come to be? It turns out that the Japanese pay much more attention to China than the Chinese pay attention to their motherland.

As early as ten years ago, after the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese pretended to be tourists and businessmen to go deep into the Chinese mainland and wander around, spending ten years to draw a huge map of China, marking the top and bottom of the big rivers, the north and south of the big rivers, the topography, geology, mineral salt, gold and other resources, and the Jiangnan River Zhitu is only a part of it.

Mr. Kang said that the neighboring countries of Dongying devoted their only financial resources to draw a map of China, and there must be ulterior motives, and 30 years later, Mr. Kang was unfortunately criticized.

Boss Shen kept this map in the cabin, which would be useful in the future, and he didn't expect it to come in handy for Li Shanren.

Li Shanren nodded yes, thanked him again, and wanted to rent Boss Shen's five buildings to live temporarily. It's really a robbery brothers, Boss Shen said, brothers in distress, what kind of rent are you talking about, and allocate five buildings under your name for Li Shanren to live in, without charging a penny.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month of the following year, Mrs. Li was 38 years old and gave birth to a boy. Li Shanren was overjoyed, and co-authored the eight characters of his birthday, and gave him a well-known name called Li Xianghai, which means that the child is auspicious and healthy, such as the sea Hongfu.

When the child was full of Zhou, he asked Niu Lao Si to take a thick peach branch, tie it with a red cloth strip, and insert it outside the street gate, which is called it

"Escape from disasters"; Then hang mascots such as onions, dates, and copper coins, and ask for wisdom and wealth to set up a family early, and all kinds of auspicious mouths.

The child is full of moon, and the full moon wine is set down, and Boss Shen and the neighbors are feasted. I also invited a young nurse and an experienced maid to help, and I was really afraid of falling in my hand for Xiao Xianghai, and I was afraid of melting in my mouth, and I was spoiled in every way.

Winter goes to spring, time flies. As the saying goes, only worry about not raising, not worrying about long, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Xianghai has turned one year old.

On that day, Mrs. Li put pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, and books on the dinner table, took off an ice jade bracelet on her wrist and made up eight things, and let Xiao Xianghai lie on the table and draw lots.

Xiao Xianghai didn't want pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and climbed to the table alone to grab the jade bracelet and didn't let go, Li Shanren was anxious when he saw it: "This kid is not worried when he grows up, and his eyes are open." Madame disagreed, and said, "What nonsense, where is this jade bracelet colored?" The ice is clear and jade, which shows that the child is smart and icy. Looking at these eight things, which one is the most expensive? Is the jade bracelet the most expensive? That's the best a child wants! Li Shanren twisted his beard and smiled: "No matter how you say it, jade bracelets are always women's objects!" But it is said that Jin Xiangyu was angry and red-faced, and after assassinating Chen Sanhu, the king of Qingfeng Zhaishan Mountain, he fled to a mountain village to live in seclusion, and secretly shot the carriage, leaving only a red-maned horse to ride, and did not dare to publicize everything, and went incognito for three years.

On that day, he went to Jeju Mansion alone, hoping to exchange the silver tickets in his hand for cash and copper coins for daily use.

The people in the poor mountains and remote areas do business with broken silver, copper coins, or barter, and do not know what the silver ticket is, if they sell the silver ticket, the person who knows it will suspect that the source is unknown, or sue the official or rob it, and the loss of money and property is small, and the disaster of imprisonment is great.

The silver tickets he stole from the Li Mansion were all official tickets of the household department, and there was no silver number in the mountains and wilderness, and to exchange the silver tickets, it would take a hundred miles to travel to the state capital.

Even if he has broken silver and copper coins, he does the daily oil, salt, firewood and rice by himself, and he does not dare to call the Zhang family to do it, for fear that the old man will inadvertently reveal his flaws.

Li Xiaoniang is a full princess who suffers her life, only knows how to be like a flower like jade, does not know firewood, rice, oil and salt, and will not help with housework, follow Jin Xiangyu to be a wild woman in a mountain village, and live a life of exile, although there is no shortage of food and clothing, but she can only hide in Tibet, and she can't help but sigh.

Jin Xiangyu swallows his anger in everything, has no quarrel with the world, as long as he makes the little lady happy, but he is also happy.

As the saying goes, a wise man must have a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and he should never have left that red-maned horse in a barren mountain village hut

How is it possible for a "poor" family to raise a tall horse? He is calculating, but the red-maned horse exposes his intended whereabouts.

On that day, he finished his errands in the state city, walked around the street, and followed the instructions of Mrs. Li to buy some pastries and silk cloth she liked.

The next morning, walked on the road for a few hours, looked at the three poles of the sun, he rode on the horse full of ambition, presumably the family has prepared delicious food, Li Xiaoniang sat and waited for her husband to come home for dinner.

Thinking all the way, the red-maned horse galloped on the rugged mountain road like an arrow, the four hooves were churning, and the long mane was flying, which was very magnificent.

At noon, I arrived at the door of my house. Jin Xiangyu rushed to push open the firewood door, and the scene inside the house made him dumbfounded
