Located in the most prosperous area of Ping An Street, it looks quaint and magnificent from the outside, but if the door opens in front of you, the scene inside will make you feel like you are in a foreign country.

This house is the old residence of the Du family, the richest man in Lincheng, if you want to say that the Du family is not ordinary, count up along the last page of the family tree, there are dozens of famous and famous in the past dynasties. According to legend, the Du family was originally an official for generations, and there were also great officials such as Taiwei, after the family declined, the Du family abandoned the official business, but did not expect to slowly become a Jiangnan giant, "emperor" has not been abolished, the old lady of the Du family is still the emperor's most trusted imperial businessman, in charge of the salt transportation of the six rivers, and the scope of business involves cloth, grain and rice, weapons and wine.

After the old dynasty was destroyed, the imperial merchant Du family declined for a while.

I thought that this glorious family for hundreds of years was going to disappear, and no one thought that there would be a business wizard among the descendants of the Du family, named Du Shiling, whose business acumen far surpassed the old lady of the Du family, and the young master, who had studied in a private school since he was a child, proposed to study abroad at the age of fifteen. After four years of wandering abroad alone, he returned to China and began to lead the Du family to do business with foreigners.

In this era when foreigners are bigger than the sky, Du Shiling is the only one who can make a lot of money from foreigners. In this troubled world, all the old aristocratic and rich people can't escape the fate of decline and depression, only the Du family is still the richest man in Lincheng by doing overseas business, and the silver dollars in the family can fill a whole Qinyang River, and the overseas business of the entire Lincheng is pinched under his hands, and even the general manager of Lincheng Bank has to respectfully hand over a cigar when he sees him, and then shout Du Ye.

The wealth of the Du family is unimaginable, but when the people of Lincheng mentioned the Du family, they all had strange and dissatisfied expressions.

After all, the Du family is not only rich, but also stingy.

To what extent are you stingy?

Other rich people can always throw the leftovers they can't eat in the corner and leave them to the beggars, but the Du family has never been able to get in or out, let alone leftovers, and they have never given even a sip of water.

When a beggar sees a rich man and says two good words, he can get at least a silver quill, but if he meets Du Shiling, even if his mouth is worn out, he doesn't want to get a penny from his pocket.

The head of the Du family is like this, and the slaves of the Du family are also like this.

Whether it is in the city or in the countryside, no one wants to go to Du's house to do a small business.

If it weren't for the recent wars, things really couldn't be sold, and everyone could only wait at the back door of Du's house, letting his guys bargain.

This morning, the fish that Du San bought was quickly chopped into several parts, made into a fish head pot and sweet and sour fish, and sent to the table along with a few vegetarian dishes that warmed the stomach and strengthened the spleen.

The master wakes up at six o'clock in the morning, and at half past five the maid has to prepare the clothes that the master will wear today.

Du San was already guarding the door, and when he heard footsteps in the bedroom, he immediately knocked on the door and went in.

"Master, what's the plan for this morning?"

Du San is also surnamed Du, and when the old lady was alive, he raised a lot of house slaves with surnames, and since then these house slaves have served the Du family from generation to generation.

Du San is the last maid surnamed Du in the house, and he also has some right to speak in front of Du Shiling.

The man who had just gotten up responded lightly, a pure black sleepiness was loosely draped on his body, his figure was thin but straight and straight, his freshly trimmed hair was slightly messy, and under the broken hair was a fair and delicate face, with thin eyelids slightly drooping, and soft and long eyelashes, covering most of his cold eyes.

The man looked very young, but he looked like he was twenty-one or twelve.

But everyone in the city knows that the head of the Du family is nearly thirty years old, and there is a black heart of a profiteer hidden under his white skin.

Du San followed behind him, clearly talking about the things he purchased and the money he spent this morning.

"I bought more than 300 catties of vegetables and more than 50 catties of meat up and down, and spent a total of two silver dollars and one hundred and forty silver quills."

Du Shiling nodded, and after washing, she strode to the window and picked up the coffee brewed in advance.

His room is the most classical master room, but the ornaments in it are more Western-style, the gray carpet under his feet, the Simmons mattress imported from abroad, the tulip-shaped table lamp next to the bed, and the black and white chandelier with a great sense of design overhead.

Du Shiling spends his own money without mercy, and every object in the house is made by famous designers, even the coffee cup he is holding now is imported from Italy, which is expensive.

There was a white round table in front of the spacious and bright window, the coffee on the table quietly exuded heat, and when Du Shiling's cup of coffee was finished, Du San beckoned the people outside to bring breakfast in.

In front of him is a small porcelain white cup, the fish soup inside is pure and bright milky white, and as soon as the lid is lifted, it is fragrant.

Taking advantage of breakfast, Du San unfolded today's newspaper and handed it to him.

After eating, Du Shiling changed into a black shirt with white suit pants, the maid behind him put a gray vest on him, and Du San opened the drawer on the side, which was full of expensive pocket watches with glittering gold.

He carefully dragged a piece, turned around and put it in Du Shiling's pocket, the rose gold bracelet hanging from the man's chest, and the high-quality suit glowed with a light coldness.

A white suit was put on the body, lining the man's waist and back, and finally a black windbreaker was put on to resist the cold wind outside the door.

"Prepare the car."

The driver was already waiting at the door, and he hurried forward when Du Shiling came out.

"Boss, the front door is frozen, the wheels keep slipping, I can't help but park the car at the back door."

"Well, it's fine."

Du Shiling rarely walks through the back door, because it takes seven or eight minutes to walk from the master room to the back door at the earliest, which is too wasteful of time.

Because the boss is tall and big, the driver can only trot behind him, and when he arrives at the back door, the maid who guards the door quickly pushes the door open, and respectfully says to Du Shiling.

"Hello master."

"Well, hello."

Du Shiling, who came back from abroad, has the temperament of a noble son, Sven and elegant, no matter how outsiders look at it, this young and polite man is the head of the Du family.

As long as it doesn't involve money, Du Shiling will behave very gently, and the servants who don't have much contact with him will silently congratulate themselves in their hearts that they have found a good master.

The black car stopped at the door, the driver stepped forward to open the door, Du Shiling was just about to lift his foot and step on it, when suddenly his toes felt an extraordinarily soft touch.

He looked down and saw a white cat lying at his feet.

The man twisted his eyebrows, twisted his leather shoes slightly, and lifted his feet to get into the car after bypassing the white cat.
