Xu Man'er thought back to his childhood, when Xu Shaoyang was not called Xu Shaoyang, he didn't even have a name, when his father picked him up from the door, he had a name, Xu Shaoyang, who had experienced hunger and cold, cherished the opportunity to live again, and the work in the house was rushed to do, and those who didn't understand it also learned by heart.

At that time, the nine-story building was not what it is today, a small money village could not afford to hire too many people, Xu Shaoyang was both running the street and the counter at a young age, because he was still young, he was able to enter and exit the inner courtyard, and the Xu family sisters were also very familiar, especially her sister Xu Xian'er was very curious about business matters, and often discussed business with Xu Shaoyang.

Because it is inconvenient for her daughter's Xu Xian'er to go out, but she is very prescient about business, at that time, all the money bank loans were based on good faith, and they were convenient for acquaintances, although they were stable but could not expand more business, so she proposed a mortgage loan for everyone, this law immediately made the money bank business have a big improvement, but it also broke the rules of the money industry, and many old customers have broken off contact.

These old customers are not unable to take out the collateral, but feel disrespected, and the importance of doing business is to save face, since they don't give face, they will have no business.

Xu Shaoyang thought of a way, with years of experience accumulated in running the street, he used small loans and short-term repayment for the common people as customers, not only to ensure the recovery of costs but also to encourage the low-income class to deposit, to accumulate sand into a tower, to gather armpits into a fur to stabilize the foundation of the bank, he and Xu Xian'er inside and outside the tacit cooperation.

When everyone thought that this pair of childhood sweethearts had a lover and would eventually become married, who expected that a holy decree would kill all possibilities.

······

After Xu Man'er left, Xu Shaoyang no longer had the heart to look at the accounts, and left the account room with a heavy thought, and unconsciously came to a small building, he looked up at a window in the attic.

He couldn't forget the wedding night a few years ago, when the figure of the eldest lady was reflected in the window of the boudoir, and the Shang Gong sent by the palace was coiling up her waterfall-like green silk, which at that moment symbolized her transformation from a girl to a woman.

The window is still the same, but it is no longer a person, and the small window was pushed when he was distracted!? The familiar face came into view, and in a trance it overlapped with the face many years ago, making Xu Shaoyang blurt out: "Xian'er、、、"

Hearing the call, the beautiful face became hideous, "Xu Shaoyang, are you trying to kill our whole family!! ”

Xu Shaoyang woke up violently, and his voice trembled slightly: "Second Miss、、、"

Before leaving the pavilion, the Xu family sisters all lived here, Xu Man'er was also moved by the past to come back to see, when he saw Xu Shaoyang, he thought he was looking for him to go home, but he didn't expect to hear his sister's name from her husband's mouth.

"She is now a concubine, and calling her name is a big crime of bullying the king, if you can't control your emotions, you don't have to go to the driver." Xu Man'er came downstairs and accentuated her tone while being angry.

Xu Shaoyang had neither the panic of being broken, nor the hasty justification, as if this was a trivial matter, and turned around and left without saying a word.

Xu Man'er looked at his back and asked, "Is it always the best if you can't get it?" ”

Xu Shaoyang turned his head to look at her and asked, "Is it good if you get it?" ”

Xu Man'er smiled a little sadly, she wouldn't ask herself what she was inferior to her sister, because she didn't want to compare with the illusion that only existed in Xu Shaoyang's mind, but as a wife, she couldn't tolerate such a straightforward provocation.

"If you want my sister to be well, then from now on you will keep to yourself, and you must not forget that her husband is the supreme king."

As long as you live, you have to make way for imperial power, and even if you die, it seems inevitable that you will not be able to avoid it.

········

Yun Hao has been very depressed in the past few days, since there are dead people on the dock, he has been noisy all day long, and what is even worse is that the three rivers will order both the ships at anchor and the ships that are about to enter the port to mourn in order to comfort the spirit of the second stall Zhao boat in the sky.

As long as Yun Hao opened the door of the store, he could see the black and white mourning cloth fluttering in the wind, unspeakably unspeakable.

"What business did you choose this place for?" Su Ling dreamed that he was staring at the dock and frowned, so he was about to say something, but he didn't know if he couldn't think of the words or was really curious, so he didn't open which pot to mention.

Yun Hao's mood improved, and he said: "It seems that planting gorse or printing the doctrine is a good business, but unfortunately it's too late now, and next year I will definitely get his vote." ”

"It's okay to plant flowers and sell them, but the printed translations belong to the direct management of the government, so it's better not to make up your mind." Su Lingmeng reminded him.

The two were chatting with each other, and a fleet of boats on the river in the distance was heading unhurriedly towards the dock.

The flagship shape of the head is special, it is actually carved from the whole sorghum elm wood, the sorghum elm is called the sacred tree, one is because it grows in the deep valley that does not see the sun all year round, and the other is that the spirit beast often takes the sorghum elm as its nest, which shows that it is very spiritual.

It is precisely because of its scarcity of varieties that it is difficult to find, so the yellow stalk elm has always been sought after by the powerful, and the largest yellow stalk elm found so far was obtained by the ancestors of Qian Wanshan, thus achieving the name of the Shenmu Society.

Because the flagship is carved from a whole tree, it retains the style of many logs, and the so-called natural carving makes the whole ship have an incomparable heavenly atmosphere.

As the flagship escort, several warships had arrived at the port at this time, and before the ship could be stopped, a person flew down, and the dark red brocade robe under the armor of this person was embroidered with a carved owl pattern with silver thread, and there was only one kind of person who could use this pattern, the personal guard of the Izumo Emperor.

The eagle owl is a soaring bird of prey, with a wider field of vision because its eyes are located directly in front of its head, and its hearing is extremely acute, and it flies silently, and the prey it kills does not know what is happening until it dies.

It is precisely because of this characteristic of the eagle owl that it is very suitable for the strength needed to consolidate the imperial power, so that a pro-guard army that obeys the emperor's orders and has the privilege of killing people is born.

"Who's in charge here!" The Eagle Owl Guard Commander who spoke 'Xue Jinchuan'.

Li Xuanwu had also noticed the fleet a long time ago, and at this time, waiting on the dock, there were also the leaders of the other three stalls of the Three Rivers Society, Jiang Liu'er of Jiangtang, Li Fengbo of Hetang, and Zhang Beihai of Haitang.

Hearing Xue Jinchuan's question, Li Xuanwu stood up and saluted and replied: "The villain Li Xuanwu is in charge here. ”

The eagle owl guard held the saber at his waist, pointed to the densely hung mourning cloth on the pier, and said, "The dragon treasure ship is coming, quickly withdraw the mourning flag." ”

The people don't fight with the officials, let alone the king, Li Xuanwu can only let his subordinates remove the mourning cloth, and when it is cleaned up, the Shenlong treasure ship also sails into the port.
