"Yes." Tao Yao packed up the chess pieces after a short time and answered.

"I went back to the Chu family to enjoy the Spring Festival banquet last time, I saw that you were in good spirits." Liu Yunjin put down the teacup, took the black first, and fell behind.

Thinking of the Spring Festival banquet at the Chu family, the corners of Tao Yao's lips couldn't help but bring a faint smile: "Yes, Master, that day, they only invited me alone." ”

Tao Yao held white chess and then lost a piece.

"Oh?" Liu Yunjin was quite surprised, but he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his lips, the people of the Chu family treated Tao Yao like this, which was not bad. But looking up, Liu Yunjin looked at the joy on Tao Yao's face and turned away, and Liu Yunjin responded, "That's good." ”

Tao Yao bit her lip slightly: "Master, do you know anything about the Chu family?" ”

Liu Yunjin thought for a moment and said, "It's also a needlework business." ”

The chess pieces in Tao Yao's hand paused, and he hesitated for a long time before falling silently, but his eyes didn't dare to look at Liu Yunjin, and he only said casually: "Master thinks, how is their family's business doing?" ”

Liu Yunjin slowly fell, and said casually: "The business is not big, and it is not ranked in the Hangzhou cloth shop." It's not small, after all, it's a time-honored brand for many years, and some old customers are there, so they won't lose money. ”

Tao Yao raised her head slightly, listening to Liu Yunjin's usual words, she didn't have too much praise or disapproval for this Chu family, it seemed that this Chu family was just an ordinary businessman's family.

"Master...... Haven't you heard of any traitors in their family? Tao Yao asked tentatively.

At this point, Liu Yunjin raised her head, her eyes wandered and looked at Tao Yao, Tao Yao came to find herself today, most of them were unable to get by, she suddenly asked about this, but it made Liu Yunjin very surprised, what kind of adulterers and criminals are there in the Chu family?

Liu Yunjin didn't know, but it was really because she had no dealings with the Chu family, and she had never paid attention to the Chu family.

However, if he doesn't know such a thing, Qiu Baoxing may know.

Liu Yunjin hesitated for a while, looked at Tao Yao and said, "I want to know?" ”

Tao Yao asked, just when she knew something, she looked up at Liu Yunjin and responded seriously: "Yes." ”

"Want to know now?" Liu Yunjin asked.

"Yes." Tao Yao's face couldn't hide a little eagerness.

Liu Yunjin nodded slightly, called the maid Zhushu, and asked her to call Steward Qiu to come over.

"It's your turn." Liu Yunjin touched the chess pieces and waited for the peach to fall.

Tao Yao came back to her senses at this time, only to feel as if she was waiting for the judgment at this time, and her heart couldn't calm down in the chess game at all, and she only lost a son indiscriminately.

Liu Yunjin looked at this stinky chess hand, and didn't say anything, only lost one piece, ate a few chess pieces, and then said slowly: "What have you heard?" ”

Tao Yao was silent: "It's just some rumors, I don't know if it's true or not, so I dared to come to inquire with the master, after all, the master is well-informed and knows many people in Hangzhou." ”

Liu Yunjin nodded: "It seems that it is a very important matter." ”

Tao Yao bit her lip and fell: "Yes." ”

Liu Yunjin didn't say much, but continued to play chess slowly with Tao Yao.

I don't know how long it took, Qiu Baoxing finally came over, he rarely came to Liu Yunjin's house after dark, and came in to see Tao Yao and Liu Yunjin playing chess on the Luohan couch in the west room, but he also knew how to avoid suspicion, only stood by the screen in the main hall to the west room, and respectfully saluted Liu Yunjin.

Liu Yunjin picked up the teacup and slowly stirred with the tea leaves, but his eyes were still staring at the chess game in front of him, but he opened his mouth to Qiu Baoxing: "How much do you know about the Chu family in Hangzhou?" ”

Qiu Baoxing has followed Liu Yunjin since the capital, and there is a tacit understanding between him, and when he saw the question, he glanced at Tao Yao on the side, and told everything he knew.

But what Qiu Baoxing said is no different from what Shaw Brothers and Chu Ping said themselves, it's just those shops and Zhuangzi on the face of the Chu family, but Qiu Baoxing knows it more carefully, but it's not what Tao Yao wants to ask.

Seeing Tao Yao's lack of interest, Liu Yunjin waved his hand, and the bamboo book understood, and led all the maids waiting in the house to retreat.

Only then did Liu Yunjin say to Qiu Baoxing: "Say something that ordinary people don't know." ”

Qiu Baoxing's eyes raised slightly, glanced at Liu Yunjin, and then glanced at Tao Yao again, and then said slowly: "The Chu family's business in Hangzhou, Tianjin, and Beijing is only a small head, and their family's business in Panyu is excellent, and the surplus can account for more than half of their family.

And their family is in Panyu, and the biggest customer is Chu's Shipping Company, the largest private shipyard in Panyu. ”

"Chu's ship?" Hearing this, even Liu Yunjin couldn't help but stop the chess pieces in his hand.

Qiu Baoxing raised his head and glanced at Liu Yunjin, bowed down and nodded: "Yes, the Chu clan ship under the hands of the crown prince Taibao and the first assistant Qin Zuoqin." ”

Liu Yunjin sneered: "It turned out to be the prince's money bag." ”

Liu Yunjin looked at Tao Yao: "This is what you want to ask?" ”

Tao Yao has never heard of these characters who are bigger than the sky, nor does she know, let alone something she can easily get involved with, all she knows is: "However, the money is not coming from the right way." What happens if it is found out? ”

Liu Yunjin looked at Tao Yao's tangled appearance, but only said lightly: "This is up to you, see what you think of this matter."

It's just that over the years, I have vaguely heard that the crown prince and Qin Zuo have written to advocate the reopening of the sea ban and the resumption of trade. ”

When Tao Yao heard this, there was finally a little light in his eyes: "Master, do you know, when will this thing be done?" ”

Liu Yunjin fumbled with the chess pieces and shook his head slowly: "Who knows?" Maybe three or five years, maybe more than ten years, but there is a chance that this thing can be done, after all, the prince doesn't want his money bag to always be filled with dirty money, so he has to wash it, right? ”

But Tao Yao still feels that this matter is very dangerous, after all, now that the emperor is alive, the prince is only the prince after all, if the prince can't succeed, or someone reports the matter to deal with the prince, then the Panyu Chu family will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

And once the Panyu Chu family was punished by the nine clans, how could the Hangzhou Chu family be alone?

"Master, what should I do?" Tao Yao still wants to hear what Liu Yunjin means.

Liu Yunjin was amused when he heard this, and glanced at Qiu Baoxing on the side with a smile: "In my opinion, it is naturally a matter of wealth and danger." There are many who have heard such things, and it is too late to rejoice, but you are good, how can you be so sorrowful? ”

Tao Yao listened to Liu Yunjin's usual words, but she frowned: "But Master, this is a matter of losing your head after all." ”

When Liu Yunjin heard this, he just nodded slowly: "I just said casually, this is your own business, you have to make your own decisions."

After all, there are two sides to everything, just see whether you think the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. ”
