Chapter 196: Xishan Cement Business

Xing Zhong and his wife interrogated Xing Xiuyan for a long time, but Li Weijian was only a newcomer for two days, no matter how whimsical and merely two days he lived, and his daughter was not a fairy, how could he climb Li Langzhong?

When I heard that it was only a two-sided relationship, and that the sausage was just used to exchange for yellow eel, Xing Zhong and his wife were unwilling, and closed the door for a long time. But where did the two of them get their wisdom? That Li Langzhong was well-guarded, and ordinary people couldn't wait to get close, because the two of them could only sigh, and there was nothing to do for a while.

But he said that Bitong had sent the sausage, and turned back to the small courtyard in the east, Xiu Ying only skimmed the question, and then stopped mentioning it. This simple girl knows in her heart that she is just a wild girl in the countryside, and if she can climb a figure like the fourth master, she is already an ancestor who burns high incense.

Because Xiuying can be a concubine, she is already satisfied, but as for Li Weijian's close relationship with the girl next to her, she is too lazy to care.

In the evening of that day, Zhuang Yougong sent his entourage to deliver a directory.

In the land of Jiangnan anointed, the family does not count. In addition to the four major families in Jinling and the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou, there are still twelve surnames in Jiangnan.

Li Weijian had no intention of going too deep with the four masters, nor did he want to have anything to do with the unlucky salt merchant sooner or later, so there were only twelve surnames left who could cooperate.

What are the 12 surnames? Gu, Lu, Zhu, Zhang, Shen, Wu, Zhou, Xu, Jin, Qian, Shi, Jiang. These twelve surnames can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period at the earliest, and the most recent is the rise of Wuhu Chaohua.

After a thousand years, these twelve surnames have married each other, branched out, and the children of the next generation are not counted, and the rich ones naturally cannot escape the twelve surnames.

It took Li Weijian two days to read the list, and those who have a small family asset are not counted, but there are more than 100 large landlords and big weaving owners.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Su Song was known as paying half the world, and in this great Shun Dynasty, because of the opening of Shanghai County, Jiangnan taxes were half the world, and Su Song's taxes were half of the world. It is conceivable that this Su Song is rich.

The entire Dashun has 1.4 billion taels of silver, and it is estimated that at least 20% of it is hidden in this Susong Mansion.

Looking at the list, Li Weijian has a bottom in his heart, and he expects that this time with the cooperation of Zhuang Yougong, this cement business should be unhindered.

On the third day, Li Weijian suddenly remembered that Kunshan was near Suzhou, and Xiangling's house was near Gusu...... Earlier, I thought about it, and I always had to untie the knot in the hearts of these two girls, and now I am borrowing to live in Panxiang Temple, I am afraid that I will not leave lightly in January or February, why not take advantage of this to do these two things?

It just so happened that Wu Haining had finished his errand on this day, and Lezizi went to Depanxiang Temple to report to Li Weijian.

I heard this kid preach a lot, only said that the people who were watching in the past few days can be described as an endless stream, a sea of people, in order to find out the details of the pot camel machine, a rich man from Wu County also invited him to the restaurant to have a banquet.

Seeing that the pot camel machine can burn anything, it has been running for three days in a row, or the textile machine has broken down and stopped for a while, where can the weaving owners in Suzhou still sit still? After listening clearly, this pot camel engine was made by the Jingshi Steam Engine Factory, and immediately sent the children of the family to the north of the Beijing Division, always to set the machine in front.

If you are preempted by your peers, you are afraid that your own weaving yard will be squeezed to death!

In addition, many rich people stuffed Wu Haining with money, and there was one meaning in and out of the words, to hear where Li Weijian, the god of wealth, was.

Wu Haining is still strict-mouthed, and he has never spit out, but he can't help but find clues from someone with a heart. Because the incense of Panxiang Temple was at its peak in the past two days, the big family first sent someone to send a letter of worship to inquire when Li Langzhong would be empty; The ordinary rich family didn't have so many scruples, and directly entered the Panxiang Temple in the name of incense, and if he didn't see Li Weijian, he should pay tribute to the Buddha, if he did...... That's the blessing of the Buddha.

Li Weijian just bowed his head slightly, this errand can be done by anyone, and he can't show his ability. Without waiting for him to speak, Xiu Ying, who was accompanying her, frowned: "Someone invited you to have a drink?" Could it be that you are eating flower wine? ”

Wu Haining shrank his neck: "It's nothing!" Sister, you can't defile people out of thin air. ”

"Phew! Where did you get your innocence? Collect the door bag and hand it over, the fault is not for the master's sake, which member will know you? Will you give you a door bag again? ”

"This ......" Wu Haining looked at Li Weijian as if asking for help.

Xiu Ying hurriedly said: "Master, you can't let him." My younger brother, when he has money, he will be careless, and he can't say that one day he will be itching, so he will run out with the money and fight for a while, and he will come back when he has no money. ”

Wu Haining retorted: "Sister, you underestimate people too much. I follow the master, looking for a future, where will I be half-hearted? ”

"Don't be verbose, hand it over!"

Xiu Ying saw that it was not possible, so she simply snatched it in two steps and grabbed Wu Haining's ear, and the guy immediately coaxed: "Don't don't, I'll just hand it over." ”

Then he hummed and chirped, and reluctantly took out a few pieces of loose silver from his sleeve cage. Xiu Ying twisted again: "Who are you coaxing?" ”

"Shhh...... me, I haven't taken it out yet. ”

I saw this guy shake his hand again, and there were two more silver tickets in his hand. Xiu Ying grabbed it and took a look, and said, "Two hundred taels? I'm going to come down, or I'm going to be spended by you. I will keep it for you to marry in the future. ”

Wu Haining cried and couldn't say anything.

Li Weijian said happily: "Leave him a little." ”

Xiu Ying thought for a while, then took out five taels of silver from the scattered silver and threw it to Wu Haining. Wu Haining pinched the silver and frowned, it was really hard work for 20 years......

But I heard Li Weijian say: "Give you an errand, go to Jinling, send your sister over, and then take Qingwen and Xiangling over." ”

"Huh?" Xiu Ying suddenly pursed her lips, her face full of displeasure.

Li Weijian said with a smile: "It came out in January, and now it's almost April." ”

Xiuying said aggrievedly: "I know, it's ...... How did it go by so fast? ”

Having said that, she also knew in her heart that she had monopolized Li Weijian for two months, and when Xiangling and Qingwen came, she would not be cheeky enough to arrange her shifts. Instead of sulking at that time, it is better to go to the old house of the Li family in Jinling for a while.

Because it was Xiu Ying and said, "Then, when will the master pick me up?" ”

"If it's fast, it's a month, and if it's slow, it's going to take two months."

Xiu Ying thought for a while, and then said: "The master can't have a short time to serve him, I will go to Jinling, and let Bitong stay?" ”

Bi Tong, who lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, chuckled in her heart, secretly thinking that she was in a catastrophe after all, right?

Unexpectedly, Li Weijian said: "It's just a few days, I can't say that I have to run around." Excuse me, you can take Bitong to Jinling. ”

Xiu Ying had no choice but to respond, and tried her best not to mention it that night. The next day, Wu Haining drove the carriage and sent Xiuying to Jinling.

Li Weijian had eaten the fast, and a nun came to report, saying that she was invited to see the Gu staff of Suzhou City.

Li Weijian made a pot of fragrant tea by himself, and only let him in. The nun turned around and left, and after a moment's notice, Gu Wanzhong walked in with her stomach in her hand.

The two met the ceremony, and Li Weijian saw that he was smiling, so he said: "Gu Yuanwai is smiling, I think about the land of Xishan Island...... It's all closed? ”

"This ......" Gu Wanzhong's face stiffened, and he said in a low voice: "I really have the trust of the negative Lang, and I spent a lot of money under it, and only received sixty percent of the land on Xishan Island." The remaining forty percent are still talking...... Still talking. ”

Li Weijian stretched out his hand to invite, and Gu Wanzhong hurriedly sat down. The teapot was tilted, and the clear tea soup was poured into the teacup, Li Weijian pushed the teacup over and said: "I don't care when I put it away, I only care if I can put it all in my hands." ”

Gu Wanzhong hurriedly said: "Lang Zhong, please rest assured, now it is just a matter of money." In a few days, we can always talk. ”

Li Weijian thought for a moment and said: "That Xishan Island, count one cent of the cement business, and then allow you to invest in two shares." ”

"That dare is good-" Gu Wanzhong held the teacup and said: "I just don't know, Langzhong's cement business-"

Li Weijian glanced at him and said with a smile: "It is expected that the staff has long known about Jingshi Water. The official was ordered to come to Jiangnan to establish a cement business, which was compared to Jingshi Water Affairs. ”

Gu Wanzhong was suddenly overjoyed. Jingshi Water is a plate of 30 million taels, if you compare it with Jingshi Water, then this Laoshizi cement service is also 30 million taels? Three shares, that's 900,000 taels.

After being happy, Gu Wanzhong suddenly felt a little worried. That Xishan Island is not very vast, and buying land at a premium and throwing away more than 100,000 taels of silver is equivalent to taking advantage. But although he is also a rich party in Suzhou, there is not so much silver.

If you have to pay 600,000 taels of silver for two shares, you have to pay at least half of the difference, how can this be good?

Seeing that his face was difficult, Li Weijian said: "Is there a difficulty outside the staff? ”

"This ...... To tell the truth, I am afraid that the money will not be used for a while. ”

"Oh, if the outside of the staff is done, this share is allowed to be outside the staff. As for the money that subscribed for shares, the official could not control whether it was his own or not. ”

Huh? Ahh It's a big deal to go back and resell some, maybe there will be some profit.

Gu Wanzhong laughed again, and said, "Li Langzhong, this ...... Now that most of the land on the island is in our hands, this cement ...... Do you want to make a move first? ”

"Don't worry," Li Weijian said, "The machine that this official ordered from the Beijing division will be delivered in about a few days." Besides, digging mountains and digging coal, it is better to use explosives faster. The staff gathered the remaining land in their hands as soon as possible, when it was collected, and when it was released. At that time, the official will set up a banquet in Suzhou City to raise funds, on a first-come, first-served basis. ”

After getting the right words, Gu Wanzhong ironed the post, and immediately patted his chest and promised: "Li Langzhong rest assured, in another three or five days, this Xishan Island will definitely be ours!" ”

After talking for a while, Gu Wanzhong left with great ambition. Li Weijian had eaten lunch and was really tired of it.

It's just enough to eat this fast once or twice, and I can't bear to eat it when I see the sky. He is still growing his body at this time, where can he eat green vegetables and tofu at home every day?

The forbidden army who had just been instructed by him to listen to Xing Xiuyan's family background came over and came over to mutter, not only Xing Xiuyan's family history, but also Na Miaoyu's family history.

Li Weijian was speechless for a while, if he remembered correctly, this order was given a few days ago, and he didn't hear it until today, so it can be seen that the trust is not human.

This Xing Xiuyan lives in Suzhou, and his family originally made a living as a rice shop. A few years ago, Taihu Lake flooded, flooded Suzhou, because of the pity of selling rice and grain, Xingjia rice shop was smashed by a group of chaotic people, and the home was looted by the way.

Xing Zhong was so angry that he couldn't afford to get sick, and his family had no choice but to pawn the shop to treat him. When Xing Zhong recovered from his illness, the money from the sale of the pawn was almost spent. So the family had to borrow to live in Panxiang Temple, and Xing Zhong earned money by doing things for the weaving factory.

Unlike Xing Xiuyan, Miaoyu's original surname is Xu, and her ancestors are also official eunuchs, and she can be regarded as a big family in Suzhou today.

Because of his illness since childhood, it didn't work to find any substitutes, so he entered Panxiang Temple to lead the practice...... This is on the bright side.

In fact, Miaoyu was going to return to the vulgar a few years ago, but because he had a marriage contract with the Zhen family of Jinling weaving since he was a child, he was prodigal in his early years, and he knew that he was dyed with flowers and willows. Because he simply did not recover from the oral disease, he has been avoiding Panxiang Temple.

After listening to what the forbidden army said, Li Weijian suddenly changed his mind. The news in the open and in the dark can be heard, this person is a talent!

He immediately asked the man's name, and gave him fifty taels of silver, and then sent the forbidden army to the happy place.

Li Weijian secretly thought in his heart, the Xu family is a big family in Suzhou, and he runs a weaving yard at home, so he is afraid that he will not dare to offend Jinling Weaving Zhen Yingjia, so he has to do it as a last resort, so that Miaoyu will always lead the practice.

Even if he asked about this matter, he was not sensitive to Na Miaoyu, as for Xing Xiuyan...... See you soon.

After a few days, Li Weijian was really tired of eating fast, so he only used rice porridge with sausages this day, and after a hurried meal, he led the two forbidden soldiers down the mountain to wander.

When I walked to the paddy field, I suddenly saw the smoke curling from the south wind, and the fragrance wafted from that side.

Li Weijian followed the aroma and walked over, turned a paddy field, and saw a fire lit by the Taihu Lake, on which there was an iron pot, and the red clothes were squatting beside it, stir-frying carefully. There was a little girl of seven or eight years old squatting on the side, holding her cheeks and looking into the pot.

Before Li Weijian got closer, Xing Xiuyan heard the footsteps, looked back and saw that it was Li Weijian, and hurriedly dropped the shovel and got up: "I've seen Li Langzhong." ”

"Hello Miss Xing." Li Weijian smiled and said, "This is-" He pointed to the pot.

Xing Xiuyan said: "I caught some river shrimp...... Lang Zhong also knows that it is not delicious meat in Panxiang Temple. ”

Li Weijian saw that the shrimp in the pot were all pink and white, and there were green tea leaves dotted among them, so he asked, "But Longjing shrimp?" ”

Xing Xiuyan said with a smile: "Lang Zhong said that he was joking, but it was just a coarse tea saved, and it was fried like this to borrow a taste, but it could not be regarded as Longjing shrimp." ”

The little girl on the side saw Xing Xiuyan stand up, so she also stood up, but she didn't speak because she didn't know Li Weijian.

Li Weijian ate for several days, and this time the worm was very moved, and blurted out: "Why don't I exchange things with Miss Xing for this pot of shrimp?" ”

"Huh?"

"Girl, let's make a price, I think it can be worth at least ten catties or eight catties of sausages."

Xing Xiuyan smiled, but her face was slightly bitter. After thinking about it for a while, he said with a smile: "Lang Zhong forgive me, I won't change it this time...... However, I can treat Lang Zhong to eat some. ”

Li Weijian wondered, and asked with a smile: "This is strange, don't change it, but invite me to eat?" ”

Xing Xiuyan thought for a while, and felt that something seemed wrong, so he said: "It's me who is abrupt, Lang Zhong is afraid that it isβ€”uh-"

Xing Xiuyan was stunned, and saw Li Weijian step forward to pick up the shovel, pick out a shrimp, blow it twice and throw it straight into his mouth.

chewed slightly, and said with a smile: "Good taste, good craftsmanship of the girl." ”

Xing Xiuyan shook his head with a smile, found a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo basket and handed them over, and said, "Lang Zhong doesn't dislike it, so please use some together." ”

"Okay." Li Weijian took the chopsticks, stirred his robe and simply squatted down, and feasted without any image.

She didn't say why she didn't change, and he didn't ask. If Gain's parents knew that he had seen Li Weijian again, they were afraid that they would have thoughts that they shouldn't have again.

She has been in the middle of the road since she was a child, and she learned from Miaoyu in reading and writing, and she never learned Miaoyu's lonely conceit, but learned to clean herself. Never complain about the sky, do not cling to others, only hold themselves elegant, do not fight or grab, like proud snow and cold plums, a hundred flowers withered, and she is the only one who appears spontaneously.

Li Weijian was like flying, and after eating for a long time, he suddenly saw Xing Xiuyan and the little girl but did not move, so he smiled and said: "Eat together, don't be polite." ”

Xing Xiuyan pursed her mouth, and the little girl next to her pulled her sleeves again and again, so she made up her mind, took the chopsticks, and squatted down with the little girl to enjoy the shrimp.

Three pairs of chopsticks, two pairs of flying, and the pair of Duxing Xiuyan fell for a long time. The little girl didn't seem to know what Lang Zhong meant, but she said that she was the son-in-law of the family around her, because she was very unceremoniously competing with Li Weijian.

The two pairs of chopsticks would be grabbed together from time to time, and if they won once in a while, the little girl would snort proudly at Li Weijian.

Li Weijian had just eaten, and he couldn't eat after eating for a long time, so he stopped his chopsticks and asked, "Who is this little girl?" ”

"The orphan girl picked up in the temple has not yet been shaved, and she is called Zhu'er."

Li Weijian asked casually: "Why don't you shave?" ”

Xing Xiuyan said: "This degree must be shaved to have a degree, and now the government is strictly investigating, if there is no real talent and real learning, a degree will cost hundreds of taels of silver to buy." The temple is poor, where can I give up the money to buy it? ”

Li Weijian suddenly realized that he should have known about this matter, but he didn't think much about it.

He looked at Zhan'er with a smile and said, "Zhang'er, how old are you?" ”

A good pot of shrimp was originally divided between two people, but now half of it has entered Li Weijian's stomach, and Zhu'er is annoyed, and he rolled his eyes when he heard the words and said, "I won't tell you!" ”

Xing Xiuyan hurriedly said: "Zhu'er, don't be rude." ”

Zhu'er listened to Xing Xiuyan's smoke very much, so she said honestly with her mouth curled: "Seven years old." ”

Li Weijian teased: "Seven years old, it's almost time to change your teeth." Eating more shrimp shells is beneficial. ”

"Humph!" Zhen'er didn't believe it at all, and simply turned her head away from him.

"Hey, what I just said is a good thing, it's up to you whether you listen or not." Li Weijian put down his chopsticks, got up and stretched his body, only to feel that this little fried shrimp was very right.

I had the heart to ask Xing Xiuyan to help me cook, but I knew that this idea was too abrupt, so I simply gave up my hand and said: "Thank you Miss Xing for your hospitality, I will definitely repay you in the future." ”

"Li Langzhong is polite." Xing Xiuyan hurriedly returned the gift.

Li Weijian smiled and bowed, then turned around and left.

Looking at its distant background, Xing Xiuyan pursed her lips and smiled quietly. Mom and Dad have mentioned this Li Langzhong a few days ago, and he is also a high-ranking official and Houlu, Xing Xiuyan only said that he is such a character, and he will definitely act in a straightforward manner, but he is so casual.

Seeing that Li Weijian had walked away, Zhang'er on the side said angrily: "Sister, just now he wants to exchange things, why don't you change it?" I want to eat sausages. ”

Xing Xiuyan only reached out and touched Zhu'er's head, but was speechless. Thinking in her heart, where would she tell Zhu'er this big mouth?

……………………………………………………

It's April in the blink of an eye, and the city of Suzhou is changing these days. Earlier, many owners were worried about whether Suzhou would be in chaos and whether the government could repay the accounts.

When Gu Wanzhong poured everything he had, black, white, and non-black and white means were used in one go, and finally all the land on Xishan Island was pocketed, and in private and in the face of officials, a piece of news immediately spread -

- Neifu Hui Ji Langzhong, second-class male, Li Weijian, Li Caishen! This son was ordered by the emperor, and now he wants to establish a cement business in Suzhou.

What is Cement? A group of proprietors listened for a long time and only listened to a scale and a half claw, Suzhou Mansion said, only need to make this cement, only a few months can create a thousand miles of stone ponds, a few years, can make the south of the Yangtze River forever free of floods.

Mo said that he also heard some news, but he didn't hear it, just by virtue of Li Weijian's name, many families and rich people are also flocking to it.

Don't say that it is the city of Suzhou, and the big families in Huaiyang, Zhenjiang and even Huzhou have come to find it. And it's not the children who came, many of them were the head of the family himself.

Many people heard that Li Weijian would borrow the Panxiang Temple outside the city, so they moved their minds to visit. However, when he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he was stopped by a sentry forbidden army, and turned his head to send an invitation, only to say that on the sixth day of the fourth month, Deyuelou prepared a banquet.

The visitors got the invitation and had to return to Suzhou.

However, he said that this day was the second day of the fourth month, and it was close to noon, and Wu Haining escorted Qingwen and Xiangling to Panxiang Temple.

I haven't seen her for a few months, Xiangling can still hold it, Qingwen saw Li Weijian, and when she saw that she had lost a little weight, her eyes immediately turned red.

Li Weijian pulled Qingwen, comforted her, and wiped away her tears, and then asked about the situation of the Li family's old house.

Qingwen sniffed and said: "The grandfather and grandmother are all fine, the uncle recently took a concubine, I heard that she was a courtesan on the Qinhuai River, and she didn't let the uncle come to the door for a long time for this grandfather; The second master got a new son, and the fourth master turned around, saying that he couldn't eat the full moon wine. ”

Li Weijian smiled and asked, "What about the two of you?" ”

"That's it, what else?"

Xiangling said on the side: "The two young ladies often come to us to play naughty, but two of the three sentences mention the fourth master." said that the fourth master promised to lead them to the Confucius Temple to play tricks, and this time he had to make up for it no matter what. ”

Coco Li and Li Qi, these sisters live with their widowed aunt, and the aunt is a strong one, and she always doesn't want her uncle to help. In those two years, I often took the opportunity to feed my two cousins. After being away from home, I don't know how the two cousins are doing.

Just about to say something, suddenly Wu Haining went and returned, only stopped in the courtyard and shouted: "Master, let's talk about the little one again, the inner government sent a small official, saying that the machine that the master wants will be delivered tomorrow." ”

"Oh? Okay, treat me to something. ”

Li Weijian let out a sigh of relief, and the machine he wanted was finally delivered. In this way, the title deed is in hand, and the title deed of the mountains and forests is from Suzhou Prefecture, and they will be able to land on the island tomorrow, and then recruit people to try to produce cement.

Retracting his thoughts, Li Weijian stroked Qingwen's hand and said, "These two days have been a little busy, after a while, I will take you to Kunshan to see your father." ”

Qingwen's face suddenly changed, and she said, "What's there to see?" When you sold me, you made it clear that from now on, you will only be without me as a daughter. ”

Li Weijian knew that Qingwen was duplicitous, so he smiled and didn't say anything else, but turned to look at Xiangling: "Do you remember where you live?" ”

Xiangling shook her head tangled and said, "I only remember that there is a fragrant tree at home." ”

"It's okay, I'll ask the Suzhou Mansion to help me find it when I go back, and I can always find it."

Xiangling bowed down with gratitude: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

Li Weijian stopped the excited Xiangling, and secretly thought in his heart, if others were afraid that it would take a lot of effort to find him, it would be much easier for him.

Guy remembered that Xiangling's original life was Zhen Yinglian, the Zhen family was from the Gusu Wang clan, and the Zhen family was not a big surname, so he expected to find results in a few days.

On this day, because Qingwen and Xiangling were new, the abbot Huiming Lao Ni didn't know that the two were big girls, and when he saw that the two of them were wearing silk and satin, he just said that they were aunts, so he took it upon himself to make a vegetarian banquet to entertain.

Qingwen and Xiangling ate novelties, but Li Weijian was tired of it, and suddenly remembered the pot of shrimp they ate by the lake.

The next day, the machine was delivered. A pot camel machine, a belt-driven forging hammer. There is no way to crack the rocks, and in addition to using explosives, you can only use manpower; But it's better to use a machine to crush stones, anyway, there is coal on this island.

On the same day, Li Weijian led people to the island, and several craftsmen from the inner government who accompanied him searched around, and sure enough, they found the coal mine. After listening to it, I realized that this coal mine had already been mined.

It's just that the vegetation in the south of the Yangtze River is lush all year round, and there is no shortage of firewood in the local area, so there is no large-scale mining. Li Weijian immediately gave up the money, launched a sentry forbidden army, opened the mountain and cracked the rocks, dug coal for ore, and commanded the accompanying craftsmen to start the kiln.

If so, I burned a kiln of cement on the sixth day of the fourth month. After a little try, maybe it was not mixed with crushed iron filings, and maybe it was not enough calcination time, Li Weijian felt that the strength was not the cement made in Beijing, and it was enough to show it to the rich man in Jiangnan.

……………………………………………………

On this afternoon, the carriages and horses gathered in front of the Deyue Building in Suzhou, and countless dignitaries got off the car, facing the dozen forbidden soldiers guarding in front of the building, and obediently sent invitations, which would be invited into the middle school.

What if you don't have an invitation? Then I'm sorry, the forbidden army only recognizes invitations and not people.

At this time, the first and forty men were still in control, and seeing that the housekeeper couldn't make sense, he simply stepped forward to defend himself with the forbidden army. Coincidentally, there was a person in the building, and it was Gu Wanzhong who had to take the lead.

The big fat man moved his body, he saw his old friend upstairs, and he didn't want to come out to take a look, so he bumped into his opponent.

Gu Wanzhong blinked, stepped forward and said: "Brother Min, Li Langzhong has already spoken, he only recognizes the invitation card and does not recognize the person, this forbidden army is just acting according to orders, what's the use of you embarrassing him?" Why don't you hurry up and get the invitation. ”

Zhu Minxiu secretly hated in his heart, if he had an invitation, would he still have to pay for it? He went to Huzhou to visit friends some time ago, and the family was handed over to the second brother to take care of, only to blame his second brother for being a rice worm who didn't care about anything.

Zhu Min Xiuyuan listened to the letter in Huzhou, and hurried home to ask, but the second brother didn't know anything.

Zhu Minxiu was already holding back his anger, and seeing Gu Wanzhong gloating, he suddenly became angry. Snorted coldly: "Gu Wanzhong, can you get an invitation with your family background?" Don't deceive Li Langzhong, you plan to profit from it, right? ”

Gu Wanzhong got Li Weijian's promise, and he didn't get angry with a smile this time, and arched his hand: "TOEFL TOEFL, I am grateful to Li Langzhong, let me help you run." Hehe, this time it's just a little money, but it's bigger than Brother Min's family. ”

"Huh? You don't ......"

"Huh? What could it be? Eh, Brother Ciyuan is here, Brother Min Xiu forgive me, I have to go to greet him. ”

Zhu Minxiu had nothing to do, and it was not good to block in front of the restaurant, so he had to turn back to the alley to think about it.

At about Mo Shen, Zhu Minxiu saw a sentry forbidden army escorting two carriages, and there were Suzhou government officials in front of him to open the road, and they were coming towards this side.

The carriage and horses stopped under the restaurant, and the two of them got down in the car first, and the one in his early thirties was the new Suzhou prefect Zhuang Yougong, who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and it was expected that it must be Li Weijian in the Huiji Lang.

The old man with white hair came down from the carriage behind, Zhu Minxiu looked at it intently, and suddenly gasped. Why did even Governor Wang Shuhuan come to the platform?

In this way, isn't this Rausch cement business promising?

If you miss this encounter, the stock of the cement business will have to rise to the sky in the future, and he will lose a lot!

Just as Zhu Minxiu was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, he suddenly saw a carriage galloping towards him, and as soon as the old man got out of the car, Zhu Minxiu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Uncle Lu Shi, the little nephew Zhu Minxiu is polite here."

He hurried over and startled the old man. After seeing the person who came, the old man stared at the cloudy eyes and said, "Min Xiu, I just saw that the frame of the prefect has arrived, why don't you go in?" ”

What can Zhu Minxiu say? I had to say with a bitter face: "Uncle Shi doesn't know, the little nephew forgot to wait for the invitation for a while, this is ...... I don't know if Uncle Shi can make it convenient. The little nephew is your old housekeeper and follows in to see the excitement? After a pause, he said, "Uncle Shi, I will buy more of your old tea garden this year." ”

The old man was happy: "Okay, a word is a certainty." ”

With the invitation, the forbidden army really stopped stopping it. Zhu Min breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and helped Lu Yingchen into the inside.

The restaurant was bustling, and suddenly I saw two officials in scarlet robes coming down from the second floor and stopping at the staircase. The two men did not speak, but looked around, and the surroundings fell silent.

Zhuang Yougong arched his hand and said loudly: "Gentlemen, if you think about it, you also know that the person next to this official is the chief inspector of the Inner Palace, a second-class man, Li Weijian and Lord Li. This time, Lord Li was ordered to come to Suzhou to prepare for the cement business in Suzhou, and then invited all the virtuous people to come here to gather. ”
