Swaggering Transit Section 34
"On weekdays, I do things for the son, how can I not be familiar with it? However, Shen Da is in charge, as one of the top business names in Jiangnan and Zhejiang, he should be familiar with the origins and family backgrounds of local merchants, right? ”
Shen Li said modestly, "There are famous local businessmen of all sizes, and they all know a little bit about their family backgrounds. ”
After a false pleasantry, both of them were quite satisfied, and both felt that they could take something useful out of each other's mouths. Qi Tang's cold and perfunctory attitude also warmed up three points.
Shen Li inquired about the head of Xinghualou, Qin Shuiniang.
"I heard it below...... When the prince of your mansion was in Jiangning City, he was very fond of the head lady of Xinghualou, and specially purchased a house to settle people. Although later...... Hehehe, the person ran away, after all, he followed the prince of your house for a while. The peony flower dies, and the ghost is also romantic. ”
He pretended not to see Qi Tang's face blackened to the bottom of the pot, and continued to test what had happened in the past few days.
"It's actually a common thing that the outer room of the placement runs away. I heard that the house where it was placed was not very expensive. However, the prince of Guifu offered a reward of 500 taels of silver, and arrest warrants were issued all over the counties and towns of Lianglu in the south of the Yangtze River, and the arrests are still being made endlessly. Such unforgiving, is it possible, hehe, what is the secret in it, the prince of your mansion will be so angry......"
Although Ye Fuliu refused to say the origin of the Han bricks on the boat, thinking of the whereabouts that suddenly disappeared in those days, and the similar portrait of the arrest warrant, Shen Li had already had a firm guess in his heart.
The Shen family was born in a businessman's family, unlike the official eunuchs who cared about women's morality and women's workers. The origin of the goods in Ye Fuliu's hands is unknown, and he doesn't care; Ye Fuliu pretended to be Qin Shuiniang, the head lady of Xinghualou, and he could also ignore it.
But in the days when she pretended to be Qin Shuiniang, she messed with Qi Shizi every day, and set up a house outside the city. How did he spend those days, and whether he was approached by Qi Shizi, Shen Li thought about it day and night, and it really became a thorn in his heart.
Recently, when Qi Shizi came to Wukou Town to look for relatives, and when he slammed the gate of the Wei family and called himself "Qi Tang," he was informed by an informant, and he began to doubt the identity of this wealthy young man from Jiangning Mansion.
Later, this person really began to look for the trouble of the Ye family, and kept saying that he was going to kick the door of the Ye family, and went in to find a woman surnamed Qin. He was sure that this must be Qi Shizi.
Taking advantage of the noble man's trouble, he immediately decided to guarantee the person out of the county office, pretending not to know his identity, and selling him a favor.
How Ye Fuliu spent the few days in Jiangning Mansion and whether he had any unclear involvement with the prince in front of him had to ask him face to face today.
Qi Tang's face was difficult to look at.
Isn't Shang Jia the best at reading people's faces, how can this surnamed Shen poke him in the sore spot when he opens his mouth!
For the first time in twenty years, he took a fancy to a woman, and Qin Shuiniang said coldly, "Shui Niang has never been with anyone, and she doesn't want to give her life casually." Shizi If it's the beloved of the water lady, you don't even have the patience to wait? "Knocked him out.
He didn't want to be casual, Shui Maiden was his first woman, and he had enough patience that he would wait until the good day of the crown to spend the night with her......
Not to mention close, I haven't even held a small hand!
Qi Tang gritted his teeth and smiled, "What kind of identity is my family's descendant, if you want to be a Qinglou woman, is there any reason why you can't do it?" The secret of the arrest...... Hmph, it's not for a house. Since Qin Shuiniang has followed my family and become a son of the world, how can she have any reason to let her escape? That cunning woman Even if she escapes to the ends of the earth, my family will hunt her down and teach her what it means to keep to herself! ”
After a cruel remark, Shen Li's face was difficult to look at.
With Ye Fuliu's character of never refusing to suffer, he originally guessed that Qi Shizi had planted a big heel on her, and a boatload of Han bricks was dismantled, maybe he was coaxed into a lot of meat, and he didn't even touch his little hands......
Why, listening to his tone, he was actually close to him?!
Shen Li blackened his face and stopped talking.
In the dull sound of horses' hooves, it was now Qi Tang's turn to ask.
Jiangnan has been arrested for a whole month, and there is no trace of Qin Shuiniang, how can a "lonely little lady" have such great ability? He now became more and more convinced that Qin Shuiniang must have been hired by the enemy family to make him lose face. People may have left the Jiangnan territory with the honorarium, maybe they have already gone to the Central Plains of Jiangbei and Shu in the west, who knows.
Although he said cruel words, he knew in his heart that most people would never find them again.
Although Qin Shuiniang was nowhere to be seen, there was a beauty in front of him who was five or six points similar to Qin Shuiniang.
Although she is not Qin Shuiniang, she is a little lady of the Ye family who is a businessman......
is so similar to Qin Shuiniang's appearance, going one after another, and the timing is so coincidental, isn't it another fate given to him by God?
With this five-six-point resemblance by my side, as time goes by, I naturally forget about the ungrateful one.
is still the same sentence, what kind of identity is he Qi Tang, and if he wants to be a businesswoman, is there any reason why he can't do it?
Qi Tang opened his mouth and asked, "Next door to my cousin Wei's family, what is the origin of the little lady in charge of the Ye family?" What kind of business livelihood do you do? Is it that her parents and brothers are no longer at home, and she is called a little lady to take on the family business? Master Shen is familiar with the local merchants, so he must know everything well, so tell me in detail. ”
Shen Li laughed, and said neither yin nor yang, "Little lady Ye is of course doing a serious business of cloth, and occasionally she is also doing antique furniture. Businessmen walk around, counting small ladies and showing up, what kind of business do they do? Why, Your Excellency was released from the county government, and you have to go to the door to find the Ye family's bad luck? Shen can guarantee it once, but he can't guarantee it a second time. ”
Qi Tang: "......" The surname Shen was still enthusiastic just now, why did he suddenly become angry?
The slave next to him immediately came over and reprimanded, "How do you speak! You're welcome! ”
Shen Li was about to continue to sneer when the door of the Wei family in front of him creaked open.
A touch of bright pomegranate red crossed the threshold, Ye Fuliu led Su Qiu and Qin Long out of the door, lukewarmly glanced at the two big bad luck in front of him, his eyes moved away, and he turned around and entered the gate of the Ye family as if he didn't see it.
Two shouts came from behind him at the same time:
"Little lady Ye, stay here! Shen came to ask for sin! ”
"Little lady Ye, stay here! Qi has something to say! ”
Qi Tang dismounted much more neatly, threw the reins into the hand of the slave, and caught up with him in three steps and two steps.
"Little Lady Ye, I recognized the wrong person before, and I was offended, so I asked Little Lady Ye to be magnanimous and not care about the unintentional mistakes below."
After that, he arched his hand at the door, "Hurry up today, go to the door of the cousin of the Wei family first." Another day, he will definitely make a special trip to the Ye family to make amends. ”
When Ye Fuliu heard the words "I recognized the wrong person," he stopped, and the person stood sideways in the door of Ye's house, his eyes clear, and he looked back with a smile, "Qi Langjun really admitted his mistake?" Do you really want to give a gift to make amends? ”
For the first time in his life, Qi Tang was arrested and put in prison, and he suffered a big loss, but his brain was tempered and sober.
When he was in Jiangning Mansion, everyone respected him, and the people avoided him, stomping their feet and shaking the earth. Why did everyone disrespect him when he came to this remote and nameless town?
When he was in Jiangning Mansion, did everyone respect him Qi Tang as a person, or did he have the identity of a prince on his body, and the Guogong Mansion standing behind him?
He rarely likes a woman, why did Qin Shuiniang, who was favored by him, run away without hesitation?
In this small town of five, he was locked all the way to the county office, humiliated to the extreme, and sat in a black and smelly cell for the whole hour, his brocade clothes lost their lustre, and he was embarrassed.
He liked Qin Shuiniang, arranged a house for her, and spent money for her to decorate it, but Shuiniang still ran away because he was too arrogant.
When people were around, they didn't even look at her with a straight eye, for fear that the affection in their hearts for the lowly woman in the Qinglou would make people see that they had lost their dignity as a son, but they lost their awareness and failed to see the perfunctory treatment of Shui Niang to him in time.
Now that God has given him a beauty who is five or six points similar, he still dislikes the Ye family's lowly status as a merchant girl in his heart, but he has suffered a loss, and this time he did not show his dislike clearly, showing a generous appearance of not caring, waving his hand,
"Don't care. Let the past pass. As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, and now Qi and Ye Xiaoniang know each other. As promised, the Apocalypse will be delivered to your house tomorrow. ”
The corners of Ye Fuliu's lips turned up, and his beautiful eyes bent at the same time to make a human arc, with a little bit of looking, and his seven-point smart expression was three-point cunning, which fell in Qi Tang's eyes, and his heart trembled violently, and he couldn't stop beating violently.
Like, really like!
Although the temperament is not like it at all, Qin Shuiniang is cold, and Ye Xiaoniang is bright, but from this angle, the silhouette of the side face is full of eight images! Is it true that the beauties in the world have similar beauty methods, or is the beauty he Qi Tang likes this mold?
Qi Tang stood by the door, unable to speak. The little lady of the Ye family looked back and smiled, and his eyes dazzled, and he only felt that his mouth was dry and his heart was beating like a drum.
Give her the status of a good concubine! He didn't care about the Ye family's low status as a businessman, so he would show his mother when he went back, and ask the matchmaker to officially come to the door to pay a salute and bring the person back to the Gongfu, this time he definitely didn't have a lot of dreams at night!
The thoughts in his heart kept turning around, Qi Tang cleared his throat in disguise, and asked when he came to the door, "Qi will send a message when he goes back." Don't know if tomorrow is the right time? ”
The moment Ye Fuliu went out, Shen Li's heart tightened, and he immediately stared at Qi Tang's reaction.
Of course, he knew that Ye Fuliu used a pseudonym in Jiangning City, but if he was bumped into by the bitter lord in person, would he be recognized on the spot, and would Qi Shizi be annoyed and angry, and pose as the son of the world on the spot?
Unexpectedly, there was a big surprise after that. Qi Tang's eyes didn't know how to grow, and the bitter master didn't know the fugitives in person, so he actually came to the door one by one to make amends.
Not only did the bitter lord make amends in person, but Ye Fuliu didn't pay attention to him.
The smiling moist round eyes swept over Qi Tang's body, and replied politely: "Those who don't know are not guilty, there is no need for Qi Xiaolangjun to give gifts to make amends, let alone come to the door." Then he ignored him.
His gaze fell on Shen Li instead, and he turned around lightly without speaking.
As soon as she didn't speak, Shen Li's heart was a little empty.
On the day when the local merchants gathered at Ye's house, he took out the arrest warrant in public, and his words revealed the meaning of coercion, intending to suppress Ye Fuliu from giving in to him, and the matter was not pretty.
Qi Shizi's attitude suddenly took a turn just now, and Shen Li still had the heart to watch the jokes, but now he couldn't care about it. Last time, he offended people in public, but Ye Fuliu made it clear that the two businesses would be suspended from now on, and he would no longer be allowed to enter the door of Ye's house. If today's atonement gift can't be sent to the Ye family, it will be difficult for him Shen Li to ask for his wife.
Shen Li immediately beckoned back, "Bring things up!" ”
Seven or eight Shen clan chiefs were busy unloading and moving boxes, piling up the boxes on the trucks one by one in front of Ye's house, and opening five or six wooden boxes one by one.
The lid of the first big mahogany box was lifted, revealing a whole box full of copper coins, like a mountain of money, dazzling in the sun. It's piled up all over the mountains and valleys, and there must be hundreds of thousands of copper coins! ”
Qi Tang squinted at the box full of copper coins, and thought secretly, "It turns out that the surname Shen also offended the Ye family, and he came to the door today to make amends." Uninformed merchants, 100,000 copper is equivalent to a hundred, how much? Rushing to open a box full of money is just a preemptive effort. First take out the whole box of copper coins to shock the Ye family's mind, and then put some cloth and silk horses to fill the number, really when people have not learned the art of war? - And so on. ”
He suddenly had a spirit, "Little Lady Ye must not have learned the Art of War, don't be coaxed by this profiteer surnamed Shen."
Ye Fuliu looked at the mountain of copper coins full of boxes with a smile. After looking at it, he said, "The Shen family's apology? That's it? Have you ever seen Qian when the Ye family? ”
Qi Tang sneered at that time, leaned against the wall, and posed as if he was watching a play.
Ye Fuliu's voice was calm and smiling, and it didn't sound like he was holding a grudge or anger, but Shen Li's heartstrings loosened and he laughed.
"The Ye family's cloth business is all over the south of the Yangtze River, and there are forty merchant ships, just 100,000 yuan, what is it. This box of copper coins is just an appetizer, and I gave it to Mrs. Ye to buy rouge. ”
He raised his hand and signaled, and the Shen family opened the second wooden box in public.
There was a yellow and clear golden light inside, and people were dizzy in the sun, and the Qifu Haonu who came over to watch exclaimed, "Okay...... It's so arrogant! A whole box of gold collars! I'm a mother, how many ...... are there."
Shen Li smiled and pointed to the second wooden box, "Fifty catties of pure gold." Don't hide it from everyone here, Shen has searched for his family, and everything he can use at hand is here. sent to Ye Xiaoniang's house to make amends for Shen's misspeech that day, and asked Ye Xiaoniang to have a large number of them, so don't worry about it. In the future, Shen Ye's two businesses will do the same, and the two sides will still communicate with each other. ”
As soon as Shen Li raised his hand, the Shen family was about to open the third wooden box, but Ye Fuliu waved his hand to stop it. "Slow out of the box."
Neighbors gathered to watch the bustle of the crowd surrounded the inside and outside.
Su Qiu persuaded in a low voice, "Lady, the gift is too precious, we must not accept it." You go back and take refuge, and I'll deal with it with the chief steward. ”
Ye Fuliu: "He dares to send it, why don't I dare to accept it?" However, he only opened the second box, and began to negotiate the conditions, and the wooden box behind him did not have to be opened again. ”
Picked up the pomegranate dress, walked out of the door slowly, raised his hand and clicked the cage on the ground, "I'll take the first box, just when you farted in public that day, I don't care about you." Fifty pounds of gold in a wooden box, you carry it back as it is. The other wooden boxes don't have to be opened, and our Ye family doesn't want them. I, Ye Siniang, are the only ones who say what I say, and the business between the Ye family and the Shen family is stopped, and the two sides will not interact with each other again. As he spoke, he shouted to Qin Long, "Chief steward, come over and move the copper money box." ”
Seeing that Qin Long really strode out, closed the wooden lid of the second cage, and only moved the first wooden box, Shen Li's face changed slightly, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"Little lady Ye, you have to be forgiving and forgiving."
Ye Fuliu stood outside the door of the Ye family and sneered.
"Why, Master Shen, if you don't be a person yourself, you still want me to be forgiving and forgiving? Your Shen family sent a box of copper coins to apologize, and the previous grievances between you and me were written off, and I, I won't trouble you anymore, so you can stop thinking about it! ”
After saying that, he turned around, and in Shen Li's ugly face, he rolled up his skirt and walked into the door of the Ye family.
Su Qiu closed the door with his backhand and shouted, "Shen Da is in charge, go back!" If you harass the house again, my family will have to report to the official! ”
There was silence in his ears for a moment, and Shen Li said outside the door, "Shen will go back first today, and come back next time." ”
Ye Fuliu annoyed him very much, and shouted through the door, "Don't come!" ”
This time there was silence for a long time, and Su Qiu looked out through the crack in the door, and said as she looked, "The people of the Shen family dragged the cage away. ”
"The cousin of the Wei family is still watching the excitement. Look at the appearance of schadenfreude. ”
"What's he gloating about?" Ye Fuliu sneered, "Does he think he is more popular?" ”
