Li Yuanzhi did not die, she floated in the river for a whole day and a night, before she encountered two merchant ships from her sister to Hangzhou, which were fished out of the river by sailors.

When Li Yuanzhi was rescued from the river by sailors, the whole person had fainted due to extreme detachment. She passed out for three days and two nights, and when she woke up from her coma, the boat had stopped, and what appeared in front of her was a woman dressed as a woman, this woman was strange, beautiful and stubborn, and she was sure that she had never seen it, and this woman was not an outsider, it was Li Xiaohuan who hurried out of Hangzhou after hearing that Fang De was going to auction off Fang Long's foreign branch.

"Are you awake?"

"You saved me?"

"It's best if you wake up," Li Xiaohuan's voice was very faint: "Our ship has reached the ground, and I've never liked to be troublesome, I prefer to cause trouble, if you don't wake up again, I really don't know what to do with you." ”

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome," Li Xiaohuan's voice was very light: " I've never liked to be troublesome, and I don't like to get into trouble, so I won't ask you where you came from, and I won't ask how you fell into the river, or if you have any enemies, and you don't have to go out of your way to tell me some lies, tell me what kind of great kindness is not thanks, and I will report it later, I am not interested in your way at all, and I have asked the doctor to check your body just now, and there are no open injuries on your body, dark injuries, just because you have been soaked in the water for a long time, a little out of strength, go back and take a few pairs of tonics, and rest for a few days, it is estimated that it will be fine, but we are a merchant ship, and this time I came to Hangzhou because I have something to do in Hangzhou, it is inconvenient to stay with you for too long, if you have any relatives and friends in Hangzhou, go to your relatives. ”

Li Yuanzhi smiled bitterly: "I don't have any relatives and friends in Hangzhou. ”

"I've thought of this a long time ago," Li Xiaohuan then threw her a burden: "There are a few changes of clothes and two dozen taels of silver in this baggage, even if you don't have any relatives or friends in Hangzhou, it can make you live in Hangzhou for a long time." ”

"You're going to get me off the boat?"

"Not bad," Li Xiaohuan said lightly: " You and I are not relatives, can fish you up from the river, to give you some entanglement is already benevolent and righteous, I have no reason to take care of you for a lifetime, not to mention that I also have my own personnel to do in Hangzhou this time, I can't always carry a drag oil bottle when doing things, although you have no relatives in Hangzhou, but you have hands and feet, as long as you are diligent, you want to find a livelihood in Hangzhou City or no problem, if you have any trouble, or if you have any enemies, I suggest you go to the four streets, relative to the outside, the four streets are a pure land, no matter how many enemies you have, or how much trouble you cause, but as long as you step into the four streets, even if the whole person is safe, as long as you keep to yourself in the four streets, no one can take you away from the four streets, even the people in the official mansion are no exception. ”

"Got it," Li Yuanzhi sat up and got out of bed with great difficulty: "Don't worry, I'll leave now, and I won't cause you trouble." ”

Li Xiaohuan's voice was very light: "That's good!"

After half a pillar of incense, Li Yuanzhi got off Li Xiaohuan's merchant ship and left alone.

With the abolition of Yujizi's martial arts, after Fang Xiaoyu, Fang Shiyu and others entered Beijing to catch the exam, the Lei family's recruitment did not last long, and they withdrew, although their recruitment seemed to be a bit of a failure, but there was no way to do it, because the Lei family's daughters Lei Tingting and Lei Renwang also disappeared, you said that even the daughter is gone, how can you let them put this ring again. The Lei family's ring withdrew, and Hangzhou City seemed to calm down all of a sudden, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this calm only belongs to the calm before the storm. Yuisozi is the head of the Kongtong faction of the Northwest Wulin faction, and there are five elders of Kongtong, which are the real pillars of the Kongtong faction, although the status of the Kongtong faction in the rivers and lakes is far inferior to Shaolin. Wudang two major sects, but also one of the best in the rivers and lakes, more importantly, although the martial arts of the five elders of Kongtong are inferior, but the five of them are not necessarily inferior to Bai Mei, although Yu Jizi is only the representative of them to preside over mundane affairs, the representative is the façade of the Kongtong faction, if even his martial arts are abolished, they are familiar with it, then how can the Kongtong faction gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes.

But in any case, with the removal of the Lei family's ring, Hangzhou City finally returned to its former peace, but this calm did not last long, it was broken by the merchants who came to participate in the auction of the foreign branch of the Fang family, and the auction of the foreign branch of the Fang Long number, Fang De directly authorized it to Robert's foreign company, and conducted a public auction in cash, and the entire auction was carried out under the supervision of the Governor's Palace。

In fact, he did not disappoint Fang De, after the auction, those semicolons in the field got a total of 1,730,000 taels of silver, and after the auction results, Fang De directly sent 1 million taels of silver to the government and donated it to the disaster relief bureaus in various parts of Jiangnan, as a special fund for disaster relief.

Although Miao Cuihua and Ma Yumei were puzzled about her husband's donation of the auctioned silver to the Disaster Relief Bureau, they still bought a table of wine and food with Ouyang Sihai to comfort Fang De, after all, the Fang family's Fang Long number that had been run for several generations was lost in her husband's hands.

Fang De was very appreciative of the three wives' intentions, and he tasted several bites of each dish sincerely.

During the banquet, Ma Yumei asked him about donating the silver to the Disaster Relief Bureau, and Fang De replied to him: " It is a good thing to have silver, but if there is more silver, it is easy to cause others to be jealous, especially in the imperial court, Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, was robbed by Zhu Yuanzhang and destroyed is an example, once you cause the jealousy of the imperial court, then your road will come to an end, because you personally have more money, and you can't fight people with knives, so the real wise man will regulate and control the risk in a timely manner, constantly release the risk, and will not put himself on the knife edge, Zhu Taogong is only called the Shang Sheng, because he is good at reducing the risk to the minimum, and how much you can eat, how much you use, how much you occupy, even if there is no Fang Long, but our roots, and the source of customers are there, I can make a comeback at any time, because the most important thing for a businessman is credibility, and connections, without these two things, you have tens of millions of assets, and one day you will lose everything, but as long as you have these two things, you can get rich overnight at any time. ”

Miao Cuihua smiled and said, "As long as you don't take us to beg for food." ”

Fang De continued: " Zhu Taogong is only called the saint of business, because he is well versed in the way of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, he can not only save the life of the whole family in the troubled times, but also three ups and downs, this ability alone is worth mentioning us to learn, I don't want to bring us the disaster of destruction because of a little outside the body, but this is far from enough, I am ready to divide the rest of the family assets into two parts, fixed assets we do not move, all the gold and silver are entrusted to Robert to deposit in the Royal Bank of England, and ask him to go through the immigration procedures for us, once the Qing Dynasty can not stay, we will move the whole family to the United Kingdom, the legal system in the United Kingdom is much more transparent than ours, especially the protection of businessmen, not like we have a little money here, you still have to hide it, for fear of attracting the attention of the government, and if you accidentally be put on the big hat of a profiteer, your house will be raided. ”

Miao Cuihua couldn't help but say: "Then don't we have to go back to our hometown and drift across the ocean, I'm most afraid of taking a boat, I want to vomit when I take a boat, if I sit on a boat for a few months, I can't faint to death?"

Fang De smiled: "It's really going to be that point, do you say it's seasickness or escape?"

Miao Cuihua thought for a while and said, "It's best never to take that step, let's stay on the land of the Great Qing Kingdom." ”

Fang De smiled and said: "Of course, I don't want to leave my hometown and cross the ocean, but everything is not transferred by people's wishes, we are just doing measures to avoid risks, this is often said well, this cunning rabbit still has three holes." ”

"The three holes of the cunning rabbit, what are the three holes of the cunning rabbit, can you tell me?"

Yongning had already walked in between their conversations, and as soon as she came in, she saw a table full of wine and food: "Okay, you are not righteous, and you don't wait for me if you have delicious food." ”

Ouyang Sihai said: "What is delicious is not waiting for you, you look at you since you came to our house, the time spent outside is better than at home, and I am embarrassed to say that we don't wait for dinner, there is no righteousness, do we all wait for you to be hungry, this is called righteousness, if you want to eat in the future, come back early, don't go crazy alone, we have a lot of things to be busy every day, but when we get to dinner, we will have dinner, but we will not wait for you." ”

As she spoke, she got up and gave Yongning a seat to serve dinner.

"I know, I know, but I don't want you all to wear watches in your hands," Yongning looked at Ouyang Sihai with a smile: "Why don't you give me your watch, sister-in-law?"

Ouyang Sihai said: "I have to run so many shops every day, it's really not good to have a watch, Yumei and Cuihua are relatively idle, why don't you ask them and see who gives them to you?"

Yongning immediately turned his gaze to Miao Cuihua and Ma Yumei: "Which of you let me have the watch in your hand?"

Miao Cuihua pouted: "Don't even think about my watch, but my husband gave me a birthday gift on my birthday last year." ”

"What about you," Yongning turned his gaze to Ma Yumei, "What about you?"

Ma Yumei lowered her head and picked up the rice, pretending not to hear.

Yongning slapped the table, and his apricot eyes widened: "It's so unrighteous, I still treat you as good sisters." ”

Miao Cuihua said: "You don't know how to look at Western watches, what's the use of watching?"

Yongning said indignantly: "I can't read the watch, can't I learn?"

Miao Cuihua said: "As for the watch, we only have one piece, which was specially given to us by the father-in-law on our birthday, which has a special meaning, don't even think about it." ”

Yongning immediately turned his pitiful gaze to Fang De: "I said big brother, I am your righteous sister, your wives have watches in their hands, so they bully me who has no watch, or you give me your watch and let me go out and show off." ”

Fang De smiled: "But I only have one piece." ”

Yongning smiled: "Tomorrow is the birthday of that foreign devil, isn't that foreign devil named Robert very familiar with you, it's not difficult for you to ask him for a watch again, if you're embarrassed, I'll talk to him tomorrow." ”

Fang De smiled: "After making trouble for a long time, it turns out that you want to go to Robert's birthday ball." ”

"Then will you take me there?"

"It's no problem to take you there, but foreigners pay attention to etiquette, you have to learn Western etiquette with Yumei and Cuihua first, if you make a joke about something, it won't be fun. ”。

Yongning gritted his teeth: "Isn't it just learning Western etiquette, this can still stump me Yongning." ”

"Then wait until you're done. ”
