Chapter 4: The Giant Gate

Fang Zhongjin had already planned to turn around and enter the city, but suddenly saw Ji Changan rushing towards him. He did a lot of calculations, how could he have calculated that he had met this kid again in Ninghai? Ji Chang'an was used to being arrogant on weekdays, but he said that he had been chasing him for more than two months, and he didn't know what kind of mystery he was doing.

Ji Changan was not angry with Old Man Shen and Widow Yan beside him, and only said, "Jianghuai Boat Company and Shanglong Boat Company, right? Then he grabbed Fang Zhongjin's arm and said, "Follow me! Even if you turn to ashes, won't I recognize you?"

Old man Shen and Widow Yan saw that Ji Changan didn't bother to pay attention to themselves at all, and they both showed embarrassed expressions on their faces. The two of them couldn't guess whether there was enmity or old between this Fang Zhongjin and the distinguished guest they were waiting for. The old man and the widow could only look at each other awkwardly, and then turned their heads to meet the lustful man again.

The gentle son on the other end is not like Ji Changan. Shen and Yan saw that he was smiling kindly, maybe he was a good talker, so they simply stopped paying attention to the two weirdos just now. Old man Shen greeted the gentle boy with a smile first: "The boy is from the capital? "He's already recognized someone once today, so this time he has to ask him first.

Wen Run Gongzi got off the horse with a smile, and said to the two: "Our family is from the capital. What do you call them?"

Shen and Yan couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this son's voice speak in a sharp and clear voice.

Before the Yan widow could figure out the essentials, Xianjiao smiled and said, "But Zheng Gongzi, the slave family is the head of the Shanglong Boat Company." I came to pick up the wind and wash the dust for my son. Please go to the slave's house and sit down. The slave family has already prepared wine and food, and even if the son wants to stay for a day or two, it will be no problem. As he spoke, he leaned towards the gentle boy as if he was unable to hold himself.

Wen Run Gongzi quietly moved a step to the side, and he could avoid the support of Widow Yan. He still smiled warmly and said, "Our family is surnamed Zheng." A single name and a word. This time I came to Ninghai, and I have already set up the Four Seas Inn. I don't dare to bother this lady. ”

When Old Man Shen heard this, he smiled secretly in his heart. Widow Yan, a woman, relies on herself all day long to have a little appearance, and she will do whatever it takes to do business. On weekdays, if you don't have a face or skin, forget it, this time it's really called self-inflicted sin and can't live. This Zheng Gongzi is already with fine skin and tender meat. As soon as he spoke, his voice was sharper than that of the man next to him. This is a very obvious thing, and Widow Yan can't even see it. This Zheng Gongzi is clearly an internal servant of the emperor.

It turned out that the two of them had already gotten the news that the emperor had sent Qin to Ninghai to select the shipyard. It is said that a large number of treasure ships will be built that can sail thousands of miles. Such a big business, if it is taken into hands, it will not be a worry to lie down and eat and drink for ten lifetimes.

Among all the ships in Ninghai, the Jianghuai boat line ranks first. After the shameless widow inherited the inheritance of her dead ghost husband, she made the Shanglong Boat Company bigger and bigger, and gradually became comparable to herself.

But that may be changing today. From now on, in Ninghai, or in the entire Ming Dynasty, which ship company can be called the leader of the dragon? It all depends on who can envelop the father-in-law in front of him.

Old man Shen was proud, how could you use the methods of your widow Yan in the past? Not to mention the entrapment, maybe it will make this father-in-law bored. It seems that God wants my Jianghuai boat line to prosper!

He coughed at the moment and said to Zheng He, "Gong Zheng...... Public. The contemptible person is Shen Haiqing of Jianghuai Boat Company. Our Ninghai County is a small place, and the inn is not comfortable. The guys inside are all stupid people, don't snub the distinguished guests. I also asked Zheng Gongzi to go to the contemptible mansion for a few days. Although our Ninghai is small, it still has some good scenery. Let's take Zheng Gongzi to visit them one by one. ”

I saw that Zheng He was always smiling, and he couldn't see who he was particularly intimate with, nor did he show any dislike for anyone.

He said to the two people in front of him with a pleasant face: "The two shipmakers are both local wealthy businessmen and magnates in Ninghai County. The house must be very comfortable and pleasant. But our family has a mission this time, and we want to visit a few more boat companies in this Ninghai County. If you rashly live in two mansions, it is indeed inconvenient. When our task is completed, we must go to the two mansions to disturb them, and please don't dislike them when the time comes. ”

This Zheng He is a smiling tiger. While talking and laughing, a soft nail was given to Old Man Shen and Widow Yan. What he said was so calm that everyone didn't have any room to talk anymore after listening to it.

It was the first time for Old Man Shen and Widow Yan to see such a young but socialistic master, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Zheng He smiled and bowed his hand to them, saying goodbye. He led his horse and carefully passed between them, as if he was afraid that they would be dirty.

Zheng He walked to Ji Chang'an, who had been watching the play for a long time, and asked, "Chang'an, you have worked so hard to grab this drudgery in front of the emperor." Is it just to find a son?" said Fang Zhongjin and said, "Fortunately." Under the name Zheng He, I don't know what your Excellency will call him?"

Fang Zhongjin saw that although Zheng He was also a color eye, he was not mixed with the blood of Westerners like Lu'er, but was more similar to the appearance of a Great Cannibal.

Since the Yuan Dynasty, all Turkic peoples, Sogdians, Tubo people, Dangxiang people, Central Asian Khitans, Persians, and a small number of Great Cannibals have been called Semu people. It's just because their pupils aren't pure black like the Han people.

Fang Zhongjin saw that although Zheng He was also looking himself up and down, his eyes were calm and his expression was warm, and he was not annoying. Fang Zhongjin arched his hand and said, "Fortunately, Zhongjin below." ”

Ji Changan said impatiently on the side: "Don't be despicable." Listened to the boredom of the tight. Let's go into the city. As he spoke, he turned his head to Fang Zhongjin and said, "Do you still have any place to stay in Ninghai?" Let's go, come with me to the inn." There was no negotiating meaning in his words, as if everything was already in place.

Fang Zhongjin was hesitant in his heart. I don't know why after separating from Ji Changan in Hangzhou, he would come to pursue himself again. He even knew that his destination was Ninghai. Could it be that Fang Zhongjin's true identity has already been revealed? Ji Changan was sure that he had no place to live in Ninghai, did he also know that he was a member of the Fang family that had been destroyed? Fang Zhongjin couldn't help but secretly guard against it in his heart.

Ji Changan smiled at it, and said mockingly: "I have already seen through your little catty." Don't worry, if I come to arrest you, I won't bring a brocade guard. Come with me, let's talk about it at the wine table. ”

Fang Zhongjin is not afraid of what Ji Changan can do to himself. He turned his head and sighed and said to Lu'er, "Let's go and get together with Zheng Gongzi and Ji Gongzi." ”
