It was already late when Luo Qiushui and the others returned to the Fengdu Inn, but everyone had no intention of resting, because they were all angry in their hearts!
"What kind of bird building is this, the asking price is so high!" said Lei Laohu angrily.
"I think it must be the guy in the shop!" Chunhua said coldly.
Qiuyue poured a cup of tea, handed it to Luo Qiushui, and said in a low voice: "What is the trouble of the child, why don't you say it?"
Only then did everyone realize that Luo Qiushui's brows had wrinkled together, he had never been so worried, and suddenly it became like this, so that everyone couldn't help but worry for a while.
Luo Qiushui slowly took out the letter from his arms and put it on the table, and said angrily: "This Hu Chengwang is really too much!"
Chunhua hurriedly took the letter and read it, and after reading it, she slapped it heavily on the table and said, "This Chen Qian is simply a waste! It's a shame that Gongzi appreciates him so much, but he is so confused!"
Qiu Yue immediately took the letter and read it, and said: "It's all my fault, if that letter was passed to Chen Qian in time, it is estimated that it will not cause today's disaster!"
"What the hell is going on?" Lei Laohu couldn't help but ask.
Qiu Yue immediately handed over the letter, but Lei Laohu did not answer the letter, and asked, "You say, how can I know those many words?"
Chunhua immediately said: "That Chen Qian did not receive the letter from the son, and continued to lower the price of silk, so Hu Chengwang took advantage of this to buy a large number of silk, and it didn't take long for Hangzhou's silk to be hoarded by him alone! Now, only Hu Chengwang's shop in Hangzhou is selling silk!"
"What? How could this be? Didn't Brother Luo write a letter to Chen Qian?"
"The pigeon who delivered the letter was beaten down by Chen Da Niu before it arrived in Hangzhou!" Qiu Yue blamed herself and glanced at Lei Laohu coldly, "Haven't you heard of it in Tianxianglou?"
"Then there is no goods, why not transport them to Hangzhou from other shops?" Lei Laohu urged.
"Here's the problem!" Chunhua pouted, "In order to cooperate with Chen Qian to raise the price of silk in Hangzhou, so as to achieve the purpose of cutting off Hu Chengwang's supply, Gongzi specially instructed other shops to only ship money over, but did not let them transport goods over!
"Huh?" Lei Laohu opened his mouth in a hurry, "Then why doesn't Chen Qian use the money sent by other shops to buy goods elsewhere?"
"Of course he went in, but unfortunately the purchase price was higher than the selling price, and it didn't take long for the money to be emptied!" Chunhua said with a sad face, "Other shops can't bear this kind of loss, so they don't dare to send money over!"
"Oh my God, how much money do you have to lose?" Thunder Tiger broke out in a cold sweat in shock!
"What's even more infuriating is that Chen Qian didn't wake up until this time, and he actually had the courage to borrow money from Hu Chengwang, but within five days, Hu Chengwang came to the door to urge, and Chen Qian couldn't pay it, so he was closed by Hu Chengwang!" Qiu Yue said this and slapped it heavily on the table, "What a confused Chen Qian!"
"Has this kid been kicked in the head by a donkey, how can he borrow money from the enemy?" Lei Laohu scratched his ears and cheeks in anger.
"It's hateful that Hu Chengwang actually colluded with the government, not only sealed Gongzi's shop in Hangzhou, but also robbed Gongzi's supply of goods, and now, Hangzhou's silk business is all Hu Chengwang's!" Qiu Yue said very weakly.
"Damn, let's just kill back to Hangzhou now, kill Hu Chengwang with one sword, and regain business!" Lei Laohu said angrily.
Luo Qiushui glanced at Lei Laohu with slanted eyes, and said with a miserable smile: "I fought with him fairly, how can I act so recklessly?
"What is that son going to do next? Could it be that Hu Chengwang will be merged?" Chunhua said with a worried expression.
"He thinks beautifully!" Luo Qiushui slapped his palm on the table, shook the teacup on the table, and the tea splashed on the table, "I will propose to my uncle tomorrow, as long as he agrees, I will go back to Jiangnan to compete with that Hu Chengwang after finishing this matter as soon as possible!"
"Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the son has just come here, and he suddenly proposed marriage, is it in a hurry?" Qiu Yue reminded.
"I can't care about this much now!" Luo Qiushui frowned.
"But Childe hasn't even seen Miss Ma's face, if he can't look down on it then, won't he miss himself?" Chunhua's face was melancholy.
"Parents have lives, don't dare to contradict each other! There is no need to discuss this matter, let's go back to the room and rest early!" Luo Qiushui slowly stood up after speaking, waiting for the door to close and rest.
The three of them glanced at each other, but they had something to say in their hearts, but it was inconvenient to say more, and they immediately exited Luo Qiushui's room.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Luo Qiushui got up early, and he informed a few people to get ready and went to the Iron Horse Dart Bureau.
Lei Laohu also wanted to go to the Iron Horse Dart Bureau to get acquainted, but after thinking about it again and again along the way, he finally decided that it would be better not to go, so he took the opportunity to go to the thatched house and slipped away halfway.
Luo Qiushui and the others couldn't wait, so they had to abandon Lei Laohu and go to the Iron Horse Dart Bureau together.
Along the way, every household has to put wormwood on the door, but there are children passing by on the road, all wearing a hundred ropes on their arms, chasing each other and playing!
"Today's Dragon Boat Festival, it's really lively here! It's a pity that there is no 'Baisuo' sold on the street today, otherwise the two of us would also buy one to wear!" Chunhua looked at the Baisuo on the arms of those children, and said with some envy.
What is Baso?
Baisuo is a silk rope made of colorful silk threads, which is said to be tied to the arm to ward off evil spirits, but these children are only brought on the arm to look good and show off.
"Look, there's a brown over there!" Qiu Yue pointed to him.
Luo Qiushui immediately looked, but saw that in front of a small stall on the side of the road, there were all kinds of brown seeds of different shapes, including horn dumplings, cone brown, tube brown, rhombus dumplings, scale mallet dumplings, nine dumplings, etc. At that time, people were very particular about doing these things, and they were much more serious about doing these things.
Chunhua immediately smiled and said, "Childe, should we buy some and bring them to Mafu?"
Luo Qiushui smiled faintly and said, "Isn't there no zongzi in Mafu?"
When Luo Qiushui and the others rushed to the Iron Horse Dart Bureau, Ma Decai was leading everyone to insert mugwort leaves in front of the door, and when he saw Luo Qiushui, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Son, why didn't you return last night, but let the lord and Mrs. be so worried!"
Luo Qiushui smiled faintly: "I went out to play too casually yesterday, but I got separated halfway, and I couldn't remember the way when I came back, so I had to stay in the inn temporarily, by the way, the lord and the lady can be in the house?"
"The master is practicing in the back garden, and the lady and the young lady are wrapping the brown seeds by hand!" Ma Decai said this, and smiled happily: "Why don't I take my son back to the room to rest first, do you think?"
"That's very good!" Luo Qiushui said, and followed Chunhua and Qiuyue into the Iron Horse Dart Bureau.
Chunhua and Qiuyue's residences are in the west wing, while Luo Qiushui's residence is in the east wing, so the two of them followed them halfway and went back to the room directly.
Luo Qiushui bypassed the hall and followed Ma Decai all the way, suddenly smelling the fragrance of flowers, and couldn't help but look around, but saw that among the flowers and trees, Ma Yingxiong was practicing with a gold-backed broadsword in his hand, but when he heard the wind, every move and style were skilled and sophisticated, and he couldn't help but praise at the moment: "Good knife technique!"
When Ma Yingxiong heard this, he immediately put away the knife, raised his eyes, and saw that it was Luo Qiushui who had returned, and then smiled and said: "Virtuous nephew, you are back, you can make us wait for a long time yesterday!"
Ma Yingxiong walked over here as he spoke, and when he saw Ma Decai, he casually threw the big knife in his hand, and Ma Decai immediately reached out to catch it!
Ma Yingxiong stepped forward and grabbed Luo Qiushui's hand and said, "Breakfast will start immediately, follow me to the living room first!"
Luo Qiushui followed Ma Yingxiong to the living room, and the guests and hosts sat down, and the maids brought tea.
Ma Yingxiong sighed while motioning for Luo Qiushui to drink tea: "When I was young, I was famous for a big knife, and people gave me the nickname 'Luoyang Golden Knife'!
"Uncle has lofty ambitions, how can he be said to be old? What's more, such a family business has made others forget the dust, and this is the time for the children to take care of their lives, so don't sigh more!" Luo Qiushui said with a smile.
"Alas! Back then, I was down-and-out, and no one knew! If it hadn't been for the sudden thought later, how could I have today's happiness by transporting goods by giving darts to others?" Ma Yingxiong said this, and slowly stood up, "It's a pity that the 'Iron Horse Dart Bureau' I founded has become more and more bleak today with the old man getting old!"
Luo Qiushui hurriedly persuaded: "Uncle, don't be so sad! Although the business of the dart game is not as good as before, there is only one in the world! Uncle should be relieved, don't think about it!"
"That's right! In the whole world, there is only one dart game!" Ma Yingxiong said this, and suddenly laughed very happily, "It seems that this is a unique business, what else do I have to worry about! Come, drink tea!"
Luo Qiushui hurriedly raised the teacup and took a sip, but said in his heart: "Uncle is really old!"
The real dart game should start at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and there was no dart game in the Northern Song Dynasty.
At that time, only the post station had a function similar to the dart board, but the post station was mostly used by the official, and the private business was rarely involved, Ma Yingxiong saw this business opportunity, so he devoted himself to it, and created an organization similar to the dart board that served private merchants in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Because the operation of this organization is similar to that of the dart bureau in the Ming and Qing dynasties, this book named his organization the dart game.
While sipping tea, the two chatted about some family things, but at this time, they saw a maid walk in.
Without waiting for Ma Yingxiong to ask, the maid said: "Madame has set up a banquet in the garden of the east wing, and I have come to invite the master and the son to the banquet!"
Ma Yingxiong immediately got up and said, "Virtuous nephew, since the banquet has been prepared, let's go to the banquet, shall we?"
Luo Qiushui hurriedly got up and accompanied Ma Yingxiong to the garden of the East Wing.
This garden is the garden where the osmanthus was transplanted that day, and at this time, a banquet has already been set up for Luo Qiushui and the others.
When Luo Qiushui arrived there, Mrs. Ma had already laughed like a flower, and said loudly: "Virtuous nephew, we waited hard yesterday, if it weren't for the housekeeper reporting that you had returned home, I'm afraid I'm still worried about you now!"
"Uncle Lao is worried, and the little nephew is ashamed!" Luo Qiushui said hurriedly.
"Okay, it's over, let's get into the table quickly!" Mrs. Ma said and took Luo Qiushui's hand and walked to a square rosewood table in the courtyard, where there were already a lot of cold dishes, melons and fruits.
Luo Qiushui waited for Ma Yingxiong and Mrs. Ma to sit down, and then bent down to sit down, at this time, Mrs. Ma ordered: "Quickly invite Miss to the table!"
"Yes!"
The maid behind Mrs. Ma immediately walked out of the garden, and when she didn't take a moment, she saw a person wearing a pink narrow-sleeved short coat and a pink long skirt, with a whole color, walking gracefully, and the indescribable small and flexible between her steps, Luo Qiushui looked at it and almost exhaled: "Young Master Ma?"
Ma Ruyu smiled faintly, sat down in front of the table, glanced at Luo Qiushui, pursed his lips and smiled: "Brother Luo, don't you know you?"
Luo Qiushui blinked his eyes and smiled: "It turns out that he is an old man!"
"Why, you know?" said Mrs. Ma with a puzzled expression.
"That's right, we've met!" Ma Rushuang blushed and said with a smile: "I just didn't expect to meet here today!"
When Ma Yingxiong saw this, he hurriedly got up and pointed at Ma Rushuang and said, "This is the little girl Rushuang!"
"I've seen Miss!" Luo Qiushui hurriedly got up and said.
Ma Rushuang also got up and saluted back, and then said, "He doesn't need to be introduced, I know him!"
Ma Yingxiong immediately smiled and said, "That's good, everyone sit down!"
At this time, a few girls came from outside the garden, walked in with some hot dishes, placed them neatly on the table one by one, and then stood aside and remained silent.
Luo Qiushui looked at a table of dishes, and said secretly in his heart: "This table of wine and food is as good as the table in Tianxianglou, I don't know how much it costs!"
At this time, Mrs. Ma smiled and said, "Don't be stunned!
At this time, Ma Rushuang raised her chopsticks and gave Luo Qiushui a candied date first, and said with a smile: "This candied date is the sweetest, the son can taste it first!"
She used dates and people, which clearly implied that Luo Qiushui was "early" to say the secret things in her heart!
Luo Qiushui immediately understood and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss!"
He got up himself, picked up the wine jug, poured a glass for everyone at the table, and then raised his glass and said with a smile: "For such a festival, you must not drink calamus wine! Everyone is not an outsider, so I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and I will toast everyone with a glass first!"
Mrs. Ma glanced at Ma Yingxiong with a very satisfied smile, and Ma Yingxiong immediately raised his glass and said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew is very right, come!
After a glass of wine, Luo Qiushui immediately frowned and said, "The little nephew has something to explain to his uncle and aunt!"
When Ma Rushuang heard this, her face turned red, and she immediately got up and said, "I'll go down for a while, and come over immediately!"
"Miss, please!" Luo Qiushui said hurriedly.
"Okay, what are you going to do?" Mrs. Ma hurriedly stopped, but after glancing at Ma Rushuang, she immediately smiled and said, "You go and come back quickly!"
Waiting for Ma Rushuang to come out of the garden, Luo Qiushui got up and said: "The little nephew's business is all over Jiangnan, and there are a lot of chores every day, so it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time!
"Nephew Xian has only been here for a day yesterday, is he too anxious?" said Mrs. Ma. smiled.
At this time, I saw Ma Decai hurriedly walked in from outside the garden, and after hesitation, he boldly walked into Ma Yingxiong's ear and muttered, and then, Ma Yingxiong smiled and said: "That's right, your aunt is very right, you just came here, you should stay a few more days, how can you return to Jiangnan in a hurry?"
"The little nephew is indeed entangled in important matters, and it is really inconvenient to live here for a long time, and I hope that my uncle and aunt will observe and fulfill it!" Luo Qiushui said very sincerely.
"In that case, how about I discuss it with your aunt?" said Ma Yingxiong with a smile.
"That's very good!" Luo Qiushui said.
When Ma Yingxiong said this, he glanced at his wife, and the two walked out of the garden together.
