Chapter 3

Murong Qianqiu has a lot of bad records, and Sui Li is the remnant of the Twelve Serial Docks. Master, why are you helping them?

Back at Chenyuan, Linglong finally couldn't help asking, even Wuxia was confused after hearing the incident: Isn't Murong Qianqiu selling private salt? Why are you the boss of a brothel again?

As a young master, my woman should stop me from doing things in the world, nor do I care about how I act! What's wrong with the brothel boss? Young master, I still have to be a brothel boss! I said frankly. Listening to their words, I knew that their understanding of the sinister world was not as good as me who had just entered the world for less than two months. The Chunshui Sword Sect was really destroyed, otherwise it would also become an unnecessary victim in the battle between the Dajiang League and the Murong Family.

Wuxia and Linglong listened to my harsh words and suddenly lost their appearance. Wuxia and Yuling hurriedly said to me. Only Yulong mustered up the courage and snuggled into my arms and said coquettishly: I also care about you.

If you care more about it, it will become a hot summer steam. The fragrance of Yulong's body is overflowing. Through the thin summer shirt, I can easily feel the freshness of her youthful body. I can't help but get excited.

The firm clone was pressing against Yulong's private parts, which made her feel distracted, and her eyes suddenly became a little confused, but because it was flawless, she didn't dare to be careless, and she looked like she was begging for mercy on her face.

Although Dajiang League is good, it has no connection with me. Moreover, the world can maintain a balance of power to calm the waves. We always hope to live a peaceful life. Even if someone wants to break the balance of power and cause trouble, I hope that my friends can win the final victory.

Getting angry is just a means for me, and I still tell my plan. So my goal is to make the Murong family strong enough to resist the rapid development of Dajiang League, thus forming a new balance of power. However, I was secretly scolding Murong Qianqiu, everyone was selling private salt, but they sold out different realms. Although the Dajiang League made illegal money, he built bridges and roads, accumulated good deeds, and did a lot of good deeds, and became the Buddha of the Wanjia Family on the south of the Yangtze River. Thinking about Murong again, he could only sigh secretly.

Wuxia asked timidly: Master, do you really want to be the boss of a brothel?

I casually responded, saying: In fact, in the battle for hegemony in the world, besides martial arts and wisdom, there are only two things, one is silver, just like two armies fighting, compared to logistics supply; the other is spy, and grandson said, "The affairs of the three armies are not close to the room, the reward is not more important than the room, and the affairs are not more important than the room." What is the reason? It is not because spys are important in the world, and spys are informants. I just want to be the biggest informant in the world. If I know everything, I will be able to avoid danger and walk like a barbarian.

This is also one of my purpose of returning to Yangzhou. The fireworks in Yangzhou have been prosperous since ancient times. Now, four or five famous prostitutes in Jiangdong are in Yangzhou. The four-colored prostitutes in Yangzhou are Li Yu in Tianxianglou, Sun Bi in Wenxiangyuan, Su Jin in Tingyue Pavilion and King Qu in Bitaotai are well-known throughout the world. And the four little romances and ten flowers are also well-known. If you can ask two or three to go south, it will be of great benefit to the operation of Qinlou in the future.

No matter how Murong Qianqiu looks, he was the boss of the Tingyue Pavilion who did a better job. I said to myself that Yulong next to him had already started to chatter and report Murong Qianqiu's impression to Wuxia. Xiao Xiao was meticulous and asked: Master, the atmosphere in the martial arts world is tense. Will Sister Su go to Suhang this time?

My heart suddenly became tight, yes, although Dajiang League focuses on reputation, no one who wants to please Qi Fang in the newly joined sects wants to please Qi Fang. Grab the top card of Tingyue Pavilion, which will definitely be a big blow to Murong's business. Murong is cunning, and he will not have thought of this. Is Su Jin's heart that I really can't contain, or...

I was about to call Mr. Li, the old housekeeper in Chenyuan, but I remembered that he had already been sick and returned to his hometown. After the master passed away, he almost cut off all the male servants, leaving only Mr. Li. Now Shenyuan is really useless

It seems that reorganizing Chenyuan is inevitable. One of the main purposes of the master's wife is to let me become a new generation of Chenyuan owners smoothly. However, a trip to Jiangnan made me gradually become interested in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Should I go out to explore a new world and leave Chenyuan for my master's wife to support me?

But this is all the future. What I care about now is Su Jin. After looking at the four girls of the Servant, Wuxia was inconvenient to walk around the world. Although Linglong was under the banner of the Chunshui Sword Sect, it would be unobstructed in Jiangnan, but her sisters were too simple and didn't know Su Jin. I knew that I could only leave the matter to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao, you set off to Suzhou immediately and visit Su Jin in Hangzhou. Be sure to find her. It is best to take her to Suzhou Zhuyuan. If it really doesn't work, you can protect her and return to Yangzhou as soon as possible.

He also ordered Linglong to say: You will also set off for Suzhou and wait for Sun Miao there. If she has great benefits in the future, I will rush to Suzhou to meet you as soon as I have completed the matters in Yangzhou.

Although Linglong is newly married, she doesn't want to separate from me, but she knows that her husband's orders cannot be violated. She nodded in agreement with her little mouth.

After one afternoon, the three girls disguised themselves and left Chenyuan separately. I went to the four major romances in Yangzhou. Murong was grateful and actually gave up his second-person, Ji Xiaoxian, one of the four little girls in Yangzhou. He also said that he had a large number of girls in his hands for four or five months, which could almost be used. If you need it, give me the capital.

Brother, all the well-known figures in the world know that Tingyue Pavilion is the industry of my Murong Shi family. Once a war starts, Tingyue Pavilion will definitely be the first to bear the brunt of it, so even Su Jin, I will give up. Of course, she can marry you, let me tell you the truth, the four major members of Fengyue in Yangzhou, there are three companies that I Murong Shi family control, and the remaining ones also have my shares. Tingyue Pavilion, hehe, that's just a cover.

When he said this, Murong Qianqiu showed a hint of cunning expression on his fat face, and there was only one person beside him, Sui Li, who was silent.

Naturally, a group of literati and students gathered together at night. Yangzhou is a thoroughfare and the news is very well-informed. So the court discussions became the theme of after-dinner dinner. What surprised me was that for Gui E and Fang Xianfu's memorial, the comments were actually the ones who spoke of the word "Mèi" invited the favor. However, there was no news of the teacher coming to Beijing, so I felt a little relieved.

The next morning, I came to Jiyuezhai with Wuxia. Although I put the breakthrough to Jiyuezhai on Li Kuanren, I could get close to him without any trace. I would probably have to think about it in Yangzhou.

However, after dealing with Song Tingzhi and Li Kuanren, I knew that Jiyuezhai was definitely Bao Daxiang's strongest rival. The familiar figures I saw in the store made me realize that Bao Daxiang's territory in Yangzhou had been eroded most of it. If it weren't for Yin Baoting, I would even want to persuade Bao Daxiang to put the business to Jiyuezhai, so that I would have spared no effort, but in the end, both sides suffered a loss.

The shopkeeper of the Yangzhou store in Jiyuezhai was very enthusiastic when he heard me report my name. He thought that when I came to Suzhou, I had already passed on my luxury. In fact, I had no clear purpose in coming to Jiyuezhai. Fortunately, I wanted to dress up such a beautiful woman, which was its specialty. I threw down 18,000 taels of silver and received Wuxia's joy.

Leaving Jiyuezhai, I turned my head and swayed into Baodaxiang Store, which was separated by the street, no longer the hustle and bustle of the past, and there were only two or three guests deserted.

The shopkeeper Li Dagong was shaking the paper fan and watching the guy explain something with dry mouth. When he saw me coming in, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he rushed to me in three steps and two steps. My eldest master, you are finally back

His round face was really excited. When he saw the unparalleled flawlessness in the blink of an eye, he couldn't help but smile: My good young master, I have to let me, Old Li, whatever I say today, go back to Zhang.

I felt a little sorry for Li Dagong's energetic look six months ago suddenly flashed into my mind. Seeing that there seemed to be a lot more white hair on his head, I think Bao Daxiang's business has made him worry about the past six months

Of course, the nobles have always loved my uncle and me very much. How could I have a new love and forget my old love? I laughed and said, there were other customers in the store, and I didn’t know if Li Dagong’s status in Bao Daxiang was enough to let him understand the special relationship between me and Miss Yin Er, so his words became an official scene.

When Li Dagong twisted and posed out the newly produced jewelry, I sighed in my heart. The innovative styles and meticulous handicrafts that Bao Daxiang relied on to become famous seemed to be gone. The jewelry in front of me really couldn't arouse my desire to buy. It seems that the departure of the six major players at the same time really reduced Bao Daxiang's craftsmanship level by several%. Even Wuxia, who had a slight understanding of jewelry, could see the gap between it and Jiyuezhai. With this strength, I think there is only a dead end to compete with Jiyuezhai.

Unfortunately, the owner of my account left Yangzhou in the morning

It was a coincidence that Li Dagong didn't seem to have any other meaning when he spoke, and I just agreed that I was passing by Hangzhou when I went to Yuyao Teacher, so I spent some silver to buy some jewelry to give to Chen Xiyi's wife and his sister Chen Xijue. Then I was depressed and left Bao Daxiang

Is there a problem with Feng Shui? Su Jin and Yin Baoting, two women I was eager to see, passed by one by one. I really felt a little overwhelmed, but I was flawless and simple-minded. Looking at the Fuchun Tea House not far from Bao Daxiang, I acted coquettishly and said: Master, Fuchun’s Sandeng buns, jade fired, have you not eaten for a few years, so let’s eat them there at noon

Is Mrs. Qi's cooking skills not to your taste? I walked towards Fuchun while smiling. In fact, Wuxia is a woman who can enter the kitchen. However, although I know that Chunshui's mind method has the effect of maintaining her beauty, I don't want her ice-skinned skin to be smoked and fire. Wuxia has lost many opportunities to make spoons for me.

I found a private room to sit down. The guy just delivered the food, but heard a tiny sound of footsteps outside the door. Although it was a little rapid, it was still full of a moving rhythm. Just as my heart suddenly moved, a tender white hand was placed on the door curtain. I saw the curtain lifting, revealing the face of a plain girl. However, the bright eyes that were as bright as the stars made me feel familiar.

Baoting!

An inexplicable joy suddenly surged in my heart, and at this moment I realized that this girl had left a deep mark in my heart. So I blurted out her name, but let her voice stop suddenly. A hint of suspicion appeared in my eyes, which were as joyful as me. However, in a blink of an eye, I saw a little restrained and flawless, and the suspicion suddenly turned into surprise: Yu, Master Yu?!

The concubine Yu Wuxia, the jade lady said that Miss Yin should be the aunt of the concubine, the wife of the Chunshui Sword Sect! In a moment, Wuxia returned to calmness.

When I saw Baoting clearly, I felt heartbroken. This girl who should have lived a happy life like a bell and tripod, now she looked like a frightened bird. Although she was wearing a goose yellow pair of clothes on her body, it was not the lake silk in Baoyuefang but the ordinary coarse cloth. There was not even a follower around her.

Li Dagong said she had left Yangzhou. It seems that the truth is not the case. I know that something might be wrong with Bao Daxiang’s Yangzhou store, but in the morning I saw that Li Dagong looked like something was wrong, and I was full of doubts.

However, Baoting quickly calmed down like Wuxia, and shouted while bowing to Wuxia. Sister Yu made Wuxia busy and returned the gift.

I asked Baoting to sit down and smiled and said: Your sisters have time to be intimate in the future. Don’t be in a hurry at Baoting for a while. Are you showing signs of Li Dagong’s unstable outfit?

Seeing the opportunity of her coming, she obviously intended to wait for me nearby, and asked again: How long have you been waiting for me here?

A hint of shyness flashed in Baoting's eyes, but his face did not change at all. I know that's because of disguise, but her disguise technique is extremely clever, and her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are still clearly written on her face. If you don't observe carefully, you can't see any traces of disguise. It sounds even more brilliant than Master's disguise.

It seems that Bao Daxiang has hidden dragons and there are probably strangers in the world who are not born in the world.

I thought to myself, but I heard Baoting say: The eldest brother's eyes look like a torch. When the concubine left Bao Daxiang in the morning, I happened to see her brother, so I asked the servant to carry the empty sedan chair back to Hangzhou. The concubine was waiting for the eldest brother at Fuchun.

She took a breath and continued: There was something wrong with the Yangzhou store, but it was not Li Dagong, but his wife and uncle, Yang Xi, who was responsible for custody of the goods. Moreover, he seemed to have contact with people in the world, but his younger sister could not replace him now. Li Dagong is an old subordinate who has been with his father for more than 20 years, and always has to give him some face. After saying that, he sighed helplessly.

It turned out that Yin Baoting inspected his sub-collection and went to Yangzhou to find that most of the top-quality gold, silver and gem materials originally issued by the headquarters were transferred, and the business of the Yangzhou sub-collection also plummeted. Although this is due to the fact that Jiyuezhai is closely related to competition, Bao Daxiang's own quality decline is also an important reason.

It would be better if it wasn't for Li Dagong. I don't want her to be hit too much. Her delicate shoulders have already been under too much pressure. Can Bao Daxiang still support her?

My concern made Baoting's eyes turn red. Thanks to the 200,000 taels of silver from my elder brother, she wanted to get up to thank her. I hurriedly pressed her shoulders. Even with the round shoulders, she could still feel the plump skin of her skin, Baoting's shy head hung deeply, which made me see the red ears.

My heart swayed, but I saw Wuxia secretly pursed her lips from the corner of my eyes.

Baoting calmed down and said: Master Liang is guiding the newly acquired disciples. As long as you persist for another five or seven months, Bao Daxiang will survive this difficult situation.

It will take so long? After thinking about it, I thought that with the current situation of Bao Daxiang, I would probably lose 150,000 to 200,000 taels of silver in one month. Because looking at the jewelry price in the Yangzhou store, it is obvious that I would lose money to take out. It costs 800,000 taels of silver in five months. Even if the Chen Yuan family has a big business, I am afraid that I will not be able to bring out so much cash.

Brother, don’t make things difficult. My father is ready to sell the land in Yingtianfu, and it is estimated that it will be supported for half a year.

I shook my head, Baoting, Bao Daxiang's every move is probably under the gaze of others. It won't take long to sell the land to everyone know it. If everyone loses confidence in Bao Daxiang, it will be difficult to get back to the sky.

Baoting obviously understood the truth here. Hearing this, I couldn't help but be deeply locked in my eyebrows. I remembered the jewelry from the Twelve Serial Docks and said: Baoting, I have a batch of jewelry of unknown origin here. I don't know if Bao Daxiang can be sold. If it can be sold, I can also withdraw 200,000 taels of cash silver. The two can be combined to at least three months. When the grain rent is collected in autumn, Shenyuan will have about one million taels of cash silver for you to call.

Baoting raised his head, his bright eyes were full of gratitude, I didn't thank you, brother, if it's convenient, come to Hangzhou as soon as possible... Her voice was getting lower and lower, and it was almost impossible to hear it at the end.

I know, Baoting's words meant to give her body a promise, which made me feel very happy. I didn't expect that she would win her heart so easily, but I quickly woke up. I was afraid that most of the gratitude would be included. I laughed in my heart. Baoting, I will be in Suzhou tomorrow. Once I finish dealing with the matter there, I will go to Hangzhou to propose marriage.

I originally wanted to go to Yuyao to accompany my teacher Yangminggong. I happened to pass by Hangzhou, so I decided to settle the marriage with Baoting to avoid long nights and dreams.

I took Baoting back to Chenyuan with me. Baoting was shy and didn't know what identity to use to meet the five master's wives. I didn't force myself to see the jewelry I brought back from Taihu Lake. Baoting's brows gradually frowned.

Brother, there are probably really problems with these jewelry. She picked up a pair of exquisitely crafted gold-painted hairpins. This pair of Youfeng Laiyi hairpins was originally created by Bao Daxiang for the third lady of his former prefect Xu, the prefect of Yingtian. Her husband's family was robbed three years ago and she came to Bao Daxiang to report the loss. Let us pay attention to this pair of hairpins.

She picked out a pair of jade rings from a pile of jewelry. Although it looks ordinary and has no marks, I dare to say that this must be the pair of Leng Lu brothers who were robbed with Youfeng Laiyi's hairpin. Put it on and see if it makes me feel a little cool?

I tried it and it turns out that this is true. I think every piece of these seemingly ordinary jewelry has its origin in the eyes of experts. These jewelry are originally from the wrong place.

I have told the origin of the jewelry. It is not realistic to return these jewelry to the original owner now. If you ask where they come from, you can't tell me if you have a mouth. Baoting, can you see if you can process it and then sell it? Those owners will repay them if they have the chance in the future.

Baoting frowned, as if he was worried, and he stopped talking again and again. After a while, he said: It is unlikely that these jewelry are not rare masterpieces, but only Master Liang can have such skills at present. But he is Fang Zheng. If he knew that the origin of these jewelry was unknown, he would have to anger him to death to death. The remaining disciples had not yet achieved success. It was a pity that these jewelry...

Although Baoting's words were tactful, I knew she had made up her mind not to use these twelve series of docks, which made me more admire. Although she devoted herself to the business world of intrigue, she still retained a piece of pure land in her heart.

However, I couldn't afford to pay. Under Bao Daxiang's survival pressure, Baoting also knew that these jewelry might save Bao Daxiang from falling soon. The situation forced her to compromise. She chose some jewelry with extremely ordinary styles but very exquisite workmanship, and said that she would take it back to Hangzhou to discuss with my future old Taishan before making a decision.
