Number of romantic figures

Chapter 669
With a bang, the courtyard door was thrown open, Feng Ziying frowned, looked over through the window lattice, saw two stumbling drunk men slanting in, and shook her head.

Feng Ziying left before the listing opening ceremony was over.

The people in the officialdom just came here to slap Feng Ziying to show their face, even if they gave Feng Ziying enough face.

The rest are people from the business world, so naturally Duan Xigui and Jia Lian will socialize.

"Ziying, Ziying!"

Duan Xigui's face was flushed, reeking of alcohol, he walked in, and leaned against the door frame, while Jia Lian's face was blue, also reeking of alcohol, his body swayed to and fro, leaning against the wall.

"Aren't you going to send the two masters to rest?" Feng Ziying frowned and scolded the servants who followed the two.

"No, Ziying, Second Master Lian and I just came over and said a few words before going back, but we didn't vomit!" Duan Xigui took a deep breath and tried his best to behave normally.

"Oh?" Feng Ziying was very curious, "What do you want to say, cousin?"

"Ziying, Haitong Yinzhuang may be the destination of my life. I want to do it well and do my best. Today is a very good start, do you know? How much, do you know?" Duan Xigui stared at Feng Ziying.

"Cousin, I remember that you have been in contact with each other in the early stage? On this first day, people must come to show you face." Feng Ziying didn't bother to guess, this was all agreed in the early stage, let's join in today Counting, just a formality.

"No, Ziying, these 96 households are not the ones I said before, nor are they the nursery I found, but they came to the door by themselves. Let me tell you, Yinzhuang received eight deposits from outsiders today. Fifty thousand, 430 taels, a total of 96 households came to deposit silver, the largest one deposited 2000 taels, and the least one deposited 80 taels! But I didn’t find them, and they had never even met before, nor dealt with!"

Duan Xigui waved his hands wildly, "Ziying, do you only know what this means? It means that our signboard has been launched, and everyone is willing to believe us! I don't care about the deposit of tens of thousands of taels of silver. I care about these 96 households. Some of them are gentry in Yangzhou city, some are petty officials in the city, some are merchants and landowners outside the city, and even the tortoise geisha on the Slender West Lake. Don't care about their identities, this means that almost everyone in the city recognizes our Haitong Yinzhuang!"

Indeed, Duan Xigui was very accurate. If he relied purely on the big merchants in the city, he would be bright for a while, but if most of the 96 households were not supported by the backbone groups inside and outside Yangzhou, this Haitong Yinzhuang can't last long.

"If everyone inside and outside Yangzhou City trusts our Haitong Bank, then our Bank will be able to firmly occupy the leading position in Yangzhou City in the future. This step will be considered stable, and there are three more companies coming to discuss loans today. Regarding the matter, I had a preliminary contact with Lian Erye, and we all know the basics. The money turnover is not enough, and I plan to borrow 5 taels of silver,..."

It's no wonder that Duan Xigui lost his composure and got off to a good start. In such a situation, it's no wonder he got carried away, which is understandable.

"Ziying, Xigui and I have overdosed, but today we are really excited. Everything went smoothly than we imagined. Before, Xigui and I didn't know what to do. Even if we can invite many Guests, the key is that people come, believe it or not, it’s meaningless to leave after looking around.”

Jia Lian was much more eloquent than Duan Xigui, although he was very excited, but under the circumstances that fit his status.His demeanor is even more admirable.

"Many people came here with a skeptical attitude, but seeing so many adults come to congratulate in person, and once the identities of several shareholders are revealed, these people are all hands and eyes, then naturally understand,... ..."

Jia Lian and Feng Ziying held Feng Ziying's hand and chatted for a long while, muttering, but Feng Ziying could only listen patiently.

Maybe it was the previous hard work that finally paid off. Both of them seemed to have got what they wanted, and it was no wonder that they drank a few more glasses at the banquet.

Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief when the two were sent away.

He can understand this kind of mood, the success is accomplished, the long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, the prospect is bright, and no one can avoid being intoxicated.

But for me, the most important thing is to come to an end, and the next two or three months are for Duan Xigui to stabilize the situation.

According to the agreement of several people, for these three months, Duan Xigui will be in charge, and Jia Lian will return to Yangzhou quickly after returning to the capital, and then three months later, Jia Lian will be in charge, Duan Xigui will assist, and Duan Xigui will rush to the capital to form the Jingshi in August. I rushed to Datong in July to set up the Datong account, and completed the establishment of the Sanjia account this year.

Feng Ziying also knew that there would inevitably be various hindrances and problems, but now that the Yangzhou ship has been opened, and Duan Xigui and Jia Lian have gained experience, these are no longer a problem.

********
Stepping into Daiyu's small courtyard, Feng Ziying can hear the sound of warblers and swallows, full of spring.

Feng Ziying also felt relieved.

Baochai, Tanchun, Xiangyun, and Yingchun Xichun were Daiyu's boudoir friends, and more than a month had passed since the incident, so Daiyu should have calmed down.

However, the news from Wu Yaoqing made Feng Ziying feel heavy.

There is a problem with Lin Ruhai's death from illness.

The dregs of the medicine have been kept there all the time. Although several doctors and decocting masters were asked to check, they couldn't see any clues, but the other doctors thought that it was impossible for Lin Ruhai to recover in just a few days because of Lin Ruhai's situation at that time. Passed away, at least it should be able to last for a month or two.

As for the evidence, Feng Ziying never had high expectations for the criminal investigation technology at this time, and it was impossible for Lin Ruhai's special status to investigate suspicions in this way.

Wu Yaoqing's investigation of the Jianghu figures also had a preliminary result.

Of the two most suspicious groups of people, one group was ruled out, but the group of people who went to Hangzhou became more suspicious.

The three people in that group were all from Chizhou Mansion, but they had been wandering around Jinling, Chizhou and Taiping Mansions for a long time, and they had some connection with some big local salt lords in Chizhou.

Moreover, the whereabouts of these three people are also very suspicious. It seems that they are deliberately avoiding something. After going to Hangzhou, they made a detour to Jiangxi before returning to Chizhou. Most of these people should stay in Jinling.

As far as Wu Yaoqing's existing resources and capabilities are concerned, this is the only way to find out. He came to Yangzhou, and there is no other abnormal situation, and there is no evidence. Unless Feng Ziying also uses the power of the Jianghu people, you have no reason to move other side.

Feng Ziying would not stop there, although she told Daiyu that Lin Ruhai's condition had suddenly deteriorated, but Feng Ziying knew what was going on here.

Tao Guolu, the salt transport envoy, is very famous now. He even came to congratulate Haitong Yinzhuang when he was established, showing great kindness. However, in Feng Ziying's view, this person may be suspected. The person behind him is the biggest beneficiary and cannot escape.

But according to the news from Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing, Tao Guolu's connections in Jiangnan are extremely deep, even surpassing that of Lin Ruhai.

Although he himself is not from Nanzhi but from Huguang, he has been working in Nanzhi. Now he is in the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, and later in the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing. Finally, he entered the Salt Administration. It's just that she was not a Jinshi, which made it impossible for him. Assuming such an important position as the inspector and censor, the salt transport envoy is his limit, unless he is transferred to another position, and this situation is the best for him now.

But just Tao Guolu and Feng Ziying don't think he has such great ability.

Because even if Tao Guolu has this idea, even if Lin Ruhai dies, the higher-ups may immediately appoint a patrolling censor. It has a very complicated background.

Especially when he knew that he was engaged to Lin Ruhai's daughter, it was still the case, which made people even more suspicious.

"Uncle Feng is here." Zijuan, who was standing at the door and was talking with the girls and her own girl, first saw Feng Ziying stepping into the courtyard.

"Ah!" There was a rustling of clothes and exclamations in the room.

Feng Ziying strolled in, "Hey, all the sisters are here."

"Little sister has met Brother Feng." Baochai, Daiyu, Tanchun, Xiangyun, Yingchun and Xichun all stood up for a blessing.

Perhaps because of Lin Daiyu's filial piety, the girls are all dressed plainly, mainly in white and blue, with some brocade piping at most.

A few pairs of eyes like autumn water fell on Feng Ziying. Although Feng Ziying had already experienced many battles, she was still a little nervous in such a situation.

Well, I was really nervous, which made Feng Ziying a little funny.

"We're all in the same family. Don't be polite. Sister Lin is healthy?" Lin Daiyu was still sick when she came back from Suzhou, which made Feng Ziying very worried, but she seemed to look much better today.

"Thank you Brother Feng for your concern, my little sister is much better." It is reasonable to say that it is not appropriate for married couples to meet in private, but under such circumstances, Daiyu has become an orphan, and there are so many sisters to accompany her, so it's okay.

Hearing that Daiyu's words were still somewhat nasal, Feng Ziying nodded, "Spring covers autumn, Sister Lin and all sisters should be careful, we are about to set off to the north, the journey is far away, don't get sick gone."

going back?

The girls were all overjoyed, but when they thought of Lin Daiyu, they didn't make a sound.

Seeing that Daiyu was silent, Baochai responded softly, "Have you finished dealing with Brother Feng's affairs?"

"It's almost there, there are still some side issues, and it will be over in two days, so I'll discuss it with my sisters. If it's okay, we will leave for the north in three days." Feng Ziying said softly: "It's time to go back."

　Let's make a transition, and officially enter the turbulent situation after returning to Beijing.
