Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng was a little surprised.

?

Not to mention the prominent status of Pingxi Hou, men in this world, such as Qin Shou, who has no money and no status, always think about having girls on both sides.

?

But the Marquis of Pingxi in front of him, although he was a marquis, claimed that the backyard of the marquis's mansion was quiet.

?

A quiet backyard means there aren't many people in it. At least after Xie Xiangyu marries him, she won't have to deal with all those beautiful girls.

?

Xie Liuzheng didn't believe this answer, but she had a hunch that Pingxi Hou had never lied to her.

?

After all, in such matters, the truth can be known with a little inquiry. Xie Liuzheng felt that there was no need for Zhou Zheng to lie to her.

?

Because verification is easy.

?

There is no need for the other party to lie.

?

As a result, Xie Liuzheng looked at Zhou Zheng with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

?

In this dynasty where men are respected, Zhou Zheng was able to keep himself clean despite being in such a position. Such men are truly rare.

?

More importantly, such an outstanding man is fond of his mother. Xie Liuzheng, who was worried that her mother was blocking her heart, felt that Zhou Zheng's timing of appearance was just right.

?

Of course, Xie Liuzheng will make a decision only after she verifies everything.

?

Even though she had already accepted the existence of Zhou Zheng as her stepfather, Xie Liuzheng would not show it until she verified whether what he said was true or not.

?

"Thank you, sir, for answering my daughter's questions! I won't bother you anymore."

?

After saying that, Xie Liuzheng walked away.

?

Zhou Zheng looked at the little girl's back as she left, feeling helpless. "What an interesting little girl."

?

Then he asked someone to clean up the room and went to see Xie Xiangyu.

?

But when he arrived at the place, Zhou Zheng was still rejected.

?

But Zhou Zheng was not angry. When he heard that Xie Xiangyu didn't want to see him, he went back obediently.

?

The next day, the ship arrived at Penglai Port.

?

Xie Liuzheng helped Xie Xiangyu get off the boat and were about to look for silk merchants, but they never expected that as soon as they got off the boat, they saw several merchants waiting for them there.

?

"Excuse me, are you the head of the Xie family in Yangzhou? My surname is Fang, and I am the owner of Dingfeng Silk in Penglai. Madam Xie, would you like to come and have a seat in the store?"

?

A chubby middle-aged man walked up and bowed.

?

A tall and thin man beside him was not happy, "Fang Tianming, what do you mean, are you trying to cut me off? I was here before you. Even if the Xie family lady wants to see it, she should see my silk first!"

?

"Thank you, Madam. I'm from Dai's Silk. We have the best quality silk in Penglai at a reasonable price. We run our business with integrity and never cheat anyone!"

?

For a moment, Xie Xiangyu and the others were surrounded by the crowd.

?

Xie Liuzheng was a little surprised by this. They had just arrived and no one should know that they had arrived in Penglai today. But how did these merchants know that they wanted to purchase a large amount of silk?

?

Suddenly Xie Liuzheng thought of Qiuyue. Perhaps they had arrived in Penglai in advance and arranged everything.

?

But as more and more merchants came, Xie Liuzheng gradually realized that Qiuyue and others could not have such appeal.

?

Especially when the major merchants were bidding prices, they would involuntarily look behind them.

?

The answer is ready to come out.

?

The person standing behind her was none other than Pingxi Hou Zhou Zheng!

?

Only Zhou Zheng could have such appeal that the famous silk merchant on Penglai Island could come to the Xie family in person to discuss business.

?

Only Zhou Zheng could gather so many silk merchants at once.

?

Xie Liuzheng is now becoming more and more satisfied with his stepfather.

?

He not only solved their big business problems, but also helped them save a lot of time.

?

Afterwards, Xie Xiangyu brought people to inspect the goods and the deal was completed in just an incense stick of time.

?

Even merchants in Penglai do not require a deposit.

?

Xie Liuzheng deliberately asked Fang Tianming, "Boss Fang, since ancient times, people have had to pay a certain deposit to do business, and then pay the balance when the goods arrive. Why are you so generous that you don't even want a deposit? Aren't you afraid that we will change our minds and not buy your silk?"

?

This was exactly what Xie Xiangyu was worried about, and she couldn't help but prick up her ears and listen.

?

Fang Tianming answered very frankly, "I have already received the deposit. Besides, Lord Pingxi has personally guaranteed it. What else do I have to worry about?"

?

Hearing this, Xie Xiangyu looked back with a complicated expression, and unexpectedly met Zhou Zheng's eyes.

?

This time, Xie Xiangyu did not quickly look away, but stared at him for a long time.

?

Zhou Zheng saw that they were talking about him, so he stepped forward and took the initiative to explain, "In fact, I didn't do anything. I just asked someone to invite all the bosses to the port to discuss business in advance."

?

Zhou Zheng did good things but did not seek credit for them, which made Xie Liuzheng even more satisfied with him.

?

"Mother, Lord Pingxi is really amazing! This saves us a lot of time. If we ship the goods now, we will be able to catch up with the delivery."

?

Xie Xiangyu nodded, and she couldn't help but take Xie Liuzheng to thank Pingxi Hou.

?

"Thank you for your help, my Lord. The Xie family is grateful. If there is anything you need help from the Xie family, just let me know."

?

Xie Xiangyu still tried her best to distance herself from the other party. Since she had received the other party's help, she would naturally repay him with gratitude.

?

But that's about it.

?

Zhou Zheng smiled and didn't say anything, but Xie Liuzheng looked at him with disdain.

?

"Mother, why are you so cold? The Marquis not only saved our lives, but he has also helped us solve our business problems. You must thank him. How about inviting the Marquis to stay in your house for a few days?"

?

Xie Xiangyu naturally didn't want to have anything to do with Zhou Zheng anymore. She was about to refuse, but Xie Liuzheng walked over first and invited Zhou Zheng.

?

"My Lord, if you have time, you can come to Yangzhou City for a gathering. My mother and I would like to thank you very much."

?

Xie Xiangyu was somewhat helpless, but she quickly said, "The Marquis of Pingxi is very busy with official duties, and Zheng'er should not be rude. The Marquis has no time..."

?

"Who said that I don't have time? I have wanted to visit Yangzhou City for a long time. This is a good opportunity to bother you."

?

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zheng agreed without hesitation, which made Xie Xiangyu want to stop him, but it was her daughter who suggested it.

?

If she tried to stop it, her daughter would definitely be unhappy.

?

In the end, Xie Xiangyu had no choice but to acquiesce to this matter.

?

Zhou Zheng looked at Xie Liuzheng, and they smiled at each other.

?

It seemed as if some kind of agreement had been reached.

?

Xie Xiangyu knew nothing about this. She was thinking that she would have a good talk with Xie Liuzheng when she returned to Yangzhou.

?

But she is not allowed to act on her own anymore.

?

It’s obvious that this child doesn’t like Pingxi Hou, so why is he suddenly getting close to him?

?

Xie Xiangyu was puzzled and could only keep it to herself.

?

With a full load of goods, Xie Liuzheng and her crew returned.

?

Because of his title as Marquis of Pingxi and the fact that he was escorted by a boatload of soldiers, no one dared to trip him up.

?

In this way, Xie Xiangyu arrived in Yangzhou City with five ships full of silk.

?

Shopkeeper Li only received the news as soon as he arrived in Yangzhou City.
