Sunrise in the East - Smile Allure

Only when you are an ideal candidate will you say these requirements.If I wanted to find a man to accompany me simply because I couldn't get close to women, why would I wait until now?The world is so big, only you, Big Brother Dongfang, can make me fall in love. "

He Qicheng's words were extremely natural, and every sentence came from the heart.Dongfang Bubai had never heard He Qicheng make such a formal confession. Even if he had great concentration, his heart still couldn't help beating wildly. After a while, he turned his face away and said in a low voice: "Who is going to be your favorite?"

He Qicheng fell in love with Dongfang Bubai's awkward appearance, and couldn't help kissing on the white neck, which shocked Dongfang Bubai so much that he fell back far away, his chest heaved unsteadily, his face was red and white with anger, and he was angry. Said: "What are you doing?"

He Qicheng thought regretfully in his heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Dongfang, you seem to have something stuck on your neck, I just removed it for you. By the way, just now in the front hall, what do you think about Mrs. Li? Look at her with a bit of disdain?"

Dongfang Bubai naturally wouldn't believe He Qicheng's nonsense, but when he thought that his sweetheart could not help kissing him outside, he couldn't help feeling a little bit ashamed, so he couldn't help but get angry.When he heard He Qicheng asked about Li Shi, he snorted coldly and said: "This woman who is easygoing and flirtatious!"

He Qicheng couldn't help wondering: "How do you say that?"

Dongfang Bubai said: "When we entered the front hall, I saw her pass behind Sanyu from a distance, and secretly held hands with Changyu. No wonder your second brother suspected that Changyu could not tolerate his child, I am afraid that the child It's a question whether you're surnamed He or not!"

He Qicheng frowned and said: "It stands to reason that neither Erniang nor Xiwu would let them mess around, but we must be wary of Changyu's attempt to imitate Lu Buwei's strange goods. This matter is related to Xiwu's wish, and we must not give half of it." Mistake. Brother Dongfang, do you have a way to find out if the two of them have an affair?"

Dongfang Bubai smiled and said, "I have plenty of ways to get people to tell the truth, it depends on which one you want me to deal with. Or do you want me to interrogate both of them so that they can match their confessions?"

He Qicheng pondered for a moment and said: "Ms. Li is already pregnant, so it's not appropriate to touch her. It would be the best if you can get the truth out of Chang Yu's mouth without startling the snake."

Dongfang Bubai nodded and said: "That's simple. Just ask him to forget about it after the questioning. Would you like me to point him out as a fool by the way, so as to save you trouble at night?"

He Qicheng didn't expect Dongfang Bubai to have such miraculous martial arts, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up slightly, and said with a smile: "That's not necessary. Sanyu is just a villain with big ambitions and few talents. Erniang likes cronyism, so let her use him if she wants to use him." , I still have to rely on him to settle the matter of the He family. As long as I can find out whether the child is Qiwu's flesh and blood, that's enough."

Dongfang Bubai said: "Okay. I'll check now, where are you going next?"

He Qicheng pondered for a moment and said: "I'll meet with Lu Fei first, so I can arrange things for the evening. Let's meet in Taibai Tower! By the way, if you meet Qiwu, please tell him, Big Brother Dongfang, just say Let him take care, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say goodbye to him face to face this time."

Dongfang Bubai heard that He Qicheng was going to leave tonight, so he couldn't help but nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring the message to you."

He Qicheng went out to contact Lu Fei to arrange an arrangement, not to mention for the time being, and said that Dongfang Bubai turned around a few times, and then he got a clear picture of the upper and lower layout of the He family mansion.After thinking about it, he went straight to the courtyard where He Qiwu was.

He Qiwu was practicing Zheng in the courtyard.I saw him sitting on a mahogany round drum stool, plucking the strings with his fingers, but he couldn't make a tune.His brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.There is also a handsome young man who is standing aside respectfully holding a handkerchief.

Dongfang Bubai heard that there was no one else in the courtyard, so he jumped down from the wall and knocked the boy to the ground casually.He Qiwu was slightly startled, and recognized Dongfang Bubai, he couldn't help showing joy, stood up and greeted Dongfang Bubai.

Dongfang Bubai explained the purpose of his visit. When He Qiwu heard that his brother was leaving, his eyes turned red and he choked up, "Does Brother Dongfang know how to leave?"

Dongfang Bubai thought for a while and said: "The Taibai downstairs is Huishui. Qicheng said that he is going to Suzhou, so he should go directly by water."

He Qiwu sighed lightly: "Brother Dongfang, please tell Big Brother for me, that I will send him off when the time comes. Mountains are high and rivers are far away, let him take care of himself in the future."

Dongfang Bubai nodded in agreement, and asked about Li's residence.A smile appeared on He Qiwu's face: "Since she was pregnant, I sent her to my mother. Anyway, it is enough for me to have He Zheng and He Rong here, and it would be cumbersome if there are more people. Eldest brother doubts Li's Having an affair with cousin Chang Yu, that's why you asked Brother Dongfang to investigate?"

Dongfang Bubai didn't expect He Qiwu to know about Li Shi's indiscretion, and he was taken aback for a moment.

He Qiwu said again: "Don't bother Big Brother Dongfang, that child is indeed my own flesh and blood. Although Cousin Changyu may not have that kind of intention, but he hasn't had a chance to succeed with me. After I go, he dare not let him This child died young, we will definitely wait for him to be born, first use him to stabilize his position in the He family, and then find a way to get rid of him. At that time, we will have to rely on Big Brother and Big Brother Dongfang."

Dongfang Bubai saw that He Qiwu had seen it very clearly, so he nodded immediately and said goodbye to He Qiwu.Not long after he left the yard, there was a zither sound behind him, like a cuckoo crying blood, and the sound of sorrow was full.Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but heaved a long sigh after hearing this, thinking about how talented He Qiwu was to be tricked by a short-sighted, mean-spirited villain Sanyu, it's really embarrassing.Seeing that he was far away from Youshang, he immediately thought of another idea, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It is not difficult to find Chang Yu in the He residence.Dongfang Bubai only turned around two or three places before meeting someone at Mrs. He.He was convinced of He Qicheng's resourcefulness, so he didn't bother to eavesdrop on what Chang Yu and Mrs. He were discussing in the house, and just waited cross-legged on the roof.

The two talked for about half an hour before Chang Yu came out of the house, dismissed the maid who saw the guests away, looked around twice, turned around and went into a side room.Dongfang Bubai said inwardly that he was so shameless, and jumped to the opposite roof, lifted a tile and looked down.That Changyu was indeed so daring, that he secretly had a tryst with Mrs. Li in broad daylight.

Dongfang Bubai saw a little girl sleeping on the table in Li's room, and knew that Li had knocked him out beforehand so that he could wait for the adulterer to come to a private meeting, so he couldn't help but feel more contempt for Li.Fortunately, Mrs. Li still had a sense of propriety, first accepted Chang Yu's gift, then talked to him for a while, and finally refused to let Chang Yu get close to him, saying that she was pregnant.Changyu had no choice but to touch Li Shi's palm for a while, making a series of promises, and then reluctantly left the room.

The more Dongfang Bubai heard him talk, the more uncomfortable it became. He said for a while, "I have been in love with you for a long time, that's why I asked my aunt to marry you into the He family, so that we can share wealth and honor with you in the future." , kill the young ones, fool the old ones, the He family is yours and mine." He was already extremely impatient.After Chang Yu walked a few more steps, after making sure that there was no one around, he slapped Chang Yu unconscious with his palm, and tapped him a few times between his waist and abdomen.Dongfang Bubai thought for a while, but he still felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger, so he lightly tapped Yintang acupoint on the center of Sanyu's eyebrows, and only then did he relieve Sanyu's fainting acupoint.

Seeing that the people on the ground were about to wake up slowly, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but sneered and flew away.He just sealed several large points on the kidney meridian of Changyu's foot shaoyin. From now on, Sanyu will not only fail to lift for the rest of his life and become a half-eunuch, but also because Yintang point was injected with a burst of true energy by Dongfang Bubai. The rain will still be excruciatingly painful, and the end is unspeakable.

Dongfang Bubai looked up to see that it was still early, thought for a moment, and decided to follow Huishui to find the whereabouts of He Qicheng near Taibai Tower.I just feel that I haven't seen He Qicheng for half a day, and I've already begun to miss him faintly.

Part40

Taibai Building was originally called Wangjiang Building, because most of the residents in Jinxiu Town were farmers, and few people went to the restaurant to eat. The owner's management was poor decades ago, and He Qicheng's father bought it at a low price.

Later, the He family gradually prospered, and all the surrounding people changed their business to make a living, and the area gradually prospered.Merchants coming and going need a place to meet and talk, and Wangjianglou is the largest restaurant in the town, so it has become the best place to go.Mr. He thought the original name was not elegant enough, so he changed the name to Taibai Building, added another floor, and changed the interior into 24 private rooms of different sizes, with new decorations, so as to attract local and foreign traders.

At this time, the shopkeeper of Taibailou was originally a down-and-out scholar.He was exiled to Jinxiu Town more than ten years ago, and after receiving a meal from Master He, he stayed and became the accountant of the He family.Later, Master He saw that he was good at making wine, so he appointed him to be the shopkeeper of Taibailou.The scholar's surname was Liu and his name was Jingyuan. People who knew him often called him Mr. Liu.This person is not only good at dancing, but also proficient in various documents and contracts. He often acts as a notary for businessmen.Just because Mr. He has kindness to him, he has always treated He Qicheng and He Qiwu very courteously, but he never gave face to his wife's relatives such as Sanyu.If it wasn't for the fact that too many members of the He family were invited for this audit, and the usual restaurant is not enough space, San Yu definitely would not have chosen this place.

Seeing that the battle was wrong this time, Liu Jingyuan was already a little worried. He sent competent people upstairs to greet him, but he himself waited at the door.He saw He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai approaching from a distance, so he immediately rushed to meet them.

Seeing that it was Liu Jingyuan, He Qicheng quickly cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Liu is good."

Liu Jingyuan pointed to the upper floor of the Taibai Tower and said, "What is the young master's plan for today's matter?"

He Qicheng smiled and said: "It's nothing more than soldiers coming to cover the water and soil."

Liu Jingyuan looked He Qicheng up and down for a moment, nodded and said: "The young master is very resourceful, I shouldn't have worried about the young master, but this family property passed down by the master, Liu will definitely not allow it to fall into the hands of others."

He Qicheng pondered and said: "I can assure you, sir, that my father's hard work will not go to waste. Dare I ask Mr. Liu, do you plan to move any place recently?"

Liu Jingyuan was surprised immediately: "You want to leave?!"

He Qicheng nodded and said: "That's right, today's business is over, and I'm leaving the He family. Mr. Liu's talent really shouldn't be buried here. If Mr. Xu is willing to leave with me, I, Mr. Xu, will have a chance to show off his ambitions back then. "

Liu Jingyuan was framed by others in the past, his future was ruined, and he wandered here in a daze. He had already entered less air and released more air, dying, and his life was hanging by a thread.Since he was rescued by Mr. He, his previous ambitions were wiped out, so he concentrated on being the accountant of the He family.At this time, when He Qicheng suddenly heard what happened back then, he couldn't help being extremely excited, panting a few times and said: "Only the master knows about this matter, where did the young master leave home when he was young?"

He Qicheng said in a low voice: "My late father left a legacy, saying that the person he respected the most in his life was Mr. Liu, and it would be a shame for Mr. Liu to stay in the He family. Therefore, if Mr. Liu wants to leave after his old man's death, we will wait for you." They cannot be forced to stay. If there is a way to help Mr. Liu to vindicate the unjust case of the past, he must do whatever it takes to return Mr. Liu's innocence."

After hearing this, Liu Jingyuan's eyes turned red, he bowed to the north, and said in a hoarse voice: "The master can think so well of me when he is dying, even if I am smashed to pieces, I can't repay you. Alas...he is dying. You were the one I missed the most before, but it's a pity that I didn't let you father and son see each other for the last time!"

He Qicheng quickly comforted him and said: "My condolences to Mr. Liu. Although my late father failed to fulfill his wish, he still entrusted someone to hand over his legacy to me. I dare not forget his old man's teachings for a moment. There is only one He family left here. Rotten and empty shell, I intend to invite Mr. Liu to go with me, I don't know what Mr. Liu would like?"

After all, Liu Jingyuan was not an ordinary person, he calmed down after a while, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your kindness. It's just that the second young master is still alive. After all, he is the master appointed by the master. I must wait until the last moment before I can leave."

He Qicheng seemed to have expected this result, nodded immediately and said: "Then Qiwu will be taken care of by Mr. Liu. If Mr. Liu wants to contact me, he can go to Suzhou Four Seasons Embroidery Workshop to find an embroidery girl named Yunniang."

Liu Jingyuan solemnly agreed, and then told He Qicheng in detail who among the people upstairs was the madam, and then led He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai upstairs.

At this time, the guests upstairs were probably [-]% or so, and Chang Yu was greeting the crowd.When he saw Liu Jingyuan leading He Qicheng up, he greeted him with a smile on his face.Liu Jingyuan didn't want to see Chang Yu's face, so he whispered a word of caution to He Qicheng, then turned and went downstairs.He Qicheng smiled and chatted with Chang Yu for a few words, and ordered the servants behind him to move the two boxes of account books to one side and put them away, and then greeted everyone in the private room in turn.

Most of the people here are related to He Qicheng. When they saw his nephew and nephew, they shouted very kindly. A few of them were puzzled and were still secretly asking why they had to re-check the accounts today. Only a few were related to the Chang family. Those who are close, obviously got the news of Changyu long ago, and their faces are full of gloating.

He Qicheng got Liu Jingyuan's advice before he went upstairs, knowing that the madam's faction is not too much, it only accounts for nearly a quarter. Of course, if he is completely on his side, there are only three who are ruled by him. Better than the stubborn family uncle, most of the rest are businessmen who only value dividends.

He secretly shook Dongfang Bubai's palm, and said with a low smile: "Don't look at how affectionate they are now, but after a while, they will beat me, a dog in the water. Brother Dongfang, you must remember to marry a chicken as a chicken and a dog." Follow the dog!"

Dongfang Bubai frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

He Qicheng drew a circle on Dongfang Bubai's palm again with his finger, and then turned his head to talk to an old man with white beard beside him in a serious manner.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, everyone finally arrived, He Qicheng coughed lightly, indicating to start.A servant picked up the account book, started to read the general ledger of last year, and then read the monthly and local accounts, and finally read the bonuses distributed by each family, and showed the receipts signed by each family at the end of last year, which is very readable. It took less than half an hour to finish reading.

He Qicheng stood up, and said loudly: "Last year's accounts are like this. Every item is recorded in the box. If anyone has any objections, you may wish to check it yourself. In terms of dividends, last year was slightly more than the previous year. If you feel that I am not good enough to be the chief treasurer, you can propose a more suitable candidate, and I will abdicate to make a good one."

In fact, since the death of Master He, the He family has neglected to take care of the properties in various places, and the Chang family has secretly tampered with the accounts and embezzled money, so that the dividends have plummeted every year, and everyone in the family feels dissatisfied.After He Qicheng took over as the chief treasurer, he vigorously rectified the industries in various places, and reorganized the accounts. Although the previous losses could not be recovered, the dividends were higher and higher every year.So most of the people in the room were worried that the bonus would be reduced again if they changed to another head shopkeeper after hearing what he said, so they couldn't help talking and talking to keep him.

Seeing this, Chang Yu sneered secretly, and waited until everyone had flattered He Qicheng several times, and his voice faded away, before he stood up and took a step forward and said, "Actually, I have also read the accounts of cousin Xicheng. Mistakes and omissions. But let me say, there is still a problem with this account, and it is still a huge problem!"

Everyone couldn't help showing surprise when they heard the words, only those who had communicated with Chang Yu in advance couldn't help but nodded and asked questions one after another.

Chang Yu raised his hand to suppress everyone's words, and said with a smile: "You are all old people who have been in the mall for a long time. Naturally, you know that such a big business as the He family has two types of account books: monthly account and land account. One is used for Record the income and expenditure of the current month, and one is used to record the income and expenditure of a place. At the end, if you match the two accounts, you will know if there is any problem with the accounts. However, there is still a lack of such calculations. It is only because the He family's industries in various places are complicated. , All walks of life have business operations. A monthly account or a land account often contains more than a thousand entries. It is impossible to tell which industries will make more profits this year and which will make less profits this year. All the account books from last year were pulled out, and a new account was calculated, and accounts were set up for various industries, called bank accounts."

Hearing what he said freshly, everyone seemed to be very reasonable, and they all pondered for a while, and those who were close to Changyu immediately asked what the benefits of the bank account were.

Chang Yu waved his hand, and a servant walked up to him carrying a vermilion lacquer tray.He picked up an account book from the tray, opened it, and said, "This book is one of the accounts that are being calculated. It records the business of the He family's silk and satin factories in various places. Last year, the total profit was 520 yuan." Two five cents and three cents. I calculated a total of 360 such account books, which are collectively called 360 bank accounts. The account books are thick and thin, and when added together, they are exactly the same as the numbers on the monthly account and the land account. Don’t Looking at the large number of accounts, it can help us see which line is in the red and which line is profitable, which will be of great benefit to future operations. Moreover, when the year is settled, the three accounts will be combined, making it less likely to make mistakes. Therefore, according to In my humble opinion, although it will take a lot of manpower to settle accounts, it will be of great benefit, what do you think?"

Everyone thought about it carefully and found that this method is very feasible, so they couldn't help nodding.A few people who didn't like to see San Yu before, suddenly changed their opinion of him, thinking that although this man likes to make money, he is also a good businessman, and he can come up with such an unprecedented method.

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Chang Yu secretly took a look at the expression on He Qicheng's face, and found that he was talking with his righteous brother in a low voice with a smile in his eyes, as if he didn't care about the bank account, so he sneered in his heart, and said: "It's just like this , but was found a problem."

Immediately, someone in the crowd hurriedly asked, "What problem did Manager Chang find?"

Chang Yu smiled and said: "Everyone knows that the He family made their fortune with the money of the son and mother, so the money of the son and mother has always been the biggest part of the He family's profit. From the common people to the imperial court officials, it is among colleagues. There is no one in the He family who does not do the huge amount of loans. Therefore, when I calculated the accounts, I set the money from the mother and son as the first line. But I was shocked when the accounts were calculated. "

Someone in the crowd immediately interjected: "Why is Chang Guanshi so startled? What happened?"

Chang Yu sighed, picked up another account book from the tray, opened it and read: "Last year, the He family made a profit of ninety-seven thousand two hundred and forty-four taels in terms of money for the son and mother. At first glance, it seems quite a lot, but Do you all know how much the He family made in terms of children's and mother's money five years ago?"

Immediately, someone said loudly: "How much?"

Chang Yu shook his head and said, "Five years ago, when Master was still alive, this number was originally 2207 taels."

Hearing that the profit of the son and mother money has shrunk by more than [-] times, there was an uproar in the crowd, more than half of the people looked at He Qicheng, and some even cursed.

Chang Yu said again: "Everyone be quiet, please listen to what I have to say. In fact, the reason for this incident is that Cousin Xicheng has a benevolent heart. Everyone knows that the He family has always given money. The actual interest is 44 cents and [-] cents. However, since the cousin of Qicheng became the chief treasurer, it has been established that only three cents of the interest will be taken from the mother's money, and the interest shall not exceed half of the principal regardless of the length of the loan period. Since then, the gap has been more than ten times. In the past years, the oil and water business that has been able to make profits and profits has suddenly become a chicken rib that can be done or not. But let me say that although everyone’s bonuses are much less because of this, everyone The young master's actions are tantamount to doing good deeds and accumulating virtues. Thinking about it, even if the master has knowledge, he will be happy. Even you have gained a lot of merit! Congratulations, congratulations!"

Part41

As soon as Chang Yu finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted: "Damn! If He Qicheng wants to be a good person, he can use his own money to do it. If he cut off the big guy's fortune without saying a word, it's really fucking Not a thing!"

Immediately, someone else echoed, "Although the He family has taken the lion's share, the profit of the million taels of silver, which one would not lose thousands of taels out of thin air? Let this kind of person be the chief shopkeeper, and I will be the first to refuse to accept it." !"

A few people who were thinking about He Qicheng's interests lost their position immediately, and kept silent.Only an old man with white eyebrows stood up and spoke for He Qicheng: "I think the young master doesn't know the hardships of starting a business, so he sympathizes with those small people who borrowed money from his mother and son. With the talent of the young master, as long as he can see clearly The pros and cons of the business will naturally give everyone an explanation. Besides, the young master has been running the business in the past few years, and he has worked hard without credit, so you all think that he is young and has nothing to do, so give him another chance. "

Everyone in the box remembered that the dividends in the past two years have indeed been rising steadily, and they were not sure about the attitude of the He family, so they fell silent for a while.But Chang Yu clasped his fists and said: "The old madam said something beforehand. She knows very little about the affairs of the mall, so I just listen to your opinions. If everyone has objections to the fact that cousin Xicheng continues to be the chief shopkeeper, She will never favor her own family and cut off the wealth of all the clansmen."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone heard that it was the old lady who wanted to force He Qicheng to leave, and immediately several wall-riding factions turned their guns and talked about He Qicheng one after another.After a while, two-thirds of the crowd fell to Chang Yu's side.He Qicheng's expression didn't change, but he winked at Dongfang Bubai to show that he had expected nothing wrong.

He had expected that if Sanyu offered the son-mother's money, most of the members of the He family would immediately turn against each other.It's not because everyone in the private room is scheming, it's just that businessmen are mercenary by nature, not to mention that they have long been used to the family ruin caused by money from their sons and mothers, and they don't have much guilt in their hearts, so it is impossible for them to change what they have done Have the slightest favor.

On the other side, Changyu cupped his hands to He Xicheng and said, "Everyone, please calm down first and don't be impatient. Maybe cousin Xicheng's move has other meanings, and we have not noticed it with my shallow knowledge. Cousin Xicheng, what do you have to say? Want to say?"

He Qicheng thought to himself, it's rare for you to guess right this time, but the deep meaning in the middle cannot be easily revealed, otherwise you won't be able to leave this time.He smiled slightly at the moment, took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "I have nothing to say."

Seeing that he was unwilling to defend himself, some elders who supported He Qicheng sighed and left the table with a flick of their sleeves.

Chang Yu was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was filled with regret, and he sighed: "Since this is the case, I'm afraid that Cousin Xicheng will not be able to continue doing this. Fortunately, my wife has told me that if I have to, Cousin Xicheng will be exempted." For my younger brother’s position, let me give my cousin Qicheng’s salary of 500 taels a year to comfort his cousin. Come and bring me the money!”

A servant beside him placed a vermilion lacquer tray in front of He Qicheng.There are ten silver ingots on it, one for 50 taels, exactly 500 taels.He Qicheng smiled slightly, picked up a silver ingot and played with it for a while, then put it back on the plate, quietly watching Sanyu's next move.

I saw Chang Yu talking to everyone to the end, and said in a loud voice: "Since my cousin Xicheng has resigned, I don't know if you have any candidates for the new chief shopkeeper?"

Someone in the crowd immediately said, "I think Chang Shi is the best candidate."

Another person said: "That's right, Steward Chang is decisive in dealing with things. He has been in the mall for more than ten years. Naturally, his rich experience is not comparable to that of the young master. I would also like to support Steward Chang!"

Another person said: "Chang Guanshi has found a unique way and invented the algorithm of bank accounts. If he takes over as the chief treasurer, I will feel relieved and comfortable!"

When the rest of the people saw it, they all knew that the He family must be in charge of the chief shopkeeper. Sanyu is the old lady's nephew, and he will undoubtedly succeed him when He Qicheng is gone. Why offend people at this juncture, immediately They all expressed their support for Changyu.

Thinking that Sanyu had waited for more than four years for today, and at this moment, he was extremely complacent, and his face could hardly hide the joy.After more than half of the people in the box expressed their support for him, they declined a few words with a smile, and then gladly accepted everyone's invitation.Seeing that the big event was over, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Tonight's banquet will be charged to someone Chang's account, and everyone must not get drunk!"

All the people suddenly agreed, and they heard someone downstairs shouting: "He Qicheng, young master He is here?" It turned out to be a black-painted carriage, which stopped at the entrance of Taibai Building.

He Qicheng clasped his fists at everyone and said: "My nephew has a guest, let's say goodbye to you first, there will be a period of time with the green mountains and green waters." After saying that, he took Dongfang Bubai and walked downstairs, but he didn't even look at the 500 taels of silver on the table.Seeing this, Chang Yu couldn't help but sneered in his heart, and raised his hand to signal the servant to put away the silver.

When He Qicheng reached the gate of Taibai Building, the driver outside had called three times.As soon as he saw He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai coming out, he got out of the car and kowtowed respectfully to He Qicheng.

He Qicheng helped him up, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Little brother, from your yelling just now, you probably haven't seen me before. Why did you kneel down without asking first?"

The man said seriously: "With the temperament and appearance of the young master, there is no other person in the whole world. How can the young one not recognize it? What's more, my master has already told the young master's appearance in detail Once again, the little one traveled thousands of miles all the way east, and dared not forget a single star."

He Qicheng asked: "I don't know which friend sent my little brother?"

The man said loudly: "My master is the head of the Luo family in Wuchang. I had a relationship with the young master last year on the Yangtze River." The family members were taken aback.

The Luo family in Wuchang is the number one cloth merchant in the world, and there are no less than a hundred workshops for spinning, weaving, silk reeling, and hemp on the banks of the Yangtze River.The owner of the Luo family is named Luo Chengde, and he has been in the mall for more than forty years, and his qualifications and skills are resounding all over the world.This person actually sent his family all the way to see He Qicheng, but he didn't know what his intentions were.

He Qicheng smiled slightly when he heard the words: "It turns out that Mr. Luo's family members have arrived, but they don't know how to call them?"

The man clasped his fists and said, "Young little name is nothing to worry about. My master said that he heard that the young master wants to find another job recently, and he is willing to hire the young master to go to Wuchang with 5000 taels of silver every year." The voice fell , Two men got out of the car, carried a wooden box, opened it in front of He Qicheng, and it was full of shiny silver ingots.

According to the prices at that time, two taels of silver would be enough for a family of three to live for more than a month, but Luo's family even offered 5000 taels to invite He Qicheng, which is ten times higher than the salary at He's family, which is really unbelievable.Everyone upstairs was in amazement, but He Qicheng waved his hand and said: "Thank you Mr. Luo for your kindness, but although He wanted to leave the He family, he didn't mean that."

The man seemed to have expected that He Qicheng would not agree, so he cupped his fists and said, "In this case, please accept the 5000 taels of silver for money." He walked away with the whip, as if he was afraid that He Qicheng would not accept it.

Everyone upstairs was so startled that their jaws almost dropped, and some couldn't help but come downstairs to see if the silver ingots in the box were real or not.Even the passers-by who happened to pass by couldn't help but stop and watch.

Just at this time, another person shouted loudly: "Ahead is Master He Qicheng, He Qicheng?" But a group of people arrived on flying horses, and all the knights were full of energy, with big arms and round waists, so mighty.Seeing this, the onlookers couldn't help stepping out of the way, and even said a few good things: "That's right, that's right, the young master is here."

The team of riders reined in immediately, and a group of ten people and twelve fast horses stopped in a line in front of He Qicheng. The riders got off their horses, and their movements were uniform and without any mistakes.I saw a person in the middle say: "The young master is well! We are all from Sai's racecourse outside the pass. Mrs. Sai heard that the young master is leaving the He family, so she ordered me to come here day and night, and bring a bucket of pearls for the young master. Two Gaochang BMWs."

After finishing speaking, he untied a sealed sheepskin bag belt from the saddle, took out a dagger and cut it open, and poured the pearls in it into the wooden box carried by another rider.I saw those bright pearls were round and bright, each of them was about the size of a pigeon's egg, and it took forty or fifty of them to stop.

The leader of the riders led a horse from both sides to He Qicheng, and said in a loud voice: "The horse on the left is called Long Wen, and the horse on the right is called Zhao Ye. They are rare and rare BMW horses in a hundred years. Please also The young master accepts it!"

Sai's racecourse is the first among the four major racecourses outside the pass, with more than ten thousand high-quality horses. The owner of the racecourse, Mrs. Sai, supported the racecourse with one hand because of her husband's early death. The Tartars couldn't help giving their thumbs up when they saw it.Not to mention these two BMWs that have a price but no market, those pearls just now are worth more than ten thousand taels?At this time, half of the people in the upstairs private room had already gone downstairs, seeing Mrs. Sai treating He Qicheng with such courtesy, they were all amazed.

The rider didn't wait for He Qicheng's reaction, he closed the wooden box, stuffed it into He Qicheng's arms, handed over the reins of the two horses to Dongfang Bubai, turned around, got on the horses and left.

He Qicheng blinked, and had no choice but to put the box containing the pearls on top of the silver box, and raised his hand to stroke the mane of the snow-white BMW.Unexpectedly, the horse didn't give him face, turned away with a snort, and licked the back of Dongfang Bubai's hand instead.He Qicheng froze for a moment, then went to touch the gray horse's neck again.This time was even better, the gray horse was already a little longer than ordinary horses, when he saw He Qicheng approaching to touch him, he immediately stood up and raised his front hooves at him, but Dongfang Bubai grabbed the reins and couldn't move forward, struggling It took a while before he put down his front hoof, walked up to Dongfang Bubai honestly, and bit his sleeve as a gesture of goodwill.

He Qicheng couldn't laugh or cry immediately and said: "That's good! It's obviously given to me to give my legs, but these two little beasts only get close to Big Brother Dongfang. I'm afraid they will only let me ride with Big Brother Dongfang in the future!"

The two horses spit at He Qicheng when they heard He Qicheng call him a little beast, as if they were human.

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help laughing and said: "All BMW horses know their owners. Since they are willing to follow me, I will train them for a while later, and teach them to force you to ride." After saying that, he stroked the white horse again. On the forehead, the gray horse stuck its neck in front of Dongfang Bubai as if it was eating something, and then turned away after he petted it again.

While he was talking, he could only hear the noise of people approaching, but it was the big merchants from several surrounding provinces who arrived in person.One by one was sending money, jewelry, even silk, satin and even calligraphy and painting furniture.Everyone exchanged greetings with He Qicheng one after another, and left with a hush, leaving behind a street full of gifts, which made everyone amazed when they saw it.

Seeing this, He Qicheng couldn't help hesitating a little, thinking, this time the old brothers really spared no effort to save face, but how can all these things be transported away?

Suddenly, a man in green shirt shouted from outside the crowd: "Is Young Master He still in He Qicheng?"

When the audience heard that another one was coming, even though they saw that he was empty-handed, they couldn't help flashing a way for him to go forward.The man in the green shirt walked up to He Qicheng, looked deeply, and said with a smile: "I, Hu Sheng, have met the young master. My master wants to invite the young master to go north to Shanxi, and he is willing to invite you with [-]% of the annual profit."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a buzzing sound in the crowd, and a middle-aged man couldn't help asking: "Isn't your master Hu Wanwan from Shanxi?"

Shanxi is a place where merchants gather, Shanxi merchants are well-known all over the world, and the Hu family is the best among them.The Patriarch of the Hu family was not originally called Hu Wanwan, but because of his incomparable wealth, everyone called him "Million", but no one remembered his original name.The Hu family started with salt and controlled most of the commercial routes in the north. It was originally known as "South He North Hu" with the He family in Huizhou. It was only because the Hu family made a fortune earlier that it was superior to the He family in terms of financial resources.

The man in green shirt nodded and said: "That's right, my master is Mr. Hu Wanwanhu."

It sounds like Hu million takes [-]%
