After the emperor got married, he collapsed and set up
Chapter 93 Moon Lane Pavilion [2 in 1]
Huai Yu didn't stay much longer, and left with Zhou Zhenzhen before dinner, and even greeted Xiao Jinghe in the courtyard before leaving.
When Yang Yanqing came out pressing the bridge of his nose, he saw Xiao Jinghe obediently handing over an orange, and admitted his mistake with aggrieved words: "One was lost, just one."
"Forget it, don't count."
Yang Yanqing, who was given a headache by Huaiyu's words just now, hesitated for a moment, raised his hand to take off the apples and oranges from Xiao Jinghe's head and put them in his arms, then said after a long pause: "Just now Huaiyu said that I was destined to have two students , Nagging... What can he do with me if I don't accept him?"
But there is no regulation that teaching is to accept students. After experiencing those things, what Yang Yanqing hates the most is being forced to do something.
Xiao Jinghe sat on the porch with Yang Yanqing, who was a little depressed, and pushed a piece of orange into Yang Yanqing's mouth: "This student... I'm afraid the master will accept it."
"What do you mean?" Yang Yanqing swallowed the orange in his mouth.
"Master Master once told me that Granny Gu was planted with the Beauty Gu in her body. After she died that year, her face gradually rejuvenated, and finally stayed in the age of a [-]-year-old girl. I was the one who filled the earth and erected a monument for the two of them. I was lucky enough to see the young face Granny Gu." Xiao Jinghe said, "That little girl surnamed Zhou looks eighty percent similar to Granny Gu."
She is still young now, but if she grows up, she must look similar.
Granny Gu is from the rivers and lakes, except for the arrest warrants drawn by the government back then, there are no portraits left behind when she was young. Naturally, Yang Yanqing doesn't think that Zhou Zhenzhen looks good-looking. If Xiao Jinghe didn't have the memory of living a new life, she would have met Yang Yanqing again in this life. Master Shi and Granny Gu may not be able to find out about Zhou Zhenzhen's appearance.
"Grandma Gu's daughter...?" Yang Yanqing pondered with downcast eyes. It's been too long since Yang Yanqing met Granny Gu. It's not right - unless, the daughter of the Gu mother-in-law left behind a child that the Gu mother-in-law didn't even know about?
But why is it in the Zhou royal family?
While thinking about it, Yang Yanqing took out a whistle from his sleeve, and was about to blow it, but the whistle was blocked by a hand stretched over from the side.
Yang Yanqing: "...?"
Xiao Jinghe coughed dryly, gently removed the whistle from Yang Yanqing's lips, and touched the bridge of his nose: "You can't call the Black Eagle over. It was a bit rampant at the border..."
Xiao Jinghe said it very euphemistically, but whoever raises an eagle knows its virtues, Yang Yanqing said expressionlessly: "Did it go to other people's walls to show off its head while you were mocking the general?"
Xiao Jinghe nodded with a miserable face, and added: "He scratched the deputy general's face, and he came back afterwards to show off his power on my shoulder. I scolded him and let out a cry, and the surnamed Lian fainted from anger. A credit. Later, I added a chicken to it."
Didn't mention a word that if there was no extra meal at that time, the fat and strong black eagle would stretch out its claws and poke at the red tassel on his head. Zhou Guo's bow and arrow couldn't hit it, and Xiao Jinghe, who was in a state of desperation, never once captured Black Eagle.
Yang Yanqing thought that every time Black Eagle came back to deliver letters, he would act like a spoiled child, with a look of exhaustion on his face, and he would always get twice as much raw meat from him as usual, and sneered, "What is it called Black Eagle? From now on, it will be called Fatty. The name suits it well."
While the two were talking, the maid, who rarely appeared in front of them on weekdays, quickly walked over with a gold-sprinkling post in her hand and presented it with both hands.
Yang Yanqing accepted the post and signaled the maid to back down, opened it and smiled, "It's a coincidence."
Xiao Jinghe sat beside him, and Yang Yanqing didn't avoid him. Naturally, he also saw the content of the post, and couldn't help asking: "The Appreciation Association...is this inscription from the Daqing Chamber of Commerce?"
"Hmm. The state of Zhou regards business as cheap, so naturally no aristocratic family will come out to show their faces and make money by doing business, but the state of Zhou itself relies on Daqing's grain and products, and there are several mine veins buried underground. Such a big gold customer, Of course, those of us who are businessmen will not miss it." Yang Yanqing smiled like a fox who stole a chicken, "People here are really fooling, Biluochun in normal seasons can be sold here at the price before tomorrow. Heqi Nearly [-]% of the profits of the shops under the name of the villa come from the state of Zhou."
"Lanyue Pavilion is also a place where there is a world inside. It looks like a tea house, but in fact, as long as there is money, everything can be in place. It is a gold-selling cave where ten-tenths of money are made every day, and Paul has countless treasures. "
Speaking of this, Yang Yanqing closed the post, looked up and down at Xiao Jinghe who was sitting next to him, and muttered: "No, I have to clean up you... Don't be recognized by anyone when you turn around, my Heqi Villa will not tarnish the reputation of the court But it's over."
Xiao Jinghe: "...?"
***
"Hmm... the color is too heavy! Another one."
Yang Yanqing, who was sitting on the chair, was holding a teacup in his hand. When he saw Xiao Jinghe coming out in an indigo gown, he took a look and shook his head.
Xiao Jinghe turned his head and glanced at the remaining clothes in the closet behind the screen. They were colorful and colorful, all in various colorful styles—in other words, none of them he had the courage to wear.
Yang Yanqing took a sip of tea and put down the teacup. Seeing Xiao Jinghe's silent resistance, he understood what the man was awkward with as soon as he rolled his eyes. He immediately got up and walked around the screen to the closet. He looked at the clothes left in the closet. He didn't understand what happened just now. The reason why you are not satisfied after trying more than a dozen pieces?
"My lord, the overall situation is the most important thing." Yang Yanqing walked over and raised his hand to untie Xiao Jinghe's belt, pulled the dark robe off the man's body, and said angrily, "If it doesn't work, I'll go alone."
"Don't even think about it!" Xiao Jinghe recalled the location on the post, and chuckled, "Let me go to drink flowers and wine with silver taels alone, I'm afraid you won't be able to recognize which direction the door opens?"
"No way, I can still recognize you at the door of the house." Yang Yanqing blinked, and argued, "Besides, where did you get the flower wine in Lanyue Pavilion without calling the girl? It's all serious wine. At most, it's called a dancer." |Female luthier or something to add to the fun." After finishing speaking, he looked down at the indigo shirt in his hand and put it aside.Where is he the kind who doesn't know how to measure when he sees a beauty?The most is to admire and appreciate, besides, he has never liked those delicate flowers that are weak and pretending to be, isn't the most suitable beauty standing in front of him at this moment?Of course he was going home.
Xiao Jinghe pressed his temples with a headache, and said directly, "Let's change your face."
"That won't work. Didn't everyone say that Yi Rong is uncomfortable? Besides, it's not good for the skin. If my face gets hurt later, I'll be very distressed." Yang Yanqing started talking nonsense seriously again.
Seeing that this person had made up his mind, Xiao Jinghe didn't bother to struggle at the moment, so he just said lightly: "Then sir, please choose a suit for me."
Yang Yanqing immediately turned his head when he heard the words, and his fingers slid over various brightly colored clothes, and finally landed on a light pink outer shirt...
"The king wears it during the day, and the gentleman wears it at night."
Yang Yanqing's fingers froze.
You don't need to think about how this person dresses at night, but at night, I can't see clearly...
"The king will pull the latch and lock it, and then go to the library to find more than 30 luminous pearls embedded on the side of the bed... carefully watch every moment of the expression of the husband." She touched Yang Yanqing's wrist, then slid onto the pink shirt that Yang Yanqing's fingers touched, and said with a low smile, "The pink is tender and delicate, just in line with your style."
The corner of Yang Yanqing's mouth twitched, and he immediately tore off the pink shirt... The red clothes next to him were stuffed into Xiao Jinghe's arms, and he said in a vicious voice, "Hurry up and change!"
The red color is darker, and a layer of black spun gauze is woven outside, although the color is softer, it is not too delicate.
……
When Xiao Jinghe changed his clothes and walked out from behind the screen, Yang Yanqing had already changed out of the plain scholar's robe, and replaced it with a black and silver woven robe with a snow-white lining. It must be extremely expensive.
Xiao Jinghe raised his eyebrows: "Sir, it's very pompous."
Yang Yanqing looked at Xiao Jinghe who was wearing a black gauze and red robe with wide sleeves, his eyes lingered on his pair of sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he felt sorry for himself, never thought that even such clothes could not suppress the hardness in Xiao Jinghe's bones, he was careless Said: "This is the Merchants Appraisal Club. The prince will know what it is when he goes there. The room is full of jewels and treasures."
As he said that, Yang Yanqing waved his hand to signal the maidservant on the side to come up, took out a thick stack of papers from the box and stuffed them into Xiao Jinghe's arms, and said very richly: "Buy whatever you like, if you don't have enough, pay the bill, and I'll ask someone to settle it later."
Xiao Jinghe looked at the stack of bank notes in his hand, all of which were in large amounts of 5000 taels, and there were almost no small sums. This stack of pinches was enough for the three-month expenditure of the Jingbei Army on weekdays. It's like giving pocket money to Xiaoyin, which is not worth mentioning.
Raising his eyebrows, Xiao Jinghe received the bank note in his arms like a gentleman, and said meaningfully: "Thank you, sir."
Buy whatever you see...

The resident in Zhou State is the Qian family, the leader of the seven major chambers of commerce. The Qian family is the only chamber of commerce among the seven major chambers of commerce whose ancestors have earned the title of imperial merchant. It has been buying and selling between the two countries for more than 70 years , is the only one of the seven families that is upright and resident in Zhou State, and has basically taken over the grain trade between Daqing and Zhou State.
Qian Liangcai, who was in charge of the industry in the state of Zhou, was the youngest son of the previous head of the Qian family. From an early age, he showed intelligence that was different from ordinary children. Back then, the Qian family was overjoyed and thought that there would finally be a talented person in the family who was able to pass the imperial examination and become an official. As a result, the Qian family found out after this little genius grew up that he was a member of the Imperial Merchant. It is true that he is smart and eager to learn, but his hobby is golden abacus, and he opened up six senses during the imperial examination. , know nothing about it.
The two came to Lanyue Pavilion in a carriage, and passed by a small stall on the way. Yang Yanqing smelled the aroma and ordered the maid who followed him to buy a bowl. Seeing that it was meat swallow, he fiddled with a stick and tasted it. It's a bit greasy, and the cooking is not authentic in Minzhou. It can be seen that the people who came to do business should not be from Minzhou in Daqing, but the people of Zhou State who have learned to look like they are used to make a living.
Seeing that the carriage stopped, Yang Yanqing stuffed the remaining meat swallow into Xiao Jinghe's hand, and said, "Help me get it."
Turning around, he got out of the carriage and greeted Qian Youcai who had already been waiting by the door.
Qian Youcai was dressed equally richly, with a baby face, and looked friendly.However, with such a face of being laughed at as a child, he has turned the Qian family's property in Zhou State several times to the present level, which shows his business acumen and means.
When Xiao Jinghe, who got off the carriage with a bowl of fragrant meat swallow in his hand, appeared in front of the two of them, Qian Youcai was taken aback, and immediately looked at the smiling Yang Yanqing.
"Guan Qian is joking. This is my wife. I'm newly married, and I haven't had time to entertain relatives and friends with wine." Yang Yanqing smiled softly, and then stretched out her hand in front of Xiao Jinghe.
Xiao Jinghe lowered his eyes to look at the white, slender and bony hand in front of him, said nothing, put his hand on Yang Yanqing's palm and got off the carriage.
Qian Youcai's eyes changed, and he didn't say a word to counteract the rebellion to the sudden extra man and wife in the Heqi Villa who had never been impatient to attend the party. The proprietor's wife doesn't look like she came from a merchant's family, she looks fierce and cold like a Jianghu person who is not easy to mess with.
Thinking of the intricate and difficult connection behind Heqi Mountain Villa and the forces in the world, I have more thoughts about this strange-looking couple in front of me.
Qian Liangcai greeted immediately with a haha and a smile: "Master Yang, Mrs. Yang, please come inside!"
When Yang Yanqing heard the words Mrs. Yang, his back straightened immediately, and he glanced at Xiao Jinghe complacently.
Xiao Jinghe clicked his tongue in his heart, always feeling that a certain fox's tail is really... not enough.
Entering the Lanyue Pavilion, the inside is similar to the usual flower buildings. The dancers on the high stage in the middle are dancing, and the musicians are sitting next to them.
Yang Yanqing turned his head and laughed with Xiao Jinghe in a low voice: "The first and second floors of Lanyue Pavilion are places for drinking and having fun, and the upper two floors are for trading some rare treasures and antiques. I come out to eat for my husband and several business managers. Wine always goes to the third or fourth floors, and there is no heart to ask Liu for flowers, Madam, are you relieved now?"
Xiao Jinghe glanced at Yang Yanqing, with an arrogant and cold look on his face: "Is this going to drive you away?" After finishing speaking, his sharp eyes pressed on Qian Liangcai who was looking at him from the corner of his eyes.
Yang Yanqing smiled flatteringly and said, "Ma'am~"
Only then did Xiao Jinghe raise his hand to straighten Yang Yanqing's skirt, then squeezed the man's hand in the sleeve, and whispered: "Drink less, be careful not to catch cold." Then he turned and left.
Faced with Qian Liangcai's mischievous eyes, Yang Yanqing walked leisurely into the wing room, and said, "This musician's skills are pretty good, where did Boss Qian dig out the treasure?"
***
On the other side, Xiao Jinghe, who was separated from the others, held the jade pendant that Yang Yanqing had stuffed into his palm, casually wandered through several shops on the third floor, and not long after, he shook off the tail following him, and quietly entered the back-shaped corridor. In a small shop on the left.
This shop sells calligraphy and paintings. It is not eye-catching among the shops selling antiques and rare things on the third floor, and there are not many people in the shop. When the anecdote saw Xiao Jinghe coming in, he bowed first after being surprised, and bowed to lead Xiao Jinghe Go straight to the inner hall.
The woman in the bright red riding suit outside saw such a handsome and upright man in the red dress, she blushed first, put down the calligraphy and painting in her hands, and when the shopkeeper came out, she winked the maid to ask.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, with a look of doubt: "This..."
"What is this? Do you know who this girl is?" Seeing that the shopkeeper wanted to shirk, the woman in riding clothes suddenly changed her expression, and she was already holding the whip in her hand.
"Miss Lian, it's really embarrassing for a villain. The one just now..." Of course the shopkeeper knows who this woman is. The domineering and unscrupulous Lian family?
The maid behind the woman leaned over and whispered, "Miss, the young master is still downstairs..."
Today, the brothers and sisters came to Lanyue Hall to meet with distinguished guests. If the young lady made a noise here and disturbed the young master, there would be another wave of turmoil in the mansion when they go back.
The maid's reminder was enough. After all, the woman was not out of her mind. She bit her lip and thought for a while, then raised her chin and asked the shopkeeper: "Who is your master? There is nothing you can't say, right?"
The shopkeeper paused, but suddenly a voice came from his ear, and he felt relieved immediately, and answered to the woman: "Miss Huilian, the owner of this villain is Heqi Villa."
"Heqi Mountain Villa... I haven't heard much about it." The woman muttered, reluctantly glanced at the direction of the inner hall, flicked the whip and led the maidservant to turn her head and left.
In the inner hall, Xiao Jinghe looked pale, and the middle-aged man sitting opposite him shook his head and said: "This Lian family can be called the king of the state of Zhou. In recent years, it can be said that there are no taboos, and it can be said that the merchants complained. But The Lian family is also a smart person, and they are not tainted by those who should not be provoked. The powerful family in their hands saw that the fire could not burn their own heads, and because of the Lian family's status in the emperor's heart, they accepted the gift from the Lian family. Just open one eye and close one eye.”
"By the way, ma'am, the two people ordered by the owner of the villa will go to Zhou country tomorrow, do you want to go to Zhuangzi first?"
"Yeah." Xiao Jinghe didn't take the daughter of Lian's family seriously at all, and his face was still expressionless, "Send the news back and find out if the daughter of Grandma Gu has ever been to Zhou State and has had contact with Zhou State's royal family." .”
"Yes!"
After the middle-aged man took the order, he left first. Xiao Jinghe raised his hand and pressed the bank note in the lapel, walked out of the inner hall and asked the shopkeeper, "Is there a shop for custom-made jade articles here?"
The shopkeeper thought for a while, and pointed the direction to Xiao Jinghe: "Mrs. Hui, the shopkeeper of Yubingzhai is a skillful hand. If the carving is not too complicated, as long as the silver is in place, the object can be taken away on the same day."
***
"Is the owner of the village coming to Zhou country this time to show his strength in Zhou country?" Qian Liangcai laughed.
Looking out from the wing room, the dancers and musicians on the high platform in the middle of the office building have retreated, replaced by pieces of auction exhibits. People from all over the world come to bid for rare and rare treasures and get them at high prices.
Yang Yanqing waved the wine cup in his hand, and said with a smile, "I just came to see the customs of a foreign country. It's too late to say something big. But Manager Qian hasn't been back to Daqing for so many years, so he must be like a fish in water. home?"
"What is Master Yang talking about?" The smile on Qian Liangcai's baby face froze for a moment, he put down the wine glass in his hand, raised his hand towards Daqing, and said solemnly: "My Qian family It is the imperial merchant of Daqing, so naturally Daqing will always be my home for Qian Liangcai."
"It's just a joke, why is Guan Shi doing this?" Yang Yan responded lightly, as if he didn't notice Qian Liangcai's solemn expression, but the next sentence raised Qian Liangcai's heart that had just let go Get up, "Yang found out that two months ago a batch of goods came to Zhou from Shanghai? Counting the time, the convoy should have arrived, right?"
Qian Liangcai resisted the flustering in his chest, and tried his best to keep his voice steady: "There are quite a lot of goods going from south to north, and the ones coming from Shanghai are mostly good wine. Did Master Lao Yang intervene in person?"
"It's fine if it's just fine wine, but if it's a beautiful woman... it's hard to say, Guanshi Qian." Yang Yanqing moved his wrist, and there was an extra post between his fingers, and he pointed at the plain white post and pushed towards Qian Liangcai. In the past, there was no rush, "What kind of errand is Heqi Villa doing? Manager Qian should have heard some rumors. Now that some distinguished customers have paid a high price to check this batch of goods. Everyone is open to do business. Please ask Manager Qian for convenience." .”
Qian Liangcai forced a smile and said: "Master Yang, you also understand that the key to this business is to keep the news closed. The auction money is not easy to earn, we are all just businessmen, if we leak the news in advance and attract thieves to steal and rob, Down here... well, it's really hard to resist."
Yang Yanqing thought for a while: "Forget it, since Guanshi Qian bought this table of wine today, Yang will send a message to Guanshi Qian."
Qian Liangcai's expression did not soften, and he finally understood that Yang Yanqing's visit to Zhou State this time might be aimed at him from the beginning.
"Just half a month ago, a vicious disease inexplicably appeared in the homes of many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital. Pustules the size of copper coins appeared on the faces of the patients. A quack doctor came and cured these high-ranking officials who were suffering from inexplicable diseases."
After Yang Yanqing said that, he turned his eyes away from the treasures on the auction table, and turned his head to look at Qian Liangcai: "Guan Qian, do you know who this quack doctor is?"
Qian Liangcai's throat moved up and down, he closed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "...he belongs to Master Yang."
Yang Yanqing said leisurely: "Yang's village has a lot of idlers, and occasionally one or two can always come in handy. It's a coincidence, this list of nobles who have had serious illnesses, there are many people. interest."
"The Commander of the Zhenfu Division, the Governor of the East Factory, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment...these big figures in the capital are all staring at this list." Yang Yanqing poured a glass of wine, with a smile on his lips, "But Yang is a Businessmen, we businessmen only talk about money and business, and we are not interested in participating in government affairs, which is easy to play with family property."
Qian Liangcai was silent for a long time, let out a breath, and said slowly: "What business does Master Yang want to talk about?"
"It's refreshing to talk to smart people." Yang Yanqing smiled at the corners of his eyes. He looked at the gentle and approachable people, but in Qian Liangcai's eyes, there was a cold scrutiny for no reason. The Chen couple who are in business will go to Zhou State to do some small business in a few days, and they also ask Qian Guanshi, a local snake, to take care of him a little bit more on weekdays, so as to hide his identity."
"...Villa Master Yang has a good method."
The news of the illness of the nobles in the capital may be delayed, but there is no reason for Qian Liangcai not to know about such a big and publicized case between the Chen family and Huashan faction in Shanghai?Whether the Chen couple, who were clearly sentenced to exile, would appear in the state of Zhou or work for the Heqi Villa, after thinking about it carefully, this is not something that can be done with money.
What's more, the Chen family and his wife were the base of the previous business in Shanghai, Qian Youcai never thought that this so-called sore might be the work of the person in front of him.
I just don't know what the person in front of me is drawing...
Yang Yanqing smiled: "The money manager is overrated. It's just that I have some money and I know some people. It all depends on the support of my friends."
Qian Liangcai parted his lips, and seemed to have a wry smile for a moment: "When I agreed to do this business, I knew that one day someone would come to my door, but I didn't expect that the first person to be investigated was not the official, but an old friend. "
Yang Yanqing smiled slightly, and said in a soft voice: "Officials judge cases, and they can't rub the sand in their eyes. But with Yang, anyone who is useful can be a friend."
"What if it becomes useless one day?" Qian Liangcai is actually not familiar with the owner of Heqi Mountain Villa, who has always been in-depth and secretive, but he was able to build Heqi Mountain Villa with his bare hands when he was a teenager. He has developed into such a behemoth silently in just a few years, and his mentality and resourcefulness are obviously not to be underestimated.
The arc of Yang Yanqing's lips outlined a just right sarcasm, but he softly comforted him: "It's better for Guanshi Qian to find a way to make himself more useful."
The author has something to say:
Actually, I think my husband must look good in pink, but I really don't want the prince to wear it, hot eyes (closed eyes)

"Master Master once told me that Granny Gu was planted with the Beauty Gu in her body. After she died that year, her face gradually rejuvenated, and finally stayed in the age of a [-]-year-old girl.

Yang Yanqing thought that every time Black Eagle came back to deliver letters, he would act like a spoiled child, with a look of exhaustion on his face, and he would always get twice as much raw meat from him as usual, and sneered, "What is it called Black Eagle?

While the two were talking, the maid, who rarely appeared in front of them on weekdays, quickly walked over with a gold-sprinkling post in her hand and presented it with both hands.

"That won't work. Didn't everyone say that Yi Rong is uncomfortable? Besides, it's not good for the skin. If my face gets hurt later, I'll be very distressed." Yang Yanqing started talking nonsense seriously again.
Seeing that this person had made up his mind, Xiao Jinghe didn't bother to struggle at the moment, so he just said lightly: "Then sir, please choose a suit for me."
Yang Yanqing immediately turned his head when he heard the words, and his fingers slid over various brightly colored clothes, and finally landed on a light pink outer shirt...
"The king wears it during the day, and the gentleman wears it at night."
Yang Yanqing's fingers froze.
You don't need to think about how this person dresses at night, but at night, I can't see clearly...
"The king will pull the latch and lock it, and then go to the library to find more than 30 luminous pearls embedded on the side of the bed... carefully watch every moment of the expression of the husband." She touched Yang Yanqing's wrist, then slid onto the pink shirt that Yang Yanqing's fingers touched, and said with a low smile, "The pink is tender and delicate, just in line with your style."
The corner of Yang Yanqing's mouth twitched, and he immediately tore off the pink shirt... The red clothes next to him were stuffed into Xiao Jinghe's arms, and he said in a vicious voice, "Hurry up and change!"
The red color is darker, and a layer of black spun gauze is woven outside, although the color is softer, it is not too delicate.
……
When Xiao Jinghe changed his clothes and walked out from behind the screen, Yang Yanqing had already changed out of the plain scholar's robe, and replaced it with a black and silver woven robe with a snow-white lining. It must be extremely expensive.
Xiao Jinghe raised his eyebrows: "Sir, it's very pompous."
Yang Yanqing looked at Xiao Jinghe who was wearing a black gauze and red robe with wide sleeves, his eyes lingered on his pair of sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he felt sorry for himself, never thought that even such clothes could not suppress the hardness in Xiao Jinghe's bones, he was careless Said: "This is the Merchants Appraisal Club. The prince will know what it is when he goes there. The room is full of jewels and treasures."
As he said that, Yang Yanqing waved his hand to signal the maidservant on the side to come up, took out a thick stack of papers from the box and stuffed them into Xiao Jinghe's arms, and said very richly: "Buy whatever you like, if you don't have enough, pay the bill, and I'll ask someone to settle it later."
Xiao Jinghe looked at the stack of bank notes in his hand, all of which were in large amounts of 5000 taels, and there were almost no small sums. This stack of pinches was enough for the three-month expenditure of the Jingbei Army on weekdays. It's like giving pocket money to Xiaoyin, which is not worth mentioning.
Raising his eyebrows, Xiao Jinghe received the bank note in his arms like a gentleman, and said meaningfully: "Thank you, sir."
Buy whatever you see...
***
The resident in Zhou State is the Qian family, the leader of the seven major chambers of commerce. The Qian family is the only chamber of commerce among the seven major chambers of commerce whose ancestors have earned the title of imperial merchant. It has been buying and selling between the two countries for more than 70 years , is the only one of the seven families that is upright and resident in Zhou State, and has basically taken over the grain trade between Daqing and Zhou State.
Qian Liangcai, who was in charge of the industry in the state of Zhou, was the youngest son of the previous head of the Qian family. From an early age, he showed intelligence that was different from ordinary children. Back then, the Qian family was overjoyed and thought that there would finally be a talented person in the family who was able to pass the imperial examination and become an official. As a result, the Qian family found out after this little genius grew up that he was a member of the Imperial Merchant. It is true that he is smart and eager to learn, but his hobby is golden abacus, and he opened up six senses during the imperial examination. , know nothing about it.
The two came to Lanyue Pavilion in a carriage, and passed by a small stall on the way. Yang Yanqing smelled the aroma and ordered the maid who followed him to buy a bowl. Seeing that it was meat swallow, he fiddled with a stick and tasted it. It's a bit greasy, and the cooking is not authentic in Minzhou. It can be seen that the people who came to do business should not be from Minzhou in Daqing, but the people of Zhou State who have learned to look like they are used to make a living.
Seeing that the carriage stopped, Yang Yanqing stuffed the remaining meat swallow into Xiao Jinghe's hand, and said, "Help me get it."
Turning around, he got out of the carriage and greeted Qian Youcai who had already been waiting by the door.
Qian Youcai was dressed equally richly, with a baby face, and looked friendly.However, with such a face of being laughed at as a child, he has turned the Qian family's property in Zhou State several times to the present level, which shows his business acumen and means.
When Xiao Jinghe, who got off the carriage with a bowl of fragrant meat swallow in his hand, appeared in front of the two of them, Qian Youcai was taken aback, and immediately looked at the smiling Yang Yanqing.
"Guan Qian is joking. This is my wife. I'm newly married, and I haven't had time to entertain relatives and friends with wine." Yang Yanqing smiled softly, and then stretched out her hand in front of Xiao Jinghe.
Xiao Jinghe lowered his eyes to look at the white, slender and bony hand in front of him, said nothing, put his hand on Yang Yanqing's palm and got off the carriage.
Qian Youcai's eyes changed, and he didn't say a word to counteract the rebellion to the sudden extra man and wife in the Heqi Villa who had never been impatient to attend the party. The proprietor's wife doesn't look like she came from a merchant's family, she looks fierce and cold like a Jianghu person who is not easy to mess with.
Thinking of the intricate and difficult connection behind Heqi Mountain Villa and the forces in the world, I have more thoughts about this strange-looking couple in front of me.
Qian Liangcai greeted immediately with a haha and a smile: "Master Yang, Mrs. Yang, please come inside!"
When Yang Yanqing heard the words Mrs. Yang, his back straightened immediately, and he glanced at Xiao Jinghe complacently.
Xiao Jinghe clicked his tongue in his heart, always feeling that a certain fox's tail is really... not enough.
Entering the Lanyue Pavilion, the inside is similar to the usual flower buildings. The dancers on the high stage in the middle are dancing, and the musicians are sitting next to them.
Yang Yanqing turned his head and laughed with Xiao Jinghe in a low voice: "The first and second floors of Lanyue Pavilion are places for drinking and having fun, and the upper two floors are for trading some rare treasures and antiques. I come out to eat for my husband and several business managers. Wine always goes to the third or fourth floors, and there is no heart to ask Liu for flowers, Madam, are you relieved now?"
Xiao Jinghe glanced at Yang Yanqing, with an arrogant and cold look on his face: "Is this going to drive you away?" After finishing speaking, his sharp eyes pressed on Qian Liangcai who was looking at him from the corner of his eyes.
Yang Yanqing smiled flatteringly and said, "Ma'am~"
Only then did Xiao Jinghe raise his hand to straighten Yang Yanqing's skirt, then squeezed the man's hand in the sleeve, and whispered: "Drink less, be careful not to catch cold." Then he turned and left.
Faced with Qian Liangcai's mischievous eyes, Yang Yanqing walked leisurely into the wing room, and said, "This musician's skills are pretty good, where did Boss Qian dig out the treasure?"
***
On the other side, Xiao Jinghe, who was separated from the others, held the jade pendant that Yang Yanqing had stuffed into his palm, casually wandered through several shops on the third floor, and not long after, he shook off the tail following him, and quietly entered the back-shaped corridor. In a small shop on the left.
This shop sells calligraphy and paintings. It is not eye-catching among the shops selling antiques and rare things on the third floor, and there are not many people in the shop. When the anecdote saw Xiao Jinghe coming in, he bowed first after being surprised, and bowed to lead Xiao Jinghe Go straight to the inner hall.
The woman in the bright red riding suit outside saw such a handsome and upright man in the red dress, she blushed first, put down the calligraphy and painting in her hands, and when the shopkeeper came out, she winked the maid to ask.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, with a look of doubt: "This..."
"What is this? Do you know who this girl is?" Seeing that the shopkeeper wanted to shirk, the woman in riding clothes suddenly changed her expression, and she was already holding the whip in her hand.
"Miss Lian, it's really embarrassing for a villain. The one just now..." Of course the shopkeeper knows who this woman is. The domineering and unscrupulous Lian family?
The maid behind the woman leaned over and whispered, "Miss, the young master is still downstairs..."
Today, the brothers and sisters came to Lanyue Hall to meet with distinguished guests. If the young lady made a noise here and disturbed the young master, there would be another wave of turmoil in the mansion when they go back.
The maid's reminder was enough. After all, the woman was not out of her mind. She bit her lip and thought for a while, then raised her chin and asked the shopkeeper: "Who is your master? There is nothing you can't say, right?"
The shopkeeper paused, but suddenly a voice came from his ear, and he felt relieved immediately, and answered to the woman: "Miss Huilian, the owner of this villain is Heqi Villa."
"Heqi Mountain Villa... I haven't heard much about it." The woman muttered, reluctantly glanced at the direction of the inner hall, flicked the whip and led the maidservant to turn her head and left.
In the inner hall, Xiao Jinghe looked pale, and the middle-aged man sitting opposite him shook his head and said: "This Lian family can be called the king of the state of Zhou. In recent years, it can be said that there are no taboos, and it can be said that the merchants complained. But The Lian family is also a smart person, and they are not tainted by those who should not be provoked. The powerful family in their hands saw that the fire could not burn their own heads, and because of the Lian family's status in the emperor's heart, they accepted the gift from the Lian family. Just open one eye and close one eye.”
"By the way, ma'am, the two people ordered by the owner of the villa will go to Zhou country tomorrow, do you want to go to Zhuangzi first?"
"Yeah." Xiao Jinghe didn't take the daughter of Lian's family seriously at all, and his face was still expressionless, "Send the news back and find out if the daughter of Grandma Gu has ever been to Zhou State and has had contact with Zhou State's royal family." .”
"Yes!"
After the middle-aged man took the order, he left first. Xiao Jinghe raised his hand and pressed the bank note in the lapel, walked out of the inner hall and asked the shopkeeper, "Is there a shop for custom-made jade articles here?"
The shopkeeper thought for a while, and pointed the direction to Xiao Jinghe: "Mrs. Hui, the shopkeeper of Yubingzhai is a skillful hand. If the carving is not too complicated, as long as the silver is in place, the object can be taken away on the same day."
***
"Is the owner of the village coming to Zhou country this time to show his strength in Zhou country?" Qian Liangcai laughed.
Looking out from the wing room, the dancers and musicians on the high platform in the middle of the office building have retreated, replaced by pieces of auction exhibits. People from all over the world come to bid for rare and rare treasures and get them at high prices.
Yang Yanqing waved the wine cup in his hand, and said with a smile, "I just came to see the customs of a foreign country. It's too late to say something big. But Manager Qian hasn't been back to Daqing for so many years, so he must be like a fish in water. home?"
"What is Master Yang talking about?" The smile on Qian Liangcai's baby face froze for a moment, he put down the wine glass in his hand, raised his hand towards Daqing, and said solemnly: "My Qian family It is the imperial merchant of Daqing, so naturally Daqing will always be my home for Qian Liangcai."
"It's just a joke, why is Guan Shi doing this?" Yang Yan responded lightly, as if he didn't notice Qian Liangcai's solemn expression, but the next sentence raised Qian Liangcai's heart that had just let go Get up, "Yang found out that two months ago a batch of goods came to Zhou from Shanghai? Counting the time, the convoy should have arrived, right?"
Qian Liangcai resisted the flustering in his chest, and tried his best to keep his voice steady: "There are quite a lot of goods going from south to north, and the ones coming from Shanghai are mostly good wine. Did Master Lao Yang intervene in person?"
"It's fine if it's just fine wine, but if it's a beautiful woman... it's hard to say, Guanshi Qian." Yang Yanqing moved his wrist, and there was an extra post between his fingers, and he pointed at the plain white post and pushed towards Qian Liangcai. In the past, there was no rush, "What kind of errand is Heqi Villa doing? Manager Qian should have heard some rumors. Now that some distinguished customers have paid a high price to check this batch of goods. Everyone is open to do business. Please ask Manager Qian for convenience." .”
Qian Liangcai forced a smile and said: "Master Yang, you also understand that the key to this business is to keep the news closed. The auction money is not easy to earn, we are all just businessmen, if we leak the news in advance and attract thieves to steal and rob, Down here... well, it's really hard to resist."
Yang Yanqing thought for a while: "Forget it, since Guanshi Qian bought this table of wine today, Yang will send a message to Guanshi Qian."
Qian Liangcai's expression did not soften, and he finally understood that Yang Yanqing's visit to Zhou State this time might be aimed at him from the beginning.
"Just half a month ago, a vicious disease inexplicably appeared in the homes of many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital. Pustules the size of copper coins appeared on the faces of the patients. A quack doctor came and cured these high-ranking officials who were suffering from inexplicable diseases."
After Yang Yanqing said that, he turned his eyes away from the treasures on the auction table, and turned his head to look at Qian Liangcai: "Guan Qian, do you know who this quack doctor is?"
Qian Liangcai's throat moved up and down, he closed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "...he belongs to Master Yang."
Yang Yanqing said leisurely: "Yang's village has a lot of idlers, and occasionally one or two can always come in handy. It's a coincidence, this list of nobles who have had serious illnesses, there are many people. interest."
"The Commander of the Zhenfu Division, the Governor of the East Factory, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment...these big figures in the capital are all staring at this list." Yang Yanqing poured a glass of wine, with a smile on his lips, "But Yang is a Businessmen, we businessmen only talk about money and business, and we are not interested in participating in government affairs, which is easy to play with family property."
Qian Liangcai was silent for a long time, let out a breath, and said slowly: "What business does Master Yang want to talk about?"
"It's refreshing to talk to smart people." Yang Yanqing smiled at the corners of his eyes. He looked at the gentle and approachable people, but in Qian Liangcai's eyes, there was a cold scrutiny for no reason. The Chen couple who are in business will go to Zhou State to do some small business in a few days, and they also ask Qian Guanshi, a local snake, to take care of him a little bit more on weekdays, so as to hide his identity."
"...Villa Master Yang has a good method."
The news of the illness of the nobles in the capital may be delayed, but there is no reason for Qian Liangcai not to know about such a big and publicized case between the Chen family and Huashan faction in Shanghai?Whether the Chen couple, who were clearly sentenced to exile, would appear in the state of Zhou or work for the Heqi Villa, after thinking about it carefully, this is not something that can be done with money.
What's more, the Chen family and his wife were the base of the previous business in Shanghai, Qian Youcai never thought that this so-called sore might be the work of the person in front of him.
I just don't know what the person in front of me is drawing...
Yang Yanqing smiled: "The money manager is overrated. It's just that I have some money and I know some people. It all depends on the support of my friends."
Qian Liangcai parted his lips, and seemed to have a wry smile for a moment: "When I agreed to do this business, I knew that one day someone would come to my door, but I didn't expect that the first person to be investigated was not the official, but an old friend. "
Yang Yanqing smiled slightly, and said in a soft voice: "Officials judge cases, and they can't rub the sand in their eyes. But with Yang, anyone who is useful can be a friend."
"What if it becomes useless one day?" Qian Liangcai is actually not familiar with the owner of Heqi Mountain Villa, who has always been in-depth and secretive, but he was able to build Heqi Mountain Villa with his bare hands when he was a teenager. He has developed into such a behemoth silently in just a few years, and his mentality and resourcefulness are obviously not to be underestimated.
The arc of Yang Yanqing's lips outlined a just right sarcasm, but he softly comforted him: "It's better for Guanshi Qian to find a way to make himself more useful."
The author has something to say:
Actually, I think my husband must look good in pink, but I really don't want the prince to wear it, hot eyes (closed eyes)
