The most unlucky crossing in history

Zhong Qiyun, who has personally experienced Lu Huang's inconsistency, is very clear about Lu Huang's personality.

Lu Huang's ability to become the richest man in Quanzhou can be regarded as a success, and he has naturally done a good job in this aspect.He nodded and bowed to the superior, and showed his so-called "goodwill" to those who were lower than him, just like Zhong Qiyun was as warm and generous as a brother to him, but he looked down on him in his heart.This is just because of Lu Huang's vanity, he enjoys the gazes of others, and wants to seek a sense of superiority from the inferiors.

He speaks nicely, but inwardly he is a person who is intolerant of others, cares about every penny, and is narrow-minded.

Back then, when Zhong Qiyun didn't follow Lu Huang's 'ideas' to be his subordinate, but ran to the sea instead, Lu Huang was already displeased.Later, I heard that He Minqing and He Minqing even went overseas with him. When he did not return to Quanzhou to do business with Lu Huang, this Lu Huang secretly used the contacts accumulated in Hangzhou City to make Zhong Qiyun's shipping business in the early stage of his career unable to continue.

It shows how intolerable he is, and that the people he despises don't follow the path he "kindly arranged", which shows his narrow-mindedness.

However, Zhong Qiyun thought that it was also because of this that he made up his mind to make a deal with Xie Wenyuan who could take his life at any time.

Now that I think about it, it seems that I have to thank Lu Huang for making a trip secretly?

In fact, what Lu Huang used was just a small trick. Zhong Qiyun didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't even have the energy to deliberately take revenge for such a small matter. Lu Huang wasn't worth his effort to deal with it.Afterwards, the development of the fleet was urgent, and he was even more lazy to take care of these trivial matters that could not be put on the table.

It's just that Lu Huang can't catch up with wealthy businessmen like this, and he doesn't expect his subordinates to be young. He's afraid that when he hears that the Zhong family's fleet is developing rapidly and even exceeds the size of the Lu family's caravan in just a few months, he will be angry. Is it green?

I don't know how such a person can convince himself to flatter and flatter someone he once looked down upon.

Zhong Qiyun was amused, but then he thought of Lu Huang's profit-oriented temperament, and felt nothing strange.

Now the size of the fleet and the development of Chengfeng Station, no matter which one is the first in the shipping industry in China, such a size has long been beyond the reach of Lu Huang. No matter how jealous Lu Huang is, he is still a thorough businessman after all. .When he was annoyed and realized that he was far from catching up, he would of course regard Zhong Qiyun as someone who could flatter and flatter him and bring him benefits.

say yes

Be it letter or conceit, Zhong Qiyun is sure that Lu Huang's visit to him is not just for "reminiscing about the old days". The freight business here in Quanzhou has been controlled by Lu Huang, a local snake. Zhong Qiyun is well aware of Lu Huang's nature. , has not been touched.

However, outside of Quanzhou, Guangdong and Guangxi to the south, Yuhuan to the north, and Chuzhou to the west... Zhong's Chengfeng Station has infiltrated aggressively in the past six months, blocking Lu Huang's way and trapping him in it , unable to move.

Chengfengyi freight is faster, more convenient, and cheaper than ordinary land transportation. Those merchants in Quanzhou who are close to Chuzhou will naturally choose Chengfengyi to deliver. Even if you don’t ask Zhong Qiyun, you can guess that the Lu family’s business is not good in the past six months. do it?

Lu Huang came here to ask for a way to make money. It is only natural and human for merchants to seek profit and avoid harm.

Even so, seeing Lu Huang walking towards him with a smile, Zhong Qiyun squinted his eyes and greeted him with a smile: "Oh! Isn't this old brother Lu? Why did you come to this port?"

"Didn't I hear that Brother Zhong came to Quanzhou, can't I wait to meet you to reminisce about the old days?" Lu Huang said as he walked up to Zhong Qiyun, and the two of them seemed to be close friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, and they had a big chat with each other hug.

"Good brother!" After parting, Lu Huang looked Zhong Qiyun up and down, and praised: "Brother Zhong is becoming more and more heroic!"

"Where is it, Brother Lu is even more handsome. Just now you walked towards me, and I wondered which young master it was."

"Hahahahaha," Lu Huang laughed and said, "Brother Zhong just knows how to talk!"

Speaking of this, he sighed again: "Speaking of which, it has been a year or two since we said goodbye once? Hey... Time really flies by in the blink of an eye. I still clearly remember the time when we brothers and sisters met each other together. The scene of the fierce fight between the provocateurs is still vivid in my memory... It's been so long..."

Zhong Qiyun also sighed with a smile: "Yes..."

When Lu Huang saw that Zhong Qiyun seemed to be recalling the past, and there was no perfunctory expression on his face, nor did he mention anything else, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Speaking of which, Brother Zhong did something very inappropriate."

"What's wrong?" Zhong Qiyun pretended to be confused.

"You said that this is a fateful friendship between us. Why didn't you go looking for my elder brother when you came to Quanzhou this time? Let me take care of you? Could it be that now that Brother Zhong is so prosperous that he doesn't look down on me as an old friend? ?”

"Oh, Brother Lu's words really upset me. How can I look down on you with our brother's affection? What's more, you are more respected than Brother Lu.

The status of a merchant is nothing to me now.In fact, this time I stopped at Quanzhou directly from Shendu, and I was planning to see you, brother, how did I know that you came to pick me up in person, I am really touched..."

Lu Huang suddenly said: "That's how it is...Speaking of it, Brother Zhong, it doesn't look like we're chatting at the seaside. I've prepared good wine and food at home, thinking about Brother Zhong. I am also from Quanzhou, so I am afraid that I have thought about the food in my hometown. Today I prepared authentic Quanzhou specialties, such as stewed duck and bound hoofs! If Brother Zhong doesn’t like it, why don’t you go home with me to try it?”

"Brother Lu actually specially prepared Quanzhou dishes for this?"

"That's natural."

Zhong Qiyun was very moved: "I don't think so, Brother Lu is so thoughtful, and even came to meet him in person, I just feel sorry." Then, Zhong Qiyun said: "Well, if that's the case, I'll go and arrange things on the ship immediately. , and then go back with my brother."

"it is good!"

After Lu Huang responded, Zhong Qiyun turned around and explained some things to Liu Wangcai, and then went to the cabin to get some items for Pei Wu and a few boatman-like thugs to take, and left with Lu Huang.

Lu Huang's house is located in the middle of the most prosperous street in the south of Quanzhou City, but the streets that run through the north and south are full of lively shops. The door of Lu's mansion does not look tall and wide, but after entering, it is found that the interior is wide and beautiful. Meticulous and quite Jiangnan style, unique.

Zhong Qiyun suddenly remembered that He Minqing mentioned that the street shop where Lu Huang's house is located is all owned by him, Lu Huang, or he runs the property by himself or leases it out, which makes a lot of money. Thinking about it this way, maybe this shop will be full of things in the future. As for the land of the Lu Mansion, if this is the real calculation, the area of ​​Lu Huang's house must be much smaller than that of the Hu's house in Hangzhou.

Thinking in this way, Zhong Qiyun, who followed Lu Huang into the mansion, looked around while listening to Lu Huang's introduction of his mansion. When he reached a pavilion, he really saw a closed overpass across the street, connecting the east and the west. land.

Zhong Qiyun sighed sincerely: "Brother Lu really has a big business, it's amazing."

Lu Huang laughed loudly, and his words were full of pride: "Brother Zhong knows that I also like the scene in the south of the Yangtze River. I have spent a lot of money to build this garden over the years."

"It's stunningly beautiful and enviable."

"Hahahahahahaha, Brother Zhong is joking, right? Who doesn't know that your Chengfeng Station, Chengfeng Pavilion, and Zhong's fleet are making a lot of money? This house, you want your own

It is easy to get, so that people are enviable. "

Zhong Qiyun smiled and shook his head: "Brother Lu was joking." He just said so, but he didn't deny what Lu Huang just said.

Seeing Lu Huang's eyes light up a little after hearing what he said, Zhong Qiyun lowered his eyes slightly, only smiled and listened to Lu Huang continue to introduce the house.

When Zhong Qiyun and his party arrived in front of the main house, Lu Huangfa's wife, two sons and a daughter greeted him.

Lu Huang smiled and introduced to Zhong Qiyun: "This is my first wife."

Zhong Qiyun cupped his hands and bowed: "It turned out to be my sister-in-law. When I was doing business with Brother Lu, I often heard him mention it. Today I saw her, and she really has a striking temperament."

As he spoke, he raised his hand slightly, and Pei Wu, who was beside him, took the box he had brought and sent it to Zhong Qiyun.

Zhong Qiyun opened the gift box, and inside was a string of fiery red charming and beautiful ruby ​​necklaces unique to Shendu Kingdom.

Mrs. Lu covered her mouth and nose lightly with the handkerchief in her hand, blocking the uncontrollable exclamation.

"When I came back from Shendu, I brought some precious stones with me. I gave them to my sister-in-law. I hope my sister-in-law won't mind."

Where is this object that can be disgusted?Not to mention the value of the Shendu gemstone, but this thing is so rare that even if you have money, you can't buy it. Now the queen is said to only have one!

Mrs. Lu stretched out her hand to refuse, but her eyes never moved away from the gemstone necklace: "This, this is too precious..."

Zhong Qiyun didn't say that he actually had a boat with this thing, but said: "I brought it specially for my sister-in-law, you can take it."

Lu Huang was also taken aback by Zhong Qiyun's handwriting, he coughed twice, and the smile in his eyes deepened: "Brother Zhong brought it for you, you just accept it."

"Then...then thank you Boss Zhong." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Lu happily took the box and asked the maid beside her to keep it well.

Afterwards, Lu Huang introduced Zhong Qiyun's two sons, Lu Jin and Lu Chong, and Zhong Qiyun also gave him some playthings. Although the value was not high, they were rare.

After Zhong Qiyun greeted the two of them, Lu Huang glanced at his very pretty daughter.

Lu Xuexian has been looking at Zhong Qiyun since Zhong Qiyun came over, and when Zhong Qiyun's gaze turned, she raised her delicate eyebrows arrogantly, and said, "Are you the Zhong Qiyun that daddy always mentioned?"

Hearing this, Lu Huang pretended to reprimand: "Hey, Xianxian, how can you call Boss Zhong's name so unreasonably."

Lu Xuexian stuck out her tongue at the one who scolded him, "Daddy hates it."

"you......"

Zhong Qiyun hurriedly persuaded: "Hey, Brother Lu, it's just a name, it's fine."

Lu Huang sighed helplessly: "Hey, it's all to blame.

I doted on her too much on weekdays, so I learned to have no rules. "

"It's good for girls to be more lively."

"Oh, this is the precious girl I often mentioned to you and He Minqing, and she is also my only daughter Lu Huang, Lu Xuexian." After finishing speaking, Lu Huang looked at Lu Xuexian again and said, "Xianxian, don't be naughty all day long!" , Come and call someone."

"Okay," Lu Xuexian curled her lips, she looked at Zhong Qiyun shyly, "Brother Qiyun is good."

It's just that before the words fell, Zhong Qiyun said with a smile on his face: "Brother Lu and I are good brothers with a deep friendship. We have a life-long friendship. If you call me brother again, you will be a generation away. Miss Lu still calls you brother." Let me call you uncle."
