When Zhao Chuanxin brought Hu Li back to the Hu family's mansion, Hu Gentang, his concubine, and Benjamin Goldberg were all waiting eagerly at the gate.
The concubine paced back and forth anxiously, Hu Gengtang stamped his feet anxiously, Abao dug his toes on the ground in embarrassment, while Benjamin Goldberg and Zhao Yixian shook their legs and ate melon seeds
Little The concubine was upset by the sound of cracking melon seeds, and yelled, "Can you please stop eating them?"
Benjamin Goldberg spat out the melon seeds and stuffed them again. One went into his mouth, "Okay, okay, I'll be careful next time."
Concubine""
Hu Gentang said, "You and your master are the same"
< p>At this moment, Zhao Chuanxin's voice came: "What happened between him and his master?"Hu Gentang's body trembled.
People are like Qiu Honglai Xin, how can this monk walk without making any movement
Hu Li lowered his head instinctively as his feet landed on the ground, as if he had done something wrong. But after being glared at by Zhao Chuanxin, he immediately shouted with dignity, "Father, mother, I am cured."
Hu Gentang and his concubine were surprised.
My son didn’t even want to say anything before. Why did Zhao Chuanxin take him out for a trip, but then he changed his temper when he came back?
The concubine hugged Hu Li and said, "Oh, I Hey, what are those fish scales reflecting on your face?"
Hu Li looked at Zhao Chuanxin, and when he saw Zhao Chuanxin's face full of encouragement, he coughed, "Don't care about those details."
p>Why does this tone sound familiar?
Hu Li continued, "Father, mother, this mage is an eminent monk with extremely powerful magic power. He took me to Weijia Village in an instant. He also knows the art of water escape. He cured the child's illness. Dad, please prepare a room for these distinguished guests to stay and rest."
Hu Gengtang was shocked. After so much time, I went to Weijia Village, and even when I came back, I didn’t ride a horse so fast.
Is this monk really an eminent monk?
And it’s been a while, It was the first time that my son said so many words.
"Quick, go prepare the guest rooms for you guys." Hu Gengtang ordered the housekeeper.
Zhao Chuanxin winked at Hu Li.
Hu Li said to his father, "Dad, I have something to tell you."
Hu Gentang originally wanted to follow A Bao there, but seeing that Hu Li's condition had just improved, he hesitated. , nodded and said, "Okay."
The housekeeper took Zhao Chuanxin and the others to allocate rooms.
This person is also just looking at the dishes.
Since A Bao has some friendship with Hu Gentang, he naturally wants a room.
The young master said that the monk had great power and deserved to be taken seriously, so he naturally had to be allocated a room.
As for Benjamin Goldberg and Zhao Yixian, he thought they were not important, so they were assigned a room.
"Everyone, these three rooms are connected, and the latrine is over there. If anything happens at night, just go to the front and call me."
Benjamin GoldbergHe jumped out and said, "I want this room."
Zhao Yixian went to the right, "Then I have to choose this room."
The Qing Dynasty respected the left, so the guest room on the left was naturally reserved. Give Zhao a salary.
The housekeeper was shocked to see Zhao Chuanxin and Abao entering the same room.
He raised his hand and said, "Oh, that's not the case."
"Bang Dang"
The door closed.
No one cares about him.
The housekeeper scratched his head, turned around and hurried away.
Go back and report to Hu Gengtang who is chatting with his son.
Hu Li said, "Dad, that Sheng Zuotang came to Hankou to raise money. I think our family should invest more money."
Hu Gentang became angry when he heard this and turned his face and said, " I’m not dead yet, so it’s not your turn to make the decision in this family.”
He also wanted to say that even if I have an eldest son who inherits the family business, you, a concubine, will not be ranked first.
But after all, he softened his heart and did not say it out loud.
Hu Li was a little afraid of me, but then he remembered Zhao Chuanxin's magical words.
What kind of fortune doesn’t care about you at all and will not mess with you; what kind of thing is it about letting go of your moral quality and enjoying a life of immorality?
In an instant, Hu Li felt as if he had nothing to worry about anymore.
"Dad, no matter who makes the decision, aren't we all a family?" Hu Li said carelessly, remembering another thing Zhao Chuanxin said to him on the way, "Although the salt industry is good, But the imperial court is in a period of change, and orders are changed overnight. Who knows whether the salt stamp system will be abolished in five or ten years? Eggs cannot be put in one basket."
In fact, if the salt stamp system is abolished, that is It was a long time ago.
However, rumors about canceling salt stamps would pop up from time to time, and Hu Gengtang was really worried about it.
"You, you, you came up with this." Hu Gentang's eyes widened, and then he said, "Even if what you say makes sense, do you know that although those mines are rich in output, they have suffered losses year after year?"
Hu Li took Zhao Chuanxin's opinion as his own without blushing at all. "Yes, I thought of it. It might have been a loss in the past, but think about it, now the imperial court has changed its official supervision to commercial affairs." For a complete business operation, let Sheng Zuotang be at the helm. Who is Sheng Zuotang, the richest man in the Qing Dynasty? Do you think Sheng Zuotang is as capable as you?"
Hu Gengtang blushed.
How the hell can it be compared?
Not only is he a red-topped man, he is also a master of business, a person with a keen sense of smell and a superb method.
Hu Li felt very happy when he saw his father hesitating and being silenced by his own refutation.
Sure enough, after letting go of the young man's ambition and face, and no longer thinking about his identity as a concubine, he was able to speak more freely. I just borrowed some insights from Master Cheng Kun and calmed my father down.
Hu Li seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he really had some personal opinions.
He said, "Dad, I heard that Sheng Zuotang came to Hankou with his fourth son. Why don't you pay homage today?"To curb Sheng Zuotang, I will go and establish a good relationship with the Fourth Young Master Sheng. For the sake of money, Sheng Zuotang would definitely not object. No wonder we can still climb high and be friends with the Sheng family for generations."
"This" Hu Gengtang is a little moved.
In feudal society, scholars, peasants, and merchants, businessmen like to cling to the powerful.
p>
Don’t you think that Bao Yunfang would entertain guests and celebrities in his Yiyuan Garden?
That Bao Yunfang still looks down on himself. If he and Sheng Xuanhuai were friends, but It's very honorable.
At this moment, the butler came.
The butler said, "Master, I don't know whether to talk about something or not." ”
The housekeeper knows the master’s character very well.
If others come, the master will treat them with leftovers. Therefore, usually no one will stay in the house to eat.
But when he arrived at Fireworks Willow Alley, the master became a wealthy man who spent a lot of money just to win the smile of the beauty.
It is hard to say that the reason why the master is so generous today is not because of the man named A Bao. The woman was beautiful, and she heard that A Bao was newly widowed, so she thought that the master had some evil thoughts.
Hu Gengtang was thinking about his son's words, and said unhappily, "If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Hu Li also adjusted his glasses and said, "What a decent man, what kind of mother-in-law and mother-in-law are you?"
The housekeeper was surprised that such strong words could be said in the mouth of the young master, it is really strange.< /p>
The young master has always had a low self-esteem.
Hu Gentang glanced at Hu Li with satisfaction.
In fact, he hoped that these sons would be born in the future. Instead of becoming a playboy or a loser, the housekeeper smiled bitterly, "That's right, that monk"
Hu Li corrected, "I want to call him Master Cheng Kun"
" Oh, Master Cheng Kun entered the same room as Abao."
Hu Gentang was originally smiling with relief, but his smile froze when he heard this, "You didn't see clearly whether it was dark or not"
< p>The housekeeper shook his head and said, "You can't be wrong."Hu Geng slapped the coffee table angrily, "That's really unreasonable. Hey, what kind of chaste and virtuous woman is this? From this perspective, from this perspective, she is really an adulterer and an adulteress."
The eyes of Hu Li next to him lit up. Master Cheng Kun taught me how to cook raw rice and cooked rice. It seems true. He leads by example
But he talks about passing the salary to Zhao. "Perhaps Master Cheng Kun was just chanting sutras and helping her sleep. ”
What a sleep aid
Hu Gengtang felt itchy in his heart, “Shut up, you know nothing”
Zhao Chuanxin went back to wash up and sat on the recliner She closed her eyes.
After a while, her breathing became even.
A Bao couldn't sleep. The scene of the Taihu Pirates, one moment showed Jin Kunxiu's face, and the next moment it changed to Zhao Chuanxin smiling hatefully at her at the stairs of Deming Hotel
She stood up and took out a bag from under the pillow. scissors.
This pair of scissors came to Hu's house when Zhao Chuanxin took Hu Li on a trip.
She sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Zhao Chuanxin who seemed to be asleep, her face turning green and red.
After a long time, she sighed and put the scissors back under the pillow.
As soon as I lowered my head, I suddenly saw a paper pig on the ground.
The paper pig is very flat, but it can stand very stable.
The paper pig’s head is tilted upward, as if it is looking at her.
A Bao found it a bit scary.
She bent down and wanted to pick up the paper pig and look at it.
However, the pig quickly moved its four short legs upside down and retreated one meter silently.
A Bao exclaimed in a low voice.
She quickly put on her shoes and took a few steps outside.
The paper pig kept a certain distance and followed slowly behind.
A Bao was frightened.
I have never seen such a weird scene in my entire life.
She walked backwards and came to the outside.
The paper pig always follows.
She opened the door, went out, and closed the door. The paper pig fell to the ground, flopped its limbs, and squeezed out of the door.
A Bao said "Ah" in fright and walked towards the center of the yard.
Finally, the paper pig just looked at her quietly at the door.
What Abao didn’t see was that in the room, next to Zhao Chuanxin’s recliner, the elf carving knife was slightly floating in the air by the smart gyroscope, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
Although the Elf Carving Knife cannot be extended when Zhao Chuanxin is unconscious, but even if it is only the size of a normal dagger, it does not lose its ability to cut iron like clay.
Until Abao put down the scissors, the smart gyroscope also put down the elf carving knife.
I don’t know how long the cold wind has been blowing outside. Abao felt cold and sleepy, and her eyelids were fighting. She finally couldn’t stand it any longer and took tentative steps back.
When the paper pig saw this, it crawled back through the crack of the door with all four legs.
After Abao entered the door, Paper Pig still kept a certain distance from her and kept retreating until he retreated to Zhao Chuanxin, standing still and looking up at her.
She finally understood.
This must be the trick of the perverted monk
A Bao smiled miserably, took the scissors out from under the pillow, put them in the drawer under the table, and then fell asleep.
Once people have an excuse to lie down, they will feel at ease.
The things in the world, whether you are persistent or not, only depends on a thought.
Early the next morning.
When Zhao Chuanxin and the others woke up, they were invited by the housekeeper who had woken up earlier, "Everyone, come with me to dine."
When they arrived at the restaurant, Zhao Chuanxin found that there were no Hu Gentang and Hu Gengtang. Immediately, he asked the butler waiting next to him, "There are so many dishes left last night, why isn't Boss Hu eating at home?"
The old butler's face darkened, and he said dryly, "Master, take the young master to Sheng Zuotang." I went to visit you at home."
Zhao Chuanxin felt happy, what a good boy, it's really worth it.I'll give you a try.
Hu Gentang took Hu Li outside Sheng Xuanhuai's temporary residence and told Sheng Xuanhuai's bodyguards about his willingness to invest.
The guards entered Tong Bing, while Hu Gentang and Hu Li waited outside with some anxiety.
After all, there is a huge disparity in status.
Outside the door, there were vendors wandering around early in the morning.
What Hu Gentang didn’t expect was that Sheng Xuanhuai went out to greet him in person.
Sheng Xuanhuai looked outside, and then said loudly, "Mr. Hu, I didn't expect you to come with money so early in the morning. How much money do you want to invest?"
Hu Gentang was a little confused. , he smiled flattered and whispered, "Sheng Zuotang, Mr. Hu's family is small, so he invested one hundred thousand taels, so he should accumulate some merit for his children and grandchildren. After all, Hanyeping Coal and Iron Works is related to the national economy and people's livelihood."
Unexpectedly , but Sheng Xuanhuai laughed loudly: "Hahaha, very good, one million taels of silver, Mr. Hu is really generous. There are several salt merchants who also want to increase capital, that's great, Mr. Hu, please come in quickly"
Hu Gentang was confused.
What do you mean?
Is this a threat?
I clearly meant one hundred thousand taels of silver
Besides, I didn’t invite you. Let others join in.
He didn't want to enter. It could be seen that Sheng Xuanhuai personally gave way. He really didn't dare to refute the face of this popular big shot.
After the two of them entered the mansion, Sheng Xuanhuai glanced outside casually, and followed in with a smile. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website to read for free without anti-theft
