Red Mansion Beijingwang

Chapter 365 Water Solubility: What is Lao Shizi’s “surprise”

Capital City, "Heaven and Earth".

In the spacious hall, representatives of the four princes and eight princes and other martial arts representatives, including the prince of Nan'an County, Niu Jizong of Zhenguo Duke, Jia She of Rongguo Duke, etc., gathered here.

Du Yuejiao was sitting next to Shui Rong, her graceful figure wrapped in a rose-purple immortal skirt. Her red lips were bright and her teeth were bright, and her pink face was charming and bright red.

At this moment, the beauty's charming jade face was calm, her beautiful eyes looked at the crowd of people in the hall, but her heart felt a little uneasy.

She originally thought that the young man was thinking of her, and her heart was very happy. She never thought that the young man was using this land to entertain guests. As a "vase", she played the role of a maid, pouring wine and pushing cups.

Shui Rong took the wine cup from Du Yuejiao, looked at everyone in the hall, and said, "I invite you all to come here today, not only to eat wine and listen to music, but also to discuss business matters."

Everyone in the hall understood clearly, and they did not think that the Prince of Beijing County invited them to gather together just to have wine and listen to music. After hearing what the young man said, they all put down their wine glasses.

On the other hand, Jia She, who was on one side, was not thinking, looking at the young girl beside him who was pouring wine, with a bit of obsession and reluctance in his eyes.

The rules of "heaven and earth" are a pleasant place. It would be a pity not to engage in flesh and blood business.

Fortunately, there are not too many restrictions in the guild hall, as long as the two of you are in love. When I show my majesty, I won't be able to win over a little maid.

Niu Jizong, as a die-hard member of the Beijing Palace, immediately said succinctly: "If your Majesty has any instructions, I would like to ask for your instructions. We will all follow His Majesty's guidance."

Within the Wuxun lineage, there are also various factions within it.

Shui Rong's face was indifferent. After raising his hand to signal, he waited until the hall quieted down and said, "Everyone, the king and His Majesty accidentally talked about sea trade a few days ago and intends to open the Yue Port in Zhangzhou, Fujian."

Everyone was startled when they heard this, and Prince Nan'an even frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to open the sea?"

Opening up ports for trade is not just opening up the sea.

Shui Rong raised his eyes and glanced at Prince Nan'an, nodded and said: "Uncle Shi, your Majesty is only opening a port to facilitate trade between the East and the West, not the sea."

Although it is indeed a move to open up the sea, it cannot be so straightforward. Sometimes it is necessary to have a fig leaf to prevent people who are in high places from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

When Prince Nan'an heard this, his eyes flashed and he asked, "What does my nephew mean by this? You might as well tell me directly."

He didn't believe that this great nephew would talk about this matter when he had nothing to do, fearing that he would do something wrong again.

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Everyone, among us nobles, except for a few who have strong family backgrounds, most of the others are just empty-handed. So it is hard to avoid borrowing money from the treasury to maintain our dignity. If you think about it, we have really lost our ancestors." s face."

After laughing at himself, Shui Rong lowered his eyes and saw the gloomy and unclear expressions of everyone in the hall, and continued: "The profits in sea trade are extraordinary, one trip can bring in tens of thousands of dollars, and this is a hugely profitable business. Even I, the king, feel excited in my heart.

Now His Majesty has entrusted me with the task of opening the port. In that case, why don't we cooperate and make some money from it, so as to supplement our family income. "

The Haimao cake is so huge that even the Prince of Beijing cannot swallow it all, and there is definitely a lot of opposition in the court. It would be unsafe if we don't join Wu Xun's group.

A group cannot just rely on slogans to brainwash people. The key is to have enough interests, focusing on maritime trade, to unite the Wu Xun lineage into an interest group and work hard to achieve one goal.

Everyone had different expressions when they heard the words, but the money and silk moved people's hearts, especially what Shui Rong said was true. Most of their Wuxun mansions were empty, and their need for money and silk was even greater.

Prince Nan'an's eyes flashed with brilliance. He stared at Shui Rong and said, "If your nephew has any ideas, you might as well discuss them in detail."

Obviously, the Prince of Nan'an County was moved. After all, no one could be indifferent to money. Maybe among the people present, there might have been someone who had secretly started sea trade. ·

Shui Rong smiled knowingly and said: "When His Majesty's decree is issued, Xiao Wang will set up a pavilion in Yuegang to manage maritime trade matters. All seagoing ships must be issued with ship guides. Those who fail to hold ship guides will be severely punished.

The second wife of the Xue family has been abroad all year round and is well-informed. We cannot suffer any loss if we let Tangmen lead the maritime fleet for trade. "

Officials are not allowed to compete with the people for profit, but rules are dead and people are alive, and loopholes in the law can be exploited.

As one saying goes, the most profitable ways are on the edge of the law.

After everyone heard this, it was clear that the benefits of maritime trade could be shared with everyone, but the initiative was still in the hands of the Beijing Palace. If not, the Xue family would not be named to lead the team.

But this is normal. If the water solution is too generous, they will still have concerns.

Prince Nan'an groaned, his eyes twinkling, and said, "But, this is a good idea."

No one will turn a blind eye to the ways to make money.

Seeing that everyone responded, Shui Rong was quite satisfied and said jokingly: "However, items such as copper, iron and saltpeter cannot be sold. Once discovered, the little king will not be able to hold his head up in front of His Majesty."

It's a joke, but it's actually a warning. They make money from sea trade, and it's probably just trivial matters. Even if the higher-ups knew about it, they would turn a blind eye and feel at ease.

However, items such as iron and saltpeter are contraband. If they are contaminated with these, not to mention being an enemy, there will be endless troubles. This is also one of the reasons why Shui Xiong arranged for the Xue family to lead the team, so as to prevent the people below from being greedy. If it is not enough, it will cause trouble.

After hearing this, everyone understood that business could be done, but prohibited business could not be done. After all, Shui Rong had previously stated that the matter had been handed over to him, and if something went wrong, he would not tolerate it even if he thought about it.

However, even if these most profitable contraband items are removed, the profit margins of sea trade are large enough to satisfy them.

The Prince of Nan'an County smiled and said: "Don't worry, my nephew, we know it well and will never embarrass my nephew."

When Shui Rong heard this, he felt satisfied. He said, "Be polite first, then fight. I can earn money with you, but if you are disobedient and hold back, don't blame him for being ruthless."

Taking a sip of his drink, Shui Rong stared at the middle-aged man in brocade clothes in the hall, and said pointedly: "One more thing, pirates are rampant in the Yuegang coastal area. In order to ensure the normality of maritime trade, vigorous rectification is needed. Ichiban.”

The middle-aged man is none other than the grandson of the former King of Xining County and the current heir of Xining County.

When the Prince of Xining County saw Shui Rong looking at him, he felt relieved and responded: "The Fujian area is under the jurisdiction of the former military governor's office. This matter still needs to be discussed in the governor's office."

The five military governors' offices each have their own jurisdictions and are basically independent of each other. Matters in Fujian are naturally handled by the former military governor's office.

Sending troops to suppress the bandits is not a matter of just opening your mouth. You also need to communicate with the Ministry of War.

Shui Rong had already pointed out the pros and cons, so he said no more. After all, it was related to their own interests, and they would not be careless.

After pushing cups and changing cups, everyone chatted again for a while, and then left with satisfaction.

After the people left, Shui Rong sat behind a few cases and took a long breath. Dealing with these official duties every day was not as interesting as chatting with his sisters.

It's just economics, which is a compulsory course for men. He doesn't want to learn from Baoyu in the original work, and end up seeing a vast expanse of white, unable to do anything.

At this time, a pair of tender white bare hands came over, the green-white fingertips fell on the young man's forehead, gently rubbed it, and said: "Master, if you are tired, why don't you go inside and take a rest?"

Previously, she had done her job as a maid throughout the whole process without saying a word. Now that they were the only two in the hall, she didn't have to worry about anything.

The alluring fragrance of roses lingered in Shui Xiong's nose, and he raised his eyes to look at the beauty, with something strange between his brows.

If I go to the inner room, can I rest?

Smiling, Shui Rong said: "Since the beauty invites you, how can I refuse?"

The original intention of coming to the "Heaven and Earth" for talks was to see Du Yuejiao, a little girl. We eat a lot of delicacies in the house, and it would be nice to eat wild game occasionally as a toothpaste.

And this Du Yuejiao is no better than others, there is no need to worry about her being water-soluble, she is a transparent person both front and back.

Du Yuejiao smiled, her figure trembling in front of her body, dazzling, her charming bright eyes flashing with a hint of cunning, she said coquettishly: "In that case, the Rong Nu family will arrange something, which will definitely satisfy the husband."

Shui Rong stared at the beauty's charming face and couldn't help but smile knowingly. He knew that this little girl was going to make some trouble again.

He reached out and squeezed a handful in front of the beauty, only to feel that it was soft and greasy. Shui Rong smiled and said: "If I am not satisfied, I will not be as good as you." Shui Rong would not dislike the things that add to the fun.

Faced with the sudden attack, Du Yuejiao didn't care, and she was still a little excited.

All in all, they haven't talked to each other for nearly half a year, so there is no resentment in the beauty's heart.

However, Du Yuejiao also understood her identity. The young man was a high and mighty prince, and there were countless beauties and beauties in the palace, so how could he care about her.

Moreover, the relationship between the two of them is a very pure acquaintance, a bit like each getting what he needs. It was because of her active seduction that the relationship was like this.

I originally thought that the young man was tired of her body, but now it seems that he still has the ability.

Du Yue lowered her beautiful eyes slightly, stared at the boy, blinked, and said with a smile: "No matter how bad the fruit is, it is still fruit. It is better than not eating it at all."

This is the truth, this fruit is very astringent, no matter how bad it is, it can't be any worse.

Shui Rong couldn't help but feel funny when he heard Du Yuejiao's pointed words. That is to say, one must have such a non-vegetarian attitude to arouse people's unbearable itch.

It's strange why the rich and powerful are greedy for brothels, because they want that taste.

Staring at the departing figure, the delicate body wrapped under the skirt was graceful and charming, and Shui Rong was looking forward to some "surprise" this little girl would give him.

After a while, Du Yuejiao came over with a smile on her face. There was a hint of shrewdness in her charming bright eyes, and she said with a smile: "Master, come with me."

Shui Rong didn't need to say anything when he heard this. He stood up and left as Du Yuejiao walked through the hall and along the gravel path.

"Isn't this the way to Luoyuexuan?"

"Luoyuexuan" is Du Yuejiao's courtyard, a place Shui Rong must go to when he comes to "Heaven and Earth". Even though he hasn't been there in the past six months, the old horse knows the way.

Du Yuejiao's plump body was squeezed against the young man's body, her beautiful eyes were shining, her head was leaning against the young man's ear, and she exhaled softly: "My master just followed my slave family, but my slave family has prepared a big surprise for my master. "

Shui Rong raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and slapped the beauty, laughing and scolding: "You are becoming more and more naughty."

"Surprise", what is Lao Shizi's "surprise"? It seems that managing "heaven and earth" has made Du Yuejiao as comfortable as a fish in water, and her methods have gradually become more sophisticated.

Du Yuejiao bit her pink lips lightly, and the burning pain behind her made her embroidered shoes close together a little, making her walk a little unsteady.

She clearly remembered that the young man would not show mercy every time.

Her beautiful eyes cast an angry look at the young man, and spat: "It's not that my master is cruel. If I hadn't been more attentive, I'm afraid my master would have abandoned me like a shoe."

In fact, the beauty just complained a few words. She was invited to be the curator in the first place, but while she was doing it, the young man changed his mind and sat on her.

To put it bluntly, even if the young man is tired of her, with this property in hand, at least he will have no worries for the rest of his life.

Shui Rong smiled and said nothing when he heard the words, letting the beauty hold him and move forward.

Walking to a courtyard, I opened the bead curtain and walked in. The pink curtains were all around, giving off a sense of neon. The remaining smoke curled up from the copper stove placed on the tables. The room was filled with refreshing warmth. fragrant.

"You do have a heart."

Atmosphere is often a catalyst, giving people a visual impact, and Du Yuejiao obviously put a lot of thought into it.

Seeing the young man looking around, Du Yuejiao couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, pursed her lips, and said with a sweet smile: "Hey, there is a "surprise", I wonder if my boss is satisfied?"

"."

Shui Rong was startled when he heard this. He originally thought that the atmosphere created was a "surprise", but he was mistaken.

Following Du Yuejiao's eyes, there was a woman sitting in front of the pink mandarin duck tent. Her black hair was hanging down and tied with only a pink hairband. The woman's skin was tinged with pink color, and there was a faint fragrance. Pink is so beautiful.

Is this a surprise? It's really a big surprise
Shui Rong stared at the beauty and couldn't help but sigh.

"The slave family has met the young master."

The beauty in front of the Yuanyang tent clenched her embroidered handkerchief tightly, lowered her head and bowed her head in greeting in a low voice, with a slight tremor in her voice, obviously feeling uneasy.

Shui Rong glanced at Du Yuejiao sideways, with a slightly unnatural look on his face, and said, "Yuejiao, why is Miss Hong here? What are you doing?"

That's right, the beauty sitting in front of the Yuanyang Tent is one of the top stars of the "Heavenly Family", the original oiran Yipinhong.

Du Yue looked at the young man with a charming face, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said with a chuckle: "Don't you think someone as smart as my boss knows what this means?"

Everyone was in front of her, but she didn't believe that the young man still didn't know the truth. She was afraid that he would pretend to be stupid and act dumbfounded.

Water soluble: "."

Well, he did know it well. Since Yi Nian Hong was here, looking so shy and timid, he thought that the so-called "surprise" was her.

This little bitch has even started doing the work of an old bustard. It’s really disappointing.
Seeing that the young man was "unmoved", Du Yujiao's beautiful eyes flashed, and she stepped forward and said, "My sister heard that my boss was exhausted, so she wanted to help him push his butt, so as to save my boss from the hard work."

Shui Rong was speechless upon hearing this. He really knew how to play.

Looking at the beauty in front of the Yuanyang tent, I saw that her bare hands were almost holding the embroidered handkerchief to pieces, and she was probably very worried.

Stepping forward, Shui Rong reached out and pinched the beauty's chin, staring at the beauty's beautiful red face. Under the long eyelashes, those charming bright eyes showed a bit of panic, and said: "Don't be nervous, I don’t know how to eat people.”

In view of her understanding of Du Yuejiao, this young lady is bold, but she will not force others to do anything. Since Yi Tian Hong is here, I think she is willing to do it.

A daughter's family has no regard for shame. As a man, how can you stand still? You should move forward boldly, with a long spear in your hand, and then the spear will shoot out like a dragon.

Yi Hongfang felt shy and happy, her charming face became more and more gorgeous, her clear and bright eyes looked at the young man affectionately, and her eyebrows were filled with joy.

As for the young man, he had paid attention to him as early as when he helped her escape from the sea of ​​suffering. Later, when he learned of his great righteousness to establish "heaven and earth", and he was in a shelter with these romantic women, his heart gradually began to ripple.

How could a man who was already so glorious and glamorous, coupled with this unique respect, not tempt these daughters who were living in the mud?

Earlier, Du Yuejiao felt a sense of crisis because Shuirou had not come to look for her for a long time. After knowing the affection in her heart, the two hit it off. They did not seek to tie the boy down, but they wanted him to remember them in his free time. That’s it.

Shui Rong noticed the affection between the beauty's eyebrows and was suspicious for no reason. He and Yi Nian Hong didn't have much interaction, so where did the affection come from.

Could this be another person who fell in love with his peerless appearance? Tsk, he is really the daughter killer.

Just as he was sighing with emotion, he felt plump and soft behind him. He heard a joking voice coming from his ears, saying softly: "How about I help my boss push me first?"

Shui Rong chuckled when he heard this and said, "You are a good sister. In that case, why don't you take more care of your sister? How about moisturizing it first?"

When Du Yuejiao heard this, her heart changed. She gave the young man an angry look with her beautiful eyes, and immediately squatted down. After a moment of rustling, a warm feeling surged into her heart.

It has to be said that Shui Rong likes Du Yuejiao's cleverness and understanding of her own thoughts. She often knows how to respond with just one look.

Seeing this, Yi Nianhong's apricot eyes widened, her small cherry mouth opened wide, and she felt her heart tremble.

Can you still play like this? Don't you think it's dirty?

Shui Rong also noticed a blush of surprise, stretched out his hand to pinch the bright face, and joked: "You have to learn carefully, and you will be able to reap the benefits in the future."

When Yi Nianhong heard this, she felt shy and embarrassed. She agreed to serve him well, but she didn't expect such a move. I'm afraid she couldn't do it!
