Chapter 583 Wuchang Encounter

Leaving Qichun County, Liu Jing crossed the river and came to Wuchang. This was the first time he returned to Jiangxia in the past year. Liu Jing did not include Jiangxia in his inspection plan. This time he just went to Qichun County to inspect the wooden cattle and took a look at Jiangxia on the way. Just like a married woman returning to her natal home, let's take a look at his rising place.

Liu Jing did not disturb the government, but only brought a few entourages disguised as businessmen to Wuchang City. He wanted to know the current situation of Wuchang after he left, instead of listening to the officials' reports. Jiangxia is like his hometown. It always has a special feeling.

Wuchang City is more lively than before. Ever since Jiangdong fully liberalized its trade with Jingzhou, the business of Wuchang City has further flourished. At the same time, the Tao family has let go of all trade in goods except for the three strategic materials of salt, iron and grain. This has brought huge business opportunities to many small merchants, and the cargo capacity of the nearly [-] merchant ships of the Tao family has also ensured the rapid development of trade between Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

Almost overnight, [-] small commercial firms were established in Wuchang City. On the wharf, numerous merchant ships carried the banners of various commercial firms, while the Tao family was hidden behind them. Huge merchant ships and dozens of merchant ships stood on the wharf. A warehouse, these are the businesses of the Tao family. The Tao family has transformed from a merchant to a provider of basic commercial facilities, and the famous double carp logo of the Tao family has gradually disappeared in the shopping malls.

The wharf is bustling with businessmen gathering to talk about business opportunities and profits from various places. The boatmen are nervously manipulating the big boats and docking from the narrow waterway. Smart business executives can be seen everywhere in a hurry, going to Going through various procedures, dozens of elephants are helping to unload goods in an orderly manner by the pier, and teams of peasants are walking to the warehouse with their goods on their backs, their bronze backs shining in the sun.

Liu Jing got off the boat and walked towards the city with a few followers. He put on a false beard, his red beard was like a beard, and his eyebrows were thicker and thicker. People could recognize him. Robe, leather belt around the waist, and a turban wrapped around it, it looks like a Hu merchant from the Western Regions. In Wuchang City, Hu merchants are not uncommon, they can be seen everywhere.

It was already noon at this time, Liu Jing turned around and said with a smile to several followers: "Let's go to Bishui Tower for lunch!"

Bishuilou is near Dongcheng. It was Liu Jing's favorite tavern in the past. He especially liked a famous dish there, fish roe in sauce. His son's full moon wine was bought here. It has been a long time since he came to Wuchang. Liu Jing remembered it again. The deliciousness of fish roe in sauce.

The soldiers all knew his hobby, and they all laughed and said, "Now is the season when the fish roe is plump and plump, so I'm going to make Duoxi fast today!"

Liu Jing laughed, and walked towards the Bishui Tavern not far away with his hands behind his back. As soon as he arrived at the door, a bartender greeted him and warmly introduced him: "This is the first time for a customer to come to this small shop, and there are three unique features in this small shop."

Liu Jing waved his hand, "You don't need to introduce me, I've been here before, find me an elegant room on the third floor."

The bartender hurriedly laughed and said, "There is a spare room, please come with me!"

Liu Jing followed the bartender up to the third floor. There were seven or eight elegant rooms on the third floor. The bartender led them into an elegant room. Liu Jing frowned. This room was too small for two people to drink. With five entourages, he couldn't sit down at all.

"Is there anyone in Songhe Hall?" Liu Jing asked.

"There are guests, but it seems that there is only one person serving alone."

"Then change it!"

Liu Jing saw that the bartender looked embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "You guys are not good at talking, then I will discuss it with that customer!"

Liu Jing turned around and walked towards the Songhe Hall at the end of the corridor. There was the largest elegant room on the third floor. walked in.

There was no one outside, but there was one person sitting inside. It turned out to be a young woman with a slender figure, wearing a ponytail, and her slender neck revealing her snow-white skin. She was sitting at the table drinking alone. Liu Jing didn't expect it to be Woman, he hesitated for a moment and stopped, but felt that the woman's back was vaguely familiar.

At this time, the woman said lightly: "Didn't I say it? I want to be quiet, don't bother me."

As soon as the woman opened her mouth, Liu Jing immediately recognized his voice, and he blurted out, "Miss Cai!"

The woman's body shook suddenly, she turned her head suddenly, and stared closely at Liu Jing's pretty face. She was exactly the Cai Shaoyu back then, and her eyes were shining brightly. The splendor in his eyes suddenly dimmed, and his tone was full of disappointment, "I misidentified the wrong person, does this gentleman know me?"

Liu Jing suddenly laughed, "You didn't admit your mistake!"

Cai Shaoyu was stunned, hesitated for a while and said: "You really..." [

She looked at Liu Jing's figure again, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't help laughing, "It's really you, I didn't recognize you in disguise."

"Why is Miss Cai in Wuchang? Didn't you go to Xiangyang?" Liu Jing asked strangely.

"Indescribable!"

Cai Shaoyu forced a smile and said, "If the general doesn't feel condescending, how about sitting down and having a drink together?"

"When you meet an old friend in a foreign land, how can you not have a drink together."

Liu Jing smiled and saluted, then sat down beside Cai Shaoyu, when the bartender came in, Cai Shaoyu ordered: "Two servings of more than a dozen special dishes in the tavern, and another five pots, remember On my account."

Liu Jing saw that the jewelry and bracelets on her head were all made of silver, not gold, or even gemstones. Obviously she was not rich, so he quickly stopped her, "No need, I will do it myself!"

Cai Shaoyu smiled and shook her head, "Although the little girl is not rich, she can still afford a meal. How about doing me a favor?"

Seeing her insistence, Liu Jing no longer insisted, and told several soldiers: "You drink outside, order what you want to eat, and pay for it yourself, and you can leave me alone."

Liu Jing ordered a few more side dishes that he liked, ordered two jugs of wine, and then smiled at Cai Shaoyu: "That's okay!"

Seeing that he was very understanding of the world, Cai Shaoyu nodded, "That's it!"

The bartender went, Cai Shaoyu took a clean ear cup from the side, filled it with his own wine, and asked with a smile: "When did the general come to Jiangxia, there is no news at all."

"I just entered the city. I went to Qichun County. I changed my way to Wuchang and took a look in private. I didn't want to disturb the government."

"Is it a private visit from Weifu?" Cai Shaoyu asked with a smile.

Liu Jing saw that she no longer had the savage and self-willedness of the past, and became gentle and amiable, and immediately had a good impression of her. In fact, after going through so many things, his grievances towards the past have already faded away. Moreover, he knew that although Cai Shaoyu was Liu Cong's wife in name, she had a real name. After Liu Cong went to the north, he severed the relationship with her.

"It's a private visit on Weibo! What about you? I thought you would go to Xiangyang with Cai Jin, why are you in Jiangxia?"

Cai Shaoyu sighed slightly, "My brother has already quarreled with his wife twice because of me. I didn't want to embarrass my brother again, so I went back to Wuchang and bought an old house with my little savings. Let's retire here!"

"Then you can go to Cai's Mansion, doesn't the old man welcome you too?" Liu Jing asked while watching her.

Cai Shaoyu shook her head, "Grandpa no longer cares about family affairs. You know the eyes of the clansmen can kill people. They said that it was because of my father that the Cai family declined. If my father is gone, they will naturally blame me."

"What about your father?"

Cai Shaoyu suddenly lowered her head, she bit her lips, her eyes finally turned red, and a string of tears fell down, Liu Jing then remembered something Cai Jin had said to him, it seemed that Cai Mao wanted his daughter to marry Xia Houyuan's son, Cai Shaoyu resolutely refused, and Cai Mao severed ties with her daughter in a rage.

Liu Jing felt apologetic, and looked at Cai Shaoyu silently. At this moment, the door opened, and several bartenders came in with drinks and dishes. Cai Shaoyu quickly wiped away tears, forced a smile and said, "I made you laugh."

Liu Jing drank the wine in the glass, pondered for a while and said: "You should go back to Cai's house, I will say hello to Cai's house, I believe they will treat you kindly."

Cai Shaoyu poured him a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Thank you for your relationship. I am very happy, but I really don't want to go back to the Cai family. Maybe Cai Shaoyu is dead. I am another person. I want to live again. Jiang Xia, I am living well by myself, I still have a little savings left by my mother, at least I will not worry about life."

"no!"

Liu Jing resolutely rejected her idea, "If I don't know your recent situation, maybe I won't care, but since I met you today, I will care!"

"Does the majestic Jingzhou Shepherd want to help this weak girl like me?" Cai Shaoyu smiled self-deprecatingly.

She suddenly stopped smiling, looked at Liu Jing, and said very firmly: "I repeat, I will never go back to Cai's house, it ruined my life there, and I will never go back again."

"You come home with me!" Liu Jing said lightly.

"Come home with you!" Cai Shaoyu was stunned, "Why?"

"It's nothing. I'm a domineering person. I don't make excuses for what I want to do, because I want you and me to go home. It's as simple as that."

Cai Shaoyu stared at him blankly, with a hint of desolation slowly showing in her eyes, she took a breath and said in a low voice: "You know, what is the thing I regret most in my life? It's been seven years, I'm not here all the time Regret for the waywardness at the beginning, a woman can't go wrong, once she goes wrong, her life will be over."

Liu Jing said silently: "But it was the family's decision to let you marry Liu Cong, and there is nothing you can do about it. That's not your fault."

Cai Shaoyu was startled, she raised her head, stared at Liu Jing for a while, her lips moved, she seemed to want to say something, but she didn't say it in the end, in fact, why didn't she want to go to Liu Jing?It's just that she no longer has the qualifications and courage.

"Thank you for your concern, I will not bother you anymore, in fact Jiang Xia is also good, at least I don't have to think about the troubles of the past, and"

Speaking of this, Cai Shaoyu smiled wryly, "I have no reason to live in your house, your wife won't agree, so forget it!"

Liu Jing held her hand, staring at her sad eyes with piercing eyes, "Jingzhou is up to me, follow me!"

Cai Shaoyu's nose moved, and she suddenly lay down on the table and burst into tears, venting her seven years of regret at this moment.
