Rebirth of a prosperous doctor girl

Chapter 140 Wang Jiulang's Pampering
"It should be locked up. After August, Dou Haoxiao left Nanjing and the new magistrate took office, and then handed him over. This kind of person who eats inside and out, and repays his revenge, let him sit in prison and be punished." There are some punishments. In this way, it can also deter other people and let them see the fate of going against the Shen family."

Shen Yucheng didn't speak, but Shen Suying was filled with righteous indignation: "Chongyang, daddy locked him up not to teach him a lesson, on the contrary, daddy planned to lock him up for a while to punish him and then let him go! I told elder brother, No matter how much the second elder brother tried to persuade daddy, he didn't listen, and instead he said he reprimanded us, you say you are angry or not!"

As Shen Suying said, she winked at Gu Chongyang, hoping that she could persuade Shen Yucheng.

Gu Chongyang also felt that this punishment was too light: "Uncle, I know that you follow the Shen family's ancestral precepts and cannot bear to attack your fellow clansmen, but the fact is that Shen Yuluo puts the inside out first. Have you ever thought about what would have happened to Shen Hetang if Wang Jiulang hadn't appeared in time? Such a result. You are the head of the Shen family, once you go to jail, other shops will be closed down by Dou Haoxiao just like Shen Hetang."

"At that time, will Shen Yuluo take care of my aunt and the Shen family because of our pity? He won't, he will only add trouble, take advantage of the fire, and take the family business you have earned over the years with Dou Haoxiao for himself. It is Shen Yuluo's biggest purpose in taking risks to frame Shen Hetang."

As Gu Chongyang's words fell, Shen Yucheng's face became more and more ugly. He didn't know that Shen Yuluo's wolf ambition was just because his fellow clan couldn't bear to kill him.

"That being said, his surname is Shen after all."

"Uncle, if you are kind and soft-hearted at this time, and other people have learned and behaved, wouldn't it bring down the family style of the Shen family?" Gu Chongyang said firmly: "I think it's better to be like this, since uncle, you want to let Shen Yuluo go, then let it go." Let him go. It's just that Shen Yuluo must never stay in the Shen family again. Such a black sheep will not hesitate to kill his own family in order to achieve his goal. He must open a ancestral hall, be removed from the genealogy, and be driven out of the Shen family. As for whether he is prosperous in the future, it doesn't matter. No matter whether you are down or down, that has nothing to do with the Shen family. Uncle, this will be all right."

Since my uncle can't make up his mind, let her make up his mind: "You care about the feelings of the same clan, but some people have lost their conscience, not to mention the feelings of the same clan, even husband and wife who have been married for more than ten years, and have children. Use it as a pawn without hesitation."

These words touched Shen Yucheng's mind, and remembering what happened to his younger sister, he made up his mind not to hesitate, and said: "Chongyang is right, I will do as you say."

The carriage arrived at Shen's house very quickly, Shen Qian came up as soon as he entered the door, and said with a little excitement: "Father, you are finally back. Congratulations, congratulations, our Shen family will soon do business with noble people, and it will be prosperous."

Shen Su hurriedly said: "Brother, we just came back, where did you get the news from?"

Shen Qian was stunned for a moment, Shen Yucheng knew that what the eldest son said was not the same thing as what he knew, he asked, "What happened?"

Shen Qian, who has always been prudent, had a happy expression on his face: "Not long after you left the house, the Guangdong Thirteen Banks sent the vice president of the chamber of commerce over in person, saying that they wanted to negotiate a big deal with us, and we have been waiting for a long time. .”

Since the first emperor opened the sea ban, there have been countless sea trade merchants in the Fuguang area. The thirteen largest merchants in the middle have joined forces to establish a sea trade chamber of commerce, known as the Guangdong Thirteen Banks. These thirteen merchants are all A rich man with a lot of money.

The Shen family has a small boat company in Fujian, with only three boats.Shen Yucheng is well aware of the principle of grasping the large and letting go of the small. Although the number is small, the three ships are large in scale, and each of them can go to sea.Therefore, Guangdong Shisanhang, which often hired the Shen family's boats, gradually became familiar with the Shen family.

The Shen family also wanted to start a maritime trade business before, but they didn't do it for a long time.One is that there are not enough manpower, and they don't know much about ocean trade.Second, the Thirteen Banks are too domineering, they join forces to suppress small merchants, and they don't allow others to get involved. Ordinary people can't get a piece of the action from them.As time passed, Shen Yucheng no longer expected to do overseas trade.

Unexpectedly, today the vice president of Guangdong Thirteen Bank would come to discuss business in person. Shen Yucheng's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel that today is really a happy event.

"Where is the vice president?" Although Shen Yucheng is happy, he can still maintain a stable mood. After all, from the previous experience of cooperating with the Thirteen Banks, they are by no means ordinary people, and it is even less likely that they will lose their fat. Give it up to someone else.

"Waiting in the study."

Shen Yucheng nodded: "Okay, let's go now."

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, faintly feeling that this might not be a good thing.Because as far as she knew, King Rong's successful rebellion in the previous life was achieved by trading at sea to make money, recruiting troops, building weapons, and bribing courtiers.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the possibility was higher: "Uncle, don't go."

She was terrified that everything she had done would be in vain.I'm afraid that the Shen family will still be entangled with King Rong in the end.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Gu Chongyang's serious face, Shen Yucheng stopped in his tracks: "Why is your child's face so ugly, is it uncomfortable?"

"I'm fine." Gu Chongyang shook his head and asked, "Do you know the name of this vice president?"

Shen Qian smiled and said: "Oh, I read the name post of the vice president, his surname is Shui, and his name is Shui Xianzhou."

Gu Chongyang's originally ugly face turned pale again. This Shui Xianzhou was also one of King Rong's heroes. There was only one official with the surname of Shui in Daqi, and it was hard for her to ignore it even if she wanted to.

Her breathing was a little short, and the feeling that she tried her best to protect her mother but was unable to change her fate came back.

But this time, it was far clearer and deeper than before, and it frightened her even more.

Her voice trembled slightly: "Uncle, don't go to the study, I have something to tell you."

She was always safe, but when she suddenly behaved like this, Shen Yucheng was startled, and hurriedly asked Shen Suying to help her: "Chongyang, what's wrong with you? Go and get a doctor!" The latter sentence was addressed to Shen Rang.

"No need to go, uncle, I'm a doctor myself, I'm fine. Can I have a few words with you alone."

Shen Yucheng was very worried. He frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Okay, let's talk in your yard."

Back in the courtyard, without waiting for Gu Chongyang to speak, Shen Yucheng asked: "The road was fine, but when you heard the name of the vice president, your face changed drastically. What's going on? Is there something wrong with this vice president?"

"Yes, uncle." Gu Chongyang grabbed Shen Yucheng's sleeve, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw: "This Shui Xianzhou, like Dou Haoxiao, belongs to King Rong. It's not just him, Even the entire Thirteen Banks in Guangdong have been bought by King Rong."

Shen Yucheng also broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help saying in amazement: "How do you know?"

"I don't know how to tell you. Uncle, anyway, this Shui Xianzhou is not a good person. If he wants to do business with the Shen family, you must not agree." Gu Chongyang almost begged: "Uncle, can you Promise me?"

The niece has a good eye for things, and it is impossible to lie to herself about this kind of thing.Shen Yucheng felt that she might have learned the news from Wang Jiulang, because it was a court secret and could not be disclosed in detail.

So, he immediately said: "Don't worry, the Shen family abides by the law and has been a good citizen for generations. It is still an imperial merchant of imperial medicine. The emperor doesn't like King Rong, so he set his fiefdom in Chaozhou, where the miasma is very serious. Our Shen family hides How can I join forces with them before it's too late. I didn't know just now, but now that I know, I will never do business with the Guangdong Thirteen Banks. Even if Shui Xianzhou said that the sky is full of hype, I will not agree."

After listening to Shen Yucheng's assurance, Gu Chongyang relaxed his fearful and tense mood: "That's good, uncle, talk to Shui Xianzhou carefully, and don't offend him."

Shen Yucheng smiled slightly, and patted Gu Chongyang's head: "Don't worry, uncle will save you."

Gu Chongyang's pale face gradually turned red, and Shen Yucheng felt relieved: "Leave these matters to uncle. You and Su Ying go to your cousin Qian's yard to play with your little nephew."

Gu Chongyang was relieved and happily went to see the little baby.

Shen Yucheng thought about it for a while, then went to the study, and apologized as soon as they met: "President Shui, I kept you waiting, forgive me, forgive me."

Shui Xianzhou also laughed: "Brother Shen, why bother to be so ignorant, I am a few years older than you, you and I have known each other for many years, so we should call each other brothers."

Shuijia is the second largest merchant in Guangdong Shisanhang. Shui Xianzhou is the vice president of the chamber of commerce. He usually has a higher eye than the top, so he puts people in his eyes.Today he was so polite, Shen Yucheng became more careful and more sure that what Gu Chongyang said was true.Of course, the determination to stay away from Shui Xianzhou became firmer.

It is estimated that Shui Xianzhou never dreamed that Shen Yucheng would feel jealous because of his close attitude.

Shui Xianzhou was indeed here to discuss business with Shen Yucheng, and it was a big deal that fell from the sky.It turned out that there were thirteen merchants joining forces in Thirteen Banks, but now five merchants have withdrawn from Thirteen Banks due to various reasons. The next few companies will join forces to make overseas trade.

The Guangdong Thirteen Banks are firmly in a group, and the suppressed other small merchants doing business are out of breath. They are many and powerful, and they earn countless money from the sea every year. helpless.

Shui Xianzhou invited Shen's family to join the association as the vice president of the Thirteenth Group, which was something that would never have been dreamed of in the past, and Shen Yucheng would not refuse due to emotion and reason.

When Shui Xianzhou came, he decided that Shen Yucheng would not refuse such a good deed: "Originally there were thirteen merchants, but now five merchants have withdrawn. I have already invited three famous and experienced merchants to join, namely Qianjia in Shanxi and Qianjia in Sichuan. The Yao family and the Zhejiang Mei family, the remaining two are Brother Shen’s family and the Huizhou Xu family.”

"I specially brought the paperwork for joining the association. Brother Shen, as long as he signs it, he will become a family of our thirteenth line. Let's earn money together and eat meat together! Hahahaha!"

After Shui Xianzhou finished speaking, he took out the membership documents, and only waited for Shen Yucheng to sign, then he completed the task and continued northward to contact the Xu family in Huizhou.

"The thirteenth line of wealth is very powerful, and the profits are quite rich. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is rich and honorable. It is really a great honor for the Shen family to be invited by President Shui..."

Shui Xianzhou smiled complacently, waiting for Shen Yucheng to agree.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yucheng changed the subject and said: "It's just that the matter is too big at this time, and I can't make up my mind for a while. It's better for President Shui to rest here tonight. Let me think about it overnight and reply tomorrow."

Shui Xianzhou's smile froze involuntarily.

The few companies he named just now are wealthy businessmen who are well-known in the Qi Dynasty.Although the Shen family is rich, it is nothing compared to these few families.Pulling Shen's family to join the association was a last resort, but Shen Yucheng did not expect Shen Yucheng to be so ignorant of flattery.

He talked about Brother Shen, but Shen Yucheng still called him Guild Leader Shui, which was clearly a deliberate alienation.If it wasn't for King Rong's great cause, how could he condescend and condescend to Shen Yu to become a false and submissive snake? With the financial resources of the Shen family, he is not worthy to carry his shoes.

But up to now, he can't just walk away, after all, the three big boats of the Shen family have long been considered by King Rong.

The qualification of the Shen family boat company was given by the late emperor, and now the imperial court has more control over the boats, ordinary people can no longer build such a big boat privately.Before the success of King Rong's great cause, he must keep a low profile and be cautious. The three ships of the Shen family are extremely important.

Shui Xianzhou thought for a while and said, "In that case, I'll spend the night at Brother Shen's house. Tomorrow, I'll wait for good news from Brother Shen. But Brother Shen, as an older brother, I would like to advise you, it's so good. Opportunities don’t come often. If you miss it, you will regret it. As soon as the news spread that Thirteen Bank invited merchants to join the membership, there were countless people who wanted to join the membership. It is said that the Shen family does not have the qualifications. Brother, I am For the sake of our acquaintance, I specially invited Brother Shen to join the club. Brother Shen is a cautious person, which is a good thing, but it is not advisable to stand still, and take action when it is time to act. A person who understands current affairs is a hero!"

"The president loves me so much, Shen is very frightened." Shen Yucheng performed Tai Chi for him: "I used to go to Guangdong, and I was honored by Thirteen Banks to treat me. Today it's my turn to be the host. The president must be very polite. If you don't get drunk, you won't return. "

Shui Xianzhou was unhappy, but he could only endure it if he stretched out his hand and refused to slap the smiling face, and wanted to wait until tomorrow to make plans.

Early the next morning, Shui Xianzhou hurried to find Shen Yucheng after having breakfast in the guest room.

Shen Yucheng laughed and said: "President Shui, a spring night is worth a thousand dollars, why did you wake up so early?"

Shui Xianzhou thought of the two little girls that Shen Yucheng had arranged for last night, and his old face couldn't help but heat up: "It's hard to bear the grace of a beauty, brother Shen, don't make fun of me."

"After thinking about it all night, I wonder if Brother Shen has thought about it?"

"President Shui came to invite me personally. Yucheng is very grateful for such importance. It is a great honor for the Shen family to join the Thirteen Lines. However, after discussing with the family for a long time last night, no one agreed." Shen Yucheng seemed regretful: "I can only live up to the president's wrong love."

Shui Xianzhou felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and secretly cursed for shame.

According to the past, he would have flung his face and left long ago, how could he stay and work with Shen Yucheng?

But after the beginning of the acquaintance just now, and Shen Yucheng's humble and apologetic look, he couldn't turn his face immediately anyway: "Brother Shen, it's too disappointing that you didn't seize such a good opportunity."

You can't turn your face around, but his tone of speech is not as polite as it was at the beginning.

Shen Yucheng didn't seem to see Shui Xianzhou's face. He cupped his hands and apologized: "President Shui said, why don't I want to join the thirteen lines? It's just that I'm getting older and my health can't take it anymore. My family doesn't allow me." Too much work, so I can only give up this great opportunity."

"Brother Shen is the year of no doubt, it is the prime of life and the time of big plans, brother, I am a few years older than you and still work hard. Brother Shen is rushing to retreat at this time, it is really not wise." Shui Xianzhou thought about King Rong's Ordered, and continued to persuade: "Since brother Shen is the head of the family, how can he be stumbling by the inner house, and wouldn't it make people laugh if he said it?"

"President Shui laughed at me. I also want to make my family business bigger, but I'm really exhausted. I can barely maintain it." Shen Yucheng said, "To tell you the truth, Brother Shui, I'm planning to change hands of the Fujian ship company. Let’s get involved in overseas trade again.”

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and went to drink tea.

Shui Xianzhou's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, the purpose of his coming this time was the three big ships of Shen's boat company, but he didn't expect Shen Yucheng to be ignorant and unwilling to join the club.If he could buy the Shen family boat house and make it his private property, wouldn't it be more important for King Rong to rely on him?

"Brother Shen, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true, why should I lie to Brother Shen." Shen Yucheng sighed and said, "It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to find someone else for a while, so I haven't let go."

"Brother Shen, if you sincerely want to sell, there is a destined person in front of you." Shui Xianzhou said sincerely: "I am willing to buy the Shen's boat company, the price is negotiable."

Shen Yucheng was overjoyed: "I didn't expect Brother Shui to want to buy it. It really solved my concern. You and I are not outsiders, and the price is negotiable, but there is one, and you have to pay in cash."

Shui Xianzhou thought for a while, and said, "That's natural. I'll write a letter right now, and ask my family to send money over, and the price will be set by Brother Shen. As soon as the money arrives, we'll do the business documents right away."

Seeing the way Shui Xianzhou's eyes were shining, Shen Yucheng knew that his guess was right, they really had their eyes on the three boats of the Shen family.Although the boat is rare, if it brings misfortune to the family, the loss outweighs the gain.In his heart, gold and silver are not as important as the safety of a family.

Shui Xianzhou was very happy in his heart, seeing Shen Yucheng more and more pleasing to the eye, he secretly planned in his heart that when Shen's boat was acquired, he, the vice president, would be promoted to president.

For the next half month, Shen Yucheng and Wang Jiulang were very busy. Shen Yucheng was busy selling boats and making clothes for the grand ceremony.And after Wang Jiulang took over the driving of the two princes, he non-stop made arrangements for the grand ceremony.

Gu Chongyang always wanted to find an opportunity to ask Wang Jiulang why he wanted to help the Shen family, but he couldn't find an opportunity, so he could only put the matter down and study with Mrs. Baozhen every day, or listen to Shen Rang about the progress of the grand ceremony.

After Shen Yucheng and Shui Xianzhou completed the transaction documents, the Shen family also handed over the clothes and sacrifices to Wang Jiulang. After three days of fasting, the two princes were the main sacrifices. It will be held on August [-]th.

During the great sacrifice, the woman avoided, Gu Chongyang didn't have a chance to see it, and could only listen to Shen Rang's description of how magnificent and exciting the scene was.

On the next day, August [-]th, the two princes returned to Beijing, and Wang Jiulang and all the officials from the south of the Yangtze River went to see them off.After being busy for another seven or eight days, Wang Jiulang was really free.

"I heard that you have come to see me every day these days, what can you tell me?"

I haven't seen him for more than half a month. Wang Jiulang has lost some weight, but his eyes are clear, his voice is clear, and his expression is relaxed.

It can be seen that he has also relieved the burden from his shoulders for the perfect conclusion of the grand ceremony of the public temple.

"Jiulang, the new prefect of Nanjing took office yesterday. He specially posted a post asking his cousin to attend a banquet at his house; Mrs. Fu Guogong knew that my cousin's sister-in-law had given birth, so she made up for the three rites of baptism; I am not married. Su Ying’s cousin suddenly became a hot commodity, and many people came to propose marriage, including many Qingliu and dignitaries.”

"Yeah." Wang Jiulang nodded lightly: "This is similar to what I expected before."

His indifferent expression and natural attitude made Gu Chongyang a little impatient: "Why do you help the Shen family so many times? The world knows that Jiulang is like no other, and everything can't be seen by you. How could you think of helping the Shen family? "

Wang Jiulang didn't speak, Ruifeng stood at the door but clenched his fists, silly girl, of course it's because of you.He tried his best to bear it, and really wanted to raise his head to remind Wang Jiulang that this is the best time to express his heart. Master Jiu, you have done so many things for Miss Gu, if you tell Miss Gu now, she must be very moved.

But Ruifeng thought wrong, as the saying goes that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry to die, Wang Jiulang did not answer Gu Chongyang, he just had a sudden shortness of breath, and then returned to normal after a while.

He didn't say anything, but stood up: "Miss Gu, I'll take you out."

Gu Chongyang refused, she looked at Wang Jiulang, and said stubbornly: "I won't leave, you must tell me, if you don't tell me, I won't leave."

Ruifeng couldn't help but feel ashamed!Miss Gu is still No.1 who dares to speak like this in front of Master Jiu.However, this is also what Master Jiu is used to. In the past, Ms. Gu was very careful in front of Master Jiu, but gradually she became more and more courageous.

I don't know if Lord Jiu will be angry this time?

Standing under the veranda, Ruifeng couldn't help but secretly looked up, and saw Gu Chongyang staring at Wang Jiulang with wide-eyed eyes, looking a little messy, and Wang Jiulang turned his back to Gu Chongyang, with a smile on his mouth and eyes There is a bit of helplessness in the gentleness.

Ruifeng was stunned.He had never seen such a gentle expression on Master Jiu's face, not even the puppy Xue Rong he raised before.

Ever since meeting Miss Gu, Master Jiu has softened a lot, not as cold as before, or maybe Miss Gu can really untie the knot in Master Jiu's heart.

"In that case, you can stay here." Wang Jiulang lifted his foot and walked out.

Seeing his tall and clear figure like the breeze and bright moon, Gu Chongyang stomped his feet and chased after him.

Ruifeng also wanted to follow, but was forced to stop by Wang Jiulang's sharp eye.He couldn't help touching his nose, did he bother Jiu Ye, so he was disgusted by Jiu Ye?
