Chapter 7

1,

Wen Qingyun fell into a coma for a day and a night, and had countless nightmares, the dreams were filled with bloody stumps and the pale faces of the dead.She screamed as if she was about to wake up, raised her hands high, then lowered them down, entering a deeper nightmare.Only now did Shen Xiaoru know what she had experienced in the past two days, and he felt a little uneasy, thinking that she had saved him from disaster.When Mrs. Shen wanted to take Wen Qingyun to the main room to be taken care of by herself, Shen Xiaoru stopped her.

"I will take care of her." After Shen Xiaoru finished speaking, he didn't believe it.So I repeated, "I'll take care of her."

Shen Xiaoru didn't need to do anything, the snow lotus and Dongmei that should be done were finished, he moved a chair and sat by the bed, looking at that still unfamiliar face.He had never looked at her so carefully, and he didn't know why her brows were always furrowed, and she couldn't even stroke them with his fingers.He retracted his fingers, heard her sigh softly, and then began to shake his head, as if refusing something, suddenly sat up, stared blankly at the front, and then wept bitterly while covering his face.

All of this is what he should bear, and she helped him do it.This thought made him feel pity and guilt.

When Wen Qingyun fell asleep again, Shen Xiaoru asked people to go to the best pharmacy in Haizhou City to buy Jingcha tea.

Yang Jing'an never expected that Du Wenjing's arrangements would be so meticulous that Wen Qingyun could escape.He ran to Du's house by sending Young Master Wen out.At this time, Du Wenjing also heard about this, and everyone in Haizhou City yelled, saying that the young lady of the Shen family was blessed with great fortune, and that she was blessed by God and survived a catastrophe.

"It's all bullshit," said the second aunt, who was sitting sideways on the chair, her eyes fluttering, with a look of disdain on her face, "I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup she poured into Zhong Han. If you want to say blessing, I think it is Zhong Han's blessing!"

"Enough!" Du Wenjing said with a cold face, "You have been arranging this matter from the beginning to the end. Now that it has become like this, what else do you have to say?"

The second aunt jumped up as if she had been pricked by a needle, "My surname is Du, you mean that I deliberately let the water go to eat?"

"Isn't it, you know best in your heart."

The second aunt is rough, but she has a careful heart. She is the young lady of the Qing Gang. What kind of powerful characters have you never seen before, and what kind of intrigues have you never experienced?The calculation in Du Wenjing's heart could not escape her eyes.He is suspicious of her.Regarding the letter from the mine last time, he didn't get any real evidence, so he couldn't talk about it.This time, he's probably going to take advantage of the problem and break the egg to pick the bone.It was she who was stupid, took this matter seriously, and made a fuss.

"Du Wenjing, let me tell you the truth. This matter was the idea of ​​you and Yang Jing'an. I had to help you because you asked me to. If something goes wrong, you can't come to me."

Yang Jing'an smiled wryly, "My second aunt, what's the use of talking about this at this time, I'd better think of a way."

"Yes, there is a way. You go back and get two catties of arsenic for her to eat. It will be settled once and for all, and save everyone's trouble!" The second aunt swept her eyes around, and said with a disdainful tone, "It's a pity that you still Man, what’s the big deal if you’re so scared? What can she do to us, say we’re kidnapped, what’s the evidence? She’s alive and well if she says we’re paying for murder?” After speaking, she stood up and went out the door. Walk.

Du Wenjing frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Where do I need to ask for your advice? When did the Du family have this family rule, why didn't I know?" The second aunt was merciless in front of outsiders, she finished speaking carelessly, looked up at Du Wenjing, Seeing that he couldn't say anything, he sneered and went out.

When there were only two people left in the room, Du Wenjing said in a deep voice, "Someone has to take care of this matter."

Yang Jing'an understood that the person he was referring to was the second aunt, and she was asked to come forward in the first place to prepare for today's situation.But thinking that Du Wenjing and Second Aunt have been married for so many years, they can be betrayed at will, and I still feel a little scared.The question is, is Second Aunt too willing?Does the Green Gang agree?If it doesn't work, and the second aunt is too angry, the two of them are the unlucky ones. To be precise, according to Du Wenjing's personality, he will be the only unlucky one at that time.

"You don't have to worry about this. Since I plan to do this, I have my reasons. But Brother Jing'an, the trouble you caused me is not small." Du Wenjing had an ambiguous smile on his face.

Yang Jing'an nodded, "Brother Wen Jing, I won't forget it. When Mr. Shen's farming company opens, are you afraid that I won't have the chance to repay you?"

Shen Xiaoru is very considerate to Wen Qingyun these days, and even Xuelian has followed suit. The heavy work in the west courtyard has been transferred to a few old mothers, and Xuelian has become the manager, just directing the servants.Order the kitchen to prepare the meals and send them to the room, and the duo is not allowed to be repeated, and the young couple hides in the room to eat.Wen Qingyun has become a real eldest young mistress, she stretches out her hands for clothes and opens her mouth for food.In the evening, Shen Xiaoru spread the bedding himself, lit the red candle, and waited for Wen Qingyun with a blushing heart.

The wedding night in the bridal chamber was long overdue, but it finally came.After this night, it seemed that everything would be different.

Shen Xiaoru's hospitality fell into Dongmei's eyes and became a thorn in her heart.During the day and night when Wen Qingyun was kidnapped, Dongmei stayed by Shen Xiaoru's side, the two chatted and laughed about their childhood, she was sure that given time, she would be able to subdue Shen Xiaoru's heart.Who knew that when Wen Qingyun came back, everything changed.Dongmei returned to the main room, although she was able to send a message to the west courtyard to say hello through his wife from time to time, but Shen Xiaoru never looked at her again.

Dongmei was discouraged, she was a maidservant, and she couldn't change it.Wishful thinking that the one who hurts in the end is not yourself?But Yang Jing'an didn't allow her to think so.If you admit defeat before you make a move, what can you become?Who is born rich and honored, even Master Shen has achieved his status today through hard work. If he wants to be famous in front of others, he must suffer in the future.

Dongmei seized the last ray of hope and asked, "Uncle, what should I do?"

"This kind of thing can't be rushed. Only by simmering slowly can the taste come out." Yang Jing'an drank ginseng tea and said slowly, "Women chase men, double-layer gauze, as long as you seize the opportunity, it's not difficult to be an aunt."

"They stick together every day, how can I have a chance?"

"Silly girl, this is temporary. You don't know, young master. You are most afraid of boredom and like novelty. How long can you read ancient books? What are you afraid of?"

After Dongmei took the reassurance, she burst into tears of gratitude, "Uncle, if I really become an aunt, I will never forget your great kindness."

This is what Yang Jing'an wanted. He thought he could use Du Wenjing's hand to eradicate Wen Qingyun. Who knew that Du Wenjing was vicious and out of luck, but it didn't matter. He still had Dongmei's move. This girl has no chance for ambition. Heart, just give him control.When the young master puts Wen Qingyun in the cold palace, she will have nowhere to display her great abilities.As for him, he can firmly hold the young master and the Shen family's property in his palm.

No one should try to block his way, the power he has worked so hard to build up in the Shen family for so many years will never be handed over to others.

A few days later, Shen Yunpei came back from Shanghai. This time he gained a lot. Not only did he set up a general ledger for the Haigan Animal Husbandry Company, but he also restored the relationship with the Tonghai Animal Husbandry Company through Xu Dinglin who had made friends with Zhang Jian. For business operation, Haigan Company can rely on the experience and channels of Tonghai, and Tonghai Company can transport goods through Maoyong's own fleet.In addition, Xu Dinglin tried his best to match up, and the two companies jointly developed the tidal flats within the scope of Haigan Company. To show his sincerity, Zhang Jian sent his right-hand assistant Zhang Mozhi to station in Haizhou. Firstly, it would facilitate the communication and cooperation between the two companies, and secondly, he could guide the fledgling Haigan Company. The company is on track.Shen Yunpei wanted to find a trustworthy Shen family who had brains and foresight to sit in and supervise him, so that he could rest assured when he returned to Beijing after his term expired.

Seeing that her husband was in high spirits, Mrs. Shen couldn't say what she had planned.Shen Yunpei saw that his wife was a little different, so he asked, "Did something happen at home?"

Mrs. Shen said it as lightly as possible, but turned Shen Yunpei's excitement into anger. This is not only a rampant bandit, but also a blatant provocation to the court's laws and regulations.He ordered his family to invite Chen Zongyong to pass the mansion, and Mrs. Shen persuaded, "Forget it, he has returned safely. Master Chen has also tried his best, what do you want from him? We are unlucky this time, and we will lose money." disaster relief."

Shen Yunpei made a serious face: "The banditry is not eliminated, and the common people cannot live and work in peace and contentment. What do you want parents and officials to do?"

"Father, I have something to say." Wen Qingyun pushed open the door. She had been standing outside the door for a long time, waiting for this opportunity.She recounted what she heard on the mountain, how Zhong Han was entrusted by the Qing Gang to kidnap him.

"According to what you said, this is not an ordinary kidnapping by bandits, but someone behind the scenes." Such a shrewd person, Shen Yunpei, suddenly thought of Second Aunt and Du Wenjing.The second aunt's father is the old gang leader of the Qing Gang, and everyone in Haizhou City knows that Wen Qingyun was Tai Sui who broke ground before. He thought that relying on the Shen family's status in Haizhou and his influence in the officialdom would make them feel better. scruples.Unexpectedly, he still overestimated himself.But he still wanted to make sure, so he asked, "What evidence do you have?"

Wen Qingyun knelt down, raised her head and her face was full of tears, "I heard all this with my own ears. Father, I escaped from death this time, relying on my mother's efforts to save me, and also relying on God's blessing, Zhong Han did not make things difficult for me. I, he was entrusted by others, please don't pursue it any further. It was Du Wenjing who hated his daughter-in-law to take the mine back from him, so he was so determined to take her life!"

After Shen Yunpei listened to it, he pondered for a while before slowly opening his mouth, "Who else knows about this?"

"The daughter-in-law knows the depth, and she didn't tell anyone."

"It's right. Don't worry, I'll take care of it myself." Shen Yunpei turned to look at his wife, "Du Wenjing doesn't take me seriously, and I don't need to show him any favors!"

Wen Qingyun continued to kneel, and she still said, "Father, I suspect that there is Du Wenjing's insider at home."

"What?" Shen Yunpei was surprised again.

"Xiaoru is not feeling well, and his daughter-in-law went to Qingkou, but someone reported it. How could Du Wenjing and the bandits know?"

"Do you know who this person is?"

"I just suspect that there is someone..." Wen Qingyun looked at Shen Yunpei, the three words were already on her lips, and when she was about to say it, someone outside the door said, "Master, Madam, Mrs. Chen is here to visit."

It was Yang Jing'an.As if he had made up his mind, he intentionally held Wen Qingyun's words in his stomach.

Shen Yunpei left, but Mrs. Shen wanted to find out, "Who do you suspect? There are more than 100 people in the Shen family, and they eat salty mouths. If there is no evidence, it is best not to talk nonsense."

Wen Qingyun bit her lip, she knew that Yang Jing'an was Mrs. Shen's confidant, she spoke rashly without evidence, and if she offended Mrs. Shen, she might be bitten back. Shen Yunpei told her to say it later, because she was worried that she would anger Mrs. Shen. After so many years She is the head of the family, and if someone in the family eats inside and out, it means that she has no way to manage the family.So he shook his head, "Mom, I actually guessed too, I just think..."

"Random guessing will kill people." Mrs. Shen snorted coldly, "I know you feel wronged, but you have saved Xiaoru from disaster, and the Shen family will repay you for this favor."

Wen Qingyun naturally wanted to say no, she bowed her head and exited the main room. When she walked to the corridor, she saw Yang Jing'an looking at her thoughtfully.Wen Qingyun stopped, looked back, and replied with a clear expression, that sooner or later, she would find evidence that he was the one who betrayed Shen's family and her!

Chen Zongyong experienced Shen Yunpei's wrath at Shen's house, and immediately sent someone to bring Du Wenjing to court.It's a pity that they were a little too late. When the soldiers arrived, they heard loud crying inside.Du Wenjing stood at the door leaning on crutches, weeping and calling the second aunt's name.

"Wanru, you are so confused, why did you leave me alone, how can you let me live!"

The soldiers were dumbfounded, you looked at me and I looked at you, but no one stepped forward.The leader came over with some courage, and cupped his hands, "Master Du, I'm sorry, Mr. Chen invites you to speak at the government office."

Du Wenjing seemed to be overly sad and didn't know how to refuse, so he followed the yamen servant.When I arrived at the government office, I bowed my head when I saw Chen Zongyong and worshiped him.

"Master Chen, villains deserve death!"

He confessed so happily that Chen Zongyong was caught off guard. He even had an inappropriate smile on his face, and quickly helped him up, "Master Du, tell me, what is going on here?"

Du Wenjing knelt down, with half of his body weight on Chen Zongyong's hands, and said tearfully, "My family is unlucky, it was my second aunt who colluded with the gangsters and kidnapped the young lady of the Shen family to do such a thing. Absurd behavior, she was afraid that adults would find out, she committed suicide just now, my family is unfortunate, I deserve death." After speaking, he took out a suicide note from his arms and handed it to Chen Zongyong.

It was clearly written in the suicide note that the second aunt was threatened by Wen Qingyun the day before yesterday to steal the letter from the mine. I was sorry for the Du family, so she held a grudge and hired murderers to kidnap. The ransom, and the refusal to let him go, almost led to a big mistake.Later, fearing that the matter would be revealed, he committed suicide in fear of crime.The last four words were messy and scribbled. It seemed that I was about to collapse when I wrote it.

Chen Zongyong was a little dubious, there were too many coincidences in this incident, and there were many doubts, I am afraid it is not that simple.He was holding the envelope in his hand, it was bulging inside, and there seemed to be something there, he took it out and saw that it was a stack of bank notes, and put it back silently.He thought about it for a while and said, "It's really stupid. Fortunately, I didn't make a big mistake. I won't pursue it. But the Shen family..."

"In the future, the villain will definitely come to the door to apologize."

Regarding such a result, Shen Yunpei was also skeptical, but Chen Zongyong kept saying that killing people is nothing but nods, the eldest young mistress has returned safely, and the second concubine is also dead, so everything can be erased.He leaned into Shen Yunpei's ear and whispered, don't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face, there is still the face of the old leader Liu of the Qing Gang.The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, and the Qing Gang has a strong foundation. If it is really torn apart, I am afraid it will not benefit anyone.Now that the matter has come to this point, Shen Yunpei also wanted to calm things down, so he sent someone to seal Dianyi to Du's house, hoping to bring the grievances between the two families to an end before he left for Beijing.

Three days later, someone found a dead body in the wasteland outside Haizhou City. It was a beautiful man. Someone in the crowd had a good memory and recognized him as a martial artist from the troupe half a year ago. As for why he didn't leave, why did he die in the Here, no one cares.Two people, one died unexpectedly, the other was a lonely ghost with no relatives, the other couldn't enter the Yang family's ancestral grave, and the other didn't even know where the ancestral grave was, so they merged into the newly built ancestral hall.Wen Qingyun secretly went to pay homage, and ordered the spectators to bury them in the adjacent tomb, remembering to burn incense and paper during festivals.

No one would have thought that this corpse had anything to do with the second aunt of the Yang family who died three days ago.Except Wen Qingyun.

Wen Qingyun has always suspected that the second aunt did not commit suicide.How could a woman as bold and courageous as her commit suicide?Wusheng is also dead, and if they want to know the truth, they have to find Peiyun, the maid who served by their side.It's a pity that Peiyun disappeared, and even Lu Tou didn't know where she went. I was afraid that she would be silenced, so I hid early in the morning.

This is the back road that Du Wenjing paved for himself. When Du Man found out the affair between the second concubine and Wu Sheng, he was already ready to kill.When he found out that Wu Sheng and his second concubine's private house belonged to the Wen family, he fully understood why the letter was in Wen Qingyun's hands.But the time has not come, or the second aunt still has some value, so it is not revealed.When Wen Qingyun came back, Du Wenjing saw that the matter was about to be revealed, and he had to find a surrogate.He accused the second aunt of being too adulterous, and declared that he would go to Chief Liu for an evaluation. The second aunt was not afraid of anything, but her father.My father has a hot temper and hates women who don't obey women's morals the most. In a hurry, he had no choice but to agree to write a confession.Du Wenjing read every word, and the second aunt wrote every word. After writing the next few words, she realized Du Wenjing's cruelty. The second aunt was overwhelmed by the majesty and was speechless.The second aunt said she was thirsty, so he handed her a cup of tea.Drugged tea.When the second aunt was too dizzy, it was too late.

With the help of Du Man, Du Wenjing faked the illusion that the second concubine committed suicide, imitated the second concubine's handwriting to write a suicide note, and then asked Du Man to find someone to kill Wu Sheng to avenge the loss of his wife.

Du Wenjing thought that everything was done without anyone noticing, but he didn't know that Peiyun was in the small courtyard at the time, because of stomach discomfort, he escaped the catastrophe.After Du Man left, Pei Yun came out of his hiding place, fearing that Du Wenjing would kill someone, so he escaped from Haizhou City overnight, and has been living in a foreign land ever since.It's also because God has eyes and left a gap, so that the second aunt can get revenge after a few years.

The days seem to be back on track, with daily necessities, rice, oil, salt and three meals a day, and the noise is backed by the calm of the years that have slipped by like water.After experiencing a series of disasters, the Shen family all heaved a sigh of relief. No one saw the undercurrent surging beneath the calm, even Shen Yunpei, who had always been resourceful and resourceful, was no exception.

Shen Yunpei is still looking for a suitable head of the family, and the day of returning to Beijing is getting closer and closer. Who should take over the Shen family needs to come up with an idea immediately.He had considered Yang Jing'an. Yang Jing'an was an old man of the Shen family and his wife's distant cousin.But Shen Yunpei always felt that he had a small stomach and his mind was too secretive to be understood.If such a person is used well, he can be a good shopkeeper, and it is not easy to suffer losses through careful planning, but it is not suitable for expanding the territory.He also thought about Wei Yucen, this time he fought with Yang Wenjing to go back to the mine, and by the way conquered Wei Yucen, it was a surprise.The Yin family has been in business for generations. From the perspective of experience and coping, Wei Yucen is not inferior to him, but he lacks a little bit of luck, which made the Yin family's current predicament.If you let him come to watch Haigan Kenmu Company, you should be at ease.But after thinking about it, I felt ridiculous, no matter how good Wei Yucen was, he was a foreigner, usable but not credible.The three sons are his own flesh and blood, but unfortunately none of them can be used.Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh, worried about his own worthlessness, and worried about the days to come.

He thought of Wen Qingyun, and the first thing he thought of was her, he pressed it back, and took it out when he had nothing to think about.There is no doubt that if she is a man, if she is Shen Xiaoru, he will hand over the Shen family to her without hesitation.It's a pity that she is not. Although Wen Qingyun is the most qualified among these candidates, from what she has done and experienced, it can be seen that she has a beginning and an end, and is courageous and resourceful. , put it on a man, it can be said to be decisive, but to a woman, it is fatal.It would be great if Yang Jing'an and her could work together. One is cautious and subtle, while the other is bold and courageous. If they cooperate properly, there will definitely be development.But will they let go of their past?Speaking of which, when Mrs. Shen regretted the marriage and decided to renew her marriage, Yang Jing'an also had her ideas in it.He observed these days, and found that the two kept a distance, paying attention to each other and being wary of each other, as if there were some secrets that he didn't know about.It is difficult to get along, so how can we talk about cooperation?

Shen Yunpei went back to the bedroom with a sad face. Mrs. Shen didn't take it seriously when she saw her, "Master, I think Xiaoru has grown up too. You asked him to supervise the work before, and he did a good job. Anyway, the family business will be handed over to him in the future." Here, it is better to let him learn while doing it now."

Shen Yunpei was angry and said harshly, "You still have the face to say, who is pretending to be sick, and can't even hide such a big thing as the reopening of the Qingkou Mine? If I want the Shen family to collapse early, I will hand it over to you." give him!"

Mrs. Shen was completely reluctant and dared not say anything.Shen Yunpei wiped his face indiscriminately, lay down on the bed and continued to be depressed.He already had an arrangement in his heart, but it was the only feasible arrangement as a last resort.

Seeing that the departure date was approaching, Shen Yunpei called Yang Jing'an, Shen Xiaoru and Wen Qingyun to the study together.Tell them that after he leaves, Shen Xiaoru will come forward to be the big shopkeeper of Maoyong, and he will go to the cabinet to study on weekdays. When encountering important issues, he should consult experienced people for advice, and must not make up his own mind.The post of prime minister of Kenmu Company was held by Shen Yunpei himself.Yang Jing'an is in charge of the company's affairs. Zhang Mozhi will come to Haizhou in a few days. At that time, invite him to live in Shen's house. Firstly, he can fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and secondly, it is convenient for the two to cooperate. Plant trees.It's not convenient for Wen Qingyun to come forward, but she can participate in the affairs of both parties. When encountering any problems, several people can discuss and solve them together.Shen Yunpei has already worked out the big plans and strategies, as long as they cooperate sincerely, there will be no mistakes.

In Yang Jing'an's eyes, Shen Yunpei's painstaking efforts were not stingy with thunder and thunder, which shocked him for a while.So soon, Wen Qingyun climbed to the position of being able to speak in charge, so soon, he lost his power, so soon, he was about to be abandoned by the Shen family.

Yan Maoyong Native Products Co., Ltd. is Shen Yunpei’s first store when he first entered the shopping mall. The store is next to the Qiangwei River Wharf. At first, it mainly engaged in grain and oil transshipment and distribution. Later, it gradually developed and expanded, and the scope of business also expanded accordingly, including silk tea and local mountain products. etc.In the 33rd year of Guangxu, Maoyong was already the largest native product trading firm in northern Jiangsu and southern Shandong. There were countless customers coming and going every day. The store was crowded with people. The guys trotted among the customers. Some people were busy serving tea and pouring water, contacting the inn for merchants who came from afar, and they were extremely busy.

The second shopkeeper, Qiao Funian, was standing inside the counter, holding a writing brush in one hand, flipping through the ledger casually with the other, staring at the outside of the gate.Last night, Yang Jing'an sent someone to inform him that the young master of the host family was coming for a meeting today, and asked him to get ready.Seeing that the time was coming soon, Qiao Funian asked a few guys to go to the warehouse to take the leather collected from last year to the backyard to dry in the backyard to avoid insects.The man agreed to go over, and the Shen family's carriage also stopped at the door.Qiao Funian hurriedly put on a smiling face, walked out the door in two steps, and greeted his boss.

As soon as Shen Xiaoru entered the shop, he was greeted with a smell of sweat and almost stumbled. He covered his mouth and nose, and frowned into a Sichuan character.Wen Qingyun poked him, and he reluctantly put down his hand, his brows furrowed even more.

Qiao Funian followed step by step, muttering, "This year we have a good start in Maoyong. After the first month, someone from outside the customs came, ordered a thousand catties of tea, put down a [-]% deposit, and agreed to deliver this month, and now we are packing it. There are not enough workers in the warehouse, so a few people came to the store to help, and each person added [-]% of the salary. In mid-February, the Mu family in Yunnan ordered reeds, which were also shipped out of the inland river this month, together with the tung oil from the Jinbao ship in Chengdu, Sichuan. , this item can save hundreds of taels of silver. However, our own boats also need to be replaced and rested, and some of them have to go to Shanghai to hire masters, which may cost dozens of taels. Just like this, I still don’t want to come here. It seems that this money can’t be saved..."

Shen Xiaoru held his breath, only heard a buzzing sound, as for what he said, he didn't take it to heart.Passing through the shop and arriving at the backyard, he just wanted to take a good breath when his mouth was washed away by the stench permeating the air, his eyes darkened, and he almost fell to the ground.Qiao Funian hurriedly reached out to help, and said in a good-tempered manner, "This is the leather goods that Mr. Wang wanted from Qiu County, Shandong Province. We agreed to ship it in three days. I'm afraid that the weather will be infested with insects, so let the guys take it out to dry. Mr. Wang belongs to us Maoyong. The regular customers are good, and the reputation is good. I specially asked the guys to pay more attention. You also know that business is not easy, young master. Now we and Fu Xing Hong have become enemies again. If we don’t take care of the customers, we are afraid of losses.”

Shen Xiaoru's patience was exhausted, and he didn't care about the stinking, "Okay, okay, I'll just listen to you talking, what's the use of telling me these things? You can do what you want, and you don't need to tell me in the future. I'm going to be tired after a long time Dead, Steward Yang, go and see if there is any good tea and pour me a cup."

Yang Jing'an nodded with a smile, while Qiao Funian looked sincere and fearful, but there was a sly smile in his eyes.

Wen Qingyun walked to the middle of the yard. She turned her nose away from all the filthy smells, and became interested in the piles of stinky leather. She grabbed the clerk and asked if it was already processed when it was delivered, or should we do it ourselves? To do it, how much is the cost, how much is the sale, plus the miscellaneous costs of shipping and storage, how much money can Maoyong make.Seeing that the eldest young lady is so approachable, the man wished to pour out all the contents in his stomach and answer them one by one. For the first time, he regretted that he didn't learn from the master well, and now he couldn't say more.

Shen Xiaoru couldn't stay for a moment, it's not that he didn't want to take over the family business, if he had to do it, he would like to go to Shanghai, the general accountant of Haigan Company, to sit in the township, and by the way, he can play and enjoy the Shanghai style scenery, he has long heard that there are feasting, Is a good place to ecstasy.He also vaguely mentioned it to Shen Yunpei, but Shen Yunpei flatly refused, the reason is that the things in Haizhou have not been done well, and he wants to reach the sky in one step!But now he feels like he's been driven to hell.Those unpleasant smells, noisy sound waves, the crowding and chaos of people coming and going constituted the most filthy scene he had ever seen in his life.It made him disgusted with the wealth behind this picture.This kind of disgust and deep-seated rejection followed him all his life, making him a prodigal who only wanted to spend money but didn't want to make money.Even after being severely reprimanded by Shen Yunpei several times later, Mrs. Shen pleaded with tears, but it didn't decrease in the slightest.Seeing Wen Qingyun's full of interest, he said angrily, "Have you had enough fun, can you go?"

6,

As soon as she left the door, Wen Qingyun saw a familiar figure in the crowd, she stopped in surprise, her heart raised to her throat.Why did Zhong Han come to this place?Did he come to find her?Wen Qingyun thought of Xiugu's cold eyes and what she had said, and shivered.Fortunately, Shen Xiaoru was attracted by the newly opened Tianxiang Pavilion across the street, and dragged Yang Jingan to try it out.Yang Jing'an looked distressed, Mrs. Shen had explained that Xiaoru was not allowed to eat indiscriminately outside, since he had a cold stomach since he was a child, he was afraid of eating something wrong.Shen Xiaoru lost his temper to the young master, "I'm not a three-year-old child, so I can't even do this?" Speaking of this, Yang Jing'an had no choice but to obey.Wen Qingyun whispered from behind, "Don't go, I'm not feeling well, let's go home." She saw Zhong Han just entered, and she really didn't want to meet him.

Shen Xiaoru is now the one and only young master, striding towards Tianxiang Pavilion without even turning his head.

The young master and the young mistress of the Shen family came to visit, and the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Pavilion came out to say hello in person. I couldn’t help but apologize. I didn’t know that the two of you were so elegant. The private rooms on the second floor were all full, and only the place by the window was clean. Please, young master. Just about.Shen Xiaoru was not picky at the moment, he walked up to the second floor.Wen Qingyun groaned secretly in her heart, it was such a coincidence that they were only a few tables away from Zhong Han.

From the moment they entered the door, everyone could clearly see Wen Qingyun fidgeting like a light on her back.Also because of the different minds of individuals, the meanings they figure out are also different.Shen Xiaoru thought that she was really sick, so she kept twisting her body carefully, trying to find a more comfortable position.He felt a little guilty, so he ordered two small dishes at random, hoping to finish eating and go home quickly.Yang Jing'an felt that Wen Qingyun's actions at this time must be related to what happened in Maoyong just now.Qiao Funian is his man, today's scene is for Shen Xiaoru to retreat despite difficulties.Presumably Wen Qingyun has already seen some flaws, so she has to go back and complain to her wife.And Zhong Han who was on the side had already seen Wen Qingyun and his party. The last time she had a hasty farewell in the cave, she did not break her promise and took away the officers and soldiers. She also bought him time and was able to arrange things calmly, killing Rongxiang by surprise.After this battle, his reputation became more and more famous, and many reckless heroes who were not really convinced before completely obeyed.It's her fault here.But she didn't know, she was so nervous that she couldn't hold the chopsticks steadily, thinking that he came to seek revenge on her and kill her?He smiled faintly, the Hall Master Hou of the Chrysanthemum Hall, one of the four halls of plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemums of the Qing Gang, who was sitting opposite him, didn't know why. Wen Qingyun, who had never lived a day, stopped for a day.

Master Hou thought for Zhong Han's sake, "How did you meet them? Master, do you want to change places?"

"No, she won't report to the authorities." Zhong Han said it calmly, as if it was a very normal thing, and they were also the most ordinary old friends or acquaintances. "Otherwise, I'm afraid I will die sitting here today."

Hall Master Hou glanced back again, seeing Wen Qingyun lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, showing that something was on his mind, he really couldn't understand the twists and turns inside, so he simply picked up a piece of fish, put it on a plate, and said softly: "It's because of her, The daughter of our old gang leader is dead, and there is also the matter of the former third lady. The old gang leader said that this matter cannot be counted, just wait and see, there will be a lot of excitement."

Zhong Han put away his smile, restored his hard lines, stared at the white belly of the fish on the plate, and said nonchalantly, "The fish in the river is still delicious and tender. Master Hou, what do you think?"

Hall Master Hou didn't know Zhong Han's intentions, he hesitated and said, "Ah, yes, right."

"Why? Because the fish in the river don't have to worry about food, and there are few enemies." Zhong Han put down his chopsticks, "Master Hou, as far as I know, these young gangs have made a lot of money by escorting goods for Mao Yong. Mao Maoyong turned his back on him, guarded himself and stole himself, not to mention whether the government will agree or not, but the loss of money, the Green Gang may not be able to bear it, right?"

The Green Gang is a poor gang, similar in nature to the Cao Gang along the canal. They help the imperial court or merchants escort goods to make a living.Although Haizhou City is a wealthy place, there are no more than four or five merchants that have their own cargo ships and deliver them continuously throughout the year, and the Shen family can account for half of them.The Green Gang's troubles with the Shen family are actually seeking their own death.

Hall Master Hou said: "Da Zhong is still the wise leader. Who in the gang can think of these things? Some people tried to persuade them, but they were scolded back by the old gang master, who said that we used to eat and drink all these years. I'm lazy and have no guts. In fact, my relatives are my relatives and my wealth. If I can't get along with the Shen family, I can think of other ideas. Why are you falling out with Yinzi? Tell me, what is the purpose of everyone coming out to beg for life? Don't you want to Earn more money? Now some brothers say that Du Wenjing was the most responsible for the mysterious death of the rich hall master. The old gang leader didn’t investigate carefully. His own daughter committed suicide, so he wanted everyone to be unlucky. Yes, my heart is broken."

It seemed that the Green Gang was going to be in trouble, Zhong Han expressed a bit of regret, "Master Hou, you are a smart person, you'd better make plans early."

"I've made up my mind, there's really nothing to do, I'll pull my brother up the mountain, and follow your brother's example, we can also freely eat meat and drink in big bowls, live a comfortable life for a few days, and save ourselves from being idle in the gang all day long." Hou Tang The master picked up the wine glass and drank it down, then lowered his voice, leaned forward and said, "Brother, I need you to take care of me when the time comes."

Zhong Han laughed loudly, as if there was no one else around, but the people next to him couldn't be regarded as him, and they were also nobody, they all looked sideways, even Shen Xiaoru looked back, turned around and slapped the corner of his mouth to write two words, "rude man".Zhong Han didn't hear it, and he wouldn't mind if he heard it. He came this time to be on an equal footing with the Green Gang. Now that Hall Master Hou said such words, the depression of many years has dissipated. Why don't you have a good time?
Wen Qingyun was also attracted by the laughter, couldn't help but look over, met Zhong Han's gaze, and had nowhere to escape.The aloofness in the depths of his eyes was brightened, and she was stunned for a moment, and her heart moved, feeling safe and relieved that she had never had before.
