Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 38

Compared with Mawson's mansion.

This mansion is obviously newer, and the architecture is more rough.

Without the elegant atmosphere of Mosen's mansion, there is a feeling of getting rich everywhere.

After entering the door, there is a road paved with variegated marble, and the gardens on both sides bring extensive vitality in the night.

At the end of the road is a tall, magnificent and resplendent house.

After entering the front hall, there is a courtyard surrounding the corridor and rooms.

And the domed hall facing the courtyard was noisy with people, and servants holding various utensils were constantly coming and going, and the torches and candles inserted on both sides illuminated the interior brightly.

Xie Jue paused involuntarily.

"Thank you." A man with features of Song people and Arabs came out, shouted in Chinese, glanced at Xie Jue, and then said with a smile, "This is Mr. Xie, right?"

"Yes." Xie Guang quickly stepped forward and said, "You are here today too."

As he said that, he turned to Xie Jue and said, "This is Lord Gree. His father is from Song Dynasty, and he inherited the title of my grandfather."

Xie Jue understood.

Li Xiang once said that after the merchants of the Song Dynasty arrived in Baghdad, some of them married wives or had romantic encounters there.

This person is probably the result of that love affair.

With a smile, Gree sized up Xie Jue without showing any trace, and thought to himself, it's no wonder that Abu took such a big risk to get his idea.

How dare you do such a thing without telling Sagema.

However, this is also good, with Abu standing in front of him, he can just keep Segma from angering him, and at the same time, he can keep all the golden water in his pocket.

"Let's go, Abu asked me to come, and he wanted me to taste the golden water from Song Guolai, but I was in a hurry." Gree turned around with a smile, and led them forward.

Xie Jue suppressed the uneasiness that arose at that moment, but pulled Su Yue tighter, and then gave Xie Qi a vigilant look.

During this period of time, at first he still thought about the concern that Li wanted to talk about, but later he met Mo Sen and those Baghdad nobles, and talked with scholars in the library.

That incident was forgotten by him, and he had long forgotten about it.

After meeting the Caliph again, the king of a country treated him politely, and he had a better impression of the Baghdad nobles.

(Except for all kinds of things at the banquet, of course he will never touch them)

But now, he suddenly remembered what Li Xiang said.

I felt a little regretful in my heart.

We should wait for Li Xiang to come back and come together again.

Or, just find out the ointment that was thrown somewhere and apply it on.

It looked lively outside, but when I went inside, I found that there were no other guests except a middle-aged man with a big beard and a round waist sitting on the main seat.

Xie Jue's uneasiness emerged again.

But thinking about going to Mo Sen's place, Mo Sen was alone at the beginning, and he relaxed a little.

However, compared to Mo Sen, the one in front of him is really a bit hideous.

Mo Sen is also fat, but his temperament is full of nobility, and his manner is very elegant. The one in front of him saw them coming in, his eyes narrowed immediately, and the meat oil in his hand dripped on his clothes .

"This is Lord Abu." Xie Guang pushed Xie Jue, led the way to the bottom of Abu, knelt down on the ground, half kowtowed and said, "Little one, I have seen Lord Abu."

The sense of disobedience in Xie Jue's heart became even stronger.

If he hadn't followed Li Xiang to meet Mo Sen and the Caliph, he might not think that Xie Guang's behavior was wrong.

In the Song Dynasty, merchants would give big gifts when they saw seventh-rank officials.

But now that he has seen it, even in front of the caliph, Li Xiang took him just to bow and salute.

Thinking of this, he didn't follow Xie Guang to kneel down.

Xie Guang's face turned slightly pale, and he glanced sideways at him.

But Abu smiled and said, "Is this new here? You don't need to be polite, just sit down."

He was fat, his eyes were squeezed into slits, and he was sitting in the shadow of the light again, with a big beard full of oil stains.

Even with a smile, there was a greasy look in his eyes.

Xie Jue felt displeased, clasped his fists slightly, and led Su Yue to the cushion next to him.

Xie Guang glared at him, saluted Abu again, got up quickly, and sat beside Xie Jue.

"Young Master Xie." Xie Guang said displeased after sitting down, "You are here to beg for help, how can this attitude be acceptable?"

Xie Jue glanced at him lightly, and said lightly: "Didn't Master Abu also say that it's okay?"

Xie Guang choked.

Turning his head to one side, he raised the corner of his lower lip viciously.

Xindao, you ignorant boy, do you think people are easy to talk to?I'll let you know how awesome it is.

At the beginning, he headed for Basra with full sail, but when he arrived in Basra, some people on board still died.

He thought the ship was bad luck, and he didn't want to make Zhu Luo's mistake again, so after contacting the fleet, he asked his men to transport the goods and drove to Baghdad by himself.

Baghdad is a free trade city. In the big market, there are areas specially divided by various countries, and the area of ​​Song Dynasty is the largest.

After the goods from the Song Dynasty arrive, they will be placed here, and then traded with the merchants in Baghdad.

But selling in the market is not as good as trading directly with Baghdad giants. The goods are sold quickly and the money is returned quickly.

It's just that the giant merchants in Baghdad are all nobles, and ordinary people can't see them, and the goods of ordinary quantity and quality can't be seen by them.

Xie Guang does not have this channel.

But Xie Guang knew that Li Xiang was there, so he specially invited Li Xiang to join the fleet this time, hoping to get along with him.

Who knew that he sailed for dozens of nautical miles that day, only to realize that Li Xiang didn't keep up at all, but stayed behind and walked with Xie Jue.

Li Xiang's relationship is out of reach, so he can only find ways around by himself.

Unlike Li Xiang, who lived in Baghdad for two years, he only traveled to Baghdad twice, and he came with Xie Qing.

Giant businessmen don't know it, but officials in the market are still familiar with it.

Knowing from the market officials that the Seri people are now in power, they introduced Ba to one of Abu's entourage, and then got to know Abu.

It's a pity that although Abu is a nobleman and general of the Seri people, he is not a wealthy businessman.

Moreover, the Seri people did not get along with the nobles of Baghdad, and there was no channel to introduce him to the giant merchants in Baghdad.

When he was struggling, he heard about Xie Jue selling tea from the market official.

Moreover, the market official also said that Li Xiang had also arrived.

Unlike the goods he and others brought, what Li Xiang brought were all high-end goods, not only the top-quality silk, but also the high-quality porcelain.

Li Xiang didn't enter the market at all, and the goods were sold directly to those noble merchants.

Although it can't compare to Xie Jue's price, the harvest is also very impressive.

Think about the same, everyone came all the way from the Song Dynasty, the journey was dangerous and frightening, and people died on board.

He can earn 30 million taels if all the goods are sold out, but Li Xiang earns more than 50 taels.

And Xie Jue was 50 taels of gold!

Besides, everyone came together, and Xie Jue went with him. What's the matter, let him take advantage of it, right?

Since you don't want to share the tea, give him the money.

Then make another contribution.

The first time he came into contact with Abu, Xie Guang knew what Abu liked, so he took him to see Xie Jue.

Sure enough, Abu turned around and introduced Gree to him.

Although Gree is not considered a giant businessman, he is still a powerful businessman, and he ate half of his goods.

Then, Abu proposed that he could be introduced to Seri leader Sagema, but the condition was that he had to bring Xie Jue to his mansion.

It's not that he doesn't know what that means.

But so what?

What's more...

There is an unwritten rule in Song State. If a businessman dies overseas, the people in his fleet can share part of his property.

As long as Xie Jue is 'dead', all the tea and gold left by him will be his.
