The back of Lan Yi's departure paused, without answering, and went straight out of the backyard.
Leaning against the door frame, Shang Jun thoughtfully looked at the direction she was anxiously leaving, and then thought of Bi Xian's distressed whisper that night, he was obviously a sentient being, an intentional one, why bother to make such a field. And Mr. Meng, this dinner is not easy.
Shang Jun slightly raised the corners of his lips and sat down with his eyes closed. Bi Xian, you sent me to such an "interesting" sea unprepared, and I will definitely thank you. must!
Shang Jun drank his fifth cup of tea, the sun finally set in the clouds, and the gradually dyed red sky announced that night was coming. It has been a long time since he spent an afternoon drinking tea quietly like this. It's been a year. It turned out that it had been a year, and it had been a year since he became a businessman. Shang Jun laughed at himself. He was used to being busy, running around, and not letting himself stop. He was not used to savoring the fragrance of tea and feeling the leisure time on such a sunny afternoon.
Putting down the teacup, Shang Jun stretched his waist. Are men really so neglected in the sea? Mengyiru said that he wanted to entertain him, but he left him in the flower hall for two hours. Perhaps, he should choose a woman to come to the sea in the future, which is more in line with the customs here.
Shang Jun thought about it, and a female voice came from the door, "Let Shang Jun wait for a long time."
When Shang Jun turned back, he saw the plump figure of Mengyi slowly stepping into the flower hall.
Perhaps he also felt that Shang Jun had to wait too long, Meng Yiru smiled pleasantly and said: "It's just a family banquet, Shang Jun don't need to be cautious, sit down quickly."
Shang Jun politely sat down opposite her, Meng Yiru didn't say much, and said to the servant beside her, "Let's serve the food."
Just the two of them? Is this also called a family dinner? Shang Jun reminded with some embarrassment: "Uh, let's wait for your family."
Mengyi waved his hand like a big hand, and pretended to be displeased and said, "If you are entertaining distinguished guests, how can they just come to the table and spoil the fun." Picking up the wine poured by the servant, Mengyi said with a smile: "I'll take the wind for you, let's have a drink first. "After saying that, he happily did it first as a respect.
"Okay." Shang Jun didn't want to dodge it, so he drank a glass. The wine was extremely spicy, and he only felt that his throat was burning, but Meng Yiru's face was calm, as if he drank water. Is it because her alcohol intake is so amazing, or because the women in the sea are so shy.
Shang Jun just put down the wine glass, Meng Yiru immediately helped him fill it up, and also took advantage of the situation to sit beside him. Afraid that she would persuade him to drink again, Shang Jun hurriedly asked: "By the way, Shang Jun didn't know the rules when he first came, and dare to ask the adults how many days can the customs clearance paper be completed?"
Meng Yiru seemed very reluctant to talk about it, and replied: "The inventory of goods will not only point to the goods you have shipped and sold, but also the goods you have shipped after loading, which will be reported to the court and will be inspected by the minister of households. After the review, the commercial supervision department can seal and release it, and it will take at least one month. Don't worry, it's not too late to stay in the sea for a while." Finally, a handsome young man came, and of course he had to stay longer.
January? Didn't Lao You say ten days and a half months? Or this day, it depends on her mood. If this is the case, he has a solution. Shang Jun frowned deliberately and whispered in embarrassment: "It's so troublesome, this is difficult to do."
Meng Yiru asked with some doubts: "What's wrong? Shang Jun is in a hurry to go back?"
Shang Jun shook his head and replied with a look of regret: "That's not true, I think it is too few to go to the sea area only once a year. I asked the old crew that there should be four opportunities to enter and leave the sea area a year. Shang Jun plans to come four times a year. Now, it seems that it is not feasible.”
Hearing him say that four times a year, Meng Yiru's eyes lit up immediately, and said anxiously, "Why isn't it feasible?"
Seeing her excited look, Shang Jun deliberately sighed: "On the voyage, it will take a month and a half to go back and forth, plus loading and unloading between the two places, it will take ten days and a half months at least, and this customs clearance paper is so troublesome. , the back and forth time is not enough. Besides, Shang Jun comes four times a year and wants to exchange the seasonal products of various countries with the sea area. This time has dragged on for so long, I am afraid it is not new. It is really difficult to do this business. "
Dreaming is like secretly calculating, four times a year, she can deduct a lot of various expenses, and the more goods exchanged at the port, the more capable she is, and the better her political performance will naturally be. This is indeed a good thing for self-interest. The tariff is a huge expense, and the frequency is so intensive that the goods have to be restocked before they are sold. I don’t know how much money I have to invest in this back and forth. The young man in front of me really has such great ability. ? Meng Yiru hides the enthusiasm in her eyes, and persuades with good intentions: "Shangjun knows that this is expensive, and it needs to be carefully considered."
Shang Jun suddenly laughed and replied calmly: "You don't need to worry about this lord, silver is just a trivial matter for Shang Jun." In fact, Shang Jun couldn't help but boast, four times a year, it was really hard, but he passed the port shop today, Just taking a few casual glances, I have found that there are indeed many rare treasures here. However, what gave Shang Jun the most confidence was that the tea and cloth that were in short supply in the sea happened to be owned by the Murong family. It was much easier and cheaper for him to prepare the goods than Bi Xian.
What a big breath. It turned out that she thought that he was just a little person who came in place of Bi Xian, and that Pi Xiangjun was a little bit more handsome, but now it seems that she has missed it. Meng Yi Ru secretly re-examined the man in front of him. With his beautiful face, clear temperament, firm eyes, and generous attitude, maybe he is the real God of Wealth.
Putting away the frivolous attitude, Meng Yiru smiled seriously: "Shang Jun is indeed a man of courage. If it is as you said, I can help you deal with the court, maybe within ten days. Finish the customs clearance paper."
"It will take ten more days?" Shang Jun shook his head and said, "It's better for the adults to help us introduce, and Shang Jun personally visits the Minister of the Household Department." Shang Jun said the word "visit" with extra force, which was also implying that he didn't mind the dream. Spend some money.
Meng Yiru immediately said urgently: "This is not necessary, the Ministry of Household is responsible for all kinds of opportunities every day, I am afraid that I have no time to pay attention to you, the maritime affairs, this is the responsibility of the Commercial Supervision Department, it is more appropriate for me to come forward, six days! What do you think of Shang Jun?" Originally, the customs clearance paper can be completed in ten days, if Shang Jun met the householder, wouldn't it be bad, and besides, it would not be better to use the money to honor her.
The goal was achieved, and Shang Jun smiled cheerfully: "Okay, just six days." In this way, they will be able to return to the East corner soon.
Meng Yiru breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "Will the fleet be led by Shang Jun in the future?" She was reluctant to bear such a handsome gentleman. That Bi Xian is really difficult to deal with, there are many tricks, Shang Jun may let her get what she wants.
With that kind of look again, Shang Jun smiled bitterly in his heart, he wouldn't suffer any loss, he was just uncomfortable. Shang Jun thought for a while, but did not tell the truth, and replied: "Yes, Shang Jun is afraid that he will often harass adults."
When he heard that Shang Jun would come often in the future, and he was so aware of current affairs, Meng Yiru immediately smiled, raised his glass again and again, and said, "Where, where. Come, let's have another drink."
Shang Jun didn't dare to drink any more, he pressed down the glass, got up and said, "Your Excellency is good at drinking, and Shang Jun is ashamed. After running around for days, Shang Jun is a little tired, so I said goodbye."
Meng Yiru also got up and said, "I haven't had enough wine yet, so I can't go."
Shang Jun couldn't stand such a charming woman who pretended to be shy and held back with another command tone, took a few steps back without a trace, and said embarrassingly: "It will be a long time to come to Japan. Shang Jun will say goodbye first."
After Shang Jun finished speaking, no matter what Mengyiru had to say, he left in a hurry.
The sentence "It will be long in the future" made Meng Yiru sit down with peace of mind, Ren Shangjun left, she was too impatient to frighten him, and there were countless silver taels behind him, so she would be better off.
The customs clearance paper has been negotiated, and Mengyiru should do her best to achieve such a win-win situation. Shang Jun swore that he would never set foot on the land of the sea again, at least, when he was a man, he would never set foot again.
Shang Jun walked out of the backyard in a hurry. He happened to meet Lan Yi, who was restless and agitated in the front hall of the Commercial Supervisory Division. Shang Jun stopped and called, "Miss Lan."
Lan Yi suddenly heard the voice, raised her head slightly in shock, and saw the merchant in white shirt under the shadow of the moon, her face changed slightly, as if she didn't want to talk to him, she turned and walked towards the side hall.
Shang Jun smiled slightly, he didn't want to take care of other people's affairs, but Bi Xian's affairs, he had to mess up today. Who told him to meet him at first sight! With his back to Lan Yi, with a touch of irony and reproach, Shang Jun deliberately whispered: "Does Miss Lan really care about Bi Xian's life and death?"
In this quiet night, the clear voice was extraordinarily clear, and it was extraordinarily hurtful. Lan Yi's foot was unable to advance or retreat. She secretly took a deep breath and replied indifferently: "Leaving the sea is for his own good, he If you can’t think about it, you can only suffer yourself.”
His heart is obviously entangled in Bi Xian, why is he so stubborn? Didn't she know that her voice was shaking so badly? Shang Jun really didn't understand, "Miss Lan has Bi Xian in her heart, why bother to torture him and herself like this."
Shang Jun thought that Lan Yi would leave as resolutely in the afternoon, but she didn't agree, but she suddenly turned around, stared straight at Shang Jun, and sneered: "You don't understand at all, what qualifications do you have to judge yourself? Mr. Meng has other plans for him. He came to the sea to hide once, twice, three or four times? One day he will not be able to escape. He came to the sea for me, but he didn't know that I already had a husband. Would you like to be the side lord? It's impossible for me and him, it's better to end it early. It's over if it hurts my heart, and I'm out of love. "
Maybe the women in the sea are used to suppressing themselves. Even when Lan Yi was emotional, she still didn't yell hysterically, but her cat-like eyes were full of sadness and determination.
It turned out that she already had a husband. Does this woman really love Bi Xian too much and think about him in everything? Do you still love yourself too much, even if you hurt him and expel him, you don't want to tell the fact that you are married, do you want Bi Xian to never forget her
Shang Jun lightly sighed: "You, why don't you tell him the whole story, how to deal with Mr. Meng, whether to be your sidekun or not, should let him decide for himself, instead of hurting his heart, rejecting his feelings, When he throws it out of the sea, the matter is over. Bi Xian is not a man from the sea, he has the ability to protect himself, and he knows how to deal with his own feelings. But you made him 'dead to death'."
"Me!" The sentence "I can't rest my eyes" made Lan Yi speechless.
"I can bring you a letter to him, whether to write it or not, what to write, Miss Lan can decide for herself." The love-hate relationship between men and women, if he wants to talk about it, he will never talk about the various thoughts here. Do not understand it. Shang Jun walked out of the vestibule slowly, his voice still gentle, but a little tired.
The shopping street at night, without the hustle and bustle of the day, is more demure. The bluestone slab under the moonlight reflects the moonlight, and walking on it is like walking on a slender and circuitous jade belt, which makes people feel peaceful and peaceful. Shang Jun lowered his head, but his thoughts were complicated. The exchange of goods with the Xiao family had been negotiated, and the commerce in the sea area was getting better. He was walking step by step according to the dark line that Murong Shuqing said.
But what about Cang Yue's political situation, the general trend of the DPRK and China, the changes in personnel, and, where are the imperial edicts and the Fengguo Yuxi that can make Longchong Mu's eternal life? He doesn't know anything. Even if it was only a year, he felt exhausted physically and mentally. Whenever such a silent night, he often asked himself, can he really avenge his parents? When will it take revenge
Shang Jun unconsciously clenched his arms, the late autumn night was so cold.
"Shangjun." A surprised male voice came from a distance, breaking the silence and cold of the night.
Shang Jun slowly lowered his arms, straightened his back, put away the confusion in his eyes, and waited for Xiao Zongqing who trotted over.
Xiao Zongqing ran to Shang Jun, panting slightly and complaining, "Why did you come back so late?"
Shang Jun replied indifferently: "Sir Meng must have me stay for dinner, so it's a little late, why haven't you boarded the boat to rest?"
Xiao Zongqing rubbed his hands together and smiled unnaturally: "Me?? I want to see the night scene, and I'll wait for you to come back by the way."
He wouldn't tell Shang Jun that he had been waiting for him to come back since he left. When Shangjun was there, he wanted to keep watching him; when Shangjun was away, he thought about how they met and what they did together. In short, all his heart is always thinking about Shangjun. Just now, he found out that he likes Shangjun and wants to be with him forever.
Shang Jun raised his eyes and saw that they had already arrived at the harbor. Although there were only a few fishing fires, the vastness and beauty of the sea could not be seen clearly, but the sea under the moonlight had a mysterious charm. Something to watch. Shang Jun smiled and said: "You can enjoy it slowly. It's almost winter, the weather is cold, and you should be careful about your body."
Shang Jun turned around and wanted to get on the boat, but Xiao Zongqing suddenly called out behind him, "Shang Jun!"
Shang Jun turned around inexplicably, looked at Xiao Zongqing standing there awkwardly, and said with a strange smile: "The moon tonight is very beautiful, let's enjoy the moon together."
Enjoy the moon? He didn't know that San'er was still so elegant, Shang Jun gently waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm a little tired, you can see for yourself."
The appearance of San'er hesitating to speak made Shang Jun finally see some clues, and he couldn't help asking: "Do you have something to say to me?" What makes it difficult for San'er to do whatever he wants? Shang Jun couldn't help but be curious.
Shang Jun looked at him seriously, Xiao Zongqing was so nervous that his mind went blank, and immediately replied: "No."
Tongue is almost knotted and said no. Shang Jun laughed, and his head began to ache again. Forget it, he was really tired, so he turned around and took two steps. Xiao Zongqing suddenly shouted: "Yes, I have something to say."
Shang Jun turned around helplessly and looked at San'er who was very nervous today with a funny look.
Xiao Zongqing coughed lightly, and Shang Jun thought he was going to say something. Who knows, he put away his joking expression and asked, "How old is Shang Jun this year?"
Uh? That's why he doesn't sleep at night? Shang Jun answered honestly: "Twenty."
Sure enough, she is twenty, a girl is not too young to be twenty years old, but Shang Jun is not old at all. Looking at Shang Jun, he said seriously: "I am sixteen." Although it is four years old, it is not much .
"Who is there in your family?" Xiao Zongqing then asked.
Shang Jun stiffened, and after a long time he said, "Sister."
Xiao Zongqing whispered, "I have two older brothers." He didn't care about the sadness that flashed on Jun Shang's face, because his mind was in another place.
The age is similar, the family background is also very similar, he and Shang Jun are really a good match. The more I think about it, the more suitable it is, the more pleasant the smile on my face.
Shang Jun is at a loss, he hesitated for a long time just for this? Recalling his weird behavior in the past few days, and thinking about the question just now, Shang Jun looked very clear and laughed: "San'er, do you want to swoop with me as brothers? I have no opinion, I have long ago Treat you as a brother."
When Xiao Zongqing heard this, his face that was still full of smiles turned dark immediately, and shouted, "Who wants to swoop with you as brothers." Why doesn't he understand
It's not sworn, then he asked him about his age just now, and who else in his family, when he was still on the boat, he thought he was the brother of his swastika? Shang Jun had a headache before, but now it hurts even more. He asked in confusion, "San'er, what happened to you tonight?"
"Me??" He didn't know what to do. Looking at Shang Jun's tired face, Xiao Zongqing waved his hand irritably and said impatiently: "I'm fine, you go to sleep first, I'll sit for a while."
"Okay, you also rest early." Shang Jun didn't ask any more questions and got on the boat.
Staring at Shang Jun's beautiful back and disappearing in front of him, Xiao Zongqing lowered his head in frustration, what should I do now? Shang Jun had no idea what he wanted to say. How does he let Shang Jun know that he likes him
Ugh?
