Zhao'er strode into Shibosi Yamen, and did not go to the front office, but went directly to the back office where Xue Tingxiang worked.
When I went, Xue Tingxiang was there.
"Why are you back at this time
Seeing Zhao'er, Xue Tingxiang was a little surprised, and as he spoke, he waved his eyes away from the official who was talking to him.
After the official left, Zhao'er looked at him and smiled and said, "What? You don't want me to come back?"
"how come."
He stood up, came to Zhao'er, and hugged her.
"I'm just a little surprised, everything is done outside?"
Zhao'er shook his head and said, "The owner of the Hongchang ticket has been reluctant to see me, so I will come back first."
Hongchang ticket number is the leading large ticket number in the Suzhou-Hangzhou area. There are semicolons in Suzhou, Zhenjiang, Guangde, Yangzhou and other places. There are many ticket numbers in the Jiangnan area, of different sizes, but if the most powerful one is the Hongchang ticket number, Zhao'er would like to win the other party, but unfortunately the other party doesn't pick up at all.
"This kind of big ticket number will not easily cooperate with outsiders, and I told you before that it may be difficult to do it in the Jiangnan area. Don't forget whose land it is."
Whose land? Naturally, it was the Wu family's land. Xue Tingxiang had told Zhao'er about this before, so she was still a little mentally prepared.
"It's a bit difficult to say that. Well, let's not mention these, I want to rest for a few days when I come back from this trip, and then I will take care of the next regulations. I can't hang myself on a tree with a crooked neck. If it's a big deal, we will Prepare both hands. However, the Hongchang ticket number did not refuse, but just said that the big boss went out and let me go after a while."
Xue Tingxiang nodded and was about to say something when someone knocked on the door outside.
"I won't disturb you, you keep busy, I'll go find a place to sleep, call me when you go back." Saying that, Zhao'er went to the small cubicle behind the study.
The Shibo Division here is different from that in Dinghai County, where the space is limited, so the house is built extremely compactly. All the useless places have been omitted. Like Xue Tingxiang's dignified lifting, only a study was set up for office, and there was a small cubicle behind the study.
The place is not big, so there is nothing wrong with taking a break.
It was exhausting to hire cars and horses, and it was not easy to take a car or change boats. He took off his jacket, untied the comforter straps around his chest, and fell asleep.
By the time Xue Tingxiang finished his official business, it was getting late.
He didn't come to Dinghai City every day, but after he came, he wouldn't spend the night here, but he had to go back.
After all, Honger is still at home.
The last normal ship from Shuangyu Island to Dinghai City was in Youshi. Although he was the director of the municipal shipping department and the admiral of the navy, he could send him back to Dinghai if he searched for a ship. Between Dinghai and Shuangyu Island, they all follow cargo ships.
He entered the cubicle, and the person on the couch was sound asleep.
The bun was taken apart, and Crow Crow's long hair was scattered all over the bed. She half-folded the quilt, with one hand on the pillow and the other on the quilt. She frowned slightly, as if she had something on her mind, her eyes were slightly blue, and it was obvious that she had not slept well.
At this time, Zhao'er seems to have a particularly weak temperament, and it is not like the appearance of a graceful son and brother who usually walks outside, which makes people unable to help pity.
He reached out and touched her face, and couldn't help but stroked her eyebrows, and the slight knot was smoothed out.
"Don't bother me." Zhao'er closed his eyes, muttered in his mouth, and reached out to brush his hand away.
"I'll take you home."
He picked her up from the couch and accompanied her with the quilt. Zhao'er only struggled for a while, maybe this position was too comfortable, and she was too sleepy, so she fell asleep again.
Xue Tingxiang tucked the quilt, making sure it was covered, so he raised his voice and called someone to prepare the car.
The sun was setting outside, and a carriage was parked in front of the gate. Xue Tingxiang walked out of the shipping department with Zhao'er in his arms and got into the car.
The carriage quickly moved and moved forward.
Not far from the street corner, two people were walking as if nothing had happened. In fact, if you paid attention, you would know that they had been wandering here for a long time. After seeing the carriage leaving, they turned and disappeared into the crowd.
Located in the west of Dinghai City, inns and restaurants are all built here.
Don't look at Dinghai Kaifu, it's only less than half a year, but in fact, many changes have taken place here. There is no curfew in Dinghai, and shops, restaurants, and inns can stay overnight.
There has always been no separation between wine and sex, and because of the custom in Dachang, many businesses are negotiated through drinking and drinking tea, so naturally there is a brothel here.
But it is the only one, so business is very good. Every day when night falls, this Penglai Pavilion is the most lively place in Dinghai City.
The inn where Mo Jia and others settled was next to the Penglai Pavilion, which was considered to be the best location. Dagen and Leizitou raised their heads greedily and glanced at the bright lights not far away, and hurriedly entered the inn.
"The surnamed Xue returned to Dinghai County. He seemed to be holding a person in his arms and hurriedly got on the carriage."
This room is located on the second floor, and there is a row of sill windows facing the street. At this time, all of them are opened, and the slightly cool sea breeze blows in from the outside, a fishy and salty smell belonging to the sea.
Mo Jia sat in front of the window drinking tea, heard the words and nodded, and the sunspot beside him motioned for the two to withdraw.
"Hallmaster, according to what Hallmaster Lu said, I'm afraid it's not easy to handle, we can see some clues after walking such a trip, just relying on Luan Jiaoyang and the people we brought, we can't move here at all. "
"Of course I know."
"Then you..."
"If you don't come and see, how do you know if there is a chance."
Mogga put down the teacup, stood up, and looked out the window. The lights are bright outside, but it is dark in the distance, but it is not better than Qiongzhou.
There, there is absolutely no such bright lights.
"This Hall Master Lu is also true, he and the Shao man are just flirting with each other, but now he has called us out."
Mogga turned to look at Kuroko with a smile.
He has black hair and a shawl, wearing a black robe, tall and slender. Because the whole body is black, the face is more like a crown jade, a pair of blue-black eyes, at this moment there is a lazy smile on the corner of the mouth, five points of dignity, three points of unruly, two points of elegance, I am afraid that anyone can Wouldn't have thought that such a person was actually a pirate.
"Don't say that, Hall Master Lu is also doing big things for the gang. This Shuangyu Island has robbed us a lot of business. Since the opening of Fu here, there have been fewer oriental merchant ships going to the Nanyang area. What do the gang expect to eat? Say you know."
"Then what should we do? If we don't, we will rob the mother-in-law surnamed Xue? But there are rules in the gang, and everything does not involve the wife and children. If the big dragon knows—"
"You ask me about this, I don't know, you have to ask Lu Qi."
"Then us?"
"What's the hurry, we're not the only ones here, don't forget there are them."
Which of them is, of course, the Yaoye and the others.
Xuanzitang and Dizitang belong to different halls. Lu Qi can't call the people of Xuanzitang, but Mo Jia agreed to come here. Anyway, Heizi can't understand what the hall master thinks.
"And watch it quietly."
Zhao'er didn't wake up until the next morning, because she was hungry.
After people prepared meals and ate a full meal, they heard from Xue Tingxiang that Shen Ping was coming.
"Brother Shen is here? He's looking for us?"
Xue Tingxiang shook his head and said that Shen Ping was doing business by himself.
There were very few things he didn't know on the Shuangyu Island. Zhao Di found someone to investigate Shenping. When Zhao Di knew about it, Xue Tingxiang knew it too.
"According to this, Big Brother Shen has left the Shen family, and he is alone. The situation is not very good. I will ask my sister to go."
Xue Tingxiang stopped her: "don't go, let your sister handle this by herself."
"You mean—"
"Aren't you a pity that Brother Wei has no father?"
Zhao'er's eyes lit up, she didn't know what to think of a smile, and nodded immediately: "Then I won't go."
After that, Zhao'er went to see Zhao Di, and she didn't mention Shen Ping's matter, so he just pretended he didn't know, just looked at Brother Wei's eyes with a smile, and the more he looked, the more suitable he felt.
Brother Wei and Hong'er went to the study, and the two little guys were talking on the road.
"I think the look in my aunt's eyes today is a little weird." Brother Wei said.
"Why don't I think, my mother has always been like this."
"That might be me feeling wrong."
Shen Ping ran around for another day, and finally found a shop to receive his goods.
It's that the price is extremely low. If he agrees to sell it, he will lose half of the money this time.
Shen Ping said that he would think about it for a long time, so he went out of this corner store. The shopkeeper in the shop looked at him with a smile, knowing that he would come back again.
The warehouse storage fee of Shibosi is not high, but this is only for those large cargo merchants. For such a small businessman, only a few truckloads of goods can be regarded as a huge expense.
No matter where you are, it is impossible to be clear and bright. There are many small shops in Dinghai City that specialize in this bowl of rice. Knowing that these small merchants can't afford it, they deliberately lower the price and sell at a low price.
One is willing to fight this kind of thing and one is willing to suffer, as long as the contract is signed during the transaction, even the Shibo Division can't control it.
Shen Ping returned to the inn where he stayed. The food and lodging here were more than several times more expensive than outside, so Shen Ping asked for two rooms, a large one for the guys to live in, and a smaller one for himself.
It's not that he doesn't know that he still has a way to go, to find Zhaodi, and even more to find Zhao'er or Xue Tingxiang, Shen Ping now knows that Xue Tingxiang is the recommendation of the Dinghai Shipping Division. With an old relationship, how could they help him, but he had no such thoughts at all, and he didn't know what he was insisting on.
He walked back slowly along the way. In fact, he had already planned to sell the goods. He just needed time to settle down a little depressed mood.
If you lose, you will lose. The big deal is to start all over again.
He pushed open the door and walked in. Who would have thought that there was a person sitting in the room.
A woman, charming and enchanting, seductive.
The woman glared at him with anger on her face: "I said, are you just going to sell your goods? Come to your door to make you embarrassed, and would rather suffer than I help you?"
“Sulan…”
"Don't call me Sulan, my name is Zhaodi now!"
"Zhao Di."
"I said what are you going to do?"
Shen Ping scratched his head and smiled nonchalantly: "I can have any plans, in fact, I didn't suffer any losses, I just didn't make any money. Zhao Di, you don't need to worry about this matter, I can handle it well, that's why I didn't want to ask you for help."
"One or two pieces of cloth, you plan to sell half of them, your six-carriage has more than 5,000 pieces, what are you going to do with the half-folded silver?"
"It's the first time I have no experience. Besides, the home cloth is really not on the table."
Zhao Di sneered: "Why do you think that the home cloth can't be put on the table? Could it be that those shops told you that? Songjiang's cotton cloth is the best in the world, but it doesn't mean that Shanxi's home cloth is not good, it's all cotton cloth. It’s just that the names are different, and it’s just a bit different. Good cloth is good cloth, and bad cloth is sold, foreigners can’t tell what is good or bad, but Songjiang cotton cloth is famous, they are cheating you. "
Shen Ping did not speak.
Zhao Di said again: "You know they are cheating on you? You know they are cheating on you, and you still plan to sell them?!"
"Zhao Di, why don't you say this, I have my own considerations." Shen Ping pleaded with his head down.
"What are you thinking about? What you are thinking about is that you don't want to come and beg me." As Zhao Di spoke, she moved forward. Because of her pressing step by step, Shen Ping could only back up until she hit the door panel and had no way out. Refundable.
"Shen Ping, I'm so afraid of you?"
"Zhao Di..."
"What the hell are you afraid of me? Huh?"
The distance between the two is closer than ever in their life, almost skin to skin, separated by only two thin layers of fabric, and they can even feel the heat on each other.
Shen Ping felt her mouth dry, her heart was pounding, her head was dizzy, and her mouth and nose were full of the fragrance of her body.
He wanted to take a few more puffs, but he was afraid that there would be no such opportunity from now on, which would make him go deep into the bone marrow and become seriously ill, and the medicine would not work. But he was reluctant to smell it, so he could only take a small sip, feeling that he was surrounded by her breath, and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Until a tender hand touched his face, the flesh on his face couldn't help shaking.
"Why are you so afraid of me?"
Looking at the beautiful face so close, Shen Ping's eyes trembled: "Zhao Di, I'm not afraid of you..."
"What is that? Like? I remember you said you wanted to marry me before. Why didn't you see you so afraid of me back then?"
But only once, Shen Ping smiled bitterly.
He's not actually afraid, but if he can't get it, he won't get the best, and those who have never eaten meat will not care about the fragrance of meat. But as long as people who don't know the taste of meat can taste the goodness of meat, I am afraid it will flood into disaster in the future.
Especially when he treats her...
"Zhao Di, do you feel the heat, let's sit by the window, shall we?"
"I'm not hot, I'm cold, and I wear less clothes when I go out." Saying that, Zhao Di squeezed forward again, Shen Ping's eyes could no longer be ignored, and fell on the towering place close at hand.
The haze-colored fabric can be seen a little through when you get close, and you can vaguely see the jade-white skin underneath it. It seems to be wearing a bellyband with almonds and white embroidered peony flowers, revealing a little shadow. Under that shadow, it was squeezed and slightly deformed and rounded.
It was squeezed by the man's strong chest, the calm as a stone and the softness that made people ecstasy, Shen Ping felt a hot nose.
This feeling is a bit old, but it is not unfamiliar. Shen Ping subconsciously covered her nose, pushed her away slightly, and hurried to the window.
coward. Zhao Di thought to herself, and said, "Let's not talk about anything else, I'll help you find a place to sell that batch of cloth."
"Zhao Di, why bother you."
"Of course it's not unpaid. You can go to the shop and serve me as a guy for two months as a reward."
