Chapter 521 Cooperation
Hearing what she said, the shopkeeper suddenly showed surprise, "It's not easy to cooperate with her. You have to have hundreds of thousands of copies at least to get the goods. Miss, you look young, and you have such Financial resources. However, the rouge business is so good, why do you want to be a grain merchant now?" "
What the shopkeeper said is true, the business is indeed good, but there is no shortage of rich people in the world. Especially Mrs. Lin's Cosmetics do not need to be transported. If the location is not good, the transportation alone is a big expense, and the price is a little expensive, which is not affordable for ordinary people, so I want to expand my network. After all, people depend on food. " Lin Huiru said seriously, but this is also some shortcomings of cosmetics, the local limitations are too large, but fortunately, it is only one of her businesses.
Hearing what she said, Shopkeeper Wan nodded repeatedly.
"So that's true. Indeed , this grain and oil business will never have a chance. Everyone has to eat, and they can't live without these things." Are you ready?" Lin Huiru raised her eyebrows and got to the point.
"Naturally, but it's a lot of goods, and it's not a small sum. To put it bluntly, this is the first time we have cooperated with you, Ms. Xu. We are worried that the money will be short when the goods arrive, and you may be worried that the goods will not arrive when the money arrives. Although our Wan family is well-known in Minzhou, you are not from Minzhou either. So, to be on the safe side, you might as well talk to our owner about splitting the goods, how about it?" Shopkeeper Wan said. Followed Lin Huiru's will.
What she wants to see is the owner of the Wan family, and it should be the head of the Wan family.
"This... well, but I'll be here soon, I don't know when is convenient?" Lin Huiru pretended to hesitate.
Shopkeeper Wan quickly picked up the conversation, "It's okay, you can see our boss at any time for such a big business. Recently, it happens to be the best time for the rice noodle business, and our boss will not go far. Our boss is the well-known Wan Hengtong, you only need to go directly to Wanjia to find him."
"This... I want to buy something, and there is a reason to go to the door?" Lin Huiru frowned, "The left and right are supplied separately, so I might as well just find a few stores to sell separately, that's all, thank you for the hospitality of the shopkeeper
Shopkeeper Wan panicked when he said this, and quickly got up to block Lin Huiru's way, "Miss Xu, don't be angry, then you wait here, let's go back and inform the boss, how about it?" "Forget it, I don't
want to Wait for someone." Lin Huiru still refused, and Xu Ziqiao was a little confused by his tone, but now he was going to play the role of a well-behaved male pet, so he could only stand by the side without saying a word.
Seeing her persistence, shopkeeper Wan couldn't help but slander that the little girl from a rich family was spoiled. But even if he was a little dissatisfied, he couldn't express it. After all, this was a big client. If the business was successful, he would get a lot of money.
Shopkeeper Wan gritted his teeth, "Well, Miss Xu, tell me a time, and I'll make an appointment for you, how about that?" "There's no
reason for me to make an appointment. If you give me some time, I can think about it." " Lin Huiru snorted coldly, vividly interpreting the arrogance of the rich and the arrogance of no one.
Although Wan Hengtong is also a wealthy businessman, he is in business after all, and now Wan Hengtong has to take care of her, not her.
"Okay, okay, then the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, on the Ching Ming stage, my boss will wait for you there." Shopkeeper Wan said respectfully. At first he still had some doubts about whether Lin Huiru was looking for trouble.
Until just now, Lin Huiru rolled up her sleeves while deliberately akimbo, revealing a blood jade table worth ten thousand taels on her wrist. Shopkeeper Wan is also a discerning person, how can a person who can afford such a thing be short of that little money. Ten thousand gold worth of grain is not worth as much as this bracelet.
After the goal was achieved, when she left Wanshi Commercial Bank, Lin Huiru said that she walked with wind, "See, this is not what we sent up. Only when they beg us to do this business can they turn customers into the main business, and then it will be better." take advantage of this man."
"That's what you said, but how sure are you that this Wanhengtong will definitely help us?" Xu Ziqiao walked beside Lin Huiru with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Well... let's put it this way, the one who occupies the best and largest area of ââa market, and who dares to rob people and dare not speak up, must be the local snake in the world. Besides, who can take out 10,000 catties of rice in one go Although the supply of goods may not be sufficient, but you call that kind of small store, they will never dare to hoard more than 10,000 catties of food. Those who can produce these must have tens of thousands of catties or more than ten thousand catties. Ten thousand." Lin Huiru walked ahead with her head held high and her chest held high, confident about the matter.
"But he's just a grain merchant after all." Xu Ziqiao still didn't know anything about business.
Lin Huiru waved his hand, "It doesn't matter what he sells, the important thing is that he is the biggest businessman, there is no such thing as a clean relationship between a businessman and an official, and if we tell him to sell goods steadily, He will definitely recommend us to the local officials to make acquaintances, and then we will have a relationship, and it will be more convenient for us to check the matter." Lin Huiru said, snapping his fingers.
"However, that official is a human being after all. If we were only talking to him on paper, how could he get too close to us?" Xu Ziqiao seemed to be a million reasons at the moment, asking all kinds of questions.
"I'm really buying it. I'm really planning to buy some grain and go to the capital to do business." Lin Huiru shrugged her shoulders with a calm face. ââBut Xu Ziqiao seemed to be choking, " Why do you buy so much rice? Ten thousand catties, you want to eat it until the
year of the monkey?"
It's not bad. If you can go to the capital, you will be very welcome." Lin Huiru blinked, and since she ate hot pot just now, she felt that the rice here had a special taste.
"...Well, forget it, as long as you are happy." Xu Ziqiao was a little hard to refute for a while, but now that Lin Huiru is not short of the money, he just let it go, and Lin Huiru has always had a good business acumen. Better not to interfere.
"Oh, many merchants are now doing local business. There are not many merchants who transport rice from the south to the capital, because although some people care about the quality of some precious items, most people don't care about what they eat. Yes, but if there is, they would like to eat better food, but ordinary merchants cannot afford the risk of transporting it there." Lin Huiru explained.
Chapter 522 Wan Hengtong
Xu Ziqiao nodded, and he knew this, "I see. After all, the capital is a relatively affluent place, and the common people may care more about what they eat. If it is rice with better quality and taste, it will It will be loved."
"That's right, that's it, so I will indeed buy from them, so we can also rely on this opportunity to get close to Wan Hengtong and local officials." Lin Huiru grew out In one breath, she finally explained this truth to Xu Ziqiao.
"Well, let's not talk about this. It's getting late now, and I haven't had a good night's sleep on the boat. Let's find a place to sleep first. After all, the appointment is the day after tomorrow. If you want, we will go tomorrow. Walk around." Xu Ziqiao helped Lin Huiru pin back a strand of hair beside her ear, and there was a strong affection between the two.
Bai Qianyi didn't have the eyes to look any further, he could only hold his sword and walk in front, but before taking two steps, he was blocked by a woman.
He frowned, and wanted to avoid it, but the girl brought a bouquet of flowers into her arms. This action caused the people around to watch the scene to sigh, and some even applauded and whistled. The girl's face suddenly turned red, she turned around and ran away.
Just when Bai Qianyi was at a loss and didn't know what to do, Lin Huiru smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "I asked an aunt just now, and she said it's a tradition here. , if a woman has a man she likes, she will fold her favorite flower and throw it to the man. If the man is interested, he can come to the door to propose marriage directly." "It's easy, but this kind of relationship should only be based on looking at
others His appearance." Bai Qianyi frowned and looked at the flower, and he also noticed that the girl was secretly watching him from the side just now.
For a while, Bai Qianyi didn't want to throw it away or keep it, so he just walked a few steps, squatted down and planted the flowers in the ground by the roadside.
"You are so ruthless. I just saw that the girl looks good, and although the southern girls are passionate, they are also very gentle. You don't want to marry one back, and the wife and children are hot on the bed?" Lin Huiru glanced. The flower shook her head regretfully.
"That's so good, why don't you marry one back?" Bai Qianyi turned around and sneered, and from the corner of his eye, he noticed that the woman was relieved after she left dejectedly.
Lin Huiru was dumbfounded, "I'm not a man, but if I were a man, three wives and four concubines should be pretty good." Hearing what she said,
Xu Ziqiao suddenly turned his head to look at her with slightly raised eyebrows, The Adam's apple rolled, "Huh? What did you say?"
"...I said, three wives and four concubines should be pretty good, but it's not as good as a couple for a lifetime. You, a beautiful man, are enough." Lin Hui said Ru touched Xu Ziqiao's chin frivolously, and smiled slyly.
For the sake of her mischievousness, Xu Ziqiao was also very helpless, "Okay, let's stop making trouble. After walking for so long, I think this inn is not bad." After hearing this, Lin Huiru looked back, and there was
indeed There was a well-decorated inn, so they nodded and called Bai Qianyi to come in together, "Xiaoer, please give me two rooms." "Okay, do you need
something to eat? Our shop Melons, fruits and snacks are complete, if you don't have any, we can buy them for you as long as you pay." Xiaoer led the way attentively, introducing his business enthusiastically as he walked.
"No need for now, I will let you know if necessary." Lin Huiru went up to the so-called upper compartment, looked around and was slightly surprised.
The opening of this store was really beyond her expectations. In the past, when she was in the capital, it was nothing more than a high-end decoration and a little more classy, ââbut here, not only the decoration is elegant and elegant, but even a card table and a bathtub are prepared to be placed directly on the floor. In the house, there are rockery and pond fish on the left and right, and there is a vague effect of humidification.
"Our upper compartment here is one hundred and two days, how long do you plan to stay?" Xiaoer asked.
After hearing Bai Liang, Bai Qianyi frowned, "Ma'am, I can just live in a wing room.
" Come find me again." After Lin Huiru finished speaking, she threw a money bag over, she was very satisfied with the room.
What's more, she had cheated several thousand taels of gold from Qingwu before, and now it's not short of the money, it's rare to come out, why not spend it extravagantly?
Even so, Bai Qianyi was still a little brooding. After all, in just two days, he would have a month's worth of money in.
"Okay, don't make a sad face, I won't deduct your money. By the way, didn't you say that money is something outside of you, why are you paying so much attention to it?" Lin Huiru raised her eyebrows, thinking in her heart that it was this elm My head is open, and I am ready to marry a wife. .
"I thought so before, but later I found out that the capital is really spending money like water. If there is no money, you can't live." Bai Qianyi sighed, and the words that a penny is hard for a hero are not just kidding, but after arriving in the capital. Only then did I realize it. What's more, Bai Shu is the younger sister, so he should give his younger sister some gifts occasionally or take her out for a walk.
Lin Huiru nodded, "It's good if you can understand this truth, that's enough, you have been traveling all the way, take a good rest for a few days, if there is anything you want to buy, you can advance the money with me first. Xiaoer, two The food and drink in the room will be recorded in one account."
"Okay, then I will prepare tea and hot water for the three of you first, and you can take a bath and rest comfortably in a while. The three of you are from other places, we There are many interesting and delicious things in Minzhou." Xiaoer continued to introduce enthusiastically.
Now Lin Huiru also understood what he meant, so he handed over a few taels of silver as a tip, "Okay, go down, I will find you when I need it." "Thank you, guest officer." After the goal was
achieved , Xiaoer retreated happily, humming a ditty while walking on the corridor.
Xu Ziqiao suddenly chuckled beside him, holding a jade pot in his hand, "Fortunately, I came out secretly this time, otherwise, if word got out, I'm afraid I would be scolded for being extravagant." "You
have A rich lady, so what if she is extravagant." Lin Huiru skipped over and sat down, admiring the delicate utensils.
"Okay, thank you, Ma'am." Xu Ziqiao took Lin Huiru into his arms and heaved a sigh of relief. His wish to accompany Lin Huiru for a walk outside was fulfilled.
Lin Huiru leaned in Xu Ziqiao's arms, raised her head and pinched his chin, "Why are you sighing? Seeing that I have lost so much money, the beauty will give me a smile and see?"
Chapter 523 Wan Jiaojiao
The boundary of Minzhou is most famous for some local snacks. Lin Huiru regained her spirits after a day's rest, and pulled Xu Ziqiao out of the inn without saying a word, and went straight to the local snack street.
"No matter how many things here are, they are not as delicious as yours." Xu Ziqiao raised his hand and used a folding fan to block Lin Huiru from the sun. Originally, thick clothes were still required in the capital, but the sunlight here in Minzhou was already a little hot.
"Stop being sweet, some things are different, and we have to go around to find out the news. I don't think I can expect to know about my goods from Wanhengtong. I have to find a way to find out the whereabouts myself. "Lin Huiru was still a little embarrassed. After all, the things she made were all snacks made for thousands of years.
Xu Ziqiao smiled, "Okay, as you said."
"Ah!" As soon as they entered the downtown area, the three of them heard a scream, and a woman not far away was shouting hysterically, "Catch the thief!"
Among the chaotic crowd, the thief carrying the money bag was very obvious. When he passed by Bai Qianyi, Bai Qianyi subconsciously stretched out his foot, knocked the man upside down, and viciously slapped the man on the ground. He stared at Bai Qianyi.
When the woman came after her, the thief had disappeared, and there was only a bulging money bag left on the ground.
After some tossing, the mouth of the purse was slightly opened, revealing the golden things inside, which made Lin Huiru speechless. Inside was a bag full of gold ingots. Walking on the street with this thing, it was a girl's house, so it would be strange not to be targeted.
The woman who rushed over was dressed in high-quality materials, and the jewelry on her head and hands was absolutely extraordinary. It seemed that she was rich and powerful, otherwise she would not have run outside with so much money.
"Thank you, thank you." The woman ran out of breath, and after thanking Bai Qianyi, she turned her gaze to Xu Ziqiao. Lin Huiru couldn't ignore the sudden blush on the base of her ears.
"You're welcome, thank him if you want." Lin Huiru frowned slightly, but she could understand the feelings of a girl.
But what she didn't expect was that the next moment the girl reached out to stop them, "Wait a minute, my name is Wan Jiaojiao, you should be together, right? In order to thank you for helping me get the money bag back, I invite you to eat Can we have a meal and express our feelings?"
"No..." Xu Ziqiao was about to refuse, but Lin Huiru interrupted him.
"It's just a little effort. If you want to invite him, please invite him alone." Lin Huiru pointed at Bai Qianyi, and Bai Qianyi couldn't help frowning. He hated dealing with women the most.
But Wan Jiaojiao was not discouraged, "Since you are together, how could you be separated by me? It happens to be time for dinner, and I just want to express my heart to the three of you." That's what she said, but she was so uneasy His eyes were divided, but they kept drifting towards Xu Ziqiao.
Lin Huiru couldn't help raising her eyebrows, which is interesting, she is going to see Wan Hengtong tomorrow, and now she can meet Wan Hengtong's daughter, what a coincidence, "Okay, then thank you Miss Wan for your kindness
Seeing that Lin Huiru agreed, but Xu Ziqiao didn't refuse, Wan Jiaojiao became happier and stood on the other side of Xu Ziqiao, "Thank you so much today, if I lose my purse, my father will definitely You'll scold me to death."
"By the way, your accent doesn't sound like ours from Minzhou, are you from other places?" When Wan Jiaojiao spoke, her eyes seemed to fall on Xu Ziqiao.
Xu Ziqiao didn't speak, Lin Huiru couldn't help but sighed, "We came from that part of the capital." "The capital,
it is said that the world is the largest and the capital is the richest, I would like to go to the capital if I have the chance. Why don't we just make friends, and I can play with you again when I go to the capital, I don't know what you call me." Wan Jiaojiao's familiar temperament made Lin Huiru feel a little disgusted.
"My name is Xu Ru, his name is Lin Qiao, and his name is Qian Yi." Lin Huiru glanced away from the corner of her eye, and now she understood what this little girl was thinking.
Although it was introduced by Lin Huiru, Wan Jiaojiao still clung to Xu Ziqiao, "I found that the two elder brothers are not very talkative? But you think I am too lively and overwhelmed?"
Lin Huiru almost rolled her eyes. The so-called feeling good about herself should be like this.
"I just don't like to talk to women other than my wife. The girl is out of the bar. These things are just a little effort. I still think this meal is unnecessary, so I leave." Xu Ziqiao couldn't bear it anymore, He glanced over coldly, then wrapped Lin Huiru's waist and strode away, followed closely by Bai Qianyi.
This move was unexpected by Wan Jiaojiao. As the only daughter of the Wan family, she has been calling the shots in Minzhou since she was a child. Anyone who wants to be brought to her eyes, even some official sons will want to marry her. Xu Ziqiao It was the first time she met someone so indifferent.
There were so many people in this big crowd, and although she was interested in Xu Ziqiao, she would not do anything that would lose her status. She could only look at the backs of the three of them and stomp their feet, and left unwillingly.
Walking on the street, Xu Ziqiao looked at Lin Huiru, feeling a little displeased in her heart. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Bai Qianyi also turned around and left with interest.
"Xiao Ru, did you just pretend you didn't see her hinting at me just now?" Xu Ziqiao frowned, tightly clutching Lin Huiru's wrist.
Lin Huiru curled her lips, "I see, but what can I do, what is mine is always mine, and what is not mine is not mine. Don't worry, I have confidence in you." "I know you
believe Me, but you are so afraid that the woman will mistakenly think that you don't care, so she will make an inch, and you are not in a good mood, why don't you just reject him, so as to save such trouble." Xu Ziqiao's voice was low, because of this matter There is always some discomfort in my heart.
"I heard her last name, and thought I might use her. Who knows, this woman is a man with big breasts, no brains, and eyes full of eyes. She can't look away when she looks at you." Lin Huiru couldn't help rolling her eyes , in fact, just now, she really felt very uncomfortable.
This feeling of being coveted by men on the street made her very disgusted, but she didn't say anything and didn't just let it go, she just wanted to see Xu Ziqiao's performance, but she didn't expect Xu Ziqiao to be unhappy now .
"In order to use her, you don't care about me anymore? What's more, that woman should really be as you said, she may not understand what's going on here, why do you continue to put up with her, you were not like this before." Xu Ziqiao frowned , Lin Huiru's behavior will only make him feel that she doesn't care about him that much.
Chapter 524 Unexpected
Lin Huiru folded her arms and stopped to look at Xu Ziqiao, "Could it be that you want me to drag her out thousands of miles away, or drag you out thousands of miles away. How can I expect a girl to be so careless outside? The image, there is still this kind of stalking. I was thinking about how to reject her, and you dragged me away." "Are
you really thinking about it?" Xu Ziqiao raised his eyebrows, obviously very suspicious.
"Really, but I really don't know what to say. After all, she didn't directly provoke me like Gu Lan. I have nothing to do with this kind of person. If you drag me away next time, I have absolutely no objection." As Lin Huiru said, she turned her head and smiled at Xu Ziqiao, "Don't be angry."
Now Xu Ziqiao's mood eased a lot. He used to dislike Lin Huiru's temperament, but until later he began to know how to distinguish women After thinking about it, I wish Lin Huiru could be more domineering or coquettish. After all, as a man, he always seems a little rude when he speaks harshly to women.
The two walked around the street for a long time, and their hands were full of all kinds of food, but Lin Huiru was disappointed by the taste. Most of the things in the south were sweet or spicy, but none of them suited her taste. Yes, when he reached the end of the street, Bai Qianyi looked like he had been waiting for a long time.
"Okay, let's find a place to eat too. I see there is a restaurant in front of me. I thought there would be some delicious stalls on the street here. It's a pity." Lin Huiru was about to hand it to Bai Qianyi. Seeing that Bai Qianyi refused, he had no choice but to put it in front of the begging children for them to loot it.
Not long after they walked out, they were suddenly called to a stop when they passed by a street.
"Stop."
Turning around, he saw a somewhat sloppy man, his hair was already matted into knots, and there was even a peculiar smell emanating from it in this weather.
Xu Ziqiao subconsciously protected Lin Huiru behind her, frowned and looked at the man up and down, "What's the matter?" "
Is it because you meddle in your own business? In our territory, when will it be your turn for outsiders to act chivalrously here. "The man picked his nose, looking very arrogant.
While talking, there are quite a few people dressed like beggars to pass by. Of course, there are also some well-dressed ones, all of whom are gearing up with malicious expressions on their faces. After a rough look, there are about twenty people.
"This group of people should be the local gang of bandits. Yue Mo came to seek revenge on us because of what happened just now. You two will run away in a while, and we will deal with this group of people." Bai Qianyi lowered his voice exhorted.
Lin Huiru was a little helpless, but she didn't expect things to turn out like this. But in broad daylight, these people are so insolent.
"Why are you still whispering, brothers, teach them a lesson!" The sloppy man seemed to be the leader of the group, and after the order was given, most of the twenty or so people came running over.
It's a pity that even if there were a hundred more of these people, they would not be Bai Qianyi's opponents. After a few screams, they were almost twisted on the ground. Pounced on it once.
"I think most of the officials in this place have problems. Broad daylight can make these people so rampant. This time, after you go back, some of them will play." Lin Huiru folded his arms and looked at the wonderful battle in front of him, smashing it from time to time Mouth.
Xu Ziqiao nodded, raised his foot and kicked away the people running towards them, "These people are a mixed bag, including thieves and beggars, and they should be committing crimes on a regular basis. In any case, the problem of local officials cannot be ruled out. See Come on, the lost things will definitely get some words out of the mouths of those officials."
"That person is going to run away!" Lin Huiru listened, and at the same time paid attention to the sloppy man. Qian Yi leaped over and kicked the man to the ground, stomping on the man's back so hard that he couldn't move.
These people ran and fell, Lin Huiru had no interest in those young people, but his intuition told him that the man in front of him might be useful, "Are you the local snake in this area?" "Don't dare,
this One time, the villain has eyes and can't see Mount Tai, so I beg you to save my life." Just now, the man was so majestic, but now the man is in such a mess, struggling on the ground like a big bastard.
Lin Huiru chuckled, "Now you know how to beg for mercy? Tell me, why would you want to do something to Wan Jiaojiao. Don't tell me you don't know who Wan Jiaojiao is, you are from this place, can you Don't you know someone else's identity?"
After being seen through, that person was a little entangled, until Bai Qianyi used a little more strength, as if he was about to trample him to death, and let him speak.
"I said, I'm going to die. Someone asked us to do this. It started with Wan Hengtong's daughter, and then Wan Hengtong. That person seems to have a grudge against the Wan family. I don't know if it is. Who, every time he writes directly to leave money for me, this time he asked us to steal Wan Jiaojiao's purse, and when we get it, keep the letter inside, and the money will be ours." The sloppy man repeatedly Begging for mercy.
Lin Huiru was a little suspicious now, "Is there a letter in her purse?" "
We don't know about it. If the person said it was there, then it would be there. You came here before we got it, so We don't know if there is any in it." The slovenly man cried sadly.
This is interesting. There is a person who dislikes the Wan family and knows the details of the Wan family. Moreover, if some letter must be hidden in the purse, it would be extremely deceptive. Is someone going to send something to Wan Hengtong?
"There is one more thing that I am quite puzzled about. How dare you commit crimes in broad daylight and attack us? Are you really so careless, and you gave up so quickly?" Lin Huiru asked.
The sloppy man hesitated for a long time, "I... we just need to give a share of what we got to the government."
Hearing this, Xu Ziqiao's complexion became serious, "But, why does Minzhou still look at me on the surface? Is it harmonious?"
"This...mainly because the government doesn't let us make it too obvious, otherwise it will be strictly investigated, so we just have to eat enough." The sloppy man replied.
"Last question, do you know that recently a merchant ship was swapped for a batch of goods in Minzhou?" Lin Huiru said, took out the money bag from his arms, took a small piece of silver and threw it on the in front of the man.
After seeing the money, that person's eyes almost straightened, and they couldn't steal too much money on weekdays, so they cared so much about Wan Jiaojiao's heavy money bag, and hated Lin Huiru's group very much. people.
Chapter 525 Calculation
"This...you have to go to the pier, that's not my territory anymore." The scruffy man's eyes were fixed on the silver, but he didn't dare to reach out to take it.
"Okay, you take this silver. As for me, I am a jade merchant. A box of my goods was carried on that cargo ship. I don't know if it was confused and disappeared. If you know the identity of the goods Come to Jinxiu Restaurant to deliver a letter when you are down, and I promise you have other benefits. Okay, let him go." Lin Huiru made another excuse, and gave Bai Qianyi a wink after speaking.
As soon as Bai Qianyi let go of his feet, the man quickly got up with the silver and blew the ashes. Looking at Lin Huiru's flattering face, "I understand, I will send someone to inquire about this matter." For details, you can also go to the pier, I am quite familiar with Old Hei there."
Old Hei?
This name stunned Lin Huiru for a moment. If she didn't know that the other party must be a person, she would have thought that she had found a long-lost father for Xiao Hei.
"Okay, I see. If you find it, it will be of great benefit to you. A box of goods is worth more than you think." After finishing speaking, Lin Huiru turned around and left, leaving the sloppy man holding the money Gnaw and bite.
After walking all the way, Xu Ziqiao asked in confusion, "Why did you lie to him?
" I can see that I am not afraid of offending Wan Hengtong. The reason why I gave them false news is that I can't tell them that the goods belong to me, so that they will know my identity, and now I don't know who is behind them. If we do that, it will do us no good." Lin Huiru said while playing with the broken hair on her shoulders.
Xu Ziqiao also knew everything, "So you lied to them that there was a box of goods mixed in, even if they thought badly about looking for it, they would come to you after finding no jade, and wanted you to find the goods yourself to give them sweetness? "
That's right, it doesn't matter if you make up for the sweetness. The main thing is to find out the whereabouts of that batch of goods. It's hard to say what the imperial court's goods are. Isn't mine simple? There must be a connection between the two." Lin Huiru called With a snap of his fingers, he turned his head and entered the restaurant next to him.
After walking this way, she was going to be hungry.
...
"How do you make this king believe that what you said is true?" In Prince Xiang's mansion, Tang Junyi looked at Qingwu who was smiling, and frowned slightly.
"Is it true? Your Highness will find out if you go to investigate. On the surface, Xu Ziqiao was ordered by His Majesty to go to the north for inspection, but in fact, he has already arrived in Minzhou at this moment. If they find out before you This matter, I am afraid that what you are doing now will fall short by then." Qingwu was not so foolish in front of Tang Junyi, and stood with his hands behind his back, quite like a prince.
Regarding Qingwu's words, Tang Junyi still maintained a skeptical attitude. Even if Qingwu is a fat meat worthy of envy, but he is careful to sail for thousands of years. Now that he makes a wrong step, it is a wrong step, and there is no turning back. "Having said that, But my people won't arrive until one day later, I don't know what happened and the news leaked." "
Your Highness, your mistake is to send people there too ostentatiously. When Xu Ziqiao goes, it will be quiet and no one will be there. I know, but your people are probably..." Qingwu left half of his words, and only hinted at Tang Junyi with his eyes.
Tang Junyi held his breath and let out a long breath. When he looked at the past again, his eyes were a little more unsatisfied, "I didn't expect you to come out of the Proton Mansion so easily, and this kind of news that I don't even know, you don't know. How did you know? Or is this king underestimating you, the prince of another country?" "
Your Highness, don't be suspicious. Since I am going to this dragon's lake and tiger's lair alone, I must leave a way for myself, right? Now I can tell all these things. , Isn't His Highness supposed to be happy. Now that Xu Ziqiao has turned against you, why don't you deal with him first, but come to doubt your own people?" Qing Wu's brows were slightly lowered, but her tone was much lighter, displeased Both words are written on the face.
From the perspective of the situation, there is no distinction between him and Tang Junyi now, at most Tang Junyi may be slightly higher, but if Qingwu is given up, Tang Junyi's current situation will be even more unbearable.
After careful consideration, Tang Junyi let out a sigh of relief, "This matter is due to my lord's temper, so don't blame me. Even if you send someone to investigate, it's easy to say, but you reminded me. Now this king is not well-known, so he should keep a low profile." "
Actually, His Highness can take this opportunity to wipe out Xu Ziqiao, can't he?" Qingwu's lips curled into an evil smile.
"Is the proton trying to sow discord? Xu Ziqiao is a powerful minister in my court. Without him, the court will be in chaos." Although Tang Junyi also dislikes Xu Ziqiao recently, he has never considered such a risky matter. pass.
Qingwu laughed softly, "Oh, isn't that better? In the situation where there is no leader among the dragons, whoever comes out on top will be in charge of the overall situation. Now the cards are divided into three hands, and the good cards are all with Xu Ziqiao. Waiting to bore you or King Jin. In that case, why don't you just kill the person and reshuffle the cards?" There was
almost a slight pause, "Besides, this card game, whether it is cheating or not, as long as you win Is that enough?"
"Don't Proton think that this is too risky? I have to do things that I dare not do myself? What's the difference between killing Xu Ziqiao now and killing a prince. If Proton thinks it's okay If there is a problem, why do you want to be the proton, instead of directly killing the prince and replacing him?" Although Tang Junyi is eager to seek talents, he is not blind in his work, he asked in a cold voice, his eyes flickering.
When Qingwu said such words, it made him doubt whether this person was on his side.
"The ability is insufficient. The prince is the prince, the courtiers are the courtiers, the prince is the emperor's son, but the courtiers are not. Those who make big things don't care about trivial matters. Now he is far away and no one knows. He only has a guard and a woman with him. If you kill them all, and then pretend to be a robber or an enemy, the court will be flustered for a while, and His Majesty will only be unhappy for a while. After this limelight, you will still be the unique ruler. The official lowered his head. Doesn't His Highness feel aggrieved?" Qing Wu continued to add embellishments, trying to stimulate Tang Junyi's cold-blooded side.
"What good is there to sow dissension here? As long as you take down Anguo, you will have your own good. You don't need to worry about anything else. Why don't you go back first? It would be bad if someone found out. With that said, Tang Junyi stood up and made a please gesture.
Chapter 526 This is extortion
Minzhou Wharf.
Almost as soon as he got the news, Lin Huiru rushed over when he was full. It was packed in a box, and it was impossible to tell what it was for a while.
"There are so many people here, and eyes and ears are mixed. If you want to change things without anyone noticing, you should pick a time when there are few people." Xu Ziqiao frowned slightly as he looked at the strong men and coolies.
"It seems that the wharf here in Minzhou can make a lot of profits every year. It's a bit too hungry to employ people. From children to old men, they hire them all without asking?" Lin Huiru clicked lightly, Bai
Qian Yi Ze folded his arms behind his back and squinted his eyes slightly, "After all, the wages here should be settled by how many catties you carry. The foreman doesn't care how old you are, as long as you can move things without delay, you can hire them. Many places are comparable."
"You guys, what are you doing?!" The sudden sound from behind startled Lin Huiru.
Lin Huiru hurriedly turned around, "Let me go down and ask. Someone told us to come here to find a man named Old Hei. Do you know where he is?" "Looking for Old Hei...?" The man looked Lin up and down
. Huiru, Xu Ziqiao and Bai Qianyi tacitly stood in front of Lin Huiru.
"Old Hei is the beggar over there, the one in black clothes, this is the cargo port, please don't wander around." The man turned around and left.
Lin Huiru walked in front with her arms folded. Looking at the old black from a distance, she was dressed in black and looked black. She stepped forward and threw some copper plates into the broken porcelain bowl, and asked, "I want to inquire about something, someone recommended me to come to you." "
You are the ones who beat up the old dog, I heard .But I want to know, if I don't say anything, will you fight with us?" Old Hei took out the copper plate from the bowl and stuffed it into his arms, looking up and asking.
This title made the faces of the three of them black, and it was easy for these people to choose their names.
"Let's just say it first, we did it because he planned something wrong first. If you know anything, I can buy it with money." Lin Huiru said, shaking the money bag in front of Lao Hei, comparing with the news Wake up, what is this little money?
Old Hei smiled, got up from the ground, and walked into the deep alley in front, "This is not a place to talk, you are rich if you have money, come with me." After exchanging glances,
Bai Qianyi walked forward Xu Ziqiao followed Lin Huiru to protect Lin Huiru tightly. Following Lao Hei's twists and turns, we arrived at a place where beggars gather. It's unavoidable that there is a bit of a smell here in the summer. The people lying on the ground are all men with hands and feet, which is really disgusting.
"Okay, what do you want to ask?" Lao Hei found a stone and made it, and pointed to the stone on one side to signal Lin Huiru and the others to sit down.
But everyone here has a bad look, especially when they look at Lin Huiru.
Lin Huiru frowned, and grabbed Xu Ziqiao's wrist, "I'm a jade merchant. A few days ago, a ship's goods were swapped here. In addition to Mrs. Xiang's and the imperial court's goods, there was also a piece of goods I carried with me. A box of jade, I just want to find out the whereabouts of that batch of goods, money is not a problem."
"Jade? To be honest, our brothers moved that batch of goods, but then they were taken away, and the boxes were all sealed , I don't know which box is yours." Lao Hei took off his straw sandals and scratched his feet, his tone somewhat disdainful.
It's really hard to find a place to go through iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it. Lin Huiru winked at Xu Ziqiao, cleared her throat and continued to ask, "Their goods are all lost, and I suspect mine is gone too. The jade in it is worth a thousand taels. Don't know?"
"Cut, isn't it just one thousand taels? There are quite a few gold, silver and jewels in the imperial court, which are much more valuable than yours. Brothers are not rare." A man next to him mocked.
Lin Huiru rolled her eyes, and it seemed that this group of people hadn't opened those goods. It is thoughtful of the people behind the scenes to entrust this kind of thing to some refugees and beggars. After all, this is the only way to deceive people's eyes and ears, and when the time comes, it is not certain whether these beggars will be dead or alive.
"If you dare to take things from the court, aren't you afraid of beheading?" Xu Ziqiao asked in a deep voice.
"Besides, we all ate the last meal without the next meal. Compared with these, it is nothing. And the things are not what we want. If you have nothing else to do, go." The beggar on the side waved his hand and looked There is also a little disgust.
This is really ignorant.
Lin Huiru pressed Xu Ziqiao's hand again, "Natural advantage, I want to ask, what about those goods now, my goods must have been mixed in, and it's not one thousand taels, at least it's worth five thousand taels "
No matter how much, we have given those things now, and someone paid us to do them." Lao Hei yawned, and stretched out his hand to Lin Huiru, "These are not trivial matters. I'll make it cheaper for you, one hundred taels of silver."
"One hundred taels? But you didn't give me any clues, so you have the nerve to ask for this one hundred taels?" Lin Huiru raised her eyebrows, this guy is quite dark enough.
Old Hei smiled, "As for the things, they only let us pack them into two carts and send them out of the city, and we don't care about other things. If you don't give this one hundred taels, don't even think about leaving.
" As soon as they landed, several people on the ground got up and walked towards them eagerly.
"Some people have calluses on their hands. They might be Lianjiazi. Be careful." Bai Qianyi finished coping with it in a low voice, and got ready to fight.
Lin Huiru nodded, no wonder this person knew they were beaten by that old dog and dared to threaten them like this, it seems that he still has a bit of confidence.
"Aren't you afraid that we will report this matter to the officials if you are fighting with us now? After all, the imperial court is already sending people to track down the goods." Lin Huiru squinted her eyes and asked back.
Old Hei was still very disdainful, "That is the person who has to deal with the court, not you. Even if you go to report to the officials, so what, besides you few foreigners, who else can testify? This money, your money There should be enough in the bag, or leave that bracelet behind."
"Heh, I think you're ugly, but you think beautifully." Lin Huiru sneered, and now the only clue he could get was that the shipment had been shipped away, but he was dizzy and said Maybe you have to go outside the city to see it.
Just as the two sides were at war, a beggar hurried over.
Chapter 527 Cool Terrace
I don't know what that person said occasionally in Lao Hei's ear, Lao Hei's face changed, and he waved his hands gloomyly, "Forget it, let them go." Seeing
the group of people so listen to Lao Hei's words, go back and lie down. After getting off, Lin Huiru suddenly felt a little strange.
After walking out of the alley and confirming that no one was following, Xu Ziqiao said slowly, "This old black and the person before him must have a master behind them." "I don't know if
their master is there, but it must be someone who can threaten them And maybe that person has something to do with the person who planned to steal this batch of goods, this old black is also not afraid of the government, I am afraid that these people have long been in collusion with the local officials." Lin Huiru bit her lower lip, faintly Feel something is not right.
Lin Huiru regretted going out of the city. Although Minzhou is a big water transportation city, it doesn't mean that the land is burned. The Mahe outside the city is a mess of different shades, and she can't tell which one is which, and the clues are broken here for a while.
"After all, it's been a long time. There are traces of carriages everywhere here. Let's find a way to find out the news from Wan Hengtong." Xu Ziqiao sighed, and now he felt that such progress was enough, so he gently Patted Lin Huiru on the back.
However, Bai Qianyi pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Not necessarily. Although the carriage marks here are messy, there are only a few roads in the general direction. It is impossible for these people to walk around blatantly with their goods. It's a pity that they can't go to inquire about news along the way now. Otherwise, we should be able to know about it."
"Wait a minute." Suddenly, Lin Huiru's eyes lit up.
Under the suspicious gazes of Xu Ziqiao and Bai Qianyi, she went forward and squatted on the ground, picked up a piece of soil, and gently sniffed it under the tip of her nose.
"It should be this way, but I don't know if the imperial court has also gone this way. You can see some white powder on the ground. It should be that the lid of some cosmetic powder was accidentally opened and spilled out. It doesn't smell bad. Wrong." Lin Huiru took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, then squinted her eyes and looked at the weedy path in front of her.
Bai Qianyi frowned, "This road should go west. There are not many merchants there. Maybe a few of them come from the border of Minzhou every year to sell grain. When they got the things, they went to a remote place. Go somewhere, I'm afraid I'm looking for a place to hide and want to avoid the limelight." "
If that's the case, then you should ask someone to find out. After all, there are vegetable farmers who come and go every day. Although there are not many carriages on the ground, but There are still a lot of footprints. If you ask the approximate time, maybe someone will be able to see the trace of the carriage." Xu Ziqiao's eyes lit up.
"Then let's do this, Qian Yi, please try to investigate tomorrow, Xu Ziqiao and I will go to see Wan Hengtong tomorrow." Lin Huiru breathed a sigh of relief, finally having such a big The progress should be to find things as soon as possible.
Bai Qianyi nodded, "That's good, but Wan Hengtong shouldn't be a good person. The local ruffians have certain relations with the officials, but those who are related to the ruffians want to steal Wanjia's letter. I don't know what Wanjia is planning. , be careful."
At
noon the next day, Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao arrived at Qingliangtai as promised.
Wan Hengtong also just arrived, and was sitting there drinking tea, wearing clothes made of extremely expensive materials and exquisite workmanship, and the rings on his hands were basically the size of pigeon eggs. Lin Huiru identified it carefully, if it was If they are all true, then Wan Hengtong is probably a walking treasury, with things worth thousands of taels every time he goes out.
"Master, let me introduce you. This is Miss Xu who wants to buy food. Miss Xu, this is our master. Sit down with three flavors first, and I'll go get some food for the three of you." Shopkeeper Wan flatteringly introduced Finished, and then went out and closed the door.
Wan Hengtong turned around, still holding the purple sand teapot in his hand. He looked at Lin Huiru, looked him up and down, and then made a gesture of invitation, "Miss Xu, please sit down." Lin Huiru nodded
, He sat down with Xu Ziqiao, "This is my husband, surnamed Lin. Since you are here today, let's get straight to the point."
"Okay, Ms. Xu is a straightforward person. This 10,000 catties of grain is not a small amount. I wonder how Ms. Xu plans to pay for it?" Wan Hengtong opened his mouth for money as soon as he came up.
"It's easy to say, whether it is bank notes or cash, I can do it, but for this product, I have to go by land." Lin Huiru said.
Wan Hengtong raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled, "Why? We in Minzhou have always shipped goods by water, although it is not impossible, but I am afraid you have to find this person yourself.
" Now the weather in the north is still cold and there is no sun, if it is not handled well, it will be troublesome if it is all moldy, especially the new rice." Lin Huiru's shrewd look dispelled Wan Hengtong's doubts.
"What Miss Xu said is that it's actually not troublesome at this time. It's just that the business is not small, and you have to meet in person. I heard that Miss Xu's family is in the rouge cloth business? Also in the jade business?" Wan Hengtong asked.
Lin Huiru hooked the corners of her lips slightly, but she didn't expect to be hooked. She only told a few people in the field about the jade business, but now Wan Hengtong also found out, "Yes, there are many connections in the family. But the jade business is my own business. After all, this business is hugely profitable. I didn't expect Boss Wan to know a lot." "
Haha, it's just a random question. I also heard that Ms. Xu was inquiring about a batch of goods recently. This is on the border of Minzhou, and as the host, if Ms. Xu needs any help, you might as well tell me." Wan Hengtong laughed dryly to relieve the embarrassment, and put down the purple clay pot casually.
"Boss Wan is enthusiastic, so I'd rather be respectful than obedient. Boss Wan must know the reason. I originally thought Mrs. Xiang and the imperial court's ship were safe, so I made some connections and took the goods with me, but I didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to swallow the items belonging to Mrs. Xiang and the imperial court. These items may not mean much to them, but my box of jade is of high quality. This time, I also want to get the goods back." Lin Huiru said with emotion, and at the end he covered his heart and looked distressed.
Wan Hengtong nodded, "I just heard that something like this happened in Minzhou. It seems that the imperial court will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. Why doesn't Ms. Xu wait until then?"
Chapter 528: An Unspeakable Deal
"Well... let's put it this way, a friend of mine has a channel. The batch of jade is actually not very clean, and the tax has been reduced a lot. The mine is also... you know, if these things are recalled by the court, we will It would be troublesome to get it back, so I can only find it in person, and come to Minzhou to have fun." Lin Huiru made an expression that you understand, and Wan Hengtong really understood.
Now the imperial court is cracking down on private jade veins. To put it bluntly, the excavation of such things as jade veins is not difficult, but it is not easy to say. Anyone who has the ability to swallow them privately will definitely benefit a lot from it.
"So that's the case. I've actually heard about this incident. How about this, I can help Miss Xu go first, and Miss Xu can also stay in Minzhou for a few more days, and I'll send someone to help you find out about that thing How about the direction?" Wan Hengtong smiled, and there were four words in his eyes, cunning and cunning.
Hearing what she said, Lin Huiru looked happy, got up and saluted Wan Hengtong, and Xu Ziqiao also looked like a well-behaved male pet, sitting silently when entering the door, and now Lin Huiru stood up , he also stood up. Wan Hengtong didn't have much doubt about his skin and Lin Huiru's aura of wealth.
"Looking at Boss Wan's hands, you should know a little bit about jade, right? Do you like agate?" Now that the topic is over, Lin Huiru also understands that Wan Hengtong wants to get involved in this non-existent jade business, he tentatively opened his mouth.
"Miss Xu has a good eye, but this is just my personal hobby. I don't like beauty and sex, but I only like agate. These are my favorite collections. I don't know what Miss Xu thinks?" Wan Hengtong shook the agate on his hand in front of Lin Huiru's eyes, his face full of pride.
Lin Huiru smiled, "Boss Wan, these are naturally the best of agates, which perfectly matches your identity." Just after the flattery was
finished, the door was suddenly pushed open, but Lin Huiru and Wan Hengtong was taken aback.
"Daddy, why are you here? Didn't you agree to go out with me to practice horses? Hey... Mr. Lin, why are you here?" The person who opened the door and came in was Wan Jiaojiao. After she saw Xu Ziqiao I couldn't move my eyes away. I was careless when I entered the door, but now I immediately returned to the shyness of my daughter's house.
Xu Ziqiao didn't speak, but Wan Hengtong also understood this daughter, "Didn't you say this afternoon, Dad has an important business to discuss, so you go back first. If there is anything, I will talk about it when I go back. From now on, you will open the door without saying hello." The problem needs to be corrected."
After finishing speaking, Wan Hengtong looked at Lin Huiru again, "Miss Xu, I made you laugh, my daughter has been spoiled by me since she was a child."
Wan Jiaojiao pouted beside her , Only then did I realize that Lin Huiru was actually the businessman Wan Hengtong had mentioned these two days. She rolled her eyes, bit her lower lip and moved closer, "Didn't you think you were the only one drinking tea here? Dad, I was almost robbed of my purse when I was walking on the street two days ago. The young master brought it back for me."
Hearing this, Wan Hengtong nodded, "I see, in this way, we are really destined, you helped my little girl yesterday, and today we have a business deal, so we should celebrate it. , In this way, I am the host, Ms. Xu and Mr. Lin, why don't you go to the humble house and talk about it?" "
Yesterday you said you had something to do and didn't allow me to treat you. Why don't you accept it now? I and Ms. Xu should be the same age as you, maybe We can still be friends." Lin Huiru was flattered by Wan Jiaojiao's sudden change of attitude.
"Actually, another person took the things back, and he is not here today." Xu Ziqiao frowned and said in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter, another day is fine, and Miss Xu, please don't refuse." Wan Hengtong said again.
People have invited them like this, and Lin Huiru couldn't refuse, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, let's do it tomorrow. Since Boss Wan is going to accompany Miss Wan on a trip, then we don't bother, then We might as well stop here today."
"Okay, then tomorrow I'll be here at the house anytime." Wan Hengtong stood up, and after the four exchanged a salute, Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao left.
In the room, Wan Jiaojiao suddenly took Wan Hengtong's arm and said coquettishly, "Daddy, my daughter likes Mr. Lin, so please help my daughter ââ." I can see it in his eyes, but after all, he is a married man, even if you don't mind, Miss Xu may not be willing. This will be my big business, so don't mess with me." Wan Hengtong sighed With a sigh of relief, it is really hard for him to let go of his business on the one hand and the jewel in his palm on the other.
Wan Jiaojiao pouted, "Look, the two of them don't look like a pair of lovers at all, that Miss Xu is so rich, maybe she just fell in love with Mr. Lin, how about this, dad I will add fuel to the flames, and I will definitely not ruin your business, how about it?"
"You have been self-willed since you were a child, but this time I can't let you do whatever you want." Wan Hengtong frowned. It's just a big list, but what really interests him is the jade vein that Lin Huiru said. In order to avoid Lin Huiru's excitement, he can't take risks.
"No, if there is really no other way, then my daughter will give up. It's just that father has to find a way to help her daughter keep Mr. Lin, so that my daughter will have a chance." Wan Jiaojiao continued to tug on Wan Hengtong's arm. Jiao.
Facing his own daughter, Wan Hengtong had nothing to do, and if he could keep Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru under his nose, his last trace of doubt would be eliminated. "Okay, then you can't mess around, this time you are allowed, you have to be more obedient in the future."
Wan Hengtong's words undoubtedly seemed to encourage Wan Jiaojiao, she nodded and swore again and again, "Dad, don't worry Well, I will definitely not mess around, this is the first time I have a man I like, dad, you don't want me to leave regrets in this life, right.
" We're done seeing, let's go back and clean up." Wan Hengtong and Wan Jiaojiao stepped out the door with their front feet, and Bai Qianyi jumped off the beam silently with their back feet, and then jumped over the window and left.
After returning to the inn, Bai Qianyi uttered what Wan Hengtong and Wan Jiaojiao said in detail. Lin Huiru's expression was still calm, but Xu Ziqiao's complexion was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the veins on his brows were also twitching. jump.
"Calm down, don't worry, since she wants to win your favor without affecting the business between me and Wanhengtong, it's simply whimsical, and as long as I'm here, she shouldn't dare to pester you." Lin Huirufang With a light tone, he patted Xu Ziqiao's elder brother gently, as if coaxing a child.
However, Xu Ziqiao is still not very well, "No matter what, don't live in Wanjia."
Xu Ziqiao at this meeting is simply extremely cute.
Chapter 529: Banquet at the Hongmen
The next day, Wanjia.
Since getting up, Xu Ziqiao's complexion is not very good. Originally, Lin Huiru thought Xu Ziqiao was angry about getting up, but it took a while to realize that Xu Ziqiao resisted something for the first time. Yuemo really disliked Wan Jiaojiao up. This made Lin Huiru happy.
"Miss Xu, Young Master Lin, our master has been waiting for a long time." Steward Wan came up to greet him, and Wan Jiaojiao also came bouncing over from the door.
Wan Jiaojiao took Lin Huiru's hand affectionately, and put her whole body between Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru. Xu Ziqiao couldn't help frowning at this little gesture.
"Sister Xu, you are finally here. Today, Daddy invited the most famous chef in Minzhou just to entertain you." Wan Jiaojiao said softly, showing her daughter's attitude.
Lin Huiru also wondered, Wan Jiaojiao was so affectionate to her, and those who didn't know it probably thought they were a pair of sisters. However, what Wan Jiaojiao was planning, she was already clear in her heart, and today's Hongmen Banquet, they also took the initiative to jump in.
"Then thank you, Boss Wan, for your kindness." Lin Huiru followed Wan Jiaojiao into Wan's house, and on the way, she noticed that the little girl's eyes still glanced at Xu Ziqiao intentionally or unintentionally.
After seeing Wan Hengtong, Lin Huiru was still attracted by the agate on his hand at first glance. Today, Wan Hengtong is wearing a hand full of agate, and the second brother who cooperates is not a style. It seems that the rice grain business is doing well.
"Miss Xu is here, and there is something wrong with Wan. Today, please don't be restrained, Miss Xu, as if you are at your own home, and have a good taste of our Minzhou cuisine." Wan Hengtong said, and led the way to the banquet hall.
Needless to say, this time Lin Huiru was really rushing to eat. Since Wan Hengtong said that the time was up to her, she deliberately slept until the morning and didn't eat breakfast.
During the dinner, Wan Jiaojiao served her with tea, water, and vegetables. She was so attentive. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was his personal maid. Even Wan Hengtong was a little surprised that her daughter actually did this. The point is really well-intentioned.
"I've already sent someone to inquire about the whereabouts of those things. Although other things can't be of much help, my name is still of some use in the border of Minzhou, not to mention that Miss Xu, your goods were taken by mistake. Walking around, maybe they will give me back some face at that time." When the food was almost finished, Wan Hengtong put down his chopsticks and brought the topic back on track.
Lin Huiru nodded, with a polite smile on his face, "This time, I would like to thank Boss Wan. If I can get it back, I will thank you very much. As for the food, I have already brought enough banknotes today, and I can buy it as well." Deliver the goods in two batches."
"Don't worry about these, you still have to stay in Minzhou for a while, and if the goods arrive, no one will check them. Since there are no differences in the matter, it's better for Miss Xu to feel more at ease. Playing in Minzhou for a while, Jiaojiao followed me to do business when she was young, so it was nothing. Now it seems that you two are like sisters, why not let her take you around to play around, so that I can show my friendship as a landlord " Wan Hengtong's eyes were piercing, and after he and Wan Jiaojiao eased their eyes, Wan Jiaojiao also took over the conversation.
"Yeah, I think sister Xu and I hit it off right away, so it's a deal. I'm waiting for the news for a few days, and I'll be the host to invite you to play around." Wan Jiaojiao said, her eyes flickering with meaning Unknown light.
Lin Huiru could only nod his head and agree, "Okay, thank you, Boss Wan and Miss Wan,
for your kindness. " Did you buy a house in Minzhou?" Wan Hengtong asked again.
Lin Huiru frowned twice. She just came here to stay for a few days. As for buying a house, does it look like she has a lot of money? Even so, she continued following Wan Hengtong's words, "That's not true, it's just living in an inn." "Living in an inn will inevitably make you
feel uncomfortable, and even if there are people walking around, you may not be able to rest well. How about this Well, although the humble house is not very luxurious, if Ms. Xu doesn't dislike it, how about staying in the humble house? In this way, it will be more convenient for Jiaojiao to find you." Wan Hengtong, an old fox, talked for a long time, and now he can be regarded as We've come to the point.
Lin Hui subconsciously looked at Xu Ziqiao, his eyes were filled with rejection. But...
"In that case, thank you Boss Wan for your kindness. We will be bothering you in the next few days." Lin Huiru thanked Xu Ziqiao for his unreasonable behavior.
But Wan Jiaojiao is very happy, as the saying goes, the moon is the first to live near the water, and sometimes it is convenient to live close.
When Wan Hengtong sent someone to take them to rest, Xu Ziqiao held Lin Huiru's hand tightly, and said in a displeased tone, "I think that restaurant is good, why do you want to stay here? You know that I told you to refuse Yes."
"Oh, the room rate there is always not cheap. But it's not all because of this, but I think that although there are many disadvantages in Wanjia, there is one thing, it is convenient to inquire about information, and now it is tantamount to an enemy knowing us In the dark state, if anyone has close contacts with Wan Hengtong during this period, we don't need to follow them specially." Lin Huiru patted Xu Ziqiao's hand and said softly.
Even if he said that, Xu Ziqiao could only agree helplessly, after all, it was Lin Huiru's idea, "Okay, but you have to promise me not to associate with that Miss Wanjia." "Okay, I see
, I won't embarrass you. If you feel uncomfortable here, why don't you go out with Bai Qianyi to find out some other news, so that we can return to Beijing as soon as possible?" Lin Huiru raised her eyebrows and asked.
Xu Ziqiao sighed, "That's the only way to go."
The next day, as Lin Huiru said, Xu Ziqiao and Bai Qianyi went out early in the morning, leaving her to enjoy herself in the room. When it was a little later, she heard footsteps in the yard, and the man pushed the door open and showed his head, "Sister Xu, why are you alone?" "Qianyi has a friend nearby.
" The distant relatives thought that since they were here, they might as well pay a visit, so they went out in the morning, is there anything wrong with Miss Wan?" Lin Huiru had already developed a face that could not be changed by lying, and she finished speaking After that, she poured Wan Jiaojiao a cup of tea.
The disappointment in Wan Jiaojiao's eyes was well concealed, she walked in and sat down, "That's just right, sister Xu and I are both women, it's uneasy to go out to play wild together, sister Xu might as well go out with me for a walk today ."
Chapter 530 Women Are Merry
Having said that, Lin Huiru suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. After all, Wan Jiaojiao's target should be Xu Ziqiao. It was really strange that she suddenly insisted on pulling her out, "Miss Wan met her when she went out the other day. Thief, it's probably not safe to go out in Minzhou recently, if Miss Wan goes out like this, Master Wan can rest assured?" "I ran out
secretly that day, this time I went out in a fair manner, and I can bring a few guards with me, sister Xu IE Don't worry. Let's go out for a walk, we're going to suffocate to death at home." Wan Jiaojiao took her arm again and acted coquettishly.
"Okay." Lin Huiru agreed, and also wanted to see what tricks Wan Jiaojiao could come up with.
Not far from Wanjia's door, Lin Huiru was still paying attention to the surrounding situation, and didn't feel that anyone was following her. Besides, he is still dealing with Wan Hengtong again, Wan Jiaojiao should not be so stupid as to do anything to him.
But this insisted on pulling her out to play...
After getting in the carriage, she walked for a long time, and even passed straight through the downtown area. When the carriage was passing through the streets and alleys, Lin Huiru frowned and asked her doubts, "Wanna?" Miss, where are you going?"
"Sister Xu, please don't worry, you will be there in a while, I promise you will like it there." Wan Jiaojiao pretended to be mysterious and blinked at Lin Huiru, There was no malice in the tone.
Finally, the carriage finally stopped in a remote alley, Wan Jiaojiao pulled Lin Hui out of the carriage, and in front of them was just a mediocre jewelry shop.
"You brought me here because you want me to buy jewelry with you?" Lin Huiru was puzzled.
Wan Jiaojiao shook her head, then dragged Lin Huiru into the room with big strides, the shopkeeper here was a woman, and after seeing her kindness, the youngest one was called Canlan, "So it's Miss Wanjia, who is this? "
This is my friend, surnamed Xu, I asked you to keep those few for me, but did you keep them for me?" After Wan Jiaojiao casually introduced, she took out the money bag from her waist and threw it to Miss the proprietress.
The proprietress weighed the weight of the purse, and immediately smiled brighter. The wrinkles on her face were squeezed together, and she hurriedly led the two of them to the backyard, "Let's keep them, Miss Wan, you picked them yourself. I have to say, Miss, you have a really good eye, and those few are our top brands."
Hearing this, Lin Huiru's face suddenly turned green. Did she hear correctly? This is a jewelry shop, what's the headline? Isn't that the name of a brothel? "Well, did I hear you right?"
Seeing Lin Huiru's dazed look, the proprietress just smiled, and then pushed open the door of a wing room at the back, "It's all here, Miss Xu, don't be surprised. Word-of-mouth is good."
A jewelry store is both the top brand and word-of-mouth, and Lin Huiru's bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and even her brows twitched a few times. After she was pulled into the room by Wan Jiaojiao, the proprietress closed the door from the outside.
Lin Huiru was stunned again by the scene in front of her...
There is no jewelry shop here, it is a male prostitute who uses the jewelry shop as a cover! ! No! She can't be sorry to Xu Ziqiao!
There were four beautiful men sitting in this room, one of them was carved from jade with a skin that could be broken by bullets, and he was wearing light yellow clothes. He looked like a young man with thin skin and tender flesh. One was dressed in black, with a stern face, sharp brows, and a menacing look. Another one was wearing a red dress, with a big cloak covering his chest, revealing a well-proportioned abdomen, with a wild and evil smile on his face.
The last... er, a blind man? Wearing white clothes, the clouds are calm and the wind is light, and a white cloth is covered over the eyes.
Lin Huiru's head was full of question marks. She tugged at Wan Jiaojiao's sleeves, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her voice, "Which song are you singing?" "I don't know what to
call this beauty. Since she is here, This is the best Biluochun, but it is specially prepared for you beauty, we all have been waiting here for a long time." The man in red came over affectionately and took Lin Huiru's hand, He directly pulled her and Wan Jiaojiao over together.
Wan Jiaojiao had a wretched smile on her face, "Sister Xu, don't you think that the boys here are all born very well?"
"Is the girl dissatisfied with our looks? If so, I don't know if the figure can catch the girl's eyes?" The man in black who looked extremely cold was sitting opposite Lin Huiru. He took off his shirt at the slightest disagreement. From the perfect abdominal muscles to the smooth mermaid line, people couldn't take their eyes off.
Emotions are still boring.
Lin Huiru shivered and rubbed the goose bumps on his arms, "No, big brother, let's talk about something, put your clothes on first, don't catch a cold." "What is that? The four of
us The top card here is proficient in all kinds of unique skills, no matter what you order, beauty, we are extremely good at it, today we are all your people, beauty, you don't have to be polite." The man in red came closer, his enchanting peach eyes really People can't help but sink.
Although the four in front of me are all beautiful, Lin Huiru is still as stable as Mount Tai, and even escaped like a slippery loach and sat next to the relatively calm and calm man in white, "No, you all calm down, I will talk to others first "
"Miss Wan, you are..." Lin Huiru turned her head with a bitter face, and Wan Jiaojiao was now stripping her concubine and laughing happily.
"Oh, men are so feminine and women are so masculine. What street scene can compare to this place? Elder sister Xu, I've already given you the money. You can play as you please, it's the friendship of my landlord." Wan Jiaojiao With a wicked smile on his face, it seemed that he had prepared it long ago, and he couldn't blame the four of them for only pestering Lin Huiru.
Lin Huiru only felt a little chest tightness and shortness of breath, and the next moment there was an osmanthus cake on her lips. The boy in yellow came over at some point, staring at her with watery eyes, "I can't tell, my sister actually likes him, good-looking sisters have unique tastes." , Some baby fat faces are still full of disappointment.
"No...what do you call him?" Lin Huiru chewed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake stiffly a few times, and he understood that Wan Jiaojiao probably misunderstood her. Perhaps, she thought she was a woman who lusted after men.
As soon as the words fell, the man in white took off the white gauze from his eyes, and also pulled off his clothes, revealing his red-stained chest, but his face was still calm, "Miss, don't take pity on me, You can ravage me any way you want."
