The carriage stopped in front of Fang's house. Liu Huanqing got out of the carriage holding her white cat and looked up at Fang Jin's door to Shi's house.
Fang Jinshi said: "How is this place compared to Yanzhou Prefecture?"
Liu Huanqing said: "It's not bad, it's a little older than the one in Yanzhou Mansion."
Fang Jinshi didn't explain anything and led the sisters into the mansion. Liu Huanqing stood in the courtyard and looked at the girls coming and going. These were the ten girls sent by King Yun Zhao Kai a few days ago. She turned to Fang Jinshi and said: "Fourth brother-in-law, how many rooms do you already have?"
Fang Jinshi was stunned for a moment and said, "What?"
Liu Huanqing said seriously: "Including my fourth sister, how many wives and concubines do you have now?"
Fang Jinshi didn't expect her to ask such a direct question, and didn't want to answer her question. He turned to Liang Cuirong and said, "It's almost dinner time. Take her to have a rest first and find a room."
Liang Cuirong was helpless towards her little sister. She walked up and took her hand and said, "Come on, let's go see the room."
Liu Huanqing said to Fang Jinshi, "You don't even dare to answer me this. Sure enough..." She didn't say any more, and Fang Jinshi couldn't help but ask, "Sure enough, what?"
Liu Huanqing said: "My scholar said that you are very wise but not brave, and you dare to do something but dare not take it seriously. I think this is indeed the case."
Fang Jinshi looked at the twelve-year-old girl in front of him, and Liu Huanqing also looked directly at him and said, "Did I say something wrong?"
Fang Jinshi smiled awkwardly and said repeatedly: "That's right, that's right."
He had already experienced the power of his sister-in-law when he was in Yunnei Prefecture and Yanzhou City. At this time, he could only laugh. Liang Cuirong walked over and took Liu Huanqing's hand and walked inside: "How can you talk like this? He has always been bold and courageous.”
Liu Huanqing pulled her along and said, "I'm here to avenge you..." The voice faded away, and the two of them turned around the corner and disappeared. Fang Jinshi smiled bitterly, walked outside the door and got on the carriage again, and said to Wei Chong: " Let’s go to Prince Yun’s Mansion.”
Wei Chong did not ask him what he was going for, and drove his carriage to the residence of King Yun Zhao Kai. After passing the news, Fang Jinshi met King Yun Zhao Kai in the Warm Pavilion.
As soon as Zhao Kai saw him, he asked him to sit down and immediately said, "I have something to talk to you about."
Fang Jinshi saluted and said, "What do you want from me, third brother?"
Zhao Kai said: "What else can be done? Of course it is about going to Jiangnan. I was always busy with other things some time ago, so I missed it. Cai's consort brought it up again today and asked when the tea from the Kingdom of Jin would start shipping. "
Fang Jinshi said: "It is winter at this time, and the tea leaves harvested in Jiangnan are also old tea. We are not busy harvesting tea leaves at this time. When the Qingming Festival, new tea starts to be picked, and we can start preparing to harvest tea."
Zhao Kai said: "Jurchens think it is a luxury to drink tea if they have it. They don't care about new tea or old tea. In the wilderness, do they distribute fresh tea and new tea? You just go and collect it, no matter how old or old it is." , as long as it is tea, all will be shipped to the Kingdom of Jin."
When Fang Jinshi heard what Zhao Kai said, he could only say: "That's fine."
Zhao Kai stared at him and said, "Then when will you leave?"
Fang Jinshi wondered: "The New Year is approaching..."
Zhao Kai laughed and said: "Of course I won't be so inconsiderate of you and let you go to Jiangnan to celebrate the New Year. But as soon as the New Year is over, you have to leave for me on the fifth day of the lunar month at the latest."
Fang Jinshi lowered his head and said nothing, neither agreeing nor rejecting. Zhao Kai said, "Are you in any trouble?"
Fang Jinshi said: "To be honest with Third Brother, I had a military post when I was in Shaanxi, and now I have been transferred to Bianliang City."
Zhao Kai said "Oh" and asked: "What military position is it?"
Fang Jinshi said: "I was a martial arts master before, but now I am a martial arts doctor." Zhao Kai nodded and said: "No wonder you don't want to go to Jiangnan for me, you are already the seventh rank in the army."
Fang Jinshi hurriedly explained: "Third brother, please don't misunderstand. We will leave for Jiangnan before the fifth day of the next lunar month."
Zhao Kai said: "You run errands for me, why should I give you a favor? I don't want to be a martial arts doctor." After hearing what he said, Fang Jinshi calmed down and said to Zhao Kai: "Thank you very much." Brother."
Zhao Kai said: "The people of the Jin Kingdom purchased a large amount of tea, silk, porcelain, etc. from our court. Cai Consort felt that the previous capital was too little and wanted to do more. He sent a confidant named Cai Meng who had already gone to Jiangnan in advance. He bought silk and porcelain, you bought tea, and they were shipped together to the Kingdom of Jin."
Fang Jinshi said: "If it is difficult to decide the matter at the moment, Cai Meng and I have different opinions. Who should take the lead?"
Zhao Kai said: "If we can't discuss it, just write a letter and report it immediately. But don't report it if it's too small. I can trust you."
When Fang Jinshi heard what he said, he gave himself the right to act expediently, and he was very happy. King Yun had already said so, and he thought that the benefits in the future would definitely not be less than those of a seventh-grade doctor Wu Jie. With the power of King Yun, a seventh-grade doctor It is too small to be considered a military official.
Fang Jinshi came out of Prince Yun's Mansion happily, thinking that he would go to the south of the Yangtze River after the New Year. He should say hello to Shi Quan first, and then came to Shi Quan's Jinxian Village.
Jinxianzhuang was busy at this time. During the Chinese New Year, of course the people wanted to buy new clothes. After listening to Fang Jinshi's words, Shi Quan frowned and said, "Why don't you do a good military job, but think about doing business?" ?”
Fang Jinshi said: "King Yun and Prince Consort Cai are powerful and have a bright future. Besides, the amount of capital this time is very large. How many times can we encounter such a big deal in our life? Brother, I really want to give it a try."
Shi Quan listened and thought for a while before saying, "Brother, you have already started a family. It's up to you to decide what you want to do. I just feel sorry for the seventh-grade military position."
Fang Jinshi stepped forward, put his arm around Shi Quan's shoulders and said affectionately: "I also know that eldest brother is doing it for my own good. Imagine that I have millions of dollars at my disposal. How heroic I am. It's no better than that little seventh-grade military attache." Did you enjoy it?"
Shi Quan said: "Then you have to be extremely cautious and don't make any mistakes. Now I'm just worried that you are still inexperienced."
Fang Jinshi said: "Brother, please worry too much. The buyer and seller of this order has been identified, and the money is paid first and then the goods are delivered. The price is determined by us. If you lose everything, wouldn't you be a fool?" He made up his mind. He added: "Even if God asks us to lose money, the ones who lose money are Prince Yun and Prince Consort Cai. What are we afraid of? They can't afford the loss."
Of course Shi Quan understood this and said, "Then you should be more careful. At least you can learn a little about the world and it would be good to make more friends."
Fang Jinshi promised repeatedly, and before leaving, he said: "I will go to Jiangnan after the Chinese New Year. My eldest brother will find a few capable old guys from Jinxianzhuang who are good at business and let me take them to Jiangnan. Is it possible?"
Shi Quan pondered for a moment, then nodded immediately and said: "It's okay, find some experienced people to give you advice, and make fewer mistakes."
Fang Jinshi just left Jinxianzhuang, and the matter was basically settled. Fang Jinshi thought that although Bianliang City was good, he couldn't stay for a long time. He had to go to Jiangnan as soon as possible to make plans.
Suddenly he remembered that Liu Huanqing was actually right when he said that he was "very wise but not brave, and he dares to do things but dare not act". He was indeed not a person with great ambitions, and it was always his nature to pursue pleasure.
After returning home, Fang Jinshi told Liang Cuirong first. After hearing this, she said a little displeasedly: "We live well in Bianliang City, why do we want to move south to Huaidong?"
Fang Jinshi said: "It's good now, but it won't be good after a while. Jiangnan is also a prosperous place, and it is my hometown. Of course, I will return to my roots and return to my hometown."
Liang Cuirong glanced at him and said: "How old are you, and you still want to retire and return to your hometown? Just after your home in Yanzhou City settled down, you came to Bianliang. You just lived in Bianliang for a few months, and you wanted to go south again. Moved."
Fang Jinshi said: "I was just about to say that I should find time to go to Yanzhou Prefecture and sell it. The south of the Yangtze River is good, and the scenery is familiar to me. When the sun rises, the flowers on the river are as red as the fire, and when spring comes, the river is as green as blue. It can Don’t you remember Jiangnan?”
He suddenly recited a poem by Bai Juyi in an elegant manner. Liang Cuirong had never heard him recite a poem before, and was immediately amused. She smiled and said: "It's rare, it's rare. Lang Jun didn't read the book in vain a few days ago, but he actually read it in vain." Lotte’s poem.”
Fang Jinshi also smiled and said: "Actually, I know a lot. In late spring in March, grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River, flowers bloom on various trees, and flocks of orioles fly around. Such scenes do not exist in Bianliang, Tokyo. There are still three months until March. Wouldn’t it be nice if I took you to the south of the Yangtze River to see the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, the Hanshan Temple in Suzhou, and countless other beautiful scenery?”
Liang Cuirong sighed softly and said: "Actually, it's not you who has the final say where you want to move? We women can only follow, marry the chicken and the dog, and marry the chicken and the dog."
Fang Jinshi hugged her waist and laughed and cursed: "You dare to call me a dog or a chicken, let's see how I deal with you." As he went to kiss her and touch her, Liang Cuirong twisted her waist to hide and cursed with a smile: "You're going to die, don't do it. Let that little devil see it."
The little devil she was talking about was of course Liu Huanqing. Although Fang Jinshi doted on Yun Nuer, he never neglected Liang Cuirong, and sometimes would deliberately try to please her.
The New Year is here. In addition to celebrating the New Year, the Fang family is also preparing for Fang Jinshi's arrival in Jiangnan on the fifth day of the first lunar month of the coming year. Fang Jinshi deposits the two boxes of gold brought by Gao Chong in Shi Quan's store and asks him to keep them on his behalf.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, under the arrangement of Liang Cuirong, they worshiped their ancestors. The servants rewarded them with some money and asked them to go home. Fang Jinshi had already stated that he would go to Jiangnan after the New Year. Those gifts given by Prince Yun If the women were unwilling to go, Fang Jinshi immediately sent them home. As a result, only two women were willing to go to Jiangnan, and the others wanted to stay in Bianliang City.
Fang Jinshi sighed secretly and fulfilled their wish. When they went to Yun Nuer's room at night, and the two chatted, Yun Nuer said softly: "You are going to Jiangnan. When will you come back?"
Fang Jinshi said: "We'll tell you how things go when we see it. I'll take you there first, and then let them go after they've settled down."
Yun Nuer was stunned and said: "Take me alone?"
Fang Jinshi said: "Of course, didn't I promise you before? Aren't you willing?"
Yun Nuer hurriedly said: "How could it be possible? Is the young lady unhappy?"
Fang Jinshi said: "Because she is indispensable at home in Bianliang City, I can't take her there. I see that you have been in a bad mood, so I took you to Jiangnan to relax and see the scenery of Jiangnan."
Yun Nuer said: "As long as I follow you, I won't be in a bad mood no matter where I am in the world."
