Huang Jinmian frowned and said: "When you are a merchant, you should do business properly and mind other noisy things. The more you do, the more likely you will make mistakes. Sometimes you offend people without even knowing it. You are afraid that something like this will happen again in the future. What will happen?" Danger."
Fang Jinshi said: "This is also a business. You don't understand. Profit comes from fire. If I want to gain a foothold in front of Brother Zhao, I have to make him feel that he can't live without me. If someone else can easily take my place, Then my position will be in danger."
Huang Jinmian said: "If you don't want this position, you don't want it. What's so great about it? How can I feel that just doing a business is more difficult than marching in Shaanxi to fight, and it also feels laborious and laborious."
Fang Jinshi said: "It's not easy to do well in any profession. Forget it if you don't like to interfere with business matters. In the past two days, you can take the women at home to Jinxian Village to choose some fabrics and clothes, and you have to do the same yourself. Choose some, because Jinxianzhuang will be sold to someone else soon."
Huang Jinmian said displeasedly: "Why let me take it with you? I won't."
Fang Jinshi chuckled and said, "Because you are the hostess, you are the master, and everyone else is a guest. It is only the master who brings the guests."
Huang Jinmian said: "I am not the mistress, Liang is."
Fang Jinshi said: "She is, and so are you. Apart from you and her, who have you seen me let worship the tablets of my Fang family ancestors?"
After a moment, Huang Jinmian said, "Miss Qiao, do you want to choose too?"
Fang Jinshi said: "She can't go by herself, so just choose some clothes for her. Her clothes are all old."
Huang Jinmian could only say: "Okay."
Fang Jinshi saw that she was not satisfied, so he took her hand and said, "You should be wiser. Don't forget, you are the little princess of a prestigious company all over the world."
Huang Jinmian finally smiled and said, "That's amazing."
Fang Jinshi also smiled and said: "Of course it's amazing, come here and help me write two letters." He pulled Huang Jinmian to the desk, sat down on her shoulders, and spread the paper for her. Huang Jinmian picked up the brush and looked back. She looked at him and said, "What to write?"
Fang Jinshi said: "Write a letter for me to Prince Li Ka'an, asking him to load all the oil on the ship and transport it when he comes back to Persia. As much as he can transport, the more the better."
Huang Jinmian asked strangely: "How do you know there is oil in Persia?"
Fang Jinshi said: "Even if Persia doesn't have it, Li Ka'an will always find it for me in the Persian Gulf. I believe in his ability."
Huang Jinmian said: "If it doesn't exist at all, where did you ask him to conjure it up for you? The book never said that there is fierce fire oil in other places."
Fang Jinshi chuckled and said, "My words are more useful than books, just write them."
Although Huang Jinmian didn't believe it, he still wrote such a letter for him. Fang Jinshi was very satisfied after reading it, stamped it with his own seal, and received it in his arms to be sent to Li Ka'an's house tomorrow.
Huang Jinmian spread out the paper and said, "Who do you want to write the second letter to?"
Fang Jinshi said: "Write a letter of divorce for me."
Huang Jinmian was startled and said, "What?"
Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "It's not like I'm going to divorce you. What are you afraid of?"
Huang Jinmian said: "Are you willing to divorce me?"
Fang Jinshi lowered his waist, hugged her from behind, kissed her and said, "Of course I can't bear to leave. Needless to say, Baozhu is still my concubine in name only. I have to divorce her in order to make things perfect for her and Li Bao."
Huang Jinmian asked again: "Are you willing to give it up?"
Fang Jinshi said: "Of course I'm willing to give up. It's what we promised a long time ago."
Huang Jinmian held the pen and was about to write, then put it down and said: "It is better for you to write this divorce letter yourself. How can there be any reason in the world for a concubine to write a divorce letter to divorce another concubine?"
Fang Jinshi said: "I don't know how to write this. After you write it, I can just copy it."
Huang Jinmian sighed deeply and said: "If you don't want her anymore, just drive her out. She is a concubine, not your wife. She is not worthy of your wife's release letter. The same goes for me. It depends on your mood any day." No. Only Mrs. Liang, you need to write a letter of release to her, none of us are worthy."
Fang Jinshi said strangely: "Is that so? I thought I had to write some kind of paperwork. Don't think too much. It's the same when I treat you as a concubine."
Huang Jinmian said: "This...isn't this the custom of the world? Don't you know?"
Fang Jinshi pretended to be an idiot and said: "My parents have been away for a long time, and no one has told me, forget it, just write a simple voucher document to express what I mean. I have to give her a document so that she can feel at ease." Walk out of here with integrity."
Huang Jinmian thought for a while, and finally wrote a "concubine release letter" for him. Fang Jinshi sat down and copied it, and stamped it with a seal to make it official.
Huang Jinmian stood behind him and watched him write, and said slowly: "When you were writing, why did you have a moment of space in between?"
Fang Jinshi naturally didn't want to tell her that this was actually because he had omitted punctuation marks. In order to facilitate the sentence segmentation, he pretended not to care and said, "This is my original secret method to prevent others from forging my letters."
Huang Jinmian curled his lips and said: "It is not easy for others to forge such ugly words. In fact, to be honest, sometimes I feel that there is something about you that is different from everyone else."
Fang Jinshi asked: "Where, do I have extra eyes and nose?"
Huang Jinmian ignored his words that deliberately changed the subject, and continued: "For example, there are some things that everyone knows and you should know too, but you say you don't know, and you seem to be very proficient in things that no one else has heard of. "
Fang Jinshi said proudly: "I have always been a knowledgeable person, but I had a fever when I was a child, which burned out my brain. I can't remember some common things. I'm just smart and like to be new and different."
Huang Jinmian sighed: "Yes, you are different, especially women. They will be attracted to you within a short time of staying with you. You are like a magnet, making women unable to be themselves. You can coax women, talk and do things." It always hits the most comfortable place in a woman’s heart, so you have more and more women.”
Fang Jinshi laughed and said, "Have you been like this before?"
Huang Jinmian said: "It's true when you think about it. I never thought that one day I would be someone else's concubine."
Fang Jinshi didn't want to talk to her too much about this, so he stretched out his hand and pinched her face with a smile. He put it away and picked up the manuscript written on gold cotton and said, "Keep this too. You'll need it someday if you disobey."
Huang Jinmian said: "You..."
Fang Jinshi didn't wait for her to finish speaking, held her waist and whispered softly in her ear: "Go to the bed and wait for me. I'll be back soon."
He laughed loudly and came out of the room and went to the yard where Baozhu lived. Baozhu was in the room and welcomed him into the house. The two exchanged a few words casually. Fang Jinshi said: " What book are you reading?”
Baozhu said: "Some sages have written books and taught some principles on caring for husbands and raising children."
Fang Jinshi said: "Li Bao will be very happy to know that you are learning this."
Baozhu said "hmm" for a long time and stopped talking. Fang Jinshi took a peek at her expression, and then said: "Li Bao told me today that he will leave Pingjiang Mansion in the next two days and may never come back again. He still has Let me not tell you."
Baozhu's expression changed and said: "He...where is he going?"
Fang Jinshi said: "If you are willing to follow him back, he will go back to Shandong Chengshi. If you are not willing, he will go to sea. Then you may never see him again in this life."
Baozhu sighed softly and sat silently for a long time. Fang Jinshi couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?"
Bao Zhu shook his head and said, "I don't know." He paused and continued, "I really don't know."
Fang Jinshi stood up, unfolded the letter of divorce, and pressed it on the table in front of her: "I wrote a letter to you. You take it as a voucher and follow Li Bao back to Shandong."
He took the orb and looked at it carefully, then asked: "Did you write this?"
Fang Jinshi felt a little guilty and said, "Yes, is there anything wrong?"
Baozhu said: "Even you don't want me anymore..." After saying that, he rolled up the paper and threw it on the table.
Fang Jinshi said: "It's not that I don't want you, it's that I have promised to fulfill you. A person must always have credibility. Li Bao has suffered so much just because he wants to keep you by his side and rely on his own temporary happiness to make him happy." I can’t do such a thing if others suffer forever.”
Baozhu said: "He already has a Persian princess, and he asked you not to tell me yet. At this time, it's not about whether I am willing or not, but...but..." She finally couldn't say any more, Fang Jinshi said: "This is all your guess. Did Li Bao tell you personally? He said this, but in fact he still hopes that I can tell you. I want to see your attitude. If you don't believe me, you can ask him personally. If he insists on following Princess Selenka back to Persia, then you will come back, this is still your home, if you don’t verify some things yourself, you will never have an answer, and you will always feel unwilling."
Baozhu was speechless for a long time, then Fang Jinshi said again: "Think about it for yourself." After saying that, he walked out of Baozhu's residence. He wanted to go back, but after thinking about it again, he thought he should go see Qiao Ling'er.
The yard he rented was not too big, and it was far from the house in Bianliang, Tokyo. After Baozhu moved in, there was no big room for Qiao Ling'er to live in. There was a small room next to the kitchen, which was tidied up for her temporarily. live.
When Fang Jinshi walked to the kitchen corridor, the room was lit with lights. Looking in through the raised small window, Qiao Ling'er was sitting at the table. There was a basket on the table and she was eating.
Fang Jinshi approached the small Xuan window, smiled and asked through the window: "What are you eating?"
Qiao Ling'er suddenly heard him talking, turned around and saw him and quickly put down what she was eating. Fang Jinshi came around the door and saw Qiao Ling'er hurriedly packing the cage and putting it under the table.
