At dawn the next day, Sun Houpu and Shitou went upstairs to look for Liang Chuan.
Shen Yuzhen had already gotten up and washed herself, wearing a young woman's bun, symbolizing her change in status. Shitou may not have noticed the change, but Sun Houpu understood it immediately and politely called sister-in-law.
Shitou then responded and called her sister-in-law.
It's not surprising that Shitou told the truth. His cousin Zheng Ruoying was devoted to Liang Chuan. It was precisely because of his cousin that Liang Chuan came to Beijing and why he was later sent to the northwest.
However, most of these sisters-in-law were acquainted with Liang Chuan when he was still in Xinghua. They all started from humble beginnings, but they managed to stick with them all the way, which can be regarded as true love.
Shen Yuzhen's pretty face turned red and she went to the fourth floor for a beauty treatment. Yesterday's battle was too exhausting, so she needed a massage - one massage at a time to restore her energy.
Liang Chuan got dressed and came out. He had prepared snacks, and the three of them sat down together.
"Where is your father now?"
Liang Chuan asked Shitou that Zheng Zuliang was considered a talent. He ran to Xixia without saying a word, followed Zhang Yuan and helped Li Yuanhao build a big empire. It was only because of Liang Chuan's inspiration that he lost his way and turned against him, which was a pity for his talent.
"He returned to Xinghua to retire. His trip to the northwest consumed all his energy, and his hair has turned mostly gray. My sister still hasn't been found, and he has no time to worry about it anymore. Since we were in the northwest, After we said goodbye, he had no intention of leaving home."
"It's a good thing to escape unscathed! It's better than that Zhang Yuan. It is said that his fate in Xixia was not good. Later, Li Yuanhao became suspicious of him, and the nobles in Xixia retaliated crazily. If he stays here... ugh!"
Who can accept people who are not from my race?
Besides, politics is not as good as business. Everything depends on strength. Zheng Zuliang has only Li Yuanhao as his backer. How many more days can he continue to struggle after Li Yuanhao dies? Zheng Zuliang also imagined that he could do great things in Xixia, and then he could restore his original name. However, Li Yuanhao's character was to cross rivers, demolish bridges, unload mills and kill donkeys. How could he tolerate these Han people controlling his world?
Liang Chuan brought him back, this was still the best outcome.
"Yes, this is what I told my dad. My dad has a clear heart and has long seen that Li Yuanhao is just a tyrant. It will be difficult to reach the next level! Since I ran to the northwest, I I made a lot of money on this trip, and my father also said that I have grown up and he can finally relax by letting me go freely."
Sun Houpu and Shitou each talked to Liang Chuan about their generous windfall in the northwest. Sun Hopu was in the tea business, a businessman who smuggled the leaves, and smuggled some private goods to the Xixia people, so as not to have any impact on Liang Chuan. Shitou was buying grain. Several grain gangs in the northwest were wiped out by Liang Chuan, so his grain naturally became a hot commodity.
"That's right. I just want to borrow some money from you. I don't have the money to repair my village right now. If you have some money, lend me some. I'll pay you back when Yi Niang sends the money!"
"Hey, Third Brother, we have very little wealth now, so why don't we just borrow as much as we want? To be honest, you made this money with us in the first place. If we have money, we can all spend it together!" Shitou said excitedly. Talk to Liang Chuan.
Sun Houpu stood up and said: "When I started my own business from our Sun family, I was worried that I would discredit my ancestors. Now it seems that I came out too late. In the past, we only did the business of the Liao family. Immediately after we came down, the number of tea drinkers was reduced. In addition, there were many competitors. Our Sun family was just making ends meet. Now there is Dali in the south, Tubo in the west, and even Xixia now. All the business is in my hands. Controlled.”
Sun Hopu continued with high spirits: "Although I only live in the Forbidden City now, the money I have on hand has reached tens of millions, which will be more than enough for at least several generations. Third brother, do you think this money comes too easily? "
Tens of millions of dollars, the profit from smuggling tea is really amazing, but the Sun Houpu family grows tea, and they have this resource. The only difference is an opportunity, and then they become prosperous!
Liang Chuan said: "It is easy to conquer the world but difficult to defend it. You are still alone and naked. This is not an option. No matter how much money you make, who will you leave it to?"
Sun Houpu said: "I'm worried too, but what can I do if I don't meet the right person?" When I first fell in love with Zheng Ruoying, I didn't know that she had already been secretly interested in Liangchuan. Now I am busy doing business, so I have no time. Find someone.
Liang Chuan said: "Your business also needs to change. Just relying on smuggling is not a long-term solution. You have to turn black money into white money. We have to do a legal business!"
Shitou said happily: "What I've been waiting for is what your third brother said. If you have more ideas, we'll pay to do it with you!"
"Stop talking nonsense and send me the money to Liangjiazhuang quickly. You guys are still waiting to buy rice to cook!"
"Okay!" Shitou immediately obeyed Liang Chuan's instructions. Liang Chuan asked Sun Houpu, "What about Xu Yang, oh no, it's Liu Sanbian who came to our restaurant to do something. I think this guy is very annoying!"
Sun Houpu didn't like Liu Sanbian either. He only regarded him as a very talented scholar. He didn't expect that Liang Chuan had such a deep grudge with him. It was the first time he heard Liang Chuan say that someone directly scolded him.
"This Liu Sanbian also came to Bianjing City when you were away. It is said that he failed in the exam and failed. Later, he never thought about going back. He hung out in the fireworks and willow alleys every day, writing lyrics and music for the girls from the brothels. Yes, the more I write, the more famous I become, and now I come to our Forbidden City to watch plays from time to time, and I even talk about writing lyrics for the girls in our theater troupe."
Liang Chuan asked: "I remember our theater tickets are not cheap. Is this kid rich enough to go to the theater?"
"To be honest, this guy came here with some official from the Ministry of Etiquette for the first time. He didn't seem to have any money, so who knew he bumped into Shen... Sister-in-law, he found me later. If I didn't let him When I came to see the show, I spread the word about my sister-in-law’s past prostitution in a brothel in Xinghua..."
"What!" Liang Chuan's blood pressure went up as soon as he heard this. It's true that a dog can't change its habit of eating shit. This kid was not a thing before and now he still has that kind of virtue! Bullies have come to Bianjing City, and Liang Chuan is thinking about how to deal with this kid.
Trying to deal with Xu Yang now was like trampling an ant to death. He didn't want to dirty his hands. This kid dared to trick him. He didn't want to mention Shen Yuzhen's life experience, but when it came to his mouth, he actually brought it up. Come to blackmail Yuzhen!
"So you let him watch the overlord show, right? Don't you dare to offend him?"
Sun Houpu was also an honest man, and he gave a wry smile as acquiescence to this matter.
"You don't have to worry about this matter. Don't let him have contact with the girls in our troupe. This guy is not a good person. He only has a sweet mouth to coax little girls. If he comes again in the future, you will blast him." Come on, tell him that if he dares to say anything wrong about Yuzhen, let him die in the wild with no one to collect his body!"
Liang Chuan has an extra tattoo on his face and a bit more murderous intent. Now no one thinks he is joking when he says this.
When Shen Yuzhen came back from taking care of herself, she was at a loss when she saw Liang Chuan with an angry face: "Who made you angry?"
Liang Chuan didn't want Yuzhen to recall the unbearable memories of the past: "No, are you going to go back to Xinghua now or wait for me here? I also want to go back, but I'm afraid I won't be able to go back for a while!"
Shen Yuzhen said: "It's good for me to be here. Once you come back, I won't go to the stage to sing. I'll just wait for you to come back!"
"Okay, it's safer here than outside. I don't worry about putting you here. You must not leave the Forbidden City without my arrangements in the future, you know?"
Liang Chuan changed the subject and asked Sun Houpu: "There used to be a very famous girl in Bianjing City. Her name was Lu Yi. Do you know her?"
Ever since Liang Chuan truly accepted Shen Yuzhen, there was one person who he could not forget in his mind, that is, Lu Yi, who he first met in Fengshan, accompanied by the music of the piano, and begged as a performer with his father. The two people's life experiences were so similar. .
His fate with Lu Yi is quite close. Returning to Bianjing this time, redeeming Lu Yi's body and taking her out of the sea of suffering can be regarded as a good deed.
Good things come in pairs. Now that he has taken away Shen Yuzhen, he is not afraid of getting Lu Yi!
Sun Houpu said: "How can I not know you? The young master of the Yang family came back before you and took up a military position in the Forbidden Army. Because of this Miss Lu, he quarreled with his father Yang Chongxun again. Old Yang refused to let such a singing girl live in his family. , How many ladies in Bianjing City are coveting the talents of their son Yang Qi, but this kid let the fox bewitched his mind and wanted to marry the singer, and now he has become an interesting thing among the nobles in the capital."
"Miss Lu, how about we win her over?"
"With Miss Lu's reputation, coming to our Forbidden City is the icing on the cake, but..."
"But what?"
"I'm afraid Miss Lu just doesn't want to do it, and with Yang Qi's entanglement, her current situation is not going to be easy either."
Yang Qi is really useless. If it weren't for his background, he would have been killed in Bianjing City. He only packs a large clove of garlic every day, with no ingredients at all.
Liang Chuan said with a smile: "Yang Qi is of no use. Lu Yi will suffer the consequences if he follows him. This kind of wealthy family treats women the most unkindly. It would be fine if you meet a good mother-in-law, but if you meet a cold-blooded ghost, it's just a shame." I’m afraid she will enter Yang’s house standing and come out sideways!”
Lu Yi had never met anyone who was kind to her in her life. She was a bit naive to think she had met true love when she met a playboy who admired her beauty.
However, there is another possibility that Lu Yi really wants to find someone to take care of.
In a brothel, there is always a day when a woman becomes old and young. I'm afraid that at that moment, they, the fireworks women who only sell their art but not their bodies, will be unable to help themselves!
Sun Houpu agreed, but he didn't know why Liang Chuan liked this so much. . He was a little disrespectful to Shen Yuzhen. He was just surprised that Liang Chuan's talent was not too much for a princess from an official family today. What kind of fate did these girls have to attract Liang Chuan's attention so much?
