Chapter 88

Fireworks in March in Yangzhou, it is how natural and unrestrained.

However, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it won't look good if it rains repeatedly.

"This rainstorm has been raining for three days. When can it stop!" Looking at the rain rising to two steps in the yard sadly, Ling Qingyu sighed.

"Girl." Zheng Xi ran in from the yard in coir raincoat. Seeing her standing at the door, her clothes were wet by the rain, so she hurriedly took her into the house.

"I'm afraid the flood this year will not be small." Zheng Xi took off the coir raincoat, took off the clothes that had been drenched, took the long towel handed over by Ling Qingyu, and said.

"What's going on outside?" Ling Qingyu asked. As soon as he entered Yangzhou City, he found an inn and rented a courtyard. Before he could go out, the rain began to fall, and he couldn't get out at all.

"It's said that the Huaihe River Basin is more powerful. The place we're going to is Gusang in Huai'an. I'm afraid it's flooded badly." Zheng Xidao. Although Ling Qingyu wears men's clothes, she looks like she'll lose everything when she gets wet, so Zheng Xi is running when she goes to the front restaurant to inquire about information.

"Let's start when the rain is light. I always feel a little worried." Ling Qingyu looked at the vast rain sadly again. This kind of weather is really easy to worry!

"Two days later, I was talking about two shops. There is a jade shop to be transferred. I looked at it. The craftsman's craftsmanship is very good. Girl, don't you want to do that? Jade? There is also a spice shop, together with the jade shop. I calculated that the two shops even cost 10000 liang of silver. The servants of those two shops still have dead contracts, but I don't want those goods. They are all inferior goods." Zheng Xi wiped her hair and changed into a clean dress, saying.

"Ten thousand taels of silver for shops and people alone?" Lingqingyu asked, this price is not cheap.

"Yes, although the location of the shop is not very good, it is surrounded by large families. Moreover, the most valuable ones here are the craftsmen and the shopkeeper of the spice shop. They are very knowledgeable and sign dead deeds, which is also easier to handle." Zheng Xi sat at the table, poured himself a cup of tea and laughed. If it weren't for these individuals, I'm afraid 8000 liang of silver wouldn't be worth it, but with these people, these two shops can open directly. Now good craftsmen are not so easy to find. Zheng Xi is going to take them back to Suzhou.

"Well, that's true. We're not short of money now. We'll earn it from them later." Ling Qingyu nodded. There are several large boxes of jade on board. If there are good craftsmen, it will be a lot of income.

"But I'm not sure I want to buy it today. Please press the price down again." Zheng Xi laughed. The seller is a young scholar. At first glance, he is spoiled at home and doesn't know how to operate at all. The shop is large and the decoration is elegant, but the goods inside are all inferior. The young man still thinks he is saving costs. It's a pity that such a good craftsman and shopkeeper.

"When is the next appointment?" Ling Qingyu asked back.

"Well, this afternoon, I said I would ask my boss and press him for another thousand liang of silver."

"I'll go with you that afternoon. I'm so stuffy in the house."

"Where's the third master?"

"Sleep in the house and ignore me when talking to him." Lingqingyu was very depressed. What a stingy man!

Yan Sanzheng, who was sleeping in the inner room, covered his mouth and coughed stiffly for two times. He took away his palm and saw the purple black blood clot and smiled silently, pressing down the churning blood pressure on his chest.

In the afternoon, the rain was finally light, which was quite a bit of a gentle breeze and drizzle.

Ling Qingyu wore a blue gown, tied his hair in a bun with a blue ribbon, and inserted a jade hairpin. Qingqing followed Zheng Xi into the elegant room.

Fortunately, it's not the corner private room of the Xiao family. This is a square and elegant room. There is a bookcase near the window, on which there are four treasures of study, low chairs with yellow pears on both sides, and a very quaint tea table in the middle. Tea sets are neatly placed on the table. A girl in white, with a wide sleeved light shirt, kneels down at the table and cooks tea.

This! It's too elegant. Do you have it! Why is it so elegant to talk business between merchants? severity shown by an official on assuming office? Are you a vegetarian when you are an aunt? Back then, my aunt's best friend was fascinated by the tea ceremony, and I just knelt with her for four months! Humming in his heart, Ling Qingyu respectfully walked in, saluted the young childe opposite, and then sat on the low seat in a very elegant posture.

Yan San looked and still stood at the door. Zheng Xi hesitated and looked at the shopkeeper next to the young childe opposite. Seeing that the shopkeeper had a helpless face, he sneered and sat next to Ling Qingyu.

"Young Master Zhu..." Zheng Xigang opened his mouth and was stopped by the young master opposite. The young master looked at him discontentedly, and then focused on the tea making girl.

Ling Qingyu smiled and looked at Zheng Xi, suppressing his dissatisfaction. She leaned slightly against the armrest of the low chair. The beauty cooked tea. Every move was very pleasing to the eye. The tea fragrance was leisurely. Ling Qingyu unconsciously thought of her best friend, but she didn't know whether the classmate would jump up and scold or cry bitterly after knowing that he was cocked up? Probably both.

Ling Qingyu wore a faint and elegant smile on her face, but her thoughts drifted far away. But her appearance was a little uninhibited and romantic, and Mr. Zhu unconsciously looked at her more.

After waiting for the beauty to boil the tea, and then pour it into the cup, Mr. Zhu Fang said, "that shop is my ancestral business. If it's not... 10000 Liang, shopkeeper Zheng will give you an accurate number if you want to buy it. It doesn't matter if you buy it three days later."

Ling Qingyu was stunned and asked, "young master, what's so difficult?"

Childe Zhu gave her a white eye and thought, I naturally have a dilemma. Otherwise, who will sell the main business? All the other fields in the family are fields. Although these two shops have been losing money in the past two years, if the eldest brother didn't rely on money to save his life, the Zhu family didn't reach the point of selling the industry.

"I still hope you can make it clear that 10000 liang of silver is not a problem, but Ling doesn't want to buy a trouble back." Ling Qingyu sipped his tea gently and said.

"Childe." The shopkeeper next to him pressed Master Zhu, looked at Zheng Xi, and said to Ling Qingyu, "Ling Dong's family, right? Our Zhu family is also a big family in Yangzhou. We will never do anything fraudulent. It's really an emergency in the house."

"Like to buy or not." Master Zhu broke away from the shopkeeper's hand, got up and left directly.

"Shopkeeper." Ling Qingyu called the shopkeeper who was going to chase him out and asked, "please tell me. It's fate to meet each other. See if Ling can help?"

"Hey, my eldest son is the county magistrate of Jiangdu. This year, Jiangdu broke the dike, and the relief funds of the imperial court have not been paid yet. The old lady let me sell the shop." The shopkeeper bowed his head.

I see. At least a breach of the dike within the jurisdiction must be ruled out. Coupled with the unfavorable resettlement, it would be nice if there were a few political enemies to fall into the trap.

"Shopkeeper, I bought this shop at your price, but those craftsmen are going to Suzhou with us for a few years. Is there a problem?" Ling Qingyu put down the tea cup and said.

"Naturally, there's no problem! Don't worry, my boss. We have signed a dead contract and will do our best." The shopkeeper hurried. The Zhu family has always been kind to their servants. If they can help the eldest childe, what are they.

"There's another thing, your eldest son is willing to use his own industry to help the victims. Ling admires it very much." Ling Qingyu took out 20000 taels of silver and said, "I donated 10000 taels to Jiangdu. I hope I can do my best."

"This! Thank you, Ling Dongjia!" The shopkeeper bowed to the ground.

"In this case, you and Zheng Xi should go through the formalities as soon as possible. We don't worry about the goods. We can deal with them when we come back." With that, Ling Qingyu stood up and sat down again, and her legs would be numb!

Zhufu by the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou.

"Touch" made a crisp sound, and then the woman snapped, "you don't want to deal with merchants! Then tell me, how to collect this 10000 liang?!"

Zhu Fangqing bowed her head and dared not echo.

Mrs Zhu was so angry that she couldn't speak, but she also took the second son's inability to study. A shop with such a good business can make a loss, and she still looks like a scholar all day long.

"Madam, madam." The shopkeeper stepped into the room and saw the tea stains all over the floor. He hurriedly stood behind the screen and arched his hands and said, "madam, the Lingdong family has bought our shop, 10000 liang of silver."

"Amitabha." Mrs Zhu read the Buddha's name and sat on the chair.

"Also, Ling Dongjia said that our eldest son was willing to take his own money to help the victims. He admired it very much, so he also donated 10000 liang of silver to the eldest son. Here is a total of 20000 liang of silver." The shopkeeper respectfully handed the silver ticket to the woman who served next to him.

"Seriously?!" After taking the silver ticket from the woman's hand, Mrs. Zhu said happily, "this is a noble man. Hurry, send it to Qing'er."

"Madam, Zhu Jiang is going to go through the formalities with him now. He can't serve his wife and two sons anymore." The shopkeeper gave a deep gift, and as soon as the formalities were handled, he was no longer a slave of the Zhu family.

"Hey, I really wronged you." Mrs. Zhu sighed and hurriedly ordered her mother-in-law to take out the land deeds and the personal deeds of those people. Some of the family's deeds were given together, so as not to separate these domestic slaves.

It was hot and rainy. Zheng Xi went to go through the formalities. Ling Qingyu didn't want to go out and just sat in front of the house watching the rain.

"What are you thinking?" Yan San sat beside her and asked.

"Ah? Are you not angry?" Ling Qingyu was surprised by him and asked sideways.

"I'm not angry." Yan San said faintly.

You're not angry. You'll talk about me everywhere? And ignore me? Ignore me? Ling Qingyu accused him with his eyes.

Touching her head, Yan San leaned against her wearily.

"Are you not feeling well?" Ling Qingyu frowned and put his hand on his forehead.

"Nothing, just let me sleep." Yan San took down her hand, closed his eyes, leaned against her shoulder, listened to the rain ticking in front of the steps, the flustered breath slowly subsided, and the reverse blood also seemed to be slowly recovering.

Ling Qingyu glanced at him with worry, but didn't make a sound to disturb him. He leaned sideways to make him more comfortable. He thought to himself, after returning, he must ask the stone to show him. It turned out that the iron Yan San would also be so tired? But why are you so tired? They haven't been in a hurry all the way? There was no fierce battle? So, isn't it? It can't be true? Ah! It's really like that! What is it?!
