Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Husband and wife concentric
In the city of Sizhou came a wealthy businessman, Lai Fugui, who was born in Yingtianfu, Nanjing.
To say that he is a wealthy businessman is not because of how many people he brought and how many horses and servants he brought, but because of his grandeur, which exudes a sense of wealth and honor everywhere.There are only three cars, all of which are luxurious and famous cars carefully crafted from Nanhai Jinsi Nanmu. One is worth tens of thousands of dollars. It is said that there are only four cars like this in the south. He regards it as a beloved thing and never shows it to others.
There are also the two beautiful concubines of the businessman. It is said that they saw the two beauties chasing their car for seven or eight streets, only looking at the beauties in the car all the way. .Most people haven't seen those two beautiful concubines, but many people have seen the little girl Cai'er next to these two beautiful concubines.
This little girl in a cloth handkerchief in blue and without pearls, jade and rouge has picturesque eyebrows and a sweet smile. She is really beautiful and pretty. The slightest difference.His speech and demeanor are generous, which is not inferior to many wealthy daughters.No woman with mediocre appearance would leave such a lethal maid by her side. It is conceivable how beautiful those two concubines are.
This has aroused the attention of many people, but as soon as they entered the city, they took over the entire "Quanxiangyuan" inn like a family garden and villa, so that many people came here admiringly, but they had no chance to meet the beauty. One um.
The next day, this wealthy businessman from Yingtianfu began to visit the well-known local grain gentry. As soon as he saw the honor of this wealthy businessman and knew that his concubines were charming and charming, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the two. The beauty is sad.This wealthy businessman from Yingtianfu was born with a short stature, his appearance was not good, he had a slippery and treacherous face, two slender whiskers, his head was on top of his shoulders, his neck was invisible, his belly was tall, he was rich and rich, his mother The good cabbage made the pig arch.
But they are rich, other rich people's invitations are all gold-plated and lacquered, this man is quite flamboyant, the whole invitation is made of gold leaf, such a big shot, naturally a blockbuster.On the first day, Mr. Lai hosted a banquet for Liu Xiangzhi, the uncle of Mrs. Deng Zuyang, the magistrate of Sizhou.Today, another big grain gentry from Sizhou, Uncle Zhou Wang, was invited to a banquet.
Liu Xiangzhi and Zhou Wangshu are two important grain gentry in Sizhou. Liu Xiangzhi is the uncle of Mrs. Deng Zuyang, the magistrate, and came here when Deng Zuyang took office. The prefect of Zhou Wangshu's family is in Sizhou. It has been passed down for more than ten generations and has a deep foundation. The family is well off.The two major grain gentry, the new one and the old one, have a government background, and the other has a deep foundation. They are all closely related to the transshipment department, delivery department, and purchase department of Jianghuai Road, but the two people are in the same situation.
This Mr. Lai from Yingtian Mansion unexpectedly contacted the two big grain gentry who had a grudge with each other without any shyness, and the two big grain gentry didn't take it seriously and went to the banquet happily, which made people doubt his identity. .Soon, information about Master Lai's identity and background spread.It turns out that the Lai family is a leader in the jewelry industry in the north, and its roots are in Yingtianfu, Nanjing. It is not surprising that the Lai family is a wealthy family, wealthy and princely.
It is said that the Lai family has hooked up with the Tang family, a rich gentry from the northwest, intending to expand their business and find more ways to make money. After leaving Sizhou, most of the gentry in the north have official backgrounds. Once there is someone in the court, it is very easy to sit in the family business. No wonder Liu and Zhou both value him so much.
The banquet was over, and the two parties parted ways. The banquet was full of wine, and Uncle Zhou Wang, who was very drunk, asked two beautiful concubines to help him into his carriage with the curtain of pearls, and snuggled into the seat. The drunkenness in his eyes disappeared immediately, he closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then he asked the hot concubine on the left: "E Rong, look... is this Lai Yuan trustworthy?"
That beautiful concubine named E Rong can read and write, is good at arithmetic, she is both beautiful and intelligent, Uncle Zhou Wang relies on this virtuous wife to take care of many accounts, not only his concubine, but also his concubine. A great help in business.Hearing his question, the beauty snorted, and said sourly: "Master is going to exchange Erong for that childish concubine next to Yuanwai Lai. No one cares about your affairs."
Uncle Zhou Wang smiled and said: "I just pretended to be drunk to test him. The son of a wealthy family doesn't care about the beauty of a beautiful concubine. I will exchange him with a beautiful concubine with the 'Eight Beautiful Pictures'. If he agrees, I will not have any doubts now. Yes. Hehe, how can the master really change you out? The so-called pretending to be crazy by drinking, that’s it. If not, it’s fine to accompany me, how could he lose peace with me because of it?”
Uncle Zhou Wang had eight concubines, all of whom were beautiful. He once invited celebrities to paint an "Eight Beauties Picture", in which the eight beauties were painted with their own unique beauty and posture, and decorated with diamonds and gemstones. Very precious.E Rong only turned from anger to joy when she heard this, but she still curled her lips and said: "The master stared at that immature beauty, wishing to have a sip of wine, so he swallowed it in one gulp. If he is really willing to change, who knows you Don't move your heart."
With anger in her mouth, she still thought about it carefully and said: "It should be true. If someone is cheating, they can't show such publicity. Moreover, if they are fake, they must have a guilty conscience. A person with a guilty conscience, How dare you make such a big show and pretend to be a well-known gentry in Yingtian Mansion, but you are not afraid of showing your feet?"
Uncle Zhou Wang let out a "huh" and fell silent.The beauty named Lanshan on the other side said: "The slave family has also carefully observed the speech and behavior of their concubines. It is indeed everyone's demeanor. It should not be fake."
She is also a beauty on the Eight Beauties Picture, and she has always been favored by Uncle Zhou Wang. She pondered and said: "People in the south and people in the north have different customs. People in the south are accustomed to selling concubines and serving concubines to guests, but people in the north have different customs. In this world, there is Han Zaixi, who is a prime minister, but generously serves his guests with concubines, and there is also Shi Chong, who is rich in the world, but would rather destroy his family and die than exchange his concubine for his own safety. Not sure, in my opinion, sister Erong is right, the master is really attracted to other women."
Uncle Zhou Wang laughed out loud, pinched her cheeks, and said, "What's so bad about changing from Eight Beauties to Nine Beauties? You also have an extra sister as a companion, don't you?"
Just joking, he smiled and said: "I don't think they have any flaws, but the king of Wei is stationed in Sizhou, the rumors are very tight, if I don't have a complete grasp, I can't reveal this rumor."
He patted the beautiful woman's smooth and soft thighs, and said slowly: "The fast horse that the old man sent to Yingtian Mansion to investigate the truth should be back in a couple of days, and I will drag him until we have the confirmation."
"Yeah!" E Rong covered her mouth with a chuckle, and said charmingly, "Master, don't forget that there is another buyer in Deyue Inn. Fifty thousand stone grains is not a small sum, so why don't you be tempted?"
"Hehehe..." Uncle Zhou Wang laughed softly: "Yang Hao, Yang Hao, what a Nan Yayuan envoy, he can do the job of dismantling the chicken coop and smashing the pigsty, if he wants to get rid of the old man's foundation, he just depends on his stupidity." Qing? Hmph, tell me to go on, let Shi Lingzi continue to take this Lord Yang around in circles. When they leave Sizhou, the old man will decorate with lanterns and festoons, and build a ten-mile colorful shed to see Wei Wang Qiansui and his Lord Yang off. Yes, hehehe..."
"Master, you're too drunk, walk slowly." "My lord, raise your legs a little higher, and don't trip over them." Doll and Yanyan competed to flatter each other, and their delicate voices were so soft to the bone. Zhang Niuer was only three-point drunk at first, but seven-point fake, and now let the two of them help each other. As soon as the ground called, he walked a little bit smoothly. But as soon as they got into the car, these two kicked Mr. Zhang aside. The two beauties sat on the couch. The beauty fanned the wind to cool off. "You're not bad." Wu Wawa glanced at Zhang Niu'er with a smile: "I really didn't realize before that you have such abilities. Uncle Zhou Wang can be regarded as a wealthy businessman with more than ten generations. In front of him, you Unexpectedly, his arrogance is even more arrogant than his, and his manner is more graceful than his, so he can't afford the slightest doubt." Zhang Niu'er was already fat, and drank again. In such a small space, he still had to fan the two aunts. Beads of sweat dripped down his forehead, listening to Wu Wa'er's praise, He smiled complacently and said, "Although Uncle Zhou Wang is a wealthy family of more than ten generations, he is just a tyrant in Sizhou. What kind of world has he seen? The young one is in front of the girl, the famous prince of the capital, and the famous man in the world. I don't know how many famous Confucian scholars have seen them. The way they talk and laugh during the banquet is familiar to the younger ones. If they imitate casually, and pick up a few topics they talked and laughed about, I'm afraid they can't hold back State tyrants?" Wu Wa'er pursed her lips and said with a smile: "You said that you are fat and you are panting. Now that you are on the mountain, you should not be careless. With such a big deal, he can't hold back the fat in his mouth. I think he is already satisfied." Now, I just don’t know if we are reliable or not. Sister, there is nothing wrong with the identity you arranged..." She turned her head and saw Tang Yanyan was sulking with a pretty face, she couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, sister?" Tang Yanyan snorted heavily, and said angrily: "If it weren't for the fact that we still need that surnamed Zhou, I would have wanted him to look good in person. What does he think of us women, and he wants to have sex with our Mr. Lai?" Changing my concubine really pissed me off." Zhang Niu'er hurriedly lowered his waist, and said with a smile: "Didn't you dare to agree to this little one?" Wu Wa'er heard that Tang Yanyan was arguing for him, she couldn't help holding Tang Yanyan's hand movedly, and said quietly: "Oh, where are most of the men in the world? When love is strong, when you are like a pearl Treasure, the vows of mountain alliances are endless, and once we get bored, we will be disposed of at will like mules, horses and livestock. Who really regards us as human beings? Only us officials, whether it is the authority of the prince or the future of our own family, do not seem to be the same Your own woman is the most important thing. Only a housewife like you, sister, will be so unfair for my little sister, my little sister is blessed." "It's not because of this..." Tang Yanyan said angrily, "That Uncle Zhou Wang didn't treat us women as human beings, and proposed to change his concubine after getting drunk. You exchanged eight beautiful concubines for one of you, but why didn't you come to exchange me? Could it be that this girl was born so poorly that she couldn't catch his eyes? She really is a damned thing, she has a pair of dog eyes!" "Uh……" Wu Wa'er was speechless immediately: "My big lady, why does she seem to lack a string in her mind?"
As soon as Shi Lingzi entered the room, he rubbed his hands, gritted his teeth, nodded and smiled and said, "Oh, the two masters are resting in the room, hehehe, I just contacted another grain merchant, this one I live a little further away, at Majiaji in the east of the city, you two, should I hire two sedan chairs, otherwise it will be a lot of hard work." Yang Hao said with a half-smile: "You don't need to go to Majiaji, hehe, I went to Majiaji today, and I went to Niujiapo tomorrow, and all I saw were insignificant goods, and the answer was always no food. Can be sold, you collect our money every day, and lead us to run around like headless chickens, if you go on like this, I am afraid that you will not be able to collect a grain of food in the year of the monkey, right?" "Ah? Master Bi, this is... what does this mean, this... this, this... the little one is a rough man, he just can't understand." "Rough man?" Yang Hao walked slowly in front of him, retracted his folding fan, and looked at him with a "slap" on his forehead. His smile faded, and he said grimly: "Rough man? You are so thin, you will lose weight when the wind blows." With a broken body, how dare you call yourself a brute? You're playing me like a monkey, aren't you?" Shi Lingzi's face changed slightly, his cunning eyes flashed, and he pretended to be stupid and said in a daze: "What the hell is Master Bi talking about? Idiot... I really don't understand." "If you don't understand, then I will tell you to listen!" Yang Hao turned around, flung his robe, sat down on the chair, and said in a deep voice, "Bi Su." "The subordinates are here!" Bi Su took a step forward and said in a vibrating voice: "The one sitting on the top is Doctor Youwu, Hezhou Defense Envoy, Nan Yayuan Envoy Yang Hao, Master Yang, is he still kneeling?" "Ah? What? You...don't lie to me, I, Shilingzi..." Shi Lingzi's complexion changed drastically, but he refused to give in, he was just pretending to be stupid, Bisu flew up and kicked him on the crook of his leg, Shi Lingzi knelt down with a bang, his legs were about to break, and he was in pain. She had to grin her teeth, but didn't dare to get up. Yang Hao smiled coldly: "You don't have to be afraid, no matter who you are in front of, a character like you is just an errand master, I will not lower my status and compete with a small shrimp like you Son, you heard me clearly!" Yang Hao leaned forward slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell your master, since I want to investigate this matter, I will definitely investigate to the end. There are many illegal buildings in Kaifeng mansion, and the official only needs to draw In the last circle, it will be dismantled as soon as it is dismantled. I will definitely be able to tear the net he has carefully woven. Old loach, dig it out of the hole!"
"Master, you're too drunk, walk slowly." "My lord, raise your legs a little higher, and don't trip over them." Doll and Yanyan competed to flatter each other, and their delicate voices were so soft to the bone. Zhang Niuer was only three-point drunk at first, but seven-point fake, and now let the two of them help each other. As soon as the ground called, he walked a little bit smoothly.
