Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 533 Chen Jinghe is very worried
Guangzhou City, Hu Mansion.

The Hu family is not a well-known clan in Guangzhou. Whether it is the traditional four families or the Ye family, which has become more promising in recent years, their reputation cannot be compared.

But in the circle at the top of Guangdong, who doesn't respect the Hu family's face?
Hu Mansion, that is the Princess Mansion.

They are just keeping a low profile and are not known to the general public.

After getting off the duty, Chen Jinghe brought Yu Qian and Jian Cong here.

Several concierge servants wanted to step forward to question their identities, but were stopped by the accompanying guards.

"The prince is driving, don't make any noise."

Several concierges were frightened, but also excited, and even stood up a little bit.

The prince is his brother-in-law.

Chen Jinghe walked all the way into the front hall and waited quietly for Chen Yaxi with a cup of hot tea.

Soon there was a sound of footsteps, and the sound of people arrived first.

"elder brother!"

Turning his head, Chen Jinghe laughed.

"Yaxi, Hongmo."

Chen Yaxi stepped forward excitedly and pulled Chen Jinghe's arm and said.

"Brother, why do you have time to see me today?"

"No matter how busy I am, I have to come and see you. Sit down, sit down."

Greeting the couple to sit down, Chen Jinghe asked a question.

"Why didn't you see Hao'er?"

The Haoer that Chen Jinghe spoke of was Hu Hao, the child of Chen Yaxi and Hu Hongmo, that is, Chen Jinghe's nephew and Chen Yunfu's grandson.

"Still in school and haven't come back yet."

"I've been off duty and haven't finished school yet?"

"It's not like before that there are fewer schools and fewer students. Now there are dozens of schools in the city of Guangzhou. The grades of the students are the achievements of the academic officials, so the studies are getting heavier and heavier."

Chen Jinghe let out a sigh, nodded and changed the subject: "Your sister-in-law misses you every day, and entrusted me to invite you and your wife to dinner at home, but I just forgot in this busy time, why don't you come to the door in person today?" Please.

There are still a few days until the Lantern Festival, if you and Hongmo are not busy, we can have a light meal at home. "

"Okay."

Chen Yaxi agreed without thinking, but Chen Jinghe said something.

"Hongmo hasn't spoken yet."

Hu Hongmo, who had been sitting by the side all the time, smiled and said: "The crown prince invites me, and my younger brother will definitely come."

"Don't call me so born at home, just call me brother or brother like Yaxi."

Chen Jinghe also knew that in his sister's husband's family, the head of the family could only be Chen Yaxi.

After all, the identities of the two families are too disparate, and it is inevitable for women to be strong and men to be weak.

"Brother, you didn't come here just to treat us to dinner, did you?"

Chen Yaxi said: "You are probably busier than your father now, can such a small matter be of great help to you?"

"Knowing that your girl is clever, there is something wrong."

Chen Yaxi got up immediately and gave a salute.

"The concubine respectfully listens to the crown prince's instruction."

Chen Jinghe naturally smiled and lifted Chen Yaxi up.

"Don't do this in front of me. If you are so obedient, then the sun will come out from the west."

After a pause, Chen Jinghe continued to speak, "I heard about your brother, have you started business recently?"

"Nothing."

Chen Yaxi denied it outright: "I don't know how to do business. My husband has always been in charge of the family's business. Besides, Hao'er is getting bigger now, and I can't stop worrying about it."

"Didn't you do business, didn't you invest in stocks or something?" Chen Jinghe saw that Chen Yaxi refused to admit it, so he had no choice but to clarify: "I remember that there was a foreigner named Medici who had a good personal relationship with you two ?
When his Medici Bank was listed on the Canton Stock Exchange, you came to me, and I did this. "

Chen Yaxi answered immediately: "Ah, I remembered, there is such a thing, Cosimo insisted on giving me some dry shares in order to thank me.

How many years have passed, I have never asked, why?It's something to do with dry stocks, isn't it? "

"It's okay." Chen Jinghe waved his hand and said, "Are you making money?"

"It's okay. My husband has always been in charge of our family's money. I don't know how much we have earned. My husband, please tell my brother, how much money have we made from Cosimona's property?"

Hu Hongmo took the conversation and replied: "It's not much, just add three or four hundred million in the past few years."

"Is it three or four billion Wen or three or four billion taels?"

"Brother, are you kidding me? How could there be so many? According to the past, it's only three or four hundred thousand taels of silver."

"That's not much."

Chen Jinghe hummed; "That's fine, let's keep it as pocket money."

Three or four hundred million is used as pocket money, which is why Chen Jinghe can say such things.

"I'm not thinking about your pocket money today, I heard that you have shares in the Medici Chamber of Commerce, and it just so happens that the Guangzhou Economic News is the property of the Medici Chamber of Commerce.

I think you should know something about the recent situation in Guangzhou. It’s somewhat chaotic, so I want the Medici Chamber of Commerce to cooperate with the imperial court and check the newspapers more. Try not to report things that are not conducive to the stability of the current situation, so as to appease the hearts of the people. role. "

"What am I supposed to do?"

As soon as Chen Yaxi heard about it, she immediately agreed: "I will send someone to find Cosimo tomorrow, and ask him to come to the yamen to listen."

"I can't talk about listening to the tune. I'm also asking him for a favor."

Chen Jinghe chuckled: "No matter how you say it, he is your friend, I have to let you even your brother, otherwise if you go to Nanjing to file a complaint, my father will still beat me."

The siblings chatted a few more family stories, and Chen Jinghe got up to say goodbye and leave, but Chen Yaxi grabbed the sleeve of his robe.

"Brother, I also have something to ask you for help."

"Really, tell me, I will do everything your brother can do for you."

Chen Jinghe sat down again, his smiling face became stiff following Chen Yaxi's next words.

"Brother, I heard that Mingzhu Port has been closed for a long time. Cosimo said that many business cooperations have stopped, so I want to ask when the Mingzhu Port will be unblocked."

"Yaxi, the closure of Mingzhu Port is an official business of the imperial court, not your brother and I alone. Besides, now my uncle brought the Sanfa Division to Guangzhou for the sake of Mingzhu Port.

I don't know when the lockdown will be lifted. I have to wait for my uncle's investigation and the decision of the cabinet. "

Chen Yaxi snorted: "Brother, can you tell uncle to open a port at Mingzhu Port first?"

"impossible!"

Chen Jinghe directly and categorically refused: "This matter is not for discussion."

"Oh my brother." Chen Yaxi suddenly refused: "I didn't ask you to open all of them, I just opened one to let the goods from the Medici Chamber of Commerce send out a little, and if you put it down, it will all be broken, and you will lose a lot of money."

"Brother, just now you asked me for help, but I didn't say anything. Now your sister asks you for a little favor. Why are you so unreasonable?"

Chen Jinghe narrowed his eyes.

"If you want to say that, then I don't need your help. I will go to Cosimo myself for the newspaper matter."

Putting these words aside, Chen Jinghe got up and left. Chen Yaxi chased after him all the way to the gate of the mansion. Finally, seeing that Chen Jinghe was determined to go, he stomped his feet angrily.

"What a cheapskate."

After leaving the Hu Mansion, Chen Jinghe sat in the carriage and fell into deep thought.

"Ting Yi, do you think Yaxi has anything to do with Pearl Harbor?"

"Absolutely not!"

Yu Qian was taken aback, waved his hands again and again and said, "Prince, don't think so."

"Then why did she bring it up?"

The more Chen Jinghe thought about it, the more worried he became, and he told the coachman, "Go to Mr. Shao Ge."

For his sister's sudden request, Chen Jinghe was really at ease in his heart.

You have to take care of the case.
