Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 228 It's time to get married
At Huai'an Wharf, the Gong family's fleet had just landed, and Hou's steward at the wharf rushed to greet them.

"Young master, you are back."

Gong Ziyi gave him a sideways look: "Can you talk?"

Li Neng smiled hurriedly and slapped himself on the lips: "The servant said something wrong, it's time to slap."

Gong Ziyi was helped ashore, and said: "My trip was very smooth. No one at home thought I would come back so soon, right?"

"That's right. When the master and the great master heard that the young master had sold all the goods of several ships, and the price was still high, they all said that the young master is experienced in handling things, has rules in his work, and is capable of taking care of big things."

Gong Ziyi raised his eyebrows triumphantly.

He was helped to the front of the carriage, and just about to get up, he looked at the pier again: "Is there a firm called Guangfengshui on the pier?"

"Guangfeng water?" Li Neng frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head, not impressed.

Gong Ziyi squinted at him again: "What's the use of having you as a big manager! You don't even know what kind of shops are in the wharf."

Li Neng said: "Young Master, there are hundreds of shops in Huai'an Wharf, and new ones open every one or two days. I don't remember the faces of those small shops. There are some openings every day, and there are new ones. How can I remember them all?" , I just remember those who have something to do with us."

Gong Ziyi hated that iron could not be made into steel: "Forget it, I will go and see for myself tomorrow."

"What is the origin of Guangfengshui?" Li Neng followed into the carriage.

Gong Ziyi collapsed on the wall of the car, sighing contentedly, after floating on the water for so long, it is still comfortable on the shore.

"You won't be able to guess who opened this Guangfeng water."

Li Neng rolled his eyes, since the young master said so, then this Guangfeng water must be harmless to his shop, what does the young master say?

"Could it be someone we know?"

Gong Ziyi laughed: "Isn't it just someone I know. You must not guess it. Do you still remember that I asked you to send a load of refined salt to a fisherman four years ago?"

Li Neng clapped his hands together: "Why don't you remember. Young master, you even sworn brothers of the opposite sex with him. Could it be that Guangfeng Shui was opened by his family? Did it come to the door of Young Master's house?"

Gong Ziyi laughed loudly: "Isn't it his family who opened it? It also quietly drove to our door, and did not come to the door to support the meeting. Tell me, did he do something wrong? Isn't that right? Put my half-brother in your eyes."

Li Neng also laughed: "The servant still remembers that Young Master Huo's disdain for the young master back then, young master, if you force him to be sworn brothers with you, maybe he will pierce the villain in his heart."

"Hahaha, isn't he a villain? This time I met him in Songjiang, and he didn't want to say hello when he saw me, but he still hid! It's too much."

Li Neng was a little astonished: "Master, did you meet that half-brother in Songjiang this time? Could it be that the master's success in Songjiang this time has something to do with him?"

There must be some reason why the young master mentioned his brother with a different surname as soon as he came back.But the other party is just a fisherman, why, has such ability?
"Didn't you see it? You must have never thought of it. We are thanks to him for these shipments, otherwise I would still be wandering in Songjiang. It's not that I can't sell them, but it will take a lot of work. The more In the end, the price will be lowered even more by foreigners.”

"Oh? Could it be that this young master of the Huo family still has connections?" How could it be possible, but he belonged to a fisherman's family.In his mind, he thought about the appearance of the little boy he saw four years ago.

Gong Ziyi laughed: "He doesn't have many contacts, but you can't guess, he can speak well! He can speak fluently and talk with foreigners, just like he also came from that foreign country. "

Li Neng opened his mouth wide: "Ah? Young Master Huo can speak? How could he be able to speak? He is a fisherman, where did he learn to speak?"

Gong Ziyi smiled: "He said he rescued a foreigner in the water. The foreigner stayed in his house for several years, and he learned from him."

"I didn't expect Young Master Huo to have such an adventure. Then this time it's thanks to his help."

Gong Ziyi nodded: "Tomorrow you and I will find out where his shop is. Since it is in Huai'an, on our land, let's take care of it more in the future. He didn't want to come over to bother me all these years. It seems that he is unwilling to ask for help."

"Yes, then I will help you take care of me more in the future."

The two returned to the palace house.

Gong Ziyi got praise from his grandfather and father, and it was his first time to do a sea trade business, but he did not expect to do a very good job.

Everyone in the hall had different ideas, some sincerely praised and some falsely flattered, Gong Ziyi didn't care at all.

After scanning all the brothers, concubines, and cousins, none of them are as cute as Huo Xihuo Nian, and he couldn't help but lose interest.

After chatting with everyone, returning to their yard, the eldest lady He Shi brought someone in with a bowl of chicken soup.

Gong Ziyi reluctantly took two sips: "Mother, this is too tired, my son can't drink it anymore."

"Drink a few more sips. You have been away for nearly a month this time, floating in the water, and you have to make up for it when you come back." He Shi personally brought it to him, and Gong Ziyi had no choice but to drink a few more sips. Only then did He let someone take it down.

Seeing that his son has grown up to be able to take care of things, the more he looks, the more he is satisfied: "This time your grandfather must have entrusted you with the task of connecting the Northwest Salt Transport."

Gong Ziyi nodded, just now his grandfather talked to him, saying that he has done a good job this time, and he will be the leader when he goes to the northwest after a while.

"Your grandmother was thinking of your fourth uncle and fifth uncle who were not up to date, and insisted on letting your grandfather hand over the salt transportation business in the Northwest to them. Although your father said that he was happy to see that you were valued by your grandfather, but he missed you again. Those concubine brothers, let you support them everywhere."

He Shi was dissatisfied, and gritted his back molars.

"And your grandfather, who was thinking about your uncles again, said that he was close to each other, took care of them everywhere, and wiped their buttocks. I think if your grandfather indulges them again, something will happen."

Gong Ziyi patiently listened to the He family's rambling, and then comforted her: "Mother, the Gong family is now big and successful, and it all depends on the concerted efforts of the whole family. If it falls apart, our family will be swallowed up by other families." No."

"It's not that my mother doesn't know, but look at them, they only fight for power and profit. How many of them really do things? You have to rely on your father and you to support them. You have to bear so much at a young age."

"Mother, isn't this very good, we are the big house, the big house is capable, and you are not happy that your grandfather favors you?"

"Of course my mother is happy, but seeing my son so tired, my mother feels distressed. Son, you really don't study anymore? Gentlemen say that my son is talented in reading..."

Gong Ziyi interrupted her: "Mother, I really don't like being an official, and I don't like to put on a mask and socialize with people in the officialdom. I still prefer this kind of life."

"That's all." He Shi was so impatient, he had no choice but to temporarily suppress his heart for planning for his son.

He took another look at his son, and the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became: "Son, what do you like? You are now at the age to say goodbye..."

Gong Ziyi jumped up and pushed He Shi away: "Mother, let's wait for a few more years, my son doesn't think about those things now. Just let my son live happily ever after for a few more years."
