The unscrupulous elder sister

Chapter 173 Goubuli's Silver (1)
Only a middle-aged man's voice was heard, hoarse and dull: "Oh, it's really not profitable to go on like this."

The other is a clearer one, who is also sighing: "Yes, but what can we do? All the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River have attached themselves to that Zhou family, and they come here for a fixed price. Whether you want it or not, we can do it." Is there any way, I have been a salt merchant for more than ten years, and the price has never been so ridiculously high, and I have to pay the government's salt tax, and I am afraid that I will lose money when I ship it back."

"I'm planning to find a few acquaintances to chip in to buy a boat and take a few trips by myself."

"Don't, don't say that it's rare for you to get the Yanyin now. Even if the Cao Gang in the south of the Yangtze River is making a fuss, if you don't have a backer, then it will end badly."

"Why is the Cao Gang making trouble?"

"When did the Cao Gang stop making trouble? It's just that this time it's bigger. I heard that Lian Fushan, the vice-leader of the Qing Gang, has rebelled. His account is just relying on his hands to attract more big households, so how could the Green Gang just let it go, the two gangs are fighting for peace, and as a result, many big households and small households have been linked to the Hong Gang."

"It's really a snipe and a clam fighting for the fisherman's benefit."

"Hmph, these two are not snipe and clam, but a lion and a tiger. I still don't know how to deal with the Hong Gang."

"It's true that gods fight with mortals and suffer. I'm afraid those salt boats came here after untold hardships. No wonder the price is so high."

"The Zhou family was the dominant one. Isn't the Cao Gang jealous? This time, it's just to make a fuss. It's just to see which of the three can get the support of the Zhou family."

"I heard that the Zhou family has a daughter..."

"Exactly, the three gangs of the Cao Gang all have young masters of the right age..."

"It's really lively now..."

Hearing that there was no useful news, Mingrong turned her head and looked at the lazy Baocheng, "Is that why you came here?"

"Yes." Baocheng nodded, "I have two private boats detained."

"What luck?" Ming Rong was a little curious.

"One is salt, and the other is foreign goods."

"Didn't you just hear from that person that the Zhou family is the only one among the salt merchants?"

Disdain flashed in Baocheng's eyes, "It's just a dog's power, this time I'm going to deal with him. There have always been three general merchants, and they used the method of mutual restraint. He arrogantly took him as the main one, which made the Cao Gang also angry." Then there was a commotion, and the price of salt and grain here was too high."

"Is this an errand given to you by Huang Ama?" Ming Rong suddenly realized.

"It's only now that I figured it out?" Baocheng flicked her forehead helplessly, "These matters of the Cao Gang cannot be put on the surface, and Huang Ama can only let me handle them secretly." , otherwise you will think that he will allow me to come out to play in the mountains and rivers?"

Ming Rong pouted, "I thought you were here to accompany me on a tour."

Baocheng's phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and he smiled, "I'm going to accompany you on a tour of the mountains and rivers, and it's fine to arrange other people to do those things."

Ming Rong turned her head: "I don't believe you."

"Then haven't I been with you for the past two days?"

"What about your two boats?"

"Suo'etu has not always acted in my name, so I will borrow his name this time."

"What if he notices?"

Baocheng lowered his eyes and rubbed the white porcelain cup in his hand, but he didn't drink it, he just said lightly: "He won't notice, there are more than a thousand people who use his name to do things, not to mention, even if he notices it, so what, until he notices it." By then, the two boats had long since disappeared.”

Ming Rong frowned, "Did you lose two boats because of this?"

"I've already made arrangements for these two boats." Baocheng stroked her temple hair, "You don't have to worry about these things, this time I brought you out, I took you out to play, you don't have to worry about other things, I will It will be handled by people, if you worry about these, you might as well think about where to go to play, so as not to know where to take the boat from."

Ming Rong heard the teasing in his words, and couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, "How do I know how to go to Jiangnan?"

"Didn't you go on a southern tour with Huang Ahma?"

"That time, I was always by Huang Ama's side to wait for the pen and ink. Who knows how to get there, I only know that when encountering water, I should take a boat, and when encountering roads, I should take a car. I didn't see him a few times all day long."

Baocheng listened to her complaints with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, this time you can have a good time, we will stay here for two days, if you think there are too many people, we will not go out, but there are a few novelties here Eat food, can I ask Shiwu to buy it for you and try it?"

"Aren't you going out?"

"I'm probably going to go out tomorrow, you should stay in the other courtyard and don't wander around, you know?"

Ming Rong was a little speechless. When she was a child, what kind of tone did she say, "Why can't I just walk around? My kung fu is better than yours."

"Yes, but the strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake, and we don't want to stay here, so we don't want to cause more trouble."

Ming Rong immediately frowned: "Where did I cause trouble?"

Baocheng quickly comforted him: "I'm afraid that others will offend you."

"How could someone provoke me for no reason?" Ming Rong rolled her eyes.

Baocheng hugged her into his arms and said in a low voice, "Who made you look so beautiful?"

Mingrong and Baocheng's residence in Tianjin is a three-entry house that Baocheng has arranged for a long time ago. The shape and furnishings in the house are simple, but everything is very careful, revealing the air of everyone, low-key luxury.

The small courtyard where Ming Rong lives is far different from the ingenuity and elegance of the small courtyard next to it. On the contrary, it is full of liveliness and fun everywhere, such as the swings under the two crooked-neck trees, the large climbing vine roses in the corner, and the fragments. The path paved with small stones, the undulating flower beds, the grape trellises that have sprouted green buds, and the trees with branches and branches, let them grow without any trace of pruning, and the flower bushes of the shrubs under the porch, The jingling bells protecting the flowers under the eaves, every time a bird flies by, there is a burst of sweet and crisp chirping.

Ming Rong fell in love with it at first sight, and finally asked Baocheng how he knew she liked such a style.When a certain person turned his head, a tinge of crimson rose from the base of his ears, and he coughed lightly before speaking nonchalantly, he just knew it.

Ming Rong was overjoyed, and asked him how he knew she would definitely come to live here, otherwise his thoughts would not be in vain?
A certain person chuckled lightly, with sparkles in his eyes, and said that every time he bought a house in a city, he would definitely leave a yard for her, and she would eventually live in one of them. In this way, how could his thoughts be wasted?

Ming Rong leaned against the window to read a book, remembering the sweet and soft feeling in her heart after he answered that day, she still couldn't help blushing and heartbeating, his heart, he never wanted to hide it, it was so straightforward and obvious.
