Lord, the princess is beautiful and fierce

Chapter 451 Xiao Yi Was Robbed
Chapter 451 Xiao Yi Was Robbed
At the end of February, the weather gradually gets warmer.

The canal was also opened to navigation. Shi Luo stood on the pier, watching the merchant ships coming and going, feeling a little bit emotional in his heart.

At this time, the weather was still a bit cold, Ruhua brought her a cloak to put on.

"Why hasn't His Royal Highness arrived yet?" Ru Hua also looked anxiously at the pier. There were several merchant ships arriving since morning, but there was no Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi wrote a letter half a month ago, saying that he would arrive today, and specifically asked Shi Luo to go to the pier to pick him up.

Shi Luo was bored for more than a month, anyway, he had nothing to do, so he wanted to come to the pier to have a look, maybe he could meet Wei Congxi.

"It should be soon."

Just as Shi Luo finished speaking, suddenly a person appeared in front of her. She hadn't seen him for a long time, and Shi Luo thought she had admitted the wrong person.

Zhou Siyi lost a lot of weight, almost out of shape, but his complexion is not bad, but he is cooler than before.

"It's really you, I thought I recognized the wrong person."

Zhou Siyi said.

Shi Luo frowned: "Young Master Zhou, we don't know each other that well, do we?"

Not to mention the matter of Shi Wan.

Zhou Siyi didn't care about Shi Luo's indifference when he said this, and said: "It's windy today, what is the princess doing at the pier?" "

"My fourth brother is here today, and I'll pick him up."

Shi Luo's attitude was polite and distant.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Zhou Siyi, he also looked like he came to pick up someone at the pier.

Sensing her gaze, Zhou Siyi took the initiative to explain: "I'm here to pick up Bai Xiuyuan, and he said he has a lot to offer."

He thought that Shi Luo also came to pick up Bai Xiuyuan, so it's fine.

Shi Luo said: "Even if Bai Xiuyuan came, you don't need to pick him up personally, do you?"

There are a lot of people in the Bai family, and don't think she doesn't know that Bai Xiuyuan and Zhou Siyi are plastic brothers.

Zhou Siyi said: "The old lady of the Bai family's birthday, Bai Xiuyuan is not trying to surprise the old lady."

Shi Luo nodded.

Also stopped talking.

Zhou Siyi was also tactful and didn't say much.

There is a saying that Zhou Siyi said is right, today's wind is very strong, blowing on people's faces like knives, Shi Luo couldn't bear the cold, Zhou Siyi said: "There is a teahouse over there, let's go in and wait."

That's good, but Shi Luo didn't plan to be with him, after all, Shi Wan is a thorn in everyone's heart.

Maybe Zhou Siyi also noticed something, there was a moment of sadness in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, he pretended to be relaxed and smiled: "Let's go."

Shi Luo didn't say much, the group entered the teahouse, Shi Luo found a seat by the window, just in time a new merchant ship arrived at the pier, Zhou Siyi said: "This merchant ship belongs to the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce."

Shi Luo took a look, only to see a big "Jiang" written on the flag at the bow of the boat.

It's not unusual for Shi Luo, Xiao Mo took her to the Nanyue Chamber of Commerce before, and it was at that time that Shi Luo knew that all these businessmen are owned by the Chamber of Commerce, not just anyone can do it safely Business.

Zhou Siyi said: "The largest chamber of commerce in the entire Eastern Continent is called the United Chamber of Commerce. It was founded when the Eastern Continent was still one. Although the Eastern Continent was later divided into several countries, the United Chamber of Commerce has always existed. Before that, it was dominated by one , and later with the South Vietnam Chamber of Commerce, we can compete with them."

Shi Luo raised her head and glanced at Zhou Siyi. Zhou Siyi seemed to want to tell her this, so she nodded and asked, "What about the Chamber of Commerce in Dazhou?"

Zhou Siyi said: "There is no other chamber of commerce in Dazhou, only Lanjing Chamber of Commerce, which is run by the government, and the president of the chamber of commerce is also an official of Dazhou, just like Wei Congxi, who is now a member of the chamber of commerce and manages some goods at the wharf. registration."

Shi Luo nodded, not surprised. After all, in the Nanyue Chamber of Commerce, although Bai Xiuyuan was the president, Xiao Yi was not involved in it after all. Business between countries would not work without the support of the government.

"Chunwei is coming soon. This time, some officials of Chunwei will allocate some to the chamber of commerce. This is a fat job, and many people are staring at it."

Shi Luo glanced at Zhou Siyi: "Is there anyone in your family who is in Lanjing Chamber of Commerce?"

Zhou Siyi nodded: "My cousin is here."

"Why don't you go in and be an official?" Shi Luo asked.

Zhou Siyi glanced at her helplessly, and seeing that Shi Luo really didn't know, he said, "I am a member of the Lanjing Chamber of Commerce. As for why I am not an official..."

Zhou Siyi was a little embarrassed: "I'm not good at studying. After several exams, I couldn't even pass the exam as a scholar, so I gave up."

Shi Luo stared at Zhou Siyi, she never thought that Zhou Siyi, who used to be so conceited, could not even pass the exam as a scholar in this era when everything was inferior and only students were highly educated?
Shi Luo couldn't help but laughed. After laughing for a while, he might feel that such a smile is really bad, so he explained: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to laugh at you, I just said what I said, I didn't expect you to fail the exam .”

Shi Luo laughed again, Zhou Siyi's face turned dark.

"You are mocking."

Zhou Siyi said seriously.

Shi Luo "..."

Shi Luo couldn't continue laughing at him anymore, so he turned to look out of the window, and there were several merchant ships coming out of the window.Zhou Siyi said: "Bai Xiuyuan is here, I'm leaving first."

Shi Luo nodded.

Zhou Siyi left, and soon came back, followed by Bai Xiuyuan, Shi Luo noticed that the expressions of the two of them were not very good, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

"What happened?"

Bai Xiuyuan looked a little tired after traveling all the way, he glanced at Shi Luo and said, "Don't worry."

Shi Luo was suspicious: "Did something happen to my fourth brother?"

Bai Xiuyuan nodded and said: "I heard in the morning that a merchant ship encountered water bandits last night. A merchant ship in South Vietnam was hijacked. The imperial court has sent people there. Maybe your fourth brother is not on that ship."

Shi Luo only felt a buzzing in his head.

"Don't be in a hurry." Bai Xiuyuan said, "Water ghosts ask for money, not life."

Water bandits are generally also called water ghosts.

How could Shi Luo not be in a hurry, she got up in a hurry and rushed back to Nanyue Mansion, only to find that Xiao Mo had gone out, she should have received the news, Shi Luo was finally relieved.

The waiting process is always long and tormented. Shi Luo thought about inquiring more information, so he went to Jinxiu Pavilion and asked the shopkeeper Qiao about the location of Bai Xiuyuan's home.

It was already noon when he arrived, and Bai Xiuyuan didn't live with the Bai family. He bought a yard next door to the Bai family. There is a small door, which is usually locked, and the rest of the Bai family can't come to his yard without orders.

When Shi Luo came, Bai Xiuyuan was having lunch with Zhou Siyi, Zhou Siyi didn't pick anything, the two of them just had two dishes and one pot of wine, talking about the robbery of the South Vietnamese merchant ship.

"My lord, the princess of Nanyue is here." Said lightly.

Bai Xiuyuan was not surprised and said: "Let the princess wait in the front hall, I will come right away."

Shi Luo waited in the front hall, and a servant served tea. Shi Luo noticed that Bai Xiuyuan, like Wei Congxi, was full of servants in the courtyard, without a maid.
