The Landlord And His Wife - Chapter 179

      Liu Lin brought Xiao Bei here, Liu Shu was worried and asked Tian Yu to follow.

    There are two other horses, this car is mainly to pull goods when it is ready to come back.

    Liu Lin and Shi Cheng were still willing to ride horses, and asked the shopkeeper Qiu and Tian Yu and Xiao Bei to get in the car, and everyone set off.

    Shicheng has gone all the way, and he is still looking back, and he can still see the shadow of the car that Liu Xuer is sitting in, so he still smiles and keeps going there Waving.

    Liu Lin also looked back at the side, Xuer’s car could not be seen clearly, let alone the people in the car, he shook his head and looked at Shicheng Road: “It’s really so okay?”

    “What?” Shi Cheng was stunned, not understanding what he meant.

    “Being engaged… having a future daughter-in-law, it feels so good? As for you following Xu’er all day long, Xu’er is what she says, and she will be silly and happy to see her Can’t close your mouth…is that good?”

    Shi Cheng understood, and laughed haha: “Second brother-in-law, you really don’t know! It feels so good! People with daughters-in-law and those without daughters-in-law…” Glancing at Liu Lin, he was very proud: “It doesn’t feel the same, but now I tell you that you don’t know how…you have to have a daughter-in-law!”

    Liu Lin touched his chin, wondering if he should have a wife too? Shicheng’s happiness also infected him, and he laughed, thinking about what it would be like to have a daughter-in-law?

    Inadvertently, a vague figure rose in her heart, and before it became clear, Liu Lin seemed to know who it was, and hurriedly shook her head, shaking the vague figure Take off, turn around and talk to Shicheng with a smile.

     Arrived at Songjiang House.

    The original jewelry store of the Shicheng family also sold cotton handbags, handkerchief purses and other items, all of which were imported from Songjiang Prefecture, so the shopkeeper Qiu was considered a good deal for Songjiang Prefecture. relatively familiar. When he arrived at Songjiang Mansion, he found an inn with many businessmen to stay.

    That night, Shicheng and Liulin went out for a walk.

    Shicheng is a city that has seen more luxurious and splendid future generations. Naturally, he is indifferent to the Songjiang Mansion in front of him, but Liulin is different. This is the first time he has come here. Prosperous and prosperous, paper drunk and extravagant.

    From the street to the end of the street, almost every few steps, there are red kraft paper lanterns hanging on both sides of the gatehouse, plus the gas lanterns hanging at the entrance of each store, they are now walking this way The street can be described as brightly lit. Liu Lin felt that even at night in his own home, the street might not be as bright as this!

    The street they walked on was full of food, and the business was still very good. There were even a few dim sum shops lining up! Liu Lin had never seen it before, and there was a queue to buy food.

    Because I wanted to see if I could find a street selling silk, if I found it, I would see if the door was open, and go in to see what it was like, so the two of them did not rush back and turned around twice After the street, I saw a brighter street in front. This street is almost all three or four-story facades, and the top of the building is full of lanterns. The three or four floors above and below can almost give the night sky Lit up.

    Even Shicheng didn’t react. After all, he had never seen such a place before. When he saw it was bright as day and so lively, he was excited to walk in with Liu Lin.

    It took them all the way to the middle of the street to realize that this is actually a brothel! Because there are many women wearing gold and silver clothes on the street, and there are many red and green women. Although they did not wave their handkerchiefs to greet them coquettishly as they imagined, they even pulled them into their own buildings when they came up, but these women are not afraid of people. , seeing the two of them smiling sweetly at them, some even stood up, and some stood there enchantingly, staring at them with a pair of ecstatic eyes and laughing.

    As soon as Liu Lin reacted, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat! I can’t blame him, how could he have thought that he had come to such a place by accident! It was inevitable that he was a little flustered, and he pulled Shi Cheng and hurriedly turned around and walked back.

    The two walked back from this street, and Shi Cheng said: “I really took two steps, and I was stained with the smell of fat powder… Fortunately, Xu’er is not here!”

    Liu Lin shook his head: “You are still calm! I reacted suddenly, really… startled!”

    Shi Cheng laughed: “What are you scared of? It won’t look good if you walk around.” Although he said that he didn’t care, he really didn’t dare to turn around and went back to the inn with Liu Lin to rest. .

    On the second day, I started walking around the streets and alleys of Songjiangfu to check the silk shops. In addition to what I knew before, basically what kind of silk is fashionable this year, which kind sells the best, and the approximate selling price and purchase price, all of which are clear.

    Treasurer Qiu took Liu Lin and Shicheng to several large silk workshops in Songjiang Prefecture to see which one to buy. Their silk shop is newly opened and needs a lot of distribution. Therefore, within a few days, several workshops know that they are big customers. In the other smaller workshops, the stewards followed them all day long, treating guests to drinks, hoping to make the deal.

      On the day they were about to leave, they went to the workshop in the morning to load the goods into the car, and paid for the goods in one hand and delivered the goods in the other hand, so that the silk would be kept in their car for a shorter period of time and avoid too many problems.

    The business was negotiated, and the day before I left, the manager of the workshop with them, surnamed Fang, asked them to drink, hoping to keep doing business with them forever. In the future, Liu Lin’s shop will be able to use his silk if they want to buy goods.

      Liu Lin and Shi Cheng readily agreed.

    At night, Steward Fang came to pick them up in person. After turning two streets, I came to a place where Liulin and Shicheng looked familiar.

      Put it in the brothel. Shopkeeper Qiu also reminded in a low voice behind them: “The two masters eat and drink as usual, just like the previous two times. When they left, they only said that they might miss the business, so it’s enough not to stay here.”

    The steward Fang who was walking in front happened to turn around and said to them with a smile: “The two young masters, tonight is the big master of our workshop, not only two, but also one The ambassador of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau of the Pansi Yamen, as well as two other silk merchants. Let’s listen to the high speeches of the ambassador of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau when we go, and see how much benefit it can bring to our businessmen.”

    Liu Lin and Shicheng both nodded, and the two of them changed their minds and understood that the workshop owner wanted to show himself and the other two silk merchants. The relationship between the officials in the first section is also good. In order to show their strength, the last sentence naturally hopes that the two of them will talk less and listen more.

    Follow Steward Fang to the door of a brothel, Steward Fang entered, and a woman in her forties greeted him, smiled and salutes Steward Fang, Steward Fang turned around and introduced Liu Lin and Shicheng, the woman stepped forward and saluted with a smile. She was dressed in enchanting and gorgeous clothes, and her expression was also affectionate and natural, but she didn’t have the exaggerated hooking on her shoulders.

    The two of Shicheng had also met in the past two days, and smiled and nodded in return.

    The woman led the woman into the hall, walked through the hall, and came to the backyard. It was much quieter and not so bright. She walked along the hallway to a single-door courtyard. He stopped, smiled at the other butler and said, “It’s right here, the food and drinks are all ready. Since Master Meng doesn’t let irrelevant people come in casually, I won’t go in.” After speaking, he bowed down to the steward again. He said something in his ear.

    Steward Fang had that weird smile on his face, nodded and said, “Got it, that’s it! You go back.”

    The bustard left, and the steward here invited Shicheng, Liushu and Qiu shopkeepers into the yard and walked towards the main house. More than a dozen enchanting women stood at the door, and the large dining table was placed in the living room. It could be seen from the outside that it was already full of wine and vegetables.

    There were still three men sitting in the room, one in their twenties and two in their thirties. Because they were still waiting for them, they did not sit at the side of the meal, but sat under the window On the chair, several young women were sitting or standing beside them, and several men and women were laughing at each other, and their laughter was wretched.

    Liu Lin and Shi Cheng frowned. Naturally, the two of them were not used to such a situation. The two thought about it and walked over.

    Seeing them coming, one of the people in the room, one of them in his thirties, hurriedly greeted them, stood under the eaves and bowed their hands to them, Fang Steward smiled and said: ” This is the big owner of our workshop.”

    Shi Cheng, Liu Lin, and Shopkeeper Qiu all handed over to the big boss. Then Steward Fang introduced the three of them one by one. Seeing that the big boss came out, the two in the room came out, and Steward Fang introduced them. They were also businessmen, and they happened to have a deal with Steward Fang’s workshop. big business.

      Here, very close to the window. As soon as he stood still, the sound of gasping and moaning came from the window and entered Liu Lin’s ears.

    Liu Lin was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard it wrong, and shook his head, just as he was about to walk away, suddenly a louder wheezing came from the room, and it seemed that he had just reached a high position, man The woman’s voice screamed faintly, ah ah ah…

      window away…
