"Isn't it all Haigong's trouble?" Shopkeeper Fang said softly: "We're okay, many restaurants will close directly." I heard that even the business of those painting boats and river buildings on the banks of the Qinhuai River has been greatly affected, and many female historians have no choice but to go to Hangzhou and Yangzhou to make a living. ”

"So exaggerated?" Zhao Gongzi couldn't help but gasp, he didn't expect that Haigong's power was so terrifying that it could scare rich people into not consuming......

Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot?

"There may be some misunderstanding here." He nodded helplessly and said, "If you look back, my son will find a way, and it should be back to normal soon." ”

"That's a good feeling." Shopkeeper Fang and Tang Siya breathed a sigh of relief, if this depression continues, let alone opening a branch, even the old store will lose money.

~~

Yangzhou Dongguan Wharf.

As the shopkeeper Fang said, in order to avoid the limelight of Haigong, the famous prostitutes in Jinling have turned to the north and south.

Most of them went to Yangzhou. After all, Hangzhou in this era is still weaker, and it is not as good as Yangzhou City, where salt merchants gather.

Since yesterday, one after another, the flower boats have arrived in Yangzhou, moored on the moat and waiting for high rollers to come to the door.

Yangzhou City really became a sensation.

Although Yangzhou's sound and color industry is very developed, it is still not comparable to Qinhuai River after all.

Hearing that Zheng Yanru, Qi Jingyun, Jing Pianpian, and Zhu Taiyu were like thunderous Qinhuai famous prostitutes, the salt merchants were all red-eyed.

On weekdays, it is difficult to go to the Oiran River Tower with a thousand golds in hand, but now the Oiran takes the initiative to send it to the door, and the salt merchants do not take the opportunity to go all over the Oiran, I am really sorry for the great favor of the Haizhong Gang.

Even Zou Yinglong, the dignified salt patrol capital, couldn't sit still, he also wanted to meet Qin Huai Oiran for a while, and he had a long-cherished wish in his life.

But Zou Zhongcheng is a dignified hero, an iron-clad positive character, how can he let his subordinates arrange female votes for female Chang? Doesn't that make them look down on themselves?

Although he just wants to drink tea with Zheng Yanru, listen to her play the song "Butterfly Loves Flowers", and then talk about life and ideals, he can't stand the dirty thoughts of the people below!

So when drinking tea with Zhao Liben, he vaguely put forward his needs.

Old Man Zhao was tired to death in his heart. Grandma's, actually let Lao Tzu be a three-grade waiter, although he is retired, pimping for your juniors, you can really open your mouth!

But who let the family take charge of the salt politics in Jiangnan and Jiangxi? Zhao Liben relied on him a lot, and he just owed someone a personal favor before, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

~~

Sitting in the carriage, looking at the double-decker painting boat parked on the dock, Zhao Liben sighed helplessly.

Alas, the adult world is so full of helplessness and filth.

Especially for an old gentleman who has not moved, how cruel is this?

"But, sir, can't you go by yourself?" His cheap brother-in-law, Ye Xixian, sat aside and said helplessly:

"How can you hold my head up in front of Miss Zheng in the future?"

If a big salt merchant pimps others, he can't be equal to Oiran in terms of personality.

"Am I shameless?" Zhao Liben rolled his eyes.

"It's useless if you want it......" Ye Xixian muttered quietly.

"The wings are stiff, aren't they? Don't listen to Lao Tzu's words anymore?! Zhao Liben's eyes widened, and Ye Xixian hurriedly raised his hand to surrender.

"Rest the anger and stop the anger, I'll go, I'll go, can't you?"

Ye Da Salt Merchant was helpless, picked up the hat of the sea dragon and buckled it on his head, and got out of the carriage slowly.

He was about to make his way to the largest and most beautiful boat, when he heard a shrill gong ringing.

"The government has an order, within a stick of incense, all the painting boats and flower boats will leave immediately, and they are not allowed to stay, and the offenders will be punished heavily!" The officials of Yangzhou Mansion shouted loudly while beating the gong, resounding through the north and south of the wharf.

"What's the matter? What a situation! The high rollers on the ship asked.

"Don't ask, leave quickly!" The officials who nodded their heads on weekdays put on a straight face and said officially: "When the time comes, don't blame you for being polite!" ”

"Let's go to Slender West Lake." As soon as the high rollers heard that the limelight was wrong, they knew that there must be a big man coming, so no one talked nonsense anymore.

After a while, the boats sailed away from the shore.

~~

Ye Yanshang, who was standing on the dock, helplessly watched Zheng Yanru's painting boat gradually move away, and asked the leading pusher: "Lord Liu, who is sacred, so you can't see a beautiful woman?" ”

Because on the huge wharf, there are obviously many civilian boats, but they have not been driven away by officials.

"I'm confused too." Liu Tuiguan smiled bitterly: "I have never received such a strange order, not to disturb the people, only to drive the female historians away." ”

"Could it be that the lady of the first family came to catch the adulterer?" Ye Xixian suddenly thought of a possibility.

"I really don't know, Ye Yuanwai." Liu Tuiguan whispered: "Why don't you go and ask Fuzun." ”

"I'm all right, am I done?" Ye Yanshang pursed his lips, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu really seemed to have nothing to do.

"There it is." Liu Tuiguan pointed with his chin to an ordinary carriage in the distance. "Madame is here too."

"Huh?" Ye Yanshang became more and more strange, but he didn't expect the prefect's wife to come together.

Seeing that Fuzun and his wife are so low-key, he won't be stupid enough to really ask, what are you two doing?

After a few polite words with Liu Tuiguan, Ye Xixian went back to his carriage.

I saw that Zhao Liben had already gotten out of the car and was looking at the river with his back hand.

"Your Excellency, did you see that?"

"Lao Tzu is not blind." Zhao Liben snorted and said, "I want to see who has such a big score and actually let the old man run for nothing." ”

"It shouldn't be an adult, Bacheng is a personal friend of Governor Lou's mansion, otherwise how could he come by carriage?" Ye Yanshang guessed: "It should be that his wife has an opinion." ”

"Nonsense." Zhao Liben said lightly: "What kind of friend needs two people to go to the dock to greet them together?" ”

He suddenly thought of a possibility, and his face was extremely ugly.

"What's wrong, sir?" Ye Xixian asked hurriedly.

"It's okay, the old man scared himself." Zhao Liben said, turned around and got into the carriageway: "Let's go to the car and see, it's strange cold outside." ”

"Okay." Ye Yanshang looked at the back of his cheap brother-in-law, and saw that he was trembling slightly, and he didn't know if it was because of fear or fear?

Ye Yanshang became more and more curious, I don't know where that person is sacred, can bluff the old man Zhao who is not afraid of the sky and the earth?

Fortunately, I didn't wait long, and I saw a group of official ships slowly sailing on the canal to the north without any flags.

Governor Lou hurriedly got out of the carriage and respectfully came to the dock with his wife to wait.

Although the two of them were wearing casual clothes, it could be seen from their restrained body posture that they must be indescribably noble.

In a few moments, the official ship docked, and countless men in strong suits came down. There were also some white-faced and beardless men who got off the boat carrying several empty sedan chairs.

After he was ready to stop, he saw a middle-aged servant woman with an extraordinary temperament, helping a beautiful young woman with a beautiful national color and fragrance, and slowly walked out of the cabin.

ps. The third more, I went to bed early with eye medicine, I hope my eyes will be better tomorrow, at least pay off the debt.
