Chapter 14: The Second Son

Jin Liang pouted at the scholars Nunu and whispered, "Look, that young man in an embroidered robe is the eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Chen." ”

Liu Han naturally knew that there were details of Gu Shuo in the information provided by the palace, including the situation of his son and daughter, in the past few days, he had wandered around the city and secretly went to see it, these two brothers were the same and different from Qiu Gelu, the same thing, both of them didn't like to study, but Qiu Gelu was already full of wealth, these two people were just half a bottle of vinegar, but they were full of celebrities everywhere, but as soon as they met a child of a high-grade family like Lu Yulu, the two immediately became modest.

Looking at Gu Chen's slightly reserved expression, Liu Han knew that most of this group of people were ordinary people.

"This Gu Shuo is still blessed, and the two sons are also famous, if they participate in this year's tasting, they should have something to gain. Jin Liang said appreciatively.

Liu Han nodded in agreement, and said in an envious tone: "Family lineage, this Gu Shuo can be regarded as a successor." ”

"It's all boys, and their lives are good. Jin Liang said.

Liu Han said again: "Taizu set the national policy that the gate lord clan is not allowed to do business, but now, which gate lord clan in the world does not do business, this Yangzhou is not bad, go to Jizhou to see, the Wang family Xu Jia Tian family, a half of the city, restaurants, inns, warehouses, workshops, all business is theirs, we ordinary people, business is slightly better, either forced to sell to them, or get into a lawsuit, even if my family, how much care it takes, barely maintained." ”

Hearing this, Jin Liang's mood suddenly fell, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, who knows how much of Taizu's national policy is left now." ”

The two of them sighed for a long time, and Gu Chen was still boasting and eloquent.

After chatting for a long time, Jin Liang was very familiar with the merchants in Yangzhou, and knew the background of each business well, and many things were not provided by the information in the palace, which gave Liu Han a new understanding of the business community in Yangzhou.

The branches of Hanhai Trading Company in various places have the task of collecting intelligence, but the time for the establishment of the branches in various places is too short, and they can only collect some business information, and there is very little information about the gate valve family, and moreover, Lao Huang is forbidden to report hearsay information, so there is very little information in Jiangnan.

Coming out of the teahouse, Jin Liang's interest was still very high, and Liu Han felt that there was nothing wrong, so the two of them walked slowly along the street, turned a street, and saw a Qinglou surrounded by scholars.

"Hehe, a newcomer has made his debut. Jin Liang smiled and watched the scholars meditating, and he also leaned over.

In front of the gate of the green building, there is a couplet: "The wind is still falling." ”

"Interesting, interesting," Jin Liang came out and said continuously, and when he came back, he told Liu Han, Liu Han smiled, didn't care, his eyes fell on a thoughtful scholar on the side, it was a coincidence, it was Gu Heng, the second son of the Gu family, Gu Heng looked twenty-five or six, he looked very thin, and his eyebrows were quite delicate.

"Oh, it's the girl who chooses a son-in-law. Liu Han said with a smile, not all newcomers in Qinglou come to this trick, just like when Qingjin debuted, she didn't come here, she already has a lot of fame with her piano skills.

Before the official debut, the Qinglou girl has a period of cameo stage, this time is as long as one year, as short as half a year, in this half a year, the Qinglou girl has to play her own fan group, among which there must be a big financier, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain her position in the Qinglou, but if there is a fan group, there are flaws, maybe the Qinglou is not satisfied, or it may be that the Qinglou girl is not satisfied, so such a public ceremony will be held, on the one hand, the Qinglou girl will pick the gold owner, on the other hand, it is also to give the Qinglou a reputation.

It must be said that the conditions for the Qinglou and the Qinglou girl who dare to do this are very good, otherwise no one comes, or the people who come are not enough, it will not make people laugh to death.

"Dude, do you want to try. Jin Liang asked casually with a smile.

"I have that ability," Liu Han also replied casually: "There are all well-educated people here, how dare I make a mistake." ”

Gu Ergongzi raised his head and looked at the two of them slightly, but he didn't pay attention to them, still bowing his head and thinking.

Just thinking about it, there was a commotion at the door, and the two women carried out another plaque, with a red paper pasted on it, Liu Han's eyes were good, and he could see clearly at a glance, there was still a couplet on it: "Helpless flowers fall"

"My girl has another pair, helpless to let the flowers fall, and please ask your sons to make the next couplet, you can enter the building and listen to the music with my girl. ”

"Triple entry!" Jin Liang muttered to himself, all the scholars were even more excited, some people had already written a couplet, and handed it to the little girl waiting on the side, and the little girl did not read it;

Triple entry, is out of three couplets, only all on the top, can get started, this is a test for the scholars, for the Qinglou girl is a test, the general Qinglou women are out of a couplet, but this Qinglou girl actually out of the triptych.

This couplet must be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, such as the first two couplets, which are already very exquisite, and it is not easy to come up, but if they are right, whether it is Qinglou or Shizi, they will be famous, and it will be of great help to the upcoming autumn products.

"Who is recruiting a son-in-law today?" Jin Liang couldn't help but ask, the second son of the Gu family looked up at him and said, "You don't know this, this is Jinselou, naturally it is Ziyan Girl." ”

"Isn't Jinselou a red girl?" Jin Liang asked, Gu Heng said: "Yanhong girl only won the fifth place last year, this purple smoke girl is a girl from Jinselou, who participated in the Oiran competition this year. ”

"Oh, that's right," Jin Liang smiled, and then looked at the couplet at the door: "The wind is still falling; ”

"This and that," Gu Heng couldn't help but say with some disdain: "This purple smoke girl is a poetry and book, especially good at writing poems, and like a flower like jade, this Oiran contest is a popular candidate for the top three, alas, this wind is the rain, the flowers are the leaves, and the rain is wet." ”

"It's not proper, it's not proper, this leaf is still wet and the flower is still there, it's not right, change the leaf to shake gently, it's more appropriate. A soldier next to him immediately answered.

"The rain and the leaves sway. Gu Heng muttered to himself: "The wind is still falling, and the rain and leaves are swaying." Well, this is okay, Brother Wen, this is for you, hurry up. ”

The gentleman muttered to himself, feeling that it was okay, and humilly squeezed into the crowd. Liu Han laughed secretly in his stomach when he listened, this wind and flowers are still falling, which means to move in stillness, and this rain and falling leaves are swaying, it is moving in motion, the artistic conception of the two does not match, and this battle is not neat.

"Okay, that's right," Jin Liang complimented: "Second son, that's right!"

Liu Han couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard this, this Jin Liang really knew how to be a person, he smiled and said: "There is movement in this stillness, and there is stillness in movement, which is really difficult." ”

Gu Heng turned his head to look at Liu Han in a little surprise, Liu Han smiled at him, and secretly praised in his heart, this Gu Heng is not a straw bag, he is scheming enough, he has already seen that there is a problem with the couplet, okay, this person seems to be able to deal with.

"This brother, it seems that he has read books for a few days, how about the pair? Gu Heng smiled at Liu Han and said.

"There, there, I'm just curious, in Xia Wuxiong, I've seen the second son. Liu Han clasped his fists at Gu Heng and saluted.

Gu Heng nodded slightly, replied casually, and asked with a smile, "Where did Brother Wu come from?"

"Under the Pengcheng, come here to buy. ”

"What kind of business does Brother Wu do?"

"Cloth, I'm thinking about getting on there. Liu Han appropriately showed a flattering smile, and Jin Liang immediately interjected: "Brother Wu's Guangshunyuan is the largest cloth merchant in Pengcheng, and I am telling him that the cloth of your account is good and the price is fair, let him buy goods on your account." ”

As soon as Gu Heng heard that it was cloth, he immediately changed his expression and became enthusiastic: "It turns out that Brother Wu is making cloth, so dare to be kind, I don't know how much goods to buy?"

"This Yangzhou, I am the first time to come, I dare not enter more, I plan to advance a hundred horses, if the sales are good, after the spring next year, a large number of purchases. Liu Han replied cautiously, strictly speaking, a hundred horses is not much, it can even be said that it is very few, only more than five hundred horses can be regarded as a large business, a hundred horses, and the shopkeeper does not need to come forward.

Gu Heng didn't know what Guang Shunyuan was, so he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Do business, you should be cautious, you should be, I don't know what kind of cloth Brother Wang wants, let's go over there and talk, this place is suitable for windy and snowy nights." ”

Gu Heng grabbed Liu Han and pulled him forward, leaving the purple smoke girl alone.

"Brother Wu, find my Gu family, the vision is absolutely good, my family's cloth is made in the Jiangnan workshop, my workshop is a veteran, there are seven or eight years of experience, no matter the style or the quality is absolutely no problem, not to mention anything else, take it back to make clothes, wear it for three years, it will never break. ”

Gu Evergrande bragged loudly, without feeling embarrassed at all, and he was very proud.

Liu Han nodded: "Brother Jin said the same just now, however, I have been to the imperial capital and seen the goods of Hanhai Trading Company, to be honest, I really haven't seen that goods before, but their goods are scheduled to go next year." ”

"Hanhai Trading Company," Gu Heng said and nodded: "I have also seen their goods, to be honest, my family is not as good as my family, however, their goods are not strong, and they will be worn for two years at most, besides, isn't this Hanhai Trading Company undecided, let me tell you, next year, my family will be associated with Hanhai Trading Company, and when the time comes, you come again, the goods I give you will definitely be as good as those of the Imperial Capital Hanhai Trading Company." ”

Gu Heng chattered, Liu Han and Jin Liang followed him, the two of them couldn't interject at all, but they both knew that he was bragging, Hanhai Trading Company was looking for a cloth partner in Yangzhou, the cloth merchants in Yangzhou heard about it, and they were all ready to grab this business, and many businesses were already in contact with Hanhai Trading Company, but before this matter was skimmed, this Gu Heng dared to brag, and their Gu family was going to cooperate with Hanhai Trading Company. 2k reading web
