The Qinhuai River shows enchanting beauty. When you get on the shore and step on the ground, you feel another kind of grand and lively atmosphere.

Liu Yu was in a hurry to go on this trip, and he didn't buy much goods, all of which were specialties from the north, and many of them were from the grassland. The rice family's goods were very uniform, including rice and grain in sacks.

Outside the warehouse, Mi Rucheng was not very concerned about watching the in charge of the company directing the unloading of the ship. After all, the Mi family’s grain was the first batch, less than 10% of the total amount. The autumn grain will be shipped to Jiangnan one after another within the next one or two months. He will stay in Jiangnan until the end of the year and return home during the New Year.

Mi Rucheng looked at Liu Yu who was absent-minded, and thought he was yearning for the wind and moon of the Qinhuai River, and asked with a smile: "When will Brother Fang return to the north?"

"It depends on whether the local goods can be purchased in Jiangnan, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the season when the autumn silkworms are spinning silk, we must stay for a while."

"Since you are not in a hurry to leave, don't stay in the inn. Look for a courtyard around, which is more convenient to live in." Mi Rucheng said, "You don't know that people in Jiangnan are very concerned about people's business. If you don't know, they will not sell them no matter how high the price is. I happen to be familiar with some officials in Jiankang City. Then I will introduce you to Brother Fang, and the goods and money will come."

Liu Yu nodded.

He understood what Mi Rucheng meant. As the most important rice and grain reserve today, Huaidi attached great importance to it. For big rice and grain households like the Mi Family, Huainan had special officials responsible for reception and storage. Every year, most of the rice was bought by the King of Huai to reserve in wartime. The Mi Family had a wide connection and was also a business that was stable and profitable.

When I first arrived in Jiankang, I was still at night. I had no place to stay, so I had to temporarily stay in the inn. Such a large caravan is often the biggest source of tourists for Jiankang City Inn. All the porters and friends were unable to accommodate a large inn, so people with a little status in the caravan would find another similar inn and pause. Mi Rucheng was about to give in a few words and took Liu Yu out to enjoy the romance.

"Madam, let's go together." Liu Yu said to Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuanzhu Wan'er smiled and took out the clothes from her bag to clean up. She said, "When you go and find happiness, how can you make a woman beside you? You go and go early and come back soon."

As the journey was exhausted, Xu Xuanzhu was also reminding him to come back early to rest.

Liu Yu leaned forward and said a few words in Xu Xuanzhu's ear. Xu Xuanzhu's face turned red immediately. Lu Chu'er widened her eyes and nodded when she saw her general. Could it be that the couple was talking privately?

Liu Yu explained his doubts and said, "Chu'er, change into men's clothes. Go out with us."

When he was away, Liu Yu no longer called Lu Chu'er "Lu Shiwei", but called him his name directly. Only then did Lu Chu'er realize that his son-in-law was asking their generals to travel with men's clothing, and nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay."

It is also very novel to her. She can tell the story of the Fengyue of the Qinhuai River and see the local singers and dancers. When she goes back, she can talk to the little sisters for a long time.

Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu, who was dressed in men's clothing, came out, and Mi Rucheng still explained the final matter to the housekeeper, roughly speaking, to contact the officials of Jiankang City and prepare to hold a banquet two miles later.

It is said that it is a banquet, but it is actually a disguised gift. The location will be a famous restaurant in Jiankang City. Each person will also give a red envelope, and there are banknotes in Huai land. Although the red envelope is thin, it will not be too light. At this banquet, famous Kabuki performances in Jiankang City will also be invited, and there will be a fun show afterwards. Because officials are not allowed to stay in prostitution, they can only change the location.

The Mi family has been doing business for generations and has experienced dealing with officials. Banquets like this are indispensable every year, and it is necessary to innovate to let those officials come back to their fullest. Officials remember the goodness of their Mi family, so that the Mi family's business opportunities will be wider in the future.

"Sister-in-law wants to walk with you, too?"

Mi Rucheng turned around and found that Xu Xuan was wearing men's clothes and couldn't help asking.

Liu Yu smiled and said, "I am a northern woman. It's not a problem to carry a gun and get on the horse when Hu Yi robbed him. He is not too polite to behave in etiquette. Brother Mi, please forgive me."

For women in ordinary families, not to mention "carrying a gun and getting on the horse", they only have regular rules and regulations to be women in the boudoir. Mi Rucheng praised: "My sister-in-law, I admire you!"

Although he said he didn't mind, Mi Rucheng actually minded very much. He thought that Fang Zhaoping must be a "wife-controlled person" and even went out to look for flowers and ask Mrs. Liu to monitor him. He couldn't help but feel disappointed.

After all, if there is only a man, you can play a lot of tricks in the pleasure boat. If a woman is present, she will definitely be difficult to enjoy herself.

But Mi Rucheng didn't say it after all. In his opinion, Liu Yu is worthy of winning. There are few Central Plains merchants doing business with the Hu people in the north. In this way, merchants who have contact with Hu merchants can obtain information from the north, and more or less have contact with the Turks and border guards, and can obtain goods that others cannot obtain, and take some "extraordinary" channels. This is very tempting for Mi Rucheng who is preparing to open up ways to do a big battle.

The income that can transport rice, grain or other goods to the Turks is much richer than that of transporting them to Jiangnan.

In Liu Yu's words, the benefits of domestic transportation cannot be compared with cross-border transportation.

Because Mi Rucheng often came to Jiangnan and knew a lot about Jiankang City, he was the master of the current romance, and Liu Yu was a guest. Along the way, Mi Rucheng was also enthusiastic about the local specialties to Liu Yu and his wife, including food, drink, entertainment, or beautiful scenery.

In the hazy night, there are lanterns on the river bank, and the river water reflects the brilliant Qinhuai River, which is also charming. Liu Yu was also looking at the surrounding terrain. If you want to arrange an intelligence network, the land of wind and moon is the best place to obtain information, so he also asked Yang Lie and others to accompany him and wait for an opportunity to catch up. Wu You and Liu Yu were not prepared to bring this old guy who was halfway through the soil to embarrass him.

When he arrived at the pleasure boat that cursed the maid before, Mi Rucheng looked up and looked at it. There was no guest, so he wanted to break in. Before he could enter, he was stopped. He looked closely and saw that the maid who was cursing the man was just now. He stared at her eyes, very fiercely, and looked like Lu Chu'er's majestic appearance.

"What do you want?"

The little maid thought they were here to take revenge, so she was not as polite as she was entertaining guests. She spread her arms and blocked the door, as if she spread her wings to protect her chick's old hen.

"Call your madam out!" Mi Rucheng said angrily.

Hearing that it was the northern accent, the little maid deliberately lowered her speech. After speaking for a while, Liu Yu roughly understood that the little maid meant that the maid was not on the boat, but on other pleasure boats. Liu Yuxin said that the maid was still a rich wife and had a lot of industry. Usually such a pleasure boat was the whole of a water brothel. There were several girls on the pleasure boat, and they would marry a few more years and then change a few more, year after year.

Mi Rucheng felt his face was dull and there was a vague sign of beating people. A window was opened on the second floor of the pleasure boat. The woman had her head exposed again and said in a very pure and honest northern dialect: "Several guests from afar, I am not willing to entertain you, just because this boat has been ordered tonight. Please find another place to enjoy yourself."

His words are reasonable and well-founded, and so beautiful, made Mi Rucheng's eyes wide open. It seems that he is not ready to give up. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.m.. Reading.)
