Lin Xi lay on the water tank and looked at the goldfish inside. This kind of fish is so strange. It looks red and is afraid that people will not be able to see it in the water. I think they will not live a good life in rivers and lakes. It is so conspicuous that it is easy to be

Eat it.

My father Lin Shengyuan and a member came in from outside. When he saw Lin Xi, he shouted: "My son, I met an old friend today! Go out quickly to buy some wine and meat, let's drink wine!"

Lin Xi raised his head and saw a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties behind his father. He had a solid figure and a frosty face. If he hadn't been wearing a rich dress and looked luxurious, he would have thought he was a handyman. A servant behind him was carrying a back

salute.

Without further questions, Lin Xi went back to her room to withdraw the money and went out.

Watching Lin Xi go out, the outsider said, "Brother Lin's young master is really handsome. He just has a bit of a scent of beauty."

Lin Shengyuan said: "Brother Huang is so good at seeing it. This is my daughter, you once saw it when you were a child."

After hearing this, Mr. Huang couldn't help but sigh: "So this is your little lady? I didn't look like this when I was a child! I was a daughter, no wonder she was so beautiful. She was wearing men's clothes and was a bit heroic."

Lin Shengyuan sighed: "From the south of Bianjing, the wars were in chaos all the way, so he had to let her wear men's clothes. Oh, in that year, who dared to let her daughter wear women's clothes? It would be better to be here in Xiangyang, everything is peaceful."

Mr. Huang nodded repeatedly: "Xiangyang is peaceful! I have walked in many places, and no other place is more peaceful than here!"

While the two of them were talking, Lin Shengyuan took the chair and sat down under the persimmon tree.

Lin Xi went out, took a purse and walked quickly on the street. The new meeting was printed two days ago and the bank was opened. Wang Zhan was very satisfied and even gave Lin Xi and the other three rewards, so he asked him to

They have a few days off, and there is a new generation.

Looking at the abortions coming and going on the streets, Lin Xi sometimes thought that such a life is really good. Compared to the wandering years in previous years, although Xiangyang is not rich, he has no worries about food and clothing, so he no longer has to worry about it.

After buying wine and meat, Lin Xi looked up on the way home. The sun had already set in the west and turned red. He turned around and saw that the moon had already flashed from the sky to the east. A red sun and a clear sky

The moon, people live in the middle, and this world is actually quite interesting.

When I entered the door, I saw my father and the outsider sitting under the persimmon tree, drinking tea and chatting.

When he saw Lin Xi coming back, his father said, "Daughter, this one is Mr. Huang. He met you when he was a child. Come and salute."

Lin Xi came to the two of them and bowed. But he couldn't remember this Huang Yuanwai in his heart, and he couldn't remember when he had seen him.

My father said, "Today I was wandering around the street market and happened to meet Mr. Huang. When we were in Kaifeng Prefecture, we were old friends, so we didn't expect to meet in Xiangyang! We invited him to have a drink of wine and talk about old things. You go and cook,

Cook more rice by the way.”

Lin Xi agreed to go to the kitchen to work hard. Today, Li Tang and Li Di went to the Hanshui River to visit and should not be eating at home.

Mr. Huang looked around and said to Lin Shengyuan: "Although your place is small, it is clean, which is very rare. There are countless people from the north in Xiangyang City now, and it is not easy to find a place to live!"

Lin Shengyuan said: "What we are talking about is that there are two attendants from the calligraphy and painting academy who live here with my father and daughter. They worked for the yamen, and after the help of the yamen, we found this place."

"It's rare, rare!" Huang Yuanwai exclaimed repeatedly. "It's a blessing that his life has finally stabilized after escaping in the past few years."

Lin Shengyuan sighed for a while and asked, "Where is the official in this place? What business is it? I see you are so busy that you are from afar."

Mr. Huang said: "After the city of Kaifeng was broken, I followed the Jin people to the north. Now Daming Mansion. I have lived a stable life in the past few years, and I have been taking care of my nobles, and my life is still acceptable. In order to make a living, I am now doing cloth business."

Lin Shengyuan nodded and asked again: "Although there are many cloths in Xiangyang, they are not outstanding. The staff must sell good cloths, and go to Shandong."

Mr. Huang shook his head repeatedly after hearing this. Looking at Lin Shengyuan, he smiled and said, "You live in Xiangyang, don't you know that a good cloth has been released in Xiangyang recently? A few days ago, some merchants sold some to the north, both men, women and common people, all of them.

I was so happy."

Lin Shengyuan was stunned: "Although Xiangyang has sericulture and hemp, silk cloth is not very good. What other cloth can make people like it?"

"Cotton cloth!" Mr. Huang took a sip of tea and said two words lightly.

Lin Shengyuan was confused: "Xiangyang produces cotton cloth? Why haven't you heard of it before?"

Mr. Huang smiled and said, "It's not unusual. This cloth is new this year and the price is extremely expensive. How can ordinary people know?"

Lin Shengyuan nodded. Looking at Mr. Huang's expression, he understood something in his heart. He said, "Mr. Wait comes to Xiangyang, are you going to sell cotton cloth?"

Huang Yuanwai couldn't help but sigh: "Now the north and the south are fighting, business is not so easy to do. I have my own way to transport the goods to Daming Mansion. Unfortunately, the cotton cloth here in Xiangyang cannot be bought casually, it must be a person from the Southern Dynasty.

.”

"So that's it." Lin Shengyuan understood why Mr. Huang was particularly enthusiastic about him. After thinking about it carefully, today's encounter may not be accidental. Mr. Huang looked inconspicuous and business was not ordinary.

figure.

Soon, Lin Xi packed up the wine and food and brought it out and placed it on the table.

Mr. Huang said: "Since there are no outsiders, my niece will just drink a glass of wine together."

Lin Shengyuan waved his hands repeatedly: "Why do you drink with someone at a girl's house? We just eat, not care about her."

After saying that, he poured wine for Mr. Huang and toasted each other.

After drinking for three rounds, Mr. Huang said, "Brother Xian is now in Xiangyang City, what does it take to make a living?"

Lin Shengyuan said: "Now, the most in Xiangyang city is people. How difficult is it to find a job? Now I only rely on my daughter to work in the yamen, and I will pay a few chunks of money to serve as a food for our father and daughter."

Mr. Huang said, "Where are women in the yamen here?"

Lin Shengyuan said: "My daughter is very good at writing, which is very common. So she found an errand."

Mr. Huang nodded and praised Lin Xi. After drinking two glasses of wine, he said to Lin Shengyuan: "Brother Xian, you and I are both businessmen, why are you sitting at home now? Do some business and make some money to use, not more

good?"

Lin Shengyuan said: "It is a blessing that our father and daughter can survive until now. I have neither capital nor my own path, so how can I do business? In Xiangyang Prefecture, there are countless people living here in the two capitals.

, business is not easy to do.”

Mr. Huang: "To be honest, I have a good business here. Brother Xian is willing. How can we make a fortune together?"

Seeing that Lin Shengyuan didn't say anything, Mr. Huang said, "The cotton cloth from Xiangyang Prefecture is sold to the northerners for no reason. Brother Xian can buy it and resell it to me. I will transport it to the northern world. In this way, both of us

Isn’t this business good to make money?”

Lin Shengyuan thought for a while and said, "The government is not allowed to sell it to the northerners. It must have its own reasons. How dare I do this business?"

Mr. Huang shook his head repeatedly: "It's okay. I asked, after the customer bought the cotton cloth, the government doesn't care about what you want to deal with. If you buy it, resell it, and the government won't care."

Lin Shengyuan sighed: "To be honest, after these years, I am not like when I was in Kaifeng Prefecture, and I earn money if I have money. If I am not careful in this kind of business, it is the sin of beheading. If the official is really in this way
