Chapter 59
Ling Xian'er is the new courtesan of Baihua Pavilion, but now she has become the madam of Cuiyun Tower. She is very miserable at this time, with her hair scattered and her mouth swollen and red. It seems that the traces had been wiped with her sleeves. She stood timidly in the corner of the most luxurious living room on the second floor. In addition to Ling Xian'er, there are more than ten other women who are just like her. Only Ling Xiang'er and her daughter are standing in the middle of the messy hall, with her feet covered with pieces of porcelain cups...
"Jump--"
Gao Yanei roared angrily, his eyes were red, no one dared to breathe loudly in the whole hall, and no one spoke out for persuasion, just at this moment...
"Yanei...Yanei..."
A shrill scream came into the hall, and the door was knocked open. Sun Er, whose head was wrapped in a zongzi, was about to cry out loud, but his feet suddenly slipped...
"thump."
"Ouch!"
Sun Er screamed, and fell heavily to the ground with his back and forks. Sharp pieces of porcelain cup pierced into his skin, and his scream became even more shrill. He was so dizzy that he opened his mouth and cursed.
"Which bastard made the floor..."
Sun Ergang cursed angrily, and realized something again, so he hurriedly closed his teeth and mouth.
"Yanei..."
Sun Er looked up at Gao Yanei with a purple bruise, but was filled with anger that was full of fire.
"roll--"
He roared angrily at the sky, and everyone bowed their heads unconsciously. The heavy breathing made the entire hall more solemn and depressed.
“Huhu…”
"It's all you... it's all you... If you didn't call the beauty in Hangzhou, if you hadn't provoked that damn female barbarian... how could I suffer such a great humiliation-"
Gao Yanei roared angrily, and his freedom and freedom all the way made him forget that there was a little tiger grinning in Hangzhou City. He was doing something wrong in Bianjing, but he only dared to provoke ordinary people. How could he dare to provoke the powerful and powerful who could really offend? What's more, he was the son of the Grand Tutor!
Thinking of Cai Jing's past and the strength of Cai Jing's sons, Gao Yanei regretted it very much, regretting that he was too careless and forgot that the little Wu of the Cai family was in Hangzhou City.
After suffering a huge loss, I felt so frustrated, but I also knew that some people could not afford to offend them at all. They sat alone in the main seat, and it took a long time to suppress their anger and look at Lingxian'er in the corner.
"That bastard..."
"Did the fifth young master really sank the human ship?"
Ling Xian'er with swollen cheeks dared not resist, lowered her head and squatted in a blessed gift, and said timidly: "Last year... there was indeed a boat collision last year, but... this matter... this matter is just an accident..."
"Bang!"
Gao Yanei slapped the table suddenly.
"Accident?"
The breath in the hall suddenly increased. Sun Er, who became San, was furious when he saw him, felt happy. He hurriedly walked forward with two steps, and tried hard to open the painful mouth and tongue like tearing.
"Yanei is right. It's definitely because that bastard deliberately hit someone else's ship. The government should investigate it strictly!"
"Strict investigation? How to investigate strictly?" Liu Tuzi, who was sitting beside him, smiled bitterly and said, "The miser Gu Qinniang is in Caifu Academy, how to investigate strictly?"
Liu Tuzi suffered from Cai Wei's loss and sighed: "Yanei should not provoke Xiaowu Yai. Hairui's business ship was just an accident. The miserable Gu Qinniang was in the Cai family's martial arts school. Even if it was not an accident, it could only be an accident. The Grand Tutor..."
"Wait, wait..."
Gao Yanei frowned.
"What's going on in the martial arts school?"
Liu Tuzi was stunned and said, "I heard that it was the school where the fifth yamen taught boys to practice martial arts. What exactly were taught... The villain was not very clear, he only knew that there were a hundred war horses in the school."
This world is an era of valuing culture over military affairs. The status of military men is extremely awkward. If it were not forbidden, no one would be willing to make a lifelong mark on his face. No one would have wanted to enter Caifu School to study. After it was changed to a school that specializes in teaching Bingluo, Hangzhou Wushu Primary School became even more garbage in everyone's eyes. Except for the scenery of a team of dolls riding horses every day, no one paid attention to anything about the Wushu Primary School, and he was not very clear about the content of the school teaching.
Gao Yanei nodded slightly as if he was thinking, and seemed to have grasped something in his mind. He wanted to hold it tightly, but found that he had not caught anything. He had no choice but to turn his head to look at Lu Qian who had been frowning and silently.
"Teacher Lu thought what should he do?"
Lu Qian looked at the slutty boy with his head down without saying a word, shook his head in his heart, and then smiled bitterly and laughed at himself, thinking about the person standing behind the child, thinking about the terrifying existence that makes people afraid, an existence that no one in the Song Dynasty could underestimate...
"Hangzhou City is not a place to stay for a long time, and the waterways are not very safe. It is best for Yanei to return to Beijing immediately."
Gao Yanei lamented in his heart, but he also knew that Lu Qian was right. Cai Yan dared to use a ship to kill someone again, so he dared to use a second accident. Even if Gao Qiu and Taiwei Gao really favored him, how could he dare to fight with the Taishi Mansion?
It's a strange thing. Gao Yanei likes to tease good women the most, but he is not interested in the prostitutes in the flower building. Even if Ling Xianger is like a courtesan, he doesn't want to pay attention to it. The more virtuous and kind a woman is, the more itchy she is in her heart, but once she gets the move, she is often abandoned by him.
When the sluts saw him get up, they could only leave with him dejectedly. The sluts thought that Hangzhou's beauty was the best in the world, but the beauty hadn't enjoyed it yet, but she was almost beaten to death by Cai Yan, and she was also the kind of frustration that she could only pinch her nose and recognize her after being beaten.
A group of tyrants were worried that Cai Yan would turn to revenge and put them all for fish and shrimps. But how could they know that Cai Yan had no interest in them at all. If he had definitely said he was interested, he was only interested in Gao Yanei who had been beaten. As for the reason...
"Anyway, I don't plan to go to Kaifeng, Bianjing, so what if I hit him."
Cai Yan suddenly said this sentence at the dinner table. Su Mei looked at him strangely. After thinking about it for a moment, she realized the cause and effect. While putting down the bowls and chopsticks, she wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "Taiwei Gao has three parents and children, and this person is the most favored, which shows that."
Cai Yan was stunned, looking at her with a faint smile.
"Some people look at the playboy who is not good at doing things, but if this is the case, how can they be valued by Gao Qiu? Could it be that Gao Qiu is really just a favorite minister of skill and a foolish and incompetent king?"
Cai Fei frowned slightly, knowing what changes would happen in the Song Dynasty in a decade or twenty years later, and knowing how future generations evaluate the current officials. This is really the case? A fool can really become an emperor of the Song Dynasty and a powerful minister of the Song Dynasty?
Cai Yan shook his head and said, "Although there were many playboys in the Song Dynasty, the big families often attach more importance to their offspring. If they really violate the law, it will become an excuse for others to impeach. Gao Taiwei is considered a person of the peak of power, and the child does not believe that he will let his offspring do whatever he wants..."
Speaking of this, I seemed to realize something and my brows frowned inexplicably.
"Is that liberty... a master who can make money? Is it another old Grand Master Cai?"
Su Mei put a green vegetable for him and put it in a bowl, but smiled and said nothing. Seeing her like this, Cai Yan found that her mouth was so bitter.
"The one who can make money is the master~"
Su Mei rubbed his head very dotingly and said with a smile: "No matter how much Gao Huan is, he dare not do anything about me. Even if Lao Cai doesn't like me, there is no reason to let others bully his son. Don't worry."
Cai Yan was speechless for a moment. He could understand the truth that his family could only bully his family and be consistent with the outside world. But listening to these words, he always felt uncomfortable, but that was the case. He also heard some other hidden meanings from the mouth of the grandmother Su.
"Old Cai won't complain to his mother again, right?"
Su Mei gave him a blank look and said with a smile: "It's not just a complaint, but even my mother was scolded. Old Master Cai was very dissatisfied with the Hairui Business Office watching the Cai family suffer damage, and was very dissatisfied with my son's establishment of a martial arts lecture school."
Cai Yan curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "He is still embarrassed to say he is dissatisfied. Who is the fault of the Cai family's business being damaged? Did he let his mother have a calm face and beg Zhang Yue'er to accept her mother's help?"
"It's true... I won't say anything about the caustic things I did, but I just pushed the mistakes on others. I was dissatisfied with the martial arts school... He did something that the people were satisfied with? The old bastard who shitted and didn't wipe his butt was just letting his family be in trouble with him!"
Cai Yan was very dissatisfied with Cai Jing's actions. Although he knew that he could not do anything to him, he still needed to shelter him from the wind and rain. Even though he knew, he still complained.
Su Mei sighed and rubbed his little head with a worried look on her face.
"Don't you say these words in front of others in the future and remember them?"
"Well. I saved my child. I just complained to my mother. But my mother didn't agree to him. If I separated, I would separate. He held the big family of the Song Dynasty and should know very well that business is business. If he was really dissatisfied and really wanted to use the government to block our necks, Hairui Business simply stopped doing Gangchen transportation business. We should follow the old ways and drive the sea to go to business!"
Listening to his words, Su Mei felt worried and was silent for a while before nodding slightly, rubbing his head again.
Cai Yan didn't want to admit it, and he knew that he enjoyed this unreserved pampering in his heart, and knew what she was worried about.
There are two conditions that merchants must meet when they go to business. One is to produce and manufacture goods that can be sold, and the other is to be willing to consume the vitality of goods. Jiangnan is rich because Jiangnan produces rice, silk, porcelain, salt, etc., which everyone loves. Merchants buy goods from Jiangnan, a production and manufacturing commodity base, and sell goods to the north through water and land to make money.
In the eyes of the Su family, there is no difference in essence whether it is land, river transport, or sea from sea to Shanghai. They are all sold to the north, and relying on the output of the goods in the south of the Yangtze River, which cannot avoid the Song Dynasty and countless officials in the south of the Yangtze River.
Cai Yan knew that Su Mei's concerns were not unreasonable, but what if the goods were not produced in the Song Dynasty? The place for sale was not in the Song Dynasty?
The Great Song Dynasty had high manufacturing technology and developed sea transportation, but it never crossed the west of Malacca. This was a very confusing thing. As I looked through the account books of my family, I became more and more familiar with the taxes of the Great Song Dynasty, and the original doubts became natural.
