Since getting acquainted with Gou Qing, the closer we get to know each other, the more Feng Sheng feels that this person is unfathomable. But his words are not unreasonable, no matter where the salt from Taizhou comes from, if it passes under his nose, you have to pay for the road.

The Salt Gang cooperates with major salt merchants and is responsible for transporting the salt to the corresponding ports, which is another income.

But Feng Sheng was worried, always feeling that things were not that simple. Because things are progressing so smoothly, if things go on like this, the rampant flood of private salt will cause the official salt to be seriously unsalable. To a certain extent, today will definitely not sit idly by, and her goal will be half achieved.

But for a while, she couldn't figure out what was the key to it. Being courteous for nothing is either adultery or robbery. Now Feng Sheng doesn't think that Gou Qing is still that prodigal who covets her. She even felt that the skin of the prodigal son this time was all a disguise made by the other party.

However, she is not any better than the other party, it is just that they each have their own ulterior motives.

"Brother Gou is very wise!"

"It's not as good as brother Fengfu." Gou Qing gave her a meaningful look.

The appearance of Jin Fu interrupted the conversation between the two.

Dressed in a brocade robe with money and python patterns, he has a fat body, like a moving golden mountain. Five of the ten fingers wear rings, fully interpreting the wealth of the salt merchants.

"I have ordered someone to prepare a guest house, you two can stay here for a while, I dare not say anything else, at least my garden is built to perfection."

After this banquet, it was getting dark outside, Gou Qing and Feng Sheng did not refuse, and they were taken down by servants to resettle them.

Because Feng Sheng didn't like to be served, he waved away a group of servant girls. After she took a bath, she disguised herself again and walked out of the bathroom.

But he found a beautiful woman sitting on his bed.

"You are?"

"I'm here to serve the young master."

Having said that, the other party sat still, and some were even reluctant. A little girl stood beside her, winking at her again and again, but she didn't seem to see it.

Feng Sheng became interested, and waved the maid back, and before the little maid went down, she looked at her own girl worriedly.

Feng Sheng went to the chair and sat down, the tea on the table was still not cold, she drank it with great interest. After being quiet for a while, the other party lost his temper and said, "What do you want to do, do it quickly, anyway, I don't plan to go back in one piece."

It was said as if she was a man-eating tiger.

Feng Sheng became interested and put down the teacup: "Which girl from the Huang family are you?"

The little beauty is finally willing to give Feng Sheng a straight look.

"how do you know?"

"Your clothes, and your maid."

The little beauty smiled, and said: "I'm not an upright girl from the Huang family, but a daughter of my father's outlaw. There is a ranking, but it's just a title, and I can't compare with the upright Huang family girls. But even if it's a decent girl, it's not a tool to be used."

She murmured the last sentence, full of resentment and sarcasm.

"Oh? Then I don't know how to call the girl?"

"You can call me Nineteen."

Uh, what's that called.

Nineteen rolled his eyes: "I am ranked nineteen."

Huang Jinfu has so many daughters? Well, anyway, Feng Sheng was a little surprised.

"I still don't know why Miss Nineteen came here today?"

Nineteen stood up and sat down opposite Feng Sheng.

"Are you really ignorant or are you pretending to be ignorant? My father sent me here because he wanted to win over you. You should be very honored. If you don't value it very much, my father would not be willing to let his daughter out. I am my father's most important thing." Beloved daughter." Nineteen raised his chin and said.

Feng Sheng was amused by her, she was still a little girl.

"Since your father loves you the most, why did he send you out?"

Nineteen's face was stiff, and he said: "My father knows that you are not married yet, after tonight, you have to marry me back. But let me tell you first, although I am not a decent girl from the Huang family, I grew up pampered and respected. Yes, if you are too poor to support me, I will be laughed to death by the twenty girls."

Feng Sheng guessed that 'Twenty and the others' were Nineteen's sisters, and then she felt very helpless when she was suddenly forced into marriage.

"Miss Nineteen, I have no intentions for you."

Nineteen raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "You actually don't like me?"

Don't look at her as a delicate and weak girl, but she looks a bit fierce when she raises her eyebrows.

"I'm the prettiest of the maiden sisters!"

"No, no, Xiaosheng is not saying that the nineteenth girl is not good-looking, but that the marriage of a man and a woman is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can there be no matchmaker? Besides, I am not familiar with the girl, so we are talking about marriage so quickly. Talking about marriage is child's play."

As she said that, Feng Sheng sighed slightly: "Nineteen girls, but what's going on at home, otherwise why would it be like this?"

"Difficult? What is difficult? I just heard my father and mother cry, saying that life is hard. If we can't make it this time, the Huang family will collapse. My mother asked me to win you over and take you down. "

collapse?

Based on Feng Sheng's understanding, even if the Huang family had a hard time, they would not collapse. Could it be that there is a trick that she doesn't know about, or is it that the nineteenth girl in front of her lied to her?

But Feng Sheng really didn't look like it.

Huang's house, the courtyard where Jiu Yiniang lived.

Jiu Yiniang was pulling Huang Jinfu's ear, crying and cursing.

She is in her thirties, and she can't be called beautiful, but she has a plump figure, and there is a sharp color between her eyebrows and eyes that is different from ordinary women, which adds a bit of beauty to her.

"Get my daughter back quickly! Huang Jinfu, I regret sending my daughter away. I shouldn't have come to this poor place with you in the first place!"

Mr. Huang, who usually said the same thing in the yellow house, was screwed by Jiu Yiniang's ears at this time, not to mention hitting people in anger, he didn't even have a temper, he just kept crying out for pain.

"Sister, it's too late to regret it now. I've been gone for so long, so it's definitely over."

Hearing that this was accomplished, Jiu Yiniang was furious and heartbroken, she pushed Huang Jinfu on the couch, beat and pinched, and returned my daughter one bite at a time.

Huang Jinfu was also very upset, and said: "Didn't you see that man? He is also a good-looking person, with a handsome demeanor. I didn't do it because I had to. Those women don't know what's going on at home. You Don’t know yet? Everyone is urging for money, and the Lu family is urging for this year’s floating fee and apportionment. If there is no other way, the Huang family will collapse in my hands.”

"That can't be filled with my daughter, I'm just such a daughter. If I had known that I would not bring Ying'er back, I would continue to have a good time outside, why bother to break up these unclear things with you, and now I still have my daughter I lost it."

This Jiu Yiniang was originally the daughter of a shopkeeper under the Huang family. Huang Jinfu visited the shop once and took a fancy to Yunying who was not married. This Jiu Yiniang was also very assertive, knowing that the whole family depended on the Huang's family for food, she had no choice but to hide, so she followed Huang Jinfu.

But he didn't want to go back to Huang's house with him, but became Huang Jinfu's concubine.

Probably because a wife is worse than a concubine and stealing is worse than a concubine, but this made Huang Jinfu fall in love with her, giving her what she wanted, and when Jiu Yiniang said she wanted to do business, she let her do it. Usually those aunts in the mansion are obedient to Huang Jinfu, but he just takes Jiu Yiniang who doesn't care about him as his sweetheart.

After more than ten years like this, Jiu Yiniang is no longer young, this is not the key point, but Huang Yinger is no longer young.

The girl's family will always have a day to get married. What's the use of Jiu Yiniang being favored in front of Huang Jinfu? After all, she has no status, even Huang Ying'er has no status. This is not for the sake of her daughter's future marriage. Jiu Yiniang took her daughter Back to Huang's house.

Huang Jinfu has always been the same in Huang's family, and all the wives and aunts below are afraid of him, so Jiu Yiniang and Huang Ying'er's life in Huang's family is quite smooth. Jiu Yiniang used to help Huang Jinfu manage part of the business outside, but when she really came to the Huang family, she could truly see how strong the Huang family is today.

Salt merchants seem to be very rich, and they themselves think that they are very rich, but once they need cash, they know whether they are rich or not.

The salt is transported out of the field, into their hands, and then resold, and the skins are peeled layer by layer along the road. In addition, countless office meals are sent to various government offices every year. Needless to say. These have to be added to the salt price, but if the official salt price is too high, it will be unsalable, so private salt can only be popular.

The Huang family currently has five ships of official salt in Hunan, but there is no one to sell the salt when it arrives, especially in the past when they could talk to their superiors about not paying the salt class. In the past, the top ten salt merchants in Yangzhou, as long as they were ranked in the list, whoever looked up to private salt, and those who would toss about private salt were the small salt merchants below. The way of private salt.

Huang Jinfu is timid. He knows that once he is accused of selling illegal salt, it will be a major event to behead his head and ransack his home. But unable to make ends meet in recent years, he began to get involved slowly, even to the point where he had to curry favor with 'Mr. Fang' in order to expand shipments.

"Okay, don't cry too. I talked to that Mr. Fang. The other party is also a dragon and a phoenix, and he is clean and self-sufficient. Maybe it is her blessing to have such a character at Xiaojiu's booth. Look at the eighth sister. The Ge hometown is also going smoothly."

"Since you think it's going well, why don't you ask your eighth sister to help you out of your predicament? That's Ge's hometown, so it's worthwhile to involve me, Ying'er."

"Hey, don't mention the Song family, that's a bunch of money-seeking people. Except for being nice to you when asking for money, they always look at people with their nostrils. I was blind and sent Xiaoba to that place So I don't value identity this time. I only value the county magistrate. It's better to be in charge now. This person named Fang is one and only in Taizhou, and he is not married. You should take a good rest. We will go to the garden before dawn tomorrow and kill him. I was caught off guard.

"After all, he is young and inexperienced, and Xiao Nineteen is beautiful. Let's force him to marry Xiao Nineteen and become the wife of the main house. This is the way for the son-in-law to hold private salt in his hands, and there is no one like me outside." With the help of the father-in-law, it’s not impossible to directly bypass the surname Gou, or we will all try our best to find an official for the son-in-law in that place, and Xiao Shijiu will directly become an official wife. At that time, this Yangzhou tenth The big salt merchants, the top ones, might have to change seats."

"You think it's beautiful."

"If I didn't think beautifully, you wouldn't have given me Xiaojiu."

Early the next morning, Huang Jinfu took Jiu Yiniang to the garden.

Seeing that it was almost time, he led people directly into the house. Jiu Yiniang got some water on the handkerchief in advance, and when she went in, she cried and called my daughter, Jin Fu also looked angry.

But the situation in the house was not what they imagined at all. Huang Yinger was fully dressed and was playing chess with Fang Fengsheng.

"Father, why are you here?"

"Little Nineteen..."

Huang Ying'er smiled embarrassedly at Feng Sheng, stepped forward and pulled Huang Jinfu and Jiu Yiniang out.

"Father, let the servants go down quickly, it doesn't look good to be around."

Huang Jinfu waved everyone away and asked, "Little Nineteen, that matter..."

"What are you talking about, you are so old!" Jiu Yiniang snatched her daughter over and pulled her aside: "Ying'er, your father just wanted to ask..." Well, even her mother can't say it.

"Father, what are you doing? I just played chess with him all night. By the way, there is one more thing. Mr. Fang said he wanted to talk to Dad."

"Talk?"

Huang Jinfu walked into that room with a puzzled face, and came out after a long, long time.

The next day, Feng Sheng and the others set out on their way home.
