Chongzhen's online shopping system

At night, Zhou Kui quietly entered the palace.

"Your Majesty, those shopkeepers in Beijing invited me to Yangzhou to discuss the sale of salt."

"Go, eat and drink what you need. Eat more, as long as you have the ability to get it, it's all yours!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhou Kui subconsciously wanted to kneel down again, but he held back when he saw Zhu Youjian's frowning.

"Go back. Speak up carefully, dare to leak the news, don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between uncles!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhou Kui bowed his head and backed out.

Regarding the sale of private salt, it would be best for Zhou Kui to come forward.

The emperor's father-in-law has a distinguished status.Coupled with this person's notoriety, he looks like an arrogant and domineering villain.It is his personality to be insatiable and greedy.

Isn't it normal for a fortune teller who looks at people on the street to rely on his daughter to become a relative of the royal family by virtue of his luck, and to do things that are detrimental to the interests of the royal family?

Early the next day.

Shopkeeper Li prepared the carriage and came outside Zhou Kui's mansion. After hearing the report from the housekeeper, Zhou Kui finished his breakfast in a leisurely manner, and then left the mansion surrounded by several servants and guards carrying luggage.

Seeing the luxurious carriage waiting at the door, instead of being happy, Zhou Kui put on a bad face and said sullenly, "I just prepared a carriage? Who is enough for it? Where is my servant? My guard Woolen cloth?"

After finishing speaking, he ignored the ugly shopkeeper Li, snorted coldly, turned around and returned to the Guozhang's mansion.

Shopkeeper Li was stunned.

We have servants, and we do not lack guards.Besides, what servants do you have to take a carriage?Wasn't it fine yesterday?Where is this playing today?

Seeing that Zhou Kui entered the mansion immediately, shopkeeper Li hurriedly chased after him.

"Master of the country, Lord of the country, don't get angry, the little one didn't think carefully, immediately! Arrange immediately!"

"Let's talk about it after you make arrangements. After finishing speaking, I went straight back to the mansion."

Shopkeeper Li wanted to chase again, but was stopped by the guards at the door.He wanted to get angry, but he didn't dare, so he sighed and went back to the carriage, and arranged for an errand runner to bring over a few carriages.Then stand in front of the carriage and continue to wait.

After Zhou Kui returned to the mansion, he sat on the grand teacher's chair in the lobby, ordered the servant girl to serve a cup of tea, and drank it calmly.Your Majesty said, you need to have a big appetite.

I am the head of the country, the emperor's father-in-law, what's wrong with putting on a picture?Didn't you beg me to go?

"Xiao Cui, did you eat well during the Chinese New Year?"

"Ah? Uncle, you..." Seeing Zhou Kui's eyes, Xiao Cui's face turned red, she lowered her head and dared not speak.

"Come and let me measure if the size has increased. Did you steal something from the house?" As he spoke, he pulled Xiaocui into his arms and began to fight.Just as I was about to rush, the butler's voice came from outside.

"Uncle, shopkeeper Li outside called a few more carriages, waiting for you outside."

"Let him wait!" Zhou Kui, who finally found some form, was interrupted and shouted angrily towards the outside.

I wanted to continue, but I couldn't get back the feeling just now.

The irritable Zhou Kui walked out, went out and told shopkeeper Li:

"My people, one carriage per person!"

After finishing speaking, he got on the front and the largest one with a calm face.

As soon as he got into the car, Zhou Kui's complexion improved.

The interior of the carriage is very spacious. The entire carriage is wrapped in light blue silk. There is a seat that can accommodate two people lying down. There is a copper incense burner on the small table next to it. A wisp of faint smoke is rising from it.

the most important is.

There's someone in the seat.

woman.

beautiful woman.

A beautiful woman who looked at him winkingly.

"You, you are?"

Zhou Kui stuttered and asked in a daze.

"Housekeeper Li is afraid that Uncle's journey will be lonely, so he ordered the servants to wait around and accompany Uncle to relieve boredom. Come, Uncle, sit down~"

Saying so, stretched out Rou Yi to hold Zhou Kui's hand, and invited him to his seat.

After Zhou Kui sat still, the woman lowered the curtain and said to the driver driving the horse ahead:

"Let's go, brother."

Then there was a sound of whips, and the carriage moved slowly.Only then did Zhou Kui come to his senses.

"what's your name?"

"Uncle can just call the slave's family Yuyu."

Zhou Kui nodded without speaking, touched the decoration inside the carriage, and felt the soft seat of the carriage.There was a feeling of emotion in my heart, this group of bastard salt merchants would really enjoy it.

Just as he was thinking, something softer touched his shoulder.

"Uncle, it's a long way to go to Yangzhou. We need to take a horse-drawn carriage to Zhuoxian County, and then take a boat all the way south through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to reach Yangzhou. We have to stay on the boat for many days, so please take pity on my uncle." Take pity on my family." After speaking, he rubbed two balloons against Zhou Kui.

Zhou Kui had a happy face, feeling Yuyu's softness, and said with a smile:

"Good talk, good talk!"

Under Yuyu's catering, Zhou Kui finally sent the chills that Xiaocui didn't feel to Yuyu.The slight bump of the carriage brought him an unprecedented experience.

Second day

They boarded a ship in Zhuo County, and after nearly 20 days of sailing, they arrived at the boundary of Yangzhou.

At this time, it is the beginning of March, which is the most beautiful time of the year in Yangzhou.The grass grows and the warbler flies, and the willows blow on the embankment.Along the way, Zhou Kui can be said to have feasted his eyes.

Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March, and it really lives up to its reputation.

When the boat docked, Zhou Kui disembarked with several servants and guards, among them was the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi Zhou Hao sent by His Majesty to help him.

He originally wanted to get off the boat with Yuyu, but he didn't expect to be rejected by her.The reason is that she has to wait on the boat so as not to delay Zhou Kui's appreciation of the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.After getting along these days, Zhou Kui still had a little bit of reluctance, but it disappeared soon.

The people who came to greet him had been waiting on the shore for a long time.

The leader was a thin, fair-faced middle-aged man, who saw Zhou Kui coming ashore, and led others to greet him.

"I think this is the father-in-law of the country. I'm Xiao Quan, I'm so far away!"

Yangzhou has been prosperous because of salt since ancient times.Liu Bi, the king of Guangling in the Western Han Dynasty, "opened mountains to cast money, boiled seas to make salt", and his national power was strong.By the Ming and Qing dynasties, Yangzhou had become the center of salt transportation in the south.At that time, the salt produced in the Huaihe River was transported here for storage, and then sold to the north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, or went up the Yangtze River to Henan, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui and other provinces in the Central Plains.

Therefore, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, "Yangzhou is prosperous with salt".Those crystal clear and white salt grains gathered into mountains of gold and silver, making this famous canal city unprecedentedly prosperous.These merchants who sell salt and become rich because of salt, although their hometowns are different, their surnames are different, and their cultures are different, but they, together with gentry, literati, craftsmen, commoners and other people, created the splendid culture of Yangzhou...

History calls them by a specific name-Yangzhou salt merchants.

And Xiao Quan was the leading figure among the salt merchants in Yangzhou at this time.

His ancestors were originally from Anhui, but later they went to Yangzhou to do business. By chance, they actually made a fortune from private salt.This is the third generation of Xiao Quan, and the family business has not decreased but increased.Yangzhou salt merchants are headed by him.

Ordinarily, in the past, even the magistrate of Yangzhou was not qualified to let him travel so far, but he is different today.It is the new nobleman of the Ming Dynasty, the biological father of the empress, and Zhou Kui, the father of the country.

After hearing Xiao Quan's words, Zhou Kui also cupped his hands and exchanged a few words of greeting.

It happened to be evening at this time, under Xiao Quan's arrangement, Zhou Kui took a bath and changed clothes in a mansion, and then Xiao Quan hosted a banquet for him.

"Today, the father-in-law was tired from traveling and traveling, so I ordered someone to prepare a few delicious dishes for the father-in-law to taste." I don't know if it was done on purpose, but there were only him and Zhou Kui at the table.But the noodles are not bad, especially a series of specialties such as boned abalone, preserved mackerel, Taozhuang yellow bird, etc., which made Zhou Kui appetite.

Naturally, a dinner party cannot be without wine. Under Xiao Quan's flattery, Zhou Kui ate a meal with gusto.

After drinking for three rounds, Xiao Quan tactfully got up and left, letting Zhou Kui rest earlier.

After a few glasses of wine, Zhou Kui was also a little drunk, and returned to his bedroom under the arrangement of his servants.

A girl about [-] or [-] years old was already waiting in the house. As soon as Zhou Kui entered the room, she served the hangover tea that she had prepared earlier, and after Zhou Kui finished drinking, she began to serve Zhou Kui to undress.

After Zhou Kui took off his clothes and came to the bed, he found that there was another one lying on the bed.

Looking back at the woman who served him tea just now, he saw that she was silently unpacking his pocket.

Zhou Kui looked at this and that.

Breathing suddenly became heavy, and the quilt on the bed was opened first, sure enough.Under the candlelight, the naked body exudes an ivory white luster.

He couldn't take it anymore.

The tiger in my heart came out of the cage.

After everything was over, Zhou Kui fell asleep deeply.

very nice.

It was the last thought on his mind.
