Turning to look at the fireworks in the sky, tears filled her eyes again: It turns out that Shangluo has been thinking about her in the five years since she left the business, and her room has always been arranged as it was five years ago. There is no dust, and even the quilt taken out of the cabinet can even smell that it was dried not long ago; I still remember that she loved to play with fireworks when she was a child, so she would buy fireworks and pile them in the side room every year during the Chinese New Year, but No one left it to pile up there; even the name of the wine he brewed by himself was allowed to be given to her... Although it was only a few days back, those little things that got along with each other seemed to have turned into light flower wine , let her heartless person feel the beating of the heart, the warmth from the bottom of my heart...

After drinking a few sips of wine, the stuffy feeling in his heart was relieved a lot. The fireworks in that room were not finished until midnight, but Lu Dai on the roof collapsed on the roof because he was a little drunk. What Luo came out of the study to see here was such a scene.

He raised his hand to tell the boy not to continue setting off the fireworks and ordered the backyard to be cleaned up before noon tomorrow. He went up to the roof and frowned at the drunk and unconscious Lu Dai. After thinking about it, he carried Lu Dai on his back together with the quilt. went to her room.

On the fourth day of this day, the businesses, large and small, began to officially end their holidays and began to open for business. All the stores under the entire business, except for the important ones, were allowed to take a three-day holiday during the New Year. loyalty.

On the surface, the industry of this merchant has not expanded much, but in fact, after several years of Shangluo's management, all shops, large and small, only obey the orders of the big boss, Shangluo.

Shang Luo was sitting at the table with Lu Dai and was about to have lunch, but saw a man come in, walked straight to the table without saying hello and sat down by himself, Shang Luo glanced at the man and introduced to the stunned Lu Dai: "Xia Fan, the only son of the Xia family's richest man in Jiangnan." Then he introduced to the man named Xia Fan: "My sister, Lu Dai." After a pause, "You got kicked out again?"

Xia Fan didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said openly: "You know my family, I don't want to take care of things, my sister is in charge of the family's affairs, other than the old man, there is no way... oh..."

At this time, Young Master Xia, who had long been used to coming to eat from time to time, had already put the clean bowls and chopsticks on the table.It is rare to have no money in the fourth day of junior high school like today, and Shang Luo was embarrassed to ask him how much pocket money he had every month, after all, men still want face.But if you spend money lavishly, didn't the elders return the lucky money a few days ago?Shang Luo secretly thought about it and started eating without asking.

After eating, Xia Fan disappeared just like when he came.For the first time, Lu Dai followed Shang Luo into the study room, and she kept following without saying a word. Finally, Shang Luo sat on the chair and looked at Lu Dai who had the word "curious" written on his face, and said, "Xi'er, What are you doing with me? Don’t make a fuss anymore?” Thinking about how restless she has been up and down in the mansion these days, she has a big head, although the situation is not bad or even just a small fight or a prank, but She was so energetic that after making troubles in the front hall, the back hall, and in the back hall, the kitchen, and sometimes even came to the study to find her "trouble"...

After hearing this, Lu Dai smiled embarrassedly and asked, "Brother Luo, actually I want to ask you a question..."

Shang Luo put down the account book in his hand, looked at her and said, "Speak."

"Actually, I just want to know what that Xia Fan does... Is he really the only son of the legendary richest man in Jiangnan? Isn't it rumored that the relationship between the merchant and the Xia family is hostile? From today's noon, you seem to be very familiar? How did you know each other? of?"

Shang Luo helped his forehead helplessly, and said: "Are you still from our business... Do you believe the rumors in the world? Don't you also say that they are "rumors" and "legends"?

Our business and the Xia family... can't be called hostile, the two are inextricably linked. "

Lu Dai's eyes widened after hearing this: "Is there an inextricable connection?!"

"You didn't like to read books when you were young. There are records in the books of these families. The previous generations of merchants were in the previous Xia family. The so-called former is the generation of the founder of the Xia family-Xia Ming. And folks The rumors are similar. Xia Ming used to be a merchant, married a daughter of a family, and then settled down in Yecheng. By the way, it was not called a city at that time, but a town.

In that caravan, there was a person who had a very good relationship with Xia Ming, and that person was the one who left the initial wealth to our business—Shangcai.That is our grandfather's father, when he saw Xia Ming'an went home and went to the north with the money he earned, he also returned to the town where he was born, doing some small business for a living.

So the merchant and the Xia family lived in two places, one south and one north, but suddenly one day, Xia Ming, who was growing his business in the south, suddenly wrote to Shang Cai and asked him to come to Ye Town as soon as possible to discuss something important. .

When Shangcai got there and inquired about it, he realized that it turned out that the imperial court had heard that there was an incomparably rich Xia family in the south of the Yangtze River, so they sent people over to find out. If it was fake, nothing would happen. If it was true... ...will be "cared for" everywhere in the court.

Xia Ming couldn't find anyone to entrust his assets to for a while, so he thought of Shang Cai who was far away in the north. Shang Cai's family expected him to be the number one scholar in the Guangzong Yaozu exam, so he was named Shang Cai.But a series of accidents at home caused Shangcai to put down his pen and ink to start a business and take on the burden of supporting his family.Xia Ming called Shang Cai here because he wanted to transfer those shops to Shang Cai's name.

Both of them are businessmen, and those little Jiujiu can't hide it from anyone, so they just let it go.In the end, the result of this matter was that just when the people from the court arrived, they found out that the source of income of the Xia family was all local and a few out-of-town shops, and those scattered small shops disappeared.

I don't know how much money Shangcai paid. Anyway, at that time, many small shops of the Xia family were silently taken down the signs of the Xia family. Those who didn't know all thought that the Xia family sold that shop and didn't sell it to other places. direction to think.In addition, those officials returned to Beijing to return to Beijing after searching for nothing for a few days, but the emperor at that time was very alert and thought that it could not be groundless, so he secretly suppressed it for several years.

In the past few years, the merchants who started with only a few small shops have quietly grown into competitors that can compete with the Xia family.It may be because Shangcai has been a scholar since he was a child, and he is very low-key in his actions, trying not to conflict with the Xia family.It was not until the drought that year that the merchants gradually paid the water surface and were noticed by the world.

It can be said that without the Xia family, there would be no merchants, and it could also be said that without the merchants, there would be no Xia family. "

After taking a sip to moisten his throat, he glanced at Lu Dai and said, "Okay, my story is finished. May I ask my Miss Lu if you have any questions?"

Shang Luo looked at Shang Luo with an expression of "So that's it", then looked at the several thick account books piled up on the table, frowned and blinked slyly, and said: "Miss Ben is very satisfied with what you heard. , so Miss Ben decided to reward you."

reward?Hearing this Shang Luo sat up straight and looked at Lu Dai with a "smiling" face, he said, "Then what can I ask Missy to reward?" She was very curious about what kind of "surprise" Xiao Xi would give her. .

Seeing Shang Luo's fake smile, even though she knew she was faking, she shivered: "I can't stand that look."With a wave of jade hand: "Follow me."

This time it was Shang Luo's turn to be taken aback: What does this ancient spirit want to do?
