Two singing Miao songs

"Clap, clap."

It was the end of the month, and in the quiet study room, apart from the sound of the abacus being turned, there was only the occasional sound of the person at the desk turning the pages of the book.

The man looked serious, his back was straight, his fingers were flicking on the abacus, and he kept his head buried in the account book at hand from time to time to record something.Even though the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant outside the study, he turned a deaf ear to it and never cared.

Feng Mengqiao just entered the study, and he saw Jiang Yu just like this.

Feng Mengqiao, who had long been accustomed to Jiang Yu's temperament, was not in a hurry. He took the teacup handed over by the servant and sipped the tea carefully, waiting for Jiang Yu to finish reconciling the accounts in his hand, and quietly looked at his childhood sweetheart.

Jiang Yu was born with a good skin, a pair of peach blossom eyes watery, when he smiles full of amused eyes, he can fascinate thousands of women just by raising his eyes, his thin lips are lightly pursed, although he looks fickle, but his face is intoxicating .With a man who looks like this, it's no wonder that there are many rich ladies in Suzhou who want to protect themselves like jade for this man.What's even more exasperating is that this man is also gentle and considerate to the girls, with a gentle manner, except for his mouth, he really doesn't take advantage of it at all. He often makes the girls blush, but he can't bear to look away, so he can only reprimand and give up.

Everyone in Suzhou said that Jiang Yu had inherited his father's business acumen and his mother's beautiful appearance.

At this point, Feng Mengqiao sighed to himself. He picked up the teacup and took another sip enjoying it. He only felt satisfied and couldn't think of leaving.

After three days in the sun, Jiang Yu finally finished checking the accounts for a month, put down his penis, twisted his stiff neck, and stretched, only then did he notice Feng Mengqiao sitting in the room.

He didn't wonder when this person arrived in Jiangfu, and said with a smile: "I knew you would come to me today."

Holding the teacup, Feng Mengqiao praised: "Sure enough, Hengzhi's Tieguanyin is the most fragrant. It doesn't matter if I have another cup."

Hengzhi is Jiang Yu's character.The Jiang family has been in business for generations, starting with the silk business. When his father came to Jiangyuan, he was already a silk merchant in the rich side of Jiangsu.Jiang Yuan attached great importance to his son's "credibility" throughout his life, so he named his son Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu also lived up to his father's expectations of him. He has understood the principle of "a promise is worth a thousand dollars" since he was a child, and every time he makes a promise, he must keep it.When he reached the crown, Jiang Yu wanted to give himself another title.Thinking of his mother wanting him to persevere in everything and everyone.Jiang Yu took advantage of the situation and took the word "hengzhi" for himself, which is not only a homonym for "heng", but also means equivalent exchange.

Knowing that his friend has always been good at wine, Jiang Yu knew Feng Mengqiao's compliment was just flattery, but he didn't understand it that way, and waved his hand: "Come here, let's get some more tea for Young Master Feng."

Feng Mengqiao had been waiting for nearly an hour, and he was already full of tea. What he said was just casual flattery. When he was surprised that Jiang Yu wanted to bring him more tea, he quickly waved his hands and said, "No need! I just said it casually."

Jiang Yu also knew the virtue of his friend, so he didn't take people to serve tea seriously, and joked: "Zhongliang, when will you learn your father's appearance and start talking flattering words, which makes me feel uncomfortable."

Zhongliang is Feng Mengqiao's character. Since reaching the crown, they met on weekdays. To show respect, they usually match each other with the character Biao.

As if talking about the sore spot, Feng Mengqiao's face instantly wrinkled as if he had eaten a bitter gourd: "Stop talking, my old man wants me to take on the family business again, and asks me to work as a helper in a shop. No, I'm only allowed to take a day off today because of my birthday. Let's not talk about that, the weather is fine today, let's go to the lake to enjoy the flowers."

The Feng family is also a well-known business family in Jiangsu. The Jiang family is big in Suzhou, and the Feng family is also a leading big family in Yangzhou.Jiang Yu heard from his father that the Feng family was originally a merchant in the north, and later moved the family to the south for some reason. With the help of his Jiang family, they have achieved today's glory.Therefore, the old man of the Feng family and his father became close friends, and he and Feng Mengqiao had also known each other since childhood.

Unlike Jiang Yu who took over the family business from his father early on, Feng Mengqiao adheres to 'carpe diem in time' and has been reluctant to take over the family business for a long time, which made Mr. Feng very angry.So every year, on Feng Mengqiao's birthday, Mr. Feng would bring up the old story again, but Feng Mengqiao still only cared about having fun.Year after year, it repeats itself, and even Jiang Yu has figured out the routine.

Knowing that this person only sees these things, Jiang Yu twitched his lips and said, "How could I forget your birthday today, knowing that you are only thinking about enjoying the 'flowers', so I booked a boat early in the morning, and I will wait for you to come."

"Those who know me are worthy." Hearing that Jiang Yu was ready, Feng Mengqiao suddenly smiled, wishing to fly to the pier immediately, "You wait for me for a while, and I will go to the latrine soon!"

Feng Mengqiao turned around and ran away. He was already familiar with the Jiangfu's hut, who made him drink tea all morning.

Suzhou City in Jiangsu Province is prosperous and beautiful, with small bridges and flowing water everywhere, which is very like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.It's the end of spring, and the peach blossom petals on the roadside are all over the ground, but the willows beside the bridge are still green and pleasant.It seems that there has just been a drizzle, and there are still raindrops hanging on the roof tiles, which are about to fall, making this Suzhou city look like a pure girl from a hibiscus, shy and lovely.

In the busy market, the vendors who can be seen along the way are all ruddy and energetic, with their small bodies upright and their heads held up, excitedly introducing the novelties on their stalls, and by the way, they also praised Jiangnan for being good.Quite a few young ladies and maidservants gathered at the stalls. In the shop, they were choosing exquisitely crafted jewelry and clothing.

A few sharp-eyed girls saw Jiang Yu and Feng Mengqiao walking into the crowd early, and pulled their companions to whisper: "Look, look, it's Young Master Jiang and Young Master Feng. Wow, Young Master Feng is so handsome."

"If you ask me, Young Master Jiang is more handsome. Look at the way he holds a folding fan. This light slap is really going to take my soul away."

"You make Young Master Jiang look like a seducer. If you want me to say, it's true that you got the fan pendant made of emerald copper coins."

"You think it's beautiful. I heard that the jade copper pendant is a family heirloom of the Jiang family. Only on a happy day, the male master will give this pendant to the main wife, and then the main wife will pass it on to the first son. If it is the main wife, I have a chance. "

Speaking of jokes, several girls laughed and started to fight.

Young Master Feng has not enjoyed such a leisure time for nearly a month. Smelling the elegant fragrance of rouge from the girls, he feels happy from the bottom of his heart, but he still complains: "Ah, the scenery in Suzhou is really wonderful. It's a pity that since you arrived Guan, to take over the business of the Jiang family, on my birthday, I have to wait at least half a day before I can go out. What a waste of time."

Young Master Jiang shook the folding fan lightly, and the jadeite copper coin hanging on the folding fan swayed, and said with a smile: "Who told you to be born at the end of the month, I have to reconcile the profit and loss of the month every year on this day, and there is no delay."

"Oh, I can only blame this young master for not only being born at the wrong time, but also for being careless in making friends. I actually made a friend like you who values ​​money more than friends, ouch!" Young Master Feng pretended to be pitiful, and Jiang Yu held a folding fan on his forehead suddenly After knocking lightly and loudly, he made a strange cry.

"What are you yelling about? There are only a dozen of silk and satin shops, tailor shops, and embroidery shops under the name of my Jiangfu, not counting the newly expanded shops outside of Jiangsu and in the north. For this young master, time is money. Do you know how much silver taels this young master can earn in one hour? On weekdays, I can’t handle dozens of documents and major transactions or changes submitted from stores in various regions for eight hours a day. In these documents, behind every word What you carry is a transaction ranging from a few hundred taels to as many as tens of thousands of taels. Accompanying you for at least four hours for half a day, at least this young master will earn hundreds of taels less. I have spent half a day out to swim the lake with you, are you still not satisfied?" Jiang Yu put away his folding fan, raised his head and asked back.

"Satisfied and satisfied, how can I be dissatisfied with you Suzhou merchant, the 'little man' Jiang Shao, as your company." I am used to the narcissistic appearance of my friends, and I am afraid that this person will praise himself to the sky, and he will not come down for a while, Feng Mengqiao He changed the subject wisely, "By the way, why isn't this ferry coming yet?"

In a blink of an eye, the ferry was in sight, and a huge and gorgeous cruise ship was parked at the ferry.

Seeing the flower boat, Feng Mengqiao couldn't help quickening his pace, imagining the graceful figure he would see on the boat.

The high bed and soft pillows in the flower boat are all available, and there are many exquisite snacks, the most important thing is the excellent Biluochun that Young Master Jiang likes.

Speaking of Biluochun, Jiang Yu's love for it can be compared with money.Although Suzhou is rich in Biluochun, the best ones are naturally given to officials. Even the young master of the wealthy Jiang family in Suzhou can't just buy it if they want to drink it.Therefore, Jiang Yu never let go of any chance to obtain and enjoy the top Biluochun.

Picking up the tea cup very solemnly, Jiang Yu smelled the wonderful fragrance of Biluochun, took a sip, squinted his eyes and smiled as if he had made a fortune.

And his good friend Feng Mengqiao.

Ever since the geisha performing arts appeared, he never took his eyes off those women.At the end of the song, Feng Mengqiao let go of the geisha in his arms, watched the girls leave the room, took a sip from the wine glass, and when he was free, he glanced at Jiang Yu aside, and joked: "Hengzhi, what do you think?" You, even though you love beauties as much as I do, you just look at them and don't play with them, why is that?"

Jiang Yu chuckled, and replied: "Although the flowers are beautiful, they are fragile. They can only be seen from a distance, not to be played with. The beauty of women is to be admired, how can they be played around like you."

Feng Mengqiao was not sensitive to Jiang Yu's theory of "beautiful women from afar" and suddenly remembered the commotion before boarding the boat. He said curiously, "Hengzhi, why did you treat that old fisherman so much trouble?"

Taking a sip slowly, Jiang Yu sighed, and said, "Could it be like you, doing business at a loss."

Seeing the puzzled look on the accused Feng Mengqiao's face, Jiang Yu had no choice but to put down the teacup and analyze it carefully.

It turned out that when the two first arrived at the ferry, a small fishing boat was parked at the special docking point for the Jiang family, so the huge flower boat could not dock.Feng Mengqiao originally wanted to buy a whole boat of fish, so that the old fishermen could leave earlier and the flower boat could dock.How could he know that the old fisherman from a foreign country believed that Jiang Yu was taking advantage of his wealth and power to occupy the position of the ferry, and he refused to sell it no matter what.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu thought of a trick and asked the old fishermen to send the biggest and freshest fish to Jiangfu every day as an exchange for docking fishing boats.Only then did the old fisherman accept it.

"Buying a whole boat of fish not only costs money to sell the fish, but also considers a series of follow-up expenses. I definitely can't finish it. If I want to sell it, I have to hire someone, find a stall, and find a place to stock up. , It’s another expense for no reason. This fish is cheap food, the price is determined by the market, and there is no room for price increases. Even if they are all sold, they will still lose labor costs, so it’s not a loss-making business.”

Seeing that Feng Mengqiao seemed to understand but didn't understand, Jiang Yu continued.

"I'm worrying that the location of this ferry is empty and I can't make money. Now I use the opportunity of docking at Jiang's docking point in exchange for an old fisherman's fish a day. I can leave a good impression on the people and don't have to face a lot of dead fish. Besides , the old fisherman is a foreigner, it is an excellent opportunity to spread a good reputation, and maybe even attract big clients. It really kills three birds with one stone." The more Jiang Yu thought about it, the more he felt that the decision he made was really right. upturned.

On the other hand, Feng Mengqiao had a helpless face of "whatever you say is right", drinking a small drink, seeing the next wave of geisha appearing, and not caring about his friends.Anyway, it's not the first time he's heard his friend's rhetoric that "everything can make money, and making money in the world is the starting point of all actions", and he has long been familiar with it.

"By the way, have you done what I asked you to do?" Jiang Yu said out of nowhere, scaring Feng Mengqiao, who was hugging the geisha's snake waist, almost spit out the wine from his mouth in fright.

"Ahem, I've already said hello to all the shops under Feng's name. As long as your so-called 'Miaojiang honored guest' shows up, he will definitely stop people."

"Very good." Jiang Yu closed his folding fan with confidence in his eyes.

Feng Mengqiao didn't know the reason, and asked: "Who is this distinguished guest from Miaojiang, so that you can avoid it like a snake and a scorpion?"

Jiang Yu corrected, "It's not snakes and scorpions, it's fate."
