The sturdy life of crossing

A carriage drove people into Jinhai County. The people in the car opened the curtains and looked at the scenery outside in surprise: "Ma'am, is this really just a small county town? This county town looks more prosperous than our prefectural city." Woolen cloth."

A woman with not very good looks looked out from the other side of the window. The whole street and the shops on both sides of the road are very different from other places. Both sides of the road are places for pedestrians to walk. You can see I saw many girls, brothers and women walking on the street generously.

"I heard that this is the outer city of Jinhai County, and it is not the most prosperous area. Jinhai County has long been famous outside, and it is natural for a reason. Let's park the carriage aside, and come down for a walk, such a beautiful scenery , It’s a pity to just sit in the carriage, and it happens that Bao’er is tired after sitting all the way.” There seemed to be a flash of nostalgia in the woman’s eyes, and she looked at the child in her arms with a gentle smile.

"Yes, ma'am.

Not long after, the pair of master and servant plus a child were walking on the streets of this county under the protection of several entourages. From time to time, the child saw strange things and found surprises, and the woman stopped often. Full of items bought along the way

If Jian Leyang were here, she would recognize this young woman at a glance. She was Jian Wan from Yongan Village, who was later arranged by her relatives to marry a fool in Fucheng. Within two years, she gave birth to a healthy The old lady finally closed her eyes in satisfaction, and within a year, the idiot fell into the river, and it was too late when someone found him and rescued him. She put forward a request to separate the family, and took the children alone to make a living. Fortunately, the old lady left a lot of things before she died, enough for Jian Wan to raise the children to grow up.

Within two years, Jian Wan guarded her son and started a business, and her life became more and more prosperous, and her business became more and more prosperous. Now that rich businessmen from all over the world gather in Jinhai County, Jian Wan also came here to broaden her horizons and expand her family business avenues.

The reason why she was able to keep her current family business was because she used the name of Jian Leyang, the leader of the Canghe Gang, in private. She was a little guilty when she did this at first, but after going through a lot, she knew that Jian Yang and her second brother's family didn't owe them anything. , not to mention that he is not the second brother, but the life of orphans and widowed mothers is really hard. From time to time, people come to the door to fight the autumn wind, but once Jian Leyang's banner is played, those people dare not come to the door anymore.

Jian Wan didn't expect it to work, she actually relied on a person who was abandoned by the Jian family to live a comfortable life, after a long time, she also chewed out the meaning, maybe Jian Leyang knew it, maybe he didn't know it, but others found out The relationship between Jian's family and Jian Leyang has to be scrupulous, and since Jian Leyang didn't specifically come out to clarify, others can't afford to risk offending the Canghe Gang to attack her.

Now that the business is on the right track, looking back on the past, I feel more and more stupid at that time. Probably at that time, Jian Leyang didn't even bother to reach out to repair her, otherwise she could be crushed to death with one finger. She wanted to provoke her, but luckily it didn't cause any consequences, otherwise she would not be able to live the life she is today and still borrow Jian Leyang's name.

It's not that no one has persuaded her to have a further relationship with Jian Leyang and the Canghe Gang. As long as she gets involved, her current family business will be more than tenfold, but Jian Wan has never taken that step. She can vaguely foresee that if She really did this, I'm afraid that in the future, this layer of umbrella will not be able to be borrowed. Based on how the Jian family treated the second brother's family in the past, now Jian Leyang just ignores them. .

Now the only married girl in Jane's family is living the best life. Who would have expected that she married a fool at that time, and her niece, who was very calculating and deceiving, suffered for a while at first. It's a pity that the concubine's room is so easy to do?Within two years, the child she was pregnant with was lost for no apparent reason, and she fell out of favor. Later, she heard that she had been messing with wild men outside, so she was beaten with a stick and kicked out. I never heard of it again. After the matter of this niece is over, even her own parents don't care about her, so of course Jian Wan won't bother to inquire about it.

Everything about Jinhai County and what Jian Leyang did also spread to their prefecture, which aroused great repercussions. Now that Jian Wan is walking in this county, she can't help thinking, if her parents were not so snobbish at that time, they could treat the two well. Brother's family, then their Jian family is the most enviable family in the whole Fucheng and even the Daxing Dynasty.

She only had such a thought once in a while. In the past few years, with the exposure of the background of the second brother's family and the rise of the Canghe Gang, it must be her so-called relatives who regret the most.

"My lord, my lord, there is a letter from my lord, it's from the capital." Xiao Qi climbed up the stairs all the way, but she didn't catch her breath, and her physical exercise is very good now.

Jian Leyang, who had just discussed with He Yunzhang about the elimination of seagoing ships, turned around and took the letter from Xiao Qi. He Yunzhang deduced from the side: "Your Majesty's body can't hold on anymore. It's been three years from good to bad. Hold on long enough."

Xiao Qi looked at the Chief Manager with admiration. After three years, the General Manager has also won the admiration of a group of people. Not everyone can manage the Canghe Gang in an orderly manner. The lack of "virtuous housemates", of course, the most admired by brothers like Xiaoqi is their boss. Many brothers who have been rescued by the gang have made great wishes to learn from the boss and become the head of the family. Brother, the goal is to marry a virtuous husband and son-in-law like Mr. Chief Manager. As a fan of Jian Leyang, Xiao Qi firmly maintains such a life goal and lofty aspirations.

Jian Leyang scanned the contents of the letter at a glance, raised his head and said: "That's right, half a month at the fastest, and a month or two at the slowest, if it wasn't for... the old emperor's body was hollowed out by the previous years. It’s been amazing to stick around for so long.”

After talking, Jian Leyang and He Yunzhang looked at each other and smiled, because the old emperor could live for such a long time, the Canghe Gang contributed a lot to this, and Jian Leyang sent a lot of precious medicinal materials and life-saving medicines to the capital. His goal is the same as that of some people in the capital, which is to let the old emperor live for a few more years. With the old emperor in power, all forces in the capital will fight to the death, and for the time being, they will not care about the Canghe Gang. They bought time for the Canghe Gang.

Otherwise, when the successor takes office, I am afraid that the Canghe Gang will attack the Canghe Gang in the next moment. Maybe the Canghe Gang will be more threatening in the eyes of the next emperor than those opponents before he ascended the throne. The River Gang continues to grow, threatening its own throne and rule.

Even if the old emperor was alive, he spent most of his time lying on the hospital bed, and he was powerless to deal with the current situation of the court.

"There is not much time left for us. We must take advantage of this last spare time to deal with some things. Of course, the most important thing is to organize the wedding right now. Let's go, let's go and see the new house they arranged, the Gu family It's time for your uncle to arrive." Jian Leyang turned around and forgot about the affairs of the capital, and called He Yunzhang and Xiao Qi to happily join in the fun.

Now the changes in the situation in the capital are within their expectations, and various countermeasures have been prepared long ago, so it seems insignificant. On the contrary, it is the upcoming wedding of the Canghe Gang that has attracted a lot of attention from inside and outside Jinhai County.

Jian Leyang himself did not expect that the marriage between him and He Yunzhang had not yet been concluded. Shi Shifeng and Gu Yinquan met each other first. Since the two parties' identities are special enough, this wedding will be held in a more grand manner.

After the news spread back to the capital, there was a lot of trouble in the Gu family. Brother Quan's mother-in-law, the Qiu family, wanted to take Brother Quan and sister Zhen back to the capital no matter what. On the lintel of the Gu family?After a little investigation, it turns out that the ancestor of the Shi family was a craftsman, and the Qiu family was going crazy, but the old master Gu suppressed Qiu's protests, agreed to the marriage, and let the wedding be held in Jinhai County , Brother Quan doesn't have to come back to the capital, and he will leave the marriage to Jane's father and mother.

This marriage was rumored in the capital. From the eyes of the rich and powerful in the capital, the two families were not well-connected. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu became dizzy when he was old. The elder brother sent out to match such a marriage, and the family who originally wanted to marry the Gu family but was rejected by the Gu family even spread some ugly words behind their backs, calling Shi Shifeng a reckless and rough man.

After the two marriages were finalized, Shi Shifeng sent someone to the capital to deliver the betrothal gift. Although there was no way to welcome the bride from the Gu family in the capital, he didn't want the Gu family to lose face, so the betrothal gift was prepared very generously, so that everyone who went to the Gu family could see His eyes were blinded, and he turned his head to check, who is this Shi Shifeng, who can actually carry out such a box of valuable gold and silver jewels, and that big pearl is no worse than the tribute sent to the palace. , the half-person-high coral is so dazzlingly red, it seems that the box is packed with precious gems that don't cost much.

All the betrothal gifts that have been raised all illustrate one point, that is, the Shi family and Shi Shifeng, what is lacking is that they are not short of money. Ten thousand taels of silver, which family in the capital has such a large amount of money to marry a daughter-in-law.

The scene of that day made the whole capital discuss for a long time without subsiding it. In the end, the rich and powerful in the capital could only talk sourly about the Shi family's background. Even Shi Shifeng is like this, so what about Jian Leyang, the gang leader himself?How rich it must be, the eyes of people who are short of money are red with jealousy.

Although people in the capital are spreading rumors that the Canghe Gang is rich, it was just rumors before seeing the real money and real silver, but now everyone can't sit still. There are a lot of rich merchants in the boat, and behind some of them are dignitaries in the capital. They want to get a piece of the pie from the Canghe Gang, but they hate that they are too slow to start. In the past, they didn't take Jian Leyang and the Canghe Gang seriously.

He Yunjing also got on the boat of the Canghe Gang and headed to Jinhai County. He represented the He family to attend the wedding banquet between Shi Shifeng and Gu Yinquan. Of course, he also had another purpose, which was to ask He Yunzhang about his marriage to Jian Leyang for his father. How long will it be delayed? I didn't see that Jian Leyang's subordinates had all walked in front of him, and they were really not young.

Three years ago, many people in the capital despised He Yunzhang's behavior of leaving the capital to join Jian Leyang, thinking that he was self-willed and depraved. At first, the topic of "little boy" kept coming back to the capital, but today, three years later, everyone brought up He Yunzhang's tone But it is quite complicated. People in the capital don't know how big the Canghe Gang's family business is, but they can vaguely guess that it is immeasurable. As Jian Leyang's most trusted head of the Canghe Gang, he is in charge of such a large family. Many people are jealous.

He Yunjing could tell that for the past three years, his cousin had endured layers of pressure to secure the position of the chief manager and was imprisoned. Despite the influence of various rumors, fortunately, my cousin's ability has been recognized by most people. As for those who do not recognize it, it is nothing more than the jealous words of pedantic and incompetent people.

Every time he received a letter from He Yunzhang and saw various descriptions of Jinhai County in the letter, He Yunjing wanted to go to Jinhai County to see it for himself. He hadn’t had the chance for three years, but this time he did. It’s just that He Yunjing thought of his father’s death when he left Beijing. After saying those words, his heart was a little heavy. His father let him leave the capital at this time because he also saw that the capital would be full of turmoil.

"We're almost in Jinhai County. Young Master He is about to meet Manager He. He must be very excited." Hua Jia and her husband came over and smiled at He Yunjing who was standing on the bow of the boat looking at the scenery.

He Yunjing smiled and nodded to Hua Jia and Xie Wenyi who was walking with him. Hua Jia married Xie Wenyi as he wished, and Xie Wenyi did not quit the business world. Canghe Gang and Cangcui Pavilion's jewelry products are becoming more and more popular among the upper class in the capital. Not many people are willing to offend this brother who is in charge of Cangcui Pavilion. Many matters of Cangcui Pavilion.

Because of the friendship between Hua Jia and Jian Leyang, as well as the relationship of Xie Wenyi, the Hua family first purchased two sea boats from the Canghe Gang and boarded the Canghe Gang's shipping. Compared with the past, the business and family fortune expanded beyond recognition How many times, countless merchants envied the good luck of the Hua family and formed such a good marriage.This also made Xie Wenyi restless in the backyard. No matter how someone jumped out to criticize, the head of the Hua family would never refute Xie Wenyi's face. Xie Wenyi standing outside was the important link between the Hua family and the Canghe Gang.
