The next morning, watching Xu Changqing's carriage drive away steadily, Xiu'er pulled Li Lanfang to the room and whispered: "Sister, what are you thinking? How could you put such a heavy hand? You almost bit off his wrist?"
Li Lanfang was also a little guilty, but he refused to admit defeat and spat: "Who made him bully me so recklessly? Xiu'er, don't be afraid, I already recognized him as my grandson last night."
“…”
Xiu'er vomited blood instantly.
She really couldn't imagine what kind of brain circuit her sister had.
However, what made Xiu'er even more speechless was that Xu Changqing was obviously more interested in her sister. Her wrist bite was bleeding, but she didn't pursue it.
This also made Xiu'er realize that she had to change her mind and must not be rash in Li Lanfang, but must maintain it well.
Otherwise, if Li Lanfang does not have the support of Li Lanfang, it would be difficult for her to fight against the two great courtesans Chen Yuanyuan and Bian Yujing.
"Sister, I really don't know what to say about you. You didn't know how fierce he was to me last night."
"Ah? He bullied you last night? Xiu'er, don't be afraid, I'll help you find justice!" Li Lanfang's face changed instantly.
She could allow Xu Changqing to bully herself, but she would never allow Xu Changqing to bully her sister.
But Xiu'er's pretty face turned red instantly. Her stupid sister obviously misunderstood what she meant and didn't know how to explain it for a while...
At this time, Li Lanfang also came to her senses and her pretty face began to get hot, "Xiu'er, I seem to feel a little uncomfortable, I'll go and have a rest first."
Seeing Li Lanfang leaving like she escaped, Xiu'er couldn't help but take a deep breath and stroked her lower abdomen vigorously.
Although the situation is still under control, if her stomach is not strong, it will be useless to say anything.
...
"Brother, please come here."
Half an hour later, Xu Changqing came to a single-family yard in a shanty town near Baizhifang in the outer city.
Not far from the yard, only a canal of more than one meter wide, is a base in Jingying Xidaying, which is also the one where Xu Changqing and Wang Chengenlai picked up craftsmen.
The outside of the yard is ordinary and not big, but there are unique places inside, pavilions, towers, rockery and flowing water, which is so comfortable.
After walking around the yard, Wu Sangui had been waiting here for a long time. There was also a very lively girl in green skirt beside him, who was accompanying Wu Sangui to roast a little lamb.
Seeing Xu Changqing coming, the girl in green dress hurriedly bowed deeply: "I have met Uncle Zhongyi."
Wu Sangui was too lazy to get up, and smiled and said, "Changqing, come, sit down and drink a tea and wait, and it will be done soon."
Xu Changqing came over with a smile, and the girl in green skirt hurriedly helped Xu Changqing move a small round pier. Xu Changqing sat down with the flow and said with a smile: "Second brother is so romantic."
Wu Sangui gave Xu Changqing a angrily glance and said, "What should I do if I don't have a good mood? Can the second brother compete with you? Both courtesans have entered the room. Hey, what's going on with you?"
Wu Sangui also discovered the bandage wrapped around Xu Changqing's wrist at this time.
Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I accidentally let the puppy at home take a bite."
"Ha ha."
Wu Sangui laughed: "Changqing, I didn't expect that you will be today too!"
I immediately laughed and leaned back and forth.
Xu Changqing gave him a blank look, too lazy to bother with him.
The pretty girl in the green skirt also turned red. Seeing Xu Changqing look over, she hurriedly lowered her head shyly, bowed her softly to Xu Changqing, and whispered: "Brother, I, I'll call my father."
Watching the girl in green skirt leave, Xu Changqing narrowed her eyes slightly, and she could actually let Wu Sangui entertain guests here. This master from Shanxi is really OK.
Wu Sangui smiled and said, "Is Xiao Tan good? Is it prepared for you."
Xu Changqing's expression changed slightly: "Second brother, our brother, you can't dig a hole for me."

”
Wu Sangui took out the dagger, smiled and cut a piece of meat from the golden lamb, and put it in his mouth in a slight manner: "Brother, why are you trying to cheat you? Why do you say the old saying? Just collect it for you! These Shanxi old people are rich and generous, don't be careless. Such a lovely girl has a lot of dowry. Do you want to be cheap? "
"Second brother, this is the reason, but I'm afraid that someone's appetite is too big and I can't satisfy it." Xu Changqing still maintained enough caution.
This Shanxi native must not be taken lightly!
Wu Sangui smiled and said no more: "Come on, try my second brother's skills. It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed and freehand."
Xu Changqing accompanied Wu Sangui to eat a few bites of mutton here, a coarse linen robe, thin and with a white goatee, under the support of the girl in green skirt, quickly accompanied her to greet her with a smile: "Uncle Zhongyi, I am not feeling well these days, I'm sorry for you to wait for a long time. It's really my fault."
As he said that, he gave a deep gift to the end.
Wu Sangui smiled and said, "Changqing, this is my old friend, Fan Yongdou, from Jiexiu, Shanxi. Haha, Fan Zhanggui is a generous person. Over the years, my second brother, I have been asking Mr. Fan to help me with military supplies."
"Mr. Pingxi is loved by me, but I dare not take it. I am not afraid to take it. It is the honor of my Fan family to be able to serve my Ming Dynasty and Pingxi."
Fan Yongdou hurriedly saluted Wu Sangui again with a very low attitude.
"Shopkeeper Fan, I have long admired the name!"
Xu Changqing was funny in his heart. He was so stingy that he was like the Zhonglie of the Ming Dynasty. He was really good at playing.
However, Xu Changqing will definitely not reveal it easily on his face.
Seeing Xu Changqing's gentle attitude, Fan Yongdou was also relieved. He sat down here and called Xiao Tan, a girl in green skirt, to prepare for a banquet.
Several people exchanged a few greetings and gradually became familiar with each other. Wu Sangui smiled and said, "Changqing, have you ever considered taking action for the batch of supplies you have in Pinggu?"
Fan Yongdou also accompanied Xiao and looked at Xu Changqing cautiously.
Xu Changqing smiled calmly: "It's okay to take action, it's okay not to take action, it's better to look at the price."
Wu Sangui smiled: "Changqing, you can rest assured about this. Manager Fan has been in this industry for a long time. You can check your reputation at will, and you will be sure to give you the most reasonable price."
Fan Yongdou also hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Zhongyi, I, Lao Fan, have no other skills, so I just do some errands to serve tea. However, I, Lao Fan, admire the heroes the most in my life. If you can serve you, Bo. Zhongyi, it is really that the smoke from my Fan family's ancestral grave is coming out."
"Shopkeeper Fan, you are too polite. Let's not be in a hurry for this matter. After these days, I will send you a list. What should we do in detail?"
"Haha, that's right, Fan is abrupt! Come on, two uncles, I'll treat you to each other!"
Soon, dishes were served by the green-skirt girl Xiaotan. There was not much meat, but mostly vegetables, but they were extremely delicate, making people feel very happy when they saw it.
When the dishes were served, Xiao Tan obediently accompanied him, serving tea and pouring water.
But it happened to be next to Xu Changqing, and the pleasant fragrance continued to penetrate into Xu Changqing's heart.
After drinking for a while, talking about the Qing army's war this time, Wu Sangui patted his forehead and smiled, "Changqing, no, brother, I'm a little drunk these days. Go and sleep for a while. You have a good chat with Shopkeeper Fan."
After Wu Sangui finished speaking, he left with a smile. Fan Yongdou hurriedly poured Xu Changqing a glass of wine: "Brother, I will give you another cup. This time the Tartars enter the pass, Boruther is the mainstay of my Ming Dynasty!"
Xu Changqing smiled and drank the glass of wine, and looked at Fan Yongdou's eyes playfully: "Mr. Fan, I am a man, I don't like to hide it! We should explain some words clearly!"
"Forehead……"
Fan Yongdou was stunned. Unexpectedly, Xu Changqing would be so straightforward. He was so busy that he winked at Xiao Tan.
Xiao Tan gave Xu Changqing a little resentful and bowed down obediently.
Fan Yongdou hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother, old man."

I really have no other meaning, I just want to make friends with you! You know, it’s a sin for us businessmen to not be able to handle any relationship.”
Xu Changqing played with the wine glass undeniably: "I wonder which business Mr. Fan wants to discuss with me, Xu Changqing? You won't know that the supplies I have in Pinggu have been transported away with the population, right?"
"Hehe, I know that nothing can be hidden from you, your wise eyes. I really want to discuss business with you, or I wouldn't have invited the great master Pingxi Bo Ye. I wonder, if you need food, you need?"
Fan Yongdou looked at Xu Changqing humbly and cautiously.
"oh?"
Xu Changqing still couldn't resist it, but his vigilance in his heart reached its peak. "I wonder how many Ye Fan has?"
"It's not too much. Within 500,000 taels, I can still take it out. It's all the new grain from last year. If I want it, I can give you another discount to you. 300,000 taels and 5,000 trucks of grain. What about it? Of course, if I don't have any money for the time being, I can also use other payments. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to have a credit!"
Old Fan Yongdou's face was full of sincerity.
"Well..."
Although Xu Changqing still maintained restraint on his face, his chest and abdomen were already a little overwhelming!
Fan Yongdou's son is really scheming!
Xu Changqing really lacks anything else at this time. Shandong has unique geographical advantages and can buy what he wants anytime and anywhere, but the food is really a lifeblood!
The main reason is that the Ming Dynasty has been in trouble for several years, and the self-cultivated farmers have collapsed. The landlord class has land but no one has planted it. It is difficult for you to buy food if you have money.
Especially since the 16th year of Chongzhen, the price of grain has reached an incredible level. The rice has exceeded 500 cents, and no big money is charged. Now all merchants basically only recognize silver.
Fan Yongdou is not doing business at this time, but is just to please Xu Changqing!
Even Xu Changqing had to admire that this old thief later left his name in history and became the leader of the eight imperial merchants in the Qing Dynasty. He was the only merchant who left his name in official history. It was indeed not simple!
His courage, courage, and sincerity are really not something that ordinary people can do.
"Once Fan loves you very much, Changqing is flattered!"
