Chapter 186 Sweetheart
Xie Zhao moved very close to Jiang Yuzhu, leaning forward slightly, his lacquered eyes filled with a smile and a sense of urgency. Jiang Yuzhu had no way to retreat and could only be pressed against the wall of the car by Xie Zhao.
When their lips touched, the sky and the earth became dark.
After a long time, Jiang Yuzhu grabbed the fabric on her chest and panted.
Who could have thought that Xie Zhaoming was such a handsome man, but every time the couple were intimate, he would be like a predatory wolf, tearing her clothes into pieces.
Lowering her eyes and seeing the red mark on her chest, Jiang Yuzhu said angrily, "We are still in the carriage, you..."
Xie Zhao's eyes were deep, and he sighed with satisfaction, his voice low and hoarse: "Your husband naturally knew that we were in a carriage, otherwise I would not be so restrained."
…
After three days of bumps and bruises on the road, we finally arrived at Yongning Town.
Yongning Town is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and Longhu Mountain is located in the territory of Yongning Town.
The group stopped to replenish supplies. Xie Zhao put on a pockmarked mask and Jiang Yuzhu made herself look ugly. The couple found the owner of the opera troupe that worked for Aunt Zhang.
The boss's surname was Xu, and he looked like a rat. When he heard that the two were Aunt Zhang's relatives, he asked cautiously, "She said she would send her niece to contact them. Why did she change someone?"
Aunt Zhang kept a copy of the letter she had sent out. The content did not mention her niece, only relatives. Mr. Xu said this on purpose, most likely to deceive them.
Facing the question, Xie Zhao calmly said: "Master Xu, did you make a mistake?"
Next, Xie Zhao roughly repeated the contents of the letter.
Boss Xu frowned at first, but when he saw that everything was right, he relaxed a little and arranged for the couple to stay temporarily in Yongning Town.
As for going to Longhu Mountain to meet the big boss, Master Xu did not say anything final: "This Xu still needs to ask for instructions, you two should be patient."
Jiang Yuzhu said indifferently: "Since we are here, we are here to discuss a big deal. If Longhushan is not sincere, then forget it."
If you have gold and silver, why worry about not being able to find a way to the black market?
Aunt Zhang and her husband came down from Black Tiger Mountain, and they still had some respect for the boss.
Jiang Yuzhu mentioned the way out and acted nonchalant.
At this point, Class Master Xu became anxious and said in a smooth-talking manner: "You two, let's talk it over nicely!"
In this line of work, as long as you have goods, you have money, and there are plenty of channels.
Boss Xu was very worried that Aunt Zhang and her husband would directly trade with several major shops in Jiangnan, and excluded him as a middleman. His words were much softer and more flattering: "It's not that I'm trying to refuse, but there will be a wedding in Longhu Mountain the day after tomorrow, and the head of the family will marry a beautiful bride. I'm afraid that business talks will have to give way to the wedding."
"The beautiful lady is the daughter of the owner of the largest rice shop in Yongning Town. She is as beautiful as a flower and has been raised in seclusion since she was a child. No one knows how her veil fell off when she went out to burn incense. However, she was favored by the boss..."
Boss Xu talked a lot and complained that business was not good recently. He hoped that Aunt Zhang would be more lenient and give him more kickbacks.
After all, when doing business in the black market, Mr. Xu has to bear huge risks as he is caught in the middle.
"But Mr. Mi, the rice merchant in town?"
The Mi family took root in Yongning Town and became very wealthy.
Mr. Mi has many granaries in Jiangnan. A few years ago, Mr. Mi's father passed away. He took his wife and daughter back to his hometown and raised his daughter according to Jiangnan rules and never showed up in public.
Boss Xu nodded and said, "That's right."
As they were talking, loud shouting was heard from the street.
Boss Xu drew the curtain and stood by the door, watching. He pointed at a middle-aged man with a ruddy face and said, "What a coincidence, that's Master Mi. If he goes up against the people from Longhu Mountain, he'll probably suffer a loss!"
There was a carriage lying across the street, and Mr. Mi was confronting several aggressive men.
The leader had one eye covered with a black cloth, and a tiger tattooed from the bottom of his cheek to the exposed part of his neck. The one-eyed man smiled crookedly and said, "Master Mi, the big day is approaching, where do you want to go?"
Mr. Mi's face flushed, and he was furious when he heard this: "In broad daylight, do you bandits have any law?"
His daughter is innocent and has been pampered for more than ten years. She cannot follow the beast from Longhu Mountain!
The boss issued an ultimatum. After thinking it over, Mr. Mi decided not to just sit there and wait for death, so he secretly changed carriages and slipped out through the back door.
Mr. Mi took all kinds of precautions, but he still couldn't protect his servants. The steward was bribed by the bandits and ran out to tip off the bandits immediately.
One-Eyed Man took a few steps forward with his brothers, his smile gone, and he said grimly, "Master Mi, we are treating you well for the sake of our boss. If you refuse to accept our toast, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
After all, the boss is interested in Miss Mi, not her father.
Whether there is Mr. Mi or not doesn’t make much difference.
"You...you are going too far!"
Mr. Mi was so angry that he choked and it took him a long time to utter a complete sentence.
He wanted to continue confronting the bandits, but a clear voice rang out from the carriage, "Dad, I'll marry you!"
Then the car door opened and a lady in a light pink dress walked out.
Master Mi hurried forward to block it, and said in shock: "Shulan, what nonsense are you talking about? Even if Daddy risked his life, he would never let a beast abuse you!"
Mr. Mi has already sent people to inquire, and he knows that the imperial envoy from the capital who is transporting grain and fodder is passing by here. He is willing to use the Mi family's granary in exchange for his daughter's freedom.
I heard that a large group of people have arrived in Yongping Town, so there is still hope for the Mi family!
Mi Shulan bowed to Duyaner and said, "The weather is nice today. Shulan and Daddy are going out for a stroll. Please say a few good words to the First Boss."
Mi Shulan said this, turning her head to look at the maid, who reluctantly handed over her purse.
The one-eyed man weighed it and sneered, "Miss Mi is smart. Advise your father that for things that cannot be resisted, the only way to avoid trouble and accept it as soon as possible is to suffer less!"
"Thank you very much."
Mishulan showed no expression and turned around and got on the carriage.
On the street, the conflict between the two sides quickly came to an abrupt end.
Boss Xu crossed his legs to watch the fun and gossiped, "This Miss Mi is a great beauty, but unfortunately she has someone she loves. Maybe she wants to see her lover."
Jiang Yuzhu heard about the Mi family's business and was interested in cooperating with them. She asked, "Why didn't Miss Mi marry her lover?"
“Because it’s a delusion!”
There was no one idle around, and Boss Xu had a habit of chattering, "Do you know who Miss Mi's sweetheart is? The youngest top scholar in the history of Da Qi who won three first prizes in a row, the current Minister of Works, Mr. Xie Zhaoxie!"
"Miss Mi grew up in Jiangnan. I heard that after meeting Mr. Xie at a poetry gathering, she became lovesick."
The beauties admired the talented man, but it was a pity that Xie Zhao was of high status and had already been married, which broke the hearts of many girls.
"Ms. Mi was probably planning to meet Mr. Xie, but it's a pity."
The leader of Longhu Mountain has married several wives, but none of them lived for more than three years.
There are rumors that the boss is unlucky in marriage, and there are also rumors that the bandits in Longhu Mountain eat both meat and vegetables and like to share wives. As long as a woman goes up the mountain, she is doomed to be in danger.
