This wealth and glory came in a hurry and left in a hurry. After Prince Likaan left, the wine felt tasteless.
Fang Jinshi filled up the wine glass in front of him, then picked up his own wine glass and raised it and said, "Little prince, let's have a drink."
Seeing that he didn't seem to care, Prince Li Ka'an couldn't help but laughed and said: "Mr. Fang, just what the rich shopkeeper meant is that I want to spend a large amount of money to cooperate with you in the short term. I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Fang Jinshi chuckled and said, "The little prince said not long ago that no matter how busy the business is, he can't miss my wedding banquet. The banquet is not over yet, and the little prince mentioned the deal. Does he want to drink wine as a penalty?"
Seeing that his expression was not pretending to be relaxed, Li Ka'an picked up the wine glass and said, "If you drink for free, drink for free." After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and said, "Did you know about this a long time ago?"
Fang Jinshi said: "I don't know how to tell fortunes and divination. How could I know it first? I just thought that it would not be easy. Now that I know the difficulties, it is always better to think of a way than to blindly guess. ¡±
Although he didn't say his words very clearly, Prince Lika'an understood the meaning of his words as soon as he heard it. Prince Lika'an looked at his face and said: "Seeing that you are full of confidence, it seems that you have already figured out how to deal with it. "
Fang Jinshi said: "My confidence depends on the little prince."
Li Ka'an smiled slightly: "Don't think too highly of me. It's good to do business with honest people, but I prefer to cooperate with smart people."
Fang Jinshi put the wine glass on the table and laughed loudly: "You have found the right person. The person named Fang is obviously the smartest person." He didn't know if he drank too much, but he actually A little bit wild, he stretched out his arms and hooked her Lingzhu Baozhu's neck through Huang Jinmian, and pulled them both into his arms. Both women were caught off guard, Huang Jinmian hurriedly threw herself into his arms and pushed her. After hitting him, the wine glass in front of Bao Zhu was overturned, and the wine spilled on her dress. Bao Zhu smiled and was busy wiping it with a handkerchief, seemingly not caring about his more rude pull.
?? Huang Jinmian glanced at Baozhu, and the other party entered the stone and said: "Drink less."
Fang Jinshi said: "Today I officially welcome you in. When you are so happy, how can you drink less? You can have a drink too."
Huang Jinmian rarely drank. She obediently picked up the wine glass and brought it to her lips, wanting to take a sip. Fang Jinshi had already crooked her neck with his right hand, and held the bottom of the wine glass in her hand with his left hand. She drank the glass of wine. After finishing it, Huang Jinmian hurriedly dropped the glass and coughed repeatedly. She could no longer pretend to be reserved. She bumped her elbow with her left arm and cursed: "I'm going to die" These words came out of her mouth. I felt that it was not appropriate to say such words today, so I hurriedly kept quiet and lowered my head.
Fang Jinshi laughed with everyone. He turned around and said loudly: "Bring the wine, bring the wine" He called the people to bring the wine. Someone in the crowd of guests said loudly: "I have the most mellow and fragrant peach blossom wine here. Do you want to submit it?"
Fang Jinshi took a closer look and saw that the man who was speaking was tall and burly, standing a head taller than ordinary people. His face was dark, with a mole on the right side of his face and a few quivering hairs. He turned out to be Li Xiaozhong. .
He was crossing his arms in front of his chest and looking at Fang Jinshi with a smile. Next to him, a man stood with his hands hanging down. Fang Jinshi also knew this man, but he couldn't name him for a while because he couldn't tell that he was his brother Shao Xing and Shao Jinqing. , or his younger brother, Uncle Shao Yunshao.
Fang Jinshi never expected to see them in Pingjiang Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. He said with great joy: "Why is General Li coming to Pingjiang Mansion?"
Li Xiaozhong chuckled and said: "I came to see a relative. There is no General Li. There is a farmer named Li." He turned to the man next to him and said: "Where is the wine? Peach Blossom Alcohol brought from the Central Plains. Woolen cloth?"
The man raised his eyes, rolled his eyes at him and said, "You drank it yourself three days ago, and you still pretended to be deaf and dumb and asked me for wine."
Li Xiaozhong smiled and said, "I'm still wondering if you have something hidden."
Seeing their amusement, Fang Jinshi laughed. The man came over, took off a bundle from his back and said, "Second sister of the Huang family, Sister Zhang asked me to bring this to you." He took out another bundle from his arms. The letter said: "There is also a letter from home."
Huang Jinmian asked a family member to collect the baggage and took the letter herself: "Thank you, brother Shaoxing." She was familiar with the Shao brothers and knew them clearly. Only then did Fang Jinshi conclude that the man in front of him was Shao Xing who followed Zhang Zong'e.
Speaking of Shao Xing being stationed in Roufu County with him, he didn't dare to confirm it. The Shao brothers looked so much alike. Fang Jinshi asked someone to let Li Xiaozhong and Shao Xing sit down at the table. He also introduced them to Prince Li Ka'an. Although he was curious about how they came to Jiangnan together, XiIt was not easy to ask in detail. Li Xiaozhong had a good drinker and was not restrained. Shao Xing was mature and prudent. They sat at the table and quickly became familiar with the people around them.
The banquet lasted for a long time, until late in the evening, many guests were too drunk to say goodbye and left. Zhu Yanyan did not forget to ask Fang Jinshi for a lucky draw before leaving. In the end, only Prince Li Ka'an and the others were left.
Prince Li Ka'an said: "Brother Fang, I have also drank wine. Taking advantage of the strength of the wine to strengthen my courage, we signed a contract to exchange coins. If I wake up from drinking tomorrow, I won't have the courage."
Of course Fang Jinshi said yes, so during the banquet, he removed the food and wine on the table, made room for it, and presented the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Shi Hao volunteered, "Little prince, can I write the writing?"
Li Ka'an held a glass of wine in his hand and shook his head and said: "I'm dizzy at this time. I'm afraid you've deceived me, so come here." He was talking about an entourage following him. This entourage was from the Central Plains. He was Employed to write treaty documents, this follower walked to the table and dipped his pen in ink. He turned to look at Prince Likaan and waited for his instructions.
Li Ka'an, perhaps really a little drunk, scolded: "Look at what I did, just write that Mr. Fang paid ten to one, and exchanged Liao money for Song money, totaling five hundred thousand guan."
Shi Hao hurriedly said: "Didn't we agree to exchange one for one?"
Li Ka'an said: "Do you think I really drank too much? Now that Liao money is ten to one, it is already worth the money. Have you killed Mr. Fang?"
Fang Jinshi said: "This is not wrong."
Li Ka'an glared at the follower and said, "Why don't you write it quickly?"
The attendant quickly wrote out a deed according to the format. Likaan watched him finish writing and copied another copy. Then he entered the stone and said, "Brother Fang, come here and stamp it."
Fang Jinshi came over and took a brief look at the deed. Then he took his seal and stamped the two deeds respectively. Shi Hao couldn't help but sigh when he saw that he had stamped the two deeds.
Prince Li Ka'an waited for him to seal it, then approached and said, "I want to seal one too." He took the seals and used them separately, then picked up one of them, brought it to his eyes, scratched it with his finger, and handed it to Fang Fang. Jinshi said: "It's settled. Brother Fang will send someone to my house to exchange money starting from tomorrow."
Fang Jinshi smiled and agreed. Li Ka'an finally finished the glass of wine he had been holding for a long time, asked his entourage to take his share of the deed on the table, and left.
Seeing him leave, Shi Hao couldn't help but said: "I spent a lot of effort, but in the end it was all in vain."
Fang Jinshi said: "If the deed has not been signed, how can it be in vain?"
Shi Hao said: "We agreed to exchange one for one. If we exchange ten for one, the deed will be a piece of waste paper."
Fang Jinshi took out the deed and handed it to him and said, "If you take a good look, can you tell what the secret is?" He ignored Shi Hao and the deed and said to Li Xiaozhong and Shao Xing, "We are Are you continuing to serve wine, or are you going to drink in my room?"
Li Xiaozhong smiled and said: "It's different when you become a big businessman, and your drinking capacity has also increased."
Shao Xing hurriedly grabbed his words and said: "It's better to find a quieter place to drink tea." He was afraid that he would continue drinking it endlessly.
Fang Jinshi said: "Okay, I also want to hear how Roufu County is doing now." He asked people to clean up the mess, and Baozhu returned to his residence. Fang Jinshi entertained Li Xiaozhong and Shao Xing in his house, and asked people to After making tea, he came over, sat down, and then entered the stone and said, "You two came to Pingjiang Mansion, didn't you come here specifically to see me?"
Shao Xing said: "That's right. Sister-in-law Zhang asked me to bring some things to the second sister of the Huang family. Who knew that when we arrived in Bianliang, you had already come to Huaidong. You had to come to Huaidong to find medicine for Brother Zhang, so I stopped by to take a look. "
Huang Jinmian happened to step into the room and asked hurriedly: "What medicine are you looking for? What happened to my brother-in-law?"
Shao Xing said: "Brother Zhang is not ill, it's just that his previous back sore has recurred."
Huang Jinmian frowned and said, "Is it still caused by the previous injury? Hasn't it been cured long ago?"
Shao Xing said: "It was still caused by the waist injury, but girls from the Huang family don't have to worry. Doctor Sun Zongxisun looked at it and said it's not serious. He gave a prescription, saying that if you want to cure it, just drink herbal soup for a year or two. This prescription The little rock cypress and another herb from Jiangnan are the best, so I went to find some of the best ones."
Fang Jinshi interrupted: "Have you found it yet? I'll ask some big medicinal material dealers tomorrow."
Shao Xing said: "That is the best. To be honest, I don't know which one is best. I always want to prepare more and take it back to Dr. Sun."
?? Huang Jinmian said: "Brother-in-law and sister are just too overworked. If you can take a good rest for half a year,How many months, how could it relapse? My sister has always wanted to leave Huimeng Mountain and find a place to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. "
Shao Xing said: "Huimeng Mountain has been essentially recruited by the court. There are government tax collectors in Gutian Town at the foot of the mountain. Brother Zhang and Sister Zhang will soon be able to retire to the mountains and forests, but the court will not allow it for the time being."
Fang Jin and Shi Daqi asked: "Why is this? Is it possible that the officers and soldiers still want to kill them all but they can't?"
Shao Xing said: "That's not the case. It's just that there has been no clear discussion among the officers and soldiers about who will be recruited. Logically speaking, Fan Zhixu, the governor of the Yongxing Army, should be accepted. It's just that Wang Bian, the governor of Qingzhou's economic strategy and pacification, also wanted to make a great contribution. , even Liu Xiliang, who is so far away, sent people to ask for Brother Zhang, Xie Liang, the chief military officer who controls the four northwest armies, has other plans, and for a while he doesn¡¯t know how to recruit people."
