Embarrassment is sometimes a happy life, just don't be in embarrassment every day.
Feng Qing said: "Today is a double blessing for our Feng family. Shi Erlang, I will change my attitude towards you in the future. It's just that my sister scolded me when we drank with you in the past. But I can't guarantee that she will still scold me when I drink with you in the future." Of course, these two curses were different, and everyone laughed together.
Fang Jinshi saw Feng Wan preparing to leave behind the crowd of guests, so he squeezed over and shouted: "Miss Feng, go slowly."
Shi Quan turned around and suddenly saw him, and said with great joy: "Brother, why are you here?"
Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "I just came back. I'll talk to my eldest brother later." He ran to Feng Wan, took a glass of wine from the table and said, "I will be my eldest sister-in-law from now on, and I want to toast you first today."
Feng Wan's face turned slightly red, she took it and drank it, and then returned to the room. Fang Jinshi came over to talk to Shi Quan and the Feng brothers, drank for a while, and then dispersed.
Before parting, Feng Bao said to Shi Quan: "Shi Erlang, when will you come over to pay the betrothal gift?"
Shi Quan said: "You have to go back to Yong'an County to report to Ming's father. I will go back in the next few days."
Feng Baodao: "The old lady has been looking forward to getting married for a long time. His hair and beard have turned gray from waiting. Just write a letter and go back."
Shi Quan said: "How can you just write a letter about this kind of thing?" Feng Bao then walked away with a smile.
Fang Jinshi and Shi Quan took the donkey cart back together. On the way, Fang Jinshi briefly talked about what happened in Jiangnan, and finally said: "Brother, I handed over Jinxian Village to others without consulting you. I'm really sorry. "
Shi Quandao: "You opened that shop yourself. You always have your own reasons for what you do, and you can't help but say anything."
Fang Jinshi said confidently: "I will definitely redeem it again some time later."
Shi Quanxi said: "I believe this. Think about it, you are doing big business with tens of thousands of guan. Our cloth village has been running for several generations, and we have never had such a big business. If it were me, I would just do it." I can¡¯t sleep because I¡¯m afraid of thinking about it, and I don¡¯t dare to make a decision.¡±
Fang Jinshi said: "My biggest business was a deal worth 500,000 yuan."
Shi Quandao: "Half a million dollars, isn't that a mountain of money?"
Fang Jinshi laughed and said proudly: "It's been exchanged for gold and silver. How can I get all the copper coins?"
Shi Quan said seriously: "That's a lot. I have never seen so much money in my life."
Fang Jinshi said: "That money is not mine, brother. Jin Bing will come over soon and close the Jinxianzhuang shop in Bianliang City. Let's go to Huaixi."
Shi Quandao: "This is not possible. My family is here, where can I go? The Jin soldiers are still far away. No matter how capable they are, can they defeat hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops? Can they grow wings and fly across the Yellow River?"
Fang Jinshi sighed inwardly. It was undoubtedly unrealistic at this time to persuade Shi Quan to give up the business he had built for generations and take his whole family to flee to the south of the Yangtze River.
So Fang Jinshi changed the subject and asked Shi Quandao: "Brother just competed with Miss Feng. Did he really want to win her?"
Shi Quan smiled and said: "How can I make her step down if she wins? Where will she put her face? I just don't want to make it too obvious."
Fang Jinshi said: "Eldest brother still cares about her. To be honest, after delaying for so long, eldest brother is a little unfair to Miss Feng. Today I finally broke the window paper. It is really a happy thing. I really don't understand. Besides not being able to let go of Wang Yumei, eldest brother is worried about something else."
Shi Quandao: "I'm afraid that people will dislike the golden mark on my face, I'm afraid that if I really follow me, others will look down upon me, and also, since we grew up together, we are like sisters, and our brains can't wrap our heads around this. .¡±
Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "Brother thinks too much."
While the two were talking, the donkey cart arrived at Jinxian Village on Yulang Street. As soon as they got off the cart, the store clerk came out to welcome Shi Quan and said, "That Mr. Qin is here again. He is waiting in the guest room."
Shi Quan immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Hewhy is he here again?"
Fang Jinshi saw Shi Quan¡¯s expression and asked, ¡°Who is this Mr. Qin?¡±
Shi Quandao: "It's Qin Zhongcheng's eldest son, his name is Qin Fu. He has nothing to do all day long. He likes to walk birds and fight cocks. Recently he has been pestering me to help him find birds."
Fang Jinshi immediately understood that this Qin Fu Qin Gongzi was the son of Qin Hui. Wang Yumei married Qin Hui and became his concubine. In fact, Qin Hui also had a first wife, and this Qin Fu was the son of Qin Hui's first wife.
" Shi Quan is just a busy businessman who runs a cloth shop. Why would this idle Mr. Qin pester Shi Quan to ask him to help?Finding a good bird was a bit confusing for Fang Jinshi.
He followed Shi Quan into the guest room, and saw a fair-skinned young man about fifteen or sixteen years old using a pen to blacken a pot of flowers and leaves on the table. This young man was dressed in luxurious clothes and had slanted eyebrows. Qin Hui's species, because it is too imitating Qin Hui.
Shi Quan came in, bowed his hands to Qin Fu and said, "Young Master Qin."
Qin Fu kept his hands in his hands and said without looking at Shi Quan: "Shi Quan, when will you take me to your hometown to catch that red-bellied thrush?" He called Shi Quan by his name without any courtesy.
Shi Quandao: "This this kind of thrush is hard to come by. Ping'an County is far away from Bianjing. To catch the birds, you need to go up Songshan Mountain. Mr. Qin really likes this kind of thrush. He paid for it to come from nearby villages." The farmer catches it, so why bother going up the mountain to catch it yourself?"
Qin Fu stopped the brush in his hand. Some ink stuck to his hand, so he went to the table to tear off a page of the account book and wipe it. Without asking whether the account book was still useful, he balled up the paper he wiped and threw it on the table. Then he said to Shi Quan: "You don't understand this. People who really like birds want to see where the birds nest. The best birds are the ones that can be caught with their own hands."
Shi Quan had no choice but to say: "I will go back to Yong'an County in the next few days. If Mr. Qin is interested, we can go together. But I can't guarantee whether we can catch the red-bellied thrush."
What Qin Fu wanted was his words. He immediately turned around and walked out. When he got to the door, he said, "Let me know when you go back." After saying that, he walked out, got on the carriage and went back.
Shi Quan sent him away. When Fang Jinshi saw him coming back, he asked, "Why does Mr. Qin ask you to take him to catch birds?"
Shi Quan smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't know either."
Although Shi Quan said he didn¡¯t know, Fang Jinshi had a vague feeling that it might not be easy for a young master like Qin Fu to meet a businessman like Shi Quan. The only point of intersection between them was Wang Yumei.
"But why did Wang Yumei introduce Qin Fu to Shi Quan? If Wang Yumei still thinks about Shi Quan, then the Qin family should not be allowed to get close to Shi Quan.
What¡¯s more, Fang Jinshi firmly believed that with Shi Quan¡¯s personality, he would never renew his relationship with Wang Yumei secretly.
