    Liu Rumei's expression was solemn, which made Fang Jinshi feel that the business she was talking about must not be simple.

    A strong river wind blew by, causing the boat to bump a few times. Fang Jinshi pulled up his clothes, sat down carefully to show his attention, and then asked: "What business?"

    Liu Rumei said: "I have thought about this for a long time. After much thought, you are the most suitable person, but it is still difficult to make up my mind. I didn't want to see you, but you bumped into me at Mianxianzhuang. See  God is going to force me to make up my mind early."

    Fang Jinshi said: "So, you must have known me for a long time." He didn't ask what the business was, because he knew Liu Rumei would tell him right away.

    "I told you a long time ago that I met you when you were in the northwest." Liu Rumei said, "With your intelligence, you should have easily guessed my identity. It's just like a layer of window paper."  It¡¯s difficult, you take it for granted that something should be like this or that, but in fact there are exceptions, and that¡¯s the crux of it that¡¯s hard for you to guess.¡±

    "Exception? For example, you were a woman disguised as a man before, so I can't figure it out." Fang Jinshi tilted his head and looked at her, "I shouldn't be able to recognize someone as handsome as you, even if you're disguised as a man.  Come out."

    He praised Liu Rumei casually, and Liu Rumei actually praised him happily, and said with a smile: "You have such a sweet mouth, no wonder you have coaxed so many beautiful women to be willing to hang around you."

    Fang Jinshi laughed: "Is it useful to you?"

    Liu Rumei said: "It's useful even if it's a woman. I'm also a woman, so of course it's useful." Maybe this compliment is really useful. Liu Rumei walked closer to him, sat down next to him, tilted her head and held her chin in her hands to take a closer look.  She looked at him and said, "I used to think you were too average-looking, and even a little ugly, but now that you've gotten used to it, you seem to be quite pleasing to the eye."

    After listening to her words, Fang Jinshi felt that his bones became a lot lighter. With the beautiful woman sitting next to him, his heart became restless again. He unconsciously put his hand around Liu Rumei from the waist, but Liu Rumei knocked his hand off with a palm.  She snarled: "I'm telling you something very solemn and serious, and you just want to take advantage of me."

    "Okay, okay, let's get down to business." Fang Jinshi quickly sat up straight, "You tell me directly where you saw me, and you go around asking me to guess riddles. How boring."

    "It's not interesting if I say it out loud. If I say it to you, you don't dare to be so presumptuous. It's not interesting to you. I'm thinking about you." Liu Rumei said happily.

    "After talking for a long time, you still haven't told me what business you want to do with me." Fang Jinshi said.

    Liu Rumei stopped smiling, paused for a moment and whispered: "I want you to keep some money for me, whether it is in the bank or you can find another place. In short, it must be foolproof and you can return it to me whenever you need it."

    Fang Jinshi said: "This is not difficult. I am a banker. I have many big customers every day. I don't know how much money you are going to put in."

    Liu Rumei said: "I think it should be about 70,000 to 80,000 taels."

    Although this amount is indeed very large, considering his status as the young master of Sihai Trading Company, it is not very scary. Fang Jinshi nodded, but he still asked one more question: "Seven or eighty thousand taels of silver?"

    "Gold." Liu Rumei uttered these two words softly, which surprised Fang Jinshi, which also made him cautious. He looked back at Liu Rumei and asked, "How long do you want to keep it?"

    However, Liu Rumei sighed and said after a long while: "It's hard to say. Maybe it can't be stored for two months, maybe it can be stored for a long time, maybe even ten or twenty years, but you have to make sure that you have it when I want it.  give me back."

    "Then under what circumstances will you ask me to repay? What if I really can't pay it back?" Fang Jinshi was a little strange when he heard her say that he was not sure about the repayment period. Liu Rumei said in a heavy tone: "Let me ask you  When you want it, it's time to pay it back. As for when I will pay it back, I can't tell you now. If you don't pay me back by then, or you can't pay me back, then II can't do anything to you. I will definitely  I¡¯m so sad, then I really misjudged the wrong person, and he deserves to die like this.¡±

    Fang Jinshi saw that she was a little agitated, so he patted her shoulder gently and said, "Don't worry, you will never misjudge the wrong person. But why did you do this, let me know first."

    Liu Rumei shook her head: "I don't want you to know at the moment, but you will definitely know in the future. Let's put it this way, even if you really want me in the future, even if I give you children, when I want you to pay me back  You must return it to me."

    Fang Jinshi looked back at her, Liu Rumei was also staring at his face, she seemed to want to see something from his eyes, Fang Jinshi scratched his scalp: "In this case, wouldn't it be safer and more convenient to have it in your own hands?"  "

    Liu Rumei said: "IAs for other difficulties, besides, what I say now is still effective, and there is no guarantee that something will not happen in the future.  "She stood up, walked to the bow of the boat and continued: "I am taking a big gamble, and this time I am betting on myself. The only thing I am betting on is whether I will see the wrong person.  "

    No matter how smart and thoughtful Fang Jinshi is, he can't guess what Liu Rumei said. He sat there and thought for a while and said, "Then I don't agree to keep the gold for you. Do we have to discuss it?"

    Liu Rumei said: "No one can force you, so I can see your people clearly earlier and admit defeat earlier."

    Fang Jinshi said seriously: "This can save your gold. You must not think too highly of me. There are too many people in the world who are more capable and smarter than me"

    Liu Rumei turned around and said, "You will shrink from something that is of great benefit to you and has no harm at all?" Fang Jinshi was stunned and said, "Then when are you going to give me this gold?"

    Liu Rumei said: "Be well prepared. When you return to Jiangnan, I will send someone to deliver it to you. There are still variables in this matter. Maybe it changes too fast and I don't need you to keep it for me."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Okay."

    He sat there without speaking for a long time. Liu Rumei sat back beside him again and asked in a low voice: "Don't you have anything else you want to ask?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "You didn't tell me even if I asked."

    Liu Rumei bumped him with her elbow and said, "That's all you can tell me if you ask me."

    Fang Jinshi lowered his head and thought for a while: "Where does all your gold come from? Can you tell me?"

    Liu Rumei said: "It is the inheritance of my ancestors, and I killed a large group of bandits in the northwest and took all their money as my own, most of it. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "I am absolutely satisfied. Okay, I have nothing more to ask."

    Liu Rumei stretched a lot and said with a relaxed expression: "Finally, I have solved the big problem that was weighing on my heart and preventing me from sleeping well. It will not be so tiring in the future."

    Fang Jinshi said: ¡°I¡¯ve never seen anyone say it¡¯s easy when they give money to others.¡±

    Liu Rumei laughed and said, "Then I'll let you experience it. Okay, I'm in a good mood today and I can have a glass of wine with you."

    Fang Jinshi held up the oars and asked, "Do you want to go back to Huiyue Tower?"

    Liu Rumei said: "It's up to you. I'll follow you wherever you take me. I don't care." After she said that, she really didn't care. She hugged her shoulders and lay down on the bow of the boat, closing her eyes.

    Fang Jinshi shook the oars, preparing to go back against the current and return to Huiyue Tower. However, he spent a long time without moving far. Liu Rumei lay on the board and did not move. Fang Jinshi walked to her and knelt down to pat her: "Get up."  , how can you row against it while rowing against the current?" Liu Rumei turned her back and turned to the other side, still closing her eyes and saying: "I don't care."

    She was completely relieved by Fang Jinshi and allowed him to take her anywhere. Fang Jinshi had no choice but to turn over the wooden oar and continue to float down the river. He didn't know how far he had drifted. On the back of a building on the river bank was written "ºÍ "Ji Carriage and Horse Cart Shop" were five big characters. When Fang Jinshi saw the sign of this shop, he suddenly thought that Song Qian had told him before that if he wanted to find Song Qian, he should go to the Heji Cart and Horse Cart Shop in the west of the city and find a man.  Shopkeeper Zheng can find him.

    This is the west of the city. Fang Jinshi is not sure whether the carriage shop on the bank of the river is the one Song Qian and Song Fifth Brother mentioned. But since it is on the bank, it is better to go and ask.

    Fang Jinshi met Lu Xiao at the Huibin Building, and wanted to tell Song Qian that this was what Song Qian had told him. Fang Jinshi also had a little thought. Song Qian also came back from the northwest, and he might have met Liu Rumei in the northwest.  , if they knew each other, then Liu Rumei¡¯s identity would definitely not be kept secret.

    So Fang Jinshi decided to take Liu Rumei with him and went to find Song Qian. Although Song Qian didn't want people to know where he lived, Fang Jinshi felt that Liu Rumei would not do him any harm, so he made up his mind to dock the boat.  Go to the shore of the big car shop.

    The Jima Cart Shop also transports some goods from the Bianhe River waterway, and it also has a large pier. If Fang Jinshi knows that if you pay, the shop will have someone to look after the boat, and can even transport the boat to your designated place.  .

    Approaching the dock, Liu Rumei sat up, looked at the people coming and going at the pier, and asked Fang Jinshi: "Where is this?"

    Fang Jinshi docked the boat, jumped onto the shore and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to drink with me? I just found a place."

    Liu Rumei picked up her skirt and jumped onto the shore. Fang Jinshi found the waiter of the store and gave him some money to look after the boat. After asking, he learned that there was only one carriage and horse shop called Hutchison in the west of the city.?It's the one Song Qian mentioned.

    Fang Jinshi took Liu Rumei into the Hutchison Horse Cart Shop. The shop was very large, noisy and lively. The people who came and went were poor porters and grooms from the lower class driving carts. There was a lot of horse manure on the road, but no one came.  After cleaning up, Liu Rumei frowned and took a brocade handkerchief to cover her mouth while walking.

    Women are rare in this big car shop, let alone a young girl like Liu Rumei wearing expensive and clean plain clothes. From time to time, a rude and disheveled man turns around to look at her. It only takes a hundred or so to walk from the dock to the entrance.  Step by step, Liu Rumei caused a wave of turning around. Some pointed boldly with their fingers and made audible comments. If Li Bagan waited for her subordinates to follow, they would probably destroy this big car shop.  Overturned.

    Liu Rumei chased Fang Jinshi and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

    Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "Let's eat and drink. Didn't you say you could drink with me? You also said you could find a place for me. Can't you do it here?"

    Liu Rumei looked at the surrounding environment, turned around and said, "Okay, but is there wine here?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "Big car shops have the most drunkards. How can we do it without alcohol?"

    He looked at the big car shop and felt that the wing on the right was the place to eat, so he led Liu Rumei into the wing on the right. As expected, it was the canteen of the big car shop. There were more than 20 big men eating at several tables, and there was another table.  While playing guessing loudly, I heard the sound of wine jars breaking from time to time.

    The air here is dirty, and the tables and chairs are covered with oil. There will be no woman eating here, let alone a beautiful girl like Liu Rumei. As soon as Liu Rumei appeared in the dining hall, the noise immediately became much quieter.  , even the people at the drinking and guessing table gradually lowered their voices until they found her.

    Fang Jinshi said, "Is it okay to have a drink here?" Liu Rumei said, "What's not okay?" She took the lead and walked to the nearest unoccupied table, took out the brocade handkerchief, and put it on the mat, which was dirty, oily, and dirty.  He sat down on the uneven stool.

    Fang Jinshi laughed and sat down opposite her. Liu Rumei asked, "What kind of wine is there?" As soon as she came in, not only the big men eating looked at her, but also the waiter who greeted the customers in the store also looked at her. At this time, she asked  , the waiter in the shop ran over quickly and said: "These are some very spicy and bad wines. Whatever wine the girl wants to drink, I will go out and buy it."

    Fang Jinshi said to the waiter: "I'm looking for shopkeeper Zheng. I wonder if he is here now?"

    The waiter said with a smile: "I don't know about that. Shopkeeper Zheng is always very busy, I'm afraid he won't be here."

    Fang Jinshi took out a dozen copper coins and put them on the table, and said: "Send a message to shopkeeper Zheng that a customer is looking for him. These coins are yours." The waiter in the shop smiled and took them out, turned around and went out. Fang Jinshi was now deep in thought.  Understand the thoughts of these store waiters, and never waste unnecessary time on things that can be done with a small amount of money.

    Fang Jinshi watched the waiter walk out, stood up and said to Liu Rumei, "Let's wait outside. The smell here is not very good."

    Liu Rumei followed him to the door and said, "Aren't you going to have a drink here?"

    Fang Jinshi smiled: "The wine here is not for people like you. Even if I take you to drink, I won't let you come to a place like this. I'm looking for a friend." He just tried to test it, and his impression of Liu Rumei  It feels great, and I feel that she is somewhat similar to Cui Niannu. She can be lifted up to the sky, but can also be as low as dust without any pretense.

    The effect of making money is indeed different. Shopkeeper Zheng, who was obviously very busy as the waiter said, quickly followed the waiter. However, he obviously did not know Fang Jinshi. He was a businessman after all, and he saw that Fang Jinshi was dressed luxuriously and had a beautiful face.  The woman, Shopkeeper Zheng, cupped her hands from a distance and said, "Young Master, I am Shopkeeper Zheng here. I don't know what kind of business I have to take care of the trumpet."

    Fang Jinshi didn't talk nonsense to him, and casually returned the salute and said: "I am a friend of Song Qian and Song Wuge, and I want to talk to him about something. He said he would come and trouble Shopkeeper Zheng if he has anything to do. I wonder if Shopkeeper Zheng has seen him today.  .¡±

    Shopkeeper Zheng said: "You must be from Fang Guan. Brother Song Wu specifically mentioned it to me. He is definitely not at home right now. He is probably at Luo Laohu's house. I will ask someone to take Fang Guan to have a look."

    Fang Jinshi said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry to bother you, Shopkeeper Zheng.¡±

    Shopkeeper Zheng said politely, found a waiter, and led Fang Jinshi to Luo Laohu's house as he mentioned.
