On the evening of June 28, at the entrance of a magnificent mansion in Maple Leaf Lane west of Chunxi Bridge, a dark-skinned young man dressed as a servant in short clothes walked straight up the steps in front of the mansion.
The two servants guarding the door were chatting and joking by the door. Seeing the arrival of a stranger, the two servants immediately stood up alertly. A servant with a pockmarked face shouted: "What are you doing? Why are you running around?
?”
The young man pointed at the red lacquer door and asked, "Brothers, is this the residence of Master Zhang Tongpan?"
Another healthy servant with a red face and rosacea shouted: "Are you blind? Didn't you see the word 'Zhang's Mansion'? It is the residence of Lord Zhang in Hangzhou. What are you doing? Don't mess around here if you have nothing to do."
Chuang, this is not a place for you to wander around."
The young man hurriedly accompanied him and said with a smile: "Brothers, this is really Zhang Tongpan's mansion. This is great. We have finally found it. I came here to deliver a letter to Zhang Tongpan on the order of my family's head. Here,
This is the letter. Please report it to Zhang Tongpan."
The pockmarked servant frowned and said, "Which house are you from?"
"Oh, I'm the letter-delivery boy from the Lin family in Yongjinmen," the young man said.
"From the Lin family? Isn't the servant who delivered the letter from the Lin family Lao Yang? Why have you been replaced today? And you don't even know if our place is Zhang Tongpan's mansion."
"Oh, Uncle Yang is sick, so I'm running errands for him. I just joined the Lin family as a boy, and I don't understand many things. I don't know Mr. Zhang's family, so I asked you all the way. You two.
Brother, let me know quickly. I have to rush back." The young man looked a little nervous and his calves were trembling.
"Come on, come in. Follow me." The rosacea-nosed man waved his hand, opened the side door and went in. The young man breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed him into the yard.
The Zhang family's mansion is really luxurious. Of course, it is much smaller than the Lin family. After all, the Lin family is an old mansion where the family lives together. But even so, it has a scale of three to six. The young man held a letter in his trembling hand.
, stood waiting outside the hall. After a while, the servants of the Zhang family informed the inner house. Zhang Mian, the general magistrate of Hangzhou, got the news and ordered someone to come out and take the letter in.
Zhang Mian is about forty years old, with a fat face, big ears, and a shiny face. He looks pampered at first glance. At this moment, he is lying on a chair in the yard drinking tea. Two maids next to him are gently fanning him.
The master bowed and stood aside to serve the tea.
The letter was delivered to his hand. Zhang Mian took out the letter with his thick fingers, shook it and looked at it twice, then turned and asked the master: "Old Hu, we don't have anything to do in the afternoon tomorrow."
Master Hu bowed and said, "Shopkeeper Wan from the North Gate said a few days ago that he would like to treat you to dinner. I have arranged it until noon tomorrow."
"Stop it, we'll talk about the dinner with Shopkeeper Wan later. Let's go to Chunlai Teahouse tomorrow. Lin Boyong invited me to have tea at Chunlai Teahouse tomorrow afternoon."
The master smiled and said: "The water transport is coming soon, Lin Boyong must confirm this matter with the Lord. This is a big deal, so I have to meet him. Lin Boyong is also strange, hasn't he always been unwilling to meet with the Lord in public? Why did he suddenly make an appointment in
Is it a teahouse?"
Zhang Mian chuckled and said: "Yes, this is called wanting to be a bitch and leaving a reputation at the same time. I am afraid that people will say that I, Zhang Mian, helped him organize the Lin family's water transport business. This Lin Boyong is also very hypocritical. I ordered you to tell me
The person who delivered the letter from the Lin family said that I would definitely arrive tomorrow afternoon."
"yes."
Master Hu walked to the gate of the courtyard holding the corner of his robe and ordered someone to reply to the servant who had delivered the letter to the Lin family. However, not long after, the servant who went to reply came back.
"Master Hu, the Lin family's letter-delivery boy said, please write a reply so that he can go back and deliver the errand."
"What kind of reply should I write? I usually just send someone to inform me. I was still puzzled when Lin Boyong wrote today. There are so many things." Zhang Mian frowned and cursed.
"That's a newly hired boy from the Lin family. I'm afraid he doesn't understand the rules and might have done something wrong. Why are you angry with him? Why don't you just write a note and take it back to him?"
Master Hu said with a busy smile.
Zhang Mian frowned and said nothing. Master Hu entered the room. After a while, he wrote a note and showed it to Zhang Mian to read. Zhang Mian nodded, impatiently made the payment, and waved his hand. Soon after, this
The note was delivered to the hand of the boy who delivered the message to the Lin family. The boy kept swallowing his saliva, put the note in his arms and left. When he arrived at the gate, he didn't pay attention to his feet for some reason, and he fell down and fell into disgrace.
The two healthy servants in the porter saw that he was in such a miserable state that they pointed at him and laughed wildly. The young man stood up with a grin on his face, ignoring the dust on his body, and left quickly.
At the corner of the street, a carriage was waiting there. The young man came to the carriage, opened the carriage door and jumped in. Someone in the carriage smiled and asked, "Did you get it?"
"I got it. Uncle, I'm covered in sweat and my face is sticky."
"Be patient. You can't wipe off the black sludge on your face right now, lest anyone recognize you. Besides, with this layer of sludge, others won't be able to see the fear on your face."
"Yeah! I did have a fever on my face just now."
The carriage started moving through the streets and alleys. At the time of the blackout, it stopped at Xihe Street. Two people, one tall and one short, got off the carriage. The black-faced boy walked towards the Lin family's mansion. After arriving at the door, he handed the note
He gave it to the concierge. The concierge sent him in. The young man stopped staying and walked straight away, following the stone steps to the shadow under the Xihe Pier.
There, another tall figure was waiting.
"Take off all your clothes and wash off the sludge on your face."
"Um."
The young man stripped naked, got into the water, scrubbed and washed with wet clothes, revealing his true face.
"Put on your clothes." The figure of Xiu Shuo took off a package from his back, and when the boy quickly changed into another set of clothes, another person had already wrapped the boy's wet clothes in the package, and added a few large pieces of clothes.
The stones were bundled together tightly, and with a raised hand, there was a 'plop' sound, and the package sank into the water.
…
At noon, Lin Quan was finally able to get out of the shop. Although he only ran a few grain and oil shops, it was not as big as Lin Ke and others who were in charge of a big business such as shipping and transportation. But for Lin Quan, all this is now
He can still be satisfied.
In fact, the Lin family started out by collecting grain. The ancestors of the Lin family relied on hoarding rice grains and selling them at high prices during famine years to make a fortune. Therefore, although the Lin family's business is now diversified, several grain and oil shops have still been preserved. This is
It also means to warn future generations not to forget the roots of their fortune. Being able to take charge of a grain and oil store is also an honor to some extent.
After leaving the 'Longxing' shop on Xihedong Street, Lin Quan called for a sedan and ordered the bearers to carry him towards the Xima Bridge on the Shiyao River. Every other day, he had to go to the Xima Bridge.
Not for anything else, just for Yingxiang, the girl he has been keeping for two years.
Lin Quan is very satisfied with his current life, but the only flaw is his wife Qian. She has a bad temper, but the key is that Qian is too jealous. Is Lin Quan willing to hang himself from a tree?
He was fighting against the dead man all the time. Three years ago, he wanted to take a concubine, but the Qian family kept arguing and threatened her with death. It was best to go to the head of the family. For the sake of the overall situation, the head of the family gave Lin Quan a severe scolding. Because of the Qian family's
Her natal family is also a large family in Hangzhou and is a competitor of the Lin family. In order to ease the business conflicts, Lin Boyong made the decision to let Lin Quan marry Qian. In the end, this marriage settled the business disputes between the two families and allowed them to become rivals.
They became partners. Some industries in the city were almost monopolized by the two companies.
However, in this case, Lin Quan was miserable. He could only watch his cousins in the big house gather their wives and concubines, and he could only guard a dominatrix. Of course, Lin Quan did not want to be idle at home.
The maids would eat in secret if they could. Qian's maid Qiurong was raped by Lin Quan when he was not at home. After that, whenever he had the chance, he would force Qiurong to submit. He also wanted to accept Qiurong in return.
As a concubine as a promise, but in fact everyone including Qiurong knew that his words were just words. Because Qian knew that he would eat people. To a certain extent, it was Qian's extreme jealousy.
As a result, Qiurong swallowed her anger after being bullied, and was succeeded by Lin Quan again and again but did not dare to speak out. Because once she spoke out, Qiurong herself had no way to survive.
Fortunately, Lin Quan quickly lost interest in Qiurong because he fell in love with Duoduo, a girl from Yingxiangju. Yingxiangju was a small brothel, but Duoduo was not a simple prostitute. When Lin Quan
After walking here one time and meeting Duoduo, he became lost in Duoduo's superb skills. Compared with Duoduo, are Qian and her maid Qiurong still considered women? That tantalizing mouth that makes people ecstasy,
The fairy-like feeling of bone-crushing ecstasy between swallowing and swallowing is simply so happy that it makes people die. And Miss Duoduo is the woman who truly regards herself as a man and gives him the dignity of a man. No matter when, no matter what the mood is, as long as Duoduo Girl
In the room, all worries disappeared.
As a result, Lin Quan kept a lot of people. Although she was just a prostitute, and although her appearance was only average, Lin Quan got things from her that he could never get at home. I remember once having sex with Qian.
Lin Quan hinted that Qian would do it with his mouth, and Qian immediately turned against him and kicked him out of bed. Fortunately, Qian was rude and didn't think to ask Lin Quan where this idea came from, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do it.
Good to be exposed.
Of course Lin Quan is also very careful. In fact, although the Lin family's family laws are strict, the head of the family, Lin Boyong, only turns a blind eye to the direct sons. The strict family laws and the punishment on the day of court training are only for the collateral sons.
Yes. Direct children are always exempted. Besides, the world is so popular today that visiting a brothel for officials, celebrities, and wealthy children is actually nothing. Just don’t make it too high-profile.
Lin Quan was not high-profile at all. He would visit Duoduo girls every other day, but only between noon and midnight. He never stayed overnight at Duoduo because it would arouse Qian's suspicion.
He never brought any entourage with him when he came to Duoduo girl, so as not to leak out. Every other day, he came to enjoy the tenderness of Duoduo girl, and after spending two hours together, he returned to normal.
During this time, he fell in love with Lu Wu, and he actually planned to do so. Find a house and put Lu Wu outside, so that he could enjoy life without anyone noticing. Unfortunately, Lu Wu desperately added, and Lin Jue
This kid actually dared to challenge himself. Lin Quan, who had been holding back his anger for the past few days, vented his anger on Duo Duo, which also helped to regulate his emotions.
