"To be honest with Mr. Huang, Rong'er has been spoiled by her since childhood and has a stubborn temper. I'm afraid she..." Fang Jieming's mind was full of thoughts, and soon made a choice. He pondered for a moment, and looked at Tan Zong helplessly.

The news that Fang Jieming withdrew from the Xie family's marriage was originally hidden from Fang Rong, but I didn't know which maid was leaking the words last night. Fang Rong accidentally learned about this, and after a big quarrel with Fang Jieming, he went on a hunger strike to protest, and no one listened to it.[]

"Boss Fang, can you ask Huang to persuade Miss 2? Perhaps Huang can persuade her to change her mind?" Tan Zong smiled slightly, looking confident.

"Young Master Huang, you may not know that my daughter was originally engaged to Xie Laohei's eldest son Xie Liang. This was originally a good marriage for a good match." Seeing this, Fang Jieming sighed long, "But now that the Xie family is defeated, I can't let her marry her to suffer, so I quit the marriage. This girl couldn't think about it for a moment and was still having a quarrel with me now. Mr. Huang's trip may not be effective."

Fang Jieming thought Tan Zong didn't know what happened between Fang Rong and Xie Liang, and he knew that this matter could not be hidden, so he took the initiative to tell it.

It seems that he broke off the engagement for the happiness of a woman, but in fact he despised the poor and loved the rich, looked down on Xie Liang, who was in a bad position in the family, and wanted to find a family that was either rich or noble.

"Miss Second is indeed a woman who values ​​love and friendship." Tan Zong suddenly felt contempt when he heard this, nodded and said to Fang Jieming, "I want to see Miss Second, and do my best to do my best. If Miss Second is really unwilling, then I can only say that they are not destined."

"Since that's the case, please follow me." Fang Jieming heard this, stood up and led Tan Zong to the backyard, entering a small courtyard with an elegant environment.

There was a two-story loft in the courtyard, and two maids stood in front of the door. Seeing Fang Jieming coming in, they quickly pushed open the door of the loft.

In a room on the second floor, a woman turned her back to the door, staring blankly at a pair of playing sparrows on the tree outside the window, and the food on the table in front of her was not moved.

"Rong'er, this is Mr. Huang, I'm here to see you." Fang Jieming walked forward and said to the woman.

Fang Rong sat there motionlessly, without any reaction, as if she had not heard Fang Jieming's words.

"Boss Fang, I wonder if I can stay alone with the second lady for a while." Fang Jieming wanted to push Fang Rong's shoulder, and Tan Zong quickly walked forward and stopped him.

"Please, please, I'll wait for you downstairs." Fang Jieming looked at Fang Rong, got up and left, and closed the door.

"This is a letter from someone to you." After Fang Jieming left, Tan Zong walked over, threw the letter written by Xie Liang in front of Fang Rong, and sat opposite her.

In this way, Tan Zong could see Fang Rong's appearance clearly.

Fang Rong is pure and beautiful, with a haggard face and blind eyes. If you look at her appearance, she is an absolute beauty. No wonder Xie Liang is so worried about her.

Fang Rong's eyes fell on the cover of the letter. When she saw the four vigorous and powerful words "Rong'er Kiss" written on it, her expression changed and she couldn't wait to open it. She was very familiar with the word and knew it was written by Xie Liang.

In the letter, Xie Liang first told the pain of lovesickness, and then told Fang Rong to listen to Tan Zong's words, that only in this way can the two be together.

"My benefactor, please accept a greeting from my little girl." After reading the letter, Fang Rong was already in tears. She suppressed her excitement and walked forward and knelt down to Tan Zong.

"Miss Second Miss is not a gift." Tan Zong couldn't help her, so he had to stand up, "It's just a slight effort to raise his hands."

According to Tan Zong's plan, he and Fang Jieming first marked Fang Rong's wedding book first, and agreed that Tan Zong's cousin would send someone to marry Fang Rong a year later, so that Fang Jieming could not marry Fang Rong to others.

As for what to do in a year, it depends on Xie Liang's attitude!

When Tan Zong walked downstairs, Fang Jieming was pacing back and forth anxiously, and came up nervously, "Young Master Huang, how are you talking?"

"Boss Fang, get some food for Miss Second, Miss Second, is hungry." Tan Zong smiled slightly and said to him.

"Okay, okay, I'll let someone prepare the meal now." Fang Jieming was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately got up and walked out.

Looking at Fang Jieming leaving happily, Tan Zong shook his head secretly. Perhaps in Fang Jieming's opinion, Fang Rong is just a product waiting to be sold. As long as the price is reasonable and can help him make money, he can abandon it without any nostalgia.

One night after, Mr. Yao's happy day came, and Tan Zong took the gift to congratulate him.

The Yao family is decorated with lights and joyful today. There are endless guests coming to congratulate. Those who don’t know think that the Yao family is marrying rather than taking concubines.

Tan Zong met Fatty Wang at the door, and the two walked in under the guidance of the Yao family servants.

Almost all the well-known figures in Yangzhou City were invited by the Yao family. After meeting, they smiled and greeted each other. It is said that the Yangzhou magistrate Lord Lu Shi Yuanlu would also come in person.

The people from the Grain Chamber of Commerce were arranged to be in a side hall in a main courtyard. Fatty Wang took Tan Zong to get to know the people in the room and then sat on the main table in the hall.

Including Fatty Wang, this time Mr. Yao’s wedding, the four leaders of the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce in Yangzhou City were all here, which gave the Yao family enough face.

"Old Qi, I heard that the batch of grain you transported to Suzhou a few days ago made a lot of money." While talking and laughing, Fatty Wang smiled and looked at a tall and thin middle-aged man sitting opposite him, "Do you should put it on a table - Piaotianwenxue - to give everyone a happy mood?"

After Fatty Wang said this, everyone here shouted to ask Lao Qi to treat him. Lao Qi smiled and agreed, asking everyone to support him.

"Brother Wang, Suzhou is in chaos. Qi Huishou dares to transport the grain over? Aren't he afraid of compensation?" Tan Zong knew that the tall and thin middle-aged man surnamed Qi was also the leader of the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce. He found an opportunity and asked in the ear of Fatty Wang in a low voice.

"Qi Magang will not do lose money. The more chaotic the times, the more expensive the grain price." Fatty Wang whispered, "Do you know that the grain price in Suzhou has increased by 50%. As long as our Prince An doesn't find the Japanese bandits for a day, the grain price will not drop in one day."

"Since you make money, why don't Brother Wang get a piece of the pie?" Tan Zong nodded, as if he had remembered something, and then asked.

"Suzhou Prefecture is Qi Magang's territory. Apart from him, the people of the Grain Merchants and Chamber of Commerce cannot do business there, otherwise the rules will be messed up." Wang Fatty knew that Tan Zong was not sure about the various things here, so he explained to him.

"So that's it!" Tan Zong nodded slightly as if he suddenly realized his mind.

In fact, in the information of the Supervision Bureau, Tan Zong knew that Qi Magan was responsible for the grain business in Suzhou, so he had been looking for opportunities to approach him, but he had never found a good opportunity.

If Qi Magan was treating guests in the Red Chamber, then this would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, and naturally he would have been in the middle of the line.

At this moment, there was a noise in the yard, and a group of big men walked in and greeted them. The group of people were divided into two parts in the yard, one of which came to the side hall on Tan Zong's side, and the other part went to the side hall on the opposite side hall.

Tan Zong saw Jiang Qing and Wei Qi from the crowd who came over and knew that this should be a member of the Cao Gang. He was a little surprised. Why did the Cao Gang go into two side halls instead of being together? It seemed that the person in the side hall opposite was not low.

"Brother Wang, who is the opposite?" Fatty Wang and others had already stood up to welcome the big bosses of the Cao Gang. Tan Zong asked in surprise, "Even the Cao Gang wants to send someone over."

"Who? Those salt dealers!" Fatty Wang glanced at the side hall opposite, with a look of disdain, "If we can compete with our grain dealers, then there are only those salt dealers' salt dealers' commerce. Sometimes those guys are unauthentic, and we have had several battles with them in the name of salt dealers."

"Salt Merchant?" Hearing this, Tan Zong was stunned for a moment. After hearing what Fatty Wang said, he found that he had ignored a very important issue, that is, in addition to grain merchants, salt merchants also have major suspicion of having an affair with Japanese bandits.

With the relationship between salt merchants and the Cao Gang, not only grain merchants, but also salt merchants can transport ships to transport the Japanese bandits from the coast to the inland without knowing it.

Moreover, if the salt merchants provide food to the Japanese bandits privately, then Tan Zong wants to investigate the traces of the Japanese bandits from the perspective of food, then it will undoubtedly be useless.

Just as Tan Zong was stunned, the Cao Gang people walked in and everyone was greeting each other. Jiang Qing and two big men sat at Tan Zong's table.

It seems that those two great men should also be the incense owners of the Caogang Zhongyi Hall.

Soon, a servant hurried into the yard and went straight into the main hall.

An old man in his fifties quickly led a group of people out. He is the protagonist of today - Mr. Yao.

"It seems that Lord Lu is here." Fatty Wang looked at the group of people, stood up, and said to Tan Zong with a smile.

The people in the main hall are among the top figures in Yangzhou City. In addition to Mr. Yao, there are also Tongzhi of Yangzhou Prefecture, Judgment, President, Vice President of the Salt Merchants Chamber of Commerce, President of the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce, Vice President, and others.

Those who can alarm these people out to welcome them are no one except the ruler of Yangzhou Prefecture, the prefect Lord Lu.

As he said that, Fatty Wang and others also walked out and followed Mr. Yao and his party to greet Lord Lu at the door.

When Mr. Yao and others arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Lord Lu's official sedan had not arrived yet. After waiting for a while, a group of people appeared on the corner of the street and walked over with a sedan chair.

"Start the cannon!" At this time, Mr. Yao waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

Two long firecrackers were lit immediately, and they kept ringing, making them look very festive.
Chapter completed!
