Chapter 254 Partnership
The day of sending troops is getting closer and closer, and there are more and more things going on in Liang's mansion. Li Xiaoyao is not very busy. One is busy with Su Zicheng, and the other is Shuiyan and Yu Yuanshan. There is nothing important here, and she can come back a little earlier every day.
In the afternoon of May, the warm sun shone on the quiet yard. Wei Shuisheng woke up from a nap and let people move chairs and half lay on the eaves to read a book. The woman outside reported that Lv Hua came to visit Wei Shuisheng. Wei Shuisheng was stunned for a moment and stood up and went straight out. Lv Hua wore an elegant gray satin gown and waist He wore an inconspicuous belt of the same color, shook the old folding fan, followed the old fan, looked left and right and walked in slowly. Wei Shuisheng greeted him straight to the door of the courtyard. When Lv Hua saw Wei Shuisheng coming out, he hurriedly closed the folding fan, hurriedly walked a few steps and smiled and said, "Runwen doesn't have to be so polite. He's not an outsider. Is he better?" Wei Shuisheng smiled and saluted each other and Lv Hua politely. The two gave way into the lotus garden. Lv Hua looked at the chair in the eaves and did not enter the room. The two sat in the eaves and talked casually as if they had been friends for many years. To put it was late, Lv Hua had no intention of saying goodbye. Wei Shuisheng was half different. There was no sex. Begonia came in and reported that they had dinner, and the two of them had dinner in the porch.
Li Xiaoyao just got out of the car in the second door. Mother Lu hurried to help Li Xiaoyao get out of the car and whispered that Lv Hua came to visit Wei Shuisheng in the afternoon. At this time, Li Xiaoyao stopped and frowned and thought about it. 'um', she accelerated her feet and rushed to the half-acre garden while ordering: " Let people set meals." Mother Lu hurriedly called Liu Yun to order. Liu Yun ran back with her skirt to send a message. Li Xiaoyao entered half a mu garden, washed and changed her clothes very quickly, ate a few mouthfuls of rice, and then came out to the lotus garden.
The lights were bright. Mother Zhang welcomed the discharge door and reported a few words in a low voice. Li Xiaoyao nodded and entered the yard and entered the hanging flower door along the corridor. Lv Hua and Wei Shuisheng were sitting in the eaves porch drinking tea. Seeing Li Xiaoyi come in, Lv Hua stood up first. Seeing that Wei Shuisheng was also going to stand up, he quickly reached out to help him carefully. Li Xiaoyao smiled and bowed his knees and politely. The three of them sat down again and said a few polite words. Wei Shuisheng stood up with a chair and smiled, "Xiaoyao will talk to Uncle Lu first. I'll change the medicine." Lv Hua hurriedly gave way to Wei Shuisheng. Li Xiaoyao turned around and motioned Mother Zhang. Mother Zhang agreed and quietly motioned Begonia, Hongju and others to retreat to guard all parts of the yard.
Lv Hua watched M Mother Zhang and others retreat, slowly leaned back to the back of the chair, looked at Li Xiaoyao and smiled and said, "The family sent a letter that you want some charts."
"Well, when I came back from Taiping Mansion and passed through Lugang, I happened to meet Lv Feng. I heard him say that your sea fleet has gone very far, so I asked him to see if he can expand a few charts for me, so that he can see what it looks like overseas." Li Xiaoyao replied with a frank smile. Lv Hua's eyes flashed slightly, shook the folding fan and was silent for a moment. He looked at Li Xiaoyao and said slowly, "If the fifth master loves the overseas customs, I have collected many travel chronicles written by people who went to sea, and the writing can also be seen in writing. The sea map is only marked with routes and landmarks, which is not very interesting."
"This is naturally good. I love reading travel chronicles, so you're welcome. I'll ask someone to pick it up tomorrow." Li Xiaoyao said with a smile and said, "Love to see the customs everywhere is one of them. In addition to this, I also want to learn from my uncle to do overseas business. There is also a good port in the north. Unfortunately, no one has traveled far to the ocean, so I will start this business so that I can earn some money." Lv Hua smiled gently: "Master is a cheerful person. Although this maritime business is extremely profitable and extremely risky, goods, charts and ships are not difficult. There are only two things. First, this old seaman is difficult to find, and second, sea thieves are rampant. To tell the truth, the fleet that can travel safely and overseas are all at Qingmen Lv Under the family, if those scattered ships want to travel safely to and from the Southern Ocean, they must also rely on the Lu family's fleet to keep safe. Lv Hua's words stopped. Li Xiaoyao took tea, looked at Lv Hua, thought about it, and swallowed his words again. This is not the time to be competitive. Let's listen to his plan. Li Xiaoyao came down with a relaxed face and looked at Lv Hua with a smile without saying a word, just waiting for him to say. Lv Hua looked at Li Xiaoyao and saw that she was silent. He continued with a smile and said, "If the fifth master wants to do this overseas business, it's just one thing. There are eleven fleets in Shangqingmen. Which one does the fifth master want? Just give it to the fifth master."
The cup in Li Xiaoyao's hand shook gently, stared at Lv Hua, put down the cup, slowly wiped his hands, and looked at Lv Hua and said bluntly, "Master, let's finish your words."
"The fifth master is exquisite and cheerful. Does Prince Liang want to take Huainan Road?" Lv Hua suddenly turned his head and asked. Li Xiaoyao looked at Lv Hua without saying a word. Lv Hua stared at Li Xiaoyao for a moment, smiled relaxedly, leaned back to the chair and said, "Lugang, the fifth master made a special trip to check Lugang. What a good eye!" Li Xiaoyao took a soft breath and shook his head while smiling, "Mr. Lu has found the wrong person." Lv Hua looked at Li Xiaoyao with solemn eyes and did not answer. Li Xiaoyao looked at him and was serious and frank: "To the west of Lugang, it is flat and unimpeded, leading directly to the hinterland of the State of Wu, and close to Yangzhou, where huge merchants gathered. Such an important place is too hot."
"I know, just build a dock." Lv Hua said with a smile, and Li Xiaoyao shook his head again: "The Lv family is not short of money, but they want to be stable for a hundred generations. Why bother?" Lv Hua restrained his smile, stared at Li Xiaoyao for a moment, and suddenly nodded simply, "Thank you! When will the fifth master's silk shop open? Li Xiaoyao turned his head and saw that he didn't answer. Lu Hua looked directly at Li Xiaoyao and continued, "I'm optimistic about the business of the fifth master. Why don't you let me buy a share?"
"How to enter?"
"Naturally, the fifth master is the head, and you are six and me four."
Li Xiaoyao lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. He looked at Lv Hua and said, "Thirty, if you want to send 40% of the dry stocks out, I will only leave 30%."
"Good!" Lv Hua agreed happily. Li Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lv Hua slowly with a smile and asked, "How are you going to explain to your little uncle?"
"What should I explain?" Lu Hua's smile was cunning: "Where are you?" Li Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows for a moment and looked at Lv Hua. He suddenly smiled. Lv Hua smiled inexplicably. Li Xiaoyao smiled for a long time before looking at Lv Hua and said, "I almost forgot. Do you think you are optimistic about my business? Do you want to buy 30% of the shares?"
"Yes!" Lv Hua agreed and simply. Li Xiaoyao smiled and bent her eyes into a crescent: "I still have a big business, which will open in autumn. Have you thought about it? Do you really want to buy shares?" Lv Hua was stunned and nodded affirmatively and answered, "Enter!" Li Xiaoyao stared at Lu Hua and smiled, "I'm going to open a check box!" Open the best check bar in Beiping. Lv Hua was stunned and laughed for a moment. He smiled and nodded: "As long as the hook column is done properly, it is also a legitimate business, but it should be generous." Li Xiaoyao looked at Lv Hua unexpectedly. Lv Hua smiled and said, "Shangqingmen still operates several tiles in Xinyang." Li Xiaoyao blinked, and Lv Hua smiled stronger. He smiled and whispered, "It seems that if you operate this hook bar in a dark place, it's best. You don't have to light up in the first place." Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath, nodded and smiled, "I know. These two places are worth 400,000 taels of silver. Tomorrow you will ask someone to send me 120,000 taels of silver."
"Good!" Lv Hua's agreement was so straightforward that Li Xiaoyao looked at him vaguely. The Lu family really shouldn't be silver!
Send off Lv Hua, and Li Xiaoyao turned back. Wei Shuisheng was standing under the drooping door, looking at her with worries in his eyes. Li Xiaoyao walked a few steps and smiled, "Brother Shuisheng looks much better today."
"Well, I'm fine, you? Is everything okay?" Wei Shuisheng asked hesitantly and vaguely. He was not sure whether he should ask about this matter. Li Xiaoyao took Wei Shuisheng's left sleeve and walked a few steps with his head down, and then replied with a smile, "It's okay. Brother Shuisheng, don't worry. At least it's not a bad thing. By the way, the dog and the fifth brother have taken good care of several houses. If you are better, go to see the house. Well, you have to be satisfied first. Why don't I invite Shuitong/Grandma to have a look? Anyway, when she saw it, she would naturally tell Sister Lian carefully. Maybe she would still take Sister Lian to go to see it. Hurry up and buy the house. The Shui family still has a lot of furniture and curtains, which have to be measured.
Wei Shuisheng looked down at Li Xiaoyao, who was smiling and talking. He stopped walking and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get the money?" Erhuai and Tiemu have just become marriage, and the weaving workshop has not yet begun to make money. How can there be any money at home? Li Xiaoyao then stopped, looked up at Wei Shuisheng, thought for a moment and replied, "I also did other business. Don't worry, silver is justly available, and there is no one or two ill-gotten wealth."
"I'm not talking about this, Xiaoyao, from Taiping Mansion to now, this money matter is all for you to worry about. Don't do this, brothers are all living a hard life. How can they be so particular about it? Look at you, patronize a few brothers, yourself... Alas! If you say a good day, it's a headless thing..." Wei Shuisheng raised his left hand and stroked Li Xiaoyao's scattered temples and said sadly.
"I know," Li Xiaoyao interrupted Wei Shuisheng and said, "If you have a head, why don't you have a head? You see, Brother Erhuai has become a family, and there is also a house where the eldest brother and Guizi got married, and then it will be done. In addition to this, I also want to set up another Zhuangzi in one family, and there is no need to have a large, medium Zhuangzi. In this way, if you have the ability or no ability, you can take care of the whole family. That's all. I don't care about it. I live my own life, and I live my free life.
Wei Shui grew and sighed and patted Li Xiaoyao on the shoulder without saying anything.
