Song Qingshu couldn't help blaming himself when he heard the Duke say that ordinary passenger ships and merchant ships are not allowed to travel together. Before, he was mainly focused on persuading Ren Yingying to change the land route to the water route, but he was really worried that she was too weak to withstand the fatigue of the journey. At the same time, there was another one. Selfishness, that is, she couldn't bear to have her white and tender jade legs rubbed with blood and calluses by the horse, so that she ignored the factors of war.
Thinking that not only did she not save time, but instead took her away for a long time, she couldn't help but blame herself.
Until she heard Ren Yingying's question, she subconsciously looked in the direction of her finger, and saw a huge ship approaching in the distance, and the surrounding ships were like small sampans compared to it.
More importantly, the Southern Song Dynasty navy did not block such an obvious goal, but let it go all the way. Song Qing's writing skills were far from enough, and he could even see a Southern Song general on the bow of the ship who looked like a housekeeper. Apologetically, the butler just responded with a response, his attitude was very cold.
"I don't know which merchant ship is under the command of a prince or aristocrat?" Song Qingshu was a little puzzled, but it was not surprising. To know these ancient officials, which family was not a big landlord? They all talk about etiquette and morality as sages and gentlemen, and do not allow the imperial court to go to sea in business. Isn't it the benefit of their family? I was afraid that the imperial court would come forward and rob them of their business.
The scorpion saw Ren Yingying leaning halfway in the arms of the man beside him, with a coquettish and weak look, with frowning eyebrows. , couldn't help being envious and jealous, and deliberately said: "Anyone who lives on this water, who doesn't know them."
Seeing his expression, Song Qingshu didn't know his careful thoughts, so he couldn't help laughing dumbly, and said with a nonchalant smile, "I hope you can give me some advice."
The scorpion glanced at Ren Yingying quietly, and seeing that she was also attracted attention, he couldn't help but become more and more proud: "Since you are so sincere, I will give you some pointers, this ship is the Jinghu, the ship of the Ruan family. , the Ruan family is the number one imperial merchant in the world..."
"Isn't the No. 1 emperor in the world the Xue family, how did it become the Ruan family?" Song Qingshu took a closer look at the boat and saw a big soft letter embroidered on the flag, but he was still puzzled. Among the four families in the Southern Song Dynasty The reason why the Xue family is known as "pearls are like earth, gold and iron" is mainly because they have the status of royal merchants in addition to having a family head who is a member of the political affairs, and they are also very wealthy. For the world's first royal business.
"You don't understand this," the scorpion explained, "The Xue family mainly deals in overseas business, and it is known as the number one overseas; the Ruan family deals in inland business and is the number one in the inland. For the people on the riverside, many of them rely on the Ruan family to eat, and naturally they think that the first royal merchant in the world is the Ruan family."
"So it is." Song Qingshu nodded slightly. He seemed to have heard the name of the Ruan family before, but now he is in a high position, and even the Xue family, who has a slaughter and executive minister, is not qualified to be on an equal footing with him, let alone the less prominent official background. Nguyen's house.
Noticing the disapproval in his tone, the duke immediately became anxious: "If you can become a royal merchant, your background in Lin'an must be unfathomable. Everyone has various guesses, but no one can be sure. The only one who is certain is the head of the Ruan family. His husband is a member of the Yang family, a wealthy family in Shu."
"Is the head of the Ruan family a woman?" Ren Yingying, who had been standing by the side, asked in surprise.
"Don't you know?" The scorpion seemed to be saying something that everyone knew, "Mrs. Ruan, as a daughter, has made the family business bigger and bigger, and the Ruan family has greatly surpassed the Xue family. It's mostly her credit."
"Then she's really good enough." Song Qingshu smacked his tongue secretly. He wouldn't be surprised if there were women in later generations who made such a large family business. However, in the Southern Song Dynasty, where Neo-Confucianism prevailed, it was too much. Amazing.
"Mrs. Ruan is not only very good in business, but she is also a great beauty. I was fortunate to have seen it from a distance. Not only is she beautiful, she is also very kind, she is like a fairy," said the scorpion. Her face was fascinated, as if she was recalling the original scene, "But it's a little strange that everyone who saw her described her appearance inconsistently, some said she was a dignified and quiet young woman, some said she was a coquettish beauty A gorgeous vixen, and some people say she's a girl with a sweet voice..."
Song Qingshu smiled slightly, but he didn't care much. A low-level scorpion like them had seen a few beauties in his life. I'm afraid that with a little beauty and a high status, he could be regarded as a fairy by him. Naturally, there will be some rumors, but the other party The next sentence shook his thoughts slightly.
Duke Shou obviously sensed the disbelief in his eyes, and immediately panicked: "Mrs. Ruan and the second lady of the Xue family are called Huangshang Shuangyan by people in our line, they are different from ordinary women who don't go to the door. , They often make public appearances in their business operations. I don’t know how many people in our industry have seen them, and who doesn’t praise their looks? Although Madam Zun is beautiful, it may not be comparable to them.”
Ren Yingying smiled slightly. She is always graceful and generous, so how could she take this person's words to heart, but Song Qingshu's heart moved. He didn't believe how beautiful Madam Ruan was, but he had seen Miss Xue's family. .
Xue Baochai has a beautiful appearance, her skin deceives Sai Xue, and her dignified temperament, especially her knowledgeable and sensible temperament, is like a one-in-a-million beauty—of course, she had no intention of knowing her identity as a secret spy in the imperial city. That's for later.
At the banquet of the princes and nobles in Lin'an, I happened to hear them talking about the Xue family. They said that Duke Xue was really lucky. He had two beautiful daughters. The eldest daughter Xue Baochai was already amazing enough, but the second daughter Xue Baoqin was still better More than half of the money, but the second young lady mainly manages the royal business business for the family, and follows the fleet every day to travel north and south, and the chances of the princes and grandsons in Lin'an city to see her are not as good as those of the lower-level people.
"Xue Baoqin..." Song Qingshu couldn't help but think of the perfect woman who suddenly appeared in the middle and late stages of the original Dream of Red Mansions. Her appearance and talent faintly overshadowed the brilliance of the two heroines, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, and even Xue Baochai, who had always been dignified and self-controlled, couldn't help but say something. The sour words, and she did not enter the Jinling Twelve Hairpins, proves that she has been very happy in this life, so she doesn't have to enter the Boming Division, this woman is so perfect that it makes people jealous.
Although Song Qingshu has never seen her in this world, but with Xue Baochai Zhuyu in front, I believe her appearance is roughly at what level. Now I hear that this Madam Ruan can be called Huangshang Shuangyan with her, and I am surprised that Ruan Ruan Madam became curious.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "You just said that this ship is called Jinghu?"
"Yeah." The scorpion nodded.
Song Qingshu pondered silently in his heart, with a strange expression on his face: Jinghu, Jinghu...and the surname is Ruan, wouldn't it be so coincidental?
