Bastard’s Resurgence

Within Liuhe, there are a total of three piers near the Dajiang River: Hegu Wharf, Dongmen Wharf and Ximen Wharf.

Among them, the River Valley Wharf and Dongmen Wharf are located at the intersection of the Inland River and the Dajiang River in Liuhe County, and their geographical locations are very favorable.

The river valley wharf is the busiest on weekdays because it is closer to Yingtianfu, and the downtown area naturally created by the wharf is also very prosperous. This area is known as the Sankong Bridge.

The biggest power of Sankong Bridge is naturally Gu's family. He Lianggong secretly controls more than half of the land lease on the busiest street. Lu Zheng chose to start at the river valley wharf. I have to say that he has a unique vision.

But what worries Gu Zhilun is that He Lianggong is a savvy person. If Gu Zhilun only plays a few shops in Sankong Bridge, or opens a bookstore, it will naturally be no problem.

But Gu Zhilun has a big appetite. What he needs is more than a dozen shops and a good location in Linhe and Linjiang, which is even more difficult.

He Lianggong will not necessarily agree that this is one of them. Second, even if He Lianggong agrees, it will inevitably have to sit on the ground and raise the price, and the lion will open his mouth. With Gu Zhilun's current financial resources, he can't afford to play with He Lianggong!

Gu Zhilun now has to rely on Lu Zheng, just like he was in Yangzhou. He has been in the rivers and lakes for a lifetime and has been in business for a lifetime. However, after long-term contact with Lu Zheng, he has no choice but to bow to the wind, and he really refuses to accept Lu Zheng. No way.

Today, he was preparing to contact He Lianggong for the first time in accordance with Lu Zheng's intention. Workers in He Liang called He Sanye. He is so famous in Liuhe. All the slaves have become masters. His surname is "Gu". Gu's family, on the contrary, became marginalized, and Gu Zhilun felt panic when he thought of this.

So today, he gritted his teeth and can't lose face. Even if he hired more than a dozen sturdy men as his entourage, he wore a straight gown and wrapped the best "Biyun Tower" in Sankong Bridge, and put it down. Amazing pomp.

It is said that He Lianggong has been in a very good mood recently. He Liangquan's newly married Wu Yiniang saw him at first sight. This wife is really good, and that coquettish vigor can be said that He Lianggong has tasted the taste of bliss in the world.

In recent days, He Lianggong has simply occupied the magpie's nest. Anyway, the second child is trapped in Gu's house and dare not come back easily. What is his worry?

Even if the second child He Liangquan is back, what can he do? At the moment, the He family is supported by He Lianggong. Will the old lady still tolerate He Liangquan because a coquettish woman is disadvantageous to He Lianggong?

Just because the spring breeze was proud and in a good mood, Gu Chunshun, a member of the Gu family, came to invite him to a banquet, and he fully agreed. Gu Chunshun said that Gu Zhilun, who had caused a lawsuit before and went to Yangzhou to escape for his life, is back again. He also heard that Gu Zhilun has grown wider. This made him a little interested.

The Gu family branch, especially the Gu Zhilun branch, has declined severely. It has been passed down from the ancestors of the Gu family for nearly two hundred years. The number of descendants of the Gu family is unknown. Although Gu Zhilun's surname is Gu, it is the same as the current Yingtian. The Gu family’s blood ties date back to more than five generations and are already marginalized.

However, Gu Zhilun's surname is Gu after all, and He Lianggong happened to know him when he was a child. The family background of the two was almost the same. Gu Zhilun was a few years older than him, so he did not bully him less.

Today he wants to see, after so many years, what kind of fame has Gu Zhilun conflated, is it possible that he is bigger than his Sanye?

Gu Chunshun led the way and entered the "Biyun Tower" He Lianggong "cocked" in his heart. Seeing that the battle was not small, the "Biyun Tower" was empty, as if it had been booked.

Extending from the door to the restaurant, a man in Tsing Yi stood every one or two feet away. This vigor made He Lianggong's heart startled, and he immediately corrected his attitude a lot.

On the second floor of the restaurant, Gu Zhilun dressed in white, surrounded by three or four pretty women, two making tea, two playing the piano, and then looking after Gu Zhilun. people.

If He Lianggong didn't know the roots, he saw Gu Zhilun at first glance, and he would still be considered a certain great Confucian! He had heard some news before that Gu Zhilun went to Yingtian to visit some Gu family members, and it seemed that the results were not so good.

But when he really saw Gu Zhilun himself, he found that things seemed a little different from the rumors outside and his imagination.

"Oh, it's Lianggong! Tut, tut, I haven't seen you for many years, Lianggong, you are amazing now, Liuhe's local snake, known as He Sanye, today I also go to the village to do as the custom is, call you Sanye, Sanye please!" Gu Zhi Lun laughed.

He Lianggong said: "Brother Zhilun, you slapped me in the face. Speaking of your Gu family is the master, our He family is a slave! Do you really want to lose my life when you call out the third master?"

Gu Zhilun waved his hand: "Okay, let's not mention the polite greetings. You and I are brothers, brothers who grew up bare-ass together. Come, come, please sit down!"

Gu Zhilun greeted He Lianggong warmly to sit down, and then winked at his nephew Gu Chunshun. The restaurant immediately began to serve dishes. The dishes were the signature dishes of Biyunlou, and the wine was the champion red bought specially from Yingtian Zhuangyuan Building.

The host and the guest ate the food and the wine, and they had a very pleasant chat with each other. After three rounds of drinking, He Lianggong couldn't help but said:

"Zhi Lun, Youdao means to go to the Three Treasures Palace for everything. Is there anything wrong with you when you come to Liuhe this time? If something happens, you and I are brothers, please don't hesitate to start. But you also know who I am. I'm just a slave. It's a big deal. I'm afraid I can't do it. Please forgive me when I look back."

"Haha!" Gu Zhilun laughed, using his fingers to say He Lianggong: "Lianggong, you are still the same as when you were young, sensitive and suspicious! I don't understand it, I will go to Yangzhou when I go to Yangzhou. Ten years, now I come back to Yingtian, and if I invite you to dinner, then I have to beg you for something?

It's okay, can't I buy you a meal? "

"Uh..." He Lianggong was stunned for a moment. Gu Zhilun's words were beyond his expectation. According to common sense, Gu Zhilun paid such a high price to find him. He Lianggong has been thinking about the difficulty of specifying what is wrong. !

Unexpectedly, he pondered for a long time, he took the initiative to provoke this topic, but Gu Zhilun said these words, what does this mean?

Gu Zhilun patted his shoulder with his hand, and said: "Good job, brother, let me say something big. I really want to do some things in my response this time, but you can't help you with these things.

Although you helped Gu's family run the wharf and made a big name here in Liuhe, as you said, after all, you are limited to your identity. Everything about you is given by the Gu family's master. I really want you to help, isn't that cheating you? Will your brother do such things? Therefore, Lianggong, please put your heart in your stomach. Although my brother has not been mixed up in Yangzhou these years, the cost of food and clothing has long been nothing.

If my brother is really hungry and cold and begs you, it is to reward me with a bowl of rice. This is not the case now, and I am not in a hurry. Take your time, even if nothing is done, it doesn’t matter. I have already prepared the money for the elderly, so what do people want to spend their entire lives? Don't you just try to return to the roots of fallen leaves? "

When Gu Zhilun said these words, He Lianggong was extremely ashamed, and he knew that he underestimated Gu Zhilun. Look at this ostentation, is it the one who is looking for him to beg for food?

Just today, this table, coupled with the various arrangements inside and outside, can't afford to spend a few hundred taels of silver. Even if He Lianggong lives luxuriously on weekdays, it is nothing like Gu Zhilun's.

Gu Zhilun came to answer the sky with such an identity, how could it be trivial things? No wonder he would talk to Gu's family directly. This is not because they want to climb high, but because they have that confidence and confidence!

Thinking of this, He Lianggong picked up the wine glass and said, "Even Brother Lun, I blame my bad mouth, I made a mistake, I will punish myself for a glass!"

Gu Zhilun raised his hand and said: "Okay, what's wrong is not bad, you and I are brothers who grew up together naked, so don't stick to these small sections.

In fact, you are right. If I have something to do in Liuhe, and there is something that is not going well below, you can help me for convenience, and I will benefit from you when I look back.

Don't worry, brother won't make you embarrassed. Even if something comes to you, it will definitely be a matter of smooth flow, right? "

When Gu Zhilun said this, he shut up immediately and said, "Well, I won't mention those topics that have nothing to do with brotherhood. Today, our brothers have only one thing, drinking!"

Both of them seemed to be worried, and then the atmosphere on the wine table became more and more harmonious. When they drank to the heart, they both recalled the past and were both very interested.

Back then, the He family had not built a house in Liuhe, and both Gu Zhilun and He Lianggong were still living in Yingtian alleys. The real development of the He family started from He Lianggong’s parents, which happened to be at a very important time. on.

The first emperor suppressed the powerful and powerful, Jiangnan was the first to bear the brunt, and the Gu family was panicked. Under this background, the Gu family realized that the private soldiers were gone, and the only place where they could compete with the court was the money and food.

Therefore, the Gu family immediately adjusted their strategy and began to secretly control salt, control commerce, merge land, and unite with the other three in an attempt to grasp the lifeblood of Jiangnan Qianliang.

In that context, the number of people in the Gu family is limited. In addition, due to the status of the Gu family scholarly family, it is not appropriate for the children of the Gu family to trade openly. Therefore, it is not appropriate for the Gu family to rely on the Gu family like the He family. Starting, the He family began to prosper.

In a word, Gu Zhilun and He Lianggong were born in poverty when they were young, and now they are both rich. This time when they meet again, there is no conflict of interest involved. When it comes to the past, they naturally feel very nostalgic for each other. .

"My boss, my boss!"

A white and clean young servant respectfully approached Gu Zhilun's side, and he stopped talking. Gu Zhilun said through the wine, "What's the matter? But it's okay to say that He Sanye is me. brothers!"

"Uh... the people from Nie County are here, saying that they are asking you to go, you..."

"Don't go, don't go! You just said to the door that came, saying that I was unwell, caught the wind and cold, and it was inconvenient to go out, you know?" Gu Zhilun raised his hand to interrupt the young man, picked up the wine glass and continued: "Come on, Lianggong, shall we go another one?"

Bai Jing Xiaosi hesitated and said: "But the boss, Governor Zhan came to inspect Liuhe today. At this time, Lord Nie will invite you, look at..."

"Ah..." Gu Zhilun exclaimed, and immediately said: "What a slave, why did you report the news about Master Zhan coming to Liuhe at this time?"
