"Dare to ask, General Cheng." The nobleman stood up and asked, "Does General Cheng have any extra members?"

"What kind of person?" Cheng Yaojin stroked his beard with a confused expression.

"It's a member of Haimao." The rich and powerful reminded, "I also want to buy a copy."

Cheng Yaojin put down the wine bowl, slapped the table and said, "Come here, see off the guests!"

All the guests: "Huh?!"

Dozens of nursing homes of the Cheng family immediately surrounded him.

"General Cheng, we are very sincere."

"General Cheng, we can buy it!"

"General Cheng, listen to our explanation."

……

All the guests were escorted out by Cheng's nursing home. Looking at the messy scene, Cheng Yaojin took another sip of wine, "Wow ha ha ha! Good wine!"

A large group of guests who were kicked out by Cheng's nursing home surrounded Cheng's mansion for a long time and did not want to leave. It seemed that Cheng Yaojin's members would not be sold. Who else in Chang'an has maritime trade members.

Everyone immediately thought that the Niu family who lived opposite Cheng Yaojin also had maritime members.

As everyone looked back.

Bang!

The door of the Niu Mansion was closed with a loud sound, and there was a note on the door, no visits, no visitors behind closed doors!

"..."

For a while, the old generals and the princes who owned the sea trade members closed their homes one after another, and there was a tacit understanding of shutting the door to see no visitors.

Chu Suiliang just finished discussing with Li Chengqian about the Persian envoy, and when he walked out of Chengtianmen, he couldn't help but shuddered, "Why is the wind blowing in Chang'an recently?"

Chapter 6 and Six: Jiangnan Forces

After collecting his clothes, Chu Suiliang hurried home.Along the way, I happened to meet Fang Yizhi who was also on his way home, "Brother Fang."

Fang Yi stopped and turned around, "It turned out that Zhong Shuling was in person."

"Brother Fang just came back from the academy?" Chu Suiliang looked at Fang Yi and said straight away, "Now that the court is employing people, Brother Fang may as well enter the court, Brother Fang will definitely be used by His Majesty."

"Zhongshuling's kindness is appreciated." Fang Yizhi said respectfully, "It's just that the academy is busy and it's really inseparable."

Chu Suiliang looked at Fang Yi's lost steps as he walked into the house. There was no shortage of people in the court, but it was Li Chengqian who was short of people, people who could compete with Gu Qing.

Gu Cun, Gu Qing was worrying about looking at the huge pile of gifts in front of the house.

"Why don't you sell it for your part?" Li Zhi also said sadly, "People are scrambling to give you gifts."

"You can't sell it like this." Gu Qing sighed, "If I would sell it as a gift, but it would be a shame, whoever gave the most would sell it to whoever, what kind of person am I?"

"Aren't you desperate for money?" Li Zhi looked at Gu Qing, "Could it be that you have changed?"

"His Royal Highness Jin Wang must be reasonable." Gu Qing said again, "A gentleman loves money and obtains it in a proper way."

"Hehe." Li Zhi sneered, "Gu Qing, do you have any enmity with the gentleman?"

"It's all taken." Gu Qing said to Fan Jian one after another.

While receiving gifts, Gu Qing saw a guy walking towards his door, wearing an official uniform.

The other party came in front of Gu Qing, "I have seen Xiangguo."

Gu Qing was also puzzled and said: "Dare to ask face to face..."

"This is Yan Lide." Yan Lide took out a painting while speaking, "That day, I accidentally saw Xiangguo and his wife walking in the palace and drew it. It's a bit offensive to say, so I'd better give it to Xiangguo."

After receiving the painting, Gu Qing looked at this guy's painting of himself and Wu Mei, and had to say that Yan Lide's painting skills are very good, "The painting is very good, I accept it."

Yan Lide smiled reassuringly, "I have a request for coming this time."

"You are Yan Liben's elder brother." Gu Qing said with a smile, "Yan Liben and I also have some friendship, so feel free to tell me anything."

"I want to draw the appearance of that divine bird." Yan Lide expressed his thoughts.

"Tell me about it." Gu Qing glanced at the empty eaves of his house, "It flew away again now, it's not here."

"Not here." Yan Lide asked again with some disappointment, "I don't know when you will be back?"

"When will it fly back?" Gu Qing remained silent, and then replied, "I don't know about that, it mainly depends on its mood."

"Its mood?" Yan Lide was surprised.

"Well, it's like a gust of wind. Books come and go when they say it." Gu Qing whispered, "Brother Yan, otherwise, you will live in the village, and I will arrange a trip for you in the village." House, as long as it comes back, you can draw anytime."

"fair enough."

Yan Lide was originally a court painter, Gu Qing thought in his heart, "If it weren't for Brother Yan, you should teach in the academy, and you can teach your painting skills to the students of the academy."

"But..." Yan Lide hesitated, "The family's ability has always been kept from outsiders."

"Isn't Yan Liben teaching in the academy?" Gu Qing said disapprovingly.

"That's how it is." Yan Lide said, "I can go to the academy to teach, just to replace Yan Liben. How did Yan Liben teach in the past, and I can do the same, how about it?"

"Yes, yes!" Gu Qing repeatedly cupped his hands.

"Then let's go to the academy first." Yan Lide said, "Let's take my leave for now."

It was still raining in Chang'an. As soon as Chang'an came out of the restaurant, there were seven businessmen sitting in front of Li Ran, "Everyone, you are all well-known businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. I dare to ask you. The trade between Jiangnan and the states in the Central Plains has always been very good. , why did you just fall in love with Gu Qing?"

"That's right." One of them replied, "I've come to Chang'an and heard a lot about Master Gu's deeds. I also know that Master Gu has a weird personality and needs Master Gu's help in some businesses."

"Gu Qing's business doesn't seem to stop you Jiangnan from doing it, does it?" Li Ran continued.

"That's true." Several businessmen laughed, "We have been in business for so many years, and our family fortune has also experienced ups and downs. It's just that Gu Houye has a big deal in his hands, and we Jiangnan also want to help Gu Houye run the business together."

Li Ran smiled and looked at the rainy scene outside and didn't speak for a long time. The intention of these people coming here was pretty much the same as what he thought.

"We all know that the head of the Li family in Zhaojun has a lot of connections with the Gu family." Several businessmen said again, "If you go to meet in a hurry, I'm afraid it will be very disturbing, so I ask the head of the Li family in Zhaojun to discuss with the Gu family."

"I don't have such a deep friendship with Gu Qing." Li Ran stopped looking at these businessmen, and turned to look at Yujing.

Knowing Li Ran's attitude, the few people were a little surprised, and the atmosphere froze for a while.
