Chapter 451 Xiao Yi was robbed
At the end of February, the weather gradually became warmer.
The canal also began to open. Shi Luo stood on the dock and looked at the merchant ships coming and going, feeling a little moved.
At this time, the weather was still a little cold, Ruhua brought her a cloak.
"Why haven't Your Highness King Yi arrived yet?" Ruhua also looked at the dock anxiously. Several merchant ships have come to this morning, but Xiao Yi's.
Xiao Yi wrote a letter half a month ago, saying that he was here today and he specifically instructed Shi Luo to pick him up at the dock.
Shi Luo was bored for more than a month and had nothing to do anyway, so he thought about coming to the dock to take a look. Maybe he could meet Wei Congxi.
"It should be soon."
As soon as Shi Luo finished speaking, he suddenly appeared in front of her alone. He hadn't seen him for a long time. Shi Luo thought he had recognized the wrong person.
Zhou Siyi lost a lot of weight and almost lost her appearance, but her complexion looked pretty good, and she was just a little colder than before.
"It's really you, I thought I had recognized the wrong person."
Zhou Siyi said.
Shi Luo frowned: "Young Master Zhou, we are not so familiar with each other, are we?"
What's more, there is the Shi Wan incident.
Zhou Siyi didn't care about Shi Luo's coldness when he said this, and said: Today the wind is strong, what is the princess going to do at the dock?"
"My fourth brother is here today, I'll pick him up."
Shi Luo's attitude was polite and alienated.
After saying that, she looked at Zhou Siyi, and he looked like he was coming to the dock to pick up people.
Zhou Siyi noticed her gaze and took the initiative to explain: "I am here to pick Bai Xiuyuan up, and he said there are a lot of things."
He thought Shi Luo was here to pick up Bai Xiuyuan, not that.
Shi Luo said: "Even if Bai Xiuyuan comes, you don't have to come to pick him up in person, right?"
There are many people in the Bai family, and don’t think she doesn’t know that Bai Xiuyuan and Zhou Siyi are in plastic brotherhood.
Zhou Siyi said: "Bird old lady in the Bai family's birthday, Bai Xiuyuan is not asking for a surprise to the old lady."
Shi Luo nodded.
So I stopped talking.
Zhou Siyi was also tactful and didn't say much.
There is a saying that Zhou Siyi is right. The wind is very strong today, and it is like a knife blowing on people's faces. Shi Luo couldn't stand it. Zhou Siyi said: "There is a teahouse over there, let's go in and wait."
It's good, but Shi Luo didn't plan to be with him. After all, Shi Wan is a thorn in everyone's heart.
Zhou Siyi might have noticed something, and there was a moment of gloom in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up by him. He pretended to be relaxed and smiled: "Let's go."
Shi Luo didn't say much, and the group entered the teahouse. Shi Luo found a place by the window. A new merchant ship came to the dock. Zhou Siyi said: "This merchant ship belongs to the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce."
Shi Luo took a look and saw a big Jiang character written on the flag on the bow of the ship.
It is not uncommon for Shi Luo. Xiao Mo took her to the Nanyue Chamber of Commerce before. It was then that Shi Luo realized that these businessmen had chambers of commerce, and not everyone could do business safely.
Zhou Siyi said: "The largest chamber of commerce in the entire East Continent is called the United Chamber of Commerce. It was founded when the East Continent was still one. Although the East Continent was divided into several countries later, the United Chamber of commerce has always existed. It was the only one that dominated the country before, and later the South Vietnam Chamber of Commerce was able to compete with them."
Shi Luo looked up at Zhou Siyi. Zhou Siyi seemed to be interested in telling her this. She nodded and asked, "Where is the Chamber of Commerce in the Great Zhou?"
Zhou Siyi said: "There are no other chambers of commerce in the Great Zhou Dynasty, only the Lanjing Chamber of commerce, which is run by the government. The president of the Chamber of commerce is also an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Just like Wei Congxi, he is now a member of the Chamber of commerce, managing the registration of some goods at the dock."
Shi Luo nodded, not surprised. After all, although Bai Xiuyuan is the president in the South Vietnam Chamber of Commerce, Xiao Yi is still involved in it. It would not work without the support of the government.
"The spring exam is about to be held. This time, some officials in the spring exam will probably be assigned to the chamber of commerce. This is a fat man, and many people are watching."
Shi Luo glanced at Zhou Siyi: "Is there anyone in your family in Lanjing's chamber of commerce?"
Zhou Siyi nodded: "My cousin is here."
"Why don't you go in and become an official?" Shi Luo asked.
Zhou Siyi looked at her helplessly, and saw that Shi Luo really didn't know, so she said, "I am a member of the Lanjing Chamber of Commerce, as for why I don't become an official..."
Zhou Siyi was a little embarrassed: "I was not good at studying. After several times, I couldn't even pass the exam for a scholar, so I gave up."
Shi Luo stared at Zhou Siyi. She had never thought that Zhou Siyi, who was so arrogant before, could not even pass the exam for a scholar in this era when he was so arrogant.
Shi Luo couldn't help laughing. After laughing for a while, he might think it was really bad to laugh like this, so he explained: "Don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to laugh at you. What did I say? I didn't expect you to fail to pass the scholar exam."
Shi Luo laughed again, and Zhou Siyi's face turned dark.
"You're laughing."
Zhou Siyi said it seriously.
Shi Luo "..."
Shi Luo continued to laugh at him if he couldn't do anything, and turned to look out the window, where several merchant ships came out. Zhou Siyi said, "It's Bai Xiuyuan who is here, I'll leave first."
Shi Luo nodded.
Zhou Siyi left and came back soon, with Bai Xiuyuan following behind him. Shi Luo found that the two of them looked bad, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
"What happened?"
Bai Xiuyuan was exhausted all the way, looking at Shi Luo and said, "Don't worry first."
Shi Luo doubted: "Is something wrong with my fourth brother and the others?"
Bai Xiuyuan nodded and said, "I heard in the morning that a merchant ship met a gangster last night. A merchant ship in Nanyue was hijacked. The court has sent people there. Maybe your fourth brother is not on that ship."
Shi Luo only felt his mind buzzing.
"Don't be anxious first." Bai Xiuyuan said: "The water ghost seeks money but not life."
Water bandits are generally called water ghosts.
How could Shi Luo not be in a hurry? She stood up in a hurry and rushed back to Nanyue Mansion. Only then did she find that Xiao Mo had already gone out. It should have received the news. Shi Luo finally felt a little relieved.
The waiting process was always long and tormenting. Shi Luo thought about going to inquire about the news again, so he went to Jinxiu Pavilion and asked Bai Xiuyuan's location at home from Manager Qiao.
It was already noon when he arrived. Bai Xiuyuan did not live with the Bai family. He bought a yard next to the Bai family. It looked like it was one. Usually he walked through another door when he went out. There was a small door in the yard, which was usually locked. Others from the Bai family could not come to his yard without giving instructions.
When Shi Luo came, Bai Xiuyuan was having lunch with Zhou Siyi. Zhou Siyi didn't pick on it. The two of them only had two dishes and a pot of wine, and they were talking about the fact that the merchant ship in South Vietnam was robbed.
"Young Master, the Princess of Nanyue is here." Qingyan said.
Bai Xiuyuan said without surprise: "Let the princess wait in the front hall, and I'll come over immediately."
