Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

The Meng family's business is spread all over Cangyun Kingdom, except for the ship business, which they have not been involved in for the time being.

In order to prove his ability, Lu Shaoyuan negotiated cooperation with the chief shipowner in Beijing.

 The chief shopkeeper was known as Jiang Shanglong, and every merchant ship exported from the capital had to obtain his approval.

And this Jiang Shanglong was over seventy years old and had an extremely unapproachable character. In his early years, he even had some unpleasantness with Mrs. Meng over the matter of shipping grain.

He once promised not to do the Meng family's business, but Lu Shaoyuan was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity to make a fortune. He visited the big shopkeeper's home many times and finally won Jiang Shanglong's appreciation.

This night, the moonlight was bright, and Jiang Shanglong went down to the largest restaurant in the city to hold a banquet to celebrate the cooperation between Lu Shaoyuan and himself.

Jiang Shanglong called his three deputy assistants to the shopkeeper, and two accountants who would be responsible for dealing with Lu Shaoyuan in the future.

“Second Young Master Lu is young and promising, with an upright and open character. I am very happy to cooperate with you in the shipping business.” Jiang Shanglong’s white beard curled up with a smile, and his originally serious face with Chinese characters was now full of red.

Lu Shaoyuan handed over his hand and said: "Master Long, I have promoted you. I will ask you for advice on these things on the ferry in the future."

The more humble he is, the more Jiang Shanglong likes him, stroking his beard and laughing.

"I'm older, and I'm not as good as you rising stars. Your mother is a powerful person. When I was in my prime, I had a bad temper. The two of us argued so hard that we turned the table over. Now that I think about it, it's really not worth it. I'm still two rounds older than her, and I was wrong about what happened back then, so if you can take the initiative to make peace, it can be considered a regret for me."

Jiang Shanglong said and patted Lu Shaoyuan on the shoulder: "You have to run the business well. I won't be able to do it anymore, and I'm still waiting for the protection of Second Young Master Lu."

Lu Shaoyuan stood up and raised his glass: "Uncles, you are willing to hand over the ship business to me. I will definitely live up to your expectations. We will make money together in the future, and we will never let you suffer!"

Jiang Shanglong and others applauded and high-fived, and Lu Shaoyuan drank three bottles of strong liquor to express his determination.

This move was even more appreciated by Jiang Shanglong. When discussing business, he likes to talk with cheerful people, and Lu Shaoyuan is exactly what he likes.

 After finishing the meal, Jiang Shanglong will give the seal representing all ferry shipping businesses in the capital to Lu Shaoyuan, and Lu Shaoyuan joins the shipping business at a price of 30,000 taels of gold.

 From now on, when they deliver goods, Jiang Shanglong gets 30%, and the rest belongs to Lu Shaoyuan.

 In fact, before Lu Shaoyuan made this decision, Mrs. Meng reminded him that Jiang Shanglong was originally a water bandit, and later got the opportunity to start a business.

 But Mrs. Meng was worried that they were bandits in nature, and she was afraid that Lu Shaoyuan would suffer.

What's more, the businessmen of the Meng family have a great business, so it doesn't matter if they don't do the shipping business.

Lu Shaoyuan didn’t think so.

He has a premonition that the waterway business will make a lot of money in the future. His goal is not only to open a shop in Cangyun Country to make money, but also to bring the skills of buying and selling goods to surrounding countries.

Furthermore, taking the water route is much faster than taking the official road. After reaching an agreement with Jiang Shanglong, it is actually convenient for them.

At this moment, Lu Shaoyuan drank one cup after another, drinking with Jiang Shanglong and other shopkeepers in high spirits, and gradually became drunk.

Suddenly, a boy came in from the door. He was in a panic. Lu Shaoyuan squinted his drunken eyes and saw that he was Jiang Shanglong's confidant.

 After he came in, he whispered a few words into Jiang Shanglong's ear.

Jiang Shanglong's expression changed, and he immediately put down his cup and shouted angrily: "What nonsense! Tell her to get back here, otherwise, see how I punish her!"

The boy said a few more words, and Jiang Shanglong snapped: "It's really lawless! I'll go take a look."

He stood up and said to Lu Shaoyuan: "Master Shaodong, I have some family matters that I have to deal with urgently."

Lu Shaoyuan hurriedly stood up and handed over his hands, a little drunk: "Master Long, please go as soon as possible, this junior will leave soon."

Jiang Shanglong said to the helpers around him and the deputy shopkeeper: "You must accompany the second young master for me, and you must not neglect it."

A round-faced deputy shopkeeper stood up immediately: "Don't worry, Mr. Long, we will make arrangements for the second young master."

Jiang Shanglong left in a hurry.

 The remaining deputy shopkeepers began to take turns drinking with Lu Shaoyuan.

At the end of the drink, everyone laughed and asked: "I heard that the second young master is getting engaged to the princess soon. I wonder when I can drink your wedding wine?"

　　Lu Shaoyuan was extremely happy when he mentioned this matter.

 Immediately raised my glass with high spirits: "I will definitely invite all my uncles to the banquet when the time comes!"

 Everyone laughed: “Then we’ll be waiting!”

After another round of drinks, Lu Shaoyuan drank more than before. He wanted to get up and leave, but he stumbled all the way and fell down before he reached the door.

Several deputy shopkeepers rushed to help him, and the round-faced shopkeeper ordered Lu Shaoyuan to stand at the door.

"Hurry up and find the store, make some sobering soup and bring it to the guest room. The second young man is so drunk, let's help him to rest for a while. He won't be able to leave like this." The entourage hurried away.

Like a puddle of drunken mud, Lu Shaoyuan was helped to the room and lay down.

 He was lying on the couch, watching the purple bed tent swaying, and remembered that a skirt that Shen Ningning liked before was purple.

Lu Shaoyuan's handsome face was flushed with wine, and he smiled as if soaked in honey.

 Once the major ship matter was settled, he would have more confidence to get engaged to Shen Ningning.

  She likes beautiful jewelry and dresses so much that he will give her all the money he earns from now on.

Lu Shaoyuan has thought about it, whether he has been with Shen Ningning for three, five, ten or thirty years, he will treat her as sincerely and warmly as he does now.

 There will never be any other woman except her.

Suddenly, he felt someone taking off his clothes, and Lu Shaoyuan looked drunkenly sideways.

His vision was shaky and blurred, but he could still see it. She was a girl with fair skin and wearing a brogue.

Lu Shaoyuan pushed her away with one arm, and said with a loud tongue: "No need to wait, where are my, my people?"

The girl said: "The second master's servants went to make sober soup. They asked the slaves to help the second master change his clothes. You see, they all vomited on it."

Lu Shaoyuan was confused. Did he vomit?

 Looking down, I saw that there was indeed a stain on my sleeve. I didn’t know what it was.

He obediently asked the maid to take off her outer robe, and then completely exhausted, she fell on the couch.

 For some reason, the temperature in the room made him feel hot and thirsty.

 “Bring water.”

The maid brought a cup of cool tea. Lu Shaoyuan felt very comfortable drinking it and asked for another cup.

 Finally, he fell on the couch unaware of anyone else. The girl came forward and called in a low voice: "Second Young Master...Second Young Master?"

Lu Shaoyuan made no move.

The girl looked back at the door. Someone had opened the door a crack and was peeking in.

 The man outside nodded, and the girl climbed directly onto Lu Shaoyuan's bed, and then put down the bed curtain.

 The next day.

Shen Ningning was invited by Ye Changyi to have dinner at the largest restaurant in the city.

 She sat in the private room for a long time, but Ye Changyi didn't come.

 Suddenly, a scream came from next door.

Shen Ningning hurriedly ran over to check. The scream was so miserable that it attracted the waiter and the guests in the surrounding private rooms.

 Everyone gathered at the door to watch, and the person at the front pointed -

 “It looks so good, but it turns out to be a beast dressed in clothes.”

“Girl, stop crying and report to the official immediately!”

 The sound of a woman sobbing was heard, crying: "My innocence is all gone!"

Shen Ningning frowned slightly, wondering if another prodigal was causing trouble at the foot of the imperial city?

Suddenly, someone said: "Huh? How does that man... look like the young master of the Meng family?"

Someone hurriedly put on clothes and rushed out.

Hunted head-on with Shen Ningning.

 The girl suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, and Lu Shaoyuan's eyes were also filled with surprise.

Standing in front of Shen Ningning, he was disheveled, wearing only his coat, and he could still see the nail scratches on his chest.

The person next to me really recognized him: "He is really the second master of the Lu family!"

"Ning Ning, I'm not, I didn't do this!" Lu Shaoyuan was anxious and explained quickly.

However, Shen Ningning looked behind him, and saw a woman with her hair disheveled, kneeling on the ground with her back to everyone, and there were teeth marks on her fair shoulders.

 Babies, today is the fifth day of the lunar month to welcome the God of Wealth! By the way, I wish you a happy Valentine's Day!
