Chapter 427

Fang Chengye put down his bamboo slips and walked to Fang Jingrong step by step. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "ah Rong, you know, the emperor can't wait for a moment!"

Fang Jingrong gritted his teeth. Now he wants those merchants. It's hard for him to get the money out. He knows that the emperor is pressing for it, and the war at the border can't wait for a moment. Now the collection of military pay all over the country has been sent to the officials. If he falls behind and messes up this time, it will affect his official career in the imperial court.

"Don't worry, Dad. I'll hold on!"

"Then do yourself a favor."

As soon as Fang Chengye came out of the house, Liu Dadong came to him and said that Cao Qing was visiting.

I haven't seen Cao Qing for several years, and I don't know what he looks like now. However, when he was a child, he was more motivated than Yuanning and Jingrong. Fang Chengye went back to the room to change his clothes, and then he went to the hall to see Cao Qing.

After a few years' absence, Cao Qing Yan Ran became a handsome young man. He had the wisdom hidden in his eyes, which is not everyone's. when he first met many years later, Fang Chengye's face couldn't hide his joy.

"Qing'er, don't tell me before you come. Your aunt is not in the house now“ Fang Chengye has also heard about Cao Qing. He is a genius in business when he was young, but he made bricks for the Cao family. He is much better than his son Fang Yuanning, who is not a tool.

"Uncle, I've come here specially to see you. It's also my fault that I have too many things to do in recent years. I haven't had the chance to visit my uncle. Today I brought two night pearls to my uncle. It's just a bit of my nephew's heart“ Cao Qing said and took out the small box in his arms.

"Qing'er is so polite. You can come to see my uncle. My uncle is very happy. Don't you take these things to see me?" to Cao Qing, Fang Chengye is a small talker. On the contrary, his two sons are alienated from his father, but his nephew and uncle are very close.

"Uncle, I've heard about cousin Yuanning. I'd like to ask my uncle to be patient." Cao Qing said, his face is heartbroken: "cousin accident, but I can't help."

Fang Chengye sighed: "it's not anyone's fault. It's your cousin's fault. Because of him, my Houfu almost lost face. If Yuanning could be as sensible as you, he would not end up like this."

"Don't say that, uncle. My cousin has his own special qualities“ Cao Qing said and helped Fang Chengye.

"It's my uncle. You've been very thin recently, but you have to take good care of yourself. Others don't know my uncle's burden, but they know that it's not easy for my uncle to cope with the folk rumors and support the situation alone in the court." Cao Qingdun continued: "nephew now, as the president of Yuzhou chamber of Commerce, if there is anything my uncle needs to help, just say it straight."

Cao Qing's words make Fang Chengye sad. His two sons have never said such kind words to him.

"Qing'er, you're a good boy. Your uncle is very kind to you." Fang Chengye suddenly responded and said, "you mean you are the president of Yuzhou chamber of Commerce“

"Yes, uncle, I have some weight in my words in this chamber of Commerce. If my uncle needs any help, he can tell me that Qing'er will do his best." Cao Qing became the president of the chamber of Commerce because he kept a low profile, so the Fang family didn't know about it. What's more, he knew that the Fang family only used the Cao family, but now he watched his aunt helplessly. Everything that he had been running in the government for so many years would soon come to nothing, so he had to do it.

"That's very good. Ah Rong's salary is well paid“ Fang Chengye said, turning to the door waiting for Liu Dadong: "steward Liu, go and call Jing Rong over“

After a while, Liu Dadong led Fang Jingrong over to see the look of housekeeper Liu. It should be that some distinguished guests had come. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw his father talking with a man. But when the man invested in Yihui, Fang Jingrong recognized him. Isn't that Cao Huichang of the chamber of Commerce?

But Cao Qing, also in a daze, put down his tea and got up with a look of surprise: "Lord Fang, how are you here?"

Looking at their faces, Fang Chengye smiles: "how come you two know each other?"

"Qing'er, this is your form, Fang Jingrong. You two played together when you were young." Fang Chengye said and gave a look to Fang Jingrong: "ah Rong, come and meet your cousin, Cao Qing."

Fang Chengye said this, Fang Jingrong is a little bit impressed. Although Cao Qing is two years younger than himself, when he was a child playing together, he couldn't bear any loss. At that time, he was a good human spirit. But he hasn't been to the mansion these years. How can he visit the mansion at this time!

Cao Qing suddenly reacted and said with a smile: "this is really a big flood. The people of his family don't know his own people. I knew that Lord Fang was my cousin. It's not easy to collect the military pay!"

At this moment, when he touches his mouth, it's light. Seeing his father's expression, Fang Jingrong knows all about it. Cao Qingming knows his identity. He deliberately made trouble before, just to make Fang Chengye lose face in front of him.

Don't think about it carefully. He doesn't know? He's not as stupid as he was when he was a kid.

Since Cao Qing loves acting so much, he will accompany him now.

"It's my cousin." Fang Jingrong said, sitting on the chair close to Cao Qing with an intimate face.

At this time, Liu Dadong came in and whispered a few words in Fang Chengye's ear.

"Ah Rong, Qing'er, you two haven't seen each other for many years. Let's talk about the past here. I have something else to do. Let's go out first“ Fang Chengye's words fell, so he went out with Liu Dadong.

As soon as Cao Qing came to the door, some merchants came in to give gifts. I don't know where they got the news.

In recent years, the Marquis of Yuzhou has been defeated. His title is just a short title. On the surface, the merchants of Yuzhou are respectful to him, but on the back, they all know what's going on. They didn't think that the gifts they gave this time were quite valuable. Fang Chengye almost saw the prosperity of the Marquis of Yuzhou in front of his eyes.

Over the years, Cao's family and Hou's family have been interdependent. However, Cao Bing is an old fox and has a good command of everything. Now Cao Qing has sent him to show his kindness. It's an opportunity. Maybe he can take advantage of this opportunity to collect all the merchants in Yuzhou.
