Chapter 7162 The Dou Family
Feng Meiyu returned to the mansion. It was almost dusk, but he did not go back to his inner house, but ran towards the place where his father lived.
After the maid reported it, he entered his father's study.
You can see Feng Qingya sitting at the desk.
The table is full of documents. Feng Qingya holds a pen in his hand and writes calligraphy and painting on it from time to time.
"I've met my father." Feng Meiyu greeted him first.
The Feng family has strict rules, and all filial piety and etiquette cannot be broken.
"My son, I'm back. How was your talk with Mr. Luo?" Feng Qingya turned her head, her originally stern face relaxed.
No matter what, he still loves his only son. In addition, his son has been quite successful recently, which has allowed him to earn a lot of face.
“Father, Mr. Luo said that he will take care of our family’s business, and there will be news when the time comes.”
"In addition, he means that in a few days, I will enter Bailudong Academy with him." Feng Meiyu said.
"This is a good thing. It seems that Mr. Luo appreciates it very much. In a few days, I will have people prepare things for you to enter the school. From now on, you can work hard and work hard to have a bright future." Feng Qing Ya smiled.
"Father, but I still have a question. Mr. Luo has the official position of admiral of the navy, and he is the son of a general. But is it necessary for our Feng family to rely on him to have a bright future?"
Feng Meiyu felt very puzzled. Although Mr. Luo's abilities and family background were both excellent, the Luo family was a rising star who had only emerged in recent years. Compared with many big families with deep foundations, they still had some differences. Small gap.
How could his father Feng Qingya value him so much?
"Don't say it, this is a huge secret. If you know even a little bit about it now, your life may be in danger. Just remember to follow Mr. Luo closely!" Feng Qingya suddenly said with a cold and serious expression.
"Understood." Feng Meiyu immediately did not dare to ask any more questions. It had been like this every time before. Once Feng Qingya became so serious, this matter was truly extremely serious and could even endanger his wealth. At the time of life.
......
After Feng Meiyu left, Luo Xingchen went to see Fang Yizhi again and had a good chat with him about Confucianism. After he left, he was about to return to his room to rest. , but Butler Wang rushed over.
"Who did you say is here?" Luo Xingchen didn't hear clearly at first.
"It's Dou Jinhan from the Dou family." Butler Wang said again.
"Why did he come to my house? Our family probably has no friendship with his Dou family." Luo Xingchen was a little confused.
If he had any personal relationship with the Dou family, it stands to reason that his mother and father would leave messages, but Luo Xingchen had never heard of it.
"This, I am not." Wang Guanjia said.
"Greetings to the guests first, I will come in a moment." Luo Xingchen said.
Asking Butler Wang is a bit overwhelming.
Steward Wang is mainly in charge of things within the house. He doesn't know much about the relationships outside the house, and he knows nothing about some secret things.
"Here."
Steward Wang bowed and left. Originally, he was not supposed to handle these things, but Master Luo had just come back recently, so it would be better to handle some things by himself.
After a while, Luo Xingchen washed his face and sobered up, then walked out of the room and came to the living room outside.
This is the place to receive Beiliyuan. After Beiliyuan left, Dou Jinhan was welcomed again. One thing they have in common is that they all came by themselves without being invited by Luo Xingchen.
“I’ve met Master Luo.”
When Dou Jinhan saw Luo Xingchen appear, he greeted him politely.
"No need to be polite, you and I have already met each other at the cultural gathering." Luo Xingchen said lightly.
What he said was the truth. The two had already talked before the cultural gathering, but it was just a few simple greetings and nothing in-depth.
"Mr. Luo, it's really a bit abrupt to come here this time." Dou Jinhan said.
"No, Brother Dou is a talented person in the capital. It is an honor for my Luo family to come to the Marquis Mansion."
Mr. Luo also accompanied him and exchanged a few words.
The Dou family is different from other aristocratic families. This is a large family with a long history. Luo Xingchen still has some respect for being able to inherit it for such a long time.
"Mr. Luo, let me get straight to the point. I came here this time mainly because I want to discuss something with Mr. Luo." Dou Jinhan said.
“Please tell me.” Luo Xingchen was also curious as to what Dou Jinhan’s purpose was.
“Actually, to put it bluntly, it doesn’t matter, it’s just the word shipping.” Dou Jinhan said.
“Where did you hear that the imperial court is going to open sea transportation?” Luo Xingchen narrowed his eyes.
"The Dou family still has some channels. Besides, this matter is not a secret among the wealthy families in the capital." Dou Jinhan said with a smile.
"Since you, the Dou family, have known about it for a long time, you can just wait for the court's official announcement and act in accordance with the court's requirements." Luo Xingchen also smiled slightly.
"Having said that, many things require one step at a time and one step at a time. Shipping requires big ships, mature routes and sales. The only one who can do this in Daqi is Mr. Luo. ." Dou Jinhan said.
"Although the imperial court has not opened up sea transportation, it has not completely banned private sea transportation. Otherwise, how could many goods from Western Yajili and other countries, and even Sunrise Country, enter Daqi? Privately, sea transportation has long been We have it, and the scale is not small, so what you said, Brother Dou, is that only Mr. Luo can do it, which is too sensational." Luo Xingchen did not agree with Dou Jinhan's statement.
“It’s among the people. It’s usually controlled by families from Jiangnan. The four major families in Jiangnan are secretly engaged in shipping. But elsewhere, special aristocratic families don’t have shipping. Those in the capital have The one with this level of strength must be Mr. Luo," Dou Jinhan said in a sincere tone.
"In the capital, it is true that I am the only one who can do it. I have new warships and new merchant ships, but those are not mine. They are the ships of the imperial court. Even if it is shipping, I am doing my best for the emperor, not for the family. Benefit." Luo Xingchen said calmly.
"But we heard that the imperial court is going to set up a shipping company, and you can buy shares in this company." Dou Jinhan paused.
"Yes, the imperial court does intend to prepare a shipping company, but it has not been announced yet." This is not a secret, and Luo Xingchen has no intention of hiding it.
"To be honest, Mr. Luo, our family wants to invest in it, but it's difficult for the Dou family. Nowadays, there really aren't many ways out." Dou Jinhan sighed.
"Mr. Luo, you should know what happened to our Dou family when Da Qi was founded. At that time, the Dou family chose the wrong person." Dou Jinhan said.
"Times have changed, and the emperor has never said anything about pursuing the Dou family..." Luo Xingchen said indifferently.
"But the Dou family cannot make a difference in the court. Over the years, the emperors have never reused the Dou family. Year after year, the Dou family has declined." Dou Jinhan sighed.
