Although Guan Zhihe's words were said in a joking tone, there was still a little inferiority complex in his heart, especially when he was dealing with tricky things, he could always react the fastest at the first time, which made her extremely admired, but the admiration added a little inferiority.

He Xiu is not good at observing and comprehending women's thoughts, so he has never noticed the mystery of this, and just expressed his opinions in a daze.

Sha Jiannan doesn't know anything about women, and Guan Zhihe's thoughts are only understood by her own birth and raising, so Guan Kaihui encouraged her behind her back, asking her to be humble and learn from her heart, and not to be lazy.

Guan Zhihe took it to heart and decided to be a real mystery!

With this determination, Guan Zhihe did not pestering He Xiu all the time, but worked hard and practiced diligently.

After saying goodbye to the two of them, He Xiu came to the Huipeng Building alone to check the recent situation, and found that there were only a few people in the store, and the eighty carvers were still working with their heads down, and they didn't see him walk in at all.

Although this business was given to the Zhou family, he was a little unwilling in his heart, so he wandered alone on the first floor to think, and at this time, the carver on the first floor found him.

Walking and walking to the door, I saw the piece of cloth hanging out of the courtyard of the Zhou family, and my heart suddenly brightened.

So he hurriedly ran home, turned out Xiankang's book of poems, selected the most classic and widely circulated thirty poems, copied it, and then returned to Huipeng Building as fast as he could, and asked these craftsmen to carve these verses on the back of the statue.

This idea, in order not to let the Zhou family on the other side of the door find out, He Xiu ordered them to work and rest here day and night, not allowed to go out half a step, and to close the door for three days, carving out 4,000 statues, ready to catch the Zhou family off guard.

Of course, these craftsmen also got paid handsomely, and they expressed their willingness to stay in the Huipeng Building and work overtime to complete the task.

He Xiu also played an exemplary role, for three days, accompanied these people in the Huipeng Building without going out for a single step, and saw a statue placed on the exhibition table, and the evil breath in his heart finally spit out.

He personally bought a long whip on the fourth day and lit it with his own hands, and after the sound of firecrackers, 4,000 statues with Xiankang's verses were placed on the shopping table, and the people queuing up to buy in Zhou's house returned to the courtyard of Huipeng Building again, scrambling to buy them.

These 4,000 statues were sold out in just half a pillar of incense, and He Xiu, who was anxious, urged them upstairs and downstairs to carve faster.

With the efforts of 80 craftsmen, another 300 statues were completed before sunset, and then they were sold out in the blink of an eye, and the people who did not buy them threw themselves in front of the Zhou family's court.

At noon, after seeing these statues with poems, the Zhou family also imitated a batch of them, and followed He Xiu to taste a little sweetness.

In order not to be robbed of business by the Zhou family, He Xiu ordered these craftsmen to still not be allowed to go back to rest, and asked them to carve a hundred statues before the rooster crows tomorrow.

The matter on Qiao Shenming's side was almost over, so He Xiu was replaced, which gave him a chance to breathe and returned home with his tired body.

Guan Kaihui heard about this matter for the first time, and waited in the visitor hall early; "Xiu'er, you have been tired for the past three days, come, this is He'er's own body tonic soup, drink it while it's hot." ”

After drinking the tonic soup in one go, he said to Guan Kaihui, "Uncle Guan, the Zhou family is really a bit too much, what we do, he will do, isn't it obvious that he can't get along with us?"

"Haha, Xiu'er, you can't hold your breath again," Guan Kaihui smiled heartily, and then said, "The Zhou family can imitate our statue, but the handwriting can't be imitated, I specially sent someone to buy a statue of the Zhou family today, Xiu'er, what is the difference between you and ours?"

Guan Zhihe also finished practicing at this time, and came to He Xiu with a pink lantern to look at it with him.

"Uncle Guan, although these handwriting are beautiful, they are a little less arrogant, and they are not far from the handwriting carved by our craftsmen. ”

"Yes, we should work this, so that the Zhou family only has a greedy share. ”

"Brother He Xiu, I know where there is a more vigorous handwriting than this handwriting!"

was reminded by Guan Zhihe, He Xiu suddenly thought of the big statue at the entrance of his village, the handwriting on it was chic and vigorous, and it was done in one stroke, if he could find this person who wrote, the Zhou family would really only have a greedy share.

He Xiu originally wanted to arrange for his family to go to Qiyu Village, but he was afraid that those villagers would not be able to trust the living, so he only came to the village with torches and horses overnight.

The old couple was taken aback by He Xiu's uninvited stunned, and thought that he had come to ask for the seeds and farm tools sent last time, and claimed again and again that the seeds had been planted and the farm tools had been borrowed from the neighboring village.

He Xiu smiled dumbly, and hurriedly explained the reason for his rash night visit, and the old couple landed their hanging hearts on the ground, and patted their chests proudly and said that that line of words was written by me.

Then he asked them who the carver of the statue was, and the old man slapped his chest again, telling him that it was also his masterpiece, and He Xiule couldn't even close his mouth.

I thought of taking them to the mansion overnight, but considering their advanced age, I decided to send a carriage to meet them tomorrow, and after saying goodbye to them in a hurry, I returned to the mansion on horseback.

When a white fish belly appeared in the sky, He Xiu ordered the four family members to drive the carriage to Qiyu Village, and returned to pay the errand at noon.

He Xiu was not in a hurry, but recruited a group of family members who could write, and asked them to learn the pen style with Old Man Zhang, and asked them to master all the pen style of Old Man Zhang within half a month.

This matter has come to an end, and He Xiu returned to the Huipeng Building to check the situation; "Brother Qiao, how is business today?"

Qiao Shenming nodded at the door of the Zhou family, "It's similar to theirs, by the way, has Uncle Zhang been invited?"

He Xiu told him that everything was ready, and he sent those family members out of the school, "By the way, was the Zhou family's horse team going to Sioux City intercepted when they passed through that nameless mountain?"

Qiao Shenming shook his head, "No, our men have been following us fifty miles away, and we still haven't seen those bandits appear, it seems that the old man really guessed." ”

"It's okay, wait another half a month, I'll invite that master out, and they won't dare to intercept our goods again!" He Xiu looked at the finished products of those statues and said heavily.

"Brother He, it seems that you are already completely sure, how about it? Can you give me some leakage?" Qiao Shenming's appetite was hung ten zhang high, and he couldn't wait to know a little.

But He Xiu didn't get his wish, he just ran upstairs with a chuckle, and Qiao Shenming had no choice but to continue to raise his appetite and wait for the master he said.

With the notice of the emperor of their country, the people responded one after another, and there were long queues in the arms shops of the two houses in Guan Chang to compete with each other to buy the weapons they had in hand.

Qiao Shenming also took the opportunity to introduce to He Xiu a manager of the armory shop that he had personally arranged, Hai Jianmeng.

He Xiu saw that this Hai Jianmeng was only in his early twenties, and he exuded a shrewdness all over his body, especially those big eyes full of spirituality, which made people appreciate him at a glance. After listening to his report on some matters in the weapons shop in recent days, he couldn't help but praise him, and affirmed Qiao Shenming's clever employment on the spot.

The creation of weapons is not as simple as carving to make money, each weapon has to go through thousands of tempering, in order to become a sharp weapon, He Xiu personally painted the image of the weapon, each of which has a sample for the people to buy.

And the Chang family also launched nearly five kinds of long and short weapons samples, the two you fight for me, not humble to each other, the people who came to buy weapons, the third street around the water leakage, there are many women in this, it seems that the emperor's notice really played a role, at this time Qiman Town is really as sung in the play, all the people are soldiers.

But judging from the number of people queuing up outside the door, it is better to buy and sell at the closed house.

Qiao Shenming accompanied He Xiu to the west side of the main street, He Xiu saw the merchants who couldn't pay the rental fee before, and they all came back to do their old business, these merchants threw disgusted expressions at them after seeing that it was the people of the Guan family, and they still read broken words in their mouths, as if they were scolding them for not saving them when they saw death, or maybe they were gloating.

The two of them quickly left, "Brother Qiao, how do I feel as if I have seen them somewhere. ”

"Haha, Brother He, are you crushed by the burden on your body, you have dealt with them so much in Huipeng Building, of course you know them. ”

"No, I mean, I've really seen them somewhere else......"

Qiao Shenming didn't know what he was going to express at all, so he smiled and shook his head, "Okay, Brother He, I think, you have to have a good rest, you can go back with confidence, everything here is with me." ”

He Xiu was also thinking, maybe he was really tired, and his mind was sluggish, so he said goodbye to him and returned alone, and just after taking a few steps, he was stopped by Zhou Songli's carriage; "Brother He, where are you going?"

He Xiu sorted out his troubled mood and said to him, "Hello Brother Zhou, He Xiu is going to go back to the house to rest." ”

"Come, Brother He gets in the car, I'll give you a ride. ”

Zhou Songli was afraid of being rejected like last time, so he jumped out of the car and pulled He Xiu up, so he had to take his carriage forward.

The two people sitting in the carriage could only hear Zhou Songli's gushing praise, and He Xiu responded with one word and one word every time, completely treating his praise as air.
