The big sale of the statue of the double spirit leopard made all the people's houses in Qiman Town replace their statues with their statues, and other towns in Suzhou City, after hearing about this matter, have thrown orders to the Guan family.

The Zhou family was jealous of their business, and Zhou Songli came to the door several times, asking to cooperate with them, and was willing to hand over three layers of income every month as a condition, He Xiu and Qiao Shenming were opposed at first, but after Guan Kaihui's enlightenment, they agreed to join the Zhou family.

Guan Kaihui's mind He Xiu also guessed, what he meant was that competition in business would bring greater benefits, and if the business was a monopoly, it would attract more enemies, so it was better to share it in exchange for a favor.

Another point is that you can take the Zhou family as an example to attract more merchants to join, so that you can reap the benefits of fishermen as the largest shareholder.

He Xiu admired his analysis of these two points, but he was still inexperienced, and he only saw the immediate benefits, and did not think deeper into the back.

In fact, Qiao Shenming also thought of these two points, and the reason why he disagreed was because the Zhou family united with the bandits to intercept their goods last time, which made him haunted his heart and could not let go.

However, Guan Kaihui is the supreme leader of this family, and the final decision is in his hands, and Qiao Shenming has no choice but to do so.

The Chang family here, after receiving an additional thousand weapons from Huipeng Building, had a drastic change in their attitude towards He Xiu, as if all grievances had disappeared.

After the people of Qiman Town knew about this incident, they gave He Xiu a thumbs up, praising the Guan family for having a good demeanor, and the business of the armory shop slowly spread to Sioux City.

In order to satisfy more merchants, the number of miners in Taoyuan Vein has reached thousands, and the daily mining volume is also about ten times that of the past.

With the largest order in Suzhou City, the silver taels that were in deficit for the last time they bought food were finally all returned: "Haha, Brother Qiao, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." ”

"Haha, Brother He, I am now convinced of the sentence that success is in heaven and in people, especially the decision made by the master, it is really long-term, and we still have a lot to learn. ”

The two sat in the visitor hall, talking and laughing, complimenting each other, and there had been no such laughter in the visitor hall for a long time.

"Haha, Xiu'er, Steward Qiao, the old man is very happy today, today I want to feast everyone, drunk until dawn tomorrow, and I also invited the girl to play the piano for everyone. Guan Kaihui took a heroic step, and a hearty laugh came from his throat: "It's a pity, He'er is not by the old man's side." ”

He Xiu bowed his hand, his expression was serious, and he said sincerely: "Uncle Guan, He'er is because she doesn't want to see me, otherwise, Xiu'er won't participate in tonight's feast, I think He'er will definitely attend on time." ”

"Xiu'er, where are you? If you hadn't been busy in the past few days, would the Guan family have achieved such results? Don't worry too much, He'er has already sent someone to do enlightenment, and I believe she will definitely attend on time." Guan Kaihui took the hands of the two of them, sat them down, and then continued: "Do you two know what day it is?"

He Xiu looked at the expressions of the two of them, and felt that today must be a special day, but what it was, he didn't know what it was: "Dare to ask Uncle Guan, what day is today?"

"Haha, Steward Qiao, Xiu'er doesn't know, you can remind me. After Guan Kaihui finished speaking, he walked to the guqin and fiddled with the strings.

"Brother He, let me ask you, how many important festivals are there in a person's life?"

Qiao Shenming's smug expression, He Xiu saw it for the first time, his brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about the answer to the question: "There is a rite of passage, the title of the gold list, a son under his knees, a high career, a famous Bazhou, and a crane immortal tour!"

"Yes, yes, it's rare that you still remember Brother He, but you seem to have forgotten two things. After Qiao Shenming heard what he said, he pointed to his head and said, "Think about it again." ”

He Xiu silently recited what he had just said in his mouth again: "By the way, there is also the gift of tying your hair, and you are born into the world." ”

"Haha, it seems that Brother He still remembers, that's easy to say, Brother He has been in the mansion for a long time, do you know whose birthday hasn't been spent yet?"

If this had been put in the past, He Xiu would definitely have guessed it at the first time, the things in his mind recently were all business details, and he completely left all the people who were most important to him behind, and he still couldn't remember after pacing back and forth in pondering left and right: "Brother Qiao, who is it?"

"Brother He, you are really smart and confused for a while, just now the master said, who didn't come?" Qiao Shenming shook his head and drank the tea in his hand, the expression on his face was very anxious for him: "Brother He, it seems that you should have a good rest, what's the matter, do you want me to take a few days for you first?"

"Yes...... Today is He'er's birthday?Oh my God, why did I forget about this?" He Xiu hurriedly asked Guan Kaihui, "Uncle Guan, will He'er come today?"

"If nothing else, I'm afraid Miss Tilting has invited He'er out by now. Guan Kaihui said while adjusting the strings: "She does not live in the Guo Mansion, but lives in a courtyard on the left side of the Guo Mansion, and I think it will take less than three teas for her to arrive." ”

Isn't that the courtyard that Gu Tiantian bought with her own money? I remember the last time she told herself that the courtyard had been empty and no one lived in it, and she wanted him to move in, which was what it meant.

I regretted it for a while, I should have accepted her opinion at the beginning, if I really moved in, maybe I would have reconciled with He'er.

"Brother He, seeing that your face is so flustered, you shouldn't have prepared gifts in advance, right?"

Qiao Shenming deserved to be his confidant, and he saw through her current situation at a glance, but he only prepared a gift, so he couldn't break it and split it in half: "Brother He, hurry up and take advantage of the fact that there is still time to go to the market to buy a gift that the young lady likes and come back." ”

Awakened by this sentence, he immediately ran wildly and ran towards the market, but it was still early in the morning, and most of the merchants selling gifts on the street did not open their doors, so they had to knock on the door from door to door.

Every merchant who was knocked on the door saw that it was him He Xiu himself, saying that as long as he valued the things in his store, he would not charge any fees, but there was a request, that is, to use him, to promote his own things, He Xiu did not hesitate at all, and all agreed, but Qiman Town is a town of 100,000 households, and there are no precious and valuable gifts for sale at all, Guan Zhihe grew up in the house since he was a child, and he should have seen, tasted, and heard of all kinds of precious things.

He didn't buy a satisfactory gift, he squatted on a corner of the street, thinking about what should be the most appropriate gift, and in the middle he thought of the statue of the double leopard, the statue of Xiankang, and the statue of herself, so that he gave her another good weapon, but time was pressing, and it was too late.

While complaining about his carelessness, he beat his chest and looked at the sky, and the white clouds in the sky made him suddenly realize in his heart.

In the Guanjia house, the visitor hall and the tables in the courtyard were already full of more than 300 people, and everyone bowed hands to each other, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and the words were very cordial.

As the head of the family, Guan Kaihui was busy in the front door, and Guan Zhihe, who was behind him, also followed him, talking and laughing at the elders and subordinates, and wishing each other about their well-being.

Only a delicate woman in the corner, which seemed out of place with the atmosphere of the scene, she adjusted the thin fingers of the strings, no longer moved, her eyes fixed on a certain place, as if she was thinking about a person.

Slowly, the atmosphere of the scene quieted down, after talking for so long, everyone had a dry mouth, felt hungry in their stomachs, could only stare at the delicious food in front of them and did not dare to move chopsticks, without the nod of the family, they did not dare to eat casually.

Guan Kaihui deliberately didn't notice this, but continued to pull a few old friends, chatting, as if he had been separated from them for a long time, there were always endless words, Guan Zhihe didn't know the deep meaning of this at all, and was defenseless to accompany and laugh behind.

Seeing that the sun was about to slowly fall, He Xiu's figure had not yet appeared, and in Guan Kaihui's eyes, the big guys were really a little impatient to wait, so they had to order the banquet to be held.

The atmosphere of the scene began to be lively again, and the piano in the corner had been looped many times.

Guan Kaihui's eyes wandered, and he glanced at Qiao Shen Ming, he pulled away and came to the gate of the mansion, and the family told him that He Xiu had never come again since he went out.

Qiao Shenming couldn't help but worry about him, so he had to walk in the market, asking him about his situation door to door, and the merchants answered the same answer: he came early in the morning, but he didn't buy anything.

Today's important festival can help the two of them untie the knot and eliminate misunderstandings.

I ran all three streets, but I still didn't find him, and at this time, I thought of it, could it be Guo Zhenxing who arrested him?

I ran to Guo's mansion again to meet their housekeeper, and learned from him that Guo Zhenxing went out early in the morning to buy gifts for his fiancée, and most importantly, He Xiu had never been here at all.

I searched all the places I should have looked, so I had to go back the way I came, Guan Kaihui was already a little drunk at this time, and his tongue began to harden when he spoke.

Guo Zhenxing came to congratulate with a kind of family, and the family carried more than 20 boxes of gifts on their shoulders.

Kwan Zhihe personally thanked his father and toasted him three glasses of wine in front of everyone as a return gift.

Time passed quickly, and when the sunset was draped in red glow, a large area of the courtyard had already fallen, and even Guo Zhenxing later was drunk and unconscious.

Only Qiao Shenming and Gu Tiantian remained sober enough.

"Tilting girl, I've been bothering you to play all afternoon, your fingers must be sore, hurry back and rest, I'll take care of it here." ”

"Steward Xie Qiao cares, but I don't know, why didn't Gongzi He appear at the banquet?"

"Oh, Dumping girl, you better ask someone else about this matter, Shen Ming does what is in the book, regardless of anything else, I'm sorry. ”

"Oh, it's okay, I'm leaving!"
