In the visitor hall of the Guan family, Guan Kaihui was still telling the truth in his heart to the two, and in order to reward them, he deliberately held a banquet in the center of the living room, and invited the family members who were in charge of escorting this time and his old man Zhang to the table together.

Guan Kaihui sat in the center, He Xiu was on the left, Qiao Shenming was on the right, and the rest of the people were seated in order of age.

He Xiu held a cup in one hand and a handheld pot, and saluted around the round table, inevitably getting drunk and walking unsteadily, but he was still able to stay awake enough and find a seat.

After a full stick of incense, except for Qiao Shenming, who never touched wine, all ended the banquet with their heads on the ground.

In order to make the family members feel uncomfortable, Guan Kaihui first drunk himself and became unconscious, He Xiu was taking care of him to sleep peacefully, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Maintaining the last bit of cognition, he crawled on the ground and moved outward, but fortunately, Qiao Shenming appeared in front of him in time, and it took a lot of effort to carry him to the bedroom, and when he saw that he was no longer tossing, he left.

This is the end of the celebration feast, but the rest is only the beginning.

"Brother He, Brother He, wake up, there is a woman named Tilt outside the door waiting outside and saying that she wants to see you. ”

There was indeed a woman with a goose egg face, dressed plainly, wearing a thin snow coat, her hands clenched into fists, as if she had something very important, anxiously waiting for He Xiu.

At this time, under Qiao Shenming's repeated explanations, He Xiu remembered this woman named Tilt, because of her special status, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, He Xiu hurriedly freshened up, changed clothes, and ran to the door of the mansion.

"Tilting has seen He Gongzi. ”

Although she was dressed plainly today, she still couldn't hide her face, not only spoke gently, but also had decent etiquette, she was generous and small, her eyes were slightly ashamed, and she said to He Xiu.

"Dumping girl, you came to me early in the morning, but is there anything important?"

"Childe lost a thing in my place that day, and after Dumpling found it again, he came to return it, how could I hear that Childe went out of Sioux City, and yesterday I heard that Childe had returned to the city, so I took the liberty to come to see it off today. ”

A yellow bell appeared from the palm of the leaning white hand, He Xiu was taken aback, this bell has never left the body since following him, how did he expect it to appear in her hand at this moment, for a while, she had doubts about her intention to change her clothes that day, but her face was not revealed, she suppressed the mood of being anxious to take it back, and said slowly: "This is He Xiu's item, the girl has a heart." ”

"Blame me for being careless that day, and failed to write down Childe's belongings, so that the thing failed to return to Childe in time, and please don't blame Childe. ”

Tilting his eyes with shame, bowing his head and pleading with Cheng After speaking, he was about to return it, when He Xiu's hand just reached her palm, the bell slipped down, and the two reached out to catch it at the same time, but the back of the tilting hand let He Xiu hold it in his hand, and the bell fell to the ground.

This sudden change made it happen that after half a ring, He Xiu realized that he had done something to cross the courtesy, and when he was about to stretch back, Guan Zhihe came to him with a horse, and happened to see this scene, so he turned the horse's head and galloped away.

The green onion and tender skin were pinched by He Xiu, and his cheeks were embarrassed, so he had to cover them with his sleeves: "Childe, you ......"

He Xiu hurriedly stretched out his hand back, and hurriedly apologized, explaining the mistake just now, how could he see the admiration flowing from her eyes, his mouth couldn't speak clearly, and the more he talked, the more chaotic he became.

Childe didn't have to explain too much, he understood in his heart that the angry young lady must have seen the scene just now, and he misunderstood in his heart, and Childe didn't hurry up to catch up. ”

Hearing this answer, He Xiu immediately ran forward, then turned back, smiled at her, picked up the bell and chased after her.

After running out for a long time, I found out that I didn't know where Guan Zhihe had gone, so I had to put on the bell and return to Guanfu.

"Brother He, He'er is sincere to you, you can't step on two boats. After listening to his retelling, Qiao Shenming sincerely persuaded.

"Brother Qiao, don't you know who I He Xiu is? It was a small misunderstanding just now, but I was caught by He'er, you say, where am I going to reason. He Xiu was so anxious that he patted the back of his hand and said back and forth.

"I guess He'er must be in the Guo family now, and he must have gone to find that Guo Zhenxing again. Qiao Shen Ming'an sat on the bench and analyzed with him that she was most likely to go to the place at the moment.

"No, I have to get her back, the father and son surnamed Guo have just been put together by us, and they hate the Guan family at the moment, and it is dangerous for He'er to stay there. After He Xiu finished speaking, he was about to pick up his sword and walk.

Qiao Shenming hurriedly pulled him back: "Brother He, I see that you look like you're going to fight with the enemy now, not like you're going to find someone." ”

"But, what then?" He Xiu threw the Mu Si sword on the octagonal table and sighed.

"Brother He, isn't there still me?"

"That's right, Brother Qiao, you have a deep relationship with the housekeeper of the Guo family, you must help with this favor, huh...... Even if you can't invite He'er, you have to remind her on the side and beware of Guo Zhenxing. ”

"Don't worry, I, Qiao Shenming, have always been accurate in my work, and this is what your brother He personally told me. ”

It is much more appropriate for Qiao Shenming to come forward than to go by himself, at least Guan Zhihe has no prejudice against him.

Unconsciously, the teapot on the table had been filled with hot water three times, and he still didn't see Qiao Shenming come back, so he couldn't help but raise his sword to open the door: "Brother Qiao, you're finally back, how is it, is He'er there?"

"Brother He, Guo Zhenxing got up and went to the field today with January's plate, maybe ......"

"Ah, a month? How can this work, no, no, I have to tell Uncle Guan about this. ”

"The old man knows, Xiu'er, don't worry, I don't know He'er's temperament as a father, as for Guo Zhenxing, I don't think he dares to do anything rude to He'er, so you can put your mind and heart into business." ”

He Xiu wanted to say something more, but Qiao Shenming winked at him and hinted that there was no need to say anything more: "Please rest assured, master, I will do my best to assist He Gongzi and jointly put business in the first place." ”

Just talking about business matters, trouble came to the door, and the family told that the craftsmen of Huipenglou were all poached by the Zhou family with a lot of money, and there was no half of Huipenglou at this moment.

"Okay, you Zhou Songli, you have one thing on your face and one thing behind your back, you are really hateful, profiteer!"

"Xiu'er, don't be angry, Steward Qiao, you can find me the person who will do this craft in Qiman Town as quickly as possible, remember, you will go in person. ”

"Uncle Guan, no need, this is not done by the Zhou family, it is Guo Fengxiao who is here to take revenge. ”

"Master, how is this good, even if we offer the highest salary, they don't dare to offend the government. ”

"Yes, the craftsmen of Huipenglou are probably the Zhou family who were threatened and had to take refuge in the Zhou family, and the remaining craftsmen are probably also intimidated in the first place. ”

Guo Fengxiao, who was far away in Qiman Town, received a letterhead from Guo Fengyi, which praised his great achievements.

Guo Fengxiao loved and hated, kneaded the letterhead in his hand, and made up his mind fiercely to make the Guan family pay a certain price so as to wash away the shame on his body.

Old man Zhang walked in at this moment to report, those family members have all mastered their own fonts, and asked Guan Kaihui to go to check, the three of them put down their hearts and walked to the north courtyard, a group of family members have already prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone, sitting on the desk and waiting for their great opportunity to soar into the sky.

Kwan Kai-fai stood in the center and asked them to save red tape and start writing immediately.

He Xiu and Qiao Shenming walked back and forth in two rows to check their skills.

After about a cup of tea, the family put down their thick pens one after another, stood up, and waited for Guan Kaihui's final inspection, he personally selected the top three, and gave different rewards, asking them to carve 10,000 statues in the first month.

There were enough people for this engraving, but the main craftsman was still missing, which made the three of them upset.

He Xiu suddenly saw the old man Zhang who was dreaming, and his eyes lit up for a while: "Uncle Zhang, how many villagers in our village can carve this craft?"

"One hundred and eighty people. ”

"How much?" The three of them asked in unison.

"One hundred and eighty people, what's the matter, don't you believe what my old man Zhang said?"

"Xiu'er, it's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there, haha. ”

"Uncle Zhang, please take our carriage to the village, invite all these people over, and say that Master Guan wants to hire them. ”

Old man Zhang was still in the dark, but when he heard that he could do something for the Guan family, he immediately expressed his strength.

The three of them returned to the visitor hall, He Xiu proposed that the iron shop and the ore vein should be hired and their salaries should be increased, in case Guo Fengxiao secretly made a bad deal in this regard, Qiao Shenming seconded this proposal, and begged Guan Kaihui to give an order immediately, otherwise I am afraid that Guo Fengxiao will be one step ahead.

The good words and advice of the two made Guan Kaihui attach great importance to it, and immediately let the two act separately to stabilize the current situation.

Huipeng Building was empty at the moment, leaving only a pile of half-finished statues, scattered here and there.

After He Xiu came back from the Taoyuan vein, when he saw these scenes, he couldn't help but hate Guo Fengxiao in his heart, and he hated Guo Fengxiao more and more, but when he came back, he used others as a shield, and he didn't allow others to fight back, which was simply impossible.

"Brother He, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I made you laugh last time, and in order to apologize, I came to the door again to beg for mercy. Zhou Songli was cheeky, walked in, and made an invitation with a smile.

"Hehe, where did Brother Zhou say, Brother Zhou acted in the play that day very well, I He Xiu had long wanted to continue watching it, what's the matter? I haven't seen you for many days, has Brother Zhou rehearsed the rest of the play?"

"Haha, Brother He, what are you talking about, I was a little dizzy when I heard it, I did ask Brother He for guilt. ”

"You are guilty, and the crime is not light, it is not a few words, you can pay it off with a table of wine and food, how does Brother Zhou plan to ask for a crime?"

"Hey, let's do it, I'll let those eighty craftsmen come to help Brother He at night, and the salary will be mine, how about it?"

"Well, yes, it's a little sincere, and then what?"

"I also ask Brother He to give me three points of the sale of Sioux City, I promise, only call the door number of the Guan family. ”

A tree lives a skin, a person lives a face, Zhou Songli interprets this sentence very well, and it is not unusual.

The best way to fight back for this kind of person is to let him roll as far as he can.

Zhou Songli gritted his teeth viciously and rushed away.
