After everyone got the seeds, they all thanked Guan Zhihe for kneeling on the ground again, and He Xiu also stood in place and bowed deeply to her.

Guan Zhihe is the eldest lady of Guan Mansion, and it should be said that she has long been accustomed to this kind of scene, but she looked at the true feelings in the eyes of the villagers, and she was really moved, and she couldn't help but burst into tears, and followed He Xiu away with a contradictory mood.

When he returned, He Xiucai noticed a ten-foot-high wooden statue erected at the entrance of the village, he turned over and dismounted, and came to the back around this statue, only to see a line of palm-sized red characters carved on it: Nanyang State's 'military organization' Minister of First Rank, Xiankang!

"He'er, this is the statue of Lord Xiankang, which was placed here by the villagers, it must be to commemorate his exploits, quick, let's worship together!"

Guan Zhihe led a group of family members to pay homage to He Xiu, He Xiu saw that this statue looked south, that is, the location of the Danhua continent where Nanyang Kingdom was located, Xiankang's eyes were full of energy, his demeanor was tenacious, and his body exuded an emotion of seeing death as home.

On the way back to Qiman Town, He Xiu kept silent, and Guan Zhihe had no choice but to ask, "Brother He Xiu, what are you thinking?"

"Oh, I'm thinking about that statue of Lord Xiankang. ”

He Xiu finally raised his head and said a word, Guan Zhihe nodded and replied, "Yes, Lord Xian didn't care about life and death, and went to the enemy's military camp alone to win happiness for us, and his old man can afford the support of the people!"

"Of course, what I want to say is something related to the statue," He Xiu finished speaking to Guan Zhihe, and then ordered the family to say, "Come, hurry up and invite Steward Qiao, and say that I have 100,000 urgent matters to talk to him." ”

"Brother He Xiu, if you have any matter, can't you tell He'er first, why do you always have to find Steward Qiao at the most critical time, isn't He'er still inferior to him in your heart?"

Guan Zhihe is very incomprehensible, and another contradictory explanation is that she is a little jealous of Qiao Shenming.

"Haha, He'er, you misunderstood, the reason why I want to send someone to find Brother Qiao is because he has a strong ability to do things in his bones, He'er, you can't let me arrange for you to do those things, hehe. ”

"Hmph, think beautifully, I am the eldest lady of the Guan family, how can I let you call it, let's say, what are you and Steward Qiao in a hurry to discuss?"

He Xiu whipped his horse, rushed out of the team, and said to Guan Zhihe behind him, "You catch up with me!"

"Hmph!" Guan Zhihe snorted angrily and chased after the horse.

He Xiu still couldn't bear to leave Guan Zhihe alone, and deliberately slowed down when the horse ran to Qiman Town, and was chased by her.

Along the way, he pulled He Xiu's ears to the visitor hall, and this scene was naturally seen by Qiao Shenming from afar, and he couldn't stop covering his mouth and snickering.

"Hmph, Steward Qiao, I brought it to you, you have to serve Miss Ben well, if you don't take care of it, I'll tell him when Daddy comes back, hum!"

Guan Zhihe ran to the inner hall angrily, and the remaining two looked at each other and laughed; "I said, Brother He, why did you make the eldest lady of the Guan family angry like this? It must have been an appointment with a woman from another family outside, and he was met by He'er, right?"

He Xiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Brother Qiao, I was already used as a laughing stock on the street just now, and now even you are making fun of me." ”

Qiao Shenming laughed and said something sarcastic again, and then gradually turned to the topic: "Okay, okay, let's get down to business, what is the urgency of Brother He that I have to hurry up?"

He Xiu said without reservation, "Brother Qiao, I saw the statue of Lord Xiankang in Qiyu Village this morning, and an idea popped up in my heart for a while, you said that if we use those unburned cypress stumps or root trees to make statues, will it also be an opportunity to make money?"

Qiao Shenming put down the teacup in his hand, lingered in a muffled voice, and said in a half-loud voice, "Brother He means that those tree roots are used to carve a statue of Lord Xiankang and sell it in the market?"

"Yes, I hesitate in my heart, Lord Xiankang is the pillar of the country, if we take the statue of his old man in exchange for silver, will it be too much?"

He Xiu also drank a cup of tea, frowned and said with shame.

"Hmm... This kind of thing has never happened in Nanyang Kingdom, if this thing can really be done, with the reputation of Lord Xiankang in the country, it will definitely be a lot of money...... By the way, you can just ask the master about this matter, he is now by the side of the first adult, and he can ask in person. ”

Qiao Shenming suddenly paused and said the idea that came to his mind.

"Well, this matter is too big, let's report this matter to Uncle Guan by letter, and let his old man decide. ”

Subsequently, He Xiu asked some more about the Chang family's miners, and was told by Qiao Shenming that they were all honest at present, they had not found anything suspicious, and they were working very hard, and they were still talking about the Chang family's mistakes on the way to work.

He Xiu patiently explained to him that he didn't want to accept those mine servants in his heart, but in front of the public, if he refused, he would definitely cause dissatisfaction among his own mine servants, thinking that he was discriminating against them.

In order to not make any mistakes again, He Xiu came this month, worked hard, tried his best to meet any changes without losing his interests, and hoped in his heart that the Zhou Chang family would never have another incident.

"Report, Chang Jiachang Gongzi is visiting!"

"I didn't look forward to coming to the Zhou family, the Chang family came first, Brother Qiao, you and I will meet this son-in-law together!"

He Xiu stood up majestically and sat on the upper seat, Qiao Shenming naturally stood behind him, and said unhurriedly, "Pass him in." ”

"Congratulations to Brother He, congratulations to Brother He, I didn't expect Brother He to open an iron ore mine opposite my Chang's house in just thirty days, it's really amazing, amazing. ”

Chang An walked in the courtyard and said goodbye, followed by Hong Ji, who was dressed enchantingly, "Yo, this son hasn't seen you for a few days, and you are becoming more and more pleasing again, hehe." ”

As soon as He Xiu heard her bewitching and delicate voice, he couldn't stop getting goosebumps, so he hurriedly looked at Chang An; "Haha, Chang Gongzi laughed, my Guan family has to worship you in terms of mining iron." ”

"Haha, Brother He is too modest, the business of the Zhou family has been broken by you one after another, Brother He, I am here to ask you for advice. ”

Chang An sat on the bench unceremoniously, crossed his legs, picked up a pot of tea, sucked the spout directly with his mouth, and said Kankan.

"Isn't it, people have only been missing since the last time they saw their son, and today while my son-in-law is humbly asking for advice, they will follow, hehe. ”

Hong Ji twisted her plump waist, her eyes flashed towards He Xiu's unrelenting temptation, Orchid nodded her nose, and said leisurely.

He Xiu just glanced at Hong Ji, and then didn't dare to answer, but replied to Chang An, "Chang Gongzi, don't joke with He Xiu, you got a big bargain from me last time, and you won't want to sell grain again this time, right?"

"Oh, He Gongzi, you don't even look at others, isn't their makeup as charming as last time? ”

Hong Ji twisted her body wantonly, walked to He Xiu with broken steps, and said that she was going to sit on his lap;

He Xiu hurriedly turned his head, dodged his legs to the side, and waved his hand again and again.

"Oh, He Gongzi, you almost knocked people down again, hate, hum. ”

Hong Ji pretended to hold the table with her hands, her body gently stayed in place, and she whispered.

Qiao Shenming walked in from Hong Ji, and his eyes did not change in the slightest until now, he just looked at the two of them directly, his face was firm and calm.

Chang An tapped the teapot with one finger, shook his legs, and said with a wicked smile, "Brother He, look at what you said, I also make a little money, compared to your Guan family, of course, in addition to wanting to ask Brother He for advice, I also want to discuss with you with one thing." ”

"Oh, Chang Gongzi, don't you have a more profitable deal? Come on with me. ”

He Xiu smiled deeply, stretched out a hand, and said invitedly.

Chang An seemed to pinch his throat, and said sentence by sentence; "Haha, don't dare, our family's vein is about to dry up, and my father has found a good land boundary, but the government's approval has been delayed and refused. ”

Hong Ji's fleshy tongue licked her upper lip demonically, swayed her body, and then spit out a faint fragrant breath towards He Xiu.

He Xiu smelled this faint fragrance, quickly came back to his senses, controlled his heart, and replied, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, how many silver taels does Chang Gongzi want to use to buy shares?"

"Haha," Chang An stretched out his finger that had just knocked on the teapot; "10,000 taels of silver ingots, I don't know how many strands of Brother He can be bought?"

"Steward Qiao, let's get to the bottom with Chang Gongzi. ”

He Xiu stood up and sat opposite Chang An, dodging Hong Ji's temptation, and made contact with Qiao Shenming's eyes, and said slowly.

"Back to Chang Gongzi, my Taoyuan vein took a month and invested 10,000 taels to build. ”

Qiao Shenming bowed his hand, his attitude was sincere, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, concise and clear, he only said one sentence, and then returned to the position just now.

"Ten thousand taels? haha, Brother He, then wouldn't I become the head of the Taoyuan vein, no, no, really can't. ”

Chang An replaced his other leg, re-picked up Erlang's leg, and said with a laugh.

"Hahahaha, it would be great that the Taoyuan vein could add luster to Chang Gongzi's hands, but you may not have understood what Steward Qiao said just now. ”

He Xiu patted the placket of his clothes in a chic manner, pulled out a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly.

"Oh, is it? Brother He is laughing with me Chang An again, hahahaha. ”

Chang An glanced at Hong Ji, then laughed and said.

"Chang Gongzi, blame me for my gaffe just now, I just said 10,000 taels of gold. ”

"Yo, this golden gold, just thrown into the pit, what a pity, if people can have 10,000 taels of gold, how happy it would be. ”

Hong Ji twisted her body, took a handful of steps, leaned her elbow on He Xiu's shoulder, and said in a trembling voice.

"Haha, isn't it? That's too unfortunate, I just add one person to raise a whole ten thousand taels of gold. ”

He Xiu stood up and flashed Hong Ji firmly onto the bench, "Yo, He Gongzi, you hurt someone's fall." ”

"If you dare to touch a single hair of Mr. Sha, I will make your whole family disappear into the world in an instant!"

He Xiu ignored Hong Ji, but gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and squeaked, and said fiercely.
