"Now that time is rising, how about I take you to a fun place?" Li Mu invited.

"Okay," Zhou Xiya nodded.

The two came to a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, Zhuangzi looked like an ordinary farm from the outside, but inside it was not a cave, there was a big factory in the middle of the Zhuangzi, and someone was holding the handle outside.

"Here?" Zhou Xiya was curious, she grew up with her father, she had seen countless soldiers, the guards here were obviously people who came down from the battlefield, what kind of thing actually found soldiers to guard, she was very curious.

"You'll find out when you go inside." Li Mu took out a token, and the doorman opened the door, only to see a lot of people in the room, and many craftsmen were rubbing something.

"It's green...... I'm ...... green," one craftsman shouted excitedly.

"I'll take a look, I'll take a look......" A group of craftsmen surrounded him, "Yes, yes, this is what the boss said about the ice species, it's really beautiful, quick, continue to rub it out......"

Zhou Xiya walked over curiously, and saw what the craftsman was rubbing in her hands, she thought it was jade at first sight, she also had a jade shop, so she knew a lot, but after a closer look, she found that this material was obviously different from jade, more brittle and brighter than jade, and the color was more gorgeous, especially this green, green is so pleasing.

"What is this?" Zhou Xiya turned around and asked Li Mu.

"This is one of the jadeite, this kind of jade circulates in small quantities in Dali, and it is not widely known, it is called jadeite over there, its color is very gorgeous, and the color is not single, it is very beautiful to make jewelry, this is not. I plan to expand the sales of this jewelry, increase its popularity, and let this beautiful jade come into everyone's sight. Li Mu picked up a jade stone and gently stroked the jade that had been thrown.

Since he likes Zhou Xiya, then let Zhou Xiya slowly understand everything he does, in this life, he will not put his wife at home again, but to take it with him to cultivate, people have to do things to have spirit, being a canary in a cage will drive a person crazy.

And he did the research. Zhou Xiya also manages a number of stores. Have some experience.

"But now the mainstream on the market is still jade, plus some gemstones of various colors, it is not easy to bring a small and niche new jade to the market." Zhou Xiya frowned. She didn't just think about what Li Mu said. and Li Mu's identity. Isn't Li Mu just hanging a fictitious position in the Ministry of Rites now? Why are you still in business, and you have such a big factory, and there are so many craftsmen in it. This is not a small business, not to mention the mountains of stones in the corner, which are all bought jade seeds.

Li Mu's eyes lit up, Zhou Xiya was really good, and she could see the key to the problem at a glance.

"Let's go to the office and say, this is not the place to talk." Li Muyi pointed to the office inside.

After sitting down, someone brought tea and snacks and retreated.

"I know it's not easy for everyone to accept jadeite, but it's artificial, everything needs to be guided, let's put it this way, the jewelry worn by the palace lady is the object that everyone is vying to imitate, wearing the same jade as the girls, these ladies will be proud, this is part of the market, high-end jadeite is to be sold to these people, and there is a group of young girls, as long as the young girls like the object says that the jade is good, then they will compete to buy, such as Zhou Hua, the idol will be very effective, and the bright color of jadeite will definitely be sought after by the little girls, the third, it is to rely on people's gambling nature, there is a way is that the gods are difficult to break the inch jade, you must know that the jadeite is made from the stone, people's eyes only look at the appearance, it is difficult to see whether there is jadeite inside, if I get a gambling stone point in the most prosperous street in the capital, as long as the gambling jadeite, I will buy it at a high price, you say it will not cause a big sensation, and at the same time cooperate with my propaganda of jadeite, want people not to know what this jadeite is, then it is really strange. Li Mu briefly talked about his plan, he has been in business for so many years, if he doesn't get it right, it will be a fool, he knows the role of advertising better than the ancients.

Zhou Xiya looked Li Mu up and down.

"What are you looking at?" Li Mu looked at his clothes, there was nothing wrong.

"I'm watching, you're still not the excellent general that my second brother said, how can I look at you not like a general, but a complete businessman." Zhou Xiya said her feelings bluntly.

"Hehe... Why, do you think that I was impersonated by someone, and it was my dream when I was young to be called a soldier, so I joined the army and trained in the army for a few years, and doing business is my hobby and my future career. Li Mu didn't hide anything.

"Fortunately, I also like to do business, otherwise I really wouldn't like your copper-smelling body." Zhou Xiya joked.

"It's late, get on my thief ship, don't think about coming down, how about it, let's work together to bring the jade to the market, and let it serve as our witness." Li Mu didn't know where to take out a jade bracelet, put it on Zhou Xiya's hand, looked at her seriously and said.

"Good" Zhou Xiya gently touched this bracelet, is it a testimony of love? It's also very rewarding to do something with someone you like.

The two discussed for an afternoon, and Li Mucai sent Zhou Xiya home.

"Boss, did you really decide to give half of the profits of this jade to the Zhou family?" On the way home, the guards beside Li Mu asked. The boss is the most profitable, as long as he gets out of the industry, there is no loss of money, which is a big profit, this jade business, they have been running for a long time, go to Dali, go to Yongchang Mansion (Myanmar), after all, only Dali's Yongchang Mansion produces high-water jadeite, and then transport it back, they spent so much manpower and logistics, the boss actually gave the Zhou family so much, this is not his attitude to find a partner before.

"She is my future wife, what can't be given to her, and this time the Zhou family needs help, I will share my own profits with her, it doesn't matter, I have enough money, making money is just a pleasure for me." Li Mu didn't care about talking about jadeite. He had already distributed the interests of all parties, otherwise how could he let the queen use their jade, naturally someone helped him, he just gave his share to Zhou Xiya.

Zhou Xiya will be his wife in the future, General Zhou only has two daughters, and everything in the future will be Zhou Xiya's, so he has nothing to worry about.

The guards don't say anything anymore, as long as the boss is happy.

Walking into the Li Mansion, the little maid in the mansion stopped Li Mu, "Young Master, the lord and the lady have been waiting for a long time." Please go to the front room to meet them as soon as you get back. ”

"Got it," Li Mu was a little impatient.

Li Mu is very tired of this cheap parent. originally occupied the body of other people's sons, he was still a little guilty, and he wanted to treat them well, but unfortunately they were restless and always looking for trouble. Naturally, he will not give them sincerity. And this lady is still his stepmother. It has nothing to do with him, if it weren't for the ancient filial piety greater than the sky, the old man didn't know what to think. Just don't let him out of the house, he would have moved out a long time ago.

When they arrived at the main hall, Li Mu's father, Li Huai, was sitting on the warm kang, and his wife Du Shi was sitting on the other side, and there was a small kang table between the two.

"I've seen my father, my mother," Li Mu saluted.

"Where are you going, coming back so late, not being home all day, is this still your home? This is almost an inn, you talk about you, there is no serious errand, I finally arranged an errand for you in the Ministry of Rites, you are not good at it, you want to be angry with me. Li Huai slammed his hand on the table.

"Master, don't be angry, it's not good to get angry, just educate your children slowly." Du Shi soothed with a gentle smile.

turned his head but didn't have a good face at Li Mu, "Li Mu, what's the matter with you, look at your father, your father said that you are not for your good, you said that you are such a big child, if it were someone else, you would have already supported the door of the family, but look at you, and now let your father work so hard, is it easy for your father to be outside, you have to face the intrigue in the yamen, and you have to take care of you when you come back, you can't understand something." ”

Li Mu just stood like this, silent, he knew that the more he said, the more excited Du Shi became, and she could hold on to a wrong word.

"Look at your dead man's appearance, who are you throwing your face to, why, your mother can't say anything." Li Huai slapped the table, Li Mu was angry when he spoke, Li Mu didn't speak, he was still angry, he felt that this son was born to restrain him.

"Okay, master, don't be angry, it's not worth it if you're angry." The corners of Du's mouth curled, she just wanted to provoke discord between their father and son, so that her son could inherit the family business. She would not let Li Mu leave the Li Mansion easily, if Li Mu left the mansion, it would be out of her control.

Now she controls the money in the house, and gives Li Mu a pitiful monthly money, not even enough for general entertainment, see how he makes friends, she has abolished this Li family, and others can't say anything, her stepmother is interesting enough, Li Mu's errand was arranged by her master, and it will be okay for him to marry a woman with a small portal in the future, and there will be no big deal in this life.

It's a pity, if it weren't for her cousin calling her over today, she wouldn't know that this kid actually hooked up with the general's daughter, and he really has a long ability, what kind of family is the general, which the Li family can climb, besides, the cousin's son Dugu Jin is begging for General Zhou's daughter in front of the emperor, Li Mu is something, not even a finger of Jin'er can compare.

Du Shi gave Li Huai a look.

Li Huai remembered the purpose of calling Li Mulai, but he was angry with this kid.

"Let me ask you, do you know the daughter of General Shangshu Zhou's family in the military department, and have a relationship with her?" Li Huai asked.

The Zhou family's family is very high, and it is very good if he can climb this family business, but Li Mu is not the son he likes, if there is such a Yue family, it will be even more disobedient to his discipline, and there is a Dugu Jin in the middle, which is even more offensive, so it is better not to have this family business, alas, it would be good if the younger son was older, and it would be good to let the younger son marry the Zhou family. If it was for the sake of his youngest son, he would be willing to fight with Dugu Jin, but if it was for Li Mu, then forget it.

Li Mu raised his head suddenly, his eyes sharp at his titular parents in front of him.

"Tell me, isn't it, what are you looking at us like that?" Li Huai has a row of tables.

"Yes" Li Mu spoke, but he stared at Du Shi, looking at the smug look on the woman's face, Li Mu was wondering how she knew.

"Nonsense, you don't look at what your identity is, the eldest lady of the Zhou family is what you can think about, that is the daughter of the general, what is your identity, but a small official of the Ministry of Rites, how can you be worthy of Miss Zhou's family, don't make people laugh out of their big teeth when you say it, hurry up, leave Miss Zhou's family, so as not to delay the reputation of others." Li Huai pointed at Li Mu angrily, very angry.

"Hehe... Are you satisfied? Li Mu didn't say anything else, but looked like Du Shi.

"I didn't say anything, but what your father said also makes sense, the Zhou family is a big family, how can you marry someone else's young lady, I don't know what method you used to make people fall in love with you, but you also have to be self-aware, so as not to cause trouble again because of this matter, you represent not you alone, but the Li family, Miss Zhou has a lot of people to worry about, which is what our family can resist, don't affect the family at that time." Du Shi looked like he was all thinking about his family, and persuaded him bitterly.

"Yes, don't bother me because of you little bastard, look at the things you did, secretly went to join the army behind my back, and came back all day without doing a proper job and not at home, and now you have caused me such a big trouble, you are still not my son, how did I raise such a bastard of you." Li Huai heard that there were many people worried about the girl of the Zhou family, and he was even more angry, he was very concerned about his current position, although he was just a waiter in the ministry, but he had been boiled up for so many years, Mrs. said, if he could stop Li Mu, then he would be able to go one step further at the beginning of next year, Madame's maiden family has something to do with the Dugu family, what kind of family is the Dugu family, it is the queen's maiden family, in the past, such relatives wanted to move around, people ignored it, and now it is difficult to let him help do something, and he will do it anyway.

"Did you treat me like a son? Since you don't like me like this, then separate me, or break off the father-son relationship with me, I don't care, whatever you want, but Zhou Xiya I am married, and no one can stop me. Li Mu looked at the two firmly, he was too lazy to pay attention to these two people before, since these two people didn't know how to lift, then don't blame him for being polite.

"Look at him...... Look at him, what are you talking about, cut off relations with me, want to cut off relations with me, you can go to the Zhou family to plug the door upside down, go hug your father-in-law's thighs, no way, I will see that you have no identity as the son of the Li family, what can the Zhou family like about you, your errand is what I found for you, I can find it for you, and I can also destroy it for you. Li Huai gasped for breath. (To be continued......)
