On the other hand, the contract between Zhao Xiaoxi and Gu Xiangting was almost done after her overnight struggle. According to the agreement, Zhao Xiaoxi took Xiao Jingrui to the temple together.

This temple was repaired at her expense, and the golden body of the Big Buddha also relied on Zhao Xiaoxi's kindness to be repaired.

Therefore, the abbot of the temple was 100% polite to Zhao Xiaoxi, even if he borrowed land to discuss business, he also asked people to prepare tea and send it to the wing.

What was a little unexpected to Zhao Xiaoxi was that it was not Gu Xiangting who signed the contract with her, but the old lady of the Gu family who knew at a glance that it was not simple.

He looked at Zhao Xiaoxi, still smiling lovingly. It's just that there seems to be something else in that smile.

In the end, Zhao Xiaoxi only dared to think about it, and didn't dare to ask more.

"Little lady Zhao is an open person, and she is willing to talk about everything on the bright side." After reading the few pages of the contract, Old Lady Gu did not hide his admiration for Zhao Xiaoxi at all, and couldn't help nodding his head in praise: "I have never seen such a thing in my old man's life." In the end, he is a new person, and he does things beautifully. ”

"Thank you for the old lady's praise, if this contract is okay, we can sign it." Zhao Xiaoxi studied the ink, and was just about to sign, but was stopped by the old lady Gu, Zhao Xiaoxi was a little confused, and his heart was pounding, for fear that he would suddenly regret it at this juncture: "Old lady, who are you?" ”

"There's no problem on our side, it's just that Zhao Xiaoniang has to think about it herself! We are people from the rivers and lakes, not great court officials, you have to think about the stakes here! Old lady Gu also has 100% concern for Zhao Xiaoxi, for fear that she is too young and does not want to act clearly and clearly, and she will regret it when the time comes.

Originally, Zhao Xiaoxi was a little pimple in his heart, and when he said this, that scruple was like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

After a long time, Zhao Xiaoxi made up his mind and solemnly signed his name on it: "Old lady, although I am not very smart, I am not stupid. Whether this other person is good or bad, I also have a bit of a spectrum in my heart. Listening to Gu Daguan, your Gu family is also somewhat famous in the rivers and lakes. Such a family, why bother me with a little village woman? ”

"You have an idea, it's good that our Gu family has a big business, but there are many opponents." Old lady Gu didn't hide it, and simply said it all in one go: "This pair of families is different from your business opponents. Most of them are the kind of people who desperately want our lives, and now that you cooperate with us, they will find all kinds of ways to find out about you as a person. I'm afraid you're going to be in a lot of danger when the time comes. ”

Forehead! Zhao Xiaoxi looked at him with a confused expression.

glanced at the words of Zhao Xiaoxi on the bottom line again, and she regretted it for a long time. Thinking about it, this old lady is really slow to speak, and if she said it earlier, she had to think twice for the safety of the family, right? But this is a good time, and there is no room for regret.

"What? Zhao Xiaoniang, is this scared? "Old lady Gu knows countless people, how can she not know the little Jiujiu in Zhao Xiaoxi's heart now. He smiled in a low voice, but he was very polite: "We take care of our family and do things, and we have always had one thing to say and two things to say, and we are unwilling to hide it." There is another thing, although the rivers and lakes and the imperial court have always said that the well water does not interfere with the river water, but sometimes, there will always be trouble. Between our Gu family and the imperial court, there is also a bit of a festival. If Zhao Xiaoniang really wants to cooperate with our Gu Jiahaohao, the cooperative relationship between us should be more secret. ”

"Okay." Zhao Xiaoxi agreed categorically, she was afraid that this matter would lead to some kind of murder if it was made public.

The two parties talked about the future business for a while, and according to the contract, the directors of the rookie post stations currently set up in the northern region of the Great Xia Dynasty are all arranged by the Gu family to go to the right people.

But in terms of management, those people must completely obey Zhao Xiaoxi's arrangement. In the northern part of the Great Xia Dynasty, there were twenty-eight towns, each of which had seven or eight villages.

If they all build a rookie station, not to mention what to do in terms of manpower, Zhao Xiaoxi can't take out the silver taels just to build a board house

。 Fortunately, the northern part of the Great Xia Dynasty is basically a territory that the Xiao family can control, and it is not difficult to build a few board houses and manage the express delivery of a region.

For better management, Zhao Xiaoxi does not want to develop so far at one time.

She pondered for a long time, and looked at Old Lady Gu: "Old lady, there are so many towns and villages in the back of the Great Xia Dynasty, if you do all the rookie express delivery, I'm afraid the risk is too great." Why don't we take our time? It's always better to spread it slowly. Moreover, if I build so many at once, I can't turn over the silver taels I have on hand. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's a cooperation, we have to show some sincerity, right? The so-called board house of the rookie post station can't cost a few dollars. Our Gu family will do everything in our power, and as for the people who deliver the courier in the dart bureau, there is only one mausoleum dart bureau in the town, which is probably not enough. I have a few pretty good dart games under my hands, if Zhao Xiaoniang can trust them, I can use them. "What Old Lady Gu said is called a leader, and he quickly figured out Zhao Xiaoxi's business doorway.

In addition to feeling in my heart that this little mother-in-law's head is bright, I also want to treat this cooperation as a serious business.

It is not easy to maintain a family business, and if you can have a way to make money, Mrs. Gu will not let it go.

The original intention was to repay Zhao Xiaoxi for saving his life to Gu Xiangting, who would have thought that the benefits marked out in the contract written by Zhao Xiaoxi were also very attractive.

It would not be a bad thing if we could continue to cooperate for a long time in the future.

The more the two of them talked, the happier they became, and Zhao Xiaoxi could already imagine the grand occasion of their hope cards in the future.

She was going to go back and prepare a list of goods to be delivered to the customers' homes along with the courier. When the time comes, she will pass on one by one, and she will not worry about having no business to do.

Although this is far less convenient than Taobao A, in this kind of ancient times when cars and horses were very slow, many things could only be done like this. In a hurry, Zhao Xiaoxi thought about all the optimization plans, and this slow radiation mode is the best.

After a few people finished talking about business, they had a fast meal in the temple, and when they returned, it was already evening. There are many people coming and going on the road, gossiping. Zhao Xiaoxi didn't plan to listen to it, but when she heard them say something like "collaborating with the enemy and treason", she paid attention.

It's just that the more I listen to it, the more weird it becomes, and some people say businessmen and the like. is also related to cooperation in business, Zhao Xiaoxi was already weak-hearted, and at this time, the protagonist of their conversation was perfectly substituted into himself.

Is it really that unlucky?

Just signed a contract, and someone found out?

Zhao Xiaoxi trembled and couldn't stop talking, and when she heard them say that the official family had arrived at the businessman's house, she panicked even more. The people who talked were all from other villages, Zhao Xiaoxi was panicked, and he didn't dare to come forward to ask, and he didn't dare to go home at this time. pulled Xiao Jingrui to flash to the back of the old dilapidated house halfway through.

"Lady, aren't we going home?" Xiao Jingrui smiled dotingly, and she knew very well what she was afraid of: "What they said just now may have nothing to do with us!" ”

The ghost knows if it has anything to do with it, Zhao Xiaoxi only knows that he has become a coward now.

No matter how powerful she is, she doesn't dare to provoke the officials, right? Think about the old lady of the Gu family, who looks so noble, will he really persecute others?

Zhao Xiaoxi couldn't figure it out in his heart, his eyes were red, he tilted his head, and glanced around casually.

This house should be a bit old, and it's old everywhere.

Under the corner of the eaves there is an old swallow's nest, which looks gray and fluttering at this time, and there are no swallows in it.

The two of them huddled together under the cramped eaves, getting so close that they could even hear each other's breathing. Xiao Jingrui was next to the fence on the side, and there was a blade of gray grass of the creeper that had not yet budded.

These vines are also old things and look desolate. You can faintly see a drop of new green, and you are probably ready to sprout.

That kind of tender goose yellow added a lot of courage to Zhao Xiaoxi in disguise.

She pulled Xiao Jingrui's clothes, and her eyes brightened up a lot: "If I go to prison, you have to take good care of our son." You're not that stupid now, don't be bullied by others if I'm not there! If someone beats you, you have to pay it back, understand? Come on, let's go back! It's not good to let the people in the yamen wait for us. ”

"The toons in the back mountains have sprouted." A few toon trees in the back mountain, this time it is dark and green, Zhao Xiaoxi also discussed with Sister-in-law Fu a few days ago, whether to pick some together and eat fried rice. If the time is delayed any longer, until the toon leaves turn black and covered with dust, the water will be useless no matter how many times it has passed. At that time, I didn't feel sad, but hearing Xiao Jingrui howl like this at this time, Zhao Xiaoxi always felt that he was really unsatisfactory and miserable.

"Sprout and sprout, maybe I won't be able to eat it. Come on, can we hide for the rest of our lives? Anyway, the sky is falling, and I'm in my way, don't be afraid. ”

In fact, Xiao Jingrui is very calm, he has even thought about if there is really an official family coming, he has also prepared a trick to deal with the enemy. It's just that Zhao Xiaoxi is rare and weak at this time, and he still wants to see more, so he is very mischievous and doesn't say anything.

After a long time, Zhao Xiaoxi slowly pulled Xiao Jingrui back.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw a group of people standing outside. It's just that it's dark, and it's quite far away, and Zhao Xiaoxi can't tell whether the other party is friend or foe for a while.

"Brother Rui, take a look, who is in front of you?"

"Probably the village chief, right?" Xiao Jingrui touched Zhao Xiaoxi's soft law, and his tone was also gentle: "Let me go over and have a look first?" ”
