The Gao family is the largest fat powder merchant in the Huayu mainland, and eighty percent of the boudoir sold on the market comes from the Gao family firm. However, this woman's business is indeed extremely profitable, but its reputation is extremely despicable. Even Gao Wenjin himself is elegant, modest, and generous; But in the eyes of others, he is just a black-hearted businessman who "eats soft rice".

In other words, it's just a nouveau riche who can't get on the table.

Therefore, the Gao family is not short of silver, what is lacking is only face and status! He doesn't want to be regarded by others as a ninth-rate eater of soft rice forever, he wants to lead the Gao family to sit on the table of Huayu Continent and share a piece of soup with those old-school top business groups.

From a development point of view, it is time for the Gao family to go to the next level.

Gao Wenjin is full of ambitions, but after all, he is also a businessman, and he is also unprofitable. The reason why he will do his best to help the Shen family this time is that in addition to the fact that the customers of the silk village and the rouge shop are similar and there are many business contacts; More importantly, he wants to rely on the relationship of accepting Qingmei as a righteous daughter and climb to Jiankang in one fell swoop.

Shen You is a swinger, unofficial and unpositional, and there is no need to deliberately woo him at all; And Qingmei is just a high-ranking slave, with a humble negative asset, which is also not enough to worry about; However, Shen Ju, the head of the Shen family, is the president of the Nankang Presbyterian Church, and the two elders of the Northern Yan Dynasty, Cai and Wang; Li Deng, the Duke of Qi Yuan in Youbei, is a big man of the same level!

Just by accepting the slave girl Qingmei into naturalization, he can seize this great opportunity, Gao Wenjin is really about to wake up laughing in his dreams! As for what is insulting and ruining the family's reputation, it is not a matter of the Gao family who "eats soft rice" at all, and it needs to be considered.

Gao Wenjin, who was able to step on the step of advancement, was happy, and the people in Gusu City were equally happy! Whether it is a seller of rice or noodles, oil or garlic; All the things used for the big wedding were purchased by the Shen family at a sky-high price that exceeded the market by two percent; This large amount of silver is sprinkled on the street, and the people of Gusu City are also wet with rain and dew, and they will be stained with three points of oil!

Shen Ju and Lu Yun also have a compensatory mentality, wanting to make the marriage between Shen You and Qingmei as decent as possible; However, the people of Gusu are also celebrating together, and the whole city is immersed in a festive and peaceful atmosphere; Shen Gui was the only one, burned by this festive red fire, and the pain was unbearable......

After Shen Gui left the Shen Mansion with Bai Heng's body on his shoulder, he came to a sheltered place in the suburbs and cremated it to ashes. This Heavenly Spirit Vein, who had stood at the peak of Hua Yu for hundreds of years, only left half a jar of ashes after a fire due to the lack of limbs. Shen Gui temporarily stored this urn of white porcelain jars in a small temple outside Gusu City for worship; Immediately, he turned around and returned to Gusu City, and went straight to Suojia's shop.

However, in the dark room of the warehouse, he still couldn't find a single word about Lin Siwei......

Coming out of the vast sea of cases, a round of summer warm sun has been hung in the sky. The top-heavy Shen Gui rubbed his sour and red eyes, and sat casually on the bench of a noodle stall on the street:

"A bowl of big meat noodles, a pot sticker."

"Childe was drunk last night, right? The frying pan has cooled, and the sauce has been sold out, so you will be given a bowl of red noodle soup to make do? ”

"Good ......"

"Also, the frying pan is cold, and the eggs can't be fried, so bear with me..."

"Good ......"

"Okay, right away! At home, a bowl of red noodle soup! ”

Shen Hui was immersed in pain, and he lost the mind to pay attention to eating. He sat on the bench and watched blankly as the carts passed by in front of him, carrying all kinds of goods, and walked in line towards the city......

"Guest officer...... Your face is here! Sprinkle you with a small half handful of green garlic, you use it slowly......"

The inner shopkeeper who is responsible for cooking noodles is very nimble. After a while, the talkative noodle stall owner put a bowl of steaming red noodle soup in front of Shen Gui. Shen Gui took out the chopsticks and held them in his hand, first drank a sip of the red and salty noodle soup, felt the warmth of the soup, and couldn't help but sigh softly:

"Phew...... Well, the meat oil is fresh, and the salt mouth is accurate enough, but unfortunately there is a lack of white pepper......"

"Hey, Childe is an expert! However, we are just a small stall that does regular business, and the main employees are also neighbors in the neighborhood; If you put in white pepper, the price of that noodle will have to go up, and you won't be able to sell a few bowls. Just take care of it......"

"Shopkeeper, the streets of your Gusu City are really prosperous enough! Is it so lively on weekdays? ”

Shen Gui inquired about the news while eating noodles and chatting; And the noodle soup shopkeeper did not doubt him, but he happened to meet a "bosom friend", and he also had the leisure to talk.

"At home, remove the fire from the soup pot, take a breath, let's close the stall and go home......" After instructing his virtuous and capable lady, the owner of this noodle stall sat opposite Shen Gui and completely opened the conversation: Since you sat down just now, I can see that you have a sense of wealth and nobility! Childe came to our Gusu City, is it for a tour of the mountains and rivers, right? Hey, let me say, it's time for you to come, but it's not time! ”

Shen Gui picked up the bowl, took a sip of noodle soup, and asked casually:

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"Although my Cai Kee noodle stall is a small name, it is also an old craft passed down from my grandfather. Tell me how many materials should be prepared every day after the business of the three generations of ancestors is opened, and can I still go wrong? But it's not too late for you to come today, but we sold one cleanly, why do you say that? ”

"The craftsmanship of the inner shopkeeper is ......"

"Hey, that's second! The main reason is that there is a big happy event in the city today, and the chefs of the Shen family are busy buying and cutting matches, and they don't have the time to start a stove for the next people! Tell me, with these dozens of new owners to take care of it, can my business not be prosperous? ”

"Gusu City is happy, and your business is also prosperous, isn't this good? How did you come to me, and it didn't come at the right time? ”

"Of course it's a good thing for us natives; But Childe, you're here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, so it's not the time! Think of our Gusu City, which has always been famous for its quiet and elegant; But the more and more people in this city gather, isn't there nowhere to look for Qingya? So it's not a good thing for a learned person like you! You see, this is just the beginning. The happy event of the Shen Mansion was done in a hurry, and the third prince finally became a parent, I am afraid that in a few days, the sound of gongs and drums will not fall to the ground at all! ”

When it comes to the love between men and women, weddings, funerals, and other common things, men will never know better than women. Next, Shen Gui asked about the twists and turns of the emotional relationship between Shen You and Qingmei in the mouth of the ordinary shopkeeper.

It turns out that his third uncle, Shen You, is going to get married tonight......

Shen Gui looked at the honest couple, moved pots and pans, tables, chairs and benches onto the cart, and after saying goodbye to himself, they set out on the way home together. As soon as they walked out of Shen Gui's sight, a cheerful and rapid sound of gongs and drums sounded in their ears......

For Shen Gui, what an ironic and absurd thing this is! Bai Heng is dead, and he is still extremely wretched; Such a reincarnated master of the gods did not even leave the corpse capital! And Shen You is about to get married, Gusu City is caught in a sea of celebration, and even the noodle stall owner is ready to go to the countryside to pick up his young son and participate in that grand event; With such a tearing and opposing scene, Shen Gui couldn't figure out how to face it.

Putting aside the blood relationship, if Shen You is the second person in Di Ting: then Shen Gui should rely on his peerless martial arts to attack the wedding banquet of the Shen Mansion at night! Just took advantage of Shen You's serious injury and did not recover, he also cut off Di Ting's shoulders and arms, and first recovered part of the interest for Bai Heng, who died unjustly!

But if you count the blood relationship, I'm afraid it will no longer be a simple vendetta and personal grudge......

After separating from the noodle stall shopkeeper, Shen Gui, who was in a mess in his mind, walked on the streets of Gusu City in a trance. The teahouses and liquor shops on the street are all full today, and there is a lively smell of fireworks; Some people are sighing, saying that lovers will eventually become married; Some people are blessing, saying that they can sleep together for thousands of years; Some people are counting the humble background of Qingmei, old age, and Shen You, who is not worthy of a table of talents and wealth; Some people are also saying that Shen You is not a good thing, he is not close to women in his forties, even if he is not a rabbit master, he must be a castration who has not been planted......

Shen Gui listened and listened, and there was a feeling of being separated from the world in his heart; It seems that these people are not the rich gentry and neighbors of Gusu City; It is those brothers of life and death who have died in Huangquan, they are the fourteenth, the Fu Yi, and the thirteenth shamanwei; And the newcomers they are talking about are not Shen You and Qingmei, but themselves and Li Le'an......

Yesterday's events have become a thing of the past, as if they were in another world; Therefore, the old man has turned into a handful of mud and sand, scattered all over the world......

As we walked, the sky gradually darkened; The musical instrument team that resounded throughout Gusu City also blew those festive and cheerful tunes back and forth several times. Shen Gui walked blindly and walked around, and actually came to the backyard of the Shen family's mansion......

I saw that a big red sedan chair carried by eight people had already been parked outside the back door, and several powerful barmen were also hurriedly collecting pai gow; And a thick, slightly older man was looking down and listening to an old mother's lecture:

"Since you have received such a large sum of money, you will have to be energetic for a while! Remember, first go around the main gate of the main house three times, and you have to follow the four walls of Gusu City to praise me for a week! The Gao family who "sells flowers" knows it, right? After boasting about the street, I went to Gao's house to pick up the bride. Also, if you don't give a reward on the door of the Gao family, you must not insist on it and embarrass our Shen family! The eldest lady has explained, as long as you do your best, there will be a reward afterwards! ”

When Shen Gui heard this, he couldn't help but have a thought in his heart......

Let's go to Gao's house first and see my third aunt Qingmei...
