Suddenly a large canopy of flower petals and silk ribbons fell on my head, and they fell all over my body

"Welcome home ......"

With the roar of Qi Qi, the originally cold embankment wharf suddenly became full of people, and I don't know from which corner, many people suddenly appeared, holding various utensils,

At the back of the crowd, there was also a music class playing and singing vigorously, and the banner with my official identity and ministry written on it was also held high, although there was a bit of a swollen face and the smell of a fat man, and it looked quite noisy and lively.

The smiling head squatting envy is like an arrow from the string, when the skirt swayed first, and the fluttering flutter flew into my arms, and I couldn't help but reach out to catch it. Because the little girl who washed and washed was like a koala, full of affection hanging on me.

It wasn't until a few coughs came from behind me that I was a little reluctant to let go of this bird's bite posture, and then put a carefully woven wreath around my neck, but held my hand tightly.

Sister Yue, the leader of the servants, used a grapefruit branch with leaves, dipped it in water with fragrance, and gently whipped me a few times, and there were words in her mouth, which was nothing more than to go to evil spirits, cowardice or something.

made me cry and laugh a little, Lao Tzu didn't just come out, or escaped death or something, but they kept saying that they had been on the battlefield and had a fierce atmosphere, and they were afraid that they would hinder Yunyun if they collided, so I had to go with her and ask for peace of mind.

Only then did a group of people gather up, holding a silver basin filled with mint water and a glass cup soaked in Huoxiang Baikou, rinsing my face one by one, hanging a cage in the shape of a gilt and silver ball, and smoking several circles of dipterocarp beside me.

Finally, I was anointed with dogwood, whale oil, and mast flower on my forehead and bun, and then the ritual of washing away the fatigue of the journey and the dust was completed, and I walked back in a circle.

The enigmatic creature with a parasol as usual, a floral pleated skirt with Su Zi bud edges, ribbon knotted hair, arms around the chest, slightly tilted face and squinted eyes, looking at the various childlike postures hanging on me, and I was concocted by various means.

Can't help but have a smile on the corner of her mouth, standing in the middle of the front of the crowd, but it is very natural that no one dares to compare with her, her petite body is surrounded by a group of adults, and she looks full of aura, obviously during the time I am not at home, she has been further recognized and respected, and the people around her take it for granted.

This kind of thing, if it is put on someone else, or there is a worry and hidden danger of being seized of power or the risk of being hollowed out, and the power struggle and intrigue of the birds occupying the dove's nest among the powerful clans are actually not uncommon.

But we are the only exception, because we are the only two partners in this troubled world who share a common language and interests, and come from the background and experience of time and space, and we are also irreplaceable and indispensable to each other in the long and distant road of life in the future.

Despite this, some people close to me, including Cai Liao, a very heartfelt old minister, have hinted at me more than once whether I should have reservations and other concerns about the unconditional trust and empowerment of the enigmatic creature. And then because of my persistence, and the enigmatic creatures that came out with distinctive qualities and proofs, then they quickly went to the other extreme,

For example, it becomes an admiration for my extraordinary popularity, or a kind of heartfelt admiration for my way of treating people and doing things, and to put it mildly, with trust and support, a future virtuous helper from a famous family with a superior family background is so trapped. made the other party just post it upside down without a name and no points, and played the role of part of the hostess. Then there is the channeling of all kinds of raw rice cooked and matured, which makes me laugh, but I have no choice but to explain and argue.

But there are some things, the two of us seem to have tacitly understood it, I look into the eyes of the enigmatic creature, she also looks at me, many things are contained in it, but it is all in the words.

And the stupid Luo Ameng, who likes to play with flying knives, is also dressed in a gauze skirt, tied with a simple double ponytail with a silk ribbon, and follows her like a shadow, but she never leaves her all day long, and the knife that is always playing in her hand has become a delicate snack bag, bulging like a hamster, and her squirming cheeks have somewhat destroyed her indifferent expression, which looks like a cute rodent contrast.

It is only in the corner of the eye that occasionally looks at the crowd that one feels something sharp and dangerous. Because she usually looks at people for the first time, she is used to not looking at the other person's face and expression, but staring at the Adam's apple and under the neck, etc., as if she is looking for the key point that seems to be more suitable for the knife, which makes people a little creepy.

Like Zheng Zhou, my family's exclusive special agent, the trafficker who claims to be well-informed, has fallen into a psychological shadow because of this, and every time he sees her, it is like a cat meeting a mouse, which makes people wonder if he actually has a system of m.

It's just that in the crowd, I didn't see the glasses lady Cui Wanting, which made me feel a little regretful and insufficient.

After getting into the carriage hand in hand, I squatted down the curtain and sat down behind me.

"It's a break-and-roll"

As soon as the enigmatic creature met, he threw me an object.

"Thanks to the special properties you sent back......"

"The balance of profits is five hundred and sixty thousand three thousand seven hundred and forty-one, and the other three hundred and fifty-nine dollars ......"

I took a cursory look at the numbers and couldn't help but be surprised,

"There are so many,"

It seems that the saying "when the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels" is that the ancients did not deceive me, and war is indeed the easiest business in the world to make money, I shook my head a little proudly.

"If it weren't for your whims, there would be additional initiatives and projects......"

The enigmatic creature pouted

"We can do at least 900,000 ......"

"Of course, this is not counting the Borneo Guild Hall, the dividends that have not yet been paid, and the regular sharing in the future......"

She snapped her fingers and counted them at me

"Their security deposit, in total, is two or three hundred thousand ......."

"In addition, these days, didn't you send tens of thousands of young ...... to Jilong Mountain?"

"Just because the identity of Yizhou people came forward to buy them from the front of the battle, and then sent them to the place by boat, it is also a big expense."

"The cost of running a boat in the abnormal wind season will increase the number to double the cost of the ......"

"Not counting the rations and tools needed for resettlement, the daily construction and maintenance, the future management, and the cost of training......

"What's more, you also require a certain proportion of people who know how to craft and can read...... These heads are not cheap at all."

"If you buy too much, those people will inevitably take the opportunity to sit on the ground with us......"

I listened to her complaints and hangings with a smile, but there was a trickle of peace of mind and a sense of accomplishment.

Although it is a matter of time to start a war, the results are also obvious, and it is almost possible to recover the principal with interest through the channels for the sale and distribution of the loot through guò looting places and meddling in the distribution channels of the spoils of war, of course, there is also a little bit of luck and coincidence, I think.

"Those things you secretly asked someone to bring back,"

She continued

"In addition to coins, there are only some jewels of inconspicuous shape, and the objects can be discounted,"

"However, most of these things have the imprint of the internal government, and they have to be re-polished and reshaped before they can be released......

"Other calligraphy, painting, antiques and other things can't be turned into cash for a while...... Otherwise, there will be more on the accounts."

"These things need to be identified and appraised by someone, and then find the right channel, spend a lot of money, hire someone to create a suitable background and source, and then spend money on the ancients to build momentum, so that they can become circulating funds

"The whole process is not fast"

"If you take the liberty of getting out of the house, you will get into big trouble and unnecessary attention ......"

The short journey is over, and the newly painted gate is in front of you, and there is a voice in unison inside and outside the door

"Greetings to the triumphant ...... of the head of the family"

"Jin'an Wanfu ......"

"Then again, thanks to someone who is good at business and has a way...... When you monetize these things, you don't lose much value. ”

The mysterious creature that slowly jumped out of the carriage with the hem of its skirt lifted it suddenly turned to me

"Who...... Are our new talents?"

Confused, I stepped through the main entrance surrounded by shade.

"Is the old lady the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong......

Suddenly, she pushed a figure standing on the side towards me.

"Let's think about how to reward this ......."

I poured her into my arms and whispered into my ear

"It's hard for you......"

Her stiff body, as if under some spell, slowly relaxed, leaning limply against the crook of my arm.

Dinner was a lively feast in the courtyard, and twenty or thirty kinds of dishes were prepared alone, which was a good treat for the stomach that was tortured during the march, and also accompanied a few girls to have a very casual time.

And then

I sat in the lighted study and began to read a stack of specially revised briefings, which were excerpts from the official and private documents of various Cantonese families and the summaries of the mansions during my absence, which helped me to understand and grasp current affairs as much as possible.

With the help and return of Murong Wu, the official from Wu Desi, Bo Fu's subordinates also developed very quickly in the market, mastering some of the trades at the bottom of the society.

The so-called foot delivery agency is somewhat similar to the courier delivery and receiving personnel of later generations, which is a commonplace low-level occupation in a metropolis like Guangfu, as large as the designated food and drink, and as small as relying on passing messages and small items to people, earning a little hard-earned money for running errands, after all, it is not a slave that everyone raises, or it is not a thing, and they can use the tribal slaves and maids to run all the way.

So these little bee-like footmen came into being, and they took on the work by walking around the large and small communities in the city, and then endured their many exploits, because if there were no such people who sat down and opened shops, and the middle was the guarantor, not many people would have to run errands lightly and hand it over to someone who did not know the roots.

In the hands of my family, of course, I didn't expect to rely on the exploitation of their income, so the money received not only fed back, but also in the food and accommodation and other treatment, to give corresponding subsidies, and suddenly gathered many experienced veterans in this industry to defect.

However, capital itself is full of dirty and unscrupulous things, as the price of entering the industry, Bo Fu's subordinates, and those whose interests have been damaged, have done a few games in private, beating the other party and retreating, leading out the backers behind to mediate, weighing the interests, and taking over the other party's industry and manpower at a discount, before re-establishing the current situation and market.

However, what I actually value more is the convenience of their walking around the streets, the reasonable status of entering private houses, and the channels for collecting and probing corresponding news and rumors.

At the same time, this industry can justifiably hire a large number of living market boys, as temporary helpers, and it is also more suitable for covering some things, from which to cultivate my family's more core intelligence team.

A steaming drink was placed beside me, I habitually touched it, and found that the touch was wrong, and my fingers fell into some kind of large piece of softness and richness, I couldn't help but raise my head, but it was not the usual squatting with my head in my hands, Cui Juanting holding a tea tray.
