Since the lunar month, the city of Yingdu is lively to a higher level, the footsteps of the New Year are close at hand, the stable and tranquil environment makes the people live and work in peace and contentment, the lively city streets, tall and gorgeous houses and buildings are lined up one after another, all kinds of shops make people dizzy, pedestrians walk in it, shoulder to shoulder, people are boiling.

There are taverns, tea shops, temples, etc., some shops are selling silk and satin, and also selling jewelry and spices, there are two medical halls across the street, and the fortune teller who looks at the corner of the street, as well as the fortune teller gathered together to talk nonsense in Hu Tianhai, and made a long speech on the new things of the moment, and added the results of his own calculation at the end, and said: "Life also." ”

Businessmen, gentry watching the street scene, officials on horseback, hawkers, family members in sedan chairs, monks with baskets on their backs, tourists from other places asking for directions, children in the streets and alleys who listen to and hear stories, children of wealthy families drinking in restaurants, and disabled elderly people begging on the edge of the city...... Men, women, young and old, Shinong, businessmen, businessmen, three religions and nine streams, everything.

When they came to Yingdu, because they were traveling by waterway, they carried more goods, and when they arrived at the wharf, they were already amazed by the wharf and Shunshui wharf in Yingdu.

There are many ships moored on the bank of the river, coming and going very busy, most of them are end to end, or the slender man pulls, or the boatman rocks the oar, some are full of goods, going upstream, and some are moored on the shore, nervously unloading.

Across the moat is a large-scale wooden arch bridge, called Jiaxing Bridge, with exquisite structure and beautiful form.

While their big boats were about to cross the bridge, the boatmen either supported the bridge with pennies, or hooked the bridge with long bamboos, or pulled the boats with hemp ropes, or busily lowered the masts to pass the arches smoothly.

The people on the neighboring boat also pointed and pointed as if they were shouting something. The people on the bridge also stretched out their heads to discuss nervously, hoping that the big ship would pass smoothly.

Jiang Li, the current head of the Jiang family, who had just entered the capital from the dockside, looked forward to the wide avenue of the Yingdu, and his heart was full of pride, and the corners of his mouth lifted a smug smile.

This is Yingdu, this is Yingdu!

Finally, finally!

It took more than three years for him to finally take the Jiang family to enter Yingdu, and he was about to open the Jiang family's silk shop in the capital.

This is not a petty fight, not a temptation to close down and leave after just a few years of opening a shop here, but really relying on the capital, entrenching and surviving, and leading the Jiang family to dominate the shopping malls of the entire Chu State.

This is the dream of the entire Jiang family, and it is also his dream, and he has such ambitions.

The prosperity of Yingdu is Jiang Li's joy and excitement, only in such an environment, he has the world to display his talents and ambitions, instead of being trapped in Jinzhou, south of the Yangtze River, a corner of peace.

Of course, in addition to his own efforts, he should also be grateful to the "unfortunate" eldest brother who was sick in bed, if it weren't for his illness, he would not have succeeded in bringing down his grandfather and inheriting the entire Jiang family.

Thanks to God's favor, he has today's achievements, what hurt Jin Keshui's life? Joke!

Now that he has come to the capital, he wants to see who dares to say about him.

"Master, it's not early, let's go into the inn early to rest, right? The weather was cold, and the brothers below were a little overwhelmed. Standing next to Jiang Li and talking was Fu Yan, who had been working hard with Jiang Li for a long time, and his methods were very good, and he was reused by Jiang Li, and he also won his trust.

"Hmm." Jiang Li, who was called by the house, was in a much happier mood, looked at the street in front of him, and nodded lightly. The sky is gradually darkening, and the red glow on the horizon is gradually sinking, and it will be late.

The restaurant they stayed in was set in the Jinchun Restaurant in Nancheng District, the first step has been booked in advance, the Jiang family's silk shop has not yet opened, the decoration is almost decorated, and the purchased property has been prepared, Jiang Li plans to live in the restaurant for a few nights, and then officially move in after going out for a few days.

After all, the Jiang family is only a snake in Jinzhou, Jiangnan, and here in the capital, it is really nothing, at best, it is only a little famous.

Swaggering in the deep capital city must not last long, everyone knows the truth of the big wind, and the days to come can be low-key, but a good start is still necessary.

However, at the moment, Jiang Li still wants the Jiang family's shop to cause a sensation when it opens, so that the whole city knows that the Jiang family in Jinzhou, Jiangnan is here, and it is really necessary to plan well.

Don't be in a hurry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, it's been dormant for so many years, is it still a while?

"Fu Yan, explain it, the brothers eat and drink well tonight, let go and celebrate, you know?" When he was about to enter at the entrance of Jinchun Restaurant, Jiang Li suddenly stopped, stopped his divergent thoughts, and then turned to talk about the people below.

"The head of the family can rest assured, and his subordinates understand." Fu Yan bowed, indicating that he knew what he knew.

"Okay, let's go, I'm tired today and go upstairs to rest, you let them take some food and drink and send them to my room."

"Yes, Master." Fu Yan replied again, his ordinary face was full of respect, he was born in a stable, and it was Jiang Li who took a fancy to promote him and let him wait by his side.

The grace of knowing is indescribable, and the only way to serve is to serve with all your heart.

From the outsider's point of view, Jiang Li's temperament is uncertain, he usually looks gloomy and unapproachable, and the methods in the mall are also decisive and decisive, but in Fu Yan's opinion, even if he follows him with all his heart, he is willing.

Jiang Li originally wanted to go out for a walk, and Yingdu at night must also have a different style, but he had no choice but to travel tiringly, floating on the river for many days, and after stopping the boat, he was strong and strong, and he also felt very tired.

Twisting his brows, Xiao Er, who entered the store, greeted him warmly, the chattering voice was a little annoying next to his ears, Jiang Li's face was not good, and he only asked him to take him upstairs to find a room to rest, and the dozens of family members who followed behind him were Fu Yan arranging rest.

Xiao Er of Jinchun Restaurant is also a good person, seeing the thin and tall man in front of him, with a gloomy and terrifying expression, his eyes are blue and black, as if he has tuberculosis and will die soon, he looks like he is not a good person, so he quickly led him upstairs and pushed open one of the best rooms in the store.

The shopkeeper said hello, this is a rich businessman from Jiangnan, who is to be well received, maybe people will give a lot of rewards with a wave of their hands.

Now it seems that it is impossible to wave a big hand, and it would be good not to give a big ear scraper.

At best, he is a rich man, what is horizontal, what is the greatness? I can't get used to seeing such a person, there are more people who come to the capital to do business every year, and he has never seen such an unceremonious person.

Jiang Li's personal characteristics determine that many of the affairs of the Jiang family are not in his hands, and most of them are manipulated behind the scenes, otherwise if a dead man like him talks about business with the outside world, wouldn't it be a cool deal?

After Jiang Li entered the room, Xiao Er lit all the candles in the room, and suddenly the room lit up, slightly worse than daylight, and then consciously closed the door, and then went downstairs.

Hey, it's a life of being a cow and a horse!

Xiao Er gave Jiang a window in the room he left, but because it was cold, the window bolt was quite tight.

Jiang Li put the burden on his hand next to the bed, perhaps because he felt that the smell in the room was a little dull, so after putting down the things, he walked to the window, pulled the window bolt, and then pushed the window open.

As soon as he pushed it away, a gust of cold wind poured in, and Jiang Li shivered unconsciously.

Outside the window are houses and buildings against the backdrop of red lanterns, and there is a small pond, the reflection of the lanterns on the surface of the pond, the wind rises, the waves are continuous, and the light and shadow are broken.

The dim light of the street in the distance inexplicably brought some warmth, and the sound of pedestrians could still be faintly heard, but it was too far away to be heard clearly.

The contrast between noise and tranquility was strong at this moment, Jiang Li's mood was agitated, and he couldn't help but bend down and move a stool over, and then opened the hem of his shirt and sat down, the cotton robe he was wearing was very thick, and the stitches were fine and impermeable, even if the cold wind was strong, it couldn't be poured in.

Looking at the scene in the distance, Jiang Li had a rare smile on his face.

Tonight's night sky was dark, there were no stars, and there was no moon, presumably because the clouds were too thick to obscure it.

He stretched out his hands that were as thin as firewood, and they were stretched out in front of his eyes, lifeless and bloodless.

The health is getting worse and worse year by year, and I don't know how long I can last, the doctor asked countless questions, and many strange people have also found a lot, and there are countless tonics to eat.

But for his increasingly depleted body, it didn't have any effect.

A doctor said that in the early years, he was angry in his chest and could not be relieved, and he indulged in excessive desires and did not seek maintenance, so he damaged the foundation of his body alive.

Subsequently, this doctor never appeared in Jiangnan again.

Jiang Li stared at his fingers, and then looked up at the distance outside the window, unwilling, but a little faintly worried, worried that his life would not be long.

He finally took the position of the head of the family from the hands of his eldest brother, and finally achieved his current achievements, and finally led the Jiang family to Yingdu.

There was a sudden knock on the door of "Tuk Tuk Tuk", which interrupted Jiang Li's thoughts, and his unconsciously clenched hand suddenly loosened, his slightly angry and gloomy expression relaxed a little, and his eyes were still fierce and scary.

"Master, it's time to drink medicine." Outside the door is Fu Yan, after he settled his brothers, he hurriedly went to the stove to stew medicine for Jiang Li, the tonic soup to be drunk every day is rotated, and the only person who handles it is Fu Yan.

"Come in." Jiang Li's face softened a little when he heard Fu Yan's voice, and Fu Yan cautiously entered the door with the medicine bowl when he heard the answer.

As soon as I entered the door, I could feel the cool breeze blowing on my face, and I couldn't help but gasp: "Master, the weather is too cold in this cold winter, watch your body, or close the window." The tone is worried, and the bitter look is inexplicable.

Jiang Li raised his eyes to look at him, his simple face was like an old stake, and his concerned expression was extremely bitter and bitter at this moment, which was simply interesting, and Jiang Li's mood was inexplicably better when he saw it.

"No problem." He said.
