Chapter Fifty-Eight: Yipinzhai

The sun is rising. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the sun shone on the earth, and the temperature began to rise.

It's finally time!

Fang Xiaobao finished standing on the pile, sat down on the ground, gasping for air.

"I'm tired!"

I rubbed my thighs, which were sore and painful. Fang Xiaobao glanced at the two next to him, and Zhang Biao scratched his head and smiled. Zhao Yaling took out the towel that had been prepared a long time ago and came over to wipe his sweat.

"Xiaobao, don't underestimate the standing pile, there is a good saying, if you don't practice boxing, you will be empty when you get old...... Standing on the pile is the basic skill, if you can keep practicing, it will be of great benefit to you! "Don't look at Zhang Biaoren's stupidity, when it comes to practice, every sentence is incisive and insightful.

"Hmm." Fang Xiaobao nodded. In the past six months, he has practiced standing piles diligently, although it is boring and hard, he can feel that his physical fitness is constantly improving.

"Everything is important in persistence, as long as you can persevere...... Young master, I believe that you will definitely be more powerful than Brother Biao in the future! Zhao Yaling said with a smile while wiping Fang Xiaobao's sweat.

"Got it, housekeeper!"

Fang Xiaobao grinned, got up, and greeted Zhang Biao: "Today is the opening of the new store on Chang'an Street, Brother Biao hurry up and prepare, let's not be late!" ”

"Okay!"

Zhang Biao turned and left. Subsequently, Fang Xiaobao and Zhao Yaling walked into the villa one after the other.

Took a shower. Fang Xiaobao was refreshed, ready to change his clothes, and went downstairs for breakfast. At this moment, the bedroom door suddenly opened, and Zhao Yaling came in with a brand new dress.

"Holy!"

Fang Xiaobao covered his chest with his hands and shouted in his mouth, "Yaling, you came in without knocking...... I haven't dressed yet! ”

Look at him wearing pants and posing a protective posture. Zhao Yaling's cheeks were crimson, but she quickly returned to normal, and said in a chiseled manner: "Butler and housekeeper, the duty is to take care of everything in this family, including you, young master!" ”

This girl's potential line, she is the hostess of this family, including herself, she is the object of control.

Fang Xiaobao was very depressed after hearing this. Thinking that the housekeeper was dutiful, and she didn't want to refute it, so she could only be at the mercy of the other party.

"Young master, you are now a knight aristocrat, the opening of a new store, it is inevitable that there will be partners in the business field to congratulate you, you must do a good job in etiquette, don't let people gossip!"

Zhao Yaling came over with a dress. motioned for Fang Xiaobao to change into this outfit.

White shirt, tuxedo, trousers with bow tie. Fang Xiaobao glanced at it and muttered, "I don't like Yangmaozi's clothes...... Yaling, change the set for me! ”

"This is the most popular men's clothing in aristocratic circles this summer!"

Zhao Yaling put the neatly folded clothes on the bed, and then said, "Young master, you give it a try, you will definitely be handsome when you wear it!" ”

"People are handsome, and they wear the same thing!" Fang Xiaobao pursed his lips and said unashamedly.

"That's narcissistic!"

Zhao Yaling grinned. When he walked out of the room, he told Fang Xiaobao not to forget to change into this outfit.

There was a housekeeper staring, although Fang Xiaobao didn't like it, he still put on a tuxedo. Come to the mirror and look left and right.

Not to mention, this tuxedo is well-cut and fits, and it looks good on the body. In his words, handsome enough!

"The housekeeper's eyesight is good!"

Fang Xiaobao showed a satisfied expression. Then, humming a little song, he walked downstairs.

Had breakfast. Looking at the time, it was almost eight o'clock. Fang Xiaobao was ready to greet Zhao Yaling to go to the Chang'an Street store together. After taking a look, the housekeeper's mother-in-law, who was having breakfast with him just now, was nowhere to be seen.

"Sister Zhou, where is Yaling?" Fang Xiaobao shouted at the kitchen.

Sister Zhou, who was busy washing dishes, poked her head out and replied with a smile: "Miss Yaling should change her clothes!" ”

"There are so many things to do with women!"

Fang Xiaobao muttered in his mouth. Since the housekeeper's wife took office, unlike his brother-in-law Ma Wenfang, who left early and returned late, he stayed at the farm and lived with him. Counting the time, it has been almost a year.

Muscles. In addition to being strict with his housekeeper, Fang Xiaobao is still very satisfied with other aspects.

Young boys and girls live together all year round, and it is easy to have a good impression of each other. Fang Xiaobao likes Zhao Yaling's cheerful and gentle personality very much, but there is another reason why he is willing to accept the other party's 'discipline'.

When Ma Wenfang took Zhao Yaling to the farm and met Fang Xiaobao for the first time. He found that the other party's tone and demeanor were very similar to Ah Hui.

A kind girl who unfortunately passed away!

Playmates who grew up together as childhood sweethearts!

It's also a girl who makes him feel guilty and has been haunting it and can't forget it!

Because of this, Fang Xiaobao had insight into Ma Wenfang's careful thinking, and still accepted Zhao Yaling as a housekeeper, spoiled and doted on like a sister-in-law, and was willing to accept the other party's 'control'.

Perhaps only in this way can we make up for the regrets hidden in the depths of our hearts.

I waited for about ten minutes. Zhao Yaling finally walked downstairs. Wearing a light blue long skirt and delicate makeup, her figure is graceful and bright.

Fang Xiaobao saw it in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When the other person just walked down the stairs. Fang Xiaobao walked forward quickly, bent down and made a standard aristocratic salute, and said with a smile in his mouth: "This beauty, can you enjoy your face and have a meal together...... Tell us about life events? ”

"Flim Flam!"

Zhao Yaling glanced at him with disgust. After that, a very ladylike hand stretched out.

"Let's go—"

Fang Xiaobao took the other party's little hand and smiled. Then they walked out of the villa together.

Outside the gate, a horse-drawn carriage was already parked. It's just that the carriage was pulled by four fierce black mastiffs. Fang Xiaobao carried Zhao Yaling to the car. After that, Zhang Biao, who was in charge of driving, whistled. The four-headed black mastiff exerted its strength, dragged the carriage forward without difficulty, galloped along the winding mountain road, and soon drove out of the farm.

…………………………

Chang'an Avenue.

One of the eight main streets of the imperial capital. The administrative department is concentrated.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the streets were full of crowds and traffic, and it was already very lively. In the past, you can see sumptuously decorated horse-drawn carriages. One of them is the most eye-catching.

Eight white dragon horses are controlled, and the divine horses are powerful, which is enough to show the noble and extraordinary identity of the master.

Gao Yue sat in the car. Holding the cheeks, the pretty face showed a touch of annoyance. Two years of time don't seem to have left any marks on her body, but the slender delicate body is getting fuller and fuller, her posture is more gorgeous, and her body exudes the charm of a mature woman.

"Miss, the second master is too much this time...... Unexpectedly, he united with other clansmen to put pressure on the lord and forced you to marry Chen Bin's second ancestor! Next to him, the voice of the personal maid Xiaokou sounded, full of indignation.

Gao Yue listened to this, frowned, and was upset for a while.

In the past two years, the family business has hit a bottleneck and stagnated. In order to break through the status quo, after many clan elders discussed, it was decided to form a large fleet of ships, which was specifically responsible for opening up Western shipping commercial lines.

The eastern and western continents are separated by oceans. Passing through the chaotic sea, the environment is harsh, and the navigation of ordinary merchant ships is extremely dangerous. The Gao family originally also had a fleet, and more than half of the twelve merchant ships had been lost in recent years. Therefore, it was decided to order ten ironclad ships directly from the Western Sass Empire through personal connections.

The carrying capacity is three thousand tons. The hull is built with iron sheets, which is sturdy and durable, and is defended by eight guns to ensure safe navigation.

But the price of each ironclad ship is an astronomical amount. Ten ships combined, even if they are as rich as the Gao family, it is difficult to bear.

Therefore, it is necessary to start from the silver account and raise a large amount of capital circulation.

Ordinary silver horns do not have this strength. Only the largest HSBC silver account in the imperial capital can come up with this astronomical amount of borrowing. Originally, with the reputation and assets of the Gao family, it was not difficult to borrow. Unexpectedly, when the other party agreed to cooperate, he put forward an additional condition.

Marriage!

The Chen family, the controller behind the HSBC silver account, the top five big families in the imperial capital, actually proposed to marry the Gao family before agreeing to borrow.

As for the two parties to the marriage, the Chen family is the heir of the line, Chen Bin. The Gao family's side is naturally Gao Yue.

Chen Bin, the famous second ancestor of the imperial capital, eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and has a very bad reputation. Of course, Gao Yue was reluctant. It is a lifelong event related to his daughter, and his father, Gao Tianyou, the head of the Gao family, is also hesitant.

Gao Tianzuo, the second uncle of Gao Yue, strongly approved of the marriage of Gao Chen's two families, and encouraged a group of clan elders to persecute in every possible way in the name of the family.

Just this morning, Gao Yue, the second uncle, tricked her into meeting Chen Bin. Thinking of the experience just now, Gao Yue couldn't help but have a touch of disgust on her pretty face.

"My Gao Yue's future husband, even if he is not a dragon and phoenix among people, he must be a great hero who stands up to the sky!"

This is a vow that Gao Yue has made a long time ago. As for Chen Bin's second ancestor...... No matter how much pressure from the family is, she will never compromise and marry a guy she hates.

I thought about how to solve the troublesome matter of family capital turnover. As the carriage passed through an intersection, the sound of firecrackers was heard outside.

"Look, Miss!"

Xiao Ko lifted the curtain, pointed to a store at the entrance of the street, and said with a surprised face: "Yipinzhai has opened a branch again, and it is still in the downtown area of Chang'an Street, which is really not simple!" ”

Yipinzhai, a merchant that has just risen in the imperial capital in recent years, is mainly engaged in various fruits, poultry, fish, agricultural and sideline products, as well as dried fruits and preserves. The freshness of the raw food is superb, and the cooked food has a unique taste. Business is doing extremely well.

Gao Yue himself is a regular customer of Yipinzhai. I like to eat his family's unique secret dried fruit preserves. It's just that I haven't come to the door in person, and I basically go to buy it with my personal maid Xiaokou.

"In just one or two years, I was able to buy shops and open stores on the eight main streets of the imperial capital, and the business was extremely hot...... The boss of this product is not simple! Gao Yue nodded and gave a very high evaluation.

Xiao Ko knew that his master was in a bad mood today, and he intended to explain, remembering the news he overheard a few days ago, and smiled: "Miss, maybe you don't know yet, the boss of this Pinzhai ...... Speaking of which, we are still acquaintances! “

"Oh!" Gao Yue's face was surprised.

Ko pursed her lips and smiled. Then he leaned over and said in Gao Yue's ear: "Miss, do you still remember that two years ago, the thief from Black Earth City won the Eight Star Lottery Five Notes Jackpot?" ”

"It's him!"

Gao Yue was stunned. After that, his face was full of surprise and disbelief.
