This year's autumn was particularly cold, as if it had jumped straight from a scorching summer to a cold winter. However, this cold has been forgotten by almost everyone in the capital. The reason why everyone doesn't care about this in their hearts is that something bigger and more important happened not long ago. Many people have been prepared for this incident, but it still caused the biggest sensation in recent years.

Just when the feudal officials from all over the country rushed to the capital, an inconspicuous carriage rushed from the capital to Gansu instead. There was a young couple and a half-grown child in the carriage, as well as a very cute-looking child. They are Qin Tai and his wife, as well as their children Xiao Ping'an and cousin Qiu Xiaoqiu. Qin Tai has experienced many ups and downs, becoming more and more mature, and there is already more majesty between his gestures. The heroine is small but has completely restrained the heroic posture of the heroine among women, and at first glance it looks similar to an ordinary woman. If it weren't for the occasional sharp gaze or two, no one would believe that the little daughter-in-law in front of him was the heroine Zhan Xiaoxiao who had hundreds of lives in her hands. Qiu Xiaoqiu is Qin Tai's cousin and Qin Tai's follower and assistant. Now that he can become a teacher, he can not only do a good job as Qin Tai's right-hand man, but also begin to have the ability to handle cases independently. According to Qin Tai's plan, he planned to train his cousin Qiu Xiaoqiu for a few more years, and then let Qiu Xiaoqiu out to investigate and handle the case independently. In the future, let Qiu Xiaoqiu be a local case-handling official for a few years, and then recommend Qiu Xiaoqiu to the Criminal Department to specialize in handling unjust, false and wrongful cases, and then send Qiu Xiaoqiu to the National Prison for further study when necessary. Later, Qiu Xiaoqiu could teach students the experience of investigating cases in Guozijian, and he could also go to the local area to serve as the chief of the case. As long as Qiu Xiaoqiu has experience and Zhang Juzheng is still in the position of first assistant, Qiu Xiaoqiu's future will definitely be even greater than Qin Tai's in the future.

Xiao Ping'an can already babble and talk, although everyone can't understand what he says, but it still makes the adults happy. Not only did Zhan Xiaoxiao nag all day long, but even Qin Tai, who had always been steady, sometimes lost control of his emotions. Three days ago, Xiao Ping'an called "Dad" vaguely, which directly moved Qin Tai, a big man who was a father for the first time, and almost cried. If it weren't for the fact that there were still big things to deal with, Qin Tai really wanted to make out with his son and announce the good news to everyone. Although Xiao Ping'an prefers to stick to his mother to show Xiaoxiao, he also cares about this "father" very much. Because at a young age, he obviously felt that this man called "Dad" could influence the emotions of the family. As long as Qin Taiyi frowned, his mother Zhan Xiaoxiao would be uneasy, and she wouldn't care too much about him. If Qin Tai was happy, his mother would kiss and hug him, and sometimes even take him out shopping to buy some snacks. At a young age, he had already learned to please his father Qin Tai, and his eyesight was much better than that of his father Qin Tai. Qin Tai, who had just entered the officialdom, was not as strong as his son, which made Qin Tai offend a lot of people back then, otherwise Qin Tai would not have been so difficult. Xiao Ping'an sat in the carriage, and his whole body was lying in his mother's arms. I really hoped that his mother Zhan Xiaoxiao could tease him, but Xiao Ping'an felt that the adults were not in a high mood, so he obediently lay on his stomach and didn't dare to move much.

Qin Tai and his wife hired a carriage, and they were originally going to hire two charioters so that they could travel overnight. However, the price of goods in the capital is too expensive, and special things have happened in the capital, so ordinary car dealers are reluctant to take over business from other places at this time. With the help of Boss Chen Muchen, he finally got this carriage. However, there was only one coachman who drove the carriage, and he was unwilling to directly hand over the carriage to Qin Tai and the others. The charioteers who were driving the carriage were not enough, and they were unwilling to lend the carriage directly to Qin Tai, which made it impossible for Qin Tai to rush to the destination as quickly as possible. For this reason, Qin Tai thought of a compromise solution, the coachman and car owner still drove the car in person during the day, and Qiu Xiaoqiu drove the car at night when he was on the road at night. All the expenses on the road are borne by Qin Tai and his wife, and they also add double the salary of the coachman. Only then did the coachman agree to serve Qin Tai and his wife, and Qiu Xiaoqiu, a part-time coachman, came in handy again. Only then did Qiu Xiaoqiu understand why his master and stepfather Qiu Min and the old drunkard master had to learn to drive the carriage as soon as possible.

The coachman originally had some opinions about Qin Tai and his wife, and felt that such a road would not only be too tiring, but also damage his beloved horse. Although Qin Tai had promised to give double money, the nagging coachman still complained. This may have become a habit of their coachmen, who like to take this opportunity to inquire about some things and ask for more money. Dealing with this kind of human enmity Xiaoqiu must not be an opponent, even Qin Tai can't deal with it, but fortunately, they still have a shrewd Zhan Xiaoxiao by their side. As a woman, a housewife who takes care of the accounts, bargaining is her strength and her job. Zhan Xiaoxiao can not only cope with the nagging of the coachman smoothly, but also take a little advantage and save some unnecessary expenses. The coachman originally respected and hated this little daughter-in-law, respecting this woman's ability and hating this woman's calculations. However, soon after, a secret happened to the coachman, which was the true identity of Qin Tai and his wife. When this man in his forties who could be Qin Tai's father learned that Qin Tai was Qin Tai, the great hero who led everyone to resist the Japanese in the south, the coachman immediately changed his attitude.

It turns out that the coachman is not a native of Beijing, and he also has his own unknown past. At the beginning, the coachman Lao Xu turned out to be a person from Zhili, but because his family offended a petty official, his family was ruined. He was only thirteen years old, and he followed a group of fleeing people all the way south, walking, walking, walking, I don't know how long he walked, how many states and counties he passed, and finally stopped leaving. He was taken in by the owner of a carriage and horse shop, who first saw him as pitiful, and secondly because Lao Xu was a northerner and could speak some northern dialects that they didn't know how to speak. In this way, Lao Xu became the youngest guy in the carriage and horse shop, a small handyman who only took care of two meals and one night, and had no salary.

The carriage and horse shop is a multi-service industry, which can not only rent horses and carriages, but also be a place to eat and live. When he first arrived, Lao Xu couldn't do business and couldn't serve horses because he was young, so Lao Xu was assigned to the front to serve the guests. Every day, I either wash the dishes or clean up the garbage left behind by the guests. Although it was very hard, Lao Xu did not feel resentful at all. He wants to support himself and continue the bloodline for his family, and he doesn't want to take revenge or get ahead. Staying alive was his greatest motivation and his greatest wish at that time.

Lao Xu learned a lot of skills in the carriage and horse shop, not only learned to raise horses, but also learned how to do business. At that time, the people who came here to do business were either local merchants or businessmen from the far north. Lao Xu's identity as a northerner immediately played a role, he took advantage of the character characteristics of northerners, not only launched some services, but also suggested that the boss add some ingredients that northerners like to eat. Although it didn't work immediately, it also made the owner earn a lot more, and gradually the business of this carriage and horse shop was much better than other stores. The boss found out that Lao Xu was a person with brains, and not only began to reuse Lao Xu, but also decided to leave Lao Xu completely. In order to leave Lao Xu completely, the boss decided to marry his old daughter to Lao Xu, and this woman was Lao Xu's first wife.

When Lao Xu became the son-in-law of the owner of the carriage and horse shop, the business at sea was okay, although there were pirates from time to time, but the business channel at sea was not completely cut off. Therefore, the business of Lao Xu's carriage and horse shop is okay, and he can always support a large family. At that time, people who did this kind of business were divided into four categories, and the more money you make, the greater the risk, and if you want to be safe, it means that the profit will not be large. The first class of people directly do business at sea, bring goods to the sea to sell the goods, and then bring the goods back from overseas to sell. This kind of person is not only the most profitable, but also very likely to get rich overnight. However, if this kind of person does not have a good attitude, it is very likely to be ruined on this road. Either he lost his money and money when he was robbed at sea, or he became the son-in-law of the Sea Dragon King when he was shipwrecked. The second type of person is to do business in a partner, this kind of person has a certain amount of money and equipment, and waits at the port to wait for business to come to the door. They can partner up with some people to do business and share profits, or they can rent out personnel and equipment to merchants. These people have a lot of sailing experience, and they also have a certain back, and of course they may also be the eyeliner of some pirates. Such people may be hacked by other pirates, or they may be shipwrecked, and according to the old saying of some people, these people must be prepared to pay the price when they make a fortune. The third type of person is waiting for the buyer to ship at the port. Such a person sells what he has to those who are going to sea, and then buys it from those who return it. Although the income is relatively small, it is relatively stable compared to the danger of going to sea. Their profits are also several times greater, and they feel that it is worth it to not only make money but also not worry about their lives. This kind of person is the most numerous and the most common, and has become the most common person on this business road. The fourth type of person is the conversion of some men or laborers. They know some inside information about the industry, and when they have some money in their hands, they will wholesale some goods from their original employers and sell them inland. Although the capital is not much, and the profit will not be very rich, it is still more free and profitable than working for others. By doing so, these people can buy a house for their own family and marry a wife in a few years, and even become a small landowner with land and land.
