Ze Guoding Storm XIII. Fragments of memory
Xu Ping scolded this disrespectful guy in his heart, why do they all have such a face, does Lao Tzu have impure motives for saving people......? Wait a minute, did he just say Yingluo? Xu Ping said suspiciously: "Cao Ying's original name is Cao Yingluo?" Yao Sheng glanced at him suspiciously, looking like you don't even know this. Yao Sheng is like a handful of age, gray hair, wrinkled skin, forehead lines are stacked like terraces, only two cheekbones are left on his cheeks with a layer of gray skin, but his eyes reveal an age-inappropriate essence.
Yao Shengxiang ignored Xu Ping, walked to the chair and motioned for Xu Ping to sit down, while he took out his pipe and lit the tobacco and took a hard puff. Xu Ping thought to himself that this old man was still on the shelf, and when he finished speaking, I had to beat him severely. After Xu Ping made up his mind, he sat down happily and waited for Yao Shengxiang's next words. Yao Shengxiang glanced at him, what do you little fox think that the old man doesn't know? Young, Yingluo still grew up with me, you want to take revenge on Lao Tzu, wait until one hundred and eighty years later. Yao Shengxiang spit out a puff of white smoke and asked, "What kind of punch did you just fight?" Xu Ping was stunned for a moment, eh, if this person wants to trade, how can he put on such an under-fighting attitude, has he not been educated? Xu Ping scratched his head and said blankly: "I was stupid by the old gentleman's kick just now, and I seem to have forgotten it." ”
Yao Shengxiang was not annoyed, and then said: "Cao Ying's original name was Cao Yingluo, but since her mother passed away, she changed her name, and the master didn't say anything, it was up to her temperament." Actually, there's still a bit of a story in this......" Yao Shengxiang patted his head and said, "I almost forgot to ask you, what is that boxing method called?" Xu Ping said with a flattering smile: "I think about it, I think about it, it's called Tai Chi." Another day, I have time to learn from the old gentleman, this set of boxing methods can also be healthy. One set a day, the old gentleman may live to be 100 years old. ”
Yao Shengxiang was chanting Tai Chi in his mouth, searching in his mind, there seemed to be no corresponding personnel, there were talents in the country, and he was really old. Yao Shengxiang looked at Xu Ping's face, laughed in his heart, and said: "The master doesn't have any talent for business, and he relied on the princess to take care of it before, and His Royal Highness the Prince is ...... The mind is not here, so it is not suitable either. She is the only one who can carry the banner of Haining Palace, and she has also inherited the talents of the princess, and soon took care of the three businesses of transshipment, catering and rice shops. Xu Ping sighed secretly, there is such a thing, when Xu Ping came, but a month ago, he was not very clear about these old things. Entrusting the entire family to a woman, these men are too wasteful, go back and take care of Yingying, it's been too bitter in the past few years.
Xu Ping asked, "What about Yingluo?" Yao Shengxiang saw the gloom in his eyes, and his mood was a little better, and then said: "At the beginning, it was naturally not so easy to take over a huge business, personnel handover, learning some rules, and ubiquitous business wars, Yingying also suffered a lot at the beginning. Later, she wrote a notebook "Yingluo, not weaker than others." Since then, it has been renamed Cao Ying, thinking that it is Luo and weak homonyms, so as to clarify the ambition. Xu Ping sighed, he really didn't know much about her.
Yao Shengxiang looked at Xu Ping with a sad look, and said coldly: "You two haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, is it too early for you to put aside this sad spring and sad autumn now?" Xu Ping glanced at Yao Shengxiang, pondering that he had been misunderstood by Cao Ze just now, and it was not bad to have one more person or one less, and said with a smile: "Old man, how do you know that the eight characters have not been skimmed yet?" Yao Shengxiang looked at Xu Ping's smiling appearance, sneered, bluffed the old man, me? Xu Ping did not refute, the old god was sitting there, thinking about other things. After a while, Yao Shengxiang couldn't sit still, his pipe knocked on the table, and said, "Boy, honestly, what's going on?" Xu Ping stood up, put on the blank look just now, and scratched his head: "Just ...... It's a normal development. Yao Shengxiang suddenly had a feeling of vomiting blood from the cabbage that had been planted for more than ten years and was arched by a pig, scolded you fucking, grabbed the dagger just now and threw it out, but Xu Ping had already taken the first step to transport Qingfengxing and disappeared. Yao Shengxiang saw that he had run away, so his face was soothed, and the corners of his mouth raised: "Little fox, fight with me?"
When Xu Ping visited the Haining Palace, Cao Ying and Lu Pinyan had already taken care of the big and small affairs and went to the City Lord's Mansion in disguise. The hidden guards did not follow, and they were sent to major industries to inform Cao Ying of his secret return, and to convey the order to wait for the right time.
In the city lord's mansion, Shen Xin's study. Cao Ying looked at the four-character poster of "Jin Yu Qi Nei", no matter how many times she saw it, she would be deeply impressed by the domineering spirit of this word, and when she saw these four words, she made up her mind to take over her mother's burden and join forces with Shen Xin to control the political situation in Haining. Cao Ying's eyes were full of remembrance, Lu Pinyan stood behind Cao Ying, about the alliance with Shen Xin, what impressed me was that the two little girls who were only twelve or thirteen years old established Pinyan Building, went north and south, opened up the supply chain, disguised themselves to go down to sell, and relied on low-cost distribution regardless of the cost, sowing discord in the alliance of several old gouache merchants to fight a bloody way.
Lu Pinyan closed his eyes, and the anxiety at that time seemed to be still in front of him, "Yingying, low-cost distribution, turnover can be turnover, but gouache is not a fast-moving consumer product, and we will be dragged down by operating costs if we continue like this." "It's the off-season, it doesn't matter if we are new to the game, the old gouache merchant has to prepare to repay the money during this time period." Those with poor strength will collapse first, and only then will we have hope if their market is given up. It is difficult for gouache to survive by dumping at low prices, and it is necessary to increase prices and create a new world. After that, Cao Ying acquired several gouache merchants with broken capital chains and gained a firm foothold in Haining. The back is to personally endorse and set up people, first Lu Pinyan, and then Cao Ying, and the price of gouache in Pinyan Building has risen. The low-end area was first smashed by Pinyan regardless of the cost, and the price could not be raised for a few years, and the high-end area Pinyan took sixty percent of the market, and also engaged in purchase restrictions, and the real profit was even more amazing. It wasn't until they saw the report of Pinyan Building that the old men in the house closed their stinky mouths. It's all money-eyed goods, which is really disgusting.
Lu Pinyan thought of this, and glanced at Cao Ying again, when Pinyanlou was still this little girl, she squirmed and said: "Pinyan, you are the most trusted person around me, this gouache brand is named after you, and it is fully owned by you." Lu Pinyan was so moved at that time that she didn't know until a later conversation that it was a practice of buying people's hearts, and Cao Ying kept apologizing after speaking, saying that she originally thought Pinyanlou was very good, but it just happened to be right for those tricks to control people mentioned in the book. felt the need to say it frankly, and then looked at Lu Pinyan pitifully. Lu Pinyan couldn't cry or laugh, but she was very happy in her heart, and reached out to touch her delicate and well-proportioned face and said, "It's really outside, you dead girl!" After speaking, he pinched it hard, pulling Cao Ying's face and pulling the old elder. Cao Ying wore a veil for a while, and outsiders didn't know why, but Lu Pinyan knew what the red and swollen face under the veil looked like. Thinking of this, Lu Pinyan smiled heartily, and then set up a hidden guard and take care of other businesses is another matter.
"As soon as I came in, I saw Miss Lu's beautiful smile, today is really a good day. There was a hearty laugh outside the door, and it was Shen Xin, the city lord of Haining, who spoke, and Li Shouzhong followed. City Lord Shen laughed. Lu Pinyan turned around and gave a blessing and retreated behind Cao Ying. Cao Ying also turned around when she heard the voice, and said with a junior salute, "I've seen Uncle Shen." At this time, Shen Xin saw Cao Ying's makeup clearly, and said curiously: "Yingying, is your makeup a new product of Pinyanlou?" Cao Ying's eyebrows couldn't hide the smug look between her eyebrows, and she said with a smile: "It's the person who applies makeup who is skilled, and any makeup can be captured." Shen Xin saw that she didn't want to reveal her name, so she didn't ask much, but said directly to the point: "Your second uncle didn't come to me, there is no change in the garrison camp outside the city, and Pinyan should have mentioned other situations to you, right?"
Cao Ying nodded, the second uncle wants to digest the power of the Haining Palace, and if he doesn't contact Wang Dangdang or Shen Xin, how can he get it......? Cao Ying glanced at Shen Xin suspiciously, Shen Xin shook his head, the princelings in the city are not in a climate, and it is completely impossible to shake the foundation of Haining's political situation. Shen Xin asked, "What are you going to do next?" Cao Ying sighed and said, "It's inconvenient for me to show up for the time being, let's see what the second uncle does next and then decide how to deal with it." Shen Xin bowed his head and asked with a smile: "Then Yingying has thought of a way to deal with it?" Cao Ying said: "Well, I have guessed several possible directions of evolution. At this time, Li Shouzhong interjected: "The puppy team of the palace found that the family of the new pastry chef in the Hungry Building has not shown up for more than half a month. ”
Cao Ying knew this person, she had the impression that Xu Ping said that he might be the key to breaking the game. "Lao asks the City Lord's Mansion to pay more attention, this person may have key clues. Cao Ying looked at Li Shouzhong, "There are not enough people on the hidden guard's side, and they can't catch it." Shen Xin's eyes changed, he was also present during the interrogation that night, and there was nothing unusual about this person's reaction. Although it is a bit unusual for the family to not show up for more than half a month, how does Cao Ying know that there is something wrong with this person? Shen Xin hurriedly said: "Cao is in charge, is there anything wrong with this person?"
Cao Ying pondered for a while, she still didn't want to expose Xu Ping's existence, and said apologetically: "It's the news that a friend found out, and it's inconvenient for Yingying to reveal it." Shen Xin felt a little pity, but he didn't ask too much, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I don't know how the little prince is in the palace, I have a lot of people here, but, alas, ...... You also know that you can't sneak into the palace. I wanted to go in and have a look yesterday, but I never found a chance. Cao Ying picked up the tea on the table and took a sip and said, "Uncle Shen has a heart, I have already sent people to visit the mansion, maybe there will be news later." Seeing this, Lu Pinyan also picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.
Cao Ying's expression was soft when she said this, and when Lu Pinyan drank tea, she glanced at it and sighed secretly, how deep is this girl. Shen Xin was like a child, and he could hear the unusual thing in these words, and exchanged glances with Li Shouzhong, his eyes were happy, although Cao Ying was a very brilliant junior, he had also seen it in his eyes all these years. But the daughter's body, some things are inconvenient, and some things are variable, so I don't dare to put heavy pressure on her. Settle down early, maybe some people take profit and leave, but the rest of the people have the strength to stud to the end. Shen Xin thought of this, and glanced at Lu Pinyan, Lu Pinyan saw Shen Xin frowning, pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Lord Shen doesn't have to be like this, I'm also curious." Shen Xin's careful thinking was broken by Lu Pinyan's words, a little embarrassed, and looked at Lu Pinyan complainingly, but Lu Pinyan didn't know that it was so mysterious? Cao Ying brushed the hair that had just fallen from drinking tea behind her ears, and said softly: "Uncle Shen, Yingying knows in her heart and will give you an explanation, but it's not time yet." ”
Just when a few people were chatting without a word, the voice of the subordinate came from outside the door: "Master, master." Shen Xin frowned, with a hint of anger, looked at Cao Ying and said, "I'm smiling." Cao Ying shook her head: "There must be something important to report, Uncle Shen can make a decision after listening, I and Pinyan ......" was about to get up, Shen Xin hurriedly pressed his hand and said, "You don't have to leave, Yingying is outside." The subordinate had already arrived at the door at this time, and when he heard this, he blurted out: "Master, the seventh drop of water in the Imperial Court Water Wave Pavilion - Lord Ripple, with a cheap order, has arrived at the ruins of the post station outside the north city." "Shuibo Pavilion has the pavilion master Qingquan, is the martial arts of Zeguo Ming, and there are seven drops of water under it, all of them are a product of cultivation, each has its own strengths, and has a unique talent, and the people of the rivers and lakes are called Zeguo water ghosts. Hearing this, everyone present understood that the prince's people were coming. It turned out that Cao Zhengyu was really close to the prince, and the person who came was the ripples of the Water Wave Pavilion, so ...... I'm afraid the situation is difficult to manage, and the king of Haining is in danger. Cao Ying saw that Shen Xin's face was uncertain, and she felt very uncomfortable, she had a faint premonition yesterday morning that this time there might be a master involved in it. Until just now, the first-grade master had not yet appeared, she still had a fluke, Xu Ping said that the second-grade invincible, there was no shortage of high-end combat power on her side, and the situation was also under her control, and she had a big chance of winning. However, the ripple is coming, so what's the use of more masters?
Shen Xin looked bitter and said, "Yingying, you should avoid it for a while during this time." Li Shouzhong also looked solemn, Cao Ying nodded, and took Lu Pinyan away, the atmosphere that had just warmed up, with the arrival of the Water Wave Pavilion, was like a dragonfly dotting water, and it returned to flat.
After Xu Ping came out of the Haining Palace, he pondered, it was still quite early, and Yingying estimated that she would not be able to figure it out for a while and a half, so it was better to walk around now, and then go back to Pinyan Building to find her later. So Xu Ping walked aimlessly, where there were many people, he went there, and unconsciously came to a tall building, the building was painted with orange paint, decorated with all kinds of copper coin pendants, exuding a luxurious atmosphere. In the case that the surrounding buildings are not high, this building stands out from the crowd, as if there is a silent cry in the building complex: Lao Tzu thief has money. Xu Ping shook his head, there are such people and things in every era, for fear that others will not know that he is rich, and the pomp is extremely luxurious, but in the eyes of the real bosses, these people are like clowns.
Xu Ping looked around, there were many more carriages on this street compared to other streets, but there was no sound of selling, and compared to other streets, this street was much quieter. Looking at it, there are all Yinzhuang money villages around, Xu Ping's heart moved, and this one next to him will not be ...... "Cargo Pass Silver Village!" Xu Ping said in a low voice, a little embarrassed, so to speak, this building is worthy of being the first silver village in the mainland, and it is also a bit desirable. Suddenly, Xu Ping felt a tearing pain in his head, and many memory fragments jumped out again, "Wang dare to be ...... Gold Thousand Taels...... Cloud Shadow ...... A month ago?" came to mind, and many more fragments. Xu Ping recovered from the pain, he tried to string those nouns together, find a vein, and after several attempts, he ended up without a problem. If you can't think of it, you don't want to think about it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, take a step and see a step. Xu Ping said to himself on a whim: "I have read a lot of similar novels in my previous life, and generally in the end, those who have this situation have become villains, and I won't be the same...... Could it be that Yingying is a villain? Anyway, I'm on her side, hahaha. “
Shaking his head, Xu Ping decided to go inside and find out if he could get more inspiration.
