Fight the Giants

  Chapter 355 Was I like this before

   Huo Xi stood beside Shen Qianzhong and Yang Fu, and bid farewell to the shopkeepers of each shop with them.

  Li Yu bowed his hands to the two of them, then nodded to Huo Xi, and boarded the boat back to his hometown with the New Year gift that Huo Xi had prepared for his family.

  It's the end of the year and the people are taking to the streets to buy new year's goods.

  The fan cloth purchased by Guangfengshui is very popular. The shop is full of people every day. There are also all kinds of novel handicrafts by Fanren, and many people buy them. In addition, there are all kinds of toys that sell better.

  At the end of the year, the people are willing to spend money to buy some fun things for the children at home to make them happy.

  Toys include those from the Wei Dynasty, Fanren, and high imitation Fanren, and they sell very well. It's not that Shen Qianzhong never thought about setting up another carpentry workshop, anyway, they also make matching fan boxes and fan boxes when they make fans.

   But Huo Xi did not agree. Although the volume of toys sold is large, the profit is too thin, so I don't plan to spend energy on setting up a wood workshop.

   Instead, when receiving the goods, they inquired about carpenters with better jobs in the counties, towns, villages and villages, signed a contract with them, provided them with pictures, asked them to make them, and then Guangfengshui was responsible for recycling and marketing.

  If shopkeeper Shen is from Huo Xi's hometown, he will know that this behavior is called substituting processing.

   It means that I use your production capacity to achieve my goal. I will place an order for you to produce, and then put my brand on it, so that the things you produce will become my home.

  However, Huo Xi didn't do OEM. Huo Xi underwrites the things made by others, allowing craftsmen to print their own marks on the products, such as the cooperation with Wenji Porcelain Kiln.

  Huo Xi thinks that Guangfeng Shui should keep a low profile. It is her consistent idea to make a fortune without showing the mountains or revealing the water. After all, the tree attracts the wind. This is the era of imperial supremacy.

  The whole world is the emperor's land, and all the guests who lead the land are the king's ministers. Keep a low profile.

   And by doing this, Huo Xi also won the hearts of many people, and gained a lot of resources and connections. The guys from Guangfengshui went everywhere to receive the goods, and with the help of local people, the delivery was much smoother than others.

  The same receiving price is more willing to leave it to Guangfeng Shui.

  Shen Qianzhong was busy with the shop, Yang Fu was busy giving gifts to the golden thighs, Huo Xi was busy buying all kinds of new year's goods for the family, and giving gifts to the homes of some friends.

  The nanny and Mama gave one to the Qin family, grandpa Zou and grandmother, Lou Qingyao's mother and daughter, and the family's servants also prepared food and rewards for the New Year.

  Setting things up in the city, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, all yamen sealed, Huo Xi brought Huo Nian and Bao Kang back to the Zhuangzi in Jiangjun Mountain by Huo Erhuai.

  Mr. Yang hasn't seen Huo Xi for a long time, so Tete came to Zhuangzi Wharf to pick him up.

   "Mom, it's so cold, what are you doing out here, don't you think it's freezing?"

  Mr. Yang smiled and said nothing, but looked at her sternly. Mrs. Zuo said from the side, "Your mother has been talking about you all day. If you don't come and see her sooner, how can you rest assured?"

  Mr. Yang took her hand: "Next time I go for so long, let your father or uncle follow, and you go out alone, mother is really worried."

  Huo Xi nodded in response.

  Huo Nian touched Yang's stomach: "My brother has grown up a bit." He happily touched his mother's stomach again and again.

  Suddenly, as if frightened by something, he withdrew his hand suddenly, and his eyes widened.

  The little finger pointed: "Sister, mother's stomach can move!"

  Huo Xi pressed his little hand down, "My brother lives inside, of course he can move."

   "Is my brother moving?" Huo Nian opened his mouth slightly, with an expression of disbelief.

"yes."

  After receiving affirmative answers from Yang Shi, Zuo Shi and others, Huo Nian was amazed: "Mother, did I move like this before and kick you too?"

  Mr. Yang was stunned, and Huo Erhuai, who was directing the servants in the back to move things, was also stunned.

  Huo Xi didn't know how to answer the conversation.

Zuo stroked his little head, and said with a smile: "Of course Nian'er is the same as your brother, whoever moves like this in mother's womb will suffer if he doesn't move. Brother Nian'er feels that his brother is touching him , saying hello to my brother."

  Huo Nianyi grinned, stuck to his mother's belly, stroked it with his small hands, slowly and gently: "Brother, I'm my brother, you have to be good, when you come out, my brother will take you to play."

  Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Shi looked at Huo Nian dotingly, and when he had touched enough, he took his little hand and walked into the village.

  Huo Xi also heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at his father, and raised his legs to follow.

  As soon as Huo Nian arrived at Zhuangzi, he took Bao Kang and ran away without a trace.

  Zuo Shi and Bao Xia saw their son happier than in the past. They became more proficient in hand, foot, knife and arrow.

  Huo Xi feels relieved when she sees her.

  The next day, I went to the sugar factory next door to see the sugar stored in the warehouse, and learned about the sugar production during this period of time with Ji Laozhuang. Seeing that there was a lot of prepared white sugar and rock sugar in the warehouse, she thought that with this progress, she would have enough to go to sea.

   After reading it, I checked the winter wheat on the two Zhuangzi with Ji Laozhuang and Qi Da, and then looked at the ledgers of the two Zhuangzi, and distributed New Year's goods and rewards to the servants of the Zhuangzi.

  Huo Erhuai also asked Huo Erhuai to go to Hot Spring Zhuangzi.

  After dealing with the matters of the three Zhuangzi, I will be at ease on the Zhuangzi and prepare for the New Year with my parents.

   On the other side, Mu Yan is heading for the capital with Li Yikan Er.

   "Master, this case has not been resolved for so long, will the higher-ups convict you?" Kan Er just finished speaking, a cool breeze poured into his mouth, and he quickly pulled his cloak to block it.

   They accompanied the young master to conduct open and unannounced visits in Lanxi County, but they didn't find even the slightest evidence that the teacher and others conspired against each other in private.

  Mr. Mu's family, for dozens of generations, are all farmers who can't read big characters, and there are not many people in the family who can write the word "Qiyantang".

  Mu Yan didn't speak, and rode the horse and galloped all the way.

   When this matter will end and what the result will be are just a sentence from above. And he can't express any opinions, just follow orders.

  In the past two years, His Majesty has dredged canals, sent people overseas, and built the city of Beiping. The money in the treasury has flowed out like water. And if he guessed correctly, His Majesty will send troops to crusade against the alien races in the north next year, and will take a large sum of money at that time.

   Didn’t you see those old men in the household department who were so worried that they could kill mosquitoes?

   If His Majesty makes a big move, the courtiers will definitely complain. His Majesty is also suspicious, worried that the courtiers and students all over the world will be dissatisfied with him, and worried about what actions they will do secretly. In order to carry out his plan smoothly, he must kill the chicken and respect the monkey.

   "Drive!"

  Mu Yan didn't explain to Li Yikan Er, just waved his whip and hurried on.

  Back to the capital, all the yamen have been sealed, but the yamen of Wucheng Bingmasi and Jinyiwei, which maintain law and order, will not be sealed for the New Year.

  Mu Yan went to the Jinyiwei yamen to report on his work, then went to the palace to report to Emperor Yongkang in detail, and took the reward back to the Mu Mansion.

  In Mu's Mansion, lanterns and colorful decorations have been hung everywhere to prepare to go to the old and welcome the new, and the servants are busy and brisk.

  Mu Yan first went to her own courtyard to freshen up, and then went to greet Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Tai.

  At Mrs. Tai's place, Mu Wang knew that he was back, and the monkey was in Mrs. Tai's room. Seeing Mu Yan coming in, he raised his head and looked at him proudly.

  A few days ago, he had received an annual gift from his father and mother. His mother did not forget him and sent him a lot of things. He also told him in the letter that his father had written to His Majesty to ask his elder brother to be his son.

   The second and third shifts are in the afternoon
