Fight the Giants

  The three boys looked at each other.

  Although Youqing and the first day of the junior high school are one or two years older than Huo Nian, Huo Nian has practiced martial arts by himself and drank a lot of milk powder. In the past two years, he has grown rapidly. He is about the same stature as the two of them.

   "Sister, will they be my bookboys in the future?"

  Seeing that his sister had gone on a long trip, he brought back two schoolboys for himself, Huo Nian looked at them both carefully.

  Huo Xi nodded, she hoped that Chuyi and Youqing would follow Huo Nian, accompany him, and be loyal to him.

   "Storyboys are not suitable either, they will be your companions in the future."

   "What is a companion?"

   "Companions mean that they are not just your bookboys and servants, but also your most loyal partners in the future."

   "Youqing, on the first day of junior high school, I met the young master."

  Huo Nian was at a loss. Bao Kang is by his side, he is in a special situation, Huo Nian loves him, treats him as a family member, Zhufeng taught him martial arts, he regards Zhufeng as his master. Now that the first day of junior high school and Youqing are here, are they his companions?

   "From now on, let's read characters together, learn martial arts together, and play together." Huo Nian had never been kneeled before, so he hurriedly helped the two of them up.

  Chu Yi and You Qing smiled at Huo Nian, they will belong to the young master from now on.

  Bao Kang squeezed over, "Xiaokang is also a companion." He looked at Chuyi and Youqing very angrily, and didn't want them to stay by Nian'er's side.

  Seeing that he was angry, Huo Nian quickly comforted him: "Xiaokang is a family member and a companion."

  Bao Kang just laughed, and glared at Youqing and the first day of junior high school: "I am also a companion, and Xiaokang comes first!" He swore his status.

  Youqing and the first day of junior high school already knew about Bao Kang's situation, and they sympathized with him in their hearts, and held his hand: "Brother Xiaokang."

  Hearing someone call him brother, Bao Kang immediately became happy, and nodded fiercely, "Well, let's play together in the future. I am very strong, and I will protect you from now on."

  The four of them quickly talked together, mumbling together.

Huo Xi looked at it with a smile, turned to Zhufeng and said: "In the future, you will work harder, and you will also teach You Qinghe Chu a punching and kicking kung fu. You will not be overwhelmed by too many skills. Not to mention protecting Nian'er, it is also good for them. Nian'er travels, I feel more at ease."

  Seeing the loyalty of the second class from Li Yikan to Mu Yan, Huo Xi has decided to imitate Mu Yan's grandfather and find more people for Nian'er.

   "Yes." Zhufeng nodded in response.

  Knowing that Huo Xi was back, Shen Qianzhong came to look for her after returning from the shop.

   "Is all the goods in the warehouse?"

"Yes. They have all been counted and put into storage. The two thousand pieces of Shu brocade, according to my owner's instructions, are stored in the warehouse and not sold to the public." Shu brocade can also be sold at a high price in Beijing, but it is still not as good as being shipped overseas. Price.

  Huo Xi nodded, she was going to send the two thousand pieces of Shu brocade overseas, and she didn't plan to sell them in Beijing.

  Tell him about what she has seen and heard in Beijing and what she has done this time.

   "At the beginning of next year, the Tianjin Wharf will be completed. From now on, there will be an additional boat trip to Beiping, Tianjin to transport grain. Two more boat trips are also acceptable. The warehouse at the wharf is large enough to put it there."

   "Yes. The owner's investment in Tianjin and Beiping this time is considered a big deal. It's just that the relocation of the capital may not be possible in the past few years. I'm afraid it will be vacant."

   "It's okay to be vacant. Now that the emperor has chosen an auspicious place in Changping, not to mention other businesses, but only civil and military officials, they will all be moved by the wind. We don't have many connections. It is better to be vacant than not to be able to buy."

   "What the boss said is true. I will go to Peiping early next year to see the situation there. I will also check and accept for the boss."

"Okay. I left Su Zhe in Beiping and Yuan Sheng in Tianjin. I brought their letters back. You can help deliver them to their homes. They may be in the north for the next two years. Let's see if their homes are in good condition. If there are family members who want to go north to take care of them, you can help arrange one or two."

   "Okay, I'll make arrangements. By the way, the owner came back in time, and the Longxing ship sent a wedding invitation. The owner Pei's family will marry a daughter on the fifteenth day of next month, and invited the owner's family."

   As he spoke, he handed a bronzing wedding invitation to Huo Xi.

  Huo Xi opened it, looked at it, and accepted it. "Okay, then I will come to congratulate you."

  Seeing that she accepted it, Shen Qianzhong shook his head and smiled wryly, "During the past few months when my boss was away, I have attended many wedding banquets. The gift money I gave was enough to buy two houses in the outer city."

  After Guangfengshui signed a five-year contract with the guard, he went to Dongyang and returned safely last year. This year, both Dongyang and Nanyang went to sea again. It's not just that the merchants who made good friends in the past are more closely connected, but also the rest of the merchants in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce come to post about major and minor matters.

   Not only these merchants, but also the guards, there are thousands of households, officials and servants in Jingzhao Mansion Yamen who usually take advantage of it, as long as they have good deeds, no matter how big or small, they will post to Guangfeng Shuixia.

  Guangfengshui sent out a lot of gifts every year.

  Huo Xi and Shen Qianzhong looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

   No way, their merchants want to do business safely in the capital, these human contacts are indispensable.

   "Boss, our family is at a disadvantage. There is no happy event, so we can collect gift money."

  The owner’s big wedding can collect a gift money, but first, it will take many years, and second, few people know who Guangfeng Shui’s owner is.

  The boss doesn't want to show up either. It's a bit of a disadvantage if I can't get in and out of my own house.

   "My uncle, when he comes back safely this year, my mother will be planning his wedding next year. We can also collect a gift money at that time."

  Huo Xi couldn't help laughing.

Shen Qianzhong shook his head and laughed, "But Yang Fu's status is not enough. The second shopkeeper of Guangfengshui got married, and the people who came were just some small stewards. When will our family get back the favors sent out? .”

  No way, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back.

  Who makes one's family not as big as other people's? As for Dong Pei's family in Longxing, there are quite a few prostitutes and prostitutes, and there are also many unmarried sons.

  Huo Xi suddenly felt distressed.

  The next day, Huo Xi took two maids to the women's workshop.

  Qin Huaiyu greeted her in person, "You've been away for a few months, are you out of your mind? Nian'er went to do homework in front of my grandfather, and was distracted several times."

  Since the matter between Yang Fu and Qin Huaiyu was discussed, the two families became more intimate. When Qin Huaiyu spoke to her, his tone became more familiar and less polite and alienated.

  Her mother even had some good things, so she sent them to the prospective sister-in-law.

  Usually her father sends some fish and shrimps to the city, and her mother also sends a share to the Qin family. She just arrived home yesterday, and before she had time to divide her things, her mother picked up a lot of local products and sent them to the Qin family.

   "There are too many things to do in the north, and I can't leave for a while. Fortunately, I have many things to do. If it weren't for..." If she hadn't been escorted by the stingy and cold-faced young master, she might still be in Beiping.

   "It's good to come back. It will be cold soon, and it will be colder in the north. By then, the river will freeze and it will be difficult to walk."

  Huo Xi nodded in agreement, and went with her to watch the workshop girls work.

   Seeing that under Qin Huaiyu's supervision, the work of the female workers has become more and more refined, and I am satisfied. "It seems that working for others is completely different from working for yourself."

  Qin Huaiyu blushed from being teased by Huo Xi, and made a gesture to hit her.

  Seeing her shyness, Huo Xi laughed loudly.

  The two quarreled for a while and then got down to business.
