Drawing the sword and putting it away, Song Yuzhi was panting from exhaustion on the high platform of the mountain city, with a blush on his face.
Although there are only eight styles of the Heavenly Sword, they are unpredictable. There are thousands of swords to be used, and the mysteries are endless. Every time she practices the sword, she has a deeper understanding.
After practicing his sword skills, Song Yuzhi looked around, but he didn't see the little yellow cat who could sleep all day long except for eating, drinking and having fun.
Could it be that you are admiring the gift from your second brother in the room?
With a blink of an eye, Song Yuzhi tiptoed quietly into Le Ye's yard like a sneaky kitten.
When she arrived at Tmall Courtyard, the girl's eyes widened.
Two girls who were about the same height as her, wearing black skirts that were as short as her thighs, which made their skin look fairer, were actually pressing her father's favorite colorful golden pheasant into the basin and trying hard to pluck the feathers.
Apparently the golden pheasant didn't like this kind of service, so it struggled hard, splashing water all over the two women's bodies, making the branches tremble and uttering coquettish words.
Next to him, Le Ye was leaning on a chair, clasping his paws on his chest, tilting his mouth, looking at it with gusto.
"Okay, Le Ye, what are you doing?"
Song Yuzhi was very angry, even angry. It turned out that the gift given by his second brother was this, and he was not a good person.
The little yellow cat was startled and quickly began to quibble: "Meow."
[Your father's favorite golden pheasant fell into the water. I was afraid that the chicken would catch cold, so I asked the two new maids to help it pluck all its feathers, and put it in hot water to warm it later. ]
Song Yuzhi:???
Convinced!
"Take me one!" the girl said happily.
When she was a child, this chicken dared to chase her and peck her butt because of her father's favor. Today, she can finally take revenge.
…
After a while, the girl was very satisfied and went out, her face shiny.
"Hiccup~"
After burping and looking around, the girl loosened her belt and walked away.
The Song family is a gentry family with many rules, including requirements for walking, sitting and lying down. For example, her second brother Song Shidao must comply with Han family etiquette in every word and deed.
But she was different. As long as Le Ye slept on her head since she was a child, the teacher would not dare to interfere, so she was the freest person in the entire Song family.
It was Song Que who felt very uncomfortable every time he saw her sleeping, eating, and walking in a posture similar to Le Ye's. She was lazy and did whatever she wanted, and the 'Tiandao' hesitated to speak.
"Yuzhi, I've been looking for you for a long time." Song Zhi walked towards him.
Song Zhi is dressed in the attire of a scribe, with a slender figure, graceful demeanor, a beard and a sweet smile.
"Second uncle!"
Song Yuzhi quickly stood up.
All matters concerning the Song family, including the salaries of members of the Song family, are paid by her second uncle, so she maintains basic etiquette for the sake of money.
"Look at you, your mouth is full of oil. You don't look like a lady at all. Wipe it off first. I have something important to do with you." Song Zhi reluctantly handed over a brocade handkerchief.
"Oh~" Song Yuzhi didn't care. He took the brocade handkerchief and wiped it casually, which was more casual than wiping his butt.
I have to say that the maid hired by this second brother is very good and has good skills.
After a while.
The two came to a relatively remote courtyard.
"Yuzhi, haven't you always wanted to leave the Song family's mountain city and go out for fun? Yesterday, my eldest brother agreed to Yang Jian's invitation and sent you to Daxing City to run my Song family's residence." Song Zhi said slowly.
Song Yuzhi's eyes lit up.
Ever since she was a child, as long as she could remember, she and Le Ye had been running up and down the mountain town and having fun everywhere. Although it was a big place, she got tired of it after ten years.
She has always wanted to get on the family boat with her second brother and go see the outside world.
When she was a child, every time her second brother came back, what she looked forward to most was not the vulgar treasures, but listening to him vividly talk about the beautiful scenery she saw outside and the things he saw that were different from Lingnan.
The autumn wind in the north is bleak, and everything is withering. In the far north, thousands of miles of snow is drifting, and hundreds of animals are hiding. In the grassland, I have seen the endless green, with cattle and sheep everywhere, and I have also seen the land covered with mineral sand, and the sky and the earth are cracked.
In the south, flowers are blooming and life is revived. There will also be rain falling like a curtain and floods raging. In the East China Sea, I have seen the endless sea with undulating waves. I have also seen the sky and water meet, and the fish and birds are free.
This world is so beautiful!
"Okay, second uncle, when should we leave? Now?" Song Yuzhi said happily.
Song Zhi:.
He originally thought that this niece often spent time with Le Ye, and had contracted the mythical beast's bad habit of eating and being lazy. He had prepared all kinds of excuses, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.
Sure enough, the children of the Song family are all good children.
"Don't worry, I need to prepare first. This time, with Yang Jian's guidance, we can take a whole fleet to Daxing to do business." Song Zhi said with a smile.
These are unspoken rules. Under normal circumstances, with so many fleets doing business through the canal, of course they have to go through layers of exploitation.
Although the Song family is not afraid of those governors, generals and the like at all, they will also give the Song family face.
But the king of hell is easy to deal with, but the devil is difficult to deal with. If you don't give those people some sweetness, and sometimes do some disgusting things, it will make you feel uncomfortable for several days.
With Yang Jian's invitation letter, it was different. They could directly hang the royal flag, and everything would be unimpeded.
"Oh~" Song Yuzhi seemed to understand: "Second uncle, I'm going back to clean up now, do you need me to make any preparations?
Moreover, would it be dangerous for my daughter to live alone in Daxing? I'm afraid!"
Song Zhi's mouth twitched.
I'm scared too!
This girl has been with Le Ye since she was a child, practicing swordsmanship. Even now he can't figure out the strength of this niece.
He was afraid that if the people from Daxing City somehow offended this little ancestor, she would go on a killing spree in the city. How would the Song family give Yang Jian an explanation at that time?
Is there another fight?
"Second uncle, please tell me, at least bring me ten or eight elite members of the clan?" Song Yuzhi asked worriedly.
To prepare for a rainy day, she has been with Mr. Le since she was a child. Of course, she has many of the same habits as him, such as: repeatedly confirming that someone can't beat her, and then directly recognizing him as her father!
Although this habit is very enjoyable, it is very easy to get beaten.
Song Zhi was silent for a moment, always feeling that he was going to release something big.
"Master Le has made an agreement with me a long time ago. He happens to be bored at home, so he will also go.
When the time comes, you can rest assured that in a place like Daxing, no one in our Song family can beat Le Ye. If they can’t beat Le Ye, they won’t dare to take action against you.
Of course, before I go to Daxing, I have a very important task for you."
Song Yuzhi was curious: "What's going on? Are you asking me to do business? It's simple. What I'm good at is settling accounts.
Second uncle, let me tell you, of the money I receive every month, I hide a whole ten cents of private money to buy myself candied haws, you know, this is under Le Ye’s eyes!"
Song Zhi:.
"Ah? Isn't it financial management?
Could it be that I am allowed to make friends with dignitaries from various families in Daxing? That would be great. Second uncle, let me tell you, although I have not learned many other skills in these years, I have already mastered eating, drinking and having fun.
The true biography of Le Ye.
As long as you give me money, I guarantee that all the ladies and gentlemen in Daxing will know me!"
The more Song Yuzhi talked, the happier he became. Four words were written on this delicate face: Foolish people have too much money.
Song Zhi shook his head helplessly: "It's not necessary to make money. Our Song family's caravans travel all over the world without any hindrance. There are countless things like money.
If you are not afraid that your descendants will lose their fortune, let them find something to do and exercise. The gold and silver treasures stored in several treasure houses of our Song family alone can last for hundreds of years.
As for making connections, there is no need. As the legitimate daughter of the Song family, as long as you live there, there will be countless people trying their best to make friends with you and establish relationships with you. You just need to pay attention to your dignity.
There are only two things you have to do: First: Lingnan is too remote, too far from the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it had a very bad reputation before, due to the miasma of poisonous insects, moisture, and toxins, so many "talents" are unwilling to come here.
.
If we want to build Lingnan well, we need a large number of professional talents: blacksmiths, craftsmen, mechanics, warlocks, farmers, women, etc. Anyone who is in this field needs your attention.
No matter what trouble others cause, it doesn't matter even if they cause trouble to the royal family or the three great clans, we can pay for their lives, no matter how much it is.
Yuzhi, you have to remember that in the Song family, problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
Second: and most importantly, Le Ye seems to be in the period of moulting recently. Fortunately, in the mountain city, we have a dedicated maid responsible for checking and picking up.
But when you get outside, you have to pay attention to collecting Le Ye's hair. This is a truly priceless treasure. The value of any one hair is more than ten thousand taels of silver.
The specific use will be known when you go out later."
Song Yuzhi was startled.
Is it true? Then doesn’t she guard the treasure mountain all day long without knowing it?
Got it, I’m going to pluck Le Ye tonight when I give her a bath! But will it make Le Ye angry and then pluck her hair in turn?
Oh, now that I think about it, she has no hair, so that’s okay!
…
A few days later, the Song family mountain city.
The mountain city is located at the confluence of the Yushui River, facing water on three sides and towering majestic mountains.
The stone city rises from the mountainside and is built according to the mountain. It winds along the mountain. The main building stands on the large flat land opened up by the mountain. The situation is steep and has the spirit of a man in charge.
The mountains and plains near Junlin, facing Yulin County from a distance, symbolize the power of the Song family to dominate the safety of the entire Lingnan region.
Dozens of large warehouses and hundreds of large and small docks have also been built along the Yu River. The docks are full of large and small ships, and traffic on the river is continuous and prosperous.
Song Yuzhi, a small man with only a long knife, stood on the pier and exclaimed: "It's so spectacular!"
Miao Le:.
Look, this is illiteracy!
Turning around and looking back, I saw that winding up the mountain, on a ramp that could accommodate five horses galloping abreast, there were already more than a dozen men in green clothes and fine clothes sent by the Song family pulling horses with all kinds of clothes, money, and decorations.
Everyone was in high spirits, strong and strong, and all of them were strong players. These people looked at the little yellow cat lying on Song Yuzhi's shoulder with admiration and respect.
"Yuzhi, what, did you see anything?" Song Zhi asked with a smile.
The girl scanned her hometown up and down, looked left and right, and finally said: It looks good!
Song Zhi:.
As expected of you.
After a moment of silence, he slowly explained: "This mountain city consumed an unknown amount of manpower and material resources, and it still took three generations and more than a hundred years to build it to its current scale.
The city has a long-term reserve of grain for more than a year, and there are springs, which are sweet and delicious. In addition, it is surrounded by mountains, with flowing water, and is rugged and dangerous.
In this way, even if there are tens of thousands of troops besieging us, our Song family does not have to worry about the safety of our rear.
Of course, the construction of this mountain city was mainly due to its uniqueness and danger. But without the wealth of Yulin County, the mountain city would only have a majestic appearance. Now it can complement each other, and with the advantages of water and land transportation, it can reach the whole country.
When your eldest sister married a Sichuan and Sichuan tycoon: Jie family, the main reason why our Song family didn't have any objections was that they could serve as my first barrier to Lingnan."
Song Yuzhi nodded, thoughtfully.
This is the advantage of having a big family. No matter how big or small things are, or how to deal with others, there are always people who will teach you through words and deeds.
Only by seeing these things can you know how to do them.
As for those children from poor families, they can only think about one thing every day: what to eat.
What's more important is that the rich will continue to engage in various kinds of exploitation, so that the poor cannot have time to rest. If they have time to spare, they will think too much.
This person will do some bad things if he thinks too much.
Then Song Yuzhi quickly called on his relatives to help move his pile of things to the ship. A total of ten large ships with four floors and nearly ten feet high were slowly loading various goods.
Half a day later, at noon, three flags were hoisted on the lead boat.
One side of the Song flag represents the identity of the Song family in the world. One side of the yellow dragon flag means that the fleet is heading to the capital under the emperor's order.
The last one is a little yellow cat, and the strange beast on it is grinning very fiercely.
Anyone with knowledge in the world knows that if the Song family fleet flies this flag, it means that it is a direct lineage of the Song family traveling, and no one will be embarrassed, and even convenience will be provided when necessary.
Otherwise, if the "Tiandao" leaves the customs, it will be a convenience for them.
On the first boat, Song Zhi was the leader, and Song Yuzhi stood aside. A group of people were worshiping a tablet with serious expressions and offering incense respectfully.
People who go to sea are superstitious. They go in and out of the gate of hell every time. They need a belief.
When Song Yuzhi was offering incense, he quietly looked up and saw a little yellow cat on the memorial tablet.
Amid the smoke, Miao Le, who was yawning on the girl's shoulder, looked at the small shovel, then at the tablet, and fell into deep thought.
Reborn as Tmall, I became the protector of the sea?
"Let's go!" Song Yuzhi shouted happily while standing on the high deck.
The endless green lake, the gentle breeze, and the blue sky all told her that she was free!
It's so boring to hide at home all day long, so it's better to come out and have fun. She wants to take a good look at the beautiful scenery of the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers.
After a while.
"Ouch!" The girl lay on the deck facing the lake and kept vomiting.
Seasick, uncomfortable, and wanting to cry.
The little yellow cat sat directly on the girl's back and started grinning and teasing.
"Meow wow wow!"
"Niece, are you okay? How about we just stop the boat and wait for you for a while before leaving?" Song Zhi asked with concern.
Song Yuzhi's face was pale, and there was still unknown liquid at the corner of his mouth. He turned around and looked at his second uncle pitifully: "I want to go home, I won't go to Daxing, woo woo woo!"
Song Zhi was helpless.
Where was your youthful and energetic energy just now?
"It's okay. I'm not used to seasickness. You should be fine when you get to Daxing.
Yuzhi, you have to remember one thing. For those of us who practice martial arts, our biggest enemies are our own laziness and arrogance.
Persevere and be careful, and you will have a chance to become strong."
"Okay, uncle! Ugh! But how long does it take for us to arrive!"
"Three months!"
Song Yuzhi was dumbfounded, and Miao Le laughed even louder.
