598 Confluence

"There are also five-yuan medium coins and ten-yuan large coins..." Xu Dongbei nodded and said, "There are also bills!"

Xu Yue: "When will the tickets be used?"

Xu Dongbei held two straw animals in one hand and two coins in the other, drew a big circle, and said:

"So many large coins can be exchanged for bills. The bills can be deposited in the Xu Family People's Bank, and the money can make money."

Xu Yue corrected, "It's not so much. If you have more than 10,000 yuan, you can exchange it into paper notes. You can trade bulk items in the bank. The money stored in the bank is called a bank note. The bank keeps property for the people, so it has to charge customers

Part of the custody interest.”

"Do you understand now?" Xu Yue grabbed Xu Dongbei's little hand and took back his two small coins.

Xu Dongbei's little face is full of loss and longing. The child has grown up, now has the concept of money, and wants to have it.

Used to buy lots and lots of little toys!

"Understood." Xu Dongbei nodded, not sure whether he really understood or pretended to understand. He lowered his head and continued to play with his two new toys, and would tease his sister from time to time.

Unfortunately, Xu Pingyuan had no interest in such little things. He slapped his brother on the face and gave a serious warning:

"Brother can't disturb my sister while she's reading!"

Xu Dongbei felt so wronged that he wanted to cry but dared not.

Xu Yue felt funny in her heart, and she deliberately made a serious face to teach Xu Pingyuan not to hit people indiscriminately.

After calming down the little girl, he hugged the aggrieved boy and played with him with puppies and little yellow ducks.

The little guy soon became cheerful again.

The horses put on the poo bags and slowly drove the carriage into the city.

Noisy noises immediately rang around. Xu Yue opened the car window again, lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked at the street outside.

It's busier than Beidu, with numerous shops and pedestrians. Most of the men and women walking around wear woolen hats, towels, and gloves to protect themselves from the cold.

The clothes on the body are relatively simple, but there are also many people wearing Confucian shirts and skirts. This kind of clothing can tell at a glance that the family is well-off and has no shortage of fabrics.

But what showed even more superiority were the merchants wearing leather jackets and cotton trousers with their hands full of coins.

In Xu Jiajun's place, the status of businessmen is no longer at the bottom.

The old nobles and families who surrendered had various taboos, respected low-key luxury, and did not dare to show off.

It's different for businessmen who make a lot of money. Because they are freed from the constraints of status, they must be the first to wear whatever is most fashionable nowadays.

What surprised Xu Yue the most was that she actually saw a rouge shop selling "cosmetics".

Wearing makeup is a top luxury behavior for Daqing people.

And because of the limitations of technology, the craftsmen who made cosmetics were monopolized by the upper class nobles and were kept at home, specializing in providing cosmetics such as lead powder, lip balm, and perfume for the ladies of the family.

Therefore, for ordinary people, let alone makeup, there is not even a shop selling rouge in the city.

However, it is human nature to love beauty. If there is nothing to sell, everyone just does it on their own, but the results are uneven and strange.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

This rouge shop in Hejian County is different. The products displayed inside are uniformly packaged, and the quality is clearly good. The color concentration is very high, and it looks quite textured.

There are so many young and old girls going in and out of the store, and basically no one comes out empty-handed. This shows that the price is appropriate and most people can afford it.

"Who opens this shop?" Xu Yue couldn't help but be a little curious about the owner of this shop.

Xu Dalang heard Didigu in the carriage and asked sideways: "Sister, do you want to take a look?"

Xu Yue refused, "No, let's go to the government office to meet my parents and sisters first."

Xu Dalang should be well.

The twins in the car heard their mother-in-law being mentioned. The one who was reading stopped reading and the one who was playing with toys stopped looking forward to seeing Xu Erniang as soon as possible.

Xu Dalang threw off his riding whip and drove towards the government office.

Pedestrians on the street saw Xu Jiajun behind the car and consciously moved aside to avoid it.

Soon, the Hejian County Government Office arrived.

The government office here has not been touched much, mainly because Yuan Song was willing to spend money, and the government office has been repaired very solidly. Now the Xu Jiajun only need to make some minor changes to the original government office.

The entire government office still maintains its original antique style. There are two stone lions standing in front of the door, exuding an inviolable majesty.

Xu Dalang parked the carriage. Xu Jiajun, who was standing guard at the door, was an old man in the army. He recognized the tall young man who got off the carriage at a glance.

"Major General!"

The soldiers on guard gave a military salute excitedly, and one of them immediately came forward to greet him.

Xu Dalang nodded expressionlessly and returned the salute. The soldiers who came to greet him were so excited that they breathed a little heavier.

The adoring gaze was so hot that Xu Dalang couldn't bear it.

Fortunately, the car door opened quickly, and Xu Yue's appearance diverted the enthusiasm of the soldiers standing guard for him.

"Hello, chief!" the soldiers saluted in unison.

Xu Yue smiled at them and nodded, then turned around and followed her two nephews out of the carriage.

The luggage was still in the car, so Xu Dalang asked the two soldiers from the tribe battalion who followed him to take the carriage and luggage to his residence first.

He led Xu Yue and the twins into the government office gate.

When the officials heard the commotion, they turned around and saw two young men walking in with two children. The young officials who had just joined the job looked curiously at the four of them.

It wasn't until they heard the old man in the government office calling out the identity of the newcomer that the newcomers realized that the person walking in front of them was the legendary female leader and the murderous young general.

Wait, these two children who look exactly the same are the sons of God that the goddess took in her dream?

Xu Dongbei and Xu Pingyuan have long been used to this kind of gaze. They held their right hands in front of their chests and smiled at these officials, "Great God of Light~"

Upon hearing this oracle, everyone present subconsciously responded with arms crossed.

By the time they came to their senses, the four of them had been led into the side hall by Yuan Song, who had come to greet them.

Wang Pingping sat in front of a long desk, signing military intelligence documents sent from various places and arranging various precautions during the New Year.

Xu Da was sitting on a recliner, with a red-burning stove on his left and a small table on his right with steaming soup and tea on the table.

With her long legs crossed, she sips hot soup and tea from time to time, enjoying the leisurely annual vacation in advance.

Xu Erniang was wearing a long red dress, her hair was tied back in a very exquisite bun, with three green jade hairpins inserted diagonally on it, and her face was lightly painted with powder. She stood in front of a huge map with her hands behind her back, pacing and thinking about something.

As soon as the twins walked in, they saw the dazzling red color at a glance. They broke free from Xu Yue's hand and rushed over like little cannonballs!

"Aniang!"

An eager childish voice came from behind. Xu Erniang, who was in front of the map, slightly curved the corners of her mouth, turned around slowly, and happened to catch the two little guys rushing into her arms.
