Chapter 1156 1156: Difficult to do (Part 2) [Please vote]
Jimo autumn opened the tent curtain.
The people in the tent subconsciously turned their heads and looked over.
The four eyes looked at each other.
Jimo Qiu silently lowered the curtain, breathed, and opened it again.
The picture he saw in front of him did not change, which was enough to prove that he was not hallucinating. When Jimo Qiu was thinking about whether to leave for a while to give his elderly brother some private space, Gong Xiqiu asked doubtfully: "Brother, why don't you come in?"
?”
Looking down, he saw the food box in Jimo Qiu's hand.
Gong Xiqiu came forward as usual.
"What are you doing in the cafeteria today?"
The reconstruction of the old royal capital of Gao Kingdom is still in full swing, and there are still several small-scale resistance outside. The manpower in the camp is not very sufficient, and the food supply is limited. If you go late, you will only have leftovers. The only advantage is that every day
The dishes are different.
The taste is also remarkable.
Jimo Qiu put down the food boxes and arranged them one after another.
He ate in the cafeteria and gave this to Gong Xiqiu.
"What's wrong with your face?"
Gong Xiqiu's face was covered with a layer of snow-white putty, with only two eyes and one mouth exposed. Just when he turned to look at him, Jimo Qiu almost didn't recognize him, the impact was too great. Gong Xiqiu used a wooden spoon to
Add rice to the bowl and press every spoonful into it.
Jimo Qiu asked: "Is there any discomfort?"
Or is it that my older brother wants to learn how to dress up? Alas, dressing up is not like that. He is pretending to be a ghost.
"This is the pearl powder sent by Xu Wenshi."
"Pearl powder?"
"It's said to be a beautiful girl powder or a macho powder. It can keep the skin young and cover up traces." Gong Xiqiu explained while eating, "Many women in the Conservation Association like it. He relied on his connections to get a few boxes of it that have not yet been sold on the market.
I wanted my help to try out the effect of this product. It smelled pretty good, so I accepted it..."
The eldest brother is older than me.
Jimo Qiu was deeply impressed by Xu Wenshi.
The young man has always regarded his younger brother as a role model.
"What powder?"
Gong Xiqiu fetched the unused pearl powder.
The powder is fine and you can smell the faint peach blossom fragrance if you get close.
The pearl powder box also has elegant markings.
If you look closely, it’s the word “Yerong”.
Gong Xiqiu continued: "Before Alai's wedding, I saw several of these things on her dressing table."
If the effect is good, you can ask Xu Wenshi for a few more boxes to give to Alai. She seems to like these things very much. Jimo Qiu turned the things over and looked at them: "I did see similar ones in Fengluo before, and they were all on the boxes.
There are textured words.”
As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his arms.
Not pearl powder, but a balm.
Just by looking at the name, you can tell that it was produced by a workshop.
There is a portrait of a lady on the balm, and there is a poem next to it. There is a small string of small characters at the bottom, which is endorsed by a certain lady. She has said it well after using it. Jimo Qiu remembers that there are all kinds of balms and powders in that shop, and the same product is also on it.
There will be different portraits.
The content of the small print is much the same.
Different scent colors are endorsed by different people.
At that time, Jimo Qiu only picked out the balm he liked, but the men and women who came to the shop to buy were different. They seemed to be here to collect the complete set, and they also asked emphatically about the "limited edition".
At that time, Jimo Qiu was curious and asked the lady who was waiting for customers in the shop what a limited edition was. The lady smiled and said what the spokesperson was, a series of blind boxes, in short it was a limited edition.
【Would a limited edition be better?】
The female monarch gently shakes the sword fan with a painting of a maid dancing a sword.
He smiled and said: [It will be more expensive.]
Pay attention to the price in Jimoqiu.
He found that those so-called limited editions were really half as expensive as the regular editions he had, but those limited editions were snapped up by a group of people as soon as they came out. Either he came in person, or he sent his maids who were in charge of the family to come, and the money gave him great joy.
Afraid that he might not be able to grab it if he was late, Jimo Qiu secretly paid attention to those limited editions and found that the portraits on them were indeed different.
For those that no one has a portrait of, the background patterns are different flowers, grasses and landscapes, and the characters at the bottom are of the same style as so and so. The ointment that Jimo Qiu likes is said to be [Same Style as Qin Jun], and he used it at the court one day. The Lord of the Kingdom
After smelling it, I asked specifically what the fragrance was.
【Who is Qin Jun?】
[Master Qin, Qin Li, Qin Gongsu!]
He likes this balm that combines orchid and green bamboo.
[Isn’t that a court official? 】
[There are so many people named Qin in the world.]
If the court or the Lord of Qin wanted to pursue it, it would be difficult to pursue it. After all, it did not have the three characters Qin Gongsu printed on it. Even if it was printed, would it be difficult to find someone with the same name and surname in Kang State? This area is a gray area, and the government will turn a blind eye.
Close one eye and pay high taxes diligently every year, how can the big people care about it?
Every time a new model is launched, it is sent to Qin Jun.
Of course, this is only a superficial reason.
The real reason is that the owner of [Yue Rong] is a colleague of Qin Jun.
Jimo Qiu looked at the pearl powder box in his hand, and then looked at his elderly brother. He felt that it would not be long before a brand of jade girl powder/macho man with the words "Same as Gongxi Jun" and "Specially provided by Gongxi Qiu Conservation Association"
The powder will also be on sale, and maybe there will be a limited edition version of the portrait of Gongxi Qiu. Seeing that Jimo Qiu could not hold it, Gongxi Qiu thought he also wanted to use pearl powder for maintenance.
"Brother, I'll give you two boxes."
Jimo Qiu put the box down: "No need."
It’s hard to say in one sentence: “With your strength, you don’t need to take care of yourself.”
Gong Xiqiu's appearance has always been stable at twenty-five or six, with abundant energy and blood and delicate texture. Is it necessary to maintain it?
"Always keep up with the preferences of young people."
Whether your appearance looks old or not is secondary, your inner state must keep up.
Jimo Qiu did not comment on this, but just reminded his brother: "If Xu Wenshi comes back to tell you something, and needs your help, such as painting a portrait of you, remember to ask him for money."
Gong Xiqiu, who was immersed in his meal, quietly raised his eyes.
"Why?"
"Limited Edition."
It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, what matters is the limited edition.
Jimo Qiu suspected that Xu Wenshi was trying to trick his younger brother into helping him make money, so it would not be wrong to remind him first. Gong Xiqiu said he would make a note of it.
But Xu Wenshi was not seen for several days.
However, Xu Wenshi's bodyguards delivered gifts to Gong Xiqiu on time.
Since he has received so many things for nothing, Gong Xiqiu has to pay attention to the situation of this little fanboy: "I haven't seen your general in the past few days. Is there something important that can't come?"
The guard said: "My general has received the king's order."
When Gong Xiqiu heard this, he didn't ask any more questions.
Even colleagues cannot reveal their respective tasks at will.
Xu Quan showed up the next day.
Gong Xiqiu, in the posture of a brave totem, was sitting on the highest point of the city tower basking in the sun. He had been busy working in the morning, and now he was going to take a nap to recover. When Xu Wenshi's breath approached from outside the city, he noticed it.
He raised his snake's head alertly, glanced over there and then turned back. The old king of Gao Kingdom had several city gates, and this location was the most remote. Most of the nearby houses were where poor people lived together. Fortunately, the fire point in the capital was far away from here.
The place should be relatively far away, otherwise the fire would not allow many people here to escape.
The reconstruction here was also the latest to start.
There are only your own people and not many common people.
Gong Xiqiu didn't want to talk to him at first, but soon he noticed that Xu Wenshi and his group were sneaking around. As the distance got closer, an indescribable rotten stench became stronger. Gong Xiqiu narrowed his snake eyes, and Xu Quan
Also noticing his presence, he rushed to the convoy behind him and waved to them to enter the city quietly: "Why is General Gongxi here?"
Xu Quan was forced back by an invisible force before he even got close.
There was no malicious intent in this power. Xu Quan followed the force and looked at the owner of the power in surprise. He didn't understand why Gong Xiqiu suddenly rejected him. Gong Xiqiu: "You went to dig a grave?"
Xu Quan's eyes suddenly became erratic and he felt guilty.
Gong Xiqiu was not an outsider either. He had guessed it, so he no longer concealed it: "Basically all the major families in the capital of Gao Kingdom were killed or injured in the fire. There will be no descendants left to offer sacrifices in the future. They
Keeping the ancestral graves also takes up space."
Taking advantage of the chaos, everything was secretly dug up to supplement military use.
Previously, he had urged the Ministry of Household Affairs to pay for the army. Xun Shangshu had been saying that he had lost blood in the war. Xu Quan also knew the seriousness of the problem. Other colleagues targeted the ancestral graves of the aristocratic families. There is a custom of lavish burials in the Gao Kingdom. After the family members of the aristocratic family are buried, there are many funerary objects.
.
Dead people don't know how to use it, so it would be a waste to bury it in the ground.
Xu Quan has been busy with this matter these days.
Regardless of whether this family has no descendants or there are still descendants alive, I would like to visit them all. Because of the trend of comparison with rich burials, this trip is very fruitful. The income from digging graves is enough to feed an army of 10,000 people in March and May. This is also thanks to the king.
The great fire in the capital and the bloody battle at the Royal Tombs severely damaged the vitality of the Gaoguo family, and it was difficult to protect themselves. Otherwise, the major families would jump out to oppose it, which would be more or less resistance.
The remnants of the aristocratic family realized that their ancestral graves were long gone.
Xu Quan came back at a relatively coincidental time.
The soldiers and horses transporting the funerary objects were walking towards each other as a few bloody men were dragged out. As they got closer, they could still hear the curses in their mouths. The content was nothing more than scolding Shen Tang for digging ancestral graves, throwing human corpses, and disturbing ancestors. , committed countless harmful and serious crimes.
Xu Quan listened twice and turned his face away.
When he turned around, his lips moved twice.
【You ungrateful animal.】
The bloody man who was dragged out suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Wenshi in disbelief. Then he looked at the baggage trucks covered with coarse cloth behind Xu Wenshi's horse. He seemed to have thought of something and his eyes were split. He struggled to get on. In front of him, he couldn't break free. Xu Quan only heard more screams and curses coming from behind him, and laughed.
In thousands of years of troubled times, isn’t it normal to dig up ancestral graves to supply military supplies?
They are considered civilized. At least they did not throw the bones of their ancestors everywhere, nor did they destroy the corpses. Instead, they washed the corpses, wrapped them in white cloth and put the tablets in their original places. Alas, it is rare to see such polite and civilized people in troubled times. Touch the golden captain.
Xu Quan made a smooth transition.
While drinking water, I asked the guards a few more questions.
The guard said: "These people come to make noise every day, and are beaten out every time. The Lord is merciful. Why do you keep such a few bad things? Are you going to let them ruin your reputation?"
Xu Quan warned quietly.
"How can you figure out the Lord's intention?"
The guard hurriedly knelt down and admitted his mistake.
Xu Quaandao: "Only by being careful in your words and deeds can you live a long life."
The bodyguard responded in a cold sweat.
Xu Quan was not too harsh. He softened his tone with a warning and asked his bodyguards if they had any letters from home. Previously, the war was tense and it was difficult to send family letters, so they could only be sent to the rear areas, and the bodyguards would respond on their behalf. Now the war is completely over, and communications have been restored. .
The guard said: "Yes."
I have kept all the letters from home.
"Also, has the painter of [Yue Rong] arrived?"
Since the development of the Gongxiqiu Conservation Association, the scale has expanded to more than 30,000 people, a large number of whom are the children of courtiers and have strong spending power. They are gradually dissatisfied with the pursuit of the same hair accessories as their idols. At a conference, they proposed customizing the same hair accessories as their idols. This product is proposed as an internal benefit for members of the Conservation Association.
As the president, Xu Quan is bound to do this!
It's just that the plan hasn't been implemented yet, so we have to go to the battlefield to fight.
It has been stranded for more than a year.
Gong Xiqiu is here, the opportunity cannot be missed, the time will never come again!
Xu Quan quickly contacted [Yue Rong] through Lin Feng’s connections. Lin Feng responded that [Yue Rong] was very interested and hoped to make two styles, one for the conservation association and one for sale. A limited series, if the sales volume is good, you will get a share. The profit part can be used as membership fees, which can be used to organize membership activities in the future. Well, I forgot to mention that the vice president of the association is Shen Tang.
_(:з ∠)_
The owner of the country wants five points of net profit.
Everything went smoothly and Xu Quan was in a good mood.
This good mood lasted until I saw the letter from home.
Looking at the latest, painted home letter, Xu Quan's expression was confused, dull, horrified, embarrassed and then furious!
"Brother, brother..."
Xu Quan was so angry that his fingers trembled.
He just imitates his idol and focuses on martial arts, and is not in the mood to start a family for the time being. His brother is so cruel that he hopes to let him have a good relationship with his idol! Xu Wenzhu, have you forgotten the gender of the cousin you raised? Or is it that the clan members
The situation was so bad that he actually wanted to marry him to Gongxi Qiu in exchange for peace?
Brother, he...
Could it be that I have made a huge mistake?
For a time, Xu Quan's face was completely white, almost bloodless.
However, this is not the most terrible thing.
The most terrible thing is that when Uncle Zhao heard the news about his return, he came over with a smile to inquire about the income from digging graves. Zhao Feng has been in a happy mood recently. As a military commander who has been in the first volume, he walks with wind. He patted Xu Quan on the shoulder with his big palm of the cattail leaf fan.
: "What is Wen Shi thinking about?"
This slap caused the family book in his hand to fall to the ground.
Xu Quan was still distracted, while Zhao Feng bent down to pick up the family letter.
I accidentally read all the key content.
His pupils shrank suddenly, and Zhao Feng's expression was horrified, as if he had seen a ghost.
Xu Quan reacted and hurriedly explained: "Uncle Zhao——"
Zhao Feng couldn't believe it: "Xu Wenzhu, is he crazy?"
He looked up at Xu Quan.
The young man in his late thirties had tears in his eyes.
"Uncle Zhao, save my nephew!" No, he had to find someone to suppress his cousin. He couldn't let his cousin go crazy. He could sit down and discuss big things, and there was no need to push him out!
Zhao Feng took a deep breath.
"For the current plan, we can only go to the Lord."
Shen Tang is not in the main tent at the moment but at Xun Zhen's side.
Crackling, crackling.
The jade arithmetic beads made a sweet and crisp sound when fiddled with by Xun Zhen's long fingers, and his face was filled with an unstoppable smile. He did the calculations, and Shen Tang read another. The monarch and the minister had never seen each other before in their lives.
The national treasury can be so abundant because the second batch of ancestral property from the Jimo Qiu tribe has just arrived. This batch is all golden and will not disappear.
"It's enough to defeat the Northern Desert and Gao Kingdom again."
Xun Zhen's eyes were eager.
"It's developed well, I'll attack the southwest next, and wait for Shaomei to send back the good news. My incarnation in the southwest Qi country, 'Wuyou', has set up a small job with the help of Kewu. If done properly, it will have miraculous effects."
The Cui family is very important in Qi State.
Appointments there do not require personal approval from the head of the country, but are recommended, and Cui Hui's role in the process is crucial.
