men and women

It seems that not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Kyoto has already arrived in winter, the door is replaced with a thick windproof cloth curtain, the jacket on the body is thicker, the charcoal basin is lit in the room, and there is white mist in the breath of the speech.

Zeng Ma and Dai Mei were reconciling accounts, while Gu Xinyue was listening, and if she had any doubts, she would stop and ask a few questions.However, their account books have always been simple, and Gu Xinyue has no doubts, but within a stick of incense, it has been resolved.

"We're starting to prepare for the annual ceremony." Gu Xinyue said.

"The list has been drawn up. Shall I bring it here for you to have a look at?" Zeng Ma said.

"En." Gu Xinyue said, but within a stick of incense, the issue of the New Year's ceremony was also settled.Gu Xinyue clicked on the desktop, "Is there anything else to be done? It's so boring."

Zeng Ma looked at him with a smile, the young master's temperament has changed now, and he has become more active. In the past, he wished that nothing would bother him, and he could spend a day with a book. "Do you want to tidy up the master's private treasury? The master's annual gift is also prepared."

"Mama Zeng, take Daimei Heqing to tidy up." Gu Xinyue suddenly smiled when he thought of something, "I'm afraid that when I go to see his warehouse is empty, I won't be able to resist filling it up for him."

"The warehouse below Zhuangzi has brought Shi Qing over to sort it out in recent days, brought back the sorted things, and sent them to Que Ming and Yan Fei. They should have their own private warehouse." Gu Xinyue confessed.

"Yes." Zeng Ma said, "Right now, only the pawn shop is still open in the store, and it has been collecting things. Several warehouses are full. Your filial uncle has asked several times whether you want to bring some things over."

"Send me the brochure first, and I'll sort out what you want after I read it." Gu Xinyue said.

"Yes." Zeng Ma said.

Shen Queming was notified. The afternoon tea party held for the first time in her life was very successful and she made many new friends.Recently, I also shuttled among friends like a butterfly, because the party was completed with the help of Gu Xinyue, and when I got along with new friends, it was Gu Xinyue who arranged clothes and jewelry for her, and even put silver and vermilion beside her. A distinguished friend reminded her on the sidelines.

Shen Queming, who was already close to Gu Xinyue, was even more attached to him now. Fortunately, this time Shen Lishi would not intervene in every detail from head to toe, and Shen Queming would chirp and tell her interesting things by himself.

"Sister-in-law." Shen Que called out.

"The birdsong is here." Gu Xinyue said, "I didn't go out to play today."

"It doesn't seem interesting to go out every day." Shen Queming said, "They all know a lot, obviously we play together, but they can play piano, chess, calligraphy, horse riding, Western musical instruments, and dance. They also have a lot of knowledge, very I can talk." Shen Queming's tone was a little lost, "I can't do anything."

"Don't you know how to dance?" Gu Xinyue asked with a smile.

"How can you know how to dance if you only know one dance step?" Shen Queming pouted.

"Don't be envious, they study harder during the time you can't see playing, so they can lift weights like light when they are playing." Gu Xinyue said, "There is nothing you can't learn without learning."

Shen Queming scratched the table with his finger, not very happy.

"Want to learn?" Gu Xinyue asked.

Shen Queming's eyes lit up, "Is it okay?"

"I've never learned it before, can I still learn it? I'm stupid, and I can't learn it well." Shen Queming said discouragedly.

"If you want to think like this, you won't be able to learn anything well." Gu Xinyue said, "Find the one you are most interested in learning. Whether you learn it well or not is another matter, because it's as simple as learning it if you want to learn it. If it's for interpersonal communication, don't be shy. Then get a rough understanding of everything, so that you don’t have nothing to say when you encounter them in the future.”

"Then I want to learn how to ride a horse, can I?" Shen Queming looked at Gu Xinyue with sparkling eyes.

Gu Xinyue smiled and nodded at her, "He's waiting for me here on purpose."

Shen Queming smiled embarrassedly, "Mother, I always feel that those are rude. I was not a big family member before, but I was asked to be a lady of the family. But if my sister-in-law asked me to learn, my mother should have nothing to say."

"There is no Zhuangzi who can walk horses at home." Gu Xinyue said, "If you are at home in Guangzhou, you can ride horses to your heart's content."

"Is the house in Guangzhou big?" Shen Queming asked curiously.

"The house is not big, but the lawn is big." Gu Xinyue said.

"That's great." Shen Queming said with some yearning, "The skirts from Guangzhou that my sister-in-law brought back are also very beautiful. Many little sisters asked me to lend them the skirts, and they took them back and asked the tailor to make them according to the pattern."

"Really want to learn how to ride a horse?" Gu Xinyue said.

"Yeah." Shen Queming said, "Sister-in-law can do something."

Gu Xinyue just smiled but didn't nod.

When Shen Heli came back in the evening, Gu Xinyue told him his sister's wish, "Where is there a Zhuangzi who can run horses now?" He tried his best to satisfy.

"Can the front yard be extended to the side? If the existing lawn in front is bigger, she can feel at ease riding a horse right under the eyes of my mother." Gu Xinyue said.

"Then I'll ask the housekeeper to contact you tomorrow." Shen Heli said.

"Are you going to be busy at the end of the year?" Gu Xinyue asked.

"Well. I'm going to Shangjiang in two days. Do you want to go with me?" Shen Heli said.

Gu Xinyue shook his head, "I'm not going, you go and come back quickly."

"Oh, it's not that I'm going to have a long night again, and I don't want to sleep." Shen Heli pretended to sigh.

"Young poor." Gu Xinyue said.

Jiang Chengjun was dealing with official documents, because he was not sure whether he would have the energy to deal with official affairs when his stomach hurts, so all things had to be considered in advance, and his confidantes should be brought up to ensure that the official affairs can be handled smoothly at that time.

Everything is crowded together, because of fetal worms, I still feel hungry all the time after eating five meals a day, and I am more irritable and depressed than usual.Chen Xinghan, who had been away for a month, did not come back after taking down Lu Ping. A telegram came from the front that day, Chen Xinghan took a rest in Lu Ping and led his troops to Dagouping and Banner Bridge.He actually wanted to take back all the three towns outside the pass.

After Jiang Chengjun finished reading the telegram, he angrily threw the telegram on the ground. The flimsy paper was swaying around before it landed. Jiang Chengjun had already made a decision to let the logistics department come, and quickly prepare some military supplies to send to the front line. Call the clerk and let him inform the whole country that the capital has captured Lu Ping, which was occupied by Maozi, and is now breaking through Gouping and Banner Bridge.

The land is so big that people who don't farm it are useless. Jiang Chengjun asked the clerk to quickly draw up preferential conditions to encourage people to go to land reclamation, and publish it in the newspaper together with the notice.

It is always a joy to take back the occupied land.For a while, all the eyes of the country were on Kyoto, and warlords from all over the country sent congratulatory messages. The tone was always a little sour. Although the official language was pleasant, the actual meaning was that if there was a place occupied by outsiders at the door of my house, I would have called When you come back, you will be clean and tidy, and you will gain benefits and a good reputation.

Jiang Chengjun doesn't care about these. Among all the current warlords, Chen Xinghan is the youngest, with few qualifications, and the least territory and soldiers. He has not yet returned from studying abroad.But his advantage is his natural military talent, and his good luck.In fact, when they were lucky enough to be stationed in Kyoto, they all felt like a pie in the sky.

Now that they have obtained such a huge bargain, they must manage it well and not think about where they can go in the future. At least the right to decide how to go now is in their hands, rather than letting others decide.

Gu Xinyue developed the habit of reading newspapers in Guangzhou, and he began to read newspapers when he came back. After choosing a few newspapers, the concierge would send that day's newspapers to Jinxiu Garden every day.

Gu Xinyue saw in the newspaper that Marshal Chen had captured Lu Ping and was now fighting Gouping and Maozi of Qimuqiao. Gu Xinyue put down the newspaper and said to Dai Mei, "When the newspaper comes with the marshal's victory, remember to remind me to let Uncle Xiao Go to Banner Bridge to buy land."

"Yes." Dai Mei replied.

Shen Heli came in from the outside, sat down on the seat next to Gu Xinyue, picked up Gu Xinyue's teacup, and poured it into his mouth with a grunt.

"Where did you come back from?" Gu Xinyue asked strangely, picked up the kettle and poured tea for him, and continued to pour it into his teacup.

Shen Heli picked it up and drank it down again, waved his hands and said, "Find me something to eat, I'm so hungry."

Gu Xinyue glanced over, Daimei walked to the door and asked Zige to let Dingxiang cook something, the sooner the better.He turned around and came back again, put some refreshments on a plate and brought them to the table.After Shen Heli ate two pieces of snacks and poured another cup of tea, he had the energy to say to Gu Xinyue, "Where do we start? Anyway, Yan Xiaochen introduced me to a lucrative job, so I went to ask to see if there was any." Make money."

Gu Xinyue frowned, "What's so stupid?"

"Didn't Shen Ximu run to our house every day, and he had more contacts with Yan Xiaochen in private. He called me over today and asked me if he had a good thing to do. Mr. Jiang wanted to connect the capital and the customs. The road construction contractors in the three towns went out and asked me if I wanted to do it." Shen Heli said, "After I came out of him, I found a few friends and went to a few places selling sand and stone bricks. I took a few sips of tea and didn't eat anything."

"It's your turn for such a good thing?" Gu Xinyue expressed doubts, building roads and bridges for the government is a big business, and it is a matter of fame and fortune.

"Can the government under Premier Jiang be compared with the previous one? There is no corruption and bribery, and the oil and water in it are not so rich." Shen Heli said, "If we contract together, I will naturally not have my share, but according to him, it is to Divide it into several sections and find someone to package it separately, Yan Xiaochen said that if I want to do it, let me do a section."

"Then there's no need to hesitate." Gu Xinyue said, "You want to get in touch with them, but now they take the initiative to hand you the ladder, if you don't get on now, when will you wait?"

"Yan Xiaochen asked me to give him an answer tomorrow." Shen Heli said, "I have never built roads before, so I don't know anything. Although it doesn't matter if I lose money in order to gain access to the government, then I must know where to lose money. Besides, what he said I just complied, and I was not solemn, and the decision I made after thinking about it would not be more convincing."

"Well." Gu Xinyue said, "The government's funds will not be collected in one step. Can you raise the previous road construction funds?"

"Also." Shen Heli nodded. "Just transfer the money for the factory first."

"If you can't turn around in the future, just tell me, don't be embarrassed with me, I will borrow money and ask for interest." Gu Xinyue said.

Shen Heli gave him a warm smile, "I know, this is the advantage of having a rich wife." He said half-jokingly.

At this time, Dai Mei brought chicken soup noodles, Shen Heli impatiently took the noodles, and sighed after a few mouthfuls, "This taste is a bit bland."

"I just make some to give you some flavor. It tastes so good, what should you do if you're full for dinner?" Gu Xinyue said, "Eat slowly, I'll make dinner earlier."

"Thank you Yuezhi." Shen Heli said.
