Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

After returning from the wedding banquet at Xia's house, Wu and Bai stayed at Wu's house for another two days before leaving Yancheng under the eyes of Wu's father and mother.

On the carriage, Xiao Zimo said: "If I have time in the future, I will definitely bring you to Yancheng to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"I originally planned to invite my father and mother to visit Fencheng, but they refused." Wu Bai regretted.

"Why is that?" Xiao Zimo asked suspiciously.

"My mother said the journey was long and she couldn't stand the bumps, and she told us not to go back unless necessary. The two trips back and forth were really exhausting," Wu Bai explained.

Wu Bai knew why Wu's mother said that, she just thought it was not good for him to go back to her mother's house often, and worried that he would act recklessly with Xiao Zimo's favor, which would cause dissatisfaction with Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, that's why he told him that.

"We are still young and we can stand the trouble. If you miss them, just tell me and I will accompany you back." Xiao Zimo promised.

"Well, I know." Wu Bai nodded.

The two returned to Xiao's house, and Xiao's father sent someone to call them to the study.

"Father, what do you need from us?" Xiao Zimo asked.

"I plan to hand over the family business to you." Father Xiao said bluntly.

Xiao Zimo said in surprise, "Father, is there something wrong with your body?"

Father Xiao rolled his eyes at him, and said: "I am in good health, but now that you are married, it is time to shoulder the burden of the family."

"But..." Xiao Zimo wanted to refuse at first, but he thought of the conversation he had with Xiao's father on the day of his wedding, and thought that he had to take care of Wu Bai, and he couldn't let Wu Bai take care of himself, so he resolutely said: "Okay, I promise to take over." Family business."

"Not bad, responsible." Father Xiao praised.

"Don't feel pressured. If you encounter difficult things, you can ask me." Father Xiao comforted.

"Yes, father, I understand." Xiao Zimo nodded.

In this way, Xiao Zimo took over the Xiao family's business. He left early and returned late every day, very busy.

Wu Bai was not idle, he sorted out his dowry, and found that most of the dowry Wu's father prepared for him was gold, silver, jewelry, various ornaments, and silver tickets.

After thinking about it again, Wu Bai understood Father Wu's intentions.

The Wu family's business is in Yancheng, and they don't have any property in Fencheng, so naturally they can't give Wu Bai the title deed of the shop's field, so the Wu family and his wife will prepare a large amount of banknotes for Wu Bai.

Looking at the large amount of banknotes in his hand, Wu Bai made up his mind. He took the banknotes to Fencheng Yaxing, and decisively bought more than a dozen shops.

It is rare for the owner of the tooth shop to meet such a wealthy customer as Wu Bai, and he keeps recommending the house to him.

However, Wu Bai felt that the house was vacant and needed frequent repairs and maintenance, which was very troublesome, so he didn't buy it.

After buying the shops, Wu Bai naturally couldn't leave them empty, so he redecorated these shops to sell unique things in Yancheng.

The word Yancheng was on the plaque of his shop, which soon spread in Fencheng.

Xiao Zimo looked at Wu Bai who was flipping through the account book, and praised: "Fu Lang is really amazing. Your shops have made profits not long after they opened. Recently, when I go out, I hear people discussing your shops."

"What did they say?" Wu Bai looked up at Xiao Zimo.

"They are all guessing whether the owner behind these shops is the same person, otherwise why the word Yancheng is on the signboard." Xiao Zimo said a little proudly.

Others would never guess that the owner of these shops is his husband.

Xiaofu's main courtyard, Xiao's father was talking to Xiao's mother.

"You see, I have already said that this son-in-law is a capable man."

"Our Zimo is also good. After he took over the family's business, he has never made any mistakes, and the business is also booming." Xiao's mother praised.

Father Xiao curled his lips, and said: "He was just lucky to marry a capable man, and Brother Bai guided him, so naturally he didn't make any mistakes."

A year later, the Xiao family's business grew bigger and bigger, and the profit doubled several times. At the end of the year, Xiao Zimo told Xiao's father about the profit, and Xiao's father was shocked.

"How do you do business? This is too exaggerated!" Father Xiao said in shock.

Wu Bai explained: "Actually, it's not that we are good. It's all thanks to my father. At the beginning, my father strongly supported the imperial court to build a naval army and wipe out water bandits. Now there are more and more merchants coming and going from Fencheng, bringing many orders to our family. In addition, every time our cargo ship sets off, the people in the navy will take extra care, so that the loss will be reduced and the profit will naturally increase."

"Yes, besides that, my father-in-law and I jointly established a caravan between the two cities. This caravan is responsible for transporting the special products of Yancheng to Fencheng, and then I transport them to the whole country by water. Everywhere, this business has also earned a lot of money." Xiao Zimo said.

"I see." Father Xiao said with a smile on his face.

Years later, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo went to Yancheng to pay New Year's greetings to Wu's parents and Wu's mother.

After he came back, he found that something was wrong with Xiao Zimo. The other party often stayed alone in the study for a whole day. Every time he asked him, the other party always looked mysterious.

On this day, Wu Bai came directly to the study, intending to see what the hell Xiao Zimo was up to.

"Yu map? Shui Jing Zhu? What are you looking at?" Wu Bai asked.

Xiao Zimo, who was obsessed with drawing, was startled by Wu Bai's sudden sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Fu Lang, it's you!"

"What are you drawing?" Wu Bai looked down at the paper.

"This seems to be a map, huh? Isn't this mountain near Yancheng, and this river, isn't this the river outside the city?" Wu Bai asked, pointing to the lines on the drawing paper.

Xiao Zimo sighed helplessly: "Since you have discovered it, then I will tell you."

"Just like you don't think about food and tea all day long, anyone can find something is wrong, you'd better explain it honestly." Wu Bai snorted.

"I've been studying the map of Fencheng and Yancheng for the past few days, and I want to rebuild a wide and smooth road between the two cities." Xiao Zimo explained.

"Building roads? Why do you suddenly want to build roads?" Wu Bai asked in confusion.

"The distance between Fencheng and Yancheng is very long. Every time I see the reluctance in the eyes of my father-in-law and mother-in-law when they send us away, I think that if there is a shortcut connecting the two cities, then they will want to visit you, or you It will be much easier to see them, so I will study the maps of the two cities."

"Look, this is the road I drew based on the geomancy map. At that time, we will start construction from here, and then pass here, here, and here, and the distance between the two cities will be shortened." Xiao Zimo pointed to the road on the table. Draw a route and introduce it to Wu Bai.

After hearing Xiao Zimo's plan, Wu Bai couldn't help but his eyes turned red. He hugged Xiao Zimo and buried him in his arms.

Wu Bai sniffed and choked, "Zimo, you are always so kind to me, you will spoil me."

Xiao Zimo hugged him back, kissed the top of his hair, and said with a light smile: "You are my husband, and I don't know who else to be good to except you. If you are spoiled, spoil it. Are you good or bad? I like all of them."

Wu Bai raised his head, looked at him with red eyes, and said in a nasal voice, "You said that."

"Well, I said so." Xiao Zimo pinched his red nose.

"Then I want to plant peach blossoms on both sides of the road." Wu Bai made his request.

"Okay, I'll draw the peach blossoms later." Xiao Zimo nodded.

At this time, Xiao's father came in and had something to discuss with Xiao Zimo. Seeing Wu Bai's eyes were red, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Wu Bai shook his head and said, "I'm fine, what is father looking for with Zimo?"

Father Xiao nodded.

"Then you talk, I'll wash my face first." Wu Bai left the study after finishing speaking.

"Have you bullied Brother Bai?" Father Xiao looked at Xiao Zimo and asked.

"No, I'm not willing to bully him." Xiao Zimo explained.

"That's true." Father Xiao echoed.

"What does father want from me?" Xiao Zimo asked.

"It will be the birthday of the commander of the navy in a few days. He sent a post to our family. He thought that you will be in charge of the family's business for my father, so he planned to take you with him." Father Xiao replied.

Xiao Zimo nodded and said, "Okay, I see."

"What are you drawing?" Father Xiao saw the paper on the table.

"This is the map of Fencheng and Yancheng. I plan to rebuild a wide and straight road between the two cities." Xiao Zimo said.

"Building roads? What are you building roads for?" Father Xiao was puzzled.

"I want to make it easier for Brother Bai to go back to Yancheng to visit relatives." Xiao Zimo said truthfully.

"You're just messing around!" Father Xiao said angrily.

"Father, I didn't mess around. If this road is built, it will be convenient for Brother Bai to go home and visit relatives, and it will also be convenient for my caravan to deliver goods." Xiao Zimo argued.

"Building roads is not that simple, let alone the distance between Fencheng and Yancheng. It must cost a lot of money and a lot of effort to repair it. This is definitely not offset by the profits brought by the small caravan. " Father Xiao analyzed carefully.

"But I already promised Fulang just now." Xiao Zimo said naturally.

Hearing this, Xiao's father finally understood why Wu Bai's eyes were so red just now, and he was moved when he co-authored.

"Forget it, I can't control you now, do what you like!" Father Xiao said discouragedly.

After finishing speaking, he left the study and went to the main courtyard to talk to his mother Xiao about his depression.

After listening to Xiao's mother, she was not as angry as he was, but enviously said: "The husband here is really lucky. He met such a good husband as Zimo, and his natal family can build roads for him, unlike me, whose natal family is so far away. It's in Fencheng, but some people didn't accompany me back several times."

Speaking of the latter, her tone was a little sour.

Xiao's father was a little dumbfounded, and he asked, "Aren't you angry when your son behaves like this?"

"Nonsense? Where did he come here? I think he is doing well. Anyway, our family is not short of money for road construction. If he is willing to build roads for Erfu Lang, then he will do it!" Mother Xiao said indifferently. .

"That little money? You said it lightly, how can this money be so easy to earn." Father Xiao said depressedly.

"Since Zimo has the idea of ​​building roads, it means that he can earn back the money. Now that he is taking care of the family business, he must know it well." Mother Xiao spread her hands.

"You think it through very thoroughly." Father Xiao said speechlessly.

"No, I can't figure it out. I can't understand why you didn't respond to the obvious reminder I just made." Xiao's mother stared at Xiao's father fixedly.

"Hint? What hint?" Father Xiao asked in confusion.

"Hmph! I want to go back to my mother's house." Mother Xiao snorted coldly.

"If you want to go back, go back, and go in the carriage." Father Xiao replied casually.

After receiving this reply, Xiao's mother became anxious. She stood up and walked in front of Xiao's father. She couldn't help reaching out and grabbing his ear, and said angrily: "Xiao Yucheng! How did you promise me when you married me? Have you forgotten?"

Father Xiao hurriedly begged for mercy: "Madam, let go quickly, I will accompany you to your mother's house."

"If you have to force me to fail, your memory will be better!" Mother Xiao said angrily.

"Come on, hurry up and prepare the carriage." Father Xiao ordered to the door.
