Chapter 1156 1156: Difficult to do (Part 2) [Please vote]
Jimo Qiu opened the tent curtain.
The people in the tent subconsciously turned their heads and looked over.
Looking 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 and give his elder brother some private space, Gong Xiqiu asked doubtfully: "Brother, why don't you come in?"
Looking down, he saw Jimo Qiu's hand. Carrying food box.
Gong Xiqiu stepped 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. There are still several small-scale resistance outside, and the camp does not have enough manpower. , the food supply was limited, and I arrived late with only leftovers. The only advantage is that the dishes are different every day.
The taste is also remarkable.
Jimo Qiu put down the food boxes and arranged them in stacks.
He ate it in the cafeteria and gave it to Gong Xiqiu.
“What’s wrong with your face?”
Gong Xiqiu’s face was covered with a layer of snow-white putty, leaving only two eyes and one mouth exposed. Just when Jimo Qiu turned around to look at him, he almost didn't recognize him. The shock was too great. Gong Xiqiu used a wooden spoon to add rice to the bowl, and each spoonful was filled with rice.
Jimo Qiu asked: "Is there any discomfort?"
Or is it that the older brother wants to learn how to dress up? Alas, that's not how he dresses up. He is pretending to be a ghost.
“This is the pearl powder sent by Xu Wenshi.”
“Pearl powder?”
“Is it a pretty girl powder or a macho powder? It can preserve skin and look beautiful. Young, cover up the traces "Gong Xiqiu. While eating, he explained, "Many women from the Conservation Association like it. He used his connections to get a few boxes of it that have not yet been sold on the market. He wanted me to help try the effect of this product. It smelled quite 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 kind of 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 box of pearl powder also has elegant markings.
If you look closely, it is 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 more. I gave a few boxes to Alai. She seemed 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 there were pattern words on the boxes."
As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his arms.
Not pearl powder, but a balm.
As soon as you look at the name, you know that it is 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, and everyone who uses it says it is good. Jimo Qiu remembered that there were all kinds of balms and powders in that shop, and the same product would have different portraits on it.
The contents of the small print are similar.
Different scent colors are endorsed by different people.
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 emphatically asked about "limited edition".
Jimo Qiu was curious and asked the lady who was entertaining customers in the shop what a limited edition was. The smiling lady said what spokesperson, series of blind boxes, in short, limited supply.
【Would limited edition be better? 】
The female monarch gently shook the sword fan with a painting of a maid dancing a sword.
He smiled and said: [It will be more expensive. 】
Jimo Qiu pays attention to the price.
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 maid who was in charge of the family to come. The money was given very happily, for fear that he would not be able to grab it if it was given too late. Jimo Qiu secretly paid attention to those limited editions and found that the portraits and words on them were indeed different.
Those that no one looks like, the background patterns are different flowers, grasses and landscapes, and the words at the bottom are of the same style as so and so. The ointment that Jimo Qiu likes is said to be [Qin Jun's same model]. He used it at a court meeting one day. The king heard it and asked specifically what kind of fragrance it was.
[Who is Qin Jun? 】
[Master Qin, Qin Li, Qin Gongsu! 】
This balm that combines orchid and green bamboo is very popular with him.
[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, there were no three characters Qin Gongsu printed on it. Even if it is printed, is it still difficult to find someone with the same name and surname in Kang State? This area falls into a gray area, and the government turns a blind eye. How can the big shots keep up with the high taxes they pay diligently every year?
Every time a new model is launched, it is sent to Qin Jun.
Of course, this is only the 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 with the words [Same Style as Gongxijun], [Specially provided by Gongxiqiu Conservation Association] 】’s beautiful girl fans/macho fans will also be on sale, and maybe there will be a limited edition of Gongxi Enemy’s statue. When Gong Xiqiu saw that Jimo Qiu could not hold it, he thought he also wanted to use pearl powder to maintain it.
"Brother, I will give you two boxes."
Jimo Qiu put the box down: "No need."
It's hard to explain in one sentence: "With your strength, you don't need to maintain it."
Gong Xiqiu's appearance has been stable at twenty-five or six, and his temperament The blood is abundant and the texture is delicate. Is it necessary to take care of yourself?
“Always keep up with the preferences of young people.”
Whether you look old or not is secondary, your inner state must keep up.
Jimo Qiu did not comment on this, but just reminded his younger brother: "If Xu Wenshi says something to you later, and needs your help, such as painting a portrait of you, remember to ask him for money."
Build your life. Gong Xiqiu quietly raised his eyes.
“Why?”
“Limited edition.”
It doesn’t matter whether it’s money or not, what’s important 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 never be wrong to warn him first. Gong Xiqiu said to write it down.
It’s just that Xu Wenshi was not seen for several days.
On the other hand, Xu Wenshi's personal guards sent gifts to Gong Xiqiu on time.
No merit, no reward, and so many things from others for free. Gong Xiqiu also had to care about the situation of this little fanboy: "I haven't seen your general in the past few days. He is busy with important matters and can't come. ?"
The guard said: "My general has received the king's order."
Gong Xiqiu heard this and asked no more questions. Even colleagues cannot reveal their respective tasks at will.
On the second day, Xu Quan appeared.
Gong Xiqiu, in the posture of a brave totem, was sitting on the highest point of the city tower basking in the sun. I have been busy working in the morning and now I need to take a nap to recover. When Xu Wenshi's breath approached from outside the city, he noticed it. He raised the snake's head alertly, glanced over there and then turned back. The old kings of Gao Kingdom had several city gates, but this one was the most remote, and the nearby houses were mostly inhabited by poor people. Fortunately, the fire point in the capital city is far away from here, otherwise the fire would be so intense that few people here would be able to escape.
The reconstruction here is 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, the indescribable rotten stench became stronger. Gongxi Qiu narrowed his eyes, and Xu Quan also noticed his presence. He waved to the convoy behind him, indicating that they should enter the city quietly: "Why is General Gongxi here?"
Xu Quan hasn't come close yet. He was forced back by an invisible force.
This power had no malicious intent, Xu Quan followed the force and looked at the owner of the power in surprise, not understanding why Gong Xiqiu suddenly rejected him. Gong Xiqiu: "You went to dig a grave?"
Xu Quan's eyes suddenly became wandering 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, they were dug up secretly to supplement military use.
Prior to urging the Ministry of Household Affairs to urge military pay, Xun Shangshu kept saying that the war was losing blood. Xu Quan also knew the seriousness of the problem, and other colleagues targeted the ancestral graves of the famous families. There is a custom of lavish burials in Gao Kingdom. After a family member is buried, there are many funeral objects.
Dead people don’t know how to use it, so it would be a waste to bury it underground.
Xu Quan has been busy with this matter these days.
Regardless of whether this family has no descendants or has descendants still alive, visit them all. Because of the trend of comparing rich burials, this trip was very fruitful. The income from digging graves was enough to feed an army of tens of thousands in March and May. This is also thanks to the fire in the capital and the bloody battle in the royal tombs, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Gaoguo family and could not 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 coincidental time.
The soldiers and horses transporting the funerary objects walked towards each other with the bloody men who were dragged out. When they got closer, they could still hear the curses in their mouths. The content is nothing more than scolding Shen Tang for digging ancestral graves, throwing away human corpses, disturbing ancestors, and committing countless harmful and serious crimes.
Xu Quan listened and turned away.
When he turned around, his lips moved twice.
【Shameless. 】
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. Desire. He struggled to move forward, but couldn't break free. Xu Quan only heard more screams and curses coming from behind him, and he chuckled.
In thousands of years of troubled times, isn’t it normal to dig up ancestral graves to supply military supplies?
They were 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, in troubled times it is rare to see such a polite and civilized Captain Mojin.
Xu Quan successfully handed over the task.
While drinking water, I asked the guard 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 Quan said: "Only by being careful in your words and actions can you live a long life."
The guard responded in a cold sweat.
Xu Quan was not too harsh. He softened his tone with a warning and asked his bodyguard if he had any letters from home. The war was tense before, and it was difficult to send letters home. They could only be sent to the rear areas, and the personal guards would respond on their behalf. Now that the war is completely over, 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 Gongxi Qiu Conservation Association, its scale has expanded to more than 30,000 people, a large number of whom are the relatives of the courtiers’ children. , extremely strong consumption power. They were gradually dissatisfied with the pursuit of idol-identical hair accessories. At a conference, they proposed customizing idol-identical products 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 has not been implemented yet, and we have to go to the battlefield to fight.
It was stranded for more than a year.
Gong Xiqiu is here, this 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 specially for the conservation association. , a limited series added to the current sale, and there will be a share if the sales volume is good. The profit part can be used as membership fees and 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 king 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 at the moment. 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 family's situation is so bad that they want to use him to marry Gong Xiqiu in exchange for peace?
Brother, he...
Did he make a huge mistake?
For a time, Xu Quan was completely white with almost no blood.
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 good mood recently. As a general who has been in the first volume, he walks with wind. He slapped Xu Quan on the shoulder with his big palm: "What are Wen Shi thinking?"
This slap caused the family letter 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.
The 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?"
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, and he couldn't let his cousin go crazy. You can sit down and discuss serious matters, and there is no need to push him out!
Zhao Feng took a deep breath.
"For the current plan, we can only go to the master."
Shen Tang is not in the master's account at the moment but at Xun Zhen's side.
Crackling, crackling.
The jade abacus beads made a sweet and crisp sound as Xun Zhen fiddled with them with his long fingers, and his face was filled with an unstoppable smile. He counted one book and Shen Tang read one book. The monarch and his ministers have never seen the treasury so rich in their lives, and 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 Bei Mo and Gao Kingdom again."
Xun Zhen's eyes were eager.
"Developed well, I will attack the southwest next, and wait for Shaomei to send back the good news. My incarnation of Qi State in the southwest, 'Wuyou', set up a small job with the help of Ke Wu, and it has miraculous effects if done properly. ”
The Cui family is very important in Qi State.
The appointments there do not require personal approval from the head of the country, but are recommended. Cui Hui's role in the process is crucial.
