stand back, let me come

Chapter 1156 1156: Difficult to do (Part ) [Please vote]

Jimo Qiu opened the tent curtain.

The people in the tent subconsciously turned their heads and looked over.

Their eyes met.

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 leaving 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 camp is not very manpower-rich, and the food supply is limited. After arriving late, there are 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 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 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 your 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?"

"It's said to be a beautiful girl powder or a masculine powder. It can keep the skin young and cover up marks." 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 looked up to 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 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 a few more boxes to give to Alai. She seems to like these things. 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 tapioca, 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 beside it. There is a small string of small characters at the bottom, which is endorsed by a certain lady, and everyone who uses it will say 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 content of the fine print is much the same.

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 asked emphatically about the "limited edition".

At that time, 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 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. 】

Jimoqiu pays attention to the price.

He found that the so-called limited editions were half as expensive as the regular editions he had, and they were snapped up by a group of people as soon as they were taken out. Some of them came in person, or sent their housekeepers and maids to give money very quickly, fearing that they would miss out if they were slow to give. Jimo Qiu secretly paid attention to the limited editions and found that the portraits and words on them were indeed different.

For those that have no portraits, the background patterns are different flowers, grasses and landscapes, and the characters underneath 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! 】

He loves 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 Qin Jun 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 account for 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 superficial reason.

The real reason is that the owner of [Yue Rong] is a colleague of Qin Jun.

Jimo Qiu looked at the box of pearl powder 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 as Gongxijun" and "Special to Gongxiqiu Conservation Association" will be available. Fans will also be on sale, and there may be a limited edition version of the Gongxi Enemy 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'll give you two boxes."

Jimo Qiu put the box down: "No need."

It’s hard to put it into words: “With your strength, you don’t need to maintain it.”

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 you look 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 rice, 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.

But Xu Wenshi was nowhere to be 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."

Gong Xiqiu heard this and asked no 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. 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 king of Gao Kingdom had several city gates, but this location was the most remote, and most of the nearby houses were inhabited by poor people. Fortunately, the fire point in the capital city is far away from here, 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. Gongxi Qiu narrowed his eyes, and Xu Quan also noticed his presence. He waved to the convoy behind him, signaling 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, so 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 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 secretly was dug up to supplement the military.

In the previous talks with the Ministry of Household Affairs to urge military pay, Shangshu Xun kept saying that he was losing blood in the war. 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 the Kingdom of Gao. 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 in the ground.

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 severely 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 relatively coincidental time.

The soldiers and horses transporting the funerary objects were walking towards each other as the bloody men 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 up ancestral graves, throwing away human corpses, disturbing ancestors, and committing countless harmful and serious crimes.

Xu Quan listened 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 about to burst. 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.

After thousands of years of troubled times, isn’t it normal to dig up ancestors’ 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 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 intentions?"

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 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 Gongxiqiu Conservation Association, the scale has expanded to more than 30,000 people, a large number of whom are the children and relatives of courtiers and have extremely strong spending power. They were gradually dissatisfied with the pursuit of idol-style hair accessories. At a conference, a proposal was made to customize idol-style products as an internal benefit for members of the conservation association.

As the president, Xu Quan is bound to do this!

But the plan has not yet been implemented, and we have to go to the battlefield to fight.

It was 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 are good, you will get a share. 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 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 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...

Could it be that he made a huge mistake?

For a time, Xu Quan's face was completely white and 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 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 and asked, "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, 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 Lord."

Shen Tang is not in the main tent at the moment but at Xun Zhen's side.

Crackling, crackling.

The jade abacus beads made a pleasant crisp sound when fiddled with by Xun Zhen's 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 the Northern Desert and Gao Kingdom."

Xun Zhen's eyes were eager.

"It's well developed. I'll attack the southwest next and wait for Shaomei to send back the good news. My incarnation of 'Wuyou' in the southwest Qi country has set up a small job with the help of Kewu. It can work wonders if done properly."

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.
