[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

"Miss," Licorice came in with a letter and bowed to me, "This is a letter from Aoi-sama."

I'll take a look.Huang Yi said in the letter that he had already returned to Guiyang, and only waited for the peak season to be a little free in July, so he went to Heizhou again to conscript him and set a wedding date.I sat in front of the dressing table and continued to read the letter. Licorice stood behind me and helped me comb my hair.Huang Yi asked me to go back to Heizhou together in July, and wait on the border of Zizhou if it is convenient. He wanted me to meet the peak season first.

Is it July?

I pursed my lips and thought for a while, "Licorice, please help me prepare my pen and ink."

"Yes, miss."

When the licorice brought the stationery, I wrote back with a pen.Now it is the end of May, and I have temporarily stabilized the tea family in Chazhou. It is time for Chai Lin to confront the tea family, so that the All-Commerce Federation can grasp the distance from the tea family and not anger them. At the same time, they will not interact too much with them.It's also time for me to leave, just to spare time to go to the All-China Chamber of Commerce in Huangzhou, and continue to coordinate in the middle.In July, it should be in time.

In July, I will go back to Heizhou first, and then go to Bizhou Quanshanglian.Afterwards, before the road is blocked by heavy snow, I can go to Lanzhou to inspect Zhang's tea business, and then rush back to Heizhou to celebrate the New Year and deal with the New Year's account.

The schedule for the second half of the year is full again.

"Licorice, thank you for your hard work." I folded the letter and handed it to her, "I have asked you to accompany me almost all over the country this year."

"Miss is serious." Licorice took the letter and blessed me, "I think it's good to go out and see more."

"Next year will probably be easier." I plan to focus on Zhang's business in the coming year, and the schedule will be more stable.

Licorice bent her body, lowered her head cautiously, and said, "Miss, please forgive me, do you still need to reserve more time to come out and prepare for the wedding? Will Miss Unknown also go to Zizhou with Mrs. Kui after marriage?" ?”

I sighed softly, "I have thought about it." In the end, I still couldn't let go of things and went to Zizhou.Zizhou is in war, and Zhang's business is not suitable to go there, and it is useless for me to go there.

"Is that lady planning to separate from Aoi-sama?"

"You don't agree?"

Licorice still lowered her head, "I am talking too much."

I shook her hand and patted it.I understand her concerns.It is indeed a bit unseemly to be married without intending to live together.When we got engaged, Huang Yi and I were a little confused. At most, we thought about the more serious issue of in-laws' interests, and didn't think carefully about life matters.

When we see Huang Yi, we can discuss it with him.

One morning in June, I came to the building of the All-China Chamber of Commerce in Huangzhou. As soon as I stepped off the sedan chair, I saw Huang Fengzhu's elder brother and the second son of the Huang family, Huang Fengming, whom he had had a brief relationship with.When investigating the assassination case in the national test, thanks to him, I was able to easily pick out the gangsters in Guiyang.Today, Huang Fengming has just been promoted to the vice president of the All-China Chamber of Commerce.I just nodded to him and did not step forward.At that time he would help me, but for the sake of my younger brother Huang Fengzhu, it would not be appropriate for me to step forward rashly.

Unexpectedly, Huang Fengming came over on his own initiative.

"Hello, Ms. Zhang." There was a suitable smile on his delicate face, and his attitude was friendly.

I also turned my back and said, "Hello, Mr. Huang."

We exchanged pleasantries and said goodbye. I went on to find some acquaintances of the general secretary to deal with Chazhou affairs. When I came out again, I saw Huang Fengming waiting for me and invited me to have lunch.He stayed and chatted for lunch before he expressed his intentions.

"May I come to the Huangzhou General Assembly?" My fingertips slid across the rim of the cup.

Huang Fengming nodded with a smile, "I heard from the president that he meant it. That's right. From my point of view, it's not bad. Ms. Zhang is not planning to take the position of president of Heizhou? If she doesn't want to stop here , it would be a good attempt to transfer to Huangzhou after the expiration of the term of office. Of course, it is only a secretary. If Ms. Zhang feels that it is not suitable, it will not be too late to return to Heizhou. "

We just talked briefly about this, and then changed the subject.I need a moment to think about it.

The Huang family is the best at doing business in Caiqi. They don't want to have no influence in such an important organization as the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, but because of their status, they will not directly take over the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, lest the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce lose The particularity that is independent of Caiqijia.Therefore, Huang Fengming, as a direct descendant of the Huang family, is already a top-notch vice-chairman.

When I sat in the swaying sedan chair and went back to the inn, I pursed my lips and thought about this invitation. After a while, I couldn't help but laugh.I fell in love with Chai Lin, and now I'm also in love with someone.If I do well, maybe Huang Fengming will push me to the position of president.

But not necessarily what I want.

But Huangzhou is also worth my visit.With the expansion of the Zhang family's business, I need to establish a relationship in a well-informed place across the country like Huangzhou General Assembly to communicate with businesses distributed in various states.The position of the All-China Federation of Commerce is held every four years, and I have more than one year left for the term of the vice president of the Heizhou All-China Federation of Commerce.If I really want to transfer, I only have a few months to think about it, so as to reserve time to prepare for the new position.

More importantly, if I devote myself to Huangzhou, what will happen to Huangyi?

In July, I had a decision on this issue──

After dealing with the matter of Huangzhou, I diverted to the border of Zizhou.After running around for days, when I saw Huang Yi waiting there, I couldn't help laughing.

──Forget it, I think the purpose of developing the Zhang family is to make my life better, not to embarrass myself.

Forget it.

"It's hot in July, why don't you take a carriage? If you can't make it in time, just wait in Heizhou," Huang Yi frowned and helped me off the horse, "There's no sense!"

He cursed again... "I haven't seen you for a long time, and your first sentence is like this again... Didn't the ancients say that if you don't see me every day, it's like three autumns?" I rubbed my forehead, "Can I hear something nice? "

Huang Yi wiped my dusty face lightly with a handkerchief, then helped me into the station, "No."

"..."

He continued blankly, "Wait tonight."

"..." I was molested again.

I couldn't help but look away.He always likes to make such jokes that are almost cold jokes.

"Oh, it really looks like they are in love with each other." A handsome young man with long light blond hair and a wide-sleeved robe looked at us with a smile on his face, "Huang Yi, you are really good at deceiving little girls. .”

With a cold face, Huang Yi said at a very fast speed: "You disappear, if your work is so idle, I will impeach you immediately. Immediately, immediately, now! Turn your head 180 degrees and then Get out."

I was stunned, then covered my mouth, and held back the laughter until my shoulders kept shaking.Huang Yi's appearance is very interesting.

"Really, I sneaked over here to see the bride out of the love of my companion." The young man turned to me, waved his hand and greeted me easily, and didn't hear Huang Yi's words, "Lan Lan, right? I'm Huang Yi My childhood friend, Ling Yanshu. Whenever you get tired of Huang Yi, you can also come and play with me."

It turned out that he was Ling Yanshu, the future servant of Huangmen, and the third suspected villain outside of Huangyi and Peak Season.

Huang Yi crossed his arms, and said in a voice that everyone around could hear clearly: "Lan, if you see him in the future, just treat him as Liuli and go around."

I couldn't help it, and finally laughed out loud.Huang Yi glanced at me, then looked at Ling Yanshu who was still smiling all over his face, he made a low noise and frowned, as if he was a little troubled.I watched and smiled even more happily.Sure enough, Huang Yi's expression was the most amusing.

"Lan Lan also feels very happy?" At some point, Ling Yanshu had already stood on the other side of me, tilting his head and smiling authentically.

I smiled at him.

"Okay, Yan Shu, let Miss Zelan settle down first." Another majestic male voice came from the second floor. I looked up and saw a well-dressed man who was about fifty years old. .

"Yes, Master Wang Ji." Ling Yanshu replied with a smile.

This is peak season.

I glanced at Huang Yi, he nodded to me, I gave a light salute to Wang Ji, turned around and let Licorice, Wang Dali and other members of the Zhang family settle down.Afterwards, I followed Huang Yi to Wang Ji's room, and formally greeted him as the first time meeting an elder.

"Miss Zelan, please get up." Wang Ji stretched out his hand to help me, and Huang Yi next to me helped me up.Wang Ji nodded to me and said, "There are no female elders in Huang Yi's family, so I can only preside over the recruitment. I'm sorry."

I bowed to him, "Please don't say that, these are just verses."

"I heard from Huang Yi that you are a student of Lord Li Wenxian and Lord Lin Mu?"

"I can't say I'm a student, but I just learned how to play chess from the two of you."

Ling Yanshu, who was also sitting on the side, smiled and said, "Then let's play a round?"

Wang Ji spoke out to stop him, but I looked at Huang Yi's expression, and finally complied, and had an impromptu hand-to-hand conversation with Wang Ji.His chess is very similar to Huang Yi.No, maybe it should be reversed, it is Huang Yi who looks like him.

So in this game, should I win or lose?

"Tap." With a light drop, I decided to win, because Wang Ji mentioned Li Wenxian and Lin Mu just now, and I couldn't let the two elders be ashamed.

At the end of the game, I won a small victory.

"I remember the time when I never won against Mr. Wen Xian." Although Wang Ji was defeated, there was no sign of any difference, and it could be seen that he was trying hard to put on a kind appearance with a serious appearance.

I smiled, "So it's Mr. Wen Xian's old acquaintance, I am laughing at you. Playing chess is just a small thing outside of business, so I don't care about it."

When I got out of the room, I tugged on Huang Yi's sleeve.He held me back, gave me a sideways glance, and said, "Master Wang Ji won't eat people, you don't have to be nervous."

I covered my forehead, "I think it's not me who is nervous." Wang Ji tried his best to pretend to be amiable and didn't want to scare me, so I didn't dare to move too much, so as not to scare him in turn.

Huang Yi obviously saw it too, he turned his face away and sighed.

I shook his hand, "Don't worry, I will respect Mr. Wangji too."

"En." He paused, "Don't worry about Ling Yanshu, just treat him as transparent."

"...Why do you have to go too far?" Huang Yi facing Ling Yanshu is very fun, although it also has a bit of a vicious taste like a gang of villains.

"Because if you are not careful, you will be betrayed by him."

"..." Has he ever said that about a friend? "Well, it's Lord Ling's ability to sell me, isn't it?" Huang Yi used to bury me even if I was sold to Huajie.

At this time, we were walking to the corner of the empty corridor, Huang Yi pulled me in front of him, hugged me from behind, "No, I bought it."

"...Huang Yi, let's have a discussion, can you replace the words you bought for me?"

"...elm head."

aha? "How does that have anything to do with the material of my head?"

Huang Yi pointed to a potted flower under the corridor.

I looked up at the crescent moon hanging in the sky.

...The flowers are blooming before the moon is under?

I burst out laughing until my waist was bent.

"Hahahaha~"

"fool."

No way... I'm going to die from laughing... Hahahaha~ I pulled Huang Yi's sleeve with one hand, covered my mouth with the other, and laughed endlessly.

He sent me to the door, I lowered my eyes, took his hand, and said softly: "Good night."

He raised his hand to wrap my hair around my ear, "Good night."

The next morning, I was woken up.I rubbed my eyes, but I didn't see the licorice, so I put on my coat, got up, walked to the window, opened it slightly, and looked out to see what was going on.It's okay not to look at it, but when I saw it, I subconsciously held my breath.It was a group of ragged refugees. Licorice, Wang Dali and other servants of the Zhang family were helping to deliver meals, and the chief clerical officer of the Zhang family, Liu Jiahe, was also there, and seemed to be organizing temporary relief work.

Presumably, this is a refugee who escaped from Zizhou.

I let out a long breath.

To think is to think, to know is to know, to see with one's own eyes, to be to see with one's own eyes.

"Lan, are you awake?" Huang Yi's voice sounded outside the door.

I went to open the door, he looked at me, paused, "See?"

"Yeah." I sighed, "It's more serious than I thought."

He patted my cheek lightly, "Go and freshen up first."

"Um."

After I turned around and went back to the room to freshen up, I stepped out the door.Huang Yi folded his arms, leaning against the wall and waiting for me.We went downstairs together, and when Licorice saw me, she walked over quickly and bowed to me.

"Miss, good morning. I'm very sorry, because we saw the miserable conditions of some refugees from Zizhou, we decided to open a porridge shed on our own initiative. Please punish me."

"It's all right, good job. You go to work first."

Licorice saluted me again and then turned back to the porridge shed to help. Liu Jiahe who was not far away did not come over, but just looked at me and nodded to each other.

I pursed my lips.

"Let's go." Huang Yi said.

"Um."

We went to the backyard to have breakfast with Wang Ji and Ling Yanshu.

"Miss Zelan hasn't been to Zizhou?" Wang Ji asked.

"It's a shame I haven't been here since the prince melee started."

At this time Licorice came over and squatted down, "Miss, I am very sorry to disturb your meal."

I shot Wang Ji an apologetic look, "It's okay. What's the matter?"

"Miss has used up all the change she carried with her, but this food is not enough."

I put down the bowl and chopsticks, thought for a while, and said, "Let Mr. Liu take Wang Dali to the nearby area to deliver the goods we are traveling with. We will deal with the emergency first." It doesn't make sense to do nothing when we meet a group of refugees. , but... "There is not much we can do, we can only do this first." We will discuss the long-term plan in the future.I patted the back of Licorice's hand to comfort her, Licorice nodded to show that she understood, bowed to us and left.

"Huang Yi," I pursed my lips, "If I use up all the dowry gifts you brought now, is that okay?" After the war started, I shut down the Zhang's business in Zizhou, and now I also temporarily transfer No money.

Huang Yi raised his eyebrows, "Once again. How much do you think you can do? You have dealt with this batch of refugees, what will you do with the next batch?"

I turned my head and looked at him.

Huang Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, "The dowry is used here, what do you ask Mr. Wang Ji to give to your father?"

I smiled, but didn't speak.

Huang Yi turned to the beginning, and said coldly: "Go and ask Mr. Wang Ji yourself."

I turned to the peak season as I said, but he also turned his head away and coughed dryly, "Miss Zelan, actually... the betrothal gifts we brought are not much... When I was in Zizhou, I already used a lot to help the common people. I can't make up much..."

I was stunned, and looked at the three men present...Does it mean that I am really a bargain?

Wang Ji hastily added, "Miss Zelan, Huang Yi has no intention of underestimating you. Although our family is poor, Huang Yi can definitely support you. Miss Zelan doesn't have to worry."

Looking at the peak season, it seems that Huang Yi is the one that is slow to sell, hahaha.

Do you dare to come and give me a big gift with a little dowry?It really was Huang Yi.I laughed very rudely.Huang Yi glanced at me and snorted coldly.Really, dare to show me face at this time.I shook my head and laughed, waved my hands, and said with a smile: "It's okay. Then, would Master Wang Ji mind if I use the rest of the betrothal gifts to help these people? In fact, it is enough for Huang Yi's elders to come to Heizhou. It doesn't matter if there is a betrothal gift or not It's totally fine."

"Of course, miss Zelan, feel free to use it."

I stood up and bowed to Wangji, then withdrew to help take care of the temporary porridge shed.Not long after, Wang Ji, Huang Yi, and Ling Yanshu all came out to help.As a result, we couldn't leave on this day, and we had to delay our departure for Heizhou by a day.In the evening, when I finally cleaned up all the things I had, I sat down on the balcony on the second floor of the inn to take a rest.Licorice brought a cup of hot water, I took it and drank it, sighing softly.

"Licorice, it seems that our schedule next year will not be loose." I thought, I can do a little more.

"Miss, don't you want to spend all your wealth like the master?"

I smiled and teased her, "So what?"

Licorice looked as if death was at home, and solemnly bowed to me, "No matter what, Licorice will follow Miss."

I burst out laughing, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer." I sighed again, "I'm not so great yet. If there were no Zhang family, I would just be a useless person who can't do anything today." People. But, I think I can mobilize far more money and connections than I have today, and I want to go a little further.”

"Yes, miss."

If I serve as the secretary of the All-China Chamber of Commerce and strive to push my career forward, will I be able to do more things? "Licorice, I used to think that I was a big businessman who could see the trend of the world clearly. I thought that I could easily draw the map of the world and make myself live well. However, I didn't realize until today that the world is bigger than what I know. Knowing is much greater."

"Miss," Licorice lowered her head and knelt down to salute, "I didn't know the world was so big before my father was convicted of a criminal and his entire family was confiscated."

I sigh again and again.

"Miss," Licorice gave me back the white jade sunflower headdress that Huang Yi gave me, "Miss, please punish me."

I originally asked her to use this tiara for money.I took the tiara and held up the licorice with a wry smile.In fact, how could I be willing?

Licorice said seriously: "Forgive me for talking too much, Miss, if Mrs. Aoi finds out that you want to use this even, she will be angry. Maybe you should think more about the principles of being a man/wife."

I shrugged helplessly.I don't know when, Licorice, who has always abided by her duties as a maid and never crossed the threshold, has learned to scold me with a straight face.

"Yes, I get it, it's my fault." I obediently admitted my mistake.

After appeasing the licorice, after she retreated, I sat on the balcony again, enjoying the evening breeze.

"Lan Lan is also a good and decent girl." Ling Yanshu walked over with a smile, "It really looks like her."

I looked up at Ling Yanshu.she?

Ling Yanshu stretched out a finger across his lips, and said with a smile: "Master Wang Ji's daughter, Miss Wang Feiyan who married into the Piao family and passed away, Huang Yi's childhood sweetheart."

I was taken aback.what does he mean?

Ling Yanshu smiled brighter and brighter.
