me and my two queens

Taisho tenth year.

I never imagined that the year in this world is so special, it is at the junction of the East and the West, tradition and modernity, where new trends of thought spring up and old rules decline.

What's more terrible is that this time my two identities are still far apart, and it is very difficult to merge in a logical way.

First of all, Maki, Maki's surname is still Saito, and he was born in a famous family with a prominent background and noble blood, but because he couldn't keep up with the changes of the times, his family fell into decline.

In short, my ancestors were rich.

Just a month ago, Saito Maki's father died of illness, leaving only her and a servant in the dilapidated home, and two days ago, the only servant disappeared.

According to the neighbors, the woman must have run away.

After all, the Taisho period was not a modern society, and the disappearance rate was not low, but the problem was that the old woman only went out to buy food, and did not bring much money with her, and who would kidnap or kill an old woman in plain clothes?

Only by accident.

Saito's family has basically been emptied out to see a doctor for the master, and the rest is a few rice coins, and the most precious thing is a few swords handed down from the ancestors... No, if you count the people who buy and sell, the most expensive ones are probably "Maki Saito".

If she really has the intention of harming others, what the servant girl should do is to sell all the valuable things, and then run away with the money.

As for the neighbor of Saito's family, this person obviously has evil intentions. He probably wants to occupy the orphan girl of a declining noble family, or kidnap and sell the orphan girl?Anyway, it's about the same thing.

But this is an ordinary person, I can kill him with my eyes closed, so I'm not in a hurry to deal with him until I find the missing servant girl.

My Maki took the only Sanshin sword left at home, changed into clothes that were more comfortable to move, and planned to go out-then was blocked by the knife restriction order.

Alas, I didn't learn history well, I have to find a way to hide the knife.

Anyway, my first goal is to reunite Maki and Anjou.

When Zhenji was racking his brains to hide the knife, my Xing had already met my father in this world. He and my Buddhist father had a certain resemblance, which made people feel friendly immediately.

Xing's life experience is a bit more complicated than Zhenji's. Xing's father was the first batch of students who went abroad to study, and Xing's mother was a foreign woman, and Xing was not the result of a legal marriage, but the product of an affair.

Although... why is Xing still silver-haired and red-eyed? What kind of mixed race effect is this? !

Because the family is relatively well-off, Xing’s father opened a factory as an overseas student, and quickly accumulated a large amount of funds. Coupled with several successful investments in contacts, Xing successfully made a lot of money within ten years and became a The legendary upstarts are the nouveau riche.

This time the trip to sea is said to be for business, but in fact it is also to bring back the daughter who has been raised overseas—up to now, there is no unfinished love between the old lovers, the last remaining affection is Xing, and this The mother has been married long ago, and the possibility of seeing each other in the future is very small.

But this is not a hindrance. Xing's father advertised to the country that he had a marriage with a noble daughter overseas, but unfortunately his wife died of illness; marry and have children.

They are all free and easy.

This time, Xing's surname is no longer Saito, but "Ganlu Temple", a surname I have never heard of.

"...Although you look good in western dresses, your father also made you a lot of traditional clothes. Whenever—" Ganlu Sixing's father sat behind the desk and said loudly to me, "Sophia, you Lost your mind? Listen to me carefully."

Me: "...Dad, you should call me Xing,"

My father was puzzled: "You said last time that this was the name your mother gave you. Are you used to it and don't want to change it?"

"Aren't I going back to my father's hometown to live?" I said, "And compared to Ganlusi Sophia, Ganlusi Xing sounds better, right?"

My father was very happy when he heard this: "That's right. People have to do as the Romans do. After returning home, Dad will take you to meet our distant cousins. They helped me a lot when I was doing business. , in the future, your cousin will inevitably come to work in our factory and help us do business."

Relationships... don't know how long I can stay in this dream.

I'm used to the opportunity of racing against time to learn in dreams, and I instinctively want to avoid it when I think of allocating time to other activities, but now this is the Taisho period, the modern trend of thought has just started, and the development of productivity is about the same as that of the ninja world , so what can I learn?

"Father probably won't remarry anymore. You are now 16 years old. I will find you a husband of Chinese origin... Let's find a husband from a declining Wu family, so that our family will have a relationship with a serious nobleman." .”

My father imagined so happily: "Anyway, I only have you as a daughter. You will learn some factory and business knowledge in the future. With your support and the efforts of the man from the Ganlu Temple family, our family will definitely become a new rich!"

I quickly caught a few sensitive words while my mind was wandering, and subconsciously repeated: "Factory and business..."

"Hey, Sophia... No, Xing, don't bother me, and don't listen to those noble ladies talking nonsense, you have to learn these things." My father sighed a little, apologetically.

"Isn't it just for you to make money? But if I go first, you have to learn how to manage it. Your future husband is definitely not as reliable as the man from our Ganlu Temple family, and your cousins ​​are definitely not as good as yourself. Insurance, only the money in your own pocket is money, our family—”

"I understand!" I understood it, and immediately asked enthusiastically, "Father, I understand your painstaking efforts, so--when will I learn factory management? What does our family do? What does the factory produce?"

Dad: "..."

The old man hesitated and said: "In short, it is light industry, daily necessities, small appliances, etc..."

light industry!

These three big characters flashed before my eyes like shining golden light. I took a step forward and held my father's hand tightly: "Father! Wait for me to make the Ganlusi family's property bigger and stronger!"

The old man nodded blankly: "Oh... oh, oh..."

God still favors me.

When Konoha's agricultural base was built on a preliminary scale and the commercial channels were just opened, I immediately entered the dreamland of the Taisho period.

Think about it, Japan’s productivity during the Taisho period was highly similar to that of the ninja world, and the level of development of science and technology was basically the same. The experience learned here can be immediately reproduced around Konoha, not to mention that I still have knowledge from later generations .

Yes, when I was building an agricultural base, I discovered that it is impossible to develop industries in a healthy way only by knowledge of equipment. I am not a commercial or technical talent. The only achievement I have made since I was a child is probably sanitary napkins... It’s not me Independently developed.

I don't know how to build a factory, nor how to assemble an assembly line. So far, the best I can do is build a tractor by hand - start it with chakra.

Chakra is actually a very magical energy, and it will be promising when combined with industrial products, but Konoha has not yet had time to train scientific and technological talents, and the relevant experience is even zero.

This time, the ones delivered to your door are industrial factories, or light industries involving food processing, daily necessities, and small appliances!Moreover, the power facilities of this era are just in their infancy, without too complicated a structure, and are very primitive.

There is nothing more suitable for me at this stage than this dream.

Alright coach, let's learn this next.

As dusk fell, my Maki moved quickly on the bustling street, avoiding the bustling crowd, and headed towards the river with a clear destination.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but the place where the maid of the Saito family disappeared is around the factory of the Kanroji family. Although the investigation of the disappearance is something I have to do, I might as well take this opportunity to let Xing and Maki meet.

I have long discovered that people in this era are ordinary people, there is no chakra, and there are no strange abilities. The power I brought from the ninja world will provide me with great convenience.

Therefore, for the convenience of action, my Maki simply changed his appearance and used illusion to cover up the knife. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary boy with a popular face.

I am very happy with the way I look now.

Street lights were turned on one after another on the street, illuminating the main road brightly. My Xingzheng was sitting in a car from the Taisho period, watching the bustling scene on the street through the window covered with a layer of gauze curtains.

The driver and bodyguard sent by my father hesitated: "Miss, the factory is closed at night, and if you walk from here, you will pass through a relatively dark path. Do you still want to see it?"

Of course I'm going, otherwise how would Xing meet Maki.

"Go." I said to him, "I can't wait to take a look at Dad's factory. Let's take a look and leave tonight without getting out of the car."

The driver obeyed my instructions and drove the car into the street beside the main road. Although the electric street lights were not laid here, the ground is very flat and it is a road that can be driven.

As one of the first few port cities to open up, the prosperity of this city is reflected in every corner of her.

Hurry up, Maki will be able to join Xing in two streets, and then I will let Maki fall in front of the car, and I will definitely scare the driver... At this speed, even ordinary people will not be hurt if they touch the porcelain , not to mention the eyesight and speed of a ninja.

When I was thinking this way, the driver suddenly screamed, and then the vehicle hit something. Fortunately, the speed was not fast, and it just shook during emergency braking.

what happened?Maki was touched before he came?

"Miss, we hit someone!" The driver pushed the door anxiously, "Don't be afraid, I can handle it, he shouldn't be seriously injured, I'll go and see—"

The driver's voice stopped abruptly, because the moment he left the vehicle, his head was removed.

I opened the door and quickly got out of the car: "Who?!"

On the driver's body, a shadow was covered in a pool of blood. Although the thing still had a human shape, there were too many parts on its body that it shouldn't have.

It lifted what could barely be called a head, and looked at my apricot: "There are women... it's thin blood... it smells so good..."

The author has something to say: The hostess went to visit relatives with her father: Your cousin’s eldest daughter ran away from home back then, alas, she was about to get married after a successful blind date... But she ran away, saying that she was going to find someone who could marry her. Protect her good husband.

Cousin (sobbing): Free love, it's harmful!
