The thought arose. Qin Juexiang immediately felt a chill oozing his bones. It seems that the entire Fish Viewing Water Pavilion is gloomy.

His eyes straightened. Suddenly jumped out of bed. Return to the chair. Hands in the air. Probing the nose and sniffing.

There was still Li Shuangji's thick manly breath in the air. There is also a residual fragrance.

It is Ma Mingshao's perfume.

I still remember being in Shanxi. When I was preparing a gift for the Hengshan faction, I wanted to give perfume. Smell the fragrance on his body and feel refreshed. I asked about it. Ma Mingshao said at the time. The perfume he uses is called "Hailan Jiao".

The aroma in the air at the moment is somewhat unfamiliar. Apparently Ma Mingshao has changed his perfume.

However, at the time of the long pavilion farewell. Guo Shu Ronghua toasted to his eldest brother. The fragrance on the body spreads far away with the breeze. Elegant and pleasant. I didn't realize it at the time. Thinking about it at the moment. It's been a few months. But it is still faintly recognizable. That's exactly what "Hailanjiao" tastes like.

Is it a coincidence?

He thought about it for a long time. Rush out the door. The railing shouted, "Someone." ”

At the Moon Gate. Six Gunners drilled in. Rushing along the water ring corridor.

Qin Jue raised his finger and said, "You go and find me ......" halfway through the words. Suddenly I couldn't go on.

Today's Qin family. Ma Mingshao helped him take care of it. Chen Zhibin can't fully believe it now. The people of the Hundred Swords Alliance don't need it even more [Xianmo: I have to worry about it. The alliance has not yet been decided. And let the people of the Hundred Swords Alliance deal with the affairs of the Qin family. It will definitely make the Qin family have an unstable foundation and unstable people's hearts. It's hard to manage anymore. So in fact, the Qin family can manage the affairs of the Sword Alliance. The people of the Sword Alliance can't take care of the Qin family's affairs. All in one place. The status is still different. 】。 Gu Weixin, Mo Ruzhi and other old subordinates are all in Shanxi [Xianmo: I want relatives and friends in times of crisis]. Come to think of it. At this moment, you can rest assured that you can do things around you. It's hard to find one.

The six guns bowed their heads and waited for a long time. It's weird. Look up.

I saw that the young master suddenly became unusually calm. Two eyes are fixed. The blood on his face faded.

They wondered in their hearts. I had to wait.

Qin Juexiang paced the railing for two steps. Liding said: "You go up to the building alone to have a look." If not busy. Ask Yu Zhide to come over. A man rushed out. Half an hour later. Yu Zhide entered the cabinet to give a salute: "What does the young master command?" Qin Jue said, "Oh. Hehe [Xianmo: Don't write "smile". This sound is cold. The word oh is added in front. Laugh even colder. 】。 It's not a big deal. I want you to go to the perfume shops in Kyoto to inquire. Ask if there is a kind of 'Hailan Jiao'. Buy some back. ”

Yu Zhide picked his eyes and looked at him.

Qin Juexiang said, "I'm going to give Nuan'er a surprise." Don't let a third person notice it. Yu Zhide bowed and said, "Yes." Three days later, I came to report [Xianmo: Provincial Pen]: "Back to the young master." His subordinates traveled all over Beijing. No one was found to have sold this perfume. Qin Jue said, "Oh. So rare. Even the Jingshi didn't have the goods. Yu Zhide said: "It's not just that there is no goods. Most of them have never even heard of it. According to the boss of Jingxi Shuimuhuatang. This 'Hailan Jiao' is extremely difficult to refine. Ten acres of flower fields can refine a drop [Xianmo: the same as Ma Mingshao's self-report]. And it's not something that is in circulation. It was when Yan Shifan was there [Xian Mo: Supplement Ming Shao did not say what he said]. Sent people to encircle a piece of land in northern Liaoning. Specializing in flower cultivation and refining. Only a few bottles can be produced in a year. Shifan keeps four bottles for his own use every year. The remaining bottle was given to the eunuch who was a favorite in the palace. A bottle was given to the Taoist priest who accompanied Jiajing to practice. And about a bottle or two. Reward those you can use and trust. The winners are proud of it. Folk people. Even if you are willing to spend a lot of money, it is difficult to buy it. ”

Qin Juexiang slowly pushed open the window. staring at the distance: "I didn't expect it." It's not a small thing. ”

Yu Zhide said: "Yes." However, it is not easy to preserve. After a long time, the aroma dispersed [Xianmo: The packaging is not good. laughs]. Most of the people who got it used it at the time. Therefore, very few survive. But it is said that when Yan Song's house was copied. Someone found more than a dozen bottles of the deceased. The bosses of the major perfume stores in Beijing are eagerly waiting. I'm going to buy some to sell it. You will be rich in the future. But when the official sells the Yan family's property. But I didn't see these perfumes on the list. As a result, everyone was left happy. ”

Qin Juexiang said in his heart: "Guo Shu Ronghua is such a delicate individual. I like this kind of stuff. When the house was raided, the East Factory participated. He must be the one who gets people to notice. I took the opportunity to swallow it. "Recalling Ma Mingshao's well-dressed, rich and elegant appearance. I didn't think anything was going to happen before. Now think about it. I feel more and more similar to Guo Shu Ronghua. Suddenly, I thought, "Wait." Ma Mingshao loves perfumes. Someone bought it at a high price. It's not impossible. It may not have anything to do with Guo Shu Ronghua. And Guo is the governor of Dongchang. How cautious. If you really arrange for your men to come to me. You must not give him perfume for your own use. Wouldn't that be too easy to arouse suspicion? ”

Think about it. It's hard to tell. said: "Forget it if you don't have it." And he added, "When you do this." I didn't let anyone see it. ”

Yu Zhide waved his back: "The subordinates are going to wander around and inquire in their spare time." Especially avoiding the general manager of Ma Da [Xianmo: I have the heart to climb up. There is this supplement]. The young master can rest assured. ”

Qin Juexiang's willow leaf eyes were slightly tilted to the side and back. I thought to myself, this guy is so good. I could guess that I was investigating Ma Mingshao.

Yu Zhide took a look. He bowed down and said, "Young Master." Mr. Ma is very particular about things such as clothing and aromatherapy [Xianmo: Men spray perfume. Yes, there really is. And really not a person with abnormal sexual orientation. In ancient times, it was normal for men to wear sachets and sachets. Today's people don't know how to pay attention. With smoke and sweat acid as a man's taste. It's a headache. The sachet can contain spices. It can also be loaded with medicinal herbs. It can remove bad smell and regulate the condition. Some minor ailments. It is easy to injure the body when taking medicine. I had to be convinced. How to take it. It's Pei Xiang. Nowadays there is aromatherapy. Actually, most people don't understand. The smell fills the room with a stuffy fragrance. Miss by a mile. The incense is only strong. It's not incense. The real fragrance must be tranquil. Inadvertently when you come back to your senses. It feels like a wisp of it through the nose. From the heart to the outside of a "comfortable". It's the real fragrance. Conditioning the mind and body is here. Soak in the scent of incense all day long. It's no different from soaking in the fishy smell of the fish market all day long. Jiu also suffered. 】。 This is something that our Qin family knows. You don't command him this. Instead, they came to me. Obviously a bit unconscionable. Besides, you want to surprise the warm girl. It's just a matter of hiding it from her. Why should you tell your subordinates not to let others find out? That's why the subordinates have such a guess. ”

Qin Juexiang turned his head. I looked at him for a moment. Smiled: "Very good." How many years have you been in my Qin family. Yu Zhide hurriedly said: "Go back to the young master." It's been seventeen years. Qin Juexiang was stunned: "Seventeen years." It's not a short day. Yu Zhide smiled: "Yes." I grew up in the Hui Bin Building. Start by picking vegetables and brushing dishes. Later, he ran to the hall and took care of the accounts. Do anything. The days came by in a daze. Qin Juexiang's eyes were slightly straight. There was a long hum. said: "It's been so hard for so many years. But there is little improvement. I've really wronged you. ”

Yu Zhide said with a smile: "The young master's words are far away. The old lady and the uncle know people well. Knowing that I'm also a greasing head. It can't be a big deal. Kung Fu is also to learn from him every time he asks the general manager of Qi to report the accounts. For more than ten years, it has not been up or down. It's appropriate to run a restaurant or something. Further up. You don't need the wind to blow. I was dizzy and floated up. How can you still suppress the scene? ”

Qin Juexiang moved his gaze to the empty space of the room. Only one side face was left for him. Said leisurely and slowly: "People are in the rivers and lakes." Wind and rain are indispensable. Who is not drifting in the wind and swaying in the waves? As long as the feather floats to the ends of the earth. Also remember the way you came. The water weeds washed up to the cape. I don't forget where my roots were. That's enough. Yu Zhide understood: "Yes." The subordinates keep in mind the teachings of the young master. Qin Juexiang hooked his fingers with two fingers: "Come over with your ears." [Xianmo: Laughs.] Comrade Grzynev has always been a pun intended. Why not delete the word "ear". 】

In the evening. Ma Mingshao ascended the water pavilion. Lift the curtain into the house. I saw Qin Juexiang sitting in a light bucket with his back to the window. The whites of the eyes are the blue of Aomorimori. The thin little face is as dark as an old man. [Xianmo: The sound is getting deeper and deeper in Beijing. Xiao is often in the depths of the shade. The heart is getting brighter and brighter. Therefore, Jue Xiang said that he could be his own master. In fact, it has always been influenced by the outside. Xiao Chang never attached himself to anyone in his bones. 】

He hurriedly bowed and said, "Young master." You come to me. ”

Qin Juexiang held up the tea bowl. Sighing, he said, "Hmm." I'm a little slacking off these days. What happened to the family and the league. ”

Ma Mingshao said: "Go back to the young master." News from Taiyuan. Jiang Muxian stepped up his efforts after the year. The Qin family's combat power was quickly increased to 50,000. But according to the estimates of the Senate. At this rate, it has expanded dramatically. I'm afraid it's not a long-term strategy. Qi Mengqiao suggested. At this stage, the focus should be shifted to business. In addition to the original six industries such as grain, cloth, timber, and jewelry. Aim for the next eight to nine months. Then monopolize seven industries in Jin, such as dart transportation, pawnbroking, casinos, and brothels. Six old and seven new. These seven new ones are not really new. It was after Qin Langchuan shrank his hand and turned to the right line. A few things to give up. Now I've picked it up again]. It is required to be in Changzhi, Jincheng, Linfen, Yuncheng, Xinzhou and other major rudder areas. Cover the Qin family's shops to forty percent. Other small rudders should be at least 60%. ”

Qin Juexiang kept pinching the lid of the cup and foaming the tea. Hear this lightly pulled. Yu Zuo said impatiently: "Lao Qi is too conservative. Three hundred and sixty lines under heaven. And he could see them. And also. The area where the small rudder is located is either a township or a county. That share accounts for eighty percent and there is a few dollars. Tell him. It is necessary to divide the rudder of the main forces and increase their strength. ”

Ma Mingshao hurriedly said: "Young master." There were no fallen shops left in the big cities. They are all rooted, factional, and powerful. Mergers and acquisitions are not feasible. The use of force is easy to cause trouble. According to the subordinates. Old Man Qi means: squeeze and don't move. Just go down. Take the share that they don't look up to. It's the same with adding up. In fact, it doesn't matter if it's black or white. In private and in office. Money is fate. It is not easy to completely monopolize a certain industry. Although we are a monopoly in Shanxi. But you also have to be considerate of others. Please think twice about this matter. [Xianmo: Leave room for everything. See you in the future. Money is earned by everyone. Monopoly can't actually develop]

Qin Juexiang observed attentively. After Xia Zenghui's incident. I feel that it is becoming more and more difficult to look at people. The people around him are all ghostly. There seems to be a problem. At this moment, Ma Mingshao's expression was earnest. Unpretentious. It's heart-wrenching.

The lid of the cup swirls around your fingertips. Grind with the rim of the cup. It makes a restless sound.

Ma Mingshao waited for a while, but there was no response. I thought I had listened to it. He continued: "On the side of the Hundred Swords Alliance. Chen Zhibin took care of it. It's all going well, too. The allotment of shares has also been implemented. Everyone in the league rejoiced. According to the preliminary statistics...... "then all kinds of accounts are reported in the same way." Qin Juexiang looked at him and thought to himself. I listened to it for a long time, but I didn't hear it. Finally, he let out a long breath. Waving his hand, he said, "Okay." "Put down the tea bowl. Stand up: "You don't have to tell me the details." It's stuffy in the house. Let's go outside. ”

"Yes. ”

The two of them got out of the cabinet. Yu Zhide distanced himself to keep up. Three people, two before and one behind. Walk slowly through the water-curvy corridors.

Colorful clouds are all over the sky. The sun is gone. Ripples in the pond. The light waves on the clothes of the three people were reflected. Such as the evening breeze.

Come to a small pavilion that looks out into the center of the pool. Qin Juexiang stopped his steps. The railing looks at the sunset of the water garden. Speechless for a moment.

Ma Mingshao persuaded in a low voice: "Although Lawyer Xin has not returned to Hengshan [Xianmo: I know that I have sent someone to go. Patches without traces]. But it doesn't have to happen. The young master doesn't have to worry too much. You're running out of food these days. Getting thinner and thinner [Xian Mo: Echoing the sound. Sincerely. Straightforward and straightforward is extravagant. Therefore, I borrowed a sentence from the mouth of the pony's eyes]. On the contrary, it is more reassuring than her. ”

The sound of water is soft. Under the pavilion, two fish, one red and one black, are surfacing the water. Small mouth round open. Tail waging scales. Qin Juexiang's gaze fell. said lightly: "In this world." And who. It's really reassuring. ”

Ma Mingshao noticed that something was wrong. Tentatively: "Although the eldest lady has been robbed. But he couldn't stand the grievances for a while [Xianmo: With a pen Qin Ziyin. It's not cold everywhere]. Hou Ye is strong in martial arts. Sooner or later, he will return from his meritorious service in the south. Don't worry. Now the Qin family is thriving. The dust in the alliance has settled [Xianmo: All external troubles are even]. I don't know who the young master is worried about. ”

Qin Juexiang slowly turned around. Look him in the eye: "You." ”
