Poor Family

Entering the winter moon, the weather is getting colder and getting darker earlier.

In winter, everyone had dinner and rested early.

There are only a few sporadic lights on in Wuchang Bofu, among which the lights in the study of Lanyuelou are the brightest.

In the study room, several pots of silver charcoal were burning vigorously. Compared with the biting cold wind outside, the room was as warm as spring.

Shi Fuxin, who was wearing a lotus-colored skirt, was standing by the wall at the moment, and pasted a small red flower on the map of Dachu hanging on the wall. After pasting it, she took a few steps back, full of smiles Looking at the map.

On the map, the northern border has been covered with little green flowers, and little red flowers are plastered all over the provincial capitals of Dachu.

The little green flowers represent the branches of Shennongtang. There are nine in the northwest border area, eight in the northern Xinjiang region, and nine in the Liaodong region. A total of 24 Shennongtang branches have all opened for business.

The little red flower represents the branches of Hongyanxiao. There are 26 provinces in Dachu, and each provincial capital has opened branches of Hongyanxiao. Including ten in Beijing, a total of 36 branches of Hongyanxiao are in operation.

Shi Fuxin looked at the colorful map with satisfaction, and then pasted two small yellow flowers on the Blue Sky Ranch in Liaodong and Baiyun Island in Beihai respectively.

Seeing that there were twenty or thirty little green flowers and little red flowers, and only two little yellow flowers, Shi Fuxin was a little dissatisfied.

We have to continue to expand our territory!

The medicinal materials and raw materials produced by a ranch and an island cannot meet the needs of all Shennongtang and Hongyanxiao shops.

Shi Fuxin turned her gaze to the south of the map.

I heard that there are many islands in the sea to the south.

Shi Fuxin suppressed the eagerness to move in her heart. As the saying goes, it is easier to defend the country than it is to defend the country. The Shennongtang branch and the Hongyanxiao branch add up to 50 or 60 stores. It is not an easy task to manage, but it must be done steadily.

Walking to the table, Shi Fuxin began to look at the purchases and local price information submitted by the branches of Hongyanxiao in various provincial capitals.

Although the branches of Confidante in various provincial capitals are managed by cooperative local businessmen, the person in charge of purchasing the stores is personally sent by Shi Fuxin.

One is to better coordinate sales and supply, and the other is to help her collect information from all over the world.

For Shennongtang, she not only wants to open it in the northern border area, but also wants to open it in the southern provinces.

When Shennongtang is opened all over Dachu, she will build Shennongtang Women's Medical College.

However, this store is not just open.

The branch of Shennongtang was able to open in the northern border area because of the needs of the army. Even if the interests of some people were violated, these people did not dare to clamor.

And Hong Yanxiao was able to open ten branches in the capital because she was backed by the National Women's Supervisor, and the emperor would sometimes intervene, and the jealous people could only watch eagerly.

Whether it is Shennongtang or Hongyanxiao, it is difficult to open a branch elsewhere.

The market is so big. If the business of Shennongtang and Hongyanxiao is good, they will definitely seize the interests of others. The local family merchants will definitely join hands to suppress it.

It is for this reason that she has to choose to cooperate with local businessmen in the branches of Confidante in various provincial capitals.

Confidante can cooperate, but Shennongtang can't.

Now that the branches of Hongyanxiao have been opened in various provincial governments, she has to use the resources of the branches to prepare for the opening of Shennongtang branches in the future.

Just when Shi Fu was carefully understanding the situation in various places, after two months, under the leadership of the First Prince, the plague in Jianghan Province was finally contained, and, under the personal supervision of the First Prince, the relief food was also distributed. in the hands of the victims.

The emperor was very happy after receiving the report from Jiang Han's political envoy, and praised the eldest prince in the early court. After going to court, he went to the Shoukang Palace of the Empress Dowager and praised An Guogong.

The Jianghan plague has been resolved, and the disaster situation has been effectively alleviated. The First Prince's errand has been completed beautifully.

The emperor was happy about this, but the crown prince and other princes were downcast.

The eldest prince, the eldest son of the Empress Yuan, and the most legitimate heir to the throne, his status is like a mountain in the hearts of the princes.

In the winter months, it is the time to sit around the stove and eat barbecue.

On the fifteenth day of the winter moon, because it snowed heavily the night before, the snow scene in the courtyard was excellent. Early on, Jin Yue'e posted a post to the family members, inviting everyone to come to Yigui courtyard to enjoy the snow and eat barbecue.

Two days ago, Shi Zhenghe and his men hunted a few deer in the countryside, and brought back two of them, one for the mansion, and the other for his wife and children to eat.

In the room, the stove was burning vigorously, Mrs. Jin sat with Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Fifth, and Mrs. Seven sitting together and gossiping, while the girls ate meat around the oven.

On the oven, the venison was grilled until it was sizzling, and the rich aroma filled the noses of everyone, and everyone talked and laughed very lively.

Seeing the happy people in the room, Mrs. Shi felt relieved, and then secretly looked at Jin's family, and found that Jin's family was already able to be the host before she knew it.

Look, this party was held with great vibrancy, even the pickiest daughter-in-law of the seventh daughter-in-law was always smiling.

Shi Fuxin was busy eating the meat her sister roasted for her when she saw Xiaofang enter the room.

"girl."

Shi Fuxin got up and walked to the corner: "What's wrong?"

Xiaofang said in a low voice: "Fifth master Fei Ge sent a letter back."

When Shi Fuxin heard this, her complexion brightened immediately, she turned around and talked to Shi Fuyin, and then hurried back to Lanyue Tower.

"The eldest prince was attacked and needs help."

Looking at the news on the note, Shi Fuxin looked serious.

Her brother is now a police officer in the yamen of the Southern Head Office, and he can dispatch a lot of manpower. Just like that, he sent a letter back to ask for help. It can be imagined that the attack and killing that the eldest prince encountered was not ordinary.

"What happened?"

Shi Fuyin walked in suddenly.

Shi Fuxin looked over: "Sister, why are you here?"

Shi Fuyin: "You left the table suddenly, I don't feel relieved to come and take a look." Saying that, she looked at the note in Shi Fuxin's hand.

Shi Fuxin handed the note to her: "Brother Feige sent me the letter."

After Shi Fuyin read the contents of the note, her expression changed: "Brother will not ask us for help easily, the situation with the eldest prince must be very critical." Looking at Shi Fuxin, "Take the six people around us All nine ranks have been sent over?"

Shi Fuxin shook her head: "Not enough, there may be more than one wave of people who took action against the First Prince."

Shi Fuyin's expression was shocked: "What are you going to do?"

Shi Fuxin: "I'll take a trip myself." His eyes narrowed slightly, "The eldest prince didn't show up before, just because of his status as the eldest son, he was poisoned by cold and poisoned by a gu. Great merit, the person who makes the move must put the eldest prince to death, I don’t feel at ease if someone else goes.”

Shi Fuyin hurriedly said: "Then I will go with you."

Shi Fuxin: "Sister, you still have to go to class. Also, I'm leaving, and the family also needs you to cover me."

Hearing this, Shi Fuyin didn't speak anymore.

Shi Fuxin: "Sister, later on I'll make an excuse to go to Zhuangzi to inspect and purchase raw materials, and then go out of the mansion directly. Then I won't come back. I will say that I have contracted a cold and need to recuperate in Zhuangzi for a while."

Shi Fuyin nodded: "Okay, I'll make arrangements at home."

Afterwards, Shi Fuxin quickly packed up some belongings, and then went to Yiguiyuan, telling everyone that there was a problem with the newly purchased raw materials, and they had to deal with it immediately. With Jin Yue'e's approval, she took Xiaofang and An Ran and quickly left .

In the Jianghan Provincial Government, under a canyon wall, the First Prince who had been hunted down for more than half a month sat on the ground in a mess, gasping for breath while asking the guards: "Did An Guogong be found?"

The guard shook his head: "Eldest Prince, Duke An was separated from us last night. In the current situation, I'm afraid we won't be able to find him for a while."

The First Prince frowned. An Guogong is the only child of the Empress Dowager's natal family. If something happened to him, even if it was not his fault, the Empress Dowager would probably blame him.

"go back."

The guards looked over one after another.

The eldest prince stood up, gritted his teeth, and said, "We are going back to Yang Mansion now, and my highness won't believe it. Jianghan officials dare to watch my highness be assassinated to death!"

He can still live until now, fortunately he met Shi Dingxuan who was handling the case in Jianghan, if Shi Dingxuan hadn't arrived in time and helped him lure away two batches of killers, he would have gone to see Hades by now.

The eldest prince looked at the remaining dozen or so guards, and his heart sank. He hoped that Chu Yao would come quickly.

Under the protection of the guards, the First Prince turned back to the Yang Mansion.

When they were only 20 to 30 meters away from the gate of Yangfu, the eldest prince and his party were surrounded by a group of black-clothed killers again.

The killers this time were more skilled than the previous batches of killers, and there were so many of them. Soon, the guards around the eldest prince were a little overwhelmed.

The eldest prince looked at the closed city gate of Yangcheng, and saw that there was not a single patrolling guard on the city wall, his heart sank to the bottom.

Those who killed him dared to do it outside the city gate blatantly; and the officials of Yangcheng also dared to watch him, the eldest son of the emperor, be killed.

really carefree

Under the cover of the guards, the captain of the guards tore open a hole, pulling the eldest prince to break through.

However, the two of them hadn't taken two steps when a gust of wind hit them and directly knocked them to the ground.

The eldest prince lay on the ground, feeling like his body was about to fall apart, and then, two figures appeared in his sight.

The captain of the guard, a rank nine expert, had just rushed up, but was hacked to death by one of them.

The eldest prince's pupils shrank sharply, and when he saw the two walking towards him, his heart tightened.

Is he really going to die in Jianghan?

At this moment, the eldest prince regretted it a little. He was the one who made things up. He didn't expect the prince and others to be so reckless in order to kill him.

Just when the two killers were about to approach the eldest prince, there was a piercing sound in the air, and then, several cold lights came from 'swish swish swish'.

In an instant, except for the last two killers who dodged the attack, all the other killers fell to the ground and died.

The First Prince looked up, and a figure in a black outfit with a black mask appeared in sight.

Seeing the person coming, the First Prince heaved a sigh of relief.

Finally arrived!

The two killers looked at each other and attacked the black-faced man together.

The guards quickly approached the First Prince and surrounded him.

At this moment, the eldest prince's heart finally fell back to his stomach. Chu Yao is the ultimate master, even if the two killers are at the peak of the ninth rank, Chu Yao can solve them.

However, before the eldest prince was relieved, another group of black-clothed killers appeared.

Five of the ninth ranks, and the remaining twenty are all eighth ranks.

As soon as the killer came, his purpose was clear, the ninth rank besieged the black-faced man, and the rest all went to the eldest prince.

When Chu Yao saw it, he wanted to fly over to stop him, but was surrounded by seven ninth-rank groups.

Even if he is a supreme master, surrounded by so many ninth ranks, he was dragged back for a while.

There were only a few guards left around the eldest prince, and he was almost powerless to resist in the face of more than twenty eighth-rank killers.

Just when the eldest prince felt that he might die in a foreign country, and the guards decided to desperately buy time, another accident happened.

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves flew up in the sky.

Everyone smelled the danger and stopped.

Looking around, I found a long-haired woman wearing a white mask and a white robe appeared on the gate of the Yangcheng tower at some point.

A woman in white stands with her back to the moon, holding a white folding fan.

Fan Fan in the cold winter, when a normal person sees it, he will definitely say that he is sick, but at this moment, everyone is looking at the woman in white warily.

"is her!"

Seeing the people on the tower, Chu Yao's eyes were full of surprise.

White Moonlight!

How could she appear in Jianghan?

The killers looked at the black-clothed and black-faced man they were fighting with, and then at the white-clothed and white-faced man on the city wall. Although they were afraid in their hearts, they still challenged the eldest prince to enter the palace again.

On the tower, Shi Fuxin sighed softly: "Don't give me face."

As he said that, he slammed the folding fan in his hand, and the leaves flying in the air suddenly became as sharp as a blade.

A horrifying scene appeared, except for a few ninth-rank killers, all the other killers in black fell to the ground without a sound. After a while, a bloodstain appeared on their necks, and soon, the blood was left all over the place.

The eldest prince who was besieged by black-clothed killers was immediately emptied.

The eldest prince stared blankly at the woman in white on the city wall. At this moment, he didn't know that this person was here to save her.

However, he didn't know such a powerful person.

Could it be that his father sent someone to rescue him?

On the other side, Chu Yao also quickly dealt with the nine ranks who besieged him, and then looked at the people on the city wall with piercing eyes.

"This is black and white double evil!"

There is still a wave of killers hidden in the dark, but they dare not show up.

The black-masked man and the white-masked man were too strong in martial arts. The black-masked man killed the ninth grade as a cabbage, and the white-masked man was even more exaggerated.
