marrying a concubine

Ruyu quietly looked at the woman's thin back from behind. She was wearing a snow-white plain dress today, and her thin body looked even more frail. Lost, only this sad plain color, missing my lover.

White clothes are better than snow, and the slender figure is like a willow. Ruyu is afraid that the strong wind will blow this slender figure away. Standing on the top of the cliff, fluttering like a celestial being, full of sadness, just standing quietly like that can make people feel To suffocating sorrow!

Like a duckweed floating between heaven and earth, wandering everywhere, unable to find its own roots, unable to find its own home...

Under the open sky, the woman's figure is particularly small, but so tenacious.

How much love for Feng Nanjin made Tassel so strong!

She has never felt that love can change a woman to such an extent, she can't help admiring it!

Susu, everything will be fine!

You will be very happy, God will not have the heart to torture you after suffering so much!

Tomorrow, the sun will rise again, and you won't live in the shadows all your life!

everything will get better!

Ruyu walked up the cliff and lightly hugged her shoulders. A warm force surrounded Tassel tightly from behind, giving the strength and encouragement that friends can give, "Susu, you will be happy!"

Liusu looked down the cliff with tears in her eyes, and said lightly, "Ruyu, do I still have a chance to be happy? Nan Jin is my only happiness. If he doesn't come back, how can I be happy?"

Ruyu sighed and pulled her shoulders, "What did you promise me? Having the courage to come here means that you have the courage to face Nan Jin's death, Susu, when a person dies, once it's over, you won't feel anything, what?" Promise, what about the next life, it's all a lie, you haven't finished this life, how do you know what will happen in the next life? I know everyone says that Nan Jin is dead, and you won't admit it, so you think he is alive, Wait for it, there must be a lot of good memories between you, think about it, many people, searching for a lifetime, may not have a true relationship, you have no regrets, don't you?"

"Ruyu..." Liusu looked at her blankly... "I just miss him...it's that simple!"

She never thought about dying. The responsibilities Nan Jin gave her and the expectations she had for her made her unable to let go. In this life, besides love, there are many things that she cannot let go of.

Everything in the Rufeng family is like Xiaobai!

Ruyu smiled, wiped away her tears, and firmly grabbed her shoulders, "That's right, since you miss him, you should always think about him. It is also a kind of happiness to have someone worth remembering, Fengnan A man like Jin who is willing to die for you is definitely worth remembering for your whole life. Compared with many women who are unhappy or cannot find true love, Susu, you are already very happy. Be grateful and cherish. If he is still alive, you In the end, you will wait until he comes back. If he dies, you will live on together with him, take up his responsibilities on his behalf, fulfill his wishes, see the beautiful scenery of the world on his behalf, and live yourself. This is also Feng Nanjin expectations, right?"

Liusu nodded with tears in her eyes, smiled slightly, and suddenly stretched out her arms to hug Ruyu. During these days, thanks to Ruyu, who helped her survive this difficult time, she has no regrets when she has friends.

"Ruyu, thank you, thank you very much, from Beijing to Fengcheng, your care, your care, I will always remember it in my heart, you are my best friend in this life, Liusu, for the rest of my life..."

Ruyu smiled coquettishly, and patted her on the shoulder. She grew up in the Palace of Ghosts. Apart from the sisters in the palace, she has no friends. Liusu is also her best friend, "You are also my best friend for life, no matter what constant!"

Liusu smiled gratefully, she should put away all the sadness and live a good life!

Liusu looked up at the blue sky and smiled faintly, Nan Jin, you would hope so, right?

"Ruyu, you're right, I'm already very happy!" Liusu let go of her, and said with a smile, "I used to have nothing but my sister's care and Min'er's care. I used to think that I would be imprisoned for the rest of my life." A small Wutong Garden, I have lived my life in such an ordinary way. But now, I have a group of loving family members, a group of close friends, and Nan Jin who loves me as much as my life. Family, friendship, love... should be Mine, I don’t lack anything, I’m really happy and satisfied, this is a blessing that I couldn’t cultivate in my previous life, I borrowed Nan Jin’s blessing, I will cherish it, live a good life, and support the Feng family firmly.”

"No matter what, I was born as a Feng family and died as a Feng family ghost!"

Ruyu patted her on the shoulder domineeringly, and said heroically: "That's right, support the Feng family and beat Xiao Jue to pieces. You are the most famous woman in the world now, and you have to live a more exciting life. There is Feng family, there is With Ice Moon Palace and my Ghost Palace behind you, you can do whatever you want."

"Fist truth?"

"Of course, fists are the last word!" Ruyu snorted, taking it as a matter of course, don't blame others for being cruel when no one is chasing and beating, and reflect on why you were beaten.

Tassel pursed her lips, perhaps the strong had the same thoughts.

Nan Jinhao thinks this way, Xiao Jue thinks the same way, Auntie thinks the same way, Ruyu thinks the same way too!

"Go down the mountain, mourning is enough, it's windy here, what's the matter, let's go down and talk about it!"

Liusu nodded, and looked at the bottom of the cliff with nostalgia.

Nan Jin, happy birthday!

The two figures slowly descended the mountain, and formed two harmonious silhouettes on the ground.

A gust of wind blew, and the flower basket on the edge of the cliff was blown up, drawing a parabola in the air, and falling down the cliff...

*

Ruyu accompanied Liusu back to Fengjiabao, it was almost noon, and before Liusu had time to eat lunch, Haitang told her that Liu Xiu and Liu Xi had arrived and were waiting for her in the study.

Without further ado, Liusu went to the study, followed by Haitang, Ruyu stayed in the hall to play with Xiaobai, this little guy was the joy of the whole family, although she didn't laugh or make trouble.Abi, Xiaocui and the others spared no effort in teasing her, sometimes until the little guy cried.

In Xiaocui's words, if you don't laugh, then cry!

Poor Xiaobai was born in a den of thieves.

in the study.

"What's going on?" Tassel asked.

Liu Xiu showed her a list and said anxiously: "Susu, these are the clients who came to terminate the contract today. There are more than 100 clients in total. They all chose the Sima family. This list is their detailed information."

Liu Xi handed over an account book, "This is the account of the compensation received and the accountant's profit calculated according to your account, and the account of the Sima's receiving their losses in January. Take a look."

Liusu wasn't very interested in the list, she picked up the account book after scanning it a little, and took a closer look. In less than a day, more than 100 customers were lost, which is not a normal number.

Tassel slowly curled her lips. The businessman still insisted on profit, and pursued the maximization of profit. No wonder they, if given her a choice, she would do the same.The unit is ten cents, and the spread in the middle is astonishing, especially for those big customers.She previewed the bill and smiled slightly, "If Sima's family accepts these customers, the monthly loss will be as high as 100 million taels of silver, plus their original customers, and the customers who will leave later will reach at least 400 taels a month. More than 8000 taels, the annual income of the imperial treasury is about 2000 million taels, and the maximum amount of silver that can be used will not exceed 5 million taels. Even if all the money is invested, it can only last for 2000 months at most. He will not be so stupid , With the [-] million taels alone, we have the courage to fight a price war with us, and there must be another way."

"Liu Xi, I want you to inquire about the situation at Chen Ming's side?" Liusu asked seriously.

"We have sent people to investigate, and this group of people is still waiting to see what happens. The master of the Chen family respects Nan Jin very much, and he is also straightforward and decent. Sima's family uses such a despicable method to solicit business. He will not fail to see it, for sure. If they won't leave, these 50 companies are all Nan Jin's normal contacts. I guess most of them won't leave, but... If the Sima family can maintain this price for a long time, I don't dare to say for sure, just like Chen As far as the master is concerned, if he loses ten pennies, he can save tens of thousands of silver a month. This is a huge amount, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not be tempted. Besides, Nan Jin is not here, and if he does not leave for a day, it does not mean that he will be in a month. I won't go." Liu Xiu replied.

Liusu nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Auntie, go and invite them to dinner, whether you use tricks or try to make friends, in short, you must keep them, and give some discounts when the time is right."

Feng Haitang nodded, she has always been the one in the Feng family's communication, it's a trivial matter, "I'll let Xuanbei and Abi send invitations in a while, and ask them to have dinner tomorrow, Susu don't worry, aunt will take care of this matter !"

These fifty families alone can account for one-fifth of the monthly turnover of Fengjia Shipping, and they are long-term cooperative relationships. They will not choose the Sima family rashly. As long as they don't move, it will not be difficult to continue.

What method will Xiao Jue use to cut off the Feng family's water and food?

He is not stupid, it is impossible to maintain this stalemate for a long time, he must want to solve it quickly, and the fastest way is to cut off their source of customers.

"Susu, have you never thought that we will adjust the price as well?" Liu Xi asked with gazing eyes, "Actually, we can also adjust the price to reduce the spread between us and them."

Liu Xiu also had this idea, Liu Su shook his head, and said calmly: "If you lower the two cents, you will be operating at a loss. If it was more than a month ago, it would be fine, but now, our capital flow is insufficient, and we still have Mo Beihai's money every month." With large expenditures, funds will be tight, and there is no spare money to fill this loophole. Moreover, I can’t reduce much, and I can’t see any effect. Once we lower the price, the Sima family will immediately lower the price, and the final loss is the entire shipping industry. , It is better to do less of such things that harm others and benefit oneself. I can't adjust the price again, or within a month, I will face the crisis of sailing again."

Liu Xiu and Liu Xi looked at each other, remained silent, Liu Su leaned back in the chair, frowned, and said indifferently: "What I am most worried about now is that Xiao Jue will use the power of the royal family to cut off our customer base, that is the real Drive us to death!"

When Liu Xi heard Liu Su's words, he widened his eyes angrily, and whispered in disbelief, "He is also a prince after all, he wouldn't use such dirty tricks, would he?"

"That is, it is an act of injustice for the imperial court to intervene in the competition between our shipping companies and disrupt the normal operation and development of shipping companies. If he uses the power of the royal family to cut off our source of customers, he will not be afraid of damage to the reputation of the royal family." Is it? The emperor will not allow him to act recklessly, right? This is too outrageous!" Liu Xiu also frowned, and the heroic man's eyes were full of anger. Full of complaints, she wished to have him cramped and skinned, if she shamelessly cut off their customers, Liu Xiu would even have the heart to assassinate him.

Haitang said: "Susu, do you care about anything?"

Since she can think of Xiao Jue's next move, she should have a way to deal with it. Although Liu Su took over the shipping for a short time, she got started very quickly.Knowledge of the entire shipping operation.

Liusu smiled faintly, "That's the last resort!"

She picked up the tea, took a sip of it, closed the account book in front of her, and said calmly: "The reason why I thought Xiao Jue would use the power of the court to cut off the source of customers is because of his determination to defeat the Feng family this time. It is normal for the imperial court to be dissatisfied. When Nan Jin was around, Xiao Jue wanted to control the Fengjiabao many times. Now that Nanjin is not here, the Fengjiabao is full of old and weak women and children. There is no backhand. If Mobei Haiwang hadn't stopped, I'm afraid the Feng family would have become history. From our point of view, Xiao Jue's behavior was excessive and despicable, and it was unfair for the imperial court to intervene in the shipping competition. From his point of view, there is no right or wrong, and it does not involve personal grievances. He just wants to destroy all the hidden dangers of the Xiao family. His approach is correct and courageous in the eyes of the court. He originally We should use all means to deal with the Feng family, and this matter does not need to be brought up on the table, it can be done secretly, the emperor has not made any movement for so long, it can be seen that he acquiesced."

"The emperor is the most shameless person in the world! He is ungrateful, he desperately takes advantage of it when it is useful, he tries to please him in every possible way, he kicks him away when he is useless, he suppresses Nan Jin vigorously, and he doesn't even think about Nan Jin..." Feng Haitang stopped suddenly, He snorted heavily, "Forget it, I am so angry when I talk about the members of the Xiao family, they are all too despicable, they are not good things!"

Liu Xiu and Liu Xi sighed, there is no way to do this, who let the surname be Xiao.

Liusu's eyes flashed, she pursed her lips and said nothing, she couldn't say that Xiao Jue did something wrong, it's just that everyone's position is different, and what they do is naturally different, so it can't be right or wrong, just like people in Jianghu often say, people can't help themselves in Jianghu , That's the truth!

"Liu Xiu, Liu Xi, the ship may be idle for a while, and many crew members will be free. You go back and make arrangements. Except for the sailors, everyone else will register with you. I have other things for them to do." Tassel mysterious smiled.

"This question is exactly what I want to talk about. A large number of guests have gone to Sima's house, and many of our crew members are free, but they still have to support their families and solve their livelihood problems. Susu, have you thought of a solution? "Liu Xi asked curiously, if she really thought of a way, it would be a happy event, and she was worrying about how to solve it.

Liusu smiled mysteriously, "I took down an emerald mountain from the Mobei Islands. I originally planned to wait for the South... I planned to mine it later, but there is something special. Anyway, mining Pei Cui requires a lot of people, and then solve the problem of shipping. Before, let them mine the Emerald Mountain. This way, the financial pressure can be relieved. Auntie, you have a lot of contacts. Find a good seller and raise the price a little. The profit of this Pei Cui Mountain is very considerable. As long as the capital flow No problem, when the time comes to fight a price war with Xiao Jue, we will have enough confidence."

"Really?" Liu Xiu, Liu Xi and Hai Tang were overjoyed. Liu Su didn't mention this matter. She originally planned to keep it as a surprise for Nan Jin, but it's a pity...

"Susu, what you said is not true, is it? Did you really take down the Emerald Mountain in the southwest of the Mobei Islands?" Haitang was overwhelmed with surprise, her cheeks burst into a faint pink. The news was so exciting that there were pirates With help, mining is much faster, and the problem of Fengjia's funds can be solved soon.

Liusu looked at their surprised faces, nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, Mobei Haiwang said that I can send people to mine at any time, and now is the right time!"

"That's great, Susu, you're amazing!" Haitang wanted to go over and kiss her, and solve many hidden problems at once. The crew would have other jobs, so there would be no commotion, and the ship company wouldn't have to waste a fortune. Give them a home.

"Yes, this news came too timely. I will register personnel immediately when I go back, and I am ready to go to sea to mine Pei Cui at any time!" Liu Xiu said pleasantly.

Liusu raised his hand to stop it, "Don't say anything, so as not to let the wind leak, you send someone to register first, wait until you go out to sea, and it's not too late to tell them when you arrive at the Mobei Islands!"

Haitang nodded, she admired Liusu's thoughtfulness from the bottom of her heart, everything was done impeccably, with the air of a general, with the Feng family's ship in her hands, she would definitely be able to bring the dead back to life, she had such confidence in her!

Nan Jin really has a good eye!

"Let's start with these two things now. Liu Xiu and Liu Xi are in charge of the mining of the Emerald Mountain in the Mobei Islands. Auntie, keep these customers first. You should think about how to deal with them. By the way, the Xie family belongs to them too." One of the biggest customers, based on his friendship with Nan Jin, he will not abandon us. If you say hello to him first and ask him to cooperate, things will be much easier. They will also give Junliu face of."

Haitang nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, I understand how to do it, but you, who have begun to understand the intrigues of the business world, actually let me talk to Jun first?"

At Haitang's joke, Liusu smiled faintly. The light smile was elegant and gentle, very pure and beautiful, "Didn't you say that businessmen are treacherous?"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and then talked about some details before leaving the study.

Haitang sent Liuxiu and Liuxi out, her eyes were bright outside the house, a fragrance of peach blossoms was blowing in the air, Tassel sniffed deeply, an elegant smile slowly appeared on the corners of her lips, she raised her head, covered her eyes with her hands, The sun shines through the fingers, covering the whole body warmly.

The sun is still so bright!

Full of hopeful temperature!
