Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 146
There are three long tables in a row, with Qu You sitting at the front, and Qu Chunsheng and Qu Qiusheng sitting on both sides of the table.After Qu Dongsheng left the academy for vacation, he went back to his room to study Qu You's paintings and calligraphy, and didn't participate in these things at all.

"It's Mid-Autumn Festival today, let's make a long story short." Qu You cleared her throat and opened her mouth lightly. "Compared with last year, everyone's living conditions have improved this year, houses have been refurbished, rice fields have had a bumper harvest, and they have more money in their pockets."

As soon as Qu You's words came to an end, the crowd burst into applause.

"The red envelope is ready, two hundred coins per person. In addition, two catties of raw pork, one chicken, two catties of moon cakes, and two fish." Lingyou stepped forward and announced loudly.

The workers heard that the boss had prepared everything for the festival, and it was so rich that they hardly needed to buy anything else, everyone laughed from ear to ear.

The villagers of Qinghe Village and Jiangjia Village had already experienced it last year, and they are better now.

The villagers of Heilin Village standing aside were dumbfounded. Their village was the poorest.In previous years when the festivals came, every family would be extremely worried, and it would be nice to have a decent meal, but now the Qu family is sending out things that they dare not even dream of.

"Business is good, everyone's red envelopes and benefits will increase. But..." Qu You turned to the Heilin Villagers of the third team.

"Don't worry, my boss. We understand the rules. The wages paid by my boss are already enough for the festival." Lin Shou and Lin Chang stood up and said gratefully.

"Although there are no red envelopes, you still give out benefits." Qu You glanced lightly, knowing that their conditions are not good, but this is public and private, and they cannot be confused.

What, they can also share benefits.The villagers of Heilin Village looked at each other excitedly and jumped up and down happily.

After Qu You finished speaking, he gave the roster to Huan Shan, and asked Huan Shan to read the names of each family. First, he went to Qu Chunsheng to get red envelopes, and then went to Qu Qiusheng to get pork, moon cakes, chicken and fish.

Because things are claimed by name, everyone only needs to claim their own, which will avoid confusion and be more efficient.The workers lined up in an orderly manner, one team of men and one group of women. After getting the things, they handed them all over to the person in charge at home, and then returned home with bags and baskets.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the factories of the Qu family were closed for the holiday. Only the Jinyumantang restaurant was full of people, and tables after tables were open. Birthday banquets, Mid-Autumn family banquets, and friends' gatherings, all of a sudden, the restaurant was full of people. The kitchen is very busy.The tree fruit wine brewed by Mou Junyang is especially popular in Jinyu Mantang. Under the instigation of the poisonous lady Liao Caiyi, the tree fruit wine has been sold for a sky-high price of two taels of silver a glass.

These days, Qu You not only watched Mu Qianhun secretly, but also ordered someone to watch Liao Caiyi secretly. He didn't feel relieved until he was sure that there was nothing abnormal about the two of them.

"Miss, let's come to see my servant." On the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, as soon as Qu You stepped into the restaurant, Liao Caiyi came up softly with her back foot.

"You have so many eyes to swipe at you every day, why do you need me." Qu You turned his head and joked.

"Hey, who said that the natural beauty of the slave family is hard to abandon." Liao Caiyi squeezed her left hand into a lotus shape, and held a brocade handkerchief in her right hand, sliding her fingers across her cheeks in self-pity.

Pfft... Qu You laughed.This shameless spirit is really comparable to Yunluo's.However, thinking of Yunluo, it seems that I haven't seen him for a long time.Qu You lowered her eyes, feeling a little depressed.

"Miss, let's go to the kitchen and have a look. Our business has been doing really well these few days. Hey, that's really a fortune." Liao Caiyi waved a small handkerchief and smiled charmingly. .

Heh, this little girl really looks like a coquettish proprietress in a hotel.Seeing Liao Caiyi's appearance, Qu You gradually bent over with a smile.

"Liao Caiyi, from today onwards you have been officially appointed as the female treasurer of Jin Yu Man Tang, why do you have the confidence to do well."

Let, let her be the shopkeeper, Liao Caiyi looked at Qu You in disbelief, and was stunned by the sudden luck.

"What, is there a problem?" Qu You asked.

"Sister Liao, Miss is asking you something." Huan Shan stepped forward and patted Liao Caiyi who was still in her dream.

"No, there is no problem, thank you miss." With tears in her eyes, Liao Caiyi blessed Qu Youfu with gratitude.That's great, after leaving the rivers and lakes, she has never known what to do, if she hadn't been brought back by Mu Qianhun and rescued by the young lady that day, maybe she would have died in the wilderness.

"Work hard, a woman can hold up half the sky." After Qu You finished speaking, he patted Liao Caiyi on the shoulder, didn't go to the kitchen, and walked out of Jinyumantang with Huanshan.

Employers do not suspect, suspects do not.Now that he decided to use Liao Caiyi, Qu You believed that she could do well.After the three-day holiday, the letter of appointment appointing Liao Caiyi as the treasurer of Jinyu Mantang was posted in every corner of the Qujia factory.

The manager of the farm is a woman, and at this time such a prosperous restaurant is actually managed by a woman.The three workers who went to work in the village began to discuss incomprehensibly.

"Hey, I really don't know what this owner thinks. It's fine for the woman to be in charge, but this huge restaurant actually has a woman as the shopkeeper. Isn't he afraid of being messed up?" That good employee was standing on the bulletin board, looking at the letter of appointment and commenting on it at the same time.

"Although this woman can hold up half the sky, don't we have any old men in this village? We must let a girl come forward to lead the battle." Where there is a start, there will be support. At this time, another employee interjected.

"You are so good, why doesn't the boss use you, and give you back." The female employee retorted with her back straight.

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Some unconvinced male employees suddenly yelled.

"What are you arguing about? Have you forgotten that the boss is also a woman?" A word awakened the dreamer, and the unconvinced male employee broke out in cold sweat instantly, looking back and forth in fear.

"Okay, okay, let's go, get to work quickly, or the money will be deducted." While everyone was discussing, Jiang Zhiwen stepped forward to disperse the crowd.

As soon as Jiang Zhiwen's words fell, the employees coaxed, scattered in all directions, and rushed back to their posts, as if the crowd gathered just now was an illusion.Looking at the backs of the workers walking away, Jiang Zhiwen shook his head helplessly. In fact, sometimes he was curious about the decision of the boss, but curiosity was nothing but curiosity, and he would not refute or discuss.Since the owner did this, he must have his own intentions.Without diamonds, porcelain work, and the establishment of such a huge industrial empire, the power of the owner should not be underestimated, and their thoughts are not something they can guess or influence.

Three days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was originally agreed to go to the Jinyi Pavilion in Baiguo after a good year, and he also set off on the road.Qian Si and Qian Ji led the team, and led two hundred members of the Yu group who had achieved a little success in martial arts, and embarked on the road to the south.Before leaving, Qu You brought them all the martial arts cheats in the manuscript. No matter how much you can learn, you must always be prepared.

"They will return safely." Qu You stood in the forest, watching Qianji and others go away, his eyes gradually darkened.

"Miss, please don't worry, Qiansi and Qianji will be safe and sound." Mu Qianhun looked ahead and assured her in a loud and clear tone.

"How long will it take?" Qu You turned around and asked.

"If it goes well, Jinyi Pavilion will spread all over the Tianqi Continent within three years." Mu Qianhun stood beside Qu You and said confidently with his hands behind his back.

Three years is fine.Three years later, she will let the Qu family's property spread to every country in the Tianqi Continent, and let these powerful men see that even if she wants to move her Qu family, she must weigh the forces behind her. Weigh those weights.

After sending Qianji and the others away, Qu You took them back to the main house. After some simple washing, she closed the door and went back to the room alone.

Luoning—Main Hall of King Yan's Mansion
It has been a while since Chu Yu and Chu Xu came back. At this time, the situation in Beijing is very tense. Emperor Ming Hui is seriously ill. The fourth prince Chu Xian has already mobilized the dark sons in the court. He wants to jointly hand over the son, and asks to support the eldest prince Chu Ming. For the prince.

"Old Jiu, Chu Ming has already bought several civil servants. I heard that even the servant of the Ministry of Rites, who usually doesn't care about things, has been bought by them. It seems that we have to guard against it." In Yanwang's mansion, Chu Xu held a teacup and looked at him. The seriousness in it is suddenly visible.

"Civilian..." Chu Yu snorted coldly.

"Don't underestimate civil servants, some of these sour scholars have the ability to deceive people."

"Enter the palace tomorrow."

"Enter the palace?" Chu Xu was puzzled.

"Clarify the situation first, don't act rashly." Chu Yu lowered his head and played with the jade pendant he snatched from Qu You, tenderness appeared on his indifferent face.

I'll go, what time is this, we can't talk about business properly.Chu Xu rolled his eyes helplessly, and drank his tea speechlessly.

"Is the prince in there?"

Just when Chu Xu was about to speak to provoke Chu Yu, a soft female voice sounded from outside the study.

"Reporting to Wangfei, the prince is discussing matters in the study." Outside the study, Luo Yu replied respectfully.

"I have something to see the lord." Princess Yan Jiang Lingcan raised her head and signaled Luo Yu to go in and report.

Please see me, when will the cold and aloof Princess Yan want to see me so urgently.Chu Xu turned his head and looked at Chu Yu, then pouted coldly.

"Luo Yu, let the concubine come in." Just when Luo Yu was about to reject Princess Yan, Chu Xu's voice sounded in the study.

"Princess, please..." Luo Yu bowed his head sideways, and respectfully opened the door of the study for Princess Yan.

"Let's go." Princess Yan raised her chin lightly, signaling the woman behind her to follow her footsteps.

The concubine actually brought someone over to the prince's study, Luo Yu opened his mouth in surprise.I didn't look carefully just now, but now I look at it this way, good guy, isn't this Lin Fang, the eldest daughter of Zuo Prime Minister Lin Ziyang's concubine.

Princess Yan led Lin Fang into the study with her head held high, and she didn't show too much surprise when she saw Chu Yu in the study, as if she had already guessed that he would be here.

"The concubine greets the prince, and the ninth master."

"My servant greets His Highness King Yan, and Prince Rui." Princess Yan and Lin Fang stepped forward to bless their bodies one after another, and saluted in an orderly manner.

"Wangfei is exempt, Miss Lin is exempt."

"Emperor's wife is free."

Prince Rui's tone was always the same. After Princess Yan and Lin Fang finished their ceremony, they didn't care about Chu Yu's attitude, and stood up to Chu Xu's side.

"Jiu Ye, this is Lin Fang, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Lin." In the strange atmosphere, Jiang Lingcan spoke to break the silence.

……

Chu Yu didn't look up, and was still playing with the jade pendant in his hand.

"My daughter, I have met His Highness Prince Rui." Lin Fang raised his head shyly and glanced at Chu Yu.

"Why, the eldest daughter of the concubine failed, so he sent the eldest daughter of the concubine again. Could it be that old man Lin is a picker of trash when he is the king?" Chu Yu looked at Lin Fang coldly and sarcastically.

"My lord..." Lin Fang glanced at Chu Yu sadly, and the circles of his eyes instantly turned red.

"Miss Lin said carefully, there are two princes in this room, please don't call me bad." Chu Xu glanced at Lin Fang sneeringly.Mrs. Lin thought of a good way. If the concubine's daughter fails, he will send the concubine's daughter to fight. This king really wants to see how many daughters he has.

"My lord." Lin Fang knelt down with a 'bang'. "Father asked the courtier to come and seduce the prince, but the courtier refused, but the courtier couldn't help herself."

Lin Fang dragged his legs forward two steps, knelt beside Chu Yu's legs, turned his face sideways, showing the fairest neck, and cried like a little flower knocked down by rain, soft and weak.

"Oh, in that case, Miss Lin was forced to fail." Chu Yu snorted coldly, and the cold air burst out instantly.

"Fang'er doesn't dare to extravagantly ask for the favor of the prince, but only wants to die peacefully in the prince's mansion. Every day, the blue lanterns and ancient Buddhas bless the prince, and he is satisfied." Lin Fang looked at Chu Yu with affection in his eyes and tears in his eyes.

"Sister-in-law Wang, since Ms. Lin can't wait to enter the mansion as a concubine, why don't you carry a sedan chair into the mansion." Chu Yu ignored Lin Fang and just looked at Jiang Lingcan sneeringly.

"Miss Lin's favorite person is the ninth younger brother. How can I forcibly plunder an innocent girl from the palace of King Yan." Jiang Lingcan rejected Chu Yu's proposal righteously.

The net worth is clean, huh... Chu Yu smiled disdainfully in her heart, turned her head and did not answer.

"Miss Lin..." In the silence, Chu Xu sneered.

"The servant girl is here."

"Does your Lin family think that there is no one in our Great Chu Kingdom, and you have repeatedly provoked the majesty of my Great Chu Kingdom's prince? What is the meaning?" Chu Xu slapped the table vigorously, immediately startling everyone in the room .

The servants in the room lowered their heads silently, trying to minimize their presence, in order not to let the anger burn their upper bodies.

"My lord, yes, it's my daughter who is being reckless. But, my daughter really loves Prince Murui." Lin Fang sobbed while looking at Chu Yu, his red eyes were full of charming drunkenness.

"I have something to do in the palace. This king will go first." Chu Yu got up and flicked his cuffs. Without even looking at Lin Fang, he walked around the kneeling people and walked out of the study door.

"My lord..." Lin Fang broke down in tears and fell to the ground in an instant.

Chu Yu led the people out of the gate of King Yan's Mansion, without turning his head, he turned over the door and ran back to the mansion.

"Master, what does Old Man Lin mean by this? If one fails, another one will come?" Qin Yufeng, who was impatient, stepped forward to ask the group as soon as the group arrived at the palace.

"Old man Lin doesn't know how he became an official. Could it be that his family has many daughters, so the prince has to take over? It's really fanciful." Wei Heyu said sarcastically.

"A concubine dares to take the position of Princess Xiao Xiangrui. I don't know where she got the confidence." Su Yiran followed closely behind Chu Yu, sneering as he walked.

A few people said something to you, and to me, Chu Yu frowned.

"Don't gossip in front of the princess, or don't blame me for the military law."

Hey... The people behind him stopped abruptly, looking at the distant figure in disbelief.The concubine is in Feiyun City, which is thousands of miles away, even if they want to chew their tongues, they have nowhere to chew.Besides, the term "tongue-chewing" seems to be referring to those gossips. How could the prince use it on them? Several people looked at each other wanting to cry without tears, and followed Chu Yu dejectedly.

In Luoning City, the concubine daughter of the Lin family tried her best to get close to Chu Yu.But in Feiyun City, Qu You tried his best to make money.Recently, she has developed a brewery, a vegetable oil factory, a fertilizer factory and a movable type printing factory, and has also won over villagers from the nearby Lishui and Baixi villages.Now Qujia's factory is completely integrating production, wholesale, and sales. It not only recruits agents and franchisees, but also opens its own store for sales.

Seeing that there was not enough manpower, Qu You found Su Yapo again, and bought a hundred servants of death contract from her at the price of eight taels of silver each. Among the 100 people, there are males and females, old and young. After registering the roster, Qu You handed over all these servants to Mu Qianhun, and let him send the younger ones to Jinyi Pavilion.Those who are a little older and have no value for cultivation will be arranged to enter the mansion as current people.

"Miss, this servant found something, I don't know if I should say it or not." Huan Shan smiled and opened her mouth hesitantly.

"What's the matter?" Qu You started working with both hands, while playing the abacus, he asked Huan Shan casually.

"It's a happy event, Miss will be happy to hear that." Huan Shan smiled mysteriously.

Happy event, what kind of happy event can make her happy, Qu You looked up suspiciously.

"We're going to have a wedding in our house."

"Who is with whom?" Qu You was taken aback.I haven't heard of it, who is getting married to whom, why is there no news at all.

"I've been busy recently, so it's no wonder Miss forgets." Qu You asked, and Ling You also snickered.

"You stinky girls, hurry up and say it." Qu Youxiang glared at them angrily.

"It's the second young master and Miss Zhou." Since Mr. Li was invited into the academy as his teacher, everyone called Zhou Li'er Miss Zhou.

Second brother and Li'er, Qu You immediately beamed with joy after listening to it.Okay, that's great, it's not in vain that she introduced them to each other with all her heart, it seems that these two people are really a bastard looking at mung beans, no, no, they really look right.

"Auntie, can you go to Mr. Li to propose marriage?" Qu You asked.

"The eldest lady said that Miss Zhou is the princess of the Bai Kingdom, and she is a little timid about proposing marriage." Dai Rou explained softly.

Miss Zhou is the princess of the Bai Kingdom, yes, how could she forget about this, Qu You slapped her forehead, her thoughts became a little messy.

"What did Mr. Li say, there's no way he didn't hear the wind." Qu You turned to Huan Shan.

"Mr. Li said he respects Ms. Zhou's wishes." Huan Shan replied respectfully.

"Okay then, bring the presents and let's go to propose marriage." Qu You put down his abacus and hurried out the door.

　Thanks to all the goddesses who subscribed, you are my source of motivation, collectively!
