Chapter 1 The rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings

The Dragon Bird Dynasty, a corner of the southeast.

March day, sunny!

In the early morning, the golden sunlight had just dispelled the mist in the air, and a moon-white tent carriage slowly drove out of the gate of Mingfu.

The wheels ran over the bluestone and made a clattering sound. Even though the bluestone road was flat, the carriage continued to shake slightly. Mingyue leaned against the side wall tiredly, closing her eyes slightly to cultivate her spirit.

Next to Mingyue, there were thick stacks of books. I stayed up all night yesterday before I completed the review of books for this quarter. Now, he needs to send these books to thirty-two stores along the way.

Three years ago, Mingyue came to this world inexplicably. At first, he was a little confused and sad, but as time passed, he became accustomed to this world and accepted his identity.

Compared to his previous life, Mingyue is still very satisfied with her current identity. Xiantai Mansion, the eldest son of the Ming family, one of the four major families, is rich and has a wealth of wealth.

If this world is really a certain dynasty in the history of previous lives, Mingyue is impeccable about her current life.

"Young Master, the streets today are more depressed than the previous two days..." The little servant who was driving the car suddenly said.

"It's only early morning... It's normal for no one to have anyone!" Mingyue rubbed her eyebrows slightly and replied lightly.

But this sentence is just to give the dog a comfort. Depression is depression and has nothing to do with the early morning.

When Mingyue just traveled, there were only twelve shops in the Ming family, but in a short time, since Mingyue began to take over the family business, Ming family's shops have been opened one after another.

Although he was just a music student in his previous life, his knowledge and ambiguous information far beyond the times made Mingyue become the top young talent in Sintai Mansion, and he was even called a natural businessman by his father.

The Xiantai Mansion is very big in the eyes of ordinary people, because most people have never left the Xiantai Mansion in their entire lives. But for Mingyue, it is very small. He finished the thirty-two shops just after noon.

The Mingjia Rouge Shop is the last shop on Mingyue’s itinerary. In this world, two kinds of people make the best money, one is a rich man and the other is a woman.

"Zhanggui Tong, in this quarter, Mingjia Rouge Store's sales are the highest among the 32 shops. I am very satisfied. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhanggui Tong will get double portions of this annual bonus..." Mingyue had a slight smile on her face, and her tone was as warm as a breeze.

"It's the eldest young master who has good leadership, and Tong dares not take credit." Zhangguan Tong bowed humbly, with his expression on his face both sincerity and respect. Although the eldest young master is only nineteen years old, in terms of business affairs, they are not as good as the shopkeepers for decades.

"I asked you to leave special tears of lovesickness. Have you left it?"

"The eldest young master gave a special order, how dare the young man not keep it..." As he said that, Zhangguan Tong quickly turned around, took out a brocade box from the counter inside, and handed it to Mingyue's hand respectfully.

"Yes!" Mingyue nodded with satisfaction. She turned around but was stopped by Zhangguan Tong.

Mingyue turned around and looked at Zhangguan Tong's entangled expression, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, "What do you mean by Zhangguan Tong!"

"Master, I also know that the boss is also anxious because of the four major bandits, but... if there is no new stock to fill, the Rouge Shop will close..."

"I understand! Open the shop with peace of mind, it's okay." Mingyue said, left the Rouge Shop and got on the carriage.

"Master, where are you going now?"

"Chelai Building!"

The carriage moved slowly again, and soon stopped at the door of the Kelai Building. The waiter of the Kelai Building quickly came up. The Ming family's carriage was treated with VIP everywhere.

"Young Master Yue, what do you want to eat today?" The waiter enthusiastically brought Mingyue into the private room.

"It's better to be the same!" Mingyue went through the window of the private room and went down to a group of people from the world with swords, guns and sticks in the lobby below.

"This... Mr. Yue, I'm not to hide it... I'm afraid you can't eat it today..."

"What? Today's business is so good?"

"If Mr. Huiyue said that it is not that the business is good, but that a good wife cannot cook without rice..."

"Well, then just do some things!" Mingyue also knew the current situation of Xiantai Mansion. The little girl didn't say anything, and Mingyue didn't refuse.

"Have you heard that? Wangjia Village in the east was slaughtered overnight..." A man from the martial arts world gently put down his wine bowl, sighed with a solemn expression and said slowly.

"Is this really happening? When did it happen?" Suddenly, dozens of people from the martial arts world around him turned their heads and asked.

"Just yesterday, I followed the words of my brothers from Juyancheng. They passed Wangjia Village on the way they came, which was so tragic. The whole village, both men, women, young and old, were slaughtered. The entire village turned into scorched earth, and all women were not in a short distance. These four major bandits were really heartbroken and angry with each other!"

"It's strange. These four major bandits have long been entrenched near Xiantai Mansion. Although they have done so many evil things for twenty years, they have never dared to be so arrogant. But now, why have these four major bandits suddenly become so powerful?

Not to mention that the government had no choice but to deal with them, even the four major families in Xiantai Mansion were unable to resist. If it were before, how could the four major bandits dare to touch the caravans of the four major families? The four major families sent people many times, but they all went but never returned.

He had no choice but to issue a reward order. As long as he got the heads of the four major bandit leaders, one of them could be exchanged for tens of thousands of taels of gold!"

"Hmph, the four major bandits do such evil deeds and are angry with each other. Why do we need the four major families to reward ten thousand taels? We will definitely not let them be free. Our horse gang chief has sent a message. Soon, the gang leader will lead his troops to come."

"Then the relationship is good. Our master of the Qingzhu Gang has already set off. The day he arrived... I think it's been a few days..."

Listening to what was said downstairs, Mingyue's brows frowned tightly. The storm was about to come and the wind filled the building, and a strong uneasiness once again rose in Mingyue's heart.

The first time I was uneasy was when I just traveled through time, and when I learned that I had no spiritual roots like all living beings. But now, it was for this world.

It is said that money is good, and money can make the devil push the mill, but is it really the case? Just four big bandits can make a county government panic. If you can't settle down in this world, what can you do if you make more money?

Thinking of this, Mingyue suddenly lost her appetite. She handed the snacks in front of her to Gouzi, picked up the napkin on the table and wiped the corners of her mouth.

The dog's appetite was good. He swallowed it all and ate all the snacks in front of him in a few seconds.

"Young Master, are you going home now?" Dogzi turned around and asked.

"Go to the Qinyin Chess Club!" Mingyue thought for a while and said.

Qinyin Chess Club is the only high-end brothel in Xiantai Mansion. The so-called high-end brothel is the legendary selling arts but not selling oneself. But is it really that way? Mingyue can only smile.

The carriage did not stop at the main entrance of Qinyin Chess Club, but turned into the side door. The side door was the backyard of Qinyin Chess Club, which was not welcomed to the outside world. No one was allowed to break in. If you want to enter, you had to ask the three big men at the door with tendons all over the door.

But unexpectedly, Mingyue's carriage drove into the side door so easily, and the guards on both sides seemed to have not seen it at all.

"Young Master Yue is here... have you used the meal?" As soon as the carriage stopped, the maid Qiaoqiao walked over, her eyes shining with spring, looking at the bright moon like a bay of autumn water.

The dog who was driving the car looked at Qiaoqiao and suddenly showed a stupid smile on his face. Unfortunately, in Qiaoqiao's eyes, there was only Mingyue at this moment.

"Qiaoqiao, is your lady here?"

"Which is having a meal... The lady said, and she took the young master in."

"Okay!" Mingyue took out the brocade box from the middle of the carriage and followed Qiaoqiao to the attic slowly.

The pearl curtains are fresh and elegant. A young woman about 17 or 18 years old wiped the corners of her mouth softly. She waved her hand slightly and asked Qiao Qiao to take the plate.

Miaoyin's eyes were circulating, and she glanced at Mingyue slantedly, "You just stared at someone for dinner without blinking... Why, do you like watching women eat?"

"No, I just like watching you eat..."

"Hehe... Master Yue's words sound nice! Who would have thought that the famous and romantic young master Yue of Xiantai Mansion is a perfect martial arts cynic. If I want to tell you, others must think I am a fool..."

"Nothing incredible... Just like, no one can believe that Mr. Li, the boss behind Qinyin Chess Club, would be Miss Miaoyin, the No. 1 daughter of Xiantai Mansion."

As he said that, Mingyue slowly presented the brocade box in her hand with both hands, "I hope Miss Miaoyin will accept it with a smile..."

“What is it?”

"You open it and you'll know!" Mingyue smiled gently and said softly.

"The gift from Mr. Yue has never been a gift that won't make people happy." Miaoyin said while opening the brocade box. When she saw the rouge powder in the brocade box, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Tears of lovesickness! I made Qiaoqiao run away from seven or eight rouge shops and said it was gone... I didn't expect you to have it..."

"I specially kept it!" Mingyue smiled faintly.

"My Master Yue is a caring person, knowing what I want..." Miaoyin said, her tender eyes skimming over Mingyue's eyes like autumn water. "Now the four major bandits wantonly robbed the caravans, and many shops in Xiantai Mansion have closed down. If this continues, it will cause panic..."

"The government will find a way. My father said that the prefect Chen has asked the court for help."

"Official?" Miaoyin smiled disdainfully, "If the government is useful, the four major gangs would not have been entrenched in Xiantai for twenty years! Mr. Yue, it's not Miaoyin's exaggeration. I think... Your Ming family should have made plans early."

"Three days ago, our four major families gathered the most elite team and set out, and we must open up a business road. Even if the four major bandits are cruel, our four major families are not easy to mess with." As he said that, Mingyue slowly stood up, "I have been sitting here for half an hour, so I will say goodbye..."

"Hey! Wait!" Miaoyin suddenly stopped Mingyue, "The thing you asked me to look for before the New Year... I found it."
