"Ahem, um, you two gentlemen, first of all, let me teach you how to write your names." Wu Ju sat at the top of the two of them, his expression quite serious.
Xiang Yu and Xiang An nodded together: "Thank you, sir."
Wu Ku had already begun his teaching in the room. Outside, Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo stood outside the door, listening to the brothers being taught, and nodded secretly.
"Second brother, you are really caring." Xiang Bo hugged his chest and sighed.
"After all, this is my eldest brother's child, how can I not be interested in it?" Xiang Liang shook his head and walked towards his room, "Where is Liu Jinyu?"
"He is waiting for you in the living room."
"...Let's go and meet." Xiang Liang nodded.
Liu Jinyu was a wealthy businessman, and he could be regarded as the richest person in the ten miles and eight villages besides Xiang Liang. He was a good speculator.
Xiang Liang walked into the front hall and saw a rich man sitting on a chair.
That rich man was Liu Jinyu. When he saw Xiang Liang, he stood up quickly and said, "Master Xiang, long time no see, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Old Liu, how is this winter going?" Although Liu Jinyu likes speculation, he is really good at communication and can always please people. Xiang Liang still likes this chubby wealthy businessman.
"Damn it, how can we build this country without making money?" Liu Jinyu chuckled, "In order to let the people survive this second winter, those newly appointed county governors are rushing to buy food. I can make a profit from this vote.
Quite a lot!"
His smile was a little cunning, which made Xiang Liang frown involuntarily.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about your old sesame seeds and rotten millet. I'm looking for you this time because I have something to ask you." Xiang Liang walked past Liu Jinyu, sat on the chair, and looked up at him.
"Sir, please tell me, as long as it is your business, I, Old Liu, will definitely do it for you!" Liu Jinyu was smart and did not mention the fact that he made a lot of money by reselling grain.
"Let Zishu come back. Isn't he a Confucian scholar? I have two nephews who need to learn some knowledge. He is the most knowledgeable among my disciples. He has not come back since he went out for more than half a year. It's time to come back and play some role.
That's it." Xiang Liang said while holding the corner of the table.
"Zi Shu...Okay, I probably know where he is. I'll help you bring him a message later." Liu Jinyu nodded like a dustpan, "Is there anything else?"
"No, just worry about my business. I'll tell the county guard later that I won't deprive you of anything." Xiang Liang nodded and waved his hand to signal Liu Jinyu to go out quickly.
"Oh, okay, okay, thank you, Mr. Xiang! I'll take my leave now, Old Liu!" Liu Jinyu smiled and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute." Xiang Liang interrupted Liu Jinyu's movements again.
"Hey? Mr. Xiang, do you have anything else to do? As long as you tell Lao Liu, I will definitely do it." Liu Jinyu turned around again and patted his chest.
"I don't have anything else to say. I also know that you are probably sensible, but..." Xiang Liang stood up, his tall body allowing him to look down at Liu Jinyu.
He stretched out a finger and tapped Liu Jinyu's chest: "Hongshang, you have to keep your heart in mind and don't lose your conscience. When that day comes, I won't be able to protect you."
Liu Jinyu couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, and nodded quickly: "Well, that's necessary, sir. I, Liu Jinyu, have never done any business that goes against my conscience. You still don't know that I, Old Liu..."
"Okay, instead of giving me a guarantee here, why not ask yourself if you have done it before?" Xiang Liang waved his hand, "Just do whatever you have to do, just remember what I said."
"Oh, okay, okay..."
Liu Jinyu exited Xiangzhai and wiped the cold sweat from his head.
He has been doing business for many years, and he had already started doing business before Qin Li. To survive in the cracks, he should have been fearless for a long time.
But the pressure Xiang Liang put on him was really not that great.
This is the first time he has dealt with such a person with a military background, and the sense of oppression he brings is completely different from that of others. However, he, Liu Jinyu, still wants to continue doing business in Wuzhong, so he has no choice but to come and visit Wuzhong to be in charge.
People who do things.
Turning his head to look at the plaque of Xiang House, Liu Jinyu sighed and walked along the street.
Let's lower our food prices a little...
...
"Ashu, Ashu——"
Next to the river outside Zijia Village, a little girl was running and shouting.
The little girl is about seven or eight years old. She is very cute and has a trace of anxiety on her face.
"Sister Ahua, I'm here!"
Downstream of the river, a little boy stood up and waved to the little girl.
The little boy looked 80% similar to the little girl, and he looked at the little girl in confusion.
"A Shu! Why did you come here? Grandpa is looking for you!" The little girl named A Hua looked at A Shu angrily.
"Ah? What did grandpa want to see me for?" Ashu was startled and shrank his neck. Could it be that he discovered that I secretly licked a mouthful of lard?
"I don't know, but it seems that daddy has returned from doing the corvée service!" Ahua smiled beautifully, "Let's go back quickly!"
"Huh? Dad is coming back!" Ashu's eyes lit up, "Dad has been away for a year! He will definitely bring us delicious food when he comes back!"
"Absolutely! Let's go back quickly!"
The two siblings started running from the river towards the village.
These siblings are twins. The elder sister is named Zijuan and her nickname is Ahua. The younger brother is named Zihuaai and her nickname is Ashu. They are children who were born and raised in this village.
As soon as the two children walked away with their front legs, someone came to the river with their back legs.
Dressed as a Confucian scholar, he leaned down, dipped his finger into some river water, and put it under his nose.
He flicked his sleeves and looked at Na Pangshan with a frown.
"...the tiger drinks water, but..."
"Um......"
He narrowed his eyes.
"Something weird."
Snapped!
He clapped his hands suddenly, his eyes glowed blue, and he exhaled a thick breath.
"Just let me do a divination to see if it's bad or bad."
After tinkering for a long time, the Confucian scholar frowned and slapped his mouth.
"The weird thing about this..."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to get out in a short time, but..."
"Tsk, it's all my fault that I didn't study hard at the time and couldn't see anything clearly."
He stamped his feet.
"In short, let's find a way to tell Mr. Xiang what's going on here. He has also dealt with this kind of thing."
The Confucian scholar raised his head and glanced at Pangshan, shook his head, turned around and walked away.
The lush mountain forest seemed a little dark and a little strange at this moment.
The birds and insects did not chirp, the apes did not howl, everything was silent.
Even the Tiger Cave was eerily quiet.
There seemed to be something that was silently exuding power around it.
That uneasy, ominous, breathless thing——
Power.
The tiger is no longer a monster. After being worshiped, he can naturally be called a god.
