Chapter 186 187. Deng Yuanhang receives guests
Deng Yuanhang crossed his arms and looked at Gu Wenheng, who came here for no reason. "What kind of wind is blowing today? It blew a busy man like you here."
Gu Wenheng walked straight past him and went inside, "Come over to throw the darts, and quickly receive the guests."
Deng Yuanhang pointed at himself and said, "I receive customers?" If it weren't for the height difference, he would have pushed the person out. It was really unpleasant to hear this.
Gu Wenheng, "You haven't been to the academy these days. Mr. Nan has asked you about it several times, and his expression has become uglier each time. Are you sure you want to continue like this?"
Deng Yuanhang said with a bitter face, "I don't want to do that either. There are too many trips to and fro, and now all the useful people at home have gone out, so I have to guard this base camp.
After I send off this escort mission in the next two days, I will definitely go and listen to your teachings."
"If it doesn't work, just hire two more people. If you hadn't come here to study, your escort agency might not have been able to continue operating." Gu Wenheng shook his head, looking at the empty escort agency. There were too many loopholes in this operation.
Deng Yuanhang, "It's not that simple. Even if it's temporary training, it won't be done in a few days.
In fact, we had enough manpower, but I don’t know what happened during this period, so many people traveled in groups, and the manpower was suddenly exhausted.”
Gu Wenheng touched the bridge of his nose. It seemed that this was really related to him. When various business companies set out to various parts of the country at the same time, they would generally hire an escort agency to go with them.
Seeing his guilty look, Deng Yuanhang confirmed his previous guess, "The batch of goods that came into the port some time ago must have something to do with you! I remember getting some soap from you before. Although the appearance is a little different, the use is the same."
Gu Wenheng coughed a few times and said, "I hope you can keep it a secret."
When he came here, he knew that Deng Yuanhang had already guessed it, but he was too busy to get away, otherwise he would have come to get to the bottom of it.
"Well, I'm suffering these days because of you," Deng Yuanhang walked over and hooked his shoulder, "You've really hurt your brother. Now let's talk about compensation."
Gu Wenheng, "..."
"I've delayed so much of my studies and left a bad impression on Mr. Nan. I've been so busy all day, and if you don't say anything good, forget about leaving today."
"You are wrong," Gu Wenheng pushed the man away from him, "Don't be so clingy, man. Stand still and let's talk."
Deng Yuanhang walked over to the opposite side and sat down seriously. "Tell me! How are you going to compensate me?"
Gu Wenheng looked at him with a half-smile, "Brother Deng, are you sure you don't want to thank me?
Because of me, you can’t handle all the escorts here, and your business has improved to a higher level, which is a great thing!"
Deng Yuanhang: "..." What he said makes damn sense.
But he glared at me, "Don't tell me these twisted theories. Even if I don't send these escorts, it won't affect me. Look at me now. I have even sent out the two followers around me. Have you ever seen a young master as tragic as me?"
"So this is your problem. With such a large escort agency, you should be able to anticipate unexpected situations. It's only been a few extra escort trips and you've been in such a mess. If the port gets busy in the future, with your speed of accepting escorts, you'll probably have competitors soon."
Gu Wenheng said with a look of disdain on his face, "A customer like me has been here for such a long time, and you don't even ask me what I am doing?"
Deng Yuanhang took a deep breath and said, "What kind of escort does this young master need?"
Gu Wenheng, "The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile. With such a tense face, coupled with the open space in your place, I guess no one would dare to throw a dart at you."
Deng Yuanhang slammed the table. "Boy, even though you are a little older than me, don't forget that I am still your senior. If you have something to say, just say it. I don't have the time to chat with you here."
Gu Wenheng took out a letter from his arms and said, "I was afraid you were too busy, so I brought the letter here in advance."
Deng Yuanhang took the letter and asked, "Is there anything wrong at home?"
Gu Wenheng, "It's nothing serious. I'll ask Brother Li Yong to help take a trip. But you really can't do this. No matter what you do, you have to have clear division of labor. How can you take all the people who were originally guarding the store out to protect the escort?"
Deng Yuanhang spread his hands helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. It just so happens that everyone has some skills. If I hadn't gone to the academy, I probably wouldn't know where the escort had gone by now."
Gu Wenheng knew that this was their way of operation for decades. "Then no one was recruited?"
"There are advertisements posted on the walls outside, but unfortunately I haven't found a suitable one yet."
Gu Wenheng looked at him knowingly, "You don't want someone who is good at both literature and martial arts, do you?"
Deng Yuanhang, "Isn't this right? You don't have to know a lot of words, but you have to be able to read them. Otherwise, you won't even recognize the signs and maps along the way."
Gu Wenheng, "Have you ever thought about recruiting people and then slowly training them?"
In this dynasty, if the family didn't have extra money, who would let their children learn to read and write from a young age? What's more, it was even more difficult to require them to be proficient in both civil and military affairs.
"Wenheng, you have a quick brain, how about you give us some advice?" Deng Yuanhang was also having a headache now. In the words of his father, if he failed to pass the imperial examination, he would have to take over the escort agency in the future.
After these busy days, Deng Yuanhang just felt a headache. There were so many trivial things to do every day. He might as well hold a book and work hard to leave this mess to his younger brothers.
Gu Wenheng, "..."

Liu Xiaohua looked at Jin Qianqian hesitantly, "Madam, how about you give me a name too?"
Jin Qianqian was staring at Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan's previous account book, looking at her in surprise, "Why?"
Liu Xiaohua twisted the corner of her clothes and said, "These little flowers and little grasses don't sound as good as the two sisters."
"But this is given to you by your parents. If you redeem yourself in the future, you won't be used to calling it by this name." Jin Qianqian really didn't want to keep the person by her side for the rest of her life.
"I'm not going back," Liu Xiaohua pursed her lips, "I'll follow my wife for the rest of my life."
Jin Qianqian, "Silly boy, I just wanted to talk to you about this today. We won't stay in Haicheng for long. We will go back in the spring of next year. If you have anything to say to your family during this period, just go and tell them in advance."
Although Liu Xiaohua is not as agile as the twin sisters, she is nimble and quick. Jin Qianqian also wants to keep her by her side for a while. After a few years, she can see whether she wants to redeem herself or she can help her find a reliable man to marry.
"I've already been sold, so I won't go back. Madam, please give me a name. I will always be by your side and serve you."
