The scene in the backyard of the Fu Mansion scared Su Mo. Although Su Mo had seen Fu Xiaoguan deliberately exuding murderous aura in the West Mountain Villa, he did not expect that he would actually draw his sword and chop people today.
The movements were neat and efficient, and the whole process flowed smoothly without any delay.
Su Mo knew why Fu Xiaoguan wanted to chop down with that sword, because Fu Xiaoguan would never allow Li Erniu to say Qi's name. If he said it, the matter would be difficult to handle. It would be better to chop back the name that was on the tip of his tongue with a sword.
As for shocking the little girl, it really wasn't intentional, it just had an unexpected effect.
But Chunxiu didn't know all this. She was very scared, and it took Fu Xiaoguan a long time to comfort her.
"Xiu'er, do you think the young master is a cruel person?"
"Xiu'er, that man is not a good person. He stole the young master's secret recipe for brewing wine and sold it to others."
"Really?"
"Of course, it's Qi's. Haven't you seen the Qi's advertisements all over the streets?"
"Did Qi succeed?"
Fu Xiaoguan rubbed Chunxiu's head and said, "How could I, your young master, be so wise and powerful? How could I let him succeed? Qi Yuanming has already lost everything and there is no way to end this."
Fu Xiaoguan called a security guard in to clean up the scene. As for the hand, he smiled faintly and threw it out to feed the dogs.
…
Shibali Lane was crowded with people again because today was August 15th. Qi's Wine Shop said that his new wine would be on the market today, and it tasted the same as Yu Fu Ji's Xiangquan Tianchun, but the price was much cheaper.
This undoubtedly aroused great interest among the literati and wealthy merchants in Linjiang. Some even believed that once Qi's wine was on the market, Yu Fu Ji would be doomed to bankruptcy if it did not lower its prices.
Cai Xi, the old manager of Yu Fu Ji, has been very worried these days, but the young master is in the Xishan Villa in the lower village, and he can't find anyone to discuss countermeasures with. He came here early this morning, and seeing so many people, he became more and more uneasy.
The door of Yu Fu Ji was open, but no one came in.
Those people were blocking the door of Qi's Wine Shop, but the shop was closed.
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and we need to drink good wine during Mid-Autumn Festival.
If Qi's were open, it would definitely be a hot seller today.
The sun was high in the sky, but the door was still closed.
Some people couldn't stand the wait and went to Yu Fu Ji to buy wine, but the vast majority of people were still waiting because word spread that Qi's wine was much cheaper than Yu Fu Ji's.
Another half hour passed, and the door still didn't open.
The crowd began to stir.
"Did the Qi family lie to us?"
"No, that ad ran for ten days."
"Why don't you open the door at this hour?"
"How about... just go to Yu Fu Ji and buy it?"
"You guys keep waiting, I won't wait any longer."
"I personally saw the Qi family buying a huge amount of food. Could it be that there's something wrong with the wine?"
"You should have said something. How can you just leave us waiting like this with the door closed?"
“…”
More people came into Yu Fu Ji, and soon all the wine was sold out.
Cai Xi moved a stool and sat at the door. He really wanted to see what was happening on the other side.
It was not until noon that the angry crowd smashed open the door of Qi's wine shop, and found nothing inside except the Yaoxiang wine.
"You damn liar!"
"Smash his lousy shop!"
"I want to curse!"
"I still want to hit someone!"
The scene was in chaos and the Qi family wine shop was completely smashed and looted.
When these people wanted to buy Yu Fook Kee wine again, Cai Xi had already hung up the sign: Sold out today, please come early tomorrow!
The crowd became even angrier. They were fooled by the Qi family and couldn't buy Xiangquan and Tianchun. Who could they go to for justice?
As a result, the huge crowd of people in Shibali Lane dispersed to all directions of the city, and spread a word: That bastard from the Qi family is a big liar!
For a while, the Qi family became a hot topic in Linjiang again.
At this moment, Qi Yunhong, the head of the Qi family, was sitting in the hall of Zhang's mansion with his son Qi Yuanming and several uncles and brothers.
…
The setting sun was as dark as ink, dyeing the horizon into bright red silk.
Dong Shulan had finished dressing up and was sitting blankly in front of the window, her chin supported by her hands, watching two birds flying in the sunset.
What are you doing at this moment?
Xiaoqi came in trotting, "Miss, here's your letter."
Dong Shulan was delighted and took the letter. The envelope was written in a familiar handwriting, still so ugly, yet so heartwarming.
She was very happy and carefully opened the envelope and took out the letter.
"First of all, I must apologize for writing this letter so late."
"The cement is almost ready. I don't think there will be any major problems. Even if there are any, they can be solved during production."
"The torrential rain in Linjiang this time has devastated the lower villages. The houses in Wangjia Village were washed away by the flash floods, and 23 people died. The survivors have been relocated to the West Mountain Courtyard. I'm thinking of rebuilding beautiful homes for them once the cement is ready."
"I have good news for you. A farmer named Wang Er and his son found me ten very important rice plants. They carefully cared for them, and they are now growing well. These are the first generation of seeds, which I named Fu Yi Dai. The effects of this seed will be seen in the third year, but it will take at least five years to promote it on a large scale. By then, grain prices will have dropped."
"I guessed that when you receive this letter it will be very close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I wrote a poem for you in advance. I hope you like it."
Of course Dong Shulan liked it. She liked both the lyrics he wrote and the chats above. She felt like the two of them were sitting together and chatting while watching the sunset.
She continued reading with a look of joy on her face.
Song of Water Melody: When Will the Bright Moon Appear?
When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the sky.
I don’t know what year it is in the palace in heaven.
I want to ride the wind and go back, but I am afraid that it is too cold up there in the beautiful building.
Dancing with my shadow, it feels like I'm not in the human world.
…
People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions; the moon has its phases of waxing and waning; it is impossible to have everything in life.
I wish you a long life, and we can enjoy the moon together even though we are thousands miles apart.
Dong Shulan started crying, which scared Xiaoqi and she asked, "Miss, did he bully you?"
Dong Shulan choked up and shook her head, then raised her head and looked at Xiaoqi, "Xiaoqi, I'm sure now that I like him."
What did this person write?
Xiaoqi swallowed and said, "Miss... Lanting Poetry Festival, we should set off."
"No hurry, let me take another look at the letter."
Dong Shulan read the letter carefully again, and the man's appearance appeared in her mind.
He worked hard for the birth of cement, planned for the farmers who lost their homes in mountain torrents, and worked hard for food issues. He was so lively, without any of the superficiality of those boastful teenagers.
He must have written this letter at night, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and wrote this poem for me.
May we live long and enjoy the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands miles apart!
I'm waiting for you to come to Beijing. If not, I will elope with you!
