The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

After getting out of the carriage and standing at the entrance of Dinghe Restaurant, a group of children descended from several carriages following behind.

"Today we have become the king of children!"

King Qian counted silently in his heart, seven and a half children came to the Xia family, plus his own Li Yuzhu, two to eight, the princess was not wrong when she said that she became the king of children today.

"Go up first, there are too many people standing at the door."

The second floor of Dinghe Restaurant.

Inside the room.

King Qian, Xia Jing, Li Yuzhu and the children of the Xia family sat around the big round table.

This was the first time the children came to Dinghe Restaurant after they came to Lingnan, and they all looked at Xiao Er serving them in amazement.

Boys each have a cup of horseshoe juice, and girls each have a cup of longan tea, together with a variety of snacks, at least when watching the dragon and lion dance upstairs, the children will not be idle.

"If you want to watch the dragon and lion dance, you can lie down by the window and watch it. Don't be restrained when you come out to play."

Seeing that the children were afraid to speak loudly in front of King Qian, Xia Jing comforted them.

After listening to Xia Jing's words, the children glanced at King Qian and saw that he smiled at them. The bolder children stood up and moved the chairs to the window to sit down, so that they could sit and eat snacks while watching the dragon and lion dance team on the street.

The timid child looked back at King Qian and Xia Jing, and seeing that they had no objection, he boldly moved the chair over.

Now it's all right, there is a child sitting by the window facing the street.

Li Yuzhu and Li Yingzi are about the same age, so they have a lot of common topics.

"Now that Sister Yuzhu is engaged, you should feel at ease, right?"

Li Yuzhu lay by the window watching the crowd downstairs, and shook her head: "It's still the same as before, the only difference is probably that you don't have to attend banquets as often, and deal with the wives who are in charge."

"It's bothering you to attend a banquet. I want to attend a banquet but no one invites me."

Li Yingzi's tone was a bit sour, who made her family's situation so ordinary.

She is the daughter of Xia Jing's sister Xia Ni. Although her surname is also Li, it is a thousand miles away from the royal family's Li surname. Their Li family is an ordinary small merchant.

Back then, he and the Xia family opened a shop in the town, and later the two got married, and the situation didn't change much.

To say that what really changed was that after Xia Jing married into the Qian Palace and became a princess, the situation of the Li family improved.

Taking advantage of Princess Qian's shareholder style, many local gentry and tycoons would give the Li family some face, which made the Li family's business pick up.

But even with such an east wind, even a pig can fly to the sky, but perhaps because the Li family is not good at business, after more than ten years, they are still standing still, and the family business has not grown much.

An outsider's comment on the Li family is: A Dou who can't afford it!

Li Yuzhu patted her hand and comforted her: "You are still young, you can choose your fiancé slowly, and you have to choose the one that suits you."

After all, Li Yingzi is still young, so she won't pay attention to worrying things for too long. Once she heard her words, she immediately attracted her attention.

She leaned over and asked with a gossipy face: "From what you said, Mr. Yuan San is very suitable for you?"

Speaking of Young Master Yuan, Li Yuzhu couldn't help but blushed a little. She quietly turned her head to look at Xia Jing and King Qian, and saw that they didn't notice them.

She said in a low voice: "It's okay, he looks imposing and caring about me, it's hard for me to find faults in him, besides, there is no such thing as a perfect man in this world."

"Oh~"

Li Yingzi made a long voice, thoughtful.

She touched Li Yuzhu, and asked in a low voice: "My family is not as good as your palace. It seems a bit difficult to find a man with a good family background. You said that if I find a talented scholar from a poor family, and then train him, how about letting him treat me well for the rest of his life?"

Li Yuzhu: "."

After a long time, as if digesting the words just now, Li Yuzhu asked in surprise: "Do you want to stage a love story between a poor scholar and a rich daughter?"

Hearing this, Li Yingzi rolled her eyes at the sky, "My family is at most a little bit rich, and it's far from being rich."

Li Yuzhu retorted unconvinced: "Just because you are grandma's niece, it is impossible for you to marry poorly in the future, so you are still young, don't think about whether you have these things, grow up well."

Li Yingzi shook her head, and said old-fashionedly: "You don't understand, if people don't have foresight, they must have near-term worries. Important things in life should be considered in advance."

Li Yuzhu: "."

Well, everyone's worries are different!
In this world, there are too many things to consider.

Seeing that the two girls were chatting excitedly, Xia Jing left King Qian and came over, "What are you two talking about, is the dragon and lion dance downstairs nice?"

"grandmother."

"Aunt."

"Huh!" With the din of gongs and drums outside, Xia Jing found that the members of the dragon and lion dance team were all good-looking.

Li Yuzhu looked downstairs and asked curiously, "Did grandma find anything?"

"I found that the dragon and lion dancers downstairs are all very strong, and they are far from the soldiers we recruited this year!"

Xia Jing pursed her lips. During the conscription, the men who came to apply for the army were all thin and thin. When they arrived at the barracks, they had to practice and feed them meat.

It turned out that the ready-made strong males were recruited by these dragon and lion dance teams.

"This situation is normal. The aristocratic family spends a lot of money on these people every year. How can their bodies not be strong!"

Xia Jing and the two little girls looked back at King Qian who was standing behind them.

Xia Jing shook her head, "That's not all. Didn't you find that the chassis of these players is very stable and their steps are light?"

Li Yuzhu looked downstairs, paying special attention to their steps, "Not to mention, after my grandmother reminded me, I really found that these people are not simple, and they all seem to have a foundation in martial arts."

Xia Jing smiled and rubbed her head: "Zhu'er is right, their martial arts are not low, and these are the talents our army urgently needs."

King Qian knew that Anu had investigated the details of various families, but he heard him mention it.

"The players recruited by the big families are basically from Jihua Township." Qian Wang asked with a smile, "Have you ever heard of Jihua Township?"

Xia Jing raised her eyebrows, "I don't know!"

King Qian was proud, and finally found something he knew that the princess didn't know. "Jihua Township is a famous hometown of martial arts in the south of the Five Ridges. The Southern School of Martial Arts originated here. The people in Jihua Township have been influenced by martial arts since childhood. Families with conditions can start training their children at the age of three. Families without conditions will let their children learn one and a half moves even if conditions are created."

Li Yuzhu said in shock: "According to grandfather, do people in Jihua Township have martial arts foundation?"

King Qian laughed out loud, glanced at Xia Jing, and replied, "It's almost like this."

Xia Jing wondered if Jihua Township is the Foshan of later generations?

Later generations of Foshan have extremely profound historical and cultural heritage.

The hometown of overseas Chinese, the hometown of pottery, the hometown of Cantonese opera, the hometown of dragon boats, there are simply not too many famous places!
"Auntie, Yuzhu, look at that man is so handsome!"

Li Yingzi's exclamation brought Xia Jing back to her senses, and when she looked outside, not to mention a purple dragon, the person dancing the dragon's head was too eye-catching.

He has a vigorous figure, three-dimensional facial features, and thin lips tightly pressed. The most eye-catching thing should be the coldness and alienation between his eyebrows and eyes.

This aura seemed familiar, Xia Jing took a closer look at it, exasperated!
acquaintance!

Isn't this guy Tong Song, the young master of the Tong family!
Apart from having a good skin, she still has some ability, but she is too proud!

"Young masters from aristocratic families in Lingnan are still keen on dragon and lion dances?"

This has come to the stage of playing in person, and there is nothing to explain it except love.

Li Yingzi turned her head in surprise: "Auntie, do you know the person below?"

Xia Jing looked at Li Yingzi's shining almond eyes, and was dumbfounded for a moment: "."

"Auntie, do you know who he is?" Li Yingzi looked back at the dragon lantern dance team going away, and asked again.

Xia Jing coughed softly, "Cough, he is the young master of the Tong family, one of the four major families in Lingnan, named Tong Song."

"Wow, the young master of the family, the family background is better than mine!"

"Ahem, your family background is not bad!" King Qian couldn't listen anymore, he couldn't see the little girl belittle himself.

From Xia Jing's point of view, the status of the concubine's niece is not bad.

Xia Jing looked at the two red clouds on the little girl's face, feeling extremely envious.

How nice it is to be a little girl, the estrogen in the body is secreted vigorously, and it should be a good feeling to blush when seeing a handsome man.

It's a pity that she has entered middle age!

Of course, according to later generations, Xia Jing's age is not too old, and at most she can only be classified as an advanced maternal age.

Looking back at King Qian again, although he looked good when he was young, he still had hot eyes!
Although the former fat man has lost weight, but now, after losing weight, the skin on his body is too loose, showing his old appearance, how can he compare with his young and energetic younger brothers.

"Auntie, where are the dragon and lion dance teams passing by downstairs going?"

Xia Jing looked down, "This is not the best place to watch, I'll ask Ye Fei to find out where these teams are going to gather?"

King Qian who was standing behind touched his nose, he overestimated the butler's ability to handle affairs.

Just about to inquire here, Anu knocked on the door and walked in.

"My lord, my concubine, my little masters, there are especially many people who came out to watch the dragon and lion dance this year. Due to the venue problem, we finally decided to move the venue of the dragon and lion dance competition to the north square of the city."

"North City Square!"

That is the big square in front of the Xinfu Yamen, and it is no problem to gather tens of thousands of people.

Xia Jing stood up, "Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry over."

"However, we didn't reserve a private room in the north of the city square." Anu said in a low voice.

This matter is due to their lack of consideration as slaves. If the masters can't have fun, it's their fault.

Xia Jing opened the door, listened to his words, and said with a smile: "Don't forget, who built the real estate in the north of the city? The north of the city I built has the best shops in the north of the city. My salt shop has a wide view and is the best place to watch it."

Children cheer!
Chengbei Salt Shop occupies the best location and sells the cheapest table salt. It is Xia Jing's fourth salt shop in Lingnan Fucheng.

The shop is five stories high, the first floor is a salt shop, and the second to fifth floors are where Xia Jing plans to work for Xia Ji.

That is Xia Kee headquarters.

Xiaji Salt Shop, it is said to be a salt shop, but in fact it sells a lot of miscellaneous things.

Things like kombu, jasmine tea, dried seafood, cane sugar, longan meat, etc. are all on sale.

Moreover, these goods are very popular with merchants from other places, and the sales performance has been good.

For example, jasmine tea, dried seafood, cane sugar and longan meat were the most common items in grocery stores in the past.

But in Xia Jing's hands, the goods are carefully selected, and then ordered to be packed in high-end porcelain bottles. There are packages of various sizes and capacities, which can meet the needs of different customers.

With such a package, the grade has been improved, and the price of these dry goods has increased several times.

Xia Jing on the fifth floor thought it was too hot in summer, so she set up an office for her on the fourth floor.

As soon as the children entered the office, they all ran to the floor-to-ceiling windows to watch the dragon and lion dance competition in the square.

Xia Jing looked at King Qian who was strolling in from behind, "Please feel free."

King Qian nodded and found a sofa to sit down on. The soft cushions are very comfortable to sit on. "Princess, you know how to enjoy yourself."

Xia Jing said with a half-smile: "My lord, I am not as good as / of my lord."

King Qian: "...I really praise you."

Xia Jing raised the corners of her lips slightly, "I also really praise you."

"."

This woman really has the ability to piss people off!
King Qian turned his head to look out of the window, and found another topic, "Princess, your window here is too big, right?"

"My lord, this is called a floor-to-ceiling window!"

King Qian looked at Xia Jing with the eyes of an idiot.

Xia Jing was inexplicably looked at, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

King Qian pointed to the window, "You have also seen the violent storm in Lingnan this summer. I heard from the locals in Lingnan that this year's wind and rain are not too heavy. If your window is facing the hurricane that the locals call it, can it last?"

"."

Xia Jing was silent, no one could tell what would happen to the hurricane.

But Xia Jing couldn't do it if she said that if she was afraid of the hurricane, she would design the windows to be very small.

The windows are too small and really block the view.

Thinking of this, Xia Jing remembered the flat glass that did not exist in this era.

If glass is made, such a solid wood lattice window with glass is really not afraid of hurricanes.

Unless there is an unprecedented super hurricane!

"There are still a few months before the hurricane period this year. There are always more ways than difficulties. Let's think of other ways then."

"It's still my princess who is open-minded."

Xia Jing wanted to stroke her forehead, why did she feel so awkward hearing these words from King Qian?
"princess."

Ye Fei's shout came from outside the door.

"Please come in!"

Xia Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Fei pushed the door open, walked quickly to Xia Jing, and handed her a letter.

Xia Jing took it and looked at the sealing wax on it, it was intact.

"Who sent the letter?" King Qian couldn't help asking.

Xia Jing didn't reply to his words, opened the letter, read it at a glance, and then handed the letter to King Qian.

King Qian took the letter, "What did the letter say?"

Xia Jing: "Look for yourself, the leisurely days won't be too long."

"It's unreasonable, they are all traitors, all traitors!" After reading the letter, King Qian was so angry that he slapped the table and yelled.

This sudden situation frightened the children sitting in front of the window.

"When Dayu was in danger, they actually acted independently, without any scruples about the emperor Jiankang. What are they trying to do? Want to change the dynasty?"
