Invincible son

Qinzhou, Chengjing City.

Shen Danmo has never had a temperament of hurting spring and autumn, even though he is very concerned about Mo Moyun's safety, he will not indulge in that kind of uneasy mood.After letting most of the guards of the Shen family follow Mr. Xi to the north, there is not much she can do. Apart from praying for those who care about each night, the rest of the time is devoted to the research of the Xiangyun.

Before leaving, Mr. Xi gave her a certain amount of authority, and she can look up most of the information on the Xiangyun account, but she cannot intervene in the specific operation of the company for the time being.

Looking all the way down, Shen Danmo felt extremely shocked.

This firm, whose framework was constructed by Pei Yue and Mr. Xi personally presided over the development, was completely different from her inherent cognition of making money and making a living.

From last year's drought relief to take advantage of the situation, and now it will be a year, Xiangyun has maintained a low-key but steady rhythm. Under the care and cover of Qinzhou governor Song Ximeng, 92 main stores have been established so far, covering all major cities in the five states in the south.

This number does not seem to be comparable to the more than [-] branches of Kyoto Xiangyun in its heyday, but the size of each main store is almost the same as that of the main store.In addition to the other two large firms that seem to have nothing to do with Xiangyun, but are actually secretly controlled by Mr. Xi, the three firms have a total of nearly [-] shops that have taken root in various places, and have continuously penetrated into the daily lives of the people in the southern border.

Before seeing these changes, Shen Danmo had always slandered Pei Yue, thinking that it was a waste of money for him to let someone like Mr. Xi run the business, but now she had to admit that Pei Yue's vision was beyond her imagination.

She still remembers the spring rain season many years ago, when she learned about Pei Yue's existence from her father, and then the two started a short and warm pen pal relationship.Through those letters, they talked about a wide range of topics. Shen Danmo was good at historical theories and allusions, while Pei Yue was good at those whimsical ideas.

The method of making sand and stones, more powerful textile technology, various practical utensils and skills that Pei Yue mentioned in the letter, these ideas that she regarded as whimsical at the time, actually gradually appeared in various parts of the southern border.

This process from scratch made it difficult for Shen Danmo to express his feelings, as if he saw the appearance of the Creator with his own eyes.

The internal structure of Xiangyun is also different from her impression of ordinary companies. After observing it for a long time, she can only evaluate it in terms of efficiency and simplicity.

She has heard about the prosperity of the southern border for a long time, and now it seems that Pei Yue has quietly injected new vitality into this place through the Xiangyun Nourishing Things, and that positive attitude touched her deeply.

Recalling his obsession for nearly 20 years in the past, Shen Danmo couldn't help but smile bitterly. He thought that Pei Yue was like another self, and his advantage was only a male body, but now it seems that he is much inferior after all.

Her ideal is to get out of the court and enter the palace like Princess Qi Yang, but Pei Yue's focus is on the common people. Although there are still many details that she can't understand, she can vaguely feel that Pei Yue wants to change the world little by little.

Shen Danmo didn't reveal his thoughts in front of others, and couldn't help learning more about the specific operation of Xiangyun.For her, this is a novel and vast world, and it seems to be more attractive than the previous obsession with entering the dynasty.

Because of this, she was not very willing to waste time meeting that honored guest from the south, but this was a very solemn request from Mr. Xi, and she certainly could not break her word.

The first meeting between the two unfolded in an unharmonious atmosphere, and the attitude of the other party was somewhat intriguing, but Shen Danmo was thinking about the few words Mr. Xi said before he left.

Why must she be asked to meet this daughter of the Qinghe Xu family, and why should she try to have in-depth communication with the other party?
Xu Churong is no stranger to Chengjing City, she passed through here twice last year, and she also took a little stroll with the company of the guards at home, but her mood is naturally different now.

She looked at the furnishings in the room indifferently, and said in a serious manner: "Sister Shen's family is indeed the most talented woman in the capital of the Northern Dynasty. Even if she is a guest in a foreign country, she still carries so many authentic works of famous masters with her."

There seemed to be a bit of hostility in these words, Shen Danmo didn't take it seriously, raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "So what about a talented woman, it's just a false name, how can it compare to Qinghe Xu's millennium inheritance, even in the south, it is second to none."

Xu Churong was a little surprised, then laughed and said, "Sister Shen really doesn't want to suffer."

Shen Danmo even refused to suffer in front of Ye Qi, let alone this little girl from the Southern Dynasty, so she raised the corner of her mouth and said lightly: "It sounds like you know me very well."

Xu Churong nodded and said, "I heard Pei Yue say it."

Shen Danmo repeated: "Pei Yue?"

Xu Churong realizes that this title is a bit close, but she is no longer the young lady who grew up in the greenhouse, especially through the cooperation with Mr. Xi and Xu Huiyan's acquiescence in the past half a year, she has gradually established her own power, and she has nothing in her heart. Those thoughts of worrying about gains and losses, so I calmly said: "What's wrong?"

Shen Danmo smiled and said calmly: "You are more honest than I imagined, but I'm just curious. How you call him actually has nothing to do with me."

Xu Churong finally came to his senses, shook his head and said, "I should have figured it out a long time ago, how can a beautiful and intelligent woman like Sister Shen's be willing to become a concubine like Ji."

Shen Danmo smiled and said: "You didn't see Mr. Xi, so you thought I came to see you as Pei Yue's roommate?"

Seeing her being so honest, the slight hostility in Xu Churong's heart instantly melted like ice and snow, and he sighed: "No wonder I feel kind when I see the sister of the Shen family. .”

Shen Danmo found it quite novel, and it was hard to imagine that the favorite of the chief assistant of the Southern Dynasty would have such a cunning temperament, and his climbing skills were not weaker than Pei Yue's.

She didn't reject the goodwill shown by the other party, and changed the topic: "Although the peace talks between the two countries have been reached, if you appear in Daliang territory as you, don't you worry about potential safety hazards?"

Xu Churong said calmly: "At least for a year and a half, there will be no danger for me to go north quietly. In fact, I came to find that Mr. Xi this time because there are some things that cannot be left to others, and it is difficult to explain clearly in the letter. Since Mr. Xi asked the sister of the Shen family to meet me, and I must have said the same thing to you."

Shen Danmo asked with interest: "What's the matter?"

Xu Churong said softly: "The situation in the country is turbulent, both in the army and in the court. There are all kinds of chaos. His Majesty has already turned gray hair. Seeing that the building is about to fall, some people hope to find a way out in advance. They know that we Because of my relationship with Pei Yue, I secretly found me and asked me to take a few representatives north to see the situation."

Shen Danmo blinked and said: "If I heard correctly, this should be regarded as collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. How could your father allow it?"

Xu Churong sighed softly, and said quietly: "Even if I don't come, they will find other ways. To tell you the truth, the Shen family's sister, His Majesty's control over the court is much weaker, even if my father submits these matters to the imperial court, he will not be able to do so." The effect of killing chickens and monkeys will instead put the Qinghe Xu family in a dilemma."

She paused, and said calmly and decisively: "As Pei Yue said before, if the overall situation cannot be reversed, then at least you can avoid unnecessary casualties if you are in your own hands."

Shen Danmo pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "I can make preliminary contact on behalf of Mr. Xi, but this matter definitely requires Pei Yue's nod. Sister Xu, I'm afraid you will have to stay in Chengjing for a while."

Xu Churong said: "I understand that correspondence takes time."

Shen Danmo shook his head, and said slowly: "I mean, Pei Yue is still fighting against the barbarians in the northern border, so I can't reply to you in a short time."

Xu Churong said calmly: "It's okay, I can wait."

Shen Danmo stared at the girl's face, suddenly feeling a little emotional.

Although she concealed it well, the subtle changes in her expression did not escape Shen Danmo's eyes.

Shen Danmo couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity."

Of course Xu Churong understood what she meant when she said it was a pity, with complicated emotions quietly showing in her eyes, she said in a soft voice: "Things are often unsatisfactory in the world, even if it is a pity, you have to learn to accept it, and you can't be a child who hasn't grown up forever."

Shen Danmo was silent for a long time, with a relieved smile on his face, he nodded and said, "That's right."

Looking at Xu Churong who had quickly escaped from her sentimental emotions, she seemed to understand what she had been pursuing all along.

Turns out it wasn't that hard to make a choice.
