Poor family mother and son

It's already past midnight, it's the sixth day of August.

By August [-]th, there are less than nine days. Running from the southernmost point of Daxuan to the northernmost point, nine days is really impossible.

Chu Qing's eyes shone brightly: "Take the waterway, walk along the inland river, and enter the canal. Then let Hou Ze take us through the small tributary and turn into Yuzhou, and let the golden eagle deliver the message to the other side and prepare the Vosma;

As soon as we land, we will work hard. Even if we can't catch up to fifteen, we can still catch up to sixteen! "

Xiaobao estimated it and thought it was almost doable, but another question came to his mind: "Then we won't even have time to prepare gifts!"

Chu Qing said: "Yes! Isn't Jizhou divided into two now? Wushu Village now belongs to Jiqing Mansion. When you go back soon, you can ask the golden eagle to pass the message, and directly open a bookstore there for Mr. Xie's private property. ;

Mr. Xie likes to read and travel, but he is too old to leave. Let’s open a bookstore for him. He can sell it if he wants, or keep it as his own bookcase if he doesn’t want to. He can have all the books he wants to read;

Also, take your copy of "The Big World" and give it to Mr. Xie. "

"The Big World" is an enlightenment picture book written by Xiaobao at the suggestion of Chu Qing. It is based on Xiaobao's growth experience, in which Mr. Xie's teachings to Xiaobao account for a large proportion.

When Xiaobao was still in the "pure Xiaobao" stage, Mr. Xie's in-depth and painstaking teachings to him have always been something he will never forget.

Therefore, in the illustrations in the book, Mr. Xie is depicted as he really is, and he is also called "Mr. Xie". He is drawn very carefully, but the students are drawn more sloppily.

It can also be seen that Xiaobao didn't care about other children back then. He only had Mr. Xie in his eyes.

Chu Qing felt that giving such a book to Mr. Xie would be the best gift from a student to a teacher.

Xiaobao: "But that one is just a sample book."

Chu Qing said: "I'll tell you when I get home soon and print it immediately. The first batch will be sent to Jiqing Mansion!"

Let Mr. Xie know that his teachings will not only cultivate Xiaobao, an "uncrowned king" known to students all over the world, but will also benefit more children, and his name will also be spread along with the books.

The bookstore is for profit, and the books are for fame. Fame and fortune are both for you, so let's repay them.

People in the world ridicule the pursuit of fame and wealth and advocate indifference to fame and fortune, as if everyone is a sage, and use these two words to express satire and metaphor to others.

As everyone knows, if you don’t become famous, how can you be known even if you are a sage?
Therefore, when people in the world ridicule others for pursuing fame and fortune, they must also draw a line - whether the other person is only pursuing fame and fortune.

When advocating indifference to fame and wealth, you should also think about whether other people's indifference is really unnecessary or unearned.

No one does not need fame and fortune. One is spiritual pursuit, and the other is material need, just like people need food and water. Only those who pursue fame and fortune by any means are shameful.

People like Mr. Xie seem to be indifferent to fame and wealth, but in fact they are helpless.

The road to the imperial examination was difficult, and he was unable to make progress, so he devoted himself to education, but was suppressed by the atmosphere of the government school. However, this did not eradicate his enthusiasm for education.

In a small and remote place like Wushu Village, he taught village school. From every meal, to pen, ink, paper and inkstone, to running a "winter class", he always considered the future of children of all ages.

He takes care of everything by himself, but when he has free time, he still has to judge disputes and diagnose diseases for the villagers.

Isn’t such a person worthy of fame?Not worthy of living in abundance?It's just that he lives in a corner and is not known to anyone.

Mr. Xie is older and may not have many needs, but who doesn’t want to leave a name in history for the rest of his life?Even if they can't, Chu Qing and Xiaobao thought, they must at least let Mr. Xie's feelings be spread.

Just go.

By noon on the sixth day of August, Chu Qing and Xiaobao were already dining on the boat.The mother and son were traveling all year round, but they were not afraid of the fatigue of traveling and traveling. God seemed to know their mood and was very cooperative, making the journey smooth and no trouble for them.

When I arrived at Yuzhou, I received the news that "Jin Er" had brought back from Voss.

Compared with Jin Da, Jin Er seems to be more reliable.

From time to time, Jin Da would delay his business by chasing delicious food, but Jin Er always put delivering letters first, so that when Xiao Bao saw Jin Er, he was so thin that he seemed to have only a handful of feathers left.

"You stupid bird," Xiaobao fed Jin Er a fresh grouse that had just been plucked, so that it wouldn't waste any more energy. "You should fill your belly first. Alas, you are more reliable than your incompetent husband." There’s a lot of music!”

Chu Qing opened the letter that Jin Er brought back. It said that the White House and Xuanren Street had changed their surname to Chu.

The White House was the compensation that the fourth prince of Voss, Kailidi, had to compensate Xiaobao due to Chu Qing's strong attack.

Xuanren Street is a leisure and entertainment industry built by Xiaobao along the edge of the White House land.

But at that time, Kelidi was unwilling to let Chu Qing take over such a large property of his, so he used a cunning trick to make Emperor Xuan suspect that Chu Qing was building a "small court" in the Kingdom of Voss.

The ensuing suspicion of treason and the investigation taken by the court gave Chu Qing a hard time.

Later, when the Chu Qing Dynasty became a marquis, he resigned from his position of real power. Xiaobao also gave up the White House and Xuanren Street and gave it to Daxuan's legation in Voss.

Xiaobao came over to read the letter together.

The golden eagle has a weak load-bearing capacity and can fly long distances, so the letter paper is not easy to be too thick, so the letter paper in Chu Qing's hand was full of small words the size of mung beans.

The basic content is to relay the embassy's congratulations to Duke Yong'an for becoming a prince, and congratulations to the White House for finally returning to the Chu family.

"What congratulations," Xiaobao curled his lips: "They really want our family to take over as soon as possible!"

Chu Qing: "Well, I also think their congratulations are a bit untimely."

If you really want to congratulate me, why didn't you send the message earlier?It’s been more than half a year since I was promoted to Duke!
Xiaobao knows the inside story best and said: "Xuanren Street was originally a leisure and entertainment industry that relied on the White House and faced the middle-class consumer group;
But after the embassy took over, it became the backbone of the White House. Without the material supply from our Chu family, Xuanren Street can only be called a snack street, and the food sold can only be mainly made from Voss people;
Except for comb shops and footwear shops, cloth shops, silver shops, perfume shops, brothels, theaters, etc. are almost all closed. Even comb shops and footwear shops are in poor condition;
But this is the size that the legation can barely sustain;
The White House was taken over by the legation. If it weren't for the snacks on Xuanren Street to maintain its popularity, the White House would basically have to close down;

There is also King Gu Li. He is the one who covets the White House the most. He has always wanted to take possession of it. If the legation is loosened, it will really have to change hands;
But does the embassy dare?

That time they were besieged by the Voss army, but they were all frightened!
Therefore, the embassy did not dare to change hands no matter how hard it tried. Without Xuanren Street and the White House, it meant that there were no Xuanren people around to help. "

Chu Qing felt that the embassy was really miserable. It had been several years and the court had not given them strong protection.

Xiaobao said: "The legation knows that our family has grenades and artillery. As long as our family takes over again, it will be equivalent to them having a strong army to ensure safety."

In fact, Chu Qing didn't say it clearly when she asked Kelly for Xuanren Street. What she said was: "Since you agree to join, the shop must be opened in the royal city."

Kelidi immediately said that they would negotiate with the embassy to buy back Xuanren Street and the White House and still hand them over to the Chu family.

Because Kelidi didn't want that place to be taken advantage of by King Guli, and no one could take advantage.

And he could also see that Daxuan's embassy could no longer hold on.

But even if he gets the White House back by himself, with his current lack of privileges, he cannot turn the White House into a cash cow again. Then it is better to continue to let the Chu family run it. The Chu family needs to open a store anyway.

"Oh, the embassy also made a fortune from Kelidi." Chu Qing said with a smile. (End of chapter)
