Chapter 39: Chapter 39
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Muxi moved his fingers and found that his limbs had been frozen to the point of numbness.
The moon is as cool as water.
The cold wind smashed the vegetation in the courtyard, making a whining sound that surrounded the entire mansion, like the cries of a homeless beggar wrapping his clothes tightly and huddled under the corner of the wall in the cold night, disturbing people's minds. rather.
He was the only one left in the courtyard, standing there stupidly, looking at the empty tree in front of him.
Bai Muxi came to Qi Ming's room with a dazed expression. There were no lights in the room, because no one lived in it for many days, so the servants did not put Tang Pozi and a heater in this room. The room was very cold, and everything was stacked neatly. Neatly.
He bypassed the screen by the moonlight, came to the bed, stroked the clean mattress, and sat down slowly.
Qi Ming left.
Didn't say much, just came to bid him farewell.
Where are you going?
will you come back?
Do we have a chance to meet again?
Bai Muxi didn't have time to ask a word, he thought, even if he asked, he might not get an answer.
Bai Muxi sat on the bed in a daze. After a while, she felt that it was too cold, so she kicked off her boots, threw herself on the bed, and stretched out her hands to wrap herself in the neatly folded quilt.
The nose is buried in the quilt, and what I smell is the aroma of saponins. The servants in the family are very diligent. The quilts of the owner's house are removed and washed every three to five days. They are hung on the rope at noon and exposed to the sun.
There was no smell of Qi Ming left.
Bai Muxi got up suddenly, went to the wardrobe with bare feet, and opened it.
He ordered a lot of clothes for Qi Ming, but Qi Ming didn't have much interest in it. He turned over and over again and found the clothes from the early days. The rest were brand new in the closet and hadn't been touched. Bai Muxi searched for a long time, but couldn't find Qi Mingchang. Out of the coats she was wearing, she turned out an inner coat.
He bought this underwear at a clothing estimate shop, and it didn't fit him well, so he took it out for Qi Ming to make do with when he was the poorest, and Qi Ming has been wearing this underwear to sleep for more than half a year.
Some time ago, he thought the linen clothes were rough, so he made Qi Ming a new undershirt, and put the undershirt in the corner of the cabinet.
Bai Muxi pulled it out, lay back on the bed and wrapped herself up again.
This dress has not been worn for a long time, and it does not have the smell of Qi Ming. Instead, it has a faint woody smell after being left for a long time. Bai Muxi hugged it in his arms, as if he had returned to the time when the two were squeezed together. On a bed, he entangled Qi Ming like an octopus, was hugged by Qi Ming, and slept soundly and sweetly.
The past suddenly appeared in front of him, Bai Muxi's eyes became hot, and he hurriedly buried his face in the pillow, as if he would not shed tears this way.
That way you won't look useless.
Not too sad either.
……
In the cold wind, Qi Ming stood on a high place, quietly looking down at the Baifu in the distance.
Xu Fei stepped out of the darkness and slowly appeared behind him.
"Decided?"
Qi Ming responded lightly: "Yes."
Xu Fei sighed: "Boss Bai is such a good person, are you really willing?"
Qi Ming was silent.
Looking at Qi Ming's back, Xu Fei couldn't bear it. Knowing that it was useless, he still wanted to persuade him: "You really want to take this step?"
"You used to say that instead of wasting time indulging in the hatred of the past, it is better to cherish the present and the people in front of you."
Qi Ming said coldly: "Facts have proved that this is a lie."
He looked at the Baifu with all the lights out, and said without a trace of anger in his tone, "I can't do it."
Xu Fei looked at him and said in a low voice: "I know, you hate yourself for implicating the brothers..."
"But……"
"If I were them, I'd rather you let go of your hatred and start your life again."
"I don't want you to sacrifice your own life in order to avenge this ghost, and let down your lover's infatuation for nothing."
Qi Ming was unmoved, he turned around and looked at Xu Fei: "He, please..."
Xu Fei couldn't persuade him, he could only watch him leave and walk into the darkness alone.
Embark on a dead end from which there is no turning back.
Leaving a long sigh in vain, wandering quietly in the dark night.
……
This winter is extremely cold.
In the coming spring, flowers will bloom, but there will be a bright and beautiful spring.
With the arrival of spring, Bailiuji's business has also ushered in a new look. The Lincheng branch opened one after another, and it is booming.
The long-time caravan has gradually become Bailiuji's exclusive caravan, and supply is no longer a problem.
With the help of Gu Yinxin, Bai Muxi and Liu Chuyun established a relatively mature management system, and managed the business of their seventeen branches in an orderly manner.
Xiaoyu became Bai Muxi's personal bodyguard, Qiuniang and Qiu Chu acted as Bai Muxi's assistants, Wang Meng and Xu Weiyu were not just shopkeepers of a branch, they were promoted respectively, and managed the branch operation together with Bai Muxi, only Wen Wen Still young, still studying.
Bai Muxi set up a special research and development department, convened a group of professionals, signed a confidentiality agreement, and began to develop new products based on the prescription in Bai Muxi's hands.
In the summer, Bailiuji also opened a store in Yancheng and cut the ribbon.
At the beginning, Xu Fei was enthusiastic about opening a branch, but he was too impatient to start a business. After trying to manage it for a short time, he quit. Bai Muxi wanted to return the tens of thousands of taels he had thrown out at the beginning. He, Xu Fei didn't want a penny, and tried to discuss with Bai Muxi,
Bai Muxi wanted to open a shop in Yancheng, but there were many people in Yancheng, so Xu Fei sent his younger brother to support Bai Muxi, and Bai Muxi paid some wages.
Bai Muxi couldn't laugh or cry, it sounded like she was collecting protection money.
However, Bai Muxi paid the protection fee willingly. After all, he also used Xu Fei to contact many people in the Jianghu these days, found a lot of business opportunities, and was eager to try.
After Bai Liuji established a firm foothold in Yancheng and gradually spread its reputation to the rivers and lakes, the Gu family of Yuanshanji entrusted Gu Yexuan and Gu Yinxin to send invitations to Bai Muxi, and held a banquet for Bai Muxi in Wanfang Building.
In the fall, Bailiuji launched a new product, the Face Fat Nursing Sun Balm, which is more affordable and more suitable for the common people. Once launched, it became a hit.
In the same month, reached a cooperation agreement with Yuan Shan Ji.
Outside Wanfang Tower, Gu Yexuan and Gu Yinxin brothers and sisters sent Bai Muxi and Liu Chuyun off, chatting and laughing as they walked out. They made an appointment to go to the South Lake to taste tea and enjoy the scenery.
"At first, when my second uncle told me, I was so embarrassed, I was afraid that you were still thinking about those things before and refused to show your face."
Bai Muxi smiled: "How could it be? It's been so long, and besides, it's not a big deal, it's not worth worrying about."
Gu Yinxin also laughed: "Look at how well behaved my second aunt is this time, she didn't dare to say a word, she was smiling all the time."
Gu Yexuan glared at her, and signaled her to save some face for her second aunt, Gu Yinxin raised her brows, put her arm around Liu Chuyun and laughed together, turning a blind eye to it.
There were several carriages parked outside the building. In front of Baifu's carriage stood Xiaoyu and a young man with a handsome face and a tall stature.
Seeing Bai Muxi coming out, the young master greeted him with a smile.
Looking at the scene of the two walking side by side, Liu Chuyun showed a gratified smile, while Gu Yinxin touched her shoulder and said in a low voice, "How about it, I have a good eye, don't you?"
Liu Chuyun winked at her, um, not bad!
This young son, surnamed Pei Mingyan, is from a well-known family in the city. He has a profound background and has contacts in the business world. He is familiar with Gu Yinxin, Gu Yexuan and others. Long Yang, however, does not mess with flowers and grass, and is very clean and self-respecting.
After Qi Ming left, Bai Muxi was depressed for a long time, focusing on doing things wholeheartedly, and repeatedly rejected the kindness of everyone who wanted to introduce him to a caring person.
Until the end of this summer, business was booming, and Bai Muxi's mood gradually changed, so Gu Yinxin saw the right time and asked Pei Yan and Bai Muxi to meet together.
It's not clear what Bai Muxi was thinking, but Pei Yan fell in love with him at first sight, and often asked him out to relax, Bai Muxi finally didn't turn him away like before, the two often went out to drink tea and listen to music together, and the days After a long time, I became acquainted with each other.
A big stone in Liu Chuyun's heart finally fell to the ground.
The Yixin Teahouse next to the South Lake is built by the lake, and Pei Yan has reserved a private room where he can see the scenery of the South Lake at a glance.
Everyone went upstairs talking and laughing, and sat by the window.
It was in the evening, and the glow of the brocade-like sunset glowed a piece of warm yellow light, reflecting on the sparkling lake, it was really beautiful.
The man brought some refreshments, and everyone enjoyed the scenery while having tea.
Pei Yan and Gu Yexuan are also good friends. Bai Muxi concentrated on looking at the scenery. He was considerate and didn't disturb Gu Yexuan, so he turned his head and complained to Gu Yexuan: "After a while, Quanzhou said that there will be a sword test meeting, and the post was delivered to my home. I was just about to ask you Go together, and you tell me that you are going on a long trip."
Gu Yexuan grabbed a handful of melon seeds, feeling very helpless: "I'm different from you, I'm very busy, so let me tell you a month in advance."
Pei Yan gave him a white look.
Bai Muxi turned his head curiously: "You also know swordsmanship?"
Pei Yan raised his eyebrows: "Of course, stronger than Ye Xuan!"
Gu Yexuan: "Blow it and you will! Last time, whose hand was swollen for half a month when I slapped it with a sword?"
Pei Yan quibbled: "That's your sneak attack! Victory is unarmed!"
Gu Yexuan: "It's obvious that you are careless and unprepared, and you still make excuses."
Seeing the two bickering, Bai Muxi couldn't help laughing.
Gu Yinxin asked her cousin: "Where are you going this time? There are so many exciting things going on recently. If you leave, won't you be able to make up for everyone?"
Gu Yexuan's face fell down: "Life is hard, I have to go to Los Angeles for a trip."
Bai Muxi also grabbed the melon seeds and ate them: "That's not far away."
Pei Yan frowned slightly: "Luocheng? What are you going to do in Luocheng now? I heard that the place is not peaceful recently."
Gu Yexuan: "Hey, there is a problem with the business, let me handle it in the past, why is it not peaceful?"
Pei Yan shook his head: "I haven't asked about the details, but I vaguely heard from my father that Los Angeles has been a little unsafe recently, so let the people below try to avoid that direction during this time."
Gu Yexuan scratched his chin: "Luocheng... Luocheng is so big, and there are several big bosses in town, what can happen?"
When everyone was at a loss, they suddenly heard someone laughing outside.
"I can't go to Los Angeles now."
When everyone looked over, they saw two middle-aged men in short clothes eating melon seeds and pouring tea into their stomachs as water.
Pei Yan asked: "Dare to ask you two, why can't you go to Luocheng now?"
The two men obviously heard their conversation, so they answered the question, Pei Yan asked, and they answered casually, with a bit of a lively smile when answering.
"There's a big boss nailing a lonely branch in Los Angeles."
Bai Muxi was taken aback: "What is nailing a lonely branch?"
Pei Yan explained to him: "It means a one-on-one fight, a decisive battle."
Bai Muxi nodded.
Gu Yexuan was puzzled: "It's none of my business if they single out theirs."
But the man shook his head greatly: "The problem is that the heads-up failed. The boss' opponent regretted it, and the opponent's accomplices made a sneak attack, which became more than one duel. I don't know what went wrong in the middle, but in the end it brought disaster to everyone." Chiyu onlookers, alas, I heard that the murderer was horrible that night, blood flowed like a river."
"I heard that that group of people hid, and everyone who saw them was silenced. People in Los Angeles are panicking recently, and those who regret their lives had better not go."
Gu Yexuan frowned: "Who is this with whom? There is such a big commotion in Los Angeles, and those sect masters don't talk?"
The man laughed: "How many people can make such a big commotion in Los Angeles without anyone daring to speak up?"
"Sword God Qi Ming!"
The sound of 'snap' was the sound of the teacup falling on the table.
