You are my golden finger

Murong Xu has been particularly clingy these days. Wherever she goes, he follows her, almost inseparable. He also often asserts his sovereignty over Qi Jinghao, which is extremely childish.

"Is it necessary for you? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the kids?" Lin Xijin advised him privately.

"You don't understand. This is a war between men!" This was the answer from the childish man Murong Xu.

Qi Jinghao's manager has left with the contract, but Qi Jinghao himself is still staying in Shiziwo, often making fun of An An.

"An An, I'm going to catch you. Let's make a bet. If you get caught, you'll come back with me, okay?" Qi Jinghao's naughty nature came back again.

"No! You are so shameless!" An An refused as usual.

So the game of chasing and running was played again at home. Although Mimi and Duoduo helped to stop Qi Jinghao, An An was still a child after all, and his skills were not deep enough. An An was often forced to use the mysterious steps, but his light skills kept pace with the times.

During morning exercises, Qi Jinghao often practiced martial arts with a few boys, and in their spare time, they also practiced card playing.

"Come on, let's play cards. I don't believe I can't win." Qi Jinghao started to play running cards again.

It's just that this guy has no talent in playing cards, and with Murong Xu as an off-court coach, the other guys usually beat Qi Jinghao. But he keeps fighting despite repeated defeats, and he's not afraid of being covered in paper on his face like a clown every day.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the rural custom of the Lantern Festival is celebrated. On this day, Li Yuze invited the dragon and lion dance team from Shiziwo to the county government office to perform a celebration performance before the opening of the government office after the Lunar New Year.

Over the past year, Lin Xijin took charge of all construction projects in Qingyuan County. Although a tax-free policy was adopted for farmers, merchants still had to pay taxes. In addition to the portion that was handed over, the county government still had a surplus, and the court also allocated office funds. Therefore, after the year-end accounting last year, the county government finally had some surplus money.

Today, I agreed with Lin Xijin to hold a meeting of the county government, township mayors, and village heads to reward those who have made outstanding achievements in the past year. The county government was crowded and lively.

"Hey, Mayor Wu, congratulations on winning the first prize. Could you tell me how much the first prize is?" Brother Xu asked curiously as he chased after the mayor of Qing'an Town.

"Fifty taels. How much is your second prize?" Mayor Wu asked.

"My thirty taels. It's more than my salary last year. The lady is really generous." Brother Xu answered excitedly.

"Yes, Qingyuan's achievements were made by the princess. We were just running errands, but the princess treated us so well. We have to work harder!" Wu Zhenshang said with emotion.

"Yes, we must work harder!"

"Congratulations, Deputy Mayor Xu!" Hearing this, Brother Xu, who had just been promoted to deputy mayor, was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Almost everyone coming out of the county government office had a smile on their face.

After dinner, Murong Xu pulled An An, Jia Jia and Xin Lan over. They were whispering to each other, and finally the three of them nodded solemnly.

At midnight, Lin Xijin and Murong Xu quietly left home and flew to the back of the mountain. Because Murong Xu had to go to court tomorrow, Lin Xijin could only send him back.

"Jin'er, can you please go back to Kyoto in a few days?" Murong Xu said in a naughty voice.

"Didn't I tell you? I still have to deal with the expansion of several factories. I will be back on the tenth day of the first lunar month, and Xihui and the others will also start school by then." Lin Xijin didn't tolerate him.

Murong Xu had no choice but to hold her tightly and not let go for a long time. Finally, he had to let her go at the right time.

But after returning home, there were often three little tails around him. It was self-evident that they must be spies arranged by Murong Xu. Lin Xijin did not say anything and let them follow him.

I don’t know if Young Master Qi Jinghao is too bored or what he is thinking. He doesn’t go back to the Seven Star Pavilion and just hangs around every day. Lin Xijin is afraid that he will get maggots out of boredom.

On the tenth day, a huge convoy gathered from Shiziwo to Qingyuan, and the group headed towards Kyoto in a mighty manner.

"Miss Lin, see you later!" Qi Jinghao followed her to the provincial capital this time and then said goodbye and left.

"Brother Hao, goodbye!" The children said goodbye to him happily, especially Xijia, Xinlan and Anan, who waved their hands vigorously, as if they had completed the task assigned by Brother Xu.

The journey was smooth and dusty this time, and we returned to Kyoto. After the Lantern Festival, it was time for the Imperial College to open.

After sending the children to school, Mrs. Wu came to visit.

"Jin'er, we've been waiting for you to come back!" Mrs. Wu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Xijin.

"What's wrong? I'm not General Wu, why are you waiting for me like this?" Lin Xijin said jokingly.

"Oh, you just make fun of me. I'm so anxious and the situation is critical, and you still have the mind to laugh at me!" Mrs. Wu said anxiously.

"Alas, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, a 'Yuyan Beauty' store opened on another street not far from our store. The business model is completely copied from our beauty store, but the number of facial washes and skin care products given away when you sign up for a membership card is nearly half more than ours. It immediately attracted a lot of customers."

"Do you know who opened it?" Lin Xijin was not in a hurry.

"It was opened by Princess Yuyao and Wei Wanyu, the daughter of Shangshufu. Shangshufu is the grandparents' home of the princess."

"So are they currently doing anything against our store?"

"Not really. It just took away some customers."

"Competition among businesses will always exist. As long as our beauty products are of high quality and our services are in place, we don't need to care about anything else. Time is the touchstone of the product, so let the customers compare and choose. You have to believe that our products have this strength!" Lin Xijin answered confidently.

Mrs. Wu listened to Lin Xijin's words, looked at her calm face, and her anxious mood calmed down. She felt deeply ashamed, thinking that she had grown older but not smarter, how could she not think as thoroughly as a little girl?

Little did she know that the person she was facing was not a little girl, but an old demon with profound Taoist skills.

Mrs. Wu felt relieved and said goodbye and left.

Lin Xijin packed up the gifts, went to the palace to pay respects to several big names of the time, and also visited the Anguogong Mansion, the General's Mansion, and the Imperial Tutor's Mansion. There was no other way, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and it was still necessary to make friends.

Inspections of each construction site are also necessary. Uncle Mu Xiong, Uncle Jian An, and Captain Sun are all veterans. They manage the site well and everything is in good order.

Since the road construction to Xishan Hunting Ground is almost completed, the construction of the cement road from Kyoto to Mengjin started after the new year.

With the memorial archway at the city gate leading the way, all the royal relatives and nobles in Kyoto, whether willing or not, donated carriages, personnel, materials and money, so the project progressed rapidly.

These are registered and managed by the soldiers under Captain Sun, and are also managed by officials from the Ministry of Works sent by Murong Xu, so Lin Xijin does not need to worry about it.
