Liu Hu had been in the mountains for quite some time, barely leaving except for a drink at Liu Yu's place on Mid-Autumn Festival. Liu Hu's former comrades had all been his acquaintances, especially Scarface, who was incredibly loyal. Now Liu Yu wanted to send him more people, but they were all hooligans. Liu Hu didn't trust them, so he didn't want them either. He simply thought that if he ever did business again, he would definitely bring people from his hometown in Beidu.

He swung the big stone around a few times, and heard a noise in the forest, so he threw the big stone over.

Then, a beautiful pink figure flashed out of the forest, stabbing at him with a sword raised! He immediately dodged sideways, and just as he was about to punch, he restrained his strength and used his palm to push the person away. Who would have thought that the person would spin around and kick his palm away, using the momentum to stabilize his body and stand in front of her!

"Second brother! You really want to beat me to death!" Liu Yue pouted, stood with the sword in her arms, and looked at her second brother!

"How could I bear to beat you to death? I recognized you as soon as you showed up. I couldn't see you pouting even though you had your face covered. Take it off!" Liu Hu reached out and pulled off the veil on his sister's face. Sure enough, Liu Yue was pouting.

"You've loved pouting since you were a child. You're so big that you can even hang a soy sauce bottle on your lips. Who would want you?" Liu Hu patted her head lovingly, and Liu Yue quickly dodged!

"Don't hit me, you're trying to make me look like a fool with that kind of force!"

"Why did you come here instead of staying in Beidu? You could have come a few days earlier to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival!" Liu Hu balled up the gauze in his hand and handed it out.

Liu Yue took it, shook out the gauze, folded it, and put it neatly in her arms.

"I don't want to tell you! Big brother doesn't like me, and I'll just be annoying if I come! I just came to see second brother!" Liu Yue smiled and took Liu Hu's arm, shaking her body coquettishly, "I missed you!"

"Didn't something happen on the mountain in Beidu?" Liu Hu looked at her expression, but still felt uneasy and wanted to ask.

"No! We only help people transport goods and look after the sites now. We don't do robbing or robbery, so everything is safe." Liu Yue took Liu Hu's hand and looked at him pleadingly. "Second brother, please don't do those things. Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, the people have money. We can make money by doing any legitimate business. I am worried about you!"

Liu Hu looked at Liu Yue's hand covering his own, and felt warm and comfortable in his heart. "I didn't do anything. I was just being honest!"

"Stop it! You are just lying! You went just because the big brother scared you! He was a good officer, but he let you do all the bad things. He has been like this since you were a child! If he hadn't fooled you, you could have been an officer too!" Liu Yue shook off Liu Hu's hand and sat on a stool beside her unwillingly.

Liu Yu, Liu Hu, and Liu Yue are siblings, all born in Beidu. Their parents were bandits in the mountains of Beidu and raised many brothers. However, their father passed away suddenly, and the number of brothers gradually decreased. Now, there are even fewer. Liu's mother takes the brothers in by doing business like escorting and watching over warehouses, which is enough to support them.

"Don't talk about brother like that! He is your real brother after all! You haven't told me why you came here!" Liu Hu changed the subject and poured a glass of water for Liu Yue, "You came here alone? Without some brothers with you? How dangerous it is!" Although Liu Yu and Liu Hu look ordinary, Liu Yue has a pretty face and looks like a beautiful girl from a small family, so Liu Hu has especially liked this fair and tender sister since he was a child.

"Oh! When did you become so nagging!" Liu Yue was dissatisfied, but still took the cup from his hand! "Second brother, I heard that South City is getting more and more lively. It's more fun than when I came here a few years ago. I plan to go there for a few days before going back!"

"Okay! Then I'll go with you. I'll take you to try all the delicious food in this city!"

"Okay! Let's go now. It's a good opportunity to show me the way!" Liu Yue took the sword and was about to leave! Seeing her anxious look, Liu Hu rubbed her head lovingly. This time, Liu Yue did not hide. She naturally knew that her second brother would not bear to hurt her!

Xiao Lan used Su Ze to advertise her fabric shop in public, and now she still dared not rest. After all, the onlookers were only part of the story, and the in-depth publicity in various places still needed the help of the Xiao family.

The first door she knocked on was that of her great-grandfather Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu's house was small, but very elegantly decorated. He had many friends who were scholars and writers. It was he who first praised Sun Shaohua's talent!

The great-grandmother died early, and Xiao Yu never remarried or took a concubine. His three daughters all lived elsewhere and did not live with him, so the house seemed deserted.

Xiao Yu was genuinely happy to see Xiao Lan coming to visit. Although the old man liked quietness, occasional liveliness would also warm his heart.

"Miss Lan, you came to see me so politely, you must have something to ask for!" Xiao Yu went straight to the point, but his tone was full of doting for the younger generation.

"Grandfather is really a prophet. I came here this time to ask for a favor!" Xiao Lan stood in front of Xiao Yu politely. Xiao Yu liked her well-behaved and sensible appearance very much.

He had always felt that Xiao Lan was timid and timid in everything she did, with a gloomy face every day, and he had no good impression of her. But now he felt that she had become cheerful and sensible, and was worthy of being the mistress.

"Well, if Grandfather can help, he will definitely help!"

"Great Grandfather, what do you think of this dress?" Xiao Lan raised her hand, and Mother Xu quickly opened a long gown she had chosen. The dress was made of brown silk with a light brown lotus pattern on it, which was faintly visible in the light.

"Wow, the material is nice! The style of the clothes is also nice. It seems that we don't have it often here. I remember a friend from Beijing came to wear it once! He told me at that time that this was... It was custom-made by some ready-made clothing store in Beijing, but it's not easy to order!" Xiao Yu thought the clothes were really good and walked closer to take a closer look.

"Yes! You have a keen eye and can see it at a glance! Isn't this the style of the capital? But we can't copy others. I have made some changes, so it must be different!" Xiao Lan stumbled upon it by accident, so he made up a story and didn't say it out loud.

"Not bad, not bad! A gift for my great grandfather?" Xiao Yu smiled and leaned over to look at the cuffs of the clothes. They were made of silk materials of a different color, which was indescribably elegant!

"Of course! When Fourth Grandfather wears this dress, he's more elegant in poetry than anyone else among your group of literary friends!"

"Really? Then let me try?"

"Try it, you must try it. If it doesn't suit you, I can modify it for you!"

After a while, when Xiao Yu came out again, he looked much more energetic than the gray one he wore just now!

"How is it?" Xiao Yu opened his arms and slowly turned around with the help of the maid.

"It looks good, it looks good, Great Grandfather looks so smart in this!" Xiao Lan clapped her hands and bent over to say flatteringly. Mother Xu felt embarrassed but could only nod in agreement.

"What do you mean, Lan girl? Just tell me straight away, why did you send me clothes?" Xiao Yu is just old, but he is not stupid. He will not lose his mind after being flattered by others.

"I just want to ask Grandfather to wear this dress when he goes out to meet friends and have tea, to praise the dress intentionally or unintentionally, and then tell them where they can order it! I have to say that you ordered it personally and it didn't come to your door!" Xiao Lan spoke weakly, begging in a very begging manner!

"Do you have to go in person? My friends are either rich or noble. They either invite people to come to their house or have someone special to make the order. How can they ask people to make the order in person?" Xiao Yu felt that Xiao Lan's request was a bit too high.

"Grandfather, you must go to the store for the first time. After that, as long as you note down the customer's preferences, requirements and sizes, you don't need to come again. But you must go in person for the first time!" Xiao Lan said firmly.

"I can't guarantee that. Are you sure you want to say that? Don't drive away the business!"

"No! Lan'er thanks my great grandfather here!" Xiao Lan bowed.

"Okay, okay, but who else did you ask for this?"

"And my two cousins from my aunt's family!" Xiao Lan didn't hide it either.

"Both of them?" Xiao Yu scoffed, "You've found the right person!"

One of them hangs out in brothels all year round, the other hangs out in restaurants all year round, they both sit in private rooms and make friends with wealthy people!
