Let me worry about my eldest brother's marriage.

Industry specializing in surgery.

When it comes to things like keeping a matchmaker and having sex, ten Cao Xins can't compare to one aunt.

But just now Cao Zhang accidentally mentioned her father ‘Cao Kun’, which reminded Cao Xin of two other relatives in this world——

…

"The second brother and the younger sister were lost in Qingyuan, Tanxi in the third year of Tianfu. We searched for several months but could not find them. We couldn't survive in Qingyuan, so we had to continue south, into Shangjiang Province, and finally came here

To Xijing City."

"This trip, the sky is huge, the land is huge, and the sea of ​​people is huge. It will be difficult to find them."

"We didn't have that ability two years ago, but we can try it now."

That night, Cao Xin took Cao Ren and mentioned his second brother Cao Yi and his younger sister Cao Shu.

At that time, Caojia Village collectively fled away from famine. After years of disasters and wars, the people dispersed before leaving Ningxi Province.

Cao Xin's family formed a group and originally wanted to go south, directly into Shangjiang River. However, they were confused and turned eastward, entering Tanxi Province.

When they arrived at Qingyuan Mansion in Tanxi, Cao Yi, the second eldest child, had a low fever and no strength. The family asked him to take his younger sister Cao Shu, who was only one year old at the time, to rest outside the city while the family went into the city to look for them.

Live and beg.

But unexpectedly, many officials suddenly appeared inside and outside the city to drive away refugees and disaster victims.

There was chaos.

The officials are rude and do not listen to what others say.

It was said that they were driven away, but in reality it was just like escorting them. They were sent all the way to a dilapidated village more than 20 miles away from the capital city, and they were ordered to cultivate and live here and were not allowed to escape.

By the time Cao Kun and others escaped, it was already three days later.

When I looked for them again, I found that Cao Yi and Cao Shu had long since disappeared.

Because they are refugees and runaways, they are not allowed to move around, so they can only hide and look for people.

More than three months.

Nothing was found.

No one can be seen in life, no corpse in death.

Two children were lost just like that.

At that time, Cao Yi was fourteen years old and Cao Shugang was eleven months old and not yet one year old.

A half-year-old child is still sick, and he has a baby with him.

Cao Kun and the others didn't say it clearly, but after a few months, they all knew in their hearts that the two of them were probably in danger.

In addition, I really couldn't survive in Qingyuan Prefecture at that time, so I couldn't delay any longer, so I continued south to Shangjiang.

It's considered giving up.

"But my second brother has always been alert, so he may not be able to survive."

"There is a glimmer of hope for now, we always have to try to find it."

Cao Xin had been thinking about this for a long time. Now that everything was stable and his family had enough money, he could finally move forward with his plan to find his relative.

…

"Second brother, little sister."

When Cao Ren heard this, he looked stunned.

Of course, he also hoped that Cao Yi and Cao Shu would not die. In the dead of night, he would occasionally think of it. However, he never said it out loud because he knew it was unrealistic.

Let’s not talk about whether the two of them are alive or not.

Even if you are still alive——

"There is an entire Shangjiang Province between Xijing City and Qingyuan Prefecture. It took us one and a half years and thousands of miles to reach Xijing City from Qingyuan Prefecture via Shangjiang Province."

"It's so far away, how can I find it?"

"Besides, Qingyuan Mansion is not small. It is already difficult to find two people. Let alone three years later, I am not sure whether they are still in Qingyuan Mansion."

long distance.

The scope is large.

A long time.

The world is in chaos.

These are all difficult points.

"Of course it's difficult."

“But you can’t stop doing it just because you’re afraid of the difficulty.”

Cao Xin had made up his mind and would not give up if he did not try to find him.

And he not only has a will, but also a general plan.

"Brother, that's what I think."

"Business is now difficult to do in Xijing City. Smaller martial arts schools have closed down one after another, and many gym owners and martial arts masters have been liberated. There are roughly four sources for these people now - some of them are old and have weak energy and blood, and they have turned to small businesses.

, or to enjoy their old age, some were absorbed by the Xijing Department of the Department of Embroidery and Yamen at all levels in Xijing City, some went to find jobs as guards in houses, nursing homes, restaurants and banks, and some became bodyguards or entered the army.

Gangs, and some even work as coolies on the docks."

Today, Tang Miao mentioned the trend of closures of martial arts schools in Xijing City. Cao Xin has also been paying attention to it recently. An idea has already sprouted: "Since there are so many practitioners in the market and they all have some skills, we can set up a bodyguard agency to combine these

We can recruit people and open up the trade route from Xijing City to Tanxi Province. In this way, we can take root in Xijing, earn money by escorting, and find our second brother and sister, all at the same time, killing three birds with one stone."

In fact, this plan was not hatched hastily.

As early as August of the year before last, after Cao Xin discovered the magical power of 'insight', the prototype had already taken shape. At first, he thought of discovering poor geniuses and sending them to major martial arts schools to practice martial arts and cultivate their wings. Later, he thought that when the eldest brother starts to

If they are successful in martial arts, they can open a 'Cao's Martial Arts School' and train direct disciples.

Later, I met Duan Chong. Duan Chong's strength had improved greatly recently. Since he didn't want to join the Embroidery Department, the Escort Bureau could always give it a try.

If he can be found in charge, the top master who is most difficult to find for the escort agency will be found. The planned martial arts hall will be converted into an escort agency, which is a logical thing.

certainly.

The premise of everything is still money.

"You will definitely have to invest a lot of money in the early stage, and you may continue to lose money."

"But with our current family background, it won't be a problem to support us for one or two years. During this period, there is no rush to recruit escorts. We have martial arts masters. We can first recruit a group of reliable disciples and train them. After one or two years, we can initially

Come in handy."

"At that time, you and my eldest sister were both good at martial arts, and we were the backbone of the escort agency."

"If you trick Uncle Duan into coming in again, you will have a master in charge."

"I had great medical skills at that time, and with the support of Uncle Duan and the escort agency, I had a certain ability to protect myself. I could also spread my reputation and use it as a card to make friends with high-ranking officials."

in this way--

With manpower, force, and connections, the escort agency business has great potential!

…

"this--"

"How much money does your family have now?"

Cao Ren was also moved.

He was originally not interested in the escort agency, but if he could hope to find Cao Yi and Cao Shu through the escort agency, then he would be very motivated.

However, it is necessary to calculate exactly how much money the family has, how much money is needed to open and maintain the escort agency.

This is a big deal.

Thousands of thoughts.

Once you make a decision and start moving, it's not easy to stop.

If you stop, you will lose money!

No room for carelessness.

"From August of the second year of Qianyou to August of last year, because it was just the two of us, the total surplus was less than a thousand taels. Excluding daily expenses and the purchase of three small courtyards, there is not much left."

Three small courtyards——

A place to live in your own home.

One area is connected to the warehouse, where Cao Xin ships goods and Lu, Xie, Zou and others get their goods.

Fresh fish, eggs, live chickens, wild animals.
