At this moment, Bai Zhe was sitting in the carriage and put his hand on the window. There was cold wind and winter snow outside. Mondstadt is not like Liyue Port, where it feels like spring all year round, but the temperature can occasionally drop for a few days.
The snow on the road was cleared by the Knights of the West Wind. There were more carriages traveling between Jingfu Port and Mondstadt than before. With the opening of Jingfu Port, for major chambers of commerce, In addition to the Shimen road, there is an additional navigation route for merchants. Of course, a merchant's association without a certain family background would obviously not choose it.
Since the former Jingfu Port was ruled by the Lawrence family, before negotiating peace with the West Wind Knights, the chambers of commerce that were able to do business in Jingfu Port basically had to pay additional gifts to the Lawrence family. Of course, the former head of the Lawrence family was not a fool. He believed that he would not make things difficult for small chambers of commerce. Those who facilitated the business were basically large chambers of commerce, so the meeting gift was naturally aimed at them.
Bai Zhe stared at the scenery outside, while Mebius lay on his lap very skillfully, covered with a fine wool blanket, and buried his face in Bai Zhe's belly without any baggage. After all, Mebius is very afraid of the cold, and Bai Zhe specially prepared this blanket for her.
There is already a long distance between Jingfu Port and Mondstadt, and with the snow on the road in winter, it will take more time than in the other three seasons.
Bai Zhe stroked Mebius's long green hair, stared at the scenery outside and murmured to himself: "I didn't expect that the shipyard's business was much better than I thought. Sure enough, it was Einstein and the others who developed a new product."
The Starfall Shipyard built by World Snake is currently under the jurisdiction of Rosevia, but the scientific research work is all handled by Einstein and Tesla.
Even the Lawrence family's finances this quarter have increased several times compared to previous years. The Lawrence people naturally know who gave them all this.
The Lawrence family crest flag fluttered in the wind, and several Zephyr knights shoveling snow on the road couldn't help but look at them with disdain when they saw the flag on the carriage.
This is inevitable. After all, the Lawrence family's notoriety still exists. When these people were children, adults began to put the Lawrence family on the opposite side, such as fabricating stories to scare children, such as those who like to eat children. Ugly aristocrat.
Moreover, it is not so easy for the people of Mondstadt to let go of this matter, and there are still people who are obstructing it. In addition, the people of the Lawrence family do reveal their arrogance and superiority from the bottom of their hearts.
The journey went smoothly, and the Zephyr Knights who patrolled and shoveled the snow did not question anything. After all, the current policy of the Knights of the West Wind is to incorporate the Lawrence family. Naturally, they have ordered their subordinates to try not to conflict with the Lawrence family when they meet them. Of course, they will not sit still or tolerate it if the other party provokes them.
The tools for shoveling snow were left on the side of the road, and a few Zephyr Knights stood on the side of the road rubbing their hands and sighing. After all, whoever had such a job would probably complain.
One of the West Wind knights was staring at the carriage and sighing in his hands. He accidentally caught a glimpse of Bai Zhe, who was leaning against the window with an indifferent expression. The familiar face brought back his memories, but he couldn't think of it for a while. …."Hey, he looked familiar in the car just now. Have I seen him somewhere? But I can't remember it."
After hearing these words, his companion glanced in the direction of the carriage. The emblem and flag of the Lawrence family were very conspicuous on it, which made him frown and say in confusion.
"That's the Lawrence family's carriage. How could you possibly know those disgusting guys? Even a noble nobleman like them wouldn't bother to know us. Okay, okay, get some rest, hurry up and get to work Stay alive, Captain Kaia will pop up from nowhere to check our work."
Another West Wind Knight just nodded, rubbed his frozen palms and breathed out, "You're right, it should just be a look."
…
When the carriage arrived at the fork in the road, the driver also asked: "Sir, should we go to Xingluo Village, or go directly to Mondstadt City?"
"Just go directly to Mondstadt. Your work will be over when you get to Mondstadt."
"I see."
The coachman pulled the reins without asking any more questions and let the horse run in the direction of Mondstadt.
But in the car, Alicia asked excitedly: "Where is Xingluo Village? Isn't your destination Mondstadt City?"
"Too close."
Cold words floated out of Mebius's mouth, and then Mebius turned over and stared at Alicia.
Seeing this, Alicia stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and said with a smile: "Ah~ My dear Mebius, are you jealous? Don't worry, I don't have the slightest idea about Bai Zhe."
Mebius just hummed and said nothing more.
Bai Zhe lowered his head and stared at the profile of Mebius on his lap, stretched out his thumb and slid it across her fair neck, and then slowly explained: "Mondstadt City is naturally the largest and most prosperous city in Mondstadt. In the city-state, Xingluo Village was originally just a small village, but it is already my territory. World Snake’s R&D and factories are located there. It is only a matter of time before Xingluo Village surpasses Mondstadt City. A large number of young people have chosen to live in this city. We are looking for jobs there.”33
Hearing this, Alicia nodded thoughtfully, and she understood a little about Bai Zhe's property in Mondstadt. Such a large and powerful Lawrence family obeys his advice, which shows that Bai Zhe's influence in Mondstadt is completely different from that in Liyue Port, where Bai Zhe is like a fish in water.
"I see, the world snake nest you built is here... Your property in Liyue Port is already very exaggerated. I didn't expect it to be even more so in Mondstadt. But you seem to be a little overwhelmed, so continue Aren’t you going to develop Dao Wife’s business next time? Who will you leave Liyue Port to when the time comes?”
Bai Zhe raised his head slightly and stared at Alicia, then slowly said without changing his expression: "Keqing."
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
Mebius and Alicia made doubtful sounds together. Unexpectedly, the answer to the question was Keqing. This seems a bit impossible, right?
Alicia blinked her eyes, swallowed her saliva, and asked: "... Keqing, you are talking about Keqing, the Yuheng star among the seven stars in Liyue, right?"
Feeling the cold gaze of Mebius, Bai Zhe lowered his head and kissed him gently on the forehead, and then transformed into the riddle Humanity.
"Who knows? Guess."
Suddenly, the jolting of the carriage stopped abruptly, and the coachman's voice came from outside.
"Sir, Mondstadt has arrived."
