After a short farce ended, Chen Xu walked side by side with the son-in-law, Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan is a successful businessman with a fat head and big ears, mainly engaged in the silk business. After Chen Xu helped him win a game, he immediately became enthusiastic about Chen Xu. The words revealed that he wanted to hire Chen Xu as the chief leader of the caravan.

Of course, Chen Xu was unwilling to accept this offer - but he did not refuse to settle down first.

So as soon as the courtyard of the Zhou Mansion entered the courtyard, it was temporarily allocated to Chen Xu to live.

After putting the silver ingots under the bed, Chen Xu wiped his face with a wet towel and started at will.

Soon, he saw the maids gossiping.

This is a courtyard dam, and when the maids in the house are female celebrities, most of them like to gather here, doing needlework, and chatting with the parents for a short time. In this atmosphere of east and west, Chen Xu sat quietly.

He's combing through the message.

Through the noisy and noisy homely nagging, his conjecture was confirmed.

The maids showed great interest in Chen Xu's arrival. and quickly observed that Chen Xu is a person who doesn't like to talk, and only likes to listen quietly.

So they croaked and watched while watching!

Soon, I caught that Chen Xu likes to listen to 'big events' and doesn't like to listen to gossip.

This one is easy.

They welcomed the young man, who was highly valued by the owner, to join their circle.

As a result, after Chen Xu audited here for two days, he became the most popular man in the house. Like at this moment!

He stretched out his index finger and tapped lightly on the stool.

This meant that he had a question, and the women immediately shut up and looked up, wondering what the problem was.

Chen Xu looked at an aunt and asked, "What you said about the Xiangyang War just now, can you tell me more about it?"

"Okay. ”

The aunt quickly spoke, and said that Xiangyang had been fighting for several years, but the Tatar soldiers still couldn't help the matter of Xiangyang, and picked up what she knew and said it. The words are very optimistic.

Chen Xu listened silently, making his own judgment.

It's a pity that Chen Xu's knowledge of history is too bad. No, it should be said that the knowledge of the Song Dynasty is almost in the occasional revelation of the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon. As for the official historical sources, he completely rolled his eyes.

However, this did not prevent Chen Xu from judging that this was almost a period when the Southern Song Dynasty was about to be completely finished.

Chen Xu groaned, thinking about whether he should go to Xiangyang to take a look, maybe he could meet Guo Daxia, that was also an uncertain thing.

Chen Xu was thinking about it, and suddenly stopped. He looked away from the aunt across from him and asked a young girl sitting next to him, "Is there something wrong?"

"Ah, there is no ......"

The girl blushed and lowered her head.

"Just think you'...... The more you look at it, the younger you become. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. ”

Chen Xu smiled slightly, and the girl's face turned even redder.

Chen Xu felt understandable, and then his gaze fell on the eyes of the aunt on the other side again, and asked, "I remember, the Xiangyang guard is called Lu or something, right?"

"Oh, you mean General Lu. The aunt hesitated, "It's the surname Lu, but I don't know what it's called." ”

Chen Xu nodded and smiled: "It's not easy to be sure that it's Lu." ”

"Okay. I'll inquire when I'm free. ”

"Well, excuse me. ”

Chen Xu smiled at his aunt.

The girl who had been listening to the conversation between the two blushed even more, and as soon as Chen Xu left, she immediately started talking with those female companions.

"Wow, standing next to Uncle Chen, I feel so nervous. ”

"That's it!"

"He must be on the battlefield, a fierce general who can kill through the enemy's formation, right?"

"Of course, I heard that two days ago, he put down all the Qi mansions of our Zhou Mansion with his bare hands. ”

"Yes, Uncle Chen is really powerful. ”

Everyone around the discussion couldn't stop nodding.

"If there is no maid in his house to call me, I will definitely go over obediently. A girl blushed and said.

"Well, definitely, I will definitely go!" the other nodded in agreement.

The women in the mansion had a heated discussion, and they all liked Chen Xu very much. Suddenly said that he was alone, and there must still be a lack of a warm bed, I don't know if he would talk to the main person of the village?

Chen Xu, who walked out of the big house, his chest rose and fell slightly.

It was dusk, and the sky was a dark red. At this time, on the banks of the Qinhuai River, it should be a time to be full of friends. I don't know if anyone else is fighting jealously.

Chen Xu smiled slightly and moved his steps.

"So, let's go for a walk today. ”

He strolled towards the famous fireworks land, and soon after, there were bursts of singing and dancing, guessing the boxing order, and full of drunken gold fans, appearing in Chen Xu's eyes.

Chen Xu continued to advance here, gradually moving away from the most prosperous area.

After walking along the river bank for a long time, he stopped and began to walk back—unfortunately, he didn't meet anyone who was jealous today.

As he was walking back and forth, suddenly, the back door of a tall building opened, and a playful man came out. There was a thud and a sizable cloth bag was thrown on the side of the road. Then Chen Xu came out of the bag and heard someone snorting.

What's going on?

Chen Xu narrowed his eyes, stopped, and looked over in silence.

The man also saw Chen Xu, but he didn't care, he turned around and went back, probably to get something, and there was no next move.

Chen Xu frowned and looked at the mouth of the bag.

The mouth of the big bag was loose and not tied at all, and soon, a woman, naked woman, crawled out of the bag. The body is full of scars from the old and the new.

Chen Xu approached.

He saw that this woman should not be very old. Even on the small side.

However, after a long period of abuse, her whole body has become numb, and her eyes are cloudy. Looking at the ...... Starry sky.

Probably only fifteen or sixteen years old, the person who beat her to such an extent should be damned!

Chen Xu thought.

Chen Xu raised his head and looked at the open backyard door.

"Hey, you kid, what are you doing standing here?"

The man from before walked out and questioned Chen Xu viciously.

Chen Xu squinted and saw a man with a vicious appearance all over his body, his eyes were full of obvious hostility at the moment, glaring at him.

"Hey, hey, you guy. What are you doing here? Get out of here!"

The man deliberately raised his fist slowly, making a clicking sound.

Seeing that Chen Xu was silent and unmoved, the man took a step. Impatient: "Hey, you want to die, don't you?"

"...... you" Chen Xu's eyes widened, and the bones of his body clicked violently, like a fierce beast waking up, making the man take a step back in fright.

"You...... What are you going to do?" The man was shocked by Chen Xu's muscles, his breathing became heavy, and he took a step back, and then took a step back.

Chen Xu frowned. Then he strode out, narrowed the distance between him and the man, reached out, grabbed the man's placket, and then hung the other man in the air with one hand.

At this moment, the green man's eyes bulged, probably in disbelief.

After all, it is a bit unrealistic to lift a strong man up as soon as he stretches out his hand.

It's too strong, isn't it?

The man twisted his body, wanting to reach out to grab Chen Xu's arm, but stopped suddenly, and fear rose in his eyes.

"You, what are you going to do?" he asked in alarm.
