In the canal-side shack area, Chen Xin stood in Dai Zhenggang's former shack again, and more than 20 people stood in front of him. These people are Dai Zhenggang villagers in Yanggu. They have been here for more than ten days, waiting for Chen Xin to come back. "Lord Qian Hu, there are twenty-one bachelors from Yanggu. Only two of them have families. The others are all single. Bachelors from several nearby villages came. ”

Chen Xin saw the tenant Huang Yuan and many previous trackers. Chen Xin nodded and smiled at them. Huang Yuan and the others were at a loss. They don't know if they should kneel or not. Now, Brother Chen can't make phone calls. I heard that it was not Mr. Zhang Fang. Now it's thousands of households.

Chen Xin asked Huang Yuan, "Didn't Huang Yuan give birth to a child?"

Huang Yuan said a little frustratedly: "The child didn't take his life, and died with his mother's illness." ”

Chen Xin stopped talking. He patted Huang Yuan on the shoulder. The mortality rate in this era is too high. A lot of people die in the winter. They will freeze to death, starve to death, die of disease. The value of human life is rapidly declining.

"Chen Xin, if you come this far and are willing to follow me, I won't treat you badly in the future, but the good and bad will come first. Where you go with me, you may have to fight bandits, Japanese pirates, and even Tatars. If you are injured, I will give you thirty-two dollars a month. If you're scheduled to do something else, you'll still have food every month. If you die, I'll give you thirty-two dollars. If you are at home, you will have children, and I will raise you until you are 16 years old and let him study. If anyone is afraid of death, come out now. I will give you two taels of silver for your traveling. Now you can go back to Yang Valley. ”

All the people looked at each other, and no one came out. Tuba looked at Chen Xin.

Chen Xin said with satisfaction: "Well, if you can so far, I won't choose them." If you can be a soldier, you can be a soldier. If you can't, you can be a soldier. ”

Dai Zheng happily agreed. He feared that someone would not be chosen. In fact, Dai Zheng just saw that his fellow villagers were worse than 50 handpicked trackers. Chen Xin won his face.

Dai Zhenggang hurriedly reminded the shocked villagers that he had been with Song Wenxian for a while and had learned a lot of etiquette on the way to Beijing.

A group of people quickly knelt down, "Thank you, Lord Qian Hu!"

After Chen Xin asked them to get up, he said to Dai Zhenggang: "Let's start in two days at most." During these two days, you have to make the personnel roster, buy two large wooden barrels, bathe them, clean their bodies of lice and fleas. I need to check it out before I get on the boat. If they don't clean up, I'll walk to Weihai on my own. Don't bring those futons or anything like that. I ordered a new one, yes. ”

Dai Zhenggang nodded and said, "I know how to do it, just like the boat puller in Zhangjiawan." But if you can't buy new clothes for a while, you won't catch all the lice. ”

"I'm going to urge Liu Min to ask for clothes. It's been two days since he opened the clothing store. Dozens of clothes have not yet been washed. Chen Xin said dissatisfiedly: "Then I'll give them to other clothing stores." ”。

After the arrangement, Chen Xin returned to the city. Dai Zheng just took a few people to find a wooden shop outside the city and bought a large barrel. Chen Xin and Haigouzi went straight to the city. When I arrived in Tianjin, Haigouzi no longer carried a tracker. After all, he was too young to compare with those people in strength and stature. Chen Xin feared that they would not be able to obey the public. For the time being, he will let Zhu Guobin and Lu Chuanzong take them. Zhang can talk. He will help him buy things in town and deliver messages. Haigouzi will become Chen Xin's bodyguard

Haigouzi followed Chen Xin and asked him, "Brother, shall we go to Weihai together?"

"Do you want to go?" Of course, if I don't follow you, I don't know what to do all day. I don't want to make clothes every day. I'd better play with you

Chen Xin smiled and said, "We will kill people in the future." It doesn't get any better than that. When we bring out our real skills, we can lose our lives. If you want to have a better life, I will leave you in Tianjin. The shops here also need manpower. ”

"No, I'm still following you. You saved my life. If I fall, I'll fall. ”

"Ahh Chen Xin sighed and walked up with his shoulders on his arms.

"Is Brother Liu going to Weihai?"

"I'll have to ask him if he wants to go. ”

Haigouzi suddenly became interested: "Big brother, I heard from nearby that Brother Liu and Pan Jinlian don't know. Shen Lou scolded at the door every day. In this way, Brother Liu did not quit Shen's wife. Do you think Brother Liu really likes that broomstar?"

"What are you talking about, are you sweeping the stars? Shen Lou stole things by himself. What's wrong with the others? Who do you like to watch? You name it. If you marry Pan Jinlian, she won't give you shoes. ”

"Then I won't say anything," the fur dog said, clevering his head and giggling

Liu Min returned to the yard after work. Xiao Jiahua didn't call him a housekeeper this time, because Chen Xin told her that she would go to Dengzhou soon, so she didn't take the yard seriously and gave up the reconstruction plan. Now these two stores have no stores. One is the living room and the other is the bedroom. Chen Xin arranged for the small family to live in the bazaar, although Xiao Jiahua was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey his grandfather's wishes. She guessed that Liu Min didn't want to see her, and she didn't want to give him a good look. When she saw him come in, she snorted and went home.

Liu Min was very angry for two days. He walked into Chen Xin's room and saw him packing his things. He asked him, "Are you going to Weihai so soon?"

"I'll leave tomorrow. At present, the Wei River is not frozen. I've got to catch up this time. Otherwise, I'll have to go overland. Brother, follow me. ”

Liu Min was still hesitating. Ever since Chen Xin got the position of a hundred schools of thought, he has been thinking about whether to go. He was a man who lived in peace. He was the last to leave the familiar surroundings. Now he has been in Tianjin for a few months. He gets along well with his neighbors and his business is on track. He really had to give up.

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet. ”

Chen Xin suggested: "In winter, the canal is blocked. Your clothing business is average. It's better to go to Weihai with me. I just went there to confirm that there was a lot of stuff. I can't come alone. ”

Liu Min has heard a way: "You have so many people going, why can't you be busy." ”

"They're all newcomers. They have a lot of experienced professionals like you. They don't have any management experience. They go to be a nosy person. ”

In fact, there are still many talents, so Shen Lishi and Liu Min suddenly stopped, lest Chen Xin catch it.

Sure enough, "Oh, by the way, what's wrong with Shen Lishi and you? ”

Liu Min has a good saying: "You think it's all like you kidnapping and selling people." She is very good at management. She learns quickly and is also clear about the organization. She can also give a good opinion on the choice of clothing. ”

Chen Xin shrugged: "She has the ability to be your secretary." Don't think about management. You think that Lao Cai and Lu will listen to her, just because she is a woman, they will ignore him. ”

Liu Min knows that this is also true. He really wanted Shen Li to be in charge. Lao Cai and the others definitely joined forces to wear her shoes. In the end, they have to change people.

Chen Xin continued to persuade: "You can use this woman as a worker." I think you're kind of fond of her now. It has nothing to do with her. After all, she is a married woman. We don't have time to pay attention to that Shen Lou. Don't mention her. Come with me to Weihai and help me stand firm. ”

Liu Min hesitated for a moment and said, "What about the clothing store?" "Let Lao Cai take care of it." The people are the same. These are the people who lead their families. I'm not going to take them away. This clothing store will be placed here as an office. ”

"I'm not sure if Lao Cai is caring about me. He's a bit insatiable. You don't dare to contradict him. It's better to rest assured. ”

Chen Xindao: "Zhou Laifu is Zhou Laifu." How much money does this clothing store make? In addition, we also have Tianjin receiving goods from overseas trade. It will start next spring. If you want Pan Jinlian, you can go back to Tianjin and buy me something. ”

Liu Minyou said: "Director Chen really treats me as a fast brick. Where to move. You know I don't like to change places. I'm always annoyed. ”

Chen Xin smiled and said, "How dare I? When did my director refute Boss Liu? But only Boss Liu has the strongest ability." There are a lot of talents. ”

Liu Min wasn't sure if Chen Xin went to Weihai alone. After all, this is a completely foreign place. Either way, he should help friends who depend on each other. "Okay, I'll go with you first. There is not much to do. "Just bring some clothes. Liu Min thought about one more thing, and by the way, Zhou Shifa, the former deputy general of Qian, went to the fifth military camp. I've heard that you've become a family and want to follow you. ”

"Zhou Shifa?" Chen Xin thought of the servant of the money. "But his mother is in Tianjin. In addition, Qian Zhongxuan had more hope of going camping in Beijing. Why come with me?"

"His mother passed away last month, and he didn't want to follow Deputy Director Qian. I'm sure he appreciates your character and asks me to help him. ”

Chen Xin smiled and said, "If you try to sarcastically mock me again, you can accept that a housekeeper always has two brushes." ”

Chen Xin persuaded Liu Minyou. He was delighted. Liu Minyou is serious and has rich management experience. Although he is a bit wordy, he is still self-reliant. He's the only person I can trust.

"Boss Liu, it's okay. Tomorrow you will be sorting things in the store. However, Zhou Laifu and their friends are outsiders. I suggest you give Lu You some benefits. This person is very upright, so he should be in the inner world. ”

"I'm not as happy as you are. Several people had to settle down. I will give Chow more salary. Lao Cai and Lu You were not familiar with him. Shen Lishi knows how to settle accounts. He didn't have time to practice. ”

Chen Xin said with admiration: "Brother Liu's arrangement is very controlled and admired. ”

Liu Min shook his head and said, "You don't have to come. I don't have the heart to study checks and balances. You can go. Don't you talk to Granny Zhao?"

"Of course, I have to say that I will go tomorrow morning, and I will go alone with Zhao Xiangdao. Either way, the marriage is over. Next year, I'm getting married. Chen Xin took a deep breath and said that he still liked Zhao Xiang. Although he was a little younger, there were too many unmarried people in this era. In his twenties, he had several children.

Liu Min nodded: "Miss Zhao looks polite. Be kind to others in the future. Don't let Xiao Jiahua bully her. ”

Chen Xin smiled. Miss Zhao is not easy to bully. Xiao Jiahua was not good enough, but she agreed. She took out a piece of paper from under her pillow and said to Liu Min, "This is my personnel arrangement." Boss Liu took a look at it and gave some suggestions. ”

Liu Min once glanced at it and wrote a bunch of names on paper with a brush.

Capital: Mr. Zhang

Tianjin procurement: Lao Cai

Guard: Fur Seal, choose two trackers

65 soldiers

There were five pieces of armor, twelve pieces of armor each, one for each armor leader, one for each fireman, two for each soldier of war, and one for each soldier. Zhan Bingdu Zheng: Zhu Guobin, standard-bearer, guard

Deputy ranks: Dai Zhenggang, Lu Chuanzong

40 sailors

Sailor: Jiang Jisheng (Scar)

Marine Team Assistant: Qin Lufang

Craftsmen and Armor Chiefs: The Direction of Development in the Tang Dynasty

Civil: Liu Minyou

Foreign Affairs: Song Wenxian

Liu Min was surprised and said, "You even formulated an organizational structure. You have to arrange Zhang's delegates-congress separately in the capital. Can he do it alone?"

"Well, this kid is cunning. This time in the capital, due to an important news, he will not go for the time being. Spring is coming, and he can adjust it. In life, let him buy a maid to cook and do laundry. ”

"I'm in charge of civil affairs. Do I have a maid?"

"No, at most I will find a middle-aged woman to clean and cook at home. ”

Liu Min touched his nose. The Beijing office is treated better than the local government. "What am I responsible for?"

"Except for the army. ”

For example. ”

"For example, building houses, farming, buying vegetables, buying materials, hospitality, giving birth to children, giving birth to the elderly, sickness and death, entertainment and leisure, women's work, ......"

Liu Min was sweating. After Liu Min decided to go to Weihai, he went to the clothing store the next morning as usual. Today, he will arrange a lot of things. All the way to Zhenhaimen Street, Lao Cai and Lu You came to hang the store first, and the door number has been taken down. Seeing Liu Min coming, both of them came to say hello. Liu Min felt that these two people were usually a bit redundant. Now he's leaving. On the contrary, he was happy to see them. He greeted them and sat down in the shop. After a while, Shen Lishi and Zhou Laifu also came. Today, Zhou Laifu is still at work the next day. He used to work in another house, but he only did the night shift here. He was worried that the store wouldn't last long, but now that Liu Min had clothes and the store's business was gradually stabilizing, he made up his mind to work here. Shen Lishi still sat quietly in the corner, her desk wide. She would tidy up her clothes and write.

Liu Min saw that everyone had arrived, so he said to everyone: "Today we are going to have a regular meeting, just like in the past." Miss Shen, please tell us about today's goods. ”

Shen Lishi took out an account book. She drew a two-dimensional table to record orders and shipments, but Lao Cai's face was gloomy again. Lao Cai is a little older. When he saw that two-dimensional figure, he had a headache. He can't always learn. Moreover, Shen Lishi can still settle accounts, which makes Lao Cai feel a little dangerous in the store.

Shen Lishi's gentle voice sounded softly: "First of all, the goods have been loaded. Yesterday, there were 6 finished products in the store, 1 dress, 4 windbreakers, 1 shawl, "I saw Zhou Laifu's wife, she always delivered to the door."

Zhou Laifu's wife didn't say anything. Liu Min had to say, "Please send it to Sister-in-law Zhou." ”

Zhou Laifu's wife had to deal with the matter. In any case, Liu Min did not arrange it. She generally ignored Shen Li, Shen Li was used to it. She continued to say in her own way: "That's clothing. Today, I'm going to finish three trench coats and a shawl. Yesterday, I prepared the materials. Today, I need to cut and sew. I'll do it as usual. ”

Shen Lishi did not directly say that Zhou Laifu should complete this matter, so as not to make people think that she was the person in charge. Zhou Laifu has a gentle attitude. He was zealous and didn't bully, so he agreed.

"The third is housework. Today you should prepare the materials for tomorrow's six clothes, and the materials to be replenished in the warehouse, such as cloth, cotton hearts, gold leaf, buttons, buttonholes, belts, hangers, color threads, needles, etc. We have to count the numbers, collect some money from Brother Cai in advance, and go to various stores to repair them. Liu Min was also bored when he saw Lao Cai and Lu You. He interjected, "Cai's accounting office and Lu You handle this matter", and Lao Cai and Lu You stood up and agreed, and in the end, it was the accountant. A hundred thick jackets that were outsourced the other day have not been paid for. Zhang Hui took the clothes away yesterday, but they haven't paid yet. That's it today. Shen Lishi ended his speech gently.

Liu Min admires Shen Lishi's talent very much. He wanted her to be the deputy manager, hold this regular meeting, and let Shen Lishi arrange things. He wanted to establish her prestige. Now it seems to be working poorly. If he doesn't speak, everyone won't buy her account. Liu Min can understand that it is difficult for people who are beaten at home every day to establish their prestige in the workplace. Even Shen Li has no self-confidence, never struggles for anything, but works hard every day.

After Liu Min saw Shen Lishi, he said, "Do these things well today." I'll arrange one more thing. Brother Zhou is going to make underwear today. Tomorrow, I want to see the effect. Please work harder today. ”

"Yes, there's not much to do today. Zhou Laifu politely stood up and replied.

Shen Lishi blushed in the corner. The panties are too small. After Liu Min finished sketching, Shen Lishi was embarrassed to look at it. Liu Min didn't ask her. If it was an ordinary coat, Liu Min would usually ask Shen Lishi to see if there was any improvement.

"One more thing. I'm going to Shandong tomorrow. I'm probably going to be away for a long time. ”

"Ahh She suddenly heard about it. She lost her temper and shouted loudly. A room full of people was surprised to see that before everyone could speak, she called.

Shen Lishi hurriedly looked back with a red face, not daring to ask again. Her working hours here are the most relaxing. Although the others squeezed her out a bit, the atmosphere at home was better than here. At least no one rushed over to fight, and Liu Min had been taking care of her. She could feel a sense of respect. She carefully researched the things in the clothing store, and every time Liu Min had some compliments with a sense of accomplishment that she had never felt before, she would get these things. She now looked forward to walking out of that door every day, looking forward to walking through this door, and every morning she saw a sense of intimacy in that door. But when she first heard that Liu Min had to leave, she suddenly felt that her heart was empty. She didn't know what it looked like.

Liu Min coughed dryly, and then said, "You all know about Chen Xin. I'm going with you, but this clothing store will remain open. ”

Everyone was relieved to hear that as long as the clothing store was still around, everyone would at least have something to eat.

Zhou Laifu asked, "How long are you going?" Liu Min noticed from the corner of his eye that Shen Li raised his head slightly.

"I should come back once in the spring. After Brother Zhou, don't call me the host, just follow the original name. ”

When they heard that Liu Min was coming back for the Spring Festival, they knew that Liu Min had to arrange business in the store and wait for him to speak quietly.

"The business of the store is run by Manager Zhou Laifu, and he also holds meetings every day as he does today. Others are still working according to the current division of labour. ”

Zhou Laifu stood up and refused, saying that he was just here and not suitable for managing affairs. Liu Min insisted, and Zhou Laifu accepted it excitedly. He has been a seamstress for many years, and he has never been a shopkeeper. Few people appreciate him. He was very grateful to Liu Min for understanding what he was doing.

Seeing that Zhou Laifu was the new shopkeeper, Lao Cai was very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to show it. He is not afraid of Liu Min's existence, but he is a little afraid of Chen Xin. He cautiously asked, "If you leave, what will happen to the money you collect every day?" Miss Zhao came to collect it every two days and kept the silverware for stocking. The rest will be handed over to Miss Zhao, "Liu Min and Chen Xin have discussed, Zhao Xiang is Lao Cai's old master. Moreover, Zhao Xiang handled the funeral very methodically, and should be able to suppress Lao Cai. Sure enough, Lao Cai heard that they still couldn't believe him, and even got lost.

Liu Min thought of Chen Xin's arrangement, and said to Lao Cai: "Lao Cai's side is not only a matter of the clothing store, but more importantly, Chen Xin's side arranges for you to do it." Then he will explain it to you personally. ”

A few people in the store turned to Lao Cai. They don't know what's more important. However, Lao Cai suddenly thought of overseas trade procurement and worked as a financial assistant. It seems that adults in thousands of households still value themselves very much. Compared to the thousands of adults in the family, a little salary in this clothing store is nothing. Suddenly, they feel that they are more than a level above others. They are proud of themselves below, petting a few mice, smirking a smug smile, the success of a villain.

Liu Min ignored him, arranged several important winter styles one after another, and asked everyone to pay attention to some. Finally, speaking of Shen Li's family, Liu Min said softly: "Brother Zhou, the new style you made should be shown to Shen Li's wife." Her opinions are generally insightful. Mrs. Shen, you need to help Zhou Laifu a lot. He had just arrived, and a lot of things were still unclear. ”

Shen Lishi also agreed. She still didn't look up. She had blushed so much just now. She hasn't come back yet.

"We should be sincere and cooperative. This store is not only opened by me and Chen Xin, but also by everyone. When we come back in the spring, I'll give you more bonuses if we make more money. ”

Several people regained consciousness. What attracts them the most in this clothing store is the so-called bonuses. As long as clothing stores make more money, they can also share more money. Unlike other stores, they have a little money every month, so they are more energetic in this orchid clothing store.

Liu Min quietly observed the expressions of the crowd. Only Lao Cai doesn't care too much. He was expected to go to sea to make a fortune. Naturally, he did not take into account the bonuses of the coat store.

"Hmm. Liu Min suddenly reacted. Lao Cai receives a salary in a clothing store on weekdays. When he wanted to do something, he was transferred by Chen Xin. He is equivalent to Chen Xinbai having a subordinate. "Good idea, dog-. ”

The bastard knelt respectfully on the floor of the hall: "I'm going to see Mrs. Zhao!" Chen Xin didn't feel uncomfortable this time. Mrs. Zhao is very gentle, she is Zhao Xiang's mother, it is better than kneeling on the so-called adult.

"Get up!" Mrs. Zhao smiled at Chen Xin. Her face is much better than it was two months ago. After marriage, Zhao Xiang had a home. In particular, Chen Xin promised the first boy surnamed Zhao. She seemed to have hope for life again, so even her hair turned black.

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhao!" Chen Xin kowtowed again before standing up. Zhao Xiang, who was mourning, accompanied Mrs. Zhao. She hadn't seen Chen Xin for a long time. She was very happy to see her today.

Chen Xin couldn't hold back a smile and solemnly saluted Zhao Xiang: "I've seen Miss." ”

Zhao Xiang also replied: "Thousands of adults, thousands of blessings." She said to Chen Xin, sticking out her tongue. Juxiang almost laughed and quickly covered her mouth.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't see Zhao Xiang behind her. She said gently, "Please sit in the accounting room." She was used to speaking to Chen Xin. She still called Chen Xin as before. Of course, Chen Xin didn't care.

Chen Xin sat upright. He wears a green gold bar and a square towel on his head. She looked very gentle. Mrs. Zhao looked at her son-in-law. The more she looked at her son-in-law, the happier she became. Today, Chen Xin has become one of thousands of households. Although military families can't listen to it, they are also five major commodities. There was no shortage of silver in their house. With this official body, they are even prettier

"Madame and Miss, I am here to resign today. "Ahh Mrs. Zhao turned to stare at her. She feigned a smile, and Mrs. Zhao looked back at her for a moment.

After Mrs. Zhao turned around, she also smiled: "Chen Tent, are you going to Weihai? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"If I go back to my wife, it's exactly like that. The Wei River hasn't frozen yet, so I can't leave later. ”

Zhao Xiang interjected: "It's good that you can't go." ”

Mrs. Zhao didn't look back at her this time. She smiled kindly and said, "You are a little girl who can stay." Besides, it's business. How can you be an official? As long as you don't go far, you can go anywhere. ”

Chen Xin knew that she was talking about maritime trade to Japan. At the moment, she doesn't go, and even if she wants to, no one will tell her. He said to Zhao Fu: "I want to take office, but I will come back after the Spring Festival." I don't go abroad. I'll send someone. ”

Mrs. Zhao understood what he meant. It doesn't matter if you send someone else to Japan. As long as her daughter was not widowed, she said to Chen Xindao kindly: "Don't blame me for my trouble." So many years. As soon as he said he was going there, my heart would ...... day and night."

Her eyes were red again. Chen Xin tried to convince her. Mrs. Zhao waved her hand, her face was still calm: "Now, I am looking forward to you marrying Xiang'er next year and adding a grandson to my Zhao family." She will never forget the first boy's surname Zhao. She has been following Zhao Dong's pirates for many years, and her style is quite bold. Her words were too explicit, Zhao Xiang's face was slightly red, and his mouth was curled behind him.

Anyway, Chen Xin is cheeky enough. He doesn't remember if he blushed in his life. Hearing this, he said, "I will do my best to get my wife to hold my grandson as soon as possible." ”

Now that Zhao Xiang has turned into a big red face, Zhu Xiang smiled. Mrs. Zhao looked at Chen Xin and narrowed her eyes with a smile. She said with satisfaction: "Chen's accountant is going to Weihai, but what's wrong? Do you need my help from Zhao?"

"I'm short of silver. Several people in the room opened their eyes at the same time. In general, they are polite. Chen Xin really dared to say it.

Mrs. Zhao didn't care, nodded, and said, "Okay, this shouldn't be rubbed." Just like Xiang'er's father. How much money do you need?"

Chen Xin calculated, he had 19,000 taels of silver. Now he used nearly a thousand taels of silver. He also planned to send Wen Wenren a few thousand taels. At least ten thousand taels remaining. There were more than 20,000 shares of this maritime trading ship. At least 15,000 more. So he said, "I want to borrow 20,000 taels." ”

Mrs. Zhao closed her eyes and did not speak. Everyone waited quietly for her answer. After a while, she opened her eyes. "Xiang'er, if you stay, everyone else will go out. ”

Zhang Bo, Ju Xiang and another maid all went out and walked out the door.

Mrs. Zhao said, "If you can borrow money, I will be Xiang'er's daughter." Sooner or later, the family will be yours. But remember, you can't go to the Kingdom of Japan alone. I'm going to ask Chen Zhangfang to swear. ”

Chen Xin solemnly swore that he would not go to Japan again. He is an atheist, has no pressure, and does not intend to conform to it. However, he sometimes felt that worshipping God was not necessarily a bad thing, nor was there necessarily a God. However, it was difficult for him to completely change his mind after receiving a materialistic education from a young age.

"I'm going to tell my son that there is God. Chen Xin listened to Mrs. Zhao's oath and looked at Mrs. Zhao's comforting expression. This reverence for God actually goes a long way in the formation of a sense of morality.

"Then the accounting office will wait. Mrs. Zhao stood up and walked out the door. She must have gone to get the silver ticket. "Hey. As soon as Mrs. Zhao disappeared from the door, Zhao Xiang waved to Chen Xin.

Chen Xin hurriedly rushed to her, Zhao Xiang's blush was not over: "Xiaojia, you owe money to my family now, will you listen to me in the future?"

Chen Xinwei said: "It is the boss who owes the money. If I violated the rules, I apologize to the people. ”

Zhao Xiang said with a smile: "Where did you come from, my family's affairs, other people's affairs, where are the people you called out to see." ”

"Well, I've heard a lot about these people, I've never seen them before. What I just said is that I can't feel sorry for Da Ming. I told you that enlightenment comes from the boudoir. ”

Zhao Xiang's mouth curled. She also knew that Chen Xin couldn't listen to her, but Chen Xin had a good temper. She had never seen him angry. She should also get along. Every time I talk to Chen Xin, I feel much better. It's a shame he had to go again.

"Little one, do you want to stay two more days? Let's talk more. ”

Chen Xin smiled and said, "If the ship freezes, you can't leave." Would you like to come and talk to you tonight?"

"My mom didn't allow it at night. ”

Chen Xin looked back at the door, touched a paper tube and a thread in his sleeve, and whispered, "You can see if there is a hole in the wall near the outside of your house." You can put the line out and speak. ”

"Can this thing talk?" Zhao Xiang was suspicious of this, only the outhouse where Ju Xiang lived had a small hole, and the small hole was blocked by a cupboard. It's not as big as a little finger. How can you speak?"

"You remember to hand the thread out and put the paper tube in your ear. ”

At this moment, Mrs. Zhao's footsteps came again, and the two soon separated.

"Chen's tent, take the silver bars. The four men are from Tianjin. Mrs. Zhao quietly told Chen Xin a few secret words about the silver ticket, and Chen Xin wrote them down one by one.

After Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, she said to Chen Xin: "Chen Zhangfang, you have been away for a few months. While we all believe in you, we always have to decide on a better place. It's best to have two tables here tonight. Ask your friends and family to come over and settle the relationship. ”

Chen Xin knew so much money, so it was impossible to take it. Either way, he had no intention of cheating. "I'll tell them right away and come back in the evening," he said. ”

"Good, good. Mrs. Zhao nodded, looked at Chen Xin, and narrowed her eyes.

At dinner that day, two tables were set up at the second entrance of the Zhao family's courtyard. Chen Xin's close friends, including Tan Shunlin, general manager of Erdao Street, all came to participate. He knew that Chen Xin was different from before, and he was only very close to the witnesses. Chen Xin has no elders in Tianjin. Mrs. Zhao was skeptical at first. Now that General Manager A is here, she is completely relieved. Zhao Xiang just came out to see you and returned to the boudoir. Of course, no one dared to mention Xiao Jiahua during the meal, so both the host and the guest were very happy, even if the whole family settled down. Chen Xin was a little drunk. Before the curfew, he said goodbye to Zhu Guobin together. He and Zhu Guobin first sent the two drunk Lao Cai father and son back to Li Yifang, and then returned to Erdao Street. As soon as he arrived home, the evening drum of the bell and drum tower sounded. Chen Xin suddenly remembered that he asked Zhao Xiang to speak at night, but he forgot about the curfew. However, he could not break his promise, so he had to go there. Chen Xin turned around and looked at the courtyard. Today, because of the engagement wine, everyone came.

"Fur Seal, follow me. "Chen Xin is still called a dogleg. Zhu Guobin was an official subordinate after Zheng Gang. It's not good to take him to see private matters.

Haigouzi didn't ask him where he was going, so he went out with Chen Xin. They first went to the Erdao Street Pharmacy to open the door and bought a bag of medicine to cure the cold. If they are caught by the night watch, they say they want to go out to buy medicine, and they will generally let it go. Then he left BOE for the north. Today, Geng Pu of Fangkou happens to be Master Zhou's guard on duty. When he saw the two of them going out, he said, "Brother Chen, I'm still going out." I'm not in a hurry. Chen Xin saw him baking bread in the store. He remembered that he was going to Weihai together. He just asked Zhou Shifa about his family. Zhou Shifa is also a homeless man. He never left any money. He hasn't been married in more than 20 years. His mother died last month, leaving only one younger brother, and he has already started a family. He planned to follow Chen Xin to Weihai.

As soon as Chen Xin thought of his personal arrangement, he arranged for him to be the guard beside him. This man was from the Ming Dynasty army. Don't bring those bad habits into the team. Let's practice first.

"Thank you, Brother Chen. I'll work hard. Later, Brother Chen could hit whoever he wanted, and he could kill whoever he wanted. Master Zhou rubbed his hands happily.

Chen Xinyi smiled and whispered, "Master, did you kill someone?"

Zhou Shifa nodded: "This time I went to Shanhaiguan and cut off the heads of several deserters. ”

Chen Xin's tone was flat. He seems to have a good quality. After a few words of encouragement, Zhou Shifa opened the door for them, and Chen Xin secretly took the fur seal to the street.

Fortunately, the north gate is not far from the Confucian Temple. They cautiously avoided the patrol and entered the alley behind the watch shop. It's snowed lately. The sky is cloudy. There are no lights at night. The street can be distinguished by the white color of the snow. You can't see your finger when you enter the driveway.

Trench took out the fire and wanted to fight. Chen Xin stopped him and said, "Don't fight. It's a black one. You can see it from a distance. The fur dog son had no choice but to put it in his arms again, and the two of them felt the wall all the way forward, estimating the position of the three people, and the two of them took gloves and carefully groped for the wall to see if there were any small holes.

After a long period of hard contact, Chen's novice was already numb and stiff. Finally, he saw a little light ahead. He reached out and touched it. There is indeed a line.

"Mom, it's finally here. Chen Xin put his eyes on the hole and saw that the hole was still a wooden plank. He seemed impatient. Chen Xin pulled out the thread first, covered the heat with both hands, and then slowly passed the thread through the hole under the paper tube.

"Hello, hello. Chen Xin shouted twice into the paper tube, but did not respond.

"Dog, slap the wall. Turn on the lights and take a picture over there. ”

After a few knocks, the board walked away. A big eye sticks out into the hole, still talking. The hole is too small and the walls are thick. Chen Xin couldn't hear Chen Xin putting his ear in the hole. He had to pull the rope several times. In the end, he felt like he had pulled the rope twice. Chen Xin fed the paper tube again. Then put the ears on the paper tube.

"Well, there's a voice in there. "The sound of inulin comes from the paper tube.

Chen Xin said to the paper tube: "Straighten the thread." ”

After a while, Zhao Xiang's clear voice came, "Straighten up"

"Yes. ”

"Ah, that's all too clear, little one, what are you doing there?

"I was the greatest physicist of my time, and I invented the world's first telephone," Chen said proudly

Zhao Xiang's voice came from the paper tube: "You are a little man with a strange spirit. The paper tube can be blown like this. What kind of call is this for the electric mother?"

Chen Xin turned his head to the trench and said, "Dog, go to the alley and keep guard." Wait for me to come out. ”

"Oh!" Chen Xin could only listen to the sound of the fur seals in the dark, and he could imagine the gurgling of the fur seals.

After the trench left, Chen Xincai continued: "Miss, you don't understand. Lei Gong spoke like thunder, and the electric mother could hear it without a paper tube. ”

"I'm not your woman now, she's the one who makes you scream. ”

"They're both engaged. The names on the three sacred stones are all written. They can still run away. ”

"Little one, are you cold?"

"You're not cold. ”

There was silence in the paper tube. Zhao Xiang's voice came from a calm voice: "You should treat me well in the future." I like you a lot. I think about you every day. ”

A long-lost feeling came to Chen Xin's mind. It seems like the feeling of first love many years ago. I may have many purposes for looking for Zhao Xiang myself, but I like this little girl very much.
