14. Chapter XIV

"You're not afraid that I'll take the money and run away?" Zhou Shiying asked.

"This money is not enough to be entangled, and you are not stupid", Lin Hongwen said, "Go quickly, don't delay your work here." ”

"Gotta go", Zhou Shiying said, "Little boss, I'll go now." ”

After sending Zhou Shiying away, Lin Hongwen saw that it was not too early, so he returned to the hospital with chestnuts. The first thing he did when he went back was to give the chestnuts to Zheng Yun, Zheng Yun took it and opened a stuffed mouth, and said vaguely, "Are you going to buy chestnuts or plant chestnuts, it's a shame that there is no one today, otherwise I don't know what to say when the master looks for you." ”

"I met an acquaintance and chatted for a while," Mr. Lin said.

"You've been running hard enough lately."

"I've been running diligently lately, I've always been diligent, and Dr. Xu said that I don't have a good foundation and need to be active more."

"What I know is that you have to move more, I don't know if I still think", Zheng Yun touched Lin Hongwen with his elbow, "I thought you had a crush on a girl." ”

"yes, yes, I've got a crush on the girl."

"Who's that?"

"Qian family", Lin Hongwen said, "The girl's name is Qian Qian Qian." ”

"Hey", Zheng Yun laughed, "Are you losing money or what, why do you say you want so much money for a single person." ”

"Marry a daughter-in-law", Lin Hongwen said seriously, "Didn't you and Cheng Yu say that they were poor before, so don't bother other other girls to suffer with you." ”

"......" Zheng Yun changed the subject depressedly, "By the way, have you heard, there is new wine sold in the tavern at the corner of the street." ”

"What's new?" Lin Hongwen asked.

"I heard that Lao Maozi opened a winery in Qinjiagang", Zheng Yun said, "The wine is made of wheat, and there are bubbles in it, which is very interesting, when will we try it?" ”

"It's really novel," Lin Hongwen said with a smile, "We should try it." ”

While the two were talking, He Gui knocked on the door and came in.

He Gui carried wine and pastries, and saluted Xu Shihuai as soon as he entered the door with a girl, "Girl, kowtow to Dr. Xu, he saved your little life." ”

The girl was also smart, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed and said, "He Yao kowtowed to Dr. Xu, thank you for saving your life." ”

"This can't be helped", Xu Shihuai hurriedly helped her up, "Something within the division, something within the division." ”

"I should have brought her over a long time ago, but I didn't dare to let her come out," He Gui said, "It's all over the past two days, so I'll bring her here quickly." ”

"It's good if the injury is healed", Xu Shihuai said, "You girl can be regarded as a big disaster, and if you don't die, you will have a blessing." By the way, I heard you're here to stay. ”

"Yes, the houses over there in Hulan have burned down, and there is no place to live when I go back", He Gui said, "I want to sell those few acres of land in the future, this kind of world, tied to the ground, is not good." ”

"That being said, but it may not be easy for you to make a living when you are away from home."

"It's a little more difficult, but now there are a lot of people in this city, and I have some capital in my hands, so I can still make a living by doing a little business, and after a while I sell the land, I will be more relaxed at hand", He Gui said with hope in his eyes, "In short, I understand, now in this year, what land and what house do you want, foreigners can't keep anything when they come, it's better to take the four seas as your home, and run away if you have something to pack up." ”

"That's what you said", Xu Shihuai said with a smile, "Once the battle starts, how can there be a quasi-child." ”

Lin Hongwen lowered his head while listening to their chat, and suddenly a figure walked over, Lin Hongwen looked up, and He Yao was looking at him with blank eyes. Lin Hongwen looked left and right, and finally grabbed a handful of chestnuts and gave them to her, "Eat it." ”

He Yao nodded and smiled, "Thank you, brother", she pointed to the "Foreign History" next to her, "Brother is reading this book?" ”

"Hmm."

"Can I take a look?"

"Look," Lin Hongwen said, "I'm busy right now, and I can't watch it." ”

He Yao turned a few pages and put the book back, "I don't understand what is said above." ”

Lin Hongwen smiled, "How old are you, it's strange to understand everything." ”

"Brother, you smile so beautifully", He Yao looked at him with wide eyes and said.

Lin Hongwen smiled, "You little girl knows what is good or not." ”

"If you look at it or not, you can know what it has to do with age", He Yao pouted and said, "Although my brother smiles beautifully, his mouth is unforgiving." ”

Lin Hongwen smiled, "Which of us is unforgiving, eat your chestnuts." ”

He Yao sat aside angrily to eat chestnuts, and after eating a handful of chestnuts, seeing that her father had no intention of leaving, she twisted and moved to the medicine bucket, "Brother, are you going to go to the place written in this book in the future?" ”

"Me?" Lin Hongwen smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid I can't go." ”

"If you can't go, why do you want to watch it?"

"It's because I can't go, so I want to see it", Lin Hongwen said, "I can't go by myself, and I don't look at what the people who go say, it's like shrinking in a shell all day long, I don't know what is going on outside, and as soon as I come out, people can't find the north." ”

He Yao pursed her lips, "I don't understand what you said, but I heard that Dr. Xu's son went to the British and British ......."

"English," Lin continued, "Dr. Xu said he had recently gone to Japan. ”

"When he comes back, you can ask him to tell you about it," He Yao said, "and save you from reading." ”

"I found out that you are a special little girl", Zheng Yun said in a low voice, Lin Hongwen glanced at him and didn't say anything more.

29.

When Zhou Shiying came to find Lin Hongwen, he had already cleaned up like a dog, he was not bad, but now he has cleaned up and is even more handsome. He wears a dark gray jacket with black trouser legs exposed, and a pair of platform boots. Lin Hongwen looked him up and down and said, "This is like a child of a rich family." ”

"That's ah", Zhou Shiying said, "I didn't waste the money you gave me, except for the money you spent on the hotel, you say, where are we going?" ”

Lin Hongwen threw out three words expressionlessly, "Peach Blossom Lane." ”

"What's that?" Zhou Shiying asked puzzledly.

"Brothel."

“……”

"Let's go", Lin Hongwen looked at him, but Zhou Shiying still didn't move.

"You wait a while", Zhou Shiying said, "Little boss, I know you are good to me, but ** this matter is not firm for you to bother." ”

"Who's going to take you there?"

"No prostitution?" Zhou Shiying looked at Lin Hongwen in surprise, "Why are we going if you don't prostitute?" ”

"Do business," Lin Hongwen said, "Aren't you going to sell your bottles of perfume?" You brought it, right? ”

"Bring it, let's go to the brothel to sell it?"

"What if it weren't?" Lin Hongwen asked rhetorically, "Can ordinary people afford it?" Are you willing to buy it? ”

"It's too", Zhou Shiying sighed, "But aren't there any rich people in this city?" ”

"Yes," Lin Hongwen said, "but I don't know you." ”

Zhou Shiying slapped her thigh, "Yes, who sells is not selling, just make a move." ”

"Don't worry, you are the most attractive with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, you will definitely be able to make a move", Lin Hongwen hooked the corners of his mouth, and smiled so that Zhou Shiying's back was cold, "Can you not laugh like that?" ”

"Doesn't look good?" Lin Hongwen touched his chin, "Yesterday, there was a little girl who said I smiled beautifully." ”

"Is there anything wrong with the girl's eyes?" , Zhou Shiying withdrew his gaze to look at the road ahead, no longer looking at him.

Peach Blossom Lane during the day is far less ambiguous than at night, and even more deserted than other alleys. Zhou Shiying followed Lin Hongwen in from the door, greeted the bustard, and then went upstairs. In the hall upstairs, Qin Hong was bored with melon seeds, and when he saw Lin Hongwen coming in, the melon seeds stopped knocking down, and he got up and greeted him.

"Who else should I be, it turns out that you have no conscience", Qin Hong reached out and pinched Lin Hongwen's face, "I still asked Zheng Yun about you." ”

"Sister Hong said and laughed", Lin Hongwen rubbed her aching cheeks, "There were some changes in the family before, and I was sick for a while, so I didn't come to see Sister Hong." ”

"I said it", Qin Hong circled around Lin Hongwen, "Just seeing your head growing, you have lost a lot of weight, it turns out that you are sick." You came here in broad daylight, and you didn't think you were here to take care of my business, so let's say, what's the matter? ”

"Although I didn't come to cheer, but there is a gadget I want to give to Sister Hong for compensation", Lin Hongwen glanced at Zhou Shiying, and Zhou Shiying took out a bottle of perfume from his arms and handed it to him in a hurry.

"Oh, isn't this for foreigners?" Qin Hong said, "This thing is a rare thing here. ”

"Sister Hong is really a knowledgeable person", Lin Hongwen said, "This thing is different from incense powder, just one drop, the fragrance can last for a long time." ”

Qin Hong took the bottle and carefully examined the liquid inside. Lin Hongwen turned around and said, "Shi Ying, help Sister Hong try perfume." ”

30.

Zhou Shiying came over with understanding, Qin Hong looked at him, Zhou Shiying did not avoid her gaze, just smiled and took the perfume from her hand, took out a small amount and gently applied it to her wrist, "Sister Hong, just take one or two drops at a time, the fragrance of roses is relatively strong at first, and after a while, you can smell some pine leaves and sandalwood, the fragrance is long-lasting, and there are changes, just like Sister Hong's style." ”

Qin Hong looked at Zhou Shiying, then at Lin Hongwen, and smiled, "This little brother can talk more than you, I accepted this gift, and I have been painting it every day for the past few days, if any sister asks, I will let them go to you, but I don't know, where do you stay?" ”
