"What about the local imperial court?" Shen Rou asked in surprise, "Don't they care?" Even if the court doesn't care, aren't there still gentry? They can't just watch outsiders kill people in front of their homes. ”

"So, if you don't go there in person, you'll never be able to imagine what kind of place it is." Chen Houji was very emotional: "The local court worships our Central Plains Han culture, and the local gentry are the same. Seeing that the swords of our past were shiny and their armor was neat, their hearts were a little shorter. Moreover, they counted on our people to sell them fine Han Chinese things, expensive silk and fine porcelain...... Those natives are really slaves and pariahs in the eyes of the gentry, and human life is worse than mustard. Chen Houji shook his head and sighed very emotionally: "Those gentry can't be called gentry at all, they are just some barbaric and uncivilized slave owners, and they are very short-sighted. ”

"That's exactly what happened." Shen Rouning sighed, not knowing what to say.

"It can't be denied that Ji Tong's kid has a very accurate grasp of the form, and when he does things to people, he is very set." Chen Houji said: "I am not afraid of fighting with real knives and guns." But after the fight, I will deal with the local court and slave owners, and I will not be able to give benefits when to be tough and when to give benefits. ”

"Businessmen are the most daring and careful." Shen Rouning also praised it, and then said with a smile: "In this way, Nanyang Manor is running very smoothly, and the commercial bank is making a lot of profits, so I can also share more silver for the New Year?" ”

"Don't worry, you will definitely be satisfied." Chen Houji also smiled.

The conversation between the two of them became easy.

The car went directly to the shore of Pearl Lake, and the two people led the two maids to board a small boat and board a delicate painting boat. The painting boat belongs to the name of Mingyue Building. It was called Mingyue, the materials are of high quality, and the decoration is very exquisite.

The vermilion painting boat is silent on the shore of the lake, making it a beautiful scenery of its own.

Lord Mingjia has not yet come.

Qin Xuhao Ji Tong has arrived. The two of them were talking in a low voice, and it seemed that Ji Tong was reporting something.

If Chen Houji's temperament has changed slightly, in the end, he is more mature, calm, and resolute, but at this moment, in Shen Rouning's eyes, the son of Qin Xuxu is the same as when he was in Ningbo before, neither thin nor dark. The eyebrows are still beautiful and picturesque. The skin is still delicate and delicate, with a gorgeous brocade robe, and a beautiful jade ring, it is still indistinguishable from male and female. It's like a girl's house.

"What is Ah Ning looking at?" Qin Xu met Shen Rouning's gaze after receiving it. Peach Blossom's eyes narrowed. With a smile like a peach blossom in full bloom, he asked, "Do you feel that after many days, my son is more handsome." Provoked Ah Ning's sister to be stupid? ”

The slightly frivolous tone made Shen Rouning suddenly think of the former Deng Changnian, and the joyful smile on her face suddenly dispersed.

Qin Xu seemed stunned, and then raised his eyebrows upward, as if asking, what's wrong?

In his heart, Shen Rouning is not a little girl who can't listen to this kind of joke. Why haven't you seen each other for a year, but people have grown up and become much more beautiful, but what kind of personality will become...... Boring? In this case...... Unconsciously, he had restrained his smile and was much more serious.

Shen Rou Ning came back to her senses, walked closer to Qin Xu and Ji Tong, and sighed lightly: "I'm wondering, Xu Shao, you went to the battlefield, didn't you even go out of your camp?" Why can't you tell you're coming back from the battlefield at all? ”

"Ah Ning is saying that this son does not have the heroic killing aura of the battlefield?" Qin Xu's eyebrows moved exaggeratedly, and he said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this son afraid of scaring the delicate Sister A Ning?" Besides, when he returned to this prosperous place in the capital, his son was a handsome son...... How can the rude and barbaric big-headed soldier be suitable for the current scene? How inappropriate it is to fight and kill! ”

"Makes sense." Shen Rou smiled quietly and stopped arguing with him.

After the ceremony, Ji Tong soon introduced the achievements of Nanyang Commercial Bank this year. Ji Tong has really changed a lot. His clothes still looked extraordinarily expensive, and he was young, and he wore five or six jeweled rings on his fingers, all of which were almost blinding...... But his whole person's spirit is completely different from when he was in Ningbo Mansion.

In Ningbo Mansion, he was just a bluffing young master, but now, he has become a successful businessman with confidence and confidence. The difference between heaven and earth is not the same.

Some important things, Ji Tong has obviously been reported by Qin Xu. Chen Houji also knew a little bit about it before. Moreover, Chen Houji does not care about these. What he cared about was the kind of "frivolous" smile that Qin Xu showed when he saw Shen Rouning before.

Chen Houji grabbed Qin Xu to the window, away from Ji Tong and Shen Rouning, and asked Qin Xu in a low voice, "Qin Yu, what did you mean by that just now?" ”

"What do you mean?" Qin Xu broke Chen Houji's hand and tidied up his clothes carelessly, still paying attention to Shen Rouning from the corner of his eye.

It's only been a year, how did that little girl look so good? It's like a pearl of jade that exudes brilliance from the inside out, it's really pleasing to the eye, and there's nothing bad about it. I heard that she has been studying painting all along, and she has been studying with Chen Houyun...... Well, naturally, it is not comparable to those straw bale beauties who have nothing to show for themselves......

Unconsciously, Qin Xu's thoughts diverged, forgetting that Chen Houji was beside him and was questioning him.

"Is Ah Ning good-looking?" Chen Houji suddenly whispered in his ear.

"Yes, it's beautiful." Qin Xu nodded unconsciously, his gaze still roaming left and right around Shen Rouning.

Seeing him like this, Chen Houji could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, grabbed Qin Xu's collar, pushed open the door with one hand, dragged him to the corner outside, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and said, "Qin Xu!" ”

"What for!" Qin Xu was almost out of shape when he was suddenly grabbed and dragged out, squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Houji coldly and said, "Chen Er, you are really brave!" ”

"Whew!" Chen Houji didn't care about the threat of killing intent hidden in his eyes at this time, snorted coldly, didn't ask anything, and said directly: "I warn you Qin Mi, don't allow you to fight Ah Ning's idea!" Hear me! ”

Qin Xu was stunned for a moment, then carefully glanced up and down on Chen Houji's body, pushed him away after a while, suddenly laughed brightly, raised his chin slightly, and said in a low voice: "Chen Er, I just want to beat her idea...... How are you staying? (To be continued......)
