Chen Qun stopped laughing and looked at Pang De with a helpless face and said: "Brother Ling Ming, let's follow the price you said, five thousand yuan a month, you follow me to do things, I won't let you do anything to kill people and set fires, but if someone wants to kill me, you are not allowed to stand idly by, otherwise I will be angry." ”

Pound said with a straight face: "Of course! If you take the owner's money, you have to protect the owner's thoughtfulness, and Pound still understands this in his heart. ”

Chen Qun nodded, and then took out a hundred gold and handed it to Pang De: "Brother Ling Ming, let's not calculate it anymore, this is the ten-year salary for you, and the extra part is the money to buy your horses, do you think it's enough?" ”

After Pang De took the two ingots of gold handed over by Chen Qun with trembling hands, he couldn't help but swallow: "Enough!" Enough is enough! There is also a surplus. ”

Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "It's enough!" The surplus or not the surplus is yours. You hurry back and say goodbye to your brother, and I'll be waiting for you at the Chen Kee Restaurant in the city. The horse in your picture is still yours, and we will take the rest of the horses with us, and we will take our leave. ”

After Chen Qun finished speaking, he turned around and left, Huang Zhong and Hua Da and others hurriedly stepped forward to lead the horse, Pang De looked at Chen Qun's back and nodded slightly, and then led his thin black-mouthed yellow horse away.

After Pang De left, Hua Da hugged his fist at Chen Qun and said: "Family master, we don't know where Pang De's family lives, isn't it good to let him leave like this?" ”

Chen Qun waved his hand when he heard this: "It's okay, if Pang De really escapes with the hundred gold and doesn't come to see me, count me blind, and settle accounts with him when I meet him in the future." But I guess Pound probably won't do that, if what he said is true, he can now be said to have no fixed place to live, and he is trying to find a suitable place, and our Chen Kee Restaurant is the best place for him to go now. ”

Hua Da bowed his head and hugged his fist at Chen Qun when he heard this, but he was speechless.

Chen Qun looked at Hua Da and smiled: "You have done a good job, if you have any doubts in your hearts in the future, you must tell me in time, after all, it is impossible for me to think about everything in everything." Good! The purpose of our trip has finally been achieved, let's go back to the restaurant to rest for two days and wait for Pound. ”

After Chen Qun and his entourage returned to the restaurant, Huang Zhong said goodbye to Chen Qun and rode out of the city on his newly acquired sweaty BMW. Chen Qun looked at Huang Zhong's back and smiled slightly, he understood very well that the generals of this era were in love with BMW, no less than the pursuit of famous cars by the rich in their previous lives.

Two days later, Pang De arrived, and Chen Qun hurriedly went downstairs to greet Pang De after getting the report: "Brother Ling Ming, you are really trustworthy!" Is it all settled at home? ”

Pound nodded and clenched his fists and said, "Yes, my cousin is happy that I can find such a good thing to do." ”

Chen Qun came to Pound and patted Pound on the shoulder and said happily: "Okay! It's good to have no worries, our Chen Ji Restaurant has opened all over the counties of every state in the Han Dynasty, and you will definitely have to follow me around in the future, if you are worried, it will not be beautiful. ”

Pang De clenched his fists and looked at Chen Qun's eyes: "Don't worry, owner!" In the future, wherever the owner goes, Ling Ming will follow, and if he can go to every county of the Han Dynasty, it will also be Ling Ming's blessing. ”

"Hahaha......! Good! Then let's go back to Luoyang tomorrow. Chen Qun laughed.

Pound nodded.

In the early morning of the second day, Chen Qun, Huang Zhong, Pang De and seven female guards set off for Shaomuro Mountain City after breakfast.

On June 10, Chen Qun and his entourage finally returned to Shaomuro Mountain City after four days of travel. After everyone in the mountain city learned that Chen Qun had returned, they came to Chen Qun's house one by one to visit Chen Qun. Chen Qun introduced Huang Zhong and Pang De to everyone, and arranged a place for Pang De to live. Everyone welcomed Huang Zhong and Pang De to join.

After leaving for two months, the changes in Shaomu Mountain City are quite large, and the most surprising thing for Chen Qun is that Xu Shu took 1,600 gold and handed it to him, and at the same time, Xu Shu explained to Chen Qun: "Changwen, last month's wheat harvest in the north, I sent someone to buy 2,000 gold of wheat, which is enough for us for the next year, so there is only so much cash." But then you're sure to quickly accumulate a fortune! ”

Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "It's still senior brother who has thought it through, and I forgot about the food!" My brother doesn't need to explain the accounting problem to me, I believe in my brother's character. In addition, after the rice in the south is ripe, I will buy 2,000 gold of rice and come back, and in the following days, whether I am there or not, my senior brother will take charge of this family for me. ”

Xu Shu smiled slightly when he heard this: "You kid really regards me as your big housekeeper!" But it's good, it feels good to be your big housekeeper, at least you don't have to worry about running out of money to spend, and you don't have to worry about no one using it. ”

"Hahaha......" everyone laughed out loud at Xu Shu's amusement.

After Chen Qun stopped laughing, he thought about it and looked at Xu Shu and said, "Senior brother, how is the production status of those shops at home?" Did you encounter any difficulties? ”

Xu Shu thought for a moment when he heard this, and said: "The production of the four kinds of shops is going relatively smoothly, although some difficulties have been encountered, but they have been solved with the efforts of Guan Shi, and now a lot of cloth and silk have been stored at home, and the quality is not bad." The blacksmith also produced more than 100 pieces of armor and hundreds of weapons. Tailors and shoe shops also made hundreds of finished products. ”

After listening to this, Chen Qun nodded and said, "Senior brother, don't leave the cloth and silk produced there, although it is summer now, we have to think about the winter."

I thought so, can I make a new quilt, a new pillow, a new pillow towel, a new bed sheet, a new mattress for everyone in the family, and then make two new clothes for each of you, two new pairs of shoes, including cotton shoes for the winter. Make sure everyone can dress and sleep well for the Chinese New Year this year. What do you think? ”

After Chen Qun finished speaking, everyone looked at Chen Qun in surprise one by one, not that Chen Qun's idea was wrong, but that Chen Qun's idea was too good!

Liu Bei took the lead in praising it: "Fourth brother, the eldest brother supports your decision, you can make such a decision, the eldest brother admires it very much!" I believe that if the Chen family knew that you were doing this, they would definitely work harder. ”

"Support you! Long article! ......" everyone said.

Seeing this, Chen Qun said with a straight face: "Okay! Since everyone has no opinion, then it is decided, and then Senior Brother Lao will supervise the implementation of this matter. ”

Xu Shu smiled when he heard this: "There is no problem, there is no need to supervise this matter at all, the brothers know that they are doing things for themselves, how can they not work hard, don't worry." ”

Chen Qun nodded and looked at Zhao Yun again: "Master, your trip is going well, right?" ”

Zhao Yun smiled slightly: "It's okay, if it weren't for the fact that we encountered too much water blocking the way along the way, we wouldn't have to be so troublesome." When we arrived in Jiaozhou, there was a rebellion over there, so we only spent 30 gold to buy a restaurant and a house, which just made up for our losses along the way, otherwise the gold might really not be enough.

Fortunately, when we left, the rebellion on the Jiaozhou side had been quelled, and now all the restaurants in Jiaozhou have started to open for business, and they have not been affected much. ”

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Chen Qun smiled and said, "That's good!" In any case, as long as our restaurant is successfully opened. By the way, master, how are my guards doing now? ”

"Hehe, if you don't ask about this, I will tell you, this trip down, there are forty people who have practiced internal strength, thirty-seven are men, and the remaining three are women."

Hearing this, Chen Qun stepped forward and shook Zhao Yun's hand in surprise: "Really, master!" That's great! I'll have enough people to use in the future. ”

Zhao Yun nodded, a slight smile appeared on his face, he followed Chen Qun to the present, except for feeling that Chen Qun's martial arts were not very good, he was quite satisfied in other aspects.

Liu Bei then got up and said to Chen Qun: "Fourth brother, the eldest brother has been eating and living in your mountain city for more than half a year, and he is idle all day long. ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun looked at Liu Bei's eyes and frowned, "Big brother, could it be that the younger brother did something wrong?" ”

Liu Bei hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this: "Fourth brother, don't say that, if you say it, the eldest brother will be angry." Didn't the eldest brother say it? The eldest brother decided to go to the post to be the county magistrate, not because of anything else, do you understand? ”

Chen Qun bowed his head and was silent when he heard this, he knew that he couldn't keep Liu Bei by his side all the time, Liu Bei was an ambitious person after all.

Chen Qun looked up at Liu Bei after thinking clearly: "Okay big brother, you go, junior brother supports your decision." If you still need anything, just say it. ”

Liu Bei looked at Chen Qun's eyes and smiled: "I will take your second brother and third brother with me, you now have Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong by your side, as well as Chen Zhi and Pang De, two good hands to help, and Xu Shu as your big housekeeper, so I will take your second brother and third brother away together." ”

Chen Qun nodded when he heard this: "Since the eldest brother said this, it must have been discussed with my second brother and third brother, and the younger brother is not good to say anything, but if the eldest brother encounters difficulties outside, he must send someone to inform the younger brother in time, and the younger brother will definitely do his best to help after receiving the news." ”

Liu Bei hugged his fist at Chen Qun and said, "Don't worry, fourth brother, the eldest brother has written it down." ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he turned around and left with a fist salute to Chen Qun again, Guan Yu came to Chen Qun's side and frowned: "Fourth brother, second brother has gone, I am very relieved to your second brother, but to the eldest brother, the second brother really can't let go." ”

Chen Qun looked at Guan Yu's sincere eyes and smiled: "The second brother is right, I really can't let go of the eldest brother, you and the third brother have been by the side of the eldest brother, you must take care of the eldest brother, if you have any difficulties, you must remember to tell me, or you can go to the neighboring Chen Ji Restaurant to tell the person in charge there." ”

Guan Yu nodded and hugged his fist at Chen Qun and said, "Second brother knows, you take care and say goodbye." ”

After Guan Yu left, Zhang Fei then came to Chen Qun's side and patted Chen Qun's shoulder: "Fourth brother, take care!" If anyone dares to bully you, you send someone to tell the third brother, and the third brother will break his arm and discount his thigh! ”

Chen Qun smiled at Zhang Fei and said, "Okay, third brother, junior brother has written it down." ”

Zhang Fei glared at Chen Qun and nodded, then turned to leave.

Chen Qun waved to the backs of the three of them, but none of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked back.

Xu Shu looked at Chen Qun, who was standing in a daze, and coughed and said, "Changwen, your three righteous brothers have gone away, and there are so many brothers behind you looking at you." ”

Chen Qun came back to his senses and smiled when he heard this: "How do I feel that most of my three righteous brothers will not return to the mountain city after this trip." Are they really not attached to the mountain city at all? ”

Xu Shu sighed and said, "You are so good!" You put a lot of pressure on your eldest brother Liu Bei, so Liu Bei must be seeking development here, and you don't need to worry about anything. ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Senior brother is right, I should be happy for my eldest brother." ”
