Oh, Meng Jiucheng looked at Chen Hongji, squeezed his eyebrows, and teased: "It seems that Brother Chen has passed Tang Niangzi, and he is still having an endless aftertaste!" ”

Chen Hong gradually laughed, in fact, he was waiting for Meng Jiucheng to ask, this kind of interest made him feel more good about Meng Jiucheng, but he pretended to be reserved, waved his hand and said: "Make fun of it, make fun of it." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Brother Chen is only one day behind you, and he is also a leader." Guo Chen replied on behalf of Chen Hong.

The cold hustle and bustle was over, Meng Jiucheng went into the house to change his clothes, and then came back and sat around the table with a few people.

"This is the money left over that day, and the younger brother has to thank the elder brother here." Meng Jiucheng returned the money left over from visiting the Qinglou to Guo Chen and thanked him.

"You, it's really-" Guo Chen looked at Meng Jiucheng's serious appearance, shook his head helplessly, and reached out to accept it.

Seeing Guo Chen accept the money, Meng Jiucheng smiled and said, "There is still something to tell Brother Guo...... and then, he told him about buying a house.

Everyone is not stupid, and those who know about returning the Fox Immortal Book to Heaven know in their hearts that this is the Fox Immortal repaying Meng Jiucheng. And Meng Jiucheng told Guo Chen that he didn't want to lose the bad reputation of valuing profits over friends, which shows his open-mindedness.

Guo Chen smiled bitterly and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything like gratitude or admiration, just nodded in agreement, and then changed the topic and talked about other things.

"The county magistrate has sent an envoy, and the younger brother will be busy in the future." Meng Jiucheng twisted his wine glass and said in a deep voice: "This is the first matter of the junior brother after he entered the government, and he wants to do it well. It's just that the foundation is shallow and the manpower is insufficient, and I want to ask a few brothers to help me more. ”

"What is this called, my own brother, what else do you want to help or not?" Although Guo Chen's words seemed to be angry, they were close.

Chen Hongjian was a cautious person, just nodded in agreement with Guo Chen, but did not express his position lightly.

Meng Jiucheng raised his glass to express his gratitude, and then said his thoughts and the manpower needed one by one.

asked Jiang Dongshan to help Wang Zhongfeng form a militia and train militias; asked Guo Chen to send some well-known Zhuangding to help settle the displaced people and supervise the construction of the city; Ask Chen Hongjian to go back and discuss with his family, and the displaced people will go to the grain shop with a relief ticket to receive grain and rice......

Don't look at Meng Jiucheng as the secretary of the Yazhong, he is higher than those officials and undertakers, but he has been in the Yazhong for a short time and has not yet established any prestige.

Although Jia She's appreciation and attention, it is not so easy to make those people bow down and carry out their orders to the letter. Those who are bright dare not disobey, and those who are secretly distorting and slacking off. Meng Jiucheng wanted to complete the work quickly and well, but he didn't want to waste time ambushing these people, so he simply started anew, first using some obedient and obedient helpers, and then slowly selecting some suitable talents from the displaced people or counties to form a more efficient work team.

"For some small things, I will go back to the village tomorrow and find some suitable people to help Brother Meng." Guo Chen agreed happily.

"Although I don't usually take care of the business of the shop, it is not only a matter of Brother Meng, but also a cooperation with the government, and my father and eldest brother must be willing." Chen Honggradually felt that there was not much difficulty, and the full amount of the ticket was paid, and the government would pay according to the ticket later, but it would arrive later, and with the financial and material resources of the Chen family, there should not be a problem of occupying funds and not being able to open the turnover.

"Brother Wang has already made up his mind, Brother Meng can rest assured." Jiang Dongshan is not only Wang Zhongfeng's fellow countryman, but also has the same righteousness as him, and after drinking it a few times, he almost kowtowed.

Meng Jiucheng was happy in his heart, and if he initially solved the manpower problem, he would be able to show his strength and make achievements for Na Jia She, which was enough to establish his prestige in the yazhong.

"Thank you, brothers." Meng Jiucheng raised his glass and said with a smile: "Another day, the younger brother will be the east, and he will have a drink in that Xiaoyao Building." ”

"Haha, although that Xiaoyao Building is good, it's just drinking, but it's still less interesting." Guo Chen teased: "If my brother can invite that Oiran lady, hehe." ”

Singing, dancing and accompanying wine are the services provided by the women of the Qinglou, and this was particularly popular in the Song Dynasty, and even officials often called ** to serve banquets. But Meng Jiucheng didn't want to do this, because he felt that this was a contempt for Tang Xi, but he didn't want to categorically reject Guo Chen. After all, Guo Chen was just joking, and it was also the thinking of people at that time.

"Brother Guo laughed, how can the little brother have such a big face." Meng Jiucheng thought about fooling around, and neither agreed nor refused.

"If life is only as it first sees." Chen Hong gradually shook his head and chanted, and said in a strange manner: "Tang Niangzi is full of praise for the words given by Brother Meng, and she will never forget it." If it is said that others have no face, but Brother Meng wants to see the summons, Tang Niangzi will definitely come. ”

Being able to come is to give you face, but Meng Jiucheng doesn't want to invite Tang to pity it in this name, it is clear that he is self-assured and contemptuous! Therefore, Meng Jiucheng smiled silently, drank wine and ate vegetables, and occupied his mouth.

Chen Hong gradually realized that he was very talented, and he looked down on Meng Jiucheng at the beginning. But I didn't expect to be hit hard in Yingchunfang, whether it was wit and intelligence, or poetry and lyrics, they were all compared to Meng Jiucheng, and it was impossible to say that there was no jealousy and sourness in my heart.

This is different from Guo Chen, Wang Zhongfeng, and Jiang Dongshan, they don't have much talent and knowledge, and they know that they are rude, but they don't have the heart to compete with others in this regard.

Meng Jiucheng thinks that this is a stinky problem of small hearts and light literati, although he thinks that Chen Hongjian can be regarded as a friend, but compared with Guo Chen and others, it is one layer worse.

In other words, although Meng Jiucheng is very smart and has a lot of eyes, he is more willing to associate with straightforward men. Because, that way is not tiring.

Chen Hongjian still wanted to entangle, but Wang Zhongfeng had already diverted the topic and talked about martial arts. Meng Jiucheng hurriedly accosted him, which can be regarded as getting rid of Chen Hong.

"Although Brother Meng is busy with his mission, he has not slackened in his martial arts training, and his progress is rapid. Some of the methods of practicing the exercises have been tried somewhere, and the results have been remarkable. Wang Zhongfeng's appreciation came from the heart, and he didn't understand how Meng Jiucheng could learn so quickly and practice so hard. Since he couldn't figure it out, he was all down to talent and perseverance.

As for Wang Zhongfeng's method of practice, it is nothing more than push-ups, planks, getting up on the ground, etc., which is more convenient and easy to do, and it is also in line with many scientific principles.

"When it comes to practicing martial arts, I have always been very strange and don't understand why Brother Meng is so enthusiastic." Jiang Dongshan asked with some curiosity: "Wengui and Wu, isn't Brother Meng worried about being looked down upon by the county magistrate and his colleagues?" ”

"Brother wants to be a civil and military all-rounder, right?" Guo Chen didn't wait for Meng Jiucheng to answer, so he guessed and said.

Meng Jiucheng smiled faintly and said, "What kind of all-round talent in civil and military affairs, how dare the little brother be so arrogant?" It's just that I was bullied by a scoundrel before, and I just want to have a skill. ”

Wang Zhongfeng smiled, disbelieving. To deal with scoundrels, how can you use such a lot of effort, and how can you learn spears, bows and arrows?
