Chang Zhenbang laughed out loud when he heard this, and even made a move to cover his stomach halfway.

Wu Chuan Xingying's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but say curiously: "What is Zhen Bangjun laughing at?" ”

Chang Zhenbang covered his stomach, and suddenly pointed at Wuchuan Yukio and said, "Brother Xingxiong, you tell me how much is 100,000 pounds and 1 million oceans?" ”

Wu Chuan Yukio didn't know what was going on, Chang Zhenbang actually asked this kind of pediatric question, but seeing that Wu Chuan Xingying didn't have any special statement, he said boldly: "One hundred thousand pounds is about 500,000 pounds less than 600,000 oceans, how can it be with one million oceans." As soon as he heard this, Zhang Youneng's eyes were almost logged out. I couldn't help but think that it was better to be an official, as long as I nodded, it was really easy to get hundreds of thousands of oceans, and it was estimated that it would take tens of thousands of years to rely on the soil to eat.

"Good!" Chang Zhenbang said with a smile: "Mr. Xingying Zhenbang knows that you are from a martial arts family, and you are an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, but the ability to calculate is not strong, the official document you gave me at the beginning was one million, but now you only give me 100,000 pounds, and the pound is not worth more than one million!" What's more, now that the town guard wants to build a Western hospital in Jiujiang, all countries know about it, but your bids are getting less and less, and you really have no sincerity at all! ”

Wu Chuan Xingying smiled and said: "Previously, my consul in Jiujiang hoped to make every effort to build Jiujiang in the municipal aspect, but unfortunately my lord only allowed the hospital, and this 100,000 pounds is really a lot. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "100,000 pounds is a lot for you and me, but it is too small for all countries and all countries, as long as Jiujiang Xiyang Hospital once the tender, it will never be more than 100,000 pounds!" ”

"That's a lot of 100,000 pounds, but you don't have 100,000 pounds to keep!" Yuei Takekawa said-for-tat.

Chang Zhenbang said: "It's a pity that the official is not greedy for money, as long as he can eat bran for the benefit of the people of Jiujiang, it doesn't matter!" ”

Wu Chuan Xingying was aggressive: "My lord is benevolent and righteous, I admire it below, but I have a question below, I don't know if I should talk about it or not!" ”

"You and my old friends meet and catch up, but it's okay to talk about it!" Chang Zhenbang Road.

"Adults can be as honest as water, and they can eat bran vegetables, but I don't know if the brothers under the adults can eat bran vegetables with adults! I wonder if their families can eat bran with the adults! I also hope that Brother Zhenbang will answer me truthfully. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "This is really a good question! Then the official might as well tell you that honesty is my personal official virtue, but everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced. I have no reason to ask others to suffer with me, so my brothers don't need to be like me, besides, they are paid as soldiers and responsible for the country, and they are not my Chang Zhenbang's private soldiers, and it has nothing to do with whether I am honest or not. ”

Wu Chuan Xingying said: "This is true under the normal operation of the country, but your country is now facing a great crisis, the slightest carelessness of the reform party in the south will rise up to rebel, as long as the water transportation is cut off, the military salary of your imperial court will be reduced, the adults do not have enough military salary endorsement, how to ensure that the stability of Jiujiang can be maintained!" I'm afraid that if the Reform Party is not in chaos, the adults' Jiujiang Army will be in chaos. ”

Chang Zhenbang said coldly: "How to deal with the relationship between military salaries and the army, this is my country's internal affairs, Wu Chuanjun, your hand is stretched too long, it's not good!" ”

"Your country's internal affairs naturally dare not interfere, but out of brotherhood and friendship, I think Zhen Bangjun should be prepared, what do you think?" Takekawa Yukiei said undauntedly.

Chang Zhenbang said: "I understand Wu Chuanjun's kindness, as long as your country does not support Sun Monkey's rebellion, this East Asia can be at least half less turbulent." I'm right. ”

Yukio Takekawa said: "Brother Zhenbang can't say that, I, the Great Dongying Empire, support the common prosperity and rejuvenation of East Asia, and support democracy and freedom in East Asia as a whole. ”

Takekawa Yukiei said: "Yukio is right, our empire is the beacon of the entire East Asian civilization, and the hope of the entire East Asian yellow race. Because it's a responsibility. This is something that the keeper should understand. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Okay, it's not early, I'm leaving." After speaking, he stood up to leave, and Zhang Youneng also stood up, and couldn't help but whisper: "What about the song and dance?" What a disappointment! ”

Yukio Takekawa wanted to stand up and stop him, but he was stopped by Yukiei Takekawa, and he wanted to resist but was glanced at by Yukio Takekawa, and suddenly wilted, and sat back honestly.

Zhang Xiaoliu just pushed open the door, but found that there was a beautiful woman in dress standing quietly outside the door, her eyes were red, as if tears flowed, when she saw Chang Zhenbang come out, she bowed deeply and said softly: "Zhenbangjun hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

When Chang Zhenbang saw her, he was so taken that he couldn't help but take three or four steps back, his face was a little pale, he grabbed Zhang Xiaoliu, who wanted to support him, and said, "Sakura, ah no, Miss Wuchuan hasn't seen you for a long time!" ”

"I don't know if the food I cook is still to your taste, if there is any inconvenience, please forgive me." Sakurako Takekawa said calmly, her face full of faint joy.

Chang Zhenbang felt a pain in his heart for no reason, and said: "Today I am very fortunate to be able to eat the food made by Miss Wuchuan again, Zhenbang really thought that he had returned to the time when you and I were accompanied by Dongying Ueno." It was the happiest time of my life. ”

Sakurako Wuchuan smiled back and said, "At that time, Zhenbangjun's heroic figure will still appear in front of my eyes, and Zhenbangjun can abandon his pen and serve the country, it's good." ”

"Sister, Zhenbangjun is leaving!" In the single room, Takekawa Yukiei said gloomily.

Wuchuan Sakurako said: "Zhenbangjun, I wish you a long time in martial arts!" After saying that, he bowed deeply.

Chang Zhenbang laughed, his heart was really sour and bitter, but at this time he could only laugh, he said: "I heard that Miss Sakurako is going back to Tokyo tomorrow." ”

Sakurako Takekawa said: "Yes, the ship will be at half past eight tomorrow morning, and after arriving in Shanghai, I will change ships and go to Tokyo." Tomorrow...... Tomorrow, if Zhenbangjun is free, come and see me off! ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "As long as you are willing to let me send it, I will be free at any time." ”

At this time, Wu Chuan Yukio suddenly ran out, took Chang Zhenbang's hand, and said, "Brother Zhenbang, if you are not in a hurry to leave, you might as well stay and talk to my sister a few more words." Anyway, you haven't seen each other for so many years, and you can't forget each other, so it's better to have a good chat while you have time with each other. Anyway, it's a steamer at half past eight tomorrow. ”

"Good (bad)!" Chang Zhenbang and Sakurako Wuchuan said in unison.

"Not good (good)!" The two looked at their watches embarrassedly, and the other said again.

"You see you all have thoughts, why don't you talk about it?" Yukio Takekawa said.

Chang Zhenbang glanced at him and said, "Thank you Xingxiong, it's just that it's not early, and Sister Xiaozhu is still waiting for me." As he spoke, he bowed lightly to Sakurako Takekawa and said, "Miss Sakurako, goodbye." I wish you happiness and happiness forever. Saying that he was busy standing up, he hurriedly pulled Zhang Xiaofei away, Zhang Youneng saw that he had left himself down, and hurriedly chased him out.

Wuchuan Sakurako looked at Chang Zhenbang's flustered back, bowed respectfully, and said, "Zhenbangjun, I wish you prosperity in martial arts!" After saying that, tears flowed down their eyes.

Wu Chuan Xingying couldn't understand what was going on with these two people at all, anyone could see that these two people were in love with each other very hard, why did they take the initiative to miss each other? If it were him, he would take the hand of his beloved woman and take her away from the world, even if he fell from a rich son to a ronin, what was the big deal?

The next day, the first rays of sunlight from Jiujiang pierced through the hazy sky, tore through the heavy clouds, and penetrated the window of the town guard's office, almost blinding Chang Zhenbang's eyes.

After he came back last night, he didn't go to Chen Die's place or Lu Xiaozhu's place, but locked himself in this office, watching the stars in the sky come out little by little and disperse little by little, and wait until a dark night sky gradually expands and explodes like an eggplant into the morning light. He just stood outside the window, standing.

While standing, he thought a lot, all about the good memories of the past, but these good memories are all in the background of Dongying, and there is a beautiful woman like flowers in the background.

This woman is Sakurako Takekawa.

The first time I saw her in the park of Ueno, that day, the wind blew the cherry blossoms on the trees all over the sky, she walked through the sea of flowers like a fresh and refined fairy, completely detached from this earthly world, from the first time I saw this girl, Chang Zhenbang knew that he was finished, destined to sink in this woman, the two of them passed by, her smile was as clear as a knife carved in the stone in her mind, never forgotten, let alone disappear, always thought that time could smooth everything, It was indeed like this when she didn't appear, who knew that as soon as she appeared, everything that had been erased by time became extraordinarily clear, and even the expression and tone that she hadn't paid attention to at the time now appeared in front of her one by one very clearly. Is this what it's called love?

Knock knock!

There was a sudden knock on the door, which made Chang Zhenbang, who had not slept all night, inevitably a little upset, and said, "Who! ”

"Official, I'm bringing you breakfast." Lu Xiaozhu's soft voice came from outside the door.

"Xiaozhu!" When Chang Zhenbang heard that it was Lu Xiaozhu, he wanted to walk over and open the door, but stopped before his hand touched the door, and said, "Xiaozhu, put it at the door, and after I finish processing these documents, I will go to eat." ”

Lu Xiaozhu said: "Xiaozhu knows that national affairs are very important, but the body of officials is also very important. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Thank you for your concern, did you say hello to my father?" ”

Lu Xiaozhu said: "I've already said hello, my father is talking to Uncle Feng, and the food has been delivered, I'll go to my little sister later, talk to her, and go shopping." ”

Chang Zhenbang sighed and said, "I've wronged you, when I'm done with this while, I want to compensate Mrs. Compensation." You go first! Have fun with Fluttershy, and you need to make yourself happy. ”

"Thank you, officer." Lu Xiaozhu said happily: "If Xiaozhu is unhappy, how can she make her little sister happy?" You always think I'm a child, it's not good, what should I do when I have a child? ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Then I don't have two babies, you are my big treasure, and the child is my little treasure." The words were cheerful, but they could not hide the exhaustion.

"I know you're good to people, but you can't always pull it like this, which makes people laugh too much." After speaking, Chang Zhenbang heard a trivial footstep outside the door, thinking that Lu Xiaozhu had left, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. Rubbing his somewhat dry and boring eyes, he turned around and took out the pocket watch from the table, only to find that time passed not slowly, and it was already more than six o'clock in a blink of an eye, he couldn't help frowning, snorted, turned around and opened the door, only to find Lu Xiaozhu standing at the door stupidly with breakfast.

"If you get up in the morning and eat cold, it's easy to spoil your stomach, so I want to warm it up first. Why are you going to get out? Lu Xiaozhu said a little embarrassed like a child who had eaten candy.

Chang Zhenbang reluctantly squeezed out a smile from his face and said, "I have something to do, I have to wait for another meal, daughter-in-law don't worry about me." ”

Lu Xiaozhu said distressedly: "You look like you are staying up all night now, you are such a big person, why don't you care about yourself at all." Take it. As he spoke, he handed the tray containing breakfast to Chang Zhenbang's hand, and said in an undoubted tone: "Eat, if you don't eat, you don't want to go there today!" At the same time, he turned back to Ma Ben and resolutely ordered: "Go and get a basin to wash your face, and I will wait for the adults to freshen up." When Ma Ben heard this, he immediately went down and prepared to go.

Chang Zhenbang smiled bitterly: "Xiaozhu, it's really too late, can I eat in the car?" ”

Lu Xiaozhu glanced at her, and shook out the aura of Miss Lu, who had been hidden since she got married, and said, "No, unless you let me follow you to the car!" ”

Chang Zhenbang sighed and said, "Really? I really have something to do."

"No way!" Lu Xiaozhu said: "No matter how important things are, they can't compare to you!" Chang Zhenbang had no choice but to drag the plate with one hand, and pour the porridge and rice into his throat with the other, and then threw two or three of the roasted wheat into his mouth, chewed it heavily, and then took a big breath and said, "How is it?" That's it! ”

Lu Xiaozhu took out a handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth, at this time Ma Ben had already sent the washing water, Lu Xiaozhu reached out and touched the water in the basin, it felt not hot but not cold, so he pulled Chang Zhenbang to the washbasin with a helpless face, and said, "Good, let me wash your face!" I'm going out to play after washing my face! ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled bitterly: "The official is a dignified envoy, why did you become a playful child in your eyes." ”

Lu Xiaozhu stretched out his hand and gently sprinkled a hand of water on Chang Zhenbang's face, and said with a smile: "Because you are my big treasure." ”

Ma Ben, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but giggle when he saw the two of them, Chang Zhenbang glared at him, and Ma Ben hurriedly couldn't help laughing.

After Lu Xiaozhu wiped the sweat off his face, he straightened his clothes for him, and said with concern: "Go, when you are in the car, you can sleep for a while." ”

Chang Zhenbang said that he knew, took Zhang Xiaofei with him, hurried downstairs, got into the prepared carriage and rushed to Jiujiang Wharf.

The whip rained down, and the severe pain exerted the horse's physical strength to the limit, but even such a hurry could not relieve the anxiety in Chang Zhenbang's heart, he really wanted to grow a pair of wings, and flew to Wuchuan Sakurako's side with a whoosh.
