0029 Wu Family Opera Troupe
Xuan Yuemeng replied softly, "What is this?" This is a foreign gun!? More than two hundred and two, how is this person? Can you tell it at a glance? Let's see, do you understand? If you don't have a good mind, or you're too stupid, you can't reuse it. ”
Xuan Dali sighed, his heart was like eating honey, the young master values me very much, but he is a little jealous of Dazhi, Dali feels that he has given the young master the most power, and Dazhi has almost done nothing, and he can actually get a gun.
Xuan Yuemeng looked at these foreign guns that she had bought at a great price, and secretly said that no matter what kind of business, there is no military business to do, and the cost of these short guns should be less than three taels of silver, but they can be sold for more than two hundred taels of silver, which is nearly a hundred times the profit! Science and technology is the primary productive force, this sentence is indeed a wise saying!
Xuan Yuemeng dreams of becoming an arms dealer one day.
Dazhi held the gun in his hand and played with it, "Young Master, let's go to a secluded place another day and give it a try, shall we?" When I was in the last lesson plan, I saw foreign devils shooting, and it was amazing. ”
Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "Yes, everyone has an army, in addition to this short gun, everyone is also equipped with rifles and cannons, and we are all bows and arrows, spears, and earth cannons, and we can't get close to other people's bodies at all." ”
Xuan Dali: "Yes, young master, it would be nice if we could have an army all equipped with this kind of thing." I heard that in the early years, when foreign devils burned the capital, a few thousand people could take down our 100,000 army of the Qing Dynasty. ”
Xuan Yuemeng glanced at Dali in surprise, he didn't look at the wrong person, Dali is indeed a person who can think very forward, this is born in Tianjin, if Dali was born a few years earlier and was born in the south, he would definitely go to participate in the Taiping Rebellion. And because he was born in a family where life is still passable, otherwise with a strong personality, he would definitely be a bandit, but Xuan Yuemeng likes people like Dali, and if his subordinates are too honest, it will not work.
Xuan Dazhi: "Young master, this gun is quite heavy, it has to be more than three catties, can you move it?" ”
Xuan Yuemeng: "Who told you that I took it?" I practiced with the fourth grandmother, and when the fourth grandmother practiced, I would teach Xiaohua. ”
Xu Xiangzhi coughed and almost choked, "What am I doing practicing shooting?" It's just nonsense, I don't have time to practice. ”
Xuan Yuemeng: "Of course you have to practice, you have to practice well, when I go out in the future, you have to go out with you, practice marksmanship, I don't have to worry about your danger, you can not only protect yourself, but also protect me, how can I say now that I am also worth 100,000 taels of silver, maybe there are already bandits or underworld on the street staring at me and planning to kidnap the ticket." ”
Xu Xiangzhi's heart warmed when she heard this, she didn't expect that such a small person as Xuan Yuemeng cared about herself so much, and she always complained that Xuan Yuemeng was not as close to her as she was to Xuan Huang, thinking that she could protect Yuemeng, so she reversed her mind, "Okay, I'll practice." ”
Xuan Yuemeng smiled with satisfaction, "Dazhi, you keep these three guns, Dazhi, Da Niu, you two plus Da Niu, you are a small team, Da Zhi is the squad leader, let Da Zhi send the gun Da Zhi again, when it's okay, all the guns and ammunition are kept by Da Zhi, Da Zhi, guns and bullets are all put away!" Everyone remembers that it is a sin to hide all the guns until it is absolutely necessary, not to be seen by anyone other than those designated by me, and never to say that it is a crime to keep weapons in secret. ”
Although there was Timothy Lee's foreign firm as a backer and a few short guns, there was no problem in Xuan Yuemeng's opinion, but he still cautiously told everyone.
Xuan Dali is sour, I didn't expect the young master to let Dazhi be his head, although Dazhi is a brother, but Dali is not convinced by Xuan Dazhi.
Xuan Yuemeng saw Xuan Dali's sour expression in his eyes, got up with a smile, and asked Xuan Dazhi and Xuan Dali to try to disassemble the gun and put it on.
The next day, Xuan Yuemeng still got up early, but today there is no need to call Xuan Hongtao, with a strong force and a big cow, first went to Zeng's mansion to borrow more than ten powerful family members, and then took a carriage to the concession to find Timothy Li, all the 100,000 taels of silver tickets were exchanged for silver, and then exchanged for mark, and finally sent back to Zeng's mansion, Zeng's mansion has now become a temporary place for Xuan Yuemeng to store funds, Zeng's housekeeper and account room knew that Xuan Yuemeng was the future uncle's business, and actually opened an additional account for Xuan Yuemeng, opened a cabinet specifically for storing funds for Xuan Yuemeng.
At this time, there was no big bank in the Tianjin Concession, which made Xuan Yuemeng feel very inconvenient, but even if there was a big bank, Xuan Yuemeng would not deposit a large amount of funds in the bank, in fact, the foreigner's bank, he was not very trustworthy.
Zeng Siping had been waiting to play with Xuan Yuemeng, and seeing that Xuan Yuemeng had been talking to the housekeeper and the bookkeeper at home, he was already impatient, "Okay?" It's time to take me out for a carriage ride. ”
Xuan Yuemeng looked at it and saw that it was almost noon, and she was in a very good mood after finishing a big thing, "Let's go out to eat, go to the restaurant!" ”
The housekeeper and the bookkeeper of the Zeng Mansion looked at each other, one of you is only eight or nine months old, and the other is five years old, and you are going to go out to the restaurant? It's like a newlywed.
Zengfu housekeeper: "Young Master Meng, otherwise let's eat here, Miss is not allowed to go out without the permission of the master." ”
Xuan Yuemeng nodded in surprise, then looked at Zeng Siping and said: "Look, this is your father's rule, but it's not that I don't want to take you out, forget it, I'll ask Uncle Ji Ze another day to take you there." ”
Zeng Si flattened a small face and slapped the butler's thigh hard, of course it didn't hurt, but the housekeeper still pretended to be in pain.
Zeng Siping: "Then you are not allowed to leave, you have to stay and play with me!" You eat at my house. ”
Xuan Yuemeng was also easy to talk, accompanied Zeng Siping to eat, and then played with Siping for a while, until Zeng Siping was tired of taking a nap, he didn't leave.
Xuan Yuemeng rushed to the overpass with a strong force and a big cow non-stop, Xuan Yuemeng is ready to buy more house slaves and cultivate his own small team, and the next thing to do needs manpower, Xuan Yuemeng is not afraid of many people, and the small courtyard where the big house lived a while ago is now under the control of the big house, and there is nowhere to place people.
Da Niu can't catch the car yet, he spent a night at Xuan's house, he ate well and slept well, and he has already cleaned up the appearance of a normal young man, Xuan Yuemeng is still quite satisfied with the first house slave he bought.
Most of the feudal system is dross, but there are also a small part that is very conducive to the development of power, such as this kind of domestic slavery system that has not completely taken off the remnants of slavery society, the Han people are better here, the Manchu aristocracy, which family is not a large group of people, if you don't take off the lowly status, you will have to be controlled by the master's family for the rest of your life.
Xuan Yuemeng lay down in the luxury carriage, the soft sofa chair, the carriage also has a shock absorber, and it is very comfortable to shake and shake.
Looking out of the car window, this beautiful ancient scenery in modern times, Xuan Yuemeng's mood is very good, just with so many Qing Dynasty scenery seen every day, which modern tourist attraction can do it, even if it can be done, can you make an antique street, can you make it so big? Can you find tens of thousands of performances on this street? Although he is still a child now, but his autonomy is getting higher and higher, Xuan Zonglu doesn't care about him, he is even happier, he has already thought about it, hurry up and make a good living environment, when the time comes, the four rooms will be divided first, and Lao Tzu will move to the concession to live, in this way, the law of your Qing Kingdom will take me no longer, Xuan Yuemeng doesn't want to be angry with that kind of feudal family anymore.
"Young master, look."
Xuan Dali suddenly stopped the car, knocked on the window, and said to the cute young master who was sitting in the carriage, squinting comfortably, and seemed to be asleep.
Xuan Yuemeng opened his eyes in a daze, only to see a fire in the distance, it seemed that there was an alley, the entire alley was burned, the buildings of this era were all wooden structures, once the fire broke out, it was a very troublesome thing, and countless people were fighting the fire. However, it is still difficult to stop the fire, and it can only prevent the fire from spreading to other alleys.
Xuan Yuemeng: "Isn't it okay in the morning?" Why is there a fire here? ”
Xuan Dali had already gotten out of the car, "Young master, go back, it's a mess." ”
Xuan Yuemeng wanted to go back, but after thinking about it, maybe this was an opportunity? He is actually not very satisfied with finding those who are forced to sell themselves, because many of these people are adults, maybe they have been mixed on the street for a long time, and some of them are specially looking for opportunities by mixing with rich people, so he only found a big cow yesterday, and it is not easy to find a good house slave with a clean net.
Xuan Yuemeng: "Do you know who lives in this alley?" Are they poor, or rich, or middle-class? How could a fire start so big in broad daylight? Aren't all the people in this alley going to be homeless? And in broad daylight, how could the fire not be controlled? ”
Xuan Dali: "It should be a place where poor people live together, there are many sheds, so if it burns, the fire is difficult to control, and I can't figure out why it catches fire in the daytime, and the fire usually starts at night." By the way, this alley is the Wu family class, which is where the troupe we invited two days ago lived, I have been here, the troupe is a grass stage troupe, and there is no theater of its own, so I live by singing to people everywhere. ”
Xuan Yuemeng nodded in surprise, in fact, when he first asked, he already vaguely felt that something was wrong, he was a person who loves to analyze things, he had long thought that Zhilin's group might go to this troupe, but he didn't have any strength, and he couldn't manage this matter, so he never asked again, and now when he heard Xuan Dali say this to himself, he suddenly understood everything, no need to ask, it must be Zhilin who found someone to do this, and his grandmother actually started with a group of poor singers, It's the son of the Minister of Military Aircraft, and it's really not human,!
Xuan Yuemeng: "Lean over and take a look!" ”
After listening to Young Master Meng's instructions, Xuan Dali hesitated a little, which made Xuan Yuemeng very unhappy, "What? You didn't hear me speak? ”
Xuan Dali hurried: "Yes." ”
The luxury carriage drove through a street again, and it was already very close to the alley where the fire started, the street was full of people, the crying was shocking, and it made people feel goosebumps when they heard it, Xuan Yuemeng was actually very guilty in her heart, if it was because of her own reasons, so many people were involved, she had indeed created a big sin!
Many people were crying and had no strength, looking at the alley that was about to burn into ruins, staring in despair, dragging their children and daughters to sit on the side of the road.
Xuan Yuemeng's eyes were sharp, and she saw a bunch of people at a glance, it was the troupe led by Wu Laosan-Wu Jiaban.
Xuan Yuemeng hurriedly whispered to Dali, nodded vigorously and left.
Wu Laosan immediately followed the vigorous coming, approached the carriage, and shouted at Xuan Yuemeng in the car: "You still dare to look for me?" My family that you killed this time is ruined! I'm fighting with you! ”
Xuan Yuemeng was sweating profusely, fortunately in the carriage, so frightened that his hips hurriedly moved back, "Uncle Wu, don't be excited, I just came over just now, you don't have anything to do with me, right?" What the hell is going on? I'll do my best to help you! ”
Wu Laosan looked at Xuan Yuemeng, a little big person, although there was nowhere to vent his resentment, but in the face of such a cute child, he really couldn't afford it, and slapped himself on the head, "Do you still need to ask?" Who am I not usually afraid of? Our Wu family's class mainly takes over the business of a rich family like you, don't you dare to offend any family, who will attack a poor drama team like us? ”
Xuan Yuemeng nodded, seeing that Wu Laosan was still calm, and had no intention of continuing to look for himself desperately, he hurriedly opened the car door, "Uncle Wu, come up and talk, won't it be a peer?" Or maybe it's not for you? Is it burning other people's homes and causing you to be affected? ”
