Chapter 400: Ah Jiu (II)
"Sluggish water...... That's a joke, don't take it seriously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Boss Shen, don't tell jokes." Lao Jiu trembled and said, "What he said and did it." Among our little sisters, several of them were disfigured by him because they offended him. Besides, I don't want to implicate the second young master, Ah Jiu lit a big candle, and the first man he served was him. He liked me, I liked him, and he promised to marry me. As long as I do it for three years, I can redeem myself, and then the second young master can marry me, and our good days are ahead, please have mercy on me, don't leave, as soon as you leave, my good days will be gone. ”
After all, she is young and shallow, and she can't be compared with people like Pinxiang Laosi, and she has handed over all the details. Zhao Guanhou doesn't mind acting on the spot, and he won't dislike her for not being finished. But this is obviously a difficult thing for a strong man, so he felt bored, and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, otherwise, I will go out and talk to Boss Shen, and I will say that I don't like you." ”
"Don't want it!" Ah Jiu threw himself into his arms this time, hugging Zhao Guanhou tightly, "Boss Shen is shrewd, as soon as you say it, he will know that I am doing it." When the time comes, you still can't spare me, this kind of thing, the women in our line can't run away, I accept my fate. I just ask the adults to have some mercy, and I will be grateful if I can say a few good words to Boss Shen tomorrow. ”
Zhao Guanhou sighed helplessly, "Okay, I didn't expect that things would come to this point, you let go first, I'll hang up the phone at home." ”
Lao Jiu let out a long breath and kissed him on the face again, making sure that his lip print fell on Zhao Guanhou's face before letting him go out. When they came to the outer room, Shen Baosheng and the others looked at the lip prints on his face, and they all laughed, Shen Baosheng said: "Senior brother, tonight, you have to come up with a good means to make this little lady skin fall to the ground tomorrow, and see what kind of virtue Chen Baiou has when the time comes." ”
When I got back into the room, the lights were turned off, and only a small desk lamp was turned on. Ah Jiu had already taken off his coat and was sitting on the edge of the bed in a Western-style pajamas. Seeing him come back, he bowed his head and said, "My lord, Ah Jiu will help you undress and wait for you to rest." ”
Zhao Guanhou only sat beside her and didn't let her do it, "I can't compare to Yanagi Hui, if I really take off my clothes and sleep with you, I may turn the dry bunk into a wet bunk." Let's just sit together and talk, deal with the past for one night, and tomorrow we will not only hide from Boss Shen, but also call your Second Young Master Chen, not everyone will be happy. ”
Ah Jiu didn't want this result, and said with great joy, "Really? Your Excellency, Your ...... Would you really like to borrow a dry bunk overnight and do nothing? If this is the case, Ah Jiu is willing to offer you an immortal position, and kowtow to you every day in the future. ”
"Then I don't need to, I just don't want to make everyone unhappy, and I don't want to kill anyone. It's not fun for us to just sit, you tell me about yourself. I want to hear what you are like and what Matsue is like now. ”
Ah Jiu saw that the tiger was out of danger, and his heart was very quiet, and he also thanked Zhao Guanhou for his kindness in preserving his chastity, and whispered about his family.
She is a Mudu person, and there is an older sister named Qiaoyun in the family, who has a difficult livelihood, so she can only sell herself in order to make a living, and then she heard that she went to the north, and then there was no news. Her parents were hardworking and the harvest in the south was good, but life was getting harder. Obviously, there is more food, but there is less income. In the end, in order to make a living, she had to sell herself into the Ji Yuan.
is different from Pinxiang Laosi, although Ah Jiu is very smart, and he can learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he is like a blank sheet of paper, and he doesn't understand the sinister hearts of people, otherwise he wouldn't have made himself what he is today. She was originally just like a puppet, letting others manipulate her life, and she did what she wanted, until she met Chen Baiou, everything changed.
Chen Baiou was her first guest, but on the first night of the two, they didn't do anything. Just like her and Zhao Guanhou, Chen Baiou also accompanied her all night. Listening to her about her experience, she told her a lot of things, from the principles of being a human being to learning. For Ah Jiu, Second Young Master Chen is like an omniscient immortal who teaches himself a lot of things. From foreign literature to foreign music, and then to the truth of life.
For example, all people are created equal, self-reliant, and people's livelihood and civil rights...... Ah Jiu has always boasted of being smart, until he met Chen Baiou, but he found that he had become that country girl again, and he didn't understand anything. When she handed herself over to Chen Baiou, she didn't think it was a transaction, but thought that it was a natural stage of love between men and women, and she was willing to live with him and be a family.
After that night, the two made a vow to grow old together, although Chen Baiou had a wife, but she knew that he did not love his wife. He said that it was an arranged marriage, and there was no emotional basis. His favorite is always Lao Jiu.
For Chen Baiou, she didn't keep guests, and she shouldn't even be in the bureau, of course, with the large amount of silver provided by the Chen family, the bustard mother of Qinglian Pavilion was not easy to urge too much, so she had to go. A sister saw that she was young and simple, and she was willing to support her, and she didn't really suffer a loss, until today, .......
Zhao Guanhou suddenly asked, "Do you have a sister named Qiaoyun?" How old is she? ”
"Why, adults know my sister?" Ah Jiu was overjoyed, she didn't have many relatives in the world, and it would undoubtedly be an exciting thing if she could find her sister.
"I'm not sure, but I have a staff member who knows him well in Mukden...... You know, it's similar to the relationship between you and Second Young Master Chen, that girl is called Qiaoyun. I don't know, it's your sister. ”
"And where is she, can we meet?"
"Besides, this matter is in a hurry, and no one is in Songjiang, when there is a chance in the future, you and the second young master will go to Shandong together, and I will take you to meet."
Ah Jiu's mood was a little low: "If you want to go to Shandong, it will take two years." I made an appointment with the bustard's mother, and I worked for her for three years, and then she allowed me to redeem myself and let me and Baiou go to work and live. ”
At this time, Zhao Guanhou already had an idea in his heart, matching Ah Jiu with his master Xia Manjiang, but said in his mouth: "Second young master's family, do you support your affairs?" ”
"Don't support it. Mr. Chen doesn't like me, but it doesn't matter, we can rent a small house outside and live together quietly. Wait until it's been a long time, there's always a way. Ah Jiu is very optimistic about the future, "I have five shares of Lange Zhi in my hand, which were given to me by the second young master." Now, if you sell it, you can make a few thousand pieces of silver. But I don't sell it, I'm going to wait for it to rise and rise, and when it rises to more than 1,000 taels, I can sell it, and I can make more than 1,000 taels, and when the time comes, we can live the life we want to live with Baiou, without looking at Master Chen's face. ”
Zhao Guanhou asked: "Among your sisters, there are a lot of stocks?" ”
"That's a lot, the fourth sister and the sixth sister all took out their own money to buy stocks, and what they didn't buy at this time was a foreign market." Ah Jiu suddenly paused, and after a while, he said shyly, "My lord...... You...... You're a good guy. If you don't touch me tonight, I'll give you all my stocks, and then help you get in touch, let Baiou help you get in touch, and sell you 100 shares of eraser to repay you. ”
Zhao Guanhou did not answer, but thought about what he saw and heard, as Jensen said, this city has gone crazy, everyone has invested money in the stock market, everyone has joined forces, and they are weaving a dream of rising stocks and getting gold from the ground, but they don't know that the dream will wake up sooner or later.
In the second half of the night, Zhao Guanhou lay on the bed and fell asleep, but Ah Jiu slept in the same bed with a man other than Chen Baiou for the first time, and he was extremely nervous. I didn't dare to move, I was afraid of waking up the man, I broke my word and got fat, and I couldn't sleep, and the night was extremely hard. The next morning, with a pair of dark circles under her eyes, because her body was stiff and it was inconvenient to walk, she made Shen Baosheng and Fu Minglou laugh, only when she was tossed all night and couldn't sleep.
Only Pinxiang Laosi, who cleaned up the bed, found the clue, but she naturally didn't say anything, but quietly said to Zhao Guanhou, "Little junior brother, thank you for the ninth sister of my generation, and finally complete a marriage in Yi." ”
Ah Jiu was called a car and sent back to Qinglian Pavilion, where breakfast was served, Cao Zhongying and Lao Liu also said goodbye and left early, and only Shen Baosheng and Zhao Guanhou were left in the room. Shen Baosheng smiled, "Senior brother, the taste of Lao Jiu, is it okay?" ”
"The name of Songjiang is naturally extraordinary, thank you brother for your love and gift this stunner."
"It's nothing, it's nothing, little things. If you like it, go back and let you take her to Suzhou and Hangzhou to play, and let Chen Baiou go in a hurry. What's more, if you dare not give Lao Tzu face, Lao Tzu will lose his face and make him a turtle. Forget it, don't mention him, there is a business that needs to use the relationship of the concession. The elder brother was a good friend of Mrs. Jenson...... Haha, can you make it easier for you? ”
"Business, what business?"
Shen Baosheng stretched out his thumb and index finger and gestured, "This." An offspring boy from the gang came to me and asked me to help buy 1,000 foreign guns and 100,000 rounds of medicine. You also know that in the past two years, Ge Ming's party has been fierce, and the imperial court has strict arms control, although Songjiang guards the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, it is not easy to buy so many new guns. If you want to make a business, you can't get around the concession in the end. However, the imperial court sent a note to the concession, and the government of their own country also issued an order to foreign merchants not to sell arms to the Jin country. So this business is very difficult to do, if the elder brother can help and dredge up, not to mention the benefits there, the elder brother also has a heart here. ”
Zhao Guanhou's fingers tapped on the table, "Senior brother, one or two guns, you can do it immediately." But a thousand guns, what did he buy them for? Even if the Cao Gang robs the dock with others, they won't use so many guns, right? ”
Shen Baosheng smiled, "What are you doing?" This can't be said, in short, that's what happened. Within the Cao Gang, there are three sects and nine streams, and there are people from all walks of life. It is not surprising that there are so many people who want to be the marquis and worship the prime minister and be the founding heroes. These things, tossed by them, what Ge Ming, what royalist, I don't know anything, I only know the appearance of white flowers, everything is fake, only this is true. I can assure you that he definitely didn't go to Shandong to make trouble, brother, you just have to rest assured. As for other places, what does it have to do with you? ”
"Brother Senior's words are good, and they are right to my appetite. The younger brother also thinks that the most real thing in the world is ocean money. So that's what you say, does the other party have foreign money to pay? If you can pay for it, even if you buy a foreign gun and go to Shandong, it doesn't matter. ”
"My juniors always believe it, and besides, among the people he contacts, there are also a few wealthy businessmen, and there is no problem with payment. His deposit is 2,000 yuan, and I have already collected the money, but unfortunately I put it into the stock again, and now I can't withdraw it. Otherwise, I'll give you a deposit. ”
As he spoke, he was about to pick off the thirteen Taibao wrenches in his hand, and Zhao Guanhou hurriedly shook his head, "Senior brother, what are you doing, with your words, it is enough to cover the deposit." If I were in Shandong, I would have run an arsenal, and things would have been very easy to do. In Songjiang, I also have a black eye, so I can only do it slowly. At present, the sword soldiers are initially decided, there is no war in the concession, and a thousand foreign guns is not a small number, and I will be allowed to spend a few days. In another section, if they want foreign guns, I also have a condition, they must be cash in stock, and they will not be in arrears. ”
Shen Baosheng nodded and said: "That's what I said, how can I delay the payment for the head-killing business, I can't even see it next time, I must see the cash for this matter." Brother, you go to dispatch foreign guns, contact me when you have the goods, we will set the price, everything must be fast. ”
He set up this wine party last night, half of it was to thank Zhao Guanhou for his friendship, and the other half was also for this business. It's no wonder why Qinglian Lao Jiu was so angry as soon as he left. The people on the scene, gossip. If you can't get the goods after receiving the deposit, your face will be dull, and you will have a very bad reputation in the rivers and lakes. He took Zhao Guanhou as a life-saving straw, and naturally did not allow Qinglian Lao Jiu to do bad things.
When the business was negotiated, everyone was happy, because Shen Baosheng didn't dare to stay in the office today. But make an appointment with Zhao Guanhou, and the two will meet tomorrow, and then talk about the matter of foreign guns, and completely complete this business.
Coming out of Pinxiang Building, Zhao Guanhou returned to the hotel, and Mrs. Jensen had already gotten up, and the two set off together to go to the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the Public Concession as agreed.
Of the five directors of the Public Concession Bureau, two were Albion and Yankee, and one was a Prussian. In addition, there was also a consul general of Capet who was also present, and the six of them signed together, as the notary public of the peace treaty, if any party did not fulfill the peace agreement, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the concession at that time, and the Ministry of Industry Bureau also had the right to send someone to seal the door or arrest the case.
With the completion of Yankee Consul Benjamin's signature, the whole negotiation is a certainty, and the next step should be to transfer the money to Warby Bank. The funds of Daosheng Bank, including gold bars and silver and foreign currency banknotes, have been prepared sufficiently, and this matter is not difficult, Andreyev sneered: "This money is only temporarily deposited in Warpy Bank, and in a month, I will get it back." I hope that Mrs. Jenson will protect this money, which is at stake in the credibility of your bank. ”
Zhao Guanhou sneered: "Your Excellency, I suggest that you hire a few workers to repaint the building, it is too dirty." I can pay the salary, within this month, please be sure to ensure the environment and decoration of the building, and after a month, I will hold a plaque ceremony there, and then please come and be a spectator.
