Chapter Twenty-Eight: Red Makeup
Red makeup is now standing alone in the yard and is a little stunned, is this considered selling himself? But it's okay, at least the young man still looks quite delicate, and he is not a bad person, and the red makeup can't help but start recalling Ye Chen's face.
Hongxiang picked up the fifty taels of silver left by Ye Chen and walked out, and then bought medicine for his mother, as well as a lot of food to eat. Then she secretly hid the rest of the money and didn't tell Qu Lu about herself, she didn't want Qu Lu to know that she got the money for medicine because of this.
Of course, the red makeup also thought about running away at night, anyway, as long as he saved a little bit of silver, he could use it for a long time. But this idea is fleeting, the most hated thing in this life is that people who don't count in their words, and his father deceived his mother's feelings back then, and left his mother alone when his mother was pregnant with him.
In any case, since you promised others, you have to do it. After giving her mother the medicine that night, she freshened up and changed into new clothes that she hadn't worn for a long time. Looking at himself in the water, the red makeup was in a trance for a while, and suddenly he realized that he hadn't worn women's clothes for a long time. Because there is no man in her family, she can only imitate the boy's voice to avoid some things, so only a few neighbors know that she is a girl.
After Ye Chen went home, he found a message in the yard, which read: Come back in three days, Yu De.
"Qian'er, do you remember the words you were taught in Hexian County?" Ye Chen asked.
Zhang Qian nodded and said, "Remember, does my brother still want to teach Qian'er?" ”
Ye Chen said: "Yes, my brother wants to open a restaurant, is it good for Qian'er to help my brother settle accounts in the future." ”
"Can I really help my brother?" Zhang Qian happily ran to Ye Chen's side and asked.
This was the first time Zhang Qian had heard Ye Chen say that she could help him, so she was a little excited, thinking that she was finally not dragging her feet.
"Of course it's true, you have to be careful when the time comes, if you miscalculate, my brother will beat you." Ye Chen said jokingly.
Zhang Qian immediately patted her chest with her hand and said, "Brother, don't worry, Qian'er will work hard, so when will my brother teach Qian'er?" ”
"Tomorrow, I'm tired today, take a good rest and start teaching you tomorrow." Ye Chen said.
"Well, is it okay for that brother to tell me a story, I want to continue listening to the story of the ugly duckling." Zhang Qian began to coquettish again.
Ye Chen touched Zhang Qian's head helplessly and said, "Okay, you go wash up, I'll tell you in a while." ”
Hongmakeup got up early today, and then told her mother that she was going out today, and she put medicine and food next to her and hurried out. It's just that she was afraid that her mother would worry about her, so she waited until she came out and changed into women's clothes in the yard alone.
Qingshui Street is about an hour away from Hongxiang's home, but because of running outside every day, Hongxiang still arrived quickly. She had been here a few times, but she hadn't been to the place Ye Chen said, according to Ye Chen's words, the red makeup began to walk to the left, and sure enough, a courtyard appeared ten minutes later.
"Excuse me, anyone?" Red asked at the door.
Ye Chen, who happened to be eating with Zhang Qian, suddenly heard the sound of red makeup outside, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I'll come right away." ”
Ye Chen opened the door and looked, if he hadn't remembered the sound of red makeup. Ye Chen almost didn't recognize it, yesterday's red makeup face was dirty, and he couldn't see the beauty and ugliness at all. Today, Ye Chen discovered that Hongjiao is definitely a girl whose beauty is not inferior to Zhang Qian in the future.
It's just that the beauty of red makeup and Zhang Qian's beauty do not belong to the same type, Zhang Qian belongs to the type of cute and gentle sister next door. As for the red makeup, it is a bit cold and beautiful, wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and the hair is simply tied up, and the face has not undergone any makeup, but there is a breath in the eyes that no one can enter.
"Have you eaten, come in and have a bite to eat?" Ye Chen closed the courtyard door and said to the red makeup. Red Makeup nodded and said, "I've eaten it, what do you want me to do here." ”
"Wow, the red makeup is so beautiful." Zhang Qian exclaimed, and then stood next to the red makeup and began to compare.
Listening to the tone of the red makeup's speech, Ye Chen was a little embarrassed, it seemed that she also thought that she was plotting against her body, but her words were indeed easy to misunderstand.
"Sit down first, how old are you this year, have you ever read?" Ye Chen asked.
Red makeup was stunned for a moment, and asked if the age was understandable, did this still have to study, although he was puzzled, he said: "I'm ten years old, why is my daughter studying?" ”
After hearing this, Ye Chen shook his head and said, "There is no distinction between men and women in reading, so do you like to learn martial arts?" ”
"Of course I like it, if I know martial arts, others won't dare to bully me and my mother." Red Makeup said.
"Okay, it's decided, you will come here every day in the future to accompany Qian'er to study and learn martial arts. As for your mother, you can take her over after a while, how about you agree? Ye Chen finally said what he thought.
Red makeup is a bit of a brain that can't go around in circles, what is this. Although he is only ten years old, he also knows some things about men and women, and some rich young masters like children like him, not to mention that he also knows that his appearance is also very outstanding, but the result is to let himself study and learn martial arts.
"Is this true?" Red makeup still can't believe it, it's a great thing for her.
Ye Chen affirmed: "It must be true, Qian'er is too boring to be alone, you are also a companion when you come to accompany her." ”
"Wow, brother is so nice. I knew that my brother wouldn't, wouldn't" Zhang Qian suddenly found that sentence was a little embarrassed to say, and continued: "I know that my brother loves Qian'er the most." ”
"Okay, you go to dinner quickly, and you'll have business in a while." After Ye Chen finished speaking, he looked at the red makeup and said, "What, didn't you regret it?" ”
"Ah, no, no, I don't regret it, I want to." Red makeup hurriedly said.
Ye Chen nodded and said, "That's good, you guys wait here, I'll go buy something and come back soon." ”
"Brother" Zhang Qian was a little speechless and stopped. Although she is very happy every day now, she forgets the past, but she is very scared when Ye Chen leaves her for a while.
Ye Chen came back and touched Zhang Qian's head and said, "Qian'er, it's okay." I'll be back soon, and you see that the two people next to me are not, those are the people I told Lord Yu to stay here to protect you in the future, so you can rest assured. ”
Zhang Qian saw that there were indeed two soldiers patrolling nearby outside the courtyard, and nodded: "Okay, brother, come back quickly." ”
Because of the matter in Hexian, Ye Chen deliberately discussed with Yu De this time and wanted to find two people to stay next to his yard, in case he didn't pay attention and had an accident, it would be bad. Yu De immediately agreed, and sent four personal soldiers to guard here in shifts day and night.
Ye Chen is still very satisfied with the fact that Hongjiao can come today, yesterday he left the money without saying a word, and part of the reason why he wanted to test her was also to test her.
Fortunately, the red makeup did not disappoint him, and he still came and left without taking the money and leaving with her mother. If she really wanted to hide, there was nothing she could do. Ye Chen believes that people who can sell themselves in order to treat their mother's illness will not be untrustworthy.
Yesterday, Ye Chen turned around all the nearby places, and found that the most crowded places were various restaurants and some teahouses, as well as some hidden casinos and other places.
Therefore, Ye Chen plans to open a restaurant by himself, making money is on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has his own territory. He plans to wait for the understanding of Zhenyuan Mansion to slowly establish an intelligence force of his own, and now Ye Chen has 100,000 silver taels, and the start-up capital is not a problem at all. The difference is the government, and this will have to be discussed with Yu De in three days.
It is a complete coincidence to let Hongjiao and Zhang Qian learn martial arts together, because he may not be able to accompany Zhang Qian often in the future, so it is best to have someone to accompany her. For now, red makeup is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. is similar in age to Zhang Qian, and she is honest, the key is that her filial piety makes Ye Chen trust her very much.
The martial arts that Ye Chen said were actually what he learned in the army at the beginning, and he didn't need them to go into battle to kill the enemy in the future, but he just hoped that they could have the ability to protect themselves when they were in danger when they were away.
As soon as he walked to the street, Ye Chen saw a place that sold all kinds of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and by the way, he bought a bunch of daily necessities and kept coming out to buy them.
"Qian'er, you have such a good relationship." After Ye Chen left, Red Makeup said with some envy.
Zhang Qian smiled and said, "That's it, my brother is the best to me, if it weren't for my brother, I don't have my now" Zhang Qian began to talk to Hongjiao about her past.
"Really, your brother is a good man." Listening to Zhang Qian's description, Hong's impression of Ye Chen gradually changed a lot, especially knowing that Ye Chen spent all his savings to save Zhang Qian and later did all kinds of things to save Zhang Qian, he couldn't help but think that it would be great if he had such a brother
Zhang Qian looked at the red makeup and lowered her head and didn't speak, and asked, "Sister red makeup, what do you want, Sister red makeup." ”
shouted red makeup several times before he reacted: "It's nothing, Sister Qian'er, I really envy you." ”
"What do you envy, didn't my brother let you join us now, so you can also call him brother in the future, and he will help you with something, my brother has a very good heart" Zhang Qian said.
Hongxiang asked a little unconvinced: "Can I really call Brother Ye Gongzi?" After the red makeup finished speaking, his face turned red, and he really thought about everything, people had helped him so much in vain, and now he seemed to be teaching himself to read and learn martial arts. As a result, I haven't thought about how to repay others, and I still want to
When the two were chatting hotly, Ye Chen pushed the door in and looked at the two people in the courtyard and said, "I bought pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the two of you, from today onwards, you will learn martial arts in the morning and study in the afternoon, and you will not have to worry about the rest." ”
