Seeing that the Hu Mansion has really been built, Yan Shizhang, Miao Quansun, and Gu Jiaxiang ...... A swarm of bees squeezed to the East Auxiliary Pavilion first, first to see what level everyone's office is, they can't afford to build such a house in their lives, they can use it when they are alive, that's okay.

Everyone was so unhappy that Wu Shuzhen was also happy.

She did not go to Yanjing, and returned to Shanghai from Tianjin very early to run the business of jewelry stores and Jetta foreign companies.

Hu Chuyuan was playing with ornaments and antiques in his new study, and when he heard that she was downstairs, he quietly ran behind the door, and as soon as Wu Shuzhen entered the door, he suddenly jumped out and screamed, which frightened Wu Shuzhen.

Wu Shuzhen was angry and angry, but joked: "You are also a billionaire, you are actually like a child, it's really ...... It's so boring! ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled, beckoned her to sit down first, and sat on the extremely luxurious chair himself, and after feeling it, he said: "This is life!" ”

Wu Shuzhen smiled and said, "Anyway, what you have now is money, you can spend it as much as you want." ”

Hu Chuyuan said seriously: "That's not good, I really want to buy the Louvre, but unfortunately, people don't sell it." ”

"This ......!"

Wu Shuzhen was speechless for a while, she had seen an outbreak, but she had never seen such an outbreak, she sighed, but then smiled again: "Hey, I'll tell you a special good news, there is a gold boss who bought a big ring in our jewelry store, specially customized, platinum ring, not only inlaid with the largest diamond in our store, but also inlaid with four small diamonds on both sides, really beautiful...... But, hehe, the price is not low...... No, it's a very expensive price, I earned this ticket, it's basically worth eating for a year. ”

Hu Chuyuan asked puzzledly: "Who is so stupid, don't you know that the profit margin of the jewelry store is the highest?" ”

Wu Shuzhen giggled and said, "Please, people sent you money, what are you polite, I'm still polite, I only accepted him 200,000 yuan." If this is in other foreign firms, he will have to charge him 230,000 yuan. ”

Hu Chuyuan thought about it, slowly took out a purple-red jewelry box from his pocket, opened it, and asked with a wicked smile: "Is this one you are talking about?" ”

"Hey, why are you here?"

Wu Shuzhen couldn't figure it out, she was strange, if Hu Chuyuan wanted to buy a ring, he would just tell her about it, and he wouldn't be slaughtered by her, but he would be slaughtered for at least sixty or seventy thousand yuan.

"Ah......h

She was a little frightened to come up with something, covering her lips in surprise and joy, as if she was scared and happy.

Hu Chuyuan took out the ring very annoyingly, played with it in his hand, and muttered quietly: "Do you send it back to the store and continue to sell it, or you still have to keep it by your side, or who else will you give it to...... What about marrying a wife? ”

Wu Shuzhen was happy and angry, and said hatefully: "You guy...... In the end, oops, I don't want it anyway. ”

Hu Chuyuan said with a smile: "Feishui doesn't leave outsiders in the field, you put away the ring first, when do you want to get married...... Remember to call me, and I will send someone to your house at any time to propose relatives. ”

Saying this, he actually threw the ring to Wu Shuzhen as if he was throwing a silver coin.

200,000 yuan, ah......!

Wu Shuzhen's heart was about to rise to her throat, and she flew to catch it, and then complained with hatred: "You guy...... It's so insincere, isn't it? ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled, and after a while, he stood up, walked in front of Wu Shuzhen, and said: "I think these are formalism, not the most important, the important thing is that I like you and want to be with you." If you think so, let's do things more neatly, in fact, think about it, who is not a marriage to marry, and who is not a marriage? ”

Wu Shuzhen burst out laughing and said, "That's not necessarily, I'll find you an old woman, ugly, do you want to marry?" ”

Hu Chuyuan didn't care, and said: "Sami Sami, after forty years, aren't you the old woman, when we get married in gold and silver, I will build a palace for you. ”

Wu Shuzhen couldn't help laughing anymore, and after a while, she glanced at Hu Chuyuan with resentment and said, "I'm embarrassed to refuse what you said...... Fortunately, I have a very thick skin, and the ring belongs to me first. In addition, as for the gift of your proposal, the shares of the jewelry store and Jetta are all owned by me, as for whether to agree to marry you, people have to listen to my father, that ...... Excuse me, just wait for seven or eight years, anyway, my father shouldn't be in a hurry to let me get married......! ”

Laughing and laughing, she ran away.

"This little%...... ￥￥！ ”

Hu Chuyuan was in a hurry, this is too fucking a loss, people didn't cheat, but lost more than one million taels of silver.

He really wanted to find a corner and draw circles.

Really think about it, in fact, how many men and women in this era can be as passionate as they were later, and it has generally developed to a certain extent, and it feels like you can almost propose to other people's parents.

If the parents disagree, then continue to love and prepare to elope.

If someone else's parents agree, the woman will marry half-twisted and half-agreed.

Whether it is an American, a Chinese, or a British, parental consent is still the most important thing at this stage.

Listen to Wu Shuzhen...... Anyway, Hu Chuyuan can ask someone to propose marriage, and if her parents agree, she will not object "too much".

That's what it is, anyway.

Hu Chuyuan thought about it, so he wrote a letter to the eldest lady in the family very carefully, saying that he had taken a fancy to Wu Shuzhen, and if the family did not object, he would ask Zuo Zongtang to protect the media and settle the matter.

After the letter was written, he called Hu Rong, the second housekeeper, and asked him to personally go to Hangzhou to deliver the letter as soon as possible.

When Hu Rong heard that this was the case, he was speechless with joy, he watched Hu Chuyuan be born, this is really fast, it seems that in the blink of an eye, the eldest son of the old man's family is about to get married.

He cried again, saying that it was a pity that the old man did not see this day.

When Hu Rong took the Tengchong and went to Hangzhou first, Hu Chuyuan sighed in his heart, life...... Lord also has this day.

He was thinking about it in his heart, Chen Shanyuan knocked on the door with a strange look and came in, and said, "Boss, there are a few people who want to see you!" ”

"Huh?"

Hu Chuyuan felt strange, didn't he just meet Nakamura and others in Kyoto a few days ago, why did he come to Shanghai to look for him again so soon.

He thought about it for a while, and asked Chen Shanyuan to invite them to the big living room, and he went down with him.

Not everyone can come in Yongyuan, especially after the Tianjin attack, if you are not an acquaintance who has a post, you don't need to talk about it.

When Hu Chuyuan arrived in the living room, those people who said that they were also under the guidance of Chen Shanyuan and walked in all the way.

The lead is none other than Shibusawa Heito.

This person, Hu Chuyuan's impression is still very deep, but behind Shibusawa Heito are three sword-wielding Samurai, wearing black Saimoto kimonos.

At the door of the hall, Chen Shanyuan asked them to hand over the knife first, but they refused to hand it over.

Seeing that there was going to be a dispute, Hu Chuyuan said to Chen Shanyuan very generously: "Forget it, let them in!" ”

Shibusawa Heito raised his hand and signaled that the samurai did not need to come in.

He took a few steps forward, bowed to Hu Chuyuan with a serious expression, and said: "Hello, Mr. Hu, I heard that you have been promoted to the Minister of Fuzhou of your country, and as a member of your country's Zhengsanpin, it is really worth congratulating!" ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled slightly, thanked him, and asked Shibusawa Pingdong to sit down, and then asked, "I didn't expect you to come, I don't know if you have something special?" ”

Shibusawa Pingdong said: "A few days ago, I heard that you were attacked by bandits in the Tianjin Concession and almost died because of it, I don't know if it is true?" ”

Hu Chuyuan said: "It's not that serious, it's just a little bit injured!" ”

Shibusawa Heito tentatively asked, "Have you found out who the murderer is?" ”

Hu Chuyuan did not hide it, and said: "The Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the British Concession is already making every effort to investigate, and the imperial court has also sent people to investigate, as far as we know, the other party may be a group of pirates from Zhejiang, and some are natives of Tianjin, and there is not much progress in other aspects." ”

Shibusawa Heito said with a sigh: "Even you dare to attack, these people are really bold." Mr. Harbour Master, it is imperative that you strengthen your personal guard. ”

Hu Chuyuan didn't know what he meant by always grasping this issue, so he said: "It has been strengthened, and at present, the elite of Xiangyong is in charge of defending, and it should not encounter the previous things again!" Shibusawa Pingdong said: "I personally don't think this is a very appropriate thing, wouldn't it let the imperial court know that your relationship with the Hunan army is extraordinary?" ”

Hu Chuyuan felt more and more strange, and asked very dryly, "Then do you have any suggestions?" ”

Shibusawa Heito smiled and said, "The three samurai I brought this time are all the most well-known swordsmen in this book, if you feel it is necessary, you can hire them to be your personal guards." For their loyalty and swordsmanship, you can rest assured, I think that there is absolutely no such powerful swordsman in your country. ”

That's ......!

Hu Chuyuan felt funny in his heart, and suddenly felt that his attack had something to do with himself.

Zhejiang pirates, in the history of the history of the said that they have completely gotten rid of their involvement, has always been the main force of the so-called Japanese pirates, not to mention anything else, in recent years, with the support and cooperation of the Zhejiang pirates, tried to attack Ningbo, Cixi area.

He laughed and said to Shibusawa Heito: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it, if it's just ......!" ”

Shibusawa Heito suddenly interrupted him and said, "Mr. Hu, if you don't believe in their swordsmanship, you can send your guards and bodyguards to fight them. ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "I don't have any martial arts masters here, only two hundred soldiers, all with guns in their hands." ”

Shibusawa Pingdong frowned slightly, and said: "Mr. Hu, I have another idea when I came this time, now European and American countries are emphasizing the quality of the individual and the quality of the nation, but Asian countries are hesitating. I think that with your appeal in your country, you can change this situation. If you are interested, I would like to hold a Sino-Chinese martial arts exchange competition with you in Shanghai, where each side will send five martial arts masters to win or lose, and awaken the martial spirit of the people of our two countries. ”

At this time, he added: "Although there will inevitably be some friction and misunderstanding in the process of the event, and even misunderstandings between the people of the two countries, it is very beneficial for both of our countries." I think that the best way to strengthen the country is to enable the people to work their own initiative to strengthen their bodies and strengthen their fighting spirit. ”

"So?"

Hu Chuyuan was noncommittal.

Shibusawa Heito is a smart man, what he says is very reasonable, and it is quite tempting.

Yes, whoever wins or loses, in fact, is a winner.

If the Chinese lose, everyone will definitely be very excited, and they will all rise up and study martial arts, and the style of martial arts will be significantly enhanced. But if the Chinese win, it will be a laugh and talk, and they will not care.

If Ben loses, he will also work harder, and it will be like a crazy effort...... Terrible.

If Yuben wins, the result will be even more annoying, the Chinese are working hard, and I am afraid that my self-confidence will be collectively enhanced.

There is no trivial matter between them.

A few dumplings can make a big move, let alone a competition?

After thinking about it, Hu Chuyuan flatly refused and said: "I'm not interested in this, in a few days, I'm going to Fuzhou, where can I have time to do this kind of thing." If you really dare to be interested, just advertise on "Declaration"! ”

Shibusawa Heito said: "I thought it was a win-win situation, and it was best to hold it with a semi-official surname, if it was just for us to organize, it would be more like provoking your country." ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled and didn't say anything more, obviously disagreeing at all.

At this time, one of the three samurai at the door suddenly stepped forward, about thirty-four or five years old, not tall, but unusually strong, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and there was a slender scar on his left cheek, which looked particularly fierce.

He stepped forward, bowed politely, and then said in Chinese, which was quite proficient: "In Shimomatsugawa Takamasa, I heard that the third generation of famous swords, Izumi Mamori Kaneda, is in your mansion, and I have always admired the third generation of Izumi. For you, who have hundreds of millions of family fortunes, this may be just a small thing, but for mere people, this is my lifelong wish. I hope you can succeed, and I am willing to buy this famous knife with all my net worth of 6,400 yuan! ”

Hu Chuyuan sighed, but said very cruelly: "I don't sell it." I heard that the Shibusawa family has more Izumi and Shouding, and the building near the water will get the moon first, so you can buy it with him. ”

Hell, when I'm Sabi?

Hu Chuyuan scolded secretly.

Sure enough, Matsukawa Takamasa's face turned red, and the conspiracy failed to succeed.

He asked for his surname and became angry, and said: "Then, please send someone to fight with me, I am willing to use my surname as a bet in exchange for the three generations of Izumi Shou in your hands!" ”

Oh yes!

Hu Chuyuan never thought that the broken knife would cause so many troubles.

Since he received it, he has thrown it in the warehouse, and he doesn't know where he put it, and he has to ask Hu Rong to find out.

He was feeling embarrassed, and one of the Xiang Yong generals who was standing in the hall and was in charge of protecting him took half a step forward, hugged his fists and said, "Adult, the little one is willing to fight." ”

"Huh?"

Hu Chuyuan couldn't help but be a little curious, and took a closer look at this general, that person was also thirty-four or five years old, his figure was not very burly, but he also had a bit of momentum, and he was born with a decent appearance and a dignified appearance.

Hu Chuyuan thought for a moment and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The general said: "The little Li Cunyi, a native of Shenzhou, has studied art since childhood, and has studied art in Beijing for 15 years, just went to the Liangjiang Yamen camp a few years ago, because there are still some skills, and Lord Zhongtang appreciates it, and stays by his side to be a general manager in the barracks, responsible for teaching martial arts. This errand didn't last long, and Lord Zhongtang asked the little one to follow Xiao Qian to the house to protect you. ”

Li Cunyi?

Hu Chuyuan felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

It was estimated that there would be no fatalities in a fight, so he said, "Okay, then you can fight." ”

Li Cunyi hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, sir!" ”

After saying this, he handed the rifle in his hand to the soldier beside him, and walked up with only a single knife in his hand.

Only then did Hu Chuyuan realize that his saber was different from the normal Xiangyong, the general Green Camp Xiangyong used a lancet, and his knife was like a ring knife that the people were good at.

The hall of the Hu Mansion is very large, and dozens of people are very spacious.

It is estimated that the fight will not be too dramatic, and he can't change places, so Hu Chuyuan will let them and solve it on the spot, no matter whether he wins or loses, it will be convenient for him to send off guests, and he will send these people away first.

Li Cunyi was very direct, he stepped forward with a single knife, hugged his fist with Matsukawa Takamasa, and said: "Xingyi Quan disciple, family teacher Liu Qilan, is polite!" ”

Matsukawa Takamasa also bowed down and said: "Straight Heart Shadow Stream Kendo, family teacher Shenyuan Jianji, please advise!" ”

Scandium!

Hu Chuyuan didn't pay attention to it, the blades of the two touched together, and then they crackled and touched, and after touching for a while, they probably felt that their knives were not as good as their opponents, Li Cunyi was not hard, the knife wind was straight and straight, hard and hard, but the soles of his feet were like stepping on hot wheels, fast and flexible.

He doesn't understand this, Shibusawa Heidong is the East.

After just looking at it for a while, Shibusawa Heito's expression became serious.

As for Hu Chuyuan, he only felt that the two of them were quite dangerous, and the speed was fast, and the blades were dangling around each other, as if they could stab the opponent to death at once, but they couldn't stab them.

In a short interval between moments, Matsukawa Takamasa suddenly snorted, a blood spot had appeared on his chest, and the kimono had been cut into pieces.

Li Cunyi also took four or five steps back, and it turned out that his shoulder was slashed by Matsukawa Takamasa, and his blood was red, but fortunately it was not very deep.

He withdrew and clenched his fists and said, "Brother Tai's handsome knife technique, I'll ask for advice in the future!" ”

Matsukawa Takamasa seemed to be unsatisfied, but he didn't kill again, and Masashi bowed and quietly retreated.

All right.

It's finally time to send off guests.

Hu Chuyuan was so impatient, he was annoyed when he saw this, they were polite on the surface, but what they hid were all kinds of small abacus...... What's the point, the mind is in the wrong place!

Hu Chuyuan stood up unceremoniously and said to Shibusawa Pingdong: "I have some urgent matters to deal with, if you have other things, you can only wait a few days to come back." ”

Shibusawa Pingdong didn't seem to find a reason to force Hu Chuyuan to hold a martial arts competition with him, so he had no choice but to reluctantly say goodbye and leave.

When these people were gone, Hu Chuyuan couldn't help laughing, and asked Li Cunyi with great concern: "Is your injury serious?" ”

Li Cunyi chuckled disapprovingly, and said, "This little injury doesn't matter, I have my own gold sore medicine, just go back and use a little." However, the knife skills of this widow just now are really good, fortunately, I used to learn the old frame of Miao Dadao with a senior. It was specially used to deal with the Japanese sword technique, and I was lucky to have such a chance of winning. ”

"So......?"

Hu Chuyuan thought to himself, no wonder he would take the initiative to stand up to meet the challenge, it turned out that he came prepared.

However, this person's kung fu is indeed very good!

Hu Chuyuan immediately instructed him: "You can follow me in the future, usually guide me to the nursing homes at home, I will give you sixty yuan every month, the specific amount, we will discuss it later." ”

Li Cunyi said with a smile: "My lord, you don't need to negotiate this amount anymore, it's seven or eight times better than when I was a dart master before, thank you, my lord!" ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled and didn't say anything.

Li Cunyi said again: "My lord, let me say a little more, these widows are not coming in the right way, although they have suffered a small loss from me today, they will definitely come again in the future." The rules on the rivers and lakes are like this, as the so-called Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, especially Matsukawa Takamasa, he will still fight me again sooner or later. ”

Hu Chuyuan asked him, "Then are you sure to win him again?" ”

Li Cunyi pondered for a moment and said: "The skills are about the same, but it's a pity that the knife is not as good as a person, not to mention, I alone can't stop them from fighting." Adults, small ones want to go back to Beijing and invite a few more friends to come and help. ”

Hu Chuyuan said: "Okay, then you can go to Jingshi to make a difference for me, you tell them that if you are willing to be a nurse here with me, the salary is always easy to say." If you don't want to, you can also be a guest in my family, there is always a place to live, and food is also wrapped in my family's account. ”

Li Cunyi thought for a while and said: "My lord, the little one thinks that what he said is right, today's China is full of big cigarettes, and even the children of poor families are self-smoking. You are well-known in China, you might as well raise your arms and set up a sports club to revitalize our Chinese martial arts. ”

Hu Chuyuan couldn't help but hum, he had always had the intention to do this, but he couldn't spare time, and he couldn't find the right person to do it.

Thinking of this, he said to Li Cunyi: "Okay, then you can do it, find some suitable people to discuss it, the problem of funding is not a problem." ”

Li Cunyi was overjoyed and thanked him: "Thank you, adult, let's do it for the small ones." ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled easily and said to him: "You are also a talent, and you also have some ideas and ambitions in your heart. Okay, I'll talk to Lord Zhongtang later, and transfer you to my side. With your talent, only one of you is too wronged, I want to talk to Lord Zhongtang by the way, and promote you to my personal soldier Qianzong, what do you think? ”

Li Cunyi was even more pleasantly surprised, and thanked him again: "Thank you for your appreciation, little one...... His subordinates must repay him with an oath. ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled, and remembered another thing, so he asked him to follow him to the back hall-Rongbao Pavilion, and finally found the three-generation Izumi Kanshoding from inside, and gave the knife to Li Cunyi.
