Chapter 39: Return to Tianjin (Ask for Recommendation)

After the disturbed New Year's Month, all parts of the Ming Dynasty returned to normal life, Wei Zhongxian, Cui Chengxiu and the Hakka were all dead, but on the ninth day of the first month, the corpse was pulled to the mouth of the vegetable market and beheaded again, and the young Son of Heaven relieved the hatred in his heart.

Chen Xin couldn't make up the excitement of these big things, he sent some jewelry to Wang Yuanzheng, and asked for a thousand acres of abandoned land nearby, Wang Yuanzheng was short of silver recently, Chen Xin was undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow, plus Chen Xin fixed purchase in his grain store, he was completely a big customer attitude towards Chen Xin. These abandoned lands cannot be irrigated, and when they are barren for a long time, they are happy to give personal favors. Chen Xin is trying to get some grain.

In February, Liu Minyou was so busy that he did not touch the ground, attending classes, recruiting people, renovating workshops, digging irrigation wells, cultivating wasteland, farm tools, water conservancy, seeds, ploughing cattle, and building new sailors' houses and warehouses in the port.

Chen Xin leisurely took three personal soldiers, and a Tang Zuoxiang, took the fortune boat to Tianjin, Wang Zugui took a group of new sailors, some rusty to operate the fortune boat, most of these people are fishermen in Wendeng County, there are also some people from Chengshanwei and Jinghaiwei, Chen Xin appointed a few sailors on the boat, did not stop in Dengzhou halfway, and went directly to his mother-in-law's house after landing at the small wharf in Tianjin.

Lao Wang saw that it was Chen Xin, and showed a smiling face for the first time, since Chen Xin and Zhao Xiang got married, Mrs. Zhao regained the hope of life, which made Lao Wang feel a lot less guilty. He invited Chen Xin to go in and brought him to Sanjin.

"Chen's bookkeeper, please get up and sit down here. Mrs. Zhang went to call the young lady over. Mrs. Zhao looked at Chen Xin with a kind face, in fact, she was not ten years older than Chen Xin, but her face was old, and her generation was also there.

Chen Xin still had a sense of gratitude to Mrs. Zhao, and sat down under the bow after kowtowing. An An waited for Mrs. Zhao to speak. Zhao Xiang also arrived, and when he entered the door, he saw Chen Xin, his eyes lit up when he saw Chen Xin, and his head turned with Chen Xin as the center of the circle all the way, and finally stood behind Mrs. Zhao and put his hand on Mrs. Zhao's shoulder.

Mrs. Zhao held Zhao Xiang's hand and asked Chen Xin: "Chen's account room has lost weight in the past few months, and it has darkened a little, I heard people say that Weihaiwei is a remote and poor place, is it too hard over there, if you are not used to it, you should go back to Tianjin Wei, and the official of the guard office is not appropriate." ”

Chen Xin retracted his gaze on Zhao Xiang and said respectfully: "Mrs. Xie cares, there is indeed a poor place over there, but there is no shortage of living needs, and it is already a habit. ”

"It's a good place to live, is there a house arranged for you in the bathroom?"

"I have always lived well, but now it is even better, a dungeon has been built, and the younger generation temporarily lives in the barracks, all of which are brick houses."

"Barracks!?" Zhao Xiang exclaimed in surprise, she had the impression that the barracks were only a little better than the shack called Hanako.

Mrs. Zhao also said heartbrokenly: "It's a good thing for a man to have ambitions, but don't be too bitter about yourself." Chen Shufang is a scholar, how can he live with those Qiu Ba. ”

Chen Xin knew that she was worried about Zhao Xiang's hardships after getting married, and explained: "I am already building a residence in Sanjin, facing the sea, spring and spring can be built, and the young lady will come to live in after marriage, and please join my wife to share the family." ”

Zhao Xiang didn't blush anymore, covered her mouth and laughed softly.

Mrs. Zhao patted her hand lightly, she stopped laughing, and then Mrs. Zhao turned her head and said to Chen Xin: "This officer of the guard is just an official figure, if there is really any military disaster, don't steal the limelight, as long as An An is alive, it is better than any wealth and power." ”

Of course, Chen Xin can't say that he has a great cause, and he has responded again and again. promised to be a deserter as soon as there was a fight.

Mrs. Zhao likes Chen Xin to listen to her education the most, Zhao Xiang always talks back to her, without this son-in-law being obedient, looking at Si Swenwen's son-in-law, she is happy in her heart, "How long can Chen Shufang stay in Tianjin this time?" ”

"The juniors are ready to stay longer, firstly, to buy some goods, and secondly, to listen to the teachings of the lady, every time I talk to the wife, the younger generations have gained a lot."

Mrs. Zhao nodded again and again when she heard this, and said to Zhao Xiang with a smile: "Look at Chen Xindu, your mother is right, but you always don't listen." After that, he still repeated the same old tune, "I know what the matter is when I buy goods, Lao Cai can help you, but this person is a little greedy, you can't trust him all." And you can't go on your own. ”

"Yes, the juniors understand, thank you Madame for reminding me, the juniors will not go to sea, so I also want to do some other safe business, I don't know if the dumping shop of Brother Hanyong is still open, I want to ask the shopkeeper about something, because I am not familiar with them, can Mrs. push it."

"That's right, doing a good business is the long-term solution, I'll call Lao Wang to say."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the stone table in the courtyard of Erdao Street, Chen Xin took the newspaper borrowed by Zhou Shifa and looked at it slowly, full of criticism of the eunuchs, he was only interested in one, Zheng Zhilong captured the Zhongzuo Institute in October, and I don't know if Xu Xinsu ran away, there should be news when I went to see Li Guozhu this time.

He didn't live in his mother-in-law's house, he still lived in his own house more comfortably, Chen Xin put down the newspaper and looked at the familiar courtyard, the scenery was still the same, but it was much more deserted, and Nie Hong and the others were clumsily cleaning.

"Shifa, go and call Deng Keshan over, I have something to arrange with him." Deng Keshan is still in the business of selling his wife's clothes, and receives three taels of silver in the clothing store every month, which is half of his employees.

Zhou Shifa took the order to go out, ran over and knocked on Deng Keshan's courtyard door, Deng Keshan appeared in front of him with a blue nose and swollen face, he looked at Zhou Shifa, his mouth was crooked, and he cried: "Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, you are back." ”

Although Zhou Shifa often scolded Deng Keshan, the two grew up together since childhood, and their relationship was actually very deep, and he said angrily at a glance: "Your mother, who did it, take me to him." Wait a minute, Lao Tzu will go back and get the knife. After saying that, he ran back to the yard, Deng Keshan hurriedly grabbed him, and two tears fell, "A few merchants passing by have called, and they can't find anyone." A few people are fierce enough on dog days, and Lao Tzu's seven people can't beat the four of them. ”

"You're still a little one? How old are you still doing that, and people can't come out and run around in two moments? You earned hundreds of taels by selling clothes last year, and now you receive three taels of silver from Lord Chen every month, as well as a share of the sale of your wife, so you are so short of money. Zhou Shifa hit and kicked Deng Keshan, Deng Keshan blocked and said: "It's not that you are gone, otherwise how would I be beaten." ”

Zhou Shifa scolded: "Lao Tzu is doing great things with Lord Chen, just right, Lord Chen called you to go with Lao Tzu." ”

Deng Keshan raised his misty eyes and said, "Lord Chen is back?" ”

Zhou Shifa didn't speak, and dragged Deng Keshan all the way back, and the neighbors he met on the way greeted him one after another, and the neighbors were used to seeing them fighting before, and it was not surprising.

After entering Chen Xin's courtyard, Chen Xin also looked at Deng Keshan's pig's head in surprise, Deng Keshan had to explain a few words, Chen Xin knew that he usually did the little things, and he always had to pay it back when he came out to mix, since he couldn't find those people, he had to forget it. After a few words of comfort, he invited Deng Keshan to sit down.

"Brother Deng is familiar with the silk shop at the South Canal Wharf?"

Although Deng Keshan was beaten, he still looked like he was always oily, "Brother Chen wants to do silk business." ”

"Exactly, if Brother Deng has a familiar store, he can help me ask the price. It's best to know who drove it. ”

Deng Keshan is a local snake, Zhou Shifa has to be a soldier and on duty, this Deng Keshan is purely messing with people everywhere, and naturally knows that the silk business by the canal is a big deal, he still wants to get a share, and immediately comes to the spirit.

"Brother Chen, you wait, I'll ask you the price in the evening, there are vassal kings, princes and pavilion elders all over the river, and most of them are relatives who occupy a good place."

Chen Xin groaned slightly: "Then what does Brother Deng know about Qian Zhuang's background. ”

"Brother Chen, you also understand, these things have to leak some rumors, there is no one in Tianjin City who I am not familiar with, keep it and inquire about it."

Chen Xin nodded slightly and said, "Then please Brother Deng work hard, it's best to give me a response within two days." Naturally, he will give Brother Deng a heart. ”

"Brother Chen, don't worry."

Zhou Shifa kicked over, "Call your lord, Brother Chen is your name." ”

Deng Keshan was kicked again, he was also used to being beaten by Zhou Shifa, and said with a hippie smile: "Yes, Lord Chen, well, and Lord Zhou." Then he turned around again, just facing Nie Hong's face, Deng Keshan is used to people in the rivers and lakes, and there are many outlaws, but he was not frightened, and said: "Master Zhuangman." Zhang Dahui is familiar with Deng Keshan and laughs when he sees it.

Zhou Shi was about to kick him again, Chen Xin smiled and shook his hand: "Brother Deng is not a member of the camp, you can call him anything." Zhou Shifa stopped, glared at Deng Keshan and softened his tone, "Don't play tricks, you are what you are, if you dare to deceive adults, Lao Tzu will use a knife to talk to you next time." ”

Zhou Shifa has been following Chen Xin for a few months, and his income is also very good, and more importantly, Chen Xin's army is completely different from the Ming army's atmosphere fascinates him, Chen Xin has arranged for him to be in charge of something alone many times, and Zhou Shifa also found himself for the first time that he can do a lot of things, he is now dead set on following Chen Xin, and at the same time he knows that Chen Xin's methods are far more ruthless than his appearance, and he is worried that this Deng Keshan is too slippery, once he offends Chen Xin, it is not a joke.

Deng Keshan was still like that, and after talking to everyone, he withdrew, and went to the canal in good spirits.

Chen Xin held his chin with his hand expressionlessly and thought about it for a while, Zhou Shifa was still a little worried about Deng Keshan's recklessness, since it was something that Chen Xin personally went to Tianjin to do, it must be a big deal, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, and came over to Chen Xin and said: "My lord, or I'll follow that Deng Keshan, you know him, if something inappropriate comes out, it's ......."

Chen Xin looked up at him, and said with a dumb smile: "Shifa don't worry about this, I just asked him to inquire about the news, and it won't be a big deal." Saying that, he called Zhang Dahui, "At the conference, you go out to exchange some copper coins and come back, all kinds of things, take more broken silver to buy things." ”

Zhang Dahui stayed in the army for a while, and now he doesn't talk much in front of Chen Xin, so he directly took the order to go outside to change copper coins.

Chen Xin was not in a hurry to go to the clothing store, so he sat in the house to rest, and it was rare to have such a clean time recently. It is estimated that Song Wenxian should have set off earlier than him, and there are not many things to do in Beijing, so he should be back soon, and I don't know how much silver he got from the two adults. This old boy doesn't want to be happy in Beijing.

"I'll give him money to earn, will this old boy invite me to play in the Qinglou." ------------------------------------------ thanks to the new cover of the "Qingteng Gate Lackey" book friend friendship system zuò, it is indeed better than my original one, two changes yesterday, thank you lifox and yjuter1981 for the reminder vote, the author is still helping a friend get a plan recently, there are not many manuscripts, and I can't change them recently.
