Chapter Ninety-Three: Another End of the Year

"Master, this is a lot of money that can make people crazy." This sentence came out of the mouth of a smoky woman, and it felt a little untrue. Yingniang, who wants to prove that her ability is not limited to bed, does not have much confidence when facing Chen Xie. The reason is that Yingniang is 28 years old, and this age is synonymous with old Zhuhuang in the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the red cards in the building, who are all under 20 years old, the age disadvantage is too obvious. If she hadn't had a relationship with Chen Xie, Yingniang wouldn't have had too many thoughts, and now that she has defeated those women younger than herself, she wants to stabilize this position.

Yingniang's identity, the final result may be that she will be old for the rest of her life, and it is very likely. How can a woman not want to find someone to rely on, she couldn't find it before, but now that she has found it, she naturally has to grasp it. Youth rice can't be eaten for a lifetime, and only those who are useful to Chen Xie can guarantee the future. This point Yingniang has clearly positioned.

What kind of person Chen Xie is, Yingniang does not have a clear concept for the time being. But he must be a very special man, there are so many rich people in Dengzhou City, who went to build roads, run schools, and run regimental exercises? Who would give up this opportunity when they grasped a money-making opportunity that could be monopolized, and entangled a group of people to earn this money together?

Yingniang can be sure that Chen Xie has a long-term plan. Otherwise, we will not be able to resist the temptation and confusion of such huge immediate benefits.

Just when Yingniang was looking forward to getting praise in the form of an affirmative sentence, and conducted a further discussion on this, so as to temporarily produce the spiritual outlook of a female Zhuge . Comrade Divine Doctor looked at her indifferently, and said crookedly: "Go and wash your face!" It's like a ghost. ”

Yingniang froze directly, the lines were wrong, I said such thought-provoking and deafening words, you ....... Forget it, let's go wash your face first. There's nothing wrong with this makeup, it's just a little thicker. Glancing at the mirror, Yingniang was very confused.

In fact, Chen Xie simply doesn't like heavy makeup, because it feels too unreal. I often mix **, but I know that makeup is powerful and deceptive to the eyes. Obviously, the A cup and the guò makeup can create the feeling of the C cup. Don't talk about faces.

Yingniang, who was full of depression, had no choice but to wash her face, Chen Xie, who was sitting on the chair with her legs crossed and pretending to be an uncle, looked at her back, and secretly laughed in her heart, this woman is very smart, but she is too eager to show herself. This made Chen Xie have a little concern. Well, it's a little difference in the aesthetics of modern and ancient people. In Chen Xie's eyes, a woman of Yingniang's age is the most wonderful moment in a woman's life. A young man in his 20s, of course, likes this kind of experienced woman who can toss, this is not surprising. When Chen Xie is over thirty years old, he probably won't think so.

The plain-faced Ying Niang came back, her coiled hair was scattered, and she casually took a rope and wrapped it. It's clean, it's plain, and the whole person seems to be several years younger. Chen Xie's eyes were a little silly, and he subconsciously said: "This is good, you will be like this when I come in the future." "Yingniang is also a little dizzy, why is there still someone who doesn't like women to wear makeup?

Carefully put down the soup cup, Yingniang stood aside, this man is not what he understands, it seems that he needs to be cautious and needs to understand further.

Chen Xie is not polite, pick up the spoon and drink, the soup tastes good, authentic farmhouse chicken, uh, you can't do it if you want to be authentic. There is a hint of bitterness in the soup, which should be with ginseng slices, and a little wolfberry floating on the noodles.

"How long has this soup been stewed?" This question came out of Chen Xie's mouth, and it couldn't help but be a bit direct to people's hearts.

"Stingy! What day is the day when you don't stew some ginseng chicken soup here? Ying Niang's words can be regarded as losing all the benefactors in this building. There is no doubt that this is the truth, Chen Xie smiled, he likes to hear the truth. This has nothing to do with what the protagonist is or not.,It's simply an inevitable choice to see the world from an insecure perspective.。

"I have been an orphan since I was a child, and a kind aunt picked me up and brought me home,......。" As soon as Chen Xie spoke, he said a word, Yingniang's expression changed, and she slowly sat next to Chen Xie, holding her chin in one hand, and listening carefully to every word. Of course, Chen Xie's life story is set in the Americas.

"Maybe it's my life experience that has long since shaped my character, but I won't change this cautious personality in everything. When I say that, do you understand what I mean? Five minutes later, the brief statement had a question mark at the end and an inquiring look from Chen Xie.

"The slave understands and will prove to you that the slave is a useful person to you." Yingniang is really a smart woman, and directly gave the answer that Chen Xie wanted to hear the most, and got a more direct return: "Very good, I have enough patience to wait for you to prove yourself." Before that, I want you to understand one thing, Zhangjiazhuang is just a beginning, and my ultimate goal is to build a safe nest. So, the unreasonable things you see come from this. ”

"Slave, thank you for your honesty!" Yingniang stood up, respectfully blessed one. Chen Xie put away Yan Sù's expression, revealing two rows of white teeth that had not yet been smoked and yellowed: "I stayed here at night, and we need further honesty between us." Yingniang couldn't stop laughing, and she smiled without makeup.

"The ginseng chicken soup works very well, no, let's shoot first."

Half an hour later, Chen Xie, who walked downstairs, saw a group of guys with red eyes, and many of them rolled up their sleeves. Liu Qing stood in front of a door panel, with a table and a cardboard box in front of him, and a guy held a pen in his hand and wrote the names and numbers of each province on the red paper on the door panel.

Chen Xie glanced at it from a distance, and his eyesight is really good now. From five meters away, you can read the words on the door panel. In first place, it is naturally Nanzhili, and the annual sales of the winning bid are 1.5 million taels. The second place is naturally Beizhili, with a winning bid amount of 950,000 taels. The third place is Fujian, which Chen Xie did not expect, with an amount of 1.35 million taels. The fourth place is Zhejiang .......

When he saw the third place, Chen Xie thought of a person, this person was Zheng Zhilong. Hurriedly turned around, Chen Xie returned to the room, and Yingniang, who was still lying on the bed with strength, struggled to sit up, revealing her white shoulders and a rosy face, in addition to being satisfied but helpless.

"Good sir, why are you back again? Why don't I let the green jade and the purple jade come over? Yingniang was scared, and after two fierce battles, her lower body was swollen. If I do it again, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up tomorrow. It is said that there are no ploughed fields, only tired oxen. This does not apply to him. Well, in fact, it doesn't apply to the protagonist of the hanging. (Spit if you want to.) ）

"You're thinking too much!" Chen Xie complained, a little proud. As soon as he sat on the bed, his habitual hand pinched the slippery and full place: "Let your brother inquire about how Zheng Zhilong from Fujian is doing now?" In fact, Chen Xie can seek the help of informatization, but after all, it is a few words, and it is not as careful as Jinyiwei's information.

………………………………

At lunchtime, Zhang Yao looked at the dishes on the table, and the chopsticks were a little too much to put down.

"Is this a cucumber? Is this fresh edamame? Is this braised eggplant? What day is it today? Four questions in a row, Zhou gave an answer with a smile: "Sihua planted it in Zhangjiazhuang, and said that it was planted a little less this year, and it will be more next year." This did not send more than 300 pounds of various melons and vegetables to the family, saying that it would send some more in the Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

These melons and vegetables are really not a good thing, the problem is that in this season, being able to eat fresh melons and vegetables is simply something that the people of the Ming Dynasty can't imagine. Zhang Yao had heard that Jingshi Youzhong dug pits underground and could grow fresh vegetables in winter. But I've only heard about it, and I've never really seen people grow it.

"Do you know what Sihua is up to?" Zhang Yao quickly calmed down.

"I'm busy delivering fresh vegetables to every household." Zhou's face was full of pride, but she had been sending people to follow up and report. In the morning, after leaving, Chen Xie personally sent him to four places, one was the governor's yamen, Mo Tai received him, and Sun Guozhen sent him out. The second is Wang Tingxian, the third is Yang Guodong, the chief soldier of Denglai, and the fourth is Zhang Keda. The process is the same in every family, it is the official family or staff who welcome in, and the master who sends it out.

At this time, a sweaty water root came in, and Zhou Shi saw it and said: "Water root, Sihua hasn't rested yet?" ”

Shuigen was undoubtedly the guy who followed the report there, and stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's resting, in the Rejuvenation Hall, I said that I wouldn't send it in person in the afternoon." Shopkeeper Liu will arrange good people, and each household will send a little, there are not many things, which means something. ”

When Zhang Yao heard this, she picked up her chopsticks unhurriedly and started towards a plate of cold tomatoes, and after tasting the taste, she was amazed: "What kind of name is this?" The taste is very good. ”

"Sihua said that this is a tomato from Taixi, this method, or how Sihua told the cook below how to get it." Zhou explained with a smile, Zhang Yao looked self-satisfied, this nephew who picked it up really gave himself a long face.

"I can't eat so many melons and vegetables, so I'll send half of them to my father-in-law." Zhou is waiting for this sentence, things don't look good, but they can't stand the rarity of this season. Without Zhang Yao's nod, she had to ask first before she went to send her mother's family.

The Rejuvenation Hall was also closed at the end of the year, and the doctor also had to celebrate the New Year. In these years, there is no talk of the hospital on duty for the New Year, and it is very troublesome to be unlucky to get sick at this time, and it is very troublesome to see a doctor.

Today is a little different, just in time for the end of the year, I have to send salaries and New Year's red envelopes to the people below. When Chen Xie came in, he was just in time to catch up with everyone there, so he smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, you guys continue, I'll talk about something else when it's over." ”
