Chapter 115: The First Entry into the Republic of China (35)
Liu Ben looked a little wooden, but he just bowed down and greeted Chen Weilin and Chen Twelve: "Governor, my aunt and grandmother have an auspicious New Year." ”
Chen Twelve noticed that this Liu Ben was probably not as wooden as others looked like.
Although Liu Ben is not as good as Boss Liu, some hidden details highlight his ambitions, such as his boots, in the cold winter, Boss Liu wears mille-feuille cotton shoes wrapped in brocade that the rich love to wear, although they can't get wet, but rich people have saddles and carriages everywhere, and they never need to walk on muddy snow by themselves.
And this Liu Ben is different, he is not wearing brocade cotton shoes worn by the rich, nor ordinary cloth shoes worn by the poor or laborers, but wearing a pair of military boots of a similar style to Chen Weilin.
In this era, as long as you have money, you can get anything, but military needs are different, not only to have money, but also to have relationships.
I'm afraid that this Liu Ben is not simple, just looking at the attitude of this shopkeeper Liu towards this younger brother, he should not know that he is ambitious.
After Boss Liu and Chen Weilin exchanged pleasantries for a while, he said: "My brother and I are going to watch the fireworks, so I won't stay longer, and there will be good things to be delivered in a while, and most of them will be enjoyed slowly!" ”
Chen Twelve suddenly asked, "Did you two set off the fireworks?" ”
Boss Liu smiled on his face: "Hehe, back to my aunt's grandmother, my brother put it." ”
Chen Twelve smiled lightly and nodded.
At this time, Liu Ben, who had never said anything, suddenly said: "It's best to go to the deck to watch the fireworks, the field of vision is the broadest and the best." ”
As soon as Liu Ben said this, Chen Weilin was moved: "Yan'er, why don't we go and take a look?" ”
Chen Twelve knew that this Liu Ben said this on purpose, since the other party came prepared, he might as well cooperate to see what tricks they still had.
So Chen Twelve smiled and nodded.
Chen Weilin took a group of people to the deck, and Boss Liu was leaving, so he followed on the deck.
When I got to the deck, it happened to be another firework in the sky, dotted with stars in the night sky.
Chen Weilin and the others were stunned, as Liu Ben said, watching the fireworks on the deck really felt close at hand.
Just as a group of people were concentrating on watching the fireworks, a figure behind him slowly approached Chen Twelve.
Hongmeng didn't like to see this firework the most, so he looked around, and suddenly saw a person coming up and about to push Chen Twelve into the water, and immediately the rooster crowed: "The host is big!" Get out of the way! ”
Chen Twelve heard Hongmeng's voice, and a dodge appeared, and Liu Ben staggered past her.
Between the lightning and flint, Chen Twelve seemed to have figured out something, pretending to be taken and falling into the water.
But in fact, Chen Twelve jumped off the deck and lay on the bottom of the boat with the kung fu of gecko swimming against the wall.
The water of the cold winter moon was biting cold, and Chen Twelve couldn't help but shudder, trembling his teeth and pouring a little lake water on his head.
Seeing this, Hongmeng used his weak wings to stop Chen Twelve: "The host is big, you are crazy, this is ice water!" ”
"Don't make a noise!" Chen Twelve frowned, turned over and swam towards the shore.
At this time, the ship was already frying.
The pregnant aunt's wife fell off the boat, and this is still a good idea?!
Chen Weilin immediately lay on the deck and looked down, but saw neither the "smoke" nor Liu Ben.
It is now the freezing period, the ship does not carry cargo, and the draft is shallow, so when looking down from the deck, there is a large visual blind spot, and Chen Twelve took advantage of this visual blind spot to leave the lake and swim ashore.
And Liu Ben was not so lucky, he planted straight into the bottom of the lake, choked on several mouthfuls of water, and finally his face floated to the surface, struggling to flutter on the surface of the water weakly.
The people sent by Chen Weilin quickly approached the bottom of the boat in a small boat, but only saw Liu Ben, who was half-dead, and after looking for someone to pull him onto the boat with an oar, a group of people scattered to continue looking for his aunt's wife.
At this time, Chen Twelve found a piece of ice not far from the painting boat, and when he heard that the boat of the person looking for someone was approaching, he hurriedly lay down on the side and pretended to be dead.
"Here we are! Here it is! My aunt is here! Immediately, he saw Chen Twelve with sharp eyes, and kept shouting at the back.
When Chen Weilin heard the news, he took the unconscious "Yan'er" lying on the ice into his arms, kept patting her cheeks, and shouted: "Yan'er! Smoke! Wake up! ”
When Chen Twelve only felt that he was about to be shaken unconscious, he spit out the water that had already been in his mouth, trembled all over, looked at Chen Weilin weakly with his eyes open and said, "I, where am I?" ”
Chen Weilin was in a hurry, and he didn't care why the "smoke" was not soaked, so he picked it up and rushed to Chen's house.
Boss Liu was also frightened, only felt that he was going to be killed by Liu Ben, the turtle grandson, and saw that he was thrown alone on the boat, so he immediately asked his subordinates to catch Liu Ben, who was still in a coma, tied him with a rope, and rushed to Chen's mansion.
In Chen Twelve's courtyard, the real Yan'er was lying on the bed drinking hot honey goat milk, eating mung bean crisp, and praising while eating: "Bi'er, your mung bean crisp is really a must!" ”
Bi'er smiled and put down the needlework in her hand: "If Mrs. Aunt thinks it's delicious, the slave maid will cook it for you every day." ”
Yan'er touched her stomach and smiled: "Haha, then I won't eat into a ball." ”
The interior is warm.
At this moment, the sound of the maid slapping nervously came from outside the door: "Miss, Miss, go and take a look!" My aunt is overboard! ”
Yan'er, who was sitting on the bed, and Bi'er, who was sitting at the table, glanced at each other, and their first reaction was: "The eldest lady fell into the water?" ”
The two of them didn't dare to delay, Yan'er picked up the cloak on the side, tightly covered his stomach, and rushed to Chen Twelve's side under the cover of Bi'er.
The maid who reported the news was still wondering, why did the eldest lady look so bloated today, but in the ice and snow, who is not afraid of the cold, and it is normal to wear a lot.
When Yan'er and Bi'er rushed to the house out of breath, there was a person lying on the bed, that person was facing the inside of the bed, unable to see his face, and Chen Weilin was holding her hand.
Chen Weilin heard the movement of pushing the door, turned his head and saw Bi'er and Yan'er covering their faces with a cloak, only thought that Chen Twelve was coming, and said to the two of them: "You are here?" Your second mother fell into the river and has already gone to call a doctor, you don't have to worry. ”
Yan'er made a look, Bi'er immediately understood, walked to Chen Weilin's side and said in surprise: "Ah, master, your clothes are still soaked!" Hurry up and change your clothes, there are slaves and maids and eldest ladies to take care of your aunt and wife!" ”
Chen Weilin hesitated a little: "This, the smoke is still soaking wet, I-"
