Chapter 17: Chance Encounters

Bai Xiongqi is very honest now, not only prepared a large number of dowries for his sister, but also took out 50,000 silver dollars to invest in Zhou Zhen.

The purchasing power of the silver dollar has depreciated with the times, and it is calculated at 21-year prices.

Food: A pound of rice is 3 cents and 4 cents, a bottle of milk is 8 cents, a pound of pork is 1 jiao 2 cents, and 1 pound of oil is 8 cents.

Wear: 1.2 yuan for a single trouser gown, 1.5 yuan for a padded trouser gown, 1.5 yuan for a single robe, 1.8 yuan for a men's cotton robe, 2 yuan for a women's cotton robe, 1.2 yuan for a single horse coat, 1.8 yuan for a cotton horse coat, 2 yuan for a single uniform, and 2.5 yuan for a cotton uniform.

The average person's monthly income is about 10 to 15 silver dollars, and the income of officials is even higher, about 80 silver dollars in a province.

The highest income is intellectuals, and the income of a university president can reach 500 silver dollars, which is much higher than that of presidents and prime ministers.

Jin Quan's income is about the same as that of a professor, three hundred to three hundred and five silver dollars.

Of course, the president and the prime minister do not live on money at all, and their daily lives are basically free.

Zhou Zhen bought two newspaper companies for less than 20,000 silver dollars, and a film company with two cameras for 5,000 silver dollars.

In order to support Zhou Zhen, Jin Quan took out 30,000 silver dollars, and the purchasing power of silver dollars is still very high.

Bai Xiongqi took out the 50,000 silver dollars, which can be described as a huge amount of money.

Now that he has lost the throne of the chief minister, he is so anxious that he can only count on Jin Quan to support him.

Zhou Zhen and Bai Xiuzhu's marriage is approaching, Bai Xiongqi has been beating for two months, and now he is bent on marrying his sister, and he is extremely honest, Jin Quan feels that Bai Xiongqi's beating is almost the same, and helped him arrange a position as the governor of the "John" railway.

Although this position is not as good as the chief minister (equivalent to the minister), the real power is not small, but it is necessary to go to Wuchang and Nanyue to sit in the town.

After Zhou Zhen and Bai Xiuzhu get married, they will go to the magic capital, and Bai Xiongqi will also go to the south to perform his duties.

used to be just a relationship between teachers and students, but Zhou Zhen married Bai Xiuzhu, and the two families are a family.

Sitting in this position for a few years, waiting for the railway to open to traffic, it is logical for Bai Xiong, who has made great contributions, to rise again.

He is also very satisfied with this position, this railway is currently supported by many countries, not only has a high prestige, but also has a lot of oil and water!

Although there are many troubles to become an agent of the interests of many countries, as long as it is done well, it will be very beneficial to him in the future.

The main reason why Zhou Zhen wants to go to the magic capital is not to make movies, but to get out of the current environment.

The original work is a love in the world, but the TV series is a pure love story of the Republic of China.

is also limited by different rules, so Zhou Zhen wants to try whether he can get out of the current environment.

In the world of "Fireworks in the Day", he and Wu Zhizhen are inseparable, and they can only be in that game.

But the rules of this world are different, because the story blurs not only the era, but also the background.

He even wanted to try it, ignoring Leng Qingqiu's white lotus, what the result would be.

Leng Qingqiu's character of the White Lotus was so successfully portrayed that in the main world, the actor who played this role, because of the affair, the word White Lotus became a derogatory term.

But according to his understanding of the mission world, all the plot characters should have the inertia of operation, and they can avoid being involved if they are not ignored by Zhou Zhen.

He also wanted to see if he didn't go to Leng Qingqiu, in what way Leng Qingqiu would be entangled with him.

In addition to Leng Qingqiu, Zhou Zhen was also unwilling to entangle too much with the rest of the Jin family.

The brothers and sisters of the Jin family, except for the two elder sisters who belong to progressives, are the kind of people who are idle and gnaw at the old.

The eldest brother likes to pick up girls and accomplishes nothing, the second brother likes a man, and the third brother is cowardly and incompetent.

With them, Zhou Zhen will have a lot of worries, it is better to stay away and be quiet for a few years.

In the process of preparing for the wedding, he also spent Jin Quan's birthday, although it was not a big event, but his status was placed there, and people from all walks of life still came.

Zhou Zhen also noticed that Liu Chunjiang, who was the son of the second eldest, returned from studying in Germany and became a guest of the Jin family.

This time, he still met Xiao Pian under the arrangement of the world.

He is still fascinated by Xiao Lian, but unfortunately, Xiao Lian is no longer the identity of a servant, but the identity of the aunt wife of the seventh young master of the Jin family who has not yet passed the door.

Therefore, although he was obsessed with Xiao Lian's beauty, he didn't dare to show it again.

He was originally a cowardly character, otherwise, he would not have been angry to death because of the bag drop.

Zhou Zhen believed in Xiao Pian, in the original play, she went through several entanglements, and the seventh young master didn't like him, so she empathized with Liu Chunjiang.

Now, Zhou Zhen has accepted her, and her body and mind are all leaning towards Zhou Zhen.

If Bai Xiuzhu hadn't been staring closely, Zhou Zhen would have taken her into the room first.

Bai Xiuzhu is very delicate, but after all, she is only sixteen years old, and in front of the veteran Zhou Zhen, she has already fallen into the gentle trap compiled by Zhou Zhen.

With a whip in one hand and sugar in the other, now she only cares about enjoying the excitement and pleasure of love.

If it's just to enjoy women's sex, Zhou Zhen is actually about to be fulfilled now.

But he wants more, and in addition to enjoying it, he also wants to complete the task better.

Turning a romance film into a struggle film, a business war film, or even a spy film, this subversion should be even greater.

Of course, if he is too tired, he will give up again.

"Seventh Young Master, get up. I'm going to pick up your dress from a ready-to-wear store today, and I'm going to send invitations to the French and German consulates......"

Zhou Zhen opened his eyes, looked at the pretty little pity dressed up and smiled. "Before dawn, you called me to get up, are you anxious to see your bridal dress?"

Xiao Lian rolled her eyes and came over to pull him without hesitation. "I will get married in a few days, and the whole house is busy with your marriage, Seventh Young Master, you are still so heartless."

They grew up together, and there was not much between them and up, only intimacy.

Zhou Zhen pretended to be in a daze and was dragged up by her, and with a little effort, he pulled her to the bed and hugged her. "Little sister, are you happy?"

"I'm going to die...... Xiao Lian struggled in a low voice, pushing Zhou Zhen's chest. Seventh Young Master, don't ...... like this"

Zhou Zhen took her ear beads in his mouth and kissed her with a smile. "Say, are you happy?"

She blushed and nodded.

Zhou Zhen's hand shook dishonestly on her bulging chest, and said with a smile: "I'm also very happy, in a few days, we will be able to sleep together openly." ”

Little mercy held his hand and kept him from doing it. "If you want to sleep, you also sleep with Miss Bai, she is the eldest woman, and I am just a concubine."

Zhou Zhen said: "How can there be any eldest women and concubines, you are all my wives, we will sleep together in the future." ”

"Shame on you......"

Xiao Lian is hard-mouthed, but she is obedient to Zhou Zhen, although she is shy, she never refuses Zhou Zhen's excessive behavior.

Such a lovely woman is really unloved.

After some teasing, Zhou Zhen got up honestly, washed up and went downstairs, and the whole family had already gotten up.

In order to prepare for the wedding, the whole family is now gathered, including the fourth lady Jin Daozhi and her aunt Liu Shouye, who work with her husband in Dongying.

The entire Jin family has been dressed up, and four days later, it will be the wedding of Zhou Zhen and Bai Xiuzhu, and everyone is doing their own job and preparing for the wedding.

After breakfast, it was already dark. Zhou Zhen's task today is to send invitations to the major consulates, because it is a wedding, this invitation must be sent by him in person.

After arranging the route for sending invitations, when Zhou Zhen took Jin Rong out, Mrs. Jin said: "Xiao Qi, you will pass by the flower shop when you send invitations, remember to tell them that you will arrange flowers from tomorrow." ”

"Okay, Mom, is there anything else to do?"

"Don't worry about anything else."

The fourth sister, Jin Daozhi, said: "When you come back, remember to help me bring a bouquet of magnolias." ”

After delivering the invitation all the way, Jin Rong parked the car at the door of the flower shop, looking at the flower shop as if it was a hundred years later, Zhou Zhen couldn't help but complain: This is still the Republic of China, and there is a flower shop......

Most people are still living on the subsistence line, and there is no transportation everywhere, where do these flowers come from?

But no matter how unreasonable it is, there is a flower shop, and the types of flowers in the flower shop are not much worse than those of later generations.

As for how to keep it fresh and how to transport it, the world has already arranged it.

After arranging the things that his mother and the fourth sister explained, Zhou Zhen was about to go out with a bouquet of magnolias, and then met a man and a woman walking in.

Zhou Zhen fixed his eyes and looked, and sure enough, the inertia of the world arranged a chance encounter between Leng Qingqiu and Ouyang.

Leng Qingqiu is the heroine of this world, and Ouyang is Jin Quan's illegitimate son and Leng Qingqiu's teacher.

He originally liked Leng Qingqiu, but he hadn't won Leng Qingqiu's liking, and was later snatched away by Jin Yanxi.

Zhou Zhen originally wanted to pretend not to see it, but hesitated for a moment and held the flower in front of Leng Qingqiu. "Miss Leng Qingqiu, hello."

White Lotus glanced at Zhou Zhen with some surprise, her figure of one meter six looked small and delicate in front of Jin Yanxi who was 185.

"Hello, do we know each other?"

"I don't know, but I know the one next to you. Ouyang Yujian, maybe I should call you brother. ”

Ouyang Yu was stunned and looked at Zhou Zhen in shock. "Did you recognize the wrong person?"

"Maybe it's the wrong person, my father really didn't know that there was a son like you." Zhou Zhen bowed slightly, walked out, walked to the door of the flower shop and turned around and said, "I actually don't mind having an older brother like you." ”

Ouyang and Leng Qingqiu were inexplicable when they said this, but both of them were flooded with waves in their hearts, looking at each other but not knowing what to say.

Out of the door of the flower shop, Jin Rongcai said disapprovingly: "Seventh Young Master, you call your brother where the dogs and cats are...... Even if he is the seed that the master left outside, you shouldn't say it in front of outsiders. ”

"You don't understand...... You can tell your father when you get back. ”

Zhou Zhen was deliberately looking for something for Jin Quan, saving him from paying attention to his son.

In addition, if he finds something to do with Ouyang, he has no time to entangle Leng Qingqiu......

In the original play, Jin Yanxi chased Leng Qingqiu with poems and essays that she was not good at, purely to show off her own shortcomings, a prime minister's son, do you need to use poems to pick up girls?

(Originally, this story was intended to be written about pickled girls, and it was easier to write.) But I have been closed for half a month recently, and my mentality is a little problematic, and I feel that it is awkward to write a pickle girl. In addition, I can't write too self-indulgently, I try to adjust as much as possible, and if the adjustment is not good, I will finish this story as soon as possible. 2k reading web
