The daylight in the middle of summer was very dazzling, Bai Zhong lazily lay on the rattan chair, took a deep breath of fresh air, and then looked at Chen Shengkai with a stunned face and said: "I have hands and feet, but I am homeless, since you brought me back, but you are responsible." ”

Chen Shengkai gasped, and scolded in his heart, where is this to pick up a man, it is simply an ancestor with a very thick skin. He is a person who likes to accumulate money, and he is unwilling to spend money on idle things, so although he has some small money in his hands, after so many years, he still hasn't hired anyone to help at home or in the store, let alone spend money to raise a little white face for no reason!

"You're not right! I saved you because I had a good heart, but now that you are penniless, I don't want any reward, and you are not my person, why should I be responsible? Since you have no home, then go to wander around, find a home for yourself, if you are lucky, which eldest lady takes a fancy to you, you, you don't have to worry about food and clothing in this life, what are you doing here in vain. ”

Bai listened to it, stretched out an index finger and waved it left and right, and then said: "Of course I won't rely on it, I can help you, you can do any job, don't need to be paid, just eat and live, I see that your yard is quite big, and it shouldn't be in the way to live with me." ”

When Chen Shengkai heard this, his heart moved, now his business is booming, and he is indeed a little too busy to be alone, if he can have a helper... That's the best thing it could be, it's just... The man in front of him looked young and very strange. I don't know if the way is right or not, in case it is a thief and liar, he is afraid that he will not be able to catch chickens and lose rice.

Chen Shengkai struggled again and again, rubbed his palms and turned in place several times, only then did he seem to have made up his mind, looked at Bai Cong and said: "What you said is very right, but... You don't look like a good person, how can I believe you, if you want to harm me, then wouldn't I invite you into the urn and ask for your own hardship! ”

Bai Cong narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You don't believe me? But this is also normal, I'm just alone, you should have a place to report to the official here, or leave it for me to use first, so let's see if I'm trustworthy, as long as you think I'm a bad person, just report to the official, and ...... I can also marry you a beautiful daughter-in-law..."

"Beautiful daughter-in-law!! Really fake!! There is really a beautiful daughter-in-law??!! ”

Hearing the word daughter-in-law, before Bai Zhongzhong finished speaking, Chen Shengkai had already quickly walked to the bamboo and rattan chair, staring at him with glowing eyes, Bai Cong squinted his eyes, and said with a wicked smile: "Of course it's true, I can still lie to you, I see that you have passed the age of standing, the boss is not small, but such a big house is empty...... Mo not... What's the problem... This is this?? ”

"Phew! What a stubborn disease! What nonsense are you talking about! Although I am a merchant family, but my ancestors also studied, although my father and mother died early, but early orders, I married a wife who will be a scholarly lady. ”

Bai listened to it, laughed secretly, and said, "That is to say... You can't look down on these ordinary people, do you have to find someone who can read and write? ”

Chen Shengkai sighed: "No way, Zu Xun is here, I don't dare not listen, it's just a pity that those ladies don't look down on me, although I have a wide range of connections, but the Confucian families who come and go look down on me from the bottom of their hearts, not to mention that I am a businessman, and I do some business that alternates yin and yang." They're scared too! ”

Bai nodded, touched his chin, and thought for a long time before saying: "Okay, who called me a person who knows how to repay kindness, you can look at it, in a month, I will definitely find you a beautiful lady who is as beautiful as a flower and knows how to be well-read!" ”

"You're really??!" Chen Shengkai's face was a little excited, and he fixed his eyes on the man in front of him who was in tatters and dark.

"Of course, you will see you in a month, so you can just watch patiently. So... What does the strong man think? That...... I just made a condition..."

"Naturally, there is no problem, if you kid can really solve the major events of my life, don't say anything about food and shelter, even if you are an uncle in my family, I welcome it!"

"Excellent! Strong, I like your cheerfulness! ”

Bai Cong said with a smile, then looked at his swarthy arms and the rags on and off Zhou's body, and glanced at Chen Shengkai with embarrassment: "But you see that I am like this now, I can't even get out of the door, how can I find a wife for you..."

When Chen Shengkai heard this, his face stiffened, he looked at Bai Congzhong's figure, and then turned his back to calculate: This person looks much taller than me, if you make a dress for him... Even if it is the worst cotton linen clothes, it is at least thirty pieces of silver, enough to buy a lot of things......

Thinking like this, Chen Shengkai made up his mind, turned his head, and looked at Bai Cong with a smile: "Young man, you naturally don't have to worry about this, do you see, that room is a bathing place, I'll help you boil some hot water, as for clothes, you don't have to worry, I'll help you find it, make sure you can go out to meet people!" ”

Shiro's body was covered in black ash, and he washed it in the tub several times and changed it with a lot of water before it was rinsed. Bai took a deep breath from it, his whole body was refreshing, and his whole mood was much better, but when he changed into the clothes Chen Shengkai brought, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, only to see Bai Zhongzhong's lean ankles naked, the cotton boots on his feet were messy, and they were a little bigger, although the clothes on his body were comfortable brocade, but the sleeves were obviously a few inches shorter......

Bai sighed and scolded in his heart: "It's really a door-picking!" I don't even want to buy a piece of clothing! ”

Just as Bai was speaking, there was a knock at the door, Chen Shengkai wiped the sweat drops on his forehead, the corners of his mouth adjusted a suitable smile, and shouted softly: "Young man!" Have you packed up? If you're ready to pack up, come and eat. ”

Bai Zhongzhong opened the door in response, the sunlight outside the house was still a little dazzling, Chen Shengkai finally took a closer look at the person in front of him this time, his complexion was as white as snow, his facial features were exquisite, and he looked like a fairy who came out of a painting!

Chen Shengkai rubbed his hands and thought: I didn't expect this dress to be really handsome, if he can really help in the store, with this appearance, he can also attract customers for himself, so good!

Bai Zhong frowned, watching Chen Shengkai's gaze become more and more obscene, and even the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.

"I said, Chen Zhuangshi... What bad idea are you playing again?! ”

Chen Shengkai came back to his senses, took Bai Congzhong's arm attentively, and said with a smile while pulling him into the main hall: "What a bad idea, I just said that this dress fits very well, you see, with your earth-shattering handsome face, if you go out, I'm afraid I don't know how many girls to be married will look at it!" Hahahaha! ”

Bai Zhong smiled silently, and followed Chen Shengkai into the main hall, just ......... Bai Cong stared at the two bowls of white rice porridge and two plates of green vegetable leaves on the round table, and finally couldn't help but grit his teeth and look at Chen Shengkai and said, "I said...... Chen Zhuangshi... You're too picky, aren't you? ”

Chen Shengkai looked at Bai's face that was gradually losing his smile, and quickly explained, "Huh? That's a mistake, young man! Besides, you have slept for so long, just woke up, it is not appropriate to eat any fishy things, you look at this loofah, green and delicious, look at jade and emerald, the entrance is refreshing and cool, moisturizing and detoxifying, it is a very beneficial tonic for the body, it is very suitable for you. ”

Bai rolled his eyes widely, but this Chen Shengkai's words were like beads, and he was very slippery. So that he couldn't think of a rebuttal for a long time.

After a long salary, Bai laughed angrily, picked up the chopsticks and turned over the vegetable leaves on the table, and said: "If you want me to say, it makes sense that you can't marry a daughter-in-law, so picky, which girl is willing to suffer and marry you!" I can't even buy a new piece of meat to eat, and everyone is beautiful, and I won't want to see the common people! ”

Chen Shengkai heard Bai Cong's words, and hurriedly walked over: "Oops! You agreed to this, but you can't regret it! I'm not deducting it, although my family business is good and I have saved some money, but think about it, do I still want to marry my own son? This dowry is said to be a matchmaker, you have to spend money, marry a daughter-in-law, do you have to have one more mouth to eat? If you have a child in the future, it will be even more amazing, just food and clothing will cost a lot, plus reading and literacy, where is enough, if I don't pinch it tightly, what can I do! ”

Bai was too lazy to listen to Chen Shengkai's messy explanations, but he was really unaccustomed to eating green leaves without a little oil and water in front of him, and he hadn't drunk for many years, and the wine worm in his stomach was really itchy and uncomfortable at this time!

Thinking like this, Bai Zhongzhong had an idea, looked at Chen Shengkai and said with a smile: "I said Chen Zhuangshi, you also know that those ladies are very particular about their behavior, and they go in and out of some celebrity places, I want to help you find a daughter-in-law, then you have to meet." ”

Chen Shengkai looked at Bai Zhongzhong, his eyes dodged, and it took a long time before he gritted his teeth and took out two taels of silver from his arms.

"That's all I have to say, you can save a little bit. Let's put it in front, a month, that's all, no more! ”

The corners of Bai Zhong's mouth lifted lightly, and he reached out and grabbed the broken silver that Chen Shengkai had held in his hand for a long time, and said, "Don't worry, everything is on me!" You wait for my news! ”

After that, he took the silver and walked lightly towards the door of the main hall. Seeing this, Chen Shengkai immediately shouted: "Young man! Why are you going?! ”

Bai Zhong turned his head, handed Chen Shengkai a knowingly inquiring look, and said with a smile: "Of course, I went out to find a daughter-in-law for Chen Zhuangshi, let me see which beautiful girl is going to be unlucky!" ”

When Chen Shengkai heard this, he was anxious and happy, looked at the back of the leaving, and shouted: "Okay, good!" What Chen Zhuangshi! How vulgar, my name is Chen Shengkai! ”

As soon as Chen Shengkai finished speaking, he seemed to remember something again, and continued to shout: "That's right! Save money and spend a little, and! The girl must be pretty! ”

It wasn't until Bai Zhong waved his hand and went out that Chen Shengkai was satisfied, and entered the main hall proudly in the spring breeze, and ate the green leaves in front of the table that Bai Cong disliked.
