303 Step-by-step
Engels's father's name is Volgograd, which means a big tree rooted in the black soil, judging from the name, it is clear that Udir has great expectations for this only son, hoping that he can resist the prosperity of a family, but unfortunately limited by talent, Volgograd is too cautious, the success is barely acceptable, and the pioneering ability is far from enough. In this regard, Udir was a little worried, but fortunately, the birth of the little grandson gave him new hope, and under the full teaching, although the little grandson was a little timid compared to his father, as long as he was given some time to grow up, he could lead the family to move forward slowly.
And while he's growing up, someone has to lead him forward. Before he died, Udir 'saw' a lot of things, so he arranged it step by step to try to make his offspring's life easier, and these more than 300 women are just the beginning.
The servant said something in Volgograd's ear, and the latter's face changed for a moment, and he said to Chen Xiansong: "Sorry child, I have something to go out to talk to someone, you talk to Engels first, and I will come in later." ”
"If there is something to do, uncle will be busy first." Chen Xiansong nodded, and then took advantage of the situation to take a sip of the warm fruit wine. In this cold weather, it is very comfortable to have a hot drink.
The little grandson also wanted to pour Bai Min a cup, but unfortunately Bai Min didn't react coldly. Now Bai Min is quite famous among the nobles of Black Rock City. Almost everyone who is not too closed knows that there is a famous sun god servant in this city who is not false to outsiders, with abnormal beauty and amazing strength. The little grandson had been in contact with Bai Min a few times, and he didn't care about her temper when he saw this, but his mother was a little uncomfortable when she saw this situation.
Chen Xiansong chatted with Engels for a while, and remembered that there were still a lot of things to deal with in the association. He expressed his intention to leave, and at the same time continued: "Those three hundred women, in a month or two, when I have built the house and brought them to my territory, I will trouble you to take more care of them during this time. ”
"Well said, well said." Engels stood up and prepared to see off the guests, knowing that Chen Xiansong was the president of the association. There are a lot of things, and I should have squeezed out a lot of time to come to my house today.
Chen Xiansong gave a farewell salute to Engels' mother, walked two steps, and then suddenly said: "At night." I'll have someone bring you a hundred barrels of wine for the month, but there are some very important things to explain. Otherwise, those wines are prone to spoilage. Well...... Tell Robert to come with me. He was the teacher's protector and confidant, and I felt I could trust him. ”
"Okay." Engels answered, his delicate face full of gratitude. People who can take these little things into account for their family are definitely worthy of deep friendship, especially now that the family has begun to decline. was also excluded from the aristocratic circle by other nobles, and there was a person of Chen Xiansong's status and status who really helped, which was really blessed by the sun god.
Engels immediately asked the servant to summon Robert and asked him to go with Chen Xiansong.
Chen Xiansong was sent off by Engels. Out of the gate. At some point, the sky, which had already been somewhat clear, was covered with dark clouds again. Patches of goose feather snow floated down from the sky, and then were carried down by the winter wind, and fell to the ground in a whirlwind. The weather became colder and colder, and Robert and the little grandson suddenly went from the warm room to the icy and snowy outer room, and couldn't help but make a swing, but Chen Xiansong and Bai Min had nothing to do, because the moment they went out to the door, Bai Min held up an enchantment to isolate the temperature, enveloping both of them in it, a bit like the design of a vacuum bottle.
The place is located on the outskirts and is sparsely populated. Coupled with the freezing weather, it became more and more quiet. On the other side of the doorway, Volgograd was talking to a couple of nobles, a couple of middle-aged people, led by a young man. They were a little far away, but the place was so quiet that their voices could be faintly heard. The two sides seemed to be arguing over something, and Volgograd's voice looked a little angry.
Chen Xiansong followed the prestige and found that these people were a little familiar, but they couldn't be named, they must have seen them at a banquet. Naturally, they also saw Chen Xiansong, and their faces seemed to be surprised, as if they had seen some characters that should not appear here, or something that should not have happened.
Other people's private affairs, if there is no need, Chen Xiansong rarely inquires. Since Engels did not say anything about this, Chen Xiansong would not take the initiative to investigate, and saving face for others is one of the necessary criteria for dealing with people. Therefore, Chen Xiansong did not see this, but greeted Engels, and then took Robert into the carriage and left directly.
Because of the snow on the road, the carriage was moving a little slowly, and it took more time than expected to reach the association. Chen Xiansong asked Robert, who was sitting on the wheel: "I recently heard that the business that the teacher left behind before has been broken, right?" ”
Rob nodded, with a sense of helpless vicissitudes in his voice: "Yes, in the past, the business in the family was only continued based on the face of the elder. Now that the old man is gone, the old man doesn't know much about business, and the little young master hasn't grown up, and the farm has indeed been a little strapped recently. However, the elder has left a lot of property, and it should be no problem to hold on for a decade or two. ”
Chen Xiansong nodded, he could see these things from the information handed over by the association recently, and the reason why he asked Robert was just to confirm it. Chen Xiansong has actually memorized the names of those nobles who took the initiative to cut off business contacts with Engels, and this move is not for revenge, but simply to tell himself that these people can't be trusted, and when dealing with them in the future, everything has to be kept in the bottom line.
About an hour later, the carriage arrived at the association. Chen Xiansong told Robert all the things that need to be paid attention to in the storage and transportation of liquor, and then wrote down these points. Robert's note was like a dozen pounds of gold, carefully stored it close to him, and at the same time thanked him again and again.
"Robert, I know that things are not going well in the teacher's farm recently, if necessary, remember to come to me for help." Bi Xiansong said lightly: "Originally, these things should not be said by me, but I promised the teacher to take care of Engels until he can support a family." You are an old man in the meeting, you have been with the teacher for a long time, and you have rich life experience, and if Engels does something wrong in the future, you will directly teach him, and if he is not convinced, you will say, I asked you to do this. ”
Robert finally knew at this time, for what Chen Xiansong wanted to nod and let him come to the association, the reason is this. When he listened, he bent deeply.
Time passed day by day, and more than two months later, the new house in the village has been built, although it is a hastily built house, not a good house, but it is better to be able to shelter from the wind and rain.
Chen Xiansong took more than 30 carriages and more than 100 mercenaries to the edge of Engels' manor, ready to pick up the orphans and widows who had moved from other villages. When they heard that there were more than 300 more girls in the village, the mercenaries were so excited that they didn't sleep well for several days. Only a small number of people in the escort team have families, and the others are singles, and now that they have money, they will send women and offspring, but there are not many unmarried women in the village, and they want to go to the city to find it, and it is not very convenient, Chen Xiansong's move is simpler than putting a dozen more gold coins on them.
Engels took Chen Xiansong to the place where the woman was placed, but when he arrived at the destination, Chen Xiansong took a breath of cold air.
These women were dressed in clothes, most of them were earth-colored, and they knew that they were often hungry when they looked at them, and the places where they lived were all thatched houses, and when the wind blew, they shivered in the snowflakes. Now it is several times more miserable than what they used to live in the village.
"What's going on?" Chen Xiansong couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Engels was a little ashamed, but did not speak. He originally wanted to provide these women with enough food, clothing, shelter and transportation as much as possible according to his grandfather's instructions, but his mother was unwilling and ordered him to equip these women with only the minimum daily necessities and shelter, and his arms and feet could not be twisted, so he had to be silent and do what his mother said.
"They are all human beings, and they will all be good laborers in the future, how can they be treated like this." Chen Xiansong sighed, then turned to the group of escort mercenaries behind him who couldn't move their legs when they saw a woman, and shouted angrily: "You idiots, what are you still standing for, don't you see that they are cold? It's the men who take off their clothes and put them on them, you are all capable people, wear one or two less cold and don't die, don't hurry up, I have to scold you to be happy, isn't it. ”
The women watched a group of men undressing and rushing towards them, and suddenly turned pale with fright, thinking that they were going to be 'comforted', but unexpectedly, the group of men threw their clothes on them, fixed their bodies, laughed stupidly, and did not make any other movements.
It was only then that they finally understood that the men were not trying to hurt them. The women wore coats full of sweat and sourness, not only geometrically, but also gradually warmed up their hearts.
More than thirty wagons carried more than three hundred women. Before leaving, Chen Xiansong said to his little grandson in a serious voice: "Engels, if I come a few days late, there will definitely be starvation and freezing death among these women, I know that this matter should not be your order, but as the next head of the family, you must have your own opinions and decisions, you have to try to express your thoughts, opinions can be listened to, but the person who makes the decision can only be you, not anyone else." ”
Engels had a twinkle in his eyes, and then nodded heavily.
Chen Xiansong returned to Graystone Village, and as soon as more than 300 women were settled, Ze Longer came to the door, and his first words were: "Father agreed, and I agreed." When will those things be handed over to me? (To be continued......)
