On the second day, I won't say what kind of miserable situation the Second Gray family is.

After He Yan had breakfast, he didn't have anything to do, took out his sword and went to the courtyard to practice his sword.

Just when He Yan was about to finish practicing, Wang Xiuying came out of the house and saw He Yan practicing swords, and after returning from pouring dirty water, he stood down and watched for a while.

When He Yan finished practicing, Zhang Xiuying smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Wang still uses a sword?" ”

He Yan smiled: "For so many years, I have never been so idle, and I don't know what to do for a while, so I come out to do activities." ”

"Blind practice, practice and play."

Zhang Xiuying said: "It's good. ”

He Yan suddenly said on a whim: "I'll teach you to practice swords?" ”

Zhang Xiuying waved her hand and smiled: "I can't, you can practice." ”

He Yan handed her the sword and smiled: "It's okay, come and try." ”

Zhang Xiuying waved her hand and smiled: "I really can't do it." ”

"Come on." He Yan handed her the sword as he spoke, and then he found a wooden stick from the firewood and began to teach her to practice the sword.

"Hands straight."

"Pick up like me."

"Yes, that's it, isn't that what it looks like?"

He Yan taught and found that a serious, dedicated, and gentle woman like Zhang Xiuying was really good-looking when she danced a sword.

Zhang Xiuying's memory is not bad, after only teaching a few times, he memorized most of the movements, and he was almost able to dance consistently.

He Yan looked at his heart and said, "What do you mean, is this the matter of God asking me to give her another chance and mention the concubine to her again?" ”

He Yan thought to herself, if this is proposed, if she agrees, then the New Year will become two people, so it is not convenient to do anything by herself, at least tomorrow night, she can't put a Spring Festival Gala for herself.

If you don't accept it, there is no harm, at most there will be no one to warm the bed.

After thinking about it, He Yan decided not to accept it for the time being, which is good for the time being.

Then, after the two of them had practiced their swords, they went back to the house separately.

In the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

He Yan made a bunch of good dishes by himself, and after letting go of the whip, he ate Chinese New Year's Eve dinner while watching the non-sensational sketch at the end.

After eating, He Yan went out to see the flower box, came back in the middle of the night to eat the dumplings, and went to sleep without waiting for dawn.

The next day, no one came to pay New Year's greetings to He Yan, so He Yan went to the uncle's house in the Great Bell Temple to pay New Year's greetings.

I drank wine at everyone's house for a day and came back in the evening.

After the seventh day of the new year, the guys came back one after another, and when they saw He Yan, they all said happily about the New Year.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, according to the previously written day, the teahouse opened normally again.

Soon, the guests were coming.

The chubby, meaty-faced Erdezi swayed into the teahouse, and when he saw He Yan, he hugged his fists and said with a smile: "The New Year of the shopkeeper Wang is good." ”

He Yan also clenched his fists and said with a smile: "Happy New Year." ”

"You're early enough."

Erdezi said with a smile: "You opened on the first day of the new year, so I naturally have to come over early to cheer." ”

He Yan smiled: "Okay, okay, please." ”

After a while, Second Master Song came, and this year is also a New Year's greeting, and then said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wang, your level is more than ten days, I haven't come for more than ten days, I really want to kill me." ”

He Yan responded with a smile: "No way, guys also have to celebrate the New Year." ”

Second Master Song nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Then Second Master Song sat down, Fourth Master Chang, and Tang Tiezui also came one after another.

The whole teahouse is full of people again, and it is very lively.

A few months passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the summer of 1899.

In the summer of this year, Second Master Qin's plan to open a factory finally began to be implemented.

First of all, he took care of the yamen very domineeringly, and then forcibly bought Chang Siye's house and a house around his house.

Chang Siye had no choice but to sell his house and move to the countryside.

Chang Siye hasn't opened a teahouse in the past few days.

When the second master Song came on this day, he asked him: "Fourth master, what have you been busy with these days, and you haven't come to drink tea?" ”

When Chang Siye heard this, he said: "Don't mention it, my house was forcibly bought." ”

Second Master Song asked, "What's going on?" ”

Chang Siye said it again, that day their whole family was happily making dumplings at home, but suddenly Qin Erye's housekeeper took someone into his house and began to measure the house without saying a word.

When he found out and went out to ask, he was told by the housekeeper that this place was going to be used by Qin Erye to build a factory and save the country through industry, so he bought his house.

If he doesn't sell it, the housekeeper told him that he has to sell it, and if he doesn't sell it, he has to sell it, and the second master Qin in the government has already taken care of it.

Second Master Song listened and said, "What kind of person is this, forcibly buying someone else's house." ”

"And where do you live now?"

Chang Siye said: "My father-in-law's family has a house in the countryside, but it happens to be empty, so I moved there." ”

"I also want to open it, sell it, and in the future, I will plant some land and support myself, which is also good."

"Hey." Second Master Song sighed and said, "What kind of world is this?" ”

Chang Siye said with a disappointed expression: "I think if it goes on like this, this Qing Dynasty is going to die." ”

When He Yan heard this, he said: "Fourth master, don't dare to talk nonsense, don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs." ”

Second Master Song also stretched out his hand to stop him.

Chang Siye listened and nodded helplessly.

At this time, a woman led a little girl with a straw mark on her head and walked in, and when she came in, she said pitifully: "Which one is good, buying this child is like buying a kitten and a puppy, so that the child can have a way to live." ”

"The countryside is in chaos, the land is panicked, and there is no harvest."

The guests in the teahouse, whether they were kind or Tang Tiezui all the way, pouted when they saw them, turned their heads, and didn't like to look at this.

He Yan walked over, looked at the little girl who was quite handsome, and seemed to be a duty, and asked, "How old is the child, who is it, and who else is in the family?" ”

"The child is 12 years old, a native of Shandong, the whole family came out to escape the famine, and the child's father starved to death." Saying that, the woman pulled the child and knelt down and said, "Please, you can do well, just buy her, there is really no way to live, just two taels of silver." ”

"Girl, is this your mother?" Although it is impossible for a trafficker to only need two taels of silver, this is the mother-in-law to find a way to live for her daughter, He Yan still asked.

The little girl nodded obediently.

He Yan said: "Get up, I bought it." ”

When the woman heard this, she wept and kowtowed, "Thank you, thank you." ”

He Yan said: "Third master, bring a pen and paper." ”

As soon as Li San heard this, he took a pen and paper.

After taking it, He Yan wrote the deed, took out two taels of silver and put it on the table, and said to the woman: "Press the handprint." ”

"Okay, okay." When the woman heard this, she happily pressed her handprint.

After receiving the money, he said to the girl: "Girl, you will be this master's in the future, and you must be obedient in the future." ”
