Miao Cuihua shook her head: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Ouyang Sihai smiled: "How can my martial arts be compared with my sister's, you are an authentic Shaolin sect, and I have heard the saying that the world's martial arts are out of Shaolin." ”

"That's right," Miao Cuihua's eyes flashed: "In the future, we will learn from each other, I will teach you Shaolin boxing, and you will teach me tai chi."

Ouyang Sihai said: "I have a chance to talk about it, now that we get to know each other, I ......"

After her words were finished, Miao Cuihua was already saying: "I know that you are Fang De's wife Ouyang Sihai, my name is Miao Cuihua, and in the future, I will call you Sister Sihai, and you will call me Sister Cuihua."

"It's good!"

Ouyang Sihai had no objection.

After hearing that her daughter was doing something with Ouyang Sihai, Miao Xian was very angry.

"You are too bold, as soon as you come, you will do it with the young lady of the family."

"But it was my daughter who was beaten, and my daughter was beaten, but the father didn't say a word of comfort, but was reprimanded." Miao Cuihua was very unhappy.

Miao Xian smiled bitterly: "You are lucky today, the young lady doesn't care, otherwise you will suffer, you must know that no one has dared to do it in the Fang family over the years, and those who dare to do it with the young lady in the Fang family, you are the first."

Miao Cuihua said: "I didn't expect a delicate young grandmother to have such good martial arts, I thought my martial arts were good enough, but it was too far from others."

"It's good to let you suffer a little, so that you don't have to rely on some martial arts and always cause trouble outside."

Miao Cuihua said unconvinced: "I'm just comparing ...... with her"

"Ouyang Sihai is the young grandmother of the Fang family, you are just a wild girl in the countryside, it doesn't matter if you are injured yourself, but if she is injured a little, see how you end?" Miao Xian's face was solemn: "There is an unwritten rule in the rivers and lakes, you must not use force in the Fang family and the four streets, otherwise you will be driven out of the four streets immediately, if you want to make a living on the four streets, you must remember this matter."

Miao Cuihua's eyebrows tightened: "How can there be such strange rules?"

Miao Xian replied to her daughter: " This matter has been circulating in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and the four streets have been very calm, and no one has ever dared to use force in the four streets, over time, there is even a legend in the rivers and lakes, no matter how big a thing you cause outside, even if it is murder and arson, but as long as you walk into the four streets, you will be safe, and you will never come here to arrest people, even the people in the government are no exception, but as soon as you step into the four streets, you must abide by the rules here, you can't cause trouble, and you can't fight, otherwise you will be bombed out by the people here, and more importantly, people are only responsible for your safety in the four streets, and people don't care when they get out of this street。 ”

Miao Cuihua smiled: "Fang De's face is not four or two, how can he be responsible for the safety of all of them."

"Of course, this is just a rumor," Miao Xian said, "but in the past few decades, no one has ever doubted its authenticity, and no one has ever caused trouble here, even the people in the government have never set foot here, and the people who have stepped into the four streets have never left.

"Yes!" Miao Cuihua said: "Don't worry, I will never cause trouble, if others provoke me, I will not fight back, and I will not fight back."

Miao Xian was a little funny: "Who will mess with you here, as long as you don't cause trouble, I'll thank God."

Miao Cuihua smiled and asked her father: "Do you know that Ouyang Sihai learned the martial arts of that sect, why my martial arts can't play any role in her, but restrain her hands."

Miao Xian said: "I just heard that she is a master disciple of the congenital Wuji Gate, and she learned the inner boxing, and the inner boxing pays attention to static braking, preemptive strikes, and practice to the extreme.

"Which is stronger, the outer kung fu or the inner boxing?"

"These two martial arts can only be said to have their own merits, the outer boxing is to pay attention to the preemptive, to force down ten will, the inner boxing is the last strike, to static braking, by force, four or two dial a thousand catties, to the weak to defeat the strong, to the soft to overcome the rigid, but the master's duel, completely depends on the individual's cultivation, although the soft can overcome the rigid, but it also depends on the strength of the soft, and the inner boxing is not as easy to get started as the outer boxing, it pays attention to the understanding, Ouyang Sihai can practice the superior martial arts of the congenital Wujimen, that is because her understanding is extremely high, the higher the understanding of the person who practices, the faster the progress If it is replaced by you, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve in a lifetime.” Miao Xian replied to her daughter.

Miao Cuihua said unconvinced: "One day, I will defeat Ouyang Sihai to show you."

All afternoon, Miao Cuihua didn't see Fang De and Ouyang Sihai, and it wasn't until dusk that she saw Fang De watering flowers in the yard where he lived. The yard where he and Ouyang Sihai lived was planted with peony flowers, seeing Fang De watering the flowers, Miao Cuihua was very surprised, this kind of thing should be done by the subordinates, but Fang De was doing it himself, which was really a surprising thing.

"Miss Miao, are you here?" Fang De did not look back when he said this.

"How do you know it's me and not someone else?" Miao Cuihua was even more surprised when she heard this.

"That's because of the sound of your footsteps," Fang De replied to her, "Everyone walks with different footsteps, as long as I have heard a person's footsteps, I will not forget, not to mention that I have heard your footsteps more than once." ”

"You can tell who a person is just by the sound of that person's footsteps?"

Fang De was still watering the flowers: "Of course, this only refers to acquaintances, if it is a living person, I don't know." ”

Miao Cuihua's eyes were flashing: "Can you teach me this skill?"

Fang De said: "If you are willing to water the flowers here for three years, you will naturally be able to hear many sounds that others can't hear, and things that others can't see with the naked eye." ”

"Nonsense!" Miao Cuihua pouted: "It's strange to believe you, you just want to trick me into helping you water the flowers, so I won't be fooled!"

Fang De continued to water the flowers: "Then you can wait for me to water the flowers."

Miao Cuihua was a little puzzled: "There are so many subordinates in the Fang family, why don't you let them do it?"

"The rule of our Fang family is not to do it for a day, and not to eat for the other."

Miao Cuihua smiled: "You can really joke, but that's fine, you are not old-fashioned, and you are rich, there will definitely be many women like you in the future."

Fang De smiled bitterly: "Nonsense!"

"Where am I talking nonsense, doesn't that Li Xiaohuan like you very much?"

Fang De said, "You didn't come here to talk this nonsense."

"I'm just borrowing you a little silver." Miao Cuihua was laughing: "You won't not borrow, right?"

"The fox is finally showing its tail," Fang De said as he watered the flowers, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"No more, no more, I only need a hundred taels!"

"One hundred taels?" Fang De smiled: "Your tone is not small, do you know how much a hundred taels are, some people can't earn so much in their lifetime." ”

Miao Cuihua said: "You won't be so stingy, I'll pay you back!"

Fang De said, "At least you should let me know what you are going to do with this silver!"

"My father plans to open a fish shop on Sitiao Street and do some small business, but we don't have enough capital, so we have to open up to you," Miao Cuihua said embarrassedly: "It's a big deal, when we make money, we will share your dividends, and we will cover all the fish in your family in the future." ”

Fang De nodded: "It's no problem to sell fish to make a living, I don't know if you have found a shop?"

"Not yet!"

"I'll leave it all to me, and I'll tell you when I find a suitable store," said Fang De, "but you finish watering the flowers for me." He had already handed the kettle in his hand to Miao Cuihua.

"No problem!" Miao Cuihua happily agreed: "But I also have one condition, I want to meet the foreigner, you must take me to the foreigner's banquet tonight." ”

"It's okay," Fang De actually agreed: "I'll take you to Robertson's birthday ball!"

Thirteen foreign companies are the earliest trading houses set up by foreigners in China, which is responsible for selling foreign goods in China, and then purchasing tea, silk, medicines, Silk was shipped back to his country, among which the British set up the earliest foreign firm, and the Fang family's Fang Long is the largest business in Jiangnan, so the president of the British and foreign companies, Robert, selected the Fang family's Fang Long as a partner, since the cooperation between the two sides, Fang Long has never let him down, over time, he and Fang De have also become best friends, so he will invite Fang De and his wife to his birthday ball every year. This year, there were many guests at his ball, in addition to the wealthy merchants in Jiangnan, even Admiral Gao Jinzhong and Governor Ordo were also very numerous, and they only came because the Prince of the British Crown and the French ambassador would also be present at Robertson's birthday ball.

When the lanterns were on, Fang De and his wife just came, and Miao Cuihua came with them.

Seeing Mr. and Mrs. Fangde, Robert immediately greeted him.

"Brother Fang, you're here, I heard that you went to Beijing, is Beijing fun?"

He is very fluent in Chinese.

Fang De smiled: "If you have a chance, you should also go to Beijing for a walk." ”

Robertson smiled: "There will be opportunities in the future." ”

Then he turned his gaze to Ouyang Sihai: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and Mrs. Fang has become more beautiful again." ”

Ouyang Sihai smiled: "You are too polite, I haven't congratulated you yet, I wish you a happy birthday, every year has today, every year has today." ”

Robert said: "I will be happier if we can sign the contract today, the Prince of our country and the Ambassador of France are very serious about this contract, they came early in the morning, and now the VIP room is waiting for you." ”

Fang De smiled: "I'm in a hurry to come back this time, just for this matter!"

Rob nodded: "That's good, please!"

"Please!"

When they walked inside, Miao Cuihua asked Ouyang Sihai in a low voice: "Why doesn't he speak foreign words?"

Ouyang Sihai replied to her: "Robert is very smart, he speaks Chinese very well, but we learn English with him, but it is very difficult, until now, we can't talk to him in English, every time we talk, he has to accommodate us, it is really shameless to say." ”

Although their voices were small, Robert still heard them, and he turned around and said, "Mrs. Fang is too polite, you have spoken English well, but you are too restrained to say it boldly, with your talent, you will definitely speak English well in the future." ”

"Thank you for the compliment!" Ouyang Sihai smiled beautifully.

Robert continued: "Now that we're going to talk about business, are you going to go?"

Ouyang Sihai said: "It's good to go and see it." ”

She and Miao Cuihua followed behind Fang De and Robert, and when they walked in, she told Miao Cuihua: "When you get to the conference room, you'd better not make a sound, foreigners pay the most attention to etiquette, you must not make any jokes!"

Miao Cuihua said impatiently: "Got it." ”
