Chapter Ninety-Nine: Employing People Without Doubt
Chen Shu hurriedly got her up and asked, "Miss He, now that your father is also sick, do you have any plans?"
Miss He pinched the corner of her clothes, shimpered for a while, suddenly her face was swollen and red, and she said in a low voice: "I...... The son is very kind, there is no way to repay it, the little woman is willing to follow the child, as a slave and a maid, that ...... Give you laundry and cooking to repay your kindness. ”
Chen Shu looked at her and said lightly, "What about your father, what should I do?"
Miss He opened her mouth and stammered for a while before she said quietly: "My aunt's house is in Luoyang, and my father can live there......
Chen Shu sneered: "Your father is old and delirious, so you can't bear to leave him behind and leave him alone under the fence, lonely?"
He had felt that this He girl was a little cold by nature, not for anything else, she obviously heard Xu Xiangping and them talk about Deng Qing's broken leg because of her family's affairs. However, when she saw him just now, she didn't say a word of thanks when she saw him limping. At this time, I was even more impressed, and I wanted to ask her, if you were born like Deng Qing, would you still want to repay the favor?
It's just that he is not a mean person, and when he saw that this girl was full of embarrassment, he didn't say it, but said: "I am a wanderer, and I often experience dangers, and it is inconvenient for you to follow me, so it is better to live with your father." If you have any difficulties, just say that I can help you with anything I can. ”
Miss He bit her lip and hung her head silently, Chen Shu stood up and walked to the back to see Deng Qing and the others busy.
After they had eaten, Chen Shu asked Deng Qing, "What are you going to do with Brother Deng?"
Deng Qing pondered for a while, glanced at Miss He, and said, "I want to help Uncle He and Miss settle down first, I don't know ......"
Then Miss He kept hanging her head and didn't speak, Chen Shu smiled and said, "They must be going to Luoyang to join their aunt's house, aren't they, Miss He?"
Deng Qing saw that Miss He nodded, so he said, "Then I will send them to Luoyang to make plans again, what about you, Engong?"
Chen Shu stood up and said with a smile: "I have something important to rush to the capital of the Qing court, then I will leave first, Brother Deng, under Chen Shu, I appreciate you very much." Please don't leave Luoyang, wait for me to finish the Qingjing business, and come to Luoyang to find you. ”
Deng Qing was slightly stunned, then nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, I will definitely wait for Hou Engong to arrive." ”
Chen Shu originally had the intention of sending them to Luoyang, after all, he admired this Deng Qing very much and wanted to take it for his own use. It's just that after all, the family's affairs are more important, and after thinking about it, the journey from here to Luoyang is not too far, but it can test and hone this person's ability.
He took out a few ingots of silver from his arms and handed them to Deng Qing, saying, "In today's troubled times, the road is difficult and dangerous, Brother Deng, please be careful all the way." ”
Deng Qing didn't shirk, took it generously, looked directly at Chen Shu and said, "Dare to ask Gongzi, but is there anything useful about the villain? If so, do I need to do some homework in Luoyang?"
Chen Shu was stunned, but he didn't expect him to have such a vision. I couldn't help but be very happy, and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of specialty or interest Brother Deng has? If you are willing to learn martial arts, the younger brother can pass on a little ...... to you."
Deng Qing pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "The villain is self-aware, and civil and military affairs are not my strengths. It's that Yu Shangjia has some specialties, I don't know if I can help my son?"
Chen Shu smiled: "Of course you can, this is no better." Reaching out and pulling him along, the two of them walked to a secluded corner. Chen Shu took out the gold ingots brought out from He Fu, counted ten ingots and handed them to Deng Qing, and said with a smile: "Brother Deng will use this as the capital, even if you let it go, it doesn't matter if you lose or win." ”
Deng Qing's face was full of shock, so much gold, but a lot of money. He said repeatedly: "Childe, this is too much, I don't dare to accept it!"
Chen Shu shook his head and smiled: "Brother Deng, I treat you as a brother, what is the value of things outside your body? I won't tell you anything, all this gold was snatched from Xu Xiangping's hands, and I didn't pay attention to it." ”
Deng Qing saw that he was speaking frankly, he was stunned for a while, and said in a low voice: "Gongzi and I have no deep friendship, but they met in Pingshui. Why do you trust me so much? If I abscond with the money, or lose all my money, won't my son lose a lot?"
Chen Shu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, I can trust Brother Deng's personality." As for whether to pay or not, I have already said it, it doesn't matter. I treat you as a friend, and it is common for these gold gifts to give you, so let's take them as a congratulatory gift for you and Miss He. ”
He watched coldly, seeing that Deng Qing was quite affectionate towards this Miss He. Although he felt that this girl was not worthy of Deng Qing's character, he didn't care much about other people's emotional affairs, and teased him casually.
Deng Qing's face was slightly red, and then he saluted respectfully, and said solemnly: "I wish Gongzi a smooth journey." ”
Chen Shu smiled slightly and strode out. This time the road was uneven, killing four people and saving a girl, none of which mattered. Just getting acquainted with this Deng Qing made him very happy in his heart. This person is virtuous and pure, and he befriends with kindness and righteousness, and treats each other honestly, so that he can take it for his own use. As for the ten ingots of gold, they were easy to come by, and he really didn't pay attention to them at all.
Out of the tea shed, the horse Jianghu Road, galloping all the way, but I never saw the convoy escorting the prisoner car. The next day, near the end of the evening, seeing that the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was getting late, I thought I was going to spend a night in the wilderness, when the road turned, and a Zhuangzi appeared in front of me.
Chen Shu galloped over, but saw a bunch of people crowded on the side of the road in front of the village, only to hear someone shouting: "Coming, coming!" Then a group of people rushed over.
Chen Shu reined in his horse, and the group of people looked at him in amazement, looked at each other, and then sighed together, all shaking their heads and sighing, greatly depressed.
He couldn't help but be stunned, jumped off the horse, and arched his hand: "Dare to ask you, why do you see such a situation below?"
The group of people looked at him and shook their heads again and again, and one of them coughed and said, "Little brother, we have recognized the wrong person, so naturally we will be disappointed, you are not surprised." ”
A strong man snorted and muttered, "The fourth master is not yet here, but such a little white face has come, it's really unlucky!"
Chen Shu heard that this person was rude, and glanced at him, thinking that it turned out that these people were waiting for someone, and it was no wonder that he was the person in the twilight.
He smiled and said, "Dare to ask you, where is the master here?
The strong man widened his eyes, leaned in front of him and looked at him, and said with a strange smile: "Little white face, if you are not afraid to play with Monk Fan as a mother, then just do it." ”
Chen Shu frowned, and was about to teach this impudent guy some lessons, when a middle-aged man came over and said, "Sun Laosan, keep your mouth clean!"
Arching his hand, he politely said to Chen Shu: "Childe, we have some foreign affairs in our village today, I'm afraid I can't entertain you." ”
Chen Shu saw that these people were all worried, and they were talking about it, but he didn't know what difficulties they encountered. How could he be a person who was afraid of things, smiled slightly, and said: "It's okay, I love to be lively in the next place, but I want to come and make it up." ”
The middle-aged man was stunned and said, "This ......"
Sun Laosan rolled his eyes and said loudly: "One or two, they all say like this, this is really strange, is it possible that they are all masters?"
Suddenly, I heard a person say loudly: "No, no, no! You guy is very wrong!"
Chen Shu turned his head and saw a person walking out of the Zhuangzi. The man was slender and long, wearing a gray cloth robe, with a perverse face, and shook his head as he walked.
The third Sun glared and said, "What's wrong? What kind of opinion do you have?"
The man shook his head and said, "No, no, no, this is not a high opinion." My little daughter can figure it out, but you don't understand. ”
He pointed to Chen Shu and said, "This is one." Then he pointed to himself: "These are two." Then he pointed to Zhuang Li a few times and said, "There are three, four, five, how can one or two be described?
Chen Shu was amused when he heard it, but he had already vaguely guessed the identity of this benevolent brother in his heart.
The third Sun was also a stubborn character, glared at the man for a while, and suddenly said: "I just said, 'One and two, they all say like this'! When you came, you guys said that, plus this little white face, not one or two, but how many?
