Chapter 104 Goodbye (3)
"Last year I left without saying goodbye. I hope Chen Canjun will forgive me."
It's April again, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye. When we meet again, the girl in front of me is no longer dressed as a woman, but she is wearing a light blue shirt and a white embroidered dress.
The horse-face skirt has a white base and only the skirt embroidered with colorful flower and bird patterns at the bottom. At first glance, it seems to be integrated with the flowers and plants of this early summer season.
The color of the clothes was very light, but it made her face even more beautiful. In just one year, she had already looked like a grown-up girl, which really made Chen Kai's eyes light up.
"It's okay, Miss Zheng, there's no need to worry about it."
When Chen Kai said this, the girl lowered her eyebrows and responded with a slight smile. Just like that, the two stood in the small pavilion for a moment before the girl broke the silence.
"We haven't seen each other for a year. I heard that Chen Canjun has done many great things. Can you tell me about it so that I can talk to my sisters in the clan when I return to my hometown?"
From female younger brother to concubine, the girl's clothes have changed, and her self-identity has also changed accordingly. Correspondingly, Chen Kai's name for her has also changed from "virtuous brother" to "little lady Zheng". The two of them are no longer the same as they were last year.
It's like a scholar-official conversation, but an exchange between a man and a woman.
"event?"
Chen Kai shook his head. Compared with the last time the girl had menstruation, he had indeed done a lot in the past year. Nan'ao Island's military industry system has become more and more complete. Military uniforms are self-sufficient, and a garment manufacturing factory built according to the industrialization model has been established.
He rose from the ground and personally ventured into the areas occupied by the Qing army and persuaded the Wan brothers to come. But in retrospect, compared to capturing Chaozhou, it seemed that it was still less thrilling. It was probably because he had become obsessed with that kind of life.
, some of the life that he originally thought was very fulfilling became a bit boring.
"Those things are not worth mentioning. But if Mrs. Zheng is free, I can talk about other things. For example, some of my experiences."
"Then I'll follow Chen Canjun's advice." The girl nodded slightly, sat down on both sides of her body, and seemed to think for a while before asking: "Then Chen Canjun, can you tell me what you saw and heard along the way south?"
He opened his mouth slightly, and what came out looked like warm wind. But both Chen Kai and the girl knew that Chen Kai's answer would only be those bloody and cruel things that are difficult to look at directly.
Chen Kai regretted being so talkative without thinking. What he originally thought about was nothing more than anecdotes, but maybe it was because he had been here for too long, and he had begun to gradually forget his feelings for Zheng Chenggong and others.
He talked about those past events, but only in this casual moment, he was brought back to reality.
"Those things, I'm afraid, Miss Zheng may not be able to accept."
Chen Kai sighed, but the girl did not give up because of this. Instead, she looked directly into Chen Kai's eyes and said categorically: "I was born in this troubled world, to be a loving family to the family, and to protect my uncles and brothers in my boudoir.
It's a great blessing. But in this age, who knows what tomorrow will be like. I don't want to be a fool, and I don't want to have to cover my mouth and cry when disaster strikes, so I asked Chen Canjun to speak out.
."
"Okay, but this journey has taken a long time. I'm afraid it won't be finished in one day."
"Chen Canjun, please speak frankly. Sister-in-law, it may take a few days for her body to recover. I can listen slowly."
At the end of the sentence, the girl's voice was as thin as a mosquito. How could Chen Kai not understand this hint? Even though he had no idea at all, an impulse or an inexplicable urge surged up in his chest.
The throb comes out.
"Then, let's talk about it slowly. However, we don't want to talk too late every day, so as not to spread any gossip and ruin Miss Zheng's reputation."
"Chen Shenjun was very considerate and I thanked you."
The girl saluted, and after Chen Kai returned the salute, he said, "Then, let's start from when I left Datong Fucheng..."
After this conversation, the sky was getting dark when we parted, so that when Chen Kai returned to the study after parting, the stomachs of the three and a half young men had already begun to scream dissatisfaction. But even so, Chen Kai was
While feeling guilty, I couldn't help but smile to myself. After chatting for a long time today, it seems that we haven't left the border of Beizhili. It might take several days to finish the chat.
"Then let's talk slowly."
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily, and the three and a half young men looked confused. The class could not be finished, so Chen Kai simply left them to have dinner before sending someone to send them back to their respective places.
at home.
The next day, Chen Kai went to Aunt Dong You early in the morning to express his greetings. He was still on duty as usual. Judging from the report of the official in charge, the enrollment work was already very good. Chen Kai planned to admit students from three classes.
, there are about 30 students in each class, so that we can keep up financially, and those teachers can also bring them over. Once the preliminary literacy foundation is completed, and Chen Kai’s teaching materials have probably been compiled, we can cast a net among these children.
Caught fish.
Everything was going on step by step. Chen Kai was sitting in the office room, but he was not interested in official duties. His heart was always itching, and his anticipation for the sound of the gong at the end of work was getting bigger and bigger.
"Like a junior brother."
Putting aside his self-mockery, Chen Kai called his name and hurried back to the town hall. As expected, the girl was already waiting for him in the garden.
"There are a lot of things going on these days, so there will be no classes for the time being. We will notify you at a later date."
Chen Kai was so perfunctory with the three and a half boys yesterday, but today, asking a girl to wait for him still aroused a lot of guilt in him.
"I'm really sorry. I just came on duty and I rushed over. Unexpectedly..."
The girl covered her little mouth and laughed, two blushes suddenly appeared on her cheeks, and her small head hung down.
In this world, there are all kinds of women, with billions of colors, but the most beautiful one is just that hint of shyness, which makes his heart flutter. Chen Kai suddenly felt an impulse to hold the girl in his arms, but this impulse
As soon as it appeared, it was immediately suppressed by reason.
After all, this is not the 21st century. In the 21st century, it is not a new thing for two people to be in love, or to have a secret knot, and it is more common to marry one's son. But it is different now. Men and women should not have private meetings. If
Intentionally, the three matchmakers and the six men, and the white-headed agreement is the right way. What's more, he and this girl have only met three times in total, and today is just the fourth meeting. Even if this is basically a flash marriage, it is probably too much.
almost.
This is what it should be like to start with emotion and stop with etiquette. Chen Kai calmed down his thoughts, and the girl quickly returned to normal. Yesterday, Chen Kai mostly talked about land enclosures and investment, because
He had only read it in a book, so his speech was somewhat dry. After returning home yesterday, Chen Kai began to think about what he wanted to talk about today. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered someone.
"...The old man was speechless when he said this. I thought he was trying to show off, but unexpectedly, it turned out that he just had a dry mouth. After drinking water, his throat was swollen and he hurriedly continued talking about Yan Chixia.
Orally reciting the word "The Endless Heaven and Earth", "Qian Kun borrows the law", bites the tip of the tongue, and sprays a mouthful of blood on the sword. The bronze sword shines brightly, and when he cuts on the body of the thousand-year-old tree spirit, it is no longer just cutting off some dry bark.
There was actually dark red blood flowing out..."
"Chen Canjun is really good at joking. The big tree can even bleed. If you talk about this again, I won't listen."
The girl said she wanted to leave, but she had no intention of moving at all. She knew that the topic yesterday must have been too depressing, so Chen Kai found some anecdotes to lighten the atmosphere. While feeling secretly happy, he also felt faintly
She was a little scared, whether it was because she was afraid that the two of them would know each other privately, or something else. Even she herself couldn't explain this girl's thoughts clearly.
"To tell you the truth, Miss Zheng, I don't believe it either. However, there really is such a place as Lanruo Temple, located in Jinhua Mansion in Zhejiang Province."
"Chen Canjun been there?"
When legends enter reality, they always arouse greater curiosity. His big watery eyes are full of disbelief, and there is a lot of admiration in them. In this regard, Chen Kai smiled slightly, and then looked at her
