Chapter 112: House Examination (Part 1)
The next day, he had nothing to do, so Chen Ji took a good night's sleep at home. When he got up to have dinner in the afternoon, the eldest son told him that the girl Huaping had been here and said that Mr. Xu had been to Yin's house and smoothed the matter down, so naturally her father and the three Chaofengs would be fine.
Sitting in silence, she sat at the small table with a bowl of porridge, gently blew the air, and said, "I don't know if Miss Yin will give in a few steps."
The eldest son couldn't understand what Chen Si was saying, but he had a good habit... Even if he didn't understand at all, he could listen with relish and never say it, so Chen Si liked to talk to him the most, especially some things that were not suitable for him to say.
I heard a sigh of silence, holding the bowl in both hands and said, "I was thinking about what kind of lady can teach a maid like Huaping. Now I know that Miss Yin is indeed capable. If she is a man, she will be able to do a great career."
"Their career is not small now," the eldest son smiled and said, "Originally, the Yin family could only be considered a big businessman in Shaoxing. Now, under the management of Miss Yin, there are still many people in Zhejiang." The eldest son rarely talks and rarely praises others, but he also praises Miss Yin... When such a big family business was in the hands of Miss Yin, many people were waiting to see her jokes at first. Who knew that not only did not fall, but also flourished, and people could not help but admire her.
"What's the use?" When he heard the three words "Miss Yin", his mood became a little strange. He quickly lowered his head, grabbed a piece of pickled cucumber and covered it up, "It's not all of them." After saying that, he was secretly surprised and said, "Why am I so feudal?"
The eldest son also sighed, "Yes, it's a pity that he is a woman." He said, "I heard that Mr. Yin intends to hire a husband-in-law. If he can really find a suitable one, the problem will be solved."
"What a bad idea." Chen Si shook his head, not knowing where he felt bad.
Even the eldest son noticed his abnormality and thought there was any conflict between Chen Si and Miss Yin. So he smiled silly and stopped talking.
But someone didn't want to calm down, so he screamed strangely: "Where is this idea bad?" Before he finished speaking, the Si Si of Chen pushed the door open and came in. He just eavesdropped outside the door, and the content of the conversation between the two people in the room was not missed at all. As soon as he entered the door, he said with a lewd look on his face: "I understand what you are talking about is Miss Yin! That is the exiled fairy who descended to the mortal world. Not only is she unparalleled in beauty, kind-hearted, but also capable... If anyone enters her house, she will be like falling into a golden nest for the rest of her life... She will really marry a wife and celebrate the New Year, and she will take all her good things."
As he said that, he sat down next to Chen Si, touched a big red apple from the table and started to chew, and said in a vague manner: "Since she was in the year of the hairpin, she had been waiting in line to propose marriages and could be around Shaoxing City. Unfortunately, her mother passed away at that time, and it has only been put down until now. But there are still half a year before, and the queue will definitely be longer."
"Why is it longer?" the eldest son asked in surprise.
"Hehe, you are still doing business, and you don't even understand this principle." Chen Jing smiled and said, "After the silence, Miss Yin was eighteen. Master Yin must be in a hurry to arrange the marriage. If you go too late, you will become someone else's family. And this time, 80% will not be as provocative as two years ago. Many people think that the opportunity to take advantage of the situation has come."
If it were usual, Chen Si would definitely tease, "Don't you be ready to go down the river to fish?" But now, he was just eating with his head down, sitting there without saying a word. Instead, the eldest son asked with interest, "Are you going too?"
Chen Jing said in a silent heart: 'This guy must be going.' But Chen Jing shook his head and said, "I won't go."
"Why?" Chen Si finally spoke, with a hint of joy in his tone.
Looking at him ambiguously, Chen Jing curled his lips and said, "The most important thing about marrying a wife is to live a life; the most important thing about living a life is to be comfortable; to be comfortable, you have to marry a compliant person... We will definitely not be able to surrender the strong woman like Miss Yin, and you will feel inferior from time to time. How can you have the pleasure of a real man?" As he said, he said with regret: "Miss Yin, I have no chance in this life. I can only stand in the wind and miss you secretly."
The melancholy and funny look made the silence laugh, which made Mr. Chen, who wanted to get sympathy, very upset. He waved his hand angrily: "I won't say this anymore, let me tell you a big news... Our Lord of the Mansion is going to serve. The new magistrate has arrived outside the city and is waiting for the auspicious day to enter the city."
Chen Si was shocked and said, "It's impossible. Last time, County Magistrate Li told me proudly that Lord Mansion had reported his name to the court!"
"Can you be pushed by the relationship?" Chen Jing scratched his chin and affirmed himself: "It is very likely that in this world, nothing is strange."
Silently sighed: "Mr. County Master treats me well, I hope he can think about it."
"There's something else." Chen Jing lowered his voice: "On the same day, our family went out of the city to collect the accounts, but when they arrived at the city gate, they were blocked. It's not okay to go to the dock to take the waterway."
"Why?" Compared to who is the magistrate, the eldest son is more concerned about the surrounding traffic issues... there is still a boat of salt to reach the shore tomorrow.
"I heard from them that because many refugees gathered outside the city to come in, the Mansion Master announced that the water and land gates would be closed and no one would be allowed to enter or exit." Chen Jing said in a deep voice.
After hearing this silently, he lost his appetite and put down his job and said, "Are you a Japanese refugee?"
Chen Jing nodded and said, "Yes. If the flood season is still early, where will the victims come from?" This month, the news of the resurgence of Japanese pirates began to spread in Shaoxing City. The government has come forward several times to refute the rumors, keeping the people calm.
The eldest son said angrily: "The government always wants to hide it! Conceal it! Conceal it! Now, all the fleeing people have arrived at the door of their homes. I see how they hide it!" As he said, he pounded the table and shaking the dishes.
Silence was stained with the splashed rice soup, but he didn't care and frowned tightly, "This month I don't know what I'm going to do. If I don't handle it properly, I will starve to death!"
"Absolute." Chen Jing nodded, looking very sad.
The eldest son asked in a deep voice: "Our charity warehouse in Shaoxing is full, why not open a shop and serve porridge?"
