After Nashan heard what I said, she stopped talking. She thought that what I said made sense, and she couldn't help but be moved. It's just a girl's reserve, plus she has always regarded me as an enemy in the past, so I'm afraid it won't last for a while.
Save face.
I felt that this matter was feasible, so I stopped asking for her opinion and said: "My house happens to be short of a housekeeper. I think you are very capable in managing people, so you come to my house to work. In fact, you don't have a housekeeper."
No matter how many specific things you do, it should be very easy for you."
Nashan no longer refused my request, but said: "Just now you said you have a wife, I don't know what kind of person she is." I laughed and said: "You are talking about Xiaolian, we are not married yet.
Nashan's face suddenly looked strange and she said, "You let her live with you before we got married, and you said you're not that kind of person."
I said: "Xiao Lian originally had a happy family, but half a year ago, her father was killed by your father's soldiers and she became an orphan. I happened to meet her and brought her to the capital. She didn't follow me.
Living together, if you leave her alone, where will she go?"
Nashan didn't seem to know about the bad things that Obai had done, so she naturally refused to believe what I said, and said anxiously: "You are lying, this is impossible. My father is very kind, how could he send someone to kill your husband?"
"My father." I snorted and said: "Of course your father is kind to you, but as for others, let me tell you, not only Xiaolian, but also my other wife's father was killed by people sent by Obai.
Damn it." Nashan burst into tears and said, "This is impossible, this is not true, you are lying to me."
I sighed and said: "Shanshan, you are still young and don't know many things. To you, Obai is a good father who loves you dearly and is not willing to let you suffer a little injustice. Naturally you think that
She is a good person. But to others, your father is a bad person. Many people have been killed by him. I don’t know how many people die at his hands every year. How many little girls like you have lost their loved ones.
If not, why would the Emperor want to arrest him given his great achievements in the past?"
These words made Nashan cover her face with her hands, burst into tears, and said: "This is not true, this is not true." I said: "You don't have to believe me, but don't you believe what the people in the capital say?
Go out and ask around, is there anyone in the capital who says your father is a good person?" Nashan must have heard some rumors, and at this time she probably believed what I said, so she stopped arguing and just kept crying.
I saw her crying hard and said: "Shanshan, you don't have to be too sad. What your father did was his sin. Now that he is dead, the debt has been repaid. It has nothing to do with you.
You are innocent, so you have to live well." Nashan tried her best to stop crying and said intermittently: "He also calls me Shanshan at home..."
I saw the pain on her face and couldn't bear it, so I walked forward, held her gently in my arms, and said, "Cry if you want to, it will make you feel better." Nashan looked up at me and hesitated.
After a while, he rested his head on my shoulder, let out a loud cry, and started crying again.
I felt sad and happy at the same time. I held her back with one hand, stroked her hair with the other hand, and murmured: "Cry, cry, it's okay after you cry. I will take care of you in the future."
The more Nashan cried, the more sorrowful she became. She seemed to want to vent all the sadness that had been suppressed in her heart during this period through crying. After a long time, I felt that my shoulders were soaked, and Nashan's crying gradually stopped.
Rest, I thought to myself that I was finally done crying. After this scene, this girl might not hate me anymore.
Finally, Nashan raised her head. Her big eyes were red and swollen, and her eyelashes were full of tears. She looked at me, then lowered her head and said, "Can you call me Shanshan again?" I knew what she was thinking.
I missed my father, so I said softly: "Shanshan." Nashan's body trembled, and tears flowed down again. I hugged her tightly and said again: "Shanshan." Nashan thought that everything was filling her mind.
Her father's shadow did not react to my actions.
I began to think about whether I should call her a few more times and take advantage of the opportunity. It would be a pity to let go of such a good opportunity. After making up my mind, I called out in a gentler voice: "Shanshan
~~" One hand slowly slid down.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Li Yapeng rushed in with Qian Laoben, shouting: "Master, Master Qian is here...ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Why is there nothing in the house?"
Where are you, master?" As he spoke, he pushed Qian Laoben out and closed the door behind him.
Nashan and I had separated at this time. Nashan's little face was as red as a ripe persimmon. She hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face. I looked at her panic look and felt very happy in my heart. I knew what the little girl was feeling.
Now that you have me, things will be much easier to handle in the future.
Nashan finished wiping her tears and glanced at me. When she saw me looking at her, she quickly lowered her head and turned to go out. I stretched out my hand and snatched her handkerchief. Nashan was startled, turned around, and wanted to go to me.
Begging, I stared into her eyes, slowly brought the handkerchief to my nose, smelled it, put it in my arms with a smile, and thought to myself: "You little girl, I'll electrocute you to death with my eyes."
As expected, Nashan was shocked by my fiery eyes. She no longer dared to look at me, turned around and ran out.
I laughed, returned to the table, and sat down. Li Yapeng and Qian Laoben entered the room and looked at me with smiles. I was angry that Li Yapeng ruined my good deeds and cursed:
"Old Li Tou, why can't you remember to knock on the door when entering the house?" Li Yapeng bowed repeatedly and said: "Master, I have remembered this time, and I will definitely knock on the door before coming in next time."
I waved my hand and said: "Okay, you go down, I'll talk to Brother Qian about something, don't let anyone come in." Li Yapeng responded and was about to go out, I stopped him again and said, "There is one more thing.
, this... my house is short of a housekeeper... I saw that the girl just now is quite capable... this... this... you can arrange it in the next two days..." Li Yapeng understood and said hurriedly: "Little
Understand, I will send Grandma Nashan to your old man's house early tomorrow morning." Seeing his cleverness, I felt happy and said, "That's great, go and prepare a banquet and send it to my house.
, I’m going to invite some friends to dinner later.”
After Li Yapeng exited, Qian Laoben sat down and said: "Master Xiang, the chief rudder is leaving Beijing today and is looking for you everywhere." When I heard this, I remembered that Chen Jinnan was still in the capital for the past two days.
He was so busy that he actually forgot about him, so he said: "Send someone to inform Master and the brothers in the guild to come to my house for a drink later. I will be leaving Beijing in the next two days.
By the way, I want to say goodbye to everyone." Qian Laoben stood up, walked outside the door, called a senior attendant, gave a few instructions in a low voice, then returned to his seat and said, "My subordinates have made arrangements.
Incense Master, you come to me urgently, do you have anything to explain?" I said: "Brother Qian, how are you doing with the business?" Mr. Qian said: "Back to Incense Master, heaven and earth are almost done.
It will be opened in the near future, and my subordinates have opened some shops, and the business has just begun to pick up." I was quite satisfied with his progress and said: "Very good, if you have any difficulties in business, you can use my name
I'll go to Prince Kang for help. I'll be out of Beijing this time and it may take a few months before I come back. Now I have an important errand to entrust you with."
Qian Laoben was overjoyed and said: "I wonder what the incense master has ordered." I thought for a moment and said, "I wonder how far our trading company has developed now?" Qian Laoben said: "Currently the trading company only sends gifts to the palace.
I have some materials, and my subordinates sent people to buy some goods from the south, which will arrive in Beijing in the near future." I nodded and said, "I want you to get some sea ships and go to some countries in the southeast to collect some opium and poppy.
Seeds, I wonder if it can be done?" Qian Laoben hesitated and said, "This matter is a bit tricky. There is a sea ban along the coast, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome." I chuckled and took out a few notes written by Kangxi from my arms.
He picked out the shipping card, handed it to him, and said, "What if there is a special order from the emperor?" Qian Laoben was overjoyed and said, "With this, it will be easy to handle. No one dares to stop us anymore.
However, we have to ask the chief helmsman to return to Taiwan to make arrangements. Otherwise, our ship will be hijacked by the Taiwan Navy as soon as it arrives in Fujian." I nodded and said, "You are thoughtful, I will follow you when we get back later.
Master, tell me."
After explaining the overseas procurement matters to Qian Laoben, we left Huafeng Building and took a bus back to our house. A group of people from the Tiandi Society had arrived a step ahead of us. Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries and the servants served a banquet.
Then he retreated, and Qian Laoben sent someone to guard the door to prevent anyone from approaching.
After everyone sat down, I said to Chen Jinnan: "Master, I heard that you are leaving Beijing today. Is it true?" Chen Jinnan said: "Yes, something has happened in Taiwan and I need to go back to deal with it immediately. I will wait for it.
I am about to leave. I also want to take a few of your brothers from Qingmu Hall." I nodded and said, "Master, what happened in Taiwan is not easy to handle?" Chen Jinnan sighed and said, "Yes.
There's nothing difficult to handle. It's just that the Zheng family's mother-son feud is not a good thing for me in Taiwan."
I said: "Master, you are going to Taiwan just now. I have something to tell you." Xuanzhen and the others saw that Chen Jinnan and I had something to say, so they wanted to leave the table. I stopped everyone and said: "
You guys drink slowly while Master and I talk in the back. Brother Qian, come here too."
Chen Jinnan said: "Xiaobao, I am going to Taiwan this time mainly to promote this book. If you have time, you can also come and have a meeting with fans and so on. Maybe you can gain some insights.
