Volume 3 Chapter 8 Meeting the Beauty Under the Moon
Xiaolian looked at me and said leisurely: "She is really lucky to be able to do things with you. I just regret that I have no ability and can't help you." I kissed her on the face and said: "Who said anything about you?
If you don't help me, Huafeng Tower is counting on you. I go out to do errands and I don't have any money. So, what you do is very important." Xiaolian said: "Actually, I didn't do anything.
, it’s all shopkeeper Li who’s doing the work, and I’ve only been visiting occasionally in the past few months.”
I said: "That's fine. With you watching, Old Man Li won't dare to play tricks." Xiao Lian said: "Shopkeeper Li sends money every month, which adds up to more than two million taels. Also,
That Zhang Debiao can also send 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a month." I nodded and said, "Just buy whatever you need, don't hurt yourself." Xiaolian said, "I am a woman, how much money can I use?"
"My husband, you are working outside and have many places to use your money, so I will keep them all for you."
I laughed and said, "What a silly girl."
After chatting with Xiaolian for a while, I saw that she was in a much better mood, so I took the opportunity to say: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. When we met, we just talked and didn't pay attention to whether you have gained weight or lost weight. Hehe, let's go there.
Let me check the inner room." Xiaolian was so embarrassed that she blushed and said, "How could it be possible in broad daylight..." Before she could finish speaking, I picked her up and walked quickly into the bedroom.
, hooked his feet and closed the door, and in a moment the two of them rolled onto the bed.
After the fierce battle, the sky had darkened. I felt hungry and unbearable, so I asked Xiaolian to hold a banquet in the hall. I called Shuang'er and Wenjuan to come out. Everyone sat down, but they saw that Rong'er hadn't come back yet. After waiting for a long time, they still didn't see her.
After returning, he didn't want to neglect Shuang'er, so he exchanged cups with the other girls and started drinking.
Wenjuan was not good at speaking, but Xiaolian and Shuang'er were very friendly with each other. Shuang'er had a kind and honest temperament, which made Xiaolian like her. The more the two of them talked, the more they became more and more congenial, and they even left me aside. I saw it in my eyes.
, I am happy in my heart, it seems that this test has been passed.
After the banquet was over, I still didn't see Rong'er back, so I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. I left the three ladies to talk to themselves, and ran to the front yard to wait. It was getting darker and darker, and there were a few maids.
Led by a woman, they held lamps in various places in the garden. After a while, there was light everywhere. When they came closer, we recognized the woman guarding the ground, but it was Nashan, the daughter of the worshiper.
.
So she walked up and said, "Shanshan." Nashan should have seen me a long time ago, otherwise she wouldn't have lit up all the lights in other places. She finally came to where I was standing. Nashan heard
I called her, glanced at me, walked up to me holding a lantern, lowered her head and said, "What are your orders, sir?"
Seeing that she was so interested in me, I felt a little cold. I wanted to say something, but I didn't know how to say it. I raised my eyes and looked at the girls behind her. Those girls seemed to understand. They immediately lowered their heads and retreated.
Seeing the girls retreating far away, I muttered: "Shanshan, how are you doing?" Nashan trembled and said, "My mistress treats me very well." I said, "Xiaolian has a gentle temperament.
Of course I won't treat you badly. I'm asking how you are doing, are you happy?"
Nashan turned her head to one side and said, "How can you be happy if you open your eyes to do things and close your eyes to sleep?" I sighed and said, "Shanshan, you are still blaming me." Nashan wiped her eyes.
, said: "You are not wrong. I don't blame anyone. I only blame myself for my misfortune."
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, you can change." Nashan looked up at me and said, "How do you change? Can I be your concubine?" I didn't expect that she would say so directly and change my mind.
When Zi said it, he was immediately at a loss and said: "Well...this...I'm not..."
Nashan stared at me, the way she looked at her, I didn’t have the courage to say anything anymore. Nashan looked at me for a long time, finally sighed, shook her head and said: "It’s useless. Although you are not wrong, my father deserves it. But.
After all, I am his daughter, and you and I have a grudge against killing my father. Even if I have no desire for revenge, I cannot follow you."
I raised my head to the sky and slowly closed my eyes. My heart was in a mess. Yes, in this era, father and son, monarchs and ministers, have very different laws. This is an insurmountable gap. She and I have a grudge against her father.
Although her father is hated by everyone in the world, if she follows me, she will still be reviled by everyone in the world. Is it possible that we are really destined to have no connection with each other?
I was silent for a long time, and Nashan whispered: "If there is nothing else, I will leave." I opened my eyes and saw her about to turn away, and I felt excited and shouted: "Shanshan.
" He stepped forward and grabbed her hand.
Nashan trembled all over, and the lantern in her hand fell to the ground. It was extinguished immediately, and her eyes were filled with darkness. I pulled her back hard with my hands, and held her in my arms. Unexpectedly, Nashan was held in my arms.
, she actually didn’t make a sound or resist, no matter what she was thinking, she could only hold her for a while.
After a long time, I heard Nashan sobbing. I was surprised. I put my hands on her shoulders and stepped back. In the moonlight, I saw tears all over Nashan's face. I reached out and brushed the tears away from her face.
, and gently held her in his arms, caressing her back, searching for words to say to her.
But Nashan suddenly pushed me away and cried: "It's impossible, this can't be done." After saying that, she turned around and ran away, hiding in the garden for a moment. Looking at her disappearing back, I felt heartbroken and cried secretly that it was a pity.
, such a beautiful girl, but I can only watch with eager eyes. If I really use some means to take her down, wouldn't it make her feel uneasy all the time.
At this time, a light came towards where I was. I went to meet her, but it was Rong'er. I don't know when they came back. I was standing not far from the gate. I didn't know she was coming back. When I saw Rong'er,
I said, "Xiaobao, why are you here? It's easy for us to find you." I said, "I've been waiting for you here. Why didn't I see you enter the garden?" Rong'er said, "We left.
There are several carts of stuff at the side entrance, and there is no room for cars at the front entrance." I said, "How many carts? Mr. Qian is going to rebel and buy so many muskets."
Rong'er said: "It's not all guns, there are other things." When I heard this, I became interested and said: "Let's take a look and see what else the old money has got." I led Rong'er and walked quickly towards
I walked to the backyard. As I walked, I asked: "Why did you go there for so long? I was worried to death. I thought something had happened to you." Rong'er said: "I don't know why, but Brother Qian was very angry when we just went there.
He wants to explain to me that he wants me to manage the accounts, so that he can free up more time to do the things you asked him to do."
I laughed and said: "This old man is really smart." Rong'er said: "What's wrong?" I said: "It's okay, he just makes me feel at ease." Rong'er said with an oh, "He's still there
He gave me a box of banknotes, saying they were for the expenses of our Qingmudang, and there was also money from you in it."
I took her hand and said, "This is a big burden, you have to do it well." Rong'er said, "I don't understand these things, I'm afraid I won't be able to do them well." I said, "If you don't understand, you can learn.
Well, ask Mr. Qian for advice. If you can't find it, go to Li Yapeng. He is also good at this."
Rong'er said: "I have met Shopkeeper Li, and he is also a smart man."
After turning two corners, I saw several cars parked on the road. The cars were piled with boxes, and a dozen big men were surrounding them, all brothers of the Tiandihui. Qian Laoben saw me coming up to greet me and said, "Xiang
Lord, everything has been brought here. There are more than 20 boxes of muskets and some other rare things from the red-haired devil. Where can I put them?" I said, "Whatever you are doing here, take them to the backyard." Mr. Qian
Ben glanced at the backyard and said: "We are all rough guys, this... this is just inconvenient."
I laughed and said, "My backyard is full of pretty girls. Is it possible that I ask them to drive the car and carry the boxes?" Qian Laoben said, "Don't dare, don't dare."
We drove the carriage to the backyard, sent the people away, dug a hole in the backyard for the twenty boxes of muskets, and buried them. The other boxes were moved to the hall, and when people left, Qian Laoben opened the boxes one by one.
Looking at them one by one, they were all clocks and watches, binoculars and other gadgets. The workmanship was quite exquisite. He said, "Mao Honggui is quite good at it. The flowers, birds and figures carved on this clock are no worse than our craftsmen from the Qing Dynasty."
"Yes." Mr. Qian said, "Yes, Mr. Xiang, please look at this again." As he said this, he took out an exquisite wooden sailing boat from a small box.
I took it in my hand, looked at it from side to side, and said: "Yes, it is really exquisitely made, just like the real thing." Qian Laoben said: "This ship is built in the shape of a Dutch warship. Look at these two sides.
They are all cannons." I nodded and said with a smile: "I have learned a lot, brother Qian, do you think it is their Dutch warships that are more powerful, or our warships." Qian Laoben scratched his head and said: "This belongs to
I don’t know what happened next. I heard from the brothers who came back that our Taiwanese warships are a bit like the Dutch red-haired ghost ships.”
I said: "I heard that Taiwan's navy is very powerful. It seems that this red-haired ghost's ship is more powerful." Qian Laoben said: "That's natural. Otherwise, how could our Taiwan navy attack the Qing's warships?"
I don’t dare to go to sea anymore.” I laughed, put the wooden boat back in the box, and said, “The Taiwan Navy belongs to their Zheng family, not our Heaven and Earth Association.”
Mr. Qian said: "Our Tiandi Society and Taiwan's Zheng family are not the same thing." I laughed and said: "You think they are the same thing, but others don't think so. Otherwise, Master would always be angry with his Zheng family."
Qian Laoben sighed: "If the chief rudder doesn't talk about these things, everyone knows what's going on. Even though we are angry, we can't say it in front of the chief rudder."
I patted his shoulder and said, "Forget it, don't worry about this. I like this little wooden boat. Do you have any more? Send me a few more."
Mr. Qian said: "We brought back five in total this time, and I will send them all to the incense owner tomorrow." I said, "I can't get enough of them. You can just send two more."
