Hua Ye must understand that there is no way to seize territory without making a lot of troubles. No matter where he is at that time, if he breaks into it, he might be lucky enough to meet that group of traffickers. This is why Xu Zizhen has long planned to accept Hua Ye.
intention of.
In fact, as Xu Zizhen said himself, he is just a lazy person. Although he has a bit of a temper and likes to fight against injustices, it is really difficult for him to take care of this matter to the end. But there is nothing he can do now. In order to earn a living, he can only stay in the shelter first.
When I was working as an errand in the government office, I hadn’t thought of making mascara at that time.
Mr. Hua left with great ambition, and Xu Zizhen walked out with a smile. Duan Chen and Duan Yan were sitting in the lobby of the inn drinking tea, looking quite bored. When they saw him coming out, Duan Yan rushed over first.
He shouted: "Brother Zhen, you have fun and don't take me with you!"
Xu Zizhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm taking you with me even if I'm being taken over? What kind of bad taste do you have?"
Duan Yan snorted: "Who made you not come with us first? If my brother and I hadn't happened to see it, you would have been killed like a fish."
"If you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?" Xu Zizhen was still a little embarrassed about this and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, why don't you two go out for a walk?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Yan suddenly straightened his face and hummed: "Ask my brother." After saying that, he turned around and sat down again, pouting and spinning an empty teacup around.
"Huh? How angry is he?" Xu Zizhen looked at Duan Chen in a funny way. The elder brother was very magnanimous, but the younger brother was completely childish.
Duan Chen laughed loudly, asked Xu Zizhen to sit down, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Xu, Jiangnan singing and dancing has always been famous all over the world, so I want to go to Hongxiu tonight to gain experience. Naturally, I have to go there this afternoon.
I’m full of energy.”
"Red sleeve move? Where is this place?"
Duan Chen looked a little surprised: "Brother Xu, don't you know? This is the most popular brothel in Suzhou City and even the entire Jiangnan."
Xu Zizhen was suddenly enlightened and burst into laughter. No wonder Duan Yan was unhappy. It was obvious that it was because his brother did not take him there and left him to guard the house alone.
Duan Chen saw that he was smiling strangely and quickly clarified: "I didn't go there for the reputation of the fireworks. I just heard that there is a beautiful person who is famous all over the world. He is very good at playing, playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Calling her a talented woman, I just admire this wonderful woman who lives in the fireworks, and I have no other intention."
Xu Zizhen sneered: "Brother Duan, the so-called explanation is to cover up, and to cover up is to be dishonest. Isn't it just looking at pretty girls? I can understand."
Duan Chen's face turned red, but he sighed: "It's just that this strange woman is not that easy to see. It is said that she only sees guests twice a week, and each time she needs to be seen to be able to enter her boudoir and serve tea."
Xu Zizhen said disdainfully: "Hey! How can a joker still show off like this?"
Duan Chen smiled and said: "But even so, people who want to see her still flock to her every time. Many people say that if she can invite her into the inner room to serve tea, they would give up ten years of their life."
I have to say that Duan Chen's eloquence is good and his tone is very well adjusted. Xu Zizhen also became interested in these few words, but he didn't think about the so-called strange woman. He was thinking about another thing.
, which is the promotion of his mascara.
You must know that the promotion of an emerging thing requires some effort. In this era of limited information, word-of-mouth is the most mainstream and effective. And the beauty with red sleeves has such a high popularity, it is obviously an excellent medium. Besides, the brothel
Isn’t the local area also a consumer group for mascara?
Xu Zizhen had an idea as soon as he thought about it: "Brother Duan, what you said has made me a little curious. How about we get together tonight?"
"Miaoji, this is what I mean!" Duan Chen originally planned to trick him. As a foreigner, he came to Suzhou to visit the brothels. Even if he brought a thug with him, he was afraid of being tricked.
But Xu Zizhen was also afraid of being cheated. He was not a foreigner, but he was not as good as a foreigner. How did he visit the brothels in this dynasty? What were the rules? He was completely blind, but soon he thought of another person - Qian
Tongzhi, this kid has a pair of small squinty eyes that wander around all day long, and he's good at it at a glance.
He mentioned this idea to Duan Chen, and the two hit it off immediately. Seeing that it was already getting late, the two of them stopped drinking tea and stood up to go find Qian Tongzhi. When Duan Yan saw that the two of them were about to leave, Duan Yan had a small face.
It was as dark as a little stove prince. Duan Chen tried to coax him for a long time but to no avail.
Xu Zizhen smiled and coaxed: "Yan'er, you are such an adult, wouldn't it be nice to find a place to play by yourself? Brother Zhen will bring you some delicious food later?"
"No!" Duan Yan suddenly rolled his eyes, "You go to visit a brothel, and I'll go hang out with my beautiful sister. I don't believe she has the heart to leave me outside the door."
"Ah?" Xu Zizhen was stunned. Isn't this beautiful sister Mo Li'er? This boy said that he was already more than ten years old. What's going on when he went to a girl's house at night?
Unexpectedly, before he refused, Duan Chen nodded and agreed: "That's okay, then you can go and talk to Miss Mo. This will save you from wandering around and getting into trouble, but you are not allowed to say anything about our going to Hongxiu Zhao!
"
Xu Zizhen wanted to say no, but hesitated for a while and still didn't say anything. Anyway, the Mo Xie family was here, and the two of them would definitely be rushing to make the eyelash brush tonight, so this kid couldn't be dragged into being a free laborer if he ran away?
You asked for this!
The three of them immediately left the inn with the two attendants, and first sent Duan Yan to Xie Fuchun at Changmen. As soon as Mo Lier saw Xu Zizhen, she thought of the charming scene in the alley, and her face suddenly turned red again. Just listening to
Xu Zizhen said he wanted to send Duan Yan here temporarily, but she was stunned again.
Xu Zizhen pulled her over and whispered: "Anyway, my aunt is here, so please help me take care of this guy first. I have something to do in the evening, and can't I use him to make eyelashes? Anyway, this guy is also free.
fine."
Mo Li'er didn't have any objections and nodded obediently. She didn't ask him what he was doing in the evening. Xu Zizhen felt itchy again. Li'er was really a typical good wife and mother. Then she thought of going to the Hongxiu Restaurant in the evening.
Wow, I felt a rare sense of shame.
After making arrangements for Duan Yan, Xu Zizhen brought Duan Chen and the two attendants to the Suzhou government office. Qian Tongzhi was taking a nap in his room when Xu Zizhen woke him up. When he heard that he was going to the Red Sleeve Movement in the evening, he was immediately happy.
He jumped up, rummaged through the boxes and put on a pair of brand new clothes, then hung up a jade pendant and inserted a folding fan, and he looked like a human being.
Qian Tongzhi's parents died when he was young, and he stayed at his uncle's house ever since. However, he was not good at studying at all. Even though Wen Chengyan found several good teachers for him, he still failed to pass the exam, which led to
Now in his twenties, he is still white.
However, although he was not a man of letters or martial arts, he was born with a chivalrous heart and loved to fight against injustices just like Xu Zizhen. This comforted Wen Chengyan. At the Juzhan Exhibition that day, he saw Zhang Ling and other dudes bullying Xu Zizhen and couldn't help it.
He jumped out and later met Xu Zizhen in the government office. As a result, the two hit it off and became friends.
With him as a local snake as a guide to go to Hongxiu Zhao, Xu Zizhen and Duan Chen are naturally not afraid of being cheated. However, they are not busy going now. Xu Zizhen still has to discuss something with Mr. Lei.
When Capt. Lei saw Xu Zizhen, he was not surprised. Instead, he asked directly: "Do you have any plans to save those gangsters today?"
Xu Zizhen smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Lei Captou is indeed as bright as lightning." Then he told the story of accepting Hua Ye as his younger brother.
Jin Yuxi, who was listening to the excitement next to him, was startled: "Brother Xu, what are you doing?"
Xu Zizhen smiled mysteriously: "We haven't made a fuss yet, but I have to discuss something with Mr. Lei first. Starting tomorrow morning, I would like to ask Mr. Lei and his brothers to run an errand for me."
Captain Lei frowned: "Why are you running?"
Xu Zizhen said eloquently: "Tomorrow morning at 3 o'clock, I would like to ask the catcher and my brothers to secure the entire Loumen and Fengmen for me, and don't let the gangsters there come out."
"What do you mean? What do you want to do?"
"Because I want Mr. Hua to swallow them up one by one, take over Lou, Qi, and Feng, and become the only gangster in Suzhou."
Lei Captou was shocked: "Brother Xu, you...what are you planning to do?"
Xu Zizhen smiled and said: "Lei Captou, let me ask you, are there more soldiers or thieves in Suzhou City? When I say thieves, I mean gangsters."
Lei Captou said: "Of course there are a lot of gangsters."
"That's it. If there is such a person, he is willing to take care of all the gangsters in Suzhou City for us. If you have any problem, you can just go to him surnamed Hua. Why not do it? In the future, if he
If he is too arrogant and forgets his boss’s last name, then he will be destroyed as usual. How can he be better than the government if he is just a gangster?”
Captain Lei felt that he couldn't keep up with Xu Zizhen's thinking rhythm. He frowned and thought for a long time, then slammed the table: "Okay, I'll do as you say!"
Xu Zizhen smiled: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Lei. Remember, it's Chenshi. Let Loumen out after two hours, and Fengmen after two hours."
Lei Captou and Jin Yuxi were speechless: "Are you planning to capture all of Suzhou in one day?"
Tomorrow, two major events are destined to happen in Suzhou City. One is that the upstart mascara in the makeup industry will be officially launched on the shelves, and the other is that Mr. Hua will become the only boss in Suzhou City. Both of these events have nothing to do with this newcomer to the Song Dynasty.
Xu Zizhen was related to Xu Zizhen for a few days. At this moment, Xu Zizhen seemed to have discovered his own value.
