Chapter 101 "Narrow Family"
Three days later.
Midnight.
Bai Wuchang woke Chen Chunxing from his sleep.
"What's the matter? Tell me now. I'm your boss after all. Why am I acting like your little brother? Don't keep burning incense for me all day long. I don't need your incense..." He said, looked around, and suddenly changed the subject, "Xiao Xue isn't here?"
Chen Chunxing answered honestly: "Xiao Xue is the county magistrate now, and he is very busy."
Bai Wuchang nodded happily, "Being busy is good, being busy is good, being busy will prevent you from messing around... What I mean is, Xiao Su, you are lucky. Men in ancient times were prone to messing around, but Xiao Xue definitely wouldn't."
"..." Chen Chunxing: "I thank you on his behalf!"
No hesitation.
Tell him directly about Jiang's problem.
"What we're saying is, even though she messed around, she has good intentions. Can she be saved?"
Bai Wuchang's heart, which had just been relieved, was about to burst out of his throat. He jumped three feet high: "You think too highly of me, don't you? I am your superior, I have higher magic power, more experience, and I am smarter than you... but if you can avoid touching zombies, it's best not to touch them. It will damage your karma!"
Chen Chunxing suspected that a well-shaped character might appear on his forehead. He tried to restrain himself and spread out his hands: "I didn't ask you to touch me, I only asked you to save me."
Seeing that Bai Wuchang was about to shirk responsibility, she suddenly realized something and said in a difficult tone, "So Lord Bai has no other options. In that case, I'll go find Ah Huai. Can three cobblers save Jiang's life?"
"Don't! Don't look for him!" Bai Wuchang wiped his forehead with his sleeve. Seeing Chen Chunxing looking at him with a half-smile, he immediately realized that he had been impulsive and quickly tried to make amends, "I didn't say I couldn't do it. What's the point of looking for him? It will only cause more trouble."
"Well, for the sake of our being colleagues, I'll risk it... I'll ask the higher-ups for instructions and see if I can plead for mercy... There's probably no problem. Anyway, don't worry, and don't mess around!"
After saying that, I wanted to leave.
"I've finally figured it out. It's no good if you come to me! I won't come next time. If you have any questions, go find Lao He!"
Chen Chunxing looked at the disappearing figure and muttered, "Then you have to give me a chance to meet him..."
After He Liangpu took Xue Yongan's token, he had not appeared for a long time.
Besides him, there was another ghost.
I don’t know where to find the iron ore... Are you slacking off?
The days that followed.
The Shen family focused on their business. They set up their stall before dawn every day and returned home in the evening, trying their best to finish all the vegetables.
The same is true for the villagers in the narrow village.
Not long after.
"Xiao's Hot Pot" has become a hot topic passed on by word of mouth in Honglu County.
This is also thanks to Shen Mingqiu's suggestion.
What a cunning guy! Although he has never done business, he has seen a lot. He only uses a cover to leave a mysterious impression on the common people.
Family businesses are common these days, but it is less common to be able to expand the business everywhere. Add to that the confusing name "Zhao Shi", and it is enough to arouse everyone's curiosity.
No one would have thought that this "narrow" actually refers to the "narrow" of narrow village.
Just like no one would dare to believe that business could involve the entire village.
This is how the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed.
The joy of the Lantern Festival did not reach the narrow village at all. They were only concerned with making money and did not feel tainted by the smell of money at all.
It was almost closing time that night when Mao Ping came to find Chen Chunxing and said that the master had something important to discuss with him.
Diao Shi was still not over it and was not very willing to let her granddaughter stay overnight alone at the county government office. However, she had just finished her business for the past ten days, and when she returned she would not only have to settle her own small accounts, but also the big accounts of the entire village. How could she have the time to waste?
The old lady had no choice but to grit her teeth, grab Chen Chunxing and tell him: "You must remember, you are only thirteen!"
Chen Chunxing didn't roll his eyes to the sky.
I'm anxious for you, I'm worried about you too. It's so hard to be a granddaughter...
After getting on the carriage, we soon entered the city.
The county town was not as lively as the temple fair. The streets were still empty and there were few living people to be seen.
The joy of the countryside seemed unable to reach here, to this town devastated by war.
Chen Chunxing opened the curtains and was looking at something in a trance when he heard someone talking outside.
"Miss, aren't you curious about what the master has been busy with these days?"
She shook her head and said lazily, "Curiosity kills the cat. The more you know, the more likely you are to make mistakes. Ignorance is bliss."
Mao Ping was at a loss for words. After some thought, he gritted his teeth and continued, "Someone's coming from the military headquarters. This time they're not only recruiting soldiers, but also grain. Even our county's granary is already empty. I don't know what the master is going to do."
"What else can he do? If he has no food, he will naturally go to look for it."
"Finding food in the northern border is incredibly difficult... If the capital is willing to lend a hand, we might be able to get through this..."
Chen Chunxing lowered the curtain, a mocking smile appeared on his lips, and he said lightly: "Actually, I have always been curious, what exactly do you like about the master?"
According to Mao Ping, he was recruited into the mansion by "Xue Yongan" himself. Later, when he was banished from the capital, he took the initiative to dismiss his servants, but Mao Ping was the only one who was willing to follow him around.
This is very interesting.
"Miss, what you said is true. If possible, who would be willing to serve others? It's because my family is poor and I don't have any skills. The master treats me well, and I remember it in my heart. If I had stayed in the capital, I might not be better off now." Mao Ping answered sincerely.
At least Chen Chunxing didn't hear anything wrong, so he smiled and said no more.
It was evening and the sky was getting darker.
When he returned to the county government office, Ge Baoer was already waiting at the gate. When he saw the carriage, he immediately trotted over happily.
"Madam, you are back!"
Chen Chunxing stumbled and almost missed a step. When he stood on flat ground, he coughed hurriedly, "Call me Miss first!"
Ge Baoer happily agreed again.
She really likes this master...it's definitely not because of the delicious hot pot dishes that Miss Shen brought back a few days ago!
Entered the yard.
He happened to meet Xue Yongan who had just got off work. He waved and asked Chen Chunxing to enter the living room. He then dismissed everyone else and told Baoer to ask the cook to prepare some delicious dishes.
Ge Baoer went to the kitchen, looking back every few steps.
"What's the important thing?" Chen Chunxing sat down casually and played with the cup lid.
"Actually..." Xue Yongan pondered, unwrapping the gift box on the table, "It's nothing serious. Someone gave me some cakes from Liufangzhai today, and I thought I'd let you try some."
The gift box with a red background and gold foil is square and looks quite large, but inside it are only eight exquisite pastries as beautiful as Huadiao.
It looks good, but the taste is just average.
Liufangzhai is a well-known old brand in Beijing. It takes at least two months for things to be delivered here, and they will be moldy or rotten.
Chen Chunxing took just one bite and threw it away, saying in a hoarse voice, "They beat the salt seller to death, and it thinks candy is free... Did you come to me just to poison me?"
"I didn't mean that!" Xue Yongan quickly pushed the box away and raised his hand to swear, "Actually, I missed you..."
He even started to feel aggrieved: "Tell me, from the first to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, how many times did we meet and how many words did we say?"
Actually, there is still a chance.
After the Shen family finished their stall, they would almost always come here to sit for a while. However, Xue Yongan was busy with work and was always called away, so he always asked Shen Chunxing to wait for him.
But Chen Chunxing didn't wait.
Her past life was too long, and she had never tried to stop and wait. Now seeing him being as angry as a child, she couldn't help but raise her hands in amusement.
"Okay, okay, it's my bad!"
"Tonight, all night long, I'm yours..."
The little girl cast a mischievous glance at him, almost scaring the male ghost to death who appeared out of nowhere.
If he could die again!
Xue Yongan slammed the table expressionlessly, as if he was about to jump up to exorcise the demon!
"No, no! We're one family! Miss Shen, stop playing dumb... I found a mineral vein!"
