Chapter four hundred and eighty-ninth brother
On the banks of the Fujiang River, houses are successively built, and several carriages are parked on the streets. Some of the staff are wandering around here.
The sun in May was already a bit vicious. Chen Congwen held a small umbrella that could not cover his entire body and politely bargained with several outsiders.
Because it was during the war, Chen Congwen knew the preciousness of time, and after getting off the boat, he had not yet found a house to settle down, so he directly took the butler to find several owners in Huihelang area, bought the land and started building a workshop.
The chief clerk of the Diankui Si and the craftsmen took the design drawings that had been conceived for two years, pointed around and bought them. The Hei Yuwei took the paint and ran to the wall to draw a "fork". Then the Western Shu bandits ran over with hoes and picks to tease them. The stone and wood had been pulled over, and the plasterers followed and began to build various buildings day and night.
Although the soil drys quickly in summer, this giant arsenal that costs nearly one million taels and covers an area of 100 acres will definitely not be able to be put into production in less than two months. As for copper and iron raw materials, there is copper ore in the southern part of Shu. As long as it stands at the Fourth Chuanxia Road, it will be basically inexhaustible.
Chen Congwen was walking around the street and was discussing with several foreigners. A horse ran from the street. There was a petite girl sitting on it, holding an official knife in her hand, with a murderous look on her face.
Most women in Shu are heroic, and Xie Yijun is an example. It is not surprising that the people on the streets are there. Several old men are sitting under the eaves to enjoy the cool air, grinning and cheering.
Chen Congwen held up a small umbrella and looked at it for a few times, then shook his head a little unhappy, asked several officials to take a break first, walked up and said, "Yu'er, who made you angry again? I'll give it to you for your brother..."
"Shen Lao Er, you bastard, have you given me to the Cao person?!"
Chen Yu rode a horse and ran to the front, holding a heavy official sword, staring at Chen Congwen fiercely.
Chen Congwen is too big and standing on the street, just looking straight at Chen Yu, who is riding on a horse, looks a bit funny.
The soldiers, craftsmen and officials around him laughed happily when they saw a little girl who was fierce and taught a lesson with a tall and powerful young master Chen.
Chen Congwen knew the girl's temper and used a small umbrella to hide Chen Yu's sunshine, but said helplessly:
"Yu'er, don't talk nonsense..."
Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and before he could speak, he heard a sentence:
"...I haven't sent it out, I don't want it."
"What!!"
Chen Yu was stunned and looked at his biological brother with a knife, but he couldn't speak for a long time.
Chen Congwen lifted the girl off the horse with one hand and put it on the street, frowned slightly:
"Yu'er, there are so many people around you, you are more steady. Everyone knows it in Bianjing. If you get to Chengdu and get rid of your reputation, you will really not be able to get married..."
While speaking, Chen Congwen lowered his head, but saw Chen Yu's eyes turning red, his breathing slowly and rapidly, and he was about to cry.
Chen Congwen squatted down with difficulty and looked at the little girl: "Yu'er, why are you crying?"
Chen Yu held it in for a long time, lifted his embroidered shoes and stepped on Shen Congwen's boots:
"...It's too much to deceive people... Why don't he not give it for free...I'll settle the score with him...I've collected all the money..."
As he said that, he was about to go back.
Chen Congwen raised his hand to block the way and said earnestly: "Yu'er, don't be so anxious. Mr. Cao said that he had to talk to you in person. Why did you talk to him?"
Chen Yu pursed her lips, thought about it for a while, and then hummed, "He said you gave me to him and he accepted it."
"Isn't that all." Chen Congwen was too big and squatted and felt uncomfortable, so he simply sat on the street, holding a small umbrella: "I have accepted it, why are you still angry to do?"
"Who asked you to give me away? I'm not a thing...Bah—"
Chen Yu also squatted down on the street, like a small ball, with red eyes: "It's not that I can't get married, no one wants him to accept it for a while..."
Chen Congwen sighed: "As the saying goes, elder brother is like a father, I should have made the decision on this matter, I will give it all..."
"You are the second, not the eldest, why should you make the decision for me? I...I don't like him...I don't like him..."
"well..."
Chen Congwen used an umbrella to cover the sunlight and thought for a while: "For my brother's opinion, Mr. Cao still likes you very much."
"Hmm?" Chen Yu paused, turned his head and muttered slightly, "Don't talk nonsense, he... he likes the kind of bulging and squinting, and he always dislikes me. Besides, he likes me, but I don't have to like him..."
Chen Congwen touched his chin and analyzed carefully: "Yu'er, think about it, did Mr. Cao travel all the way to save you when he was in Muzhou?"
"...He went to save Sister Fei'er and brought me with me by the way. If I were alone, he would definitely be too lazy to pay attention to it and let me fend for myself..."
"...In Hangzhou, the shed collapsed and pressed you down. Did Mr. Cao come to save you, and his hands were injured..."
“…this is….”
"...Mr. Cao killed the late emperor and more than a dozen princes, and even the little prince with good relationships was killed. In this case, he asked the Marquis's mansion to settle the payment for our family in advance. What do you think is for?"
"...For...To separate the relationship with the Shen family..."
"...Wrong, if you don't pay the payment, you won't involve the Shen family, and we can't ask for the account. We pay it off because we are afraid of owing you and treating you as our own person..."
"...This only means that he is trustworthy in business..."
"... Besides, now Mr. Cao occupied Hangzhou, and he was the local emperor here. I gave money, craftsman, and married the girl to him for peace of mind. It was not the legitimate wife of the house, but he should accept it for the sake of his family's slightest incident, whether he had to confiscate it or not, do you know why?"
“…He looks down on me….”
"...Wrong! In this case, it has nothing to do with what you look like, even if you are an ugly monster..."
"...You are ugly..."
"...Okay, I'm ugly. Mr. Cao doesn't have to touch you if he accepts it. He puts it at home as an idle person and can't spend a million taels of silver in his life. If he doesn't agree, he treats you as his own person and allows you to decide your marriage by yourself. Look, I feel sorry for you. I only hate you for my brother that I am not a daughter, otherwise..."
Chen Yu looked disgusted and squatted and moved to the side: "You are covered in more than 300 kilograms of fat. If you are a daughter, you dare to mention this. The person named Cao must pry your head open to see what is inside."
"Isn't that all."
Chen Congwen slapped his knees and chuckled: "Mr. Cao said he would talk to you in person, so you can talk to him."
Chen Yu frowned with his little eyebrows and lowered his head weakly: "I...why should I talk to him..."
Chen Congwen became interested, and approached a little, and whispered:
"It's very simple to get along with young ladies.
You look for an opportunity to stroll in the garden and happen to meet Mr. Cao. Then you say, "The night is long and you have no intention of sleeping, and the master comes out to enjoy the moon?"
He would say, 'Yes, since Miss Chen is free, why not be together?'.
You agree, let the two of you talk about some poems and praise his "Shuitu Songtou". Remember to go to a remote place.
When you arrive at a secluded place, he will definitely hug you. If you resist a little, don’t really resist. If you want to refuse, you will still welcome you..."
Chen Yu looked panicked: "This...is not very good..."
“Yes, just say this, and then you look shyly.
After Mr. Cao hugged you, he would definitely say something stingy. Don’t scold others, and be shy and say something like “You are so terrified, you hate it.”
It's almost the same time, he must look at you, just close your eyes, and then..."
"Okay, okay, what a mess..."
