Republic of China small businessman

Xie Jing was young and hot-blooded, with a pot of wine, tossing all night.

The medicine prepared by the doctor had been delivered to the door of the room, Master Jiu turned away the others, and no one was allowed to wait around, but he brought a bowl in, but failed to feed a few drops of medicine soup into Xie Jing's mouth.

The medicine bowl was placed on the table, and it was completely cooled.

There was no light in the room, only the dark curtain of the bed obscured the two figures on the bed.

Master Jiu's clothes were still intact, only a button had been bitten off at the neckline, and it was opened a little. He half-lyed there and held Xie Jing in his arms, holding Xie Jing's head with his big hand and rubbing it twice as if to comfort him.

Xie Jing rode on him and slid down like a boneless one.

Master Jiu picked him up twice before he sat still.

Xie Jing couldn't bear it, but Master Jiu was afraid that he would hurt his body due to his youth, so he didn't allow him to come any more, and held hands, he couldn't even do it himself.

Xie Jing begged him in a low voice, one after another, and finally only knew how to call him.

It's like a trapped beast asking for help, but even so, it knows how to draw its sharp claws and dare not hurt its master.

Jiu Ye got close to him, rubbed against the tip of his nose, breathed next to each other, breath overlapped, and kissed the place closest to the peak of his lips in the most ambiguous gesture.

But it didn't land on the soft lips.

Just as Master Jiu was about to leave, Xie Jing tugged him, pressed the tip of his nose against him, tilted his head slightly and kissed him.

He didn't know how to kiss, and he didn't know what to do, he just kissed indiscriminately, making a grunt in his throat.

Master Jiu pinched the back of his neck, hugged him gently, and comforted him for a long time. After Xie Jing let go, he kissed his forehead again, and said with his arms: "It will be fine in a while."

The person in his arms started biting the buttons of his clothes again.

Like dissatisfaction, but also like begging for mercy.

……

Master Jiu made one last bit of restraint.

But still failed.

He could stop it halfway, or at least get up and leave by himself, but he couldn't, he could only be dragged along by the person in his arms.

Except for the last step, basically everything that can be done has been done.

Bai Jiu never imagined that there are such happy things in the world, no need to do anything else, just clenching his fingertips, just brushing his lips unintentionally on his cheeks, can make his heart beat like a drum-his age, Not a few years older than Xie Jing, usually because of the complicated affairs, and I have no interest in these things, but after tasting it today, it is like planting a seed in my heart, breaking through the hard flesh and blood, and growing on the apex of my heart. A touch of bud.

One night of absurdity, the sky turned white.

After Bai Jiuye woke up, he stretched out his hand and subconsciously touched his side. He only touched the cool pillow mat, and his newly opened eyes gradually regained clarity.

He didn't drink any alcohol last night, and his memory is very clear.

What Xie Jing did, and what he himself did, he remembered clearly.

It's like walking to the morning fog, and it's like falling into the evening clouds.

When I was the happiest, I saw myself in the eyes of the boy in my arms.

He bowed his head and kissed Xie Jing.

Not only the forehead, the tip of the nose, but also the soft lips.

He still remembers his Xiao Xie, who is in charge, like a blank sheet of paper, who doesn't understand anything and only knows how to ask him for help, hugging him no matter what, he refuses to let go, the chick is nostalgic, that's all.

Master Jiu sat up, touched his lips lightly with his fingers, and after a while he called someone in hoarsely.

People from the east courtyard came in and greeted in a low voice, "Master, do you want to take a bath and eat?"

Master Jiu didn't answer, but only asked, "Where did Jing'er go?"

The other party bowed and said, "Mr. Xie went out early in the morning and left a letter." As he spoke, he took out a thin letter from his sleeve and handed it to Master Jiu, without daring to lift his eyes to take a look.

Master Jiu reached out to take it, opened it, and realized that Xie Jing had gone down the mountain and left. He only said that he would go back to Qinghe County to visit relatives for Grandma Kou, and he would come back in a few days.

Master Jiu closed his eyes, and the words that he wanted to arrest people reached his mouth several times before he swallowed them down, without saying anything.

The bed in the bedroom was messy, and Jiuye's clothes were also messy. The people who were waiting on the side wanted to hang their heads to their chests, and they didn't dare to breathe.

There was a wind outside, and the windows shook and creaked.

The man turned his head and took a look. Seeing the window was wide open, he habitually wanted to close it.

Master Jiu said: "Don't move."

"Ah, yes." The waiter stretched his hand halfway and then retracted it. The morning mountain breeze was a bit chilly. The man thought about it and whispered: "But aren't you afraid of the cold..."

Master Jiu looked up at the half-open window.

Xie Jing opened the window when she left in the morning, and the smell dissipated, and there was nothing to smell.

Even if he was so shy that he ran away early in the morning, he still remembered to make the finishing touches for him, half opened the window, and rolled up the soiled sheets and stuffed them aside.

From the very beginning, his Jing'er was all about him.

Master Jiu glanced over, raised his eyes slightly and asked, "When did Jing'er leave?"

"Steward Xiao Xie went out early in the morning, went to the stable to get Bai Shishi, and rode out of the city all the way, sir, do you want me to find him back?"

Master Jiu closed his eyes and didn't speak for a while.

On the other side, on the road in Qinghe County.

The mountains are rainy, and the vegetation is green.

A light rain fell in autumn, and the forests and trees seemed fresh and bright after being washed. The young man rode by, and with a light crackle of the whip, there was a crisp sound. The white horse ran harder and harder, and its long mane was in the air Spread out the undulations.

Xie Jing wore a new navy blue dress, tidied up neatly, her eyes as dark as ink were clear, without any confusion.

He was in a very happy mood at the moment, and the stuffy air that had been accumulated in his lungs was exhaled. There was a bit of a bite mark on his lips, but he couldn't help but rise.

Jiuye still struggled a little last night, if he stayed, he would feel a little uncomfortable, why not run away for a few days, avoid the limelight, and come back to continue flirting.

He can feel it.

Master Jiu is still infatuated with him as always, his hands were as warm as before last night, if he teases him a few more times, the matter will be settled.

Although it was a year or two earlier than before, Xie Jing couldn't help smiling when he thought of that person, and the name turned around in his mouth, and his heart felt sweet.

Xie Jing rode fast and shortened the distance.

He deliberately went to the location of the Bai family business along the way, stayed overnight and had dinner, and wrote down the name of the guards of the East Hospital, and asked them to report it to Master Jiu, so that Master Jiu could feel at ease.

When Xie Jing arrived in Qinghe County, Bai Mingyu was already waiting at the city gate, and when he saw him coming, he immediately stepped forward to meet him.

Xie Jing was travel-laden, didn't even drink his saliva, got off the horse and only turned his head to ask someone to feed Bai Shishi, then turned his head and got on Bai Mingyu's carriage, and rushed to Heihe.

Bai Mingyu had already prepared food for him in the car, and while letting Xie Jing eat it, he told him about the situation in the past few days, speaking excitedly: "Xiao Xie, it's exactly as you calculated, there are many foreign businessmen coming from Heihe , They wanted to rent a boat, but my elder brother did not agree, now the small boats in the upper reaches of the Heihe River are not counted, only half of the freighters are in the hands of our Bai family."

Xie Jing nodded: "These are enough." He was eating, and he was just running on the road, and he was really hungry.

Bai Mingyu told him about the current situation again, and discussed: "I think this business is too big. Our family's boat is not enough. Xiaoxie, what do you think if you include the chamber of commerce?"

"Chamber of Commerce?"

After Bai Mingyu pondered, he said to him: "Yes, the Chamber of Commerce of the Three Provinces of the Northland, Master Jiu has given his name, and now my elder brother is taking care of it. The Bai family has half of the boats, but if it is the Chamber of Commerce, all the boats in Heihe will be Ours, didn’t Master Jiu say before that the Qian family can’t make enough money, especially foreigners’ money, it’s better for us to get a big pen—” He stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, looked at the question on Xie Jing’s lips Said, "Why did your mouth break?"

There was a tooth mark on Xie Jing's lips, he didn't care at all, he licked it twice and said: "I accidentally bit on something while eating, it's okay, you can continue talking."

Bai Mingyu believed it, and continued to talk to Xie Jing in a low voice: "I plan to go to the other side in person, my elder brother gave me two good hands, and I have some contacts with businessmen from Russia, and the prices of wine in several cities over there are different. It’s not the same, the farther north you go, the higher the price, and the difference can be more than ten times.”

Xie Jing has never heard of this matter. In his previous memory, he only remembered that the Japanese businessman tossed something in Heihe, bought shochu at a low price, and then sold it to the other side at a high price. Except for the late shopkeeper Sun, he only remembered that The Japanese businessman's name, the original plan was just to stare at the other party and replace him whenever he made a move, but what Bai Mingyu said was far deeper than this.

Bai Mingyu planned to go to Russia in person to do a big business. He has been with Master Jiu for almost three years, and he has been influenced by his ears and eyes. He is no longer the old Wu Xia Ameng.

In addition to being reckless, he also has more talents and knowledge.

Bai Mingyu was originally a bold person, but now with the backing of Master Jiu, he became more and more courageous in Heihe, and when he spoke, his eyes shined brightly.

Xie Jing took a bite of the steamed bun and chewed slowly. He raised his eyes to look at Bai Mingyu, probably knowing why Master Jiu chose this person.

Master Jiu wants to take care of the overall situation and take care of everything, but Bai Mingyu is reckless and a pusher.

Only such a bold person can create a new world in troubled times.

Master Jiu chose him to take him to the provincial government, not to restrain him, but to lend him more courage.

After Bai Mingyu finished speaking, Xie Jing nodded and said, "Second young master is farther ahead than I thought. I'll listen to you, but I don't know Russian, so I can't go with you. I'm waiting for news in Heihe." He couldn't tell about the Japanese businessman. , Always pay attention to one or two things before you can rest assured.

Bai Mingyu said: "Okay, then you can stay with the eldest brother, I can find you if I need anything."

Xie Jing: "How to find it?"

Bai Mingyu: "I've already asked someone to investigate in advance. There is a narrow bend in the lower reaches of the Heihe River. If there is no fog, you can see people walking on both sides. It is desolate there, and there are no people there on weekdays. I asked someone who is proficient in semaphore to guard it." Then, when the time comes, the semaphore will be used as a signal, just wait for my news."

Xie Jing: "Okay."

Bai Mingyu was satisfied, and he didn't know why. Seeing Xie Jing nodding in agreement, he felt that the matter was half done, and his confidence doubled.

When they arrived in Heihe, Bai Mingyu took Xie Jing to find his eldest brother Bai Mingzhe, and didn't say much, only vaguely saying that he was sent by Master Jiu.

Bai Mingyu was courageous and dared to lie to his elder brother, Xie Jing was also courageous, he stood there with his hands behind his back and recognized his identity without changing his face.

One of them loves him because of his elder brother, and the other is not polite at all because of Jiu Ye's favor.

Bai Mingzhe believed it was true and arranged for Xie Jing to stay overnight.

At night, Bai Mingyu gave Xie Jing a box of ointment for him to apply on his lips.

Xie Jing glanced at it and put it aside, it was useless.

The provincial capital, the East Courtyard of the Bai Family.

Jiu Ye received the news from along the way, and the words were twisted in his throat several times, and finally changed his mind, and lowered his eyes and said: "Forget it, let him go out for a few days, and come back when he thinks clearly."

Someone from outside reported: "Master Jiu, something happened in Jingshui Lane."

Master Jiu said impatiently: "What's the matter again!"

"Liu Ruyi ran away—"

Master Jiu raised his eyes, his eyes were filled with anger, he patted the table beside him and said, "Cao Yunzhao is still going to leave this group of people, come on, bring all those people from Jingshui Lane here, don't leave any of them today, everyone Sent!"
