Republic of China small businessman

The people following at a distance couldn't see the figure of the old and the young, and they were walking a few steps in a hurry, looking around, and bumped into the rightful owner head-on.

The man was guilty, subconsciously turned around and wanted to run, Xie Jing didn't wait for him to move, and with a soft whip on his wrist, he rushed towards the opponent's eyes first!

The man was taken aback, he never thought that the young man looked at Mian Shan and struck so fiercely, he took two steps back to block with his hands, but he didn't want the whip to make a feint, and he was kicked a few times, all punched The joints on his body are gone, if the bones are not hard, the bones of the legs may be broken!Even so, he half-knelt down with a muffled grunt.

The moment Xie Jing started, a lean and capable short man suddenly jumped out from the side, wearing the coarse cloth clothes that country people often wear. At first glance, he looked like a farmer, but when he showed his posture, he knew it was a Lianjia son.Xie Jing didn't know that there were still people, so his expression changed for a moment, and he pushed the kneeling man down first, and stretched his hand behind his waist to pick out the guy——

In a blink of an eye, the two of them restrained the follower on the ground at the same time.

The thin man who suddenly appeared was holding down the man, with a sickle pinned to his waist, and a little soil was still stained on his coarse cloth clothes, but his mouth was callused, and he cut the opponent's wrists behind his hands and pressed his knees against his knees; thank you Jing's whip wrapped around the man's neck on the ground, and he pulled it up, holding the gun in his hand, and the muzzle of the black hole was already pointed at the short man's head.

The man was not afraid of being pointed at by a gun, he raised his eyes and said a code word to Xie Jing.

Xie Jing said: "From the east courtyard? This gentleman is new to me, and I have never seen it before."

The short man had a dark complexion and a simple and honest face. He grinned and said, "Yes, it's normal that I haven't seen us. I'm not in the courtyard on weekdays, and I only listen to Master Jiu's orders."

Xie Jing: "Master asked you to follow?"

"Well, last time I had a bit of trouble with those Orientals, my lord told us to follow Guan Xie quietly, just in case something happens."

Xie Jing moved his gun, the man turned his head and whistled at the corner, Xie Jing saw two other people in the corner, both dressed as hawkers who had just entered the city to sell vegetables, they were very inconspicuous, if they hadn't heard the whistle Quickly got up and left, Xie Jing didn't even notice.

The man said in a low voice: "If something goes wrong here, someone must go and answer Master Jiu."

Xie Jing nodded, and the gun in his hand fell to the head of the man who was pressing on the ground with a "click" again. The muzzle of the gun was pressed, and he squinted and asked, "Who are you, who sent you here?"

The follower on the ground was so entangled with the whip that he couldn't breathe, his face was flushed red and he was desperately thumping, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words.

Before Xie Jing could hear it clearly, she suddenly heard the sound of glass smashing not far behind. Looking up, she saw Grandma Kou picking up stones from the side of the road and smashing the glass of a shop by the road. The shop owner came out in a hurry, The old lady was talking to him anxiously.The boss repeatedly shook his head and refused to take a step, so he just dismissed the man and ran all the way south.

Xie Jing glanced at it, and said in a low voice: "I'm going to call someone from the patrol room, you go first."

The man at the side responded, and said again: "Master, it's not convenient to shoot in the city, why don't I come here." He spoke little, but struck hard, and the knuckles on his hand were about to stab the back of the opponent's neck. It will kill you in one hit!

Xie Jing moved his gun down to stop him, and said in a deep voice, "Remove his arm, save him alive—"

The man was obedient, he took off the opponent's arm, and when he saw Grandma Kou running towards him, he didn't say anything, covered his face with a bamboo hat, picked up the fish basket on the ground and ran away immediately.

Xie Jing quietly put away the gun, and tied up the man on the ground. The man was so painful that he was about to pass out, his arms were limp and hanging down.

Grandma Kou picked up a stone from the side of the road and ran over with it. Seeing the person who was about to smash it on the ground, Xie Jing stopped her and said, "Grandma, it's okay, I'm just a thief."

Grandma Kou was so frightened that her voice was still trembling, she looked at Xie Jing up and down, "I really can't run, and when I think of you being caught, I'm so scared that I can't care about anything..." The old lady wiped her tears and went to touch Xie Jing again. Xie Jing's arm, check where he is injured, "Why is there blood on Jing'er's arm, but where is it hurt, huh?"

Xie Jing comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, it's not my blood."

The people tied up on the ground heard Grandma Kou's voice and suddenly called her.

Grandma Kou froze for a moment, went to look at the man, but was protected by Xie Jing, Xie Jing said: "Stay away, grandma."

The man struggled to look at Grandma Kou, with cold sweat on his forehead, and spoke to Grandma Kou with a not-so-clean foreign accent: "Tuojiang... ten or eighteen poles, go to the city to thank the family..."

Grandma Kou held Xie Jing's arm tightly, and said "ahhh", the old lady walked up to the other party and said a few words to him, asking him about his house, but the man's accent was unclear for a while, Xie Jing listened carefully After a while, I realized that the other party was speaking with a Xichuan accent.

Xie Jing once went south to Yunnan and Guizhou. Xichuan is adjacent to Guizhou, and his accent is similar, so he can vaguely understand it.

Grandma Kou has been in the Northland for many years, but she can understand the other party's words, but she still uses Mandarin when she answers. After asking a few words, it is almost confirmed that it is someone sent by Xichuan Xie's family.

Xie Jing stepped forward to untie him, and raised his hand to connect his arm. The man snorted, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He raised his eyes and stared at Xie Jing for a while, and asked tentatively, "Grandma, this is you." The kid you were talking about?"

Grandma Kou said, "Yes, this is Miss's child."

Xie Jing gathered the soft whip while looking at him, and said in a low voice after meeting his eyes, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood, the world is not peaceful now, so be careful."

Before the man could speak, he heard Grandma Kou complaining from the side: "That's right, did you receive the letter? It's fine if you don't reply to the letter. Why did you do it as soon as you came? My Jing'er has never killed a chicken since I was a child." However, don’t be afraid to frighten the children!”

Xichuan people: "..."

If it weren't for the pain in his arms and the feeling of being hit by a gun just now on his head, he would have believed it.The young master in front of me is beautiful, why is it that the more beautiful the person, the more ruthless he is?

Xie Jing took the man back to the small restaurant.

Grandma Kou closed the door, took Xie Jing and sat in the room with him to talk.

The Xichuan man's name is Hu Da, who was sent by the Xie family to look for Grandma Kou. Grandma Kou's letters were mailed out several times. Although the Xie family in Xichuan did not receive all of them, they did get the letters. The current head of the Xie family is very cautious. There was no reply, and a trusted and reliable person was sent to check the authenticity.

Grandma Kou said: "But since you are here, you just say hello, why are you sneaking around?"

Hu Da said: "The family has received similar letters one after another over the years. The head of the family is afraid of fraud, but he is not at ease, so he asked me to go there personally."

Grandma Kou sighed and said, "That's right, the young master has become the head of the family now, and he has his own difficulties. We haven't contacted each other for more than ten years. When a letter comes over suddenly, he will naturally have to check it out. It's better to be careful." .”

Hu Da said: "It really can't be careless." He raised his head and glanced at Xie Jing, his eyes fell on the handsome face somewhat similar to the Patriarch's, and he hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said: "Because the Shanghai Stock Exchange , something happened."

Grandma Kou wanted to ask more questions, but the other party refused to say any more.

Xie Jing had been quiet all this time, but at this moment she spoke the first sentence in a flat voice: "Grandma, since you are sent by Xichuan, please treat me well, you go to the front and say something, and prepare some wine and food for the evening."

Grandma Kou agreed and went.

Xie Jing was playing with a dagger in his hand, and sat there without leaving, "How long has Mr. Hu been in Beidi?"

Hu Da swallowed, looked up carefully at Xie Jing who was wiping the dagger, and quickly retracted his eyebrows and whispered: "Don't dare to be a sir, just call me Hu Da. I have been here for two days, I didn't expect to be able to When I met grandma and the young master, I looked familiar at first, but I only saw the photos, so I was not sure for a while, so I wanted to follow up to make sure. The young master has good eyesight and recognized me immediately. The young master and the head He was very similar when he was young, and his kung fu is good, if he comes back to Xichuan, he will definitely be the right arm of the head of the family."

Xie Jing circled the dagger and put it back into its sheath.

The man's words are half-truths and half-truths.If you only come for two days, why do you follow Grandma Kou when you see him?If you really want him to go back, why is it that you are trying to be on guard with the usual tricks and temptations?

Xie Jing glanced at him with calm eyes: "Oh? Is the Xichuan Xie family very powerful."

Hu Da was stunned for a moment, "Didn't grandma tell you?"

Xie Jing thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I heard that it is a big family, with a big courtyard and an orangery." Grandma talked about his mother, and Xie Jing only cared about these things.

Huda had a strange look on his face.

Xie Jing said: "Why, what grandma said is wrong, there is no orangery?"

Hu Da shook his head hastily: "Yes, yes, a large area on the mountain belongs to Xie's family."

Xie Jing chatted with him for a while, saw that this man was honest, got up and was about to leave, when he passed by Hu Da, he suddenly bent down and said coldly: "You are older than me, let me call Brother Hu, how I offended you on the street today It's just that grandma has been at home and never went out, she doesn't know the dangers of the world outside, and she doesn't know my methods... Please also ask Brother Hu to keep it secret for me, so as not to scare the old man."

Hu Da only felt the hand on his shoulder exert a slight force, and subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Xie Jing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Thank you very much."

Hu Da bit the bullet and asked: "Dare to ask the young master, where is the high school now?"

Xie Jing said: "It's just a guard, it's just a business of licking blood on the tip of a knife."

Xie Jing went out on business, and called a doctor for Hu Da. He was also a doctor often invited by the White Mansion. He was used to showing injuries to the guards. He didn't ask where the bruises came from, and prescribed a few golden sore medicines for him. .

Seeing that the doctor was proficient, Hu Da tentatively asked, "Dare to ask, Xie Jing... what does he do?"

The doctor asked strangely: "Naturally, it belongs to the guards. Why, you don't even know what the master's family does when you visit relatives and friends?"

Hu Da's face was embarrassing, and he didn't ask any more questions.

Before Grandma Kou's food and drinks were ready, Hu Da took her leave and left after serving the medicine, watching her hurry.

Xie Jing went to deal with the matter on the street. Grandma Kou was eager to save him during the day and smashed the glass of the shop to attract people. Xie Jing wanted to pay for the glass for her, but when she arrived, she was told that the Bai family had taken care of everything.

The shop owner patted his chest and said: "I was really scared in the afternoon. Your old lady is also amazing. She can lift such a heavy stone. I only have two glass doors in total, and I smashed them quite simply."

Xie Jing cupped her hands to apologize, but couldn't help laughing.

Grandma was eager to save people, but she was not too reckless, and she knew how to call for help. Xie Jing knew that she was protecting her wholeheartedly, and her heart felt warm.

Evening, East courtyard.

As soon as Xie Jing entered the yard, he ran into Manager Sun Fu head-on. Sun Fu looked him up and down and asked, "Why are you in such a mess? I heard that someone was arrested, but can you send it to the police station?"

Xie Jing shook her head and said: "It's a misunderstanding, I'll go change my clothes, and I'll talk to Master later."

As he was talking, he heard someone calling Xie Jing from the room, and Master Jiu was looking for him.

Xie Jing didn't have time to change his clothes, so he lifted the bamboo curtain and walked in. Seeing that Master Jiu frowned, he asked him to come over and asked, "Are you hurt?"

There was a little blood on Xie Jing's sleeve, she opened it for him to see, and said in a low voice, "No, it belonged to someone else, my master sent someone to protect me, so I didn't get hurt at all."

Master Jiu looked at it carefully, and then said: "What happened in Yugang before has caused a lot of people from the province in the past few days. I was a little worried, so I asked people to follow you."

Xie Jing smiled and said: "I know, I have to thank you more today."

Master Jiu pulled his arm, wanting him to get closer, Xie Jing put his hands on his shoulder and whispered: "Master, I haven't changed my clothes yet, I'm dirty."

Master Jiu didn't care about this, let him sit on his lap, held him in his arms for a while, and then sighed, "It's good that it's fine."

Xie Jing touched his cheek and rubbed it lightly.

After a while, Master Jiu asked, "Who is that man?"

Xie Jing: "It seems to be a relative from my hometown, but I'm not sure."

Master Jiu: "Why are you suspicious?"

"The other party received grandma's letter and sent someone to rush over, but I see, it doesn't look like someone who is leaving relatives." Xie Jing now lost the coldness of playing with daggers at home, and was a little careless, "He is also probing , as if he was afraid of going back with a fake one, he talked in a roundabout way, sir, I didn't want to recognize any relatives at first, if they don't want me, I don't want them either."

Master Jiu smiled and said, "They don't want it, but I want it."

He bowed his head and kissed Xie Jing, coaxing: "Perhaps there is something unspeakable, if you want, I will send someone to investigate for you."

Xie Jing nodded in agreement, and then heard Master Jiu ask: "You also learned how to smash glass from home?"

Xie Jing didn't understand, Master Jiu held his hand and asked slowly: "When I was in Heihe, who smashed the glass upstairs?"

Xie Jing's face flushed, and it took him a long time to whisper something.

Master Jiu leaned closer: "What are you talking about, I didn't hear clearly."

Xie Jing buried her head in his arms and said vaguely, "Just once."

He only smashed the glass once, but built many ice lanterns, each of which was lit up, and waited for the master to return to the shop listening to the sound of horseshoes.

On the second day, Hu Da came to the small restaurant again early in the morning, bought a lot of gifts this time, and respectfully knocked on the door to bring them in.

Grandma Kou thought about it all night last night, and she thought it was not a good idea. She thought that Xie Chuan's Xie family would be overjoyed if they knew about the child.But Huda's actions yesterday had already chilled the old lady's heart, she also calmed down for a moment, accepted the gift, bought Huda a cup of tea, and sat there not talking much.

Hu Da was a little embarrassed for a while, and explained: "I was in a hurry to send a telegram to the head of the house yesterday. Don't take offense to grandma. It was the head of the house who told me to tell him as soon as I saw someone."

Grandma Kou said indifferently: "Master, do you want to come over?"

Hu Da hesitated and said, "Well, it's not certain."

Grandma Kou said: "Then trouble you to send another telegram. We will move out in a few days. We are not here. It is enough for relatives to visit once a year or so. There is no need to come every day."

Hu Da was stunned for a moment: "Where do you want to move?"

Grandma Kou said: "I can't say for sure, maybe it's the Shanghai stock market, everything depends on Jing'er. I raised such a child, and my wife will follow him wherever he goes."

Grandma Kou had a cold attitude, but Hu Da broke out in a cold sweat, said goodbye hastily and left.

Li Yuan was packing his things in the courtyard, and Hu Da almost bumped into him when he came out. Li Yuan hugged a quilt and came in wondering, "Grandma, what happened to that man? Why did he leave as soon as he arrived?"

Grandma Kou sighed, "Who knows."

After all, more than ten years have passed, and she no longer recognizes the people around the young master, and the old man probably didn't leave much behind. Even the young master's attitude has changed a lot. Back then, he had the deepest relationship with the young lady, but now he doesn't even want his nephew.

Grandma Kou felt uncomfortable and didn't eat lunch.

After tidying up the house for two days, Grandma Kou rented out the small restaurant at home to those two women who helped cook.They gave the money happily, and Grandma Kou was also generous, giving them all the tables, chairs, pots and pans at home.

Xie Jing knew in her heart that she would not return to Beidi in the future, but the small restaurant could not be sold at this time.

He is the person next to Lord Jiu, what he does is likely to arouse suspicion, and he plans to let Li Yuan visit again next year, and besides, the golden nanmu in the firewood room in the east courtyard always needs someone to help Take it away—those treasures that are hard to find in the Shanghai stock market, the price is much higher than that in the Northland, and the money after selling it will always come in handy.

Soon, it was the day of departure.

Steward Sun Fu brought a large amount of suitcases and went to the Shanghai stock market in advance to arrange the new house in advance.

The other two stewards of the East Court took over the accompanying affairs, they spoke very little, they were brought out by Sun Fu, and they acted properly.

Master Jiu traveled in light clothes and brought a large number of people with him. The old master Bai was demoted and promoted, almost letting him take away the power of the new generation of the Bai family and leaving it for him to open a new factory in Shanghai.

A group of people took the train first and then transferred to the ship. After Jiu Ye got on the ship, he stayed in the room and did not come out.

Xie Jing wanted to go out, but every time he was stopped by Master Jiu, he only said to him: "Wait a little longer."

Waiting for the whistle to sound, the boat started slowly.

Master Jiu looked up at him and said, "How is it?"

Xie Jing didn't know: "What?"

Jiu Ye said: "I heard that people with motion sickness are very prone to seasickness. How do you feel now? What's wrong?"

Xie Jing blinked and said, "It seems to be okay."

Master Jiu felt relieved, hugged him into his arms, and rubbed his chin against his hair: "That's good."

Master Jiu was worried about Xie Jing, and rarely let him go out except when the weather was good.

It took several days to travel by boat, and after two days of watching the scenery, Bai Mingyu got tired of looking at the scenery. He had nothing to do in the cabin, so he took the chessboard to find Huang Mingyou and played a few games.

Huang Mingyou was worried that he would not have an opponent in the first battle. When he saw Bai Mingyu coming, he immediately dropped the book in his hand and fought with him.

The sound of arguing over the positioning of the chess pieces came from the next door, faintly.

In a luxurious room.

Xie Jing held a pen in her hand and was pressed against the desk.

Master Jiu pressed him and looked at him from head to toe.

Take a closer look and remember everything.

Master Jiu pinched his earlobe, bit it lightly, and said with a smile, "If you lose it, it's easy to find, there's still a mark here."

Xie Jing left a tiny scar on her earlobe, which was bitten right now, and her ears turned red from the heat.Before he could react, he was kissed on the side of the ear, with the tip of his tongue pressed in. He couldn't tell whether it was a shock or a slight wet sound that made his body sway. After a moment of daze, his face flushed. Lips tried not to make a sound.

Jiu Ye stuck too close, and could detect any reaction immediately.

Xie Jing was pressed on the desk, and from the side she could just see Master Jiu's hand propped there, and next to her ear was the other party's continuous kisses, just listening to that voice, she couldn't help but feel the tip of her ears burn.

The pen in his hand rolled down on the table a long time ago, staining a piece of rice paper, and a small piece of ink was stained on the palm of his hand. At first, he could still stare at the piece of ink while lying on the table, but soon his eyes became blurred and wet. The side of his waist was originally just ticklish, but now it is so soft that it collapses after being touched a few times.

Master Jiu lifted the corner of his clothes a little, moved his fingers down the back of his waist, and suddenly said, "Jing'er has a birthmark here."

Xie Jing was in a daze, and it took a while to react, "It seems that there are... I have had them since I was a child."

Master Jiu rubbed his thumbs for a moment, turning the skin around the cinnabar birthmark red. He suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't pay attention to it when I gave you the injection earlier. You are quite beautiful, as if a flower petal has fallen."

Xie Jing snorted.

Outside the door, someone came to report: "Jiu Ye, the people in charge of Sun Fu have cleaned up the warehouse, and said that they have delivered the last batch of goods going south. What else can you explain?"

Xie Jing called out in a low voice.

Master Jiu caressed his hair, and said in a louder voice, "Tell him to ship that batch of golden nanmu to the Shanghai stock market."

There was a sound from outside, and he took the order to go.

Master Jiu leaned over, pressed against Xie Jing's ear and said in a hoarse voice, "I will give whatever Jing'er wants, and you have to ask for everything I give you."

Xie Jing bit her thumb, being bullied so badly, she only made a vague "um", as if agreeing.

Master Jiu stretched out his hand to caress his soft black hair: "Good boy."

……

The two stinky chess baskets in the next room were equally good at chess, they met their opponents and played three games of long chess in a row.

When Bai Mingyu was satisfied, he packed up the chessboard and bid farewell to Mr. Huang, and left for a moment.

the other side.

Master Jiu tidied up Xie Jing's clothes, saw the person in front of him return to the well-behaved and beautiful Manager Xie, rubbed his thumb lightly on his lips, felt the soft touch on it, and said in a hoarse voice: "There are other things today. Are you busy? If not, come back tonight and I will check your homework."

Xie Jing's ears felt hot.

These words sound familiar. In the past, at most, he could be checked for "homework" three times a day.

Xie Jing avoided people and went back to his room. There were many people on the boat, and he had a room of his own, diagonally opposite Master Jiu.

Xie Jing went back and washed it. When she stood in front of the mirror and looked at it, she realized that one earlobe was so red that it was about to bleed. When she looked closer, she realized that there was a small light-colored mark on it, which was left when she had chickenpox in Heihe. of.

Xie Jing pinched her ear, trying to cool it down.

I thought to myself, Master Jiu's preferences have not changed, it seems that if there is a little difference in him, he has to study carefully for half a day.

Xie Jing was fine on board.

Rarely leave the cabin.

He didn't think he was seasick, but the weakness in his feet was all caused by Master Jiu. Sometimes he could only find reasons to hide on the deck during the day, but he didn't dare to get too close to the crowd.His face was normal, but there were marks under his collar, one on top of the other, and he couldn't bear to look at it when he was taking a shower.

It wasn't until the Shanghai stock market that Xie Jing's "homework" was reluctantly approved by Master Jiu, and he didn't make up extra lessons.
