In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chen Ruotong knew what Boss Qi was thinking, so she said seriously, "Boss Qi, if you want to follow me, you have to control your brothers. When I go back and arrange everything, I will let someone notify you to go to my farm to work. You wait here for news, but if you go to my place, you have to sign a contract to sell yourself. Are you willing?"

Boss Qi thought for a moment and said, "I'll discuss this with my brothers."

Half an hour later, Boss Qi replied: "My benefactor, we all agree to sign the indenture contract, but Xiao Si'er's leg is lame and he can't do any work, and we don't want to abandon him, so..." Boss Qi was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, go too. He doesn't need a bite of food." Chen Ruotong said goodbye to Boss Qi and led Shen Bing and his sister into the carriage.

Chen Sanhe was very puzzled: When did his little sister get to know two beggars? And they wanted to take her home as a servant. His little sister never left the house, and she had never been anywhere else except to Old Wu's house. How come she became so experienced in dealing with people after a trip to Pingyang Prefecture? Or was it that he was often not at home and didn't know this little sister well enough?

Chen Ruotong introduced: "Shen Bing, Shen Xue, this is my third brother. From now on, you can just call him the Third Young Master and call me the Fourth Young Master."

"Okay, I understand. Hello, Third Young Master!" Shen Bing bowed and saluted.

It was the first time that Chen Sanhe heard people call him the Third Young Master, and he felt a little awkward. He was used to hearing people call him the accountant or the clerk, and the title of the Third Young Master made him a little embarrassed. He was not the son of a wealthy family, and his family were all peasants, so this title was not appropriate. He was about to say something when Chen Ruotong winked at her. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, Shen Bing, Shen Xue, will you come with us?

"Well, Shen Bing will help you in the future, and Shen Xue has other arrangements." Chen Ruotong showed the aura of the master.

After learning about the situation, Chen Sanhe found out that it was his younger sister who saved the brother and sister. He knew that his younger sister was a soft-hearted person, so he no longer doubted anything.

There was no delay on the road and we arrived at Pingyang Prefecture after eleven days.

After entering the city, Chen Ruotong asked the carriage to stop at a carpenter's shop. She went into the shop and ordered four hundred gift boxes of different sizes, requesting that they be delivered to Zhenpin Pavilion in installments and batches. She also bought five large black wooden boxes and had them pulled by an ox cart.

Chen Sanhe asked curiously, "What are you doing with these wooden boxes, my fourth brother?"

"These boxes are the goods that a friend of mine who does business overseas left here. You'll see when you get there."

When did his younger sister make a friend who does overseas business? He felt that his younger sister was becoming more and more mysterious, and he was a little confused. He always felt that his younger sister had changed, but it seemed that she had not changed, and he always felt that something was strange. He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. Whatever his younger sister said was what it was, and his sister would not harm him.

Chen Ruotong's trip took a month. When the carriage arrived at Zhenpin Pavilion, the golden plaque on the gate of Zhenpin Pavilion was shining. Three beautiful golden characters "Zhenpin Pavilion" were hung on the gate. The gate had been newly renovated and looked very high-end.

Chen Ruotong and her group entered the Zhenpin Pavilion. Wow! They were immediately struck by the modern and European style of the decoration. What's wrong with Qiao Zien's head? Not only is she good at studying, but she also has a deep understanding of aesthetics! She was very satisfied and liked this decoration style very much. It was just right for her glassware!

The other three people were also stunned. They had never seen such a beautiful building and such nice interior furniture.

Qiao Bo came over with a smile: "Mr. Chen is finally back. Our Zhenpin Pavilion has just been renovated and is waiting for you to come back and open for business!"

“Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Qiao. How have you and Brother Zi En been doing this month?

"All right, all right. The young master is either studying in the academy or watching over the decoration of Zhenpin Pavilion. The young master said that since you are not here, he will be given this task and he must do his best to complete it. Mr. Chen, what do you think?

"Hahaha, very good, very good!" Chen Ruotong said with a smile.

Chen Sanhe: Why is my little sister speaking so elegantly? This is not like her usual tone of voice. Did she learn this from Wu Qiming? This is basically the case!

Qiao Bo said: "Mr. Chen, these three are..."

"Oh, this is my third brother, and these two siblings are here to work."

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Third, please go up to the second floor and take a look!"

The five of them went up to the second floor, where the view was even wider. The windows were open, and the afternoon sun shone in, making the entire second floor very bright. A row of antique shelves of varying heights and shapes stood around and in the center, forming a circle that was particularly artistic. With some treasures placed on it, the level was even higher. Chen Ruotong smiled so hard that her teeth were visible.

Several people went down to the first floor again, and Qiao Bo had five wooden boxes carried to the warehouse. Several people followed him. It turned out that there were two ventilation windows above the small dark room where Chen Ruotong was imprisoned, and the wooden door was also replaced, which was just right for use as a warehouse. This kid is quite good at making arrangements! It turned out that Qin's mother's room and the thugs' room had also been renovated, and the guys from Zhenpin Pavilion could live here. A top student is a top student, he can do anything and arrange everything properly.

After visiting Zhenpin Pavilion, he locked the door, took a carriage to the clothing shop to buy clothes for a few people, and then returned to Chen's house.

Zhao Tiedan was sitting on a stone pier at the door. When he saw the carriage and Qiao Bo sitting outside, he immediately went to greet him and shouted, "Qiao Bo, is the young master back?"

Chen Ruotong and the others got off the carriage? Zhao Tiedan ran over happily: "Young Master is back. You must have worked hard on the journey. Come in and have a rest." The little guy seemed to have grown taller and fatter.

Chen Ruotong asked: "Where is your grandfather?"

"Grandpa is busy at the farm." Tiedan answered happily.

Several people entered the main hall. Sun came over to serve tea, and then went to the kitchen to boil water. Several people wanted to take a bath and change clothes to wash away the dust on the journey.

Clothes really make a person appear. Chen Sanhe put on his newly bought blue and white brocade gown, and his noble temperament came out, comparable to Chen Ruotong. Shen Bing was wearing a blue short-sleeved servant's uniform, which was particularly neat and tidy. Little Shen Xue wore a light green maid's uniform and had two buns on her hair. She was really a pretty girl.

Qiao Bo arranged rooms for several people. There were five rooms in the main house. The main hall was in the middle. The first room on the east side of the main hall was Chen Ruotong's room, the second room was a study, and Chen Sanhe lived in the first room on the west side of the main hall.

Shen Bing lived in the first room of the west wing, Shen Xue lived in the room next to Sun in the second courtyard, and the driver of the escort agency lived in the guest room. After everything was arranged, everyone returned to the main hall to wait for Qiao Zien to come home from school.

At dusk, Qiao Zien returned home from school and saw Chen Ruotong as soon as she entered the courtyard. She walked a few steps quickly into the main hall and bowed, saying, "Brother Guchuan is back. You have worked hard on your journey."

He turned his head to look at Chen Sanhe, who was sitting next to him and looked 70% like Chen Ruotong: "Who is this?"

"This is my third brother, Chen Sanhe."

"Hello, Mr. Chen San!"

"Third brother, this is the young man I saved, Qiao Zien."

"Hello, Mr. Qiao!"

Everyone greeted each other and sat together for dinner. Today was the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Dragon Boat Festival. Sun made a large pot of rice dumplings and cooked a few delicious dishes to welcome Chen Ruotong.
