☆, going to the old and welcoming the new with mixed feelings

One early morning in early October in the autumn of 1911, in a remote mountain village in Hebei, the villagers were busy harvesting the only crops under the lazy sun as usual. This year’s harvest was not good, and the south was also hit by floods. With the revolution, even this barren mountain village seemed to feel the change.

Feng Village is a small village that relies on the mountains to live on the mountains. It does not show the mountains and dews, and has never had any celebrities.The fields in the village are all wasteland reclaimed on the mountainside. This kind of land is not fertile, and it is a miracle that crops and vegetables can grow.

Feng Village also has its special features. Although it is so poor that there are not many tile-roofed houses here, and the villagers are all dressed in rags, the life expectancy of the villagers here is very long. Since the reign of Kangxi, there have been dozens of centenarians The elderly, and the villagers rarely get sick.Even in these precarious times, no one was ever heard of starving to death.

"Father!" Feng Ye was running on the wet field ridge wearing straw sandals and carrying a basket in his hand. Compared with his peers, he was even smaller, and his marked facial features resembled his mother's. Those big clear eyes matched The upper double eyelids are particularly pleasing, the small mouth is flushed, and he speaks vividly and dances.

The 8-year-old baby is the only male in the family, and his two older sisters have already married to neighboring villages.Now the father's responsibility is to teach him how to cultivate his own field. Although the life is poor, he can earn a living at least. His parents plan to let him live on an acre of Susukida, which is what farmers should expect. Mr. You is willing to come to the village to teach, and it will be the icing on the cake for Feng Ye to learn how to read and write.

The child trotted while waving to his father, who was bending over to reap the crops in the field. The coarse cloth jacket on his body was patched, and the corners of the clothes drooped to his knees. It was changed from the jacket of the second sister. He was still very thin and naked. If the weather is colder, the wind can get in through the cuffs and neckline, and the mother will take out cloth strips from the box to tie the cuffs tightly, and wrap a sweat towel around her neck to keep warm.

"Father, mother made buns for you, and pickles... eat while it's hot." He ran to his father, took down the basket, put it on a smooth stone by the side of the field, imitating the tone of adults speak.

Feng Dahan smiled bluntly, put down the sickle, wiped his sweat and said, "Let's eat with Dad, and help Dad cut the crops later." He is a typical farmer, with a strong body and dark skin. Due to years of hard work, he is just 40 years old It's already a bit of a hunchback.

Looking at his son who is still like a carrot head, he can't help worrying. He started working in the fields when he was 14 years old, but seeing his son's small body, he felt that it was too early, and he could get through it no matter what. At 16, he can still work for a few more years. When the child turns [-], he should be married. As long as he has a grandson in his arms, his life will be worthwhile.

"I even served a bowl of vegetable porridge for dad... I'll just drink the porridge." Feng Ye set the bowl and chopsticks, handed his father a clean wet towel, and quietly looked at his sweaty father Squatting on the edge of the field to have breakfast.

He is actually very hungry, but in order to make the family's rations less tense, he can only bear it. The food and clothing of the three of them depend on his father working all day in the fields alone. Eat two bites less, for breakfast, half a bowl of porridge can get you through.

While the father and son were talking, dogs barked from the road not far from the entrance of the village. Someone entered the village, which is really rare!

The entrance of Feng Village is at the foot of the mountain, relatively close to their family's field.

Feng Ye stood on the ridge of the field and leaned forward to look at the two big locust trees at the entrance of the village.

Next to the locust tree is the center of Feng Village - the Laojun Temple, which is also the most luxurious building in the village. It was repainted with the efforts of the whole village the year before last. This Taoist temple has no courtyard, only a tile-roofed house. Inside, every year and festival, there will be a fairy Liu Daochang who will come to preside over the French ceremony. This person always wears a navy blue cotton robe, his black hair is tied into a bun, and a white jade hairpin is inserted in the bun. The hairpin was as bright as ice and snow under the sunlight.

The villagers competed for the top incense, and all of them gave tributes as much as they could. Those few days were also the busiest days in the village.

"Father, a lot of people have come to the village!" Feng Ye had never seen so many strangers come to the village, he shouted excitedly, jumping to look around.

Other villagers also gathered curiously and looked at the visitor.

A dozen or so strange men came up the mountain on foot. The leading man was a thin-skinned monkey, wearing a black coat, black cloth shoes, a purple melon skin hat, braided hair, a sallow complexion, and sesame paste around his eyeballs. He swayed while walking. yawn.

The other followers are all tall and big, like Lian Jiazi.

The old village chief and his son Dayong stepped forward to salute with fists in their hands, and asked politely, "Masters, what is the purpose of coming to Feng Village early in the morning?"

The village chief's son usually doesn't talk much and is good at observing words and expressions. He just looks at that skinny monkey and thinks he's a bastard. overworked.

"Old sir, my humble servant, my uncle, is in Kaiyang Clinic in Tianjin Wei. We want to have a check-up with a middle-aged man in the village. It costs 30 taels per person, a three-day round trip, and we cover the transportation, board and lodging." The thin-skinned monkey smiled. said, but the eyeballs were rolling around, and he found that the man next to the village chief was looking at him unfriendly.

"30 taels!"

"Oh my god, that's a lot!" Everyone talked about it, this is a lot of wealth for the poor Feng village, with this money, it is not a problem to marry a wife and build a new house.

"It's really such a good thing, who knows if you are catching pigs?" Dayong asked angrily, there is no pie in the sky, let alone money.

"It's not about catching pigs. Foreigners are going to do experiments. The experiments are for the purpose of making foreign medicines to save people's lives." Skinny Monkey patiently explained that this money is definitely a huge sum of money for the people of Feng Village. He does not believe that there are people who are not greedy for money.

"What is the experiment?" asked a villager who didn't know why.

"It's an experiment, just put a few drops of blood!" This time the skinny monkey didn't lie, he told the truth.

"If you don't catch pigs, let's put some blood, I'll go!" Zhang's eldest son bears the brunt, he has three children, and his wife is about to give birth to a fourth one, and the whole family will starve if they rely on themselves to collect food .

As soon as the Zhang family spoke, other villagers also flocked to surround the skinny monkey in the middle, asking this and that, when will I get the money, and when will I return to the village, will it hurt my vitality? …

Seeing this, Dayong quickly stopped him: "Everyone... we don't know the details, so we can't just respond casually, just in case something goes wrong!" But no one can listen to this, after all, it is 30 taels. The years of famine are enough for a family to live for a long time.

Feng Da also put down his job and ran over to join in the fun. He squeezed into the crowd and said loudly, "Count me in!" The money was saved, it was enough for his son to marry a wife, and since everyone was going, he had nothing to worry about.

Feng Ye, who was standing outside the crowd with a dazed face, didn't know what happened, but the villagers seemed very happy. The arrival of these strangers made the small mountain village boil!

That night, the strong men followed Yan Si down the mountain to Tianjin Wei.

Only Dayong stayed. At dusk, he squatted in front of the Laojun Temple at the entrance of the village and drank wine, muttering: "If you don't listen to my advice, you will regret it!" He would like to see thirty strong men with money He returned safely, but his heart was not at ease.But my father comforted himself, saying that there must be no problem with so many people going on the road together, it was his wild imagination.

As the night was getting dark, Feng Ye lay on the kang head of the thatched hut, looked at his mother's back sewing, and asked softly, "Mother, when will daddy come back?"

"It said it would take three or four days, and it might be delayed if the road is difficult!" She mended and mended her husband's trousers with the help of an oil lamp. Cotton clothes, so that the three people will not have frostbite again.

"Oh!" Feng Ye seemed to be comforted, since his father hadn't traveled far as far as he could remember, he was somewhat uneasy.

Mother put down her trousers, and just as she was about to blow out the oil lamp, she heard a shout from outside. She hurried to the door and pressed the latch against the black wooden door. Through the decayed wooden door, the firelight shone into the house.

He got up from the kang in panic, but he heard his mother's sharp cry: "Hide...quick!"

The mother's cry accompanied Feng Ye through countless bleak nights, but he couldn't remember clearly, and he was only 8 years old at that time.He still can't figure out what happened in Fengcun back then, and most of the time he doesn't want to think about it, because it's meaningless, and he can't get anything from childhood memories.

"Stop dawdling, Lord Long Live is leaving, can you keep us? Hurry up and collect your things quickly, and the cannons will come in one step later!" Eunuch Zhao, the chief eunuch of the imperial dining room, sighed, The eight young eunuchs in this room were all grown up by him, especially the well-behaved and sensible Feng Ye, who is also his most proud "student". It's a pity that the Qing Dynasty is completely over, and even the emperor can no longer live in the Forbidden City up.

None of the eunuchs who were busy tidying up the things didn't worry, and some even cried, but no matter how noisy they were, it couldn't change the fact that they had to leave the palace today.

"Little Yezi, come here!" Eunuch Zhao called Feng Ye who had packed his luggage aside, and motioned him to put his ear to speak.

The 21-year-old Feng Ye came forward respectfully and said politely, "Speak, I'll listen."

Eunuch Zhao whispered, "I've helped you find out where you're going. Let's go to Lord Baylor Zaijie's house to work. Lord Baylor is a good man, and Fujin is also kind. At least you have a place to live."

In his eyes, Feng Ye is a polite, hard-working and intelligent young man with a handsome face, who looks like a student. His beautiful big eyes are better than a girl's. He is always clean and agile. If he hadn't become a eunuch, There might be a better home, right?

Eunuch Zhao also knew about Feng Ye's background. The child had no family, and after he escaped famine, he was kidnapped and sold into the palace. Without the errand here, it meant that he had no way out. He could be regarded as doing it for Feng Ye. Good thing.

"Eunuch, how can I thank you, little one!" Feng Ye quickly knelt down and kowtowed, but Eunuch Zhao stopped him.

"I'm out of the palace, so forget about the etiquette. No matter where you go in the future, you have to leave a way for yourself. This is a troubled world!" The old eunuch said earnestly, he can go to the temple to spend his life, but What will these children do for a living in the future?

The young eunuch nodded with tears in his eyes and said, "Well...Your old man, I will remember your words!"

"Go to see me in the temple if you have time in the future, don't talk too much today, hurry up and go out of the palace with Xiao Yinzi and the others!" The old eunuch planned to let the juniors go first, even if they died here today Yes, he has no regrets.

The Forbidden City is so huge that it is empty in just one day.

With heavy steps, Eunuch Zhao closed the door of the imperial dining room, turned his head and saw that Feng Ye was still standing outside the door, waiting for him.

"Xiao Yezi, didn't I tell you to go with Xiao Yinzi and the others? Why are you waiting for me?" Eunuch Zhao asked angrily, this child is really delaying things, otherwise he can find a place to hang himself, anyway. All his money was donated to the temple, he didn’t do any good while he was alive, and he still counted as meritorious deeds when he died.

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll go out of the palace with you!" Feng Ye said firmly. The work is done with ease, all because of the father-in-law's cultivation for many years.

Eunuch Zhao walked down the steps slowly, grabbed Xiao Yezi's arm, and murmured: "Do you still remember, when you first came here, you were the youngest, and you cried the most. Leaving the palace, now it's time to leave the palace, don't worry about leaving!"

Feng Ye supported the old man, and said gently: "If you don't tell me, I will forget it!" How could he forget, the pain of leaking urine after cleansing and the shock of losing his family made him fall into despair at the age of 8 In fear and fear, Eunuch Zhao took him in and gave him a place to stay as a lonely and helpless child. Therefore, he will remember this kindness for a lifetime.

Braving the severe cold, the backs of the old and the young were submerged in the flow of people leaving the palace. The red walls and blue tiles were once a magnificent city where the emperor lived. The special groups of people have also lost the soil they depend on for survival, and no one knows where the future will be.

☆, otherworldly fireworks

The mediocre Prince Yige has three sons, the eldest is Zaiqi, the second is Zaijie, and the third is Zaihong. After the death of the prince, the three sons separated. Zai Jie got the least share, so he simply bought a small courtyard at Dengshikou to live in.

Feng Ye was his servant, and Zai Jie lived in seclusion and didn't like to socialize very much. Compared with the youngest Zai Hong who wandered around the Bada Hutong every day, they didn't look like they were born of the same mother.Yes, they really weren't born by the same mother. The third child, Zaihong, was born to the Luo family of the Di Fujin, while the eldest and second child were born to Wu Ya Shuwen, the Da Fujin.

The first day Feng Ye came to Zai Jie's house, he was still in a state of agitation, for fear that Lord Baylor would dislike him and would not want to keep him at the house.

Zai Jie’s house has four large rooms, with a screen wall at the entrance. Although the yard is not big, the house is very new, and the doors and windows were just painted the year before last.

An old woman is really too busy to take care of chores, laundry, and cooking.

"I'll leave the kitchen and purchases to you from now on!" Zai Jie lowered his eyes slightly while holding the tea bowl, he just took a few glances at the eunuch, who was still quite upright.Since it was the person introduced by Eunuch Zhao, he should believe it, so let's use it.

Feng Ye didn't dare to look up at his new master, he put his hands in his hands and replied anxiously: "Anything a little one can do, Lord Belle, just ask you to do it."

"Well, what's your name?" Zai Jie put down the tea bowl and looked at the former eunuch.

"Young Feng Ye, you can just call me Xiao Yezi." Only then did he dare to raise his head slightly. After all, this is not in the palace, but an ordinary family's house.

Lord Belle is very young, his skin is like fat, his hair is black and shiny, with a fashionable middle part, his red phoenix eyes are quite charming, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised when he speaks, and his thin and high nose bridge is just like the foreigners in the pictorial Like a star, but this well-crafted light gray gown can't be fully supported by Lord Baylor's slightly thin body.

Feng Ye almost lost his mind when he saw it, and quickly lowered his head, it would be too rude to stare at the master like this.

"Fujin is not feeling well today, otherwise I won't be able to tell you these things... Wang Ma, take Xiao Yezi to tidy up." Master Belle told the old mama, Wang Ma sometimes has bad ears when she gets old, but read In terms of the friendship he has been with for many years, he is still willing to continue to use it.

"Yes." Wang Ma then led Feng Ye into the south room, the warehouse was on the left, and there was an empty room on the right for him to live in.

Wang Ma has to go home to take care of her grandson every day, so she doesn't stay overnight at night, she always comes early and leaves late.There is no baby in the house, so it's quite worry-free to do things, but there are three things that are unfilial and have no offspring. She can see that the young couple of Lord Baylor are looking forward to having children.

Feng Ye was very happy to see that he could have a clean bedroom. The room was fully furnished, new bedding was prepared, there were even tea bowls, teapots and necessary daily necessities, and there was a dark-painted stove in the corner. Lyron was on fire, and the room was warm.

"Fu Jin specifically said that I can't let you be cold. From now on, you should do your best. Lord Belle and Fujin are rare and good masters!" Wang Ma said with a smile, and finally someone came to help.

"Don't worry, leave all the physical work to me!" Even if he is a eunuch, he can't let the old lady do hard work.What's more, it's not as good as before. Even if the policy of preferential treatment to the Qing royal family continues, it is estimated that there are not many people who can be distributed to individuals. Only by keeping a family as diligent and thrifty as Lord Baylor can we continue to live.He doesn't seek wealth, as long as he has a place to live, he is satisfied with enough to live.

The next morning, Feng Ye met Hua Rong, the hostess. She was a well-looking Manchu woman in all aspects. There is also a certain charm, but there is no expression on his face, which makes people feel that he is not easy to approach.

"If you think there is anything else you need, just tell me, our house is no bigger than the palace, and everything is very simple!" Rong Hua sat in the living room, talking relaxedly, with a slightly tired look on his brows and eyes. Occasional cold, she is not too comfortable yet.

Feng Ye is used to answering with his head down: "The little one likes this yard very much, and my room is also very warm, so I don't need anything."

"There's no need to keep your head down and talk. We don't ask for etiquette in the palace, and so does Lord Belle. You and Wang Ma bought these things today." She wrote a note, which was all for a week's household, rice, flour, and rapeseed. For example, when the weather is cold, we need to save some briquettes, because the head of the house is very afraid of the cold.

Xiao Yezi took the note with both hands, and wanted to go backwards, but felt that this would make the hostess uncomfortable, so he simply retreated to the door before turning around and going down.

"Don't be like the court!" Hua Rong said seriously.

"Yes, Fujin, you must pay attention to the little ones in the future." He stood outside the house and broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed that the hostess was harder to serve than Lord Belle.

Feng Ye took the shopping bag from Wang Ma, and as soon as he went out, he saw Zai Jie talking to a greasy young man with a face of reluctance.

"Master Belle, Fujin asked me to go shopping!" He said politely, he couldn't help saluting, but he realized that this was outside the palace, so there was no need to say so much etiquette.

Zai Jie nodded slightly to him and started talking to the visitor again.

"Second brother, it's not a problem for you to be bored at home all day long. This is a rare opportunity. You can meet so many people on the scene. Come with me!" The person who spoke was Zaihong, the master of Sanbeile. , compared to the handsome second brother, Zaihong's facial features are not particularly outstanding, his appearance is more like an old prince, with a burly figure and a handsome air of a northern man, with fragrant pomade on his bangs, imitating the style of a Hollywood actor modeling.The third master loves beauty, and every time he goes out, he dresses up very decently. He prefers to wear a suit rather than a full suit.

Zai Jie shook his head again and again: "Forget it, I don't like that kind of scene, you'd better ask elder brother to go!" The so-called party is just an occasion where the rich and powerful meet each other, not to mention that now the wind direction has changed, and the last man with a gun in his hand Being tough, there is absolutely no need for him to climb high, because he is neither in business nor in politics.

"He's busy running to Long Live God...I have nothing to say to him, let's go!" Zaihong grabbed his second brother and got into the rickshaw, not allowing him to escape.

Zai Jie had no choice but to flatten the hem of his coat, and said in a low voice, "Don't take me to Huajie and Liuxiang!" He looked down on those who trade in flesh and blood, regardless of gender.

Zaihong ordered the driver to run, then turned to the second brother and said, "I don't go shopping, I know you are not good at it." He knew the cleanliness of the second brother since he was a child. Physical contact, even in the dog days will not be shirtless.

"You should call your elder brother about this matter. Doesn't he want to know more powerful people?" Zai Jie was absent-minded, as if the things on the scene had nothing to do with him, but people always have a way out, even if they hide in the ancestors The Eight Banners disciples under Fuyin also want to have a meal discount. Thinking of this gives me a headache.

The rickshaw passed through the alley and got on the spacious road. Winter came again, and the passers-by on the road were panting with cold air, with their cotton jackets in their hands, and hurried.Yesterday's capital city has gone through a lot of turmoil, and now everyone's face is showing peace of mind, at least the cannons didn't blast into the Forbidden City, the emperor returned to the prince's mansion, and the world is peaceful again.

Zaihong lowered his voice and said, "Second brother, I know you always wanted to have a son... If you don't want to marry a concubine, or raise a woman outside, I will help you find a satisfactory one, and I will never let my sister-in-law I know." The second brother and his sister-in-law have been married for four years and have never had a son or a daughter, but he is different, he already has a son and a daughter.

These words hit Zai Jie's sore spot, he frowned and shook his head: "No, I can't do this, let alone I don't even have a livelihood." The problem is not with Hua Rong, but with himself, he is very clear very.

"Being a person can't be too stubborn, that's why I pulled you in today. The people on the scene know a lot, and we can naturally find a way. Both of us can find a job in the government, and we can make some money. Besides, since ancient times There is no one who does not make money by being an official!" Zai Hong said lightly, all of them, the elder brothers, all went to school when they were young, and they are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. Can't find the reason for the errand?

"It's as easy as you said, and there is no need for other people to eat at home, let alone those who dare to use the yellow flag?" The emperor was just kicked out of the Forbidden City yesterday, and he wished to hide from them. Everything is too simple.

The son waved his hand: "This statement is wrong. The more we use us, the more we can embody democracy and freedom. The Republic of China advocates that everyone is equal. We are also citizens, just like these people walking on the street. Why can't we do things for the government? ?”

"According to what you mean, even Long Live Lord should be given an official position?" He glanced at the third brother, there should be a limit to being ignorant.

"Of course, I'm afraid that the emperor will not do it himself, so I will do it." As soon as he finished speaking, the rickshaw entered Dongjiaomin Lane and stopped in front of a western house.

Quentin, the host of the party, is an out-and-out Yankee who speaks fluent Chinese. He has lived in China for six years.

The two got out of the car, walked through the fence gate and came to the spacious living room under the leadership of the servant.The crystal chandelier in the center of the roof was dazzlingly bright, and the guests had already arrived and were chatting happily.

Except for Erbeile, everyone was wearing foreign clothes, which made me very embarrassed.

"Lord Belle, you are here!" The host Quentin appeared, he is a very handsome and humorous young American gentleman, he often has a smile on his face, he likes brown suits the most, brown hair and blue eyes, with a faint cant on the bridge of his nose Freckles are visible.

Zai Hong hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Mr. Quentin, this is my second brother, and I introduced you to him before!" He was quite familiar with this American, and the two met in a rather indecent place related.In the final analysis, foreigners are also human beings, do they also have emotions and desires?

"Welcome, welcome, your brother is really a handsome Lord Belle... Come, let me introduce you to one of my friends." Quentin was very happy, he had heard that Zaihong's second brother was famously beautiful Man, seeing him today is really extraordinary.

When the three of them came to the window, they saw a young man sitting on the sofa drinking alone. When they saw them coming, they stood up politely.

Erbeile looked up and saw that the man in the white suit was handsome, tall and handsome, with thick sword eyebrows, eyes the color of black gems, and a charming smile on the corner of his mouth, which made him look more trendy. He caught his sight all of a sudden, and had to admit that the existence of some people is to show their superiority. This is the case with the man opposite, as if appearing in front of everyone like a dazzling sun, shining brightly Brighten.

"Liang Yucheng, my good friend, just came back from England last month. He is a new star in the business world!" Quentin introduced them to them. He thought Liang Yucheng was definitely a good friend worthy of deep friendship. Just saw improvement.

"Hi, Mr. Liang, I'm Zai Hong, and this is my second brother Zai Jie, who has known his name for a long time!" Erbeile shook hands with the other party in a friendly manner.

"You two, Lord Belle, are very polite. It's my honor to meet you two today." Liang Yucheng said politely, he didn't expect Prince Yige to have such a beautiful son.

Zai Jie just nodded slightly, and said hello lightly: "Mr. Liang, I am Zai Jie!" He hates shaking hands with other people, and this kind of civilized etiquette is unnecessary.

Mr. Liang, who originally wanted to shake hands with Erbeile, stretched out his hand and was stunned for half a second. It seems that the man in front of him still regards himself as a high-ranking relative of the emperor, so arrogant!

☆、For sale of royal relatives and relatives

Quentin immediately smoothed things over: "Come on, you three, give me a cocktail. I'm planning to open a foreign company in the capital, but I haven't thought of what kind of goods I want to order. I don't know what you two Belle have to say?" He asked the servant He brought cocktails and fruit, and sat on the sofa with the three of them and chatted.

"Women can't resist the temptation of foreign goods. You order foreign clothes, fabrics, perfumes, face powders, lipsticks, and there are so many customers in the market, and those women have to line up to send money to your store." Zaihong said that it is easy for foreigners to make money. Who is not proud to buy foreign goods, even the furniture used by Long Live Lord is exquisite Western goods.

"Well, the key issue is not the supply of goods. My idea is to allow ordinary people to come to my store to buy things, not just high-ranking officials." Quentin put down his wine glass and said thoughtfully, don't look at China as poor, but even No matter how poor people are, they have to eat and wear. A group of rabbits will shed more wool than a sheep. What he wants is for the majority to consume, not to win over a few VIPs.

Liang Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief, and politely persuaded him: "Don't forget about Japanese goods. You don't have any advantage in adding freight and taxes to the price. What's more, there are still wars outside the customs, and the situation is not stable, so it is not suitable for blind investment." Using their advantages, Wu Peifu was beaten and fled in embarrassment. Now Tianjin is under the control of the Fengjun. The so-called emperor and courtiers have to dredge up relations again.

Er Bei Le just listened to the three people's speeches, and did not speak. He felt that Mr. Liang's words were very reasonable, and one must consider risks when doing business.

"Then what's your suggestion?" the American asked with a frown.

Mr. Liang put the wine glass on the tea table, and said unhurriedly: "Why don't you try to export Chinese products, such as tea, porcelain, silk, especially tea, the price is low now, you can calculate the cost, just make Wholesale will involve much less energy for you, and the risk of export is relatively less than that of import.” In this era of war and chaos, it is not easy to do business well.

"Oh, I never thought about doing export business, but the ticket office is so busy, we don't have the energy to find the source of goods, and there is no suitable person to entrust." Quentin was in trouble, and all his capable employees In Tianjin, if a source of goods is transferred, it may affect the business of the ticket office.

The quick-witted Zai Hong immediately took over: "What do you think of us brothers?" This is the purpose of his visit today, whether in business or politics, as long as he can make money, he will never let go of any opportunity.

Zai Jie immediately rolled his eyes at his younger brother, when did he say he was going to work in a foreign firm, not to mention, wouldn't it be too shameful for the two of them to be employees of a foreign firm?

"Oh, the two Belle masters are willing to help our foreign firm?" Quentin was surprised, but he couldn't think of what these two could do for a while.

"Of course I would, it's just that neither of us has any experience in doing business!" Zaihong smiled all over his face. He is good at socializing and socializing, and is suitable for running errands. The second brother is stable enough to do clerical work.

Liang Yucheng looked at the silent handsome man and made up his mind, so he said, "I don't think there's any problem, it's just that the two of you are going to live in Tianjin for a while to learn business and get familiar with the working environment." They It is extremely beneficial to the business of the foreign company to have two Belle masters join in, tout it in the newspaper, or become a talking point in the streets and alleys.This handsome aristocratic man may have other values ​​that can be used. A pretty face is an advantage in business, and he has a deep understanding.

"Well, we really need to be familiar with the environment, and we will discuss the specific salary in detail." Quentin agreed, and he also realized that it would be very beneficial to recruit these two people into the team.

Zai Jie was stunned for a while, and after a while, he was sold by his younger brother, still at an unknown price.

Sanbeile raised his glass and said, "Okay... If there is no objection to the salary, I wish us a happy cooperation!" The salary was too low for him and his second brother to agree, but he estimated that the two should be able to afford it.

Zai Jie had no choice but to bite the bullet and stood up to raise his glass. His eyes just collided with Mr. Liang. Although he was used to the overly eager eyes of everyone since he was a child, he still felt uncomfortable being scrutinized by men at such a close distance. , It will remind him of the bad things from a long time ago.

Just as the two Belle masters were having a happy chat with their future boss, Feng Ye also went to a grocery store in Dong'an Market.

The boss brought the best rice and oil, and he selected them very carefully, and he must not buy stale goods for the master.

"Get me a bag of noodles, and another hundred catties of rice, hurry up and send it to me before you delay!" A man stood at the door of the grocery store and shouted loudly.

"It was my son's negligence last time. I'm watching in the store today. I'm sure I won't delay you. You always go home and lie down, and it will be delivered before lunch." The boss just wanted to hurry up and get rid of this. The eyes are clean.

"Well, that's about the same!" Yan Si walked out of the market swaggeringly after finishing his speech.

Feng Ye also bought something and hurried to follow.He has never believed that his father is no longer alive, and only Yan Si knows his father's whereabouts.

Yan Si wandered across the road and turned into Jinyu Alley, where his house was. If he hadn't smoked opium for many years, he would probably be able to buy two houses with three entrances.now he only
