The Empress’s Gigolo

Chapter 17: draw circles

Views:

After finishing the matter, Ren Baqian called home. Originally, there was a dozen every half a month, but this time it took more than a month.

There was a female voice on the other end of the phone, and complained after connecting: "You still know how to call back?"

Ren Baqian laughed dryly: "I've been busy recently, I set up a company with my friend, and I'm not on the ground every day."

"Company? What company? Where did you get the money to start the company?" Ren Baqian's mother immediately forgot about the complaint when she heard about the company, for fear that her son would be tricked outside.

"I contributed the technology, and my friend contributed the money. Moreover, I was favored by a venture capital company and invested some." Ren Baqian half-truthfully said.

It is much easier to explain venture capital to parents than to explain black mud paste and pharmaceuticals.

Otherwise, the money in my pocket can't be explained at all.

After talking for a long time, my mother was dubious, and Ren Baqian said again: "I put 300,000 in your card, you two should have fun and have fun."

"Your father and I don't need any money." The mother complained, but the son paid 300,000 yuan, which is always a happy thing, which shows that the son has indeed made money. Relatives will not underestimate them in the future.

"Let's keep it as a wedding gift for you and your younger brother." Mother said.

"I don't need to keep my betrothal gifts. I still have a lot of money here, but I haven't called you all. There are hundreds of thousands more. If my brother likes anything, just buy it for him." Ren Baqian smiled After chatting for more than ten minutes, she hung up the phone when her mother told her not to spend money recklessly and save more money.

In the afternoon, Ren Baqian ran again.

The ten handymen over there worked very hard, and I said that I would never treat them badly if they did a good job, so I couldn't just talk empty words.

Rewards or something certainly not.

Ren Baqian thought about it, let's get something to eat.

Goubangzi roast chicken, sauced beef, pork knuckle, Ren Baqian bought a lot from a restaurant with the best reputation, enough for a dozen people to have a good meal.

The food in that world is still much worse than that of the earth. After all, there are not so many kinds of spices, and there are no recipes that have been continuously improved by generations or dozens of generations.

Ren Baqian reckoned that the food on Earth would make those people lick their plates clean.

As for the wine, Ren Baqian gave up the idea after thinking about it.

Fortunately, these foods can be said to be homemade. Wine cannot be brewed in a day or two.

When going to sleep at night, Ren Baqian tied the two large bags of food around his body with ropes, and when he woke up again, he appeared with him in the room he had just allocated to him.

Seeing that it was already dim outside, the light had already shone in through the paper window.

Ren Baqian changed into coarse clothes, put his things and food away, opened the door and went out.

It was a breath of fresh air.

It's great to have unpolluted air.

Ren Baqian thought that fortunately he would go back after staying here for three days, otherwise, if he stayed for a long time, he wondered if he would be able to adapt to the various exhaust gases in YC City.

This world goes to bed early, wakes up early, and at this time, some people have started to wash clothes and so on.

Ren Baqian went to the ice cellar to look around, and he could see that one-third of it had been piled up.

This is still the case of supplying the white bear. It can be seen that these people were not lazy at all on the day they left.

However, the washbasin-shaped ice cubes are not easy to stack, Ren Baqian is thinking about whether he should order a few cube boxes specially for making ice.

After a short stay, many handymen arrived and greeted Ren Baqian one by one, making Ren Baqian, who had never been a squad leader in Dalian since he was a child, and was always a passer-by, feel very good.

They had to work for a while before going to breakfast.

Ren Baqian asked: "Where do you go if you want to build something?"

"If it's metal products, then go to Baishi District, there are many workshops there." Someone said immediately after understanding what Ren Baqian meant.

"Is it troublesome to get out of the animal park?"

"Say hello to Steward Shi, then take the note and go out."

Ren Baqian nodded, and said to the crowd: "Work hard, and treat you to a good meal tonight."

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, everyone's interest immediately rose.

Breakfast is vegetable porridge, which is miscellaneous grains and vegetables cooked together, and the taste is not very good. But in this world, it is not bad, and the food of handymen is worse than this.

After dinner, Ren Baqian approached Guanshi Shi: "Guanshi Shi, I want to go out and build some metal boxes."

"Today I have to go out to do some errands. If you are not in a hurry, then come with me then." Guanshi Shi said.

Ren Baqian smiled and said, "That would be the best."

He doesn't even know where the door is now, let alone the so-called Baishi District. It's really a good thing to have someone who is familiar with the surrounding situation and the local customs go out with me.

Otherwise, he didn't know if he would offend other people's customs because he didn't know, and he would beat him up at that time.

After Steward Shi finished dealing with the matter at hand, he changed into clothes of much better quality and dragged Ren Baqian out.

The beast garden is connected to the imperial palace, but the beast garden also has other exits, but there are a few soldiers guarding it.

Steward Shi flashed the sign on his waist and brought Ren Baqian out.

"The next time you come out by yourself, you have to use the note. Don't lose it, or you won't be able to get in." Steward Shi warned Ren Baqian.

"It was easier to get in and out than I thought."

"What else?"

"How come there are more guards, and the inspection is more cumbersome, right? Otherwise, what should I do if someone sneaks in?"

Steward Shi laughed loudly: "It's so troublesome, the beast garden belongs to His Majesty, whoever has nothing to do will go there.

The animal garden is a dirt road with forests on both sides. After walking a certain distance, a residential area appears.

"This is the residence of all the adults." Steward Shi pointed to the wealthy families on both sides and said to Ren Baqian.

Not far away, Ren Baqian heard the commotion ahead, and saw two people fighting together.

Or one person riding on top of another and beating.

Both of them were dressed in brocade clothes, and they didn't look like ordinary people, and there were some people who looked like followers watching the battle.

Steward Shi led Ren Baqian past without any surprise, and Ren Baqian kept turning his head to look at it. It was really a punch to the flesh, and he could clearly hear the sound of the fist hitting his face, even he felt quite painful.

The man on the ground suddenly counterattacked, and shot the person riding on him to the wall with one kick, and it really hit the wall, directly shooting a big hole.

Ren Baqian gasped when he saw this scene.

"Nobody cares?" Ren Baqian asked.

"What do you care? It's just a fight." Steward Shi wrote lightly.

"I don't see anyone going up to help?"

"Of course, the two of them are making circles. If anyone steps forward to intervene, they will be ridiculed to death." Shi Guan said.

At the same time, he warned Ren Baqian: "If someone asks you to make trouble, don't be afraid, just beat him up. Whether it's a court official or a commoner, just beat him up."

Ren Baqian thought about it for a long time. This drawing circle might mean a one-on-one fight. According to the literal understanding, whoever gets out of the circle loses.

"However, can you even beat up the lord Chaozhong?" Ren Baqian asked curiously.

"If he asks you to draw circles, of course it can. But you can't ask him to draw circles. If that happens, everyone in the court will die of exhaustion."

Ren Baqian grinned, as if it was similar to a duel in some ancient countries.

If you offend any big boss in the court and ask you to single out, you can fight back and beat him. And from Steward Shi's point of view, it seems that there is no need to worry about retaliation.

Comparing his own body and bones, all he saw these days were tall men with big men on their arms who could run horses. It is estimated that even if several of them were tied together, they would not be enough to be beaten.

Looking at the street fights in this world, Ren Baqian is seriously considering whether he should carry some self-defense such as electric baton anti-wolf spray with him.

"The adults in the court often find people to draw circles? For example, if you offend them, what will happen?"

"Ordinary people will only let the guards teach you if they provoke them. Unless the other party is also an adult in the court."

"Do the adults in the DPRK and China draw circles with each other?" Ren Baqian asked curiously again.

"Of course, there were fights in the Jinluan Hall every three days. A few days ago, the King Protector and General Zhenbei had approved drawing circles on the palace wall. At that time, the people below were all watching the battle. place."

Ren Baqian always felt awkward listening to this painting circle, but after listening to Steward Shi's words, he also had an intuitive understanding of Dayao's tough customs. Although he knew that Dayao had a tough folk style when chatting while drinking, but after hearing what Steward Shi said, he knew how tough he really is.

To be able to fight twice in three days in the Jinluan Palace, and the empress approved a one-on-one fight on the palace wall, just thinking about it makes people feel toothache.

Fortunately, it was on the palace wall, and there was no decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City.
