"Master Jiang, what's the job?" Zhao Lingxi stepped forward, pushed Liu Qianqian away, and looked at Jiang Zhen expectantly.
"Yeah, Mr. Jiang, what's the job?" Liu Qianqian squeezed in front of Zhao Lingxi again without a trace - if Jiang Zhen only had to work alone... Zhao Lingxi couldn't let Zhao Lingxi take the job.
God knows how annoying Liu Qianqian is to embroider!
In the past, occasionally embroidering a purse according to her own preferences was a pastime, and she was very happy, but now she is always forced to embroider some very boring things, and they are all large...
She doesn't want to make a living out of it at all!
Liu Qianqian thought so, so did Zhao Lingxi, so the two of you squeezed me and I squeezed you.
After such an open and secret struggle, there is no doubt that they are getting closer and closer to Jiang Zhen.
Brother Zhao Jin took a step forward and stopped directly in front of Jiang Zhen, preventing them from approaching: "You don't have to fight, you can do it as long as you want."
"It's so stingy." Liu Qianqian glared at Brother Zhao Jin, and Zhao Lingxi also gave Zhao Jin a blank look. They couldn't eat Jiang Zhen. Do they need to guard against them
Jiang Zhen did not treat these people badly. Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi had been raised in Hecheng County for more than half a year, and the wind was not blowing and the sun was not in the sun. It's so charming... Jiang Zhen suddenly felt a little unhappy - these two guys, what do you mean by looking at Brother Zhao Jin in such a charming way
"You stand up straight for me, don't look at people!" Jiang Zhen said: "As for this work, it's like this."
Jiang Zhen briefly introduced what he needed them to do.
Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi fell silent. This job is really good, but there is also the meaning of betraying their beauty. If those guests force...
"Don't worry, you don't need to sign a deed of betrayal. You can quit if you're not happy. Also, Qingfenglou will protect your safety. You won't be allowed to do anything you don't want to do." Jiang Zhen said.
Liu Qianqian came out of Fengyue Site. Back then, she wanted to escape and tried her best to coax the wealthy businessman to redeem herself, because the old lady was holding her contract of betrayal, and she couldn't get a penny of the money she made, not to mention. They will also be forced to pick up guests, but this time the situation is different.
According to Jiang Zhen, there is no need to sign a deed of sale, they will be paid wages, and the rewards given to them by the guests will also be given to them...
"I do!" Liu Qianqian said without hesitation.
"I would too." Zhao Lingxi also said.
The two of them fought openly and secretly just now, but now they are as good as their own sisters. They sing and sing together: "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, we will do our best!"
"Yes, we must abide by the regulations of Qingfenglou!"
"When the time comes, Mr. Jiang, you will let us be dignified and virtuous, and we will definitely not be ignorant."
…
Not only Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi, but also some of the women who were with them were willing to do this. It can be said that the group of "little concubines" of Jiang Zhen whom Shen An had met at the beginning had all survived.
Of course, some people don't want to.
Before Jiang Zhen kept these people on the side of the county, it was because Liu Qianqian had such a bold style. He was worried that if he took him to Hexi Village, Zhao Jinge would be jealous, or cause some kind of turmoil of jealousy. Now Liu Qianqian and others are willing to Going to Qingfenglou to work, the rest of the people don't need to worry about it.
Jiang Zhen intends to take all the remaining women and children to Hexi Village. When these people arrive there, those who don't want to marry can continue to make clothes or work in the cafeteria to support themselves. Those who want to marry can also find someone to marry. .
These days, sons are more important than women, and some people are reluctant to support their daughters, but three wives and four concubines are still legal, and big families use a lot of maids... The final result is that there is a shortage of women in the countryside.
Because of this, the vast majority of men don't care whether their daughter-in-law is a big girl or not, as long as there is a daughter-in-law. Of course, for a woman who has married, the man will give a lot less to the bride price, that's for sure.
Not to mention that there are still many men under Jiang Zhen's hands who were rescued from the water bandits...
The men who served him as sailors were not as well paid as the men he had specially trained. They were still outsiders and could not marry local women in Hexi Village. It was estimated that as long as someone was willing to marry them, they would be willing to marry them, and maybe they would be able to snatch them up.
Jiang Zhen was thinking about his daughter, and after letting Liu Qianqian, Zhao Lingxi and others think about it, he planned to leave.
At this time, Shen Anxin was still in a trance.
Looking at the interaction between Jiang Zhen and Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi, he naturally knew that these people could never be Jiang Zhen's concubine, so they lied to him at the beginning.
When he thought that Jiang Zhen was not a good man, Shen Anxin let go of his feelings for Jiang Zhen, but now, after knowing that it was a misunderstanding, the feelings that had been let go by him came surging, even more violent than before .
Jiang Zhen has always been very good, and he is sincere to Zhao Jinge.
Seeing Jiang Zhen's indifference in the face of temptation... Shen Anxin became even more jealous of Zhao Jinge.
However, the experience of the past six months has taught him to hide his emotions.
No matter what she thought in her heart, on the surface, Shen Anxin was always calm and didn't show anything, so she couldn't help but look back when she left.
Then, he saw Zhao Lingxi and Liu Qianqian make a face at him.
There is no doubt that these two people recognized him and still remember things... At that time, these people probably said that to him on purpose...
Shen Anxin finally lost his temper.
However, his gaffe was only for a moment, and soon, he came back to his senses, and then restrained his emotions.
After seeing these people, it was getting late. Zheng Yi immediately proposed to invite Jiang Zhen to the restaurant for dinner, but Jiang Zhen refused: "I want to go back to see the Pearl."
He brought Zhao Mingzhu just to spend more time with his daughter, and to take her out for a stroll.
"Why don't we go to your place to eat?" Zheng Yi said, "I'll also go to recognize the door."
Jiang Zhen nodded in agreement, fearing that the food prepared by Mrs. Li was not enough, on the way back, he specially bought a roast chicken and several kinds of cooked food, as well as a small jar of wine.
Jiang Zhen himself is not a good drinker. When he was in the army, they were not allowed to drink. He would drink when he came out, but he mainly drank beer. He could drink a little of other wines, but he didn't like them. Wine, that is, according to Zheng Yi's intention to buy, bought a jar of rice wine.
"This restaurant doesn't have any good wine, so this rice wine can be eaten..." Zheng Yi said, and said a few good wines, saying that those wines are worth drinking.
Feng Jingyuan knew wine very well, and immediately started talking to Zheng Yi. Shen Anxin could also catch up, but Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge were confused.
"My mother's dessert wine is very delicious." Zhao Jinge said, there is no shortage of food at home this summer, Zhao Liu used leftover rice mixed with wine and medicine to make sweet wine, and it was not delicious.
Jiang Zhen nodded, the wine made by Zhao Liu's is really good, even better than what he bought in the supermarket in modern times.
In the atmosphere when the two of them were talking, no one was allowed to intervene at all... Shen Anxin felt sore in his heart, thinking of some things that happened in the capital before.
After despairing of Jiang Zhen, he agreed to his mother's suggestion to marry him, and also accepted a maid prepared by his mother for him. Then, he found that he didn't like women, and even after trying it, he didn't want any more. to touch women.
Just to escape, he would leave the capital, but unexpectedly, he ran into Jiang Zhen again.
Several people soon came to Jiang Zhen's residence in the county seat.
Jiang Zhen didn't have high requirements for the house. The house looked ordinary from the outside, but the inside was clean and there were some furniture that looked different.
For example, in the dining room, in addition to the most common Eight Immortals table, a large wooden bed is attached to the wall. There are railings around, and inside... Zhao Mingzhu sat inside and threw a cloth ball filled with cotton.
She threw it in a mess, and giggled as she threw it. When she saw Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge coming in from outside, she was obviously very happy, but when she was happy, she fell backwards and turned her feet to the sky.
I couldn't get up because I was wearing too much.
Jiang Zhen's heart melted for a while, so he quickly went up to help her up, then threw her ball up, caught it by himself, and threw it to her.
Zhao Mingzhu smiled even happier.
"Master Jiang is really fond of Miss Jiang." Feng Jingyuan said: "Miss Jiang is also very lively and lovely."
"Yes, Mr. Jiang is so kind to Miss Jiang." Shen Anxin also said.
In fact, Zhao Mingzhu's surname is Zhao, but Zhao Jinge wouldn't deliberately say this to anyone, so he just nodded with a smile, but Zheng Yi said, "What is Miss Jiang, that's Miss Zhao."
"Miss Zhao?" Shen Anxin asked in surprise.
"Yeah, Jiang Zhen was married to the Zhao family." Zheng Yi said. At first, because he thought that Jiang Zhen should not want people to know about this matter, Zheng Yi never talked about this to anyone, but after getting along with him more, he realized that he was thinking too much.
Jiang Zhen didn't care about that at all.
Jiang Zhen really doesn't care about this, but he doesn't deliberately tell others about it. Therefore, Feng Jingyuan and Shen Anxin, who knew nothing about it before, suddenly heard such a thing, both of them were surprised.
Could it be that this seemingly inconspicuous brother Zhao Jin is actually very wealthy? If not, why would Jiang Zhen join the family
The two were a little curious, but Zheng Yi did not continue to talk.
After eating here at Jiang Zhen, Zheng Yi left. Shen Anxin still had a lot of questions that he didn't understand, but he couldn't ask to stay, so he could only leave.
However, he has already come to Hecheng County and can always figure it out.
Zheng Yi didn't intend to let Feng Jingyuan and Shen Anxin intervene in Qingfenglou's affairs. The next day, they separated them and talked with Jiang Zhen alone.
Feng Jingyuan came to Jiangnan to open up the market in Jiangnan. He couldn't follow Zheng Yi at the moment, so he visited Hecheng County. Shen Anxin thought about it, but hired a boat and went to Hexi Village. .
In a small village like Hexi Village, there used to be a foreigner, everyone was very wary, and would watch it as a rare event, but now because Jiang Zhen has built a wharf, more and more businessmen come and go. For many reasons, everyone is not surprised by foreigners.
In particular, Shen Anxin was full of extravagance. At first glance, he was a rich man, and they welcomed him even more.
Shen Anxin finally strolled around the pier, and inquired about Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge.
Thanks to Zhao Liu's family, Jiang Zhen treats Zhao Jinge very well, and everyone in Hexi Village doesn't know everyone. When Shen Anxin inquires casually, he finds countless information.
For example, Brother Zhao Jin was originally just a long-term worker of the big family of Zhao in the village, and he didn't even have a piece of land at home. As a result, Jiang Zhen took the "wage" from Jiang's family and went to his house to make money from business. The family developed. At this moment, Zhao Jinge's family is richer than Zhao's big family.
Another example, Zhao Jinge used to be a well-known man who couldn't marry, but he didn't expect to marry so well in the end...
"Brother Jin is a lucky man, and Jiang Zhen is also a lucky man. The life of the two of them will definitely get better." The woman from He Xicun who was talking to Shen Anxin said with emotion.
"Yeah." Shen Anxin nodded with a smile, but his heart became more and more resentful.
When he was in the capital before, although he liked Jiang Zhen and was a little jealous of Zhao Jinge, he never thought about destroying their relationship, but now...
Zhao Jinge is not as good as him in everything, why can he get Jiang Zhen's wholehearted treatment
If Jiang Zhen is not married to Zhao's family, but to their Shen family...
He can fulfill the expectations of his parents and inherit the lineage of the Shen family, and Jiang Zhen himself can also have a better starting point
Why didn't he meet Jiang Zhen earlier
When Shen Anxin returned to Zheng's house that day, his expression was a little dazed, until he saw Feng Jingyuan, he seemed to be poured cold water on his head, and then he calmed down.
No matter what he was thinking, he couldn't show it now.
However, if Jiang Zhen can be with him, based on the friendship between Jiang Zhen and Zheng Yi, what kind of Feng Jingyuan is this
Jiang Zhen didn't know anything about Shen Anxin's mind. From the beginning to the end, he didn't know that Shen Anxin liked him.
Now, he is pounced on the Qingfeng Building.
When Jiang Zhen was on a mission before, he had seen some gold-selling caves, and he could make a lot of suggestions at this time.
Not all of his suggestions are applicable, but Zheng Yi, who is well-informed, can always improve and supplement them. In this way, the various rules and regulations and operation methods of Qingfeng Tower are gradually improved.
Some of the women Jiang Zhen rescued from the water bandits, Jiang Zhen had already sent them to Hexi Village. As for Liu Qianqian and others, they were sent to the one provided by Zheng Yi to open the Qingfeng Tower. in the house, and then they began to learn to play cards.
Jiang Zhen and Zheng Yi didn't mean to use the dealer to make thousands. They just need to learn how to play, so the job is very simple, and they learn quickly. At the same time, the house is also decorated.
In order to make Qingfenglou open in a short period of time, Zheng Yi even provided some furniture ornaments from the Zheng family. Therefore, after only 20 days of work, the house looks like it.
That is to say, during this period of time, Shen Anxin often took advantage of Jiang Zhen and Zheng Yi's busyness to find Brother Zhao Jin, who followed Jiang Zhen to the county seat, and became familiar with Brother Zhao.
On this day, Shen Anxin went to find Brother Zhao Jin again.
When Shen Anxin came over, Zhao Jinge was reading and practicing calligraphy.
Even now, Zhao Jinge has not recognized all the characters, and the one-stroke character is not very good-looking, but he is very serious, and he practices a lot every day, and he has made great progress.
While practicing, Zhao Jinge couldn't help but think of Jiang Zhen, and the word in his pen became "Jiang Zhen".
"Brother Zhao Jin, are you practicing calligraphy?" Shen Anxin came in from the outside and asked with a smile, but he didn't like Brother Zhao Jin - Brother Zhao Jin, he practiced calligraphy on the dining table, and the big bed made of wooden planks next to it , his fat daughter is still sleeping soundly.
Is there any reader who practiced calligraphy like this
"Well." Brother Zhao Jin nodded at Shen Anxin.
As long as Shen Anxin is not interested in Jiang Zhen, Zhao Jinge still likes Shen Anxin very much, and even admires Shen Anxin very much, because Shen Anxin knows a lot of things.
The more he got along with Shen Anxin, the more he felt that he was useless.
For example, yesterday, when Shen Anxin told him about incense on clothes, he was quite at a loss.
Shen Anxin said that whether it is a man or a woman, he should keep clean, take care of his appearance, and incense his clothes properly... But he doesn't know anything about these.
Shen Anxin not only understands these things, but his knowledge is good. When he was studying, he didn't understand some things. When he asked Jiang Zhen, he couldn't ask anything. Obviously Jiang Zhen didn't understand either, but Shen Anxin knew all about it.
People's knowledge is really much better than himself and Jiang Zhen!
Before Shen Anxin approached, Zhao Jinge took a book and covered Jiang Zhen's name that he had written while practicing calligraphy, and said to Shen Anxin, "Shen Shao, why are you here so early today?"
"Didn't I tell you? Just call me An Xin." Shen An Xin said, and then put a small box in his hand on the table: "If you call me An Xin, I will call you Jin Ge'er. Come on! Brother Jin, didn’t I tell you yesterday that Shuang’er should also learn to take care of his appearance? I brought some tools today, do you want to try it?”
"No, I'm not used to it..." Brother Zhao Jin subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"It doesn't matter if you try!" Shen Anxin said, and then opened the box he brought.
"A razor?" Brother Zhao Jin glanced at it and saw a small knife, a little surprised.
Nowadays, many people like to have a beard, but Jiang Zhen doesn't like it. He always has a slightly longer beard and needs to be shaved with a knife, so Zhao Jinge is no stranger to razors.
However, they both have no beards. What is Shen Anxin doing with a razor
"This is a razor, but it's not for shaving, but for trimming your eyebrows." Shen Anxin said, "Your eyebrows are a little messy. If you trim them, they will look much better."
"No need..." Zhao Jinge wanted to refuse, but he has always been a person who is not very likely to refuse. Shen Anxin persuaded him after a while, and helped him trim his eyebrows.
Zhao Jinge was very handsome, but after Shen Anxin trimmed his eyebrows, his eyebrows went into his temples, and he looked a lot tougher.
"Shuang'er will smell like glutinous powder when you use common fat powders in the world. Those too white powders are not suitable for you, but you should also rub something on your face, and you can also use some darker powder... I will give it later. Paint your eyebrows." Shen Anxin took out a box of facial cream and wiped it on Zhao Jinge's face again.
Shen Anxin did this with bad intentions.
He is a twin son, but his father raised him wholeheartedly as a son, but he is very similar to his mother and looks very feminine.
His father was very worried about this, but later, his mother came up with a way to solve the problem.
His mother is a woman who loves beauty very much. She likes to fiddle with all kinds of things to make herself look more beautiful. She relied on this ability to trim Shen Anxin's eyebrows and brush him with eyebrow powder, which made him look like a man. .
Shen Anxin himself liked these things, so he learned a lot from his mother, and also figured out a suitable makeup method for him to make him look more like a man.
Now, he used this method on Zhao Jinge.
After Shen Anxin's tossing, Zhao Jinge looked very energetic, so no one could say that Shen Anxin's makeup on Zhao Jinge was not good, but at the same time... Zhao Jinge looked more like a man, and was still very cold.
Originally, after marrying Jiang Zhen and having a child, Zhao Jinge's temperament has changed a lot, and the whole person is much softer. When facing Jiang Zhen, all this was even more obvious, but at this moment, when Shen Anxin was tossed, the softness completely disappeared, and even the scar between his eyebrows was covered up so that it could not be seen clearly.
"Brother Jin, look, don't you look much better like this?" Shen Anxin took out the bronze mirror and showed it to Brother Zhao.
The person in the mirror is indeed a lot better looking, and I don't know how Shen Anxin got it on him. Some of the small scars on his face can't be seen. It's just... I don't know why he thinks it's weird, Zhao Jinge frowned subconsciously.
However, Shen Anxin spent so much time helping him, and he was always grateful.
"Thank you." Zhao Jinge said to Shen Anxin.
"No thanks." Shen Anxin smiled and said, "Brother Jin, you have to learn to take care of yourself in the future. Those men, they all like Shuang'er to take care of themselves clean and beautiful..."
Shen Anxin was talking when there was a noise outside, and Jiang Zhen came back.
"Brother Jin, is the meal ready?" Jiang Zhen stayed in Qingfenglou all morning, and was starving. He asked as soon as he entered the door, but he was stunned as soon as he finished asking.
Today's Zhao Jinge... looks very good-looking.
Everyone's aesthetics are different, Zhao Jinge's appearance is very in line with Jiang Zhen's aesthetics, and what he looks like today... I have to say, it is more in line with Jiang Zhen's aesthetics.
Obviously, Zhao Jinge didn't see much change, but it was indeed different. Jiang Zhen always felt that he was very attractive.
"You... Today is a little different." Jiang Zhen hesitated, wanting to touch Zhao Jin-ge.
"Is it... not good-looking?" Zhao Jinge became worried: "I put on makeup today, I..."
Jiang Zhen has always disliked things like rouge and gouache. He put on makeup today. Will Jiang Zhen have any opinions
Brother Zhao Jin regretted it very much at this moment. If he had known, he should not have promised Shen Anxin.
"No... It's pretty." Jiang Zhen swallowed, "How did you do it?" He heard that all the male stars had to wear makeup before, but he didn't think so.
In the future, if Zhao Jin-ge does it like this, it will be fine, of course it doesn't matter if you don't do it.
"An Xin helped me get it." Brother Zhao Jin said.
"Yeah, Mr. Jiang, I helped Brother Jin get it. His skin looks much better, doesn't he?" Shen Anxin asked with a smile.
"Well." Jiang Zhen nodded, but his brows were wrinkled.
This Shen Anxin... is Zhao Jin Ge Jin Ge Er? Also, did he put makeup on Zhao Jinge
Jiang Zhen knew that Brother Zhao Jin had absolutely no idea about makeup, so the things on his face were probably made by Shen Anxin.
This Shen Anxin has been looking for Zhao Jinge all day recently, and let Zhao Jinge talk about him all day long. Now he still gives Zhao Jinge makeup and eyebrows? !
What does he mean? !
Before, when Zhao Jinge kept talking about Shen Anxin's good knowledge, Jiang Zhen, who was compared by Shen Anxin and couldn't see Zhao Jinge's adoring eyes, was already a little unhappy. Today's situation makes him a little sour.
Seeing Jiang Zhen seemed a little unhappy, Shen Anxin was very happy: "Mr. Jiang, are you hungry? Sister Li has already prepared the meal, and it will be ready for dinner soon."
As he spoke, he went to clean up the pen and paper left by Zhao Jinge's calligraphy practice on the table.
"I'll just come..." Zhao Jinge wanted to stop it, but it was too late. Shen Anxin had already removed the book he was using to cover up, and revealed the "Jiang Zhen" he had written all over the paper.
Zhao Jinge was a little shy, but Shen Anxin was overjoyed - Zhao Jinge wrote Jiang Zhen's name? He even spelled Jiang Zhen's name wrong!
The word "Jiang Zhen" is not written like this at all!
"Brother Jin, what did you write about Jiang Zhen?" Shen Anxin said, "Why did you spell Jiang Zhen's name wrong? If others see this, they will think you are uneducated."
The two characters "Jiang Zhen" written by Zhao Jinge are simplified Chinese characters and were taught by Jiang Zhen at the beginning.
He also knew that these two words were not right, but Jiang Zhen taught it like this, so he wrote it like this, and he has not changed it.
When Shen Anxin pointed it out, Zhao Jinge was a little embarrassed, and glanced at Jiang Zhen again - Jiang Zhen probably didn't learn the characters well, that's why he taught him to write wrong, and now people say... This... Jiang Zhen? anger
Jiang Zhen would of course be angry.
Shen Anxin came to look for Zhao Jinge all day long, showed his knowledge in front of Zhao Jinge, and helped Zhao Jinge put on makeup, but now he even said that he has no culture...
Jiang Zhen's face turned black.
