Chapter 82 Reward you with a melon seed

In the theater of the Drum Tower, a "Farewell My Concubine" was performed soundly, accompanied by the actor to the wonderful singing, and the cheers around him were endless.

Liu Nengxian was fascinated and couldn't help applauding. Occasionally, he would say a reward. Lin Yuqing, who had been standing behind him, consciously rewarded a flower. A flower was fifty taels of silver. After this play, Liu Nengxian, a fan, had rewarded no less than six flowers, which made Lin Yuqing's heartache. But the young master has said that as long as he can make Lord Liu happy.

Chen Moran beside him didn't pay attention to it. He didn't like to listen to the play. Of course, if this was an opera, maybe he was already asleep, but he was tired of coping with it and had to deal with it.

In a month and a half in Jiangning, in addition to occasionally going to Ma'anshan, which has become a large construction site, most of the time, they accompanied these officials in Jiangning City. For example, Liu Nengxian was pulled out to accompany a guest from Shandong, Xu Shichang, Shandong governor Yuan Shi. Kai, the staff of Yuan Gongbao.

A lot of people entered the theater one after another. Liu Nengxian and Xu Shichang were all official, but they were led to sit in the front row. Farewell My Concubine was performing in a lively place. When Liu Nengxian was watching the wonderful part of the play, Xu Shichang and Chen Moran, who were not in the play, only looked at it a few times and began to talk.

Xu Shichang nod with a smile.

"Lord Chen, Lord Liu is wise-eyed. He knows your talents used by the country. He even invites the Empress Dowager and Lord Bao Chen from the title of three grades. It is the autumn of survival and death. The empress dowager and the emperor are unwilling to eat and sleep restless. If the Holy Dynasty wants to be a rise, the first thing is to use people. Although it can't be said that one person can rejuvenate the country, with talents, the affairs of the country are not out of control. I think he said that Lord Chen will definitely be valued by the empress dowager and the emperor.

This time, Xu Shichang came to Jiangning from Jinan to help Yuan Gongbao buy a batch of arms. Although Yuan Gongbao signed a contract for mutual insurance in the southeast, because of the caution of various countries, he restricted him from purchasing bullets. However, the training of the Wuwei Right Army consumed a lot of ammunition. Now the Wuwei Right Army has a tight stock of ammunition, so he came to Jiangning to ask Liu, the governor of Liangjiang. The adult turned around on his behalf, but he didn't want to come to Jiangning. He heard that a few days ago, Chen Moran, who had just been rewarded by the order of the empress dowager, was given the yellow horse coat and the glory of riding in front of the palace. These things can be bought with silver, and Chen Moran was indeed bought with silver, which is not rare.

But the Pudong and Jianghuai Road mines can't be bought by ordinary people with silver. Not to mention Liu Kunyi's appreciation of Chen Moran, or what's inside story is in them, but these two things need tens of millions of taels of silver to pile up. Recently, Chen Moran's industrial company's means of raising money really let Xu Shichang was shocked by his financial resources, which made him want to make friends.

Just now, I noticed that Liu Nengxian looked at the reward from time to time, but Xu Shichang smiled in his heart and scolded "short-sighted people" in his heart. Li Zhongtang had Sheng Xuanhuai to open his eyes, but there were many military officers and staff next to Yuan Gongbao, but there were only a few good use of silver.

Although Zhou Jizhi is also good at merchants, it is far from Chen Moran. However, he was moved by the encirclement of Chen Moran. Yuan Gongbao was at the time of employing people. If he found this person, he was afraid that this trip to Jiangsu would not be in vain.

Chen Mo Ran seems to be a little modest and even cautious.

"In front of you, how dare you call yourself an adult? I hope Lord Xu won't mention your words again!"

The caution is not because of Xu Shichang, but because of Yuan Shikai behind Xu Shichang. Even those who don't know history know who Yuan Shikai is. Now he may only be the governor of Shandong, but after Li Hongzhang's death, Yuan Shikai will be promoted to the minister of Beiyang and become the founder of the Beiyang warlords. Ten years later, he will dig that In the tomb of the Qing Dynasty, such people naturally need to make friends.

"That's right, Bu Wu asked him to call Lord Chen his younger brother!"

Although it is a simple sentence, Xu Shichang has brought his relationship with Chen Moran much closer.

"It's a silent blessing to be appreciated by the five brothers!"

How could Chen Moran not know the truth of beating snakes? No matter who Yuan Shikai is, it's better to have a little relationship with such a person than to have nothing to do with it.

"Yes, in all dynasties, the world regarded business as a flood and beast, which was really a big mistake. Today, the state affairs are not peaceful. According to our capital, the taxes of the eight countries are reduced. After Xu said, in order to solve the return of the imperial court, I am afraid that after the two palaces return to the court, Xu will take the move to promote business. At that time, we will need such a virtuous and capable person with worldly talent to promote business, solve the worries of the imperial court, and enrich the people from Yuan Gongbao to Shandong. Although Shandong advocates business, but In recent years, due to the chaos of boxing bandits, although Yuan Gongbao tried his best to calm down, Shandong has been in a bad place for a long time, and a big merchant like Ranzhi is needed to sort out Shandong's industry. I don't know if he has time to go to Shandong!"

Although in front of Liu Nengxian, Xu Shichang did not hide it at all, just said to himself. When he said this, Liu Nengxian, who had always seemed to be immersed in the play, but before Chen Moran could speak, he took a word.

"Yes, when you listen to the play, you have to pay attention to it so that you can taste it!"

Hearing this sentence in Chen Moran's ear, he immediately understood the intention of Liu Nengxian's words, smiled at Xu Shichang, and then returned his attention to the stage. Xu Shichang's words were clear, but Liu Nengxian reminded himself to concentrate, or be loyal.

And Xu Shichang would not understand what Liu Nengxian meant, but he was laughing in his heart. The Liu family has no successor! In his heart, he had a little more grasp of merging Chen Moran. He was not a gentleman. Liu Nengxian had nothing to do. He said that Lord Liu had passed away. Even if the Liu family had a kindness to Chen Moran, he was afraid that he would change the door.

"Meng Bu's fifth brother is wrongly in love, but if the business of this iron factory is completed, I'm afraid that Brother Bu will talk to Lord Gong Bao at that time, and please take care of Bu Wu at that time!"

Chen Moran listened to Xu Shichang's words and nodded. He knew that it was rare for this person to say so. The reason why he said that before was to test this person. This person is a typical vendor. This kind of person is the easiest to control.

"Two adults, wait a moment, go and come silently!"

He is not in the play, left and right are boring, and he doesn't want to have a relationship with the Liu family because of Xu Shichang. Chen Moran got up and apologized, dragged his broken leg with a crutch, and walked out of the theater. It's better to take a breath when he went out to find a stall outside.

Draging a broken leg with plaster to accompany people to watch the play. I'm afraid that only Chen Moran can feel the helplessness during this time.

"A Qing, you are waiting for two adults by your side!"

When Lin Yuqing was just ready to follow, Chen Moran ordered and gave him another look, and then walked out of the theater.

When he arrived outside the theater, he was about to get on the carriage and take a breath, but Chen Moran saw at the gate of the theater. One person was squatting and selling melon seeds, eating melon seeds while blowing something with others, all like a story. So he bought some melon seeds and went to the tea stall opposite to eat melon seeds. It was better to eat ashes on the roadside than to accompany the two "uncles" there.

Liu Jingxuan happened to come out with a maid and was also drinking tea at the tea stall. Chen Moran sat down. Before she said anything, Cui Xi first recognized the man with a crutch.

"Little...Young master, isn't this the lame...man!"

Liu Jingxuan nodded. It was the one who saved herself and let her father eat it. A few months ago, her father went to see this man and wanted to apologize. When she got home, she was sullen. Thinking that her father had fallen into his hands twice and again, she was a little upset. She smiled and stood next to her.

"This brother, you..."

"I haven't seen that I'm choking on melon seeds! If you want to sit down, just sit down! You can eat melon seeds at will, and you can pay for the tea!"

Chen Moran also raised the melon seeds in his hand. At the same time, as soon as he looked up, he saw the extremely handsome and smiling face of the "master" sitting in front of him. The young master's appearance made him stunned and took a closer look. It seemed that... I remembered that although she was a little dizzy that day, she did not forget the girl's appearance.

I dare to read too much of this girl's play! It can be seen at a glance that it is a Xibei goods!

Chen Moran was happy to see the girl sitting in front of her as a man. The girl really thought that this dress could be hidden from others, didn't she?

Liu Jingxuan, who was wearing men's clothes for the first time, really thought that the lame man in front of her didn't recognize herself. She coughed softly and pressed her voice.

"Well... Thank you, brother, Xiao Er, pour three bowls of tea!"

"Thank you! No thanks! Seeing the little brother's handsome appearance, I'll treat you to this tea!"

Chen Moran, who was pulled out to listen to the play because of a broken leg, was happy at this time. The girl dressed up as a man and ran to her. I'm afraid she didn't just want to drink tea with herself.

Looking at the brilliance in the man's eyes, Liu Jingxuan almost didn't want to dig out the squeapman's eyes. How could this squeapman look at a man like this! Hmm! Liu Jingxuan's evaluation of this seemingly dignified person fell down a little.

"Thank you, brother, that is, the previous brother said, tea is still my brother's treat!"

When she said this, Liu Jingxuan almost suppressed her anger in her heart. What was the ability of this cripple? She could make her father fall into his hands twice.

"Why do you need to be so polite between you and my brothers? If you say it's for me, it's for you!"

Chen Moran looked generous, but he smiled secretly in his heart how to find fun on this girl. These days, it was a stuffy word, and it happened that the fun came to find himself.

"This man... hateful!"

Although she said so in her heart, Liu Jingxuan smiled and did not compete with this person. Instead, she stretched out the orchid finger and pinched the melon seeds, but then Chen Moran's behavior almost didn't even make her spit on the melon seed shell on the man's face.

Seeing the girl holding the slender hand of the melon seeds, Chen Moran laughed. At the same time, as soon as he grasped this pair of delicate hands, the boneless hands only made his heart flutter.

"Ts, t, t! The little brother's slender hands... It's really as the book says. The hands are like soft, and the skin is like gelling..."

"You...you..."

Suddenly, Chen Moran grabbed his hand, and Liu Jingxuan was so shocked that she almost lost her breath. Cui Xi beside her even widened her eyes, small... No! The young master has taken advantage of it!

"Ts, tt... The little brother's hand is like a woman. I really don't know if that girl can have that blessing and enter the little brother's house!"

Holding this seemingly boneless and struggling delicate hand, Chen Moran is the joy in his heart! In this era, I'm afraid there is nothing more complacent than this kind of advantage. What does it mean to mute eat Huanglian? This girl's film is now. He looked up and saw the girl's angry pink face, and he went on.

"Ts, t, t! The head and moth eyebrows, the smile is beautiful, and the beautiful eyes are looking forward to..."

Seeing that the girl was so angry that she was about to cry, of course, Chen Moran knew that it was appropriate and quickly let go of her hand.

"The little brother seems to be a little thin. In this way, if you have nothing to do in the afternoon, you will take you to a place to have some fun. Being a man is as tender as you are, and you will suffer losses in the future. In case you can't hold your daughter-in-law, you will be laughed at!"

The hand was released, and she dared to put her hand on the table. She quickly received it under the table, and her beating heart beat for a long time before it calmed down.

"...you, how can you be like this..."

Liu Jingxuan, who was a little angry, blushed and almost didn't slap this man in the face. After a long time, she came to her senses and realized that she was a man and couldn't be too excited.

Although he didn't finish the words, he added a "shameless" hat to the cripple in his heart. Until then, he finally knew why his father fell into the hands of this cripple. He was more shrewd than his father, and he was clearly... more shameless than his father! It's rare for a person to be shameless. There are people holding the girl's hand and talking here!

Liu Jingxuan, who cursed Chen Muran in his heart and put one hat after another on him, obviously forgot that now he is a man, and the reason for men and women can't be used on two men.

When Chen Moran was secretly happy and thinking about how to flirt with this Xibei, Lin Yuqing, who was left in the theater by Chen Moran, came out and looked for the young master sitting opposite.

"Young master, the play is almost over. It's time for you to go in!"

At this time, as soon as he looked up, he saw the people sitting in front of the young master coming, and even saw the Cuixi sitting at the side table. Although they were all dressed in men's clothes, Lin Yuqing was not blind enough to be beaten by Zhu Jialiang for a while. He really scolded him for the scourge of "eye-opening things". This meeting these two people, even if the young master was Sitting here, he can't hold the fire.

"Young master, it's these two people, it's this man's carriage that broke your foot!"

"This Aqing!"

As soon as he heard this, Chen Moran almost didn't want to slap him. He didn't want to die, but he would say that it didn't ruin his good deeds!

Seeing that she was exposed by the lame servant, Liu Jingxuan was still a little embarrassed. When she was about to say something, she saw the look on Chen Moran's face. She immediately realized that she had been teased by this lame man from beginning to end, and even a servant could recognize herself, let alone this liar!

In an instant, Liu Jingxuan's face turned red, and her beautiful big eyes were full of anger, and even some tears flashed. She was serious about this cripple, and this cripple was too shameless! He... he has seen through himself, and he even... takes advantage of himself!

Being stared at by those eyes, Chen Moran smiled awkwardly.

"I just... I didn't recognize Miss Yan in front of me. It's really Meng Lang to the extreme, and..."

As soon as Liu Jingxuan, who was very angry, heard this, she raised her hand and wanted to slap the shameless person in the face. However, when her hand was first fanned, she was caught by Chen Moran and grabbed the girl's hand. Chen Moran's original embarrassment disappeared. She stared at the girl and looked directly at her.

"If you dare to slap me, I will dare..."

Being grabbed by the squeal, Liu Jingxuan's ear beads suddenly turned red, and at the same time, she moved her delicate body uneasily. I don't know if it was psychological. I always felt that the warm breath he exhaled intentionally or unintentionally brushed the skin on her cheeks. The hot breath sprayed on her slender pink neck. An indescribable feeling of numbness and itching spread behind her neck, making her heart almost beat a few beats, but this person's words made Liu Jingxuan angry. Come on, thinking that I was humiliated by him like this, but the other hand in my heart was raised again.

"Bang!" A slap in the face sounded on the other side of the face, but the numbness on the face made Chen Moran angry! He looked at the girl angrily, looked at her with a smile again, and then lowered his head. Despite Liu Jingxuan's surprise and panic, he kissed her.

"Well..."

Suddenly, Liu Jingxuan's charming eyes stared, and the only sound she made in a hurry was a scream, but it disappeared between her lips in an instant. The cherry lips were soft and warm, which only made Chen Moran's heart wripple.

Although he was not satisfied with this superficial contact, Chen Moran vaguely felt the girl's crying appearance and let her go.

As soon as she was released by the lame, Liu Jingxuan quickly took a few breaths. When Cui Xi, who had just rushed over, looked at the lame, her eyes gushed out of fire. She almost wanted to kill the lame who humiliated the young lady's innocence with a knife. Just as she was about what she wanted to say, Liu Jingxuan stopped her.

"Hi! Let's go home!"

When Liu Jingxuan said this, her pretty face was white without a trace of blood. At the same time, she looked up at the lame who humiliated her.

"You...you are shameless..."

"No... I'm sorry!"

Looking at the girl's bloody face in front of him, Chen Moran suddenly understood what he had done. What he had done was enough to hang the girl in front of him. Now it is not a hundred years later, and the same girl in front of him is not a girl a hundred years later.

"In a word, can you lose money?"

Liu Jingxuan showed a miserable smile. Almost when she was kissed by this squeal, she suddenly understood that maybe all this was provoked by herself. She couldn't afford to provoke this shameless squeal. Can't she hide?

"Hi, let's go!"

Liu Jingxuan said again that when she left, Chen Moran even saw that her shoulders were still sobbing. She... She couldn't think about it!

"Young master, you...hey..."

Lin Yuqing also sighed at this time. How could the young master do such a thing?
