Syndicate Growth Manual

When Zhao Chen returned to the Osmanthus Garden, it was already the second watch, the crescent moon hung high, and the ground was like water.Zhengyang Huaixi sat alone on the porch, drowsy, the curtain of the main room was rolled up, and there was light inside.

He took off his shoes and stepped into the main room. Lichun and Lixia who were on duty tonight were doing needlework beside a bronze standing lamp. When they saw him, they immediately put down their needle baskets and bowed to the ground.He waved his hand, and walked to Hu's bed silently, and saw that the bed was covered with a silk summer quilt, which was bulging.

He reached out and patted: "Anu?"

Xia was thrown open abruptly, and a small figure rushed towards him.

Without changing his face, Zhao Chen stretched out his hand to catch it, and hugged the raiding Zhao Xiaoyuan with one arm.

He blamed: "Why are you always so naughty? What if Father doesn't catch it?"

Zhao Yuan laughed for a long time, put his small arms around his neck and said in a silly way: "I only jumped at it when I saw it! Father is so strong, and I only weigh it. How can I not catch it?"

Zhao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and reprimanded him: "It's just arrogance!"

He waved at Lichun Lixia, and the two retreated silently, and put down the bamboo curtain again.Without the moonlight, the room was suddenly darker, but it looked very warm and peaceful.

Zhao Chen hugged his son and lay down on the Hu bed, touched his little face and asked in a low voice, "It's so late, why don't you go to sleep?"

Zhao Yuan originally wanted to fool around, but when he lay on the familiar chest and looked at his father's gentle eyes, he finally curled his lips and replied in a low tone: "Father, I'm going to have a younger brother, right?"

In fact, he felt that his expression was very calm and his tone was very natural. However, from Zhao Chen's point of view at this moment, he only felt that his son's expression was lost, and his tone was extremely wronged, which caused a sense of reluctance and burning pain in his heart.

Zhao Chen's voice couldn't help becoming stiff: "Did someone give you shame? You tell Father!"

Comrade Anu was startled, raised his head and shook his head: "No! This is a good thing, why would someone give me face, it's nothing!"

He was always innocent and cute in front of Fan, and he didn't pretend to be intentional, but what he showed in front of his father was his true temperament, so that General Zhao always felt that someone in the house was behind his back and treated Anu badly. As a result, his Anu was mature from time to time when he spoke at a young age.

Zhao Chen touched him with great regret and said, "Anu, if a large family wants to prosper, it must be impossible to rely on one person. My father will always be gone one day. If you have a brother, you will not be helpless." There is nothing to rely on, so Fan's family has a child, and Father is very happy."

Zhao Yuan leaned his little head against his neck and listened quietly to his reasoning.

Zhao Chen said: "... I originally told you that your mother has no children in this life, and can only rely on you, and wants you to be well. You respect your mother and make friends with her, and I have no objection... But now the situation is different. It's different, although a woman is weak, she is strong as a mother, she must make plans for her own children, and may have conflicts of interest with you in the future, so from now on you have to respect her and stay away from her."

He added: "As long as my father is around, I will take you by my side and protect you."

Zhao Yuan didn't say a word, and as he listened, his eyes became inexplicably blurred.Zhao Chen thought he didn't know, but he was actually a soul from another world.

He knows everything.

He knew that not only was he not Zhao Chen's legitimate son, he was not even Zhao Chen's biological child.

People in this era attach so much importance to family inheritance, but Zhao Chen said that he can rely on only after he has brothers, but he said that he does not need to please his aunt in the future... This is not what he said to himself.

Zhao Yuan didn't feel wronged, from the moment he was picked up by Zhao Chen, he never felt wronged again.Ancient times are not comparable to modern times in terms of material, but in his previous life he had no father or mother, no power or power, anyone could make him angry, but in this life he has a good father, no matter how much money is given to him, he will not change it!

He was close to Zhao Chen, and said in a soft voice: "Father... I will treat my younger brothers and sisters well."

Zhao Chen's heart suddenly felt like a piece had collapsed, limp.He tilted his head and kissed Zhao Yuan's head, and hugged his son tightly.

This warm and sweet atmosphere only lasted for a while.He hugged the limp child in his arms, and suddenly smelled a sweet smell in his nose. If he wanted to talk about it, he had smelled it since just now.

Zhao Chen only thought for a while before suddenly realizing it, and the curvature of the corner of his mouth turned into a sneer.

"Anu, is there anything else you haven't said to Weifu?"

Zhao Xiaoyuan wiped the moisture from his eyes on the general's clothes, and lifted his little heart that had just been put down.

He stammered: "What, what? I'm done talking..."

Zhao Chen sat up with him, and then lifted the summer quilt, and sure enough, a sweet fragrance came to his nostrils.Zhao Yuan's face changed drastically, and he immediately covered his buttocks and sprinted to the ground, then slipped to the edge of the bamboo curtain.

Zhao Chen on the other end looked for it, and found a bag of honeydew wrapped in fine paper under a thin layer of mattress, his face suddenly turned black like the bottom of a pot.

He raised his head and glanced at his son: "Are you stealing just now?"

Fortunately, he thought that the little thing was wiping tears under the quilt, and his heart ached so much!

Zhao Yuan was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "I haven't eaten, I really haven't eaten!" His tone was much more respectful and flattering.

Zhao Chen didn't even bother to talk, stepped forward and hugged his son, squeezed his small mouth open, and swiped around with his big tongue, his mouth was full of sweetness!

Fuck... trough, what the hell is a scholar who meets a soldier and falls ten times with one force.

Zhao Xiaoyuan was pinned on the Arhat's bed by his father and beat hard ten times, thinking about it crying.

The happiest people in this world are children, and the most unlucky ones are also children, without human rights, freedom, and chastity!When I was a child, not only was the adult taking off his pants, undressing, touching his head, pinching his face and pinching his butt, but also eating the food chewed by adults!Even sneaking chewing gum and risking losing your first kiss—and then the fuck did! !

After Zhao Chen beat his son, he called Lichun Lixia Zhengyang Huaixi and the others to come in.

He gave a simple and rude order: "If I find Dalang stealing candy from now on, you will each receive ten sticks and deduct half a year's monthly salary." The girls and boys were so frightened that they fell on the ground and did not dare to look up. Nono said yes.

Zhao Yuan pursed the remaining trace of sugar in his mouth and moaned angrily.His father's words are not explaining to his servants, but clearly warning him.He has been like this since he was a child. If he makes a mistake, he will be stubborn. Comrade Da Zhao will punish him by punishing the people around him.

Well, he just wants to eat sweets. He loves sweets at this age. Year-and-a-half's mouth is good, no, good!

Zhao Chen watched Zhao Xiaoyuan rinse his mouth, checked himself again, and then lay back on the bed with him in his arms.On a scorching hot day, Zhao Yuan was sweating all over, and irritably stomped on Zhao Chen's thigh with his foot, but he was violently suppressed again of course.

While fanning him with a fan, a certain father reprimanded him in a low voice: "What a mess! Go to sleep!"

Zhao Yuan wanted to raise his voice, but in the end he protested in a low voice: "I don't...I want to eat honey!" As he spoke, he became more and more confident. Could it be that the majestic Zhongjun Mansion still lacks a few pieces of candy?Such a trivial matter, why did he want to beat him in the butt?

Simply inexplicable!

Outraged!

fascist!

Zhao Chen was also helpless.Thinking about how he entered the military camp at the age of ten, fought all the way to the position of commander in chief of the three armies, even though there were many powerful generals under his command, few of them dared to play tricks in front of him, let alone the people in the mansion, but in this life he met Zhao A Slave this little evil star!

He patted Zhao Yuan's little butt and said, "Which one had a toothache last night and swore to his father that he would never be greedy for sweets again?"

no, not me...

The corners of Zhao Yuan's mouth twitched, and he moved his butt guiltily.

Zhao Chen pretended not to notice: "Anu, do you know that Lu Hui is so talented, why is she willing to be my retainer?"

"Hey?"

A certain father said slowly: "Because he ate bad teeth when he was young, although he made military exploits with his father, he couldn't be an official because of his poor appearance, and he couldn't even get a wife, so he had to entrust me to protect him, hoping to live in the mansion in the future. "

so miserable? !

Zhao Yuan faltered immediately, and lay on top of him listlessly.

"Then...then Lu Bo is too pitiful..." He hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and promised, "I will never steal candy again from now on."

Zhao Chen hummed lightly, with a smile seeping into his eyes.

It is true that Lu Hui cannot be an official due to lack of teeth, but he did not marry a wife because he is romantic and does not want to be burdened by his family...Of course, he will not tell the truth to Zhao Xiaoyuan for this reason.

Now that he achieved his goal, Zhao Chen stopped scaring his son and continued to fan his son to smooth his hair.

Zhao Yuan squinted his eyes in the cool breeze and sighed silently.

He usually hid the candy very tightly, and it cost him a whole dollar, which can buy [-] dou if it is exchanged for corn!In this life, fifteen buckets of millet are the food of Ding Nan for half a month.In other words, his bag of candy is enough for people to eat corn and rice for more than a month!

However, he also knew it was for his own good.In this era, everyone loves beauty, and even men in aristocratic families like to put on makeup and powder, and even toothbrushes and toothpaste have appeared. If anyone cuts a tooth, unless he can hold back a grin for the rest of his life, he will be disgusted by others.Furthermore, ancient times are not like modern times. Tooth decay can be pulled out, and it can be planted after extraction, which is still the same as your own. Now there are false teeth, but unfortunately they are really "fake" and cannot be chewed at all. , that is, it looks better.

When Zhao Yuan thinks about Lu Hui, he can be considered a handsome guy, but it's a pity that when he opens his mouth, he has a big gap in his teeth.He couldn't help shaking.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Chen had a set of punches in the martial arts arena. Before he entered the room, he saw a certain Douding brushing his teeth wholeheartedly. , the little girls next to me laughed together, giggling.

"Is it clean?" He asked with his mouth open.

Zhao Chen shook his head and stepped into the room: "If you can do this every day, why do you need to look in the mirror?"

Lichun and the others were taken aback, they quickly restrained their smiles and went about their own business, and couldn't help but curse in their hearts: Mr. Wang walks like that cat, without making any sound at all.

Zhao Yuan rinsed his mouth and waved his hand to signal for the people to take all the things away before he had the time to refute his father's words.

He said eloquently: "Using copper as a mirror can straighten your clothes. People will only be energetic when they look in the mirror and see that they are clean."

Zhao Chen glanced at him: "This is a novelty, and there is some truth to it... But what energy do you need to wash up in the morning? Don't you need energy to eat?"

How can this be compared?Zhao Yuan secretly rolled his eyes.

Well, he admits that he actually just hates brushing his teeth and showering.In his previous life, no one gave him advice. He even brushed his teeth after breakfast.What's more, people have to worry about food and clothing in order to worry about image problems. He has to fight for food every day. Who has time to take care of personal hygiene?

The author has something to say: It’s too far away from my childhood, I really don’t understand why children love sweets so much... But this kind of stalk is so cute, a male classmate of mine is studying abroad, and his son is less than one year old. Small thick eyebrows and big eyes, white, fat and cute!The point is that my classmate is completely a silly father, holding his son as a pendant every day... Every time I get bored, I look at the picture of the little guy smirking, and Emma will feel better... To be honest, it is quite funny for a father to bring a child , It is more emotional to bring up with your own hands.

In addition, fifteen buckets of millet are the half-moon eclipse of men. It comes from the "Salt and Iron Theory" in the Western Han Dynasty, which can represent the economic level of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty... However, the price measurement and measurement of each era is different, so I feel dizzy after all the calculations.Anyway, one stone = ten buckets. According to the theory of salt and iron, one bucket is basically equal to a catty of rice in modern times. An adult man with a large appetite can still eat a catty of rice a day, not to mention the hulling of corn.

I said before that one stone = 120 catties, which is an ancient weight and measure. One bucket a day is equal to one catty of rice, which is converted into the current catty.Otherwise, this "Salt and Iron Theory" is too exaggerated. Who can eat 12 catties of corn a day?

In addition, the currency setting in this article is like this. One dollar coin = 1000 baht and one tael of silver = 100 dollars and one tael of gold = ten taels of silver. Corn is relatively inexpensive. The main food crops are 2 baht per catty, rice It is expensive, and generally the land of the nobles is self-produced and sold.The market may be full of old rice sold by big families.
