Republic of China small businessman

Luo Nianqiu was tall and handsome, he looked rather chivalrous, probably related to a soldier, his back was straight after he sat down.

Because Cao Yunzhao came to Sichuan to take office, he was closer to Xichuan, got up and introduced: "Everyone, this is Luo Nianqiu, General Luo." When I was studying in the capital, the relationship between the elders in my family was good, because I came to Meishan to take up the post, and the journey was far away, and my family was worried about it, so I asked General Luo to give me a ride, and I never thought about encountering Xichuan on the way."

The several salt merchants present in Xichuan naturally expressed their thanks.

Luo Nianqiu got up and said: "Luo is a rough man, he opened the skylight to speak bluntly, this time the Yunmeng Bandits are not ordinary people who block the road and rob money, but deserters who escaped because of the Yicheng war. In response, there will be deserters coming from the direction of Yicheng one after another. I have given orders to the military department. Since I see them, I will naturally not stand idly by. I will lead troops to garrison Yunmeng, and return to Rongcheng Mansion after solving the Xichuan matter."

As soon as this remark came out, the salt merchants who were a little panicked just now gradually calmed down.

Someone asked about the time limit, Luo Nianqiu replied: "Everyone, don't panic, I have contacted Yicheng for martial law, just to defend the small group of people who escaped, at most half a month, you can be safe and sound."

Xie Siquan looked at Xu Jun, and after seeing the other party nod insignificantly, Patriarch Xie stood up and toasted: "Then I will offer General Luo a glass of thin wine on behalf of the people of Xichuan City. If there is any need, money, food, etc., I, Xichuan, will definitely support the general with all my strength." .”

When he said this, the salt merchants sitting around him immediately stood up and toasted: "I, Xichuan, will definitely support the general with all my strength!"

Luo Nianqiu got up and picked up the wine glass in front of him, raised his head and drank it dry, revealing the bottom of the glass.

He didn't make a fuss, he was straightforward.

Everyone in Xichuan was also relieved, they didn't lack money and food, but they didn't want to be a fat sheep in the mouth of any bandit soldier, and the taste of a guillotine on their heads was not good.

Xu Jun drank a glass of wine slowly, sat beside Xie Siquan, and quietly observed Luo Nianqiu.He has been at the entrance of the canyon today and witnessed General Luo's deeds with his own eyes. Although this man is young, he is extremely strict in leading troops. He is completely different from those he has seen before, and he is a person who can be friends with.

Luo Nianqiu is also under Mr. Huang's family. After coming to Zhuandou Township and drinking a few glasses of wine, he went to see Huang Mingyou.

Huang Mingyou was at the next table, and the table was full of acquaintances. He Dongting sat there with him, and Bai Mingyu and Xie Jing were on the side, watching the atmosphere much more cheerful.

Luo Nianqiu respected his teacher, went up to pour wine for Mr. Huang himself, and said a few words with him.

Xie Jing looked behind the other party, subconsciously waiting for Master Jiu to appear.

Luo Nianqiu glanced at him and poured a glass of wine for Xie Jing: "He and Cao Er are socializing later, don't worry, they didn't drink too much."

Xie Jing held the wine glass and thanked him in a low voice.

Luo Nianqiu thought this person was interesting, but he had a delicate heart, who was transparent at all, so it was no wonder that Bai Jiu would personally come to him and ask him to borrow troops to defend the city.Although he said he sent troops from Rongcheng this time to escort his teachers Huang Mingyou and Cao Yunzhao, in fact it was because Bai Jiu came to him and promised favors in person.

A favor from the Bai family in Beidi is worth thousands of gold.

Luo Nianqiu raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Jing, and his gaze stayed on the other's face for a moment.

She was indeed pretty enough, much more handsome than anyone he had ever seen before, so it was reasonable for the ninth master of the Bai family to ask for help for this person.

Luo Nianqiu sat down and drank a cup, then backed out.

In the corridor, he met Master Jiu and Cao Yunzhao who were coming this way, and said, "Bai Jiu, I have something to tell you."

Cao Yunzhao drank two more glasses and looked at them suspiciously: "What are you going to say?"

Luo Nianqiu: "Talk about Meishan military and political dignitaries, as well as local taxation and prefectural and county management, do you want to stay and listen?"

Cao Yunzhao got a headache when he heard this: "I haven't fought enough to eradicate the banditry all the way? The two commanders in Yicheng fought fiercely enough. Why is Meishan still doing this? Just hearing it makes me dizzy .”

Luo Nianqiu: "You will always need it after you go."

Cao Yunzhao was dissatisfied: "I don't want to be stuck in this or that all day long. I just want to do something down-to-earth. It's better to build a library or newspaper than those false names. I translated a lot on the way back to China by ship. The book is going to be printed for everyone to read, and some will be distributed to schools, so it can be considered as a contribution to enlightening the wisdom of the people.”

Luo Nianqiu just smiled and didn't say much.

Master Jiu echoed a few words, giving Cao Er some face.

Cao Yunzhao still held some patriotic and romantic enthusiasm, and he didn't like to listen to Luo Nianqiu's talk. He claimed that he was made up of wind, flowers, snow and moon, and he refused to stand there with them to discuss common affairs and official affairs. I'll listen to it when I arrive at Meishan in a few days, I'll go to accompany Mr Huang first, I haven't seen him for several years, I miss him very much." After speaking, he walked forward quickly, entered the box in front, and slipped away.

The restaurants in Zhuandou Township have elevated houses, and the corridors on the side are fenced with rough wood and have no windows.

Standing there, Luo Nianqiu took out the cigarette case, tapped it, and handed it to Master Jiu: "One?"

Master Jiu didn't answer, coughed and said, "No."

"You're not in good health yet?"

"Old problem."

Luo Nianqiu also took down the cigarette dangling from his mouth, played with his fingertips, but did not light it, and asked after a while: "How is Bai Junrui? I heard that he was assassinated in Beidi and was shot twice."

Jiu Ye said: "Tuofu, I received a telegram a few days ago, and it has begun to improve."

Luo Nianqiu: "I know a few Western doctors. The level of medical treatment in Pingdao Ren'ai Hospital is good. I can call to help you turn around. It will be better for him to recuperate there."

Master Jiu shook his head: "Cousin misses Beidi, I'm afraid he won't leave."

Luo Nianqiu leaned against the railing, frowned in silence, and sighed after a while: "It's something he can do, you Bai family members are very stubborn."

There were voices talking about poetry in the wing room. Mr. Huang and Cao Yunzhao dipped their chopsticks in the wine, and even knocked on the cups and plates to sing.Mr. Cao's face was bright red, and Cao Yunzhao, regardless of his scholarly demeanor, now rolled up his shirt sleeves, put his thin gold-rimmed glasses on backwards, and clapped his hands and laughed.

Luo Nianqiu stood there listening for a while, and said: "Cao Yunzhao is too naive, he is still the same as when he was in school, it hasn't changed for so many years."

Master Jiu chuckled: "There is always a need for someone with a pure heart."

"It's true. He sings with a rambunctious accent and is out of tune. His words are better than his songs. I really can't find a second one."

Reminiscing about what happened back then, both of them laughed.

After a while, Luo Nianqiu said: "People haven't changed, but the world has changed. The Northland is just the beginning. I have received orders, and the next step is to prepare for the southwest."

Master Jiu asked, "Is there going to be a war?"

Luo Nianqiu: "I'm not sure, it's better to make some preparations in advance."

Master Jiu nodded and thanked him.

Luo Nianqiu put on his military cap, the brim of the cap was lowered, and he couldn't see his line of sight clearly under the light, only his jaw was cold and hard, his thin lips parted slightly and said: "If you see Bai Junrui, tell me something for me, when I was in the military academy with him, Having eaten and lived together for three years, my evaluation of him remains the same, he was born in troubled times, a talent for defending the city, an embarrassing task... With all due respect, he alone cannot defend the Northland."

These words were extremely blunt, but Luo Nianqiu didn't mean to humiliate, he just said it in a flat tone, then nodded and turned to leave after speaking.

Luo Nianqiu garrisoned the army and took the lead. He did not stay in Zhuandou Township and returned at night.

Cao Yunzhao got drunk and talked about poems and songs with Mr. Huang, but he refused to leave and insisted on talking at night by candlelight.Although Huang Mingyou was old, he still had the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. He plucked the thin bamboo branches from the outside, dipped them in ink at random, and scattered the calligraphy.

Master Jiu left Bai Mingyu here to take care of the two drunk people, and went back to the bedroom by himself.

Xie Jing is the owner of Zhuandou Township, lighting a lamp to lead the way.

Master Jiu followed him into the room and watched him put the lamp on the table.The candlelight flickered a few times, and Xie Jing's side face showed a bit of hazy beauty under the light and shade, and even the plain silver earbud beside his ear glowed softly.If Xie Jing was still showing his sharpness during the day, he was much softer now, lowering his eyes, cutting off the wick, and brightening the candle again.

"Master, there is a bathtub behind the screen, and you can soak in hot water for a while to relieve fatigue."

"it is good."

Standing behind the screen, Lord Jiu raised his hand to unbutton it, heard footsteps following him, and said to him, "I've been used to it for the few months you've been away, so I don't need to wait on you..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Hearing the slight sound of the clothes falling on the ground, there were two rustling sounds, and another white singlet fell to his feet, which was worn by Xie Jing next to his body, and then there was nothing on his body.

Master Jiu looked up from his bare ankle, looked over slowly, and landed on his face.

Xie Jing walked over, stepped on his feet and unbuttoned the rest of the buttons for Master Jiu: "I'm used to doing these jobs, so master will leave it to me in the future."

Jiuye's Adam's apple moved slightly, his eyes were firmly attracted to him, and he couldn't turn away from him.

Xie Jing soaked half of his hand in the bathtub to test the water temperature, and suddenly chuckled: "Master, do you want me to accompany you?"

Jiu Ye leaned over, lowered his head and kissed, but did not speak again.

The wooden barrel is wide enough to accommodate the two of them, but the hot water is a little too much, and it will shake a little with a slight movement.

Xie Jing's arm was still injured, and now she was half-sitting on Master Jiu, with her arms raised, biting her lip to suppress the sound of her throat.

When I couldn't hold it any longer, I put my elbows on the other person's shoulders and begged for mercy in a low voice.

……

After a long time, it returned to calm.

Master Jiu carried him out and washed him clean, but he was as red as a boiled shrimp, he hid his head in his arms and could not come out.

Master Jiu chuckled, pinched his chin, scratched him lightly, and coaxed: "Now you know how shy? Why were you so bold just now, you can say anything if you seduce me."

Xie Jing muttered "too big", Master Jiu couldn't help laughing, and asked again on purpose: "What did you say, I didn't hear clearly just now."

Xie Jing buried her head and took a bite, grinding out a small tooth mark. Before she could relieve her anger, she was reluctant and licked the tooth mark twice.

Jiu Ye was wrapped in a thin quilt with him, hugged him with one arm, raised his hand to caress the earlobe, touched the silver ear button with his thumb, and Xie Jing hid.

Master Jiu asked him, "Does it hurt?"

Xie Jing shook her head and whispered an itch.

Master Jiu chuckled, and the strength of his thumb across the ear was a little heavier.

Xie Jing's ears were already sensitive, and it was even worse at this moment. He never knew that there was only one more tremella button. No more..."

Master Jiu held him back, lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "It's not itching, it's comfortable. Master will teach you how to be comfortable."

My ears are almost melting.

Xie Jing tilted her head and couldn't avoid it, the knuckles of her hand clutching the bed sheet turned white, and she bit her lip so hard that she could suppress the indistinct hum that came to her mouth.

The candle on the table flickered a few times, and there was a crackling sound. It was already burning very low, and finally it was slowly extinguished in the lamp.

It was dark in the room, only indistinct voices could be heard vaguely.

Can't tell the difference between pain and bliss.
