Rebirth of Wendong Xiaoji

Chapter 76 Settling in Yicheng

The day before departure, Chen Wendong received a secret letter from Zhou Yanhuan, which did not involve military secrets, but was full of worries and longing for him.Referring to this bandit suppression, Zhou Yanhuan expressed his deep protest against his risky behavior and strictly prohibited similar things from happening.

After Chen Wendong read it, he raised his hand and burned the letter to ashes. If the contents of the letter were leaked, the impact would definitely be no less than that of leaking military information, and he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

The rest of the itinerary went smoothly, Elder Zhang completed the task as scheduled, and the people from the Ministry of Commerce had to return to Ganghe Island to report, and Chen Wendong's whereabouts became a problem.Elder Zhang meant to let him go back to Henghe Continent together, but Chen Wendong didn't want to go back.

In private, Elder Zhang had quite a few words for Chen Wendong.

"You have to find a way to solve the matter with the king. Can you solve the problem if you continue to escape like this? It doesn't matter if you are wandering outside, but what about the children? Now is a good time for them to learn literature and martial arts. You can’t even make up for it, and you have to think about it for the children.”

Chen Wendong smiled bitterly, "Elder Zhang, I don't know what you said, but Ganges Island is not a good place for me or for the children. Wouldn't it be more sad to go back?"

After a moment of silence, Elder Zhang said again: "Anyway, children can't delay any longer. If you don't want to go back to Ganghe Continent, go to Yicheng, the headquarters of the Dark Pavilion. That's the sphere of influence of the Dark Pavilion. safety."

Chen Wendong thought for a moment, then agreed.Elder Zhang was right. He couldn't delay the children's studies because of these trivial matters. It would be a good idea to change the environment.

After walking outside for so long, he wanted to understand many things.Since he came to this world, he has been unable to control his own life, and there are always various reasons for him to compromise.Thinking about it now, the situation is forcing him on the one hand, and he himself is too emotional and indecisive is also the main reason.

In the past, he had a deep affection for Zhou Yanhuan, and he always had unrealistic fantasies. In the end, he was covered in wounds all over his body, and he was exhausted. Now he wanted to get away, but Zhou Yanhuan started to stalk him.Maybe Zhou Yanhuan really has a hard time, maybe Zhou Yanhuan is really young and ignorant and can't see his own feelings clearly, but since the hurt has already existed, how can he not mind it?

Since Zhou Yanhuan can use his feelings to make him think hard and go through life and death; now he can use Zhou Yanhuan's feelings to seek a life he wants, so why not?

In his previous life, he was a businessman who worked half his life in the mall and had no other specialties except making money. But in this era, doing business is not a good choice. A businessman has a low social status and is not respected by others. It will even affect future generations .After much deliberation, Chen Wendong felt that it would be a good choice to acquire some land and become a small landlord.

After thinking about it, Chen Wendong followed Elder Zhang to Yicheng, bought a small courtyard with three entrances, and lived there with his children.Elder Zhang only stayed in Yicheng for one night, then got up and went to Henghe Island. Chen Wendong also began to inquire about the teacher and Master Wu in the city.

Chen Wendong is still very satisfied with this place. Although this is the headquarters of Ange, it is just an ordinary small county from the outside, and it is no different from other places. The headquarters of the pavilion.Although most of the people in the city are from the dark pavilion, it is because of this that it is safer here and Zhou Yanhuan can feel more at ease.

Yicheng is only two days away from Henghe Island. Zhou Yanhuan would not have trouble finding him, but it also cannot be too frequent. This is what Chen Wendong wanted.The rise of Zhou Yanhuan is obvious to all. According to the strength of all parties, he has the greatest possibility of unifying the Central Plains and ruling the world.If Chen Wendong, a humble man with no power, wanted to fight against a giant like Zhou Yanhuan, it would be his own destruction. Even if he wanted to stay away from Zhou Yanhuan, he could not offend him.

As it is now, neither far nor near is just right. I only hope that one day, Zhou Yanhuan will run out of patience and forget him.If he always hangs around Zhou Yanhuan and doesn't respond to his feelings, Zhou Yanhuan will only sink deeper and deeper.

After settling down, Chen Wendong took the children and started tidying up the house.The layout of the house is not bad, but the house is empty, with no furniture, no flowers and plants, it really looks a bit shabby.

Chen Wendong searched all the shops in the city, but couldn't find the furniture he wanted. In desperation, he had to find the largest furniture shop to order.

As a former modern person, there will naturally be some unique requirements.For example, a simple and elegant wardrobe, such as a large sofa, such as a modern-style big bed... Chen Wendong abandoned complicated pattern decorations and curtains, making it as comfortable as possible.

Hearing Chen Wendong's request, the shopkeeper of the furniture shop kept frowning. In a situation like this, it's okay to do well, but if it's not done well, it will not only waste materials, but also affect the reputation, which is really not worth it.

Seeing that the shopkeeper wanted to refuse, Chen Wendong immediately added another [-]% of the manual fee, and promised that he could communicate slowly about the style.The shopkeeper hesitated for a while, and finally took the order. Chen Wendong smiled with satisfaction, and began to discuss the style with the furniture master.Fortunately, the master's comprehension is not bad, and everything is going smoothly.

After ordering the furniture, Chen Wendong went to a dental shop to buy a woman who cooks.This is a middle-aged woman, about 35 or [-] years old. Her original husband’s family name was Li. Because she could not give birth to a son, and her mother’s family had no one to support her, she was abandoned by her husband and had to go to the tooth shop. ask for life.The woman looked quite honest, so Chen Wendong decided to use it for a while, and it would not be too late to change it if it didn't suit him.

After buying daily necessities, Mr. Wen's affairs also have a clue.The Mr. Wen who came to apply for the job was surnamed Zhang Dan and his name was Xu. He looked to be in his early thirties, with a black beard and two glances. Although his clothes were shabby, he spoke and behaved very well. Without losing elegance.Chen Wendong chatted with him for a while, and felt that his knowledge and character were good, so he handed over Shu Xiu and settled down.

Two days later, another person came to recruit Master Wu. The person who came was Wu Tianhao, who was also handsome and could not fault him, but it was this fault that made Chen Wendong suspicious.

Looking at Master Wu, Chen Wendong sneered, "You and Zhang Xu are both from the Dark Pavilion, right? Oh, by the way, and Aunt Li, are you all sent by the Dark Pavilion?"

Wu Tianhao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly argued: "Master, why can't I understand what you said? What kind of open and hidden pavilions, I'm not building a house."

Chen Wendong glanced at him, and said with disdain: "There is no need to hide it anymore. Since I said that, I have already seen the flaw, and it will be meaningless if you continue to pretend."

Wu Tianhao put away the simple and honest look on his face, bowed to Chen Wendong, and said solemnly: "General Chen forgives the crime, and I am also following orders."

Chen Wendong asked him to sit down, sighed softly, and said, "You three are not the only ones here, right? Now that I have discovered it, stop hiding." Chen Wendong raised his voice and shouted into the air : "Come out!"

After a while, figures flickered on the wall, and eight more people jumped into the courtyard. They all saluted Chen Wendong, "General Chen!"

Chen Wendong nodded, "Okay, we've met, you can find a room for yourself."

Several people were stunned after hearing this, "General, what do you mean?"

Chen Wendong grinned at a few people, and said calmly: "Since you are acting according to orders, why should I make it difficult for you? Although my house is small, it is not a problem for us to live in a few people, so it is convenient for us all, so why not for?"

Several people were stunned for a moment, they obviously didn't expect Chen Wendong to say that, and when they came back to their senses, they thanked him together, "Thank you, General Chen, for your understanding!"

Chen Wendong waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't be so strict in the future, I can't bear it. Besides, I'm just a grassroots person now, and I'm not as high as you in terms of official positions. You have a general on the left and a general on the right." , and even saluted me as a subordinate, what’s the matter? From now on, we’ll get along as equals, or else you shouldn’t live here.”

"Yes!" Several people agreed, and just about to salute, they all stopped.

Seeing that Chen Wendong was about to go back to the room, Wu Tianhao suddenly asked: "General Chen...uh, master, how did you see the flaw?"

Chen Wendong glanced at him and accepted the new title, "Actually, it's nothing, but your performance is too perfect, and it's unreasonable to be perfect."

Wu Tianhao, Zhang Xu and the others suddenly realized and were very annoyed.

Chen Wendong shook his head with a smile, turned around and told Aunt Li: "Aunt Li, you can clean up the room in a while, and add whatever is missing, and I'll get you some money."

Aunt Li waved her hands again and again, "No, no, how can I let the master spend the money, we will pay for it ourselves."

Chen Wendong rolled his eyes, and said without arguing: "I can still afford this little money. After all, you are also helping me with the work. Although there is no wages, you still have to take care of food and lodging."

When he returned to the room, the smile on Chen Wendong's face gradually faded, leaving only helplessness.Zhou Yanhuan has arranged people around him, he has always known this, but he knows in his heart that it's a matter of a while, and it's another thing to actually face it.This made him feel that his every move was under the surveillance of others, and his back felt chills. It made him further understand the imperial power and the helplessness of being a subject, although he was a special subject.

Today, Chen Wendong swindled them out because he wanted them to come to light. Even if he wanted to live with these people, it was better than being spied on and watched from the dark, even though he knew that not all of them might be there.

After the incident, the life of Chen Wendong's family was on the right track. Wu Tianhao and Zhang Xu took over the education of the three children. Aunt Li was still in charge of three meals a day and washing and cleaning, while the others were responsible for the porter and nursing home. and entourage work.

A few days later, the custom-made furniture was also delivered. After inspecting the goods, Chen Wendong felt satisfied, so he happily paid the money.After the furniture is arranged, the atmosphere in the room is suddenly different. There is a bit of modernity in the simplicity, and the complicated carved doors and windows reflect the simple furniture, which has a feeling of combining the East and the West.

Although others thought it was weird, Chen Wendong thought it was very good, at least it was comfortable to live in.Since it is your own home, of course you can come here as comfortable as possible.

After settling things at home, Chen Wendong started to run out of the city. He is a small landlord, how can he do without land?Taking advantage of the slack in farming, it is natural to buy more land.

After wandering outside for more than half a month, Chen Wendong only bought [-] mu of land, which was really too little for him.After these days of visits, he also found that it is difficult to buy land through normal means.Land is the lifeblood of farmers, but those who can live on will not sell their land. This also shows from the side that under Zhou Yanhuan's rule, the people's life is not bad.

The land cannot be bought through normal channels, and Chen Wendong doesn't bother to be a bandit and bully, so he is really distressed.One day, when he was chatting with Zhang Xu, he accidentally learned that the mountains south of Yicheng were rich in herbs, which gave him some special ideas.

The mountain is rich in herbs, which means that this area is suitable for the growth of herbs, so should he try to grow herbs?When he first started his business in the last life, he also sold Chinese herbal medicines, and he knew a little about planting techniques. Although they are all simple things, if the climate and soil are suitable, the success rate is still relatively high.

After having this idea, Chen Wendong couldn't bear to go to the mountains to investigate. There are people who collect herbs all the year round in the villages below the mountains. He can know the situation on the mountains when he asks. He quickly figured out the types and distribution of medicinal materials in the mountains. district.

Planting medicinal materials is not something that can be achieved overnight, and it will take at least two years to see results, so Chen Wendong just made a plan, and after the investigation, he started to buy land everywhere.

By the end of the year, he had bought more than 100 mu of land in his hands, and he could be regarded as a veritable small landlord.Originally, he had planned well, and even found a farmer, but a letter disrupted all his plans.

The letter was written by Zhou Yanhuan. In addition to asking about his health, the letter also told him a great event, that Wen Guang was getting married.

Wen Guang was married, of course he was happy, and as the eldest brother, he had to go back no matter what, but when he thought of facing Zhou Yanhuan, he felt a little irritable and a little uneasy in his heart.

To Chen Wendong's surprise, neither his father nor his brother informed him of such a big event. He also understood what his family thought, and was just worried that he and Zhou Yanhuan would continue to entangle, but even so, he was still sore in his heart.If it wasn't for his indecision, why would the family members be so timid?

Seeing that the wedding day was approaching, Chen Wendong didn't have time to think about it. He simply packed his bags and returned to Ganges Island with his three children.When they got home, it was already the second night, and the three children had already fallen asleep in the carriage.

Father Chen opened the door and was stunned when he saw Chen Wendong, "Dong'er? Why are you back?"

Chen Wendong grinned, looking careless, "Father, I heard that Wen Guang is getting married, why didn't you inform me?"

Father Chen glared at him, and sighed, "Since the family didn't notify you, they naturally hoped that you would not come back. Since you hid, why did you come back to spread this trouble?"

Chen Wendong held his father's hand and comforted him, "Daddy, how can I not come back when Wen Guang is married? Anyway, I'm also the eldest brother." After a pause, Chen Wendong added: "Don't worry, Daddy, I'm fine, let's talk about Putian Is it the king's land below, is it the king's subject on the shore of the land, unless I surrender to the enemy, it will be the same wherever I hide."

Wen Guang stood aside and couldn't help saying: "Daddy, brother, let's go inside and talk, it's so cold outside."

Chen Wendong patted Wen Guang on the shoulder and said with a teasing smile, "Congratulations! Which family are your siblings from? Are they pretty?"

Wen Guang lowered his head in embarrassment, and whispered: "Miss Wang is very good, she is Brother Wang's cousin."

Chen Wendong raised his eyebrows, "Brother Wang? Are you talking about Wang Yanzhi? Wen Guang, have you really met that girl? Her small eyes look like charcoal, tsk tsk, his sister..."

Wen Guang rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily, "Miss Wang is very innocent! Besides, you and Brother Wang are friends after all, how can you be so ignorant?"

Chen Wendong couldn't help laughing.

Father Chen called for people to carry the three children off the carriage, and whispered to the two brothers, "You're too old to even enter the house, and you don't even have a stable appearance."

Chen's father was considerate of their exhaustion and didn't ask any more questions. After Chen Wendong and the children had dinner, he sent them to bed.

The next day, after the father and son finished talking about the past, Chen Wendong started to get busy.
