It is said that Zhao Chen met Bu Lianshi again in the lobby of the county government office, and he took over the case from Jian Yong.
The guardian was originally very arrogant, but now he saw that his master Wang Fugui was beaten ten times without saying a word, and he suddenly withered.
A typical dog fighting for power, Zhao Chen couldn't stand this kind of person the most!
When Zhao Chen saw that the two of them stopped clamoring, he asked, "I already know the matter from Mr. Jian. Wang Fugui, according to your contract, how much silver do you need to give you as a step trainer and your daughter?"
Wang Fugui stretched out his fingers tremblingly and made a "two" gesture, which means two taels.
At this moment, he no longer dared to look down on Zhao Chen. Although he did not know the origin of the young man in front of him, judging from the attitude of Jian Yong and the people around him, he must be a high-ranking person.
Zhao Chen frowned.
He didn't expect that human life could be so worthless. He wanted to buy a young woman's life for just two taels of silver. It was ridiculous and sad!
Afterwards, Zhao Chen picked up the pen, wrote down several agreements on the paper, signed his name, and handed it to Wang Fugui.
"The two taels are settled, I'll give you ten taels. If there's no problem, just sign."
Wang Fugui didn't dare not sign. Besides, the original two taels could be turned into ten taels. Where could he find such a high investment?
He signed his name immediately and paid attention to Zhao Chen's signature.
"It turns out that he is Zhao Chen, Liu Bei's military advisor. Unexpectedly, he is so young!"
Wang Fugui was frightened when he thought about it. Zhao Chen never flinched in the face of thousands of troops. If Zhao Chen was unhappy, his head might not be saved.
His attitude changed 180 degrees, and he politely handed the contract back to Zhao Chen, and tore up the contract with Bu Lianshi and his daughter on the spot to show his loyalty.
Zhao Chen nodded with satisfaction and spread his hands towards Jian Yong, asking for ten taels of silver.
But where did Jian Yong get so much money? It was an arduous and simple march. Not to mention the military pay, even the army rations were frugal, so there was no way he had much money to spend.
Zhao Chen himself had no money, but he didn't expect that Jian Yong didn't have any either.
After all, I have been with Liu Bei for so long, but I can't even get out ten taels of silver.
This time it was embarrassing.
Zhao Chen glanced at Wang Fugui and smiled sheepishly.
Wang Fugui had already seen that Zhao Chen had no money, but he did not dare to say anything and could only watch Zhao Chen.
In Huaiyin City today, who dares to directly ask the military advisor for money? That is Liu Bei's military advisor, who twice defeated Yuan Shu's army with less than one-tenth of his troops. No one has the courage.
Besides, for Wang Fugui, a mere ten taels is not worth mentioning at all. It is normal to show filial piety to the military advisor on weekdays.
Wang Fugui smiled and prepared to express what he meant.
Who knew that Zhao Chen didn't want to default on the debt.
He put his hand into his arms, dug for a long time, took out the piece of jade with the word "step" written on it, and handed it to Wang Fugui.
"This jade has a warm texture and exquisite carvings. There are definitely more than ten taels of jade. I don't have any silver with me today, so I will give this to you as a contract between you and me. How about it?"
Wang Fugui glanced at the jade, pinched it twice, and knew in his heart that this jade could not be obtained without hundreds of taels of silver.
"It all depends on the military advisor's arrangements."
Wang Fugui squinted his eyes and agreed cheerfully.
Zhao Chen thought that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily, and Wang Fugui was also preparing to lead the nursing home away.
Suddenly the step trainer jumped up from the ground, rushed to Wang Fugui with a strong step, snatched the piece of jade from his hand, and turned back to her mother.
I saw Master Bu holding the jade in both hands, his eyes dancing, and his mouth trembling as he said: "Mother, look!"
The mother was stunned when she saw the jade. She protected the starting trainer's hands holding the jade with both hands, and turned to ask Zhao Chen: "Military advisor, where did you get this jade?"
Only then did Zhao Chen realize that this piece of jade had an unusual meaning for the Bu Lianshi mother and daughter.
The word "Bu" engraved on this jade may really be the surname of Master Bu.
He stepped forward to help the kneeling foot trainer mother and daughter, and explained softly: "This jade was found in my room early this morning."
"The military advisor's residence is the small house next to the county government office? Is it the second room in the east wing?"
Zhao Chen was slightly startled and said: "Exactly!"
"That was originally the master's house, and it was my daughter's room where the military advisor slept last night. And this piece of jade was left by the master to my daughter. Unfortunately, we left in a hurry that day and couldn't find it when we got up. I didn't expect that it would be in the hands of the military advisor today. .”
Zhao Chen felt embarrassed in his heart, never expecting that he and Master Bu were really destined.
Now that I have grown up, I don’t even know what it feels like to hold a girl’s hand, let alone entering a girl’s boudoir. I was actually able to sleep in a beautiful woman's boudoir last night. Doesn't this mean I have crossed over to the primary stage and is in one step?
As for this piece of jade, Zhao Chen naturally chose to return it to Bu Lianshi.
"Since this jade belongs to your father, it will naturally return to its original owner. Originally, this jade was also here to save you mother and daughter. Now that it has returned to your hands, it is the reincarnation of heaven."
"As for the contract, Wang Fugui, I, Zhao Chen, will make an appointment with you. Before August 20th, I will give you twelve hands and never break my promise. How about that?"
Wang Fugui smiled awkwardly and said: "It doesn't matter, the military advisor doesn't have to worry about it. I'll take my leave first."
"Go slowly, don't send me away!"
"Military advisor, stay here." Wang Fugui wiped his sweat and walked out quickly.
When Zhao Chen saw Wang Fugui leaving, he turned to face Master Bu and his daughter.
Unexpectedly, the two of them knelt down in front of Zhao Chen, kowtowed and thanked: "The military advisor saved our mother and daughter from fire and water twice, and today I found the Bu family's jade pendant for my little girl. I am really grateful. Even if I die, I can't repay it."
Zhao Chen hurriedly helped the two of them up and said: "I'm serious, I'm serious! It's all a matter of raising your hand and doing your job."
But I thought in my heart, why didn’t you say, “I have nothing to repay, but I can only pledge myself to you”?
"The matter has been resolved. You two can go back in peace and plant your fields. General Liu will not treat you badly."
The two nodded and tidied their clothes, but still refused to leave.
Zhao Chen was a little strange, why he still stayed here after everything was settled.
Bu Lianshi said: "Military Advisor, we have no choice but to go. The house and land we rented have been taken away by Wang Fugui because he has no money to pay the rent."
"This..." Zhao Chen turned to look at Jian Yong, hoping that Jian Yong could arrange a place for the mother and daughter from the refugee resettlement.
Unexpectedly, the mother and daughter asked: "I wonder if the military advisor is short of manpower?"
Zhao Chen has never thought about this problem at all, and he has no habit of letting servants serve him. It is completely inconsistent with the concepts of the 21st century.
"No!" Zhao Chen shook his head, "I have just arrived in Huaiyin. Apart from a few guards assigned by the lord, I am the only one."
Bu Lianshi quickly said: "Although the military advisor lives in a small house now, there will be a big house in the future. The military advisor is away on an expedition, and the whole house needs to be taken care of by someone. Although the little girl is not talented, she is still good at this. I feel safe at home. Now, the military advisor can fight with peace of mind while away from home."
Bu Lianshi's mother said: "How can the military advisor do laundry, mending, cooking and washing dishes, bathing and changing clothes? We can do it for the military advisor."
Zhao Chen thought for a moment, but still felt something was wrong: "It's not very appropriate for me, a man, to stay under the same roof with you all year round. What's more, in the future, I will fight all year round, from east to west, from south to north, you Aren't you afraid of hard work and danger if you follow me?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"It's not bitter!"
Trainer Bu stared at his big watery eyes and said firmly: "We just want to follow you!"
This was the first time someone said they would follow him no matter what, and Zhao Chen was a little surprised.
When he thought about it, it did make sense. He always needed someone to take care of his house when he was away. After all, no one in this era had many servants in a big house. Furthermore, Trainer Bu's surname is Bu. Although looking at the current situation, the connection between Trainer Bu and the Bu family in Jiangnan is probably very weak, but this level of relationship is better than none. In the future, when Liu Bei goes south to conquer Yang and Bingzhou, he may be able to use it.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chen nodded: "The house I live in now was also the home of two of you. Since you two don't mind it, then come home with me."
go home……
Hearing these two words, Master Bu's grievances over the years suddenly poured out.
She didn't know how long it had been since she had talked about going home, how long it had been since she had enjoyed the warmth of home.
The man in front of me obviously wanted to follow him as a servant, but he said that we would go home together.
This friendship, this kindness, Bu Lianshi will always remember it in his heart.
At this time, Bu Lianshi had secretly made up his mind that he would never leave Zhao Chen for half a step in this life.
Zhao Chen never expected that he would come to see if the county government had anything to do, but he would bring back two women.
One is a love at first sight, the Bu family relationship may be put to good use, and the other may be the future mother-in-law.
All this has to be taken care of, Zhao Chen smiled helplessly.
Jian Yong sent Zhao Chen and the others to the door with a smile.
Zhao Chen pulled Jian Yong aside and whispered: "Don't forget the tea! I spent ten taels of silver to buy it."
Jian Yong smiled and said, "That's natural."
"In addition, please ask Brother Xianhe to keep today's matter a secret for me!"
Jian Yong glanced at Bu Lianshi and his daughter, and said with an evil smile: "I understand, the beauty is hidden in the golden house, so don't worry, military advisor, no one else will know."
Zhao Chen knew that Jian Yong was thinking wrongly, but he didn't bother to explain, so he led Bu Lianshi and his daughter back to the house.
