Chapter 8 White Peony's Thoughts
This morning, Zhang Tianhe had just returned from martial arts training in the mountains.
He is the only one at home, his mother and sister are not at home.
After a while, a carriage came to the door.
"Brother Tianhe, are you at home?" Before seeing anyone, a familiar and slightly old voice came in.
When Zhang Tianhe went out and took a look, it turned out to be Mr. Qin in Gaowu Town.
Mr. Qin is in his sixties this year. They often play money together and everyone is familiar with them.
"It turns out to be Mr. Qin, why are you free to come to my place today?" Zhang Tianhe knew that Mr. Qin's family had a big business, many mules and horses, and he was very righteous, so he was very polite to him, "You...
What's in the car?"
"Brother Tianhe, why haven't you been playing in the playground recently?" Qin Erye asked.
"I've been a bit unlucky lately, and I always lose every time I go, so I took a break to see if I can improve my luck," Zhang Tianhe said.
"Your brother is really good at joking. You have always been lucky. How can you always fail?" Mr. Qin said, "These good things I brought here today are all for you."
"Give it to me? You will receive the salary for nothing, and you will have trouble sleeping and eating." Zhang Tianhe was a little confused, "Why do you want to give me so many good things?"
"It's like this. I heard that you were the one who defeated Zhong'an Fort. That Jin Xiangyang is nothing. He is a scourge in our local area. Do you know how much protection money he charges us every year? Not only does he not protect the local people,
On the contrary, he turned around and bullied us. You have subdued him now, which is really satisfying and I am so happy, so I will give you some gifts to express my gratitude."
"Who did you listen to about this?"
"That's what everyone says."
"I didn't do this, it has nothing to do with me," Zhang Tianhe thought, good things never go out and bad things spread thousands of miles away. "So, you don't need to thank me. I don't want these things, so just take them back."
"Brother, how can I do that? Look, Ladu has already come, can you still ask me to pull back?"
"No, don't say I didn't do this. Even if I did it, I can't take your things."
"Good brother, I know you are a man and you are good. Otherwise, do you think this will work? It's the end of the year and I'm quite busy with my business over there. I also often have to go out to do other business. You
You are very capable, what do you think if you come to my place to help me?" Mr. Qin said enthusiastically, "The treatment will definitely be generous, don't worry about that, can our brothers and sisters still make you suffer?"
Zhang Tianhe thought about it, Qin Erye was a pretty good person, and he had nothing to do at home anyway, so this matter could be discussed. He thought for a while, and then said: "Then you take the things back first, and this matter will be discussed with my mother and
After my sister comes back, we will discuss it."
"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you at home."
So, Zhang Tianhe came to Qin Erye's house.
Mr. Qin's business is quite large. He has several silk and satin shops in the local area, as well as several pawn shops. In addition, he also runs gambling games and does business in other places.
Since Zhang Tianhe arrived, he has helped him make several big deals one after another. Mr. Qin has made a lot of money and is even more happy.
On this day, Zhang Tianhe was left to have dinner at home.
In addition to Qin Erye and Zhang Tianhe, those eating at the same table also had a concubine of Qin Erye named Bai Mudan.
This Bai Mudan has fair skin, a rosy face, a pair of big eyes, and a captivating soul. She was originally a prostitute in Yichun Tower. She was spotted by the Second Master Qin, spent money to redeem her body, and took her as a concubine. She was the same age as the Second Master Qin.
There is a big difference, I am only twenty years old this year.
Her eyes never left Zhang Tianhe for a moment, making Zhang Tianhe feel uncomfortable.
Mr. Qin was in a happy mood and only wanted to drink.
"Tomorrow, I am going to the Northeast to do a mink fur business. It will probably take a month to come back. Tianhe, I will leave all the business at home to you. In addition, the accounts at the accounting office will also be handed over to you.
you."
"Okay, I understand, please don't worry, Second Master."
Early the next morning, Mr. Qin packed up his belongings and left.
Bai Mudan started to pack up, applying makeup, eyebrows, and rouge in front of the mirror. Before noon, a sumptuous banquet was prepared, and then someone was sent to take care of Zhang.
Tianhe is invited.
When Bai Mudan saw Zhang Tianhe coming, she smiled all over her face and went out to greet him, saying, "Brother Tianhe, thank you for your hard work. Please come in quickly."
"I wonder why Madam-in-law called me here?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just think you're having a hard time, so I'd like to invite you to have a meal with me."
"Well, Mr. Qin is not at home, so I'm afraid there will be some inconvenience."
"We are all a family, so what's the inconvenience?" Bai Mudan said with a smile, "Look at the food being served, wouldn't it be a pity not to eat it? Please take a seat."
Zhang Tianhe thought that since she was so enthusiastic, it might not be good if she refused and had to work here in the future, so he reluctantly sat down.
They were the only two people in the room.
Bai Mudan hurriedly poured him three glasses of wine.
"Come on, brother Tianhe, you've worked hard. I'll toast you three glasses of wine. I'll do it first as a token of respect." She raised her neck and drank all three glasses of wine.
Zhang Tianhe saw that she had finished three glasses of wine, so he had no choice but to drink three glasses of wine.
Bai Mudan filled up three more glasses of wine for him and gave him some vegetables. She was extremely enthusiastic.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
"Tianhe, ever since you came to our house, I have felt particularly kind to you. It feels like I have met you in a dream." Bai Mudan sighed, "You don't know something, and my life is miserable.
, my parents died when I was young, and I grew up alone with my grandmother. Later, my grandmother also passed away. I had no choice but to survive, so I was sold to Yichun Building at the age of thirteen. Tianhe, you will look down on me like this.
person?"
"Won't."
"That's good. Since I arrived at Yichun Tower, I have lived an inhuman life. I am in so much pain that I cry every day. When guests come, I have to force myself to smile. I even want to die."
Bai Mudan said, "It wasn't until later that I met Mr. Qin. To be honest, Mr. Qin was indeed a good man. He was the only one who treated me as a human being, while others only regarded me as a plaything and a tool for fun.
Later, he found the madam, paid for my life, and brought me here."
Zhang Tianhe listened patiently.
"But, Second Master Qin is already sixty years old, and I am only twenty this year. With such a big age difference, who will I rely on for the rest of my life?"
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, you drank too much today, so I'll take my leave now." As soon as Zhang Tianhe heard that her words were becoming more and more outrageous, he stood up and left.
"Tianhe, do you think I'm not good-looking? Don't you have any thoughts about me? I've already said this, don't you still understand my thoughts?"
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, you have drunk too much, please respect yourself." Zhang Tianhe quickly got up and walked out after hearing her say such explicit words.
"Tianhe, Tianhe, come back here." Bai Mudan shouted.
