There was a rustling sound of water in the steaming bedroom. Zhang Jingxiu turned over in the spacious bathtub, lay down, and stretched out her slender and graceful jade body to the fullest.

The pretty maid stepped forward and gently wiped the lady's body with a silk cloth, which was as beautiful as white jade. The broken snow skin shone with a crystal luster under the candlelight.

The face of the lotus and the waist of the willows are nothing more enchanting.

Ice and snowy skin, jade is the bone, and eyebrows are pretty and spring.

Zhang Jingxiu pillowed on her arms and squinted her eyes, but she couldn't help but think of Chen Lie's mysterious appearance. The corners of her white mouth raised slightly, and she couldn't help but reveal a sweet smile.

The maids on the side pretended not to know.

The maids seemed to have long been used to the subtle changes that the young lady had made these days, and even hid outside the door and whispered to the strange man named Chen Lie.

In tranquility.

The night is as bright as water.

The maids' whispers came from outside the door: "Mr. Liu really lost the bet?"

"It's true, the guards spread."

"It's amazing... It seems that Chen Lie is indeed a real skill."

In the bathtub, Zhang Jingxiu spread her hair comfortably, and she didn't know the maids' whispers, but at this time.

The cheeks that were pinched strongly during the day were hot.

The clouds think of clothes and flowers think of appearance, and the spring breeze blows the threshold and the dew is thick.

In a blink of an eye, two days later.

In the early morning, the rays of light were shining, and it was another sunny day.

Bianqifang shop.

In the hustle and bustle, the shop was filled with people. Yun'er supported Aunt Li and pointed at the waiter and others around a newly bought big dark horse.

"This horse is so beautiful."

"Well... it's just a bit of a bad mouth."

As he was talking, Chen Lie pulled the reins with one hand and touched the mane with satisfaction with the other hand, his heart full of happiness and satisfaction.

After all, this was the first horse in his life and it was of great significance.

Horses of this era are equivalent to carriages in later generations. In order to buy this seven-year-old horse, Chen Lie spent 120 taels of snowflakes.

Although this horse is a little older, it is more than enough to use for transportation.

In the crowd, Yun'er's little face smiled like a flower, and she was spinning around the tall horse, constantly admiring, and her happy look was extremely moving.

Aunt Li and a group of old neighbors also nodded frequently, looking at Chen Lie with loving eyes. Her expression seemed to see her younger prodigal son turning back and embarking on the right path.

Chen Lie saw it and said freely: "Please use it first, wait until we make a lot of money... exchange for a good horse!"

Yun'er smiled and pointed her little head hard: "Yeah!"

Anyway, she believes whatever the young master said...

Seeing Chen Lie and Yun'er's master and servant getting to know each other, everyone laughed, the atmosphere was a little warm and a little hot.

Aunt Li looked at Yun'er's increasingly plump body, then pulled Yun'er aside and kindly reminded her...

The little girl has grown up to be a big girl. She has already settled her house with your young master. She has saved her from going out to find those unclean women and ruining her family business in vain.

Yun'er is naturally ashamed.

Heartbeat.

At this time, a capable servant came hurriedly in the direction of the alley entrance.

The servant hurried to the door of the store, looked at Chen Lie who was preparing the horse, and whispered: "Is Chen Lie Chen's shopkeeper?"

Shen Li nodded.

The servant sneaked over a note and left in a hurry.

Chen Lie opened the note and looked at the beautiful lines of handwriting on it, and couldn't help but open his eyes wide: "Miss is being confined, please take good care of the store."

Looking at this note, I learned that Zhang Jingxiu was confined.

Chen Lie's face was a little strange, but he couldn't help laughing, and a picture appeared in his mind, in the small courtyard of the inner courtyard of the Taishi Mansion.

A poor and innocent daughter sat by the window like a canary, boredly holding her white chin and looking at the sunny sky outside.

On that bright and gorgeous face, the beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly...

What a miserable lady.

As he thought about it, Chen Lie couldn't help laughing and shook his head, tied up his mount on the tying stone. Just as he was about to enter the store, a familiar Jinyiwei walked quickly from the entrance of the alley.

The Jinyiwei hugged Chen Lie and whispered: "Shopkeeper Chen, what you ask my elders to inquire about is a matter of what you have done."

Chen Lie was happy and hurriedly thanked him. Unexpectedly, Tian Hong was so capable of doing things. In just two days, he found the trace of Tudou!

Chen Lie was ecstatic and hurriedly said, "I'll bother this elder brother to go back and say... I'll visit you tomorrow morning."

The Jinyiwei hurriedly said, "I understand."

Seeing the Jinyiwei leaving in a hurry, Chen Lie pondered in his heart. His understanding of history still came from some novels he had read.

If you really found potatoes and sweet potatoes...

At this moment, Chen Lie's eyes were shining with a deep look. Maybe he could really do something big!

The next morning.

Outside the city.

Chen Lie rode his horse and Tian Hong on the spacious official road together, with several riders following him closely.

The sun is shining and cloudless.

The brave horse was walking slowly on the road.

As the capital became farther and farther away, the population began to become scarce. It was already the end of April, and the crops on both sides of the road were full of vitality.

Arrived at no one.

Several people started to gallop on horses. Soon, they arrived at a small mountain village with beautiful mountains and rivers at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. They strangled the horses at the entrance of the village with everyone.

Tian Hong smiled and said, "It's here."

Chen Lie nodded, looked around and was stunned for a moment, but he saw a small mill at the foot of the mountain between the green mountains and the green waters.

This small mill made Chen Lieren stupid. It has a pure Western architectural style. There is a windmill on the top of the mill, and the mill is surrounded by strange plants.

There are alfalfa, oats, and potatoes.

Looking at this Western mill, Chen Lie felt confused. In an instant, the feeling of time and space disorder arose in his heart, and a thought emerged from his mind.

Western missionary!

In amazement, Chen Lie rode on his horse and walked towards Tian Hong: "I wonder if Lord Tian, ​​how are the Westerners in the capital?"

Tian Hong looked at the mill, narrowed his eyes and sneered, "There are not many of these Thai monsters, who often talk about the crowd, is it okay to have a few more?"

Chen Lie nodded, and there was a hint of suddenness in his heart that generals like Tian Hong naturally had no good feelings for the Westerners who entered the Ming Dynasty to preach, and even had instinctive resistance.

But different literati and royal thoughts are different. Literary and royal advocate that all nations come to court, and this has been the case for thousands of years.

Although there were oppositions between the government and the public, the Ming court never banned these Westerners who chose to take root in the Ming Dynasty.

While talking.

Several people slapped their horses towards the small mill, walked through the ridges and canals, and turned over and dismounted in front of the mill, and an Jinyiwei was about to step forward to slap the door.

Then a Westerner came out of the mill. The Western life is blonde, blue-eyed, unshaven, and very tall, looking like he was in his forties.

However, this Westerner was wearing an inappropriate blue Taoist robe, and tied up his long golden hair and tied it into a Hunyuan bun of Taoism.

This look, this look...

Chen Lie's eyes almost popped out, and an idiom appeared in his mind, which was called "Monkey and Crown".
