Fabric for women?

What's the meaning?

Could it be that this guy thinks that I am essentially a hidden cross-dressing boss?

Chen Kai didn't quite understand what Shu Xuzi's intention was. In terms of status, he was now the prefect, but the city of Zhangzhou was still in the hands of the Qing army. He still lived in the small courtyard of the Nan'ao town hall on weekdays.

The four servants from years ago are still the same four now, and there are two women among them. But with their status, it is impossible for Mouse Xuzi to find someone to find such precious fabrics to give to them.

.

"Tell me, is there any gossip on the island?"

"Uh." Mouse Xuzi swallowed, but facing Chen Kai's gaze, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

In the words of Mouse Xuzi, there is a crazy rumor on the island that Chen Kai is discussing marriage with the Zheng family. As for who it is, there is no accurate statement. After all, the Ishii Zheng family is also a big family, and there are not a few women of the right age.

.However, no matter who it is, Chen Kai cannot disagree, so the matter of becoming the son-in-law of the Zheng family is probably a foregone conclusion, and Mouse Xuzi will naturally have to work harder to curry favor with him in advance.

"It's enough for you to do your own thing."

The value of these pieces of cloth could not be supported by Shu Xuzi's monthly salary. Whether it was corruption in daily life or the use of public funds this time, Chen Kai did not pursue it. He just told Shu Xuzi that the things were stored in the warehouse.

When he needs it, he will send someone to buy it.

"I joined the army and took this humble position just to repay you for your kindness."

"You do a good job to repay me. It's best not to get involved with those crooked people. It won't do any good." At this point, Chen Kai's frown eased a little, and then he said to Mouse Xuzi: "The country

I said earlier that he would prepare betrothal gifts and the like for me, because with my meager monthly salary, I really cannot afford to marry a daughter of the Zheng family."

It is an exaggeration to say that they cannot afford to marry. At least the fathers and brothers of many girls of the right age in the Ishii Zheng family do not have high status, and the betrothal gifts are not too scary. But since Zheng Chenggong said it, then the fathers and brothers of the girls chosen by the Zheng family only have

I'm afraid his status won't be that low. I guess he must at least have an official position above that of General Soldier to qualify for this term.

As soon as these words came out, Mouse Beard was stunned for a moment, and then after a moment of envy, he immediately expressed his loyalty to Chen Kai's trust, and said that he would definitely follow Chen Kai's orders and never get involved with those "crooked" ones.

It actually seems to be bigger than just saying it.

After leaving the military uniform manufacturing workshop, it was already the time to get off duty on weekdays. Chen Kai simply went back to the main town hall to rest. However, while waiting for dinner, he only followed Chen Kai's servant on Nan'ao Island on weekdays.

Reported to Chen Kai some recent developments on the island, including the rumor.

"The villain has checked it out. It probably didn't come to the island from outside. But where did it come from? I can't do anything about it."

"It doesn't matter, no one knows who it is anymore, right?"

"Yes, Patriarch, they are just some rumors. They have noses and eyes, but no one has a definite statement." At this point, the boy thought of something, and then said to Chen Kai: "It seems that it is Cheng.

There are many opinions about Ji Bo’s female son-in-law.”

Chen Kai had heard of Cheng Jibo Zheng Zhibao, but had never seen him. He was the fifth younger brother of Zheng Zhilong. He was a scholar and had entered the Imperial College. His early experience was similar to that of Zheng Chenggong. However, this man was with Shi Fu.

The leader of the Zheng Group, who was ordered by Zheng Zhilong to lead the main force of the Fujian Ming Army to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, later saw that Zheng Zhilong was plundered, so he simply retreated and is now "retiring" in Anping Town.

"There are thirty-seven-year-olds, so it is not new for them to return to their hometowns for retirement at the age of thirty-two or thirty-two."

Chen Kai didn't quite understand why it had become like this in just over a month. It was hard to say whether there was Zheng Chenggong's intention in it, or whether it was the work of Dong Yougu, who fled Nan'ao Island that time.

. However, he and Zheng Xiyuan had already made a promise. No matter what, he had to do something.

This matter needs to be mentioned when he meets Zheng Chenggong, but now is not the time. At least when things in Guangzhou are so urgent, it is really inconvenient for him to go to Zheng Chenggong specifically for such a matter.

While eating dinner, Chen Kai tried his best to put this matter aside for the time being. After dinner, he returned to the study and took out the letter of information from Inspector Lin that Chen Bao had given him earlier. He lit the candle and carefully read it.

I thought about it carefully.

Lin Cha's information departed from Hong Kong more than ten days after Chen Kai. As a result, it was sent to Nan'ao Island first. Just the day before Chen Kai arrived, the journey was shortened by more than ten days.

Chen Kai was speechless for a while. But there was nothing he could do about it. The era of sailing battleships was like this. It often depended on luck. Zheng Chenggong alone encountered bad luck countless times in his life.

status.

Chen Kai doesn't want to waste any more time on this matter, because he knows very well that there is nothing he can do about it. However, the situation in Guangzhou is still deteriorating, which is an indisputable fact, and the time left for him is getting longer and longer.

If there is less, we must act as quickly as possible.

………………

"According to the information sent back by Marquis Lin and Chen Canjun, in the past few months, the Tatars were either attacking cities or recruiting rebels. The past few months have been good. Ma Jixiang in Zhaoqing has stayed put. Ma Bao and Guo Deng

The troops sent to regain Qingyuan County failed; the Tatars attacked Sanshui County to the west of Guangzhou. He Wuzou organized more than a hundred large and small warships led by General Chen Qice and Zhang Yue's land division to fight, but they were defeated by the Tatars.

Sanshui County was lost; Sanshui fell, and the Zhongzhen Battalion sent out troops, but was attacked by Chen Bangfu in collusion with the chieftains. He returned to Guangxi in anger, and then even Chen Bangfu stopped moving..."

Pieces of information came out of Shi Lang's mouth, and some were nothing more than sarcasm. When he was under Li Chengdong, he chased the Yongli court like a lost dog. Ma Jixiang and others were defeated by his subordinates. Even Chen Bangfu wrote to Li Chengdong at that time.

Were it not for the rise of Chen Zizhuang, Zhang Jiayu, and Chen Bangyan who had received the letter asking for surrender and prepared to shave their heads and surrender to the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that Chen Bangfu would have had another wonderful performance when Guangdong was undergoing great changes.

As for Ma Bao, Zhang Yue, Du Yonghe, Fan Chengen and others who are squatting motionless in Guangzhou, they are also familiar with each other. However, it is different from the past. Although they have not developed much following Zheng Chenggong, it is better than the more miserable they become.

These Li Chengdong's generals.
