Zhang Tinglan's big hands gently caressed Zhou Xinyao's jade feet. The delicate skin, white and smooth, felt like soft jade in the palm of her hand. Zhou Xinyao's feet were extremely beautiful and very small, just able to be held in the palm of her hand.
It's like a treasure that people can't put down.
The soles of the feet have the most acupuncture points, which are connected to the internal organs of the human body. A gentle press can make the body extraordinarily relaxed. Zhou Xinyao has also walked a lot these days, and it happens to be when she is exhausted. With the soothing and orderly
The massage was so comfortable that I couldn't help but moan softly.
"Miss Zhou, no wonder many literati like to praise the three-inch golden lotus. It's really unusual."
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't bind my feet! Otherwise I wouldn't be able to walk a long time ago." Zhou Xinyao said hurriedly: "If you really like three-inch golden lotus, you can't find many of them. There are still many girls who have their feet bound. Their feet are
It’s half smaller than others!”
"Everything should be natural. Those small feet that are forced to be wrapped are a devastation to women. There is no sense of beauty. On the contrary, these natural and exquisite feet are a gift from God!"
"No, that's not the case. When I was little, my feet were almost bound into tiny feet!"
"Oh?" Zhang Tinglan hurriedly looked at it carefully and didn't see anything wrong, so she said with a smile: "Miss Zhou, are you kidding me?"
"Of course not. My grandpa is a stubborn old man. All the girls in the family will start binding their feet when they are ten years old. I am no exception. It's just that my mother feels distressed and sometimes lets her go secretly. This has continued for two or three years.
As a result, the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell, and the old man stopped doing things, and we were free. A few sisters' feet have been fixed, and my bones are not broken. However, they are a little smaller than ordinary girls. When it rains and cloudy days
, the heart-piercing pain, when I first started to learn medicine, I just wanted to treat my own feet."
Zhou Xinyao was usually reluctant to mention things at home. Today, she was particularly relaxed and talked about the past stories. Zhang Tinglan also listened quietly with a smile on her face: "What the old man did is also
What a benefit, at least he created a famous doctor and a pair of jade feet!" While speaking, Zhang Tinglan gently kissed the plump instep.
A splash of water from a dragonfly made Zhou Xinyao feel as if she had been struck by lightning. Her body trembled uncontrollably and she woke up. From her face to her neck, she was blushing all the time. She was so ripe!
After staying for a long time, Zhou Xinyao struggled to get up. With her head lowered and without saying a word, she sat Zhang Tinglan on the large mahogany chair. The basin of water she had prepared had long since become cold, so she replaced it with another basin.
Hot water. And I took a prepared medicine bag and put it in the hot water. A strong medicinal fragrance wafted out.
Zhou Xinyao gently rubbed the medicinal bag with both hands, and the hot water quickly dyed it a deep red color. The taste became more intense.
"Miss Zhou, if I had known you were a master at this, I wouldn't have done anything else. Just getting some mugwort leaves is a bit perfunctory, isn't it?"
"No, you prepared it specially for me. I carry it with me because I have different intentions!" As Zhou Xinyao spoke, she helped Zhang Tinglan take off her boots, and a smelly smell suddenly spread.
When he came out, Zhang Tinglan was a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry for running around here and there!"
"It's okay!" Zhou Xinyao grabbed a pair of sweaty feet and put them into the hot water. Zhang Tinglan's body suddenly trembled: "Miss Zhou, is the water a little too hot?"
"The medicine package contains medicinal materials that activate the tendons and activate the meridians. They can also remove cold and dampness. It's just the right time to use it in the autumn. Just be patient with it. It's good for your body!"
Zhang Tinglan had no choice but to let Zhou Xinyao manipulate her. A pair of jade hands gently massaged the soles of her feet, and waves of relief surged from her bones. Zhang Tinglan was almost drunk.
"I'd like to say that my father is going to Fengtian soon. Have you thought about how to answer him correctly?"
"What's so hard about it? From all aspects we consider it, it's a God-given marriage. At your age and my age, although your family has a stronger foundation, I'm not bad either. My father is also the governor of a province. Moreover,
I can tell you with confidence that even though your family has been in business for so long and is known as Southern Zhang and Northern Zhou Dynasty, your family’s combined wealth is probably less than a fraction of mine. Where can you find such a son-in-law?
Go!”
"Bragging!" Zhou Xinyao said with disbelief on her face, "You just know how to trick me. How long have you been in business and you have such a family fortune? Only a ghost would believe it!"
"Silly girl, when doing business, it doesn't depend on the length of time, but on the type of business. You can count it on your fingers. What I am doing, real estate, smuggling, finance, arms, food, all of them are industries with amazing profits.
Of course, the speed of making money is astonishing. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once said that the golden house hides the beauty. I don’t know how much gold this guy has, but I can tell you that I have at least more than ten tons of gold on hand. I can definitely build a gold house for you.
room!"
Zhou Xinyao was also shocked when she heard Zhang Tinglan's words. She had never seen gold before, but she had never heard of someone calculating it in tons. She was completely shocked!
"Since you have so much money, do you want to use the money to buy off our family and then buy me home?"
"No way, beauties are priceless. What I say is just to make my father-in-law agree!"
"You are really thick-skinned. Now you dare to call me father-in-law."
"I am being honest. Just say whatever is on your mind, Xinyao. In fact, I have the biggest secret to tell you!"
Zhou Xinyao immediately opened her eyes wide and listened to what was going on with great curiosity.
"The secret is that when I came here, I only prepared to deliver water, but I didn't plan to wash your feet. It was you who took the bait..."
Zhou Xinyao immediately shouted that she had been fooled, and used both hands to push harder. Zhang Tinglan only felt a sharp pain in the soles of her feet, and her legs were numb. It seemed that teasing a beautiful woman had to pay a price!
The next day, a group of them left Liaoyang and rushed back to Fengtian. Wang Yongjiang gained a lot from this trip, and he also had to start formulating a number of new policies. Zhang Tinglan was relatively free. At most, he went to the martial arts hall to visit, and
The students studied new tactics together and paid attention to the situation in Europe.
Li Jinglin has become a martial arts instructor at the martial arts hall. Although he knows that Li Jinglin is not weak in kung fu, Zhang Tinglan also has some doubts about the real effect of martial arts. Li Jinglin is so powerful, probably because he is in good physical condition and has trained well. If an ordinary person follows this
It is very doubtful whether one can become a master by practicing martial arts routines.
After all, those so-called martial artists in later generations had too many gangs and became the butt of jokes. In order to clarify this matter, Zhang Tinglan sent Li Jinglin many fine wines and of course dog meat. He also gave Li Jinglin a two hundred thousand yuan ticket.
Check and let him gamble as he pleases.
Under the powerful money offensive, Li Jinglin could only tell the truth. Chinese martial arts has been passed down for many years, and there must be merits. However, the actual fighting power of most people who have practiced martial arts routines is not much better than that of ordinary people.
At that time, I still looked at hand problems, height and strength.
With Li Jinglin's confession, Zhang Tinglan completely gave up the idea of training a group of martial arts masters, and instead adopted a safer approach. Zhang Tinglan suggested that Li Jinglin summarize a set of simple and practical boxing techniques, and then design some bayonet and engineer shovel fighting techniques.
, these are real dry goods, simple and easy to learn, practical and effective. As for those useless flower stands, they are all abandoned. The army is a place that pays attention to practicality, and there is absolutely no need for those embroidered pillows.
While these things were being implemented, Fan Xudong finally came over from Tianjin, and with him came Zhou Xueyuan, the fifth master of the Zhou family.
Two years ago, Fan Xudong opened China's first refined salt factory. Chinese people began to eat pure refined salt. Before that, the quality of salt on the market in China was actually not very good, especially for ordinary people.
Salt is mixed with a lot of soil, sand, gravel, vegetation, and other debris. Half of a handful of salt is garbage, and the real salt is only half.
But even such garbage can be sold for an astonishingly high price. In fact, the cost of salt is not much. The cost of ordinary sea salt may not even be half a penny, but how much do people have to spend to buy salt? The current
The market price should reach over 90 Wen, and in some areas it can reach around 100 Wen, and even higher in some remote areas.
A person needs to eat about ten kilograms of salt a year, and a family of three needs thirty kilograms. Calculated according to the price of salt, this salt will cost about two silver dollars. Even though there are only two silver dollars, many people make money all year round.
It is less than one or two silver dollars, and some years there is even a deficit. Therefore, most rural people are now busy for a year, paying various exorbitant taxes and land rent, leaving a little ration, and the remaining money is enough to buy some salt.
.
In later generations, there were house slaves and car slaves, and the common people today are out-and-out salt slaves. Of course, looking at it from another perspective, salt is a hugely profitable industry. Zhang Tinglan brought Fan Xudong over, and also used his factory to mass-produce refined salt.
The huge profits from the salt industry were seized.
Fan Xudong did not expect that a warlord in the Northeast would pay attention to his factory, and even promised conditions that almost made him faint. Everything hit the mark. It was what he had been looking forward to for a long time, but could not get.
From loans to taxation to talent training and product underwriting, Fengtian helps solve almost all business problems.
If it could all be implemented, or to say the least, even if it was half implemented, Fan Xudong would laugh out of his dreams, so he decided to go to Fengtian to investigate without hesitation. But at this time, the Zhou family also came over and wanted to go with him. Fan Xudong
Although he didn't know the inside story, he readily agreed that if the Zhou family was also prepared to invest in Fengtian, it would prove that Fengtian indeed had great potential.
Fan Xudong and Zhou Xueyuan took the train. As soon as they came out of the train station, they saw an endless stream of people. There were endless storefronts on both sides of the street. They were very prosperous. Both of them showed expressions of disbelief. (To be continued, please continue.) Search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
