After leaving Lihua Lane, Chen Pingan wandered around Weishui County for a while.
Speaking of which, after staying in Weishui County for so long, he had never taken a good tour of the county.
In the early days, I had time but not the leisure. There is no time or leisure later. When he almost had some time to relax, he encountered suppression from the Fang family.
Nowadays, it is rare to go back to the Weishui River, and the matter is basically settled. Chen Ping'an can also calm down and take a good stroll here.
In the city of Weishui County, streets paved with bluestones crisscross and extend in all directions. There are many shops on both sides, and people come and go from time to time, making it very lively.
There are various shops on both sides, including treasure shops, craft workshops, weapons shops, and treasure pavilions.
Chen Pingan strolled on the bustling streets, admiring the prosperity of the world.
"Tanghulu, sell candied haws!"
There was a cry of hawking coming from the corner of the street, and Chen Ping'an couldn't help but smile.
"If my daughter were here, she would definitely be clamoring to eat candied haws."
This little girl, call her immature, but she was able to tell him seriously that she wanted to learn the art of domination. But if we say she is mature, she can't walk when eating.
After thinking about Chen Erya's appearance, Chen Ping'an showed a smile on his face.
Just passing by a treasure pavilion, Chen Pingan walked in.
"Master, welcome. Please come inside." A maid greeted him respectfully at the door.
Although Chen Ping'an was not wearing Zhenfusi's clothes, he was dressed well and looked like he was either rich or noble. The leading maid was naturally cautious.
"What do you want to see, Master?"
The size of this shop is quite large, with a dazzling array of treasures.
Chen Pingan did not answer the maid's words, but glanced around.
His eyes were attracted by a string of bracelets woven with colorful silk threads not far away.
The bracelet is adorned with a small piece of gold ornamented with delicate patterns.
"This bracelet is nice!"
Chen Pingan's eyes lit up.
According to custom, when the baby in the family turns one year old, a pair of silver rings must be put on the feet. It is said that this is to prevent the child from getting lost.
People with poor conditions use less materials for their silver rings, while those with good conditions use more solid ones.
When Chen Erya turned one year old, old Chen Tou was still there, and the family's conditions were good. The little girl was given a pair of solid silver rings with a delicate little bell hanging on them.
Wherever the little girl goes, she makes a tinkling sound.
But later, Lao Chen suffered a serious head injury and resigned from the Zhenfu Division, in order to give Chen Ping'an the status of a temporary sergeant. Pawn the silver ring!
I still remember that little girl’s eyes were red and her mouth was pursed, trying not to cry. Chen Pingan still remembers that pitiful look.
Later, after he was promoted to Chatou, he also tried to redeem Yinhuan. However, it has been too long, and Nannan’s pair of silver rings have long gone.
When Chen Ping'an came out of Zhenbao Pavilion, he already had an exquisite gift box in his hand. It was the bracelet contained inside.
My daughter is now older and the silver ring is no longer needed, but this bracelet is just the right gift.
Speaking of which, he really neglected his duty as an elder brother! When he was in Baishi City, he was considered a giant, but he never gave any serious gifts to his daughter.
Make it up! Make it up! Make it all up!
Chen Pingan smiled and shook his head.
Next, Chen Ping'an went to buy some gadgets. When he passed by the bookstore, he went in and bought several books, which were just gifts for his daughter.
Speaking of which, I have been away from Baishi City for a while. I wonder how Nannan is doing at home?
A brother is like a father!
Chen Pingan felt a little worried like an old father in his heart.
"As soon as we see Commander Liu, we will set off back to Baishi City immediately!" Chen Ping'an stayed in the inn for another night. It's not that he doesn't have other places to live in Weishui County. In fact, many colleagues from Weishui Town Fusi invited him to stay at home for a few days. Some colleagues even said that they have a vacant house somewhere and they are welcome to move in at any time.
Chen Pingan declined all these invitations one by one. Everything in this world is easy to repay, but favors are the hardest to repay.
Early in the morning, Chen Pingan went to Fusi, Weishui Town again. Amidst the respectful greetings of many officers, I walked into the gate of Zhenfu Division.
Today he was lucky enough to drink tea for a while in Zhao Lianzhi's public room. Then he was told that Commander Liu happened to be free.
In the bright and spacious luxurious public house, Chen Pingan met again this important figure in Fusi, Weishui Town.
"I'm humble enough to see you, sir!" Chen Ping'an lowered his head and held his hands in the appropriate posture.
"Peace has come!"
When he met Chen Ping'an again, Liu Yuanhua behaved very gently, like an amiable elder. It was as if he had forgotten the last time Chen Pingan rejected his approach.
Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Liu Yuanhua was selling in his gourd, since the other party had a kind attitude, Chen Ping'an was naturally happy to do so.
The exchange between the two was quite smooth. Liu Yuanhua asked Chen Ping'an about his thoughts on patrolling the periphery of trade routes and his judgment on the form of trade routes.
Now that he has taken on the position of deputy trade envoy, Chen Ping'an also has some thoughts in his spare time. Chen Pingan answered Liu Yuanhua's questions fluently.
"I heard that you went to Mu's house two days ago?" Liu Yuanhua said seemingly casually.
Coming!
Chen Pingan's heart tightened slightly.
You know it’s not that easy!
"Master Hui Liu, he has been working in a humble position since he was young, and he has a good relationship with Mu Wanjun, the legitimate daughter of the Mu family. The night before, he was invited by Wanjun to attend the banquet." Chen Ping'an replied.
"That's it." Liu Yuanhua nodded. "I didn't expect you to have such a connection with the Mu family."
Old fox!
As if you don’t know!
Chen Ping'an thought in his heart.
Liu Yuanhua can sit in this position, but Chen Ping'an doesn't believe such simple information. Would he not understand?
Ask him this question, I'm afraid it has a deeper meaning.
Sure enough, Liu Yuanhua said next: "There are countless young people in our Weishui County, but only you and Liu Ziming, the genius of the Liu family, are on the Canglong Prefecture rookie list. Since you two are both geniuses, they should be familiar with each other. Make good friends.
I wonder if Ping An would be interested in attending my Liu family’s banquet and getting acquainted with my Liu family’s genius? "
Although Liu Yuanhua didn't say it clearly, the meaning in his words was clear.
It was you who went to the Mu family's banquet the day before yesterday. You said that you went to the Mu family's banquet because of your friendship with Mu Wanjun, the direct daughter of the Mu family. I accept this truth.
So when you come to my Liu family, shouldn't you also come to my Liu family because Liu Ziming is also a top talent on the rookie list?
In addition, Liu Ziming is not comparable to Mu Wanjun. Naturally, my Liu family is not comparable to the Mu family. In the entire Weishui County, only my Liu family has the qualifications and strength to win over you!
Compared with the last recruitment, Liu Yuanhua's recruitment this time is undoubtedly more subtle.
Chen Pingan naturally understood what Liu Yuanhua meant.
"If Master Liu invites you, Ping'an will definitely go to the appointment. However, I just want to take one step at a time and serve the Zhenfu Division in a down-to-earth manner! Ping'an is unworthy of the name of this genius, and please don't compromise me, Master Liu."
oh?
As soon as Chen Pingan finished speaking, Liu Yuanhua raised his head and looked at him, with a faint hint of evil in his eyes.
It's okay to invite him to the banquet, but don't mention the matter of wooing him again!
This means he refuses! (End of chapter)
