Chapter 14 Entrepreneurial Ideas

Yang Zhen looked at that beautiful figure and thought silently: She calls me "Little Hazel", is this her exclusive nickname?Butler Qin and the fat cook both call me Yang Zhen. I have never heard of the term "little hazel", which is a bit new.By the way, Chen Shoushi once called me "Zhen'er"... Thinking of this, Yang Zhen's heart became hot, and her face also became slightly hot.

However, this servant girl was sent by his wife. Doesn't Chen Shoushi have a personal servant girl in his own home in the capital? Why use his wife's maid?

Didn't the lady's maid become eyes and ears by Chen Shoushi's side?Will she discover that little thought of hers?

Yang Zhen had already sounded the alarm in his heart, but on second thought, the most important thing now is to help adults start a career, and for this goal, he should go forward bravely.

Having made up his mind, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Well, although he was fined to kneel, kneeling in the yard is better than in the study, at least he can see the blue sky and white clouds, flowers and trees, and smell the breath of spring.

Just as she was thinking, that Cuiwei girl came back again, with a voice like an oriole: "Little Zhenzi, Butler Qin let me live in a side courtyard, and I will be your neighbor from now on." She knelt down and looked at Yang Zhen's face , with two dimples at the corners of her mouth, "Little Hazel, you look more and more beautiful. You don't know, after you left, the girls in the house felt sorry for a long time."

Yang Zhen smiled perfunctorily: "Thank you for the compliment. What do they have to regret?"

"Without such a lively and beautiful young man like you, the rest are either rough or dull, so boring. Of course they are sorry." Cuiwei said, noticing the patches on Yang Zhen's clothes, and said in surprise: "Hey, what are you wearing? Don’t throw it away when it’s broken, and wear it after patching it? Surely life is tight these days?”

She sighed: "The master is just arrogant and arrogant. He insisted on coming out to fight for the country by himself without such a big family fortune. Madam was afraid that he would be in short supply, so she asked me to bring 200 taels of silver this time. Now I can buy it for you." Some new clothes."

Yang Zhen said: "I don't know if the master will accept it."

Cuiwei said: "I brought it here obstinately, if he doesn't accept it anymore, he will be disrespectful to Madam."

"You came alone?"

"There is also the coachman Zhuzi. He sent me here. But Madam said, if the master doesn't want him, let him go back."

"Oh." Yang Zhen nodded, then pretended to have a fuzzy memory, and said, "By the way, you called me Little Hazel just now, why didn't I remember that, why did you call me that?"

Cuiwei opened her eyes wide: "Huh? Have you become stupid or lost your memory? You didn't recognize me just now, but now you don't remember the name Little Hazel."

Yang Zhen seemed to be very guilty: "I used to live in a muddle, I don't know what it is. Miss Cuiwei..."

"I'm two months older than you, and you call me Miss Cuiwei."

"Miss Cuiwei," Yang Zhen said humbly, "I'll ask you to raise a little bit more about everything in the future. Is that little hazel...?"

"That's what the maids in the house call you." Cui smiled, "You are cute. I don't allow you to belittle yourself. Oh, I understand." Her mind turned very fast, and her words The speed is also fast, "It must be that the master is too strict with you and always picks on your faults, so you have no confidence."

"No, I'm really easy to offend in front of the master." Yang Zhen laughed at herself, "Look, you saw me being punished when you first came here."

"What did you do wrong to be punished by the master?"

Yang Zhen looked aggrieved: "I don't know either, the master punished me if he wanted to, how dare I ask the reason?" He changed the subject, "Why did Madam send you here?"

"The madam loves the master. The girls in the young master's courtyard were clumsy. The madam was afraid that they would not be able to take good care of the young master."

Is this the reason?Yang Zhen was dubious.

"Sister Cuiwei, can you do me a favor?" He asked earnestly.

"You said."

"Young master has a copy of "Changzhou County Chronicle" in his study, can you show me it?"

"You kneel down and read a book now?"

"It's because it's too boring to kneel, so I have to read a book. And it can distract my attention. My leg hurts too much." Yang Zhen pretended to be pitiful.

"well."

"There is also a pen and paper, bring them together. Thank you, sister."

The sweetness really helped, Cuiwei was full of love, and after a while she brought books, pens and paper, and said: "I'll go and pack my luggage first, take your time, I'll see the master later." After finishing speaking, she left.

Yang Zhen thought, this girl is lively and straightforward, maybe she is a good friend.

He knelt alone to read a book, and turned to the county chronicles, which read: "There is a mountain in the east of the city, named Yunyong Mountain, and a lake around the mountain, named Jingpo Lake. There is a temple on the mountain, which was originally called Tiantai Temple. It was renamed Yonglian Temple in the seventh year of Tianyou. .Out of the western forest, there are thousands of pines and ten thousand poles of bamboo. After crossing the steep mountains to the east, the road is surrounded by Chongshi, with twists and turns. A few feet, it is the Dragon and Tiger Cave. The stones at the entrance of the cave are all high above the cliffs, and there is no room for them. Walk down the stone, look back at the entrance of the cave, and the bright moon is in the middle of the two cliffs..."

Yang Zhen wrote down the words "Yunyong Mountain", "Jingpo Lake", "Yonglian Temple", "Dragon and Tiger Cave", "Moon Cliff" on the paper, and his mind was full of thoughts.There are mountains and lakes, this is a good place, you can use it!

Then write: "Contacts - Capital: Chen Shoushi; Changzhou County: Gao Zhongyang, list."

I wrote so hard that I forgot about my leg pain.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of him, and his mind was wide open. The shadow was blown into his mind like a cold wind, and he couldn't help shaking: "Master, master?"

Chen Shoushi had finished the case, remembered that Yang Zhen was still kneeling, so he hurried back.I didn't expect to see this person kneeling on the ground, flipping and memorizing.What is he doing?

Yang Zhen hurriedly wanted to put the paper away, but unexpectedly, Chen Shoushi moved faster than him, took the paper over, looked at it twice, and was very puzzled: "What are you doing?" Chen Shoushi" three words, his heart was like a tsunami, his pupils constricted, his lips were stretched into a line, obviously he was trying his best to restrain his anger.

Yang Zhen thought desperately, I'm afraid another beating would be unavoidable this time.He intentionally distracted Chen Shoushi's attention: "Master... I will report to you later. Madam sent Cuiwei to serve you, and brought you 200 taels of silver. Cuiwei is cleaning up in the courtyard right now. Luggage, do you want my subordinate to call her over for you?"

Chen Shoushi frowned slightly: "Cuiwei is mother's personal maid, why did she send her here?"

"Ma'am, you feel sorry for Master." Yang Zhen replied in Cuiwei's words.

Chen Shoushi had a strange expression on his face, as if he was not very happy about Cuiwei's visit.But he didn't say anything: "Get up, I'll settle the score with you later, go and call Cuiwei."

Butler Qin came with Cuiwei.Cuiwei paid homage to Chen Shoushi, and said "Master" one by one, "Madam is very concerned about Master, and asked the servants to take good care of Master. I also ask Master to take care of your body when you are busy" and so on.

Qin Butler took the opportunity to propose to Chen Shoushi that Yang Zhen should go back to sleep in his own room.Cuiwei glanced at Yang Zhen suspiciously.

Chen Shoushi agreed.Yang Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she will have more free time in the future and can do more things.However, when he thought that Cuiwei would be by Chen Shoushi's side in the future, he felt sore again.

Very contradictory.

Chen Shoushi said: "Uncle Qin, Cuiwei just arrived, take her around and get acquainted with the situation in the mansion."

Butler Qin happily took Cuiwei there.

Chen Shoushi and Yang Zhen were left in the study.Yang Zhen noticed that Chen Shoushi was adjusting his breathing silently, obviously very angry, but he didn't want to have an attack.

"After kneeling for so long, have you reflected on your own mistakes?" His tone was a little cold, with some unclear emotions.

Yang Zhen said sincerely: "This subordinate went to the cell because Gao Zhongyang asked to see me. He has already sincerely repented. He is actually somewhat inferior, somewhat rebellious, and somewhat cynical. He is not a treacherous person. Therefore, this subordinate allows him to hug me." A hug... absolutely no other meaning."

"He hugged you because he likes you," Chen Shoushi said in a declarative tone, "and you accepted it."

Yang Zhen was shocked, what kind of logic is this?He couldn't afford such a big hat.

"The subordinate just accepted his hug, but not his liking." He argued, "It's two different things, master, you have wronged your subordinate."

"What would you do if he wasn't a flower picker, but the upright second master of the Gao family?"

Yang Zhen was stunned, he felt that Chen Shoushi's eyes were the same as when they first met, as if they wanted to suck him in.He stammered: "This subordinate... doesn't like him."

"What if you like him too?" Chen Shoushi pressed on step by step.

Yang Zhen thought to herself, I like you, so if you ask me that, I will answer according to my own will.

He plucked up his courage and stared at Chen Shoushi: "If I really like someone, I will go for it desperately, even if it is like a moth to a flame."

Chen Shoushi's eyes moved slightly, showing a thoughtful look.After a long while, he said: "I punish you, do you feel wronged?"

Yang Zhen looked at him: "Master, do you punish this subordinate because you feel that your subordinate is willing to accept the hug of a flower picker, which is a disorderly behavior; or is it because you are afraid that your subordinate will fall in love with a man?"

Chen Shou stood up abruptly, grabbed Yang Zhen in front of him, and almost stared at his face.Yang Zhen felt the masculine, oppressive aura covering him completely, his legs were trembling, and he was afraid for some reason: "Master, you..."

Chen Shoushi's voice rang in his ears, and the words were clear: "Remember, I don't care if you like women or men, if you like it, be firm and don't be a good person. If you don't like Gao Zhongyang, break him Don't get confused with him!"

"I didn't...just give a hug..." Yang Zhen felt that she became clumsy and couldn't speak clearly.

"Not only are you not friends with him, you were even an enemy the day before. You just gave him a hug after he said a few words. Are you so casual when you have skin-to-skin kisses?"

Yang Zhen saw her own reflection in Chen Shoushi's dark eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.He felt wronged, but he couldn't tell the difference, so he had to admit his mistake: "This subordinate knows his mistake."

Only then did Chen Shoushi let him go.Yang Zhen loosened his collar, silently took two steps back, and stood with his hands down.Chen Shoushi's breath still lingered in his nose, which was pleasant and dangerous, making him addicted and nervous.

"Okay, now let's talk about the next thing." Chen Shoushi took out the piece of paper and put it on the table, "What were you doing when you knelt down?"

Yang Zhen said: "My lord, when I looked through the county chronicles, I found that the county has mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery. This is a great resource. We can use it to develop tourism and drive the economy."

"What business?"

Yang Zhen hesitated: "...The subordinate said that playing is also a way to create wealth. The county is poor and lacks resources, but with this natural landscape, it is the treasure bestowed on us by God. The capital city Those rich kids here are used to seeing the bustling cities, and this place with beautiful mountains and clear waters is no different from a paradise for them.”

"Xanadu?" Chen Shoushi raised his eyebrows.He had never heard of these words that popped out of Yang Zhen's mouth.

Yang Zhen secretly supported his forehead.Which dynasty did I travel to?Your Excellency, have you never heard of Peach Blossom Spring?

"It's like this. Once upon a time, there was a fisherman who drifted along the stream and lost his way. He strayed into a cave. When he got out of the cave, he saw a magical land. The peach blossoms were in full bloom here, the fields were fertile, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the sound of chickens and dogs They heard about each other. When they saw the fisherman, they invited him home one after another, and entertained him with delicious food and wine. It turned out that these people fled to this place several dynasties ago to escape the chaos of war. What kind of changes have occurred.

"This story has been handed down, and this place is called the Peach Blossom Spring. Literati and bureaucrats generally have a heart of birth, and they all yearn for this paradise."

Chen Shoushi couldn't say a word, but just looked at him with strange eyes.

Yang Zhen was very disturbed by him, and said in a low voice, "This is what I heard from my subordinates."
