Part One, Chapter 32
The skin of a Vietnamese woman is somewhat dark. Even the princess who caught her as a maid in front of her was slightly darker. To be precise, according to Chen Congyun's view of the era in which she passed, this is a skin color that symbolizes health.
His feet looked so tender and white, and the calves, thighs, and... Chen Congyun's thoughts were a little dirty. He quickly withdrew his thoughts, slapped his forehead and rang a question he had been asking before.
"How can you speak Chinese?"
Perhaps it was the first time I saw Chen Congyun, who was kind and happy, and the girl was a little panicked and at a loss. She saw the house quietly in her eyes. Even if Chen Congyun wanted to do something, the sentry at the door would probably pretend not to be visible. The girl gritted her teeth and replied in a low voice: "My mother is from Guangxi, China. She was bought by a Chinese businessman and gave it to her father."
Chen Congyun didn't expect that there was such an answer. He couldn't help but stand up, walked to the girl, looked carefully, and confirmed that the girl's clothes looked a little old, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "No wonder that the damn Vietnam King didn't feel sorry for me when I caught her, and even threatened that a Vietnamese woman would be one hundred taels a day. Damn, it turns out that this girl is not in the palace."
With this idea, Chen Congyun felt a little pity. Seeing that the girl was wearing less glamorous than her two girls, she sighed.
"Li Xiaosan, come in."
Wearing straw sandals and standing at the door hesitating, Li Xiaosan still didn't come in and whispered: "Sir, what are your instructions?"
Chen Congyun saw the girl rushing to the cabinet, took out two pairs of washed wooden shoes, and ran to the door to change shoes for Li Xiaosan. Her good feelings suddenly arose.
Walking to the door, Chen Congyun took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to Li Xiaosan and said, "Go, find a better tailor to come back and make her two new clothes."
Li Xiaosan reached out and pushed back Shen Congyun's silver ingot and said with a smile: "Sir, do you still need to spend money on your own? Go back and I will take my two brothers with me and take a trip to the Vietnam Palace. Not to mention a few clothes, dozens or hundreds of them are all easy to get?"
Chen Congyun was shocked and then he remembered a question. Vietnamese people were everywhere, and they would not be able to learn the French way of doing it. To deal with the common people, the best way is to deal with the Vietnamese king directly.
Thinking of this, Chen Congyun glanced at the girl and smiled gloomyly. The girl couldn't help but shudder and felt something was wrong.
"Very good, thanks to your reminder, this reward is for you to drink, go and do business. I also sent someone to invite several adults and said I want to discuss things."
Around ten o'clock in the evening, Wan Shusheng and the others came back and stood at the entrance of the study room. After a while of hesitation, he did not dare to come in.
"Grandma, the floor is so bright that I can't bear to step on it." Wan Shusheng scratched his head and smiled bitterly. Chen Congyun came out of it with a smile. Looking at the ground full of the girl's hard work, she really couldn't bear to destroy it.
"Damn, let's go outside to talk. This place was made by that girl and there was no way to live."
Hearing the word "Maid", Li Yaozu's eyes lit up, he looked inward, and he couldn't help but say, "Where is it? Where is it? Let me see."
Chen Congyun smiled and kicked him. Li Yaozu dodged skillfully, smiling so hard that he didn't care at all.
At this time, the girl princess came out with a pair of wooden shoes from her hand, squatted on the ground and changed to Chen Congyun. Cao Yi, who was on the side, kept his saliva and said, "Sir, he is an adult, and his eyes are poisonous."
Chen Congyun was speechless and too lazy to get angry with him. He walked out wearing wooden shoes and walked into the hall downstairs.
"I called you here to remind you. Brothers may have to stay in Hanoi for a long time in the future. Let me listen to it. Go back and restrain my subordinates and never disturb the people. If you have any questions, let Vietnamese officials do it. Officials who cannot do it well will do nothing to me. In short, our army is a disciplined army, not a bandit. We will never do bad things. If you want to do it, let others do it. Do you understand?" Chen Congyun said seriously with a stern face.
Li Yaozu was a little confused and spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Sir, are you talking about it more specifically?"
"To be specific, be kind to others and trade fairly. If others don't offend me, I won't offend others. If someone offends me, kill his whole family."
The sound of someone falling from the upper floor came from the sound of him falling. Chen Congyun turned his head and looked at him, smiling gloomyly.
"Sir, what if Vietnamese officials encourage the people to cause trouble?" Cao Yi deserved to be a person who had been in Vietnam before, and asked the point. Chen Congyun said with a straight eyebrows: "Didn't I say it? Kill his whole family! Remember, you must eradicate the roots when killing. When killing, remember that if you don't kill, you should kill him without leaving any other children."
The three of them had to let them go. Chen Congyun worked so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist. He went back to the bedroom and lay on the bed. The girl's ghost-like white figure followed in. Without waiting for Chen Congyun to greet him, he gently pinched his hands on his shoulders.
The girl was skillful in her skills, and she seemed to do such things often. Chen Congyun wondered in her heart, was she a princess she got back? Thinking of it, Chen Congyun turned around and stretched out her hand and grabbed the girl's hand.
"Ah!" the girl exclaimed softly, trying to take her hand back, as if she remembered something, but she was so scared that she didn't dare to try hard, so she had to sit there with her head down and not speak.
Chen Congyun just touched the girl's palm and found that there were actually a thin calluse on her hand. Then he lay back and whispered: "What's your name? What do you usually do in the palace?"
"Ruan Xiaozhen, because her mother is Chinese, she is usually excluded by the senior queen. The mother and son live in a bad place and eats poorly. She has to do a lot of things personally. When I was about to explode people today, my brother was pushed in front. When I was anxious, I bit the soldier who was in the army." Speaking of this, Ruan Xiaozhen knelt on the ground and begged loudly: "I beg you, you can do whatever you want. I can do anything and I am willing to do anything. Please don't hurt my brother."
Chen Congyun didn't look back and sneered: "Don't you hate me very much? Why did you remember to beg me?"
"I..." Ruan Xiaozhen seemed to be an honest man, and was so speechless that Chen Congyun could not speak.
"Okay! Go down, no need to answer, I'm going to sleep." Chen Congyun felt sleepy and said lazily.
"Yes!" Ruan Xiaozhen let out a long sigh, and what was expected to happen did not happen.
The sun came out early, and the night was surprisingly quiet. After Ruan Xiaozhen's bedroom was cleaned and tidied up, she lived a lot more refreshing. I had heard that men who like traditional women could go to Vietnam to spend some money to buy a wife. Vietnamese women were the most considerate and diligent, and they didn't dare to walk in front of men when they walked on the street with men.
I sat up and stretched, and was about to greet Sheng Xiaoqi casually when I heard a crisp sound, singing an unknown song.
The song is sad and resentful, floating in the sunshine all over the room with the morning breeze.
Walking along with the singing, when I arrived at the door, I saw Ruan Xiaozhen in the corridor, kneeling on the floor with her back to her back, with a pair of beautiful buttocks swaying. While humming a small song, she wiped the floor in the corridor one by one.
"Do you want to rub the floor of this huge room?" Chen Congyun asked suddenly with a wry smile, thinking why she was always busy no matter whenever she saw Ruan Xiaozhen. Don't you know that there is a term in this world called "rest"?
Ruan Xiaozhen sat on the floor in shock, and looked back and saw a trace of hatred flashing in her eyes, and then it was filled with fear. Hatred! The hatred among nations is the most difficult to resolve. Since it is difficult to resolve, it can only be conquered by violence.
The thought that came out of his mind made Chen Congyun feel shocked and then made a more firm decision. This is an era of plunderers and conquerors. If you want to be a temporary contender in this era, violence is the most reliable. At least, in this strange country, violence is the last weapon to rely on.
"Get up and wait for me to wash." Chen Congyun retracted his thoughts and stepped downstairs. The wooden pawns on the wooden floor made a clattering sound, hitting Ruan Xiaozhen's heart one by one.
"Sheng Xiaoqi!" Standing in the hall downstairs, he shouted loudly.
Sheng Xiaoqi, who had been lazy for a long time, ran out of the room.
"Master, what are your instructions?"
"Come with me to the study."
There are three envelopes on the table, with the names of Li Hongzhang, Sheng Xuanhuai and Zuo Zongtang written on them.
"Remember, don't be lazy and send a telegram directly, and find someone who is reliable to send it to me."
Seeing Sheng Xiaoqi leaving the gate, four soldiers escorted out of the gate, Chen Congyun's heart felt a sense of pride and a dark cloud floated from the sky, gradually covering the sun.
"The sky is about to change!" Chen Congyun whispered to himself.
