Chapter 421 Time and Space Generation Gap
Chen Xu followed Fan Caiying into the lobby of the money shop at this time.
The area of this money house is more than three times larger than the first money house opened in Wancheng. The ground is covered with bluestone slabs. Although the layout is similar, there are eight windows for handling the deposit and withdrawal procedures. All of them are made of steel bars with a diameter of one inch thick as a fence. The thick oak counter is six feet high. Ordinary adults can only have one head when standing in front.
Many people know that ancient pawnshops, money shops, pharmacies and other shops that had a lot of money circulating every day had high counters. Chen Xu probably knew a little, but he didn't know why the ancients had to bring the counter to such an abnormal height. However, now he already understood that it was mainly to prevent robbery.
The counter is high, and only one head can emerge from the outside. If he wants to rob, even if he holds a crossbow and sword in his hand, he will not be able to reach it at all, because except for the shopkeeper sitting on a high chair, he can hardly see anything. It is not easy to climb up. After finally climbing up, the person hiding in the counter can stab you with a stick.
At present, the counters of the money house are not only high, but also steel fences. These are all specially asked by Chen Xu to help cast factories outside the city. They are considered to be using power for personal gain, but no one will have any objections, because the Academy of Sciences and the factory are both of Chen Xu, which is the emperor's order.
In addition to the counter where the procedures are opened, there is a row of rooms next to it, with nameplates such as manager's room, client room, VIP room, lounge, reception room, etc., which are mainly used to count and receive customers. As for withdrawing money, it is not here, but to issue documents here. Someone took them to a closed yard behind to collect them. They were all made of special wooden boxes, one box of copper coins and ten thousand coins, and gold was 20 taels, worth half a tael and four thousand coins.
The people from the money shop took Huangfuque to the reception room to count the coins and register, while Chen Xu, accompanied by Fan Caiying, carefully visited the inside and outside of the money shop, and then sat in the VIP room to have tea.
"The opening of a money house is extremely complicated. Unexpectedly, Miss Caiying completed the preparations in just over a month. It really made the girl shameful. Fan is indeed a family of capable people!" Chen Xu sighed at the spacious lobby while drinking tea.
"The Marquis was awarded. In fact, Caiying was able to prepare so quickly. It was all due to the Marquis' contribution. With your warrant, everything went very smoothly. Otherwise, it would be impossible to do it if Caiying was given another three or five months!" As Fan Caiying spoke, his eyes looked at Chen Xu with a pair of eyes.
If Chen Xu was an ordinary prince, prince, and minister, she would not dare to be so rude to give Fan Caiying a hundred courage.
But Chen Xu is different from other nobles and nobles. They have also communicated several times in a month. In Fan Caiying's opinion, Chen Xu, the marquis, seemed a little out of tune. Even a servant maid in the marquis's mansion could speak loudly to him, and even play tricks with Chen Xu, who was naughty, but Chen Xu was not angry and even cheated together. It seemed that as long as he was the person around him, Chen Xu had a good temper and was simply not a person from this world.
Half a month ago, the spring sun was warm, Fan Caiying went to the Hou Mansion to discuss things with Chen Xu, and found that Chen Xu was actually lying on the ground in the yard with a few little kids bullets and glass balls. He also lost and made others fuck him, but the kids were not afraid of him at all, so they made a slap. When he washed his hands and faces to receive Fan Caiying, Fan Caiying found that there was a large red spot on Chen Xu's forehead.
At that time, Fan Caiying stared at Chen Xu's red forehead and was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.
A few days ago, the weather was sunny. Originally, the spring was in full bloom, Fan Caiying came to discuss things. At the same time, she was secretly planning to invite Chen Xu out of the city for a trip, but at the door, she saw Chen Xu and a lame old beggar sitting on the base of the giant panda statue chatting in the sun, and chatting happily. Fan Caiying sat in the carriage and watched for two minutes before Chen Xu discovered it.
In addition, there are two flower bears in Chen Xu's mansion. Chen Xu also gave them a strange name, one called Tuantuan and the other called Yuanyuan. Every day, he had to feed them bamboo and comb their hair. Sometimes when he was happy, he even took the little flower bear to run and roll in the yard...
Therefore, after this month, Chen Xu's image in Fan Caiying's mind showed signs of complete collapse.
It was completely different from what the head of the family told before coming to Xianyang. This was not a noble noble marquis at all, but a strange marquis who could not see through everyone. He was very casual, he was very weird, he was very friendly, he was very smart, he could make all kinds of delicious foods. Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion liked him. This was a Marquis who did not need to be careful and fearful. Even if a servant in the Marquis' Mansion made a mistake, the biggest punishment was to do a hundred strange exercises called push-ups. Chen Xu also said that this was to make men more brave in bed. Therefore, a group of guards in the Marquis' Mansion had to do push-ups independently every day.
As for the mistakes made by the maids and maids in the mansion, Chen Xu usually forgives them easily, but sometimes they spank themselves, so the maids in the mansion like to make mistakes even more, but few of them are spanked.
I heard that he is only fifteen years old, what kind of marquis he is?
Could it be really a legendary disciple of the immortal family? Otherwise, why is it so unique?
Fan Caiying looked at Chen Xu blankly and at his face. At the same time, she couldn't help but think of the shy appearance of the little maid and the servant girl being spanked. Fan Caiying's delicate body shook for no reason. She felt a hot spring flowing in her body, and her body became a little weak, and her face instantly became extremely charming.
"Marty~" Fan Caiying called softly.
Chen Xu couldn't help but shake his hands and swirled out the hot tea. This voice changed the clean and neat tone of the beautiful president in the past, and it actually had a seductive voice. Chen Xu felt that he was pregnant in an instant.
"Be careful!" Seeing the hot tea pouring on Chen Xu's clothes, Fan Caiying instantly woke up and felt a pounding heart, and then she found a clean linen to help Chen Xu wipe it.
"Don't use it, I'll do it myself!" Chen Xu took the linen and wiped the clothes a few times. He felt that the lonely man and widow continued to stay in this warm room as warm as spring. He could not guarantee that the domineering beautiful president would not throw himself into his arms. At that time, should he follow or follow him?
Chen Xu was very entangled and contradictory. A young body that would stand up when touched was touched. There was also a soul of a man who was 26 or 27 who needed to comfort a woman. This combination was a fierce fire and a person like Liu Xiahui was disdainful. He was just a little worried that the 15-year-old little body would break the boy's skills too early in the future.
Now that Shui Qingrou is not around, as the four good young people who are deeply influenced by the monogamy of later generations, they seem to be the most ethical and moral. He feels that if he is not sleeping with Shui Qingrou, he will feel a strong sense of guilt.
But this does not mean that he does not like beautiful women or happy ones.
In the relatively open era of Daqin, women liked a man, and they often seemed to confess their feelings very straightforwardly, as gentle as water, and they accepted the love expressed by Chen Xu shyly and happily at the beginning.
Fan Caiying in front of him seemed to be using another method, constantly expressing her love. Every time she saw Chen Xu, she was both polite and had a very naked affectionate look.
This may be because she really admires her, but maybe she wants to cling to the powerful or maybe it was Fan Yong's instructions last time.
But no matter what, this is like the emperor giving a marriage, which is not easy to get rid of.
Fan Caiying is not a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl like Jiang Chuyue, nor is it a golden branch and jade leaf like Ying Shiman who grew up in the palace since childhood, nor is it a water gentleman who has been living in isolation from the world for several years since childhood, with a simple mind without any flaws.
Jiang Chuyue has no special purpose for liking Chen Xu. She only has a very hazy feeling. She belongs to a little girl's nature. Like the secret love of junior high school students in later generations, she is in a very helpless state and does not know how to express it. She can only repeatedly have a very extreme way to attract Chen Xu's attention.
Ying Shiman is well-educated and knowledgeable, and her love for Chen Xu is purely admiration.
Only Shui Qingrou's love for Chen Xu is a kind of clean and transparent love that reaches the soul, a complete admiration. She felt a kind of mercy for the suffering of this era from Chen Xu and wanted to use her own strength to change China. This is a kind of righteousness, a kind of righteousness that stands tall, and this righteousness is enough for her to give up her life to follow and protect.
Therefore, Shui Qingrou may be the only one who can understand Chen Xu in the world. Apart from her, everyone around her cannot understand, including Yu Wuya. Therefore, Chen Xu can also tell Shui Qingrou all his words. This kind of listening can also calm Chen Xu's mind and feel that even if he lives alone in this incompatible era, he can still find a place to comfort and stop in the soul. Knowing that no matter how lonely and helpless this road is, there is always a silent woman accompanying him quietly and gently.
One step ahead of your thoughts is a genius, and two steps ahead are a madman.
When a person's thoughts are two thousand years ahead of an era, he can either be a god who can be worshipped or a dead person who is regarded as a heresy.
Apart from Chen Jiangshi and Xing'er, two relatives who are connected by blood, the only thing that makes Chen Xu attached to this world is Shui Qingrou, and Yu Wuya may be half of it. As for others, including the emperor, they can be abandoned.
As for a woman with mature thoughts like Fan Caiying, there is definitely no problem with being a wife. She can satisfy all the sensory and desire requirements of a man for a woman, but she can never fill the gap in her mind. The generation gap in thought will always make the two out of place, just like two trajectories on a parallel line of time and space, you can look at each other and there will never be any place to intersect.
The only person who can stay together forever is Shui Qingrou.
Chen Xu hurried out of the China Money House and climbed into his luxury carriage to leave. He decided to stay in the Academy of Sciences for this period of time to supervise and guide the newspapers. He also repeatedly reminded himself in his heart that I am still young... I am still young, so I can't hurt my vitality so early.
