From the Late Qing Dynasty to the 21st Century

Chapter 17
Realizing that Xue'er might have heard Master Shen's words just now, Shen Luoxing quickly said to Master Shen, "Father, I agreed to this matter just now, but you have to agree to one condition, that is, I want to marry both of you at the same time. Let Xueer be my flat wife."

After listening to Shen Luoxing's words, Master Shen's smile stopped for a while, but it seemed that he had thought of something, and the smile appeared on his face again.

"Okay, father promised you to marry Xue'er. In fact, Xue'er was prepared by father for you long ago. Her mother was a beauty back then. It's a pity that she didn't want to stay in Shen's residence." Master Shen sighed. , showing a sneer again, and then said, "Tomorrow I will go and tell Mr. Li, and I understand that he will not refuse your great opportunity."

Shen Luoxing was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He remembered the rich middle-aged man who came to the Shen family back then, and then thought of this world, just like a scene in the last years of the dynasty. Finally, he sighed silently: "Everyone It's because of these chaotic times."

But what can we do? At the same time, Western countries have already embarked on the road of industrialization, and have begun to move towards the road of capital plunder and colonial expansion. As for Hua Guo, it seems that a pair of monarchs and ministers are still fighting each other. The land is exploited, and the big clan squeezes the people.It can only be said that what people in the eastern and western countries think in their minds is not at the same level.

The human race will always go through certain stages. At the very beginning, they drink blood and strive for the continuation of the race. Afterwards, they practice slash-and-burn farming and strive for the survival of individuals and families. Fight for more power and wealth.

Therefore, the human race is actually very simple, but also very complicated. The simple thing is that they always have goals to strive for, and the complicated thing is that their goals are always changing.

In the current Qing Dynasty, most people are still in the second stage of pursuit, so for the next 100 years, Shen Luoxing will not intervene in related matters. After all, serious illness requires strong medicine, otherwise , that history of suffering may be staged again in another future.

This is also Shen Luoxing's inner feelings for so many years, it is better for the Qing Dynasty to perish.

Master Shen acted very quickly, and went to discuss the marriage with Master Li the next day. After a while, Master Shen came back with a flushed face. As expected, Master Shen agreed. .

This also made Shen Luoxing feel very sorry for Li Qingwan, because this incident is undoubtedly a double blow to her. One is that she will share a husband with others, and the other is that her father helped her without her knowing. Made a decision.

Sure enough, not long after Mr. Shen returned home, Li Qingwan came to the door. Because they are already 14 years old, Shen Luoxing's group of students no longer go to school. Those who are capable choose to go. The academy, and some incompetent and girls basically returned to their homes and started to get in touch with some businesses at home.

Li Qingwan is the second type. Master Li asked her to take over a cloth shop. In the morning, she was still looking at the cloth in the shop happily, preparing for her wedding dress, but it didn't take long before she learned about it.

How should I put it, in fact, Li Qingwan's heart is quite weird, because when she found out that she was going to marry Shen Luoxing yesterday, she thought about what would happen to Xue'er if she married Shen Luoxing. After getting along for so many years, although they were fighting, the two became good friends after all.

In fact, I also know Xueer's intentions. It can be said that the two are both friends and competitors, but now that the news came, didn't I change from a winner to a draw? But this way, I don't have to feel guilty anymore In short, Li Qingwan's inner feelings are indescribable.

Similarly, on Shen Luoxing's side, after Xue'er learned about this incident, she immediately hugged Shen Luoxing happily, but then she began to worry about gain and loss again, which was similar to Li Qingwan's.

However, after Shen Luoxing said a lot of things like you are all my wings, the two of them let go of their prejudices.

"I'm really a selfish guy. Is this really the inferiority of human beings?" Shen Luoxing couldn't help complaining about his actions.

The wind of autumn harvest chicken quickly spread throughout the capital, and then a news spread the wind to the whole Qing Dynasty. After the chicken soup, he, who was sick in bed, unexpectedly appeared in court the next day, and the reputation of this autumn harvest chicken supplement spread, and even in some remote areas, people spent a lot of money to buy chicken.

There will always be some unbelievers in the world. When they know that only Shen Luoxing can produce a good chicken, someone will still steal it. Shen Luoxing has no choice but to make the servants on duty into a group of four. Coupled with the vigorous crackdown by the county government, this can be regarded as barely suppressing the trend of stealing chickens.

However, on Woniu Mountain, 120 miles away, someone is plotting something, which can be regarded as Shen Luoxing's crisis, that is, the kidnapping of Shen Luoxing. After hearing about the magic of the autumn harvest chicken, he bid 500 taels of silver for the autumn harvest chicken, which is already a sky-high price.

We must know that silver still had considerable purchasing power during this period. During the period of Emperor Daoguang, the price of silver was basically maintained at one tael of silver for a thousand copper coins, and a copper coin was almost equivalent to the current two cents according to the price at that time, while 500 If the two silvers are converted, it is almost 10 yuan.

For the two brothers Ye Long and Ye Hu who went to the mountains to become bandits because they were poor and crazy, it was a big deal, but because no one had ever been able to steal real autumn harvest chickens from Shen Luoxing's chicken farm, so The two brothers wondered if Shen Luoxing was raising chickens in other places. The chicken farm was just a decoration, so as long as they could catch Shen Luoxing, they could get a steady stream of 500 taels of silver. People made a detailed plan.

First of all, the two inquired about the location of the chicken farm, the staff on duty, and the time of shift change, and then they sent someone to inquire about Shen Luoxing's habits. Finally, the two came to the conclusion that Shen Luoxing usually doesn't leave the city, and is a full-fledged nerd !
However, the two of them still got some useful information. For example, Shen Luoxing would go to the chicken farm to feed the chickens in the morning. After feeding the chickens, he would return to the boxing gym to practice boxing. In the afternoon and evening, Shen Luoxing would go to raise chickens Changing the water on the spot, and when changing the water, Shen Luoxing would often go along the canal to check if there was any problem.

As for reading, with the deepening of Shen Luoxing's boxing practice and the growth of his body, Shen Luoxing now has to stand for almost four hours at a time, so there is no time to read, even lunch is cut by Shen Luoxing It was replaced by an afternoon snack.

The two bandits unanimously came to the conclusion that Shen Luoxing, who went out to check the canal, was the best target. As for Shen Luoxing practicing boxing, both of them subconsciously ignored it. After all, Shen Luoxing was only 14 years old. So what if you start practicing boxing from the womb?

However, there were not too many people accompanying them, there were only thirteen people in the whole village, except for the two brothers who were the leaders, they only planned to take two people to carry out the kidnapping.Firstly, because we only need to deal with one child, we don’t need a lot of manpower; secondly, we bring two more people to let the wind out and prevent the guards from the chicken farm from finding out; An important point is to prevent the home from being stolen.

After all, the land that was acquired with great difficulty cannot be stolen by others.

On a cold morning in early October, before dawn, with the help of moonlight and thin starlight, the four-member group of bandits and bandits embarked on the road to riches.
