Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 29: Time is short and the task is heavy!

She said it was very fast. It would take at least an hour to make the clothes, right?

Isn't it too boring to sit here?

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said, "Ask the store to buy me a pack of cigarettes. Hardman's will do."

After thinking about the fact that cigarettes nowadays don’t have filters, he added, “Please bring me a better cigarette holder as well.”

I haven't smoked for two days and I feel anxious.

The village is full of home-grown tobacco, which has a very strong smell.

He had just entered the city of Peking and had not seen anyone selling cigarettes.

I have to wait for a long time for these clothes, so I bought a pack of cigarettes to satisfy my craving.

…………

Chen Xueru said with a smile: "Okay, okay! Brother Kaiwu, wait a moment."

She quickly made him a cup of tea and handed it to him personally.

Time is tight and the task is heavy!

I glanced at Zhang Kaiwu with nostalgia...

Chen Xueru quickly turned around and ran downstairs.

The high heels made her run like the wind...

…………

Zhang Kaiwu smiled. This girl runs too fast! ?

He took a sip of the tea and found it quite good, fragrant and with a sweet aftertaste.

He looked around and touched everything upstairs curiously.

This sewing table is really big, it must be a family heirloom.

I looked over there and saw a small warehouse, probably used to store goods.

It’s not convenient to go and see this, as he is not a thief here to explore the way.

…………

Bored, he ran to the window and looked at what was happening on the street downstairs.

Zhang Kaiwu discovered the advantages of today's buildings. They are all small courtyards, and ladies from wealthy families play in the courtyards.

Shadowy...

If you climb up high and look far for a long time, you will always discover some little secrets.

This small building is pretty good. There is another half floor upstairs, but I don’t know what it is used for.

Just now, when I looked from outside, there should be another room upstairs with a small balcony.

It should be a rest room. Nowadays, there must be someone on duty in the shops at night.

Otherwise the thieves will empty out your store.

It’s a pity that he can’t go up to see the scenery. He has good eyesight and maybe he can see something rare.

…………

After Chen Xueru went downstairs, she said to a girl:
"Xiao Cui, put down the work in your hands, take a rickshaw and go home to find my wife."

Xiao Cui asked, "Shopkeeper Xueru, what can I do for you?"

Chen Xueru said angrily: "Why are you meddling in other people's business? If there's something urgent, go and get there!"

Xiao Cui was so scared that she ran out quickly.

Chen Xueru said to Xiaolian again: "Go buy a pack of Hardman cigarettes and bring back a good cigarette holder."

Xiaolian ran out again...

Chen Xueru was watching the store, circling anxiously...

While spinning in circles, I thought about what Zhang Kaiwu said.

"It's whatever it is. Sister, don't think I'm poor. I really am rich."

How come such a good-looking country boy is actually rich! ?

Brother Kaiwu shouldn’t be rich! ?
A handsome guy like him should make a living by his looks!
Why are you working so hard!?

Thinking about that figure...

Chen Xueru wiped her mouth...

Why do I feel like drooling today?!
I stood at the gate and looked again, wondering why the person hadn't been pulled back yet.

After a while, Xiaolian's cigarettes and cigarette holder were bought back.

Chen Xueru ran up again and handed the thing to Zhang Kaiwu.

Smiling, she said, "Brother Kaiwu, don't worry, smoke first, I can make clothes very quickly."

Just after she finished speaking, she ran down again. Standing at the gate, she looked again and again...

…………

Zhang Kaiwu upstairs looked at her running around in confusion and wanted to say, "I'm not in a hurry."

She had already run away...

Why! never mind.

Zhang Kaiwu took a sip of tea and fiddled with the cigarette holder and cigarette.

The mouthpiece is handmade of brass from bullet shells and inlaid with broken jade pieces. The mouthpiece is made of white jade and the craftsmanship is very exquisite.

Zhang Kaiwu pulled a little cotton from the quilt in the space.

I put a little cotton in the cigarette holder as a filter and fiddled with it for a while.

He put on a Hardman cigarette.

He took out a match from the space and was about to light it on his chest like in the movies.

I looked at my chest and saw that there was no clothing on. It might not be suitable.

It doesn't seem to work on straw sandals either, they're a bit too rough.

Found a suitable location.

Zhang Kaiwu slid a tug on his trouser thigh, struck a match, and lit the cigarette.

Hardman is really awesome...

Fortunately, there is still a cigarette holder.

…………

The rickshaw finally arrived.

Chen Xueru finally waited for her mother Chen Lin and hurried to greet her.

Chen Lin was twenty-one years old, in the prime of her youth. Her figure was even more curvy than Chen Xueru's, and she was still quite pretty.

She had never suffered any hardship and she was well maintained, so she looked very young, about twenty years old.

When standing together with Chen Xueru, everyone would think they were sisters and the two had a very close relationship.

Lin Xiaoniang thought something big had happened in the store and her face was filled with panic.

She got off the rickshaw in a hurry, threw a few copper coins to the driver, and ran into the shop in a panic.

Chen Xueru immediately pulled him to the corner of the counter and discussed important matters in a low voice.

It is not too late.

Chen Xueru asked anxiously in a low voice: "Little girl! What kind of attack is this active attack you mentioned?"

Chen Lin was puzzled: "What happened? What happened in the store?"

Chen Xueru said shyly: "It's what you always told me before, when you see the right person, you have to take the initiative!"

So this is it?

There was no accident in the store.

...............

Lin Xiaoniang breathed a sigh of relief and asked happily:
"Have you really met the right one? What does he look like? How many people are there in his family? Can you recruit a son-in-law?"

Chen Xueru introduced Zhang Kaiwu's situation, and Lin Xiaoniang listened with a smile.

An orphan, from the countryside, very good looking! ?
Grows strong! ?

Perfect for recruiting a son-in-law!

It is so suitable for "Xiangyi Zhuang", it is simply a match made in heaven.

Xueru finally got it.

It's time to take the initiative.

…………

Chen Xueru said shyly: "What are you laughing at! There is one bad thing about Brother Kaiwu. He is rich!?"

"I just used a trick to tear his clothes and left him on the second floor, where he was still smoking and drinking tea."

"Hurry up and find a solution for me!"

…………

The clothes were torn...

Your method is not bad!

Lin Xiaoniang smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry! There is no such a good person as you say. I will go up and secretly take a look at his talent first."

Lin Xiaoniang patted her on the shoulder and climbed up the stairs with a smile on her face.

It seems as if the whole world is in my control.
