After a while, he raised his head, shook his head and said: "Boss, Xue Li appreciates your kindness, but Xue Li is from the countryside, his wife is still at home and has nothing to do, and there are still children in the village to take care of. I'm afraid I won't be able to do the job, I'm afraid I'll disappoint the boss' good intentions..."
Xue Rengui surprisingly refused!
The young people behind him all stared wide-eyed.
Chen Chu was also taken aback.
So he asked: "Do you think the money is too little? I can give each of you [-] guan a month, and you can get [-] guan!"
As long as it can be solved with money, it's nothing to Chen Chu.
Chen Chu knew that Xue Rengui's family was poor when he was young.
Even after a period of time after joining the army, he didn't have much money.
It wasn't until he was discovered by Li Er that he really soared into the sky and became a powerful person.
Xue Rengui at this time was very short of money.
If you are short of money, I will give it to you!
However, what he didn't expect was that Xue Rengui still shook his head and said, "Boss, Xue Liyi has decided."
Beside him, Cheng Chubi couldn't stand it anymore.
He jumped out, pointed at Xue Rengui's nose and cursed: "My boy, don't be ignorant of compliments. My uncle asked you to be a bodyguard. That's how I look down on you. Don't be shameless..."
As he said that, he was about to make gestures with Xue Rengui.
But Chen Chu grabbed her.
Chen Chu said: "Chu Bi, don't be rude."
As he said that, he looked at Xue Rengui and said, "Since you have made a decision, I won't force you... Now, my pencil factory needs a lot of clay, and you alone are not enough. Therefore, I plan to send a group of people, with chariots and horses, back to the east of the river with you, and transport the clay to Chang'an City continuously. The price of the clay will still be what Zhu can discuss with you. You have nothing to do, what do you think?"
Xue Rengui and others were very happy when they heard this.
You know, the previous clay was the price they personally delivered to Chang'an.
Now, equivalent to the same price, Chen Chu sent people to Hedong to pick it up.
Xue Rengui was a smart man, he knew that Chen Chu could actually bypass him and send people to Hedong to transport the clay without spending a penny.
In doing so, Chen Chu planned to reciprocate.
Xue Rengui was moved in his heart, so he said: "The boss' kindness, I will accept it wholeheartedly, but Xue Li is ashamed to accept the money."
He said no again!
This is someone who likes to say no!
Don't want any free money.
The young people are in a hurry.
Originally Xue Li was in the village and was known for his generosity and honesty.
Now it seems that this is not generous and honest.
This is silly!
How can you not want money!
Xue Rengui's actions also made Chen Chu feel very strange.
Are all the celebrities in history so weird?
For example, Cheng Yaojin, who lacks a string in his brain!
For example, Li Er, who often suffers from schizophrenia!
For example, Li Zhi is a foodie!
Chen Chu thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, let's do it this way. I'll send someone back to Hedong with you. You will charge [-]% of the previous price for the clay you transported, and the price for the clay you transported remains the same."
Xue Rengui said happily: "If so, thank you boss."
Chen Chu waved his hand and said, "Come here, take Xue Rengui and the others down to rest, and return to Hedong early tomorrow morning."
Xue Rengui and others were taken away by Zhu Neng.
Cheng Chubi said angrily: "Uncle, this Xue Rengui is too ignorant of flattery, let me teach him a lesson."
Chen Chu said: "You can't beat him!"
Although Xue Rengui was not Chen Chu's opponent.
However, it can be regarded as the most powerful among the people Chen Chu has fought against.
He reckoned that Cheng Chumo was no match for him, let alone Cheng Chubi.
Cheng Chubi: "..."
Chen Chu beckoned, asked Cheng Chubi to come forward, and confessed: "Chubi, uncle has something important for you to do... Tomorrow, you bring your troops and go back to Jinzhou, Hedong with Xue Rengui and others. You two thousand, along the way, you have to treat them well, especially Xue Rengui, let them eat the best food, wear the best clothes, and play with the best girls, understand?"
Cheng Chubi's eyes widened, he nodded first, and then shook his head: "Uncle, I understand, but I don't understand why this Xue Rengui is shameless and entertains him so well? This kind of person should be arrested kill!"
Cheng Chubi was filled with righteous indignation.
Chen Chu waved his hand and said, "Just do as I tell you, don't ask why."
"Oh!"
Cheng Chubi backed out with a dazed expression.
Chen Chu's intention to take Xue Rengui for his own use was very clear.
After all, he traveled to Datang for such a long time, and he was still alone, without even a team member.
Xue Rengui just can take it for his own use.
But Chen Chu also knew that people like Xue Rengui must be arrogant.
Although he is extremely handsome, he is only useful to women.
Xue Rengui cannot be subdued by relying on this alone.
Therefore, this matter has to be taken step by step, and there is no need to rush.
……
at the same time.
After Xue Rengui and others settled the accounts with Zhu Neng, they couldn't wait to enter Chang'an City and went to Dongshi for a stroll.
Seeing the bustling and bustling East Market, Xue Rengui was filled with emotions.
Last time, he didn't even have the courage to enter the East City.
He was ragged and penniless.
And now, he still wears shabby clothes, but the money bag at his waist is bulging.
Walking also has confidence.
All of this was given by Chen Chu.
Chen Chu is a good person!
But I couldn't give myself to him.
Next to him, a young man asked puzzledly: "Da Lang, that Chen Chu is rich and kind, and we will be his bodyguards, and he will be able to get his money every month. One month, in just one month, I can take care of him." Cuihua has married and returned home, why did you reject his offer?"
Xue Rengui looked solemn, shook his head and said: "Brothers, I know that everyone is short of money, but we are all people with great ambitions. We practice martial arts and study since childhood, in order to be able to stand out in the future. How can you be a man? To be a bodyguard, besides, Chen Chu’s origin is unknown, he is very skilled in martial arts, spends money like water, but has no official position, if I really become his bodyguard, I can’t say what the future will be like ...Master taught us back then, learned martial arts well, and sold them to the emperor's family, we can't forget Mr.'s teachings because of temporary poverty!"
Several people nodded.
They only follow Xue Rengui's lead.
Otherwise, when the whole village thought that Xue Rengui was crazy, they would not hesitate to follow Xue Rengui to Chang'an City by pulling clay.
After explaining clearly to everyone, Xue Rengui was in a good mood, and took a few people to Dongshi for a stroll.
……
Chapter 169 My uncle is not short of money
Come to a shop.
Xue Rengui stopped suddenly.
He saw a long silk dress hanging on the wall of the shop.
In his eyes, the appearance of his wife wearing this long skirt dancing in front of him suddenly appeared, and his eyes became tender and sweet...
The lady must look good in it!
Must be the most beautiful woman in the world!
he thought.
Then, he walked up involuntarily and asked, "Shopkeeper, how much is this long skirt selling for?"
The shopkeeper came up with a smile and introduced Xue Rengui: "Guest, you have a good eye. This long dress is made of high-quality silk from Suzhou. It was personally made by the famous Tailor Wang in Chang'an. You Look at the texture, look at the thickness, it's as thin as a cicada's wing, it's as if you haven't worn it...the price is not expensive, only thirty pennies."
The shopkeeper didn't look down upon Xue Rengui and the others because of their shabby clothes.
Instead, he was enthusiastic.
But Xue Rengui felt offended.
Because, in his pocket, there is only five pennies.
This is the money he and his brothers transported long distances to Chang'an City to sell it to the pencil factory and split it equally.
Already a huge sum of money.
Unexpectedly, I couldn't even afford a long skirt.
He looked unnatural, flustered for a while, and then stumbled out of the shop.
When he came outside, it took a lot of effort before Xue Rengui bought some rough cloth and was going to take it back so that the lady could make clothes by herself.
Before leaving Dongshi, he looked back at the shops in the distance, and the corner of his mouth suddenly felt bitter.
……
The next day.
Xue Rengui set off with his troops.
When they came, they were just a few carriages, seven or eight people.
But when they went back, there were dozens of carriages and dozens of people, forming a huge convoy.
Among them were the troops led by Cheng Chubi.
The convoy left Chang'an.
Near noon, rest in a mountain stream.
Xue Rengui and others took out the dry food they carried with them one after another, and then went to fetch water from the nearby stream.Prepare to deal with it with dry food and cold water. They have spent all the way from Jinzhou in this way.
However, Cheng Chubi directed his own people to start cooking.
Not long after, bursts of fragrance came.
Cuckoo.
The young people behind Xue Rengui looked at the dry food in their hands and suddenly felt that it was not delicious.
A young man said in surprise: "Da Lang, they are eating chicken."
"smell good!"
"It's so delicious!"
Smelling the smell of grilled chicken blowing in the wind, the young people salivated greedily.
Xue Rengui said nothing.
At this moment, Cheng Chubi ran over.
Cheng Chubi looked contemptuously at the dry food in the hands of Xue Rengui and the others, and asked, "Do you want chicken?"
Don't wait for the people behind you to speak.
