Xian Yaowen held Narcissus in his arms and kissed her on the cheek twice. "I can't answer this question with words. I can only take you into an environment. You observe with your eyes and think with your brain."

"What kind of environment?"

"The environment of the Eighth Concubine."

Narcissus's eyelashes trembled slightly, "What do you mean?"

"In the past, the Eighth Concubine was just a title. From today on, the Eighth Concubine is not only a title, but also an identity."

"What identity? I don't understand."

"Xian's business organization, position as the eighth concubine."

Narcissus smiled and asked, "What kind of position is the eighth concubine?"

"Under one person."

"Above ten thousand people?"

Xian Yaowen pinched Narcissus's chin and sneered, "I can only guarantee the first half of the sentence. The second half depends on you. Oh, by the way, you can also ride on me and pee."

"Master, you are so annoying." Narcissus blushed and said shyly.

"Hahaha."

The two of them stayed together for a while, then returned to work, discussed some investments, and left the office for Grange Road.

The Narcissus Manor, which is said to have an area of ​​15 square feet but actually has an area of ​​5.9 square feet, adopted the "face-saving" construction plan that was very popular in rural China in later generations. It is a magnificent exterior with rotten inside - the places visible to outsiders are decorated in gold and jade, while the places that are not visible are decorated in a slow manner.

The outermost area of ​​Narcissus Manor is planted with trees, including Terminalia tamarind, Hydrangea paniculata, Syzygium wilfordii, Azalea chinensis, Melia australis, Azalea serrata, and Rain Tree, all of which are suitable for planting in Singapore.

There is a circle of daffodil fences next to the tree belt. The fence is made into a five-step grandstand shape. Each step is filled with daffodil potted plants, from top to bottom, they are Chinese daffodils, French daffodils, trumpet daffodils, apron daffodils, and three-stamen daffodils.

Inside the Narcissus Fence is the 1.57-meter-wide and 1.57-meter-deep Zunxian River, with red carp and small fish swimming in the water and more than varieties of lotus growing on the water surface.

There is a Dutch-style windmill on the southeast bank of the river. It is not a decorative building but a practical mill.

Shuixian likes to drink soy milk and eat tofu. There is a mill where she can grind beans to make tofu. When there is wind, the windmill provides power. When there is no wind, the donkey has to work harder to pull the mill.

The Zunxian River and the mill form the pattern of "red carp, green carp and donkey", and the name Zunxian is taken from the pattern of "low" lotus and "high" daffodil.

The main building of the manor is located three degrees west of due north and faces three degrees east of due south. There is no architectural style to speak of. Like the houses in Sham Shui Po, it only adopts the simplest straight structure, with straight horizontal and vertical lines, and no curves that are difficult or laborious.

The building is constructed using an integrated cast of reinforced concrete. The 50-centimeter-thick walls are cast very quickly from bottom to top. The house with a usable area of ​​1800 square meters was cast in less than 20 days.

The west-facing wall is cast with three layers with a mezzanine, which can effectively protect against the sun's exposure. The roof is also equipped with sun protection measures, so the temperature in the house can be maintained at 17 or 18 degrees all year round.

Opposite the building is a garden in the style of an English manor, with a large flat lawn and only a driveway leading from the gate to the building. A few coconut trees are sparsely planted among the lawn.

Near the building is a car turning circle, in the middle of which is a fountain surrounded by white marble. In the center of the pool stands a statue of a woman, all white, holding a bunch of daffodils in her hand.

There were three roseate spoonbills playing in the pond, with white bodies and pink wings, which were very beautiful.

The manor has been made quite beautiful, but there are still many people in red scarves moving around in the garden, mixing mortar, or carrying stones, sand and floor tiles into the house.

Narcissus greeted the red-headed people and brought Xian Yaowen to the fountain. She pointed at a patch of bright red flowers and said, "Is it okay to plant some flowers here?"

"Like flowers?"

"Yeah." Narcissus nodded, "The flowers are so beautiful."

"It's not a big deal. Just plant the Rhododendron flowers that your friend gave you. The Rhododendron flowers are in full bloom, and the loess in northern Shaanxi looks like the south of the Yangtze River. It's a good omen."

"Rhododendron?"

"It's actually a kind of wild lily."

"Is it really okay?"

"It's okay. Who cares if I plant a few flowers?"

"Britain's motive was not to consider the citizens, but to consider the stability of colonial rule. The high value made it very suitable for the anti-government armed forces as a main source of income.

There are already armed forces that have gained the fruits of victory based on this. The Malayan jungle is dense, and it is not difficult to harvest tens of millions of dollars a year. With this income, cannons, planes, and warships can be bought at will. The British will be miserable. "

Narcissus chuckled and said, "Who will sell it?"

"Some of them are sold by the state." Xian Yaowen pointed at the statue of the woman, "Let's order another one to put in the bedroom. However, the landlord's family doesn't have any surplus food, so we should save money and not carve the clothes."

Narcissus glanced at Xian Yaowen and sneered, "Master, you are not like this."

Xian Yaowen laughed and said, "You don't like me like this?"

"like."

Xian Yaowen slapped Narcissus on her buttocks, "Little slut."

Narcissus bent her knees slightly and curtseyed, "Sir, I hope you will respect yourself."

Xian Yaowen lifted Narcissus's chin and said frivolously, "I killed several people to marry you, and you actually asked me to respect myself. Tell me, should I slap you in the face?"

"It's your fault." Two rays of light shot out from Narcissus's watery eyes.

"Clap, clap!"

"Ah, ah, it hurts so much, my life is so miserable, I just escaped from the tiger's den and fell into the wolf's lair, woo woo woo..." Narcissus just whimpered twice and then laughed out loud, "I am lucky to meet the master. I will laugh out loud in my sleep in the middle of the night. I really can't cry."

Pinching Narcissus's cheek, Xian Yaowen said jokingly, "You, your stay at Pipa Hall was not in vain. You are quite good at pleasing others."

Narcissus's face darkened, and she said pitifully, "Does the master dislike me?"

"You." Xian Yaowen poked Narcissus on the forehead, "Stop acting, it's time to call it a day. The Red Butterfly family is blackmailing and doing all kinds of evil. Why are you pretending to be a good woman?"

Narcissus smiled and said, "No matter how bad I am, I am not as bad as you. You don't even spare the dead."

"You, I give you three points of color, and you dare to dye it..."

Before Xian Yaowen finished speaking, a woman came up to Shuixian and said, "Boss."

Narcissus restrained her mischief and signaled to Xian Yaowen to come, "Master, this is Guigui, she used to be a smoker, now she eats with me. Guigui, don't call me boss from now on, he is my master, you should call him boss from now on."

Guigui bowed to Xian Yaowen and said, "Boss, I'm Qi Guigui."

Xian Yaowen looked Qi Guigui up and down from head to toe. Qi Guigui was thin, with fair skin and tender eyes, giving people a feeling of purity, elegance and charm.

If we want to make an analogy with a similar character, Lin Daiyu is very suitable.

But this is just an appearance. Deep in Qi Guigui's tender eyes lies the ferocity that only people who have lived on the edge of death can have.

"Guigui, I don't think you look like someone who lights cigarettes for others."

A "yan zai" is a maid in a low-end tobacco shop in Nanyang. She serves heavy smokers one-on-one. As a cigarette tube costs 2.6 yuan, the "yan zai" gets a commission of 20 cents. She is also commonly known as "2.6 yuan" or "20 cents girl".

Narcissus said with a smile: "Master, Guigui is different from other smokers. She used to have a nickname called Lin Daiyu with two guns."

"Oh? Lin Daiyu with two guns?" Xian Yaowen asked with interest: "One is a smoking gun, what is the other gun?"

"Boss, I'm used to using Smith & Wesson." Qi Guigui said with a bow.

"which one?"

"A .38 Destroyer."

"Old model." Xian Yaowen nodded. "Most people use guns to adapt themselves to the gun. In fact, the gun is a tool. You can change it and make it adapt to you."

Xian Yaowen pointed at Qi Longque and said, "Tell him what kind of revolver you think is best for you, and he will make it for you."

"Thank you, boss."

"You're welcome. Go get busy first."

After sending Qi Guigui away, Xian Yaowen said to Shuixian, "Have you known each other for a long time?"

"It's been a long time. When we first met, she was shot and fell by the river. I saved her."

"Shonan period?"

"In the summer of 1944, the doctor who treated her said that the two bullets removed from her body were from a southern pistol."

"It's interesting that a woman was injured by the 14th Type of Nambu." Xian Yaowen muttered.

"Master, Guigui is not a member of the Malayan Communist Party. She is a radio interpreter of the New 38th Division of the Expeditionary Force. She was surrounded by the Japanese on a cliff on the India-Myanmar border. She smashed the radio, detonated a grenade, jumped off the cliff, and survived by chance."

"Huh?" Xian Yaowen asked in surprise, "She is one of the seven sisters in the Qingpu class?"

"Gui Gui said no, she and the seven sisters were classmates."

"Oh."

Xian Yaowen did not comment and did not continue Qi Guigui's topic.

The two of them walked around the house and went to New Era on Theater Street in Chinatown for lunch.

Xinjiyuan is called a restaurant, but its selling point is not the food but the wine and women. There are dancers in the restaurant who can accompany the guests to drink and eat, as well as dance with the guests.

The two of them were not here for the dancers, but they were also here for them. The dancers' leader was Liang Saizhu, the second of the famous four Liang sisters. (End of this chapter)
