Zhutian: Starting from being forced to bind

Don't say anything more, just buy some copybooks and practice calligraphy. This has become the top priority. The good news is that the skill bar has been activated and LV1 calligraphy has been included.

Kawakami Tomie doesn't have to worry about food and drink, as he has super luxurious bento and Coca-Cola. It can be said that when it comes to food, there are few people in this era who can compare with him.

In terms of work, he was assigned to Shen Lian's small flag, so the two of them could take care of each other.

Not everyone is qualified to be equipped with the Feiyu uniform and Embroidered Spring Sword of the Jinyiwei. Jinyiwei below the rank of centurion can only wear the black uniforms in the movie. There are no requirements for weapons; it all depends on one's expertise.

Chen Xi uses the Kaba 1217 military knife, which he explains to the outside world as a family heirloom.

After becoming a Jinyiwei, the first task he participated in was to search the house. Following Shen Lian, there were three other people in the small flag, plus other small flag teams, and they cooperated with each other to search the house of a certain official.

This was an opportunity to make a fortune. The Jinyiwei's salary was not much, and it all depended on the share of the confiscated property. To a soldier like him, it was just five taels of silver.

Within the Jinyiwei, everything is clearly priced. Even then, you have to have connections. Without connections, you can't give money even if you want to.

So everyone wants to climb up the ladder. Power means money. Without money, how can you enjoy the good life?

Compared to the hard lives of other Jinyiwei captains, Chen Xi's life was quite good. He had three super luxurious lunch boxes every day and had a wealth card to help him accumulate money.

His daily life consisted of practicing calligraphy, patrolling, and searching homes. He would give gifts to Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian during festivals. The more gifts, the better. He was not short of money anyway.

Living in this era, the main thing is to be cautious in words and actions. Chen Xi did very well in this regard. He developed quietly and never talked loudly outside. When others boasted, he would just listen quietly. He also participated in the team's activities, making sure to fit in but not being the first to stand out. However, he never stayed overnight in brothels. Who knows if these girls are sick or not? He dared not gamble.

On a dark night, there was a sound of footsteps on the quiet street. About three or four people were fleeing for their lives. In the moonlight, they were horrified to see a figure blocking their way.

Several people exchanged glances with each other: "He is alone, kill him."

"Go! Protect the young master and kill him!"

"Alas... why seek death?" Chen Xi said as he pulled out the dagger, held the dagger in his backhand, and deflected the opponent's blade, then lightly scratched the opponent's neck, causing blood to spurt out.

Chen Xi did not stop, turned around to avoid the attack of another enemy, spun the dagger, and stabbed it into the opponent's heart. At the same time, he kicked the third enemy away with a side kick, and swung the dagger hard, just stabbing it into the opponent's head.

Three of the four men died instantly, leaving only the last young man trembling and unable to hold the sword in his hand. He begged, "Let me go, I have money, I have plenty of money, all for you."

Chen Xi didn't say anything. He looked at the other person with pity, walked over and pulled out his dagger.

The young man took advantage of Chen Xi's back to him and mustered up his courage to chop him down.

"Dang~"

Chen Xi put the dagger behind him to block the young man's sneak attack. He turned around and hit the opponent in the chest with an elbow.

The young man almost couldn't catch his breath and took several steps back. The next second, the sharp dagger cut across his throat and blood spurted out.

The young man covered the wound on his neck and fell down with an unwilling look.

At this time, several people came running from a distance, led by Shen Lian: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay. It's not difficult to deal with." Chen Xi pointed at the body of the young man on the ground and said, "I'll have to trouble Master Xiaoqi to deal with it later."

"Pa, pa!" Shen Lian patted him twice and said nothing, meaning that he would leave it to me to handle it.

Another Jinyiwei came over and whispered, "The Sun family was surrounded, but these guys escaped. Something is going on here."

"It has nothing to do with us." Shen Lian said seriously, "We just need to hand over the body. Don't ask any other questions."

"clear."

"Let's go and take the body back. It's too late today. Let's go out and celebrate tomorrow night. This time, it's all thanks to Chen Xi."

"I don't dare, I don't dare." Chen Xi quickly said modestly: "I'm just lucky."

"Luck is also a part of strength. Stop talking and let's go."

Things were just as that Jinyiwei said, they didn't ask any questions about the inside story and just waited for the reward to be paid. The soldiers below didn't dare to get involved in the game between the top leaders.

Chapter 34 Zhou Miaoxuan

The next day, Shen Lian, who received the reward, took his four subordinates to listen to music. This time Chen Xi killed someone and he got the lion's share of the credit, so it was only right that he should treat Chen Xi to a meal to express his gratitude.

This is an unspoken rule, and Chen Xi didn't even think about competing for the credit. He just divided the money according to the convention.

Besides, he has only been in the Jinyiwei for less than three months. Even if he has made contributions, he cannot be promoted. Moreover, if Shen Lian does not get promoted, there will be no vacancy for a small flag officer for him unless he is transferred to work under someone else.

Promotion is not just based on merit, but also on connections. Fortunately, Chen Xi has no shortage of this, as Lu Wenzhao is there to support him.

In the box, five people were drinking and chatting, and there were girls accompanying them. Due to their presence, they talked about non-sensitive topics.

Take the Sun family, whose property was raided yesterday, for example. They were simply implicated by the ignorant young master of the family. He said some things that he shouldn't have said in public, and if they were heard by someone with ulterior motives, that was a problem.

The house was ransacked and the person died, just for a few nonsense words, what's the point?

The lessons of the past are there, and as Jinyiwei, they dare not speak carelessly. Yin Cheng, who was looking for death at the beginning of the story, is not yet on their flag.

As for the men, when they get together, if they can't talk about career, then they talk about women. One by one, they start bragging mode, exaggerating their abilities in various ways, which makes the girls next to them laugh.

The low-level Jinyiwei always come to their place to play, so everyone knows who they are.

If there is one person who has always been a mystery, it has to be Chen Xi. He has never stayed overnight, but the girls in the place are very greedy for him. How handsome he is, but if you don't tell them, you can't tell that he is a Jinyiwei. He is well-mannered, like a scholar.

Chen Xi was drinking and chatting with the girls around him. He mainly wanted to learn more about this industry and see if there was any way to get Zhou Miaoxuan back.

"Yangzhou skinny horse?" The girl who accompanied him with wine shook her head and said, "I'm not sure. You should ask your mother about this. If Master Chen wants to know, I can help you call him."

"Don't worry, you can ask again later when you have time." Chen Xi asked, "If I want to redeem the Yangzhou skinny horse who has not yet debuted, how much silver will it cost?"

"Master Chen, I really don't know. I can't tell you. Skinny horses in Yangzhou have never been cheap since ancient times."

Spending money was not a big deal for him. The difficulty lay in how to find Zhou Miaoxuan. This kind of thing had to be done by a professional, preferably someone in their business. No one was more suitable than the madam.

It was a bit too much to talk about other skinny horses in front of the girl, so Chen Xi simply stopped asking and just enjoyed himself. Although he couldn't do anything real, it was still okay to satisfy the feeling.

The girl was so aroused that she was breathing heavily, and her resentful eyes kept glancing at Chen Xi. To be honest, at this point, she would not be willing to do it even if she was not paid.

However, Chen Xi was afraid that it was not clean, so he still did not stay overnight. He went out to play for a while, which made him and the girl very angry, and he had to give in.

Before leaving, Chen Xi found the madam and asked her what to do about the matter. The madam gave him the excuse that the madam was a descendant of an old friend and should not have made her debut yet. She was still being trained, but she didn't know where exactly she was, only that she was in Yangzhou.

"Sir Chen, your matter is not difficult to handle. It's just that it's a lot of work, and we have to find the person, plus the money to redeem her..." The madam showed a greedy smile: "It's not easy."

"Just tell me how much money it will take." Chen Xi said impatiently, "I don't care about anything else. I'll just pay the money and wait for you to send the person to me. Tell me the amount."

"Five hundred taels."

"make a deal."

"When will it be done?"

"Master Chen, I can't say for sure, but don't worry, I will do my best. As long as she is still in Yangzhou, I will definitely find her."

"Don't just limit yourself to Yangzhou. If you can't find it, look in the surrounding cities as well. Don't worry about spending money. I'll give you the difference later."

"Okay! With your words, I feel relieved. Just wait for me."

After entrusting the matter to the madam, Chen Xi no longer asked about it. He had great confidence in her professionalism. This place and two other higher-end places in Beijing had the same owner, and the owner had great power.

Zhou Miaoxuan’s problem has been temporarily solved, but his problem has not been solved.

My original purpose in traveling to this world was to release some excess energy. But now, not only have I not released it, but I've been holding it in for more than three months. Isn't this purely my own fault?

As a result, when Chen Xi returned home and saw Kawakami Tomie, he felt that she was pretty, even though she was already good-looking.

Chen Xi couldn't help but ask, "What's your situation now? Are you a weirdo or a human?"

"Human." Kawakami Tomie answered very straightforwardly: "I am indeed 100% human, but I can't have children."

"Not weird anymore?"

"No, I'm human."

"Then... shall I check it?"

"Master~~"

Facts have proved that Kawakami Tomie is now a real human being, and very moist. Chen Xi is very satisfied and feels that he deserved to be held back before, as he didn't know how to eat such a beautiful woman at home.

Speaking of Henrun, there was a hospital on the street behind Chen Xi's house. There was a little loli who had not grown up in the hospital. She was Zhang Yan, who was later called Henrun by Ding Xiu.

After Tomie Kawakami was able to stay with him in the bed, Chen Xi's life became even more prosperous. All the accumulated anger was released, and he no longer had to worry about pregnancy issues. It was great.

When Shen Lian and others came to his house to look for him, Kawakami Tomie hid in his shadow so that others could not see her.

Time passed quickly, and three months passed. The madam sent Zhou Miaoxuan here. At this time, she was still a little girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, but she was obviously a beauty.

Zhou Miaoxuan was a little nervous after coming here suddenly and facing the notorious Jinyiwei.

"Okay, relax, I won't do anything to you." Chen Xi finished speaking and added: "Not for now."

Zhou Miaoxuan: (＞﹏

"You will live here with me from now on. You have to be self-reliant. Don't expect anyone to serve you."

"Yes, I understand."

"I'll go buy some daily necessities later. By the way, can you cook?"

Zhou Miaoxuan showed an awkward smile. She was born into a wealthy family and was later trained as a skinny girl. She knew the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she was useless in life skills.

"If you don't know how to do it, then learn it. I don't want to keep idle people here."

"...yes."

"I don't have too many requirements here. You can do whatever you want, but you are not allowed to go out, otherwise you will be kidnapped."

"Don't worry, sir. I won't go out." Zhou Miaoxuan agreed readily. She was also afraid of being abducted again.

"Don't call me Master anymore. I'm old enough. Call me Young Master from now on."

"Yes, son."

Zhou Miaoxuan also saw Kawakami Tomie and was immediately stunned by her beauty. She had never expected that her son, who was just a small captain of the Jinyiwei, actually had such a beautiful woman hidden in his golden house.

As a woman of skinny family background, Zhou Miaoxuan instinctively realized the sensation that Kawakami Tomie could cause. As long as she was willing, she would be the most beautiful woman in the capital.

Unsure of the relationship between Kawakami Tomie and the young master, Zhou Miaoxuan greeted them obediently and kept his status low.

Kawakami Tomie was confused. How could she understand these ancient rules? She turned to look at Chen Xi: "What is she doing?"

Now it was Zhou Miaoxuan's turn to be confused. What did she say?

"It's ancient etiquette. It's a greeting to you."

"Oh, what a nuisance."

Listening to the conversation between the young master and Kawakami Tomie, she felt a little familiar, it seemed to be Japanese?

Is our own son a Japanese pirate?

Zhou Miaoxuan took a breath, fearing that he would be silenced. This was a big secret.

"Bounce~"

Chen Xi was so confused by Zhou Miaoxuan's words that he said angrily, "What are you thinking about? I saved her. I am a Ming person."

"Then...sir, how come you can speak Japanese?" Zhou Miaoxuan asked in a low voice.

"I learned it from her."

A big question mark popped up in Zhou Miaoxuan’s head. Was this wrong?

Shouldn't the Japanese girl learn the Ming language from the young master?

"Alright, stop asking so many questions. She has no identity in the Ming Dynasty and she won't go out. Just pretend she doesn't exist."

"Oh."

"And you, if you have nothing to do, teach her the Ming language."

"...yes."

Chen Xi was also feeling fortunate that this was a movie world where everyone spoke Mandarin, and Kawakami Tomie could use what she had learned. If this was a historical world, who knows where the dialect she would have learned would have been.

That night, the family of three ate Japanese food prepared by Kawakami Tomie. There was no other way, Chen Xi couldn't cook, and Zhou Miaoxuan was even less reliable.

Chen Xi was extremely satisfied with the reward from the ghost servant. He could do housework, cook, and even sleep with him at night. This reward... was so good.

In contrast to Tomie Kawakami, he now looks at Zhou Miaoxuan with a hint of disdain. Tell me, what else can you do?

Zhou Miaoxuan: (＃￣～￣＃)

Zhou Miaoxuan is proficient in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is best at painting. However, Chen Xi is not very interested in it. He only wants to learn skills that are useful to him. Currently, he is mainly focusing on calligraphy and painting skills, and will learn them when he has extra time and energy in the future.

He simply gave up on playing the piano. Chen Xi was tone-deaf, so what was the point of learning music?

Forget about Go, he has no interest in it. The best he can do is play Gobang.
