Chapter 245 Rourou "Works Like a Horse"

The play on the stage was still going on, but the people in the audience had already left.

Holding a string of candied haws, Tan Wenjie joined the crowd to watch the fire-breathing jugglers on the street.

The hawthorn was wrapped in a thin layer of sugar coating, which made a crisp sound when bitten. The sweet and sour taste made him feel happy.

The wandering man had oil in his mouth, held a torch in his right hand, walked around, and suddenly opened his mouth and sprayed oil into the sky.

Flames billowed into the sky.

"Good!" The crowd cheered noisily, some people clapped, and some threw money in.

Tan Wenjie clapped his hands while biting a candied haws, then threw a dollar and turned away.

Because of the Tan family, the nearby villages and towns lived a prosperous life, and starvation to death was a rare occurrence. After all, Mr. Tan was blessed by three gods of wealth, and his business covered the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the nearby people.

It is no exaggeration to say that people here may not know who the president is, but they must know who Tan Wenjie is.

"Wenjie!"

The only one who can call him that is...

"Tingting!"

Ren Tingting was wearing a floral jacket and pants of the same color. She had a fishbone braid tied around her head.

She is completely different from the time when she wore a dress and showed off her pearl necklace. She looks like a housewife.

"Where did you go just now?" Tan Wenjie didn't ask her why she didn't bring her maid with her.

When he was in Renjia Town, Ren Tingting didn't like to bring a maid with him. But in Tanjia Town, even ghosts didn't dare to provoke him.

"Go to the foreign goods shop. I heard that a new batch of rouge and powder has arrived." Ren Tingting moved closer to him.

Tan Wenjie reached out and grasped her hand in his palm.

"is there anything you like?"

"No." She lowered her voice, "Someone is watching."

“They’ll pretend not to see it.”

He is very good at falling in love. After all, he is a pure love warrior. When he is alone with every woman, he can wholeheartedly think about the person in front of him.

There is no one more innocent than him.

Stopping in front of a roadside stall, Ren Tingting picked up a butterfly hairpin and put it on her head, showing it with her face sideways.

"what do you think?"

"It looks good, but..."

Tan Wenjie picked up a necklace.

"I think you'd be better suited to a necklace."

"Really?" Ren Tingting didn't understand the hidden meaning in Tan Wenjie's words, so she put down the hairpin and picked up the necklace.

Wearing it around her neck she asked, "How is it?"

Tan Wenjie gave a thumbs up: "Prettier than a fairy."

"Hateful." Her cheeks turned slightly red, and then she suddenly found that her vision went dark, her body was gently pulled, and she subconsciously moved forward.

The cheek suddenly came to within a fist's distance of Tan Wenjie's chest.

"Wenjie, wait!" She was startled.

She knew how powerful Tan Wenjie was when he was alone, and this was a busy street.

Suddenly she felt her hair weigh slightly.

"Turn around and let me see." came Tan Wenjie's voice.

Ren Tingting subconsciously touched her hair and found the butterfly hairpin.

"How is it?" she asked with red cheeks and a layer of mist in her eyes.

"A fairy descended to earth."

"I don't believe it!" She turned her head to the side, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Before she got married, her father had told her a lot, such as the competition for favor in the Tan family, the way to survive in a large mansion, etc., and she had always been very reserved.

After seeing Bai Rourou in person, she knew that she could not compare to her in terms of figure. The difference was too great.

Not to mention Ao Ningshuang. At first, she thought that the other party didn't like Tan Wenjie, but she didn't expect that after getting married, she would pester Tan Wenjie every day. Not only that, she would nod and agree seriously to whatever Tan Wenjie said. She was a perfect little follower.

Both of them were practitioners, but she was an ordinary person and had no intention of practicing.

Now that she had received emotional feedback from Tan Wenjie again, her heart was filled with joy.

Tan Wenjie bought a hairpin and a necklace and said, "They should be happy to wear them on you."

He has also learned a lot of sweet words to coax people. When it comes to providing emotional value, Tan Wenjie is no worse than anyone else, but he just doesn't want to use them most of the time. He is handsome and rich, so why should he coax others?

He was in a really good mood today, and the person in front of him was his wife, so it was nice to have a relationship.

I've decided that I will let Bai Rourou coax me when I get back. Emotions need to circulate and maintain balance.

Female competitive athlete Bai Cha Cha must be feeling really bad for herself.

……

"Master, you must be tired from shopping with Tingting today."

Bai Rourou sorted out Tan Wenjie's clothes, took them off and gave them to Jingjing to take out and give to the servants to wash.

Then he walked to Tan Wenjie and gently massaged his shoulders.

With his head resting on two huge soft cushions, Tan Wenjie gently turned his head to find a comfortable position for the back of his head, and closed his eyes to feel Bai Rourou's massage.

The advantage of being with Bai Cha Cha is that she is praised and talked to, and you don't have to worry about her getting unhappy for no reason because of "saying the wrong thing". For example, Ao Ningshuang didn't say anything after she knew that Tan Wenjie and Ren Tingting had been shopping together for a long time and bought a lot of things, but her mouth was already full of anger.

Only Bai Cha Cha would worry whether he would be tired after shopping with other women.

This is not Cha Cha, this is a good sister.

Tan Wenjie spoke softly, while Bai Rourou offered advice on the side, which was extremely considerate.

In life, it is very difficult to find a woman who shares the same ideas as you, whose emotions complement yours, who can fall in love with you and actively cater to you, who worships you like a little follower, and who will act a little cute with you to add some interest.

If you add other requirements like hot body, youthful figure, long legs, petite body, etc., it is impossible to satisfy them except marrying Monkey Brother.

But Tan Wenjie is not a greedy person, he can find a wife with one condition.

Even though he is so rich and powerful, he only has three wives. People always say that Mr. Tan is very career-oriented.

He didn't rent out a residential complex and keep more than a hundred lovers together.

"Aren't you staying tonight?" Bai Rourou changed into the cheongsam that Tan Wenjie liked very much.

As he said this, he looked at Tan Wenjie with affectionate eyes.

“I’m such an unsteady person.”

Tingting had agreed to show me her newly bought necklace tonight, but I didn't expect to be dragged here.

The little white leg hooked around Tan Wenjie's waist: "Master, the sisters won't blame me for holding you here, right?"

"That depends on whether you are capable enough."

Currently, the only one who can withstand his bombardment is Bai Rourou.

"It's so scary. My heart is pounding. If you don't believe me, just look."

"How do you know I know medicine?" Tan Wenjie pinched his pulse very seriously and checked it carefully, his expression becoming more and more serious.

"Poisoned!" he said seriously.

Bai Rourou's cheeks flushed with "fear": "What should I do?"

His eyes were tearful and his breathing was rapid.

"I'm going to help you suck out the poison."

Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. He is destined to become a saint tonight.

"Thank you for saving my life, sir. I have no way to repay you, but I am willing to give myself to you."

"It's better to be a cow and a horse."

"Ah?" Bai Rourou still hadn't kept up with Tan Wenjie's pace.

"Master?" Bai Rourou turned around and looked at Tan Wenjie behind her in confusion.

Tan Wenjie didn't make any move.

"Of course the cows and horses have to do their own work."

"Yes~"

It's not easy to be a slave.

Finally, Tan Wenjie entered the realm of saint.

He was thinking about cultivation. Romance is ultimately a minor thing. Only immortality and immortality are what he should pursue. If he had taken time out to cultivate, he might have already... No, his talent for cultivation was very average.

Is he able to get to where he is today because he knows how to practice? Of course not, it’s because he has cheated.

It is such a waste that I cannot use my mind to think about something when it is clear. I strongly condemn myself in my heart.

The door opened, and Jingjing came in with a basin of hot water with a red face. Bai Rourou did not make things difficult for her. She let her put down the basin and leave, while she helped Tan Wenjie clean up the battlefield.

"Rou Rou, how's your training going recently?"

"You still have to focus on cultivation." Tan Wenjie said earnestly.

Bai Rourou couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Then I need to practice, don't disturb me here." As he said this, he helped Tan Wenjie change his clothes.

Leaving the room, Tan Wenjie looked at the moon.

"It still has to be my Bai Rourou."

Other women would definitely try every means to make him stay, and might even express their unhappiness. Only Bai Rourou used so-called practice to send Tan Wenjie away on her own initiative.

It seemed like he was rushing her, but in fact, he was making her busy in the second half. "Why is the courtyard of the Tan Mansion so big?"

The plan of sleeping together in the same quilt is too difficult to implement, even Bai Rourou would not agree to it so easily.

He has come out of the state of saintliness.

What's wrong with being lustful?

If he is not lustful, does not pretend to be cool, does not pursue the pleasure of revenge, and wants to cut off the seven emotions and six desires, why would he pursue becoming an immortal?

"Who is there?"

"Master, it's me."

"Are you Shanshan?" Tan Wenjie looked at the figure walking towards him hesitantly, "Why, are you lost?"

"I'll wait for you here." Shanshan lowered her head.

Although the Tan Mansion has electricity and the street lights are on at night, it is different at night than during the day, and it is difficult to be discovered if someone hides in the dark.

However, Tan Wenjie has a different vision. He can see things in the dark as if it were daytime, and can see Shanshan "hiding" on the side of the road.

"Wait for me, I just happen to be going to Tingting's place, let's go."

"Yes."

Shanshan's heart was pounding. After going out today, she was urged to find the treasure as soon as possible, as time waits for no one.

It's not like she hadn't been to the Tan mansion's treasury and saw that there was indeed a lot of money there, but it was far from what her brother wanted.

I was just about to go to the other side and unexpectedly ran into Tan Wenjie.

"How have you been feeling at home lately?" he suddenly asked.

Shanshan was one step behind Tan Wenjie, staring at his back and said respectfully, "Life in your mansion is very good, you eat well, dress well, and the work is not tiring."

"That's not the right answer."

"Ah?" Shanshan was surprised.

It turned out to be wrong to say good things about the mansion.

"You should say I am a little tired, but for the sake of the mansion and the master, I am willing to endure any hardship or fatigue."

Shanshan: “I…”

Why should I suffer for the sake of the mansion and the master?

Tan Wenjie said, "I paid you to work for me. You eat, drink and have fun every day. I feel so bad. As bosses, we can tolerate anything except you taking my money and having nothing to do."

"Master, you are joking."

"Then why don't you smile?"

Shanshan: “…”

Because it's not funny, you were just complaining that I was being lazy.

You'll kill the conversation.

"Shanshan, how many people are there in your family?" Tan Wenjie suddenly changed the subject.

Shanshan also breathed a sigh of relief.

If she has really worked as an employee, she should understand that if the boss cares about you, it means he has other intentions. Be wary of capitalists talking about feelings, as you will lose both the wife and the army.

"I have an older brother at home, and we have some small businesses, but they are all hard labor."

It's hard work for bandits and robbers to rob houses, she added in her mind.

"It's not easy." Tan Wenjie nodded, and then asked, "Your family is not poor, why do you want to be a maid?"

As long as they are not starving to death, no one wants their daughter to serve others.

Shanshan had prepared her speech in advance.

"Business is tough at home. My eldest brother wants to marry me to the stupid son of a rich family. His surname is Jiang and his family is in the bacon business. I heard that brides who marry that family don't live for more than a few days. Some people even say that they raise zombies. I've never seen their family buy a coffin."

"Raise zombies." Tan Wenjie nodded.

Mr. Tan also raises zombies, does he raise zombies to steal your glutinous rice?

This is occupational discrimination!

Besides, raising zombies is not a weird magic, it is a serious and proper method.

You have to fly around on swords to be called a good person, right? A bunch of appearance-conscious people. Although he is very handsome, he still chooses to stand among the common faces and even stands on the moral high ground to point fingers.

"Are you engaged?" asked Tan Wenjie.

"I did, but I escaped." Shanshan lowered her head with red eyes.

Her story was both true and false. The engagement was true, but the escape was false.

According to her eldest brother's plan, she would first go to the Tan family to make some money, and then marry into the Jiang family to make another fortune. The time plan was very reasonable.

"So, you are the new bride who was given a betrothal gift and a wedding gift by others?" Tan Wenjie stopped and turned to look at Shanshan.

"Yes..." Shanshan looked at Tan Wenjie with the eyes of a pitiful puppy, "Master, are you going to kick me out?"

She has also learned about Mr. Tan's working style during her recent stay at the Tan Mansion.

He has a clear bottom line and likes beautiful women. He is willing to lend a helping hand to them.

"Yeah, you don't think I want to keep you, do you?"

"Ah?" Shanshan was stunned.

Tan Wenjie raised his hand and shook his index finger: "We are in an employment relationship. I give you money and you work for me. Moreover, the first requirement for working in my Tan Mansion is that you have a clean background."

He pointed at Shanshan and said, "But you concealed the fact that you ran away from the marriage. Since you accepted the betrothal gifts from others, you should marry. If you don't want to marry, you should return everything to the other party. You ran away from the marriage without saying a word. You have no sense of contract at all. Now you pretend to be a victim and come to me for help. Let me ask you, what about the Jiang family? They didn't do anything, but they lost the money and ran away with their daughter-in-law."

"But I am powerless to resist. What else can I do except run away?" Shanshan expressed her true feelings.

She didn't want to steal the Tan family's money, nor did she want to marry the fool from the Jiang family, but she had no choice.

"What do you mean you have no choice? Haven't you already made your choice?"

The choice has been made: whether to harm the interests of others to complete his brother's task, or to disobey his brother's orders.

Tan Wenjie did not try to understand her. He just needed to know that his interests were violated and then fight back reasonably. Otherwise, every time he met an enemy, he would have to reflect on why the other party attacked him and whether there was any reason. Then he would not have to do anything.

You drew your sword to chop me, so it's reasonable for me to fight back and kill you.

Shanshan was stunned.

She felt that Tan Wenjie had seen through her.

"Your eldest brother is called Tang Long, and he owes someone a sum of money." Tan Wenjie said, "Some time ago, he sent people to inquire in the town, and then sent people to sneak into the Tan Mansion."

Shanshan looked shocked. Could it be that all their actions were exposed?
"You haven't been exposed." Tan Wenjie said, "Tang Long is very smart. No matter you or the other person he sent in, you have no connection with him on the surface. It's impossible to find out anything in a short time. But Tang Long is different. This group of people came into Tanjia Town with knives early this morning. Do you think I don't know?"

He pointed to the land under his feet and said, "This place is called Tanjia Town. Do you think it has anything to do with Tan Wenjie's Tan?"

The local gentry and businessmen did business with Tan Wenjie and made a lot of money together. No one would go against Tan Wenjie.

Only petty thieves like Tang Long would be so crazy as to mistakenly believe that their actions were secretive and flawless.

"I, then how do you know there is something wrong with me, sir?"

There is something wrong with Tang Long, but how did he expose himself?

Shanshan didn't understand.

Because you have an actor's face.

"I wonder if a man needs a reason?"

This is Tanjia Town, or the Tan Mansion. Tan Wenjie is the local tyrant. When he suspects someone of having problems, he doesn't need any evidence. There will be a large group of people who will help him find evidence, including the suspect himself.

Shanshan sat on the ground dejectedly.

She didn't think she could beat Tan Wenjie from the beginning, but she had to admit that deep down she thought her brother was more terrifying and that Tan Wenjie was easier to "bully."

"Pack up now. I'll send you to Jiang's house in two days."

"Thank you, sir." Shanshan stood up. This might be the best outcome.

The ending for my eldest brother probably won’t be very good.

So I really have to marry a fool? A fool is fine.

Tan Wenjie didn't care about Shanshan's condition. He hadn't taken action against Shanshan because he couldn't spare the time. There were many important matters after his master's death, and other things had to be put off until later.

Judging from the magic weapons he gained, it was worth it for him to postpone anything.

With Shanshan, Tang Long, and the Jiang family, it is completely certain that the story they are telling is "The Millennium Zombie King" or "The Great Era of Zombies".

There is a flying zombie inside.

Moreover, after formulating the plan to help his teacher become successful, he was a little short of money. The Jiang family's wealth was more than millions, and it was accumulated by countless generations.

There is no need for despicable means. It is enough as long as he can do business with the Jiang family. He can send Shanshan, the legally married wife, over there and then talk about business. As for whether the Jiang family still wants this wife at that time, it has nothing to do with him.

Tang Long is totally unimportant, a fool who can't even get a hot weapon.

It's the 20th century now. Even if you don't know magic, you should at least have a gun. All local gangs know that they should have a gun on their waist.

But Tang Long and others who entered the town didn't even have guns, let alone bows and crossbows. Each of them only had a knife.

Purely cannon fodder.

What’s important is the Taoist priest from the same sect of Maoshan. When he shows up, the flying zombie will be born.

He has stepped up his search for relevant information in the spiritual world, but it is difficult to get any information.

All mages have a common problem: they think they can do it.

Face is more important than life, and one can die for reputation.

Shi Jian may spoil his son, but if his reputation is involved, he will still kill his son first to clean up the mess and maintain his reputation and face.

When the people in the spiritual world saw Tan Wenjie inquiring about the news about the Ghost King, the Zombie King and the like, the first thing they thought of was not to sell the news for money, but to prepare to take action themselves. If they won, it would mean that they were stronger than Tan Wenjie.
