Chapter 36 fourth quarter

Mayor Feng said: "Yes, yes, or I can forget about Zhang Xian, and I will find someone else." Duan Shizhang said impatiently: "Go back first, go back, Steward Liu, see off the guests!" After Mayor Feng left, Duan Shizhang sat back on the dragon and tiger chair with some worries, secretly smiled, and said to himself: "This Feng Congwen, a ghost, is quite good at telling me, let me say it myself Bring out Zhang Xian. Alas! It’s hard, it’s hard.” Steward Liu sent Mayor Feng away, and he also felt that something was wrong, so he hurried back to see Duan Shizhang. Duan Shizhang saw that it was Steward Liu who came, and the two stayed in the room to discuss secretly. Steward Liu even said something that made Duan Shizhang's heart skip a beat. Naturally, he discovered some subtle relationships between Liu Yin and Zhang Xian.The two men finished their discussion, and planned to test how Liu Yin would react to Zhang Xian's going to England.

In the blink of an eye, it was Duan Shizhang's dinner time. Duan Shizhang eats breakfast, lunch and dinner, basically accompanied by his wives.Duan Shizhang's main wife was bedridden all year round, half dead, almost unable to leave his bed, almost like a living dead.So those who accompanied Duan Shizhang to dinner were the second wife Wang Yiting, the third wife Chen Ziyan and the fourth wife Liu Yin. Steward Liu and a few servant girls waited aside, so there was no need to elaborate. Liu Yin is the most favored by Duan Shizhang, sitting on his right, and Chen Ziyan and Wang Yiting on his left.It stands to reason that a rich man like Duan Shizhang should have a very ostentatious meal, but in reality it is very simple, seven dishes and one soup, a few plates of appetizers, and a few plates of small snacks are all. The fragrance is complete.

Duan Shizhang was very thoughtful, holding his chopsticks and couldn't finish eating for a long time. Seeing that Duan Shizhang was thinking, the third wife Chen Ziyan put a bowl of ginseng soup in front of Duan Shizhang, and said sweetly: "Master, let's drink a bowl of soup, this is me. I specially told the cook to make it according to a recipe I learned, and the Korean ginseng is the best, master, how do you taste it?" Duan Shizhang responded, and instead of picking it up to taste immediately, he turned his head to look at Liu Yin, and said with a smile: "Liu Yin, I don't think you have much appetite?"

Chen Ziyan was so jealous that he avoided Duan Shizhang and quickly glanced at Liu Yin, then rolled his eyes with displeasure on his face. Liu Yin saw Chen Ziyan's sly look, she was expressionless, and just answered Duan Shizhang: "Master, I eat less, it's not because I have a bad appetite." Duan Shizhang picked up some vegetables with chopsticks, put them in Liu Yin's bowl, and said, "Come, eat more." Liu Yin gave a low hum, lowered her head and ate slowly. Chen Ziyan was still not reconciled, so she picked up a chopstick dish, put it in Duan Shizhang's bowl, and said coquettishly: "Master, you patronize others, you should pay attention to your own body. Some people don't care about the master, but they still pretend to be Are you waiting for the master to serve you personally?"

Liu Yin put down her chopsticks and said coldly: "The third wife taught me the right thing." Duan Shizhang was a little impatient, turned his head and cursed at Chen Ziyan: "Why are you joining in the fun? Yours!" Chen Ziyan hid in fright, and did not dare to reply, but still gave Liu Yin a hard look. Duan Shizhang snorted, took a sip of the ginseng soup, Chen Ziyan immediately put on a smile on his face, and asked softly: "Master, is it delicious?" Duan Shizhang replied: "Not bad, Ziyan, you have a heart." Chen Ziyan smiled, and winked at Liu Yin, very proud.

Duan Shizhang understands that Chen Ziyan and Liu Yin have never dealt with each other. Chen Ziyan always competes for favor in front of Liu Yin. It is not surprising that he is too lazy to get involved in the struggle between women, so Duan Shizhang finished his ginseng soup before turning his head and saying to Liu Yin : "Liu Yin, I want to ask you something." Liu Yin put down her chopsticks and replied, "Excuse me, Master." "Look at that Zhang Xian's magic trick recently, how do you like it?" "It's pretty good. I watched seven or eight games, and none of them were serious. This man named Zhang Xian is indeed a strange person."

"Oh! Liu Yin, since you say so, Zhang Xian's magic tricks must be really good!" "Master, do you have something to do?" Liu Yin still spoke coldly. "Hehe, Liu Yin, do you like Zhang Xian's magic? If you don't see it for a while, you won't be unhappy, right? Liu Yin smiled lightly, and said: "It's not about whether you like it or not, it's just that it can relieve boredom. If the master has other arrangements for Zhang Xian, don't worry about me." Duan Shizhang laughed a few times, and said, "Liu Yin, I want to send Zhang Xian to England to participate in a competition in the World Magic Convention. Don't we have nothing to watch in the past six months? So, Liu Yin, do you think we should let him go? I'll see what you mean."

Liu Yin said coldly: "Master, if he is willing to go, you can let him go. To win glory for the country, and to come back with a foreigner's award, it can be regarded as a gold medal for the master. His magic tricks, I think It doesn’t matter whether you don’t look at it or not, everything is up to the master.” Duan Shizhang smiled and said: "Okay! That's good! Liu Yin, but you won't let me into your house again, will you? Liu Yin said: "Master, if you want to come, come early." Duan Shizhang had a big appetite, so he didn't talk about this topic anymore, and just ate with his head down.

The third wife, Chen Ziyan, was so jealous that she almost wanted to pounce on and eat Liu Yin in one bite, only to be happy when she tore it open. Liu Yin glanced at Chen Ziyan contemptuously, and ignored her at all.The more Liu Yin is like this, the more Chen Ziyan hates her, but Duan Shizhang loves Liu Yin, what can she do? After Duan Shizhang finished his dinner, Liu Yin and others left to rest.The third wife, Chen Ziyan, came to Duan Shizhang's room and lit a big cigarette for Duan Shizhang. While filling the cigarette soil, Chen Ziyan resentfully looked at Duan Shizhang who was lying on the side smoking, and said sourly: "Master, you are really a good person."

Duan Shizhang snorted, "Zi Yan, you want to speak ill of Liu Yin again? Save yourself, don't make me unhappy." Chen Ziyan used to be the owner of a brothel, who would not shed tears when he saw the coffin, but he still said jealously: "Master, I just feel wronged. Do you need to ask other people's permission for what you want to do? You are too kind to some people." , I really feel sorry for you." Duan Shizhang laughed and said, "Zi Yan, have you learned to be smart? Can you talk around?" Chen Ziyan said delicately: "Master, look at what you said, what I said is from the bottom of my heart."

Duan Shizhang waved his hand and said, "Go back, go back, you don't have anything to do here, and Steward Liu and I still have something to talk about." Chen Ziyan said coquettishly: "Master, let me accompany you tonight, I really want to sleep with you..." Duan Shizhang clicked his tongue, and said impatiently: "Go, go, I'll find you someday when I'm free." Chen Ziyan refused to give up, and said softly: "Master, you always go to Liu Yin's place, I will serve you when Liu Yin is there." "What the hell are you talking about!" Duan Shizhang stared, showing a fierce look. Chen Ziyan knew that if she dared to pester her, she would definitely not be able to get any favors. She hurriedly answered yes, climbed out of bed, and exited the house.
