After walking out of the Governor General of Liangjiang, Chen Congyun's footsteps were heavy. It had only been one year since God gave this respectable old man (July 27, 1885). Chen Congyun sincerely prayed to God and gave this old man more time.

After meeting Zuo Zongtang, he returned to Shanghai without stopping. Chen Congyun moved into the Shanghai Bureau again. Time was also precious to Chen Congyun. The war in the southwest is imminent, and Chen Congyun needs to supervise production. Even if he makes one more gun and one more bullet, the soldiers on the front line can leave less blood.

In July 1884, the Shanghai Bureau reported good news. After introducing the assembly line, it installed 515 quick guns after leaving the factory that month, and then bored 100,000 bullets. Chen Congyun took advantage of the situation and introduced new rules and regulations, which increased the welfare of Chinese workers and greatly increased the enthusiasm of Chinese workers. At the end of the month, the court rewarded him, but there was no promotion, and he was rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver and a third-class light cavalry commander. Others were rewarded.

Li Hongzhang from Tianjin consciously used people properly and his face was a lot more graceful. He said he could not get any contribution from Cixi and Guangxu. After receiving the praise from the two palaces, he returned to Tianjin and said to Sheng Xuanhuai: "Shen Zigui is a talent, which is very useful, but he was a little stunned." After that, he laughed and didn't mention it. Then he sent a commendation telegram, and there was no further information. Chen Congyun was depressed for several days, and thought to himself, "Li Hongzhang, aren't you very rich? Later generations said that when you were the richest, your net worth was 40 million taels, just reward a few. I'm very poor now.

Li Hongzhang's benefits did not come out, but Shao Youlian found Chen Congyun in a thief and handed him a silver note and said, "This is a congratulations to my official and Nie Hui to move forward to his son."

Chen Congyun said in his heart: "Bad, this is the one you two are treacherous in purchasing and using money to block my mouth." Thinking of this in his heart, he still took the silver bills disrespectfully. In the future, he had to lead the team, the more silver you would be, the better.

The weather became hotter and the fire between China and France became stronger and stronger. The French drove all the warships to Fujian waters. Li Hongzhang was still singing praises for peace in the court. Chen Congyun knew the direction of history, but he was anxious and unable to do anything. He felt really depressed.

On this day, Chen Congyun was wearing a greasy work clothes and was supervising workers to put the produced guns into the warehouse. A worker came below and said, "Sir Shen, a guest is here to visit."

Chen Congyun briefly explained, hurriedly came out to see the guests, and when he saw Sheng Xuanhuai's familiar figure standing downstairs from afar, he couldn't help but feel excited. Sheng Xuanhuai's kindness is as heavy as a mountain.

"Brother!" Chen Congyun waved his hand from afar, and accelerated his feet.

"Brother of the Son!" Sheng Xuanhuai was also excited and came up. Regardless of the greasy hands of Chen Congyun, the two of them clasped their hands tightly together.

After some excitement, Sheng Xuanhuai looked at the greasy skin on his hands and couldn't help laughing loudly.

The factory was naturally not the place where guests were served. Chen Congyun led Sheng Xuanhuai back to the rental house where he had only stayed for one night. Unexpectedly, Sheng Xiaoqi stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no response inside the door for a long time.

In a fit of anger, Sheng Xiaoqi slapped his hands red. Then he heard someone shouting inside, "Old Ding, are you knocking on the door like this? Do you think you are opening the door?"

Old Ding, the old man guarding the door.

Chen Congyun heard that Qingxian was talking inside, and couldn't help but smile bitterly at Sheng Xuanhuai beside him. Sheng Xuanhuai suppressed his smile and pointed at Chen Congyun and said, "Zi Gui, Zi Gui, what's the best thing to say to me? The errand of the Lord Zhongtang is important, you can't not go home for more than a month, right? You said, can these two girls be angry? Put some effort to comfort me at night."

The door opened, revealing Qingxian's little head. When he saw that Chen Congyun was standing at the door, he immediately raised his mouth and was about to say something with aggrieved look on his face, but when he saw Sheng Xuanhuai behind Chen Congyun, he immediately saw his mother's family, tears came out, and he came forward with a choked voice and knelt down and said, "Master, you should take us sisters back."

Sheng Xuanhuai didn't expect that there would be another incident. He didn't know what to do for a moment. He was stunned for a moment and said with a stern face: "Is there any rules to be rude?"

At this time, Yu Ping, who heard the movement, also came out from inside. Seeing Chen Congyun and Sheng Xuanhuai standing outside, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Qingxian up and said good fortune to the two of them together. Yu Ping said pitifully: "I have seen two masters and I have paid tribute to you."

Sheng Xuanhuai didn't know when he saw the situation, and then the two maids were still browsing. He knew where the problem was. He couldn't help but frowned and turned his head to see Chen Congyun didn't say it clearly.

"Okay, let's talk about it if you have something to do." Chen Congyun was a little embarrassed and quickly let Sheng Xuanhuai enter.

After entering the study room, they sat down separately. The two girls were serving their clothes and tea. They were about to leave, Sheng Xuanhuai shouted and said, "It's broad daylight, why do you keep the door closed? Others still think there is no one at home? Do you still understand the rules?"

Qingxian and Yuping knelt down when he heard this. Yuping whispered in aggrievedly: "Master, let me report the whole story."

"Speak! I can't tell you a reason. I want to ask for family law. Don't think that if you leave the Sheng family, I can't control you." Sheng Xuanhuai's voice and expression were both stern, but there was no murderous intent in his eyes. Chen Congyun knew at a glance that, yes, this was coming to me.

"The next day after I arrived in Shanghai, I moved to the bureau on the grounds of official business. Xiaoqi had to serve the master, and only our sisters and Lao Ding were left at home. It was inconvenient for us female family members to go out. On weekdays, Lao Ding went out to buy it. When Lao Ding went out, the door closed. Today, Lao Ding took a day off and said that he was going to the countryside to see his newborn grandson, so we approved him for a day off. This happened to the man who came back." Yu Ping spoke softly and explained, Sheng Xuanhuai's face became better. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go down."

After the two girls went down, Sheng Xuanhuai smiled bitterly and looked at Chen Congyun and said, "Zi Gui, where are you singing this? These two girls are still virgins, right?"

Chen Congyun knew that he couldn't leave this time, so if he didn't give an explanation, he might be afraid that Mrs. Sheng would come to the door and speak up for the two girls. After a few twists in his mind, he had an idea and sighed first, "Brother, you don't know anything."

"Tell me!" Sheng Xuanhuai showed off his brotherly style and looked very bad.

"I am not Liu Xiahui, a man from Lu, so why don't I know the Qingxian Yupin's thoughts? It's just that the Zhongtang people entrusted me with the important tasks. When I first took office, Lord Shao said that the left governor had coveted the Shanghai Bureau for a long time. Seeing this situation, I was worried and afraid that I would miss the Zhongtang's trust. After thinking about it, I would do something well, so that the Zhongtang's face would be bright and give my elder brother a long face. This is a helpless way to overcome this inferior strategy."

Chen Congyun said passionately. Sheng Xuanhuai thought about it carefully and thought about it carefully. He thought that Chen Congyun was not married yet. If he really had done things with Qingxian Yuping, with the ability of these two girls to serve men, Chen Congyun might have no intention of doing things.

Sheng Xuanhuai gradually smiled on his face and sighed softly: "In this way, I didn't think about my brother well at the time. After I arrived at the Shanghai Bureau, all the masters of the Zhongtang knew what I did. I felt that my brother was willing to live up to his trust and used his life, and repeatedly asked Shao Youlian to take good care of me."

As he said that, Sheng Xuanhuai took out two envelopes from his arms and gently pushed Chen Congyun.

"Brother, this is..."

"Look at it yourself!" Sheng Xuanhuai said with a smile.

Chen Congyun opened the first envelope while suspicious, and there was a house deed inside. After a closer look, it was the house deed of the house where he lives now.

"Brother! Is this..."

"It's just a little bit of my heart from the Lord of the Central Hall. I know that you are dedicated to your work and I will give you a private reward. In another envelope, it is a congratulations from my brother to pray for my brother's move. You should accept it too." Sheng Xuanhuai explained with a smile. Chen Congyun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "You devil, you are so good at being a human being. You have quietly become my landlord. This kind of favor is so generous. I gave you money last time, and this time I will give you a house. Next time, do you want to be an official?

Chen Congyun thought so, but he had to make a clean expression on his face. He pretended to turn his head and rubbed his eyes hard. He rubbed his eyes red with great difficulty. Then he turned around and said, "My Lord Zhongtang is caring for you, little brother..." As he said that, he was a little choked. Chen Congyun couldn't help but admire his acting skills. If he had known that his acting skills were so good, he would have gone to the film school before.

Sheng Xuanhuai patted Chen Congyun's shoulder and said earnestly: "My brother, you have seen your thoughts. The errand is also beautiful. The master of the Zhongtang is deeply relieved. However, the young brother is still too reckless, I have to say something to you for my brother."

"Brother, just say yes."

"You shouldn't confront the Zuo Man in court! This is like hitting someone's gun. No wonder the master of the central hall said that talent is talent, and he was just a little stunned." Sheng Xuanhuai said, narrowing his eyes and examining Chen Congyun's expression.
