Red Dust Daqian

Chapter 143 Being Controlled

Zhou Sen chased, Miao Yancui ran, and he circled around a big table but couldn't touch Miao Yancui. Zhou Sen was depressed. How could Miao Yancui, who seemed weak and innocent, be so agile at this moment? She turned back and flirted with Zhou Sen from time to time while running away. For Zhou Sen, that seductive look was not a reward, but a humiliation, a humiliation for Zhou Sen's incompetence and inability to deal with Miao Yancui.

Zhou Sen underestimated Miao Yancui. Miao Yancui was really good at it, which made Zhou Sen unable to stop.

A worker from a firecracker workshop passed by the door. Zhou Sen and Miao Yancui seemed to have telepathy and stopped chasing him instantly, pretending to discuss business.

Business, what is business?

Miao Yancui said proudly: "The master gave me the formula for the powerful firecrackers. Not only that, he also explained to me in detail the function and performance of each ingredient. In addition, my master has hidden many other formulas and plans to teach them to me."

Zhou Sen was also very happy to hear the news and immediately forgave Miao Yancui for her teasing. Zhou Sen wanted Miao Yancui to take out the formula for him to take a look.

Unexpectedly, Miao Yancui shook her head and said, "The old man specifically told me that I can't give you the formula now. He has forced me to swear: Only after you and I become a real couple can I hand over the complete formula to you. This is the dowry the old man left for me." Miao Yancui said this, and her heart was quite touched. It seemed that Old Man Yu really cared about Miao Yancui. In order to prevent Miao Yancui from being bullied in the future and to let Miao Yancui have skills, he did not hesitate to teach Miao Yancui the formula of his fortune that he was going to use in exchange for his son.

Zhou Sen was also quite emotional. Old Man Yu was a man of true temperament. Zhou Sen was not as good as Old Man Yu in dealing with Miao Yancui at this stage. Thinking of these, the lust in his heart slowly died down, and he turned to respect for the old man.

Miao Yancui wiped the tears from her eyes, and then pretended to be calm and said to Zhou Sen: "I came here today for no other reason than to inform you that this gunpowder workshop has been requisitioned by me for the time being. In the next period of time, my master will teach me to study gunpowder here. He will teach me all the gunpowder knowledge he knows before he dies. Please respect me today!"

Zhou Sen was extremely embarrassed. He didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly. He had just asked Old Man Yu to respect him a few days ago, but today he was respected by Miao Yancui. Although Zhou Sen was unwilling, he could only give up and agree to Miao Yancui's request.

But Zhou Sen finally made a request. He hoped to use part of the previous prediction to produce the powerful firecrackers that Old Man Yu demonstrated.

Miao Yancui said with a wicked smile: "Master Zhang, did you understand what I just said? The formula is the dowry given to me by old man Yu. It will only be given to you when you and I become a real couple. Are you so impatient? My old man is still alive and well."

Zhou Sen looked embarrassed and explained awkwardly: "Yan Cui, you misunderstood. I am not asking you for the formula, I just want you to make some powerful firecrackers first, in case of emergency. I will definitely not spy on the formula of powerful firecrackers."

Miao Yancui teased, "Then please trouble me, Taoist Zhang, to beg me. If I am happy, I might agree to your request."

Oh my god, Zhou Sen admitted that he was no match for Miao Yancui and would be controlled by this young woman in the future. Zhou Sen had no choice but to force a bitter smile and admit his fault to Miao Yancui, begging for forgiveness, begging for her to agree and let him go.

Miao Yancui looked at Zhou Sen's embarrassment and said disdainfully: "Your expression is too ugly. No need to beg. Just agree to one condition of mine."

Seeing Miao Yancui let him go, Zhou Sen hurriedly agreed: "Okay, don't mention one condition, a hundred conditions are fine."

Miao Yancui replied directly: "Okay, then one hundred. A gentleman's word is as good as gold!"

At this moment, Zhou Sen really wanted to slap himself twice. Men should not make promises blindly, otherwise they might die one day without knowing how they died.

Seeing Zhou Sen's expression of despair, Miao Yancui felt so proud at the moment. Miao Yancui said with a victorious attitude: "If you agree to one condition today, I will agree to help you make some powerful firecrackers first."

Zhou Sen had a sad face and nodded to ask Miao Yancui to propose conditions. Miao Yancui shook Zhou Sen's arm and said, "Don't be sad. It's not difficult to be happy. Qianmu Hall is a little far from the firecracker workshop. I know you can't visit the firecracker workshop every day. But you have to promise me that as long as you are still in Jiangxia Prefecture, you will visit me at least once a month, no, four times a month, how about it?"

How? Of course he agreed. Not to mention the dynamite, Miao Yancui had already got Zhou Sen in her hands. Zhou Sen couldn't stop lusting after Miao Yancui. He wished he could sleep with her right now and press her down on the workbench.

Zhou Sen wanted to do something wrong, but he was once again rejected by Miao Yancui.

Just after having lunch with Miao Yancui, Miao Yancui began to urge Zhou Sen to pack up and hand over the flame studio. It is better to hurry up, because from this afternoon, Old Man Yu will move into the studio and start teaching Miao Yancui about gunpowder.

After packing his luggage, Zhou Sen said goodbye to Miao Yancui and Old Man Yu. Although he agreed to give the formula of the powerful explosive to Miao Yancui, Old Man Yu was still unwilling and quite dissatisfied with Zhou Sen. His "dream of having a son" was shattered. However, his concubine only liked Zhou Sen, who was good-looking but useless.

After being away for a few days, when I came back, Shuimu Hall had completely changed its appearance. It was no longer possible to tell that it was once a smoky casino. The spacious and grand street-side shops were used to sell alcohol, the elegant attics were used to drink and taste tea, the courtyards were filled with small bridges and flowing water, the bottomless warehouses were used to store alcohol, and there was also a space reserved for distilled alcoholic beverage equipment.

Everything was so reasonable and orderly. I didn't expect Li Ning'er's organizational planning ability to be so strong and thorough. Zhou Sen gave Li Ning'er a thumbs up and admired her.

However, based on the existing decoration standards, Zhou Sen had reason to suspect that Li Ning'er had secretly added money.

Li Ning'er said nonchalantly: "This will be my home in Jiangxia Prefecture from now on. I will be living here for quite some time, so of course I have to decorate it in a comfortable way. Don't you have confidence in 'Shui Mu Xian Niang'? Do you think we can't continue?"

Zhou Sen is not a pretentious person. He just added some more money for decoration. As long as Li Ning'er is happy, it's fine. Besides, it's not Qianmutang's money that is used, so it won't put pressure on Xiangmu Society.

Zhou Sen did not reprimand Li Ning'er, but just asked Li Ning'er to keep a good account and return the money after Shuimutang opened for business. Finally, Zhou Sen persuaded Li Ning'er earnestly: After all, business is to make money, and you can't always put in money yourself.
