Can a general do whatever he wants?

Jiangnan.

The rain in the south of the Yangtze River is always more than usual, and it is full of summer and spring.Jiangnan in the [-]s, as a member of the coastal treaty port, gathered all kinds of new factories and capitalism.Quanzhou, a small treasure land in the south of the Yangtze River, also has this slender stream of water interspersed with the ordinary houses with horse-headed walls and high tiles in other places.

Local wedding customs are also related to water.As the saying goes, living by water comes from water, and the three major events in human life, birth, marriage, and death are all related to water.

At the time of birth, the local elders would fetch a drop of the clearest water and drop it on the baby's head.When getting married, the newlyweds will specially prepare a small boat to row from one side of the long stream to the other.At the time of death, the mourners hold a willow branch, and the willow branch is stained with water and sprinkled into the air to wash away the filth of the deceased's life.

Chen Ming was born in the southernmost mountain in the south of the Yangtze River. He has lived on medicine for generations. The miracle doctor who is called "walking medicine" by the world is his father.However, there are people who cannot be saved even by a genius doctor. The first person who cannot be saved is the wife who died because of giving birth to Chen Ming, and the second person who cannot be saved is the person who was deliberately framed.

The world is dangerous, and doctors cannot save people.

That was when Chen Ming was 13 years old. His father was dragged to the guillotine to end his life because he failed to save a certain rich man's compound. Because Chen Ming had been living in a warehouse for many years and escaped disaster, he had a bumpy journey. To Jiangnan·Quanzhou.

Quanzhou was different from the environment he lived in. There was a lot of traffic, and the passers-by were all wearing new and old clothes, at least much more intact than the tattered clothes he was wearing.In the eyes of others, Chen Ming is now more like a little beggar wandering on the street.

Chen Ming was so hungry, the half of the steamed buns he had picked up were as hard as stones and he couldn't eat them at all.

Sitting on the side of Qingshiban Street, he took out half a piece of steamed bun in his arms and whispered quietly, hoping to drop some steamed bun crumbs to feed his stomach.

This was effective, Chen Ming hurriedly picked up the bread crumbs on the ground and put them into his mouth bit by bit.

"What a poor doll."

Hua Si lowered her head, staring at the boy squatting on the ground sympathetically in her mournful eyes, "Can I look up and show my brother?"

Are you talking to yourself?The moment Chen Ming raised his head, his pale amber eyes were filled with confusion.

"What beautiful eyes."

Looking into the boy's clear eyes, Hua Si knelt down and gently stroked his face.Such a big warm hand, Chen Ming was amazed by the tenderness of the man in front of him, but at the same time, he deliberately rubbed an inch towards his palm like nostalgia.

The young man's approach made Hua Si feel relieved. It seemed that he was not a difficult child. He tried to seduce Chen Ming: "Do you want to live with your brother?"

"Have you eaten?"

Chen Ming, who lives alone, has not had enough food for some time, even the fat his father gave him. He thought it was greasy at first, but now he can't eat it, so he realizes how happy it is to have food.Without hesitation, Chen Ming nodded immediately, for fear that the man in front of him would regret it.

The man didn't dislike the dirty little boy in front of him, he gently took his hand and led him down the wet bluestone street.

Just after spring, the rain in the south of the Yangtze River became more frequent, and there was an inescapable sense of humidity in the air.

This is the sky of Jiangnan, and it is also the sky of Chen Ming.

Huasi took Chen Ming to the busiest service street in Quanzhou. Occasionally, Chen Ming saw faces different from those of the Chinese people. Those people were blond, blue-eyed, tall, with deep facial features, and they were very strong.

"Those are from foreign countries, you don't have to worry about them, just follow me."

Hua Si dragged him to a different and exquisite large attic. There were all kinds of people bustling beside the tall wooden building, and among them were gorgeously dressed men beckoning and pulling the passing men and women into the attic.

What a lively place.Am I going to live here too?

"Come on, let's go in from the back."

Hua Si pointed to the path leading to the backyard of the attic and dragged Chen Ming around to enter the pity hall.

The boy was thirteen or fourteen years old, his body was thin, his face was still intact, and he was so immature that it was hard to tell whether it was a boy or a girl.

This kind of baby is the most favorite of customers.

Hua Si looked at Chen Ming who had put on exquisite clothes, her eyes were full of love and joy.Today I really picked up a treasure for nothing.

"I thought you were good-looking when I first saw you on the street. No, it's just as I guessed when you put on new clothes. You look great."

As she said that, Hua Si pinched his little face, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet other brothers."

At this time, Chen Ming didn't know whether the kind-hearted man who suddenly brought him food and clothing was really good or fake. He was naive and cheerfully followed Hua Si to pay homage to other men who had met in the Lianguan.

The people here are really good-looking, even ordinary-looking people have a different style under the delicate makeup.

"Hey, is this the new baby? It's so beautiful."

"Yes, yes, it's pretty. If only I had a younger brother like that."

"No, you have it now, just let this doll call you brother."

The men with exquisite makeup surrounded Chen Ming, and they wandered around chatting beside Chen Ming. Chen Ming didn't feel noisy, but just pulled his clothes shyly and bowed his head shyly.

"Yo, you're still shy. Tell brother, what's your name?"

One of the men raised Chen Ming's face, and Shan Feng couldn't hide the joy in his evil eyes, "Brother will give you something to eat."

"My name is Chen Ming..."

"Chen Ming? It's interesting that your surname is Chen."

"What's wrong with the surname Chen?"

Hua Si hugged the shy Chen Ming and held him in his arms for fear of being eaten by the bastard man in front of him, "Also, don't be tempted when you see one, go take care of your customers."

"Hmph. Isn't the Jiangnan Manufacturing House surnamed Chen?"

The man with phoenix eyes raised his eyebrows and was slightly dissatisfied, "I'm annoyed by that fat woman, so I want to go to you."

Hua Si's face was gloomy with displeasure, and she said to another young man standing aside watching the fun, "Hua Yue, you go."

Huayue was really shot while lying down, every time Hanaya didn't want to go, she let herself go, hey, what kind of life am I: "Okay, okay, I'm going."

"I'll take Chen Ming down first, and you guys go to work for me. Come here, Huawu."

Huasi is now the eldest brother of the Lianguan, and everyone except Huawu basically listens to him.After receiving the order, everyone sighed and dispersed, and Huawu followed Huasi upstairs.

"Why did you call me here?"

Hua Si poured him a glass of water, and said earnestly, "How can we be so self-willed in our business, don't just rely on your good looks to be a rascal, you are worthless when you are old, and you need the popularity you usually accumulate."

Hanaya sneered that she couldn't hear Huasi's remonstrance at all.

"I'll kill myself when I'm old, so there's no such thing as worthless."

"What did you say!"

Hanaya's arrogance made Hua Si angrily shake off the teacup with her fingers, and the sound of the teacup falling to the ground made Chen Mingxia, who was standing beside her, utter a sound.

Only then did Hua Si realize how inappropriate his actions just now were.
