17. Chapter 017

"It's so spirited, I wondered...... It's time for a stew......"

Xie Fu muttered, looked at Handsome for a long time, and waited for it to stop calling before he got up lazily, stood on the window in his cloak, his elbows rested on the edge of the window, and his fingers touched his cheeks.

Her skin is white and red, and the morning sun seems to be clear with dew, so it is really bright and beautiful.

Xi'er, who was passing from below with her clothes, saw it and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

"Xi'er."

Xie Fu called softly.

Xi'er came back to her senses and hurriedly bowed: "Girl, good morning." ”

Xie Fu couldn't help but smile on his face: "Good morning." Now that it's getting hot, you go back to the bookkeeper and get a few new curtains to put on. ”

"Yes, the slave and maid will go at once."

Xi'er squinted and smiled, bowed down and walked away with her clothes.

Full Moon went out and came in with something, and when he heard Xie Fu's instructions to Xi'er, he put down the tray he was holding in his hand: "You finally got up." Looking back, the girl's favorite bean-green window screen was changed, but it was really summer. ”

"It's almost summer......"

Xie Fu turned around and walked back slowly, with a bit of thought on his face.

She didn't speak, and Full Moon didn't know what she was thinking.

After waiting for Xie Fu to finish washing, she spoke: "The girl is still worried about the Xie family?" ”

"I'm worried about Yancheng." Xie Fu shook his head, "You go ahead and ask Xiao Nan in a while, calculate the time, it's almost time to have it." ”

It turned out to be over there.

Full Moon nodded knowingly: "The slave can save it." ”

This morning I used a bowl of red bean barley porridge, which looked pretty good, Xie Fu sat down to use the porridge, and the full moon ordered someone to serve Xie Fu, so he ran away and went to Xiaonan to get the news.

Coincidentally, Huo Xiaonan was called up early in the morning, and he had just gotten the letter from Yancheng, and the full moon came.

He handed the letter to Full Moon, and Full Moon brought it back to Xie Fu, and by the way, he also brought back an ear of news.

"You were so ruthless last night. Just now I passed through the garden, and I heard someone say that the master had punished Sister Zhen for a month's grounding and was not allowed to go out. ”

"That's miserable."

Xie Fu didn't have the slightest pity when he heard it, how could he call Gao Miaozhen a long memory?

What's more, it's just the beginning.

Xie Fu still remembered the slap on the face of the full moon, and he always had to find a chance to return it.

"Seeing that it was about to be the time for the nobles in the capital to move around, they were punished and grounded, and I am afraid that it will be suspended."

Today's Gao Miaozhen is almost at the age of leaving the cabinet, and the Da Ming Law woman is fifteen and twenty years old, and she can only get married, but most people start looking for girls as early as when they are in their teens.

Xie Fu didn't know who had already looked for her, but she knew that Gao Miaozhen was also looked down upon.

Now this grounding, I'm afraid that she will be depressed.

What's more important is the attitude of the high arch.

It's easy to be grounded like this, and whoever chooses her in the future can't weigh it, think about whether marrying her will be able to climb the high arch.

In fact, according to Xie Fu, a tall beard is a stinky temper and can't get up.

At the beginning, Xie Zongming married his only daughter-in-law, Gao, and he didn't see Xie Zongming have a smooth road in his career, on the contrary, he was confined to the small place of Huiji, and now he hasn't come out.

Unconsciously, thinking of her so-called "father" again, Xie Fu lowered his eyes.

"What about faith?"

Full Moon saw that her face lightened a lot, and she didn't know what she thought, so she didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly pulled the letter out of her sleeve.

"Xiao Nan said that he just sent it this morning, and he hasn't dismantled it yet."

"Hmm."

Xie Fu nodded slightly, took it and opened the letter, it was still a two-layer envelope, and when she took the letter out of it, she was in a good mood.

"Sure enough."

"Sure enough?" The full moon didn't get it.

Xie Fu stood up and paced, folding the letter again.

"That's right what I thought at the beginning, Chen Yuan was holding back the bad water from the beginning. When others arrive in the capital, presumably my silver will also arrive in the capital. ”

At the beginning, Xie Fu threw out more than 100,000 taels of silver, allowing Chen Yuan to get through the difficulties.

Now it's time for this one to reciprocate.

As for the loss of moves......

Then I have to mention that Chen Yuan made contributions to the squires in Yancheng before.

The money was given by Xie Fu, but Chen Yuan reported it to the imperial court, saying that it was the squires of Yancheng who were righteous and squandered money, sympathetic to the national disaster, and paid for disaster relief.

As a result, the imperial court issued an edict to commend the gentry of Yancheng Township for understanding the righteousness.

Now it's all right.

Chen Yuan carried the edict of the Son of Heaven, and directly compared it to the necks of this group of fat squires: Give money! If you don't give money, I'll sue the emperor, you turtle grandsons didn't pay a penny, but you received a reward from the court, it's a big crime to bully the king!

In fact, it was Chen Yuan who really committed the crime of bullying the king, and the squires had a clear heart, but how could they dare to say it?

First, who knows if Chen Yuan really colluded with which squire? What if there is a squire who donates money for disaster relief before?

Second, the court's commendations have come down, and you go out again to report that Chen Yuan lied, we actually didn't have a copper plate, and the court didn't send people down to arrest them all and slaughter them and feed them to the victims, that's strange!

In order to save their lives, this group of squires had no choice but to give in.

Chen Yuan opened his mouth to their lion and asked for a good sum of money, part of which was used to fill in for Xie Fu, which was regarded as a repayment; The other part continues to be used for disaster relief and replenishment into the government treasury.

Of course, Chen Yuan is not a fool either.

After smiling and forcing the squires and salt merchants to bleed, he sent plaques to these people's homes one by one, and said: The squire merchants were encouraged by the court's awards, and donated a lot of silver to the county, and he, the head of the county, should also be rewarded.

Moreover, Chen Yuan also reported this matter to the imperial court, and praised those rich people well.

So, even if everyone was slapped in the face, they still had to smile and say, "Lord Chen is really a good person."

Look at what this thing does, the knife cuts the tofu on both sides, except for the risky ones, it can be called perfect!

Even though he has changed a little bit, now even Xie Fu has to praise him a few words when he sees his methods, which shows what kind of calculating guy this person is.

If nothing else, he will do great things one day.

The squires were rewarded by the imperial court, and then donated two taels of silver to let the court know, wouldn't they be even happier?

Originally, the Yancheng flood would have been a big failure in Chen Yuan's political achievements, but now he has turned a game of dead chess into a good move.

"That's interesting...... I'm a little looking forward to what it will be like to see Chen Yuan again. ”

Back then, it was just a "good" relationship with Chen Yuan.

Xie Fu has done good deeds over the years, and he has even made some achievements, and he has carefully calculated with his fingers, which is also enviable.

She had already folded the letter into small pieces: "Full moon, let's think about what good deeds we are going to do this month." ”

"Huh?"

The full moon made a bitter face, and I couldn't wait to get under the table.

"Let the slave and maid think ...... again"

What are you kidding, Xie Fu has done twelve good deeds a year in the past few years, and there have been dozens of them in the past few years, saving the gangsters on the street, saving the scholars who went to Beijing to catch the exam, saving the martial arts who came out to beg for a living in the troupe, saving the lame cat in the east of the city, and helping people sweep the streets at the street corner......

Now that Xie Fu has even done the disaster relief, the full moon really can't think of any good ideas.

She hated to froth at the mouth and lie on the ground, just thinking that she was a dead person.

"Don't play dead, think about it."

As soon as Xie Fu saw the full moon's expression, he knew that she was resisting in her heart.

I really can't help it, Xie Fu is a person who likes freshness very much, good deeds always do the same, more will be boring, if you can find something different to do, it will be more interesting.

Full Moon helplessly propped up her head and wrinkled her bun face: "Girl, Full Moon feels that she is quite miserable, why don't you save me first and let me go!" ”

"Full moon!"

Xie Fu smiled, gritted his teeth, and called out the name of the full moon.

The full moon fell down weakly: "The slave maid helps you think about it...... Want to ......"

I'm so tired, I feel like there's no hope in life.

The full moon suddenly thought, how boring it is to do a good thing in the moon, if the girl tells her to change the moon to do an evil now, she must have all kinds of strange thoughts in her head, and she must toss the dead!

Pity......

Xie Fu obviously didn't mean that.

Full Moon lit a stick of incense for herself in her heart, and she couldn't wait to cry at Xie Fu's feet.

However, the East Wing is really crying.

There was already something broken in the room, Gao Miaozhen lay on the table and cried, obviously not expecting to steal chickens and rice this time.

She regretted that her intestines were blue, and she should have found a man to stuff into Xie Fu's house at that time, and saw that she dared to speak in front of herself!

Gritting her teeth fiercely, Gao Miaozhen brushed away everything on the table!

"Why!"

Grounded for a whole month, it is not at all something that a girl's family can endure when she is angry with a girl.

Gao Miaozhen made a fuss for a long time.

When the news reached Xie Fu, Xie Fu shook his head and sighed, thinking that she was too stupid: "A sick ghost was a father, and he had to ask for my mother's dowry back then, but his grandfather knew about it, and now this is happening." If I were her, I would clamp my tail tightly and be a man. I really don't know what else she's tossing! Wait, and she's unlucky. ”

Xie Fu is a person who has revenge and revenge, and his grievances are very clear, and he is never hypocritical.

The complaints are all clearly stated, and if you want to blame, you can only blame her Gao Miaozhen's cheap hands, if she didn't have the slap of the full moon, she wouldn't have troubled her.

With a grain on his finger, Xie Fu handed it to Yingjun, who gently lowered his head and pecked it, then pecked the grain and swallowed it.

Xie Fu glanced back at the full moon, only to see that her face was as smooth as new, and there was no trace at all.

"Now you can also go out, you go and ask Xiao Nan to prepare. Let's go to the Wuyun Tea House diagonally opposite the Star Picking Tower in the afternoon. ”

Full Moon nodded, and became happy: "It's been a long time since the slave maid has seen Miss Qin's face!" Aunt Jin will also come then, right? It's so good that you can learn makeup from her! ”

Xie Fu's eyes drooped, and he also smiled: "Go if you're happy." ”

"Hmm!"

Full Moon nodded vigorously again, and ran out like a gust of wind: "Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan!" ”

When Xie Fu heard this, he pointed his finger at the pinch of emerald feathers on his handsome head, and whispered: "Do all the women in the world love that rouge gouache......

Yingjun tilted his head: "The second girl is good, the second girl is good!" ”

Xie Fu fed it another grain and watched quietly.

Xicheng, Qipan Street, Xingxing Tower.

The Star Picking Tower is located in the chessboard street where the guild halls gather, which is a place where wealthy businessmen from all over the world gather, so whenever there are guests, they are basically generous.

The Star Picking Building is a green building, but it is not an ordinary green building.

Here, it is the first Lingqin young pity in the capital.

Legend has it that Qin Youxi once had a fairy song, which attracted all the birds in the sky to stop at the top of the star-picking building, and since then it has been famous in the capital.

But later, Xing Xu Tian was jealous, and somehow, Qin Youxi lost his voice, his voice was dumb, and he couldn't sing half a sentence again.

Everyone thought that she would never have a chance to turn over.

But three months later, Qin Youxi reappeared on stage, her voice was hoarse, but her face was covered with makeup and peerlessness.

So, after disappearing for three months, Qin Youxi lost her voice, but with a face, she regained the title of the leader, and worshiped countless ministers under her skirt.

At this moment, the second floor is in front of the window mirror sill.

"Girl, Chen Gongzi is here downstairs."

Qin Youxi's little girl, Ah Xiao, who served beside her, pouted, came up with a box of newly released rouge, and put it on the dressing table.

The lacquer carved mahogany is lined with a variety of rouge gouaches, which are mixed to give off a strong and rich aroma.

The beauty's slender fingers just touched a little flower dew in the glass bottle, and leaned in front of Joan's nose to sniff lightly.

A chuckle appeared on the face of the bewitching beauty: "Didn't Gu Anbo lock him up at home for a long time?" He also came in broad daylight, and he was really not afraid of death! Today I made an appointment with the second girl, you can send him away. ”

is beautiful, but her voice is a little hoarse.

Qin Youxi's tone of voice was tingling with a charm.

This is the most wistful woman's voice in the whole capital.

"Aunt Jin has already sent someone to invite him away. Speaking of which, Chen Gongzi is probably suffocated at home, right? The slave and maid looked at him with a very good face. ”

Ah Xiao walked over and began to comb Qin Youxi's hair.

Few of the maids serving in the Star Picking Building are new, let alone Qin Youxi, the first person to be around.

Ah Xiao combed a flying fairy bun, just looking at it from the mirror, she felt that Qin Youxi's posture was elegant, really like the bright moon Chang'e above the nine heavens.

It's just that Chang'e is cold, while Qin Youxi is bright and charming.

I dotted a little flower dew on my cheeks, and I felt that the whole person was full of fragrant smell.

Qin Youxi didn't ask about Chen Wang, but only asked and stretched his voice: "The second girl has arrived?" ”

"I have already sent someone to the tea house to ask, and said that it will be there in a few moments." Ah Xiao replied softly, picked a pair of earrings carved from red coral, and hung them up for Qin Youxi.

As a result, the original strong color has added a bit of beauty.

Qin Youxi got up, tilted his head to look at himself in the mirror, tapped his finger on his lip, and then put it down, his fingertips were already dyed a little bit or two of bright color.

She pulled her fingers back and licked her pink tongue.

The taste of lip fat.

Sweet.

Ah Xiao was terrified: Fortunately, it was himself who served Qin You, not those stinky men.

Looking at Ah Xiao's strange shocking expression, Qin Youxi laughed: "Look at you, I don't know, I still think you covet my beauty." You go and tell Aunt Jin, I'll go to the Wuyun Tea House opposite to see the second girl, I'll go over first, and anyone will block me. ”

Ah Xiao was stunned and sighed helplessly.

"Yes."

She respectfully agreed, and saw that Qin Youxi had already put her hands in front of her and went away.

Luo's skirt is fluttering, the lotus feet are moving lightly, the back is slender, and the mud and gold belt on the arm is half-naked, but the snow-white fragrant shoulders are half-naked, and the blood is gushing to see people.

Ah Xiao followed, walked to the door, and stopped.

Watching her diagonally across the board.

"Alas......" Ah Xiao couldn't help sighing.

"Okay, what's the sigh?"

The voice has an unusual sophistication and sophistication.

In the next room, there was a lamp behind the thin window screen, and the room was a little dark, and a figure could be faintly seen falling on the window screen.

When Ah Xiao heard the voice, she showed a panicked look on her face, and she didn't even know where to put her hand.

She hurriedly saluted the figure in the house, and said, "Ah Xiao didn't know that Aunt Jin was there, just ...... Just ......"

"It's just a place to laugh, no matter what happens, don't let me hear a second sigh."

“…… Be. ”

Ah Xiao opened her mouth to explain something, but finally closed her mouth and obediently agreed.

The shadow that fell on the window was the dress of an ordinary woman, motionless.

After hearing Ah Xiao's response of "yes", she bowed her head slightly, as if she acquiesced in her confession.

Ah Xiao bowed and retreated, but couldn't help but cast her eyes downstairs.

Qin Youxi's figure had already disappeared outside the door, heading towards the Wuyun Tea House diagonally opposite.

I only remember that a long time ago, when Qin Youxi was still famous for her voice, she was not like this.

Today's enchanting and charming, but it is all thanks to that "nobleman".

Perhaps, and indeed it is a given.

Without her, without Aunt Jin's help, Qin Youxi would not be able to get out of the shadows of the past, put on today's heavy makeup, and become the number one oiran that everyone in the capital is eager for.

No matter how you look at it, the second girl Xie helped her.

But that is the pearl of the Gao University Scholar's Mansion, how can such a high-ranking person help a Qinglou woman in vain?

Although he has served Qin You for a long time, Ah Xiao has never understood what else is in between.

She could only pray that the second girl Xie who loved to do good deeds really didn't ask for anything in return.

But another intuition shouted in her mind and lingered:

Everyone thinks Xie Fu is a bodhisattva, but she is not.

This person is by no means a good person.
