Niu Yanghui was promoted, from the prefect of Suzhou to the envoy of Jiangnan. The official position of the prefect of Suzhou is the fourth grade, and the envoy is the third grade, and Niu Yanghui jumped two levels in a row.

Niu Yanghui has been in Suzhou for more than five years, and even jumping two levels is not too out of line, at least not as scary as Ma Peng's three consecutive jumps.

Yue Yao muttered, "How can you be promoted to the rank of inspector?" ”

The prefect is in charge of the decrees of a state capital, and the chief is responsible for announcing state decrees, governing the people, adjudicating lawsuits, inspecting traitors, evaluating subordinate officials, collecting taxes, and other government affairs. It has the right to report at all levels of the territory, but it only has the right to report, and does not have the right to dispose of or reappoint. Moreover, under normal circumstances, it is the county order that really hears the case, and the procurator can only approve cases involving sentences below the prison sentence, and the so-called prison sentence is exile, while cases involving exile and crimes above the punishment of exile need to be reported to the criminal department for approval.

It can be said that Niu Yanghui's position has risen by two levels, but the power is not as big as before, of course, Niu Yanghui is just down to boil his qualifications, and he can't stay in Jiangnan for the rest of his life, if Niu Yanghui's promotion is in a normal year, at most, it will make Yue Yao feel that this is Niu Lao or Jingning Hou Luo Shao wants to sharpen Niu Yanghui more, but now that the northwest is fighting, Niu Yanghui has been transferred from the position of Suzhou prefect, how can Yue Yao think that there is something strange in this.

You must know that there is a war in the northwest, and the imperial court needs to requisition grain and grass, which is still risky, in case something happens, the officials who requisitioned and transferred grain must also be implicated, in order to avoid Niu Yanghui being implicated, Master Niu simply let Niu Yanghui leave the position of prefect.

Xiang Wei gave a different answer: "According to the inspector, Master Zhang will turn sixty this month, and the imperial court has a provision of sixty days off, this position is what Master Niu has long been optimistic about Niu Yanghui." "There is a fixed number of positions, not to mention that Lord Niu is just a second-grade official, even if he is the prime minister, as long as people don't make mistakes, you can't pull people down.

Yue Yao smiled: "It seems that I am thinking too much." "It turned out that Lord Niu was paving the way for Niu Yanghui!

Xiang Wei felt that it was a good thing that Yueyao could think more: "If I guessed correctly, when Niu Yanghui enters Beijing, it will be time for Master Niu to take a break." "It is impossible for the father and son to hold a high position in the capital together, there must be someone who retreats, and Master Niu's health has not been very good, but he did not retire for Niu Yanghui.

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world." ”

Xiang Wei had other ideas: "Since we know that there will be a drought in Jiangnan, should we accumulate a little grain, and we will also make a small fortune at that time." ”

Yueyao's face was ugly: "This kind of black-hearted money, are you embarrassed to earn it?" If it were her, she wouldn't feel at ease if she took this kind of money.

Xiang Wei muttered: "We won't sell at a high price at that time, it's only one achievement higher than when we bought it, anyway, if we don't sell it, others will sell it." Xiang Wei felt that by doing so, they were also saving the poor people.

Yueyao didn't do this: "If you really help everyone, it will be better to give porridge when the time comes!" Of course, even Shi Congee Yueyao couldn't do it, because she was determined to be in the capital at that time.

Speaking of the capital, Xiang Weicai smiled and said: "You also have a lot of food stored in Zhuangzi, and you donated it last time, so you don't plan to donate it again this time, right?"

Yue Yao said calmly: "Naturally, I want to donate, but I definitely won't donate to Jiangnan." "She wants to donate to the northwest.

Xiang Wei had an expression on her face that I knew you would be like this.

As the two were talking, they heard that Liu Lao had sent a post inviting Yueyao to Liu's mansion as a guest, and they didn't have to think about it to know that Liu Lao asked Yueyao to talk about the painting.

The war in the northwest did not affect the south of the Yangtze River, and it was not that everyone was unpatriotic, the main thing was that the battle was still a little smaller, and it was thousands of miles apart, of course, the main thing was that it was winter, and the two armies were in a state of truce.

Yueyao happened to go to find Liu Lao to have something, so she took the post immediately.

Yueyao was happy, but Mingzhu was a little unhappy: "I thought that I would be able to return to the capital after six years of term, but I knew that I would have to stay for three years." "Now the question is, after three years, I don't know if I can go back? Although the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, Mingzhu is used to life in the capital, and her family and friends are in the capital, so she still hopes to return to the capital as soon as possible.

Yue Yao smiled and said, "Don't be in the blessing and don't know the blessing, I don't know when Heyue will come back?" If you want to be like me, you won't have to cry to death!" They have been separated for five years.

Mingzhu is now very happy: "Fortunately, my aunt was unwilling to marry me to a general, otherwise I wouldn't know where I am now?" It's better to follow her husband to a foreign appointment, if you stay in the capital like this with Yueyao, that's the real sadness, speaking of which Yueyao is pretty good, at least her cousin didn't take a concubine, Yueyao is waiting in the capital with her children and her heart is quite comfortable, and the other generals who are not accompanied by beauties in office, and have children who are under the knees of the concubines.

Yueyao smiled and said, "So you have to be content, you can't always complain, you know?" Yueyao later listened to Xiang Wei's words to know why Mingzhu was always uneasy, because Niu Yanghui was busy with official business and socialized, and the husband and wife had less time to get along, which caused Mingzhu to be suspicious.

Mingzhu was still a little uneasy: "Xianggong said that when you return to Beijing next year, I want you to bring the three children back together, I won't let you, the two have a lot of disputes, Yueyao, you said that the three children are not around, and you have to take my life?"

Yueyao also felt that Niu Yanghui was a little unreasonable to do this: "The little group will go back to the capital with us, and the two little ones won't need it." "The three children are not around, Ming Yao, who is a mother, will not be crazy at that time, and Fei Ge'er has only left her for more than two months, and Yue Yao can't think about it.

Mingzhu listened to Yueyao's words, looked Yueyao up and down, and said, "Do you also miss Brother Fei?" I thought you didn't want to do it at all? By the way, have you ever worried about your cousin?"

Yueyao didn't want to talk to Mingzhu anymore: "Busy with your go!" I'm going to be busy, too. "Their husband and wife didn't make any trouble, and they didn't turn against each other and become strangers, An Zhichen was fighting on the front line, and she didn't worry about being a wife, could she be a saint.

Mingzhu thought of the things to deal with, and had a headache, she was very busy during the New Year every year, not to participate in banquets and visits, but to receive gifts, and she was very busy during the New Year's holidays.

Xiang Wei sneered: "What others can't think of, do you still dislike it?" Are you sure you're not pulling hatred?"

Mingzhu sneered: "Niu Yanghui is also a powerful general in the northwest, can Yue Yao be envious and jealous of me?" Compared with the northwest, Jiangnan is a rich place, but this does not mean that An Zhichen has no oil and water to fish, on the contrary, the oil and water of those generals in the army are quite rich.

Yueyao really didn't want to listen to these two women, so she turned around and prepared to go to the study.

Mingzhu hurriedly stopped Yue Yao and said, "Haven't you been painting well lately?" You don't have to make yourself so tired, so let's take a break!"

Yueyao said: "I'll go to the study to read." "I didn't paint two paintings well, Yue Yao didn't continue to paint, I can't find the reason, no matter how many paintings I paint, it's useless, Yue Yao has written to ask Mr. Yushan, and after Mr. Yushan replies to the letter, she will start to write, well, you can also ask Liu Lao tomorrow.

Xiang Wei asked Mingzhu and said, "Do we want to run a house?"

Mingzhu smiled proudly: "No, this is not the prefect's yamen's house, this is the house I bought myself." "The prefect's house is too small, and the house is not good, she doesn't like it, so she chose this house, although it is not particularly large, but it is more exquisite.

Xiang Wei looked at Yueyao, who was about to enter the house again, and made a suggestion: "Reading a book is also a brainstorm, you have to relax and relax, and take the children to barbecue and eat at night?" Eating barbecue alone, there is no taste, even if the barbecue is delicious, she also feels tasteless, and good things still have to be shared by everyone to be delicious!

Mingzhu thinks this suggestion is good, but she has a worry: "If this is the case, the homework assigned by the husband will not be completed." ”

Xiang Wei felt that Mingzhu's worries were not at all, the child's homework could not be done today and could be moved to tomorrow, as long as he told his husband that it would be done, the key question was whether Yueyao would agree.

Yueyao has always felt that Xiang Wei's proposals are reliable, but today's proposal is terrible: "If you want to barbecue, it should be in sunny weather, and the wind is so strong at night, do you want the child to catch a cold?" Although it snows heavily outside in the capital, the cold wind is cold, but as long as you don't go out, the house is still very warm, just like in spring, but Jiangnan is different, the winter in Jiangnan is cold to the bones, fortunately, she grew up in Jiangnan since she was a child, and several children have suffered.

Xiang Wei clapped her hands and smiled: "Okay, when you wait for the afternoon, we will make a barbecue to eat." ”

It's a pity that Yue Yao didn't come back until the evening the next day, and as soon as she came back, she went into the studio, and Yue Yao has been in the studio for several days in a row, except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time is in the studio, as if taking root in the studio.

In the past, Yueyao painted, and would let them go in to watch, but this time she closed the door directly, saying that she was afraid that they would interrupt her thinking, which made Xiang Wei very depressed, and Xiang Wei commented on Yueyao's behavior in two words: crazy.

Mingzhu agreed very much, and said: "I heard that whether it is a poet or a painter or a great writer, they are all crazy. ”

Xiang Wei looked at Mingzhu strangely and asked, "Have you grown a lot recently?" Could it be that copying the scriptures still has this effect? ”

Mingzhu smiled very happily, but she didn't explain to Xiang Wei, she copied the scriptures every day during this time, and found that it was really effective, because she could calm down and read the books on poetry and songs, if she didn't understand, she would wait for the evening to ask Niu Yanghui, Niu Yanghui was happy to teach her, very patient, Mingzhu felt that now their husband and wife seem to be back to the time when they first got married.

Xiang Wei was very disdainful of Mingzhu like this, as if she was afraid that others would not know about their husband and wife's love.

It took Yue Yao a total of six days to complete the painting.

Xiang Wei looked at Yueyao, not knowing whether to laugh or be angry: "You go to the mirror yourself and see what you have become?" It's not human. ”

Yueyao pulled Xiang Wei to the studio, pointed to the paintings she had painted, and said, "Look at it, how are I painting?"

The two paintings that Yue Yao began to make looked at Wei Du, those two paintings Yue Yao first painted the background of Xiangru dancing, not only the high platform, but also the surrounding delicacy and people watching, and finally painted Xiangru dancing, but now this painting is simplified, all the backgrounds are gone, only the most classic eighteen movements of Xiangru dance are drawn, each action is matched with Xiangru's expression at the time, very beautiful, especially the last action, and then with Xiangru's soul-hooking eyes, so that Xiang Wei looked fascinated.

Xiang Wei praised vigorously: "This painting is my favorite." "The first two paintings are too cumbersome, not as pure as this painting, this painting gives people the feeling that it is a dancer immersed in dance, so it presents a different kind of beauty, this beauty, which makes people intoxicated.

Yue Yao finally smiled happily.

Xiang Wei said disdainfully: "I have already asked you to rest for a few days before painting, look, I am right, right?" The two paintings you painted before were completely influenced by "Bamboo Garden". "Yue Yao took this name because there was a small bamboo forest in the garden, and this small bamboo forest was included in Yue Yao's painting.

Yue Yao thought about it seriously and felt that she was indeed influenced by the first painting at that time, and accepted criticism with an open mind at the moment.

Seeing this, Xiang Wei didn't want to criticize Yueyao anymore: "You better go and take a good rest!" Although Yueyao has been bathing in the past few days, and her three meals have not been interrupted, she looks a lot haggard, purely tired.

Yueyao went to bathe right away, and then didn't eat, and fell asleep when she crawled.

Xiang Wei looked at Yue Yao, who was sleeping sweetly, and couldn't help muttering, "You really can't live if you're not crazy!" Just like this infatuated look, she was embarrassed to see it, but it is precisely because of this appearance that she has achieved such a high achievement at a young age, there are laws for every drink and peck, and success does not fall from the sky.

In the interval between Yueyao's sleep, Xiang Wei got the news from the capital, and after seeing the news, Xiang Wei's face was very ugly.

The prefect of Suzhou is a fat shortage, and someone will fill it up as soon as this vacancy comes out, but that person needs to come over in February after the year, which means that Niu Yanghui can only take over the position of the envoy after February.

At the end of the year, officials will be very busy, and Niu Yanghui is no exception, but there is an advantage of foreign appointments, that is, after the small year, they tacitly do not deal with affairs, unless there is a major event, otherwise it is generally dealt with after the year.

Niu Yanghui returned to the mansion and asked with a smile, "Is the second sister still in the studio?" Niu Yanghui is still looking forward to Yueyao's painting, and if Yueyao can devote herself so wholeheartedly, this painting will definitely be better than "Bamboo Garden".

Mingzhu smiled and said, "No! She's finally finished painting and is now resting! For six days and six nights, except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time was in the studio, and I really admired her. "From another point of view, Yueyao is an extremely irresponsible mother, just a broken painting, Yueyao has not taken care of her children in the past few days, where in this world is there such a mother.

Mingzhu now finally understands why several children are so well-behaved and sensible, especially Kexin, who has always taken the initiative to take care of Brother Sheng and Brother Xu, and when she encounters such an irresponsible mother, she can't do anything if she is ignorant!

Mingzhu couldn't help muttering: "Yueyao has been busy painting these days, and it is Kexin who is taking care of Brother Sheng'er, I deliberately complained in front of her that Yueyao is not good, how do I know that Kexin is protecting her mother tightly!" cough, you don't know, I couldn't tell the feeling in my heart at that time, how could this child be so sensible and so filial!" Mingzhu is really complaining about Yueyao on the one hand, and envying Yueyao on the other, and her mood is very complicated.

Niu Yanghui smiled: "The child doesn't complain about the second sister, which shows that several children know it, in fact, you can't say that the second sister is not a qualified mother because of this, and the children are taught very well, which shows that the second sister must have spent a lot of effort on the child." And the second sister's situation must rarely happen, otherwise where would the three children be so close to her. "Relying on the maid and the barbarian girl Xiang Wei alone, where can the four children of Kexin and Brother Sheng be taught so well.

Mingzhu nodded and said, "I asked Xiang Wei, and she said that this kind of situation is rare, and it has been like this three or four times in the past few years!" If you are constant, you must not scare people to death.

Niu Yanghui said: "Isn't this enough, speaking of which, what is the second sister painting?" Mingzhu didn't tell him about it, which made Niu Yanghui's heart feel as if he was bitten by a small insect, itchy and particularly uncomfortable.

Mingzhu was reluctant to tell Niu Yanghui: "You won't know when the time comes, by the way, Yueyao will return to the capital in more than two months, and I have to prepare to send things back to the capital." "Yueyao, a painting fairy who doesn't touch her fingers, can't be relied on, and she has to take care of this matter.

Niu Yanghui is not a stingy person: "You have more specialties in Jiangnan, it is rare for Yueyao to go back and forth to Jiangnan, and you will definitely have to send things to relatives and friends when you go back." ”

Mingzhu glanced at Niu Yanghui: "You still need to say this." "When I met such a girlfriend who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, I had to work hard.

Yueyao and Xiang Wei have been together for fourteen years, as soon as she woke up and saw Xiang Wei, she knew that something was wrong with Xiang Wei, she didn't urge, after washing, she asked when she was pacing around the house after dinner: "What happened?" Is there something going on in the capital? Or is there something going on in the Northwest?"

Xiang Wei said in a sullen voice: "It's news from the capital, Hou Ye said that you dreamed of the drought in the south of the Yangtze River This matter is very important, and he wants to inform the Holy Lord of this matter, and this time I wrote to ask for your opinion." "Where is this to ask Yue Yao's opinion, this is clearly informing, whether they want to or not, Hou Ye is ready to inform the saint of this matter.

Yueyao's expression was calm.

Seeing this, Xiang Wei hurriedly said: "This matter is not trivial, once the Hou Ye informs the emperor of this matter, you will have to be involved in this whirlpool, if there is no drought in Jiangnan next year, you will have to bear the crime of bullying the king, if there is a drought in Jiangnan, you will also be in trouble." Xiang Wei regrets it very much now, she shouldn't have told Hou Ye the news if she knew that she would cause such a big trouble, cough, there is no regret medicine in this world.

After listening to Xiang Wei's words, Yueyao's expression was still very calm: "I already knew. She had been hesitant before, because she was afraid that if she said this, it would bring endless trouble, and even bring death.

Xiang Wei's face changed again and again: "You already knew, why did you tell me?" You shouldn't tell me about this, no, I shouldn't tell Hou Ye, no, it's not right, you asked me to tell Hou Ye, why did you do this?" Xiang Wei was a little incoherent when she thought of the consequences.

Yue Yao stood under the window, looking up at the sky outside, it was very dark and she couldn't see anything, but Yue Yao looked at it for a long time: "No why, I just want to do this." "Knowing that there will be a drought in Jiangnan next year, if she keeps her mouth shut, she won't be able to pass her own level, if she talks about it, with the help of Jingning Hou, the imperial court will inevitably be wary, as long as the imperial court has action, Jiangnan and the northwest will definitely die a lot less, people do something and don't do something, exchange her life for tens of thousands of people, or even more people's lives, Yueyao thinks it's worth it, of course, this is the worst situation.

Xiang Wei was anxious: "But have you ever thought about Kexin and them?" They're so small, if they get involved......"

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "I have seriously thought about this, in case the emperor will ask me to blame, but he will not implicate the child." "She is not a rebellion, she just dreamed of a drought in Jiangnan, and told the emperor about this, as for whether she listens or not, it depends on the emperor, even if there is no drought in Jiangnan next year, the emperor cannot blame others.

Xiang Wei said after a long while: "Even if they won't be held accountable, but once you're gone?" Do you think you will be able to have a good life with four children in the future? Yueyao, how can you be so ruthless as a mother?"

Yue Yao bit her lower lip, and she was about to bite it out: "It's me who is selfish, it's me who can't stand them." If she hadn't been thinking about a few children, why would she have spoken out about it now, but if she hadn't said it, she would have lived in guilt for the rest of her life.

Xiang Wei knew that Yue Yao had already made up her mind, and it was useless to persuade again, so Xiang Wei let out a sigh: "What I said is just the worst step, since Hou Ye wants to tell the emperor about this matter, if there is something in the future, Hou Ye will definitely not stand idly by." Even if there was a case, she wouldn't let the four children suffer the slightest grievance.

The next day, Mingzhu came to visit Yueyao, saw that Yueyao's lower lip was red and swollen, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Are there bugs in the house?" Impossible? How can there be bugs in the house.

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "I don't know, that's it when I wake up." "Yueyao is not good at lying, and she is not willing to lie, a lie needs ten lies to complete, it is better to directly say that she doesn't know, let Mingzhu make up for it by herself.

Mingzhu now decided that Yueyao's lips were bitten by insects, and muttered: "You said that you are really, there are insects in the house without making a sound, and you can bite them in your sleep." "You can't blame Mingzhu for believing Yueyao's words, it's really that apart from insects, Mingzhu can't think of anything that bites Yueyao's lip.

Xiang Wei didn't smile on her face: "She bit her own dream, don't pay attention to her, come, I'll take you to see that painting, that painting is good." ”

Mingzhu asked Yueyao for it after reading the painting, and Mingzhu said directly: "Yueyao, I must have this painting, you have to give it to me or not." The tone was very domineering.

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "No one can give this painting." "She is going to take this painting back and display it when the time comes.

Mingzhu was still unwilling to give up, and said: "Yueyao, I like this painting, when I return to the capital, will you give it to me?"

Before Yue Yao could say no, she said to Wei: "It's too early to say a few years later, let's talk about it when you return to the capital!" After saying this, Xiang Wei looked at Yueyao and said, "You promised to show this painting to that Xiangru after it came out, when are you going to show it to her?" Miss Xiangru agreed to come and perform for them because Yueyao promised to paint her.

Yue Yao sighed and said, she had long forgotten about this matter: "You can deal with this matter!" She can watch Miss Xiangru dance, but she will never come into contact with this kind of person, it's not that Yueyao looks down on them, but because of her identity, if people know that she has intersected with the Qinglou woman, she doesn't care much about what others say about Yueyao, but she may implicate a few children, Yueyao can not care about other people's gossip, but she can't care about her own children.

Xiang Wei hadn't gone out for a long time, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll go tomorrow." ”

The next day, Xiang Wei was dressed in men's clothes and invited a guard to follow her to Xunfang Pavilion.

Xunfang Pavilion is not as good as the general brothel, there is a bustard mother with a few people at the door to usher in the send-off, Xunfang Pavilion looks like a big mansion outside, walk in, you will know that there is a small bridge and flowing water, pavilions and courtyards, giving people a very comfortable feeling, but the interior decoration is very different from ordinary people, the lobby is well arranged, giving people a palatial palace-like feeling, turning the lobby, is a few winding corridors leading to different courtyards and rooms, these courtyards and rooms, is the girl of Xunfang Pavilion lived, The more expensive the girl, the more the room is inside, and Miss Xiangru, as an Oiran, has an independent small courtyard.

Xiang Wei did not identify herself, nor did she throw out the silver, but said directly to the bustard's mother: "I want to see Miss Xiangru." ”

Mother Bustard looked at the painting scroll in Xiang Wei's hand, her face was happy, and she said with a smile: "Did Mrs. Lian send you to send the painting?"

Xiang Wei glanced at the bustard's mother coldly: "My master just promised Miss Xiangru to show her when the painting was made, and he didn't say that he wanted to give her the painting." ”

The bustard's mother is a little regretful, this even a painting of Mrs. is worth a thousand gold, of course, the most important thing is not this thousand gold, after all, Xiangru girl also needs a thousand gold to pick up a guest, the key is that with this painting, Xiangru girl's fame can go to the next level, at that time, the money is not rolling towards her, thinking of this, the smile on the bustard's face is like a blooming chrysanthemum, especially brilliant: "Two masters, please here." "As long as the painting is good, the lady will not give it away, but they can buy it.

The bustard's mother heard the sound of silk and bamboo inside, and asked Xiang Wei and the two to wait outside: "Forgive me, two masters, there are guests here in Xiangru, please wait for a while." I'll come when I go. "If you always come to see Xiangru Dance, you will definitely not be able to bring it in, and the master inside will definitely be mad, but these two are different, they are here to send paintings, and I believe that the master inside will also be interested.

Sure enough, after a while, the bustard mother came out and said, "Two masters, please inside." "The bustard's mother's eyesight is first-class, don't look at the clothes worn by the two of them are not gorgeous, but the clothes of the person at the head are of the highest quality, and this momentum is definitely not something that an errand runner can have.

The first thing Xiang Wei saw when she went in was not Xiangru, but a young man wearing a brocade robe with silk thread around his waist and a hosta, Xiang Wei knew this young man, and said with a smile: "Gongzi He, I'm really sorry to disturb your Yaxing!"

When He Feng saw Xiang Wei, he was not annoyed, although he lingered in the Qinglou and acted a little absurdly, it didn't mean that he didn't know who could be messed with and who couldn't be provoked, and the person in front of him was not easy to mess with: "I just have the honor to appreciate Mrs. Lian's masterpiece." "I mainly sent paintings to Weilai, not to compete with him for beauty, otherwise I wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

Xiang Wei naturally won't be so stingy, this painting will be exhibited in the capital in the future, and there will be a lot of people looking at it at that time, and this one is not bad: "Naturally, you can, but it's better to invite Miss Xiangru to watch it together." ”

As soon as Xiang Wei's words fell, she heard a pleasant sound, which was made by the impact of the bell, and she didn't have to guess to know that it was Miss Xiangru coming.

After a while, Miss Xiangru came out of it, this time Xiangru's outfit was completely different from the last time she danced, Dai's eyebrows swiped, lightly opened, and glanced at Xiang Wei, the style that was revealed can instantly make people forget everything.

Xiang Wei likes to see beauties, but it is impossible to be confused by beauties, and said to Xiangru: "I was ordered by my wife to bring a painting to show you." ”

Xiangru personally took the scroll from Xiang Wei's hand and spread it out on the table, and when the painting was completely spread out, Xiangru looked at the painting without blinking.

The bustard's mother was also stunned, and when she came back to her senses, she gritted her teeth and said, "This master, whether this painting can be sold to us Xunfang Pavilion is easy to discuss." With this painting, Xiangru completely confirmed the position of the first Oiran, where is the peony cool, if she can buy this painting, she will admit how much money.

He Feng also echoed: "It's a pity that such a good painting is hidden from people to see." He Feng wanted to keep it for himself.

Xiang Wei smiled and said: "This painting is going to be brought back to the capital for exhibition, so this painting can't be sold for any money, if you like it, look at it for a while, I can go back later." ”

The bustard mother was pleasantly surprised and said, "Is what you said true?" If this painting can be brought to the capital for exhibition, then Xiangru will become famous in the capital, and more and more people will come to find Fangge, which is more advantageous than hanging the painting in Xiangru's boudoir.

Xiang Wei nodded and said, "This is naturally true." ”

After staying in Xunfang Pavilion for almost an hour, Xiang Wei was about to go back, and at this time Xiangru stopped Xiang Wei: "For the sake of me promising Mrs. Lian to dance for her that day, I can take the liberty of asking for something?"

Xiang Wei nodded and said, "As long as you don't feel embarrassed, I can promise you." ”

The corners of Xiangru's mouth were bitter: "I have nineteen years old this year, the golden section has passed, I will be replaced by someone in three years at most, and then I came up with Xunfang Pavilion, don't worry, I don't want my wife to help me redeem myself, I saved some money myself, I came up with Xunfang Pavilion to find someone to rely on, otherwise alone, even if I can get out of Xunfang Pavilion, I can't get a foothold outside." Xiangru knows very well, don't look at her infinite scenery now, sought after by countless literati and artists, but once someone replaces her, she will not even be as good as a grass at that time, and she doesn't know how she will be practiced by the bustard's mother, and she doesn't want to be a concubine, the Qinglou woman is just an ant-like existence, and she doesn't know how to die in the back house when the time comes.

Xiangru has been thinking of retreating for the past two years, but none of the benefactors who came can be trusted, but today, she sees hope, this painting makes her see Mrs. Lian's respect for her, so she wants to fight for herself.

Xiang Wei was very surprised to hear Xiangru's words, at this time she seemed to understand why her master fell in love with this Xiangru alone among the four Oiran, it can't be said that this Xiangru is out of the mud and not stained, but at least this woman keeps a clean heart down: "It's not that we don't help you, but you should also know that our wife just came to Jiangnan to play, and she won't live in Jiangnan for a long time." Xiang Wei knew what Xiangru was worried about, a woman with beauty and money would definitely be remembered if she didn't have a backer, and these women usually wouldn't end well, so under normal circumstances, no one would leave the Qinglou without a support.

If they were in Jiangnan, Xiang Wei wouldn't mind helping this Xiangru, but if they wanted to go back to the capital, even if they helped, they couldn't do anything, as for asking Mingzhu to help, not to mention that Yueyao wouldn't open this mouth, and Xiang Wei wouldn't open this mouth.

Xiangru's expression was gloomy.

Xiang Wei said with a smile: "My wife's art exhibition will definitely open within three years, and you will definitely be famous in the capital by then, if you go to the capital by then, I can help you." "Xiang Wei's rare enthusiasm on weekdays, this time was also touched by Yueyao, no matter what, this is also a life.

Xiangru nodded and said, "Okay." "The capital is a little far from Jiangnan, but at least it is a hope.

Yueyao knew Xiang Wei's decision, and didn't say anything: "When she really arrives in the capital, you can solve it in private." "Yueyao will not interfere, there are so many poor people in the world, you can't save them if you want to.

Xiang Wei also felt that it was not a difficult thing, Xiangru went to the capital, and when the time came, she would find a place to settle down, and she would not do it no matter how much she wanted.

Yue Yao looked at the rickety branches outside: "This is already the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, and Fei Ge'er should also come back." "Yueyao definitely won't let Fei Ge'er spend the New Year at Wen Lao's side, so she wrote a letter at the beginning of the month.

Xiang Wei's voice was very soft: "Are you going to take Fei Ge'er back?"

Yueyao nodded: "I will definitely take him back, if everything goes well, I will let him come to Jiangnan in two years." "The child is too young, it is too cruel to leave him alone in Jiangnan, and Yue Shao is reluctant.

Xiang Wei thought that Yueyao hadn't sent the letter out yet, and said in a low voice, "Don't change your mind?" It's too late for you to change your mind. ”

Yue Yao shook her head lightly and said, "When I was about to tell Master Hou about this, I didn't think about backing down. "Now that it's decided, she's not going to quit.

Xiang Wei couldn't help but sigh, in fact, she also knew that it was difficult to convince Yueyao, and now she only hoped that everything would go smoothly.
