Hongchen's mobility has always been good.

It's not a hassle.

Just near Luo Niang's shop, they soon bought three other shops, one of which was old, and wanted to go back with his son to enjoy Qingfu and take the initiative to sell, and the other two shops were offered by both hands after hearing about it in the inner house.

The shop is the two big eunuchs of the inner government, and they bought it themselves to collect rent.

Hongchen's current reputation is really not small, many people want to stammer, but there is no way, she is hidden tightly by the queen's mother, and the time she has come to the capital is short, and she doesn't like to socialize everywhere.

Luo Niang and the others received the benefits of being forced over with smiling faces, and they were really a little confused.

Of course, the shop can't be asked for nothing, since people give it sincerely, they will pay for it.

In fact, the store in the capital has a price, and ordinary people can't buy it at all, if Hongchen is not a favored county lord, if he wants to buy a shop, he can't buy a particularly good location at double the price.

People with shops in their hands, as long as they are not really short of money, how many people are willing to sell? In the past two years, it has been a price for a while, and it has been climbing upwards one by one.

After fifteen, Hongchen gathered all the idle people in his house and went to the shop to do some decoration.

As usual, I made one compartment and bookcase after another from plants.

There are also chairs made of various rattans.

The books at home are picked and arranged.

Hongchen also discussed with Luo Niang and the others to sell pen, ink, paper and inkstone for these guests to copy books, and for every three copies copied, they could get one for nothing.

Of course. It's okay to pay for it yourself.

It is estimated that most of the poor students are willing to come, one can read for free, and the other can copy a lot of books, and they can earn a share to go home.

In these years, books are very important, ordinary people have a few books as heirlooms, secrets, Hongchen now take out so much, so that all the guests can take it to read, it is a great merit.

Xue Baiqiao after they knew. I also helped deliver a lot of books.

Jin Qing also copied several manuscripts from the Hanlin Academy. They all belong to the kind where Hanlin scholars can see it at will, but it is even more difficult for outsiders to see it.

The opening of the teahouse, unlike the last time it was a day of ice and fire, did not do much publicity at all. It's just that Hongchen drew a propaganda poster by himself. Posted in Luo Niang's shop. Occasionally, a guest sees it, and it is so close that it is just right to go in and have a look.

But anyone who reads. After watching it once, I never forgot it, and the afterglow of the New Year was still there, and the teahouse had to take the method of restricting entry because there were too many guests, and the time for everyone to go in and stay was limited to one hour.

An hour is not less, that is, do nothing in one breath, only read, and read for an hour, you should also take a break, otherwise your spirit will not be good.

Hongchen set up a private room for himself in it, surrounded by verdant greenery, extraordinarily quiet, a cup of tea, an idle book, you can sit for most of the day, and it is also a good place for recreation.

On this day, Hongchen was drinking tea, Wei Ren rushed over with a panicked face, he didn't know where to get the news, he knew that Hongchen was in the teahouse, he was stunned and stayed outside for most of the day, and finally waited for Hongchen to go out.

Luo Niang was a little unhappy: "It's really annoying." ”

It's not a little annoying, it's been a good year, just because the queen mother arranged a job for her own lady, she provoked such a family, and the year was messy, and there was no stop.

Hongchen also wanted the coachman to turn around and avoid it, but as soon as he opened the curtains and glanced at it, he frowned, pushed open the window and said coldly: "You don't want to enter the palace." ”

Wei Ren was stunned.

Hongchen said to Luo Niang again: "Take my post, go into the palace and tell the queen that don't see the daughters of the Guo family these days, if you can't avoid it, it's okay to be sick." ”

Luo Niang did not hesitate, responded in a low voice, and quickly beckoned the guards to come over, took Hongchen's name card, and asked him to send him to the palace.

Wei Ren could vaguely hear the whispers inside, his face changed suddenly, he was startled, instinctively hugged his arms, looked around, gritted his teeth and raised his head, and looked at Hongchen without saying anything.

"Come up."

Hongchen nodded, and Luo Niang opened the car door.

Wei Ren hesitated, and finally climbed up with great difficulty, he didn't care about any rudeness at this time, anyway, the female officials were here, and they were such noble children that they couldn't even ride in the same car with women.

When he got into the car, Hongchen rummaged through it, but he couldn't find the charm, so he had to take his Qingfeng again and point at Wei Ren's eyebrows.

Wei Rendeng's face turned pale with fright.

"What for!?"

Hongchen didn't look at him, only touched Qingfeng, Qingfeng trembled slightly at this time, he looked very unhappy, he couldn't help laughing, and whispered while laughing: "Okay, okay, I know that the things on his body are not delicious, teeth, and I don't want you to eat snacks, good." ”

Now Qingfeng is much more lively than before, and it will make him small.

However, Hongchen spoke, it still stretched its body, touched Wei Ren's eyebrows, a drop of blood oozed out, Wei Ren suddenly felt a cold chill from the center of his eyebrows all the way to the soles of his feet, followed by a scorching breath, hot and cold, making him sweat profusely, almost prostration.

But after that, he suddenly felt that the burden on his body was a little lighter, and he let out a long breath.

Hongchen still frowned, stared at him, and shook his head.

This behavior made Wei Ren feel shocked, and he hurriedly said: "County Lord, but what's wrong?" I, my last few days, this ......"

He was in a panic, and he couldn't say one, two, three, his eyes were anxious, and he gritted his teeth for a while, and said viciously: "Our family may have provoked the fox demon, county lord, I will believe you, you can help me, even the six-year-old children in my family are ......."

Wei Ren has always belonged to the kind of person who thinks he is full of righteousness, can't get used to all injustice, but is actually a little naïve, good to say, naïve, if it's not good, he can only be said to be an elm head, a stupid person, but he is a kind of person, all kinds of bad, a little good, he is in general, very serious, very moral.

Although he also protects his shortcomings, he sometimes can't carry it clearly. does bad things with good intentions, but after all, he still thinks that he is a righteous gentleman, and he is willing to be a righteous gentleman.

These people, when they were forced to say such a thing as a fox demon in front of others, were so ashamed that they didn't even dare to raise their heads, and they wanted to die headlonging.

Hongchen sighed: "Let me tell you, you do have a yin aura on your body, and the belt is only incidental, after I remove it." It's also faintly stained. Obviously the source is not you, I ask you, where have you been lately? ”

"Evil breath?"

Wei Ren obviously understands a little, he just didn't understand it before. After his father-in-law encountered that unfortunate thing. I don't want to chase it. At this time, I was a little confused, "Now for the New Year, I am not at my father-in-law's." In addition to entertaining guests at home, I also went to the homes of several relatives and friends. ”

"Is there anything strange going on with your relatives and friends?"

Hongchen narrowed his eyes.

Wei Ren hurriedly shook his head, thought about it carefully, and then said with certainty: "I also met one of my nephews just now, and he also said that the family is developing well, and the clansmen say that this year is very comfortable, and nothing major has happened." ”

"That's the Wei family."

Hongchen said softly, "That's it, I happen to have free today, so I'll go to your house to have a look." ”

Wei Ren's face showed a strong sense of joy and gratitude, for him, a county lord with a noble status was willing to condescend for his little personal affairs, it was really rare, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and he was a little ashamed.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, he poured two bowls of yellow soup, but he was quite rude to the county lord, and now that he thinks about it, he can't wait to shave his ears.

Wei Ren kept his head drooping, a little more respectful, and when the group arrived at Wei's house, he led everyone to get out of the car, and he was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "The cold house is simple, and I hope it includes one or two." ”

This statement, on the whole, is not all modesty.

The lintel of the Wei family is indeed not high, just looking at this house, it is just an ordinary two-entry courtyard, very narrow.

There are not many people, quietly, and there are no extravagant furnishings, so it looks very old, giving people a feeling of decadence.

Wei Ren sighed.

Hongchen was a little surprised, just such a family, it definitely doesn't matter in the capital, how can you raise two hundred and five like Wei Ren, and what's even more outrageous is that you can raise someone like Wei Yi?

Wei Ren sighed a little, and whispered: "My father is far from the old man Guo's little servant, and later he was valued by the benefactor, taught him to read and write, saw that he was sensitive and studious, and he was also motivated, and married his wife's love maid to his father, and let him out of the house, so as soon as I was born, I was a good citizen, and I could participate in the imperial examination, even this house was bought by my father-in-law for my father back then, and then I gave my father to my father-in-law as a personal soldier, and also made a little merit, and the emperor valued him and was promoted to the five-grade garrison, but he was still reluctant to change the house, Even if his father-in-law wanted to buy him a bigger and better one, he was reluctant to do so, because it was closer to Guo's mansion. ”

As he spoke, he became excited: "My father-in-law treats my family like a mountain, and I don't think my father is a domestic slave, and even married his beloved daughter to me, for my father-in-law, I am not an exaggeration, I have long sworn to respect my wife for the rest of my life, not to make her sad, not to make her sad, so that she will always be the same as in the boudoir, like a little girl, without any troubles, hum, no matter what kind of fox demon, don't try to seduce me, I won't be sorry for Mrs. at all!" ”

His face flushed, clearly genuinely angry.

Luo Niang's expression also unconsciously improved.

Although Wei Ren still hates it, he has a thousand, ten thousand shortcomings, and being good to his wife is enough to make the woman feel that he is not too bad.

"It turns out that not all men in the world don't know what loyalty is."

Luo Niang couldn't help but sigh.

In such a world, men have three wives and four concubines, and if you talk to him about loyalty and self-guarding, isn't that a joke?

Luo Niang didn't dare to think about these things on weekdays, and even her own young lady hadn't thought about it before.

But over the years, Miss didn't know where to find some scripts, all of which were nonsense about what to say from the beginning, a man only marries a wife, etc., she usually reads it, the more she thinks this thing is nonsense, the more vaguely attracted.

Xiao Yan occasionally laughed at her, saying that she thought of spring.

Luo Niang laughed unconsciously-Sure enough, when people are better these days, the scars left in their hearts back then will fade away, and unconsciously, they think about men and the like.

Hongchen didn't know how many thoughts crossed Luo Niang's heart in an instant, and when she heard her sisters sigh like this, she also smiled and said: "What are you saying, I have said a long time ago, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, although the men in the world are lucky." Greedy for flowers and lustful, but you can't beat everyone to death with a rod, in this world, it's not that there is no one who guards a woman all his life. ”

Luo Niang shrugged: "Good young lady, most of what you are talking about are broken families who can't marry a daughter-in-law, that is, a man from a peasant family, with money, maybe he still wants to ask for two concubines, a man with high status." How can anyone guard a woman? I won't talk about anything else. Is the status of the princess of the dynasty high? That's the princess, don't the horses have no concubines? ”

Hongchen still has to refute, she can name a few men who have a reputation for fearing their wives and tigers, and they dare not mess with them at all. But. There's no point in arguing about that. As Luo Niang said, men in the world raise a few concubines. It's normal, it's a very elegant thing.

The two of them stood there whispering, forgetting Wei Ren for a while, Wei Ren was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, looking at it with his eyes, and whispered: "County Lord, County Lord?" ”

As soon as Hongchen came back to his senses, he said with a straight face: "General Wei doesn't have to worry, don't be pressured, tell me the situation in detail, and I'll take a look at it slowly." ”

Wei Ren thought of his beloved wife, and he didn't care about being ashamed or not, and softly told him about the cause and effect.

Actually, it wasn't too serious at first.

It was that he was in a daze at night, as if he had a dream, and another woman came in the dream and invited him to go to Wushan Yunyu, but he remembered very clearly, his heart was beating very fast, and he felt that the woman was particularly charming, but he woke up when he remembered his wife in an instant, and he didn't do anything at all.

When he woke up, he found that it was a dream, so he didn't take it seriously, he just thought it was because he was busy these days, and he hadn't made love to his wife for a long time, a little, cough cough......

Later, it was calm.

But when he finally seized the opportunity two days ago, he pulled the lady to make love and clear the heat, and when he was thick, there was suddenly a woman by the window, wearing only a belly pocket, with a bewitching look, and he was so scared that he was sweating profusely, but his wife couldn't see it at all, and he was even more afraid, but he couldn't bear to let his daughter-in-law worry, and he couldn't bear to deal with his worried wife, and didn't let him find a doctor.

When he said these words to the county lord, he also felt blushing, but he couldn't help it when he was sick and rushed to the doctor.

"It must be a fox demon, and I don't know where the fox girl came from, stirring up my house."

Luo Niang's face turned red when they heard this, and they couldn't wait to cover Hongchen's ears.

Hongchen was serious, and asked a few people who also said that they had met a demon, and there were still men and women. Even an old family member of the Wei family, who has been in the Wei family for more than 30 years and is over 50 years old, also said that he had seen it, and it was not just in a dream.

There was even a maid who hanged herself because she dreamed that she was bewitched by the fox demon, but fortunately she was saved in time, otherwise she would have died.

Demon fox!

She also knows the little fox demon, when she thinks about it, she feels very cute, often misses, occasionally she also received gifts from small guests from afar, maybe just a few beautiful petals, a little delicious food, or some old books, some precious, some are not valuable, but these gifts sent by all kinds of small animals, but undoubtedly with the most sincere heart, more joyful than gold and silver.

So when it comes to the fox demon, it's really hard for her to share the same hatred, and she doesn't think that what is going on here will have anything to do with the little fox demon.

Animals give birth to spiritual intelligence, more difficult than plants, after all, plants kill less, the breath is pure, animals eat grains, but more ignorance than people, it takes a big chance to open spiritual intelligence, but it is not like ordinary people imagine, what kind of fox weasel, live a longer time can become a great immortal.

But any fox with wisdom, even if he is born with the art of charm, he will not attack people at will, otherwise when the catastrophe comes, it will be the end of the soul flying and annihilation.

Hongchen asked Wei Ren to take him, walked around Wei's house, and suddenly pointed to the east wing: "Who lives there?" ”

Wei Ren was stunned and hesitated: "What's wrong?" My second brother lives there. ”

Hongchen nodded: "How is Wei Yi's situation?" Have you ever encountered strange things? ”

"That's not it."

Wei Ren thought for a moment and said softly, "The second brother has been taught a lesson in the past few days, and he has been honestly copying books in the study, and he has not gone out. ”

He had also taught his younger brother before, but the child was arrogant and willful, and the family used to be spoiled, and then his father died, and his mother was also weak and sick, and he didn't last a few years.

That kid was still moving, and wanted him to calm down and read a few more pages at home, but it was like killing him, and he was about to slip away if he didn't pay attention.

Wei Ren is often worried about this.

He himself loves to read, and he was once told by his father. said that only by studying can he become a talent and have a good life, and his younger brother does not study, so he is naturally worried.

This time I seemed to be frightened, and I honestly stayed at home, and I didn't go out of the door, and I didn't contact those fox friends and dog friends.

Thinking of this, Wei Ren's face couldn't help but show a little joy: "The second brother has been very well-behaved these days." "If he keeps it up well, he can buy back the few playthings he likes. Kids. If you don't give a reward, how can you teach to be more obedient?

Hongchen could see Wei Ren's thoughts at a glance. Also speechless. Shook his head. said weakly: "Please call your second brother, and the girl who is waiting for your second brother to come out, I want to ask." ”

It's not that hard.

Not much. A little girl in a red jacket and a green dress walked out.

However, Wei Yi was so late that he couldn't see anyone.

Wei Ren smiled: "Xu is ashamed, this kid is a mallet, don't be like him." ”

Hongchen's gaze fell on the girl, as if she hadn't heard it.

The little girl looked frightened, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and it was when she was bright, but her face was old, and she looked more than ten years older.

Wei Ren was stunned, and suddenly a little confused, although as the eldest brother, he is not good at paying attention to the people around his younger brother, but he is in charge, and his younger brother has a bit of a problem that young men have, and he is easy to fall into the female color, so the maids in the family are all carefully watched by him.

The one in front of me is called Lu'e, a few years ago, she was bought with her father and sister and her younger siblings, she has always been loyal and honest, and her appearance is also delicate, why did she suddenly change!

"What's up with you...... What about the second master? ”

"Woohoo."

As soon as the little girl came out, the head of the house only asked, and she began to cry with a whimper, and her face was panicked.

Wei Ren looked puzzled.

Hongchen closed his mouth and refused to ask, and when he saw the maid coming out, the door was still open, so he raised his foot and pushed the door, and went to the house.

The little maid suddenly bit her lip, closed her eyes in fright, and trembled, Wei Ren saw it, her heart was strange, she frowned slightly, and followed in, and when she entered the door, they smelled a strong aroma.

"What does it smell like?"

Wei Ren couldn't help but sneeze twice, hurriedly opened the window to breathe, and turned his head to startle, only to see his second brother sitting cross-legged in the shadows, with a book spread out on his knees, just looking fascinated, his eyes were shining, and his face was shining in the dark shadows, very energetic.

“……”

How could my brother suddenly love to read?

Wei Ren was very suspicious of what the book was, and glanced at Hongchen, his heart tangled.

His unlucky younger brother is already a pervert and stupid in the eyes of the county lord, and if he is caught looking at those messy things, where is it good?

"Ahem."

Wei Yi remained unmoved.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Wei Ren coughed vigorously a few more times.

His stupid brother still didn't move, still fascinated.

There was no way, when the elder brother had to step forward slowly, lowered his head and looked at the pages of the book, although it was dim, he could still see clearly.

I was stunned when I saw it.

This kid is not a bad book, it is a volume of "The Legend of the Immortals", although it is not a serious need to read, but this kind of book is not impossible to read.

And, as if the book is still from ...... The hand of the lord of Rong'an.

Wei Ren smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The county lord's mother is wonderful, but you can't be fascinated by this, hurry up, I have something to ask you......"

Before the words fell, Hongchen suddenly stepped forward and slapped Wei Yi's head, grabbing his chin violently, causing him to look up.

As soon as Wei Ren's face changed, he was stunned and took a step back suddenly: "Second brother! ”

Wei Yi's face was brilliant, it was not the last time I saw him who couldn't wake up and overindulged, but his eyes were red, revealing a bit of charm, and the whole person was dumbfounded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was very strange.

At first glance, he saw Hongchen, but he showed a little agility, and said with a smile: "What a beauty, if you increase one point, you will be too fat, and if you lose one point, you will be too thin, your skin is like clotted fat, fair and pink, come and come, uncle, I am bored, come and relieve my uncle's boredom!"

Wei Ren: "......"

The cold sweat on his forehead suddenly broke out, and he wanted to rush over and strangle this kid to death.

"He's evil."

Hongchen didn't care about it, and said very seriously.

Wei Ren hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, yes!" ”

It must be evil.

Hongchen shook his head and smiled: "If you look closely, you can see that I'm not joking." As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes and stared at Wei Yi seriously.

Wei Yi lowered his head, looking demented, drooling, as if he had fallen into a dream.

His eldest brother had doubts in his heart, but now that Hongchen said it, the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt, isn't this exactly what he looks like. (To be continued.) )
