Ding Xiaoer agreed yes and turned around and went out. After a while, the gentleman walked in with the account book in one hand and an abacus in the other. When you enter the door, please say hello to Miss Hongcui. Hongcui asked Mr. to sit down and report the bill directly. After all, she doesn't know how to read, and she can read in vain, but she can still understand it.

The gentleman opened yesterday's account book and was about to read the accounts one by one, when he heard a cry outside the door, and then a woman staggered in. Hongcui looked up, but the woman was Qingsi. Seeing that her hair was unkempt and her face was red and swollen, Hongcui had already guessed most of it. She waved her husband away, stood up and greeted Qingsi and said, "Sister, sit down, what's wrong?" Who bullied us? Just tell my sister that I will find someone to remove his leg and slap her mouth. ”

Qingsi sat down crying and said, "I told you, and you can't help her." She is none other than my fourth aunt. ”

Hongcui said angrily: "Who should I be, it's just an aunt, how capable is it." But you're also an aunt, and she's also an aunt, what are you afraid of her doing? As soon as she slaps you, you reply to her two, and you can't beat her? ”

Qingsi said angrily: "It would be nice if I could fight, my sister is not the master who is beaten for nothing." But in our house, there is no mistake in the upper and lower ranks. She is older than me, so I have to listen to others, and if I can't fight back, I can't scold back, but I'm embarrassed to death. ”

Hongcui sighed deliberately and said, "Since that's the case, my sister doesn't have any good ideas. It's not that I said, my sister is outstanding, how can she be angry at his house? ”

Qingsi replied: "My sister is at odds again. Think about it, my sister is getting older day by day, do you want to stay in Lichun Courtyard for the rest of her life. Sooner or later, I have to get married. Entering such a family, the sisters of Lichun Yuan don't know how much to envy me. But I could not speak these words to them. ”

Hongcui poured a cup of tea for Qingsi. He also said: "That being said, my sister is going to be so aggrieved for the rest of her life." Sister, I can't stand such grievances. Depending on my nature, I'd rather find a rich family to be my stepfamily. ”

Hearing this, Qingsi was quite tempted, but how could there be such a suitable master for a while. Hongcui observed her words, guessed her thoughts, smiled, and said, "Don't hide it from my sister, I happen to have such a master by my side." He's been liking his sister for a long time. I haven't been able to find an opportunity. Although it is not as powerful as your master's family, it is also a wealthy businessman in Jiangsu. A few years ago, my mother-in-law got sick and died, and she was looking for a steproom to go home to. I recommended my sister, and he took a fancy to her and tried his best to do this good thing. But I don't know my sister's thoughts, so I don't dare to speak. Seeing my sister's sadness today, I had to speak out and hug my sister. This rich businessman is very rich, but he is older, and he is almost sixty this year. ”

Qingsi groaned, "It seems to be a little older. ”

Hongcui smiled. And said, "My sister is so stupid and cute. Could it be that my sister really likes him? My sister married him, what is the picture? My sister wants to come. How many days can a bad old man live? At that time, my sister was the head of the family, and Nuoda's property was not all my sister's?"

It is worthy of the red emerald of the brocade heart. In just a few words, Qingsi's mind was moved. She frowned, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, my sister is not as smart as your sister." However, I am afraid that this will not be possible. Today I am not the same as the situation in Lichun Courtyard that day, it is very difficult to go out. I think I've been so aggrieved all my life. ”

Hongcui said, "Not necessarily. As long as my sister does what I say. I'll marry you to this rich merchant. ”

Qingsi was surprised: "What good way does my sister have?" ”

At this moment, Hongcui deliberately played tricks. Pouted and said, "Sister, drink tea, the tea is cold." ”

At this time, Qingsi didn't have the heart to drink tea, and urged: "Sister quickly say the law, after the matter is completed, I can't forget my sister's kindness." ”

Hongcui approached and bowed her head and whispered a few words to Qingsi. I saw that Qingsi's face became more and more solemn, and finally frowned and said, "I'm afraid this matter is difficult." My lord has nothing to say, but just like that girl, you know, but who can see the arrogant master? ”

Hongcui smiled: "What is my sister worried about? I just need you to move your master, and my sister will arrange other things. What the are you doing with that idleness? ”

Hongcui said so, what else is there to say about Qingsi. Besides, she herself has nothing to lose, it's just a matter of saying a word or two. After that, a large amount of wealth fell on his head, and he had a lifelong basis for the rest of his life, so what did he do with so much? Thinking about it this way, Qingsi agreed with all her might. The two talked speculatively, had dinner at the pawnshop, and drank two glasses of wine, and then Qingsi left happily.

In the evening, Qingsi dressed up and fiddled with her daughter's tenderness and waited for the master to come back. On this day, Feng Guangcai had nothing to do, and drank a few glasses of wine with a few bureaucrats in the 'Drunken Immortal Building', and talked about some interesting things between men, and then he went home. As soon as he returned to the house, he went straight to Qingsi's room.

Qingsi had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw the master, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her change clothes. Feng Guangcai was originally drunk, and today he saw that Qingsi was becoming more and more charming, so he had to have a fun time.

After tossing for a little half of the night, I was ready to go to bed. Qingsi lay in Feng Guangcai's arms, stroked his hair, and asked softly, "Master, is Qingsi serving well?" ”

Feng Guangcai was tired for half a night, drowsy, and snorted.

Qingsi asked again: "But there are people who are better than Qingsi, but the master doesn't know it." ”

Feng Guangcai asked in a sullen voice: "I heard that you are the first wonderful person in Beijing, how can there be better?" ”

Qingsi scratched his nose and said angrily: "The master is talking nonsense with his eyes closed." There is a person in Lichun Courtyard who is better than Qingsi. ”

Feng Guang knew that she was referring to Wanru, and sighed: "Just like a girl, but ordinary people can get involved?" I've heard people say that all the people who are secretly looking for it are the princes and ministers, and even the princes. Master, I have a bad reputation lately, don't be caught by them, it's just not good-looking. ”

Qingsi smiled: "The master is also cautious, with Qingsi pulling the string, what are you afraid of?" ”

Feng Guangcai was overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged Qingsi and said, "Good girl, you have to do this, how can I thank you?" ”

That day. Gonggong Xia was ordered to reprimand Feng Guangcai, and after that. Return to the palace. Emperor Qianlong wanted to ask for an answer, and the answer was naturally discussed by the two. Very thoughtful. thinks of Emperor Qianlong today, but he has just reached thirty, but he is young and vigorous. In addition, he has just ascended the throne, and he has great ambitions to rectify corrupt officials and corrupt officials. This time, Zhang Jixian played, although it was a rumor, but it was indispensable to ask questions.

On the second day, when he went to court again, the emperor left Feng Guangcai alone. Scold in person. This Feng Guangcai is not in vain to be called the 'smiling tiger', and he is a straight slave on his lips who should be damned, and he looks like he admits his grudges and endures his grievances. When Emperor Qianlong saw this, he was surprised, and then asked, "Have you embezzled the public bank in the palace?" I've heard that you benefited a lot from it last autumn. ”

This Feng Guangcai took retreat as advance, knelt down and said: "What the master asks." The slave can't hide it from the master, and in the autumn of last year, there were two protégés from their hometowns. Worship in the minion's door. The minions also asked about their knowledge, and felt that it was also a material that could be made, and they were happy to accept some of the local products brought by their hometown. Minions deserve to die. They should not be given gifts, and the slaves are willing to punish them for half a year and accept the punishment of their masters. ”

Emperor Qianlong originally asked. Be vigilant first. This reprimand saw that he voluntarily fined him for half a year. It was very harsher than his punishment, and he had to wave his hand. said: "That's it, just deal with it." ”

After the morning court, the palace maid served refreshments, Qianlong took a sip, ate a little, and thought about going to Changchun Garden for a walk. Then I thought about it, although Changchun Garden was spacious and the flowers and trees were uneven, there was no beauty to accompany him, and he couldn't do it as a pastime. I went to Lichun Courtyard that day, and I saw a girl who was like a celestial person, and we chatted very happily. If you don't see it at this time, what's the fun?

After thinking about it for a while, I was always bored. At this time, I suddenly heard a report that Yin Jishan came to see the driver. Emperor Qianlong and Li Wei were originally friends when they were teenagers, Li Wei was unrestrained, but he was not that ordinary thing. Qianlong ordered to come in.

When I looked up, I saw a white-faced scholar with a square forehead and a big mouth coming in. He kowtowed to Emperor Qianlong to say goodbye, and Emperor Qianlong absentmindedly asked a few official words. Yin Jishan saw that his master was not in good spirits, so he carefully asked how the Holy Communion was? This is asking Qianlong's itch, and he said: "Recently, the weather has been dry and dry, and the false fire has risen. Li Wei, let me ask you, I heard that you have received a lot of incorruptible silver in the area of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, but is there such a thing? ”

Yin Jishan's answer was not ambiguous: "When did the slave hide this silver from his master?" These women are doing what they do, and they are earning for nothing, so it is better to hand them over to the government and do something that benefits the country and the people. ”

Qianlong nodded while listening, and finally a smile appeared on his face, and he boasted: "You can also manage money?" Suddenly, he changed the topic and asked with a smile: "As the saying goes, there are many beauties in the Jiangnan area, so you must have been contaminated there, right?" ”

Yin Jishan kowtowed again: "There are occasional prostitutes, and I ask the master for forgiveness." ”

Qianlong raised his hand and said, "Forgive what? Is there any Yanagi Hui in this world? It's just that because of the official style, it's better to cover it up. ”

Yin Jishan replied, the master taught us. It turned out that when Qianlong asked this, he was also looking for a step down for himself. Seeing that Yin Jishan was not good enough to observe his words, he couldn't help but point again: "I have nothing to do today, but I don't have anything to do." ”

Yin Jishan came to his senses at this time, bowed down and asked in a low voice, "Where does the master want to go?" How about the minions leading the way? ”

Qianlong smiled and didn't answer, and after a while, he replied: "You and I change our clothes and go lightly." If someone asks me, you reply to them and say that you have gone to understand the people's feelings. ”

Yin Jishan naturally replied yes.

Qianlong changed into light clothes, was familiar with the road, and went straight to Lichun Courtyard. Mother Xiao saw the red boy who had spent a lot of money before, and the smile on her face was about to fall to the ground. She enthusiastically pulled the red boy over and made a lot of affection: "Oh, the red boy, how long has it been since I saw you, and I still forgot my family when you still have it?" ”

Hong Gongzi also coped with it easily, and still threw the silver for Xiao's mother to prepare the wine and food, but he wanted to drink with Wanru. Xiao's mother saw the silver and naturally agreed.

After a while, Xiao's mother prepared a table of exquisite wine and food, Hong Gongzi and Wanru sat aside, but Yin Jishan stood behind Hong Gongzi. As if the heart was like a way, the people who followed the emperor should also be favored ministers, and couldn't help asking: "Who is this master?" (To be continued......)
