After coming out of the Lin family, Li Mingshuo's master and servant rushed back to their homes non-stop, first telling their mother that Yang Boqing had promised to settle it for them, but there was still a little less silver taels on the tariff, and he withdrew another thousand taels of silver from his mother, and then came to a three-in, three-out house that Lin Keli had seen a few days ago, although the house was deserted, it was very spacious and elegant, and the flowers and trees in it were also very interesting, and the furniture was relatively complete.

The owner of this house is said to have been originally a Beijing official, and he was demoted to a foreign official when he was bad, and the house was also entrusted to Fang Yazi to sell out, in order to survive the famine, because Lin Keli's bid was too low, and the deal was not reached, Li Mingshuo looked at it very heartily, and he was always reprimanded by his mother when he went home in those days, and the princess was always made difficult by the princess's nurse. Looking at the ocean and sighing.

Li Mingshuo is now a father who has a hard time, he has money to spend, he found the fangzi, paid in full for eight hundred taels of silver, and immediately got a full set of keys, and the master and servant entered the courtyard for a stroll, and saw that the table was clean, the ground was clean, and there was no sense of decadence as if someone had been living there, and the mood was particularly comfortable.

Li Moge asked, "Master, what are we buying this house for?" Do you manage your finances? ”

Li Mingshuo glared and said disdainfully: "What kind of wealth?" This house is now my private club, and tonight, my son will hold a banquet here to entertain Yang Boqing and Yang Shilang and his old man. ”

"You don't have to buy such a big house to entertain him? Let's go to the restaurant and open a private room. It's a big deal that you open the biggest private room. ”

"You know what, is the privacy of a private room good? What if the partition wall has ears, or is it a clairvoyant? ”

"Then you can't buy it, and renting it for a day or two is cheaper than buying it, right?"

"Poor, pathetic." Li Mingshuo patted Li Moge's shoulder, shook his head and sighed: "You kid is really poor with me, you have a narrow vision, and you don't have any association ability at all." ”

Li Moge asked "respectfully": "Then please ask the master to make it clear." ”

Li Mingshuo reminded mysteriously: "Aren't you known as enlightenment in the Lin family today?" What have you been covered? ”

Li Moge remembered the enlightenment he received in Lin Keli, his mouth opened wide in surprise, and his eyes were about to pop out: "No, master, is it possible that you want to hide Jiao in the golden house?" ”

Li Mingshuo patted his chest triumphantly, where Yang Boqing's account book was placed, and chanted: "There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and now that the golden house is in place, it will be worse than Yan Ruyu." ”

"Master, I take the liberty of asking, which Oiran of Goolan Courtyard do you have a crush on, have I ever seen it?" Li Moge looked like he admired his master with a sly face.

Li Mingshuo looked at Li Moge's smiling dog-legged face, angry and happy, and scolded: "Does the girl I fancy have anything to do with you?" Hurry up and find me a pair of paper and pencils, I want to write an invitation to Yang Boqing. Later, you will send him over, and on the way back, go to the restaurant to order a table of good wine and food, and send it here in the evening, I will not go anywhere today, just wait for him here, I want to think about how to negotiate this deal. ”

It is said that in the afternoon of the same day, Yang Boqing went to the study to deal with the official documents, and found that the shady account book was gone, although he never put that terrible thing everywhere, but he still had the slightest hope to rummage through the cabinets and corners of the search, and finally did not find it.

He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his underwear was so wet that his heart was cold, and he was about to pull the servants who were waiting around the study to ask who had come in, and Li Moge's post was delivered.

Yang Boqing forcibly held back the trembling of his fingers, opened the invitation, and saw that the invitation card read: "Brother Eun Cheng's personal examination: the foolish brother got a strange book today, with many numbers and few Chinese characters, similar to the book of heaven, I can't read it, so I ordered the servants to prepare a table for a banquet, and set up a banquet in the No. 4 residence of Luohua Lane. ”

Knowing the whereabouts of the ledger, Yang Boqing first breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but scold: "Li Mingshuo, you are a thief of chickens and dogs." ”

Li Mingshuo sneezed in his new home, rubbed his nose, and said with a smile: "It must be Yang Boqing's old boy who is scolding me." Hehe. ”

In the evening, Yang Boqing took his henchman Tian Geng to Li Mingshuo's inaccessible "cold house" to attend the banquet, Li Moge led them to the front hall, Li Mingshuo greeted him with a smile and saluted Yang Boqing, Boqing also returned the salute with a "spring breeze", and each other looked very affectionate as brothers who had been reunited for a long time, and they couldn't wait to tear each other apart in private.

Boqing sat down, and Mo Ge hurriedly arranged the banquet, took out all kinds of dishes from the food box sent by the restaurant and put them on the table, and Tian Geng started.

Bo Qing looked around the room, and saw that there was no one else walking back and forth in this room, only two pairs of master and servant were here, and couldn't help but wonder, and asked Li Mingshuo: "Is this house your own?" Why is it so cold, I didn't even know you had such a quiet place. ”

Li Mingshuo poured wine for Yang Boqing, and said happily: "A few days ago, I opened a gambling game with someone in the Jiaofang Division, and won a few hundred taels of silver, and the person didn't give me any cash, so he took this house to pay off the debt, I thought it was quite cost-effective, so I smiled, I just got the key today, I didn't expect it to come in handy immediately, Brother Eun Cheng is the first guest since I stayed in this house, am you surprised?" Not surprised? Hehehehehe. ”

Bo Qing pretended to be surprised and said: "The master of the horse is really lucky, if you said so earlier, I would definitely come over with a congratulatory gift to warm your home, but as the saying goes, gambling is not persuaded to prostitution, gambling is a bottomless pit business, and it is easy to become addicted. ”

Li Mingshuo toasted a toast, and the two of them drank it all, only then did they look at Yang Boqing with a smile, and answered with a hidden wit: "We are a casino passer-by, and our luck is only one time at a time, and it is not as good as Brother Eun Cheng's flowing water, your sum is thousands of taels of silver, the foolish brother sees it in his eyes, and he is jealous in his heart, they are all men, why are you so good at supporting your family, why am I so poor that there are only two eggs left in my pants, dangling, and jingling?" ”

Yang Boqing smiled awkwardly, poured Li Mingshuo a glass of wine in turn, and pretended to comfort: "Didn't Master Ma get a strange book recently?" You can sell it to me for a fortune. ”

Li Mingshuo sneered and corrected: "I didn't expect those pages to make any money, I just hope that my father can get through this difficult time and be safe and sound." Between money and my parents, I still chose my parents to be safe without hesitation. ”

Yang Boqing lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "The master of the horse is a filial piety, can be a model for the world, if I am wise to protect my life, God will also be angry with me, please rest assured, when I go home, I must quickly write a letter to the emperor, Yang would rather offend the traitor, lose this black hat, but also protect Lord Zun a thorough." ”

"Brother Eun Cheng, with your words, my heart is really relieved, come, foolish brother will give my brother another glass of wine."

Yang Boqing drank this glass of wine, and asked tentatively: "Doesn't Master Ma want to appreciate it with the foolish brother Qiwen?" Let's take advantage of the fact that there is little wine now, and our brains are still quite clear, so let's take a look, shall we? ”

Li Mingshuo said something lightly, almost making Yang Boqing so angry that he vomited blood.

He lowered his eyelids and muttered, "I put it at home over there, and I didn't take it to my other courtyard." ”

Yang Boqing pulled his neck and swallowed this evil breath hard, and simply opened the skylight and said brightly: "Brother Qianqian, I admit that I am not a big Qing official with clean sleeves, but I will always do what I promise others, if I have only one advantage in my whole body, and being true to my word is my only advantage." ”

Li Mingshuo pouted and said officially: "The words are true, but you still have to have the appearance of doing a transaction to make a transaction, and you still need to pay attention to the set of deposits and final payments." You've paid all the price I wanted, so I can get you what you want. ”

"How to pay attention to the deposit and final payment of the horse master? The foolish brother doesn't quite understand, and he wants to hear about it. ”

"This balance is my father's official position is stable, this is a big head, it is expected that you will not be able to manage it in a day or two, when will I receive the news that my father is in danger and safe and sound, this balance payment is considered that you have paid off, and the balance is paid, I will return this account book to you, please rest assured, if I break my promise, I am afraid that your friends will not let me live in peace."

"And how to pay attention to the deposit?"

Li Mingshuo glanced at Mo Ge and motioned for him to take Tian Geng outside, and Mo Ge hurriedly asked Tian Geng to go outside to listen to the call.

Seeing that the two subordinates avoided going out, Li Mingshuo smiled sheepishly, approached Yang Boqing, and said with a smile: "Actually, this deposit is really not a big deal, it's just that I am more anxious in my heart, and I want to take something from you in advance to comfort myself, I believe that you will definitely be able to start work after you go home, which can be regarded as a little sincerity expressed by your buyers to our sellers." Hehe. ”

Yang Boqing breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Well, naturally it's easy to say, I see that the new home of the horse master is very cold, the furniture is dilapidated, and the servants have not yet been equipped, I will send someone to send a congratulatory gift tomorrow, the horse master is also more spacious, the items should be purchased, the next person should be hired, and the one who should be bought, no matter how good the house is, it must be prosperous to be vibrant." ”

"What Brother Huan Cheng said is, it's just that the deposit I asked you for is not silver-----" Li Mingshuo pinched his tone and deliberately sold Guanzi

"It's not silver, what kind of -------- is that" Yang Boqing looked at Li Mingshuo nervously.

"It's a girl from your family."

Yang Boqing was puzzled: "Master Horse, do you have a crush on which girl in our family?" ”

Li Mingshuo shook his head and said: "No, no, no, this person is neither the girl of your family, nor the master of your family, but a guest living in your house." ”

Yang Boqing had already guessed who it was, but he was still incredulous, and confirmed: "Is it my brother's sweetheart, the girl who lives in our house to cure foot diseases?" ”

Li Mingshuo smiled slightly and admitted: "Yes, it's her." ”

Yang Boqing said worriedly: "But this girl Wan is my brother's sweetheart, the two children are in love, like glue, you want to snatch love, don't say that my brother will not agree, and the girl may not be willing." ”

Li Mingshuo began to play a scoundrel: "It doesn't matter if she wants to or not, let's get it first." People like us, do we do less to take advantage of it? I don't believe that Brother Eun Cheng has always been elegant and dignified. ”

"Master Horse, it's not that I shirk you, you have also heard of what happened to the parents of this ten thousand girls, I often think: there must be a mother and a daughter, this mother's temperament is so big, this daughter's temperament must not be small, if you are clever and robberous, you can also take people away, but then, will this girl let you have a stop life, who are you when this girl comes to you? Slave or concubine? What about the princess? ”

"Brother Eun Cheng, you are too worried, brother, I am a master of Ao Ying's horse taming, no matter how fierce the horse is, it can be tamed in my hands, not to mention a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, I have eaten more salt than she has eaten rice. Brother Tai should think more about himself, if tomorrow night in my house still does not see the shadow of Wan Girl, anxiety, I may not be able to control myself, send the book to the princess, let the princess report to the emperor, maybe the emperor read my report meritorious, and will pardon my father's guilt, but even if it is not pardoned, our family is a relative of the emperor, according to Brother Eun Cheng, there should be no worries about life, but your Yang Mansion up and down, the future of the family is worrying. ”

At this moment, Yang Boqing couldn't wait to slash the rooster and dog thief in front of him with a knife, he sneered, put a small spoon of fried fresh bamboo shoots in his mouth, chewed it through gritted teeth, and muttered indistinctly: "Tomorrow night?" Brother Trace is really trying to force me and my brother to turn against each other! ”

"Brothers are better than yin and yang, right? The former still has a chance to reconcile, while the latter has nothing. Li Mingshuo always looked like a smile.
