Although it is already curfew time, the gate of Qinghe Garden is still full of traffic, and there are luxury carriages in and out, and they are all escorted by guards, and many carriages are also planted with the flags of the princely and princely mansions, and they are all rich and noble who are not subject to the curfew decree.

The shops on the side of the street have closed, and the streets are deserted, but the Qinghe Park is still brightly lit.

Many private rooms in the Qinghe Hotel have diners dressed in brocade robes and costumes drinking and having fun, and the Qinghe Theater next to it is also brightly lit, with the sound of musical instruments playing and babbling singing in the night breeze, and there will be a burst of cheers from time to time.

Regardless of the era, the lives of different classes are completely different.

The life of the aristocracy and the rich was so extravagant that the poor could not have imagined at all.

Not to mention the banquet, just watching a play at the Qinghe Theater is also forty yuan, and a poor family, such as the situation when Chen Xu crossed over, Chen Jiang's family can't earn forty yuan a year, and he can't afford to eat ten yuan a bucket of salt, and as for clothes, the situation in Xiaohe Village is about the same, and it's not much better.

However, in the metropolis of Xianyang, in the era when most of the people in the world were hungry and poorly clothed, there were still poor and luxurious people who wanted to spend all their time and drink, just like in the anti-Japanese era in later generations, the front-line soldiers and the Japanese army fought flesh and blood, but the nightlife in the Guotong area was still drunk and golden.

The rich basically don't care much about the poor.

In fact, in this era, even the emperor doesn't care much about the poor, forces you to farm, forces you to pay taxes, and can't take advantage of the slack to do some small business to subsidize the family, the only thing that can be done is to spin and weave cloth, and the excess grain grown can be sold, but you can't eat enough, who will have excess food?

Therefore, if this situation does not change, the poor will only get poorer and poorer, and a small natural or man-made disaster or illness and death, bankruptcy is the inevitable end of the poor family, and then they will become mountain bandits and outcasts, or be arrested as prisoners or even sold into slavery, and there will be no chance to turn over.

In the Qinghe Hotel, Chen Xu usually entertains VIPs in the Rising Sun Dongsheng Pavilion, crispy roast duck, braised pork, sauce elbow, braised beef and other hotel specialties, and then there are some fresh lotus root fish and shrimp and other side dishes all over the table.

But now, these have only been eaten, there is only soup and water left in many plates, a crispy roast duck is also scattered, only a pair of duck racks remain, and even the duck head and neck have been gnawed clean and stacked in a large plate in front of Meng Yi.

"Hiccup~" Meng Yi gave a big burp, his face was flushed and he leaned back on the back of the chair drunk, his beard and the placket in front of him were full of soup and oil.

"Have you eaten well? Would you like another bottle of wine? Chen Xu also drank with slightly red cheeks and a little drunk, and drank tea with a teacup to sober up.

"No...... Drink it, and then drink it and look for it when you go home...... It's not the door! Although Meng Yi's tongue was a little knotted when he spoke, he seemed to be a little sober.

"Hehe, that's not right, next door to Lord Meng is the mansion of the tall man of the household, I heard that the wife and concubine of the tall man are all young and beautiful and can serve men, isn't it just right that you went to the wrong door!" Chen Xu joked with a smile.

"There are indeed a few charming little ladies in Gaoteng's mansion, and they brought them to my house to play a few days ago, and the old man asked him for it, but he didn't give it, it seems that he can go over the wall tonight......" Meng Yi's eyes lit up and nodded slightly.

Chen Xu shook his hand and the teacup almost fell to the ground, he looked at Meng Yi dumbfounded, opened his mouth a few times and stammered: "Master Meng, you ...... Not seriously, right? ”

"The old man is serious!" Meng Yi nodded vigorously.

It's over, this old rascal is really drunk!

Chen Xu hurriedly stood up and said, "It's getting late now, and I'm full of wine and food at this time, I'll send Master Meng back to my house by car!" ”

"Well, it's okay, you don't even have a beautiful little lady here now, so the old man will leave!" Meng Yi staggered to his feet, his body was crooked and almost knocked over the round table, Chen Xu had to call a few guards to help Meng Yi out of the restaurant and send him to the carriage.

Seeing Meng Yi staggering drunkenly in the carriage, Chen Xu reminded a group of guards in the Meng Mansion to take good care of Meng Yi.

"Don't worry, Master Hou, we will definitely send the master back to the house safely and say goodbye!" The accompanying leader of the guards clenched his fists and said goodbye, and then a group of people escorted Meng Yi out of Qinghe Garden.

invited Meng Yi to drink and eat today, naturally he was also worried that Li Si would secretly sabotage the road construction plan.

Chen Xu didn't think as far as Li Si thought, nor did he think so complicated, he really didn't expect to go to the court to make a small report to the emperor after he caught Li Si and sabotage, and asked Li Si to make a bet, but what he thought was that he must eliminate all difficulties and try his best to repair this road within the time of betting.

But after drinking and eating and talking about his request, Meng Yi blew his beard and glared at him: "Are you stupid, wouldn't it be better for Li Si to sabotage, once you catch Li Si sabotage, wouldn't it be easy for you to win this bet!" ”

Chen Xu thought at the time,, yes, as long as Li Si catches his handle for sabotage, and then stabs him above the court, I am afraid that Li Si's bet will undoubtedly lose, and his character will also drop a lot, and he will inevitably be spurned by the Manchu Dynasty and the people of Xianyang, and he will not be able to raise his head when he walks in the future.

In this era, although the bigwigs have endless conspiracies and tricks, but in general, they are still some rectums, and they like to report in the most direct way if they have hatred and grudges, such as Li Si killed Han Feizi, and directly wrote to the emperor that Han Feizi was plotting against him, such as Meng Yi trampling Zhao Gao to death, but also found conclusive evidence, and directly killed Zhao Gao with evidence, and basically did not secretly set sacks and beat stuffy sticks and other twists and turns.

Because of Meng Yi's reminder, Chen Xu also instantly felt the difference in thinking between himself and Meng Yi, who had lived in the court for a long time, so he was happy, ordered to move a Qinghe wine, and enthusiastically accompanied the rogue old man to drink for nearly an hour, from the beginning of the unitary time to the end of the unitary time, not only drunk Meng Yi, but he also felt that his steps were vain and drunk, and after sending Meng Yi away at this time, he suddenly felt a little top-heavy and unstable.

"Come on, prepare the car and go home!" Chen Xu covered his forehead and ordered.

"Master Hou, you are a little drunk, why don't you just rest in the hotel for a while, and I will ask you to prepare some sour plum soup to sober up?" Huangfu Que cautiously stood next to him and said.

"Sour plum soup ......" Chen Xu suddenly thought of being fed a bowl of sour plum soup by Zhao Zhe in the palace, and he almost slept with Concubine Shu in a daze, and he woke up half of the wine in an instant, glared at Huangfu with palpitations and said, "Tell me honestly, did someone let you do this?" ”

"Huh?" Huangfu's frightened face turned pale and stammered, "Hou ...... Master Hou, you ...... Know...... Know? ”

Holding the grass, Chen Xu was drunk in an instant, frowned, and said with a cold face: "So you really want to harm me?" Come on, arrest the emperor! ”

"Huh~" Several tiger-backed guards rushed up and pressed Huangfu Que to the ground, and the head of the guard choked and pulled out a sharp long knife and shouted angrily on Huangfu Que's neck, "Tell me honestly, who arranged for you to assassinate Hou Ye!" ”

"Hou Ye spared his life, did he want to assassinate Hou Ye, yes...... It was ordered by Fan Niangzi! The cold blade was attached to the skin of his neck, and the emperor's frightened soul flew away and the ghost cried wolf.

"Fan Niangzi...... Fan Caiying? Chen Xu waved his hand to bring up Huangfu Que, "Why did Fan Niangzi let you do this?" ”

"Hou ...... Master Hou, just now you and Master Meng were having a banquet in the restaurant, Fan Niangzi heard that you drank a lot of wine, and she was afraid of an accident when she returned home, so she specially told me to leave Lord Hou to rest and sober up before returning to the house...... "The emperor is not trembling and explaining.

So that's the case, Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly waved his hand to let a group of guards loosen Huang Fu Que, and personally helped Huang Fu Que tidy up his clothes and pat the dirt on his body clean, and said apologetically: "It turns out that Ben Hou blamed you, remember, don't put the three words sour plum soup in front of me in the future!" ”

"Yes, yes, my subordinates will never mention it again!" Huangfu was almost scared out of his urine when he lacked a prescription, and nodded tremblingly and repeatedly.

"Since it was Fan Niangzi's advice, Ben Hou is indeed a little drunk, so I'll rest for a while before leaving!" Chen Xu waved his hand back to the hotel, and when he walked to the door of the hotel, he saw Fan Caiying, who was wearing a plain skirt, and two maids were hurrying out.

"Hou Ye~" Fan Caiying hurriedly knelt down and bowed, "The matter of Fang Cai has nothing to do with the affairs of the emperor, and I also ask the Hou Ye to punish Cai Ying!" ”

"It's okay, you get up, I'm too careful!" Chen Xu stretched out his hand to help Fan Caiying up, then turned his head to Huangfu Que and said, "Help me make a pot of tea and send it to Qingfeng Pavilion!" ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" Huang Fu wiped the sweat on his forehead and hurriedly went to do it himself.

"Master Hou is careful with your feet, Cai Ying will help you!" The horror on Fan Caiying's face instantly turned into surprise, stepped forward to support Chen Xu's arm, and the two balls were full and tightly attached to Chen Xu's body, and the gentle touch made a certain little marquis who was already drunk and stumbling instantly shocked, and a flame in his heart suddenly burned.

Fan Caiying helped Chen Xu to the quiet Qingfeng Pavilion to lie on the couch, instructed the maid to bring warm water, and gently and carefully used wet wipes to help Chen Xu wipe his face and hands, and then took off his shoes and washed his feet.

"Master Hou drank too much today!" Fan Caiying said softly.

"Hmm!" Chen Xu snorted with his eyes slightly closed, this lying down, he suddenly felt that he had indeed drunk too much at night, and he had a feeling of dizziness, but his mind was still clear and not confused, "The construction of this Oriental Road is not only a huge investment, but also extremely complicated, a year is very urgent, if you don't plan carefully, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete, I invite Dr. Meng to a banquet today, just to let him help me keep an eye on Li Si, lest he secretly sabotage my plan!" ”

"It's still Hou Ye thoughtful, and he is indeed afraid that Li Si will secretly sabotage, and it will be much better to have Lord Meng's care!"

"But I guess Li Si may not start, in general, it is up to us, everything is in vain if the road is not repaired, by the way, I wrote something here, you take a look at it first......"

Chen Xu lay on the kang on his back, reached out in a daze and took out a few times in his pocket, but didn't take anything out, looking at the position of Chen Xu's pocket, Fan Caiying's cheeks were crimson and said: "Master Hou, Caiying will help you take it!" ”

Chen Xu was wearing a long shirt, the pocket was on the inside, and it was under the waist, Fan Caiying reached in and touched it, and then her delicate body trembled, feeling that she had touched an indescribable object, and she couldn't help but gently hold it with her hand and pinch it.

"Huh~" The drunken little marquis only felt that a flame was blown up by this gentle pinch, and his eyes suddenly opened, only to see a deep snow-white ravine falling in front of his eyes, gently touching the tip of his nose, and there was also a faint sweetness penetrating into his heart, so he ...... He made the gods stick out his tongue...... Lick it lightly.

"Hmm~" Fan Caiying groaned softly on Chen Xu's body, instantly covering a certain little marquis.

(That one is omitted here...... 30,000 words, all the officials, please make up nine chapters as a plus! ）

At the end of the day, the sky was full of stars, and the lively Qinghe Garden had quieted down, and the rich and noble people who came to drink and watch the play had all dispersed and returned home to rest.

In the Qingfeng Pavilion, where the lights and shadows had been swaying for a long time and quiet for a long time, Chen Xu cleaned up and came out of it, drunk at this time, and his face was full of refreshment.

Behind him, she followed the charming woman with crimson cheeks like peach and plum, and there was a faint spring ripple in her eyes.

"You take the time to take a good look at this plan I wrote, tomorrow I will ask Yang Kun to go to Qianzhuang to find you, you two carefully discuss it to see how this matter is better, if you don't understand, go to the Hou Mansion to ask me, only through the two-pronged approach of fund-raising and mortgage credit, this time can we get enough funds to build the road, and this is a new credit model, the leverage ratio must be controlled, the loans issued cannot exceed the profit limit of the whole road in the next ten years, and the money bank must also prepare sufficient cash, Other aspects of the loan can be temporarily reduced in scale, and all the deposits can be used on this road, otherwise once there are unscrupulous people who cause coaxing, Huaxia Qianzhuang will inevitably go bankrupt, and this matter cannot be disclosed except for Yang Kun, and the people who know it are limited to the shareholders of Qianzhuang, and after the discussion, I will propose it at the shareholders' meeting to prepare for the establishment of a trust investment department and have full authority to dispose of this mortgage trust business......"

On the way out of Qingfeng Pavilion, Chen Xu carefully told Fan Caiying again, and then left Qinghe Park in a car to return home.

And back in the house, Xing'er Yu Ji was already asleep, the lights in the bedroom were swaying, and a lonely figure was still sitting on the couch reading a book and waiting.

Chen Xu sighed.

He is really not a good man, he can't say that he likes the new and hates the old, and he can't say that he sees different things, and his favorite thing in his heart is still this peerless and independent woman, but unfortunately for the charming and mature Fan Caiying, he feels that he can't refuse ruthlessly, just like taking drugs, once, twice, three times, and then slowly sinking into the unparalleled gentleness of the countryside and unable to extricate himself.

And in business, only Fan Caiying can really help herself, just like Yu Wuya said, this woman is a great help for future business development, and no better person can be found to replace her position.

After standing quietly outside the door for a long time, Chen Xu took a deep breath and pushed the door in with a smile on his face: "Lady, I'm back!" ”

"Husband!" The woman on the couch jumped down barefoot in surprise to greet her, and a faint and gentle smile instantly bloomed on her beautiful face, but a trace of sorrow in the depths of her eyes pierced Chen Xu's heart like a needle. (https:)
