and brought out Cui Fuzun to pressure him, is he really obedient to Cui Xiang's order in everything? Xia Xiang was angry in his heart, and it was necessary to knock Liu Xie and the others, so he said coldly: "It is true that this official personally promised Cui Fuzun that the granary and grain planting business would be taken over by the two of you, but he did not promise Cui Fuzun to persuade Ma Yuanwai and Xu Yuanwai to let the two of them transfer the granary and grain planting business to you. Liu Yuanwai, Xie Yuanwai, if you two can't afford the granary and grain business, you don't have to be reluctant, it's really big, and there are many people who have the financial resources to take over. ”

The two of them were directly slapped in the face, and they felt that their faces were gloomy, since the rumors spread that the two of them were countless times richer than Ma Qingyuan and Xu Wangshan, although the two did not publicize it to the public, they were also complacent in their hearts. didn't want to be said by Xia Xianzun as having insufficient financial resources, Xie Huagai couldn't help it at that time: "Xia Xianzun's implication is that Xie and Liu Yuanwai have no money?" Haha, joke, Xie and Liu Yuanwai will have no money? If the two of us have no money, there will be no rich people in the world. ”

"Hehe......" Lian Ruohan smiled, "Xie Yuanwai is arrogant, and he considers himself the richest person in the world, and the little woman admires him." ”

Although Liu Changting also knew that Haojing was always in the firms all over the world, he thought that the business that Haojing Chang was doing was a business that could be put on the bright side with limited profits, far inferior to the exclusive business that he and Xie Huagai operated that were tens or even hundreds of times more profitable, and he believed that even if the whole good situation was always there, it was not as strong as him and Xie Huagai's financial resources.

"Whether you two are rich or not has nothing to do with Ma." Ma Qingyuan saluted Xia Xiang, "Xia Xianzun, there is a lot of trouble, Ma and Xu Yuanwai will leave." The formalities for the granary and the grain growing business have been completed. ”

Xia Xiang knew that Ma Qingyuan was unwilling to say anything more to Liu Changting, and he didn't keep it, even Ruohan got up to say goodbye, and said: "Xia Xianzun, the little girl and Ma Yuanwai and Xu Yuanwai will work together to share the worries of the government and benefit the people. ”

As soon as a few people left, Liu Changting and Xie Huagai also understood that the matter had come to this point, and it was useless to say more, so they had to take the delivery procedures and leave in a huff.

After sending everyone away, Xia Xiang sat alone in the room, enjoying the rare quiet. Lian Ruohan will leave for the capital early tomorrow morning, and he should be back to his leisure home to pack his bags at this moment. Mantuo, Ma Zhanguo, Dong Duan and others have already left for Shile. Ding Ke is organizing a fleet to prepare to salvage Dong Xian's body. Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan began to prepare for a private granary and grain growing business that no longer cooperated with the government, and although Liu Changting and Xie Huagai were extremely dissatisfied, they still took over the granary and grain growing business, but they had to start anew.

After arranging a lot of things, Xia Xiang had nothing to do, it was almost dusk at this time, he practiced calligraphy in the study for a while, read the book for a while, and saw that the sky was dark. Lu Huanhuan came over to take charge of the lamp, and Liu Er came to deliver tea.

Lu Huanhuan and Liu Er are almost the same age, and their height is about the same, but Liu Er is a little plump, with a thin waist and wide hips, and her waist twists when she walks, swinging willows like the wind. Her complexion is white and red, her full body exudes the mature atmosphere of a twenty-eight woman, her long legs are like willows, her hair is like willows, and her neck is like willows.

In contrast, Lu Huanhuan was a little thinner, his face was slightly sallow, and his body was like a bud waiting to be released, and he had not yet shown his vitality. But her facial features are upright, her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and once they bloom, they will definitely be like flowers blooming in the wind, thousands of purples and thousands of reds.

Lu Huanhuan wore a light yellow long skirt, which contrasted with Liu Er's light green long skirt, the two of them were like two shuttled butterflies, beside Xia Xiang, a light Luo small fan to repel mosquitoes, and a red sleeve to add fragrance, and the dark fragrance floated.

"Liu'er, why didn't you go back to live idlely?" At this time, it was late autumn, there were no mosquitoes, Liu Er waved a small fan, it was just a habitual action, Xia Xiang felt that Liu Er was approaching intentionally or unintentionally, and couldn't help but smile secretly, "It's good to have a ring in the county office, you don't have to stay in the county office." ”

"Is Xia Xianzun going to drive Liu'er away?" Liu Er's eyes turned red, and the look of grievance jumped on her face, "Even the lady asked Liu Er to serve Xia Xianzun, where Xia Xianzun went, Liu Er followed him, it is his duty." If Xia Xianzun let Liu'er go back to live idlely, it must be that Liu'er did something bad, which made Xia Xianzun dislike Liu'er. ”

As Liu Er spoke, tears fell, and she saluted Xia Xiangfu: "If Xia Xianzun really dislikes Liu Er, Liu Er will have to live idle." Anyway, Liu Er is already a person of Xia County, and he is allowed to let Xia County's honor fall. ”

Xia Xiang was stunned, Lian Ruohan lent Liu Er to him as a personal ring, and did not say that Liu Er would be given to him. Borrowing and giving are completely different treatments, if there is borrowing, there will be repayment, and if there is giving, there will be no return.

"Liu'er, get up, what did your lady tell you?" Xia Xiang helped Liu Er up, although Yahuan is a subordinate, if she does not sign a death contract, she can also cancel the contract and restore her free body, but if it is a death contract, she will be a slave for life. The Lu family signed a living contract with him, and if they are dissatisfied, they can terminate the contract and leave at any time.

Lu Huanhuan covered his mouth and smiled, and snorted lightly: "Sister Liu'er don't worry about Xia Xianzun, isn't there still me?" I am Xia County's rightful maid in the county government, and I also signed a contract. ”

In his words, he was slightly dissatisfied with Liu Er.

Liu Er stopped her tears, glanced at Lu Huanhuan, and took out a contract from her body: "I also signed a contract with Lian Niangzi, and Lian Niangzi sent me to Xia Xianzun, and there are words to rely on." ”

Xia Xiang took it and couldn't help but smile bitterly, the contract signed by Liu Er and Lian Ruohan was actually a death contract, and Lian Ruohan directly transferred Liu Er and the death contract to him without his permission, that is to say, Liu Er was his lifelong slave.

Thinking about it again, Lian Ruohan knew that Liu'er was bright and colorful, and he had to give him a personal ring, could it be that Lian Ruohan really intended to let him accept Liu'er as a maid ring? I don't know if she asked Liu'er to stay by his side, whether she wanted to pay attention to his every move, or did she want to use Liu'er's eyes to see him clearly?

"Lian Niangzi gave you to Xia Xianzun, it is Lian Niangzi's business, whether Xia Xianzun wants you or not, it is up to Xia Xianzun to decide." Lu Huanhuan instinctively dislikes Liu'er, Liu'er is too charming and bold, and always robs her of the work she should do, and always wants to compete with her for favor, which makes her very dissatisfied, "Xia Xianzun has something to do with Huan'er, Huan'er has done all kinds of work since she was a child, can endure hardships, has eyes, is not squeamish, and does not have many things......"

"What does Huan'er mean is that Liu'er can't endure hardships and has no eyes, which is squeamish and eventful?" Liu Er knew that Lu Huanhuan was dissatisfied with her and squeezed her everywhere, so she finally couldn't help it, and sneered at each other, "Liu Er knew Xia Xianzun earlier than you, and even when the lady sent Liu Er to Xia Xianzun, you didn't come to the county government yet." If you want to say that you come first, you are the one who comes later. Hmph, why did Liu Er come to the county office, and you didn't like Liu Er in everything? Sooner or later, one day, Lian Niangzi married Xia Xianzun, and Liu Er was the dowry girl. ”

"What's so great about the wedding girl, Huan'er will be a room girl in the future." Lu Huanhuan raised his little face, looking proud.

"What's wrong with Tongfangyahuan? If Liu Er wants to be a concubine, she has a higher status than you. "Liu Er is also incomprehensible,-for-tat, "Lian Niangzi married Xia Xianzun, she wants to be a wife, Liu Er is Lian Niangzi's maid, and Lian Niangzi must be willing to carry Liu Er as a concubine." ”

Xia Xiang was taken aback, he was a dignified county honor, he was fought over by two maids, he had no right to speak or choose, what kind of system did he become? Immediately coughed majestically: "Liu'er, Huan'er, don't quarrel between the two of you, the official has no intention of marrying a wife for the time being, and has no intention of taking a concubine, you two should rest early." ”

"Don't worry, Liu Er will keep waiting, I believe that Xia Xianzun will have plans to take a concubine one day." Liu Er decided that Xia Xiang was the support of her life's happiness.

"Huan'er is not in a hurry, Huan'er's family is Xia Xianzun's people, I believe that Xia Xianzun will not treat Huan'er badly." Lu Huanhuan looked even more fearless, but worried about Liu'er, "Liu'er, have you ever thought about one thing, in case Lian Niangzi wants to marry Xia Xianzun, Xia Xianzun doesn't marry, what should you do?" In case Lian Niangzi wants to marry Xia Xianzun, Xia Xianzun reluctantly marries her in desperation, but she is a partial house, what should you do? Also, the best result is that Lian Niangzi married Xia Xianzun, and she is a wife and favored, but Lian Niangzi doesn't want you to be on the throne and doesn't let you be a roommate, what should you do? ”

Lu Huanhuan's series of assumptions made Liu'er's eyes widen and she was almost out of breath, let alone refute, she stood on the spot, stunned for a long time, and suddenly tears fell again: "Xia Xianzun, you have to be the master of Liu'er, Huan'er bullied Liu'er......"

Xia Xiang's head is big, he is majestic in front of people, but in front of the two maids, he can neither be majestic nor vicious, so he can only smile awkwardly: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, I have to talk about things that haven't been shadowed for a long time, and I want to be angry, isn't it asking for trouble?" ”

Fortunately, Xu Heguang's timely appearance relieved Xia Xiang.

Lu Dongdong reported outside the door: "Xia County, Xu County asks to see." ”

Xia Xiang waved his hand and said to Liu'er and Huan'er, "You two go down first." Then he said to Lu Dongdong outside, "Let him in." ”

After a while, Xu Heguang hurriedly came in, he was sweating profusely and his face was anxious, and he asked eagerly: "Xia Xianzun, Liu Yuanwai and Xie Yuanwai went to Cui Fuzun to complain, saying that Xia Xianzun and Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan used the transfer of the granary and grain planting business to blackmail them, and Cui Fuzun was very displeased. ”

Cui Fuzun is very displeased? He's still very unhappy! Xia Xiang was not angry, and his face sank: "The official thinks that Liu Changting and Xie Huagai are people who know the general situation, and they don't want to not only be careful, but also so unreasonable, and the granary and grain business will be taken over by the two, I'm afraid it will not be a long-term solution." ”

Xu Heguang was dissatisfied when he learned that Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan did not transfer the granary and grain business, and later after he helped Lian Ruohan, Xu Wangshan, and Ma Qingyuan complete the formalities, he hurriedly went to the government office and reported to Cui Xiang that Lian Ruohan had joined Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan's granary and grain business.

Cui Xiang smiled faintly when he heard this, and didn't think that Lian Ruohan's addition could change anything, Cui Xiang also told Xu Heguang that the competition with Lian Ruohan's good times can only be behind the scenes, not on the bright side, and Lian Ruohan is not his opponent, on the contrary, there is some origin. Xu Heguang was puzzled and wanted to ask clearly, but Cui Xiang didn't say more, just said that he would do it.

Xu Heguang also told Cui Xiang that his Guangjin Commercial Bank was diverted a lot of customers by several inns in good times, and if he did not stop the expansion of good times, Guangjin Commercial Bank would be in danger of being defeated by good times. Cui Xiang still smiled disapprehantly, so that Xu Heguang didn't have to be shocked, although Haojing Changzai opened several inns, restaurants and tea shops in Zhending, but his ambition was not in Zhending, so there was no need to compete with Haojingchang in everything, it was completely unnecessary.

Xu Heguang couldn't understand why Cui Fuzun was very attentive to Xia Xiang's affairs, and he took it to heart everywhere, but he deliberately avoided the good times, could it be that Cui Fuzun and the good times always had something to do with it? Or is it that Cui Fuzun fell in love with Lian Ruohan and intended to raise his noble hand to show his goodwill? If this is the case, he will definitely ask Xu Qijie to clean up Cui Fuzun.

Cui Fuzun is a well-known fear of guilt, and he has three fears in his life, one is afraid of dismissal, two is afraid of dismissal, and three is afraid of Xu Qijie. Xu Qijie is Xu Heguang's sister, ranked seventh, known as Seventh Sister, with a pungent temperament, when she married Cui Fuzun, Cui Fuzun had just lost his wife. Xu Qijie's cheerfulness and generosity comforted Cui Fuzun's wounded heart and made Cui Fuzun deeply dependent on her. Sister Xu Qi also thought carefully and thoughtfully about everything, and took care of Cui Fuzun very well.

Soon after, Xu Qijie showed her fierce side, taking care of Cui Fuzun and managing him even more obediently. Cui Fuzun resisted a few times at the beginning, but he could not escape the clutches of Xu Qijie, and finally had to accept his fate and laugh at him as Cui Jichang.

There was a ranger named Chen Jichang in Huangzhou, Daxia, who was fond of drinking and swordsmanship when he was young, spending money like dirt, and not good at studying, so he did not get fame. Because of his rich family background, the place where he lives in Longqiu is called Maojin Pond, which is spacious and gorgeous. And he himself is very hospitable, like to "accumulate sound prostitutes", whenever a guest comes, he will feast guests with singing and dancing.

However, his wife, Liu, was very fierce and jealous, and whenever Chen Ji often feasted and accompanied him with a singer, Liu was so jealous that she hit the wall with a stick, and the guests were so embarrassed that they had to disperse. Because Chen Jichang likes to talk about Buddhism, he calls himself a Longqiu layman, and later Lianche borrowed the lion's roar to mock the angry scolding of his fierce wife, and made a long poem entitled "Send Wu Deren and Jian Chen Jichang", which has these few sentences: "Longqiu monks are also pitiful, and they talk about empty talk and have sleepless nights." Suddenly, I heard the roar of the lion in Hedong, and the cane fell into the palm of my hand at a loss. ”

Cui Fuzun compares himself to Cui Jichang, obviously reluctantly accepting the fact of his wife, and has no heart to resist.

Although Xu Heguang thought about it, he also knew that Cui Fuzun was a five-rank official of the imperial court, and if he was promoted one step further, he would enter the ranks of the big members, and his sister would marry him, which could be regarded as a high climb. What's more, Cui Fuzun is a member of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and he is a high-ranking family, if he really annoys him, he has to divorce his wife in anger, which is also troublesome.

But Cui Fuzun didn't allow him to compete with Haojing Chang in the Ming Place, he didn't think so, no matter how powerful Lian Ruohan was, could he still do whatever he wanted in Zhending? The true determination is Cui Fuzun's true determination, not Lian Ruohan's true determination, nor Xia Xiang's true determination.

Of course, Xu Heguang also understands that strictly speaking, the true determination is not Cui Fuzun's true determination, but the true determination of the three princes!

At present, the four major families have come to Zhending, and what they are trying to do is not to fancy the central geographical location of Zhending, which can go north to the capital and retreat, and can go south to Tokyo and Quanzhou? The three princes are really setting the layout, and the plan is even more far-reaching. Xu Heguang didn't dare to guess what game the third prince wanted to play in Zhending, but he was sure of one thing, the third prince was bound to win Zhending!

After Liu Changting and Xie Huagai came out of the county government, they went directly to the government office, and when they saw Cui Xianghao, they complained about their grievances, and kept saying that Xia Xiang, Xu Wangshan, and Ma Qingyuan colluded to make a fortune from it. The granary and grain planting that are only 50,000 guan dare to ask for 500,000 guan, and Xia Xiang said that he can't take 200,000 guan from it.

Cui Xiang always looked calm, and when Liu Changting and Xie Huagai finished speaking, he said his opinion unhurriedly, whether Xia Xiang wanted to seek personal gain from it for the time being, if there was real evidence, he would join Xia Xiang, and it was not impossible to keep Xia Xiang lose his official position and be imprisoned and killed. It is only said that the granary and grain planting Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan ask for too high a price, so they can not take over their granary and grain planting, and the new construction is not a great event.

Xu Heguang was indignant, saying that Xia Xiang didn't take Cui Fuzun in his eyes at all, three things, Dong Xian's murder case, the granary and grain planting business, and the selection of the main bookkeeper, in addition to his hypocrisy and grievances in the granary and grain business, Dong Xian's murder case and the candidate for the main bookkeeper were completely self-determined, and he didn't care about Cui Fuzun's thoughts at all.

Cui Xiang originally pretended to be generous, and didn't want to worry too much about Xia Xiang, after all, he was the respect of a government and ruled four counties, and Xia Xiang was only the magistrate of one of the counties. As the prefect, although he is Xia Xiang's direct boss, it is inconvenient for him to interfere in the political affairs of Zhending County. But after Liu Changting, Xie Huagai and Xu Heguang repeatedly discussed Xia Xiang's wrongdoing, he was inevitably angry in his heart. Although he also knew that what Xia Xiang did was an internal matter and the authority of a county magistrate, Xu Heguang repeatedly emphasized that Xia Xiang's actions were intentionally against him, and he couldn't help but have more suspicions.

At this time, a letter came from the capital.

Cui Xiangyi was surprised when he saw the letter, he was very familiar with the handwriting on the letter, it was written by the prime minister Hou Pingpan!

Cui Xiang did not shy away from the presence of several people, immediately opened the letter, only glanced at it a few times, and immediately stood up, his face was full of surprise!
