The night is quieter, the fragrance of rice is intoxicating, and in the sound of frogs, mixed with the whispers that make people blush heartbeatly. The moon's eyes widened shamelessly, focusing on the boat, peering through the cracks in the cabin. Ma Xianglan prostrate on Fan Jin, eating and laughing, "One or two silver, I voted for a five-grade official and a talent, this business is enough!" Looking at the southeast, I think there is anyone else who can compare to the old lady's business! ”

Fan Jin hugged her and said angrily: "Don't talk about this yet, if I didn't use the Yijin Sutra to help you, you would have vomited me." I'll help you spit out the wine. ”

"It's such a toss, the wine is gone with the sweat, and there is no wine to come out." Ma Xianglan smiled and took a bite on Fan Jin's chest, "Wu'er is so blessed, she found a man who is not only talented and good-looking, but also so powerful, she will have to enjoy it in the future." I'll use one or two pieces of silver in exchange for you to accompany you once, everyone is just a deal, and when you turn around, forget about it, and don't tell Wu'er, lest she laugh at you. ”

Fan Jin said: "Don't talk about that, how are you feeling now?" ”

"I voted for a five-grade official, and my heart is much better. No wonder you men like to come to Qinglou when they encounter unhappy things, which can really make people feel better. The sullenness along the way has almost dissipated. Joyfully! ”

"It's good if you're happy. Come, lie down with me. ”

Ma Xianglan obediently lay beside Fan Jin and said: "I have had many men, but in order to make me happy, you are willing to wear a daughter's costume to dance and sing songs to make me happy, and you are still the first." For this reason, it is worth me to accompany you once. But remember, our fate is here, after dawn we are still good friends, no other thoughts. ”

Fan Jin hugged her waist and reminisced about the taste of Fangcai. A woman who is good at dancing, the strength of her waist and legs is far from being comparable to those ladies, and the joy skills she has practiced are really a gift. He smiled and said, "The taste of Fang Cai is not something that can be forgotten. You have no strength, I won't deceive you, let's talk, this time Jiangning is so chaotic, you go to Suzhou to take refuge, right? Huang Jien and Feng Bangning have never troubled you. ”

Ma Xianglan and Fan Jin are like this, not only because of their low mood and emotional catharsis, but also because they can't control themselves after drinking alcohol. Now that the alcohol has gone eight points, the mood has gradually calmed down, reason has overcome feelings again, and there is some regret in my heart. Whether this step can really be taken back, no one can say. The only way is to let each other take this matter very lightly, so they turned around, turned their backs to Fan Jin, and deliberately laughed exaggeratedly:

"Looking for trouble? When a man finds trouble with a woman, will the old lady be afraid? Those two rice buckets, the old lady turned them into slugs in three or two clicks. Feng Bangning only went to scare those little girls who had never seen the world, and if they dared to attack me, I would squeeze him dry! Don't worry, he's looking for a big girl who hasn't come out of the cabinet, and he can't look down on what others have used, so he's not interested in me. Because of Wu'er's matter, I offended Huang Gongzi. But there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger here in Jiangning, and there are people behind me, and he doesn't dare to do anything, just let some people not come to me. It's just a matter of making less money, nothing. I warn you, don't think about being a hero or something, I don't need it. ”

Fan Jin snorted, "If I release Shangyuan County this time, I have the responsibility to maintain the place, at least in my territory, and he is not allowed to mess around like in the past." You...... Come to Shangyuan, I will protect you. ”

Ma Xianglan's heart trembled, her laughter was still the same, but her tears were already flowing freely. Her situation is naturally not as easy as she said, this time she went to Suzhou, and she also told Wang Zhideng about Feng Bangning's evil deeds. The latter has no other meaning than to express his feelings.

She didn't get angry with Wang Zhideng because of this, after all, Wang was just a scribe, and it was unlikely that he could control Feng Bangning. But after all, the two got along, and from a woman's point of view, she naturally hoped to find a man who could protect or was willing to protect herself. From beginning to end, this long-time lover has never said or even thought about protecting himself and allowing himself to take refuge in the royal gate. And the man next to the pillow, at best, only has a night of fun, and he wants to protect himself?

She held back her tears and forced a few laughs, "You protect me? Haha, I heard Wu'er say that you are a talented man, but I didn't expect it to be a chick. Don't you think I'm going to marry you like this, right? Who is the old lady? I've seen a lot of winds and waves, but I'm bored tonight, just find a man to accompany me, you take the money, I have to be happy, fair trade, don't think too much. My Youlan Pavilion is opened in Jiangning County, and the taxes are also paid in Jiangning, even if you have the power of Taiyue Xianggong, you can't cross the line. If you become an official, you can't go to the Youlan Pavilion to play, and the county officials are not allowed to go out of their own management boundaries, otherwise they will be beheaded. It's a big deal to wait for your hard days, send someone to bring me a letter, and I will read the old love tonight, and patronize you once......"

"Siniang, listen to me, I'm serious. I'll go over there and say that she is a reasonable person, and she won't really blame you for this kind of thing. I can't have only one wife and one concubine in my family, I have to enter people after all. I didn't intend to destroy the relationship between you and Wang Bogu, but I don't want to see you suffer yourself so much. It would be best for you and Wang Bogu to have results, but looking at him like this now, I think the two of you will be like this in this life. I can...... Don't make you so sad. ”

"I ...... Where am I sad? Sniffling, he couldn't let the other party hear that he was choking, and before Fan Jin's hand touched his face, Ma Xianglan had already quickly wiped away her tears. After many years of joyful career, I have long practiced the ability to laugh when I want to, and I laughed a few times"

"I lied to you just now. The routine of you men tricking girls into undressing, the old lady will do it. You see, isn't this just pretending to be sad and tricking you into accompanying me? Otherwise, a great talent like you, how could I get it so easily. My relationship with Bogu is very good, and for a few days in Suzhou, the two of us are in love. Any concubine begging for a small child is all a lie to you, only a little guy like you can believe it. ”

Fan Jin smiled, "You are just like that, but you can't deceive people." I don't want to say anything more about the two of you, and I know that you won't make a decision tonight. After so many years of relationship, it is not something that can be let go of in one night. I just want you to know that Wang Bogu is not the only one in the world who is your way out. If you're looking for a shoulder to lean on, I'm willing to give it to you. ”

"Phew! When my mother lent me a shoulder, you weren't born yet. I don't need to. Do you want it or not, if you don't, I'm going to get dressed. ”

Fan Jin hugged her tightly, "Siniang, then let's not talk about this, in other words, don't mention feelings but only submit feelings, are you willing to move the Youlan Pavilion to Shangyuan?" I'm a county official, so I can always help you a little, and as for the moving expenses, I'll figure it out. ”

"No, it's too much trouble. I have so many orchids, and they die when I move them. Besides, you haven't been an official in Shangyuan for a long time, so you can't let Miss Zhang wait for Cheng Wangfushi, right? It won't be long before I have to go back to Beijing to become an official, and when you're gone, will I move back? Wait for a few days and Wu'er will come back and have her with you, and you will soon forget about me. Don't always be like a child, eat a sweet and hold on. Deal...... I'll go to the yamen to find you. ”

"Xianglan, listen to me, this clearing of the building is not a long-term solution after all, I want to change your livelihood. If you don't say it, I want to get it, after Wu'er leaves, Youlan's business will definitely not be as good as before. You still have to take care of a bunch of sisters to make ends meet, and it's hard to survive now, right? ”

"Talking nonsense. Wu'er's stinky temper staying by my side is what drags me back. She's not there, and I don't know how good my business is. Every day when the money is weak, I want to take a quick rest, or the people will be scattered. ”

Fan Jin shook his head and said, "Don't lie to me, in fact, if I inquire, I can also know your business situation." Huang Jien and Feng Bangning, the bastards, made a fuss, and many rich women's relatives ran out, and those people would be more presumptuous than usual without their wives to take care of them. This period of time is the time to clear the building to make money, but you left the Youlan Pavilion to buy wine in Suzhou, which proves that your business is not very good. In fact, if you think about it, you know that you are too good to your subordinates, and you can't do a business of clearing buildings and make a fortune with your heart. In addition, Huang Jien is embarrassed by you, it must be very difficult to maintain. Actually, I think you should consider changing careers. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the girls under you. They are spoiled by you, and if one day you can't hold the field, they go to other people to do this for a living, but I am afraid that they will suffer. You Siniang is the most righteous, even if you think about your sisters, you should think of a way to make money, and you can't let a group of women drink the northwest wind with you. ”

mentioned the women under her hands, Ma Xianglan didn't hold on anymore, but looked at Fan Jin very seriously and said, "Change careers? Do what? A group of women, when it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, they can all talk about eating, drinking, and having fun, and when it comes to doing things, they are all sparse, and they will definitely not be able to do it. I can't rob my grandfather's business and go to a teahouse. ”

"If you don't want to be a teahouse, you can be a restaurant." Fan Jindao: "I opened a restaurant in Guangdong, and I have experience in this area. I'll find you a place in Shangyuan and open a restaurant. I'm not bragging, I don't dare to say how powerful I am here in the southeast. But when it comes to cooking, looking at the southeast, I'm afraid there are few people who are better than me. I'll teach you how to cook, and then put Shangyuan's official entertainment in the restaurant, and you won't be out of money. The girls were in charge of the performances and accompanied the drinks...... They're good at it anyway. As long as you break through your fame, even if I leave Jiangning in the future, your restaurant will not collapse because of this. Besides, if I leave, the little grandfather will not leave, I will ask the Trustee Mansion to take care of you, and no one will bully you. ”

Ma Xianglan is not a successful businessman, but she has a lot of dealings with businessmen in the party, and she is not ignorant of business. As soon as Fan Jin said, she could feel the business opportunities contained in it. She herself has a wide range of hands, and she has to subsidize Wang Zhideng, and she uses money in many places. What's more, there is also a group of women who eat with her, and the more gold and silver, the better.

The reason why I didn't open a restaurant before was mainly because of three words: I can't do it. Interlaced like a mountain, the maid went to sell wine, and in the end, most of them still sold Shen. From legal to illegal, that is to be a brain failure. But Fan Jin said it so categorically, it can be seen that he is very sure, maybe this is really a way to make money? In fact, if Shangyuan County's official entertainment is done well, there will be a lot of inputs.

At this time, I listened to it and thought, "If that's the case, then I can think about it." Let me think about it, this matter is not urgent, and the cost is not a small number. As for stir-frying, where is it so easy to learn. ”

"If you don't study, you can find someone to learn, you've been in Jiangning for so long, don't tell me that I don't have any connections, and I can't even find a chef."

"You can find it, but ...... Why are you helping me so much? This kind of money-making business should be more suitable to cooperate with the little grandfather. ”

Fan Jin pinched her, "Because he doesn't have ...... what you have"

"Go, get your hands off the way!" Ma Xianglan struggled slightly, "I just took the money to buy you to accompany me, we don't owe each other, you don't have to be so good to me." Besides, even if you help me like this, I won't fulfill your wish, everyone is friends at most, and I won't enter your house. Only Wu'er is so stupid to be bullied by your wife. ”

"I won't force you, just do what you want. In short, no matter what you choose in the future, I will help you. If you feel sorry for it, help me. ”

"How can I help?"

"Let's talk about Jiang Ning. I am a Cantonese person, people and land are both born, everything is not appropriate, you are a local, or you come to talk about it, I have a number in my heart. ”

Ma Xianglan smiled, "Don't you think it's weird to ask about the people's situation like now?" ”

"Isn't this right, the so-called sincerity of each other, isn't this the most sincere? We don't have secrets from each other, and that's when we tell the truth. Let me tell you, I heard in Guangdong that some people talk about things in the bath, because at that time they did not hide from each other, and it was easiest to tell the truth. What's more, now that we are like this, I believe what you say the most. Let's talk about it. If you want to be more considerate of the people's feelings, what do you say is more subtle than this? It can be seen that this kind of investigation is the most thorough and the most able to hear the truth, and it is worth extensive. ”

"Crooked. In the future, if you dare to make such a private visit, I will let Wu'er behead you for Tianxingdao! Ma Xianglan smiled and gently slapped everything on Fan Jin's neck, and then Fan Jin made a coquettish smile, and hurriedly said:

"Don't mess around...... Let's get down to business. I heard that your errand was guarded by Zhang Juzheng, I don't know what kind of heart he has to put you here. Don't think that if he makes you an official, he agrees to let you be a son-in-law, maybe he wants to harm you. A big man before Shangyuan was a good man, but he was forced to death by money and grain taxes. It's also a chore for you to come here, but you have to be careful, don't die carelessly, then Wu'er will be sad. ”
