At the beginning of night, lanterns were hung outside the gate of the palace.

In the east courtyard of the house, the lights in each room are also lit up, and the stars are dotted, just like a heavenly palace.

In the main hall of the east courtyard, a handsome man was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, he said to the head of Fang in front of him: "Manager Fang, I heard that there is a new account room in our house?" ”

The chubby Chief Manager Fang hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "Yes, Second Young Master!" ”

Lord Wang has a total of three sons and one daughter under his knees, and the eldest young master, Wang Jiangong, is a famous talent in Jiangning. A poem is very beautifully written. The third young master is different from his two elder brothers, as a young master of a scholarly family. The third young master likes military books, martial arts and the like, and takes a group of people to fight every day, a typical evil young man. And the second son, Wang Liye, although he doesn't like to study, his talent in business is unmatched. What makes Manager Fang even more impressed is that the second young master's vision in employing people is really vicious.

At this time, sitting in front of him was the second son of the palace, Wang Liye.

Wang Liye nodded after hearing Manager Fang's reply, picked up a book on the table, turned two pages and put it down, and asked, "This person's character and reputation are good?" ”

After listening to this, Manager Fang said carefully: "This person's name is Lu Heng, and he is a showman. It can be regarded as the birth of a scholarly family. The surname is Ge Mu Ne, and in terms of being a person, he is also loyal and honest! Hehe! ”

Manager Fang seemed to think of the appearance of the other party's hands in his sleeves when he saw Lu Heng today. I couldn't help but laugh.

After listening to this, Wang Liye nodded and said, "That's fine, Uncle Fang." Nowadays, our silk industry is getting bigger and bigger, and it has attracted the attention of many people. Moreover, some people are starting to have bad ideas. The post of account clerk involves a lot of secrets, and its candidates must be cautious and must not make mistakes! ”

Manager Fang said yes when he heard this.

Wang Liye nodded with a smile and said, "I brought back some food from Hangzhou, and Uncle Wang, you can bring some back for Xiao Wu to eat later." ”

Manager Fang smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you, young master, it's better for the young master to rest early after working all the way, and the old slave will leave!" ”

After bowing to Second Young Master Wang, Manager Fang staggered out of the room.

In the room, Wang Liye opened a stack of letters by the light, looked at the contents of the letters, and rubbed his temples with a headache.

……

As night fell, the sky was full of stars.

Without the bright lights of the day, the starry sky is even brighter. The deep blue night sky, like a freshly washed uh gorgeous black and blue velvet blanket. The stars in the sky are the brilliant diamonds set on them. The twinkling stars in the sky are reflected in the Qinhuai River, and the flickering flower boats on the river are connected, just like the heavens.

After dark, the weather seems to be colder.

A gust of wind blew, and Lu Heng felt a slight coldness. Unintentionally watching the wind and moon on the Qinhuai River, he hurriedly tightened his cotton robe and walked towards home.

At the entrance of the courtyard, a lantern was hung at some point. In the wind, the bright lanterns sway gently in the wind. Under the dim light, the old wooden door and the falling blessing character are quiet and serene.

Lu Heng's heart was warm, he rubbed his hands, reached out and grabbed the iron ring on the door and knocked.

"Sister-in-law, I'm back!"

On a quiet night, Lu Heng's voice was exceptionally clear.

There was a sound of the latch opening from inside the door, and the wooden door creaked open. revealed Liu Qingqing's fairy-like appearance.

"I'm late, hehe!" Lu Heng rubbed his ears with his hand and said with a smile.

Liu Qingqing glanced at him, opened the door, and said lightly: "Hurry up and enter the house!" ”

Behind him, Liu Qingqing pulled the bolt of the door on. The two of them entered the house one after the other.

Lift the curtain and feel a warm feeling. The candle flame in the room was like a bean, emitting a dim glow. In the small stove, the charcoal fire is blazing.

On the humble table, there are two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and a plate of pickles. The bowl is filled with white rice.

Liu Qingqing entered the room, walked straight to the table, put away the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "You sit down first, I'll give you a hot one!" ”

"I'll do it! Sister-in-law, you rest! Lu Heng rolled up his sleeves and was ready to step forward to help.

Liu Qingqing didn't appreciate it, and said lightly: "The gentleman is far away from cooking, these things are still done by our women's family!" Uncle, you are a person with a meritorious reputation, how can you do these things. ”

Lu Heng smiled, walked straight to the stove, and squatted down. While filling the firewood inside, he looked at the fire inside, and said with a smile: "A gentleman should also be good for profit." Now that I have become the bookkeeper of the palace, I can be regarded as breaking the vows, and I will not be able to be a gentleman in the future. One is broken, and two are broken. It doesn't matter if you make one more! ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't hear Liu Qingqing's voice. Lu Heng filled the firewood with a smile and said, "Why doesn't my sister-in-law speak,...... Belch! ”

The moment he turned around, Lu Heng saw Liu Qingqing sitting on the kang, lowered his head and said nothing, secretly raised his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes.

Uh, it seems that something is serious, did you say the wrong thing?

"Sister-in-law, you, what's wrong with you?" Lu Heng hurriedly put down the work in his hand, stood up, and asked puzzledly.

Liu Qingqing smiled miserably, raised his sleeves, and wiped away the tears on his face. is still in a cold tone: "Uncle is a strange slave family who asked you to go to the palace on an errand, did you miss your way to become a leader?" ”

When Lu Heng heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Immediately, he suddenly laughed.

I thought my sister-in-law was being bullied, but it turned out that it was this incident! I was just joking, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to take it seriously.

Seeing that Liu Qingqing's face was getting colder and colder, Lu Heng hurriedly held back his laughter. explained: "Sister-in-law misunderstood, I didn't mean that. I'm just using an analogy! Sister-in-law, don't be careful! Besides, I know my knowledge. Even if you read the genus for 10,000 years, you are just a showman. Therefore, the name of a gentleman is destined to have nothing to do with me! Besides, a gentleman can't eat it as a meal. What is the use of it? ”

Hearing this, Liu Qingqing snorted and didn't answer, but her face improved a little.

Between meals, Lu Heng talked to his sister-in-law about today's events.

However, this sister-in-law's surname seems to be a little indifferent, to be precise, it should be a little indifferent to herself.

No matter what Lu Heng said, she let out a faint oh, looked indifferent, and then continued to bow her head to eat. Lu Heng, who was so swaggering, was a little frustrated, as if he had punched cotton with a punch.

looked at Liu Qingqing's willow eyebrows lowered, and he didn't even look at himself. Lu Heng wondered if his sister-in-law had some opinions about herself.

Could it be that the former owner of his body did something that he shouldn't have done? Otherwise, my sister-in-law shouldn't be like this.

Although Lu Heng showed that he had no intention of being a gentleman, after the meal, Liu Qingqing still rejected Lu Heng's idea of participating in the washing. After washing the dishes and chopsticks alone, he dropped a sentence and drifted away.

"It's late at night, uncle, let's rest early!"

……

Through the gap in the hemp paper in the window, Lu Heng looked at the euphemistic figure reflected in the window of the opposite wing, and his heart was quiet.

On the winter night of the third year of the Great Zhou Qingyuan, the first day of Lu Heng's work after coming here passed like this.
