Chapter 116: The Great Corrupt Official
Fu Jinxi took the brocade box in He'er's hand, but she didn't open it immediately, but she seemed to smell a unique fragrance on the brocade box, light and elegant, and she knew whose brocade box belonged as soon as this fragrance appeared. ()
"Miss, what is this?" Rong Hua looked at this exquisitely carved brocade box, and a smile swept on her mouth, I am afraid that the only person who can give such a thoughtful and exquisite gift to her own young lady is Young Master Yun.
Fu Jinxi couldn't help frowning slightly, and lowered his hand, and the small brocade box was naturally covered by the sleeves along with his hand.
"Let's go back to the yard." Fu Jinxi stepped away, Rong Hua glanced at He'er suspiciously, but He'er only shook her head slightly and entered the room with Fu Jinxi.
Fu Jinxi asked everyone to wait outside, walked on the couch, thought about it, and took out the brocade box in his sleeve. The brocade box is very exquisitely carved, and it is obvious that there are traces of new carvings on it, and this box is only carved!
Fu Jinxi frowned slightly, carefully checked the box, and found no mystery, but the rabbit with a round face carved on it was cute and full of childlike fun.
Childlike? Fu Jinxi couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth when he thought of these two words, it was really his style, he always regarded himself as a child who had not yet grown up, but he didn't know that her soul was about to be older than him.
In front of the box is a small golden lock, next to the golden lock is hung a key, and even the handle of the key is engraved with a rabbit that has always been round and simple.
Fu Jinxi couldn't help laughing helplessly, this Dongfang Chunyan, you will always treat me as a child, and one day you will be planted in my hands. ()
The small lock opened with a 'snap', Fu Jinxi slowly opened the brocade box but saw that there was only one thing in the box, that is, the hosta that was taken by Dongfang Chunyan to blackmail her, and the handle of the hosta was also engraved with the word 'Zi Kite', but these two words had been carved a long time ago.
Fu Jinxi picked up the hosta, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he wanted to close the brocade box, but found that there was still a blank paper in the brocade box.
Fu Jinxi raised her eyebrows, and her premonition told her that she had better not read this blank paper, but if she didn't look at it, she always had things left in her heart. Fu Jinxi gritted his silver teeth slightly, this big corrupt official in the East always has the ability to make people angry, because there are only two simple lines written in the note
'The brocade box charges fifty taels, and the remaining hosta costs thirty taels. Please **clear it at once, otherwise the interest is very expensive. ’
Fu Jinxi looked at the brocade box in his hand, and then looked at the words on the white paper, he really deserved to be a big corrupt official, and the way he asked for money was also unique.
The corners of Fu Jinxi's mouth sarcastically hooked, Dongfang Chunyan is just an official who falls in the eyes of money, even if he doesn't seem to eat the fireworks of the world, he is just an ordinary man.
Fu Jinxi raised his eyebrows slightly, and planned to put the brocade box aside at will, but when he put it down, the bottom layer of the box suddenly opened by itself, and another piece of white paper appeared
'Knowing that the woman must not be good at speaking, he added thirty dollars to the silver as spiritual compensation. On the other hand, everything in the world has its own purpose since it has been done, such as last night's fireworks, and today's brocade box. ’
When Fu Jinxi looked at the first two sentences, he smiled, this Dongfang Chunyan knew that he would definitely not say good things about him in his heart, but he still used this as an excuse to ask her for another thirty taels, but what was he hinting at her in the latter two sentences、、、? Could it be that the fireworks set off by Qianli last night had another purpose in it? But what is his purpose, she felt a little strange from the beginning of Qianli's approach for no reason, Qianli, what is his identity, what do you want to do to the General's Mansion!
Fu Jinxi thought that Qianli might want to use himself to deal with Fu Fu, and felt a chill in his heart, sure enough, men in the world are not credible, even this big corrupt official in the East who came to warn him is the same, and he actually sent someone to follow him!
"Miss, another letter has arrived." Rong Hua knocked on the door outside, still holding the letter in her hand, but she was wondering in her heart, didn't Young Master Fang Caiyun already send something, why did he send someone to deliver the letter now, but he really took their young lady to heart.
As soon as Fu Jinxi heard that there was something again, his brows frowned fiercely, glanced at the brocade box in his hand, and then looked at the hosta in his hand, and finally put the hosta into the brocade box, got up and opened the door.
Rong Hua looked at Fu Jinxi and smirked
"Miss, this Young Master Yun is diligent in giving gifts today, this has just finished sending the brocade box, and now he has sent a letter, tsk, I'm afraid I can't wait." He'er jokingly said, anyway, her brain is a little 'broken' now, of course, this is what the girls said in private, but she does have a posture of a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water when she speaks now.
Fu Jinxi glanced at Rong Hua coldly, and indeed commanded
"Go to the bookkeeper and fetch me two hundred taels of silver." Fu Jinxi looked at Rong Hua and continued with a posture of asking questions
"Don't ask a word!"
Rong Hua closed her mouth helplessly, nodded, lifted her skirt and ran to the account room.
Fu Jinxi returned to the room, opened the letter, and only read a few lines before he laughed, this Yun Ziao, if he really thinks he is an idiot, it's ridiculous!
At this time, Yun Ziao was anxiously waiting outside the Fu Mansion, his heart now flew to Su Ruyi, he knew that Su Ruyi had been offended, but he hated the person who made Su Ruyi suffer more, and he hated Fu Jinxi even more in his heart, only to blame why she didn't protect Su Ruyi at that time so that Su Ruyi was taken captive by that villain.
The snow in the sky was still drifting, Yun Ziao stood outside the door of the Fu Mansion with a gray-black mink coat, he was eager to go in to see Su Ruyi, but now all the rights of the Fu Mansion were pinched by Fu Jinxi, even the old lady was so angry that she was sick in bed, if he wanted to go into the backyard, he had to get Fu Jinxi's consent.
Yun Ziao was now angry with Fu Jinxi in his heart, and he didn't want to mess with her, so he didn't even let him report the person who went in to report, but he had already prepared a letter for the little guy to send in, I thought it wouldn't be too difficult, after all, Fu Jinxi had affection for himself, as long as he said righteously that he wanted to visit Mrs. Su and Su Ruyi, he thought that Fu Jinxi would not let him go in, but he didn't think about it, he stood outside the door for an hour and a half, and even after noon, he didn't see any movement inside.
Yun Ziao was standing outside in the cold, but she couldn't put down her son and let the little girl pass it on, so she had to wait, but she didn't know that she waited until it was dark, and she didn't see Fu Jinxi or the maid ring in her yard go out.
