013. Drama

A few years ago, Kangxi decreed that Dong E was seventy years old and was promoted from a bachelor in charge of the Erpin Hanlin Academy to a scholar of the First Rank University. The court speculated that the holy will was like this, probably related to the Hu family's disaster relief. Dong E thought so, and thought that he was ashamed of this product, so he wrote a resignation overnight.

After the second day, Dong E's seventy was invited to the Yangxin Palace by Kangxi's personal eunuch Li Dequan.

The elder brothers outside the Heart Cultivation Hall and the ministers in the study room were all standing outside Sanzhang and waiting, and Kangxi was waiting for him in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Kangxi waved his hand to exempt Dong E's seventy gift, summoned him to sit down, and then stood in front of Dong E's seventy and looked at him with a gentle smile on his face.

Dong E was sincerely afraid that he would receive Kangxi's extraordinary treatment, and his body hung on the edge of the stool.

"You are not only promoted to a product for the Hu family's disaster relief this time, but also for you to act impartially in the past few years, do you understand?" Kangxi's voice was like gossip, full of appreciation and satisfaction.

"Minister, understood!" Dong Ezhi stood up and replied solemnly.

Kangxi's hand was on Dong E's shoulder and patted it gently, pointing to the stool, Dong E's seventy had no choice but to sit down again. The emperor's words reminded him of Qing'er, if it wasn't for Qing'er's idea to send the people sent by his brothers away, the house would not be quiet now.

"You're doing a great job!" Kangxi doesn't seem to intend to say deeply on this issue, "You don't have to resign, you deserve this product!" ”

"Minister, panic!" Dong E's seventy knew that the heavier the official rank, the easier it was to get involved in court disputes.

"Fear, what is there to fear? Just do your errand! Nothing to fear! Let's go down! Kangxi said with a smile.

"Yes, the minister is retiring!" Dong E bowed and walked out of the hall.

"Master Dong E, you gave birth to a good child!" Kangxi's voice was not loud, but in the ears of Dong E's seventy, it was tantamount to thunder. He stiffened and paused, stabilized his mind, and said slowly, "Thanks to the emperor's cultivation, the ministers dare not take credit." ”

"You should say that Hu Zhongzheng's education is good!" Kangxi finished speaking lightly, turned around and sat down on the throne.

Sure enough, sure enough, ......, this Yipin is really famous, and the emperor already knows that he did something about Qing'er's birth, but he doesn't plan to pursue it.

Dong E Seventy first smiled bitterly, and then kowtowed: "Thank you for the emperor's praise, minister, retire!" "This time he kowtowed because the emperor exempted him from the crime of bullying the king.

"Well, go ahead!" Kangxi's face was still faintly smiling, and his voice was as firm as ever.

Dong E rushed out of the palace and rushed to Hu Mansion at this moment, his heart seemed to be tumbling in oil, but his body was cold and stiff, and his brain was numb and lost his thoughts. When Hu Zhongzheng saw his appearance, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

"What's wrong? Seventy? "It's hard to see someone who has always been calm so frightened.

"Father-in-law, it's too bad! The emperor knows. ”

"Is it Qing'er's business?" Hu Zhongzheng immediately guessed the problem, and sure enough, he saw Dong E nodding his head.

Back then, when Xiuming said that he would raise Qing'er personally, he suddenly thought that he could mistake Qing'er for his son's orphan and raise him as a boy, and then ask him to inherit the Hu family's family business when he grew up. In the past few years, the Hu family has indeed been following this plan, and three years ago, Chen Ziang had already taken the lead in overseas development, if it wasn't for the news that Chen Zizi had cut off after leaving, I am afraid that Qing'er would have already left the Qing Dynasty.

"It seems that the emperor already knew Qing'er's origin, and he also knew that he was a woman. It's Qing'er who has been too eye-catching all these years. That's it, let's figure it out. The thoughts in Hu Zhongzheng's mind were quickly filtered, and in the end there was only this answer.

"Father-in-law, the emperor knows that Qing'er is a woman, so Qing'er is going to participate in the draft!" Dong E's seventy means that Qing'er can no longer be free.

"There's still time!" After Hu Zhongzheng finished speaking, he pursed his lips, as if he wanted to compete with time.

"Father-in-law has a way?" Dong E was a little surprised, surprised and happy.

"In the past few years, the Hu family has been helping the victims and refugees, and it is unknown whether they will be favored by God because of this.

"Father-in-law is talking ......"

"Well, that's it," Hu Zhongzheng finally admonished: "Don't tell Qing'er about this matter first." ”

"yes, okay."

***

In the New Year, Dong E's Mansion refused all visitors, and even Rong Yu did not participate in the entertainment between the Beijing nobles, and concentrated on accompanying Hu Zhongzheng and Hu Qing at home.

Hu Qing is a businessman in the business field, and he took charge of the Hu family's business at a young age.

Years ago, when he and his brother were riding a horse, he suffered from a cold wind, Qin Heming and Hu Zhongzheng watched him raise him in bed for more than ten days and still didn't get better, but now he has to go out of the house. Because during the New Year, Hu Qing made a decision, and discussed with his grandfather to use the Chinese New Year to summon all the shopkeepers in the north, one is to meet everyone to meet and be affectionate, and the other is to discuss business matters.

In front of the Huipengju Restaurant on Qianmen Street, there are two tall ice sculptures that are crystal clear. A chicken and a fish are lifelike, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

There is a red paper posted next to the door of the club's house, which reads: The proprietor has something to do and will be closed for three days.

Hu Qing, the young master of the Hu family, accompanied by Uncle Cai and Feng Xue, the shopkeeper of Huipengju, greeted the arrival of all the shopkeepers of all the business shops in the north of the Hu family in front of the door of Huipengju.

Most of these shopkeepers of the Hu family are old people who have followed Hu Zhongzheng for decades, and it is rare to meet each other.

Uncle Zhou, the shopkeeper of the Silk Village in the capital, was far away, so he smiled and reported to Hu Qing: "Young master, the New Year is auspicious!" Is the old man coming? These two ice sculptures are really beautiful! Or the young master has a heart! ”

Hu Qing also smiled and saluted him back: "Uncle Zhou, you are old and have a good New Year!" Grandpa is in there with the shopkeepers. ”

Uncle Cai and Uncle Zhou greeted each other, both of them have been Hu Zhongzheng's followers since childhood, and their relationship is relatively close.

A few people laughed and walked to the club, when a commotion came from far and near on the street, and several people stopped and looked back.

Seeing a girl being chased by two men behind them and running towards them, the two men shouted while chasing: "Stop! Stop! ”

The woman who was being chased ran to Hu Qing and knelt down on her knees, and shouted urgently: "Childe save me!" Hu Qing helped her up, and saw that she had a good complexion, but she was only wearing a single dress that was so tattered that she couldn't avoid her body.

The two men who were chasing after them had also run closer, unable to move due to the wind and snow, but still noisy.

"What's going on? Why are they chasing you? Hu Qing asked the woman.

"I borrowed money from them, and they wanted me to pay my debt." The woman covered her face with her hands and cried.

"Paying off your debts? How to arrive? Hu Qing asked puzzled.

The woman bowed her head shyly and was embarrassed to say more, Hu Qing swept her gaze to the two men.

"What's the matter with you? Let us go! "The man tried to break free from the confines of the wind and snow.

"Didn't you hear what our young master asked you?" Uncle Zhou shouted at the two of them.

"This woman owes us money, and she said that she would pay the debt with her body, but she refuses to do so." One of the men said.

"How much money do you owe you, and do you want someone to pay your debt?" Hu Qing sneered.

"Who are you?" The man was still unwilling to ask again.

"I'm the owner of this restaurant, how much money does this girl owe you? I'll pay it back for him, let's count it. Hu Qing pointed to Hui Pengju and walked in front of the two men.

"Five hundred taels of silver."

"Give it to him!" Hu Qing waved at the snow.

The man took out the IOU and handed it to Hu Qing, who opened it and looked at it. The two men took the money and turned to run. "Shall I let you go?" Hu Qing raised his eyebrows and said coldly to the two men. The wind and snow twisted their arms again, and the two men were too frightened to move, their feet pinned to the ground, seeing what happened next.

Hu Qing came to the mourning and crying woman and handed her the IOU in his hand, "Girl, don't be afraid, no one will chase you to repay your debts in the future." Her eyes rested on the torn spot of her pants, where there was a white and greasy skin like a baby, and she cried so much that she became more and more beautiful.

The woman grabbed Hu Qing's leather robe, as if grabbing a life-saving straw: "Childe, take me in, Yanhong will serve you well." ”

With a smile on his face, Hu Qing took a step back and turned to the side to let her go, and said lightly: "You better go, I won't take you in." ”

Uncle Cai and Uncle Zhou looked at the young master in disbelief, no! There is something wrong, a bad feeling, this is not like the young master's consistent style, the two of them glanced at each other, but neither spoke.

The noise outside the house alarmed the shopkeepers in the house, Hu Zhongzheng and the shopkeepers walked out of the Huipeng Residence together, at this time outside the Huipeng House, the people of the Hu family and the onlookers had already surrounded Qing'er and Yanhong in the circle.

Yan Hong still grabbed Hu Qing tightly, whimpered and said: "I came to the capital from Hangzhou to join my uncle, but I didn't expect my uncle to be seriously ill, I had to borrow their money, and now my uncle is dead, I have no way to join my relatives, please take me in." ”

Hu Qing held Yan Hong's hand, touched her palm with his fingers, and kept a smile on his face, "You explained very clearly, but I can't take you in." ”

Yan Hong lowered her head shyly, and said in a low voice: "Childe must have thought that I was ...... by them, so he didn't want me." I, I'm still innocent. ”

Hu Qing laughed jokingly: "That's it, but I still can't ask for you." ”

As soon as Hu Qing's voice fell, the onlookers began to mutter: This little white face has a few stinky money to tease that woman, the woman's words have been said to this point, he still doesn't want others, so what are you taking out the money to pay off the debts for others? Oh! Could it be that this little white face has some sleeve breaking fetishes and doesn't like women? …… The crowd was talking.

Grandpa and the shopkeepers of the Hu family both know Hu Qing's temperament, but they don't know why he is doing abnormally at the moment.

Hu Qing took off his cloak and threw it on the woman: "You can go!" There was impatience in his tone, with three points of annoyance. I really don't want to dwell on it anymore, if it weren't for the warning to Brother Jiu, this farce would have ended a long time ago.

Yan Hong smiled in a mocking tone and said: "Everyone says that Hu Qing, the little god of wealth, is righteous and squandering wealth, and what he said is true!" ”

It turns out that he is Hu Qing! ''The grandson of Hu Zhongzheng, the richest man in the Qing Dynasty!'' Little God of Wealth! '''Prodigy! Everyone sighed, but this scene is even more incomprehensible, Hu Qing, who donated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for disaster relief in Henan last year, why did he be stingy to take in a homeless woman at this time?

Hu Qing said coldly to Yan Hong: "Go back and tell your master, this drama is useless to me!" You go, I'm not hard for you! After speaking, he turned around and walked towards Huipengju, but what he saw was his grandfather's suspicious and panicked look, and his grandfather hurriedly stepped forward to pull him away, but he was finally some distance away, Hu Qing was already alert to the disaster, and he didn't have time to look back, he felt a pain in his waist, and heard the sound of a sword breaking in his ears. Lei ran to the front from a distance in three or two steps, and supported Hu Qing's body with Hu Zhongzheng. Grandpa asked in a trembling voice: "Qing'er, are you okay?" Hu Qing smiled and shook his head: "Grandpa, I'm fine." At the same time, Den placed his sword on his red neck, and on the ground was a broken dagger. Incredible things happened one after another, and the crowd burst into exclamations.

The wind and snow shoot their icy gaze at the crowd like eagles.

Hu Qing turned around and said mockingly to Yan Hong: "It seems that I think things are too simple!" ”

Yan Hong said to Hu Qing: "You have already seen through me? ”

Hu Qing shook his head and smiled and said, "I didn't know through you, it's just that I don't like to play too simple games, and you're too anxious." ”

Yan Hong was surprised by Hu Qing's words, "What do you mean?" ”

Hu Qing pointed to the two men who were chasing her before and said, "You know who they are, but I'm afraid they don't know who you are, right?" So can you tell me, who are you? ”

Yan Hong was taken aback, "Do you know who they are?" ”

Hu Qing nodded and didn't speak again, lowered his head to think, and then asked violently, "Xue Yun has an accident, right?" ”

Yan Hong showed a suspicious look and asked curiously, "How do you know that something happened to Xue Yun?" Where did I find a flaw? ”

Hu Qing pointed to her leg and said, "Your body shouldn't be like this, you haven't seen anyone get cold!" He held her hand again: "This is a pair of hands that hold swords all year round, how can you be an ordinary person!" Besides, no one in the capital wants me to die yet, not even their master. The last sentence was addressed to the two men.

Yan Hong looked at Hu Qing and said, "Hu Qing, you are really smart. Yes, Xue Yun has an accident, but even if you can rush back at this moment, I'm afraid it's already too late! ”

Hu Qing coldly raised his face, and his eyes were full of murder: "Did Cao Jingxuan want you to kill me?" ”

Yan Hong laughed and laughed before she said, "Do you think I'm going to tell you?" ”

Hu Qing waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”

Yan Hong looked at Qing'er who was close at hand, and now this distance was the best time to kill her, but she couldn't do it. "Are you really letting me go?" She didn't believe that Hu Qing would let her go.

Hu Qing asked rhetorically: "What am I keeping you for?" ”

"You let me go, but I don't want to go back." missed the first blow, Yan Hong no longer had the strength to strike a second blow, and Hu Qing's approach made her feel sad. For a person who assassinated himself, Hu Qing can ignore his previous suspicions, just this mind, that man can't be compared. He wanted to assassinate Hu Qing himself, and promised to marry him when he went back, but at this moment, she suddenly felt disheartened, and went back to face him, how could she be embarrassed?

Hu Qing didn't understand what she meant.

Yan Hong said earnestly: "Young Master Hu, although I regret falling in love with him, I beg you not to kill him." ”

A grim smile appeared on the corner of Hu Qing's lips, and at the same time, a cold light appeared in the phoenix's eyes. "Now I can't promise you, I can only say that the eldest brother is okay, he will be fine, if the eldest brother has something, even if he is at the end of the world, I will not let him go!"

Yan Hong slowly closed her eyes and fell to the ground: Brother Xuan, there is only so much I can do for you in this life, you, do it yourself!

Seeing Yanhong falling, Hu Qing couldn't support it anymore and collapsed in his grandfather's arms, and he only had time to hear her words: "Let them go!" ”
