Early Spring in Gangnam (X) (Bottom)

At the gate of a half-mountain courtyard in Huanglongpo, Hangzhou, a middle-aged embroiderer dressed in a cyan robe, a scribe's hat, and a cyan cloak, looked up at the last few withered plums that bloomed late, and walked slowly down the mountain along the curved stone road between the mountains. This Huanglongpo, because there are a few sweet springs in the mountain, one side of the mountain faces the thin lake, and it is only two or three miles away from the downtown of Hangzhou, so there are many tea houses and rich people's courtyards on the mountain. Although the mountains and forests grow naturally, the owners will always plant a plum tree, peach blossom or cherry blossom in a casual place, or carve some words and texts on the rock wall. Each place has a different view, so you can enjoy it slowly. The scribe also seemed to be watching slowly, coming out of the courtyard, slowly stopping at three steps and taking a break at five steps to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the integration of nature and humanity.

I didn't take a few steps to hear footsteps behind the stone rock that turned, the footsteps were not long, it seemed to be a woman, but one of them was not strong enough, and the other was very accomplished. A woman, is actually a martial arts master, Jiangnan is really talented. He thought of the woman he had in mind, and she was also very good at kung fu. I just don't know if this woman who came over is also as beautiful as her? I only heard a woman say: "I thought about it all night last night, but I still haven't figured out the bookkeeping method you explained to Steward He yesterday, is it necessary to write down such a thin flow of water?" "This woman has a calm voice, a full of energy, a northern accent, and is the one with good internal strength.

"Are you still thinking?!" This voice is soft and very pleasant, with a soft and slight Wu Nong accent slightly added a little Beijing official accent, like a woman from a large family: "You don't understand now, you stay here for a while, and you may figure it out if you carefully observe the specific daily operations of He Zhishi." I'm going to tell you about it now, and it's only going to make you more annoyed. "With such a beautiful voice, I don't know if people are very beautiful. Where had he heard it? It seems that there is no such thing, and he is a little unsure. Maybe it's a lady from a big family. Many young ladies from large families in Hangzhou have spent a lot of money to invite the teachers in the capital to discipline them since they were children, and it is normal to have this kind of accent. Maybe it was because of his accent that he thought he had heard it somewhere? He couldn't think of it.

Turning Shi Yan, two tall women appeared in front of him, both dressed as girls. A pale pink dress, wearing a red cloak, tall eyebrows, eyebrows are not painted but shaped, skin is snow-white, cheeks are slightly red, at first glance is beautiful, dignified and generous, healthy woman, this is the one with deep internal strength. A man dressed like snow, wearing a powder-blue cloak and a white veil on his face, looked at him with a pair of large smart eyes and a slight look of surprise. Maybe this road turned too abruptly, and the other party didn't expect to see him, so he was surprised, he thought so. It's just that these talking eyes seem familiar, have you seen them somewhere? Although the face towel covers the face, but the excellent dusty temperament can not be concealed, and the feeling of nobility and prohibitiveness is not something that ordinary official ladies can pretend to be. He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't stop, and he didn't have time to wonder if he had seen it at this moment.

He didn't speak, but only apologized for disturbing the two girls. The other party also seemed to be very generous and decent, and he also smiled and nodded, bent down slightly, and then immediately stood sideways on the side of the stone road and let him go first. Whether it is a woman from an official family, a woman in the palace, or a lady from a large family, most of them pretend to be weak, and they want someone to help them and ask someone to wait, and most of them are men who make way for them. These two are not only beautiful, but also unpretentious, but a little bold, which makes him look at him twice. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have too many men and women, and the folk customs in Jiangnan were also open, as an elder, he didn't look at the two little girls too much. He hurried away to make way for the girls.

Just when he thought that the outstanding people in Jiangnan had raised outstanding women, he heard the woman in pink say: "Since you asked Manager He to keep accounts like this, do you also let the people of the tea house keep accounts like this today?" Are you going to teach them today? ”

"The business here of the tea house is still very different from Yuehuaxuan..."

Yue Huaxuan, he couldn't help but turn around, could it be that this is the woman in the legend of the child?! His annex in Huanglongpo and the branch of the Aoki Tea Society in Huanglongpo are only a few courtyards apart. This is the direction to go to Aokisha. As if sensing that he was watching them, both women turned to look at him, and he smiled politely and nodded, then turned and walked on. The kid had always had a very high eye, and it was normal to choose such a woman. But why does it feel familiar? This woman also knows how to keep accounts, and it doesn't sound like a normal way of keeping accounts. The woman next to him, if he guessed correctly, was reported in the intelligence of his subordinates, the young lady of the Tang family, and the new moon of the Tang family who followed them all the way from Kansai.

In the southeast corner of downtown Hangzhou, there is a red mud building near the Slender Lake, which is a place where both men and women can come to have fun and enjoy food. Legend has it that women and men in Jiangnan are jealous, and the owner of the red mud building is afraid that the guests will be embarrassed to go home, so he did not open on the bustling Hualiu Street, but on the quiet lake. The main entrance is not like other businesses on the main road, but it is hidden behind a zigzag tree wall planted in the dense willow forest on the bank of the lake, and as long as you are not on the path to the entrance, it is difficult to see the guests walking towards the red mud courtyard. And the red mud building has two main entrances, the east side is for male guests, and the west side is for female guests. Entering the red mud courtyard, each corridor is sheltered by vines or various flowers and plants. The people in the guest room only saw flowers and plants, and could not see the guests. Similarly, guests cannot see the individual rooms hidden in the flowers and trees.

Wang Xiaohua came in from the west gate in a familiar car, her steps were a little eager, and she walked straight to the Yuyue Pavilion that she was familiar with. The room has a charcoal stove and sandalwood, which is warm and cozy. There was no food on the table, just a teapot and a few cups, and the curtains in the middle were lifted and hung on either side, revealing a comfortable bed. A tall scribe stood by the window of the outer room, without looking back, as if admiring the camellia and the carp in the pond. Wang Xiaohua hung the heavy fox fur cloak on the hanger at the door, walked over beautifully in a light cloud gauze skirt, hugged the scribe's waist from behind, put her face against his back, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the moment she had been waiting for for a long time. This is the only man she loves in this life, and for her, she can give everything without asking for anything in return. But she also knew that her status was too low, and she couldn't stand side by side with him for the rest of her life, so she could only be his slave. So after meeting him ten years ago, she threw herself into his hands without hesitation. Only by serving him and doing things for him can she have the opportunity to reach him, pray for his favor, and give her humble feelings a little comfort.

The scribe frowned slightly, did not move, and did not speak. After Wang Xiaohua lay on his stomach for a while, his hands began to slowly roaming over him. She knew his preferences and could unmistakably arouse his interest. Although Wang Xiaohua was already in a state of flux. It's a pity that he didn't have her reaction as expected, could it be that he hasn't seen him for a long time, and his habits have changed?

"Master?" She asked timidly.

"I haven't been to Jiangnan for two years, and you don't know what your last name is?"

Wang Xiaohua was startled, raised her face and stared at the man's strong back, and her hands didn't dare to move.

"The subordinates don't dare." Wang Xiaohua replied in horror, her mind also turned quickly, combing through the recent events, guessing why the master said this, she has not made any mistakes recently, except for letting people tie up the little young master of the Qin family: "The subordinates let people tie up the little young master of the Qin family, just to help the Sun family." Although the subordinates are friendly with the second lady, it is more because Lord Sun also works for the master. ”

"Then the Qin family's business, what you do is what you do, a Jianghu sect, it's nothing to tie up a person if you're in a hurry, your master doesn't look down on this little thing. Since you say that, you don't know what you're doing wrong? ”

As he spoke, the man turned around slowly, and it was the scribe who had met the Crescent Moon on the mountain road of Huanglongpo.

"The subordinates, please make it clear to the master." Wang Xiaohua couldn't suppress the fear in her heart, and knelt down in front of him.

"I didn't let you keep Zuixianglou back then, but married into the Luo family, how did I explain to you?"

"The master asked his subordinates to take care of the waterway of the Great River Gang for you."

"Since it's for you to be optimistic, it's for you to watch it, and you have to do a good job of the Dahe Gang, but it's not for you to be powerful and happy in the Dahe Gang. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more useful for you to stay in Zuixiang Building? ”

"The subordinates did what you ordered, controlled the Luo family father and son, ensured that they were loyal to their masters, protected the secret passage we developed, and opened the business to Huizhou Mansion and Lingnan."

"Do you think these are your merits?"

Wang Xiaohua did not speak.

"The Big River Gang has indeed expanded well over the years, but that's Luo Yi's ability, this young man is really capable, and he is also very good at taking advantage of the trend. It's not bad to take advantage of the convenience I gave him to expand the Big River Gang to where it is today. But what about you? Can you say you can control him? This kid is very capable, but he is also very ambitious. He will not be willing to submit to our interests, and he will definitely find a way to leave some way back for the Great River Gang. ”

"How dare he?!"

The scribe looked at her with a smile, Wang Xiaohua felt a chill all over her body, Wang Xiaohua hurriedly bowed her head: "There are many people in the Dahe Gang who follow the gang leaders of the previous generation to fight the world, they only believe in the heirs designated by the old gang leaders, and only obey their orders. In their eyes, I was just an outsider woman who wouldn't be used by me. ”
