Chapter 127: The Old Servant



Hu Fei and Chunying glanced at each other. Frowning slightly, he asked, "Tell me clearly, what's going on?!" What is he going to do? ”

But Ah Fan suddenly became squirming, took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and squeaked a few words before crying: "It was mine, I saw the second young master that time, I was happy, and when I returned home, I said a few more words, but I didn't expect my man to be annoyed, shouting to find the second young master's bad luck, saying that you are not as ...... as before now" She bit her lip and lowered her head: "Because I was pregnant with a child and cried with him, he gave up." Unexpectedly, last month he was a guest at a relative's house outside the city and accidentally saw you...... I was afraid that he would come to the door to make trouble, so I quarreled with him, but I had a fetal gas and gave birth to a girl......"

Chun Ying interrupted her: "What does this Datong have to do with Young Master Hu's door-to-door visit?" Isn't he coming soon? Can you make a long story short and say no? "She's in a hurry, who is impatient to listen to their little two quarrel?

Ah Fan's face flushed, and he quickly raised his head and glared at her. But I heard Hu Fei say: "Sister is reasonable, Ah Fan, you can briefly talk about important things." Ah Fan's face turned a little dark, and he twisted his handkerchief and said, "Yes, Second Young Master...... It's me man, he's ...... He was annoyed that I had a daughter, and said that you were all the fault - this is all nonsense! If he hadn't messed with me, how would I have had a daughter? Everyone says I'm pregnant with a boy! ”

Chunying resisted the urge to roll her eyes: "What happened later?!" ”

"Later...... He ran to the gate of the city again and stared at ...... stared at it for several days, and said that he would wait for the second young master to pass by...... I'm not desolate at home with my daughter......" Ah Fan's eyes turned red as he spoke, and he sobbed in a low voice, and Chunying jumped to her feet in a hurry. Hu Fei closed his eyes and said softly: "It's hard for you, it's your husband's fault, how can he leave your mother and daughter alone?" - And then he found me, didn't he? ”

Ah Fan cried and nodded: "He followed you all the way here, originally planning to make a big fuss, but then somehow, he was regarded as a thief and sent to the official mansion." When he got home, he lost his temper. He said that you were all wrong, so he ignored my pleas and ran to Hu's house...... Tell the eldest young master everything about your residence here......" She cried loudly: "How can he do this...... If the second young master has a good idea, what face do I have to see you?! ”

Chunying breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the Hu family was not coming soon, seeing that Ah Fan was crying sadly, she slowed down her tone: "Sister-in-law, don't cry, didn't you just give birth to a child?" If you cry badly, it's a lifelong thing. Then he stretched out his hand to help the other party. The other party broke free from her with all his might, and cried and said to Hu Fei: "Second young master, run away, the eldest young master will definitely not let you go...... Didn't you say last time that he had forced you to move out several times? ”

Hu Fei's face sank: "I have my own measure." Go back first and take care of yourself. Ah Fan shook his head violently: "No! Second Young Master, you have to leave immediately! I overheard my man telling others that the eldest young master will definitely kill you! You don't know how powerful the eldest young master is now! When a prefect who entered Beijing from other places met the Hu family's sedan chair when he went out, he had to give way to the eldest young master first. His family business is more prosperous now than it was when his master was there, and if he wants to deal with you, you can't resist it. Please, Second Young Master, even if it's for me, please run away! ”

Chun Ying blinked, thinking that Ah Fan's words sounded so awkward? She turned her head to look at Hu Fei, and Hu Fei also frowned: "I have already said it, I am measured!" No matter how powerful he is, there is no room for him to cover the sky with one hand in the capital! Well, it's late tonight, so go back! You are already married, so it has nothing to do with the Hu family. Hugh is going to get involved! ”

Ah Fan's expression seemed to be very moved: "Second Young Master, I know you are worried about me, but ...... After so many years of love, how can you tell me to leave you alone? Second Young Master......"

"Sister Afan!" Hu Fei couldn't help it, "Hugh is going to say anything more about being ruthless!" Your husband is angry when he hears what you say, and if you say that again, won't it make him even more angry? You are the best son, so naturally you should take your husband as the sky, and forget all about the past! ”

Ah Fan was stunned, and tears came out again: "Second young master, you are so ruthless......"

Chunying opened her mouth slightly.

Hu Fei pulled her dark scarf and put it on her head, then walked over and opened the door, stood by the door, and twisted his head: "Sister Fan, go back, be careful on the road, and ...... later." You don't have to come again! ”

Ah Fan's tears kept falling like pearls with broken threads, his hands grabbed the scarf tightly, his body trembled, he covered his mouth and ran out, and the sound of crying faintly came back.

Hu Fei quickly closed the door, sighed, and began to be in a daze. Chun Ying cautiously asked, "Brother Xiaofei...... What the hell are you two ...... What's the intimacy? "It looks like an old flame or something.

Hu Fei smiled bitterly: "Where is there any intimacy? You girl don't want to talk nonsense! When I was fifteen years old, my father wanted me to take her in, but my mother didn't allow it, so the matter was delayed. But since then, she's gotten closer to me. It's just that I'm always a little uncomfortable...... When my mother and I were kicked out of the house, she stood by silently like everyone else. I also knew that she couldn't help herself, so I didn't blame her much. It's just that the past has passed, and she is also married and has a daughter, and if she says anything unwilling, it will only ruin her reputation. ”

Only then did Chunying know the reason for the matter, but she had only considered taking the house, was Ah Fan's attitude towards Hu Fei too intimate? If you don't know the truth, you still think that there is really a JQ between them!

She glanced at Hu Fei: "Brother Xiaofei, I think she treats you very well?" I don't know if it's in confinement or just out of confinement, but I came to report to you at night, and I don't even care if my husband is angry. Don't be too ruthless, isn't it too dangerous for her to give birth to a woman and go home alone? ”

Hu Fei glanced back at her: "You forgot?" Now the yamen is catching thieves, it is in our area that haunts, Shen Xiaosi and his group of brothers stay in the nearby streets and alleys every day as soon as it gets dark, Ah Fan is a face, and a woman, they will naturally send her home safely when they see her. What the are you doing? ”

Shen Xiaosi is a good servant of Shuntianfu who is good friends with Hu Fei, and he usually eats and drinks in one place. When Chunying heard him say this, she knew that there was an eight-point accuracy, so she let go of her worries. But the most critical question she hasn't forgotten: "What about your brother?" If he comes, what are you going to do? ”

Hu Fei dusted off his sleeves lightly: "Come on, come on, I'm afraid of him?" Will he drive me away, or will he ruin my future? He can't even take care of himself, and he still has the face to care about me? He turned around and went back to the small courtyard: "Let's continue to discuss, where to open a store in those places?" ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Chunying's eyes, thinking about what Hu Fei's words meant, and hearing him urge. I had to continue the previous discussion. In the end, the two agreed that they still had to conduct a few on-site surveys before they could decide, but now it seems that Yanle Hutong is the best, with sufficient customers and high consumption power, and it is the closest to Dogtail Hutong, with only two shortcomings: one is that the competition is fierce, and the other is that it is located in ***, and it is inconvenient for a girl like Chunying to go over.

Hu Fei blinked: "***? What does this have to do with the Red Lantern? Naturally, our new store is not called that. ”

Chun Ying laughed dryly: "That's not what you mean...... Uh, you're just wrong for me. Actually, although it is more complicated there, if I take a pony carriage and go directly to the store, it shouldn't be a big problem, right? "The traverser is somewhat curious about the Qinglou, but reason will stop the impulse. She doesn't want to go to the Qinglou now, she only looks through the car window on the road outside, it shouldn't be a problem, right? Yanle Hutong...... There is a teaching department and an official temple nearby, and it seems to be a place where beauties gather?

Hu Fei smiled: "Of course it's not a problem. I pondered, or rent or buy, get a storefront, and ask for a small courtyard in the back, and I can usually live there. If you come in a pony carriage and enter through the back door, the customers will not see you. Although there are many people in that area, it is not a messy place, and there are sergeants stationed there, so no one will dare to make trouble. ”

Chun Ying was stunned, and her original eagerness to try dimmed: "Brother Xiaofei, you want to move away?!" Aren't you coming back to stay? ”

Hu Fei smiled and looked down at the booklet: "I can't borrow it here for the rest of my life." What's more, if I want to open a store, of course it is more comfortable to live there at night...... "He has something difficult to say in his heart, in fact, Yanle Hutong is the most optimistic place for him, his family is engaged in jewelry fat powder business, and there are many customers from Qinglou, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about, the most important thing is that most of the people who come and go in that area are dignitaries. And one of the stores he is most optimistic about is close to a "Jiuxiang Pavilion", where the top brand Jiuli Xiang is the forbidden belly of a certain imperial merchant, this imperial merchant is much more powerful than the Hu family, and he is also related to the palace, and I heard that he is not in agreement with his brother, if he can get acquainted with this person......

Seeing Hu Fei in deep thought, Chunying bit her lip and lowered her head.

Hu Fei seems to be very careful about the idea of opening a store, and he went out for several days to inquire about the store, and really let him rent a shop in the front and back yard near the Jiuxiang Pavilion. After Chunying found out, she was both happy for him and a little sad: "Then when will you move over?" ”

Hu Fei smiled: "How can it be so fast? The house is very old, and I need to repaint it, and maybe I'll have to ask my sister to clean it up for me. I'm going to get rid of all the goods I have and pick a better batch to buy. Opening a shop is not as good as being a seller, and there are more goods to buy! ”

Chunying smiled reluctantly: "Is there anything I can do?" Shall I make more connections for you? She found that among the products she made, the various colors with beads were the most popular. The work is naturally familiar, and it doesn't take half an hour for her to play a network now!

Hu Fei naturally responded happily, and said: "I'll go and buy a batch of good beads such as coral, agate, lapis lazuli, and clams tomorrow, and bother the girl to play more novel tricks." ”

However, his plan was not realized before it could be realized, and he suffered a blow. The owner of the house suddenly changed his mind and wanted to sell the shop to another buyer, who was said to have offered a high price. Because the documents had not yet been officially filed in the government, Hu Fei had no choice but to give up the store in a hurry. He was stuffy at home for a long time, and his face was very dark all the time.

Chunying asked worriedly, "Could it be...... Your big brother? ”

Hu Fei sneered: "What kind of place does he think is there?" Allow him to go wild at will?! ”

He went out for a few more days, and then found another shop, and bought it quickly. Although it is a little far away from Jiuxiangju, it is even closer to the Teaching Workshop Division. He was in a much better mood, thinking that he knew a few powerful nobles, maybe better than an imperial merchant.

Just buying a shop, it's much more expensive than renting. Chunying calculated the rest of her savings, and said to him: "The silver is not enough, isn't it better for us not to buy too many high-end goods?" It's better to go to the neighborhood store and see what others are selling, but don't repeat it to others. As long as the style is novel, it is cheaper. "Not everyone in the Qinglou is rich.

Hu Fei thought about it and was about to speak, but he heard a cry outside the door, which seemed to be very miserable. He frowned: "There are no other people in the alley, who is crying?" Could it be that something bad happened to the neighbors? ”

Chun Ying hurriedly got up to find the door, Wei Po had already opened the courtyard door first, and was looking out, but was startled: "Who are you?" What are you doing in front of my house?! ”

Chunying and Hu Fei walked over one after another, and were surprised to see a large number of people standing outside the door, old and young, men and women, all looking shabby and dressed. Suddenly, a baby cry came, she looked around, and found that it was Ah Fan, holding the baby in her arms, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and crying.

A man in his fifties, trembling, walked up and said, "Second Young Master...... Please save us! After saying that, he fell to his knees, and a bunch of people also knelt down.

Chun Ying was taken aback, and Wei Po was even more at a loss: "What are you doing!" Alas......" They all looked back at Hu Fei, whose face was already iron-blue.
