Chapter 351: Hu Fei Gets Out
Chapter 351: Hu Fei Gets Out
Li You was dumbfounded. I couldn't speak for a long time, but there was a faint fear in my heart: what Chunying said turned out to be true...... He shuddered.
The courtyard was silent, only a gust of wind blew, which rustled the branches and leaves outside the window. Chunying stood by the door and stared at Li You, who slowly sat down on the chair and raised his hand to cover his face.
Lixia carefully moved his feet outside the door and said softly, "Third Young Master, outside...... There is a Hu Gongzi to worship. ”
Hu Fei is here? Chunying was stunned, turned around and walked out. Li You jumped up quickly to stop her, and turned his head to Lixia: "Please let him in!" He turned back and looked at Chun Ying with a pleading gaze: "I won't force you, really!" ”
Chun Ying sneered: "Even if you force it, it's useless." You can't deal with me alone, let alone add him?! She sat down again, and glanced out the window lightly: "The girl outside, but her name is Momiji?" Please add me some hot tea! ”
Hongye couldn't dodge, and was stared at by Li You, his face suddenly turned red, and he answered in a whisper, hurriedly brought the teapot over to add it, glanced at Li You timidly, and hummed like a mosquito: "Mrs...... Just called for ...... The third young master's homework is important...... Don't patronize and say hello...... I don't know where to get a cheap relative......"
Chun Ying chuckled, and Li You's face turned purple. Gritted his teeth: "Get out of here!" Momiji ran as fast as he could. Chun Ying glanced at Li You mockingly, Li You's eyes were closed, and when he opened them again, he had already returned to clarity. He said lightly, "Thank you for your words." ”
Chun Ying said lightly: "I'm not for you, just for the people in this mansion who are from the same background as me, but are still struggling to survive here." If the Hou Mansion is defeated, they will be countless times more miserable than you! ”
Li You was silent, he seemed to finally realize that Chunying was different from any girl he had met before, she did not have the consciousness of being a servant in front of the master of the Hou Mansion, she was really happy that she had escaped the control of the Hou Mansion, she did not regard herself as a master at all from the heart, and she cared more about the children of other families than about herself. How did things get to this point? He didn't find out that she had these thoughts before, because her mother beat her and drove her family to the village, but he didn't help, or because he arranged her marriage without authorization?
There's no point in regretting it now, perhaps...... He should change his attitude towards the people around him, whether it be his mother, his wife, or the male and female servants in the house. He really can't accept the future described in Chunying's words, and in order to avoid that tragic ending, he is willing to do anything!
There was a small commotion outside the courtyard gate, Chunying hurriedly turned her eyes in that direction, and the girls and daughters-in-law gathered in the front yard hid in the house in a panic, because a strange man strode into the courtyard gate. Chun Ying got up to meet him and smiled at the man: "You're here?" "It turned out to be Hu Fei.
Hu Fei nodded, reached out to hold her hand, with anger and concern in his eyes: "Are you okay?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"
"It's fine." Chun Ying glanced at the study, "The little kid is not sensible. Taught me a lesson. ”
Hu Fei couldn't hold back for a while, laughed out loud, and hurriedly straightened his face again, his eyes were no longer angry, and his expression was much more relaxed: "I know that my lady is out of the horse, how can these sons and brothers be opponents?!" ”
Chun Ying glanced at him, and Li You's kind words came from behind him: "Mr. Hu is here?" Come in, please. When he turned around, he found that he had wiped the tears on his face, hurriedly sorted out his clothes, solemnized the expression on his face, and invited Hu Fei into the study to sit in a polite tone mixed with respect.
Hu Fei's face sank again, and he said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Li Sanshao is polite, I just came to pick up my wife today, I don't dare to stay longer, can we leave now?!" ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Li You's face, and he could only stubbornly say: "I have something important to ask Mr. for advice, and I ask Mr. to teach me." I was reckless before, and if there is anything I have offended, I ask you to forgive me. "Say goodbye and bow a long bow. Plunged to the ground.
Chun Ying's eyes widened in surprise, and Lixia, who was standing by the courtyard gate, couldn't help but exclaim: "Third Young Master! There was a commotion among the girls in the front yard. When had they seen the Third Young Master so solemn and respectful? Isn't it the husband who used to wait in the house and marry a girl from an ordinary rich family? Qualified to receive such a big gift from the third young master? Is he really that promising?
Hu Fei felt the gaze of everyone on him, but he didn't care. He hasn't experienced the scene? How could you be frightened by such a small accident? He gave his worried wife a reassuring look, and then lightly replied to Li You: "Li Sanshao is polite, Hu can't afford your gift!" That being said, his expression showed that he didn't have the slightest idea of "not being worthy".
Li You's face flushed, and he turned sideways to get out of the door: "I really want to ask you for advice, please give me advice." ”
Seeing that he was still not giving up, Chun Ying frowned, secretly pulled Hu Fei's sleeve with his hand, and shook his head secretly. Hu Fei smiled at her, held her hand with his backhand, and swaggered into the study, Chunying couldn't help but be secretly anxious, and whispered softly: "This is a troublesome matter!" ”
Hu Fei also whispered: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”
Chun Ying had no choice but to keep silent, but she was still puzzled in her heart, would Hu Feiwei be so sure? He didn't even have time to figure out the Third Young Master's purpose in calling him here.
Hu Fei pulled Chunying into the door, and at the invitation of Li You, he generously sat down in the first position on the left, whether it was etiquette, demeanor or speaking, he was very decent, not like a businessman at all, but some officialdom figures, nobles' children. Li You was polite, and secretly frightened, I haven't seen him for a few years, and the little person who was just a little person with some potential but humble back then would actually become like this. You really can't underestimate him!
Chunying wasn't sure what Hu Fei wanted to do, but looking at his posture, he seemed to be confident, so he also suppressed the uneasiness on his face and calmly and generously cooperated with his actions. Li You changed his order to Lixia to serve new tea, invited it again, and repelled left and right with confidence, even Lixia was only allowed to stay outside the gate of the second courtyard, so he said what Fang Cai said to Chunying simply and clearly, and showed the account book to Hu Fei, and then lowered his head and listened to Hu Fei's advice.
Hu Fei flipped through the account book slowly, and the expression on his face did not change at all, as if he had known that there was such a thing. Affected by his attitude, Chunying also threw away her original surprise and looked at the furnishings in the study with interest. Since Li You became a parent, Huanhuaxuan rebuilt, she has never entered this inner courtyard, this is the first time she has seen the furnishings of the study, to be honest, it feels not as elegant as the small study room in the main house in the past, there are less ancient calligraphy and paintings in the house, but more antique treasures. Some of them are fat, could it be that Fan Xiru cleaned them up? This is one of the duties of a wife.
Sweat gradually broke out on Li You's forehead, and his breathing became a little heavier. couldn't see Hu Fei's thoughts, which made him feel a little impatient in his heart.
Hu Fei flipped through the last page of the account book, returned it to Li You, and then smiled slightly: "What does Li Sanshao mean...... Want to dedicate this object to the Imperial Palace? In order to? You must know that there are not one or two people involved here, and many of them are relatives and friends in the house. ”
Li You pursed his lips and held the account book: "Why don't I know this truth?" It's just that...... Now that our family is in trouble, we have to do something to prove the loyalty of the Li family to the Holy Lord, and there is nothing like this...... It is a testament to our sincerity. I know that too...... The great families married each other. Generations of friends, is a good helper in case of trouble, but it is also a **annoyance, in the eyes of the superiors, water can carry a boat, but also can overturn the boat, the saint naturally does not want to be restrained by others. Now that the political situation is calm, the Holy Lord has eradicated most of the opposition to the party, and the rest are just some minions, not to be afraid. I cut off my arm first, firstly as a sign of faithfulness, and secondly...... It is also the intention of preserving the family. ”
Chun Ying raised her eyebrows, feeling that the third young master was not stupid yet, and sometimes he had some good ideas, of course, he was still far behind, and he was not thoughtful enough to consider things.
Hu Fei smiled slightly: "I see, it's rare that Li San has such painstaking efforts, but I don't know what Li Hou Ye thinks?" ”
Li You's face was bitter: "Father hopes not to do too much, if he can, he just needs to let the saint know that it is the account book we offered, and there is no need to let others know, so that even if those world friends are guilty, they will not resent us." My father's concerns are also reasonable, in case our family loses its arm, it will be useless to the saints, and we will ...... in the future I'm afraid that there will also be a day when it will be eradicated, and then the Holy One will not even have to take action himself, and there will be people who hate our family and worry about the king......"
Hu Fei nodded: "I understand." When Li You heard this, his face suddenly lit up. He knew that Hu Fei had some relationship with the people in the General Administration Department, and he might even be one of the emperor's secret agents stationed in Jiangnan, and revealing these words to Hu Fei was equivalent to revealing them to the emperor. As long as the other party agrees to transfer the account book, the current crisis of the Hou Mansion should have been half gone, right? No mistakes in many words
Just to his surprise, Hu Fei did not mean to accept the account book, but said: "How many Qing guests are in the house?" ”
Li You was stunned, and didn't understand why he asked about this: "Naturally, there are, there are about three or four ......."
"There's a Mr. Au among them, right? No mistakes, not a lot of words"
Li You was puzzled: "Mr. recognizes him?" ”
Hu Fei smiled slightly and pointed to the account book: "Li Sanshao just hand over this thing to him, don't say anything else, don't ask more." ”
Li You was confused, and was about to ask the reason again, when suddenly a flash of inspiration and his face became pale: "That Mr. District, he ...... He ......, "Could it be the eyes and ears that the emperor planted in the Hou Mansion?!" Oh my God, he didn't know anything!
Hu Fei Shi Ran took a sip of tea and said, "Li Sanshao, calm down, is there anything to be afraid of?" You should be glad you are. At least the above will not really think that the government has something to do with the anti-party. ”
Li You gradually calmed down, he finally understood that the emperor knew that the Hou Mansion was loyal, but he still allowed the rumors to run rampant, it must be because he knew the inside story of the mansion, and the father and son indulged Fan Xiru's behavior, which made the emperor dissatisfied, right? There are many mistakes, maybe the emperor is dissatisfied with his reluctance to give up the huge network of the Hou Mansion? He even thinks that he values his relationship with his relatives and friends more than the emperor?! He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
As soon as the thought of whether to pull out the nail popped into his mind, he heard Hu Fei say casually: "Li Sanshao, don't do stupid things." He was shocked and turned his head to look at Hu Fei, who was looking at him with a subtle look: "You are a smart person, so you naturally know what is important." His breathing gradually became chaotic, and he forced himself to suppress the turbulent waves in his heart: "Mr. is right. He can't pull out the nails, on the contrary, he has to let the other party know that he knows that there are nails, but he still takes it calmly.
When Li You finally calmed down, he began to be grateful to Hu Fei for telling him the secret. He stood up again and bowed: "Thank you, sir, for your advice!" Distant...... Appreciate! ”
Hu Fei smiled lightly and replied: "It's easy to say, just by virtue of the relationship between Jing Jing and the house, you can't see death and not save you, it's just that your identity is limited, some things are inconvenient to say clearly, and some things are ...... It's also inconvenient to do. Li Sanshao must have understood? ”
"Yes, I understand, I understand." Li You said respectfully, "I didn't think it through and offended Mr. before. "Bow again and make amends.
Hu Fei snorted and generously forgave him. Chun Ying wanted to laugh when she watched from the side, and there was a sense of joke in her eyes when she looked at her husband - with his relationship with the intelligence organization under the emperor, plus she was the son of the Hou Mansion, it is not strange to be able to find out the name of the emperor's eyes and ears in the Hou Mansion, and it will not affect the overall situation if she says it, but he got rid of the trouble in front of him with this name, and at the same time subdued the third young master with a few vague words, he is really used to seeing big scenes, and even the skills of the people are several times stronger than her?
Hu Fei gave Chunying a look back, as if to remind her not to expose herself, she lowered her head to drink tea, hiding a smile leaking from the corner of her mouth.
Li You's heart fell, and he spoke a little more easily, and when he saw Chunying silent, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mrs. Zun scared me a lot just now, obviously it is just a trivial matter for Mr., in order to prevent me from finding Mr., she almost poked someone with a hairpin." I didn't know she was such a temperament before, but she was so bold and knowledgeable, but she matched her husband tightly. It's a pity that on the big day of the two of you, I didn't know that I couldn't send a congratulatory gift, and I had to make up for it another day! ”
This is revealing the festival of forced marriage back then, right? There are many words without mistakes, Chunying raised her eyes and smiled at him, happy to accompany her husband to pretend to be generous. Hu Fei smiled and arched his hand: "It's easy to say, the third young man is too polite." ”
The three of them were talking happily, but they heard someone shouting outside the door: "Mrs. and the third young grandmother are here!" Then An helped a girl to walk angrily into the courtyard, and Fan Xiru followed behind with a straight face, with a little annoyance between his eyebrows.
An Shi hurriedly walked in, and when he saw other men in the study, he was stunned at first, and then furious: "All the people in this courtyard are dead?!" I won't even report a letter! Don't you even know the rules?! Frightened, Lixia and the others knelt down one after another, but Hongye ran to her, lowered her head and whispered back, as if introducing Hu Fei's identity - it was Chunying's husband.
An Shi was even more annoyed, and said to his son with hatred: "I told you a long time ago, homework matters!" Those things that greet guests will be handed over to the mother, not to mention these relatives who are outside the three routes?! said it was a relative, but in fact it was just a subordinate, why did you bother to do this, but you delayed your homework?! ”
Without waiting for Li You to answer, Fan Xiru said in a slightly harsh tone: "Mother-in-law's words are confused! How can these two be subordinates?! This Hu Gongzi is the righteous son of the prince of Wenjun, and he is the brother-in-law of his daughter-in-law, how did he become his mother-in-law's subordinate? ! When these words spread, I don't know what the people in the Wenjun Mansion will think! ”
"Shut up!" An Shi glared back at her, "You know all day long that you are using your mother's family to suppress my mother-in-law, don't forget, I also have a daughter who is the princess!" It's you who are confused! In front of outsiders, I talked back to my mother-in-law?! ”
Li You's face was pale, and he couldn't help but glance at Hu Fei and Chunying, the former had a faint smile on his face, and seemed to not care at all, but Chunying was staring at him, with mockery in his eyes, and sighed secretly, looking at himself with pity instead.
Commiseration? She wants to have pity on herself? Yes, because of that terrible future......
Li You shivered, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "Mother! My son is entertaining guests, why did you come running from the inner courtyard?! People watched the joke and thought that our family had no rules. You'd better go back! ”
An stopped arguing with his daughter-in-law and looked at his son in surprise: "Brother You, what's wrong with you?!" ”
