Chapter 44: Gossip
Changping Street, the county government study, is brightly lit.
Three or four little guys each carried different things in and out. All the books that were originally neatly placed on the shelves were moved down by the little servant, sorted into different categories, and packed into different wooden boxes.
The prefectural magistrate walked back and forth in the room, meticulously inspecting each wooden box full of books.
Shen Yun stood at the round table and said the news he had heard meticulously.
Shen Ye listened as he checked the wooden box.
"Lin Cheng didn't have any business dealings with the Li Mansion before. Since the opening of the gambling house, I have visited Mr. Li from time to time. In the past month, several small transactions have been made one after another, most of which are grain and cloth. Shen Yun said as he looked curiously at the county magistrate bending down to check the books in the box on the ground, and felt that this scene was very strange.
"Small business?" Shen Ye asked rhetorically.
Shen Yun nodded, "A few hundred taels of business." "It's a small deal, right......
Shen Ye straightened up, took the cloth towel on the side and wiped the floating ash on his hands, glanced at Shen Yun, came to the round table and sat down, took a sip of tea, and said to the two little guys who were still cleaning up: "You go down first, and then come back tomorrow to tidy up." ”
When the two little servants heard the adult's command, they immediately put down the books in their hands and bowed out.
"Sit down and talk." Shen Ye poured a cup of tea and pushed it over, "Li Bozhou is the owner of the gambling house, if Lin Cheng is the idea of the gambling house, but he is going around and doing some business with the Li Mansion that has nothing to do with the gambling house......"
"Cast a long line to catch a big fish!" Shen Yun said immediately.
Knuckles gently tap on the tabletop, and the crisp tapping sound is particularly clear in the silent night. Shen Ye laughed, "Big fish?" If he asks for money, he has a way to deal with it. I'm afraid that behind all this is not for yellow and white things. ”
Shen Yun was silent for a moment and said, "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will regularly inquire about Lin Cheng's actions, just in case." ”
"Well, it's necessary to be guarded." Shen Ye nodded in response, remembering the title deed during the day, and asked, "Can you find out the details of the house on Xiping Street?" ”
Shen Yun heard the adults ask about this, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The adults can move in with confidence." That house has nothing to do with Liu Fuyin. Liu Xiong was because he had developed his business in Xingyuan Mansion, so he took all his family members in Meizhou to Xingyuan Mansion. The old house was vacant for a long time because the price of the sale was too high. ”
Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said with a wry smile: "You also know the ridiculous family affairs that my father set for me, I don't want to have anything to do with Liu Fuyin." ”
Shen Yun nodded in understanding, and in order to comfort the county commander, he deliberately said, "The Xu Mansion is next door to the New Thorn History Mansion." ”
Shen Ye glanced at him puzzled, "Xu Mansion? ”
Why did such an irrelevant sentence suddenly pop up.
"Miss Xu. Young Master Li's cousin. Shen Yun thought that the county magistrate had forgotten, so he had to add an explanation.
Only then did Shen Ye react.
So, if he moves to Sai Ping Street, will he be next to the woman?
In my mind, I suddenly thought of the beautiful shadow of the woman smiling in the sea of flowers in Meishan that day. The prefectural magistrate felt that it was a little interesting to be neighbors to each other in the future......
Xiping Street, the backyard of Xufu, the lights are swaying.
In the huge tub, the hot water gradually overflowed the woman's shoulders. The heat blurred the vision.
Xu Yao rolled up her sleeves and kept pouring hot water into the bucket, and when she saw that Miss was soaked in water from the neck down, she put down the small bucket, picked up the bath towel on the side, and said softly: "Miss wake up, it's time to start wiping her back!" ”
Xu Qinghe squinted his eyes and leaned forward in a daze, revealing his back.
Xu Yao gently wiped the delicate and fair skin under her hands, and gossiped: "Miss, what do you think of Liu Xiucai?" ”
Xu Qinghe was soaked in hot water and his whole body was comfortable and soft, and when he heard the little girl's question, he yawned before he said, "Liu Langjun?" That's great! Much more polite than Li Xiucai......"
Xu Yao laughed secretly, "Does that young lady like him?" ”
Xu Qinghe waited until the little girl finished wiping her back, and her upper body immediately went back, leaning comfortably on the edge of the bathtub. "Why do you care about these things as much as your mother?"
Xu Yao grabbed Miss's right arm, wiped it, and said, "Does A-Yao care about Miss...... Liu Xiucai has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she looks at it, doesn't Miss like it? ”
Xu Qinghe closed his eyes and relaxed to feel the rippling water waves around him. The smile on the corner of his lips deepened, "Clear eyebrows? It turns out that Ah Yao likes Xiao Langjun with clear eyebrows......"
Liu Chengxu looks very handsome, but he should be in his twenties!
Xu Yao blushed for a while when she heard Miss teasing herself, and saw that Miss couldn't see with her eyes closed, so she had the courage to ask, "Don't Miss like it?" ”
Xu Qinghe was silent for a moment, Liu Chengxu's appearance flashed in his mind, and he said cowardly: "I don't like it...... He looks a little thin......"
Xu Yao immediately reacted keenly, and grinned: "It turns out that Miss likes Lang Jun with a great figure......
"Big? I like that word. A few strands of wet hair stuck to his face, and Xu Qinghe raised his finger to hook it behind his ear.
Xu Yao went around to the other side of the bathtub, grabbed the young lady's left arm and rubbed it gently, suddenly remembered the trip to Meishan, and asked softly, "What does the young lady think of the posture of the county magistrate?" ”
As soon as the little girl's voice came into his ears, Xu Qinghe's mind automatically appeared in his mind the back of the man when he climbed the stone steps that day, with straight arms and narrow waist, long legs and straight back, strong physique, steady as flying......
Xu Yao caught a glimpse of Xu Qinghe's stunned expression, and was silent for a long time, and suddenly felt that there was a play. "What do you think of the posture of the prefectural magistrate?"
Xu Qinghe muttered and replied, "It's okay......"
Xu Yao was secretly happy in her heart, and deliberately teased: "Miss is so shy that her ears are red!" It seems that the young lady is the lord of the county order of Italy......"
Xu Qinghe suddenly came to his senses, covered his cold ears with wet hands, and saw the smile on the little girl's face, so he put down his hand and picked up a series of water splashes, and scolded: "Is it possible to get fat today?" Makes fun of me! ”
Xu Yao smiled and hid sideways, and waited until the splash gradually faded before she came over and continued to serve, "Miss, don't worry, A-Yao won't talk nonsense." ”
Xu Qinghe smiled, "What kind of heart, what to say!" I don't think about anything other than respect for the prefectural magistrate. ”
Xu Yao nodded to show understanding, respect is also love?
"Little girl, I'm thinking about it all day long." Xu Qinghe reprimanded lightly, "Don't talk about the county order behind your back in the future, the officials are more important than the people, and you can't afford to provoke them." Do you hear that? ”
Xu Yao nodded heavily and said with a smile: "Ah Yao heard it, and promised not to talk nonsense in the future." ”
