Ten days have passed, He Qiaoxin's "Luhe Evening Park" has spread all over the country, the name of the young prodigy and genius has resounded throughout the capital, and the four poems written by the Jiangxi political envoy to participate in the poetry meeting have also spread to the capital, and even the people in the capital know He Qiaoxin's name, and Yu Qian's popularity has completely subsided.

At the beginning of October, He Wenyuan finally came back from Lianghuai, returned home and had dinner with his family and Hemeimei, talked about what he saw and heard on the way, and gave his wife Xu and He Zhong and He Qiaofu, the two brothers opened a lot of knowledge, only He Qiaoxin sneered at this at the dinner table, others don't know, he can know that this time He Wenyuan Qin sent two Huai on business, how can he say so easily.

The family had dinner, He Wenyuan, He Zhong and He Qiaoxin sat at the stone table in the courtyard and drank tea, He Zhong also wanted to listen to He Wenyuan talk about the scenery of the two Huai, He Qiaoxin asked He Zhong to go back to his room to prepare the poetry meeting on the grounds that tomorrow's poetry meeting was particularly important, and it was really useful, He Zhong went back to the room with great interest to write his homework.

He Wenyuan saw that the younger son took the eldest son away, and knew that He Qiaoxin must have something to find him, over the years, as long as He Qiaoxin had something important, and he didn't want his eldest brother and second brother to get involved, it would be like this, He Wenyuan had already seen through it, motioned He Qiaoxin to follow, and came to He Wenyuan's study, and the two of them sat opposite each other.

"Qiao Xin is looking for a father for something, right?"

He Wenyuan knows He Qiaoxin, he knows that he doesn't have to beat around the bush with his children, even if he beats around the bush, he can't fool He Qiaoxin, although He Qiaoxin is only nine years old, but He Wenyuan has always had a feeling that He Qiaoxin is like a weathered person, this is not just to say that He Qiaoxin is smart, but just like a person with experience and experience.

He Wenyuan asked, He Qiaoxin was not delicate, and he also looked at He Wenyuan and said the purpose directly.

"Father, the child wants to borrow five hundred taels of silver from you."

He Wenyuan frowned, for the official integrity, although the family background is good, it is also a few generations of Yuyin, several generations in Jiangxi have been in business, and have a lot of land and real estate, but this family throws away food and drink a year, and gives the reward money to the house slave maid, and the annual income can be left more than 1,000 taels, and it is still a little difficult to take half of the income at once.

He Wenyuan has always known that every time He Qiaoxin uses a large amount of silver, he is making some strange things, this time I am afraid it is, but this time the silver taels used are greatly beyond the amount of He Fu's annual emergency advance, every time He Qiaoxin has a new idea, it is withdrawn from the annual emergency advance of two hundred and sixty taels, this time I am afraid it is not enough to find himself.

He Wenyuan was thinking about whether to give it, and He Qiaoxin, who was watching him next to him, said again: "Father, the child is going to do some business this time and earn some silver taels to improve the family, but the child's monthly monthly money and the emergency advance money that can be withdrawn are still half of the difference, so the child dared to borrow five hundred taels of silver from his father, and he will return it in a few months." ”

He Wenyuan looked at He Qiaoxin's solemn face, for his third son, He Wenyuan has always been very proud, He Qiaoxin has been more competitive since he was a child, his eldest son He Zhongda only won Xiucai the year before last, and his second son He Qiaofu was also last year, but the youngest son He Qiaoxin, who has only been in school for four years, also won Xiucai this year, according to the previous stage of his own study, there is great hope for him to be admitted next year, plus He Qiaoxin has done a few poems that are enough to pass down the generations over the years, and he has always been more at ease with him.

"Qiao Xin, what are you planning to do and can you tell your father?"

He Qiaoxin smiled slightly, then bowed to He Wenyuan, and said:

"Father, you always believe that the child is, as for what kind of business, please ransom the child and can't tell me for the time being."

I thought to myself, let him go, I can't lose half a year's harvest, it's really a failure, and it can also make my smart child study more seriously, picked up a pen, and wrote a note.

"Don't ask for your father, you take this note to find He San, and ask him to take you to the account office to withdraw the five hundred taels of silver, and you will also take this year's emergency advance money, because my father has just returned from Lianghuai, and I want to rest when I am a little tired, so you can do it yourself."

"Father, you should rest early, the child will not be disturbed, and the child will retire." After giving He Wenyuan a salute, He Qiaoxin walked out of the study with a note worth five hundred taels of silver written by He Wenyuan just now, and walked towards the room of He San, the housekeeper in the front hall.

He San is different from other subordinates, the other subordinates in He Mansion all live in the miscellaneous courtyard, including the cooks who cook and cook, only He San has his own room in the front hall, and there is no need to have several people in a room in the miscellaneous courtyard like other subordinates.

When he came to the door of He San's room, He Qiaoxin didn't knock on the door, what did the child knock on, and he was the third young master in the house, he pushed the door directly and went in, He Qiaoxin was dumbfounded, if the soul was really a nine-year-old child, it would be nothing, but He Qiaoxin was twenty-five in his previous life, and he was nine years old in this life, and he was more than thirty years old together.

The scene in front of him made Chen Qiaoxin still feel spicy, and he couldn't help but look stunned for a while, the two bodies in the room in front of him were simply naked, and on the bed was a white woman facing outward, and not far from the bed, he saw the housekeeper He San taking off the last fig leaf.

The two of Bai Huahua were also a little shocked, He San maintained the action of undressing, the woman on the bed was He San's mother-in-law Xiuniang, Xiuniang looked at He Qiaoxin and was also dumbfounded, and after a minute, He Qiaoxin broke the deadlock with a voice.

"Third uncle, what are you doing with the third aunt This is, I have something to do with youThird uncle, can you go out with me?" Pretending not to understand anything, a little expression full of curiosity was reflected on his face, and he just looked at He San.

He Qiaoxin's words made He San and his mother-in-law Xiuniang react, and the two hurriedly put on their clothes, and when they were dressing, He San was still in the middle of Xiuniang and He Qiaoxin.

followed He Qiaoxin out of the room, and heard "Ah! With a bang, He Qiaoxin knew what was going on, and he still looked at He San with curiosity on his face.

"Hey! Third uncle, what's wrong with the third aunt, isn't something wrong? ”

Although He San knew that He Qiaoxin was eccentric and intelligent, he didn't think so deeply, he felt that He Qiaoxin knew what was going on in this room, He Qiaoxin was so big, and he also witnessed and took care of it with his own eyes, just when He Qiaoxin was curious, he showed a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying and said:

"Third young master, it's nothing, I'm practicing my voice and singing songs, this is the opening of my voice in that preparation stage."

As soon as He Qiaoxin heard this, he knew that it was okay, otherwise tomorrow it would have been time to spread the rumor that the third young master of He Mansion was peeking at others or something, and an expression of understanding appeared on his face, and he said: "I see, the third aunt is really versatile." ”

He San: "Hehe! ”

The two of them turned around to wipe their sweat without a trace, and turned around again when they were done. He San looked at He Qiaoxin, He Qiaoxin came to find him something, and he must do it as a housekeeper, so he said:

"Third young master, what do you have to tell the old slave?"

He Qiaoxin took out the note written by He Wenyuan and handed it to He San, He San glanced at it, and when he was done, he stood there and listened to He Qiaoxin quietly.

"He San, I want to do a small business, but the start-up capital is not enough, that is, the silver is not enough, so I asked my father to borrow five hundred taels, this is a note from my father, you take me to the account where to withdraw it, you put it away, put it together with my silver, how to do it tomorrow, I will take you to do it tomorrow."

As soon as He San heard it, he knew that He Qiaoxin was another moth, but He San didn't care, the biggest head of He Mansion, He Wenyuan, the lord of He Mansion, agreed, don't mix with one of your subordinates, the master commanded, just do it.

"Okay, Third Young Master! I'll go and withdraw it, and I'll come to you tomorrow morning with the money. ”

After He Qiaoxin finished ordering, he walked out of here, returned to his room in the inner courtyard from the front hall, closed the door, and heard He Qiaoxin say:

"He San, that's so small! I can't see it, the third aunt is quite white and towering..."

He Qiaoxin couldn't help but think of the beauties who gradually faded in his memory, the third aunt Xiuniang is only twenty-nine years old this year, she is in her youth, and women in their thirties are the most amorous.

In He San's room in the front hall, He San, who returned to the room, saw Xiuniang who got up from the bed and asked anxiously:

"Husband, the third young master saw it, he won't know what we're doing, right?"

He San had already put down his worried heart just now at this time, looking at the lady's anxious question, He San held a pair of softness, and said calmly: "Don't worry, lady, the third young master is only nine years old, and no one teaches him about male and female love, he doesn't know what we want to do, and relax." ”

Maybe it was out of trust in her husband, or maybe it was because the third young master was too young, Xiuniang's heart was relaxed, her hand was held by He San, and her heart that had just been stimulated warmed up again, and she said to He San with light eyes:

"Husband, it's time to rest..."

Looking at the lady's hot eyes, holding a pair of white and tender Rouyi, and looking at the lady's skin like congealed fat, He San was really excited, and he didn't even react in his body, mainly because he was really scared just now.

"That lady, another day, I'm now... That one... Seems to be a bit of a problem... up..."

Xiuniang: "Hehe! ”

He San showed embarrassment on his face, and he took off five by two cleanly, Xiuniang looked at it and thought to herself, the man is duplicitous.

Xiuniang turned off the light, walked to the bed, took off her clothes, and climbed into bed.

Half an hour later, I heard Xiuniang say to He San: "Waste! Don't sleep in bed tonight, make a bunk! ”

After speaking, he kicked He San out of bed, and by the moonlight, he could see that He San was at a loss, and there was a kind of sadness, and a worried emotion was reflected on He San's face that had just passed his thirty-fourth birthday the day before yesterday.

After a night of nothing, He Qiaoxin had breakfast in the morning, and saw that He Sanshan was late, his face was blue and purple, and there were a few obvious nail marks, He Qiaoxin couldn't help but show an expression of listening to gossip that had not been revealed for a long time, and asked:

"Third uncle, what's wrong, you had a fight with the third aunt last night?"

He San's smile gradually disappeared, looking at He Qiaoxin with grief and indignation, then twisted his face to the side, and replied while crying: "No, it was just that I was asked to lay on the floor yesterday, maybe it was that one who came, I climbed into bed three times, kicked me down three times, and finally punched and kicked me." ”

"Oh!"

He San: "Hehe"

Everything was ready, with the housekeeper He San and his party of twelve, dragging four empty boxes, one was not satisfied with the box containing all the silver taels of He Qiaoxin, a total of five people walked towards the outside of He Mansion, and the first stop was the ready-to-wear shop not far from He Mansion.

Liliang Garment Shop is the largest garment shop in Beijing and the largest north of the Yellow River. Liliang garment shop was built in the first year of Yongle, the boss of that year was a craftsman who made clothes in the palace of Yingtianfu in the Jianwen Dynasty, Emperor Wen pro-monarch side, entered Yingtianfu, broke through the imperial city, Yingtianfu was also called the capital at that time, and later moved the capital, here became the new capital, Liliang also followed the fate of the arrangement, followed the flow to the new capital, opened a garment shop, to now, Liliang garment shop has become the largest and most famous garment shop in the capital with the principle of quality first, and is deeply loved by the dignitaries and nobles, down to the peddlers and pawns.

He Qiaoxin took people and dragged five boxes into the ready-to-wear shop, He Qiaoxin shouted: "Boss, there is a big business of five hundred taels." ”

The shopkeeper and the guy of the ready-to-wear shop also heard the shouting, and also noticed He Qiaoxin and his party, the shopkeeper also knew He Qiaoxin, who lived so close, He Qiaoxin was still so famous.

There were also people in the ready-to-wear shop who came to buy clothes and fabrics, and they were also attracted by this voice, and they saw a child about ten years old leading a group of people to the checkout counter of the store.

Inside the counter, a professional smile appeared at the shopkeeper, looked at He Qiaoxin and said, "What happened to Third Young Master He?" I don't know what the big business of 500 taels you just talked about? ”

He Qiaoxin motioned to his subordinates to put down the box, and then looked at this shopkeeper who was obviously specially selected by Liliang Garment Shop, just like the models of later generations, nearly one meter nine tall, good guy, He Qiaoxin was also shocked, you must know that it has been in this era for so long, and the general height in this era is only about one meter six or eight.

He Qiaoxin looked at the shopkeeper and smiled first, and then said, "You can't be the master, you let your boss come out and talk to me." ”

Although he was said to be unable to be the master, the shopkeeper still didn't dare to slack off, and replied with a salute: "Then Third Young Master He will wait for a while, and I will ask for instructions." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he walked to the inner hall in the back.

In a room in the inner hall, a short and fat figure dressed in brocade drank tea, listened to the report of the tall shopkeeper, and then listened to the short and fat figure say to the shopkeeper:

"Is it the third young master of He Mansion, the prodigy He Qiaoxin?"

The shopkeeper bent down, and was nearly one meter six high, and bowed back again: "Back to the owner, it is the He Qiaoxin who did "Luhe Evening Park" in the previous stage, and the third young master He who lives in Hefu on our street." ”

The short and fat figure is the owner of the generation of Liliang Garment Shop, named Limin. After a moment of contemplation, he put down the teacup and instructed the shopkeeper to begin his command.

"Ask someone to make a pot of tea from my treasure, and when you're done, I'll go ahead and bring Third Young Master He and them into the backyard."

The shopkeeper replied, walked out of the room, and then returned to the front store, explained to He Qiaoxin, and walked towards the backyard with He Qiaoxin and his party.

Seeing that everyone in the store is gone, they continue to choose their favorite clothes and fabrics.

In the backyard, He Qiaoxin saw Limin, stepped forward and gave a salute, asking people to put the boxes in a row. Seeing this scene, Limin was also a little curious, the name of this Third Young Master He prodigy resounded throughout the Ming Dynasty, but he had never heard of Third Young Master He doing business, what kind of business was this big business of five hundred taels.
