Qi Tang leaned against the door of the Wei family and watched the big scene, and the slave next to him muttered in a low voice, "Shizi, slave look, the surname Shen obviously has different thoughts about the little lady of the Ye family." Hey, it's ugly, it's ugly. ”

Qi Tang mocked, "The toad wants to eat swan meat and hits the south wall." ”

Wei Da came out for a while, leaning his arms against the door panel, staring at the farce outside the Ye family's door.

After Qi Tang finished watching the excitement, he turned around and nodded at Wei Da reservedly, "The Ye family is finished with excitement, can you take me to see my cousin?" First, thank him for remembering and going to the county government to protect me; Second, I came out in a hurry this time, and I didn't have enough money on hand, so I wanted to borrow some flowers and money with my cousin. ”

Wei Da entered and returned. Soon after, he opened the door to welcome guests and led Qi Tang into the wooden building in the backyard.

The inside and outside of the wooden building are filled with the fragrance of tea. When Qi Tang went upstairs, Wei Huan was sitting in the wooden building, with a tea paste and tea vessel on the long table in front of him, and he was ordering tea.

Qi Tang opened his mouth and said, "Cousin, did you hear the bustle outside just now?" Then Shen Li's shot is a box of money mountain, how can I lose to a mere businessman? I want to borrow some money from my cousin and prepare for the Ye family's atonement. ”

Wei Da described the situation outside the Ye family just now in a low voice, and Wei Huan listened without moving: "The Ye family said, I don't want your apology." ”

Qi Tang insisted on giving, and he wanted to give generous gifts.

"How much do you give?" Wei Huan asked.

"Two thousand taels of silver, eighty pieces of twenty-five taels of official silver ingots, fill a whole box with them. The Wei family shouldn't be short of this money, right? ”

"The Wei family is indeed not short of this money," Wei Huan prepared the tea paste, slowly poured in the boiling water, whisked the foam several times, finished ordering the tea, but did not drink it, observed the traces of the tea in the light, and splashed the tea.

Instead, he picked up the soup bowl, slowly scooped the mung bean and lily soup from the bowl, and took a sip, "But why should I borrow you?" Why do you insist on sending generous gifts to the Ye family? Make it clear. ”

"Ask my cousin to do it." Qi Tang didn't think it was a big deal, and he said the reason in a grand manner.

"Don't hide it from my cousin, the little lady of the Ye family next door has a beautiful appearance and a temperament that suits my heart, and I want to accept her as a concubine. The so-called atonement ceremony is nothing more than an excuse to come to the door, and it doesn't hurt to be generous. ”

——

There was a cacophony of screaming and howling outside the Wei family.

Su Qiu inquired through the door, and told Ye Fuliu with a smile:

"The cousin of the Wei family next door and his group of slaves were driven out again. This time, he was directly swept out of the Wei family by a big bamboo broom, and he was disgraced and embarrassed. ”

Chapter 32

The scorching summer has entered July, and the autumn has begun.

The pigeon whistle sounded, and the gray and white carrier pigeons flew in flocks over the small courtyard.

He rode a fast horse into Wukou Town, stirred up pieces of smoke and dust behind him, and went straight to Wei's house at the end of the long street in the north.

In the surprised eyes of the surrounding neighbors, the Wei family opened the door without a sound and directly let the guests in.

The lady of the Wang family, who has always talked a lot, was amazed, "She is a lean and lean man." There are a lot of dragon and tiger tattoos on his neck and arms, and he looks at his face and is so fierce, he is definitely not a cure! ”

The lady of the Li family took over the conversation, "Maybe it's the Wei family's newly recruited nursing home?" Don't look at Wei Jialangjun's crooked illness, he has a lot of property! There were a lot of gold cakes in the warehouse, and the town had already spread all over the town. ”

"The Wei family should have asked for a nursing home a long time ago. The main family is sick, and only Wei Da is the only one in the family to take care of, where can he be busy inside and outside. The lady of the Wang family muttered in a low voice, "You see his cousin who has come to the door three times and twice to cause trouble, who knows if he is eyeing the Wei family's wealth......

Su Qiu closed the door, turned around and reported to Ye Fuliu.

"Lady, Wei Da came to say hello just now, saying that there was a new person in the family, called Wei Er. Wei Er is a good pigeon breeder, and if the Wei family's pigeons fall into the Ye family's yard and do not leave, they can directly call Wei Er to catch them. ”

Ye Fuliu had just finished eating the morning meal, and was sitting under the porch fiddling with the seven-ring secret lock of the small Nanmu box, and he was happy to hear it.

"What's going on with the Wei family, the names of the servants are getting slower than the other. Is it called Wei San to invite another one? ”

Su Qiu couldn't help but smile, "I can't stop it. Wei Jialangjun did three by himself. ”

"Then skip three, and call Wei Si directly next?" Ye Fuliu lazily threw away the wooden box and stretched, "Wei Sanlang Jun loves to be clean." It's rare for him to add people to his family, who knows if there will be a next time, don't worry about others. ”

Just as Qin Long had run out of food, she beckoned people to get up, "Let's go, go to Wei's house to add ice." ”

In the middle of summer, the sun is fierce, and people are too lazy to go out and walk around with nothing to do. Since she broke up with Shen Li, of course, the business agreement between the two families has not been counted, and the batch of Han bricks has not yet found a new buyer, so she is not in a hurry to go out to find it, so she leaves it at the neighbor's house.

It's hot and the ice melts quickly. She agreed with the Wei family that Bingjian would be maintained once every two days. She used to pour ice and water today, and by the way, she glanced at the big treasures hidden behind the ice wall of the secret door.

Wei Da familiarly led Ye Fuliu to the wooden building in the backyard.

A big gray-feathered pigeon stopped at the railing of the wooden building, and Wei Huan stood with his back to the staircase, his slender fingers caressing the pigeon's wings. The grey-feathered pigeon narrowed its little eyes timidly and cooed.

Hearing the movement behind him, Wei Huan turned around and bowed slightly. "Here we are."

Ye Fuliu smiled and said hello, "Wei Sanlang is early." ”

Qin Long opened the secret door of the Ice Chamber, took out the remaining residual ice, and then built new ice blocks inside. Ye Fuliu paced to the edge of the two big ice jians, and casually looked in one by one.

More than 200 Han bricks are still safe and sound today.

Ye Fuliu was relieved.

It's nice to have a neighbor who has few people in the house who loves purity.

The air is filled with the fresh and fragrant aroma of tea.

Wei Huan sat on the side of the long case and pushed a cup of tea, "I haven't ordered tea for a long time, my hands are raw, and I can't smell anything." Ye Xiaoniang tastes the taste. ”

Ye Fuliu picked up the teacup and looked at it in the sunlight.

Wei Huan's own rabbit cup before was a single cup, which was used old, and she had seen it many times.

Since the last time he opened the cage and took out a pair of new cups, Wei Huan seemed to suddenly want to open them, and he used these new rabbit cups recently.

Rabbit millimeters are already rare, and silver rabbit millimeters are even more rare. In the unpredictable firing process, there is only one silver rabbit in the thousands of black-glazed porcelain.

"The tea soup is good. Tea cups are also good. Ye Fuliu looked at the rabbit and lowered his head to take a sip of tea, "Before, your cousin came to the door and sent it away without taking a sip of tea, so he didn't bother to order tea for him?" ”

Wei Huan held the other pair of silver rabbits, and looked at the snow-white tea foam with lowered eyes, "I'm too lazy to take the cup out." ”

A faint melted white mist rose from the ice-filled ice. The heat in the wooden building dissipated, and the two sat opposite each other by the long case, talking with each other in the fragrance of tea.

"If you put the teacup under your nose, you still can't smell the aroma at all?"

"Still can't smell anything."

"Isn't drinking tea like drinking plain water? Do you still feel pain in your throat when you drink water? ”

Wei Huan took a sip of warm tea, "It's better." Lin Lang's prescription is effective. ”

"That's excellent, the two golden cakes of the Wei Ye family were finally not given to him in vain." Ye Fuliu sipping tea in small mouths.

The blue tea soup is pleasing to the eye, and the snow-white tea foam hangs on the glazed wall with silver spots on a black background, and the foam is rich in layers and full of fragrance.

Wei Langjun really didn't show his face, and ordered a good tea.

The open space under the wooden building walked past a sturdy back. Wei Da pointed to her beside him, "Little lady Ye, he is Wei Er." Wei Er has been in the Wei family for many years, and when I am not free, it is the same to look for him when I have something. ”

Ye Fuliu looked at it twice in surprise.

It turned out to be the old man of the Wei family for many years.

The newcomer Wei Er was an extremely vigilant person, Ye Fuliu only looked at him from a distance, but he noticed it, stopped and looked back for a moment, and arched his hand in the direction of the wooden building, Ye Fuliu nodded politely.

Wei Er is a practitioner. The eagle looked at the wolf, and the sharp blood on his body could not be concealed, and many lives had been stained in his hands.

Wei Huan sat quietly opposite with a rabbit lamp. The body in the illness was still thin, and it fell in Ye Fuliu's eyes, and this quiet and calm bearing was particularly admirable. The people under him are more and more fierce than the other, and they are really great masters.

Wei Huan quickly noticed the unusual look in her eyes, "What's wrong. See what I have done. ”

Ye Fuliu was sincere and a little emotional. "Look at your family's Wei Da Wei Er, and then look at my family's Qin Long. Hey, how can I wash my hands in peace of mind......"

Qin Long, who was pouring ice cubes: ??

Who did he recruit and provoke whom? Add ice and be disgusted by the master's family?

Wei Huan took a sip of tea soup, "Young lady Ye Shaohua is old, she has only led a caravan for a few years, and she will also think about washing her hands in the golden basin?" ”

The "golden basin washing hands" that Ye Fuliu said is certainly not the "golden basin washing hands" of a serious caravan, and it will not be a matter of recent years.

However, after all, you can't do a business for a lifetime, and when you can't do it anymore, you will always have to wash your hands. Her master reached the age of forty-five and passed on the mantle to her. Her master is said to have reached the age of fifty-eight.

Of course, she didn't make these things to her face, but only vaguely said, "That's it." After going out to do business after fifteen and fifteen, he has only been doing business for three and a half years, so it is too early to talk about washing hands of the golden basin. ”

Wei Huan was a little surprised, but he was not too surprised when he thought about it, and smiled slightly.

"It's not even nineteen? Looking at Ye Xiaoniang's treatment of people and things, she has her own rules, and she is sharp and round, and I should be at least twenty years old...... However, if you look at it alone, it is indeed still small. ”

Jiangnan women are generally born delicate and soft, with a slender skeleton, and he thought she was small before.

Eighteen and a half years old, under the age of nineteen...... He was more than seven years apart.

When he said goodbye to his grandmother's grave and left Jiangnan for the north, she had just been born.

Wei Huan smiled, "How can you be so small?" How can the elders in the family let you go out alone? ”

There was concern in the words, but Ye Fuliu didn't like to hear it.

"If I'm not mistaken, Wei Sanlangjun is twenty-six this year, not sixty-two?" Ye Fuliu added tea soup to the black glazed cups on both sides and pushed it forward, "It's not my parents, don't talk in the tone of an elder, it hurts to listen." Come, take a sip of tea, and speak normally after drinking. ”

Wei Huan quietly raised his glass of tea, took a sip and put it down, and sure enough, he changed the tone of his speech.

"Two days later is the Qixi Qiqiao Festival. I see that you have a lot of things going on there lately, but what kind of holiday things do you need to organize? Ask Wei Da Wei Er to help with some procurement. ”

Qixi Qiqiao is a festival for the daughter's family in the world. Ye Fuliu liked to listen to this sentence, and he bent his eyes happily at that time.

"It's about procuring some. The first three brothers in my family have never had a sister to celebrate the holidays with me since I was a child. Fortunately, Su Qiu and I have been together in the past few years, and we have only gone through a few begging coincidences. ”

Two days ago, Shen Li came to the door to give gifts, but the whole box of gold could not be sent, and the momentum that was bound to be won was frustrated. Shen Li didn't show anything on the surface, and secretly put a lot of informants staring at the Ye family's movements, and when she went out to buy a melon, she would be summoned to spy and follow, which annoyed her.

Thinking of this, Ye Fuliu added, "The festival items were all purchased by Su Qiu before, and she was not relieved that she would go out alone in the past two days." It really needs Wei Da's help in procurement. ”

Compared to Shen Li's ongoing troubles, she asked about another trouble that suddenly stopped moving. "Speaking of which, your cousin didn't come to the door for three or four days in a row, but he went back to Jiangning Mansion?"

"He has official duties on his body and will not be returning anytime soon. But don't worry. Wei Huan took a slow sip of tea, "Recently, he is only afraid that he will not be able to get to the door of the Ye family." ”

Ye Fuliu blinked, "What do you say?" ”

Wei Huan thought about Qi Tang's straightforward sentence "I want to accept her as a concubine", and his heart sank.

Qi Tang has a good face, and since he has the heart of comparison, he has put down his big words. If he can't raise two thousand taels of silver to make amends, he will never go to the Ye family.

Wukou Town is not a big city, two thousand taels of silver is not too much, but a lot less, unless the identity of the prince of the country is moved out, how can it be easily raised in three or two days?

I don't know if his selfish desire to take a concubine will overwhelm his official affairs, whether he will be in a hurry to go to the government to reveal his identity, and use Xuanhe's power to overwhelm others.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Wei Huan's heart, and he only mentioned it in person, "I heard that he is preparing for the Ye family's atonement ceremony everywhere." ”
