Ye Fuliu stood in the door, and touched the jade card with his soft white fingers, which was rare to feel a little troubled.

Originally, the big mountain bandits were matched with the little lady who stole the family, and they were all business-owned, and the two families were right. She invited the third brother to see each other.

Now the mountain bandits have become nobles of the imperial court, and the officials are worthy of stealing, and the door is not right!

Chapter 47

Su Qiu sat in the room and whimpered and cried.

crying that his vision is not good, and he does not know people; Complaining that Wei Da didn't admit it to his face, and he didn't dare to do it.

The more I cried, the more sad I became.

Cry your own sadness.

A large group of mountain bandits came to the door, and they are still talking and laughing loudly next door, and there is no doubt that the Wei family's past deeds are undoubted.

Wei Da is just a neighbor who lives closely, and he meets in the morning and evening, and occasionally gossips about friendship. Even if he dares to do it, he doesn't admit what he did in the past, why does he feel cheated and why is he so sad?

Just as he was crying to the point of being out of breath, the door was slammed twice. Ye Fuliu said outside the door, "Sister Suqiu, I'm in." ”

Su Qiu immediately got up, held back tears and began to pack her baggage.

"I can't stay here. Lady, even if we are stealing for a living, but we have never committed human life in our hands, how can we be neighbors with a gang of bandits next door who are slashing people with knives? You didn't see the posture of their swarming just now, but you can see the fierceness on the mountain! ”

Su Qiu began to cry again in the middle of the conversation, wiping her tears and being ruthless, "Fortunately, the lady's brother arrived overnight, so we don't have to wait for him to come." Lady, pack up now, we'll move out tomorrow morning! ”

Ye Fuliu sighed. The third brother should not be neighbors with the court officials and urge her to move out; Su Qiu didn't want to be neighbors with the mountain bandits, and urged him to move away; The reasons on both sides are very different, how do you think of going to one place, you have to pack up your things and move out overnight!

She doesn't want to move out yet.

Therefore, I came to persuade Su Qiu first.

"It's true that Wei Da has cut people, but the Wei family is really not a mountain bandit."

She pulled Su Qiu and whispered a few words in her ear. Su Qiu's eyes widened and snapped, and the clothes she had packed in her hands fell to the ground.

"Isn't the Wei family?" Su Qiu asked suspiciously, "That bandit posture just now, is it actually an officer and soldier?" I don't believe it. ”

"A veteran soldier who is accustomed to the battlefield is full of blood and energy that cannot be stopped, and at first glance it is not much different from a mountain bandit."

Ye Fuliu assured, "But the Wei family will definitely be followed by officers and soldiers." It is not the ordinary kind of people who maintain law and order in the townships, but officers and soldiers who go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. ”

Su Qiu closed the cage suspiciously. When I sat back on the edge of the bed and thought about it, there was still a half-lost tear in my eye.

Ye Fuliu took a handkerchief and wiped it for her.

"Tomorrow, I'll find Wei Da and ask him in person?"

Su Qiu nodded.

After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head again and again, "What am I looking for him!" He is just an ordinary neighbor, and whether he is a mountain bandit or an officer or an officer or soldier has nothing to do with me. ”

Ye Fuliu handed the handkerchief stained with tears to Su Qiu's arms, "It has nothing to do with you, what are you crying so fiercely?" Wow, take it. Tomorrow, if you stand under the courtyard wall and cry, Wei Da will not coax you, and you will ignore him again. ”

Su Qiu took the wet handkerchief, showed a contradictory look that wanted to cry and laugh, and bit her lip and refused to respond. He sat opposite Ye Fuliu for a while, covered his head with the quilt, and said, "Sleep." ”

No more mentioning the matter of packing up and moving away overnight.

Ye Fuliu left Su Qiu's house with brisk steps. Said to have moved one, and there is another.

Of course, Ye Xianchun, the third brother of the Ye family, has not slept yet. He has always been a night owl.

Ye Xianchun ate two bowls of sweet soup and sat alone for a long time, and the energy that he was frightened by the Wei family when he entered the door finally eased completely.

He asked his sister, "If we move out tomorrow morning, do we have a new place to stay?" I had only come from Qiantang on a five-day boat ride, and I had gone for half my life, and I could no longer take a boat. Just find an empty house nearby. ”

A new place to settle down, of course. When he went out last month, Ye Fuliu took a fancy to a deserted house in the next county more than 100 miles away. But she didn't want to move out in a hurry.

"There's still something to do in the town, so I can't leave."

Ye Xianchun exclaimed: "What else is going on?" ”

Ye Fuliu pointed to the next door, "The Wei family paid a price of one hundred taels of gold, and ordered an ice jian and a rosewood chair from the Ye family." Bing Jian had already been prepared and delivered, and the wooden chair had not yet found a suitable wood. ”

Under the gaze of the three brothers of the Ye family, the more they listened, the wider their eyes became, Ye Fuliu spread his hands and said,

"The Ye family values every business. The payment has been received, but the goods have not been delivered, so we can't run overnight, right? ”

Ye Xianchun paced around in embarrassment. The Wei family next door was not just a neighbor, but also a big customer.

After a while, he came back and made up his mind, "You're right, you still have to finish the deal first." Even if the patron is the Wei family...... Alas, even the Wei family can't run halfway. We don't do anything that ruins the reputation of the business. ”

However, Ye Xianchun suddenly remembered the words in his sister's letter, and he was very nervous and his expression tensed.

"Niang, now that you have heard clearly, the Wei family is not a peer with us! Does he know what the Ye family does? ”

Ye Fuliu: "I didn't say it explicitly. But he had demolished his cousin's house and brought a batch of good goods under the foundation, which he knew, and perhaps he guessed eight or nine points. ”

Ye Xianchun gasped, sat on the chair, didn't make a sound for a long time, and began to burst into tears.

"Niang...... Woo, mother. ”

Seeing more, Ye Fuliu skillfully took out a handkerchief, squatted in front of the third brother and handed it over, "Don't cry, third brother." Don't worry about me. ”

Ye Xianchun choked up and said, "I'm afraid, my mother." Wei Sanlang and his mind are unpredictable, don't look at him face to face Speak gently and politely, who knows if it will wipe out our Ye family in a blink of an eye. Hey, since I was a child, I have read through ancient and modern history books, and the most unpredictable thing in the world is ......the human heart.

"Third brother, don't cry. History books belong to history books, and living people are living people. Ye Fuliu said in a good voice, "Don't think about the rest, let's finish the Wei family's business first." ”

Ye Xianchun wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Just if the Wei family is the customer, the things set by the Wei family will be delivered as soon as possible." Once the transaction is complete, we move. ”

Regardless of the process, in short, the second one was also moved. The proposal to move out overnight was put on hold for the time being.

Ye Fuliu went back to the house and fell asleep.

But I tossed and turned all night, and I never slept soundly.

——

He slept late, got up late, and got up at the end of the second hour. Usually at this time, Su Qiu has already sent the morning food to the next door.

But today is unusual.

When Ye Fuliu was combing his hair in the mirror by the window, a woman's choking sounded in his ears.

She pushed the window open.

Su Qiu stood far away under the courtyard wall, and the prepared morning food was placed on the stone table, and was not sent to the next door. The choked voice was not loud, and it was not clear in the room. But Wei Da's loud voice from the opposite wall could be heard clearly.

"Don't cry, you can say it directly!" Wei Da said irritably.

Su Qiu whispered something.

Wei Da's voice rose an octave.

"From last night to today, you still don't believe it? Lao Tzu is not a mountain bandit! Lao Tzu used to be a general in the forbidden army! Eight thousand soldiers under his command! ”

Su Qiu choked up and raised his voice, and scolded very clearly, "A mountain bandit liar full of lies!" He said that you were a general in the capital, and what about the evidence? ”

There was a brief silence, and an angry roar came from the wall, "Don't go! Wait for me to come to you. ”

Su Qiu wiped away her tears, picked up the morning food tray and walked out the door. "Here you go!"

Ye Fuliu pulled up the tassel bun in the mirror, put a delicate pearl hairpin into the bun, and tied the purse around his waist.

The purse is heavy, and the long snow-blue spikes with a light color reveal the tail of the ear from the half-open edge of the purse. Ye Fuliu carefully took care of the long tassels neatly, and his fingertips touched the surface of the glossy jade plate.

She sat under the porch around the corner with a small Nanmu box in her arms.

The angle is tricky, and the large shadow at the corner of the verandah obscures the figure. She could see her courtyard and the wooden building next door, and no one could see her. For Ye Fuliu, it is a private place to be alone.

Fingers flicked a few times on the seven-ring secret word lock, and the copper ring engraved with the secret word swirled around.

"Official, stealer. The door is not the right door, and it is not very compatible. ”

The Wei family resigned and returned to Jiangnan to retreat. He is no longer an official. ”

"But it's still a relative of the emperor. The official family in the capital who sat on the dragon chair was his nephew of the Wei family. ”

"Uncle Guo, stealing children. Tsk, it doesn't sound like it fits even more. ”

Ye Fuliu muttered in a low voice, and the fingertips of the pink crescent moon flicked the copper lock, and dialed the first four words in turn: "pitching" and "idleness." ”

"It's like this secret lock, which has no key and no secret letter. It took a lot of effort to guess four of the secret characters, and it seems that things are going well...... The first three secret words after the difference, if they can't be opened, they can't be opened. ”

With a flick of his hand, the copper ring gurgled and turned.

"That's it?"

The fingertips moved away from the copper ring and touched the jade plate instead.

"He knew what the Ye family was doing, so he gave me the family heirloom jade plate. I love this jade plaque. ”

In the no-man's land hidden by the vines, a soft murmur was heard, "I like him too." I don't want to leave it at that. ”

The dense vines were pushed away, and a dark eye peeked through the branches, glancing at the wooden building opposite.

"Amazing relatives of the emperor, no wonder they are relatives of the Qi family of the Jiangning State Mansion. He is the only male in the Wei family...... How can it be rich. But I won't marry out of the Ye family. ”

"That's it?"

The early autumn breeze blows through the courtyard, and the air smells of sunshine and earth. The subtle turning sound of the brass ring was mixed with muttering.

"Mismatched." "No results." "That's it?"

"Wait, haven't asked him yet. Maybe he'll agree to get involved. ”

"He is the only one left in the Wei family, as long as he agrees to join the family, no elders will stop him, right?"

The copper ring gurgled in circles, and Ye Fuliu held the Nanmu box that could not be opened, and looked at the wooden building opposite the courtyard wall.

There was a commotion in the courtyard next door.

Wei Da kicked people up one by one, "Don't sleep!" Get up, the waist cards are all shown, and the positions on your body are reported to Suqiu Niangzi one by one! Serious officers and soldiers who receive the salaries of the imperial court, don't be treated as mountain bandits! ”

The sturdy men who had slept all over the yard were kicked awake one by one, and a burst of swearing and swearing erupted.

It didn't take long for a hurried footsteps to enter the inner courtyard, and Su Qiu hurriedly looked for someone everywhere, "Lady, lady!" ”

Ye Fuliu pushed aside the vines. A white hand peeked out from the green foliage, dangling outward.
