Hearing Yue Xian say this, He Youqing's face was slightly gentle, and he said, "What you just said is true?"

"If a word of deception is true, I will be killed by ten thousand arrows piercing my heart. Yue Xian somehow, he only hoped that He Youqing would believe in himself, and unconsciously blurted out such a heavy oath.

The murderous aura in He Youqing's eyes gradually dissipated, and his tone softened: "Then have you ever found out the origin of this score?"

Yue Xian said: "I'm ashamed, I got nothing." Yue Xian said in his heart: Don't tell her that this score is from Yue Jian Villa, otherwise it will be difficult to explain.

He Youqing was about to open his mouth to ask again, but he heard a voice from outside: "Childe!" Then a person flew into the house, stood in front of Yue Xian with a sword, and said, "Childe, are you okay?"

Yue Xian was taken aback and asked, "Eamon, why did you come in?"

Aemon said: "Childe, didn't you say that you didn't come out for half an hour, and you wanted me to rush in?"

Yue Xian said in his heart: I forgot about this. He Youqing laughed: "I didn't expect you to enter a weak woman's home and take so many precautions." ”

Yue Xian was blushed by what she said, and hurriedly motioned to Yimeng to put away his sword, and said, "Let Miss He smile, say goodbye today, and come back to visit another day." With that, he wanted to leave.

He Youqing said slowly: "What? Don't you count what you said?"

Yue Xian was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant, and said: "A gentleman's words are difficult to chase, of course what I said counted." ”

He Youqing said: "Then let me ask you, I just said that you play three songs, if I can hear what the song is, I will answer my question." I just heard three tunes, but I only asked two. ”

Yue Xian said: "When Miss He was about to kill me just now, she asked many questions, and I answered them one by one. ”

He Youqing snorted again and said, "Those don't count, I want to ask another question, and you need to answer truthfully." ”

"This ......" Yue Xian saw that her cheeks were rosy and she looked at herself with watery eyes, and she couldn't find a reason to refuse her, so she had to say, "Girl, please ask!"

"What's your name?"

※※※

When Yue Xian returned to the Residence Garden, Zhao Xiaotian had been waiting for a long time. Zhao Xiaotian took out a few pages from his arms and said, "Childe, it's all here." Yue Xian took it and asked, "How many in total?"

Zhao Xiaotian said: "There are five in total, each ranging from 8,000 to 20,000, adding up to 67,000 taels." ”

Yue Xian said: "It's really a big deal." As he spoke, he handed it over to Xiao Tong and said, "Tonight, let's go visit this Xu Shangshu." ”

Xu Wen's mansion is in Lujiao Lane, Dongshi, next to the Dongqing Palace. It's just that the king of the Eastern Qing Dynasty is rarely in Beijing, so on weekdays, the front of Xu Wen is much more lively than the front of the East Qing Palace. Needless to say, there is a lot of traffic during the day, and even at night, there are often many sedan chairs waiting to be met in front of the door.

Seeing the many sedan chairs at Xu Wen's door, Yimeng asked, "Childe, shall we go over the wall and go in?"

Yue Xian said with a smile: "Since you are here to pay a visit, of course you will enter from the main entrance." ”

Aemon said, "Look at this, it will take two or three hours for us to talk less." ”

Yue Xian gestured to Xiao Tong, Xiao Tong stepped forward and said to Menzi: "Lingzhou Yue Xian, please report to Lord Xu." As he spoke, he handed over the name post. The man was half-lying on the chair, without raising his eyelids, and said, "Let it go!" Xiao Tong leaned in front of the doorman, revealing a silver ticket underneath. The doorman took a look at it and said, "Wait, there are still a few adults in front." ”

Xiao Tong took out an envelope from his cuff, handed it over and said, "Please transfer it to Lord Xu", and quietly handed over a silver ticket. The man took it and looked at it, carried the silver ticket in his arms, and said, "Wait!" After saying that, he got up and went in. At the time of half the incense, the man came out and said to Xiaotong: "Which is Yue Xian?" Yue Xian stepped forward and said, "It is below." The doorman turned to the side: "Go in, my lord wants to see you." The others are waiting outside the house," he said, turning and walking ahead.

Yue Xian smiled at Eamon, "How about it, we don't have to wait from the main gate, right? Eamons scratched his head, not understanding what was going on. Many people waiting outside also had a lot of discussions, and they didn't know which dignitaries could "cut in line".

The man led Yue Xian into the mansion as soon as he saw Feng Weiming coming out of it, obviously he was inside just now. Yue Xian nodded slightly at Feng Weiming: "Lord Feng." Feng Weiming's eyebrows moved: "Oh, Gongzi Yue, I didn't expect you to have a friendship with Lord Xu?"

Yue Xian said: "Don't dare, I'm just here to visit Lord Xu." Feng Weiming clenched his fists, didn't say anything more, turned around and left, obviously he didn't believe Yue Xian's words.

The man led Yue Xian into the study and exited on his own. Xu Wen was sitting on the main seat, and when he saw Yue Xian coming in, he beckoned: "Prince Yue, please sit", and his words were very cold. Yue Xian didn't care, he gave a salute and sat next to him, looked around, and saw that the study was minimalistly decorated, and there were only a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.

Xu Wen greeted: "Serve tea", and a maid brought two bowls of tea and placed them at the table for two. Xu Wen squinted at Yue Xian and said, "Since you came to ask for money, why did you send the IOU in first?

Yue Xian smiled and said, "Lord Xu is an important minister of the imperial court, how can he do such a villain's thing? Not to mention, ......" Yue Xian said and took out four pieces of paper from his arms, unfolded them one by one and put them on the table: "You have to get rid of one, you can't get rid of these four, right?" The one sent in is the least, only eight thousand taels. The sum of these four sheets is fifty-nine thousand taels. ”

Xu Wen's face instantly turned pale, although he didn't hold it in his hand, he also clearly saw that the name of his son Xu Pan was signed on the four IOUs, and the most one was a full 20,000 taels.

"Cough cough cough ......" Xu Wen couldn't help but feel angry, feeling that his chest was tumbling over the river, as if there was a warm current about to gush out. He only regarded his son as a small gamble on weekdays, and occasionally owed three or five hundred taels, and secretly asked his mother or grandmother for money to pay it back. I don't think I can see it, but I didn't expect to owe so much.

Yue Xian smiled slightly: "Young Master Xu is young, it is inevitable that he will be greedy for fun, and this is nothing." It's just that the rumor will go out, and Lord Xu's reputation will inevitably be implicated. ”

"Don't worry!" Xu Wen has been up and down for more than 40 years, accustomed to strong winds and waves, at this time, although he felt that he would not be able to relieve his hatred for beating his son to death ten thousand times, he still maintained the majesty of the heavenly officials of the ministry: "Within three days, even the principal and profits will definitely be paid off." ”

"Oh?" Yue Xian stood up: "How do you pay it back?"

"You don't have to worry about this!"

Yue Xian walked up to a piece of calligraphy and said, "Lord Xu and Wei want to have a great friendship, right?"

Xu Wen was stunned and said: "This official doesn't recognize Wei Xiang, but he admires his words very much. ”

Yue Xian turned around, looked at Xu Wen and said, "Dare to ask Lord Xu what is the geometry?" Xu Wen looked at Yue Xian with a pale face, but did not answer.
