After the dinner, the Queen Mother and Mrs. Zhao returned to the back house of the Qin family, and the visiting guests also dispersed.
In the verandah by the lake, Jiang'an Gong Qin Xiangru was stroking his big beard, his drunken face was full of smiles, and he was still praising the allusions just now:
"It's a good example of 'seeing from a distance without restraint, seeing at close range without restraint'. I, Mr. Qin, have lived for most of my life, and this is the first time I have won so comfortably. When Wu Song goes back, I'm afraid he will have to find ways to ask experts for advice, I'm afraid
I guess he will come again at the end of the New Year. If Duke Ye is here, he will definitely help him again..."
"Alas, Duke Qin thinks too highly of a junior like me..."
"What junior, we will be friends every year from now on. We are not brothers, but better than brothers..."
"?"
Ye Jingtang couldn't bear this kind of treatment, otherwise the Empress Dowager would have beaten him, so she immediately waved her hands:
"I can't afford it, I can't afford it..."
Qin Xiangru had been angry for at least half a year, but he was helped by Ye Jingtang. He was so grateful that he was rushed from Hongyan Tower to the outside of the courtyard before stopping. If he didn't have a daughter to be married, he might have to pick up his relatives on the spot.
He sent his daughter to the hall where she had a night terror, and before leaving, she complained that it would be useless to have a son, and that no one could be expected at the critical moment.
After Ye Jingtang watched the group leave outside the courtyard, he turned around and walked into the main courtyard.
Because it was getting late, the lights in the room where Miss Fan stayed had been turned off, and the door of Night Terror Hall was probably locked to prevent him from drinking some wine and entering the house again at night.
Being guarded like a thief, Ye Jingtang is indeed a little unjust, but last time I accidentally stole someone's first kiss, and I accidentally saw my grandma sleeping in his arms for a day, it is really far-fetched to explain that I didn't mean it, and Ye Jingtang saw this.
I could only sigh in my heart and walk to my room silently.
The Empress of the Wei Dynasty followed behind and pretended to be a maid. When no one was around, she resumed her domineering yet leisurely posture. She walked side by side slowly and touched the handle of the knife at Ye Jingtang's waist with her fingers:
"Young Master Ye is hiding his clumsiness and teasing me, a little girl with mediocre literary talents. Is it interesting?"
Ye Jingtang quickly held down the knife, his eyes a little helpless:
"Didn't I just say that it's not difficult to get the right pair? As long as you read a lot of books and your mind works faster, it's easy to figure it out. I'm not hiding my clumsiness. You asked me those things before, and I got them right...
"
The Empress of Wei narrowed her eyes slightly: "You mean that the first couplet I produced is too simple and I can't force you to show your true ability?"
Ye Jingtang did feel this way, but he nodded and was sure to be beaten. He shook his head and said: "How could it be? I didn't study seriously at that time. I spent the last half month recovering from my injuries and thinking about it all day long. It is inevitable that I will make some progress..."
The empress of the Wei Dynasty saw that Ye Jingtang's eyes were full of desire for survival, so she didn't say anything more. After leaving the room, she seemed to be a little hot because of too many clothes, so she slightly opened her collar and fanned the room with her hands.
Ye Jingtang walked side by side. Since he was a little taller than Yu Hu, he naturally saw the whiteness of his neck from the corner of his eye.
In a blink of an eye, I found that the inside of the collar was bottomless, and under the white collarbone was a perfectly curved hemisphere. There was also a jade pendant tied with a red string hidden between the peaks and valleys. The jade pendant was not small, but it was in the large-scale Bai Tuan Cheng.
Come on, it really looks like a pendant...
?!
Ye Jingtang had been holding back his life for half a month, and he took a lot of tonic every day. Although he felt like he was still thinking, his body reacted very honestly. He could clearly feel the surge of energy and blood, and his breathing stopped for a moment.
The Empress of Wei fanned the air a few times and noticed a change in Ye Jingtang's aura. She lowered her head and quickly held down her collar:
"What are you looking at?"
Ye Jingtang quickly turned his eyes away, pretending to observe his surroundings, thought for a while and said:
"It's already winter, is Miss Yuhu still hot?"
The Empress of the Wei Dynasty is definitely not hot, but she is very impressed by Ye Jingtang's performance in Huaiyan Tower, and she is true to her word.
She walked into the back room and said casually:
"I'm used to it in Yunzhou. It's a bit hot here. I'll change some clothes."
After saying that, he opened the wardrobe and slowly untied the waistband of the skirt.
"..."
Ye Jingtang stood at the partition, looked at Miss Yuhu who didn't regard him as an outsider at all, and hesitated slightly:
"Then shall I go out?"
if not?
This may not be the first time that the Empress of Wei took off her naked body in front of Ye Jingtang. She behaved quite naturally. After unfastening her belt, she lifted up her top, revealing her fair shoulders. She looked back softly, first looking at Ye Jingtang's appearance and figure.
Then he looked at the bed on the inside and said:
"You can stay here if you want, just go and lie down by yourself."
"??"
Ye Jingtang was not a submissive Concubine Ye, so how could she lie down and wait for her luck? He knew in his heart that Hu Niuniu was teasing him, but he didn't take it seriously. He went out, closed the door, and said at the window:
"Don't run to the city alone. No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you have to understand that 'a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.' If you want to go out, tell me and I will accompany you out."
The Empress of the Wei Dynasty threw away her outer skirt and wore a red gauze bellyband. She randomly selected a skirt and responded:
"I want to go out now, do you have time?"
"It's getting so late now...how about tomorrow?"
"Hmph~"
The Empress of the Wei Dynasty knew that Ye Jingtang was a home for powerful men, and a breakup was better than a wedding. She must have wanted to see the third lady of the Pei family in the evening, so she did not disturb him at the moment, and just said:
"Go ahead, I'll leave the door open for you. Come over anytime you want to sleep with me."
"well……"
…
——
The west side of Jiangzhou City.
A merchant ship flying the flag of the Pei family was anchored at the port. The steward from the capital stood on the dock and supervised Lifu's unloading of goods from the ship.
The goods were all Xue Hu Powder that had just been trial-produced by the pharmacy. The purpose of this trip was to contact major drug dealers across Jiangzhou and quickly distribute the goods to maximize sales.
Before Pei Xiangjun came over, he had already sent a letter to Jiangzhou Hall. Chen Yuanqing had been walking in Jiangzhou all year round and was familiar with the local wealthy businessmen. He had already contacted them in advance. After the ship arrived, Chen Yuanqing took him to his home and then accompanied him to Yanjie Street.
We went to a restaurant to talk about business matters.
The real person Xuanji was obviously not interested in business. After arriving at her destination, she dressed in white and wore a curtain hat, pretending to be a fairy sister traveling in the world, and strolled on the street.
Zhe Yunli obviously couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing her whole family coming to Jiangzhou, she couldn't stay in the capital and walk the streets every day, so she also ran away in the name of settling accounts for Aunt Pei to earn some pocket money.
come over.
As the night got darker, Zhe Yunli pretended to be a scholarly lady and took her maid Ping'er for a stroll in the beautiful Yan Street. She also acted as a considerate tour guide to explain to Aunt Lu:
"When I was eleven or twelve years old, I came here with my wife. This street is called Yan Street. It was specially built by the Qin family in East Lake Bay for the Queen Mother..."
But as a wandering Taoist, Xuanji is also Ning'er's ex-girlfriend, and the Queen Mother's best friend. There is no need for Yunli's niece to introduce these things. She seems to be listening attentively, but in fact, all she is thinking about is other things.
Half a month ago in the capital, Xuanji's brain was so hot that she gave herself away after three glasses of wine. Then the big villain Ye Jingtang left her with an unforgettable memory. Until now, when she thinks about it, she still
Somewhat out of breath.
Master Xuanji couldn't see what she looked like at that time, but she knew that she must be in a very embarrassed state. In the following days, she actually felt a little resistant in her heart, but in the end, she never thought about this separation for half a month.
As a woman who had just inherited the rain and dew, Xuanji Zhenren, no matter how calm the weather, her heart could not be without the slightest turbulence. She even complained that this boy was not caring. The distance was only dozens of miles away by water, so she didn't know how to come over and have a look at it at night.
…
The three of them just wandered around without saying anything, and soon walked from the street to the end of the street.
As the capital of the southeast, Jiangzhou City does not have as many princes as the capital city, but because Yunzhou has spring-like weather all year round and rich products, the population density and prosperity are not half inferior to the capital city. Even at night, Shiliyan Street is still full of people.
Painting boats and boats, playing music and playing music until dawn.
While Master Xuanji was wandering absentmindedly, his ears suddenly twitched and he heard a conversation coming from a cruise ship:
"It's really amazing! I originally thought that Ye Jing Tang Ye Da Xia was a pure martial artist like Fengguan City and had nothing to do with the literary world. But guess what? Just now, Duke Guo of Qin was having a banquet, and Duke Wu came to look for trouble with Jiang Wenyuan.
, I was scolded by Duke Ye in a few words until I vomited three liters of blood..."
"Is there such a thing?! Jiang Wenyuan's mouth is not so cruel..."
"It's absolutely true. I'll read it to you. The young master is six feet tall, but his mediocre facial features hide all aspects of his sourness... Who would have thought that a thin dog would be kept in the new house in the ancient courtyard..."
"Oh..."
…
Master Xuanji was stunned when he heard this. He originally thought that Ye Jingtang had just arrived and was bullying others to make a name for himself, but after hearing a few extremely tricky couplets, he thought it was just made up by the literati.
After all, she has been with Ye Jingtang for so long, and she knows that Ye Jingtang has a quick mouth and a powerful tongue, and can make people cry and tremble, but it is obviously not this way...
Zhe Yunli's eyes were also full of surprise. After standing on the bridge and listening for a while, he asked:
"Aunt Lu, can cousin Jing still do this?"
Master Xuanji probably wanted to teach Yunli's niece. Although she didn't believe it in her heart, she still nodded and said:
"Your cousin is as smart as you, but he works harder. He must have studied hard on the boat these days, so you have to work hard too. Last time Hua Qingzhi came over and asked you a question, but you were still surprised.
Brother, I've saved you. Next time we meet, you can't just turn around and leave without saying a word, right?"
The last time Zhe Yunli felt pressure, he was actually very concerned about Hua Qingzhi, and even asked specifically about it. At this time, he said:
"That Miss Hua is studying in the Imperial College, and she will only stay for a few months at most. By the time we get back, she will have gone back to Beiliang. It will be difficult to meet her again in this life."
Ping'er followed obediently and then interjected:
"Miss, I have been observing for a long time and found that all the women who come to Mr. Ye's side, as long as they are beautiful, never come back..."
"...?"
Master Xuanji blinked her eyes, her eyes becoming a little hard to describe.
Zhe Yunli frowned, turned around and said seriously:
"Cousin Jing, this is about love and righteousness. I met the young escort in Honghe Town in the past years. Cousin Jing doesn't just take him with me to share wealth, nor does he only make friends with beautiful women..."
"Young Master Ye does value friendship, but the beautiful girls he met never left..."
…
Master Xuanji felt that this topic was not suitable for discussion, so she interrupted, saying that it was getting late, and then turned back with the two girls.
The Yuanqing Escort Bureau is about two miles away from Yan Street, surrounded by boat gangs and carriage shops. Sanniang and her party settled in the Chen family mansion.
As the owner of Honghua House, Chen Yuanqing's family is not small. In front of the house is the escort office, and in the back is a deep courtyard with white walls and blue tiles, where his family members also live.
After Zhe Yunli came back, because he had nothing to do, he was directly taken back to the room by the supervisor Ping'er to copy books.
When Xuanji saw that Sanniang hadn't come back yet, she walked to her room. On the way, she was still thinking about whether Qinghe had kept her bottom line these days and whether she should secretly go to the Duke's Mansion to take a look.
As a result, Master Xuanji opened the door and looked up to see a figure standing in the room.
The figure was dressed in a black prince's robe, with a jade crown on her head. She was very elegant and handsome. She was standing in front of the wall with her hands behind her back. She was looking at the river scene picture she had drawn casually on the road. On the picture she also mentioned a little poem she had written casually.
——The autumn water is long and the sky is vast, looking across thousands of miles makes me unforgettable. When will I be with you, lying together in the cool depths of the reed flowers?
Master Xuanji raised her eyebrows slightly, took off her curtain hat, revealing her beautiful and charming cheeks, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes, and closed the door with her feet:
"Ye Jingtang, you are getting more and more presumptuous. Can you enter the teacher's room privately without saying hello?"
Ye Jingtang turned around and saw Shui'er, who was dressed like a fairy in white. For some reason, a white jade tiger foaming at the mouth flashed through his mind...
Ye Jingtang felt that he was probably sick from suppressing the pain, so he quickly suppressed his distracting thoughts, came to the front and said with a smile:
"Prince Jing arranged for me to have a female concubine to teach chess, calligraphy, and painting. I originally thought that I was quite good at it. But after seeing Lu Xianzi's paintings, I felt that I would be better off practicing martial arts in the future. This talent is so disappointing... …”
Master Xuanji did not respond to the compliment. She came to the wall and put away the scroll that concealed her love for her. Then she sat down next to the tea table with the Acacia Sword in her hand:
"Aren't you having dinner at Qin's house? Why did you come here?"
"It's just a casual occasion, we didn't eat for long."
In the Night Jing Hall, he saw Xuanji sitting in a leisurely posture but with his sword still attached to his body. He was a little amused, so he sat down generously next door and poured two glasses of water:
"I don't eat people, why are you so defensive about me?"
"Humph, I didn't want to guard against you, but what happened? Just because I accidentally drank two more drinks, I got killed by you, a little thief..."
When Master Xuanji said this, he still showed a bit of sadness and anger, but due to his personality, this emotion was obviously not in place.
The Night Terror Hall was not upset until they debated who was right and wrong on the spot, pretending to admit they were wrong:
"It's my fault. I did drink too much last time and acted recklessly after drinking. Now that things have come to this, I would like to ask Fairy Lu to calm down and drink some water."
Master Xuanji took the tea cup and took a sip. Maybe she thought it was tasteless. Then she took out the vermilion wine gourd, pretending not to care about you for the time being, and then asked:
"Where is the Queen Mother? If the banquet is over, I will go and accompany her."
"The Queen Mother has just returned home and is staying with Mrs. Zhao. I'm afraid she will have to chat all night. Fairy Lu will go there tomorrow."
"?"
Master Xuanji felt that Ye Jingtang didn't want her to run away tonight, so she said suspiciously:
"real or fake?"
Ye Jingtang knew that the Queen Mother was happy today, and originally wanted to go over and let the Queen Mother praise her, but Mrs. Zhao was indeed nearby, and there were several sisters-in-law. He said helplessly:
"Why did I lie to you about such a thing? I met Mr. Wu Guo at the banquet today. Guess what?"
Although Master Xuanji heard the rumors on the road, he still looked interested:
"uh-huh?"
Ye Jingtang told the story of the banquet seriously, and then said:
"After being taught by Fairy Lu, I haven't been lazy at all. Is my performance today acceptable?"
Master Xuanji nodded, but immediately realized something and asked:
"The performance is indeed good, but what next? Let me, the teacher, reward you as a good student?"
This is what Ye Jingtang meant. Shuishui helped to say it. Naturally, he had to be reserved and said with a smile:
"That's not what I meant, but Fairy Lu is willing to give you a few words of praise, which makes me feel quite happy."
Xuanji, the real person, saw the night terror in the hall, turned around and turned around, and was very angry.
"I teach you seriously but you want to use a stick to punish me as a teacher. Is this how you respect teachers?"
?
When Ye Jingtang saw that Shui'er was talking dirty words, a smile appeared in his eyes. He stood up and came to her, holding her hand and pulling her up:
"How can you say cleaning up? It should be about serving. I did drink too much last time. It was neither serious nor serious..."
Xuanji's face was blown by the hot breath, and she could feel that Ye Jingtang was now as energetic as a bison. She suddenly felt a little weak in her heart. She kept her calm appearance, removed her hands behind her waist, and walked slowly towards the canopy bed.
, stretched out:
"I'm tired. I want to rest today. Tomorrow... eh?!"
Before he finished speaking, he noticed that his body felt light.
Ye Jingtang was so dizzy due to the water, he stepped forward and hugged him, and they fell down together:
"How about I help Fairy Lu to clear her Qi and blood?"
Xuanji's face turned red obviously. She gritted her teeth and turned over. However, Ye Jingtang held her wrist and pinned her down on the bed. She frowned and said:
"Night Terror Hall, you are using force, right?"
"No, how is it possible..."
Ye Jingtang coaxed with a smile, lowered his head and put his red lips in his mouth.
"Woo..."
Xuanji's hands were pressed down, and her body twisted a few times, but there was nothing she could do, and she gradually stopped resisting.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she gave up her resistance, this hot-tempered brat raised her hand and grabbed the white skirt:
Tear~
The soft snow-colored white skirt immediately broke into two pieces, revealing the tulle bellyband embroidered with a wine gourd, and the bow on the waist was also visible under the eyes.
?
Xuanji's eyes showed shame and annoyance, she turned her cheek and said:
"Night Terror Hall! What should I wear if you tear off your clothes?"
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself, I'll buy you a new one..."
Master Xuanji still wanted to speak, but found that her chest was pinched, and then her hot hand slipped away.
"you……"
Master Xuanji raised her neck a little, her face suddenly turned red, her white embroidered shoes arched, her legs still swayed by the bed for a few times, she felt really weak in her heart, and she said:
"Slow down~ You... I'm going to hit you!"
Ye Jingtang's finger was bitten by the white jade tiger. He found that Shui'er was a little timid when speaking. His mind was a little clearer, and his movements immediately softened:
"I've been taking too many supplements these days, and I'm not thinking clearly. Well... just say if you feel uncomfortable, and don't resist."
Master Xuanji gritted her teeth secretly, closed her eyes and wanted to let it be manipulated, but found that she didn't kiss twice, Ye Jingtang went down her neck again, and quickly pressed her shoulders:
"How dare you try again?"
"Just try it..."
"you……"
…
——
The reception banquet was over, and the shopkeeper who came from afar accompanied him back to his residence.
Pei Xiangjun was dressed as a merchant's wife. Because she was wearing a winter skirt and walking on the small streets of Jiangzhou City, it was really hot. She fanned the wind with her hands and said:
"I'm afraid the snow in Liangzhou is deep for everyone. I didn't expect it to be the same as autumn here. No wonder Ning'er likes it here."
Xiuhe was also coming to Jiangzhou for the first time. He walked behind with his account book in hand and nodded:
"It is said that the summer here is not very hot, and it is indeed suitable for permanent residence and retirement. How about we move the chief executive of Honghua Building to Jiangzhou in the future? It just so happens that there are no decent wealthy families in the world here, so it is convenient to do business..."
Pei Xiangjun doesn't mind moving her family to Jiangzhou, but the court obviously won't let Jingtang leave. She can't come here alone to be a widow, so she said:
"You can just move here if you like, and let you be the master of Jiangzhou Hall. Hall Master Chen just happens to be taking care of business outside the customs."
In previous years, when Xiuhe heard about this soaring promotion, she would have definitely thanked the original poster, but now she was not happy at all and quickly expressed her loyalty:
"I have been working for the young lady since I was a child. How can I leave the young lady for the sake of the status of the master of the hall? From now on, when the young lady becomes the landlord, I will be the master; when the young lady gets married, I will be the nanny. Even if the young lady kicks me out, don't even think about driving me away."
Pei Xiangjun didn't understand Xiu He's little thoughts. He shook his head and chuckled. He didn't say anything and accompanied him back to the Chen family mansion.
After more than half a month of hard work, Pei Xiangjun could only move his hands and feet on the boat. No matter how good his martial arts skills were, he would inevitably feel a little tired, so he wanted to go back and rest directly.
But when I passed a courtyard along the path between the white walls, I suddenly heard a soft sound coming from inside:
Dong dong dong——
The sound of nailing boards.
?
Pei Xiangjun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he jumped up to the wall to check the situation.
As the chief financial officer of Honghua Building, Xiuhe's martial arts skills are not too high but not low either. Upon seeing this, he jumped up holding the account book. He originally wanted to land on the wall to take a look, but he didn't expect that he would be grabbed by his own lady as soon as he jumped out of the wall.
I pressed it back and dropped it in the aisle again.
Xiuhe's eyes were filled with confusion and he asked:
"What's wrong?"
Pei Xiangjun looked at the yard where Shui'er stayed, his eyes were very suspicious, he thought for a while and said:
"Master Xuanji is practicing, please go back first."
Practicing?
Xiuhe was confused, but since Sanniang said this, she didn't ask much, so she just turned around and went back.
After Xiu He left, Pei Xiangjun looked strangely in his eyes and flew down in front of the main house. He listened carefully, then quietly opened the door and looked inside.
The scene in the house... is really hard to describe.
The torn skirts and small pieces of fabric were just thrown on the ground, and the shoes were crooked.
The bed was covered with white flowers. The slender real person Xuanji was lying on her side, her eyes squinted and her cheeks were flushed. She looked as weak as if she had been tortured.
You can see her body at a glance, the jade bowl has a moist luster, and its size is obviously incomparable to hers...
Under the perfect curve, you can even see the outline of a white jade tiger. The white and pure body is really beautiful...
Hearing the sound of opening the door, Master Xuanji visibly reacted, but he just quietly grabbed the quilt with his hands, blocking the view, and did not wake up. He still acted as if he was unconscious.
Pei Xiangjun originally wanted to turn around quickly, but when he saw this reaction, he was full of surprise and thought to himself: With such high martial arts skills, can he be so weak?
Not even as good as Ning'er...
Looking to the side, Ye Jingtang had already put on his trousers and was half-crouching beside the bed, repairing the bed board with wooden nails found from nowhere. His perfectly defined chest and abdomen could be seen from the side.
The mattress had been lifted a little, and the originally solid redwood board was obviously broken.
Tsk tsk...
Pei Xiangjun was secretly frightened when he saw this scene, but he immediately felt that something was wrong. He looked around, quickly came closer, raised his hand and patted Ye Jingtang on the shoulder:
"Jingtang, why are you so ignorant? This is your Uncle Chen's furniture and you broke it. What will the Chen family think of me tomorrow? Will I see anyone again?"
Ye Jingtang stood up, wiped the sweat from his face, and said with a slight embarrassment:
"This bed is indeed not strong, and I'm not too concerned about it. Besides, this is Shui'er's room, well... I mean I accidentally broke it while practicing."
Pei Xiangjun thought about it. It was not her house, so what was she afraid of? She originally wanted to turn around and go out so as not to disturb the two of them, but seeing that the two of them were still in a state of shock and fearlessness, Taoist Shui'er was obviously too lazy to move.
If she leaves, Shui'er will probably die here today...
Ye Jingtang has already seen that Shui'er has high attack and low defense, and is more powerful than anyone else with her words. When it comes to her real skills, she basically lies down in seconds. Before he exerted too much force just now, Shui'er couldn't resist and had to stop.
Seeing that the bed board was repaired, the Night Terror Hall no longer caused trouble to anyone, so he closed the curtain and said:
"Shui Shui?"
Master Xuanji may have been too embarrassed to see Sanniang, so she pretended to be unconscious and didn't say a word.
Ye Jingtang's eyes were full of helplessness. After closing the tent, he turned to look at Sanniang and asked with concern:
"You have been so busy since you first came here. Are you tired?"
When Pei Xiangjun heard "busy before and after," his eyes looked strange. He was afraid that Shui'er would hear it, so he frowned and whispered:
"You are not allowed to mess around here, what are you busy with..."
?
Ye Jingtang blinked his eyes. He really didn't expect Sanniang to think so wrongly. He shook his head and smiled, holding hands and walking out of the house together:
"Okay, don't be busy before and after."
"You also said..."
…

Ah Guan, Ah Guan, how can you be so depraved that you can’t stop writing just seven thousand words? Three thousand more!
Alas, it’s really hard to write in daily life. I’m still writing slowly as if I’m walking on thin ice. I’ll try to see if I can hold back another 3,000 words or 2
