As night fell, lanterns were hung outside the palace gate.
In the east courtyard of the mansion, the lights in each room also lit up, and the stars were dotted like a palace in the sky.
In the main hall of the east courtyard, a handsome young man was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of tea. After taking a sip, he said to Mr. Fang in front of him, "Mr. Fang, I heard that we have a new accountant in our house?"
The chubby Manager Fang quickly stood up, bowed and said seriously: "Yes, Second Young Master!"
Mr. Wang has three sons and one daughter. The eldest young master, Wang Jiangong, is a famous talent in Jiangning. He wrote a very beautiful poem. The third young master is different from his two brothers, as a young master from a scholarly family.
The third young master likes military books, martial arts and other things. He leads a group of people to fight and cause trouble every day. He is a typical bad boy. The second young master, Wang Liye, although he says he doesn't like reading, his talent in business is unparalleled. More
What impressed Mr. Fang was that the Second Young Master had a very ruthless vision in employing people.
At this time, the person sitting in front of him was Wang Liye, the second son of the royal family.
Wang Liye nodded after hearing Manager Fang's reply, picked up a book on the table, flipped through two pages, put it down, and asked, "How is this person's character and reputation?"
After listening to this, Mr. Fang said carefully: "This man's name is Lu Heng. He is a scholar. He is from a scholarly family. He has a dull personality, but as a person, he is also honest and honest! Haha!"
Manager Fang seemed to be thinking of the way Lu Heng had his hands in his sleeves when he saw him today. He couldn't help but laugh.
After hearing this, Wang Liye nodded and said: "That's good, Uncle Fang. Nowadays, our silk industry is getting bigger and bigger, which has attracted the attention of many people. Moreover, some people have begun to have bad ideas. The post of accountant involves
There are many secrets, so you must be careful in selecting them, and you must not make any mistakes!"
When Manager Fang heard this, he said seriously that it was true.
Wang Liye nodded with a smile and said, "I brought some food back from Hangzhou. Uncle Wang, you can bring some back to Xiao Wu later."
Manager Fang chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, young master. It would be best for the young master to rest early after working hard all the way. I will take my leave now!"
After bowing to Second Young Master Wang, Manager Fang staggered out of the room.
In the room, Wang Liye opened a stack of letters by the light, read the contents, and rubbed his temples with a headache.
The night falls and the sky is filled with stars.
Without the modern bright lights, the starry sky looks even brighter. The dark blue night sky is like a gorgeous black and blue velvet carpet that has just been washed. The stars in the sky are the bright diamonds inlaid on it. The reflection of the twinkling stars in the sky is
The Qinhuai River is connected with the flower boats with twinkling lights on the river, just like heaven and earth.
After nightfall, the weather seemed to get colder.
A gust of wind blew, and Lu Heng felt a slight chill. He had no intention of watching the wind and moon on the Qinhuai River, so he hurriedly tightened his cotton robe and walked towards home.
At the entrance of the courtyard, a lantern was hung up at some point. In the wind, the bright lantern swayed gently in the wind. Under the dim light, the old wooden door and the fallen character "福" were peaceful and peaceful.
Lu Heng felt warm in his heart, rubbed his hands, reached out and grabbed the iron ring on the door and knocked.
"Sister-in-law, I'm back!"
In the quiet night, Lu Heng's voice was particularly clear.
There was a sound of the door latch being opened, and the wooden door creaked open, revealing Liu Qingqing's fairy-like appearance.
"It's a little late to get off work, haha!" Lu Heng rubbed his ears with his hands and said with a smile.
Liu Qingqing glanced at him, opened the door, and said lightly: "Come in quickly!"
Behind her, Liu Qingqing pulled the door bolt shut. The two of them entered the house one after the other.
Lifting the door curtain, a warm feeling came to you. The bean-like candlelight in the room exuded a dim light. In the small stove, the charcoal fire was burning brightly.
On the simple table, there are two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and a plate of pickles. The bowl is filled with white rice.
Liu Qingqing entered the room, walked straight to the table, put away the dishes and chopsticks and said: "You sit down first, I'll heat it up for you!"
"Let me do it! Sister-in-law, please rest!" Lu Heng rolled up his sleeves and prepared to step forward to help.
But Liu Qingqing didn't appreciate it and said calmly: "The gentleman is far away from the kitchen, so we women should do these things! Brother-in-law, you are a person with a great reputation, how can you do these things."
Lu Heng smiled, walked straight to the pot and squatted down. While filling it with firewood, he looked at the fire inside and said with a smile: "A gentleman should also be small in profit and love justice. Now I have become the accountant of the palace.
, it is a broken precept, and I will never be a gentleman in the future. If one thing is broken, two things are also broken. It doesn’t matter if you do one more thing!”
After finishing speaking, Liu Qingqing's voice was not heard. Lu Heng filled the firewood and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, why don't you say anything,...uh!"
The moment he turned back, Lu Heng saw Liu Qingqing sitting on the kang, her head lowered and silent, she secretly raised her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Uh, things seem a bit serious. Did you say something wrong?
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Lu Heng hurriedly put down his work, stood up, and asked in confusion.
Liu Qingqing smiled miserably, raised her sleeves, and wiped away the tears on her face. She still said in a cold tone: "Uncle, did you blame the slave family for letting you go to the palace as an errand, and missed your career as an official?"
Lu Heng was stunned when he heard this. Then he burst into laughter.
I thought my sister-in-law was being bullied, but it turned out to be this! I was just joking, but I didn't expect that my sister-in-law would take it seriously.
Seeing Liu Qingqing's face getting colder and colder, Lu Heng hurriedly suppressed his laughter and explained: "Sister-in-law misunderstood, I didn't mean it like that. I was just making an analogy! Sister-in-law, don't be too worried! Besides, I have my knowledge.
I know it. Even if I study for ten thousand years, I am still just a scholar. Therefore, the name of a gentleman is destined to fail me! Besides, a gentleman cannot be eaten. What is the use of it?"
Hearing this, Liu Qingqing snorted and did not answer, but her expression improved a little.
During the meal, Lu Heng talked about today's events with his sister-in-law.
However, this sister-in-law seems to have a somewhat indifferent personality. To be precise, she should be a little indifferent to herself.
No matter what Lu Heng said, she just said indifferently, looking indifferent, and then continued to eat with her head down. Lu Heng, who wanted to show off like this, was a little frustrated, as if he had been punched on cotton.
Looking at Liu Qingqing's lowered eyebrows and not even looking at him, Lu Heng wondered if his sister-in-law had some objections to him.
Could it be that the former owner of my body had done something that I shouldn't have done? Otherwise, my sister-in-law shouldn't be like this.
Although Lu Heng said that he had no intention of being a gentleman, after the meal, Liu Qingqing still rejected Lu Heng's idea of participating in the washing. After washing the dishes alone, she left without saying a word.
"It's late at night, uncle, please rest early!"
Through the gap in the hemp paper of the window, Lu Heng looked at the euphemistic figure reflected in the window of the opposite wing, feeling peaceful in his heart.
On the winter night of the third year of Qingyuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lu Heng's first day of work after arriving here passed like this.
