Hanlinxuan.

Backyard study.

Hu Fei was lying on the table, writing furiously.

Recently, almost all the manuscripts of Liaozhai have been published, so Hu Fei took the time to come over and write some more. He plans to save as many as possible and keep them for publication slowly. The Chinese New Year is approaching, and he probably won’t be in the mood to write by then, so he has already gone from one to the next.

I wrote from early in the morning until late in the evening.

"Master, you have been writing all day, please take a rest."

Chundie stood aside, serving Hu Fei, and said distressedly.

This was the first time she saw the young master working so hard.

"It's okay. Just write more so that no one will rush you later."

Hu Fei shook his head and said helplessly.

Recently, whenever I go to the Imperial College, there is always someone urging me to update it, because the number of Chinese characters published in Hanlin Daily has been getting less and less recently.

Moreover, even the Yangxin Hall and the East Palace sent word over, asking him to write it carefully.

He had no choice but to write more this time.

And now even Hanlinxuan has opened branches in various places. Not only has it spread throughout the country, but it has also been exported to neighboring countries like Changsheng Hot Pot and Jingshi Noodles.

Due to the long distance, it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, so I can only save the manuscript as much as possible.

"Seeing the young master working so hard, it really feels like a dream."

Dong Yan, who was standing aside, couldn't help but say.

In the past, the young master only went to gambling houses to drink wine, but now, except for the occasional visit to Yanyulou, gambling houses are almost gone.

"If it weren't for the money, do you think I would be willing?"

Hu Fei glanced at Dong Yan, rolled his eyes and said.

Only a fool would write a book if he really had no money to earn!

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Chun Die and Dong Yan, who were already in awe of him, were stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly and shook their heads. The tall image in their hearts suddenly disappeared.

"Master."

At this moment, Pei Jie walked in from outside and bowed respectfully to Hu Fei.

"How about it?"

Hu Fei raised his eyebrows, glanced at Pei Jie, and asked calmly.

"Reporting to the young master, Qi Yun has already asked a doctor to diagnose and treat his father, and went to get some medicine. Judging from his expression, he should be fine."

Pei Jie replied slowly.

"That's good."

After hearing Pei Jie's answer, Hu Fei nodded with satisfaction.

After helping Qi Yun, he specifically asked Pei Jie to secretly keep an eye on the situation of Qi Yun's family to ensure that he did not do anything in vain, because Qi Yun would be the first person he wanted to subjugate in the Governor's Mansion.

The reason why he chose to enter the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was to conquer some people and establish his own power. However, he did not intend to form a party as rumored, but just hoped to have some power of his own in the army.

These people would not be activated normally, but would only be activated at the most critical moments. To put it bluntly, he just hoped that there would be no one available when he needed available people in the future.

Although Hu Weiyong has gradually handed over the secret forces he cultivated to him, in the final analysis, it is more secure to use his own people, because those people are always loyal to Hu Weiyong.

But what outsiders don't know is that the people he entertains all day are just smoke screens. The people he really wants to conquer are not among those people, but people like Qi Yun who have been silently doing nothing in the army.

A person who is not reused, but actually has outstanding abilities and good conduct.

Qi Yun is a good example.

Moreover, identities like theirs generally don’t attract attention, and it will be difficult to be discovered in the future. If these people have the opportunity, when they reach a certain height in the military, they will definitely become an unknown force.

Small power.

"By the way, how much did he sell for my calligraphy painting?"

When Hu Fei thought of this, he suddenly remembered the original painting he gave to Qi Yun, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

But after hearing Hu Fei's question, Pei Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly, showing a distressed look on his face.

"He didn't sell it. Instead, he took the young master's original work and exchanged it with the doctor in the drug store."

Pei Jie said with a grimace, as if he hoped that the young master might as well give him the words.

After hearing what Pei Jie said, Hu Fei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and smiled.

"This Qi Yun is really honest. He has a true identity from the young master, but he has no greed at all. He only wants to save his father."

Dong Yan couldn't help but said with approval.

"What do you mean by being honest? He is simply stupid. He may not even know that a casual sale of the young master's words will be enough for his family to have food and clothing for a lifetime."

Chun Die glanced at Dong Yan and said with a look of disgust.

"Not bad."

But Hu Fei was extremely happy after hearing this and couldn't help but nod his head frequently.

There are not many people like Qi Yun who are not greedy for money and wealth. He is very satisfied.

It's enough to have a master who is greedy for money. If everyone under his command is greedy for money, what's the point?

...

The next day.

Hanlinxuan backyard.

Early in the morning, Hu Fei was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by a knock on the door.

It was almost midnight last night when he was writing about Liaozhai, so he stayed here. He planned to sleep until he woke up naturally, but unexpectedly there was a knock on the door at dawn.

"who?!"

Hu Feiren was still in bed, gritting his teeth and staring at the door and yelling.

"Master, Qi Yun is here."

Pei Jie's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing Pei Jie's words, Hu Fei was stunned for a moment and sat up from the bed, with an excited smile on his face.

"Please!"

Hu Fei didn't even wear any clothes, so he shouted directly outside, as if he was afraid that Qi Yun would run away.

Soon, Qi Yun followed Pei Jie and pushed the door open and walked into Hu Fei's room.

But when he saw Hu Fei sitting on the couch without any clothes on, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, with a trace of apology on his face.

"My subordinate Qi Yun has met the young master."

Qi Yun bowed and said respectfully.

"No need, no need."

"How did you come?"

Hu Fei waved his hand and asked with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yun was seen kneeling on the ground on one knee.

"Sir, the doctor came to see my father at home yesterday. He not only diagnosed the cause of the disease, but also prescribed the medicine. This morning, my father's illness has eased, so Qi Yunte came to express his thanks to the master."

Qi Yun knelt on the ground and said with gratitude.

"This is a good thing, you can rest assured now."

Hu Fei smiled and said slowly.

"My father heard that the young master had given me a helping hand, and specially ordered his subordinates to come and express his gratitude. However, my subordinate's family has always been poor and has nothing to repay. I only have a lowly body. If the young master does not dislike it, my subordinates will be willing to follow the young master in the future and go up and down the mountain for him.

In the sea of ​​​​fire, keep an eye on your horse, and you will not give up even if you die!"

Qi Yun looked at Hu Fei and said seriously.

"There is no mountain of swords, no sea of ​​fire, and there is no immortality. I'm serious."

Hu Fei waved his hand, shook his head and said, but his heart was already happy.

"Does the young master think that his subordinates are incompetent?"

Qi Yun lowered his head in despair and couldn't help but say.

"You misunderstood. I'm not going to kill people or set fire. I don't need you to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire. If you really want to, just follow me. I can't guarantee anything else, but I will be responsible for your father and your father's future lives.

, I can guarantee that they will live a prosperous life, and they will not be as ill as before."

Hu Fei put away his smile, looked at Qi Yun, and said seriously.

"Thank you so much, Sir, for your support. I will definitely be devastated."
