Hu Mansion.

Linglong Court.

When Hu Fei returned to Linglong Garden with a big box full of silver, he immediately attracted a crowd of maids to watch. Everyone seemed a little excited when they saw so much white silver.

"Xia Chan, I'll leave these things to you. You know calligraphy and painting. By the way, help me find out how much these calligraphy and paintings are worth. Find time to sell them."

Hu Fei sat on a chair, took a sip of tea, and said to Xia Chan.

Xia Chan was originally responsible for the daily expenses of Linglong Garden and the monthly payment of the maids.

Xia Chan agreed, stepped forward, took out the calligraphy and paintings from the box and looked at them for a few times, and couldn't help showing surprise.

"Young Master, these calligraphy and paintings were all made by famous artists from the Tang and Song Dynasties. Each one of them is extraordinary!"

Xia Chan looked at the signature on the calligraphy and painting with bright eyes, and said with some excitement.

"Just tell me if it's worth it?"

Hu Fei asked bluntly.

After seeing so much money with his own eyes, he suddenly realized how good it felt to be rich and became very interested in money.

When it comes to things like money, of course the more the better.

"Young Master, these treasures are extremely precious. You are lucky to get one. They cannot be described as valuable or not. In the eyes of the literati of our court, these are priceless treasures."

Xia Chan said, showing a trace of regret.

She has always liked music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Faced with so many legacy works of her predecessors, how could she not feel pity when she heard that the young master was selling them.

"You like it?"

Hu Fei saw the unbearable look in Xia Chan's eyes and asked with a smile.

"I..."

Xia Chan hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer. She couldn't stop the young master from selling.

"I'll give it to you if you like it."

Hu Fei waved his hand and said loudly.

Hearing Hu Fei's words, Xia Chan was startled and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Really?! Master?!"

Xia Chan couldn't believe her ears and thought Hu Fei was deliberately teasing her.

"Master, when have I ever lied to you? Take it."

Hu Fei said with a smile.

I just came here, so I definitely haven’t deceived you. As for whether your young master has deceived you before, I don’t know.

Hu Fei thought.

To be honest, a few paintings and calligraphy are nothing to him, but if he can make Xia Chan happy through these paintings and calligraphy, he doesn't mind.

After all, they all followed the real Hu Fei before. How much loyalty they have in their hearts is still unknown, and among them there are probably dead soldiers buried by Hu Weiyong beside him. What he wants to do is not only fight in the capital's party struggle

To survive in the whirlpool, you must cultivate your own power, and you cannot rely entirely on Hu Weiyong.

"Thank you, Master! Thank you!"

Xia Chan said gratefully with a smile on her face, and then held a few calligraphy and paintings in her arms, for fear of being broken or damaged.

"The young master is really partial!"

Spring Die standing aside looked at Xia Chan who was smiling and couldn't help but said sourly.

"What? You want it too? You don't know how to calligraphy and painting, so it's just a decoration for you, and it's a waste of natural resources."

Hu Fei turned to look at Chundie who was holding his mouth and said with a smile.

"I..."

When Chundie heard this, her face turned red and she looked even more aggrieved.

She really didn't know how to calligraphy and painting, otherwise she wouldn't have let Xia Chan take the lead.

"What are you doing? If you really don't want to give in, at worst, I will allow you to sleep with me tonight. How about that?"

Hu Fei pretended to think deeply and looked at Chundie as if he had made a major decision.

"Xia Chan, let me help you put away all the calligraphy, paintings and money!"

When Chundie heard this, her face immediately turned red, and she hurriedly called a few maids to carry the box and leave.

Seeing Chundie's panic, Hu Fei couldn't help laughing.

Xia Chan smiled, bowed gratefully to Hu Fei, and left behind Chun Die.

Autumn oriole and winter geese also saluted one after another and dispersed.

Pei Jie also slowly stepped back at this time, but in the direction of the front yard.

"stop!"

At this moment, Hu Fei suddenly called out to Pei Jie.

"Master, what are your orders?"

Pei Jie was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Hu Fei and bowed.

"Where are you going?"

Hu Fei asked calmly.

Pei Jie frowned and was speechless for a moment.

"I hate half-hearted people the most. If you have been wronged by following me, I don't mind if you go back to your old friend. But since you choose to follow me, you can only be loyal to me. You can't serve two masters, and don't fall in love with both!

"

"Can you understand what I mean?"

Hu Fei stared at Pei Jie and said coldly.

He knew that Pei Jie must have thought of reporting today's events to Hu Weiyong in the front yard.

"Young Master, please forgive me, I don't dare to do that."

Pei Jie was shaken and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.

"If you are willing, you are from Linglong Garden. I will tell the old man in person. If you are not willing, don't let me see you from now on. It's your choice!"

Hu Fei said coldly, got up and walked out of the main hall, heading towards his bedroom.

"This subordinate is willing to serve the young master for the rest of his life and will never regret it until his death!"

Pei Jie hurriedly bowed and said.

Although he didn't like this young master from the bottom of his heart before, after getting in touch with him these days, he suddenly felt that the young master was not as useless as he seemed on the surface. After being in contact with him for a long time, he felt that the young master had an infatuating charm that could not be explained.

.

He didn't want to betray the master, but he didn't want to leave the young master's side.

"Okay, then from today on, you can only be loyal to me. I will tell the old man personally."

Hu Fei left the main hall directly, talking as he walked, with a satisfied smile on his lips.

...

night.

The north gate of the capital.

In front of a carriage, an old man helped his haggard wife and knelt in front of Hu Fei.

"Thank you very much for your great kindness, young master. I will never forget it. It's a pity that I am already old. Otherwise, I would have to work as a cow and a horse for you to repay your kindness for rescuing your slutty wife."

The old man said with a cry and gratitude.

"I'm serious, get out of the city quickly, find a place where no one knows you, hire a better doctor, treat her well, and don't go back to the capital again."

Hu Fei waved his hand and reached out to help the old man and his wife up.

"Let's go quickly. If you don't go, the city gate will be closed."

On the side, the old man's son hung his head impatiently and said with a careless look on his face.

"You bastard! Why don't you kneel down and thank me!? If it weren't for this young master, your mother might not have been able to survive! Are you still making sarcastic remarks here!? Believe it or not, I'll break your legs!"

When the old man heard this, he became furious and stared at his son and shouted.

"Didn't I just give you a sum of money? I said it as if I had received a great favor! I had to leave the city in the middle of the night, so the five hundred taels of silver from the Yushi Zhongcheng Mansion were just wasted?! If I didn't leave, maybe I would

It’s still possible to achieve success at this point!”

The old man's son said dissatisfied.

"Shut up! You're like this and you still want to rise to the top, just dream about it! Don't mention this matter again in the future!"
