Xie Fu smiled and said: "That's right, didn't I agree to be your slave for the rest of my life?"
Tantai He smiled affectionately: "I will play this game with you after I give birth to the child."
"Hey, I didn't think about it that way."
Tantai Heqing is a rare flirt: "I like it, I like your naughty look, and your wretched look when you are in trouble."
After changing into his shirt, Xie Fu felt it was too gorgeous, "Let's change into something more ordinary."
Tantai Heqing was confused, and Xie Fu explained: "When you go to meet friends, you don't have to be too showy."
"You are going to see Mr. Lu and Mr. Gu."
"Master Lu and Master Lu and I are friends, so there is no need to be overly polite."
Xie Fu smiled: "Is it possible that everyone has to ask his servant to clear the way?"
After changing into ordinary clothes, Tantai Heqing felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but muttered: "The momentum is much worse."
Xie Fu joked: "Does your husband's temperament need to be decorated by clothes? When I was a pretty boy, you fell in love with me at first sight."
Tantai Heqing spat: "Big-headed Qiaolin, you are so mean-mouthed that I have to treat you as a model."
"Why did you say bad words?"
"What's wrong with swearing? I'll just say it."
Xie Fu smiled: "No wonder people say that old ladies love to be rough."
"screw you."
Xie Fu wore casual clothes and strode out of the threshold. Tantai Heqing reminded him: "Go to the back."
Xie Fu smiled and nodded to express his understanding. As soon as he came out of the back door, someone jumped out from under the tree and blocked Xie Fu's path: "After guarding for several days, I finally caught one."
Xie Fu looked at the man in front of him. He was tall and rough-looking, with thick dark circles under his eyes. He looked tired, as if he hadn't slept well in several days.
The man was also looking at Xie Fu and asked softly: "Sir? Young Master?"
Xie Fu smiled and said: "You can just call me brother, what are you trying to do to stop me?"
The man rubbed his tired eyes to feel more energetic and said with a smile, "It's nothing."
Xie Fu said: "Since there's nothing else, I'll go."
Seeing this, the man quickly walked around to Fu Xie and said, "Master, please stay. I have something to ask of you! I have something to ask of you!"
Xie Fu simply said: "What's the matter? Tell me."
The man asked weakly: "Sir, what are you doing here in Tantai Mansion?"
Xie Fu asked: "Is it important?"
The man looked at Fu Xie's ordinary clothes and said, "If you were a handyman in Tantai Mansion, I wouldn't be able to help you."
Xie Fu didn't know what role to assign to him. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "I can barely talk to the housekeeper in this mansion."
The man was delighted when he heard this: "That's great. This dog housekeeper looks down on people and ignores me."
Xie Fu looked at the man in front of him. Although Butler Kong was not this kind of person, he had a duty and could not let people into the house casually. "I still have something to do. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
The man then said: "It's like this. My eldest brother Hu has a letter to be handed over to Lord Jiedushi Xie. I don't know if the young master's relationship can allow the dog steward to present it to Lord Jiedushi."
Xie Fu looked at the person in front of him and guessed his identity.
The man misunderstood, and immediately took out his wallet: "Of course I won't let the young master's help go to waste. This is your errand fee for the young master."
Xie Fu smiled in his heart. He had been giving benefits to others all his life, but this was the first time he was afraid of receiving benefits. Out of curiosity, he took the purse and wanted to see how much benefit he would get from doing things for others.
How do you know that this heavy body is full of copper plates, not even a hint of silver light.
The man said: "Although I don't have much money, I can still let you go to the restaurant a few times and have a few drinks."
"But if the young master only accepts money and does not handle things properly, don't blame me for beating you every time I see you."
As the man spoke, he stared at Xie Fu to judge whether he had this ability.
Xie Fu said with a smile: "I will accept the money, and I will handle the matter for you and ensure that Master Jiedushi can read this letter."
The man was surprised: "Really!" Although he gave the money to the other party in advance, he was ready to snatch it back at any time.
Xie Fu did not answer the man's question, but asked: "But I want to know who you are?"
"I am a grain transporter from Muzhou. Have you heard about this military competition? I also want to participate, so I hope you can send this letter to the Lord Jiedushi, so that Lord Jiedushi can show his face.
"
After hearing this, Fu Xie couldn't help laughing. Youdao said that it takes ten food transport soldiers to feed one combat soldier. Food transport soldiers are the soldiers with the least combat effectiveness in the army. To put it bluntly, they are no different from ordinary people.
If the government army is classified as a regular army, the local government officials are responsible for assisting arrests, and the patrolling soldiers are miscellaneous troops.
This grain transport soldier is simply a miscellaneous brand. Is the threshold for this military competition so low?
Wouldn't it be a waste to wear those expensive armors on these soldiers?
Seeing Fu Xie's sarcastic smile, the man said displeasedly: "Don't underestimate us. We are all one against ten. Take our brother Hu as an example. He is so brave that he can become a general."
Xie Fu smiled; "Where's the letter?"
The man handed the letter over and suddenly retracted his hand: "Can you do it? Don't miss my important event."
Xie Fu said calmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely do something good for you after receiving your money."
Xie Fu took the letter and opened it to see what was written in the letter to convince himself.
When the man saw it, he stopped him and said, "What are you doing!"
Xie Fu said with a smile: "Just ask me to deliver the letter casually. You don't have to see what the letter looks like first. Who knows whether you will poison me or not."
"Nonsense!"
"Besides, it won't be the same if I wait until you leave before opening it."
Xie Fu said and opened the letter, but there was only a crooked Chinese character written on it. Xie Fu looked surprised, and three words immediately came to his mind - Hu Diquan!
Hu Diquan was illiterate. When he thanked his master for teaching him how to write his own name, Hu Diquan studied for several days, but he could only write one word "Hu".
Except for Hu Diquan, no one in the world can write such ugly Hu characters.
Folding the letter back into the envelope, he said to the man: "Go back and tell your brother Hu that it's done!"
The man was overjoyed and bowed to express his thanks: "Young man is a good man, and you will love your beautiful mother all your life."
Xie Fu was caught off guard by the harsh words. This was probably the best blessing. He laughed loudly and said, "Thank you for your good wishes."
When they arrived at the Lu Mansion, Lu Tao was not there. The housekeeper asked Xie Fu to take a seat in the hall. He immediately sent someone to the state capital to inform him.
After Xiefu had about two cups of tea, he heard steady and powerful footsteps coming from outside.
Lu Tao strode into the living room. Xie Fu stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Master Lu."
Now that Mr. Xie thinks he is a military envoy and no longer a commoner, Lu Tao bows to his colleagues: "Thank you, sir."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, when you call me that, you will immediately become a stranger."
Lu Tao laughed loudly: "Master Xie is now a second-rank official, how can Lu be disrespectful?"
Although he said polite words in the officialdom, he didn't say anything strange after sitting down. The two had known each other for some years. Lu Tao had been optimistic about Xie Fu from the beginning, secretly supported and helped Xie Fu, and watched Xie Fu grow up step by step.
today.
Xie Fu has always been helped by Lu Tao and deeply admires Lu Tao's character.
When we stood together to deal with the Zhu family, we had already established an indestructible seal of alliance.
Although Mr. Xie is now in a high position and Lu Tao is in trouble, he still maintains the humility of a junior in front of Lu Tao. Seeing Lu Tao's dusty appearance, he sincerely said: "It is really a blessing to the people of Suzhou to have Mr. Lu in Suzhou as a parent official who works hard for the people."
ah."
Lu Tao waved his hand calmly: "It's not just for a false reputation."
Xie Fu looked surprised. A wise man like Lu Tao was really outclassed when he said these words.
Lu Tao smiled meaningfully: "Thank you, Fu, you must not think so."
Xie Fu nodded: "I am willing to listen to your advice."
Lu Tao smiled and said: "When I was young, I also set my sights on the whole world..."
As he spoke, he pondered, lowered his eyes and said softly: "I clearly see a lot of things, but I can't do anything about it. Just because of this repeated pull of wanting to do something but being unable to do anything, my ambition has also hit the bottom."
He looked gently at Xie Fu, who said to him: "If you are great, you can help the world; if you are poor, you can only take care of yourself."
Lu Tao smiled and said, "You're right. I'm not capable of helping the whole world, but I'm not so poor that I can live alone. My capabilities are only limited to this one-third of an acre in Suzhou."
Xie Fu nodded: "Suzhou is the richest city in the south of the Yangtze River."
Lu Tao laughed loudly: "Suzhou is now prosperous and prosperous, thanks to the accumulation of ancestors and predecessors. I, Lu Tao, believe that I have contributed a lot."
"There are always some pioneers who say that the people are poor, but the rich and famous are extremely extravagant. The rich and famous are cancerous. I don't agree with this. The rich and powerful are like the phoenix with colorful wings. The appearance of things is different. You always
We can’t expect all birds in the world to have uniform gray feathers.”
Xie Fu responded with a smile: "Master Lu, you don't need to take the words of those pioneers to heart. These people are just like the nonsense people in the market. They talk about righteousness and awe-inspiring. When they get up, they are the first to forget their roots. They are also oppressing the poor.
The most powerful group of people."
Lu Tao laughed loudly: "Bitch!"
Xie Fuhehe: "Yes, she is a bitch!"
Lu Tao continued: "I think wealthy and famous families are like a stream. Where it flows, flowers, plants, trees, birds and animals all nourish each other. The mountains are full of sound and color, and everything is full of vitality."
Fu Xie was thoughtful when he heard this, just like the Xie family's family motto has nourished the Xie family for hundreds of years, so the Xie family's children are diligent in learning, upholding self-discipline, and caring for the people.
But compared to Lu Tao's theory of streams, which nourish a family alone, Geguojiu seems small.
Lu Tao said with a smile: "I think the Lu Clan is a stream in Suzhou, which nourishes the people of Suzhou, and also uses this river as a screen to block beasts and thieves."
Xie Fu smiled and nodded. If Suzhou didn't have the Four Clans of Wuzhong, this prosperous and prosperous place would have been taken advantage of by greedy people and they would eat away at it.
Lu Tao continued: "Of course, things have pros and cons, and streams and rivers have clear and turbid currents. If it becomes a turbid current, it will inevitably bring diseases and plagues, and eventually turn it into a dead place."
"Seeking benevolence will lead to benevolence. Naturally, I will not allow such a thing to happen."
Xie Fu secretly thought that this was probably Lu Tao's determination to deal with the Zhu clan. If Lu Tao had let it go, he would have become complicit.
Lu Tao returned to the topic: "The reputation of this family is the source of cleanliness."
