The waiter lifts up the delicate and feeble girl. It is the beginning of a new blessing. The beautiful hair on the temples is swaying with golden steps, and the hibiscus tent warms the spring night!
Just when Zhao Pan'er went to Yue Lao Temple to worship the gods, her sister Song Yinzhang and Song Yinzhang's personal maid Yin Ping, with Yue Lao's blessing, Yuan Xudong helped complete the adult ceremony. From then on, they were no longer ignorant.
A girl, but a charming woman, won the love and affection of Yuan Xudong, and started a new life. She was like a free bird in the sky, able to fly freely and sing as much as she wanted, just to cater to Yuan Xudong's wishes.
The rain and dew are benevolent, the golden house is dressed up like a charming servant at night, the jade house is drunk and spring is over!
Behind the hazy curtain, on the huge bed, Yuan Xudong's sweaty body was in the middle, with his arms open. Song Yinzhang and Yin Ping, one on the left and one on the right, rested on his arms respectively, snuggling in his arms with their eyes slightly closed.
, the two women's slightly sweaty temples were stuck to their foreheads, their faces were flushed and moist, their chests hidden by the big red brocade were rising and falling, and they were panting slightly. Yuan Xudong was in the middle, with a smile on his face, and they kissed each other lovingly.
When Song Yinzhang and Yin Ping girl, who were all weak and weak, suddenly felt very satisfied and happy, the spring night was short and the sun was rising, the king would not go to court early from now on. This was probably a reflection of his current state of mind!
Lying on the bed, covered with a big red brocade quilt, holding Song Yinzhang and Yin Ping girl on his left and right, Yuan Xudong exhaled comfortably and sighed in his heart, the beauty is delicious, the ancients sincerely did not deceive me!
Regardless of their current identities, the feelings and life experiences given to Yuan Xudong by Song Yinzhang and Yinping Girl can be said to be completely different. Yinping Girl is a maid. She has learned how to take care of people and cater to her master since she was a child, just like Xiaojiabiyu.
She is cute and lively, and she also knows how to serve her master. Compared with her, although Song Yinzhang is a musician and lives in a humble family, he is undoubtedly much luckier!
Song Yinzhang was the best pipa player in the south of the Yangtze River. He played the pipa superbly. He had a high status in the Jiaofang Department and was enthusiastically sought after by dignitaries and literati. Apart from having no freedom, he looked like a star in later generations.
, she is served by slaves when she comes in and out, and she wears gold and silver. She is treated like a lady from an official family. She has no fingers in the spring water, but she has developed a ladylike temperament among everyone!
To put it simply, when Yuan Xudong was playing with Song Yinzhang and Yinping Girl, Yinping Girl knew how to flatter and please him, but Song Yinzhang didn't know anything and could only let Yuan Xudong manipulate him and let Yuan Xudong serve her. The two were completely different.
The different performances gave Yuan Xudong the greatest sense of satisfaction. He just wanted time to stop and love the two little ladies!
The setting sun, the dark red afterglow shone into the room, reflecting the curtain in front of the bed crimson. Song Yinzhang and Yinping girl also recovered some strength. Looking at Yuan Xudong lying in the middle of the bed, Yinping girl said shyly:
"Master Xiao, get up, the sun has set!"
"Lie down for a while and get up!"
Seeing that Yin Ping couldn't call Yuan Xudong, Song Yinzhang stood up slightly from the side, pushed Yuan Xudong with his hand and urged:
"Mr. Xiao, please get up quickly and wait until night to rest!"
"No hurries?"
Looking at Song Yinzhang, who was slightly hunched over half of his body, with shoulders half exposed and a peach-like face, Yuan Xudong took her into his arms and said with a playful smile:
"Little lady, you still call me Mr. Xiao?"
Being hugged and played in Yuan Xudong's arms, Song Yinzhang felt that his whole body was soft and weak, so he snuggled into Yuan Xudong's arms, enjoying his tenderness and caressing and murmured in a low voice:
"Mr. Xiao, then if I don't call you Mr. Xiao, what should I call you?"
"What do you mean?"
Laying the limp Song Yinzhang under his body, Yuan Xudong stroked her delicate face and said with a smile:
"I allow you to call me Fan Lang!"
"Fanlang~~"
The soft and waxy sound that penetrated Yuan Xudong's bones made all the bones in Yuan Xudong's body soften a bit. He looked closely at the beauty lying under him. She had a beautiful face, bright eyes and white teeth, a rosy face, and a skin like white jade. Such a beautiful lady,
Yuan Xudong regarded it as a treasure and said:
"Yin Zhang, I will treat you well in the future!"
"Well, thank you Fan Lang!"
After a while, she saw Yuan Xudong and her young lady Song Yinzhang starting to play and play again. Yin Ping girl blushed and looked carefully for a while. When Song Yinzhang softly asked for help, she took over her young lady Song Yinzhang's place.
At nightfall, Yuan Xudong sat in the guest seat with a blushing Song Yinzhang in his arms. Yin Ping girl stood aside to serve. Qiantang County Magistrate Zheng Qingtian sat in the main seat. He looked at Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:
"Young master Xiao is so talented. In just half a day's effort, he subdued the number one pipa master in Jiangnan. I admire you!"
"Lord Zheng, you are joking. Madam Yin Zhang is so talented and beautiful. It took only half a day, but I surrendered under her pomegranate skirt!"
As he spoke, Yuan Xudong touched Song Yinzhang's face and said with a frivolous smile:
"Ms. Yin Zhang, do you think what I said is correct?"
After giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Song Yinzhang neither agreed nor objected. He just shrank into his arms and turned his back to Zheng Qingtian, his face flushed with embarrassment. Seeing her like this, Zheng Qingtian even laughed and said:
"Young Master Xiao is very capable. I am really convinced. Madam Song is both talented and beautiful. I congratulate you, Young Master Xiao, for finally getting what you wanted!"
"No, I have to thank Master Zheng for helping me!"
"Drink, drink, I won't come home until I'm drunk tonight!"
"Okay, I won't come back until I'm drunk!"
Changing cups and drinking glasses, Yuan Xudong held Song Yinzhang in his arms and caressed him, drank fine wine poured from a silver bottle, and ate the delicacies Zheng Qingtian specially ordered from Xiangyunlou, the most famous restaurant in Qiantang, acting like a
Like the cynical Xiao Yameni, Zheng Qingtian began to test out:
"Mr. Xiao, I admire Minister Xiao very much and have always wanted to be my disciple. However, I have no one to recommend him. I wonder if Mr. Xiao can help me introduce him?"
"No problem. As long as Mr. Zheng has the ability, my old man will definitely welcome him. After all, there is strength in numbers!"
"Then thank you so much, Mr. Xiao!"
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xudong was so easy to talk to. Zheng Qingtian was immediately overjoyed and laughed:
"Mr. Xiao, if there is any need for me in the future, just send someone to tell me, and I will do my best to help you!"
"Since Mr. Zheng is so polite, then I, Xiao Fan, won't be pretentious!"
Holding Song Yinzhang in his arms and caressing her tenderly, Yuan Xudong looked at Zheng Qingtian and smiled pretending to be embarrassed:
"Master Zheng, to be honest, I want to take Yinzhang back to Tokyo with me, but you also know that Yinzhang is from a humble background and is a musician in the Jiaofang Division. He is not allowed to leave Qiantang County Music without the relevant documents from the government.
Ying, I wonder if Mr. Zheng can help me to let Yin Zhang leave his country and return to his hometown, and become a son of a good family again?"
"this"
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xudong would ask him to help Song Yinzhang expatriate and return to his hometown. Zheng Qingtian was a little confused:
"Master Xiao, the Leying matter still needs Xu Zhizhou's approval."
"I know!"
Feeling that Song Yinzhang in his arms was a little nervous, Yuan Xudong gently patted the back of her hand to reassure her, then looked at Zheng Qingtian and smiled directly:
"Master Zheng, if you really think it's difficult to handle, forget it. I'll write a letter to my old man and ask him to help me think of a solution!"
"I can't do it, I can't do it!"
When he heard that Yuan Xudong wanted to write a letter to Ambassador Xiao, it was to help a lowly woman to deregister her citizenship, Zheng Qingtian was shocked and said:
"Leave this matter to your subordinates. There is no need to trouble the minister. I still have some friendship with Xu Zhizhou. When I write a letter, I will definitely make Mrs. Song leave her country as soon as possible and return to a good family."
!”
"Thank you very much, Mr. Zheng!"
Saying that, Yuan Xudong gently patted Song Yinzhang in his arms and said with a smile:
"Introduction, why don't you thank Mr. Zheng quickly?"
"Hmm~~"
Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Song Yinzhang suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned to look at Zheng Qingtian, smiled slightly and thanked:
"Thank you for the introduction, Lord County!"
“No gifts, no gifts!”
Knowing that Song Yinzhang was excited, Yuan Xudong took out the fire coral hairpin from her hair, then gently patted her buttocks twice and said with a smile:
"Okay, let's go out and play with Yin Ping for a while, and Master Zheng and I will talk alone!"
"Well, Yin Ping and I are waiting for you outside!"
With that said, Song Yinzhang got down from Yuan Xudong's arms, and together with Yin Ping, he bowed to Yuan Xudong and Zheng Qingtian. Then he respectfully left the room and closed the door. The room suddenly became quiet, and Yuan Xudong was playing with it.
Song Yinzhang's fire coral hairpin smiled and said:
"This fire coral hairpin is so beautiful. It costs at least three or four thousand dollars in Tokyo, but it only costs one thousand dollars in Qiantang. Master Zheng, do you know why?"
Looking at the fire coral hairpin held in Yuan Xudong's hand, Zheng Qingtian narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile:
"Tokyo is the capital of the Song Dynasty, with a population of one million, tens of thousands of merchants in the capital, prosperous commerce, and wealthy residents. In addition, there are many relatives of the emperor, famous families, dignitaries, etc., so prices are naturally more expensive.
!”
"That's right, there is indeed a reason for this!"
Glancing at Zheng Qingtian, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"If I read it correctly, this fire coral hairpin is produced in Nanyang. The imperial court collects at least 50% of the shipping tax. The imperial court strictly ordered all merchants from Java, Chenla, and Srivijaya to only allow Guangzhou shipping.
Ships and merchants from Fujian and Guangzhou, Zhejiang and Shandong. In this way, one or two lilacs are sold from Guangzhou for thirty or forty yuan, half of which is the municipal shipping tax. The nearest shipping company is in Hangzhou, the city
The shipping envoy is usually held concurrently by the county magistrate of Qiantang, that is, Master Zheng, as long as you quietly allow Nanyang merchants to dock in Hangzhou and smuggle accounts, Master Zheng should be very clear about the huge profits involved, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Xiao is indeed very perceptive and attentive. He can understand the ship trade in the south of the Yangtze River through the price changes of a fire coral hairpin!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong, Zheng Qingtian directly admitted:
"Xiaguan did indeed open the sea ban privately, but it was not just Xiaguan alone, but all the officials in charge of Jiangnan, large and small. They all accepted the benefits from Xiaguan and chose to turn a blind eye.
One eye!"
"Not necessarily?"
Looking at Zheng Qingtian who was quite proud, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Yang Zhiyuan, the judge who transported the two Zhejiang roads, is in charge of Jiangnan's finances. You secretly opened the sea ban and enriched your own pockets. He must have known that the Yang Mansion was murdered and set on fire by men in black. If I hadn't been present, those people from the Imperial City Department, and
Yang Zhiyuan’s family is full of people, I’m afraid they’re all going to die, right?”
At this point, seeing that Zheng Qingtian wanted to say something else, Yuan Xudong waved his hand directly and said:
"Mr. Zheng, whether you are privately imposing a sea ban or trying to kill Yang Zhiyuan and silence everyone, I have no control over it and I don't want to. Seeing that you have done me a small favor, I will kindly remind you that you
The arrest document was issued to kill the two people from the Imperial City Division. One of them is the commander of the Imperial City Division, Gu Qianfan, who is known as the living hell. His background is very complicated. If you kill him, you will at least be ignorant.
Tribe, if you can't kill him and let him return to Tokyo to report to the Mingguan family, you will be dead. Okay, that's all I have to say, how to save yourself, you can think of a way for yourself, I will go back first.
Thank you very much, Mr. Zheng, for your hospitality today!"
After that, Yuan Xudong stood up and left. Behind him, Zheng Qingtian's face turned green and white, and he didn't know what to do. Just when Yuan Xudong was about to go out, Zheng Qingtian suddenly stood up, bent down and bowed, and shouted respectfully:
"I also ask Mr. Xiao to stay. I sincerely submit to the Prime Minister and I am willing to work hard for the Xiao family. My entire wealth is worth more than 400,000 yuan. I am willing to dedicate it all to the Prime Minister and the Young Master. I also ask the Young Master to save my life."
!”
Hearing that Zheng Qingtian was willing to be loyal to the Xiao family and to pay more than 400,000 yuan to buy his life, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but stop, turned around and walked back to Zheng Qingtian, helped him up and said with a smile:
"Master Zheng is too polite. Since Master Zheng is so sincere, I will teach you a few tricks. First, cancel the sea arrest document and say that the pirate leader who committed the crime has been caught!"
"Yes, I will go and do it right away!"
"Secondly, regarding the murders and arson of the Yang family, as well as the private establishment of a maritime ban, before Gu Qianfan returns to Tokyo, you compile a list and give it to my old man, kill some of them, and imprison some more. This matter will be over.
If nothing happens, you will have to decide what to do next!"
"Yes, I understand!"
Zheng Qingtian raised his head and glanced at Yuan Xudong, hesitated a little and said:
"Master Xiao, I don't know Gu Qianfan's identity."
Knowing that Zheng Qingtian still refused to give up, Yuan Xudong smiled and said half-truthfully:
"Gu Qianfan is the grandson of Gu Shenyan, the old minister of the Ministry of Rites. His father is my father, his mother is my mother, and his grandfather is my grandfather. When he was very young, he was adopted as a son by my uncle. There is no such thing as
How many people know that, in fact, he is still a secret agent arranged by my father in the Imperial City Department. What do you think will happen to you if you kill my brother, the eldest son of Ambassador Xiao?"
"ah?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Qianfan would be Yuan Xudong's biological brother and Xiao Qinyan's eldest son. Zheng Qingtian was shocked and said:
"I have no idea, I have no intention of offending the Xiao family. Please forgive me, Mr. Xiao!"
"No problem!"
Yuan Xudong waved his hand and said nonchalantly:
"As long as the person is not dead, I am his brother, not his father. His father is very protective of his shortcomings. You'd better see my father before him. Otherwise, he will be bullied by you. Go home and find my father."
If you cry and make trouble, you will be dead, and I can't save you!"
"Yes, I will remember the young master's teachings!"
After hesitating for a moment, Zheng Qingtian looked at Yuan Xudong and whispered:
"Mr. Xiao, in fact, not only do I want to kill Commander Gu to silence him, but Lei Jinglei of the Imperial City Division in Tokyo also wants to kill him and silence him. A secret order has been issued to kill him without mercy. Do you want me to do it?"
"Rays Company?"
After listening to Zheng Qingtian's words, Yuan Xudong thought for a moment. The position of company manager is one level higher than that of commander. Lei company company should be Gu Qianfan's immediate boss. This big brother is quite annoying. Everyone wants to kill him, or...
Use him because his father is good to him, but he dislikes his father for not being a good person. He insists on cheating his father. After being bullied, he goes home to ask his father for help. After that, he puts on a arrogant face. I don’t care about you.
Help, I want to run away from home, I want to sever the father-son relationship with you!
It's just that Yuan Xudong looks down on him. Yuan Xudong is shameless at best, but Gu Qianfan is very shameless and does very shameless things. However, his father likes to play off his eldest son. The more he quarrels with him, the happier he is.
This made Yuan Xudong very helpless. On the way to cheating his father, he still had to learn more from Gu Qianfan!
Thinking of this, Yuan Xudong looked at Zheng Qingtian who was waiting aside and smiled:
"Okay, that's it for today. You can tell my dad about this and he will reward you. I'll go back first. Bye!"
"Please wait!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong about to leave, Zheng Qingtian quickly stopped him and said:
"Mr. Xiao, it's dark outside and curfew is about to begin. I'd better arrange for someone to take you back!"
"That's fine!"
After coming out of the Qiantang County government office, Yuan Xudong, Song Yinzhang, and Yin Ping girl rode in a luxurious carriage together. The government servants from the government office were responsible for escorting them along the way. They drove all the way to Zhao Paner's tea shop. In the carriage, Song Yinzhang was still holding her precious baby.
Pipa and Yin Ping girl were secretly eating tea fruits that were always provided in the carriage. Seeing Yuan Xudong sitting in the middle of the carriage with a stack of paper counting in his hand, Yin Ping couldn't help laughing and said:
"Master Xiao, what are you looking at?"
"you guess?"
Raising the gold and silver shop certificate in his hand, Yuan Xudong looked at the lively Yin Ping girl and smiled:
"How about you take a random card here and sell yourself to me?"
"I do not want!"
She was already Yuan Xudong's, and knowing that Yuan Xudong liked to make such jokes with her, Yin Ping ran to Song Yinzhang and acted coquettishly:
"Miss, Mr. Xiao wants to exchange paper for a silver bottle. Is the silver bottle so worthless?"
"Then how much do you want to sell it for?"
Looking at the weird silver vase, Song Yinzhang said with a smile.
“I won’t sell it for any money!”
"You said it doesn't count!"
With a laugh, Yuan Xudong grabbed Yin Ping's willow waist, held her in his arms and said with pity:
"However, I can promise you that as long as you sell yourself to me, from now on, you will be mine. No one can drive you away, not even me. Do you want to sell me?"
"want!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong, Yin Ping smiled, casually took out a gold and silver shop deed from his hand and said shyly:
"Okay, this piece of paper belongs to Yin Ping, and the Yin Ping also belongs to Mr. Xiao!"
"Okay, let me see how much the silver vase is worth!"
Holding Yin Ping in his arms, Yuan Xudong took the gold and silver shop deed from her hand and looked at it pretendingly, then returned it to Yin Ping and said with a smile:
"One thousand guan of money is worth a hundred taels of gold. Our silver vase is so valuable!"
"A thousand dollars?"
Looking at such a thin piece of paper in his hand, Yin Ping was a little dumbfounded. He opened his eyes slightly and said in surprise:
"Such a piece of paper can be exchanged for a thousand copper coins?"
"yes!"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong didn't look like he was joking, Song Yinzhang on the side opened his eyes slightly and said in surprise:
"With one thousand guan, isn't that silver bottle richer than me?"
"ah?"
After recovering from his daze, Yin Ping quickly returned the deed of the gold and silver shop in his hand to Yuan Xudong and said in panic:
"I don't dare to ask for so much money. If I encounter a robber, wouldn't I be dead?"
"Okay, then just keep it with me for safekeeping. When you need the money, ask for it from me!"
Yuan Xudong took back the deed to the gold and silver shop that he planned to give to Yin Ping, put it together with the other deeds and said with a smile:
"There are 200,000 guan here. When I go to Tokyo, I will buy a large courtyard. How about each of you having a courtyard?"
"good!"
Glancing at Yuan Xudong, Yin Ping sneered and said:
"Master Xiao, we live in the same courtyard, so where do you live?"
"What do you think?"
Looking at the quirky Yin Ping girl, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but tease her and said with a smile:
"You each have a sign. Whichever one you turn over, I will go to that yard to rest, okay?"
Hearing what Yuan Xudong said, Song Yinzhang and Yin Ping couldn't help but blush. Song Yinzhang spat lightly, while Yin Ping blushed and said shyly:
"Then I want to live in the same courtyard as my lady!"
Holding the silver vase, Yuan Xudong looked at Song Yinzhang who was blushing with shame and said with a smile:
"Okay, your lady is weak, you might as well help her!"
