Xiangqin glared at him and spat: "Men really don't have any good things. I thought you were different from others, but now I find that you are also a slut who likes the new, dislikes the old, and covets beauty." Her words seemed quite serious.
Wronged.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Sister Qin, please don't say that. Others may think I did something to you if they don't know."
Xiangqin laughed and pushed Hu Xiaotian on the shoulder, which seemed coy but was very powerful. Hu Xiaotian was pushed so hard that he almost fell to the ground. Xiangqin said delicately: "I hate it, you just want to do whatever you want to me.
, they are not afraid either." She got a handkerchief from somewhere, covered her mouth and nose, made a very shy look, and then let out a series of laughter that was not inferior to that of a night owl.
Hu Xiaotian shuddered at her laughter, and he also laughed twice, and sat down with his buttocks on the stone bench in the courtyard. You are not afraid, I am. I am really afraid that you will become lustful and rape me.
By then I won’t be able to find a place to cry.
Xiangqin came up and landed her big butt on the stone bench opposite Hu Xiaotian. Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but worry that the stone bench was too small and the whole thing would get stuck in. Xiangqin gave him a flirtatious look, holding a charming red handkerchief.
The ground waved, and a strong fragrance hit his nostrils. Hu Xiaotian felt dizzy from the smell, and almost forgot the real purpose of his coming.
"What do you want from our lady?"
Only then did Hu Xiaotian remember his mission and quickly took out the letter that had been crumpled by him.
Xiangqin snatched it away and opened it without asking. In fact, the letter was open and there was no need to open it. So Xiangqin had the honor to become the first female reader and read through the contents.
After that, Xiangqin made a sound, and then the big round face smiled at Hu Xiaotian and said: "Did you write it? Is this bullshit Mr. Fenglin your font name?"
Hu Xiaotian secretly praised Xiangqin's comment. He is not just a bullshit Fenglin Master. He smiled and said: "Don't criticize me, it has nothing to do with me. I am delivering a letter for someone else. This letter was sent to Xi by His Highness King Zhou."
Miss Yan sent it here. He also asked me to bring a message to Miss Xiyan to see if Miss Xiyan has time to meet alone?"
Xiangqin looked at him with suspicion and a little contempt.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Where is Miss Xiyan?"
Xiangqin said: "I don't need to see our young lady, I can make the decision to help her return. This poem is nonsense. When I see Mr. Fenglin, I want to vomit. Go back and tell His Highness King Zhou that our young lady
If she doesn’t take customers, she is our shopkeeper.”
Hu Xiaotian's eyes widened. Only now did he know that Xi Yan was the shopkeeper. Looking at Xiangqin's appearance, he was not ashamed but proud. You must know that in modern society, organizing something is a more serious crime than directly doing something. But Hu Xiaotian also understood,
The so-called Huancai Pavilion is just a cover. These women are not easy to mess with, so it is best to stay away from them.
After receiving Xiangqin's clear reply, Hu Xiaotian did not stay long and went directly back to Wanfu to report to King Zhou. He was delayed for an hour.
When he came out of Wanfu again, Xu An was waiting for him outside the gate of Wanfu. He only said that the county magistrate Xu Qinglian had important matters to discuss.
Hu Xiaotian just wanted to see Xu Qinglian's unlucky appearance today, so he went happily.
The meeting took place at Xu Qinglian's home, which meant that it was not an official meeting. Hu Xiaotian originally thought that there were other colleagues present, but when he arrived at the place, he realized that it was only Xu Qinglian himself.
Xu Qinglian's condition was just as embarrassing as Hu Xiaotian imagined. His ugly face was just one of the reasons. The scratches on his face were the marks his wife had left on him last night.
Hu Xiaotian pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, Mr. Xu, what's wrong with you? How did you become like this after not seeing me all night?"
Xu Qinglian hated this guy so much. But things were different now. After witnessing Hu Xiaotian's connections, he knew that he was no match for him. He coughed and said, "It was dark and the road was slippery. I accidentally fell."
Come on, Mr. Hu, please sit down quickly."
Hu Xiaotian sat down with a smile, took the tea from Xu An, and took a leisurely sip of tea: "Why did Master Xu come to me so early?"
Xu Qinglian said: "The thousand-year-old King of Zhou is here. We, the local officials, should express our gratitude in order to avoid giving the impression that Chitose is being treated lightly. Therefore, I specially invite you to come over and discuss how we should receive His Highness during his stay." Xu Qinglian said.
What he said was very sincere, the situation was pressing, and he couldn't do any tricks in the current situation.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Master Xu is the one who makes the decision, and I will all obey your orders."
Xu Qinglian said: "Master Hu is so familiar with the King of Zhou, so he must understand His Highness's preferences. I think Master Hu needs to come forward to receive the thousand-year-old King of Zhou."
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "Although I know King Zhou's preferences, I can't help him much."
Xu Qinglian moved closer to Hu Xiaotian, looking quite concerned.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Actually, you also understand. It's just that Miss Xiyan doesn't give face to King Zhou."
Xu Qinglian understood immediately after hearing these words. Thinking of King Zhou's performance at the charity sale last night, he obviously fell in love with the woman named Xi Yan, Xu Qinglian's mind couldn't help but start to move.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I have to go. Something happened at home, and I haven't the time to go back."
Xu Qinglian asked deliberately: "What happened at home?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's a small matter, there was a thief last night."
Xu Qinglian made a somewhat exaggerated noise and asked, "Is the loss serious?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "The loss is not big. I lost a few pieces of clothes and a few taels of silver. By the way, I raised a lot of money for charity last night. It is more than enough to repair the Qingyun Bridge. I want to wait for the money."
After everyone has arrived, we will immediately start building the bridge. What do you think, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Qinglian said: "Since the matter of Qingyun Bridge has been entrusted to you, you have full authority to make the decision."
The conversation between the two people today can be regarded as unprecedentedly harmonious, but behind the harmony, they are always testing each other.
When Hu Xiaotian left the county government office, he heard the sound of crying, but saw Li Guangsheng, the widower, walking over with a young man. Hu Xiaotian saw clearly that the young man was Fan Tong, a clerk from Yizhuang. Hu Xiaotian blocked their way:
"Hey, Fan Tong, why are you crying?"
When Fan Tong saw Hu Xiaotian, he quickly wiped away his tears, sniffed and said, "Master Hu, our shopkeeper died suddenly."
Hu Xiaotian was startled when he heard this. He had met Zhu Yannian, the boss of Yizhuang, once. Two days ago, he and Qin Yutong went there to do an autopsy. Zhu Yannian was always with him. He didn't expect that he would die today: "When did it happen?"
?”
Li Guangsheng replied: "Sir, what happened last night, I have gone over to inspect the body this morning. It should be a sudden illness, there are no wounds on the body."
Fan Tong said with tears: "The shopkeeper has always been in good health. I have never heard that he is sick."
Li Guangsheng seemed a little unhappy when he heard this, and sighed: "I can't be mistaken, there are no scars from head to toe."
Hu Xiaotian was very doubtful about the professionalism of this widower, but he didn't say much, comforting Fan Tongtong: "Now that things have happened, don't be too sad. Go to the Yamen first and make arrangements for the funeral as soon as possible."
Bar."
Fan Tong nodded with tears in his eyes.
Hu Xiaotian returned to his residence in Sande Lane and found that Murong Feiyan was not at home and the yard was empty. He originally wanted to come back and have a bowl of hot noodle soup to eat, but now it seems that he can only continue to be hungry. Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but think of
The good thing about Liang Dazhuang is that if this guy were still here, even though he was a bit poor-mouthed, his daily life would at least be properly arranged so that he wouldn't go hungry.
Hu Xiaotian was about to go out for dinner when he heard a familiar voice coming from outside: "Is Mr. Hu at home?" But it was the governor of the West, Zhang Ziqian, who arrived.
Hu Xiaotian hurriedly went out to greet him, only to see Zhang Ziqian walking out of a dark blue soft sedan. Hu Xiaotian hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Students didn't know that Mr. Zhang is here. I apologize for being a little far away from you."
Zhang Ziqian stroked his beard and laughed, holding Hu Xiaotian's arm affectionately and saying, "Brother Hu, why do you have to be so polite to me?"
Hu Xiaotian invited him into the room.
Zhang Ziqian paid close attention to the place where Hu Xiaotian lived. The two came to the main room and sat down. Hu Xiaotian went to pour him tea. Only then did he realize that there was no hot water in the house and there was no fire on the stove. It was probably too late to boil water temporarily. Since Liang Dazhuang returned,
After Jing sent the letter, the family was temporarily left without anyone to take care of it. Hu Xiaotian was busy with official duties, and Murong Feiyan was also a strong woman. Although she was good at cooking, she was obviously not one who could stay at home and do housework.
kind.
Zhang Ziqian told Hu Xiaotian not to be polite.
Hu Xiaotian returned to him and said with a smile: "Don't blame me, sir. I have been busy with charity sales these past two days, and I accompanied King Zhou to Wanfu last night, so the house is in a mess. It's really rude."
Zhang Ziqian smiled and said: "Brother Hu, His Royal Highness the King of Zhou has made a special trip to Qingyun to see you. You should accompany him."
Hu Xiaotian heard that there was something in Zhang Ziqian's words, he shook his head and said: "Master Zhang misunderstood, this is the first time that His Highness King Zhou and I have met." Although he knew that others might not believe his explanation, he still had to say what should be said.
Zhang Ziqian said: "Brother Hu, you don't need to explain to me. I know what should be said and what shouldn't be said."
Hu Xiaozhen was a little dumbfounded. He sighed and said, "Master Zhang, King Zhou and I are strangers. I don't know why he came, just like I don't know that you will come to support me in person."
Zhang Ziqian said: "My ancestral home is Qingyun, and I have an old house in Changsheng Lane. Speaking of which, we are destined to be together. I was fishing in Tongji River that day, and I happened to meet you when you came to Qingyun to take office. We hit it off and became friends because of our connection.
.Brother Hu’s talent makes me sincerely convinced. If you have something to do, I will support you."
Hu Xiaotian heard that he was still making twists and turns with him. This old fox, why don't you just tell him that you were sent by Li Tianheng to do espionage work? Why do you make so many twists and turns? Do you really think I'm so easy to deceive? (Unfinished)
