Wanqingsi

Chapter 101 Love
This Fu Dakang turned out to be the small opening of the well-known "Fu Lu" jewelry and gold shop in Cangdu. The rich family's jewelry business has grown enormously, with branches all over the country, and business contacts with countries around Tianzhao Kingdom.Mr. Fu married one wife and four concubines, and had eight children, but only a man like Fu Dakang, who was born in the royal family, was naturally pampered with lawlessness. So, let this rich young master get all the habits of a dude.But based on my observations tonight, although this rich young master is ignorant, likes to eat, drink and have fun, and is happy to be flattered by others, he is quite honest and upright. Not all dudes can give me 4000 taels for the first time From the stranger I met, it seems that as long as he is happy, he can do anything.

I won 4000 taels of silver from Fu Dakang, so I naturally didn't want to leave immediately, so I learned more about the rules of previous years' poetry competitions, the content of the questions, the famous poems that won the first prize in the past, etc. until late at night.Fu Dakang and his entourage staggered out of Fengyue Tower, Fu Dakang took my hand affectionately and said: "Brother Ye Xian, Brother Yu, I am so happy to meet you as a good brother today. Why don't you go to live with Brother Yu's house?" One night, we two brothers will hold a candle night talk, how about going back tomorrow?"

to live at your house?I'm not that bold.What if you find out that I am a woman?Also, with this huge sum of money, what if you go back on your word?I hastily declined and said: "Brother Fu is too polite. I didn't inform my family when I went out. If I don't return overnight, my family will worry. I still don't want to bother you at home."

"That's right, it's not good to make your family worry." Fu Dakang didn't insist, and said with a smile, "Where is Brother Ye Xian's home? I will send you back home?"

"Don't dare to be rich and run around, my little brother lives far away, and his home is in the outskirts of the city." I suddenly remembered that the gate of the city has been closed, I am afraid I can't leave the city, it seems that I have to find an inn to stay overnight.

"It's late at night, I'm afraid it's not safe for my brother to go back alone. What's more, now that the city gate is closed, my brother won't let me see you off, so I can't leave the city!" Fu Dakang said with concern. I'm afraid you want to find out where I live?After all, this Fu Dakang is still a son of a businessman. Even if he doesn't know the sufferings of the world, he probably knows how to calculate. He took 4000 taels of silver for nothing and gave it to a stranger like me. Of course, he was afraid that I would run away.

This is not easy to push, I said with a smile: "The younger brother is afraid that the rich brother will be too tired to go back and forth, and the rich brother is so worried about the younger brother. The younger brother is really moved, and the kindness is hard to escape."

It's not bad for a rich young master to be a bodyguard. With such a large sum of money, I'm afraid that something will happen on the way.The rich and the young really had some contacts, when they got to the base of the wall, the attendants reported his name, and the city gate was actually opened for him.He sent me back to the old Futou's house, met me at the poetry competition two days later, and then returned by car.

Xiaohong didn't have a chance to speak all night, and when she saw Fu Dakang getting into the car and leaving, she hugged me tightly, she was so excited that she shed tears before saying a word: "Girl..."

"Okay, okay, it's all right..." I patted her on the shoulder and chuckled, "Go inside, it's cold outside."

"Xiaohong is happy in her heart." She raised her head shyly and wiped her eyes, "I knew that girl would definitely find a way, girl is the most capable person Xiaohong has ever met..."

Hehe, everyone likes to listen to these words.But she didn't know that I was stimulated. I worked desperately to earn a little money, thinking that my life was much better than that of ordinary people, but I didn't expect that people would take out the astronomical debts I felt.It seems that I still don't know how rich the real super rich are.If one day I can hand out 4000 taels like Fu Dakang, how much money will I have behind me?After such a calculation and comparison, I was suddenly very frustrated.

Grandpa Fu really missed the door. Little Xiangzi was waiting for the door. Seeing us coming back, Grandpa Fu put on a coat and came out of the house. I hurriedly helped him into the house and complained: "Grandpa is really too late to wait. What am I doing?"

"You are a girl who doesn't come back in the middle of the night, how can I rest assured." Grandpa Fu smiled kindly. My heart felt hot. Grandpa Fu really hurt me as if he were his own granddaughter. He was going to sell the debt he owed before. Lost a few ancestral houses to pay my debts, but I tried my best to stop them. Those ancestral houses are the source of life for Grandpa Fu. Without the ancestral property, it would be a problem for him and Xiao Xiangzi to eat, not to mention that even if he sold the ancestral property, it would not be solved. pay off my debts.I reassured him that I would be able to raise the money within the deadline, so he reluctantly mentioned it, but I knew it must be on his mind.When I told him the good news of raising the money at the first time, Grandpa Fu didn't believe it at first, until I handed the banknote to him, his face showed joy, and sighed: "It's really like a dream."

It's not like a dream, I still can't believe that I have encountered such a good thing, looking at those white banknotes that are actually pinched in my hand, I can't help but grin Smiling, tossing and tossing all night, he was sleepless, and his spirit was surprisingly excited. Seeing that the sky was a little pale, he simply got up to wash and wash. stand.

When I arrived at the small courtyard of Mrs. An's house, I opened the door and entered. Mrs. An was feeding the chickens in the yard. When she saw me coming in, she smiled faintly: "Miss Ye is here."

"Ma'am, is Yuan Xi still up?" I smiled and took the feed bowl in her hand, "I'll do it."

She didn't refuse, and let me take the chicken food, and said softly: "Yuanxi went to help someone copy books, and said she wouldn't come back for two days."

"Eh?" An Yuanxi was not at home, I was startled, "Why don't you copy books at home?"

"It's an isolated copy over there. I don't worry about letting Yuanxi bring it back, so I can only keep it at the house and copy it." Mrs. An patted the feed powder on her hand, went to the big vat in the corner of the yard, scooped water, and poured it into it. Wash your hands in the basin next to you, with gentle movements.Looking at her actions, I felt a little strange in my heart. This Mrs. An's speech, behavior, and every move didn't look like a vulgar village woman.She should have been extremely beautiful when she was young, otherwise she would not have given birth to such a beautiful son as An Yuanxi, but years of hard work have worn away her beauty, leaving her hair full of hair and wrinkles on her face.

After washing her hands, she raised her eyes and saw me looking at her, and smiled: "Miss Ye, I'm going to make breakfast, do you want to eat here?"

"Okay, let me help you." I sprinkled a few handfuls of chicken food, and let the chickens rush to grab it.Mrs. An smiled and said: "No need, I can do it alone, please help me wake An Sheng up." She said, pointing to the wing on the right.

"The kid hasn't woken up yet?" I put down the feed basin and pushed the door open.This should be An Yuanxi's room, because there are two beds in the room. The big bed is close to the right wall, and the small bed is vertically against the end of the bed. An Sheng is lying on the small bed.I walked over with a smile, and saw An Sheng sleeping on the bed with his eyes closed, his hair messily covering his face, his mouth pouted, a string of glistening saliva dripping on the pillow, and a small piece of it was wet on the pillow. .

"Slacker, get up!" I pinched his pink cheeks, and An Sheng pursed his lips, still sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, looking extremely cute.I became playful, twisted a strand of hair, and brushed his face with the end of the hair. He shrugged his nose and waved his hand impatiently. Still awake?I continued to tease him amusedly, and he waved his hands a few times, finally sneezed from the itching, and opened his eyes in a daze.

"Big slacker, get up quickly, the sun is drying his ass!" I smiled and lifted his quilt, startled, and laughed with a "puchi", this brat actually only wore a bellyband and his butt was bare.I patted his butt and said with a smile: "Little brat, people have seen all the balls of his ass, I'm ashamed to death!"

He woke up, pulled the quilt over his body, blushed like an apple: "Sister Ye, I hate it..."

"Get up!" I smiled and pinched his face, um, it feels so good.He moved uncomfortably under the blanket, and murmured: "Got it, sister goes out first..."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I won't go out!" I teased him, but he yelled shyly and angrily, and buried his face in the quilt: "Sister Ye!"

"Come on, I don't want to look at you, okay? I'll turn my back, don't you suffocate in bed." I smiled, stood up, and looked at An Yuanxi's room. The opposite wall was a wardrobe. There is a desk by the window, and there is a bookshelf next to it. I walked over, picked up a book and flipped through it. I saw An Yuanxi’s densely written notes on the book. I looked carefully, and it was all his experience in reading books. This nerd is quite good at reading books. seriously.I smiled, looking at this ancient book is really tiring, vertical typesetting, no punctuation, I have to figure out the sentences by myself.I flipped through it at random, then lost interest and put it back on the shelf.

My eyes fell on the desk, and I saw a half-opened scroll on the table, I opened it curiously, and was startled, it was a pasted painting, which was actually given to me when my angry nerd ignored me that day. The tortoise portrait he drew has a big cartoon head and a small tortoise shell body on its back. What's more, he didn't expect that he actually took it to mount it. When the master who mounted the painting saw it, he didn't know how he would laugh. Fortunately, he dared to take it out.

In the lower left corner of the painting, there are a few words inscribed. When I looked carefully, it seemed to be a poem, "If you don't want to be drunk, you will worry about the guest, but if you want to be idle, who will the chrysanthemum be with?"My heart trembled, as if I was peeping at someone else's secret, I quickly rolled up the painting and put it back on the table, feeling a little at a loss.My heart jumped up, this nerd, what are you doing on this painting, I stared blankly at the scroll on the table, nerd...

"Sister Ye?" An Sheng called me from behind, I quickly turned my head and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"Why are you in a daze?" He had already put on his clothes and got out of bed, and the bed was also made up.I rubbed his hair and concealed it: "It's nothing, go and wash it."

He obediently responded and went out. I took a look at the scroll and hurriedly followed. I just stepped out of the door and happened to see An Yuanxi stepping into the courtyard door. An Sheng rushed in front of him: "My lord, you are back? No? Did you say you won’t be able to come back in two days? What, you finished copying the book?”

"En." He responded lightly, raised his eyes to see me, and was startled, "You're here."

"Yeah." I walked over, "I have something to ask you."

His expression was very tired, his eyes were obviously bloodshot, and there was a trace of depression in his eyes.It seems that these days are my debts, nerds are really exhausting.My heart suddenly became soft and soft: "Thank you for your hard work..."

There was a wry smile on the corner of his lips: "I can't help you..."

"Who said that, you have helped me a lot, I know in my heart..." My mouth became stupid for some reason, An Yuanxi, what should I do if you treat me like this?He lowered his head in confusion, his eyes fell on the sleeve of his right hand, he was startled, there was a big hole in the sleeve, it seemed to be burned, I said in surprise: "Your..."

Before he finished speaking, he immediately said: "Come in if you have anything to say." As he said that, he went straight into the room, and I was suspicious. Seeing him like this, I knew he didn't want to be known, so I hurriedly said to An Sheng: "An Sheng, Go wash up now."

I dismissed An Sheng, and I followed into the house. At this moment, he had already changed out of his torn coat, and he was wearing another dress. He was buttoning the cloth button of the skirt. His gestures were strange, and he seemed to be unable to use his right hand. I walked over in surprise: "What's wrong with your hand?"

"It's nothing." He said quickly, hiding his right hand behind him.Originally, I was just asking casually, seeing that he looked so weird, it was strange that he was fine!I grabbed his right hand, but when I heard him gasp, I was even more suspicious, so I quickly opened his sleeve, and was surprised, only to see a large piece of red and swollen skin above his right wrist, accompanied by a large number of blisters. It seemed that I was burned by the fire, so I took a breath: "How did you get hurt?"

"Keep your voice down, don't let mother know." He hurried to close the door, and I followed behind him, "How did you get hurt like this?"

"It's just a small injury. I accidentally knocked over the candlestick when I was copying the book yesterday." He said lightly.I rolled up his sleeves and saw that some of the blisters had burst, with yellow liquid oozing out and sliding down his arms. I said anxiously, "Have you checked with the doctor?"

He was startled, and smiled awkwardly: "I forgot..."

"Forgot?" I was angry and anxious, "Don't you feel pain?"

"It's just a minor injury. There's Baiyao at home. It'll be up soon." Seeing my frown, he said with a smile, "Don't worry."

"How can such a large area be a small injury? It needs to be bandaged after applying Baiyao. Do you have a clean cloth at home? No, I'd better go to the medical clinic and ask the doctor to take a look. I'll accompany you..." I turned around and wanted to open the door, but was caught He grabbed it, and I turned around to see him looking at me quietly, his eyes were very bright, with a hint of joy that couldn't be concealed, "Are you so worried about me?"

I was stunned, my face turned red immediately, and I hurriedly said: "You are my friend, of course I am worried."

"Friend?" He let go of my hand and suppressed his joy, as if there was a slight sense of uneasiness coming up.I said with a guilty conscience, "Where is Baiyao? I'll help you."

"No need. I can do it myself." He said lightly.I turned my head and said angrily: "Why are you fighting? How can you use one hand? If Mrs. An finds out, let's see if she doesn't kill you!"

After hearing this, he didn't say anything, and took out the medicine from the cabinet and handed it to me.I took the medicine, uncorked the bottle, saw him still standing there, and complained: "What are you doing standing there, sit on the stool and stretch out your hands."

I took his right hand and carefully shook Baiyao onto his wound, his arm trembled slightly, I raised my eyes to look at him: "Does it hurt?"

"It's okay." He frowned.I rolled my eyes, it hurts if it hurts, what are you holding on to?I continued to lower my head to give him the medicine, stopped talking, and the room fell silent. I heard his slightly heavy breathing, hovering in front of me as if there was nothing, my hands trembled for some reason, and I adjusted my thoughts. After I finished applying the medicine, I raised my head and said, "The bandaging cloth has to be washed, boiled in boiling water, and then dried in the sun before it can be used. There is no way to leave this medicine open. Why don't you go to the medical center?"

"Hmm." He answered absently, "Didn't you ask me for something? What's the matter?"

Only then did I remember the purpose of coming to him, and said with a smile: "I have raised the money, and I can pay off the debt." Then, I took out the bank note from my pocket and handed it to him.

"Where did you get so much money?" An Yuanxi stared blankly at the bank note in his hand, frowning.

"Earned." I smiled.

"How did you make it?" An Yuanxi frowned even tighter, "You made so much money in one night?"

"Of course I earned it with my head." I said proudly, seeing that there was no joy on his face, I suppressed my madness angrily, "Are you unhappy? Are you worried that this money was stolen?"

"You're not that kind of person." His dark eyes were crystal clear.My heart skipped a beat, An Yuanxi, do you know what kind of person I am?Although the money was not stolen or snatched, in the final analysis it was obtained by speculation, so he couldn't help lowering his head and said in a low voice: "I didn't intend to hide it from you..." Then he told Fu Dakang about selling poems She told him that she only concealed the part about selling songs in the brothel, and only said that she met Fu Dakang outside the restaurant.An Yuanxi has done so many things for me, and as a respect for him, I shouldn't hide it from him, but because I was concerned about his attitude towards the women in the brothel, so as to avoid unnecessary complications, I omitted that paragraph.

"So, you're going to accompany that rich young master to the poetry competition?" An Yuanxi asked after listening to my explanation quietly.

"There's nothing I can do if I don't want to go. I'll use other people's money to eliminate disasters for others." I looked at him in a blink of an eye, saw his face was a little weird, thought for a while, understood, and said softly: "Are you blaming me for being rude? To get money Just help people do this kind of fraud?" I forgot his upright temper, this kind of behavior should be disdainful for him.

He didn't say a word, just looked at me quietly with deep eyes, his handsome face was very close, very close to me, so close that I could feel his fiery breath, my heart beat, and I couldn't help lowering my head , but he said softly: "Why should I blame you? Do you think that after so many things, I am still the stupid scholar who was ignorant of the world? I know that you are very smart, you are very strong, and you can always overcome difficulties. Find a way to solve it by yourself, but I also know how difficult it is for you, I just feel ashamed of being so incompetent as a man, and feel sorry for you..."

My body trembled slightly, and my heart seemed to be soaked in sour and sweet water. One part softened inch by inch, corroded inch by inch, and a small gap melted.An Yuanxi, don't say such things, so that I will like you, or I have already started to like you, when you are alone in danger for me, when you are walking on the grassland with me on your back, when you are for me When I was looking for healing herbs, when you lent me my shoulder to make me cry, when you copied books and sold paintings to raise money for me..., or I have already started to like you, but I am so cowardly , I am afraid of being hurt again, so I dare not own it easily.Because if you don't have it, you won't lose it, and you won't understand the pain of losing it.

But, but, why do you say such a thing?My body was soft, my heart was soft, and my emotions were also soft. I only heard him continue: "But..."

"But what?" I said softly.

"Although it is forced by the situation, this is still helping people to cheat. Don't do such a thing in the future..." The nerd is still a nerd, and the charming atmosphere was swept away. I raised my eyes angrily, and stared at him Said: "Go to the hospital!"
