Seeing Xiangxue still sleeping, Xie Fangbai felt very accomplished.
He was already over forty, and he didn't expect to be so capable.
Under the maid's service, he quickly got dressed.
Just as he was about to leave, he couldn't help but look back at this beautiful little lady.
When he turned around, he saw that this beautiful young lady was still sleeping. He couldn't help but kiss Xiangxue before leaving.
It wasn't until Xie Fangbai's footsteps could no longer be heard that Xiangxue got up to dress up.
In fact, Xiangxue had already woken up, but she didn't dare to open her eyes.
If she wakes up before Xie Fangbai wakes up, wouldn't it appear that Xie Fangbai is incompetent?
How to make the guests feel the maximum happiness, how to make the customers feel the maximum satisfaction, this is the basic rule of their survival.
Of course, there is a principle to this. The premise is that you must have money and be willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy a smile.
Isn't it? There is an unexpected harvest at Xiangxue's bedside.
"Little lady, there are always copper coins on the bedside." Chunjuan, a twelve-year-old maid, was cleaning up the bedside and was surprised to find it.
Xiangxue took the copper coin from Chunjuan and was moved to tears.
This was Xie Fangbai's tip for her, and she didn't need to hand it over to the madam.
Xiangxue kissed the copper coin, which was still warm, and murmured: "Finally, someone rewarded it."
"My little lady's efforts have indeed been in vain. I didn't expect that in less than a month, my little lady would become famous." Chunjuan wiped her tears and said happily.
Xiangxue shook her head, feeling deeply in her heart: "The slaves can only play the piano, but they don't know how to play chess, calligraphy, painting and wine. Without the Little Saint's "Between Mountains and Rivers", where would I be hiding in the corner crying now?"
"Of course you have to thank the little saint, and the ladies and sisters have also paid a lot." Chunjuan still helped her master to speak.
Xiangxue flicked Chunjuan's forehead with her finger and said angrily, "You are the only one who talks too much."
Chunjuan stuck out her pink tongue, respectfully took out Zhao Ping's tablet from a corner and placed it in front of Xiangxue.
After Xiangxue finished washing, she respectfully lit two incense sticks and a candle.
She clasped her hands together, knelt down with her legs, closed her eyes and muttered words to Zhao Ping's memorial tablet.
Seeing how pious Xiangxue was, Chunjuan also imitated Xiangxue, knelt down with her legs, clasped her hands together, and muttered the same words.
"Looking at your good performance today, your share of the reward cannot be missing." After saying that, Xiangxue took a hundred coins from her usual copper coin and gave it to Chunjuan.
Chunjuan couldn't help but be overjoyed. Her master had a way out, and so did she.
However, she felt that she was getting the master's reward for nothing, so she had to show her presence: "Little lady, "Between Mountains and Rivers" needs to be deepened. Also, I will give you the music scores of "The Flower Burial" and "Shepherd's Song" found it."
After saying that, she took out two music scores from her sleeves and handed them to Xiangxue respectfully.
"Who is the master?" Xiangxue glared at her openly, and said angrily, "You behave like this, but you seem to be the master. Instead, I became your slave."
"Little lady, I'm doing this for your own good. You don't know, it took a lot of effort for me to secretly copy these music scores. My hands hurt from copying them." Chunjuan felt that she had been wronged so much that she pouted. He kept rubbing his wrists.
Xiangxue pointed her forehead with her finger and said angrily: "Since ancient times, I hope my husband will become a dragon, and I hope my son will become a dragon, but I have never heard of hoping that my husband will become a phoenix?"
"Why don't you hope that the Lord will become a phoenix? It has been around since ancient times." Chunjuan hurriedly retorted after hearing this.
Xiangxue Liu frowned and said angrily: "It has happened since ancient times. Then give me an example."
"This slave has little experience, so naturally I can't give examples." Chunjuan grimaced and almost cried.
Xiangxue smiled slightly and tapped Chunjuan's forehead with her finger: "Since you can't tell me, you lose."
"Yes," Chunjuan clapped her little hands and said, "Didn't Li Qingzhao say in his words that the person behind the curtain is still the same? Isn't this the slave asking the master to become a phoenix?" "This only expresses the relationship between master and servant. , how can I hope that the master will become a phoenix and explain it." Seeing Chunjuan's face changed drastically, Xiangxue tapped Chunjuan's forehead again, "Chunjuan, tell the truth, if you hope that the master will become a phoenix, are you thinking about the reward?"
"Little lady, don't touch this slave's forehead. If you touch your forehead any more, I will be unwise." Chunjuan said with a grimace, while dodging, "Of course I hope that this little lady's status will be higher and higher, and the more rewards, the better."
"I thought you didn't want the reward, but I didn't expect that the fox's tail was exposed in the end." She pointed at Chunjuan, "Go and call Xiangqin."
"Why did you call Xiangqin here?" Chunjuan did not avoid Xiangxue's finger, so she could only ask with a wry smile.
Xiangxue clicked Chunjuan's forehead again and said angrily, "You've really become stupid. Don't you want to get more rewards? Ask Xiangqin to come over and practice the piano."
As for Xiangxue and Xiangqin practicing the piano, Xie Fangbai no longer pays attention to this.
What he is focusing on now is why do his men want to disturb his erotic dream?
Foreman Xie Zhiyong saw Xie Fangbai coming down from the brothel angrily and knew that he had disturbed his master's sweet dream.
To be honest, Xie Fangbai was pretty good to him and gave him Guan Huizi to control freely.
Although Yiguan Huizi may not seem like much, the new magistrate of Lingquan County, Xu Yue, has raided almost every household, which should be considered a huge sum of money.
Now that he had this knowledge, he thought about how to use it.
He is young, only in his twenties. Although he has a family, he cannot go home now.
This is the age when women are needed, not to mention he knows why the shopkeeper wants to go to a brothel.
He was just a little foreman, and he didn't dare to go to a brothel or a brothel at all.
After much deliberation, he finally found a prostitute standing on the street.
In a dark little room, Xie Zhiyong spent fifty coins and was happy for half an hour.
He felt that this half hour was too short, because after half an hour, he had to leave this small room.
The romantic woman did not stay with him, but continued to do her business.
Xie Zhiyong took advantage of the moonlight and returned to the small wooden house at the construction site two or three miles away from the county seat.
This is my own house, of course it doesn't cost anything. I was exhausted from the strenuous exercise just now, so I fell down and fell asleep.
Bang bang, bang bang, Xie Zhi was woken up by this sound while sleeping.
"Aren't you going back to take a bath today? Why are there still people working here?" Thinking that today was a bathing day, he simply covered his head with the quilt and fell asleep.
Bang bang, bang bang, that sound seemed to be difficult for him to deal with.
He had no choice but to put on his clothes and when he came out, he was stunned.
Thinking of Xie Fangbai still in Yuchun brothel, he ran to the county seat hungry.
He ate a random breakfast and hurried to the brothel before he could wipe his mouth.
At this time, Xie Zhiyong saw his master rushing down angrily, and hurriedly shouted: "Barbarians, barbarians."
"What, the barbarians are calling? Wasn't that Zhu Ping sent to Xi County? How come the barbarians came in so quickly?" Xie Fangbai was shocked when he heard the word "barbarians", "Horses, where are the horses?" ?”
The Hu people have already invaded Lingquan County. If they don't run away, they will be beheaded by the Hu people.
"Shopkeeper, the barbarians did not attack the county seat, they are still at the construction site." Knowing the shopkeeper's misunderstanding, Xie Zhiyong said hurriedly.
Xie Fangbai stretched out his right hand and wanted to slap the other person.
You didn't explain it clearly, which made me look embarrassed.
He just raised his hand and saw that the other party's clothes were disheveled and his face was not washed. He was obviously very loyal to him.
Thinking of this, he sighed inwardly and helped Xie Zhiyong tidy up his clothes.
He had just helped the other party organize his clothes when he suddenly felt something was wrong: "Have the barbarians attacked the construction site?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble all over, and even his teeth kept tapping up and down.
"Shopkeeper, the barbarians are at the construction site, but they don't have weapons." Xie Zhiyong felt a little confused, "They seem to be prying the track."
"What, the Hu people actually pried the tracks. Why did they want to pry the tracks?"
At this time, the brothel nurse brought Xie Fangbai's horse.
Xie Fangbai immediately got on his horse, beat the horse severely, and ran towards the construction site outside the city.
The construction site is not far away, only two or three miles away from the county seat, and we will arrive soon.
Ding Dang Dang Dang, sure enough, I saw at least a thousand people standing on the construction site in front of me.
They held shovels, hoes, and wooden sticks in their hands, and they began to pry toward the wooden track.
Xie Fangbai looked at this group of people, then looked back at Xie Zhiyong and asked with a frown: "Can you confirm that they are barbarians?"
"Tell the shopkeeper, please take a closer look. They should not be Han Chinese, most of them have wide faces and small eyes." Xie Zhiyong pointed at a group of people working enthusiastically in front of him and said, "The key thing is that they have very little hair on the front half of their heads. It wouldn’t be strange if a person did this occasionally, but these people are all like this, they are obviously a bunch of bastards.”
"It makes sense. Although they are not as barbaric as before with the front half of their heads shaved, they are obviously growing their hair. It's strange, why do they grow their hair again, and why are they here again?" Xie Fangbai looked at it and turned to Xie Fangbai. Zhiyong asked.
Xie Zhiyong shook his head: "This villain doesn't know."
"Why don't these barbarians run away and still behave obediently?" Xie Fangbai himself didn't know the answer, how could Xie Zhiyong know the answer.
Bang bang, bang bang, the sound of a riding whip suddenly came over, making Xie Fangbai and Xie Zhiyong couldn't help but look towards the sound of the riding whip.
I saw a Hu man's hands and feet slowly being whipped with a horse whip in the hand of another Hu man.
The foreign foreman not only beat the foreigner, but also spoke some gibbering language that Xie Zhiyong could not understand.
Although Xie Zhiyong couldn't understand it, Xie Fangbai could hear it.
Xie Fangbai has been doing business inside and outside the Song Dynasty for a long time, so he must be able to speak Hu.
He could hear clearly now that this was authentic Hu language.
It turned out that the Hu man who was holding a riding whip in his hand was beating the Hu man who was not moving quickly with the riding whip and scolding him for not being a warrior.
Xie Fangbai couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He was working on a construction site, but he was also a warrior.
Maybe the language of the Hu people is too simple and does not have as many words as the Chinese language. These are the words that are repeated over and over again.
After hearing this, he was finally completely sure that these people were barbarians, but why did they come here to disturb his own track.
He wanted to step forward and ask clearly, but when he thought that this was a barbarian, he finally suppressed his thoughts.
Although he didn't want to talk to the other party, the Hu foreman saw him.
The Hu foreman saw that Xie Fangbai was a little afraid and knew that he was afraid of him.
He hurriedly tied the riding crop to himself and came to Xie Fangbai and the others.
He looked at the two of them and saw that Xie Zhiyong was wearing the same linen short-sleeved shirt as him, while Xie Fangbai was wearing the clothes of a member of staff. Obviously Xie Fangbai was in charge.
The foreign foreman saluted Xie Fangbai, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.
Seeing the other person's full mouth of yellow teeth and the foul smell coming from his mouth, Xie Fangbai almost vomited out last night's meal.
But the other party was a barbarian, and he bowed his hand again, so he had to suffer from severe stomach discomfort and hastily return the salute.
The foreign foreman asked in impure Chinese: "May I ask if the official is the shopkeeper here?"
"I am the shopkeeper here. May I ask who the military master is?" Xie Fangbai suppressed the discomfort in his heart and asked with a bow.
The foreign foreman bowed his hands again and said, "I'm Zhao Yiping, no, you can't call me this name. I'm Zhao Yibao, I'm the tenth commander of this construction site for the time being."
"What, the military master's surname is Zhao, and he is the tenth commander here?" Hearing that the other party, an authentic Zong Hu man, was actually surnamed Zhao, and even changed his name again and again, Xie Fangbai felt that his mind was completely confused. .
