I don’t know how she feels when she finds out that it was actually Xie Fu who gave her the drug Feng Ru.
"Xia'er, although you are a maid in name, I have always treated you as a younger sister."
"I know, miss."
Tantai Heqing reached out and caressed Xia'er's smooth face, and said with emotion: "Unknowingly, you are a beautiful little lady. It's time to find a good family for you, but I won't give you up."
Xia'er said hurriedly: "No! Miss, I won't get married. I want to stay by your side and take care of you all my life."
"A woman alone is..." Tantai Heqing suddenly stopped, laughed at himself, and changed his words: "Fool."
"Miss... I really don't want to get married, I..."
Tantai Heqing interrupted, "Okay, why are you nervous? I'm not going to marry you off right away."
Xia'er gritted her teeth and said, "Anyway, this Tantai Mansion is my forever home, and I won't go anywhere!"
The girl was not admitted to the university, and when the day came that she couldn't stay even if she wanted to, Tantai Heqing changed the topic and said: "Xia'er, I'm going to Jinling tomorrow. It may take some days to come back."
"Miss, you are going on a long trip again."
Tantai Heqing said directly: "Go and call Butler Kong here now. I have something to tell him."
…
While having dinner together, Fu Xie noticed that Xia'er was unhappy and asked, "Sister Xia'er, what's wrong?"
Xia'er sighed "Alas".
Xie Fu smiled and said: "The food is not delicious, how about I cook it myself now and make it again for you."
"No, it's about the young master."
"What's wrong, Master?"
Xia'er told the story about how Tantai Wenwang made her husband angry again, which made the young lady upset and angry.
Xie Fu said with a smile: "Listen to what you said, Mr. Tantai is very naughty. He also visits brothels and beats Mr. when he is angry. But why are you sighing? Mr. Tantai did not provoke you."
Xia'er's pretty face tightened, "He dares! I won't be polite to him!"
Xie Fu laughed loudly: "How dare you hit him?"
Xia'er calmly said, "I'd love to find a chance to beat him, and I'm not afraid of him either."
Xie Fu smiled and said: "This is easy."
Xia Er said: "You said, I just want to vent my anger on the young lady."
Xie Lu smiled and said: "Beauty trap."
Xia'er looked confused and heard Xie Fu laugh and say: "You seduced him, I don't believe he won't take the bait!"
Xia'er was very annoyed: "Are you asking for a beating?" After saying that, he raised his hand to be beaten.
Xie Fu said hurriedly: "Begging for mercy, begging for mercy."
Xia'er didn't really make a move, and snorted, "I'm in a bad mood, and you still come to entertain me."
Xie Fu smiled and said, "I don't want to make you happy."
"I'm even more angry."
"Okay, don't worry about it."
"As a servant, how can I not worry about the lady?"
Xie Fu was speechless and changed the subject, "Sister Xia'er, how about I accompany you for a walk on the street."
Xia Er glanced at Xie Fu and asked tentatively: "You want to go out, right?"
Xie Fu smiled, neither admitting nor denying.
Xia'er smiled and said, "I don't have that much power, but... I can help you fight for it from Miss."
Xie Fu said: "Forget it."
Xia Er pursed her lips and smiled, "You are a coward, you are afraid of getting a stick on your butt."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "If you are still taking care of me, Sister Xia'er, it doesn't matter if you get a beating."
Xia'er's smile disappeared after hearing this, and she said softly: "Mr. Xie, I think you are almost in good health, and I will almost go back to the inner house."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "I don't want to let Sister Xia'er go. I wish I would be sick for a few more days."
Xia Er said: "What nonsense are you talking about? You can't joke about your body."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "That's weird, Sister Xia'er takes good care of me."
Xia Er smiled: "You even called me a contradiction."
While chatting, Xia'er gradually became cheerful...
Xia Er took care of Xie Fu for two more days. Seeing that Xie Fu was alive and kicking, she planned to go back to the inner house.
Before leaving, Xia'er could see that she was a little bit reluctant to leave, but she didn't say anything.
Tantai Heqing has traveled far away, and Master Xie is now completely free, concentrating on practicing the "Taiyi Jinhua Heart Method" taught by his master.
It's just that I still can't reach the most basic threshold for joining the martial arts - returning to the light.
This martial art is indeed the way of natural selection, and his [talented person]'s talent is too poor.
The road to martial arts is getting farther and farther, let alone [entering the Tao], even [entering the rank] is still far away.
In this way, if you want to avenge your master, you will be hopeless for the rest of your life.
Xie Fu didn't know where to go and seemed a little confused.
But in my heart, I secretly warned myself not to be impatient. Just like reading, being calm can sometimes be rewarding.
…
Night falls, the moon and stars are scarce.
Xie Fu and Hu Diquan sat on the tiles on the roof, looking down at the streets and alleys of Qili Shantang.
The brothel is lit up with red lights, there are carriages, horses and water dragons, and the flow of passengers is like clouds. Boats and boats are intertwined on the Qili Shantang River. The fragrance of flowers and lights, the sound of laughter and joy, and the sound of reeds and reeds are coming, which attracts people's hearts.
Hu Diquan smiled and said: "Thank you, Fu, isn't Qili Shantang Street lively and prosperous?"
Xie Fu responded with emotion: "It's bustling and prosperous, and it's not as famous as seeing it. Suzhou is indeed the most prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River. Seeing the lights and the colorful lights, listening to the soft words and laughter, people can't help but want to call out "Where is my wife?" .”
After Xie Fu finished speaking, he laughed, but felt inexplicably sad in his heart.
The more prosperous and lively the place is, the more clear a person's heart becomes, as if it has been washed, and what he desires most is clearly visible.
He wanted to have a warm home in Suzhou and have a warm relative like his master, but this desire was as far away as the bright moon in the sky.
Hu Diquan also laughed loudly, imitating Xie Fu and shouted: "Where is my wife?"
The two of them looked at this prosperous scene, and Hu Diquan said softly: "This Qili Shantang Street used to be much more lively than it does now."
Xie Fu let out a sigh when he heard this.
In Qili Shantang Street, Suzhou, Xie Fu had heard of his name before arriving in Suzhou and had admired him for a long time.
In the past, there was no land route from Suzhou City to Huqiu. People who visited Huqiu had to take a boat at Lumen Wharf via Shantang River to reach Huqiu.
Until Bai Gong came to Suzhou, he was the governor of Suzhou. He saw that the Shantang River had been silted up for a long time and the water flow was not smooth, causing flooding in spring and summer. Bai Gong decided to dredge the Shantang River. He mobilized migrant workers to clear out the silt and drain the waterlogging, and used digging in the river to The raised soil was used to expand the embankment, plant willows and bamboos on the embankment, and build a land road for carriages and horses to travel. Because the road is seven miles long, it was named Qili Shantang, also called Baigong Embankment.
The scenery along the embankment of Qili Shantang is beautiful, the river breeze is pleasant, literati, dignitaries and dignitaries have settled here one after another. Common people and merchants followed suit. Gradually, Qili Shantang has many signboards, as bright as clothes, merchants gather, and tourists like Weaving has become today's Qili Shantang Street.
"Diquan, why do you say that?"
Hu Diquan smiled and said: "The most popular one now is Qixiangjiufang."
"Seven lanes and nine lanes?" Xie Fu thought he was familiar with "Suzhou Chronicles" and was very familiar with the city of Suzhou, but he had never heard of "seven lanes and nine lanes".
Hu Diquan said with a proud smile: "Thank you, Fu, then you really should go to Qixiangjiufang to take a look."
Xie Fu said with great anticipation: "Tell me where these seven lanes and nine lanes are?"
