Ye Yuiyi said thoughtfully: "The Lu clan and the Zhang clan have no interest in this bidding, but the four clans in Wuzhong are from the same family."
Ye Yui also knew that the three of them were together last night and should be considered good friends, but the word "good friends" was as thin as paper in the face of interests. She looked at Xie Fu lightly and asked: "Then do you think these two people are biased?" Do you prefer it, or do you prefer Zhu Clan?"
Although Xie Fu, Lu Wenlin, and Zhang Lingxiao had not known each other for a long time, they had a close friendship. Of course, they had special identities and had their own difficulties. He responded calmly: "I asked them to keep their mouths shut and not get involved in this matter. It shouldn't be difficult." Bar."
Ye Yui nodded: "It will be good for you to be close to the two of them, but it will be good for you to build momentum, but you must not reveal your intention to bid easily."
Xie Fu nodded and discussed the matter with Ye Yui in detail.
From Ye Yui's point of view, it is reasonable to worry about Xie Fu.
Xie Fu knew very well the details of his life. The royal family had put heavy treasures on him and had his own plans.
After chatting for an hour, Fu Xie left the restaurant, planning to clean up the vacant Xie Mansion and let the two sisters live in the restaurant with his entourage. It was not good to keep the two sisters living in the restaurant.
…
Over at Tantai Mansion, Tantai Heqing saw that Xie Fu had not come back all night. He was sitting in the flower hall sulking and muttering: "If you dare to stay out all night, come back and see if I skin you."
"If I smell a bit of womanly scent from you, I will castrate you right away..."
"It's so deceptive and lawless..."
While he was cursing, Xia'er walked in and said with a smile: "Miss, Miss Gu is here."
"welcome."
Tantai Heqing immediately stood up and planned to greet him in person. Gu Xianting had not been here for several days, which made people miss him.
As soon as I walked to the door of the flower hall, I saw Gu Xianting carrying a basket walking like a lotus flower, followed by Xiu'er.
Tantai Heqing quickly stepped forward and held Gu Xianting's hand affectionately: "Sister, you haven't been here for a few days. I miss you so much."
Gu Xianting said apologetically: "I also want to come over, but Mrs. Lu and the others are so tight that I can't get away."
Of course Gu Xianting wanted to come, her sweetheart was in Tantai Mansion.
The two girls entered the flower hall and sat down. Gu Xianting explained the purpose of their visit: "Sister He Qing, I heard that there were many strange phenomena in the river last night. Everyone said that the river god appeared, and they all went to the jade tower to worship, praying for good weather and peace for the family. I don’t know if you want to go with me.”
Tantai Heqing heard this and said happily: "Okay."
Jiangnan women have had the habit of worshiping the moon since they were young, so they are particularly passionate about these sacrifices.
Instruct Xia'er to prepare some offerings for worship, and take Xia'er to go to the jade tower head to worship.
As soon as I walked out of the inner house, I saw Butler Kong shouting from a distance: "Miss, it's not good, it's not good..."
Butler Kong ran up to Tantai Heqing, his face already covered in sweat and anxious.
Tantai Heqing had experienced the storm and responded calmly: "Miss, you are very good."
"no……"
Butler Kong took a breath and continued: "Last night, Mr. Xie spent 55,000 taels of silver in the finals of Qin Lou's flower contest to win the title of oiran from a brothel girl named Peony."
Fifty-five thousand taels. Speaking of this number, Butler Kong felt frightened and his legs became weak.
"What!"
Tantai Heqing almost shouted these two words, and then her pretty face began to twist, her whole body started to tremble, and she couldn't say a word.
With that look, you can completely feel the shock and anger in her heart.
Butler Kong was so shocked that he didn't even dare to fart.
Even Xiu'er was stunned when she heard the number fifty-five thousand taels.
Only Gu Xianting was a little calmer in the audience.
Tantai He calmly said angrily: "Does he have so much money?"
Steward Kong glanced at Tantai Heqing from the corner of his eye. Are you kidding? Mr. Xie can't even get out five hundred taels of silver, so of course you gave it to him.
Tantai Heqing said angrily: "I don't recognize him! I don't want him anymore."
Fifty-five thousand taels! Fifty-five thousand taels, it wouldn't hurt to cut a piece of flesh on her heart, just squander it in one night.
It's understandable if it's a business loss, but it's intolerable to use it to promote a brothel lady as an oiran!
Gu Xianting's eyes lit up and she thought to herself, Sister Tantai, if you don't recognize her, I will. I'll give you the fifty-five thousand taels.
He glanced at Tantai Heqing lightly and saw that she was furious. He also knew that he could not add fuel to the fire, so he said nicely: "Sister Heqing, please calm down and don't get angry."
"How can I appease my anger? Fifty-five thousand taels! Use it to make a brothel girl a courtesan. If it is my son, I will beat him to death. Believe it or not!"
She has long regarded herself as Xie Fu's person, and is willing to spend any amount of money on Xie Fu. If Xie Fu is kidnapped, let alone fifty-five thousand taels, even one hundred thousand taels, she will not hesitate, but What Xie Fu did was too outrageous and absolutely insane.
Gu Xianting said nicely: "Sister He Qing, there must be some misunderstanding. Mr. Xie is not this kind of person."
In Gu Xianting's view, Xie Fu is a simple person and is not a showy person.
This sentence reminded Tantai Heqing, and his anger suddenly disappeared. He said coldly: "He'd better give me an explanation, otherwise I'll never be done with him!"
Xiu'er asked in a low voice: "Miss, are you going to worship the river god?"
Gu Xianting responded in a low voice: "I'm not going, I'm staying here to be the peacemaker."
Xiu'er whispered: "Miss, you said he really paid fifty-five thousand taels for a brothel girl..."
Gu Xianting interrupted: "Okay, don't make random guesses, wait until Mr. Xie comes back."
At this moment, a servant hurried over, and Butler Kong quickly greeted him.
The servant whispered: "Master Xie is back."
Butler Kong returned in a hurry. Tantai Heqing already knew what Butler Kong wanted to say. As expected, he only heard Butler Kong whisper: "Master Xie is back."
Tantai Heqing was extremely calm at the moment and said calmly: "Invite him to come to the inner house."
Xie Fu spent fifty-five thousand taels on a brothel girl as an oiran. I'm afraid that this kind of frivolous affair will be known to the whole city, and there will be no way to stop it.
Fu Xie is the future master of the Tantai Mansion. Even though Tantai Heqing is very angry at the moment, he still needs to give him ten points of face, and he must deal with it privately and secretly.
Tantai Heqing returned to the inner house and arranged all the maids in the inner house to clean the embroidery building, leaving only two confidants, Xia'er and Xiaoqiu.
"Sister Xianting, I have some housework to take care of today. How about I accompany you to worship the River God tomorrow?"
Logically speaking, Gu Xianting needed to avoid it at this time, but she was determined to get involved in this matter.
She knew Sister Tantai's temper and was confident that she could appease her anger.
He replied: "Let's put aside the matter of worshiping the river god for now. There must be a misunderstanding about this matter. Please speak carefully later and don't be impulsive."
Tantai Heqing looked at Gu Xianting and thought to herself that the girl from Xianting was so gentle. She could never compare to her. She knew that Gu Xianting also liked Xie Fu in her heart, so she asked softly: "Girl from Xianting, this kind of girl is so gentle." If it were you, would you be able to bear it?"
Gu Xianting smiled bitterly: "Silver is one thing, but this behavior is a bit excessive."
Xiaoqiu came in with a bunch of torture instruments: "Miss, I brought everything you asked for."
Gu Xianting was shocked. Could it be that Sister He Qing really wanted to come?
"Xiaoqiu, hide your things first."
After Tantai Heqing gave the instructions, he said to Gu Xianting: "It's just to scare him. If you don't give him any color in this kind of thing, he will be even more lawless in the future. You can't be gentle to men, you have to be soft and hard. This girl You have to learn from me."
Tantai Heqingyu has a set of methods, which can also be used on men. Simply put, it is a combination of kindness and power.
Xie Fu walked into Tantai Mansion in a happy mood, looking forward to his bright future. He became the Jiedushi, and He Qing was the Jiedushi's wife.
With power, status and money, like Li Xiaosha, he has enough confidence to marry several confidants home.
Seeing Butler Kong walking towards him quickly, he greeted him loudly: "Butler Kong, I was just looking for you. I have several relatives coming to Suzhou. You can arrange some people to clean the Xie Mansion today. I will also So we can arrange for them to stay."
Butler Kong ignored what Xie Fu said and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Xie, did you spend fifty-five thousand taels on a brothel girl as an oiran last night?"
Xie Fu was surprised and quickly relieved. The brothel flower selection was a grand event in the city. Naturally, word spread about his spectacular behavior in the brothel last night.
He whispered: "Does He Qing know?"
When Butler Kong heard this, he immediately became excited: "Master Xie, how could you do such a thing? It's simply... simply..."
Butler Kong didn't know what to say. He didn't believe it earlier and thought Mr. Xie wouldn't do such a crazy thing.
Xie Fu smiled awkwardly. From He Qing's point of view, what he did last night was indeed excessive, but compared to openly offending Zhu Clan, it was nothing.
One just lost money, but the other may even lose his life.
"Thank you, sir. Miss, please come to the inner chamber."
"Let's go." Since He Qing already knew, he didn't have to bite the bullet and advance. After doing what he did last night, he had already expected that this would happen.
On the way, Butler Kong saw that Fu Xie was not taking it seriously and reminded him: "Master Xie, I have never seen the young lady so angry. You must admit your mistake and coax her after a while. The young lady still loves you very much. No matter what, it won't help." Just say you were drunk and did it in a daze."
Xie Fu smiled in his heart, what a good steward Kong, you even thought of the words for me, and said with a smile: "Compared to the last time, I didn't come back in time to get married?"
Butler Kong was stunned: "That's not the case."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "That's enough." After saying this, he patted Butler Kong on the shoulder to comfort the old steward who was even more nervous and panicked than him.
He was so panicked that his walking posture was wrong. The anxious Butler Kong almost stumbled and fell when Fu Xie slapped him.
Walking into the inner house, the usually bustling inner house was filled with an eerie quietness. This quietness made Butler Kong feel like the calm before the storm.
What Xie Fu saw was different. He Qing pushed the maid away and prepared for a big fight, which showed that she was still rational and would not go crazy.
Butler Kong stopped and said, "Thank you, Mr. Master, I won't be going in for a while."
Xie Fu could clearly feel his fear and nodded with a smile.
