"when are we leaving?"
"You can leave after the Chinese New Year and rush to attend the Lantern Festival palace banquet."
"I……"
"Do you want to tag along?"
"I'd better stay and take care of Sister He Qing. I don't know when you will come back. When Sister He Qing gives birth, I will take care of her."
Even if Gu Xianting wants to go, Xie Fu will advise her not to follow him. After all, during this trip to Chang'an, he will not only have to deal with Du Zhiwei's affairs, but also a fight between dragons and tigers.
"But you belong to me these days."
Fu Xie did not expect that Gu Xianting would say such passionate and bold words, and said with a smile: "My Xianting seems to be becoming more and more seductive."
"Mrs. Gu and the others told me that men are just stupid and will rot if they are not teased."
"Oh, thank you very much, Mrs. Gu and the others, for training your wife for me."
After washing and changing clothes, the two of them moved to the side hall.
Du Zhiwei was a little worried at first, but when he saw the two couples chatting and laughing, Xie Fu seemed to be fine.
While Gu Xianting went to the kitchen to prepare food for Fu Xie, Du Zhiwei asked in a low voice: "Master, are you okay?"
"Ms. Du, this matter is rotten in your stomach. Don't ever mention it."
Seeing Fu Xie's nonchalant look, Du Zhiwei asked: "Master, do you think that sister Ting can't give birth? You don't love her and don't care about her anymore."
"I don't care. In my heart, having children is not as important as her. What I worry about is that Xianting feels uncomfortable."
Du Zhiwei felt comforted. The young master was truly an extraordinary man with a magnificent spirit.
Xie Fu said calmly: "If you still can't get pregnant, just tell her it's my fault, and she will feel better."
Du Zhiwei smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that Sister Ting will have to seek medical treatment for you all her life."
…
After finishing the meal, Xie Fu went out again, but this time he came to Yuyuan again and saw Mrs. Wang.
"Xiaoyun, let me tell you something. Can you, the medical fairy, help me?"
When Mrs. Wang heard herself being addressed like this, she knew that he had encountered something difficult, "Just tell me."
"My wife has lost her virginity and has been unable to conceive a child."
"Gu Xianting?"
Xie Fu nodded.
"There are many reasons for mutilation. Some can be cured and some cannot. You can bring her over sometime and let me take a look."
"Forehead……"
"Why are you hesitating? There's nothing you can't say."
Xie Fu told what Du Zhiwei said.
Mrs. Wang said calmly: "If that's the case, you don't have to bring it over and show it to me. There's nothing I can do about it."
Xie Fu was anxious: "You are a medical fairy, how can you not do anything? Last time I lost all my cultivation, you had no way, and now there is nothing I can do. I think you should not call me a medical fairy, but a quack doctor."
Mrs. Wang retorted: "Everything must follow the laws of heaven. Can you let a man have a child?"
Xie Fu quickly controlled his emotions: "I'd better bring it over for you to see. I can trust you more."
"She can diagnose the pathology of budding..."
Mrs. Wang said, holding back: "Okay, bring it here and I will diagnose it carefully."
"If it's budding, is there really no way to cure it?"
"It didn't happen before, and it may not be possible in the future."
This is also a comfort.
"Come to my house to have New Year's dinner together during the Chinese New Year."
Mrs. Wang sneered: "In what capacity? Future mother-in-law or black market lady?"
"Concubine, is that okay?"
Mrs. Wang sneered: "Really?"
"going or not?"
Mrs. Wang saw Fu Xie's serious look: "Come on, don't make trouble over nothing."
Xie Fu no longer struggled with this matter: "I'll take Hongye and Zaomou away."
"Um."
…
As the Chinese New Year approaches, Fu Xie is still busy. During the day, he is busy repairing books and traveling to various states and counties.
Jiangnan is a prosperous and tax-heavy area. He plans to exercise his right to self-governance as a Jiedushi envoy. He will keep the tax money in the treasury and not pay it. He will be self-governing for three years first.
If you don't use the jingle in your hand, it is no different from waste.
Of course, when the Ministry of Revenue cannot collect the tax money, there will definitely be a falling out and a lawsuit against him in front of the emperor.
Xie Fu also discussed this matter with Lu Tao in detail. Lu Tao believed that it was reasonable and feasible. This was the power of the Jiedushi in the first place, and this was not the case for the Jiedushi who held real power in Longxi.
Originally, the title of Jiedu Envoy of Huainan Province was just a false title. Now that Xie Fu is firmly in his position and wants to hold the real power, it will naturally cause a series of reactions.
Since they foresee the conflict, the two of them also come up with countermeasures in advance.
After summarizing, Lu Tao thanked Fu with seven words: "Cry miserably, shamelessly, and shamelessly."
Xie Fu was busy during the day and at night, busy trying to please Gu Xianting, his lovely wife.
In just three days, Gu Xianting couldn't bear it anymore and Jing avoided him. Finally, Jing hid in Tantai Heqing's place, claiming to be taking care of Tantai Heqing.
New Year's Eve soon arrived, and Tantai Heqing, who was indispensable for leaving the house, walked out of the house early in the morning to give rewards to everyone in the house as a thank you for their efforts over the past year.
In Tantai Prefecture, it is customary to pay rewards during the four major festivals, and as New Year's Eve is the end of the year, the reward is also the largest.
Perhaps influenced by the festive atmosphere, Tantai Heqing also looks rosy and looks good.
Tantai Mansion is also decorated with joy. Of course, there is more work than usual today, but the working atmosphere is different.
The old and young men and women in the house all seemed very happy. If there was any excessive fight, the usually strict housekeeper Kong became reasonable on this day and would not blame him if he saw it. He just wanted to be happy and lively.
On this day, Fu Xie was completely immersed in the lively joy. Here he watched Gu Xianting and a group of maids make dumplings and make red fruits, and there he went to slaughter chickens and geese in person...
Tantai Heqing came over with a full belly and waved to Xie Fu.
Xie Fu approached: "Madam, what's the matter?"
Tantai He smiled and asked, "Did you forget something?"
"Don't worry, I have prepared fireworks. It will be a sleepless night tonight. I guarantee that everyone will stay vigil until dawn."
"That's not what I meant."
"Then what did you say?"
"Where's grandpa?"
Xie Fu made a sound and slapped his thigh hard: "How could I forget this!"
Indeed, he was so busy during these days that he had no time for other trivial matters. He also complained that the two ladies managed the house in an orderly manner, so he didn't need to worry too much.
There was a crisp sound and the slap was very hard. Everyone stopped working and looked over, not knowing what was going on.
Tantai Heqing smiled and said: "I have sent people to pick up grandpa to Suzhou a long time ago. It's almost time to arrive. As a grandson, you should go to the door in advance to greet him."
"I was scared to death. Fortunately you were thoughtful, otherwise this old man would have hated me forever."
Tantai Heqing smiled.
Fu Xie was waiting at the gate of Tantai Mansion. After waiting for a long time, he saw the carriage arriving and was immediately greeted.
Xie Guangde got off the carriage. Perhaps because of his old age, the journey was bumpy, and his feet were a little light and unsteady when they landed on the ground.
Xie Fu hurriedly helped him and called out: "Grandpa."
Xie Guangde glanced at Xie Fu, said coldly, and gently pushed away Xie Fu's hand.
Butler Kong said hurriedly and respectfully: "Old Master, please come to the house."
This should be regarded as a small reunion of the book. As an ending, it cannot be fully described.
For those who are anxious about the plot behind it, I definitely think it is a bit watery.
(In addition, Gu Xianting’s death is a big foreshadowing, so you don’t need to be too entangled and uncomfortable.)
