The seventh lady nodded.
"What's the point?"
"What the emperor says is true."
"A decree from the emperor?"
The Seventh Lady smiled and said: "Yes, today the emperor demands that there be no beggars in the world, to show all the nations that our Grand View Country is prosperous and prosperous. If there are beggars in the jurisdiction, the district chief will be severely punished. Other places are far away and out of control, but this Chang'an City If you see one, catch one.”
Xie Fu sneered: "What a world without beggars!"
The seventh lady apologized and said, "There are a lot of ridiculous and funny things in Chang'an City. Uncle will get used to them after staying here for a long time."
Xie Fu asked: "What's going on with these beggars?"
The seventh lady explained: "This is not a winter-spring social event. It is a time when there is a shortage of food. Some poor families really have no food, so they come to Chang'an City to beg for food. Two or three city gate guards turned a blind eye. Eyes, let them sneak in."
Xie Fu said: "There is still a bit of human touch, the law is nothing more than human touch."
The Seventh Lady smiled and said: "But if you sneak into the city, you may not be able to get food. This is Chang'an City, and no one wants to break the law."
Xie Fu seemed to have heard the group of beggars saying that Master Cui gave them food, so he asked: "Then why do these beggars gather in Cui Mansion?"
"My husband is not afraid of trouble. If he is given something to eat and beaten, others will think he is having fun, and he will show off this matter in front of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xie Fu asked: "Real relief or fake relief, real fun or fake fun."
The seventh lady smiled: "My husband is a human being, no matter how evil a person is, there are times when he has kind intentions. I can't say for sure."
There is no beggar in the world! Xie Fu thought it was extremely ridiculous. This was not just hiding a disease and avoiding medical treatment.
This Cui Mansion is really big. I walked along the wall for a long time before arriving at the gate of Cui Mansion.
There were already seven or eight noble ladies standing in front of the door, all dressed up. Behind them, male and female servants lined up in two rows to greet them with bowed heads. The end of the long queue could not be seen.
Some ladies were standing while adjusting their clothes and headgear. They were obviously in a hurry. When they saw Fu Xie, they immediately stopped moving and stood up straight.
A dignified lady in the middle led the ladies down the steps, saluted and said, "Uncle, all blessings."
This scene made Xie Fu confused. He didn't know who to turn to first. He thought to himself that Sanfei was good at controlling his wife, and so was Li Xiaosha. He really should ask Sanfei for advice on this point.
He responded with a salute: "Everyone..."
He was half-said, but he was holding back. How could any of your brothers and sisters say that?
One lady couldn't help but sneered, and was immediately glared at by the woman in the middle. Apparently she should be Cui Sanfei's real wife.
"Brothers and sisters, I just came to see Sanfei, why bother so much?"
The eldest lady said: "Uncle is a distinguished guest. It is his first visit, so it is appropriate."
He stood aside and said, "Uncle, please come into the house to talk."
The servants in the mansion stood on both sides to greet him respectfully. The nine ladies supported Xie Fu and stepped into the hall. Xie Fu could not help but have the misconception that he was the master of Cui Mansion.
After Xie Fu was placed in a distinguished position, except for the eldest lady who sat down humbly, the remaining eight women were still standing and had no right to sit in front of Xie Fu.
Xie Fu asked: "Where is Sanfei?"
The eldest lady responded: "My husband is not in the mansion. If you know that your uncle is coming to visit today, he will be waiting in the mansion. I have already sent someone to inform you."
Xie Fu asked casually: "Where did Sanfei go?"
As soon as these words came out, the nine girls all looked strange, and the eldest lady smiled apologetically: "Uncle, he's going...he's going..."
I said twice in a row that he would go, but there was no follow-up.
The seventh lady talked with Fu Xie for a while, and knew that Fu Xie was an amiable person, so she blurted out: "My husband has gone to fool around!"
The other eight goddesses were stunned and secretly looked at Xie Fu's expression.
Xie Fu groaned in his heart, is he going to fool around in such an aboveboard way? When he goes to a brothel, he has to say hello to He Qing in advance to avoid too much misunderstanding by He Qing.
"Sanfei has a beautiful wife and concubine at home, how can he be like this? It's too much."
As an outsider, how could he interfere in other people's family affairs? Xie Fu was just saying polite words.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Seven said angrily: "That's right, nine are not enough. Uncle, you have to make the decision for us!"
How could you say such things in front of your uncle? The eldest lady looked at the seventh lady and said in a deep voice: "Seventh lady!"
The seventh lady said loudly: "Sister, I've had enough. You don't dare to tell your uncle. I'll tell him. When the time comes, I will be punished."
Xie Fu groaned under the expectant gaze of the seventh lady.
The seventh lady’s voice begged: “Uncle, if you don’t dare to make decisions for us, no one will make decisions for us.”
Xie Fu smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't dare, it's just that it's hard for me as an outsider to interfere in your family affairs, and I can't even call the shots."
The eldest lady saw that Xie Fu's tone seemed to be loosened, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle is not an outsider. My husband respects you. He often talks about you with interest in front of us. If my uncle is willing to talk, my husband will definitely be willing to listen."
Seeing that the eldest lady opened her mouth, the other ladies all agreed: "Yes, as long as your uncle is willing to open his mouth, your husband will definitely be willing to listen."
Mr. Xie just smiled and kept silent. I just came to visit, not for the Hongmen Banquet. You all...
I don't know why, but these ladies didn't treat him as an outsider at all, and complained to Xie Fu about all the big and small things.
It made Xie Fu unable to speak even if he didn't say anything: "Okay, I'll tell San Fei later that I need to cherish my wife and children more, but I can't go outside again..."
Xie Fu deliberately did not say these two words, but the seventh lady added: "Fooling around."
Xie Fu chuckled: "Yes, fooling around."
When the nine ladies saw the thank you, they stood up and saluted: "Thank you very much, uncle."
This made Xie Fu feel that if this matter could not be handled well, it would be difficult to explain to others.
The nine girls introduced each other to Xie Fu. Cui Sanfei's first wife was the Wang family of Taiyuan, and she was a close match with the Boling Cui family.
When the seventh lady was introduced to Wenren Yue, she heard that she was from Wenren Ranch in the northwest, so she specifically asked where Wenren Ranch was.
Under the dictation of the Seventh Lady, Xie Fu was full of yearning for that beautiful place that connected the world to the ground.
"Seventh younger brother and sister, this Wenren Ranch..."
Xie Fu originally wanted to ask Wen Renling, but he didn't know how to ask.
The seventh lady smiled and said, "Uncle, do you want to ask if there are many beauties there?"
Xie Fu smiled hoarsely: "Just think of it like that."
The seventh lady smiled and said: "There are so many beauties there, and they are so passionate and fierce."
Xie Fu smiled: "It's quite desirable."
The Sixth Lady sneered, and Xie Fu was confused: "Sixth brother and sister, why are you laughing?"
The Sixth Lady said: "I won't say anything, so as not to scare you, uncle."
Xie Fu became even more confused and curious: "Are you scaring me?"
The Seventh Madam was the best one to explain this doubt. She smiled and said, "It's just that the beauties there are stronger than the men."
Xie Fu glanced at Madam Seven and laughed: "It's imaginable."
Remembering that her uncle could clearly see her fierceness at the door, the seventh lady's face showed a faint blush: "I have changed a lot to make my uncle laugh."
