Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 119 Some People Always Think Too Much

"Oh, how can the little girl, He De, let Mr. Tongzhi come over to greet you in the hot summer." The little girl obsequiously brought a plate of snacks in front of him.

Xu Ye has always loved her contrived appearance.Picking up a piece of sugar cake, "You don't have to be too moved."

Cheng Fu stuffed the fan into his free other hand again, "I was so moved that I was sweating."

Jiujiu covered her mouth and suppressed a smile.

So Xu Ye reluctantly fanned her all the way.

Cheng Han was not in Jinling at this time, and he also went away after his sister went to Beijing. He planned to come back before July, but was temporarily delayed by other things.And when she learned that she couldn't see her little brother, the little girl's face was so stinky.

"Let me just say that he disliked me and left me during the Chinese New Year, and now he runs out to have fun while I'm in Beijing. How can there be such a person? Others' elder brothers never do this..." She puffed her face.

Xu Ye listened to her soft chatter while fanning the wind, the feeling of peace and tranquility came back, which is great.

The little girl spread out the paper, ready to continue writing the new storybook, "Receive all his bedding, and he will sleep on a hard bed from now on."

Xu Ye sat cross-legged, resting her cheeks with one hand and fanning her face with the other. Her attention was always on her face. In fact, they were separated for about two months, but the little girl seemed to have grown up again.

"Forget it." You two will have to fight again later.He is no longer a child, and it is really inconvenient to go out with paint on his face.

It's a pity that his persuasion not only didn't let Cheng Han escape, but almost got him involved.The little girl frowned, "Okay, I won't be in Jinling for a few days, and you guys will form a small gang to squeeze me out."

Xu Ye immediately changed his words, "Just do as you said, let him sleep on a hard bed."

As soon as she entered the door, Weng Qimin rushed over to give her a big hug, and she also saw Xi'er who was already crying badly.Weng Qimin's hair has grown, and she can walk around. Without the constraints of those dogmatic family rules, she and Weng Fan are like wild horses, going out to play every day.

During Cheng Fu's stay in the capital, their siblings also got on good terms with Miss Ye's family who was at the opposite door, and the few of them often went to the tavern together, sitting for most of the day.

Seeing her so happy, Cheng Fu decided to rot in his stomach the trouble he caused to the Weng family.But what she didn't know was that Xu Ye told his siblings the day he received the news.Weng Qimin was very glad that Xu Ze arrived in time and did not let Cheng Fu be taken away by the people of Jingding Yamen.

"Miss, is there any news from Cui'er?" Xi'er now has a new identity, her name is Wen Yu, and she is only said to be Wen Xiang's cousin, who has been living in Jiangnan.

Cheng Fu shook his head, "Gao Sheng has already sent someone out, and if there is any news, it will be sent to Jinling." Cui'er must not make any mistakes.

Wen Xiang comforted Xi'er, "Don't worry too much about it, it's all over." Anyway, with a new identity, even if the Chen family wants to call her Xi'er shamelessly in the future, she can ignore it.

"I know, I won't cause trouble for Miss." Xi'er nodded obediently.

Cheng Fu didn't know how much hardship they had experienced in the Chen family in the past few years, but Xi'er's appearance was really uncomfortable.The wounds in my heart cannot be healed in a day or two, I can only take it slowly, find something for her to do, and just get busy.

Xu Ye's house has been repaired, and everything that should be added has been added. Except for a few men who do rough work, there is no one else in the huge mansion.However, his old residence at Cheng's house has caused all kinds of unbearable speculations, and even the people in the yamen hinted at him several times.

"They said you were shameless to seduce Xu Tongzhi." Wu Ying crossed her legs and held a tea bowl in her hand, very leisurely.

Women in this era are easily speculated maliciously, especially Cheng Fu, who has a well-known background and experience, and is good at making money.All kinds of previous facts put together are like poking the lungs of moralists.

Abandoned by the family, how can a woman who is full of copper stink be surrounded by high-quality men.The world has simply gone downhill.

Cheng Fu was unpacking all kinds of letters and gifts he had accumulated, chatting with Wu Ying without saying a word, "Just don't come to me for nothing, and let them make arrangements."

These rumors are unbearable, but she also believes that most people have brains, and they just want to express their pleasure for a while because they don't want to see her well.That being the case, why should she care about it, anyway, it will not have any impact on Lianghexuan and the tavern.

"Almost forgot... Jiujiu gave him the title deed."

Wu Ying took the box from Jiujiu, and opened it to reveal a land deed and a transaction document issued by the government, "This is..." Wujin's house, and the transaction amount made him speechless, the land price in the capital was more expensive than he knew Not a lot.

"Didn't you say you wanted to follow me back to Beijing? I saw you off. My house is next door." Are you satisfied now?

While talking, Cheng Fu opened Lu Xuewen's letter. On the opening day of the Jinling Museum, someone bought the Lu family's embroidery, and sent someone to Suzhou to discuss cooperation with the Lu family the next day.He specially wrote this letter this time mainly to thank him, and also said that if there is anything that needs the help of the Lu family in the future, it is his duty to do so.

Wu Ying stared at the land deed in her hand and didn't respond for a long time. She felt her heart was filled with something, which was very warm.Looking up at the man, the man was not looking forward to his performance, but was concentrating on the letter, frowning slightly childish and focused.He closed the box, restrained his mood on the verge of losing his composure, and slowly calmed himself down.He knew that he and Cheng Fu didn't need to express anything.

"Then I have to think about how to refurbish it quickly. My set of Tianzhu bottles can be shipped there first..."

In this regard, Cheng Fu was reminded that after the people in the house moved out, she would also start to demolish and rebuild it. After the little brother passed the country test, he could move in when he returned to Beijing.

Ding Yixuan went upstairs, interrupting their rare leisure time, "The two masters, the Wen family and the Guo family are here."

The two exchanged glances, both of them agreed that trouble had come to them.Slowly put aside the work at hand, got up and went to the tea room.Wu Ying waited for her to come to her, and reminded her in a low voice, "Don't say anything later, I'll come."

Cheng Fu's eyes were complicated, "I'm not here..." What happened?

Wu Ying shook her head in disgust, and told her not to ask, she didn't even bother to mention it, "You were right in deciding not to hold the long-distance race this year. These companies have stories every day. But it has nothing to do with us." Now the Cuju competition is It is very successful and more interesting. It will not cause trouble for the government, and the income will not be taken up by the government. They can worry about it. The government does not have to spend tax money. They are also happy. It can be said that everyone is happy.

The people from these two families are all big stewards, and they are also the children of the family property.The older one is called Wen Fang, with a medium build, white and clean skin, and looks like he has been pampered all year round. The younger one is called Guo Qin, who is also of medium build, but his skin is slightly dark, and he is not good-looking, with big lips. , There is still a bit of a big tongue when talking, it always feels like it is acquired.

Wu Ying only heard their names, but never met her.

After greeting each other, Cheng Fu quietly drank tea and listened to Wu Ying and Ding Yixuan communicating with those two.

This year, the price of the business space is [-]% higher than last year. Wu Ying didn't say a word, but Ding Yixuan followed the long-distance race last year and had a clear account of the accounts. Just like last year, both Hexuan and Hexuan made a lot of money. No matter who it is this year There is no need for the host to increase the price.

Moreover, he remembered that the long-distance race held by the owner was not purely for himself. Both the government and ordinary people increased their income. It can be said that last year's long-distance race was a win-win situation for all parties.

"Lianghexuan has to control costs this year, and the accountant has to do the calculations before he can answer." Ding Yixuan's words are not false, the accountant must have carefully calculated the high [-]%, and if he ends up losing money, Mr. Mo will definitely persuade the owner not to get involved .

Wen Fang and Guo Qin turned their gazes to Wu Ying at the same time, and they figured out that Cheng Fu didn't plan to say anything today, and Wu Ying was the only one who made the decision.

"Guan Ding didn't lie. The cost of Lianghexuan this year has already exceeded, so he didn't intend to take a business seat. The two of you came to the door in person today. We should be considerate, after all, it is an annual event in Jinling. According to last year's Price, let's squeeze together, temporarily detaining the servants for three months can probably make up the money. But it's [-]% higher, it's really embarrassing, I hope you can forgive me." Wu Ying explained without haste.

Cheng Fu listened with gusto, feeling relieved that it had nothing to do with him. During the period, he ate the steamed soft rice cakes on the plate.

Since Wen and Guo came here, they would not be unprepared. They saw that they took out a long piece of paper with the names of various companies densely written on it.

"It's not that we want to increase the price, but that there are too many companies that want to get a good position this year, and these have already paid the deposit in advance." Guo Qin laughed.

"We also considered Lianghexuan as the host last year, so we specially reserved places for you." Wen Fang added.

Wu Ying glanced at the densely packed long paper. Speaking of which, the feel of the paper could tell that it was from Lianghexuan.But what does a list of major firms represent?Even if the business space is really in demand this year, Lianghexuan must join in the fun?If Mr. Mo, the big accountant, finds out, he and a few stewards will be punished until the end of the year.

"What about ordinary business seats that don't need lottery?"

Wen and Guo glanced at each other, secretly thinking, "It's only [-]% more than last year, but the locations are all corners." Last year, Lianghexuan only allocated a small part of the area with better locations into the lottery area , most of which are classified as ordinary areas.This year, most of them are lottery areas, and only a small part is ordinary areas.

Wu Ying tapped her fan on the table, "You two, Lianghexuan really has no money this year, so I will be the master on behalf of Manshang's owner. Lianghexuan, Manshang, Hongzehang and Dahe Theater must be I will support you, and when the general area opens for registration, Steward Ding will be the first to queue up."

Cheng Fu finally spoke, "Let's make it so."

The two stewards Wen and Guo didn't have much dealings with Lianghexuan, so they didn't know that Cheng Fu had the final say on Lianghexuan.

"Wait..." Wen Fang still wanted to fight.

Ding Yixuan didn't want them to waste the time of the two employers, "I'm sorry, you two, if you had mentioned it two months earlier, maybe we would still be able to pay for it. Now it's the second half of the year, and the various expenses are really big. Good business But don’t worry, I’ll definitely go as soon as the common shops start to be numbered.”

Seeing that there was no room for change, Wen and Guo didn't waste their time talking. They have another matter to settle today.

"The date of the competition is the same as last year, but we understand that there is a Cuju competition the day before the long-distance race. You have to move the date forward or backward by five days."

Ding Yixuan felt that these two people were really unreasonable, "It's not the same day, there is no conflict." He also asked for a specific number of days.

Wen Fang said solemnly: "This is what our Patriarch means." So this is not a discussion, but a notice.

Ding Yixuan was dissatisfied and wanted to refute, but Cheng Fu held down his hand the next moment.Wu Ying said with a smile, "Although I don't know the reason for us to do this, it's not that we can't accommodate, but we have to give some compensation, right?"

Wen Fang himself didn't know why his superiors did this, and he was just here to spread the word, "Master Zhifu has already nodded."

"Pfft... All right, all right, since we've all moved out of the magistrate, let's delay." Wu Ying smiled and shook her head, showing no sign of embarrassment.

Sure enough, when Luo Shen was moved out, the two thorns of Lianghexuan had to bow their heads, so Guo Qin struck while the iron was hot, "The long-distance race is a grand event in Jinling, and Lianghexuan has experience last year. I think it's better for you to send a few people over to help."

Somewhere in Wen Fang's mind lit up, and he also echoed: "I think Guan Ding is good." Among the several helpers who helped Song Xinyi last year, he was the most outstanding one.

Hearing this, Ding Yixuan got goosebumps all over his body, and turned to look at Cheng Fu pitifully.However, the little girl had already eaten the third piece of rice cake, and there was no wave on her face.

Wu Ying waved to Wen and Guo, the two stewards, "I really can't afford it, I hope you two will include it." Not to mention the lack of manpower, even if there are enough, he can't disgust his own people.

Wen Fang said: "Lord Luo took office for the first year, the long-distance race was a grand event under his rule, presumably he hopes to make it bigger than in previous years." When I say this, you should be more transparent.

Cheng Fu didn't like to hear these words, she was really afraid that Wu Ying would respond again, "If Master Luo didn't mean it, then Lianghexuan really wouldn't be able to cooperate. We can't let us draw people back from various places, right? The loss caused, Is it your compensation or Master Luo's compensation?"

"Ro..."

Cheng Fu interrupted the other party with a smile, "Lianghexuan is just a small business, and it has only been in business for a short time. No matter how you look at it, it can't compare with Wen's and Guo's. Besides, you have so many helpers. We need our small business to contribute? Isn’t this a shame for you? Besides, when we talk about meritorious deeds, are you two willing to mention us to Mr. Luo?” Don’t take the opportunity to arrange Lianghexuan Deliberately dragging one's feet back is considered conscientious.

Wu Ying really planned to agree, no one would do it without effort, so that she could stop the family's mouth and save herself trouble.But when Cheng Fu said this, he felt that he was still thinking too simply, and even forgot the character of the Jiangnan family.

The discussion ended unhappy, and Wen and Guo left with dark faces.When Guo Qin went downstairs, he ran into Lu Qing who was busy, thinking of Mrs. Guo's temper after learning that the other party had come to Lianghexuan, his hatred for Lu Qing became even greater.But this is not a place to look for trouble, he just gave the other side a stern look.

Lu Qing didn't feel very good in his heart, but he was still glad that he made this choice.Now jumping out as a bystander, I feel more and more that the problems of these aristocratic families in Jiangnan are not small, probably because of the same reasons, the fatal problems are very similar, deep-rooted and difficult to correct.

After sending the person away, Ding Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief, just now he almost thought that he was going to be allowed to go out.

"Don't forget to queue up, we will do what we say." Wu Ying reminded him.

Ding Yixuan said ah, but couldn't hold back, "Will it be perfunctory if I line up all by myself?"

Wu Ying knocked him on the head, "It doesn't matter how many people go, they will only give us the worst position." So don't worry too much.

"Tsk, inferior."

"My boss, don't worry, no matter how bad the location is, I can make it lively." Ding Yixuan made up his mind.

Cheng Fu and Wu Ying saw that he was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to act against the trend, and wanted to say: It doesn't have to be.

Luo Shen, the new magistrate in the long-distance race, really wanted political achievements, so Xu Ye would naturally not intervene.Civil affairs, public security, water transportation, military supplies... A bunch of affairs are all in the hands of Tongzhi, many and trivial, enough for him to be busy every day, and he doesn't care about the smoky long-distance race.

"It's not that you are not allowed to pretend to be Liang Baihe, but you know that it is a crime to run rampant in the city with prohibited weapons. Send them to Jinling Guard to open up wasteland for two months."

When the young men heard that they were going to be coolies, they regretted it. "Can we return the sword?"

Xu Ye didn't even raise his head, "It's the same when you come back from serving your sentence and cut bamboo to make a piece of it." He felt that it was not easy to be a magistrate. Ah said.

The young people like the ones below are actually students in the academy, and they are just a little bit playful on weekdays, without any out-of-the-ordinary behavior.But recently because I like "White Crane Daoist", I have been imitating the characters in it every day, and this is nothing, but they even forged a big long sword that was banned by the court, and they just hit it and carried it around.

"Bamboo swords can't be the same." The story described in detail that Liang Baihe got a long sword with unknown spiritual power from the tomb of the gods, and the general size was also described, so they asked a blacksmith to forge this weapon.Obviously it's a sign of unfamiliarity with Dai Yuet Law.

"If you like this story, you must protect her." Although Cheng Fu is cautious and several people review the manuscript, the current situation is that the story is too well written, and many people are too devoted.Once a problem that affects public order arises, it will inevitably be used as a fuss.In the end the story will be stopped and the manuscript will be burned.

Those few were scholars, and they were not fools. After hearing Xu Ye's point, they finally realized the seriousness. Look at me and you, and finally bowed their heads silently and accepted the punishment.

"Go, work hard, the academy won't remove you." Now he really understands what it means to have a broken heart.

Several people heard that they could come back to study, their expressions were not so depressed at last, they were all relieved, and obediently went out with the official.

When Luo Shen heard about this, he didn't feel much at first, but the staff next to him muttered a few words, and then he was influenced, thinking that Xu Ye's punishment was too light.In the current peaceful and prosperous age, young people are becoming more and more lawless, Xu Ye can use this to make an example, but the other party has lightly exposed it, just sending people to Jinlingwei to open up wasteland, which is obviously not to his taste.

"Then what do you think the sentence should be?" Xu Ye asked with a smile.

Luo Shen's face was slumped, and he naturally had thoughts in his heart, such as going to prison for three to five years.But seeing the other party's calm and breezy expression, he stopped when he reached the point of his mouth, and finally left without saying anything.Xu Ye was at a loss, what did this person come here for?

After dinner, he took a walk in the garden with the little girl to digest food. He told her about Rili. Those who say their heads are still in the majority.It is a good thing for the little girl that the story is liked by so many people, he thought.

"Luo Shen probably wanted to convince you, but found that you didn't like him, so I had to hold back." The little girl was already writing a new story, and her feelings for "White Crane Daoist" were the same as the previous "Old Mountain Chronicle" Almost, she is more concerned about the delicate balance between Luo Shen and Xu Ye now.

Xu Ye really smiled, "He's a Shangguan, so I've never expressed dissatisfaction." He remembered that he never went against Luo Shen's decision.

The little girl held his hand and laughed, and gently lifted the cat that was hugging her, "Right, things in this world are so weird, some people always think too much."
