Xiaosheng is not a nerd

He gently held the hem of Xie Fu's clothes with his fingers and pulled it open, smiling lightly: "I didn't expect that this little brat like you would grow into a handsome boy. My heart is trembling because of you."

Xie Fu pulled up the front of his shirt, "Sister, we know each other so well, I'm embarrassed to see you like this."

Qin Xiang'er sneered: "I like the way you blush, and I like the way you look embarrassed even more."

Xie Fu smiled, how should I put it, he and Qin Xiang'er have been together for ten years, and they are so familiar that they are very close to each other. They usually talk indiscriminately, and if they behave too much, they will treat each other as a joke.

But when that relationship was suddenly broken, he still felt a little weird in his heart.

He thinks that, in terms of dewy love alone, it is not as strong and important as the companionship and growth of siblings.

That's why he was so panicked when he woke up, because he was afraid of losing the irreplaceable relationship between a man and a woman.

It was right for Sister Xiang'er to ask for something from him.

But if it's the other way around, if he did this, it would be ungrateful and devoid of conscience.

Qin Xianger's voice floated: "What are you thinking about?"

"No."

"Xiao Lang, get me something from the cabinet."

"what?"

Qin Xiang'er didn't say anything clearly, but Xie Fu walked to the cabinet and opened a box inside according to Qin Xiang'er's instructions.

The contents of the box surprised Xie Fu.

There are small wooden figures carved by hand, pavilions made of bamboo, and some thorn hairpins, and such small things.

These gadgets are given to Qin Xiang'er by herself every year on her birthday.

Xie Fu picked up the hand-carved wooden figure, which was the first gift he gave Qin Xianger. He remembered that he was only 12 years old at the time and had just arrived in Qinlou.

One day Qin Xiang'er's birthday, her birthday is a grand event in Qinlou, a banquet is set up, women in the brothel, famous actors and actresses all give her expensive gifts one after another.

He was a humble, poor boy. After the banquet, he was waiting for Qin Xiang'er in front of her room with a wooden figure he carved by himself.

He admitted that he had the purpose of currying favor with Qin Xiang'er, in order to stay in Qinlou, where there are endless books.

That night Qin Xiang'er came back drunk, and thanked Fu for giving her gift with great expectation. Qin Xiang'er took one look at it and threw it away, which made him sad and lost for a whole night.

Thinking of this memory, Xie Fu couldn't help but feel excited that he hadn't thrown away the little wooden man again.

"Sister Xiang'er, you didn't throw away this wooden figure."

Qin Xiang'er glanced at it, and said lightly.

But Xie Fu came to the bed with the whole box excitedly, dangled the little wooden figure in front of Qin Xianger, and said excitedly, "This is the first birthday present I gave you."

Qin Xiang'er was not as excited as Xie Fu. Of course she remembered it. If she didn't remember, how could this thing that couldn't be eaten or worn be kept in my treasure box?

Xie Fu pointed to the small characters on the back of the little wooden figure and read: "The Chinese language is Mu Qing, the bell is beautiful, the beauty is magnificent every day and night, and the brilliance is unmatched——Xie Fu Shunzhu."

Qin Xiang'er smiled. She also saw this small word the next day, so she specially kept this little wooden figure. A 12-year-old boy could say this, which was better than many bachelors.

This is why she kept this boy who stole books. Later, she was lucky enough to meet the tired-looking boy who held discarded books as treasures.

There was a faint hum on his lips.

Xie Fu was not satisfied with her coldness: "What?"

"That's right."

Xie Fu resented, picked up the thorn hairpin, and immediately became excited again: "I gave it to you in the third year in Qinlou. At that time, you thought it was inferior and didn't wear it. I didn't expect you to keep it."

Qin Xiang'er said calmly: "Just throw it in the box." But he thought secretly in his heart: If he had worn it, it would have broken long ago, and how could he have kept it until now.

Xie Fu was a little disappointed and said: "This is the money I saved for helping people push carts. Originally, I wanted to give you a different gift that year to surprise you."

Qin Xiang'er's heart trembled. She really didn't know this. Although it was just a Jing hairpin, women's jewelry was already expensive, and this was not what a 14-year-old boy could afford.

Xie Fu laughed at himself and said: "It's ridiculous to think about it now. Sister Xiang'er, you are full of jewels, so how could you fall in love with this Jing hairpin? Fortunately, I want to give you a surprise."

Qin Xiang'er was emotional: "Bring it from Jingchai."

After receiving the Jing hairpin from Mr. Xie, he made a bun on the spot, put the Jing hair hair in it, and asked with a smile: "Does it look good?"

But Xie Fu said: "It's detrimental to your beauty, and it's really not worthy of you."

"As long as it's from you, it's worthy of it."

"Thank you for your face, sister."

Qin Xianger smiled sweetly.

Xie Fu flipped through the items in the box again, and said happily: "Sister Xiang'er, you keep everything I gave you. Look at this..."

Qin Xiang'er interrupted: "Come on." It made my mother seem to covet you, a little brat, since you were 12 years old.

"Xiao Lang, take out the thin book under the box."

Xie Fu did as he did, and Qin Xianger said again: "Turn over and have a look."

After looking through it, Xie Fu was surprised: "Sister Xiang'er, you have memorized every account!"

"Then what do you think, when did my old lady do business at a loss?"

Xie Fu smiled bitterly: "After settling the scores, the feelings will fade away."

"Stop doing this. You have taken advantage of me over the years. Such a thick book. Now that you are a high official, you are not short of money."

Xie Fu waved his hand: "I won't pay it back!"

Qin Xianger smiled: "This account plus interest can catch up with an astronomical figure."

Xie Fu acted recklessly: "It's best, anyway, I won't pay it back."

"It doesn't matter, you can use other methods. You tear off a page, and it will be my prostitution money last night."

Xie Fu laughed and said: "You don't need to tear it up, just treat it as if I don't know it all my life, as long as you need it, sister, I will do my best to make you comfortable."

Even Qin Xiang'er, who was used to hearing the slander of brothels, blushed slightly at these words, but she still managed to hold on.

Xie Fu saw that Qin Xiang'er was silent.He leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Sister, I was drunk last night, and you must not be happy. How about I make up for it now, and it will be perfect for you."

Qin Xiang'er was shocked, you really want my mother's life, and asked: "Are you still drunk?"

"Do I look like I'm drunk now?"

"You dare to say such things to me when you are not drunk."

Xie Fu laughed: "Anyway, I don't even know the principal and the interest, so I have to use this to offset the debt."

Qin Xiang'er pinched his face with her hand: "Only my wife is allowed to molest you, you are not allowed to molest my wife."

Xie Fu dodged, and Qin Xiang'er casually took the pillow and threw it over: "Get out of here!"

Xie Fu caught the pillow thrown towards his face, and slowly put it down, revealing a pair of eyes, which were full of smiles: "Sister, I knew you had a hot mouth and a shy heart, you can see that your face is blushing."

Qin Xianger was furious and wanted to get out of bed and beat him.

Xie Fu turned and ran, shouting, "Are you not wearing any clothes?"

Qin Xiang'er suddenly realized and hid under the quilt again. Although she was usually aggressive, she was not aggressive enough to wander around naked.

Looking at Xie Fu's back, he smiled and cursed: "Damn monkey."

Suddenly there was a stabbing pain under his body, he frowned and bit his lips and cursed viciously: "Little beast! Just this once, you have avenged everything."

……

When Xie Fu went to court for the first time, he prepared two things. One was to exercise the power of Jiedushi and achieve tax autonomy.

Huainan Road is no more than Longxi, Frontier and other areas where Jiedushi is set up.

There are large armies stationed in the border areas. Although taxation is autonomous, there are still many shortfalls every year, which requires the court to allocate food and salary.

Jiangnan is a wealthy and tax-heavy area, and only the state government troops are stationed there. There are no large-scale legions. Every year, a portion of the tax revenue is allocated by the state governments, and most of it returns to the national treasury.

After the national treasury is full, it will be able to allocate funds to border areas for military envoys, which is equivalent to helping the poor from the rich.

Xie Fu once considered an issue. If Huainan Road implements tax autonomy, wouldn't it cut off the source of food and salary in the border areas? He even asked Lu Tao for advice on this matter. After all, state affairs are greater than private matters.

Lu Tao told him that the frontier areas were not as poor as imagined, there had been no wars in recent years, and the imperial government's appropriation of food and salaries was still maintained at the wartime standard.

This has led to the prevalence of extravagant entertainment among military officers and soldiers in border areas. If this continues, these brave and capable troops will be corrupted, and they may be vulnerable to a real war.

Xie Fu asked Lu Tao why he didn't rectify military discipline.

Lu Tao told him that not to mention rectifying military discipline, it would only reduce the annual allocation of food and salary. All military envoys complained that there was nothing to rectify military discipline, and they repeatedly wrote letters saying that the morale of the army was slack.

The imperial court not only wanted these military envoys to guard the country, but was also afraid that these military envoys would rebel, so it never dared to make any big moves and always tried to appease them cautiously.

This is a historical problem, and there is no good solution in a short period of time, and serious diseases need heavy medicine. It is best to have a war now, so that these Jiedu envoys will be vigilant, diligent and frugal, and strict in military discipline.

In addition, the royal family and nobles in Chang'an are extravagant and extravagant, and they are supported by the rich and taxed people in the south of the Yangtze River. If the money is cut off, it may cure their problems.

After listening to Lu Tao's analysis, Xie Fu has no worries in this regard. It is better for me to use the money for you to eat, drink and have fun.

The second is to rectify the name of Daqin Nestorianism, just to lead the conflict to the martial arts forces in the Western Regions, so that the martial arts forces in the Daguan Kingdom can be vigilant and unite.

How do you know that when you reach the court, there are courtiers who take the position of special envoy of Xie Fu's direct decree? Too much power does more harm than good.

Many courtiers echoed this.

Some other courtiers retorted from the perspective of sharing the Emperor's worries and thanking His Excellency for making good use of his talents.

Suddenly they were divided into two groups, each giving their own reasons, arguing endlessly, and it was as lively as a vegetable market.

Xie Fu asked Qin Chuzhen beside him in a low voice: "Does this often happen in court?"

Qin Chuzhen responded with a smile: "Sometimes it will be like this."

Seeing that the quarrel was endless, and he was afraid that the next court would not be able to reach a conclusion, the emperor couldn't help but frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Xie Fu, many officials said that you are young and inexperienced, what do you have?" What do you think?"
