Chapter 173 The Unusual Mrs. Fu (Part [-])

Tsk, where does this old vinegar smell come from?
Fu Shijin couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth amusedly, but the man hugged her tightly, obviously unwilling to let her see his appearance at this time, so he didn't do any useless work, adjusted his posture in his arms, and lay down very comfortably. He said comfortably: "Yes, yes, do you want General Han to copy a few more copies of our marriage letter and let me carry it with me, so I can read it from time to time, or show it to others?"

The man holding her didn't speak any more, Fu Shijin thought he was too lazy to answer her teasing, and she was already a little tired after staying up late these two days doing woodcarving, lying in his arms, bathed in the brilliance of early summer The sunshine, apart from being a little hot, there is no other uncomfortable place, and I can't help but feel a little drowsy.

Just when her head was nodding and she was about to fall asleep, the man's mellow voice suddenly sounded in a low voice, "This idea seems good..."

Fu Shijin: "..."

Drowsiness is gone!

Ganqing this man has been silent just now, just thinking about whether this method is feasible!

……

After Fu Shijin gave the wood carving to the empress, the next day he heard that the empress had personally given the wood carving to Yuan Zhao during the dinner for Dayan's envoys.

Fu Shijin didn't know if the servant of the Yuan Dynasty was satisfied, but the other envoys of Dayan were obviously very satisfied and excited. Some of them even wrote a few poems on the spot, praising her ingenious craftsmanship and the broad mind of Emperor Daqing. .

After all, in the final analysis of this battle, Dayan lost, but not only did Daqing not put on a high-ranking appearance because of this, the emperor and empress of Daqing personally presented a wooden carving with Zouyu representing peace. Even if it is handed down to later generations, it is also praised by people.

The deal between Fu Shijin and Yuanzhao was already attracting much attention. After the empress gave the woodcarving to Yuanzhao, Xu Qing sent someone to spread the word about it among the people. Her reputation has steadily suppressed her limelight in solving cases.

Today, Fu Shijin dare not say that her wood carvings are the best in the world, but her reputation is absolutely incomparable.

Fu Shijin saw that it was almost time, so he asked Xu Qing to spread the word, saying that she had done too many woodcarvings in the past few months, and she was a little tired. In the next year, she would only do three more woodcarvings at most.

As soon as the news came out, there was a long queue in front of the door of Zhenbao Pavilion, not to mention that the threshold was trampled. Xu Qing was so happy from ear to ear, she decided to hold an auction to bid for Fu Shijin's three woodcarving spots .

It is conceivable that the value of Fu Shijin's three woodcarvings will only go up all the way. If it goes well, it will be enough for him to squander several lifetimes after this sum is done by ordinary people.

Because of this, Fu Shijin has been in a very high mood for the past few days, hiding in her room from time to time and counting her current savings. When she sleeps at night, she feels that her dreams are filled with the reassuring fragrance of money.

Moreover, because she said that she would only do three more woodcarvings in the second half of the year, her workload dropped sharply, and she was able to calm down and slowly train a few apprentices.

The few new apprentices she has recruited are also smarter and smarter than the other, especially Ah Qi and Qiu Lian. Besides being smart, they are willing to work hard and study hard. In just over a month, their woodcarvings are well done. That's it.

On this day, Fu Shijin gave them a routine lecture. Seeing that Ah Qi and Qiu Lian had quickly carved out the prototype of the pattern, he couldn't help but sighed with a smile: "It seems that I have a good eye for choosing apprentices. If this continues, it won't be long." Years, you will all be able to become teachers!"

Although Ah Qi had a poisonous mouth on weekdays, he was always very respectful to Fu Shijin, so he smiled embarrassedly and said, "Master taught me well."

Qiu Lian's temperament has always been cold and calm. Hearing this, she stopped what she was doing, lowered her head and said indifferently: "Thank you, Master, for your compliment."

Yinshuang's temperament was more lively, and she said with a grin: "Master's eyesight can be so bad! Master can even spot those vicious criminals at a glance, and it's easy to choose apprentices! I've never seen it." A woman even more remarkable than Master!"

These are the words in her heart.

Naturally, they had heard the rumors outside. If it wasn't for the fact that the master said that they could not tell the public that they were her apprentices for the time being, she would have wanted to run to the street to show off. Mrs. Fu!
Fu Shijin gave Yinshuang a funny look, "It's just that you talk a lot. I don't think you have solved the problem of human body proportions I told you a few days ago. Are you lazy and didn't practice these days?"

Yinshuang wrinkled her little nose immediately and said, "Of course I have practiced. My fingers hurt from practicing these days, but I don't know why I can't find the feeling..."

Fu Shijin shook his head helplessly, walked over and took the carving knife in her hand, and said, "I'll show you one more time, show me!"

After the afternoon lectures, the sun began to set.

Looking at the sky dyed orange by the setting sun, Fu Shijin looked in the direction of the gate, frowned slightly, and asked Baozhu beside him, "Chengyan hasn't come back yet?"

Xie Chengyan's progress is different from other people's, and Fu Shijin is dedicated to cultivating Xie Chengyan as soon as possible, so Xie Chengyan rarely attends classes with others, and only calls him over when Fu Shijin regularly reviews their works.

When she was teaching those children today, she called him out to buy a new batch of wood.

Counting the time, he should have come back long ago.

Baozhu shook her head and said: "No, this servant just wanted to talk to the lady about it, but the lady was very attentive in class..."

Fu Shijin frowned even tighter, and said: "Usually he can buy the wood in about an hour, but now it's almost two hours...Gold, silver, orbs, pack up your things, before we go back to the house, we will take a detour Let’s go to Hengchang Wooden Shop.”

Hengchang Wooden Shop is the wood shop where Fu Shijin often buys wood. The owner of Hengchang Wooden Shop and Xu Qing have been friends for more than ten years. It was Xu Qing who introduced the wood shop to Fu Shijin.

Although Fu Shijin later handed over the purchase of wood to Xie Chengyan, she also went there a few times in person at the beginning, and the shopkeeper there recognized her at a glance, and immediately greeted her with a smile: "Why is Mrs. Fu doing it in person today?" Are you here? Isn’t it usually that Mr. Xie Xiaolang who comes to place orders for Mrs. Fu?”

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Fu Shijin's heart sank slightly, and he took a breath and said, "You mean, Mr. Xie Xiaolang hasn't been to the store today?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, obviously some monk Zhang Er was puzzled, "I have been in the store all day today, and I haven't seen Mr. Xie Xiaolang."

Xie Chengyan went out for almost two hours, but he didn't even enter the gate of Hengchang Wooden Shop!
Fu Shijin's heart sank even further, he hurriedly bid farewell to the shopkeeper, and walked out quickly.

Baozhu who was following her was a little uneasy and said: "Lady, Mr. Xie Xiaolang will never be perfunctory to my wife's orders. Where would he go if he didn't go to the wood shop?"

Fu Shijin didn't speak, walked quickly to the side of the carriage, and then said in a deep voice: "Go and see Xie Chengyan's house..."

Before he finished speaking, a small stone rolled out of the side alley suddenly, barely stopping at Fu Shijin's feet.

Fu Shijin paused slightly, looked down at the rock on the ground, then raised his head, and looked at the narrow alley that gave people a sense of oppression for no reason.

At this time, the sun had completely set, and the sky was pitch black. In that alley, except for the lanterns hung by the shops on both sides of the alley entrance, and the bright moon in the sky, there was no extra light.

Therefore, even after Fu Shijin stared at that alley for a long time, there was nothing but darkness in front of him, and he couldn't see anything inside.

Xie Chengyan is not someone who doesn't explain himself, what's more, as long as it is her order, he will always carry it out meticulously.

He would go out for so long without even entering the door of the wooden house, or something happened to him suddenly, or something happened to him on the way to the wooden house.

This alley is next to the wooden row, and the small stone just now was obviously blessed by some external force, so it rolled from inside to her feet.

Fu Shijin unconsciously breathed lightly.

Because the goods sold by the wood shop are heavy wood, they are usually opened by the dock for easy loading and unloading.

This Hengchang Wooden Shop is no exception, because it is by the pier, far away from the busy city, and now it is night, there seems to be no boats on the river next to it, except for one or two boatmen who occasionally pass by. next to people.

What's in that alley?But Xie Chengyan is inside?
There should not be many people in the world who know about her relationship with Xie Chengyan. Who would use Xie Chengyan to hold her hostage?

Fu Shijin knew that the best thing to do now was to go back and ask someone to help, but thinking that Xie Chengyan was inside, and she didn't know what danger she was facing, her steps seemed to be frozen, unable to move at all.

Finally, she said in a low voice: "Seventeen, report this matter to your husband immediately."

He signaled Baozhu to stay with his eyes, and walked into the alley step by step.
