Jinyi Night Walk

Yang Wenxuan's mansion is in the east city of Qingzhou. The mansion is very big, but it is not very grand.Because the Yang family has not made a fortune for a long time, although they are already among the top ten richest people in Qingzhou, their background is always inferior to those families that have been passed down for several generations.In addition, it is not advisable to carry out large-scale construction during the filial piety period. Now that the filial piety period has just ended for one year, there is no time for renovation and expansion.

Of course, this is only the reason on the surface. Although Yang Wenxuan has done a lot of business in the past two years, it is impossible for him to accumulate money so fast. He was able to become one of the top ten richest people in Qingzhou in just two years. Many properties under his name belong to Prince Qi's Mansion.Even so, the grandeur of Yang’s Mansion is much more magnificent than that of many rich and wealthy families. The gate with red lacquer and copper rings, the stone steps, the horse stone on the left side of the gate, the light pole hanging on the right side, the black tiles and white walls, the high walls are deep and deep. The courtyard, with cornices and wing corners, is magnificent.

When the carriage arrived at the door, Xia Xun's heart beat involuntarily.Success or failure, in one fell swoop, success, from today onwards, I will be the master of this portal, if I fail...

Hold your breath, you must hold your breath, this is the first level and the most difficult level, no matter what, I have to pass!As long as I pass this test, even if someone has doubts about me in the future, he will not dare to admit it rashly. "

The gates of Yang's mansion saw the young master's carriage and horses, and they had already opened the main gate to welcome them out happily. The four guards and the handlebars entered through the side gate. Xia Xun walked into the gate accompanied by Zhang Shisan. A servant in a green coat and a hat happened to be passing by, and when he saw the young master coming back, he hurriedly stood still to salute, and then someone rushed in to report the news.

There are not many servants and maidservants in the Yang family, much less than the wealthy families of the same wealth, because the common people are not allowed to keep slaves and maidservants, so the former servants of the Yang family used the names of helpers and nanny They were hired, so it was impossible to hire too many people. Last year, after Yang Xu passed the exams and gained fame, the Yang family began to hire servants in a legitimate manner.But Yang Xu is often away and doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the family. Xiao Guanshi, who is in charge of the overall situation of the mansion, is also an extremely frugal person. In his opinion, it is very expensive to hire a large number of servants to put on a show, so the servants in the mansion are still Not much.

Xia Xun's heart was pounding, and he forced himself to enter his mansion calmly. Zhang Shisan had already drawn the architectural layout of the house in the mansion for him to see, but after all, it was just some flat lines. Now that he was in such an intuitive and concrete environment, he was unfamiliar with it. The feeling still arises spontaneously.Fortunately, with Zhang Shisan's company, Xia Xun, a counterfeit, would not wander around blindly in Yang's residence.

The pavilions and pavilions in Yang's mansion are majestic and majestic, the trees and rocks are lush and lush, and the scenery is very beautiful, but Xia Xun is not in the mood to appreciate it at the moment. A corner of the red building is exposed among the sparse flowers and trees on the opposite side, and the cornices cover it.Xia Xun knew that this was his residence.

"Calm down, remember, you are Yang Wenxuan! You are Yang Wenxuan!"

Zhang Shisan's slightly nervous and stern reminder came from behind him. Xia Xun used self-hypnosis and kept imposing psychological hints on himself in his heart. As soon as his breathing stabilized, he heard a joyful voice shout: " Is the young master back?"

Xia Xun stopped to look, and saw a man in green robe walking over quickly. This man was over forty years old, of medium build, with clear features, and the hair under the square scarf and the three beards under his chin were neatly combed , wearing a lavender cross-neck gown, which was also starched neatly and neatly. His sleeves and the clean white lining were also spotless, and he exuded a sense of shrewdness.

Xia Xun recognized his identity with just one glance. Xiao Jingtang, the manager of the Yang family, had seen this person's head portrait countless times.

"Uncle Xiao, I'm back."

Xia Xun smiled peacefully at him, and unfolded the folding fan made of bamboo bone cocoon paper.

Yang Xu left Jiangnan with his father when he was young. At that time, his mother had passed away. Because Yang's father had no fame and already had heirs, he did not meet the conditions for taking concubines according to the law of the Ming Dynasty. In Qingzhou, Yang Xu has no relatives other than his father.When he was young, his father was doing business all day long, so he had no time to take care of him. Yang Xu was brought up by Guanshi Xiao, so he was very close to him.

Manager Xiao was full of joy, and was about to bow to salute, when he was startled for a moment. Xia Xun's heart tightened, but his face was relaxed. He looked at himself up and down, and smiled, "Why? Is there something wrong?"

Manager Xiao shook his head and laughed: "The young master has been away for the past few days, but he has sunburned a lot. Old Xiao just saw the young master for the first time, and he felt a little strange. It's ridiculous, ridiculous, hehe..."

When Guanshi Xiao saw Xia Xun, he really felt like he was facing a stranger. In fact, he didn't find any flaws. It was a completely mysterious feeling.However, Xia Xun's dress, appearance, manners, demeanor and even tone of voice at this time are all exactly the same as Xia Xun's. Even if there is a difference, it is very small. The young master's personal companion is Zhang Shisan. No matter how rich Guanshi Xiao's imagination is, he never imagined that the young master went out for a tour and changed people when he came back, so the feeling of surprise just flashed in his heart, and then he threw it into his head. later.

Zhang Shisan's already tense face relaxed, but Xia Xun sighed sadly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Only after experiencing life and death can we understand the impermanence of life. Ting Xiang is a woman I love very much, but Because of falling into the water..., her death made me depressed for many days, and I still can't let go of it when I think about it."

Hearing that the news of Xiang Xiang's accidental drowning in Gushui River has been reported back to the mansion, Guanshi Xiao knew that his young master was a passionate seed, and when he saw that it aroused his sadness, he couldn't help but secretly regretted his slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said: "Death cannot be resurrected, Don't be sad, young master. It's only been a few days since young master left, he's tanned and looks thin, young master, don't blame Lao Xiao for talking too much, this money, after all, is something outside the body and can't be earned all the time.

You see, young master, in just two or three years, the young master has earned such a large fortune, which is enough to comfort the master's soul in heaven.The young master should think about lifelong affairs now. As the saying goes, there are three types of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the greatest. The young master should return home sooner and marry the young wife. Our family is too sparse. The young master has many sons and grandchildren, and the incense will flourish. Only when I see the master can I have an explanation..."

Manager Xiao was so emotional that he couldn't help but stretched out his sleeves to wipe away his tears. Xia Xun hurriedly comforted him and said, "Look, you see, talking about my sadness originally made Uncle Xiao cry, okay, okay, don't talk about it." Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

Manager Xiao hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't say anything, it's all Lao Xiao's fault. The young master just came back, he was full of dust and dust, and I got up again. Come on, please young master to take a bath first, change clothes and rest for a while. After a while, Lao Xiao went to the kitchen to order them to prepare a bigger dinner, and after dinner, Lao Xiao would tell the young master about the recent situation of the business store at home."

Xia Xun said with a smile: "Uncle Xiao has always been in charge of our family's business. Do I have any worries? It's not too late to talk about these things tomorrow." Then he said to Zhang Shisan: "After dinner, go to the study Come on, there are things you need to do."

"Young Master, Shisan will leave." Zhang Shisan agreed, quickly met his eyes, and stepped back.

Manager Xiao accompanied Xia Xun to the red building, and shouted loudly as he walked, "Xiaodi, Xiaodi, hurry up and wait for the young master to take a bath and change clothes."

He pushed open a door, which must have been her daughter's residence, but there was no one there, and Guanshi Xiao couldn't help muttering: "Where did you go crazy, this dead girl?"

While looking for his daughter, he said: "Every time the young master leaves, my little Di is the one who misses the young master the most. Xiaodi likes to cling to the young master since she was a child. When the young master leaves for half a month, Xiaodi doesn't like tea. I don't want to eat, people are thin..."

As Guanshi Xiao said, he pushed open a door and looked inside, his jaw suddenly dropped, and he couldn't say a word anymore.I saw a square table at the entrance, with a big fruit plate piled up on the table, a little girl with hair hanging down was sitting behind the table, holding a big juicy peach in both hands, gnawing her cheeks full of juice. There were also a few peach, pear, and apricot pits that were not cleaned properly...

The door opened suddenly, and the little girl in the room was startled. She held the peach in her hand in amazement, her mouth was full of fruit, and her little face was bulging, and the three of them just stared at each other. Looking at it intently, the little girl's big weird eyes first looked at Xia Xun, then at Guanshi Xiao, and then turned around in surprise, like a little squirrel holding a pine cone.

Xia Xun was amused by her cute appearance, and Xiao Guanshi immediately put away his embarrassing expression, and said in a deep and thick baritone voice like the voice-over of "Animal World": "Master, look, this girl is not good at tea and rice. Si, I was so hungry for a moment that I hid here to eat fruit."

The girl swallowed the flesh hard in her mouth, and unceremoniously exposed his lie: "Father, who doesn't think about food and drink? He is so hungry that he could swallow a cow now, but he is on a diet to lose weight and lose weight. I don't dare to eat even if I want to..."

Manager Xiao blushed, and shouted angrily: "Stinky girl, I'm so ignorant, the young master didn't know how to go up to greet you when he came back. See if you're used to it, and help the young master to take a bath and change clothes."

The little girl jumped up, and flew to Xia Xun like a happy little swallow with her red skirt in her hand. She squatted down neatly, and sweetly called out, "Xiaodi has seen the young master!"

It was only then that Xia Xun was able to take a serious look at Xiao Di's appearance. This is a cardamom girl, wearing a white silk double-breasted jacket, a red skirt, and a small lake green skirt around her waist. She looks neat and easy, very cute .Her beautiful and lovely young girl's face, with curved eyebrows and small mouth, is suitable for joy and anger, a pair of big eyes are black and white, and are lively and energetic, with a light and playful smile.

In terms of fat, she is a little fleshy, but the girl's body is like a willow branch that has just been twirled. As she gets older and her figure grows, the phenomenon of baby fat will naturally disappear, not at all. She is so concerned about those who need to go on a diet to lose weight. It seems that the little girl has already begun to care about her appearance and figure. Yes, girls in this age will marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen, so they are precocious.

Not allowing him to look at him any further, the little girl took his arm affectionately, and said happily: "Master, why did you come back? You said you were only going to live in another village for two days, but why did you go to Xiishipeng Village again?" I went, and it took so many days. Master, let me tell you, on the third day after you left, our little flower gave birth to five cubs, and our little flower gave birth to five cubs, who are older than those on the street. Xiao Hei of the Wang family has given birth to another one, do you want to go and see?"

"I……"

"Ah! By the way, when it comes to the old Wang's family, the old Wang's in-laws, Gou Yuanwai, bought two girls two days ago. One is ten years old and costs four pennies. The other is seventeen years old. She is a very handsome sister. , and she is a good female celebrity, and she spent eighteen pennies. Guess what, after two days, that sister took the golden hairpin and silver ornaments in Mrs. Gou's room and ran away secretly. Gou's family went to find someone Yazi settles the score, and the person who dares to love Yazi doesn't know the details of this girl, she is a liar at all."

"Oh, she..."

"I just told my father, we can't be so careless as Gou Yuanwai in the future. You see, Sister Cuiyun, Aunt Liu, and Big Niu are all locals, so you can rest assured if you know the basics and use them. Don't hire foreigners with unknown origins. Brother Big Niu had a fight with the second idiot a few days ago, it seems that they both like sister Cuiyun. What do you think they are fighting? I don't like them, the result is miserable, and I was punished by my father..."

Manager Xiao couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Okay, okay, you're the only one who talks a lot, and the young master just came back, and you still have to make noise, so hurry up and wait for the young master to take a bath."

"Oh!" Xiaodi agreed, turned around and was about to leave, and suddenly glanced at Xia Xun again, but this time she seemed to have discovered something suddenly, she let out a surprise, tilted her head and stared at Xia Xun like a bird watching someone, A look of hesitation gradually appeared on his face, Xia Xun pretended to smile calmly and said, "What are you looking at, young master, have I become more handsome?" As he spoke, he pinched his chin and deliberately put on a poss.

Xiao Di looked left and right, frowned slightly, and suddenly moved closer to him like a puppy, and began to sniff.Manager Xiao's face turned black with anger, and he yelled: "You stinky girl who has no rules! Why don't you wait for the young master to take a bath and change clothes~~clothes~~~clothes~~~"

Manager Xiao's voice was really loud, and the roar echoed in the room, which startled Xia Xun. The little girl was obviously terrified of her father's "lion's roar".Manager Xiao said to Xia Xun with some embarrassment: "Young master, this child Xiaodi...Actually, it's just because she was overjoyed to see the young master coming back... In fact, she usually pays great attention to her daughter's appearance. Everyone praises her for being a lady, she doesn't show her teeth when she smiles, she doesn't move her skirts when she walks, her demeanor is steady, and she doesn't speak loudly..."

Before Lao Xiao finished speaking, Xiaodi's penetrating voice came from the courtyard: "Where are you going to die! Prepare hot water quickly, the young master is going to take a bath~~~~"

Xia Xun was embarrassed, it turned out that the Xiao family's lion's roar would be inherited.

Manager Xiao froze slightly, and said to Xia Xun weakly, "I...Old Xiao is going to prepare dinner for the young master." After speaking, he ran away feeling ashamed.
