Feng Mou Tianxia: General Yuhua is very enchanting

Chapter 43 The Lantern Festival
Yan Xi was stunned, a person who makes clay figurines in a shop can earn so much, but it is true that this month is special, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course you can sell clay figurines that make my appearance, but I Conditional."

The peddler was a little nervous, after all, it was a general who made the conditions.

Seeing that the other party was so nervous, Xi Xi smiled kindly and patted the other party's shoulder: "You have to give me a commission for the clay figurine of my appearance. To tell you the truth, don't look at me as a general. I'm actually quite short of money. Well, the salary given by the emperor is barely sufficient for the food and drink in my house. If I have a drink in a restaurant outside, it will not be enough, so I want to earn some extra money. Since the business of this thing is yours, I will also smoke it. Not much, [-]% of the money you earn is fine, you earned it, not [-]% of the selling price of your things." After all, I let him sell the clay figurine of my appearance, and I really didn't do much. I'm really sorry to ask for more.

The peddler looked at Yan Xi's smiling face, gritted his teeth, and replied, "Deal." General Huo Yun's smiling face is indeed very pretty, and he should be able to fetch a good price.

The peddler started to pinch, and while he was pinching, Yan Xi said: "Of course, because this is a business after all, if you see your fellow pinching my clay figurines in the future, you can stop them pinching, and I will help You testify." This method of buying one's own appearance is actually learned from Han Yongchang, it is said that he takes a bonus for every portrait of Huamanlou, so it's no wonder that money fan can make so much money.

After the peddler finished making the clay figurine, Yan Xi was also taken aback. Just now, when she saw the other clay figurines he made, she thought they were cute, but now she saw this clay figurine that resembled her very much, and she couldn't help laughing: "Ah, it's so cute. , your craftsmanship is really good. You can just give the bonus directly to the steward of my house, someone called Xunfan. I will take this first, and the money for this will be deducted from the bonus." He said that he couldn't put it down. Looking at this cute clay figurine, this clay figurine is actually cuter than his appearance.

Seeing that Yan Xi liked it so much, the peddler laughed, and relieved his previous nervousness: "The general likes it, so this is a small one for you."

Yan Xi's eyes widened: "Really?"

The peddler scratched his head: "Really, this item is not particularly valuable, but I feel that my items are better than others, so I dare to ask for a slightly higher price."

Yan Xi frowned, and picked up the clay figurine, which was the first toy-like thing she got, and her steps seemed to become much lighter along the way.

When he arrived at his mansion, it was still as deserted as before. After he asked Liusu and saw that he agreed, he asked the young masters in the backyard to pack up and leave.Only Xun Fan and himself are left in the entire compound, but now Xun Fan is actually much easier than before. The previous young masters are all ordered to be served by others. Without servants, Xun Fan can only do it by himself. Start helping them with some things, a good housekeeper will almost become their servants.

"Xun Fan. What are you doing here?" Yan Xi looked at Xun Fan suspiciously, it seems that he is also very busy now, looking for work by himself all day, so he can't be free.

When Xun Fan saw Yan Xi, he took off a corner of his clothes from his belt, then bowed forward and said, "Now that the snow has melted, I want to tidy up the yard and plant some fruits and vegetables here after the spring, so as to save money to buy." their money."

The corners of Yan Xi's lips twitched, her salary was used to eat and drink by herself on weekdays, but there was no way, Han Yongchang, that iron rooster, every time I went to Jinqiu Tower to look for him, the tea that the two of them drank was the same. I have to pay by myself, because I have to ask him every time, so it is only natural to pay some money, but places like Jinqiu Tower are expensive, and it hurts a lot of middle-income people like me. I almost bet myself there after running a few times.

Seeing the sweat on Xunfan's forehead, thinking of the days ago, she had mixed feelings about her doubts about him. She stepped forward, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the sweat on Xunfan's forehead: "A few days ago, I'm sorry." Saying these things in a complicated way, Yan Xi was sure, either this guy was not sent by ordinary people, it was the first time she had seen someone who was born as a housekeeper so good at farming, or he really followed him voluntarily. Is it really so lucky that Bai picked up such a good housekeeper?

Xun Fan lowered his eyes, and took the handkerchief from Yan Xi's hand: "This, I will wash it for the general later."

Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, and then pulled up her skirt: "Tell me, if you have any physical work, just leave it to me, I'm still strong."

Seeing Yan Xi's movements, Xun Fan couldn't help but hastily stepped forward and pulled down Yan Xi's skirt: "You don't need to do this, general, just leave it to Xun Fan."

Yan Xi shook her head, then waved her hand: "It's up to you, I'll go back." I always feel that some of Xun Fan's actions are very similar to a person, but who can't remember, it must have happened a long time ago, shake Shaking her head, Yan Xi went back to the room and lay down. Finally, it was a long time since she could have a rest time. After all, she had been busy with the affairs of Wu and Yue before, and she was busy at both ends.

When she heard the knock on the door, Yan Xi had already fallen asleep for a while, she opened her eyes and asked, "What's the matter?" Anyway, Xun Fan was most likely the one who knocked on the door.

"Dinner is ready, is the general coming to have dinner?"

Yan Xi looked out of the already dark window, she seemed to have slept for a long time and hadn't even had lunch, she sat up, her voice was sleepy and hoarse: "Got it, I'll go right away."

Putting on a men's green robe, tied a belt, and a navy blue jacket, men's clothes are better to wear, shaking her head, Yan Xi pushed open the door, outside the door stood Xun Fan , the clothes on his body seem to be thinner.Yan Xi stuffed the hand stove into Xun Fan's hand: "Okay, let's go."

Xun Fan followed behind Xun Xi, step by step, this scene always feels inexplicably familiar, Xun Xi turned around and looked at Xun Fan suspiciously, this is a completely unfamiliar face, but why does he always feel a little familiar shadow.

Sitting down and eating a simple home-cooked meal, Yan Xi turned to Xun Fan who was beside him: "There is no one else today, you should sit down and eat too."

Xun Fan nodded, took a bowl of rice for himself, went across to Yan Xi, and started eating.Xun Fan is a very strange housekeeper. As a housekeeper, he can be said to be excellent, but on the other hand, his behavior is actually a bit out of courtesy, for example, he would let himself wipe his sweat, and would sit down to eat with himself like this, There is no sign of evasion, and I don't always feel like a servant.

Yan Xi put down the empty bowl, thought for a moment, then shook her head, after all, it was like this, she was just taking care of her own unseemly mansion, there was no need to force it too much.

Yan Xi watched Xun Fan tidy up the dishes, and said, "Tonight, let's go out for a stroll, isn't it the Lantern Festival?"

Xun Fan looked up at Yan Xi, with a hint of joy in his eyes, he nodded: "I'll go get ready now."

Xi Xi stood up, that's why she wore men's clothes today. In recent days, some people always surrounded her when she went out, which was a bit troublesome. Today's Lantern Festival, there is also the custom of wearing a mask. Putting on men's clothes and wearing a mask will not Got someone's attention.

After a while, Xun Fan brought a thick cloak, put it on Xi Xi, and said, "Let's go, General."

Yan Xi raised her lips: "Don't call me General later on the street, just call me Young Master."

Xun Fan nodded, and the two went to the street, picked up the mask at a small stall, Yan Xi hesitated and didn't know which one to choose, looked at Yan Xi hesitating.Xun Fan suddenly pointed to a red oval mask on which only two eyes were exposed. Where the eyes were exposed, there were peach blossoms painted on the lower corners of the eyes, as if they were real, but it was a bit weird to wear such a mask on the face.Yan Xi took it over to look at it, and smiled slightly: "That's it." The father and concubine seemed to like wearing red, and always liked to use red brocade for clothes and hats, but she didn't have a clear preference for these.

Xun Fan wore a plain white mask on his face, Yan Xi couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw him, he put the lantern in his hand aside, after all, when he left the house and entered the night market, it was all brightly lit, There is no need for a lantern.

The two looked at the products that looked particularly eye-catching against the candlelight, and couldn't help but glance at each other. They didn't have much money on them.Xun Fan leaned over and leaned closer to Yan Xi's ear: "Young Master, if there is anything you want, tell me."

Yan Xi was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, looked at the booth selling fireworks and said, "After all, it's also the Lantern Festival, so go and buy some cheapest cigarettes and fireworks."

Xun Fan nodded: "Young Master, please stay here for a while."

Quietly waiting for Xun Fan, Yan Xi suddenly thought of how she thought of the familiarity of Xun Fan's gestures, his actions were like his father and concubine, although he had passed away for some years, plus After the age of 12, he can't stay in the palace for a long time. After so many years, he has somewhat forgotten what he looks like, but after all, he is the person who has raised him for so many years, and he will still think of him after a long time.But why does Xun Fan look like his father?They don't have the slightest similarity in appearance, and the father is also an only son, so is it just a simple coincidence?
When Xun Fan came back, he held a bundle of incense sticks and fireworks in his hand, and Yan Xi asked strangely, "Why did you buy so many?"

Even though Xun Fan was wearing a mask, he couldn't see his expression, he just nodded and pulled himself up to the river, then stood by the river and untied the rope that tied the cigarettes and fireworks.

I borrowed a stick of burning incense from the person next to me and handed it to Yanxi. Yanxi took it, lit a stick of incense and fireworks, and the bright light like a star illuminated the surrounding area. Looking at this light, The face under the mask of Yan Xi could not help but smile.In the palace, fireworks are forbidden. In wooden palaces, fireworks can easily cause unimaginable consequences.
