C38 Third Master of the Qing Dynasty
Under the bright candlelight, Fu Hui drank wine with Xiao Letian as Master. Today, he was in a good mood. As for Fu Hui's cup, Xiao Letian was stuffy.
Fu Hui also drank a few cups along with him. Her cheeks were flushed red. It was unknown if it was because she was too excited for Brothers or because the alcohol was too strong, or for some other reason.
Fu Hui was a little distracted. She recalled her long experience as a runner starting from the new year. Tears welled up in her eyes when she thought of the most unbearable part. How could she, who was Big Sister, not feel heartache when her Brothers did not know what to do in Xi Ling.
Before she thought about it, she felt it would be better to give Brothers another job. Being in the Tomb Protection Army at such a young age, what future prospects could he have? However, when Fu Hui started to operate the operation, the sisters who had been good friends in the past all started to act sloppy. Each of their expressions was more bizarre than the last.
Fu Hui knew that now that the Daqing was thinking of doing the next job, especially those tasks that required too much work, they had no choice but to use silver s to lead the way. For example, Fu Hui had thought of asking the royal kitchen to acquire a position a few years ago, but did not expect that news would spread out from the palace.
Look, this is still on account of the Royal family. Besides, don't think that it's too expensive, this is the price that Eunuch An personally set, no one can change it. Plus, an outsider wanted 100,000, it was already a huge honor to give Fu Hui a 20% discount.
Poor Fu Hui and her sister. Even if they sold the house, they wouldn't be able to get as much as 80,000 taels of silver. They could only give up in regret. But the other seats are better? The selling officials of the Daqing have already become an industry, with a fair price being fair and honest, it is an absolute guarantee that you will be able to provide after-sales service, as long as you have silver s, there will definitely be an official position suitable for you.
But to Fu Qing, the silver was the hardest. minor official Fu Qing, who was bought with several thousand taels of silver, could not do it. If Qing San Ye, who had attacked Title, did Qing San Ye's work, he would become the laughingstock of Beijing. However, a job that was slightly worthy of status, would cost at least forty thousand taels of silver, how could Fu Hui even afford it!
Not only was it about the money, but Fu Hui's pride was also humiliated. While she was begging everywhere, she was also hinted to to to sleep by those stinking men more than once. Looking at Old Prince and those old men, Fu Hui almost vomited. Although she was an extrovert, she wasn't a despicable woman. He wouldn't be able to sell himself out.
The problem of finding jobs for Brothers troubled him for half a year. In the end, when Fan Lian found out the difficulties of the siblings and sponsored 50,000 Current silver, things finally turned for the better.
Today, however, Prince Kung had personally summoned Brothers. Furthermore, Xiao Letian had confidently said that there was good news. How could Fu Hui not be excited? After three rounds of wine and five courses of food, just as the Westerner's clock was about to point to nine o'clock, there was a sudden commotion at the gate.
Fu Hui stood up immediately and held the door tightly for a few steps. At this moment, Fu Qing, whose face was completely red, rushed into the room in a flustered manner. The happiness on his face couldn't even be stopped.
"Sis!" Prince Kung gave me the title of the fourth stage yamen of Prime Minister, Zhang Jing, and told me to take office in three days. He specifically researched the matters of Industrial Zones mentioned by Xiao brother and even asked me to enter the palace tomorrow. " With that, he rushed to the table and gulped down three mouthfuls of wine.
At this time, the outside of Flower Hall was already packed with servants, most of them were the children of Fu Qing's family. Upon hearing this good news, everyone exploded, crying while covering their faces in excitement.
"yamen Prime Minister!" Fourth grade, Zhang Jing. Wasn't that the same as walking beside Prince? "With the help of Prince, our family is finally going to flourish …"
"Compassionate Guan Shiyin, Bodhisattva, tomorrow you will go to the temple to enjoy the incense, bless young master's path to greatness!"
Fu Hui was already drunk. She looked at her Brothers, then looked at Xiao Letian who was drinking with his eyes half-closed, and suddenly seemed to understand something. She straightened her face and walked over to Xiao Letian. "Thank you, Xiao brother."
"Haha, don't thank me. This can only mean that there is wise man in the palace! However, I have to tell San Ye in advance that yamen Prime Minister is different from Xiling Guard. The water there is unfathomable and unfathomable.
"I'll listen to you, I'll listen to whatever you say!" Qing San Ye poured a cup full of wineglass and toasted to Xiao Letian, "Actually, what Prince said is very clear. He wants to use me to get Xiao brother to come up with more ideas." Originally, the Industrial Zones's method was suggested by you. Since you are not willing to take the lead, then let me help you realize your dreams … "Cheers …"
Xiao Letian gave a wry smile as he toasted the cup. He thought to himself, "Stupid San Ye, do you really think that this is a good deal?" You'll know when you take over. This is a smelly mud pit that you can't even imagine. The forces here can do whatever they want to compete for power. Sooner or later your ideals will be worn out.
Since Fu Qing still had to enter the palace tomorrow, he couldn't drink too much of the wine, so Xiao Letian took his leave early. Fu Hui tried everything to persuade Xiao Letian to stay, but he only replied, "Tomorrow is the temple fair at the City God Temple. I've long since decided to go take a walk with tiger chick. We can't delay any longer. Goodbye …"
When Fu Hui heard this, she had no way to keep him. She could only send more people to protect him. What was unexpected was that under the protection of the two experts Wang Huaiyuan and Sima Yun, as well as the protection of the Sun family's janitor, there was actually a Black Man that was slowly approaching them.
In the pitch black night, the duo walked forward shakily in the sedan chair. Xiao Letian was dozing off and there were a total of six men guarding outside the palmetto. However, on the roof to their left, there was a man dressed in night clothes who was leisurely following them. The light in his eyes was as bright as the stars.
What was even more bizarre was that this man didn't only care about Xiao Letian and his group. His peripheral vision was still locked on a figure on the opposite rooftop. He was too familiar with that figure. "Lao Ying?" Nan Shaolin is a rare martial arts genius, why would he appear in the Northern Capital City? Didn't they say that he had joined long hair? "Wu Lin has not seen him for more than ten years …"
Black Man knew that his goal was the same as Lao Ying's, Xiao Letian, in the alley. However, it was obvious that this man's kung fu was better because Lao Ying didn't notice his presence on the way.
Just as Xiao Letian's palmetto turned a corner and saw the lanterns in front of the Fan Mansion's entrance in the distance, Black Man, who was on the rooftop, suddenly felt a chill and a wave of killing intent attacked him from behind. When he dodged the fatal blow like a leopard cat, he discovered that Lao Ying had actually flashed behind him.
"Eh? "Fusang Ninja Arts, Lao Ying, you actually learned the Void Shadow Technique, no wonder you were able to sneak behind me?"
"Who are you? Why are you following me? " Lao Ying glared at Black Man. However, what he got in return was the contemptuous smile on Black Man's face, "If you defeat me, you will naturally know the answer …" As soon as he said that, he pounced on Lao Ying like a cloud.
In the dark night, a few dark clouds covered the moonlight. In the pitch-black roof of Capital City, it was as if there were two additional silent leopards.
The intertwining shadows were floating around in the Northern Capital City, floating from the rooftops to other people's gardens, then climbing up to the tall walls of the courtyard, passing by the long street behind the night watchmen. Other than a few cats and dogs barking crazily, they didn't disturb anyone.
The iron-like eagle claws crushed the brick on the wall like tofu. Black Man's iron fist hit against the thick tree trunk, causing wood shavings to fly everywhere. When the punches and kicks collided, the dust on the ground would always be blown away like a shockwave.
At the end of the fight, Lao Ying and Black Man were like two giant birds as they flew in the sky above the Northern Capital City.
This was a battle of experts that no one knew about. Compared to Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun, their martial arts were like a three-legged cat. From the beginning to the end, they did not even notice the existence of the two experts.
The next morning, Xiao Letian was woken up by tiger chick. Today was the Northern Capital City temple fair's day, it wasn't that the little girl hadn't visited the place before, but it was completely different when she went with her lover to the temple fair.
Under the protection of Xiao Hexin, Wang Huaiyuan, and Sima Yun, the pair of young men and women quickly arrived at City God Temple Street, which was located to the north of the bustling city entrance. Seeing this, Xiao Letian could be considered to have been completely subdued by the ancients. How was this a temple party? This was a purely festive occasion.
On both sides of the street, there were all kinds of stalls. There were all kinds of food, including oil, salt, sauce, pots and pans, selling skills, dancing Lion and the unique western style of the late Qing. The entire street became a sea of joy.
adults called the children to make a ruckus, and the sounds of bargaining could be heard incessantly. Mixed within the sounds were the fragrances of snacks, large bowls of tea, rotten meat noodles, thin skinned wontons, and rolling donkeys … Xiao Letian, who had all kinds of appetites, was drooling.
tiger chick was so excited that she was like a three year old as she took out the change from her purse like flowing water. She even took away a lot of the foreign currency on Xiao Letian's body.
Wonton! "Wonton with a thin skin, I love this taste the most …" With that, tiger chick ran forward. "Owner, two bowls of wontons …" Xiao Letian looked at tiger chick and shook his head with a smile. He turned around and saw Xiao Hexin and the other two following him within five steps.
"The three of you should also eat a bowl. Today, I will treat you to a meal …" Just as Xiao Letian turned his head and was about to walk towards the wonton stall, he suddenly became so shocked that his hair stood up. How could tiger chick disappear in the blink of an eye?
Xiao Letian looked left and right, thinking that the little girl went to buy something, but he couldn't find it.
"You three, come over here! Where did tiger chick go? Why is it that when I turned my head, there was no one there? " At this moment, Xiao Hexin and co. were also stunned. They rushed over and looked around, but they really couldn't find anyone.
"Owner, where's that Little girl who asked you for wontons?" Xiao Letian grabbed the owner's sleeve and asked with a stern voice.
"This... What Little girl? I heard Girl shout "two bowls of wontons", but no one came over! "I thought I heard wrong …"
This was bad. Something had really happened. tiger chick had lost her.
