The autumn harvest is over.
Although there are too many places, it is inevitable that there will be some small mistakes, but fortunately, it has been successfully completed.
When the autumn grain was finally harvested, Fan Jinchuan was also peeling off a layer of skin. He returned to the county office and rested for three full days. The first thing he did when he woke up was to find Fang Fengsheng.
Unlike him, Fang Fengsheng has been living a leisurely life these days, reading books, practicing calligraphy, and getting fatter.
"Brother, are you practicing calligraphy?"
When Fan Jinchuan arrived, Fang Fengsheng was practicing calligraphy, and he walked to the table.
Feng Sheng said: "Yes, my lord."
"Brother, are you still angry at being a brother?"
"How come, how dare I be angry with adults."
"You never called me your lord before."
Feng Sheng didn't speak.
Fan Jinchuan looked at the words on the table, and praised: "My brother's words are strong, fresh and refined, really good."
Feng Sheng glanced at him helplessly: "My lord, instead of watching me practice calligraphy here, you might as well go and see if there are any unfinished business. During the time you went to the countryside, a lot of business has been accumulated in the yamen. After all, there are some things Neither I nor Liu Xiancheng can help you deal with it."
Fan Jinchuan looked at her in embarrassment: "Then I will go to work first."
After he left, Zhiqiu came up: "Master, are you still angry with Mr. Fan?"
"Why am I angry with him? One or two of you are weird, I just practice a word, and you can get angry at me? No more practice, Gou inspector invited me to watch a play, and I went out."
…
The best theater building in Taizhou City is Anqing Building.
At this time, the Anqing Building was full of guests, and on the stage in the middle, a drunken concubine was being staged.
The one playing Concubine Yang has a delicate figure and a mellow singing voice full of charm. At this time, he was drinking his second cup of wine, covering his face with a fan, holding the cup lightly in his cherry mouth, and looking at him with affectionate eyes, it really makes people want to live and die for him.
"Let me see, that Xuanzong is clearly on the stage, but Concubine Yang's heart is off the stage." Feng Sheng teased, shaking the folding fan lightly.
Gou Qing leaned back in the chair, holding the wine glass in one hand, when he heard this, he just laughed and didn't say anything, just drinking.
After Zhao Gongqiao met by chance that day, Feng Sheng met him again, and Gou Qing offered to buy her a drink, but she couldn't refuse. If someone invites you to drink, you will naturally invite them back, so that you will be familiar with each other after going back and forth.
Gou Qing put the wine glass on the table and said with a smile: "I heard that the county lord came back from outside. I thought Master Fang wouldn't come today, but I didn't expect it to happen."
"Your Excellency, when you come back, you should deal with the accumulation of official duties. I can't help you with these. Besides, I have already made an appointment for inspection, so I can't miss the appointment."
Gou Qing put his arms on the back of the chair behind Feng Sheng, leaned over and asked, "Master Fang, what do you think of this little Taohong?"
He got so close that Feng Sheng could smell the alcohol on his body.
Feng Sheng glanced at him, and said: "What did the inspector Gou ask? ?”
Gou Qing didn't expect Fang Fengsheng to say that, he held his forehead and laughed: "Master Fang is straightforward."
"A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and I don't dare to take what others like. I still prefer beauties. As for this kind—" She glanced at Xiao Taohong on the stage, and said, "Beauty is beauty, but it's a pity that it's a man."
"What's the problem with men and women?"
"certainly… "
At this time, a voice sounded in vain: "My dear brother!"
Feng Sheng looked over and said in surprise: "My lord."
Naturally, Gou Qing also saw Fan Jinchuan, and without standing up, he cupped his hands: "My lord, a rare guest."
Fan Jinchuan glanced at Gou Qing, then turned his attention to Feng Sheng, whose cheeks were flushed slightly: "Master Fang, I have business to look for you, and I didn't expect you to be here."
"Business?"
"I'm going to check it out, I'm sorry." After finishing speaking, Fan Jinchuan pulled Fang Fengsheng up, and the two of them left the Anqing Building.
It's already the beginning of the lights outside, and the sky in late autumn has begun to cool down.
Fan Jinchuan went to look for Fang Fengsheng again after finishing his official duties. Hearing that she and Gou Qing had an appointment to watch a play, he immediately turned pale with shock and came over.
He came here on horseback, and he only had one horse. Naturally, he couldn't ride another horse when he returned, so he threw the horse in the theater and asked someone to deal with it when he returned.
"Brother Fang Xian, how did you meet Gou Qing?"
"The inspector can be regarded as a colleague of the yamen. Isn't it normal to get acquainted with each other?"
It is indeed normal.
Fan Jinchuan glanced at her hesitantly, not knowing where to start.
Feng Sheng was born with fair skin, once she drank alcohol, her cheeks would be slightly flushed, which can be called Xia Fei's cheeks. It would be fine if he didn't have that thought, because of Gouqing, Fan Jinchuan couldn't help but look at it with a scrutiny, and finally understood why Gouqing came to 'provoke' Master Fang.
"Brother Fang Xian, you don't know that Gouqing has, has..."
"have what?"
"Longyang is so good!"
Feng Sheng blinked: "How did your lord know?"
"I've heard people say it."
"That must be a misrepresentation. I have not been in contact with Gou Xunjian for a short time, but I didn't see this."
Fan Jinchuan said anxiously: "That will let you see? He treats you..."
Feng Sheng moved closer and asked, "What about me?"
"There are bad intentions for you!"
Feng Sheng laughed, shaking the folding fan again and again: "Your Excellency, I really misunderstood, I really didn't feel that the patrol inspection had any bad intentions for me. The world is used to listening to rumors, so how can you make such a mistake?"
"Everyone in Taizhou knows that Gouqing likes to be an opera singer. Do you always know what it means to be an opera singer?"
"Understand what?"
Looking at Fang Fengsheng's smiling eyes, a picture suddenly flashed in Fan Jinchuan's mind.
This incident happened when the two met before, and he didn't see the exception later, and he was busy with county affairs, so he temporarily forgot about it.
Thinking of those two bookboys, Fan Jinchuan felt a chill.
"...such a thing of splitting peaches and playing, erodes people's will, and cannot be seen..."
Could it be that brother Fang Xian has such a habit that he treats Gou Qing as normal, or it may be that the two have a tacit understanding long ago and just wait for everything to come to fruition.
Fan Jinchuan suddenly felt that he couldn't face Fang Fengsheng, but because the two of them were walking together, they couldn't go first, but they suddenly fell silent.
Seeing him like this, Feng Sheng didn't understand, but he didn't ask any further questions. When they returned to the county office, the two went back to their rooms to rest.
