Liang Qingyi, who was only thirty-four years old, was in the prime of his life, and his mind was extremely flexible. A county magistrate condescended to invite him to drink tea? joke! He is different from those cottages based on the mountains and gathered by the same clan. After all, he is just a boat company, and there is no essential difference from a car and horse company.
Moon Bay is naturally long, so people living by the water built boats to ferry them, and got rid of the previous life of cutting wood, hunting, fishing and farming. With the prosperity of post roads, more and more people gathered here to beg for life, Personnel components are complex and they have no roots.
Therefore, if the government wants to move him, it is very easy, no matter whether it is a native official or a low-ranking official. Although Liang Tsing Yi is a tyrant in Moon Bay, it is only compared to those common people who rely on water for their food. Moon Bay is located at the junction of Dawanshansi and Huxian County. He doesn't have much contact with both sides. What does Huxian county magistrate ask him for
Liang Qingyi immediately restrained his haughty look, took two steps forward, cupped his hands and saluted: "It turns out that it is the magistrate of the county, Liang Qingyi, a grass-roots man, has eyes but does not know Mount Tai, please forgive me. My lord is coming to Moon Bay, that is Qingyi's." It is an honor to invite your lord to sit down in the Burrow and let Tsing Yi show some courtesy."
Ye Xiaotian smiled slightly, beckoned to Hua Yunfei and others not far away who were also dressed in plain clothes, and then followed Liang Qingyi, Liang Qingyi took a quick glance and saw more than ten strangers standing on the pier, dressed in different clothes A merchant traveler is not like a sailor, but with his eyesight, it is not a good match at first glance.
Liang Qingyi's heart was even more trembling: What good can an official do if he seeks him out? A night owl enters the house and comes here for nothing! Accompanied by Liang Qingyi, Xiaoxin invited Ye Xiaotian into his yard on the pier.
This courtyard looks ordinary from the outside, but once you set foot in it, it is quite different. The hall is magnificently decorated with moon-eyed obsidian bead curtains, pear wood-lined sapphire table, incense sandalwood couch, and silk-embroidered painting screen, all of which are exquisite, luxurious and elegant.
Although Liang Qingyi is the proprietor of a boat company, he is the king among these 100,000 mountains, but after all, he is located in the pass of the post road, and he sees many guests from all over the world, so he is by no means an ignorant and ignorant rich man. He is very proud of the careful arrangement of wise people.
But at the moment when Ye Xiaotian was invited to sit up, Liang Qingyi, who didn't know why he came, was very apprehensive, and there was no sense of self-respect. He carefully sat down at the bottom, called the maid to serve tea, leaned forward and asked cautiously: "Lord County Chancellor, Caomin is just a boatman who lives by the water, how can He De get into your eyes, sir. I don’t know if your lord is here today, if you have any orders, as long as the grassroots can do it, I will serve you wholeheartedly.”
Ye Xiaotian turned his eyes and looked at the several senior stewards who were standing in the courtyard, who dared not step into the hall without Liang Qingyi's order. Liang Qingyi understood, and immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, they are all the helpers that grass people need. , they all come from people who have been with my Liang family for more than 30 years, you can trust them!"
Ye Xiaotian nodded, and said: "This is the best! Do what you tell them to do. The news of my official arrival here must not be leaked out, otherwise..."
Ye Xiaotian stared at Liang Qingyi, and said calmly: "I don't mind, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to you."
Liang Qingyi was secretly startled, and wanted to wave his hands to tell those stewards to step down, but at this moment, he became more cautious, and first confessed his crime to Ye Xiaotian, then got up and went down the hall, summoned those stewards to his side, and urged them earnestly, Only then did they disperse.
After several ship managers left, Liang Qingyi rushed back to the living room, and said with a smile on his hands, "My lord, the grass people have already given instructions. If you have anything to do, please give me your instructions."
Ye Xiaotian held a teacup, crossed his legs, smiled slightly at Liang Qingyi, and said, "Master Liang, I want to introduce a few people to help you in your accounting room. It will only take a few days, and you don't need to pay. See … How about it?"
"ah?"
Liang Qingyi was in a daze as she listened...
Ye Xiaotian and his party left Tiger Pass "in despair". Probably because Ambassador Pang has raised his vigilance to Ye Xiaotian's little tricks, Ye Xiaotian felt that he couldn't find any clues, and the huge account books made people even more desperate, so he left "resentfully".
Envoy Pang Da still looked lukewarm, and sent him out of Tiger Pass very politely, and returned to the pass with a twist of his butt before their convoy had gone far.
Ye Xiaotian knew that there were still people watching them, wanting to see if they really went back to Hu County honestly. Therefore, Ye Xiaotian really went back to Hu County in a proper manner, and when he passed Moon Bay, he didn't even stop to take a second look.
On the second day after he returned to Hu County, he killed his carbine, put on a white dragon fish suit, and quietly sneaked back to Moon Bay, and only then did the scene in front of him happen. Ye Xiaotian had to come in person, although Liang Qingyi was a man in the grass, but without him, others might not be able to restrain Liang Qingyi.
Ye Xiaotian is the county magistrate, so of course he couldn't disappear for too long, soon he quietly left Moon Bay and returned to Hu County again. When he left, Hua Yunfei stayed in Moon Bay with six warriors, and four old men stayed with them, the leading old man was named Nan.
The four old men were arranged by Liang Qingyi to enter the accounting room to check the account books in recent years. It is said that they were hired by Liang's proprietor from other places at a high price to prevent the accountant from engaging in fraudulent activities. As for Hua Yunfei and the six warriors, they became Liang Qingyi's guards.
Liang Qingyi is the king of Moon Bay. Wherever he goes, everyone will only focus on him. Who cares who the guards around him were yesterday and today, how many people were there yesterday, and how many people are there today? …
※※※
In just over two days, on the evening of the third day, Hua Yunfei hurried back to Ye Mansion. Hua Yunfei rushed to the back house in a hurry, and saw Tao Siniang walking towards her, Hua Yunfei subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but they had already bumped into each other, so they had to stand still, with an unnatural expression .
Ever since Tao Siniang hugged Hua Yunfei, Hua Yunfei's feelings towards Tao Siniang suddenly became different. In the past, Tao Siniang was just a gentle and virtuous big sister in his heart, but now... Hua Yunfei dare not go Looking at Tao Si Niang's appearance, she lowered her eyes and said shyly, "Si Niang, is my eldest brother here?"
Although Ye Xiaotian never punished Hua Yunfei, Tao Siniang always felt that he owed him a favor. Tao Siniang didn't know that this boy had some strange emotions towards her. In that era, except for those who raised children and married daughters-in-law in some remote areas, the mainstream marriage in the whole society was that men were older than women, and women were older than men, which was unimaginable.
Tao Siniang is seven or eight years older than Hua Yunfei. Although a woman in her mid-twenties does not look old, it is when her daughter's family is most mature. From the inside out, she looks like a peach that is ripe to the right size. In Tao Siniang's heart, she just regarded Hua Yunfei as a little brother.
Seeing that it was Hua Yunfei, Tao Siniang greeted him warmly, and said: "Brother Yunfei, the master is in the flower hall, talking to Yaoyao, you go over."
"Oh! Good! Good..."
Hua Yunfei hurried to the side as if he had been pardoned, and slipped past Tao Siniang. When the two passed shoulder to shoulder, they smelled the faint feminine fragrance of Tao Siniang's body, Hua Yunfei panicked, his feet fluttered, and his toes suddenly tripped over a pebble, almost tripping him over.
Thanks to Hua Yunfei's agility, he jumped forward hastily, not daring to stop for a while, he staggered forward and only recovered his composure after seven or eight steps away. Tao Siniang was startled at first, thinking that he was about to fall, she almost cried out, when she saw that he was walking steadily, she shook her head and smiled, thinking: "The one who is reckless, after all, is a child who hasn't grown up."
Hua Yunfei didn't dare to turn his head back, and when he stood still, he couldn't help but clenched his fists secretly, feeling regretful in his heart: "Hey! I'm usually fine, why when I saw her... this time I'm ashamed in front of Si Niang , will definitely be laughed at by her..."
In the flower hall, Ye Xiaotian was talking to Yaoyao. Others were worried that the child would not like to study, but Yaoyao was too well-behaved and worked hard every day, Ye Xiaotian was afraid that it would ruin her little body, so he always wanted to persuade her to study less.
Ye Xiaotian said: "Did you go up to the mountain with the big guy and Fuwa to play today? Those two guys must not be able to bear being bored at home, you have to take them out for a walk often."
Yaoyao happily said: "Yes, people take them to the back mountain to play every day. But brother, don't worry about boring them, they two sometimes go up the mountain to play by themselves, and don't come back at night. Elder Dong went to the mountain to catch bugs. Every time, they follow them every time, even having fun, how can they be bored."
Ye Xiaotian touched her head, sighed and said: "They are not boring, but you are a little boring. Girls, they can write their own names and know a few numbers. Even if they are full of knowledge, they can't. Go to the No. 1 Scholar Examination, what are you doing so hard for?"
Yaoyao pouted, and said: "If you don't take the champion exam, you can also understand etiquette, shame, and general knowledge. I think our family is run by four mothers inside and out, and others don't understand if they want to help. Read more books, and when you grow up, you will be able to help Brother Xiaotian."
Ye Xiaotian laughed, pinched her little face and said: "We Yaoyao are so good, we have learned to be housekeepers at such a young age, don't worry, even if you don't know anything, my brother will not kick you out, wait for you to grow up Yes, once my brother marries you, he will receive a huge dowry gift. Wahahaha... "
Yaoyao knew that he was teasing herself, so she crossed her hips and stared at him, and said unconvinced: "You are the county magistrate, when Yaoyao grows up, maybe my brother will become a member of the party, so I am sorry not to give a copy A big dowry? I still want to receive a dowry, hum! hum... "
Ye Xiaotian patted his forehead, "suddenly realized" and said: "Yes, no wonder people say that girls lose money, hey! Lost, lost, really lost..."
"Okay you! My brother guards the gold and silver in front of the gods, and he is so stingy..."
This is not an exaggeration, the seedlings are isolated in the mountains, and they are very poor in material, but they have money, but they are never stingy with enshrining Gu gods, just like the herdsmen in some areas are extremely poor, but they enshrine the rich gods in temples. To flow oil. The accumulation of thousands of years has made the family of the god religion really rich, not to mention there is a gold mine under the rule of the god religion that is not known to the outside world.
Yuanyuan scratched Ye Xiaotian's itch, and Ye Xiaotian laughed and avoided, when Hua Yunfei walked in. When Ye Xiaotian saw Hua Yunfei, he quickly grabbed Yaoyao's little hand, stopped her playfulness with his eyes, and couldn't wait to ask Hua Yunfei: "Have you gained anything?"
