Great Blue Night Watchman

Chapter 159 Xicheng Courtyard

He walked slowly towards the corner of the garden. Lu Youwei slowly raised her head when she saw a reflection in the sun, and was suddenly startled: "Grandpa..."

Lu Tiancong stretched out his hand and gently touched her hair: "Are you sick again?"

"No, Grandpa, Weier is fine."

"You have been weak and sick since you were a child. At the turn of spring and summer, you have to take better care of your body... Well, the peach blossoms in Xishan are in full bloom. Don't you particularly like peach blossoms? Go and see them someday to relax."

Lu Youwei's whole body was shaken...

She was wondering why she applied to her grandfather to go to Xishan to see peach blossoms. He made an appointment to go to Xishan in three days. She had to seize this opportunity. She wanted to see him in the mountain.

But she is different from Xie Xiaoyan and Bi Xuanji. It is very difficult for her to go out. Even participating in activities such as poetry gatherings, her grandfather is not allowed to participate in them, let alone going to the wild?

Who would have thought that she didn’t mention it at all, but grandpa mentioned it first and asked her to go to Xishan to enjoy the flowers...

Could it be that...could it be said that Grandpa had...that meaning?

This thought came suddenly, and Lu Youwei's heart beat wildly. The lingering illness in her body seemed to be more than half healed.

"Thank you, Grandpa, I...I'm going to Xishan on Qingming Festival, okay?"

When talking about Qingming Festival, she captured all the changes in her grandfather’s eyes.

Lu Tiancong nodded: "During the Qingming Festival, when we worship our ancestors, outing in the wild is also a kind of remembrance of our ancestors. It is most suitable. Go ahead."

There has always been a saying in Beijing that wealth lies in the east and poverty lies in the west. What does it mean when scholars move to the north? The east city is full of rich families, the west city is relatively poor, and the north is the Confucian Temple and Gongyuan.

In the western city, business is not good, but there is also prosperity once every three years. Because housing prices here are cheap, most students who go to Beijing to take exams will choose to live here. A straight avenue in the middle of East XC District, invisibly The students in the city were divided into different classes. The students from the east side were all well-educated. They were either rich, powerful, or had prominent relatives in the capital.

The students from the west are from poor families.

The Qu family was in the east city. Lin Su took the three girls, turned around in the air, crossed the middle avenue, and landed in the west city.

Walking along a river, near the base of the city wall, there is an inn with a pretty good name, Yuelai Inn.

Lin Su strode in: "Shopkeeper, do you have a house with a single door and a courtyard?"

"Yes! There are three types, one is a three-room one with a separate kitchen and toilet, and the other is..." The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he looked at the two people in front of him. The young master and the maid in front of him were all dressed in luxurious clothes. What do you think? They don't look like people who should come to Xicheng. Are they going in the wrong direction? Never mind him, as long as he can win.

"What's the best configuration?"

"The best...Young master has really found the right place. If it were another inn, the best configuration would be the one I just mentioned. But the small shop is different. The small shop received a big shot some time ago, specializing in I spent a lot of money to tidy up a courtyard and build a high-rise building..."

He walked into the courtyard with Lin Su and Lu Yi. After passing through the moon-shaped door, he found the small courtyard. This small courtyard was indeed very beautiful, with rockeries, streams, and a three-story building. Downstairs is the kitchen, and upstairs is the bedroom. Standing on the top of the building, you can still see the Western Mountains in the distance. Lin Su and Lu Yi looked at each other, and Lu Yi nodded slightly.

"Okay! That's it!" Lin Su said, "Live here for a month!"

The shopkeeper was ecstatic: "Sir, the price of this courtyard is a little higher. It originally cost a hundred taels of silver a month. If you really want it, how about eighty taels?"

"I'll give you 500 taels!" Lin Su said, "Just give me four of the best girls."

The shopkeeper almost fell down.

500 taels?

500 taels can buy half an inn!

"Sir, this..."

"Here's the banknote!"

Lin Su held his hands together and slapped the five hundred taels of silver notes into the shopkeeper's hand.

The shopkeeper immediately went out to look for the girl. Green Yi smiled and said: "Sir, your old habit of spending too much money will cause trouble. They asked for eighty taels, but you still paid five hundred taels. I guess the shopkeeper's heart is deep. I'm muttering, are these four girls here for you to use, or are they here for...playing with?"

Lin Su smiled: "At least if I throw out these five hundred taels of silver, the shopkeeper will be in awe of our small courtyard and won't lure people in. All I want is peace and quiet."

This is true. This world is generally still an era where money matters. If noble people live in a small courtyard, there will be fewer chores.

As for money, is there any difference between five hundred taels and fifty taels?

"Do you really want peace and quiet?" Luyi expressed doubts: "I always feel that your real purpose is not to prevent others from finding you."

Lin Sudao: "So, my little baby in green is smart!"

Green Yi was praised and was so happy that her eyes turned into crescent moons: "What is your purpose?"

What purpose?

I want to strike a blow at those people and give them a sense of crisis. Only when they have been searching for several days and cannot find me will they realize that they actually have no bargaining chips and their expectations will be lowered.

Green Yi: You still plan to talk to them after all.

yes!

We can still negotiate, but it’s not the way they draw the line for negotiation, it’s me who draws the line! If those people are still aloof and want to take the initiative in negotiations, I'm sorry, I can flip the table at any time and disappear from the world!

Lu Yi's eyes were gleaming and blurred: "I really didn't expect that you would be such a person. I always thought that literary geniuses are not good at strategies."

"Isn't this nonsense? I'm not good at strategy. How could a peerless master like An Ye sleep with me? A princess like you would be my little wife?"

The green man jumped up: "Sister Ding, can you bear this?"

"Forbearance? I have never known what it means to endure!" An Ye fell from the sky: "I will take care of him!"

He grabbed Lin Su directly, and the next moment he disappeared, and he didn't know where he went to clean up.

Lu Yi looked blankly at the sky and the earth, then went up to the bedroom on the third floor. When she opened the door, she saw Sister Chen who was still sleeping. She admired Sister Chen's charming sleeping posture and her particularly beautiful face up close. Suddenly I heard a voice coming from next door...

Lu Yi was stunned.

Dark night, is this what you want to deal with?

Pull him onto your belly and tidy him up?

He didn't do much, but you were out of breath...

It's broad daylight!

An hour passed. Lu Yi blushed and couldn't get up with her heart beating. She looked at the sleeping Sister Chen with a little envy. Sister Chen, it's so nice to be asleep. I'm so tortured...

The sound next door finally stopped, An Ye came out, opened the door, and Lu Yi glanced over, her mouth slightly opened, An Ye's face was radiant, her face seemed to have been washed by holy water, it was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Have you finished cleaning up?" Lu Yi asked her.

"I was careless and missed, and he took care of me!" An Ye sighed...

Green Yi gave her a stern look and handed her a bronze mirror.

An Ye picked up the mirror and looked left and right. His lips and corners were all beaming with joy...

That night, Sister Chen was still sleeping. Lu Yi ate the delicacies sent by the inn, but she was not satisfied with the food. After eating, she stayed in Sister Chen's room for a while, and came to replace her in the dark night. Lu Yi blushed and her heart beat deep. He walked toward his room with one foot in front of the other, but his mind was still not where he was. Where was his hand? Where are the arms? If you don't take me away, I will go to sleep alone...

Just when she opened the door to her room, a pair of hands stretched out from behind and hugged her waist. Luyi was heartbroken, but she struggled gently: "You are tired today, don't..."

Haha, if a woman says no, men in the 21st century know what to do...

The next morning, Lu Yi looked in the mirror and became more beautiful.

Sister Chen also woke up, touching her long-lost calf as if in a dream, she was finally normal.

Sitting on the roof of the building in the dark night, looking at the four girls below who started working early in the morning, the expression on their faces was a bit strange.

"What's wrong?" Lin Su sat down next to her.

An Ye sighed softly: "I suddenly felt a little confused, what is happiness..."

Um? Lin Su is so surprised, have you actually started thinking about such profound philosophical issues?

An Ye leaned next to him and began to sigh...

Your happiness is playing in green clothes, and the happiness of green clothes is looking at the beautiful face in the mirror. Where is Sister Chen's happiness? They have a pair of normal legs, but do you know what the happiness of these four girls is?

What is it?

An Ye said that their happiness is that after we finished dinner, there were still four bowls of leftover rice in the rice pail.

Lin Su's hand holding her hand stopped stroking.

An Ye slowly turned around: "These four girls are all refugees outside the city. Last night, when you were playing in green clothes, they came to ask me if I could give this leftover food to them? I nodded, and they That excitement, do you know what they did with the leftovers? They packed them carefully in paper bags and sent them out of the city overnight to their relatives who were starving to death outside the city."

Lin Su was extremely sad.

Rich families are full of wine and meat, and people are freezing to death on the road. When he read these two lines of poetry, he read them from the perspective of condemning the powerful. But now, he has become a powerful person in the poem. He really deserves to be criticized.

The two girls brought the breakfast provided by the inn. Lin Su chewed on the steamed buns, stretched his neck, and tried his best to swallow. Finally, he swallowed it and sighed:

"I also know that in this bastard era when others eat wild vegetables as their main meal, I can't despise the hard-to-eat cornstarch..."

The three women raised their heads at the same time and looked at their husbands: "When it comes to this, there should always be a turning point...but what?"

"But I have money... There is a philosopher who said it well, money is meant to be spent. If you don't spend it, you will grow hair..." Lin Su waved his hand: "Pick up Haining's complete diet, let's go to the Let’s run all the way down the shameful road of corruption..."

Sister Chen smiled: "I have known for a long time that you are not used to eating outside. I have brought the iron pot and seasonings with me. I will buy some food..."

She took out her little tender feet that had just grown out, ran downstairs, and ran outside. The more she ran, the happier she became. Soon, she came back with a large number of various dishes, and she circled around the stove endlessly. Feeling the novel vitality brought to her by a new pair of legs, starting from lunch, Lin Su once again enjoyed the same corruption of Haining...

With fine clothes and fine food, one never gets tired of eating...

After lunch, I took a nap on Sister Chen’s lap, happily and carefree...

But for dinner, there was a change. The four of them ordered two large buckets of rice. They only ate one bucket and the remaining one. An Ye directly told the four girls: "There is too much food. It is a pity to waste it. You can use it to eat." Bar."

The four girls looked at each other with a strange feeling in their eyes. They thanked each other at the same time and divided the rice in the bucket.

That night, the meal they took away was not leftover food, but fresh and clean food. For the refugees, there is actually no difference between leftover rice and clean food. They can both fill their stomachs, but they have completely different feelings towards people. the same.

This subtle change gave the four girls a completely different understanding of the owner of the courtyard.

Lin Su lives here without wind and waves, but some people are so anxious that they quickly move into the house...

People from the Lu family and the Zuo family went door-to-door in the DC area to make secret visits, but could not find Lin Su at all. They began to panic. They did not come to the XC area. The main reason was their habitual perception that Lin Su was a literary person. It is impossible for a genius who is not short of money to live in Xicheng.

People in the Qu family are also anxious. To be precise, it's the people in Qu Jiahui's family who are anxious.

Due to the literary contract, Qu Jin cannot participate in this palace examination. If he is forced to participate, as long as he steps into the Confucian Temple, his literary roots will be destroyed, and the literary world and literary world will be shattered!

Of course, he can also take part in the next scientific examination, but three years is too long. No one can guarantee that nothing will happen during these three years. The Qu family is in a special situation. Maybe he will be eliminated in one or two years. If someone else swallows it and misses this scientific examination, it is very likely that everything will be changed beyond recognition.

Qu Jin couldn't bear it.

His father Qu Jiahui, who regarded him as his entire hope, was also unable to bear it.

The only person who can relieve Qu Jin is to slap his butt and walk away, showing a posture that doesn't give you a chance at all. They must face the seriousness of the problem.

Qu Jiahui begged his father three times. The first two times, his father listened to him coldly. The third time, he simply closed the door and refused to see him.

Correspondingly, Qu Wendong increased the frequency of conversations with Qu Jiajie.

All this made Qu Jiahui secretly afraid. Could it be that his father really had the idea of ​​giving up on Qu Jin?

If it were a family of officials in the past, it would have been almost impossible to abolish the direct descendants and establish concubines. But now the Qu family has stepped out of the official family and started its business path. Among merchants, ability is more emphasized than direct descendants. The difference between common people...

No! We cannot let this series come to an end just like this.

Qu Jiahui began to get close to his brother Qu Jiajie, who he had suppressed for many years. After two days and two nights of showing his goodwill, Qu Jiahui finally gave him a word: Brother, I know you are here because of Jin'er's matter. At best, we are only relatives with Mr. Lin. He doesn’t even pay for his father’s debt. What weight can I say... Hey, now that you have found my head, I can’t pretend not to have seen it. Let’s just... I'll just put aside my old face and look for my son-in-law...

Qu Jiahui was overjoyed. You, as his father-in-law, came forward and were as important as Mount Tai!

Second brother, for so many years, my eldest brother has been unfaithful to you. After this incident, we will learn from the Lin family brothers and work together as brothers...

Qu Jiajie nodded and said, Brother, the children don’t know the difficulties faced by the Qu family. You and I have to know that if the Qu family is divided by them, they will eventually swallow up everything. It’s not just you and me who need it. Brothers and sisters are of the same mind, and so are the three generations of disciples!
