Uncle Guo

Liang Xuanchen went back to the house and lay down, but couldn't fall asleep because of tossing and turning.

Ah Xue came in to help him wash, and asked him what he would like for breakfast. On the [-]th watch, she got into the carriage and left alone. But nothing can be done.

Liang Xuanchen said: "What does that He Chengwang look like?"

A Xue said: "Only Thirteenth Master is handsome in this world. I don't see any other men as beautiful or ugly, they are all like a lump of mud."

Liang Xuanchen was amused by her, "Thank you for the compliment, but it's useless for you to push me hard."

Asue said: "Master Thirteen, you have never tried a woman, how do you know if a woman is good or not? Maybe you tried it once, got the good news, and from now on you will eat meat and vegetables."

Liang Xuanchen said: "The friends around me, those who married women later basically had to come back to find a man, and I advise those who have never tried a man to try it out. Guess what? Most of them never touch each other again. It's a woman. Tell me, do I still need to try?"

Axue turned her nose in anger, "According to what you're saying, our women have no other use besides bearing children and carrying on the family line?"

Liang Xuanchen said: "You are not an object, how can you use it? There are more men who love women in this world, and there are many men who are better than me. You can't make a name for yourself with a blind man all day long." He tapped the palm of his hand lightly with a white jade and purple bamboo stick, "Your words have reminded me, I see that you have nothing to do with me all day long, why don't you help me to set up a restaurant outside, it can also be used in business negotiations."

A Xue said: "Aren't all the Goulan tiles in Yangzhou bought by the Thirteenth Lord?"

"It's a place that's open for business. It's for making money. After all, there are so many people. I went out for dinner with He Chengwang last night, but he was targeted by his enemies. I thought about setting it up in a more elegant way. Only familiar guests Just take it there for dinner and drink. You also go to see a little bit of the world and meet some people, don’t wink at a blind man all day long.”

Axue said angrily: "Are you pushing me to be a concubine to some merchant and rich man?"

Liang Xuanchen said: "Your ambition is to be the concubine of a wealthy merchant?"

A Xue said: "Or is it the concubine of a prince or noble?"

Liang Xuanchen flicked his sleeves, "I'll let you be the proprietress and manage contacts. If you take over from me in the future, you will be as rich as a country! Do you want any man by then?"

A Xue blushed, "Master Thirteen taught me, A Xue understands!"

"Go find Feng Qi for some money, and accompany me to the shop at night."

"Why do you go at night?"

Liang Xuanchen covered his head: "I want to sleep during the day!"

Ashe walked to the door, then turned around again, "Since Mr. Thirteen has money in his hand, why is there still no man he likes?"

Liang Xuanchen picked up the pillow and threw it at it.

At sunset, Liang Xuanchen woke up, took a quick bite to eat after washing up, and took Axue to see the shop.

Said to visit the shop, the places I went to were very remote. In the forest by the Slender West Lake during the day, the place where men and women talk about love, but in the evening, it was deserted. I walked along the painted boat, went to the small pier and walked a short stone corridor. There is a lonely courtyard at the end, and Ah Xue thinks it is eerie and scary.

Liang Xuanchen couldn't see it, so he said: "It's better if there are fewer people, the building will be bright when the lights are lit."

A Xue said: "At that time, a group of you blind people will set up a poetry club and compose poems here, right?"

Liang Xuanchen said: "Your sharp mouth is getting stronger and stronger. It doesn't matter whether it's big or small. I like this courtyard. If you want to buy it, you can talk about it."

"Since you have money, you are looking for a courtyard just to have a private meeting with your lover. You have no one in the wild, so you want me to help."

Liang Xuanchen said: "What is the use of me supporting you?"

A Xue said: "Yes, yes, I'm going to find out who owns this courtyard, and negotiate with the lowest price. I also want to decorate this place in a poetic and picturesque way, and let the Thirteenth Master and the distinguished guests appreciate the love and moon."

The two walked around the yard, Ah Xue supported Liang Xuanchen and didn't cry out for fear, she just introduced the scenery that can be seen from front to back, left and right, and how to arrange it. She had a clever idea, and Liang Xuanchen was very satisfied. I feel that she has not fooled around with me these days.

"Master Thirteen, do you really like that He Chengwang?"

Liang Xuanchen said: "He has soldiers to support, I need to find a backer to do business, mutual benefit, it's that simple, where do you want to go?"

"But I saw that you admired him very much. You said that you would give me to him as a concubine, but he refused. The expression on your face at that time was simply joy-comfort and joy."

Liang Xuanchen rolled his eyes, "I think he is mediocre."

A Xue rolled her eyes, "You can't see whether he is good-looking, even if a peerless beauty like me is in front of you, you can't appreciate it."

Liang Xuanchen said: "I know you are good-looking, when the Thirteenth Master has someone he likes, you are not allowed to rob me of a man."

A Xue was taken aback, and almost laughed so hard, "Are you still afraid that I will rob you of a man?"

"I'm afraid, the people I liked before were snatched away by women. None of them are peerless beauties who can steal away my sweetheart. If you go out, do I still have a reason to win?" Liang Xuanchen said dejectedly , Ah Xue couldn't bear it anymore.

"If you really like He Chengwang, not only will I not rob you, but I will help you."

Liang Xuanchen looked calm, "I don't like him, and he may not like me either."

"Of course he likes you!" Ashue said firmly.

“How come you see?”

"He doesn't even like people like me, so he must only like people like you."

Liang Xuanchen shook his head angrily, "He doesn't like you, he can only say that he is not feminine, but he may not like me."

Axue really wanted to hold him in her arms and love him a lot, "Do you think that you are useless if you are blind? No one will value you anymore? You..."

"Although I can't see it, I can feel whether other people like me. He not only doesn't like me, but also treats me indifferently. I think he might hate me and despise me." Liang Xuanchen snorted With a voice, "The fourth brother speaks bad things about me everywhere, my reputation must not sound good to his ears."

The weather wasn't cold, but Ah Xue shivered. Ever since she knew Liang Xuanchen, Mr. Mu was her heaven, her land, and her god. She never imagined that such a person would worry about such insignificant things. .

The two returned to the painting boat, Liang Xuanchen was still worrying about gain and loss, Ah Xue felt more and more that he fell in love with He Chengwang.

"How long has it been since you slept with a man?"

Liang Xuanchen sighed: "Axue, after teaching you so many books, why do you still speak so vulgarly when you speak?"

"If you like someone, if she's vulgar, it's true temperament, and if she's rough, she's cute and cute. Thirteenth Lord doesn't like me, so he naturally thinks I'm vulgar. If He Chengwang asks you like that, I'm afraid that Thirteenth Lord wants to have a crush on you." Rippled."

Liang Xuanchen said: "There is a difference between men and women. Girls should be as gentle as water to be cute."

Axue sighed quietly: "It's a pity that I am a woman. If I were a man, I would not only be favored by Lord Thirteen, but also be free to say some rude and obscene things to you."

Liang Xuanchen still remembered that when she first came here, she was always frightened and weak, and her voice was like a mosquito humming. Now that she has been kept by her side for a while, she has become a villain.

"Axue, I can't teach you well. I have to find a woman who will beat you with a rattan cane every day and slap your ears. Let me see if you are honest or not."

When Ah Xue heard this, her eyes turned red, and she wiped her tears and said: "You have been spoiling me all day long, and raised me as a young lady, but now you have spoiled me like this, and regretted it again, saying that you want to take the rattan every day." Slap me. You don’t need to ask your mother-in-law to do it, you can do it yourself, I can bear the pain.”

"Okay, okay, scaring you, I really cried."

"I might as well throw myself into the water. If I make it in time, I will be a boy in my next life and come to serve you, okay?"

"What stupid thing did you say?"

Liang Xuanchen saw that she really liked him very much, and felt that it was not a thing to stay by his side all the time, so he thought of a way, bought the courtyard that he had seen tonight, and invested in repairing it, specially bringing some distinguished guests who had business dealings Come for dinner and drinks.This place is taken care of by Axue. She has become the proprietress, welcomes and sees her off here, and when she is busy all day long, she doesn't think about getting married with her good deeds.

Liang Xuanchen wrote to ask He Chengwang to come over for a drink when he was free, but He Chengwang seemed to be busy with military affairs, and he didn't reply to the letter for ten and a half months.

"Didn't you write anything else?" Liang Xuanchen asked Shuikong who read the letter to him.

"No more." Shuikong flipped the paper upside down and answered truthfully.

Liang Xuanchen was a little disappointed, thinking that He Chengwang must not have that kind of intention towards him.

"A man in his early twenties, young and promising, neither married nor concubined, what is he doing?"

"Is there someone around him already?"

Liang Xuanchen's face darkened, "Why do I care about this, really!"

Shuikong laughed and said, "Could it be that the third master has taken a fancy to this He Chengwang?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just curious."

It doesn't matter that Liang Xuanchen can't take He Chengwang to board a boat on a moonlit night to have dinner, drink, chat and laugh, he still has a lot of things to do, and many business partners to meet.Ashe took care of the courtyard in an orderly manner. In front of the guests brought by Liang Xuanchen, she changed from being fierce and tricky in private, and became a gentle flower of speech, and a versatile person who is good at singing and dancing.It didn't take long for someone to ask Liang Xuanchen to cut off his love and exchange Axue's body contract at a high price. However, Liang Xuanchen knew that Axue didn't look down on these ordinary people at all, so he rejected them one by one for her.

Not long after, Liang Xuanchen took people to dinner, and there was a young lady serving at the wine table, and that young lady was encouraged by Ah Xue, and made a fierce effort at Liang Xuanchen, wanting to pounce on Liang Xuanchen shamelessly.

After dismissing the guests, Liang Xuanchen asked the young lady a few more words, then called A Xue over and scolded him severely.

"Are you actually engaging in flesh and blood business here?" Liang Xuanchen asked.

A Xue complained: "There are so many distinguished guests coming and going in this Yangzhou city, Thirteenth Master has brought them here once or twice, and this place has been missed. Since the guests come, I can't catch them. But I recruited some boys and girls my size to serve drinks. Of course, I chose good-looking ones. The Thirteenth Master asked me to be the shopkeeper, but I am too young to convince the public. They are distinguished guests, so it’s not easy to offend them. Naturally, we have to socialize with guests occasionally, but eat, drink, and gossip, and gossip about the family. If the Thirteenth Lord doesn’t like me showing up in public, then I will return to serve you That's right. How did it become a skinny business?" After speaking, he began to cry, and then called the young lady who had just served drinks, "Mei Hua, come here, and I'll ask you, I asked you to hug the Thirteenth Lord Did you hug it?"

Mei Hua was so frightened that she quickly fell to her knees: "Back to Master Thirteen, it was Sister Axue who said that you don't like women. I think Master Thirteen is handsome, well-spoken, and admires him very much. This is beyond the norm. The young one is in the brothel When I grow up, I am used to love between men and women, but I don't know how to be reserved, it's a small mistake!"

Liang Xuanchen turned his head and asked Ah Xue: "The child you bought from a brothel?"

A Xue said: "Didn't you also buy me with money? We are all poor children, and we have no hope of climbing high branches in this life, but we live in this building, and now there are dozens of people living there." The grace of the Thirteenth Lord. However, we need to open our mouths to eat. It’s not enough to just go in and out here, and the business will naturally start. We don’t want to wait for the Thirteenth Lord’s reward, and we always want to be self-reliant.”

She spoke pitifully, but Liang Xuanchen couldn't be blamed. He knew that it was inevitable for these beautiful children to engage in flesh and blood business, and he intended to give more money to support these people. They are still happy to take advantage of it in the name of little love and love, and they can't prevent such things.

"You guys like to wear gold and silver, eat well and drink spicy food, don't even talk about self-reliance, it looks like I can't afford it. Anyway, you flirt with rich young masters, and you fall in love with each other. I don't care. I just want to I can wish you an early marriage into a rich family."

A Xue also knelt down, "Master Thirteen doesn't like us, so why don't others like us?"

Liang Xuanchen didn't come up in one breath, and raised his cane to hit her.
