The empress dowager's decree and rewards were sent directly to the Li family's other courtyard, no matter how stupid Li Sheng was, he understood the empress dowager's implication—

Let people go back.

The meaning behind this was not only disclosed to Li Sheng, but also to the officials of the whole Zhejiang Province. From then on, no official would dare to intervene even if Fei Yu killed people in full swing.

When Fei Yu came in, it was a small green cloth sedan chair carried by two people, and when she went out, it was a float with two horses.

The expression on her face was not much different from when she came, but upon closer inspection, there was still a lot of relief in her eyes.

Li Lian picked her up in front of the Li family's other courtyard. When Fei Yu came out, Li Lian wanted to say something. After this calamity and half a month's separation, she had too many things she wanted to say to Fei Yu, so these emotions were squeezed out of her mouth. On the other side, I didn't know how to vent it for a while.

Finally, she lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Sister, I'm sorry."

Fei Yu raised a hand and placed it on Liu Lian's head.She didn't speak, just looked forward, just rubbed.

The way of expressing one's heart needs to be different from person to person. Some people will cause ambiguity even if they explain face to face, but for some people, one movement and one look can completely convey everything.

For Fei Yu, Li Lian would undoubtedly be the latter.

On that night more than ten years ago, after she forced Liu Lian to leave, Liang Huan said to her with a smile, "I thought my sister was really angry with Si Lian."

"Yes." Fei Yu didn't deny it, "It's because I expected too much from her."

"Sister thinks that Sister Liao has acted recklessly this time?" Liang Huan didn't know the meaning behind it, so he just said his opinion casually, "But Liang Huan thinks that this just shows that Sister Lian has a deep affection for her. ah."

She helped up the clothes hanger that was knocked down by the guard, and said, "Sister should know, how much Sister Liuli likes the Banxiulou, and she has given no less to the Banxiulou than her elder sister. Many times, my elder sister lives in the pavilion and does not care about it." Don't get in touch with the women in the building, everyone is in awe of my sister, so I don't dare to disturb her rashly. But Sister Lian is different."

She said, raising her sleeves and bending her eyes, "Which girl is not afraid of Sister Liu when she first comes here? You can take her hand and tease her in less than a year. To us, my sister is like the moon in the night, unattainable; but Sulfur Sister Lian is with us every day, we are as close as sisters."

"The bond between me and Banxiulou is not half as strong as Sister Liu's is with Banxiulou. Ever since I was bought by my sister, I was ready to redeem myself and leave, not to stay long. Even so, when I When I really want to leave Banxiulou because of Cheng Lin, I still feel depressed; if Lianghuan is like this, let alone Sister Lilian who regards Banxiulou as her home."

She took Fei Yu's hand and looked at her with clear eyes, "Sister Liulian came to pick her up today, she must have suffered the pain of losing her foot."

"Broken foot?"

"We are siblings with Sister Lian, but Sister is hers..." Liang Huan said, paused, and concealed the rest of the words.

"It's only when you use the deepest love that you can mess up your heartstrings. Sister Liu was so calm in the past, but today she is so impatient that she doesn't seem to be the same person. Except for sister, there is no one in this world who would make her mess up like this. I know that sister is In order to let Sister Liao leave quickly, so as not to be arrested, but what my sister said is really too hurtful, Sister Liao will feel very sad when she goes back."

Fei Yu lowered her eyelids.

"Do you think I'm being too demanding?" she asked.

"It's not that I'm demanding," Liang Huan thought for a while, then smiled, "Compared to my elder sister, Liu Lian's sister is indeed too young, and she has not experienced as much as her elder sister, so she will definitely not be as experienced as her elder sister in terms of people and things."

"But to have such a pure heart is enough in my opinion. If someone can accompany me silently for 15 years, follow me from Wuxi to Hangzhou, and abandon everything to take me away at a critical moment, then I will definitely marry him."

When Lianghuan said this, he said helplessly as if joking, "Sister Liao loves her sister, this is something that everyone can see, she doesn't talk much, and it's her sister who opens her mouth. But my sister loves her sister. How to think in the end, even I don't know very well.

My sister's attitude towards her is so ambiguous and ambiguous. If it were me, I'm afraid I'd retreat in three to five years. It's hard for my sister to stay by my sister's side for ten years. "

Li Lian is not good at words, and she is not good at taking credit. This is the first time Fei Yu has heard an outsider's opinion.

She suddenly felt a little regretful, regretting that she hadn't told Liu Lian just now because she was angry, that she already had a way to save her.

When Fei Yu wanted to send a message to Liu Lian again, the housekeeper of the other courtyard stepped up her guard and did not allow her to send the message outside.

When he stepped out of the courtyard and saw Liu Lian again, it was not only Li Lian who didn't know how to speak, Fei Yu felt the same way.

She reached out and put her hand on Suliao's hair, like she did when she combed Suliao's hair for the first time, and rubbed it gently.

Maybe when she didn't realize it, she had already regarded Liu Lian as her reliance, that's why she placed too high expectations on her and was harsher on her than anyone else.

Because Liu Lian never let her down, because she gave Liu Lian a casual command to be perfect, so much so that she was used to what Li Lian did for herself.I've been looking at that expressionless face for so long that Fei Yu has forgotten that Liu Lian is also a little girl, who can be happy or sad, and wants to get a response from her sweetheart.

Maybe she was too strict with Liu Lian.

The float stopped at the downstairs of Banxiu, and Liu Lian closed the door, blocking the noisy congratulations outside the door.Firecrackers sounded outside the building, and inside the building were the long-awaited goddess and girl.

The moment Fei Yu stepped into the gate, all the flowers, willows, and swallows dwarfed the building. They knelt and saluted, and chanted in unison, "Sister Fei Yu."

This voice was so soft that it lacked any momentum, but it was as silky as cotton, and it could weave luxurious and noble gold thread clothes on the top, and strong and flexible grass weaving clothes on the bottom.Women are like water, they can wash away rocks like torrents; they can feed all things like streams; they can also accommodate hundreds of rivers like the sea.

In this companion building, there are torrents that are as powerful as a blade, sweet and cool streams, and a vast deep sea that embraces everything.

The empress dowager bestowed the jade plaque on the letter, and Tao Ji conveyed everything in the building completely.

Liang Huan covered her mouth and turned her head, she couldn't help crying.

Fei Yu stared at the girls kneeling all over the building for a while, then glanced at everyone present.After a while, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

She said, "Well, I'm back."

Feiyu is back, and the moon with Banxiulou is back.

……

Two months later

A black-covered boat stopped at the downstairs of the Banxiu Tower, and a woman in a white chrysanthemum pattern skirt got off the boat.

As soon as she got off the boat, she saw Liu Lian in front of the steps.

Lian bowed and saluted, "Boss Xu, my sister has been waiting upstairs for a long time."

Xu Jinhuai smiled when she heard the words, "I haven't seen you for two months, my lady's mood has improved a lot, but do you still remember what you promised me?"

Lian bowed her head and bowed, "Boss Xu's great kindness, I don't dare to forget Boss Xu, I can leave with Boss Xu today."

Xu Jinhuai laughed out loud, she laughed wantonly, and the tassels on her head swayed from side to side.While laughing, she patted Liu Lian on the shoulder, "Okay, don't be polite to me, go get busy with your business, I should go see your sister Fei Yu too."

"Boss Xu, please." Li Lian stepped aside, and when she saw the woman go upstairs, a soft smile appeared on her face.

Tao Ji didn't understand before, why Fei Yu always saves people more than the gain, but the business in his hand is thriving without loss, and even occupies a seat in Liuqingtang.

Later she understood that when Fei Yu opened a shop, she paid attention to a word of love, and what she was doing was a woman's business, and that was what every woman who fell into a flower building longed for.

In the past, Li Lian didn't understand why the largest chamber of commerce in Hangzhou was a widow. She thought it was because Xu Jinhuai had a strong backer and abundant capital. It wasn't until this year's Chinese Valentine's Eve that she saw the woman's means——

But it's all about goodness.So Easy.

Xu Jin was pregnant on the third floor, and Fei Yu was already waiting in the room.

Xu Jinhuai's tea was placed on her table, and when Xu Jinhuai sat down, the tea was warm to the touch, just right for her mouth.

"Young lady, stay safe," she said.

"Boss Xu, you're being polite." Fei Yu raised her hand, holding a cigarette in her mouth, to signal her, "Try the tea that Liu Lian just bought."

Xu Jinhuai picked up the teacup and drank the tea as she said, and the tea entered her throat. She nodded and said, "There are very few people in Hangzhou who drink black tea. I'm used to green tea, and I think it's a bit sweet."

Fei Yu closed her eyes, and a little smile overflowed from her eyes.

"Boss Xu will take care of you during this time." She removed the cigarette from her mouth and put the end of the pipe on the table. "Let Boss Xu see the jokes on housework."

When Fei Yu came back, Li Lian told Fei Yu everything that Xu Jinhuai said after seeing her, and Fei Yu understood that this woman could not only see the situation in Hangzhou clearly, and thus walk through the shopping malls, but also clearly see her and her relationship at a glance. The problem between the sulfur gills.

That day when Xu Jinhuai went to see Li Lian, she said to Li Lian, "No one would want to mention this past. For many years, Fei Yu didn't show this bloody wound to anyone and only told you. The intimacy is not something that a master and a servant can have, I just treat you as my sweetheart to meet each other frankly."

This sentence was superfluous and had nothing to do with the main topic, but Xu Jinhuai said it anyway.

She knew that the young and vigorous Li Lian didn't understand the bitterness of a woman aged [-], and even more knew the scruples and fears in Fei Yu's heart, so she chose to explain everything to Li Lian for Fei Yu.

"Boss Fei doesn't think I'm too talkative." Xu Jinhuai pushed the tea in his hand towards Fei Yu, "But this tea is too sweet, I'm not used to it, Boss Fei can keep it for himself."

Fei Yu smiled slightly, "I will prepare Longjing for you next time."

Xu Jinhuai's life experience is well known. She was born as a government girl. She married Yiwei Langjiang at the age of 15. After four years of marriage, her husband died in battle. She did not remarry and chose to return to her husband's hometown Hangzhou. Rooted here as a business.

It was a good story in Chang'an City. The general's wife and the general had a deep relationship. In four years, the general had not accepted a concubine, nor had he been to Hualou once.

After a certain age, people like to pin their hopes on others, and they don't want the younger generation to suffer from what they have suffered.

Fei Yu couldn't see women suffering, and Xu Jinhuai couldn't see lovers not getting married.

She put down the cigarette stick, and bowed deeply to Xu Jinhuai, "Thank you, Boss Xu, for taking care of me for so many years."

The flower and wine business in Hangzhou is completely in the hands of Xu Jinhuai, like an iron bucket, almost no one can get a piece of the pie from Xu Jinhuai.

But 11 years ago, Fei Yu, a powerless prostitute, was able to survive safely in Liuqingtang. Where there was love, Xu Jinhuai helped her fend off the stabs in the back.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me," Xu Jinhuai said, "Two months have passed, and Boss Fei's matters should have been dealt with. I'm here to take away my new maid today."

Fei Yu sat upright again, and she said, "Boss Xu, please make an offer, how much will I be able to buy back Liu Lian."

Seeing her so calm, Xu Jinhuai smiled from his chest, "Boss Fei is really smart, he knows what I'm trying to do."

She didn't say much, and got straight to the point, "Before the incident, I only wanted a three-cent profit from Banxiulou, but now that it's cost me so much trouble, I want three-cent profit from all the shops under my wife's name from now on."

"I'll give you eight points."

Xu Jinhuai was taken aback, "Boss Fei is serious?"

"It's just a small shop, and the sum is not as profitable as a Qiyun Building." Fei Yu shook her head, "Boss Xu didn't want my shop sincerely, but wanted to give me a favor."

She didn't rely on her, and now Li Sheng is gone, but she still doesn't know what will happen in the future.But Xu Jinhuai is different, she is a well-known businessman, her husband is General Yiwei Lang who died for the country, her husband's family is a rich family in Zhejiang, and her own sister is the personal maid of the Empress Dowager.

She took one-third of Fei Yu's profit, and the purpose was to make Fei Yu's store bear her name, Xu Jinhuai. Give her a hand.

"But Boss Fei gave me eight points of the profit, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to open a new store in the future." Xu Jinhuai said hesitantly, "As far as I know, the little girls in the three buildings are all paid by Boss Fei himself. To feed you." In the future, when Fei Yu picks up a new girl, she will be nervous about money.

"I won't need it in the future." Fei Yu looked at her, her flirtatious peach blossom eyes were full of tenderness, like a lotus flower in the rain, so beautiful and soft; it's like seeing the sun through the clouds, so beautiful that the pain is gone.

"In order to show his filial piety, the emperor opened the Lonely Garden in Hangzhou to adopt the poor and orphans around him, and he specially ordered me to take care of it."

She turned her head to look outside the door, "From now on, those girls don't have to hide in my brothel, there is a decent place for them to live."

Xu Jinhuai was slightly taken aback, and then smiled, "It seems that Tao Ji is very popular with the Queen Mother."

"How is Tao Ji?" Fei Yu asked, "She has only been here for three months, and I have never talked to her properly before."

"She looks like Princess Kangyou, and she is clever and sweet-mouthed. My elder sister said that the Queen Mother is already choosing a husband for her."

Fei Yu felt relieved, "That's good."

She said and took out a stack of account books, "These are the accounts of the past three years. Boss Xu can take them home and read them slowly. From now on, on the fifteenth day of each month, I will send the money and the accounts to Qiyun Building."

"No need." Xu Jinhuai got up, "I can't finish reading my own accounts, so I don't have the energy to look at yours, just send the money over."

She bowed her head slightly in greeting, "The matter is over, I will take my leave today. Boss Fei, there is no need to send it off."

"I have one more thing." Fei Yu called her, she looked up at Xu Jinhuai who was standing at the door, and said softly, "Boss Xu is helping me so much, why is it? I'm just a whore with nothing. It's just a woman."

Xu Jinhuai stopped, looked at Fei Yu, and asked back, "Then why does Boss Fei help those girls so much?"

Seeing Fei Yu stunned, she curled her lips and smiled, "It's not easy for a woman to open a shop in this world, men don't treat us as human beings, at least we have to treat ourselves as human beings."

"Boss Fei believes that I won't stand by and watch Banxiulou because he treats me with kindness. How can I live up to such high hopes."

She pushed open the door and left the companion building, "I don't know why, I just admire you. When Boss Fei is free, come to my Qiyun building for a drink, and stay in the attic where there is no light every day. Even the best flowers will wither."

"Now that things are going on, I advise you not to belittle yourself and tell you that there are good men among men, but you won't listen to it. But take it as my old sister's suggestion: go out and walk around more, it will help your beauty."

Xu Jinhuai left, Fei Yu sat in the room for a long time, after a long time, she walked to the window, opened the window and looked down, watching Xu Jinhuai's boat leave.

The moonlight shone on the water, and it shone white. There was no moonlight in the place where the boat sailed, but the long skirt with chrysanthemum pattern on the white background of the people on the boat was whiter than the moonlight.

No one treats them as human beings, at least they have to treat themselves as human beings.

Xu Jinhuai and Li Sheng are both well-known merchants. If Li Sheng can find out the secrets on the fourth floor of the Banxiu Building, so can Xu Jinhuai. Even when Fei Yu first adopted those girls, she knew about it.

However, she was different from Li Sheng. Not only did Xu Jinhuai not seize this opportunity to defeat Fei Yu in one fell swoop, but he secretly protected her for ten years.

From the point of view of men, Xu Jinhuai is the benevolence of a woman, and she has cut off a piece of her business empire for nothing.

But the so-called benevolence of a woman, after all, falls on the word benevolence.

As a human being, how unkind.She is different from Li Sheng, she regards Fei Yu as a human being, and all the women in this Liuqingtang as human beings.

With such a broad mind, Xu Jinhuai's business can last for a long time. Even though she is just a widow, no one in Hangzhou is disrespectful to her.

Fei Yu stood in front of the window, turned and left the room until she could no longer see the boat.

Pushing open the door, she saw Li Lian waiting at the door. Seeing her coming out, Li Lian asked nervously, "What did Boss Xu say to sister?"

She knew that Fei Yu would not send herself out, but she was also worried that Fei Yu would lose too much assets due to her own reasons.

Fei Yu could see her nervousness, those dark eyes were clear to the bottom, only her own figure, just like the past ten years.

Biting her cigarette, she passed Suliao, and chuckled, "Xu Jinhuai said, the tea you made is too sweet."

Liu Lian was puzzled for a moment, and after a moment of reaction, there was a crimson blush on his face.

"Sister...does sister think it's too sweet too?" She stammered and asked.

"No," Fei Yu looked back, her eyes fell on Liu Lian lingeringly, "I tasted it just right."

It was getting late, and the Banxiu Building was about to become lively. The goddesses opened the door and prepared to go downstairs to pick up the guests.

Before going downstairs, they heard clogs at the end of the corridor.

The woman clings to the long black-golden smoke, and there is curling shreds of tobacco at her temples. She comes gracefully, dressed in fire-like brilliance, as bright as a peony in full bloom, as magnificent as a piece of transparent blood jade.

After seeing her figure, the goddesses stopped, stepped aside, bowed their heads and called respectfully, "Sister Fei Yu."

Fei Yu nodded, she lay on the railing on the third floor and looked down, watching the singing and dancing downstairs, listening to the laughter and coquettishness around her, she was clearly in the place of fireworks, but Fei Yu felt peaceful and peaceful in her heart.

Moving her gaze slightly, she saw Liu Lian standing behind her.

With a twist of the peach blossom eyes, a warm light appeared in the woman's eyes, and Li Lian understood Fei Yu's meaning.She took two steps forward, supported Fei Yu's waist, and kissed the woman's red lips.

This year, next year, and every year in the future, Banxiulou will be here every year.As long as Fei Yu is still there, this building can continue to be lively forever.

They have their own moon.
