Xia Youxiangyun

The Xia family is a wealthy businessman in a small town, and there are several shops alone, doing different businesses.The Xia family only had two legitimate sons, the eldest son died young, and the second son was called Xia Rui.Mr. Xia is romantic by nature, and there are many concubines in his family. Mrs. Xia has very strict requirements on Xia Rui for her position in the family.Xia Rui also ran between the shop and the academy every day, very busy.But he has a stubborn temperament, he thinks it's fine if he doesn't do it, and he should do his best if he wants to do it.

The spring in the small town is drizzle, the raindrops are not big, but they are very dense, even worse than the thunderstorm in summer, even if you hold an umbrella, it may not be able to cover anything.Xia Rui sat on the second floor of his restaurant, checking the accounts, and casually glanced downstairs in his spare time, and sure enough, he saw the honest man across the street again.

"Fool." Xia Rui cursed secretly, that man set up a stall at the entrance of the restaurant every day, selling fruits from his own yard, but the fruits he sold were really not good in appearance, not only small in size, but also dull in color Yes, there are quite a few people who ask about the price, but not many people actually buy a few. Loquats are very common in small towns.

One day when Xia Rui passed by, she saw a woman with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks picking and choosing. A loquat that cost eight cents a catty was finally cut to five cents, and the honest person was still smiling and weighing it.Xia Rui couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked over and snatched the loquat from the woman's hand, and said to the woman, "It's rare to find a loquat in the city for eight cents a catty, why don't you grab it for five cents a catty? Save three pennies." What are you doing with the money? Are you keeping it to buy coffin boards for yourself?" The woman was still cursing at first, but when she looked back, she found that it was the young master of the Xia family, who is notoriously mean, and didn't dare to curse back, so she left muttering.

"Are you stupid?" Xia Rui slapped the fruit cart with a slap: "She asked you to sell it for five cents and you sold it? Did she ask you to sell it for three cents? Did you sell it? It was clearly intentional. "The man was very sincere, touched his head and said: "Mother has to see a doctor, and she can only get rich if she sells it. Mother also said that these fruits are not worth much." Xia Rui snorted coldly. The filial son didn't say much, he lifted the loquat, took out a coin from his sleeve and put it on the man's cart: "Here, I want this loquat, there are no more pieces of silver, you can just keep it."

"No, no, this is too much," the man began to fumble for his clothes: "I have broken money, I can find it."

Xia Rui ignored him, turned around and went into her own restaurant.

The account book of the restaurant has always been the thickest, with many entries, Xia Rui did the calculation for a long time before finally finishing it.It was late at night when he went downstairs again, and the waiter in the shop called him: "Young master, hey, young master, wait a minute, the fruit seller at the door asked me to hand it over to you."

Xia Rui took it over and saw that five cents had just been subtracted.

Xia Rui held an umbrella, crossed the road, and stood in front of the small cart full of fruits. Some fruits could not be sold for a few days, and they were already a little ripe. The rotten fruits were packed aside, placed in another small wooden grid, and sold at other prices. "Why are you still setting up a stall here?" Seeing that his coarse clothes were all soaked through, Xia Rui couldn't help frowning: "It's raining so much today, no one will have time to buy fruit, if you Also fell ill because of the rain, who can come out and make money for you to buy medicine?"

The man smiled foolishly: "No, Young Master Xia, I'm in good health."

Xia Rui was at a loss for words, looked at the cart of fruits, and finally brought up the wooden grid where the peeled and overripe fruits were placed: "I want all of these." Unexpectedly, the man waved his hand quickly and said: "No, no, how can the young master eat these rotten things? How can this be done!" Xia Rui said angrily, "Do you care if I eat it myself or feed the horses? I want all of these." He was startled, lowered his head and responded, intending to weigh Xia Rui, but Xia Rui picked up the wooden lattice and walked into the restaurant, dropping a tael of silver.

"Young master, this is too much, young master!" The man shouted anxiously from behind: "Master Xia!"

Xia Rui turned to look at him: "Tomorrow, all the fruits in this cart will be sent to Xia's mansion, just say I meant it." The man said again: "That's too much..." Xia Rui snorted coldly: " I'm a businessman, I know how many there are, just do as I say, don't talk so much." The man said "Oh", Xia Rui seemed to think of something, and asked again: "What's your name?"

"My name is……"

Xia Rui woke up suddenly, and found that his back was covered with cold sweat, and his clothes were sticky to his body. He hadn't dreamed for a long time, and he hadn't dreamed of that person for a long time, and now he suddenly dreamed again, calling him Can't be alone for a while.The people around him slept very lightly, and Xia Rui woke up as soon as he moved, and stretched out his arms to wrap around Xia Rui's waist: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Xia Rui exhaled, and pushed the people around him: "It's time to wake up, too."

The man still wanted to say something, but the palace man at the door called out softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to get up." Qin Yao sighed, and slowly got up: "Oh, it's hard to be an emperor. Ah, Brother Sihuang is cool, but I am exhausted. He doesn’t want this seat, so what is he going to do to grab it, and make me suffer for nothing.” Xia Rui glared at him: “You’re talking nonsense again, clean up quickly, today I'm going to torment the Qinghe Inspection Department again." Qin Yao said hastily: "Okay, okay, clean it up, clean it up now."

Xia Rui didn't look at his expression of sincerity and trepidation, beside him, His Majesty the Emperor, An Lehou bestowed by the late Emperor, and his own brother Fu Qingyan, who was called the "Three Goods of the Imperial Capital", had a fierce temper. A good one doesn't say anything, but whether it is really good or fake is still a matter of long-term consideration.

The maids followed the eunuchs and came in in a row, serving Qin Yao to change clothes, keeping their eyes on each other and not breathing, as if they hadn't seen Xia Rui.The relationship between Xia Rui and Qin Yao can be regarded as an open secret in Qin Yao's bedroom. Qin Yao has a queen and three concubines, and many concubines of low rank. They have a son, a daughter, and a concubine Female, the offspring are very thin.But before Xia Rui entered the imperial court as an official, His Majesty the emperor had been conscientiously pampering the palaces one by one according to the date on the sign, never caring for anyone, and never skipping over anyone, it was true rain and dew.

But since Xia Rui became an official in the court, Qin Yao seemed to have changed his temperament. Except for the queen who often went to visit, most of the time he lived in his own palace and lived in with him. Yes, and Xia Rui.

When Xia Rui packed up, Qin Yao had already changed into court clothes.In this dynasty, purple is the venerable, and Qin Yao is wearing a purple brocade dress, with gold thread hooking, silver thread tracing, and dark patterns intertwined. Even though Qin Yao's face is still a harmless smile to humans and animals, at this moment There is a bit of imperial air.

Xia Rui secretly slandered that it was really a person who wanted clothes, while kneeling down respectfully: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Qin Yao hurriedly helped him: "Didn't you say that, don't do this?" Xia Rui said, "Courtesy cannot be broken." Qin Yao seemed quite disappointed, but he didn't say anything, just patted Xia Rui on the back of the hand and said: "Let's go, it's going to be late." Xia Rui still lowered his head: "Your Majesty will have dinner first, I just go alone."

Qin Yao also knew that he couldn't beat him, so he followed the palace servants and walked first.

Only then did Xia Rui let out a sigh of relief, companions are like companions to tigers, no matter how easy this emperor looks to be a bully, to crush him to death is as easy as crushing an ant.Now he can be regarded as having some status in front of Qin Yao. Of course, Qin Yao treats him well. After a while, Qin Yao has no interest in him. Just toss him.

Qin Yao and Xia Rui began by a coincidence.

Qin Yao's mother is the only daughter in the family, and she only has Qin Yao as a son. Qin Yao has always been very kind to the empress dowager. On that day, the empress dowager had her birthday, and Qin Yao was happy. Let the palace people help him go back to the palace to rest.When passing by the imperial garden, he happened to see Xia Rui who was coming out to breathe, so he pestered Xia Rui to help him back to the palace.Xia Rui originally thought it was just to help him go back, and he didn't bother with a drunk emperor, so he helped him go back, who knew that after this help, he was put on the bed.

When he woke up the next day, Qin Yao seemed shocked, and looked at Xia Rui dumbfounded: "Ai, Aiqing?" Not annoyed, he just raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Yao: "Who does Your Majesty take me for?"

Qin Yao couldn't answer, Xia Rui didn't look at him anymore, and just got out of bed to pick up his scattered clothes, Qin Yao was dazzled by his snow-white flesh and mottled red marks on it.

Xia Ruiyuan didn't take this matter to heart either. His Majesty the Emperor was just drunk and misunderstood someone. He was a man himself, and he didn't have any chastity. .

Who knew that His Majesty the emperor might have got the fun of it, and began to call him into the palace frequently, and made moves from time to time, and Xia Rui didn't stop him, following Qin Yao to mess around.He was not a person with a family background at first, and everything in the court depended on his life for Qin Yao, and now these are just one kind of life, if Qin Yao likes it, then just let him go.Qin Yao saw that Xia Rui didn't seem to care, so he intensified, and finally took people into the palace. The people in his palace were all his confidants.

The people in the court didn't bother to take care of Qin Yao's private affairs at this time. They had more important things to do--King Qinghe.

King Qinghe, Qin Xuan, and Qin Yao are brothers. King Qinghe ranked third among the thirteen princes of the former emperor, and Qin Yao ranked eleventh. At the time when the third prince Qin Xuan and the fourth prince Qin Yuan had the most fierce competition for the heir, Qin Yao was still an immature child. When the fourth prince finally took over the country, he lost interest in the throne, so he half pushed and half pushed his favorite emperor brother Qin Yao up, and stayed with Qin Yao for several years. Then disappeared.

In those few years, Qin Xuan was fairly safe. In recent years, there have been more and more actions, and the movement has become more and more loud. Bribing officials, opening mines privately, and stationing [-] troops in Qinghe, the whole Qinghe only knows that there is Qinghe King Qinxuan, where? Also know that there is Emperor Qin Yao?

Qin Yao's influence in the court is weak, except for a few senior officials who are close to him, the rest of his descendants are all young officials he has single-handedly picked up in recent years, and Xia Rui is one of them.
