My wife is beautiful

It's early summer, and the flood season is approaching. The new construction of the Zhejiang Dam has fallen, and the supervisory imperial envoy sent by the imperial court is Mo Xuanlang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.After three months of new repairs, Mr. Mo cordially invited all of you to fund the new repairs of the dam, and all the businessmen who spent money like water to come to Mingyue Tower for a banquet.Among them, Mr. Zhao was actually involved.

Although Mr. Zhao's official position is not high, it is still a little awkward to sit between this group of imperial envoys and businessmen. Everyone here knows what the purpose of those businessmen is, and to please Mr. Mo is to change after three months, every two years For the position of salt official, it is said that officials and businessmen protect each other, and that money can make ghosts turn the millstone. Compared with the fact that the king's party often buys and sells officials.

What business is the most profitable?There is no doubt that it must be selling salt, but private salt is always safer than official salt.

The post of salt official was selected from private salt merchants, and was mainly responsible for the purchase of salt from the capital and even official salt on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, supplemented by the imperial court.

If a new salt official can be elected after March, it will be an inexhaustible mountain of gold and silver.Now King Yun is the regent, covering the sky with one hand, and Lord Mo is a member of King Yun's party. If he can please Lord Mo, at least he can say good words in front of King Yun, and it will be much smoother to become a salt official.

And since Master Lu, a salt merchant in Hangzhou, spent a lot of money to fund the construction of the new dam three months ago, many Jiangnan merchants have also begun to follow suit.Mr. Zhao does not go into business, but he still knows a few well-known wealthy businessmen, Chen Qi from Guangdong General Commercial Bank, Li Yuheng from Hangzhou Li Family, and the richest man in Jiangnan, Chang Huining from Suzhou. The biggest contender for this salt official.

They seemed to be very familiar with Mr. Zhao, and they were able to chat for a few words, which made Mr. Zhao, who was neglected at the banquet, look less alone.A group of people pushed cups and changed cups, talking and laughing weakly, having fun.After drinking for three rounds, Mr. Mo left first, and the remaining prefects and businessmen, Mr. Chang proposed to go to Xinghualou to have fun.

Xinghualou is not a serious place at first glance. It is the largest Goulan in Suzhou, and there is also the most beautiful oiran in the south of the Yangtze River, Miss Juntan.

Which of these old fritters was not moved by the words, but Mr. Zhao refused, "No, my wife is still waiting at home, so I won't go. My lords, you young masters, have fun."

The prefect of Hangzhou laughed at him, "Master Zhao, you and I are usually close, and we don't have much time to get together. Today is a rare opportunity, why don't you spoil the fun?"

Mr. Zhao thought in his heart that you ugly old man with a big belly and full of fat, I have nothing to do with you, it's better to go home, Li Qingshu is much more eye-catching.Furthermore, the last floating corpse case finally involved the son of the prefect of Hangzhou, and his son was imprisoned. What good can he do with Mr. Zhao?

But Mr. Zhao still smiled and declined: "Next time, Madam is not in good health, I have to go back and have a look."

But the eldest son Chang was not happy, he hooked Mr. Zhao's shoulder and saw that the two were quite close.

Mr. Chang persuaded impatiently: "Zhao Huaijing, you said that you were not like this before, and it will be different after marrying a wife? Are you afraid that your wife will be jealous? How can you be so cowardly? It's hard to come to Suzhou , or brother? You just listen to the young master, let's have fun!"

Master Zhao really didn't want to go, but Chang Huining forcibly dragged him away.

Under the red building, as soon as a group of well-dressed people entered the Xinghua Building, they were greeted by the girls. Each of them leaned on a beautifully dressed woman, but Mr. Zhao looked straight ahead with a sullen face.Suddenly there was an exclamation, everyone in the building looked upstairs, a woman in a white gauze skirt came down the stairs, her temperament was like a fairy, her face was half covered with white gauze, her stunning face was looming, her figure was graceful, Like a lotus growing step by step.

The old bustard smiled and explained that this is the oiran in their building, Miss Jun Tan.

Mr. Zhao just glanced at it and lost interest. How about a beautiful woman?Not as good as Li Qingshu's half a finger.

Simply those guys who are full of lust and ungratefulness ran to find the girl as soon as they entered Xinghualou. Chang Huining's eyes went straight when he saw the oiran, and he didn't care about Mr. Zhao, so he followed the oiran with fluttering footsteps .

Mr. Zhao was not familiar with the others, so he took this opportunity to get rid of a group of girls who were entangled, and slipped out of Xinghualou.

His body was still covered with the sweet and greasy scent of rouge. Mr. Zhao stood at the entrance of the Red Building and patted his shoulders. He frowned disgustingly. He seemed to hear someone calling him. Mr. Zhao followed the sound and saw that he was opposite the Xinghua Building. I happened to see a few familiar figures on the street.

Suddenly, Master Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

Jin Haoxuan on the opposite side waved at him, Master Zhao had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over, glanced at the person next to him, there was no special expression, Master Zhao felt guilty for no reason.

Hearing Jin Haoxuan ask: "Master Zhao, why did you come out? We thought it was too deserted and asked Mrs. Zhao to play with us. We never thought we would meet you, Mr. Zhao."

Master Zhao twitched his lips and said, "What's the fun, you all came out."

Lin Ziqian said: "Today is the [-]th day, and there is another temple fair. I heard that there are river lanterns here at night. Master Zhao doesn't know?"

Master Zhao really didn't know, Lin Ziqian didn't wait for him to speak, and teased again: "It seems that Master Zhao is a busy person, no wonder Mrs. Zhao came out with us because she felt bored, by the way, Master Zhao, where did you come from just now?" Did it come out? Why is there a scent on your body?"

Lin Ziqian is just about which pot he can't open and which pot to lift. Mr. Zhao glanced anxiously at Li Qingshu, and said to Lin Ziqian with a fake smile: "Mr. You don't have to understand."

Lin Ziqian just wanted to do something to watch the fun, but Jin Haoxuan suddenly wanted to set off a river lantern, and dragged Lin Ziqian to buy it. Not understanding what Jin Haoxuan meant, Lin Ziqian muttered as he walked: "Haoxuan, what river lantern are you buying? Do you believe this too? Those girls just put river lanterns to pray..."

Jin Haoxuan smiled, and led Lin Ziqian to the stall, "It is said that when you go to the country, do as the Romans do, Ziqian, how does it feel to try to release the river lantern?"

Lin Ziqian didn't really want to go, but Jin Haoxuan was very interested, so he didn't disappoint, he turned around and agreed with Li Qingshu to wait for them by the river bank, and then left.

Li Qingshu nodded slightly, and when he came back to his senses, he always felt that someone was watching him. Sure enough, Mr. Zhao stared at him with complicated and hesitant expression. Li Qingshu laughed, "What do you think I am doing?"

Ever since Li Qingshu gave him a teasing kiss last time, Mr. Zhao felt itchy in his heart. Looking at Li Qingshu's pretty face, he couldn't help but dream about it. He was too embarrassed to talk about his wife all the time. She blushed a little, and she was much more innocent than when she asked Li Qingshu to get ready for that.Immediately shook his head and said: "It's nothing, why did you come out and still wear so... little."

Mr. Zhao insisted on swallowing the word "attractive", but he was thinking too much. The weather is getting hotter in early summer, and Li Qingshu just changed into thin summer clothes.But in Mr. Zhao's opinion, Li Qingshu is too good-looking. He has a bright face and a slender figure, with a narrow waist and hips. When he goes out, he must be targeted by the perverts on the street. It's better not to go out.

But Master Zhao personally bought those clothes for Li Qingshu, Master Zhao just forgot about this, and looked angry when the people around him looked sideways at Li Qingshu.

Li Qingshu didn't make a sound, turned around and reminded: "Let's go to the river bank first."

Li Qingshu rarely treats him so coldly!Mr. Zhao felt guilty, his whole body was not well.He followed and got close to Li Qingshu. On the bustling street, the moonlight was bright and the lights were dim. They walked side by side among the bustling crowd.

Before Li Qingshu opened his mouth, Mr. Zhao couldn't bear it any longer. He tugged at Li Qingshu's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Are you angry?"

"Huh?" Li Qingshu turned his head, his voice was very puzzled.

To show his innocence, Mr. Zhao said, "I went to a brothel, but Chang Huining was the one who dragged me there. I don't want to go!"

Li Qingshu paused for a moment, then smiled suddenly, "I know."

Master Zhao opened his eyes wide and stared sideways at him, "What do you mean? Then you, are you angry?"

Li Qingshu rolled his eyes with a smile, and sighed: "I know you have a cleanliness habit, why would you go to that kind of place? And why should I be angry? Master Zhao, do you think that your wife and I are such a stingy person?"

Master Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, and happily took Li Qingshu's little hand, "No, of course not, you, you, although you are not a generous person, you should not be too small."

Li Qingshu's smile collapsed at Master Zhao's sincere words, he took a breath of the smell from Master Zhao's body, and immediately covered his nose and muffled, "But the rouge smell on your body is so strong, it doesn't smell good at all. "

After Li Qingshu finished speaking, he curled his lips and walked away. Master Zhao hurriedly followed, and said anxiously: "It got on by accident! I didn't do it on purpose, Li Qingshu, if you get angry again, I will ignore you!"

Li Qingshu: "..." Even though you did something wrong, you still ignore me?

Li Qingshu really couldn't understand Mr. Zhao's logic, so he had no choice but to stand there and wait for Mr. Zhao, and then the two went to the river bank hand in hand.Mr. Zhao was quite satisfied, just holding a small hand was enough, and asked as he walked, "Why did those two boys come to you?"

"They said that people here are unfamiliar and only know us. They wanted to invite us to go to the temple fair together, but you were not at home, so I went." Li Qingshu replied, feeling his hands being tightly held.

Master Zhao glanced at Li Qingshu's face, and asked cautiously: "The temple fair is over? How long have you been shopping, are you tired?"

Li Qingshu didn't want to answer the first two questions anymore, and when he asked if he was tired, he felt more comfortable and hummed: "I finished shopping early, and you don't accompany me, and you don't allow me to go out to play by myself."

Master Zhao felt that he was right when he heard the words, and insisted on his own approach, "I did the right thing, you see that you are not in good health, so don't go out to play, stay at home obediently, if you like cats, then raise them Cat, tell Uncle Zhao what kind of animal you like, let him buy it for you, ah yes, don’t buy too expensive ones, I’ve used up my monthly salary.”

Li Qingshu blushed in anger and looked at Mr. Zhao for a long while before holding back a sentence, "You are so stingy! Iron cock!"

Master Zhao disagreed, "Don't forget that we are heavily in debt now, Mrs. Zhao, this is the joint debt of our husband and wife. When do you think it will be repaid, the Year of the Monkey?"

Li Qingshu was so angry that he wanted to bite someone, but in the end he could only curl his lips and snort heavily, turning his face away.Mr. Zhao knew that Li Qingshu would be angry because he went to Xinghualou tonight.Mr. Zhao picked a deserted river bank and dragged Li Qingshu over, just under the shadow of the willow tree to block a lot of sight.

Zhao Da looked at all kinds of river lanterns floating on the river, his eyes were bright, and Li Qingshu also looked at him quietly, but did not look at the river lanterns.Suddenly Master Zhao turned his head, looked at Li Qingshu and asked, "Did you tell Lin Ziqian your name?"

Li Qingshu raised his eyelids and shook his head.Mr. Zhao sighed, and persuaded: "That's good, you remember, don't let them know your relationship with Li Qingyan, they still refuse to go back because they still have things to do. "

Li Qingshu nodded, and said impatiently, "I see."

Mr. Zhao knew that he was in a bad mood, and every time Li Qingyan was mentioned, he would be like this, so he boldly put his arms around Li Qingshu's waist, and easily wrapped one hand around Li Qingshu, Mr. Zhao's heart was thin Yes, and then lamented how thin the waist is.

Li Qingshu looked up at him strangely, in the flickering fire, Li Qingshu couldn't tell whether Mr. Zhao's cheeks were red or not, but he still seemed to be pretending to be serious.Li Qingshu liked to tease him the most, so he raised his hand and hooked Lord Zhao's neck, and asked him with eyebrows bent, "Huaijing, what's wrong with you?"

Master Zhao murmured in a low voice, "Two and a half months..."

Li Qingshu didn't react, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What two and a half months?"

Mr. Zhao's face was a bit tangled, and then he said in a puffed up voice: "You have to prepare well for what I told you last time."

Li Qingshu became more and more confused, "What am I going to do..." He paused at this moment, his mind suddenly remembered, and then he blushed with embarrassment, "Huaijing, you, what are you thinking about all day long? ?”

No matter what he said, Mr. Zhao lowered his head and held Li Qingshu's lips. The two lips pressed together, but they didn't penetrate deeply. The cool and soft touch made Mr. Zhao feel less hot after drinking. Peace of mind.Li Qingshu waited for a while, Master Zhao still didn't move, so he opened his lips and opened his mouth first, guiding Master Zhao to go deeper.

Sure enough, the tip of his tongue tasted the strong aroma of wine. Li Qingshu's initiative made Mr. Zhao lose his mind in an instant, and he hugged Li Qingshu tightly and began to bite without skill.Li Qingshu, who had knocked his teeth and had his lips bitten, hurriedly pushed Mr. Zhao away, but Mr. Zhao was unwilling to let go. He seemed to be having a good time biting, knowing the taste.

Li Qingshu frowned, and could only helplessly hold Mr. Zhao's neck tightly to comfort him, so that he could calm down and stop biting himself.Suddenly there was an exclamation from behind, Master Zhao left Li Qingshu in a hurry, the two of them looked back, Lin Ziqian coughed lightly, and awkwardly pulled Jin Haoxuan who was petrified behind him, "Ahem, that, you two are so elegant , Well, let's not bother, let's go first..."

"Wait!"

Li Qingshu was afraid that Mr. Zhao would bite him again after he left, so he hurriedly called him back, but he tasted a sweet smell on the tip of his tongue, and his bitten mouth would be torn as soon as he spoke, so he covered his mouth and said: " You still come here, it's okay."

Lin Ziqian paused for a moment, then nodded, holding a delicate lotus river lantern in his hand.Mr. Zhao was also a little embarrassed, and looked at Li Qingshu with shame and anger, like a little daughter-in-law who was kissed by force, "Why didn't you push me away earlier?"

Li Qingshu was speechless, "...I pushed! You still want to bite me..."

The more Li Qingshu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he simply stopped talking.

And Jin Haoxuan and Lin Ziqian, who heard this conversation, wished they would lose their ears and make their eyes blind!

Jin Haoxuan said to himself, "Master Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, you don't know, Ziqian and I went to buy a lantern, and then we heard an old story, it was an old case in Suzhou City that has not been solved yet."

Hearing that it was a case, Mr. Zhao became interested: "What old case? Tell me about it."

Li Qingshu also looked over, and sure enough his Master Zhao was the most attractive when he was serious about handling the case, but he really couldn't be judged by his appearance.Li Qingshu clutched his injured mouth aggrievedly.

Jin Haoxuan said: "It's a story about the River Lantern Festival. It is said that a monster appeared in Suzhou City five years ago, and it was the legendary Fox Fairy Empress."

"Five years ago?" Mr. Zhao shook his head immediately, "I didn't come to Suzhou five years ago, so I never heard of it."

Lin Ziqian has a strong narrative ability, so Jin Haoxuan let him speak.

"It's said that five years ago, a girl in Xinghualou fell in love with a benefactor, and she made a wish in front of Empress Fox Fairy, hoping to marry that benefactor. But in the end, the benefactor did not marry her, but took Her money married a daughter from another family. The girl threw herself into the river in a fit of rage, and that day was the river lantern festival, and a corpse suddenly floated among the strings of river lanterns, it was that girl."

Master Zhao felt a little familiar after hearing this, "Wait! Xinghualou? I seem to have heard that the last girl died, and Xinghualou was closed for a while. Business is gradually recovering."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhao felt a strange gaze behind him, and when he turned his head, Li Qingshu silently turned his face away.Lin Ziqian also fell into trouble and said: "Master Zhao really cares about Xinghualou..."

Mr. Zhao said anxiously: "I can explain..."

"Listen to me and continue."

Lin Ziqian interrupted Mr. Zhao, and continued: "The vow that girl made in the Temple of the Fox Immortal is that as long as she can marry her lover, she will spend the rest of her life dedicated to the Fox Immortal, but if the lover betrays her , so he was going to die of gut piercing. The girl’s wish was very poisonous. After the girl died, the lover really died of gut piercing. There was no reason. At that time, people were frightened and panicked. Empress Fox Immortal is angry."

"Many people investigated this case, but they didn't investigate it clearly. Instead, they all provoked the fox fairy. It is said that they were frightened in the end and ran away in desperation. After that, no one dared to investigate this case. This story is also sealed in everyone heart."

Jin Haoxuan said, "Just now when we went to buy lanterns, we happened to meet two girls from Xinghualou talking about this matter. They are the good sisters of the dead girl. Today is her birthday, and they came here specially to pay homage to her. But the words were vague, We asked a few more people, and only then did we know a thing or two."

Lin Ziqian nodded, his eyes sparkling, as if very excited, he looked straight at Master Zhao.Mr. Zhao twitched his lips and asked, "You don't want to investigate this case, do you?"

Lin Ziqian nodded quickly, "I think this case must be very interesting. No, I mean there must be something hidden. Since it is an unsolved mystery, let me uncover its answer."

Jin Haoxuan also strongly agreed.Mr. Zhao couldn't hold back the two of them, so he had to agree. Thinking that today was the birthday of the dead girl, Mr. Zhao felt a chill behind him, and hurriedly dragged Li Qingshu home.

Li Qingshu was not very happy. Mr. Zhao secretly looked at him several times along the way, but the other party still didn't want to talk to him, so Mr. Zhao had nothing to say. Looking at Li Qingshu, he thought about how to calm down and asked, "Qingshu Shu, do you think that Empress Fox Fairy is real? Do goblins really exist in this world?"

Li Qingshu glanced at him coolly, "I don't know."

He likes Li Qingshu, not only every frown and smile, but also every movement, even if it is Li Qingshu's eyes, he feels all kinds of charm and beauty.Mr. Zhao was stunned, blinked his eyes, looked at Li Qingshu's face and thought, yes, isn't the most beautiful goblin in the world standing beside him now?
