Startled Meng

"Young Master, are you carving jade?" When Xiaoqing opened the door with his servants, Yu Fangzhi was sitting under the window.

He couldn't sit well, leaning half of his body out of the window, holding the carving knife and scratching without any distraction, ignoring the movement when he heard it, blowing on the powder, squinting his eyes to look closely at the golden wheel in the sky.

He was carving the white jade, and the white jade was also carving him, and the delicate light moved inch by inch on his face, carving out an outstanding good looks.

The white jade was held warm by him, and the marks left by the carving knife were deep and shallow, and every place was sketched out with that person in mind, only a shape, but enough to reveal his thoughts clearly. .

As soon as the palm was retracted, it was too late for the emotion to be broken, and the strands remained between the brows.

"Master Diaoyu seems very happy!" Xiao Qing handed over the tea.

Yu Fangzhi knocked the white jade on the table, took the teacup, in the clear tea soup, with a clear smile, he said without 300 taels of silver here: "Is there any?"

Xiao Qing nodded, looked at it curiously, pointed at Bai Yu and exclaimed: "What a beautiful crabapple!"

"But why not carve a lotus? The texture of white jade matches the lotus best."

"What do you know?" Yu Fangzhi put the white jade away, "Please wait for me to get dressed, I will take someone to Linghu later."

"Oh," Xiao Qing asked curiously, "Which girl is it?" He saw the figure drawn on the jade.

"girl?"

The language side is happy, and he sneered.

Xiaoqing also covered her mouth and snickered, thinking that the young master went to Ye City, and she was enlightened a lot. In a wealthy family like theirs, ordinary sons can marry wives and concubines at the age of sixteen or seventeen. How can they be like their own young masters? , there is not even a girl to fill in the house, how shameful it is to say it!

Xiaoqing thought for a while, but she really couldn't think of what kind of girl her young master liked, so she said: "The one my young master likes must be very good!"

"It's not bad..." Yu Fangzhi thought carefully, "He is cold-tempered but not aloof. He seems ruthless but actually values ​​justice."

Sounding like a chivalrous girl who robs the rich and helps the poor, Xiaoqing is a little puzzled, most of the women in Jiangling are gentle and graceful, who is the young master's favorite?

Does Yu Fang know that he has become the servant's observation object, and he is calculating how long it will take to carve the jade.

Passing by the front hall, he heard Yu Wanqian getting angry, and also heard his own name, so he quickly slipped out to avoid being caught.

When he rushed to the edge of Linghu Lake, he happened to hear Yue Junshan talking to Yan Cijing, followed by a large group of soldiers.

In order to increase momentum for Yan Cijing, Yu Fangzhi quickened his pace and approached, just in time to hear Yue Junshan say:

"The general asked us to come here to listen to Master Yan's command. In addition, there is another sentence that the general wants me to convey to Master Yan."

"What?"

Yue Junshan lowered his head deeply, and went all out: "The general said! Master Yan is not only good at dealing with disasters, but also has a sharp tongue!"

Yu Fangzhi came to his senses, presumably it was Yan Cijing's impassioned words outside the door yesterday that He Qian listened to.

Yan Cijing hadn't spoken yet, but Yu Fangzhi couldn't help it: "Since General He is willing to send someone over, why bother to make sarcastic remarks?"

Yue Junshan pricked his neck and defended: "The general speaks without intention, he is not a vicious and incompetent person, Lord Yan, please don't mind."

"Not vicious? A while ago, I took someone to soak in Linghu for so long before he showed up. Why don't you give me some military pay too?" Yu Fangzhi sneered and was taken away by Yan Cijing.

Yue Junshan retorted loudly: "My general is not what you think!"

Yu Fangzhi was dragged away: "This Yue Junshan is loyal, he is indeed a brother who fought bloody battles on the battlefield."

Yan Cijing let go of him: "You came here just to quarrel with him?"

Yu Fangzhi said solemnly: "Master Yan, don't forget that the stones are all bought from the Yu family. I have to watch over them, and there must be no mistakes in the delivery."

Seriously, it looks like that, Yan Cijing lowered his head and smiled: "Then you go and watch, don't follow me."

"Didn't you pull me here?" Yu Fang knew helplessly, "Did you just laugh?"

"What are you laughing at?" Yan Cijing waved at Luo Sheng, "Master Luo, let me see today's schedule again!"

Yu Fangzhi laughed and scolded him for being heartless, turned around and ran into someone: "Miss Qiu?"

"Young Master Yu, our Qiu family also produced stone, and I came to watch it too." Qiu Ruzhi shook her pink skirt and held a pink handkerchief, not as if she came to supervise the work, but as if she was here to swim in the lake.

Yu Fang knew it strangely: "Then you stand behind me? I am not a stone."

Qiu Ruzhi's smile froze on his face, watching Yu Fangzhi go around her and leave, stomping his feet angrily, unwilling to be left like this, and hurriedly followed.

The sky is clear today, which is very suitable for embankment repairs. The people who have not been busy for a long time are full of energy, and they are unwilling to rest at noon.

Two steamed buns were served with porridge and pickles. The workers fell to the ground to rest after eating, and a piece fell on the edge of Linghu Lake.

Yu Fangzhi came to Yan Cijing with the food box sent by the servants of the Yu family, and happened to see him take a white steamed bun from a child. He also knew this child. Villagers.

"Master Yan..." The child was a little shy, looked back at grandma, stuffed the steamed bun into Yan Cijing's hand, giggled and ran away, hid in grandma's arms and made a fuss for a while, then poked his head out to look again.

Yu Fangzhi sat down beside Yan Cijing: "This child..."

Yan Cijing took a bite of the steamed bun: "The child was brought out from Ax Village. His mother was already dead. Aunt Zhang in the city saw him pitifully, so she took him back to raise him. Today, Aunt Zhang came to see her son, and the child followed her. "

Yu Fangzhi snatched the steamed buns and took two bites: "The bowl of porridge he brought back that day was from the Yu family, why didn't you send steamed buns to thank me?"

Yan Cijing reached out to snatch it, but didn't grab it, and said: "I saw that you and the girl from the Qiu family had a very happy conversation. She brought you a lot of shortbread for you. You must have eaten it comfortably, so why come to grab my steamed bun?"

"I didn't touch it, she just came to ask me where the stone came from—" Yu Fang knew he couldn't speak, and he stopped eating the steamed buns, and grabbed Yan Cijing's palm, "Are you angry?"

Yan Cijing withdrew his hand to cover the scorching sun at noon: "I'm a little angry."

Yu Fangzhi laughed, put his hands on the ground and approached Yan Cijing, obviously he was the one who surrounded Yan Cijing, but it was him who was pounding his heart: "You..."

"It's too hot to cover you!" Yan Cijing pushed him, "You should leave quickly? There is also the girl from the Qiu family. I will send someone to persuade her to go back later."

Yu Fang was puzzled: "Why? Are you unhappy that I am here? You are not happy to see me?"

Talking about it, fearing that he might be dizzy from the sun, Yan Cijing looked at him worriedly, suspecting that he had suffered from heatstroke, but he had to say what he had been holding back for a long time.

"I know that your language family is rich and prosperous, but the ostentation does take up too much space. You see, people serving tea, waiting for sedan chairs, and holding umbrellas are all crowded on the embankment. Stones can't be sent to the front line. What's more What's more, there is a girl from the Qiu family."

Yu Fangzhi was stunned when he heard it: "I stepped on the yellow mud all morning, and my boots and clothes are full of dust, but it's all because of..."

"The transportation of the stone is in place, so you don't have to worry about it?" Yan Cijing heard Yue Junshan call him, his eyes had already drifted away, "You don't have to worry about the next thing."

what is this?

Yu Fangzhi stretched out his hand, wanting to grab Yan Cijing who got up, and took his wide sleeves full of cool water vapor head-on, blocked his sight, but still grabbed his hand.

He pinched his palm viciously and immediately withdrew his hand, stuffing the food box into his hand, Yu Fang knew: "I ate the steamed buns, you eat this."

Without giving Yan Cijing time to refuse the reason, Yu Fangzhi threatened: "If you don't want me, I will stay and supervise the work all afternoon."

Yan Cijing had no choice but to pick up the food box and leave. Yu Fangzhi kept watching until his indigo figure turned into a small dot.

At noon, the sun is bright, and the water on the lake is steaming, filled with the lush duckweed on the water surface. In summer, it grows wildly, not only the green plants in front of you.

Mr. Yan doesn't need language to know, but other places need it.

The status of "Shaodongjia" is not for nothing, and the business of the shop that cannot be managed by a thousand words is managed by the knowledgeable language.

He also disdains the businessman's tact, he won't take a second look at how many good things he sends if the goods are not good, and he will accept the good goods if the price is high. The most powerful point is that he knows where the goods are most suitable. It is rare in the south to sell at a high price, and the exquisite and delicate Shu brocade is in short supply in the north.

"Young master, take a look at this year's Shu brocade, it is so beautiful! It is of high quality and shiny, ouch, touch it, touch it!"

Yu Fangzhi glanced at it: "It's really good."

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled: "You are hot-eyed Jinjing, how dare I fool you with defective products! But this year's epidemic is so troublesome, no matter how good the material is, I can't sell it. If you want, I will give it to you at a low price?"

"Okay, I want it all."

After paying the money, shopkeeper Zhao sent someone to pack the fabrics into boxes and put them on the truck. Yujia's steward came over and asked if the items should be put into the warehouse.

"This piece of red silk," Yu Fangzhi looked at it twice, "do it well."

"Yes." After the steward ordered his servants, he followed Yu Fangzhi and left.

Yu Fangzhi chased him away: "Go and pay the bill, you don't have to follow me."

"Yes."

The steward left, and Yu Fangzhi wandered alone in the narrow alley. He passed by an old man who sold lotus seeds. He grabbed a handful and wanted to buy them. He wrapped a small bag in a banana leaf and held it in his hand. He chewed the fragrant lotus seeds twice. Just spit it out.

"bitter!"

"Master!" Xiao Wu suddenly hung his head from the eaves.

Knowing that he was prepared, Yu Fang was so frightened that he almost stretched his legs to kick him, and said in displeasure, "Ru Ku sent news."

"Yes," Xiao Wu rolled over and fell to the ground, following behind Yu Fangzhi, "Jiangling plague was not reported in time, Zhang Shaoqiu's faction insisted on it, and it was difficult for Wei Cheng to completely remove himself. Che Baoshuai's idea."

"Oh? Then who is he going to abandon?" Yu Fangzhi took the list from Xiao Wu.

"These are the officials related to this matter, they are all petty officials without real power."

"I saw an acquaintance," Yu Fangzhi pointed to a name, "Isn't this the brother-in-law of General He Qianhe?"

Xiao Wu: "The master means..."

How can a petty official have the right to speak?Yu Fangzhi said intentionally: "He dares to delay the Jiangling where the brother-in-law is staying, but he is too ruthless and ungrateful!"

Yu Fangzhi stuffed the list back into Xiao Wu's hands: "Then let's teach General He a lesson!"

Xiao Wu agreed, not planning to leave, hesitantly: "Master...you go home...be sure to take care."

"What do you mean?" Yu Fang knew if he understood, "What happened at home?"

"What's wrong?" Yu Wanqian was furious in the front hall, "Calm down? It's fine that brat keeps sneaking into my warehouse, and he even took away the white jade at the bottom of my box!"

"If I didn't want to find out and carve a God of Wealth, how long would he want to hide it from me?"

"Carving the God of Wealth? Thanks to him for thinking it out?" Yu Fangzhi was stopped by the butler as soon as he entered the door.

"Master, the master is getting angry, you must be careful!"

Yu Wanqian got angry every day, Yu Fang knew it and didn't care too much, he threw the lotus seeds into the butler's hand, "Give it to him, go get rid of the fire."

When Yu Wanqian saw the lotus seed, it was the three corpses who jumped up violently, their internal organs were so angry that they led people to surround Yu Fangzhi's yard to make it impenetrable, and they were arrested!

Xiao Qing hid in the corner and persuaded: "Master, why don't you go out to hide tonight?"

Yu Fangzhi grinned, "Okay!"
