Huaxi Chronicle

When Xun Feibai came to the study, he happened to meet the treasure box coming out of the room.

In the room, Yan Cong'an was leaning on the low couch beside him, his eyes were slightly closed, his right hand rested on his forehead, and his white fingers were rubbing between his brows.

Xun Feibai walked in slowly, sat by the couch, brushed her forehead, and asked softly: "But encountered difficulties?"

Yan Cong'an opened her eyes when she heard a familiar voice, but before she could see the person in front of her clearly, she smelled a faint fragrance of peach blossoms.She knew that Cui Jiaze's brother and sister would come to the villa today, but how could this person be contaminated with other people's scent after drinking tea.

Yan Cong'an frowned slightly and said, "I don't like the smell on your body."

Xun Feibai was taken aback when she heard the words, she raised her arms, and there was a faint fragrance of peach blossoms on her cuffs.She secretly sighed in her heart, Yan Cong'an's nose is really easy to use, if there is any fragrance, if she doesn't smell it carefully, she can't detect half of it at all.

She chuckled lightly, and explained: "When I was going out just now, Xiao Mu stepped on the ground and almost fell, so I reached out to help her, it must have been infected at that time."

After listening to her explanation, Yan Cong'an's expression remained the same, and he only responded softly: "Yes."

Seeing this, Xun Feibai chuckled lightly and said, "Since I'm not happy with Cong'an, I'll go change my clothes." After speaking, he got up and left the study.If Xun Feibai could turn around and take a look at this moment, he could see the woman on the couch slightly relaxing her brows, looking at her leaving back with a smile in her eyes.

Xun Feibai went back to the house and changed his clothes. He washed his hands again for fear of the scent remaining on his hands, and found the sachet containing jasmine flowers from the closet, and hung it on his waist.She raised her hand and sniffed again, and left the room after confirming that there was no peach blossom fragrance.

When Xun Feibai changed his clothes and returned to the study, Yan Cong'an was leaning on the low couch and looking through the account books. Seeing her walk in, he put down the account books in his hand and raised his eyebrows at Xun Feibai with a smile.

The beautiful woman smiled at Bai Meisheng, and Xun Feibai's heart trembled slightly. She took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in her heart, walked to the couch and sat beside Yan Cong'an.

As soon as this person approached, the faint fragrance of jasmine wafted from her body, Yan Cong was relieved to be happy, and approached Xun Feibai proactively, as if rewarding him, leaned sideways and kissed lightly on the corner of Xun Feibai's lips. He left in an instant.

Soft and sweet lips were imprinted on the corners of his mouth, Xun Fei's white eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, looking at the person beside him with a reddish complexion, but pretending that nothing happened, and lowering his eyes to read a book, he had some bad thoughts in his heart, and the person on his mouth couldn't help joking: : "Just now Cong An is because of the peach blossom balsamic vinegar on my body?"

Yan Cong'an raised his eyes pretending to be reading a book, and gave her a light glance, the corners of his brows slightly raised, with a trace of anger.But looking at her appearance, Xun Fei's white eyes didn't show the slightest bit of blame, but felt that the beauty in front of him was extraordinarily charming and alluring.

He leaned over and pressed a kiss on her forehead, and said with a slight smile: "I was the one who made a mistake. How could a magnanimous person like Cong'an become jealous because of such a trivial matter? Fei Bai treats his lady like a villain." belly."

Hearing the teasing meaning in her words, Yan Cong'an slightly lowered his eyebrows, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.Yan Cong'an raised her head and looked at Xun Feibai with a smile on her face. She put down the account book in her hand, put her arms around her neck, and leaned into Xun Feibai's ear and called softly, "Feibai~"

The voice is as clear and crisp as a ring pendant, and the ending is mellow with a touch of sweetness and softness, like a drop of nectar dripping into Xun Feibai's heart, moistening the entire heart lake.

She tilted her head slightly, and kissed Yan Cong'an's brows, eyes, and nose softly and intensively, and the kiss went all the way down to the soft lips.

Followed by her kiss, Yan Cong'an raised his head slightly to meet her, put one arm around Xun Feibai, the other hand slowly slid down, brushed slowly over Xun Feibai's back, and finally rested on her waist.

Xun Feibai parted her lips slightly, holding the soft and sweet lips. She rolled her tongue and pried open Yan Cong'an's teeth, trying to absorb more sweetness.But at this moment, she only felt a pain in her waist, and she let out a muffled snort, recovering from the love that was about to surge.

At this time, Yan Cong Anzheng slightly bent his fingers, clamped the soft flesh around Xun Feibai's waist, and twisted it gently.

Xun Fei frowned slightly, and raised his eyes to look at the person below him.

Yan Cong'an's apricot eyes were slightly bent, and he was looking at her with a smile on his brow.

Xun Feibai wanted to get up, but the lotus arms around her neck refused to let her go.The four lips of the two were still close together, Yan Cong'an's lips gently contained Xun Feibai's upper lip, biting and licking from time to time, the light tongue slipped into her mouth, leading the other soft part to play together.

The sweet nectar blended between the lips and tongue, and the soft and sweet breath between the tip of the nose carried a hint of heat, and Xun Feibai's heart was burned like a prairie fire, and she couldn't help but indulge in it again, but the pain in her waist was not obvious, but It always makes her unable to concentrate, it is really a sweet torture.

After being lingering like this for less than half a moment, Xun Feibai really couldn't stand such teasing and torture, raised his wet eyes, and looked at Yan Cong'an begging for mercy.

The smile on Yan Cong'an's eyebrows became even wider, and the 'qi' in her heart dissipated completely. She stopped the movement of her lips, loosened her arms slightly, and let go of the poor man on her body.

Feeling the slowing force on his neck, Xun Feibai couldn't wait to leave those sweet lips for the first time, and then buried his head in Yan Cong'an's neck with some grievances, calling pitifully in a hoarse voice: "Cong'an , I hurt~"

Hearing her aggrieved tone, Yan Cong'an narrowed his brows and eyes slightly, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, thinking to himself that he hadn't controlled the strength well just now, and slowly opened the hand on her waist, rubbing gently It was there just now.

Xun Feibai felt the gentle movement of his waist, and felt happy in his heart, but there was another look on his face.She frowned slightly, pulled the corners of her mouth, took a breath, let out a hiss, and then begged for mercy in a low voice: "Cong'an~"

Yan Cong'an felt more guilty, he kept massaging with one hand, and stroked Xun Feibai's back with the other, comforting him, "Blame me, I won't joke with you like this next time."

Xun Feibai was overjoyed when he heard the words, and rubbed his cheek against Yan Cong'an's neck in a fawning manner, and let out a soft noise from his nose: "Mmm~"

The two of them slumped on the low couch for a while, then slowly got up and sat down at the desk to drink tea.

"The treasure box came here just now, but there is something to report? Is it about private salt, or is there any progress in the matter of managing money?"

Talking about this, Yan Cong'an frowned and said, "The foreman who was doing the work back then passed away due to illness."

Xun Feibai asked: "Then the owner of the quarry can be found?"

Yan Cong'an shook his head slightly, and said weakly: "In the past few years, the owner of the quarry has changed several times, and the person in charge of the treasure box has not yet been found."

This matter is really tricky, and the traces that can be investigated have now been cut off.

Xun Feibai thought for a while, and then asked: "Is there any clue about the private salt?"

Yan Cong'an shook his head: "For the time being, the treasure box only found out that the private salt was sold in the ten-day market, and there were no fixed stalls or shops. She went to the market a few days ago and walked around a few times. , have never seen anyone selling private salt.”

Xun Feibai thought for a while and said, "Perhaps the person who sold it didn't directly sell it on the street, or he pretended to be another vendor, so the treasure box was not found."

Yan Cong'an agreed, "It's possible."

Xun Feibai thought of something, immediately smiled and said, "I have an idea."

Yan Cong'an replied, "What's your idea?"

Xun Feibai smiled and said: "Next time when the treasure box goes again, let her change into a shabby coarse cloth, dress up as an ordinary village woman, and then go to each stall to take a closer look." She paused, and continued: "Remember, the accent must be similar to that of people from Huaxi County."

Yan Cong'an heard the truth in her words, nodded his head clearly, picked up a piece of tea with a smile, and fed it to Xun Feibai's mouth: "Fei Bai is really smart!"

Xun Feibai opened his mouth to eat the pastry, and the tip of his tongue brushed Yan Cong'an's fingertips unintentionally.Sensing the softness between his fingers, Yan Cong'an cast a reproachful glance at her.

Xun Feibai raised his hand and rubbed his waist pretendingly, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Seeing this, Yan Cong'an asked concerned: "Does it still hurt?"

Xun Feibai took the opportunity to grab her hand, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, if Cong'an evening..."

Yan Cong'an looked at her hands covering her waist, and at her hesitant to speak, seemed to understand.She raised her eyebrows, and interrupted her words with a slight smile: "It's all my fault for being inappropriate. Fei Bai undressed and let me see. If it's serious, I'll rub some medicinal wine for you." People go to bed.

Xun Feibai wanted to take this opportunity to ask for more benefits for himself, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Yan Cong'an.Hearing that she was going to take off her clothes to check, Dang even swallowed the rest of the words, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Yan Cong'an to sit down, and refused in his mouth: "It shouldn't be that serious, just take it easy, take it easy gone."

Yan Cong'an took the opportunity to sit down, and half-truthfully said: "Really? Fei Bai don't want to be brave, let me take a look and feel at ease."

Xun Feibai hurriedly nodded and said, "It's serious, it's serious, it's not trying to be brave."

Yan Cong'an picked up a piece of refreshment with his fingers, fed it to Xun Feibai's mouth again, and said with a smile, "Just now Feibai said what happened tonight?"

This time Xun Feibai ate the tea in a regular manner, without any naughty movements of his little tongue.After hearing Yan Cong'an's question, he swallowed the tea hastily, waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, nothing, I just missed something."

Yan Cong'an nodded knowingly, and poured her another cup of tea.

Xun Feibai thought of someone while drinking tea, and hurriedly said to Yan Cong'an: "The black girl mentioned one person that day, and it was the cook of the kitchen in the villa. She bought the black girl's piece of salt from the market, and you let the treasure box follow him." She may also be able to find some clues."

Yan Cong'an nodded and said, "I'll tell her later."

The white horses pass by, and time flies.

On this day, Xun Feibai went to Huaxi County to see off Cui Jiaze's brother and sister and came back, and met Lu Cunzheng at the entrance of the village.

Lu Cun was reaching out to stop her, and said cheerfully, "Fei Bai, I just happened to meet you here, so it will save me a trip. A long table banquet will be held in the village at noon the next day to celebrate this year's harvest, and at the same time Thank you two except for the bully Gou Erlang, you will definitely come with San Niangzi when the time comes."

Xun Feibai said modestly: "The village chief must not be so polite. Everyone contributed their efforts that day, and I am not the only one who deserves credit."

Lu Cunzheng patted her on the shoulder in relief: "Humble and reasonable, you are really a good young man, don't forget to have dinner together at noon."

Xun Feibai responded with a smile, bid farewell to Lu Village, and returned to the villa.

Lanxi Villa.

At noon, Xun Feibai and Yan Cong'an had lunch and were playing chess in the study.

Boom, boom, boom.

The two looked up, and saw that the treasure box was wearing coarse linen clothes, a cloth scarf on its head, and was dressed as a peasant woman.She walked quickly into the house, bowed and saluted: "Third lady, young master."

Today, Xun Xiu, the treasure box went to the market in Taohualing early in the morning, and he came back at this hour, so he should have found a clue.

"Today, I secretly followed Mrs. Li from the village to the market, and I did find the stall selling coarse salt. As Mrs. Xun expected, the stall did not sell salt, but pickled vegetables. If Ordinary people go to buy, they only sell pickled vegetables. If they are acquaintances, the peddler will take the money and will give the person a small bamboo tube without asking too much."

Xun Fei said clearly: "Then the bamboo tube is private salt?"

The treasure box paused for a moment, and then said: "The cook left the villa early this morning before dawn, and she carried a bamboo basket when she went out. When she arrived at the market, she went straight to the pickle stall selling illegal salt. But she didn't go to the stall to buy salt, but handed over a dozen small bamboo tubes in the bamboo basket to the vendor."

Xun Feibai was surprised and said, "Is the peddler's private salt provided by this cook?"

The treasure box said in a deep voice, "Exactly."

Yan Cong'an's heart sank when he heard this.She originally wanted to follow Xun Feibai's wishes to investigate the private salt matter, and after finding out the clues, she directly reported it to the official for handling. She didn't want to participate more, but she never thought that it was finally found out that the cook of the villa was selling it privately.In this way, this matter has to be thoroughly investigated if it doesn't want to be investigated, otherwise it will be known in the future, and it may affect the villa.

But Yan Cong'an couldn't figure it out, Jiangnan Mansion is not facing the sea, so it cannot produce sea salt, and Chaozhou City, which is next to Jiangnan Mansion, is surrounded by the sea to the east and is rich in sea salt.

Where did a little cook in the villa get the sea salt in her hand?And there are only a dozen small bamboo tubes of salt, how much profit can you make by selling it loosely in the market?A vendor of pickles?Cook?

Yan Cong'an's eyes flashed, and he asked aloud: "The peddler and the cook are in the same family?"

The treasure box nodded and said: "I heard the conversation between the two, and the peddler is the cook brother."

When Xun Feibai heard this, he was a little puzzled and said: "Selling private salt is a felony. I have heard in the past that people who sell private salt sell large quantities of private salt to restaurants or wealthy households in private, so that they can hide themselves and gain money." Great profits."

"It's the first time I've seen someone like Cook Li selling salt in a dozen or so small bamboo tubes, and it's not worth a lot of money. Not to mention that the two of them dared to sell it in the market blatantly."

Xun Feibai said, seeming to remember something interesting, and said with a smile, "Why do I think that Li cook is like those servants in the drama who steal things from the master's house and sell them?"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Cong'an suddenly became enlightened, and said with a slight smile, "Fei Bai really has a quick mind."

Xun Feibai was a little baffled by her praise. After thinking for a while, he immediately understood: "Is Cong'an saying that Cook Li stole the salt from the villa and sold it to her younger brother?"

Yan Cong'an thought for a while and pondered: "I don't know yet, but this Li cook is in the villa every day, if she didn't steal it from this villa, where would she get it?"

Xun Feibai was surprised and said: "If she stole it in this villa, it means that someone in our villa has hidden sea salt."

Yan Cong'an turned the teacup in his hand, pondered: "I think this is more likely." He raised his head and ordered to the treasure box: "You go to Yuzhu and ask her to tell Cook Li that you did something wrong. After the incident, I was fined to do odd jobs in the kitchen. In the past few days, you have to stare at that cook Li to see where she got the sea salt from."

After receiving the order, the treasure box bowed and retreated, and went out.
