Interstellar female dressed as country dude

Xie Huaiyu left for a few days, Baishu took care of the affairs of Baiyu Villa every day as usual, but his heart was empty.

Sometimes when he went back to his room to rest, as soon as he opened the door, he couldn't help looking at the bed behind the screen, always feeling that there seemed to be someone lying behind, just like when Xie Huaiyu was still there.

He didn't even want to go to the balcony of the room.Looking from above, one can see the old Xie family house in the distance at a glance.

A few days ago, there was an exquisite and elegant garden.Now it has been completely burned to a pile of coke.

Xie Huaiyu didn't take away the remaining servants of Xie's family, and Bai Shu arranged them in Baiyu Villa, so it was settled.

As for the children, he hired another kung fu master to teach them martial arts.

In mid-April, Wan Ruyi came.

He heard that something happened to Xie's family this time, and he was a little worried about Bai Shu, so he came to see him.

When he came, he also brought a letter.It was sent from Nanyang, and it has something to do with Biezhuang.

Bai Shu disassembled it and took a look. Sure enough, as he expected, several craftsmen listened to Bai Shu, and the foundation construction and other matters went smoothly.But when it comes to Zhuangzi's arrangement, Wankang disagrees with them.

Wankang is optimistic about Baiyu Villa because of its beautiful layout, but those craftsmen want to change the layout of Zhuangzi and adopt a rough Nanyang style design.

Although the three craftsmen went to Nanyang with Wankang, they actually obeyed Xie Huaiyu and Baishu.At this time, because of this dispute, the construction period was delayed.

There are many heavy rains in Nanyang in summer, so it is impossible to repair the house.Therefore, this Zhuangzi needs to be repaired before the rainy season.

Now, if there is an extra day of delay, there is an extra risk of not being able to complete the project.If the Zhuangzi cannot be repaired before the rainy season, the construction will have to be postponed until after autumn, and the loss will be too great.

After receiving the letter, Bai Shu decided to go to Nanyang in person.

After he personally inspects the site and makes a decision, Wankang probably won't be able to argue with him.

Hearing that Bai Shu was going to Nanyang, Wan Ruyi sent Wan's experienced old steward to accompany him there, and borrowed Wan's merchant ship.

With the backing of the Wan family, Baishu naturally has no worries along the way, but he arrived in Nanyang in seven days...

·

It has been half a month since Xie Huaiyu returned to Beijing. When he returned, he was escorted by Qi Qinyue, with bandages all over his body.

Xie Huaiyu had just secured his position as the heir to the Earl's Mansion when he encountered such a catastrophe, everyone had a lot of speculation.Even Lou Shi and Xie Qi had a lot of criticism.

Xie Huaiyu almost lost his life in the countryside, so naturally there will be no such short-sighted people criticizing him for Xiaozhong's early return to Beijing.

Besides, Xie Huaiyu's grandmother is not alone, Mr. Xie, Mrs. Xie, and Xie Qi all stayed well in the capital. Xie Huaiyu, the eldest son, has been extremely filial when he goes to the countryside for a year.

Not long after Xie Huaiyu returned to Beijing, rumors spread from nowhere, saying that he was the merchant with the surname Tang, and that the surname Tang was just a pseudonym, and he was in charge of a lot of business.

Everyone still remembers the fact that the merchant surnamed Tang donated 30 shi for the victims of the disaster. Now that he heard about this, Xie Huaiyu's reputation among the people of Daxuan has risen to a new level.Even Lord Liu's faction, who was at odds with his father, couldn't fault him.

Now that Xie Huaiyu has status and money, he is unrivaled in the limelight in Beijing.

Coupled with the fact that the second prince Zhao Liang, who was close to him, had recently won the Sacred Heart, he had a faint intention of surpassing Zhao Yan.

The weeds began to waver one after another, and the courtiers who used to wear a pair of trousers with Zhao Yan also extended olive branches to him.All kinds of banquet invitations keep coming, and they all want to get acquainted with this young talent like him.

If it turned out that Xie Huaiyu didn't really want to accept these invitations, but now that he is clearly sided with Zhao Liang, this invitation cannot be refused.

Just like today, he was invited to Wen Shangshu's poetry banquet together with Zhao Liang.

This Wen Shangshu belongs to the school of Xinchen, with outstanding literary talent, and he was once the champion of the new department, and he always prides himself on being noble.

Now in this banquet, they are extremely enthusiastic towards Xie Huaiyu, and they don't hesitate to praise him, obviously they appreciate him very much.

Xie Huaiyu is in good health now, and it is not convenient for him to drink alcohol.At the poetry banquet for the couple, after writing a few short poems like others, they nestled in the corner drinking tea and eating vegetables.

After a while, there was a commotion in the main hall.It turned out that it was the family members who attended the banquet at Wen Shangshu's home who came to greet him.

Among them are several women or brothers who are in their young age.They are fat and thin, with outstanding appearance, which makes the unmarried young men in this hall a little impetuous, as if they are overwhelmed by the talents and looks of these women and buddies.

Although Daxuan is guarded between men and women, the folk customs are not so conservative that men and women cannot see each other.

Especially among the nobles in the royal palace, they often take their daughters or brothers of the right age to go out during the banquet. If this son is both talented and beautiful, he can meet a good match.

For example, the present sage had caught sight of Empress Qi's family during the banquet, and within three months, he went to ask for it himself.

Attending the banquet together this time were Liu Shilang's daughter-in-law Liu Shuangfei, brother-in-law Liu Min, eldest daughter of Lu Yushi's concubine Lu Qin, brother-in-law Lu Yun, daughter-in-law Wei Ling of Marquis Wei's family, brother-in-law Wei Yu, Wen Xiu'e, the eldest daughter of Wen Shangshu, Wen Yaoguang, the eldest brother, etc...

There are also a few women or brothers among them, because their status is lower and their temperament is not as good as these noble women, so they stand in the back submissively and are not noticed by others.

There seems to be a secret rivalry among the women or brothers who came together.

They are all grown up now, and when they reach the age of marriage, they naturally want to find a good husband.

Now that they come to this banquet to meet the young talents, each of them has written a lot about them.

Some are luxurious and gorgeous, some are sweet and delicate, some are fresh and elegant, each has its own merits.

Among them, Liu Shuangfei, Wei Ling and Wen Xiu'e are particularly eye-catching.Not only because of their beauty, but also because of their identities.

If it is required to take a regular wife, the daughter of the first son is naturally the first consideration of these young talents.

"Brother Ruishi, among these women, which one do you think looks better?" Zhao Liang came to sit next to Xie Huaiyu, knocked him with a folding fan and asked in a low voice.

Zhao Liang has also reached the age of getting married now, and needs to find a suitable wife for himself.

The choice of a wife must be considered in many ways. In addition to the power behind it, character and temperament are also indispensable.

Hearing Zhao Liang's question like this, Xie Huaiyu looked up.

Only among those family members who came to join the banquet.Liu Shuangfei has a bright appearance, a flamboyant personality, and extremely luxurious attire.

Wei Ling seemed to be much quieter, being with his concubine brother Wei Yu, looked a little quiet.

And the one who stands out the most is Wen Xiu'e, the eldest daughter of Wen Shangshu. She is not only beautiful and generous, but also a talented woman with a literary name in the capital.

When Xie Huaiyu looked over, he saw that Wen Xiu'e was surrounded by several young talents, writing a small poem with a pen.

Compared with other female relatives, she didn't dress very luxuriously, she was wearing a fresh and elegant green dress.A small melon-seeded face, with a sharp chin, a small nose bridge, and a few crabapple flowers on the temples. .

This Wen Xiu'e was indeed a delicate beauty, Xie Huaiyu looked at her thoughtfully.

Wen Xiu'e seemed to have noticed it, and suddenly raised her head, met Xie Huaiyu's eyes, blushed, and nodded slightly.

Seeing the behavior between the two, Zhao Liang smiled lightly and said, "Brother Ruishi, what do you think of the Wen parents and daughters?"

He and Xie Huaiyu are now in the same faction. If Xie Huaiyu can form a relationship with Wen Shangshu, he will be the same as him, and it will be good for him.

Xie Huaiyu glanced at Zhao Liang and said, "Among the three, if you want to choose a wife, I think the second daughter of the Wei family is the best, followed by Liu Shuangfei, the daughter of the Wen family is not suitable."

Zhao Liang was taken aback by what he said, and said, "Brother Ruishi has just watched Wen Xiu'e for a long time, how can he have such a low opinion of her?"

Xie Huaiyu smiled and said: "I'm looking at her chin, it looks a bit like Bai Shu, but it's not as cute as Bai Shu's chin."

Zhao Liang: "..."

Xie Huaiyu paused after finishing speaking, and then continued: "This girl is too scheming, if Zhong Li you really marry home, I'm afraid it will disturb the peace of the family. If you want to marry the Wen family, you can consider Nawen The elder brother of the family is a concubine, although his appearance is not as good as his daughter, but his temperament is like a tough one."

Zhao Liang turned his head and looked at Wen Xiu'e again. Seeing him looking over, the woman also smiled and nodded.

Zhao Liang didn't have any thoughts about her, he just stared at her chin for a while.

He had also seen the side of the little brother Xie Huaiyu liked, but he couldn't see why his chin was better than Wen Xiu'e's.It seems that Brother Rui Shi is deeply fascinated by that little brother Bai, and other women and brothers are out of his sight.

After a while, from Xie Huaiyu's and Zhao Liang's side, some female relatives came to greet them.

That Liu Shuangfei was beautiful and ambitious.A pair of eyes fell on Zhao Liang's body, and the eyes were clear.

Wei Ling treated both of them equally, her behavior was impeccable, and she couldn't see which one she preferred more.But Wei Yu, the concubine brother next to him, took a few more glances at Xie Huaiyu.

A handsome man like Xie Huaiyu naturally attracts attention, and this skin can make many people fall in love with him.

When the children of the Wen family came over, Wen Xiu'e's eyes turned tactfully, and she hesitated for a long time among Zhao Liang and Xie Huaiyu.

Because of Xie Huaiyu's words, Zhao Liang did not communicate with her more, but asked her younger brother Wen Yaoguang a few more words.

Wen Xiu'e originally fell in love with Xie Huaiyu, but seeing that Zhao Liang only talked to Wen Yaoguang and ignored her, she turned her head to get Zhao Liang's attention.

After leaving Wen's house, Zhao Liang said to Xie Huaiyu, "Thank you, Brother Ruishi, for your advice today."

Xie Huaiyu smiled lightly and said: "It seems that soon, maybe we will be able to have Zhongli's wedding wine."

Zhao Liang smiled tacitly and said, "I just wonder when will Brother Ruishi's wedding wine be available?"

The smile on Xie Huaiyu's face faded a bit, and he sighed and said, "Then it depends on when that brother Zhong Li will be able to stand firm, and then I can really rest easy."

·

In the eldest prince's mansion, Zhao Yan overturned all the dishes on the dining table with a bang.

"Wen Zhongqin, that old bastard! He didn't wince at all, and he blatantly switched to Zhao Liang's side!

Wenfu held a banquet today and invited many young talents, but did not post to Zhao Yan.

With such an attitude, it is very clear that he is going to stand in line with Zhao Liang.

He sent people disguised as thieves to kill Xie Huaiyu, originally it was foolproof.

But Xie Huaiyu did not know where to find a formidable guard, who disrupted his plan, escaped, and caused him to lose many people.

These people are all dead soldiers whom he has carefully raised for a long time. There are more than 500 people in total. He sent more than 200 people, but only a few dozen came back!

Zhao Yan felt resentful in his heart, and hated Xie Huaiyu even more.

Since Xie Huaiyu returned to Beijing, he has announced his identity behind him, and his net worth has risen again.

Now Zhao Liang is getting more and more embarrassing in front of the emperor, and he has snatched the limelight of the eldest prince.

"Young master, I heard that at today's banquet, the Wen family, the Zhao family, and the Wei family all seemed to intend to marry their children to Xie Huaiyu." A middle-aged man with two beards said: "If Xie Huaiyu and If any of their families marry, Zhao Liang's power will grow a little bit more, then we will be passive..."

He was one of Zhao Yan's counselors, and he often helped him with advice and advice. Now that he got the news from outside, he immediately reported it to his master.

Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and began to calculate in his heart.

He is about the same age as Zhao Liang, and they are both at the age of talking about marriage now.

He has nothing to do with the Qi family, so the queen has already chosen his cousin as his wife.

Although that cousin of the Qi family was beautiful in appearance, she was really arrogant and did not like him very much.And it is impossible for those famous ladies outside to be his concubines.

At that time, those talented women in the capital will take advantage of Zhao Liang, Xie Huaiyu and others!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan felt uneasy, and his expression was cloudy and unpredictable.

Seeing this, the middle-aged counselor took a step forward and said, "Young master, just take a look at this."

After finishing speaking, he placed a mahogany box in front of him.

Zhao Yan didn't understand why he opened the box, only to see that there were many bank notes and some shop deeds inside.

"This is..." Zhao Yan asked with a frown.

"The person sent to thank the family that day snatched it from the servant of the Xie family." said the counselor.

Zhao Yan snorted when he heard the words: "Even if these tens of thousands of taels of silver and several store deeds were robbed, it would not hurt Xie Huaiyu at all. It is really tasteless. Doesn't my Qi family have this little money? What's more, this store deed has been recorded in the government, and he thanked Huaiyu to go through the formalities, although it was a bit troublesome, he also got it back."

But the counselor said: "The key is not the silver and the store deed, but the letter inside."

Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows, and only then did he see that there was an old envelope underneath, and when he opened it, it was signed by the deceased Lord Xie.

"Thank you for the letter from the old man? How long has he been dead?" Zhao Yan didn't take it seriously, and continued to look at it for a while, his eyes lit up, and there was a hint of joy on his face, and said: "This letter is here It's really wonderful! It seems that this time I went to Xie's house, and I didn't gain anything!"

·

Xie Qi thought about her mistakes behind closed doors at home, and hadn't left the house for a month.

His cronies and friends also cut off contact with him, but none of them showed up.

After smashing the items in the room that day, he was punished by Lord Xie.The room was bare, and there were no vases or decorations.

Xie Qi was originally very angry, and her temper was also particularly violent.After a long time, I seem to be used to it. I am locked at home writing articles all day, but I feel more peaceful.

On this day, Xie Qi was practicing calligraphy at home as usual, and received a gift from the eldest prince Zhao Yan.

That day in the palace, Zhao Yan had already distanced himself from him, and he didn't know why he was sending something now?

Xie Qi sneered, opened the package on the table, and saw a box inside.There was a letter in the box.

He opened the letter and saw that the handwriting was his grandfather's.

Xie Qi read the handwritten letter at a glance, with a hint of ecstasy on her face.

He immediately asked the waiter around him to find his mother Lou, and after a while, he saw Lou bringing a personal maid over.

Since the last incident, Lou has aged a lot overnight.In the past, she looked like a young woman, but now she looks no different from the woman who was nearly forty.

"Mother! Look at this!" Xie Qi handed the letter to Lou.

After reading it, Lou asked, "Why do you have this letter? Is what it says true or false?"

She was played by Xie Huaiyu before, but now she is much more vigilant, and she no longer dares to believe anything easily.

"This is a souvenir from the First Prince." Xie Qi said, Xie Huaiyu came back this time, and the person who benefited the most was Zhao Liang. With the First Prince's temperament, he should be eager to get rid of him. .

When Lou heard the words, she nodded and said: "Xie Huaiyu met a thief at home before. Many people in Beijing suspected that you and I did it. I also wondered if he directed and acted on his own. Now it seems that the person who did it I'm afraid it's His Royal Highness. Your grandfather's souvenir should be in the Xie family's old house, but somehow it got into the hands of His Highness. It seems that his people snatched it from Xie's house, so it makes sense."

"Mother, this hand letter says that in order to repay the life-saving grace, the descendants of the Xie family should be married to the descendants of the Bai family. Isn't this Bai family a villager in the village?" Xie Qi said: "Xie Huaiyu is doing well now. I don't know what kind of laughing stock I will become if I marry a village woman!"

"I want him to be laughed at by everyone!" Having said this, Lou gritted his teeth.

Xie Huaiyu designed so that Xie Qi would have a concubine and children without getting married, and now there are no girls from good families to choose from.

But if Xie Huaiyu could only marry a village woman, that would be a big joke. No matter what Xie Qi's wife is, her status must be much higher than that of this village woman.

"Qi'er, don't worry." Mrs. Lou said to Xie Qi: "His Royal Highness delivered the letter in time, and Xie Huaiyu won't be proud for long. After a while, there will be the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, and mother will arrange it properly." .”

"Mother...do you want to?" Xie Qi asked: "Xie Huaiyu is now the heir to the title, and father wants him to marry a noble daughter to shine in the family. If he knows about this, he will definitely blame you!"

"He has been seduced by those little goblins now, and he has long since stopped talking to me!" Lou's eyes were full of hatred: "Then Zhao Liang got a few beautiful women from somewhere, Send it to your father, how can he see me as a wife now!"

"Even if I try my best, I will make this hand letter public at the banquet. In front of so many people, I will see what Xie Huaiyu will do!" Lou said: "If he refuses this marriage .It is unfilial, if he agrees to this marriage, he will marry a village woman!"

Thinking of this, Lou's heart was a little bit happy: "Even if your father blames it, it's nothing more than that. Xie Huaiyu's future is gone, and he will definitely spend more time on you. Qi'er, I have a few days I will arrange a marriage for you in the next day, and I will marry the daughter of the third room of the Lou family. If you work hard to get a good name, you will have a bright future in the future."

"But the third-bedroom cousin is just an unfavored concubine..." Xie Qi said unwillingly. Although Lou's family is a noble family, he originally despised a three-bedroom unfavored concubine.

"What about a concubine, after all, she is a girl from the Hou family, so her status is noble!" Lou frowned and scolded: "My mother is also a concubine from the Hou family, so she married your father, don't you think that your mother's status is not enough?"

"Of course my son doesn't mean that..." Xie Qi said, "She also looks..."

But he thought in his heart that when his own mother married his father, it was just a continuation, if not, the status of a concubine would not be enough.

"Although the concubine is not favored, she is soft-tempered, and she is easy to marry." Lou explained him, "It doesn't matter if she is not beautiful enough. You marry some more beautiful concubines and put them on the table." It's good to serve in the room."

When Xie Qi heard the words, she felt that it made sense, she nodded, and followed Lou's arrangement.

Xie Huaiyu naturally had no knowledge of Lou's and Xie Qi's plans.

How could he have expected that his enemy would surprise him at the Dragon Boat Festival a few days later.

At the same time, the South Seas.

Bai Shu had already persuaded Wankang to finalize Zhuangzi's plan.

Wankang originally thought that Baishu's current glory was mostly due to Xie Huaiyu's relationship.

But after Bai Shu came to the construction site of Nanyang Biezhuang, Wan Kang discovered that Bai Shu was only easy to talk in front of Xie Huaiyu.

Even when discussing the plan with him, it was clear and organized, and his aura was so overwhelming that he couldn't speak.

At some point, he was led away by Bai Shu, and when he looked back, he had endured the humiliation and lost power, and all his original opinions were rejected.

However, Bai Shu's visit dispelled the worries in his heart.

After listening to Baishu's analysis, Zhuangzi from Nanyang focuses on seascapes.

There is no pond in the garden, but a large lawn with local coconuts, palms and other plants.

There are many tropical fruit trees planted behind the house, and the melons and fruits will be fragrant in all seasons. I don't know what effect it will have.

When Bai Shu first arrived in Nanyang, he liked the scenery here very much.

The vast sea makes people feel calm, and it is even more different from the small river in Baitang Village.

The locals mostly eat seafood, and there are many fruits that taste fresh and sweet, and they have their own flavors with Jiangnan cuisine.

When Bai Zhu looked at the seascape and ate seafood and fruit juice in Nanyang, he often thought of Xie Huaiyu in his heart.

Xie Huaiyu loves to eat and has a lot of research on food, but he has never been to Nanyang.

When Beijing and China are pacified in the future, Zhuangzi in Nanyang will also be repaired.He wanted to bring Xie Huaiyu back again so that he could see the scenery of Nanyang.

Bai Shu is quite fond of Nanyang, and after the affairs of the village were arranged, he was not in a hurry to leave, and stayed for a few days.

He went to the market in the city every day to visit the market in Nanyang.

But within a few days, he discovered that the Wan family had brought Daxuan's porcelain and fabrics, and sold them at high prices among the nobles in Nanyang.

Daxuan's ordinary porcelain only sells for ten Wen in Fucheng, but it costs fifty Wen in Nanyang.And the ordinary fabrics that cost one penny and one foot in Fucheng cost at least five pennies to start in Nanyang.

Nanyang is rich in pearls, and a pea-sized pearl is only one tael, and it will cost dozens of taels to sell in Fucheng.

With such huge profits, it's no wonder that Wanjia became the number one richest man in Daxuan.
