The soldiers brought by Qi Qinyue stood by the pond in the backyard, looked at the sika deer placed aside and asked curiously: "Brother Bai, why are you catching so many sika deer?"

Bai Shu held down the head of a male deer, lovingly touched the antlers on its head and said: "Cutting off the antler, this antler is a good thing, it nourishes the kidneys and produces essence, and eating it is good for one's health."

The sika deer shuddered and shivered.

Qi Qinyue was in the study not far away, and the words of Bai Shu and the soldier wafted into his ears, making him gasp.

Brother Bai has caught so many deer, is it because he wants to cut the velvet antlers for Xie Huaiyu's body?

He shook his head and thought, no, I still have to advise my friends in a while, although this matter is fun, but don't be greedy for too much, don't force yourself, or you will lose your body!

Xie Huaiyu walked in at this moment, and sat down opposite Qi Qinyue with a calm face.

He changed his clothes, washed up briefly, and returned to his usual dusty appearance.

"Brother Ziyun, I'm bothering you this time." Xie Huaiyu cupped his hands towards Qi Qinyue and said, "I didn't expect the matter to be resolved so smoothly, but it made you go for nothing."

"There's no need to say thank you between you and me." Qi Qinyue said, "But..."

He glanced at Xie Huaiyu's pure and ascetic face, then at Bai Shu's figure standing in the yard and said, "Brother Ruishi, because of our relationship, I have to persuade you about some things. The little brother is alive and well, extraordinary. You don't have to be too reluctant just to accommodate him..."

Xie Huaiyu: "...???"

Seeing Xie Huaiyu's bewildered face, Qi Qinyue gritted his teeth again and said, "I mean, although deer antler is nourishing, it should not be eaten too much. Others may not know that you and I were born in the capital and saw a lot of royal family and nobles. They are licentious and take supplements all day long, but they look like they have lost their bodies. You can't be like them..."

Only then did Xie Huaiyu understand what Qi Qinyue was referring to, he coughed a little speechlessly, and said lightly: "Brother Ziyun, don't worry too much, I can take it."

Qi Qinyue saw that he was so careless, she couldn't help sighing and said: "Brother Ruishi, I never thought that you really like this little brother Bai. With your talent and background, Coupled with a dignified appearance, there are a lot of great ladies in the capital to choose from, but why did you fall into his way?"

Bai Shu is just a country boy, and she doesn't look like a girl.It doesn't hurt to raise it for fun, but if you really want it, it's really too mismatched.

"Zifeiyu knows the joy of fish?" Xie Huaiyu said with a smile: "There are so many ladies in the capital, but I haven't seen anyone's woman you like. Before Qi Dutong asked you to go with your aunt's cousin When we meet, don't you just refuse directly, don't you even look at it?"

After being said by Xie Huaiyu, Qi Qinyue also froze, and scratched his head irritably: "I can't tell you, that brother is so fierce, I don't know why you like him?"

Seeing him like this, Xie Huaiyu frowned and said: "Bai Shu is tough on the outside and soft on the inside, gentle and kind, soft and cute. Brother Ziyun, you will know if you get in touch with him more in the future."

Qi Qinyue: "..."

He glanced at Bai Shu, who was panting deer outside, and rolled his eyes in his heart at Bai Shu, who was panting a group of sika deer.

The ancients said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and he really didn't deceive me. He didn't see how soft and cute little brother Bai is...

He still knew Rui Shi's temperament quite well, knowing that the other party had made up his mind, he would not change easily, so he didn't persuade him any more.

Instead, he changed the subject and said, "I'm here this time, and I want to remind you to be careful with your stepmother. She and your maid named Luluo have been communicating more and more frequently recently."

"Ziyun don't worry." Xie Huaiyu hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly: "Everything is under my control, so you don't have to worry."

"By the way, there is one more thing." Qi Qinyue said seriously: "I told Zhong Li about the matter you asked me to help you before, and everything has been arranged. Your good brother has been released a few days ago At first, it stopped for two days, but recently I couldn't bear it anymore, and started to contact a few cronies and drink flower wine all day long."

"However, in Huajie and Liuxiang, your father sent someone to say hello, so he didn't dare to go. Zhong Li found a secret place and sent someone to set up a banquet. Make sure he sees that beautiful woman..."

"It's just a pity..." Qi Qinyue sighed, glanced at Xie Huaiyu and said, "Such a beauty, you are not at all tempted. Just send it out as bait."

"Although poppies are beautiful, they are poisonous. I don't want to touch them at all." Xie Huaiyu raised the corners of her lips and said to Qi Qinyue teasingly: "But if you like it, you don't have to worry about me, just take it yourself. Go. After all, brother Ziyun, you treat me like this, you are just a beauty, even if it ruins my plan, it doesn't matter."

"Please forgive me!" Qi Qinyue repeatedly refused: "That old man of my family, you don't know how tightly he is in charge of me. Besides, I have an official position now. If someone finds out, read the book. Do you want to live in the days to come?"

·

In the capital city, Xie Qi and a few young masters followed her friend Hu Ziying into an ordinary house in the suburbs of Beijing.

The house has three entrances, the outer courtyard is bare, there is a well, and two jujube trees are planted, it looks no different from ordinary people's houses.

Xie Qi looked at the outer courtyard of the house, frowned in disgust and said, "Brother Ziying, what's so interesting about such a dilapidated place? Don't fool me."

"You eat flowers and wine all day, don't you get tired of it?" Hu Ziying said with a smile: "Every place in the capital where there is wine and food is probably played by your young master Qi, so I will take you today. Come to this new place, save you have never seen it before."

Some of the other sons and brothers also came here, and one of them also flattered and said: "Little uncle, the scenery inside and outside here is completely different, but the scenery inside is quite different."

Xie Qi has not become a nobleman now, but these dandies who have been friends with him see that he is powerful, and many of them have already started calling him little uncle.

Although the name is not worthy of the name, Xie Qi accepted it safely.Anyway, in his eyes, he is the Earl who is certain in the future.

His eldest brother was just the son of a merchant girl, and his mother had taken him to the countryside, so he couldn't make any trouble.

When he walked into the first courtyard, he was amazed by the scene in front of him. The buildings inside the courtyard were completely different from the outside.

There is a huge pond in the yard, which is full of lotus flowers, red, white and white, and the yard is full of fragrance.

There is also a small red bridge over the pond. Across the small bridge is a house. The outside of the house is a circle of corridors, built along the water, and there are scenery everywhere.

Inside the house, there are carved beams and painted buildings, and the roof is covered with large and small lanterns.

Moreover, there are many desks in the room, and there are also some beautiful women or brothers who are kneeling and sitting in the banquet, and when they see someone coming, they get up to greet them.His demeanor is not frivolous at all, but extremely elegant.

"So it's still a brothel... Hahaha, Hu Ziying, you were so mysterious before, I thought it was somewhere." Xie Qi couldn't help laughing.

"Young Master Qi's words are wrong." Hu Ziying shook his folding fan and said, "This courtyard is called Xiankeju, and the women and brothers here are all fairies from heaven and earth. It's too vulgar if it's a brothel."

After what Hu Ziying said, Xie Qi took a closer look, only to find that the women and brothers who received the guests were really wearing green gauze skirts, and the color was as elegant as a fairy in the sky.The appearance is also more delicate and beautiful than the women in the brothel outside.

After a group of people sat down, those women and buddies came forward one after another, poured wine and chatted with them.Different from ordinary brothels, these women or buddies are not only well-informed, but also recite poems and compose Fu, are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and each is quite talented.

A round of food and wine was served, and the beautiful scenery outside the house matched the beauty inside, which made the group of young masters feel that this Xiankeju really lived up to its reputation, and that this place is really like a fairyland on earth, making people linger and forget to return.

The wine in Xiankeju was very intoxicating, after a few cups of yellow soup, Xie Qi became slightly smoky.

At this time, a few boys in white clothes entered the room.The lotus screen in the house was removed to reveal the scenery behind.

It was only then that everyone discovered that behind the screen was an open-air platform, and behind the platform was a stretch of lotus leaves, lush green bamboos, which was too beautiful to behold.

But the more beautiful one is a person on the open-air platform.

This person was dressed in white, with slightly exposed skin, a slender and beautiful figure, and well-proportioned flesh and bones.

He was wearing a veil, which covered half of his face, only showing above the eyes, a pair of peach blossom eyes full of affection, just looking down, complaining like weeping, which made people feel distressed.

And a blood-red cinnabar mole on his forehead revealed his brother's identity.

However, this identity formed a contrast with his appearance, which actually made him look a little more coquettish.

At this time, there was a breeze blowing outside, and the brother raised his hand to play the piano.

The sound of the piano was continuous and melodious, which made people intoxicated, and made him a little more immortal.

Xie Qi watched from below, but she didn't feel a little crazy.

He has seen many beauties, but this is the first time he has seen such a brother.

He raised his wine glass and drank it all down, good wine matched with a beautiful woman, Xie Qi couldn't help feeling that this guy looked more beautiful than a woman, and seemed to have a bit more flavor than a woman.

Hu Ziying glanced at him faintly from the side, and winked at the woman next to him.

The woman turned and left, walked through the winding corridors, and knocked on the door of a hut deep in the yard.

After a while, the door of the house opened, and the woman went in and said to a handsome man, "Master, the fish has already bit the hook."

The man nodded and said: "Very good, everything can be done according to the plan. Let the fish bite the hook more firmly. Brother, remember to hit it again, and there will be no mistakes."

·

After Bai Shu had breakfast at Xie Huaiyu's house, she packed up and prepared to go back.

Wolf fur can be made into wolf fur boots or waistcoats, which can keep out the cold in winter, and can be sold for a few taels of silver.

But Atractylodes atractylodes doesn't know how to peel the skin, and messing with it by oneself will damage the skin instead, so I had to take it all away and go to the cobbler to nitrate it.

The bear was to be left for Xie Huaiyu, but no one in the Xie family knew how to cook it, so they had to take it out and cook it before sending it back.

Bai Shu first asked Lao Feng to take him to the county town, where there was a cobbler.

A wolf's skin costs fifteen yuan for processing, and a bear costs thirty yuan.It would take time to process the wolf and bear skins, so Bai Zhu paid a deposit first.

After finishing these, Bai Shu went to Laifulou again.

Last time he told shopkeeper Yan the recipe of fish balls, shopkeeper Yan kept asking him to go back in a few days.

Seeing Bai Shu approaching, Shopkeeper Yan hurriedly came out from the counter, holding a thousand taels of silver bills in his hand.

Not long after Bai Shu left last time, he went to Xie's house and reported the matter to Xie Huaiyu.

Xie Huaiyu heard this, and only said that this recipe was excellent, and asked him to write letters to other branches in Fucheng, Jingcheng and Laifulou, asking each of them to add this dish.

In addition, he also gave shopkeeper Yan a thousand taels of silver notes, asking him to hand them over to Bai Shu as a reward for the dishes.

Shopkeeper Yan gave the silver ticket to Bai Shu, saying that the dish was appreciated by the owner and rewarded him.

Bai Shu gladly accepted it, thanked shopkeeper Yan, and went back to the leather shop.

The cobbler had already skinned the fur and asked Bai Zhu to bring back the wolf and bear meat.

Bear bile is a high-quality traditional Chinese medicine, and it is extremely rare. Baizhu took the bear bile to dry, and then handed it to Xie Huaiyu after drying.

And there was too much bear meat, and the Xie family couldn't eat it.The cooks left only four bear paws, and Bai Shu took the rest.

Bai Shu returned with a pile of wolf and bear meat, and handed the meat directly to Brother Liu.

Because there is too much meat and the weather is hot, Atractylodes macrocephala is afraid that it will spoil if it cannot be eaten.

So he asked Brother Liu to divide the meat into pieces, but all the villagers who worked for him could take one piece back home.

Work for Atractylodes and meat!Most of the villagers in Baitang Village were very happy.

All of a sudden, meat was stewed in almost every household, and the smell of meat wafted from the kitchen.

But there are also some families who are gloomy and can only smell the meat of other people's houses with envy.

For example, in Zhao Er's house, he was the only one who served a plate of pickles.

After Chen Dongqing reconciled with him, he lost his income from selling medicines, and he had no one to wash and cook for him.

Zhao Er had to get up early in the morning to chop firewood and carry water, and then he had to go to the fields to plow the land.

When he came home after a busy day, facing the cold pot and stove at home, he didn't have the energy to cook.

It is often just to fool around a bit, cook some gruel, and serve with pickles.Now that I think about it, I have eaten pickles for half a month.

At this time, Zhao Er looked down at the greasy clothes he hadn't washed for half a month, and then remembered Chen Dongqing's good news.

When Chen Dongqing was still at home, why did he need to wash and cook every day?

Every day when he came home, Chen Dongqing had prepared hot meals and hot dishes. Although they were not rich, they still managed the house well.

What's more, at that time, he still had income from selling herbal medicines, and his family's life was not bad. He was really deceived by lard, so he beat Chen Dongqing away.

The more Zhao Er thought about it, the more he regretted it. It's not that he never thought about marrying another daughter-in-law before.

But he had no money at all, and now the reputation of beating people has spread in the village, not to mention those women who are not worried about marrying, even the brothers who are not married are not willing to talk to him.

Zhao Er went to a matchmaker several times and said that he was willing to offer a bride price of [-] Wen to marry a daughter-in-law.

But the matchmaker also bluntly told him that in the nearby villages, even if he was willing to pay, no one would marry him.

Could it be that he was really going to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?When Zhao Er thought of this, he thought of Chen Dongqing again.

Now that Chen Dongqing is alone with a baby, life may be even more difficult.If he goes to show his favor again, will the other party change his mind?

Zhao Er thought about it, then went out and walked in the direction of Huang's house.

He had inquired a long time ago that Chen Dongqing rented the vacant room of Huang's house and lived in his yard.

Still some distance away from Huang's house, Zhao Er could smell the strong smell of meat in the air.

He quietly walked into the courtyard of Huang's house and looked at the house where Chen Dongqing lived.Taking advantage of no one, he hid behind the house.

Zhao Er sneaked in through the back window and looked inside the house.

The room inside is not big, there is only a bed and a few cabinets, but it is very tidy.

Zhao Er saw two bowls of white rice and two stir-fried vegetables on the table.The white rice is all made of high-quality round-grained rice with distinct grains.And those two dishes have vegetables and meat, full of oil and aroma.

Thinking of the porridge with pickled vegetables that he ate just now, Zhao Er swallowed his saliva.

After a while, the front door was pushed open, and Zhao Er saw Chen Dongqing walking in with Li Er, both of them were wearing brand new clothes, and their faces had grown a lot of flesh, they looked much more energetic than when they left him up.

Chen Dongqing sat at the table, put chopsticks on the chopsticks for Li'er and said: "Li'er, Dad is still busy in the afternoon. Just eat something at noon, and you can go to Big Brother Bai's place to play with the children in the afternoon."

"Yes, Dad." Li'er nodded obediently and smiled sweetly.

With a smile on his face all the time, he began to tell Chen Dongqing the interesting stories about playing with other children in the morning.After a meal, the two of them were talking and laughing, very happy.

Zhao Er rubbed his eyes outside the house, and almost didn't recognize the two people in front of him.

He originally thought that Chen Dongqing would be alone with his child if he left him, and he regretted it very much.But it never occurred to her that the other party still had money to buy new clothes and eat meat every meal?

If he had known that Chen Dongqing could earn so much money, he would never have reconciled with him!Zhao Er was extremely remorseful, even without the income from the three acres of land, he could live a good life with the money Chen Dongqing earned.

When Zhao Er thought of this, he wanted to get back together with Chen Dongqing immediately.

But he just walked a few steps...

"Who?" Several young men shouted from the side.

It turned out that the Huang family had also come back. They happened to pass by the yard and saw the sneaky Zhao Er.

"Okay! What are you doing here? Do you still want to hit someone?" Several young men rushed forward and pushed Zhao Er to the ground.

Surprised, Chen Dongqing also came out of the room, and was also surprised to see Zhao Er who was kneeling on the ground.

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, it's me. I'm here to see you." Zhao Er said hastily.

"I have nothing to do with you, so I don't need you to look at it." Chen Dongqing said coldly.

Seeing that Chen Dongqing was serious about him, Zhao Er looked at Li'er at the side again: "Li'er, I'm daddy, daddy misses you, come home with your daddy."

After hearing this, Li'er flinched and ran behind Chen Dongqing, only showing his head, looked at Zhao Er who was on the ground and said, "Father, I'm afraid. I don't want to go back."

Chen Dongqing touched Li'er's head, picked him up and said, "Don't worry, Father will never go back, let's go in."

Some of the men from the Huang family said to Chen Dongqing: "Brother Chen, you hurry up and take the child in, don't worry, we will teach him a lesson and keep him safe so that he won't dare to harass you again."

Another person said to Zhao Er: "Don't even look at yourself, how can you be worthy of Brother Chen? Now in our village, people who want to be nice to Brother Chen are waiting in line. He was really a flower before." stuck in cow dung."

They dragged Zhao Er out by the collar and dragged him to nowhere.

Chen Dongqing didn't care about the rest of the matter anymore, she just took Li'er back to the room and closed the door.

It's a bit funny to say, since he reconciled, his appearance is still the same, and he hasn't become superhuman.But because the days are getting better and better, there are some unmarried men in Baitang Village who are not in good condition to pursue him, and several of them come here.

This world is really as Bai Shu said, only when one is strong can one have a choice.

It's just that Chen Dongqing now feels that he is doing well alone, and for Li'er's sake, he has no intention of finding another man who is greedy for his own money.

He squeezed Li'er's small face and said: "Li'er, you should remember that from now on, you have to be a capable brother like your big brother Bai, so that you can live a good life, do you hear me?"

Seeing that Li'er nodded half-understanding, Chen Dongqing thought for a moment and said, "After a while, I'll send you to study in the village! Your brother Bai told me before that what your brother Bai said is always That's right!"

Li'er jumped up happily, hugged Chen Dongqing's neck and said, "I'm going to school, thank you daddy, daddy is so kind!"

·

After finishing the wolf meat, Bai Shu went back to Xie's house and brought out all his deer.

No matter how big the Xie family is, there is no way to keep so many deer in the yard. Bai Zhu wants to take them all to the back mountain.

Bai Shu led a large herd of deer on the village road, which immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.

The children, in particular, were extremely excited, wandering around the deer herd all the way, and many of them kept coming up to touch them.

Some gossiping villagers asked, "Brother Bai, where did you buy such a large herd of deer?"

"I didn't buy it, I caught it." Bai Shu said calmly.

The villagers were even more amazed, thinking that Bai Shu had three heads and six arms, and could even catch so many deer.

When he arrived at the back mountain, Bai Zhu found a place with lush grass and tied the rope.

These deer are still wild and difficult to tame. They need to be tied up for a period of time, and then released after they are domesticated.

In addition, a fence needs to be built around the back mountain to prevent these deer from running out or other animals entering by mistake.

There are a lot of weeds in the back mountain, but let the deer eat by themselves, sooner or later the ground will be gnawed bare.

Bai Zhu decided to prepare some feed for the deer, which would be easier to domesticate and make the deer grow better.

It was summer at this time, and the village had just harvested a season of rice, and the rice leaves were cut one by one.

Bai Shu then asked the onlookers if they had any rice leaves that had been cut in their homes. He collected rice leaves for a penny a bundle and bought them for a long time.

When the villagers heard this, someone hurried home and bundled the rice leaves.What's more, the industrious one burned the rice leaves a long time ago. At this time, he said to Bai Shu with a heartbroken heart: "Brother Bai, I don't have any rice leaves, but I can gather grass for you. It's still a penny a bundle, and you still have to buy it." Either?"

Atractylodes is naturally also needed.

The antlers fall off automatically in the first month of each year, and then grow back in the spring.The small antlers that haven't grown hard are deer antlers.

Deer antler can be harvested twice a year, the first time is in May and June, and it will grow old if it is delayed.

When Bai Shu caught these deer, it was just after early summer.Most male deer antlers have just reached their peak and are on the verge of horning.

Some of these bucks have hardened antlers, but some still have antlers.

Bai Shu didn't dare to delay, so he took a machete and cut them all on the same day. However, due to the limited number of deer, only seven pairs of antlers and three pairs of antlers were collected in total.

Even so, it would be a huge sum of money to sell it in the county, not to mention that Baishu wanted to sell it directly to Fucheng.The price there is even higher, even if a pair of velvet antlers is sold for an extra ten taels of silver, it can be worth tens of taels more.

Just as he was thinking, the Xie family's carriage came again.

At this time, it is You time, and it is time to eat.Bai Shu reckoned that it was Xie Huaiyu who took him to dinner.

As soon as Lao Feng saw Bai Zhu, he handed him a piece of paper.

Bai Shu asked with some doubts: "What is this?"

"I don't know." Old Feng shook his head and said, "The young master asked me to give it to you, and I can't read."

When Bai Shu opened it, her heart trembled and she blushed immediately.

Xie Huaiyu wrote a few large characters in cursive lines—he will be punished soon.
