Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Fang Xu's words rang in his ears, and the faces of the villagers changed again and again. Although they were still unwilling, no one opened their mouths to curse anymore.

Seeing that they took the bait, Fang Xu smiled in his eyes and softened his tone, "Let me tell you the truth, the imperial court has ordered that even if we people continue to fight, it is just an egg against a stone. How can this arm be stronger than the thigh?"

"The folks are all farmers, honest and honest, and have no bad intentions. We are willing to make an exception for everyone." Fang Xu took the banknote from Shen Ji with a kind smile, "If everyone cooperates, we can help Hand over the contract and pay the money.”

"I hope the folks don't persist in their stubbornness. When the time comes, it won't be good if the superiors force us to do so and we will lose all our wealth."

After hearing this, a few people in the crowd were inevitably shaken, and they went back home obediently to get the land deed.

The remaining villagers stood there, not knowing what to do, especially those who had scorned Shen Ji, and they had no choice now.

Seeing this, Fang Xu patted Shen Ji on the shoulder, a dark light flashed in his eyes, "Everyone, don't worry, the person standing in front of you right now is Minister Shen of the Ministry of Revenue. With him here, the villagers will not suffer. !”

Hearing that Shen Ji was the minister, gasps could be heard from all around, and those who cursed at him became even more pale-faced.

Shen Ji blinked, his long eyelashes fell, and his voice was low, "Madam, when did I become the Minister of Household Affairs?"

Fang Xu pushed him gently and whispered, "What do you know? When you go out, you give your identity to yourself! Are you still afraid that these villagers will investigate you?"

Shen Ji stared at her, his eyes filled with starlight, and hummed softly.

Fang Xu curled his lips and said in a loud voice, "The imperial court wants to break ground here, and there is a lack of manpower. The villagers can stay and work on their own initiative. In January..."

Fang Xu stretched out three fingers and said, "Three coins of silver."

"Three denarii? That's a lot!"

"Tian Bodhisattva...three dollars is enough to feed my family for several months!"

"With the money from selling the land, why worry about not being able to buy a house elsewhere? When the time comes to come back and work, won't it be more stable than growing crops?"

"That's right! With this salary, my eldest child can study!"

The villagers' expressions suddenly turned from cloudy to clear, and they quickly asked Fang Xu if it was true.

Seeing Fang Xu nod, they immediately went back to their respective houses and got the land deeds.

After completing the formalities for the last person, Fang Xu weighed the pile of land deeds in his hand, raised the corners of his mouth, and raised his eyebrows at Shen Ji opposite, "How is it?"

Shen Ji shook his head and laughed, and said warmly, "My wife is still more skilled."

Fang Xu stuffed the land deed tied in his hand into Shen Ji's arms and said with a smile, "This thing is yours."

Shen Ji paused slightly, his eyes full of surprise, "Mine?"

"Otherwise?" Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you here for business?"

Shen Ji frowned, "But Madam got these land deeds."

Fang Xu chuckled, with a soft smile, "I used your banknotes."

"Besides, you are only one step away from the last round of the national college entrance examination. If you weren't extremely talented, how could anyone send you to do this?" Fang Xu chuckled, "It's only a matter of time before you become an official in the court, so I can give you a chance in advance! "

Fang Xu patted him on the shoulder and said in a relaxed tone, "You need it more than me."

Shen Ji looked at her, his hand holding the land deed slowly tightened, his eyes flashed with a light that Fang Xu couldn't understand, "Thank you... madam."

"Madam, you are kind to me in this matter. If Madam has any request in the future, I will accept my request."

Fang Xu glanced at him with a dazzling smile, "You and I are old acquaintances, why do you call me madam so politely?"

Shen Ji paused, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise.

"Just call me Miss Xu."

Before his smile could bloom, Fang Xu's words fell into his ears, and the smile froze on his face.

"Xiao Xu...sister?"

<divclass="contentadv"> "Yes." Fang Xu pursed his lips and chuckled, "I am three years older than you, so I should be your sister."

Shen Ji felt a roar in his ears, then lowered his head and stopped answering.

"Okay, you can go back as soon as you're done." Fang Xu lifted up her skirt and said softly, "I'm going back home first."

Seeing that Fang Xu was about to leave, Shen Ji moved his lips and said, "Madam!"

Fang Xu paused, turned around suspiciously, and looked at him quietly.

Shen Ji smiled bitterly and said in a deep voice, "I came here on foot. I wonder if Madam can give me a ride?"

When Fang Xu heard this, he said righteously, "Of course, come with me."

Shen Ji nodded and chuckled, "Thank you so much, madam."

"You're welcome." Fang Xurou smiled, "If you have nothing to do later, I'll treat you to lunch!"

Shen Ji said with a smile on his face, "It's a blessing for Shen to be invited by Madam."

The boy on one side tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered, "Sir, our carriage..."

Shen Ji waved him away ruthlessly and said in a deep voice, "You go alone, don't be discovered, and don't hold me back."

The boy stood there, watching his husband walk away with a bitter look on his face.

Fulin Restaurant

Fang Xu took a sip of warm tea and said with a smile, "You're welcome, just eat it."

Shen Ji nodded with a smile, stretched out his bamboo chopsticks to the dish closest to him, slowly picked it up and put it into his mouth, his movements were full of elegance.

There were only two of them in the room, Su Zi and Bai Ji were in another room, and Fang Xu opened a table for them.

Fang Xu raised his bare hand, poured a cup of tea for Shen Ji, and said as if unintentionally, "I heard you say business matters before, but I wonder who you are working for?"

Shen Ji paused and froze on the spot.

Fang Xu blinked and said softly, "Can't you say it?"

Shen Ji raised his eyes to look at her, shook his head, and then said quietly, "When you are with your wife, there is nothing that cannot be said."

Shen Ji raised the tea cup, took a sip, and lowered his voice, "I was ordered by the fourth prince."

"Fourth Prince..." Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, "It seems that Yuan Chen's ambitions are not small."

"Where's Madam?" Shen Ji put down the teacup and said in a low voice, "For whom did you go to Mazhaizi Village?"

Fang Xu leaned back slightly, not wanting to hide anything, and smiled softly, "Princess."

Hearing these three words, a trace of shock appeared on Shen Ji's face, and he lowered his voice and repeated, "Eldest...eldest princess?"

"That's right." Fang Xu held his chin and smiled brightly, "She wanted to get me to join her gang, but I didn't want to, so she shot me with cold arrows, kidnapped my children, and threw rats into my yard. I was scared, so I did things for her. ”

The more Shen Ji listened, the more he frowned, "When such a big thing happened, why have I never heard from Xie Li?"

"There's nothing to say." Fang Xu raised the corners of his lips with an easy-going look on his face, "I don't take this matter to heart."

Hearing this, Shen Ji seemed to have thought of something and smiled knowingly, "Madam, I'm afraid... you have a solution already, right?"

Fang Xu looked at him quite unexpectedly, and then laughed out loud, "You are really good at predicting things."

"No." Shen Ji picked up a piece of green vegetables and said solemnly, "I just feel that according to Madam's temperament, I will never let myself suffer."

"The execution will be tomorrow, and you still can't think of a way. Do you really want to watch the prince die!"

A man's suppressed curses came from the private room next door. Fang Xu's eyebrows jumped and he raised his head suddenly to meet Shen Ji's equally surprised eyes.
