protect my lady

With the confirmation of the officers and soldiers of Jiaxing Prefecture, Fu Feiyu's identity as a good man plus a martial arts master has been officially certified.With such prerequisites, the magistrate didn't care how the old woman played tricks, and directly sentenced the mother and son to confiscation and extortion, and put them in prison for three years as an example.

As for Fu Feiyu and the others, they were naturally invited by the magistrate to drink tea politely and sit down to discuss the matter of the traffickers' accomplices.

After hearing that Fu Feiyu caught two wanted criminals with their lives on their backs without any effort, the prefect of Hangzhou was amazed and wanted to keep Fu Feiyu to stay in Hangzhou for a few days to exchange ideas with the fast catchers in the yamen. For a while, it is best to teach martial arts.

"I'm afraid I have to politely decline your lord's kindness. I will leave for Suzhou tomorrow." Fu Feiyu refused with a smile.

The prefect of Hangzhou didn't have much hope at first, and after being rejected, he just said with some regret, "That's really unfortunate, I wanted to ask Mr. Fu for a little favor."

The discussion and exchange was a waste of time, but Fu Feiyu didn't take off the magistrate's face, and agreed to arrest the traffickers together with the yamen servant.

"Be careful." Mu Qingchen reminded, although she knew some moves, she was still too dangerous for a fugitive with a life in her hands, it is better to stay in the inn and wait instead of just messing around with the past.

"Don't worry, Qingchen, it's just three or four fugitives, it's not a problem." Fu Feiyu was very confident, and took the initiative to hold Mu Qingchen's hand, interlocking his fingers for the first time.

The temperature of the palms of the two people was transmitted to each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became different.

"Can you feel the warmth of my palm? Before it disappears, I will come back." Fu Feiyu lowered her head and leaned over to Mu Qingchen's ear.

Mu Qingchen's heart beat faster, "Liar, once you let go, wouldn't the temperature disappear?"

Fu Feiyu chuckled, "I won't lie to you, wait for me to come back."

After finishing speaking, Fu Feiyu slowly let go of her hand, squeezed Mu Qingchen's earlobe restrainedly, and then turned and left with the yamen servants.

Mu Qingchen stayed where he was and stared blankly at his palm, and when he realized it and raised his head, he happened to see Fu Feiyu's back disappearing at the gate.

The temperature in the palm of your hand?

Mu Qingchen pressed her palm to her face, and really felt a continuous stream of warmth surging in her palm, warming her entire heart.

Fu Feiyu's words were not aimless. When the two of them interlocked their fingers, she quietly condensed a wave of internal force in Mu Qingchen's palm. According to the strength of the internal force, it was enough to keep the residual temperature for three hours.

Now that the promise has been made, Fu Feiyu will work hard to fulfill it.

After arriving at the courtyard where the traffickers were, Fu Feiyu took the lead, drew out his sword and rushed in.

When he saw Fu Feiyu appearing from the sky, the trafficker was confused. Who is this?what happened?

When they reacted and wanted to draw their swords, Fu Feiyu's sword tip was already in front of them.

"Ow—"

"what--"

"Puff-"

By the time the yamen servant broke in, the three traffickers had already fallen to the ground neatly, the tendons in their hands were pulled out, and they completely lost the ability to resist.

Stunned dog.

This scene shocked the yamen servants who were dissatisfied with Fu Feiyu in their hearts. Fortunately, they thought that this man was sent by the prefect to make soy sauce, but they did not expect that they were the ones who really made soy sauce.

The arrest operation was completely over before it even started.

"Everyone, I will leave the rest of the resettlement work to you." Fu Feiyu clasped his fists, faced the surprised eyes of the servants, and disappeared in a single leap. The snow-white cloak was not stained with a trace of dirt.

After leaving the trafficker's courtyard, Fu Feiyu landed on the horse safely, and immediately galloped towards the inn.

After the horse reached the bustling street, Fu Feiyu slowed down, holding the rein while looking at the surrounding shops as she walked forward, and soon her eyes were attracted by a jewelry shop full of people.

"Look, take a look, this is the treasure I got out of the sea with the caravan. It's very beautiful." The shopkeeper of the jewelry store yelled loudly, looking at the crowd at the entrance of the store, he was very satisfied with the impact he had caused.

"Shopkeeper, what are you?" A person onlookers asked curiously.

"This is called a pocket watch, and it's used to tell the time." The shopkeeper said in an exaggerated tone, "It's just like the Baiyou Sun and Moon Dial, it's extremely precious, it's what I was at the pier by the sea and those people with yellow hair It cost me a lot of money to buy it."

"How much does this cost?" Fu Feiyu had never seen a so-called pocket watch before, and was also attracted by this novelty.

"This watch is made of gold on the outside and precious stones on the inside. It stands to reason that I wouldn't buy it without a few hundred taels of silver." The shopkeeper said with a heartache on his face. 99 two shots, it's considered auspicious."

Fu Feiyu raised his eyebrows, "Can the shopkeeper let me take a closer look?"

"Young master, be careful." Probably seeing that Fu Feiyu is a rich and noble son, the shopkeeper handed the pocket watch to her very neatly.

Fu Feiyu picked up the so-called pocket watch, squinted slightly and looked at the round object in his hand, "How do you tell the time?"

"My lord, do you see the numbers on the side of the circle? One grid is an hour, and it turns twice a day." The shopkeeper obviously did his homework, and he said clearly, "Look, it happens to be Shenzheng now, and the corresponding is here , those yellow-haired people call it four o'clock."

After explaining how to tell the time, Fu Feiyu became more interested, "How many pocket watches like this do you have here?"

"This young master came at the right time. I bought four of them, and I haven't sold any of them yet." The shopkeeper of the jewelry shop said with a smile, his eyes full of joy.

He had never bought such a thing as a pocket watch, and after weighing the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth and bought four of them. At first, he thought there would be no profit, but he didn't expect to meet someone who was interested in it in the blink of an eye.

"I want all four of them." Fu Feiyu didn't say anything, since she has money anyway, so she just wants to buy it.

"Okay." The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles, and he quickly took out the good wooden box, showed Fu Feiyu the pocket watches one by one, and carefully packed them up.

"Young master, the total is 390 taels of silver. Let's ask for auspiciousness, and only charge you 380 taels of silver." The shopkeeper said flatteringly, and took the initiative to lower the [-] taels of silver.

After all, when he bought it for four yuan, it cost more than 200 taels of silver, so it's a bloody profit.

"Okay." Fu Feiyu nodded, and took out four 100 taels of silver bills from his pocket to the shopkeeper.

After putting the small wooden box containing the four pocket watches into the bag and packing them up, Fu Feiyu tied them to the horse.

"My lord, this is 12 taels of silver." After verifying the authenticity of the bank note, the shopkeeper quickly changed the money.

Fu Feiyu stuffed the banknotes and pieces of silver into his bosom, got on the horse directly, grabbed the rein as if he was about to leave.

"Shopkeeper, I've brought money, and I want to buy a pocket watch!" A woman in a waist-length skirt with a cross-collared skirt ran over, even fluttering her red cloak.

"Miss Lin, you are late, the pocket watches have been sold just now." The shopkeeper said apologetically.

"Not one?" The woman said with a bitter face.

The shopkeeper nodded and apologized.

"Okay, then next time you have something in stock, save one for me." The woman didn't force it, and quickly adjusted her mentality.

Fu Feiyu glanced over there, his gaze stayed on the face of the girl in the red cloak for a moment, and then he drove away without looking back.

When Fu Feiyu arrived at the inn, it was only over an hour before she left.

After handing over the horse to the second brother, Fu Feiyu stomped upstairs with a bag of things.

Mu Qingchen in the house was sitting by the window looking around early in the morning. When he saw Fu Feiyu came back, he quickly closed the window, holding a book in his hand and pretending to be very serious.

"Knock knock" soon, there was a knock on the door, "Qingchen, I'm back."

"Come in."

Fu Feiyu pushed open the door, and put the baggage she brought on the table, "Qingchen, this is a gadget I bought on the way, take a look."

Speaking of which, Fu Feiyu opened the small wooden box and took out the pocket watch from inside.

"What is this?" Mu Qingchen put down the book in her hand, and looked at the things in her hand curiously.

"This can tell the time, it's called a pocket watch." Fu Feiyu said, re-describing what the shopkeeper said in a learned and stylish way.

Mu Qingchen listened, nodding from time to time, "I never thought there would be such an object, it will be much more convenient to check the time in the future."

"As long as Qingchen finds it useful." Fu Feiyu said with a smile, "Is the temperature in your palm still there?"

Mu Qingchen stretched out his right hand, raised his eyebrows, "What do you think?"

Fu Feiyu squeezed Mu Qingchen's palm lightly, and Yu Wen quickly passed it through his fingertips, and said with a smile: "I told you, I won't lie to you."

Mu Qingchen asked: "How did you do it?"

"You want to know?" Fu Feiyu raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

Mu Qingchen nodded, "Yes."

"You are watching." Fu Feiyu stretched out and clasped Mu Qingchen's fingers again, "Do you feel it?"

Mu Qingchen blinked, what did he feel?

Fu Feiyu covered Mu Qingchen's eyes with his other hand, "Close your eyes and feel carefully."

Mu Qingchen closed her eyes obediently, and at the same time she lost her vision, she instantly became aware of the touch on her hands. Slowly, she became aware of the temperature in her palms.

Fu Feiyu explained: "I have reserved some internal force in Qingchen's palm of your hand. As long as the internal force does not disappear, the temperature of the palm will not disappear."

Mu Qingchen clenched her hands, opened her eyes, "Can I do it?"

Fu Feiyu shook his head, "Qingchen, your internal strength is not enough, you need to practice for a few years."

"It's not urgent, one day I will leave warmth on your body." Mu Qingchen said with a smile.

And it's still the kind that can't be removed.

body?Fu Feiyu grasped the key point in Mu Qingchen's mouth at once, but she didn't think much about it because her thinking was relatively simple, she just regarded the body as a reference.

After receiving the thank you from the prefect of Hangzhou, Fu Feiyu and Mu Qingchen set off on their return journey.

The carriage drove smoothly on the road, and the occasional mountain roads were also eliminated by the good shock absorption.But staying in the carriage all the time is really boring. If it wasn't for the occasional appreciation of Mu Qingchen's sleeping face, Fu Feiyu would have gone out for a ride.

Fu Feiyu rested his chin with his hand, looked at Mu Qingchen who was sleeping on the soft cushion, his eyes were about to shine.

The carriage drove from the flat road to the mountain road, and the carriage began to shake slightly on the small pebbles on the road, and the sleeping Mu Qingchen inevitably shook his body.

After bumping for a long time, Mu Qingchen frowned slightly, as if he felt uncomfortable in his body.

Fu Feiyu opened the window and looked out. There was a long mountain road in front of him. According to the current speed, it would take more than half an hour for the carriage to drive out.

No need to think too much, Fu Feiyu quickly narrowed the distance between the two of them, put one hand gently on the back of Mu Qingchen's head, and hugged her with the other hand, accompanied by a short movement of the carriage. The bumps slowly made Mu Qingchen lean towards her until she leaned against her arms.

Leaning on the soft body is naturally more comfortable than leaning on the cushions and hard wooden boards on the carriage. As the faint sweet fragrance poured into the tip of the nose, Mu Qingchen's slightly frowned brows slowly relaxed.

Mu Qingchen slept comfortably, but Fu Feiyu didn't dare to relax at all, he kept adjusting his posture slowly, and after finding a suitable position, he kept still.

It seems that she is a human-shaped cushion.

But Fu Feiyu enjoyed it, while keeping his body still, Fu Feiyu stretched out his hand, and slowly traced the outline of Mu Qingchen's face in the air, and after each stroke, he would secretly smile.

It looks silly.

The jolting for more than half an hour didn't seem to affect Mu Qingchen's sleep at all, but Fu Feiyu, who was jolted, felt a little drowsy.

After passing the mountain road, the carriage drove to the county town, and the small chatter reached Fu Feiyu's ears again, buzzing and amplifying the drowsiness in her head.

Just when Fu Feiyu felt that her eyelids were a little heavy, the person in her arms suddenly moved, instantly dispelling the drowsiness in her head.

Is Qingchen awake?

Fu Feiyu lowered his head, thought for a while, and then brushed away the strands of Mu Qingchen's loose hair with his hands, and saw her eyes that were still closed.

Not yet awake, Fu Feiyu breathed a sigh of relief, pinned her hair behind Mu Qingchen's ear, and carefully touched Mu Qingchen's face with her fingertips.

Smooth, tender, comfortable, and feel good.

Fu Feiyu reluctantly withdrew his hand, and after lingering on the residual feeling for a while, he stretched out his hand secretly again, and this time he touched it twice before retracting it.

One has two, a few simple touches seem to have turned on a certain light on Fu Feiyu's body, causing a lot of messy things to squeeze into her mind at once.

After a while, her hands became restless again, wanting to touch Mu Qingchen's face for the third time.

"Hmm~" Just as Fu Feiyu stretched out his hand, Mu Qingchen moved again, and Fu Feiyu quickly withdrew his hand, looking down as if nothing had happened.

"Now, where are you?" Mu Qingchen rubbed his eyes, and lazily left Fu Feiyu's arms.

"I've already arrived in Suzhou. If there are no accidents, I can arrive at night." Fu Feiyu put his hands behind his back with some guilt, and said with a serious look.

Mu Qingchen nodded slightly, and smoothed out the broken hair around his ears with his hands, trying to cover up the reddish ears.

Really, it was said that the matter was only three years old, why did she keep touching it, and the movements were so light, she almost couldn't help it just now.

The carriage fell silent for a while, and the two people who were thinking about each other didn't know what to say, so they just kept silent tacitly, and each picked up a book to read.

After about a quarter of an hour, Fu Feiyu quietly moved away from the book, looked at Mu Qingchen from the corner of his eye, and happened to bump into Mu Qingchen's eyes.

The four eyes met, apart from a trace of embarrassment, it was more tacit understanding.

"Qingchen, after spending your birthday with you, I'm going back to the capital." Fu Feiyu broke the silence first.

Mu Qingchen pinched the corner of his clothes, "Then, will you come back next year?"

"Of course, next year I will bring a dowry to propose marriage." Fu Feiyu straightened her back as she said, she still has some treasures in Yashan.Although not much, but enough red makeup ten miles.

Mu Qingchen smiled, "Well, I'll wait for you."

As soon as the conversation started, the atmosphere in the carriage became lively, and Fu Yi and Cui Zhu could hear laughter from inside from time to time outside.

Stepping on the tail of the setting sun, Mu Qingchen's carriage successfully arrived at the Mu Mansion.

When Mu Qingchen got off the carriage, Mu Zixuan hurried over.

"Sister, is the trip safe and sound? Did you encounter anything?"

"Everything is fine, with Fei Yu here, everything is fine." Mu Qingchen said with a smile.

Master Mu came over, and patted Mu Qingchen's shoulder with satisfaction, "Good job, the suggestions you made are very good."

"Fei Yu, thank you for your hard work on the road this time." Master Mu said.

"Uncle was joking, taking care of Qingchen is not hard work, it's what I should do." Fu Feiyu replied with a smile.

After standing at the door and exchanging greetings for a while, Master Mu brought the two of them in with a smile all over his face, and his words were full of praise for them.

When Mu Kangning, who was following behind, heard this, the smirk on his face inevitably stiffened a bit.

Damn it, why did you let her come back intact? Could it be that those shopkeepers are willing to be crushed by a woman in the future?

It is unreasonable!

The better Mu Qingchen's life is, the more uncomfortable Mu Kangning feels, but no matter how uncomfortable he is, he can't do anything. The contacts he manages carefully are only in the Suzhou area, and he doesn't have such a long hand to reach the Zhejiang area.

After staying in Mu's mansion for a few days, Mu Qingchen's birthday was ushered in. Because it was his 19th birthday, Master Mu didn't make a big deal, just celebrated it internally.

"Qingchen, I gave this to you." Fu Feiyu frankly took out the jade hairpin he carved, "Compared to wooden hairpins, I think jade hairpins are more suitable for Qingchen."

"Master Fu just gave you a jade hairpin?" Mu Qianqian looked at it, and said with a bit of yin and yang, "This gift is a bit small."

Fu Feiyu has learned to ignore Mu Qianqian's existence, and he doesn't even give her alms from the corner of his eye.

"Do you need me to change it for you?" Fu Feiyu's face softened, and his eyes were full of warmth when he looked at Mu Qingchen.

"Okay." Mu Qingchen nodded, leaning his head slightly towards Fu Feiyu.

Facing Mu Qianqian's eyes of jealousy or envy, Fu Feiyu took off the wooden hairpin that was originally on Mu Qingchen's head, and replaced it with his newly carved jade hairpin.

"It's beautiful." Fu Feiyu praised sincerely, if there were no other people here, she couldn't help but want to kiss Qingchen.

Mu Qianqian pouted dissatisfiedly, and when she saw Master Mu appearing in front of the door, she immediately restrained her expression and took out the things she had prepared earlier in the morning.

"Sister, I prepared this specially for you." Mu Qianqian smirked.

Mu Qingchen returned a standard smile, "Thank you, sister."

Seeing this scene of sisters being in harmony, Master Mu was very pleased, and smiled as he gave the gift he had prepared.

"Qingchen, these are the land deeds of several rice shops in Jiaxing, please keep them carefully."

Mu Qingchen was a little surprised, "Father, this is..."

"Since it's your birthday, I, as a father, will naturally give you something." Master Mu said with a smile.

Although Master Mu let Mu Qingchen go to inspect the industries in Zhejiang, he was also paying attention to this matter, and the shopkeepers wrote to report the situation as soon as Mu Qingchen left.

Master Mu was very satisfied with what Mu Qingchen proposed in Jiaxing Mipu, and those opinions on whether to open a branch were also early and pertinent.It can be said that even if he went to inspect the shop himself, there was only so much he could do.

Now that the successor he has identified is capable, Master Mu will not be stingy in handing over his property and rights.

"Father gave it to you, you just accept it." Madam Mu said, then turned around and took a small wooden box from the maid's hand, "This is some small jewelry that mother prepared for you, you can use it when you need it." superior."

"Thank you, father, thank you, mother." Mu Qingchen saluted obediently, and then took the wooden box from the two of them with a smile.

After the second elder delivered the things, Mu Kangning also stood up, "Sister, I gave this to you."

"Thank you, big brother." The smile on Mu Qingchen's face did not disappear, after all, in front of their parents, they are still siblings who have a harmonious relationship.

Mu Zixuan also gave him a gift, a painting he was most satisfied with, and said mysteriously, "Sister, remember to open this after you go back to your room."

Mu Qingchen raised her eyebrows, telling her intuitively that the things in this painting are not that simple.

In addition to the gifts from family members, Mu Qingchen also received a lot of gifts from so-called friends, some of them were really in contact with Mu Qingchen, but most of them were sent to establish a good relationship with Mu's family.

In the end, Mu Qingchen returned to her boudoir with a full load, looking at the pile of presents on the table, the most rare thing Mu Qingchen had was the hosta given to her by Fu Feiyu.

Thinking of the smirk on Mu Zixuan's face just now, Mu Qingchen was the first to take out the box he gave him, opened it, took out the painting and put it on the table.

While the painting was unfolding, Mu Qingchen's face also turned red little by little, the expression on his face was extremely complicated.

"Green Bamboo!" Mu Qingchen didn't know whether he was angry or shy, and slapped the painting on top.

"Miss." Cui Zhu quickly appeared with small steps.

"Go and take out the books that the prefect gave me, and send them all to Zixuan's room, let him study them carefully, and copy them carefully within three days." Mu Qingchen gritted his teeth and said.

It's really not big or small, the eldest sister is also something you can tease casually!

"Yes." Cui Zhu didn't dare to ask further questions, and immediately nodded and retreated.

After Cuizhu left the room, Mu Qingchen couldn't help opening the painting again, looking at the painting with a blushing face, there was a picture of a man and a woman in wedding clothes, lying on a bed with loose skirts.

What a downfall!
