Maoyoufang

Tongyun firm is not the most famous firm in Dajin, but it is the firm with the widest access to various industries, covering all provinces, cities and even abroad.It is said that Yanmi started, but in fact it started from the ancestors. At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, Tong Yuguang’s ancestors had the foresight. They knew that the court would change the tax system in the future. The focus shifted to other businesses.

Tea is one item, as is the sale of antique calligraphy and paintings, and treasures.Because Tongyun Company has its own private boat, they have always been low-key in business, but they actively open up channels in various places.The original salt and rice business has not been let go, but other methods have been used to reduce the operating tax avoidance. Many rice warehouses and warehouses with other names or names are actually products of the Tong family.

From the various tributes presented to the palace to a wave drum played by the children in the neighborhood, it is possible that they all came from Tongyun Company.Experts who have been in business for decades have not been able to get a glimpse of the leopard. From Jiang Maoyou's point of view, it is difficult to understand deeply, but he can say with certainty: "Tong Yuguang is really rich, he can break his hands and feet." Eat and wear for several lifetimes!"

Jiang Maoyou asked several people who had seen the Tong family's family, and they all said that the number of household pairs alone is quite impressive.

The so-called mutual pairing refers to the wooden and brick carvings on both sides of the lintel or hexagonal columns. There are at most two pairs for ordinary people, four pairs for high-ranking officials, and even more for royal relatives. There are also four pairs of households on the lintel in the heavily enclosed courtyard.As for the gate, it is generally a stone pier decorated by the town house in front of the gate. Civil officials use stone boxes, and military officers use drums. The status of a family can be seen at a glance when you walk in front of the gate.

After all, those are symbols of wealth, even though the Tong family simplifies those extravagant things and hides their ambitions very well, the seemingly simple courtyard is full of packs of wolves.

At that time, Jiang Maoyou chatted with the guests about the anecdotes of these wealthy businessmen, and said with a smile: "Isn't that as low-key as our workshop? It's just that there is no door to door in our workshop. It is full of rockery, small bridges and flowing water. What do you think?" Even if you are lazy, you can't neglect the masters who are willing to reward you with face and money."

After the painting meeting that day, Tong Yuguang and Dou Xuemo lived in the guest room of Zhongyuan in Kuang Yifang. But after that, the pricing is added and multiplied, which is more surprising than usury.Jiang Maoyou loves money, the more money he has, the better his smile looks, so he specially ordered someone to serve him.

But Dou Xuemo retorted: "You don't need to wait or anything. Don't let people come in to disturb you. We plan to rent this small courtyard for a month. Money is not a problem."

Jiang Maoyou sent Lang Qingchi to clear the front account first, but it was still Dou Xuemo who responded.After several greetings, Jiang Maoyou discovered that Dou Xuemo had a catchphrase, "Money is not a problem." Nonsense, he counted his own expenses on Tong Yu's bald head, so money is naturally not a problem.

This made Jiang Maoyou disdain Dou Xuemo, who is also a man, at least he spent the money he earned, and Dou Xuemo was just lucky to be able to climb up to Tong Yuguang.In terms of temper, Dou Xuemo's most important thing is self-esteem, and in terms of appearance, Dou Xuemo is only a little more delicate, speaking of which, even Tong Yuguang was born more beautiful and delicious than Dou Xuemo!

The autumn auction hosted by Kuang Yifang is coming soon. Jiang Maoyou is a patient person, but he likes to arrange the work quickly and neatly. people dare not slack off.The downside is that even though some people admire Jiang Maoyou, few dare to get close to him.

A few days before the autumn auction, Kuang Yifang was closed. Although the workshop was closed, tickets were still accepted. Several musicians and dancers went out separately. Jiang Maoyou moved out of the painting table to the flowing water garden in Zhongyuan. In a daze on the Daxi stone specially selected for landscaping.

Apart from being in charge of Jiang Maoyou’s food and some important banquets, Qin Siyuan didn’t care about anything else. Now he came to him as usual to confirm whether he wanted to make additional snacks. What else do you want to try?"

"Dragon meat."

Qin Siyuan narrowed his eyes, Jiang Maoyou was afraid that he would catch him to try the knife, so he changed his words: "Uh huh, dragon meat is too much trouble. I know that no matter what I want to eat, you can do it, but still... um... I I want to eat pine nut mooncakes, okay?"

Only then did Qin Siyuan release his murderous intent, and responded indifferently: "Yes. You can only eat two, too much is not good."

"I want to eat again tomorrow, you can do more."

"No, this is not good. I will make it tomorrow if you want to eat it. You are lazy, I am not like you."

Jiang Maoyou turned his face away and stuck out his tongue, muttering: "I don't have it."

Qin Siyuan left Jiang Maoyou alone to bask in the morning light, walked out of the garden, and passed Tong Yuguang in the corridor. He had met this man a few times when he was cooking in other places before, and the two were polite. Nodding, and was about to pass by, Tong Yuguang stopped him and said, "Chef Qin, don't come here without any problems."

Qin Siyuan saw that he wanted to have a chat, so he turned to face him.

"I always thought about finding a good place to open a restaurant one day, and then invite you to be the chef. I didn't expect Jiang Dang's to recruit you one step earlier."

"There are not many people who eat my food here, and my craftsmanship is not for profit here."

"Jiang Dang's family really appreciates and takes care of you, and let you cook for people who understand."

"Hmph." Qin Siyuan sneered, regardless of whether the other party was a guest or not, he said, "My dishes are not difficult to understand, and the food and drink for Maoyou are very simple, and his taste is not bad, sometimes even a child's appetite. But when he talked about my food, he was sincere and never perfunctory.”

"So many people can use the same method to recruit you. How sharp Jiang Maoyou is and how good at disguising himself is. You don't know, Chef Qin. I'm really curious why you seem to be protecting him in your words?"

Qin Siyuan looked at him for a long while, heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Don't force anything. No matter whether he really understands my every process and my thoughts, he never asks me to cook more than ten days, and he understands me. I just wanted to cook something for him. Rather than saying that he understands my craft, it is better to say that he knows my heart. The others were more or less moved by the child's unintentional things, otherwise they would have run away with their own money after the death of the former head of the family. "

"What's so good about Jiang Maoyou?" Tong Yuguang had a gentle expression, and his tone was flat and polite, but there was a hint of disapproval.

"He's not good, he's selfish. When dealing with him, be careful not to be tricked by him. He won't make you happy with a knife, he will slowly cut your heart." Qin Siyuan said, suddenly chuckled: "I I just admire him, and pursue what I want. How about you? Tong Yuguang, don’t underestimate this bastard, he is cunning.”

Tong Yuguang's smile was complicated, and he couldn't help but ask him one more question: "Why are you okay when you speak so badly of him?"

"If you don't want to be strong, follow him, but I want to practice myself."

"..."

Tong Yuguang was speechless, there are really weird people in this world, a while ago I saw a monk eating meat, and now I met a cook talking about cultivation, then Jiang Maoyou is really a demon.

Jiang Maoyou focused on the foreground, and didn't notice that there was someone talking in the corridor not far away. He suddenly brushed and wrote on the cut white cold gold paper.

Tong Yuguang watched from a distance, and felt that when he interacted with Jiang Maoyou before, the child was free and free, free and easy, but he was very particular about writing, ink and paper.

Those papers were supposed to be invitations for the autumn auction. Jiang Maoyou was pressing the corners with square seals. Suddenly, he took another piece of white paper and put some ink on it. He changed it to a round seal and stamped it, and turned around and handed it to Tong Yuguang. , smiled and said: "Brother Tong, please come early for the autumn auction, I will definitely save you a seat with good feng shui."

It turned out that Jiang Maoyou just noticed that there was a person standing behind him, and he was definitely not an artist from Kuang Yi Fang, but nine out of ten were residents, so he paused for a while.

Tong Yuguang took the paper with a smile, on it was not words, but funny graffiti, a grimace.The round seal is engraved with the words "Looking at the moon in the mirror". If these four characters are applied to two people who have a good impression of each other, there is a sense of admiration, but there is also the meaning of hatred that is desired.

"Why is mine different from other people's?" Tong Yuguang glanced at the square stamp on the other sheet, the word is "It's easy to say goodbye", and the complete sentence should be "It's easy to say goodbye, but it's difficult to see." The user is affectionate, but Jiang Maoyou's use of this seal only made him feel hypocritical and rampant. Although he didn't disdain, he found it funny.

"I have no friendship with Brother Tong. Of course I made your paper specially." Jiang Maoyou playfully wiped the tip of his nose, and accidentally wiped a few marks of cinnabar from the inkpad on his nose, looking weird and funny.

"Maoyou."

"Um?"

"...Alas." Tong Yuguang was too lazy to say, took out the handkerchief and wiped it clean for him, Jiang Maoyou let him wipe his nose without any precautions, and he knew it when he saw the blush on it.

Tong Yuguang folded the handkerchief and put it away, and jokingly said to Jiang Maoyou's red nose with a beautiful piece of paper: "The square seal is the most authentic, the round seal is acceptable, and the cinnabar is the best for the ink paste, followed by the red fat. It seems that What you use is high-quality cinnabar, which is quite old-fashioned."

"Brother Tong really knows the goods, but I gave you a round seal because you and I are brothers, so naturally there is no need to be so restrained. As for the paper, there are no words... Heh." Jiang Maoyou smiled and said: "Little brother, what do I think Tong? Brother can see through, so there is no need to say more.”

There was a slight arc on Tong Yuguang's mouth, and he said: "Slick tongue." The mouth is sweet and the belly is sword.

"There is also a white jade seal on the table." In fact, it was the first thing Tong Yuguang noticed.

Jiang Maoyou picked up the white jade square seal and explained with a smile: "This is a relic left to me by Weng Liang. It is not for sale. He also drew a few pictures for me before he was alive. This seal is stamped on it. This seal is a gift from his old friend. When Liang Weng was in trouble, he was almost forcibly mortgaged by the gangsters. It happened that I helped him out of danger. Before he died, he gave me this seal, but this seal is also a sentimental thing. When I meet It may be donated to someone who is suitable for it, so it is not for sale.”

Tong Yuguang became more and more curious, put down his body and begged: "Can you lend me a few glances?"

"No problem." Jiang Maoyou generously handed him the seal.

The engraving on the seal reads "North and South, East and West are only together without separation". It is really a sentimental thing, and it has nothing to do with Jiang Maoyou. Tong Yuguang raised his eyes to meet Jiang Maoyou's gaze. The latter scratched his cheek inexplicably, as if he was a little awkward. She pretended to be stupid with a blushing smile.

Tong Yuguang returned the seal to him, and saw another interesting thing. "Hey, why do you have two black circles now?"

Jiang Maoyou touched his eyes with his fingertips and laughed: "Recently, I have been sleepwalking and practicing sword with others at night, probably because of this reason I couldn't sleep well. Brother Tong slept well, his complexion was rosy and he was refreshed."

"Probably because the environment of Kuang Yifang is good." He glanced at the case and said, "Your paper and ink are all good. Why don't you replace the pen tube if it's cracked?"

"Well...the crack is cracked, but I'm used to it, not to mention that it can still be used to this extent." Jiang Maoyou picked up the old small script, and said with a smile: "Some things are not as good as new, but I still like to use what I'm used to. Things. Just like teapots, cups and bowls, they also need to be raised.”

"I didn't expect you to be so nostalgic."

"It's not nostalgia, people's hearts are changeable, things don't, they are honest, even if I fold this pen, it will still be mine." Jiang Maoyou smiled while holding the pen holder, looking at people with the end of his eyes, and said: "I am greedy. It's quite greedy, but it's not a stupid fish in the water, it just eats the bait it loses."

The implication is that he wants Tong Yuguang to save himself from temptation. Although they have known each other for a short time, they are like opponents who have been fighting each other for several years.Jiang Maoyou thought of something, yawned and said: "You are also very familiar with the culprit who made me sleepwalk and practice swords. That guy is no longer interested in painting, but is in a competition. I want to borrow Tongxiong Jinkou, please let him go. If you want to practice, brother Tong can practice Qi on the bed with him, don't disturb my sleep..."

Ever since Dou Xuemo and the others became residents, Jiang Mao hadn't had a good night's sleep. Poor sleep and hunger both made him restless and irritable. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Tong Yuguang smiled wryly, nodded, and changed the topic: "Since I can see through you, you must be able to guess why I came to Beijing. Your greed is not too much, but too many people are like fish, and sooner or later they will burst." Belly. The tax system of the Jin Dynasty has been changed again and again, only increasing but not decreasing, and the prosperous places are even more prosperous, but those officials don’t know the hardships of the countryside. It’s like the ministerial order of the three provinces of the dynasty──”

"Hey!" Jiang Maoyou waved his hand to ask him to stop the topic, tilted his head and smiled wryly: "Since fish can burst its belly, then you just wait for it to burst. I'm just a common man, and I don't understand anything about officialdom and shopping malls. Tong Just laugh at me, brother, I don’t mind.”

Jiang Maoyou depended on life and death, and didn't want to talk to him about the relationship between officials and businessmen.Wait for a few more years at most, and when Li Zhenmu stabilizes the situation, it will gradually get better, but now he will lose his words if he talks too much, and he can't trust anyone, let alone talk to anyone about it.

To Jiang Maoyou, Tong Yuguang in front of him was just one of thousands of passers-by.

"If you can trust me, please wait and see. It won't be too long..."

Tong Yuguang narrowed his eyes suspiciously, and asked him, "I can wait, but what about the common people?"

"All reforms inevitably require sacrifices. That's all I've said. It's time to go to breakfast. Brother Tong, do what you want." Jiang Maoyou packed up the paper and pens, called the people in the house to move the table and case in, and waved goodbye to Tong with a smile. Yu Guang.

Jiang Maoyou walked away with his hands behind his hands, and said with a smile in his heart: "I still can't help but talk too much. Although there is no evil or business, you don't look like a rich and unkind guy... It's just that you don't like people like Dou Xuemo, too, It's too tangled."

***

On the eve of the autumn auction, Jiang Maoyou couldn't sleep, so he went up to the eaves to walk around.It's all because Dou Xuemo used to come to bother him almost every night, so he could only guard one place, but now it has become a habit and he suffers from insomnia.It is likely that Dou Xuemo wanted to steal paintings to offer Buddha or frame something, but later it turned out that he wanted to learn martial arts with him.

He guessed that Dou Xuemo must have told Tong Yuguang that there was a mysterious man in white as a nursing home in this workshop, and it was not surprising that Tong Yuguang guessed that the man in white was Jiang Maoyou, but what he wondered was why Tong Yuguang didn't just tell Dou Xue Mo, he is the man in white?

Tong Yuguang wants to watch a play?Is there any good show to watch him fight with Dou Xuemo?It's better to wait for Dou Xuemo to entangle him, and try to play tricks...

"Whether it's a sword or an abacus." Jiang Maoyou floated in the autumn night with a gloomy face, like a ghost, cursing in a low voice: "I wrote down this account!"

When he came back to his senses, Jiang Maoyou actually came near the guest room where Tong Yuguang and Dou Xuemo lived. Fengdi's buildings were colorful and tall, with very high beams, and swallows flew into the house from the upper window from time to time in spring. inside.

The buildings of Kuang Yi Fang place the most emphasis on privacy. As long as the doors and windows of different buildings are covered, you can’t see any beds, tables and chairs. At most, you can see the wall. The location of Jiangmaoyou Station is not where ordinary people can go. It's on the roof so you can clearly see what they're doing in the house through the transom through which the swallows come in and out.

Tong Yuguang was only wearing his underwear and sitting on a chair reading a book. Dou Xuemo was looking for something, so he turned around and asked Tong, "Where is my night clothes?"

"Don't go looking for any white-clothed people anymore. If you do this again, I'll be jealous." Tong Yuguang thought of Jiang Maoyou's helpless and sleepy appearance in the daytime, and couldn't help smiling warmly.

Jiang Maoyou could understand lip language, and he was having fun, so he simply sat on the roof and watched from a distance, he wanted to see how Tong Yuguang would deal with that bad-tempered Dou Xuemo.

"What are you eating, I went to find the man in white for nothing else!" Dou Xuemo retorted angrily, but her expression was shy.

"Tomorrow we have to cheer up, let's rest early tonight." Tong Yuguang put away the book, took Dou Xuemo's hand and walked to the bed.

Dou Xuemo looked unwilling, and struggled: "Aren't you worried? As your bodyguard, I still can't beat a man in white with unknown origin."

"Don't worry. In case something happens, you and I will be together. As long as you are by my side, Xue Mo. Besides, I haven't encountered any danger all this time, so you don't need to worry too much."

"Yuguang, since coming to Fengdi..." Dou Xuemo shook his head, and sat on the bed with Tong Yuguang to chat. He sat on the outside, took Tong Yuguang's hand and said, "No, since I left my hometown to be with you, I I've always felt uneasy."

"Why are you uneasy?" Tong Yuguang gently stretched out his arms around him: "Tell me."

"I don't know. I'm very scared, especially because everyone in Beijing is as smart as a ghost. I often don't sleep well, and I also have nightmares when I sleep. I dream that you and I are involved in lawsuits, or people are hunted down. In the dream In the end you were covered in blood and asked me to leave, I was really scared.”

"It was just a dream."

Jiang Maoyou rubbed his eyes, and sneered from a high place: "Huh, I deserve it. No matter who told you to make me unable to fall asleep, I deserve it. Go to sleep, and I can rest assured to sleep when you are asleep, spit."

In the next scene, Jiang Maoyou saw Tong Yuguang kissing Dou Xuemo on the cheek, and coaxed, "It's easy to say goodbye, but difficult to meet."

Jiang Maoyou frowned: "Fuck you, steal words." Isn't that the words he printed!

Dou Xuemo blushed, and took the initiative to kiss Tong Yuguang back, kissing lightly again and again, and the two of them took off their clothes.Normally, Jiang Maoyou would just feel bored and dodge automatically, but he was attracted by Tong Yuguang's affectionate and focused appearance.

How can there be such a man who is so heart-warming, with a pair of long eyes that usually hide the gods, now affectionate and full of tenderness, and his long hair hanging down makes him even more charming. He has the illusion of "this is a man who has changed from a vixen", but This beauty and tenderness are only seen by the sweetheart.

Jiang Maoyou propped his hands on his cheeks, and was sitting in an admiring posture. He pursed his lips and sighed, "Oh, what a monster. Usually, I can't see it. The tall and long body of the northern man with such a white and gentle face, he will be cunning again. Eyes are also glistening, what a monster..."

He watched the two people in the room rubbing each other's ears, their clothes half hung, and the interaction became more and more intense. Dou Xuemo took out something lubricating and wiped it between the two of them.Due to the overlapping figures, Jiang Maoyou couldn't see clearly, but he saw Tong Yuguang pulling Dou Xuemo's legs away with his back turned to him, and then slowly pushing in...

Hmm... um... It turned out that Tong Yuguang was the one above, so Dou Xuemo was the one who got inserted.Jiang Maoyou admired Tong Yuguang's handsome appearance just now, and he was a little lost. This incident suddenly shocked his reason, causing him to almost fall off the roof.

The fall was not successful, but Jiang Maoyou bit his tongue, covered his mouth with tears in his eyes, and groaned in pain: "I didn't expect you to be the one above. You really can't be judged by your appearance!" It must have been dazzled just now!

I also want to take another look to confirm that the bed curtain has been put down at some point. Jiang Maoyou is confused and feels that his spirit is too poor to sleep. He forced himself to go back and lie down to catch up on sleep. Even if it is a nightmare, sleep is earned arrive.

He originally thought that the one on top was Dou Xuemo who knew martial arts.Although that Tong Yuguang was tall and didn't look thin, but he had a gentle and elegant demeanor, and he didn't seem to be able to overwhelm a warrior.Perhaps Jiang Maoyou was even more surprised that the arrogant Dou Xuemo was willing to bow down under another man, but if that person was Tong Yuguang, it seemed that it would not be so difficult to understand... No, love is incomprehensible to Jiang Maoyou!

"Alas." Jiang Maoyou lay on his own bed, his heart beating non-stop.No matter who fell in love with whom, he was always indifferent, even seeing Yu Younian and Zhu Jinrong's ambiguous development, he only felt it was fresh, and he had never been so flustered.

Jiang Maoyou hates this kind of confusion, but unexpectedly when he closes his eyes, Tong Yuguang's extremely tender demeanor is all over him, staring at his lover so deeply, he cherishes all of Dou Xuemo's actions, as if he is afraid of putting Dou Xuemo in the same way. Xue Mo was like a bruise.

It is completely different from the atmosphere of physical entanglement between him and Li Yanmu, which makes people want to indulge.

Half-dream, half-awake, in the confusion, Jiang Maoyou had delusional thoughts, imagining that the gentle touch like Tong Yuguang was facing him, and the thing in the gap raised his head and wanted to cry for a long time, begging for mercy tremblingly, forcing Jiang Maoyou to move away The palms of the hands are comforted and played, and there is no peace.

After venting, he sighed to the silence and darkness of the room: "It's just desire. Let's forget about venting." It was just a passerby, a passerby that was rarely pleasing to the eye and accidentally paid more attention to.

However, what makes Jiang Maoyou uneasy is the strange desire in his heart.He knew that if he only wanted to be touched like that, the object that came to his mind should be Li Zhenmu instead of others, but Li Zhenmu possessed him rather than cherished him.Moreover, not everyone who cherishes him can accept it, and there are very few people who can make him look good, but it is Tong Yuguang.

Jiang Maoyou sneered, and laughed at himself: "It deserves it."
