Liu Cui'er kept twisting the corners of her clothes with nervous hands, and Fa Hai said with a faint smile: "The food is good, so you don't have to be so nervous. Forgive me for being abrupt, does Miss Cui'er have any other relatives, or live far away..."
Liu Cui'er shook her head lightly, and said with a wry smile: "No, otherwise Baihualou wouldn't allow such bullying. Dad has worked hard all his life, but he almost lost his place of safety in the end. If it wasn't for the luck to meet two benefactors today... ..."
Seeing Liu Cuier think of sad things, Fa Hai hurriedly interrupted her thoughts, and asked, "How can this Baihualou be so arrogant? Could it be that no one in the magistrate's yamen can handle it?"
Liu Cui'er said: "Hu Buchou, who took office three years ago, was a good official who cared about the sufferings of the people and loved the people like a son; but just one and a half years ago, after we opened the Baihualou in Suzhou, I don't know why the magistrate I pampered them very much; gradually the arrogance of Baihualou rose. Later, there was a saying among the common people that 'it is better to offend the magistrate than to provoke Baihualou'."
Jin Bai asked: "In this way, Baihualou has provoked a lot of grievances from the people, but why does it seem that the people today don't..."
"That's because Baihualou is also very particular about propriety. They don't get rich, and they don't rob friends and relatives; but it's hard to talk about a single family like us. As long as it's a bit pretty, and the family happens to be in urgent need of money; They will take the initiative to find their parents at home and let them sell their daughters for money. Isn’t there a saying, “People don’t fight with the rich, and the rich don’t fight with officials”? What’s more, even the officials dare not fight with Baihualou. The people’s psychology is very simple, but I just want to live a peaceful life. How could anyone be willing to stand up and be an enemy of Baihualou..."
Fa Hai frowned, and said, "But those who are willing to push their daughter into the fire are a minority after all! Could it be..."
Liu Cui'er said: "My lord, I don't know that as long as Baihualou releases rumors that they want to buy someone, no other big family will dare to buy; let alone Baihualou has always been generous in bidding. In order to cure diseases, save people, and bury relatives; the only choice for the family is to buy in Baihualou. Fingerprints are put on the contract of the building. It’s just pitiful for those women who lean on the door and sell their laughter... Besides, some parents who eat, drink, whore and gamble will take their own initiative to send their daughters to Baihualou.”
After roughly understanding the influence of Baihualou in Suzhou, Jin Bai said: "I almost forgot, but I heard a strange thing this morning. Some people said that Suzhou does not allow monks to enter the city? Miss Cui'er, do you know what's going on?" something?"
Liu Cui'er looked at Jin Bai strangely and said, "Where did you hear the news, Master? There is no such thing in Suzhou City..."
No?Jin Bai raised his eyebrows to see if Fa Hai had run into a ghost this morning.Fa Hai signaled Jin Bai to talk about this matter later.Fa Hai looked at Liu Cui'er and said, "What plans does Miss Cui'er have in the future?"
Liu Cui'er said in a low voice: "Since I took over the money from the young master, I have been the maidservant bought by the young master. Naturally, I will follow the young master wherever he goes."
Fa Hai comforted softly: "Miss Cui'er, I just want to help you bury your father; I have no other intentions. So you are still independent, and you are definitely not my maidservant..."
Liu Cui'er bit her lower lip: "Master thinks I'm stupid..."
Seeing Liu Cui'er's crying expression, Fa Hai hurriedly said: "No...no, girl Hui Zhilan Xin is so stupid..."
"So please take care of me, my lord." After finishing speaking, Liu Cui'er neatly packed up the bowls and chopsticks, and took a deep breath when she walked outside the house; although it was a bit sorry for Mr. Miao to follow him like this, but now besides following him... I don't know what to do.If the young master doesn't allow himself to follow him, there is almost no way out for those waiting for him.
Seeing Liu Cui'er who fled a bit, Fa Hai looked at Jin Bai in puzzlement, and asked, "Did I do something wrong?"
The author has something to say:
Chapter ⑾
"...It's not wrong, it's not right to take her with us; but besides us now, she can be said to be helpless. If we leave, we are afraid that the only thing waiting for her is death and survival in Baihualou There are two paths. The only way to solve it completely is to let Baihualou lose its foothold in Suzhou, otherwise... If you saved one Tweety, how many Tweetys can you save? There is no guarantee that there will not be a new Liu Tweety tomorrow... ..."
Fa Hai nodded in agreement: "To put an end to such things, we must solve the mysteries of Suzhou: why monks are not allowed to enter the city, why Baihualou let the originally clean prefect become theirs so easily... so what if it is just a dignified prefect Meet me and wait."
Jin Bai pointed to himself and said, "Have you forgotten who I am? It's easy to make him obedient, anyway, as long as he doesn't endanger the people in the future..."
Looking at the confident Jin Bai, Fa Hai shook his head and said: "Although it is for the people of Suzhou, but controlling other people's thoughts and behaviors; it is undoubtedly depriving this person of life. The so-called prodigal son will not change money if he can let Zhifu Hu Wouldn't it be a great merit to know how to return from a lost path... What's more, don't you think that the change of prefect Hu is very sudden? What will make a clear and good official become their boss in one day. Instead of controlling him through magic , it’s better to find out the reason and then make a decision.”
Jin Bai said: "Understood, then tonight I will go to find out the details of the prefect; I will discuss it after I come back."
Fa Hai nodded, and saw Jin Bai turn around and disappear into the room.Fa Hai habitually closes his eyes and meditates, doing so will calm him down.
After a long time, Liu Cui'er came in and saw Fa Hai sitting quietly, looking around but there was no Jin Bai's figure; Liu Cui'er asked in confusion: "My lord, what about Mr. Jin..."
Hearing Liu Cuier's voice, Fa Hai opened his eyes and said, "Oh...he has something to go out."
"Goed out? But I have been in the kitchen and yard just now, and I didn't notice Mr. Jin going out."
Fahai said: "Maybe it's because the practitioners walk with a small voice. You don't know Kung Fu so you didn't hear it. By the way, what's the matter?"
Knowing that only the two of them were alone, Liu Cui'er's mood that had just calmed down jumped again, and she said, "It's like this, I boiled hot water...do you want to take a bath first, my lord?"
Sleeping outdoors for several consecutive days really made Fa Hai feel unwell; Fa Hai smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Ms. Cui Er."
"My lord, you're welcome, just call me Cui'er. The wooden basin is in the inner room of this room, I'll fetch hot water..." Liu Cui'er was about to go out after speaking.
Fa Hai asked: "Tui'er, is the hot water in the kitchen?" Liu Cui'er nodded, and Fa Hai said with a little bit of embarrassment: "I'll just pick it up myself, if you, a girl, get scalded... Or, I've always done this kind of thing myself."
Seeing Fa Hai's embarrassment, Liu Cui'er said considerately: "I understand, so I'll go back to my room first; if you need anything, sir, just speak up."
Fahai nodded and went to fetch hot water by himself.Soaking in hot water relieved Fahai's fatigue...
When Fa Hai came out, he saw Liu Cui'er, who had already returned to her room, was sitting outside the door with an unfinished female red on her lap; she had already passed out.Fa Hai looked at the tired Liu Cui'er with pity, her father's death, Liu San's arbitrariness, she was busy entertaining the old man when she returned home after burying the old man, and she seemed to never rest... She is just a big child, and she is tired enough for one day today. This kind of mental torture is often more tiring than physical labor.
The wind at night was a bit cold, watching Liu Cui'er in thin clothes shrank unconsciously; Fa Hai patted Liu Cui'er on the shoulder, and softly shouted: "Tui'er..."
Liu Cuier moved slightly, but there was no sign of waking up.After several considerations, Fa Hai lightly picked up Liu Cuier and walked to her room, gently put her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, shook his head helplessly and left.Look at Haoyue in the sky, Jinbai who has been away for more than an hour has not come back... Fa Hai suddenly sneezed lightly, rubbed his nose, Fa Hai thought to himself: "Could it be a cold..."
Fa Hai, who was in deep thought, didn't notice Liu Cui'er who quietly opened his eyes after he closed the door; although he was sleepy, Fa Hai's gentle voice was the reason why he didn't want to wake up, but he didn't expect that he would actually carry him back to his room... Thinking of that warm chest, Liu Cui'er felt her heart was about to jump out of her heart, and the fresh sandalwood smell after bathing made her almost dizzy; Liu Cui'er buried her head in the quilt full of shame.My father just passed away, and everything that happened left me no time to feel sad; if I stay with this person all the time, will all the sad things be far away from me...
Jin Bai squatted on a big tree and yawned boredly, he was missing a move; why didn't he think that Zhifu Hu would not be at home.Jin Bai looked impatiently at the bright moon in mid-air, and unconsciously thought of Fa Hai... He murmured to himself, "What kind of eminent monk, Zhang Qing just left, and another Liu Cui'er appeared immediately. In the words of the Buddha, where do you get a lot of peach blossom debts... You clearly want to be a monk, why do you want to look like a romantic son..." I didn't realize that Fa Hai's outstanding appearance had anything to do with being a monk or not, But the person who appeared in front of him interrupted Jin Bai's discussion... In the blink of an eye, there was no one on the tree.
Hu Buchou rubbed his sore temples. He was nearly thirty years old and had a good appearance. It was not the appearance that would make a girl in Huaichun blush and heartbeat; but it would make people feel close.No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like someone who would work hand in hand with Baihualou.
"Prefect Hu, excuse me..."
Hu Buchou stared in surprise as if appearing out of nowhere
Liu Cui'er shook her head lightly, and said with a wry smile: "No, otherwise Baihualou wouldn't allow such bullying. Dad has worked hard all his life, but he almost lost his place of safety in the end. If it wasn't for the luck to meet two benefactors today... ..."
