The good times of Fujin

At this moment, sitting in the teahouse diagonally opposite, drinking tea and studying the emperor, is a local squire from Tengzhou, surnamed Xia.Mr. Xia is a very thoughtful businessman. His first wife only had one son. He is not in good health and has a cowardly personality. He has no way of inheriting the family business.The eldest daughter is in good health, neat and capable, and Mr. Xia has already recruited her a son-in-law.Preparing that one hundred years later, he would let his daughter inherit the family business.

In this patriarchal society, for Mr. Xia to have such an idea, in the eyes of others, that is also the best.

However, the problem at this stage is not the question of who the Xia family's property will eventually belong to.It's a question of aunts and concubines.Although Mr. Xia has many concubines, there is only one concubine in the whole family, and the rest are all daughters.As the saying goes, three women play a drama.So there are more than three women in the Xia family?However, under Mr. Xia's nose, this group of women is not particularly noisy, but Miss Xia, who has gradually begun to control the family's affairs, obviously will not treat her aunt and concubine well.In case Mr. Xia returns to the west one day, maybe the eldest daughter of the Xia family will sell all her concubine sisters out!

Although Mr. Xia loves his daughters and sons, he also has feelings for them.He just thought that if he could marry off all his daughters in his lifetime, it would be a consummation of merit and virtue.However, the eldest daughter of the Xia family has a great reputation, and no one in an ordinary small family wants to marry Mr. Xia's concubine, for fear of being retaliated against in the future.Therefore, Mr. Xia focused on the foreigners who came to Weishan Lake for tourism.

Those young masters who have spare money, time and interest to travel are not ordinary people, at least the head of his family must have spare money.After the daughter is married, in addition to continuing to live a good life, she is also an assistant to the Xia family itself.Moreover, Mr. Xia didn't say that he must marry his daughter to be his wife, so it doesn't matter whether he gets a wife or not.What's more, what can I do if I become a regular wife?If my girl has the means, she can be straightened out!Mr. Xia's calculations were very sound, and the result was not bad. He married two concubine daughters last year. I heard that he was doing well in his backyard.

kindness?You say Mr. Xia is a little overconfident?People's self-confidence also has capital, and it is definitely not based on imagination!Mr. Xia's training methods for prostitute daughters and concubine daughters are obviously different.His prostitute, who was raised as a man, put on men's clothes, put on a melon skin hat, tightly wrapped around her chest┳, and ignored her Adam's apple, she was a handsome young man with both civil and military skills - Da Xia family Before the girl got married, she was even specially trained by a martial arts master.

As for the concubine daughter of the Xia family... To put it nicely, she was brought up as a lady of the family, and she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry.To put it bluntly, the concubines of the Xia family were raised like Yangzhou skinny horses.Especially the fourth miss, Xia Hanju, is really a leader.

Xia Hanyu, the fourth daughter of the Xia family, her biological mother died of dystocia, and was raised by Mrs. Xia herself.Mrs. Xia has a son and a daughter herself, and she doesn't really care much about the concubine who is raised by her side, but she should not be underestimated by others.There are many women in the Xia family, so it is easy to have quarrels or fights, so the girls in the Xia family are very skilled in house fighting.

But this Xia Hanyu is indeed a strange thing. First of all, she is a concubine raised by her aunt's side, which means that her status is detached.Her own mother has nothing to do with her, so who would really teach her about interpersonal relationships?What's even more amazing is that she is really a sturdy existence who "keeps her ears shut and only reads books"!When her sisters wanted to compare each other, or smear one or two strokes in front of Master Xia, she was immersed in the world of story books, and shed tears for those gifted scholars and beauties.

Xia Hanyu has a special status, but her heart is extremely sensitive.She doesn't participate in the intrigue between the sisters, but it doesn't mean that others won't ridicule her openly and secretly, not to mention that there is an older sister who is loved by thousands of people in front of the aunt to compare with her?The complicated growth environment has created her personality of escaping from reality and liking to find herself in books.She also likes to read story books the most, and she always likes to put herself into the articles, dreaming of being a gifted scholar and beautiful woman all day long.

Xia Hanyu's favorite Tang legend is "Huo Xiaoyu's Biography". She always feels that she should be like Huo Xiaoyu for a girl: if she likes Li Yi, she will take the initiative to ask someone to match him, and even if she is together, she will clearly recognize her own status. , But I want to be happy for eight years, not for a lifetime of white hair.However, what Huo Xiaoyu encountered was inhuman, which turned him into a ghost, and Li Yi's wife and concubine did not end well, and Li Yi himself did not get any good results.Xia Hanyu held a negative attitude towards this.In Xia Hanju's view, love should be a fearless devotion. I would rather be betrayed by others than let me be betrayed by others.In other words, she is really a saint.

After introducing the background of the Xia family, everyone should have noticed that the fourth daughter of the Xia family is about to get married, and Qianlong is the fat sheep that Mr. Xia is targeting.Mr. Xia had been waiting for the rain to stop, followed Qianlong to his inn, and spent a penny to find out from Xiaoer that the surname was Ai. He came from the capital to do business, and he was very generous and had many followers. He has even booked the entire inn as a place to stay.

Mr. Xia was very satisfied with Mr. Ai, and planned to hold a gathering of literati the next day to attract Mr. Ai. I heard that Mr. Ai was not only a businessman, but also an elegant literati.I've been wondering if there is such an event these days!Choosing a day is worse than bumping into it. Mr. Xia decided that if the weather is fine tomorrow, he will hold a poetry meeting next to Weishan Lake.When the time comes, ask Xia Hanyu to disguise herself as a man to seduce her—this is how his first two daughters managed to get the man hooked.

Mr. Xia made a plan and returned to Xia Mansion.As soon as she entered the main room, Mrs. Xia came out to greet her: "Why did you come back so late today?"

"Well, there is something wrong. Where is Hanlu? Today I saw a nice person. Tomorrow I plan to hold a poetry meeting next to Weishan Lake to attract that person. You ask Hanlou to prepare." Master Xia cut to the chase Talking about the lifelong event of the concubine's daughter, he didn't care at all that he was talking about the lifelong event of the concubine's daughter, and his wife was a concubine's wife.

"Okay." Mrs. Xia's reaction was even more flat. It seems that the couple's relationship is not harmonious! "Then where are you resting today?"

"Hmm... let's go to Mrs. Liu's side!" Master Xia raised his legs and left after explaining about his daughter, without any intention of further flirting with his wife.

However, Mrs. Xia is also used to it. In her opinion, as long as the Xia family belongs to her children in the end, everything can be discussed.As for the Xia Hanyu who was kept by her, it was just kept as a pet.As long as Xia Hanju is honest and obedient, she doesn't mind making her the most beautiful concubine the Xia family has ever married.Madam brought up, there must be some special treatment, right?

Looking at Mr. Xia who disappeared into the yard, Mrs. Xia sneered, and turned to teach the concubine.Don't let her screw up tomorrow's poetry meeting.After all, Xia Han's good marriage is also a big help to the Xia family.

In the early morning of the second day, the sky was a bit gloomy. Mr. Xia thought about it, fearing that Hongli would run away, and decided that the poetry meeting should still be held.So, Mr. Xia took Xia Hanyu, who was dressed in men's clothes, out, and the destination was Weishan Lake.

Weishan Lake is a place with beautiful scenery and rich products.How beautiful and rich it is, please Baidu by yourself. Here, I will not make money from everyone.In addition to the people who come to Weishan Lake to watch and play every day, there are also many fishermen working on the lake.It really means "not like Jiangnan, but better than Jiangnan".

The location of the poetry meeting prepared by the Xia family is a restaurant by the Weishan Lake, and many celebrities and refined scholars came here today.kindness?You said that the restaurant by the Weishan Lake is an illegal building?Just kidding, Weishan Lake, there are no restaurants and painted boats next to it, how can it live up to its long-standing name?There must be a few time-honored brands by the West Lake, right?Why can't there be Weishan Lake?

The waiter at the inn where Hongli lived received the money from Mr. Xia, so he recommended Mr. Xia’s poetry meeting to Hongli with great enthusiasm. Hongli did not doubt that he had him, so he brought two guards, Gao Wuyong and Xiao Luzi. The two went to Weishan Lake excitedly.

Not to mention, Mr. Xia's poetry meeting is really lively.Because it was a gathering of literati and refined scholars, and Mr. Xia was a businessman, he only went out of the purse field, and did not limit whether everyone was composing poems, playing the piano, painting, playing chess, or discussing scenery and customs.For a while, the whole restaurant was very lively.

This is what Hongli saw when he came in—a few people gathered around a chessboard in the corner with serious faces; Sitting like a country gentleman, he was discussing the delicious food of Weishan Lake with the people next to him; there were several people over there, one of whom was painting, and the others were discussing which poems should be put up.

The squire in the middle was Mr. Xia, and when he saw Qianlong coming in, he greeted him: "Welcome, sir. I haven't seen you before, but today is your first visit?"

"Oh, I'm here for the first time today. Come to think of it, you are the organizer of this poetry club?" Hongli shook his fan, very satisfied with this elegant environment.

"Hey, what kind of poetry meeting or not is it? It's just to provide a place for everyone to have fun, and I'm also tainted with some elegance. I don't have much talent, but all the gentlemen here are talented people. Sir, Since you can enter this restaurant, it also proves that you are also a talented person, why don't you share with us!" Well, the admission ticket for Mr. Xia's Poetry Club is not a post, but a pair at the door, just draw a piece of paper Only those who come up right can enter.

Mr. Xia is already old and refined. Although Hongli is wearing half-worn clothes, the fabric is definitely the best, and the jade pendant on his waist is also very good.Especially the purse on the waist, it's tribute satin!Who can afford satin?Thinking about it, I heard that the emperor seemed to have paid homage to Confucius and rushed to Qingdao a while ago... this one may be a relative of the emperor or not necessarily!Hanging a big fish!

No matter how shrewd Mr. Xia is, he would never have imagined that the emperor threw away the Luanjia to deceive the world, and he went to Weishan Lake for a trip by himself!

"Alright, I like these things very much, so it's better to be respectful than obedient." Hongli ignored Mr. Xia's self-effacing words, not even being polite, and went directly to the place where he wrote poems to join in the fun.

Hongli came here with the purpose of meeting friends through poetry, but unexpectedly, the participants in Master Xia's poetry meeting were not of high standard.Well, it's easy to understand, literati are all strong, truly glamorous and noble people don't bother to carry the sedan chair for Mr. Xia's daughter just for the sake of a free banquet.However, if a penny beats a hero, if you have an advantage, you don't take advantage of the bastard. There are still many cultural people who come to cheer, but the level is not up to Hongli's requirements.Of course, Hongli's requirements are also a bit high. His level standard is Ji Xiaolan and Hemeiren...

After everyone lost to Hongli in calligraphy, painting, and chess, Xia Hanyu made his debut under the grand introduction of Mr. Xia: "Oh, the player who plays the piano is a dog named Xia Han. Please invite Mr. Ai Give me some advice!"

Very good, thunder and dog blood are coming!
