Chapter 521: Her Majesty the Queen wants to see the crazy [Painted Armor]?
As he spoke, Su Changan glanced at the drizzle falling outside.
Then he looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "It's still raining so hard. What if I get sick? I'm so thin and frail! I'm so weak that I can't take care of myself!"
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan, rolled his eyes, and said nothing. He put down the account books he had taken from the Tan and Liu families, and looked at Su Changan.
Su Changan pretended not to see the look in his wife's eyes and pretended to cough a few times: "No, I'm coughing again, cough cough, my wife is going to kick me out of the house, I can't live like this anymore"
As he spoke, he looked at Xia Fengxiang pitifully.
What a pitiful look.
Looking at her dramatic husband, Xia Fengxiang rubbed her brow with her hand, then said, "Don't force me to do it, Su Changan."
Hearing this
Su Changan was silent for a moment, then said: "Domestic violence is not good, you..."
When he saw Xia Fengxiang stand up, Su Changan immediately changed his words: "I'll go out for a walk now."
After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.
Su Changan was kicked out without even figuring out what he had done. He didn't do anything but just sat by the window watching the rain!
What a cruel woman!
Before leaving, Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang with resentment.
After Su Changan left, Xia Fengxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he glanced at the window angrily, thinking of Su Changan sitting there just now, supporting his face with one hand, his eyes looking at the drizzle outside the window.
Xia Fengxiang was inexplicably restless.
Ever since I started looking at the account books, I have less time to interact with Su Changan, especially with the pile of messy accounts with the Tan and Liu families. I even have to lie down here and take a nap at night.
It's nothing like it used to be.
But just now, when I looked at Su Chang'an by the window, his eyes were shining against the backdrop of the drizzle, like autumn water and spring mountains. Especially the way Su Chang'an stretched out his hand to catch the rain, it was like ink painting, with endless charm.
Just looking at it made Xia Fengxiang's heart beat faster.
But when he thought about the fact that he still had a lot of things to do today and had to leave again tomorrow, he immediately suppressed his anger.
After taking a deep breath, he lowered his head to look at the account book in his hand.
There were many places marked with red ink on the account book, all of which were drawn by Xia Fengxiang. When he saw another account, Xia Fengxiang frowned slightly, then drew another mark, and then looked at the next one and frowned again.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at the window and saw that there was no one there. He immediately thought that the bastard had been kicked out by him, and then he looked at the account book in his hand.
But Xia Fengxiang clenched his red pen tightly as he remembered every bad debt, every debt in the name of the court, and the way they used the things his father had worked so hard to leave behind to enrich themselves and fill their own accounts.
Although it was not written above, Xia Fengxiang could understand it.
and
The more he looked at these, the angrier Xia Fengxiang became.
When she was a child, her father took her to sit on a large map, pointed to the lines drawn in the south that connected many known countries and said, "This is the map of Daxia's future maritime trade. If it succeeds, the people of Daxia will have enough food and clothing, and the treasury will definitely be full. In addition, there is maritime transport in the south and trade in the Western Regions in the west. To the north of Yandi, we can take down Goguryeo and drive out Mobei. There is fertile black soil there, which can be cultivated. Further north, there are large grasslands for raising cattle, sheep and horses. Needless to say, the land in the southwest and southeast is fertile.
Girl, I think your father has almost finished these few things in his lifetime. If he hasn't finished them yet, you can continue.
Our Great Xia is prosperous now, and it will be even more prosperous after doing all this!
But now.
The shipping industry created by my father has become their family's business. In order to cover up their tracks, they even set up a chamber of commerce and have begun to get involved in the Western Regions.
Xia Fengxiang didn't think about it anymore. After all, he came here to deal with this matter.
And there are still many things that need to be dealt with step by step.
After Su Changan left the house, he went to the corridor in the courtyard and watched the drizzle falling outside, which refused to stop.
After thinking for a while, Su Changan turned around and looked at Li Jinxiu and Lian Wei: "I should look very fragile."
Upon hearing this, Li Jinxiu and Lian Wei were both stunned.
Li Jinxiu didn't know how to answer.
Lian Wei said, "Your Highness is just judging by her appearance. She is very weak."
Su Changan looked at Lian Wei, a little unhappy: "I am also very fragile inside. I get sad easily when someone says that."
Lian Wei and Li Jinxiu didn't know how to answer.
And Su Changan went on to say: "I am such a fragile person, how could she be so cruel to kick me out?"
Su Changan looked at the drizzle outside and sighed: "Let's go. Since we've been kicked out, let's go out for a walk and buy some snacks to eat on the way."
Lian Wei and Li Jinxiu naturally did not refuse.
Just looking at Su Changan, the two couldn't help but think of the scene where Su Changan picked up the stone table in the yard with one hand last night, and then thought of the Queen saying that they were weak, and they felt complicated for a moment.
Luo Changfeng was chatting with Li Xizhi in the house. Yu Kuangjian was still walking around as usual. Shentu Kuyue, also known as Channu, was not in the house. Two days ago, he smashed the brothel in Huajie and went to send the girl from his village back to the village out of the city.
Su Changan didn't know much about this matter. He just heard from Li Xizhi that the courtesan who played the goddess of flowers felt disappointed and wanted to leave, but the mother of the dance hall was not happy, and the young man who was pursuing her was even less happy.
So Channu was unhappy.
Su Liheng and Xu Lezhi have been living in Dianjiangchun recently, mainly because the business is so booming. According to Su Liheng, they are reluctant to close the shop.
Besides, Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan were already in the house, so Su Liheng and the others didn't dare to come and live there.
So whether he was meeting Qian Long or going to meet Hai Anmin these days, Su Liheng never returned to the house.
On the contrary, he goes to Youli's place more frequently than to his house.
Su Changan frowned and immediately wrote a letter to send back to his third aunt in the Su family. The content was not much, just one sentence: "Your son hurts my heart."
So when going out for a walk, Su Changan brought Lian Wei and Li Jinxiu with him.
As for Zhou Qianhong, after receiving some advice from Shentu Channu, she seemed to have gained some insights and was about to make a breakthrough, so she has been practicing martial arts recently and Su Changan did not disturb her.
Holding a red umbrella, after leaving the yard, Su Changan noticed that although there was drizzling rain, there were still many pedestrians on the street.
Moreover, today is the third day of the Flower Festival, so many couples go to the Temple of the Goddess of Flowers to pray, so there are a lot of couples on the street.
Moreover, on the streets of Jiangnan in the drizzle, at a glance, you can see the misty Jiangnan, and apricot blossoms can be seen everywhere, which is worthy of the beauty of Jiangnan in the previous life.
Su Changan gently lifted the red umbrella in his hand, and a small curtain of water fell along the umbrella. He looked at a pair of women holding hands, each holding a book in their arms. Both women were dressed like college students, and had a red and a blue headband on their heads, which were couple colors. After smiling gently, he couldn't help but think of Su Linhan.
So he turned his head to look at Lian Wei on the side and said, "Didn't you buy anything for my sister?"
Lian Wei was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to shake his head, but looking at the meaningful eyes under Su Changan's red umbrella, he knew that the queen must be asking on purpose, so he nodded and said: "I bought some paper and ink, and a very well-made pen. Someone in Dianjiangchun is going back to the capital, so I asked them to help deliver it to Linhan in the capital."
Su Changan nodded and turned his head, but then he noticed a sugar and oil stall on the roadside. He immediately tilted his umbrella to the side, letting the drizzle fall on his shoulders. Su Changan asked as if it didn't matter, "Come to think of it, Wei'er, don't you have any good senior sisters or junior sisters in the sect? I remember that you are the eldest senior sister of your generation, right? Don't you have any junior brothers who like you?"
Lian Wei shook his head: "When I was in the pavilion, I seldom communicated with my junior brothers. Most of the time, it was my junior sisters who came to me to ask for advice on sword moves. My junior brothers seemed to be a little afraid of me, so they rarely came to me, so there was no such thing."
Hearing this, Su Changan turned around and looked at Lian Wei: "It seems that many junior sisters like you."
Lian Wei was puzzled for a moment.
Then Su Changan smiled and said, "If the story between you and my sister spreads to Tianzhi Pavilion, it will break many people's hearts."
Lian Wei looked at Su Changan and wanted to explain.
Su Changan looked at Lian Wei and smiled, knowing that the girl was probably unaware of it. After all, with Lian Wei's conditions, how could there be no one who had a crush on her.
Thinking of this, Su Changan looked at Li Jinxiu.
Li Jinxiu noticed Su Changan looking at her, blinked and immediately shook her head: "I don't have anyone I like, and no one likes me. I've been practicing with guns and soldiers, so I can't take care of these."
Su Changan heard this and sighed, "I know. I've heard your father mention it before. You and Ruyu are the things that worry me the most. What are we going to do with you two in this state?"
Li Jinxiu blinked: "Ah?"
After Su Changan thought for a moment, he looked at Li Jinxiu and added, "And there's the cat!"
Li Jinxiu didn't understand, so she looked at Lian Wei.
Lian Wei looked at Li Jinxiu with his lips slightly opened.
Although he didn't say anything, Li Jinxiu understood, "He's sick again."
So Li Jinxiu didn't think about it anymore. After all, the Queen Mother would do this from time to time. Even His Majesty had told them privately to ignore it and let him have his illness.
Walking on the street, Su Changan saw a fish soup noodle restaurant on the roadside in front of him and immediately felt craving for it.
Unlike the mutton noodle soup in the capital, the fish noodle soup is particularly light. After Su Changan had it once, he kept thinking about it.
So he turned around and asked Li Jinxiu and Lian Wei to go over together.
The booth is not big, with only five or six tables.
The stall owner was a woman who was busy running around by herself, but she managed to take care of everything.
At the stall, there were two scholars sitting together, holding papers in their hands. There was another table with a few people sitting at it, and the other tables were empty.
When Su Changan and the others came over and took off the red umbrella, many people looked over immediately.
However, Lian Wei and Li Jinxiu were already accustomed to such occasions, so they immediately put their hands on the weapons at their waists, which immediately made those people withdraw their gazes.
Some of the men at that table still looked at her secretly, mainly because they had never seen such a beautiful girl in their lives.
The person next to him was relatively calm and immediately whispered, "Stop looking. Didn't you see that he's carrying a weapon?"
Hearing this, the man chuckled, but still reluctantly glanced at Su Changan and the others.
Then, someone spoke up: "What's going on with the Tan and Liu families today? Are they still copying?"
Someone immediately said, "Of course not. They are still copying! I just passed by this morning and saw truckloads of boxes being shipped out. I heard that each of those boxes was filled with gold, silver, and jewelry."
Hearing this, several people at the table gasped. One of them sighed, "This new Lord Hai is really cruel. I heard that when Gusu raided the Xu family, they almost demolished their house. Now they are doing the same to the Tan and Liu families."
Someone said, "Don't forget what happened to Lord Hai back then. Lord Hai was restrained. If it were me, I would kill these grandsons directly if my son and daughter-in-law were killed! But the most outrageous thing is the head of the Liu family. He was frightened to death!"
Someone else said, "He was so glorious a few days ago, but now his property is being confiscated. He is so scared. I also heard that many students went to Mr. Hai to block him. Then Mr. Hai directly brought out the Great Xia Law and the crimes committed by the Tan and Liu families, leaving all the students dumbfounded."
The people around him nodded: "I heard about it too. Several great scholars were alarmed and went to find Master Hai, but when they returned home, they closed the door and refused to see anyone. I don't know what happened."
The most burly man said immediately, "What else can it be? It must be that the evil he committed has been exposed! Don't forget, Guangling is safe and sound because of Sister Qi's ghostwriter, but what about outside? How many people have been killed by these noble families? This time Lord Hai has started to settle accounts. If it were you, I would just cooperate with the ghostwriter and I guarantee that any crime can be found out for you."
Hearing this man say this, the people around him were shocked and hurriedly grabbed him. Someone looked around and immediately said, "Don't worry about your life. The Qi family, the Zuo family, the Zhou family, etc. are all still there!"
The burly man said immediately, "What are you afraid of? Lord Hai said that all of them must be liquidated, no matter what family they are from, they will all be dealt with according to the law! And the ones following Lord Hai are the Huanglong Guards, brothers, the Huanglong Guards around the emperor, how dare they resist? What's more, forget about the Qi family, the people in Guangling City are grateful to Sister Qi for getting rid of the harm, and the Qi family didn't do anything. His Zuo family, Zhou family, etc., have all been hiding their heads and dared not go out these days. Forget that in previous years, these families held grand celebrations during the Flower Tide Festival, and their young masters even chartered many boats on the West Lake to splurge and have fun, but this year they dare not even fart!"
Listening to friends around me talking without restraint, others looked at each other, not daring to respond. After all, you said that the Tan family and the Xu family were nothing, they have all collapsed, but the Zhou family and the Zuo family are still there!
However, one person immediately said, "Speaking of the Flower Tide Festival, many people said that the swordsman who appeared that day was the sword immortal on the list."
Upon hearing this, someone immediately said, "I don't know if it's that Sword Fairy, but I know that the whole Guangling City has spread the word that he is simply the real Flower God. I also heard that Miss Qu Youwei is looking for him, saying that she wants to thank him in person. And the Ghost Swordsman has also been dispatched, also looking for him."
One of them frowned with a look of regret: "We were all busy fighting with our wives that day, so we didn't go! It's said that she looks like a fairy, so beautiful, especially when she cut out a water and fire lotus in the West Lake with one knife, it was amazing. The main thing is that everyone said so, which makes us regret it even more!"
The man who mentioned this matter before was mysterious and whispered, "Let me tell you why I am sure that woman is Dao Xian'er. The main reason is that the other two people that day were said to be Zhu Bin and Zhu Shan, two great masters of the realm from Zhujiazhuang in the mountains, but they were killed by that girl."
Everyone gasped when they heard this. People have been talking about this incident in Guangling City over the past two days, but there has been no sign of an end to it!
At most, it's an eighth or ninth rank or something like that, but this is scary enough. How come it involves the Grand Master of the End!
And the man continued, "There's something even more bizarre! Mr. Baiqi Bai, the painter, knows about it. He was originally invited to paint the twelve flower gods at this Flower Tide Festival, but it is said that he met a talented woman who was the incarnation of Wenquxing at Yunmu Pavilion on the way, and then something went wrong. As a result, he met this sword fairy again at this Flower Tide Festival, and he completely locked himself in the yard and refused to see outsiders. Some people said that he went crazy because he couldn't paint that woman! He tore up all his paintings. Now there are a lot of people waiting to pick up the scraps at Mr. Baiqi's door."
Hearing this, the people around were all surprised.
The two scholars over there also looked up at this man, and one of them even stood up and asked, "Big brother, are you serious?"
The man looked at the scholar and said immediately, "How can it be false? Haven't you scholars been holding on to that [Preface to Yunmu Pavilion] recently? It was after that that something was wrong with Mr. Baiqi, don't you scholars know that? And if you go to the back of Mr. Baiqi's house, you'll see a bunch of people there, it's hard to squeeze in, all wanting to take advantage of the bargain."
The two scholars looked at each other, bowed to the man, hurriedly left the silver, and ran away in the rain without caring about anything else. Even if it was a defective painting by Mr. Bai Qi, it was still a good one. Putting it in the study would make them look very proud!
Several people looked at the two scholars and looked at each other in confusion.
On the other hand, Su Changan frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Lian Wei and Li Jinxiu: "Is that Bai Qi trying to scam me? Why is he crazy? How did the outside world spread the news that he saw me like this?"
Lian Wei and Li Jinxiu didn't understand either and shook their heads.
Su Changan frowned even more tightly. He hadn't even said a word to him, so how could he be blamed for this?
"It is indeed Madam Li."
At this time, two swordsmen, one big and one small, stood outside the noodle stall and looked at Su Changan.
When Su Changan looked over, he saw Feng Jingtang, the ultimate swordsman of Jianshan, and his apprentice Jing Yu.
Su Changan immediately stood up and clasped his fists.
On the other hand, Li Jinxiu and Lian Wei naturally saluted Feng Jingtang.
"I didn't expect to meet you here." Feng Jingtang said with a smile while looking at Su Changan after returning the gift.
Jing Yu bowed respectfully and looked at Su Changan with some excitement.
The lazy and casual look of the past is completely gone!
Su Changan smiled and asked Feng Jingtang and Jing Yu to sit down, then said, "I have some things to deal with in Guangling. I didn't expect to meet Senior Feng and Junior Jing Yu here."
Feng Jingtang was not a pretentious person. He sat on the stool and said, "I am acquainted with Bai Qi, one of the Thirteen Armors. I heard that he was in Guangling this time. I happened to be passing by and thought of going to catch up with him."
Su Changan heard Bai Qi's name again, looked at Feng Jingtang, thought for a moment, and then said, "I heard that Mr. Bai Qi has gone crazy."
Feng Jingtang was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Changan in surprise.
Jing Yu blinked and said, "Madam, are you going to see the crazy Master Bai?"
