Chapter 71
Thirty Strings of Cash...
Xie Shao finally realized that ever since he met the young lady, he had nothing to do with money anymore.
First he went bankrupt, and then no matter how much money he had, he was never able to keep it warm.
Thinking of the embarrassment he had suffered last night, he had gained experience. He would not let her empty his pockets this time. He held his sleeves tightly, and naturally could not refuse outright. He first satisfied the young lady, "There is such a good thing." Then he sighed, "But I don't have a penny left..."
Wen Shuse had expected that he was short of money, "Aunt Qing said that we can buy on credit, and I will pay you when you make money in the future."
He hurriedly pulled out a lease from his sleeve and said, "I was afraid that the market was too good, so I acted hastily. You see... Don't worry, my dear. I have seen the house. I guarantee that you will like it. Not only is the house big, but the rooms are also big."
Xie Shao stared at the big red thumbprint on the lease, and his forehead throbbed twice.
Is she here to defeat herself?
The young lady stepped forward and took his arm, leaning over and whispering, "Aunt Qing has already arranged the room for us. I've seen it all. The bed is not smaller than the one in our Xie Mansion. Not to mention one man lying on it at night, it won't be a problem for another man to lie on it." Her voice became even quieter, "I tried it secretly, and even rolled over on the bed several times, and there was no sound at all."
The young lady really knows how to poke at people's soft spots, and she always hits the mark. Suddenly, they don't seem to be so resistant anymore.
Isn't it just thirty strings of cash? He had previously spent at least a hundred taels on a meal at Zui Xiang Lou. He was curious about what kind of bed it was. "Is it really that good?"
"Whether it's good or not, you'll know after you see it with your own eyes."
Two sticks of incense later, the young lady brought the person to the house.
Aunt Qing opened the door and called out warmly, "Sir." She invited him in politely and said, "Sir, you and your wife can live in this house without worry. My eldest nephew will not be back for a year or so. There is no rush for the money. You can pay in March or May."
Xie Shao originally thought that the young lady was exaggerating, but he didn't expect that the house was really big, with four entrances and four exits, surrounded by rockery and trees, and everything else. If such a house was placed in the East Capital, thirty strings of cash would be a loss. He looked at the young lady with some suspicion, "Your aunt is probably richer than us now, why is she still doing such a job of serving others?"
"The house is not hers." Wen Shuse sighed, "Aunt is also a pitiful person. Her family despised her for being a girl and threw her out, not caring about her life or death. Now her family has been robbed and she only has a nephew left. She has to go out of the courtyard now, and there is no one to take care of the house. I am worried about leaving it to others, so I remembered Aunt Qing. My husband must make good money in the future, so we should not default on the rent for too long, or I am afraid that Aunt will be embarrassed..."
She had just put a stone on his back and fed him a candy in time, "My dear, I'll take you to see our room."
The young lady grabbed his sleeve and pulled him to the innermost courtyard.
The flowering period of the crabapples and magnolias in the yard has just passed. The branches and leaves are lush and vigorous, and the green leaves block the scorching sun above. In the breeze, the light and shadows sway gently underfoot, and the chirping of summer cicadas in the ears brings a kind of tranquility of midsummer.
The layout of the house is different from that of Xie Mansion. It is less extravagant and more comfortable.
When the door was pushed open, the straight windows on all four sides opened, and the wind blew in from the bamboos under the corridors on both sides, bringing a cool breeze to the face, making people feel relaxed and happy.
The young lady took him straight to the inner room. When the pearl curtain was opened, there was no screen in the room, and the big bed on the right was visible at a glance.
The young lady did not lie to him. The bed was very wide and the bedding was already made.
The clear blue curtain was pulled open with a golden hook, revealing a snow-colored brocade quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks and colorful threads. Two pillows of the same color were neatly placed together, and they were visibly fragrant and soft.
Although he had been living in the open air for more than ten days without blinking an eye, it didn't mean that he had forgotten the luxurious life he once had.
His reputation as a playboy in the past was not unfounded.
After going bankrupt, having nothing, sleeping in the woods, sleeping on straw beds... seeing such soft and fragrant jade again was like a dream. His mind was already a little muddled, but the young lady walked over, sat in the soft fragrance, patted the seat next to him, and said seductively: "My dear, it's really soft, do you want to come and sit on it?"
It's hard to refuse such a kind invitation. Just sit down for a while. It costs thirty strings of cash.
He walked over and sat down solemnly beside the young lady. He felt his buttocks sink slightly. The expected soft fragrance did not disappoint him and instantly spread from his buttocks to his spine.
Who is willing to move?
This was not enough, the young lady continued to pour out her love potion, "Why don't you lie down and try, it will be more comfortable."
Xie Shao turned and looked at her.
The eager look in the young lady's eyes reminded him of the street vendors selling melons. "Young Master, you can try it. If it's not sweet, you don't have to pay..."
He couldn't help but lower his head and take a look at the robe on his body. He had been fleeing all the way and he only had the same robe twice. Not only the young lady was in a miserable state, but he himself was too.
Although it was washed every day, it was still quite old and contrasted too sharply with the brand new satin underneath.
Noticing his expression, the young lady understood. Without him saying anything, she stood up and walked out the door. She said to Min Zhang who was standing in the corridor, "Go get some hot water. Your master wants to take a bath."
My father once said that if you want to confuse customers, you must strike while the iron is hot and make the person completely confused at one time. Otherwise, once he wakes up, all previous efforts will be in vain.
At Xie's house, she saw with her own eyes his obsession with the big bed, and she specifically asked Aunt Qing to decorate it according to the bed at Xie's house.
As long as he lies down, I guarantee he will never get up again.
She only wanted to trick him into bed, so she went back into the house and took the initiative to help him untie the belt around his waist. Her movements were skillful, completely unlike her clumsiness in the morning.
Xie Shaoben was still hesitating. It would be enough to just sit for a while. It would be inappropriate to lie down on the bed as soon as he entered the room.
But he underestimated her enthusiasm. Before he could come to his senses, the belt was already in her hand. The robe on her body loosened, and he looked at her in surprise, "Young lady, you are quite fast at taking off people's clothes."
Wen Shuse was also a little surprised.
It was confirmed that this was the first time that she had taken off a man's clothes. She was also amazed at his talent and agreed with him, "I might be good at taking off clothes. From now on, I will take off your clothes."
It's really hard for her, she even has to use the beauty trick.
But this feeling doesn't seem bad. It's worth the thirty strings of cash to be able to hook up with the young lady. "Then please make good use of your expertise, my lady."
It's not easy to take off your clothes.
Wen Shuse said yes, stood on tiptoe to find the button of his round collar, pressed down flexibly with his thumb, and the buttonhole came off in an instant, and he swiftly took off his shirt.
Summer clothes are very thin. Once the outer round-necked shirt is taken off, only the inner garment is left.
I thought she would hesitate no matter what, but the young lady was extremely impatient. She reached her hand towards his collar. Xie Shao subconsciously tilted his neck back.
The young lady's hand fell empty, and she looked at the man in front of her in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Are you sure you want to take it off?" I was afraid she might misunderstand me, so I reminded her in advance, "There's nothing left inside."
Wen Shuse nodded.
She knew, isn't that what the undershirt was like? She wore his last night. He should hurry up and stop dawdling. After taking a shower and lying down on the bed, he would know the benefits of thirty strings of cash.
Her hand reached out to him again, and seeing that she was suddenly so relaxed, Xie Shao began to back out. He had been running outside all day, and it was summer, so he was already covered in sweat.
Since they got married, they have never shown each other any parts of their bodies except their hands and faces. After all, it was the first time, and they had to leave a good impression on her.
He politely pushed her hand away and said, "Madam, please keep your talent for now. You will have a place to use it in the future."
Hearing the sound of water inside, Wen Shuse was not idle either. He went out and asked Aunt Qing to prepare the red seal.
As soon as the man came out of the bathroom, she immediately stepped forward, diligently snatched the towel from the man's hand, wrung out his hair, and hurriedly helped him lie down on the bed.
Seeing that he had closed his eyes, I leaned over to ask him, "How do you feel, sir?"
"Um."
Seeing him lying there motionless for a long time, Wen Shuse knew that he could not get up, so he became considerate, "I know that you work hard and it is difficult to make money, but it's okay. If you think it's too expensive, we are acquaintances anyway, so we can return it."
She was not talking nonsense. How could he still get up at this time?
I finally understand those who are being hunted down because of their debts.
They would rather overdraw their lives than buy on credit. Don't they know how high the interest rate is? They know. But the temptation is too great to resist.
As if accepting his fate, he opened his eyes and asked the young lady, "I don't have thirty strings of silver. Can you pay me ten taels of silver first?"
The young lady nodded and said, "Of course you can," "My dear, don't worry, we can take your time with the money." She turned around and took out the lease, and handed it to him along with the red seal, "My dear, you just need to press your handprint."
He was so determined before and vowed to lock his purse and not let this spendthrift woman drain him dry. However, in less than half an hour, he was still penniless and in debt, but he was willing to sign this indenture.
Wen Shuse collected the rent with satisfaction, and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his thumb clean, "If you feel sleepy, take a nap first."
Just as she was about to leave, she heard the man behind her say, "The bed is indeed soft, why don't you lie down on it and feel it for yourself."
"I slept well this morning, I'm not sleepy..."
"Have the bedding been dried in the sun? The sun smells nice." Seeing the young lady looking at him, he was obviously unwilling to insist. This time he became the one to invite her. He tilted his head and said, "There's a bucket of water in there. Please go in, young lady."
Seeing that she was standing there motionless, he added another chip, "Sleep for a while, and I'll take you to the night market in the evening."
After the bed was made, she never lay in it.
Wen Shu's eyes paused, "Okay." He turned his head and looked at the bright sun outside, "It seems to be getting late, I should be able to sleep."
She hadn't had a good day since she left Fengcheng. She finally moved into a big house. Who wouldn't want to lie on the big bed, hug the soft blanket, and stretch out her limbs...
She hurried to the bathroom, took a bath, and came out wearing Master Wen's wide robe. She saw that the man on the bed had closed his eyes, probably asleep, so she carefully crawled in from his feet.
Finally I lay down on the bed and slowly stretched out my arms and legs.
A cool breeze blew in from the window outside. It wasn't hot at all. He pulled over some quilt, put it over his chest, closed his eyes, put his hand to his nose and took a deep breath.
This is how people should live.
If my husband still wants to continue to make trouble, let him do it. Anyway, I don’t want to suffer with him anymore.
Just as she was about to turn over, she opened her eyes and saw a pair of eyes staring at her fiercely. Wen Shu was stunned and turned her head quickly, "My dear, are you not asleep?"
"You woke me up." Xie Shao put his arms behind his head and took the opportunity to move inwards.
Wen Shu looked at him apologetically, "I have been very careful."
"Well, I'm a light sleeper. Once I'm woken up, I can't fall asleep again." He tilted his head to look at her, "What about you? You slept for so long in the morning, can you still sleep?"
Wen Shuse's face froze. Wasn't it him who invited her up? Feeling him approaching, she made room for him. "Not bad. I should be able to sleep after a while."
"I can't sleep."
"ah?"
She was already in his den, why was she still pretending to be a little white rabbit? Anyway, she was the one who provoked him first. Xie Shao slowly turned sideways, his eyes gradually deepened, and he looked at the young lady in front of him directly, "Wen Er, is there something we haven't done yet?"
The two of them had experienced a life-and-death experience, and his feelings for the young lady had long been clear. He wanted to grow old with the young lady in this life.
He could also feel that the young lady cared about him.
Although their relationship did not have a good start, fortunately now they are both willing and everything is going smoothly.
They have now escaped from the predicament and the Xie family will not face a catastrophic disaster in the short term. They had originally planned to wait until they returned to the Xie Mansion in Fengcheng and to the bed they had slept on during their wedding before doing anything.
But today's timing is really good.
Outside, the sun is shining brightly, the breeze is blowing, in a big house with a big bed, a man and a woman are alone, no one is disturbing them...
With the right time, place and people, it is better to act today than to wait for a better day.
When he turned around, Wen Shuse's eyes naturally fell on his chest. After taking a bath, his collar was already loose, revealing a large area of skin. There was plenty of light in the room, so he could see it clearly. Wen Shuse paused, not listening to what he was saying at all, and exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, how come my dear is whiter than them all."
Xie Shao was startled, then slowly understood what she meant. All the thoughts in his mind were instantly dispelled, and his face froze, "Who else have you seen?"
"My brother."
Xie Shao's eyes darkened.
Wen Huai is such a grown man, why does he still want to expose his chest in front of his sister? Doesn't he know the difference between men and women? Before he could catch his breath, he heard the young lady in front of him say, "And Pei Qing."
The young lady then praised him, "My dear, you are whiter than all of them."
This compliment did not make him happy at all. It was so frustrating that the first thing his wife saw was not his body.
Suddenly he lost all energy and turned over to lie on his back on the bed. "My wife's eyes are really busy."
His reaction was so obvious that the young lady also noticed something was wrong and explained, "Actually, I just took a quick look and didn't look very carefully..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lang Jun turned his head again and stared at her with a dark face, "Do you want to take a closer look?"
Wen Shuse hurriedly shook her head, "No more, I won't look at anyone." Seeing Langjun's expression froze, she realized that what she said was still wrong, and understood, "If I want to look, I will only look at Langjun."
Xie Shao didn't say anything else. He retracted his gaze and lay there straight. "Then go ahead, lady. You don't have to be polite."
"My dear, what are you talking about? How can a young lady like me take the initiative to take off someone's clothes..."
Before she finished speaking, the man beside her took action himself, pulled the belt on the waist of his shirt, raised his arm, and continued to rest his head on it, "Madam, please feel free to do as you please."
Really white.
The light from the window just hit his chest, and his snow-white inner garment glowed with a layer of white light. His chest seemed to be coated with honey, and it was delicate, glowing, and quite strong...you could see the texture of his skin.
Further down...
It's the chest, but the way he half-covers it makes people think about it.
My heart suddenly started beating faster and faster. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I stepped forward and closed his collar. "I saw it, my dear, you should put it on. It's not decent."
"Unsatisfied?"
Wen Shuse nodded, "Satisfied."
“Does it look good?”
"It looks good." She didn't actually look at it much, but was afraid that he would take it off further, so she used both hands and pressed over to hold down his collar, praising him, "My dear, you are extraordinarily handsome. Both your face and body are better looking than my brother and Pei Qing."
Seeing that he was just staring at her without saying anything, Wen Shuse was stunned, "My dear, you don't believe it?"
"Believe it." Xie Shao's throat rolled slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Madam, take your hands out first."
hand......
Where are her hands?
He felt a sudden rise and fall under his palm, and Wen Shuse quickly found his hand. It seemed that what he touched was not cloth, but smooth and hot.
There is also a foreign object in the palm of the hand that cannot be ignored, which is neither soft nor hard.
It was like a bolt from the blue. The man stood there suddenly, not daring to move. His face flushed from his neck to his ears, but his movements were extremely calm.
My father said that you should not panic no matter what happens.
The more panicked you are, the easier it is to get into trouble. As long as you remain calm as water, you can confuse the other person's eyes and make him unable to see what you are thinking.
She calmly pulled her hand away and straightened his collar. She looked up at the man below, who was looking at her with a deep gaze. He had delicate features and was really good-looking. She smiled at him with curved lips, lowered her head and pecked him lightly on the lips, and then...
He jumped out of bed at lightning speed.
Xie Shao's eyelids jumped, and he reached out with his arm instantly, but still caught nothing.
Is she a loach?
She stumbled to her feet and stood at a safe distance. The young lady showed the proper panic on her face. "My dear, I didn't mean to touch you. You have to believe me."
Xie Shao was so aroused by her that he was furious. He tried his best to suppress his anger and smiled at her, "Wen Er, come here."
He looked like he was just going to eat her alive, and she was not blind.
Wen Shuse shook his head, "I won't come over. You can sleep alone for a while. If you want to go to the night market, I have no problem with that. I'm full of energy."
She took two cautious steps and grabbed the clothes on the wooden table, "My dear, have a good rest. I won't disturb you." She turned around and ran faster than a rabbit.
"Bang!" After the sound of a door closing, everything in my ears became completely quiet.
Xie Shao stared at the bead curtain still floating in front of him, half-sitting on the bed, stunned for a long while before he came to his senses.
After spending a lot of time and effort, I cast a net but didn't catch a single shrimp. In the empty house, the only thing left was the lease with the red seal on the wooden table.
Min Zhang knew that his master and Third Madam were going to sleep, so he didn't dare disturb them. After fetching the water, he went to the corridor outside to wait.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps. I turned around and saw my master with a gloomy face. He asked me directly, "Have you asked about the copying job?"
Min Zhang nodded, "I asked, but I don't think you can do it."
"Why don't you do it anymore?"
"If you want to get a job, you have to write 60,000 to 70,000 words for the shop for free. Only if the people above are satisfied can you be hired."
"Sixty or seventy thousand?" Xie Shao was stunned and said angrily, "Isn't this exploitation and oppression?"
Min Zhang didn't respond.
People from all over the world want to come to Dongdu, but it is not easy to gain a foothold in Dongdu.
What Dafeng lacks the least is literati and poets.
The book copying industry is already saturated, why should you bother to compete with others for a job? He took out a piece of rice paper from his pocket and said, "But you still have this."
Xie Shao glanced at it.
Naturally, he recognized it. It was the letter of appointment that Prince Jing had given him yesterday. "Third Young Master was originally the military prosecutor of our palace. Now that you have arrived in the Eastern Capital, this position is no longer needed. However, I have asked His Majesty for a letter of appointment. With this letter, you can take up the position at any time."
The treasures are here. I wrote one more paragraph. It’s a little late. Here are 100 red envelopes~
