    Xue Ling thoroughly cleaned the four rooms in the small courtyard, even washing the tablecloths. Although she was so tired that her back ached, she felt particularly accomplished when she saw that everything was as clean as new.

    Fang Jinshi sat under the eaves for a long time, looking here and there from time to time. The two girls could feel that he must have encountered something important and difficult to decide. He sat there and thought hard, so no one dared to disturb him.  he.

    A drop of water fell from the sky and landed on his face. Fang Jinshi looked up and saw Xue Ling standing in the corridor on the second floor. She found a bamboo pole and wiped it clean, preparing to make a rack for drying clothes.

    "Yes!" Fang Jinshi stood up suddenly with a slap on his thigh and shouted excitedly. Seeing the excitement on his face, Master Li hurried over and asked, "Have you thought of a good idea?"

    Fang Jinshi quickly ran up to the second floor, snatched the bamboo pole from Xue Ling's hand and said, "Where did you get this long stalk? I've been looking for it for a long time but I can't find anything suitable." Xue Ling was confused and didn't know what he meant.  , pointed to the middle of the room and said: "It's in that corner."

    Fang Jinshi said, "Why didn't I see it just now?" As he spoke, he carried a long bamboo pole down to the courtyard, walked to the jujube tree, and went to beat jujubes.  Master Li also walked to the tree and said, "You have been sitting there for a long time thinking hard, just thinking about how to beat these dates?"

    Fang Jinshi raised the long pole to find the jujubes on the tree and said, "What do you think I am thinking? I am still thinking about what kind of rope ladder I can make to climb up this jujube tree. After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't think of it." Li Shishi immediately  I was speechless, just watching him go around two jujube trees looking for the remaining dates on the treetops. Although he had a bamboo pole, it was a little short. He only hit two more dates, but the ones at higher places were still out of reach.  , he found a stool and stepped on it and stretched out the pole to hit, but it was still useless. After a long time of tossing, it made people angry. Fang Jinshi threw the bamboo pole on the ground and said angrily: "I went to the street to buy a long bamboo pole." After that, he slammed the door.  Striding out the door.

    Xue Ling came over and picked up the bamboo pole on the ground, wiped it clean and said, "Why is he like a child? He wants to eat dates. They are sold everywhere on the street, but he can't. He makes himself angry. Why bother?" Master Li  He smiled and replied: "The dates on this tree are different from those sold on the street. In fact, the dates are not important. What is important is the fun of beating the dates."

    "Is there any fun in beating dates?"  It's fun for him. Not only is he the head of the family, but there are so many people following him. They want to make a fortune by relying on him to have a good meal. With such a big business, that step is not going to be scary at every step, but he must be walking on thin ice.  There is a lot of sorrow, a lot of grievances, and too much unwillingness. Only in front of us can he do whatever he wants without thinking about the consequences or whether it is suitable. Mrs. Liang is not here to care about him.  Of course Zaozi will have fun." After she finished speaking this long paragraph in a calm tone, Xue Ling lowered her head and thought about it, feeling like she had been taught something. These were things she would never have thought of. Master Li was not only outstanding in appearance.  , obviously understands men better than she does.

    Master Li took one of the washed dates, put it in his mouth, took a bite and said, "This date is very sweet." He handed the other one to Xue Ling. Xue Ling tasted it and found that it was indeed delicious.

    The wind blew again, and the rain that had stopped for a while started to fall again. It was heavier than the previous silky drizzle.  Get an umbrella." Master Li said: "Do you know where he went? We can only wait for him to come back. When he comes back, he will do those ridiculous and stupid things, and we will just accompany him crazy."

    He didn't wait too long. Fang Jinshi walked in from the gate in the rain with a long bamboo pole on his shoulders. His clothes were soaked all over, and his wet shoes left footprints on the dry ground when he walked.  There were traces of sweat and rain on his forehead and flowed down his neck. He looked very embarrassed, but Fang Jinshi was full of energy. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "It took me three streets to find someone selling bamboo poles. It's really hard to find."

    Seeing him like this, Xue Ling quickly found him a cloth to wipe the rain off his face. Li Shishi said: "This bamboo pole is so long this time, it will definitely work." Fang Jinshi said: "It's raining now, wait until it stops.  Fight again.¡±

    Master Li took the bamboo pole and said, "You take a rest first, and I'll go beat it." As he said that, he walked to the courtyard in the rain and went to the jujube tree to beat dates. The rain was still heavy, and he quickly took off her clothes.  It got wet, but she didn't care at all. She hit a few shots but didn't get any dates. Fang Jinshi came over and took the bamboo pole and said, "I'll do it. I'll do it."

    Seeing this, Xue Ling also walked into the rain. Fang Jinshi raised his pole to hit dates. The two women picked them up in the rain. The dates they picked up were all carried in their skirts. They looked at which branches still had dates and told him, and Fang Jinshi came over to knock them down.  , the three of them laughed and played for a long time in the rain, and made sure again and again that all the dates on the two jujube trees were cleaned.Seeing that each of them had picked up dozens of them, Shishi put down the bamboo pole against the wall and said, "I told you, you can't see many down there, but in fact there are quite a few."

    Xue Ling said: "This jujube must be delicious. If it doesn't taste good, I'll be sorry for the rain." Fang Jinshi picked the largest jujube and said, "If you eat this, it must be delicious." Xue Ling said, "Also.  You didn't clean it first." Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "Why wash it" As he spoke, the words were forced into her mouth.

    Master Li took a date and said, "Let's share this between the two of us. Which one of us will bite the date core?" Fang Jinshi turned around and asked, "How to divide it?"

    Li Shishi didn't answer, he just put the date into his mouth and bit it with his teeth. Fang Jinshi understood instantly, took her waist and kissed her, and at the same time bit off half of the date in her mouth. He let go of Li Shishi and said, "That's not true.  Fair enough, if you bite more, the jujube pit will always be on your side." Xue Ling looked aside and felt that she would never learn from Master Li's shamelessness, her rich and varied flirting methods, and her rich and varied flirting methods.  These are the tricks of courtship that she could never imagine.

    She was in a daze when Fang Jinshi hugged her and kissed her. Xue Ling was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment. Fang Jinshi let go of her and laughed, and then said: "You two go boil some water and wash it with hot water.  Don't catch cold if you put on dry clothes." After saying that, he walked out the door. Master Li asked behind him: "Where are you going?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "I'm going to Jinxianzhuang to wash up. You don't have to wait for me to eat." He walked out of the door, closed it, and drove the carriage to Shiquan's Jinxianzhuang. Although he was cold and wet now, Fang Jinshi was in a good mood.  But she is extremely happy. When she is with Liang Cuirong and Huang Jinmian, she is more serious and has less opportunities to fool around. But with Xue Ling and Master Li, there is no pressure to fool around in a very informal way. There are many benefits to being serious and joy in being informal.  But there are many.

    Fang Jinshi drove to Jinxianzhuang. An acquaintance of the waiters saw him wet and came over to ask. Fang Jinshi smiled and greeted them. He walked to the living room where Shi Quan usually received guests. Shi Quan was not there, only Feng Wan was sitting there.  Shi Quan was looking at the account books where she usually sat. When she saw Fang Jinshi acting like this, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

    Fang Jinshi laughed and said, "The weather is too hot. I deliberately got some rain to cool off. Where's my eldest brother?" Feng Wan said, "He is meeting an important guest in the backyard. You should go wash up and change into dry clothes. It's easy to catch a cold.  "

    Fang Jinshi went to the bathing place of Jinxianzhuang and took a hot bath. He changed into clean clothes inside and out. He suddenly felt refreshed. He returned to the living room. Feng Wan had prepared it for him in advance.  Fang Jinshi was sitting there drinking hot tea while chatting with Feng Wan. After a while, Shi Quan was still not there, so Fang Jinshi asked, "What kind of guest are you going to meet in the backyard instead of in the living room?"

    Feng Wan said: "This guest doesn't want to meet strangers, so he specifically proposed to discuss it in the backyard." Fang Jinshi yelled, Feng Wan stopped what he was doing and said, "Brother, when you were in Yanzhou City, did you ever hear about the Liu Family?"  Where is the fort?¡±

    Fang Jinshi said: "Which word willow is it? There is a Liujiazhuang near the east city gate of Yanzhou. It is said that he is a descendant of the royal family of the Han Dynasty." Feng Wandao: "It is the willow tree. It is said to be in the northwest of Yanzhou City.  And he should be a wealthy banker."

    Fang Jinshi smiled and said: "How rich can you be? Yanzhou City has been in war all year round, and the really rich people have fled long ago. Moreover, there is only Xiazhou Prefecture, an important town in Xixia, in the northwest of Yanzhou. I have never heard of a Liujiabao."

    Feng Wandao: "The customer your elder brother is seeing now is said to be the Fifth Young Master from Liujiabao in Yanzhou. Others call him Liu Fifth Young Master. This spring, he took the initiative to buy clothes and fabrics. Most of them were expensive and high-quality goods.  He never negotiated the price, and when he was taken away, he packed more than 80 cars. Jinxianzhuang didn't have enough goods, so your elder brother temporarily found some from his peers to get together. Finally, after totaling it, Mr. Liu Wu came to our Jinxianzhuang one time.  I bought 85,000 guan of goods."

    Fang Jinshi couldn't help but stop drinking tea and asked: "Is it Yanzhou Prefecture in the northwest? And is it the most expensive and best cloth? The northwest is bitter and cold and barren. How can ordinary people wear so many expensive and good clothes? If they do business and resell  , even a child knows that he will lose a lot of money. If he wears these eighty carts of high-quality cloth, how many people in their family can use this much, and it has only been half a year, and he comes to buy cloth again.  , this, this is really unreasonable.¡±

    Feng Wandao: "When an ordinary businessman meets such a big customer, he will smile happily and forget about other things. However, your eldest brother tried to get more information with him. Once when we were chatting about the Yellow River, Mr. Liu Wu said that Bonnie Dingbaihe  , later he changed his name to the Yellow River, and Bangni was definitely what the Xixia people called their country, and they also called the Yellow River the White River."

    Fang Jinshi said: "So, this Young Master Liu Wu is from Xixia?"

    Feng Wan said: "This is not necessarily true. If Mr. Liu really lived in the northwest for a long time, Yanzhou would be destroyed."Xia has been occupied for many years, and it is possible that the people nearby learned from the Xixia party members and called it Bonnie to establish the country. Most of the money paid by Master Liu Wu was Song money, and there was also a small amount of gold and silver. I  After careful inspection with your elder brother, one of the silver ingots is official silver cast by Xixia.  "

    Fang Jinshi lowered his head and pondered, feeling vaguely that this matter might not be simple, but he couldn't explain the reason. Feng Wan continued: "Xixia and I, the Song Dynasty, have been at war for many years. Your eldest brother feels that you can't just do business to make money, but also have multiple  With his heart in mind, he took the ingot of official silver and went to the Imperial City Department to inquire. The officials came to check and there was nothing suspicious. Your eldest brother also asked someone to ask. There is indeed a Liujia Fort in the northwest outside Yanzhou City, but this Liujia Fort  But the people inside can¡¯t observe it carefully.¡±

    Fang Jinshi waited for her to finish speaking, then stood up and said, "If Mr. Liu Wu only comes here to buy cloth, even if he buys more, as long as he pays in real money and silver, it really doesn't matter. Jinxianzhuang is just an ordinary cloth shop."  The village is open to do business, why are you afraid that customers will ask for more goods and more expensive goods? If it is to spy on military intelligence and make friends with officials, it is even more unreasonable. "

    Feng Wandao: "Not only did Mr. Liu Wu buy cloth, but he also bought some shuttle dyes for looms. It really looks like he wants to do cloth business in the northwest. The biggest official your eldest brother and I know is you. Is it possible?  Coming for you?¡±

    Fang Jinshi smiled and said: "Then Mr. Liu should go to Jiangnan to buy tea from me instead of wasting time here." Feng Wan said: "Yes, the most important request of Mr. Liu Wu is to see few strangers and only talk to you.  When my eldest brother discussed it, he kept silent even when I was present, and he never mentioned you coming.¡±

    Fang Jinshi said: "That's why you are here alone and let the eldest brother go to discuss it. Could it be that he is a friend that the eldest brother made when he was in the northwest?"

    Feng Wandao: "Your eldest brother said he didn't know him. At that time, he thought he was your friend in Yanzhou."

    Fang Jinshi sat down again and took a sip of tea: "This Young Master Liu Wu has a really strange identity and his business is weird. Maybe we are just too careful. He is just a rich young man who likes to buy more fabrics from the Central Plains."  Some of them are just rare and strange to us.¡±

    Feng Wan came over and said: "Actually, what I just said is not the main point. There is something even more unexpected that you can't think of. Come on, I will take you to see him."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Didn't he say he doesn't see strangers? What's the point?"

    Feng Wan took the tea cup from his hand and put it on the table: "Let's go upstairs and take a look at it from a distance, and also see how your vision is. You can see the important points yourself."

    Fang Jin Shi Qi said: "What kind of vision?"

    Feng Wan pushed him on the back, urged him to get up and said, "You'll know after seeing it, let's go."

    Fang Jinshi was confused and followed Feng Wan to the corridor on the second floor. Looking down from here, he had a panoramic view of the backyard. In the corner of the backyard, Jinxianzhuang built a small pavilion. The pavilion raised many flowers and plants, and nearby  Rockery and flowing water are a place of elegance.

    Standing outside the small pavilion was a very tall and strong man. Fang Jinshi compared it with the rockery and estimated that he could only reach the chest of this strong man at most. This strong man had hair the color of yellow dust and wore a  He wore a copper hoop to tie his hair, his arms and legs were twice as thick as those of ordinary people, and around his waist was a curved sword commonly used by the Khitan people.

    In the small pavilion, a thin old man stood against a pillar, carrying a baggage, and stood respectfully behind a young man in white. He should be a steward or something like that. A young man in white was sitting on a stone bench, talking to Shi Quan opposite him.  Carrying something, Shi Quan brought a boy with him. The stone table was covered with various kinds of fabrics. The boy still held some in his hands, and sometimes he would run back to the shop to get some more. It was obvious that the young man in white was discussing fabrics with Shi Quan and confirming the goods.

    This young man in white clothes is not tall. He is dressed in snow-white clothes. He wears a blue embroidered belt around his waist. There is a golden flute hanging in the belt. There is a red silk ribbon tied on the golden flute head. It seems that this young man is a  An elegant person.

    Sometimes the young man in white would take the cloth and stand up, facing the direction of the sun to check the light transmittance. Although there was no sun today, it seemed that this young man was an expert and knew something about cloth.

    They were far apart, so Fang Jinshi couldn't hear the content of their discussion, and couldn't see the young man's face clearly. The young man didn't turn around to face Fang Jinshi. Feng Wan watched Fang Jinshi look at him for a long time without saying anything.  So he asked: "How is it? Did you see anything?"

    Fang Jinshi looked at it for a while, then said: "It's too far away to be sure, but when my sister-in-law said this, I understood the point of what she said and what she wanted me to see."

    Feng Wan smiled and asked: "What is the point? Please tell me."

    "If we say that this Mr. Liu Wu" He paused deliberately before continuing, "if we say that this Mr. Liu Wu is a Miss Liu Wu", I will certainly not be surprised.  "

    As soon as he finished saying this, Feng Wan immediately said: "I just said, brother, you have been charging in the rouge pile all day long, and you can't even tell whether the person opposite is a man or a woman. I will look down on you, sister-in-law.  But you can see it from so far away, it¡¯s really amazing, I don¡¯t even want to admire you or not.¡±

    Fang Jinshi said: "That's not the case. I just looked at it from a distance and felt that Mr. Liu Wu was making subtle movements that some women like to use. More importantly, my sister-in-law specifically asked me to come up and see the key points. I guessed  It¡¯s mostly a guess.¡±

    Feng Wan smiled and said: "You are much better than your eldest brother in this regard. Your eldest brother talked to her for a long time. When I went back and told him that she was a woman, your eldest brother didn't believe it for a long time. But since she  If you recognize Young Master Liu, then we can treat her as a true Young Master."

    Fang Jinshi joked: "If I expose it, I'm afraid the business I got will be gone. She's been here once. Why has she never heard of Big Brother talking about it before? Are you afraid that I will steal your business?"

    Feng Wan also smiled and said: "Don't be afraid if your business is taken away. We are all one family. I am just afraid that you will target someone. Your eldest brother deliberately refused to tell you."

    Fang Jinshi instantly understood what Shi Quan was thinking. He was good at everything and Shi Quan was proud of him, but the only thing Shi Quan was afraid of was that he was too close to women.
