Xia Liuxing looked at the two of them back and forth and said, "Good, very good."
Then he said to Han Xiyi: "You are worthy of being a close friend.
They even have the same preference for women.
A few years ago, you lost to him in the fight for Miss Xie; now, you are attracted to Miss Guo, and he hurriedly broke off the engagement and came to join you again."
You fight for it.
Don't be too busy joining forces to deal with me, think about who will win in the end."
Fang Chu said: "You can still do evil if God does it, but you can't live if you do evil on your own."
His voice was calm, and he glanced at Han Xiyi after speaking.
Not angry, not explaining, not caring at all.
Han Xiyi smiled, nodded and said, "Don't worry."
They seemed to be communicating something else, and seemed to be in perfect agreement.
Xia Liuxing stared at them closely, looking for an opportunity to attack.
Very abruptly, he suddenly turned around and left without any harsh words or even a word of farewell, and quickly disappeared outside the courtyard gate.
The attendant quietly observed his expression, which was very serious.
Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials Because of the inequality of power.
Now these merchants dare to openly challenge the Xia family's authority.
Guo family, Shen family, Fang family, Han family, Yan family, who else is there?
When these people joined forces, Xia Liuxing had to be afraid.
Because they are not ordinary businessmen, they have the support of officials behind them.
But he won't give up After Xia Liuxing left, Fang Chu turned to Han Xiyi.
"Why did it come all of a sudden?"
he asked.
"I came as soon as I thought about it."
Han Xiyi smiled softly.
Fang Chu ordered the tea and fruits to be served, and then ordered the kitchen to prepare rice.
"Can I drink?"
Han Xiyi looked at his severed hand.
"You can drink it."
Fang Chu nodded and asked to bring the wine.
The two of them went to the study room and sat facing each other in silence, not even exchanging greetings.
Fortunately, I just had a cup of tea.
Chixin served the dish.
She was only responsible for tea and meals, and Yuan'er was waiting on her.
So the two of them stopped talking and toasted to each other.
After three glasses of wine, Han Xiyi's eyes felt wet.
"You have chopped off your hands and cannot play the piano.
I will play a song for you."
After saying that, without waiting for Fang Chu's consent, he took off the flute beside him.
Put it to your mouth and play.
Tonight.
They couldn't talk about Guo Qingya, nor Xie Yinyue, but Xia Liuxing didn't need to be discussed.
I had no choice but to drink, play the flute, and listen to music A very familiar song, first of all, flowers are not flowers: flowers are not flowers, mist is not mist This is a piece of music he composed based on poems, and Fang Chu has listened to it many times.
After one song, another song is played.
It is the far-off Altair: the golden wind and jade dew will defeat each other as soon as they meet.
There are countless people in the world This is the style of music performed by Guo Qingya, and Fang Chu is also very familiar with it.

Han Xiyi played more immersedly than ever before, and Fang Chu was immediately drawn into it, following his ups and downs of mood, sadness and joy; and feeling the past.
It's both real and illusory, and I can't tell the difference between the past and the present.
After the song ended, the two of them said nothing.
Another toast.
In fact, there is no need to say anything.
They each know what the other is thinking, and whatever they say is redundant and useless, so it is better to keep it.
Yuan'er stood aside and saw them drinking one cup after another, feeling worried.
He kept helping the two of them with vegetables and soup, fearing that they would hurt their stomachs.
On a winter night in the Qingyuan Garden, the bamboo forest was cold and the river was cold.
Only the study room of Yanyu Pavilion had a warm atmosphere.
A pair of teenagers performed their unexplainable friendship with fine wine and got very drunk.
The two drunk people finally broke the silence and laughed at each other.
Then they laughed at each other and blamed each other.
Then we shed tears and cried relative to each other.
Yuan'er didn't dare to stay any longer, so he retreated out of the house knowingly.
The two of them were tired from tossing, so they leaned over on the couch in the study and rested haphazardly.
There was no conversation all night, and the two of them didn't get up until noon the next day.
Yuan'er had already gone to Guo's house to deliver medicine and other supplies to Liu Xin, as if he didn't know anything about last night.
After Han Xiyi washed up, Fang Chu accompanied him to dinner and then said goodbye.
Fang Chu didn't hold him back and sent him on the boat.
After Han Xiyi got on the boat, he turned back and looked at Fang Chu on the shore, "No matter what, you shouldn't treat her like this.
I will never forgive you for this."
Fang Chu looked at him quietly without saying a word.
When the boat slowly left the shore, he said: "I did nothing wrong.
No one needs to forgive me."
The gentle voice, as hard as ice, reached Han Xiyi's ears without missing a word.
After saying that, he smiled lightly.
He was very satisfied that Han Xiyi could come to see him.
As for recognition, that’s too much.
Even for a former good friend, he wouldn't expect that.
As long as he has a clear conscience, he can face everything calmly.
Han Xiyi was silent, knowing that this could not be discussed, it was indeed good.
The boat gradually moved away, and the two of them were blurred in each other's eyes.
Fang Chu returned to the workshop and announced to everyone: At the end of the year, I will work with everyone, celebrate the New Year together, and celebrate together.
At the end of the year, the monthly silver will be doubled.
Everyone from the stewards to the craftsmen to the family members were very excited.
It swept away the dull busy situation and was both exciting and fulfilling. .
In the afternoon, Fang Chu stood on the mountain and looked at the landscape of Qingyuan, and his mood was particularly bright.
He will start from here to create another life The next day, Heishi received news from the city: Xia Liuxing was attacked on his way back and his boat capsized, but there were no casualties.
I don’t know who did it.
Fang Chu thought deeply after reading it.
Go through all the possible people and finally a face comes to mind.
He wrote a few words and released the homing pigeon.
Xia Liuxing was attacked, and Xia Zhizao's anger was understandable, but he did not take any action.
News came from the capital that he was impeached by the imperial censor and many officials.

He was strongly criticized for forcing Guo Zhinu to be his eldest son's concubine, saying that he "tried to control Zhinu with ulterior motives."
The emperor was furious and severely reprimanded.
As for Bao Changshi, he was found guilty of many illegal things by the Huzhou Procuratorate and could never come back.
This is because his involvement is too extensive and deep.
Someone has to protect him, otherwise the end will be unimaginable.
Therefore, Huzhou’s officialdom and shopping malls are surprisingly quiet around the end of the year.
Of course, it goes without saying that there are turbulent undercurrents in private.
After the Guo family vigorously slapped Xia Zhizao in the face, they did not encounter strong retaliation.
And because of the Yuci Archway, this year was more festive and grand than any previous year.
Guo Shouye announced to the village: Starting from the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month to the third day of the first lunar month, the Guo family will invite opera troupes from the city.
There are also jugglers and storytellers who come to the village to perform and tell stories for the neighbors to watch.
When the news came out, everyone in Green Bay Village went crazy with joy.
Some families even brought relatives to watch the show.
This is something to talk about later, let’s not mention it for now.
Let's talk about Yuan'er delivering something to Liu Xin, but Qingya finally ran into him and recognized him.
"It's you" she remembered Wei Han's words.
Could it be that Fang Chu was thinking this way when he asked him to come.
His face looked a little hesitant, "You were here yesterday, why did you change your appearance?"
Yuan'er replied: "I heard that the girl was very happy.
I wanted to come and see the excitement.
But I was afraid that the young master wouldn't let me, so I secretly begged Dr.
Liu to bring me here.
I wasn't afraid that the master and his wife would recognize him, so he changed his appearance.
Fortunately, he came. , It’s so exciting to see the Imperial Envoy for the first time in my life.
And I haven’t seen that archway before.
Also, the girl was so charming yesterday.” he said.
The light of joy in his eyes was even more glorious than being mute.
Qingya smiled, feeling that the reason was quite sufficient and he was sincere.
Yuan'er said again: "Miss Guo, we are compiling your sixth painting again.
I think some have screens in front, some have murals, but I don't know what else the girl wants.
Tell me to go back Let them do it, so as not to make something that the girl doesn't like and waste a good painting."
Qingya thought for a while.
He said, "Just bring me the painting, and I'll ask someone to do it myself."
Yuan'er said: "That's fine."
Seeing that he was still looking at her with a smile, Qingya felt that it was necessary to inquire about his master's injury and see what he said, so she asked, "How is your young master?"
Yuan'er nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, okay.
The injury on my hand is much better."
Then he took the initiative and said: "The young master said that he is no longer a young master.
He is busy here and there every day.
He gets up before dawn to exercise.
He also practices calligraphy and painting, but he can't play the piano.
He is very powerful and manages the entire Qingyuan.
I still had time, so I sent a steward out.
He opened shops in several places and planned everything carefully.
The young master said that he would start from scratch.

If his ancestors could create a family business, so could he.
He said that no matter what others say, he should just do his own thing.
To live, there are certain things that one must persist in.”
When people live, there are some things that we must persist in Qingya was a little surprised, wondering what he was insisting on.
She didn't feel like asking anymore, so she asked him to come in and sit down.
Yuan'er said hurriedly: "No, I'm going back.
I'm not really Dr.
Liu's apprentice.
I can't help here, and I'm just in the way.
Besides, the Chinese New Year is coming, and there are a lot of things at home."
Qingya felt relieved when she saw that he was very understanding and didn't say anything else.
She didn't hold him back and asked Ximei to pack some freshly made snacks for him to eat on the way.
"I made it for Yan Muyang to eat," she said.
Yuan'er accepted it happily, "Thank you very much, girl.
Then I'll go."
Then he said goodbye.
He didn't eat any of this snack, but gave it all to Fang Chu.
"Miss Guo made it.
Master, try it."
Put down the plate and leave.
Fang Chu smelled the fragrance of milk and suddenly felt hungry.
Besides, Yan Muyang was recuperating at Guo's house, and Guo Qin came to accompany him every day.
Qiaoer didn't avoid him as before, and often visited "Brother Muyang", so he was very comfortable.
The children talked about everything together, and Yan Muyang discovered that Qiaoer was really smart.
He knew many words without speaking.
He also learned painting, weaving, needlework, cooking skills from Aunt Guo, and even learned from Slim Waist.
He learned all the martial arts well, which surprised him.
If this continues, she will definitely be qualified as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yan family.
He was even worried that she was too good and would look down on him in the future.
No, he has to work hard Don't rush back and forth, only to get nothing in the end.
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Guo Shouye, Guo Daquan, and Guo Dagui handed over the affairs of the city's workshops to Qiu Yi's supervision and returned to Green Bay Village to celebrate the New Year.
Yan Jipeng is accompanying him.
He is here to pick up his grandson and give New Year's gifts to the Guo family.
The New Year's gifts include local products from the north and south, dried and fresh fruits, delicacies from mountains and seas, as well as various brocades and satins produced by the Yan family, which are enough to fill half a boat.
Unloading and changing boats at Green Bay Dam, it took seven or eight boats to finish loading.
Guo Shouye was speechless and said, "Master Yan, I can't afford to return this gift."
Making everyone laugh.
Yan Jipeng smiled and said: "No need to reply.
I gave this to Miss Guo."
He wished he could get married to the Guo family right now, but it was a pity that the Guo family didn't pay attention to rules.
His granddaughter even tore off his grandson's pants, and still refused to get married.
Guo Shouye also agreed with the marriage in his heart, not only because Yan Muyang was a good child, but also for the sake of his granddaughter's reputation.
Of course he was not unruly, but he just couldn't help it.
Therefore, after arriving home, he asked Guo Qin to take Qiaoer and Guo Jian out to present Yan Jipeng.
Qiao'er has learned a lot of etiquette.

She is very well-behaved in front of others, has a sweet mouth, and is smart.
After a few questions and answers, Yan Jipeng was very happy.
I was even more happy to see that Yan Muyang and the Guo family brothers and sisters were getting along very well.
He couldn't help but think unkindly: This sheep can be trampled well.
Because he praised Guo Shouye: "Brother Guo, you are such a good granddaughter, I like it."
Guo Shouye's face was full of glory after hearing this, and he said modestly: "Even if she is naughty, don't look at her being good now.
She is also annoying when she is naughty."
This is his intention: to provide a foundation first, so that if there is any mistake later, he can be smoothed over Said: If you just brag about yourself, there will be no room for mistakes.
Yan Jipeng smiled and said: "No matter how old she is, she can't compare to my Weiyang."
Yan Weiyang said angrily: "Dad" Qingya also smiled.
These days, she heard Yan Weiyang talk about many things from her childhood.
After chatting and joking for a while, Yan Jipeng took his daughter and grandson to tell the story and went home to celebrate the New Year.
The Guo family also prepared many return gifts for the Yan family.
Although they were not as good as those from the Yan family, they were still thoughtful.
In the afternoon, the Guo family and his son called Qingya to settle the year-end accounts.
This time Guo Shouye brought back 80,000 cash.
"The usage fees from various places are 30,000 yuan.
Some of them haven't opened yet and will be available after the new year.
There are nearly 20 stores, some worth a few hundred dollars, some thousands, totaling more than 30,000 yuan."
Guo Daquan told Qingya his various incomes one by one, and asked Guo Qin to calculate them.
Royalty fee refers to Guojia cotton patent royalties.
Due to the impact of Jiang Minghui's case, the implementation of this plan was slow, and it was not until mid-September that contracts were signed with selected merchants.
But even so, the year-end settlement income is still considerable.
After reading it all, Qingya nodded to confirm.
There are also more than 100,000 yuan in payments for palace and official use, and they have all been checked.
She asked: "How can I get so much cash back?"
Guo Daquan explained: "Our business is not small now.
It would be impossible if we don't have cash at home.
If we tell you to use it, what to do if you can't get it out?
The bank account is not necessarily accurate, and there are times when it is lost.
Who among those aristocratic families It’s not about saving hundreds of thousands of money in case of emergency.”
Only then did Qingya understand.
Over there, Guo Shouye asked Guo Qin: "How many are there in November?"
Guo Qin glanced at the abacus and said: "One hundred and twenty-nine thousand, three hundred and fifty-five taels."
Guo Shouye nodded "Yeah" and then said, "Let's do the math separately in the city and at home."
Guo Qin became busy again, scanning the account books and abacus with his eyes.
Qingya discovered that he was extremely keen on numbers, and could almost remember them at a glance; he was also very fast in calculations, and he could already calculate the results in his mind without even waiting for his hands to pull out the numbers on the abacus.
She strongly suspected that he was stimulated by the money.
Because this kid looks at money so brightly She was worried and asked her eldest brother: "Qin'er is still young, so I'm afraid of delaying his studies by asking him to do this."
Guo Daquan said: "You are still young and you didn't ask Miss Yan.
They have been practicing with their elders since they were young.
Otherwise, why would they be Shaodong in charge of business when they were teenagers?
Apart from you, he knows more words in the family.
If you don't force him, who will blame him?"
Even if he can do it, look, it’s not bad.”

Guo Shouye also said: "It's time to learn.
Qiao'er will come in two years."
No wonder dad and eldest brother specially asked Guo Qin to help.
Qingya was speechless.
Shaodong was trained like this, she is far behind Guo Qin calculated all the accounts and put the money into the treasury.
He became more energetic and ordered his subordinates to place them in order, very decisively.
Sorry friends, it's late again.
If the update is after ten o'clock on any day, don't wait and watch it the next day.
Girls, don’t stay up late.
