Lin Fu walked to the backyard, stretched out his hand to hold up the chin of an eyeliner, looked at the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, stared into his eyes and asked: "I only offended Du Rong from Qingfengxing in Jiangning, are you sent by Qingfengxing?"

of?"

These two informants were indeed sent by Du Rong to monitor Su Mei's apartment in Baiyuan on Dustpan Lane. They saw that someone had moved into the house behind Baiyuan today, so they stopped by to take a look. They had no other intention.

Knowing this, Zhou Pu grabbed him from behind and struggled to free himself. What they didn't expect was that this family happened to have issues with Qing Fengxing and the big shopkeeper Du Rong. They couldn't even try to excuse themselves, so they were dragged away.

I went to the backyard and got a beating.

"Master, you have wronged me! I really don't have any bad intentions. I saw Master asked Qian Xiaowu to take money to the East Market to help Tian buy things. I was just jealous of the rewards, so I came over to see if there were any others.

You can do some idle work as a helper. You have to be a little malicious. If there is a thunderbolt from the sky, your son will be born without a butt/eye..." When these two men were first dragged in, their mouths were still stiff. They were given to Zhou Pu and Zhao Hu and were pressed down in the yard.

After a dull beating, they became more honest. At this time, they were also afraid that if Lin Fu came in, he would really break their legs and send them to the government. It would be nothing to send them to the government. If they broke their legs, they would be useless in this life. They said in a panic

I took a poisonous oath to prove my innocence, but I really don’t know the origin of this family. The three evil servants are as fierce as tigers and wolves regardless of their age. They just want to escape quickly. Even if they are sent to the government, it is better than being trapped here.

He begged in a mournful voice, "If there is no help, the young master would let me go. If I had known this, I would have been beaten to death by not looking around at the door. I know I was wrong. I really don't know Qingfeng."

Okay, I don’t know what the quarrel between you and Qingfengxing is..."

"Do you think I'm so easy to fool?" Lin Fu said coldly, "If you don't want to tell me, forget it. I will meet Du Rong someday." He then ordered Zhou Pu, "beat him up and throw him out. Next time

If you see these two sneaking around in the alley again, don't show mercy if you break their legs..." After saying that, he walked away.

Talking about breaking their legs was just a verbal threat to these two people.

Although he and Du Rong broke up and vowed not to be at odds with each other, Lin Fu would not escalate the fight to a bloody confrontation immediately. As a well-known business in Jiangning city, Qingfeng Hang was backed by the She family, and Du Rong controlled the business in Jiangning.

The potential force is not too weak. Last time I saw Du Rong’s entourage in Baisha County, all of them were strong and healthy. These people usually dispersed to serve as escorts for Qingfeng’s caravans and ships, so they gathered together

It is an elite force that cannot be underestimated. To engage in a bloody confrontation with Du Rong now will undoubtedly be to kill an egg with a stone, so the intensity of the confrontation must be skillfully controlled, not only to constantly provoke this guy, but also to avoid over-provocation that will cause Du Rong to jump over the wall.

.

Zhou Pu beat up the two informants and threw them into the alley. Lin Fu stood in front of the house and watched them limping away. It was already dark, and most of the houses in the alley had lanterns hung in front of their houses, which was dim.

The light was floating in the alley, and some people poked their heads out to take a look. Zhou Pu's attack was measured, and the two eyeliners were not seriously injured. However, they couldn't help but hurt when they were beaten, and they whined like dogs, which could be heard by others.

At this time, Liu Yue'er poked her head out from behind the hanging flower door and asked, "You didn't really break someone's feet, did you?" She gently covered her swollen chest with her hands. Under the soft red light of the lantern, her face was glowing.

She had a healthy glow, her skin was as bright as snow, and she had a slight blush, but there was also worry that could not be concealed. Even after asking this question, her eyes were afraid to look at Lin Fu, and her long eyelashes danced under the light.

She knew very little about Lin Fu, so she had no objection when Gu forced her to live with Lin Fu. Firstly, she didn’t want to offend Gu and stay in the Gu family, and she didn’t want to be a concubine for Gu Wuchen, an old man with half a hundred years old.

I heard that Lin Fu is a cowardly person, so he may be safer. At present, the rumors seem to be very unreliable. At this time, instead of worrying about those two people breaking their legs, she is more worried that Lin Fu is a cruel person.

A ruthless person. When you work as a servant, you are afraid of meeting such a master. Besides, Liu Yue'er also knows that her face is really a source of trouble.

"No, I am a scholar after all. Why would I break someone's legs? I just wanted to scare people..." Lin Fu smiled and asked Zhao Hu to close the door of the house and asked Liu Yuer, "Have dinner been ready?"

My stomach is almost starving."

"I'm shocked. Why didn't I see that you were faking just now?" Liu Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief and her heart returned to its original place. She felt that Lin Fu's smile under the light of the lantern was quite bright, and it didn't look cruel at all.

The man said, "There are some cooked foods, which are edible. I'll make some soup..." He turned to leave, but suddenly remembered something, "The helper I asked to go shopping hasn't arrived yet."

return?"

Listening to the words of the two informants, the young man's name was Qian Xiaowu. Lin Fu babbled and said, "Maybe I went too late and it's hard to buy things." Then he laughed at Zhou Pu, Zhao Hu and the others, "This bad servant has a reputation.

It will take a few days to spread the word, so don’t be anxious.”

**********************

After dinner, Liu Yue'er put away the dishes back to the backyard, and the fourth lady came over.

The fourth lady did not go through the house gate, but came directly through the wall.

After dinner, Lin Fu told Zhou Pu and others that he wanted to give the house an elegant name, just like there was a cypress tree that had grown for hundreds of years in the garden of Su Mei's apartment, so it was named Baiyuan. Almost everyone in Jiangning knew it.

, took the pen and ink, Lin Fu wrote the three words "Jiyunju" on the rice paper as white as silk, and handed it to Zhao Hu: "If you have time, find someone to make a gold-plated flat forehead to hang on the door of the house----I will do it."

Something needs to be done with a name. Du Rong is Qingfengxing’s wealthy owner. If we want to fight him, our momentum cannot be weakened..."

Hearing the strange noise in the yard, Zhou Pu and Zhao Hu went to open the door cautiously, and saw the fourth lady jumping down from the ridge of the wall wearing a flowered coat.

There is another house separated from Baiyuan here, and the fourth lady walked over from the ridge of the wall, as light as a cat.

"Miss Su Mei wants to see Mr. Lin. She is in the back garden, and all the idlers have been sent away..."

"Okay, I'll walk up the wall with you." Lin Fu also wanted to see Su Mei earlier. He missed it a little, but more importantly, he wanted to make plans as soon as possible for what he was going to do in the future.

"Can you do it?" Zhao Hu knew that the fourth lady's skills were small, and he himself could not walk lightly and silently on the wall. There was a house separated from Baiyuan. It would be bad if Lin Fu alerted this house with his clumsiness.

Zhou Pu went out to inquire about it before dark. The house in front of him was left by the former Tongpan of Hailing Prefecture. The old Tongpan had passed away. The eldest son didn’t have much future, so he just guarded several hundred acres of land in the countryside and used this house as an apartment.

The house is much larger than here, and the interior is dilapidated. The couple has a son. In addition to the old man who cares for the door, there is also a middle-aged couple who serve as servants. They seem to be in a bit of poverty and embarrassment.

Lantern, the sky is a little overcast, and not much light shines on the wall.

Lin Fu knew that it would take some time for his fighting and close-quarters combat to return to its original level. After all, excellent physical fitness could not be achieved overnight. Walking quietly across the ridge of the wall was not a problem for Lin Fu now.

It was so difficult that he lifted up his robe and tied it around his waist, stepped on the flower bed with his feet, put his hands on the ridge of the wall, turned over and squatted on the ridge of the wall, as short as a cat, turned around and said to the fourth lady under the wall: "Let's go there

Bar……"

The fourth lady was a little surprised, but without saying anything, she followed up the ridge of the wall and walked towards the Baiyuan.

Su Mei and Xiaoman were in the garden and heard small sounds on the wall, like a cat stepping on them. They picked up a lantern and walked over, calling in a low voice: "Mr. Lin?"

"It's me." Lin Fu jumped down from the top of the wall. Su Mei had already walked to the foot of the wall. Xiao Man followed behind with a lantern. Unexpectedly, the two of them were so close. What came into Lin Fu's eyes was the kind of person who was dazzled by the fire.

The crystal clear and beautiful face, the eyes inlaid with stars exude a deep and blurred look, and I feel that this face is extremely beautiful. The eyes are extremely charming, and there is a faint fragrance that blows into my nose.

When he first saw Su Mei, Lin Fu was slightly stunned, as if he was suddenly charmed and forgot to say anything else. Su Mei also looked forward to Lin Fu day and night, watching him jump down from the wall, watching him so fascinated.

Looking at myself, my heart was shaken. I didn't realize that the two of them were so close. His breath hit my forehead, and I felt a little confused.

"Pfft... I'm stunned again!" Xiaoman stood behind Su Mei holding a lantern and saw the expression on Lin Fu's face clearly, and couldn't help laughing.

"Oh," Lin Fu came to his senses and asked Su Mei seriously, "How are you these days?"

"Yeah." Su Mei felt her face getting slightly hot and replied softly.

"You guys discuss things, I'll go to the moon gate and watch..." The Fourth Lady said as she got down from the wall. She took the lantern away from Xiao Man and let Lin Fu and Su Mei talk quietly in the dark, even if others bumped into them accidentally.

Even in the garden, they will not be found.

Lin Fu adapted to the dark light and saw Su Mei wearing an embroidered daisy skirt with a goose-yellow waistband. Pingting looked over at her, walked to the pavilion with her and sat down, detailing what happened during his return to Shiliang County.

Tell Su Mei.

"What are your plans?" Su Mei asked.

"To rescue Changshan Island, we must have cover in Jiangning; to fight Du Rong, our current strength is still very weak and we need to accumulate strength." Lin Fu thought for a while but still did not ask what happened ten years ago. Who were she and Qin Chengzu?

What is the relationship? He told his initial plan, "I plan to build a business in Jiangning first. By building a business, I will have a name to gather people. After Wu Wu and the others have cleared their identities in Shiliang County in a while, they can buy the business."

Merchant ships trade on the waterway from Chongzhou to Jiangning. As long as this is available, it will be convenient for goods or people to travel from Chongzhou to Changshan Island... I have already thought of the name of the business name, 'Jiyunshe', what do you think?

?”

"Well, there are no flattering words, and it's not tacky. I like it too," Su Mei said. "You also said that you want to be born in Jiangning. What are your plans?"

"Looking for an official position is just a cover. After Gu Wuchen comes to the city, I will shamelessly ask him to see if there are any free positions in the Inspectorate Department that are cheap," Lin Fu said.

"Alas," Su Mei sighed slightly, "it will delay your career and make Su Mei feel uneasy..."

"Miss Su, you don't have to say that," Lin Fu said, "Everyone says, 'Read the books of sages and sell them to the emperor's family.'

Isn’t it the work of smart people?”

"Why?" Su Mei asked doubtfully.

"Brother Lin, the lady said that you are full of talents, and only through your official career can you benefit the people..." Xiaoman, who had been sitting quietly aside, interjected softly.

Although Su Mei felt a little embarrassed that Xiaoman said what she said in private, she did not deny it out loud.

"As the saying goes, the poor can only take care of themselves, but the talented can help the world - I am a poor scholar, and I have no ambition to benefit the people at this time," Lin Fu said, "I was born as a solitary leaf, and right now I only think about...

Find some support in the world, and I will not stand by and watch what happens between you and Xiaoman."

"Ah!" Su Mei only thought that Lin Fu's words were a show of affection. Her heart was shaken when she heard this, and she wanted to politely refuse, but she was afraid of hurting his heart. Besides, she heard that Lin Fu treated her and Xiaoman as human beings.

I was looking for support, and I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. I was stunned there, not knowing what to say, my face was a little hot, and my ears were red when I thought about it. Fortunately, I was in the dark, so I didn't worry about giving Lin Bie a chance.

see.

But Xiaoman exclaimed: "How can you say such things in front of me? It's so embarrassing? Miss is your support, Xiaoman is just an insignificant maid."

"Uh," Lin Fu then realized that Su Mei and Xiao Man had misunderstood. What he said was truly inspired. His soul traveled through time and space from a thousand years later, and he always had a vague feeling about this time and space that was separated by a layer of veil.

Only Su Mei, Xiao Man, and perhaps the Seventh Lady gave him the real feeling of living in this time and space. For him at this time, this sense of reality was more important than anything else. Few people wanted to be trapped in a dream.

Lin Fu didn't explain what he just said. The more he explained, the more unclear he became. He said: "I have thought about whether to join the officialdom. The Dai Viet Dynasty has been in existence for thirteen generations and more than two hundred years. I don't know what others are saying.

What do you think? In my eyes, Vietnam's sluggishness has been accumulated for a long time. It is like a skin that is leaking through the bottom and is difficult to repair. Even the officialdom is also tired and has many shortcomings. Not to mention using talents to benefit the country.

People, save the people from fire and water, just be afraid, no one will be able to extricate themselves if they fall into it..."

"..." Su Mei used the faint nightlight to look at Lin Fu's somewhat blurry profile. She wanted to get closer to see more clearly, but gave up and said after a while, "I have also saved some money privately in the past two years.
To be continued...
