The tea sheds were in rotation. Today, Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He went home to sleep. After dinner at the tea shed, they made some dishes for tomorrow, and Xu He and Zhang Fangyuan went back by scooter.

The moonlight was clear, Xu He was leaning on the cart, and the cart was shaking, he felt a little nauseated, turned slightly to see the person next to him, and the corner of his mouth was slightly raised as he was driving the horse.

Xu He didn't want to ask him too much about where he went and what he did in the city, and anyone would be annoyed if he didn't care too much about it. Besides, he felt that Zhang Fangyuan would not be like that. This is the case in reason, but in his heart he doesn't ask and is bored. If there is such a thing, what should he do if he goes to get a flower house and comes back.

Thinking about it, it turned out to be even worse, and I felt panicked for no reason.

He stretched out his hand to touch the back of the hand of the person beside him, and before he could open his mouth, someone grabbed his hand: "Is it cold in the wind blowing on the carriage at night?"

Before Xu He could say whether it was cold or not, Zhang Fangyuan's slightly bulging arms pulled him to his body, letting him lean against his chest.

Xu He smelled a faint fragrance on the man, like the fragrance of flowers in the wind on the fence at the corner of the wall. This kind of fragrance seems a bit out of place on a rough and fierce man, but this does not hinder the good smell, and it makes the man become Some tenderness.

The boredom in his heart was soothed a bit, and he didn't struggle, so he leaned against Zhang Fangyuan's intention.

The night breeze is slight, and the moon and stars are rare. It's August, and the weather is still very hot during the day, and the villagers are busy breaking corn cobs, and it's another busy season for farming.

Sow in spring, harvest in autumn, every year.

Zhang Fangyuan was driving the carriage with one hand, and the person in his arms was so cute that he couldn't help turning his head to look at it.

Xu He's eyelashes drooped slightly, his face under the moonlight was white and smooth, his shoulders were loose, and he snuggled up to him like a kitten.

On weekdays, Xu He was withdrawn and capable, and he seldom spoke soft words. In the past, the two lived together and just got married, so they were quite tired. When they had nothing to do, they would hold hands and hug each other, and then they were busy with the tea shed, and the two of them rarely went to the city together.

Although he has never been bored, it doesn't mean that Zhang Fangyuan doesn't want to be with him. The most important thing is that he sees that Xu He is career-minded, and he always seems to be idle and bored, so he wants to find something to do.

After getting busy, each of them is really busy.

"I seem to be a little cold."

Zhang Fangyuan paused slightly when he heard the words, and then hugged him tighter: "I saw that you were a little sleepy when you were having dinner, are you too tired or uncomfortable?"

"I'm not tired." In the past, during the busy autumn harvest season, he got up every day, and everyone had to rush to take back the mature crops in the field. The corn is torn off its coat one by one, broken off, put in the yard to dry, and then the corn is peeled off the cob into grains, then dried, and stored in the warehouse.

Don't dare to rest, it's time to harvest rice after this round of work, which is similar to corn. If you don't rush to work, the over-ripe crops will fall, and you are afraid that the weather will be bad and there will be heavy rains, so the crops will not dry or get moldy if they are damp.

At that time, when the people from the government came to collect the land tax, they would be in a state of distress.

This year, the family didn't have any crops, so they turned out to do business. Although they had to get up early and stay late, they were busy entertaining guests during the day, and they had to prepare the next day's food at night, but they didn't have to go to the ground to dry their skin and flesh.

Life has been much better. But he felt bored, it had been a few days, he was worried that the tea shed would lose money, the weather might be hot and he might suffer from heat stroke, but today... Sure enough, people should not be too idle.

Zhang Fangyuan felt a little lazy in his voice, and said he was not tired. When he wanted to pinch Xu He's soft side face under the moonlight, Xu He moved his eyes: "Is there enough money recently?"

"It's enough, you've given so much."

"Hmm." Xu He thought for a while: "Then have you bought anything recently?"

Zhang Fangyuan kept silent carefully, as if Xu He had often said in his ear before that he was already used to not spending money casually. He obviously had money in his pocket, but subconsciously thought that he had no money.

"did not buy."

"Then... did you go somewhere to play?"

Zhang Fangyuan laughed: "I'm not a child, what kind of silly things are you asking? Besides, I'm guarding the shop, where can I go to play?"

Xu He looked at him for a long time. Forget it, he believed him.

"I see."

Zhang Fangyuan felt that Xu He was a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he teased him, and leaned forward to kiss the bridge of his nose.

Xu He didn't struggle, but felt that the bridge of his nose was soft and a little itchy. He only looked at people with a pair of black and white eyes, but looked at Zhang Fangyuan a little embarrassed.

Zhang Fangyuan withdrew his hand and scratched the back of his head, just at this time it was time to go off the official road and go to the village, which relieved his embarrassment.

"What's wrong?"

"Huh?" Zhang Fangyuan glanced back at Xu He: "What's wrong?"

Xu He didn't answer his question. It was already a little late today, and even people in the village usually worked overtime at night to harvest the crops, and they all returned home at this time.

The two fell into silence, and the sound of insects and frogs that Ban Xia was familiar with was heard around them.

There is no one around: "Why don't you kiss."

Xu He was thinking about it, and after a while, he suddenly felt that Zhang Fangyuan was staring at him, his eyes suddenly enlarged, and his face burned violently in an instant.

He subconsciously wanted to turn his face away, but the man's hand blocked the way before him, and soon he was wrapped in a heavy breath, and there was a warm and eager touch on his lips...

Zhang Fangyuan supported the waist of the person beside him. In fact, he rarely kissed Xu He except on the bed. His lips are slightly cool, but his mouth is warm. This feeling is no less than being in bed with him. Even though kissing is much easier than going to bed, he always feels that such a good thing cannot happen casually.

So many times when he was happy or liked Xu He from the bottom of his heart, he would only hold his hand, or hug him, or at most kiss him on the face.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that every time Xu He just talked about telling him not to do this outside, it would make people feel like a prodigal son, but in fact he said it after the fact, and he didn't resist when it happened .

Perhaps, he should like himself to be so close to him.

He didn't let go until the person in his arms was a little out of breath, and then kissed his red lips gently. Xu He's two legs hanging out of the cart had long been weak, and now they were leaning between Zhang Fangyuan's broad shoulders and arms like a young animal.

He felt that he must be like a sun-softened cowpea now, soft and resilient, even if it was wrapped around his arm.

In his reverie, he suddenly buried himself in Zhang Fangyuan's arms and laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

Zhang Fangyuan pulled the person with trembling shoulders out of his arms. He was not very confident because of certain things when he was just married before, but now this reaction is too shocking.

"Am I not good?"

"Okay." Xu He blushed.

"Then still laughing?"

"I'm just laughing at myself." Xu He pursed his lips, the corners of his eyes were curved, his eyes were big, even if he laughed hard, his eyes would not close up, but his pupils were like blooming flowers: "I'm a little weak in my legs. "

Zhang Fangyuan was suddenly pleased, and his mouth twisted.

Xiao Hei dragged the two of them into the yard. He didn't wait for Xu He to come down. Brother Zhang was in a very good mood today, and Xiao He was treated well. Instead of being carried directly on his shoulders, he was carried into the house.

The next day, when Xu He woke up, Zhang Fangyuan had already gone to the city to go out to a stall, and the morning breeze was blowing on his face. He swept away the discomfort from yesterday, and felt very energetic, so he went to the tea shed after a simple meal at home .

In the morning, there were many people passing by on the official road, and most of them came to prepare dry food.

When Xu He arrived, he saw a lot of villagers gathered in the open space beside the tea shed. Some of the floors were covered with two banana leaves, and some were covered with a piece of cloth. , such as the rope for the back basket, the dustpan for the chicken coop, etc., in short, they are all things used by farmers.

It suddenly occurred to me that on the seventh day of every month, villagers from nearby villages would come here to set up stalls, selling small things or bartering.

Xu He said that he should come here earlier, every seventh day is lively, since Zhang Fangyuan has been bringing some sauce, wine, and some ingredients back to the tea shed, their tea shed is now the same as someone who can eat and drink Like a grocery store for shopping, their business is the best when they set up a stall.

Entering the tea shed, there were unexpectedly five or six people eating and resting in the room, and Zhang Shiyue and Xiao'e were busy preparing biscuits in the kitchen.

"Come here?"

Xu He said: "There are so many guests here this morning. It's strange, I'm afraid they are not from the surrounding villages."

Zhang Shiyue said with a smile: "I heard that it was a peddler who came from Suzhou. When the tea shed was opened earlier, a peddler ate and prepared dry food with us. He said that we prepared a lot of dry food at a reasonable price, so they gathered together. here."

Xu He smiled slightly, that is to say, if you do business in a down-to-earth manner, someone will always remember it well, and whoever said that the tea shed passing by will not be able to return business.

"Let me come, Second Aunt goes out to greet people."

"Okay." Zhang Shiyue went out to attract customers, and brought the villagers what they had in the tea shed. For a while, this one wanted to buy some wine, and the other wanted to buy some sauce, and some wanted to buy candles.

From time to time, people would come in and ask for a bowl of water, and Xu He was willing to do so. As long as it wasn't tea for sale, it didn't hurt to drink some water.

A busy morning passed, and it was not until after noon that I was free.

"Sister-in-law, I'm busy."

After dinner in the afternoon, there were only three or two idlers in the tea shed drinking tea and resting their feet, and the people who were steamed by the sun were drowsy. Xu He had just had lunch and was cleaning the table when he heard a very unfamiliar address.

He straightened up and looked up, and it turned out to be Ao Er from the village. This kid often hangs out in the city, but in fact he seldom haunts the village. If Zhang Fangyuan hadn't mentioned it when he came to the tea shed that day, he wouldn't have much impression.

"Well, do you want to eat or drink?"

Ao Eryi sat down on the pergola outside, the wind was lingering, and he was sweating all over when he walked over, it was much cooler now. He looked around, as if Zhang Fangyuan wasn't there, so he felt more relaxed. During the busy farming season, he didn't want to farm at home, so he wanted Fang'er to go outside to escape.

"Sister-in-law, let's cook something and drink a little wine."

"it is good."

Xu He is not afraid of this little bastard, but with a big **** like Zhang Fangyuan, he dares to turn the world upside down.

Ao Er watched Xu He go in, lying on the table drinking tea, he felt that this side was really not worse than in the city, the food tasted good, and it was cool, he could stay all afternoon, so when he went back, his father wanted to beat him I also said that I didn't go to the city anyway.

Not long after, Xu He came out with a plate of stir-fried meat with celery, and ate it hungrily outside.

While Xu He was picking vegetables, he glanced at Ao a couple of times, then went into the room and took out a small plate of melon seeds and put them on the table.

Ao Er followed his hand and raised his head to look at Xu He.

"I'm chatting with you." Xu He pushed the melon seeds forward: "I'll give you something to eat."

Bo Er swallowed the food in one gulp: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I didn't tell you, I really don't know anything about Brother Zhang."

Xu He has never read a book, but he has also heard the saying that there is no silver three hundred taels here, and the way he looks at Ao Er at this moment is completely interpreting this sentence.

"You said that before I opened my mouth, because I'm afraid that others won't know if he has something to do?"

Bo Er let out a dry cough.

"I will definitely not ask about him." Xu He sat down opposite Ao Er: "Don't worry."

Ao Er raised his head and glanced at Xu He. Although the two were from the same village, they didn't have much contact with each other. After a closer look, he found that Xu He was quite good-looking, with big eyes and a high nose bridge, and a good figure. . Sure enough, he is Xu Shaochun's younger brother, he looks good, no wonder Zhang Fangyuan will marry him back home.

It's more acceptable to talk to someone with good looks: "That's it, I don't dare to talk nonsense about Brother Zhang."

Xu He buried his head and continued to pick vegetables, as if chatting: "Have you been to Hualou?"

Ao Erwei was surprised, but thought it was nothing more than just asking him.

"Hey." Speaking of this, he immediately got excited, pointed at himself with a thumbs up, and said brazenly: "Regular customer, I just went to drink for a night not long ago, and the people in the flower building invited the younger ones the next day." Grandpa drank the water and sent it out."

"What's the point of drinking all day long?" Xu He didn't say yes or no when he heard the words, and asked again: "Then you men like to go so much?"

"That's for sure. Who wouldn't want to go there, girls and boys are good-looking, good wine and food, music and dance, can make noise until dawn, even a man... Well, there is a word called lingering."

Bo Er said brightly: "There are only two kinds of men in this world, one is those who have never been to Hualou, and the other is those who have been to countless times. Those who have never been, probably have no money, and those who have gone are all Want to go again."

When Xu He became a pro, he wouldn't be so stupid as to say that there is nothing to do if he just eats and drinks.

"It's so good, it should cost a lot of money there, right?"

"Isn't it!" Ao Er snapped his fingers: "Drinking costs money, eating vegetables costs money, watching music costs money, making girls and brothers cost money, even if you step into that threshold, you have to spend money! Ordinary people can spend money. I can't bear it, people go in at the time of Xu, but the house is not available at the time of Hai."

When Xu He heard this, he frowned and laughed.

"Sister-in-law doesn't believe it?"

"Trust." Xu He said again: "Then you have seen the top oiran?"

"Why haven't I seen it before? That appearance is like snow, and her figure is enchanting. Even standing from a distance makes people feel ecstasy." Ao Er swallowed subconsciously when he thought of Yin Jiuniang.

"Then how much will it cost if you invite the top oiran to accompany you?"

"Well, it depends on the situation. The top oiran is not something that ordinary people can see when they want to. Like ordinary rich people, even if they want to invite the oiran to accompany them, they may not be rewarded with face. , Naturally, if you really give a lot, like the members of the city who often make hundreds of taels, then you can still make an exception."

"They carry it so high?"

"That's not it."

When Xu He heard this, his heart was even more appropriate, since that was the case, then there was no one who would not believe him. Sure enough, it was right to believe him.

"Okay. You have a drink, I'm going to work."

"Don't, sister-in-law." Ao Er was talking about the excitement, Xu He didn't listen to it, it was so boring, he wanted to hold someone's arm and talk for a while, so he pointed to Zhang Fangyuan and boasted: "Everything has exceptions, like Brother Zhang Go, those girls will pay you back and won’t charge you.”

Hearing this, Xu He really sat down again.

Ao Er felt that flattering was in the right place: "Really, those girls and boys in flower houses are not like women from good families. They have seen countless people. Who are the people who pay to find them? Master, raising a young master like a scholar with rusty bones and weak bones in the silver nest, how can they be satisfied."

Ao Er laughed and said: "They just like Brother Zhang who is young and strong, and he is not easy to mess with at first sight."

Xu He remembered that Zhang Fangyuan had said a few words to him earlier, it was just bragging, and he didn't take it to heart.

Now there are only three words in my mind: Mistake.

Suddenly he was a little angry.

Ao Er didn't know why, and seemed to realize something again, so he quickly covered his mouth. Seeing that Xu He stood up without saying a word, he became like the withdrawn person in the mouth of the villagers again. After thinking about saying something to remedy it, Xu He turned and walked back.

"Sister-in-law, I knew you wouldn't take it to heart..."

Xu He took the plate of sunflower seeds away.

"Hey, hey!"

Ao Er slapped his thigh hard.

I didn't leave after two afternoons, I was drowsy outside with the wind blowing under the shade of the trees, and I met three or two men waiting for others. They sat around a table and played dice all afternoon. Fangyuan will not let people gamble here, so they play very small, and the wins and losses are not big.

After the man left, Ao Er didn't see Xu He come out to chat with him again, and he didn't dare to talk to others, and he had to go back to Zhang Fangyuan to accuse him of being unlucky. It can be seen from this situation that if Xu He quarrels with Zhang Fangyuan because of Hualou, if Zhang Fangyuan finds out who leaked the truth, then he will be out of luck.

that worry~

Later, when the sun was about to set, Zhang Fangyuan came back with the carriage.

After waiting for the National People's Congress for half a day, I immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

Zhang Fangyuan jumped down from the carriage, and was about to call Xu He cheerfully with a heavy burden on his shoulders. When he saw that it was Bo Er who was rushing towards him, he was obviously upset: "What are you doing here again, kid?" ?”

"Have some wine."

Zhang Fangyuan was in a good mood, he didn't want to talk to him, so he just left people and wanted to go into the house.

"Brother, brother! I told you something."

Zhang Fangyuan was impatient: "I have something to say to you."

Ao Er whispered: "It's about you visiting the brothel."

Zhang Fangyuan stopped walking immediately, and gave Ao Er a very warning look: "It's best to think clearly before speaking."

Ao Er was sweating and pulled Zhang Fangyuan aside: "I passed by the village when I went out today, and I heard those gossiping women in the village talking about my brother's visits to brothels from afar, so I thought it was my real brother's. They definitely don’t dare to say anything nonsense, but I’m sure my sister-in-law will know. I’m just waiting for my brother to come back and let me know, otherwise, I’ll misunderstand and think it’s me who said it.”

Zhang Fangyuan frowned: "What kind of mother is meddling in her own business."

"Who knows, people come and go in the city, and when they see it, they will talk about it when they come back. I definitely don't dare to talk nonsense. If I talk about my father, I will know that I have gone too."

Zhang Fangyuan breathed out his nostrils and waved his hand: "Forget it, I see."

Ao Er hurriedly responded, and immediately relaxed: "Brother, then I'll go back."

Zhang Fangyuan carried the bag containing the money to the tea shed. He was going to get the money tomorrow, but now Yin Jiuniang sent another letter saying that the money was all ready, so he didn't want to wait any longer, so he made an extra trip. He came back on horseback and sent Xianglu over there.

At this moment, he was not in a hurry to ask Xu He to count the money, and kept thinking about it.

Yesterday he felt that something was wrong with Xu He, so he said that he didn't make a random guess, and that there really was a **** who started to shame people again.

Xu He definitely knew about it, but...why didn't he ask yesterday?

Zhang Fangyuan was agitated, he strode to the kitchen, grabbed Xu He's wrist and dragged him to the back room, and slammed the latch on the door.

"What, what are you doing!"

Zhang Fangyuan looked at the person: "I know everything."

"What do you know?"

Zhang Fangyuan said: "Didn't those gossiping women in the village make up again that I went to a brothel?"

Xu He raised his eyes and glanced at the person, as if he was still a little angry, he nodded: "Yeah."

"I went, but I didn't mess around."

Xu He didn't answer, but some of the initial unhappiness disappeared immediately in this rebuttal, and he nodded again: "Yes."

"Then you know and don't ask me?"

"I wanted to ask. But... I believe you." Xu He felt that it was sensational to say this all of a sudden, and he was very uncomfortable, so he said, "Didn't you go there first, to buy something."

"But I'm not going shopping this time."

Xu He was stunned: "That's okay."

Zhang Fangyuan suddenly laughed when he heard the words, and he stroked the back of Xu He's hand. I am very glad that Xu He trusted him, after all, his reputation was too bad before.

But when he was happy, he thought again: "Why don't you just believe everything? Are you not unhappy at all?"

"You think I'm unhappy?"

Zhang Fangyuan flattered him, "Shouldn't you be a little unhappy anyway?"

"A little bit." In fact, it was just a little bit, and I didn't take it too seriously, I just made a side note with a little **** I didn't know well.

Zhang Fangyuan was even happier, he hugged Xu He's waist, and picked him up easily, making Xu He feel that he was actually not very tall and heavy, just like ordinary boys.

"Although it's not to buy things, it's to sell things."

Zhang Fangyuan put down Xu He, brought one end of the bag over, and untied the bag, immediately several large lumps of silver were exposed, weighing a full twelve catties.

"Where did you get so much money!"
