Chapter 19: I advise you to forget it early, this thing is the most lovesick 4
Han Ruxu still comes to the store from time to time, and there is always an excuse to pay back the money. Three thousand taels of silver debt, I have one or two at a time, which is enough to repay until the end of my old age.
"Did Lord Han come to pay back the money again?" He was warned and restrained a lot, but his attitude remained unchanged. Seeing him standing outside the door again, he greeted him with a smile.
"Well, this is today's one or two." The salary was just paid a few days ago, otherwise it would be difficult for him to squeeze out so much silver.
Si Si asked him to sit down and go to the backyard to ask for Wei Tanyi. After all, the owner still had to do the matter of changing the IOU. Although Wei Tanyi didn't mind how much money she had sold, she deliberately told her to go through her own hands for the antiques.
Wei Tanyi rarely changed into a black dress. His long hair was braided, but he was also wrapped in a headscarf, which looked so strange that Han Ruxu was choked by tea as soon as he came out.
"One or two pieces of silver at a time, does Lord Han think that the paper with IOUs is free?" After adding some water and ink to the inkstone, Wei Tanyi quickly wrote a new IOU in duplicate.
Han Ruxu took it and took a look. The number did not decrease but increased. He was shocked: "What's going on!"
"Didn't you just say that this paper with an IOU is also bought with money. The waste is caused by Lord Han, and naturally Lord Han will pay the bill." The shopkeeper in black is really black-hearted, and a lot of money for buying paper is written on it.
"You!" Han Ruxu was so angry, "Is your conscience eaten by the dog?"
Wei Tanyi innocently drew a circle of the brush in the air: "I'm a profiteer, and I never know what my conscience is."
I didn't expect him to say the word profiteer so brazenly. Han Ruqi didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"Mr. Wei has something else to do. Excuse me." He gave the new IOU to the sire beside him, and Wei Tanyi brushed his sleeves and was about to go out. Han Ruxu didn't care about it. He grabbed his picture and put it in his arms and strode to follow: "What do you want to do to do something?!"
Wei Tanyi kept walking: "Well, Lord Han, who knows me."
Spitting blood, this person's brazenness is really at the peak. Han Ruxu followed for a while and suddenly asked, "Is it convenient for me to follow?"
"Oh? This is really new," Wei Tanyi glanced at him curiously. "I said no, won't Lord Han follow me?"
Han Ruqi's face twitched: "I'm also an interesting person."
Wei Tanyi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If you want to follow me, just follow me. For the sake of Lord Han's stepping through the threshold this month, I will believe you."
"True? What sincerity..."
"I won't betray my sincerity in front of His Royal Highness."
The two of them stood shoulder to shoulder all the way and passed three or four streets. There were many passers-by who looked sideways, and most of them were curious about Wei Tanyi's dress. Although the dark color is not forbidden, it is rare for people to wear a full black color. What's more, he also braided his braids, which looks like a foreigner.
"Why are you dressed up?" It is also common for ordinary people to change into four or five sets of clothes. This guy is usually dressed in white, but occasionally changing into red and black is particularly uncomfortable.
"I have no choice but to do it. Here it is."
With that, Wei Tanyi pushed open an old wooden door in front of him, and in a squeak, the dilapidated courtyard appeared in front of him.

After dealing with a day of political affairs, the man in the dragon robe rushed back to his bedroom.
At the end of the three-day fasting, she will be sent to Qianhua Palace tonight. When he thinks of this, he is hot all over and doesn't want to stay in the imperial study for a moment. It was easy to approve the last memorial. The eunuch next to him had already seen that he could not hold back. As soon as the cinnabar pen left his hand, he announced: "Your Majesty, get up!"
On this day, he waited for 12 years.
The eunuch in the courtyard knelt down to greet him in turn, but he didn't even want to say anything. He just hurried to the inner hall and whispered behind.
There has been a lot of noise in the palace for a long time. As soon as the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor imprisoned the sixth prince and forcibly captured the sixth princess into the palace and named it as a concubine Shu. If it hadn't been for the ancestral etiquette law that the concubine must fast and clean her body for three days, the sixth princess would have been defrauded by him long ago.
The maids sighed for the poor sixth princess and knew that she would not escape a disaster tonight. The concubines in the harem complained about the emperor's behavior. They really didn't understand why the king of a country had to compete with his brother for a woman. There was still a shortage of women in his harem. A group of princes are in danger. There may be a second time to forcibly marry a brother's wife for the first time. Everyone is afraid that the next person to be taken away is their own princess.
However, their worries are superfluous. No one understands what he is worried about, even the sixth princess wrapped in a brocade quilt - now Shufei Gao Yuqin doesn't understand.
"Yuqin!" As soon as the man stepped into the door, he couldn't help calling her name excitedly.
But the person in the brocade quilt just trembled like a sieve and tried his best to curl up.
"Yuqin, don't be afraid. I will never do anything to hurt you," the man sat down by the dragon bed and put his hand on the brocade quilt. "You show your head. I just want to say something to you. Don't be stuffy."
A sob came from the brocade, and Gao Yuqin pleaded with a crying voice: "Please let the emperor go of the maidservant. How can the maidservant be? I dare not ask the emperor to love."
The man frowned and patted his hand a little hard: "Yuqin, don't shrink in the quilt. I promise that I won't hurt you. I will definitely do it. After listening to my words, I will ask someone to send you to the side hall."
He was stopped and shrank by the middle man, and half of his head was poked out of the fate. A pair of beautiful eyes showed sadness, and his voice came muffledly: "Is the emperor's words serious?"
"Of course it's true," the man felt much more relaxed when he saw that she finally relaxed her guard. Looking back, he asked the maids of honor to retreat. "Yuqin, are you hating me? I separated you, put my sixth brother under house arrest, and robbed you into the palace."
Gao Yuqin grasped the fate and dared not look at him: "I dare not hate the emperor."
The man laughed at himself: "Why do you have to say such insincere words? I know what you're thinking." After a pause, he said, "Yuqin, I really didn't expect that you and I would see you again after eight years, but you married my brother and mother. If I had known this, I should have shown my heart to you in Fuyang. How could it cause today's situation?
Gao Yuqin couldn't help looking up at him and couldn't remember where she had seen him eight years ago.
"Have you forgotten? At that time, I took my sixth brother to hide on the lychee tree in your yard and was found by you. Instead of giving us to your father, you generously gave me a bracelet and asked me to take my sixth brother to see the doctor.
Twelve years old is no longer a child. Of course, Gao Yuqin remembers the brothers she taught her, but she opened her eyes wide and looked carefully at the man in front of her. It was hard to believe that he was the teenager who peeped in the tree.
The man sighed, bent down and put his elbow on his knees: "I dare not forget your teachings that day. How to be a real man and how to become a smart man with you. I have worked hard for eight years, waiting for you to grow up. Who wants to wait for your father to marry you and your sixth brother."
"He...he never told me about it." The woman lowered her eyelids.
"The sixth brother is not careful, how can he remember it?" The man sighed.
Silence hovered between the two for a while, and the man said, "I know that you won't forgive me for what I did because of listening to me, but I don't want to put up with you in other people's arms anymore. I can't stand it for a moment. I must take you back. Even if you want to hate me for ten or twenty years, I won't regret it."
The woman withdrew her head back into the quilt again.
"If you are willing to forgive me, please be sure to tell me. If not, let's live like this." The man stood up and shouted out of the door, "Come on!"
The eunuchs of the palace came in and said, "What's the order of the emperor?"
The man looked back at the person who was still huddled in the quilt and said sadly, "Send the Empress to the side hall to rest."
