Your Majesty will suffer

After a night of rain, the courtyards in the outskirts of the city are full of sight.Yellow flowers are everywhere and dead leaves are flying, indicating that this autumn is coming to an end.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a blue figure was busy in front of and behind the house, tending flowers and grass, sprinkling water and sweeping dust, as if he had entered a state of ecstasy.

Suddenly, the courtyard door slammed softly, startling the person who was concentrating on sweeping the fallen leaves. He stopped his work and listened carefully.

The first person to enter was a man in blue, and said with a loud smile: "A guest has arrived, why don't you hurry up to meet him?" Yan Jian deliberately turned sideways so that she could see the person behind him clearly!

The woman rolled her eyes and said with false anger: "The officials invited the officials from Nangong to come today, why don't you inform the servants, so that you can make preparations early." Before she could finish her words, her face turned red.

Seeing this, the person following the man in blue smiled and said: "Today I came here just to have a drink with Brother Zhang, but drinking is good, so why bother you!"

Seeing what he said, the woman was quite calm, and replied with a smile: "There is absolutely no shortage of this thing! I will go and prepare it for the two of you." After saying that, she trotted away.

These two people are Zhang Fang and Nan Gongji!The woman in Tsing Yi is Xin He, Zhang Fang's new maidservant.

Xin He said that he had no preparations, but when the banquet came, there were five or six plates of meat and vegetables. He also prepared two small plates of sour plums for the two of them to hangover.

Nangongji tasted a few side dishes, and praised: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Xin He's kung fu has improved again!" Then he turned to Zhang Fang: "I recommend this housekeeper for Brother Zhang, does Brother Zhang agree?"

Zhang Fang smiled: "Brother Nangong's eyesight, how can there be any mistake! After coming from Xinhe, my two old family members were really blessed. Not to mention sweeping, even the heavy work of carrying water and watering the garden taught her alone. Take it! So according to me, if she is the housekeeper, she will be able to convince everyone."

Xin He hurriedly waved her hands with a blushing face: "The officials don't make fun of the slave family! The slave family was in trouble at sunset, but fortunately the two rescued the slave family, and they didn't dislike the slave family's clumsiness. But in order to take in, the slave family has no way to repay, but to share some work for the house. It should be! Let’s say that in our farm family, these jobs have to be done every day, and everyone can do them! But those rough farm jobs, the slave family really has nothing to do... That’s why I had to do it with my brother..." Yan At this point, it seemed that he had touched something sad, and for a moment his eyes seemed to be choked up.

Seeing this, Zhang Fang hurriedly said: "Forget it, this old matter should not have been brought up. This is my fault, so I will punish myself with a cup and apologize to you."

Xinhe dared not dare.Nangong Ji took the opportunity to round things up and said, "After a few words, the wine has gone cold."

Xin He hurriedly said: "I'll take it to heat up now." After saying that, he went back with the wine.

Hibiscus comes out of clear water, and it is naturally carved.Nangongji looked at the light green floating out the door, and was a little lost in thought.

Zhang Fang said with a smile: "If brother Nangong is interested, why not take her into the mansion?"

Nangongji taught people to guess the central matter, and the ears couldn't help but feel a little hot, but he said: "This remark can't be said indiscriminately! I'll let it go. Xin He is a girl from a good family. Ran, if she listens to your words, she will die of shame and indignation."

Zhang Fang was not in a hurry to argue with him, he picked up a dried plum and put it into his mouth, savoring it carefully, but his eyes stayed on the face of the person sitting opposite him.

Nangong Jijiao felt uncomfortable looking at him, lowered his eyes and said: "Brother Zhang made such a statement, could it be because of his own intention?"

Zhang Fang raised his mouth lightly: "If Brother Nangong really has no intentions, then I might as well take her in. Although she and I are masters and servants in name, we are innocent, but outsiders may not see it that way! He is not young, if he goes out, he may not be able to find a good family."

Nangongji had never expected him to be so straightforward, and lost his mind for a moment, so he got up and walked around for a couple of times on the pretext of sobering up, before slowly saying: "I think, I'd better ask Xin He herself."

Zhang Fang said: "That's natural! However, if you want to follow her temperament, if you and I have made up our minds, she will obey. If you want to, you can say it bluntly. After all, you met her first, and she is grateful to you. It's better than me, but don't be so vague, because she can't wait!"

Nan Gongji pondered for a while, and said: "At the beginning, when we met in the outskirts of Bianliang, I never thought that we would meet each other in Luoyang. This is also fate! However, at this time..."

Before the words were finished, I saw the door curtain being lifted, and it turned out that Xin He came in with hot wine.Nangongji's words can stop at this moment!Zhang Fang laughed and said, "Pour the wine!"

The night is deep.

Before leaving, Zhang Fang suddenly said: "Brother Nangong, if you are in trouble, Brother Yu has a plan."

Nan Gongji was startled, he knew what he was referring to, but he was pondering.

"There are a lot of idle houses in Luoyang City. If brother Nangong is still expensive, how about buying a room for Xinhe? It's not the best policy for her to stay with me for a long time." The man said calmly.

After deliberating for a moment, Nan Gongji nodded: "Brother Rong, go back and think about it."

If you choose to rent a house in the outskirts of the city, the cost should not be high, and you can avoid your home, so that Chaoyun will not find out and make troubles and obstruct it, it is the best choice!only. . .In my heart, I feel a little ashamed of Zhang Fang, after all, Xin He was in trouble at the beginning, and it was his great help to resolve it, and he had intentions for Xin He, if it wasn't because of himself. . .Speaking of friends and confidants, they should give in, but this matter is embarrassing. . .Letting go is the measure of a gentleman; but if not letting go, there are reasons for not letting go. . .

When she met her brother and sister on a spring outing at Tianqing Temple in Bianliang, Nan Gongji's heart moved.

Xin He's life experience is unfortunate, her parents died early, and her younger brother depended on each other for life, without food and clothing, so she had to sell and sing for a living!A few months ago, my brother unfortunately contracted an illness, and life could not continue. Fang remembered that there was an uncle in Luoyang that he had never met!When her siblings trekked here, they knew that her uncle had passed away, and her aunt was aggressive, forbidding the two of them to eat and live for free, and they still went to restaurants to sell and sing every day to make a living.

The so-called unforeseen circumstances, one day the singer had an argument with a customer, the man pushed her brother downstairs, he was actually sick, and when he fell down, he lost his breath on the spot!Xinhe was greatly mourned, and vowed to seek justice with his younger brother!Who knows that the person who hurt others is a son of a rich family, and others say no to sue!Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xinhe showed a strong temper, and refused to obey no matter what!Knowing this, the rich family colluded with the store owner and everyone, insisting that the person who died that day was his own mistake!

In the hall, the government could not listen to Xin He's one-sided words, so they sentenced her to make a false accusation. Thinking that she was a weak woman, or because she was in great grief, she caused reckless troubles, so she was sentenced to half a month in prison, and she was not allowed to sue again!Even so, it still failed to dispel this weak woman's obsession!

After she was released from prison, her aunt detested her siblings' bad luck and drove her out of the house!In desperation, Xinhe had no choice but to beg along the street, hoping to raise money and go back to Beijing to appeal!

Or maybe there is no unparalleled road, and when you are in despair, you meet your old friend again!When Nangongji heard what had happened to her, she felt that she was not fair, so she took her to beg Zhang Fang.Thanks to Zhang Fang's discernment, he will bring to justice the person who hurt others!

The grievance has been redressed, but Xinhe doesn't know what to do now!Nan Gongji couldn't bear to see her reduced to prostitution, and it was inconvenient to bring her back to the mansion, so she discussed with Zhang Fang and taught her to stay in his home temporarily as a maidservant.Zhang Fang responded!And this stay lasted for several months until now.

Recalling the past, it is inevitable to add melancholy.

Lifting the curtain and looking back, the small courtyard has long been lost in the night.

It's strange to say that Nan Gongji has seen countless people in his life, but for some reason, he fell in love with this plain-looking country girl!Thinking about it, it might be because the people who usually surround her are either a dignified lady like Chaoyun, or a beautiful woman like Liu Shi, it's like drinking too much fine wine and tea. Light, sweet and refreshing, but also memorable!

Forget it, at first he was hesitant, firstly because it was not appropriate to bring her into the mansion, and secondly, because of Zhang Fang's scruples, but now that this dilemma has been resolved, there is no need to hesitate any longer, and he follows Zhang Fang's strategy, Set up an outhouse, take Xinhe out and settle down, and then plan for the future!As for Zhang Fang's generosity this time, let's wait until the next day to thank him.

At this moment in the small courtyard, Zhang Fang sent Nangong Ji off, but when he turned around, he saw Xin He coming out with something, and said, "What time is it, are you still resting?"

Xin He smiled and said: "Ye Liang, the servant girl will send you a piece of clothing."

Zhang Fang walked forward with a smile: "Are you really thinking about me, or that person?"

When Xin He heard this, he became anxious for a moment, stomped his feet and said, "What are you talking about, the official? The maidservant is humble, but she also knows her identity. Why do you think so unreasonably? What the official said is that you dislike the maidservant. Son? If that’s the case, the servant girl will immediately resign from the officials, so as not to upset the officials here!”

I don't want to think that this seemingly docile person has something that should not be offended, which is really unexpected!But in retrospect, if it weren't for this fierceness, how could he avenge his younger brother?In this way, it might be that he was really abrupt.

To be honest, Zhang Fang is indeed a gentleman!

Although Xin He is a maidservant, he treats each other with courtesy, which is due to his nature, but he, the so-called gentleman does not steal people's love, although Nan Gongji did not say it clearly, Zhang Fang is not stupid, this Xin He, Sooner or later, he is still a member of his Nangong Mansion, so he can't take her in right now, there must be some difficulties!But he, Zhang Fang, is a loner after all, and there are only two old servants in his family, both of whom are men, so it's not appropriate for Xin He to grow up here!That's why today I decided to provoke him, to teach him to make up his mind earlier, which is also an explanation to Xin He.

The decision has been made, and I have to explain it to Xin He, so I don't care how embarrassed she is at the moment, but said: "The Nangong official said, if you are willing, he will pick you up in two days, but if you are not willing, Also taught me earlier, so that I can return him for you."

When Xinhe heard it, he didn't know whether it was shock or suspicion, and he was speechless for a long time.

Zhang Fang didn't want to push her too hard, he said: "It's getting late today, go and rest, and talk about it tomorrow." After saying that, he went inward.Just about to open the door and enter the house, when he heard hurried footsteps behind him, his hands paused.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came to the front, and the woman's voice was heard: "My servant is willing to obey the orders of the officials."

Zhang Fang stood with his back, his voice still calm: "That's good. It's late at night, let's go and rest."

Xin He responded lightly, but Wen Yin was a little flustered, but he finally went.

Hearing that she entered the house and closed the door, Zhang Fang let out a soft sigh. After living together for so long, if she really left, the house would return to the previous desertedness, and he might not be used to it for a while.
