Chapter 241

Ye Xiaotian let Su Ya and her brother into the study and lit a lamp. As soon as the lampshade was put down, the soft and bright light filled the study. For a time, even the cold air in the heavy rain seemed to be dispelled a lot.

It was late at night, and the county magistrate's wife came on a rainy night. Obviously, she had something very important to do, so she couldn't be delayed for too long. So, Ye Xiaotian didn't ask the servant girl to get up and make tea for them. He apologized to them and asked them to sit down.

Su Ya said, "Don't mention it. It's presumptuous of me to visit on a rainy night, so you don't have to be busy. Xuntian … "

Su Ya gave Su Xuntian a wink. Su Xuntian understood. He just sat down and bounced up again. He nodded to Ye Xiaotian and went out. He closed the door. It seemed that he was going to guard the door in case someone came close to eavesdrop.

Seeing that they were so cautious, Ye Xiaotian didn't care about the formalities. He also sat down, put his hands on his knees, and made a listening posture.

Su Ya was not in a hurry. Or she came on a rainy night and had already shown her urgency. She was at a disadvantage. At this time, she didn't want to show her eagerness in front of Ye Xiaotian, so she pretended to be calm.

She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, gently wiped her forehead and cheeks, and wiped away the rain stains. The water drops on her face and forehead were wiped away, and a few locks of hair that originally stuck to her forehead were slightly raised, which made Su Ya restore a little elegance and grace. The charm of a girl also quietly bloomed.

"Yeh Dianshi, I took the liberty to visit you because I want to talk with you about what we talked about in the county government."

Su Ya opened her mouth. Ye Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and said, "Did the county magistrate change his mind?"

Su Ya shook her head gently and said, "My husband is pure and good, and he doesn't know how to plot against others. But now the situation is that he doesn't plot against others, but others are plotting against him. My husband is loyal and willing to do it, but I can't tolerate it, so … "

Su Ya's eyes deepened a little, "Continue the topic in the daytime, but the person who cooperates with you is changed to me, not my husband!"

"Madam, you?"

Ye Xiaotian was a little surprised. He smiled and shook his head, "Please forgive me for offending you. Madam's identity is noble, but … you? Can you? "

"How do you know that I can't?"

Su Ya straightened her body slightly, and there was a little pride in her expression. Although she was dressed in men's clothing, she still revealed her beautiful and charming figure when she straightened her body. Even through the light green robe, the full bulge still displayed a strong feminine charm. She was a typical Jiangnan beauty. Her skin was thin and white, and her facial features were delicate and charming. It was precisely because of this that her delicate facial features were paired with a pair of extremely attractive breasts. When paired together, it gave men a very special kind of power.

Ye Xiao Tian's heart started thumping wildly, "What does Madam Ya mean by this? She wouldn't … wouldn't want to use her body to make a deal, right? "

Once this thought popped up, Ye Xiaotian had a strange feeling, "I'm going to deal with County Magistrate Xu. The only difference is whether I have Magistrate Hua's cooperation or not. Hence, the methods and effects will be different. If Madam Ya wants to use her body to make a deal with me … "

If Duo Ni is a sweet and sour apricot, then this woman in front of him is a ripe peach. That kind of mature lady's charm is something he has never come into contact with before. To a young man, especially a young man who has just tasted love, the temptation is irresistible.

Madam Ya's smug expression disappeared very quickly. She said in a reserved manner, "Although I am not the County Magistrate, but sometimes, there are some necessary things that I can do on behalf of the County Magistrate. And other people will believe that this is the County Magistrate's intention!

Moreover, the seal of the County Magistrate is kept by me. At the critical moment, I can exercise the power of the County Magistrate on behalf of the County Magistrate. Even if my husband finds out later, do you think he will tacitly admit that this is his decision or report me? "

Ye Xiaotian then realized that he was wrong. Even if he was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but blush. He rubbed his nose and laughed dryly, "That's all?"

Madam Ya thought for a moment and seemed to have made a decision. She then said in a low voice, "Also, do you think that those officials who left the County Magistrate and turned to Xu Boyi are all opportunists?"

Ye Xiaotian's eyes flashed and exclaimed, "What Madam is saying is …"

Madam Ya smiled, "Yeh Dianshi, you should know that sometimes an inner circle can be of great use."

But Ye Xiaotian didn't seem to be moved. He was silent for a moment and his tone was still indifferent, "That's all?"

Madam Ya revealed a hint of mockery and said, "Yeh Dianshi, isn't this enough? Even if my husband personally agreed to work with you, he can't do much more than this isn't it? Moreover, I am very clear that even without my husband's cooperation, you and Xu Boyi are like fire and water and will definitely fight. So, why don't I lend you a hand? "

Ye Xiaotian smiled and this time it was a real smile of joy, "Deal! Since Madam is so straightforward, then it's a deal! "

Madam Ya stood up happily and said, "A gentleman's word!"

Ye Xiaotian saw that she raised her jade-like hand and was stunned, "Is there a need to be so cautious?"

Ye Xiaotian laughed and stood up, "Madam, do you want to make a blood oath?"

Even as he said that, he raised his hand and gave her three 'pa pa pa' palms. The people of the past swore and made promises, unlike the people of the future who have lost all respect for the deities and made promises casually like farts. This agreement that was made with 3 claps is much more binding than the words written in black and white in the future.

After the 3 claps, Ye Xiaotian gently twirled his fingers under his sleeves and felt that soft and smooth feeling lingering. The difference between a young lady and a mature woman is quite huge. Even if it's the smallest difference in the palms, as long as one looks carefully, one can feel it.

Since the alliance was made, the 2 of them immediately became familiar with each other. Time was pressing and the both of them immediately discussed the contents of their cooperation and the ways to contact each other in the future. Among them were their own plans, predictions, and also the distribution of benefits and losses in every step of the way.

Madam Ya didn't stand on ceremony anymore. With the attitude of a haggling businesswoman, she tried her best to fight for as much benefits as possible for her husband. Of course, her words were tactful, her attitude gentle, and there was absolutely no sign of anger or exasperation. She was very elegant and beautiful, so much so that Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for her.

It was raining heavily outside the window, but the sound of the wind and rain seemed to be far away from the study, and the both of them were completely immersed in it. A man and a woman alone, but there was no ambiguous atmosphere, only the division of benefits. When everything was settled, Madam Ya heaved a sigh of relief, and only then did she relax completely. She even had the mood to admire the scenery in the study.

Su Ya's eyes turned, and suddenly saw a 'Orchid Grass Drawing' hanging on the wall above Ye Xiaotian's desk. Just one look and she could tell that it was her own work. When she looked again, she saw her own handwriting, 'Heart of Orchid', on it was indeed her own work.

Madam Ya was a little surprised at first. She didn't know when Ye Xiaotian had hung a drawing of hers here. After thinking carefully, she then remembered that her own brother had once asked for a drawing from her, but she didn't expect that it was to be a gift to Ye Xiaotian.

Madam Ya didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh. This was actually something she had scribbled casually, if she had known that it was a gift, she would have drawn it more seriously. However, such a casual drawing, although it was a little sloppy, it was less restrained, and more lively.

Ye Xiaotian didn't know that the word 'Heart of Orchid' was Madam Ya's handwriting, because Madam Ya had just scribbled it casually, and didn't treat it as an official drawing. Hence the title was very simple, and the entire drawing only had the word 'Heart of Orchid'. He thought that this was the name of the drawing.

Ye Xiaotian followed Madam Ya's gaze and turned his head to look, but he wasn't looking at the Orchid Grass Drawing that Madam Ya was looking at, but another drawing beside the Orchid Grass Drawing, "High Mountain Flowing Water Drawing". This drawing depicted the story of Boya's son, the High Mountain Flowing Water Drawing, where Boya sat and played the zither. Far away in the forest, a man could be seen chopping wood with an axe.

This drawing is a real masterpiece, and was collected by Law Tycoon for Ye Xiaotian. It's a work by the famous Song Dynasty artist, Wang Ximeng. Before this, it had been collected by many people, and there were many personal seals on it. Ye Xiaotian also added his own seal on it.

Ye Xiaotian thought that Madam Ya was looking at this drawing, and couldn't help but laugh, "Does Madam like this drawing? Little Tian doesn't know much about drawing, and only heard from Tycoon that this artist, Wang Ximeng, was personally taught by Emperor Huizong, Zhao Ji, and his drawing skills were superb. But he passed away before he was 20, and that's why there are very few works that have been passed down. "

Only then did Madam Ya notice the 'High Mountain Flowing Water Drawing'. She knows drawing, and after taking a closer look, she said happily, "Not bad, this person's drawing skills are superb, and the rarest thing is that there are very few of his works that have been passed down. I didn't think that Yeh Dianshi would actually have one of his works here."

Ye Xiaotian stood up, and took down the drawing from the wall, and rolled it up into a scroll. He said to Madam Ya, "Since Madam likes it, then give it to Madam. Little Tian is a commoner, and it's a waste to leave such an elegant piece with Little Tian. "

Su Ya initially didn't want to accept it, because Wang Ximeng's works that have been passed down are too few, and because of that, it's extremely precious. But on second thought, the both of them have just formed an alliance, and this might be a good way to improve their relationship. Moreover, towards this legendary artist's works, as a person who's good at drawing, it's really hard for her to give it up.

With this in mind, Su Ya didn't argue any further, and received Wang Ximeng's drawing with both hands, and said to Ye Xiaotian, "It's impolite not to reciprocate, I have a painting of flowers and birds by Ma Yao's father, I'll get Xun Tian to send it over to Official Ye some other day."

Ye Xiaotian laughed, "Madam is an elegant person, if it's like this, then it'll be too vulgar. A treasured sword should be given to a hero, and this painting, should be given to someone who truly appreciates it. If it's exchanged, then it'll be too boring. "Su Ya smiled, and didn't continue with the pleasantries.

At this point, the wind and rain had subsided a little, and Ye Xiaotian personally sent Su Ya and her brother out of the mansion. Looking at a lantern slowly descending the mountain, Ye Xiaotian thought to himself, "This Madam Ya is really a husband among women. If she was a man, she'd be the County Magistrate of Gourd County, and she wouldn't be as arrogant as Wang Ning, Meng County Magistrate, and even the current Xu Boyi …"

Thinking up to this point, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh, "I'm thinking too much! If that's really the case, who knows if I'd already returned to the capital, and be setting up a stall on the streets, where would I get the chance to make a name for myself! "
