The sun was setting in the west and it was already getting late.

There is still a bustling scene on both sides of the street. The vendors are selling their goods loudly with smiling faces, young children are chasing and playing with candy figures in their hands, girls and women stop in front of the rouge and gouache stalls to choose, and there are

There was a long queue in front of the dim sum shop that served hotpots...

The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to mortal hearts.

The boredom in Yun Xihe's heart dissipated somewhat.

"stop."

She got off the carriage and walked among the crowd, the lively bustle of the market stained the tips of her eyebrows. She was like a tired bird returning to the forest, her steps were very brisk, Xiaotao and Xiaoli followed her

Next to him, his eyes were watching the surroundings with vigilance.

It’s not too far to walk back to Yun Mansion from here, but the young lady’s safety is extremely high.

In the distance, Qin Xuanling, who was galloping to catch up, saw her getting off the carriage, frowned, tightened the reins, and couldn't help but slow down the horse's hooves.

He himself couldn't explain it clearly. He could have foreseen everything that happened today when he agreed to her, so why did he catch up now?

His dark eyes stared closely at the beautiful figure in the distance, as if he wanted to draw all the doubts that followed into the depths of the whirlpool of his eyes.

But he still unconsciously held the reins and leaned closer.

"Miss, it's so lively in front."

Yun Xihe followed Xiao Tao's finger and looked over. In the middle of the street, a group of people were surrounding a woman dressed as a woman, pointing and talking.

When I got closer, I saw a young woman and a three or four-year-old boy, kneeling down to beg.

The people around were talking, "Look at the clothes she's wearing, they're made of Su embroidery. How can she be so embarrassed to beg for food and lie to others?"

"No, look at that child. He's also dressed up neatly. He looks like he comes from a wealthy family."

Yun Xihe didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but the refreshing scent of cedar from the woman's body lingered directly at the tip of her nose. When she smelled it carefully, the fragrance was also mixed with some warm smoky roses.

Let that coldness become gentle and restrained.

This smell was originally the favorite aroma of the teenagers in the school, but now it appeared on a young woman, and it was quite good.

A trace of interest flashed in Yun Xihe's eyes, and then she stopped. She looked carefully. The people onlookers said that she was begging for food, but the woman clearly stood upright, and the paper she held in her hand was clearly

He wrote that he came to Chang'an to find his relatives, spent all his money, and was willing to work in exchange for some food.

So she said, "Come with me."

The woman was overjoyed when she heard this, and then she saw the dignified and elegant Yun Xihe from the crowd who moved out of the way. There was a trace of hesitation on her face.

"Miss, I am willing to work, but I cannot sign the deed of sale."

"Um?"

Yun Xihe was a little confused. In order to facilitate management, all the slaves in the wealthy family had to sign a deed of sale.

The woman then said, "If I sign the deed of sale, then my son will also become a slave. I can't ruin his life just for a bite of food. He will be the number one scholar in the future."

As soon as these words came out, the people watching burst into laughter. They were almost reduced to begging for food. Why are they still daydreaming like this?

"I see."

Yun Xihe nodded, with a smile on his lips. He was indeed a man with a long-term vision.

She didn't force herself, she raised her hand and pulled out a gold hairpin set with dove's blood ruby ​​from her head, and handed it over, "Here you go, take it."

Xiaoli immediately became vigilant, "Miss, this person of unknown origin..."

Some people among the onlookers also tried to persuade them, "Miss, your hairpin is very valuable. Don't let others deceive you easily. That would be a pity."

Xiao Tao on the side didn't say anything. Instead, she stretched out her hand to pull Xiao Li and persuaded in a low voice, "Young lady, you have your own way of doing things."

Yun Xihe smiled slightly and glanced at Xiao Tao with admiration.

In the face of everyone's doubts, the woman still had a calm expression and didn't say a word, but the little boy who was following her was very angry.

He was wearing a gray-blue brocade robe, his hair was tied into a bun, and his chubby little face was full of anger. He opened his hands to protect the woman behind him.

"You are not allowed to say that about my mother!"

Yun Xihe looked down at him, a flash of pain in his eyes.

In her previous life, the child she adopted had such a cute appearance and would protect her when Chu Sheng argued with her.

"My dear, don't be afraid." She reached out and rubbed his hair, holding his fleshy little hand, "It's okay."

When the woman saw this, she finally couldn't help but soften her body. She looked at Roujia with a begging look on her face, "Miss, I don't want your hairpin. I just ask you to take in our mother and son. I can embroider, arrange flowers, and make tea."

Make tea, mix fragrance, and settle accounts..."

When Yun Xihe heard the end, her eyes became more and more satisfied. She put the hairpin back into her hair and said lightly, "Okay."

After the woman thanked him profusely, she followed Yun Xihe with her child in her arms, and headed to Yun Mansion together.

"What's your name?" Yun Xihe asked casually.

"Ye Shifang."

When Yun Xihe heard the name, the expression on his face froze.

If she remembers correctly, in her previous life, Mrs. Shifang, who opened shops all over Dashun, Dazhou and Xiliang, and became the most wealthy in the world, had her real name Ye Shifang.

Her son, Ye Lang, spoke well at a young age and was called a child prodigy with a bright future.

"Miss, what's the problem?"

Ye Shifang is also a person who can observe words and expressions. Seeing Yun Xihe's face showing thoughts, he asked carefully.

Yun Xihe never expected that he would pick up such a big treasure by accident.

She rarely showed a smile and said,

"Madam, I'm afraid I can't take you back home."

Surprise flashed across Ye Shifang's face, and then she became disappointed, "It's okay, if it's inconvenient for Miss..."

Yun Xihe raised his hand calmly and stopped her words, "No."

She raised her hand and pointed at Wanxiang Tower not far away.

"Did you see it? That is my family's business, specializing in all kinds of fragrant powder business. But it has not improved. From today on, you go to the store and learn carefully. Once you are familiar with it, I will let you take over as the shopkeeper."

When Ye Shifang heard this, her eyes widened in shock, and she carefully observed the dignified and beautiful woman in front of her. She saw that her eyes were slightly raised, and her cold eyebrows were filled with determination and indifference, making people unconsciously want to fall in love with her.

The abyss deep in the eyes.

It seems that no matter what she says or does, she has unimaginable courage. Just like today, the two of them just met by chance, and she didn't even sign the deed of betrayal.

And can she actually trust her so much?

Ye Shifang was greatly shocked and couldn't help but ask, "Miss, aren't you afraid that I am a liar?"

Yun Xihe's expression remained unchanged, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, and he smiled, "I'm not afraid, Mrs. Shifang, are you afraid that you can't do it?"

Ye Shifang shook her head hastily, "That's not what I meant."

Yun Xi said calmly, "Then I hope we can have a happy cooperation."
