The sun is blazing outside and the heat is overwhelming, but inside the house is refreshing and pleasant.

Xiao Cheng didn't like the cold atmosphere caused by placing ice cubes in the room, so the decoration here was naturally made elsewhere.

The life of a wealthy person is naturally beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The house where Xiao Cheng was lying was an independent house in the backyard. The windows on all sides were wide open and covered with a layer of gauze. The most amazing thing was that a huge waterwheel kept spinning.

The water from the pond in front was wheeled up and poured on the roof. The water flowed down the roof and formed a rain curtain under the four eaves. The water wheel kept stopping and the rain curtain continued.

No matter how hot the sun is outside, the breeze is always blowing inside the house and it's extremely cool.

Not to mention anything else, just this house with a pond that has a source of running water is not something that ordinary people can buy, and such a waterwheel cannot be built by ordinary craftsmen. It needs to be built in prison.

Only a master craftsman of this caliber would have to spend at least several hundred dollars per frame.

And with such continuous operation, the losses are naturally huge, and each maintenance cost is also very expensive. Let alone ordinary people, even ordinary officials. If the family is not rich in assets and relies on a little salary, then it is not possible.

No need to think about it.

Xiao Cheng felt at ease and enjoyed the soft and gentle massage from the incomparably beautiful owner of Tianxiang Pavilion behind him.

I didn't sleep well last night. Firstly, I had something on my mind, and secondly, it was too hot. In my own home, although I was not short of money, I still didn't dare to do something ostentatious like this. Even if I did, it wouldn't be Xiao's turn.

Sincerely enjoy.

With his eyes closed, his breathing steady, and his hands folded in front of his abdomen, Xiao Cheng seemed to be asleep.

Jiang Yingxue leaned over from behind and looked at the sharp-edged face in front of her. At this time, she looked extremely peaceful, and seemed not much different from an ordinary boy.

However, Jiang Yingxue knew that there were many fantastic ideas and many ways of turning stone into gold hidden in the head that she was gently massaging.

Three years, just three years, a small Tianxiang Pavilion has become the industry leader of fragrant medicine in the world. Even the fragrant medicine academy of the imperial court has to look up to Tianxiang Pavilion in many places and dare not respect Tianxiang Pavilion.

It's not rude at all. It's really because the many fragrant medicines and other substances prepared by Tianxiang Pavilion are completely unique in the world. The nobles in the palace can't live without them for a moment. If you offend them, come to them.

This excuse cost the palace money, and those in the Xiangyao Academy were the ones who suffered.

A sixteen-year-old boy, a well-known scholar in Bianliang, is actually so proficient in business matters. In the past three years, under his guidance and layout, countless famous perfume merchants have suffered greatly.

Shen Sha was defeated miserably at his hands. From the initial shock to the later numbness, Jiang Yingxue has become accustomed to it now.

Of course, a sixteen-year-old boy is not only clever in his skills. For Tianxiang Pavilion to be in the current situation, tough methods are naturally indispensable. Xiao Cheng's decisiveness in killing, or rather ruthless, also made Jiang Yingxue amazed.

Fragrant medicines are hugely profitable. In the past, Tianxiang Pavilion only ran a small business. They just bought them from big merchants and prepared them with some family secrets and then sold them to make money. Naturally, they would not attract attention. The little they earned every year

Small money will not be taken seriously by real big shots.

However, as Tianxiangge's business grew bigger and bigger, it was no longer satisfied with the preparation of fragrant medicines, but directly intervened in the large-volume transactions of various fragrant medicines, and conflicts naturally followed.

And in the middle, there were so many open and secret arrows, and so many bloody fights, that Tianxiang Pavilion truly gained a firm foothold on the spice road that although the aroma is compelling, is actually also bloody.

Jiang Yingxue at least knew that the leader of the escort team that transported raw materials for spices had changed two times in three years, and those guards that she had some memories of over the years had lost one-third, that is,

This year, the situation is a little better.

Some of these people never came back, some were seriously injured during the fight and could no longer eat this bowl of rice, some went to the pharmaceutical hospital in Tianxiang Pavilion to learn how to make various fragrant medicines, and some

, after receiving a large pension, he returned to his hometown and lived the ordinary life of men farming and women weaving.

These people are not in Jiang Yingxue's hands.

They are all Xiao Cheng's people.

The wholesale business of Tianxiang Pavilion's spices is actually in the hands of Xiao Cheng, and the production technology in the incense making yard that is really related to the secret of Tianxiang Pavilion's rise is also in the hands of Xiao Cheng's people.

Jiang Yingxue is not so much the boss of Tianxiang Pavilion as he is a big housekeeper of Xiao Cheng.

Over the past three years, as Jiang Yingxue came into contact with more and more Xiao Cheng's secrets, she also knew very well that she and Xiao Cheng were completely tied together.

And Jiang Yingxue was also willing to be tied to the man in front of her who was five years younger than herself.

There is a mutual infiltration of interests here, as well as the relationship that helped Xiao Cheng in the first place. Of course, what is more important is Jiang Yingxue's respect and admiration for the young man in front of her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yingxue's jade-white face instantly became on fire, and even the roots of his ears turned red. Even his breathing became heavy.

In the past three years, with the strong rise of Tianxiang Pavilion, outsiders only thought that Jiang Yingxue was a business genius, good at dancing, and with sharp methods. However, they did not know that if it were not for the support of this little man behind him, he would not be able to even open the small door of the original small door.

I can't even hold it up.

Turning her head to look at the water curtain outside the window, listening to the crisp sound of water falling into the ditch, Jiang Yingxue suddenly sighed again.

Although the beautiful woman is good, I am afraid that she will not belong to me.

I am five years older than the other party, and there is also a huge difference between the two families. Although I have become famous now, many high-ranking officials in the court have come to propose to marry me, but who are the first to be greedy for me?

Secondly, she is greedy for her own money. How can the young handsome men from really high-ranking families look at her?

For some people like that, there is no problem in having fun with themselves, but if they really want to reveal that the matchmaker is marrying them, that is absolutely impossible.

The Xiao Cheng in front of him was the kind of person who would never marry him.

And with my current reputation, status, and wealth, how could I possibly be a concubine?

Moreover, he had announced to the world that he would never marry again in this life, and would only devote himself to the Tianxiang Pavilion. Even the officials and the concubines in the palace knew this.

Thinking of this, he sighed again.

"Okay, why did you sigh suddenly?" Xiao Cheng's voice suddenly sounded. Jiang Yingxue was startled and turned around, only to see that Xiao Cheng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, had woken up at some point.

He was looking at himself with bright eyes.

"No...I didn't think about anything!" In Jiang Yingxue's heart, Xiao Cheng's age has long been downplayed and does not exist. In front of him, she will always be a little woman, and it seems that everything depends on the appearance of the man in front of her.

.

Jiang Yingxue is not pretending, she just thinks so. When this man is away, she is used to solving any problems independently. She has been an only daughter since she was a child. There are no men in the family, so her father has been working hard to cultivate her since she was a child.

With all kinds of abilities, Jiang Yingxue was originally a very independent person and very independent. This was also the case when her father was seriously ill and the Jiang family came to try to seize the child. Although she was financially strapped, she was still able to support herself independently.

long time reasons.

But as soon as this man stood in front of her, she didn't want to think about anything. He would do whatever he said, and she would do whatever he asked her to do.

Anyway, Xiao Cheng has never done anything wrong in the past few years.

"When did Erlang wake up?" Jiang Yingxue stood up and asked softly.

"From the moment you sighed for the first time!" Xiao Cheng straightened up and sat up.

"Ah?" Jiang Yingxue was startled, and her face suddenly turned red again. She woke up at that time. Could it be that her embarrassment just now was seen by the other party?

The man in front of me is an exquisite and translucent person. He seems to be able to read minds and can always see through other people's thoughts at a glance.

"It seems that there is indeed something on your mind!" Xiao Cheng smiled, pulled a cucumber slice from his face, threw it into his mouth and chewed it. "Can you tell me about it?"

How can I tell you this kind of thing?

Jiang Yingxue felt a little embarrassed and reached out to pick off the cucumber slices on Xiao Cheng's face: "How can I still eat this? I have already prepared the fruits later."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the side room.

Behind her, Xiao Cheng stared intently at the other party's tall figure and graceful figure.

Everyone has a love for beauty, let alone a young man who is over sixteen years old and full of vitality?

Many sixteen-year-old boys from ordinary families may have become fathers a long time ago. Even those from scholarly families and wealthy families generally marry late because they have to focus on raising their own children. But who in these families still has a father?

How many girls are there? That means the Xiao family has a very strict family tradition. This kind of thing will never be allowed to happen before the eldest lady comes in.

There is no doubt that Jiang Yingxue is a rare beauty. Whether it is appearance or figure, it is extremely in line with Xiao Cheng's aesthetics. And deep down in his heart, he indeed regards Jiang Yingxue as his forbidden love and does not allow others to get involved.

of.

Since everything is his own sooner or later, Xiao Cheng is not anxious at all.

He liked the vague but warm emotional entanglement he had with Jiang Yingxue very much. For some things, once he took that step and there were no secrets between the two parties, he lost even more fun.

When the melon is ripe and the stem falls off, that is the most interesting thing.

More importantly, Xiao Cheng knew very well that based on his family status and the rules of the family, it seemed impossible for him to marry the other person into the family in a serious manner. As for taking her as a concubine, if Jiang Yingxue was the little girl from the past,

It's fine that she belongs to a small family named Biyu, but who is she now? How can she be so negligent?

How to arrange the other party will definitely be a big problem for Xiao Cheng in the future.

When Luo Gang and Luo Yuting told Luo Gang that they had a crush on Jiang Yingxue, it was just an excuse, but now, it really means it.
