Xia Xun gave Cui Yuanlie face-to-face instructions, and also taught him some bad ideas for picking up girls. These methods were both soft and hard, and he tried his best. Most of them were developed by men over thousands of years to deal with their lover's former lover, Mr. Taishan, a killer.
A unique move. Peng Ziqi listened curiously, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she wanted to stop laughing. When Xia Xun looked at her, she turned cold and cool again.
Xia Xun would have a strange feeling in his heart from time to time. The Peng Ziqi in front of him was obviously still the same person before, but he seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes from within. This change started when he rescued Xiaodi.
There always seemed to be a gap between him and Miss Peng in the past, whether it was when they were like-minded and joined forces to deal with the evil gentry Qiu Qiu in Putai County, or when Peng Ziqi fell ill and he took her to Yanggu County for medical treatment.
, their feelings for each other are obviously getting closer, but in the end they are always tepid, just like the boiling water on the plateau that never reaches the temperature it should be.
But now, things seem to be reversed. There is always a feeling that the relationship between two people is about to open the window and meet each other naked. It seems that if one party takes the initiative, the relationship between the two people will soon undergo substantial changes. Xia
Xun had this feeling before, when he and a girl gradually began to fall in love, but they didn't know each other's intentions yet, and could only test each other through vague words and actions during contact.
It was an ambiguous, very sweet ambiguity.
But for him at this moment, this kind of ambiguity is poisonous. Because Xia Xun has a prospective wife in his hometown in Jiangnan who he has settled on since he was wearing crotchless pants. There are also Xiaodi, Manager Xiao and the wife of the Xiao family whose attitudes are blinding.
It can be seen that he just still doesn't understand that the little girl Xiao Di's feelings for him are just admiration for her brother or a girl's admiration for a man.
Xia Xun tried hard to improve the relationship with Miss Peng in the past. Although he occasionally made teasing remarks, it was because Peng Ziqi was as cold as ice and did not think about the last step. Now Peng Ziqi's attitude is very subtle, and the layer of window paper seems to be broken with a poke.
Instead, he always restrained himself and let the boiling water cool down. As a result, when he didn't expect it, Miss Peng always looked at him with a bit of resentment in her eyes.
After settling in Cui Yuanlie's place, Xia Xun and Peng Ziqi returned to the Yang Mansion amidst the gratitude of Cui Yuanlie and Zhu Shanbi, a pair of young lovers. The group of women who recommended themselves had been sent away by Manager Xiao, and Manager Xiao said seriously
Drinking water dryly, when he saw Xia Xun coming back, he quickly came up to him and said, "Young Master!"
Xia Xun looked outside and said with lingering fear: "Are those people gone?"
Manager Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "Let's go. They come and go every day. They are noisy all day long. I can hardly care about doing serious things. I finally have some leisure time. Master, I have a few things that I need to tell you."
explain."
As soon as Manager Xiao said he had something serious to do, Peng Ziqi immediately walked away consciously, walked to the corridor, and stood there with his hands folded, as if he was admiring the scenery of the garden. Well, he was very sensible and well-behaved.
The problem is... Miss Peng's hearing is super good. It's not just that martial arts practitioners have slightly better discernment than ordinary people, but a kind of talent. Her father's martial arts is much better than hers, but his hearing is inferior to hers.
Duoduo, there is no one in the whole Peng family who has better hearing than her. Miss Peng, she is a woman and she has never wanted to be a gentleman.
Manager Xiao said: "The first one is that shopkeeper Lin Beixia Lin has raised all the money to redeem the shares and sent a letter asking the young master when you will come over and the money and the deed will be cleared. The second As for the two of you, the batch of iron materials contacted by the young master will be shipped in the near future. At that time, it will be resold through Qingzhou Prefecture. A large amount of iron materials will enter the city, and the Qi Wangfu will need to send personnel to take care of it to avoid being investigated by the people of Qingzhou Prefecture. Coming out is always a trouble, so I have to ask the young master to take care of Prince Qi's house.
As for the third one, the workshops we 'lost' have been transferred to Cao Yuguang and Jiang Zhiqing. Should the money recovered be loaned out in the short term, or should the bulk of it be transferred to Yingtian now and kept there? Part of it will be given to the young master for Peking. I need to ask the young master to give me accurate information on this matter. The last one... There is a wedding happening at the Sun Family Pharmacy the day after tomorrow. I have sent an invitation to the Geng officials. I wonder if you can go, young master? Prepare some gifts and tell Lao Xiao to take care of them."
Xia Xun was shocked: "The Sun family is going to get married? So soon..."
"ah?"
Manager Xiao looked at him with some confusion. Xia Xun regained his composure, waved his hand and said: "It's nothing. There is no need to deliver the letter to Yuan Lin. I will go there in the afternoon. Regarding the iron materials entering the city, I went to the Lin family pawnshop. Just go to the palace to see Eunuch Shu and ask him to pay attention. We now have a lot of money on hand and can't use it in the trip to Peking. You can gradually move to Yingtian now and find a few banks with good reputation and strong foundation. For the time being, Lend it out.”
Manager Xiao responded repeatedly, keeping it in his mind.
Xia Xun pondered for a moment and then said: "What about the marriage in Sun Mansion..."
Miss Peng, who was standing on the porch pretending to look at the clouds, trees and scenery, moved her ears slightly and listened more carefully. She now knew that Xia Xun was Xia Xun, not Yang Wenxuan, the prodigal son who hooked up with Sun's mother and daughter. I'm very curious about how Xia Xun plans to deal with the bad debt Yang Wenxuan left him.
Xia Xun pondered for a moment, then his heart suddenly moved, and he quickly asked: "What kind of guests have been invited? Will An Yuanwai be there too?"
Manager Xiao said: "Old Xiao only heard from people in the Sun Mansion that this time they are going to do something grand and invite many relatives, friends, and gentry who have contacts with each other. Yuan An and Yuan Geng are also acquaintances, so they must go. "
Xia Xun secretly rejoiced: "Fat An is like a frightened bird now. He doesn't dare to contact me at all. I have no chance to fool him with some lies. But this kid is greedy for money, and the Sun family is his big buyer. This time, we are going to get married." , I must have bought more silk from him. Due to human kindness, he has no reason not to go. In this case, I will have the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with him."
Thinking of this, Xia Xun said: "Okay. You go and prepare some gifts such as silk and wedding cakes for twenty guan. In addition, you prepare a set of jade jewelry for your head and face when the Sun Mansion holds a wedding. I’m going to go that day.”
Manager Xiao didn't ask any more questions, nodded and said, "Yes. Old Xiao has written it all down. If the young master has nothing else to do, then... Old Xiao will go do it."
Xia Xun nodded and watched Manager Xiao go out. He slowly walked out of the study and stood under the corridor outside the living room. He was standing on both sides of the corridor with Peng Ziqi, who was standing with his hands behind his hands.
The autumn mood is getting stronger, and the shadows of the trees are getting deeper. Looking around, the sky is high and the clouds are vast, blue and snow-white, forming a deep and vast world.
Xia Xun raised his eyes and looked at the clouds, thinking leisurely: "As long as she gets married, I won't have any worries. Miao Yi is still an uncertain young woman. If she gives up this thought, she will marry her husband after getting married.
Live your life well. It’s time to put an end to Yang Wenxuan’s bad relationship."
The night is dark.
Peng Ziqi sat alone on the eaves, holding a wine flask in his hand, drinking alone while looking at the moon, looking at the three of them.
She had never been so troubled by Yang Xu before. At that time, although she had secret feelings, she knew Yang Xu's character, so she always insisted on not letting herself really fall in love. Although she often couldn't help it, she couldn't help it.
She didn't fall too deep. But since she knew that Yang Xu was not Yang Xu, the shackles of her soul were opened, and she was inevitably disturbed by love.
Xia Xun... is now replaced by the identity of Yang Xu. Yang Xu is a member of the gentry and a gentry. A family like her cannot reach such a high level. What's more, he has an unmarried wife in his hometown. Originally, it was because of his shameless behavior
, she can restrain her feelings, but now she can't love even if she wants to.
"What should I do?"
Peng Ziqi sighed deeply, lay down on the ridge of the roof, pillowed his arms, and looked up at the sky.
There were stars in the sky, sparkling like her eyes.
"How did my grandpa marry Tai Nai? Well, I think about it. Two steamed buns, a bowl of vegetable porridge, and Tai Nai, who was starving to death, came to my family. But he was not that miserable yet. Uh.
…Grandma Third Gu, Grandma Third Gu robbed a poor scholar…”
She touched the tip of her nose and wanted to laugh: "Those were troubled times, now...it won't work."
"Oh, it's so annoying! He used to flirt with people, but they didn't want to pay attention to him. Now he wants to flirt with him, but he backs off. What a stinky man!"
Peng Ziqi waved her hand bitterly, as if to wave away the troubles in her heart. She looked up at the stars in the sky and murmured: "The March period is coming soon. That bastard doesn't seem to want to stay with me at all..."
Peng Ziqi sighed resentfully, and suddenly there was a faint sound in his ears.
Peng Ziqi suddenly sat up and looked around. There was silence in the courtyard, and there was no sound. The sound just now was gone.
Peng Ziqi did not give up. Her hearing was surprisingly good. She believed that she heard correctly. The sound came from Xia Xun's inner study, and no one went there at night. She was very responsible and treated the people in the Yang family's backyard at night.
The distribution and various arrangements of the back house are clear.
Peng Ziqi pressed the roof tile, and it fell to the ground like a feather. He pressed the handle of the knife tightly and touched towards the study.
"Where the hell is this? So many rooms!"
The door lock had been broken by Li Dayin. He could only gently close the door, waved the fire cover and looked around. He couldn't help but feel sad: "Damn, it looks like a study room. What's going on with that boy Yang Xu at night?"
Might sleep here."
Li Dayin blew out the fire fold and put it into the sleeve and hid it in his arms again. Just as he was about to tiptoe out, something suddenly moved in his heart: "Wait a minute, the study, the things placed in the study are usually the most important things. My lady asked Yang Xu
Will the loan contract be here? If I find it and destroy it, and then find Yang Xu and kill him, won’t the debt not have to be repaid?"
Li Dayin did what he thought of, closed the curtains again, excitedly shook the fire folder to ignite the light, and then rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the room to find it.
