150 Caught off guard
It's been a few days since she came back from Quanfu Building, but Shen Junqian still can't help but think of the conversation between her and Xu Zhuqing at the end.
Originally, Shen Junqian was just a little curious, and he was both a relative and very familiar with Xu Zhuqing, so he naturally had no scruples, so he inevitably broke the casserole and asked the end for a while, asking why he had been secretly helping each other, but he never thought that it would be the answer in the end.
That day, Shen Junqian asked Xu Zhuqing why he secretly helped again and again.
The Shen family and the Xu family have kinship, Xu Zhuqing and the second room of the Shen family are also very close, if Shen Junqian, as the sixth girl of the Shen family, is blocked from opening a store, Xu Zhuqing can help no matter what considerations he has, the only thing that makes Shen Junqian puzzled is why he is not generous, but he looks like he has lost the family demeanor when he hides the picture like this.
"Why, where are there so many reasons, can't I or shouldn't help my sister?"
Of course you can, it's just, "Cousin Xu knows what I'm asking, not this." ”
Shen Junqian clearly remembered that when he said this, Xu Zhuqing's hand holding the tea paused for a moment, and then Xu Zhuqing's eyes like the sea stared at Shen Junqian for a while, and Shen Junqian could even clearly see his stubborn and puzzled expression from the reflection of those eyes.
It was probably because Shen Junqian tried too hard to show stubbornness at that time, so that he couldn't hear Xu Zhuqing's excuse for refusing jokingly at the beginning.
"It's not this or that, I'm your cousin in terms of relatives, and I'm in love with your brothers, isn't it normal to help you?"
"If it's normal, why do you keep deliberately hiding your identity?"
"How do you know it's on purpose? How do you know that it's not my usual style?"
"I remember that the third brother told me, whether in Cangwu Academy or in the Xu family, everyone said that the eleventh lang of the Xu family has always been glorious and generous, and his style of acting has always been a gentleman, does my cousin want to tell me that these are all wrong, and the third brother deceived me?"
"Whether it's bright or bright, it doesn't mean that I have to tell the world everything I do. ”
"I don't need to tell the world about this, just let me know, or tell my parents and brother to know, but my cousin doesn't seem to have done this, and he also intends to avoid the temptation of your identity that I have sent someone?"
"If you raise your hands, you will naturally give grace without asking for retribution. ”
If Shen Junqian knew at the time, he would have asked that answer later, perhaps......
Unfortunately, some things are not avoidable after all.
Xu Zhuqing's repeated evasion not only did not make Shen Junqian retreat, but even aroused Shen Junqian's heart to explore the source, and even did not hesitate to use words to provoke Xu Zhuqing for a while, and finally said-
"If I say that the reason can't be known to a third person, will Sister Qian also listen to it?"
The room was silent, and Shen Junqian's eyes couldn't help but flicker, if it weren't for Xu Zhuqing's burning gaze, he probably wouldn't have seen this subtle change.
Originally, Xu Zhuqing thought that this time could only end here, and some emotions that could not tell whether it was disappointment or chagrin had risen in his heart, but after a period of silence, Shen Junqian instructed the clothes and Xingyu on the side: "Didn't the little brother say that he wanted to eat the crab roe soup dumplings here when we came out, you two go and ask, can you let the master of Quanfulou make a drawer, and by the way, pick out some new snacks, pack them together, and take them back for a while." ”
"Yes. Without waiting for Xingyu to open his mouth, he answered first, and simply dragged Xingyu away, who obviously wanted to say something.
Xu Si beside Xu Zhuqing is also a clever person, and without waiting for Xu Zhuqing to signal first, he also withdrew.
"I didn't expect Sister Coriander to be a persistent person. Almost the moment Xu Si brought it to the door, Xu Zhuqing's expression was a little more inexplicably cautious.
"I'm not necessarily a persistent person, but I'm certainly not someone who likes to run away from trouble. After a pause, Shen Junqian didn't mean to explain but asked, "If it wasn't for my cousin's people to deliberately reveal it this time, I think those people I arranged would just be afraid that they wouldn't be able to find my cousin here, right?"
"Actually, back then, I only occasionally heard that you had some trouble opening a store in Jinling with a hidden identity, but I just signaled to the shopkeeper of the Xu family in charge of related business in Jinling to give you some convenience, and I didn't do anything. At that time, I saw that you deliberately concealed your identity, and I didn't want people to think of you through the relationship between the Xu and Shen families, so I didn't reveal my identity when I acted back then. ”
Shen Junqian thought about it for a while and knew that what Xu Zhuqing said was true, he was still young when he first opened a shop in Jinling, and it took less than half a year to Jinling, so he just thought that with his unknown experience and insight, he would definitely be able to thrive in Jinling, and finally caused a lot of trouble and jokes, and finally relied on the identity of the Shen family and the daughter of Jinling Zhizhou to barely stand on his feet.
However, that's not what I want to ask!
"Then why did you suddenly deliberately leave clues for my people to trace their roots and find your cousin this time?"
"Intentionally leaving clues...... I know what you're worried about, since I'm not a scheming person, and the people below are just going to go wrong, and since it's providential, I just let it be. ”
Shen Junqian pondered for a while, got up and solemnly saluted Xu Zhuqing, "It's me who was reckless, and I hope my cousin will forgive me." ”
"Although my cousin just said a little convenience, but over the years, the know-it-all from my side to the shopkeeper and the guy who knew about it all knew that I, the sixth girl of the Shen family, opened a shop in Jinling to do business, in addition to the Shen family and my father, the Jinling Zhizhou, behind the scenes, there is also a mysterious nobleman in the business field to help. It's just that this person has never been seen mysteriously, and many people have speculated, but they think that it is the relatives and friends of the Shen family or my father who secretly helped, and even those who have an in-law relationship with my Shen family have been guessed repeatedly. ”
Seeing that Xu Zhuqing was still sitting upright as usual, his expression did not move, Shen Junqian smiled and continued: "It's the Xu family, the reputation of the descendants who are good at managing it, and the Shen family is in-laws, which should be suspected of being the focus, but I don't know why, among the many speculations, I have never heard anyone mention the Xu family, not to mention that cousin, you, the eleventh lang of the Xu family, have been studying in Jinling, cousin, do you know why?"
"Xu is outsiders feel that since I, the young master of the Xu family, am in Jinling, and I often go in and out of the Zhizhou Mansion, and I am also very close to the Shen family, if the Xu family wants to help, why do I need such trouble. ”
"So, my cousin also feels troublesome, so why do you have to help me again and again?"
"Wait!" Before Xu Zhuqing could speak, Shen Junqian raised his hand to stop him, "Since it's all said and done, cousin should stop using excuses like gratitude for the events of the year to perfunctory me." ”
Xu Zhuqing lowered his eyebrows slightly, then raised his head and looked at Shen Junqian with burning eyes and said, "Okay, Sister Qian's words have already said this, if I push back again, I shouldn't." ”
"When I heard about the setback of Sister Qian's store in the Shen Mansion, I really gave a quick order, but I didn't pay much attention to it later, but the people below know that I have a good relationship with the second room of the Shen family over the years, so I can't help but be a little flexible and make my own opinions. Later, the following people came to report, and I found out. I know Sister Qian's character.,I've always disliked others to interfere more.,Fortunately, they're still smart and don't think they're doing anything.,Just pay more attention.。 So when I found out, I unexpectedly found that Sister Qian still had so many wonderful ideas. ”
After taking a sip of tea, Xu Zhuqing continued: "Sister Coriander may not know, although I secretly seem to help you a lot, but Sister Qian's whimsical ideas in the store have actually helped me a lot, a few shops and a few related businesses under my name because of these strange ideas, but I don't make less money! ”
"I won't be busy talking. As if he knew what Shen Junqian was going to say, Xu Zhuqing raised his hand to stop it: "In business, Sister Qian should know that this is the right thing to do, and a layer of profit is really nothing." ”
Shen Junqian knew what Xu Zhuqing meant, just like someone in his ready-to-wear shop had drawn a new trick, and it was the same to buy it with his own money, and thinking that what Xu Zhuqing said was really nothing if it was only a layer of profit, so he swallowed the words that came to his mouth and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Shen Junqian agreed, Xu Zhuqing continued to say: "I can't help but pay more attention to you when I find those whimsical ideas of Sister Qian, but the more I pay attention, the more I feel that you are different." ”
"If you just want to see what other ideas you have at first, you slowly become involuntary and begin to understand all your thoughts, although you know that you prefer to solve your own troubles, but you can't help but help you when you see your troubles and think of a solution. ”
"Originally, I didn't understand why I was like this, Sister Coriander, do you know why?"
Shen Junqian half-lowered her eyes at this time, and seemed to be not listening at all, but fortunately, Xu Zhuqing didn't really want to ask an answer, and she began to talk to herself again: "Probably these changes are too subtle, and I didn't even notice it for a while, until someone reminded me a while ago, and it wasn't until recently that Sister Qian frequently dispatched people to find out the person who has been helping you behind your back, and I suddenly found out." ”
"For the question I've always wanted to ask, I was thinking about why a while ago, whether I was out of gratitude to the Shen family or my feelings with your brothers, I shouldn't have secretly helped you for so many years. I didn't understand it at first, but then I thought about it for a long time, and finally I figured it out, because—"
Xu Zhuqing paused, and waited for Shen Junqian to raise his eyes to look over, and then he said a word, a sentence that was shocking.
"Sister Qian, I like you!" 166 Reading Network
