Seeing Chan Juanlian walking towards this side, the two of us were facing her, I don't know how he was, but my smile was still a little stiff in a hurry.

I asked, "What is it about her?" ”

Liu Qinghan also smiled at Chanjuan and said softly: "I have calculated by myself that after your cousin obtained this family business, nearly half of the increase in production over the past few decades is not in the account. ”

“……”

Money again?

I don't know why it's funny, I immediately laughed, and he frowned slightly: "What are you laughing at?" ”

I said: "You people, the emperor told me in the capital that money is enough to give people a headache, you are a student of Fu Badai, how can you also use the word 'money'?" If you want the old man to know, he will definitely scold you - vulgar and unbearable! ”

He smiled faintly: "He scolded me, and that's not all." ”

Seeing that Chanjuan had already walked onto the promenade on the water, I asked, "Then what do you want me to do?" ”

"I want a different butler."

I turned my head to look at him.

He also glanced at me: "I want my own people." ”

“……”

At this time, Chanjuan had already walked in front of us, and said with a smile: "Third master, Miss Yan, didn't bother the two of you, right?" ”

We all shook our heads: "No." ”

Probably because the two of us answered too consistently, but we both felt a little problematic, Chanjuan is not a smart and outgoing woman, and she also raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at us.

"We're just chatting."

"We're looking at the scenery."

……

After saying this, I felt that my teeth were sore, and I turned my head to look at him, but I saw that he said without changing his face: "The weather is good today, and the scenery is quite good." ”

Chanjuan looked at me, then at him, and finally smiled: "Yes." ”

If this topic continues, probably he and I will really not be able to get around today, Liu Qinghan took a step forward: "What's the matter?" ”

Chanjuan straightened her face and said, "Third master, Wen Ruyu paid thirty red tickets from the account office yesterday, totaling 30,000 taels. ”

"I know, I'm on it."

"This is the third time in the past six months that he has spent such a large amount of silver."

"yes, I know."

Chanjuan looked at him, Liu Qinghan still let her look at it without changing her face, and after being silent for a while, Chanjuan nodded: "I know." ”

Liu Qinghan also nodded, and then said, "How to arrange the people brought by Miss Yan, the two of you can discuss it." ”

After saying that, he took the sword hanging from the pillar and walked away on his own.

Chanjuan and I stood in the water pavilion, watching him slowly walk from the watery corridor to the bluestone path, far away, she turned around and smiled softly at me, and I smiled too.

I said, "It seems that Miss Chanjuan has worked very hard." ”

She also smiled: "It's all used to doing it on weekdays." ”

"Oh......"

"However, before this, I really didn't expect that Miss Yan would have such a deep friendship with the third master."

"Didn't anyone tell you?"

"I only know about the third master's previous affairs in Yangzhou and in the capital, but it seems that there are not many parts related to Miss Yan."

Her words made me stunned for a moment.

Thinking about it again, I laughed too.

Indeed, in retrospect, about Liu Qinghan's life, starting from the capital, to his south to Yangzhou, to the sea, and then to Xichuan, it seems that there are not too many parts related to me, if it is really written as a legend, I will probably only be a vague shadow in the eyes of a reader.

Chanjuan looked at me and said, "But after Miss Yan entered Sichuan, she was the first to arrive in Bishan, and I realized that the two of you have a great relationship." ”

I smiled and said, "However, it is not an outsider. ”

Chanjuan was slightly stunned and looked at me.

I raised my head and watched Liu Qinghan's back disappear on the other side of the arch, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Our relationship is like this, it doesn't matter to anyone." Even if one day, one of us dies, and the other can't shed a single tear in front of others. ”

“……”

"Do you understand?"

I turned my head to look at her, and she seemed to be distracted for a moment, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and when she looked at me again after a while, the mist clearly condensed into water, and shook slightly.

"I understand," she said. ”

I laughed.

The relationship between people is very delicate. Men have to communicate with men, either they blow the same cow after drinking, or they are like-minded; But women, it's much simpler, don't talk about lofty ambitions, no career ties, live in a small world, and what can be communicated, probably: men are bad, bad men......

There is also the love of not being able to ask for it.

I took a step, turned to her, and said, "I didn't know before, it turns out that there is a you next to Qinghan." ”

"Because I'm not important," she said. ”

"Does it really not matter?" I looked at her, then at the large courtyard in front of me, which was almost endless, and said, "You just said that those things are used to doing on weekdays. I think if he didn't have you by his side, he probably wouldn't be able to wander around so casually. ”

Chanjuan didn't answer this immediately, but the thick loneliness in her eyes spread out again, looking at the courtyard in front of her, she said softly: "I just said, those are used to it." ”

"Huh?"

"Indeed, I'm really used to it, and sometimes, I'm tired of it."

“……”

"But now, I don't think so."

"Why?"

She looked at me and said, "You know, when I first knew that he was going to sea, I thought it would be the same as usual, walking for a few months, walking for a year or two, but he would still come back, even if he didn't know how to go to Yilan Courtyard, he would let people bring me some fresh little things to make me happy." ”

“……”

"But I didn't expect that this time, he wouldn't be able to come back."

I thought for a moment and said, "And no one brought back anything from him either?" ”

"There is only one red jade wrench, which was brought back by the third master."

"That's—"

"But that won't be mine."

"......" There were countless sourness in my heart for a while, a man in a woman's heart and mind, just gone, in the vast sea, it is impossible to even find him, and the only token left behind cannot belong to her anymore.

I was about to open my mouth to comfort her, but I heard her say, "But now that I'm the same, he still has a lot of things left." ”

I was stunned: "You mean-"

"These," she looked at Yilan Courtyard, then at me, "and many more." ”

“……”

"His estate."

“……”

"I'm still doing what I used to do every day, but I'm much more awake. Because I'm still doing it for him. ”

“……”

"The dream he wants to achieve, maybe I may not be able to achieve for him; But what he left behind, I will definitely protect for him. ”

“……”

I looked at her determined gaze, those clear pupils seemed to incorporate all the qiē into her own sight, and also into her own world, she was like a guardian, to guard the qiē as far as her eyes could see.

I finally understood what Liu Qinghan was worried about.

|

Chanjuan and I stayed in the water pavilion for a long time before leaving, and it was time to return to the other courtyard, and it was almost time for lunch.

When I returned to my room, I saw that Su Su was inside, still packing our luggage and putting it in the cabinet, and I asked, "Didn't you take care of Zhao Shuyuan?" ”

Su Su said: "Liu Gongzi took Shuyuan Niangniang away. ”

"Taken away?" I was stunned: "Where are you staying?" ”

"I said I was taking her for a walk and a look at the scenery."

“……”

Su Su folded a piece of clothing, put it in the cabinet, and then came over and said: "When he just came over, he almost scared Shuyuan Niangniang crazy - you know his face, but he is very patient, coaxing Zhao Shuyuan little by little, and then Shuyuan Niangniang is slowly not afraid of him, and gets close to him." ”

"Then he said, when will you bring her back?"

"I didn't say it, but I guess it's probably time for dinner."

"Oh."

Su Su guessed really well, and after about a quarter of an hour, a little servant came over and invited us to dinner.

Su Su accompanied me to follow the little guy through a long flower path, until I walked to the flower hall in the garden, at this time the weather was just right, and the garden was also blooming with all kinds of flowers, and the fragrance of the flowers was mixed with the fragrance of some wine and food, which felt a little weird.

Walking over, I saw a large round table in the flower hall, there were already a few cold dishes, Liu Qinghan was sitting there with Zhao Shuyuan, he picked up a little tofu shreds and put them on the plate in front of Shuyuan, and said softly: "Just eat a little first, and wait for everyone to come before the banquet starts, you know?" ”

Zhao Shuyuan happily picked up the chopsticks and ate them, where did she care what he said.

At this time, I saw that on the other side, Wen Hu and the leader of the shadow guard also came.

As soon as they saw me, they hurriedly came up and said, "Miss Yan." ”

"You're here too?"

"Well, they said, three--Liu Gongzi is here to pick up the wind and wash the dust for us."

At this time, Liu Qinghan had already heard our voice, he got up and walked to the door of the flower hall, and said with a smile: "Take a seat." ”

We walked over, into the table, as soon as we sat down, Chanjuan brought a few small servants to serve the food, naturally needless to say, are some good dishes with color and flavor, delicacies from the mountains and seas, he smiled: "It was too late yesterday, and it was too late to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you in a hurry." ”

I laughed and said, "It's too out-of-the-box." ”

"There should be something or there must be."

At this time, Chanjuan asked people to open a jar of wine next to it, poured it into a green jade wine pot, and as soon as the mud seal was opened, the clear aroma of wine filled the entire flower hall, and when you smelled it, you knew that there were a lot of years.

When Chanjuan put the wine jug on the table, Liu Qinghan nodded: "You go down." ”

Chanjuan didn't say anything, turned around and retreated.

I looked up at him, he got up and poured a glass of wine for me and Wen Hu, and then said, "Today's table is for Miss Yan to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and also to see off the two of you." ”
