31. Chapter 31

Jiang Rong's face changed greatly, she stood up suddenly, and pointed at the other two angrily: "You, you!" ”

Chonglan was shocked, and immediately wanted to stand up and explain, but thinking that he and Jiang Rong were not related now, it seemed that there was no need to rush to clarify, so he could only say lightly: "When I met a bandit in Jiangzhong, I accidentally lost my shoes, and I ordered someone to look for them but didn't find them, but now it seems that I should have been accidentally found by Lord Yan." She said and got up: "Thank you Lord Yan for your help." ”

Jiang Rong was so angry that her heart trembled, and she asked, "How does he know what shoes you are wearing, and he specially picked them up?" What the hell is the relationship between the two of you! ”

Chonglan listened to his questioning, and became more and more unhappy in her heart, not to mention that she and Yan He were innocent, even if the two of them really had something, they couldn't let him ask questions for the time being, she ordered Qingge to pick up the shoes and put them back in the box, and forcibly suppressed the displeasure and said: "It's common to see people in trouble, it's common to help them, why is it so unbearable to get to Jiang Gongzi?" ”

Yan He held the teacup and sipped lightly, his expression was leisurely, he didn't seem to see the disputes in the hall, Jiang Rong listened to Chonglan's argument, and became more and more annoyed in her heart, she said three good words in a row, and brushed her sleeves away, Chonglan's upper body shook, as if she wanted to chase, but she couldn't help it, or Xi Xuetian knew his difficulties, and strode out without saying a word.

Jiang Rong waited for someone to go out to chase him, deliberately slowed down, heard the footsteps coming from behind, but looked at Xi Xuetian with a side eye, the hands in his sleeves were clenched, and his steps slowed down a few points, and he was pulled by Xi Xuetian, who caught up later, and said with a smile: "Our host hasn't kept any guests yet, what is Jiang Gongzi doing in such a hurry?" ”

Jiang Rong waved his hand away and sneered: "Your host's guests are in the hall, seeing that it is a big and tall branch, wouldn't it be good for me to stay any longer?" ”

Xi Xuetian was slightly angry in his heart, thinking that Chonglan had helped this Jiang Xiucai a lot openly and secretly these days, and now he was so mean when he didn't agree with him, it was simply a favor and revenge! He was annoyed in his heart, but he also knew that today's events could not be spread, so he still smiled slightly: "Why does Gongzi Jiang want to hurt people? Our host doesn't owe anything to the son, the son comes to be a guest, our host entertains, Lord Yan comes to be a guest, and our host has to entertain. As for what happened in the hall, it was really unexpected. ”

Although Jiang Rong still couldn't grasp Chonglan's thoughts, she subconsciously regarded herself as her object of discussion, and when she heard that he was still clearing up the relationship between the two, she sneered in a weird manner: "The shopkeeper Xi is worthy of following the third lady for many years, you know what she thinks clearly, and everything can be done for her, I'm afraid that if the third miss gets married in the future, she won't be as close as you." ”

Xi Xuetian's face remained unchanged, and he still smiled: "This is the child's joke, he is a slave below, and he is a subordinate of the owner, and the owner trusts, so I naturally have to take care of it, otherwise it will be difficult to protect my job." He said with a straight look and said: "The prince also reads the books of sages, and he should abide by etiquette, how can he discuss women's marriages in vain?" ”

Jiang Rong also felt that she had just made a mistake in speaking. identity, but I can't pull my face to admit my mistakes. Xi Xuetian looked down a little more and more in his heart, his face was not obvious, and he sighed: "Our owner is a businessman, and there is no reason to push the guests who come to do business out, this is also forced by livelihood, what Lord Yan says and does has nothing to do with our owner, but the owner is also afraid of rumors, but Jiang Gongzi is a righteous man, and naturally he will not spread it like that idle person in the market." ”

These words are equivalent to clearing Chonglan and Yan He, Jiang Rong's face was slightly relaxed, and she barely squeezed the word 'en' from her throat, and then said: "There is no wind and no waves, there are not many women doing business, and the third lady herself should be cautious, otherwise why didn't the person surnamed Yan find someone else, just find her?" ”

Is this saying that Chonglan behaves in a disorderly manner? Xi Xuetian's face sank, then put aside this topic, and said with an indifferent smile: "I invited my son to go to Qunxian Building to set up a banquet, and it should be an apology for today's events." ”

Jiang Rong said coldly, no need, and turned around and walked out of the mansion. Seeing that he was still unhappy on his face, Xi Xuetian secretly frowned, and turned back.

Chonglan sat in the hall, and he didn't have the heart to speak for a while, but Yan He rolled up his sleeves and asked with interest: "This person is your fiancΓ©e?" ”

Chonglan was annoyed with him in his heart, and when he heard this straightforward question, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord Yan is cautious, he is just an old neighbor of our family, and he just came to visit." ”

Yan He tilted his head and said in a loud voice: "It's just an old neighbor, why are you so angry when you see your pair of shoes?" ”

Chonglan heard what he said, and opened his mouth to push back: "I am not related to the adult, just a pair of shoes, why did you send them over?" ”

Yan He was stunned, lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "How can I be the same as him?" This was too ambiguous, she moved awkwardly, and listened to him say slowly: "It was you who fished it out of the river at the beginning, and it can be regarded as a kindness, how can I bear to let the objects related to your name fall into the hands of others?" ”

This is a half-truth, he heard that Chonglan sent someone to the shore to look for it, and casually ordered someone to look for it, he thought that if he couldn't find it, he didn't expect to find it, and he could have sent his subordinates to send it over, but he came to the door in person.

Chonglan thought that this embroidered shoe might have been touched by him, so he felt uncomfortable, his face was slightly feverish, and he waved his hand weakly and said, "That's really Master Lao." ”

Yan He saw that her face was expressionless, thinking that she was still angry about Jiang Xiucai's seizure of the door, he secretly frowned, and looked her up and down a few times: "How much is this hand stove in your hand worth?" ”

Chong Lan looked down at his gilded hollow flower and bird hand stove, and didn't know what he meant, so he replied casually: "It's only gilded, but it's only thirty or forty taels of silver, which is not a first-class object." ”

He said softly: "It's not a high-quality object, but what if it's a precious object in your house?" Dare to ask what Jiang Xiucai does for a living? How long will it take to afford a hand stove like yours? ”

Chonglan was slightly stunned, the anger in his heart eased a lot, and asked thoughtfully, "What do you mean by adult?" ”

The tea in his hand was already cold, he put it down casually, and his white ten fingers were clasped on his legs: "It's okay, just say a few words at will." He paused for a moment and glanced at her: "The Tao is not the same." ”

Xi Xuetian also persuaded these words a few times, but she didn't pay much attention to it, and Yan He said that she had a feeling of being sudden, she was not short of money, and she was naturally very delicate to herself, but Jiang Xiucai might not think like this, but now it's better to say, if she really wants to live in the future, it is inevitable that she is too extravagant, if she is asked to pay everywhere, he can't guarantee that he won't think about anything, if he asks him to pay, he can't get so much money.

It is unbearable to have such money coming and going, but Chonglan feels that living a life is firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the story of the rich lady and the poor scholar is still more realistic for An An to stay in the book, marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating, at least a man must be able to support his family and support the door.

After she figured it out, her mood suddenly brightened, and she smiled at Yan He Canran and said, "Thank you for mentioning it." ”

Yan He was slightly stunned, and then turned his head uncomfortably: "It's just gossip." ”

She turned her head and saw that Yan and the teacup were slightly cold, and the people on the left and right were sent away, so she smiled at Yan Yan, personally lifted the teapot and poured tea for him, and said with a smile: "This is the big red robe of tribute, my lord taste it." ”

He turned his head and saw her slender and well-proportioned hand, and when he opened the pot, there was a shallow vortex on the back of his white hand, he squinted, and then turned his gaze, and saw her hand over the hot teacup, and subconsciously reached out to pick it up, and his fingers coldly crossed the back of her hand, causing both of them to tremble slightly.

She smiled with a disguised smile, "Your Excellency, please use it." ”

Yan He pursed his lips, hummed, and took a shallow sip, although it was tea poured out of the same purple clay pot, this one was better than the previous one. He tasted it carefully, put down the teacup and raised his lips and smiled: "When he leaves like this, I'm afraid he will never come over again." Do you regret it? ”

Chonglan said: "There is nothing in the first place, there is nothing to regret." After she finished speaking, she smiled and said, "Could it be that I really regret it, and the adults will compensate me again?" ”

She was used to laughing with Yan He when she was He Lanlan, and as soon as she said this, she felt that she was formless, but as if she was teasing others, she turned her head slightly and talked about gossip at will.

Yan He also heard something else, and he didn't feel annoyed in his heart, just glanced at her lightly. Putting aside the familiarity that is difficult to ignore, Chonglan himself is also very likable, he is funny and witty when he speaks, and he doesn't blindly care about himself, and throws out the words from time to time, seeing that he doesn't want to talk deeply, he immediately changes the topic without a trace, and they talk very happily after coming and going.

There weren't many people who could talk to him, he listened carefully, sometimes interjecting a few words at random, and when he heard Chonglan talk about the business of going to sea, he suddenly turned his head and asked: "The sea ban of the Qi Dynasty has been in place since the β–‘β–‘ Emperor, why can you go to sea to do business?" ”

Chonglan thought of the overseas craftsmen he asked last time, and his heart inevitably beat the drum, and he responded calmly: "My lord doesn't know, I am also an imperial merchant after all, so naturally I have some concessions, and the sea has been banned for hundreds of years, but there are not a few people who go to sea to trade, where can I ban it?" ”

Yan He hummed: "If you can make a difference in the south, you naturally can't do without the support of the official." After a slight pause, he glanced at it again, and said with a smile: "But if officials want to have political achievements, they also need the help of the local gentry, which has been the case since ancient times." ”

This seemed to imply something, and before Chonglan could figure it out, he got up with his robe and said calmly: "It's not too early, I should go back too." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chonglan again, and she said very respectfully: "I must go to the adult's house in a few days to pay a visit, and the adult should not dislike it at that time." ”

Yan He showed a satisfied look on his face, but he still said lightly: "If you are busy, you can not come." ”

Of course, Chonglan would not take the kind words seriously, and repeatedly promised that he would definitely come to the mansion to pay a visit, so he sent him out of the mansion, but when he went back, he found Xi Xuetian waiting in the side hall, and after she entered, she asked, "Can you send him back?" ”
