Three days later.

Qiji and the black spider's injuries have healed a lot, and they can already get out of bed and walk around, but they still can't lightly urge the internal force, and they can't move their skills, and they have just entered the northern region, and there is still a short distance to the central and northern regions where the sand wolf faction is entrenched, and the road is dangerous, so naturally they can't venture in. For this reason, I had to wait for the injuries of Qiji and the black spider to heal before I could make the trip.

After the first few times in distress, Jin Xin realized that if he blindly relied on the power of Qiji and the black spider in the future, it would obviously be dangerous, and he must rely on other forces to ensure his own safety.

"Ma'am, why don't you call the general's secret guard back. In any case, it's more reliable than everyone else. ”

In the carriage, Ziqin said.

Jin Xin shook his head: "No, it's important to let them do something." Can't be distracted with us. ”

"But ......"

"Although Boss Ma seems to be a difficult person to deal with, he can still be trusted. This is his territory again, if he is willing to help, plus Black Spider and Qiji, it will be much safer than before. ”

"Madame, I understand your thoughts. The key, Boss Ma's thoughts on Madame......"

Ma Huatian is a northern businessman, doing jewelry, spice business, and Jin Xin has a lot of business dealings, at first he found Jin Xin to talk about business, mainly for Jin Xin's beauty and reputation, later, as soon as he saw Jin Xin himself, he was immediately shocked, it is said that it was love at first sight for Jin Xin, and since then he has frequently been close to Jin Xintao. In fact, many business processes do not require him to come forward in person, just in order to meet Jin Xin, he often works tirelessly, goes to Jin Xin in person, and tries his best to interview Jin Xin, and from time to time he has to put forward some embarrassing plans, in order to have more contact with Jin Xin.

At the beginning, when Jin Xin was still in the boudoir, he went to Lincheng from time to time, and later Jin Xin arrived in Kyoto, he also went to Kyoto, that is, later, Jin Xin and Yu Zijing got married, and he has become the world-famous Mrs. Tiance, and he still did not give up, but because of Yu Zijing's prestige, the number of times has not passed so much.

Ziqin often said that this boss Ma really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, knowing that Jin Xin Minghua had the master, he actually dared to think of something wrong.

Jin Xin naturally knows Ma Huatian's thoughts, but even if the business is so big now, it is impossible to do whatever he wants, and it is inevitable that he will need to be sent to the general place to deal with people, Ma Huatian is a giant in the north and a big business source, even if he has any thoughts, Jin Xin can't really tear his face with people.

Right now, Jin Xin has come to Ma Huatian's territory, he doesn't know, if he knows, it is not the same as a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, as the saying goes, a strong dragon can't suppress the ground snake, and what Ziqin is worried about is just this.

Jin Xin looked at Ziqin and said, "Let's just pay more attention." ”

"It's not that I'm afraid of some negligence," Ziqin said uneasily, .......

Jin Xin said: "I am now Yu Zijing's wife, even if he really eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, he doesn't dare to really anger Yu Zijing." ”

"Madame......"

As he spoke, the carriage stopped abruptly.

Jin Xin and Ziqin glanced at each other, not knowing what was going on, these few times, every time the carriage stopped, there was always a crisis coming, and they were like frightened birds, and they immediately became alert.

But I heard a deep voice outside: "Oh, when Miss Fifth arrived at my Ma's place, why didn't she inform Ma Mou's voice?" ”

This voice is a little familiar, and the self-proclaimed two "Ma" suddenly made Jin Xin hear who the owner of the voice was.

This Ma Huatian, like Bai Jun, seemed to deliberately ignore Jin Xin's identity as Yu Zijing's wife, and never changed his words, and called her the same as in the past, only calling her "Miss Five".

Jin Xin didn't bother to correct these things, so he called them.

Ziqin glanced at Jin Xin, and when she saw Jin Xin nodding, she walked over and pushed open the door of the carriage.

Outside, Ma Huatian was standing by the carriage, with a standard Chinese face, a pair of smiling eyes looking inside, and when he saw Jin Xin's beautiful appearance, his eyes suddenly lit up, adding a bit of joy.

Jin Xin walked out of the carriage with a light smile, got out of the car, and for a while, his face immediately attracted passers-by to stop and watch.

"Why is Boss Ma here? What a coincidence. ”

Jin Xin looked at Ma Huatian and didn't say anything to find him, his tone was faint and slightly surprised.

Ma Huatian looked at her with a smile and said, "Didn't I hear from the people below that I saw the woman who was suspected to be Miss Fifth staying at the Yafeng Inn and was about to find out." Unexpectedly, I ran into it on the road. ”

Jin Xin smiled: "How does Boss Ma know that I am the one sitting in this carriage?" ”

"Aren't the windows open? I saw Miss Ziqin. ”

When Jin Xin heard this, he glanced at Ziqin.

Ziqin looked at Ma Huatian and said with a smile: "Boss Ma is really good eyesight, a little person like me can recognize it." ”

"Huh." Ma Huatian waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Where can Miss Ziqin be considered a little person?" Who doesn't know that you are Miss Five's right-hand man and a good hand in business? Ma has also seen Miss Ziqin's good business methods, how can you not recognize it? ”

Ma Huatian is a businessman, and he is even more famous for his eight-sided exquisiteness, and what he says is always very good.

Ziqin listened, but smiled, and said, "Boss Ma, this is a prize, I'm embarrassed." ”

"Don't be embarrassed. What Ma said is the truth! Ma Huatian said seriously.

Ma Huatian said, his eyes turned to Jin Xin, and he was very soft: "Fifth Miss, it's better to meet by chance, since you have come to our Furong City now, as the host, I should set up a banquet to entertain you." How about inviting the fifth lady to enjoy the light and go to someone's house for a while? ”

When Ziqin heard this, she gently pulled Jin Xin's sleeve, a little worried.

Jin Xin gave her a relieved look, and then said to Ma Huatian: "In this case, it is better to be respectful." ”

Ma Huatian looked at her with a look of surprise on his face, and hurriedly said, "Please get in the car with Miss Five, and let the coachman follow my sedan chair." It's a bit of a long way, but you can't work too hard for Miss Five. ”

When Jin Xin heard this, he smiled, turned around and got into the carriage.

After Ma Huatian watched her and Ziqin get into the car, he personally stepped forward to close the carriage door for her, turned around, and sat back in his sedan chair excitedly, his voice was a little louder: "Go, go home!" ”

The butler who was guarding next to the sedan chair heard this, and hurriedly instructed the sedan chair man to carry the sedan chair, and he did not dare to delay at all and went to the horse house.

The place where Ma Huatian's mansion is located is indeed a little far away, it is a manor in the suburbs, sitting on a wide land, with a large door, just the gold lacquer dragon pattern on the door beam, it gives people a very grand and luxurious feeling.

To the inside, it is even more unique, carved corridor painting wall, rockery grass and trees, each place is full of unique ingenuity, and the most eye-catching, is the variety of gems and crystals that can be seen everywhere, dazzling, inlaid in various places, with dazzling luster, as if the finishing touch, making the whole mansion more and more high-end. Ma Huatian's identity as a jewelry merchant is vividly reflected here.

Ma Huatian walked in front, patiently and enthusiastically introduced many places in the mansion to Jin Xin, and on the way in, he almost observed most of the entire Ma Mansion.

"Fifth Miss, you're tired after walking for so long, right?" Ma Huatian looked down at Jin Xin's feet and asked.

Jin Xin smiled: "It's okay." ”

"Must be tired." Ma Huatian said to himself, and then instructed the housekeeper beside him: "Go, go over and arrange the wine and food first." ”

The housekeeper glanced at Ma Huatian, rolled his eyes, and then responded: "Yes, master!" ”

Ziqin watched from behind, only to feel that the housekeeper looked at Ma Huatian very strangely, and a feeling of uneasiness rose in his heart.

"Come, Miss Five, please come here, it's a short walk away." Ma Huatian diligently pointed to the corridor on the left and said to Jin Xin.

Jin Xin nodded and silently followed.

Ziqin watched from behind, much more cautious.

Soon, I arrived at an attic, which was different from other attics, almost all of them were made of colorful crystals, and the appearance was very magnificent and exquisite.

The layout in the attic is also very painstaking, crystal curtains can be seen everywhere, there are all kinds of famous paintings and books hanging on the wall, the incense burner on the table comes out of the curling smoke, the thread is long and long, looming, adding a little hazy beauty, the faint fragrance rushes into the nose, Jin Xin recognizes, what is burned here is the fragrance of Ming Lan. This is the outer room, a few steps past, there is a half-arch, separated by a crystal curtain, inside, there seems to be another world.

Jin Xin looked at the shadowy furnishings inside, frowned slightly, and Ma Huatian didn't notice the fleeting look.

Not long after arriving at the attic, I saw the butler come in with a column of maids, and then there were delicacies on the round table, and there were three dishes of soup alone.

Ma Huatian beckoned Jin Xin to take a seat: "Fifth Miss, Miss Ziqin, please take a seat." ”

Jin Xin sat down with a smile, but Ziqin waved his hand: "Thank you Boss Ma for inviting me to sit, but after all, I am a maid, and it is not easy to sit down." ”

"Ah, that's what I said. Miss Ziqin is vain, I believe that our fifth lady has never seen you as a maid. ”

Ziqin smiled: "If the rules don't match, it's better to understand it." ”

Ma Huatian saw it and wanted to say something, but Jin Xin said: "Boss Ma, just follow Ziqin." ”

Seeing Jin Xin say this, Boss Ma frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything, smiled, and revealed the topic.

The butler brought up the wine and filled it for the two of them.

Ma Huatian raised his glass: "Fifth Miss, this is the hibiscus wine that our Furong City is proud of, and the taste is different from other wines." Fifth Miss, come to our Hibiscus and say, this Hibiscus is a must-try. ”

Jin Xin looked at the wine in the cup, smiled, and said: "Boss Ma's kindness should not be refused, it's just that I've not been in good health recently, and the doctor told me to avoid wine and spicy food, I'm afraid, I won't have the honor to taste this glass of wine this time." ”

When Ma Huatian heard this, he was stunned, "Fifth Miss, this shouldn't be a prevarication, right?" ”

Jin Xin smiled: "Boss Ma, don't you believe me?" ”

"Oh, how can I be." When Ma Huatian heard this, he shook his head with a smile, and said, "In this case, I will let people prepare it when I go back, and Miss Fifth will take it, and my body will be better in the future, so I can drink it again." ”

Jin Xin said: "Then, I will thank Boss Ma." ”

"Come, eat, eat!"

Ma Huatian beckoned Jin Xin to eat.

Jin Xin ate, but didn't eat much.

Ma Huatian always paid attention to her expression and asked, "What, isn't the food delicious?" Miss Five doesn't look like she's having an appetite. Or is it not to the taste, or am I going to have the kitchen remake a few Southern dishes? ”

Jin Xin smiled: "No need Boss Ma." The meals were delicious, mostly on my own and not much of an appetite. ”

"What's wrong?"

Ma Huatian looked at her with a worried look on her face and asked, "Could it be that Miss Fifth has encountered something troublesome?" If Miss Fifth doesn't mind, you can sue someone, although I am not talented, maybe I can help a little. ”

Jin Xin glanced at Ma Huatian, stopped talking, and finally sighed: "Forget it, it's better not to involve Boss Ma." ”

When Ma Huatian heard this, he was anxious: "What is Miss Fifth talking about!" Miss Five, I've known each other for so many years, what kind of person is I, Ma, isn't it clear to Miss Five? Regarding the matter of Miss Five, I, Ma, am definitely the first one who is obligated to go to the soup and do not hesitate to do so. Therefore, Miss Five doesn't have to treat me as an outsider, if there is any difficulty, please be sure to sue Ma! ”

Jin Xin looked at Ma Huatian and just shook his head: "Boss Ma values me so much, I am really grateful." However, it is not simple, and it is still ......"

"Oh, Miss Five, you don't have to hide it, tell Sù Ma!"

Ziqin looked at it, and interjected at this time: "Boss Ma, our young lady doesn't want to involve Boss Ma either." ”

Ma Huatian looked at Ziqin, "Miss Ziqin, you don't have to hide it, tell Ma the truth." ”

"Ziqin, don't talk too much."

Jin Xin snorted Ziqin, Ziqin glanced at her and shut up.

Jin Xin smiled at Ma Huatian and said, "Okay, Boss Ma, let's eat vegetables, don't mention unhappy things." ”

Seeing this, Ma Huatian looked thoughtful, but he didn't ask again, and smiled.

Soon, after eating, Ma Huatian wanted to invite Jin Xin to visit the house again, but Jin Xin proposed to leave under the pretext that it was not early.

Ma Huatian stayed a few times, but he couldn't keep it, so he had to let him go, but he insisted on sending Jin Xin back in person.

Jin Xin pushed it a few times, but it didn't succeed, so he accepted it.

Soon, I returned to the Yafeng Inn.

Jin Xin went in front of him, Ziqin followed behind, but Ma Huatian stopped Ziqin and called people to the side.

He asked, "Miss Ziqin, what happened to these five young ladies?" ”

Ziqin looked inside, and said with an embarrassed face: "Boss Ma, our wife doesn't want to involve you, so it's better not to ask." ”

"Hey! Miss Ziqin, why are you so unhappy today! You should also know that I am sincere to Miss Five, although Ma is not talented, he can be regarded as the number one person in this north, and he is more or less a useless person in Yueyin. I can't help Miss Five! ”

When Ziqin heard this, she frowned and hesitated.

"Ziqin girl......"

"Okay. Boss Ma, I'll sue you. Ziqin seemed to have made up her mind, looked at Ma Huatian, and said: "Actually, Boss Ma, our trip to the north this time is mainly because a batch of our important goods were robbed before, and Madame found out some news, so she planned to come to find out the situation in person." Who knows, as soon as he entered the north, he was attacked and assassinated one after another, and he was in danger several times. Just a few days ago, we were just about to leave Furong City, and we met a killer again, this time the killer was much more powerful than the previous one, and injured our guards, if someone hadn't come to the rescue, I'm afraid that Boss Ma wouldn't have seen us today. At the moment, the guards are all injured, and the only way to do this is to wait for them to heal, but even if they do, the future is still dangerous, and I don't know what else will happen. It's a big fate to be able to avoid it once or twice, but I'm afraid I can't be so fatal every time. Madame is worried about this matter right now. ”

Ma Huatian listened to Ziqin's words, and the more he went to the back, the more ugly his face became, and he said angrily: "Who is so bold that he dares to do something to Miss Five, it's really bold!" ”

He looked very angry, and his voice was very loud.

Ziqin was frightened, and hurriedly made a silent gesture and said, "Boss Ma, be quiet!" ”

"Our wife was in distress several times on the road this time, and she always felt that it was unusual, and it was also because she was worried that it would affect Boss Ma, so although she came to Furong City this time, she didn't dare to disturb Boss Ma, for fear of bringing trouble to Boss Ma. I also saw that Boss Ma really cared about our wife very much, so I dared to tell the truth. Boss Ma, just listen to it, and then treat it as if you don't know. Otherwise, Madame will find out and blame me. ”

Ma Huatian glanced at Ziqin deeply and said, "Miss Ziqin, don't worry, since I know about this matter, I will try my best to help." I'll go back and make arrangements, and I won't let you be in danger again. ”

With that, Ma Huatian turned around and left.

The steps are very fast, as if they are in a hurry.

Ziqin watched him leave over there before turning around and going back inside, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Jin Xin sitting on the seat on the side waiting for her.

Ziqin walked over.

Jin Xin glanced up at her and asked, "How is it?" ”

"He said he'd deal with it."

Jin Xin smiled: "Since he is willing to take the initiative to help, it is the best." In any case, he is also a figure in the north, and with his intervention, we will be much safer. ”

Ziqin looked at Jin Xin and said, "Madam, I went to Mafu just now, did Madam notice?" ”

"You mean the Crystal Pavilion?"

"Hmm."

"There are some things that you don't know."

Jin Xin said lightly.

As she was talking, a person came behind her, and a voice came from her head: "I really have the ability, I actually thought of asking Ma Huatian to help as a shield." Cunning woman. ”

Jin Xin frowned slightly, didn't look at the person behind him, put down the teacup in his hand, and got up: "Ziqin, let's go back to the room." ”

Huang Qu saw that she was leaving, and said with a smile behind him: "I'm curious, how did you know Ma Huatian?" Is it by what ability, or by that face? ”

Jin Xin's footsteps paused.

Huang Qu watched her suddenly stand up from behind, hooked his lips, and looked at her with interest, clearly waiting for her reaction.

However, Jin Xin only paused for a moment, and then went straight upstairs, with an indifferent back, obviously not wanting to pay attention to him.

Huang Qu looked at it and frowned slightly.

Jin Xin has only lived here for a few days, and he is also very peaceful, most of the time he stays in the room, only three times a day he goes down to see the black spider and Qiji, and Huang Qu and her face to face are also when she looks at the black spider and Qiji, because Hu Mei is not at ease, he insists on asking him to stare here.

stared at Gui Gui, but rarely dealt with Jin Xin.

However, inexplicably, he became more and more interested in Jin Xin, a quiet woman.

It's only been a few days—

He couldn't figure out where Jin Xin aroused his curiosity.

Jin Xin and Ziqin returned to the room.

Ziqin said: "That Huang Qu somehow always stares at Mrs. You." ”

Jin Xin frowned slightly: "Whatever he wants." Anyway, in a few days, when the injuries of Black Spider and Qiji have healed, we will leave. ”

"Yes."

Ziqin nodded.

*

The next day.

Ma Huatian went to the Yafeng Inn to find Jin Xin.

As someone misunderstood, Jin Xin couldn't invite someone to sit in his room, so he and Ma Huatian went to a nearby teahouse to sit.

I specially booked a seat, by the window, and there was no one else around, which was very convenient for conversation.

Ma Huatian said that he already knew what Jin Xin was embarrassed about, and when Jin Xin heard it, he immediately glared at Ziqin, and Ziqin lowered his head cooperatively, as if he had done something wrong.

"Hehe, Fifth Miss, you don't have to look at Miss Ziqin like that. I know that the reason why Miss Ziqin told me like that was because of you, Miss Five. ”

When Jin Xin heard this, he was not surprised at all, but smiled slightly: "Boss Ma is really Boss Ma, my little tricks are here with Boss Ma, and I really can't get on the stage." ”

Ma Huatian waved his hand and smiled: "Fifth Miss is modest in what she says. I know that Miss Fifth probably gave me a choice, and she didn't want me to be embarrassed. If I'm willing to help, I'll look for you, and if you don't want to help, just assume you don't know. Fifth Miss, at this time, is still so understanding, but Ma is really impressed. ”

Jin Xin smiled: "Boss Ma overestimated me. Where would I have thought of this layer. What's more, the chance encounter on the road was really unexpected to me. I originally intended to go directly to Boss Ma's house. ”

Ma Huatian didn't dwell on this matter, and only smiled: "Anyway, what I said before was all from my heart. Now that Miss Five has encountered a problem, I, Ma Huatian, will definitely help solve it. Next, I will arrange someone to escort Miss Five throughout the process, although it is not as good as the guards around Miss Five, I can help a little bit. ”

When Jin Xin heard this, he smiled and said: "Boss Ma is willing to help, Jin Xin will definitely admit it." Thank you Boss Ma! ”

Ma Huatian looked at Jin Xin and smiled deeply: "This time, can it be regarded as a sincere thanks?" ”
