Chapter 43: A Coincidental Encounter with Qi Yu

The problem of Vientiane Shop is not something that can be solved in a short period of time, and at present, the only way to move the silver taels from elsewhere is to move over, and after several people discussed for more than an hour, Xi Cui decided that half of the money owed at present would be taken from the general ledger, and the remaining half would be borrowed by Wang Yonglin with his private house as a guarantee.

It is not a problem to borrow 10,000 taels or 20,000 taels in the name of Wang Yonglin in the business field over the years, and everyone has no opinion on this decision.

As for how to prevent the problem from happening before it happens, and fundamentally prevent such a thing from happening again, Xi Cui still needs to discuss it with Rui Niang again, if the meeting of the chief steward, which is usually held in March, can be held in advance, and it is best to gather everyone together to discuss the solution within this month.

Since it was discussed, it was time to start doing it immediately, and Mama Wu took the initiative to take the matter. After all, it was the first time Xi Cui had officially met with these big stewards, and she should still be able to help her, and seeing these three people this time was just a good start, and the main event was still to come.

Saying goodbye to Zhang Xun and them, Xi Cui and the three of them prepared to go home, and Duan San drove in front.

In a place like the VIP building, it is possible to meet some dignitaries at any time. Before Xi Cui bent down to enter the car, his eyes swept over a carriage beside him that was extremely luxuriously decorated, and even the clothes of the driver who drove it showed a luxurious appearance, without even blinking his eyes.

But just when half of her body had already entered the carriage, several guards in strong suits guarding the carriage swept over with whips, if it wasn't for Duan San's quick hand, Xi Cui was afraid that he would be thrown out of the carriage by the startled horse.

Duan San naturally refused to suffer, after stabilizing the horse and watching Xi Cui get out of the car safely, one flew and kicked the other party's horse's head, originally the carriage was very majestic with two horses, suddenly one fell to the ground, the other was frightened, the carriage shook instantly, and Jin Ling, who was hanging on the four corners of the sedan chair, made a messy sound.

Several guards were shocked, and quickly threw away the horses under them and rode onto the carriage, trying their best to stabilize the carriage and protect the people inside.

Xi Cui's heart trembled when he saw the skills of these guards, Duan San had caused himself a lot of trouble now......

Sure enough, the driver of the car roared at the throat of the male duck, and Xi Cui's scalp was numb. This man is clearly a eunuch! The eunuch drove, the carriage was splendid, and the guards followed him to open the way...... This posture is either the emperor or the mother in the harem!

Finished......

Xi Cui pondered whether to wait for the people in the carriage to make a sound and quickly kowtow to admit his mistake, fortunately, the queen mother is still surnamed Wang, and her name will be brought out when necessary.

But the people in the carriage didn't make a sound, only to see that after the carriage stabilized, the sedan curtain was lifted, and a familiar face appeared in front of Xi Cui.

Qi Yu!

How could it be him? Xi Cui was stunned in place, Qi Yu in front of him was still the same face except for his face, French, dressed, and his temperament had completely changed. In the past, he always combed his black hair neatly and then crowned it in a wooden bun, wearing a plain cyan robe, his eyes were smiling, and he was elegant like a spring breeze. But now he is hanging down his long hair at will, although it is not messy, but it adds a little wanton, with a crimson brocade robe, black and black corset, the whole person looks willful and flamboyant, and he is surrounded from such a carriage, and the momentum is pressing in an instant, so that people dare not look directly.

His gaze shot towards Xi Cui's side, no longer quiet and indifferent as before, but swept over like a sharp long sword with a cold blade, making Xi Cui couldn't help but take a few steps back, wanting to dodge.

Seeing Xi Cui, Qi Yu also froze.

How long has it been since you saw her? It doesn't seem to be a long time, only a few months, but this less than half a year is like a world away from him. Now he seems to have come to this world after being reborn with the memories of his previous life, his identity is different, and his circumstances have completely changed, but when he thought that he had inherited the current identity without any guilt, and could achieve his new life unscrupulously, he met her in his previous life without warning.

Looking at the eyes she wanted to escape, Qi Yu's heart trembled, didn't she know herself?

Duan San looked at the man who came out of the carriage staring at Xi Cui without blinking, and hurriedly blocked in front of Xi Cui, looking at Qi Yu vigilantly.

Xi Cui didn't mean to stand up between the two of them because of Duan Sanfang, I don't know if I didn't want to see each other or lost my mind for a while.

But no matter what the reason, her move was enough to make Qi Yu's heart sad.

All along, in Qi Yu's heart, Xi Cui has a very clear intention for herself. The two of them are childhood sweethearts and two little guesses, and marrying him has always been Xi Cui's wish. If it weren't for the Huai'an Hou Mansion bullying people, they could have naturally kept this expectation and continued to live a peaceful life. Although Xi Yunjian found Qi Yu and proposed to withdraw from the marriage, he was powerless to resist, but how could Xi Cui be reluctant?

How much of the reason why he has come to this point today is because of the powerlessness and resentment of losing Xi Cui? At the beginning, it was precisely because of his humble identity that people beat mandarin ducks but could only swallow their anger, and now he is working hard to change all this, isn't Xi Cui as full of expectations as himself?

But what is Xi Cui's dodge now?

He didn't believe it, he was unwilling, and he was even more angry, he was so desperate to resist, but Xi Cui was not what he thought!

No, he has to ask.

Qi Yu left aside the guards and walked towards Xi Cui, Duan San couldn't help but clench his fists with one hand and raise his horsewhip with the other.

When Qi Yu slowly approached, seeing that he was not skilled, Duan San slowed down his breathing.

At this moment, Xi Cui came back to his senses, stepped forward and stood beside Duan San, looking at Qi Yu who was approaching step by step......

"Why are you here?" The first thing to speak up is all in the air. As he spoke, he bit his tongue with some annoyance, originally wanting to ask, and it was always good.

"How are you doing?" Subconsciously, Xi Cui didn't want Qi Yu to know what she was doing now, if she had done it before, she might have hidden nothing from him, but now it is different, the person in front of her is no longer the handsome young man in her heart who can get along with each other. Trying to make up any reason to answer his question seemed self-defeating, and the only safer way was to avoid it in this way.

Hearing her ask like this, Qi Yu couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in her heart, it turned out that she was still thinking about herself. The pleasure in his heart stretched his frowning brow, and his eyes were not as sharp as Fang Cai. He chuckled softly, "I'm fine, what about you?" ”

With Xiao Yu by his side, Xi Cui quickly knew Qi Yu's thoughts. sighed in my heart, this is probably the so-called intentional versus unintentional. Unexpectedly, one day, she and Qi Yu would also use scheming. Think about how she always flaunts her dislike of scheming on weekdays, but I don't know when she became accustomed to relying on this method to disguise herself.

It turned out that it was not only Qi Yu who had changed during this time, at least his heart for himself was still there, and he didn't even have much innocence left.

"I'm fine...... she didn't have the courage to say that she was fine, and now her situation can only be said to be okay. Although he is no longer a slave who serves his master carefully, although he holds something that others envy, he does not want all this in his heart, so he can only say that it is okay.

Qi Yu looked at her hair bun, fortunately, she was still dressed as a girl who had not left the pavilion, which showed that Wang Shaoyan did not accept her, thinking of this, Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "I heard what happened in the Wang family." Although the Liu family has lost power, you still have to be careful, after all, ...... "After all, Xi Yunting is such a person, it is impossible for the Wang family to get an heir from her, Wang Shaoyan will not accept other concubines for a day, and the possibility of you being accepted as a concubine is very high." I don't want you to succumb to that fate, and now that I'm starting to show my strength, he will have a chance to take you back, and you will have to wait for me.

Knowing that he had such intentions, Xi Cui suppressed the panic in his heart. Now her situation is already trembling and walking on thin ice, but she can't be sideways because of him, Qi Yuruo is really pushing herself to the cusp because she is against the Wang family, and she will only be more difficult at that time. But what can be done to get him to accept this thought?

She resolutely divorced the marriage at the beginning, and she had already hurt him once, what would be the consequences if she rejected him again at this time? Xi Cui didn't dare to think about it, she never felt that she was a peerless beauty in the city, and the reason why Qi Yu had been obsessed with herself was more or less because she was unwilling in her heart. She thought that maybe she would stabilize him first, and when he stood on a higher place and saw more beauties more attractive than herself, she would naturally break this thought.

The relationship between her and him, at least on Xi Cui's side, has completely ended, and she chose to be with him because she didn't want to go into the intrigue and weirdness of today, but now that he is so, he is no longer the destination she was looking forward to. Maybe saying this will make people think that she is realistic and cold, but this world is like this, she is just going with the flow, as long as she no longer hurts anyone who treats her sincerely, what is wrong?

Seeing that she didn't answer, Qi Yu thought that she had been tempted, and took out the white jade lotus jade pendant from her arms, which was the one that was returned by Xi Cui at the beginning. Today's jade pendant is worn by a thin rope woven by him with silk soft thread, tied with concentric knots, and decorated with tassels swaying in the wind, which is particularly beautiful.

"Since this jade pendant was given to you at the beginning, I have no intention of taking it back. Now that we have met here, let's return the things to their original owners, and you can take them. Qi Yu said that he was about to hand over the jade pendant.

Xi Cui didn't know what to do, and was hesitating, but Duan San stepped forward and blocked him again. In his heart, Xi Cui is Xi Yunjian's person, how can he teach and receive it privately with other men in public? Besides, the man in front of him is not ordinary when he looks at his identity, if he doesn't pay attention to it, he may not know what kind of situation will become when Xi Yunjian comes back.

Qi Yu looked at Duan San's eyes as cold as ice, he was just a coachman, he was so domineering?

The guards behind him saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly stepped forward to stand behind Qi Yu, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, as if there would be a tearing battle at any time.

"This is the son of Qi Yu Qi!" Mama Wu didn't know when she had already gotten out of the carriage, Xu is Fang was frightened and was helped forward by Rui Niang, "I have long heard of the reputation of the son, and today I saw that it was really extraordinary." It's just that I don't know what the prince is doing with the emperor's entourage of guards so aggressively facing my family Xi Cui? ”

Qi Yu squinted his eyes and stared at Mama Wu who appeared beside Xi Cui and held Xi Cui's hand. A mere backhouse mother can know her current identity, which shows that it is not simple. I heard that when Mrs. Huai'an Hou asked Xi Yunting to marry, she also arranged for the most powerful old lady around her to marry, which should be the one in front of her.

Mrs. Hou of Huai'an was on the battlefield with Lord Hou, and this Mama Wu was also inseparable, and it is said that Mrs. Hou was rich in the world, and this old lady also contributed a lot from it. It's a character who really lives in an inner house, but judges the situation outside and responds to it moderately, even no less than a man. Such a person follows Xi Cui, and he respects Xi Cui depending on the situation, so Xi Cui is ...... now

Mama Wu knew about Qi Yu, and when she knew that Xi Yun Jian was pleased with Xi Cui, she began to investigate. This Qi Yu was originally Xi Cui's fiancΓ©, but the average family is a little smart. After Xi Cui divorced, he was depressed for a while, thinking that this person would not do anything, at that time, she couldn't bear to help him several times when he was entangled with people with the strength of wine, but he didn't expect him to suddenly disappear later. Hearing his news again, he was already the most powerful strategist in front of the prince, knowing the past between him and Xi Cui, worried that once he gained power, it would be unfavorable to the Hou Mansion, Mama Wu naturally did not dare to relax her surveillance of him, but watched him gain the trust of the prince and the Lao family step by step, and now although he is just a showman, he has been deeply favored. Knowing that this year's Spring Festival, if this person participates, he will definitely be at the top of the list, but I don't know how the current emperor will arrange his career. But no matter what kind of arrangement, this person will definitely be able to rise to prominence in the future, and he will not be a figure in the court in the future.

Does he want to reconcile with Xi Cui now? What does Xi Cui think? In any case, at this juncture, Xi Cui must not be shaken, she squeezed Xi Cui's palm hard.

Xi Cui looked up at Mama Wu and understood the uneasiness in her heart. He smiled and nodded at her, which was kind of an answer to her. Facing Qi Yu again in a blink of an eye, she pulled Duan San and said softly, "Third brother, don't be so nervous, Qi Gongzi has known me since I was a child, and he will definitely not do anything to me, so let's say a few words, okay?" ”

Duan San wanted to refuse decisively, but thinking of following Xi Cui these days, he understood Xi Cui's character, and knew that she would not be out of proportion, and now he had already placed his position behind Xi Cui instead of a person who could interfere with Xi Cui in everything. So he let go, and Xi Cui stepped forward and approached Qi Yu.

"Qi Gongzi, this jade pendant Xi Cui is now broken and dare not accept it. Not to mention that our relationship has ended, even looking at the disparity in our identities now, Xi Cui does not dare to easily reach out and accept anything from Childe. Gongzi is now the emperor's right-hand man, he will be rich or expensive in the future, Xi Cui is just a minion left and right, if Xi Cui really doesn't know how to take your things, this word is just a rumor that Xi Cui doesn't know the depths, but Gongzi you are not. How will his colleagues think of you when he becomes an official in the court? Childe never thought that once this incident happened, it would be a stain that could never be erased on you, and your conduct would be criticized. At the beginning, Xi Cui suddenly regretted that the marriage was already unvirtuous, and now it is even more unrighteous to see Gongzi Fugui posting it without regard to it, such a result Xi Cui does not want and dare not ask for it. Xi Cui watched Qi Yu's hand holding the jade pendant slowly lowered, knowing that he had been shaken, and his heart was always disappointed, but more of a peace of mind. In this way, it is no longer Xi Cui's fault alone, since he will also care about fame and fortune, she will be more at ease when she lets go.

She continued, "The son's love is deep and righteous, and he will never abandon Xi Cui, and Xi Cui is grateful in his heart. But it is precisely because of this that Xi Cui implored Gongzi to put the overall situation first, and not to be impulsive and put the two of us in dire straits. ”

Watching him slowly hold the jade pendant in his hand, Xi Cui knew that this was really the end between them.

Qi Yu's slender fingers vigorously rubbed the texture of the jade pendant in his hand, Xi Cui was right, he was in a hurry to lose his proportion. Thinking about the hard work put in these days, seeing that a great future is just around the corner, if the emperor really disappoints himself because of this incident, it will really outweigh the losses. But didn't I make such a decision in the first place just to exhale and raise my eyebrows one day and get back all the things I lost? This is indeed a matter of a man's dignity, but if he finds his dignity but never returns to Xi Cui, does he really bear it?

Seeing that the crowd of onlookers was getting bigger and bigger, Xi Cui knew that it was time to leave, and if the stalemate continued, I was afraid that this matter would not end well.

So she saluted Yu Fu, turned around and took Mama Wu and Rui Niang back to the sedan chair. Duan San didn't say much, followed quietly behind him, sat in front of the car, raised the whip, and drove slowly.

When Qi Yu reacted, their carriage had already gone far away, and the crowd of onlookers had naturally dispersed.

Qi Yu put away the jade pendant, straightened his clothes, and turned around and walked in the direction of the VIP building. At this moment, the window on the second floor of the VIP building was suddenly lowered, covering the thoughtful figure inside.

One of Qi Yu's guards stepped forward quickly, and whispered to Qi Yu, "Qi Gongzi, that coachman is not simple, even if we are afraid that it will be difficult to bargain for anything together." If you really know that girl, then you have to say more, with such a master by your side, that girl is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. ”

Qi Yu was stunned, turned his head to look at the guards beside him, "So the carriage shook violently just now?" ”

The guard nodded, "It's him, we just rubbed their carriage at that time, and the coachman actually made our horse fall to the ground with one move, and he was so fast that we didn't even have time to stop it." ”

Qi Yu didn't respond, buried his head and continued to walk forward, but the steps under his feet were much smaller.
