The clouds are light and the ink is thick, and the last stroke is outlined, and the ink is gently blown dry against the breeze.

Closing the poster, Yu Xi looked at the weaving network standing on the side, and instructed, "Inform the branches, everything in the future, the shopkeepers don't have to report one by one, all the affairs of each branch, the south side will be handed over to the Cainan Zhu shopkeeper to decide, the north and east and west stores will be handed over to the head of Qi for decision, and all the branches in the capital, including the head office, will be decided after you and the head office of Qi." Qinghuang Mobei still follows the precedent, and reports to me once a day. For the remaining two months, I'm going to go out of town, and if I don't get a reply, I'm going to do things as usual. ”

Weaving raised her eyebrows and replied softly, "Girl, it's all written down." ”

Yuxi picked up the account book, flipped through it casually, and saw that the official family's arrears had been completely put into the warehouse, and said in his heart, this silk business is gradually getting better and better, since this is the case, it is time to go to Cainan to have a look.

Cainan, the place where she grew up as a child, how many times have peach blossoms and colorful lakes appeared in her dreams......

Cainan ...... A trace of frowning in the center of his eyebrows had not yet dispersed, and he suddenly heard the announcement from the head of Qi's door, "Girl, Lord Zhong of the Zhong Mansion has come in person, and he has arrived at the front door, saying that it is urgent, please go out to greet the girl quickly." ”

Suddenly, Yuxi didn't have time to change her clothes, she only wore a homely plain white single coat inside, and an apricot-colored robe on the outside. Ori opened the door, walked behind the curtain, and changed into a coat. Listening to the outside of the curtain, he asked, "Didn't the chief tell them, saying that the prince was not in the city?" ”

Qi Zongguan, "Naturally, I said it, but Lord Zhong said that there is a legend in the city that it is always the girl who really makes the decision." That's why I broke in. Yu Xi shook her head slightly, thinking that it must be the joke of the ferry day that spread to the city, and she didn't feel funny.

In the past few years, he has been drunk and dusty and does not like business, and he has been obsessed with seeking medical treatment and visiting the Tao, and he has traveled all over the world with his master, and he has completely ignored the affairs of his family. In addition to being grateful for the love of being taken in and nurtured by the drunken family, I also have the last resort

Don't learn to do business. When the big event is over, this drunk family wants to return the drunk light dust, so he is only used to wearing men's clothes outside in the name of drunk dust.

Lord Zhong has entered the mansion with a young man in Tsing Yi, and he has led the way, turning his head and smiling, "My lord, my girl is not in good health, so she can't come to greet you, and she is waiting for your lord in Wuwei tungsten." Please don't be surprised, please come with the slaves! ”

Master Zhong smiled, "The girl has always been in poor health, but this understanding is still there, and it doesn't get in the way!" ”

He smiled and said, "Please! I just felt that the boy in Tsing Yi behind him seemed to be staring at him all the time, so he looked back and smiled, and couldn't help but look at the boy in Tsing Yi twice, but he really didn't know him.

On the Jiuqu corridor, I came to a chic courtyard, only to see the green bamboo planted into a hill of its own, and the clear stream reflected the extremely graceful flow. Out of the narrow gate in front of me, the eyes suddenly opened, only to see that the courtyard is a bamboo forest, there is a bend of water

From east to west, pass through the pavilion, a waterwheel rotates leisurely in the pool of clear water, the water droplets splash everywhere, plant a little lotus under it, a path is arrogant, it is summer, the flowers bloom just right. Originally only a small courtyard, after the corridor to see, after the lotus pond, the courtyard is heavy, unfathomable.

Lord Zhong and the boy in Tsing Yi sat down in the hall, took the tea served by the maid, and tasted it lightly, knowing that it was a good Longjing.

The wind blows the curtain, and the flying flowers follow the wind curtain.

Weaving Luo slowly retreated with the little maid, only to hear a beautiful voice from behind the curtain and say, "Lord Zhong is here today, the little girl is inconvenient to welcome, please forgive me!" Inside the curtain, there was a faint sound of rustling, and I thought it was saluting.

The curtain fluttered, and Yu Xi saw the boy in green clothes, clean and gentle, with a trace of heroism between his eyebrows. Heart, who is this man? He also said in his heart, when someone comes, it must be related to weapons.

I only heard Lord Zhong say, "Drunken girl, I discussed the matter of weapons with Brother Ling a few days ago, thanks to the help of the water boy, the above gave permission." However, the girl also knows that this weapon has always been the most important thing, and it should not be played with. whereas

Today, it said that they would go to the field to see the place where the drunken family produced weapons, and only after the field investigation did they make a decision. ”

There were two soft coughs from inside the curtain, and after a moment, they stopped, but there was no sound.

Lord Zhong and the young man in green clothes glanced at each other, only to hear the voice of the woman in the curtain was slightly unstable, "The drunken family has always been grateful for the grace of the gods, and now, since there is a will from above, the little girl must obey it." Thank you Lord Zhong for mediating this, and if the little girl's younger brother comes back, he will definitely go to the house to thank him personally! ”

Lord Zhong smiled, "You're polite, you're welcome, the drunken girl will see if you can arrange it!" ”

There were two more light coughs in the curtain, and Yu Xi's face gradually became flushed, so she hurriedly took the sachet and took two sips before it was relieved. I thought it was because I stayed up too late these days, and my heart and blood were insufficient, so I pulled out the disease again, and frowned slightly. moment

After that, the watery eyes were calm again.

With a sigh in his heart, the emperor was suddenly so anxious to use his weapons, and it seemed that the war was imminent. said in his mouth, "The little girl will go and arrange it, when will the adult leave?" ”

Master Zhong said, "Drunken girl, please help arrange it, the old man is ready, ready to leave immediately!" ”

Yu Xi had never thought that this matter was so urgent, she thought about it for a while, and said softly, "The little girl's brother just happened to go to Cainan, and the little girl wrote to him and asked him to wait for the adults in Cainan's drunken villa." ”

After that, I sat on the desk and wrote a book, and after a while, I saw a snow and white cloud sleeves, and when the curtain was opened, a stunning girl came out of it.

The two people sitting outside the curtain drinking tea were stunned.

"Worship Uncle Zhong."

Yuxi bowed slightly, her soft words were like a clear stream, slow and soft, and spared in her heart.

Lord Zhong came back to his senses and said with a smile, "My niece and Qingchen are really alike!" It's just a pity for this body. ”

Yu Xi didn't care, smiled slightly, and raised her eyes to look at the boy in Tsing Yi who was sitting next to her.

Lord Zhong remembered something, put the teacup on the table, and said with a smile, "Drunken girl, this is Lord Jiang Zi, a close minister of the Son of Heaven." This survey of weapons is the sole responsibility of Master Jiang. ”

Yu Xi smiled, bent down and bowed, "The folk girl has seen Master Jiang." ”

Jiang Zi waved his hand and said, "General, the girl misunderstood." In this field survey, the imperial court sent another entourage. ”

Lord Zhong exclaimed, "What? It's been replaced, I don't even know. ”

Jiang Zi said with a smile, "It's the son of the water boss, the water boy." ”

The tea was obviously shaking, and when he heard this, Lord Zhong didn't have time to drink tea, so he got up and hurriedly said goodbye.

Yu Xi curled her lips and chuckled, "Weaving, come in." ”

The weave came in and stood aside.

"You send this letter to Gongzi in an expedited manner for 800 miles, and he will understand when he reads the letter."

"Yes." Weaving received the letter, smiled lightly, turned and closed the door, and the sound of her slow footsteps echoed in the corridor.

The small window opens, a song of lotus, and the fragrance is scattered. The girl in the house, dressed in plain clothes, leaned against the small window, covered the silk handkerchief, and a few pieces of sunlight fell on her snow-white cheeks, trembling slightly, like a flying leaf, in an instant, then

can float away from this world.

Jiang Zi was stunned, there was such a dusty woman in the world. It's this girl, last time she let herself be scolded in front of her master, I don't want to, this person is so weak and so young, I can't help but feel pity. It's just that such a thin little girl, can she have the ability that the master said?

"Master Jiang, this trip has been hard." The girl smiled faintly, and then moved slightly, holding the teapot in her hand, and refilling the tea beside her. When she walked in, Jiang Zi only felt a ball of brilliance, showing off incomparably, and he was dizzy.

Instinctively told him that he should not sit here any longer, got up and said, "Girl, the matter is over, I will leave now." ”

Yu Xi smiled slightly, but did not stay.

"Uncle Qi, please help send Master Jiang."

Yu Xi looked at his back in a hurry, thoughtful, only to hear Ji Er cover his mouth behind him and grin, "When will the girl teach me this soul snatching technique?" ”

Yu Xi took the burden that the weaver had packed up, and said with a smile, "Fang Cai, I didn't use any soul snatching techniques. Besides, in this life, I don't plan to take in apprentices. If you want to learn, please your young master. Let him teach you, maybe not. ”

When he heard this, he was so engrossed that he wanted to ask more, but he also understood that the matter was urgent, so he closed his mouth.

Yuxi is fast all the way, and the ultra-short road goes to Cainan first.

It is said that 90,000 miles of mountains and rivers are less than an inch of Cainan.

Cainan, spring all year round, colorful butterflies flying. Yuxi thinks that the beauty of the world is not as good as Furong City. Cainan is a sad place.

Seven days later, Yuxi and his party had just closed their eyes and recuperated in the middle of the day, when they heard that Lord Zhong and Shui Gongzi had arrived in Cainan. Yu Xi greeted him with a smile in men's clothes, and saluted Lord Zhong, "My sister sent an urgent letter from 800 miles to say that Lord Zhong has been waiting for a long time in Cainan these days!" ”

The sun was shining, and a black-haired young man in white clothes sat on horseback, looking condescendingly at the young man saluting below, hooking his lips and smiling, revealing a few charming fairy postures.

"Brother Shui!" The boy under the horse also laughed.

Mo Qing jumped off the horse, bent his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Drunken brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, but are you okay?" The jade card I sent last time, my little concubine likes it very much! ”

Yu Xi smiled, "Madam likes it, it's the best." In the future, if there is a good object, I will send someone to tell Brother Shui, and Brother Shui will come and get it. ”

The two of them had another rhetoric, but Zhong Chu was in a hurry, and said in his heart, this trip, time is pressing, how can the emperor talk about some topics that are not painful. And because the Lord has always been severe, it is rare to smile

, plus the last time I sold jade bracelets, I haven't settled accounts with myself, and I'm a little scared when I think about it. I wanted to interrupt the topic several times, but I didn't dare, so I followed the two of them and slowly walked into the machinery warehouse.

Zhong Chu has led the troops for several years, and when the gate is open, he still can't help but gasp. He never imagined that the drunken family's mechanical arsenal would be so large, row after row, iron, copper, steel, bamboo, knives, guns, swords, halberds,

There is no end in sight to axes, axes, hooks, and forks. The cold light is bright and shining, which makes people feel cold as soon as they get closer.

Zhong Chu raised his head slightly, only to see that the master in front of him was also slightly stunned.

Two young men in white, one tall and one short, have a peerless demeanor. The clothes are in this cold mechanical storehouse, slightly swinging.

"My lord, please see, these are bows and arrows, and the range is more than 100 meters."

Mo Qing lowered his head slightly, and said with a smile, "Can you wear Yang in a hundred steps?" ”

Yu Xi said with a smile, "It depends on who is used in it, if it is used in the hands of a master, you can cut gold and jade." If it is used in the hands of the younger brother, I am afraid that it will not be possible to kill chickens. ”

Mo Qing took out a knife at random and said, "This sword is in full bloom, and it will be able to sharpen iron like clay, who are you selling this sword to?" ”

Yu Xi thought about it and said with a smile, "I have always sold it to friends in the rivers and lakes." ”

A cold glow lit up the bottom of his deep eyes, and Mo Qing smiled, "Drunken brother, if you sell this sharp weapon to the rivers and lakes, if it is taken by that bandit, won't it only increase the disaster and make the people's livelihood uneasy?" You sent it, but it's all

It's ill-gotten gains! ”

Yu Xi said with a smile, "This sharp weapon is in the hands of thieves, of course, it is a thing that hurts people's lives, if it is placed in an ordinary courtyard, it is the use of guarding the home, and in the hands of ordinary civilians, it is also a sharp weapon for self-defense." So, sin

It's not about the ice blade, it's about whose hands it's used in. Therefore, it is said that sharp weapons are used for self-protection. ”

Mo Qing was noncommittal, walked a few steps, and smiled sideways, "You are very close to Qinghuang, how do you know that you will not sell your blades to Qinghuang in private, and attack my Moqing Dynasty in turn?" ”

Mo Qing said casually, but Zhong Chu broke out in a cold sweat.

Yu Xi smiled slightly, raised her eyebrows slightly, and replied slowly, "Qinghuang and my drunken family are thieves and bandits." I drunk my family to eat the rice of the Moqing Dynasty, drink the water of the Moqing Dynasty, and make the wealth of the Moqing Dynasty, and the family and the country are the home. These ice blades, if they are used by the imperial court, of course, are for the Moqing Dynasty to protect the family. “

Zhong Chu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and praised in his heart, it was good to return.

Mo Qing said with a smile, "I heard that this Qinghuang does not trade with other countries, but only the drunken family can enter and exit freely, I don't know what it means?" ”

Yu Xi said with a smile, "When my sister traveled with her master when she was young, she had no intention of saving Emperor Hao. Emperor Hao is a nostalgic person, and he is a little different from the drunken family. It's just that the people below are not as obedient as before, and the business of the drunken family is also the same robbery, the same robbery. ”

Mo Qing smiled, "I see. ”

After walking a few steps, Mo Qing smiled casually, "In the past few years, the drunken family has indeed developed, and it seems that there are some ways to do business." ”

Yu Xi bowed down and said, "It's Dili at all, and the drunken family doesn't dare to be ungrateful." ”

Mo Qing's eyes moved, and he smiled faintly.

The three of them looked left and right again, and before they knew that they had walked for half an hour, they were nearing the end.

In front of a dark weapon grid, Mo Qing suddenly stopped, his eyes darkened, smiled, picked up a cloth and shook it, and asked with a smile, "Why are there still women's objects in this armory?" ”

Yu Xi stepped forward to take a look and said with a smile, "My sister likes to study hidden weapons, these are not ordinary pearl hairpins, there are hidden mysteries in them." Brother Shui, give it to the little brother quickly, so as not to hurt you by mistake. ”

Yu Xi took the step shake with both hands and carefully put it in its place. Zhong Chu asked about the strength, range and strength of some ordinary ice blades, and Yu Xi responded one by one.

When he returned the same way, Mo Qing slowly fell behind, looked east again, walked west, saw Lord Zhong stop waiting for him, smiled faintly, and said, "Look at yours, I'll look at the excitement." "Anyway, I didn't even look at the weapon

, took a step forward, and said with a smile, "I heard that Cainan is a beautiful woman, and this time I came to prepare for a few concubines to go back!" ”

Zhong Chu believed it, but stopped to check the weapon. asked, "Drunken boy, can you help find this beauty of Cainan to serve for a few nights?" ”

Yu Xi was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and her lips blurred, "Brother Shui is so elegant, and the younger brother will not be disobedient." ”

That night, Yuxi personally picked two good-looking girls from the house and asked the servants to send them, only to hear the blowing and singing in the courtyard next door for a night, stirring up the peace, tossing and turning. It wasn't until he was ugly that he fell asleep in a daze

The next day, the two little girls came back, with two big black eyes, and said very tiredly, "The two of them were only allowed to sing songs, and they asked a lot about the borderlands." In the middle, the older one was really sleepy, so he went back first

After sleeping, the stunning son asked some more about Qinghuang Kingdom. After that, we kept playing the tune twice. ”

Yu Xi sighed and asked, "How did you answer?" “

The little girl replied, "The people of the hateful Qinghuang Kingdom are like bandits, and they have also robbed the things in our house, so we naturally hate them very much." Not to mention those farmers who grow crops, the Uncle Zhang who delivers vegetables to our house

The family's vegetable field was trampled on by the people of the Qinghuang country, and the victims' families had no money to eat in winter, so they all went to the street to ask for food, isn't it hateful? ”

Yu Xi smiled slightly, "Go down and close the door." ”

Yu Xi sat alone in a chair, holding her chin with her hand, and pondered, "Qinghuang Country and Mobei have always been good friends, and there seems to be nothing on the surface. Over the years, he has privately sold a lot of BMW from the North, and the cavalry is well-trained. Although these two stunned people are ****, they have made the soldiers strong and strong, and in recent years, harassing the southern border has become more and more frequent. It seems that the emperor really had the idea of fighting this time, otherwise how could he be in such a hurry to inspect the weapon? ”

His eyes were lowered, he smiled leisurely, and said in his heart, Brother Moqing, what have you become after so many years? Isn't it ambitious?

At this time, a report came from the courtyard next door that Lord Zhong and Gongzi had gone out for a walk, and they didn't need to accompany them today.

Yuxi was too lazy to be idle, called the weaving, the two dressed as sons, and went to the old site of Lianzhe Villa, the peach blossom forest is still there, but the small village below has become a ruin, the remnants of the wall are broken, the vegetables and bamboos are slanting, and the heart is desolate.

Yuxi grabbed some paper money, knelt in front of the grave, and cried loudly, with hatred in her heart, but she forced herself to suppress it. Xin said, "Grandma, please forgive me, I can't avenge you." Uncles and uncles, please forgive me! Grandmother

Please forgive me! Please forgive me for forgetting jì a qiē! This is the end of the hatred, please forgive your grandson for being unfilial! ”

After kowtowing a few times, Yuxi cried for a long time, then sat up and wiped away her tears with her sleeve. Walking to the lake of childhood with Oriro, my heart sank again, where there used to be buffaloes grazing leisurely, and now,

There is only long grass on the shores of the lake, and the roads are flooded.

Yu Xi sighed again, turned around and pointed behind him, "That day, it was on that hillside, full of peach blossoms, and I played on it with Qiu Feng. Now, the flowers and bones are all gone, but I am the only one left, but the world is impermanent! ”

Weaving her eyelashes moved slightly, a trace of mist floated, she could always empathize with her mood, "Girl, do you really have no hatred in your heart?" ”

Yu Xi said sadly, "If you cling to hatred, you will be blindfolded, and you won't be able to see many things clearly." Five years ago, I hated it so much that I almost died here. At that time, I was not afraid of death, and I bit the blood of the master's hand. After waking up and living in the temple for half a year, I realized that compared to life and death, everything else is too light, such as hatred. ”

Weaving Luo looked dazed, "If anyone treats my family like this, I will definitely take revenge." Yu Xi turned around and saw that what she said was categorical. couldn't help but smile faintly, "People, the limit is approaching, and I can't understand it."

, whether there is a right or wrong obsession! I have also seen many patients, tall, short, fat and thin, rich and poor, whether they are young or old, when they are seriously ill, they suddenly become transparent. ”

"I don't understand what the girl said, but mortals don't have a love and hate, so what's the difference between that and grass and trees?" ”

Yu Xi smiled leisurely, "Do you think the grass and trees are ruthless? The real ruthless is only afraid of this God, you see, no matter how sad and happy others are, he is still like that, he never interferes, just looks at it coldly. ”

"What the girl said, I don't understand it. ”

Yu Xi smiled slightly, stopped talking, and sat on the grass for a long time before getting up.

Not long after the two of them left the villa at sunset, they met Lord Zhong and Mo Qing one after the other, holding a compass-like thing and chanting words in their mouths. Mo Qing was alone, constantly drawing something on the paper.

Approaching, Mo Qing saw Yuxi crying at a glance, still with red eyes, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with drunken brother, what's wrong" His gaze fell on Zhiluo, paused slightly, as if there were white clouds passing by, but his voice was also ethereal,"

The personal maid also came out in men's clothes, could it be that my brother is too...?"

Yu Xi's eyes were swollen, and she turned her head slightly, but she still saw the shyness of the drooping eyes of the weavers.

Before the words fell, the person did not come back to his senses, seeing him stretching out his hand, the white shadow flashed, Yuxi had already rowed a foot away, and said with a smile, "Take a woman, it is inconvenient to come out." ”

Zhong Chu still turned his back and said, "Childe, Master Jiang really recorded it extremely accurately, and it is indeed one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five miles here. ”

Yuxi lifted her hat, and then saw Mo Qing holding a drawing in her hand, took a pen, and lowered her head and nodded a little on it. It was as if he hadn't just come over and snatched her hat.

Yu Xi lifted his hat, as if he was unintentional, and asked, "Brother Shui, are you drawing drawings?" ”

Mo Qing raised his eyes and glanced at her, seeing that her temples were slightly scattered, and said lightly, "I and Lord Zhong will conduct field surveys. Why are you here too? ”

Yuxi replied casually, "If you have nothing to do, come and take a look." Hehe, looking for dragon points, but I didn't expect that Brother Shui was young, so he was anxious to find a blessed land for himself, and he was really thoughtful. ”

The white line in Zhong Chu's hand shook, and he lowered his head again.

Mo Qing raised his eyes, looked at the sunset on the horizon lightly, and said with a smile, "People have no long-term worries, why don't I take the opportunity to help you keep a piece, and we will sleep here together in the future, how do you see the scenery?" ”

The wind blows the grass, and the flowers fall in white.

A smile bloomed on Yuxi's lips, her cold eyes were overflowing, "It's the dust that comes and returns to the dust, and the brother doesn't know, so the husband and wife can be buried together?" ”

Mo Qing didn't expect her to answer like this, but in addition to being surprised, she had a little more interest, and habitually hooked the corners of her mouth, "Maybe not." ”

Yu Xi suddenly laughed, "There are so many concubines in the Brother Tai family, it's not that the five horses have to be divided to be fair." ”

In the whole world, I am afraid that she is the only one who jokes with him.

Zhong Chu was shocked into a cold sweat again, simply, turned his back and felt that it was inappropriate, his back was to the Lord, it was a big disrespect, thinking about it, he still put away his tools and bowed his head.

No, Mo Qing actually looked up to the sky and laughed.

For more than ten years, he has never laughed so loudly, and a trace of different feelings spread in his heart, strange and distant, surging like a tide, and quiet.

The four of them talked and laughed all the way back, and at dusk, Lord Zhong was ordered to return to the nearby station.

The water boy is the guest of Lord Zhong, and he is also on a mission, so Yuxi naturally treats him politely. Thinking that he would inevitably be lonely, he invited him into the house for dinner, and the two of them pulled around, south and north, and did not think that it was already midnight, and discussed some things about setting off together to return to the imperial city the next day, and Yuxi was already quite tired.

Mo Qing saw that her eyes were half-drooping, hazy and sleepy, and suddenly wanted to see her green hair. Neither of the two spoke, Mo Qing leaned on the table next to her, saw her eyes slightly closed, and suddenly smiled sideways, "You."

Do you really want to do the business of the imperial court? ”

The clear light flashed, the bright eyes opened lightly, and instantly grabbed the essence of heaven and earth, bright and dazzling, Yuxi smiled, "Brother Shui has a doorway?" ”

Mo Qing smiled, "You come here, I'll tell you who you are looking for." ”

Yu Xi approached and said with a smile, "Brother Shui, tell me quickly!" ”

Mo Qing raised her eyebrows and hooked her lips, and her deep eyes were full of moonlight and stars.

Look at how close he is, and he doesn't say anything. Yu Xi was stunned for a moment, felt strange, and looked at him puzzled. The fan surface was gently lifted, and Yuxi's hat fell to the ground in response, and his long hair, like water splashing ink, slanted down.

Yu Xi's face turned red, and she said hurriedly, "How can you deceive people?!" ”

Seeing her like this, Mo Qing's eyes lit up, as if she smelled the fragrance of snow falling plums, and said with a smile, "Don't wear it, a little girl has to pretend to be a man, what is the plan?" “

Yu Xi turned his back and ignored him.

Beauty under the lamp, the old saying is true.

She's just a child, how could he think of her like that?

Mo Qing smiled helplessly, "Okay, go find Jiang Ziso!" If you want to do any business with the court, you can find him. ”

The girl under the lamp, hugging her knees, her body trembling slightly.

Mo Qing snorted and sneered, "Are you really crying?" ”

Yu Xi smiled sideways, with a pool of clear water at the bottom of her eyes, how could there be half a tear. A little bit of charm, rippling in the rippling clear water, "Brother Shui, wealth, don't enter the emergency door!" Wealth, not into the public, everyone sees things to make money,

It's definitely a trap, or it's a poppy. I will never do it, only by doing business with the imperial court can I make the most money. ”

"Really?"

"Well, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."
