With the big killer of the little marquis, Ah Yao quickly pried open the mouth of the nurse's son and asked him everything he knew.

The nurse was still alive, which she had vaguely expected, and it was not surprising to hear his confirmation. But what surprised her was that Shen Moci didn't even die.

When she was in Tiger Prison Gorge, she was busy taking care of the injured Brother Jing, and the rest of the time had to gradually get used to his increasingly hot eyes and more and more skillful closeness. Yes, skillful. Obviously, Brother Jing is such an innocent teenager that he doesn't even dare to hold her hand. But during the period of recuperation on the boat, he became more and more angry, at first he just "accidentally" raised his head too violently while feeding the medicine, and the corners of his lips touched her fingers, and then held her hand in time when she sprinkled the medicine to help her avoid the hot medicine.

At first, she was greatly moved by all kinds of thoughtful behaviors, but after more times, she also realized that something was wrong.

Isn't he a strong martial artist? How can it be more clumsy than ordinary people.

Ah Yao, who had finally opened up in love for two lives, quickly came back to her senses, and when she was shy, the news of Shen Moci's death came.

"Falling into the Tiger Prison Gorge?"

Thinking of the turbulent rivers in the Tiger Prison Gorge, the reefs all over the place, and the places where even boats can be overturned, how can people survive, Shen Moci will definitely die. After learning this, she had mixed feelings in her heart, didn't it mean that the scourge would be left for thousands of years, and Shen Moci, who had ruined her family and had nothing in her previous life, died like this?

There are no bones left, and you die well!

was washed away by the river so easily, it was too cheap for her!

The two thoughts intertwined in my heart, and finally turned into a long sigh. People die like lights go out, and with her death, those past grievances and hatreds are all gone. She doesn't have to be obsessed anymore, the Hu family still has so many things waiting for her to do, she doesn't have time to think about it so much.

Now that the revenge has been avenged, she should also put the extra energy on meaningful things, such as giving back to her family who is good to her, and Brother Jing.

After realizing this, she began to know what she should cherish. Faced with Brother Jing's "clumsiness" again, she was more tolerant and tried to overcome her shyness to accept. Of course, most of the time she still can't accept it, and if she can't bear it, she will fight back. She picked up the medicine bowl and poured it directly into his mouth, slapped his groping pig hands mercilessly, and even directly told him to pay attention, and so on.

However, little has been achieved.

No matter what she objected to in words or deeds, he remained the same. There are rules and regulations in front of people, and there are many gentlemen and many gentlemen, but after people, it is like a piece of kraft candy. Not only that, his methods are becoming more and more superb, relying on his flexible mind and strong martial arts, often she doesn't pay attention, and people are already held in his arms.

For example, just now in the carriage, for example, when you just got off the carriage, and even now.

The secret guard, who was late in his life, dealt with the follow-up matters, and the two got into the carriage and continued to rush to the shop in the south of the city. Sitting in the carriage, Ah Yao thought about what she had just asked, trying to clear her thoughts. One of them was already leaning over, holding him with one hand and resting the other on her hair.

"Brother Jing!" Ah Yao said with a little urgency.

"Huh?"

"You, your hand!" Ah Yao said word by word, biting hard at the end of each word.

She thought that she was very intimidating when she gritted her teeth and showed a hideous face, but in Lu Jingyuan's eyes, the little girl in her arms had a pair of apricot eyes that were as round as a cat, white and tender with a little ruddy cheeks, and a few strands of broken hair on the bud head stretched out because of the scratching when she was distressed, and the whole little head was like a puffer fish that was angry.

I really want people to poke it.

The heart moved freely, and the hand grasping the bud was lowered, and the index finger poked at her cheek, and when it touched the soft skin, it was pinched.

"Spit ~ Yan!" was pinched by him, and A-Yao's pronunciation was a little slurred.

"Silly girl, you just thought too much, and your back almost hurt."

How can it be! Her carriage was customized by Daddy at a great price, using craftsmen used by the government, not to mention the exquisite craftsmanship and special attention to enjoyment, the place of the bag was all wrapped in leather, and it was also padded with a layer of sponge transported from afar by Nanyang merchants, so it was impossible to hurt people.

Recalling the carriage of her local tyrant, Ah Yao's face was full of the words "deceitful".

It's stupid, how can it be so cute. Lu Jingyuan's expression became more and more spoiled, and patiently explained: "A few days ago, things were busy, and you had to read a book in the car, so a wall lamp was added temporarily. ”

As he spoke, Ah Yao turned her head, and before she could turn it completely, she had already seen the carp water gold wall lamp made of filigree technology, and the whole wall lamp was hung on the carriage, especially conspicuous on the smooth leather car wall.

"How did I sit here?"

The relationship between the hanging direction of the wall lamp, she habitually sat opposite in the past few days, why did she suddenly change the direction.

It was deliberately guided by him, and even the angle was calculated, otherwise how could he have a chance to hold it. Of course, Lu Jingyuan would never say this little bit of his thoughts, his expression did not change in the slightest, and he said helplessly: "Just now you want to be distracted." ”

Just now, she was indeed shocked by the news that Shen Moci was still alive, and it was entirely possible to sit on the wrong side.

Don't worry about this little thing, Ah Yao completely forgot at this moment, and her subconscious actions often follow her past habits, which is why she will not sit back. At this moment, she didn't expect this at all, she just stuck out her tongue and looked at Brother Jing with a little pleading.

Lu Jingyuan's heart was numb with a soft expression, and the hand that pinched the cheeks stretched out the whole cover, and gently stroked it, he was rarely gentle: "Don't touch your head, just thinking about Shen Moci?" ”

"Well," Ah Yao nodded, and then said her guess, "The news from the mouth of the nurse's son and the merchants of the Western Regions, at first glance, it seems that Shen Moci knew that the people of Qingcheng were vigilant about several times, and they would not be fooled lightly if there were rumors, so they took advantage of the merchants who came from all over Great Xia and were not familiar with the situation in Qingcheng. ”

Lu Jingyuan didn't ignore the point of her words, "At first glance, it seems like this, so what does Ah Yao think is actually it?" ”

Ah Yao's speech slowed down, and she said her guess little by little, "From the very beginning, Shen Moci was trying to damage my reputation, and it seems that she has some natural hostility towards me. Probably one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Hu and Shen have been fighting in Qingcheng for many years, and as two girls, they naturally have to be separated, so it is reasonable for her to be hostile. But if you think about it deeply, is this really just a battle of the girl's family? Shen Moci has already intervened in the Shen family's industry, and many of the Shen family's ideas are still planned by her behind the scenes, and she has long regarded the entire Shen family as something in her pocket. ”

This girl actually thought of this, and when she heard this, Lu Jingyuan already roughly understood what she was going to say next.

Sure enough, the next words confirmed his guess, paused, adjusted a comfortable sitting position, and A-Yao continued: "And I...... No matter how I learned, I am the only one in the entire Hu family, and the industry will still be handed over to me in the future. The dispute between Shen Moci and me is, in the final analysis, a dispute between the Hu and Shen families. Perhaps, before I knew it, she had already made me a mortal enemy. ”

This is also the feeling that Shen Moci "died", Ah Yao felt that everything returned to dust and returned to dust, and she only had the feeling when she recalled the past.

In her previous life, she had never had a dispute with Shen Moci, why did she want to kill her? What kind of grudge is there between the two? After being reborn, in the face of Shen Moci's advantages accumulated over the years, she had many doubts when she saw the move, and she didn't understand it until recently.

Both of them were born enemies.

Now that the Shen family has fallen into such a situation, Shen Moci's hatred will only deepen, and she will not be reconciled. The Shen family is already infamous in Qingcheng, and saving it is useless, starting from foreign businessmen can be regarded as finding another way, and it may be clear that it will be bright. Now that I have begun to take over the business of the Hu family, my father also publicly stated at the apprenticeship ceremony that I will inherit the Hu family, and I represent the entire Hu family. If my reputation is ruined, then she will have a chance to convince those merchants to make a comeback. ”

Saying the guess in her heart, Ah Yao's mood became heavier and heavier. And the nod affirmation of the people around him adds a thousand burdens to this heaviness.

"Brother Jing, do you think that's the case too?"

"I don't think," Lu Jingyuan shook his head, since she could guess, he didn't have to sell Guan Zi anymore, "The truth itself is like this." ”

Ah Yao frowned, Shen Moci was always a lingering shadow in her heart. Now that she is facing her again, she only feels upset.

Isn't it Ququ Shen Moci, a ruined merchant's concubine, what is there to be afraid of. Is she short of money, fame, or backers? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. This girl is still too weak, but because of this, he can be useful and have the opportunity to protect her.

"Ordinary people are easily bewitched, but they just have the mentality of watching the excitement, and it doesn't matter how the truth is. But those businessmen are different, not to mention that they have traveled south and north to see a lot of knowledge, just the silk business is related to net worth, and they will not make a hasty decision based on one-sided words. Now Daddy is the head of Qingcheng, and the Hu family occupies the reputation of benevolence and righteousness in Qingcheng, no matter what, you have the upper hand. ”

Ah Yao put her heart back into her stomach slightly, but she was inevitably still a little worried.

"My Hu family operates in good faith, and the cloth and clothes sold have always been the best materials and the most exquisite styles, and they are naturally not afraid of anyone when it comes to business."

Although she has not taken over the Hu family's business for a long time, Ah Yao has confidence in this regard. But for the Shen family, especially Shen Moci, more than just these should be considered.

"But Shen Moci has always been scheming, she could even say that Wu Tongzhi rebelled before, who knows if she will invite any help this time?"

She thought of all this? Lu Jingyuan's unwavering heart rippled slightly, this girl just followed the Song family in appearance, and she looked more delicate, but in her core, she was a complete Hu family, completely following the sharpness of the nine-tailed old fox.

Shen Moci really invited a big backer, and the intercepted secret letter was restored to its original state and then put it back, if nothing else, Shen Moci should be able to move that person. With the intervention of officials, the Shen family really has a glimmer of life. Of course, this is provided that you don't meet him.

Thinking of this, he said proudly: "Help? Can it be compared to this candidate? ”

He said this justifiably, not to mention the three most noble giants in the capital, the hard power he had worked hard for over the years, and ordinary people would have to bump into each other and break their blood.

Brother Jing seems to be quite reliable, and A-Yao's falling heart is completely flattened, and she looks at him trustingly.

"Well, I'm not worried when Brother Jing is here."

A good word wants to coax him to be a cow and a horse? Lu Jingyuan coughed heavily, sat on the opposite seat like an uncle, and nodded his cold chin to the position beside him.

Ah Yao blushed, lowered her head to her fingers, moved over like a small mushroom, and sat down at a safe distance half an arm's length away from him. Before she could sit down, the person next to her had already moved over, and her slender arms were firmly clamped like iron tongs, and she sat on her lap.

"Go to the south of the city immediately, the car is upside down, so sit comfortably."

Nestled in her arms, A-Yao, who blushed with shame, felt a thick sweetness in her heart.

Aside from the embarrassment, it seems that his contact is not as difficult to accept as he imagined. Not only is it uncomfortable, but she is quite happy and warm to be so cared for and considerate by him.

Then don't exclude?

In the next few days, the little marquis was pleased to find that his water grinding work had finally paid off, and his stupid girl seemed to have suddenly opened up.

At first, the two of them went to the shop in the south of the city, and this shop, which opened only a month ago, is now doing very well, although the scale is not large, but it earns a lot every day, so that the frequency of the girl's accounts every ten years has increased to once every half a decade. After purchasing, manufacturing, and selling chores were handled, the two went to the back yard. Because of A-Yao's arrival today, the swing frame next to the well has been replaced with flowers. Sitting on it and smelling the flowers, she grabbed her arm with her little hand as he tried to grab her arm on the grounds that he couldn't sit still, carefully with her characteristic gentleness.

Maybe it was too fragile to learn that Shen Moci was still alive?

The surprise came so quickly that it was a little hard for him to accept. But in the next few days, she became more and more obvious, first took the initiative to pick up a spoon to feed him when she came to deliver the tonic soup, and then took out the new clothes of the Hu family's ready-to-wear workshop this summer to choose with him.

All kinds of expressions made him go from disbelief to doubt, and with surprise again and again, the doubt became weaker and weaker until the final affirmation, and after a complete affirmation, his heart was simply ecstatic.

She is taking the initiative to approach him, and she has been longing for the girl who has been waiting for two lifetimes to take the initiative to care about him and touch him.

It was only after the ecstasy that he realized his greed, and even though he could see that she was already trying hard to care for him, he felt that it was not enough. Because she will also care about other people, she has to read and write, she has to take charge of the back house, and she has to take care of business, so many things are pressed, and she gives him very little time.

How can this be? He wanted her to see only him, to care only about him, to put all her eyes on him.

Frightened by his madman-like pathological possessiveness, Lu Jingyuan realized how deep his obsession was. Perhaps in her previous life, when she hid among the dense branches and leaves of the courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing again and again, her feelings were already as hot as the summer sun.

But if he continued like this, he couldn't help but hurt her, and he was keenly aware of this, and when he faced her again, Lu Jingyuan began to subconsciously escape.

Since catching the nurse's son and priing her mouth open, A-Yao has fallen into unprecedented busyness. She found that in her previous life and present life, she was either stupid and didn't know that the other party was hostile to her, or she was passively defending and seeing moves, all in all, she was always passive, and she didn't react until others bullied her.

This made her feel very aggrieved and unwilling.

Can we just sit back and wait? Before, she didn't know anything about human relations, and she didn't know anything about business, so she could only endure it even if she was aggrieved. But this time is different, and she doesn't want to endure it anymore.

After telling Daddy the news he asked, when Hu Jiuling was furious and wanted to take care of this matter and vowed to put it on the table, Ah Yao hurriedly stopped him and said that he would avenge himself.

After repeated persuasion, seeing that she insisted, Hu Jiuling, who loved her daughter, could only agree. However, he was still not at ease, and sent Hu Gui, the most capable Hu of the Hu family, directly to her.

Ah Yao knew that she was two pounds, so she didn't insist more. Considering that Uncle Gui is a big housekeeper and has a lot of things to do on weekdays, she first asked for the eldest apprentice brought out by Uncle Gui himself, which is also the reserve descendant trained by Daddy for her to take charge of the Hu family's business.

After the personnel arrived, she did not send them out to spread the news, but ordered them to visit various guild inns with samples to find out the needs of these merchants. The Great Xia is vast, and the climate and customs are different in the southeast and northwest. I don't know if I don't ask, but I don't know how much information I have when I ask, so that she has one more thing - sorting out the needs of merchants everywhere, and then feeding back to the Hu family shop.

Of course, she didn't forget the small shop she opened in partnership with Su Xiaoqiao, according to the different needs of different places, after repeated discussions with Su's father, she added some camouflage bandanas of different sizes and colors. The first batch of samples has been made, and as the Hu family sells them to various guild halls, many businessmen have already expressed interest.

Originally, she was busy enough, but with these things, the whole person was directly busy with a spinning top. When she finally got free, she found that Brother Jing hadn't taken the initiative to look for her for several days.

"Brother Jing, has he been particularly busy lately?"

As usual, he walked to the courtyard next door with the tonic soup, picked up the spoon and just wanted to scoop it up and blow it, when the young man in Xuanyi on the bed suddenly reached over and took the medicine bowl, "You are busy, I will do it myself to drink the medicine." ”

"Oh." Ah Yao was stunned, but she obediently put down the spoon, then got up and picked up a porcelain cup backwards, "Then you drink first, I'll pour you a cup of honey water to remove the bitterness." ”

"I do."

When this sentence came out, Ah Yao finally realized that something was wrong. It's not that she's sensitive, it's that the matter of pouring honey has another origin.

She is also the Lord who is served, and even if she has the heart, she doesn't understand many details of taking care of people. After he was injured by the rain of arrows in Tiger Prison Gorge, the building boat was understaffed, and she took on the responsibility of taking care of him. At that time, in addition to taking the opportunity to touch her hand and many other small actions, he also made many requests.

For example, the medicine should be blown and not cold or hot, otherwise it will vomit; Another example is to pour a glass of honey water after drinking the medicine to wash away the bitterness in the mouth.

All kinds of requirements are detailed, Rao is patient and good, and sometimes she wants to pick and choose when her temper comes up. This was the case with this honey, there was no honey on the ship at that time, and if you wanted to buy it, you had to stop the ship for an extra day. She came out for a long time and wanted to hurry back, but he insisted on stopping the boat and docking to buy honey. She got into a screw and quarreled with him directly.

Of course, she was the only one arguing, he didn't say a word, put on a dress, and took her downstairs directly to the boat. Then they didn't buy honey that night, so he took her to see the most beautiful flowers in the city, and after admiring the flowers, he went to eat all kinds of snacks. As a result, she had enough to eat and drink, and he coughed all night because of his light work.

How close they were back then, why is he so cold to her now.

The past is vivid, and A-Yao finally came back to her senses. looked at Brother Jing, who was focused on the medicine bowl and didn't give it to her half of the corner of his eyes. When she came back from a tired day, she only felt infinitely aggrieved, and tried desperately to hold back, but the heat still surged uncontrollably into the corners of her eyes.

"Brother Jing, do you hate me anymore, woo."

Covering her mouth, she turned her head and ran out. Before she could run to the door, a gust of wind blew in her ears, and the person who was lying on the hospital bed drinking medicine appeared in front of her.
