Chapter 121

When Xie Yiying heard the news that Liu Yuan was going to marry Princess Anping, she was making tea.

Surprised, his hand shook, and the hot tea was sprinkled on the back of his hand.

"Your sister forced him, right?"

Zhou Jin can't say anything, because of his injury, he has pretended to be an uncle in the past half a month, his clothes have come to reach out for rice to open his mouth, and he can't help the soy sauce bottle when it is poured.

"Why should my sister force him, he is generous and beautiful, and he has a golden body, which man in this world doesn't want to marry."

The words make sense, Xie Yiying thought about it for a while, and felt irrefutable, and then said that there is such a thing as feelings, fate is created, and in a thought, maybe the male protagonist once changed his mind, and found that it was still the best girl who had been with him in obscurity for so many years, rain or shine, and the second female became the first female, and she was happy and happy in the finale.

Fine.

As a result, when I was alone in the yard in the afternoon, I was still distracted, sitting on the swing and swaying slowly and leisurely, the sunlight through the leaves was warm and affectionate, and there were flowers on the rope that the maids had newly picked and pinned to it in the morning, Xie Yiying leaned on it and thought for a while, and whispered to someone: Now you should rest assured.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, love and hatred, there are too many things in life that cannot be chosen and unavoidable, I can only move forward when I meet it, the girl I like is dead, and I still have a lot of days to live.

Time is not with me, and the encounter is too short.

Just as he was so melancholy, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

scared Xie Yiying so much that she almost fell off the swing.

"At night, I want to drink lotus leaf yam and duck soup." Zhou Jin hugged Fantasy and looked at her with a facial expression.

"Huh?" Xie Yiying wondered, why did she have something she wanted to eat today, inexplicably.

Zhou Jin didn't care about her mental activities, stuffed the cat into her arms, turned around and left.

I only left Xie Yiying there to ponder, and now it's a little too late to make soup.

I didn't notice Zhou Jin's careful thinking at all. Fantasy knew better than her, and the paw was on her sleeve, and then pulled it away from the person's back, but unfortunately the little cook who was ******** on the soup didn't understand, and purred the cat's head: "Oh, why is this person so difficult to serve for a while." ”

After complaining, I still resigned myself to making soup for others.

As a result, he began to wander again while making soup, but this time he didn't let anyone catch him, and he reacted first when he heard the gurgling sound of boiling water, "Hey, hey." He quickly extinguished the firewood, removed the lid, and watched the soup that was about to be poured out go down again.

She was thinking about business this time, and immediately said to Zhou Jin at dinner: "The business in the south of Jiangnan will be found out by Ge Heng, right?" ”

"You just thought of it?" Zhou Jin lowered his head and served the soup, his tone was not hurried or slow, but he seemed to be confident, and he was as calm as he had a solution.

The business of the Ye family in Jiangnan has been rushing in since the bidding of the inner library, but at that time, that step had to be taken, and the situation required it, and there was nothing to be done. Now that Ge Heng is back suddenly, he has always been a person who will start from the overall situation, but he can focus on the details, and he can be regarded as a person who has nothing to miss, others can't find out what's going on with the Ye family, but Ge Heng can.

It's just that we've come to this point, and there's no room for recovery. Jiangnan's business can't be stopped, and the big move at this time makes people even more suspicious. As early as when he learned the news of Ge Heng's return, he had already sent people to Jiangnan to inform them of the news, so that they could be cautious, and all the two-line contacts would become single-line, and no one should start with the Ye family and find out here.

Xie Yiying is so worried about business matters now because she doesn't know that six places have been blocked everywhere recently. Someone was grabbing tails in six places, and more than one side of the horses. There were heavy casualties in six places, but Zhou Jin gave a rule of death, never fought back, endured when he was beaten, and remembered when he died.

He's selling blood right now.

Only after this time can you fight back.

When Shopkeeper Ye came out of the store in the evening, it was already dark at night, and he greeted the two remaining guys in the store, watched them extinguish the candles one by one, locked the account books and silver, and then closed the door before leaving with confidence.

A few stars in the sky are shining, and the road is sparsely populated. After walking a short distance, I arrived at the chaos stall of the old king, this old man operated until this time every night, saying that he was too old to sleep, and it was better to come out to earn some silver, but in fact, he was just sympathetic to the people who finished their work at night, thinking that there was a lamp and a wonton in his own house, which was somewhat a consolation.

Shopkeeper Ye is very familiar with the old man, and he is good for him. So Lao Yuan said this hello: "How is the business today?" ”

"It's not like that, I said that you are so old, just leave the matter to the young people, what are you doing so late every day." The old king complained as he filled him with a full portion of hot wontons.

Shopkeeper Ye rolled up his sleeves and sat on the shabby chair, not at all like a person who came in and out of hundreds of thousands of taels of business, smiled at people, took the bowl and started eating, while not forgetting to praise two sentences: "It's delicious!" ”

"Eat quickly, I'll close the stall when you're done, look at the sky, it may rain later, you should go faster, and you don't bring an umbrella, and then you will be drenched in the middle of the road."

"It's okay, it's okay," Shopkeeper Ye snorted and ate a few bites, and didn't forget to drink a big mouthful of thick soup, and took out a few copper plates from his sleeves and buckled them on the table, "If I really let the rain stop halfway, I'll go to Yiyunzhai to stay." ”

Yiyun Zhai, Qinglou, Ye shopkeeper opened the yellow cavity naturally.

"You." The old king put away the copper coins and tea bowls, and did not forget to make fun of people, "Are you okay?" ”

The two were amused for a few words, and Shopkeeper Ye continued his return journey.

He lived alone in a three-in, three-out house, hired a few local people, came to clean the house during the day, cooked for him, and went home at night. Therefore, when the gate was opened, the courtyard was empty and dark.

Shopkeeper Ye has long been used to it, and he doesn't feel lonely.

Close the door, lock it from the inside, and hum a song and stagger towards the house.

The moment he stepped through the door, he sensed something was wrong.

When the stars are scarce, the moon is bright. The moonlight shone in through the unclosed window, revealing the silhouette of a man on a chair that should have been empty.

Shopkeeper Ye stopped there, not knowing whether to run or not for a while.

He is a civilian worker, and he is old, and he is really not good at beating people.

The place where he lived was quite close to the yamen, and the security situation had always been good, so he did not think of hiring a few strong men to guard the gate, or hide on his roof in the middle of the night.

"Shopkeeper Ye." The man was the first to speak.

The voice sounded young and tinged with pleasure.

As he spoke, he stood up, didn't get close to anyone, only lit the candle on the table next to him, "I've been waiting for you for a while, and I saw that Old Man Wang's wontons tasted very good, and I will try them if I have the chance." ”

"Who are you?"

The candles were lit one by one, and the room suddenly lit up, and even the appearance of the uninvited guest could be seen clearly. (To be continued.) )
