Xia Qingyun stretched out his hand to grab it, but Si Hongbowen was much taller than her, and he was thrown into the air after a few scratches, so he had to hug his robe and sit down with his cheeks puffed.

The chain of the pocket watch was attached to the robe, and Si Hong Bowen couldn't go far, so he sat down next to her, checked the small and delicate gold watch, and asked with a smile: "At first glance, it is something from Fanbang, and it was given to you by the emperor?" ”

Xia Qingyun bit her lip and didn't say anything, and couldn't think of what to say for a while. You know, men's jealousy is no less than that of women, and it is even more terrible if you meet a man with a careful eye.

However, with her understanding of Si Hong's blog post, he will not be jealous of this little thing.

Men are cautious of women, mostly because they care about each other and are afraid of losing each other. One is that he doesn't trust women, and the other is that he feels that he is not worthy of the other party, and he is afraid that a better man will snatch his woman away. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a man's lack of self-confidence.

But Si Hong Bowen has nothing to do with these two anyway.

If he didn't trust Xia Qingyun, he wouldn't have given her the tiger talismans of Tunbao and Zhenyuanjun, and he wouldn't have given her the messenger bird of the shadow gate. Moreover, he is a dignified Zhenyuan general, and he can't find a second young man who is better than him when he looks for the Great Qi Country.

She squinted at Si Hong Bowen, he opened and closed the lid of the pocket watch intentionally or unintentionally, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile, and he didn't seem to care too much.

"It was brought back from overseas by the prince of the emperor, but the money was paid by me myself, not by him." Xia Qingyun explained, but he was a little uneasy in his heart.

Although she carried cargo on a merchant ship south of Huangfu. But he didn't let him buy wine and pocket watches or anything like that, strictly speaking, this was really a gift from Huangfu Xiangnan to her.

But the two have an innocent business relationship, Huangfu Xiangnan has a cheerful personality, and in Xia Qingyun's opinion, these little things are nothing more than a little expression of affection between business partners, and there is absolutely no thought of anything wrong. In order not to make Si Hongbowen suspicious, she had no choice but to say that she bought it at her own expense.

Si Hong Bowen handed her back the pocket watch, leaned back with his hands behind his head, leaned against the wall and looked at her with a smile. "It doesn't hurt to send it. There are women in a family. You're in the prime of your life. He happened to be young, and if he said that he was not moved, who would believe it. However, you are now the county lord, and the Huangfu family is rich. It's just a grass people. Just a businessman. There is still no comparison with being a husband. ”

His words were light and light, but in Xia Qingyun's ears, there was something unpleasant. She took the watch off the loops of her robe. Put it on the desk, keep your eyes down and don't speak.

Huangfu Xiangnan is also a friend of his own, and he has traveled across the ocean to exchange these rare things after a lot of hardships. He was different from his elder brother Huangfu Xiangdong, Xia Qingyun intuitively felt that Huangfu Xiangnan also sincerely regarded himself as a friend, and did not please her just to marry her.

Si Hongbowen's words meant that he looked down on Huangfu Xiangnan, which made her a little unacceptable. He used to be just a village girl in the mountains, and there was a kind of friend around, the Hua family and the Yao family, all of whom were businessmen, was he inferior in his eyes?

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but be a little angry, why didn't she find him so arrogant?

Seeing that Xia Qingyun was silent, Si Hong Bowen put away the smile on his face and asked coldly, "What?" I'm sorry I said him, you're not happy? ”

"Nothing." Xia Qingyun turned his head and replied lightly. "The tea is cold, I'll go boil some hot water."

Before she could stand up, Si Hong Bowen grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms suddenly.

"Qingyun, I didn't mean to make you angry. It's just that you know, I'm much older than you, and I'm busy with military affairs, so I don't have much time to spend with you. Sometimes I really worry that you're going to like someone else. In my life, apart from you, I have never tried to coax a woman with my heart, and I don't know how to coax her. If my words are too much, it is unintentional. ”

Xia Qingyun remembered the snow fox armpit skin he gave in the morning, and his heart was moved, and he leaned towards him slightly, "You are good to me, I remember it."

She instantly remembered that when she was in the southwest, he was covered with scars, catching fireflies for her by the river, and the softness in the deepest part of her heart rippled, and she didn't say any more, just quietly clinging to him.

Si Hong Bowen grinded affectionately between her ears and temples, and said in a low voice, but with a somewhat unquestionable tone: "Qingyun, you don't want to do business with the Huangfu family anymore in the future." You have a tea garden and a tea house, and with the title of the lord of Taiping, someone will send silver even if you don't go out. Besides, the husband's money and reward, even if you can't eat it until your grandchildren, you will stay at home with my mother and your mother, and when I stop the military affairs at the border pass, we will get married, okay? ”

Xia Qingyun's heart sank, speaking of which, he still minded his relationship with Huangfu Xiangnan, this feeling made her feel very uncomfortable.

It's better to reach out and ask for it than to earn it yourself. She doesn't want to be an ancient woman who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't go out of the door, she only does it every day, chatting about family life, or dealing with the young ladies and ladies of those official eunuchs, and wastes a lot of time.

Moreover, he also agreed with Huangfu to the south that he would buy a few merchant ships, and next time he would go to sea with Huangfu's caravan and sell tea to Fanbang. The sales contract with Zhengbo still has three years to expire, so how can you say that you won't do it if you don't do it.

She turned around with great difficulty, pursed her lips, and asked, "What if I can't say it well?" You eat the court, I grow tea and sell tea, and I earn innocent silver, what can't I do? ”

She stared at Si Hong Bowen, and Si Hong Bowen also looked at her, and there was some stubbornness in their eyes.

The look in Si Hongbowen's eyes dimmed, and a trace of disappointment flashed in the depths of his eyes, "Could it be that the husband is not as good as those tea and silver tickets in your heart?" In the future, you will become the wife of General Zhenyuan, and you will also show up to talk to men about business? ”

Unreasonable, Xia Qingyun was secretly dissatisfied in his heart. She kept a smile and explained: "When I was in Dongchuan Town the year before last, I signed a five-year sales contract with Zhengbo, and you don't know it. It's not an unsightly thing to do business, so why can't you do it? I have earned money, and I can also help your Zhenyuan army."

"I don't need your help, my husband didn't fight like a barbarian before. You just have to give birth to me at home and accompany my parents. He grabbed her shoulders domineeringly, and was about to bow his head and kiss her.

Xia Qingyun's face changed angrily by his last sentence, pushed him away, and jumped to the ground, "I don't want to have children!" I'm just sixteen years old and there's still a lot to do! ”

Si Hongbowen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xia Qingyun to lose his temper at him, and snorted coldly with a straight face, "Just because you don't want to do business with the emperor's son, you don't want to marry a husband?" ”

"Don't marry!" Xia Qingyun turned around angrily and didn't look at him.

"Okay, you said it!" Si Hongbo stood up suddenly, grabbed the brocade robe and slammed the door.

There was a heavy sound of closing the door behind him, Xia Qingyun closed his eyes in pain, and tears rolled down his cheeks. (To be continued......)
