Under the mediation of Sun Shuao, Qu Wu and Mi Hong reached an agreement on cooperation: they became each other's suppliers and agents. And the first cooperation was that Mi Hong provided all the grain purchased by Qu Wu, a total of ten ships; And Qu Wu brought two boxes of liquor, two hundred lighters, and three catties of gold from Shou Meng to pay Qi Hong as payment.

In order to facilitate the next cooperation, Mi Hong cut a piece of engraved Yingzhan gold obliquely into two halves, and Mi Hong and Qu Wu each held half of it, so that no matter who else went to find each other, as long as Yingzhan Jin could be seamlessly put together, it would be like meeting each other, so that subordinates could replace each other with each other.

After completing the grain procurement task, the next step was to arrange the delivery and boarding of the ship, and Qu Wu and Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief.

When Qu Wu and Ziyan returned to the Hengchang Inn, it was already one or two o'clock, and according to the curfew regulations, they were not allowed to walk around the street at one or three o'clock without special reasons, so it was relatively safe at night.

In the past, Qu Wu always treated Zi Yan as a child, so he was not taboo to live in the same room with Zi Yan, but after returning to the guest room, what happened today made Qu Wu feel a little different from before.

"Ziyan, I've been treating you as a child for the past few months, but today I suddenly feel that you have grown up, although you also regard me as your own brother, but the brothers and sisters are still different from men and women, I will now go downstairs to find a store and open another room."

When Ziyan heard this, she was very surprised, and blurted out almost instinctively: "No, I'm scared alone."

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm just going to open the next room, and besides, it's curfew, so there's nothing unsafe. ”

"I'm afraid of ghosts, you can't go."

"How can there be ghosts in this world? Ghosts are made up by adults and children. ”

"No, there are really ghosts in the dark, and I'll be scared to death if you're not there."

"Ziyan, you are an adult, you can't be childish."

"Who's childish?" Ziyan turned her head and said.

Qu Wu was helpless, unable to convince her and felt inconvenient to be in the same room with her, although this room had two beds, but after all, it was still in the same space.

Qu Wu really couldn't resist her, so he could only follow her, and after she fell asleep, he also washed up and fell asleep, nesting in the quilt to watch the drama on his mobile phone.

Zi Yan saw him watching the drama, and he wanted to watch it, Qu Wu saw that she was disobedient today, and deliberately ignored her, who knew that Zi Yan didn't know where she got the courage, so she came directly and snatched it from Qu Wu's hands, Qu Wu hurriedly hid her mobile phone in the quilt, Zi Yan didn't care about 3721, she lifted Qu Wu's quilt and pounced on it to snatch it.

People say that men chase women across the mountain, women chase men across the shirt, Qu Wu tried his best to avoid skin-to-skin contact with Zi Yan, and Zi Yan didn't dare to hold Qu Wu's hand because she was shy.

But at this moment, both of them are dressed thinly, and the physical contact that they usually deliberately avoid is suddenly overpassed, and at this moment, Zi Yan, who was going to snatch the mobile phone, suddenly realized that she was so close to the male god she had always admired, and in an instant, she pierced the boundary between the two men and women, and the love accumulated for several months was instantly like an avalanche and could not be controlled, and the hand that snatched the mobile phone no longer grabbed the mobile phone, but hugged Qu Wu desperately.

Qu Wu is a man of flesh and blood after all, how can he resist the entanglement of this nephrite warm fragrant snake? After a while, the two embraced each other.

Ziyan's first kiss was unreservedly dedicated to her favorite person.

Qu Wu quickly came back to his senses, gently pushed Zi Yan away, and said: "Zi Yan, I know you like me, and I like you very much, but I am not as good as you imagined, if you follow me in the future, I will suffer a lot."

"I don't believe it, so tell me, what are you not good at?" Ziyan said.

"I don't know how to take care of people, and I am very ambitious, always thinking that one day I will travel around the world and see the world."

"What's wrong with that? Men are taken care of by women, and they want to travel around the world because you are young, and you will calm down when you are truly mature in two years. ”

"If I travel the world, you don't object?"

"You're a man, why should you object to doing what a man should do? As long as you care about me, it's enough. ”

Qu Wu heard Ziyan say this, so it was difficult to say anything. In fact, he also thought that he would marry Ziyan one day, but because of the unforgettable love with Wu Mengyao, Qu Wu's curiosity to taste the forbidden fruit at that time had faded, and he knew that many things should not be rushed, and it was the sweetest thing to really get the other party's feelings, and what was easy to get was often easy to lose.

The next day, Ziyan decided to go to the place where she used to live.

Zi Yan took Qu Wu to a large courtyard, only to see that the courtyard gate was closed, and there were two soldiers guarding the courtyard gate standing outside the door. In the scroll that Zi Bo handed over to Qu Wu, it was stated that this compound was the hereditary property of Zi Yan's family.

Qu Wu didn't know who Sikong was, so he asked Ziyan. Ziyan informed Qu Wu that the imperial court had four ministers: Sima, Sikou, Situ, and Sikong, with Sima in charge of the army, Sikou in charge of punishment, Situ in charge of personnel, and Sikong in charge of land. The main duties of the Sikong were to measure the proximity of the land, to discern the quality of the land, to grant it to the people to cultivate, and to determine the amount of taxes to be levied.

Things are no longer in people, Zi Yan looked at this courtyard that had been occupied by others lonely, tears kept flowing down, here are all the memories of her golden childhood, there are memories of the warmth and caress of her parents and family, and now she can only look at it as an irrelevant person, this kind of sadness and sadness is like a blunt knife cutting meat, painful.

Qu Wu saw that Ziyan was sad, although he also understood the pain in her heart, but he didn't know how to comfort her. had to gently pat her shoulder, and after Zi Yan felt the warmth of Qu Wu's big hand, the bones on her body were soft for a while, and she leaned into the arms around Qu Wu's arms.

Qu Wu took out a tissue from his pocket and gave it to Ziyan, wiped her tears for her, and said to her, "I'll go to the gate to have a look." ”

Qu Wu let go of Ziyan, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and said to the soldiers guarding the gate of the courtyard: "Master Jun, it's like this, this woman used to live here, and she has been away from Yingdu for a long time, so I want to take a look, in order to relieve the sorrow of lovesickness, can we go in and have a look?" Just look at it for a while. Qu Wu pointed at Ziyan and said.

One of the guards said, "In that case, please wait for me to report later." So saying, he opened the door and went in.
