"I want fifty taels."

Su Muqiu looked at Fang Jinyi's outstretched hand, and said with a funny face: "I haven't seen you for a few hours, and as soon as you meet, you ask for money from your husband, and your husband is very sad." ”

"Come less, you just say whether to give it or not." Fang Jinyi retracted his hand and said with an indifferent expression.

"So insincere, aren't you afraid that I really won't give it to you?" Su Muqiu sat on the stool next to him, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea and drank it.

Fang Jinyi glanced at him and said, "It's okay if you don't give it, it's a big deal that I will give the jade with the rabbit engraved on it to Shengsheng, although the rabbit carved on it will lower the price a lot, but the asking price of fifty taels should still be bought by someone." ”

Su Muqiu frowned slightly, then put down the teacup, and said with a displeased face: "That piece of jade was specially brought back to you from another place, how can you say that you can sell it, and it is only sold for fifty taels?!" ”

"Somewhere else?" Fang Jinyi frowned slightly, and looked at Su Muqiu suspiciously, "Didn't you say that you bought it at the market in Anqing County?" ”

Su Muqiu snorted disdainfully and said, "How can there be such a good jade in such a small place, not to mention that jade is priceless, it is more than enough to buy a few Anqing counties." ”

"That means you've been carrying this piece of jade with you for a long time?" Fang Jinyi looked at him and said, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Su Muqiu's face coughed lightly unnaturally, and asked, "What do you want fifty taels for?" Is it something to buy? ”

Fang Jinyi sighed and said sadly: "Sheng Sheng is going back to see her father and mother tomorrow, she is serving me with all her heart, I can't let her go back empty-handed." ”

"Daddy?" Su Muqiu was a little stunned, "She still has a father?" ”

"No father and no mother, so how did she get here?" Fang Jinyi glanced at him unhappily, and said: "But her biological father and mother have passed away a long time ago, and tomorrow she will go back to see her father and mother who adopted her when she was a child." ”

Su Muqiu chuckled lightly and said, "Then I'll tell the steward later, take a hundred taels for her, and by the way, choose a few medicinal materials that are good for the old man's health and bring them back." ”

"That's the best, then I'll thank you for Shengsheng first." Fang Jinyi said with a smile in her eyes, looking very happy.

"By the way, how long is she going? Do you want me to send another maid to serve you? Su Muqiu suddenly remembered that as soon as Sheng Sheng left, Ziyi was the only one to serve Fang Jinyi.

Fang Jinyi shook his head and said, "No, I don't have anything to do in the village on weekdays, Ziyi alone is enough." ”

"Okay, anyway, you are the hostess of the village, you can do whatever you want, you don't have to do it yourself." Su Muqiu looked at her with a smile on her face and said, her eyes were full of doting.

Fang Jinyi looked at him, then got up and walked to the door, Su Muqiu looked at her and wondered, "Where are you going?" ”

"I went to see Sheng Sheng and asked her if she needed anything else. It will take at least half a month for her to go, and she has to bring everything she should bring. Fang Jinyi said without looking back, leaving only a back for him.

Su Muqiu looked at the direction in which Fang Jinyi disappeared, thoughtfully, he had just learned that the plan had just changed, and Shengsheng was going back to see his father, how could it be so coincidental?

On the second day, after Sheng Sheng thanked Fang Jinyi and Su Muqiu, he was ready to go down the mountain, Su Muqiu saw that she was Fang Jinyi's personal maid, and was worried that she would have an accident on the way down the mountain, so he sent a subordinate from the village to send her down the mountain. Although Sheng Sheng made many excuses, Su Muqiu was resolute, Fang Jinyi was also helping, and Sheng Sheng could only kowtow and thank him.

After breakfast, Su Muqiu was reading the account book in the study, and then Fang Jinyi came with Ziyi, and also carried two plates of snacks.

Facing Su Muqiu, who was a little surprised, Fang Jinyi looked much more natural, and asked Ziyi to put down the dim sum and leave.

"Why is Madame here?" Su Muqiu got up and walked to the chair next to Fang Jinyi and sat down, glanced at the snacks on the table, and said, "Li Xing did it." ”

Fang Jinyi nodded, a little disappreciative: "She said that you didn't eat much for breakfast, let me send it over, by the way, see if I can help you?" ”

"It's all small things, but I'm glad Madame is willing to help." Su Muqiu took Fang Jinyi's hand, pulled her to the desk, and let her sit on the chair.

Fang Jinyi looked at the account book on the table and asked, "Then what can I do for you?" ”

"Well, let me see." Su Muqiu bent down to look through the pile of books, ledgers, and record books on the table.

Fang Jinyi's face lowered her head a little unnaturally, Su Muqiu was too close to her at the moment, which made her very uncomfortable.

After Su Muqiu looked through it, he asked, "Will Madame read the account book?" ”

"No, it won't."

"Will you compare the difference in the amount of medicinal herbs in and out?"

"No, it won't."

"Will ......"

"Forget it, I'm still not going to mess with you." Fang Jinyi suddenly interrupted Su Muqiu's words, got up and quickly walked to his original position.

Su Muqiu looked at her somewhat hurried steps, followed suspiciously, saw her somewhat crimson face, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and said: "Although there is nothing that Madame can do, Madame can accompany me, I will be in a good mood, I will be in a good mood, and I can do things quickly." ”

Fang Jinyi only felt that her face was hot, and she felt a little hot, she looked at Su Muqiu and hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, I came to you to have something to tell you." ”

"I'll just say, how could Madame suddenly be so kind to bring me food, and say that she wants to help." Su Muqiu pretended to sigh sadly, then raised his chin and said, "Say, what do you want to say to me?" ”

"I want silver." Fang Jinyi said succinctly.

Su Muqiu was stunned for a moment, shook her head a little funny, and then picked up the snacks on the table and ate them, "Who are you going to give it to this time?" ”

"For my own use." Fang Jinyi looked at him and said, "I'm going down the mountain tomorrow." ”

Su Muqiu's hand moved, looked at her and frowned, "What are you doing down the mountain?" ”

Fang Jinyi showed a displeased look and asked, "Can't I go down the mountain?" ”

"It's not that you can't go down, I'm just curious why you're going down?" Su Muqiu chuckled.

"I don't want to tell you." Fang Jinyi turned back to his body and did not look at him again.

Su Muqiu frowned unhappily, and said in a low voice: "As your husband, I have the right to know your whereabouts and intentions. ”

"My place is the town down the hill, and the intention is that I stay in the mountains all day and get bored and want to go down the mountain to see." Fang Jinyi said impatiently, and even glared at Su Muqiu as he spoke.

Su Muqiu looked at her and was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, then tomorrow I will send two people to accompany you down the mountain to protect you." ”

Fang Jinyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Li is also going with you." ”

"She can't go." Su Muqiu refused without hesitation, and the expression on his face looked grim.

Fang Jinyi looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Actually, she already knew that you didn't allow it, but she just asked me to ask again." ”

Su Muqiu didn't speak, bowed his head and ate snacks, looking like he was thinking about something.

Fang Jinyi looked at him a little distracted, she didn't know why, she felt that the relationship between Su Muqiu and Li Xing was very complicated, but it gave her a feeling of clarity at a glance.

"You can ask Ziyi to go to the steward to get the silver later, and you can take as much as you want." Su Muqiu suddenly spoke, and took a piece of dim sum and handed it to her.

Fang Jinyi took the dim sum, raised her eyebrows and said, "You are not afraid that I will take more and then hide it privately." ”

Su Muqiu smiled very chicly, waved his hand and said, "Madame doesn't have to hide it privately, all the silver in the village belongs to Madame, including me, who can earn silver, is also Madame's." ”

Fang Jinyi's eyes changed slightly, then he raised his eyebrows, and teased, "There is no one else here, who are you talking about these sweet words?" ”

"Sweet words are naturally spoken to the beloved." Su Muqiu said, leaned forward, looked at Fang Jinyi, whose face changed slightly, and said with a smile: "And at this time, there is only Madame here." ”

Fang Jinyi turned his head to look at him, with a natural expression, "Aren't you afraid?" ”

"Afraid of what?"

"Some words are too much, but they come true."

Su Muqiu looked at her with a chuckle and shook her head, and asked, "Are you afraid of coming true?" ”

Fang Jinyi looked at him seriously, and after a moment, he replied, "I'm afraid." Then he stood up and looked at him, and continued, "So don't say these things again." Between you and me, the word 'love' should not appear. ”

Su Muqiu also stood up, raised her hand and gently stroked the broken hair on her forehead, then looked into her eyes and said softly, "I think so too." ”

Fang Jinyi smiled and said to him, "I'll go first." ”

Su Muqiu watched Fang Jinyi leave, turned around and sat back on the chair to continue eating the snack, but after just two bites, he lost his appetite, and felt that this favorite dim sum on weekdays had become a little difficult to swallow at the moment.

At night, Fang Jinyi and Su Muqiu lay on the bed, neither of them spoke, as if after coming back this time, they rarely spoke during the night rest.

"There's nothing to do in the village tomorrow, I'll go down the mountain with you."

"No, you don't."

"I want to go."

"I don't take you."

Su Muqiu frowned slightly, turned her head to look at Fang Jinyi who was lying flat, "You hate me?" ”

"I don't like it."

"That's what you hate me?" Su Muqiu said unhappily.

"Well, you can understand that too." Fang Jinyi said calmly.

Su Muqiu suddenly felt a fire rise in her heart, and then said with an indignant face: "If you do this again, I won't give you any money in the future." ”

Fang Jinyi turned her head to look at him, was silent for a moment, and said, "I don't hate you. ”

"So you like me." Su Muqiu said with a smile, with affirmation in his tone.

Fang Jinyi frowned, didn't pay attention to him anymore, only turned over and closed his eyes to sleep.

The room was quiet, and the sound of each other's breathing came into her ears, and Su Muqiu looked at the bed and was distracted.

"Fang Jinyi, have you ever been tempted by me?"

No sound. Su Muqiu waited quietly, because he knew that Fang Jinyi was not asleep.

"Nope."

"Really?" Su Muqiu chuckled, and then the smile on his face slowly disappeared, "Fortunately, I didn't either." ”

There was silence again, Su Muqiu turned his head to look at Fang Jinyi, who was facing away from him, then turned his head and closed his eyes to sleep, but only heard a voice in his ears.

"That being the case, that couldn't be better."
