Everyone turned to look, but a white-skinned man wearing a white bowler hat, a white tuxedo, white trousers, and white leather shoes was leaning against the staircase railing on the first and second floors.

He also had something in his mouth that looked like it had been rolled up with a lot of hay.

I saw that the man seemed to take a deep breath, and the two fingers of his right hand caught the object, and slowly exhaled a blue smoke ring.

"Who is he?" Mu Xiyao asked suspiciously.

"An old acquaintance here, it seems to be called Han... Han what? Ying'er pondered, "It's a maritime merchant anyway." ”

Maritime? Is that what it looks like?

Mu Xiyao was a little confused. She suddenly remembered that she stayed in this place, and habitually took off her veil when no one was around. Today too, I forgot to put it on.

She quickly turned her head, turned her back to the man, and whispered to Ying'er: "I'll go get the veil, you watch first." ”

Mu Xiyao only hoped that the man didn't see his appearance clearly. It's a pity that the sky is not as good as people want.

"Where are you going, this beautiful young lady?"

Mu Xiyao's body paused, but she didn't turn around.

The man walked around to her, carefully examined her cheeks, and sighed: "With such a delicate face, God has really given you a good opportunity!" ”

"This..."Mu Xiyao still couldn't hold back, and said, "Please let me, don't you know that looking at a woman like this is disrespectful?" ”

"Disrespectful? When did the status of women in your major beams become higher? The man said a word in confusion, and suddenly realized that he had made a mistake. Yes... Excuse me, beautiful young lady. I apologize to you for not having said what a gentleman should have said. As he spoke, he pinched the brim of his hat, slowly took it off, and bowed to Mu Xiyao.

"You... You don't have to..."Mu Xiyao suddenly panicked.

This... What is this etiquette? She'd never seen a man bow to a woman and apologize.

"Please don't panic." The man gently grasped her wrist and lowered his head to leave a shallow kiss on the back of her hand. "I'm sincerely sorry."

"You...!" Mu Xiyao was so embarrassed by his actions that she blushed. She hurriedly retracted her hand and shouted: "Shameless disciple!" ”

Why am I shameless?

The man was a little confused. However, as a good gentleman, he said that it is understandable that the women here are uncomfortable with this kind of behavior.

"Hansen! You're teasing the girl in my teahouse again! What kind of tea are you drinking this time!? ”

"Oh? So dear Wan is here! The man, who should have been called Hansen, looked at the junction of the stairs from the second floor to the third floor. Xiao Wan was dressed in green clothes, and stood there with a light smile.

"If I wasn't there, wouldn't you

Going to turn the world upside down? Xiao Wan said as she walked up to Hansen, who spoke fluently in a foreign language: "Howareyou?" ”

“imfind，thankyou。” Hansen laughed and stepped forward to hug Xiao Wan. "It's still the same boss lady!"

Xiao Wan also hugged him, patted him on the back with her backhand, and asked kindly like an old friend: "Have you made a lot of money outside recently?" ”

The two just hugged each other superficially, and then separated after facing each other.

"Okay." Hansen continued to laugh, "You're a new girl here?" I look pretty raw. ”

"What do you want to do with it?" Xiao Wan was coping with his words while thinking about the pros and cons.

"What a crooked mind! You're really—" Hansen was a little speechless. He leaned into Xiao Wan's ear and said mysteriously: "I have to thank you all these years..."

"Thank me for what?" Xiao Wan asked. She's just in business, and she doesn't care about anything else.

"Those... The woman you handed over to me was basically favored by those royal families and became a royal concubine, and I also gained a lot of benefits. Hansen smiled, "For example, some local customs duties will be waived for me." ”

"Haven't you made a lot of money?!" Xiao Wan's eyes widened.

The girls who sold to Hansen before followed him voluntarily. However, Hansen still gave some gold bars as Xiao Wan's hard work. I didn't expect him to dedicate those girls to the royal family?

Also tariff-free? The tariff of a sea ship is less than a few dozen taels of silver, and most of it is calculated in gold. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it...

"You didn't want to keep one or two for yourself?" Xiao Wan asked in a low voice.

"You know I don't like women." Hansen gave Xiao Wan a wink.

"Ahem..."Even if she knew this secret, Xiao Wan was still scared enough." So you're now..."

“cynthiaandres！” Hansen shouted out the door.

Xiao Wan looked to the first floor suspiciously.

I only heard the decoration in the building being shaken, and then, I saw a black wall, standing at the staircase on the first floor. There seems to be someone in the back who wants to move the wall up.

She frowned a little unhappily and looked at Hansen, "What do you mean?" Are you going to demolish my house? ”

"It's not," Hansen was a little embarrassed, "andres! Just stand there! Don't come up! ”

Bang.

The wall stopped.

Xiao Wan narrowed her eyes, only to notice that the black wall was actually a big black man. If he hadn't been standing upstairs, he might have been in the man's belly.

"Is this your male pet?" She was a little surprised.

"Almost, a bodyguard bought for ten taels of silver." Hansen: Hey

Hey smile.

At this time, Mu Xiyao also changed her veil and walked out slowly. "Sister Wan... He? ”

"Don't be afraid." Xiao Wan glanced at Han Sen angrily and shook Mu Xiyao's hand, "He's not a bad person." He likes men. ”

What the?!

Mu Xiyao's eyes widened in surprise and looked at Han Sen.

"This beautiful young lady, please don't look at me like that." Hansen waved his hand indifferently, "I won't fall in love with you if you look at me again, because I have someone I like." ”

"Oh..."Mu Xiyao smiled reluctantly and nodded. Somehow, there was always something churning in her stomach.

"Okay, you're not just here for tea today, are you?" Xiao Wan said angrily, "If you come to make trouble today, then I won't welcome you here." Do you want me to send off passengers? ”

"Do you treat an elegant gentleman like that?" Hansen was a little helpless.

"If you have something to say, I'm busy!"

"Okay, I said it. Which girl are you talking about who owes you more than a hundred taels of gold? ”

"That's it?"

"Yes, usually the girl you give me has a tael of gold in the sky. I'm curious about what a hundred taels of gold is. ”

"Didn't you see that?" Xiao Wan bowed to Mu Xiyao, "Xiyan, take the veil off and let him take a good look." ”

"Huh?" Mu Xiyao was stunned. No, what does Sister Wan mean? Even if this person likes a man, he is also a man!

Han Sen saw Mu Xiyao's reluctance, and said indifferently: "Forget it, as a gentleman, it will not be difficult for others." Besides, haven't we already taken a good look? What do you say, beautiful young lady? ”

"Ahh Yes, yes! Mu Xiyao seemed to be a little incoherent.

"Then do you think she's worth a hundred taels of gold?" Xiao Wan looked at Hansen playfully.

"Are you testing me? Dear Wan. Hansen smiled politely, "Whether she is worth my more than 100 taels of gold naturally depends on her value." If that person doesn't like this type, wouldn't my gold be wasted? ”

"What the hell are you going to do?" Xiao Wan seemed to have a faint uneasiness in her heart. She seemed to realize something.

"Hmm... You know, when I came to the Northern Capital before, it was tariff-free, right? Hansen asked.

Xiao Wan nodded. She naturally knew about this, and because of this, Hansen didn't know how much gold he had saved.

"However, I haven't been here for a year or two, and I didn't expect this northern capital to change people." Hansen sighed helplessly. "I heard that now a man named Ye Shuqiu is in power, and this country has also been renamed Daliang. The previous series of tariffs has been restored to the original state. When I came, I almost suffered a loss and was put in prison! ”

Xiao Wan thought of his wolf

embarrassed, I couldn't help but snicker. "And then?"

"Can you help me inquire about this Ye Shuqiu, what does he like? I want to make a value exchange with him and exempt my big ships from customs duties. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare come to you for tea. I can't afford to drink! With that, Hansen leaned against the guardrail, looked up at the beams, and said no more.

When she heard the name Ye Shuqiu, Mu Xiyao's heart was sudden. She quickly pursed her lips and adjusted her emotions.

Xiao Wan looked at Han Sen with strange eyes, and then at Mu Xiyao. This guy didn't come to negotiate with himself after understanding everything well, right? That Ye Shuqiu really doesn't have any preferences, but he seems to like this woman...

"What's wrong?" Hansen asked suspiciously, "Is this difficult to do?" ”

"It's not... Mainly, I don't know what we Ye Xiang like..."Xiao Wan pretended to be very helpless, "He wears a silver-white mask all day long, and he doesn't show his true face, and we ordinary people are also helpless." ”

"I see—" Hansen pondered for a moment. Looks like I'm going to need to find out more. Thank you, dear Wan, and we'll talk next time we have time! ”

"It's not... Aren't you here to stay for a cup of tea? ”

"What kind of tea can I drink? The money is flowing out, I feel distressed! ”

"You..."

"Lord Ye Xiang arrives at ——!"

"What?!"
