Li Mao took Su Qing to the outside of the city to see the wharf and the cattle, sheep, fish, and vegetable markets, and then went to the factory for a trip, on the way back, Li Mao said: "In the past two years, I have accumulated some money, plus your marriage, there are also seventy or eighty thousand yuan, I want to buy a few pieces of land, where do you think it is appropriate?" Su Qing said: "Buying acres of land is a big deal, if there is no place to take care of it, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be invaded, you have been a monk since childhood, and you have no parents and brothers to maintain, this matter is not easy." ”

Li Mao said: "Just buy land in Chengwu County and hand it over to Lao Taishan to take care of, what do you think?" ”

Su Qing smiled and said nothing, Li Mao urged again and again, Su Qing said: "You just said that husband and wife treat each other with sincerity, and in the blink of an eye, you will test me with this."

Li Mao said with emotion: "A person must always have roots, and without roots he will become duckweed, your roots are becoming martial arts, even if you follow me to the ends of the earth, you are also tied to this land in your heart." Your uncle wanted to harm me that day, and his intention was also for the benefit of your Su family, if you don't hate it, it's a lie, but time has passed, you and I have become husband and wife, even if it is a big grudge, we should clear up. ”

With tears in her eyes, Su Qing asked, "You really don't hold a grudge against the Su family?" ”

Li Mao wiped away her tears and said, "The Su family owes me already with you, and from now on, the two will be cleared." ”

Su Qing burst into tears and laughed, and said: "He wanted to harm you that day, I could have stopped it, but I ...... it."

She exchanged tears and remorse.

Li Mao smiled and reassured: "This is what you owe me, and you have to pay it back for the rest of your life." ”

Su Qing nodded vigorously and said continuously: "I am willing, I am willing to repay you for the rest of my life." ”

The knot that had plagued her for a long time was untied, before that, she felt deeply guilty for not preventing Su Dong from harming Li Mao, and after learning that Li Mao miraculously got out, the Su family fell into an extreme panic, in order to protect herself, she used her beauty tricks, hoping to use her to block Li Mao's mouth. Although she was resentful in her heart, she still agreed for the sake of the family's interests and the guilt in her heart.

A month after marriage, she and Li Mao respected each other like guests, but the intimacy on the surface could not bridge the inner alienation, she did not dare to have the slightest resentment, she carefully endured her husband's coldness, for the Su family, for the guilt in her heart.

Since yesterday's return from the province, everything has changed significantly, Li Mao took the initiative to touch the forbidden area, with an extremely honest heart, which made her moved, surprised, but also felt faintly uneasy, she longed for all this, but also afraid of losing all this, she was eager to open her heart to him, sincere, and afraid that a passion would eventually be exchanged for harm, she was cautious, hesitated to move forward three steps and two steps back. But now she finally understands Li Mao's sincerity and can finally feel her husband's love for her.

Happiness came suddenly, too abruptly, too violent, and she couldn't breathe.

After struggling between tears and laughter, she finally chose to give up, give up the disguise on her body, and completely open her heart to the man in front of her, who was still a stranger just now, and give her whole body to him. So on the street at dusk, people saw the side of Su Sanniang's little bird who did not let the eyebrows, she hugged her husband with open arms, put her face on his chest, and exchanged tears, and then she naughtily rubbed away the tears on her husband's chest, and replaced it with a red smiling face, she said: "Listen well, I, Su Qing, marry a chicken and a dog and a dog, and I will follow you in this life." ”

Seeing Su Sanniang, who has always been strong and arrogant, and more manly than men, bowed her head to herself so softly, Li Mao's vanity was greatly satisfied, and she was about to take Su Qing to the newly opened brothel in the town to listen to the music, Su Qing said timidly: "I didn't wear men's clothes today, how embarrassing, let's do it another day." Li Mao said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, you and I are husband and wife, I'm afraid of who will make irresponsible remarks." Su Qing changed his words and said, "Okay." ”

The newly opened brothel is called "Loulan Pavilion", doing a clearance business, a group of blonde singers and dancers are said to be selling their art and not selling their bodies, Loulan Pavilion has branches in Chang'an, Luoyang, Taiyuan, Chengdu, Jiangling, Yangzhou, Fengxiang and other places, and there is also one in Yunzhou, his behind-the-scenes boss identity is very mysterious, it is said that he is after the Gaochang royal family.

These blonde and blue-eyed bearded girls are not uncommon in metropolises like Chang'an, Luoyang, and Yunzhou, but in Caozhou, this is still the first one, a small military town can attract the famous Loulan Pavilion to open a branch, and it also confirms from the side that Gushan has huge commercial potential, which is by no means comparable to ordinary military towns.

After the opening of Loulan Pavilion, the business was extremely hot, and the indigenous tycoons from one city and six counties came one after another, causing the city inns to be overcrowded, and the business of wine shops and restaurants also became popular.

Because of the large flow of people, the city bureau and the city defense battalion have sent special personnel to guard the vicinity to prevent accidents. Seeing Li Mao leading his newlywed wife over for a walk, everyone rushed over, and the stars surrounded the couple like a moon.

Li Mao laughed at this, although Su Qing, who had seen a big battle, was not timid, her cheeks were also hot and red with shame, this was the first time she had come to this kind of place, she wanted to throw her hands away, she was afraid that Li Mao's face would be ugly, and she was afraid that people would laugh - she was a person who refused to admit defeat in her bones.

Qu Rentong, the big shopkeeper of "Loulan Pavilion", saw this formation, and frowned unconsciously. When he came to Gushan Town to set up a museum, he went to visit Li Mao, and Li Mao warmly received him, but refused to accept his gifts.

In the process of site selection and construction of the brothel, Li Mao gave him great convenience, although he was not familiar with the place, Qu Rentong did not suffer any difficulties from the city bureau, but the more this is the case, the more uneasy Qu Rentong's heart is. He has traveled south and north for 20 years, and the three hundred military states of Datang have run all over, how have you ever seen a cat that is not fishy?

Now seeing Li Mao coming in this formation, Qu Rentong is overjoyed, the cat is finally fishy, not afraid that he is greedy, but afraid that he will not touch. Qu Rentong changed into a new robe and went out of the door. Li Mao said to the left and right: "I accompanied the third lady to listen to the music today, it is for private matters, you don't have to accompany me." After repelling everyone, he said hello to Qu Rentong and followed him into the Qu Pavilion, fearing that he would be uneasy, so he accepted his kindness and settled in the best Tianzi No. 1 Courtyard of "Loulan Pavilion".

With Su Qing here, Qu Rentong didn't dare to make a mistake, he summoned the best kabuki in the hall and performed a song and dance that is said to be the original Western Regions. Li Mao was the first time to see such an exotic style, but for him who had mixed up in the casino in later generations, the song and dance in front of him could only be regarded as a novelty, but it was not shocking, but Su Qing was stunned, she couldn't take her eyes off it, and she didn't dare to take a breath out of the nervous atmosphere.

Li Mao looked at his wife's monograph, his heart was full of love, Su Qing was not very old, and she was actually a very simple woman if she stripped away the shell imposed on her by the environment. The wine of Loulan Pavilion is unique, Li Mao drank a little, felt that the strength was quite big, he raised the glass cup in his hand, and read it casually: "Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink the pipa, immediately urge the ......" Reading this, but there was no follow-up, he was stunned for a while, and suddenly sighed, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Qu Rentong, who was accompanying him, couldn't understand why Li Mao's face sank, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to take a breath.

Su Qing gave Li Mao a look, and said that he was tired and wanted to leave, Li Mao knew that he was out of shape, so he followed her words and got up and left Loulan Pavilion. Qu Rentong sent the two out of the house tremblingly, but Li Mao couldn't say a word, he didn't know the good and the bad, and he swallowed his saliva nervously. Su Qing said: "The sixth day of the first month of next month is my father's birthday, please ask the host to supervise them to rehearse a few songs and dances. Qu Rentong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Madame is important, it is a blessing that they have cultivated for several lifetimes, and the kid will supervise it day and night, and he will never dare to embarrass his wife." ”

Coming out of the brothel, Li Mao asked Su Qing: "Taishan's birthday, do you really want to invite them?" Su Qing said: "Why not have fun talking?" He grabbed Li Mao's arm and said, "Why were you unhappy just now, that sigh scared him." Li Mao said with a smile: "The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river." The homeland of the Western Regions has been in the dust for many years, and I feel it. Su Qing has read books for a few years, but she doesn't pay much attention to the poems, Du Mu's two poems that have not yet been published, she listened to them from her left ear and came out of her right ear, and she didn't have any special feelings.

"I just sighed, is he scared like that, but he still goes south and north." Li Mao realized that he might have made a big mistake and hurriedly diverted the topic.

Su Qing said: "You naturally don't think, you have followed Xue County's order since you were still in the temple, and you became an official, how do you know that the people are afraid of officials like rats and cats, the more he goes south and north, the more he knows that the officials are terrible, and that is a monster that will ruin your family if you don't agree with each other." ”

Li Maohuo stood up, unhappy, and Su Qing hurriedly said, "I didn't mean you...... It's a monster. Li Mao said: "I'm not angry with you, I'm ......" He was stunned for a while, and when his eyes moved to Su Qing again, his eyes were full of grabbing light.

Su Qing was taken aback and hurriedly said, "You want to do it again...... What the? ”

Li Mao smiled slightly, grabbed his wife's shoulder, and said softly: "I plan to do a business and earn his last penny, and this matter is up to you." ”
