The moonlight was hidden behind the fog, and although the starlight had fallen a few times, the night had reached its deepest hour, and this faint light could not make it warm, but the cyan light reflected it like the frost of winter, and it was very cold.

In the room opposite the inn, the two of them went to sleep separately, probably not sleeping all night.

The next morning, the sun did not come as promised, and in Suosuo's voice, Su Xiaoyan opened the window, and a refreshing breeze came to her face, sweeping away the dryness of the room, and the expression on her face became normal under this gentle touch.

I'm afraid I've forgotten about last night's events.

Blowing the wind, holding the chin with both hands and pestle by the window, as far as the eye can see, in the misty light rain, Jiangning City is like a layer of veil, there are few pedestrians on the street, and there are few people who occasionally open the shops on the street, compared with the hustle and bustle of the past, Jiangning in front of him is like a lazy sleeping beauty, which makes people can't bear to disturb.

The Qinhuai River in the distance is leisurely, and occasionally a small boat rows by, passing through the green willows and flowers, with less fat powder smell and more leisure. A little farther away, a few houses were plumped with green smoke, which had just risen from the chimneys and was dispersed by the rain.

The raindrops fell gently on the eaves and roof tiles, and it seemed that they were reluctant to disturb the tranquility.

After the rain, it is a new idea, this is the first rain in Jiangning this year, but it also makes some irritable emotions temporarily soaked in the rain, quiet as many years ago in the peaceful years.

It's not the first time Su Xiaoyan has seen the rain in Jiangning, but she hasn't seen it as seriously as she did today, or the mood in front of her is different, so she feels that this rain is comfortable.

To be honest, after so long tossing and turning, and soaking in a hot bath for three hours in earnest, she couldn't get her body out of that tiredness, and now this usual light rain has brought her soul back.

The smoke and rain are cloudy, and people are easy to be lazy, and then the things that come to mind also respond to this state of mind, thinking deeply is also like this light rain, all kinds of indescribable, unclear.

At some unknown hour, the thin clouds in the sky retreated, and the faint sunlight stubbornly penetrated it, skimming over the distant mountains and shooting obliquely from a distance.

Skimming across the river, startled by a sparkling wave. Then it pierced from between the wickers, brushed across the eaves, and the slightly hot orange light haloed on Su Xiaoyan's face, and the small face of the reflection seemed to be a ripe apple, making people want to pounce on it and take a bite.

Su Xiaoyan raised her hand slightly to block it, and the halo was probably shy, and slipped through her fingers into the room.

When she woke up, Su Xiaoyan took a sip, turned around and leaned against the window, no longer thinking about those things.

Time pushed back for a while, the sun was accompanied by a light rain at the same time, there were already a few more children playing on the street, and from time to time adults ran into the rain, probably scolding a few words, and then picked up the children and went back to the house.

Wang Ning knocked on Su Xiaoyan's door, but did not come in. After Hou waited outside the door for Su Xiaoyan to wash up, the two went downstairs for breakfast, and then went upstairs to drink afternoon tea.

In the afternoon, Su Xiaoyan saw that it was raining non-stop, so she sent Xiao Er to help buy an umbrella and came back, and then called Wang Ning, who was sleeping in the room, to go out to talk about business.

Wang Ning didn't want to go out, but because Su Xiaoyan spoke as his "guard", he had no choice but to follow. In fact, he didn't have that little money, maybe he was really a little nostalgic, so he was worried about Su Xiaoyan's safety.

Su Xiaoyan went to visit the He family, a big silk family in Jiangning City, and the cooperation between the two families was usually very pleasant, but Su Xiaoyan came back this time, and probably understood what happened during her absence, and she didn't have much confidence in the previous cooperation between the two families.

After all, the conditions given by the Xue family are more generous, and it is the same for her. But there were probably some luck. Moreover, even if the business fails, it is necessary to welcome and send off from the perspective of the past alone.

Of course, this time she is still a "missing person", and it is Wang Ning who comes forward, and she herself is dressed in men's clothes, and her face is also retouched, unless she is particularly familiar with people, she can't see her identity.

With the light rain, the two hired a carriage from a nearby carriage and horse shop and went to the He family's mansion.

*********

He Kun, as the person in charge of the He family at the moment, has always acted prudently, and if he doesn't sound good, he is too careful, of course such people are good and bad. The good thing is that as long as you make a contract, then basically nothing will happen, but the bad thing is that it is not easy to negotiate a business with such a person.

I heard that when the Su family came to visit, He Kun was discussing business matters with his younger brother He Jun this year, and He Kun's son He Guangting was also there, but there was a lot of unhappiness on his face.

After listening to what the housekeeper said, He Kun said, "Su family? After a pause, he looked at He Jun next to him, and the other party was also puzzled.

"Yes, two young men, both with fresh faces." The butler answered.

"That's weird." He Jun took over the conversation, "The Su family has always been the head of that Miss Su, and recently I heard that she was missing...... Could it be that those people from the Su family came to power so quickly? ”

He Kun thought for a while and said to the housekeeper, "Invite them to the living room, and I'll come over later." After the housekeeper went out, he turned his head to He Jun and said, "Su Yuan is still there, and the possibility of those straw bales being on top is very small...... Unless, Su Xiaoyan is really dead......"

He Jun listened to the eldest brother's words and said in surprise: "What does the eldest brother mean, that rumor is true?" ”

He Kun smiled: "You also said that it was a rumor, so naturally it is not credible." ”

"What about us?"

"Recently, the shopkeeper of the Su family has been very active, maybe it is him this time." He Kun said and left his seat, "Anyway, let's go and see you." ”

As he spoke, he said to He Guangting next to him: "You also go over, it's always good to see him." ”

He Guangting had the heart to refute, but He Kun glared back, but He Jun was gentle, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "This family will be handed over to you sooner or later, and it is still necessary to learn these things." ”

He Guangting has always had a good impression of this second uncle, and although he was impatient at this time, he still followed.

In the living room, the housekeeper of the He family brought someone in, ordered his subordinates to serve tea and left, Wang Ning stayed for a while, drank tea, and the other party was late.

Before anyone arrived, the hearty voice had already come in: "I just have a business to discuss at home, it's late, don't be surprised." ”

As soon as the words fell, the three of them entered the house one after another, and He Kun, who was in the lead, stepped forward with a smile.

Wang Ning also got up politely and greeted him: "Where, where, bothering the head of the He family." ”

After a few pleasantries, the host and guest sat down.

He Kun looked at Wang Ning and the two and asked, "I don't know who the two of you are from the Su family?" ”
