Qin Baichuan didn't say a word after getting into the car, the monkey drove the carriage all the way, and wanted to ask Mr. where he was going, but he also saw that Mr. was in a bad mood and didn't dare to speak rashly. According to the experience of the previous quarrel between the husband and the housewife, the person the gentleman most wanted to see at this time should be Liu Yuanyuan, the monkey drove the car to the Goolan Washe, but found that there was a plaque hanging in front of the stage of Zhongyi Goolan with a rest, and there was no one.

Only then did the monkey suddenly remember that as soon as Wangjiang Tower was about to reopen, Miss Liu might be discussing with Chu Xuan and others how to act in Wangjiang Tower; Second, Anyang Li Mingxiu is in chaos, Heihushan is eyeing the coastal army, and Miss Liu may also send people out in advance to deploy defenses, so as not to burn to Jiangling. Thinking of this, the monkey gave up the plan to wait in the Zhongyi Goulan, and instead turned around and rushed out of Gangneung City to Wangjiang Tower.

The car walked for half an hour, and when he first arrived at the riverside, Qin Baichuan, who had been calm for a long time, pushed the car door and asked the monkey to stop the carriage, he looked at the surrounding scene, jumped out of the car and came to the lake, washed his face vigorously, and spat fiercely.

Through the faint moonlight, looking at his own black reflection in the lake, Qin Baichuan sneered self-deprecatingly. In Anyang for so long, he was constantly thinking about his relationship with Qu Xi and the way out of this marriage, and he was even ready to come back and make amends to Qu Xi, but because a dead ladyboy who was neither male nor female forced him to divorce his wife, this was a result he really did not expect.

"Sir." The monkey took out a towel from the carriage and handed it to Qin Baichuan, and said with a smile: "I took it upon myself to bring my husband to both sides of Jiangling, and if my husband has other places to go, let me know." ”

"Home is gone, where is it different?" Qin Baichuan wiped the water stains off his face and looked around, but saw a brightly lit riverside shop in the distance. Qin Baichuan remembered that it was originally a small ferry, and there were two boatmen who ferried there for a living, but Qin Baichuan had only been walking for more than a month, and there was actually a small shop out of thin air, and he saw people coming and going from a distance, and it seemed that the business was not bad.

"Sir, are you hungry?" The gentleman did not speak or smile today, and the monkey felt unusually depressed, and opened his mouth to break the silence.

"Sort of." Qin Baichuan touched his stomach, he was in a hurry to go home at night, he just ate a few mouthfuls of dry food, in modern time, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and it was strange not to be hungry.

"That shop seems to be new, why don't we go over and grab a bite to eat?" The monkey knew that Qin Baichuan was in a bad mood, and took the initiative to say, "Speaking of which...... After following him for so long, we haven't sat down to have a good drink yet. Monkey Courage, how about inviting Mr.? ”

"I'm fine." Knowing that the monkey was worried about himself, Qin Baichuan shook his head and said with a reluctant smile: "There are many people there now, let's wait a while." ”

The monkey didn't say much, and accompanied Qin Baichuan to blow the river breeze for half an hour, Qin Baichuan got up and returned to the carriage, and the monkey urged the carriage and walked towards the riverside shop without hurrying. After getting close to the small shop near the river and seeing the name and signboard clearly, Qin Baichuan was stunned.

Looking for Qin Ji, there are eight meats and buns, and fifteen pieces of mutton steamed buns.

"Sir, what's the meat bun?" The monkey had obviously never seen this new term, and was puzzled.

"It's a special snack in the north." Qin Baichuan suddenly smiled: "If I guess correctly, this shop is likely to be opened by Father Xu or Xiu'er." ”

"How so?" The monkey asked rhetorically.

"Because...... I have lived in the Xu family for a long time, and I told Xiu'er about the practice of meat and mutton steamed buns. Qin Baichuan shook his head, when he was studying in college, Qin Baichuan was thinking about doing a small business to relieve the economic pressure, so he pulled a cart with a classmate from Shaanxi to make snacks, and the name was Xun Qin Ji. He once told Xu Xiu about his past, I'm afraid that Xiao Nizi has always kept it in his heart, right?

Thinking of Xu Xiu, Qin Baichuan inexplicably felt a burst of heart congestion, he didn't know that Xiao Nizi didn't know his feelings, but since Wangjianglou met Chu Xuan, Qin Baichuan had been busy for several days, and every time he saw Xu Xiu, he couldn't say a few words, and he didn't know how Xiao Nizi came over during this time.

Xu Xiu's voice and smile appeared in front of him, Qin Baichuan couldn't hold it back, got out of the car and walked towards Xun Qin Ji. The guest was greeted at the door by a young man, and when he saw that there were guests again, the young man was articulate and smiling: "Good evening, two guest officers!" Let's Xun Qin Ji has just opened, and you can enjoy a 20% discount if you spend more than 30 yuan, please do it for two! ”

As soon as this guy spoke, Qin Baichuan laughed loudly, full discount promotion, isn't it his means?

Qin Baichuan's smile attracted the attention of the young man, just now they were in the dark The young man didn't see the appearance of the person who came clearly, and after staring at Qin Baichuan for a while, the young man let out an exclamation: "Ouch my God, Qin Baichuan, Brother Qin!" ”

"Well, you know me?" The young man's face was tight, and Qin Baichuan didn't dare to admit it.

"Who doesn't know Brother Qin?" The young man ran over and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Brother Qin, my name is Zhang Wanli, and I used to listen to white books outside Wangjiang Tower with your apprentice Xiaoyi!" ”

"Do you know Little One?" Qin Baichuan asked with a smile, that Xiao Yi was the apprentice he asked Father Xu to find and teach storytelling, because he was the oldest and ranked the eldest.

"yes!" Zhang Wanli shook his head and sighed: "Hey, at that time, I heard that Mr. Qin was recruiting apprentices, so I planned to sign up with Xiaoyi, but my father said that Brother Qin gave him food and clothing, and taught him to pay back the silver, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" Maybe Brother Qin had any plans to harm people and deliberately gave these many benefits, so he said that he wouldn't let me apprentice with Xiao Yi. ”

"You can't have the heart to hurt people, you can't have the heart to defend people, your father is right." Qin Baichuan didn't care, he just wanted to make some money when he formed this storytelling club, and then he took the big boat of Splendid Villa, and with a better platform to play, Qin Baichuan didn't attach so much importance to this storytelling club.

"That's right!" Zhang Wanli said hatefully: "Big brother, look, it's only been a few months? Xiao Yi has now made a lot of fame on both sides of Jiangling with a "Heaven and Dragon Slayer"! According to the contract they signed, Xiao Yi still has a dozen taels of silver left every month, a dozen taels! Xiaoyi's family has already changed the ploughing cows, and he told me that if he works hard, he will be able to change to a big house by this time next year! ”

Zhang Wanli's deep envy was followed by a deep loss: "And me? Nothing a few months ago, still nothing a few months later! My dad is also repentant! No, Sister Xu's sister, this is looking for Qin Ji to recruit workers, so I'll hurry over! ”

Zhang Wanli looked up at Qin Baichuan with expectation in his eyes: "I don't want how much silver the sister of the Xu family can give me, I just think about working hard, behaving well, and one day I can see Brother Qin, so that I can have a future for myself!" Hey, I can't imagine that God really opened his eyes! ”

"Huh." The young man's intentions were obvious, Qin Baichuan smiled and didn't speak, but the monkey said: "You kid, your ability to pat on the back is really good." ”

"Hey, hey." Zhang Wanli just smirked.

"You don't have to envy Xiaoyi, everyone has their own life." Zhang Wanli is witty and flexible, and knows when to say something, Qin Baichuan has a good first impression of the young man: "Since this shop was opened by Xiu'er in my name, then I can't help her with advice." As long as you help Xiu'er share your worries in a down-to-earth manner, Xunqin Ji will develop and grow in the future, and the benefits will be indispensable to yours. ”

"Thank you, Brother Qin, look at the performance!" Qin Baichuan was able to say this beyond Zhang Wanli's expectations, the young man's face was flushed with excitement, and he beckoned Qin Baichuan to go inside: "Brother Qin, Sister Xiu'er is busy in the back kitchen, do you want me to call her?" ”

"There's no hurry." Qin Baichuan said with a smile: "You instructed the kitchen to bring me a few white Ji buns, two bowls of mutton soup, and by the way, bring two jars of wine, and then talk about it after eating." ”

"Understood!" Zhang Wanli agreed with a smile and hurriedly ran to the back kitchen.

Qin Baichuan and the monkey entered the shop, and a few men in thin clothes in the store were drinking lively, but no one noticed that he walked in, Qin Baichuan didn't want to be recognized by others anymore, so he found a secluded corner with the monkey, and just sat down, Qin Baichuan's eyes shrank slightly.

At the table opposite him sat a woman, who seemed to be eighteen or nineteen, Xu because it was Chinese New Year's Eve, she was wearing a big red cotton jacket, pink peach cheeks, willow eyebrows and starry eyes, bowing her head and drinking a bowl of hot mutton soup, with a little sweat on the tip of her nose. Although this woman is not very old, her soft hair is full of love threads, and she has already become a relative.

"Sir......" The monkey smiled bitterly when he saw the woman, it seemed that his intention to get drunk with the gentleman was in vain. Just because ...... That woman is not an outsider, it is Qin Baichuan's concubine, the deputy director of the marketing department of Splendid Villa, Meng Xiaoling.

Meng Xiaoling sat there alone, without distractions, without squinting, and had a virtuous temperament.

"Miss, do you want to come over and have dinner together?" Qin Baichuan couldn't figure out why Meng Xiaoling was here, so he simply lowered his voice and spoke lightly.

Obviously, Meng Xiaoling's brows were furrowed, and then as if he hadn't heard this, he continued to bow his head and take a sip of soup. Meng Xiaoling had encountered this kind of thing before, and she knew that as long as she opened her mouth, she would definitely provoke the entanglement of those disciples...... It's just that why does the voice of the disciple on the other side make her feel familiar?

"Miss Meng, my husband left Jiangling for more than a month, can't you even hear his voice?" Seeing that Meng Xiaoling didn't react, the monkey couldn't help but remind.

"Let's go!"

The spoon in his hand fell into the soup bowl, Meng Xiaoling raised his head in a daze, and saw at a glance that in the dim place of the opposite light, a young scholar dressed in white and wearing a cyan scarf was looking at him with a wicked smile on his face, Meng Xiaoling only felt that a heart almost jumped out of his throat! Isn't that person the husband he has been thinking about for a long time?
