Shu Qing put down his chopsticks, and he lost the interest in eating: "Why?" ”

Shu Zicheng was speechless, but he couldn't tell Shu Qing his true feelings.

He couldn't tell her, because he was worried that after she came into contact with someone from the capital, she would remember the painful past with Mo Wengu, right? Isn't this tantamount to revealing Shuqing's scars?

"You also said just now, he is a silk businessman, where will he know how to run an inn restaurant?" Shu Zicheng thought about it, so he had to casually recite a reason that sounded a little far-fetched, "Ah Qing, you are simple-minded, you don't know what it means to be sinister, the reason why the person from the capital is close to you must be ill-intentioned!" He may see that you are kind and innocent, so he wants to cheat money and sex, there are countless examples of this, Dad can't see you fall into the mud! ”

Shu Qing frowned: "Dad, he is a good person, you haven't seen him yet, how can you just guess about him like this?" ”

Mo Xian found the talisman for her, and came up with a lot of ideas for her, and even paid off the silver taels when she went to her store to eat on weekdays, and never took advantage of her at all, Shu Zicheng's words made Shu Qingdeng feel very uncomfortable.

Shu Zicheng also knew that his reason was too reluctant, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while.

He took his hands and had to shout: "Anyway, Dad just doesn't allow you to have anything to do with him!" If you don't agree, don't go to the House of the Clouds from tomorrow onwards! ”

After saying that, Shu Zicheng got up and left the table angrily.

"Daddy!" Shu Qing shouted weakly at his departing figure.

Shu Zicheng hurt her very much, and almost never spoke to her in such an arrogant tone, but Shu Qing found that as long as the word Beijing was mentioned recently, Shu Zicheng would lose control of his emotions. Could there be any other reason for this?

Shu Zicheng was a good talker, and he really didn't let her go out on the second day, but just ordered Xue Pei Xuehuan to keep an eye on her at home and not let her take half a step out of the boudoir.

Shu Zicheng also asked Xue Pei and Xue Huan what the merchant who came from the capital was and what he looked like, and Xue Huan and Xue Pei replied that they had never met that person, which inevitably made Shu Zicheng feel more and more uneasy, and under all kinds of struggles, Shu Zicheng decided to personally meet this businessman who Shu Qing was full of praise.

Early in the morning of the second day, Shu Zicheng asked the family to arrange the carriage and went straight to the house in the clouds.

Although it was early in the morning, there were already a lot of diners in the house in the clouds, and the scene was very lively.

When Shu Zicheng stepped into the threshold, Steward Wang was hurriedly looking for Shu Qing's figure everywhere.

"Where's the shopkeeper?" Steward Wang casually called a junior second, frowned and asked, "Haven't you come today?" ”

"The shopkeeper didn't come." The shopkeeper replied with a worried face.

"Strange ......," Steward Wang muttered, "On weekdays, the shopkeeper has already arrived at the store at this time, so why is he so late today?" ”

As he spoke, the steward of the king asked again, "Has the shopkeeper ever ordered someone to give a message?" ”

"Not either." The shopkeeper shook his head.

"How is this a good ......," the king sighed anxiously, "there are still many things that need to be decided by the shopkeeper today, and if she doesn't come, those things will not be able to be carried out." ”

Steward Wang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and another shopkeeper on the side hurriedly ran over: "Steward Wang, steward Wang!" Mo Gongzi had been waiting in the private room for a long time, and he asked when the shopkeeper would arrive. ”

Hearing this, the Wang steward couldn't help but have a headache more and more: "This Mo Gongzi from the capital is a friend of the shopkeeper, and he is regarded as a guest by the shopkeeper, so don't be lazy, hey, let's do it, you are responsible for the affairs in the store, and I will go to meet that Mo Gongzi first." ”

And when the steward had said this, he wanted to go up the stairs.

Shu Zicheng heard the conversation between the Wang Steward and the shopkeeper clearly, Shu Zicheng expected that the Mo Gongzi in the mouth of the Wang Steward was the Beijing businessman who had a close relationship with Shu Qing in the past few days, and seeing that the Wang Steward was about to go upstairs, Shu Zicheng gritted his teeth and called the Wang Steward.

"Steward Wang, please stay."

Steward Wang looked back and recognized Shu Zicheng immediately.

Although he and Shu Zicheng met once, he remembered very well that Shu Zicheng was the shopkeeper's father, Shu Zicheng had come once when Shu Qing had just taken over the Yunzhong Mansion, and he never appeared again, but even though he had only met once, Steward Wang was still impressed by him.

"It turned out to be Master Shu." Steward Wang hurriedly smiled and said, "Master Shu came just in time, and the villain just wanted to ask you, I don't know why the shopkeeper didn't come to the store to sit in the hall today?" ”

When Shu Zicheng heard this, he smiled naturally and said, "The dog girl is not feeling well today, so she is cultivating at home." ”

Steward Wang bowed: "I see, please also ask Master Shu to tell the shopkeeper, let her take care of her body, and all the affairs in the store will be taken care of by the villain." ”

"The old man thanked the king for his concern for the dog girl." Shu Zicheng exchanged a few words with the Wang steward, and blinked narrowly, "This time, the little girl also entrusted the old man with a thing, the little girl said that she has a friend from the capital who will wait for her in the store every day, and negotiate with her, she can't come here in person today, so the little girl specially asked the old man to meet him on his behalf, and by the way, she also expressed the old man's gratitude to him." ”

Steward Wang did not have the slightest doubt about Shu Zicheng's words, and when he heard what he said, he immediately said, "Okay, please come with me." ”

He was worried that he couldn't clean up this mess, and now Shu Zicheng came to bear it for him, and the king was eager to do it.

Steward Wang led Shu Zicheng to the private room on the second floor, knocked on the door cautiously, and said respectfully: "Master Mo, Steward Wang asks to see you." ”

After a while, an elegant voice came from inside the room: "Please come in." ”

Steward Wang did not directly lead Shu Zicheng into the house, but first said hello to Mo Xian before exiting the door and letting Shu Zicheng enter the room.

Shu Zicheng had already been mentally prepared, this person was from the capital, and his surname was Mo, which made him feel very bad, the surname Mo was the emperor's surname in the capital, maybe this person would be his old acquaintance.

Shu Zicheng lifted the placket of his shirt, and strode towards the man.

From afar, Shu Zicheng saw a familiar figure sitting cross-legged in front of the window, the man was sitting with his back to him, the man was wearing a moon-white robe, the robe was embroidered with silver threads with a faint pattern, in the early morning sun, the pattern reflected a shallow luster, highlighting a luxurious temperament.

Shu Zicheng only felt that his eyes were really familiar, and he was thinking about who this person was, and the man turned around.

At this moment, Shu Zicheng finally saw his facial features clearly.

"World ...... The Son? Seeing that this businessman in Beijing was Mo Xian, Shu Zicheng was so surprised that he almost couldn't close his mouth.
