"The young master didn't mean to punish you, he was just worried about your safety." Hu Xi'er continued to comfort Shi Qingran.

Shi Qingran thought that he was going to take the women's ring at night, so he wanted to cry without tears. Today, she originally wanted to pretend to sleep early, and then go to the backyard to wait for the little brother.

If the little brother is Shi Wuyue, or they know each other, then the little brother ...... Maybe it's coming tonight.

Presumably, if she copied it faster, she should be able to finish it before the end of the day, and then go to the backyard, right?

"Brother!" Thinking like this, Shi Qingran got up from the ground and chased Shi Xuan into the flower hall.

Today's dinner party has fish and meat, but it looks like it's been hot many times.

Shi Xuan sat in his seat and sandwiched a piece of elbow meat for Shi Qingran without saying a word. Shi Qingran picked it up and chewed it slowly, while thinking about it, if he had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, would he be exempted from the female ring again.

Although the hope is very slim, she is willing to give it a try in order to wait for the little brother.

"Brother." When Shi Qingran thought of this, he immediately put on a flattering smile: "Where have you been today?" ”

"This year's cotton and linen business is good, and I plan to do it, so I went to talk to the cotton and linen merchant Jia about something." The Shi family is mainly engaged in silk, porcelain, and tea business in Qishan, but if the market for other things is good, Shi Xuan will also find a way to intervene.

The so-called no businessman is not treacherous, Shi Xuan is probably the most treacherous businessman in Qishan, right? Shi Xuantian looked handsome and shrewd, his eyes narrowed, and the whole person was like a cunning fox.

However, Shi Qingran just heard Shi Xuan say that he met with a cotton and linen merchant today? Qishan is such a big place, Shi Qingran has also heard a little, the largest cotton and linen merchant in Qishan is the Nalan family.

Nalan Chun of the Nalan family can be said to be the pillar of the family.

"You went to Nalan's house to discuss business?" Shi Qingran asked again.

"Hmm." Shi Xuan said: "Nalan Chun is also one of the best shrewd businessmen, and after talking with him for a day, he was tired and panicked. Shi Xuan raised his eyes and looked at Shi Qingran again, but Shi Qingran looked dazed.

"What are you thinking?" Shi Xuan asked.

"I'm thinking." Shi Qingran poked his chin with the other end of his chopsticks: "Nalan Chun's family, are there any brothers?" …… Or...... Sisters?! ”

"Eat!" Seeing this, Shi Xuan knocked on Shi Qingran's bowl: "Whether you eat or not, I don't know what Shi Wuyue likes about you?" ”

"Who said he liked me anymore?!" Shi Qingran listened and replied a little embarrassed. Right now, she was thinking about Nalan Chun and the little senior brother, and she didn't have the heart to eat dinner: "I'm full, I'm going to copy the female ring, you eat slowly." ”

After Shi Qingran finished speaking, without waiting for Shi Xuan to answer, he got up and ran out of the flower hall in three or two steps.

"Hey......" Shi Xuan watched Shi Qingran disappear out of his sight, thinking that he shouldn't have said those words just now.

Shi Qingran was very arrogant on the surface, but he was fine in his heart. Now that he said this, he would be even more alienated from Shi Wuyue in the future.

"Young master, don't worry." Hu Xi'er comforted Shi Xuan again: "Presumably, Miss went to the street to eat today, she won't be hungry so soon, just wait for the slave maid to send her some food." ”

"I'm almost seventeen, and I'm still so virtuous, I don't look like everyone is beautiful at all!" Shi Xuan complained hatefully. However, Shi Xuan said that he did not blame Shi Qingran in his heart.

He just felt that it was too risky for Shi Qingran to clash with Yu Python's men today.

"Young master, actually, Miss is like this, you like it very much, right? It's just that Miss is too naughty, and today she provoked the people under Yu Python, and you are worried about her. ”

Shi Xuan sat at the dinner table and let Hu Xi serve him a bowl of stomach-warming pigeon soup: "Young master, don't worry, now that Lord Shi is in the county office, he must think about everything for the sake of Miss."

Shi Xuan took a sip of the soup and said lightly: "The pigeon soup is good." ”

If Shi Xuan himself saw such an injustice that Shi Qingran encountered today, he would naturally be willing to step forward and take care of it. However, he didn't dare to let Shi Qingran take the slightest risk.

The corners of Hu Xi's eyes drooped: "The young master is socializing outside all the year round, you should pay attention to your body, drink less alcohol, and drink more soup." ”

"Hmm." Shi Xuan paused, and said: "I also hope that she is good, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of being ruthless, you are afraid of not dying, Yu Python is a ruffian hooligan who does not want to die, everyone in Qishan respects and stays away, if it is me, it will naturally be ruthless to him, but she is a girl after all, if it is ......"

"Young master." Hu Xi'er smiled faintly at Shi Xuan: "Miss is now protected by Lord Shi, so it must be no big deal." ”

Shi Xuan nodded helplessly, and took another sip of soup: "I hope she can open up sooner." ”

Shi Qingran copied the women's ring, and unconsciously, his thoughts were too empty: My brother said just now that he was talking about business with Nalan Chun today? So today, if it wasn't Nalan Chun that she saw, who would it be?

Moreover, there is no flaw in Shi Wuyue's answer today, is he really not a junior brother? However, if he wasn't the little brother, then how could he act out the story of her and the little brother so vividly on that day?

Shi Qingran was upset, and the words he wrote were as ugly as crabs. The ink grinder on the side really couldn't stand it, so he reminded: "Miss, your writing is crooked again!" ”

"Oh!" When Shi Qingran saw it, he came back to his senses and copied the female ring.

It's sad!

Shi Qingran was copying it, and unconsciously it was too empty. In the back, I don't even bother to care. Shi Qingran copied it for a while, then came back to his senses and looked at the page he had copied twice: "Get it!" ”

"I've reminded me many times." Lang'er no longer cares about Shi Qingran, and bows his head very confidently and continues to grind the ink.

This mess is now even more arrogant! Shi Qingran glanced at Lang'er hatefully, thinking that when she caught her wrongdoing, she would definitely be punished well!

"Bang bang bang!"

At this moment, Shi Qingran's door rang: "Miss, the young master saw that you didn't eat much for dinner, so let the slave maid bring you some food, you eat some first, and then copy the female ring." ”

Shi Qingran felt sad when he watched himself copy a page of female rings twice. So he didn't raise his head, and replied very bitterly: "My brother said, if you don't finish copying the female ring, you can't sleep tonight." ”

As he spoke, Shi Qingran yawned: "I have to copy it quickly." ”

"Miss, it's only unitary time now, and there are still several hours before going to sleep, so you should be able to finish copying it." Hu Xier kindly reminded. Shi Qingran didn't raise his head.

"Actually, the young master is just worried about the safety of the young lady today, and he is a little afraid when he thinks that the young lady is in danger alone, so he punished you, and he didn't really want to punish you."

Shi Qingran listened, raised his head and smiled at Hu Xi'er: "I know." But my brother is whatever he says, and if I don't finish copying the female ring today, I'm afraid he won't let me sleep. ”

"Why don't I copy it for Miss?" Hu Xi'er proposed.
