Chapter Forty-Eight: Who Doesn't Love Silver
Xie Fu, by the lake
Xie Jinzheng was bored and scattered a handful of fish food into the pool, and countless red carp scrambled to snatch it, which was very beautiful.
Xie Jin seemed to be feeding the fish leisurely, but his mind was constantly thinking about the secret guard who committed suicide by falling into the water.
Qin Yi and the Xie family both dispatched a lot of forces to investigate, but there was no more gain.
Just as Xie Jin was thinking about how to lure the snake out of the hole again, a voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Sister Jin." Shen Huaiyue spoke softly.
"Shen Gongzi."
Shen Huaiyue's appearance made Xie Jin's face immediately cold, and the scenery of Miaoman by the lake became boring, and he was about to leave.
"I didn't expect that Sister Jin also liked the beautiful scenery by the lake like me. It's better to meet by chance, it's better to enjoy it together. Shen Huaiyue didn't seem to be aware of the change in Xie Jin's mood at all, and silently blocked the way to leave.
"I've finished appreciating it, so it's better for Shen Gongzi to enjoy it alone." Xie Jin said coldly.
"It's quiet here, but you and I both have attendants, and there won't be any more gossip. Why does Sister Jin bother to reject people thousands of miles away? Shen Huaiyue asked.
"Shen Gongzi was too worried, I made an appointment with her to have a tea and say goodbye."
Xie Jin looked at Shen Huaiyue, who was blocking his way, and frowned slightly.
Since she was reborn, her attitude towards Shen Huaiyue has always been cold. Shen Huaiyue is also a well-informed person, and he felt that he was not welcome, so he chose to maintain a superficial politeness, and only brushed his existence at the appropriate time to keep his good impression in Xie Jin's heart not diminished.
For some reason, after the birthday banquet, Shen Huaiyue seemed to have changed as a person.
Everywhere in the house, you can encounter them everywhere.
It wasn't until Xie Jinfang clearly threw up his sleeves and left.
Shen Huaiyue looked at Xie Jin's departing back, thinking secretly, not knowing how to make her feel good about herself again.
Since saving the wrong person in the water at the birthday banquet, Xu Ping'er has become more and more entangled with Shen Huai.
If there is reverence in Xu Ping'er's eyes, how could Shen Huaiyue, who grew up in the pile of women since he was a child, not know.
It's just that this down-and-out distant cousin, although she has a gentle temperament, her appearance and life experience can't meet Shen Huaiyue's requirements.
In the past, no one knew about going back and forth in private, so Shen Huaiyue was naturally happy to give him a hug.
At most, after finding a famous wife, it is not impossible to marry her as a concubine. Shen Huaiyue naturally wouldn't let Xu Ping'er know about these thoughts.
But now, Shen Huaiyue has rescued Xu Ping'er who fell into the water in public, this is a real skin kiss.
At that time, when I saw that the person in my arms was not Xie Jin, it was as if I had saved a hot potato. If it weren't for so many pairs of eyes staring, Shen Huaiyue would have been eager to throw Xu Ping'er back into the water.
Now Shen Huaiyue is Xu Ping'er's only choice.
Shen Huaiyue, who was eager to revive the Shen family, naturally hoped to marry a high-ranking woman.
He had already made a deal with Wang Hanyue in secret, as long as he could intervene between Xie Jin and Qin Yi, Wang Hanyue would promote an excellent family affair for himself.
And in the days of Xie Mansion, Shen Huaiyue had already had a different mind about Xie Jin.
Although Xie Jin's status is precious and she is the future princess, even if Shen Huaiyue makes the beautiful man plan to separate the relationship between the two successful, he will not take the risk of being an enemy of the royal family to marry Xie Jin back.
But the woman he can't get, Qin Yi can't think of it.
Shen Huaiyue would not admit that when he saw Xie Jin's well-behaved and shy in front of Qin Yi, he went crazy with jealousy.
The Xie family has a solid background, and Xie Jin can continue to live a golden and noble life even if he can't get married.
A few years later, time passed, and she was still so beautiful, and it was excellent to put her in the backyard.
After all, an older woman is worthless.

Treasure Pavilion
Just when Shen Huaiyue was dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival, Xie Jin had already ordered a table full of delicacies waiting for Zhao Qianqian's arrival.
"I'm sorry, Miss Xie, I'm late."
Zhao Qianqian said a little breathlessly, obviously speeding up her pace, but her eyes were bright and shining, and she was very much looking forward to meeting Xie Jin.
"It's okay, I arrived early." Xie Jin replied with a smile, and Shen Huaiyue was so disturbed that Xie Jin left the house half an hour early.
"Here, let's have a cup of tea first." Xie Jin made tea for Zhao Qianqian.
Zhao Qianqian took it respectfully, but did not taste the tea immediately, but carefully took out a purse from her arms and put it in front of Xie Jin's eyes, her eyes full of pride.
"Here's fifteen hundred taels."
Xie Jin looked at Zhao Qianqian, who was proud, and his heart was happy.
"In just one month, Miss Zhao has multiplied the silver tenfold, and I really didn't see the wrong person."
"You don't have to order a silver ticket in your purse?" Zhao Qianqian asked.
"I believe in you!" Xie Jin looked at Zhao Qianqian's eyes and said.
Zhao Qianqian only felt a warm current surging in her heart, and opened her mouth with a smile.
"This time, I was able to earn enough money so quickly to meet expectations, and it is also a credit to you, Miss Xie. If you hadn't told me that the fabric for the tailoring at the birthday banquet of the county lord of Chengyang was a streamer hundred ripples, I would not have used all the silver to make this fabric in advance. The favor of the royal family and nobles has always been pursued by businessmen and wealthy families. The choice of the county lord of Chengyang has increased the price of the streamer Bailian brocade in the capital several times, and it is even more difficult to find, and I naturally made a lot of money. ”
"Qianqian, you don't have to be too humble, on the birthday of King Runan, all the women will focus on their dress, hoping that they can be beautiful. Only you will think about how you can earn more silver taels at such a time. Xie Jin did not skimp on his praise.
Zhao Qianqian looked at Xie Jin's sincerity, and her eyes were moved: "You call me...... Qianqian......"
"Isn't it abrupt?" Xie Jin asked nervously?
Zhao Qianqian shook her head: "Since my mother left, few people have called me by name. It's my grandmother, my father, my mother-in-law, and I don't call me a second girl. In their hearts, I am just the dispensable second lady of the Zhao Mansion. ”
Just when Xie Jin wanted to comfort Zhao Qianqian, she had already walked out of her low mood, looked at Xie Jin and said, "I'm very happy that you can call me like that." ”
"If there is no one in private, you can call me Jin'er. Sister Fu, that's what she calls me. Xie Jin said.
Zhao Qianqian nodded: "But Jin'er, this is not my happiest moment these days." ”
"And what was your happiest moment?"
"It was I who sold the hoarded streamer Bailian Jin to a semicolon of the Qian family at a high price, watching them settle the silver taels, and watching the original one hundred and fifty taels really become one thousand five hundred taels. I was really happy at that moment. At that moment, I realized that what kind of husband and child, everyone is beautiful, is not what I desire the most. I love the feeling of earning more money with white money. ”
Zhao Qianqian said, discovering her gaffe, Xie Jin kept staring: "Jin'er, you won't dislike me for being vulgar, right......?"
Zhao Qianqian blushed a little and bowed her head.
Xie Jin smiled and held Zhao Qianqian's hand and said, "How come, I like ...... too"
The two young girls looked at each other like this, smiling like flowers.
