Roughly calculated, the two haven't seen each other for nearly ten years.

Tang Baobao's unnatural strangeness to Tang Qiu also became almost reasonable.

"When did you come to Southern Xinjiang?"

After everyone sat down, Tang Qiu looked at Tang Baobao and asked, he had only passed a letter with Father Tang a while ago, and Father Tang did not mention this matter at all in the letter.

"It's only been a long time since I arrived."

After all, Tang Baobao is asking for others, and the one who laughs is called a sweet.

"Dad, how is your health, how is your family?"

As soon as Tang Qiu left home, it was ten years, although he would write letters to Tang's father from time to time, but he still remembered it in the end.

"Well, everything is fine!"

After the two talked a lot as if no one was around, Tang Qiu cut to the chase.

"What's the matter with you coming to look for me?"

The smile on Tang Baobao's face couldn't help but be a little sweeter, "It's not a big deal, I just want to open a jewelry shop here, but I don't know anyone, everything is inconvenient, so I'm embarrassed to trouble brother." ”

"Want to open a jewelry shop?"

Tang Qiu nodded, his sister has been losing weight and opening a store since her engagement was rejected, and her father had already told him, but he didn't expect that she would want to open a jewelry shop in southern Xinjiang.

"Well, there's nothing to do here anyway, so I want to give it a try, and I like those things too."

Tang Qiu originally wanted to persuade the words, but Tang Baobao was blocked by a sentence of "like".

Never mind! Let her be, if you lose, you will lose, and he will earn it back, and she likes it.

"Okay."

Tang Qiu nodded immediately, but his previous hesitation did not escape Tang Baobao's eyes, Tang Baobao didn't have a penny now, if Tang Qiu took money to help, then he could be regarded as a partner, she naturally couldn't just let Tang Qiu hesitate to agree to her request.

Tang Baobao immediately explained, "Brother, after I came to southern Xinjiang, I walked around the street every day, and found that both men and women, young and old, all wore more than five or six jewelry, and the fancy appearance was very different from that of the Central Plains, but it was not difficult to find the common ground, it was nothing more than exaggerated and bold. ”

As soon as the words fell, Tang Baobao supported Liu Qianqian, who was waiting outside the house, into the house, and Liu Qianqian was holding a sample that she had drawn temporarily after she came back today.

Although it has not yet been matched with color, it is just a simple line outline, but it is enough to see the special nature of these jewelry.

Tang Qiu took it and looked at it, and he was very surprised to glance at Tang Baobao, this kind of line sketching method, he had seen it for the first time, but it was clearer than those ink paintings.

Tang Baobao was busy for two hours and drew three manuscripts, and now they were all in Tang Qiu's hands, she waited there quietly, letting Tang Qiu study little by little.

At this time, after letting go of the things in his heart a little, he was not so nervous before he felt a blazing gaze that fell on him, and when he looked over, he found that it was Chu Junlan.

There is only this study room in the courtyard rented by Zheng Fengming, which has directly become Chu Junlan's personal exclusive, and he usually talks about things here.

Of course, the only person who needs to talk to people is Chu Junlan.

But today it was Tang Baobao's turn, Tang Baobao met Chu Junlan's gaze, looked at Chu Junlan's serious expression, and thought that Chu Junlan was disgusted that the two of them were talking here and disturbing her.

couldn't help but shrug her shoulders, saying that she had no choice, and after such a time, the yard was pitch black, and she couldn't go to Tang Baobao's boudoir, so she could only be here.

Chu Junlan shook his head and smiled helplessly, only thinking that Tang Baobao was very cute, and then got up and sat next to Tang Baobao.

He didn't dislike the two of them for disturbing him to do things, Chu Junlan just felt that during this time, he was entangled in thousands of things, so he neglected Tang Baobao and felt a little sorry.

Even Tang Baobao's desire to open a jewelry store he didn't know until now, which also made him feel a little more frustrated.

Tang Baobao glanced at him suspiciously, as if asking, what's wrong with you?

Chu Junlan shook his head again, but silently took Tang Baobao's little hand on his lap, crossed his fingers, and was extremely ambiguous.

And after Tang Qiu finished studying those manuscripts, as soon as he looked up, he saw that this man, who had just met for the first time, actually grabbed his own sister's hand in his hand, and played with it shamelessly, and immediately felt a little annoyed.

"Young Master Chu is still busy with his own business, this little thing is enough for me to accompany the baby."

"Nothing."

Chu Junlan just responded, without the slightest intention of leaving.

Tang Qiu's gaze seemed to be warm, Tang Baobao immediately withdrew his hand from Chu Junlan's hand, and smiled at Tang Qiu embarrassedly, "Brother, these fancy looks are not bad?" ”

Tang Qiu nodded with satisfaction, "These fancy looks are gorgeous, and I haven't seen them before, so there's a lot to be done." ”

A smile suddenly appeared on Tang Baobao's face, and just when he wanted to say something, he heard Tang Qiu say again: "It's such a time, you go to rest first, and tomorrow you come to Fenglailou to talk to me in detail." ”

Then he just shut up, as if he didn't want to say a word.

Tang Baobao could only get up, go back to his room, and go to sleep.

And the two people who stayed in the study did not simply leave.

The atmosphere in the study suddenly tensed, and there was a bit of a touch of urgency.

"Why did you come to Southern Xinjiang?"

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the relationship between southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains has become increasingly anxious, and trade between the two sides has been greatly restricted, and it is strictly forbidden for the people on both sides to flow between each other.

That's why Tang Qiu stayed here for ten years.

"My brother has been poisoned, and our group is here to find an antidote."

"A group of you?"

Tang Qiu's expression suddenly became serious.

There are more Central Plains people in this southern Xinjiang, which is located in this holy village in the political and economic center, if a group of Central Plains people suddenly appear in other places, I don't know how many people will be attracted to watch, and Chu Junlan also brought a group of people?

It's too ostentatious!

"Don't worry too much, there are only five of us on the surface."

Chu Junlan looked at the person in front of him and explained lightly.

"Southern Xinjiang is not peaceful now, although the position of the Holy Lord has been decided, but in the end, the way is not right, all the villages have ghosts, it is better for you to go back as soon as possible."

"Hmm."

Chu Junlan responded, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect the baby." ”

Tang Qiu nodded, didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

After Tang Qiu left, Chu Junlan did not work again, but turned around and went to Tang Baobao's boudoir.
