Su Jinyao nodded, knowing that this was natural.

Su Jinyao also knows a little bit about the routine in the officialdom, even if those people are not coming for her, just with the face of the old lady of the Gu family and the ancient prime minister, there must be a lot of people who come to the mansion to pay New Year's greetings.

After dressing up, Mingrui had already brought breakfast.

The Gu family did not clearly stipulate the time for breakfast, and there was no need to get together to eat, so Su Jinyao always asked people to take breakfast and eat it casually in the house.

Su Jinyao had just eaten and was rinsing her mouth with fragrant tea, when Gu Shangqing came.

Gu Shangqing wore a purple robe, and the lower part of the robe was embroidered with red silk threads with many "Fu" characters and bat-shaped patterns. Although the colors are gorgeous, the embroidery is exquisite.

In addition, Gu Shangqing has an elegant atmosphere in his bones, his complexion is as white as jade, and his eyebrows are peaceful like dai, which makes him even more handsome

Yi Xiuya.

Su Jinyao looked over from the mirror, Gu Shangqing also looked at her, and then said with a smile: "Jinyao, originally I thought that only Gu Yuxuan's girl was bold, but I didn't expect you to be better than her." ”

"Then brother, how did you meet Gu Xuebin? Why did you go without sleeping in the middle of the night? Su Jinyao retorted directly.

Just now she was thinking that she didn't find anyone when she went out with Gu Xuebin, although she got drunk later, and she didn't know when Gu Xuebin sent her back, but the time was definitely not early.

And Gu Shangqing hasn't slept at this hour, there must be something wrong.

Therefore, Su Jinyao had the intention of deceiving him, so she asked directly.

Gu Shangqing probably didn't expect that Su Jinyao was cheating, so he was stunned for a moment and said, "Jinyao, aren't you drunk?" ”

"Drunk, but not asleep. Drunk and sober. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she asked again: "You still don't admit it?" ”

"Admit what? Didn't I just go out of town? Is it easy for me to run back and forth at night for such a long distance? Gu Shangqing not only confessed directly, but also complained: "How can you two be so comfortable, just get together casually and you can date." ”

"Brother, the two of us are together, but it's not casual." Su Jinyao suddenly understood where Gu Shangqing went.

Therefore, Su Jinyao took advantage of the victory and said with a smile: "We already have the queen mother and the queen Yizhi to marry, presumably yesterday grandpa and second uncle have also received the emperor's decree for marriage." But what do you have with Chu Kefan? Do you have a holy decree? ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, Gu Shangqing's face suddenly turned blue and red for a while, obviously having unspeakable bitterness and holding back the appearance that he was about to go crazy.

Su Jinyao was even more sure that Gu Shangqing must have gone to Heming Mountain last night and secretly went to find Chu Kefan.

However, it can also be seen from Gu Shangqing's performance that most of them have hit a big nail. Otherwise he wouldn't have been so depressed.

Gu Shangqing was choked by Su Jinyao, and when she saw that she couldn't hold back her laughter, she simply sat down on the desk next to her, completely losing the appearance of a handsome and elegant son.

He even directly threatened: "Jin Yao, when are you going to Heming Mountain?" If you don't help me, I won't give you a good dowry when you get married. ”

"Huh? Don't worry about your own affairs, and threaten me with the big wedding? Su Jinyao smiled with a disdainful look and said, "Okay, big brother, you can do it yourself." In the future, I promise that you will not care about anything with Kefan. When I get married, you can do whatever you like. ”

"Jin Yao, I'm your eldest brother." Gu Shangqing suddenly changed his tone and said, "I just think, since you and Kefan have such a good relationship, shouldn't you go and put a new year early?" ”

"I'll go, but not your business." Of course, Su Jinyao would not let go of the opportunity to bully Gu Shangqing.

Gu Shangqing's face changed, as if he wanted to say something.

But suddenly a man's voice came from outside the door: "Little daughter-in-law, are you inside?" I want to meet you. ”

When Su Jinyao heard this voice, her whole person was a little bad.

A handsome face appeared in front of him, but thinking about this person's unreliable temperament, Su Jinyao didn't want to answer at all.

Helian Tianqi's change

Gu Shangqing was obviously stunned when he heard the voice of the man outside the door. Then he frowned and muttered, "Why is he here?" Who is the little daughter-in-law? ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said she didn't know. Then he got up and walked over to the dresser, fiddling with a few jewelry boxes in front of him.

Su Jinyao usually never touches these things, she picks one and puts it on when she dresses up in the morning, and takes off all the hairpin ring jewelry and throws it inside at night.

But today, Su Jinyao opened the jewelry, picked one by one, and chose slowly, in fact, she didn't want to deal with the person outside at all.

"Little daughter-in-law?" The man outside screamed again, and then came directly to the door, knocked on the door and asked, "Little daughter-in-law, I know you're inside." Come out for a while. ”

"Jinyao, he's calling you?" Gu Shangqing looked at Su Jinyao, then looked outside the door, and asked with a surprised expression: "Why are you in charge of the family with Helian......

"I don't know him." After Su Jinyao said it casually, she felt that something was wrong, and changed her words: "I don't know him, but I know his mother very well." We're good sisters. So Helian Tianqi is my nephew. ”

"Poof" Gu Shangqing was amused by Su Jinyao's words, and at first he tried to hold back his laughter, and then simply laughed a few times with a "haha", then pressed his stomach, bent over and said, "That little overlord is your nephew?" Haha, the wicked have their own wicked grinding, and finally someone has cleaned him up. ”

"What? Little Overlord? Su Jinyao's eyebrows raised, feeling that this title was quite fresh.

But thinking about the first time she saw Helian Tianqi, the grandson of that famous family was indeed very magnificent.

Later, I learned that he was the eldest son of the leading wealthy merchant family in the capital and the descendant of the royal family, so it was not surprising why that guy had a flying and domineering temperament in his bones.

However, it is indeed not easy for such a person to maintain a new heart and develop his true character.

Su Jinyao was thinking about it, when the knocking sound kept coming, Helian Tianqi was completely unwilling, calling "little daughter-in-law" outside the door.

At first, it sounded like fun. But gradually, Su Jinyao heard a little helplessness and loss from Helian Tianqi's voice.

Su Jinyao sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll go take a look." ”

Gu Shangqing didn't smile anymore, he probably thought of himself who also touched the nail, his face was gloomy, and he raised his butt from the table.

Su Jinyao pushed the jewelry in front of her casually and stood up.

None of these things need to be cleaned up by her, so naturally Mingrui and Mingcui will sort them out.

When Su Jinyao got up, the knocks and shouts outside the door stopped.

Su Jinyao's footsteps paused, and she felt that the people outside the door seemed to be waiting for her to walk over and open the door.

Obviously she didn't have any special thoughts, but Su Jinyao suddenly didn't know how to face Helian Tianqi at this time.

Especially Su Jinyao still remembers that she promised Helian Ruo that she would marry Gu Xuebin again in three years. But it's been less than a year now......

Su Jinyao's footsteps hesitated slightly, but there was no movement outside the door. Everything was suddenly quiet, and there was an inexplicable, indescribable feeling in the air.

Su Jinyao unconsciously glanced back at Gu Shangqing, the latter's face was a little solemn, and his Adam's apple moved but he couldn't say a word.

Su Jinyao understood that Gu Shangqing's sincerity to Chu Kefan was Helian

Tianqi's cry just now was triggered.

Su Jinyao no longer hesitated, walked over quickly and opened the door.

Outside the door was Helian Tianqi, but he had lost a lot of weight. But a handsome face is more angular and rigid, and the whole person seems to have grown up all of a sudden.

Looking at Helian Tianqi like this in front of her, Su Jinyao was in a trance, and it seemed that she couldn't connect him with him who was just calling "little daughter-in-law".

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Su Jinyao spoke first. The tone is calm and kind, like treating an old friend.

After a short four words, Su Jinyao realized that the original words of greeting seemed to be getting closer. Perhaps, it won't be too difficult to get along next.

Helian Tianqi's lips were tightly pursed, so he was a little depressed, more mature and restrained.

Perhaps, this is the breath of the superior. After all, Helian Tianqi is now the incumbent Helian in charge.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Su Jinyao asked again, "Then if it's okay...... I'll say 'Happy New Year' to you. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao also hugged her fists, and there was a sincere smile on her face.

Helian Tianqi obviously didn't expect Su Jinyao to have such an attitude, nor did he expect that she would greet herself so calmly.

After being stunned for a moment, he reluctantly made a swallowing movement and said, "Jinyao, thank you." ”

"No thanks. The Chinese New Year was meant to say hello to each other. Su Jinyao continued to smile sincerely and friendly.

In fact, from the bottom of her bones, she hopes to be friends with Helian Tianqi.

Especially thinking that he and Gu Xuebin were originally a pair of cousins, and thinking that he also followed Gu Xuebin to beat the second prince with a stick, I felt that this friend was quite worthy of friendship.

Helian Tianqi was also infected by Su Jinyao's smile after all, perhaps because Su Jinyao's whole person exuded a sense of sincerity, so he also showed a smile.

After smiling, Helian Tianqi shook his head and said, "I'm not thanking you for giving me New Year's greetings. Thank you for holding the shipload of goods that came and went with Helian's family. ”

"The Liu family's cargo ship?" Su Jinyao suddenly came to her senses, looked at Helian Tianqi and said with a straight face: "You mean, the person who hijacked the Liu family's cargo ship has another purpose?" ”

"Yes. In fact, at the same time that you helped the Liu family's cargo ship, several other shipping companies that had business dealings with our Helian family were also harassed by the bandits. It's just that some are not so lucky, the cargo ship was hijacked, and a lot of people died. By the time our Helian family stepped forward to solve this matter, a lot of clues were broken. ”

Speaking of this, Helian Tianqi smiled again, this time he was no longer so reluctant, but recovered some of his original unreliable appearance, and said, "Jin Yao, don't you invite me into the house to talk?" Just standing at the door chatting? ”

Su Jinyao thought about it, but nodded and said, "Please come in." My brother is there, too, I think you know him. ”

"Gu Shangqing?" Helian Tianqi seemed to be a little surprised, but he was not surprised, and said with a smile: "I heard that he got you back." He's really capable. ”

Su Jinyao didn't answer Helian Tianqi's words, in fact, Gu Shangqing didn't take a lot of effort to win Su Jinyao's trust.

But this was a matter between their brother and sister, so Su Jinyao just smiled slightly and invited Helian Tianqi into the house.

Termination of the agreement

Of course, Su Jinyao would not invite Helian Tianqi to go directly to the inner room. Although her boudoir is not large, it is also designed with two rooms, the front and back. So he just let Helian Tianqi to the front hall.

Gu Shangqing didn't sit in the back at this time, but stood in front of the door leading to the inner room, leaning his back on the threshold. And the curtain behind him was still shaking, hitting his back from time to time.

Helian Tianqi naturally saw Gu Shangqing, but he didn't seem to have the intention of greeting. Just looking over, the slight jaw is considered a greeting.

Su Jinyao thought of Gu Shangqing's evaluation of Helian Tianqi just now, and probably guessed what might have happened to these two boys before.

But it's also strange, Gu Shangqing is many years older than Helian Tianqi, why haven't the two of them dealt with each other?

Su Jinyao was thinking about it, and Helian Tianqi spoke: "So, in order to show my gratitude, this time I am here to give the dowry." ”

Trousseau!! Su Jinyao was thinking about something else, but when she suddenly heard this, she felt that Helian Tianqi's turn was a little big, and she was obviously stunned by the stalk.

Helian Tianqi was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Jinyao, and a smile appeared on his face again.

This time, the smile was the same as before, ruffian and bad, and full of unruliness.

Then he changed his usual tone and said slowly: "Little daughter-in-law, if you don't want a dowry, then these things can be used as a dowry." ”

"Ahem." Su Jinyao was choked, coughed twice before coming back to her senses, and asked, "I didn't understand what you said, you came to thank me because I helped the Liu family find the cargo ship this time?" ”

"Yes." Helian Tianqi replied dryly.

"Your relationship with the Liu family is not ordinary?" Su Jinyao was now starting to be curious.

"Not really." After Helian Tianqi finished speaking, he said, "Jin Yao, you don't have to ask one sentence at a time, I'm here to explain this matter to you." ”

It turned out that after Su Jinyao helped the Liu family find the cargo ship back that day, the Liu family was also worried about missing the Helian family's goods. After an inspection, it was found that the ship had not been damaged and the cargo was almost untouched, so a new group of sailors was sent to continue the delivery.

And this incident also alarmed the local government. When the government heard that it was the goods that implicated Helian's family, it was incumbent on them to come forward and send a small official ship to protect it.

Along the way, there were official ships escorting, and it was a day and night journey, so that the Liu family could deliver the goods to Helian's family at the appointed time.

However, after the Liu family's cargo ship arrived at the dock, they learned that they were one of the few cargo ships in this delivery that did not have delay.

And some of the rest of the cargo ships were just like Helian Tianqi said, most of them were hijacked, and some were killed or wounded.

So that time, the ship of the Helian family to go to sea was also affected, and it was almost empty. But even if there is no cargo, it is not possible to go without the ship.

Because the shipping operation of the Helian family is very developed, the ships that go to sea are all to and from the transportation of goods. In other words, when the cargo is unloaded at the destination, the other party also has goods to be loaded and shipped back.

Therefore, even if it is a real empty ship, in order to ensure that the cargo transportation on the opposite side is not affected, as long as the time is up, it will have to depart.

And if it is really an empty boat trip, not to mention the cost of increasing in vain, there is no cargo unloading at the opposite wharf, which will also have a great impact on the reputation of the Helian family

Ringing.

Although the accident was sudden, it was better than having no goods to deliver. Negotiate with the other party, but the number of deliveries is slightly reduced, which is also much better than running empty.

In other words, Su Jinyao's help this time is tantamount to recovering some losses for the Helian family, and it is also maintaining a certain reputation for the Helian family.

Speaking of this, Helian Tianqi's expression was a little helpless, and he said with some regret: "So, my mother asked me to come to you today to give you a thank you gift in person." Also said...... The thing she agreed with you can be counted. ”

The thing that Su Jinyao and Helian Ruo agreed on was nothing more than something about Helian Tianqi's lovelorn mood and making Su Jinyao postpone the marriage.

Now that Helian Ruo offered to take the initiative to not care, and also sent a gift to thank him, Su Jinyao's mood suddenly relaxed.

But looking at Helian Tianqi's expression of necessity, he must have also known that the agreement between Su Jinyao and Helian Ruo was about him.

Originally, he thought that there was still some time, maybe he could take advantage of the three years to fight for Su Jinyao again, but now that Helian Tianqi personally said that he would cancel the agreement, Helian Tianqi felt that his hope was completely shattered.

Su Jinyao actually didn't want Helian Tianqi to be so uncomfortable. It's just that there is really no special relationship between her and Helian Tianqi.

If it is to make friends, of course Su Jinyao is willing. Moreover, he and Gu Xuebin are both royals, and they will be regarded as relatives of their own family in the future.

Su Jinyao smiled as easily as possible and said, "Forget it, this matter is just my effort, because I was also harassed by the water bandits at that time, and I was a little angry." I don't want a gift, thank you for canceling the agreement. As for the other agreements, they won't stop there, right? ”

"Yes. Once my Helian family promises, I will not go back. Even if the agreement is terminated, it is also the termination of the agreement with the other party, and it will not affect any conditions that my Helian family has agreed to before. After Helian Tianqi finished speaking, he took a deep breath, then looked at Su Jinyao for a long time, and suddenly said, "But, Jinyao, I have a request." ”
