Cen Xijun stood aside and looked at Yu Jin's appearance coldly, and only felt disgusted, obviously he still had that face, obviously still crying, but he just couldn't mention the slightest pity.

"Mrs. Hu Shao has something to say over there."

In order to avoid Yu Jin's outrageous behavior, Cen Xijun didn't sit down, and said coldly at a distance of five or six steps from Yu Jin, with a tough attitude of sending off guests after speaking.

"Brother Xiyu...... You've been doing well lately......"

Yu Jin thought of Hu Pei's command, gritted his teeth and couldn't care about Cen Ximian's cold face, but cried even more, with tears in his eyes, Ying Ying looked at the man standing opposite him, trying to arouse his pity.

"Mrs. Hu, you still call me Master Cen, after all, you are already married, and if you call it the old name, I am afraid that you will be criticized if it is passed on."

Cen Xijun listened to Yu Jin's 'Brother Ximi' and only felt extremely harsh, and this sentence seemed to remind him how he was abandoned by Yu Jin without hesitation with affection.

How much Cen Xijun loved Yu Jin in the past, so when Yu Jin looked at him with fear and disgust above Cen Father's mourning hall, how much he hated this woman.

Cen Xijun may have had a period of unwillingness and unwillingness, but later with half a branch, Cen Xijun also lost those thoughts, and now he is just a stranger to Yu Jin.

You don't have to be polite to strangers, Yu Jin's behavior has long been out of line, and Cen Ximian has no reason to tolerate her.

“…… Cen Gongzi ......"

Yu Jin didn't seem to be able to accept such a blow, his body shook and took two steps back, his face was full of disbelief, and the tears fell down as if the thread was broken, so miserable.

"If Mrs. Hu Shao is fine, then Cen will not accompany her."

Cen Ximian had no intention of paying attention to Yu Jin's reaction, but he just saw that it was almost noon and he had to go home early to accompany the little girl to eat.

"Cen Xixuan! You're so ruthless! ”

Yu Jinyuan had a grudge against Cen Xi, and now he had a good temperament to coax him when he hit a wall one after another, and immediately pointed at his nose and scolded. Cen Xijun didn't get angry because of these two sentences, but he was a little surprised when he looked at Yu Jin's gaffe, after all, Yu Jin didn't have such a resentful look in the past.

"Mrs. Hu, if this is the big thing about Cen Jiabuzhuang mentioned in your letter, then you still don't have to say it anymore, go slowly, don't send it!"

The reason why Cen Xijun met with Yu Jin here was not because he still had any thoughts about Yu Jin, but that Yu Jin said in his letter that there was a major matter to discuss about the survival of Cen Jiabu Village. If there are only a few sentences Cen Xijun will not go to the appointment, the key is that the letter also mentioned that Cen Jia Bu Zhuang has recently purchased silk and cotton from the neighboring city, which is indeed a key step in the revival of Cen Jia Bu Zhuang, Cen Xi Hu can not let it make a mistake, so he came to the appointment.

"Do you know you're scared now? Do you know how much I was tortured by Hu Pei? Do you know how scared I am? ……”

Yu Jin looked at Cen Xijun mentioning this matter, and then thought of what he wrote in the letter, and felt a little relieved for a while. After all, Cen Xijun is now under her control, so she doesn't have to be so flustered.

Cen Ximian saw that Yu Jin sat down unhurriedly, and he didn't mean to talk about it, knowing that she was forcing him to soften, Cen Ximian could see it, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile, and Yu Jin said lightly:

"Mrs. Hu Shao is holding the purchase of Buzhuang in her hand, and she is still looking for me like this, I'm afraid she has a request for me!"

Cen Jiabu Zhuang because of the death of Master Cen, business plummeted, some old customers are going to talk about business in the name of Master Cen, for Cen Xijun such a hairy boy is not very optimistic, business is the benefit of the first, so this is obviously a loss-making business and no one is willing to do it.

A large part of the cloth in the Cen family cloth village is produced in their own dyeing workshop, but now some masters look down on Cen Xijun, a scholar who is not good at business, so they go to other cloth villages to find another way. Now that there is no one in the dyeing workshop, there is naturally no new cloth to buy in the cloth village, and the existing ones are only the remaining styles of the previous year, and there is no longer a selling head.

Cen Xijun has been thinking about it for several months, and finally decided to weave and dye new cloth from his own dyeing workshop, relying on new ideas to receive some large quantities of orders. There are a lot of cloth villages in Shanghai, most of them are rich and noble families and cloth business shipped to other places, after all, ordinary people can't afford to wear such exquisite materials, and the clothes are made by themselves, and the cloth houses can't make their money. Cen Jiabu Zhuang is no exception, when Cen Father was alive, he was also a list of cloth dealers who came to Shanghai from other places, in addition to providing cloth to officials and merchants in Shanghai.

There are only so many kinds of fabrics, so the materials sold by the cloth villages in Shanghai are almost the same, and the reason why Cen Jia Cloth Village can be made into the leading cloth village in Shanghai is because of the unique and novel dyeing method and ingenious patterns, every time there is a new cloth for sale, it will inevitably be sold out.

It was precisely because Cen Xijun understood this trick that he decided to weave and dye the new cloth. And this cotton silk is prepared for weaving new cloth. At the moment, if Yu Jin is doing bad things on this, it will be really tricky.

"You! …… Hehe...... If today's Cen Family Cloth Village can't receive this batch of cotton silk, I'm afraid it will be closed! I don't mean to embarrass you, after all, you're also my 'brother to the west', aren't you? ”

Hu Pei originally wanted Yu Jin to use Cen Ximian's love to torture him, but he knew that Cen Ximian had an extra half-branch around him, and saw that this road would not work, but Hu Pei somehow knew about Cen Ximi's purchase of silk cotton, so he ordered Yu Jin to blackmail Cen Ximian with this matter, just to bring down Cen Ximian and Cen Jiabuzhuang.

After all, there is nothing more painful than a former lover becoming today's enemy, but Hu Pei did not talk to Yu Jin in detail, but only explained that she replaced Banzhi and made Cen Xi fall in love with her again.

Hu Pei's bad taste tortured Yu Jin miserably, and turned a good lady into a poisonous woman.

"What exactly do you want?"

When Cen Xijun heard this, the hand behind his back couldn't help but clench into a fist, and his brows furrowed even tighter. Sharp eyes looked at Yu Jin. He knew that there was someone behind Yu Jin's instructions, and that person also had the ability to stop him from collecting raw materials, but now he couldn't figure out their purpose.

"I heard you've got an extra maid by your side...... Called a half-branch? ”

Yu Jin looked at Cen Ximian's expression, and there was some fear in his heart, but he still forced himself to speak.

"What do you have to do with it!"

Hearing Yu Jin mention Banzhi, Cen Xi's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but scold loudly.

"Looks like you care about her a lot? It's just a maid, and Son Cen's vision is getting worse and worse......"

Yu Jin looked at Cen Xijun's nervous appearance, feeling a little awkward in his heart, and there was some jealousy in and out of his words. In the past, when Cen Xijun liked himself, he didn't see him like this, and he cared so much.

"I warn you, don't have any crooked thoughts about the branches! Otherwise......"

"Cen Xixuan! I'm Yu Jin! I'm Yu Chen's sister! If you dare to touch me, my brother won't let you go! ”

Cen Xijun walked to Yu Jin's side in a few steps, and the coercion that came made Yu Jin cold, hearing Cen Ximi's warning, Yu Jin could no longer maintain his composure, and could only cry and shout under the guise of Yu Chen.

Cen Xijun hadn't heard the word Yu Chen for too long, and he only felt a shock in his heart when he was suddenly mentioned, but although Cen Xijun cared about Yu Chen, he would no longer show traces in front of Yu Jin, after all, once she was due to it, she would hurt half of the branch.

"If Yu Chen knew that his sister had become such a vicious villain, I am afraid he would not recognize you again."

Cen Xijun's tone was light, but the words he said hit Yu Jin's sore spot.

“…… You! Let me tell you, there are only two ways in front of you now, either give up that maid, or watch the Cen family Buzhuang fall...... Of course, if you can make that little girl understand that the person you love is me, I can let her go. ”

Yu Jin was very angry, and he no longer had the patience to mediate with Cen Xi, so he directly stated his meaning.

"Hu Pei asked you to do it."

When Cen Xijun heard Yu Jin say this, he vaguely guessed who the person behind her was. This was said with certainty, and when he saw Yu Jin's panicked appearance when he heard the word 'Hu Pei', he was even more sure of his guess.

Speaking of Hu Pei, Cen Xijun has never crossed paths with him, but he also faintly feels Hu Pei's malice towards him. In the past, Cen Xijun didn't care about Hu Pei's vague jealousy and targeting, but it was only later that Hu Pei suddenly married Yu Jin, and he paid a little attention.

Although Cen Xi's temperament is cold, he will not make enemies with others. Among the few people who are not used to him, Hu Pei is an outlier. According to common sense, if a person holds a grudge against another person, he must take revenge, and the way to retaliate is either to shady people or to seize wealth, no matter what means are used, the ultimate goal is always to bypass these two.

But that's not the case with Hu Pei. Cen Xijun could clearly feel that Hu Pei had no murderous intent towards him, nor did he covet the Cen family's property, but Hu Pei preferred to see his painful appearance. Rather than straightforward death and loss, Hu Pei prefers to see his desperate struggle to survive.

That's the case right now. He can't lose half of the branch, but Cen Jiabuzhuang is his father's hard work, and he can't watch it fall, which is a dead end for Cen Ximian. No matter which one he abandons, it is a heart-wrenching move. And Hu Pei is the only one who has spent so much trouble just to see himself end up like this.

"I know you're struggling, so didn't I give you another way? You should know that if you choose to abandon that maid, Hu Pei will definitely shasi her, but if you do what I say, she may still have a way to live, after all, a woman you don't love, Hu Pei has no interest. ”

Yu Jin was not afraid of Cen Xi's ruthless appearance, stared at by those red eyes, and there was a strange joy in her heart. Look, what if this man doesn't love her, now it's not like she wants to be toyed with by her!

Cen Xijun didn't speak, but he knew in his heart that what Yu Jin said was the truth.

Cen House

"Ah, you're back!"

It was already dark, and Banzhi waited in Cen Xi's room all afternoon without seeing him return. Banzhi looked at the cold food on the table and was about to take it down to warm it up, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Cen Xijun open the curtain and come in.

"Well, I'm back."

Banzhi hurriedly got up to meet him, but saw that Cen Xixuan did not have the slightest smile on his face, and he was a little absent-minded in his words.

"Ah, but what happened to Buzhuang?"

Banzhi knew that Cen Xijun had gone to Buzhuang today, and when he saw his appearance, he guessed whether there was something wrong with Buzhuang.

"It's okay, don't think about it. Heat up the meal, I'm hungry. ”

Cen Xijun didn't want to answer Banzhi's question, so he just sat down at the table.

"Okay, I'll go now, there is my newly made red bean sweet cake on the table, you can pad your stomach first."

Seeing that Cen Xijun looked extremely hungry, Banzhi was also distressed, and hurriedly collected the food on the table to heat it.

Cen Xi looked at Banzhi's hurried back, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and he looked at himself for a long time before he narrowed his eyes, and only sat in a daze and did not touch the plate of red bean sweet cake on the table.

"Take a sip of soup, I stewed this soup all afternoon, and it tastes good."

I didn't eat much for half a meal, I was taking care of Cen Xi, and I was very considerate of serving vegetables and soup for a while.

"That's it! You eat it yourself, don't worry about me. ”

Banzhi was about to put the small bowl of soup in Cen Xi's hand, but he was startled by his sudden reprimand, and her hand trembled, and the hot soup splashed on her wrist.

"Hiss......"

Half of the branch was burned and gasped. Cen Xi's eyes shrank, and his left hand was raised to inspect the wound of the half branch, but he stopped halfway through it and pressed it back to his knee.

Seeing Cen Xi's indifferent appearance, Banzhi felt a little aggrieved in his heart, but he still had a soft smile on his face, and opened his mouth to comfort:

"I'm sorry, Ah...... I just saw that you were hungry for a day and wanted you to eat more. But it's really uncomfortable to serve soup with vegetables like this, Ah Juan, I won't be like this in the future, you eat slowly......"

Cen Xijun didn't look at half of the branches, just held the chopsticks and stared at the food in the bowl, with coldness between his eyebrows.

"Hmm."

Cen Xijun replied in a low voice.

After this meal, the two did not say a word.

……

At the beginning of the day, Cen Xihuan was ready to rest, and now he was bathing, and Banzhi was cleaning up the mattress.

Since the two of them exchanged their hearts, Cen Xijun asked Banzhi to move to his wing room to live with him. These days, the two have shared the same bed, but there is no round room. It's not for any other reason, it's just that Cen Xijun promised Banzhi that he would marry her back to the Cen family in a bright and bright way, and he didn't want to wronged his branch to be a nameless and undivided roommate.

Half of the branch spread the futon, and received the clothes that Cen Xijun had changed, ready to take them to wash tomorrow. It was only when he shook off the robe that a ball of white things fell out of it, and Banzhi hurriedly bent down to pick it up, and then he saw that it was a white brocade handkerchief.

Banzhi never touches Cen Ximi's things casually, although Cen Xijun doesn't care about these, she still does. Although she knew that she should not touch this veil now, Banzhi couldn't help it, because she knew that this veil was not Cen Xijun's...... Nor hers.
