Chapter 176: Owe
"I dreamed that a lot of ships were flooded, don't you have a lot of cargo ships in your trading house, otherwise don't go by water recently."
In the previous life, before the two lakes were flooded, there was an incident.
One day, a strong wind arose on the river, and the merchant ships docked to wait for the wind to stop in order to avoid the wind, but somehow the first ship caught fire, and the fire continued downwind, and dozens of merchant ships and their goods on board were all reduced to ashes.
The men of the merchant house and the boatman who accompanied the ship to press the cargo could swim, and there were no casualties, but the cargo on the cargo ship could not be saved.
More than half of the cargo ships belonged to the Qi family.
The losses are innumerable.
Yan Qi was stunned and laughed out loud.
Jiang Lingran immediately covered his face.
What a ridiculous nonsense this is about!!
It's strange that he can believe it!
Jiang Lingran listened to his laughter constantly, and he didn't even have the courage to raise his head, so he held his forehead and said weakly: "You just treat me as nonsense." ”
Yan Qi saw her annoyed like this, and understood that she didn't plan to say this.
It was after he gave her the gift slip that she decided to say it.
She is like that, and if anyone treats her well for one point, she will pay two points back.
She didn't want to owe a favor to anyone.
But he insisted that she owe.
He wants her to always think about one thing in her heart, and that is to owe him a favor.
He smiled slightly, leaned forward, leaned closer to her lowered little face, and asked in a low voice, "You only dreamed of my family's cargo ship, and didn't dream of anything else?" ”
Like, he?
Jiang Lingran looked at the face that was approaching, resisted the urge to push away, and said lightly: "No." ”
Yan Qi had long known that this was the answer, and he was not disappointed, so he asked instead: "Are you hiding something from me?" ”
Jiang Lingran's back stiffened, and his clear eyes were flustered, and he blurted out, "What did you say?" ”
Did he know anything?
Yan Qi sat back and said with a smile: "Why didn't you tell me that your mother's ancestral home is Jiangnan." ”
Jiang Lingran breathed a sigh of relief, looked at him again, and said, "You didn't ask me either." ”
Yan Qi laughed, she knew how to block him.
Jiang Lingran paused and said, "Who told you?" ”
Yan Qi said: "Wanjingxi." He said you're looking for your aunt's family. ”
Jiang Lingran nodded: "Hmm." ”
Yan Qi didn't know which question she was answering with this "um".
didn't bother, and said: "I'm familiar with Jiangnan, if I told me, I would have found it for you." ”
Jiang Lingran didn't want to trouble him, and said, "Thank you, it's okay to have a brother to look for it." ”
Yan Qi was silent and swallowed a few melon seeds before he said again: "Have you heard of my pro-Jiangnan person?" So you didn't dare tell me? ”
Jiang Lingran glanced at him, lowered his eyes again, shook his head and said, "No." ”
That day he cried when he talked about his mother.
She has indeed heard thousands of people mention that Yan Qi will naturally have a little more closeness to the people in Jiangnan.
She was indeed afraid that he would be close to her because of the enthusiasm for his homeland in his heart.
So.
But everything she hid, he seemed to know in the end, and would silently help her.
She didn't ask, and he didn't ask for credit.
When he said that businessmen were making profits, he was not true at all.
But they are really just strangers who meet in Pingshui, and these four words are too heavy without asking for anything in return!
Therefore, whenever she thinks of him, there is always a string in her heart, and from time to time it tickles the tip of her heart, which is very annoying.
Only by returning what he had done for her could the string be loosened.
"What is not, it is clearly written on the face." Yan Qi snorted lightly and said unhappily: "What are you afraid of, I can still eat you?" ”
Jiang Lingran saw that he was angry and wanted to explain, but as soon as he opened his mouth, before he could say anything, he saw him holding his stomach and said, "Do you still have food at home?" The more you eat these melon seeds, the hungrier you get. ”
Jiang Lingran: ""
He's deflated?!
"Didn't you have dinner?"
Yan Qi shook his head.
He deliberately rushed in when it was raining heavily.
The ears of those who patrol the night are surprisingly bright, and if he does not take advantage of the chaotic sound of rain, he will surely be discovered.
Jiang Lingran said: "The stove in the kitchen has long been extinguished, there is no food, you can eat elsewhere." ”
Yan Qi: ""
said that she was young and had no conscience, but she really walked along the road of no conscience.
There was a "squeak" and the door opened.
The two who were staring at each other looked at each other, and saw the stunned Xiang Zhu standing at the threshold.
Xiang Zhu saw Yan Qi suddenly, and was so frightened that he almost threw out the footbath in his hand, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly put down the basin and closed the door with his backhand, saying, "Yunmeng took those little girls to play in the water under the porch." ”
Yan Qi sighed: "What can I do about this?" I can't get out. ”
Jiang Lingran really didn't see the nervousness on his face.
Since he can't leave for a while, let's give him a stutter.
looked at Xiang Zhu and said, "You go to the kitchen and see, what else is there to eat." ”
Jiang Lingran had already eaten dinner, so when he asked about food, he naturally asked Yan Qi for him. Xiang Zhu nodded and retreated, and carefully closed the door.
Instead of going to the kitchen immediately, he retrieved Qingyu and told her to guard the door, listen to the movement inside, and be careful not to let people break in.
Yan Qi looked at the steaming footbath that was still steaming on the ground by the bamboo, and said with a smile: "Why don't you soak your feet?" After speaking, he was immediately stunned.
His smile suddenly retracted, and he thought about it again: "Did you get drenched in the rain just now?" You go clubbing, I don't look at you, but don't catch a cold. ”
Jiang Lingran didn't bother to take care of him.
Looking at his muddy cuffs, she said, "There's water in the house, do you want to wash it?" ”
Yan Qi naturally couldn't ask for it, so he went immediately, and came out after a while.
Jiang Lingran glanced at it and twitched the corner of his mouth.
It's still the same clothes, I don't know what kind of refreshment he has?
Yan Qi walked up to her, stretched out his hand and said, "It's wet." ”
Jiang Lingran followed the palm stretched out in front of her eyes, looked up, stared at his face, and grinded his back molars: "Which wall did you climb in from?" ”
Yan Qi smiled: "What are you doing?" ”
Jiang Lingran said: "I want to raise a dog to be tethered under the wall." After saying that, he entered the inner room in a puff, took out the muslin again, and had an extra bottle of hemostatic powder in his hand.
Yan Qi said while bandaging: "If you want to raise a dog, you can find me, I have a dog at home, I will give you one another day." ”
Jiang Lingran thought about the surroundings of this mansion and wondered, "Which wall did you climb in from?" ”
This is not as small as the hot spring Zhuangzi, if he wants to enter the backyard, the wall to climb must not be one, how did he find her here accurately?
Also, if he wants not to attract attention, he must reduce the target, and the umbrella must not be able to hold.
But his clothes showed no signs of rain except for the muddy water that had been stained after falling.
Yan Qi saw that she was serious, and haha: "It's so dark, where do I remember clearly, it's probably from the north." ”
Jiang Lingran smiled when he heard this: "The north is the lotus pond, you haven't drowned, right?" ”
Yan Qi: ""
There's really nothing to eat in the kitchen.
Xiang Zhu quietly went to Aunt Lizi, saying that Jiang Lingran had eaten a few more pieces of dim sum with Yan Liangyi before dinner, but he didn't eat a few bites during dinner, and he was hungry at this time.
Aunt Pear wants to make some sweet soup that Jiang Lingran likes.
