Although it seems that only a few short months have passed, the relationship between them has undergone some changes.

Qi Duo no longer saw Chu Yue like a black-eyed chicken and wanted to quarrel with Chu Yue, but was silent a lot.

Sitting in the carriage, the weather outside was gloomy and as if it was going to snow. Fortunately, since the beginning of winter, because there is no longer lightning and thunder, the bodies of Chu Yue and Xie Siyun are rarely exchanged.

On the first day, the three people sitting in the carriage set off from Penglai, and they were speechless: Chu Yue didn't have anything to say, and Xie Siyun didn't know how to say it.

Qi Duo lowered his head, and he didn't know how, the morning passed awkwardly.

Because they were in a hurry to rush to Nanzhou City, they didn't stop for lunch.

It was the dry food that had been packed in Penglai and brought it in the car, Chu Yue had no appetite, Xie Siyun put a piece of chicken leg in front of Chu Yue, and then looked at Qi Duo who was sitting opposite: "Ah Duo, mother's business...... I don't blame you. Don't always be like this, but you're embarrassing me and Hatsuki. ”

Speaking of Xie Shen's family, Qi Duo's eyes were red.

I just got the chicken wings in my hand, and I couldn't eat them at this time, so I just put them aside: "If I didn't do it so willingly...... If I had been with her, none of these things would have happened. Si Yun, you don't have to comfort me, I know that I can't get rid of many things like this. ”

He took a deep breath and raised his eyes to look at Chu Yue and Xie Siyun: "Now that I see you so good, my heart is only slightly better." ”

Xie Siyun nodded, and then continued: "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. When Yue'er and I came back, we passed by Yunwu and saw her father. ”

Yes, such a thing should not be hidden from Qi Duo.

Sure enough, Qi Duo raised his eyes suddenly, and his eyes, which had been gloomy, finally brought a little brightness and light: "That is the question that has been bothering you...... Is it solved? ”

Xie Siyun nodded, but shook his head again, and then looked at Chu Yue.

Chu Yue knew that she should have said these things herself, and she also smiled at Qi Duoluo: "Your guess was right at the time. My father...... It was the high priest of Yunwu, and my mother was the raccoon girl back then. However, we are in a hurry to return to Nanzhou City, so we haven't let him solve this problem for us. But I also made it clear, when the matter is over, I will go to Yunwu again. ”

In fact...... From a certain point of view, Chu Yue even didn't want to change back to a normal state with Xie Siyun: it seemed that this was already a unique bond that belonged to the two of them.

Qi Duo was happy for them from the bottom of his heart.

Chu Yue felt that there was one more thing to say: "There is still ...... Two days ago, we saw the rain and rain. ”

"Click—"

The shortbread that Qi Duo was holding in his hand broke off in response.

He was silent for a long time before he raised his head: "She's in Penglai, I know." I just don't want to, you've met so soon. She...... All right? ”

Qi Duo's heart is still concerned about Yin Yuwan, right? After all, it was the woman he had loved for so long.

Chu Yue lowered his head, Xie Siyun picked up the half of the shortbread that fell on the ground and put it on the handkerchief on the side: "The body is very good, but looking at the side, it is not as good as before." She was too obsessed, and she also learned the news that we had Penglai. So I thought, maybe in the near future, we'll meet her again. ”

Chu Yue understood that Xie Siyun was to remind Qi Duo.

Qi Duo didn't care much, just nodded lightly: "I've been hiding from her for so long, just see her." It's not my fault. ”

Qi Duo ...... after all Still understood.

The unpleasant topic ended at this lunch.

Xu said a lot, and Qi Duo's mood was obviously much better after lunch.

Although they are on the same beach, Chuyue always feels that when it snows in Penglai, it is always different from Nanzhou City.

Before the New Year's Festival passed, the first moon and their group returned to Nanzhou City.

It is probably because of the current New Year's Festival, so Nanzhou City is particularly friendly, and even the Xie family, who always wants to make trouble on weekdays, is quiet, and even handed a post to the shark yarn workshop, saying that they are coming to pay New Year's greetings.

The seventh day of the new year has passed, and it should have been a good time to pay New Year's greetings.

But on the third day of their return in the first month, the people of the Xie family really came to the door!

Originally, the sturgeon was told to deal with it, and the people from the Xie family were nothing more than a big house or a second room.

But Chuyue was getting up to wash, and she heard Xiaocao enter the door and report: "Madam, the old man and the old lady of the Xie family have come to pay New Year's greetings." ”

So when he was fiddling with the hairpin, he paused: This is strange! This year, I only heard that the big house and the second room went out to pay New Year's greetings, and the old man and the old lady rarely came forward if it was not a very important thing on weekdays. Why did you come to their shark mill today? Is it to think too highly of them, or is there some other purpose?

Chu Yue hurriedly put the hairpin into the bun, and when she went out, she saw Xie Siyun and Qi Duo standing in place.

The two of them were practicing boxing in the courtyard, and they thought they had heard the news, so they didn't move.

After all, Xie Siyun is the Xie family, and knowing that the old man and the old lady are here, he naturally can't pretend that nothing happened.

Chu Yue stepped forward and gently took his hand: "Do you want to go and see?" Or is it...... Shall I go? ”

Xie Siyun smiled slightly, and his state of distraction quickly passed: "You go first, there must be a purpose for them to come." It's inconvenient for us to go, and Ah Duo and I are here to wait for your news, and we are also optimistic about our yard. ”

His idea made sense: if the Xie family really sent some messy people over now, I am afraid that the manpower in their courtyard would really not be enough. It's always good to be a little more defensive.

The sturgeon is in the front hall to entertain guests, no matter what their relationship with the Xie family is, the old man and the old lady of the Xie family personally come to visit the New Year, which is naturally a rare guest and a distinguished guest.

Hatsuki cautiously walked to the antechamber and stood behind the screen: she was in the right position to hear the people in the antechamber, but they couldn't notice herself. And with the sturgeon and a few girls in the way, she is safe.

Just looking at the old man and the old lady of the Xie family, it is really very different from before: now they are wearing silk and satin, and they look glamorous, where are they still the second old man who was sad all day long for the house?

Especially the old lady, just sitting there, set up a full shelf.

took the teacup and glanced at the sturgeon: "This shark yarn workshop, are you in charge?" ”

The sturgeon was not annoyed, and respected them as the second elder: "Naturally, my name is the sturgeon, and the two of you can call me the shopkeeper." Or according to the seniority, just call me Xiaoyuan. ”

Chu Yue guessed that the second elder would definitely call her "Xiaoyuan" in order to suppress her identity.

Sure enough, the old man stroked his beard and looked at the sturgeon: "Xiaoyuan, you have taken good care of this shark yarn workshop!" We never thought that a small cloth village that appeared out of thin air would gain a firm foothold in Nanzhou City within a month. I heard that you are from the land of cloud witches? It's not to be underestimated! ”

If it is polite, Yuan Sturgeon naturally won't take it to heart: "Where is it, compared to the Xie family's great business, from Pearl Village all the way to Nanzhou City's unstoppable momentum, I'm afraid that my little cloth Zhuangzi can't get into the eyes of the second elder!" ”

"Hahaha, Xiaoyuan is really good at talking!"

The old lady's sharp gaze looked up and down on the sturgeon's body: "But I see, I'm afraid you're not the real shopkeeper of the shark yarn shop, right?" I don't understand the rules of our Nanzhou City, just with a lot of blood, I want to break through here, and I have to ask our Xie family if they agree, right? ”

As she spoke, she put down the teacup in her hand as if she were pinching, and then snorted coldly: "Tell your real shopkeeper to come out and speak!" Since we are here today, it is natural that we want to see the Lord. Is a little girl like you worthy to talk to us?! ”

The old lady deserves to be an old lady, and Chu Yue thought that they had come to Nanzhou City all the way, and it could be regarded as hidden, but she didn't want to be discovered by the old lady.

But Chu Yue is not in a hurry, what she wants to determine now is, what is the situation of the old lady?

First, they may have known their identities from Yin Yuwan or Jing Lixin, and knew that she and Xie Siyun were still alive, so they came to find trouble.

Second, she didn't know that the people behind the scenes were Chu Yue and Xie Siyun, but she thought that someone was playing tricks, so she came to find out the truth.

The two situations should naturally be treated differently.

Yuan Sturgeon didn't panic, just stared at the old lady, and never put down the teacup in his hand: "The second elder of the Xie family laughed!" Nanzhou City is not at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but it is also the largest city in Nanzhou. How dare I deceive the people in broad daylight? The shopkeeper of this shark yarn workshop is indeed not just below, and there is no one else. ”

Her tone was indifferent, which made Chu Yue appreciate it very much.

But Chu Yue also carefully stared at the old lady's movements from the gap, and found that her body was actually a little relaxed at this moment.

But the tone is still more and more aggressive: "Okay! As long as you are careful, I don't know? Those who are hiding, those who know, know that you are going to do business, and those who do not know think that you are doing some shady business! ”

She lowered her head and stroked her sleeve, looking impatient: "Since you said that you can take care of things, then I don't force you to see your shopkeeper." It's just that there is one thing now, and you still need to be in charge of the house, that is, I don't know if you have done such a master! ”

When she raised her eyes again, her eyes were a little aggressive: "You know, our Xie family started as pearls." My daughter-in-law is an anxious man, and she has already informed the Chamber of Commerce about your illegal sale of pearls. I think the Chamber of Commerce will come to your door and talk to you soon. ”

She sneered: "I also asked my daughter-in-law to propose that you join the club." If you can pay me 10,000 taels of silver today, it will be a membership fee, and I will naturally say good things about you in front of the Chamber of Commerce. ”
