Is this like the attitude of inviting someone to dinner? Qian Zhuang and Xing Zhu immediately glared at Tian Kong, and their footsteps were ready to go.

Although Huo Yao didn't move at all, he also glanced at Tian Kun twice.

Cheng Yuan frowned. This Tian Kong is a Jianghu person, and it is common sense to speak straight. But today, Xie Wan is courteous, no matter what, he should show some bearing as his helmsman, and now he has only spoken a few words, and he is already so impetuous, how can he look like a helmsman? If you say this, you will find fault with your heart. I don't know if Xie Wan can deal with it calmly, so he took on two distractions.

Xie Wan was calm.

She served tea and smiled: "No matter how happy I am, I'm a girl's family, isn't it normal for my mother-in-law to be a little bit?" But the appearance of the Tian gang leader surprised me.

"A person is well-versed and refreshing, and also scores time. If the other party knows your bottom clearly, and you don't even know anything about him, you are still so accessible and cheerful, then you are not missing the roots of your head, you must be impatient. The greatest advantage of me is that I am not burdened by fame, God sometimes does not care for you so much, in order to survive, you have to throw away something. ”

She brought the tea to her lips, took a half-sip, and put it down.

Tian Kun was speechless, and Fang Cai's mockery suddenly appeared in his eyes, turning into a slight stunned.

Cheng Yuan's eyes showed a very relaxed look. I knew that Xie Wan was both rigid and soft, and she was not the kind of person who was easy to be manipulated emotionally, so it seemed that she had her plans! After thinking it through, I relaxed, stood beside it with my hands on my shoulder, and made up my mind to wait and see what happened.

Xing Zhu took the pot at the right time to add hot tea to Xie Wan. put it down, and stepped aside majestically.

Huo Jue's eyes were as silent as water, and when he looked closely, there was no trace of appreciation in his eyes. But Xie Wan couldn't see it, and she took another half sip of tea.

The aroma of Tieguanyin filled the entire elegant room, making people's mood slow down without a trace.

Tian Kun also raised the teacup in front of him, looked at Xie Wan opposite, and said, "The third girl is not afraid, am I poisoning this tea?" ”

"How could Lord Tian Duo be this kind of person?" Xie Wan laughed and looked over generously. "I've heard Second Master Ning say that the Lord of Tian Duo is massive. But today, not only did I not see the slightest smell of wine at the banquet, but the helmsman also specially picked my favorite daily drink Tieguanyin, which shows the sincerity of the helmsman. If Lord Tian Duo wants to harm me, why bother? Let alone. Tian Duo mainly asked me to say something. I haven't said it yet. ”

Tian Kong raised his eyebrows and said, "Obviously, you invited me to dinner." Why did I talk to you again? I'm afraid the three girls are mistaken! ”

Xie Wan slowly straightened up and said, "If Lord Tian Duo didn't have something to look for me, why did he try to provoke me. Test me? Not only do I know that the helmsman has something to look for me, but I also know that this matter must be very troublesome to the helmsman, otherwise, you would not have turned to me for help, whom I have never even met. This shows that you have no other way, helmsman. ”

Tian Kong was stunned and speechless, looking at Xie Wan, who was sitting opposite him, but as safe as sitting between the brocade embroidery scenes, his face was officially a little dignified.

He was a man of many years, but in her presence he suddenly felt as if he had been stripped naked and stood in front of her, and although he had investigated her background, he still could not see through her, she knew nothing about him, and in this moment he had seen through his motives in the midst of laughter and conversation.

He turned his head and exchanged glances with Du Biao, and Du Biao came back to his senses from his shock.

It's not that they haven't seen people who are careful and witty, what they haven't seen is someone who is so young, and can be so calm and unhurried in addition to being witty and careful. According to experience, anyone who is young and ambitious is not proud and irritable, Tian Kun provokes each other with words, and Xie Wan is not shocked, with this determination, it is no wonder that she can attract so many hidden people around her.

Tian Kun glanced at the people around Xie Wan, and then looked at Xie Wan, his tone was already very modest, "No wonder everyone says that Qinghe is an outstanding person, originally I didn't believe it, but now that I see the third girl, I can't help but believe it." Only then did he get the crime, please don't blame the three girls. Regarding the identity of the third girl, as long as the girl doesn't say it, I dare to guarantee that no one in the Cangzhou rudder will ever know about it. ”

Xie Wan said: "Where is the Lord Tian Duo? However, if the helmsman can keep Xie Wan's secret, it would be the best. Although I'm not burdened by fame, it's not like a girl to come out with her face. If I could avoid it, I would still choose to avoid it. ”

Tian Kun said with a smile: "The girl's character is good, which makes Tian admire, so she naturally maintains the girl's reputation first." At the moment, he turned his head and said behind him: "Command the food." While motioning for Du Biao to come over and pour tea for Xie Wan.

At this point, the atmosphere can be considered harmonious. Cheng Yuan and the others retreated outside the screen to drink tea and wait, leaving only Xing Zhu to wait.

Tian Kong ordered a lot of dishes, and to Xie Wan's surprise, the dishes he ordered were very delicate and light, which was very suitable for Xie Wan's eating habits, but she thought about it again, he even met her preferences for this meal, and it was not surprising that this dish would be for her.

However, since he knows her eating habits, why did he choose to find this embarrassing and vulgar lucky building?

After tasting all the dishes she ordered, she printed her lips and said, "I don't know if Lord Tian Duo is so bothered to entertain me, what can Xie Wan do to help?" ”

Tian Kun hesitated for a moment and said, "Tian has set up another table next door for a banquet, why don't you ask these girls to move to the neighboring side to rest for a while, what does the girl think?" ”

Xie Wan was silent. Tian Kun was politely proposing to talk to her alone, it seems that the matter will not be a trivial matter, but in the end, when he met Tian Kunchu, although he showed sincerity, it was difficult to ensure that he was uneasy about any bad intentions, so he casually turned the teacup in his hand and was silent.

Xing Zhu said: "Lord Tian Duo, please forgive me, our girl has been clothed and fed since she was a child, and there are indispensable people around her." ”

Tian Kong couldn't, so he had to send Du Biao and the others down first, and then discussed with Xie Wan: "In this case, can you leave only the noble waiter next to the girl and let the few people outside the screen go to eat next door?" ”

Xie Wan thought about it and agreed. So he asked Xing Zhu to go out and talk to Cheng Yuan.

The two compartments are just separated by a screen, and Qian Zhuang has already heard it. When he heard this, he looked at Cheng Yuan and asked him to make an idea.

Cheng Yuan thought for a while, and arched his hand towards Du Biao, who came out, and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the room.

Huo Jue arrived outside the door and said, "I'll go wash my hands." ”

Cheng Yuan was about to speak, but Qian Zhuang gave him a look and let Huo Yao go. When Du Biao and the others left, Qian Zhuang whispered to Cheng Yuan: "Most of him took the opportunity to listen." There was only Xing Zhu in it, so it would be good for him to take a look. Cheng Yuan thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he went into the next room with him.

After Du Biao led them out of the door, Xie Wan raised his lips and said to Tian Kong: "These people are all my henchmen, why should Lord Tian Helm be so taboo about them?" ”

Tian Kun said: "Don't hide it from the girl, I think that although the Huo guard next to you is gentle, he is faintly imposing under a closer look, not like a person who is waiting for me to beg for food on the knife edge." And what Tian said was something that could not be put on the table, so he wanted to talk to the girl alone for fear of causing some unnecessary troubles. ”

Although Huo Jue was born as a prodigal son, after all, his ancestors were people who fought bloodily with the Huo family's ancestor Zhongshan King and made meritorious achievements. And the conversation between Xie Wan and Tian Kun is bound to touch on some shady topics, and it is indeed not convenient to have Huo Yao, who has just been reinstated, present.

Xie Wan said: "Then now, Lord Tian Duo can always rest assured and speak boldly." ”

Tian Kong nodded and said, "Before I say that, let me ask the girl, when the old man of the Ning family came back to borrow a boat from the girl, did he tell you about the current situation in the Cao Gang?" ”

Xie Wan pondered and said, "I mentioned a little. ”

Tian Kun sighed and said, "Then the girl must know about the private development of shipping affairs in the Cao Gang because of uneven interests."

"Now the competition in the Cao Gang is very fierce, because the helmsman Cao revised the gang rules after taking office, and the wharf is now self-managed, and the income and expenditure are borne by themselves, so there are benefits, that is, you can justifiably develop your own forces, but the bad thing is that if you want to develop your forces, you have to have more money, so finding a way to collect money has become a top priority for each wharf."

"Tian has so many brothers to support, naturally he can't avoid vulgarity, and he doesn't hide from the girl, Tian has done a lot of bullying businesses and running on civilian ships. But I can't help it, except that the brothers below have to support their families, and the dock has to take out a fixed amount of money every year to hand over to the helm, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't even take over the girl's business. ”

Speaking of this, there was a hint of confusion on his face, as if he was worried about hurting Xie Wan's face.

Xie Wan said calmly: "Lord Tian Duo, please go on." ”

Tian Kun straightened his emotions and said, "But there are more than 20 rudders in Quancao, and everyone wants to get the most meat, how is it possible?" Because of this, I did not form a bond with other helmsmen. Three months ago, one of my grain boats accidentally collided with a grain boat under Tong Fen, the helmsman of Jishuitan, in the Tongzhou River.

"Tong Fen has relied on the important town of Beijing in recent years, and he is the richest one in the Cao Gang, but Tong Fen is greedy, and he still has no concessions to the rudder grain ships below the Tongzhou River.

"It was only a three-foot-long cracked slab, and he offered me five thousand taels of silver. Of course I didn't follow, but I didn't expect Tong Fen to sue the chief helmsman Cao, and fabricated evidence to falsely accuse me of deliberately destroying his ship, and also accused me of plotting rebellion and trying to mess up the luck, so that the court blamed the chief helmsman.

"I was speechless in the face of perjury, so the chief helmsman sent a young envoy to supervise my internal affairs, and if there was no success within three months, I was removed from my post and replaced by another person." (To be continued.) )
