Chapter 74: Not allowed
Meizhou City, sunset and west.
A gray-covered carriage was moving slowly down the street, the sound of horses' hooves was shallow, and pedestrians were unaware. From time to time, someone blocked the way, and the little guy who was driving the car casually shouted a sentence of "let me go", and passers-by pulled over unhurriedly when they heard the sound.
In the carriage, a man and a woman sat opposite each other.
Xu Qinghe occasionally lifted the curtain of the car to look out, and said to Master Thorn Shi: "Why is it so slow?" I can't walk as fast as I can in the car. β
Shen Ye replied with a calm expression: "I'm afraid of hitting passers-by, so I drive slower." β
Xu Qinghe saw that he was serious, so he didn't want to continue to complain, but he still said, "I was going to walk back before, and you had to let me take the carriage with you." Now I've been wandering for a long time, and I haven't arrived at the Assassin's Mansion yet. β
Shen Ye saw that the woman looked impatient, so he smiled warmly: "Qinghe, what are you doing in a hurry to go home?" β
Xu Qinghe was not in a hurry to return home, but he couldn't stand to sit opposite him in this narrow carriage, and his bent legs touched each other from time to time, which was really exciting......
"I'm afraid of delaying your official business." Xu Qinghe said, "I remember that before, you traveled on horseback, why do you take a car now?" It's a slow drive in the city. β
When Shen Ye heard this, he remembered that she couldn't ride a horse, so he asked, "Qinghe, how about I teach you to ride a horse?" β
Xu Qinghe was stunned, why did he suddenly want to teach her to ride a horse? Then he shook his head and said, "No, you are busy with official duties every day, where do you have time to teach me." Uncle Xu is already teaching me how to ride a horseβ"
"Oh?" Shen Ye smiled, "Then how did you learn?" β
Xu Qinghe said very embarrassedly: "Now I will only turn on the horse's back, and I don't dare to drive arbitrarily." β
Shen Ye hooked his lips and smiled, "Wait for me to have a free day, and I will teach you personally." β
Xu Qinghe was still about to refuse, but seeing that he was smiling lightly and his heartstrings moved slightly, he nodded and responded: "Okay." β
"Wen Yan has built a horse farm on the outskirts of the city, the grass is green and wide, and the scenery is unique, so I will take you to see it when the time comes." Shen Ye said to her.
Xu Qinghe nodded, remembering the scene at the previous banquet, and couldn't help but ask: "You have been an official for so many years, have you really not saved up your savings?" β
Shen Ye smiled when he heard this, and said, "There are savings, but they are far from enough. β
Xu Qinghe looked at him in surprise, "I see that your food, clothing, housing and transportation are extremely simple, and your expenses must not be large, how can it be far from enough?" β
"What really costs money is never food, clothing, housing and transportation." Shen Ye looked at her and said.
When Xu Qinghe heard this, he nodded approvingly, "Food, clothing, housing and transportation can be as you like, you can be frugal or extravagant." Since you have chosen to be frugal, you are saving money to do greater things. β
Shen Ye looked at her with great admiration and asked, "Qinghe, can you guess what big things I'm going to do?" β
Xu Qinghe Ying smiled, "What's so difficult about this!" Since you are in the officialdom, you are naturally planning to be promoted, and the higher the official position, the greater the power in your hands, and the easier it is to do what you want to do. β
Shen Ye smiled knowingly, and couldn't help but joke: "This is a long process that requires a lot of silver. If I'm stretched thin, what will I do? β
Xu Qinghe saw that he was in a happy mood, so he replied: "I can lend you silver, not counting interest." β
Shen Ye frowned, "Lend me money?" β
Xu Qinghe nodded, "That's right!" Anyway, if you are promoted and make a fortune, you don't have to worry about not being able to pay it back1
Shen Ye saw that her abacus was playing loudly, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I'll come to you to borrow money if I lack money in the future." β
"So, in order to make money, you used your power for personal gain, let Li Bozhou come forward to run the gambling house, and then you were divided-" Xu Qinghe stared at him and asked slowly, "What I said is right?" β
This is also something she figured out later!
The gambling house has quietly become the property of the Li Mansion, how can there be no secret operation by Lord Shen!
Shen Ye didn't expect her to suddenly mention the gambling house, and when she saw the woman's beautiful eyes staring at her, she couldn't help but smile and ask: "Could it be that Qinghe also covets the Xinglong Gambling House?" β
Xu Qinghe retracted his gaze, snorted lightly, and said: "Businessmen tend to make profits, and I naturally look at the huge profits of the gambling house." Originally, it was planned that when the government sold the title deed, it would buy it with a lot of money. Where did you think that you quietly gave Li Bozhou 1
Shen Ye shook his head and smiled, and Wen Yan said to her: "The gambling house has always been a gathering of three sects and nine streams, and there are many mishaps. How can you, a woman, take a risk to open a gambling house? β
Xu Qinghe knew that he had good intentions, but he was still a little sullen, "Doing business is inherently risky, if you are timid, how can you make money?" β
Shen Ye didn't know that her courage was amazing, and seeing her unswerving expression, he said warmly at the moment: "Qinghe, doing business requires guts. But if you are alone, it is better to choose the one with less risk. β
Seeing that he cared about himself so much, Xu Qinghe couldn't help but ask, "Will you use your power for personal gain for me?" β
Shen Ye hooked his lips and smiled when he heard this, "Naturally." For your sake, what's the matter of using power for personal gain-" Looking at her bright eyes, the corners of her lips smiled lightly, "As long as Qinghe is shared with me, favoritism will also be done1."
Xu Qinghe listened to the previous sentence, which was touching, and when he said the next sentence, he couldn't cry or laugh, "Lord Shen is so calculating!" The collusion between officials and businessmen has always made a lot of money. However, I am now abiding by the law, and I am afraid that Lord Shen will not have the opportunity to bend the law for personal gain. β
Shen Ye looked at her and said gently: "I know that Qinghe will not do anything that makes me embarrassed. β
When Xu Qinghe heard this, he smiled slyly, "Where can I say anything in the future......
Shen Ye saw her cunning and agile eyes looking at her, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, tried to restrain herself, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't know that you fancied the gambling house before. In the future, when I have the opportunity, I will use my power for personal gain, and give it to youβ"
"You don't have to give it to me, you just need to say hello to me in advance, and I'll buy it with money." Xu Qinghe said.
Shen Ye smiled, "It seems that you don't give me the opportunity to use my power for personal gain." β
Xu Qinghe saw that he seemed to have some regret, so he smiled and said to him solemnly: "You are a clean official, how can I bear to ruin your official reputationββ"
Shen Ye was moved by what she said, and couldn't help herself for a while. couldn't help but lean forward slightly, stretched out his hand, pinned a strand of black hair scattered from the woman's sideburns behind her ear, and her slender fingers lingered on the side of her glossy face.
"Qingheβ" he called to her softly.
Xu Qinghe saw him suddenly approaching, each other's breathing could be heard, and he put his warm finger on her left cheek, quickly turned his head, lowered his eyes and stared at his hands, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?" β
Shen Ye reluctantly withdrew his hand, seeing that the tips of the woman's ears were red, he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at him, and couldn't help laughing: "Your sideburns have fallen out." β
Xu Qinghe knew that this was an excuse, so he whispered: "Talk to me in the future, you are not allowed to do it." The sideburns are divergent, and I will say goodbye to myself. Also, don't get too close to meβ"
If you touch me, and you get so close to me, I'll be flustered......
Shen Ye frowned, "Qinghe, you can't set this kind of rule1
I can't help myself, so I will touch you and get close to you......
