Li Bozhou walked out of the gate of the county government, saw that the sky was not dark, remembered that he had not seen his fiancée for half a month, and his longing suddenly flooded, and he hurriedly walked towards Anping Street.

Passing by Xu's Buzhuang halfway through, habitually looking inside, and sure enough, I saw a pretty figure, but it was much taller than my sweetheart up close, and I was immediately disappointed, and I was about to continue moving forward, when the tall figure happened to see Li Bozhou, and immediately said crisply: "Where did Li Xiucai come from?" You don't say hello when you see me here? Presumably my cousin is not here today, this shop can't get into the eyes of Xiucai! ”

The name of the person who spoke was Xu Qinghe, eighteen years old, the person in charge of the Xu Mansion, and the cousin of Li Bozhou's fiancée Su Jingshu.

Li Bozhou hurriedly went in to make a move, and replied with a smile: "Cousin is serious, didn't I see you?" This Xu's cloth village is the largest cloth village in Meizhou City, how dare I look down on it. ”

Xu Qinghe quipped: "Your cousin is shouting early, my family Jingshu hasn't entered the gate of your Li Mansion yet." ”

Li Bozhou smiled: "Isn't this going to be in a few days?" The title is changed early and it is easy to do it early. Seeing Xu Qinghe looking at himself with a smile, he boldly asked, "Cousin, do you know what Jingshu has been doing recently?" The little brother hasn't seen her for a long time. ”

Xu Qinghe said: "I naturally know, but ......" deliberately delayed his voice and paused for a while, seeing Li Bozhou's eager face, he said badly: "I won't tell you." ”

Li Bozhou was discouraged, he had already learned Xu Qinghe's skills, but he had no choice but to know the recent situation of his sweetheart through her.

Xu Qinghe accepted it when he saw it, and said with a grin: "The bride is naturally embroidering the wedding dress in the boudoir, and she is thinking about her future husband while embroidering." ”

Li Bozhou's mind suddenly appeared in the picture of his sweetheart eyebrows, embroidering the wedding dress by candlelight. Hurriedly said: "Please also ask my cousin to tell Jingshu that the candle light is weak at night, so don't embroider, it won't be good if you hurt your eyes." ”

Xu Qinghe snorted pretendedly, "What's the use of you making such a caring appearance in front of me?" You have to talk to my family Jingshu in person, so that she can understand your intentions, so that she will not always have to suffer from gains and losses in front of me......"

Li Bozhou was so keen, he quickly grasped the key word, "Gain and loss? Don't you know my mind? ”

"How can I know the entanglement between you." Xu Qinghe said as if nothing happened. knew that what he said just now had set off a storm in Li Bozhou's heart, and he was bound to show his affection to his cousin before the wedding. Holding back a smile, he said silently in his heart, "Cousin, cousin, I can only help you get here." ”

Li Bozhou's thoughts were all on his fiancée, and he hurriedly said goodbye to his cousin and walked quickly to Su Mansion.

Xu Qinghe smiled and watched Li Bozhou go out in a hurry, happy that his cousin had found a lover. turned around and saw the shopkeeper Xu Fu also looking at the door with a smile, and immediately slapped the counter hard, bluffing the shopkeeper boss.

"Look at what! Don't give me last month's account books yet! Xu Qinghe reprimanded.

There are more than a dozen shops under the name of Xufu, and the business scope includes grain, oil, rice and noodles, tea, medicinal materials, cloth, sericulture, cotton, tobacco, etc., among which cloth, grain and medicinal materials are the most profitable. Originally, at the beginning of each month, the shopkeepers of each shop had to send the account books of the previous month to the Xu Mansion for inspection. However, Xu Fu, the shopkeeper of the cloth village, delayed for a few days.

Xu Qinghe passed by Xu's Buzhuang today, remembered this incident, and came in to ask for the account book, so he met Li Bozhou.

After Xu Fu turned out the account book, Xu Qinghe took it to the backyard of Buzhuang and looked at it carefully. He summoned his fellows, and after some questioning, he made sure that the account books were correct, and then he got up and left. All the most profitable shops, the shopkeepers are the most trusted people in Xu's father's life. Xu Qinghe easily didn't doubt them, but he didn't trust them completely.

Xu Qinghe went out every day, followed by the maid Xu Yao and the bodyguard Xu Ya. Xu Ya has deep internal strength and agile skills, especially good at flying eaves and walking walls. He was originally a man in the rivers and lakes, and because of the life-saving grace of his father, he voluntarily entered the Xu Mansion to protect Xu Qinghe's safety.

After reading the account book, Xu Qinghe went home. When passing by the largest Xinglong gambling house in Meizhou City, I happened to see my second uncle being thrown out of the door, and he immediately fell on his back.

Xu Yao, who was beside him, saw this scene and said angrily: "Miss, the second master has come out to gamble again!" Last time, he swore to quit gambling in front of the whole house! ”

Xu Qinghe sneered, "You take his nonsense seriously." Turned around and told the housekeeper that the monthly rules in the second master's courtyard would be cancelled from now on. The Xu family's hard-earned money is not used to feed the dogs. ”

Xu Yao hurriedly responded: "Yes! ”

Xu Qinghe said to Xu Ya behind him: "Uncle Xu, if you find an excuse later, you will say that you will not pay off your debts, and drag the second master to a secluded alley to teach you a lesson." ”

Xu Yamian did not change his color and said: "Broken hand or broken foot?" ”

Xu Yao's heart was terrified when she heard this, why was Uncle Xu so cruel!

"Break a leg! Save yourself from running out and being embarrassed. Xu Qinghe said lightly.

Xu Yao glared at her own young lady in surprise, in the past, the second master went out to gamble and was discovered by the young lady, so he turned around and asked his wife to admonish him. How did it become so brutal today!

The three of them were hidden among the onlookers, Xu Erye didn't see them for a while, watching the onlookers pointing at him, he hurriedly got up in embarrassment, patted the dust on his body, and didn't dare to go in again, stomped his feet pretending to stomp his feet, and walked away scolding.

Xu Qinghe sneered, continued to go home slowly, and when he met a small stall vendor, he went up to take a look, and asked Xu Yao to buy something interesting with money.

Most of the small traders in the city know Xu Qinghe, and they know that she is different from other rich children, and likes to patronize small vendors without a storefront. Therefore, when they saw her coming leisurely, they greeted her warmly.

By the time Xu Qinghe finally walked to Xu's mansion, it was already dark. There was a lot of noise in Xu's mansion, Xu Qinghe frowned, and the housekeeper Xu Fu ran forward in a panic and shouted, "Miss, something happened!" The second master broke his leg, and the people in the courtyard are making trouble! ”

Xu Qinghe hurriedly said, "Have you won the invitation?" No other injuries, right? ”

"I broke my leg alone, and Lang Zhong is still on the way." Xu replied.

Xu Qinghe hurriedly walked into the courtyard of Xu Erye, and as soon as he stepped into the room, he saw the second lady Zhao pounce on Xu Qinghe's sleeve and said in pain: "Qinghe! Your second uncle can't be beaten in vain! You're going to call the shots for us! ”

"Auntie, rest assured, Qinghe will definitely find out the murderer! If you dare to commit murder in broad daylight, there is still no royal law in your eyes! Xu Qinghe said indignantly. Then he helped Zhao, who was in tears, to sit down in front of the bed, and then went to look at Xu Erye, who was in pain on the bed, his face was gray and bleak, reflecting a few bruises, which looked hideous and ugly, and the knee of his right leg was even more bloodstained.

Xu Qinghe hurriedly asked with an anxious and distressed face: "Second uncle, have you ever seen the appearance of the murderer?" It is also possible for the officials to be captured as soon as possible. ”

Xu Erye's brain was buzzing in pain, and he replied vaguely: "It's dark... Covered face...... Can't see clearly. ”

"Do you remember where the second uncle was attacked?"

"Casino...... Back...... In the alleys. After Xu Erye finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly added: "In the Sigu Alley of Changping Street, not in the casino...... I have a mixed mind......"
