When Yan Yuqing was rescued by the boatman, her whole body was soaked, and she shivered from the cold river water.

At this time, Yan Yuqing was delicate and helpless, Chu Chu was pitiful, and her wet clothes were attached to her body, outlining her delicate curves.

After the boat docked, Yan Yuqing saw Xuanyuan Jue with a black face, and the squire officials beside him all retreated.

Jiang Nushi took the magnolia-colored golden lotus pattern robe and put it on Yan Yuqing, and then went back to the house.

A maid had already prepared ginger soup for her to bathe.

Tonight, Xiangyang Thorn Shi held a reception banquet for Xuanyuan Jue, and famous people here were invited to participate.

Jiang Nushi twisted Yan Yuqing's forged black hair, and muttered, "Tonight's reception banquet, the girl will resign." Cover yourself with a quilt and cover it well, and the wind chill will be fine tomorrow morning. ”

Yan Yuqing didn't have much interest in these banquets, they were all people he didn't know, so he happily agreed.

Qingzhu opened the curtain and came in and said, "Yan Jingxing, the director of Xiangyang, come to see the girl." ”

Yan Yuqing hurriedly ordered someone to come in.

She had heard of this person from Yan Dian, a child who was a step-on from a side uncle. Keen on numbers and strong memory, he is deeply valued by the old people in the clan. Now Xiangyang helps take care of Gan's freight, minerals and salt industries.

Not to be underestimated.

This time, he and Yan Yuqing will take care of the turquoise mine together.

Yan Yuqing wore long hair, wore a homely white thread-picking gauze skirt, and sat casually next to the desk with clogs.

A man in a flowing robe walked in, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a refined and dusty posture, without a trace of businessman's shrewdness.

He gives people a light and comfortable feeling, and the faint fragrance of rain and dew on his body surrounds Yan Yuqing's senses.

After greeting each other, Yan Jingxing told her about the general situation of the turquoise mine.

This vein was found on the mountain of the Wu family in Xiangyang, and the Wu family agreed to transfer the vein to the Yan family, and the specific price, Yan Jingxing wanted to wait for Yan Yuqing to see this vein and the turquoise that came out of it before talking.

Yan Yuqing was familiar with the quality of gemstones and the market price, so the patriarch agreed that she would travel thousands of miles to Xiangyang.

After the two agreed, they set the date of going to the mine three days later.

Yan Jingxing went to the front hall to participate in Xuanyuan Jue's reception banquet.

Jiang Nushi took a bowl of cold medicine, looked at Yan Yuqing after drinking it, and said, "The person who went to inquire just replied, saying that the Wu family in Xiangyang has been in business for generations and is in the salt mine business. We also have many years of business dealings with Yan's, and our salt mine in Xiangyang still cooperates with his family. ”

Yan Yuqing picked up a candied fruit and put it in his mouth, and said in a muttering voice: "Then why did they give us the turquoise mine?" ”

Jiang Nushi watched the maids who came to clean up the dishes, and then stepped back before saying: "In addition to salt mines, their family also does some gambling and money businesses, and they have a lot of influence in Xiangyang. But they don't understand gemstones, and the family has never dabbled in this, and it is estimated that Yan Jingxing's conditions for him are also very rich, so they are willing to agree. ”

Yan Yuqing said: "Interlacing is like a mountain, and there are risks in being an industry that you don't understand." It's really not as convenient as taking the benefits directly. ”

"I heard that Wu Qing, the eldest grandson of the Wu family, will get married next month, and he will marry a girl from the Yang family of his brother-in-law. Should we prepare a congratulatory gift in advance and send it then? ”

Jiang Nushi is always so careful and thoughtful, Yan Yuqing let her watch the arrangement by herself.

There was nothing to do at the moment, Yan Yuqing understood their hard work along the way, and sent them back to rest early, leaving only a maid on duty at night to guard under the corridor.

The Thorn Mansion is really big, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the front hall has reached Yan Yuqing, and it is already vaguely inaudible. The occasional sound of ducks rattling made Yan Yuqing think of the clear river.

Yan Yuqing ordered the maid to light a small lantern and carry it towards the outside of the house.

She was glad that she didn't bring many maids with her. This should be newly found in Xiangyang. If it was someone trained by Jiang Nushi, she might not be able to come out now.

The starry sky at night casts a mysterious veil over the river, and the stars reflect the water in a sparkling light.

Koi fish swim quietly in the water.

Yan Yuqing held a lantern in his hand, walked all the way along the shore, and saw someone fishing by the lake.

Fishing at night, can you see it? Yan Yuqing stepped forward curiously.

I saw the man sitting barefoot on the shore, his robe hanging haphazardly on the ground, his long hair untied, floating in the wind.

A pair of clogs sit not far away, and there is a delicate wine glass next to it.

When the man saw Yan Yuqing walk in, he didn't say hello or move, and he was still fishing quietly as if no one was around.

Yan Yuqing saw that this person had no malicious intent, and he also sat down quietly on the side and enjoyed the surrounding scenery. Her curiosity made her want to stop by and see if the man next to her could catch fish at night.

After a long time, the man still didn't move, and just when Yan Yuqing thought he was asleep, he got up.

The tall body blocked the already faint moonlight at once, and Yan Yuqing began to hurriedly look for the small lantern she brought out.

I don't know when, but I destroyed myself.

It may be that the person saw that Yan Yuqing's movement was too loud and noisy him, or maybe he felt that Yan Yuqing was too anxious, he turned his head to look at her for the first time, and said, "Close your eyes, open them again after a while, and you can adapt to the darkness." ”

His quiet and distant eyes made Yan Yuqing do the same.

The moment she opened her eyes again, she was full of the same eyes she had just seen.

Yan Yuqing exclaimed in fright, fell to the ground, and the person opposite laughed wildly when he saw this.

From the initial forbearance, it turned into a hilarious laughter, and in the end, even the body trembled violently.

Yan Yu got up angrily and wanted to hit him, who knew that the man cleverly avoided it, stretched out his hand to stop her in his arms, and gently teased in her ear: "I have seen you, the girl who fell into the river in the afternoon." ”

Yan Yuqing couldn't move in his arms, only glancing at him fiercely with his eyes, struggling to escape from this huge confinement.

"Don't move," the man suddenly said with a threat that could not be refused.

was so shocked that Yan Yuqing was really stunned.

The corners of the man's mouth rose with satisfaction, took off Yan Yuqing's multi-treasure bracelet, and looked Yan Yuqing back and forth several times before he said slowly: "Miss Yan, she is really a wonderful person." ”

Yan Yuqing was uncomfortable with him, and remembered a trick that the family had taught her. After silently counting one, two, three, in his mind, he raised his elbow and slammed into his chest, bending down to escape from under his arm.

The other person covered his chest, not angry, looked at her with a smile, and said, "You can't run away." ”

"Who the hell are you? What do you do with my stuff? Yan Yuqing didn't expect that there were people in the Assassin's Mansion who dared to be so rude to her, and they still knew who she was.
