Chapter 21 The second young man of the Xie family
"Nope." Mu Yutao came to his senses and said sharply.
"It's just a gesture, let's help him this time."
"Young Master Luo" Mu Yutao deliberately lowered his voice, "There are a mixture of dragons and snakes here, and we are personally inconvenient. ”
"It's okay, he has legs and feet, and he doesn't need to be carried, we just go out together, it's not a big deal."
“……”
Mu Yutao was speechless, quietly looked at the sunset, and said after a long time, "Why do you have to take him out." ”
Luo Xi didn't seem to pay attention to Mu Yutao's strange appearance, and when she heard this, an evil aura overflowed from her eyes, "You'll know in a while, now go and call a girl." ”
"Girl?"
"Yes, girl, a girl who wears a little bewitching"
The eyebrows are like distant mountains, the eyes are like stars, the bridge of the nose is high, the lips are charming, the slender waist is curling, not a hand, the white skin looming under the tulle makes people's blood gush, Luo Xi looked at the Xie family in front of him with satisfaction, and said, "How is it?" No one will recognize it. ”
Mu Yutao looked at the ...... "girl" in front of him and nodded silently.
"It's just...... Can I take the girl out here? Luo Xi asked suspiciously.
Xie Jie, Mu Yutao "......"
Xie Jie pulled the green skirt on his body with both hands at a loss, and was furious, "You don't know if you can dress me up like this!" ”
Luo Xi said without guilt, "It's the first time I've been here, and the brothel I've been to before can be done as long as there is money, but we don't have too much money on us, so I don't know if it's enough......"
Xie Jie breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have money." As he spoke, he hurriedly went to the pile of clothes on the ground to find his money bag, took out a piece of gold twice as big as Mu Yutao, and handed it to Luo Xi, "Give, give." ”
Luo Xi took it with a smile, weighed it, obviously very satisfied, and said to the two, "Then let's go"
"Wait" I saw Xie Jie carry the unconscious woman on the ground onto the wooden bed, carefully arrange the quilt for her, and stuff his slightly bulging money bag into her hand, and clean it all up before saying, "Let's go." ”
Mu Yutao's black face and Xie Jie's gold were really a sharp weapon for going out, and the process of the three of them leaving was very smooth. Coming to the alley casually, Xie Jie couldn't stand the outfit on his body anymore, turned around to run, and was grabbed by Luo Xi.
"Eh, didn't you say there must be a lot of thanks? You haven't said how to repay us? Luo Xi stopped him and said urgently.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll go to you." As he spoke, he took three steps and two steps across the sunset, and left as if he were fleeing.
"Why don't you stop him, he doesn't count."
Mu Yutao said, "You are also full of eyes, and you still want to take advantage of others." ”
Luo Xi laughed hehe, "It's too, such a stunning beauty, I don't know what kind of person can raise such a beauty, but it's a pity, it's a man." As he spoke, he unconsciously kept up with Mu Yutao's footsteps.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be someone from the Xie family in Hecheng."
"Xie family?"
Mu Yutao nodded, there are thousands of people with the surname Xie in the world, and the only thing that can make the world known is the Xie family in Hecheng, the Xie family started because of silk, and has been in business for generations, and has developed to hundreds of years now, and the business covers all aspects of salt, tea, rice vinegar, clothing, cloth, antiques, poetry, books and musical instruments, etc., and its scope is all over Kyushu, which is a veritable home of great wealth.
Luo Xi thought for a while and said, "It's really possible, I saw that he left that girl except for underwear and a jade pendant, but now that I think about it, there is a 'Xie' word engraved on that jade pendant." ”
Then he suddenly stood up and shouted, "Ah, then we are not at a loss!" That's the Xie family of the rich country, just let him run away, and there was no blood at all. ”
Mu Yutao looked at her depressed expression and was in a much better mood, and a little smile overflowed at the corner of her mouth, "Let's go"
……
The next afternoon, Luo Xi finally got up from the bed, stepped out of the door, and saw Xie Jie, who was extremely impatient waiting in the hall, and Mu Yutao, who was expressionless, and Li Li, who was dedicated to carving wood, sat at the table next to him.
Luoxi took Jingjing downstairs and said to Xie Jie, "It's you?" ”
Xie Jie turned around when he heard this, and saw that his eyes were full of light after the sunset, and said, "The girl is very kind, Xie Jie is unforgettable, and he will come as soon as the morning dawns." ”
"You know it's me?" Luo Xi suspiciously said that she was wearing men's clothes last night.
Xie Jie smiled, "Although Xie Jie doesn't learn and has no skills, he can still see whether a man is a woman." ”
Luo Xi said, "Then how do you know I'm here?" ”
Xie Jie said, "The girl's bearing is extraordinary, she must be extraordinary, I heard that the best inn in the city was all covered, I guess it was a girl, so I came here to try my luck, but I didn't expect it to be." ”
Luoxi sat down and said, "Then you are here to repay the favor now?" How are you going to repay the favor? ”
"You think you need to go to Crane City, right? It just so happens that my family is also in Hecheng, so it's better to travel together, and I cover the cost. ”
Luo Xi was surprised again, "How did you know that we were going to Crane City to play?" ”
Xie Jie's face was slightly pale, "The girl only woke up at noon, she must have nothing important to do, she came here without anything, she came out to play at a glance, since she wants to play, where can she compare to Hecheng?" ”
"Well, that makes sense" Luo Xi nodded, and said conclusively, "That's good, that's it." ”
Mu Yutao frowned, still remained silent, so that Li Li on the side was a little puzzled, looked at Mu Yutao's face and said, "This is not good." ”
Xie Jie smiled and said, "This little brother is not polite, your master saved me from danger, such a great kindness, Xie Er must repay it." ”
"Xie Er?"
"Exactly, in the lower body of the Xie family in Hecheng, the second in line, I don't know what you call it?"
Luo Xi smiled and said, "My name is Luo Yu, a person from Zeguo, this time I followed my cousin to Chensuhai to pay a birthday to a relative, because I passed through Hecheng on the way, I wanted to stay in Hecheng for a few more days and enjoy the scenery of Chu State." Pointing to the two behind him, "This is my maid Yuan Bao and the retinue copper coin, as for this is my cousin, he ......"
Mu Yutao had been staring at the wooden bowl on the table in a daze, as if she had woken up at this time, glanced at Luoxi lightly, interrupted her, and said, "I'm Mu Tao." ”
Although the Xie family is a family of businessmen and cannot enter the officialdom, their business is all over the four countries, and they must have an understanding of the affairs of the DPRK and China, and it is very necessary to conceal their names, but this name is ......, and they must not be allowed to play freely!
Luo Xi saw that he took the conversation, and secretly said that it was a pity, fortunately, there was still a Wei Wu who was not there, she hurriedly grabbed the conversation, and said, "Eh, by the way, I also have a guard named Wu Ergou"
"Wu Ergou?" Unsurprisingly, Xie Jie's face showed disbelief in horror.
"Yes, yes, it's Wu Ergou, why didn't you see him?"
Li Li replied, "He went out to buy a carriage." ”
As he spoke, Wei Wu strode in.
Mu Yutao was the first to react and said, "Wuzi, how is the carriage prepared?" ”
Wei Wu saw that there was a living person, and he was much more restrained, and he didn't say much, "I've found it, who is this?" ”
"The second child of the Xie family in Xiahe City, Xie Jie." Taking advantage of Xie Jie's greeting, Mu Yutao and Luo Xi glanced at Li Li and Jingjing respectively at the same time, the two of them understood, and at the same time they started to walk towards Wei Wu from behind Luo Xi, sensing each other's actions, the two were slightly stunned, glanced at each other, and made a decision in the light of light.
Jingjing hurriedly stepped forward, blocking Wei Wu's gaze at Xie Jie, and said at the same time, "You can come back, the weeds in the backyard are too dense, just waiting for you to come and weed." ”
Jingjing's sudden enthusiasm startled Wei Wu, and he subconsciously asked, "Weeding?" I? What about Xiao Er?"
"En, you are clean" Jingjing said that she didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and pulled Wei Wu to the backyard together.
……
Watching the two disappear behind the door, Li Li secretly exhaled, but he didn't wear a goof.
The corners of Luo Xi's mouth were slightly hooked, but the smile disappeared into the dust in a blink of an eye, and disappeared without a trace.
Xie Jie was surrounded by the clouds and mountains in front of him, and after a while, he said, "By the way, when does Mu Gongzi plan to leave?" ”
Mu Yutao said: "Listen to her." ”
Luoxi seems to be very satisfied with this answer, and people are much more normal, "Then tomorrow." ”
Xie Jie said, "Then we will set off tomorrow, and at noon we can go to Shixi Village, which is not far from here, where the braised fish is famous far and wide, and after lunch, we will go south all the way, and we can reach Hancheng in the evening." ”
"Okay, then everything will be arranged by Gongzi Xie."
"Then don't bother much, we'll meet here tomorrow morning."
"Okay."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Xie Jie walked away with a red face, and Luo Ximu sent him away, until he couldn't see anyone, his body instantly relaxed, and he deliberately said weakly, "Quick, fast, have you eaten well?" Starve me to death. ”
When Li Li heard this, he immediately turned around and went into the kitchen, and only Mu Yutao and Luo Xi were left in the lobby.
Luo Xi lay on the table, blinked at Mu Yutao and said, "Why don't you ask me why I walked with Xie Jie?" ”
"Will Your Highness say that?"
"If you ask, I'll say." Luo Xi's eyes were sincere and tender, Mu Yutao was so embarrassed that she staggered her gaze, silently picked up the teacup, and inadvertently saw Luo Xi's dissatisfied mouth in the corner of her eyes.
……
But just because he doesn't ask doesn't mean Jingjing won't ask.
"Your Highness suspects that Xie Jie deliberately approached you?"
At night, when the weather was getting cooler, Jingjing carefully made the bed for the two of them and asked softly.
"I'm not sure, but Luo Cheng wrote to me to let me find a way to get to Hecheng, and someone will answer when I get there, and I guess Xie Jie is probably the one who came to pick up."
Jingjing put down the brocade quilt in her hand, looked back at the sunset in front of the window to admire the moon, and said, "The slave thinks the same way." The Xie family has shops all over the world, and there are also many businesses in Yan Kingdom, so it is not surprising to know King Cheng. ”
Luo Xi took a deep breath and said, "Not only that, I think that at the beginning, the Liu family and the Qian family were not the family of the general trend, and the Yun family can be described as different from the cloud mud, where did they get so much capital to attract courtiers to compete with the Yun family, there must be other forces behind him to support him, I have never figured out who has such a big deal before, and now it seems that it is likely to be the Xie family of Hecheng." ”
Jingjing frowned and asked, "But the Xie family is far away in the Chu State, although they have a business in the Yan State, and they can spend a little money to dredge it up, why do they need to pay a lot of capital to interfere in the internal affairs of Yan?" ”
Luo Xi shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, she said indifferently, "But just with the name of the second young man of the Xie family, he has a usable value, and find a way to make him use it for us." ”
After a pause, he muttered again, "But you can't treat him like you did with Wei Wu." ”
The voice was small as if talking to herself, but in Jingjing's ears, it was like a bell and drum, shaking her all over.
